That summer, we went to an 18 and saw a drawing on show by a famous artist. The lines began at a small point and went out in all directions. The artist drew the houses to fit the lines perfectly. Math was in art! Before school started, we went to the beach. My brother picked up seashells (贝壳) and showed me 19 they grow in mathematical patterns (数学模式), going from small to large. Math again! Now I grow up. What do I do? Do I build things like my brothers? Well, I 20 math every day in my job. I count, add, divide (除) and work with patterns. What’s my job? I write music!

A lot of students think that listening to their favorite songs helps them study better, so they listen to their loved music when they are revising (复习). But does it really make them learn more? And will it be different if they choose different kinds of music?    How to research To answer these questions, teachers from Cardiff Metropolitan University recently started a study. They divided (分配) students into different groups:o Group A: revised without music; o Group B: revised to music without words; o Group C: revised to music with words they liked; o Group D: revised to music with words they disliked. The students then took a test on what they had been revising. Main findings ☆ Group A did better in the exam than the other three groups. ☆Group B got higher scores than Group C and Group D． ☆ Group C and Group D both got the same score, lower than usual.    21．Which group got the most correct answers after the test? A．Group A． B．Group B． C．Group C． D．Group D． 22．What do the teachers find out from the study? A．Music with liked words is really good for students’ study. B．Music with words makes students study better than before C．Music without words is able to help students get full scores. D．Music with liked and disliked words are the same for learning. 23．According to the study, what should students pay attention to in their study? A．Music clubs. B．Sports games. C．Learning habits. D．After-school lessons B ①Some people say that the UK and the US are two countries separated (分割) by a common language. It means although both Americans and the British speak English, there are many differences in the way they use the language. Having studied in both countries, I have found the differences are more than differences such as pronunciations and spellings. A big difference is communication styles (风格): ②I spent one term in the UK, and the biggest challenge for me was that people don’t always say things directly. The British are famous for being polite. So polite, in fact, that they sometimes say the contrary of what they really mean. For example, when the British say “I almost agree”, don’t think they have similar opinions to you. Actually, they mean “I don’t agree at all”. Before I could fully understand how the British communicate, I went home. ③Later, I went to study in the US for one year. I found that Americans like to be straight with others. When I spoke to them, I often had trouble getting straight to the point. For example, when I wanted to ask for help, I liked to say, “Excuse me, I’m terribly sorry to bother you, but I seem to be lost. Would you be so kind to lend me a hand in finding my way to the nearest station?” But Americans would find it strange. They would just say, “Hey, sorry to bother you. I’m really lost and need to find the nearest station. Can you help me?” I realized I had to learn a whole new way of communicating. ④Now, I have a better understanding of how to communicate in both countries, but I still have a lot to learn. As my experiences show, learning the pronunciation and spelling of words in a language is just the beginning! 根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。 24．What does the underlined word “contrary” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Opposite. B．Similarity. C．Meaning. D．Same. 25．How does the writer develop Paragraph 2? A．By explaining the facts. B．By using numbers. C．By giving an example. D．By comparing two facts. 26．What do we know about the writer from the last paragraph? A．She has found a new way to learn English. B．She has a long way to go to learn English. C．She wants to start learning English again. D．She plans to study in the US for longer. 27．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A．①②/③④ B．①/②③/④ C．①②/③/④ D．①/②/③④ 28．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Communicating Like the British. B．Ways of Making Communication Interesting. C．UK and US: Common Language, Different Styles. D．UK and US: Different Countries, Common Cultures. C Do you know that vocabulary is more important than grammar? If you have good vocabulary, you can communicate successfully, even if the grammar is not completely perfect. However, one common problem is learning new words and then forgetting them. So, when you want to use a new word in a conversation, you can’t remember it at that moment. Does this often happen to you? The reason for this difficulty is that most students try to learn vocabulary by studying lists and dictionaries and remembering the words. But it may not work if you don’t have a very good memory. The best way to learn vocabulary and remember the words successfully is to learn new words and use them at once. You can do this with a very simple exercise. Each time you learn a new word, for example, from an English lesson or an article, write it down in your vocabulary notebook. Writing is more active than just reading a definition（释义）. You should write the word, the definition in English or translation, one example sentence from the article or dictionary and one example sentence that you create. Imagine you just learn the word “generous”, write in your vocabulary notebook: generous (adjective), definition—giving or willing to give freely. Example One, from the article: Thanks for paying for my dinner, you’re very generous. Example Two, my example: My brother is generous because he volunteers at the animal shelter on weekends. It’s best if your example sentences are true to your life, because this creates a personal connection with the new word. The next day, read your vocabulary notebook again and try to add one more example sentence using the new word. It’s helpful for you to remember it. These two simple steps—writing the word and using it at once—help you remember and use new words. 29．The passage was mainly written to ________. A．English teachers B．language learners C．English writers D．language readers 30．The correct order of taking vocabulary notes is ________. a. Make your own example sentence. b. Write the word, its English definition or translation. c. Copy an example sentence from the article or dictionary. d. Read your notebook again and add one more example sentence. A．b-c-a-d B．b-c-d-a C．c-d-b-a D．c-b-a-d 31．How can we make the best example sentences according to the writer? ________ A．By asking for help from friends. B．By explaining words’ definitions. C．By connecting them with our life. D．By adding words from the article. 32．The best title of the passage is ________. A．Tips for Translating Words B．Advice on Using Grammar C．Abilities of Creating Examples D．Ways of Learning New Words D In a school, you may hear a student saying in Chinese, “I’m very/really/quite interested in Chinese.” But you’re not in China. You’re in a foreign country. Like the student, many foreigners are learning Chinese. But it’s not easy, the Chinese use a different character for each word. People have to memorize about 600 characters before they can do even basic reading and writing. For foreigners, it’s hard to memorize them. And the following chart shows the top 3 difficulties for foreigners while learning Chinese. ●Writing Chinese characters (汉字) ●Understanding the same word in different sentences ●Reading Chinese poems April 20 Chinese Language Day As one of the six official working languages of the United Nations. Chinese Language Day has been celebrated since 2011. The UN holds colorful activities on this day. This helps spread (传播) Chines and Chinese culture. However, Chinese is more popular around the world today. The long history and colorful culture of China attract many foreigners to learn Chinese. With the rapid development, China is staying ahead in many fields and is playing its role in the world. Chinese is becoming a global language and its popularity has risen around the world. Many countries set up Chinese courses in their schools. For example, in the UK, students used to choose between Spanish, Latin, French and other foreign languages. But now schools encourage their students to study Chinese. The increase in the popularity of Chinese has been surprising, 1,031 people took Chinese language exams in 2001, and the number was 2,062 last year, while 2,561 people chose Spanish. It’s predicted that studying Chinese in the UK could overtake Spanish in less than five years. Just like the foreigners do, we also learn foreign languages. Different languages carry different cultures. So exchanges are necessary. By learning a foreign language, we not only have a useful tool of communicating, but experience a new culture, What’s more, learning a foreign language well will help us tell our own stories to the world. 33．Which of the following is the most difficult for foreigners to learn Chinese? A．Writing Chinese characters. B．Writing Chinese sentences. C．Pronouncing Chinese characters. D．Understanding Chinese grammar. 34．How long is the history of Chinese Language Day? A．For 5 years. B．For 12 years. C．For 14 years. D．For 24 years. 35．What does the writer want to tell us from the example of Chinese learning in the UK? A．More Chinese teachers are needed in the UK. B．Chinese is becoming more and more popular in the UK. C．British people always choose Spanish as their second language. D．More and more people in the UK like to know more foreigners. 36．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Everyone needs to learn a foreign language. B．We should use proper ways to learn Chinese well. C．Learning Chinese is important to tell Chinese stories. D．Chinese language’s popularity has risen around the world. 四、选词填空 (本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) 阅读短文，从方框中选出正确的词并用其适当形式填空，使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一词，每词限用一次。 never  first  when  between  happy  they  join  story  in  different The Confucius Institute (the CI，孔子学院) helps make many young foreign (外国的) students’ dream come true.

When we read, we open 47 (we) to new worlds, ideas and knowledge. First of all, reading helps improve our language skills. By reading different kinds of books, we can learn new 48 (word) and sentence structures. It also makes it easier for us to understand grammar rules. What’s more, reading can 49 (develop) our imagination. We can picture the stories in our minds as we read, which helps us think as 50 (clear) as we can. Moreover, reading is a good way 51 (relax). After a long day of study, we can enjoy a good book to get away from stress. It allows us to get into different stories and forget our worries for 52 while. If you have problems 53 (get) a peaceful mind, you shouldn’t give up reading. In order to form a good reading habit, we should save some time each day for reading. Instead 54 reading the difficult books, we can start with books that interest us. Whether it’s a science fiction novel 55 a history book, every book has something valuable to offer. So, if you 56 (not read) a book today yet. pick up a book and start reading now! 47._______________ 48._______________ 49._______________ 50._______________ 51._______________ 52._______________ 53._______________ 54._______________ 55._______________ 56._______________ 六、任务型阅读 (本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) American and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between British English and American English. First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don’t say each word separately. They say several words together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don’t know.” Or they may say “Whaddya say?” instead of “What did you say?” However, the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate. Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English. Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries. Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you “phone them up”. In America, you “give them a call”. When you are saying goodbye in England you might say “Cheerio!” In America you might say “See you later.” There’re also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. They say “Do you have a storybook?” But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say “Have you a storybook?” All these differences can be confusing (易混淆的) if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. Differences between British English and American English British English American English. Sound The British are more 57 in their speech. They usually say all the words and 58 them separate. American people often say 59 words together. They don’t say each 60 separately. 61 People drive lorries in England. People drive 62 in America. Expressions If the British want to telephone their friends, they’ll “ 63 them up”. If the Americans want to telephone their friends, they’ll “give them a 64 ”. 65 British people often leave out the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. Americans usually 66 the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. 57._______________ 58._______________ 59._______________ 60._______________ 61._______________ 62._______________ 63._______________ 64._______________ 65._______________ 66._______________ 七、书面表达(共8分) 67．英语是中学阶段的一门重要课程。但是，有的同学因学习方法不当而学习效果不佳；有的同学因畏惧困难而放弃了英语学习……针对这些现象，《学生英文报》展开了“怎样学好英语”的讨论。请你以“How to Learn English Well?”为题，谈谈你对英语学习的看法和学好英语的一些建议。 要求： 1.词数：80~100； 2.字迹工整，语言流畅，表达正确，逻辑清晰。 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 / 7 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… 此卷只装订不密封 ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… … 学校：______________姓名：_____________班级：_______________考号：______________________ 2025-2026学年八年级上册英语单元测试 Unit 3·提升卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：90分钟，满分：100分） 一、单项选择 (本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) 1．— You haven’t said a ________ word since last Friday.

What’s more, reading can 49 (develop) our imagination. We can picture the stories in our minds as we read, which helps us think as 50 (clear) as we can. Moreover, reading is a good way 51 (relax). After a long day of study, we can enjoy a good book to get away from stress. It allows us to get into different stories and forget our worries for 52 while. If you have problems 53 (get) a peaceful mind, you shouldn’t give up reading. In order to form a good reading habit, we should save some time each day for reading. Instead 54 reading the difficult books, we can start with books that interest us. Whether it’s a science fiction novel 55 a history book, every book has something valuable to offer.

But sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between British English and American English. First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don’t say each word separately. They say several words together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don’t know.” Or they may say “Whaddya say?” instead of “What did you say?” However, the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate. Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English. Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries. Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you “phone them up”. In America, you “give them a call”. When you are saying goodbye in England you might say “Cheerio!” In America you might say “See you later.” There’re also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. They say “Do you have a storybook?” But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say “Have you a storybook?” All these differences can be confusing (易混淆的) if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. Differences between British English and American English British English American English. Sound The British are more 57 in their speech. They usually say all the words and 58 them separate. American people often say 59 words together.

And will it be different if they choose different kinds of music?    How to research To answer these questions, teachers from Cardiff Metropolitan University recently started a study. They divided (分配) students into different groups:o Group A: revised without music; o Group B: revised to music without words; o Group C: revised to music with words they liked; o Group D: revised to music with words they disliked. The students then took a test on what they had been revising.

It means although both Americans and the British speak English, there are many differences in the way they use the language. Having studied in both countries, I have found the differences are more than differences such as pronunciations and spellings. A big difference is communication styles (风格): ②I spent one term in the UK, and the biggest challenge for me was that people don’t always say things directly. The British are famous for being polite. So polite, in fact, that they sometimes say the contrary of what they really mean. For example, when the British say “I almost agree”, don’t think they have similar opinions to you. Actually, they mean “I don’t agree at all”. Before I could fully understand how the British communicate, I went home. ③Later, I went to study in the US for one year. I found that Americans like to be straight with others. When I spoke to them, I often had trouble getting straight to the point. For example, when I wanted to ask for help, I liked to say, “Excuse me, I’m terribly sorry to bother you, but I seem to be lost. Would you be so kind to lend me a hand in finding my way to the nearest station?” But Americans would find it strange. They would just say, “Hey, sorry to bother you. I’m really lost and need to find the nearest station. Can you help me?” I realized I had to learn a whole new way of communicating. ④Now, I have a better understanding of how to communicate in both countries, but I still have a lot to learn. As my experiences show, learning the pronunciation and spelling of words in a language is just the beginning! 根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。 24．What does the underlined word “contrary” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Opposite. B．Similarity. C．Meaning. D．Same. 25．How does the writer develop Paragraph 2? A．By explaining the facts. B．By using numbers. C．By giving an example. D．By comparing two facts. 26．What do we know about the writer from the last paragraph? A．She has found a new way to learn English. B．She has a long way to go to learn English. C．She wants to start learning English again. D．She plans to study in the US for longer. 27．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A．①②/③④ B．①/②③/④ C．①②/③/④ D．①/②/③④ 28．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Communicating Like the British. B．Ways of Making Communication Interesting. C．UK and US: Common Language, Different Styles. D．UK and US: Different Countries, Common Cultures. 【答案】24．A 25．C 26．B 27．B 28．C 【导语】本文介绍了作者在英国和美国的学习经历，表明英美两国在英语使用上的差异，尤其是交流风格的不同。 24．词义猜测题。根据“So polite, in fact, that they sometimes say the contrary of what they really mean”可知他们如此礼貌，以至于有时会说出与他们真实想法相反的话，故此处划线部分意为“相反的”。故选A。 25．细节理解题。根据“I spent one term in the UK”以及“For example”可知作者是通过举例发展第二段的。故选C。 26．细节理解题。根据“Now, I have a better understanding of how to communicate in both countries, but I still have a lot to learn”可知作者仍然有很多要学的。故选B。 27．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段引出话题；第二和第三段介绍了自己的经历；第四段进行总结。故选B。 28．最佳标题题。本文介绍了作者在英国和美国的学习经历，表明英美两国在英语使用上的差异，尤其是交流风格的不同，以选项C“英国和美国：共同的语言，不同的风格”为标题最合适。故选C。 C Do you know that vocabulary is more important than grammar? If you have good vocabulary, you can communicate successfully, even if the grammar is not completely perfect. However, one common problem is learning new words and then forgetting them. So, when you want to use a new word in a conversation, you can’t remember it at that moment. Does this often happen to you? The reason for this difficulty is that most students try to learn vocabulary by studying lists and dictionaries and remembering the words. But it may not work if you don’t have a very good memory. The best way to learn vocabulary and remember the words successfully is to learn new words and use them at once. You can do this with a very simple exercise. Each time you learn a new word, for example, from an English lesson or an article, write it down in your vocabulary notebook. Writing is more active than just reading a definition（释义）. You should write the word, the definition in English or translation, one example sentence from the article or dictionary and one example sentence that you create. Imagine you just learn the word “generous”, write in your vocabulary notebook: generous (adjective), definition—giving or willing to give freely. Example One, from the article: Thanks for paying for my dinner, you’re very generous. Example Two, my example: My brother is generous because he volunteers at the animal shelter on weekends. It’s best if your example sentences are true to your life, because this creates a personal connection with the new word. The next day, read your vocabulary notebook again and try to add one more example sentence using the new word. It’s helpful for you to remember it. These two simple steps—writing the word and using it at once—help you remember and use new words. 29．The passage was mainly written to ________. A．English teachers B．language learners C．English writers D．language readers 30．The correct order of taking vocabulary notes is ________. a. Make your own example sentence. b. Write the word, its English definition or translation. c. Copy an example sentence from the article or dictionary. d. Read your notebook again and add one more example sentence.

They say “Have you a storybook?” All these differences can be confusing (易混淆的) if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. Languages change over time.
