interest in it soon turned out to be a force for good.

motor skills and physical health 18 , and his skills in the
sport developed. At his first BJJ competition, he won a bronze
medal (铜牌).
“Sport has helped me, and I like helping people through
sport because it can make shy people really 19 and confident,” Hussein told LiveWire, a local
community organization.
After winning several more medals, Hussein started 20 others in his school to join BJJ.
His efforts paid off. He got a part-time job at a local gym and began to teach other students. He also
21 a TikTok account to encourage other students around the world with 22 needs to take
part in sports.
For his efforts, he won the 2022 Rotary Young Citizen Sporting Hero Award.
In an interview with local newspaper the Warrington Guardian, Hussein expressed his happiness

This book says our world is in danger. It describes the various threats
to the environment. The situation is so serious that we must do something
to save the Earth.
The writers ask us to imagine that the Earth is inside a kind of
greenhouse with the atmosphere (大气层) around it. The atmosphere acts
like the glass: It lets sunlight in and keeps warmth from getting out. The
atmosphere is essential for all living things. Without it, the Earth would be
as cold and lifeless as the surface of the moon.
The trouble is that our atmosphere is changing because we are
polluting it with chemicals-in the form of gases-and it is keeping in too
much heat!
These gases, mainly carbon dioxide (CO2) are produced by burning fuels such as petrol. The
greenhouse effect may cause the level of the sea to rise and flood cities and even whole countries.
The burning and cutting down of the forests is making the greenhouse effect worse because trees take
in CO2. It also causes soil erosion and flooding, as well as destroying the homes of people and animals that
live in the forests.
Many of our habits cause pollution, especially our habit of using things once and then throwing them
away. This creates massive mountains of rubbish. We do not know what to do with the rubbish and it
初三英语期中考试试卷 第 6页 共 10 页
pollutes our land and sea. For example, people throw away as many as seven billion drink cans in Britain
each year. That is enough to reach from the Earth to the moon.
The book is asking us to become green consumers . That means we should only buy and use
environmentally friendly goods so that we can save the Earth. These goods will not damage the
environment.
Let’s be green consumers and enjoy living a better life on the Earth!
34. What does the underline word “essential” mean in the passage
A. of great harm B. of no harm
C. of great importance D. of no importance
35. What is the correct order of the blanks “ in the passage
① How can we save the Earth
② Bad habits
③ The greenhouse effect
④ Destroying the forest
A. ①②③④ B. ②④③① C. ③④①② D. ③④②①
36. What may be the purpose of writing the passage
A. To recommend a book about living a better life.
B. To recommend a book about developing habits.
C. To recommend a book about pollution on the Earth.
D. To recommend a book about becoming green consumers.
37. How does the writer develop his ideas

This book says our world is in danger. It describes the various threats to the environment. The situation is so serious that we must do something to save the Earth.
The writers ask us to imagine that the Earth is inside a kind of greenhouse with the atmosphere (大气层) around it. The atmosphere acts like the glass: It lets sunlight in and keeps warmth from getting out. The atmosphere is essential for all living things. Without it, the Earth would be as cold and lifeless as the surface of the moon.
The trouble is that our atmosphere is changing because we are polluting it with chemicals-in the form of gases-and it is keeping in too much heat!
These gases, mainly carbon dioxide (CO2) are produced by burning fuels such as petrol. The greenhouse effect may cause the level of the sea to rise and flood cities and even whole countries.
The burning and cutting down of the forests is making the greenhouse effect worse because trees take in CO2. It also causes soil erosion and flooding, as well as destroying the homes of people and animals that live in the forests.
Many of our habits cause pollution, especially our habit of using things once and then throwing them away. This creates massive mountains of rubbish. We do not know what to do with the rubbish and it pollutes our land and sea. For example, people throw away as many as seven billion drink cans in Britain each year. That is enough to reach from the Earth to the moon.
The book is asking us to become green consumers . That means we should only buy and use environmentally friendly goods so that we can save the Earth. These goods will not damage the environment.
Let’s be green consumers and enjoy living a better life on the Earth!
34. What does the underline word “essential” mean in the passage
A. of great harm B. of no harm
C. of great importance D. of no importance
35. What is the correct order of the blanks “ in the passage
① How can we save the Earth
② Bad habits
③ The greenhouse effect
④ Destroying the forest
A. ①②③④ B. ②④③① C. ③④①② D. ③④②①
36. What may be the purpose of writing the passage
A. To recommend a book about living a better life.
B. To recommend a book about developing habits.
C. To recommend a book about pollution on the Earth.
D. To recommend a book about becoming green consumers.

China has a history of more than 5,000 years and we are so proud of the profound（源远流长
的）culture. There are so many cultural symbolic elements（象征元素）that can represent the
richness of Chinese traditional culture.
I like the Mid-Autumn Festival which falls on a day in September or October when the moon
looks the brightest in the year. On that day, my family usually enjoy a big dinner. We also eat
mooncakes while enjoying the full moon. The round mooncakes and the full moon are symbols of
being together. What a special day!
To spread Chinese traditional culture, I think it’s a good idea to put posters up in the school
so that students can learn a lot from them. Anyway, no culture, no mankind. The traditional culture
lies in life, forever continuing. (100 words)2023年春学期期中考试试卷答案
