Gabri Blankson shared her reviews of The World Belonged to Us, one of the summer’s most interesting books. We hope you’ve enjoyed reading! What is the book about? A young girl from Brooklyn enjoys summer fun with her friends. The book is based on the writer’s life. As a girl, Woodson spent long days outdoors. She jumped rope in the street. Night and day, she and her friends had a good time. How do the pictures add to the story? They bring the story to life. They show all the fun the writer and her friends had in Brooklyn during the summer. Pictures are a great way for young readers to piece the story together. The pictures show that even boring things like old cans can be used and made into great toys, like water shooters. ▲ It’s a great book for children who love sharing summer memories. How would you rate this book? Why? I would rate this book a 9 out of 10. That’s because it’s harder for kids who don’t live in Brooklyn to relate (关联) to the story. Overall, though, the book is great. It tells readers that no matter the weather, the temperature, or the problem, summer fun can never be stopped. 14. What does the young girl in this book The World Belonged to Us like to do in summer? A. To go travelling alone. B. To read books in the library. C. To stay at home and watch TV. D. To stay outside and play with her friends. 15. How does the writer help younger readers piece the story together? A. By comparing things. B. By using pictures. C. By giving examples. D. By showing numbers. 16. Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ”? A. Who would like this book? B. Where can you buy this book? C. Why would kids dislike this book? D. What can you learn from the book? C At eleven the next night I bring one hundred thousand dollars in banknotes to the police station and put them into the chief’s (警长) hands. He takes the money and leaves, with a confident look in his eyes. The next hour passes slowly and when I hear his footsteps I get up to meet him. His eyes are happy as he says. “We’ve made an agreement! Follow me!” He picks up a candle and walks down into the basement of the building. Sixty Mark Twain detectives (侦探) always sleep here, and a group of them are playing cards when we come into the room. I follow him as he walks quickly to the far end of the basement. It is dark and frightening and there is a very bad smell. I feel sick and want to go back. Suddenly, Detective Blunt falls over a large object, shouting as he falls: “Here is your elephant!” Someone carries me to the office above, where I come to my senses once again. Reporters arrive and detectives open bottles of champagne and shake hands and talk warmly. Naturally the chief is the hero and his happiness is complete. I am happy for him although now I am like a beggar, my elephant is dead, and I have no job. Many people congratulate the chief and many detectives say, “Look at him, the greatest man of the police. There isn’t anything that he can’t find.” The happy detectives share the fifty thousand dollars and the chief says, as he puts his share into his pocket: “Enjoy it, boys; you’ve earned it. And more than that, you’ve made the police force famous.” And so the mystery of the stolen elephant is solved. The next day the newspapers are full of good words. But, the poor elephant Hassan is lost forever. When he was shot he went into the dark, unfriendly place in the fog, and there, surrounded by his enemies and constant danger of detection, he died of hunger. The “agreement” cost me one hundred thousand dollars; my detective expenses (费用) were forty-two thousand dollars more. I lost my job. I am a ruined man and a wanderer on the earth. But I still admire that man, the greatest detective in the world. And I will admire him until the day I die. (Adapted from The Stolen White Elephant) 17.

Which is the correct order of the following events according to the story? a. “I” bring one hundred thousand dollars to the police station. b. The detectives share the reward. c. Detective Blunt finds the elephant in the basement. d. The elephant is shot. A. c-d-a-b B. d-c-a-b C. a-c-d-b D. a-b-d-c. 20. What is the main purpose of the story? A. To praise the hard work of the police department and the detectives. B. To tell us how important the white elephant is. C. To make fun of the police department and the detectives. D. To tell the readers how the white elephant is stolen. D Have you ever dreamed of traveling in space? For many kids, staring at the stars leads to daydreams about what it would be like to be an astronaut. Just think about how amazing it would be to set foot on the moon or another planet! Although it sounds like it would be great fun to travel to outer space, it would be a lot of work, too. Traveling to outer space needs lots and lots of preparation. Once you are in space, nothing can come on board the ship and nothing can go out. You must take all you need into outer space to keep yourself alive. Let’s call these things “inputs”, including food, water and oxygen. Every input creates an output. If you open a box of cookies for breakfast, what will you do with the box when it’s empty? Every piece of rubbish you create in space will remain on the ship with you. Your body will also output food and water. Since nothing can leave the spaceship, you will have to think of another way to deal with these bodily wastes. Even breathing creates an output carbon dioxide (二氧化碳)! It’s true that plants depend on carbon dioxide in the same way humans depend on oxygen to breathe. However, plants have other input needs. If you take a banana tree with you, you will need to bring enough water to keep it alive. You must also consider another type of output rubbish in the ship after taking the fruit as snacks-the banana peel. See how carefully you have to plan for a trip to outer space? How can you plan your actions on earth to have the least influence on the environment and your future? Not only do you have to think about all the things you’ll need, you will also have to consider the influence of those things because of the wastes they may create. 21. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. It’s challenging to travel in space. B. It’s boring to live on the moon. C. It’s relaxing to stare at the stars. D. It’s difficult to be an astronaut. 22. What do we know about the input in space? A. It will make astronauts sleepy. B. It only means things to eat and drink. C. It is quite important to astronauts. D. It can help astronauts deal with rubbish. 23. Which of the following is an “output” according to paragraph 3? A. Some cookies. B. Food and water. C. Your oxygen mask. D. The empty cookie box. 24. What does the 4th paragraph mainly talk about? A. The reason why breathing creates an output. B. A way to plant a banana tree in space successfully. C. The reason why plants depend on carbon dioxide. D. A way to deal with carbon dioxide in the spaceship. 25. What can be the best title for the passage? A. How to prepare for a trip to outer space B. How to deal with wastes in the spaceship C. Differences between inputs and outputs D. Different ways to deal with wastes in space 三、信息还原（本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） British culture has changed a lot over the years. ____26____ Many years ago, people spent most of their free time reading books or listening to the radio at home.

In the past, people had to turn to travel companies to organize their trips. But today, online travel platforms allow us to plan journeys by ourselves at home through their artificial intelligence (AI). Expedia has Romie, its “AI-powered travel buddy”, Trip.com has TripGenie and Booking.com has introduced its own AI helper called Trip Planner. One big attraction of these AI travel tools is that they can free people from tiring and repetitive work. For those who find holiday booking stressful, personalized AI travel plans can be very convenient. For example, AI can help design a romantic trip according to people’s preferences, like “heart-shaped beds”, according to Rob Francis, Booking.com’s chief technologist. But these AI travel tools are still in the early stages and far from perfect. During a test, TripGenie recommended a hotel near the airport in Paris as a romantic choice for a new couple, which was clearly not a good choice. Besides, AI cannot fully understand everyone’s different tastes. Not everyone shares the same idea of a romantic trip. AI travel helpers also have risks. They can give wrong information, as once happened to Air Canada. Travellers were even tricked into booking expensive flights or giving money to advertisers. However, big travel websites have a lot of data, such as hotel rooms and user reviews, so they still have strong advantages with these AI tools. Their market values are even higher than last year. 51. What is the AI tool of Booking.com? ______________________________ 52. What kind of people may think AI tools are convenient? ______________________________ 53. Where was the hotel that TripGenie recommended for a new couple? ______________________________ 54. Why does the author mention Air Canada in the 4th paragraph? ______________________________ 55. What do you think of travel AI tools? ______________________________ 七、书面表达（本大题共20分） 56. 随着中国免签政策的实施，许多外国友人来到你的家乡旅游。他们震惊于中国科技飞速发展对生活带来的巨大变化。请根据下图用英语提示向他们介绍科技如何改变我们的生活和学习。 注意： 1.字数不少于90词，开头已给出，不计入总词数； 2.不得出现真实校名和姓名。 How technology has changed our lives Over the past few years, technology has greatly changed our lives, especially in lifestyle and study. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年春学期期中学业质量检测 八年级英语试卷 2026.04 第Ⅰ卷（客观题，共70分） 一、完形填空 （本大题共10分，每小题1分） When I was growing up, I hated every girl who could skip (跳绳).

They show all the fun the writer and her friends had in Brooklyn during the summer. Pictures are a great way for young readers to piece the story together.

He takes the money and leaves, with a confident look in his eyes. The next hour passes slowly and when I hear his footsteps I get up to meet him. His eyes are happy as he says. “We’ve made an agreement! Follow me!” He picks up a candle and walks down into the basement of the building.

What does the underlined part “a large object” in Paragraph 2 refer to (指的是)? A. An unknown thing. B. A sleeping detective. C. A piece of furniture. D. The white elephant. 18. How much money did “I” cost in all? A. 50,000 dollars. B. 142,000 dollars. C. 100,000 dollars. D. 42,000 dollars. 19. Which is the correct order of the following events according to the story? a. “I” bring one hundred thousand dollars to the police station. b. The detectives share the reward. c. Detective Blunt finds the elephant in the basement. d. The elephant is shot. A. c-d-a-b B. d-c-a-b C. a-c-d-b D. a-b-d-c. 20. What is the main purpose of the story? A. To praise the hard work of the police department and the detectives. B. To tell us how important the white elephant is. C. To make fun of the police department and the detectives. D. To tell the readers how the white elephant is stolen. 【答案】17. D 18. B 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了“我”为找回被偷的大象，花费巨资与警长达成“协议”，最终大象被找到但已死亡，“我”也倾家荡产，但依然钦佩警长的故事。 【17题详解】 根据文章第2段“Suddenly, Detective Blunt falls over a large object, shouting as he falls: ‘Here is your elephant!’”可知，这个“大物体”就是指被偷的大象。 【18题详解】 根据文章最后一段“The ‘agreement’ cost me one hundred thousand dollars; my detective expenses were forty-two thousand dollars more.”可知，“我”总共花费了100,000+42,000=142,000美元。 【19题详解】 根据第2段“It is dark and frightening and there is a very bad smell. I feel sick and want to go back. Suddenly, Inspector Blunt falls over a large object, shouting as he falls: ‘Here is your elephant!’”可知，首先Blunt侦探在地下室发现了大象，而大象已经成了尸体，因此判断大象被射杀发生在侦探发现它之前，故事件d（大象被射杀）排在事件c（找到大象）前，排除A和C。根据第5段“The happy detectives share the fifty thousand dollars and the chief says, as he puts his share into his pocket:”可知，侦探们分享奖励，对应事件b。只有找到大象，侦探才能分赏金，故事件c（找到大象）发生在事件b（分赏金）之前。排除D。故选B。 【20题详解】 根据文章内容，“我”花费巨资寻找大象，而警长和侦探们却只是做了一些表面功夫，最后大象虽然找到了但已经死亡，“我”也倾家荡产，这明显是在讽刺警察部门和侦探们的无能和不作为。所以文章的主要目的是取笑警察部门和侦探。 D Have you ever dreamed of traveling in space? For many kids, staring at the stars leads to daydreams about what it would be like to be an astronaut. Just think about how amazing it would be to set foot on the moon or another planet! Although it sounds like it would be great fun to travel to outer space, it would be a lot of work, too. Traveling to outer space needs lots and lots of preparation. Once you are in space, nothing can come on board the ship and nothing can go out. You must take all you need into outer space to keep yourself alive. Let’s call these things “inputs”, including food, water and oxygen. Every input creates an output. If you open a box of cookies for breakfast, what will you do with the box when it’s empty? Every piece of rubbish you create in space will remain on the ship with you. Your body will also output food and water. Since nothing can leave the spaceship, you will have to think of another way to deal with these bodily wastes. Even breathing creates an output carbon dioxide (二氧化碳)! It’s true that plants depend on carbon dioxide in the same way humans depend on oxygen to breathe. However, plants have other input needs. If you take a banana tree with you, you will need to bring enough water to keep it alive. You must also consider another type of output rubbish in the ship after taking the fruit as snacks-the banana peel. See how carefully you have to plan for a trip to outer space? How can you plan your actions on earth to have the least influence on the environment and your future? Not only do you have to think about all the things you’ll need, you will also have to consider the influence of those things because of the wastes they may create. 21.

In the past, people had to turn to travel companies to organize their trips. But today, online travel platforms allow us to plan journeys by ourselves at home through their artificial intelligence (AI). Expedia has Romie, its “AI-powered travel buddy”, Trip.com has TripGenie and Booking.com has introduced its own AI helper called Trip Planner. One big attraction of these AI travel tools is that they can free people from tiring and repetitive work. For those who find holiday booking stressful, personalized AI travel plans can be very convenient. For example, AI can help design a romantic trip according to people’s preferences, like “heart-shaped beds”, according to Rob Francis, Booking.com’s chief technologist. But these AI travel tools are still in the early stages and far from perfect. During a test, TripGenie recommended a hotel near the airport in Paris as a romantic choice for a new couple, which was clearly not a good choice. Besides, AI cannot fully understand everyone’s different tastes. Not everyone shares the same idea of a romantic trip. AI travel helpers also have risks. They can give wrong information, as once happened to Air Canada. Travellers were even tricked into booking expensive flights or giving money to advertisers. However, big travel websites have a lot of data, such as hotel rooms and user reviews, so they still have strong advantages with these AI tools. Their market values are even higher than last year. 51. What is the AI tool of Booking.com? ______________________________ 52. What kind of people may think AI tools are convenient? ______________________________ 53. Where was the hotel that TripGenie recommended for a new couple? ______________________________ 54. Why does the author mention Air Canada in the 4th paragraph? ______________________________ 55. What do you think of travel AI tools? ______________________________ 【答案】51. Trip Planner. 52. Those who find holiday booking stressful. 53. Near the airport in Paris. 54. To show that AI gives wrong information. 55. They are convenient but still have risks. (言之有理即可) 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了在线旅游平台推出的AI旅行助手，如Booking.com的Trip Planner，分析了它们能帮助用户规划行程、解放劳动力的优点，同时也指出其推荐不准确、无法理解个性化需求以及可能提供错误信息等不足。 【51题详解】 第一段最后一句明确指出了Booking.com的AI工具名称：“Booking.com has introduced its own AI helper called Trip Planner.” 答案是原文直接信息。 【52题详解】 第二段第二句明确说明了哪类人会觉得AI工具方便：“For those who find holiday booking stressful, personalized AI travel plans can be very convenient.” 答案是原文直接信息。 【53题详解】 第三段明确说明了TripGenie推荐的酒店位置：“TripGenie recommended a hotel near the airport in Paris...” 答案是原文直接信息。 【54题详解】 第四段第二句说明了AI旅行助手存在的风险：“They can give wrong information, as once happened to Air Canada.” 因此提及加航是为了说明AI会提供错误信息。 【55题详解】 本题为开放性试题，需表达对AI旅行工具的看法。可结合文中提到的优点（方便、省时）和缺点（不准确、有风险）进行评价，言之有理即可。 七、书面表达（本大题共20分） 56. 随着中国免签政策的实施，许多外国友人来到你的家乡旅游。他们震惊于中国科技飞速发展对生活带来的巨大变化。请根据下图用英语提示向他们介绍科技如何改变我们的生活和学习。 注意： 1.字数不少于90词，开头已给出，不计入总词数； 2.不得出现真实校名和姓名。 How technology has changed our lives Over the past few years, technology has greatly changed our lives, especially in lifestyle and study. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 例文 How technology has changed our lives Over the past few years, technology has greatly changed our lives, especially in lifestyle and study.
