2025-2026学年八年级下学期期末模拟试卷（扬州专用） 满分120分，时间100分钟 一、单项选择（共15小题；每小题1分，计15分） 在下列各题A、B、C、D四个选项中选择一个能填入题干空白处的最佳答案。 1．The word you are going to guess has seven letters, which begins with _________ “u” and ends with _______ “n”. A．an; an B．a; an C．an; a D．a; a 【答案】B 【详解】句意：你要猜的单词有七个字母，它以一个“u”开头，以一个“n”结尾。 不定冠词a用于辅音音素开头的词前，an用于元音音素开头的词前。字母“u”的发音为/juː/，以辅音音素/j/开头，故第一空填a；字母“n”的发音为/en/，以元音音素/e/开头，故第二空填an。 2．I argued with my friend. I don’t know ________. Can you give me some ________? A．what to do; advice B．what to do; advices C．how to do; advice D．how to do; advices 【答案】A 【详解】句意：我和朋友吵架了。我不知道该怎么办。你能给我一些建议吗？ what是疑问代词，可以直接作do的宾语，how为副词不可作宾语，how to do结构不完整，需要加宾语it，故第一空填what to do；advice意为“建议”，是不可数名词，无复数形式，故第二空填advice。故选A。 3．The old couple looked _________ at their grandson who was reading a fairy tale. They felt _________ to see him so interested in books. A．happy; happily B．happy; happy C．happily; happy D．happily; happily 【答案】C 【详解】句意：这对老夫妇高兴地看着正在读童话故事的孙子。看到他对书如此感兴趣，他们感到很高兴。 happy高兴的（形容词）；happily高兴地（副词）。第一空修饰实义动词looked，表示“看”的动作，需用副词happily；第二空feel为系动词，后接形容词happy作表语。应填happily；happy。 4．— Excuse me, will these two buses take me to the East Lake? — Yes. You can take ________ one. They both arrive at the same place. A．none B．both C．either D．all 【答案】C 【详解】句意：——打扰一下，这两辆公交车会带我去东湖吗？——是的。你可以坐其中任何一辆。它们都到达同一个地方。 none没有一个；both两者都；either两者中的任何一个；all三者或三者以上都。根据“these two buses”可知范围是两者，排除A和D；根据空后“one”可知此处指两者中的任何一个，both后通常接复数名词，either修饰单数名词。故选C。 5．________ people come to visit Huangshan Mountain every year. A．Million of B．Millions of C．Two millions D．Two millions of 【答案】B 【详解】句意：每年有数以百万计的人来参观黄山。 million表示“百万”，前面有具体数字时，million不加s，后面不加of；前面无具体数字时，用millions of表示“数以百万计的”。根据“people”可知，此处表示概数，应用Millions of。 6．It is wise________ Linda to make up her mind________ to play an instrument. A．for; learning B．for; to learning C．of; learning D．of; to learn 【答案】D 【详解】句意：琳达下定决心学习一门乐器，她很明智。 本题固定结构：It’s + 形容词 + of sb. to do sth.（形容人的品格、品性）；make up one’s mind to do sth.（下定决心做某事，固定搭配，后接动词不定式）。 wise是形容人本身的品质，介词用of；第二空固定搭配用to learn，符合语法和语义。 7．People are usually afraid of change, ________ the greatest part of history is that everything changes. A．because B．until C．but D．since 【答案】C 【详解】句意：人们通常害怕改变，但是历史最伟大的部分就是一切都在变化。 because因为；until直到；but但是；since自从/既然。根据空前的“People are usually afraid of change”和空后的“the greatest part of history is that everything changes”可知，前后两句的逻辑关系为转折，即“尽管人们害怕改变，但历史的本质就是变化”。but意为“但是”，表示转折关系，符合语境。 8．—Could you give me some advice on the coming test? —Well, stay calm and careful. Don’t hand in your test paper until the time ________ . A．uses up B．goes up C．runs out D．comes out 【答案】C 【详解】句意：——你能给我一些关于即将到来的考试的建议吗？——嗯，保持冷静和细心。直到时间耗尽才能交试卷。 考查动词短语。uses up用完、耗尽；goes up上升；runs out用完、耗尽；comes out出版、出现。根据“Don’t hand in your test paper until...”可知直到时间用完再交卷，“runs out”表示“时间、资源等耗尽”，为不及物短语，主语可以是时间，符合“时间耗尽”的表达，故选C。 9．The football match between Yangzhou and Taizhou ________ for several days, but all the fans are still quite excited. A．has started B．has ended C．has been on D．has been over 【答案】D 【详解】句意：扬州和泰州之间的足球赛已经结束好几天了，但所有球迷仍然相当兴奋。 考查现在完成时延续性动词的用法。has started已经开始，瞬间动词；has ended已经结束，瞬间动词；has been on已经开始并持续，延续性动词；has been over已经结束，延续性动词。现在完成时中，与表示一段时间的“for several days”连用时，谓语动词需用延续性动词，根据“but all the fans are still quite excited”可知，比赛结束后，球迷仍然相当兴奋。故选D。 10．Pay attention to your words. Just as the saying goes, “A tree ________ by its fruit, and a man by its talk.” A．knows B．is known C．knew D．will be known 【答案】B 【详解】句意：注意你的话语。俗话说:“看果子就知道树，看话就知道人。” 考查动词时态与语态。knows动词三单形式；is known一般现在时的被动语态；knew动词的过去式；will be known一般将来时的被动语态。观察句子，主语“A tree”与谓语动词know之间的关系是：被知道，被了解，可知应该用被动语态。句子属于格言警句，用一般现在时。故选B。 11．—Be quiet please! Have you seen the sign “No Talking”? —Sorry. I ________ it. A．didn’t notice B．haven’t noticed C．won’t notice D．don’t notice 【答案】A 【详解】句意：——请保持安静！你看到“禁止交谈”的标志了吗? ——对不起。我没有注意到它。 考查一般过去时。根据“Sorry.

Chinese people behave politely on any formal occasion, whether it is a wedding ceremony, a celebration party, or a banquet (宴席). As they say, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. The following basic Chinese table manners will help you generally master Chinese dinner manners. One clear difference between Western and Eastern dining habits is portion (一份) size. While meals in Western restaurants are sized for individuals  (个人), dishes offered in Chinese restaurants are meant to be shared. As such, food either comes in bite-sized pieces, or is prepared in a way that makes it easy to portion (分配) while being served to you on large plates. As meals are shared, one may care about the degree of sanitation (公共卫生). It’s common to find communal chopsticks (公筷) placed with each dish. It is good manners to use the communal utensils in a public setting. You may also notice that tables, especially those in larger dining rooms, are round and have a lazy Susan (more commonly known as “that rotating (旋转的) table on top of your table”). Besides efficiency (效率) purposes, circular tables stand for important meaning in Chinese culture. It means unity (团结) and presents dining as an event where family members get together. Before you spin the turntable to get to that delicious piece of duck, make sure that no one else is reaching for food! It’s impolite to spin the table just as someone is trying to pick up some food. As mentioned above, Chinese restaurants often use round tables. In Western cultures, the host or the eldest family member often sits at the head of a long table. But what happens when the table is round? As a round table, the seat of honor (首位) is the one facing the door. The closer you are sitting next to that seat, the more important you are. In a setting where there is no doorway—outdoor dining, for example-the seat of honor would be the one facing east. In a banquet environment, the table of honor is usually the one sitting farthest away from the door. The time at which the dining begins depends on the presence of party members. The suitable time to dig in is after the guest of honor, or the eldest member of the group, is seated and has begun their meal. Sometimes they will mean the start of a meal, by saying “吃吧” which means “Please eat”. 34．What should we do if we have meals in a public setting? A．Bring your own chopsticks from home. B．Use communal chopsticks to get food. C．Use your own chopsticks to share food. D．Share the food with others’ chopsticks. 35．What does the underlined word “spin” in the passage mean? A．turn something around B．pull something nearer C．pick something up D．move something away 36．What is the mainly idea of Paragraph 5? A．Why the table is round? B．How can you find a seat? C．Which is the honor seat? D．Who is the most important? 37．How does the writer organize the article? A．In time order. B．From specific (细节) to general (整体). C．In space order. D．From general to specific. 【答案】34．B 35．A 36．A 37．D 【导语】本文介绍了中国作为礼仪之邦的餐桌礼仪规范。 34．细节理解题。根据“As meals are shared, one may care about the degree of sanitation (公共卫生). It’s common to find communal chopsticks (公筷) placed with each dish.”可知，如果我们在公共场所用餐，我们应该用公筷取食物，故选B。 35．词句猜测题。根据“It’s impolite to spin the table just as someone is trying to pick up some food.”可知，当有人想要拿起一些食物时，旋转桌子是不礼貌的，因此划线词后是“spin”意为“转动”，故选A。 36．主旨大意题。根据Besides efficiency (效率) purposes, circular tables stand for important meaning in Chinese culture. It means unity (团结) and presents dining as an event where family members get together.”可知，这一段是说“为什么桌子是圆的”。故选A。 37．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章首段提出中国礼仪文化总体背景，后续段落分别详述餐桌礼仪的具体方面，整体结构从一般文化概念过渡到具体细节，选项D“从整体到细节”符合此逻辑。故选D。 C An old saying used for forecasting (预测) the weather says, “Red sky at night, sailors’ delight. Red sky in the morning, sailors (水手) take warning.” Is the saying true? It turns out that it is. A red sky at sunset may mean that there are clear skies to the west, where the sun sets. A red sky at sunrise usually means that the clear weather has already passed, so storms might be coming. Forecasting the weather has been practiced for thousands of years. In the 5th century BC, the Greeks sent out forecasts to sailors. They used signs in nature to forecast the weather. But today, meteorologists send exact forecasts further in advance (提前). They use scientific instruments to study weather conditions around the world and make forecasts. Pilots, farmers and many other people depend on these forecasts. Luckily, most of us can simply look on the smart phone or turn on the TV to find out what kind of weather is coming. If you are looking for some signs of the weather, pay attention to nature. There are two basic rules used in weather forecasting: Weather generally moves from west to east, and low air pressure (压力) usually means rain or snow. So pay attention to the signs. If rainbows form in the west at sunrise, the sun is on the way. Smell the flowers— their smells are stronger in wet air. What are the ants doing? Are they moving to higher ground? This could mean a drop in air pressure. Are the birds flying low or high? Falling air pressure may influence birds’ ears, so they fly low. And if the sky is red at sunset, you might plan a picnic for the next day! 38．What is the old saying about? A．The beauty of sunrise. B．The night sky. C．The signs of the weather. D．The sailors’work. 39．What does the underlined word “meteorologists” mean? A．The persons who give daily weather reports on TV. B．The persons who carry out research on natural history. C．The persons who take an interest in plants and animals. D．The persons who do scientific studies of weather conditions. 40．What do we know from the last paragraph? A．It’ll be sunny if ants move to higher places. B．The smells of flowers are stronger in wet air. C．Birds fly higher because of the low air pressure. D．It’ll rain if rainbows form in the west at sunrise. 41．What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text? A．To encourage people to get close to nature. B．To express the need for weather forecasting. C．To explain nature can tell us about the weather. D．To discuss how important weather forecasting is. 【答案】38．C 39．D 40．B 41．C 【导语】本文主要介绍利用自然界的迹象来预报天气。 38．推理判断题。根据“A red sky at sunset may mean that there are clear skies to the west, where the sun sets. A red sky at sunrise usually means that the clear weather has already passed, so storms might be coming.”可知，日落时的红色天空可能意味着太阳落山的西方天空晴朗。日出时天空呈红色通常意味着晴朗的天气已经过去，因此暴风雨可能即将来临。所以这句谚语是关于天气的迹象，故选C。 39．词句猜测题。根据“But today, meteorologists send exact forecasts further in advance (提前).”可知，提前发布准确的预报的应该是气象学家，故选D。 40．细节理解题。根据“Smell the flowers—their smells are stronger in wet air.”可知，闻闻花——它们的气味在潮湿的空气中更强烈。故选B。 41．主旨大意题。本文主要介绍利用自然界的迹象来预报天气，是在解释自然可以告诉我们天气情况。故选C。 D Robin and the outlaws (不法之徒) fought against the sheriff (治安官) and his men. Many men were killed or badly hurt on both sides. There were too many of the sheriff’s men for Robin and the outlaws to beat. In the end, the sheriff’s men captured Robin and took him to prison (监狱) in Nottingham. They tied him with rope and put him in a small room in the prison. The room was at the top of a tall tower. During the night, Robin was able to untie the rope. There was a small window in the tower. Robin tied one end of the rope to a ring in the wall of the room. He tied the other end to himself. Then he climbed out through the window. The room was a long way from the ground. Slowly, Robin climbed down the rope. He was halfway down when the rope broke. Robin fell to the ground. He lay there for a long time. His leg hurt badly. Before morning, Robin was able to stand up. Then he limped away from the tower. That evening, he came to a small fishing village. The sheriff’s men were not far behind him. He knocked on the door of a small cottage. An old woman opened the door. “Robbers are after me. They will kill me if they catch me. Let me hide and rest here.” The old woman looked at Robin. “He has a kind face,” she thought. “And he is hurt.” “You may stay here for a few days,” She said. Robin stayed with the old woman for many days. Slowly, he got a little better, and he was able to walk again. “How can I pay you?” he said to the old woman. “I have no money.” “I own a fishing boat,” the old woman said. “You can work with the fishermen. They go to the sea tonight.” Robin joined the fishermen on the boat. He worked as hard as he could, but he did not know how to fish. He didn’t catch anything. — Adapted from Robin Hood 42．The underlined word “captured” in Paragraph 1 means “________”. A．killed B．caught C．lost D．freed 43．What do you think of Robin when he got away from the room during the night? A．Clever. B．Kind. C．Patient.

A．Robin was put in prison because his leg was badly hurt. B．The old woman helped Robin because he was good at fishing. C．Robin had no money, so he couldn’t stay in the fishing village. D．It was a hard way to get away from prison, but Robin succeeded. 【答案】42．B 43．A 44．B 45．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了罗宾与治安官及其手下对抗失败被抓入监狱，夜里设法越狱受伤，逃到小渔村后得到老妇人帮助，罗宾通过在老妇人的渔船上工作来回报她的故事。 42．词句猜测题。根据文中“In the end, the sheriff’s men captured Robin and took him to prison in Nottingham.”可知，最后治安官的手下captured罗宾，把他带到诺丁汉的监狱，可推测“captured”意思是抓住，故选B。 43．推理判断题。根据文中“During the night, Robin was able to untie the rope... He tied one end of the rope to a ring in the wall of the room. He tied the other end to himself.

They heard that Jim was locked up in a small hut and decided to save him. At first, they planned to take the key from the old man after he fell asleep. But Tom did not like this easy way. He loved exciting adventures, so he refused the easy plan and wanted to try something difficult. One dark night, the two boys walked to the hut quietly. Huck found a high window and thought Jim could run away through it. But Tom shook his head and said, “We need a harder way and we do not want to hurry.” Then they decided to dig a tunnel under the hut. They used shovels and worked really hard the whole night until they broke through the ground. They went through the tunnel and saw Jim at once. A chain tied Jim to the bed and he looked very happy to see them. Huck wanted to cut the chain right away, but Tom stopped him quickly. “That is not how people do it in storybooks,” Tom said in a loud voice. Later, Uncle Silas put an ad in the newspaper to look for Jim’s owner. Huck was quite afraid because he worried that Jim would be sold to other places far away. That night, some men came to visit Uncle Silas. Huck and Tom took a sharp saw and ran back to the hut as fast as they could. Huck started to cut the chain, but Tom still insisted on doing it in a special way, just like the stories he read. ——Adapted from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn 56．What was their first plan to save Jim? 57．Why did Tom refuse the easy plan? 58．How long did it take them to dig the tunnel? 59．How did they see Jim? 60．What is Tom like in your eyes? 【答案】56．To take the key from the old man after he fell asleep. 57．Because he loved exciting adventures. 58．The whole night. 59．They went through the tunnel. 60．He is creative and likes adventures./He likes following storybook ways. 【导语】本文改编自《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》，主要讲述了Huck和Tom两个好朋友为了救被关在小屋中的Jim，放弃了简单的方案，选择挖掘隧道等更具冒险性的方式，最终成功营救Jim的故事，展现了Tom热爱冒险、痴迷故事书的性格特点。 【详解】56．第一段明确指出他们最初的计划是等老人睡着后从他那里拿走钥匙“they planned to take the key from the old man after he fell asleep”，因此答案是原文直接信息，用不定式形式作答。 57．第一段指出Tom拒绝了简单的计划，因为他热爱刺激的冒险“He loved exciting adventures, so he refused the easy plan”，答案可直接从原文中提取因果关系。 58．第二段末尾明确说明他们用铲子挖了一整晚“worked really hard the whole night until they broke through the ground”，因此答案是“The whole night”，属于原文直接信息。 59．第三段开头指出他们穿过隧道后立刻看到了，“They went through the tunnel and saw Jim at once”，答案直接提取原文表述。 60．开放题，答案不唯一。根据文中Tom拒绝简单方案、坚持按故事书的方式行事等细节，可以看出他富有冒险精神、富有创造力、喜欢模仿故事书中的做法等，言之有理即可。 六、缺词填空(共10空；每空1分，计10分) 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，完整地写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。(每空一词) Do you know the real meaning of the word “China”?

B China has long been known as a nation of rites (礼仪之邦). Chinese people behave politely on any formal occasion, whether it is a wedding ceremony, a celebration party, or a banquet (宴席). As they say, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. The following basic Chinese table manners will help you generally master Chinese dinner manners. One clear difference between Western and Eastern dining habits is portion (一份) size. While meals in Western restaurants are sized for individuals  (个人), dishes offered in Chinese restaurants are meant to be shared. As such, food either comes in bite-sized pieces, or is prepared in a way that makes it easy to portion (分配) while being served to you on large plates. As meals are shared, one may care about the degree of sanitation (公共卫生). It’s common to find communal chopsticks (公筷) placed with each dish. It is good manners to use the communal utensils in a public setting. You may also notice that tables, especially those in larger dining rooms, are round and have a lazy Susan (more commonly known as “that rotating (旋转的) table on top of your table”). Besides efficiency (效率) purposes, circular tables stand for important meaning in Chinese culture. It means unity (团结) and presents dining as an event where family members get together. Before you spin the turntable to get to that delicious piece of duck, make sure that no one else is reaching for food! It’s impolite to spin the table just as someone is trying to pick up some food. As mentioned above, Chinese restaurants often use round tables. In Western cultures, the host or the eldest family member often sits at the head of a long table. But what happens when the table is round? As a round table, the seat of honor (首位) is the one facing the door. The closer you are sitting next to that seat, the more important you are. In a setting where there is no doorway—outdoor dining, for example-the seat of honor would be the one facing east. In a banquet environment, the table of honor is usually the one sitting farthest away from the door. The time at which the dining begins depends on the presence of party members. The suitable time to dig in is after the guest of honor, or the eldest member of the group, is seated and has begun their meal. Sometimes they will mean the start of a meal, by saying “吃吧” which means “Please eat”. 34．What should we do if we have meals in a public setting? A．Bring your own chopsticks from home. B．Use communal chopsticks to get food. C．Use your own chopsticks to share food. D．Share the food with others’ chopsticks. 35．What does the underlined word “spin” in the passage mean? A．turn something around B．pull something nearer C．pick something up D．move something away 36．What is the mainly idea of Paragraph 5? A．Why the table is round? B．How can you find a seat? C．Which is the honor seat? D．Who is the most important? 37．How does the writer organize the article? A．In time order. B．From specific (细节) to general (整体). C．In space order. D．From general to specific. C An old saying used for forecasting (预测) the weather says, “Red sky at night, sailors’ delight. Red sky in the morning, sailors (水手) take warning.” Is the saying true? It turns out that it is. A red sky at sunset may mean that there are clear skies to the west, where the sun sets. A red sky at sunrise usually means that the clear weather has already passed, so storms might be coming. Forecasting the weather has been practiced for thousands of years. In the 5th century BC, the Greeks sent out forecasts to sailors. They used signs in nature to forecast the weather. But today, meteorologists send exact forecasts further in advance (提前). They use scientific instruments to study weather conditions around the world and make forecasts. Pilots, farmers and many other people depend on these forecasts. Luckily, most of us can simply look on the smart phone or turn on the TV to find out what kind of weather is coming. If you are looking for some signs of the weather, pay attention to nature. There are two basic rules used in weather forecasting: Weather generally moves from west to east, and low air pressure (压力) usually means rain or snow. So pay attention to the signs. If rainbows form in the west at sunrise, the sun is on the way. Smell the flowers— their smells are stronger in wet air. What are the ants doing? Are they moving to higher ground? This could mean a drop in air pressure. Are the birds flying low or high? Falling air pressure may influence birds’ ears, so they fly low. And if the sky is red at sunset, you might plan a picnic for the next day! 38．What is the old saying about? A．The beauty of sunrise. B．The night sky. C．The signs of the weather.

Many men were killed or badly hurt on both sides. There were too many of the sheriff’s men for Robin and the outlaws to beat. In the end, the sheriff’s men captured Robin and took him to prison (监狱) in Nottingham. They tied him with rope and put him in a small room in the prison. The room was at the top of a tall tower. During the night, Robin was able to untie the rope. There was a small window in the tower. Robin tied one end of the rope to a ring in the wall of the room. He tied the other end to himself. Then he climbed out through the window. The room was a long way from the ground. Slowly, Robin climbed down the rope. He was halfway down when the rope broke. Robin fell to the ground. He lay there for a long time. His leg hurt badly. Before morning, Robin was able to stand up. Then he limped away from the tower. That evening, he came to a small fishing village. The sheriff’s men were not far behind him. He knocked on the door of a small cottage. An old woman opened the door. “Robbers are after me. They will kill me if they catch me. Let me hide and rest here.” The old woman looked at Robin. “He has a kind face,” she thought. “And he is hurt.” “You may stay here for a few days,” She said. Robin stayed with the old woman for many days. Slowly, he got a little better, and he was able to walk again. “How can I pay you?” he said to the old woman. “I have no money.” “I own a fishing boat,” the old woman said. “You can work with the fishermen. They go to the sea tonight.” Robin joined the fishermen on the boat. He worked as hard as he could, but he did not know how to fish. He didn’t catch anything. — Adapted from Robin Hood 42．The underlined word “captured” in Paragraph 1 means “________”.

They heard that Jim was locked up in a small hut and decided to save him. At first, they planned to take the key from the old man after he fell asleep. But Tom did not like this easy way. He loved exciting adventures, so he refused the easy plan and wanted to try something difficult. One dark night, the two boys walked to the hut quietly. Huck found a high window and thought Jim could run away through it. But Tom shook his head and said, “We need a harder way and we do not want to hurry.” Then they decided to dig a tunnel under the hut. They used shovels and worked really hard the whole night until they broke through the ground. They went through the tunnel and saw Jim at once. A chain tied Jim to the bed and he looked very happy to see them. Huck wanted to cut the chain right away, but Tom stopped him quickly. “That is not how people do it in storybooks,” Tom said in a loud voice. Later, Uncle Silas put an ad in the newspaper to look for Jim’s owner. Huck was quite afraid because he worried that Jim would be sold to other places far away. That night, some men came to visit Uncle Silas. Huck and Tom took a sharp saw and ran back to the hut as fast as they could. Huck started to cut the chain, but Tom still insisted on doing it in a special way, just like the stories he read. ——Adapted from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn 56．What was their first plan to save Jim? 57．Why did Tom refuse the easy plan? 58．How long did it take them to dig the tunnel? 59．How did they see Jim? 60．What is Tom like in your eyes? 六、缺词填空(共10空；每空1分，计10分) 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，完整地写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。(每空一词) Do you know the real meaning of the word “China”?
