开学摸底卷 （江苏泰州专用）2026-2027学年 译林版 八年级英语上册 解析卷 （考试时间：100分钟 试卷满分：120分） 注意事项： 1．本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答第Ⅰ卷时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。写在本试卷上无效。 3．回答第Ⅱ卷时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第Ⅰ卷 选择题（满分65分） 一、单项选择（本大题有10小题，每小题1分，共10分） 1．When I was seven, I ________ camp by the lake. A．can B．could C．will D．am 【答案】B 【详解】句意：当我七岁的时候，我能在湖边露营。 can能；could能（过去式）；will将要；am是。根据“When I was seven”可知，句子描述的是过去的事情，应用一般过去时，could是can的过去式。故填could。 2．It ________ five years since we first met. A．is B．was C．has been D．both A and C 【答案】D 【详解】句意：我们第一次相识到现在已经五年了。 “It is/has been+时间段+since+一般过去时句子”表示“自从……以来，已经过去了多久”。“It is five years since we first met.”符合要求：主句用一般现在时is，是固定表达；since从句必须用一般过去时met（初次见面是过去动作）；“It has been five years since we first met.”亦符合要求：主句用现在完成时has been，强调“从过去持续到现在累计时长”。所以选项A和C均正确。 3．I have ________ finished my homework. I can go out to play. A．yet B．already C．never D．ever 【答案】B 【详解】句意：我已经完成我的作业了，我能出去玩了。 yet还，already已经，never从不，ever曾经。根据“I have finished”可知，本句用的是现在完成时。根据“I can go out to play”可知，我能出去玩了，说明我的作业已经写完了。已经“already”符合题意。故选B。 4．I think ________ is important for us to protect the earth. A．this B．that C．it D．one 【答案】C 【详解】句意：我认为保护地球对我们来说是很重要的。 this这；that那；it它；one一个。此处考查固定句型“It is + adj. + for sb. + to do sth.”，其中it作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式to protect the earth。故选C。 5．________ is waiting for you outside. I don’t know who he is. A．Anyone B．Someone C．Everyone D．Anything 【答案】B 【详解】句意：有人正在外面等你。我不知道他是谁。 Anyone任何人；Someone某人；Everyone每个人；Anything任何事。根据后句“I don’t know who he is.”可知，确实有一个人在等，只是不知道身份，表示肯定的“某人”，应填Someone。 6．________ exciting celebration it was! We all had a great time. A．What B．What an C．How D．How an 【答案】B 【详解】句意：这是一个多么令人兴奋的庆祝活动啊！我们都玩得很开心。 中心词celebration是单数可数名词，应用What引导感叹句；修饰词exciting以元音音素开头，前面需用不定冠词an。符合”What+an+形容词+名词单数+主+谓”的感叹句结构。 7．We didn’t have enough money, so we bought ________. A．something B．anything C．nothing D．everything 【答案】C 【详解】句意：我们没有足够的钱，所以我们什么都没买。 something某物；anything任何事物；nothing没有什么；everything一切。根据前半句“We didn’t have enough money”可知，因为钱不够，所以推断出什么都没买，应该填nothing。 8．—Do you think robots will take the place of humans in the future? —________. Robots are just tools for people. A．Yes, they will B．No, they won’t C．I hope so D．I’m not sure 【答案】B 【详解】句意：——你认为未来机器人会取代人类吗？——不，它们不会。机器人只是人类的工具。 Yes, they will是的，它们会；No, they won’t不，它们不会；I hope so我希望如此；I’m not sure我不确定。根据答语“Robots are just tools for people.”可知，机器人只是工具，不会取代人类，因此应对一般疑问句作否定回答，应填No, they won’t。 9．________ of the students volunteer to pack books for the activity. A．Fifty percent B．Fifty percents C．Fifty percentes D．Percent fifty 【答案】A 【详解】句意：百分之五十的学生志愿为这个活动打包书籍。 “percent”表示“百分之……”，无复数形式，且通常与具体数字连用，置于数字后。应填Fifty percent。 10．Which of the following sentences has the same structure as “I saw some kids kicking the ball.” ? A．Hobo is building a tent. B．The rain was falling the whole night. C．He advised me to make notes. D．I bought him a toy train. 【答案】C 【详解】句意：下面哪个句子和 “I saw some kids kicking the ball.” 句子结构相同？ “I saw some kids kicking the ball.”的句子结构为“S＋V＋DO＋OC”，“Hobo is building a tent.”结构为“S＋V＋O”；“The rain was falling the whole night.”结构为“S＋V”；“He advised me to make notes.”结构为“S＋V＋DO＋OC”；“I bought him a toy train.”结构为“S＋V＋IO＋DO”。应填He advised me to make notes. 二、完形填空（本大题有15小题，每小题1分，共15分） Many earthquakes happen every year.

What will life be like in the year 2050? Let’s look at some predictions. First, transportation will be very different. Cars will run on clean energy and most of them will be driverless. People can sit back and relax while the car takes them to their destination. There will also be more high-speed trains connecting cities, making travel faster and easier. Second, technology will play a bigger role in our daily life. Smart homes will be common. People can control the lights, temperature and even cookers with their phones. Robots will help with housework, such as cleaning, washing dishes and taking care of the elderly. Third, the environment will be better protected. People will use more renewable energy like solar and wind power. Factories will produce less pollution because of stricter environmental laws. There will be more forests and green spaces in cities, making the air cleaner. Education will also change. Students can study at home through online courses taught by top teachers from all over the world. They can also use virtual reality (虚拟现实) to have interesting and interactive lessons, which will make learning more fun. In 2050, people will live longer and healthier lives. Medical technology will be more advanced. Doctors can cure many diseases that are incurable today. People will pay more attention to healthy eating and regular exercise. No one knows exactly what the future will be like, but one thing is certain: it will be full of surprises. We should work hard to make the future better. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 26．What will most cars be like in 2050? A．They will run on oil. B．They will be driverless. C．They will be more expensive.

D．Travel will be more difficult in 2050. 【答案】26．B 27．C 28．D 29．B 30．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，对2050年的生活做出多方面预测，从交通、科技、环境、教育、医疗几个维度畅想未来生活，最后提出我们应当努力创造更美好的未来。 【详解】26．原文第二段提到“Cars will run on clean energy and most of them will be driverless.”，说明2050年大多数汽车将是无人驾驶的。 27．原文第三段提到“People can control the lights, temperature and even cookers with their phones.”，人们可以使用手机操控智能家居。 28．原文第四段提到“People will use more renewable energy like solar and wind power.”，人们将会更多使用太阳能、风能这类可再生能源。 29．原文第五段提到“Students can study at home through online courses taught by top teachers from all over the world.”，可以看出线上课程将会十分普遍。 30．全文介绍无人驾驶汽车、智能家居、线上网课、先进医疗等科技成果，能够推断：科技将会让生活更加便利；A、B、D均与原文内容相反。 B It is clear that the world will be a very different place in 2045. So what’s going to happen then? It’s pretty likely that robots and AI technology will change a lot of industries. Also, self-driving and flying cars will come into our daily life, bringing us much convenience (便利). However, scientists have even bigger ideas. In Forward to the Future, a video series, three researchers predicted what they imagined would become real in 2045. Dr. Justin Sanchez believes we’ll be at a point where we can control things simply by using our mind. “Imagine a world where you could just use your thoughts to control your environment,” Justin said. According to him, experts are working on certain technologies that can make this happen. They’ve made some progress already. The future has more than just that. Many other exciting things could change the buildings and other objects around us, says Stefanie Tompkins. “We’ll be able to build things that are very strong but also lightweight. We don’t even know the materials around us,” she predicted. Pam Melroy believes we’re going to find that we have a very different relationship with the machines around us. “I think we’ll begin to see a time when we’re able to control a machine just by pressing a button or only saying some simple words,” she said. For example, right now to land a plane safely, a pilot has to go through many steps in the right order. But in 2045, in Pam’s words, a pilot may just need to say the words “prepare for landing”. Then the computer knows the steps it needs to take. Or perhaps, with AI, a pilot won’t even be necessary. These ideas might sound like science fiction now, but they show the direction technology is heading. The future is being built by today’s scientists and dreamers. 31．What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A．To list all future technologies. B．To introduce the topic of future life. C．To compare different scientists’ ideas. D．To explain how robots change jobs. 32．What does the underlined word “this” refer to in Paragraph 3? A．Making progress in AI technology. B．Driving flying cars in our daily life. C．Controlling things by using our mind. D．Using robots in different industries. 33．According to Stefanie Tompkins, what will future materials be like? A．Common and cheap. B．Strong and heavy. C．Beautiful and expensive. D．Unknown and light. 34．Which picture shows how a pilot might land a plane in 2045? A． B． C． D． 35．What would be the best title for the passage? A．Famous Scientists in Technologies B．Look Into the Life in 2045 C．New Kinds of Building Materials D．Challenges for AI in the future 【答案】31．B 32．C 33．D 34．A 35．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了科学家对未来（2045年）生活的预测，包括用思维控制环境、新型轻质高强度材料、简化机器操作方式等，展示了科技发展的方向。 【详解】31．第一段通过“what’s going to happen then?”引出话题，并列举了机器人和自动驾驶汽车等例子，目的是引出“未来生活”这一主题。 32．第三段中Justin Sanchez说“we can control things simply by using our mind”，随后说“experts are working on certain technologies that can make this happen”，因此“this”指代“用思维控制事物”。 33．第四段Stefanie Tompkins说“We’ll be able to build things that are very strong but also lightweight. We don’t even know the materials around us”，说明未来材料的特点是“未知且轻便”。 34．第五段Pam Melroy预测到2045年，飞行员只需说出“prepare for landing”，计算机就会自动完成一系列步骤，因此图中应表现为“飞行员说话→电脑自动操作”。与图片A匹配。 35．全文围绕科学家对2045年未来生活的预测展开，因此最佳标题为“展望2045年的生活”。 C Taking a nap (午睡) is a good way for students to relax after lunch. To make it more comfortable, many middle and high schools use foldable (可折叠的) desks and chairs. However, not all of these desks and chairs are well designed— some are the wrong size or shape, and their poor design may even cause discomfort or harm to students. To solve this, a new national rule came out on Sept. 2, 2025. It explains clearly how to make and use foldable desks and chairs correctly. In primary schools, desks should be between 45.5 cm and 73 cm tall. In middle schools, they should be between 56.5 cm and 79 cm tall. Chairs should be at least 36 cm wide to help students sit well. For naps, the chairs can be turned into a bed. A bed should be at least 105 cm long, and the backrest (靠背) should lean (倾斜) back more than 135 degrees. The desks and chairs must also be strong. For example, a chair can be folded up to 10,000 times. ________ If pencil mark gets on them, students should be able to clean it with an eraser. The new rule will take effect on Feb. 1 next year. Before that, experts said that schools still need to think about a few things. For example, do the new desks fit in different classrooms? And are they good for classes with many students? 36．Why do many middle and high schools use foldable desks and chairs? A．To make students’ naps more comfortable. B．To save more space in classrooms. C．To make classrooms look more beautiful. D．To let students move them easily. 37．According to the passage, how wide should the chairs be at least? A．36 cm. B．45.5 cm. C．56.5 cm. D．79 cm. 38．Which of the following can be put in ________? A．In fact, they are not strong enough for some students. B．Therefore, they are very popular in schools now. C．For example, they come in many different colors. D．They should also be easy to clean. 39．When will the new national rule take effect? A．On Feb. 2 next year. B．On Sept. 2 next year. C．On Feb. 1 next year. D．On Sept. 1 next year. 40．What’s the passage mainly about? A．A new rule on safe nap-friendly desks and chairs. B．How to sleep longer during students’ naps. C．Why students dislike old desks. D．Problems of old foldable desks and chairs. 【答案】36．A 37．A 38．D 39．C 40．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了因为很多校园可折叠午睡桌椅存在设计缺陷，国家专门出台了关于可折叠午睡桌椅的制作使用规范，明确了相关标准与生效时间。 【详解】36．第一段“To make it more comfortable, many middle and high schools use foldable desks and chairs.”，学校使用可折叠桌椅是为了让学生的午睡更舒适。 37．第二段“Chairs should be at least 36 cm wide to help students sit well.”，按照规定，椅子的最小宽度要求是36厘米。 38．第三段，空格前提到桌椅必须坚固，空格后提到“If pencil mark gets on them, students should be able to clean it with an eraser.”，因此空格处内容和“易于清洁”相关，D选项符合语境逻辑。 39．第四段“The new rule will take effect on Feb. 1 next year.”，新规定的生效时间为明年2月1日。 40．通读全文，本文核心围绕针对适配午睡的折叠桌椅出台的全新国家规范展开，介绍了规则出台的背景、具体要求与生效时间，A选项“针对安全适配午睡的折叠桌椅出台的新规定”符合文章主旨。 D A survey was done among 1,000 middle school students about their future jobs. Here are the results. 30% of the students want to be doctors. They think doctors can help people stay healthy and save lives. 25% want to be teachers because they like working with children. 15% hope to be scientists. They want to invent new things to make people’s lives better. 10% want to be engineers. They think building new buildings and bridges is exciting. 20% have other dreams, like being artists, pilots or writers. Most students say they will work hard to make their dreams come true. They plan to study more science and math, read more books about their dream jobs, and take part in related activities. For example, students who want to be doctors will volunteer in hospitals to learn more about medicine. 41．How many students want to be doctors in the survey? A．300. B．250. C．150. D．100. 42．Why do some students want to be teachers? A．Because they like helping people. B．Because they like working with children. C．Because they want to invent new things.

They want to invent new things to make people’s lives better”，直接说明想要成为科学家的学生希望发明新事物来改善人们的生活。 44．文章第三段阐述学生圆梦计划的内容时指出：“They plan to study more science and math, read more books about their dream jobs, and take part in related activities”，涵盖了前三个选项的全部内容，因此“以上所有选项”的表述是正确的。 45．文章第二段介绍其余职业理想的内容时指出：“20% have other dreams, like being artists, pilots or writers”，直接说明有20%的学生拥有其他的职业梦想，其余三个选项的表述均和原文内容不符。 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（满分55分） 四、任务型阅读 （共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分） Have you ever seen capybaras (水豚)? They were thought to be a kind of pig in the past, but now we know that they are the largest rodents (啮齿动物) on the earth. Guess what? They are new stars on social media now! Seeing them in the wild, you might be surprised at first because they look like giant guinea pigs, which are in fact one of their closest relatives. Capybaras’ bodies are covered in reddish-brown fur. When swimming around, thanks to their small eyes, noses and hairless ears which are high on their heads, they’re able to see the above-water things around them. That’s why they can protect themselves from danger easily. A capybara weighs around 50 kilograms and it can grow to 1.5 meters in length. Female capybaras are usually a little heavier than the males. Most of them live in South America and like to stay in comfortable places with lots of water. Pantanal, the world’s largest freshwater wetland, is a perfect place for them to live. Capybaras usually eat grass. But they sometimes eat their own poop (排泄物) because it is helpful for them to get all the things they need. Capybaras are good swimmers and love to play with water. They usually live in groups of 10 to 20 (and up to 100 during the dry season). They also like chatting with each other very much. They express themselves by making different kinds of sounds, including purring, barking, whistling, cackling and grunting. Each sound has an important meaning, from warning the group of danger to sending signals of leaving. It’s like a capybara language. With good personalities, capybaras have become increasingly popular on social media. They get along with almost all the other animals and share their homes with birds and turtles, just like a big animal family living together peacefully. They are calm and don’t really care about what goes on around them. Other animals can do whatever they feel like if they don’t hurt the capybaras. But if capybaras are aware of a risk, they may attack others to protect themselves. Social media’s new stars—Capybaras Introduction People used to 46 capybaras were a kind of pig, but now we know they are the largest rodents on the earth. 47 Capybaras look 48 to giant guinea pigs which are their closest relatives. Covered with reddish-brown fur, the male capybaras are not usually as 49 as the female ones. Living 50 &food Most of them can be in comfortable places with much water in South America. They live 51 on grass, while eating their own poop is of some help. Abilities Capybaras are good at 52 and like chatting. They 53 in their own way, which is like a capybara language. Personalities Capybaras are friendly, calm, and care 54 about what goes on around them. They will take 55 when being aware of a risk. 【答案】 46．think 47．Looks/Appearance 48．similar 49．heavy 50．conditions 51．mainly 52．swimming 53．chat/communicate 54．little 55．action 【导语】本文科普了网红动物水豚，依次介绍了它的物种归类、外形特征、栖息饮食、生存技能与温顺的性格。 【详解】46．根据原文第一段“They were thought to be a kind of pig in the past”，原文过去人们误以为水豚是猪，used to后用动词原形think。 47．本段介绍水豚外形、皮毛、体型，所以小标题填Looks/Appearance。 48．根据原文第二段“they look like giant guinea pigs”，水豚和giant guinea pigs看起来很像，固定搭配look similar to表示“看起来像”。 49．根据原文第二段“Female capybaras are usually a little heavier than the males”，雌性比雄性更重，as…as中间要用形容词原级heavy。 50．本段讲栖息地和食物，所以小标题填conditions。 51．根据原文第三段“Capybaras usually eat grass”，usually表示“通常”，副词mainly修饰动词live。 52．根据原文第四段“Capybaras are good swimmers”，be good at后接动名词，swimmers对应动词swim的动名词swimming。 53．根据原文第四段“They express themselves by making different kinds of sounds”，水豚通过各类声音表达自身，同义替换为动词chat/communicate表示“交流”。 54．根据原文最后一段“They are calm and don’t really care about what goes on around them”，原文不在意周遭，固定搭配care little about表示“几乎不在乎”。 55．根据原文最后一段“they may attack others to protect themselves”，察觉危险会主动攻击自保，对应固定搭配take action，表示“采取行动”。 五、语篇填空 （共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读短文，在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 What will life be like in 20 years?

What will life be like in the year 2050? Let’s look at some predictions. First, transportation will be very different. Cars will run on clean energy and most of them will be driverless. People can sit back and relax while the car takes them to their destination. There will also be more high-speed trains connecting cities, making travel faster and easier. Second, technology will play a bigger role in our daily life. Smart homes will be common. People can control the lights, temperature and even cookers with their phones. Robots will help with housework, such as cleaning, washing dishes and taking care of the elderly. Third, the environment will be better protected. People will use more renewable energy like solar and wind power. Factories will produce less pollution because of stricter environmental laws. There will be more forests and green spaces in cities, making the air cleaner. Education will also change. Students can study at home through online courses taught by top teachers from all over the world. They can also use virtual reality (虚拟现实) to have interesting and interactive lessons, which will make learning more fun. In 2050, people will live longer and healthier lives. Medical technology will be more advanced. Doctors can cure many diseases that are incurable today. People will pay more attention to healthy eating and regular exercise. No one knows exactly what the future will be like, but one thing is certain: it will be full of surprises. We should work hard to make the future better. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 26．What will most cars be like in 2050? A．They will run on oil. B．They will be driverless. C．They will be more expensive. D．They will be bigger. 27．How can people control smart homes in 2050? A．With their voices. B．With computers. C．With phones. D．With robots. 28．What kind of energy will people use more in 2050? A．Coal. B．Oil. C．Gas. D．Solar power. 29．What will education be like in 2050? A．Students will only study at school. B．Online courses will be common. C．Teachers will not be needed. D．Lessons will be more boring. 30．What can we infer from the passage? A．People will have shorter lives in 2050. B．The environment will be worse in 2050. C．Technology will make life more convenient. D．Travel will be more difficult in 2050. B It is clear that the world will be a very different place in 2045. So what’s going to happen then? It’s pretty likely that robots and AI technology will change a lot of industries. Also, self-driving and flying cars will come into our daily life, bringing us much convenience (便利). However, scientists have even bigger ideas. In Forward to the Future, a video series, three researchers predicted what they imagined would become real in 2045. Dr. Justin Sanchez believes we’ll be at a point where we can control things simply by using our mind. “Imagine a world where you could just use your thoughts to control your environment,” Justin said. According to him, experts are working on certain technologies that can make this happen. They’ve made some progress already. The future has more than just that. Many other exciting things could change the buildings and other objects around us, says Stefanie Tompkins. “We’ll be able to build things that are very strong but also lightweight. We don’t even know the materials around us,” she predicted. Pam Melroy believes we’re going to find that we have a very different relationship with the machines around us. “I think we’ll begin to see a time when we’re able to control a machine just by pressing a button or only saying some simple words,” she said. For example, right now to land a plane safely, a pilot has to go through many steps in the right order. But in 2045, in Pam’s words, a pilot may just need to say the words “prepare for landing”. Then the computer knows the steps it needs to take. Or perhaps, with AI, a pilot won’t even be necessary. These ideas might sound like science fiction now, but they show the direction technology is heading. The future is being built by today’s scientists and dreamers. 31．What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A．To list all future technologies. B．To introduce the topic of future life. C．To compare different scientists’ ideas. D．To explain how robots change jobs. 32．What does the underlined word “this” refer to in Paragraph 3? A．Making progress in AI technology. B．Driving flying cars in our daily life. C．Controlling things by using our mind. D．Using robots in different industries. 33．According to Stefanie Tompkins, what will future materials be like? A．Common and cheap. B．Strong and heavy. C．Beautiful and expensive. D．Unknown and light. 34．Which picture shows how a pilot might land a plane in 2045? A． B． C． D． 35．What would be the best title for the passage? A．Famous Scientists in Technologies B．Look Into the Life in 2045 C．New Kinds of Building Materials D．Challenges for AI in the future C Taking a nap (午睡) is a good way for students to relax after lunch. To make it more comfortable, many middle and high schools use foldable (可折叠的) desks and chairs. However, not all of these desks and chairs are well designed— some are the wrong size or shape, and their poor design may even cause discomfort or harm to students. To solve this, a new national rule came out on Sept. 2, 2025. It explains clearly how to make and use foldable desks and chairs correctly. In primary schools, desks should be between 45.5 cm and 73 cm tall. In middle schools, they should be between 56.5 cm and 79 cm tall. Chairs should be at least 36 cm wide to help students sit well. For naps, the chairs can be turned into a bed. A bed should be at least 105 cm long, and the backrest (靠背) should lean (倾斜) back more than 135 degrees. The desks and chairs must also be strong. For example, a chair can be folded up to 10,000 times. ________ If pencil mark gets on them, students should be able to clean it with an eraser. The new rule will take effect on Feb. 1 next year. Before that, experts said that schools still need to think about a few things. For example, do the new desks fit in different classrooms? And are they good for classes with many students? 36．Why do many middle and high schools use foldable desks and chairs? A．To make students’ naps more comfortable. B．To save more space in classrooms. C．To make classrooms look more beautiful. D．To let students move them easily. 37．According to the passage, how wide should the chairs be at least? A．36 cm. B．45.5 cm. C．56.5 cm. D．79 cm. 38．Which of the following can be put in ________? A．In fact, they are not strong enough for some students. B．Therefore, they are very popular in schools now. C．For example, they come in many different colors. D．They should also be easy to clean. 39．When will the new national rule take effect? A．On Feb. 2 next year. B．On Sept. 2 next year. C．On Feb. 1 next year. D．On Sept. 1 next year. 40．What’s the passage mainly about? A．A new rule on safe nap-friendly desks and chairs. B．How to sleep longer during students’ naps. C．Why students dislike old desks. D．Problems of old foldable desks and chairs. D A survey was done among 1,000 middle school students about their future jobs. Here are the results. 30% of the students want to be doctors. They think doctors can help people stay healthy and save lives. 25% want to be teachers because they like working with children. 15% hope to be scientists. They want to invent new things to make people’s lives better. 10% want to be engineers. They think building new buildings and bridges is exciting. 20% have other dreams, like being artists, pilots or writers. Most students say they will work hard to make their dreams come true. They plan to study more science and math, read more books about their dream jobs, and take part in related activities. For example, students who want to be doctors will volunteer in hospitals to learn more about medicine. 41．How many students want to be doctors in the survey? A．300. B．250. C．150. D．100. 42．Why do some students want to be teachers? A．Because they like helping people. B．Because they like working with children. C．Because they want to invent new things. D．Because they think it’s exciting. 43．What do students who want to be scientists hope to do? A．Help people stay healthy. B．Work with children. C．Invent new things. D．Build buildings. 44．What will most students do to make their dreams come true? A．Study more science and math. B．Read more books about their dream jobs. C．Take part in related activities. D．All of the above. 45．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．10% of the students want to be artists. B．Students who want to be doctors will volunteer in schools. C．20% of the students have other dreams. D．No students want to be pilots. 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（满分55分） 四、任务型阅读 （共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分） Have you ever seen capybaras (水豚)? They were thought to be a kind of pig in the past, but now we know that they are the largest rodents (啮齿动物) on the earth. Guess what? They are new stars on social media now! Seeing them in the wild, you might be surprised at first because they look like giant guinea pigs, which are in fact one of their closest relatives. Capybaras’ bodies are covered in reddish-brown fur. When swimming around, thanks to their small eyes, noses and hairless ears which are high on their heads, they’re able to see the above-water things around them. That’s why they can protect themselves from danger easily. A capybara weighs around 50 kilograms and it can grow to 1.5 meters in length. Female capybaras are usually a little heavier than the males. Most of them live in South America and like to stay in comfortable places with lots of water. Pantanal, the world’s largest freshwater wetland, is a perfect place for them to live. Capybaras usually eat grass. But they sometimes eat their own poop (排泄物) because it is helpful for them to get all the things they need. Capybaras are good swimmers and love to play with water. They usually live in groups of 10 to 20 (and up to 100 during the dry season). They also like chatting with each other very much. They express themselves by making different kinds of sounds, including purring, barking, whistling, cackling and grunting. Each sound has an important meaning, from warning the group of danger to sending signals of leaving. It’s like a capybara language. With good personalities, capybaras have become increasingly popular on social media. They get along with almost all the other animals and share their homes with birds and turtles, just like a big animal family living together peacefully. They are calm and don’t really care about what goes on around them. Other animals can do whatever they feel like if they don’t hurt the capybaras. But if capybaras are aware of a risk, they may attack others to protect themselves. Social media’s new stars—Capybaras Introduction People used to 46 capybaras were a kind of pig, but now we know they are the largest rodents on the earth. 47 Capybaras look 48 to giant guinea pigs which are their closest relatives. Covered with reddish-brown fur, the male capybaras are not usually as 49 as the female ones. Living 50 &food Most of them can be in comfortable places with much water in South America. They live 51 on grass, while eating their own poop is of some help. Abilities Capybaras are good at 52 and like chatting. They 53 in their own way, which is like a capybara language. Personalities Capybaras are friendly, calm, and care 54 about what goes on around them. They will take 55 when being aware of a risk. 五、语篇填空 （共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读短文，在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 What will life be like in 20 years? It’s a common question that many teenagers ask.
