2025-2026 学年度第一学期第二次月清质量监测 八年级英语试题 （时间：90分钟 满分：90 分） 注意事项： 1.答卷前务必将试题及答题卡上面的项目填涂清楚。所有答案必须涂、写在答题卡相应位置，答在本试卷上一律无效。 一、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。 A Many kids think they are not the most beautiful or the smartest. Sometimes kids don’t know how special they are. When they see outstanding athletes (杰出运动员) or excellent writers, they often think: Am I as capable as they are? Growing up means understanding what you can do and what you can offer to the world. When you are young, you don’t see that. But as you get older, you may know that by being yourself, you do offer something to other people. Maybe you aren’t the best, but that doesn’t make you “not special”. Think about your friends. Write down some things that you like about them. Think about why you are friends. You are going to know that in the end, though they aren’t the smartest or the prettiest or the most talented, they are great in their ways. And they feel just the same as you! In fact, it is great to be the best at something, but it’s OK if you can’t. As a common (普通的) person, if you just live your life and try hard, you are still amazing. And you can make your goals come true. 1．The underlined word “capable” means “______” in Paragraph 1. A．慷慨的 B．富有的 C．幽默的 D．有能力的 2．Why does the writer mention (提到) friends in Paragraph 3? A．To tell people they can ask friends for help. B．To show everyone has their strengths. C．To introduce his/her friends. D．To share how to make smart friends. 3．What can we know from the passage? A．Common people are still great if they try hard. B．It is impossible to become outstanding athletes. C．Your friends are great only because they are the smartest. D．Most of the kids think they are as popular as their friends. B How do you feel when you have to make a speech in front of the class? How do you feel when you go to a birthday party? Do you get really shy? It’s said that about eighty percent of the middle school students feel afraid to be the center of attention (关注). Some kids are born shy. Some become shy later because of their life experiences (生活经历). It’s ok if you need some time to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people. In fact, everybody sometimes gets a little shy. Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy. But some are too shy. They won’t go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order. Some are afraid to meet new people, so they don’t like to go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person. If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing anything you want to do, being shy isn’t a very big problem. Shy people are even cleverer because they think more and talk less. They 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 get good chances lost. 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. 4．The underlined word “nervous” in Paragraph 2 means ______. A．bored B．worried C．relaxed D．easy 5．What kind of shyness can be bad? A．You find it very hard to enjoy yourself at a party day B．You feel a little nervous when you go to a new place C．You have a red face when you answer questions in class. D．You’re afraid to meet new people so you don’t go outside. 6．Why are some shy people cleverer? A．Because shy people think more and talk less. B．Because they think more for others. C．Because some great people in history were shy, too. D．Because they are good with people. 7．What is the best title for this passage? A．Are you shy before others? B．How to be popular with others? C．Find out what you’re like? D．Being shy, good or bad? C When we talk about communication (沟通), we often think of talking with others. But do you know that we also talk with ourselves from time to time? For example, your mum asks you what you would like for breakfast. Many foods come to your mind: sandwiches, bread, milk...You think that it would be great to have sandwiches. Until you tell your mum what you want to eat, you are talking with yourself. We call this kind of communication intrapersonal (内心的) communication. This can be talking to ourselves, reading, writing, thinking, understanding and remembering something. Intrapersonal communication plays a big part in our lives. Good intrapersonal communication allows you to understand yourself better. When you’re comfortable with who you are, and you know what you want, you can better get on with yourself. Also, intrapersonal communication helps you keep an eye on your thoughts and feelings. When you find that your mind is full of bad thoughts and sad feelings, you will try to cheer up and get rid of them. What’s more, intrapersonal communication helps you to talk with others. Understanding your thoughts and feelings better allows you to put yourself in others’ shoes when you talk to or listen to them. Then, you can better understand and get on with them. 1．How does the writer explain the idea of intrapersonal communication in Paragraph 1? A．He offers some facts. B．He gives an example. C．He shows numbers. D．He asks and answers a question. 2．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．The rules of intrapersonal communication. B．The problems of intrapersonal communication. C．The ways of intrapersonal communication. D．The good points of intrapersonal communication. 3．What’s the structure of the text? A．B． C． D． 4．What is the purpose of the text? A．To tell us what Intrapersonal communication is. B．To advise us to talk with others more often. C．To describe the importance of getting on with others. D．To show us how to talk with others. D Team spirit(精神)means that people work together and help each other as part of a team.When people have team spirit, they try their best. 12 Everyone has seen or felt team spirit. This can happen when they are part of a team, or see people cheering for a team or players. 13 One kind is when a group of people work together to reach a goal. Another kind is when people support a person or a team.A third kind is when a whole country cheers for its team. This shows people's love for their own country. Team spirit has good results. It helps people make friends and believe in each other even when they don't agree with each other. 14 Itcan bring fights or disagreements between team members. Some people don't fully understand what team spirit means. 15 But team spirit can be built anywhere. It can be between friends, schoolmates, or even two people sitting next to each other. It's about working together to reach the same goal, no matter where you are. A. He doesn't need team spirit at all. B. There are different kinds of team spirit. C. This can happen when they always cry. D. However, team spirit can also bring bad results. E. They work hard to make their team the best. G. They think it's only about being part of a group or team. 二、完形填空（共 10小题，每小题 1分，满分 10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A 、B 、C 、D 四个选项中，选出可以填 入空白处的最佳选项。 It was the day before Christmas.

If you've ever said that, you understand biometrics(生物特征识别法).Biometric technology is an important topic in our work and private lives. It includes the use of finger prints and knowing a person's voice. It is the science about what a person looks like and how a person does things. Like tree leaves, no two human beings are exactly the same. They've got different eyes and different hair. And everyone has a different way of walking or moving. This technology can tell you from others. At the moment if you travel through an airport, you need your ID card or passport. If you go to the bank to get some money, you need a card and a special number. But what should you do if you lose your passport or forget your number? Biometric technology can solve this problem. The technology is becoming more and more popular with old people because they can't remember their passwords. This technology is all around us in our life. We use it to unlock a smartphone, get into our homes,start our cars without keys or even pay for our shopping. Nothing is perfect. People are worried about the safety of their private information. However, the technology will become much better in the future,and it will become more and more important in our daily life. 51. What does biometric technology include? 52. What can the technology be used to do according to the text?(至少写出文中提到的两个用处) 53.Why is the technology becoming more and more popular with old people? 54.What are people worried about? 55.

Today I’d like to share my opinions about school rules. School rules are important because they help us create a safe and organized environment. For example, wearing uniforms makes us look neat and avoids comparisons about clothes. Arriving on time teaches us punctuality, which is useful in future work. Also, no bullying or cheating rules encourage respect and honesty among students. However, some rules might be too strict. For instance, not allowing students to bring smartphones at all can be inconvenient when we need to contact our parents after school. I suggest schools could let us keep phones in our bags and use them only after classes. In conclusion, most school rules are helpful, but it’s also good to listen to students’ ideas. By following reasonable rules and improving others together, we can make our school a better place. Thank you! 八年级英语月清二试题 第 1 页 共 8 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
