第一学期初三英语学科期中测试卷
A
A few years ago, I wored at a church(教堂) and since my son was home schooling, he went with me to the church every day. Most mornings, we’d stop at a local convenience store, getting a chocolate drin for him and a cup of coffee for me.
The cler at the store we chose to visit refreshed our lives each day, and so we returned again and again. She had found her own way of enjoying life and her job. I’ m not even sure that she was realiing that her energy put a smile on the face of each customer.
When a customer brought cooies to the counter, any other cler could have ased “Would you lie some mil with those cooies? ” Instead, she inquired,“Would you lie a lottery ticet(彩票) with those cooies?”
She might have ased me if I wanted a donut with my coffee. But instead, she ased “Would you lie some batteries(电池) with that coffee?”
Yes, life is what you mae of it. This cler’s method of dealing with what some thin is a boring job, and with the customers she met daily, made the hours in her
day more enjoyable. In doing that, she also refreshed the lives of others and made them laugh. Sometimes, if my day at the church had been particularly tiring, we’d stop at that
store before heading home. We’d giggle (咯咯笑) as we left the store, the cler’s words echoing (回响) behind us. “Would you lie some shampoo with that soda?” 16. What did the writer do a few years ago? A.

Roc-paper-scissors is a game played all around the world. Ever since we were ids. we have relied on it to deal with disagreements with friends——from which channel to watch to who gets to eat the last ice Cream——all because we thin the results are completely random. But are they?
Wang hijian, PhD, a professor at hejiang University，believes that there is a regulation behind this simple game. So he gathered 360 students, divided them into
groups of si and had each group play 300 rounds of roc-paper-scissors, reported USA Today.
After the first results, Wang thought he was wrong, because players chose each of the three moves about one-third of the time, suggesting that the game is random after all. However, Wang later noticed a surprising regulation of behavior in the data. When players won a round, they usually stuc to
the same choice. But when they
lost，they tended to change to a more powerful move. For eample, if Player A had
just thrown down scissors to beat Player B's paper，Player A was more liely to throw down scissors again while Player B was liely to choose roc，since roc beats scissors. According to Wang, this might be
a function that is called “conditional response”.
So, for the net step of his study, as he told BBC, Wang plans to do some research about how human brains mae quic decisions when competing.
Now that you've learned how to predict the moves of your opponent, you’ll have an advantage net time you play roc-paper-scissors with your friends. But there is one problem：mae sure they haven’t read about Wang's study, or your advantage
will disappear.
Also, Wang pointed out that his predictions were made depending on the results of the prior round, so when it comes to the very first round, it is always a matter of chance. This means that if you and your friends want to decide something by only one round, the study won’t be much help to you.
21. What does the underlined word “ random” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Equal (平等的） B. Amusing C. Unpredictable
D. Strange
22. which of the following is TRUE about Wang hijian and his study? A. He found a new game theory called ”conditional response”. B. He ased 360 students to play a total of 300 rounds of roc-paper-scissors.
C. After studying the first several results, Wang discovered the pattern behind the game. D. The study suggested that the traditional belief that roc-paper-scissors game is random is wrong.
