江苏省南通市海安市十三校2023-2024学年联考八年级下学期 5月月考英语试卷 一、单选题：本大题共10小题，共10分。 1. We often have some trouble________ to people with intellectual disabilities. A. talk B. to talk C. talking D. talked 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们在与有智力障碍的人交谈时常常会遇到一些困难。 考查非谓语动词。have trouble (in) doing sth.“做某事有困难”，其中介词“in”可以省略，所以这里应用动名词形式talking。故选C。 2. The Olympic Games ________ every four years, and the 33rd Olympics ________ in Paris. A. took place; will be held B. take place; will be held C. take place; will hold D. took place; Will hold 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意： 奥运会每四年举行一次，第33届奥运会将在巴黎举行。 考查时态和语态。第一空根据“every four years”可知，描述经常性动作，用一般现在时，主语是“The Olympic Games” ，谓语动词用原形；第二空“The Olympic Games”是hold的动作承受者，此处用一般将来时，所以第二空是一般将来时的被动语态，用will be done，故选B。 3. We students can _______ food and old clothes to the homeless people, and the teachers can ________ learning skills for the poor children. A. provide; give B. provide; offer C. offer; give D. give; provide 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们学生能为无家可归的人提供食物和旧衣服。老师能为贫困孩子提供学习技能。 考查动词的用法。provide sth for sb =provide sb with sth为某人提供某物。give sb sth= give sth to sb,把某物给某人。结合句意，故选D。 4. I feel it hard to catch up with my classmate in English. But whenever I want to ________, my English teacher always encourages me to work harder. A. give out B. give up C. give off D. give back 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：我感觉很难跟上我的同学们。但是一当我想要放弃时，我的老师总是鼓励我努力学习。 考查动词短语辨析。give out 分发，用尽； give up 放弃；give off 发出；give back 归还。根据“my English teacher always encourages me to work harder”可知，想放弃时，老师都给予鼓励，故选B。 5. —Is your father in? —No, he ________ Shanghai on business for three days. A. has gone to B. has been in C. has been to D. has arrived in 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你的爸爸在家吗？——不，他已经在上海出差三天了。 考查短语辨析。has gone to去了某地，还没回来；has been in待在某地；has been to去过某地，已经回来；has arrived in到达。根据“for three days”可知，此处应该跟延续性动词或短语连用，只有B项符合，故选B。 6. It is generous ____him _____so much money to the people in poor areas. A. of, to raise B. for, to raise C. for, to donate D. of, to donate 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：他把如此多的钱捐给贫困地区的孩子们真是非常慷慨的。 It’s+adj.+of sb. to do sth.与It’s+adj.+for sb. to do sth的区别在于，如果形容词是修饰人的，如友好的，大方的等就用of；如果形容词是描写事物性质的，如事情的难易程度、重要性等就用for,本题中generous慷慨的，是修饰人的形容词，所以应该用of；又因为“给某人捐献某物”为donate sth. to sb.，故选D。 【点睛】1. It is +adj.+for sb.+to do sth.对于某人来说做某事是怎么样的。此句型中，“for me”表示“对于某人来说”。注意be后面一定是描写事物性质的形容词。例如important(重要的)，necessary(必要的)，difficult(困难的)，easy(容易的)，hard(艰难的)，dangerous(危险的)，safe(安全的)，useful(有益的)，pleasant(舒适的)，interesting(有趣的)，impossible(不可能的)，right(正确的)，convenient（方便的）等等。 2. It is +adj.+of sb.+to do sth.表示某人做某事真是太怎么样了。此句型中的形容词一定是描述人的品质的。例如good(好的)，kind(友善的)，nice(友好的)，polite(有礼貌的)，clever(聪明的)，foolish(愚蠢的)，stupid（愚蠢的），lazy(懒惰的)，right(正直的)，careful(细心的)，careless(粗心的)，brave（勇敢的），cruel（残酷的）， honest（诚实的），naughty（淘气的），rude（粗鲁的）等。 7. ---If somebody is _____your way, what will you do? --- I will wait until he or she moves instead of pushing past. A. in B. on C. along D. by 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：--如果有人挡了你的路，你会怎么做?—我会等他或她走过去而不是抢道。 in one’s/the way 挡道；on one’s/ the way在…路上；along the way沿着这条路；by the way顺便提一下。根据答语可知是挡道，故选A。 【点睛】关于way的短语：in this way 用这种方法 ；best way 最佳方法；by the way 顺便说说,顺便问一下；on the way 在……途中 ；in the way 妨碍；挡道 ；by way 经由；that way 那样,那边 ；no way 决不；same way 同样的方法；all the way 一路上，自始至终；any way 无论如何。 8. —John didn’t stop looking for a job ________ he got an offer from a German company. — Lucky him.

A. until B. while C. since D. if 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意： —— 约翰一直在找工作，直到他得到一家德国公司的录用通知。 —— 他很幸运。现在找一份好工作不容易。 考查连词辨析。until直到；while当……时候；since自从；if如果。根据“John didn’t stop looking for a job”以及“he got an offer from a German company”可知，此处指的是约翰一直在找工作，直到收到德国公司的录用通知才停止，not...until...表示“直到……才……”，符合语境。故选A。 9. — Lisa, I know you’re confident about getting that job but remember __________. So why don’t you send your application forms to a few more companies? — Sounds good!

One evening Friday went out to look for food. But soon he was back, and he looked very afraid. “Master! Master!” he cried, “There’s a great ship near the island, and men are coming to the shore in a boat!” I jumped up and ran with him down to the shore. I saw that it was an English ship! But why was it here? English ships never came this way. Perhaps they were pirates (海盗)! “Don’t let them see you, Friday!” I called, “We’ll hide in the trees and watch.” There were eleven men in the boat, but three of them were prisoners (囚犯). Their arms were tied with rope, but their legs were free and they could walk. The other sailors pushed the three prisoners up the beach, laughing and shouting and hitting them. The three prisoners walked slowly along the beach and sat down under a tree, not far from us. They looked very unhappy. Very quietly, I came up behind them through the trees, and called out to them in English. “Don’t be afraid,” I said. “I’m an Englishman. Perhaps I can help you.” The three men turned and looked at me. They did not answer at once. They were too surprised. Perhaps they thought I was a wild man myself, in my strange clothes made of animals’ skins, and with my long hair and beard. Then the oldest man spoke, “I am the captain of that ship,” he said, “and these two men are my first and second officers. Last night there was a mutiny (叛乱), and the seamen took the ship from me. Now they’re going to leave the three of us here, to die on this island.” “Do these mutineers (叛军) have guns?” “Only two,” he answered, “and they’ve left those on the boat.” “All right,” I said. “We’ll fight them. But if we get your ship back for you, you must take me back to England.” Friday ran back to my house to get all the guns, and the captain and I made a plan. 33.

Because he was caught by the mutineers. B. Because the ship was taken by the mutineers. C. Because a mutiny happened on the ship. D. Because maybe it was a chance for me to leave the island. 【答案】33.

I was finishing high school. While I was looking forward to my college years, I also felt a strong desire to volunteer abroad. After weeks of serious consideration, I decided to have a gap year (间隔年). I cannot tell you how many hours I spent trying to find the programme I was most interested in. I contacted many volunteer organizations. In the end, I signed up with “African Impact”. I wanted to make an impact (影响)—no matter how small—on Africa and its people. I took part in the Child Care Project. We worked in an orphanage (孤儿院) in Cape Town (开普敦) and spent time with a group of orphans (孤儿) between the ages of 0 and 3. There was nothing as exciting as seeing a baby taking her first steps, hearing a two-year-old girl repeat all of the letters in the alphabet after I said them, seeing a little boy kick or catch balls of different sizes, and watching all of the kids carefully wash their hands as it became a habit. These were the skills that I watched the children develop during my time there. My heart was filled with pride. I also took part in the Teaching Project and worked in a preschool. Teaching was more tiring. Some children were naughty. They didn’t always listen to me. But it’s hard to describe the joy I felt when the kids finally understood what I was trying to teach them. Volunteering in Cape Town changed my life. It has changed who I am as a person. I cannot be more grateful for this amazing experience. 37. What organization did the author sign up with after lots of consideration? A. African Impact. B. Teaching Project. C. Homeless Care Project. D. Volunteering in Cape Town. 38. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us? A. The people the author worked with in the orphanage. B. The lessons the project provided for the children in Cape Town. C. The volunteer experience the author had in the Child Care Project. D. The reasons the author chose to spend time with some orphans. 39. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The author didn’t think a lot before going to Africa. B. The author didn’t get on well with the students in the preschool. C. The author was very satisfied with his or her teaching in the preschool. D. The author looked forward to studying at a good college in Africa. 40. What does the author think of the volunteering experience? A. Exciting but boring. B. Tiring and useless. C. Meaningful and amazing. D. Interesting but very hard. 【答案】37. A 38. C 39. C 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者在开普敦做志愿者的经历。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In the end, I signed up with ‘African Impact’”可知，作者最后参加的组织为“African Impact”。故选A。 【38题详解】 段落大意题。根据“I took part in the Child Care Project.”及本段内容可知，本段主要讲述了作者在儿童保育项目中的志愿者经历。故选C。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But it’s hard to describe the joy I felt when the kids finally understood what I was trying to teach them.”可知，作者对自己在幼儿园的教学工作非常满意。故选C。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Volunteering in Cape Town changed my life.

One evening Friday went out to look for food. But soon he was back, and he looked very afraid. “Master! Master!” he cried, “There’s a great ship near the island, and men are coming to the shore in a boat!” I jumped up and ran with him down to the shore. I saw that it was an English ship! But why was it here? English ships never came this way. Perhaps they were pirates (海盗)! “Don’t let them see you, Friday!” I called, “We’ll hide in the trees and watch.” There were eleven men in the boat, but three of them were prisoners (囚犯). Their arms were tied with rope, but their legs were free and they could walk. The other sailors pushed the three prisoners up the beach, laughing and shouting and hitting them. The three prisoners walked slowly along the beach and sat down under a tree, not far from us. They looked very unhappy. Very quietly, I came up behind them through the trees, and called out to them in English. “Don’t be afraid,” I said. “I’m an Englishman. Perhaps I can help you.” The three men turned and looked at me. They did not answer at once. They were too surprised. Perhaps they thought I was a wild man myself, in my strange clothes made of animals’ skins, and with my long hair and beard. Then the oldest man spoke “I am the captain of that ship,” he said, “and these two men are my first and second officers. Last night there was a mutiny (叛乱), and the seamen took the ship from me. Now they’re going to leave the three of us here, to die on this island.” “Do these mutineers (叛军) have guns?” “Only two,” he answered, “and they’ve left those on the boat.” “All right,” I said. “We’ll fight them. But if we get your ship back for you, you must take me back to England.” Friday ran back to my house to get all the guns, and the captain and I made a plan. 33. How did Friday feel when he saw an English ship coming towards the island? A. Relaxed. B. Excited. C. Angry. D. Afraid. 34. What is the correct order of the following events? a. The three prisoners sat under a tree on the beach. b. The writer and Friday saw a ship coming to their island. c. The writer managed to talk with the three prisoners. d. The mutineers took the ship from the three prisoners. A. b-a-c-d B. b-c-a-d C. d-b-a-c D. d-a-b-c 35. Which of the following is true about the writer? A. He himself was a wild man indeed. B. He hoped to get away from the island. C. He lived on the island alone for 27 years. D. He could fight the mutineers without guns. 36. Why did “I” help the captain? A. Because he was caught by the mutineers. B. Because the ship was taken by the mutineers. C. Because a mutiny happened on the ship. D. Because maybe it was a chance for me to leave the island. A volunteer experience It was March 2018. I was finishing high school. While I was looking forward to my college years, I also felt a strong desire to volunteer abroad. After weeks of serious consideration, I decided to have a gap year (间隔年). I cannot tell you how many hours I spent trying to find the programme I was most interested in. I contacted many volunteer organizations. In the end, I signed up with “African Impact”. I wanted to make an impact (影响)—no matter how small—on Africa and its people. I took part in the Child Care Project. We worked in an orphanage (孤儿院) in Cape Town (开普敦) and spent time with a group of orphans (孤儿) between the ages of 0 and 3. There was nothing as exciting as seeing a baby taking her first steps, hearing a two-year-old girl repeat all of the letters in the alphabet after I said them, seeing a little boy kick or catch balls of different sizes, and watching all of the kids carefully wash their hands as it became a habit. These were the skills that I watched the children develop during my time there. My heart was filled with pride. I also took part in the Teaching Project and worked in a preschool. Teaching was more tiring. Some children were naughty. They didn’t always listen to me. But it’s hard to describe the joy I felt when the kids finally understood what I was trying to teach them. Volunteering in Cape Town changed my life. It has changed who I am as a person. I cannot be more grateful for this amazing experience. 37.
