I chose it because I thought a cartoon movie would be good for her. Everything was going just fine and Bambi was so lovely. However, when man killed Bambi’s mother, my daughter became very sad and asked to go home. So we left in the middle of the movie.

The cartoon was like an action movie for adults! The next time you take a kid to the movie theater, be careful. Maybe a cartoon isn’t the best. You should take the time to watch it first.

But under your feet, both on land and in the water, there are many smaller organisms (微生物 ): insects, tiny plants, miniature sea creatures. They may seem unimportant, but, in fact, these sea creatures and ground dwellers are “the heart of life on Earth,” according to naturalist E. O. Wilson. Without them, our world would be a very different place. Most organisms on Earth live on the ground or just below it. Here, they are part of an important cycle. When plants and animals die, they fall to the ground. Later, tiny insects and other organisms break down the dead plant and animal material. This process eventually returns nutrients (养分) to the soil (土壤) and gives living plants energy. These plants can then help to maintain a healthy environment for humans and other animals. Despite their importance, scientists know very little about most ground organisms. To learn more, photographer David Littschwager went to different places around the world, including a forest and a coral reef. In each place, he put a green 30-centimeter box on the ground or in the water. Then he and his team counted and took photos of the organisms that lived in or moved through the box. Often they discovered hundreds of organisms, some only a millimeter in size. “It was like finding little gems(宝石),” he says. 31. In paragraph 1, what does the underlined word “miniature” mean? A. Very beautiful. B. Very small. C. Very important. D. Very famous. 32. Where do most organisms on Earth live? A. In the sea. B. On land or in the soil. C. In the air. D. In the plants and animals. 33. What can living plants help to maintain for humans and animals? A. Enough energy. B. Rich nutrients. C. A healthy environment. D. Many organisms. 34. Littschwager and his team used the box to _______. A. collect different animals for further study B. test the quality of the soil and water C. count and photograph organisms D. go to different places around the world 35. Why does Littschwager call the organisms “little gems”? A. There are a great number of them. B. They are very difficult for him to see. C. He thinks the organisms are small. D. They are small but quite important. 八年级英语试题第 6 页（共 10 页） D You may have experienced the feeling.Your mouth feels like it is on fire. Your eyes start to water. You just ate one of nature’s hottest foods—the chili pepper (辣椒)! Chili peppers, also called chilies, are found in dishes around the world. They are in dishes like Indian curries, Thai tom yum soup, and Mexican enchiladas. Chilies come from the capsicum plant. They are “hot” because they contain something called capsaicin. Capsaicin is very good for your health. It helps you breathe better, and it may even help keep you fit. Capsaicin makes you feel less hungry. It also makes your body burn more calories. We can measure the heat (辣度) of chilies in units called Scoville heat units (SHU). The world’s hottest chili is the Carolina Reaper. It sometimes measures up to 2 million SHU! Eating a hot chili can be uncomfortable, but some people love to eat them. Anandita Dutta Tamuly, a woman from Assam, India, became famous for eating chilies. She ate 51 hot peppers in just two minutes! The peppers were Naga Jolokia(“ghost peppers”). They grow in Assam and are the third-hottest chilies in the world. “I found eating chilies was a great way to stay healthy,” says Tamuly. She began eating chilies when she was a child. She eats chilies when she doesn’t feel well, too. “Every time I have a cold or flu, I just eat some chilies and I feel better. To be honest, I hardly notice them now.” 36. What does “it” refer to in paragraph 1? A. Chili pepper. B. Feeling. C. Water. D. Mouth. 37. What is the purpose of paragraph 3? A. To advise us not to eat more chilies. B. To explain how chilies are good for you. C. To show chillies are the hottest food. D. To explain why eating chilies is uncomfortable. 38. Which of the following is NOT true about Anandita Dutta Tamuly? A. She is famous for eating Carolina Reaper chilies. B. She eats chilies when she doesn’t feel comfortable. C. She started eating chilies when she was a child. D. She thought eating chilies was good for health. 39. In paragraph 6, the sentence I hardly notice them means _______ . A. I usually don’t eat hot chilies anymore. B. I feel the heat of the chilies even more. C. I almost don’t feel the heat of the chilies. D. I want to eat the world’s hottest chili. 40. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to eat very hot chili peppers. B. The facts about hot chili peppers. C. Ideas for cooking using chili peppers. D. Why people don’t like chili peppers. 八年级英语试题第 7 页（共 10 页） III. 阅读理解七选五 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项 中有两项为多余选项。(10 分) Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence. You do well enough in school, but you probably think you will never be a top student. 41 Here’s how to get good grades. Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a plan. Fill in committed time such as eating, sleeping, meetings, classes, etc. Then decide on good, regular time for studying. Be sure to spend enough time on your normal reading and work tasks. Of course, studying shouldn’t occupy(占用) all of the free time on the plan. 42 Make good use of your time in class. Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Sit where you can see and hear well. 43 Study regularly. 44 Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you remain confused about. If you review your notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. 45 The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t worry excessively about a single test. Tests provide grades, but they also let you know what you need to spend more time studying, and they help make your knowledge permanent. IV. 补全对话 阅读对话，从每题A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案完成对话(5分) A: Hi, Laura.

You just ate one of nature’s hottest foods—the chili pepper (辣椒)! Chili peppers, also called chilies, are found in dishes around the world. They are in dishes like Indian curries, Thai tom yum soup, and Mexican enchiladas. Chilies come from the capsicum plant. They are “hot” because they contain something called capsaicin. Capsaicin is very good for your health. It helps you breathe better, and it may even help keep you fit. Capsaicin makes you feel less hungry. It also makes your body burn more calories. We can measure the heat (辣度) of chilies in units called Scoville heat units (SHU). The world’s hottest chili is the Carolina Reaper. It sometimes measures up to 2 million SHU! Eating a hot chili can be uncomfortable, but some people love to eat them. Anandita Dutta Tamuly, a woman from Assam, India, became famous for eating chilies. She ate 51 hot peppers in just two minutes! The peppers were Naga Jolokia(“ghost peppers”). They grow in Assam and are the third-hottest chilies in the world. “I found eating chilies was a great way to stay healthy,” says Tamuly. She began eating chilies when she was a child.

Fill in committed time such as eating, sleeping, meetings, classes, etc. Then decide on good, regular time for studying. Be sure to spend enough time on your normal reading and work tasks. Of course, studying shouldn’t occupy(占用) all of the free time on the plan. 42 Make good use of your time in class. Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Sit where you can see and hear well. 43 Study regularly. 44 Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you remain confused about. If you review your notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. A. Find a good place to study. B. Develop a good attitude towards tests. C. It is best to make a weekly plan and follow it. D. Go over your notes as soon as you can after class. E. However, you can get better grades if you want to. F. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says. G. It’s important to spend time on relaxation, hobbies and so on. 45 The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t worry excessively about a single test. Tests provide grades, but they also let you know what you need to spend more time studying, and they help make your knowledge permanent. IV. 补全对话 阅读对话，从每题A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案完成对话(5分) A: Hi, Laura.
