People traveled from far and wide to buy his furniture (家具). One day, a young apprentice (学徒) came to learn from him. The young man loved working with wood but was always hurrying to finish things. After a few days of learning from the carpenter, the young man thought, “I can make furniture faster.” The old carpenter noticed this and said, “I can teach you to make furniture quickly, but first, you need to do a simple job.” He then handed the apprentice a rough board and said, “Make this board smooth.” The man thought it was easy. He sanded (用砂纸打磨) the board a few times and soon gave it back soon. The old carpenter felt the board and said, “It is not smooth enough. Try again.” A little impatient, the young man sanded harder. But the old carpenter shook his head once again. Feeling sad, the man started to think more. He wasn’t in a hurry anymore and sanded every part of the board carefully. Finally, the board was as smooth as a mirror. This time, the old carpenter smiled and said, “You have learned an important lesson. Success needs not only skill but also patience. The simpler the job is, the more patience we need. When you perfect every part, you can make a perfect piece.” The young man understood that carpentry was not only about making things but also about shaping the mind.

These comics had all the things I liked best — good stories, clever drawings and comedies. I started drawing my own comics and now I have a blog where I put my works. Drawing comics takes a lot of time, and I’m still in school. There’s a lot of schoolwork and it keeps me busy. Sometimes I draw during my breaks, but mainly I do it at home, where I can put on my headphones and focus. That’s when I get the most done. Fans sometimes contact (联系) me on my blog and it’s good to write back to them. Last year, I went to a national youth comic festival. I found most other teenagers used computers to draw. Although I know how to do that and it can help me save time, I honestly would rather draw by hand. That’s how I began to draw. Because of the success of my blog, there are articles about me in newspapers and magazines. I usually draw by myself, so I’m not used to all those! I was surprised when they called me the coolest teenager. Me? My friend would laugh at that! However, one amazing thing about it is that some of my comic-writing heroes have written to congratulate me on my success. I couldn’t feel better! The next thing I need to do is to develop my art skills. I will go for a comic course in the school holidays. 1. Who was the comic books for? A. The writer’s parents. B. The writer’s elder brother. C. The writer himself. D. The writer’s comic-writing heroes. 2. Why does the writer finish most works at home? A. Because he can pay attention to drawing. B. Because he can get help from his parents. C. Because he can contact his Fans on the blog. D. Because he doesn’t want his classmates to know his works. 3. What does the underlined word “congratulate” mean? A. Laughing at someone. B. Giving someone a surprise. C. Being patient with someone. D. Giving someone good wishes. 4. What’s the main idea of this article? A. How to become a successful comic writer through a blog. B. The history of comic books and how they influence teenagers. C. A teenager’s experience of drawing comics and his growth in it. D. The differences between hand-drawn comics and computer-drawn comics. D Uncle Henry is sitting outside the door of his small house. He’s worried. He’s looking at the sky. It’s full of black clouds. There’s a very strong wind, too. It’s making a loud noise. Suddenly Uncle Henry stands up. “A cyclone (飓风) is coming,” he shouts. “Dorothy! Em! Go into the cellar (地下室). Quick!” Aunt Em runs out of the house. She sees the black cone (锥体) in the sky. She’s afraid because the cone is moving fast towards their house. “Dorothy!” Aunt Em shouts. “Come here! We must go into cellar!” She opens the little door in the floor and starts to climb down into the hole. Dorothy picks up Toto and runs into the house. Poor Toto! He’s afraid too. He jumps out of Dorothy’s arms and runs under the bed. Dorothy runs after him and pulls him out. “Dorothy!” Uncle Henry calls. “Quick! Come into the cellar! The cyclone is coming!” Dorothy starts to run to the little door in the floor but the cyclone hits the house before she can get there. Everything in the room is shaking. The cups and the plates fall on the floor. Dorothy falls on the floor too. BUMP! She can’t stand up again. Then the wind picks up the house and carries it away. The little house spins (旋转) fast round and round in the cone of the cyclone. Up and up it goes. It is high in the sky. Dorothy and Toto are very frightened. Toto starts barking. “Everything’s fine, Toto,” Dorothy says to him. “I’m here.” The wind carries the house for miles. Now Dorothy can stand up because the house isn’t spinning any more. She goes and sits on her bed. She holds Toto in her arms and waits. Hours pass. It gets dark outside. The wind continues to blow. Toto falls asleep. Dorothy isn’t afraid any more. She closes her eyes and falls asleep too. —Taken from The wonderful Wizard of Oz 1. From the story, we know that Toto is Dorothy’s ____ . A. pet B. aunt C. uncle D. brother 2.

But they answered: “Frighten? For a hat?” In fact, my drawing was not a hat. It was a picture of a big snake digesting (消化) an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing: I drew the elephant inside of the big snake, so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. They always need to have things explained. My Drawing Number Two looked like the picture. The grown-ups’ response (回答), this time, was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of the big snake, whether from the inside or the outside, and devote myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic and so on. That is why, at the age of six, I gave up what might have been a magnificent career (职业) as a painter. I had been depressed (使沮丧) by the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two. Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them. So then I chose another job, and leaned to fly airplanes. I have flown a little over all parts of the world; and it is true that geography has been very useful to me. At a glance I can distinguish (辨别) China from Arizona. If one gets lost in the night, such knowledge is valuable. In the course of this life I have had lots to do with lots of serious people. I have spent a lot of time with grown-ups. I have seen them intimately, close at hand. And that hasn’t much improved my opinion of them. 1. How many pictures did the writer draw in paragraph 1? ___________________________________________________________ 2. When did the writer give up his dream as a painter? ___________________________________________________________ 3. What might the writer want grown-ups to learn? ___________________________________________________________ 第 1 页 共 12 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年译林英语八年级上学期期中模拟练习（四） 一、单项选择 1. —What’s wrong with your feet, Linda? —The shoes are ____ and they make my feet hurt.

People traveled from far and wide to buy his furniture (家具). One day, a young apprentice (学徒) came to learn from him. The young man loved working with wood but was always hurrying to finish things. After a few days of learning from the carpenter, the young man thought, “I can make furniture faster.” The old carpenter noticed this and said, “I can teach you to make furniture quickly, but first, you need to do a simple job.” He then handed the apprentice a rough board and said, “Make this board smooth.” The man thought it was easy. He sanded (用砂纸打磨) the board a few times and soon gave it back soon. The old carpenter felt the board and said, “It is not smooth enough. Try again.” A little impatient, the young man sanded harder. But the old carpenter shook his head once again. Feeling sad, the man started to think more. He wasn’t in a hurry anymore and sanded every part of the board carefully. Finally, the board was as smooth as a mirror. This time, the old carpenter smiled and said, “You have learned an important lesson. Success needs not only skill but also patience. The simpler the job is, the more patience we need. When you perfect every part, you can make a perfect piece.” The young man understood that carpentry was not only about making things but also about shaping the mind.

He wasn’t interested, but I thought they were great fun. These comics had all the things I liked best — good stories, clever drawings and comedies. I started drawing my own comics and now I have a blog where I put my works. Drawing comics takes a lot of time, and I’m still in school. There’s a lot of schoolwork and it keeps me busy. Sometimes I draw during my breaks, but mainly I do it at home, where I can put on my headphones and focus. That’s when I get the most done. Fans sometimes contact (联系) me on my blog and it’s good to write back to them. Last year, I went to a national youth comic festival. I found most other teenagers used computers to draw. Although I know how to do that and it can help me save time, I honestly would rather draw by hand. That’s how I began to draw. Because of the success of my blog, there are articles about me in newspapers and magazines. I usually draw by myself, so I’m not used to all those! I was surprised when they called me the coolest teenager. Me? My friend would laugh at that! However, one amazing thing about it is that some of my comic-writing heroes have written to congratulate me on my success. I couldn’t feel better! The next thing I need to do is to develop my art skills. I will go for a comic course in the school holidays. 1. Who was the comic books for? A. The writer’s parents. B. The writer’s elder brother. C. The writer himself. D. The writer’s comic-writing heroes. 2. Why does the writer finish most works at home? A. Because he can pay attention to drawing. B. Because he can get help from his parents. C. Because he can contact his Fans on the blog. D. Because he doesn’t want his classmates to know his works. 3. What does the underlined word “congratulate” mean? A. Laughing at someone. B. Giving someone a surprise. C. Being patient with someone. D. Giving someone good wishes. 4. What’s the main idea of this article? A. How to become a successful comic writer through a blog. B. The history of comic books and how they influence teenagers. C. A teenager’s experience of drawing comics and his growth in it. D. The differences between hand-drawn comics and computer-drawn comics. 【答案】BADC 【解析】 1. 题干意思：这些漫画书是给谁的？A. 作者的父母；B. 作者的哥哥；C. 作者本人；D. 作者的漫画英雄。根据第1段“Several years ago, my parents bought some comic (漫画) books to help my elder brother relax.（几年前，我父母买了一些漫画书来帮助我哥哥放松。）”可知，答案选B。 2. 题干意思：为什么作者大部分作品都是在家里完成的？A. 因为他能专心画画；B. 因为他可以从父母那里得到帮助；C. 因为他可以在博客上联系他的粉丝；D. 因为他不想让同学知道他的作品。根据第2段“Sometimes I draw during my breaks, but mainly I do it at home, where I can put on my headphones and focus.

I will go for a comic course in the school holidays.（我接下来要做的就是提高我的艺术技能。我将在学校假期去上漫画课。）”可知，答案选C。 D Uncle Henry is sitting outside the door of his small house. He’s worried. He’s looking at the sky. It’s full of black clouds. There’s a very strong wind, too. It’s making a loud noise. Suddenly Uncle Henry stands up. “A cyclone (飓风) is coming,” he shouts. “Dorothy! Em! Go into the cellar (地下室). Quick!” Aunt Em runs out of the house. She sees the black cone (锥体) in the sky. She’s afraid because the cone is moving fast towards their house. “Dorothy!” Aunt Em shouts. “Come here! We must go into cellar!” She opens the little door in the floor and starts to climb down into the hole. Dorothy picks up Toto and runs into the house. Poor Toto! He’s afraid too. He jumps out of Dorothy’s arms and runs under the bed. Dorothy runs after him and pulls him out. “Dorothy!” Uncle Henry calls. “Quick! Come into the cellar! The cyclone is coming!” Dorothy starts to run to the little door in the floor but the cyclone hits the house before she can get there. Everything in the room is shaking. The cups and the plates fall on the floor. Dorothy falls on the floor too. BUMP! She can’t stand up again. Then the wind picks up the house and carries it away. The little house spins (旋转) fast round and round in the cone of the cyclone. Up and up it goes. It is high in the sky. Dorothy and Toto are very frightened. Toto starts barking. “Everything’s fine, Toto,” Dorothy says to him. “I’m here.” The wind carries the house for miles. Now Dorothy can stand up because the house isn’t spinning any more. She goes and sits on her bed. She holds Toto in her arms and waits. Hours pass. It gets dark outside. The wind continues to blow. Toto falls asleep. Dorothy isn’t afraid any more. She closes her eyes and falls asleep too. —Taken from The wonderful Wizard of Oz 1. From the story, we know that Toto is Dorothy’s ____ . A. pet B. aunt C. uncle D. brother 2. The underlined word “frightened” in Paragraph 4 means ____ . A. relaxed B. afraid C. excited D. serious 3. According to the story, we can know that the cyclone ____ . A. lasts for a short time B. has very strong power C. moves at a slow speed D. is noticed by Aunt Em first 【答案】ABB 【解析】 1. 推理判断题。根据第5段“Toto starts barking.（托托开始吠叫。）”可判断它是一条狗，即一个宠物。故选A。 2. 词义猜测题。根据第5段“The little house spins (旋转) fast round and round in the cone of the cyclone. Up and up it goes. It is high in the sky. Dorothy and Toto are very frightened. Toto starts barking. “Everything’s fine, Toto,” Dorothy says to him. “I’m here.”（小房子在旋风的锥体中快速地旋转。它一直往上走。它在天空中很高。多萝西和托托非常害怕。托托开始吠叫。‘一切都很好，托托，’多萝西对他说。‘我在这里。’）”可知由于飓风小房子在摇晃，而Dorothy在安慰小狗一切都会好的，因此判断狗非常害怕，因此判断划线单词的含义为害怕。故选B。 3. 推理判断题。根据第4段“Dorothy starts to run to the little door in the floor but the cyclone hits the house before she can get there. Everything in the room is shaking. The cups and the plates fall on the floor. Dorothy falls on the floor too.（多萝西开始跑向地板上的小门，但飓风在她到达那里之前袭击了房子。房间里的一切都在颤抖。杯子和盘子掉在地板上。多萝西也跌倒在地板上。）”可知飓风袭击了房子，并且房间在摇晃，杯子和盘子都掉到地板上了，因此推断飓风的威力很大。故选B。 四、根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 Chinese lacquer fans (漆扇) have a very long history.

But they answered: “Frighten? For a hat?” In fact, my drawing was not a hat. It was a picture of a big snake digesting (消化) an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing: I drew the elephant inside of the big snake, so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. They always need to have things explained. My Drawing Number Two looked like the picture. The grown-ups’ response (回答), this time, was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of the big snake, whether from the inside or the outside, and devote myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic and so on. That is why, at the age of six, I gave up what might have been a magnificent career (职业) as a painter. I had been depressed (使沮丧) by the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two. Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them. So then I chose another job, and leaned to fly airplanes. I have flown a little over all parts of the world; and it is true that geography has been very useful to me. At a glance I can distinguish (辨别) China from Arizona. If one gets lost in the night, such knowledge is valuable. In the course of this life I have had lots to do with lots of serious people. I have spent a lot of time with grown-ups. I have seen them intimately, close at hand. And that hasn’t much improved my opinion of them. 1. How many pictures did the writer draw in paragraph 1? ___________________________________________________________ 2. When did the writer give up his dream as a painter? ___________________________________________________________ 3. What might the writer want grown-ups to learn? ___________________________________________________________ 【答案】1. Two. 2. At the age of six. 3. Grown-ups should try to understand things by themselves instead of always asking children to explain. 第 1 页 共 12 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
