江苏省张家港市2018-2019学年七年级下学期英语期末试卷

请认真阅读下面短文,用英语回答短文后的问题。

    Pasta(意大利面)is one of the most popular foods in the world. People love pasta because it is cheap, quick and easy to make. You can eat pasta on its own with cheese, or with sauce. Pasta comes in so many different shapes and sizes. There are at least 200 different types of pasta.

    One of the reasons there are so many types of pasta is that each part of Italy has its own pasta. Pasta has been an important part of Italians' diet since the 13th century. It started as a food for the rich. But by the 17th century, all Italians enjoyed pasta. This is when the first pasta machines were invented. As pasta became easier to make, it became cheaper to buy. Pasta is still an important part of the Italian diet. But now it is an important part of many other people's diet too.

    Many people buy pasta, but it's easy to make. You only need flour, salt and eggs. It takes some time to mix the pasta dough together. Then you can choose which type of pasta shape to make. A pasta machine is very useful for this, but you can also cut the pasta by hand.

(1)、Why is pasta so popular in the world?
(2)、How many types of pasta are there in the world?
(3)、Will you make pasta by yourself? Why or why not?
举一反三
阅读下面的短文,并完成短文后的任务。
Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably also sing or whistle when you are happy.
Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.
Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims(宣称)as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species(物种)are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. (1) If a stranger should enter your territory and want to hurt you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.
If so, you have actually frightened the stranger away without having to fight him. (2)一只鸟也将会做同样的事. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting (筑巢)season. So he is screaming(尖叫)all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird's song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.
Birds sing loudest in spring when they are trying to attract a mate(同伴)and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.
You can see that birds have a language of their own. Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.
