I joined a ship and sailed (航行) to the islands of the South Pacific (南太平洋). It was a wonderful voyage (航海) at first. We sailed across the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean. Suddenly there was a terrible storm and I fell into the water. Finally, I swam to an island. I walked on the beach and looked around me. There were no people and no houses. I was very tired so I fell asleep on the sand. When I woke up in the morning, I couldn’t move. I was lying on my back and my arms and my legs were tied to the ground. I was very hot in the sun and I was scared. Suddenly I saw a very small man. He was about 15 centimeters (厘米) tall and he was walking on my leg. Then I saw lots of small men on my arms and my legs. I shouted and, in surprise, the men fell off my body. Then I spoke to them in English. They didn’t understand my language, but they saw that I was friendly. I pointed at my mouth to show I was hungry and they brought me some food. Their food was normal, ________ and it meant I had to eat a lot. I finished my meal and then hundreds of men and thousands of horses carried me to their city. It was a very long journey. When I arrived at the city I looked around me. The houses were smaller than my feet and I was bigger than the trees. The king and the people were kind to me so I stayed on the island. I learned that I was in Lilliput (小人国) and I learned their language. I played with their children and I gave them gifts such as my watch and some coins (硬币). These things were enormous to little men. Finally, I left the city and travelled again. 4. How did Gulliver feel when he was on the island at first? A. Afraid. B. Hungry. C. Tired. 5.

C Firefighters get a fire call every 24 seconds in the US on average (平均). Every 87 seconds, a home fire happens. Just between January 1st, 2018 and January lst, 2023, 11, 180 home fire deaths happened in the country. But the best escape time for a fire is just three minutes or less. So everyone should pay attention to fire safety at home. Avoid (避免) starting a fire by getting to know common causes. Cooking tools are the number-one cause of home fires. Be especially careful when using them. Never leave the kitchen while cooking and make sure the tools are completely off after cooking. Electrical appliances (电器) can result in a fire, so check them often to make sure they are working properly. Smoking is another common cause of house fires. It’s never a good idea to smoke indoors, so take a few steps to go out. Lastly, don’t forget little kids. They usually find fire exciting and think of fire as a toy. So keep them away from fire and teach them about dangers of fire. How can we prevent home fires? The following tips may help. Get smoke alarms (烟雾报警器) The first step is to set up enough smoke alarms through your home. Get one in every room. Prepare fire extinguishers Keep fire extinguishers available at home. They can put out small fires. Check them often to make sure they work properly. Create a plan for escape A good plan should start with at least two escape ways from every room. Then know how fast your family can run, tell kids when and how to get out, and make a house map with all doors and windows. At last, choose a meeting place outside. And don’t forget to practice it often with every family member. You might think that these fire safety tips are common sense (常识). However, it’s difficult to think of them especially when you’re in a life-and-death moment. Take action with the tips and never take fire safety lightly at home. 8. How does the writer start the passage? A. By asking a question. B. By giving an example. C. By listing some numbers. 9. What has caused the most home fires? A. Cooking tools. B.

After a heavy snowfall in winter, children also play an important role in doing outdoor chores. They help shovel (铲) snow in their front yard. ____14____ Spring and summer bring lots of rain and sun which make the grass in people’s yards grow tall.

Doing all of these chores might sound like a lot of work. ____15____ People who don’t have children might even pay neighborhood kids to take care of chores for them. It’s a good way to make some money if you aren’t old enough to have a real job yet. A. Young kids only do easy chores. B.

Extroverted people are outgoing and they are good at making friends. Introverted people like to stay alone. In this way, they can think more carefully and solve problems better. Introversion is not the same as social phobia (社交恐惧症). People with social phobia may face many problems in their daily lives. They always feel unhappy and not comfortable when talking with others. Besides, they may find it hard to sleep well. Some worry too much about social activities. Others feel stressed all the time, even when they are alone. For students with social phobia, simple things like answering a teacher’s question or eating in the school cafeteria (食堂) can make their hearts beat fast. And they have difficulty making friends at school. Social phobia is different from shyness. Teenagers with social phobia should treat (对待) it properly. Firstly, it’s a good way to talk to a parent or counselor about their feelings. Secondly, they should exercise regularly—running or yoga can help reduce stress. Thirdly, Why not practice making some friends bravely? Start with small steps, like saying “hello” to a classmate. Social phobia is a kind of mental (精神的) illness. So the most important way to solve it is to get special treatments (治疗). Remember, progress takes time, but every effort counts! 36. What are the two main types of people in the world? ______________________________________________ 37. Why do introverted people like to stay alone? ______________________________________________ 38. How may people with social phobia feel when communicating with others? ______________________________________________ 39. Is social phobia different from shyness? ______________________________________________ 40. What is the most important way to deal with social phobia? _______________________________________________ 第二节 书面表达（满分15分） 41. 作为八年级学生，我们在学习和生活中难免会遇到一些烦恼，为了更好地发现及解决同学们存在的问题，班上开展了一次以“Face Problems Bravely”为主题的英语班会。假如你是李华，请你根据下面的班会笔记，谈谈同学们最常见的三个问题，并给出你的建议。 同学们常见的问题 1. too much stress about schoolwork 2. difficult relations with families and friends 3. … 你的建议 1. play sports to get relaxed ... 2. communicate properly with families and friends ... 3 … 注意： （1）文中不得出现真实的校名、姓名等信息 （2）内容必须包括所提供的信息，并在此基础上，进行拓展； （3）词数：80词左右。 Nowadays, we students in Grade Eight have had quite a lot of problems in our daily lives. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 长沙市周南教育集团2025年上学期八年级期中素质诊断试卷 英语 （考试范围：Unit1-5） 本试卷共8页，61小题，满分100分。考试用时100分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必用黑色字迹的钢笔或者签字笔将字迹的姓名和考生号、室试号、座位号填写在答题卡上。用2B铅笔将试卷类型填写在答题卡相应位置上。 2. 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，答案不能答在试卷上。 3. 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；不准使用铅笔或涂改液。不按以上要求作答的试卷无效。 4. 考生必须保持答题卡的整洁。考试结束后，将答题卡上交。 第一部分 听力（共两节；满分20分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。 1.

As we all know, doing chores helps to improve children’s living skills and teaches them how to look after themselves. ____12____ What kinds of chores do you usually do around the house? ____13____ All of these are “indoor chores”. But in many places—especially in the countryside in the US, kids have different “outdoor chores” during different seasons. In the fall, the most common outdoor chore is cleaning leaves. As trees lose their leaves in fall, the leaves will pile up (堆积) in people’s yards. It is up to each family to clean up the leaves and put them in big trash bags. After a heavy snowfall in winter, children also play an important role in doing outdoor chores. They help shovel (铲) snow in their front yard. ____14____ Spring and summer bring lots of rain and sun which make the grass in people’s yards grow tall. It is common for kids to mow (割草) their yards to keep them fresh and tidy. Doing all of these chores might sound like a lot of work. ____15____ People who don’t have children might even pay neighborhood kids to take care of chores for them. It’s a good way to make some money if you aren’t old enough to have a real job yet. A. Young kids only do easy chores. B. Maybe you clean your room, wash the dishes, wash clothes, sweep or mop the floor. C. So, more and more children do chores. D. If not, it might be hard for families to leave their homes. E. Luckily, most families give their kids a little bit of money for doing them. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15.

Extroverted people are outgoing and they are good at making friends. Introverted people like to stay alone. In this way, they can think more carefully and solve problems better. Introversion is not the same as social phobia (社交恐惧症). People with social phobia may face many problems in their daily lives. They always feel unhappy and not comfortable when talking with others. Besides, they may find it hard to sleep well. Some worry too much about social activities. Others feel stressed all the time, even when they are alone. For students with social phobia, simple things like answering a teacher’s question or eating in the school cafeteria (食堂) can make their hearts beat fast. And they have difficulty making friends at school. Social phobia is different from shyness. Teenagers with social phobia should treat (对待) it properly. Firstly, it’s a good way to talk to a parent or counselor about their feelings. Secondly, they should exercise regularly—running or yoga can help reduce stress. Thirdly, Why not practice making some friends bravely? Start with small steps, like saying “hello” to a classmate. Social phobia is a kind of mental (精神的) illness. So the most important way to solve it is to get special treatments (治疗). Remember, progress takes time, but every effort counts! 36. What are the two main types of people in the world? ______________________________________________ 37. Why do introverted people like to stay alone? ______________________________________________ 38.

Because they can think more carefully and solve problems better. 38. They may feel unhappy and not comfortable. 39. Yes./Yes, it is. 40. The most important way to deal with social phobia is to get special treatments. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了外向型与内向型人格的区别，并重点阐述了社交恐惧症的表现及应对方法。 【36题详解】 根据“As we know, there are mainly two kinds of people in the world—the extroverted (外向的) and the introverted (内向的).”可知，世界上主要有外向的人和内向的人两种人。故填Extroverted people and introverted people. 【37题详解】 根据“Introverted people like to stay alone. In this way, they can think more carefully and solve problems better.”可知，内向的人喜欢独处，这样他们能更仔细地思考并更好地解决问题。故填Because they can think more carefully and solve problems better. 【38题详解】 根据“People with social phobia may face many problems in their daily lives. They always feel unhappy and not comfortable when talking with others.”可知，有社交恐惧症的人与他人交谈时，总感到不开心和不自在。故填They may feel unhappy and not comfortable. 【39题详解】 根据“Social phobia is different from shyness”可知，社交恐惧症不同于害羞。故填Yes./Yes, it is. 【40题详解】 根据“Social phobia is a kind of mental (精神的) illness.
