After about half an hour, Randy said to Jack, “Oh, I need to take a rest. I have to say that you are really good at this game.” Their classmate Nick heard this. He laughed out loud and said, “Randy, that’s because you are really bad at the sport. I am the best of the three of us.” Then, he asked Jack if he would like to play with him. Jack said, “OK.” Then, the two began to play. As a tall boy, Nick showed great skill at playing badminton. It was not easy for Jack to win, but still, he won the game. To Jack’s surprise, Nick said, “I can win if I have a racket as good as yours.” However, Jack didn’t think so. He said, “Let’s swap rackets to play again.” Unluckily for Nick, he still lost the game.

Gossip is talking about someone’s private (私人的) life in a way that could hurt or make them uncomfortable if they found out. People often repeat gossip, so it spreads quickly. Sometimes people gossip to be mean to someone they do not like. Sometimes people gossip to show off that they know a secret. Gossip can be true or partly true. Sometimes gossip is not true at all because someone made it up. Repeating it can hurt others. Think about how you would feel if people gossiped about your secrets. However, if you hear about something dangerous—like someone walks on train tracks (铁轨) to school—telling a trusted adult is not gossip; it’s about keeping someone safe. Why It Hurts Gossiping can be uncomfortable, especially when it comes from friends you care about. This kind of negative talk breaks trust, spreads rumors, and can end friendships. How to Deal with It If you want to stop gossip without losing friends, here is some advice: 1. Set Clear Rules Tell your friends honestly that you don’t feel good talking about others’ private lives. If they forget, remind them kindly. Thank them when they respect your rule. This helps build a trusting friendship. 2. Focus on Good News When you chat with your friends, share something positive. Talk about a holiday plan, a fun trip, or an interesting story. Discussing happy things makes gossip less interesting and keeps conversations friendly. 3. Change the Topic If your friends start gossiping, turn to a safe subject. Ask about hobbies, movies, or news. For example, “ ▲ ?” Another more direct way is to say, “This conversation is starting to feel like gossip to me, which makes me uncomfortable, so let’s talk about something else.” 4. Know When to Walk Away “You know, I’d love to chat but…” might be the easiest way to deal with those who gossip. In this way, you can leave them without an ear to hear the things that may make you unhappy. By understanding gossip and using these tips, you can protect yourself and others, building friendships based on kindness and respect instead of rumors and hurt. 36. Gossip (G) or Not (N)? ________a) Talking about something about a new movie you saw with your friend. ________b) Making up a story that your classmate is moving to another city. ________c) Hearing that someone brings a knife or lighter to school and telling a teacher. ________d) Telling many classmates how your friend Li Ming fell asleep during the math test, just to make them laugh. 37. Which phrase (短语) from the text matches the meaning? To act in a way that makes others think you are good or important. _________________________________________________________ 38. What will happen if gossip comes from your friend? _________________________________________________________ 39. What does the word “it” refer to in this sentence? Gossip can be true or partly true. Sometimes gossip is not true at all because someone made it up. _________________________________________________________ 40. Fill in the blank ▲ with a proper (合适的) sentence. _________________________________________________________ B You may know or use Siri or Doubao, but what exactly is AI? AI refers to computer systems that are able to perform tasks that usually require human intelligence. Without realizing it, people all over the world use different forms of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology daily, so it is very important in our lives. The Development of AI In 1950, Alan Turing came up with the “Turing Test”, which marks the start of AI. Then, in 1956, scientists officially made AI a scientific field. Since then, AI has achieved many breakthroughs (突破) —IBM’s “Deep Blue” won against chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997; DeepMind’s AlphaGo beat Go champion Lee Sedol in 2016; and OpenAI created ChatGPT, an AI that can chat like a human in 2022. Today, DeepSeek (Hangzhou), a more powerful and user-friendly AI, provides a detailed thinking process for people. AI Today Today, AI is used worldwide in different ways. In factories, AI does boring work instead of human workers to increase production and reduce costs. Some difficult tasks in space are performed by AI to protect astronauts from dangers. In the field of medicine, AI helps doctors scan X-rays, perform operations, and diagnose (诊断) patients. It seems that AI can take the place of humans in quite a few jobs across different fields. The Future of AI In the future, scientists want AI to use sensors (传感器) to sense smells, tastes, touches, and sounds, and then respond to certain situations. They also want AI to be able to tell how people are feeling by looking at their expressions or listening to their tones (语气). AI is a technology that is developing fast and changing all the time. It will appear more often in our daily lives. 41. Why is AI important in our lives? ____________________________________________________ 42. List three major breakthroughs of AI mentioned in the passage. ①____________________________________________________ ②____________________________________________________ ③____________________________________________________ 43. 根据短文内容填空。 (每空不超过三个单词) AI is a computer system that can finish tasks with human intelligence. It has a long_______history, starting with the “Turing Test” in 1950. Over the years, AI has made many breakthroughs. Today, it is widely used in different _______ like factories, space and medicine. In the future, scientists hope AI can sense the world and understand human _______ better. AI is developing rapidly and it will appear more often in our _______. 44. Do you think AI is good for our lives? Why or why not? (at least 2 sentences for your reason) _______________________________________________________ V.书面表达(15分) 45. 愉快的寒假马上就要来临了，English Teens网站正在开展寒假生活规划调研活动，主题为“Wise Plans for a Meaningful Winter Vacation”，邀请八年级学生分享自己的寒假计划。请你以My plans for my winter vacation为题写一篇短文投稿，从学业、身体健康、自我提升或与家人相处等至少三方面，谈谈你的假期计划以及如何完成它们，并且展望你的收获。 要求： 1.不少于80词； 2.语句通顺，语意连贯； 3.文中不得出现真实的人名与校名。 My plans for my winter vacation _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年度第一学期期末学业水平质量检测 八年级英语试题 (考试时间：100分钟；满分：90分) 第Ⅰ卷(共45分) I.完形填空(本题10小题，每小题1.5分，共15分) When you look at animals, what do you see?

A. discussions B. problems C. questions D. predictions 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C 4. D 5. B 6. A 7. B 8. C 9. C 10. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述王晴等学生发现字典和标牌中对动植物的描述不当，建议人们改变观念，保护野生动物，而非仅仅利用它们。 【1题详解】 句意：八年级学生王晴把动物看作好朋友。 空处搭配固定词组see...as...，含义为“把……视作……”。 【2题详解】 句意：但并不是所有人都这样认为。 前文说明王晴看待动物的独特视角，but表转折，everybody用于否定句表示部分否定“并非所有人”；anybody多用于疑问句、否定句表示“任何人”；somebody表示“某人”；nobody表示“没有人”，语义不符。 【3题详解】 句意：王晴想要查阅《现代汉语词典》中 “熊” 这个字的含义。 后文词典解释了熊掌相关释义，对应查询单词的“含义”；character“字符、性格”；personality“性格”；environment“环境”均不符合查阅词典的语境。 【4题详解】 句意：令他惊讶的是，词典里写熊掌是一种美味食材。 固定搭配to one’s surprise，表示“令某人惊讶的是”；joy“喜悦”，可构成短语但不符合后文提到“Wang was unhappy”语境；mind“头脑”；taste“味道”不能构成该固定短语。 【5题详解】 句意：他接着在词典里查找“虎”和“狼”，查到的结果几乎是一样的。 此处指代查询字词得到的词典内容“结果”；resolutions“决议”；reasons“理由”；reports“报告”不符合查字典的行为结果。 【6题详解】 句意：于是王晴写信给词典编辑，告诉他们应当做出一些修改。 发现词典内容不合理，需要编辑进行改动、修改；plans“计划”；mistakes“错误”；chances“机会”逻辑不通。 【7题详解】 句意：北京八十中的彭艺婷、赵伟科在研学途中留意到许多介绍植物用途的标识牌。 学生在园区游览时主动“注意到、留意到”标牌；written“书写”；printed“印刷”；prepared“准备”不符合学生的动作行为。 【8题详解】 句意：游客能在其中一块标牌上看到如下信息：这种植物的汁液可以入药，对皮肤有益。 引号内的文字是标牌展示的相关“信息”；prediction“预言”；promise“承诺”；invitation“邀请”和标牌文字属性不符。 【9题详解】 句意：这些标识也应当提醒我们在利用野生生物的同时去保护它们。 全篇核心主旨是保护野生动物，protect符合文章立意；fight“对抗”；hurt“伤害”；forget“忘记”语义相悖。 【10题详解】 句意：你在所在城市的动物园、植物园里见过这类问题吗？ 前文罗列了词典、园区标牌存在的片面化描述问题，此处指代前文出现的各类不妥之处、问题；discussions“讨论”；questions侧重需要回答的疑问；predictions“预言”不合适。 II.阅读理解(本题15小题，每小题2分，共30分) A Nick was a boy in middle school.

However, Jack went over to him, saying, “Do not be sad!

C 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了骄傲的Nick在羽毛球比赛中接连输给Jack，一开始为失败找借口，最后在Jack的开导下明白做人不能骄傲，总有人比自己更优秀的道理，传递了谦逊待人、正视自身不足的人生启示。 【11题详解】 根据第三段中Nick说的话“I am the best of the three of us.”，可以看出Nick非常骄傲自大。 【12题详解】 根据第五段最后一句Nick说的话“I can win if I have a racket as good as yours.”，可知他输球后的借口是球拍不够好。 【13题详解】 根据文章可知，Jack赢了比赛后没有嘲笑Nick，而是通过交换球拍公平地证明事实，最后在Nick失落时安慰他，这体现了Jack的谦逊（Humble）和善良（kind）。 【14题详解】 根据划线句“Let’s swap rackets to play again.”及上下文，Jack为了验证Nick的借口，提议两人“swap”球拍再打一次，结合逻辑可知，“swap”在此处应表示“交换”。 【15题详解】 根据文章最后一句“Nick learned that he should not be too proud because there would always be somebody better than him”，可知文章主旨是“人外有人”，选项A“There is always someone better than you.”符合题意。 B In the world today, there are more than 8 billion (十亿) people.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了新西兰南岛华人社区中的明星David Stringer，他擅长演奏中国传统乐器葫芦丝，并通过音乐促进了文化交流和友谊。 【21题详解】 空前一句提到Stringer在华人社团组织的音乐会上演奏了葫芦丝曲目《竹林深处》。空后没有直接句子，此处应是对这次演出效果的描述。选项F正好承接上文，补充说明了这次表演的反响，起到了承接上文、让叙述更完整的作用。 【22题详解】 空后一句提到“But in recent years, European composers and performers also use it.”。这里的“But”表示转折，暗示空前一句应说明葫芦丝的传统归属或来源。选项A与后文欧洲人使用的情况形成对比。 【23题详解】 空前一句提到朋友送了他一个，第二年他又买了两个。此处应对他拥有的葫芦丝数量进行总结。选项D与前文数量（1+2=3）吻合。 【24题详解】 空前一句提到“Nowadays, many people move to New Zealand.”。空后一句提到“There is a hulusi group”，描述了新西兰华人增多、中国文化氛围变浓的背景。选项 B解释了人口迁移带来的文化影响，从而引出葫芦丝团体的存在，承上启下。 【25题详解】 空前一句提到“I made friends with many Chinese people.”。空后一句提到“I learned a lot from them”。这里讲述了Stringer和中国人交朋友的经历。选项C正好承接上文的“交朋友”，引出后文“从他们身上学到很多”的内容 第Ⅱ卷(共45分) Ⅲ.综合运用(本题10小题，每小题1分，共10分) 阅读下面短文，根据上下文、中英文提示，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内词语的正确形式。 Technology has the power to do many things, including changing the world we live in and the way we live.

Gossip is talking about someone’s private (私人的) life in a way that could hurt or make them uncomfortable if they found out. People often repeat gossip, so it spreads quickly. Sometimes people gossip to be mean to someone they do not like. Sometimes people gossip to show off that they know a secret. Gossip can be true or partly true. Sometimes gossip is not true at all because someone made it up. Repeating it can hurt others. Think about how you would feel if people gossiped about your secrets. However, if you hear about something dangerous—like someone walks on train tracks (铁轨) to school—telling a trusted adult is not gossip; it’s about keeping someone safe. Why It Hurts Gossiping can be uncomfortable, especially when it comes from friends you care about. This kind of negative talk breaks trust, spreads rumors, and can end friendships. How to Deal with It If you want to stop gossip without losing friends, here is some advice: 1. Set Clear Rules Tell your friends honestly that you don’t feel good talking about others’ private lives. If they forget, remind them kindly. Thank them when they respect your rule. This helps build a trusting friendship. 2. Focus on Good News When you chat with your friends, share something positive. Talk about a holiday plan, a fun trip, or an interesting story. Discussing happy things makes gossip less interesting and keeps conversations friendly. 3. Change the Topic If your friends start gossiping, turn to a safe subject. Ask about hobbies, movies, or news. For example, “ ▲ ?” Another more direct way is to say, “This conversation is starting to feel like gossip to me, which makes me uncomfortable, so let’s talk about something else.” 4. Know When to Walk Away “You know, I’d love to chat but…” might be the easiest way to deal with those who gossip. In this way, you can leave them without an ear to hear the things that may make you unhappy. By understanding gossip and using these tips, you can protect yourself and others, building friendships based on kindness and respect instead of rumors and hurt. 36. Gossip (G) or Not (N)? ________a) Talking about something about a new movie you saw with your friend. ________b) Making up a story that your classmate is moving to another city. ________c) Hearing that someone brings a knife or lighter to school and telling a teacher. ________d) Telling many classmates how your friend Li Ming fell asleep during the math test, just to make them laugh. 37. Which phrase (短语) from the text matches the meaning? To act in a way that makes others think you are good or important. _________________________________________________________ 38. What will happen if gossip comes from your friend? _________________________________________________________ 39. What does the word “it” refer to in this sentence? Gossip can be true or partly true. Sometimes gossip is not true at all because someone made it up. _________________________________________________________ 40. Fill in the blank ▲ with a proper (合适的) sentence. _________________________________________________________ 【答案】36. ①. N ②. G ③. N ④. G 37. show off 38. It can be uncomfortable, break trust, spread rumors, and can end friendships. 39. It refers to gossip. 40. What movie have you watched recently 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“流言蜚语”（gossip）的定义、其可能带来的伤害，以及四条应对流言的有效建议（设定明确规则、关注积极话题、转移话题、适时离开），旨在帮助读者建立基于善意和尊重的友谊。 【36题详解】 a) Talking about something about a new movie you saw with your friend.谈论电影不属于谈论他人私生活，不构成gossip。故填N。 b) Making up a story that your classmate is moving to another city.编造关于同学的不实传闻属于gossip。故填G。 c) Hearing that someone brings a knife or lighter to school and telling a teacher.文中明确说明“telling a trusted adult is not gossip; it’s about keeping someone safe”。故填N。 d) Telling many classmates how your friend Li Ming fell asleep during the math test, just to make them laugh.以取笑他人为目的传播他人窘事，属于gossip。故填G。 【37题详解】 第一段中“show off”意为“炫耀”，符合“让他人觉得你厉害或重要”的含义。 【38题详解】 在“Why It Hurts”部分明确指出“This kind of negative talk breaks trust, spreads rumors, and can end friendships.”答案基本上为原文直接信息。 【39题详解】 “made it up”中的“it”指代前文提到的“gossip”。 【40题详解】 在“Change the Topic”部分，需要提出一个安全话题的疑问句，如询问爱好、电影或新闻。开放性问题，合理即可。 B You may know or use Siri or Doubao, but what exactly is AI? AI refers to computer systems that are able to perform tasks that usually require human intelligence. Without realizing it, people all over the world use different forms of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology daily, so it is very important in our lives. The Development of AI In 1950, Alan Turing came up with the “Turing Test”, which marks the start of AI. Then, in 1956, scientists officially made AI a scientific field. Since then, AI has achieved many breakthroughs (突破) —IBM’s “Deep Blue” won against chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997; DeepMind’s AlphaGo beat Go champion Lee Sedol in 2016; and OpenAI created ChatGPT, an AI that can chat like a human in 2022. Today, DeepSeek (Hangzhou), a more powerful and user-friendly AI, provides a detailed thinking process for people. AI Today Today, AI is used worldwide in different ways. In factories, AI does boring work instead of human workers to increase production and reduce costs. Some difficult tasks in space are performed by AI to protect astronauts from dangers. In the field of medicine, AI helps doctors scan X-rays, perform operations, and diagnose (诊断) patients. It seems that AI can take the place of humans in quite a few jobs across different fields. The Future of AI In the future, scientists want AI to use sensors (传感器) to sense smells, tastes, touches, and sounds, and then respond to certain situations. They also want AI to be able to tell how people are feeling by looking at their expressions or listening to their tones (语气). AI is a technology that is developing fast and changing all the time. It will appear more often in our daily lives. 41. Why is AI important in our lives? ____________________________________________________ 42.
