浙江省余姚市2020年初中英语学业水平模拟考试试卷

阅读理解

    Gloria is a famous hostess of a TV station. When she was 15, she happened to walk into a bookstore in her hometown and began looking at the books on the shelves. The man behind the counter, John Smith, asked if she'd like a job. She needed to start saving for college, so she said "yes".

    Gloria worked after school and during summer vacations, and the job helped pay for her first year of college. During college she would do many other jobs: she served coffee in the student union, was a hotel cleaner and even made maps for the Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying jobs.

    One day a woman came into the bookstore and asked Gloria for books on cancer. The woman seemed anxious. Gloria showed her practically everything they had and found other books they could order. The woman left the store less worried, and Gloria has always remembered the pride she felt in having helped her customer.

    Years later, as a television hostess, Gloria heard about a child who was borm with problems with his fingers and hand. His family could not afford an operation, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket all the time.

    Gloria persuaded(说服) her boss to agree to let her do the story. After the story was broadcast, some doctors called, offering to perform the operation for free.

    Gloria visited the boy in the hospital after the operation. The first thing he did was to hold up his repaired hand and say, "Thank you". What a sweet sense of satisfaction Gloria felt!

    At Smith's bookstore, Gloria always realized she was working for the customers, not the store. Today it's the same. The TV station pays her, but she feels that she should work for the people who watch the programs, helping them understand the world better.

Young star shines

Over the years, skilled Chinese players have been doing very well in table tennis. Now, young athletes from Generation Z are becoming the stars of the 2024 Paris Olympics. 

Born in 2000, Sun Yingsha has been given the nickname "Little Devil" by her fans. When she was little, Sun was sensitive to the sound of a table tennis ball hitting the ground. "I felt I had some talent," she told China Daily. 

When Sun first joined the reserve squad (预备队) of the national table tennis team, she was excited. Becoming a world top player like her idol Zhang Yining has always been her dream. 

However, there have been challenges along the way. She took part in the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and it was there that she faced huge losses. "I was not well- rounded enough to win the gold medal in the women's singles," Sun said. 

Sun believes that life is always full of ups and downs. "Determination and courage can make a good athlete," she said. "What keeps me going are the goals and dreams I set for myself,"

At the 2023 Singapore Smash, Sun won the women's singles, the women's doubles and the mixed doubles, becoming the first athlete to get three gold medals at the tournament (锦标赛) . Looking at the world ranking website, you can see Sun's name at the top of the women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles. 

When talking about younger table tennis players, Sun encourages them to keep their love and stay focused. "If you truly love table tennis, I hope you can hold on to it," she said. 

 完形填空

I used to have little passion (激情) in my life. But what happened the other day changed my mind. It was then that I learned how1 it is to have a passion in life. 

That day I went home in Mom's car. When Mom2 at a red light,someone on the side of the road caught my eye. It was a man dressed3 rags(破旧衣服). He was homeless. That didn't interest me,4 I had seen many people like him before. Those people usually looked unhappy and hopeless. But this man was5 in some way. He was not sitting down with a6 expression. Instead,he had a7 in his hand and was dancing happily to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious thing he had. "Mom,why does that man have a radio though he's8 ? " I asked

"He9 it," she replied. 

"But why doesn't he use the money to buy food or clothes? He10 something that he didn't need. " "Well,Sarah,sometimes food and clothes aren't the most important. "

That man must care so11 about music that he bought a radio instead of food or clothes. I soon realized that12 is the key to life. 

Since then,I am always thinking of13 is truly important in life. A home,a meal,clothes — these things are only14 of the life. What we often forget is that we all need a joy,a light in a15 day. We all need a passion which gives a person the happiness they need to keep going.
