海宁市南苑中学2018-2019学年第二学期期中考试八年级英语试卷2019.4一、完型填空(本题有15小题;每小题1分;共计15分)I once had little passion(激情) in my life. But what happened the other day changed my mind. It was then that I learned how 1 it is to have a passion in life.That day I went home in Mom’s car. When Mom 2 at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my eye. It was a man dressed 3 old clothes. He was homeless. That didn’t interest me, because I had seen 4 like him before. Those people usually looked unhappy and hopeless.But this man was 5 in some way. He was not sitting down 6 but dancing happily to the music with a 7 in his hand. The radio seemed to be the most important thing for him.“Mom, why does that man have a radio 8 he’s homeless?” I asked.“He 9 it,” she answered.“10 why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He paid for something that he didn’t need.”“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the most important.”That man must care more about 11 than food or clothes. I soon realized that 12 is the key to life.Since then I am always 13 what is truly important in life. A home, a meal, clothes—these things are 14 part of the life. What we often forget is that we all need a joy, a light in a 15 day. We all need a passion which gives a person the happiness to keep going.1. A. strange B. important C. dangerous D. difficult2. A. stood B. stopped C. walked D. exercised3. A. in B. on C. by D. for4. A. none B. few C. all D. many5. A. rude B. polite C. common D. different6. A. sadly B. seriously C. proudly D. happily7.

A. money B. health C. happiness D. friendship13. A. talking about B. thinking about C. waiting for D. looking for14. A. only B. all C. also D. never15. A. warm B. hot C. dark D. bright【答案】1-5 BBADD 6-10 ACDDC 11-15 BCBAC二、阅读理解(本题有15小题;每小题2分;共计30分)AWhen I was a child, my parents always told me that I should never talk to strangers. This was part of a whole list of things I should never do: Never accept food or candy from strangers, neverget in a car with strangers, and so on.But if we didn’t start a conversation with strangers, we’d never make new friends. We’d never get a job. We may miss the happiness that comes from talking with strangers. And the more people you know, the more chances you can get.The following passage offers you some advice on how to break the ice.Don’t just look at your shoes. Go and say “Hi” to that new guy. It will be easier to break the ice if you know more about different cultures.British: Beautiful day, isn’t it?The weather in Britain is changeable. So, it is one of the topics the British care most about. And there’s a simple rule: Say “Yes” whether you agree with the person’s idea on the weather or not. That’s because the British start a conversation using the weather so that they can continue their talk.French: Where did you go on holiday?To talk with a French person, the safest way is to ask about his or her last holiday. French students enjoy a 10-to-15-day holiday every two months. French employees(雇员) get more than one and a half months of holidays every year.American: So, where are you from?The US is so big and people move so often that place is always a source(来源) of talk. You can try to find a connection with the place they’re from. For example, if someone is from Los Angeles, you could say, “Oh, I have a friend who studied there.”1. The writer’s parents tell him not to talk to strangers because ______.A. it was dangerousB. the writer didn’t like to talk with strangersC. it was part of the lifeD. the writer’s parents were afraid to talk with strangers2. The underlined phrase “break the ice” probably means ______.A. put the ice into piecesB. offer a chance to talkC. play an interesting gameD. give others some help3. The passage is mainly about how to ______.A. get more chances to talkB. know more about different culturesC. get along with a strangerD. start a conversation with a stranger【答案】1-3 ABDBSydney Fredette is very busy. Not only is she a high school student, but she has also set up her own organization, Beary Merry Christmas. She volunteers(志愿) to offer services to poor children and families in Orange Country in California, US.To remember her best friend who died of cancer nearly 10 years ago, Fredette decided to offer services to those in Orange Country who are less lucky than she is.She began with the easy idea of collecting donated(捐赠) Build-A-Bears, the popular toy animal that is made by children themselves in the stores’ workshops. Fredette then gave them as presents to the homeless children in California during the holiday season.With donations at more than 100 bears a year, Fredette and volunteers hold activities every year, where volunteers not only give out the bears, but also clothing, meals, and other things.Not wanting to limit(限制) the giving to just the holiday months, Fredette held other activities for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and Halloween, offering the chance to her volunteer team to make a difference through the year.“I love making friends with the people I offer services to,” Fredette said. “It’s so cool to hear their stories and see how happy they are.”Fredette even built a public food bank and offered a self-development class to students in her school.She plans to stay local and continue to help out in her hometown.1. What can we learn about Beary Merry Christmas?A. It holds one activity a year.B. It buys bears from the stores.C. It gives out bears and other things.D. It offers services around America.2. We can infer(推理) from the passage that Fredette ________.A. likes telling people storiesB. is pleased with what she has doneC. dreams of being a teacherD. plans to leave California for study3. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Offering a food bankB. Improving local schoolsC. Giving back to societyD. Getting on well with others【答案】1-3 CBCCWould you like to have a brother or a sister? Years ago this might have sounded impossible to many. But since several years ago, with the end of China’s “one-child policy(政策)”, this could actually happen now. All Chinese couples are allowed to have two children. It means that many Chinese children may have siblings(兄弟姐妹) in the future.What would it be like growing up with a brother or a sister? Having a sibling can stop children from bad feelings, according to Laura Padilla-Walker, a teacher from Brigham Young University, US. “Siblings give children something that parents can’t,” she said. You may not feel lonely at home any more because there is someone to play with you. You can also share secrets with him or her.“But children with siblings also have to learn to control(控制) their feelings,” said Padilla-Walker. You need to share things with them, such as attention from parents, toys, the bathroom and the TV. There are also unpleasant situations such as competition, name-calling and even hair-pulling.Even the birth order of siblings could matter too. US psychologist Kevin Leman said that birth order decides the way parents treat their children, thus causing different personalities between siblings.Leman explained that parents are usually more strict with their first child. So firstborns may be perfect because parents set high goals(目标) for them. They usually act well and hope to succeed. When the couple has a second child, they have fewer rules. So late-born children are usually more creative. They also love attention. It is said that many of them also have a good sense of humor.1. The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refers to(指) ______.A. one-child policyB. having a brother or a sisterC. the end of “one-child policy”D. being allowed to have two children2. In Paragraph 2, the writer mainly tells us ______.A. the advantages of having a siblingB. how to look after a siblingC. how to get on well with a siblingD. the secrets of having a sibling3. According to Kevin Leman, ______.A. late-born children are usually successful at schoolB. having a sibling can stop children from bad feelingsC. parents are usually more strict with their first-born childD. children with siblings have to learn to control their feelings 4. Which of the following best shows the structure(结构) of the passage?A. B. C.D.【答案】1-4 BACD三、词汇运用(本题有15小题,每小题1分,共计15分)A. 用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空。

So he went to a medical school in Virginia, the USA. But when he was there, he did things in different ways. For example, he didn't like the doctors' white coats. He liked wearing shirts with flowers on them when he visited his patients(病人),and he tried to make them laugh. The doctors at the medical school didn't like Adams very much because he was too different.Adams believed that people in hospital need more than just medicine. He saw unhappy and lonely people, and he tried to help them not just as patients, but as people, too. He spent a lot of time with children in hospital, and often put a special red nose on his face to look like a clown and to make the children laugh.When he finished medical school and became a doctor, Adams opened his own hospital called "The Gesundheit Institute", together with some other doctors. They wanted it to be a place in a different way of working with patients.Hunter Adams became famous during the 1980s, and in 1998, Universal Pictures made a film about his life.

Our once lively house became quiet and lonely. I missed and worried him so much that I started sending him messages on the phone, mainly to say hello or to give him a word of warning.One of my messages says, "So you told me you lost your wallet. If you are always careless, one day you'll wake up and find yourself lost."I did get Eric's messages, but most of them were about money. I was a bit angry.They were not different from the notes he used to leave on the white board when he was at home."I bought a new pair of shoes. They cost me $90. Please help!""Money is running short because I've bought some books for my research paper. Help me please!"Recently, however, Eric begins to send me all kinds of articles (文章). Some are funny, some are touching and some make me think. He knows I haven't got many things to do in my free time. He says they will help me understand young men better and keep up with the times.I read the articles slowly, like a careful student, with mixed feelings as well- my kid, who followed me around not long ago, has now become my teacher!So I write back, "I've read all those articles, I'll take them as a loving son's hopes towards his mother. He must be thinking that his mother is still young enough to accept new things. That makesme feel proud. We parents can't learn quickly and change in both body and mind. Thank you, my son."In this way we share ideas, with a gentle and beautiful language we seldom use. Every time I read those messages, I feel warm.(1)From the underlined sentence, we can infer (推断) that the son often wrote about ____________ in the past.A. studyB. hobbiesC. moneyD. future(2)The following EXCEPT ____________ are the reasons (原因) why Eric sends his mother all kinds of articles.A. giving his mother some things to doB. asking his mother for some more moneyC. helping his mother keep up with the timesD. helping his mother understand young men better(3)The writer's feelings about her son after leaving for university can be described as ____________.A. proud →angry →worriedB. proud →worried →angryC. angry →worried →pr oudD. worried-→angry →proud(4)Which part of a magazine may the article come from?A.

Now, many astronomers are looking for new planets and new places for humans to live in the future. But where do astronomers start exploring?First of all, astronomers look for a star. That's because our own Earth moves around a star— the Sun. More importantly, it is neither too far from nor too near to the Sun for heat and light. So when astronomers have found the star, they look at the planets around it. In recent years, astronomers have found nearly 400 new planets with stars. However, many of these planets are either too near to the star or too far away.However, if the planet is in a good place, astronomers look for three key things: water, air and rock (岩石). Water is important because all life needs water. Humans can drink it and they can also grow plants with water. And plants produce air for humans to breathe and food to eat. Rock on a planet is also important. That's because there is often water under the rock.After many years of exploring, astronomers have found a planet like the Earth. It's Gliese 581g and it's near a star. The astronomers think it has water and rock and the temperature is between -31°C and -12°C. That's cold, but not colder than Antarctica or the Arctic Circle, for example, Gliese 581g is bigger than the Earth. A year on Gliese 581g is only 37 Earth days, not 365 Earth days. But astronomers do not think these are big differences and some of them think Gliese 581g will be a new Earth. However, Gliese 581g is twenty light years from the Earth.(1)How do astronomers discover a new planet for humans to live on? Choose the right order.a. Astronomers look for three key things.b. Astronomers look for and find a right star.c. Astronomers look at the planets around the star.A. a-b-c.B. b-a-c.C. b-c-a.D. c-a-b.(2)According to paragraph 3, which of the following things is the most important?A. Water.B. Air.C. Rock.D. Food.(3)What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 4 refer to?A. the EarthB. Gliese 581gC. the SunD. Gliese(4)What's the main idea of the text?A. Gliese 581g is already a new Earth.B. There are some planets like our Earth.C. Water, air and rock are important.D. Astronomers are looking for a new Earth.答案:10.【答案】(1)C(2)D(3)B【考点】日常生活类,说明文【解析】【分析】文章大意:本文主要介绍了四个动画工作室,包括他们的位置、基本情况以及代表的动画电影等信息。

B.Impolite. C.Active.
