重庆市巴蜀中学初2021届二下英语月考考试试题(Word版 无答案)

In order to test the idea, the scientists did an experiment ( 实验) on plants.They grew a number of plants to the age of four weeks. Then they touched them with a brush every 12 hours over a 36-hour period. They found that as a result of the touch, the mitochondria ( 线粒体) in the plants were partly broken. The mitochondria are the “power-house” of the cells (细胞). The mitochondria produce energy for the cells in both animals and plants. If this “power-house” is broken, the plants will lose lots of energy. The energy is very important for their growth. Whelan further explained, “If the touching is repeated, then the plant growth is slowed by 30 percent.”

Although the touching does have a strong influence (影响) on plants, usually the plants can still be alive. Continually touching or moving plants will make them grow shorter than other ones. However, in some ways, this change could be helpful. It may help plants to fight against threats from animals or bad weather.

The findings of the research ( 研究) help us to have a better understanding of the plants. And the research might help with the growth of plants. 38. The writer wrote this article in order to . A. stop people from touching plants C. introduce (介绍) a scientist to us

Sophie, a 14-year-old British girl, suddenly changed a lot in class. She lost her interest in study and often sat at her desk with her head down.

Ethan Miller, one of Sophie’s teachers, found the reason: she was bullied ( 欺凌) online. Sophie received impolite messages on her phone and on Facebook. Miller shared Sophie’s story on the website of The Children’s Society, a children’s group in the United Kingdom.

Sophie was not alone. Not long ago, Korean top star, Chui Se-ri killed herself after years of being bullied online. According to a report in September, one in three young people, in 30 countries, said they were ever bullied online. Twenty percent of those bullied students chose not to go to school because of it. The study surveyed (调查) more than 170,000 young people aged 13-24 from countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. Most of them said social media, like Facebook and Twitter, are the most common places for online bullying.

At the same time, online bullying could have serious results for young people. If they are bullied

online, they may not want to ask the people around them for help. Instead, they just keep the bad feelings to themselves. That may be the reason why they choose to hurt themselves or even kill themselves.

To work out the problem, national help and public support are badly needed. The government ( 政 府 ) and schools should pay enough attention ( 注 意 ) to this problem. At the same time, training for teachers and parents to stop online bullying is also necessary.

Meanwhile (与此同时), here is some advice to keep yourself safe on the Internet. First, make sure that you show enough respect (尊重) to others, although you don’t have similar ideas, values or beliefs. Second, if you experience online bullying, the best response (反应) to a bully is no response at all. Last but not least, keep a record of anything if it shows proof (证据) of online bullying, like screenshot (截 屏). You can use this to report and stop them.

42. The writer led in (引入) the topic of the article A. by listing some numbers

B. by telling Sophie’s story

C. by sharing his ideas D. by reporting the latest news 43. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?

A. Facebook and Twitter are the most common places for online bullying. B. Online bullying is troubling a large number of young people these days. C. The government has already made some rules to stop online bullying.

D. If the public (公众) don’t pay enough attention, this problem may become worse. 44. If someone sends impolite messages to you online, which of the following is the best?

a. call the police b. make a response c. keep e record d. send impolite messages back A. a,b B. b,c C. c,d D. a,c 45. If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best? ( ① = Para. 1 ② Para. 2 ③ Para. 3 ④ Para. 4 ⑤ Para. 5 A. ①, ②③④, ⑤⑥ C. ①②, ③④, ⑤⑥

B. ①, ②③④⑤, ⑥ D. ①②, ③④⑤, ⑥
