八年级英语素养展示 一、阅读理解（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） A One rainy afternoon, I was driving home alone when I saw an old man standing by the roadside. He looked worried and wet. His car had broken down and he had no idea what to do. Without thinking twice, I stopped my car and offered to help him. It took me nearly an hour to get his car running again. The old man was so thankful that he pulled out his wallet and wanted to give me some money. I refused politely. “Just pass the kindness on,” I told him. “When you see someone in trouble someday, please give them a hand.” He nodded with a big smile and drove away. A few days later, I went to a busy cafe to have lunch. After ordering my food, I found I had left my wallet at home. I felt so embarrassed and didn’t know how to explain it to the waiter. Just as I was about to leave, a young lady sitting next to me stopped me. She paid for my meal without asking for anything in return. I was surprised and asked why she did that. She told me a story. On a rainy day, an old man helped her fix her bike on her way to work. He didn’t accept any payment, but told her to keep spreading kindness. “I’m just doing what I was told,” she said warmly. At that moment, I realized kindness was like a chain. It travels from one person to another quietly. We may never know where it starts or where it ends, but small acts of love can go far and warm the whole world. 1. Why did the old man stand by the roadside? A. He wanted to ask for a lift. B. His car didn’t work. C. He was waiting for his friend. 2. What did the writer do to the old man? A. He gave him some money. B. He helped repair his car. C. He shared an umbrella with him. 3. What did the writer ask the old man to do? A. To help others later. B. To remember his name. C. To buy him a meal. 4. What happened to the writer in the cafe? A. He lost his keys. B. He forgot to take his wallet. C. He argued with the waiter. 5. What is the main idea of the passage? A. We should always help elderly people. B. Kindness can pass from person to person. C. It is dangerous to drive on rainy days. B Many people think that helping others is just doing good things for free. But for most volunteers, it is a special journey full of growth. Last summer vacation, my friends and I took part in a volunteer program to help kids in a mountain village. The village was far away and the roads were not smooth. It took us three hours to get there. The local children lived a simple life and some of them had no extra money to buy storybooks or stationery. Before we set off, we collected lots of books, pens and notebooks from our schoolmates. During the days we stayed there, we divided ourselves into small groups. Some of us taught the kids English and math; some organized interesting games to cheer them up. I was in charge of telling stories and drawing pictures with the younger kids. They were quiet and shy at first, but soon they laughed and played happily with us. We only stayed there for a week, but the experience left a deep impression on all of us. We used to complain about our busy life and strict parents. After seeing those hard-working kids, we realized how lucky we were. Helping others makes us understand the true meaning of happiness. We have decided to keep on doing such volunteer work in the future. 6. Where did the writer go as a volunteer last summer vacation? A. An old people’s home B. A mountain village C. A city community 7. What did they take to the children? A. Clothes and food B. Books and school things C. Toys and balls 8. What can we learn about the local kids? A. They were outgoing and talkative all the time. B. They had enough stationery to use. C. They were shy when they first met the volunteers. 9. Why did the writer change his idea about life? A. He found the village life was fun. B. He learned to value his own life after seeing the kids. C. He wanted to live in the mountain village. 10. What is the best title for the passage? A. A Meaningful Volunteer Trip B. Poor Kids in Mountain Villages C. How to Be a Good Student C Amber is a special kind of fossil formed by ancient plant resin (树脂). For thousands or even millions of years, it has kept the secrets of nature well. Looking at a piece of amber is just like opening a window to the distant past. Long long ago, many kinds of pine and fir trees produced thick, sticky resin. When the weather was hot, the resin flowed down the tree trunks slowly. Sometimes small insects, tiny leaves or thin flower petals would get stuck in the soft resin. As time went by, more resin covered them completely. Later, the trees fell down and were buried under soil and stones. After millions of years of great pressure and chemical changes, the soft resin finally turned into hard, clear amber. Most amber looks yellow or light brown. Inside it, the small creatures and plant parts remain almost the same as they were long ago. Scientists love studying amber very much. From these natural treasures, they can learn about what plants grew and what insects lived on the Earth millions of years ago. It is hard for us to get such clear and complete information from other fossils. However, real wild amber is not easy to find today. People cut down too many ancient trees and damage natural environments. The places where amber forms are also being destroyed. Now more and more people have realized the problem. They are trying their best to protect forests and wild plants, so that nature can keep recording its wonderful stories for future generations. Amber is not just a beautiful stone. It is a silent historian of nature. Every small thing inside it tells us how our planet changed step by step. If we want to keep these timeless secrets alive, protecting nature is always the most important thing for all of us. 11. What is amber made from? A. Ancient tree resin. B. Hard stones in the forest. C. Dry wood and dead leaves. 12. What may be trapped inside amber according to the passage? A. Big wild animals. B. Insects and plant parts. C. Different kinds of fruits. 13. Why do scientists study amber? A. To make beautiful handicrafts. B. To know about ancient plants and insects. C. To find more valuable stones underground. 14. Which of the following is TRUE? A. Amber usually appears in bright red. B. It takes hundreds of years to form amber. C. Amber helps people learn about ancient nature clearly. 15. The underlined word “timeless” in the last paragraph means ________. A. 短暂的 B. 永恒的 C. 虚假的 D Mencius said that nothing can be done without norms or standards. The same applies to a class. ____16____ Some teachers choose to invite their students to make the classroom rules together. ____17____ When students work together with teachers to make a list of rules, they can feel that teachers respect their opinions.

Why do they do that? B. It’s also important to pay attention to the words. C. After the discussion, each group of students will show their ideas. D. For example, the teacher can list something like “Kindness” or “Respect”. E. Last but not least, make the list as long as possible. F. How can we make a list of perfect classroom rules? 二、完形填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） Five-year-old Leah sat in the waiting room of Sunshine Hospital, feeling bored and lonely. She’d been coming here ____21____ she was a baby, fighting a serious illness that often left her in pain. “Excuse me,” she said softly to a nurse, “may I have a purple crayon? I want to colour this butterfly.” The nurse’s face fell. “I’m sorry, dear,” she replied, “but we don’t have any left. You’ll have to draw a grey butterfly instead.” A grey butterfly? That felt like ____22____ hope. She knew the hospital provided colouring books for young patients, but there were never enough crayons. Why? She soon learned the answer: crayons could carry germs and spread diseases, so they could only be used once. After that, they were thrown away.

It is running around, looking for its next meal. With an angry cry, it opens its mouth, raises its beautiful feather-covered arms, and... 2 Wait, feathers on a dinosaur? For hundreds of years, people believed that dinosaurs looked like huge lizards. Just look at all those dinosaurs in books, films and TV shows! However, thanks to a piece of amber, scientists now know that this idea is wrong. In the amber from Southeast Asia, they found the tail of a dinosaur with feathers. 3 These beautiful golden stones quietly keep pieces of the past. They can tell us dinosaurs had feathers. They also help us understand that life on earth has always changed. A piece of amber from Northern Europe, for example, holds a flower. This species no longer grows in this area. But the find proves that it did 35 million years ago. In the future, amber may also help us discover if other species have changed over time. 4 Thanks to amber, more than 300 unknown species have been discovered. In a piece of amber from Africa, scientists found 13 ants. Research shows that they are a completely new species. Scientists used to believe that ants came from the northern half of the earth. The discovery of this African species has changed old beliefs about the history of ants. Who knows whether this piece of amber will tell us more secrets? 5 As a window on the past, amber has been much studied. However, it’s still not fully understood. We should put more effort into research. Then we can use this key to unlock more secrets of nature. 56. Fill in the blank with proper words for the title. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 57. According to Para 3, when did the species of flower grow in Northern Europe? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 58. What has helped discover over 300 unknown species? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 59. In Paragraph 4 the word “old beliefs” in the passage means ________. (请用中文作答) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 60. Why do you think amber is very useful in studying ancient life? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 五、写作（满分15分） 61.
