So he 80 his partner whether to give up the cotton or take the gold. But his partner held a different view that since he had carried the cotton for such a long way, he would not change it with gold or all his previous effort would turn out to be wasted. 81 , he was wondering whether the gold was real or not. Therefore, he still carried the cotton while the other woodsman threw it away and carried the gold 82 .When they just went down to the foot of the mountain, it began to rain all of a sudden. Both of them were wet from head to toes. More 83 , the woodsman who carried the cotton found that his cotton had absorbed (吸收) tons of water and became so 84 that he could no longer go on carrying it.

You can set your own timetable, and wear jeans to work. You never have to 80 a boss, and you make all decisions yourself. You can even raise your salary any time you want.But the reality is different. “Having your own business can be 81 ,” says David Paik. After working for an advertising agency for six years, he started a website design business at home. His income in the first two months was $0. 82 , he got a big project creating a website for a magazine. Then he had a new problem: his timetable. “I was working twelve hours a day, seven days a week, because I didn’t ha ve employees to help me.” Today, Paik Web Design is successful, but David says, “I really wasn’t prepared to be a business owner. I didn’t 83 the difficulty.”With no boss, it’s easy to take too much time off—and get too little work done. With no workmates, you might feel bored or 84 . You have to pay for your own holidays. If you make a bad business decision, you could lose all the money. For all of these reasons, more than half of all new businesses fail within one year.Another problem is bala ncing work with personal life. As a business owner, you can’t just stop at 5 p.m. and forget about your work until tomorrow. “Even when I’m watching TV in the evening, I’m always thi nking about my 85 and projects,” says David Paik.Still, hundreds of people around the world start businesses every day, and most enjoy the experience. “There are lots of advantages to having your own business,” says Denise Williams, the owner of a women’s clothing store. “You can decide exactly how to do your work, how m uch money you want to make, and who will work for you.”80.

A) memorize B) realize C) have D) solve84. A) angry B) funny C) lonely D) sorry85. A) lessons B) holidays C) customers D) friends80. B 81. A 82. D 83. B 84. C 85. C松江区初三英语第一学期期末质量抽查试卷The old man walked slowly into the restaurant. His poor jacket, patched (打补丁的) trousers, and worn-out shoes made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd.Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that sparkled (闪耀) like diamonds, large rosy cheeks, and thin lips held in a steady smile.With the help of his walking-stick, he walked toward a 80 by the window. A young waitress named Mary watched him and ran over to him, and said, “Here, sir. Let me give you a81 with that chair.”Without saying a word, he smiled and nodded a thank-you. She pulled the chair away from the table. Steadying him with one arm, she helped him move in front of the chair, and get82 seated. and leaned (斜靠)his walking-stick against the table. In a soft, clear voice he said, “Thank you, Miss.” “You’re welcome, sir.” she replied. “My name is Mary. I’ll be back in a moment. If you need 83 , just wave at me!”After he had finished a hearty meal, Mary brought him the change from his ticket,helping him up from his chair and out from behind the table. She 84 him hiswalking-stick, and walked with him to the door.

B徐汇区初三英语第一学期期末质量抽查试卷Like underground systems all around the world, there are two main rules on the London Underground: Please mind the gap and please give up your seat to a person carrying a child or heavy luggage.But London’s 150-year-old underground system is a little bit different 80 there are also another two rules: Never look at others and don’t get too close to the other passengers. If you do any of these things, you will break 81 , and the whole carriage(车厢) will look at in an unfriendly way.On the London Underground, people do not talk to one another, nor look at one another. If they have to look at each other, they will 82 faster than you can say duibuqi. Passengers usually keep some distance away from the others. In crowded carriages people will stand near the door at station stops, so the carriage looks full when actually there is plenty of 83 . There is no pushing yourself in as Beijing subway passengers do.The biggest problem comes with getting a seat, and some people in England even explain how to get a seat on the Internet. If you are lucky enough to find yourself sitting in one of the few seats 84 wants, you will catch the attention of the whole carriage, so you can’t win.Sometimes the train driver will make a joke over the loud speaker, saying something like, “How is everyone getting on in there?” A few people will smile and realize that how strange the Underground environment is. 85 , it will be back to the basic rules as soon as this moment passes,: No eye contact, no touching, no getting into personal space and no standing on the left.80.

As we were going out the door, a young teenage boy was coming in.This young man had no hair on the sides of his head and some blue hair on top of it. One of his nostrils was pierced (穿孔), and his ears were full of rings. He held a skateboard under one arm and a basketball under 80 . Caitlynd, who was walking ahead of me, stopped when she saw the teen.I thought he'd scared her and she'd frozen on the spot. I was wrong. My Grand Angel backed up against the door and opened it as 81 as it would go. Now I was face to face with the young man. I stepped aside and let him pass. His response was a kind "Thank you very much".On our way to the car, I praised Caitlynd for her 82 in holding open the door for the young man. She didn't seem to be 83 by his appearance but I wanted to make sure. If a grandmotherly talk about freedom of self-expression and allowing people their differences was in order, I wanted to be ready.It 84 that the person who needed the talk was me. The only thing Caitlynd noticed about the teen, was the fact that his arms were full. "He would’ve had a hard time to open the door." I saw the partially shaved head, the blue hair, the piercings and the earrings. She saw a person carrying something under each arm and heading toward a door.

2013年上海市初三英语一模回答问题汇总宝山区初三英语第一学期期末质量抽查试卷George Washington Carver was a scientist who helped farmers learn how to grow new crops and take better care of the soil. He studied many different plants and crops, but some of his favourites were peanuts, sweet potatoes and pecans(美洲山核桃).We don’t know exactly when George Washington Carver was born, but it was probably sometime in the 1860s. His mother was a slave(奴隶)owned by a farmer in Missouri(密苏里州)named Moses Carver. Young George Carver was fascinated by plants and flowers. He tended(照料)his own little garden. People began to see what a gift (天赋)he had for growing things. They called him the “the plant doctor” and asked him to help them grow their gardens better.George longed to go to school. But in those days most schools only taught white children. So, George had to move to a town eight miles away to attend a school for black children. At that time, some people wrongly believed that a black child should not get any education.His determination carried him all the way through college. In 1894, George Washington Carver graduated from Iowa State University. Soon he was invited to teach at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, a college created especially for African-American students. It was just what Carver wanted: a place where he could study plants and agriculture, and help educate other black men and women.Carver wanted to help farmers in the South. They had been raising cotton for many years,and the crops weren't growing strong and healthy any more. Carver said they needed to improve the soil by growing other crops, like peanuts. People laughed and called peanuts monkey food. Nobody ate peanuts then. One evening a group of important people came to dinner at Tuskegee. George Washington Carver planned the menu. What do you think he served? Peanut soup, peanut bread, creamed peanuts, peanut cookies and peanut ice cream for dessert(甜点)!In his laboratory Carver learned how peanuts could be used to make shoe polish(鞋油),ink, oil, shampoo(洗发精), soap(肥皂),and shaving cream (剃须膏). Altogether, Carver discovered over three hundred ways to use the peanut. People started calling him “the Wizard (奇才)of Tuskegee”.93.What did George Washington Carver help farmers do?___________________________________________________________.94.People don’t know the exact birthday of George Washington Carver, do they?____________________________________________________________.95.Why did he study at a school far away?____________________________________________________________.96.How could the farmers in the South improve their soil?____________________________________________________________.97.How many things could peanuts be used to make in Carver’s laboratory?____________________________________________________________.98.Why did Carver serve some important guests with a lot of peanut food?____________________________________________________________.93.

They could improve the soil by growing other crops, like peanuts.97. Peanuts could be used to make six different kinds of things in his laboratory.98.Because he wanted to let them understand peanut was a kind of useful and important plant.(Any reasonable answers can be acceptable.)长宁区初三英语第一学期期末质量抽查试卷HITTING the water with almost superman’s love and strength, Sun Yang has made history after his excellent performance at the London Olympic Games.The 20-year-old Sun became the first Chinese man to win gold in swimming.

But as a third-year student in Zhejiang University, he says he has a long way to go.“Sun works hard in class.

The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met , yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything seen through the dirty window was unclear. I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside.Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible (看得见的). Her window was clean!Then I realized that I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching her window through my own dirty window.That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcoming?Since then, whenever I want to judge someone, I will ask myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?”Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.93.

Holmes is acharacter created by British writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. His books were sopopular that Holmes soon became “the most famous detective in the world”.What do you need to be a good detective? The movie Sherlock Holmes willshow you.In this movie, this great detective faces a dangerous man, Lord Blackwood.Together with his best friend Dr Watson, Holmes stops Blackwood’s plan tocontrol the world with black “magic”.Most of us are not as intelligent as Holmes. But we can also work outRule No. 1: Justice (正义) is most important.No matter how smart he or she is, the most important quality for a detective is being good. Inthe movie, Lord Blackwood and Sherlock Holmes are both very intelligent. The difference is thatLord Blackwood is a bad man and he does bad things. Holmes can beat him on the side of justice.Rule No. 2 Have sharp eyesEvery bad man tries to cover up what he did. But not all things can be covered up easily. Agood detective can discover clues hidden at crime scenes with sharp eyes. For example, Holmescan simply look at a man’s footprints and quickly find out h is personal information like age and habits.Rule No. 3: A good assistant is a great help.Even though Holmes has knowledge about many subjects , such as chemistry, botany(植物学) and anatomy, he still needs Dr Watson’s help to fight with him. We should also have someoneto help you, especially if you don’t know as much as Holmes.Rule No. 4: Logic (逻辑) is the key.A good detective never jumps to conclusions. When all the necessary clues are put together,you’d better think carefully. If you can’t work it out, don’t be afraid. Just take a deep breath and concentrate on thinking.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题):(12分)George Washington Carver was a scientist who helped farmers learn how to grow new crops and take better care of the soil. He studied many different plants and crops, but some of his favourites were peanuts, sweet potatoes and pecans(美洲山核桃).We don’t know exactly when George Washington Carver was born, but it was probably sometime in the 1860s. His mother was a slave(奴隶)owned by a farmer in Missouri(密苏里州)named Moses Carver. Young George Carver was fascinated by plants and flowers. He tended (照料)his own little garden. People began to see what a gift (天赋)he had for growing things. They called him the “the plant doctor” and asked him to help them grow their gardens better.George longed to go to school. But in those days most schools only taught white children. So, George had to move to a town eight miles away to attend a school for black children. At that time, some people wrongly believed that a black child should not get any education.His determination carried him all the way through college. In 1894, George Washington Carver graduated from Iowa State University. Soon he was invited to teach at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, a college created especially for African-American students. It was just what Carver wanted: a place where he could study plants and agriculture, and help educate other black men and women.Carver wanted to help farmers in the South. They had been raising cotton for many years,and the crops weren't growing strong and healthy any more. Carver said they needed to improve the soil by growing other crops, like peanuts. People laughed and called peanuts monkey food. Nobody ate peanuts then. One evening a group of important people came to dinner at Tuskegee. George Washington Carver planned the menu. What do you think he served? Peanut soup, peanut bread, creamed peanuts, peanut cookies and peanut ice cream for dessert(甜点)!In his laboratory Carver learned how peanuts could be used to make shoe polish(鞋油),ink, oil, shampoo(洗发精), soap(肥皂),and shaving cream (剃须膏). Altogether, Carver discovered over three hundred ways to use the peanut. People started calling him “the Wizard (奇才)of Tuskegee”.93.What did George Washington Carver help farmers do?___________________________________________________________.94.People don’t know the exact birthday of George Washington Carver, do they?____________________________________________________________.95.Why did he study at a school far away?____________________________________________________________.96.How could the farmers in the South improve their soil?____________________________________________________________.97.How many things could peanuts be used to make in Carver’s laboratory?____________________________________________________________.98.Why did Carver serve some important guests with a lot of peanut food?____________________________________________________________.VII.

In the town a very nice white wine is made. And there are beautiful beaches here in Galicia, although there probably is 79 on them at the moment.And most important of all is the people.

In general, they are used to keep students in line for many different reasons.One of the __75____ of wearing school uniforms is that there is no need to __76____ what children are doing to wear every day, and there is more concentration on class. One of the benefits of school uniforms in this case is that there is no __77____ with others. Everyone is wearing the same clothes every day. This way, instead of competing over who is wearing what, there is more focus on the daily school work.

This system became standard all over the world.The first automatic traffic lights came into use in Wolverhampton, England, in 1927.

Therefore, he still carried the cotton while the other woodsman threw it away and carried the gold 82 .When they just went down to the foot of the mountain, it began to rain all of a sudden. Both of them were wet from head to toes. More 83 , the woodsman who carried the cotton found that his cotton had absorbed (吸收) tons of water and became so 84 that he could no longer go on carrying it.

You can set your own timetable, and wear jeans to work. You never have to 80 a boss, and you make all decisions yourself. You can even raise your salary any time you want.But the reality is different. “Having your own business can be 81 ,” says David Paik. After working for an advertising agency for six years, he started a website design business at home. His income in the first two months was $0. 82 , he got a big project creating a website for a magazine. Then he had a new problem: his timetable. “I was working twelve hours a day, seven days a week, because I didn’t have employees to help me.” Today, Paik Web Design is successful, but David says, “I really wasn’t prepared to be a business owner. I didn’t 83 the difficulty.”Wi th no boss, it’s easy to take too much time off—and get too little work done. With no workmates, you might feel bored or 84 . You have to pay for your own holidays.

C松江区初三英语第一学期期末质量抽查试卷The old man walked slowly into the restaurant. His poor jacket, patched (打补丁的) trousers, and worn-out shoes made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd. Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that sparkled (闪耀) like diamonds, large rosy cheeks, and thin lips held in a steady smile.With the help of his walking-stick, he walked toward a 80 by the window. A young waitress named Mary watched him and ran over to him, and said, “Here, sir. Let me give you a81 with that chair.”Without saying a word, he smiled and nodded a thank-you.

B徐汇区初三英语第一学期期末质量抽查试卷Like underground systems all around the world, there are two main rules on the London Underground: Please mind the gap and please give up your seat to a person carrying a child or heavy luggage.But London’s 150-year-old underground system is a little bit different 80 there are also another two rules: Never look at others and don’t get too close to the other passengers. If you do any of these things, you will break 81 , and the whole carriage(车厢) will look at in an unfriendly way.On the London Underground, people do not talk to one another, nor look at one another. If they have to look at each other, they will 82 faster than you can say duibuqi. Passengers usually keep somedistance away from the others.

As we were going out the door, a young teenage boy was coming in.This young man had no hair on the sides of his head and some blue hair on top of it. One of his nostrils was pierced (穿孔), and his ears were full of rings. He held a skateboard under one arm and a basketball under 80 . Caitlynd, who was walking ahead of me, stopped when she saw the teen.I thought he'd scared her and she'd frozen on the spot. I was wrong. My Grand Angel backed up against the door and opened it as 81 as it would go. Now I was face to face with the young man. I stepped aside and let him pass. His response was a kind "Thank you very much".On our way to the car, I praised Caitlynd for her 82 in holding open the door for the young man. She didn't seem to be 83 by his appearance but I wanted to make sure. If a grandmotherly talk about freedom of self-expression and allowing people their differences was in order, I wanted to be ready.It 84 that the person who needed the talk was me. The only thing Caitlynd noticed about the teen, was the fact that his arms were full. "He would’ve had a hard time to open the door." I saw the partially shaved head, the blue hair, the piercings and the earrings. She saw a person carrying something under each arm and heading toward a door. I’m always the one who is so quick to judge. In the future, I hope to get down on her 85 and raise my sights.80. A) other B) the other C) another D) one81. A) far B) fast C) wide D) soon82.
