2023-2024学年度第二学期期末试卷八年级英语(南园)
笔试部分(满分100分)
一、语法与情景交际(共20小题:每小题1分,共20分)
1. He is really __________ excellent football player. He can also play ___________ violin very well.
A. an; a B. an; the C. the; a D. a; the
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:他真是一名优秀的足球运动员。他的小提琴拉得也很好。
考查冠词用法。第一个空,表示泛指“一名优秀的足球运动员”,而且excellent的发音是以元音音素开头的,因此用不定冠词an来修饰;第二个空,violin“小提琴”,指的是一种乐器,乐器名词前需加定冠词the,play the violin“拉小提琴”;故选B。
2. It’s raining outside. Please don’t leave________ it stops.
A. since B. when C. while D. until
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:外面正在下雨,请不要离开,直到雨停。
since自从;when当……时候;while当……时候;until直到……为止。根据“don’t leave... it stops”可知,此处是“not... until... ”结构,意为“直到……才……”。用until。
3. —How long have you ________ this computer?
—It’s two weeks since I bought it.
A. borrowed B. kept C. bought D. bad
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你持有这台电脑多长时间了?——自从我买它以来已经两周了。
borrowed借入;kept保持;bought买;bad坏的。根据“How long”可知提问时间段,谓语动词需用延续性动词。buy和borrow是瞬间动词,不能与时间段连用;bad是形容词,语法不符。kept是延续性动词,符合语境。
4. (2017·湖北鄂州·28)—What would you like to drink, tea or coffee?
—________ is OK, but I prefer coffee ________ milk.
A. Either; to B. Either; with C. Neither; to D. Neither; with
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你想喝什么,茶还是咖啡?——哪个都行,但是我更喜欢加牛奶的咖啡。
考查代词和介词辨析。either两者之一;neither两者都不;with有;to向。根据“OK”可知,是两者都可以,所以排除C/D;with介词,意为“带有”,介词短语做后置定语。故选B。
5. —Why didn’t you go to play basketball with us yesterday afternoon?
—I ________my mum do the housework at that moment.
A. help B. was helping C. have helped D. am helped
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——昨天下午你为什么没和我们一起去打篮球?——那时我正在帮我妈妈做家务。
根据时间状语“yesterday afternoon”和“at that moment”可知,动作发生在过去的某一特定时刻正在进行的动作,应用过去进行时,其结构是“was/were + doing”,主语I,此处用was helping。
6. — It’s so cold today.
— Yes, it’s colder than it was yesterday.
A. some B. more C. very D. much
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:今天这么冷。是的,比昨天冷的多。
A. some一些,修饰名词; B. more更多,修饰名词; C. very很,非常;修饰形容词原形; D. much很,非常,可修饰比较级,用以加强语气。在形容词比较级前可加一些表示程度的副词,如much,a little,even等,故选D。
7. Your _______ is really beautiful. Can you sing another song?
A. voice B. sound C. noises D. accent
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:你的嗓音真美。你能再唱一首歌吗?
voice表示一个人的声音;sound是声音的泛称,不特指什么声音;noise表示噪音,让人听起来不舒服的声音;accent口音,重音,腔调。根据“Can you sing another song?”语境可知,是指人的嗓音。
8. —Have you ________ been to France?
—No, ________.
A. ever; never B. never; ever C. ever; ever D. never; never
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你曾经去过法国吗?——没有,从来没有。
考查副词。ever曾经,常与现在完成时连用,表示某个动作或状态是否曾经发生过;never从未。分析句子可知,第一空表示“曾经”;第二空表示“从未去过”。故选A。
9. ________ visitors visit the Great Wall every day.
A. Five hundreds B. Five hundreds of C. Hundred of D. Hundreds of
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:每天有成百上千的游客参观长城。
当hundred前面有具体数字时,hundred用单数形式,后面不加of;当表示不确定数目“成百上千的”时,hundred用复数形式,后面加of,即hundreds of,是固定短语,后接可数名词复数。A、B 选项中有具体数字Five,hundred不应加s;C选项形式错误。Hundreds of符合题意。
10. Don’t ________ your key at home.
A. forget B. leave C. forgot D. left
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:别把钥匙落家里了。
forget忘记;leave留下;forgot忘记(过去式);left留下(过去式)。祈使句否定形式Don’t后接动词原形,排除C、D;表示“把某物落在某地”常用leave sth.+地点,forget后不接地点状语。根据“at home”可知应用leave。
11. ________ junk food you eat, ________ you will be.
A. The less; the healthier B. The more; the healthier C. The less; the more healthier D. The more; the more healthier
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:你吃的垃圾食品越少,你就会越健康。
the+比较级…,the+比较级…表示“越……,就越……。healthy的比较级是healthier,根据常识,少吃垃圾食品对身体更好,应填The less;the healthier。
12. This movie wasn’t __________. He fell asleep half way through it.
A. interesting enough B. enough interesting C. interested enough D. enough interested
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】试题分析:句意:这部电影不够有趣。他看了一半就睡着了。interesting enough足够有趣;enough副词,修饰形容词时置后; interesting形容词,形容事物;interested形容词,修饰人。所以选A。
考点:考查形容词及副词。
13. Mr Wang is________ kind________ all the students like him very much.
A. too, to B. enough, to C. as, as D. so, that
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:王老师如此和蔼,以至于所有学生都非常喜欢他。
too...to...太……而不能……,后面接动词原形;enough...to...足够……去做……,后面接动词原形;as...as..和……一样,后面接比较对象;so...that...如此……以至于……,后面接从句。根据空后“all the students like him very much”是一个完整句子,表示结果,符合 so...that...引导结果状语从句的用法。
14. —________ your school?
—It’s very beautiful.
A. What do you like B. How do you think of C. What do you think of D. Do you like
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你觉得你的学校怎么样?——它非常漂亮。
What do you like你喜欢什么;How do you think of搭配错误,正确为How do you like;What do you think of你觉得……怎么样;Do you like你喜欢吗。根据答句“It’s very beautiful.”是对事物的评价,“What do you think of...”用于询问对某物的看法。
15. All the students became ________ to hear the ________ news.
A. excited; excited B. exciting; excited C. exciting; exciting D. excited; exciting
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:所有的学生听到这个令人兴奋的消息都变得兴奋起来。
excited感到兴奋的,常修饰人;exciting令人兴奋的,常修饰物。第一空主语是“All the students”,指人感到兴奋,用excited;第二空修饰“news”,指消息令人兴奋,用exciting。
16. The population of China ________ big and about 70 percent of the population ________ farmers.
A. are; is B. is; are C. are; are D. is; is
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:中国人口众多,大约 70% 的人口是农民。
当population作主语表示“人口总数”这一整体概念时,谓语动词用单数;当表示“人口的百分之几”强调具体的人时,谓语动词用复数。第一空主语The population指整体,be动词用is;第二空主语70 percent of the population指具体的人,be动词用are。
17. I want to know some news, please ________ the radio.
A. turn on B. turn off C. turn up D. turn down
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:我想知道一些新闻,请打开收音机。
turn on打开;turn off关闭;turn up调大;turn down调小。根据“I want to know some news”可知想要听新闻,需要打开收音机才能收听,turn on符合题意。
18. I have a toothache so I have to stop ________ anything sweet.
A. to eat B. eat C. eating D. eaten
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:我牙疼,所以我必须停止吃任何甜的东西。
stop to do sth.意为“停下来去做某事”;stop doing sth.意为“停止做某事”。根据“I have a toothache”可知,因为牙疼所以要戒掉吃甜食这一行为,表示“停止做某事”,应用stop doing sth.结构。应填eating。
19. This silk dress ________ so smooth. It’s made in China.
A. tastes B. sounds C. feels D. looked
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:这件丝绸裙子摸起来如此光滑。它是中国制造的。
tastes尝起来;sounds听起来;feels摸起来;looked看起来。根据“smooth”可知是形容触感,应用feel,且句子为一般现在时,looked过去时不符合。

【解析】
【详解】句意:“十三”在一些西方国家被认为是一个不吉利的数字。设空处修饰后面的名词countries,所以应填入一个形容词形式作定语,提示词west“西方”,是名词,与其所对应的形容词western“西方的”,这里表示的是整个西方国家,因此首字母要大写,故填Western。
59. So far, people have planted ________ (thousand) of trees along the nice lake.

【答案】to read
【解析】
【详解】句意:作为一名老师,你应当鼓励你的学生在空闲时间多读书。句中encourage为核心谓语动词,考查固定搭配encourage sb. to do sth.,意为 “鼓励某人做某事”,要求其后接动词不定式作宾语补足语。因此read需变为不定式形式to read。
65. Would you please come to school a little _________ (early) next time?
【答案】earlier
【解析】
【详解】句意:下次你能早点来学校吗?根据“next time”可知,是请求下次比这次更早一些,空处修饰动词come,应填副词比较级earlier。故填earlier。
七、根据汉语提示完成下列句子(每空1分,共10分)
66. 根据计划,音乐会将在周二举行。
________ ________ the plan, the concert will be held on Tuesday.
【答案】 ①. According ②. to
【解析】
【详解】由中英文对比可知,缺少“根据”;according to表示“根据”,介词短语;according位于句首,首字母大写。故填According;to。
67. 桌子很重,因为它装满了书。
The desk is so heavy because it ________ ________ ________ books.
【答案】 ①. is ②. full ③. of
【解析】
【详解】原句中“装满了”是关键词,对应的短语是be full of,时态是一般现在时,主语是it,be用is。
68. 他们骑自行车去那里而不是乘公交车。
They went there by bicycle________ ________ by bus.
【答案】 ①. instead ②. of
【解析】
【详解】原句中“而不是”是关键词,表示“而不是”的短语是“instead of”。
69. 他正在浏览今天的报纸。
He is________ ________today’s newspaper.
【答案】 ①. looking ②. through
【解析】
【详解】根据中英文对照,空处缺少“浏览”,固定短语“look through”。题干句中“正在浏览”和“be 动词is”,因此用现在进行时be+doing形式。故填looking;through。
70. 约翰不允许孩子们把他的旧房子拆除。
John didn’t allow his children to ________ ________ his old house.
【答案】 ①. take ②. down
【解析】
【详解】原句中“拆除”是关键词,表示“拆除”的动词短语是take down。allow sb. to do sth.意为“允许某人做某事”,to后面必须接动词原形。

Life in space is much different from life on earth. How do astronauts live in space?
Eating In the past, astronauts could eat only small pieces of dried food. But now astronauts are able to eat more everyday food like fruit, vegetables and ice cream.

Having fun Astronauts can read books, play cards, listen to music or send e-mails to their friends and family when they aren’t working. Sometimes they just sit and look out of the window. It’s also much fun!
