2024-2025学年第二学期八年级英语学情检测 2025.05 一、单项填空（每小题1分，共15分） 1. I think it's ________ useful advice, and I remember not to speak loudly in ________ public. A. a; the B. an; / C. the; the D. /; / 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：我认为这是很有用的建议，而且我记得在公共场合不要大声说话。 考查冠词的用法。第一处advice是不可数名词，且并无特指含义，使用零冠词；第二处构成in public短语，意为“在公共场合”。故选D。 2. Hearing the news, I was _________ excited _______ say a word A. very; too B. enough; too C. so; that D. too; to 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】试题分析：句意：听到那个消息，我太激动而说不出一句话。very非常; too太；enough足够的。so+形容词+that+句子“如此......，以至于......”根据此处接的是say a word动词短语，而不是句子，故排除C项。too+形容词+to do sth.“太......而不能......”。结合句意，太激动而说不出一句话。故选D。 考点：考查副词的用法。 3. After working _____ with each other for months, they felt so _____ to each other that they began to share lunch together. A. closely, closely B. closely, close C. close, close D. close, closely 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：在密切合作几个月后，他们感到彼此很亲密，以至于他们开始一起分享午餐。 考查形容词和副词用法。closely紧密地，副词；close亲密的，形容词。根据“After working ... with each other”可知第一空用副词修饰动词；再由“felt”可知第二空用形容词作表语。故选B。 4. They ________ support ________ the children whose parents work far from their homes. A. provided; with B. provided; of C. provided; as D. provided; for 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：他们为那些父母在外地工作的孩子提供了支持。 用provide表示“为某人提供某物”的句型主要有两种： provide sb with sth和provide sth for sb。本句应用provide sth for sb。 5. Linda was unhappy because Liz ________ when she was speaking. A. cut in B. pushed in C. bumped into D. dropped in 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：琳达不高兴，因为当她说话时莉兹插嘴了。 cut in插嘴；pushed in插队；bumped into撞到；dropped in突然拜访。根据“Linda was unhappy”可知句子为过去时，结合“when she was speaking”可知琳达说话时被打断导致不高兴，此处需填表示“打断”之意的过去式短语。应填cut in。 6. We’re short of many things at the moment, but ________ we need water and food. A. in all B. at all C. after all D. above all 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：目前我们缺少很多东西，但最重要的是我们需要水和食物。 in all总计；at all全然，根本；after all毕竟；above all最重要的是。根据“We’re short of many things at the moment, but…we need water and food”可知，句子通过but转折，强调水和食物是众多需求中最为关键的。above all用于强调重要性或优先级，符合语境。 7. The bed is too small for the tall man ________ . A. to lie B. lying C. to lie on D. lying on 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：这张床太小了，那个高个子男人躺在上面都躺不下。 固定句型“too+形容词+for sb.+to do sth.”表示“太……以至于某人不能……”，空处应用动词不定式，lie是不及物动词，意为“躺”，本句中The bed是动作发生的地点，介词on不能省略。选项C符合题意。 8. At first, I thought he was just shy, but I’ve come to the ________ that he is simply unfriendly. A. conversation B. instruction C. discussion D. conclusion 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：起初，我以为他只是害羞，但我得出的结论是他根本不友好。 conversation对话；instruction指示；discussion讨论；conclusion结论。根据题干“come to the ________ that”可知，come to the conclusion是固定短语，意为“得出结论”，应填conclusion。 9.

A. confidence; confidence B. confident; confident C. confident; confidence D. confidence; confident 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：他有足够的自信发表演讲。我希望当他发言时你更有信心。 confident自信的（形容词）；confidence信心（名词）。第一空位于be动词is之后，需用形容词confident作表语；第二空位于动词have之后，需用名词confidence作宾语。 10. Many students didn’t realize the importance of studying ________ they left school. A. when B. after C. as D. until 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：许多学生直到离开学校才意识到学习的重要性。 when当……时候；after在……之后；as当……时，因为；until到……为止。本句是“not…until…”句型，表示“直到……才……”，until引导时间状语从句。 11. — What are these young girls doing? — They are training ________ volunteers ________ the Spring Sports Meeting. A. to be; to B. to be; for C. for; for D. as; to 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——这些年轻女孩在做什么？——她们正在受训成为春季运动会的志愿者。 to be成为，动词不定式； to到；for为了；as作为。“train to be + 身份”表示“训练成为……”；第二空表示为了春季运动会，应用介词for。 12. Volunteers make the meeting ________ by ________. A. a success; hard-working B. success; working hard C. successful; working hard D. success; hard-working 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：志愿者们通过努力工作使会议取得了成功。 考查形容词和介词的用法。success成功，名词；successful成功的，形容词；hard-working勤奋的，形容词；working hard努力工作，动名词短语。根据“make the meeting…”可知，此处使用形容词作宾语补足语，make sth+adj“使……怎么样”，所以第一空使用successful；by是介词，后接动名词作宾语，所以第二空使用working hard。故选C。 13. —Did you feel ________ was wrong of Jack to hide the comic books? —Yes. It is important ________ a boy to learn to share. A. that; of B. that; for C. it; of D. it; for 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】—— 你觉得Jack把漫画书藏起来是错误的吗？—— 是的。对一个男孩来说学会分享是很重要的。 考查it的用法和介词。 根据“It is adj. to do sth.”可知， 第一空it符合句意；根据“important”可知，修饰的是“learn to share”这件事，因此用介词for“对……来说”。故选D。 14. —I’ll try harder next time. —You have said it one hundred times. But ________. A. the early bird catches the worm B. a friend in need is a friend indeed C. you can’t burn the candle at both ends D. actions speak louder than words 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我下次会更加努力的。——这句话你已经说过一百遍了。但是行动胜于雄辩。 the early bird catches the worm早起的鸟儿有虫吃；a friend in need is a friend indeed患难见真情；you can’t burn the candle at both ends不可过度劳累；actions speak louder than words行动胜于雄辩。根据“You have said it one hundred times.”可知，此处说话人强调实际行动比口头承诺更重要。应填actions speak louder than words。 15. —So you missed the talk? — ________. I got there 10 minutes before it finished. A. Not at all. B. Not any more. C. Not exactly. D. Not really. 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——所以你错过了那个讲座？——不完全如此。我在结束前10分钟到了那里。 Not at all表示完全否定；Not any more表示不再；Not exactly表示不完全否定；Not really表示并非如此。本题考查情境交际用语，根据答语“I got there 10 minutes before it finished”可知，说话人只是错过了一部分，所以是对前文观点的不完全否定。结合语境应填Not exactly。 二、完形填空（每小题1分，共15分） It was a fine afternoon.

The bus will leave every 30 minutes starting from 12 p.m.”可知，从下午12点开始，每30分钟有一趟公交车，所以12:30 p.m.可以乘坐公交车，B选项正确。 【35题详解】 文章是关于当地慈善步行活动的信息，最有可能来自当地报纸，C选项正确。 B On May 2, the Writers Guild of America called on its 11,500 members to begin a strike (罢工) in Hollywood, California, and New York City in the US. It is the first writers’ strike in more than 15 years, causing many new projects to stop. ① One big issue behind the WGA strike is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) programs. The WGA demanded that AI not be allowed to write or rewrite literary (文学的) material or be used as source material. Creative AI programs like ChatGPT can now create human-like literary works. Writers are worried that media companies might someday use AI instead of people to make scripts for movies and TV shows. This might bring plagiarism (抄袭) problems as AI usually creates scripts based on a writer’s work. ② ③ At the same time, using AI to write scripts has a big impact on writers’ pay. As Warren Leight, an executive producer, said, studios might let AI create a first draft, then hire people to do a second draft, which pays less. This makes writers want to “nip that in the bud” AI is already being used in the entertainment industry in other ways, such as making actors appear younger and removing dirty words, said Fortune magazine. ④ As James Perry, a TV actor and vice-chair of the WGA’s Disabled Writers Committee told Reuters, “This is a crisis (危机) for writers.” 36. What is the main reason for the WGA members strike? A. Many writers cannot find jobs. B. The writers want a raise. C. Writers don’t want AI to be used to create and rewrite scripts. D. Many new projects have recently been stopped. 37. What do the plagiarism problems in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Writers creating scripts based on AI drafts. B. Writers copying other writers’ works. C. AI producing no creative works. D. AI writing scripts based on a writer’s works. 38. What does the underlined phrase mean? A. Writers are happy to see that. B. Writers want to stop that from happening. C. Writers don’t care about that. D. Writers think it’s possible. 39. In which place can this sentence “Although AI is not set to replace human writers anytime soon, the possibility is still there.” be put? A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 40. What might be James Perry’s idea? A. AI brings a sense of crisis to writers. B. AI is affecting the industry in a positive way. C. AI will replace writers soon. D. AI doing most jobs is a historical trend. 【答案】36. C 37. D 38. B 39. B 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了要求限制人工智能使用的罢工。 【36题详解】 根据第二段“One big issue behind the WGA strike is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) programs. The WGA demanded that AI not be allowed to write or rewrite literary (文学的) material or be used as source material.”可知，此次WGA罢工的核心矛盾是人工智能的使用，WGA要求禁止AI创作或改写文学内容。 【37题详解】 根据第三段“This might bring plagiarism (抄袭) problems as AI usually creates scripts based on a writer’s work.”可知，AI生成内容本质上是基于已有作家的作品创作，因此会带来抄袭问题。 【38题详解】 根据第四段“As Warren Leight, an executive producer, said, studios might let AI create a first draft, then hire people to do a second draft, which pays less. This makes writers want to ‘nip that in the bud’”可知，工作室让AI写初稿，只雇佣作家修改第二稿，作家薪酬会降低，因此作家想要阻止这种情况发生。 【39题详解】 根据第三段“This might bring plagiarism (抄袭) problems as AI usually creates scripts based on a writer’s work.”可知，作家担心未来AI会取代人类写剧本、还会带来抄袭问题。“Although AI is not set to replace human writers anytime soon, the possibility is still there.”正好承接上文的担忧，逻辑连贯，所以应放在②处。 【40题详解】 根据最后一段James的话“This is a crisis (危机) for writers.”可知，他认为AI给作家带来了危机感。 C During the last few years of his life, my dad lived just up the road from me in a tiny house. He had been alone for over 20 years after I lost my mom. His own mother had recently passed away too. He was disabled and retired so he spent a lot of time alone. Several times a week, though, I would take a walk up to his house. We would sit in the living room, drink tea and talk. It wasn’t anything big. We talked about sports, cars, gardening, weather, and enjoyed a laugh over old memories. It wasn’t anything too deep. It was just a simple sharing, a connection between a father and a son. An hour spent just enjoying each other’s company. Those afternoons remain some of my happiest times spent with my dad. It allowed us to gently heal (治愈) any old wounds we had given each other when I was growing up. It allowed us to silently give each other time and love. It allowed us to grow closer together before he left this world. I know that when my own time in this world is done, I will get to spend another afternoon with my dad. We will sit, talk, catch up and quietly enjoy each other’s company. We will share all the love we didn’t get to share. And we will remember that afternoon forever. If there is one thing that I learned from those afternoons, it is this: It is never too late to spend time with those you love. It is never too late to tell them that you love them. It is never too late to heal a relationship and mend a hurting heart. Begin today! Spend an afternoon with those you love and those afternoons will become a lifetime. 41. What do we know about the author’s family from Paragraph 1? A. The author lived far from his dad. B. His dad couldn’t talk in voice freely. C. His grandma passed away not long ago. D. His grandma lived with his dad for 20 years. 42. When he was visiting his dad, he did a lot of things with him EXCEPT ________? A. drinking tea in the living room B. laughing happily during the talk C. talking about life and memories D. taking his dad to walk up to his house 43. What is the purpose of Paragraph 3? A. To imagine a beautiful future for his dad. B. To advise people to spend afternoons nicely. C. To show the author’s expectations for his children. D. To show that the writer values the time spent with his dad. 44. What does the author want to tell us? A. There is no need to heal a relationship. B. Spend more time with the ones we love. C. It is never too late to learn to be a parent. D. Don’t wait for others to mend your hurting heart. 【答案】41. C 42. D 43. D 44. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者在父亲生命最后几年里，每周几次去父亲的小屋陪伴他，共度简单而温暖的时光，并从中领悟到“与所爱之人共度时光永远不会太晚”。 【41题详解】 第一段指出：“His own mother had recently passed away too.”，说明作者的祖母不久前去世了。 【42题详解】 第二段描述了作者与父亲一起“sit in the living room, drink tea and talk”、“enjoyed a laugh over old memories”、“talked about sports, cars, gardening, weather”，未提及“taking his dad to walk up to his house”。 【43题详解】 第三段作者想象自己离世后能与父亲再次共度午后（“I will get to spend another afternoon with my dad”），表达了对与父亲共度时光的珍视。 【44题详解】 最后一段作者说：“It is never too late to spend time with those you love.”，说明他想告诉我们要多花时间陪伴所爱之人。 四、词汇（每小题1分，共11分） A）根据括号内所给中文提示、单词释义或首字母提示写出单词 45. She was born with a s________ spoon in her mouth and has never done a day’s hard work in her life. 【答案】silver##ilver 【解析】 【详解】句意：她含着金汤匙出生，一生中从未干过一天辛苦活。根据后文“has never done a day’s hard work in her life.”可知，她出生富贵。结合首字母“s”可知，本空应填silver。在英语文化中，“银汤勺”表示富贵人家，与中文语境中的“金汤匙”意思相同。故填silver。 46. The ________ (引言) tells you what the book is mainly about. 【答案】introduction 【解析】 【详解】句意：这篇引言告诉你这本书的主要内容是什么。根据汉语提示可知，需填名词introduction，表示书籍开头介绍主要内容的章节。空格前有定冠词The，后接名词作主语；谓语tells为第三人称单数形式，主语需用单数名词。故填introduction。 47. Our teacher always spends a lot of time ________ (解释) things to us. 【答案】explaining 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们的老师总是花很多时间给我们解释事情。括号内的提示词为“解释”，对应的单词是explain；固定搭配spend time (in) doing sth.表示“花费时间做某事”，因此需用动名词形式explaining。 48. The zookeeper kept ________(警告) the visitors not to feed the animals. 【答案】warning 【解析】 【详解】句意：动物园管理员一直警告游客不要喂动物。“警告”对应的英文单词是“warn”，根据“keep doing sth.”的用法，这里应该用“warn”的动词 -ing 形式“warning”。 49. To make money is not the only ________ (目的) of our life. 【答案】purpose 【解析】 【详解】句意：赚钱不是人生的唯一目的。中文提示 “目的” 对应的标准英文单词是purpose，the purpose of life是固定搭配，意为“人生的目的”，符合语境。句子中the only 后接单数名词，因此用purpose符合语法要求。 50. The film is much more interesting than we ________ (预料). 【答案】expected 【解析】 【详解】句意：这部电影比我们预料的有趣得多。“预料”expect；根据语境，“预料”是发生在过去的动作，因此动词要用过去式。故填expected。 B）用所给词的适当形式填空 51. The aim of this charity show is ________ (raise) money for Project Hope. 【答案】to raise 【解析】 【详解】句意：这场慈善演出的目的是为希望工程筹集资金。根据“The aim of this charity show is”提示，动词不定式作表语，说明主语的具体内容。raise的不定式形式是to raise。 52. You are sure to be ________ (success) sooner or later if you keep working hard. 【答案】successful 【解析】 【详解】句意：如果你继续努力，迟早一定会成功。根据“be”提示，需填形容词作表语。success的形容词形式是successful“成功的”。 53. The teachers welcome their students ________ (polite) at the school gate every morning. 【答案】politely 【解析】 【详解】句意：老师每天早上在学校门口礼貌地欢迎学生。 这里是考查用副词修饰动词welcome；polite形容词，将它改为副词politely，意思是“礼貌地”。故填politely。 54. Look at the purse on the ground. Maybe it is one of those ________ (interview). 【答案】interviewers’ 【解析】 【详解】句意：看地上的这个钱包，它可能是某位面试官的。one of后需接名词复数形式，interview需先变为表示人的名词interviewer，再用复数interviewers，且此处是表示“面试官的钱包”，需用名词所有格形式，故填interviewers’。 55. We shouldn’t laugh at the ________ (able), we should help them. 【答案】disabled 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们不应该嘲笑残疾人，我们应该帮助他们。括号内的单词able是形容词，结合语境，此处需用“the + 形容词”表示一类人，able的反义词是disabled(残疾的)，the disabled表示“残疾人”，因此填disabled。 五、句型转换（每小题1分，共5分） 56. The article is so easy that everyone can understand it.

And this can be the most important when you share walls, floors or ceilings with neighbors in a flat—noisy neighbor can make life challenging, especially if noise goes well into night, or happens during early morning hours. This situation needs to be dealt with properly, which needs your ability to keep calm. First, you should try to tell your neighbors about the noise. This conversation should be polite and friendly. It can begin with words like “I am not sure you know that.” Explain the problem in an honest way, and ask the neighbors to turn down the music, or not to hold parties until 3 a.m. You can also say that you realize they hear your noise too, and you’re willing to try to stop anything in your behavior that is creating much noise. You should know that not all neighbors are going to follow your requirements, and some may act in a bad manner. If the noisy neighbors don’t change their behaviors, the next step should be to write the neighbors a letter. The letter should show your grievances (不满) and the dates when the noise was quite terrible. For example, if your neighbor has loud gatherings every Friday night that last into the early morning, then write down those dates. When the noise remains going on, you should report it to local authorities (当地政府部门), or even call the police, when it is really necessary. Often, however, you can solve the problem when the noisy neighbor knows you are going to call the police. Be aware that you can’t always make noisy neighbors be quiet. When the noise remains going on, it is wise not to deal with it in an angry way. If you have completed the steps and letter don’t start hitting walls or floors around in your home or turning up the music to make your neighbors angry. Just have patience and remember that communication is the most important.

BUSES: A bus will be waiting at Fenton to take walkers back to Weldown. The bus will leave every 30 minutes starting from 12 p.m. The service is free. 31.

It is the first writers’ strike in more than 15 years, causing many new projects to stop. ① One big issue behind the WGA strike is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) programs. The WGA demanded that AI not be allowed to write or rewrite literary (文学的) material or be used as source material. Creative AI programs like ChatGPT can now create human-like literary works. Writers are worried that media companies might someday use AI instead of people to make scripts for movies and TV shows. This might bring plagiarism (抄袭) problems as AI usually creates scripts based on a writer’s work. ② ③ At the same time, using AI to write scripts has a big impact on writers’ pay. As Warren Leight, an executive producer, said, studios might let AI create a first draft, then hire people to do a second draft, which pays less. This makes writers want to “nip that in the bud” AI is already being used in the entertainment industry in other ways, such as making actors appear younger and removing dirty words, said Fortune magazine. ④ As James Perry, a TV actor and vice-chair of the WGA’s Disabled Writers Committee told Reuters, “This is a crisis (危机) for writers.” 36. What is the main reason for the WGA members strike? A. Many writers cannot find jobs. B. The writers want a raise. C. Writers don’t want AI to be used to create and rewrite scripts. D. Many new projects have recently been stopped. 37. What do the plagiarism problems in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Writers creating scripts based on AI drafts. B. Writers copying other writers’ works. C. AI producing no creative works. D. AI writing scripts based on a writer’s works. 38. What does the underlined phrase mean? A. Writers are happy to see that. B. Writers want to stop that from happening. C. Writers don’t care about that. D. Writers think it’s possible. 39. In which place can this sentence “Although AI is not set to replace human writers anytime soon, the possibility is still there.” be put? A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 40. What might be James Perry’s idea? A. AI brings a sense of crisis to writers. B. AI is affecting the industry in a positive way. C. AI will replace writers soon. D. AI doing most jobs is a historical trend. C During the last few years of his life, my dad lived just up the road from me in a tiny house. He had been alone for over 20 years after I lost my mom. His own mother had recently passed away too. He was disabled and retired so he spent a lot of time alone. Several times a week, though, I would take a walk up to his house. We would sit in the living room, drink tea and talk. It wasn’t anything big. We talked about sports, cars, gardening, weather, and enjoyed a laugh over old memories. It wasn’t anything too deep. It was just a simple sharing, a connection between a father and a son. An hour spent just enjoying each other’s company. Those afternoons remain some of my happiest times spent with my dad. It allowed us to gently heal (治愈) any old wounds we had given each other when I was growing up. It allowed us to silently give each other time and love. It allowed us to grow closer together before he left this world. I know that when my own time in this world is done, I will get to spend another afternoon with my dad. We will sit, talk, catch up and quietly enjoy each other’s company. We will share all the love we didn’t get to share. And we will remember that afternoon forever. If there is one thing that I learned from those afternoons, it is this: It is never too late to spend time with those you love. It is never too late to tell them that you love them. It is never too late to heal a relationship and mend a hurting heart. Begin today! Spend an afternoon with those you love and those afternoons will become a lifetime. 41. What do we know about the author’s family from Paragraph 1? A. The author lived far from his dad. B. His dad couldn’t talk in voice freely. C. His grandma passed away not long ago. D. His grandma lived with his dad for 20 years. 42. When he was visiting his dad, he did a lot of things with him EXCEPT ________? A. drinking tea in the living room B. laughing happily during the talk C. talking about life and memories D. taking his dad to walk up to his house 43. What is the purpose of Paragraph 3? A. To imagine a beautiful future for his dad. B. To advise people to spend afternoons nicely. C. To show the author’s expectations for his children. D. To show that the writer values the time spent with his dad. 44. What does the author want to tell us? A. There is no need to heal a relationship. B. Spend more time with the ones we love. C. It is never too late to learn to be a parent. D. Don’t wait for others to mend your hurting heart. 四、词汇（每小题1分，共11分） A）根据括号内所给中文提示、单词释义或首字母提示写出单词 45.

This situation needs to be dealt with properly, which needs your ability to keep calm. First, you should try to tell your neighbors about the noise. This conversation should be polite and friendly. It can begin with words like “I am not sure you know that.” Explain the problem in an honest way, and ask the neighbors to turn down the music, or not to hold parties until 3 a.m. You can also say that you realize they hear your noise too, and you’re willing to try to stop anything in your behavior that is creating much noise. You should know that not all neighbors are going to follow your requirements, and some may act in a bad manner. If the noisy neighbors don’t change their behaviors, the next step should be to write the neighbors a letter. The letter should show your grievances (不满) and the dates when the noise was quite terrible. For example, if your neighbor has loud gatherings every Friday night that last into the early morning, then write down those dates. When the noise remains going on, you should report it to local authorities (当地政府部门), or even call the police, when it is really necessary. Often, however, you can solve the problem when the noisy neighbor knows you are going to call the police. Be aware that you can’t always make noisy neighbors be quiet. When the noise remains going on, it is wise not to deal with it in an angry way. If you have completed the steps and letter don’t start hitting walls or floors around in your home or turning up the music to make your neighbors angry. Just have patience and remember that communication is the most important.
