江苏省扬州中学教育集团树人学校2015-2016学年七年级下学期期末考试英语测试

阅读下列内容,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。

    During the years of game making, there have been a number of games. Many old games have gone since modern games came out.

Teachers at a primary school asked their students to write articles about games they knew and were surprised by the results. Half of the 50 children in one of the classes wrote about online games. It is easy to see that traditional games like hide-and-seek and jump rope games are unfamiliar(不熟悉的) to many of today's schoolchildren. They like to play computer games, especially in the cities, with the rising popularity of TV, the Internet, video and online games.

    An educationist said, "Traditional games used to be so popular, but over just a few years, kids have forgotten them. It's sad."

    The games that many parents once played were generally outdoor activities which were enjoyed by students during breaks or after school. They usually needed several partners and just a little space.

    Jump rope games, for example, have always been popular in many countries around the world. A kind of jump rope game, played with rubber bands(橡皮筋) which are connected together to make a long rope, is played in many countries.

    Rubber band jumping was once very popular in primary schools. Girls loved playing this game. It can help kids practise their jumping skills and develop coordination(协调性), and also help them meet lots of friends.

    It is common these days to see primary school students spending their breaks in the classroom. They are busy with their studies.

    "When we were young, we played many different outdoor games, but today's children don't know what to play or how to play," a 40-year-old mother said. "They don't know what teamwork is."

Being worried by the situation, educational officers have tried to make some programmes to educate children on traditional games.

(1)、How are traditional games today?    

A、Today's children don't like traditional games. B、Traditional games are missing one by one. C、Traditional games aren't so easy as computer games. D、Modern games are more useful than old games.
(2)、The traditional games like hide-and-seek and jump rope games _______.    

A、can be played only in schools B、can be played only outdoors C、usually need a few partners D、need a very large space
(3)、Today's schoolchildren don't know how to play traditional games mainly because _______.    

A、they are busy with their studies B、they don't like them at all C、their parents don't let them do that D、the games are difficult to learn
(4)、Which of the following is the writer's opinion?    

A、Traditional games should take the place of modern games. B、Schoolchildren shouldn't be busy with their lessons. C、Without playing traditional games, children don't know what teamwork is. D、The whole society should try to educate children on traditional games.
举一反三
The mystery stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle are famous all over the world.
The detective in his stories is called Sherlock Holmes. He solves mysteries in a most surprising way. His assistant, Dr Watson, watches with admiration and then writes up the story of the mystery afterwards.
This is a useful story writing skill. Because Watson is not very clever, the story remains a mystery until the end. The readers can sometimes pick up some clues before he does! Then, to make Watson understand the mystery, Holmes has to explain it all, step by step. So we, the readers, get to see it step by step too. Watson is almost as good a character in the story as Sherlock Holmes!
The very first time they meet, Holmes greatly surprises Watson. When they are first introduced, Holmes says to Watson, ‘How do you do? I see you have been to Afghanistan(阿富汗).'
Watson is too amazed by this to ask Holmes how he knows this. Watson has, indeed, been to Afghanistan. Later, he asks Holmes about it. Holmes explains that there is nothing magical about what he does. He gets to know it all by very, very careful observation(观察).
Observation One
Watson was introduced to Holmes as a doctor. Yet Holmes thought that the way he stood and walked made him seem like a soldier. So, this meant he was probably an army doctor.
Observation Two
Watson's face was quite dark skinned. But his wrists were pale. So his dark face was probably sun burnt. This meant that he had been to a hot, sunny country.
Observation Three
At the time, the British army had soldiers at bases in many parts of the world. So there were still a lot of places to choose from. However, Holmes saw that Watson looked very tired and he was always holding his left arm, as if it was painful. So, he had probably been with the army to a place where they were fighting. There was only one place where the British army was fighting at that time: Afghanistan.

      Life is full of miracles. They surround us every day. One of these miracles happened to me recently. I was filling my car's tank at a local gas station. It was only 10 A.M. but I already felt tired. It was a cloudy, gloomy and rainy day and I hadn't slept well the night before. After I paid for the gas I turned my car towards the main road. I looked right and left then my brain sent the signal for my foot to push on the gas pedal but nothing happened. Shocked, I shook my head to clear it and gazed down at my foot.

      Just as I did, though, a truck rushed past my car doing 60 mph. My weary eyes hadn't seen it when I had looked just 2 seconds earlier. If I had been pulling out when I should have been, my little green car would have been smashed and I would have most likely been killed. I sat there for a long time quietly thanking God for sparing my life before pulling out on the road and heading home. This time both my brain and foot worked perfectly.

      As I looked back on that moment later I still couldn't understand it. Did God prevent my brain's signal from reaching my foot? Did an angel hold my toes to keep them from pressing on the gas? One question kept coming back into my mind as well: why? Why did I get this miracle? Why did God spare my life this day? Finally, I felt the answer forming deep within my heart and mind. I heard the words coming from my soul saying: “You still have more to do. Your work is not done yet!”

      Richard Bach wrote: “Here is the test to find if your mission on Earth is finished: if you are alive it isn't.” Wake up each day then knowing that your mission isn't done yet. You have more love to share, more people to help, more kindness to give. You have one more day to be the miracle God meant for you to be.
