Zac was taller and stronger than me. But my speed gave me an advantage in games. When we were 15, we were proud to join the Springtown Stars which was the best under-17 team in our area. There was another team called the Springtown Asteroids. They trained just as hard as us, but didn’t play in important matches very often. One day, the coach put up the new season’s team list. My finger was shaking as I looked for my name. Zac’s name was on the list, but mine wasn’t. I said to myself, “There must be a mistake!” I felt heartbroken and couldn’t believe I had been left out. Being on the Asteroids made me feel like I was falling behind. After joining the Asteroids, I was really angry. I kicked the ball hard and didn’t care when my teammates passed the ball to me. Every time Zac waved at me, I just turned around. I was so upset. Everything changed during a Saturday match. The Stars were playing against Riverside United. I hid behind the stands and watched. They worked together so well. Zac could stop those passes that I couldn’t. Then I remembered that while I was busy getting angry, Zac was practicing free kicks every Tuesday and Thursday. When the game ended, I waited at the exit, I said to Zac, “Your winning kick in the second half was so cool!” and I put up my hand. He gave me a high-five, which made me feel warm inside. He said excitedly, “Coach said you’re getting much better now. If you keep training hard, we’ll be teammates again.” That night, I made a new plan and stuck it on my wall: more practice, more time. I realized being on the Asteroids was not a punishment. It was a chance for me to grow. I’ve learned that getting angry won’t help you succeed. True success comes from continuous effort, not just wishful thinking or expecting things to fall into place without hard work. 24. Why did the writer feel heartbroken? A. Because he wasn’t taller and stronger than Zac. B. Because his name was not on the Stars’ list. C. Because there was a mistake in the Stars’ list. D. Because the Asteroids trained even harder. 25. Where did the writer watch the match between the Stars and Riverside United? A. On the field with the players. B. In the locker room. C. Behind the stands. D. At home on TV. 26. What did the writer decide to do after talking with Zac? A. Stop playing football with Zac. B. Practice more and work harder. C. Try to join another football team. D. Ask for a chance to join the Stars. 27. What does the story mainly want to tell us? A. Teammates playing against each other can harm their friendship. B. Natural talent is more important than practice in football. C. Being on a less popular team results in fewer chances. D. Success comes from hard work and continuous effort. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者因未入选心仪的Stars队而心碎，加入Asteroids队后经历愤怒，最终通过观看比赛和与好友Zac交流，明白成功源于持续努力而非负面情绪的故事。 【24题详解】 根据第二段中“Zac’s name was on the list, but mine wasn’t...I felt heartbroken”可知，作者感到心碎是因为他的名字没有出现在Stars队的名单上。 【25题详解】 根据第四段中“I hid behind the stands and watched.”可知，作者躲在看台后面观看了Stars和Riverside United的比赛。 【26题详解】 根据最后一段中“That night, I made a new plan and stuck it on my wall: more practice, more time.”可知，作者在与Zac交谈后决定制定新计划，多加练习，更加努力。 【27题详解】 根据最后一段中“True success comes from continuous effort, not just wishful thinking...”可知，文章主要想告诉我们成功来源于努力工作和持续的努力，而不是空想。 C First impressions can be powerful. In less than a second, we can tell if they are honest and attractive. We may also decide what kind of people they are. The appearance of people generally leads to certain common assumptions (假定). We also know that these assumptions can influence real-life behaviors. Physically attractive people generally get more good comments (评价) than less attractive people, Marine Rougier, a researcher in Belgium, said. In scientific circles, this is known as the “halo effect”, and it shows that people usually think that attractive people have better personality. But in today’s digital age, first impressions are often formed online, where photos can be changed using digital tools like filters (滤镜). So, can we still trust our first impressions when images (图像) can be so easily changed? In a recent study, Rougier and her colleague, Jan De Houwer, showed participants (参与者) photos of people with different levels of charm. Participants formed first impressions, but then were told that the photos might have been edited (修图) to make the people look more or less beautiful. Surprisingly, even after knowing this, participants still kept their first impressions. But in a following study, when participants were shown how easy it is to edit photos, they were much more likely to change their minds. This “halo-update effect” shows that first impressions are malleable. For example, if someone seems confident and social at first because of their charm, people may think they’re less confident when they find out that the person’s photo was edited. What does this mean for us? It suggests that we can challenge first impressions with new information. So, if you’ve ever worried about leaving a bad first impression, don’t be too nervous—people’s opinions can change. Just be careful with editing your photos too much, as it could let others form an overly positive opinion of your personal or professional image. This research also tells us that looks aren’t everything, and people’s understanding of us can keep changing over time. Whether online or in person, the chance to change someone’s first impression is always there. 28. Which of the following is true about “halo effect”? A. It means people with good looks usually get more good comments. B. It shows physically attractive people have a perfect personality in real life. C. It only happens in Belgium and has nothing to do with other countries. D. It makes people think attractive people are good at all the skills. 29. What can you learn from the study in Paragraph 4? A. Participants formed their first impressions by reading different types of comments. B. Digital tools like filters played a key role in changing participants’ opinions. C. First impressions were the same after participants knew the photos might be edited. D. Knowing why the images were improved made many participants change minds. 30. What does the underlined word “malleable” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. wrong. B. important. C. meaningful. D. changeable. 31. What’s the passage mainly about? A. How first impressions can be changed in the digital age. B. Why we form different impressions on the same person. C. The power of halo effect on leaving a good impression. D. The importance of changing people’s first impressions. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了“光环效应”如何影响人们的第一印象，以及在数字时代照片可被编辑的情况下，研究发现第一印象虽然顽固但仍可被新信息改变，即“光环更新效应”。 【28题详解】 第二段指出：“Physically attractive people generally get more good comments than less attractive people”，并说明“In scientific circles, this is known as the ‘halo effect’”，因此A正确。 【29题详解】 第四段明确说：“Surprisingly, even after knowing this, participants still kept their first impressions.”即参与者在知道照片可能被修过之后，第一印象仍然保持不变。A选项“通过阅读评论”错误；B选项“滤镜起了关键作用”与原文相反，滤镜并未改变他们；D选项“知道原因”不准确，原文是“shown how easy it is to edit photos”才改变了看法，而非知道“why”。 【30题详解】 第五段提到：“This ‘halo-update effect’ shows that first impressions are malleable”，随后举例说明人们发现照片被修图后会改变看法，因此malleable意为“可改变的”，即changeable。 【31题详解】 全文核心：第一段引入第一印象的力量→第二段介绍光环效应→第三段提出数字时代照片可编辑的问题→第四、五段通过研究说明第一印象可以被新信息改变→第六、七段总结启示。因此主旨是“数字时代第一印象如何被改变”，选A。 六、（共 10 分，每题 2 分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Have you ever felt like studying is a bit boring but watching someone else study makes you want to join in? You’re not alone. “Study with Me” is a new way you can try. The basic idea behind it is that watching someone else study motivates (激励) us to do the same. “Study with Me” is a kind of live broadcast (直播) on the Internet showing real-time scenes of someone studying. The videos are often silent or include soft background music. It creates a sense of companionship (陪伴) for the viewers and provides shared focus, a common experience and a feeling of community and togetherness. Studying together can make the learning process more enjoyable and effective, leading to the rising popularity of the study broadcast. More and more students around the world find it interesting. So, why does watching someone else study make us want to study too? Scientists explain that it’s a human’s natural habit. When we watch someone else study, we are likely to copy the habits of those around us, like following their note-taking skills and break routines, which is called mimicry (模仿). Moreover, we have the need for social support. People on the screen are like our secret study partners. When we see them working hard on the screen, we might feel that we are part of a team. It can help us keep going through our own difficulties. “Study with Me” can be helpful, but there are a few things to keep in mind. First, we should set clear study goals before joining online study partners because it can help us stay focused on our own work. Besides, it’s important not to depend on it too much because true motivation should come from within. Lastly, we’d better stick to learning with people who have well-organized study plans. As we move further into the digital age, ways of learning are always changing, offering exciting new learning experiences. “Study with Me” is a great example to create global connections and encourage students to enjoy the learning journey through focus, fun and friendship. 32. What is “Study with Me”? __________________________________________________ 33. According to the passage, what are we likely to do when we watch someone else study? __________________________________________________ 34. Why should we set clear study goals first before joining online study partners? __________________________________________________ 35.

It is a kind of live broadcast on the Internet showing real-time scenes of someone studying. 33. We are likely to copy the habits of those around us. 34.

In an office one might stay late on a project, and other workers feel pressured to also stay late to avoid looking lazy. On social media, one friend’s perfect vacation photos can make others feel they must also post perfect pictures. These situations all come from a problem called the theater effect, which explains why people find it hard to stop competing, even when it is unnecessary. The theater effect happens when one person tries to do better, forcing others to follow. In the end, everyone works harder, but no one truly benefits. Imagine watching a movie—if the people in front stand up, those behind must stand too. Finally, everyone is standing, but the view remains the same. A well-known experiment at Stanford University tested this idea. Researchers invited 200 people to bid (竞标) for a $100 bill under special rules: the highest bidder wins the bill but must pay their bid, and the second-highest bidder also pays their bid(but wins nothing). At first, bids were small but as the price neared 100, people refused to stop. Some even bid more than $100 just to avoid losing their earlier bids. This behavior shows that once competition begins, people realize that it’s hard to stop competing, even when it no longer makes sense. The theater effect comes from early human survival instincts (本能). Back then, the dopamine system (多巴胺系统) in our brain made us feel good about short-term success, like catching food, because it ensured survival. Today, this same system drives us to aim for victory in competitions—even when the results are meaningless. However, modern life is different. Today, while basic needs are no longer a big problem for us, we should learn to think clearly. Then how can we stop this kind of useless competition? First, we should know that we don’t need to win all the time to prove our value. Real growth means doing better than before, not better than others. Second, we should take a moment to ask ourselves, “Are we doing it because we truly enjoy it, or just because we are afraid to be left behind?” Another important point is to aim for meaningful goals, not just to win. Focus on what truly matters, and feel peace in your heart—that is how we find real happiness. So next time you feel pressured to “stand up”, just because others do, ask yourself: Is this really the best choice for me? 46. The writer probably agrees that ________. A. following others is a safe way to avoid making wrong choices B. it is smart and helpful to stop and think before joining in a competition C. winning against others in competitions is a good way to show your value D. the dopamine system encourages beneficial competitions in modern society 47. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To introduce research findings on over-competition. B. To explain how the theater effect stops personal growth. C. To advise readers to make choices that truly suit themselves. D. To encourage people to care less about short-term success nowadays. 【答案】46. B 47. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了“剧场效应”（theater effect）这一现象——人们即使在竞争无必要时也难以停止，通过斯坦福大学的实验和人类进化本能解释其成因，并建议读者摆脱无意义竞争，做出真正适合自己的选择。 【46题详解】 第五段明确提出作者的核心建议：“Second, we should take a moment to ask ourselves, ‘Are we doing it because we truly enjoy it, or just because we are afraid to be left behind?’” 这直接表明作者认为在加入竞争前停下来思考是明智且有帮助的，与选项B“it is smart and helpful to stop and think before joining in a competition”完全一致。 【47题详解】 第四到六段集中体现作者的写作目的：第四五段强调“we should learn to think clearly”“aim for meaningful goals, not just to win”，第六段总结“ask yourself: Is this really the best choice for me?” 全文通过分析“剧场效应”的成因，最终落脚于建议读者摆脱无意义竞争，做出真正适合自己的选择，对应选项C“To advise readers to make choices that truly suit themselves”。 （二） 48. 阅读下面情境，结合文章，帮助 Emily 分析问题并给出具体建议。 Emily is a middle school student. Her class needed to work in groups and give a short report for a grade. The teacher said a simple talk with clear ideas would be enough, and that using a PowerPoint didn’t mean they would get a better grade. Emily’s group planned to just speak. But the first group used a PowerPoint with videos and music to make their report perfect, and the second group followed. After that, Emily’s group felt they had to do more, too. They didn’t want others to think they were lazy or bad. So they spent extra time preparing and used PowerPoint to make a better report with music and pictures. In the end, all the groups did extra work, but the grades were still based on simple speaking. Emily felt tired and unsure if it was worth it. What was the problem with Emily’s group? What do you advise them to do? Give at least two suggestions. _________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Problem: Emily’s group was influenced by the theater effect. They followed other groups to spend extra time making a PowerPoint with music and pictures, even though the teacher said the grade was based on simple speaking with clear ideas, which made them feel tired and the work was not valuable. Suggestions: 1. They should focus on the core requirement of the task, which is to organize clear ideas for the speech instead of comparing with other groups on the form of the report. 2. They can make a clear plan for the task at first, clarify that the content of the speech is the most important part, and avoid doing unnecessary extra work. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了中学生艾米丽所在的小组在课堂报告任务中，因受其他小组影响而违背老师的建议多做额外工作，最终感到疲惫和困惑的故事，要求分析问题并提出建议。 【详解】分析艾米丽小组遇到的问题。根据文章第二段“They didn’t want others to think they were lazy or bad.他们不想让别人认为他们懒惰或糟糕。”可知，他们过于在意他人看法，产生了同伴压力。根据文章第三段“In the end, all the groups did extra work, but the grades were still based on simple speaking. 最后，所有小组都做了额外的工作，但评分仍然基于简单的演讲。”可知，他们做了无用功，违背了老师的初衷。故艾米丽小组遇到的问题是盲目跟风和做了不必要的工作。 针对问题给出具体建议。根据文章第一段“The teacher said a simple talk with clear ideas would be enough”可知，首先应建议艾米丽认清演讲的内容本身才是重点；根据第三段“In the end, all the groups did extra work, but the grades were still based on simple speaking. Emily felt tired and unsure if it was worth it.”可知，可以建议艾米丽避免做额外不必要的工作。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 北京三帆中学 2024—2025 学年度第二学期期末质量监测 八年级 英语 考生须知 1. 本试卷共 12 页，十大题，60 小题，作答时长 100 分钟，满分 100 分。 2. 在试卷和答题卡上准确填写班级、姓名、学号。 3. 试题答案一律填涂填写在答题卡上，在试卷上作答无效。 4. 考试结束后，请将资料一并交回。 听力理解（共 20 分） 一、听对话或独白，根据对话或独白的内容，从下面各题所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选择最佳选项。每段对话或独白你将听两遍。(共 12 分，每题 1.5 分) 请听一段对话，回答第 1 至第 2 小题。 1.

But my speed gave me an advantage in games. When we were 15, we were proud to join the Springtown Stars which was the best under-17 team in our area. There was another team called the Springtown Asteroids. They trained just as hard as us, but didn’t play in important matches very often. One day, the coach put up the new season’s team list. My finger was shaking as I looked for my name. Zac’s name was on the list, but mine wasn’t. I said to myself, “There must be a mistake!” I felt heartbroken and couldn’t believe I had been left out. Being on the Asteroids made me feel like I was falling behind. After joining the Asteroids, I was really angry. I kicked the ball hard and didn’t care when my teammates passed the ball to me. Every time Zac waved at me, I just turned around. I was so upset. Everything changed during a Saturday match. The Stars were playing against Riverside United. I hid behind the stands and watched. They worked together so well. Zac could stop those passes that I couldn’t. Then I remembered that while I was busy getting angry, Zac was practicing free kicks every Tuesday and Thursday. When the game ended, I waited at the exit, I said to Zac, “Your winning kick in the second half was so cool!” and I put up my hand. He gave me a high-five, which made me feel warm inside. He said excitedly, “Coach said you’re getting much better now. If you keep training hard, we’ll be teammates again.” That night, I made a new plan and stuck it on my wall: more practice, more time. I realized being on the Asteroids was not a punishment. It was a chance for me to grow. I’ve learned that getting angry won’t help you succeed. True success comes from continuous effort, not just wishful thinking or expecting things to fall into place without hard work. 24. Why did the writer feel heartbroken? A. Because he wasn’t taller and stronger than Zac. B. Because his name was not on the Stars’ list. C. Because there was a mistake in the Stars’ list. D. Because the Asteroids trained even harder. 25. Where did the writer watch the match between the Stars and Riverside United? A. On the field with the players. B. In the locker room. C. Behind the stands. D. At home on TV. 26. What did the writer decide to do after talking with Zac? A. Stop playing football with Zac. B. Practice more and work harder. C. Try to join another football team. D. Ask for a chance to join the Stars. 27. What does the story mainly want to tell us? A. Teammates playing against each other can harm their friendship. B. Natural talent is more important than practice in football. C. Being on a less popular team results in fewer chances. D. Success comes from hard work and continuous effort. C First impressions can be powerful. In less than a second, we can tell if they are honest and attractive. We may also decide what kind of people they are. The appearance of people generally leads to certain common assumptions (假定). We also know that these assumptions can influence real-life behaviors. Physically attractive people generally get more good comments (评价) than less attractive people, Marine Rougier, a researcher in Belgium, said. In scientific circles, this is known as the “halo effect”, and it shows that people usually think that attractive people have better personality. But in today’s digital age, first impressions are often formed online, where photos can be changed using digital tools like filters (滤镜). So, can we still trust our first impressions when images (图像) can be so easily changed? In a recent study, Rougier and her colleague, Jan De Houwer, showed participants (参与者) photos of people with different levels of charm. Participants formed first impressions, but then were told that the photos might have been edited (修图) to make the people look more or less beautiful. Surprisingly, even after knowing this, participants still kept their first impressions. But in a following study, when participants were shown how easy it is to edit photos, they were much more likely to change their minds. This “halo-update effect” shows that first impressions are malleable. For example, if someone seems confident and social at first because of their charm, people may think they’re less confident when they find out that the person’s photo was edited. What does this mean for us? It suggests that we can challenge first impressions with new information. So, if you’ve ever worried about leaving a bad first impression, don’t be too nervous—people’s opinions can change. Just be careful with editing your photos too much, as it could let others form an overly positive opinion of your personal or professional image. This research also tells us that looks aren’t everything, and people’s understanding of us can keep changing over time. Whether online or in person, the chance to change someone’s first impression is always there. 28. Which of the following is true about “halo effect”? A. It means people with good looks usually get more good comments. B. It shows physically attractive people have a perfect personality in real life. C. It only happens in Belgium and has nothing to do with other countries. D. It makes people think attractive people are good at all the skills. 29. What can you learn from the study in Paragraph 4? A. Participants formed their first impressions by reading different types of comments. B. Digital tools like filters played a key role in changing participants’ opinions. C. First impressions were the same after participants knew the photos might be edited. D. Knowing why the images were improved made many participants change minds. 30. What does the underlined word “malleable” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. wrong. B. important. C. meaningful. D. changeable. 31. What’s the passage mainly about? A. How first impressions can be changed in the digital age. B. Why we form different impressions on the same person. C. The power of halo effect on leaving a good impression. D. The importance of changing people’s first impressions. 六、（共 10 分，每题 2 分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Have you ever felt like studying is a bit boring but watching someone else study makes you want to join in? You’re not alone. “Study with Me” is a new way you can try. The basic idea behind it is that watching someone else study motivates (激励) us to do the same. “Study with Me” is a kind of live broadcast (直播) on the Internet showing real-time scenes of someone studying. The videos are often silent or include soft background music. It creates a sense of companionship (陪伴) for the viewers and provides shared focus, a common experience and a feeling of community and togetherness. Studying together can make the learning process more enjoyable and effective, leading to the rising popularity of the study broadcast. More and more students around the world find it interesting. So, why does watching someone else study make us want to study too? Scientists explain that it’s a human’s natural habit. When we watch someone else study, we are likely to copy the habits of those around us, like following their note-taking skills and break routines, which is called mimicry (模仿). Moreover, we have the need for social support. People on the screen are like our secret study partners. When we see them working hard on the screen, we might feel that we are part of a team. It can help us keep going through our own difficulties. “Study with Me” can be helpful, but there are a few things to keep in mind. First, we should set clear study goals before joining online study partners because it can help us stay focused on our own work. Besides, it’s important not to depend on it too much because true motivation should come from within. Lastly, we’d better stick to learning with people who have well-organized study plans. As we move further into the digital age, ways of learning are always changing, offering exciting new learning experiences. “Study with Me” is a great example to create global connections and encourage students to enjoy the learning journey through focus, fun and friendship. 32.

In an office one might stay late on a project, and other workers feel pressured to also stay late to avoid looking lazy. On social media, one friend’s perfect vacation photos can make others feel they must also post perfect pictures. These situations all come from a problem called the theater effect, which explains why people find it hard to stop competing, even when it is unnecessary. The theater effect happens when one person tries to do better, forcing others to follow. In the end, everyone works harder, but no one truly benefits. Imagine watching a movie—if the people in front stand up, those behind must stand too. Finally, everyone is standing, but the view remains the same. A well-known experiment at Stanford University tested this idea. Researchers invited 200 people to bid (竞标) for a $100 bill under special rules: the highest bidder wins the bill but must pay their bid, and the second-highest bidder also pays their bid(but wins nothing). At first, bids were small but as the price neared 100, people refused to stop. Some even bid more than $100 just to avoid losing their earlier bids. This behavior shows that once competition begins, people realize that it’s hard to stop competing, even when it no longer makes sense. The theater effect comes from early human survival instincts (本能). Back then, the dopamine system (多巴胺系统) in our brain made us feel good about short-term success, like catching food, because it ensured survival. Today, this same system drives us to aim for victory in competitions—even when the results are meaningless. However, modern life is different. Today, while basic needs are no longer a big problem for us, we should learn to think clearly. Then how can we stop this kind of useless competition? First, we should know that we don’t need to win all the time to prove our value. Real growth means doing better than before, not better than others. Second, we should take a moment to ask ourselves, “Are we doing it because we truly enjoy it, or just because we are afraid to be left behind?” Another important point is to aim for meaningful goals, not just to win. Focus on what truly matters, and feel peace in your heart—that is how we find real happiness. So next time you feel pressured to “stand up”, just because others do, ask yourself: Is this really the best choice for me? 46. The writer probably agrees that ________. A. following others is a safe way to avoid making wrong choices B. it is smart and helpful to stop and think before joining in a competition C. winning against others in competitions is a good way to show your value D. the dopamine system encourages beneficial competitions in modern society 47. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To introduce research findings on over-competition. B. To explain how the theater effect stops personal growth. C. To advise readers to make choices that truly suit themselves. D. To encourage people to care less about short-term success nowadays. （二） 48. 阅读下面情境，结合文章，帮助 Emily 分析问题并给出具体建议。 Emily is a middle school student. Her class needed to work in groups and give a short report for a grade. The teacher said a simple talk with clear ideas would be enough, and that using a PowerPoint didn’t mean they would get a better grade. Emily’s group planned to just speak. But the first group used a PowerPoint with videos and music to make their report perfect, and the second group followed. After that, Emily’s group felt they had to do more, too. They didn’t want others to think they were lazy or bad. So they spent extra time preparing and used PowerPoint to make a better report with music and pictures. In the end, all the groups did extra work, but the grades were still based on simple speaking. Emily felt tired and unsure if it was worth it. What was the problem with Emily’s group? What do you advise them to do? Give at least two suggestions. _________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
