浙江省外研版初中英语七年级下学期期末模拟试卷（3）

    Do you like shopping on the Internet? I like to buy books online. Usually, the price isn't very1. You don't have to pay a lot. When I want to know2about a book, I write an e-mail to the online shop for an answer. I am shy. It is difficult for me to3with the shopkeepers in real shops.

    Sometimes online shops have4of the book. They can show you some pages of the book, too. I think this is very5. I don't like to read books in shops because the shopkeepers6come and talk to me. I don't know7to say to them.

    I can shop at midnight if I want to. Real shops8at nine o'clock in the evening. Some people think they can9things from online shops, but postmen may lose or damage their things. But I don't worry about that. I think it is10to damage a book and most of the postmen are very careful.

    Some people say that shopping in real shops is good because they can go with their friends and11many different things. They call this window shopping. I don't have any friends and I don't like to talk too much- -it makes me12.

    I am13my grandmother how to shop online. She cannot walk very far14it will make shopping easy for her if she shops online. My brother15wants to learn how to do it. He is very busy most of the time. When he has a little free time, he can shop online.

    When you travel in a foreign country, it is very important to know the meanings of some gestures. Following the customs will help you.

    Japan has many robots now and you can see lots of them in the country. You can find worker robots, robots that clean your home, and even robots you can play with.

    My friend Tasuku has got a restaurant in a big city. It is near a supermarket. He gets nine robots for the restaurant. Each robot costs (价值) 34,000 yen. The restaurant is not big, but very popular. Now more and more people come here for dinner.

    The robots have different jobs in the restaurant. Three robots cook different kinds of food; one washes the dishes (盘子); one cleans the floor and the others give food to the customers.

    Although robots do most of the jobs in the restaurant, Tasuku is still very busy. He must do many things to keep the robots working well. Luckily, Tasuku is good at studying robots and he knows robots very well. I think in the future, there will be a lot of robot-themed restaurants (机器人主题餐厅) around the world.

    Reading is a good habit, but the problem is, there's too much to read these days, and too little time to read every word of it. There are hundreds of skills to help you read more in less time. Here are two skills that I think are especially good.

Preview—if it's long and hard. Previewing is especially useful for getting a general idea of heavy reading like long magazine articles and business reports.

Here's how to preview.

    Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.

    Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.

    Previewing doesn't give you all the details. It keeps you from spending time on things you don't really want--or need--to read.

    Skim—if it's short and simple. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading like popular magazines or the sports and entertainment of your daily paper.

    Here's how to skim.

    Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep them across each line.

    Pick up only a few key words in each line.

    Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same piece, but we'll get a similar idea of what it's all about.

    My name is Cathy. There are three photos of my good friends on my desk.

    In the first photo you can see Jerry. He is a tall and cool boy with short and straight hair. He is the captain of our basketball team. He is very popular. All my classmates like him very much.

    In the second photo, you can see a boy with glasses. His name is Jack. He is short and a little bit heavy. But he is very clever and funny. He often tells us funny stories and makes us happy.

    In the third photo, you can see two girls. They are reading a book. The girl on the left is Lucy. She is a beautiful girl from London. She has long blonde hair and big eyes. She can sing very well, and she can also speak a little Chinese. The girl on the right is Li Xiaoyun. She is a Chinese girl with beautiful black hair. She likes singing. She says she wants to be a singer.

    Mrs Wilson(like) to ask her husband(go) shoppingher on Sundays. Her husband(pay) for the things that she buys. Now they are in a shop.

    "Look, Andy. Is it a fancy hair clip?" Mrs Wilson asks her husband.

    "All right. And howis it?" he answers and(give) money to the shop assistant. When Mrs Wilson asks him about(anything) good or bad, he often says "All right. And how much is it?"her.

    At about 8 p. m., Andy is tired and thirsty, and he wants to have a drink. Suddenly (突然) his wife looksat the moon and says, "Look, Andy. Is the moon so beautiful?"

    "All right. And how much is it?" her husband answers(quick)

This is a story about a monkey. The old man liked the monkey very much. The monkey was very clever. When birds came to the garden, he drove(驱赶) them away. He also helped the old man in many other ways. A fly(苍蝇) came and sat on the end of the old man's nose. The monkey drove it away. Soon the fly came back again and sat on the old man's nose again. Again and again, the monkey became very angry. He jumped up, ran to pick up a large stone. When he came back, the fly was on the old man's nose again. The fly fell off, but the old man's nose was broken.

They do things too quickly but they don't think much before they do. Maybe they sometimes bring us trouble（麻烦）, though they mean to do something good.
