Anything we didn’t eat at one meal was leftovers(剩菜). I can remember my grandma making a huge pot of potatoes. We would all eat until we were full enough, but there were always about half of the potatoes leftover. A few days later, Grandma would take those potatoes out of the fridge, boil some noodles, add some vegetables and mix them all together. And I also remember when I watched my mum fry bacon(煎培根)for us in the mornings, she would always take the oil carefully and pour it into a bottle. Then she would use it later to add flavor(风味)to so many other dishes. I was an adult before I realized that potatoes didn’t actually taste like bacon! I learned their lessons well, and after I grew up, I tried to never waste food myself. I always planned the week's meals ahead of time and only bought what was on my shopping list so that nothing went to waste. Every meal went into our stomachs and any leftovers were later eaten by me, my boys, my husband, or my dogs. To me, throwing food into the bin was just wrong. However, when it comes to living, there are no leftovers. Life is just like a meal. Each moment that you don’t live is lost forever. Life cannot be saved or stored. Each day is a fresh beginning. Live each moment of your life to the fullest, then. 5. The writer’s grandma used the leftover potatoes to________. A. mix with noodles B. fry some eggs C. fry bacon D. make soup 6. Who ate leftovers in the writer’s family in order not to waste every meal? ① Her children ② Her husband ③ Herself ④ Her grandpa A. ①②④ B. ①③④ C. ②③④ D. ①②③ 7. How did the writer save food according to the passage? A. By shopping more B. By throwing it away. C. By following her mother’s advice D. By planning the next week’s food. 8. What can we learn from the passage? A. Small actions can make a big difference B. No pains, no gains. C. Neither food nor life should be wasted D. There is no such thing as a free lunch. C A recent study says volunteering can be good for health. Maybe it could help with some problems the youth are facing these days. The new study found that volunteering through school or other groups is connected with better health among children and teens. The study found kids who took part in voluntary work were 34% more likely to be in very good physical health than those who didn’t. And those who volunteered were 66% more likely to be considered to do well in general. Kids aged 12 and older who volunteered were 25% less likely to have pressure than those who didn’t. The findings come from information provided by the parents of some 50,000 kids in the United States aged between 6 and 17. About half of those parents reported that their kids did voluntary work. The result of the study comes at an important time for youth health. In recent years, more and more young people suffer from pressure. More than 40% of high school students are reported to experience sadness or hopelessness in 2021. So there’s a clear need for convenient and useful methods of solving this problem. Giving back to society may be one choice. And this study isn’t the only one to reach that conclusion. However, the study like this has virtues, but it has other problems too. For example, parents answered questions about their kids’ health and voluntary activities. But parents might not know if their children have pressure or consider themselves to be doing well. Kids and teenagers who volunteer aren’t just helping others. They might also be helping themselves. 9. Through the numbers in Paragraph 2 we can know ________. A. 50% of kids are in good physical health B. doing voluntary work is good for kids C. parents don’t allow kids to do voluntary work D. kids aged between 6 and 17 like doing voluntary work best 10. How did over 40% of high school students feel in 2021? A. They felt angry easily. B. They often felt nervous. C. They felt sad without hope. D. They felt pleased with themselves. 11. What does the underlined word “virtues” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Advantages. B. Endings. C. Choices. D. Decisions. 12. What can be the best title of this passage? A. Help Others, Help Oneself B. Choices for Voluntary Work C. Voluntary Work Improves Kids’ Health D. Healthy People Do More Volunteering D Many people believe that goldfish only have a seven-second memory, but Roy Stokes, a 15-year-old schoolboy from Australian Science and Mathematics School has just finished an experiment to tell us that it is not true. He shows everybody that goldfish are smarter than we think. “I don’t believe that they have a seven-second memory because animals need their memories, so they can know where the food is,” he said. He did the experiment in a small box of goldfish. “I decided to get a red mark and just feed them next to the mark. Every day I put it in and dropped food around it,” he said. “At first they were a bit afraid of it, but by the end of the three weeks, they were actually almost coming before I put the food in.” After leaving the goldfish alone for a week, Roy put the red mark in the box again. “They remembered perfectly well,” he said. “They actually had a time faster than the three feeds before I left.” The goldfish showed that they not only could store information, but also had the ability to get it back at a later date. Colum Brown, a researcher at Macquarie University in Sydney, has studied fish behavior for more than ten years. He says his studies show that fish are smart and that they know how to avoid enemies (躲避敌人) and catch food like any other animal. As an experienced expert, Colum thinks that Roy’s experiment is really good. 13. Roy began his research by ________. A. discussing with his classmates B. making friends with goldfish C. asking his teacher for advice D. questioning a popular idea 14. What is the right order of Roy’s experiment? ① get a red mark and feed them ② leave the goldfish alone for a week ③ put the mark back into the box ④ find a box of goldfish A. ④①②③ B. ④③①② C. ①③②④ D. ③②④① 15. Roy’s experiment tells us that ________. A. goldfish have a seven-second memory B. goldfish can catch enemies like any other animal C. goldfish cannot catch food like any other animal D. goldfish are smarter than we think 16. What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To tell us goldfish have a seven-second memory. B. To introduce a young goldfish expert. C. To tell us a new study beats against goldfish memory myth (神话). D. To show us how goldfish learn and remember. 第二节阅读短文, 从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项, 其中有一个多余的选项。 E Self-love is the key to a happy life. ___17___ You have to learn some steps to develop self-love.

Some restaurants use robots to cook food, serve customers, and even clean tables. Should robots take the place of human workers in restaurants? Let’s take a look at its pros and cons (利弊). One major advantage (优点) of using robots in restaurants is that robots can work fast and do not need breaks. They can prepare food and serve customers quickly, cutting down waiting time. Another advantage is cost-saving. Robots do not require salaries (薪水) like human workers. Also, robots make fewer mistakes than humans. This improves service quality. However there are also disadvantages (缺点). First, robots cannot understand customers’ feelings or communicate with them warmly. This may make the dining experience less enjoyable. Second, if a robot breaks down, the restaurant may have trouble serving customers. Lastly, using robots might take away jobs from people which will lead to unemployment (失业). All in all, using robots to work in restaurants has both advantages and disadvantages. 41. What do some restaurants use robots to do? __________________________________ 42. How many advantages of using robots in restaurants does the writer talk about? __________________________________ 43. List two disadvantages of using robots in restaurants according to the passage. __________________________________ 44. What do you think of using robots to work in restaurants? Write 30 words or more. __________________________________ 五、书面表达（满分20分） 45. 在我们的人生旅程中，“做更好的自己”是一个永恒的主题：从学习新技能到发展爱好，从建立友谊到学会担当，都是不断克服困难、自我提升的过程。 假如你是李辉，学校英文网站正在开展以“Be a better me”为题目的征文活动。请你向网站投稿，分享一次成长的经历和感悟。提示要点： 1. 介绍什么使你成为更好的自己。 2. 分享自己的一次成长经历。 3. 谈谈你的感受和收获。 注意： 1. 词数80—100，开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； 2. 必须写全提示要点，可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3, 邮件中不能出现真实姓名及学校名称。 4. 参考词汇（选用）：confidence（信心）, bravery（勇气）, perseverance（毅力）, experience, grow Be a better me ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 锦州市2024~2025学年度八年级（下）期末质量检测 英语试卷 本试卷共 45 道题 考试时间: 90 分钟 试卷满分: 90分 考生注意: 请在答题卡各题目规定答题区域内作答, 答在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 选择题（共 50 分） 一、阅读理解（共20小题, 每小题2分; 满分40分） 第一节阅读下面语言材料, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Summer Volleyball Camp Who: Students from Grade Four to Grade Eight When: 8:30 a.m. -12:00, July 18 (Fri.)-July 21 (Mon.)

Maybe it could help with some problems the youth are facing these days. The new study found that volunteering through school or other groups is connected with better health among children and teens. The study found kids who took part in voluntary work were 34% more likely to be in very good physical health than those who didn’t. And those who volunteered were 66% more likely to be considered to do well in general. Kids aged 12 and older who volunteered were 25% less likely to have pressure than those who didn’t. The findings come from information provided by the parents of some 50,000 kids in the United States aged between 6 and 17. About half of those parents reported that their kids did voluntary work. The result of the study comes at an important time for youth health. In recent years, more and more young people suffer from pressure. More than 40% of high school students are reported to experience sadness or hopelessness in 2021. So there’s a clear need for convenient and useful methods of solving this problem. Giving back to society may be one choice. And this study isn’t the only one to reach that conclusion. However, the study like this has virtues, but it has other problems too. For example, parents answered questions about their kids’ health and voluntary activities. But parents might not know if their children have pressure or consider themselves to be doing well. Kids and teenagers who volunteer aren’t just helping others. They might also be helping themselves. 9. Through the numbers in Paragraph 2, we can know ________. A. 50% of kids are in good physical health B. doing voluntary work is good for kids C. parents don’t allow kids to do voluntary work D. kids aged between 6 and 17 like doing voluntary work best 10. How did over 40% of high school students feel in 2021? A. They felt angry easily. B. They often felt nervous. C. They felt sad without hope. D. They felt pleased with themselves. 11. What does the underlined word “virtues” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Advantages. B. Endings. C. Choices. D. Decisions. 12. What can be the best title of this passage? A. Help Others, Help Oneself B. Choices for Voluntary Work C. Voluntary Work Improves Kids’ Health D. Healthy People Do More Volunteering 【答案】9. B 10. C 11. A 12. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了一项关于志愿服务对青少年健康影响的研究。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The study found kids who took part in voluntary work were 34% more likely to be in very good physical health than those who didn’t. And those who volunteered were 66% more likely to be considered to do well in general. Kids aged 12 and older who volunteered were 25% less likely to have pressure than those who didn’t.”可知，参与志愿工作的孩子比不参与的孩子在身体健康、整体表现和压力方面都有更好的表现。因此，通过第二段中的数据，我们可以知道做志愿工作对孩子们有好处。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“More than 40% of high school students are reported to experience sadness or hopelessness in 2021.”可知，2021年超过40%的高中生感到悲伤或绝望。故选C。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“However, the study like this has virtues, but it has other problems too.”可知像这样的研究有其优点，但也有其他问题，virtues在此处指的是研究的优点或优势。故选A。 【12题详解】 最佳标题题。本文主要讲述了志愿工作对儿童和青少年健康的积极影响，尤其是通过数据和研究发现，参与志愿工作的孩子在身体健康、整体表现和压力方面都有更好的表现。因此，最合适的标题是“志愿工作改善孩子们的健康”。故选C。 D Many people believe that goldfish only have a seven-second memory, but Roy Stokes, a 15-year-old schoolboy from Australian Science and Mathematics School has just finished an experiment to tell us that it is not true.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了许多人认为金鱼只有七秒钟的记忆，但是15岁的Roy Stokes通过实验证明金鱼比我们想象的要聪明得多。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Many people believe that goldfish only have a seven-second memory, but Roy Stokes, a 15-year-old schoolboy from Australian Science and Mathematics School has just finished an experiment to tell us that it is not true.”可知，他的研究是从质疑一种流行的说法开始的。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He did the experiment in a small box of goldfish…I decided to get a red mark and just feed them next to the mark”；“After leaving the goldfish alone for a week, Roy put the red mark in the box again.”可知，正确顺序是：找一箱金鱼→画一个红色标记，喂它们→让金鱼单独待一个星期→把标记放回箱子里。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He shows everybody that goldfish are smarter than we think.”可知，金鱼比我们想象的要聪明。故选D。 【16题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了许多人认为金鱼只有七秒钟的记忆，但是15岁的Roy Stokes通过实验证明金鱼比我们想象的要聪明得多，C项“告诉我们一项新的研究打破了金鱼记忆的神话”符合。故选C。 第二节阅读短文, 从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项, 其中有一个多余的选项。 E Self-love is the key to a happy life. ___17___ You have to learn some steps to develop self-love.

However, there are also disadvantages (缺点). First, robots cannot understand customers’ feelings or communicate with them warmly. This may make the dining experience less enjoyable. Second, if a robot breaks down, the restaurant may have trouble serving customers. Lastly, using robots might take away jobs from people which will lead to unemployment (失业). All in all, using robots to work in restaurants has both advantages and disadvantages. 41. What do some restaurants use robots to do? __________________________________ 42.
