They make different sounds to talk to each other. This makes some scientists very interested. They want to use computers to understand dolphin sounds better. These computers use artificial intelligence (AI). The scientists now hope to “talk” with dolphins in the sea. One group called the Wild Dolphin Project has studied dolphins for many years. They have watched dolphins and listened to their sounds under the water. They learned that some sounds happen during certain actions. For example, dolphins may make a loud “squawk” when they are fighting. They may make a fast “buzz” when they like another dolphin. Now, Google engineers are using the dolphin sound information. They made a smart computer program called Dolphin Gemma. It listens to the dolphin sounds and finds patterns (模式). The goal is to guess what sounds a dolphin might make next, just like how some phones guess what word you want to type. The team also made a new system called CHAT. It uses special speakers in the ocean. These speakers play new whistle sounds that sound like dolphins’. The scientists try to teach dolphins that each sound means a kind of toy. If a dolphin makes the same sound back, it can get the toy. Dolphin Gemma helps the scientists know when the dolphin is asking for a toy. Google wants to share Dolphin Gemma so other people can use it. Maybe they can study other animals too. This is just the beginning of learning how animals talk. 30. What did scientists of the Wild Dolphin Project find? A. All dolphin sounds mean the same thing. B. Dolphins can learn human speech patterns fast. C. Dolphins only make sounds when they eat. D. Different dolphin sounds happen during different activities. 31. What is the main goal of the CHAT system? A. To help dolphins find food more easily. B. To make dolphins know human words. C. To let it help humans catch dolphins. D. To test whether dolphins can connect sounds with things. 32. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Google wants computers to do all the studies instead of people. B. Google won’t let others use Dolphin-Gemma to do their studies. C. There is still long way to go before scientists can know how animals talk exactly. D. It’s more important for scientists to study other animals than dolphins. 33. What’s the best title of the text? A. The future of studying how animals talk. B. How AI helps people understand dolphin language. C. New computer tools for recording ocean sounds. D. How to teach dolphins to play with underwater speakers. 【答案】30. D 31. D 32. C 33. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。主要讲述了科学家和工程师借助人工智能（AI）技术研究海豚声音，尝试理解并与海豚“交流”的相关探索。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Wild Dolphin Project ... They learned that some sounds happen during certain actions.”及后文“打架时发出‘squawk’声、喜欢其他海豚时发出‘buzz’声”的例子可知，该项目的科学家发现不同的海豚声音会在不同活动中出现。故选D。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The team also made a new system called CHAT... The scientists try to teach dolphins that each sound means a kind of toy. If a dolphin makes the same sound back, it can get the toy”可知，CHAT系统的主要目标是测试海豚能否将特定声音与对应的东西联系起来。故选D。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This is just the beginning of learning how animals talk”可推断，科学家要完全弄明白动物如何交流，还有很长的路要走。故选C。 【33题详解】 最佳标题题。文章围绕“科学家用AI（如Dolphin Gemma、CHAT系统）研究海豚声音、尝试理解海豚语言”展开，核心是AI对人类理解海豚语言的帮助。故选B。 C Do you often feel tired or unable to focus in class? It might have something to do with how you spend your free time after school. Many students choose to play video games or watch short videos for hours, but these activities don’t really help our bodies or minds relax. Instead, trying some simple, active things can make a big difference. First, taking a 20-minute walk outside is a great idea. Fresh air and sunlight can help you clear your mind after a day of studying. You might even notice small things you never saw before, like a new flower in the park or a bird building a nest. This small break can make you feel more energetic for homework later. If you have a pet, bringing it along for the walk makes the time even more fun—you can play fetch with your dog or let your cat explore the grass nearby. Second, doing a little creative work is helpful too. You don’t have to be good at it—drawing a quick picture, writing a short poem, or even arranging stones in your garden can work. Creative activities let your brain switch from “study mode” to “relax mode,” which helps reduce stress. For example, I once drew a picture of my favorite cartoon character after a hard math test, and I felt much calmer afterward. Lastly, talking to your family for 10 minutes can make you feel better. Share a funny thing that happened in class, or ask your parents about their day. This not only helps you relax but also makes your family closer. Sometimes, they might even give you a small piece of advice that solves a problem you’ve been worrying about. Remember, how you relax after school affects how you feel the next day. Choosing active, meaningful ways to spend your free time can make you healthier and more ready to learn. 34. What problem does the writer talk about first? A. Students having too much homework. B. Students feeling tired or unfocused in class. C. Students not liking going to school. D. Students forgetting what they learned. 35. What does the writer suggest doing for 20 minutes outside? A. Playing video games. B. Watching short videos. C. Taking a walk. D. Doing homework. 36. How long does the writer suggest talking to family? A. 5 minutes B. 10 minutes C. 15 minutes D. 20 minutes 37. Why does the writer suggest talking to family? A. To get help with homework. B. To learn about family history. C. To relax and get closer to family. D. To practice speaking skills. 【答案】34. B 35. C 36. B 37. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要针对学生课后感到疲倦或无法集中注意力的问题，提出了三种有效的放松建议：户外散步、创造性活动以及与家人交谈。 【34题详解】 根据第一段第一句“Do you often feel tired or unable to focus in class?”可知，作者首先提到的问题是学生在课堂上感到疲倦或无法集中注意力。 【35题详解】 根据第二段第一句“First, taking a 20-minute walk outside is a great idea.”可知，作者建议在外面散步20分钟。 【36题详解】 根据文章第四段第一句“Lastly, talking to your family for 10 minutes can make you feel better.”可知，作者建议与家人交谈10分钟。 【37题详解】 根据第四段第三句“This not only helps you relax but also makes your family closer.”可知，与家人交谈不仅有助于放松，还能拉近家庭关系。 任务型阅读 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Every year, there’s a talent show in our school.

When we walked on the stage (舞台), we were very nervous. Later, we made a mistake during the competition so we didn’t win. But we will work harder for the next competition. There are six boys in my team and we’re good at street dance. When the music played, we all felt excited. We danced so well that all of the students and teachers cheered (喝彩) for us. Our team did a good job and won first prize. We felt happy and we learned how to work as a team. This is the most important thing we learned from the competition. Everyone should have a dream.

She always helps me with my English problems. 【答案】patient##atient 【解析】 【详解】句意：我的英语老师很有耐心。她总是帮我解决英语难题。由后句 “She always helps me with my English problems.” 及首字母 p可知，老师很有耐心，patient“有耐心的”作表语。 42. You should be h________ with others. Don’t tell lies. 【答案】honest##onest 【解析】 【详解】句意：你应该对别人诚实。不要说谎。根据后句“Don’t tell lies.（不要说谎）” 以及首字母 h，可知此处是要诚实，honest“诚实的”，be honest with“对……诚实”，为固定短语。 43. We usually have a class m________ on Monday afternoon. 【答案】meeting##eeting 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们通常星期一下午有班会。根据首字母提示，周一下午有班会，class meeting“班会”，前面有a，用名词单数形式。故填meeting。 44. My favorite ________ (科目) at school is English. 【答案】subject 【解析】 【详解】句意：我在学校最喜欢的科目是英语。subject“科目”，根据“is”可知，此处应使用名词单数形式，subject符合句意。 45. Sandy can ________ (翻译) this article from Italian to English. 【答案】translate 【解析】 【详解】句意：桑迪能把这篇文章从意大利语翻译成英语。情态动词 can 后接动词原形；“翻译”对应的英文动词是 translate。 (B) 根据句意，用所给词的适当形式填空。 46. After a short rest, the workers kept on ________ (work) until midnight. 【答案】working 【解析】 【详解】句意：短暂休息后，工人们继续工作直到午夜。keep on doing sth.表示“继续做某事”，所以动词work变为动名词形式working。 47. Our teachers always encourage us ________ (exercise) a lot. 【答案】to exercise 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们的老师总是鼓励我们多锻炼。encourage“鼓励”，是动词，意为“鼓励某人做某事”的固定搭配为encourage sb. to do sth.，即encourage后面接宾语再接动词不定式作宾语补足语，所以此处需要用exercise的不定式形式to exercise。 48. It was ________ (usual) to see a snowstorm in May in the north of China. 【答案】unusual 【解析】 【详解】句意：在中国北方，五月份看到暴风雪是不寻常的。 usual是形容词，意为 “平常的，寻常的”；结合语境，五月下雪反常，需加否定前缀un-构成 unusual（不寻常的）。 49. Tom and Tim learned to dress ________ (they) when they were five. 【答案】themselves 【解析】 【详解】句意：汤姆和蒂姆五岁时就学会了自己穿衣服。they“他们”，是人称代词主格形式。句中“dress”后接反身代词，构成“dress oneself”短语，意为“给自己穿衣服”。主语Tom and Tim是两个人，为第三人称复数，因此需要用they对应的反身代词themselves，意为“他们自己”。 50. Eating too much junk food is ________ (health). 【答案】unhealthy 【解析】 【详解】句意：吃太多垃圾食品是不健康的。health为名词，意为“健康”；此处作表语，需用形容词。结合常识“吃太多垃圾食品不利于健康”，加否定前缀un-，构成unhealthy“不健康的”。 七、句型转换 (共5小题，每空1分，共15分) (A) 按要求改写下列句子，每空一词。 51. Tom usually walks to school. (改为同义句) Tom usually ________ to school ________ ________. 【答案】 ①. goes ②. on ③. foot 【解析】 【详解】句意：汤姆通常步行去上学。walk to school=go to school on foot，表示“步行上学”，主语Tom是第三人称单数，且句子时态为一般现在时，因此动词go需变为第三人称单数形式goes，应填goes；on；foot。 52. He spent two hours doing his homework last night. (改为同义句) It ________ him two hours ________ ________ his homework last night. 【答案】 ①. took ②. to ③. do 【解析】 【详解】句意：他昨晚花了两小时做作业。spend time doing sth.意为“花时间做某事”，可转化为“It takes sb. some time to do sth.”结构。原句为一般过去时，故take用过去式took，动词不定式符号to后接动词原形do。故填took；to；do。 53. You’d better practise playing the guitar at night. (改为否定句) You ________ ________ ________ practise playing the guitar at night. 【答案】 ①. had ②. better ③. not 【解析】 【详解】句意：你最好在晚上练习弹吉他。原句中“You’d better”是“You had better”的缩写，意为“你最好……”，是一个固定句型，用于提出建议。had better的否定形式是在had better后面直接加not，即“had better not + 动词原形”，表示“最好不要做某事”。 54. She jumped high. Her brother jumped higher. (合并为一句) Her brother ________ ________ ________ she did. 【答案】 ①. jumped ②. higher ③. than 【解析】 【详解】句意：她跳得高。她哥哥跳得更高。原句表达“哥哥跳得比她高”，需用“比较级+than”结构，结合原句的一般过去时，即“Her brother jumped higher than she did.”。 55. You should drink hot water when you have a sore throat. (对画线部分提问) ________ ________ I ________ when I have a sore throat? 【答案】 ①. What ②. should ③. do 【解析】 【详解】句意：当你喉咙痛的时候，你应该喝热水。划线部分为“drink hot water”，这是一个动作，对动作提问应使用疑问词What。原句中含有情态动词should，变为特殊疑问句时，结构为“疑问词+情态动词+主语+动词原形”。因此should放在主语I之前。由于疑问词What已经指代了具体的动作，句末的实义动词需要用do来代替划线部分。故填What should do。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 马鞍山市第八中学东校区2025-2026学年第一学期 八年级英语期中试题卷 (总分100分，时间90分钟) 一、听力测试 (本共20小题，每小题1分，满分20分) 第一节 (共10小题) 本部分共有10小题，每小题你将听到一段对话，每段对话听两遍，在听每段对话前，你将有5秒钟的时间阅读题目，听完后你将有5秒钟的时间选择最合适的备选答案。 1.

B Dolphins are smart animals. They make different sounds to talk to each other. This makes some scientists very interested. They want to use computers to understand dolphin sounds better. These computers use artificial intelligence (AI). The scientists now hope to “talk” with dolphins in the sea. One group called the Wild Dolphin Project has studied dolphins for many years. They have watched dolphins and listened to their sounds under the water. They learned that some sounds happen during certain actions. For example, dolphins may make a loud “squawk” when they are fighting. They may make a fast “buzz” when they like another dolphin. Now, Google engineers are using the dolphin sound information. They made a smart computer program called Dolphin Gemma. It listens to the dolphin sounds and finds patterns (模式). The goal is to guess what sounds a dolphin might make next, just like how some phones guess what word you want to type. The team also made a new system called CHAT. It uses special speakers in the ocean. These speakers play new whistle sounds that sound like dolphins’. The scientists try to teach dolphins that each sound means a kind of toy. If a dolphin makes the same sound back, it can get the toy. Dolphin Gemma helps the scientists know when the dolphin is asking for a toy. Google wants to share Dolphin Gemma so other people can use it. Maybe they can study other animals too. This is just the beginning of learning how animals talk. 30. What did scientists of the Wild Dolphin Project find? A. All dolphin sounds mean the same thing. B. Dolphins can learn human speech patterns fast. C. Dolphins only make sounds when they eat. D. Different dolphin sounds happen during different activities. 31. What is the main goal of the CHAT system? A. To help dolphins find food more easily. B. To make dolphins know human words. C. To let it help humans catch dolphins. D. To test whether dolphins can connect sounds with things. 32. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Google wants computers to do all the studies instead of people. B. Google won’t let others use Dolphin-Gemma to do their studies. C. There is still long way to go before scientists can know how animals talk exactly. D. It’s more important for scientists to study other animals than dolphins. 33. What’s the best title of the text? A. The future of studying how animals talk. B. How AI helps people understand dolphin language. C. New computer tools for recording ocean sounds. D. How to teach dolphins to play with underwater speakers. C Do you often feel tired or unable to focus in class? It might have something to do with how you spend your free time after school. Many students choose to play video games or watch short videos for hours, but these activities don’t really help our bodies or minds relax. Instead, trying some simple, active things can make a big difference. First, taking a 20-minute walk outside is a great idea. Fresh air and sunlight can help you clear your mind after a day of studying. You might even notice small things you never saw before, like a new flower in the park or a bird building a nest. This small break can make you feel more energetic for homework later. If you have a pet, bringing it along for the walk makes the time even more fun—you can play fetch with your dog or let your cat explore the grass nearby. Second, doing a little creative work is helpful too. You don’t have to be good at it—drawing a quick picture, writing a short poem, or even arranging stones in your garden can work. Creative activities let your brain switch from “study mode” to “relax mode,” which helps reduce stress. For example, I once drew a picture of my favorite cartoon character after a hard math test, and I felt much calmer afterward. Lastly, talking to your family for 10 minutes can make you feel better. Share a funny thing that happened in class, or ask your parents about their day. This not only helps you relax but also makes your family closer. Sometimes, they might even give you a small piece of advice that solves a problem you’ve been worrying about. Remember, how you relax after school affects how you feel the next day. Choosing active, meaningful ways to spend your free time can make you healthier and more ready to learn. 34. What problem does the writer talk about first? A. Students having too much homework. B. Students feeling tired or unfocused in class. C. Students not liking going to school. D. Students forgetting what they learned. 35. What does the writer suggest doing for 20 minutes outside? A. Playing video games. B. Watching short videos. C. Taking a walk. D. Doing homework. 36. How long does the writer suggest talking to family? A. 5 minutes B. 10 minutes C. 15 minutes D. 20 minutes 37. Why does the writer suggest talking to family? A. To get help with homework. B. To learn about family history. C. To relax and get closer to family. D. To practice speaking skills. 任务型阅读 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Every year, there’s a talent show in our school. And the theme (主题) of this year’s talent show is dreams. I took part in two competitions this year: cosplay (角色扮演) and dancing. The cosplay competition was the most popular part of the talent show. Students could get dressed up as any characters they liked. Although it was our first time to take part in such a competition, we decided to try our best. When we walked on the stage (舞台), we were very nervous. Later, we made a mistake during the competition so we didn’t win. But we will work harder for the next competition. There are six boys in my team and we’re good at street dance. When the music played, we all felt excited. We danced so well that all of the students and teachers cheered (喝彩) for us. Our team did a good job and won first prize. We felt happy and we learned how to work as a team. This is the most important thing we learned from the competition. Everyone should have a dream. So if you want to do something you like, just go for it! 38. What is the theme of this year’s talent show? (不超过5个单词) ________________________________________________________________ 39.
