First, it is bad for your eyes. A researcher called Sarah Hinkley says the problem comes from the blue light from the screen. Looking at a smartphone for a long time can cause many diseases, for example, eye strain (劳损), headaches and dry eyes. So it is a good idea to take a break every 15minutes when you are working at a computer or using a smartphone. Second, screen use can do harm to children’s brains. A new study shows that using screens too much can affect (影响) how children’s brains grow. If children use screens for more than one hour a day, they might have lower levels of white matter in their brains. White matter is a key to the development of language and reading skills. So it is wise to cut down the time of children using all kinds of screens. Third, using screens too much will affect your sleep. According to a study, about 95% of the people between the ages of 13 and 64 use electronics (电子产品) before bed, especially the young people under 20. Doctors say that the light from those electronics at night may make you excited before you go to bed. Then it’s hard for you to get enough sleep. So you’d better turn off smartphones, TVs, and all other screens an hour before your bedtime. To keep healthy, doctors and researchers strongly advise that you shouldn’t use screens for long hours. 16．What does the underlined word ”diseases”mean in paragraph 2? A．疾病 B．损失 C．缺点 17．According to the passage, you can’t sleep well because you ________. A．take a break every 15 minutes B．have lower levels of white matter C．use screens too much before bed 18．You may read the passage in ________. A．a science magazine B．a travel diary C．a guide book 19．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How to keep healthy. B．The bad things of using screens too much. C．How to use smartphone. 常德市初中教学联盟校2023-2024学年八年级上学期期末考试英语试题 Hello! My name is Amy. Can you believe I’m in a school of 2030 now? The school is like a beautiful garden.

They often invite friends over for a meal, a party, or just for a cup of coffee and a conversation (交谈). Here are some kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their home: “Would you like to come over for dinner this Saturday night?” “Hey, we’re having a party on Friday afternoon. Can you come?” To reply to an invitation, you can say thank you and accept, or say you’re sorry and give an excuse. For example, “Thanks, I’d love to. What time would you like me to come?” or “Oh, sorry. I’m not available. I have to take a piano lesson.” Sometimes, however, people use expressions (表达) that sound like invitation but which are not real invitations. For example: “Please come over for a drink sometime.” “Why not get together for a party sometime?” “Why don’t you come over and see us sometime soon?” These are just polite (礼貌的) ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don’t tell you a specific time or date. They don’t tell you what time or which day to go. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly and polite. To reply to expressions like these, you can just say “Sure, that would be great!” or “OK, yes, thanks.” So next time when you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully.

Here are five things you should not give as a Chinese New Year gift. Wallet—Loss of fortune In traditional Chinese culture, giving a wallet as a gift means giving away all your money and you might lose all your finances and luck. However, it is no problem to give a wallet to your family member who already shares your money. Handkerchiefs—Saying goodbye forever Handkerchiefs are a symbol of saying goodbye forever. Giving someone a gift like this means you are saying goodbye forever. Umbrellas—Break up Umbrellas are a bad idea to give as gifts, because the Chinese word for “umbrella” sounds like the word for “breaking up”. Giving somebody an umbrella may mean that you feel your relationship has broken. Sharp objects—Cut off relationship Giving anything sharp, such as a knife or scissors, is also a bad idea, because it means cutting off the relationship. A common Chinese saying “one cut and it is in two parts” means the end of a relationship between people. Shoes—Evil Shoes are a bad idea as a present for Chinese New Year because the Chinese word for “shoes” sounds exactly like a word for bad luck or “evil”. 57．Which is the wrong gift for Chinese New year?

Children can learn different kinds of subjects through the educational programs and the special reports on TV.

Kids who understand their feelings are less probably act out by getting angry or fighting with others. They can use clear sentences to express their feelings. ③A good way to help kids deal with feelings is to discuss the different feelings how different roles in TV series may feel. When watching TV a parent could stop and ask the kid, “How do you think he feels right now?” Then, discuss the feelings that person may experience and the reasons. ④Doing so also teaches empathy. Young children think the world centers around them, so it can be an experience for them to learn other people have feelings too. When young children can understand other people’s feelings, they are less likely to do bad things to them. For example, if a child knows that pushing his friend to the ground may make his friend mad and sad, he will do so less. ⑤Teaching a kid about feelings will help him become mentally (精神上) strong. Kids who have the skills to deal with their feelings will be so confident that they can handle (处理) whatever they meet in their life. 74．The writer talks about 4-year-old and 8-year-old children in Para. 1 mainly to say _________.

Each morning, they get up early and rush to Chagan Lake with a group of horses. The fishermen use the horses to help pull fishing nets out of the frozen (结冰的) lake. For centuries, those living around Chagan Lake have kept alive the tradition of ice fishing. They dig holes through the thick ice and use a huge net to catch winter fish in the freezing waters. This special method has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). Every year in December, there is a winter fishing festival, which marks the beginning of the winter fishing season. Over 20 activities are held during the festival, such as winter sports competitions, nature watching, and the selling of the first-caught fish. None of the tourists at this year’s festival would ever imagine that Chagan Lake used to be only tens of square kilometers in size. In the past, there was little rainfall and the lake grew smaller over time. Also, overfishing is one of the main reasons. To bring Chagan Lake’s beauty back, the government used a lot of different methods. They brought in water from the Songhua River, grew more plants, and kept the water clean. The lake now covers about 500 square kilometers, and fish numbers have returned to a normal level. Now, an increasing number of tourists flock to the lake each year to experience the ancient ice-fishing tradition. 98．What do the fishermen in Songyuan City use horses for? A．Pulling fishing nets.

Too much screen (屏幕) time may be harmful to your health. First, it is bad for your eyes. A researcher called Sarah Hinkley says the problem comes from the blue light from the screen. Looking at a smartphone for a long time can cause many diseases, for example, eye strain (劳损), headaches and dry eyes. So it is a good idea to take a break every 15minutes when you are working at a computer or using a smartphone. Second, screen use can do harm to children’s brains. A new study shows that using screens too much can affect (影响) how children’s brains grow. If children use screens for more than one hour a day, they might have lower levels of white matter in their brains. White matter is a key to the development of language and reading skills. So it is wise to cut down the time of children using all kinds of screens. Third, using screens too much will affect your sleep. According to a study, about 95% of the people between the ages of 13 and 64 use electronics (电子产品) before bed, especially the young people under 20. Doctors say that the light from those electronics at night may make you excited before you go to bed. Then it’s hard for you to get enough sleep. So you’d better turn off smartphones, TVs, and all other screens an hour before your bedtime. To keep healthy, doctors and researchers strongly advise that you shouldn’t use screens for long hours. 16．What does the underlined word ”diseases”mean in paragraph 2? A．疾病 B．损失 C．缺点 17．According to the passage, you can’t sleep well because you ________. A．take a break every 15 minutes B．have lower levels of white matter C．use screens too much before bed 18．You may read the passage in ________. A．a science magazine B．a travel diary C．a guide book 19．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How to keep healthy. B．The bad things of using screens too much. C．How to use smartphone. 【答案】16．A 17．C 18．A 19．B 【导语】本文主要讲长时间面对电子产品的屏幕对健康的危害。最后，呼吁人们不要长时间使用电子产品。 16．词句猜测题。根据“for example, eye strain (劳损), headaches and dry eyes.”可知，后文都是列举长时间看电子产品屏幕产生的疾病。故选A。 17．推理判断题。根据“...make you excited before you go to bed. Then it’s hard for you to get enough sleep.”可知，人们睡眠不好是因为在睡前长时间使用电子产品，面对电子屏幕。故选C。 18．推理判断题。通读文章可知，本文主要讲长时间面对电子产品的屏幕对健康的危害，属于科学范畴。故选A。 19． 主旨大意题。根据“It might be fun to use your smartphone, but be careful.

They often invite friends over for a meal, a party, or just for a cup of coffee and a conversation (交谈). Here are some kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their home: “Would you like to come over for dinner this Saturday night?” “Hey, we’re having a party on Friday afternoon. Can you come?” To reply to an invitation, you can say thank you and accept, or say you’re sorry and give an excuse. For example, “Thanks, I’d love to. What time would you like me to come?” or “Oh, sorry. I’m not available. I have to take a piano lesson.” Sometimes, however, people use expressions (表达) that sound like invitation but which are not real invitations. For example: “Please come over for a drink sometime.” “Why not get together for a party sometime?” “Why don’t you come over and see us sometime soon?” These are just polite (礼貌的) ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don’t tell you a specific time or date. They don’t tell you what time or which day to go. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly and polite. To reply to expressions like these, you can just say “Sure, that would be great!” or “OK, yes, thanks.” So next time when you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly? 32．Canadians and Americans often invite friends for meals because ________.

Here are five things you should not give as a Chinese New Year gift. Wallet—Loss of fortune In traditional Chinese culture, giving a wallet as a gift means giving away all your money and you might lose all your finances and luck. However, it is no problem to give a wallet to your family member who already shares your money. Handkerchiefs—Saying goodbye forever Handkerchiefs are a symbol of saying goodbye forever. Giving someone a gift like this means you are saying goodbye forever. Umbrellas—Break up Umbrellas are a bad idea to give as gifts, because the Chinese word for “umbrella” sounds like the word for “breaking up”. Giving somebody an umbrella may mean that you feel your relationship has broken. Sharp objects—Cut off relationship Giving anything sharp, such as a knife or scissors, is also a bad idea, because it means cutting off the relationship. A common Chinese saying “one cut and it is in two parts” means the end of a relationship between people. Shoes—Evil Shoes are a bad idea as a present for Chinese New Year because the Chinese word for “shoes” sounds exactly like a word for bad luck or “evil”. 57．Which is the wrong gift for Chinese New year? A．A book. B．A wallet. C．A bike. 58．What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “finances”? A．财源 B．良心 C．人品 59．How does your friend feel if you give him/her sharp objects on Chinese New Year? A．Happy. B．Sad. C．Excited. 60．Why can’t shoes be given as a Chinese New Year gift? A．Because shoes are hard to match with a person’s feet. B．Because people don’t like wearing new shoes. C．Because “giving shoes” means giving bad luck in Chinese culture. 61．What can we learn from the passage? A．Rome was not built in a day. B．No man is wise at all times. C．When in Rome, do as the Romans do. 【答案】57．B 58．A 59．B 60．C 61．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了五种不能作为新年礼物的东西。 57．细节理解题。根据“Wallet—Loss of fortune”可知，新年不能送钱包。故选B。 58．词句猜测题。根据“giving a wallet as a gift means giving away all your money”可知，送钱包作为礼物意味着送出你所有的钱，由此可猜测finances与金钱有关，意为“财源”。故选A。 59．推理判断题。根据“Giving anything sharp, such as a knife or scissors, is also a bad idea, because it means cutting off the relationship.”可知，送尖锐的物品意味着绝交，因此朋友会感到伤心。故选B。 60．细节理解题。根据“Shoes are a bad idea as a present for Chinese New Year because the Chinese word for ‘shoes’ sounds exactly like a word for bad luck or ‘evil’.”可知，鞋与邪同音，意为“邪恶的”，象征着厄运。故选C。 61．主旨大意题。根据“Celebrating Chinese New Year with Chinese friends can be great, but, because of the cultural gap, it can be really easy to give the wrong gift for Chinese New Year.”可知，送礼要遵守当地习俗，即“入乡随俗”。故选C。 常德津市市2023-2024学年八年级上学期期末考试英语试题 What do people usually like to do in their free time?

Lately, a university student left her smartphone in a restaurant. A man later picked it up. When the phone owner found the man, he asked for 2,000 yuan from the owner. He even said that he would delete (删去) all the information on the phone if the owner wouldn’t give him the money. The owner couldn’t provide the money, and she didn’t have to. The police suggested that the owner should file a lawsuit (起诉) against the man. According to the Civil Code (《民法典》), when you find something by accident, you must not keep it as your own. You can either tell the owner to come and get it if you can reach him or her. Or you can hand it over to the police. In one situation the finder can get money from the owner. By law, the owner should give back any money the finder had to spend for safekeeping. The owner should also cover the cost of the finder’s traveling when he or she returns the lost thing. Other than this, the finder shouldn’t ask for more money, such as a reward (奖励) for giving it back. If the finder keeps the lost things on purpose (有目的), he or she may face up to two years in prison (监狱) if the lost things are very valuable. 70．What should the student do to get her phone back?

Or you can hand it over to the police.”可知，拾到者可以把东西给警察。故选B。 72．推理判断题。根据“By law, the owner should give back any money the finder had to spend for safekeeping. The owner should also cover the cost of the finder’s traveling when he or she returns the lost thing.”可知，根据法律规定，失主应该返还拾到者为保管物品而花的钱；失主归还失物时，还应当赔偿拾到者的旅费。由此推知，“拾到者为归还物品花钱求助”是可以向失主要钱的。故选C。 73．词句猜测题。根据“he or she may face up to two years in prison (监狱) if the lost things are very valuable.”可知，面临最高两年的监禁，说明失物非常的贵重；valuable表示“贵重的”。故选A。 永州市双牌县2023-2024学年八年级上学期期末考试英语试题 ①Feelings are difficult to do with, especially for a 4-year-old who doesn’t know why his mum won’t let him eat another cookie and an 8-year-old who is unhappy that his dad got called back to work and has to leave the playground early. ②For parents, it’s very important to begin teaching kids about their feelings as early as possible because their feelings influence (影响) every choice they make. Kids who understand their feelings are less probably act out by getting angry or fighting with others.

When young children can understand other people’s feelings, they are less likely to do bad things to them. For example, if a child knows that pushing his friend to the ground may make his friend mad and sad, he will do so less. ⑤Teaching a kid about feelings will help him become mentally (精神上) strong.

But that doesn’t stop the fishermen of Songyuan City in Jilin Province. Each morning, they get up early and rush to Chagan Lake with a group of horses. The fishermen use the horses to help pull fishing nets out of the frozen (结冰的) lake. For centuries, those living around Chagan Lake have kept alive the tradition of ice fishing. They dig holes through the thick ice and use a huge net to catch winter fish in the freezing waters. This special method has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). Every year in December, there is a winter fishing festival, which marks the beginning of the winter fishing season. Over 20 activities are held during the festival, such as winter sports competitions, nature watching, and the selling of the first-caught fish. None of the tourists at this year’s festival would ever imagine that Chagan Lake used to be only tens of square kilometers in size. In the past, there was little rainfall and the lake grew smaller over time. Also, overfishing is one of the main reasons. To bring Chagan Lake’s beauty back, the government used a lot of different methods. They brought in water from the Songhua River, grew more plants, and kept the water clean. The lake now covers about 500 square kilometers, and fish numbers have returned to a normal level. Now, an increasing number of tourists flock to the lake each year to experience the ancient ice-fishing tradition. 98．What do the fishermen in Songyuan City use horses for? A．Pulling fishing nets. B．Digging holes in the ice. C．Racing on the frozen lake. 99．How do the fishermen catch fish in Chagan Lake? A．They use horses to break the ice and catch fish.

A．The government kept the water in Songhua River clean. B．The government brought in water from Songhua River. C．The government created a winter fishing tourist festival. 101．What does the underlined word “flock” in Paragraph 5 mean? A．Move in large numbers. B．Return in a good condition.

They brought in water from the Songhua River, grew more plants, and kept the water clean.”可知，为了恢复查干湖的美丽，政府采取了许多不同的方法。他们从松花江引进了水，种植了更多的植物，并保持了水的清洁。故选B。 101．词句猜测题。根据“Now, an increasing number of tourists flock to the lake each year to experience the ancient ice-fishing tradition.”可知，现在，每年都有越来越多的游客涌向湖边，体验古老的冰上捕鱼传统。由此可知，flock意为“蜂拥而至，聚集”，即move in large number。故选A。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！22 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！22 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
