2025-2026学年度第二学期期中测试八年级英语
一、基础知识
Ⅰ. 单项选择, 从每小题的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。
1. Peter returned the wallet to the police. He was ______ honest boy.
A. a B. an C. the D. (不填)
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】试题分析:句意:彼得把钱包还给了警察,他是一位诚实的男孩。定冠词the表示特指,不定冠词a/an表示泛指,a用在以辅音开始的单词前,an用在以元音开始的单词前。他是一位诚实的男孩,表示“一……”是不定冠词的用法,honest的第一个音/ɒ/是元音。前加不定冠词用an,故选B。
【考点定位】 考查冠词辨析。
2. —How long have you had that book?
—I’ve had it _______ three years.
A. in B. since C. for D. before
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你拥有那本书多久了?——我拥有它三年了。
考查介词辨析。in接时间,表示在将来的一段时间之后或表示在某个较长的时间范围;since接时间点,表示动作开始的起点;for接时间段,表示动作持续的时间长度;before接时间点,表示”“在……之前”。根据“I’ve had it…three years.”可知,此句是现在完成时,表示动作或状态持续的时间段时,通常用“for+时间段”。故选C。
3. Tom is interested in Chinese food. He will ________ come for dinner, but I’m not sure.
A. always B. hardly C. probably D. never
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:汤姆对中国菜感兴趣。他可能会来吃晚餐,但我不确定。
考查副词辨析。always总是;hardly几乎不;probably可能;never从不。根据“but I’m not sure”可知,此处表示不确定的推测,即“可能”会来吃晚餐,所以应该用probably。故选C。
4. The exchange student never expected ________ such a warm welcome from his new classmates.
A. receive B. receiving C. to receive D. received
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:这位交换生从未预料到会从他的新同学那里收到如此热烈的欢迎。
考查非谓语动词。receive收到(动词原形);receiving收到(动名词/现在分词);to receive收到(动词不定式);received收到(过去式/过去分词)。expect to do sth.“预料做某事”,是固定搭配,C项符合。故选C。
5. —Let’s ________ the music and dance show this Sunday!
—Why not? I’m good at singing and dancing.
A. look after B. go for C. write to D. let off
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我们这个星期天去看音乐和舞蹈表演吧!——为什么不呢?我擅长唱歌和跳舞。
考查动词短语。look after照顾;go for去,前往;write to写信给;let off使某物爆炸。根据“the music and dance show this Sunday!”可知,此处指的是去看音乐和舞蹈表演。故选B。
6. —Why do Chinese cities plant so many trees along streets?
—They are doing this ________ make the environment greener and more beautiful.
A. so that B. because of C. in order to D. instead of
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——为什么中国的城市在沿街种这么多的树木?——他们这样做是为了让环境更绿更美丽。
考查目的状语。so that以便、为了;because of因为;in order to为了;instead of而不是。根据“They are doing this ... make the environment greener and more beautiful.”可知,沿街种树是为了让环境更好。in order to后接动词原形表示目的。故选C。
7. We intended ________ a school trip last Saturday, but it rained heavily. As a result, we had to call off the trip.
A. to have B. have C. had D. has
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们原计划上周六进行一次学校旅行,但雨下得很大。结果,我们不得不取消了旅行。
根据“intended”可知,此处考查固定搭配“intend to do sth.”表示“打算/计划做某事”,应填动词不定式to have。
8. The vegetables in this store are ________ than those in that one.
A. fresh B. fresher C. freshest D. the freshest
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:这家商店的蔬菜比那家商店的蔬菜更新鲜。
fresh新鲜的;fresher更新鲜的;freshest最新鲜的;the freshest最新鲜的。根据句中的关键词“than”可知,此处表示两者之间的比较,应用形容词的比较级形式。
9. True friends are like stars. You may ______ see them but you know they are ______ there.
A. always not; never B. always not; always C. not always; never D. not always; always
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:真正的朋友就像星星。你不可能总是看到他们,但是你知道他们总是在那。
考查频率副词。always not总是不;never从不;always总是;not always不总是。根据句子结构和选项可知,but前面的分句是否定句,not应紧接may之后,所以第一空用not always;根据“but”可知,but后面的分句表示你知道他们总是在那,所以第二空应用always。故选D。
10. My mother asked me to ________ junk food. She wanted me to keep healthy.
A. look out of B. keep away from
C. take care of D. take part in
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:我妈妈让我远离垃圾食品。她想让我保持健康。
look out of向外看;keep away from远离;take care of照顾;take part in参加。根据“junk food”及“keep healthy”可知,远离垃圾食品是保持健康的方式,keep away from符合语境。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,这篇文章介绍了在上海和南翔品尝小笼包的美味体验,强调了其独特的制作方式和美味的口感。
【56题详解】
句意:你去上海的旅行如果没有品尝小笼包,就会觉得不完整,因为小笼包是最美味的中国菜之一。根据“one of the finest Chinese…”可知,one of the+最高级+名词复数“……中最……的之一”,空处填写名词复数,结合所给单词提示,dish“菜肴”,复数dishes。故填dishes。
【57题详解】
句意:小笼包,也被称为汤饺,以其美味的皮和馅料而闻名。根据“is famous…its delicious skin”可知,be famous for“以……闻名”,故填for。
【58题详解】
句意:当饺子上桌时,它们非常烫,所以你需要非常小心地吃。根据“so you need to eat very…”,空处缺少副词修饰动词eat,结合所给单词提示,carefully“仔细地、小心地”,故填carefully。
【59题详解】
句意:为了吃一个小笼包,你必须决定是在上面咬一个小洞,还是把整个饺子放进嘴里。根据“you have to decide whether to bite a small hole in it…”结合所给单词提示可知,空处缺少副词,表示首先,first“首先”。故填first。
【60题详解】
句意:虽然许多人认为上海是汤饺的发源地,但它的邻近城镇南翔才是小笼包的故乡。根据“…neighboring town Nanxiang is xiao long bao’s birthplace”结合所给单词提示可知,空处缺少形容词性物主代词its修饰限定town,表示“它的邻近城镇”,故填its。
【61题详解】
句意:在那里,你会发现汤饺的制作方式不同——更多的饺子,更少一些汤,并且皮都是手工制作的。根据“more dumpling and…soup”并结合所给单词提示,空处填写little的比较级less,表示更少的,故填less。
【62题详解】
句意:最好的汤饺可以从蒸笼里拿出来而不破裂。根据“The best soup dumplings can be taken…of the steamer basket without being broken”,此处指的是可以从蒸笼里拿出来不破裂,take out of“从……里拿出来”。故填out。
【63题详解】
句意:如今,在其他城市找到一个小笼包店并不难。根据“it’s not hard…a xiao long bao house in other cities”并结合所给单词提示,该句it的特殊句式,其中it作形式主语,缺少to do不定式作句子真正的主语,因此空处填写to find,故填to find。
【64题详解】
句意:我喜欢中国快餐,因为它既好吃又健康。根据“for it tastes nice and is…at the same time.”并结合所给单词提示,空处缺少形容词作表语,healthy“健康的”,故填healthy。
【65题详解】
句意:无论我在哪里买小笼包,一个蒸笼都不够,但两个又太多了。根据“one steamer basket is hardly enough…two is too much.”可知,前后两句之间是转折关系,一个不够两个又太多,使用转折连词but,故填but。
