B Just as the saying goes, “Life is like a box of (different) chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.” Not only life, so are the blind boxes from the Henan Museum. The museum catches visitors’ eye with many kinds of archaeological (考古的) blind boxes. These blind boxes are popular because visitors can find replicas of cultural relics (文物复制品) by themselves. If you want an archaeological blind box, you just need to spend about 60 yuan on it. Then you can dig and find your own treasure. The mystery boxes come in different sizes and shapes. Some are small and some are big. The museum’s first blind boxes sold out very soon because many people were interested in them. And many visitors asked the museum to produce more. However, the museum in Henan is not the only museum to sell archaeological blind boxes in China. The Shaanxi History Museum in Xi’an has made its own blind box models. And the blind boxes from the Sanxingdui Museum in Sichuan are popular with people too. Shanghai Museum also plans to do so.

The History of the Henan Museum C Colin sat in his wheelchair (轮椅) in the secret garden. The sun was warm, and everything looked alive. He saw that Mary was now strong and her face was pink from working outside. She was not the weak girl she used to be. Colin began to feel something new and strong inside himself. He saw a strong rose branch growing tall. “Mary! Dickon!” he suddenly shouted. “Watch me!” They looked at him. Colin’s face was red but serious. He moved the blanket off his legs. “I want to stand up,” he said. He had never said this before. He was a little afraid, but he also felt a new power. Dickon came over to help, but Colin stopped him. “No. I have to do it alone.” He took a deep breath, held the chair tightly, and slowly moved his feet down. He was shaking. He sat for a moment, trying to be brave. Then, he used all his strength and pushed up. He was standing! He couldn’t stand very well, and after a few seconds, he sat down again, breathing fast. But he did it. A big, happy smile appeared on his face. “You did it! You did it!” Mary said hotly, almost jumping. “I said I could!” Colin answered, still breathing fast. “This is just the first time. I will become as strong as Dickon. I will live for a very, very long time!” There was magic in the secret garden. It was not real magic. It was the strong feeling in a young boy who had been unhappy for too long. —Adapted from The Secret Garden 53. What made Mary look strong and have a pink face? A. Talking with Dickon every day. B.

How Colin tried to stand up by himself in the garden. D. What Mary and Dickon did to make the garden beautiful. D In spring, some people wear T-shirts while others are in coats. It seems that people feel different temperatures on the same day. Why does this happen? In fact, people don’t feel air temperature directly. There are sensors (传感器) on our skin that can feel cold, cool, warm, and hot temperatures. These sensors are also in our noses and bodies. When bodies are the same size, how much body fat we have can be different and influence (影响) how we feel temperatures. The more body fat one has, the warmer he or she feels. This is because the fat under the skin helps keep heat, according to the website The Swaddle. For example, old people often feel colder than young people as the fat under the skin gets thinner with age. Surprisingly, another reason is height. We need blood to move around our bodies to keep us warm. Since most people’s hearts are about the same size, it takes more effort and time for the blood to move around in taller people. So taller people might feel colder, said the newsletter Mic. Metabolism (新陈代谢) also influences how we feel temperatures. It shows how fast our bodies use energy. People with a higher metabolism always feel hotter than others. This is because they produce more heat and may take more time to cool down. For example, people with more muscles (肌肉) often feel warmer. 57. How do people feel air temperature? A. With their nose. B. With their muscles. C. With their body fat. D. With their body’s different sensors. 58. Why do old people feel cold more easily? A. Their bodies get smaller. B. They have thinner skin. C. They have less fat under their skin. D. They can’t keep heat easily. 59. According to the passage, who is most likely to feel cold? A. A tall, thin person. B. A tall, fat person. C. A short, thin person. D. A strong, muscular person. 60. What is the structure of the passage? A. ①/②③④/⑤ B. ①/②/③④⑤ C. ①②③④/⑤ D. ①/②③④⑤ 第二节：从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，其中有两项是多余选项。 The oil paper umbrella is a traditional Chinese handicraft. It has a history of over 1,000 years in China. In the Tang dynasty, it was introduced to Japan, where it was called the “Tang Umbrella”. 61 In Vietnam, Thailand and Laos, it has developed into different styles. However, the handmade oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life. 62 People there make umbrellas from skin paper (皮纸), bamboo and a coating of tung oil (桐油). It needs more than 70 steps to make an oil paper umbrella. Making bamboo ribs, pasting paper (糊纸) and painting patterns are the most important. 63 A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. “I want to bring the art to life,” Liu said. 64 As the traditional paper was easy to break, he started using a kind of thicker paper. In a test, his umbrellas were opened and closed 1,000 times without breaking. He also used special bamboo to make the umbrellas lighter. 65 He goes to local schools to teach students. He also goes to events in different places to promote (推广) the art. A. Now Liu hopes the art can be passed on. B. They were turned into decorative artworks. C. It takes at least a week to make an umbrella. D. Many students are good at making Liu’s umbrellas. E. Later oil paper umbrellas spread to other Asian countries. F. He improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people. G. Yuhang has been famous for oil paper umbrellas for more than 250 years. 五、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分；在空白处填入一个适当的单词） An earthquake destroyed buildings in Highfield, making thousands of people (66) h________.

One day he was walking in Sherwood Forest. There he got into trouble with a group of men. Among them, he killed the cousin of the Sheriff (郡长) of Nottingham. Robin became an outlaw(逃犯), and soon he became the leader of more than one hundred other outlaws. Robin and other outlaws always looked for rich people and asked them to their camp in Sherwood Forest. When they arrived, Robin gave them a treat and then he took their gold away to help the poor. Robin became most famous for “robbing from the rich and giving to the poor”. The Sheriff of Nottingham was Robin’s greatest enemy and treated the poor badly. He hated Robin because Robin was an outlaw. But most of all, he hated Robin because Robin was so kind that everyone else loved him. The Sheriff of Nottingham kept trying to catch Robin Hood, but never succeeded. 86. What was Robin like according to the passage? 87. Where did Robin get into trouble with a group of men? 88.

Wetlands are home to many animals and plants. Plants there not only help get rid of pollution, but also play an important role in storing water, so they act like the “kidneys” of the earth. However, some people want to make wetlands smaller in order to have more space for farms and buildings, which leads to less space for wildlife. Moreover, fishermen keep fishing there, and the birds don’t have enough food to eat. Sometimes, tourists bring trouble to the animals there or harm the plants. To solve these problems, the government can make laws to stop people from building and fishing there. What’s more, it is also a good idea to tell people how to protect wetlands. It’s meaningful to join an environmental group and work as a volunteer. Please join us. Together we can help protect the wetlands With kind thanks, Lihua 八年级英语试题 第1页（共8页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
