He studied hard and learned to make his opinions likeable. He discovered when he spoke politely, gave perfect answers and got good grades, parents and teachers lit up, which made him even happier. Basketball, however, was a different story. He made every effort at each practice, yet in the game he always felt one step behind—something important seemed to be missing—until a game held up a mirror to him. It was the biggest game of the year. Coach Miller sent him in late in the game. The score was close, and the court was loud with cheers. Alex went into position, quietly hoping to do his best. When the ball was in his hand, he had a clear chance to shoot. But he froze and looked for someone to pass to. A moment later, he had another chance. He reached for the ball, but when he saw another player charging (冲) at him, he backed off. By the end of the game, Alex had touched the ball four times—moving around the court but never really going for it. Not surprisingly, his team lost. Alex was sitting alone in the locker room with a heavy heart, when Mr. Miller silently joined him. “You know why I put you in?” Mr. Miller asked. Alex shook his head. “Because you’re ready—you just don’t know it yet.” “Ready? They ran right through me,” Alex said, staring at him. “No, you stepped out of their way. And that’s the problem, Alex. You have the height and skills, but you played it safe on the court. You were too afraid of not looking perfect.” “I’ve watched you off the court too. In the hallway, in class, you’re always measuring (权衡), always making sure your answers are perfect. You’ve learned to be perfectly behaved, Alex. But that doesn’t win games.” Alex felt heat rise to his face. “But if I shoot and miss …” “Then you miss,” Mr. Miller said. “Good players aren’t perfect. They go for the ball even when someone’s coming right at them. They aren’t afraid of looking stupid or failing in front of everyone.” Silence fell between them. Mr. Miller stood up. “Same time tomorrow, Alex, remember to leave the perfect kid in the locker room.” Walking home, Alex made a decision. He wouldn’t be afraid of looking imperfect any more—not just on the court, but everywhere. 20. Parents and teachers were happy with Alex because he was ________. A. brave and active B. confident and outgoing C. handsome and popular D. well-behaved and hardworking 21. How did Alex do in the basketball game? A. He did his best. B. He played it safe. C. He scored four points. D. He kept up with others. 22. After talking with Mr. Miller, Alex probably learnt that ________. A. fear of failure holds one back B. good behavior leads to success C. being popular brings happiness D. practicing hard helps win games 【答案】20. D 21. B 22. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了习惯于在学习和生活中保持“完美”的男孩Alex，在篮球比赛中因为害怕犯错、害怕不完美而表现保守，最终导致球队输球。在教练的开导下，他明白了优秀的球员并不完美，他们不怕失败，最终Alex决定不再害怕展现自己的不完美。 【20题详解】 根据第一段“Alex has always behaved perfectly … parents and teachers lit up”可知，Alex一直表现得很完美，学习努力并取得好成绩，这让父母和老师很高兴。well-behaved“表现好的”对应文中的“behaved perfectly”，hardworking“努力的”对应文中的“studied hard”。 【21题详解】 倒数第六段教练对Alex说的话“but you played it safe on the court. You were too afraid of not looking perfect”表明，Alex在篮球比赛中为了不出错而表现得非常保守。 【22题详解】 倒数第三段“They aren’t afraid of looking stupid or failing in front of everyone.”教练指出，优秀的球员不怕在大家面前看起来愚蠢或失败；最后一段“He wouldn’t be afraid of looking imperfect any more—not just on the court, but everywhere.”表明，Alex决定不再害怕看起来不完美。由此可见，Alex从教练的话中领悟到：对失败和不完美的恐惧会阻碍自己前进。 C Have you ever wondered what your brain does when you are asleep? During the night, you may go through several rounds of sleep cycle. In each cycle, there are different sleep stages, like light sleep, deep sleep, and REM sleep—the stage where you dream most. During deep sleep, your brain waves slow down the most. According to sleep research, this is also the time when your brain’s waste-cleaning system is most active, helping remove waste from the brain. The system is called the glymphatic system. Your brain cells need energy from food to power tasks like thinking and learning. Once that energy is used, waste remains. This waste has to be cleared out of your brain, because some types of it are especially harmful if left in your brain too long. That’s when the glymphatic system comes in—it uses brain fluid (液体) to wash that waste out of your brain. A scientist named Maiken Nedergaard from Denmark says, “It’s like turning on the ‘dishwasher’ in your brain before you go to bed, and then you wake up with a clean brain.” She and her team did a lot of research to find out what actually powered this cleaning work. The team discovered that a chemical called norepinephrine (NE) played a key role. During deep sleep, the brainstem sends out tiny waves of NE about every 50 seconds. These waves cause tiny blood vessels in the brain to narrow and widen regularly. As the blood volume (血量) in the brain changes, the flow (流量) of brain fluid rises and falls as well. In this way, the blood vessels work like small pumps (泵), helping move brain fluid through the brain and clear away waste. So next time you are getting a great night’s sleep, your brain’s personal hero—norepinephrine—is hard at work, giving your brain a deep cleaning. However, when you are short of sleep, you’re not just losing rest—you’re allowing waste to build up in your brain. If you want your brain to get this nightly wash, make sure you get enough deep sleep. Stick to a regular bedtime to set your body clock right. Keep screens away an hour before sleep, and do some reading to help your brain wind down. These habits help you stay sharp today and keep your brain healthy for years to come. Sweet dreams, and happy cleaning! 23. According to the passage, the glymphatic system is most active when ________. A. you dream most during sleep B. waste stays in the brain too long C. brain cells use energy from food D. you are in the stage of deep sleep 24. What can we learn from the passage? A. Waves of NE are caused by blood vessel changes. B. The flow of brain fluid changes with blood volume. C. The glymphatic system works better with more brain fluid. D. Brain waste clearance is hardly influenced by blood volume. 25. What is the passage mainly about? A. Where your brain gets its power. B. Why the brain needs to remove waste. C. How the brain clears waste during sleep. D. What you should do to improve your sleep. 【答案】23. D 24. B 25. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了大脑在深度睡眠时依靠类淋巴系统清除代谢废物的原理。 【23题详解】 第一段“During deep sleep, your brain waves slow down the most. According to sleep research, this is also the time when your brain’s waste-cleaning system is most active, helping remove waste from the brain. The system is called the glymphatic system.”指出，在深度睡眠期间，脑电波速度最慢，这也是大脑废物清理系统最活跃的时候。该系统被称为类淋巴系统。由此可见，类淋巴系统在深度睡眠阶段最活跃。 【24题详解】 根据第四段“As the blood volume (血量) in the brain changes, the flow (流量) of brain fluid rises and falls as well.”可知，大脑液体的流动会随着脑内血量的变化而变化。 【25题详解】 本文围绕大脑在睡眠期间如何通过类淋巴系统清理废物展开，介绍了系统的工作阶段、工作机制，文章主要关于大脑如何在睡眠中清除废物。 D You’ve probably noticed that AI is showing up everywhere—in how you do research, talk to friends, and even think through problems. A lot of teens nowadays use AI tools to help with homework or find information. But here’s where it gets complicated: how much should AI actually help? Working out the answer is harder than it sounds. It can be easy to just “put your homework into AI” as you get a perfect answer in seconds. On the surface, it feels easy, quick, and harmless. But there’s a catch. When students just feed their work into an AI chatbot, they’re actually doing something called cognitive offloading. Instead of using their own brain to think through a problem, they pass the hard thinking onto something else—like a chatbot. Cognitive offloading isn’t always bad—we do it all the time: we take a photo of notes instead of copying them; we use GPS instead of remembering the turns. But with AI, it can become a problem when it replaces real learning. You might think, “I don’t let AI do my work THAT often, I’m still able to learn just fine!” Research says: think again. Researchers carried out a study on how AI influences learning. About 1,000 high school students solved math problems in three groups: one used a basic AI chatbot, one used a tutor (导师) AI that guided and supported learning instead of simply giving answers, and one used no AI at all. While AI was available (可用的), students using the basic AI and tutor AI performed 48% and 127% better than the no-AI group. But once AI was taken away, the basic-AI group did 17% worse than the no-AI group, while the tutor-AI group showed little to no difference. These findings suggest AI can help in the moment—but depending on it too heavily may backfire (适得其反). The goal isn’t to never use AI—it’s to use it as a tool that strengthens our brain, not replaces it. So what should you do? You can start by working things out on your own first. Build your own understanding before asking AI. Then use AI to guide you: ask for explanations instead of just the answer. Finally, check whether you or AI did most of the thinking. Make sure to avoid the kind of offloading that can hurt your learning. Getting things done fast surely feels good. But true learning comes from effort, struggles, creativity, and problem-solving—not just the final answer. 26. What do the words “cognitive offloading” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Getting things done quickly on your own. B. Having your own ideas before asking for help. C. Thinking through difficult parts while reading. D. Using certain tools to make the job easier for the brain. 27. What do we know from the study mentioned in the passage? A. AI replaces the need to learn basic math. B. Basic AI helps people learn in the long run. C. Quick AI gains may weaken future learning. D. AI use provides clear support for math learning. 28. Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A. Mindful use of AI is necessary in learning. B. Students should use AI when they’re older. C. True learning happens in the presence of AI. D. Technology keeps people from real learning. 【答案】26. D 27. C 28. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨了学生在学习中使用AI工具的现象，指出过度依赖AI直接获取答案会导致“认知卸载”，从而削弱真实的学习能力，作者建议学生应先独立思考，将AI作为辅助和引导工具，以促进真正的学习。 【26题详解】 下文“Instead of using their own brain to think through a problem, they pass the hard thinking onto something else—like a chatbot.”指出，学生没有用大脑去思考问题，而是把艰难的思考交给了其他东西——比如聊天机器人，cognitive offloading指的是使用某些工具来代替大脑思考，从而减轻大脑的负担。选项D“使用某些工具让大脑的工作变得更容易”符合题意。 【27题详解】 第五段“But once AI was taken away, the basic-AI group did 17% worse than the no-AI group, while the tutor-AI group showed little to no difference. These findings suggest AI can help in the moment—but depending on it too heavily may backfire (适得其反).”提到，AI可以在当下提供帮助，但过度依赖它可能会适得其反。由此可见，虽然AI能带来短期的成绩提升，但过度依赖会削弱学生未来的真实学习能力。 【28题详解】 倒数第二段“You can start by working things out on your own first … Make sure to avoid the kind of offloading that can hurt your learning.”中作者建议先自己理解，再用AI指导和解释，并确保自己在思考；最后一段“But true learning comes from effort, struggles, creativity, and problem-solving—not just the final answer.”强调真正的学习来自努力、奋斗、创造力和解决问题。由此可见，作者并不反对使用AI，而是提倡要理智、有意识地使用AI。 六、阅读表达（共10分，第41-43题，每题2分，第44题4分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Imagine this: a long weekend is coming up. Some students prefer to plan everything in detail, such as finishing homework and meeting friends. They are probably planners. Planners set goals and organize their time carefully to keep things in order. Others go with the flow (顺其自然). They are more likely to be non-planners. Non-planners seldom stick to fixed plans. Instead, they enjoy surprises and often make choices based on how they feel. I have always been a strict planner. I like to think ahead and plan my time carefully. This helps me stay organized, use my time wisely and avoid rushing at the last minute. Yet, I sometimes go too far—I care so much about following my plans that I forget to enjoy the moment. My friend Peter, however, is a non-planner. He seldom makes plans and is always open to unexpected adventures. I couldn’t really understand him at first, but over time, I grew to accept his way of doing things. Now, I even enjoy spending time with him because he often introduces me to new things and helps me notice the beauty around. Our different styles can sometimes cause problems. Last month, we worked together on a group project with three other classmates. As the team leader, I made a plan, gave out the tasks, and set clear deadlines (截止日期). Most members followed the plan and completed their tasks as expected. Oftentimes, Peter failed to finish his part on time, which somewhat held the team back. However, he was full of creative ideas. Near the end of the project, he suggested some changes to improve our work. I liked his ideas, but I worried that making changes so late might slow us down. Finally, I decided not to accept his suggestions. He seemed a little disappointed, which made our teamwork less pleasant than I had expected. After this experience, I started to see things differently. Life is not about choosing one side or the other. Sometimes we need a clear plan; sometimes we need to go with the flow. The real challenge is striking a balance between the two. 29. How do planners keep things in order? ____________________________________________________________ 30. Why does the writer enjoy spending time with Peter? ____________________________________________________________ 31. What did the writer do with Peter’s suggestions for the project? ____________________________________________________________ 32. Will you make a strict plan for the coming summer holiday? Why or why not? (Give two reasons) ____________________________________________________________ 【答案】29. By setting goals and organizing their time carefully. 30. Because he often introduces the writer to new things and helps him/her notice the beauty around. 31. The writer decided not to accept them. 32. Yes, I will. Because it helps me stay organized and avoid rushing at the last minute./No, I won’t. First, strict plans will make me stressed. Second, I want more chances to try unexpected fun activities. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者作为“计划者”与“非计划者”朋友Peter之间的相处经历，通过一次小组合作的冲突，作者感悟到生活需要在计划与顺其自然之间找到平衡。 【29题详解】 根据文章第1段“Planners set goals and organize their time carefully to keep things in order.”可知，计划者通过设定目标和仔细安排时间来保持秩序。 【30题详解】 根据文章第3段“Now, I even enjoy spending time with him because he often introduces me to new things and helps me notice the beauty around.”可知，作者喜欢和Peter在一起的原因。答案是原文直接信息。 【31题详解】 根据文章第4段“Finally, I decided not to accept his suggestions.”可知，作者最终没有接受Peter的建议。 【32题详解】 本题为开放性问题，答案不唯一，给出两个理由、言之有理即可。结合文章内容和自己作为“计划者/非计划者”的实际情况作答即可。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ ________学校2025—2026学年度第二学期期末试卷 八年级英语 2026.7 注意事项 1．本试卷共分为卷一、卷二两部分，卷面总分共90分。考试时间100分钟。 2．在试卷和答题卡上准确填写学校、班级、姓名、学号。 3．试题答案一律填涂或书写在答题卡上，在试卷上作答无效。 4．在答题卡上，选择题用2B铅笔作答，其他试题用黑色字迹签字笔作答。 5．考试结束，请将考试材料一并交回。 卷一 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三个选项中选出最佳选项。每段对话或独白你将听两遍。（共12分，每小题1.5分） 请听一段对话，完成小题。 1．Where will the boy do volunteer work?

He studied hard and learned to make his opinions likeable. He discovered when he spoke politely, gave perfect answers and got good grades, parents and teachers lit up, which made him even happier. Basketball, however, was a different story. He made every effort at each practice, yet in the game he always felt one step behind—something important seemed to be missing—until a game held up a mirror to him. It was the biggest game of the year. Coach Miller sent him in late in the game. The score was close, and the court was loud with cheers. Alex went into position, quietly hoping to do his best. When the ball was in his hand, he had a clear chance to shoot. But he froze and looked for someone to pass to. A moment later, he had another chance. He reached for the ball, but when he saw another player charging (冲) at him, he backed off. By the end of the game, Alex had touched the ball four times—moving around the court but never really going for it. Not surprisingly, his team lost. Alex was sitting alone in the locker room with a heavy heart, when Mr. Miller silently joined him. “You know why I put you in?” Mr. Miller asked. Alex shook his head. “Because you’re ready—you just don’t know it yet.” “Ready? They ran right through me,” Alex said, staring at him. “No, you stepped out of their way. And that’s the problem, Alex. You have the height and skills, but you played it safe on the court. You were too afraid of not looking perfect.” “I’ve watched you off the court too. In the hallway, in class, you’re always measuring (权衡), always making sure your answers are perfect. You’ve learned to be perfectly behaved, Alex. But that doesn’t win games.” Alex felt heat rise to his face. “But if I shoot and miss …” “Then you miss,” Mr. Miller said. “Good players aren’t perfect. They go for the ball even when someone’s coming right at them. They aren’t afraid of looking stupid or failing in front of everyone.” Silence fell between them. Mr. Miller stood up. “Same time tomorrow, Alex, remember to leave the perfect kid in the locker room.” Walking home, Alex made a decision. He wouldn’t be afraid of looking imperfect any more—not just on the court, but everywhere. 20. Parents and teachers were happy with Alex because he was ________. A. brave and active B. confident and outgoing C. handsome and popular D. well-behaved and hardworking 21. How did Alex do in the basketball game? A. He did his best. B. He played it safe. C. He scored four points. D. He kept up with others. 22. After talking with Mr. Miller, Alex probably learnt that ________. A. fear of failure holds one back B. good behavior leads to success C. being popular brings happiness D. practicing hard helps win games C Have you ever wondered what your brain does when you are asleep? During the night, you may go through several rounds of sleep cycle. In each cycle, there are different sleep stages, like light sleep, deep sleep, and REM sleep—the stage where you dream most. During deep sleep, your brain waves slow down the most. According to sleep research, this is also the time when your brain’s waste-cleaning system is most active, helping remove waste from the brain. The system is called the glymphatic system. Your brain cells need energy from food to power tasks like thinking and learning. Once that energy is used, waste remains. This waste has to be cleared out of your brain, because some types of it are especially harmful if left in your brain too long. That’s when the glymphatic system comes in—it uses brain fluid (液体) to wash that waste out of your brain. A scientist named Maiken Nedergaard from Denmark says, “It’s like turning on the ‘dishwasher’ in your brain before you go to bed, and then you wake up with a clean brain.” She and her team did a lot of research to find out what actually powered this cleaning work. The team discovered that a chemical called norepinephrine (NE) played a key role. During deep sleep, the brainstem sends out tiny waves of NE about every 50 seconds. These waves cause tiny blood vessels in the brain to narrow and widen regularly. As the blood volume (血量) in the brain changes, the flow (流量) of brain fluid rises and falls as well. In this way, the blood vessels work like small pumps (泵), helping move brain fluid through the brain and clear away waste. So next time you are getting a great night’s sleep, your brain’s personal hero—norepinephrine—is hard at work, giving your brain a deep cleaning. However, when you are short of sleep, you’re not just losing rest—you’re allowing waste to build up in your brain. If you want your brain to get this nightly wash, make sure you get enough deep sleep. Stick to a regular bedtime to set your body clock right. Keep screens away an hour before sleep, and do some reading to help your brain wind down. These habits help you stay sharp today and keep your brain healthy for years to come. Sweet dreams, and happy cleaning! 23. According to the passage, the glymphatic system is most active when ________. A. you dream most during sleep B. waste stays in the brain too long C. brain cells use energy from food D. you are in the stage of deep sleep 24. What can we learn from the passage? A. Waves of NE are caused by blood vessel changes. B. The flow of brain fluid changes with blood volume. C. The glymphatic system works better with more brain fluid. D. Brain waste clearance is hardly influenced by blood volume. 25. What is the passage mainly about? A. Where your brain gets its power. B. Why the brain needs to remove waste. C. How the brain clears waste during sleep. D. What you should do to improve your sleep. D You’ve probably noticed that AI is showing up everywhere—in how you do research, talk to friends, and even think through problems. A lot of teens nowadays use AI tools to help with homework or find information. But here’s where it gets complicated: how much should AI actually help? Working out the answer is harder than it sounds. It can be easy to just “put your homework into AI” as you get a perfect answer in seconds. On the surface, it feels easy, quick, and harmless. But there’s a catch. When students just feed their work into an AI chatbot, they’re actually doing something called cognitive offloading. Instead of using their own brain to think through a problem, they pass the hard thinking onto something else—like a chatbot. Cognitive offloading isn’t always bad—we do it all the time: we take a photo of notes instead of copying them; we use GPS instead of remembering the turns. But with AI, it can become a problem when it replaces real learning. You might think, “I don’t let AI do my work THAT often, I’m still able to learn just fine!” Research says: think again. Researchers carried out a study on how AI influences learning. About 1,000 high school students solved math problems in three groups: one used a basic AI chatbot, one used a tutor (导师) AI that guided and supported learning instead of simply giving answers, and one used no AI at all. While AI was available (可用的), students using the basic AI and tutor AI performed 48% and 127% better than the no-AI group. But once AI was taken away, the basic-AI group did 17% worse than the no-AI group, while the tutor-AI group showed little to no difference. These findings suggest AI can help in the moment—but depending on it too heavily may backfire (适得其反). The goal isn’t to never use AI—it’s to use it as a tool that strengthens our brain, not replaces it. So what should you do? You can start by working things out on your own first. Build your own understanding before asking AI. Then use AI to guide you: ask for explanations instead of just the answer. Finally, check whether you or AI did most of the thinking. Make sure to avoid the kind of offloading that can hurt your learning. Getting things done fast surely feels good. But true learning comes from effort, struggles, creativity, and problem-solving—not just the final answer. 26. What do the words “cognitive offloading” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Getting things done quickly on your own. B. Having your own ideas before asking for help. C. Thinking through difficult parts while reading. D. Using certain tools to make the job easier for the brain. 27. What do we know from the study mentioned in the passage? A. AI replaces the need to learn basic math. B. Basic AI helps people learn in the long run. C. Quick AI gains may weaken future learning. D. AI use provides clear support for math learning. 28. Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A. Mindful use of AI is necessary in learning. B. Students should use AI when they’re older. C. True learning happens in the presence of AI. D. Technology keeps people from real learning. 六、阅读表达（共10分，第41-43题，每题2分，第44题4分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Imagine this: a long weekend is coming up. Some students prefer to plan everything in detail, such as finishing homework and meeting friends. They are probably planners. Planners set goals and organize their time carefully to keep things in order. Others go with the flow (顺其自然). They are more likely to be non-planners. Non-planners seldom stick to fixed plans. Instead, they enjoy surprises and often make choices based on how they feel. I have always been a strict planner. I like to think ahead and plan my time carefully. This helps me stay organized, use my time wisely and avoid rushing at the last minute. Yet, I sometimes go too far—I care so much about following my plans that I forget to enjoy the moment. My friend Peter, however, is a non-planner. He seldom makes plans and is always open to unexpected adventures. I couldn’t really understand him at first, but over time, I grew to accept his way of doing things. Now, I even enjoy spending time with him because he often introduces me to new things and helps me notice the beauty around. Our different styles can sometimes cause problems. Last month, we worked together on a group project with three other classmates. As the team leader, I made a plan, gave out the tasks, and set clear deadlines (截止日期). Most members followed the plan and completed their tasks as expected. Oftentimes, Peter failed to finish his part on time, which somewhat held the team back. However, he was full of creative ideas. Near the end of the project, he suggested some changes to improve our work. I liked his ideas, but I worried that making changes so late might slow us down. Finally, I decided not to accept his suggestions. He seemed a little disappointed, which made our teamwork less pleasant than I had expected. After this experience, I started to see things differently. Life is not about choosing one side or the other. Sometimes we need a clear plan; sometimes we need to go with the flow. The real challenge is striking a balance between the two. 29. How do planners keep things in order? ____________________________________________________________ 30. Why does the writer enjoy spending time with Peter? ____________________________________________________________ 31. What did the writer do with Peter’s suggestions for the project? ____________________________________________________________ 32. Will you make a strict plan for the coming summer holiday? Why or why not? (Give two reasons) ____________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
