The rule was that they would be ____11____ in a room and had to find a hidden key to get out within an hour. The room was ____12____. Someone lit the torch (点着火把). Once they could see things clearly, the three of them worked on their own to look for the key. Fifteen minutes passed, but they made no ____13____. Emma had no idea what to do. She felt ____14____. “Stop!” she shouted suddenly. “Why not work together? We should not do ____15____ things.” Maya and Leo stopped what they were doing. They agreed to ____16____ together. Soon they saw three symbols on the wall, each with a number, 2-7-4. They also found a piece of paper on the floor with the same symbols in a different ____17____, 7-4-2. They read the paper and checked the wall symbols one by one. Then together, they used these numbers to open a box. There was a key inside the box, but it didn’t fit the door. “Check the ____18____ again,” Maya said. They found on the back of it was a map. It showed a small box under a table. Leo found a second key inside. Emma ____19____ opened the door. They ran out, laughing and cheering. “If we hadn’t worked together, we’d still be in there,” Emma said.

D 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了Emma和朋友玩密室逃脱游戏的故事。起初各自为战无进展，后来团结协作找到钥匙成功逃脱，感悟合作的重要性。 【11题详解】 句意：规则是他们将被锁在一个房间里，必须在一小时内找到隐藏的钥匙才能出去。 根据“get out”及密室游戏背景，可知进入房间是被限制自由的状态，locked“锁住”符合。 【12题详解】 句意：房间是黑的。 根据“lit the torch”和“see things clearly”，可知之前看不见，房间是“黑的”。故选dark“黑的”。 【13题详解】 句意：十五分钟过去了，但他们没有取得进展。 根据“Emma had no idea what to do”，可知寻找钥匙不顺利。make no progress 表示“没有进展”，符合语境。 【14题详解】 句意：她感到迷茫。 根据“had no idea what to do”，可知心理状态是困惑不知所措。feel lost表示“感到迷茫/不知所措”。 【15题详解】 句意：我们不应该做不同的事情。 根据前文“worked on their own”和建议“work together”，可知之前做的是“不同的”事，合作意味着做相同的事，故选different“不同的”。 【16题详解】 句意：他们同意一起环顾四周寻找。 根据寻找钥匙的语境，需要在房间里搜索。look around 表示“四处查看”，符合寻找线索的动作。 【17题详解】 句意：他们还在地上发现一张纸条，上面印有相同的符号，只是排列顺序不同：7-4-2。 根据墙上“2-7-4”和纸上“7-4-2”的对比，数字相同但排列变了，这指的是“顺序”不同。故选order“顺序”。 【18题详解】 句意：再检查一下那张纸。 根据前文“found a piece of paper”及后文“on the back of it”，可知检查的对象是之前发现的“纸”。其他选项与背面有地图的描述不符。故选paper“纸”。 【19题详解】 句意：Emma终于打开了门。 根据经过多次尝试和寻找钥匙的过程，最后成功开门。finally表示“最终/终于”，体现过程的不易。其他选项无法体现成功逃脱的结果。 【20题详解】 句意：他们意识到合作是成功的关键。 根据“If we hadn’t worked together”，可知文章主旨强调团队协作。teamwork意为“团队合作”，符合主题。其他选项不是文章强调的核心。 四、阅读理解（本大题分三节，共20小题，每题2分，共40分） 第一节 阅读理解。阅读A、B两篇短文，从每小题所给的四个选项中，选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案，并将答题卡上对应题目所选的选项涂黑。 A Science Fair 2026 — Solar Power Challenge Do you want to build something cool using only the sun?

But what about mountain gorillas (大猩猩) that live in the wild? They may get hurt or sick too, but there are no proper hospitals for them. That is exactly why wildlife doctors are so important. Wild mountain gorillas face many dangers every day, including traps (陷阱), diseases and the loss of their living places. Luckily, there are kind people working to save them. They have received good training to look after these gorillas well. Unlike animal doctors who work in clean city hospitals, wildlife doctors spend most of their time in faraway rainforests and high mountains. They work in small teams and usually stay out in the wild from morning till night. Because of this, wildlife doctors work in very different ways. They cannot bring wild gorillas to hospitals, so they use a special gun (枪) to give medicine from far away to make them calm before they get close. Then they treat wounds right in the forest, like cleaning the cuts caused by traps. All these have to be done quickly and carefully because scared gorillas can hurt people. After treatment, they put a special tool on the gorillas to track their daily activities. This way, they can see where the gorillas go and make sure they stay healthy. The work is tiring and sometimes dangerous, but every life they save makes all their hard work meaningful. In 2020, a baby gorilla got caught in a trap. The doctors hiked quickly up the mountain, freed it and cleaned its wounds. Then they carried the baby back to its family. Thanks to the efforts of the wildlife doctors, the number of wild mountain gorillas has increased by 25% in the last 20 years. They are proud to protect these endangered animals and keep nature safe for our planet’s future. 26. How does the writer begin the passage? A. By telling a funny story. B. By listing numbers. C. By sharing different ideas. D. By comparing two situations. 27. What can we learn about wildlife doctors from paragraph 2? A. They work alone most of the time. B. Their work is very difficult. C. They get training from city hospitals. D. They have enough time to rest. 28. What does the underlined word “track” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Describe. B. Imagine. C. Follow. D. Plan. 29. The writer tells the story of the baby gorilla to show ________. A. wildlife doctors’ role in wildlife protection B. wildlife doctors’ ways to treat the gorilla C. the serious situation of baby gorillas D. baby gorillas’ life in the wild 30. What is the best title for the passage? A. Life of Wildlife Doctors B. Animal Doctors in the City C. Mountain Gorillas in Danger D. Ways to Protect Wild Animals 【答案】26. D 27. B 28. C 29. A 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了野生动物医生的工作内容、方式及其对保护山地大猩猩的重要意义，突出了他们在野外艰苦环境中救治动物的奉献精神。 【26题详解】 第一段先提到家养宠物生病可立即送医，再转折提出野生大猩猩没有医院，从而引出野生动物医生的必要性。作者通过对比两种不同的情况来开头。 【27题详解】 第二段指出野生动物医生“Unlike animal doctors who work in clean city hospitals, wildlife doctors spend most of their time in faraway rainforests and high mountains”，以及“They work in small teams and usually stay out in the wild from morning till night.”，说明他们的工作非常艰难。 【28题详解】 第三段提到医生给大猩猩装上特殊工具后，“they can see where the gorillas go and make sure they stay healthy”，因此“track”意为“追踪、跟随”。 【29题详解】 第四段讲述野生动物医生救助一只被困的小猩猩的故事，随后指出“Thanks to the efforts of the wildlife doctors, the number of wild mountain gorillas has increased”，这说明野生动物医生在保护野生动物方面发挥了重要作用。 【30题详解】 全文围绕野生动物医生的日常工作、工作方式及其对保护山地大猩猩的贡献展开，因此最佳标题为“野生动物医生的生活”。 第二节 配对阅读。 阅读下面短文，从短文所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Digital humans have become new helpers in modern education.

The result is shown in the pie chart on the right. Here are some opinions from the readers: I think parents should check our phones. My mom once found out that a stranger was sending me bad messages. She helped me block (屏蔽) him and taught me how to stay safe. Without my parents checking my phone, I might be in great danger. —Lily, 13 I don’t agree. Everyone has their privacy. My parents often look through my phone without asking first. I feel like they don’t trust me at all. It makes me want to hide secrets from them even more. —Tom, 14 There is no need to be completely against parents checking phones. Sometimes we even talk about funny videos or interesting news we see on my phone together. My parents check my phone sometimes. But they keep my secrets to themselves. This way, I feel both safe and respected. —Amy, 15 I believe checking kids’ phones is a parent’s job. The Internet can be a dangerous place.

For Wang Wencai, the First Class Award ________ ________ (属于) the team. 【答案】 ①. belongs ②. to 【解析】 【详解】句意：对王文才而言，这个一等奖属于整个团队。根据汉语提示“属于”，可知此处用动词短语belong to。句子的主语是the First Class Award，为第三人称单数，因此谓语动词belong需变为belongs。 47. I ________ ________ ________ (忍不住笑) at my heartbreaking words at that time. 【答案】 ①. couldn’t ②. help ③. laughing 【解析】 【详解】中文提示“忍不住笑”对应的英语固定短语是can’t help laughing。句末的时间状语at that time（那时）表明动作发生在过去，句子需用一般过去时，因此情态动词can’t要变为couldn’t。故填couldn’t help laughing。 48. ________ ________ (根据) Lao Shu, many of the 24 Solar Terms bear cultural meanings. 【答案】 ①. According ②. to 【解析】 【详解】句意：据老树所说，二十四节气中的大多数都承载着文化内涵。根据括号内的中文提示“根据”，可知此处应使用介词短语according to。位于句首的第一个单词的首字母必须大写，即According。 49.

From the sidelines to the field, no matter what the team sport is, looking for relevant information in the playing environment can be as important as any other skill if you want to score. Think of Allen Iverson, Scott Pendlebury, or Steve Nash, coolly judging all the options before making important decisions. How do these excellent athletes become so great? As well as their physical strengths, their brainpower is an obvious advantage. Regardless of whether an athlete is playing backyard cricket or Olympic basketball, their playing environment holds important information that must be found, explained and then acted on. Research conducted at Western Sydney University finds skilled players are better at looking for and seeing the options and what’s happening around them in the playing environment. They tend to look both at an opponent (对手) and at where they can move next. Less skilled players, however, might watch only one detail but not what is happening around them. Skilled players are also often faster to make decisions compared to less skilled players. Their experiences create more stored memories that help speed up their decision-making. Essentially, skilled players know what information is the most relevant to focus on and they act on it quickly. Adding to this picture is new research that explores the negative impact of mental fatigue (疲倦) on physical performance. This work shows that our ability to exercise can be affected negatively after activities requiring long periods of thinking and mental effort, particularly when these activities are boring. It first considers the impact of using the brain so much that it makes you physically tired. This may be particularly relevant for coaches of young players shifting from the school day to training, especially if the day’s lessons have been complex. Coaches should therefore map out appropriate strategies by considering the amount of information they provide for athletes and the complexity of the tasks and instructions. Overall, cognitive (认知) skills, like physical qualities, are key to high performance and even play a role in identifying future potential. Cognition could be a reliable marker of ability over time and could provide some basis for prediction of talent. 61. Why are some great athletes mentioned in the text? A. To compare different sports. B. To honor their achievements. C. To highlight physical training. D. To stress mental skills in sports. 62. According to paragraph 2, what advantage do skilled athletes tend to have? A. Faster moving speed. B. Wider focus of attention. C. More efficient teamwork. D. Stronger physical endurance. 63. Successful athletes make decisions quickly by _______. A. referring to previous experience B. ignoring all outside distractions C. learning from opponents’ strategies D. understanding coaches’ instructions 64. What does the author suggest coaches do after their players have had a hard school day? A. Lengthen the warm-up for training. B. Set the training intensity adaptively. C. Prioritize physical over cognitive training. D. Refer to their players’ previous performance. 65. What is the text mainly about? A. The quality of sports talent. B. The overall training in sports. C. The cognitive power in sports. D. The variables affecting sports. 【答案】61. D 62. B 63. A 64. B 65. C 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕体育运动中的认知能力展开，介绍了优秀运动员在注意力分配、决策速度上的认知优势，说明了精神疲劳对运动表现的影响并给教练提出相关建议，最终点明认知能力是影响运动成绩、预测运动天赋的核心因素之一。 【61题详解】 根据第一段最后一句“As well as their physical strengths, their brainpower is an obvious advantage.”（除了身体素质，他们的脑力也是一个明显的优势）可知，文中提到这些伟大运动员是为了强调脑力（mental skills）在运动中的重要性。 【62题详解】 根据第二段内容“Skilled players are better at looking for and seeing the options and what’s happening around them... They tend to look both at an opponent and at where they can move next.”（熟练的运动员更善于寻找和看到周围发生的选项和情况……他们倾向于既看对手也看下一步移动的位置）以及对比不熟练的运动员“watch only one detail”（只看一个细节），可知熟练运动员的优势在于注意力焦点更宽泛。 【63题详解】 根据第三段“...Their experiences create more stored memories that help speed up their decision-making...”（他们的经验创造了更多存储的记忆，有助于加快决策速度）可知，成功运动员快速决策是依靠参考以往的经验。 【64题详解】 根据第四段最后一句“Coaches should therefore map out appropriate strategies by considering the amount of information they provide for athletes and the complexity of the tasks and instructions.”（教练因此应制定适当的策略，考虑提供给运动员的信息量和任务及指令的复杂性）可知，作者建议教练根据球员的精神疲劳程度调整训练策略和强度，即适应性设置训练强度。 【65题详解】 通读全文可知，文章第一段引出脑力优势，第二、三段阐述认知技能如何帮助运动员表现，第四段讨论精神疲劳对表现的影响，最后一段总结认知技能是关键。整篇文章主要围绕运动中的认知能力（cognitive power）展开。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 禅城区2025-2026学年八年级下学期英语期末试卷 说明： 1．全卷共8页，满分90分，另加附加题10分，训练用时90分钟。 2．答题前，考生务必用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔在答题卡填写自己的考生号、姓名、座位号。用2B铅笔把对应该号码的标号涂黑。 3．选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目选项的答案信息点涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选择其他答案，答案不能答在训练卷上。 4．非选择题必须用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔作答、答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案；不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答的，答案无效。 5．考生务必保持答题卡的整洁。 一、听说应用（使用听说软件进行）（30分） 二、语法选择（本大题有10小题，每小题1分，共10分） 通读下面短文，掌握其大意，按照句子结构的语法和上下文连贯的要求，从每题所给的三个选项中选出一个最佳答案，并将答题卡上对应题目所选的选项涂黑。 Vernice was poor and lonely.

On the school notice board. B When our pet dogs or cats fall ill, we rush them to an animal doctor right away. But what about mountain gorillas (大猩猩) that live in the wild? They may get hurt or sick too, but there are no proper hospitals for them. That is exactly why wildlife doctors are so important. Wild mountain gorillas face many dangers every day, including traps (陷阱), diseases and the loss of their living places. Luckily, there are kind people working to save them. They have received good training to look after these gorillas well. Unlike animal doctors who work in clean city hospitals, wildlife doctors spend most of their time in faraway rainforests and high mountains. They work in small teams and usually stay out in the wild from morning till night. Because of this, wildlife doctors work in very different ways. They cannot bring wild gorillas to hospitals, so they use a special gun (枪) to give medicine from far away to make them calm before they get close. Then they treat wounds right in the forest, like cleaning the cuts caused by traps. All these have to be done quickly and carefully because scared gorillas can hurt people. After treatment, they put a special tool on the gorillas to track their daily activities. This way, they can see where the gorillas go and make sure they stay healthy. The work is tiring and sometimes dangerous, but every life they save makes all their hard work meaningful. In 2020, a baby gorilla got caught in a trap. The doctors hiked quickly up the mountain, freed it and cleaned its wounds. Then they carried the baby back to its family. Thanks to the efforts of the wildlife doctors, the number of wild mountain gorillas has increased by 25% in the last 20 years. They are proud to protect these endangered animals and keep nature safe for our planet’s future. 26. How does the writer begin the passage? A. By telling a funny story. B. By listing numbers. C. By sharing different ideas. D. By comparing two situations. 27. What can we learn about wildlife doctors from paragraph 2? A. They work alone most of the time. B. Their work is very difficult. C. They get training from city hospitals. D. They have enough time to rest. 28. What does the underlined word “track” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Describe. B. Imagine. C. Follow. D. Plan. 29. The writer tells the story of the baby gorilla to show ________. A. wildlife doctors’ role in wildlife protection B. wildlife doctors’ ways to treat the gorilla C. the serious situation of baby gorillas D. baby gorillas’ life in the wild 30. What is the best title for the passage? A. Life of Wildlife Doctors B. Animal Doctors in the City C. Mountain Gorillas in Danger D. Ways to Protect Wild Animals 第二节 配对阅读。 阅读下面短文，从短文所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Digital humans have become new helpers in modern education.

This has become a problem in many families: should parents check their children’s phones? Last week, we invited our readers to vote on this question. We received 3,245 votes in total. The result is shown in the pie chart on the right. Here are some opinions from the readers: I think parents should check our phones. My mom once found out that a stranger was sending me bad messages. She helped me block (屏蔽) him and taught me how to stay safe. Without my parents checking my phone, I might be in great danger. —Lily, 13 I don’t agree. Everyone has their privacy. My parents often look through my phone without asking first. I feel like they don’t trust me at all. It makes me want to hide secrets from them even more. —Tom, 14 There is no need to be completely against parents checking phones. Sometimes we even talk about funny videos or interesting news we see on my phone together. My parents check my phone sometimes. But they keep my secrets to themselves. This way, I feel both safe and respected. —Amy, 15 I believe checking kids’ phones is a parent’s job. The Internet can be a dangerous place. Teenagers are not always wise enough to make good decisions. Parents need to know what their kids are doing online to protect them. —Mr. Smith, a father of two 36.
