2025-2026学年正衡中学八年级下学期期中模拟英语试卷 一、单项选择。（本题共10小题；每小题1分，共10分） 1. ________ where you are from, you will feel welcome when visiting China as a guest. A. No matter B. Even if C. So that D. Rather than 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：无论来自哪里，当你作为客人访问中国时，你都会感到受欢迎。 No matter常与疑问词连用引导让步状语从句；Even if引导让步状语从句但不直接接疑问词；So that引导目的状语从句；Rather than用于连接并列成分。根据句中"where"及语境，此处需表达“无论来自哪里”的含义。 2. —Must I return the book this week? —No, you ________. You can ________ it for 15 days. A. needn’t; keep B. needn’t; borrow C. mustn’t; keep D. mustn’t; lend 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我必须这周还书吗？——不，你不必。你可以保留它15天。 考查情态动词和动词辨析。needn’t不必；mustn’t禁止；keep保留、保存；borrow借入；lend借出。根据“—Must I return the book this week? —No, you...You can...it for 15 days.”可知，句中是“must”的一般疑问句否定回答，应该用“needn’t”表示“不必”；“for 15 days”表示时间段，需搭配延续性动词，“keep”是延续性动词，符合“保留15天”的语义。故选A。 3. Don’t try to do everything at once. Take it a bit ________. A. at times B. at that time C. all the time D. at a time 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：不要一次做完所有事情，一次做一点。 考查介词短语辨析。at times有时；at that time在那个时候；all the time一直；at a time一次。根据“Don’t try to do everything at once.”可知，建议我们每次做一点，分开去做。故选D。 4. —In order to learn English well, I will do a lot of reading every day. —Good idea. What’s more, using English in real ________will be helpful. A. conditions B. situations C. introduction D. conclusion 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——为了学好英语，我每天会大量阅读。 ——好主意。而且，在真实场景中使用英语会有帮助。 考查名词词义辨析。conditions条件，状况 ；situations场景，情况 ；introduction介绍 ；conclusion结论。结合语境，说的是在真实“场景”中用英语，用“situations”，故选B。 5. It’s really hard work. ________, we’ll try our best to finish it in time. A. Moreover B. Otherwise C. Anyway D. Instead 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：这真的是很辛苦的工作。不管怎样，我们会尽力按时完成的。 考查副词辨析。moreover此外，而且；otherwise否则，不然；anyway不管怎样；instead代替。根据“It’s really hard work…we’ll try our best to finish it in time.”可知，尽管工作很辛苦，但是不管怎样，都会按时完成的，anyway“不管怎样”符合。故选C。 6. —Where’s Tom? —Nobody knows where he ________. He ________ home for nearly a week. A. has been; left B. went; has been away from C. has gone; left D. has gone; has been away from 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——汤姆在哪里？——没有人知道他去了哪里。他离家近一周了。 考查动词时态。根据“Nobody knows where he”可知第一空是指没有人知道汤姆去了哪里（汤姆不在家），应用have gone to“去了（未回）”；第二句和一段时间连用，应用现在完成时，且谓语动词是延续性动词。leave“离开”，短暂性动词，对应的延续性动词为be away。故选D。 7. Lucy had few close friends. So she didn’t know ________ about the trouble. A. who to talk B. who to say C. who to talk to D. what to talk 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：露西几乎没有亲密的朋友，所以她不知道该和谁谈谈这个问题。 考查固定结构“疑问词+动词不定式”。what to talk结构错误，what是talk的宾语，需用介词about连接；who to say搭配不当，say需接说的内容，和what搭配；who to talk to与谁交谈；who to talk结构错误，who是talk的宾语，需用介词to连接。根据句意结构和语境可知，露西缺少与之谈论的人，所以疑问词为who，后面动词部分为talk to。故选C。 8. —I don’t like wasting time on the phone, ________ watching too many short videos. —Me ________. A. specially; either B. especially; either C. specially; neither D. especially; neither 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我不喜欢浪费时间打电话，尤其是看太多短视频。——我也不。 specially意为“特地，专门地”，指只做这一件事，而别的什么也不做；especially意为“尤其，特别”，强调“超过其他”，符合第一空语境。either用于完整的否定句末尾，意为“也（不）”；neither意为“也不”，可用于句首或简略回答。答句需要表示“我也不”，故第二空填neither。 9. J.K. Rowling got the idea ________ the first Harry Potter story ________ the train to London. A. for; to B. for; on C. to; for D. on; on 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：J.K.罗琳在去伦敦的火车上萌生了第一个《哈利·波特》故事的想法。 for关于；为了；on在……上；to到。“get the idea for sth.”是固定搭配，意为“产生……的想法”；“on the train”表示“在火车上”，因此选for; on。 10. —Why work hard if you can finish the work with the help of AI easily? —________, but I still believe that we should depend on ourselves. A. I can’t agree more B. I see your point C. It doesn’t matter D. My pleasure 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——如果你能在人工智能的帮助下轻松完成工作，为什么还要努力工作呢？——我明白你的意思，但我仍然相信我们应该依靠自己。 I can’t agree more我完全同意；I see your point我明白你的意思；It doesn’t matter没关系；My pleasure我的荣幸（常用于回答感谢）。根据答句中的“I still believe that we should depend on ourselves.”可知，答话人虽然理解对方的想法，但仍坚持自己的观点，应用“I see your point”表示理解对方，随后引出自己的不同意见，符合交际语境。 二、完形填空（本题共10小题；每小题1分，共10分） 通读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。 Evan Kail, a 34-year-old shop owner from the US, made a brave decision—he donated an old collection of photos showing Japanese war crimes in China during WWII. ___11___ he faced threats (威胁) for his actions, he says he has no regrets.

So they decided to help the blind by fixing the problem. Feng and Meng both studied at No. 37 Middle School in Taiyuan, Shanxi. They invented (发明) a new kind of Braille reader. Their Braille reader can turn words into raised dots (凸起的点). Blind people can read by touching the dots. Their work won the first prize in a national competition. The competition helps young students to develop creative thinking and solve common problems. “We found that today’s Braille readers are very difficult and expensive,” Feng said. “So we wanted to develop a user-friendly product (产品) for young blind children from grades 1 to 3. It is only about 2,000 yuan.” After making their first machine, Feng and Meng visited a school for the blind to get advice and improved it according to the students’ needs, like changing the size of the screen and the space between the dots. “The latest Braille readers now are expensive for most blind people. We hope the product will be in use and help those blind people soon,” Meng told Taiyuan News. 21. Why did the two students invent a new kind of Braille reader? A. To make money. B. To win a reading competition. C. To help kids to solve problems. D. To make more Braille books available. 22. What did Feng and Meng do to improve the machine? a. visited the blind for advice b. changed the number of the dots c. changed the size of the screen d. learned Braille A. a and b B. a and c C. b and d D. c and d 23. What do you think of Feng Yao and Meng Qi? A. Talented and helpful B. Outgoing and funny C. Handsome and quiet D. Strict and serious 24. What can we infer from the passage about most Braille readers on the market? A. They are mainly designed for blind adults rather than young children. B. They are too expensive for most blind people to afford. C. They are unable to turn words into raised dots. D. They have screens that are too big for blind children. 25. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. A National Competition for Young Students B. How to Make Braille Books at a Low Cost C. Two Teenagers Helping the Blind with a New Invention D. The Importance of Libraries for Blind People 【答案】21. D 22. B 23. A 24. B 25. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了太原市两名中学生为了解决图书馆盲文书籍匮乏且昂贵的问题，发明了一种物美价廉的盲文阅读器并不断改进，展现了他们的创新精神与社会责任感。 【21题详解】 第一、二段指出：“…found their city library didn’t have enough Braille books…they decided to help the blind by fixing the problem.”。这说明他们发明新机器是为了解决书籍不足的问题，让盲人有更多书可读。 【22题详解】 第四段描述了改进过程：“…visited a school for the blind to get advice and improved it according to the students’ needs, like changing the size of the screen…”。文中明确提到了“咨询建议”和“改变屏幕尺寸”。 【23题详解】 通读全文。文中提到：“They invented a new kind of Braille reader…won the first prize in a national competition.”，这体现了他们的才华；而“decided to help the blind”则体现了他们乐于助人。 【24题详解】 最后一段Meng提到：“The latest Braille readers now are expensive for most blind people.”。结合第三段提到的“…readers are very difficult and expensive”，可以推断出市面上大多数同类产品价格过于昂贵，普通盲人难以负担。 【25题详解】 本文主要讲述了Feng Yao和Meng Qi这两位青少年通过新发明帮助盲人的故事。选项C最能高度概括文章中心思想。 B Then Alice heard some noise. She looked around and saw a mouse swimming nearby. “Excuse me, Mouse,” she said. ”Do you know the way out of this pool?” The Mouse looked at her, but it didn’t say anything. “Maybe it doesn’t know English,” she thought. “I’ll try French.” Alice knew only the first lesson in her French textbook, so she said that. “Où est ma chatte?” she asked. The Mouse jumped out of the water in fear. “Oh,” Alice thought. “I asked the wrong thing. I asked it. “Where is my cat?” and mice are afraid of cats.” “I am sorry,” she said to the Mouse. “I forgot you don’t like cats.” “Would you like cats if you were a mouse?” the mouse said angrily. “Perhaps not,” Alice answered. “But I’m sure you’d like my pet, Dinah. She’s beautiful and very clever at catching... oops! Sorry. I nearly said the wrong thing. We won’t talk about Dinah any more. What about dogs?” But the Mouse began swimming away. “Come back, please,” Alice said. “I won’t talk about cats or dogs any more.” Slowly the Mouse swam back to her. “All right,” it said.” Come with me to the shore (岸边), and I’ll tell you why I don’t like cats and dogs. Alice swam with the Mouse to the shore. She was pleased to be out of the pool, which was now full of all kinds of animals, some of them very strange. —adapted from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland 26. Why did Alice say “Où est ma chatte?” to the Mouse? A. She wanted to ask where her cat was. B. She was trying to ask the way out in French. C. She was practicing her French lesson. D. She wanted to make the Mouse laugh. 27. What does the underlined word “fear” in paragraph 5 most likely mean? A. Anger. B. Surprise. C. Happiness. D. Terror. 28. What can we infer about Alice’s pet Dinah? A. Dinah is a dog that likes to play with mice. B. Dinah is a cat that is good at catching mice. C. Dinah is a mouse that Alice keeps as a pet. D. Dinah is a bird that flies away. 29. Why did the Mouse start swimming away after Alice mentioned dogs? A. Because dogs also hunt and scare mice. B. Because the Mouse disliked Alice’s sense of humor. C. Because the Mouse wanted to go to the shore alone. D. Because Alice spoke French again. 30. What is the best title for this passage? A. How Alice Learned to Speak French B. A Difficult Conversation Between Alice and a Mouse C. The Many Animals in the Pool D. Alice’s Way Out of Wonderland 【答案】26. B 27. D 28. B 29. A 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文改编自《爱丽丝梦游仙境》，讲述了爱丽丝在池塘中遇到一只老鼠，因语言和话题误会引发了一系列波折，最终和老鼠和解并一同游向岸边的故事。 【26题详解】 原文第3段提到“Maybe it doesn’t know English,” she thought. “I’ll try French.”，原文第4段提到“Où est ma chatte?” she asked.，原文第6段提到“I asked the wrong thing. I asked it. “Where is my cat?” and mice are afraid of cats.”，由此可知爱丽丝本想用法语问路，结果只会课本第一课的内容，不小心说出了“我的猫在哪里”，因此她是试图用法语问路。 【27题详解】 原文第5段提到“The Mouse jumped out of the water in fear.”，结合上下文，老鼠听到关于猫的问题后吓得跳出水面，因此“fear”的意思是恐惧，与选项D“Terror”同义。 【28题详解】 原文第7段提到“I am sorry,” she said to the Mouse. “I forgot you don’t like cats.”，原文第8段提到“But I’m sure you’d like my pet, Dinah. She’s beautiful and very clever at catching... oops! Sorry. I nearly said the wrong thing.”，由此可知Dinah是一只擅长抓老鼠的猫。 【29题详解】 原文第8段提到“We won’t talk about Dinah any more. What about dogs?”，原文第9段提到“But the Mouse began swimming away.”，结合常识，狗也会捕猎、吓到老鼠，因此老鼠听到爱丽丝提到狗后就开始游走了。 【30题详解】 全文围绕爱丽丝和老鼠在池塘里的对话展开，过程中多次因话题引发误会，因此“爱丽丝和老鼠之间一场艰难的对话”最适合作为标题。 四、信息还原（本题共4小题；每小题1.5分，满分6分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Wang Zhenyi was a great woman scientist, mathematician and poet during the Qing Dynasty. Wang was born in a rich family in Anhui Province in 1768. At that time, girls couldn’t get a good education. ____31____ When she was young, she learned many different subjects, such as maths, astronomy and so on. At the age of 18, she began studying them by herself. In the following years, she wrote several books to explain difficult scientific ideas in simple ways. During that period, all people deeply believed that lunar eclipses were caused by gods. ____32____ She showed that eclipses are natural events with the model in the end. ____33____ Besides, her poems showed great kindness to the poor. ____34____ In 1994, a large crater on Venus was named after her. Today, she is still remembered not only for her discoveries but also for her courage to challenge old ideas. A. Many people believed lunar eclipses were caused by gods. B. However, her father encouraged her to study. C. How important the discovery was! D. To explain the truth, Wang made a model with a lamp, a table and a mirror. E. She realized the importance of education. F. Although Wang died young, she influenced many later scientists. 【答案】31. B 32. D 33. C 34. F 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了清代杰出的女科学家、数学家和诗人王贞仪的生平事迹、科学成就以及她打破旧观念的勇气和深远影响。 【31题详解】 根据空前内容“girls couldn’t get a good education”描述的社会背景可知，此处需要一个转折来解释王贞仪为何能学习多门学科。B项“However, her father encouraged her to study.”构成了逻辑转折，并与下文“she learned many different subjects…”形成因果联系。 【32题详解】 根据空后内容“She showed that eclipses are natural events with the model in the end.”可知，此处应交代模型的来源。D项“To explain the truth, Wang made a model with a lamp, a table and a mirror.”明确提到了“made a model”，与空后的“the model”形成指代关系，衔接紧密。 【33题详解】 此处位于描述王贞仪科学成就的段落末尾。C项“How important the discovery was!”是对她成功解释月食真相这一科学贡献的感叹与评价，起到了总结和升华的作用。 【34题详解】 根据空后内容“In 1994, a large crater on Venus was named after her.”描述的后世纪念可知，此处需进行过渡。F项“Although Wang died young, she influenced many later scientists.”从她的生平转折到了对后世的深远影响，逻辑连贯。 五、阅读短文，回答问题。(前2题不超过4个词；第3题词数不限。注意标点) The official mascots (吉祥物) of the 2026 Spring Festival Gala were recently released, winning great popularity online. They are four lively horses named Qiqi, Jiji, Chichi and Chengcheng, which perfectly match the Gala’s theme “Galloping Forward, Unstoppable”. Each mascot has a rich cultural story. Qiqi gets ideas from a Western Zhou bronze (青铜) object, and its colour is based upon the meaning of “Qi”—a blackish-green horse. Jiji is designed after the Han Dynasty’s “heavenly horse”, with its wings spread wide as if flying toward the sun. Chichi comes from the Tang Dynasty’s “three-flower horse”, a symbol of high status (地位) in ancient times, standing tall with confidence. Chengcheng is one of the Przewalski’s horses, a special wild kind called a “living fossil (化石)” with a 60-million-year development history. All four mascots are decorated with traditional cloud patterns. These patterns not only make them much prettier but also carry deep cultural meanings. They are symbols of good wishes like “success at once” for the new year. For young people, these mascots are a wonderful chance to learn about ancient Chinese art and culture in a fun way. Since their release, they have won hearts of many people with their charm. We are all looking forward to seeing them shine on the stage. 35.

What chance do these mascots offer to young people? _________________________________________________________________ 【答案】35. Four. 36. Chengcheng. 37.

Dynasty 50. southern 51. stomachs 52. especially 【解析】 【48题详解】 句意：——你认为游览这座城市的最佳方式是什么？——我认为地铁是最好的选择。它又快又干净。问句询问最佳方式，此处应是回答地铁是最好的选择。choose“选择”是动词，根据“is the best”可知，此处用其名词形式choice“选择”作宾语。 【49题详解】 句意：古镇里的那座石结构建筑可追溯到明朝。Ming Dynasty表示“明朝”，专有名词首字母需大写。 【50题详解】 句意：广州是中国南方的一座现代化大城市。south“南方”，此处用其形容词形式southern“南方的”修饰名词part。 【51题详解】 句意：我不知道牛有多少个胃。你知道吗？how many后接可数名词复数，stomach“胃”的复数形式直接加s，即stomachs。 【52题详解】 句意：数百万朵野花点缀着山谷，尤其是在四月和五月。所以你可以在那个时候来。此处强调时间状语“in April and May”，special“特别的”为形容词，应用副词especially“特别，尤其”。 八、句子翻译 53. 这个城市自从去年开始以惊人的速度发展。 The city ________ since last year. 【答案】 has developed at an amazing speed 【解析】 【详解】原句中“发展”和“以惊人的速度”是关键词，“发展”用动词develop，句中“since last year”是现在完成时的标志，表示动作从过去持续到现在，结构为“have/has+过去分词”，主语The city为单数，因此助动词选has，动词develop变为过去分词；“以惊人的速度”用固定介词短语“at an amazing speed”。故填has developed at an amazing speed。 54. Jack加入排球俱乐部已经三年了。 Jack ________________ the Volleyball Club for three years. 【答案】has been in##has been a member of 【解析】 【详解】根据“for three years”可知，句子时态是现在完成时have/has done，且谓语是延续性动词；加入：join，变延续性动词是be in/be a member of；主语是Jack，现在完成时用has done，故填has been in/has been a member of。 55. 每一个兵马俑的的尺寸都和一名真实的士兵一样吗? Is each Terracotta Warrior ________? 【答案】the same size as a real soldier 【解析】 【详解】原句中“和……一样”以及“尺寸”和“一名真实的士兵”是关键词。“和……一样”常见的英文表达是“the same...as...”；“尺寸”对应的英文是“size”；“一名真实的士兵”翻译为“a real soldier”。 56. 老师建议我们不要泄露这个故事的结局。 The teacher ________. 【答案】 advised us not to give away the ending of the story 【解析】 【详解】原句中“建议某人不要做某事”和“泄露”是关键词，表示“建议某人不要做某事”的固定结构为advise sb. not to do sth.；表示“泄露”的短语为give away；“这个故事的结局”表达为the ending of the story。本句陈述过去的动作，谓语动词应用一般过去时。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年正衡中学八年级下学期期中模拟英语试卷 一、单项选择。（本题共10小题；每小题1分，共10分） 1. ________ where you are from, you will feel welcome when visiting China as a guest.

They are four lively horses named Qiqi, Jiji, Chichi and Chengcheng, which perfectly match the Gala’s theme “Galloping Forward, Unstoppable”. Each mascot has a rich cultural story. Qiqi gets ideas from a Western Zhou bronze (青铜) object, and its colour is based upon the meaning of “Qi”—a blackish-green horse. Jiji is designed after the Han Dynasty’s “heavenly horse”, with its wings spread wide as if flying toward the sun. Chichi comes from the Tang Dynasty’s “three-flower horse”, a symbol of high status (地位) in ancient times, standing tall with confidence. Chengcheng is one of the Przewalski’s horses, a special wild kind called a “living fossil (化石)” with a 60-million-year development history. All four mascots are decorated with traditional cloud patterns. These patterns not only make them much prettier but also carry deep cultural meanings. They are symbols of good wishes like “success at once” for the new year. For young people, these mascots are a wonderful chance to learn about ancient Chinese art and culture in a fun way. Since their release, they have won hearts of many people with their charm. We are all looking forward to seeing them shine on the stage. 35.
