Among a row of village houses with gray walls and wooden doors, a two-story building stands out not just for its height but also for the words hanging at the entrance:“Jiahe Museum". The museum was founded by Wang Jijia, a 53-year-old farmer in Northwest China's Gansu Province.
Wang exhibits old items he has collected over the past 30 years in his museum
that he established on the second floor of his house.“As a farmer, I am full of emotions about what happens on the land," he said.
When he was in high school, Wang was fascinated by what he found at home—a
pile of documents and certificates featuring the lifestyle of the older generations.“Looking at those yellowish papers from the old age, I can't help wondering the stories behind," he said.
That's how Wang's interest in collectibles began. Since then, he devoted all his
spare time to wandering around salvage stations, bookstalls, and neighborhoods to collect old stuff, such as books, certificates, old farm tools and other items of daily use.
In 2017, inspired by an exhibition in the province, he had the idea of establishing
a museum displaying his collections. He borrowed money from the bank and used his knowledge from visiting various public museums across the country to design his own museum.
In two years, Wang built the museum that covers about 500 square meters with
over 20,000 exhibits, ranging from items as old as several thousand years to new objects from his parents' generation.
"Older people are nostalgic, and some of them have experienced ups and downs
that were totally different from today. I hope to offer them a chance to recall those past days,"Wang said. In his museum, he expects the older generation can recall the
英语期中试题（共12页） 第 4 页
unforgettable days while youths can be aware of the changes brought by their parents, including their sacrifices.
Since its opening in September 2019, the museum has received more than 16,000
visitors, including culture lovers, elderly villagers, and museum colleagues.
24.What do we know about"Jiahe Museum"
A.It is a public museum. B.It is a private museum.
C.It is an art museum. D.It is a science museum.
25.What inspired Wang Jijia to collect old items
A.A pile of old papers. B.A set of ancient farm tools.
C.A visit to a museum. D.A group of yellowish photos.
26.When Wang started to build his museum, he_______
A.got support from his friend B. was made fun of by villagers
C.didn't have enough money D. was discouraged by his wife
27.What does the underlined word"nostalgic"in Paragraph7mean
A.Listening to people attentively. B.Talking endlessly to other people.
C.Forgetting what has happened easily. D.Thinking affectionately about the past.

You can‘t always predict a heavy rain or remember to take your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.
The designer says he comes up with the idea after watching people get wet on
streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be all right to have a canopy(伞蓬) built into a street lamp.” he said.
The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy.
It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella in need. Sensors
then ensure that the umbrella offers the pedestrians(行人) shelter whenever it starts
raining.
In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360° motion sensor on the street lamp which detects whether anyone’s using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not
being used the canopy is closed.
英语期中试题（共12页） 第 5 页
According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough protection for
several people. Being installed(安装）at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a
danger for the tallest of pedestrians .
While there are no plans to take Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be fixed on my street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies . 28.For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella
A．To predict a heavy rain. B．To check the weather forecast.
C．To protect people from the rain. D．To remind people to take an umbrella.
29.What do we know from Belyaev’s words in Paragraph 2
A．His creation was inspired by an experience.
B．It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.
C．Street lamps are protected by canopies.
D．He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.
30.What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella
A．Its moving speed. B．Its appearance. C．Its installation. D．Its safety.
31.What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．The designer will open a company to promote his product.
B．The Lampbrella could be put into immediate production.
C．The designer is confident that his creation is practical.
D．The Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.
D
A psychologist at Stanford once did an experiment. He divided some preschool children into three groups. The first group watched adults play rudely with an inflatable clown (充气小丑) called Bobo; another watched adults play quietly with a
different toy while ignoring Bobo; and the third had no connection with these adult role models. Next, each of the children was left alone with Bobo.
The results of the study were striking. Only the children in the first group later
kicked Bobo, hit it with a stick, and sat on it just as they watched the adults do.
The above study indicates kids may follow suit if they see what others do. That’s
why role models matter. When kids are exposed to role models they can relate to, it
英语期中试题（共12页） 第 6 页
helps them set ambitious goals. Don’t assume kids know they can be anything they want when they grow up.
Take myself for example. “Angela, do you think the US will elect a female
president in your lifetime ” Years ago, this was the last question of the last interview for a scholarship I didn’t win. Without hesitation I shook my head saying “no”. As the interview ended, I realized I’d given an answer that the committee found disappointing. “Of course there will be a female president,” they wanted me to say with a confident smile. “And I hope I have your vote.”
Like most children, my first role models were in my family. My dad had a PhD in
chemistry. My uncles and countless cousins were mostly doctors or scientists. So, if you’d asked me in, say, third grade, “Angela, could you become a college professor someday if you tried ” Without a bit of evidence that I’d be any good at such a career, I’d have nodded my head.
So it’s quite necessary that we should go out of our way to expose kids to role
models, whether it’s an Olympic athlete or a CEO. Now that we have our first female
vice-president, can the first female president be far behind
32. Why did the children in the first group treated Bobo rudely
They regarded it as a mere toy.
They meant to make fun of Bobo.
They were raised to behave badly.
They were set a negative example.
33. What did the committee expect Angela to do with the last question
To raise her doubt. B. To respond positively.
To interpret its meaning. D. To change her reply quickly.
34. How did third-grade Angela feel about the chance of being a professor
A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Curious. D. Hesitant.
35. Which of the following may be the best title for the text
A. My Role Models
Aim High and Act Early
How to Become American President
Role Models Help Shape Kids’ Future

Having good conversations— with strangers or your friends— is an art. 36
Headlee, a podcast host, did a TED Talk about how to make a good conversation. Here’s her advice.
Be present.
People think it means not looking at your email or texting during the conversation.
It also means giving people your entire attention, ignoring anything unconnected.
There is another thing. 37 Let’s think of listening like a river. We dam it up all
the time when we stop listening to think about what we’re going to say next. Once that happens, you need to let such thoughts go out of your mind and return to the conversation.
Talk small to get to weightier topics.
Anything is OK. 38 “It is pleasurable to answer questions about yourself.
So small talk is a way to let people do that,” Headlee explains. Remember Yes-or-No questions don’t lead the conversation far. For example, rather than asking, “Are you sitting down ” You might try, “What kind of chair would you like to sit in ”
39
If you’re getting too many details, it can be easy to lose focus on the big picture. Nobody cares about the exact date or somebody’s name or the movie you watched.
Handle an awkward silence.
You have two options. One is to let it breathe. People say all sorts of things to fill
a gap in the conversation— that can lead you down a new conversation. You can also
address the awkward silence. “Admit it with a joke,” Headlee says. 40
Stay out of the weeds.
Mind your manners in a talk.
Go with the flow of the conversation.
You can’t pretend like it’s not happening.
Generally speaking, open-ended questions are preferred.
It requires attention, something that’s in high demand these days.
G. Ask people to talk about themselves and you’re already off to a good start.

Miss Baugh taught seventh-grade social studies. She was the kind of teacher that
just about everyone has had at least once: Scary. Her reputation was not unlike that of Dracula. Miss Baugh allowed no nonsense(胡言乱语).She drilled us and taught us to take school seriously. She also introduced to us the concept of“ extra credit” for a correct response to a random question - and a frown for an incorrect one. Miss Baugh had been teaching for a long time and knew how to frighten even the naughty boys in the back row, including me. She managed to scare us all.
But I also had a life outside of school and had just discovered cheap prank(恶作
剧)pieces- an ink bottle painted to look as though it had overturned , and a piece of shiny black metal shaped like a puddle of ink.
Of all the people I could have pranked, I chose Miss Baugh somehow. At the
英语期中试题（共12页） 第 11 页
beginning of the class, before she’d returned to her classroom, I dared to approach her desk. I opened her grade book and placed the bottle and the black metal on one of the pages, proudly noting that it truly did look like spilled ink! Then I went to my desk and waited for the fun.
l wasn't disappointed. When Miss Baugh saw the items, she let out a little cry and
looked for something to wipe up the ink with. The prank had succeeded the way beyond my expectations. But immediately she discovered that it was just a piece of black metal. She picked up the “puddle”, then the bottle, and examined them. She looked up with eyes sweeping the class room with a deadly stare. Some of my classmates who had seen me set up the fake spill carefully avoided looking at me , so as not to give me away. Then came the unavoidable question: “Who did this ”

Dear Mendez,
I’m writing to tell you what I have learnt from a book about robots. Now, let me share some
knowledge about robots to you.
As the book writes, there are many kinds of robots, including industrial robots, household robots
and enterainment robots. They play an important role in different areas.
Then, here comes to robots function. First, robots make our life more conveninent. By using
robots, we can do things that we didn’t have the ability to do in the part. In addition, robots can save
more people without feeling tired when disasters happen.
I think the robot is necessary part of our life. And we should invent more advanced robots to
bring benefits for humans.
Yours，Li Hua
读后续写：One possible version:
After a few violent beats in my heart,I slowly raised my hand.Miss Baugh fixed me with a stare
that struck terror in my heart. The whole classroom fell into a dead silence.I thought a storm of
criticism was coming, but unexpectedly, she just laughed."Well, it certainly fooled me!”she said,
with a satisfying expression spreading across her face. She returned the prank pieces to me, and for a
few seconds a sweet little old lady appeared right where Miss Baugh stood.
Miss Baugh was as strict as before,but something changed in me. She continued to lead us in
our social studies with her serious attitude.I didn't prank others any longer and was more focused on
my study.And she became a good teacher worthy of respect in my heart just because I glimpsed that
Miss Baugh had a warm human being beneath her stern face. That may have been the most enduring
"extra credit"I received in seventh-grade social studies.
