中英语试卷精选汇编

Do you ever wish you were as thin as a model(模特) or as strong as your favourite football player? Maybe you wish you were taller or just thinner a little. Those thoughts are a natural part of growing up.

But learning what you can and can't change about your body is part of growing up, too. It can be hard to do. But when people accept the way they look, they often feel happier.

Some children worry that they're not growing and developing as fast as their friends. It's important to know that puberty(青春期) doesn't happen at the same time for every child. And there are no special medicines that can make it happen sooner!

Eating healthy foods and exercising more can make all children feel better. Why?

Because they will help you feel energetic(精力充沛的) and keep your body working just the way it should be.

Watching TV and playing computer games can be fun, but they don't do much for your body because you sit when you do them.

But when you move your body—by playing, dancing, taking part in sports, or even cleaning your room—you exercise your muscles(肌肉). When you exercise the muscle, it gets stronger. And when you have strong muscles, you can do whatever you want to do! 79. When do people often feel happier about their bodies according to the passage?

______________________________________________________________________________. 80. What do some children worry about in the third paragraph?

______________________________________________________________________________. 81. Why are watching TV and playing computers bad for your body ?

______________________________________________________________________________. 82. How does your muscle become when you exercise it?

______________________________________________________________________________. 83. How can you keep healthy at the age of puberty?

2.They worry that they're not growing and developing as fast as their friends./ They're not growing and developing as fast as their friends. 3.Because you sit when you do them. 4.Stronger.

Going to a British school for one year and a half was a good and exciting thing for me. A British school starts at 9 a. m. and ends about 3 :30 p. m. It means I could stay in bed for an extra hour.

On the first day, all the new students had a meeting. The headmaster told us about the school rules. He also told us that the best way to get respect (尊重) was to study hard and get high grades. This sounded like my school in China.

We had to move to different classrooms for different classes. We also had different students in some classes, so it was difficult for me to remember all the faces and names.

I found that the homework was not as much as what I used to get in my old school. Yet it was

As the Internet is developing fast, more and more new words and phrases have been created in Chinese. Here are some examples.

One of the most popular words is Dianzan, which is often used when you quite agree with someone. Another example is Renxing. When you say somebody is Renxing, you mean that they will do whatever they like. The phrase Miaosha first came from online shopping, which means you can complete your shopping orders before others. But now it’s widely used when you achieve your purpose in a very short time. If you describe somebody as a Tuhao, you mean that he or she is very rich.
