曲靖市2012年初中英语学业水平完全填空If you spend some time in an English-speaking country you might hear the term “etiquette”. It means normal and polite social behavior. This may seem like a difficult word at first, but it can be very useful to understand.Etiquette is not the same in every culture or in every situation. For example, standing very close to the person you are talking with is quite common in some Asian countries. However, if you do this in Europe，some people might feel uncomfortable. Even in China，we all know that etiquette is not the same in all situations. Perhaps we think that talking loudly in our own homes is fine, but there are other places where talking loudly is not allowed. For example, most people would agree that talking loudly in a library, a museum or a movie theater is impolite. Even if you are with your friends, it is better to keep your voice down in public places.If we see someone breaking the rules of etiquette, we may politely give them some suggestions. One of the most polite ways is to ask someone, Would you mind doing this or Would you mind not doing that. For example,if someone cuts in fornt of you in a line ,you could ask them, Sorry, Would you mind joining the line ? if someone is smoking on the bus,you could ask,Excuse me,could you please Put out that cigarette? People don’t usually like to be criticized, so we have to be careful how we do this.阅读理解AIf you travel around China you will notice a very popular activity everywhere you go--basketball. This much-loved and active sport is enjoyed by many, for fun and exercise. The sport of basketball is a little over a hundred years old. It is played by more than 100 million people in over 200 countries including China ,where basketball has been play in parks, schools, and even in factories. Basketball was invented by a Canadian doctor named James Naismith, who was born in 1861. When he was at college, his class was once asked to invent a new game that could be played indoors during the long winters. Dr Naismith created a game to be played on a hard wooden floor, so the safety of the players was important. Knocking into players and falling down would be dangerous. Dr Naismith divided the men in his class into two teams and taught them how to play his new game. Theaim of basketball is for players to get a ball into the "basket";a new hanging from a metal hoop. Plays shoot from below the basket and may use the "backboard" for guiding the ball into the basket. Players move towards one end of the court while throwing the ball to each other. It is believed that on December 21st, 1891, the first basketball game in history was played. Then in 1936 in Berlin, it became an Olympic event. A team from China took part, and although they didn't win they used the experience to help develop the game at home. Since then, the popularity of basketball has risen worldwide, and the number of foreign players in America's NBA (National Basketball Association) has increased. Basketball has also become a more popular sport for people to watch, and many young people dream of becoming famous basketball players.BMany years ago there lived a very rich man who wanted to do something for the people of his town. But first he wanted to find out whether they deserved his help. In the center of the main road into the town he placed a very large stone. Then he hid behind a tree end waited. Soon en old man came along with his cow."Who put this stone in the center of the road?" said the old man, but he did not try to remove the stone. Instead, with sane difficulty he passed around the stone and continued tm his way. Another man came along and did the same thing, then another came, and another. All of them complained about the stone in the center of the road but not one of them tried to remove it. Late in the afternoon a young man came along. He saw the stone and said. "The night will be very dark. Sane neighbor will come along later in the dark and will fall against the stone."The young man then began to move the stone. He pushed and pulled with all his strength to remove it. How great was his surprise at last when, under the stone, he found a bag of money and a piece of paper with these words: "This money is for the first honest man who removes this stone from the road."Many years ago，there lived a very rich man who wanted to do something for the people in his town．But first he wanted to 1 ____________ if they deserved（值得）his help．So he placed a very large stone in the 2____________ of the main road to the town．Then he hid（藏）behind a tree．Soon an old man came withhis cow．“Who put this stone in the center of the road?”said the old man，but he didn't to 3_____ the stone．Instead，he rounded the stone with some4__________ and went on with his way．Another man came and did the5________ thing，then another．All of them complained about the stone in the center on the road，6__________ no one tried to move it．Late in the afternoon，a young man came．He saw the stone and said，“The night will be very7____．Some people will come late in the dark and may 8____ because of the stone．”The young man began to move the stone．He pushed and pulled to move it to one side．To his surprise，he found a bag full of money and his 9 _______ under the stone：“The money I for person who moves this stone from the road．That person deserves（应该得到）10 ______1．A．sell out B．look out C．find out D．point out2．A．side B．center C．beginning D．end3．A．move B．put C．throw D．collect4．A．interest B．energy C．difficulty D．danger5．A．different B．hard C．happy D．same6．A．so B．but C．ifD．and7．A．bright B．dark C．coldD．wet8．A．fall B．cry C．stand D．cry9．A．story B．picture C．saying D．message10．A．bags B．stones C．help D．moneyYou may feel curious about students in other countries: Do they also have so much homework? What do they do in their free time? On April 8, a report came out on the lives of school students in China, Japan, South Korea and the US. It surveyed around 6,200 students from the four countries last year. You will find the answers to many of your questions in this report.Who studies hardest?Chinese students spend the most time studying. Nearly half of Chinese students spend morethan two hours on their homework every day. That’s much more than students of the US (26.4%)，Japan (8.2%) and South Korea (5.2%).Who sleeps most often in class?Japanese students fall asleep in class most often. About 45% of them say they sometimes doze off in class. In South Korea, it’s 32%; in the US, 21%; and 5% in China.South Korean students don’t like taking notes. About 70% say they write down what the teacher says in class, many fewer than in Japan (93%), China (90%) and the US (89%).What do they do after school?In their free time, most Chinese students study or surf the Internet. Most American students hang out with their friends. Most Japanese students do physical exercises. Most Korean students watch TV.1 How many countries were surveyed in this passage?A. TwoB. ThreeC.

Do you know what numbers they wear? Their numbers, like No.10 or No.23,are as famous as them .In sports, numbers tell the names of the players to scorers or other players, and sometimes also show their positions. Some numbers have more important meanings.In soccer,a very important number is No.10. The No.10 jersey is traditionally worn by the best player on a team, usually a striker or midfielder. Maradona and Pele are among the first famous players to wear the No.10 jersey.In basketball ,NBAteams often retire the numbers of their greatest and most talented players . It is an interesting thing that Retiring a number is an honor to the player who wore it . This means no other players on the tearm are able to use that number in the future.When Michael Jordan retired for the first time , the Chicago Bulls retired his No.23 in 1994. to show respect for the hero, the Miami Heat team also retired No.23 in 2003, never played for that team.阅读理解AA rich man asked a clever old man to help his son c. hange hisbad habits.

In the Spring and Autumn Period copper(铜) andiron(铁) chopsticks appeared. Then the lacquered(涂漆的) chopstickscame in the Han Dynasty. Later gold and silver 6 chopsticks followed.Today we have chopsticks made of different materials. The most expensive are ma de of part of tusks of elephants and the hard green stone.In ancient times the rich used hard green stone of goldchopsticks to show their wealth. It was said that silver chopsticks would turn black if they touched poisoned food(although this has beenproved false) ,so in history many kings and emperors used silver chopsticks to see if the food was poisonous(有毒的).In China, chopsticks are traditionally given to a daughter whenshe marries to hope that they will have a son very soon, because the word “cho psticks” in Chinese is pronounced like “quick sons” People often believe cho psticks have something to do with good luck. So on New Year’s Eve many families will lay out new chopsticks atdinner as a way of wishing for luck, and dropping chopsticks is a sign of bad l uck to come.It’s believed that using chopsticks can increase fingers’dexterity(灵巧) and improver memory . Many westerners, businessmen, tourists put aside thei r knives and forks, but choose chopsticks in China.德宏完全填空Happy birthday to you !On this special day I'd like to talk to you 1 a special way.I don't think I'm good at 2 you my thoughts face to face, so I'm writing to tell you my deep love for you.

It is played by more than 100 million people in over 200 countries including China, where basketball has been played in parks, school, and even in factories.Basketball was invented by a Canadian doctor named James Naismith, who wasborn in 1861. When he was at college, his class was once asked to invent a new game that could be played indoors during the long winters.Dr Naismith divided the men in his class into two teams and taught them how to play his new game. The aim of basketball is for players to get a ball into the “basket”:a net hanging from a metal hoop. Players shoot from below the basket and may use the “backboard”for guiding the ball into the basket. Players move towards one end of the court while throwing the ball to each other.It is believed that on December 21st, 1891, the first basketball game in history was played. Then in 1936 in Berlin, it became an Olympic event. A team form China took part, and although they didn’t win they used the experience to help develop the game at home. Since then, the popularity of basketball has risen worldwide, and the number of foreign players in America’s NBA (National Basketball Association) has increased. Basketball has also become a more popular sport for people to watch, and many young people dream of becoming famous basketball players.根据短文内容，判断以下句子的正误。
2012年云南省中考英语作文答案
The Power of Perseverance: Lessons fromthe 2012 Yunnan Provincial High SchoolEntrance Exam English EssayIn the 2012 Yunnan Provincial High School Entrance Exam, the English essay topic was a profound exploration of perseverance and its role in shaping our lives. The essay invited students to reflect on their own experiences and discuss how perseverance had helped them overcome challenges, learn valuable lessons, and ultimately, achieve success.Perseverance, a quality that is often overlooked in today's fast-paced world, is the silent force that drivesus forward when faced with obstacles and setbacks. It isthe determination to continue despite difficulties, the refusal to give up, and the belief that with enough effort, success is achievable.In my own life, I have experienced the power of perseverance on numerous occasions. One such instance occurred when I decided to learn a new instrument, the guitar. Initially, the task seemed daunting, with complex chords and finger placements to master. However, Ipersevered, practicing daily and gradually overcoming the initial difficulties. Over time, the once-impossible chords became familiar, and I was able to play simple melodies. This experience taught me that with perseverance, even the most challenging tasks can be overcome.The essay further explored the role of perseverance in academic success. It argued that while intelligence and talent are important, perseverance is often the key factor that separates successful students from their peers. This was evident in my own academic journey. I remember struggling with a particularly difficult subject in school. While my classmates seemed to grasp the concepts easily, I found myself struggling. However, I refused to give up. I persevered, seeking help from teachers and classmates, and eventually, I mastered the subject. This experience taught me that perseverance is not just about never giving up;it's about learning from failures, improving, and trying again.Moreover, the essay highlighted the importance of perseverance in building character. It argued that by persevering through difficult times, we develop resilience,determination, and a sense of accomplishment that is unmatched. I believe this to be true. The challenges I have faced in my life, whether it was learning a new skill or overcoming academic difficulties, have all shaped me into a stronger, more resilient individual. I am grateful for these experiences because they have taught me that perseverance is not just a tool for achieving goals; it's a way of life that helps us grow and evolve.In conclusion, the 2012 Yunnan Provincial High School Entrance Exam English essay on perseverance provided a valuable lesson on the power of persistence. It reminded us that while success may not come easily, with perseverance and determination, we can overcome any obstacle and achieve our dreams. As students and individuals, we should embrace the challenges that come our way, learn from our failures, and never give up on our goals. After all, as the essay so eloquently put it, "Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after another."**坚持不懈的力量：从2012年云南省中考英语作文中汲取的教训**在2012年云南省中考中，英语作文题目是对坚持不懈的深刻探讨，以及它如何塑造我们的生活。
