2025-2026学年四川巴中初一(上)期末试卷英语

1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

How important is music? 1. It’s often believed that listening to music is nice, but not very meaningful. It is often only thought to be entertainment（娱乐）, but not the first choice for education. This opinion is wrong.

Music tells us who we are. 2. Music reflects the musicians’ ideas and the social environment that they are in. For example, just as Mozart’s music represents（代表）a lifestyle, rock music also represents a lifestyle. George Gershwin’s music is another example. He introduced jazz style into his music.

3. 音乐以一种不同的方式帮助人们了解世界。Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music explores（探索）emotional（情绪的）meanings. People need every possible way to learn and experience more.

Music shows people’s thoughts. We can “talk” to each other in this amazing way. Through the language we express different feelings. 4. Our happiness, pain and hope can be sensed by others. When we do not let our children receive a good music education, we take them away from the meanings that music expresses. 5. 毫无疑问，我们的孩子无法欣赏音乐之美是一种遗憾。So music education is much more necessary than people usually think.

24、

China's second female astronaut, Wang Yaping, has given the country's first-ever video lecture from space. The whole lecture lasted about 40 minutes.

Speaking to students through live video, from the Tiangong-I space laboratory, Ms. Wang used spinning tops (旋转的陀螺), a ball and some water to explain physics in zero-gravity(失重), with the help of a fellow astronaut.

Ms. Wang used different experiments to demonstrate the concepts of weight and mass (重量和质量的概念) in space. Towards the end of the class, Ms. Wang made a film(薄膜) of water using a metal ring. She then turned the film of water into a water ball by pouring more water onto it.

Around 330 primary and secondary school students watched the lecture from a special classroom in Beijing, where they could also ask Ms. Wang questions through live video. From time to time, the students greeted her lecture with warm applause(掌声).

When answering a student's question, Ms. Wang described what she could see in space. "The stars we see are much brighter, but they do not twinkle(闪烁)," she said, "The sky we see isn't blue, but black. And every day, we can see the sun rise 16 times because we circle the Earth every 90 minutes."

25、①Would you like to get fewer colds and feel better? Would you like to have a taste of a special plant? Would you like to keep a plant with little care? An Aloe Vera plant could be just what the scientists may suggest!

②Growing Aloe Vera plants at home can make the air clean and fresh. Studies have shown that they give off oxygen (氧气) and take away harmful things from the air. With clean and fresh air, you are more likely to stay away from colds, sore throats and dry coughs. And even if you do get sick, Aloe Vera plants may help you get better from the illness faster.

③Did you know that Aloe Vera plants can be used as medicine? Aloe Vera gel (胶体) helps to deal with the pain of burns. And it also helps with itchiness (痒) caused by insect bites. To get this gel, just cut off a part of the plant, peel it, and put the gel on the affected skin (患处). This easy-to-get and safe-to-use medicine is available to you all year round.

④Apart from medical use, Aloe Vera plants are also popular in food industry. Whether you are interested in Aloe juice or crazy about Aloe yogurt, you’ll easily find them in the supermarket. Aloe Vera can also go with other vegetables to make a safe dish on your dinner table.

⑤ __________ They like dry, warm air with bright light, so they grow best when placed near a window. Aloe Vera plants are able to keep water in their leaves. So, they do not need to be watered so often as most houseplants. Just wait until the earth is completely dry before you water them. When watering, make sure the earth is wet enough so that it can last for a long time. That’s all you need to do to take care of an Aloe Vera plant.

26、Have you ever wondered what P.E. classes are like in other countries? In China, P.E. tests are necessary for students to graduate (毕业) from both middle school and high school. To get good grades on the P.E. tests, Chinese students will need to practice running as well as doing sit-ups and pull-ups (引体向上). However, this is not the way that P.E. classes work in US high schools.

I didn’t know the rules of football and baseball when I first came to the US. The teacher let me sit on the sidelines and watch how other students played them in order to let me find out the rules.

We also learn some useful life skills in P.E. classes. Last year, I learned how to do CPR (心肺复苏), which is a life-saving skill. We were also taught how to give first aid to someone who is in danger. These skills are a large part of the final grade for the P.E. class in my high school. Self-defense (自卫) is taught in P.E. class as well.
