回答问题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?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. He took home four medals in total, two golds, one silver and one bronze.Sun said his success was down to hard work. For years he has made it a rule to swim 20km every day. “When I trained in Australia, it was winter. Although the weather was cold and I was tired, I started training at 4:30am,” he said. The post-1990 athlete is popular not only because of his victory in London, but also his sportsmanship.Nicknamed “Sun Mengmeng” online, which in Chinese refers to his innocent appearance and charming personality, Sun has gained more than 10 million followers on Sina Weibo. His first message about his trip back to his hometown, Hangzhou, after the Olympics, received thousands of responses. “The high-speed train on my way home has been blocked for three hours due to Typhoon Haikui,” it said. “Is it possible for me to arrive home tonight?” Some Weibo users even visited his page to give funny replies, such as, “Why not swim home?”Sun may dream of matching his idol, American Michael Phelps, who has won 22 Olympic medals. But as a third-year student in Zhejiang University, he says he has a long way to go.“Sun works hard in class. His diligence shows the choices o f a new generation of Chinese athletes, who are making more time for their education and not just focusing on sport,” said his professor, Zheng Fang.93.

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 wi ndow. 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 his 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.

Carriages, horses, and bikes rushed in every direction (方向), and then they were80 by the newest toy of the rich people, the “automobiles (汽车).” In those days, crossing a street used to be a real challenge for people walking. There were no 81 for drivers. The New York Police Department had to create a special group of policemen to control traffic.

This was very confusing, so in 1924 the city adopted (采用) the system used in railroads: red for stop, green for go, and yellow forslow. This system became standard all over the world.The first automatic traffic lights came into use in Wolverhampton, England, in 1927.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.

That goes far 51 the old records.The extent of how 52 the year has been in the US has 53 some meteorologists(气象学者) who have warned about global warming.“Everybody has this uneasy feeling. This is not good,” said Jerry Meehl, a climate scientist who54 in extreme weather at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo. “It’s a55 pleasure. You’re out enjoying this 56 March weather, but you know it’s not a good thing.”It’s not just March.“It’s been going on for several months,” said Jake Crouch, a climate scientist at NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in Ashville, N.C.Meteorologists say an unusual combination of several weather 57 , including La Nina, was the direct cause of the warm start to 2012. While individual events can’t be 58 on global warming, Crouch said this is like the extremes that are supposed to get more frequent because of 59 climate change from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil.Normally, March 60 42.5 degrees across the country. This year, the average was 51.1, which is closer to the average for April. Only one other time — in January 2006 — was the country as a whole that much 61 than normal for an entire month.In March, 62 7,775 weather stations across the nation broke daily high temperature records and another 7,517 broke records for night-time 63 .

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）Marshall was a promising young artist. He painted with great feeling. His paintings were all characterized by a strong love and sympathy for people. His high school art teacher felt he had a special talent.Marshall’s father didn’t want him to be a painter, however. Mr. Donaldson wanted his son to be a stockbroker(股票经纪人). He wanted Marshall to continue the dynasty started by his great-great grandfather in 1820. The family business, Donaldson and Donaldson Inc., was now a large, successful investment firm.Mr. Donaldson felt Marshall was much too individualistic. “Listen,” he told his son, “I had no say in choosing my career. I just did what my dad told me.”“But you are good at business,” Marshall replied. “I’m not. I’m sure I would just cause trouble for you and problems for the company.” Marshall felt there was no way he could ever fill his father’s shoes. And, although he was no stranger to high society, he didn’t feel comfortable among the wealthy. He preferred the ordinary, working-class people of the city. His paintings told of their struggles and their hopes.Sometimes after school Marshall would hang around outside a factory gate. He would draw the workers as they came out at the end of their shift. Marshall wondered how they could keep doing that hard, boring work year after year. Then he realized most of them would be doing something different if they could. But their great obstacle in life was lack of education.When Marshall got home, he would take out his paintings. The paintings expressed his sympathy and respect for those hard-working people.Well, Marshall never did enter the family business. This angered his father. But as Marshall got older, his career as an artist began to take off. He became quite famous, and people paid large amounts for his “plain people” paintings.In time, this success won Marshall’s dad over. Mr. Donaldson could see his son was born to paint. Marshall was glad his father finally came around. And happily, the two began to work together after all. Twice each year they held a benefit art show.Marshall donated a number of his paintings to be sold at each show. The persuasive Mr. Donaldson got his wealthy friends and clients(客户) to attend—and to spend. The money from the art sales was used to help factory workers improve their education.65. Why didn’t Marshall’s father want Marshall to be a painter at first?A. He thought Marshall was good at business rather than art.B. He expected Marshall to continue their family business.C. He wanted Marshall to earn more money.D. He thought Marshall was individualistic.66. From the passage we can learn that ___________.A. Marshall’s choice turned out to be wrongB. Marshall’s choice affected their family businessC. Marshall’s father at last supported Marshall’s choiceD. Marshall’s father was always unhappy with Marshall’s choice67. The underlined phrase “take off” in paragraph 7 probably means “__________”.A. to take away or removeB. to go away unexpectedlyC. to stop working temporarilyD. to suddenly become very successful68. It was __________ that made Marshall a successful artist.A. his talent and diligenceB. his dad’s help with art showsC. his art teacher’s supportD. his desire to help poor people（B）To whom it may concern,I highly recommend Jane Doe as a candidate for employment.

Millions more live with adults who are sick from AIDS.Lucie Cluver from Oxford University in England has studied children of AIDS(AIDS orphaned children and children living with sick adults) in South Africa. She says children can be deeply affected by their experiences. And one of the biggest impacts we see is mental health, their psychological health. So, for example, we see that AIDS orphaned children have very much higher levels of depression, anxiety and stress disorder than children who have a live parent or children whose parents have died of other causes. Lucie Cluver says children have to live with the sense of shame connected to AIDS. Many are abused(欺负) at school or excluded from the community.Children living with sick adults are more likely to live in poverty and face physical and emotional abuse. Also, Lucie Cluver says the children often become the caregivers. They’re missing school to go and get medication. They’re often taking them to the toilet, cleaning their wounds or washing their bedclothes. So these kids find it ve ry stressful and upsetting. They’re very worried about the health and feel responsible for the health of the sick person. Close contact with sick adults can sometimes spread tuberculosis(肺结核) or other diseases. And, as Lucie Cluver said, even when the children are in school, paying attention can be difficult. It’s constantly on their minds and really making it difficult for them to do well at school. She calls for testing more children for tuberculosis. She also calls for giving more parents the drugs needed to keep them healthy longer with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.There are programs to help children, but there is “far more to be done.” Interventions(干预治疗) and support groups are “urgently needed” for those orphaned by AIDS or living with sick adults. But the evidence for which interventions are effective “is still thin”.72. The topic of the passage is __________.A. children of AIDS doing badly at schoolB. more and more children suffering from AIDSC. children of AIDS facing mental problemsD. an increasing number of people dying of AIDS73. According to Lucie Cluver, AIDS orphaned children have very much higher levels of depressionmainly because they __________.A. have a sense of shame connected to AIDSB. cannot focus their attention on study at schoolC. are more likely to be affected with tuberculosisD. often have to miss school to look after their sick parents74. We can infer from the last paragraph that __________.A. enough has been done for children of AIDSB. interventions prove very effective for children of AIDSC. nothing can be done to help children except interventionsD. interventions may be useful for helping children of AIDS75. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The first case of AIDS occurred 30 years ago.B. Children whose parents are infected with AIDS often help with housework.C. Children whose parents have died of causes other than AIDS don’t have stress disorder.D. Children don’t have psychological problems when their parents are still alive with HIV.Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph.There is one extra heading which you do not need.Making informed choices before and during your trip is the single most important thing you can do to become a responsible traveler. With a little planning, you can improve the quality of your trip, while making a real difference to the people and places you visit.76. ______________________________Search the web and consult guidebooks to start your pre-trip homework. Look for information and resources on eco tourism. Ecotourism Explorer, TIES’ interactive online directory, makes searching for your perfect eco-holiday easy! Choose guidebooks with information on your destination’s environmental, social and political issues, and read before booking.77. ______________________________Call or email tour operators that have firsthand knowledge of the place you are considering visiting. Check the websites of all accommodations. Let tour operators/hotels know that you are a responsible consumer. Before you book, ask about their social and environmental policies. For instance - What is your environmental policy? What percentage of your employees are local citizens? Do you support any projects to benefit the local community?78. ______________________________Are the businesses you’re considering certified? Do they have eco-label ratings, or have they won eco-awards? Have you heard of the AAA or 5-star rating systems? These long-standing labels judge hotel quality and services. Many certification programs have also been created in tourism to rate the environmental and social impacts of tourism businesses. These programs are important tools for distinguishing genuine ecotourism companies, products or services from those that are merely using “eco-” as a marketing tool to attract consumers. More and more companies have earned eco-labels, and we encourage you to purchase from these businesses.79. ______________________________A growing number of tourism businesses are helping to financially and materially support community projects and offering travelers the opportunity to get involved. Many of TIES members around the globe are leading the efforts to give back to local communities and enhance the livelihoods of local people through ecotourism. We encourage you to contribute to and participate in these projects, and support those companies that are making positive impacts on the lives of local hosts.80. ______________________________Don’t Be Fooled by green-washing. “Eco” is a fashionable label used widely in the tourism industry. It sounds appealing, but much of what is marketed as “eco” is simply traditional tourism with superficial changes. So it’s important to check behind the labels.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.A finding in recent years shows that men cannot manufacture blood as efficiently as women can. This makes surgery riskier for men. Men also need more oxygen because they do not breathe as often aswomen. But men breathe more deeply and this exposes them to another risk. They draw more of the air into their lungs when it is polluted.Men’s bones are larger than women’s and they are arranged somewhat differently. The female walk that causes so many whistles is a matter of bone structure. A man has broader shoulders and a narrower pelvis(骨盆), which makes him walk with no waste moti on. A woman’s wider pelvis,designed for childbearing, forces her to put more movement into each step she takes with the result that she displays a bit of jiggle and sway(摇摆) as she walks.If you think a man is brave because he can climb a ladder to clean the roof, don’t forget it is easier for him than for a woman. The angle at which a woman’s thigh(大腿) is joined to her knees makes climbing difficult for her, whether it is a ladder or stairs or a mountain that she is climbing.A man’s skin is thicker than a woman’s and not nearly as soft. This prevents the sun’s radiation from getting through, which is why men wrinkle less than women do. Women have a thin layer of fat just under the skin and there is a plus to this greater fat reserve. It acts as an invisible fur coat to keep a woman warmer in the winter. Women also stay cooler in summer because the fat layer helps protect them against heat. Men’s fat is distributed differently. And t hey do not have that layer of it underneath their skin. In fact, they have considerably less fat than women and more muscle. 41 percent of a man’s body is muscle compared to thirty-five percent for women, which means that men have more muscle power. The higher proportion of muscle to fat makes it easier for men to lose weight. Muscle burns up five more calories a pound than fat does just to maintain itself. So when a man wants to lose weight, the pounds roll off much faster.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. What is this passage mainly about?_______________________________________________________________________________82. That men breathe more deeply can result in a risk of _____________________________________.83. The female walk with a bit of jiggle and sway is caused by the fact that _____________________________________________________________________.84.

Your virtual (虚拟的) classroom is open around the clock, seven days a week.The teacher’s lectureIn an online classroom your teacher’s lecture is written rather than s 88 . There are several advantages. The online classroom is completely different from the real one. If you can’t remember what your teacher said, all you have to do is to reread his or her lecture. In most cases you will be able to get a copy of the lecture. You will be able to review your teacher’s lecture w 89 even getting online again.Students’ interactionOnline students may find it d 90 to talk with each other face to face.

Venice was a city of beautiful buildings and water canals(运河). Many businessmen did business in Venice. Marco Polo’s father and uncle were businessmen. They had traveled to a far-off country called Cathay. (Cathay is now called China.) There they had friends with the great ruler, Kublai Khan(忽必烈). He i 87 them to return to Cathay.When Marco Polo was seventeen years old, he began a journey to China with his father and uncle. They sailed the Indian Ocean and crossed the desert and mountains of Asia on camels. The journey to China took three years.Kublai Khan greeted the Polos and sent them lots of gifts. He was especially impressed (留印象) with Marco, who could speak four l 88 including Chinese and others.Khan sent Marco on many trips t 89 China. On these trips, Marco saw many amazing things that he had never seen in Europe, such as coal used as fuel, paper moneyi 90of coins, and papermaking and printing processes. Marco made many notes about life in China.After almost twenty years in China, the Polos began their journey home to Italy. Kublai Khan gave them many gifts of ivory, silk, jewels, and jade.When they returned to Venice, they found their city at war. Marco Polo was put in prison.

In online communication at least, entering untrue details about name or age may no longer prevent others from working out exactly w 86 you are.Microsoft is developing a new software that could accurately guess your name, your age, your s 87 and possibly even your location. Many studies show that there are strong relationship b 88the websites that people visit and their personalities. For example, 74% of women try to get some information about health and medical information online, while only 58% of men do. The software could use a wide series of such details to make a good guess about their ID from a p 89 browsing history.So far the software can only guess your age and other information with any accuracy, but the research team say they expect to be able to "predict (预测) your job, and perhaps your location one day."H 90 , Ross Anderson, a computer security engineer at the University of Cambridge, thinks the i 91 could put Microsoft in big trouble. “I think it h92 if Microsoft were to sell such software widely.

We took off from the runway and c 90 higher and higher. After about an hour, we went down from the plane into the space shuttle. The plane then dropped the space shuttle at very high altitude(高度). The engines in the space shuttle started, and thirty minutes later we were in space.I admit that for a few seconds I felt a little n 91 when I sat in the space shuttle. However, when we left the Earth’s atmosphere, everyone began to float(飘浮). It was great fun!

It is called the high definition television or the HD-TV. The main difference between an HD-TV and a normal television is the picture. It is more clear and detailed. This is because the HD-TV has many more points and lines that make a television image .Every color television picture contains thousands of red, green and blue points. They all come together as an image in the eye of the person watching .The points are organized in lines that go across the television screen. There are more than five hundred lines in a normal television .The HD-TV has two times as many .To get this clear picture, you must have a big screen .Experts say people using a small screen will see little difference.The HD-TV also has clear sound. It is like the sound on a CD. All these improvements make an HD-TV very costly. One kind in Japan now sells for more than twenty thousand dollars .A major problem with the HD-TV is its broadcast signal（传播信号）.The signal is bigger than normal because it carries more electronic information.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。
