绵阳市安州区2024-2025学年八年级下学期期中试卷(英语)
一.阅读理解(共40分)
One night, my family was driving back from visiting my uncle in the middle of a very bad snowstorm.
The road was normally two lanes (车道) going in each direction, but there was so much snow that it was down to one lane. We were scared, but we felt safe because my father used to work as a truck driver. He’s a very safe driver.
We were all alone on the highway until three cars pulled up right behind us. They used their lights of the car and beeped their horns (按喇叭), wanting to get by us, but there was no place for us to pull over.
After a while, we stopped at a restaurant to wait for the storm to calm down.
The three cars behind us drove in too. They were full of young men. They were talking about how slow we were driving. One of them said loudly enough for us to hear, “If you don’t know how to drive, you shouldn’t be on the highway.”
Soon after, the young men left even though the storm was getting worse. My father decided that we should wait inside, hoping the storm would stop.
After it cleared a little, we headed down the road. Finally, we came around a turning. We could not believe our eyes—the three cars were all in the ditch (沟渠)!
Dad ran to the cars. The young men were all okay, but they were freezing and very frightened. A police officer arrived and took some of the young men to the next gas station. We gave two of them a ride.
It was a very quiet drive. My dad turned to the young driver and said with a little smile, “You know, if you don’t know how to drive, you should stay off the road.”
The man was very upset. My dad smiled and said, “I was a truck driver for fifteen years and we had a saying: There are old drivers and there are bold (大胆的) drivers, but there aren’t any old bold drivers.”
The young man understood and hung his head in shame.

247 graduate students of Fudan University have volunteered to teach the children in Xihaigu region(地区)of Ningxia for the past 22 years. The region used to be poor because of its terrible natural environment. “We expect to make a difference to the children’s life by sharing our knowledge in different fields,” one of the volunteers says.
The students have different abilities, so the volunteers have used different teaching methods to help them develop good study habits. “Local children had never learned English before, so we started with basic knowledge like English letters and pronunciation, ” says Li Lianshuo, a Fudan volunteer. The volunteers help the students remember English words, read articles and deal with their study problems.
“We visit the students’ homes in our free time. We communicate with their parents so that we help the parents understand the importance of children’s education, because the parents didn’t care much about it years ago, ” explains Yang Chenhaotong, who was the leader of the volunteer team in 2019. According to Yang, the parents give their children a lot of support in their studies now.
The volunteers have helped the local children with their studies. They have also set up football clubs and held many ball games to make the children’s life colorful. The Fudan University has also given away more than 10 million yuan to the region to build playgrounds(操场)and other buildings over the past 22 years.

Are fables and fairy tales different or the same? They are both stories for kids, but fables are stories for adults as well.
A fable is a story passed down (流传) from grandparents to parents and then to children. People can learn much from it. The characters are mostly animals and humans. The most famous fables were written by a man called Aesop. There are around 300 fables in Aesop’s Fables. The Fox and the Grapes and The Tortoise and the Hare are two examples.
Fairy tales are usually stories for children, often about magic characters such as fairies (仙子;小精灵) and giants (巨人). Sometimes the characters are animals. We are able to enjoy these fairy tales because about 200 years ago, Brothers Grimm traveled all around Germany and collected these stories before people forgot them. There are many fairy tales in Grimm’s Fairy Tales, such as Cinderella and The Frog Prince.

【点睛】完形填空是一种旨在考查学生语法和词汇知识综合运用能力的典型题型。它结合了单项选择题和短文填空的优点,既考查词语搭配、近义词辨析、动词时态、句型结构、复合句的关联和习惯用法等,又考查了逻辑推理和事理推断能力。如第3小题实际上考查情态动词表示推测的用法,表示有把握的推测时,must表示肯定的推测,can’t表示否定的推测,根据后面的句子“You're usually happy when you get home from school.”推测姐姐凯西推断帕蒂一定是遇到了麻烦,must表示肯定的推测,故答案为B。另外,第7小题是考查连词辨析,要根据上下文的语境去准确判断上下句是并列关系,因果关系还是转折关系,从而确定恰当的连词。

Are fables and fairy tales different or the same? They are both stories for kids, but fables are stories for adults as well.
A fable is a story passed down (流传) from grandparents to parents and then to children. People can learn much from it. The characters are mostly animals and humans. The most famous fables were written by a man called Aesop. There are around 300 fables in Aesop’s Fables. The Fox and the Grapes and The Tortoise and the Hare are two examples.
Fairy tales are usually stories for children, often about magic characters such as fairies (仙子;小精灵) and giants (巨人). Sometimes the characters are animals. We are able to enjoy these fairy tales because about 200 years ago, Brothers Grimm traveled all around Germany and collected these stories before people forgot them.
