He is best known forhis translations of ancient Chinese poems into English and French.Xu’s translation career(生涯) began during his college years when hestudied at the National Southwest Associated University in Kunming. In1939, he translated a poem written by Chinese poet Lin Huiyin titled Don’tCast Away, which is known as his earliest work. In the late 1940s, Xu wentto France to study French literature(文学). Later he returned to China andbegan to work at Peking University.While teaching at Peking University, Xu kept on his translation work. He was the first Chinese to translate Chinese poetry into English and French. For him, translated literature is a beautiful art. He once said, “The greatest joy on the earth is to introduce the beauty created by a people to the whole world.”Xu paid much attention to the beauty of language. He would leave something out and add something to make the translated works more beautiful. But other translators thought that made his translation a bit different from the meaning of the source text(原作). Xu had many debates(辩论) with them. He said, “I’m not afraid, because the truth becomes clearer with each debate.”Over the years, Xu’s beautiful translation works have acted as a cultural bridge connecting the East with the West, English- and French-speaking readers are able to better understand Chinese literature through Xu’s tran slations. At the same time, Chinese readers can enjoy foreign works in the same way as they read works written in Chinese.( )6. Xu’s translation career started _______.A. when he studied in KunmingB. when he was studying in FranceC. after he came back from France( )7. The underlined sentence tells us that _______.A. Xu wanted to let others enjoy beautyB. Xu had a lot of fun translating worksC. Xu showed great interest in literature( )8. Xu often debated with other translators because _______.A. he wanted them to pay attention to beautyB. they didn’t think he was the best translatorC. they didn’t agree with Xu about his translation ideas( )9. The last paragraph mainly talks about _______.A. the opinions of English readers on Xu’s worksB. the influence of Xu’s works on Chinese readersC. the meaning of Xu’s works in connecting different cultures( )10. Which is the best title for the passage?A. The beauty of languageB. Xu Yuanchong, a great translatorC. Translated literature, a beautiful artDMany of us have this experience: a piece of music keeps playing inour heads when we are awake. It turns out this can happen during sleep aswell. And it can cause problems in getting to sleep and staying asleep.“Our brains continue to process music even when none is playing,including while we are asleep,” said the neuroscientist(神经科学家)Michael Scullin. His research team surveyed(调查) 199 people and madea sleep test on 50 volunteers. They wanted to find out how listening to music, especially listening to earworms(洗脑音乐), before bedtime influenced our sleep.In the survey, people who listened to music during the day were more likely to report nighttime earworms. That then had a bad influence on their sleep quality(质量) through the night.For the lab test, volunteers were played several earworms and then their sleep quality was tested. Earworms were reported throughout the night. They needed longer time to fall asleep and woke up more times during the night.We thought that people would have earworms at bedtime when they were trying to fall asleep, but we certainly didn’t know people would regularly(经常地) wake up from sleep with an earworm,” says Micha el, “But we saw that in both the survey and the test.”People used to believe that listening to music could help them have a better sleep, because it can relax the body. But Michael and his team suggested that it might be worse for our sleep — that even after the music stops, our brains continue to process it for several hours.Michael suggested avoiding listening to music right before bed to limit the chance of a song taking hold in our minds. “Doing some other activities, like making a list of jobs for th e next day, might help clear the mind,” Michael said.( )11. Michael and his team did the research to find out _______.A. the influence of earworms on our sleepB. why nighttime earworms happenC. the influence of bad sleep on our health( )12. What was the new discovery about listening to earworms in the research?A. It would make people stay up late.B. It would make people have earworms at bedtime.C. It would make people wake up more often at night.( )13. The underlined word “limit” has the closest meaning to “_______”.A. controlB. increaseC. share( )14. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A. Listening to music before going to bed is good for health.B. People can do some sports to relax the body before sleeping.C. The more we listen to music, the worse sleep we may have.( )15. What’s the purpose of the passage?A. To help readers improve sleep quality.B. To tell readers about the recent research.C. To ask readers to stop listening to music.第二节阅读下面短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Maybe we can sit in a car that can drive itself.About 40 years ago, scientists from the United States started to develop self-driving cars (无人驾驶汽车).The most famous recent one was made by Google in 2009.

The car made a trip from Changsha to Wuhan.Is a self-driving car safe? A recent study shows that robots make safer drivers than humans- If only 10% of cars on the street are self-driving, they will save 1,000 lives (生命)every year. If 90% of vehicles (交通工具)are self-driving, 21,700 lives will be saved a year. However, a self-driving car is expensive and each costs about $ 100,000. So it is impossible to be very popular in the near future.根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误。

It's said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as a drink. One day Shen Nong was boiling drinking water over on an open fire. Some leaves from a tea plant fellinto the water and remained there for some time.It produced a nice smell so he tasted the brown water. It was quite delicious, and so, one of the world's most favorite drinks was invented.A few thousand years later, Lu Yu, "the saint of tea", mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown, and used to make tea. It also discusses where the finest tea leaves were produced and what kinds of water were used.It's believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In England, tea didn't appear until around 1660, but in less than 100 years it had become the national drink. The tea trade from China to western countries took place in the 19th century . This helped to spread the popularity of tea and the tea plant to more places around the world.Even though many people now know about tea culture, the Chinese are without doubt the ones who best understand the nature of tea.( )11.Many people believe that tea was first drunk about 3000 years ago.( )12.It’s said that Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as a drink.( )13.Lu Yu,“the father of tea”,mentioned Shen Nong in his book ChaJing.( )14.The tea trade from China to western countries took place in the 19th century.

But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was a shade(遮蔽) against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, back in the century BC.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt, and Babylon as a sunshade. And it became a symbol of honor and power（权力）.In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high positions or by royal people such as kings or Queens.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece(希腊), but it's believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella almost disappeared（消失）. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late 16th century. And again it became a symbol of power.Umbrellas haven't changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight, the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors until the twentieth century .21.

Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal—dog! These words show the friendship between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give happiness to people’s lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. A few even leave all their money to their pets when they die!Ani mals can help people, too. Dogs can be taught to be the “eyes” for a blind person or “ears” for a deaf person. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too. Because of that, animals are br ought into hospitals for “visitors”.Americans hold “Be Kind to Animals Week” in the first week of May. Pet shows are held during the week. Even if you don’t live in America, you can do this, too. How? First, think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food. Also, be sure to keep your pet from those unwanted babies.If you don’t have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a dog on the street, don’t kick it or throw th ings at it. Instead, just leave it alone, or better yet, make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to an animal, try to stop them. As people, we must protect animals who can’t speak for themselves.( )36、“A few even leave all their money to their pets when they die!”means that .A、pets have the right to inherit(继承) moneyB、money can give pets happinessC、it’s the best way to spend moneyD、some pets are taken as children( )37、Why are dogs brought into hospitals?A、Because they are ill and need to see doctors.B、Because they can make the patients happier.C、Because they can find out the problems of the patients.D、Because doctors can do experiments on them.( ) 38、What is the passage mainly about?A、A lot of people are interested in dogs.B、Dogs can help people do many things.C、Pets are lovely and need care and protection.D、We have done a lot of things for pets.( )39、The words “man’s best friend”shows ___.A、the friendship between people and peopleB、the friendship between people and animalsC、the friendship between animals and animalsD、the friendship between men and womenBHave you ever noticed an advertisement which says “Learn a foreign language in s ix weeks, or your money back! From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send…” and so on? Of course, it never happens quite like that. Anyone who learns a foreign language would think that it is not true.The only language that is easy to learn is the mother tongue(母语). What is the mother tongue? It is the first and main language that you learnt when you were a child. And think how much practice that a child gets!Before the Second World War, people usually learned a foreign language in order to read the literary （文学的）works of the country. Nowadays, speaking the foreign language is what most people want. Every year many millions of people start learning one. How do they do it?Some people try at home, with books and tapes; some use radio or television programs; others go to evening classes. If they use the language only two or three times a week, learning it will take a long time, like language learning at school. A few people try to learn a language fast by studying for six or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn a foreign language in the country where it is spoken. However, most people cannot afford this, and many language learners need the language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists and doctors mainly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the student’s work for him. Whether the language is learned quickly or slowly, it is hard work with a lot of training in reading, listening, speaking, and writing.( ) 40. In the advertisement it is possible for a person to learn a foreign language ________. In fact, everyone who learns English would think it is not true.A. more than a centuryB. half a weekC. six yearsD. less than two months( ) 41. The easiest way for us to learn a foreign language is .A. using the language six or more hours a dayB. learning the language at schoolC. studying the language in the foreign countryD. reading the foreign stories as many as possible( ) 42. Nowadays most people now learn a foreign language to .A. read reports in a foreign languageB. communicate with foreign friendsC. go to the other country for further studyD. try their best to work bette rCAs a student, do you carry too much on your back when you go to school? You’re not alone. Back experts in the United States are worried that young students are having back and neck problems as a result of carrying too much in their backpacks (schoolbags).“It hurts my back when I run,”said Oberlin Reyes, a student in Virginia.“It’s hard to get up the stairs with my backpack, because it is too heavy.”Oberlin is among students whose backpacks were weighed for a week in a recent study.They had regular backpacks with two straps (带子) to carry them, but a number of students with heavy loads had changed their schoolbags into rolling backpacks (which have wheels and can move on the ground).Shirley Park, whose backpack weighed 10 kilograms, said that she changed to a rolling backpack because she was starting to have back pain(疼痛).How much is too much? Experts say students should carry no more than 10 to 15 percent of their own body weight.A few students had one suggestion to lighten the load: less homework. P.S. (附) Doctor ’s suggestion:① Lighten the load. Clean out binders (活页材料) and take home only the books you need that night.② Wide straps are better. They send out the weight over your shoulder s more evenly (均匀). And be sure to wear both straps rather than hanging the pack over one shoulder. ③ Pack smart. The heavier things should be packed closed to the back.④ Bend both knees when you pick up the pack, and don ’t just bend over at the waist (腰). ( ) 43. “__ ___” is the main idea of the text.A. The problem of backpacks is worth studyingB. The problem made by heavy backpacksC. What is the best backpack for a studentD. How to make students ’backpacks light( ) 44. According to Enderlin Reyes and Shirley Park, we know ______.A. students have to do too much homeworkB. backpacks have to carry heavy booksC. backpacks without wheels are bad for studentsD. too much homework makes students feel comfortable.( ) 45. According to the passage, it’s better for a student of 40 kilograms to carry a backpack of _____ at most by the words of experts.A. 10 kgB. 8 kgC. 6 kgD. 7 kg初三年级第二学期第三次月考英 语 试 卷第一卷（选择题，共55分）题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案题号 31 32 33 34 35答案级 姓名 学号 准考证号 考场 座位号题号36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45答案第二卷（非选择题，共65分）四词汇（每题1分，共15分）A.根据汉语或首字母提示写出单词，使句子完整。
