新目标(Go for it)版2018-2019学年初中英语七年级下册Unit 7 It's raining! 单元过关卷(含听力音频)
It's December. It is snowy and the weather is really cold in the north of China. You can see many children playing with snow. Some of them are making snowmen. Some are skating on the river. It's so cold that the water in the river freezes (冻结). It's a white world. How beautiful!
But in Australia, the weather is hot now. Many people go swimming in the sea. They are having a good time. Jim and his friends are playing soccer near the sea. They want to swim after playing soccer.
Why can they swim in December? It is winter, isn't it? Yes, it is in China. But it isn't in Australia. That's because China and Australia have different seasons in a year.
K.L. Rothey, 71, from the United States, a retired lawyer (退休律师)
Rothey has given himself the Chinese name of Luqi or “roadside beggar (乞丐)”. In his eyes, beggars are doing important work—collecting rubbish. What they do is not dirty.
Rothey first visited China in 1984 and soon he became interested in Chinese culture. Married to a Chinese woman, he lived in Huangshi. Many people know him because he often shows up in the street collecting rubbish. “Huangshi is my home so I hope it becomes cleaner and more beautiful,” says Rothey. He has also organized volunteers to collect rubbish in other cities, including Wuhan.
Jill Robinson, 50, from Britain, founder (创立者) and CEO of Animals Asia Foundation.
She has been working for nearly 20 years to stop people from getting the bile (胆汁) from moon bears.She began working for the International Fund for Animal Welfare in Hong Kong in the mid-1980s. A business trip to a bear farm in 1993 changed her life. She saw so many moon bears killed by people. She said she would be back to set them free.
In 1998, she set up the Animal Foundation. In July 2000, the foundation agreed to free 500 farmed moon bears. In 2002, the Moon Bear Rescue (救援) Center was set up in Chengdu.
“As much as we save them, they save us. These bears save us every day and they teach us to be better people,” Robinson says.

I am from India. India is a large country in southern Asia. It has the second largest population in the world. People in India speak 16 different languages. The main language in our country is Hindi(印地语).
Do you know Indian food? Indian people think it is good if it is hot. My favourite food is lamb(羊羔肉)with bread and spice. I think it is the most delicious food in the world.
Only about one third of the people in India know how to read and write. Some parents only send their sons to school. I am very lucky because I know how to read and write.
The India elephants are very famous around the world. They eat many kinds of fruits, like bananas. An elephant eats between 330 and 350 pounds of food and drinks lots of water each day. So they have to travel to new places to get new food and water. A mother elephant always takes good care of her baby. When she is away, other elephants will look after her baby.
