江苏省泗阳县实验初级中学2016-2017学年七年级下学期英语竞赛考试试卷

根据短文内容,然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。   

    Napoga is a 12-year-old girl in Ghana(加纳), Africa. It is hard for her family to get clean water. Every morning, she leaves home at half past five to get clean water for her family in a village far away. It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily(日常) cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga. They can't get enough clean water to keep healthy.

    Earth Day is on April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resource(自然资源) on the earth.

    Water covers 70% of the earth's surface(表面). But most of that is sea water. We can't use it for very many things. Fresh water covers only 1% of the earth's surface.

    You probably feel lucky that your life isn't as hard as Napoga's. But that doesn't mean you don't have to worry about water. We all face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers, lakes, and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish, too. Now, 34% of all kinds of fish are dying out.

    How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First, they pollute the air. Then, when it rains, the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain, called acid rain(酸雨), is also bad for plants, animals and buildings.

    Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won't have enough clean water. We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children. Here is some advice for saving water:

●Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. You can save as much as 450 liters(升) each month.

●Leaky taps(漏水的龙头) waste a lot of water. Fix them right away!

●You can easily cut your 10-minute showers(沐浴) in half—and you'll be just as clean.

●When you wash dishes, don't let the water run.

●Only wash clothes when you have a lot to wash. If your washing machine isn't full, you're wasting water!

(1)、Every morning Napoga went to get clean water _______.
A、before she went to school B、after she finished school C、without going to school D、after she played with her friends
(2)、Acid rain _______.
A、is only bad for living things B、can be produced in factories C、doesn't do harm to people, but it's bad for plants, animals and buildings D、doesn't just do harm to human beings but to animals, plants and buildings
(3)、Which of the following wastes(浪费) water?
A、We need ten minutes if we want a clean shower. B、We should put in enough clothes when we wash them in washing machines. C、You can keep yourself clean by having a shower for five minutes. D、Don't let the water run when we brush our teeth and wash dishes.
(4)、What's the main idea of the passage?
A、Something must be done to prevent water from being polluted. B、Clean water means much to human beings and living things around us. C、It's time to take care of the water we use. D、Water is the most important natural resource on the earth.

    A new App has been used in South Africa to benefit (有助于)the relationship between wildlife and humans.

    Roadwatch, created by the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT),is designed to let drivers   record any roadkill they see on the country's highways.

    It may seem like a strange idea, but EWT says that it could become the perfect platform for receiving important information. Information on where endangered species (物种)are living and the danger that they are under from traffic can help to inform decisions on conservation of matters (物质守恒)in the future.

    People can use the App through Facebook, WhatsApp, SMS and Linkedin to report the   species, location, time and date of the creature that has been seen on the road.

    Wendy Collinson field officer at EWT suggested that it could lead to more people taking care on the roads and paying more attention to animals that may be trying to cross the roads. One of the biggest problems is with reptiles (爬行动物)and snakes, which she believes people hit on purpose, as they are generally seen as scary. However, they are important to the health of ecosystems, just as all creatures are and also need to be protected.

    Emily Taylor from EWT said, “Roadkill simply hasn't been studied here. The road ecology and how many endangered species are being killed, is something we need to know more about. We want people to report as much as possible.”

    There have been some other Apps to use in relation to wildlife spotting in South Africa, but most of them are about animals that have not been knocked down, including those helping to collect information of where certain species have been seen, such as in parks.

Recently, a woman shared on the Internet that she had a birthday dinner not long ago. Before booking a table at a restaurant, she sent out a message to her friends and asked them to make an RSVP. On her birthday, the woman and her guests were very happy. However, a man who didn't make the RSVP arrived. Unluckily, there was no seat or meal for him. The man got angry and said the woman was a bad friend. She felt sad.

Many people commented on the story. Most of them said the woman did nothing wrong. The friend should have made an RSVP. So, what is an RSVP? Why is it important?

RSVP is short for the French word"répondez s'il vous plait", which means" please re- ply". RSVPing to an event like a birthday party is important. It can help the host know how many people will come to the event and so he or she can make a successful plan for it. The host needs to buy food and drinks, or sometimes spend money booking a nice place. It must take the host a lot of time and hard work to plan the event. So, making an RSVP can be very helpful.

If you get an invitation asking for an RSVP, please tell your host if you can go to the e- vent or not as soon as possible. It takes your host some time to invite you. You should also spend some time replying.

The Qingming Festival, which usually falls between April 4 and 6 each year, on the 108th day after the Winter Solstice e (冬至), is one of the 24 seasonal division points in the traditional Chinese calendar.

Qingming, strictly meaning "pure and bright", shows rising temperatures and increased rainfall at the start of spring. It always rains around Qingming, providing a typical scene for the festival. Some 1,200 years ago, a Chinese poem written by the great Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu illustrated (描述) a scene of Qingming:

A drizzlingrain falls like tears on the Mourning Day

The mourner's heart is going to break on his way.

Where can a wineshop be found to drown his sad hours?

A cowherd points to a cot'mid apricot flowers.

The Qingming Festival in spring is the occasion for visiting ancestral graves(坟墓).Qing Ming is popularly connected with Jie Zitui, who lived in Shanxi province in 600B. C. To mark Jie, the lord Chong Er ordered all fires in every home to be put out on the anniversary of Jie's death. Thus began the "cold food feast", a day when no food could be cooked since no fire could be lit. The "cold food" festival falls on the eve of Qing Ming and is often considered as part of the QingMing Festival. As time passed, the Qing Ming Festival replaced the "cold food" festival. No matter what changes there are, one thing that will never change of Qing Ming is to remember one's elders by making a special effort to visit their graves, ashes or ancestral tablets.

Seeing blood in a horror movie might make you cover your eyes,but real blood isn't scary at all. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} That's why blood donors are considered lifesavers. 

Blood donors are those giving blood﹣usually about 200 ml at a time﹣to blood banks or blood donation(捐赠)centers. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}For example,someone may have lost blood in accidents,or have a serious illness that requires his blood to be replaced. Hospitals and blood banks store the blood and try to keep enough on hand. 

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}Medical workers ask donors several questions to make sure the blood is safe to use. Then the donors relax,often reading a magazine or talking as their blood is drawn. Afterward,the donors may receive some juice or water and maybe fruit to give them energy. The process is simple,not scary. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. 

To give blood,a person must be at least 18 years old and must meet certain other requirements. Students of all ages,though,can learn more about the donation process by visiting a local blood donation center. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}It is also an easy way to help a community. 

A. Donating blood is not difficult. 

B. Then the blood can be used for people in need. 

C. In fact,blood is the gift of life and keeps us alive. 

D. Donating blood is not only one of the easiest ways to save lives. 

E. Most people are able to donate blood again in several months if they wish.
