Do you listen to music? Do you talk to a friend? Maybe next time you feel sad, you should try going outside if it is sunny. Doctors know that how much sunlight we get can change how we feel. Scientists learned this by interviewing people who live in different parts of the world. In the far north, in Alaska of Finland, for example, the days are very short in winter. People living in these places say that they often feel unhappy in winter. In the south, where there are more daylight hours, fewer people say they are unhappy in winter. The reason is the amount (数量) of sunlight these people get each day. Sunlight changes the chemicals (化学物) in our bodies, and these chemicals can change the way we feel. A couple of hours of strong sunlight or light from a special lamp can help your body make the chemicals that make us feel happy. Another way to feel happier is to get some exercise. Just like sunlight, regular exercise helps our bodies make certain chemicals, which make us feel happier. In addition, exercise helps people sleep better and lack of sleep often makes people feel unhappy. Exercise also helps you get rid of stress. When you are angry or upset about something, exercise is a good way to get those bad feelings out of you. 19. Why do people in the far north feel unhappy more often than people in the south? A. Because they can’t go outside. B. Because they get less sunlight. C. Because the weather is too cold. D. Because the summer is too short. 20. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph? A. It is better to live in the south. B. Southern people feel much happier. C. More sunlight can make us happier. D. Northern people often feel unhappy. 21. ________will probably not make you feel happier according to the passage. A. Living in different places B. Exercising more C. Getting enough sleep D. Getting more sunlight 22. What is the best title for this passage? A. Why Is Sunlight Good for You ? B. How Can Exercise Help You? C. Ways to Feel Happier D. Functions (作用) of Exercising More 【答案】19. B 20. C 21. A 22. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要是介绍了几种方法可以让自己变得更高兴些，以及这些方法起作用的原因。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Doctors know that howmuch sunlight we get can change how wefeel.”与“In the south, where there are more daylight hours, fewer people say they are unhappy in winter.”可知，医生们知道，我们得到多少阳光可以改变我们的感觉。以及在南方，白天时间更长，很少有人说他们冬天不开心。原因是这些人每天得到更多的阳光，使人感到快乐，而北方则相反。因此可以推断在北方人们不开心是因为得到的阳光少，故选B。 【20题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Doctors know that how much sunlight we get can change how we feel.”可知，医生们知道我们得到多少阳光可以改变我们的感觉，以及后面的描述，本段介绍了“阳光能改变人的感受”，阳光越多，人就越快乐。故选C。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据“A couple of hours of strong sunlight or light from a special lamp can help your body make the chemicals that make us feel happy.” “Another way tofeel happier is to get some exercise.”与“lack of sleepoften makes people feel unhappy.”可知，更多的阳光、加强锻炼和充足的睡眠都能使我们变得更快乐。文中没有提到住在不同地方这一项。故选A。 【22题详解】 最佳标题题。本文通篇主要是介绍了不高兴时该做些什么让自己变得高兴，C项“感到快乐的方法”适合做标题。故选C。 C Everyone has got two personalities (性格)—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret (秘密的) and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control yourself, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position (睡眠姿势) shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep. If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced (被影响) by new ideas. You don’t like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident. (自信的) If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you’re always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. If you sleep on curled up (蜷缩), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You’re shy and you don’t usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own. If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced (平衡的) personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don’t often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry. 23. You may find the passage in ________. A. a science magazine B. a guide book C. a sports newspaper D. a story book 24. Tina never tells her secrets to her friends. She probably goes to sleep ________. A. on curled up B. on her stomach C. on her back D. on her side 25. The underline word “defensive” means ________. A. 易怒的 B. 攻击性的 C. 外向的 D. 有戒心的 26. What does the passage tell us? A. Sleeping on your side is the best way of sleeping. B. Changing positions will cause sleeping problems. C. Sleeping positions show people’s secret personalities. D. Enough sleep makes people look better and healthier. 【答案】23. A 24. B 25. D 26. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了睡眠姿势和性格之间的关系。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。本文主要介绍了睡眠姿势和性格之间的关系，故文章可能出现在科学杂志上。故选A。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据“If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets”可知如果你趴着睡觉，你就是一个喜欢保守秘密的人。故选B。 【25题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive”可知你对自己的评价很低，经常保护自己不受伤害，所以你很有戒心，故此处划线部分意为“有戒心的”。故选D。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了睡眠姿势和性格之间的关系。故选C。 D Rob had problems with bullies (欺辱) at school for seven years. He was often scared and tired. When he was fifteen, however, he decided to do something about his problems. He walked into a newspaper office and told them about the bullying. His story went into the newspaper and soon all the TV stations in Canada wanted to talk to him about his experiences. After that, Rob continued his studies at school, but in his free time he helped other people with bullying problems. With a friend Katie, he made a website called www. bullyingcanada. ca. Visitors to the website can find advice, stories and poems about bullying, in both English and French. When people are upset, they can talk on the phone or online to Rob and his team. Every weekend Rob has to answer e-mails to the website. He also speaks to children, teachers and members of government around the country about bullying. Rob’s most important message is: “When bullies are unkind to you, it isn’t your fault. There’s nothing wrong with you, so you should try to keep trusting yourself. And remember that there are people caring about your problems. You just have to find those people.” One of Rob’s ideas is “Blue Day”, a special day for stopping bullying in schools. Students have to wear blue clothes and in class they learn how to stop bullying. More than 150 Canadian schools now celebrate Blue Day, but Rob won’t stop until there’s a Blue Day in every school in Canada. 27. How did Rob often feel at school before he was fifteen? A. Relaxed.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了15岁以前的Rob在学校被欺辱，15岁时他终于走进一家报社反映了自己的问题，后来又和朋友一起建立了帮助受欺辱的同学的网站，再后来号召学校设立“Blue Day”，一个在学校停止欺辱的专门日子，他说他将继续为此努力。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Rob had problems with bullies at school for seven years. He was often scared and tired.”可知Rob经常是害怕的，疲惫的，所以推断他是不开心的，故选B。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“With a friend Katie, he made a website called www. bullyingcanada. ca. Visitors to the website can find advice, stories and poems about bullying,”可知在这个网站人们能发现关于欺辱的建议，故事和诗，故选D。 【29题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“And remember that there are people caring about your problems.”可猜测其是指那些关心你的问题的人，由文章可知这些问题是关于受欺辱，故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Rob had problems with bullies at school for seven years.”“When he was fifteen, however, he decided to do something about his problems. He walked into a newspaper office and told them about the bullying.”“With a friend Katie, he made a website called www. bullyingcanada. ca.”和“One of Rob’s ideas is ‘Blue Day’, a special day for stopping bullying in schools.”可知15岁之前Rob受欺辱，15岁时走进报社让公众了解了自己的问题，而后他为了帮助受欺辱的同学，设立了专门的网站，并提出“Blue Day”的想法，故选A。 试卷Ⅱ（非选择题 共40分） 四、词汇运用（本题分A、B两部分，有15小题；每小题1分，共计15分） 用方框中所给词的适当形式填空。 每词仅用一次。 we; drop; independence; heavy; used to 31.

It 55. to help 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍Shankar的心地善良帮助了鹿，好人有好报，在他困难时，鹿帮助了他。 【46题详解】 句意：因为他爸爸的死，他的妈妈感到很悲伤。横线前是名词所有格，所以横线上是名词，所以将die变为death。故填death。 【47题详解】 句意：不久她的疾病变得更严重。根据become是系动词，所以横线上是形容词，由于much修饰比较级，所以将serious变为more serious。故填more serious。 【48题详解】 句意：但是Shankar自己都没有任何东西。根据前文“It needed water and food”小鹿需要水和食物，后文说他没有，所以是but表示转折。故填But。 【49题详解】 句意：后来，他看见一个男子正在造木屋。根据“see sb. doing”看见某人正在做某事，所以将make变为making。故填making。 【50题详解】 句意：Shankar是如此善良以至于他给男子木头。根据“Shankar was so kind...he gave his wood to the man.”可知，考查短语“so...that”如此……以至于。故填that。 【51题详解】 句意：上个月，当Shankar正在砍木头时，他从山上掉下来。根据“Last month, Shankar fell down...the hill”Shankar掉下来……山上。所以是从山上掉下来。故填from。 【52题详解】 句意：上个月，当Shankar正在砍木头时，他从山上掉下来。根据“while”可知，横线上是进行时，由于描述过去的时间，所以是过去进行时。由于主语是he，所以是was cutting。 【53题详解】 句意：幸运的是，他从前帮助过的鹿看见他。分析句子可知，横线上是副词修饰整个句子，所以将lucky变为luckily。故填Luckily。 【54题详解】 句意：它把Shankar带回家。横线上代指小鹿，所以是it。故填It。 【55题详解】 句意：记得去帮助他人。考查短语“remember to do”记得去做某事，所以是to help。故填to help。 六、阅读（本题有5小题；每小题1分，共计5分） 阅读下面短文，从方框中A—D四个选项中选择正确的答案，并将其序号填入1—4小题，使短文意思连贯，然后回答第5小题。 Here is some advice that can help you make your parents be healthy. ★ Make an idea list (清单).

Last week, we had a discussion about it. Here are the results. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Nowadays many children don’t like doing chores. Last week, we had a discussion about it. Here are the results. Some students think children should do chores at home. First, doing chores helps children develop their independence and teaches them to look after themselves. It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness. At last, everyone should take part in keeping the environment clean and tidy. However, others don’t think children should do chores. They think these days children already have enough stress from school, and doing housework is a waste of time. It’s not necessary to learn it now because they can do it when they grow up. What’s more, it’s parents’ job to provide a clean and comfortable environment. In my opinion, the earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future. 【解析】 【详解】[总体分析] ①题材：本文是一篇材料作文； ②时态：时态为“一般现在时”； ③提示：写作要点已给出，学生应注意不要遗漏表格所给要点。适当添加细节，并突出写作重点。 [写作步骤] 第一步，介绍同学们针对“孩子是否应当在家做家务”有不同的观点。 第二步，具体阐述同学们针对“孩子是否应当在家做家务”发表的不同观点和理由。 第三步，介绍自己针对“孩子是否应当在家做家务”发表的观点和理由。 [亮点词汇] ①do chores做家务 ②help sb. do sth.帮某人做某事 ③look after照顾 ④take part in参加 ⑤grow up长大 [高分句型] ①Some students think children should do chores at home.（省略that的宾语从句） ②It’s not necessary to learn it now because they can do it when they grow up.（because引导的原因状语从句） ③In my opinion, the earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.（the+比较级，the+比较级） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023学年第二学期八年级英语期中测试卷 试卷Ⅰ（选择题 共60 分） （一）听力部分（共15分） 一、听力（共15小题；每小题1分，共计15分） 第一节：听小对话，回答问题。每段对话读一遍 1.

Do you talk to a friend? Maybe next time you feel sad, you should try going outside if it is sunny. Doctors know that how much sunlight we get can change how we feel. Scientists learned this by interviewing people who live in different parts of the world. In the far north, in Alaska of Finland, for example, the days are very short in winter. People living in these places say that they often feel unhappy in winter. In the south, where there are more daylight hours, fewer people say they are unhappy in winter. The reason is the amount (数量) of sunlight these people get each day. Sunlight changes the chemicals (化学物) in our bodies, and these chemicals can change the way we feel. A couple of hours of strong sunlight or light from a special lamp can help your body make the chemicals that make us feel happy. Another way to feel happier is to get some exercise. Just like sunlight, regular exercise helps our bodies make certain chemicals, which make us feel happier. In addition, exercise helps people sleep better and lack of sleep often makes people feel unhappy. Exercise also helps you get rid of stress. When you are angry or upset about something, exercise is a good way to get those bad feelings out of you. 19 Why do people in the far north feel unhappy more often than people in the south? A. Because they can’t go outside. B. Because they get less sunlight. C. Because the weather is too cold. D. Because the summer is too short. 20. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph? A. It is better to live in the south. B. Southern people feel much happier. C. More sunlight can make us happier. D. Northern people often feel unhappy. 21. ________will probably not make you feel happier according to the passage. A. Living in different places B. Exercising more C. Getting enough sleep D. Getting more sunlight 22. What is the best title for this passage? A. Why Is Sunlight Good for You ? B. How Can Exercise Help You? C. Ways to Feel Happier D. Functions (作用) of Exercising More C Everyone has got two personalities (性格)—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret (秘密的) and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control yourself, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position (睡眠姿势) shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep. If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced (被影响) by new ideas. You don’t like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident. (自信的) If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you’re always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. If you sleep on curled up (蜷缩), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You’re shy and you don’t usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own. If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced (平衡的) personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don’t often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry. 23. You may find the passage in ________. A. a science magazine B. a guide book C. a sports newspaper D. a story book 24. Tina never tells her secrets to her friends. She probably goes to sleep ________. A. on curled up B. on her stomach C. on her back D. on her side 25. The underline word “defensive” means ________. A. 易怒的 B. 攻击性的 C. 外向的 D. 有戒心的 26. What does the passage tell us? A. Sleeping on your side is the best way of sleeping. B. Changing positions will cause sleeping problems. C Sleeping positions show people’s secret personalities. D. Enough sleep makes people look better and healthier. D Rob had problems with bullies (欺辱) at school for seven years. He was often scared and tired. When he was fifteen, however, he decided to do something about his problems. He walked into a newspaper office and told them about the bullying. His story went into the newspaper and soon all the TV stations in Canada wanted to talk to him about his experiences. After that, Rob continued his studies at school, but in his free time he helped other people with bullying problems. With a friend Katie, he made a website called www. bullyingcanada. ca. Visitors to the website can find advice, stories and poems about bullying, in both English and French. When people are upset, they can talk on the phone or online to Rob and his team. Every weekend Rob has to answer e-mails to the website. He also speaks to children, teachers and members of government around the country about bullying. Rob’s most important message is: “When bullies are unkind to you, it isn’t your fault. There’s nothing wrong with you, so you should try to keep trusting yourself. And remember that there are people caring about your problems. You just have to find those people.” One of Rob’s ideas is “Blue Day”, a special day for stopping bullying in schools. Students have to wear blue clothes and in class they learn how to stop bullying. More than 150 Canadian schools now celebrate Blue Day, but Rob won’t stop until there’s a Blue Day in every school in Canada. 27. How did Rob often feel at school before he was fifteen? A. Relaxed.
