辽宁省沈阳市第七中学2024-2025学年上学期八年开学考试英语试卷

一、阅读理解 A When people talk to each other,write letters or make phone calls.words of the spoken form or the written form can send any messages they want to pass on. But besides words,do you know any other ways you can use to communicate with people?Rich expressions on your face can be one of them.A smile on your face shows that you are happy.Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad or excited. Body language can do the same job.When you put your hand up in class,the teacher knows that you want to say something or you may have some questions to ask.You shake your head from side to side and people know you are saying"no"or disagree with others.When you nod,people will understand that you are saying "yes"or agree to others'opinions or suggestions. Other forms can also carry different messages.For example,a sign at the bus stop gives passengers instructions on which bus to take.Sound from the school bell tells the students and the teachers when to begin or end a class.Music and films also convey the feelings and ideas of the musicians and the directors.So next time when you see a piece of art or listen to some music,take it as communication with its creator and try to get the meaning behind it. 1.When people want to use words to communicate with others,they_ A.make friends B.cry aloud C.keep quiet D.write letters 2.You just need to if you agree to others'suggestions.

"A supermoon is a full moon where the moon is just a little bit closer to the earth than usual,so it looks a little bit bigger and a little bit brighter,"Michael Brown, an astronomer(天文学家)at Monash University in Melbourne,Australia,said. A supermoon is a kind of new or full moon that is in the closest point in its orbit(轨道)to the earth.An astrologer(占星家)named Richard Nolle came up with this. Supermoons are special because they only happen a few times a year.Out of the 13 or 14 new or full moons all year round,only three or four of them are supermoons.Not only that,but supermoons look bigger and brighter than a full moon. Even though this difference may not be that dramatic(引人注目的to some viewers()on the earth,it is a huge event for astronomers."It's just kind of a fun astronomical thing,"Michelle Thaller,an astronomer,told Space.com."Sometimes it just knocks my socks off to see a full moon rising in the sky." There was a supermoon event that happened on May 26,2021.This supermoon was about357 311 kilometers from the earth.That's about 117 689 kilometers closer than usuall 1.A supermoon looks a little bit bigger and brighter because A.it is a bit closer to the earth than usual B.it looks very different from the earth C.it is a kind of new and full moon D.it only happens a few times a year 2.The underlined words "knocks my socks off"in Paragraph 5 probably mean_ A使我叹为观止 8,让我脱掉林子 C被我深深感动 Q.跟我撞个满怀 3.According to the passage,we can know that_ A.a full moon must be the biggest moon you have ever seen B.a special supermoon can move around the earth in its orbit C.we can see fewer supermoens than full moons in a year D.the next supermoon must happen on May 26,2023 4.You can probably see the passage in A.a storybook B.a science magazine C.an advertisement D.a survey report It seems very natural that if you have two dollars and add two dollars to them,you have four dollars.But do you know it took man millions of years to be able to think this way?1. In old times,when a man wanted to tell how many animals he had,he had no system of numbers to use.He put a stone or pebble into a bag for each animal.2.It may explain why the word "calculate"comes from the Latin word“calculus”which means“stone" 3. People would just draw a line or tally mark for each object they wanted to count,but they had no words to tell the number. The next step in the development )of the number system was probably to use fingers.Again we have a word that goes back to this.The word "digit"comes from the Latin word "digitus".It means finger"!And the fact that we have 10 fingers led to the general use of 10 in the system of numbers. It was brought to Europe during 8th to 11th century by Arab traders.In this system all numbers are written with the ten digits 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and0.It is a decimal system(-十进制).That is,,it is built on the base of 10, A.Later on,man used tally(记录)marks to count.
