On 14 June, Euro 2024, the men’s European Football
Championship, kicked off in Germany. Many eyes were on the
strikers(前锋) who scored the goals. However, the goalkeepers
were 36 important. Goalkeepers are unique in football. They
are the only players who are allowed to 37 the ball with
their hands, but the differences don’t end there. New research has found that goalkeepers actually see
the world differently from everyone else.
The study got together a group of 60 people, 38 goalkeepers, outfield players and non-
footballers. They then tested how quickly these people were able to tell sounds and flashes apart.
They found that the goalkeepers’ brains were able to put together and 39 signals(信号) from
different senses far quicker than others.
A) moments B) movements C) natural D) scientific E) view
The study also found that the goalkeepers were better at being able to tell where different pieces
of information were coming from. This is helpful for goalkeepers, because their
初三英语 第3页 共8页40 is often blocked by other players when they need to dive for the ball without actually being
able to see it. In these situations, their 41 are based on the sound of the ball being struck.
It’s unclear whether this ability is a result of training, or whether it’s a 42 ability these
people are born with. Further research on goalkeeper training is needed to come up with an answer
to this question. However, there is 43 evidence(证据) for the idea that goalkeepers have special
abilities. The study only focused on male players. More research is needed into female goalkeepers
and also into other positions to test whether strikers and midfielders have similar differences in how
they deal with information.

Should fireworks be banned(禁止)?
People like to celebrate special occasions with fireworks. However, although they can be fun to
watch, fireworks can be dangerous if not used correctly. Some people want them banned altogether,
whereas others think there should be stricter rules about when and where they can be used. What do
you think, should fireworks be banned?
Yes - they’re dangerous and 65
Fireworks are explosive and dangerous in the wrong hands. They can cause injuries, like burn.
Not everyone loves fireworks. The bangs(突然的巨响) can be really frightening for people with
anxiety. The sound of rockets can also make wildlife, farm animals and pets 66 with fear for a long
time. Besides, Fireworks cause plastic pollution and they can produce gases that lead to climate
change. They are bad for the 67 . It’s better to celebrate without a bang.
No - they’re too important to people
Many people find fireworks beautiful and exciting to watch, as they fill 68 skies with
sparkles(闪烁的光) at night. They’re also an important part of celebrations around the world.
69 , they’re used during Kiwali, a festival celebrated by many religions; at Independence Day
celebrations for Americans; and during Lunar New Year by many Asian cultures. Many businesses
that make or sell fireworks would have to 70 if fireworks were made illegal(非法的). Anyway,
there’s no need for a total fireworks ban. The SPCA, a UK animal charity, wants laws changed to
make fireworks quieter, with controls on when and where they can be bought and set off.
65. A) changeable B) polluting C) powerful D) special
66. A) touch B) wave C) shake D) unite
67. A) performance B) celebration C) education D) environment
68. A) dark B) blue C) bright D) clear

Chinese soldiers are now welcoming some new “teammates”: robot dogs. These China-made
robots recently showed their amazing s 71 at the China-Cambodia “Golden Dragon 2024” joint
exercise(联合演习) in May.
During the joint exercise, Chinese team members were able to control remotely(遥控) a robot
dog called Go2. It quickly checked for obstacles(障碍物) like fences and old tires. With cameras on
its head, Go2 can send l 72 video back to headquarters.
Go2 is also very small. It w 73 only 15 kilograms. It can do things like jumping, moving
backward and even lying down – just like a real dog. It can work for two to four hours at a time
before it needs a “rest”.
A heavier robot dog, B1, can not only check areas but also a 74 . It carries a gun on its back
and can shoot when ordered to. It can carry things as heavy as 80 kilograms on its back.
The robot dogs can help soldiers with d 75 tasks, such as going through rainforests or other
unclear environment. Their help can stop more soldiers from getting hurt.
Apart from human’s best “robot friend”, the joint exercise also showed more types of smart
equipment, such as drones(无人机). Instead of fighting in a war, these smart m 76 are used to
solve common threat(威胁) like terrorism and natural disasters.
Robot dogs play an important role in many o 77 areas. During the 19th Asian Games in
Hangzhou in 2023, robot dogs helped find and return thrown discuses(铁饼). Without the robots,
people would have needed to cover over 7,000 meters in a single competition. Robot dogs can also
be “lifesavers”. Some robot dogs can “see” clearly through smoke when there’s a fire thanks to their
special cameras.
D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分)
In the city center, firefighters quickly get ready when they hear the alarm. Within 60 seconds,
they are dressed and rushing to a burning building. Even though they know the floors might collapse
and the ceilings could fall, they still have to go inside. One wrong decision might mean death.
Who would do a job like that? Ask firefighter Sam Telfer. One month ago, he signed up for the
job. He used to sit in an office of a software company, but now he is trained to break into rooms full
of smoke and heat and come up with a rescue strategy.
“I wanted a job where I could be active, work with my hands, learn new practical skills, and
face different challenges every day.” That’s quite an understatement(保守说法) to describe a career
that requires you to keep a cool head while fighting against a fire. But Telfer says that flames(火焰) and
nerves can be controlled in the same way: through continuous physical and mental training.
Telfer was a runner in college, but now he trains his lungs for dangerous situations instead of
races. He has to climb hundreds of steps while wearing 34 kilograms of gear, like oxygen tanks. He
also needs to carry unconscious people to safety. No matter what he’s doing, he has to control his
初三英语 第8页 共8页breathing. Panic(恐慌) will only waste his limited air supply.
His survival depends on more than just being physically fit. Firefighters need a lot of mental
preparation too. When they are not dealing with emergencies, they study many subjects like emergency
medicine, structural design, and chemical reactions. They practice quickly assessing(评估) the
changing conditions of a fire.
Shifting from a software expert to a first responder was a big change for Telfer. But he says, “I
have never once felt that this isn’t the right job for me.” Even though danger might be waiting every
day, his body and mind are trained to stay calm, even in the middle of a fierce fire.
78. Firefighters have to get ready within sixty seconds after hearing the alarm, don’t they?
79. When did Sam Telfer become a firefighter?
80. Where did Telfer work before becoming a firefighter?
81. What physical training does a firefighter take? Give an example.
82. How can a firefighter survive a big fire?
83. Does Sam Telfer love the job as a firefighter? Give your reason.
VII.Writing (作文) (共20分)
84. Write at least 60 words according to the given situation. (根据以下情境写一篇不少于60
个词的短文，标点符号不占格)
假如你是初三学生李华，最近收到小学同学张文的来信，信中抱怨了他的烦恼：他学业
