It is difficult to say exactly what memory is. Even scientists who have been studying memory for many years say that they are still trying to find out what it is. We do know that memory is not just one thing stored (存储) somewhere in the brain (大脑). Memory is made up of small pieces of information stored all over the brain. The human brain is very small and light. But it needs about 20% of the oxygen (氧气) that our body takes in. We can’t think well if our brain isn’t getting enough oxygen, so always make sure there is enough oxygen in the air when you need to learn or remember something! Why do you forget things sometimes? The main reason for forgetting something is that you did not learn it well enough in the beginning. For example, if you meet some new people and right away forget their names, it is because you didn’t record (记录) the names when you heard them. No one can remember everything, but everyone can learn how to improve their memory. Here are some ways: ●When you want to remember something, tell a friend about it. This way the new information becomes more memorable. Later on, think about the conversation with your friend. It will help you remember the information. ●Don’t over-train your brain. When you’ve remembered a list of new vocabulary, stop studying. It’s better to study a lot of material (材料) for a short time than a small part of material for a lot of time! But remember: you do have to practise your new vocabulary as soon as possible! ●If you have to remember something big, break it down into smaller parts. It’s easier to remember 198756430387 if you break it into four smaller bits: 198-756-430-387. ●If you want to remember a piece of information, and you can’t, don’t get angry. Relax when you study! Try to enjoy yourself. You are learning new things every minute. You will remember better if you are happy and relaxed. In short, none of (没有一个) the ways can make your memory 100% perfect, but all of them are helpful. 36. Where is memory stored in your brain? A. In the left brain. B. All over the brain. C. In the right brain. D. Some parts of the brain. 37. Which of the following sentences is true according to the passage? A We can make our memory 100% perfect. B. We can break the big information into big parts. C. We should spend a lot of time studying a small part of material. D. We’ll forget things if we don’t learn them well in the beginning. 38. According to the passage, the writer probably agrees with ________. A. sharing new information with friends B. remembering long numbers by writing C. learning at least 100 new words at a time D. getting angry when can’t remember some information 39. What does the writer mainly talk about in the passage? A. What the human brain is and where memory is stored. B. When we think well and how we remember everything. C. Why we forget something and how we improve our memory. D. What memory is made up of and who can have a good memory. 【答案】36. B 37. D 38. A 39. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了记忆的存储位置、遗忘的原因以及提高记忆力的方法。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Memory is made up of small pieces of information stored all over the brain.”可知，记忆是由储存在大脑各处的小块信息组成的，也就是说记忆储存在你整个大脑里。故选B。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Why do you forget things sometimes? The main reason for forgetting something is that you did not learn it well enough in the beginning.”可知，如果一开始没有学好，我们就会忘记它。故选D。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When you want to remember something, tell a friend about it. This way the new information becomes more memorable.”可知，作者认为当你想记住某件事时，就把它告诉朋友，这样的话新信息就更容易被记住。故选A。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了记忆的形成原理，为什么容易忘记事情以及怎样提高记忆力。故选C。 四、（共10分，每小题2分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 What is space tourism? Space tourism (旅游业) is space travel for leisure purposes (休闲目的). What was once only a dream—described in books such as Arthur C. Clarke’s 2001: A Space Odyssey—is now becoming a reality (现实). Futurologists (未来学家) are scientists who try to predict (预测) what life will be like in the future. After the first man landed on the moon in 1969, they thought that hotels would be built on the moon by the year 2000. Futurologists also predict that, in the 21st century, families might go for a holiday on the moon. These predictions haven’t come true—but the development (发展) of technology (科技) may give a chance of these predictions coming true in future. Space Adventures is the only company to send people into space now. Space Adventures worked with the Federal Space Agency of the Russian Federation and Rocket and Space Corporation Energia to offer chances for the world’s first personal space explorers (探险家). Each person paid over $20 million for their 10-day trip to the International Space Station. Following several successful trips into space, more companies are now thinking about sending tourists into space. In order to make it cheaper, suborbital (亚轨道的) space travel is a choice for many companies, including Virgin Galactic. Explorers would go to a height (高度) of between 100 and 160 km above earth, experience (体验) 3—6 minutes of weightlessness (失重状态) and enjoy beautiful stars, then come back down to earth. This costs about $200,000 each person. It could be an excellent experience, but there are some problems with space tourism. Many people believe that it could make global warming (全球变暖) worse and it is not good for the ozone layer (臭氧层). What’s more, space travel is only really for the rich people. There are still millions of people in the world who couldn’t pay for it. 40. Which book described space tourism? _________________________________ 41. When did the first man land on the moon? _________________________________ 42. Which company can send people into space? _________________________________ 43.

Is all winning success? Winning is really, really fun. But I am here to share my idea: Winning does not always equal success. All around the world, we have created the win-at-all-cost culture. As a society, we honor the champion (冠军). We cheer for those people who win championships. Winning at all costs has become acceptable. We have become so focused on that end result instead of the process, and particularly when the end result is a win, usually how we got there often gets swept under the proverbial rug. We need to redefine (重新定义) success. Real success is developing champions in life for our world, win or lose. We may be able to plan our way to a win, but we can’t plan our way to success. Back to 1990, when I was first made the head coach of the UCLA Women’s Gymnastics Team, the best I could do was what other “successful” coaches had done. So, I became tough-talking and mean. I acted like a head coach whose only thought was to figure out how to win. After putting up with me for a few years, our team asked me for a team meeting. And for over two hours, they gave me examples of how my arrogance (傲慢) was hurtful. That was my time-out, and I chose to change. I realized that I needed to support our student athletes as whole human beings, not just athletes who won. It is so much easier to give orders than to actually figure out how to motivate (激励) someone to be better. And the motivation takes a really long time to take root. The key ingredient was to develop trust through patience and honesty. Let’s think about what you are talking with your parents on the car ride home. Are they focusing on the end result? Are you excited to use that time to show you are a winner? All of you care too much about the end result instead of your steps of learning. We are all coaches in some ways. We all have the responsibility to develop champions in life for our world. That is what real success looks like, and that is what we call a win-win. 51. The underlined phrase “gets swept under the proverbial rug” probably means “_________”. A. shows the result B. does some harm C. catches little attention D. decides the success 52. The writer mentions his experience as the head coach to show _________. A. it’s difficult to be a coach B. how his team won championships C. why his team asked him for a meeting D. it’s better to motivate others than to give orders 53. Which of the following is a real success in life? A. A kid who shows the medals and prizes he won to his parents. B. A player who tries to win a gold medal at the cost of his health. C. A coach who respects his members even though the team didn’t win. D. A parent who keeps asking about the grades his kid gets in the exams. 54. The writer probably agrees that _________. A. we shouldn’t plan for the end result B. winning doesn’ t always mean success C. a good coach often wants his team to win D. it’ s time for us to change the way we live 【答案】51. C 52. D 53. C 54. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了胜利并不等于成功，并用自己做教练的经历来论述这个观点，作者认为激励更加重要。 【51题详解】 词义猜测题。根据上文可知，人们更加专注于结果而不是过程。根据“and particularly when the end result is a win, usually how we got there often gets swept under the proverbial rug.”可知，how代表的是过程，人们对于过程是不太重视的。故选C。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“I realized that I needed to support our student athletes as whole human beings, not just athletes who won.”以及第六段“It is so much easier to give orders than to actually figure out how to motivate (激励) someone to be better.”可知，作者讲述做教练的经历是为了说明激励他人比命令他人更重要。故选D。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“I realized that I needed to support our student athletes as whole human beings, not just athletes who won.”可知，我意识到我需要支持我们的学生运动员，不仅仅是在他们取得胜利的时候，即使没有取得胜利也要尊重他们。故选C。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段最后一句“But I am here to share my idea: Winning does not always equal success.”可知，胜利并不等于成功。故选B。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年度第一学期北京市第十五中学八年级英语期中试卷 （时间：100分钟） 注意事项: 1. 本试卷共5页，七道大题，54道小题。考试时间100分钟。 2. 在试卷和答题卡上准确填写班级、姓名和考号。 3. 试题答案一律填涂或书写在答题卡上，在试卷上作答无效。 4. 在答题卡上，选择题用2B铅笔作答，其他试题用黑色字迹签字笔作答。 知识运用（共28分） 一、单项填空。（共15分，每小题1分） 从下面各题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 1.

Even before I learned to read when I watched TV programs that showed animals from around the world that needed help, I wrote down the phone numbers from the screen. I would take the numbers to my mother and tell her, “We need to call here. They need help. We need to help them.” For my fifth birthday party, my mom said that we could ask my friends to bring donations (捐赠) of cat and dog food instead of (代替) birthday gifts. Then we could give it to the animal shelter (收容所) . When I saw plenty of pet food, I was surprised. Together, my friends and I could help many animals, I thought. Then, when we went to the shelter, we told the shelter worker, “We’ve brought the animals here some cat and dog food. Could you open the back door so it will be easier to bring the food in?” The shelter worker looked at us and you could tell she thought opening the back door was unnecessary (不必要的). Finally, she said, “Okay.” Then, she met us around back, and when we opened the van (货车) with food, her eyes opened wide. “Wow! You sure do have pet food! What’s all this?” I told her about the story, and she almost cried. “You and your friends are so great! Thank you for being so generous (大方的) and kind.” We felt really proud. “We do make a difference.” Even as children, we could do something big. 32. The writer asked for cat and dog food instead of birthday gifts to ________. A. feed her own pets B. give it to the animal shelter C. sell it to the pet store D. save her friends some money 33. Why was the shelter worker surprised when the writer opened the van? A. Because there was much more pet food than she thought. B. Because the writer didn’t ask for her fifth birthday gifts. C Because the writer asked her to open the back door. D. Because she didn’t want any cat and dog food. 34. At the end of the story, the writer felt ________. A. tired B. lucky C. proud D. worried 35. What can we learn from the story? A. We shouldn’t be afraid of danger. B. It’s unnecessary to buy birthday gifts. C. Advice from parents is always helpful. D. Children can play a part in helping animals. C Do you think you have a good memory (记忆) ? It is difficult to say exactly what memory is. Even scientists who have been studying memory for many years say that they are still trying to find out what it is. We do know that memory is not just one thing stored (存储) somewhere in the brain (大脑). Memory is made up of small pieces of information stored all over the brain. The human brain is very small and light. But it needs about 20% of the oxygen (氧气) that our body takes in. We can’t think well if our brain isn’t getting enough oxygen, so always make sure there is enough oxygen in the air when you need to learn or remember something! Why do you forget things sometimes? The main reason for forgetting something is that you did not learn it well enough in the beginning. For example, if you meet some new people and right away forget their names, it is because you didn’t record (记录) the names when you heard them. No one can remember everything, but everyone can learn how to improve their memory. Here are some ways: ●When you want to remember something, tell a friend about it. This way the new information becomes more memorable. Later on, think about the conversation with your friend. It will help you remember the information. ●Don’t over-train your brain. When you’ve remembered a list of new vocabulary, stop studying. It’s better to study a lot of material (材料) for a short time than a small part of material for a lot of time! But remember: you do have to practise your new vocabulary as soon as possible! ●If you have to remember something big, break it down into smaller parts. It’s easier to remember 198756430387 if you break it into four smaller bits: 198-756-430-387. ●If you want to remember a piece of information, and you can’t, don’t get angry. Relax when you study! Try to enjoy yourself. You are learning new things every minute. You will remember better if you are happy and relaxed. In short, none of (没有一个) the ways can make your memory 100% perfect, but all of them are helpful. 36. Where is memory stored in your brain? A In the left brain. B. All over the brain. C. In the right brain. D. Some parts of the brain. 37. Which of the following sentences is true according to the passage? A. We can make our memory 100% perfect. B. We can break the big information into big parts. C. We should spend a lot of time studying a small part of material. D. We’ll forget things if we don’t learn them well in the beginning. 38. According to the passage, the writer probably agrees with ________. A. sharing new information with friends B. remembering long numbers by writing C. learning at least 100 new words at a time D. getting angry when can’t remember some information 39. What does the writer mainly talk about in the passage? A. What the human brain is and where memory is stored. B. When we think well and how we remember everything. C. Why we forget something and how we improve our memory. D. What memory is made up of and who can have a good memory. 四、（共10分，每小题2分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 What is space tourism? Space tourism (旅游业) is space travel for leisure purposes (休闲目的). What was once only a dream—described in books such as Arthur C. Clarke’s 2001: A Space Odyssey—is now becoming a reality (现实). Futurologists (未来学家) are scientists who try to predict (预测) what life will be like in the future. After the first man landed on the moon in 1969, they thought that hotels would be built on the moon by the year 2000. Futurologists also predict that, in the 21st century, families might go for a holiday on the moon. These predictions haven’t come true—but the development (发展) of technology (科技) may give a chance of these predictions coming true in future. Space Adventures is the only company to send people into space now. Space Adventures worked with the Federal Space Agency of the Russian Federation and Rocket and Space Corporation Energia to offer chances for the world’s first personal space explorers (探险家). Each person paid over $20 million for their 10-day trip to the International Space Station. Following several successful trips into space, more companies are now thinking about sending tourists into space. In order to make it cheaper, suborbital (亚轨道的) space travel is a choice for many companies, including Virgin Galactic. Explorers would go to a height (高度) of between 100 and 160 km above earth, experience (体验) 3—6 minutes of weightlessness (失重状态) and enjoy beautiful stars, then come back down to earth. This costs about $200,000 each person. It could be an excellent experience, but there are some problems with space tourism. Many people believe that it could make global warming (全球变暖) worse and it is not good for the ozone layer (臭氧层). What’s more, space travel is only really for the rich people. There are still millions of people in the world who couldn’t pay for it. 40. Which book described space tourism? _________________________________ 41. When did the first man land on the moon? _________________________________ 42. Which company can send people into space? _________________________________ 43. What can people do with suborbital space travel? _________________________________ 44. Do you think space travel could be an excellent experience? Why? _________________________________ 书面表达（共20分） 五、根据中文意思和英文提示词语写出句子。（共10分，每小题2分） 45. 为什么不听听英文歌曲呢？(why not) ________________________________________________________ 46. 我们学校正变得越来越好。(become) _________________________________ 47. 在北京，乘地铁是一种很好的出行方式。（travel） _________________________________ 48. 最终，我们决定去老舍茶馆看京剧。（decide） _________________________________ 49. 想到濒危动物就令人伤心。(think of) ________________________________________ 六、文段表达。（10分） 50. 请根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的文段写作。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出班级和姓名。 我校与国际友好校建立交流论坛，你的笔友David要来你的家乡北京旅行，他给你发来邮件，想了解北京的情况。请你根据他的问题回复邮件，内容包括： 游玩北京最好的季节，北京的著名景点，来北京之前需要了解的注意事项。 参考词汇：weather, advise, history, crowded 提示问题：·When is the best time to visit Beijing? ·What are some famous places to visit in Beijing? ·What other things should you know about Beijing before coming? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 七、选做题。（共10分，每题2.5分） 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I have a question for all of us.
