He would eat nothing much else but cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. One day, Howie's mother told him, "Your father and I will have a meeting tomorrow evening. You can play at Ashwin's home and even stay for dinner." "What?" Howie cried out before he could remember his manners. "I mean, that's great," he added unwillingly. Howie liked playing with his friend Ashwin, but there were no cheese sandwiches at Ashwin's home! "I know you are sensitive about being a picky eater, but you need to try new things. You can't eat sandwiches and tomato soup forever. I expect you to have good manners at Ashwin's home. It's rude to say no when someone offers you food, "his mother said. The next day, Howie followed Ashwin into Ashwin's home and they played together for some time. "Why do you keep checking the time? "Ashwin asked. "I just wondered if it was time for dinner,"Howie said. "Sure! Smell it! Yummy! "Ashwin said. Dinner was ready. Howie dragged(拖)his feet as he walked to his seat. The food on the table was much more colorful than his usual dinner. He had a sinking feeling in his stomach. How in the world could he eat this meal? "Try it," Ashwin's mother said. Howie wished he could say no, but he knew his mother expected him to try it. He scooped up a tiny bit of rice and put it in his mouth, "Wow, it's delicious!" After Howie went home, he told his mother the food he tried at Ashwin's home was delicious! She was happy to know Howie behaved so politely and was willing to try some new foods. She said, "Is it possible that my picky eater is gone forever?" "I think so!" Howie smiled. 41. What did Howie's mom expect him to do at Ashwin s home? A. To have good manners. B. To follow Ashwin all the time. C. To eat sandwiches or tomato soup. D. To say no when he was offered food. 42. Howie kept checking the time because_______________.

A. He doesn't get along well with Ashwin. B. He prefers rice to cheese sandwiches. C. He won't be a picky eater anymore. D. He often asks his mom for advice. C Everyone wants to be well-liked. As humans, we are born with the need to be valued and liked by others. Being part of a group has been necessary in a lot of ways. Connection is a basic human need. Many people feel as though they have to be a certain way to be well-liked. They think others will like them more if they put their best selves forward, don’t make mistakes, and always know the right thing to say. However, some surprising science may be putting all this in question. The Pratfall Effect It turns out that people who never make mistakes are actually less likeable. According to an experiment by Elliot Aronson in the 1960s, people who made a small blunder, such as dropping coffee over their shirt, were considered more likeable than those who didn’t. This was only true for people who were considered competent (有能力的) in the first place, though. This phenomenon (现象) was termed the Pratfall Effect. The Pratfall Effect shows that it’s not only okay to make mistakes, but it can actually be helpful to us. Vulnerability (weakness) is endearing (讨人喜欢的). It helps us form connections with others. When we understand where someone is coming from an connection with them, we develop a deep emotional bond and like them more. Apply this to your own life You can use this information to your advantage. Firstly, it’s important to know likeability depends on context. What someone finds endearing in one situation may not work in another, and different people might find different qualities more likeable. Sometimes the things we dislike the most about ourselves are the most endearing to others. The same can be true for the opposite. Just be your true self and people will find what they love most about you. Secondly, vulnerability is a good thing. Sharing the most inner, real parts of yourselves can create meaningful connections. Pretending (假装) to be perfect is not something that people find endearing. But opening up is something that people can easily connect with. Likeability is not as straightforward as you might think. What you think makes you more likeable might actually make you less likeable. Stop pretending you never make mistakes. It’s the best path to a true and meaningful human connection. 44. What can we learn from the Pratfall Effect? A. Life experience can be enriched by making mistakes. B. The fear of making mistakes makes people more careful. C. People who make small mistakes may turn out to be more likeable. D. The ability to learn from mistakes makes a person more competent. 45. What is the writer’s opinion on vulnerability? A. It leads us to the right way to be perfect. B It works as a smart way to express our opinions. C. It makes other people feel better about themselves. D. It helps us form meaningful connections with others. 46. The writer suggests that we should stay true to ourselves because ________. A. likeability varies in different cases B. no one can be perfect C. we should accept and like who we are D. it’s hard to pretend all the time 47. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. A Secret to Improving Your Quality of Life B. A Key to Being Likeable When Making Mistakes C. The Possible Benefits of Building up Connections D. The Surprising Science Behind Being Well-liked D Have you ever bought a new car and started noticing the exact color and model of car everywhere? Has that type of car just become popular in your city? Were they there before? Or are you just going crazy? You’re not going crazy. The reason you are now just noticing them is what psychologists call “priming”. Basically, the cars were always there. You just didn’t recognize them consciously (有意识地). However, when that certain model of car becomes part of your conscious thinking, you start “automatically” recognizing all of the other cars that are the same, because you are already “primed” to do so. The priming effect takes many forms. In one study, students were asked to walk around a room for 5 minutes at a rate of 30 steps per minute, which was about one-third their normal pace (步速). After this brief experience, the participants were much quicker to recognize words related to old age, such as forgetful, old, and lonely. Reciprocal priming effects tend to produce a coherent reaction: if you are primed to think of old age, you would tend to act old, and acting old would strengthen the thought of old age. This research shows that the way we think influences the way we act, and the way we act influences the way we think. A similar conclusion was reached by the American psychologist William James a century ago, but he emphasized (强调) the effect on feeling. “Actions seem to follow feeling, but really actions and feeling go together; and by regulating (管理) the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not. Thus the path to cheerfulness, should our cheerfulness be lost, is to sit up cheerfully and to act and speak as if cheerfulness were already there.” So, that’s it. If you want to be happy, just sit up and act happy. Based on these scientific findings, we can take certain priming effects to help make ourselves continuously happier. One thing we have in common is our ability to think, and thus feel. Pleasant thoughts have been proven to produce the chemicals that make us feel happy, particularly thoughts and feelings of gratitude. When we purposefully (有目的地) go through and think about the things we’re grateful for and purposely feel as much gratitude as we can, we are flooding our mind with the “happy chemicals”. Furthermore, by consciously thinking, feeling and expressing gratitude, we will not only be happier in the moment, we will be “primed” to recognize the things in our life to appreciate. Each time this happens, the “happy chemicals” will be produced. Do this every day and we will become continuously happier. This makes up for the short-term happiness we get from eating chocolate or buying new clothes. More than that, combining thoughts of gratitude with happy acts like smiling and laughing will have a supplementary (补偿性地) positive effect on our state of mind. 48. Which of the following is an example of the priming effect? A. Walking much faster after attending a lecture about old age. B. Giving money to the poor after seeing pictures of cute cats. C. Learning about different types of cars after buying the first car. D. Completing SO P as SOUP rather than SOAP after seeing the word EAT. 49. What does the underlined word “reciprocal” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Related. B. Two-way. C. Well-rounded. D. Opposite. 50. What will the author probably agree with? A Eating or shopping leads to continuous feelings of happiness. B. Our will has greater control over emotions than over actions. C. Happy chemicals make us think about the things we’re grateful for. D. Practicing gratitude frequently prepares us for long-term happiness. 51. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Prime Yourself to Be Happier B. Share Happiness to Enhance Wellbeing C. Why Gratitude Is Important in Psychology D. How Happy Chemicals Affect People’s Thoughts 四、（52-55每小题2分，56小题4分，共12分） 阅读表达 The Sport of Concentration Every day, it seems, a new gadget (设备) promises to help me run farther and faster, sleep better, or monitor my heart rate more effectively. These gadgets claim they’ll make me a “better me,” or so the story goes. Some of them might actually help, but a few months ago, I decided to sell all my sports gadgets. I now record my running times with just a pen and a notepad. Soon after, I started training for a marathon the old-fashioned way—without a device on my wrist tracking my pace or heart rate. To my surprise, running without all that information turned out to be a real joy. In the past, whenever my smartwatch told me I was running slower than I “should,” I’d force myself to speed up, even if it was clear that my body didn’t want to. But this time, I ran the way I wanted to. On several occasions, I was surprised to see real breakthroughs (突破) in my running times when I checked my notepad after workouts. If I had seen those numbers during the run, I might have slowed down. But since I didn’t know, I just kept running. Another positive thing about getting rid of all my running gadgets is that it’s helping me concentrate (集中注意力) more on the running itself. Since I no longer feel like I need technology to run well, I can go out and run without worrying about battery life. So, what’s the lesson here? Well, we could very easily replace the example of running with writing, studying, or anything else. No matter what it is, the more we worry about improving, the more it hurts our performance. Should you stop using technology to “improve” your performance? Of course, that’s up to you. However, if I were asked that question, I’d certainly say that I’m better off without it. 52. When did the writer decide to sell all of the sports gadgets? ________________________________________ 53. How does the writer record running times now? ________________________________________ 54. What is another positive thing about not using running gadgets anymore? ________________________________________ 55. What does the writer learn from the example of running? ________________________________________ 56. What do you think of sports gadgets? Why do you think so? (give at least 2 reasons) ________________________________________ 五、根据中文意思和英文提示词语写出句子（每小题2分，共10分） 57. 明天北京可能会下雪。（may）（汉译英） ________________________________________ 58. 为什么不向老师们寻求建议呢?（ask for）（汉译英） ________________________________________ 59. 我每天走路上学需要花 10分钟。（take）（汉译英） ________________________________________ 60. 我每天早到就是为了有时间热身。（so that）（汉译英） ________________________________________ 61. 北京是中国最繁忙的城市之一。（one of）（汉译英） ________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 北师大实验中学2024-2025年度八年级下学期 英语开学摸底测试 考生须知 1. 本试卷12页，共5道大题，61道小题；答题纸共2页。满分100分，考试时间40分钟。 2. 在试卷和答题卡上准确填写班级、姓名、学号。 3. 试卷答案一律填写在答题卡上，在试卷上作答无效。 4. 在答题卡上，选择题须用2B铅笔将选中项涂黑涂满，其他试题 用黑色字迹签字笔作答。 一、单项选择（每小题1.5分，共24分） 1. —Jack, thank you for the flowers. —It’s all right I hope you like _______.

As humans, we are born with the need to be valued and liked by others. Being part of a group has been necessary in a lot of ways. Connection is a basic human need. Many people feel as though they have to be a certain way to be well-liked. They think others will like them more if they put their best selves forward, don’t make mistakes, and always know the right thing to say. However, some surprising science may be putting all this in question. The Pratfall Effect It turns out that people who never make mistakes are actually less likeable. According to an experiment by Elliot Aronson in the 1960s, people who made a small blunder, such as dropping coffee over their shirt, were considered more likeable than those who didn’t. This was only true for people who were considered competent (有能力的) in the first place, though. This phenomenon (现象) was termed the Pratfall Effect. The Pratfall Effect shows that it’s not only okay to make mistakes, but it can actually be helpful to us. Vulnerability (weakness) is endearing (讨人喜欢的). It helps us form connections with others. When we understand where someone is coming from an connection with them, we develop a deep emotional bond and like them more. Apply this to your own life You can use this information to your advantage. Firstly, it’s important to know likeability depends on context. What someone finds endearing in one situation may not work in another, and different people might find different qualities more likeable. Sometimes the things we dislike the most about ourselves are the most endearing to others. The same can be true for the opposite. Just be your true self and people will find what they love most about you. Secondly, vulnerability is a good thing. Sharing the most inner, real parts of yourselves can create meaningful connections. Pretending (假装) to be perfect is not something that people find endearing. But opening up is something that people can easily connect with. Likeability is not as straightforward as you might think. What you think makes you more likeable might actually make you less likeable. Stop pretending you never make mistakes. It’s the best path to a true and meaningful human connection. 44. What can we learn from the Pratfall Effect? A. Life experience can be enriched by making mistakes. B. The fear of making mistakes makes people more careful. C. People who make small mistakes may turn out to be more likeable. D. The ability to learn from mistakes makes a person more competent. 45. What is the writer’s opinion on vulnerability? A. It leads us to the right way to be perfect. B. It works as a smart way to express our opinions. C. It makes other people feel better about themselves. D. It helps us form meaningful connections with others. 46. The writer suggests that we should stay true to ourselves because ________. A. likeability varies in different cases B. no one can be perfect C. we should accept and like who we are D. it’s hard to pretend all the time 47. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. A Secret to Improving Your Quality of Life B. A Key to Being Likeable When Making Mistakes C. The Possible Benefits of Building up Connections D. The Surprising Science Behind Being Well-liked 【答案】44. C 45. D 46. A 47.

Has that type of car just become popular in your city? Were they there before? Or are you just going crazy? You’re not going crazy. The reason you are now just noticing them is what psychologists call “priming”. Basically, the cars were always there. You just didn’t recognize them consciously (有意识地). However, when that certain model of car becomes part of your conscious thinking, you start “automatically” recognizing all of the other cars that are the same, because you are already “primed” to do so. The priming effect takes many forms. In one study, students were asked to walk around a room for 5 minutes at a rate of 30 steps per minute, which was about one-third their normal pace (步速). After this brief experience, the participants were much quicker to recognize words related to old age, such as forgetful, old, and lonely. Reciprocal priming effects tend to produce a coherent reaction: if you are primed to think of old age, you would tend to act old, and acting old would strengthen the thought of old age. This research shows that the way we think influences the way we act, and the way we act influences the way we think. A similar conclusion was reached by the American psychologist William James a century ago, but he emphasized (强调) the effect on feeling. “Actions seem to follow feeling, but really actions and feeling go together; and by regulating (管理) the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not. Thus the path to cheerfulness, should our cheerfulness be lost, is to sit up cheerfully and to act and speak as if cheerfulness were already there.” So, that’s it. If you want to be happy, just sit up and act happy. Based on these scientific findings, we can take certain priming effects to help make ourselves continuously happier. One thing we have in common is our ability to think, and thus feel. Pleasant thoughts have been proven to produce the chemicals that make us feel happy, particularly thoughts and feelings of gratitude. When we purposefully (有目的地) go through and think about the things we’re grateful for and purposely feel as much gratitude as we can, we are flooding our mind with the “happy chemicals”. Furthermore, by consciously thinking, feeling and expressing gratitude, we will not only be happier in the moment, we will be “primed” to recognize the things in our life to appreciate. Each time this happens, the “happy chemicals” will be produced. Do this every day and we will become continuously happier. This makes up for the short-term happiness we get from eating chocolate or buying new clothes. More than that, combining thoughts of gratitude with happy acts like smiling and laughing will have a supplementary (补偿性地) positive effect on our state of mind. 48. Which of the following is an example of the priming effect? A. Walking much faster after attending a lecture about old age. B. Giving money to the poor after seeing pictures of cute cats. C. Learning about different types of cars after buying the first car. D. Completing SO P as SOUP rather than SOAP after seeing the word EAT. 49. What does the underlined word “reciprocal” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Related. B. Two-way. C. Well-rounded. D. Opposite. 50. What will the author probably agree with? A. Eating or shopping leads to continuous feelings of happiness. B. Our will has greater control over emotions than over actions. C. Happy chemicals make us think about the things we’re grateful for. D. Practicing gratitude frequently prepares us for long-term happiness. 51. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Prime Yourself to Be Happier B. Share Happiness to Enhance Wellbeing C. Why Gratitude Is Important in Psychology D. How Happy Chemicals Affect People’s Thoughts 【答案】48. D 49. B 50. D 51. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了心理学中的“启动效应”，通过有意识地思考、感受和表达感恩，我们能让自己更快乐。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据“when that certain model of car becomes part of your conscious thinking, you start ‘automatically’ recognizing all of the other cars that are the same, because you are already ‘primed’ to do so”可知，启动效应指的是当某个事物成为有意识思维的一部分时，你会自动识别与之相关的其他事物。选项D“看到‘EAT’一词后，将‘SO P’填写成‘SOUP’而非‘SOAP’ ”是因为“EAT”引发了对食物相关事物的联想，影响了认知，符合启动效应。故选D。 【49题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“if you are primed to think of old age, you would tend to act old, and acting old would strengthen the thought of old age”可知，思维和行为相互影响，是双向的。Two-way意为“双向的”。故选B。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据“by consciously thinking, feeling and expressing gratitude, we will not only be happier in the moment, we will be ‘primed’ to recognize the things in our life to appreciate. Each time this happens, the ‘happy chemicals’ will be produced. Do this every day and we will become continuously happier”可知，通过有意识地思考、感受和表达感恩，我们不仅能在当下更快乐，还会被“启动”，从而发现生活中值得感激的事物，每当这种情况发生时，就会产生“快乐化学物质”，每天都这样做，我们会越来越快乐。选项D“经常练习感恩能带来长期的幸福”与之相符。故选D。 【51题详解】 最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了心理学中的“启动效应”，通过有意识地思考、感受和表达感恩，我们能让自己更快乐。选项A“启动自我，让自己更快乐”与之相符。故选A。 四、（52-55每小题2分，56小题4分，共12分） 阅读表达 The Sport of Concentration Every day, it seems, a new gadget (设备) promises to help me run farther and faster, sleep better, or monitor my heart rate more effectively. These gadgets claim they’ll make me a “better me,” or so the story goes. Some of them might actually help, but a few months ago, I decided to sell all my sports gadgets. I now record my running times with just a pen and a notepad. Soon after, I started training for a marathon the old-fashioned way—without a device on my wrist tracking my pace or heart rate. To my surprise, running without all that information turned out to be a real joy. In the past, whenever my smartwatch told me I was running slower than I “should,” I’d force myself to speed up, even if it was clear that my body didn’t want to. But this time, I ran the way I wanted to. On several occasions, I was surprised to see real breakthroughs (突破) in my running times when I checked my notepad after workouts. If I had seen those numbers during the run, I might have slowed down. But since I didn’t know, I just kept running. Another positive thing about getting rid of all my running gadgets is that it’s helping me concentrate (集中注意力) more on the running itself. Since I no longer feel like I need technology to run well, I can go out and run without worrying about battery life. So, what’s the lesson here? Well, we could very easily replace the example of running with writing, studying, or anything else. No matter what it is, the more we worry about improving, the more it hurts our performance. Should you stop using technology to “improve” your performance? Of course, that’s up to you. However, if I were asked that question, I’d certainly say that I’m better off without it. 52. When did the writer decide to sell all of the sports gadgets? ________________________________________ 53. How does the writer record running times now? ________________________________________ 54. What is another positive thing about not using running gadgets anymore? ________________________________________ 55. What does the writer learn from the example of running? ________________________________________ 56. What do you think of sports gadgets? Why do you think so? (give at least 2 reasons) ________________________________________ 【答案】52. A few months ago. 53. The writer now records running times with just a pen and a notepad. 54. It’s helping the writer concentrate more on the running itself. 55. No matter what it is the more time we spend worrying about how to make ourselves better at something, the more our performance is affected. 56. I agree with the writer. I think they’re not necessary for me. Because I don’t need technology to run well, I can go out and run without worrying about whether everything has enough battery power. / I think they are helpful for me. Because I can know the data from sports gadgets and improve my performance from time to time. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要是作者结合自己跑步的经历告诉我们，与其依赖那些计数设备来记录跑步的情况，不如专心地跑步，因为让自己在某件事上做得更好的时间越多，我们的表现就越受影响。 【52题详解】 根据“but a few months ago, I decided to sell all my sports gadgets.”可知，几个月前，作者决定决定卖掉所有的运动设备，故填A few months ago. 【53题详解】 根据“I now record my running times with just a pen and a notepad.”可知，作者现在仅仅用一支笔和一个记事本来记录跑步次数，故填The writer now records running times with just a pen and a notepad.。 【54题详解】 根据“ Another positive thing about getting rid of all my running gadgets is that it’s helping me concentrate (集中注意力) more on the running itself.”可知，另一个摆脱所有跑步设备的好处是，它帮助作者更专注于跑步本身，故填It’s helping the writer concentrate more on the running itself. 【55题详解】 根据“No matter what it is the more time we spend worrying about how to make ourselves better at something, the more our performance is affected.”可知，这让作者明白无论如何，我们花在如何让自己在某件事上做得更好的时间越多，我们的表现就越受影响，故填No matter what it is the more time we spend worrying about how to make ourselves better at something, the more our performance is affected. 【56题详解】 开放性题，表达自己对运动设备都看法，答案合理即可，故填I agree with the writer.
