新人教版八上期末模拟检测题（含答案和解析） 一、完形填空 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 The sun was setting behind the mountains when Alex realized he was lost. He had been so 1______ exploring the new paths in the forest near his grandparents’ village that he didn’t notice how far he had gone. Now, the familiar landmarks were nowhere to be seen, and a cool evening breeze began to blow. At first, panic (恐慌) rushed through him. His heart beat wildly, and his first thought was to run, to find his way back by speed. But then he remembered his grandfather’s words: “When you feel lost, son, first sit down. Let your mind be 2______ than your feet.” Taking a deep breath, Alex found a large rock and sat on it. He forced himself to 3______ the rising fear. He looked around carefully. Instead of searching for what was missing, he started to notice what was there. He saw a line of ants marching toward a big tree. “Ants live at the base of trees,” Grandpa had said during a walk. He noticed moss (苔藓) growing 4______ on one side of the tree trunks. Another lesson from Grandpa: “Moss likes the damp, shady north side.” Piece by piece, the forest stopped being a frightening maze (迷宫) and started to become a book full of 5______. Following the clues, Alex began to walk slowly. He wasn’t running anymore; he was reading the land. After about twenty minutes, he heard the distant, faint sound of a stream. His heart leaped with 6______—the stream passed behind his grandparents’ house! When he finally stepped out of the trees and saw the warm lights of the house, he felt a different kind of tiredness, mixed with pride. He hadn’t just found his way home; he had found a new 7______ in himself. At dinner, he told his family about his adventure. Grandpa listened quietly, a knowing smile on his face. “You see,” Grandpa said finally, “the forest didn’t change. What changed was your 8______ of seeing it. Sometimes, being lost is the only way to find what you really need to 9______.” That night, Alex wrote in his journal: “Getting lost taught me more than staying safe ever could.

(B) Have you ever bitten into a strawberry and wondered why it tastes so sweet and looks so red? The answer might lie in a tiny, hidden world—the world of soil microbes (土壤微生物). Scientists are discovering that these microscopic creatures, like bacteria and fungi (真菌), are like master chefs for plants. Plants, as we know, absorb water and nutrients through their roots. But they can’t always get everything they need directly from the soil. This is where soil microbes come in. They form partnerships with plants. For example, some fungi create a network around plant roots, acting like an extension of the root system. They help the plant reach water and nutrients from farther away. In return, the plant shares the food it makes through photosynthesis (光合作用) with the fungi. It’s a win-win deal! Different microbes do different jobs. Some break down dead leaves and insects, turning them into rich food for plants. Others protect plants from harmful diseases. Recent studies even show that the types and amounts of microbes in the soil can influence a plant’s health, its taste, and its nutritional value. A strawberry grown in rich, microbe-active soil might indeed be sweeter and more nutritious than one grown in poor soil. This discovery is changing farming. Instead of using too much chemical fertilizer (化肥), some farmers are now trying to improve the health of the soil’s microbiome. They add natural materials to encourage helpful microbes. This method, often called “regenerative agriculture,” aims to work with nature, not against it. It helps grow better food and keeps the soil healthy for future generations. The next time you enjoy a piece of fruit, remember the unseen army of tiny chefs working underground, making your food delicious and healthy! （ ）16、What is the main role of soil microbes according to the passage? A. To make plants look more beautiful. B. To help plants get water and nutrients. C. To protect plants from being eaten by insects. D. To change the color of fruits and vegetables. （ ）17、How do plants “pay” the fungi for their help? A. By providing them with water from their roots. B. By allowing them to live on their leaves. C. By sharing the food they make from sunlight. D. By protecting them from other bacteria. （ ）18、What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. The fact that microbes break down dead leaves. B. The partnership between fungi and plant roots. C. The method of using chemical fertilizer in farming. D. The discovery that microbes affect plant health and taste. （ ）19、What is “regenerative agriculture”? A. A farming method that improves soil microbiome health. B. A way of farming that uses more machines. C. A science of studying microbes in laboratories. D. A technology to create new kinds of microbes. （ ）20、What is the writer’s attitude towards the future of farming with microbes? A. Doubtful and worried. B. Hopeful and supportive. C. Uninterested and bored. D. Uncertain and confused. (C) The bell rang for the last class on Friday afternoon. As students rushed out, talking about weekend plans, Mr. Thompson, the history teacher, noticed Leo still sitting at his desk, looking troubled. “Leo, everything okay?” Mr. Thompson asked, walking over. Leo sighed, “It’s the history project, Mr. Thompson. The one about ‘A Local Hero’. Everyone is doing famous people. Sam’s doing an Olympic athlete, and Mia’s doing that scientist on TV. I can’t find anyone... interesting enough.” He felt his own idea was too small. Mr. Thompson pulled up a chair. “A hero doesn’t need to be on TV, Leo. Tell me, who do you admire in your life?” Leo thought for a moment. “Well... my neighbor, Mrs. Garcia. She runs that little community kitchen, providing free meals for people who need them. She’s been doing it for like, 20 years.” Mr. Thompson’s eyes lit up. “Now, that sounds like a real hero to me. Why not tell her story?” “But it’s just a small kitchen,” Leo said, unsure. “The size of the action isn’t what matters,” Mr. Thompson said gently. “It’s the size of the heart behind it. History isn’t only made by famous names. It’s also made by everyday people whose kindness holds our communities together.” Inspired, Leo spent his weekend interviewing Mrs. Garcia. He learned about her childhood, what moved her to start the kitchen, and the countless stories of people she had helped. He took photos of her cooking and the smiling faces around the simple dining tables. On presentation day, Leo didn’t use flashy videos. He just spoke sincerely, sharing Mrs. Garcia’s story and showing his photos. When he finished, the classroom was quiet for a second, then filled with warm applause. Mia said, “I walk by that kitchen every day. I never really thought about it. Now I want to volunteer.” After class, Mr. Thompson said to Leo, “You see, you found a true hero. And more importantly, you helped your classmates see the heroes that have been around them all along.” Leo realized that his project hadn’t just been about finding a hero; it had been about learning to see the world with more caring eyes. （ ）21、Why was Leo worried about his history project? A. He had no idea who to choose as his subject. B. He thought his chosen person was not famous enough. C. He didn’t know how to use video editing software. D. He found the project topic too boring. （ ）22、What did Mr. Thompson think makes a real hero? A. Being known by everyone on TV. B. Having great wealth and power. C. The heart and kindness behind the actions. D. Doing something that changes the whole world. （ ）23、How did Leo finally complete his project? A. He interviewed his neighbor and told her story sincerely. B. He copied Sam’s project idea. C. He changed his topic to an Olympic athlete. D. He made a flashy video with Mr. Thompson’s help. （ ）24、How did Leo’s classmates react to his presentation? A. They thought it was too simple and boring. B. They laughed at his choice of a local hero. C. They were confused about who Mrs. Garcia was. D. They were moved and showed their appreciation. （ ）25、What is the main message of the story? A. School projects are always difficult and stressful. B. Teachers should provide students with project ideas. C. True heroes and history are often found in everyday kindness. D. Famous people are the only proper subjects for history projects.第三部分：三、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Public speaking was my biggest fear. Whenever the teacher announced we 26______ (have) to give a speech, my heart would start racing. Last semester, our English teacher, Mrs. Lee, made us do a 27______ (person) storytelling project. The idea of standing in front of the whole class filled me with dread. I spent days 28______ (prepare) my story about learning to ride a bike with my grandpa. I wrote and rewrote it, practicing in front of my mirror countless times. 29, on the day of my speech, my mind went blank as soon as I stood up. My palms were sweaty, and my voice 30______ (sound) shaky and strange. I felt like a complete failure. After class, Mrs. Lee asked to see me. I was sure she was going to criticize me. Instead, she smiled kindly and said, “You had a wonderful story. I could tell you worked very hard. The problem wasn’t your preparation; it was that you were too focused on 31______ (you) and your fear, not on sharing your story with us.” Her words surprised me. She suggested I try 32______ (focus) on just one friendly face in the audience next time. A few weeks later, we had another chance to speak. This time, I chose to tell a funny story about my cat. As I walked to the front, I felt the familiar panic rising. Then I remembered Mrs. Lee’s advice. I found my friend Jake in the third row and pretended I was just telling the story to him. To my 33______ (amaze), it worked! My nerves settled. I even remembered to make eye contact with a few other classmates. People laughed in the right places. When I finished, I felt a huge sense of 34______ (relieve) and even a little pride. I haven’t become a perfect speaker, but I’ve learned that progress, not perfection, is the goal. Mrs. Lee taught me that the key to communication is connection, not 35______ (be) flawless. This lesson, I believe, is far more valuable than any grade. 四、阅读表达 阅读下面短文，根据要求完成各小题。 Have you ever heard of “food miles”? It refers to the distance food travels from where it is grown to where it is eaten. A strawberry in a US supermarket in winter might have traveled thousands of miles from a warm country. While this system allows us to enjoy all kinds of foods all year round, it comes with a cost. Transporting food over long distances uses a lot of energy, mainly from burning fossil fuels, which contributes to air pollution and climate change. To keep food fresh during the long journey, it often requires more packaging, plastic, and sometimes chemical treatments. This creates more waste and can affect the nutritional value of the food. In response, the “locavore” movement is growing. Locavores try to eat food that is grown or produced locally, usually within 100 miles of their home. They shop at farmers’ markets or join community-supported agriculture programs. There are many benefits to eating local. Local food is often fresher and tastier because it is picked at its peak and doesn’t spend days in transit. It also supports local farmers and keeps money within the community. Most importantly, it greatly reduces the environmental cost of long-distance transportation. Of course, eating entirely local can be challenging, especially in colder seasons. A balanced approach might be the key. We can choose local options when they are available, and be more mindful about the origin of the food we buy. Checking labels and choosing seasonal produce are simple steps everyone can take. By making these conscious choices, we can enjoy our food while taking better care of our planet.

Calligraphy is the art of writing Chinese characters with a brush and ink. It’s not just about communication; it’s a form of beautiful expression. I love it because each stroke carries the writer’s emotion and personality. Watching a calligrapher create elegant characters is like seeing a quiet dance on paper. It has a history of thousands of years and is deeply connected to Chinese philosophy and culture. However, in the digital age, fewer people practice this art. I believe it’s our responsibility to keep this treasure alive. We can start by learning about it, appreciating classic works, or even trying to write a few characters ourselves. Let’s work together to pass on the beauty of calligraphy to the future! 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
