In Chinese culture, the snake is connected with wisdom, beauty, and independence. People born in the Year of the Snake are believed to be very intelligent. There is a legend about a race held by the Jade Emperor to select the zodiac animals. The snake, being not a good swimmer, wrapped itself around the foot of a horse. When the horse was near the finish line, the snake slid down and rushed across, getting its place in the zodiac. In Chinese history, snakes have also been a symbol of rebirth and a deep connection between humans and gods. When people saw snakes digging into the underground, they believed that these animals could connect humans, the dead and the gods. Images of humans with snake bodies were then created, showing the ability to cross between life and death. Due to their ability to shed skin (蜕皮), snakes were also connected with rebirth. However, in Western cultures, the idea of snakes is different. In Greek mythology (神话), the snake guarding the golden apples represents wisdom and protection. But in the Bible, the snake that cheated Eve into eating the forbidden fruit symbolizes dishonesty and original sin (罪恶). Therefore, in English, we always say we should be careful not to make friends with “a snake in the grass”. Whether in the East or the West, the snake has left a deep mark on cultural traditions. The Year of the Snake not only serves as a time for celebration in China but also offers a window to explore the rich and different cultural meanings connected with this mysterious creature. 16. According to the passage, the person born in the Year of the Snake is ________. A. shy B. kind C. clever D. brave 17. Images of humans with snake bodies show snakes’ ability to ________. A. wrap around the foot of a horse B. cross between life and death C. shed skin D. guard the golden apples 18. What does the underlined phrase “a snake in the grass” mean? A. A person who is very intelligent. B. A person who is good at swimming. C. A person who has the ability to run fast in the grass. D. A person who is not worth trusting. (B) The animated film Ne Zha 2: The Devil Child Comes to the Sea was released on January 29, 2025. It continues the story of Ne Zha and Ao Bing after the “Heavenly Tribulation”. After surviving the “Heavenly Tribulation”, Ne Zha and Ao Bing lost their physical bodies. Taiyi Zhenren saved them with a magical seven-colored lotus (莲花). But their souls began to disappear again. Taiyi Zhenren then decided to rebuild their bodies using some materials from Kunlun Mountain. The film shows great character development. Ne Zha, who was once rebellious (叛逆的), becomes more responsible. He starts to think about the safety of others and tries his best to protect them. Ao Bing, who was always confused about his identity, finally accepts who he is and becomes a confident warrior (勇士). Visually, the movie is a masterpiece (杰作). The scenes of flowing lava, the big sea, and the magical Kunlun Mountain are all beautifully presented. The fight scenes are full of energy and creativity, with the characters using all kinds of amazing weapons (武器). Ne Zha 2 not only provides great entertainment but also shows important messages. It tells us that we should be brave in the face of difficulties, never give up on our dreams, and always like our friends. 19. What happened to Ne Zha and Ao Bing after the “Heavenly Tribulation”? A.

He became more rebellious. C. He learned to care about others. D. He didn’t change at all. (C) Think about a scientist’s job. What pictures are in your head? Is it a person wearing a lab coat? Or is it someone looking through a big telescope (望远镜)? Perhaps it is a person studying rocks in the desert. Scientists do all of these things and they have another important job. They must share what they find out. Scientists need to communicate. They need to tell each other what they found out. They do this so they can ask new questions. So how do scientists tell each other about their work? How do they make their work clear and correct? Scientists write articles about their discoveries in scientific magazines to share their work. Then people around the world can read the articles. It is important that the articles are correct or they can affect (影响) other scientists’ research. Some young people work for Frontiers for Young Minds to review (评审) the articles scientist wrote for young readers. The youngest reviewers are 8 years old. The oldest reviewers are 15 years old. Many articles are difficult to understand. That’s why young people review them. The young reviewers work with experts (专家). They make sure that the articles are correct. How do they do this? First, the reviewers read the scientists’ articles. Then, they give comments. They let the scientist know if the article is hard to understand. They make sure that the importance of the research is clear. The young reviewers get to think like scientists. It is never too early to start. Ask questions! Learn new things. Don’t forget the importance of communicating what you find out, too. 23. How does scientists share their work according to the text? A. By asking questions. B. By looking through telescopes. C. By writing articles. D. By working for magazines. 24. Why do the young people review the articles? A. Because they make sure the articles are easy and clear. B.

Why young people work for the magazine. 26 What is the writer’s attitude to the young reviewers according to the last paragraph? A. The writer doesn’t think their work is useful. B. The writer likes them to think like scientists. C. The writer thinks it’s too late to start the work. D. The writer believes communication is important. (D) Artificial intelligence (AI) is part of our everyday life. It makes our smart devices work. You might already be using an AI program in school. But advanced chatbots, like ChatGPT, are new. They’re called generative (生成的) AI. Ask a chatbot a question, and it will create an answer. Some educators worry that chatbots could prevent students from learning on their own. Should students use AI to do their school homework? Here are two students’ different answers. YES Teaching kids how to use AI can prepare them for our technology-filled future. Using AI can help kids build the critical thinking (批判思维) and problem-solving skills. And it’s better that students learn about AI’s limitations now: its biases (偏见), its potential (可能性) to spread misinformation, and the ways it could be misused. I believe that as long as it’s done well, teaching AI in schools will change society for the better. Either you move with the times, or the times will move without you! —Alexa, 11, Seattle NO Though generative AI will be popularly used in the future, we shouldn’t introduce it into schools for a few reasons. First, chatbots and other AI programs are getting more and more advanced every day. Teachers might not know how to best integrate (使融合) them into their classes. Second, think of the cost to schools. Many wouldn’t be able to afford the latest technology, and that’s not fair to students. And most of all, AI lacks the humanity and emotion that kids get from a teacher. That human connection is important. A chatbot just feeds students information. But teachers know how to help students keep information. —Ninis Twumasi, 12, New York 27. According to Alexa, what is NOT the limitation of AI? A. AI’s biases. B. Build the critical thinking. C. The ways AI could be misused. D. AI’s potential to spread misinformation. 28. What does the underlined sentence aim to tell us? A. Students should be allowed to use AI technology. B. Students who don’t use AI have trouble succeeding. C. AI will become less and less important in the future. D. Don’t move with the times, and don’t follow the AI technology. 29. How does Ninis Twumasi feel about AI technology? A. AI lacks the humanity and emotion. B. Everyone can use the latest technology. C. Teachers know how to integrate AI into classes. D. AI knows how to help students keep information. 30. What is the statement Alexa and Ninis both agreed about AI? A. AI can help students solve problems. B. Schools cannot afford the cost of the latest technology. C. In the future, generative AI will be used more and more popularly. D. Teachers can easily use chatbots and other AI programmes in classes. 第Ⅱ卷(非选择题共45分) 四、单词拼写(共10小题，满分10分) 根据首字母或汉语提示，在答题卡上写出下列句子中单词的完全形式。 31.

Do you find it hard to focus on your homework? Maybe you aren’t getting enough sleep. Sleep is like food for the brain—it helps us stay healthy, think clearly, and even do better at school. Let’s learn why sleep matters and how to get more of it. How Much Sleep Do We Need? According to the National Sleep Foundation, teenagers (ages 13-18) need 8-10 hours of sleep each night. However, many students only get 6-7 hours, especially when they have exams or lots of homework. Lack of sleep can affect our memory, mood, and even our physical health. Studies show that sleep-deprived students are more likely to get sick and have trouble paying attention in class. What Happens When We Don’t Sleep Enough? When we sleep, our bodies and brains repair themselves. Without enough sleep: Our brain doesn’t work well: It’s harder to remember things or solve problems. We feel angry or sad more easily: Sleep helps regulate our emotions. Our immune system is weaker: We become more vulnerable to colds and flu. We may gain weight: Lack of sleep can change the hormones that control hunger, making us eat more. Why Is It Hard for Teens to Sleep? Many teenagers have trouble falling asleep early. This is partly because their body clocks naturally shift later during puberty, making them feel awake at night. Also, using phones, tablets, or computers before bed can make sleep worse. The blue light from screens tricks the brain into thinking it’s daytime, making it harder to fall asleep. Some students also stay up late studying or chatting with friends, which breaks their sleep routine. Tips for Better Sleep 1. Stick to a schedule: Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. 2. Turn off screens an hour before bed: Try reading a book or listening to calm music instead. 3. Create a good sleep environment: Keep your room dark, quiet, and cool (around 65°F/ 18°C). 4. Avoid heavy meals and caffeine at night: Don’t eat too much or drink soda/ coffee before bedtime. 5. Limit naps: Long naps during the day can make it harder to sleep at night. 51. How many hours of sleep do teenagers need each night according to the passage? __________________________ 52. What are the two effects of sleep deprivation on students mentioned in the article? __________________________ 53. Why does the blue light from screens make it hard to fall asleep? __________________________ 54. What is one tip for creating a good sleep environment? __________________________ 55. According to the passage, how does lack of sleep affect the hormones related to hunger? __________________________ 七、写作(共1题，满分15分) 56. 家是承载儿时欢笑与打闹的乐园，留存着无忧岁月的珍贵回忆；家也是困难时刻家人毫无保留支持的源泉，让我们有勇气直面风雨。随着青少年的成长，他们渴望独立，不愿意被过多干涉，因此，在与家人的相处中可能会出现一些矛盾和冲突。那么如何与家长建立良好的关系也是家庭和谐的重要基础和关键因素。你校英文周刊以“Learning to build good relationships with parents”为题，向同学们征稿。请你用英语写一篇短文投稿。 内容包括： ·your opinion about the relationship with your parents ·tell us a story happened between you and your parents ·your understanding of the relationship 要求： 1.词数不少于80； 2.文中不得出现真实的人名、校名。 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2024-2025学年度下学期期中质量检测 八年级英语试题 (时间：100分钟 满分：120分) 第Ⅰ卷(选择题 共75分) 一、听力测试(共两节，15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) 第一节 听对话选择正确答案(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，请从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中，点击最佳选项。听每段对话前，你将有5秒钟的时间阅读所给小题；听完后，每个小题将给出5秒钟的作答时间。每段对话听两遍。在听到“嘟”的提示音后，进入下一小题。 1.
