These dreams can be very big, like winning the Nobel Prize, or they can be small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class. Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real? “Follow Your Heart” by Australian writer Andrew Mathews tells us that making our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge (挑战). You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream, the book says. In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is, in fact, many small dreams. You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will bring you better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book. As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests. 27. “Follow Your Heart” is ________. A. the first thing you must do to make your dream real B. the most important dream to have for teenagers C. the name of a famous Australian writer D. the name of a book by Andrew Matthews 28.

What should NOT you do to make your dream come true? A. Always remember what your dream is. B. Do what you should do step by step. C. Watch TV to get better exam results. D. Read more books, learn more skills and find new interests. 30. What is the best title of the text? A. Keep your dream in your mind B. How to find your real dream C. Make your dream real D. Teenagers have many dreams 【答案】27. D 28. D 29. C 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述如何使梦想成为现实。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“‘Follow Your Heart’ by Australian writer Andrew Mathews”可知，Follow Your Heart是作家Andrew Mathews写的一本书。故选D。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.”可知，A项正确；根据第四段中的“Keep telling yourself what you want.”可知，B项正确；根据最后一段中的“There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams.

The May Day Holiday is coming. Going out for a trip or staying at home, which is better? Some students think ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文： Going out for a trip or staying at home? The May Day Holiday is coming. Going out for a trip or staying at home, which is better? Some students think that going out for a trip is better. During the trip, they can enjoy some beautiful views. Moreover, they can relax and make some new friends. However, other students don't think so. In their opinion, staying at home is a better choice. First, there are usually too many people at the places of interest. Second, they often have so much homework to do that they don't have much spare time for a trip. Third, they think that the holiday is a good time to read. Reading can open up a whole new world to them. I would like to go out for a trip during the holiday because as the saying goes, “Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles.” We can not only learn from books but also learn by travelling. 【解析】 【详解】1.题干解读：题目要求以“Going out for a trip or staying at home?”为题，根据表格中内容写一篇短文介绍班级调查的情况并发表你的观点。必须包含所有要点，可适当发挥。 2.写作指导：写作时要承接原文开头，第三人称和第一人称结合，使用一般现在时来写作。文章可分为三段式来写作或可按照自己的理解合理分段。要保证无单词拼写和语法错误。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 西吉县第五中学2023-2024学年度第二学期 八年级中期英语试卷 一、听力理解（共四题，每小题1分，满分20分；第四题见试卷46-50小题） 第一节：（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） Ⅰ．听句子，选择与所听内容相符的图片。听一遍。（5分） 1．A． B． C． 2．A． B． C． 3．A． B． C． 4．A． B． C． 5．A． B． C． Ⅱ．听对话，选择正确的答案。听两遍。（5分） 6．What’s the doctors advice?

I make a card with forty squares (方框), and I write a different chore on each square. These chores can be easy and interesting like making dessert. Then my family roll the dice (骰子) to decide what chores we have to do. The card also has a few squares with fun things, like watching TV and singing. If you’ re lucky, you can watch TV when the others are doing the chores. My son likes the game very much. He goes to the kitchen happily every morning to do the game.

Sometimes your parents fight with each other, or you fight with your parents, or even you fight with your brother or sister. When it happens, you may feel sad or even angry. Remember even people who love each other fight sometimes. When you’re sad or angry, keep calm and then try thinking of a way to solve the problem. You could go out to run around or play a ball, or just find a quiet place and relax. When you’re really calm, talk with the person you argued with. Then maybe you’ll feel much better. Even if you’re very angry, never hurt anyone in your family. That could only make things get worse. If your brother or sister hurts you, it’s important to tell your parents. It’s also important to tell an adult (成年人) if your parent hurts you. You could have a family meeting to talk about it when the fight happens. At the meeting,everyone should tell how they feel and give their advice. Sometimes, you should visit a family doctor to talk about the problems and get advice. It’s not always easy to stop families from fighting. But working together can make it work. 19. Which of the following ways to calm down is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Go out to run around. B. Go to play a ball. C. Listen to some relaxing music. D Find a quiet place and relax. 20. What shouldn’t you do when there is a fight in your family? A. Visit someone and get advice. B. Hurt the person you argued with. C. Find a quiet place to calm down. D. Have a family meeting to talk about it. 21. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. A family meeting could help with the fight in your family. B. It’s not easy for you to stop your family fighting alone. C. You can visit a family doctor to get advice on your family fight. D. The people in a family fight because they don’t love each other. 22. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Never fight with anyone in your family. B. A family fight may hurt everyone in your family. C. Try to do something to stop the fight in your family. D. What should you do when a family fight happens? D Tim was a little boy of nine years old. He was busy last Saturday morning, because he went to the park with his friends to paint. He returned home very late. It was nearly half past twelve, but nobody was in. He found that there was a note on the table. Tim, We’ve gone to your grandparents’. Please cook lunch for yourself. If you are free this afternoon, you may come to join us. Love, Father & Mother Tim didn’t want to follow his parents everywhere. He felt so good that he could be a real big boy and look after himself. Thinking there was nothing important out there, he cooked some noodles for himself and also helped himself to some apple juice. Then he started to do some housework. He was really a good helper to his mother. When his mother was away, he would always find some housework to do, like sweeping the floor and washing the dishes. He felt it quite right for him to do some housework at weekends. In the late afternoon, his parents came back. He asked them what happened. “Why? You forget? It’s your grandmother’s birthday today.” “Uh! I simply forget! I must telephone my grandmother.” He picked up the phone.“I’m terribly sorry, Grandma, that I forgot about your birthday. Anyway, anyone will forget one thing or another. So I won’t get worried if you forget my birthday next Tuesday.” 23. Who was in home when Tim returned from the park? A. Nobody. B. His mother. C.

A. ②③①④⑤ B. ③①⑤②④ C. ③①②⑤④ D. ④③①⑤② E As teenagers, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, like winning the Nobel Prize, or they can be small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class. Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real? “Follow Your Heart” by Australian writer Andrew Mathews tells us that making our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge (挑战). You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream, the book says. In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is, in fact, many small dreams. You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will bring you better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book. As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests. 27. “Follow Your Heart” is ________. A. the first thing you must do to make your dream real B. the most important dream to have for teenagers C. the name of a famous Australian writer D. the name of a book by Andrew Matthews 28. If you want to make your dream real, you should ________. A. remember what your dream is B. keep telling yourself what you want C. never be afraid of the big difficulties D. try to start with all the things above 29. What should NOT you do to make your dream come true? A. Always remember what your dream is. B. Do what you should do step by step. C. Watch TV to get better exam results. D. Read more books, learn more skills and find new interests. 30. What is the best title of the text? A. Keep your dream in your mind B. How to find your real dream C. Make your dream real D. Teenagers have many dreams 四、听短文，填写表格。听两遍。（5分） Name Sweep the floor Fold the clothes Make the dinner Wash the clothes Beth Every day Every evening 46________ Four times a week Doris 47．________a week 48．________ On weekends Three times a month Clark 49．________ ever Never Never Once a 50．________ 五、单词拼写。（每小题1分，共5分） 阅读下面短文，根据汉语意思在空白处填入适当的单词.（每空一词）。 Have you ever seen volunteers? ____31____ (想象) what the world would be like without volunteers.
