When I worked as a volunteer, I understood the power of serving people. When I volunteered in Mexico, I met a little girl. When I checked on someone’s teeth with Dr. Sussi, I saw her holding a toy, talking and laughing with her friend. Dr. Sussi told me, “When she was 3 years old. her house was on fire. She was found and immediately sent to the hospital. Luckily, she was saved but some scars (疤痕) were left on her body.” I was startled that a little girl went through so much. I walked closer and saw her scars. To be honest, I was a little afraid to look at her. But her eyes were so innocent (纯真) that she made me feel she was a pretty girl. Dr. Sussi told me that her mom took her to the clinic (诊所) to play with the volunteers there every weekend. It is probably the only place that she can be treated the same as other kids. Perhaps we can play with her and encourage her. She might not remember the time she spent with us in the clinic when she grew up. But I believe the feeling of being loved by strangers can stay with her forever. 31. What did the writer do in Mexico? A. A worker. B. A policeman. C. A teacher. D. A dentist. 32. How did the little girl get her scars? A. She was born with them. B. She fell off a tree. C. She was hurt in the fire. D. She experienced a car accident. 33. What does the underlined word “startled” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Afraid. B. Surprised. C. Glad. D. Nervous. 34. Why did the girl’s mother take her to the clinic every weekend? A. Because the girl had a toothache. B. Because the girl wanted to be a doctor. C. Because the girl could get free food there. D. Because the girl could be treated as a common kid there. 35. What does the writer want to tell us? A. To show us how to be a volunteer. B. To show us what a volunteer should do. C. To show us the meaning of helping others D. To show us how to deal with unusual children. 【答案】31. D 32. C 33. B 34. D 35.

Linda went back home tiredly but thankfully. When she opened the door, her son John ran up to her and shouted, “Mom! “He put his little arms around her neck. Linda lifted him up and her heart was filled with love. When she was checking her painful fingers, her daughter Mary came to her and passed her the medicine.

Our parents always care about us. They work hard to provide us with a better life and support us in every way possible. They are always there for us when we need them. To show respect for our parents, we can start by helping them with household chores. For example, we can do the dishes, sweep the floor, or wash the clothes. Another important way to show respect is to study hard and make them proud. We should strive to achieve our best in school and pursue our dreams. By doing so, we can repay their love and trust. Let’s start showing respect for our parents from now on. 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了Linda作为一名年轻母亲的生活经历，她在工作中遇到了困难，但通过周围人的关爱和支持，她感受到了生活的温暖和力量。 【51题详解】 根据“Linda was a young mother with two little children depending on her.”可知，Linda有两个孩子，故填Two。 【52题详解】 根据“Before going to work, she needed to bandage her fingers.”可知，Linda在上班前需要包扎手指，故填Before going to work. 【53题详解】 根据“When she was working for her host, she broke an expensive glass by accident.”可知，Linda在为雇主工作时不小心打碎了一个昂贵的玻璃杯，故填An expensive glass. 【54题详解】 根据“When she was checking her painful fingers, her daughter Mary came to her and passed her the medicine.”可知，是Mary给Linda递了药，故填Mary. 【55题详解】 根据“ Love and care from the people around her is the thing that keeps her going.”可知，是周围人的爱和关心让Linda继续前行，故填Love and care from the people around her. 【56题详解】 ［总体分析］ ①题材：本文是篇材料作文； ②时态：本文的时态为一般现在时为主； ③提示：本文所给的是一个思维导图，注意适当拓展信息。 ［写作步骤］ 第一步，总述孝敬父母是中国人的传统； 第二步，介绍具体孝敬父母的做法； 第三步，结束语，呼吁一起孝敬父母。 ［亮点词汇］ ①care about关心 ②from now on从现在开始 ［高分句型］ ① Showing respect for parents is one of the family traditions that Chinese people have kept for thousands of years.（定语从句） ② They are always there for us when we need them.（时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023—2024学年度第二学期期中质量监测 八年级英语 说明： 1.全卷共8页，满分120分，考试用时90分钟。 2.答题前，考生务必用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔将自己的学校、班级、姓名、考生号、考场号、考场座号，填写在答题卡相应位置上，并用2B铅笔在答题卡“考场号”、“考场座号”栏涂上自己的考场号和考场座号。 3.选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目选项的答案信息点涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案，答案不能答在试题上。 4.非选择题必须用黑色字迹钢笔或签字笔作答、答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案；不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答的答案无效。 5.考生务必保持答题卡的整洁。考试结束时，将试卷和答题卡一并交回。 一、听说应用（本大题共30小题，每小题1分，共30分；A、B、C、D部分为听力理解，E部分为情景对话） A.听句子（本题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分） 请根据所听内容，选择符合题意的图画回答问题。每个句子听两遍。 1.

Dr. Sussi told me, “When she was 3 years old. her house was on fire. She was found and immediately sent to the hospital. Luckily, she was saved but some scars (疤痕) were left on her body.” I was startled that a little girl went through so much. I walked closer and saw her scars.

She worked for eight hours a day as a house cleaner. Washing clothes and doing the cleaning caused her fingers to split (裂开) in the cold and dry air. Before going to work, she needed to bandage her fingers. The heavy burden (负担) made her stressed out and tired. Linda still remembered that unforgettable day. When she was working for her host, she broke an expensive glass by accident. To her surprise, the host didn’t blame (责备) her. Instead, seeing her tired face and the fingers with bandages, the host let her go home to have a rest. Though the weather was cold, Linda could feel the warmth from her host’s kindness. Linda went back home tiredly but thankfully. When she opened the door, her son John ran up to her and shouted, “Mom! “He put his little arms around her neck. Linda lifted him up and her heart was filled with love. When she was checking her painful fingers, her daughter Mary came to her and passed her the medicine.
