Hua Chunying is a Foreign Ministry Spokesperson. Spokespersons hold press meetings from Monday to Friday. Hua is good at answering harsh questions.

Liu speaks fluent English and knows British culture well. He has done so excellent work that he is respected by the British people. Wang Yi is the Minister of Foreign Affairs. He often visits foreign countries and represents China at international meetings. He also writes articles on newspapers explaining China’s foreign policies.

They want me to spend my weekend like my sister Jenny. I always get up late. So I usually have nothing for breakfast. I play basketball for an hour then. For lunch, I often eat out. Hamburgers and ice-cream are my favorites. I know they are not good for me, but they taste great. After lunch, I usually go to the movies with my friends. Sometimes, I sleep all the afternoon. In the evening, I either watch TV or play computer games. I don’t go to bed until eleven thirty. But Jenny is different. She never gets up after six thirty. Then she brushes teeth and does morning exercises. After that, she has milk and eggs. She does her homework all the morning. For lunch, she eats rice, meat, fish and vegetables. She studies for 3 hours before she eats dinner. Sometimes, she helps with housework after dinner. Then she goes out to take a walk. She reads and takes a shower before going to bed. “What an excellent day I have!” Jenny always says. It is weekend! I just want to relax myself well. I hate to hear my parents always say the same words again and again to me. It’s terrible to live like Jenny! What can I do? Yours, Leo 54. What does Leo often have for lunch on weekends? A. Rice and meat. B. Milk and eggs. C. Fish and vegetables. D. Hamburgers and ice-cream. 55. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. Leo usually sleeps all the afternoon. B.

A. “Breakfast is important for your health. ” B. “Sleeping all the afternoon is helpful. ” C. “You don’t have to get up early. ” D. “Going to bed late is a good way to relax yourself. ” C Do you know what a shouzhang is? It is a diary decorated with tapes, stickers, drawing and other things. It’s a part of Japanese popular culture and it also becomes popular in China. In May, twin sisters from Zhejiang became “stars” online because of their interesting shouzhang. They are Lin Ting and Mao Yue----two 14-year old eighth-graders from Wenhui Middle School in Hangzhou. They record(记录) things about food, travel, pets, school life, and other interesting things in their lives in their shouzhang. The twins started to make their shouzhang about two years ago. “Nothing will be greater than to look back on these beautiful memories (回忆) when we get old,” Lin said. They stay true to themselves----putting both small happiness and little frustrations into their diaries. For example, they often write funny stories about their two pet dogs Dabao and Gege. When Lin has too much homework to do, she writes about how she feels. “It makes me feel better,” Lin said. They also write about their favourite foods and stars. Mao collected pictures of ice cream, coffee and her hero Zhang Yixing, and stuck them in her shouzhang. They always bring their shouzhang with them while travelling. Both of them are good at drawing. And they also have a big box of tapes and stickers! So it’s a piece of cake for them to make their shouzhang beautiful. 58. Which is NOT true about a shouzhang? A. It’s a special diary with decorations. B. It’s now getting popular in China. C. It started in Japan. D. It only has tapes, stickers and drawings in it. 59. In the twin sisters’ shouzhang, you may NOT see________. A. world news B. school life C. how they feel D. delicious food 60. The underlined word “frustrations” means _________ things. A. useless B. amazing C. exciting D.unhappy 61. The passage mainly tells us_______. A. what a shouzhang is B. how the twins make a shouzhang C. what the twins put in their shouzhang D. why shouzhang is popular in China D (One day, Gulliver was caught in a storm and his ship hit a rock, then damaged. He was washed to the beach by sea wave. He walked and walked to find a city, but he was too tired and felt asleep. When he woke up, he found himself in Lilliput and a lot of tiny people were around him.) The Emperor spoke in a high voice but I could hear all the words clearly. His followers and all the ladies wore rich and beautiful clothes. The ground where they were standing looked like gold and silver cloth. His Majesty and I often spoke to each other but neither of us understood a single word. I tried words from many languages—Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian and Latin. No one could understand my words, not even the cleverest of the Emperor's followers. After about two hours the Emperor left. His wife, children and their servants also went. There were strong guards around me. This was to stop the crowd of people from hurting me. An officer told the guards to hold six men who made me angry. These men were given to me and I had to choose their punishment. I put five of them in my pocket. Then I pretended(假装) to eat the sixth man. The poor man screamed terribly. The guards were worried when they saw my knife in my hand. Was I going to cut up the man? But I only cut the binding(捆绑物) round his hands. Then I put him on his feet and let him go. I lifted the other five men out of my pocket and put them gently on the ground too. The people and the soldiers were very pleased with my great kindness. They told the Emperor about it immediately. The Emperor ordered his men to make a bed for me and they had to join six hundred of their little beds together to make one bed for me. At the same time the Emperor asked all his advisers for their advice on how to deal with. They were very worried. If my binding was cut, I might be dangerous. I was eating so much food that soon all the people would be very hungry. The farmers could not grow enough food to feed all of us. The wise men thought that they should kill me. But they would not be able to bury(埋葬) me. My dead body would smell. This might cause much illness all over the country. ---Adapted from Gulliver's Travels 62. Why did the tiny people hurt Gulliver at first? A. They wanted to kill him and got his eyes. B. They were afraid of him because he was too big. C. They thought he would attack the Emperor and his people. D. They liked him so much and wanted to make fun of him. 63. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 most probably refers to（指）“ ”. A. the guards B. the officers C. the six men D. the soldiers 64. Put the following statements in the correct order according to the story. ①The Emperor ordered his men to make a big bed for Gulliver. ②They couldn't understand each other. ③The Emperor spoke. ④Gulliver didn't punish the six tiny people and let them go. A. ③②①④ B. ③②④① C. ①④③② D. ②①③④ 65. Why didn't the tiny people in Lilliput kill Gulliver finally? A. He was so strong that he would work for them. B. He was so big and they didn't have the weapon to kill him. C. The Emperor and his family liked him so much that they didn't agree. D. His dead body would smell and cause much illness in their country. 五、词汇运用（共10小题；每空一词，每题1分，计10分） 66. Millie got the first prize in the drawing ____________.（比赛） 67.

People usually drive two or three hours to a place not far away. Then they spend two or three days enjoying themselves there. They have no need to make a plan before the trip, and it doesn’t cost much. In fact, the idea of micro-tourism isn’t new. It started seven or eight years ago. But it’s getting popular these days because of COVID-19. Now more and more Chinese people choose to take short trips. Mark Hou is one of them. Before COVID-19, the 28-year-old man loved taking long trips. He liked visiting many places of interesting foreign countries. But now he has to choose a new travel style. “Travelling a long distance means that you need to take trains or planes. But it’s dangerous to do that now, ” Hou said. “To stay healthy, I choose short-distance travel.” But that doesn’t mean Hou can’t have fun during his short trips. After days of work, Hou usually invites some friends to drive to the countryside at weekends. Sometimes they just bring a camera, some food and water, and walk around the mountains or parks. “When spring comes, we go to the mountains with many trees. Walking in the mountains, we can get fresh air and take exercise. Also, we can enjoy the beautiful flowers,” Hou said. “When we feel tired, we can put up a tent to rest and have a picnic. It’s really interesting.” So, you don’t need to travel far away to find a rest place. Maybe you can try micro-tourism next time. 76. What is micro-tourism? 77. When did micro-tourism start? 78. Why is micro-tourism getting popular these days? 79. How does Mark Hou take short trips now? 80. What does Mark Hou think of micro-tourism? 七、首字母填空（共10空；每空1分，计10分） Hangzhou Asian Games（亚运会）, also known as the 19th Asian Games, has been held in Hangzhou, China from September 23 to O 81 8, 2023.

My father took it and started eating. “Where’s the 44 of the food?” he said to the waitress. ““Dad,” I said, “everyone 45 food here.

In May, twin sisters from Zhejiang became “stars” online because of their interesting shouzhang. They are Lin Ting and Mao Yue-- --two 14-year old eighth-graders from Wenhui Middle School in Hangzhou. They record(记录) things about food, travel, pets, school life, and other interesting things in their lives in their shouzhang. The twins started to make their shouzhang about two years ago. “Nothing will be greater than to look back on these beautiful memories (回忆) when we get old,” Lin said. They stay true to themselves----putting both small happiness and little frustrations into their diaries. For example, they often write funny stories about their two pet dogs Dabao and Gege. When Lin has too much homework to do, she writes about how she feels. “It makes me feel better,” Lin said. They also write about their favourite foods and stars. Mao collected pictures of ice cream, coffee and her hero Zhang Yixing, and stuck them in her shouzhang. They always bring their shouzhang with them while travelling. Both of them are good at drawing.

He was washed to the beach by sea wave. He walked and walked to find a city, but he was too tired and felt asleep. When he woke up, he found himself in Lilliput and a lot of tiny people were around him.) The Emperor spoke in a high voice but I could hear all the words clearly. His followers and all the ladies wore rich and beautiful clothes. The ground where they were standing looked like gold and silver cloth. His Majesty and I often spoke to each other but neither of us understood a single word. I tried words from many languages—Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian and Latin. No one could understand my words, not even the cleverest of the Emperor's followers. After about two hours the Emperor left. His wife, children and their servants also went. There were strong guards around me. This was to stop the crowd of people from hurting me. An officer told the guards to hold six men who made me angry. These men were given to me and I had to choose their punishment. I put five of them in my pocket. Then I pretended(假装) to eat the sixth man. The poor man screamed terribly. The guards were worried when they saw my knife in my hand. Was I going to cut up the man? But I only cut the binding(捆绑物) round his hands. Then I put him on his feet and let him go. I lifted the other five men out of my pocket and put them gently on the ground too. The people and the soldiers were very pleased with my great kindness. They told the Emperor about it immediately. The Emperor ordered his men to make a bed for me and they had to join six hundred of their little beds together to make one bed for me. At the same time the Emperor asked all his advisers for their advice on how to deal with. They were very worried. If my binding was cut, I might be dangerous. I was eating so much food that soon all the people would be very hungry. The farmers could not grow enough food to feed all of us. The wise men thought that they should kill me. But they would not be able to bury(埋葬) me. My dead body would smell. This might cause much illness all over the country. ---Adapted from Gulliver's Travels 62. Why did the tiny people hurt Gulliver at first? A. They wanted to kill him and got his eyes. B. They were afraid of him because he was too big. C. They thought he would attack the Emperor and his people. D. They liked him so much and wanted to make fun of him. 63. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 most probably refers to（指）“ ”. A. the guards B. the officers C. the six men D. the soldiers 64. Put the following statements in the correct order according to the story. ①The Emperor ordered his men to make a big bed for Gulliver. ②They couldn't understand each other. ③The Emperor spoke. ④Gulliver didn't punish the six tiny people and let them go. A. ③②①④ B. ③②④① C. ①④③② D. ②①③④ 65. Why didn't the tiny people in Lilliput kill Gulliver finally? A. He was so strong that he would work for them. B. He was so big and they didn't have the weapon to kill him. C. The Emperor and his family liked him so much that they didn't agree. D. His dead body would smell and cause much illness in their country. 八年级英语试卷第7页（共 8 页） 五、词汇运用（共 10 小题；每空一词，每题 1 分，计 10 分） 66. Millie got the first prize in the drawing ____________.（比赛） 67.

People usually drive two or three hours to a place not far away. Then they spend two or three days enjoying themselves there. They have no need to make a plan before the trip, and it doesn’t cost much. In fact, the idea of micro-tourism isn’t new. It started seven or eight years ago. But it’s getting popular these days because of COVID-19. Now more and more Chinese people choose to take short trips. Mark Hou is one of them. Before COVID-19, the 28-year-old man loved taking long trips. He liked visiting many places of interesting foreign countries. But now he has to choose a new travel style. “Travelling a long distance means that you need to take trains or planes. But it’s dangerous to do that now, ” Hou said. “To stay healthy, I choose short-distance travel.” But that doesn’t mean Hou can’t have fun during his short trips. After days of work, Hou usually invites some friends to drive to the countryside at weekends. Sometimes they just bring a camera, some food and water, and walk around the mountains or parks. “When spring comes, we go to the mountains with many trees. Walking in the mountains, we can get fresh air and take exercise. Also, we can enjoy the beautiful flowers,” Hou said. “When we feel tired, we can put up a tent to rest and have a picnic. It’s really interesting.” So, you don’t need to travel far away to find a rest place. Maybe you can try micro-tourism next time. 76. What is micro-tourism? 77. When did micro-tourism start? 78. Why is micro-tourism getting popular these days? 79. How does Mark Hou take short trips now? 80. What does Mark Hou think of micro-tourism? 七、首字母填空（共 10 空；每空 1 分，计 10 分） Hangzhou Asian Games（亚运会）, also known as the 19th Asian Games, has been held in Hangzhou, China from September 23 to O 81 8, 2023.
