英语人教版新教材八年级上册单元测试题（带答案） Unit 8 Let’s Communicate 一、阅读理解（20小题，共40分） A Have you heard of dazi?          Have you ever found a dazi? These days, finding a dazi is becoming popular with young Chinese people. A dazi is a person we eat with, study with, exercise with or take a trip with, but we don't know him or her before. The dazi culture is about finding the right person to do the right activity with. Xiaoyue, a young woman from Ningxia, has met many dazi because of her love for basketball and biking. Having a dazi not only gives her company but also helps her enjoy sports more. These dazi relationships are very different from close friendships. As for close friends, we need to stay in close contact. With a dazi, you don't have to do so. Many dazi may not meet again after a trip or a game together. So, many people believe having a dazi makes their social life easier and more comfortable. Finding a dazi shows that young Chinese people want clearer boundaries(界限)in their social relationships. Dazi will not talk or ask a lot about their personal lives. And they hope that these relationships can let them share their hobbies and interests, or that they can help them to improve themselves. Although finding a dazi has many good points, we should be careful and put our safety first. 1.How does the writer start the passage? A. By telling a story. B. By asking questions. C. By giving numbers. D. By giving an example. 2.How might Xiaoyue describe having a dazi? A. Serious. B. Difficult. C. Enjoyable. D. Meaningless. 3.What does the underlined word “so” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Having a social life. B. Playing games together. C. Staying in close contact. D. Talking about personal life. 4.Why do young Chinese people like to find a dazi? To improve themselves. To share their hobbies and interests. To save time and money. To have boundaries in their social relationships. A. B. C. D. 5.What's the best title for the passage? A. Some Stories of Dazi B. How We Find a Dazi C. Dazi:special close friends D. Dazi:a new popular culture B One day,Tom's friend Daisy came to him for help.Instead of looking at the phone,he put it down,turned to face her and looked her in the eyes.He nodded from time to time to show he was following along,and asked questions like “How did that make you feel?”to show he was fully into the talk.Tom was called an active listener.Active listening isn't just hearing words—it is a superpower that makes conversations more meaningful. However,in today's world,people often forget that listening is just as important as talking.With busy schedules,it's easy to get distracted(分心的).But active listening helps in two big ways.First,it helps avoid mistakes.If a classmate explains a group project task,active listening makes you know what to do.Second,it helps build real trust.People feel valued when they are truly heard,which helps build up friendships and improves teamwork. To practise active listening,follow some easy steps.Let others finish speaking,and don't cut in. Repeat key points to make sure you have understood.Focus on listening instead of planning your reply,and save your thoughts for later! Next time you talk to family,friends or teachers,try listening with your full attention. When you truly focus on understanding rather than just hearing,you'll find that the quiet power of listening can build connections stronger than a thousand emojis(表情符号). Ready to become someone people love talking to? Your superpower starts when you choose to listen—truly listen—today. 6.How does the writer start the topic? A. By telling a real-life story. B.

D Do animals communicate with each other? How do they communicate with others? I did some research, and to my surprise, I learnt that all animals communicate. They don't use language, but they send messages to each other. Animals communicate with each other in three main ways: through sounds, smells, and body language. The alarm(警报) call is one way. When an enemy is near, animals send out a warning sound. Others hear it and run to a safe place, or get together to fight the enemy. Whales are famous for their ability to communicate from far away with special sounds. In their own social groups, whales understand what they're saying to each other. The smell is another popular way for animals to communicate. Some animals, such as the amoeba(变形虫) send out a smell to tell other amoebas it's going to have babies. Skunks send out an odour when they feel they are in danger. Many animals use body language to communicate. Chimpanzees(黑猩猩) touch hands when they meet. A happy dog moves its tail from side to side. Even people understand this form of a dog's body language. People develop their own ways of communicating, using words and sentences. But if you watch animals carefully, you quickly come to understand that they also have ways of sending their messages. 16.How does the writer start the topic? A. By listing numbers. B. By telling a story. C. By asking questions. D. By showing an old saying. 17.What do the underlined words “an odour” mean? A. A loud sound. B. A terrible smell. C. A bright colour. D. A special shape. 18.What does the writer want to show by giving us the example of dogs? A. Animals can communicate with sounds. B. Animals can communicate with smells. C. Animals can communicate in three ways. D. Animals can communicate with body language. 19.What's the structure(结构) of the text?(Paragraph 1=, Paragraph 2=... ) A. B. C. D. 20.What's the best title for the text? A. How to Protect Animals B. How Animals Communicate C. Why Body Language Matters D. What Animals Can Communicate 二、补全对话（5小题，共10分） Ann:Hello,Ted.How did you feel about the dinner last night? Ted:   (21)     The food was good,but there wasn't much communication among us.

The result shows that 18% of the young students in Shanghai have mental (心理的) problems. Su Mei, a 14-year-old school girl, is very afraid of exams. Though she studies the hardest in her class, she can't pass the exams. She can't think of anything while she is having an exam. Now she is so worried about the coming exam that she can't sleep well for days. Lucy is a middle school student and she comes from a poor family. She does well in her studies. But she doesn't have enough money to buy beautiful clothes and her classmates always laugh at her. She hardly has a friend. So she always feels sad. She says that one day she might leave her home without telling her parents. Those children with mental problems don't go and ask for help. They worry that others will laugh at them if they go to see a doctor. How to help those children? Mr Ma, a famous expert, says that the most important thing that parents and teachers should do is to care more about children. And trying to be their friends is also necessary. 46.Where did Dr Martin make a survey? _______________________________________________________________________________ 47.What is Su Mei very afraid of? _______________________________________________________________________________ 48.How does Lucy always feel? _______________________________________________________________________________ 49.Why don't children with mental problems go to see a doctor? _______________________________________________________________________________ 50.What does Mr Ma think is the most important thing for parents and teachers? _______________________________________________________________________________ 六、书面表达（1小题，共20分） 由于初中生正处于青春期的特殊阶段,他们经常面临沟通困难的问题。沉默寡言、情绪化、不善表达等都是比较普遍的现象。为了解决这个问题,育英中学特邀青少年教育专家Professor Wang为学生和家长做一场关于“Improving Teenagers' Communication Skills”的演讲。假如你是该校学生会主席,负责代表学校给家长和学生写邀请函,请你根据下列写作要点和要求,结合实际,用英语写一封邀请函。 要点:(1)When and where will the speech take place?
