题目①
I am writing to tell you something about the farming experience course. We are going to
Beijing University of Agriculture next week to take a farming experience course. We are
leaving this Sunday and coming back next Friday.
During next week, we will learn to cook a couple of Chinese dishes and it will be fun to
cook together. You can learn and cook some Chinese dishes for your family when you go back
to America. Then some teachers from the university will teach us how to plant flowers. Also,
there will be lessons about how to make Chinese tea. How interesting!
It will be a little cold next week, so you’d better take some warm clothes. And don’t forget
to take your camera so that you can share your memories with your friends.
I’m looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

题目②
As we all know, doing exercise is good for our health. I joined in a school sports meeting
at the beginning of this term. There were many activities that we could do, such as running,
relay racing and so on. All the students and teachers took part in all kinds of sports
competitions.
I joined in the boy's 100-meter relay race of Grade 9 with the other three boys from our

also because we enjoy doing sports, which helped us to be stronger and healthier.

Misadventure in English
Last week, our forum (论坛) asked if you had any funny or strange stories about using
English. Here are some of our favourite posts.
Sophie
When I first visited New York, I went to a shopping centre. I asked a lady where
the shoes were. She said they were on the first floor. I went upstairs. But I
couldn’t find any. I thought she gave me the wrong information. Then, I realized
that the first floor was the ground floor.
128
Yancy
I went to a summer school in Manchester. One day, the head master told us that
our English teacher Maggie couldn’t teach that day because she had a frog in her
throat. Why did she eat a frog? Then I learned that it means someone’s throat is
dry or blocked. How funny!
135
Julien
My British penfriend once told me that his grandfather was “wicked (邪恶的)”.
But when I met his grandfather, I liked him a lot. I found it very strange. Why did
my friend use a bad word about such a nice man? Guess what? When speaking
informally, “wicked” means “very nice”.
70
Zheng Xu
I was part of a student exchange programme between a school in England and one
in China. I knew I had done a good job writing my first English paper. But my
teacher gave me “Not bad!” Not bad? There weren’t any mistakes! Actually,
British people use “not bad” when things are pretty good! I got a good comment!

Dog’s Best Friend
Jarrett Little was road testing his mountain bike outside of Columbus, Georgia, when his
riding partner, Chris Dixon, stopped suddenly. Something nearby moving among the trees had
caught her attention. It turned out to be a sandy-colored five-month-old dog.
“He was really thin, and had a broken leg,” Little told CBS News. The cyclists fed the
friendly dog and shared their water. They also quickly realized that the dog was coming with
them, although they had no idea how. They were more than seven miles from downtown and
riding bikes. “We couldn’t leave him,” Little said. “Out there next to the Oxbow Meadows, he
was going to end up as alligator (短吻鳄) food.”
Little, a 31-year-old business owner, had an idea. He carefully picked up his new friend
and put the 38-pound dog’s back legs into the pockets of his cycling shirt. Then he placed the
dog’s front legs over his shoulders.
“He was hurt, so he wasn’t trying to fight,” Little says. “He was also happy that we were
there, touching him, and hadn’t taken off on him.”
Their 30-minute ride into town ended at a bike store, where they got more water and food
for the dog. “That was when Andrea Shaw, a company worker, happened by. The dog went
straight to her, smelling and “loving on her,” says Dixon. Shaw was touched and, after learning
what had happened, decided to keep the dog.
初三英语试卷 第 5 页（共 10 页）
Shaw called him Columbo after the town where they’d met and planned an operation on
his leg. Today, Columbo is living the high life on a farm with a horse and a six-year-old boy to
keep him company. As Dixon said, “He is really the luckiest dog alive.”
24. Why did Dixon stop suddenly during the road testing?
A. She noticed something moving among the trees.
B. She had cycled seven miles and wanted to rest.
C. She met some other riding partners by chance.
D. She wanted to share some water with Little.
25. What can we learn about the dog?
A. He is unfriendly to people.
B. He is kept happily on a farm.
C. He weighed about 31 pounds.
D. He ended up as alligator food.
26. According to the passage, the dog’s best friend is ______.
A. the alligator B. the human C. the horse D. CBS News
C
Have you ever wanted to sing on stage with Taylor Swift, or go
to Mars? With the rise of virtual reality (虚拟现实), you might be
able to do these things without even leaving your home. Unlike real
reality, virtual reality means completely imaginary worlds, using
high-performance computers and special glasses and gloves.
Virtual Reality (VR) has been with us for many years – at
least as an idea. Although it’s hard to tell the father of this amazing technology, history suggests
that it could have been the fruit of not one but five key people. First, Morton Heilig introduced
users to 3D films. Then, there’s Jaron Lanier, the first person to use the term “Visual Reality”.
Douglas Engelbart invented the computer mouse. Ivan Sutherland is the inventor of the first
HMD and Myron Krueger, the audio wiz. Thanks to these inventors, the technology has now
come of age. Users can virtually experience things they could only dream of. Virtual reality is
an example of VR technology
初三英语试卷 第 6 页（共 10 页）
changing the way we communicate experiences in the same way the Internet has changed the
way we communicate information.
Indeed, VR has become a worldwide reality, with different types of applications (应用)
from computer games to medicine, engineering, scientific research, and so on. For example,
medical learners are able to train through VR in order to deal with all kinds of injuries.
Designers can check every corner of their buildings and make preparations. And if you are
heading to Mars, a trip in virtual reality can help you “see” what you will find before you get
there.
One recent example was a doctor who practiced an operation on a little baby’s heart. This
enabled him to plan out his surgery ahead of time, and helped to save the baby.
VR will make the world even smaller than it is now. It’s definitely going to bring us closer
together.
Like any technology, however, virtual reality has its negative effects. The first big danger
is disconnection from the real world. Apart from this, too much use of VR equipment can
create obvious physical and even mental (精神的) dangers. Loss of one’s sense of direction and
position, sea sickness and headaches are among the signs of illness some experience after using
virtual-reality equipment for long periods.
This is an ongoing topic that people are arguing about.
27. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ______.
A. VR is the result of a series of inventions and ideas
B. VR is changing the way we communicate information
C. it has taken many years to come up with the idea of VR
D. it is likely to discover what people dream about with VR
28. According to the passage, VR can be used to ______.
A. connect with real reality well
B. observe other planets in space
C. help doctors practice operations
D. build houses without preparations
初三英语试卷 第 7 页（共 10 页）
29. The writer probably agrees that ______.
A. VR is a door to the real world
B. VR is like a coin with two sides
C. VR is responsible for increasing mental problems
D. it is easier to communicate information through VR
30. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. To keep it or to lose it?
B. How can you imagine?
C. Have you ever wanted?
D. To agree or to disagree?
D
Most of us fear failure. However, without failure, progress would be impossible. In fact,
the word success comes from the Latin succedere, meaning “to come after.” And what does
success usually come after? Failure. It seems that one cannot exist without the other.
Every failure – even the worst ones – helps us learn to do things differently in the future.
“Learning from the past mistakes and making changes helped me to reach the top of Everest
successfully,” says mountaineer Pete Athans, who has now reached the world’s highest peak
(山峰) seven times.
Failure also reminds us that things can go wrong – sometimes with terrible results.
Austrian Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner is the first woman to reach the top of all 14 of the world’s
8,000-meter peaks without extra oxygen (氧气). In 2007, while climbing in Nepal, she was in
an avalanche (雪崩). She survived, but two nearby Spanish climbers died. The experience
taught Kaltenbrunner that no matter how prepared a person is, bad things can still happen. But
Kaltenbrunner decided she had to learn from her experience and move on.
Accepting failure is not easy for many, though. We are often reluctant to tell people that
we are failures because our good name depends on success. However, things are slowly
changing. In the past ten years, some scientific magazines – mostly in medicine – have
published reports of failed experiments. The belief is that the science community can also learn
from “negative” results and that this can finally lead to positive outcomes.
初三英语试卷 第 8 页（共 10 页）
The business world already understands the value of negative results. Eli Lilly and
Company has failure parties to study data about medicine that doesn’t work.
In fact, one of the business world’s most famous failures became one of its biggest
successes. In the early 1990s, Apple Corporation created the Apple Newton. It was one of
Apple’s biggest failures. However, Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs, believed the product had potential
(潜力) and he began to improve it. In time, this led to the creation of the iPhone and the iPad,
two of the company’s most successful products.
The story of the Apple Newton can teach us another important lesson about failure. There
is a lot we can learn by studying mistakes. Perhaps the most important lesson is that failure and
success are two sides of the same coin. One truly cannot exist without the other.
31. The writer writes Paragraph 2 and 3 mainly to ______.
A. show how bad things can become important lessons
B. tell us that it’s possible for anyone to be successful
C. prove how bad things can happen in any situation
D. teach us what not to do when climbing mountains
32. The underlined word “reluctant” in Paragraph 4 probably means “______”.
A. unable B. unsure C. unwilling D. uninterested
33. What is the passage mainly about?
A. An attitude towards failure.
B. The experience of success.
C. A difficult way to success.
D. The rewards of failure.

Chinese Fancy Knot
Chinese fancy knots, also called Chinese knots, refer to the traditional
decorative knots in Chinese culture. They began as a form of traditional art
in the Tang and Song Dynasties in China, and became popular in the Ming
Dynasty. Long ago, they found their way to Japan and other Southeast
Asian countries, and were well received there. Now they are taken as one of the most
Chinese Fancy Knots
初三英语试卷 第 9 页（共 10 页）
classic symbols (标志) of Chinese culture.
As for the name itself, it is surely meaningful. The Chinese word for “knot”, jie, means
“connection”. It is related to lots of cultural ideas – marriage, brotherhood, reunion, etc.
Meanwhile, the pronunciation of the Chinese word jie is very close to that of ji, “good luck”.
As a result, Chinese knots perfectly serve as a way to express people’s strong wishes for good
things like joy, love and good luck.
Besides, the knots, widely existing in the everyday life of the Chinese culture, come in
different sizes. Small ones are connected to jewellery (珠宝), clothes, gift-packages and
furniture in order to attract people’s attention, while large ones are used to decorate a living
room or study. Whether large or small, there are over a dozen basic knot patterns (图案),
named according to their shapes, usages or origins. For example, Double Coin Knots are called
shuangqian Jie because they are in the shape of two ancient Chinese coins, meaning “good
things come in pairs”. However, almost all the main styles of Chinese fancy knots are made up
of two exactly similar parts, and the patterns on the front and the back sides are also similar in
every detail.
In addition, Chinese knots are famous for their bright colours. Each of the Chinese knots
is made of a single string of cotton, silk, gold or silver. But the colours of the strings are rich
and have different traditional cultural meanings. Among the most commonly used base colours,
red means good luck and happiness, green means health, and yellow, which was once known as
a emperor’s colour, may means wealth and honour.
In brief, the famous Chinese fancy knots fully reflect (反映) the depth of Chinese culture.
These brightly coloured knots of different patterns, with their endless chains of knots, mean
that life on earth will continue forever.
34. When did Chinese fancy knots become popular?
35. What does the Chinese character for “knot” mean?
36. Why do people express strong wishes with Chinese knots?
37. What are the main points about Chinese knots in Paragraph 3?
38. What do Chinese fancy knots fully reflect?
