北京四中七年级英语下学期期中考试试卷及答案（4）
北京四中七年级英语下学期期中考试试卷及答案（4）六、阅读短文回答问题。
(共5分，每小题1分)Why is music an important subject that every child should study?Scientists say that music helps children with language learning. Singing simple songs is good for young children. Music improves the ear—and we know that children who have studied music can learn foreign language more easily and pronounce them far better. Students who have learnt to play music are also better at math. This is not surprising, as music is mathematical, with notes in order. Playing music with other people also teaches children to work together. People who can play musical instruments(乐器)always have something they can do at a party. Older children who play in school bands and orchestras(乐团)enjoy school more and do not drop out of school(离校)early.You need a lot of practice to play an instrument, and it can be difficult to persuade(说服)your child to spend hours at the piano or playing the guitar. So music practice should be a daily habit—for example, every day after school, but do not make the practice too long.Parents should listen to their children playing and tell him or her that they enjoy it. Practice should also be fun. It is also a good idea to finish the practice with a piece of music the child likes, and so learning music will be a pleasant part of the day.66. Can music help students learn maths better?____________________________________________________________67. Why are students who have learnt to play music better at math?____________________________________________________________68. Is it good or bad for a child to spend a long time playing an instrument?____________________________________________________________69. Who should listen to the children when they are playing instruments?____________________________________________________________70. What does playing music with other people teach children?____________________________________________________________第四部分书面表达(共30分)七、选择正确的短语并用其正确形式填空。

Then Miriam and her mother visited Africa to learn how the group was helping elephants. Later, Miriam fell in love with the animals and wanted to help save them.A few months after visiting Africa, Miriam watched How I Became an Elephant, a film about the mistreatment of elephants in Thailand, and a young girl's effort to save them. Miriam decided she wanted to raise money to save elephants.Last year, Miriam created a program called They Deserve（应得） to Be Free after seeing how young elephants are abused in Thailand.

Then she created a plan to sell clay elephants.Kate, Miriam's art teacher, opened her art studio（工作室）to Miriam and her friends on weekends so they could make clay elephants. She even gave them the clay." It's great to see a young student wanting to spend her time on something meaningful.

It is in the south of the earth. Australia is big, but its population is small. The population of Australia is nearly as large as that of Shanghai.Enough laws（法律） have been made to fight against pollution. The cities in Australia have got little air or water pollution. The sky is blue and the water is clean. You can clearly see fish swimming in the rivers. Plants grow very well.Last month we visited Perth, the biggest city in western Australia and went to a wild flowers exhibition.There we saw a large number of wild flowers we had never seen before. We had a wonderful time. Perth is famous for its beautiful wild flowers. In spring every year, Perth has the wild flowers' exhibition. After visiting Perth, we spent a day in the countryside. We sat down and had a rest near a path at the foot of a hill. It was quiet and we enjoyed ourselves. Suddenly we heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. What we saw made us pick up all our things and run back to the car as quickly as we could. There were about three hundred sheep coming towards us down the path.Australia is famous for its sheep and kangaroos.

Ask to receive it the next day! Each day, more and more people try on-line shopping. In fact, online sales have doubled in the last ten years. But not everyone is excited. Some scientists now say that online shopping is bad for the environment.People are surprised to hear this." They think, I don't need to drive, and the business doesn't need to build a store, so there will be less pollution," says Nuria Prost, an environmental scientist. "But it is not so simple. In fact, online shopping is wasteful. It also adds to air pollution."In truth, the Internet is not always as good a friend to the environment as it seems. For example, most people thought that the Internet would help offices use less paper and other materials. But paper use increased by33percent between 1986 and 1997."Online shopping could have similarly harmful results," says Nevil Cohen, a researcher of environmental science. Part of the problem is what people are buying these days. In the past, people bought things on the Internet that did not require much packing material, such as books and clothing. But now people also shop online for large, heavy pro ducts such as televisions, computers, chairs and tables. These products need to be packed in lots of plastic and paper. This creates a lot of waste.Another problem caused by online shopping is air pollution. When customers buy products and ask to receive them the next day, online businesses often have to send them by air. Airplanes use much more oil than cars and produce more carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）. When people buy a lot of different things from different online businesses, this creates even more travel by airplane.Online product returns are also a problem. For example, an online shoe store may allow customers to return shoes for free if they are wrong size. This doubles the packing materials and number of airline trips required to sell one pair of shoes."If people want to protect the environment, they need to think before they shop," says Prost. "People need to ask themselves: Is this exactly what I want? Do I really need it tomorrow, or can I wait?" Online stores can also ask customers to pay money for returns. This may make people shop more carefully." Online shopping is fast and easy, "says Prost," but we can't forget the harmful result it has caused to the environment."（1）The passage begins with several questions to .A. introduce the main topicB. describe online shoppingC. show the writer's opinionD. list advantages of shopping（2）What is the passage mainly about?A. The Internet is not good to the environment.B. Online shopping causes more air pollution.C. Online shopping is bad for the environment.D. Stop online shopping to protect the environment.（3）Which of the following is to show that online shopping is wasteful?A. Large products need more packing materials.B. Paper use increased by 33 percent about ten years.C. Businesses need to build a store to sell the products.D. Online shopping costs less than shopping in a store.（4）What is probably the best title of the passage?A. A Good Deal to MakeB. A Different Lifestyle to KeepC. A Cleaner Way to ShopD. A New Business to Start（5）Which of the following shows the structure（结构）of the passage?（P=Paragraph）A.B.C.D.6．阅读理解One Thursday afternoon, when I was in Grade 9, a new boy came into my classroom. He was short and thin. He walked up to the teacher and told her, very seriously, that he was new. His name was Christian. He sat down, took a look at me, and then looked away. I didn't think he was very nice and I was sure he wasn't the type I would like to become friends with.During that year, I didn't talk to him much, but he smiled at me when our eyes met, always shyly. He never ate lunch with anybody, and he never talked to anybody but me.But one day I joined those unkind kids who were making fun of him. We made fun of him though I thought it was wrong."Haven't you got any friends?" a kid asked Christian, who had walked past us alone, head down. "No, he hasn't got any friends. He's too stupid and shy," I said. Then Christian looked up at me with the saddest dog eyes I had ever seen. I felt very sorry at that moment.That night, I couldn't sleep because I couldn't get Christian's face out of my mind. In the weeks that followed, he never met my eyes in class and never smiled at me. It was really hard for me to decide to write him a note asking him to forgive （原谅） me. But I thought I should.The next day in class, I wrote him a note telling him how sorry I felt. About five minutes later, I turned and saw tears in his eyes. "You will never realize what your apology （道歉） has meant to me, Jimmy," he said to me. "I hope we can become friends."We had lunch together that noon and we had the best talk I had ever had. Over the years at high school, we were close friends.When I think back, I realize that, if I had not apologized, I would never have known what a lovely person Christian was!Apologies can really change your life, so never miss the chance to tell somebody you are sorry.（1）From the passage, we know Christian was a ________ boy.A. tall and fatB. short and shyC. short and activeD. lovely and fat（2）Jimmy felt ________ after he made fun of Christian with other unkind kids.A. happyB. interestedC. sorryD. bored（3）This passage tells us that ________.A. we should make an apology when we hurt othersB. Jimmy's apology was unimportant to ChristianC. Christian wasn't lovely in factD. it is impossible to say sorry to others7．阅读理解Many people thought a computer wasn't supposed to be able to beat a top master at theancient Chinese game, Weiqi, for at least another 10 years. But AlphaGo, an artificially intelligent system （人工智能系统） designed by Google, made it. It easily beat Lee Sedol last year, one of the best players in the world. It challenged the world's top players to show how much progress it had made over the past few years.In late May, 2017, AlphaGo appeared in China and played against 19-year-old Ke Jie in Wuzhen, China. He is No. 1 player now in the world. However, the result wasn't out of people's expectation. He lost the match. Though Ke Jie tried his best and he once saw the victory just a step away, he lost his best chance when he became excited.At the press conference （新闻发布会）after the match, Ke Jie was interviewed by the reporters. He said he had realized how powerful AlphaGo was, and it was getting perfect. When a Chinese reporter asked him in English, the reporter spoke so fast that the interpreter （口译员）couldn't catch him. Ke Jie got kind of angry and told him that it was unnecessary for two Chinese to speak in English. The reporter apologized to him and offered to ask him for a coffee.The cat and mouse game is over, but the challenge between man and robots will still go on. （1）Which was the most probable date when Ke Jie played against AlphaGo?A. May 5.B. May 23.C. May 18.D. May Day.（2）Why did Ke jie get angry at the press conference?A. Because he lost the game.B. Because the reporter couldn't catch the interpreter.C. Because the reporter asked him in English.D. Because the reporter wasn't able to speak Chinese well.（3）According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. People thought a computer could beat humans many years ago.B. Ke Jie was expected to lose the match.C. Ke Jie asked the reporter for a coffee.D. AlphaGo had great trouble winning the game last year.（4）AlphaGo is ______.A. Ke JieB. Lee SedolC. a Weiqi matchD. an artificially intelligent system 8．阅读理解Stonehenge means "hanging stones". They stood in a circle, with 30 more stones lying on top to form a ring of rocks. There was also an inner circle built with similar stones. The stones set up in a trilithon（巨石牌坊） pattern.A trilithon is made of two stone pillars with a stab of rock laid across the top. The stones weigh up to 20 tons each. People wonder how the huge rocks were placed that way.Historians agree that Stonehenge was built in three different stages. The first stage took place about 5, 000 years ago. At that time, a large circular earth wall was made. Historians believe the wall was dug and cut with tools made form anglers（鹿角）of red deer. The earth wall was about 98m in diameter（直径） a 5-meter-tall stone was placed near the center. Then, they had to transport the large blue stones （up to 4 tons） 384 kilometers to Stonehenge. Experts think they might be moved across ice and snow. The ground in winter in this area is usually full of ice and snow, making it easier to move the rocks. The next task was to stand the stones up. The mostdifficult task was putting the top stones in place. Each one of these tasks took a lot of planningand a lot of strength, but the workers of Stonehenge were excellent builders.Why was the monument built? Some scientists think it's a burial ground. There are over 400 graves （burial sits） nearby. A man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest goldever found in Britain （dated to 2470 BC）. Others think Stonehenge was built by early astronomers. Scientists believe that when a person stands in the center of the monument, the changing of seasons can be seen. Certain stones mark the location of the rising and setting moonin midwinter. Other stones mark the rising and setting sun in midsummer. The ancient peopleheld religious ceremonies on these days. These ceremonies probably asked the gods to bringgood weather for crops and to protect the people from bad weather.Stonehenge is an engineering success. Thousands of years later, it still stands. As a calendar, Stonehenge is very accurate. It shows that early people had a deep understanding of the movements to the sun and the moon. They didn't have machines or computers, but Stonehenge shows people could do many things using only their muscles and their brains.（1）he first building stage of Stonehenge was ________.A. to dig and cut the earth wallB. to move the blue stones across the iceC. to stand the stones upD. to put the top stones in place（2）Which evidence（证据） is given to support the idea that Stonehenge was a burial ground?A. Stonehenge was made of stones.B. It is a place for celebrating ceremonies.C. The passing of seasons can be seen there.D. Two gold earrings were found in a grave.（3）The underlined word "accurate" in the last paragraph probably means "________".A. correctB. strangeC. hugeD. heavy（4）Stonehenge was probably NOT originally built for ________.A. touristsB. religious reasonsC. a burial groundD. telling the seasons9．阅读理解Swimming and English Learning Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well, how can youlearn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I'm afraid you'll never learnto swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It's the same withthe English study. We must practice, practice and practice.Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn't matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word.Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He's afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don't be afraid. We must be brave.If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important. When there's nobody to talk with, youcan talk to yourself in English. It's interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you'll make.Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we're interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don't be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.Easier said than done. Well, let's do more practice from now on. I'm sure you'll learn English well in this way.（1）You can learn to swim by ______.A. reading books about itB. looking at others swimmingC. having lessons on itD. going into the river and learning（2）We should learn English by ______.A. listening and speakingB. reading and writingC. A and BD. swimming（3）What will you do with mistakes when you speak?A. Don't make mistakes.B. Study hard.C. Try not to speak English.D. Don't be afraid. 10．阅读理解Vanuatu is an island nation in the South West Pacific. It is one of the smallest countries in the world. But for those who are interested in adventure and sports, there is a lot to do. Vanuatu's islands offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world: volcano（火山） surfing and land diving.Volcano Surfing On Tanna Island, Mount Yasur rises 361 metres into the sky. Yasur is an active volcano, and it erupts（爆发） almost every day, sometimes several times a day. For centuries, people have climbed this mountain to visit the top. Recently, people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano. In some ways, volcano surfing is like surfing in the sea, but in other ways it's very different. Volcano surfers try to escape the erupting volcano-- without getting hit by flying rocks! It's fast, fun and dangerous- the perfect extreme sport（极限运动）.Land Diving Most people are familiar with bungee jumping, but do you know bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu and is almost fifteen centuries old? The activity, first called land diving, is part of a religious ceremony（宗教仪式）. A man ties tree vines（树藤） to his legs. He then jumps head- first from a high tower to touch the earth with the top of his head- without breaking the vine. Every spring, island natives （men only）still take part in this amazing activity.（1）In the first paragraph, what does the underlined word refer to?A. People.B. Animals.C. Activities.D. Islands.（2）According to the passage, Mount Yasur?A. is no longer activeB. is on Pentecost IslandC. erupts almost every dayD. rises 800 metres into the sky（3）Why have people recently started climbing Mount Yasur?A.

It is a traditional activity in Vanuatu.D. It came to Vanuatu from another country.（5）What is the purpose of the passage?A. To tell people not to do dangerous sports.B. To explain what volcano surfing and land diving are.C. To talk about the world's best volcano surfer and land diver.D. To compare activities in Vanuatu with sports in New Zealand.11．阅读理解Science fiction is a popular kind of writing, and many people think of Jules Verne（凡尔纳） as the father of science fiction.
