I told him you would be angry with him for doing it again, but I couldn’t stop him.” She asked, “He did it again? Where is your little brother now?” “He is in his room.” She walked to her younger son’s room. She called his full name as she came in. Then, she found Tyler trying to hide (藏). He knew that the worst time was coming. For the next 10 minutes, the room was full of the sound of her shouting about the expensive wallpaper (墙纸). Then she went to the living room to see what was on the wall. When she saw the wall, her eyes were full of tears at once.

(B) People say laughter is the best medicine, but sometimes too much of a good thing may not be so good. What happened to me last night made me deeply understand the meaning of that. Last night I was alone at home. When I was watching a funny movie, I suddenly started laughing and couldn't stop myself. At first, I was feeling good. But after about 5 minutes, I came to know I wasn't going to stop at all. I began to feel a little worried. Time for bed. But I couldn't sleep because I kept laughing. So I got up and started doing some housework. I cleaned my apartment, laughing hard. I washed all the dishes left over from dinner, still laughing crazily. I tried to hold my cat in my arms, but it ran away from me in fear. I spent the rest of the night in front of my computer, of course, still laughing. When time finally came to get ready for work, I realized that I simply couldn't go to the office like that. I decided to call my boss for leave, but laughing was the only thing I could do on the phone. After listening to my "lovely" laughter for a few minutes, my boss couldn't help shouting angrily,“ Are you mad? You're fired (解雇 ) !" Suddenly I woke up. Thank God! I just had a dream. 24.

A. relaxed-angry-good B. good-excited-worried C. good-worried-relaxed D. worried-good-angry (C) Different weather makes people feel different. It influences (影响) health, intelligence (智力) and feelings. In August, it is very bot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March. The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, a report in 1983 showed that IQ (智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August). Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might fell unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger. Low air pressure (气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. People feel best at the temperature of about 18C. Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem. 28. A report shows that people may have more intelligence when ________ comes. A. rain B. a strong wind C. very hot weather D. low air pressure 29. According to the writer fat people may feel bad in ________ weather A. cold B. cool C. warm D. hot 30. The writer wants to tell us that ________. A. hot and cold weather influences all people in the same way B. weather can’t influences people’s intelligence C. weather influences people’s health, intelligence (智力) and feelings D. air pressure can’t influence people’s feeling 31. The best title of this passage is ________. A. Hot Weather Causes Health Problems B. Different Weather Makes People Feel Bad C. Weather Influences Feelings D. Weather Influences Health, Intelligence and Feelings (D) One boy is running in the park. Suddenly, he falls and hurts himself. “Ow!” he shouts. Shouting sounds of pain (疼痛) are different in different countries. “Ow” or “ouch” are heard in English. South Africans cry “eina”. Indians shout “ahia” And Chinese shout “aiyo”. But why will we shout when we get hurt? Scientists from the National University of Singapore now believe they find the answer. The scientists tested how long volunteers (志愿者) could put their hands in very cold water. On the first day, volunteers were allowed to shout “ow” when they felt the pain. On the second day, they had to keep quiet. Scientists tested these volunteers three times. The results showed that volunteers were able to keep their hands in the cold water for a longer time when they were allowed to shout out. “We find that when we shout a simple sound such as saying ‘ow’, we just need to open our mouths simply and the tongues (舌头) lie flat (放平). It’s a simple sound that needs little control.” One of the scientists said. He added, “We will cry out when we get hurt, because the simple sound helps us to fell less painful. The shouting sound interferes (干涉) with pain (痛苦) messages traveling to the brain. So by shouting it out, it distracts (使分心) us from the feeling of pain.” Now we know the answer. So boys and girls, if you are not careful enough to hurt yourselves when you are doing sports, don’t be shy to shout “aiyo”. 32. Who will shout “ahia” when they feel the pain? A. Englishmen. B. South Africans. C. Indians. D. Chinese. 33. which paragraph does the diagram (图表) mainly support (支撑) ? A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 34. What’s the purpose (目的) of writing the passage? A. To advise that we should shout every day to keep healthy. B To describe that people like to show their feelings by shouting. C. To show that it’s not good to put our hands in a very cold water. D. To tell us that shouting out is helpful to make us feel less painful. 35. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? (① Para. l ② Para. 2 ③ Para. 3 ④ Para. 4 ⑤ Para. 5 ⑥ Para. 6) A. B. C. D. V.（每小题2分，共10分） 口语应用。 A: Hi, Linda! Come in, please. B: Hi. ___36___ A: I’m looking for information about Singapore. I’m going there after taking the final exams.

Shyness means feeling nervous or frightened when you’re around other people. Experts (专家) have found that more than 80 percent of middle school students feel afraid to be the center of attention. Some kids are born shy. Some become shy later because of their life experiences. It’s OK if it takes you a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people. In fact everybody gets a little shy sometimes. It’s just a case of how much. Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences (断断续续的句子) when they get shy. But some become so shy that they won’t go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay the bill (账单). Some are afraid of meeting new people, so they seldom go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person. If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn’t a very big problem. Some experts say shy people are quieter and cleverer because they think more and talk less. Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people. Some great people in history were shy, too. You see, being shy isn’t all bad. But remember not to let good chances pass by just because of it! If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practice your spoken English in front of others, just do it! There’s nothing to be afraid of. Shyness Meaning To feel ___50___ Causes (原因) To be the center of attention To ___51___ To have life experiences Effects (影响) ___52___ To have red faces To talk in broken sentences To be afraid of meeting new people Good effects To be quieter and cleverer To be good at ___53___ Advice To remember to take hold of (抓住) good chances IX. 书面表达. （20分） 54. 假设你是李华，打算在今年去北京旅游，请根据下图提示，给你的英国笔友Lucy写一封80词左右的电子邮件，分享你的旅行计划。 要求： 1. 文章中不得出现真实的校名和人名，要有条理，语句通顺，可适当拓展； 2. 邮件的开头和结尾都已经给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Lucy, _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 2023级八年级下期英语半期测试题 （考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分） 第I卷（共100分） I. 听力测试。（共35分） 第一节（每小题1分，共6分） 听一遍。根据你所听到的句子，从A、B、C三个选项中选出最恰当的答语。 1.
