A. one way B. two ways C. three ways D. four ways B There was magic in the secret garden that spring and summer. At first, everything turned green. Then the green changed to colours—blue, purple and red. There were flowers everywhere. Dickon and Mary’s seeds (种子) grew and the roses—the roses! From small buds they grew into large flowers and filled the air with their perfume. Colin saw it all. He watched the changes as they happened. Dickon pushed his wheelchair to the garden every morning and he spent the day there. Sometimes Colin sat on the grass watching the insects. One day, he watched a mole (鼹鼠) digging a hole. He learnt a lot of things about the ways of these insects and animals. And Dickon taught him about the animals in the wood. One morning, the children were in the secret garden as usual. When Ben Weatherstaff arrived, Colin said, “Good morning, Ben Weatherstaff. I want you and Dickon and Mary to listen to me because I’m going to tell you something very important.” “Yes, sir!” answered Ben Weatherstaff. “I’m going to do a scientific experiment (科学实验),” he said. “when I grow up, I’m going to make scientific discoveries about magic and I’m going to start with this experiment. Do you understand?” “Yes, sir!” said Ben Weatherstaff, but he didn’t really understand. “I believe that there is magic in everything.”continued Colin. “Dickon knows some magic. He charms animals and people. Mary also knows a bit of magic because she was born in India. There’s magic in the garden, too. I’m going to try and put some in me because I want to be well and strong. I’m going to say—Magic is in me! And you must all say it, too. That is my experiment. Are you going to help, Ben Weatherstaff?” “Yes, sir!” answered Ben Weatherstaff. They sat down in a circle. The crow, the fox, the squirrels and the lamb were very curious. “Now, let’s begin,” Colin said, and they all started chanting (吟唱). “Magic is in me. Magic is in me. Magic is in all of us.” Then Colin stood up and walked round the garden. He went in front with Dickon on one side and Mary on the other. Ben Weatherstaff walked behind. Colin walked a bit then rested. Then he walked again and rested again. At first, he held Dickon’s arm, then he walked a few steps alone. “I can walk! The magic worked!” he cried. “What is the doctor going to say?” asked Mary. “Nothing.” Colin answered, “because we aren’t going to tell him. No one must know that I can walk and run. It’s a surprise for my father when he comes back to Misselthwaite.” “He’s going to think it’s a dream,” said Mary. --- Adapted from 《The Secret Garden》 ( ) 29. What did Colin learn in the secret garden? A. He knew how to fix his wheelchair. B. He learnt to dig a hole like a mole. C. He knew how to plant trees and flowers. D. He learnt a lot about insects and animals. ( ) 30. Which is the correct order of what happened in the story? a. At first, Colin held Dickon’s arm to walk round the garden. b. They started to chant “Magic is in me.” and “Magic in all of us.” c. Ben Weatherstaff got to the garden one morning. d. Colin, Mary and Dickon were playing in the garden. A. a-b-d-c B. d-c-b-a C. c-b-a-d D. b-a-c-d ( ) 31. If Colin’s father know that Colin can walk, how might he feel? A. Excited. B. Confident. C. Angry. D. Bored. ( ) 32. Why are a lot of animals mentioned in the story? A. They could help Colin walk again. B. They are always locked in the garden. C. They stand for a healthy and happy way of life. D. They bring terrible diseases to the people in the garden. C Do you like to have talented partners in your group? Most people believe the best way to build a great team is to get a group of the most talented people. Sports team owners spend millions of dollars on top talented players. Is their money well spent? Several recent studies tested the role of talent in the sports world. They focused on(关注) football, basketball and baseball. The results(结果) are different. For football and basketball, adding talented players to a team is a good way when 70% of the players are top talent. Above that percent, the team’s performance(表现) begins to go down. Interestingly, this isn’t the same in baseball. The more stars a team has, the better the performance will be. What makes it happen? The researchers (研究者) did a survey. In baseball, the performance of a player is less dependent on teammates. They find that when the players depend on each other too much, team performance will go down when there ls too much talent. If a basketball star is, for example, trying to get a high personal point, he may take a shot (投篮) himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate. Young children learning to play team sports are often told “There is no I in TEAM.” However, stars usually do not follow this rule. Another situation(情况) is that when there is a lot of talent on a team, some players may work less hard. Just as in a game of tug-of-war(拔河比赛). When one more person joins, everyone else pulls the rope less hard. Building up a dream team is more difficult than simply having the best talent. An a-team may need a balance—not just A players, but a few B players. ( ) 33. How does the writer lead in the topic? A. By telling a story. B. By doing a survey. C. By asking a question. D. By giving an example. ( ) 34. What can we learn from the recent studies? A. 70% of the sports teams hire(雇佣) talented players. B. Talented players don’t follow the rules of the game. C. Basketball players hardly depend on their teammates. D. Too many stars are not always good for a football team. ( ) 35. What does the writer mean by the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3? A. Every player is independent. B. A team needs to pull together. C. Talented players play an important role. D. Everyone should listen to the team owner. ( ) 36. The structure of the passage is ________.(P= Paragraph) A. B. C. D. D As space science develops(发展), man has learnt more and more about space. Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger as well as success. Scientists have found out that radiation(辐射)is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The harm of the radiation won’t be found(被发现) until their children even grandchildren are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but no really helpful medicine has been found so far. Space rubbish is also thought to be a great danger to spacemen. It’s reported that there were 9,000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are satellites(卫星), 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space rubbish. An explosion(爆炸) in l996 made a cloud of 300,000 space rubbish pieces, each at least 4mm in size. A small piece of these even knocked a spaceship window and caused some problems. Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working to deal with space rubbish. Although space is really dangerous, it interests many people on Earth. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space in a few years. However, to make this possible, we must take steps to improve the space environment and make sure it is safe for people to research and live in. ( ) 37. What is the greatest danger in space? A. Space rubbish. B. Radiation. C. The sun. D. Other stars. ( ) 38. What can we infer(推测) from paragraph 2? A. The radiation is dangerous to spaceships. B. The radiation are mostly from space rubbish. C. The danger of the radiation may last for years. D. The medicine for radiation will appear soon. ( ) 39. What cause the danger to spacemen? ①radiation ②space rubbish ③satellites ④ explosion A. ①② B. ①③ C. ②④ D. ③④ ( ) 40. According to the report, how many man-made things are space rubbish? A. 900. B. 2700. C. 5400. D. 9000. ( ) 41. Why does the writer write this passage? A. To show the scientists’ work on cleaning the space. B. To share the information of the danger in space. C. To introduce the reports from spacemen. D. To describe people’s interest in space. IV.信息还原(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。 Body language is communication without words. It includes facial(面部) expressions, eyes, touching, and tone of voice, as well as the space between two or more people. 42 One of the most common forms of body language is gestures. Some children throw their hands up in the air or walk off with heavy feet to show they are angry. 43 Each child is different, so it is important to spend time with a child to learn her gestures and meanings. Another kind of body language is facial expressions. It is easy to know when children like or dislike something. 44 Reading facial expressions, together with asking the right questions, will help you better understand. what she is thinking or feeling. A child’s use of space depends on her family and cultural environment. If a child is raised in a family that is very physically affectionate (举止亲昵的), she will be more comfortable with physical contact. However, a child raised in a non-physically affectionate family may be uncomfortable in the same situation. 45 Knowing the differences in different children will help you understand each child. The tone of a child’s voice will help to understand the message she’s sending. 46 If a child is saying she is happy, but her tone sounds different, you may want to ask a few questions to see if she is being honest. A. Everyone has personal space, even children. B. If a child sounds happy, she most probably is happy. C. Facial expressions give away what a child is thinking or feeling. D. Understanding the body language of children is important to parents. E. Gestures are usually paired up with spoken communication, but they don’t have to be. F. Communication is mostly done through body language. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共58分） V. 词汇运用（共8小题；每小题1分，满分8分） A.根据句子意思, 从方框中选用恰当的单词或短语填空。 ( passports keep in touch on business twenty-third stands for ) 47.

VII.任务型阅读 (共5小题； 每小题2分，满分10分) Do you have a “dazi” (搭子)? The idea is simple—People come together to join in an activity they all enjoy. Many people are looking for “dazi”, or activity partners on the Internet. “dazi” can appear in many different ways in daily life, from dining to studying, working and even going to the toilet! Earlier this year, topics about “dazi” caused a hot discussion among young people. According to a study, more than half of Chinese young people have at least one “dazi”. The relationship between “dazi” is simpler than a normal one. “Traditional friendships need a lot of time to keep, but having a “dazi” means you don’t need to carry those burdens (负担).” said Shi Zhimin, a 17-year-old student. Her idea was agreed by Ge Jinyuan, another high school student who finds herself difficult to deal with close relationships. “Having a “dazi” is more comfortable for me, because I don’t need to spend much energy on it, and I can focus more on my studies,” Ge said. Ge Jinyuan enjoys talking during lunch and dinner with her meal “dazi”. “We are both crazy about delicious food so we always share our views on the canteen food and look for some other fine food,” said Ge. “If my meal “dazi” doesn’t go to school some day, I’ll be sad for the rest of the day,” her “dazi”, Li Xin, added. “She is outgoing, so am I. That’s why we are always together.” What’s more, having a “dazi” may bring some unexpected (意想不到的) results. “Once, my game “dazi” and I made a mistake when playing a game, but we worked together to correct it. By this, I find that I have a better understanding of teamwork!” Shi said. 根据短文内容回答问题，每题答案不超过8个单词。 60. Why do people find a “dazi”? _________________________________________________________________________ 61. How many Chinese young person have at least one “dazi”? _________________________________________________________________________ 62. According to Ge and Li in Paragraph 3, what makes them become “dazi”? _________________________________________________________________________ 63. What unexpected result did Shi Zhimin have in the last paragraph? _______________________________________________________ __________________ 64. What do you think of “dazi”? _________________________________________________________________________ VIII. 短文语法填空（共 10 空；每空 1 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容及所给单词，用所给单词的正确形式填空，使短文意思完整、通顺，每空一词。 “Look in my eyes. Tell me why.” Have you found yourself listening to “ancient people” o 65 recently? Creative vloggers (视频博主) are using AI technology to bring famous people from history like Tang Dynasty poems Li Bai and Du Fu “back to l 66 ”. These videos have become popular, showing these ancient icons (代表人物) speaking in modern language. In one video, Du Fu talks about his e 67 during the An-Shi Rebellion (755-763). In another, Ming Dynasty medical (医药的) expert LiShizhen makes fun of modern lifestyles (生活方式), like trying to be healthy by drinking goji berry (枸杞) water but still s 68 up late. “The videos make me want to learn m 69 about important ancient people. I didn’t know much about their stories before.” said Wang Jiayi, 15, from Shandong. The new trend (趋势) isn’t for everyone, h 70 . The way these ancient people speak, in high tones and always asking questions, annoys (惹恼) some people. “They’re too pushy (压迫感的), which is different from how they r 71 were,” explained 14-year old Wang Shuotong from Jiangsu. Xia Boen,14, from Hubei, felt the s 72 . But he was surprised to find that he “remembered almost e 73 they said about their experiences and achievements” thanks to the speaking style in the videos. These videos use a more modern way to let ancient people “speak for themselves”. However, “we should be c 74 with these videos, making sure they are not sharing fake (假的) information," noted Nanfang Daily .

It shows us how great changes have taken place in China in the past hundred years. From this book, we can see that Chinese are enjoying a much more comfortable life than before. For example, many people have already moved into flats or tall buildings from small and old houses. As for travelling, we do not need a tour guide any more because an easy click can take us on an online tour quickly at present. Besides, people used to travel around by bike and bus, but we are used to taking the train and plane at present. Moreover, we can notice people reading e-books instead of paper books in daily life in this book. Reading can open up a whole new world to us. I bet Hi I’m China is a good read for everybody to know more about China, a stronger and stronger China. Yours sincerely Li Hua 八年级英语试题 第 10 页，共8页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
