A. didn’t; shopped B. weren’t; were shopping C. weren’t; was shopping 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——昨晚我敲了你家的门，但你不在家。——哦，我当时在超市购物。 考查时态辨析和主谓一致。didn’t用于实义动词否定，不适用于状态描述；shopped为一般过去时，不强调进行动作；were shopping主语应为复数，“I”为单数，不匹配；weren’t表否定状态，“was shopping”表示过去进行。第一空表示“不在家”的状态，主语为“you”，时态为一般过去时，be动词的过去否定形式为weren’t；第二空表示过去某个时间点正在进行的动作，需用过去进行时。故选C。 2. An elephant weighs ________ more than a panda. It eats 150 ________ a day. A. many times; kilos of food B. much; kiloes of food C. many; kilos of foods 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：大象比熊猫重许多倍。它每天吃150公斤食物。 考查比较级和名词的用法。many times很多倍；much很多；many很多。第一空修饰比较级“more”，不能用many修饰，排除C；第二空表示数量单位，“kilo”是可数名词，复数应为kilos，“food”为不可数名词，排除B。故选A。 3. —When ________ Peter ________ his hometown? —At the age of twelve. He ________ his hometown for nearly twenty years. A. has; left; has left B. did; leave; has been away from C. has; been away from; has left 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——Peter 什么时候离开他的家乡？——在十二岁时。他离开家乡将近二十年了。 考查时态和动词用法。第一空：根据答语“At the age of twelve”可知，这是过去的具体时间点，需用一般过去时，因此用“did; leave”。第二空：根据“for nearly twenty years”，这是时间段，需用现在完成时且动词为延续性动词。leave是瞬间动词，不能与for短语连用，其对应的延续性表达为“be away from”，因此用“has been away from”。故选B。 4. —________ you ________ your medicine? —No, I ________ it right away. A. Have; taken; will take B. Have; had; will have C. Did; take; took 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你吃药了吗？——没有，我马上吃。 考查时态和动词短语。take medicine“吃药”，根据“you...your medicine”以及“No...”可知此处表示过去的动作对现在的影响，用现在完成时have done，排除C；根据“right away”可知此处表示即将发生的动作，用一般将来时will do。故选A。 5. He had trouble ________ after the accident ________ he was very afraid. A. to think clearly; because B. thinking clear; because of C. thinking clearly; because 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：事故后，他很难清晰地思考，因为他非常害怕。 考查非谓语动词、副词的用法和原因状语从句。because因为，后加句子；because of因为，后加名词、代词和动名词。have trouble doing sth.“做某事有困难”，修饰动词用副词clearly，第二个空后是句子，用because引导原因状语从句。故选C。 6. —Where ________ Tom ________? —I don’t know. Why ________? A. has gone; don’t you call him B. has been; not call him C. has gone to; didn’t you call him 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——汤姆去哪里了？——我不知道。为什么不给他打电话呢？ 考查现在完成时和特殊疑问句。has gone表示“去了某地（还未回来）”，has been表示“去过某地（已回来）”；“Why don’t you do sth.?”是固定句型，意为“为什么不做某事呢？”，用于提出建议。第一空根据语境“不知道汤姆现在在哪里”，可知他还未回来，且where是地点副词，用has gone；第二空用固定句型“Why don’t you call him?”。故选A。 7. —________ you ________ something to drink? —No, thanks. I ________ some tea. A. Could; please; have just drunk B. Would; like; have just drunk C. Do; want; just drank 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你想喝点什么吗？——不了，谢谢。我刚刚喝了些茶。 考查情境交际用语和动词时态。根据回答“No, thanks.”及句子结构“…you…something to drink?”可知，问句是提出建议，可以用“Would you like…?”或者“Do you want…?”，排除选项A；根据回答“No, thanks.”可知，此处表示“已经喝了茶”，强调影响，应用现在完成时“主语+have/has+动词的过去分词”。故选B。 8. —Tom has never read The Old Man and the Sea. How about you? —________ I. A. So do B. Nor did C. Neither have 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——汤姆从未读过《老人与海》。你呢？——我也没读过。 考查倒装句和助动词用法。原句“Tom has never read”使用现在完成时（助动词为has），表示否定含义。回答时需用“neither/nor+助动词+主语”结构表示“也不”，且助动词的时态和主语一致。故选C。 9. —Do you know when he ________ the project? —I’ve no idea. When he ________ it, I’ ll send you a message. A. finishes; will finish B. will finish; finishes C. will finish; will finish 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你知道他什么时候将完成这个项目吗？——我不知道。当他完成它时，我会给你发消息。 考查时态。第一个句子是宾语从句，主句为现在时，从句表示将来动作，需用一般将来时“will finish”；第二个句子是when引导的时间状语从句，遵循主将从现，从句用一般现在时，主语是he，谓语动词用三单finishes。故选B。 二、阅读理解（阅读下面A、B两篇短文，从短文后面每小题所给的三个选项中选择最佳答案。请将答案标号涂卡。） A Satchmo the Great Louis Armstrong, nickname (给……取绰号) “Satchmo”, was born in 1901 in New Orleans. At that time, jazz music was just becoming popular, and the young Armstrong loved the sound of New Orleans jazz. He started playing the cornet (短号), a brass instrument (铜管乐器) similar to a trumpet (小号). As a teenager, Armstrong spent many hours listening to local musicians play jazz. He started playing in bands himself and became famous locally. In 1922, Armstrong moved to Chicago and got a job playing the trumpet in Oliver’s Creole Jazz Band. Before long, Armstrong was considered one of the greatest trumpet players of all time. He played with many bands, moving from Chicago to New York and back to Chicago. In 1925, he made his first recordings as the leader of his own group, Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five. In the 1930s, Armstrong toured the United States and Europe. He began acting in movies, too. He stopped playing the New Orleans jazz of his youth and instead played and sang popular songs with well-known big bands. His swing-style trumpet influenced (影响) many later jazz horn players. His throaty yet smooth and rhythmic singing style was also influential. He developed a technique (技能) of singing called scat (拟声唱法). It’s said that he invented scat singing when he dropped his sheet music and could not remember the song’s words. Armstrong died in 1971. Today he is remembered not only as a great trumpeter but also as a bandleader, singer, and film star. 10. How did growing up in New Orleans influence (影响) Louis Armstrong’s life? A.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了爵士乐传奇人物路易斯·阿姆斯特朗的生平事迹，包括他的成长经历、音乐成就以及对爵士乐发展的影响。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“At that time, jazz music was just becoming popular, and the young Armstrong loved the sound of New Orleans jazz.”可知，当时爵士乐刚刚流行起来，年轻的路易斯·阿姆斯特朗喜欢新奥尔良爵士乐的声音，因此他是在新奥尔良第一次了解到爵士乐的。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“He played with many bands, moving from Chicago to New York and back to Chicago.”以及第三段中“In the 1930s, Armstrong toured the United States and Europe.”可知，路易斯·阿姆斯特朗与许多乐队合作，从芝加哥到纽约，再回到芝加哥，还曾在美国和欧洲巡回演出。由此可推断出，他喜欢和不同的乐队一起演奏。故选A。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，路易斯·阿姆斯特朗在爵士乐领域取得了巨大的成就，包括成为伟大的小号手、乐队指挥、歌手和电影明星，且他的音乐风格对后来的爵士乐演奏者产生了深远影响。由此可推断出，他是一个有才华的人。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Today he is remembered not only as a great trumpeter but also as a bandleader, singer, and film star.”可知，路易斯·阿姆斯特朗不仅作为小号手被人们铭记，还作为乐队指挥、歌手和电影明星取得了成功。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“He developed a technique of singing called scat. It’s said that he invented scat singing when he dropped his sheet music and could not remember the song’s words.”可知，路易斯·阿姆斯特朗发明了一种叫做拟声唱法的技巧，据说他是在乐谱掉落、记不起歌词时发明了这种唱法。因此，发明拟声唱法是他的一个重要成就。故选C。 B Oona and Finn McCool Long ago, on an island (岛) near Ireland, a giant (巨人) named Finn McCool lived with his clever wife Oona. Oona and Finn had a good life except for one problem. An unfriendly giant named Cuhullin lived across the river. Finn had never met this giant, but he feared Cuhullin nonetheless (尽管如此). One day, Cuhullin challenged Finn to a contest (竞赛) of strength (力量). Finn was a strong giant, but he knew that Cuhullin was stronger still, and Finn was worried. Oona, wanting to help her husband, thought of a plan. On the day that Cuhullin was to arrive, Oona dressed Finn up like a baby and put him into a giant crib (巨大的婴儿床). She also decorated (装点；装饰) an iron frying pan (铁煎锅) so that it looked like a frosted cake. Finn shook (发抖) with fear as he waited for his enemy (敌人). When the giant Cuhullin arrived, Oona told him that Finn was not at home. Then she introduced him to the“baby” Finn. Cuhullin was understandably surprised at the size of the child and wondered how large Finn must be to have a baby that size. Oona asked Cuhullin to get her some water. When he started off to the river with a pail (桶), Oona explained, “Oh, Finn usually carries the house to the water.” Cuhullin did his best not to look surprised, but he was not very happy at the idea that Finn was so strong. Finally, Oona provided Cuhullin with the cake. She gave him the frosted frying pan, and when he took a bite (一口), he nearly broke a tooth. “This is as hard as a rock,” said Cuhullin. “Oh, that’s the way Finn likes it. Look, even the baby likes it that way,” she said, pointing to Finn in the crib. She had given Finn a real cake, and he ate it happily. Cuhullin, suddenly no longer wanting to meet Finn, started making excuses about needing to go home. 15. What will Cuhullin probably do next? A. He will relax and wait for Finn. B. He will leave so that he does not meet Finn. C. He will ask for more cake. 16. How will Oona probably feel if Cuhullin leaves? A. She will be afraid. B. She will think that she is strong. C. She will want to cheat Finn next. 17. What will Finn probably do if Cuhullin leaves? A. He’ll keep pretending (假装) to be a baby. B. He’ll run after Cuhullin. C. He’ll ask for more cake. 18 Which of these is possible to happen in the future? A. Cuhullin will challenge Oona to a contest of strength. B. Cuhullin will avoid (避免) Finn and Oona. C. Oona and Finn will eat more frosted pans. 19. What will Cuhullin think of Finn? A. He will think Finn is stronger than him. B. He will think Finn is clever. C. He will help Finn get water next time. 【答案】15. B 16. B 17. C 18. B 19. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了巨人Finn McCool与他的妻子Oona如何智斗另一个巨人Cuhullin的故事。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Cuhullin, suddenly no longer wanting to meet Finn, started making excuses about needing to go home.”可知，Cuhullin突然不想见Finn了，开始找借口说要回家，因此他接下来可能会离开以避免见到Finn。故选B。 【16题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“On the day that Cuhullin was to arrive, Oona dressed Finn up like a baby and put him into a giant crib (巨大的婴儿床).”和第四段“Cuhullin was understandably surprised at the size of the child and wondered how large Finn must be to have a baby that size...but he was not very happy at the idea that Finn was so strong.”以及“Cuhullin, suddenly no longer wanting to meet Finn, started making excuses about needing to go home.”可知，Oona设计了整个计谋来保护丈夫，成功吓退了Cuhullin。如果Cuhullin离开，她会认为自己的计划成功了，感到自己很聪明或强大。故选B。 【17题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Finn shook with fear as he waited for his enemy.”和最后一段“She had given Finn a real cake, and he ate it happily. Cuhullin, suddenly no longer wanting to meet Finn, started making excuses about needing to go home.”可推知，Finn一开始就害怕Cuhullin，Oona的计策帮他化解了危机，当Cuhullin离开后，伪装成婴儿就没有必要了，他不会继续假装，而Oona给了Finn真正的蛋糕，他吃得很开心，由此可推测他可能会想要更多的蛋糕。故选C。 【18题详解】 推理判断题。根据故事发展，Cuhullin相信了Finn比他强大得多的假象，并被吓得找借口离开。因此，他未来很可能会因为害怕而避免与Finn（以及聪明的Oona）再次碰面或发生冲突。故选B。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Cuhullin was understandably surprised at the size of the child and wondered how large Finn must be to have a baby that size... Finn usually carries the house...Cuhullin did his best not to look surprised, but he was not very happy at the idea that Finn was so strong.”以及“‘Oh, that’s the way Finn likes it. Look, even the baby likes it that way,’ she said, pointing to Finn in the crib.”可知，Oona通过展示“婴儿”的巨大、描述Finn能搬动房子、以及Finn能轻松吃掉“硬如岩石的蛋糕”等假象，成功地让Cuhullin相信Finn是一个力量远超自己的巨人。因此，Cuhullin会认为Finn比自己强壮得多。故选A。 C 短文还原（阅读短文，根据短文内容，将下面的句子还原到文章中，使短文内容完整。每个选项仅使用一次，有一个多余选项。请将答案标号涂卡。） People have always been interested in animal communication and scientists have done a lot of research on this subject. ____20____ Dogs are famous for this.

Love, Feifei 【答案】39. difference 40. am writing 41. happiness 42. held 43. was running 44. has happened 45. difficulties 46. how 【解析】 【导语】本文是Feifei在生日当天写给妈妈的书信，讲述母亲对自己人生的影响，表达对母亲的爱与谢意。 【39题详解】 句意：李老师告诉我们，她的小学老师对她的人生产生了巨大影响。根据“made a huge... in her life”可知，此处为固定短语“make a difference”，意为“产生影响”，需要将形容词different转化为名词形式，故填difference。 【40题详解】 句意：我正在给你写这封信，因为我想让你知道我有多爱你。结合语境可知，此处用现在进行时表示正在进行的动作，故填am writing。 【41题详解】 句意：一位朋友曾说，一个人的幸福主要源于童年。根据“person’s”可知，后需接名词，happy的名词形式是happiness，为不可数名词，故填happiness。 【42题详解】 句意：我仍记得你牵着我的手，和我一起数步数散步的时光。根据“I still remember the times...and counted...”可知，此处是回忆童年的过去动作，用一般过去时，hold的过去式是held，故填held。 【43题详解】 句意：我仍记得当我在运动场上奋力奔跑时，你一直鼓励我。根据“I still remember you kept encouraging me when I...”可知，此处表示在过去的某一时刻正在进行的动作，应用过去进行时，故填was running。 【44题详解】 句意：时光飞逝，很多事情已经发生。“so much”指代“很多事情”，作主语时视为单数；结合“Time flies”的现在时态，此处用现在完成时表示动作的影响持续至今，故填has happened。 【45题详解】 句意：你的话鼓励我应对所有困难。“my”后需接名词，“difficult”的名词形式是difficulty，“all”后接复数形式difficulties，故填difficulties。 【46题详解】 句意：你总说我们应该通过人们日常的生活方式来评判他们的成功。根据“...they live their lives every day”可知，此处缺少引导词“how”，表示“如何（生活）”，作by的宾语，故填how。 五、完成句子（请将答案填写在答题卡指定位置。） 47. 孩子们越早学会独立，对他们的未来就越好。 ________________________________________________ 【答案】The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future. 【解析】 【详解】根据题干，可用句型“the+比较级，the+比较级”表示“越……，就越……”；越早：the earlier，句首字母需大写；孩子们：kids；学会独立：learn to be independent；越好：the better；对他们的未来：for their future。故填The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future. 48. 他在图书馆看书，就在那时暴风雨来了。 __________________________________________________ 【答案】He was reading in the library when the storm came. 【解析】 【详解】根据汉语意思可知，本句使用过去进行时与一般过去时的搭配结构。“他”表达为“he”，在句中作主语；“在图书馆看书”是过去正在进行的动作，用过去进行时“was reading”作谓语；“在图书馆”表达为“in the library”，在句中作地点状语；“暴风雨来了”是过去突然发生的动作，用一般过去时，“暴风雨”表达为“the storm”作主语，“came”作谓语；“就在那时”对应英文中“when”引导时间状语从句的结构，表达为“when the storm came”。故填He was reading in the library when the storm came. 49. 一切发生得那么快，我连思考的时间都没有。 __________________________________________________ 【答案】Everything happened so fast that I didn’t even have time to think. 【解析】 【详解】根据汉语意思可知，本句为一般过去时态。“一切”英文为“Everything”，置于句首首字母大写；“发生”英文为“happened”；“如此/那么……以至于……”英文为“so...that...”；“快”英文为“fast”；“我”英文为“I”；“没有”英文为“didn’t have”；“连/甚至”英文为“even”；“时间”英文为“time”；“思考”英文为“to think”。故填Everything happened so fast that I didn’t even have time to think. 50. 世界上最高的山多高？8,848.86米高。它比其他任何一座山都高。 __________________________________________________ 【答案】How high is the highest mountain in the world? It’s 8,848.86 meters high. It’s higher than any other mountain. 【解析】 【详解】根据汉语意思可知，本句使用一般现在时。疑问句部分：“世界上最高的山”表达为“the highest mountain in the world”，在句中作主语；“多高”用疑问词“how high”引导特殊疑问句，“世界上”表达为“in the world”，在句中作状语；故疑问句为“How high is the highest mountain in the world?”。第一句回答：“8,848.86 米高”用“It’s 8,848.86 meters high.”表达，“it”指代前文的“最高的山”，作主语；“8,848.86 meters high”作表语。第二句回答：“它比其他任何一座山都高”用比较级结构，“更高”表达为“higher”，“比其他任何一座山”表达为“than any other mountain”；故该句为“It’s higher than any other mountain.”。故填How high is the highest mountain in the world? It’s 8,848.86 meters high. It’s higher than any other mountain. 51. 你买这个模型飞机多久了？自从我上三年级，我就拥有它了。 __________________________________________________ 【答案】How long have you had this model plane? Since I was in Grade 3, I have had it. 【解析】 【详解】根据汉语意思可知，疑问句：询问“多久”需用现在完成时，表从过去持续到现在的状态，“买”是短暂性动词，不能与“how long”连用，故用延续性动词“have had”；“你”表达为“you”；作主语，“这个模型飞机”表达为“this model plane”，作宾语，因此疑问句为“How long have you had this model plane?”。回答部分：“自从我上三年级”用“since I was in Grade 3”，since引导的时间状语从句用一般过去时；“我就拥有它了”用现在完成时，表持续状态；“拥有”表达为“have had”，“它”表达为“it”，因此回答为“Since I was in Grade 3, I have had it.”。故填How long have you had this model plane? Since I was in Grade 3, I have had it. 52. 除非我们找人聊一聊，不然我们肯定会感觉更糟。 __________________________________________________ 【答案】Unless we find someone to talk to, we will certainly feel worse. 【解析】 【详解】根据汉语意思可知，本句为条件状语从句。“除非”英文为“Unless”，置于句首首字母大写；“我们”英文为“we”；“找”英文为“find”；“某人”英文为“someone”；“聊一聊”英文为“talk to”；“肯定”英文为“certainly”；“会”英文为“will”；“感觉”英文为“feel”；“更糟”英文为“worse”。故填Unless we find someone to talk to, we will certainly feel worse. 六、阅读表达（阅读下面短文，完成短文后的问题。请将答案填写在答题卡指定位置。） Footprint (脚印) in the Snow In 1951, Eric Shipton was climbing Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world. He and his team were exploring (探险) when they saw a scary sight. They saw giant (巨大的) footprints in the snow. It looked as though huge bare (裸露的) feet had made them. Each footprint was about 13 inches (33 cm) long. He said later that it was not the first time he had seen huge footprints like these on Mount Everest. Eric Shipton was a famous explorer (探险家). His pictures of the giant footprints created excitement all over the world. And, there was more to the story. A man named Sen Tensing was one of Shipton’s guides. Tensing said that he and others had once seen the creature (生物) that had made the prints. He said that it was a Yeti (雪人), or a wild man. This barefoot creature (生物) had reddish-brown fur (毛皮) on half of his body. The Yeti was more than five feet (1.52 m) tall. Shipton let someone ask Tensing about the event. Shipton said that he believed Tensing. The explorer also said that he was sure the footprints were not made by a bear or a mountain ape (类人猿). Others were not so sure. Some thought that the huge footprints were made by a bear that lives in the mountains and often walks on two legs. But, Shipton and his men followed the tracks (足迹) for one mile (1.61 km). Would a bear have walked that far on two legs when it could have run on four? Others say that Tensing saw a mountain ape. But, mountain apes have five toes (脚趾), and these footprints had only four. Some scientists think that the footprints were made by a smaller animal. Then, the sun melted (使融化) them so that they looked bigger. Shipton said that the footprints were fresh. Could the sun have had time to melt them? Or, did the explorers really find the footprints of a strange, wild mountain man? 53.

There are two different viewpoints about it. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 例文 Is a Training Class or Family Teacher Necessary? More and more middle school students are going to all kinds of training classes or having family teachers at the weekend There are two different viewpoints about it. Some people believe these extra lessons are necessary. They argue that studying with professional teachers is more effective than self-learning. Additionally, training classes help students strengthen their understanding of school subjects and gain extra knowledge. However, others disagree. They believe it may cause dependence. Moreover, teenagers need enough rest to stay healthy and focused. Another concern is that many training centers aim to make money instead of focusing on education quality. In my opinion, choosing high-quality courses wisely is the key. While extra classes can be beneficial, they should not take up all free time. Students must balance study and relaxation. 【解析】 【详解】[总体分析] ① 题材：本文是一篇议论文，为材料作文； ② 时态：时态主要为“一般现在时”； ③ 提示：写作时注意覆盖表中观点内容，并阐述自己的观点，可适当增添逻辑词，使行文更连贯。 [写作步骤] 第一步，接续开头句，引出两种观点； 第二步，根据表格所给内容分别介绍两种观点； 第三步，阐述自己的观点，结束文章。 [亮点词汇] ① however但是 ② make money赚钱 ③ in one’s opinion在某人看来 [高分句型] ① They argue that studying with professional teachers is more effective than self-learning.（宾语从句） ② Another concern is that many training centers aim to make money instead of focusing on education quality. （表语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024—2025学年度第一学期期末质量检测 八年级英语试题 注意事项： 1. 本试卷共10页，考试时间90分钟。 2. 请将答案涂或填写在答题纸指定位置上。 希望你能愉快地度过这90分钟，祝你成功！ 一、选择填空（从每小题A、B、C中选出一个能填入句中空白处的最佳答案。请将答案标号涂卡。） 1. —I knocked at your door last night, but you ________ at home. —Oh, I ________ at the supermarket.

At that time, jazz music was just becoming popular, and the young Armstrong loved the sound of New Orleans jazz. He started playing the cornet (短号), a brass instrument (铜管乐器) similar to a trumpet (小号). As a teenager, Armstrong spent many hours listening to local musicians play jazz. He started playing in bands himself and became famous locally. In 1922, Armstrong moved to Chicago and got a job playing the trumpet in Oliver’s Creole Jazz Band. Before long, Armstrong was considered one of the greatest trumpet players of all time. He played with many bands, moving from Chicago to New York and back to Chicago. In 1925, he made his first recordings as the leader of his own group, Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five. In the 1930s, Armstrong toured the United States and Europe. He began acting in movies, too. He stopped playing the New Orleans jazz of his youth and instead played and sang popular songs with well-known big bands. His swing-style trumpet influenced (影响) many later jazz horn players. His throaty yet smooth and rhythmic singing style was also influential. He developed a technique (技能) of singing called scat (拟声唱法). It’s said that he invented scat singing when he dropped his sheet music and could not remember the song’s words. Armstrong died in 1971.

B Oona and Finn McCool Long ago, on an island (岛) near Ireland, a giant (巨人) named Finn McCool lived with his clever wife Oona. Oona and Finn had a good life except for one problem. An unfriendly giant named Cuhullin lived across the river. Finn had never met this giant, but he feared Cuhullin nonetheless (尽管如此). One day, Cuhullin challenged Finn to a contest (竞赛) of strength (力量). Finn was a strong giant, but he knew that Cuhullin was stronger still, and Finn was worried. Oona, wanting to help her husband, thought of a plan. On the day that Cuhullin was to arrive, Oona dressed Finn up like a baby and put him into a giant crib (巨大的婴儿床). She also decorated (装点；装饰) an iron frying pan (铁煎锅) so that it looked like a frosted cake. Finn shook (发抖) with fear as he waited for his enemy (敌人). When the giant Cuhullin arrived, Oona told him that Finn was not at home. Then she introduced him to the“baby” Finn. Cuhullin was understandably surprised at the size of the child and wondered how large Finn must be to have a baby that size. Oona asked Cuhullin to get her some water. When he started off to the river with a pail (桶), Oona explained, “Oh, Finn usually carries the house to the water.” Cuhullin did his best not to look surprised, but he was not very happy at the idea that Finn was so strong. Finally, Oona provided Cuhullin with the cake. She gave him the frosted frying pan, and when he took a bite (一口), he nearly broke a tooth. “This is as hard as a rock,” said Cuhullin. “Oh, that’s the way Finn likes it. Look, even the baby likes it that way,” she said, pointing to Finn in the crib. She had given Finn a real cake, and he ate it happily. Cuhullin, suddenly no longer wanting to meet Finn, started making excuses about needing to go home. 15. What will Cuhullin probably do next? A. He will relax and wait for Finn. B. He will leave so that he does not meet Finn. C. He will ask for more cake. 16. How will Oona probably feel if Cuhullin leaves? A. She will be afraid. B. She will think that she is strong. C. She will want to cheat Finn next. 17. What will Finn probably do if Cuhullin leaves? A. He’ll keep pretending (假装) to be a baby. B. He’ll run after Cuhullin. C. He’ll ask for more cake. 18. Which of these is possible to happen in the future? A. Cuhullin will challenge Oona to a contest of strength. B. Cuhullin will avoid (避免) Finn and Oona. C. Oona and Finn will eat more frosted pans. 19. What will Cuhullin think of Finn? A. He will think Finn is stronger than him. B. He will think Finn is clever. C. He will help Finn get water next time.
