A Spring Morning Spring (By Meng Haoran) By William Blake,UK) This spring moming in bed I'm Sound the flute! Lark(云雀)insy, Not to awake till birds are crying. Now it's mute(无声的)， Merrily, After one night of wind and showers, Bird's delight(快乐). Merrily,merrily, How many are the fallen flowers? Day and night. to welcome the year. Nightingale(夜莺，.， -Translated by Xu Yuanchong) In the dale(山谷)， -(Partial excerpt) The first poem might be one of the most famous poems about spring in China.It's simple and calchy. The poet doesn't directly say how much he loves spring.Instead,he writes about details of the season:the birds,the wind,the rain showers and the fallen flowers.The way he talks about these things shows us the joy he feels during springtime.Instead of talking about the bright colours of flowers,Meng writes about the sounds of spring.He hears birds singing in the moming and remembers the sounds of the wind and rain at night.Writing about these sounds allows readers to picture spring using their own imagination(). William Blake's poem celebrates the coming of spring as a source of joy.As spring comes,nature leaps into a new life,and the new year begins.People ask for the flute to be sounded as it is quiet everywhere.This will mean the end of the lifeless winter's silence.The birds in the poem are joyful day ad night. 5l.Which is the best choice for the'“▲_"r A.flying B.staying C.lying D.sleeping 52.Meng Haoran writes about the sounds of spring to A.make readers form a picture of spring in their minds B.tell readers what he hears during the springnight C.show the readers how weather changes in spring D.describe the end of the lifeless winter's silence 53.According to the passage,both Meng Haoran and William Blake A.mention the coming new ycar B.express their sadness for spring C.describe the fallen flowers D.include birds in their poems B A primary school in southern China introduced a homework circuit breaker ()Itold students to stop doing homework after 9:30 pm to make sure that they have enough sleep.This has sparked ( discussion on the best way to reduce study stress on students The school in Nanning,capital of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region,said recently that students would not be punished for homework left unfinished after 9:30 pm. Many schools and education authorities in the country are taking measures to follow the national 八年级册中英语第4贞共8页 "double reduction"policy.("双减"政策)，which aims to reduce students'homework and extracurricular (课外的)learning Some people thought that the rule could help children get more sleep,but many others were not sure if it was the best way to really reduce their study stress. Xiong Binggi,director of the 21st Century Education Research Institute,said cooperation ( from parents will be needed if the measure is to work,because some ask their children to do extra homework. Since the "double reduction"policy was carried out'in 2021,most primary and secondary schools in China have reduced students'homework. According to a notice from the Ministry of Education in 2021,primary school students should have 10 hours of sleep a night,with middle school students expected to sleep for 9 hours. "Not many chiidren have reached the standard (because some parents pay more attegnon to their children's grades rather than helping them devekp good time-management habits"Xiong said. So it is a long way to go to reduce the study stress of the students. 54.What does the underlined word "It"in Paragraph 1 refer to? A.A homework circuit breaker. B.A primary school. C.Getting enough sleep. D.The study stress of students. 55.Why does China carry out the "double reduction"policy? A.Because it wants to make students have a good rest. B.Because it wants to reduce studcnts'study stress. C.Because the homework circuit breaker asn't useful to students. D.Because more and more students can't get good grades. 56.Which of the following is TRUE about the "double reduction"policy? A.Plenty of students don't like this policy. B.It has been catried out for five years in China. C.The effecl or the "double reduction"policy is not perfect because of some parents. D.Many people have full confidence in this policy. 57.What's the best title of the passage? A.Looking forward to better ways to reduce students stuay stress B Looking forward to more homework circuit breakers entering more schools S.Parents should try their best to help their children D.We should pay more attention to students'study stress The debate(争论)on“computers vs.textbooks”has been going on for years.How much technology is enough in the classroom?Should notebook computers take the place of()textbooks? There is no doubt that computers are powerful tools.Computer-based lesson plans are updated() in real time.New information can be added as soon as changes take place.Students can find the newest information for the subjects they are studying. With computers,students can learn how to use them for the rest of their lives.Today,computers are used in almost all areas.Students can prepare themselves better for the future if they have computers. However,I think textbooks must stay.Textbooks are professionally edited().All the facts have been checked.They are put together in the best way.Each chapter builds on what a student has leamed before.On the Interet,however,not all the information is true or organized. With textbooks,it is easier for students to take notes.Scientists have found that taking notes by hand helps students learn more. Textbooks are also less expensive than computers.While most families have enough money for textbooks,not all of them can buy a computer.Every student should have the chance to leamn what he needs to lear.It's wrong to rob a student of his right to learn just because he can't buy the material. Computers are of great importance in education.They encourage students to learn more.However,I don't think they can take the place of textbooks.If students want to learn better,they.mustuse textbooks. Do you agree with me? 58.The writer asks two questions in Para.I in order to A.raise his/her question B.get readers'replies C.go on with the writing D.introduce textbooks 八年级期中英语第5页共8页 59.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.Students can learn better withou textbooks. B.Computers can't take the place of textbooks. C.It is better tor students to study with computers. D.Textbooks are the only way for students to learn. D In recent years,summer is getting hotter and hotter.Have you started using the air conditioner in your home yet?Running air conditioners often uses a lot of electricity.Besides,the refrigerant()used in them is bad for the environment.In Toronto,Canada,some buildings have been using a special cooling system instead.It is called the Deep Lake Water CoolingODLWC)system. ,The DLWC system uses water from Lake Ontario(安大略湖).At85 metres below the surface of the lake,the water is very cold..It stays t four degrees-Celsius(摄氏度). The DLWC system has three huge pipes.They pull water from deep below the lake and send it to a central station.This station is linked to many pipelines.hey carry the cold water todifferentbuildings These buildings have pipes built into their walls and floors.As the cold water flows through these pipes,it helps cool the buildings. The DLWC system was built in2004.It now provides cooling for more than 100 buildings in the city. These buildings include hotels,hospitals and more. What happens to the water after it has cooled the buildings?Well,it is then sent to a plant.There,it is purified()and turned into drinking water.Enwave runs the DLWC system in Toronto.According to the company,the system saves about one million tons of water per year. Besides that,the DLWC system uses much less energy than air,conditioning.The system helps the city save a lot of electricity each year.This electricity is enough to power a town of 25,000 people. 62.What can we know about the DLWC system according to the passage?
