初中英语听力口语自动化考试训练材料
谈到学习英语的四要素，众所周知是“听、说、读、写”。由此可见，“听”字当先，听的能力是“说、读、写”能力的基础。可以这样说，掌握一种语言首先是听懂。“听”是英语交际最重要的手段之一，也是学习英语使用最广泛的手段之一。由于学生平时在学校以读、写为主，听力训练少，会让学生误以为听力不重要，造成英语听力经常被忽视的现象。拿我自己的班级来说，在我的.ODI5级别班上，会有学生反映说有时候明明自己听对了读音，却写错了单词。有些单词读音差不多，但学生很难分辨。例如who’s和whose，listen和lesson等等。

Everybody thinks I have a real gift for painting. However, I once did not like art lessons because I could not draw very well. One day, I was playing with some paint as usual in Ms Lou’s art lesson. I mixed the paint with water. As I took the brush away, I dropped some paint onto the paper. Looking at the mark, I decided to blow it. The paint began to run, so I blew harder. The paint ran in all directions and made a very interesting picture! “That’s a very good picture, Sandy.” Ms Luo encouraged me to keep trying. Since then, I have been crazy about crayons and paints.

Winter is my favourite season. It is very cold and everyone has to wear thick warm clothes, but I always enjoy the winter here in Harbin.
The temperature is usually below zero and it is often snowy. Everything is covered in deep white snow, and the lakes and rivers are frozen.
During this season, you cannot see beautiful flowers or green trees, but the land is quiet and beautiful.
My friends and I love playing outside in winter. It is exciting to have big snowball fights. We also make snowmen and use carrots for their noses. They look funny.
Winter is great!

My father has worked in a local factory for years. You will not find anything unusual about him until you learn more.
My father has always been kind and helpful. He has donated blood many times since 1990. The blood he has donated is enough to save over 70 lives. He has also donated blood cells to people with blood cancer. To my surprise, he has decided to donate his body for medical research after his death.
When I was a little girl, I could not understand why my father always seemed to be kinder to others than to his own family. Now I realize that he has a heart full of love.

Zhalong Nature Reserve is in North-east China. It is one of the world’s most important wetlands. The area provides food and cover for a lot of wildlife. It is a perfect place for some rare birds.
Some people want to make the wetlands smaller in order to have more space for farms and buildings. This will lead to less and less space for wildlife. Now the Chinese government has made laws to protect Zhalong.
Wetlands are important because they provide food and shelter for wildlife including some endangered birds, and they also help prevent floods. We must protect the home of plants, fish and birds in Zhalong.

Twenty years ago, mobile phones were rather expensive. Only important or rich people had them. However, these days more people have them in their hands, even high school students.
It is true that mobile phones can be very useful. They are an easy way to keep in touch with friends and family members anywhere and at any time. But we also hear mobile phones ring in places like classrooms, cinemas and museums. The sound is very loud and can disturb people. Some drivers have accidents because they use their mobile phones while driving. So, are mobile phones really a good thing?

Dear Millie,
Thank you very much for your letter. I hope I can offer you some useful advice.
You said you often stay up late to finish all your homework. Plan your day carefully. Make a list of all the homework you have. Then work out how much time you need to finish it all. This will give you an idea of how much spare time you have.
You also said that you do not have enough time for your hobbies. What about choosing your hobby according to the time you have?
I hope you think my advice is worth taking.
Best wishes,
Helen

Today, we are going to make potato stamps. Potato stamps are very easy to make. First, you should get a large potato. Don’t use a small one, as it’ll be too difficult to hold. Next, wash it. You want to be sure to get it really clean. Now cut it in half with a knife. Be careful! I don’t want anyone to get hurt. Next, you should draw a design on the end of the potato with a pen. Then carefully cut the design out with the tip of your knife. When you’re done, pour some paint onto the plate. Now put the cut end of your potato into the paint. Finally, put the potato onto a piece of paper. Wasn’t that fun?

We are going to hold a talk on good table manners this afternoon. The purpose is to teach students rules for eating.
There will be a lot of advice on table manners. Above all, when you are sitting at the table, you should not start eating until everyone is ready, and it is impolite to make too much noise while you are eating or drinking. You should not eat with your mouth open or talk with food in your mouth. Before you leave the table, wait for everyone to finish.
These rules are important because we should make sure that both guests and hosts are comfortable at the table.

New York, London, Paris and many other cities are exciting places to live. There are lots of interesting things to see and do.
But there are serious problems in big cities too. It is expensive to live there, and there are too many people. Every year many people move to the cities to find work, study at good schools and receive high-quality medical care. But sometimes these people can’t find work or good places to live. Also it is hard to keep big cities safe and clean.
So, before people move to a big city, they should think about these problems they might have to deal with there.

Halloween is on October 31. People celebrate it in many ways. Children wear special costumes and masks at Halloween. Many children play a game called “trick or treat”. They knock on their neighbours’ doors and shout “trick or treat”. Their neighbours usually give them some candy as a “treat”. If the children do not get any candy, they can play a trick on their neighbours. Some people also make lanterns out of big orange pumpkins. They cut out the eyes, the nose and the sharp teeth. They put candles in them so the light shines through the eyes, the nose and the teeth.

Dinosaurs lived on the Earth a long time ago. We now know that the first dinosaurs appeared about 230 million years ago.
There were hundreds of different kinds of dinosaurs, but they didn’t live at the same time. Some dinosaurs were really small. One of the smallest dinosaurs was about one metre long and weighed about three kilograms. Others were really big. Some very large ones weighed over 100,000 kilograms and some were about 40 metres long.
Some dinosaurs ate plants and others ate meat, but they didn’t eat grass. All dinosaurs had four legs and lived on land.

Our environment is changing for the worse, so it is time for us to go green. Here are some simple steps to take at home.
We can save water by taking shorter showers and turning off the tap when we brush our teeth. In order to save power, we should turn off the lights when we leave a room.
Some other good habits can help reduce pollution too. We should not use plastic bags when shopping. Recycling is also a good way to help reduce pollution. We should separate waste into different groups so that it can be recycled.
Follow these small steps, and you can make a big difference to the Earth!

Dear Sir,
I would like to recommend Daniel for this year’s Young Star Award.
Daniel is a clever boy. He learns things quickly. He always thinks carefully when he works. He plans everything well.
Daniel is really kind. Last week, a five-year-old boy lost his way and was crying in the street. Daniel saw him and took him to the police station. He stayed with the boy and played with him for two hours before the boy’s parents came.
All the members at the Helping Hands Club think that Daniel should get the award. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,
Sandy
