I am writing to recommend myself for the “Top Ten Teenager” award. First of all, volunteering is a great chance for teenagers to show responsibility, including helping at school, serving communities and joining charities. It lies in lasting care for people rather than amazing achievements, which fits the activity’s spirit well. Secondly, I have volunteered for two years. I help slow-learning classmates at school, visit lonely elders on weekends and donate books to children in mountain areas. Their smiles always fill me with pride. Thirdly, this selection drives me to keep spreading warmth. If I win, I will invite more classmates to volunteer. Even if I don’t, I will stick to voluntary work and grow into a caring teen. I sincerely hope you can consider me.

After a whole week of heavy rain,a comfortable summer day 37 arrived,which made everyone eager to go outside.My family were driving to a nearby town when my daughter found a yard sale,kind of traditional activity about selling and buying 38 things.There,a set of toys for children,several violins that were likely for 39 lovers,huge piles of clothes,and a piece or two of furniture for sale.Best of all,in the front yard,smiling people sat,stood,chatted,and laughed under the sunshine-a 40 that I found truly heartwarming. When I saw all this,I realized that memories of my childhood 41.My mum,an experienced yard sale shopper,used to buy most ofmy clothes that way.Back then,I hated going with her-42 the day I discovered that they also sold old books there.From then on,something 43.Sitting right on the grass,lost in a story far away from old cups and used shoes,I would read until it was time to 44,and sometimes my mum would buy me one.Soon a large part of my home 45 came from those yard sale books. And a question comes into my mind.46 do we hold yard sales?We throw away our old things and buy what we call"new"old ones.47,money isn't the purpose.Rather,what we truly show is love for the old. They are even more 48 than new ones. I've come to realize that a yard sale teaches a life lesson that we should never forget,and it also offers a simple way to 49 charity.We can't really have anything here.It is time to let it go and pass things on through this 50.We should remember what we receive can be given to those who need it most. 36.A.send B.sell C.save D.spread 37.A.finally B.specially C.quickly D.carefully 38.A.expensive B.cheap C.new D.old 39.A.music B.sport C.fashion D.animal 40.A.sense B.scene C.service D.sign 41.A.took away B.took apart C.brought back D.brought down 42.A.during B.until C.after D.near 43.A.stayed B.changed C.missed D.stopped 44.A.leave B.reply C.review D.join 45.A.shop B.cinema C.library D.bank 46.A.When B.Where C.How D.Why 47.A.Smoothly B.Clearly C.Closely D.Successfully 48.A.useless B.endless C.beautiful D.meaningful 49.A.check B.promise C.behave D.practice 50.A.activity B.celebration C.festival D.show 四、阅读理解（共5小题：每小题2分，计30分） 八年级英语试卷第3页（共8页） 阅读下列内容，从每小题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。 A DNA is a special part inside every cell )It tells the cell what to be-part of a human,an animal,or a plant.Here's a way to see your own DNA! What you'll need ◇A clear cup ◇A spoon◇Salt ◇Dish soa即（洗洁精） ◇Isopropyl alcohol(酒精) The most important!Ask adults to help deal with alcohol!!! What to do Put on your safety glasses-we're about to do some chemistry! Put a half spoon of salt into a glass half full of water. Take a mouthful of the saltwater and keep it in your mouth for a minute,but don't drink it. Pour the saltwater back into the glass.The mixture now has some cells from your mouth! *Add one drop of dish soap to the saltwater mixture and mix it gently.Try not to make bubbles. Next,ask an adult to slowly pour some drops of isopropyl alcohol down the side of the cup so that it sits on top of the salty soapy water.Don't shake. In about a minute you should see tiny white,thread-like things forming on the top of the alcohol. This is your DNA! This easy DIY experiment shows that we can uncover hidden scientific facts and get close to the truth by ourselves. 51.What are the correct steps of the"see your DNA"activity? ① ② ③ A.①⑤②③④ B.①②③⑤④ C.①②④⑤③ D.②④①③⑤ 52.What does your DNA look like in the cup?

When the sun rose,he saw only trees,rocks,sky,and the endless sea around him. “No one,.”he said out loud.“There is no one.. His voice disappeared into the wind,as if it had never appeared. Scene Two On the third day,he built a simple tent with tools he found from the wrecked ship.But at night,a storm came.The tent blew down,and rain poured in.He sat in a comner,wet and cold. “God,”he prayed for the first time,,“if you are real,let me die easily.” But he did not die The next morning,he dried his clothes and built it again. 八年级英语试卷第4页（共8页） Scene Three Years passed.He had a small cornfield,a kind of umbrella made from goatskin,and a shovel carved from wood.He stood on the highest point of the island,staring at the faraway line where the sky met the sea. No sail ever appeared there. "I know I may never go back,"he wrote in his diary."But I will not die today.And I will not die tomorrow." He gave the parrot a name. Scene Four One Friday morning,he saw a footprint in the sand-not his own. He hid behind a rock,holding his spear.His heart beat so hard he thought it would break. "You are not alone,"he said to himself. At that moment,he could not tell whether he was more afraid-or more relieved -Taken from Robinson Crusoe 54.How might Crusoe feel according to Scene One?

Just a few weeks ago,thousands of people gathered in Hong Kong and Shanghai for two of the latest HYROX,a fitness race for every one.You run one kilometer,then do a simple workout like pushing a heavy sled, rowing or carrying sandbags.You repeat this eight times.No superpower needed.No professional training required.Just a willing heart. Think of it like your school sports day and the Olympic Games,with volunteers and athletes working as one team. Take Leo,a 15-year-old volunteer.His job was handing out water cups at the finish line.At first,he felt small and nervous.He did not know anyone.But as tired runners came in,sweating and breathing hard,Leo handed them water and shouted"good job!"When they smiled and said"thanks,"Leo discovered something important:helping others succeed gives you a deep sense of self-worth.He also learned real skills that day- staying focused under pressure,speaking clearly when tired,and solving small problems quickly by himself. Athletes push through eight stations and eight runs with the help of volunteers like Leo.Their legs shake. Their lungs burn.Some stumble and keep going without looking back.A cold drink,a loud cheer,a clear direction -these small acts keep exhausted runners going.Athletes learn that true strength is not just about muscles.It is having the modesty to accept help from others and the grace to say thank you from the heart,even when you have no breath left to speak. Together,volunteers and athletes prove one simple truth:no one finishes alone.It is a living classroom where every cheer and water cup builds not just stronger bodies,but stronger communities.As founder Christian Toetzke looks to the future,his eyes shine with a bigger dream:"To see HYROX in the 2032 Brisbane Olympics..." 58.In each round of the HYROX race,what is the right order of activities? A.Do workouts-Run 1 kilometer B.Run 1 kilometer-Do workouts. C.Take a rest-Run 1 kilometer. D.Run 1 kilometer-Take a rest. 八年级英语试卷第5页（共8页） 59.How does the article help readers understand HYROX? (1By showing personal experiences ②By listing numbers (3By showing similar events ④By carrying out a study A.(1)(3 B.(2)3 C.③④ D.①④ 60.What can we infer from the article? A.Leo came to understand the meaning of HYROX. B.True power means having strong muscles and refusing help C.Leo shouted"good job"to the tired runners while volunteering D.Athletes need to finish eight stations but fewer than eight runs. 61.What might Christian Toetzke say after the ellipsis (...) A."...and any medal means more to me." B."...and to see HYROX brings the world together." C."..but honestly,I'm not sure if it will happen." D."..and I will train hard to compete in the Olympics." D Being bored is no fun,especially at work.Most people try to avoid it or see it as a waste of time.However,a recent study from the Research School of Management at the australian National University suggests that boredom may have an unexpected benefit. In the study,52 students were given a boring task of separating red beans from green ones for 30 minutes. This task was simple but required little thinking.Meanwhile,another group of 49 students was asked to create art projects using paper,beans,and glue-a more enjoyable and creative activity.Then both groups were asked to spend five minutes on a creative task,such as coming up with new uses for everyday objects.Surprisingly,the group that had performed the boring task produced more creative ideas than the group that had taken part in the art project. "Boredom is not necessarily terrible based on my research,says the study's leader,Guihyun Park.He explains that when people feel bored,they want to escape that state."People want to get out of a boring situation, so they tend to seek novelty(追求新奇)，which can bring out creativity.” For designers and anyone in a creative field,boredom is not something to fear,but to embrace.The famous author J.K.Rowling has shared how she would spend hours sitting on trains,letting her mind fly,and coming up with new ideas for her stories.This boredom allowed her to tap into her creativity and imagination,leading to one of the most beloved book series ever-Harry Potter. However,it's also worth noting that studies have found that not everyone experiences the same level of creative benefits from boredom.Park agrees that boredom really can be harmful to some important work."I would say at safety jobs where you need to be watchful all the time,like police or guards,boredom will keep your mind dreaming,which is really bad,"says Park. 62.What was the result of the study? A.Doing a boring task takes less time. B.Creative activities require little thinking. C.Doing a boring task may lead to more creative ideas. D.Creative activities help people keep thinking more actively. 63.The word"embrace"in the sentence"boredom is not something to fear,but to embrace"has the same meaning as that in A.Farmers embrace high tech to help them. B.She embraces her daughter warmly at goodbye. C.Arts embrace music,painting,literature.... D.The village is embraced by trees and flowers. 64.In the School Newspaper Club,four members(Leo,Mia,Tom and Emma)have different roles. According to the passage,who would benefit more from boredom? A.Leo-he checks facts and makes sure every detail is correct. B.Mia-she thinks of story ideas and designs the pages. C.Tom-he guards the printing room and watches the machine. D.Emma-she makes a timetable and tells the finishing time. 65.What's the best title of this article? A.The way of seeking novelty. B.A surprising power of boredom.

Millie's special glasses won a big prize in a famous student competition.She was very excited when she heard the good news.She said,"My dyslexia has always made reading a big challenge,so I wanted to invent something that could help people like me.I know how hard reading is for us,so I never gave up my idea." Now Millie is very happy about her invention.She hopes Rainbow Glasses can be put on the market.She wants all people with dyslexia to read easily and feel confident every day.She also tells other students that we should always help people around us and never be afraid of difficulties in life.If we keep trying,we can realize our dreams one day. 76.Where is Millie from? 77.How old was Millie when she first knew her problem? 78.How many colours can the lenses of the glasses change? 79.What does Millie hope? 80.What lesson can you get from Millie? 七、缺词填空（共10空；每空1分，计10分） When I was a child,my family lived in a small house.There was a piece of e81 land behind it.One day,my mother said,"Let's turn this land into a peanut garden."

"So you should be like peanuts,"he continued."Be m 89.Work hard.Help people around you.What matters is that you are useful to others. From then on,I realized that a person should try to be useful,not just run after good looks or p 90 from others.

I’d like to tell about my experience as an exchange student in Britain last year, it was my first time living abroad alone for such a long period. At first, many things were strange to me, such as the language, the food and the school life. My host parents, Mr and Misses Hurst, were very kind. They organized many activities for me so that I wouldn’t feel lonely and could make new friends more easily. However, life in the UK was not easy to get used to. My biggest problem was the language. People spoke very fast, and their everyday English is quite different from what we learned back home. Another difference was the food. My host family often had bread, potatoes and salad for meals. I really missed rice and dumplings from home. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $英语 回洛▣ 八年级英语答题卡 起 问架 姓名： 班级： 考场/座位号： 淮考证号 注意事项 0] [0] [0] [0] [o] [o] [0] [o] 1. 答题前请将姓名、班级、考场、准考证号填写清楚。 [1] [1] [1] [1] [1] [1] [1] [1] 客观题答题，必须使用2B铅笔填涂，修改时用橡皮擦干净。 [2] [2] [2] [2] [2] [2] [2] 3.主观题答题，必须使用黑色签字笔书写。 [3] [3] [3] [3] [3] [3] [3] [3] 4. 必须在题号对应的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写无效 [4] [4] [4] [4] [4] [4] [4] [4] 保持答卷清洁、完整。 [5] [5] [5] [5] [5] [ [5] [5] [6] 6] [6] [6] [6] [6] [6] [6] 正确填涂 缺考标记 口 [7] [7] [7] [7] [7] [] [7] [ [8] [8] [8] [8] [8] [8] [8] 8] [9] [9] [9] [9] [9] [9] [9] [9] 四、单选题(80分) 1[A][B][C] 6[A][B][C] 11[A][B][C] 16[A][B][C] 21[A][B][C][D] 2[A][B][C] 7[A][B][C] 12[A][B][C] 17[A][B][C] 22[A][B][C][D] 3[A][B][C] 8[A][B][C] 13[A][B][C] 18[A][B][C] 23[A][B][C][D] 4[A][B][C] 9[A][B][C] 14[A][B][c] 19[A][B][C] 24[A][B][c][D] 5[A][B][C] 10[A][B][C] 15[A][B][C] 20[A][B][C] 25[A][B][C][D] 26[A][B][c][D] 31[A][B][C][D]36[A][B][C][D] 41[A][B][c][D] 46[A][B][C][D] 27[A][B][C][D] 32[A][B][C][D]37[A][B][c][D]42[A][B][C][D] 47[A][B][C][D] 28[A][B][C][D] 33[A][B][C][D]38[A][B][C][D]43[A][B][C][D] 48[A][B][C][D] 29[A][B][C][D] 34[A][B][C][D]39[A][B][C][D] 44[A][B][C][D] 49[A][B][C][D] 30[A][B][C][D] 35[A][B][C][D]40[A][B][C][D] 45[A][B][C][D] 50[A][B][C][D] 51[A][B][C][D] 56[A][B][C][D]61[A][B][C][D] 52[A][B][C][D] 57[A][B][C][D]62[A][B][C][D] 53[A][B][C][D] 58[A][B][C][D]63[A][B][C][D] 54[A][B][C][D] 59[A][B][C][D]64[A][B][C][D] 55[A][B][C][D] 6O[A][B][C][D] 65[A][B][C][D] 五、 词汇运用（计10分）根据句子意思， 用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。（每空一词） 66 67 68 69 70. 71. 72. 73 74. 75. 六、 阅读表达（计10分） 76. 11. 78. 英语 79 80. 七、缺词填空（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。（每空一词） 81 82. 83. 84. 85 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 八、书面表达 A.根据所给汉语翻译下列句子，词数不限。（共5小题；每小题2分，计10分） 91. 92. 93 94. 95 B、写作(20分) Dear Chairman, I am Li Hua from Grade 8.I am writing to recommend myself for the "Top Ten Teenager"award.

Any stories behind it? After a whole week of heavy rain, a comfortable summer day 37 arrived, which made everyone eager to go outside. My family were driving to a nearby town when my daughter found a yard sale, kind of traditional activity about selling and buying 38 things. There, a set of toys for children, several violins that were likely for 39 lovers, huge piles of clothes, and a piece or two of furniture for sale. Best of all, in the front yard, smiling people sat, stood, chatted, and laughed under the sunshine — a 40 that I found truly heartwarming. When I saw all this, I realized that memories of my childhood 41 . My mum, an experienced yard sale shopper, used to buy most of my clothes that way. Back then, I hated going with her — 42 the day I discovered that they also sold old books there. From then on, something 43 . Sitting right on the grass, lost in a story far away from old cups and used shoes, I would read until it was time to 44 , and sometimes my mum would buy me one. Soon a large part of my home 45 came from those yard sale books. And a question comes into my mind. 46 do we hold yard sales? We throw away our old things and buy what we call “new” old ones. 47 , money isn’t the purpose. Rather, what we truly show is love for the old. They are even more 48 than new ones. I’ve come to realize that a yard sale teaches a life lesson that we should never forget, and it also offers a simple way to 49 charity. We can’t really have anything here. It is time to let it go and pass things on through this 50 . We should remember what we receive can be given to those who need it most. 36. A. send B. sell C. save D. spread 37. A. finally B. specially C. quickly D. carefully 38. A. expensive B. cheap C. new D. old 39. A. music B. sport C. fashion D. animal 40. A. sense B. scene C. service D. sign 41. A. took away B. took apart C. brought back D. brought down 42. A. during B. until C. after D. near 43. A. stayed B. changed C. missed D. stopped 44. A. leave B. reply C. review D. join 45.

It tells the cell what to be—part of a human, an animal, or a plant. Here’s a way to see your own DNA! What you’ll need ◈A clear cup ◈A spoon ◈Salt ◈Dish soap (洗洁精) ◈Isopropyl alcohol (酒精) The most important! Ask adults to help deal with alcohol!!! What to do Put on your safety glasses-we’re about to do some chemistry! ❖ Put a half spoon of salt into a glass half full of water. ❖ Take a mouthful of the saltwater and keep it in your mouth for a minute, but don’t drink it. ❖ Pour the saltwater back into the glass. The mixture now has some cells from your mouth! ❖ Add one drop of dish soap to the saltwater mixture and mix it gently. Try not to make bubbles. ❖ Next, ask an adult to slowly pour some drops of isopropyl alcohol down the side of the cup so that it sits on top of the salty soapy water. Don’t shake. ❖ In about a minute you should see tiny white, thread-like things forming on the top of the alcohol. This is your DNA! This easy DIY experiment shows that we can uncover hidden scientific facts and get close to the truth by ourselves. 51. What are the correct steps of the “see your DNA” activity? ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ A. ①⑤②③④ B. ①②③⑤④ C. ①②④⑤③ D. ②④①③⑤ 52. What does your DNA look like in the cup? A. Soapy water. B. Yellow bubbles. C. Clear water. D. White thin lines. 53. What does the activity teach us? A. Kitchen activities are just for fun. B. Leave science to excellent researchers. C. Explore truth through hands-on activities. D. Truth can only be found in books or labs. B （Crusoe is alone on a lonely island, fighting against loneliness and despair, and finally finding a reason to live.） Scene One The waves threw Robinson Crusoe onto the sand like a useless thing. He lay there, his mouth full of sand and salt water. When the sun rose, he saw only trees, rocks, sky, and the endless sea around him. “No one,” he said out loud. “There is no one.” His voice disappeared into the wind, as if it had never appeared. Scene Two On the third day, he built a simple tent with tools he found from the wrecked ship. But at night, a storm came. The tent blew down, and rain poured in. He sat in a corner, wet and cold. “God,” he prayed for the first time, “if you are real, let me die easily.” But he did not die. The next morning, he dried his clothes and built it again. Scene Three Years passed. He had a small cornfield, a kind of umbrella made from goatskin, and a shovel carved from wood. He stood on the highest point of the island, staring at the faraway line where the sky met the sea. No sail ever appeared there. “I know I may never go back,” he wrote in his diary. “But I will not die today. And I will not die tomorrow.” He gave the parrot a name. Scene Four One Friday morning, he saw a footprint in the sand — not his own. He hid behind a rock, holding his spear. His heart beat so hard he thought it would break. “You are not alone,” he said to himself. At that moment, he could not tell whether he was more afraid — or more relieved —Taken from Robinson Crusoe 54. How might Crusoe feel according to Scene One? A. Excited. B. Calm. C. Angry. D. Hopeless. 55. What does “it” in Scene Two refer to? A. The tent. B. The ship. C. The storm. D. The tool. 56. Each following picture matches one scene. Which scene is missing? A. Scene One.　 B. Scene Two.　 C. Scene Three.　 D. Scene Four. 57. What’s the main purpose of writing the four scenes? A. To describe the natural environment on the lonely island. B. To show Crusoe’s fight to survive on the lonely island. C. To introduce the history of sailing accidents in old days. D. To show humans living with wild animals on the island. C Just a few weeks ago, thousands of people gathered in Hong Kong and Shanghai for two of the latest HYROX, a fitness race for everyone. You run one kilometer, then do a simple workout like pushing a heavy sled, rowing or carrying sandbags. You repeat this eight times. No superpower needed. No professional training required. Just a willing heart. Think of it like your school sports day and the Olympic Games, with volunteers and athletes working as one team. Take Leo, a 15-year-old volunteer. His job was handing out water cups at the finish line. At first, he felt small and nervous. He did not know anyone. But as tired runners came in, sweating and breathing hard, Leo handed them water and shouted “good job!” When they smiled and said “thanks,” Leo discovered something important: helping others succeed gives you a deep sense of self-worth. He also learned real skills that day – staying focused under pressure, speaking clearly when tired, and solving small problems quickly by himself. Athletes push through eight stations and eight runs with the help of volunteers like Leo. Their legs shake. Their lungs burn. Some stumble and keep going without looking back. A cold drink, a loud cheer, a clear direction – these small acts keep exhausted runners going. Athletes learn that true strength is not just about muscles. It is having the modesty to accept help from others and the grace to say thank you from the heart, even when you have no breath left to speak. Together, volunteers and athletes prove one simple truth: no one finishes alone. It is a living classroom where every cheer and water cup builds not just stronger bodies, but stronger communities. As founder Christian Toetzke looks to the future, his eyes shine with a bigger dream: “To see HYROX in the 2032 Brisbane Olympics…” 58.

In the study, 52 students were given a boring task of separating red beans from green ones for 30 minutes. This task was simple but required little thinking. Meanwhile, another group of 49 students was asked to create art projects using paper, beans, and glue — a more enjoyable and creative activity. Then both groups were asked to spend five minutes on a creative task, such as coming up with new uses for everyday objects. Surprisingly, the group that had performed the boring task produced more creative ideas than the group that had taken part in the art project.  “Boredom is not necessarily terrible based on my research,” says the study’s leader, Guihyun Park. He explains that when people feel bored, they want to escape that state. “People want to get out of a boring situation, so they tend to seek novelty(追求新奇), which can bring out creativity.”  For designers and anyone in a creative field, boredom is not something to fear, but to embrace. The famous author J. K. Rowling has shared how she would spend hours sitting on trains, letting her mind fly, and coming up with new ideas for her stories. This boredom allowed her to tap into her creativity and imagination, leading to one of the most beloved book series ever — Harry Potter.  However, it’s also worth noting that studies have found that not everyone experiences the same level of creative benefits from boredom. Park agrees that boredom really can be harmful to some important work. “I would say at safety jobs where you need to be watchful all the time, like police or guards, boredom will keep your mind dreaming, which is really bad,” says Park.  62. What was the result of the study? A. Doing a boring task takes less time. B. Creative activities require little thinking. C. Doing a boring task may lead to more creative ideas. D. Creative activities help people keep thinking more actively. 63.The word “embrace” in the sentence“ boredom is not something to fear, but to embrace” has the same meaning as that in . A. Farmers embrace high tech to help them. B. She embraces her daughter warmly at goodbye. C. Arts embrace music, painting, literature.... D. The village is embraced by trees and flowers. 64. In the School Newspaper Club, four members(Leo, Mia, Tom and Emma ) have different roles. According to the passage, who would benefit more from boredom? A. Leo — he checks facts and makes sure every detail is correct. B. Mia — she thinks of story ideas and designs the pages. C. Tom — he guards the printing room and watches the machine. D. Emma — she makes a timetable and tells the finishing time. 65. What’s the best title of this article? A. The way of seeking novelty. B. A surprising power of boredom. C. The secret of being a great writer. D. The importance of keeping creative. 第II卷（非选择题 60 分） 五、词汇运用（共l0小题；每小题l分，计l0分） 根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。（每空一词） 66.
