浙江省苍南县2024-2025学年七年级上学期期中考试英语试卷
Five years ago, on my way home on the bus, every night I always found an old man play his saxophone(萨克斯) near the river. I could see the big smile on his face. The beautiful music made me dream(梦想着) to play the saxophone just like that man.
Two weeks later it was my birthday. I opened my present and found that it was a saxophone! I put it to my mouth to play, but it wouldn't make a sound. I blew(吹) and blew but I couldn't get the saxophone to play. I was about to cry when suddenly the saxophone made a sound. I blew again, I moved my fingers on the saxophone and I made more sounds. Some of them were loud(大声的) and clear but many of them weren't. I was happy because I was playing very interesting sounds. But it wasn't beautiful music.
Then came the lesson. Night after night, week after week I practiced hard on playing. Slowly I started to get better and at last there came the magic day when the beautiful music came out of my saxophone.
Now I'm in the TV studio(电视台) with my saxophone. I'm so happy just like the old man near the river.
Here is some cool information about the world's population.
| It took 12 years for the world's population to grow from 7 billion to 2022's 8 billion. But it will take about 15 years for the population to reach 9 billion. That's because fewer babies are born now. In 50 years,this can slow the growth of the world's population. |
| The day on which the world's population grows by one billion is important. The United Nations chooses a baby born on that day as the symbolic(象征的)baby. For example,the world's population reached 8 billion on November 15, 2022. Vinice Mabansag was born on that day and she became the symbolic 8 billionth baby. |
| More boys than girls are born around the world. There are 106 baby boys born for every 100 baby girls. There are 1. 8 billion people between the ages of 10 and 24. That's the largest number ever(有史以来). |
