初中英语阅读表达试题

It is well known that everyone has his own dream as well as his own future. But do you know what future really is? I have to say that future is now. That is to say we must treasure every minute now. If we want to have a bright future, we should know how important time is and use it well.
There is an old English saying: “Gain time, gain life.” Then what’s time? Time is something that we can’t see or touch, but we can feel it passing by. Time is always with us. When we are at table, time passes; when we play, time goes by unnoticeable. We always say “Time is money”, but time is even more precious(珍贵的)than money, because when money is spent , we can earn it back. But if time is gone away, it will never return. So, some of us even say time is priceless(无价的).
We should always remember: future is now. For us students, we should try our best to work hard in order to create a great future of our own. We should make the best use of every hour and be the master of today. We should do everything before us as well as possible. And never put off what can be done today till tomorrow.
As we all know, “Time and tide wait for no man.” If you waste today, you will regret tomorrow. So from now on, work hard. Tomorrow will be better, and your future will be brighter. Remember: “No pains, no gains.” Today’s hard work is the cause of tomorrow’s harvest.

Yue Lin used to leave the dormitory (宿舍)door wide open, especially as summer was coming. But now he has to keep reminding himself and his roommates to close the door. He has every reason to be. According to a local newspaper, in most school criminal cases, 80 percent are thefts. Dormitory safety becomes even serious on the graduation season. Students had better be careful with dormitory safety.
Room theft
According to the police, room theft has risen in the last two months. In March alone, many computers and cameras were stolen at Hainan University. Many students often leave their laptop(手提) on the desk ,chatting with friends in another room or going outside to buy some snacks. They don’t recognize the risk of living a “careless” life in their dormitory. They live in the dormitory as they live at home. They don’t see any danger. But from now on they should be careful.
Fire
Compared to other danger, a fire which may make students lose their lives are more serious. Recently, Yin Jiachen, 20, a student at the Beijing Institute of Technology, returned to her dormitory to smell burning plastic in the room. Luckily, she quickly found something burning. “If I had come back only a bit later, the room could have been ______ ________.” says Yin. Preventing fires has been the top safety in dormitories for years, but it’s still the biggest problem. Students aren’t allowed to use heaters and similar dangerous things in the dormitory. Besides, many schools start to provide air conditioners and heaters for students so that students don’t need to buy those that raise a safety risk.

In 1920, a nine-year-old American boy broke his neighbor’s window when he was playing soccer. His neighbor asked him to pay $12.5. At that time, $12.5 was a large number of money, and it could buy 125 chickens.
The little boy had to tell his father about it, and said sorry to his father. His father let him take responsibility (责任) for his own mistake. “I know I made a mistake, but I don’t have so much money,” the little boy said.
“Well, I can lend you some money, but you must give it back to me in a year,” said the father. Then he gave the little boy $12.5.
Since then, the little boy started doing hard work, like sending newspapers, doing the cleaning for his family, cleaning the car, etc. He had to get up early in the morning and go to bed late at night. Sometimes he even worked day and night. Six months later, he earned (赚) $12.5 and returned it to his father.
The boy was Ronald Reagan. He became a president of the United State later. Ronald Reagan said taking responsibility for his own mistake by doing hard work made him know what the responsibility was.

Ethiopian children are crazy about football but few of them have footballs of their own. They have to play with a paper football.
Like all children, they find time to play but they also have to do a lot of work. Some children have to help their parents look after younger brothers or sisters from the age of five. Many young boys have to look after animals and the girls have to help their mothers carry water.
At present only one third of small children go to primary school because there are so many children and so few schools. The classes have to be very large. In one school I went to there were 90 children in a class!
Traditionally the Ethiopians do not eat many vegetables. This is very bad for children, so many schools have their own garden where youngsters can grow their own vegetables.
There is no public transport, so children have to walk to school. One child I spoke to had to walk for even six hours! Many walk for two or three hours. But the Ethiopians love going to school because they know how important education is.
The Ethiopian government wants more children to go to school, and organizations like UNICEF are helping them. Many of the children want to be doctors and they will have to work hard but they know that they are Ethiopia’s hope for the future.

第一节翻译语篇阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。
Sometimes you feel busy and worried.
你可能有许多事情要做，时间却不够。You may wonder, “ Where does time go?” Here are some ideas to help you make use of it and find more free time to enjoy your life.
Plan ahead of time.
It’s necessary for you to make a plan at the beginning of a week or a day. Think of what you really need and don’t need to do. Spare（匀出）some time to have a short rest and look back on what you’ve done. You may have a sense of success.
Say no to yourself. If you are not excited about attending（出席）a social activity, then don’t go.
.呆在家里休息。If you plan to go to a supermarket but it is raining heavily, why not stay inside? It’s fine to change your mind and do your shopping another day.
Change your pace（节奏). If you usually go shopping on Saturday, choose a weekday night to go instead.
The stores are less crowded on Wednesday evening than Saturday afternoon. You can feel better if you regard your way home as taking a relaxing walk after supper.
Focus on（关注）simple pleasures.
When your day’s work is done, it’s time to get yourself relaxed. A pleasant bath, a cup of coffee or a gentle song can be enough. Although expensive relaxation is nice, when you focus on simple pleasures, you’ll get more.

What is the strongest part of your body? Your head? Bones? It’s your teeth! There is a special thing called enamel (牙釉质) in teeth. It is the hardest thing in the human body and keeps bacteria (细菌) away. However, teeth are vulnerable (易受伤害的) to problems and disease. September 20 is National Teeth-loving Day in China. Let’s pay attention to the health of our teeth.
Teeth problems are common around the world. Most children and young adults have tooth decay (龋齿). A study published on China Health Monthly magazine this year showed that 40.74 percent of a sample (抽样) of 1,306 Chinese students under age 15 had decayed teeth.
(1)Food that is rich in sugar increases the risk of tooth decay. After you eat, bacteria go crazy over the sugar on your teeth, like ants at a picnic. The bacteria turn sugar into acids (酸) that eat away at tooth enamel. This cause holes in your teeth.
Another ______ ______(2) is crooked teeth (龅牙). When your new teeth begin to grow and the old teeth haven’t fallen out, there isn’t enough space for the new ones. This causes crooked teeth.
Don’t worry. Here are some ways to keep your teeth healthy.
Brush at least twice a day – in the morning and before bedtime.
Learn to use dental floss (牙线). The floss gets rid of food that’s hidden where your toothbrush can’t get it.
Visit a dentist. He or she can check if you have any dental problems and help you clean your teeth.
Pay attention to what you eat. It is better to eat lots of fruits and vegetables instead of fries and drink water instead of soda.
Wear braces (牙套): it can make your teeth straight and beautiful.

We always write them down in our notebooks. In class, we sit in groups to discuss the problems freely. The teacher always gives help when we need. After discussion, it's time for us to give a report to the class. We also make conversations in pairs and practice a lot. It's really good for our listening and speaking.After class, we have less homework now so we can go to the library to read English books, magazines and newspapers.
