Do you find it easier to chat in the past but now it’s difficult? Do you and your parents often disagree on things? You’re not alone. Many kids and their parents have such experiences. When you’re growing up, your body changes a lot. You might worry about getting taller or heavier than your friends, or about your voice changing or getting spots on your face. When you feel worried, you might get angry at your parents sometimes. It’s also hard to balance (平衡) your feelings as you grow up. You get to a strange time called middle ground—no longer a small child but not quite an adult (成人). You want to do things by yourself more, but you still need your parents’ love and help. You want to make decisions by yourself, but your parents might not always agree. This can make you feel sad. But don’t worry too much about arguments with your parents. Many kids have them too. The most important thing is to talk to them. Tell them how you feel, even if it’s hard. They might not agree with you right away, but if you keep talking and listening to each other, you can find a way to make things better. Remember, your parents love you and want to help you. Sometimes they forget how hard it is to grow up. But if you keep talking to them and trying to understand each other, you can work things out. So keep trying, and you’ll find that you and your parents can get along just fine. 1．How does the writer lead into the topic? A．By telling a story. B．By asking questions. C．By listing some facts. D．By describing a picture. 2．What does “middle ground” mean in the third paragraph? A．Between being a child and an adult. B．Being a little kid. C．Being an adult. D．Being an old person. 3．What does the underlined word “This” refer to? A．Being not easy to make your own decisions. B．Always following parents’ advice at home. C．Having no time to talk or play with parents. D．Failing to balance homework and hobbies. 4．What’s the purpose (目的) of the text? A．To ask children to become more hard-working. B．To describe the change of looks to the teenagers. C．To give advice on how to get along better with parents. D．To show that teenagers have problems with their parents. Passage 2 【来源】浙江省台州路桥和合联盟2024——2025学年八年级下学期英语期中试卷 It’s just another day at school. You and your friend are talking in the classroom. Suddenly, your friend’s nose starts to bleed. What would you do? Would you be scared? Or would you do something to help your friend? In daily life, we run into emergencies (紧急情况) now and then. Nosebleeds are just one kind of emergency. But if you learn some basic first-aid (急救) skills, you can help people during emergencies and maybe even save their lives. The second Saturday of September is World First Aid Day, which will fall on Sept. 13 in 2025. Right now, it is a good time for us to learn more about first aid. First aid, as its name tells us, refers to the first steps you can take to care for someone who’s hurt. It includes keeping him safe and staying calm. It also includes getting help by telling other people or calling 120. Every year in China, 3.2 million people die in emergencies. That’s six people per minute on average. Doctors say that the first 10 minutes after an accident can make the difference between life and death. This is why it’s important for us to learn first aid. CPR (心肺复苏术) is one of the most useful first-aid skills. It can help people who’ve got cardiac arrest (心脏骤停). But if you want to perform CPR, you need to learn how to do it properly. You can take lessons offered by the Red Cross Society or some hospitals. 5．How does the writer lead into the topic? A．By giving data. B．By making a report. C．By doing a survey. D．By giving an example. 6．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 6 refer to? A．CPR. B．Cardiac arrest. C．Red Cross Society. D．First aid. 7．Which of the following is TRUE about the first aid? A．Everyone is encouraged to perform CPR. B．First aid includes keeping people nearby safe. C．CPR is the most useful for people who are hurt. D．The first 10 minutes after an accident is important. 8．What might be the best title for the passage? A．Doctors Can Help B．First Aid Matters C．CPR Works D．Emergencies Happen Passage 3 【来源】浙江省绍兴市柯桥区柯桥区联盟学校2024-2025学年八年级上学期期中试题 Many people might think that if they had more money, then they would be happier in life. For example, people might look at what others have, like expensive clothes or nice cars, and wish they could have the same. But the things that money can buy cannot bring happiness to a person for a long time. But is that really true? Studies have found that money can, in fact, make people happier. But it’s not having money that brings happiness. Instead (相反地), it’s giving money to others that makes people happy. It could be buying a gift for a friend or a family member. It could be buying a homeless person food to eat. It could be giving money to a person in need. Just think about the last time you used your own money to do something for someone else. How did you feel? Whether it is a small or large amount of money, people feel happier when they give. This is because making someone else happy makes the giver happy, too. This idea of connecting (关联) your happiness to the happiness of others is called ‘ubuntu’ in an African language. There is even a story about a man visiting Africa. He asked some children to race to a nearby tree. The first child to touch the tree would get sweets. Surprisingly, all the children held hands and ran together. They all touched the tree at the same time. The man asked why they did this. The children simply said they could only enjoy eating the treat if everyone had one. 9．What does the writer say about buying things? A．Buying things can make people want to make more money. B．Buying things may bring happiness for a short time. C．Buying things may bring happiness for a long time. D．Buying things can make people like what others have. 10．Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage? A．Money can’t make people happier. B．Giving money to others makes people happy. C．Having a small amount of money makes people sad. D．We shouldn’t give money to the people in need. 11．Why does the writer quote (引用) a story in Paragraph 3? A．To explain (解释) Africans like sweets. B．To show examples are not enough. C．To make the writer’s idea clearer. D．To tell that happiness is from children. 12．What does the underlined word “they” refer to (指代) in the last paragraph? A．The hands. B．The sweets. C．The children. D．The others. 13．What does the writer try to tell us? A．The key to happiness is to make others happy. B．Buying new things can make people happy. C．If you want to be happy, you can visit Africa. D．People who have a lot of money might not be happy. Passage 4 【来源】浙江省宁波市余姚市六校2024-2025学年八年级上学期期中联考英语试卷 Do you know “hui nan tian” (“hui chao”in Chinese)? It is a special weather phenomenon (现象) in southern China. It usually comes in spring when temperatures (温度) begin to warm up and the weather gets wetter and wetter quickly. Usually, before hui nan tian arrives, there are a few cold days, with a temperature below 12℃. As the cold air goes away, warmer air quickly comes and the temperature goes up. Then there is a lot of water vapor (蒸汽) everywhere, like on windows and walls. What is worse, the wet weather makes it easy for bacteria (细菌) to grow. Food often goes bad. Clothes are always wet. It can be dangerous when people turn on their televisions to watch TV. People will feel tired and sick during this time. To help people live through hui nan tian, scientists say that people in the south should close their windows in the morning and evening. At the same time, don’t mop (拖) floors very often. It’s also useful to put newspapers on the floor or at the door to take in water and wet air. 14．What is the weather like during hui nan tian? A．It is warm and wet. B．There is heavy rain every day. C．The temperature goes down quickly. D．It is cold with strong winds. 15．According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is TRUE? A．Plants grow quite fast at this time.

B．Using newspapers to take in wet air. C．Opening windows in the morning. D．Not leaving for work or school. 17．Why does the writer write the passage? A．To show us the interesting stories of hui nan tian. B．To tell us what to do during hui nan tian. C．To tell us to stay away from hui nan tian. D．To tell us something about a kind of special weather. Passage 5 【来源】浙江省温州市鹿城区2024-2025学年八年级上学期11月期中考试英语试卷 ①We know that with thousands of years of developing, people are becoming better at languages. But at the same time, language can also affect (影响) us in different aspects (方面). ②First, many studies on bilingual (双语) people show that when people change between two languages, they must think more actively than just using one, especially in the prefrontal cortex. This part at the very front of our brain is important for handling (处理) information. And bilinguals learn new languages faster. Bilingualism might make the brain stronger. One researcher found that lifelong bilinguals often get brain illnesses later than those who know only one language. Another study shows that bilinguals get well sooner. ③Language can also affect how we see the world. Studies show that English speakers think of time from back to front. But Chinese speakers think of time in the opposite way. A study found that Greek speakers could find out different colours of blue faster and better than English speakers. People who speak languages like Spanish and French may connect words with men or women traits (性状). ④What’s more, language might shape (塑造) our personality (个性). Bilinguals sometimes describe the same picture differently depending on the language they use. Studies also show that bilingual children are better at understanding others’ ideas. ⑤In short, language seems to have a bigger affect on us. The more languages we learn, the cleverer we might be. There’s still a lot to learn. 18．What do we learn about “the prefrontal cortex”? A．It makes our brain stronger. B．It’s a front part of our brain. C．It is not good for our health. D．It brings illnesses to people. 19．Which is TRUE according to the passage? A．The way Spanish people think of time is different from others. B．The Greeks feel different blues faster and better than Englishmen. C．Both English and Chinese people think of time from back to front. D．Frenchmen and Japanese people connect words with men and women traits. 20．Which of the following is the structure (结构) of the passage? A． B． C． D． 21．What’s the purpose of the passage? A．To tell how to learn languages. B．To introduce the prefrontal cortex. C．To show how language developed. D．To make people learn languages. Passage 6 【来源】浙江省温州市鹿城区2024-2025学年八年级上学期11月期中考试英语试卷 Every year, more than nine million people all over the world come to visit London. They go to the museums and theatres. They look at interesting old buildings or have a drink in a park. A quick and easy way to get to different places in the city is to take an underground train. The trains run all day and most of the night. You’d better not take the underground during rush hours because the trains are so crowded that you can hardly move or find a place to sit. London’s famous red buses form a big part of getting around in London. Although the London Underground is the fastest and easiest way of getting around London, the buses play their part and are an experience you should try at least once. By sitting on the top deck (层) of the bus, you can get a great sightseeing experience of London as well. The buses take you to many of the interesting places in the city on one journey. It takes about one and a half hours, but you can end your journey and get off (and on again) at different places you want to visit. London taxis are called “black cabs”. Most of them are black, but some are not. You can stop one if it has a “For Hire (供租用的)” sign on it. The drivers are friendly and helpful. In a word, London is a big and beautiful city — with lots to see and do. Welcome to London. 22．What does the underlined phrase “rush hours” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Busy time. B．Past time. C．Free time. D．Quiet time. 23．How can you travel around London in the easiest way? A．By car. B．By taxi. C．By bus. D．By underground. 24．Which correctly describes the red bus in London? A．You can get on and off once in a day. B．The journey takes less than two hours. C．You can stand up on the second deck. D．It is the longest way to travel in London. 25．What’s the best title of the passage? A．Living in London B．Working in London C．Travelling Around London D．Driving Around London Passage 7 【来源】浙江省金华市婺城区2024-2025学年上学期期中考试八年级英语试题 Now students’ English handwriting gets worse. That makes their teachers feel worried. Is your English handwriting beautiful? If not, here are some steps that really work. Use paper with lines. When you write English words or sentences, you can use paper with lines. That will make your handwriting straight. Those lines on the paper can help you to write words in the right size. Be sure to fill the lined space completely. And make sure those capital letters are written properly. Slow down. If your writing is hard to read, just slow down a little. Going slower makes your handwriting clearer. If you write too quickly, it’s hard for you to stop where you should, and you may make more mistakes easily. Hold your pen right. When you hold your pen in the correct way, writing is much better. Some kids press down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting bad. Try to be relaxed and don’t hold the pen so hard. Let your writing appear nice and clean. If you do so, people will guess you are a student with a good habit. Draw more pictures. Drawing can improve your handwriting. While you are drawing pictures, you need to use the skills to control your pen better. Even though you have no chance to draw at school, you can practise by drawing at home. Handwriting is very important. Imagine (想象) you are a famous movie star or a well-known sports player, what do you do when your fans run up to you? Give them your autographs (亲笔签名), of course! 26．How many suggestions are mentioned to make your handwriting beautiful? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six. 27．Which of the following is True? A．To write in the right size, you don’t need to fill the lined space completely. B．Writing more quickly can help your handwriting clearer. C．It’s difficult to write well if you hold your pen so hard. D．If you want to improve your handwriting, practise your autographs. 28．Where can you probably read this passage? A．In a dictionary. B．In a guidebook. C．In a newspaper. D．On an English learning website. 29．Which of the following can be another suggestion for beautiful handwriting? A．Great minds think the same. B．Habits die hard. C．Practice makes perfect. D．Fact speak louder than words. Passage 8 【来源】浙江省宁波市北仑区2024-2025学年八年级上学期精准联盟期中质量调研英语试题 The koala is unique (独特的) to Australia and is an important symbol of the country. The koala is found in open eucalypt (桉树) forests in south-east Queensland. Even if it is called koala bear, this animal has nothing to do with the actual bear. Koalas have thick fur and large ears. Their broad, flat nose makes them look cute, similar to teddy bears. In fact koalas aren’t cute. They have sharp teeth and very sharp claws (爪)! Koalas are marsupials (有袋类). This means the mother carries her baby in a pocket while it develops, like a kangaroo. The baby koala lives in its mother’s pocket for the first six months of its life. The name “koala” comes from a native Australian word that means “no drink”. The koalas get almost all their water from the eucalyptus leaves they eat. That’s where they get their food too. Koalas eat only eucalyptus leaves. The eucalyptus trees are where the koalas live and also where they sleep. Koalas sleep about nineteen hours a day! Why do they sleep so much? Some people think it’s because they’re lazy. But koalas aren’t lazy. They sleep so much because there isn’t much nutrition (营养) in eucalyptus leaves. Koalas store hardly any fat, so they must save their energy. One way to do this is to move slowly and sleep a lot. After a day of sleeping they like to move around and cat just after sunset. They live alone most of the time. Koalas are very protective of their trees. If a koala sees another koala eating in its favorite tree, it might tell the other koala to leave by “barking” at it. Koalas do “talk” to each other. Besides barks, the males make a deep grunting (呼噜的) sound. The mothers and babies talk in soft clicking sounds. If they get scared they may scream (尖叫) like a baby. The koala is also an excellent swimmer. They are able to cross rivers to escape from heavy flooding (泛滥). 30．According to the article, how are koalas and kangaroos alike? ______ A．They both have thick fur. B．They both have sharp teeth. C．They both eat eucalyptus leaves D．They both carry their young in a pocket. 31．The word “koala” comes from a word that means ______. A．no drink B．moving slowly C．large ears D．barking loudly 32．Why do koalas spend most of their time sleeping? A．To escape from natural enemies. B．They get tired from playing so much. C．Their food does not give them much energy. D．To protect themselves from the sun. 33．The koala can ______. A．run very fast B．jump very high C．wake most of the time D．swim very well Passage 9 【来源】浙江省台州市书生中学2024-2025学年八年级上学期期中考试英语试题 If you go into the forest with friends, stay with them. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you get lost，these are what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends—let them find you. You can help them to find you. You can shout or whistle (口哨) three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal (信号) for three times is a call for help. When people hear you, they will know that you are asking for help. If you don’t think that you can get help before night comes, try to make a little house with branches (树枝). Make a bed with leaves and grass by yourself. When you need some water, you have to leave your little house to look for a river. Don’t just walk away. Get small branches and drop them when you walk to find the way back. If you have a pen and paper, leave notes (标记) along the way. If you are careful and know what you are doing, you can also build a fire. Maybe someone will see the smoke (烟) and ask why there is a fire this time of the year, and they may come to find you. The most important one is that you must be calm when you get lost in the forest and try to enjoy being lost for a while. 34．If you get lost, you can ________ and stay where you are. A．sit down B．shout all the time C．look for friends D．do nothing 35．Which of the following is NOT TRUE? A．Stay in one place and give signals if you get lost in the forest. B．Make a house with branches if you think you’ll get help before night comes. C．Build a fire so that your friends may find you by seeing its smoke.

It has two events—one for men and one for women, 16 B-Boys and 16 B-Girls. Unlike swimming, basketball or running, breaking competitions are like bodily rap battles (对决) between two dancers. B-Boys and B-Girls compete in “one-on-one battles”. There are no templates (模板) or programs here, only pure improvisation (即兴) by listening to the DJ’s music. Whoever seriously gets the most votes (选票) from the judges (裁判) is the winner. Breaking is a sport which can be played anywhere and anytime. It is kind of street dance. It is also part of the hip hop music. It grew up during the early 1970s, especially in America. In the past, people wouldn’t believe that street dance could become an Olympic sport. However, it has come true now. It is a historic time for all dancers around the world. Breaking made it into the Olympics for two reasons. First, it’s very popular with young people. It is an extremely important point for the IOC (奥组委). And it’s also very popular in France. So, after its successful introduction at the 2018 Youth Olympics, breaking made its big Olympic Games show at Paris 2024. However, we will see it in Los Angeles 2028 Olympics as well. Not only breaking, but also Skateboarding, surfing and sport climbing also become the 2024 Paris Olympic events. These new sports make the Olympics more amazing. 38．Breaking is a kind of sport about ________. A．swimming B．climbing C．basketball D．dancing 39．In the passage “B-Boys and B-Girls” are ________.

C．Breaking: A New Olympic Sport in 2024. D．Breaking: A Kind of Popular Street Dance. Passage 11 【来源】浙江省温州市二十三中、三中、四中 2024-2025学年八年级上学期期中试卷 “Travelling by subway is much faster. Not only does it take me a few minutes to get to my office, but also I don’t worry about the traffic jam,” a traveller said. A lot of people like taking the subway.

Passage 12 【来源】浙江省舟山临城区域2024-2025学年八年级上学期期中联考英语试题 How do you feel when you have to make a speech in front of class? What about when you go to a birthday party? Do you get really shy? Shyness means feeling worried or afraid 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 (注意). Some kids are born shy. Some become shy later because of their life experiences (经历). It’s OK if it takes you a minute 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 problem of how much. Most people have red faces and talk in broken language 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 for their food. Some are afraid of meeting new people, so they hardly 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 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. 46．The writer starts the passage by ________. A．snowing facts B．listing numbers C．asking questions D．giving examples 47．The underlined phrase “to feel yourself again” in Paragraph 3 means “________”. A．to be oneself B．to change oneself C．to help oneself. D．to enjoy oneself 48．What kind of shyness can be bad according to the passage. A．You find it hard to enjoy yourself at a party. B．You feel a little nervous when you go to a new place. C．You are afraid of meeting new people and hardly go outside. D．You have a red face when you have to answer a question in class. 49．We can infer (推断) from the passage that _________. A．shy people can also be successful B．shy people can’t change themselves C．shy people become shy from their birth (出生) D．shy people are not good at working with others Passage 13 【来源】浙江省温州市三校联盟2024-2025学年八年级上学期11月期中英语试题 Today many people all over the world ride bicycles. This is because it’s a wonderful way of transport. It is also an excellent kind of exercise. Bicycles don’t pollute the air, either. Now there are about one billion bicycles in the world. But how much do you know about bicycles? About 100 million bicycles are made around the world each year. Now there are over a half billion bicycles in China. Bikes first came to China in the 1800s. Today bicycles are very important for transportation in the world. Then who invented the bicycles? A long time ago, Leonardo Da Vinci drew some pictures that looked like a bicycle. But he is not the inventor of a bicycle. In 1690, a Frenchman named De Sivrac invented the first bicycle. But it didn’t have pedals (脚蹬). In 1840, a Scottish named Kirkpatrick Macmillan added pedals. People thought of him as the inventor of the real bicycle. Riding a bicycle is good for health. Riding for three hours or thirty kilometers every week cuts your risk (风险) of heart problems in half. Many people in Asia and Europe use their bicycles when travelling nearby. However, Americans only use their bicycles once in a hundred trips. If they use their bicycles a lot, they would save a lot of gas, which is good to nature. 50．How many advantages of riding bicycles are mentioned in the first paragraph? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 51．The third paragraph mainly tells us ______. A．the history of bicycles B．the inventor of bicycles C．the problems of bicycling D．the benefits of bicycling 52．We may know that ______ from the passage.

Passage 14 【来源】浙江省温州市瑞安市2024-2025学年八年级上学期第一次教学质量调研英语试卷 A city without cars would be very strange, right? But Venice is such a city. Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn’t built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city. Even so, travel isn’t difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go. Tourists in Venice move from place to place by boat. They like to enjoy the scenery (风光) and cool summer nights when taking boat trips. They can talk to other people as they go along. Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences. One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there’s nothing special. But when they come back to the bridge an hour later, it’s underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes. Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made the ice of the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋) melt (融化). Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater. Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower. The Italian government has asked some of Italy’s biggest companies to build the MOST project to solve the problem. 54．_______ have always been the best way to go here and there in the city. A．Taxis and cars B．The waterways C．400 bridges D．Boats and rain shoes 55．Which of the following is right according to the passage? A．Tourists enjoy trips by boat in Venice.

But at the same time, language can also affect (影响) us in different aspects (方面). ②First, many studies on bilingual (双语) people show that when people change between two languages, they must think more actively than just using one, especially in the prefrontal cortex. This part at the very front of our brain is important for handling (处理) information. And bilinguals learn new languages faster. Bilingualism might make the brain stronger. One researcher found that lifelong bilinguals often get brain illnesses later than those who know only one language. Another study shows that bilinguals get well sooner. ③Language can also affect how we see the world. Studies show that English speakers think of time from back to front. But Chinese speakers think of time in the opposite way. A study found that Greek speakers could find out different colours of blue faster and better than English speakers. People who speak languages like Spanish and French may connect words with men or women traits (性状). ④What’s more, language might shape (塑造) our personality (个性). Bilinguals sometimes describe the same picture differently depending on the language they use. Studies also show that bilingual children are better at understanding others’ ideas. ⑤In short, language seems to have a bigger affect on us. The more languages we learn, the cleverer we might be. There’s still a lot to learn. 59．What do we learn about “the prefrontal cortex”? A．It makes our brain stronger. B．It’s a front part of our brain. C．It is not good for our health. D．It brings illnesses to people. 60．Which is TRUE according to the passage? A．The way Spanish people think of time is different from others. B．The Greeks feel different blues faster and better than Englishmen. C．Both English and Chinese people think of time from back to front. D．Frenchmen and Japanese people connect words with men and women traits. 61．Which of the following is the structure (结构) of the passage? A． B． C． D． 62．What’s the purpose of the passage? A．To tell how to learn languages. B．To introduce the prefrontal cortex. C．To show how language developed. D．To make people learn languages. 试卷第20页，共25页 试卷第1页，共25页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题03 阅读理解说明文类 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ Passage 1 【来源】浙江省J12共同体联盟2024-2025学年八年级上学期期中考试英语试题 阅读下面材料， 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Do you find that your dinners with your parents are less happy than before? Do you find it easier to chat in the past but now it’s difficult? Do you and your parents often disagree on things? You’re not alone. Many kids and their parents have such experiences. When you’re growing up, your body changes a lot. You might worry about getting taller or heavier than your friends, or about your voice changing or getting spots on your face. When you feel worried, you might get angry at your parents sometimes. It’s also hard to balance (平衡) your feelings as you grow up. You get to a strange time called middle ground—no longer a small child but not quite an adult (成人). You want to do things by yourself more, but you still need your parents’ love and help. You want to make decisions by yourself, but your parents might not always agree. This can make you feel sad. But don’t worry too much about arguments with your parents. Many kids have them too. The most important thing is to talk to them. Tell them how you feel, even if it’s hard. They might not agree with you right away, but if you keep talking and listening to each other, you can find a way to make things better. Remember, your parents love you and want to help you. Sometimes they forget how hard it is to grow up. But if you keep talking to them and trying to understand each other, you can work things out. So keep trying, and you’ll find that you and your parents can get along just fine. 1．How does the writer lead into the topic? A．By telling a story. B．By asking questions. C．By listing some facts.

You and your friend are talking in the classroom. Suddenly, your friend’s nose starts to bleed. What would you do? Would you be scared? Or would you do something to help your friend? In daily life, we run into emergencies (紧急情况) now and then. Nosebleeds are just one kind of emergency. But if you learn some basic first-aid (急救) skills, you can help people during emergencies and maybe even save their lives. The second Saturday of September is World First Aid Day, which will fall on Sept. 13 in 2025. Right now, it is a good time for us to learn more about first aid. First aid, as its name tells us, refers to the first steps you can take to care for someone who’s hurt. It includes keeping him safe and staying calm. It also includes getting help by telling other people or calling 120. Every year in China, 3.2 million people die in emergencies. That’s six people per minute on average. Doctors say that the first 10 minutes after an accident can make the difference between life and death. This is why it’s important for us to learn first aid. CPR (心肺复苏术) is one of the most useful first-aid skills. It can help people who’ve got cardiac arrest (心脏骤停). But if you want to perform CPR, you need to learn how to do it properly. You can take lessons offered by the Red Cross Society or some hospitals. 5．How does the writer lead into the topic? A．By giving data. B．By making a report. C．By doing a survey. D．By giving an example. 6．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 6 refer to? A．CPR. B．Cardiac arrest. C．Red Cross Society. D．First aid. 7．Which of the following is TRUE about the first aid? A．Everyone is encouraged to perform CPR. B．First aid includes keeping people nearby safe. C．CPR is the most useful for people who are hurt.

You and your friend are talking in the classroom. Suddenly, your friend’s nose starts to bleed. What would you do?”可知，作者是通过举例来引入主题的。故选D。 6．词句猜测题。根据第六段“CPR (心肺复苏术) is one of the most useful first-aid skills”可知，“It”指的是心肺复苏术，故选A。 7．细节理解题。根据第五段“Doctors say that the first 10 minutes after an accident can make the difference between life and death.”可知，事故发生后前10分钟是十分重要的。故选D。 8．最佳标题题。阅读全文可知，本文主要介绍了急救的重要性，故选B。 Passage 3 【来源】浙江省绍兴市柯桥区柯桥区联盟学校2024-2025学年八年级上学期期中试题 Many people might think that if they had more money, then they would be happier in life. For example, people might look at what others have, like expensive clothes or nice cars, and wish they could have the same. But the things that money can buy cannot bring happiness to a person for a long time. But is that really true? Studies have found that money can, in fact, make people happier. But it’s not having money that brings happiness. Instead (相反地), it’s giving money to others that makes people happy. It could be buying a gift for a friend or a family member. It could be buying a homeless person food to eat. It could be giving money to a person in need. Just think about the last time you used your own money to do something for someone else. How did you feel? Whether it is a small or large amount of money, people feel happier when they give. This is because making someone else happy makes the giver happy, too. This idea of connecting (关联) your happiness to the happiness of others is called ‘ubuntu’ in an African language. There is even a story about a man visiting Africa. He asked some children to race to a nearby tree. The first child to touch the tree would get sweets. Surprisingly, all the children held hands and ran together. They all touched the tree at the same time. The man asked why they did this. The children simply said they could only enjoy eating the treat if everyone had one. 9．What does the writer say about buying things? A．Buying things can make people want to make more money. B．Buying things may bring happiness for a short time. C．Buying things may bring happiness for a long time. D．Buying things can make people like what others have. 10．Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage? A．Money can’t make people happier. B．Giving money to others makes people happy. C．Having a small amount of money makes people sad. D．We shouldn’t give money to the people in need. 11．Why does the writer quote (引用) a story in Paragraph 3? A．To explain (解释) Africans like sweets. B．To show examples are not enough. C．To make the writer’s idea clearer. D．To tell that happiness is from children. 12．What does the underlined word “they” refer to (指代) in the last paragraph? A．The hands. B．The sweets. C．The children. D．The others. 13．What does the writer try to tell us? A．The key to happiness is to make others happy. B．Buying new things can make people happy. C．If you want to be happy, you can visit Africa. D．People who have a lot of money might not be happy. 【答案】9．B 10．B 11．C 12．C 13．A 【导语】本文讲述了金钱和幸福的关系，金钱能买到的东西不能给人带来长久的幸福，幸福的关键是让别人幸福。 9．细节理解题。根据“But the things that money can buy cannot bring happiness to a person for a long time.”可知，买东西可能会带来短暂的快乐，但并不能给一个人带来长久的幸福。故选B。 10．细节理解题。根据“Instead (相反地), it’s giving money to others that makes people happy.”可知，捐钱给别人能让人快乐。故选B。 11．推理判断题。根据“This idea of connecting (关联) your happiness to the happiness of others is called ‘ubuntu’ in an African language.”及“The children simply said they could only enjoy eating the treat if everyone had one.”可知，作者引用的故事突出了本文的主旨，即将自己的快乐与他人的快乐相联系，是为了让自己的观点更清晰。故选C。 12．词句猜测题。根据“Surprisingly, all the children held hands and ran together.”可知，他们同时摸到了树，代词they指代上文提到的children。故选C。 13．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了幸福的关键是让别人幸福。故选A。 Passage 4 【来源】浙江省宁波市余姚市六校2024-2025学年八年级上学期期中联考英语试卷 Do you know “hui nan tian” (“hui chao”in Chinese)?

They go to the museums and theatres. They look at interesting old buildings or have a drink in a park. A quick and easy way to get to different places in the city is to take an underground train. The trains run all day and most of the night. You’d better not take the underground during rush hours because the trains are so crowded that you can hardly move or find a place to sit. London’s famous red buses form a big part of getting around in London. Although the London Underground is the fastest and easiest way of getting around London, the buses play their part and are an experience you should try at least once. By sitting on the top deck (层) of the bus, you can get a great sightseeing experience of London as well. The buses take you to many of the interesting places in the city on one journey. It takes about one and a half hours, but you can end your journey and get off (and on again) at different places you want to visit. London taxis are called “black cabs”. Most of them are black, but some are not. You can stop one if it has a “For Hire (供租用的)” sign on it. The drivers are friendly and helpful. In a word, London is a big and beautiful city — with lots to see and do. Welcome to London. 22．What does the underlined phrase “rush hours” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Busy time. B．Past time. C．Free time. D．Quiet time. 23．How can you travel around London in the easiest way? A．By car. B．By taxi. C．By bus. D．By underground. 24．Which correctly describes the red bus in London? A．You can get on and off once in a day. B．The journey takes less than two hours. C．You can stand up on the second deck.

It takes about one and a half hours, but you can end your journey and get off (and on again) at different places you want to visit.”可知，旅行大约需要一个半小时，但你可以在不同的你想参观的地方结束旅程并下车（再上车）。选项B“The journey takes less than two hours.”（旅程花费不到两小时）正确。故选B。 25．最佳标题题。文章主要介绍了在伦敦旅行时可使用的不同交通工具及其特点，目的是帮助游客更好地规划他们的伦敦之行。C项最适合作标题。故选C。 Passage 7 【来源】浙江省金华市婺城区2024-2025学年上学期期中考试八年级英语试题 Now students’ English handwriting gets worse. That makes their teachers feel worried. Is your English handwriting beautiful? If not, here are some steps that really work. Use paper with lines. When you write English words or sentences, you can use paper with lines. That will make your handwriting straight. Those lines on the paper can help you to write words in the right size. Be sure to fill the lined space completely. And make sure those capital letters are written properly. Slow down. If your writing is hard to read, just slow down a little. Going slower makes your handwriting clearer. If you write too quickly, it’s hard for you to stop where you should, and you may make more mistakes easily. Hold your pen right. When you hold your pen in the correct way, writing is much better. Some kids press down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting bad. Try to be relaxed and don’t hold the pen so hard. Let your writing appear nice and clean. If you do so, people will guess you are a student with a good habit. Draw more pictures. Drawing can improve your handwriting. While you are drawing pictures, you need to use the skills to control your pen better. Even though you have no chance to draw at school, you can practise by drawing at home. Handwriting is very important. Imagine (想象) you are a famous movie star or a well-known sports player, what do you do when your fans run up to you? Give them your autographs (亲笔签名), of course! 26．How many suggestions are mentioned to make your handwriting beautiful? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six. 27．Which of the following is True? A．To write in the right size, you don’t need to fill the lined space completely. B．Writing more quickly can help your handwriting clearer. C．It’s difficult to write well if you hold your pen so hard. D．If you want to improve your handwriting, practise your autographs. 28．Where can you probably read this passage? A．In a dictionary. B．In a guidebook. C．In a newspaper. D．On an English learning website. 29．Which of the following can be another suggestion for beautiful handwriting? A．Great minds think the same. B．Habits die hard. C．Practice makes perfect. D．Fact speak louder than words. 【答案】26．B 27．C 28．D 29．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了提高英语书写水平的几个建议，包括使用有横线的纸、放慢书写速度、正确握笔和多画画等。 26．细节理解题。根据文章中的“Use paper with lines.”、“Slow down.”、“Hold your pen right.”和“Draw more pictures.”可知，文中提到了四条建议来使你的字迹美观。故选B。 27．推理判断题。根据文章中的“Some kids press down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting bad.”可知，如果握笔太紧，就很难写好字。故选C。 28．推理判断题。根据文章主要讨论的是如何使英语字迹美观，并给出了相关的建议，可以推断这篇文章可能出现在英语学习网站上。故选D。 29．推理判断题。根据文章主要讨论的是如何使英语字迹美观，并给出了四条建议，而选项C“Practice makes perfect.”意为“熟能生巧”，是另一条可以建议使字迹美观的建议。故选C。 Passage 8 【来源】浙江省宁波市北仑区2024-2025学年八年级上学期精准联盟期中质量调研英语试题 The koala is unique (独特的) to Australia and is an important symbol of the country. The koala is found in open eucalypt (桉树) forests in south-east Queensland. Even if it is called koala bear, this animal has nothing to do with the actual bear. Koalas have thick fur and large ears. Their broad, flat nose makes them look cute, similar to teddy bears. In fact koalas aren’t cute. They have sharp teeth and very sharp claws (爪)! Koalas are marsupials (有袋类). This means the mother carries her baby in a pocket while it develops, like a kangaroo. The baby koala lives in its mother’s pocket for the first six months of its life. The name “koala” comes from a native Australian word that means “no drink”. The koalas get almost all their water from the eucalyptus leaves they eat. That’s where they get their food too. Koalas eat only eucalyptus leaves. The eucalyptus trees are where the koalas live and also where they sleep. Koalas sleep about nineteen hours a day! Why do they sleep so much? Some people think it’s because they’re lazy. But koalas aren’t lazy. They sleep so much because there isn’t much nutrition (营养) in eucalyptus leaves. Koalas store hardly any fat, so they must save their energy. One way to do this is to move slowly and sleep a lot. After a day of sleeping they like to move around and cat just after sunset. They live alone most of the time. Koalas are very protective of their trees. If a koala sees another koala eating in its favorite tree, it might tell the other koala to leave by “barking” at it. Koalas do “talk” to each other. Besides barks, the males make a deep grunting (呼噜的) sound. The mothers and babies talk in soft clicking sounds. If they get scared they may scream (尖叫) like a baby. The koala is also an excellent swimmer. They are able to cross rivers to escape from heavy flooding (泛滥). 30．According to the article, how are koalas and kangaroos alike? ______ A．They both have thick fur. B．They both have sharp teeth. C．They both eat eucalyptus leaves D．They both carry their young in a pocket. 31．The word “koala” comes from a word that means ______. A．no drink B．moving slowly C．large ears D．barking loudly 32．Why do koalas spend most of their time sleeping? A．To escape from natural enemies. B．They get tired from playing so much. C．Their food does not give them much energy. D．To protect themselves from the sun. 33．The koala can ______. A．run very fast B．jump very high C．wake most of the time D．swim very well 【答案】30．D 31．A 32．C 33．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了树袋熊是澳大利亚的特色并且是这个国家的象征。文中介绍了树袋熊的生活习性等问题。 30．细节理解题。根据“Koalas are marsupials (有袋类). This means the mother carries her baby in a pocket while it develops, like a kangaroo.”可知，树袋熊和袋鼠一样，都在孩子发育过程中把孩子放在口袋里。故选D。 31．细节理解题。根据“The name ‘koala’ comes from a native Australian word that means ‘no drink’.”可知，树袋熊这个名字来自澳大利亚本土的一个词，意思是“no drink”。故选A。 32．细节理解题。根据“Why do they sleep so much? … They sleep so much because there isn’t much nutrition (营养) in eucalyptus leaves. Koalas store hardly any fat, so they must save their energy.”可知，树袋熊之所以睡觉多是因为它们的食物中没有太多的营养，它们为了节约能量，只能减少活动。故选C。 33．细节理解题。根据“The koala is also an excellent swimmer.”可知，树袋熊游泳游得很好。故选D。 Passage 9 【来源】浙江省台州市书生中学2024-2025学年八年级上学期期中考试英语试题 If you go into the forest with friends, stay with them. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you get lost，these are what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends—let them find you. You can help them to find you. You can shout or whistle (口哨) three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal (信号) for three times is a call for help. When people hear you, they will know that you are asking for help. If you don’t think that you can get help before night comes, try to make a little house with branches (树枝). Make a bed with leaves and grass by yourself. When you need some water, you have to leave your little house to look for a river. Don’t just walk away. Get small branches and drop them when you walk to find the way back. If you have a pen and paper, leave notes (标记) along the way. If you are careful and know what you are doing, you can also build a fire. Maybe someone will see the smoke (烟) and ask why there is a fire this time of the year, and they may come to find you.

It has two events—one for men and one for women, 16 B-Boys and 16 B-Girls. Unlike swimming, basketball or running, breaking competitions are like bodily rap battles (对决) between two dancers. B-Boys and B-Girls compete in “one-on-one battles”. There are no templates (模板) or programs here, only pure improvisation (即兴) by listening to the DJ’s music. Whoever seriously gets the most votes (选票) from the judges (裁判) is the winner. Breaking is a sport which can be played anywhere and anytime. It is kind of street dance. It is also part of the hip hop music. It grew up during the early 1970s, especially in America. In the past, people wouldn’t believe that street dance could become an Olympic sport. However, it has come true now. It is a historic time for all dancers around the world. Breaking made it into the Olympics for two reasons. First, it’s very popular with young people. It is an extremely important point for the IOC (奥组委). And it’s also very popular in France. So, after its successful introduction at the 2018 Youth Olympics, breaking made its big Olympic Games show at Paris 2024. However, we will see it in Los Angeles 2028 Olympics as well. Not only breaking, but also Skateboarding, surfing and sport climbing also become the 2024 Paris Olympic events. These new sports make the Olympics more amazing. 38．Breaking is a kind of sport about ________. A．swimming B．climbing C．basketball D．dancing 39．In the passage “B-Boys and B-Girls” are ________.

What about when you go to a birthday party? Do you get really shy? Shyness means feeling worried or afraid 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 (注意). Some kids are born shy. Some become shy later because of their life experiences (经历). It’s OK if it takes you a minute 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 problem of how much. Most people have red faces and talk in broken language 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 for their food. Some are afraid of meeting new people, so they hardly 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 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. 46．The writer starts the passage by ________. A．snowing facts B．listing numbers C．asking questions D．giving examples 47．The underlined phrase “to feel yourself again” in Paragraph 3 means “________”. A．to be oneself B．to change oneself C．to help oneself. D．to enjoy oneself 48．What kind of shyness can be bad according to the passage. A．You find it hard to enjoy yourself at a party. B．You feel a little nervous when you go to a new place. C．You are afraid of meeting new people and hardly go outside. D．You have a red face when you have to answer a question in class. 49．We can infer (推断) from the passage that _________. A．shy people can also be successful B．shy people can’t change themselves C．shy people become shy from their birth (出生) D．shy people are not good at working with others 【答案】46．C 47．A 48．C 49．A 【导语】本文讲述了害羞并不是一件坏事，但是不要因为它错过好机会。 46．推理判断题。根据第一段“How do you feel when you have to make a speech in front of class? What about when you go to a birthday party? Do you get really shy?”可知，作者通过提出问题来开篇。故选C。 47．词句猜测题。根据“It’s OK if it takes you a minute to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people.”可知如果当你去一个新的地方或认识新的人时，你需要一分钟来做回自己，这没关系，划线短语意为“做回自己”。故选A。 48．细节理解题。根据“Some are afraid of meeting new people, so they hardly go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.”可知有些人害怕认识新朋友，所以他们几乎不出门，这种害羞对一个人来说是不好的。故选C。 49．推理判断题。根据“Some great people in history were shy, too.”可知害羞的人也能成功。故选A。 Passage 13 【来源】浙江省温州市三校联盟2024-2025学年八年级上学期11月期中英语试题 Today many people all over the world ride bicycles.

But how much do you know about bicycles? About 100 million bicycles are made around the world each year. Now there are over a half billion bicycles in China. Bikes first came to China in the 1800s. Today bicycles are very important for transportation in the world. Then who invented the bicycles? A long time ago, Leonardo Da Vinci drew some pictures that looked like a bicycle.

People thought of him as the inventor of the real bicycle. Riding a bicycle is good for health. Riding for three hours or thirty kilometers every week cuts your risk (风险) of heart problems in half. Many people in Asia and Europe use their bicycles when travelling nearby. However, Americans only use their bicycles once in a hundred trips.

But Venice is such a city. Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn’t built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city. Even so, travel isn’t difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go. Tourists in Venice move from place to place by boat. They like to enjoy the scenery (风光) and cool summer nights when taking boat trips. They can talk to other people as they go along. Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences. One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there’s nothing special. But when they come back to the bridge an hour later, it’s underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes. Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made the ice of the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋) melt (融化). Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater. Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower. The Italian government has asked some of Italy’s biggest companies to build the MOST project to solve the problem. 54．_______ have always been the best way to go here and there in the city.

But at the same time, language can also affect (影响) us in different aspects (方面). ②First, many studies on bilingual (双语) people show that when people change between two languages, they must think more actively than just using one, especially in the prefrontal cortex. This part at the very front of our brain is important for handling (处理) information. And bilinguals learn new languages faster. Bilingualism might make the brain stronger. One researcher found that lifelong bilinguals often get brain illnesses later than those who know only one language. Another study shows that bilinguals get well sooner. ③Language can also affect how we see the world. Studies show that English speakers think of time from back to front. But Chinese speakers think of time in the opposite way. A study found that Greek speakers could find out different colours of blue faster and better than English speakers. People who speak languages like Spanish and French may connect words with men or women traits (性状). ④What’s more, language might shape (塑造) our personality (个性). Bilinguals sometimes describe the same picture differently depending on the language they use. Studies also show that bilingual children are better at understanding others’ ideas. ⑤In short, language seems to have a bigger affect on us. The more languages we learn, the cleverer we might be. There’s still a lot to learn. 59．What do we learn about “the prefrontal cortex”? A．It makes our brain stronger. B．It’s a front part of our brain. C．It is not good for our health. D．It brings illnesses to people. 60．Which is TRUE according to the passage? A．The way Spanish people think of time is different from others. B．The Greeks feel different blues faster and better than Englishmen. C．Both English and Chinese people think of time from back to front. D．Frenchmen and Japanese people connect words with men and women traits. 61．Which of the following is the structure (结构) of the passage? A． B． C． D． 62．What’s the purpose of the passage? A．To tell how to learn languages. B．To introduce the prefrontal cortex. C．To show how language developed. D．To make people learn languages. 【答案】59．B 60．B 61．B 62．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了语言对人类在多个方面的影响，包括双语对大脑功能的提升、语言如何塑造我们看待世界的方式以及语言可能对我们个性的影响。文章鼓励人们学习更多的语言，认为学习多种语言可以使我们变得更聪明，并指出在语言学习方面还有很多值得我们去探索和学习的内容。 59．细节理解题。 根据第二段中“This part at the very front of our brain is important for handling (处理) information.”可知，前额叶是我们大脑前面很重要的一个部分，用于处理信息。所以选项B“它是我们大脑的前部”正确。选项A“它使我们的大脑更强壮”虽然文中提到双语可能使大脑更强壮，但并未直接说明前额叶的作用是让大脑更强壮；选项C“它对我们的健康不好”和选项D“它给人们带来疾病”均与前额叶在文中的描述不符。故选B。 60．细节理解题。 根据第三段中“A study found that Greek speakers could find out different colours of blue faster and better than English speakers.”可知，研究发现，希腊人比英国人更快更好地辨别出不同的蓝色。所以选项B“希腊人比英国人更快更好地感受到不同的蓝色。”正确。故选B。 61．篇章结构题。 文章第一段介绍了语言和人类的关系以及语言对人类的影响；第二段介绍了双语对大脑的影响；第三段介绍了语言如何影响我们看待世界的方式；第四段介绍了语言可能塑造我们的个性；最后一段总结了语言对我们的影响，并鼓励我们学习更多的语言。根据这些内容可以判断，文章的结构是“总分总”的形式，即先总述语言和人类的关系，然后分别介绍语言的不同影响，最后总结并鼓励学习更多语言。故选B。 62．推理判断题。 文章主要介绍了语言对人类的影响，包括双语对大脑的影响、语言如何影响我们看待世界的方式以及语言可能塑造我们的个性等方面。最后一段提到“The more languages we learn, the cleverer we might be. There’s still a lot to learn.”（我们学的语言越多，我们可能就越聪明。还有很多要学的。）这表明文章的目的是鼓励人们学习更多的语言。故选D。 试卷第20页，共25页 试卷第1页，共25页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
