1.I wonder whether there is any girl or boy who does not like to see a rainbow in the sky. It is so beautiful.
There is a story, saying that whenever you see a rainbow you should run at once to the place where it touches the ground, and there you would find a pot of gold. Of course it is not true. You could not find the pot of gold or its end. No matter how far you run, it always seems far away.
A rainbow is not a thing which we can feel with our hands as we can feel a flower. It is only the effect of light shining on raindrops. The raindrops catch the sunlight and break it up into all the wonderful colours which we see. It is called a rainbow perhaps because it is made up of raindrops and looks like a bow（弓).
That is why we can never see a rainbow in a clear sky. We see a rainbow only when there is rain in the air and the sun is shining brightly through the clouds.
Every rainbow has many colours in the same order. The first or the top colour is always red, and the next comes
orange, then yellow, and last of all, blue. A rainbow is indeed one of the wonders of nature.
【1】Children like rainbows because .
A．they are beautiful
B．they are like bows
C．they can find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow
D．they are good to crops
【2】We cannot feel with our hands.
A．a pot of gold B．a flower C．a rainbow D．a raindrop
【3】We can see a rainbow .
A．when it is raining heavily
B．when it is snowing
C．when it is cloudy
D．when it is becomes fine shortly after raining
【4】Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．A rainbow is like bow.
B．A rainbow is the effect of light shining on raindrops.
C．Every rainbow has different colours in different orders.
D．A rainbow is one of the wonders of nature.
【5】The first colour of a rainbow is always .
A．yellow B．red C．green D．blue
2.When we talk about intelligence(智力)，we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school．By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving(表现)，especially in a new situation．If we want to test intelligence，we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do．
For example，when in a new situation，an intelligent person thinks about the situation，not about himself or what might happen to him．He tries to find out all can be，and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it．Probably he isn’t sure how it will all work out，but at least he tries．And if he cannot make things work out right，he doesn’t feel ashamed(羞愧)that he failed，he just tries to learn from his mistakes．An intelligent person，even if he is very young，has a special outlook(看法)on life，a special feeling about life，and how he fits into it．
If you look at children，you’ll see the great differences between what we call “bright” children and “non-bright” children．They are actually two different kinds of people，not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence．For example，the bright child really wants to find out about life, and he tries to get in touch with everything around him; while the unintelligent(不聪明的) child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world：he seems to have a wall between him and life in general．
【1】According to this passage，intelligence is the ability to_________．
A．get some high scores on some tests
B．do well in school
C．deal with life
D．have a lot of book knowledge
【2】In a new situation，an intelligent person________．

B．learn from his mistakes
C．try to find all he could
D．make sure what result he would get
【4】Bright children and non-bright children________．
A．are two different types of children
B．are different mainly in their degree of cleverness
C．have differences only in their way of thinking
D．have different knowledge about the world
3.Once upon a time，there were two good friends．One was called Jack and the other was called James．One day，the two friends were walking through the desert．During the journey they had a quarrel，and Jack couldn’t control himself and hit James in the face．James felt hurt，but he didn’t say anything．Instead，he wrote in the sand，“Today my best friend Jack hit me in the face．”
They kept on walking until they found an oasis(绿洲)．They decided to get some water there．Suddenly James had trouble in the water，he fell into the mire(泥潭)and was in danger．Jack saved him at once．When he felt all right，he wrote on a stone，“Today my best friend Jack saved my life．”Jack was very surprised and asked James，“After I hurt you，you wrote in the sand and now you write on the stone．Why?”Jam es replied，“When someone hurts us，we should write it down in the sand so that the wind of forgiveness can blow it away．But when someone does anything good for us，we must write it on the stone，so no wind can blow it away．”
Since then，the two good friends have never quarreled with each other again and they got on better with each other．
Hatred(仇恨)can bring you nothing but unhappiness．If you don’t forgive others，you are making trouble for yourself Keep a peaceful heart all the time and remember to be always thankful to others!
【1】What happened when Jack hit his friend James in the face?
A．After he was beaten in the face James was hurt and ran away．

浙江初三初中英语期中考试答案及解析
一、单项选择
1.Do you know the famous man ________ Bill Gates?
A．calling B．calls C．called D．call
【答案】C
【解析】根据题干，本句的意思是“你知道这个叫比尔盖茨的著名人物吗？”本空应该用called。

这里的called是过去分词作后置定语，与Bill Gates连在一起做定语修饰man。

所以本题选C。

【考点】本题考查动词
点评：过去分词经常用在后置定语，经常和called用法一样的词还有named，本题也可以换成named。

2.Miss Gao isn’t at home. She to the station to meet her friends.
A．go B．has been C．will go D．has gone
【答案】D
【解析】根据通过题干，我们知道Miss Gao现在不在，答语应该是“她去了车站。

”has gone to表示“去了…”是说
某人不在此地。

所以本题选D。

【考点】本题考查时态
点评：做本题时前面一句很关键，它在暗示应该用“去了”。

注意区分have gone to“去过”和have been to“去了”的
用法。

3.I’m in __________. What about you?
A．Class One B．One Class C．class one D．one class
【答案】A

【考点】本题考查专用名词
点评：对于专用名词应注意两点：一是单词的首字母应该大写，将号码放在名词的后面；二是如果有几个地方的话，应该先写小地方，再写大地方。

4.My family always have a party ______ the evening of October 1, and the party starts ______ 8. 00 p. m.
A．at; in B．in; on C．at; on D．on; at

该用介词on，故排除ABC。

在点钟的前面用at。

所以本题选D。

【考点】本题考查介词
点评：本题容易受到以前学的in the morning的影响而选A，这是不对的。

做题时一定要注意看
morning/afternoon/evening有没有被其他词修饰。

5.-Our city looks more beautiful!
-Yes. Lots of trees and grass ______ since last year.
A．have been planted B．are planted
C．will be planted D．were planted

本题只要判断正确时态就可以选择正确答案。

6.Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo won the gold medal for China so we’re proud ___ them.

另外其同意短语是“take pride in”。

7.----How often were you late for school last term. Lisa?
---- _______. I got to school early every day.
A．Always B．usually C．Sometimes D．Never
【答案】D

Always“总是”，usually“通常”，sometimes“有时”都不符合题意。

所以本题选D。

点评：本题中的四个副词都是表示频率的，应该注意掌握它们表示的频率是多少。

8.Huangshan is a good place to _____.
A．go sightseeing B．go for a sightseeing

10.It __________ hard outside, let’s not go shopping.
A．rains B．will raining
C．raining D．is raining
【答案】D
【解析】根据let’s not go shopping可知，外面正下着大雨，故用现在进行时。

现在进行时的结构是
am/is/are+doing。

所以本题选D。

【考点】本题考查时态
点评：对于时态的题目，需要确定动作发生的时间，掌握各种时态的结构，本题很容易忽略be动词，错选C。

11.---Must I hand in my exercise book now, Mr. Zhao?
---No, you ______. You may give it to me tomorrow.
A．mustn’t B．can’t C．needn’t D．don’t
【答案】C
【解析】must的回答方式的肯定回答用must，否定回答用needn’t或don’t have to，不能用mustn’t。

因为mustn’t表示禁止做，一般不用否定回答。

本句的意思应该是“不，你不必。

”所以本题选C。

【考点】本题考查情态动词
点评：熟练掌握情态动词的用法，特别是像must的用法。

13.I don’t know the city. Where can I find ＿＿＿ good restaurant?.
A．a B．an C．the D．(不填)
【答案】A
【解析】根据题干，根据good，排除B；本句的意思是“我不熟悉这个城市。

我能在哪找的一家好饭店？”此处应该表示“一个”，故用不定冠词，排除CD。

所以本题选A。

【考点】本题考查冠词
点评：应该熟练掌握冠词的用法。

a、an是不定冠词，可以表示数量“一个”，a放在辅音音素之前；an用语元音音素之前。

the 定冠词，是特指。

14.This is a new CD ______“Best Friend”.
A．called B．calls C．calling D．is called
【答案】A
【解析】根据题干，本句的意思是“这是一张“Best Friend”的CD。

”本空应该用called。

所以本题选A。

【考点】本题考查动词
点评：：过去分词经常用在后置定语，经常和called用法一样的词还有named，本题也可以换成named。

15.The chairperson is very modest.He never_________.
A．show off B．shows on C．shows off D．show on

2.When we talk about intelligence(智力)，we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school．By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving(表现)，especially in a new situation．If we want to test intelligence，we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do．
For example，when in a new situation，an intelligent person thinks about the situation，not about himself or what might happen to him．He tries to find out all can be，and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it．Probably he isn’t sure how it will all work out，but at least he tries．And if he cannot make things work out right，he doesn’t feel ashamed(羞愧)that he failed，he just tries to learn from his mistakes．An intelligent person，even if he is very young，has a special outlook(看法)on life，a special feeling about life，and how he fits into it．
