From the above we can come to the c___57___ that the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and live a happy and healthy life. 【答案】51. (h)elpful 52. (n)othing 53. (b)ridge 54. (e)asily 55. (B)esides 56. (f)inish 57. (c)onclusion 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述的是科学家们发现工作有益于健康，分析了其中的原因，得出结论：你工作越多，你就会越快乐，越健康。 【51题详解】 句意：这一切归结为一个要点：工作对健康很重要。根据前文“the unemployment rate (失业率) increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%.”可知，失业率上升导致死亡率增加，说明工作对健康有积极影响。此处应填形容词helpful“有益的”。故填(h)elpful。 【52题详解】 句意：研究者表明当人们无事可做时会感到不开心或担忧。根据“have … to do”可知，此处指“无事可做”。故填(n)othing。 【53题详解】 句意：工作是人与现实之间的桥梁。根据后文“Through work, people come into contact with each other.”可知，工作连接人与现实，因此是bridge“桥梁”。故填(b)ridge。 【54题详解】 句意：失去工作容易使人抑郁。此处需副词修饰动词，结合首字母可知“easily”表示“容易地”。故填(e)asily。 【55题详解】 句意：此外，工作能带来成就感。此处需承接连词，引出另一论点，“Besides”表示“此外”。故填(B)esides。 【56题详解】 句意：当作家成功完成他们的写作，当医生终于为病人完成手术，当老师看到他们的学生成长时，他们都会欣喜不已。此处是when引导的三个从句，时态需一致，根据“complete”和“see”的时态可知，为一般现在时；主语“doctors”为复数，因此用原形。故填(f)inish。 【57题详解】 句意：从上面我们可以得出结论，工作越多越健康快乐。此处是come to the conclusion“得出结论”，为固定搭配。故填(c)onclusion。 D. Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答问题) (12分) The Birthday Surprise Fiona carefully counted her savings for the third time. Three months of pocket money, plus what she earned helping Aunt Mei water plants—just enough for the strawberry cake at Sunny Bakery. Her mother’s birthday was tomorrow, and she wanted to make it special. The next afternoon, Fiona rushed home with the precious cake box held tightly in her arms. Rain began to fall as she ran, but she protected her package like a treasure. When she arrived, the house was quiet—her mother was still at the hospital working her nursing shift. Fiona worked quickly. She set the cake on their small kitchen table carefully placing five pink candles around the edges. She found their good plates (the ones with little flowers that Mom loved). Just as she lit the last candle, she heard someone knocking at the door. “Surprise!” Fiona shouted as her mother stepped inside. For a moment, her mother just stood there, rainwater dripping from her coat, staring at the flickering candles. Then her tired eyes filled with tears. “You... you remembered it was my birthday?” Fiona ran to hug her. “Of course! You always make my birthdays special. This year I wanted to do the same for you.” As they shared the cake—the sweet strawberries mixing with the salty tears on their cheeks—Fiona understood something important. The best gifts were the ones that said “I see you” and “I love you” without any words at all. That night, as her mother kissed her goodnight, she whispered, “This was the happiest birthday ever.” And Fiona knew it was true, because her own heart had never felt so full. 58.

Although I was rushing to finish homework, I decided to help. Her hands shook in the cold, and she smiled gratefully, saying, “Thank you, young friend.” Together, we slowly climbed to her door. She offered me a handmade scarf as thanks, which she had made herself. This small act taught me that warmth often lies in simple kindness. Even a little effort can light up someone’s day, and receiving true thanks makes our own hearts brighter. Since then, I’ve learned to pause and notice those who might need help around me. 【解析】 【详解】[总体分析] ①题材：本文是一篇记叙文，为话题作文； ②时态：时态主要为“一般过去时”； ③提示：结合题干要求和自身经历，介绍发生在自己身上的温暖故事，可适当增加细节，并突出写作重点。 [写作步骤] 第一步，介绍自己帮助邻居搬箱子的经历，邻居向自己表示感谢； 第二步，介绍自己的感受。 [亮点词汇] ①decide to do sth.决定做某事 ②climb to爬到 ③offer sb. sth.给某人提供某物 ④since then从那时开始 [高分句型] ①One winter evening, I noticed an elderly neighbor struggling to carry boxes up the stairs.（现在分词作宾语补足语） ②Although I was rushing to finish homework, I decided to help.（although引导让步状语从句） ③This small act taught me that warmth often lies in simple kindness.（that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 市西初级中学2024学年第二学期期中 八年级英语试卷 (考试时间: 100 分钟 满分: 120分) 考生注意： 本卷有7大题，共85小题。试题均采用连续编号，所有答案务必按照规定在答题纸完成，做在试卷上不给分。 Part 1 Listening(第一部分 听力) I.
