2021-2022学年湖南省常德市桃源县中路片区四校联考七年级（上）期末英语试卷

第一部分阅读技能（共5小题：每小题8分，满分40分）阅读下面五篇材料，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出最佳选项回答问题或完成句子。

• 1．Many studies have shown the learning-by-teaching effect．Students who spend time teaching what they've learned show better understanding and ability to remember knowledge than students who simply spend the same time re-studying．But why does teaching help？
     Researchers led by Aloysius Wei Lun Koh did a study to test their idea that teaching improves the teacher's learning because it forces the teacher to retrieve （检索）what they've learned．In other words，they believe that bringing to mind what we've learned leads to deeper and longer-lasting acquisition （获得）of that information than spending more time re-studying．
     The researchers asked 124 students to spend ten minutes studying a text with numbers on a topic which is completely new to them．They told the students they could take notes while studying，but would teach the material afterwards without notes．After studying the text，the students were divided into four groups．In one group the students spent five minutes delivering a lesson on the study material without notes．The other groups either spent the same time completing arithmetic （算术）problems，teaching with a script （讲稿）or writing down all they could remember from the text-a form of retrieval practice．A week later，all the students returned to the lab for a surprise test of their knowledge and understanding of the text．
     The important finding is that the teaching-without-notes group and the retrieval-practice group outperformed the group that completed arithmetic problems and the group that taught with a script．In fact，the performance of the teaching-without-notes group and the retrieval-practice group was comparable．
     The researchers said the result shows that the benefits of the learning-by-teaching method are caused by retrieval practice；that is，the learning-by-teaching method works only when the teaching involves retrieving the taught materials．
     The new findings have a practical suggestion for how the learning-by-teaching method is used in education．In order to make sure that students learn and remember an educational material，they should internalize （内化）the material before presenting it to others，rather than depend on notes during the presentation process．
  
  （1）Why did the researchers do the study？

  
  A．To compare different methods of learning．
  B．To test whether teaching can improve learning．
  C．To find out the reason why people like teaching．
  D．To check the reason for learning-by-teaching effect．
  （2）Paragraph 3 is mainly about

  ．
  A．how long the study lasted
  B．who took part in the study
  C．what result the study showed
  D．how the study was performed
  （3）What can we learn from the study？

  
  A．Teaching with a script is the best way of learning．
  B．Teaching benefits learning because of retrieval practice．
  C．Solving arithmetic problems is harder than doing other tasks．
  D．Presenting with notes can help students remember a material．

• 2．When you visit a foreign country，two things are important.You should know how to be polite.
     And you'd better carry a map because it is not easy to understand the directions.
     You should say "Thank you"when someone passes you the food on the table，when someone walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you，and so on."Thank you"is used between friends，and between parents and children."Excuse me"is another short sentence they use.When you hear someone say so behind you，you know that somebody wants to walk past you without touching you.
     It's not polite to break others when they are talking.If you want to speak to one of them，say"Excuse me"first，and then begin talking.
     If you have no maps in a foreign country，it's difficult to ask for directions.
     In the countryside of America，usually there are not many landmarks（地标）.Instead of landmarks，people will tell you like this："Go north two miles.Turn east，and then go another mile".
     In Japan，most streets there don't have names，people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names.For example，"Go straight down to the corner.Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market，the post office is across from the bust stop."
     People in Greece sometimes don't even try to give directions because not many visitors can understand the Greek language.Instead，a Greek will often say，"Come with me.Then he'll lead you there.
     One thing will help you everywhere，you may not understand a person's word，but maybe you can understand his body language.
  
  根据短文内容，判断正（T）误（F）。
  （1）When someone wants to walk past you，he or she should say "I'm sorry"．

  
  （2）There are no landmarks in America at all．

  
  （3）Most of the streets have no names in Japan．

  
  （4）Don't worry about the Greek language，people there are very friendly．

  
  （5）Sometimes we can use body language to understand the directions according to the passage．

• 4．A tree has roots.People have roots，too.If you get to the root of a problem，you will solve jye.ai.It's the same thing with words.Dig deeply into a big，unfamiliar （不熟悉的） word and you will understand where it came from.
     Prefix，Suffix & Root Words
     As readers，especially those reading in a second language，we need to deal with the text as if we were detectives （侦探） looking for information to unlock the unknown.Like any good detective arriving on the crime scene，the first thing to do when meeting a new and difficult word is to judge （判断） the situation，to look at everything that is known and see if it helps us to understand what means.
     As you know，prefixes （前缀） and suffixes （后缀） can be added to the beginning or end of words to change the meaning.Know them，and you will have the word building power.But root words are the key.Take time to learn a few of these，put them in your memory，and you will become a master word detective.
     Let's look at one common root word used in English. "Alter" from the Latin word means "other".When you meet this root word，you know that the bigger word has something to do with "other".Examine the word "alternate".Can you find the Latin root in it？
  

  If you and your friend like to eat out，first you pay and the other pays the next time.You are alternating paying. If you go to the movies on alternate Saturdays，you go on one Saturday，but not the other Saturday. If you have no alternative，you have no other choice.

  Learn as many root words as possible in the language you are studying.Then use your "rooting for words" skills.Like any new skill，practice and hard work are always paid back.
  
  （1）If Jim and Lily go to the movies，which one below is "alternating paying"？

  
  A．They each pay half.
  B．Jim pays every time.
  C．They take turns to pay.
  D．Their parents pay for them.
  （2）How does the writer explain his ideas about root words？

  
  A．By giving a fact.
  B．By taking an example.
  C．By telling a story.
  D．By having a discussion.
  （3）"Sen" from the Latin word means 'old'.Which word uses this Latin root？

  
  A．My brother is my senior by two years.
  B．He was ill so he was absent from school.
  C．A criminal was sentenced to death by law.
  D．60 students were present at the sports meeting.
  （4）Which of the following shows the structure of the passage？

  
  （①=paragraph 1 ②=paragraph 2， …）
  A.B.C.D.

• 5．If you enjoy reading，don't miss Shakespeare and Company when you visit the city of Paris．It is a famous English-language bookstore on the left bank of the river Seine．The first Shakespeare and Company in history was opened in 1919 by an American，Sylvia Beach．Ms．Beach did more than sell books．Her bookstore was also a library，and she even prepared beds for writers visiting there．Ms．Beach was not only kind to people but also good at choosing books，so her bookstore was often visited by writers like Ernest Hemingway and James Joyce．But in 1941，after the Germans took power in Paris，Ms．Beach was told to close her bookstore．
