Last month, our class held a book donation activity. Many of us brought our old books to school. I gave away ten storybooks that I had read before. We collected over 200 books and sent them to a village school. When I saw the children’s happy faces in the thank-you letter, I felt very glad. Sharing books with others is really meaningful. Besides, I often help my elderly neighbour, Mrs Wang, carry her heavy bags. She lives alone and sometimes feels lonely. Last Sunday, I spent an hour talking with her and reading newspapers to her. She held my hands and said, “You are so kind.” Her warm words made me feel good. These small acts of kindness not only help others but also make the world a warmer, greener place. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025~2026学年度第二学期试卷 八年级英语 注意事项 答题前请认真阅读本注意事项： 1．本试卷分第一卷和第二卷两部分。共12页。满分120分。时间120分钟。结束后将答题卡交回。 2．答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、学号用0.5毫米黑色字迹的签字笔填写在答题卡上指定的位置。 3．答案必须按要求填涂、书写在答题卡上。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再正确填涂该答案。 第Ⅰ卷（选择题 共55分） 第Ⅰ卷共40小题，请将答案按要求填涂在答题卡上。 一、单项选择（本题共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。 1.

The children there all suffer from serious diseases like cancer. Some of them were very sad. We wanted to cheer them up with some fun activities. For example, we organized a painting match to raise their spirits. I met a girl called Jin Ya. She wanted to paint a picture of the park near her home. However, she could not go there herself, so I went to the park and took some photos. Jin Ya used them for her painting. Wang Jie yesterday My mother and I met some children with no parents. The children were quiet and unhappy. We encouraged them to tell stories from their own life. This helps them express their feelings. One child said, “My friends don’t understand my pain. Sometimes I feel like I don’t belong anywhere.” We spent time with a girl called Liu Yun. Her parents died in a car accident, so she is very lonely. She is really unhappy and needs someone to talk to. My mother and I will continue to visit Liu Yun in our spare time. Ding Ling 3 days ago I volunteered to help disabled children. Some of them have difficulty moving around and taking part in social activities. I taught them to sing because music can bring them joy. I met a boy called Su Le. He lost his leg in an accident two months ago. Football is his favourite sport, and he was in low spirits because he could not play it any more. We can help children like Su Le feel more positive after an accident. I will continue to do voluntary work in the future. 21. What did Dong Lili do to help Jin Ya with her painting? A.

I was a little lonely at first, but I’m starting to make some friends. They helped me to learn more about the customs (习俗) here after I had some embarrassing (令人尴尬的) experiences at a party last month. I’d like to share some tips with you. First, you shouldn’t arrive early to a party. It’s normal to be on time or a few minutes late, But arriving early can cause problems. Once, I arrived 10 minutes early to a party. Usually that’s the polite thing to do, right? But my friend looked so surprised to see me! He was still getting everything ready. Second, it’s important to bring a gift when you visit someone. When I attended my friend’s party, I didn’t bring anything. It wasn’t his birthday, but everyone else brought gifts like chocolates or flowers to thank him for the party. I was so embarrassed! Third, you should always try to dress for the occasion. At that party it was surprising to see how nicely everyone was dressed. It was summer, so I was just wearing a simple blouse and shorts. But everyone else was dressed so well that I felt silly. Fourth, it’s best not to ask private questions unless you know the person well. They don’t like it when others ask them about their age, their family, whether they are married, or how much money they make. Food and culture, however, are safe conversation topics. Last but not least, make sure you use French whenever you can. Lots of people speak English here, but you can develop closer relationships with them if you use French. It’s very important in their culture. I found that even a simple “merci” goes a long way! You’ll see what I mean as soon as you get here! Au revoir! Nancy 24. What can we infer (推断) from Paragraph 2? A. French people dislike guests who come on time. B. The writer thinks arriving late usually causes problems. C. Arriving early may make the host uncomfortable in France. D. The French host usually prepares everything well before the party. 25. What made Nancy feel embarrassed at the party? ① She didn’t bring a gift. ② She arrived 10 minutes early. ③ She asked personal questions. ④ She wore a simple blouse and shorts. A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ D. ①②④ 26. What does the underlined word “private” in the passage mean? A. Normal. B. Secret. C. Modest. D. Certain. 27. What does Nancy mainly want to share? A. Bringing small gifts is a must when we are invited to a French party. B. Spending time practising French is the key to making friends in Paris. C. Learning about local customs can help us fit in well in a foreign country. D. French people pay more attention to their looks than people in other countries. C ① Imagine your body becoming a small power station, with the heat from your wrist making your smartwatch work. ② Chinese scientists are trying hard to make this great idea come true. They recently have made a new kind of thin plastic material, for example, the new plastic film (薄膜). It can change heat energy into electric energy. This new material can use heat from human bodies, sunlight or car engines to make electricity. ③ Smart tools such as smartwatches and sports bracelets (手环) need to be charged (充电) very often. For a long time, scientists have wanted to use body heat to power these tools. In this way, people do not need to find chargers every day. ④ This new material works because of a special physical rule. When one side of the material is hotter than the other side, small tiny parts inside will move fast and create electricity. ⑤ A scientist from the Chinese Academy of Sciences said that good heat-electric materials have a big problem. These materials must slow down the speed of heat moving, but they also need to let electric energy move freely and quickly. ⑥ After many years of study and tests, the scientist’s team created a thin plastic sheet with many small holes of different sizes. This special structure can slow down heat movement and allow electric parts to pass through easily. The scientist explained this in a simple way: “The small holes are like high mountains that stop heat from moving fast. The narrow paths inside are like wide roads for electric parts to run through.” ⑦ Many tests show that a small piece of this plastic on human skin can create small electric pressure (电压). In the future, bigger pieces of this material can provide power for smart wearable tools on people’s bodies. The scientist also said this special plastic can be made in large numbers. Maybe one day, the heat from our own bodies will become a new kind of clean and green energy for daily use. 28. Which of the following heat sources can the new plastic film make use of? A. Wind energy and sunlight. B. Body heat and wind energy. C. Water power and body heat. D. Car engine heat and sunlight. 29. What problem of traditional heat-electric materials does the new film solve? A. It is too thin to be put on human bodies. B. It cannot create small tiny parts inside at all. C. It produces too much electric pressure in daily tests. D. Heat passes too fast while electricity cannot flow smoothly. 30. Which is the correct structure of the passage? A.① / ②③④⑤⑥ / ⑦ B.①② / ③④⑤ / ⑥⑦ C.①②③ / ④⑤⑥ / ⑦ D.① / ②③④ / ⑤⑥⑦ 31. What is the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the future of body heat energy? A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Bored. D. Worried. D Miss Martha owned a small bakery (面包店). She was forty, a kind woman with a big imagination. She was always curious about the customers stepping into her little shop, wondering about their daily lives and hidden stories. One customer made her very curious. Wearing simple but tidy old-fashioned clothes and a pair of glasses, he visited the bakery twice every single week. Without exception, he only bought two loaves of hard bread each time, never looking at her mouth-watering fruit pies or freshly-baked creamy cakes. Miss Martha jumped to the conclusion that he must be a poor, hungry artist. She imagined him living in a very small, cheap room, thinking only about his painting so much that he forgot to eat. The idea touched her kind heart. She began to wish she could help him. The next time he came to the shop, she acted quickly while his back was turned. She took two hard loaves, made a small hole in each, and put a large piece of fresh butter inside. Then she wrapped them up as usual. Her heart beat fast as she handed him the bread. She spent the rest of the day dreaming that he would discover her kindness and thank her. Suddenly, the quiet of the afternoon was broken. The shop door flew open, and the man stormed in. His face was dark with anger. He threw the bread down hard on the table. “I am an architect (建筑师)!” he shouted. “For the past three months, I have been working on a building plan. I draw in pencil, and I use pieces of hard bread as erasers. It works better than a rubber eraser! But now… look!” He held up his drawing. A huge, dirty mark from the butter ran across the clean, straight lines. “You filled my bread with butter!” he shouted. “My work is damaged!” 32. What does the first paragraph introduce? A. The meaning of the story. B. The theme of the story. C. The background of the story. D. The surprise of the story. 33. Why did Miss Martha put butter in the man’s bread? A. To make her bakery famous. B. To show her love for the man. C. To improve the man’s work. D. To make the bread expensive. 34. What’s the correct time order of the following events? ① The man went to the shop angrily. ② Miss Martha was curious about the man. ③ The man began to work on a building plan. ④ The man tried to erase lines with the bread that had butter inside. A. ②④①③ B. ③②④① C. ③④②① D. ②③④① 35. What might Miss Martha realize in the end? A. Good actions need real understanding first. B. People had better try to make perfect plans. C. You should avoid offering help to strangers. D. It’s impolite to ask about other people’s lives. 第二节（本题共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Several students came to their teacher, asking for advice about making choices.

Even readers who live abroad show great (56) i ▲ in this classic Chinese poem. This poem shows the deep wish for love and the (57) s ▲ of a hopeless search. The mood in the poem also shows the spirit of the Chinese character “游”. The earliest form of “游” was (58) f ▲ on oracle bones (甲骨文) over 3,000 years ago. It was a simple picture: a child holding a flag. At first, it meant the fluttering tassels (流苏) of flags in the wind. Later, the “氵” radical (偏旁) was added to this character, and its meaning grew richer and richer (59) s ▲ . Today, it refers not only to “swimming” but also to bodies of water, like parts of the Yellow River. Over time, “游” came to mean travel on land too. Phrases like “游牧” show this new use. Young people who leave home are always in their families’ hearts, no matter (60) w ▲ they go. The character also speaks of fun and exploration.

You can travel to places you can’t visit actually in daily life. With imagination, you can (63) e ▲ travel into space in your mind. Many people love travelling to relax and enjoy (64) t ▲ .
