2025-2026学年译林英语八年级上学期期中模拟练习（四） 一、单项选择 1. —What’s wrong with your feet, Linda? —The shoes are________ and they make my feet hurt. A. incomplete B. impolite C. uncomfortable D. untidy 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——琳达，你的脚怎么了？——鞋子很不舒服，它们让我的脚疼。 incomplete不完整的；impolite不礼貌的；uncomfortable不舒服的；untidy不整洁的。根据“they make my feet hurt”可知鞋子让脚疼，说明穿着不舒服。 2. She said she was fine, but to tell the________, she felt a little sad. A. story B. lie C. joke D. truth 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：她说她很好，但说实话，她感到有点难过。 story故事；lie谎言；joke笑话；truth真相。根据“but”可知前后句意转折，前面说没事，后面说难过，“to tell the truth”意为“说实话”，符合语境。应填truth。 3. Little Sam didn’t stop crying when he saw his mother. ________, he cried harder. A. Once B. Instead C. Still D. Almost 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：小萨姆看到妈妈时没有停止哭泣。相反，他哭得更厉害了。 Once“曾经/一旦”；Instead“相反/反而”；Still“仍然”；Almost“几乎”。根据前句“didn’t stop crying”和后句“cried harder”可知，实际情况与预期相反，表示“反而”，instead 符合语境。 4. It’s getting dark outside. You’d better________ home alone. Tell your parents to pick you up. A. not go B. not to go C. go D. to go 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：外面天黑了。你最好不要独自回家。叫你父母来接你。 根据前句“It’s getting dark outside.”以及后句“Tell your parents to pick you up.”可知，出于安全考虑，说话者在劝阻对方“最好不要独自回家”，应使用否定含义。表示“最好（不要）做某事”应用固定结构“had better (not) +动词原形”（其中had better常缩写为’d better），其否定结构为“had better not+动词原形”，因此空处应填not go。 5. —Tom is not ________ of the danger of swimming in the lake. Go and tell him about it. A. proud B. aware C. sure D. tired 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——汤姆没有意识到在湖里游泳的危险。去告诉他这件事。 proud骄傲的；aware意识到的；sure确定的；tired疲倦的。根据“Go and tell him about it.”可知需要去告诉汤姆，说明他没有意识到危险，be aware of 意为“意识到”，符合语境。 6. —________ will the rain last? —Till next Friday. A. How much B. How long C. How many D. How soon 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——雨会持续多长时间？——直到下周五。 How much多少、多少钱（用于提问价格或不可数名词数量）；How long多长、多长时间（用于提问时间段或空间长度）；How many多少（用于提问可数名词复数的数量）；How soon多久以后（用于提问“过多长时间”，常用于一般将来时，回答常用“in+时间段”结构）。根据问句中的谓语动词“last”以及答语“Till next Friday”可知，此处是在对雨水持续的“时间长度”进行提问。对持续的时间段进行提问应用疑问短语how long，置于句首首字母需大写，应填How long。 7. —More and more people buy new energy vehicles (新能源车) now. —Yes. They are friendlier to the environment, and are ________ before. A. not as expensive as B. not as more expensive as C. not as cheaper as D. not as cheap as 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——现在越来越多的人购买新能源车。——是的。它们更环保，而且不像以前那么贵。 as...as中间需用形容词原级，选项B和C使用了比较级，语法错误，排除；根据“越来越多的人购买”可知价格下降，A项符合“不如以前贵”的语境，D项意为“不如以前便宜”，不合逻辑。 8. —I don’t want to practice speaking English every morning. —I think you ________. Practice makes perfect. A. should B. can C. may D. will 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我不想每天早上练习说英语。——我认为你应该（练习）。熟能生巧。 should应该；can能；may可能；will将要。根据“Practice makes perfect.”可知，说话人是在建议对方坚持练习，表示“应该”做某事。应填should。 9. Mary cares a lot about others’ feelings, so she always________ with everyone around her. A. gets up B. gets away C. gets along D. gets together 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：玛丽非常在乎别人的感受，所以她总是和周围的每一个人相处得很好。 gets up起床；gets away逃脱、离开；gets along相处（固定搭配“get along with sb.”意为“与某人相处”）；gets together相聚、聚集。根据“Mary cares a lot about others’ feelings”可知，玛丽是一个非常顾及他人感受的人，因此她能够和周围的每个人“相处融洽”。表示“与某人相处”应用固定搭配“get along with sb.”，因主语Mary为单数第三人称，动词应用单三形式gets along。 10. —Did you know Linda passed the piano exam? —________. She practices two hours every day. A. It can’t be true B. That’s amazing C. It comes as no surprise D. I can’t believe it 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你知道琳达通过钢琴考试了吗？——这并不让人感到意外。她每天都练习两个小时。 It can’t be true.这不可能是真的；That’s amazing.那太棒了/太令人惊叹了；It comes as no surprise.这并不让人感到意外/完全是意料之中的事；I can’t believe it.我真不敢相信。根据答语中的“She practices two hours every day.”可知，琳达平时付出了极大的努力，因此她顺利通过钢琴考试属于理所应当、顺理成章的事情。在四个选项中，“It comes as no surprise”意为“这不足为奇/这并不令人感到意外”，与后文解释其通过的必然原因在语意逻辑上完美契合，应填It comes as no surprise。 二、完形填空 “Why did Sally tell it to everyone?” I didn’t know the answer years ago.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述作者因误会失去好友Sally，得知真相后深感后悔，明白了朋友间信任与沟通的重要性。 【11题详解】 句意：而且我依然无法忘记那一天——我失去我最好朋友的那一天。 结合最后一句“Sometimes, one small mistake can destroy the friendship.”可知，作者和好朋友友谊破裂，所以作者失去了好朋友，lost“失去”符合语境；touched“触摸”，respected “尊重”，saved“拯救”，均不符合语境。 【12题详解】 句意：她很容易交谈，所以我们很快成为了亲密的朋友。 结合前文“She was easy to talk to”可知，Sally很好相处，所以二人很快成了亲密的朋友，close“亲密的”符合语境；different“不同的”，traditional“传统的”，similar“相似的”，均不符合语境。 【13题详解】 句意：我从未想过她后来会伤我这么深。 根据“that she would hurt me so much later”可知，此处介绍作者的看法或想法，thought“想，认为”符合语境；added“增加”，meant“意味着”，checked“检查”，均不符合语境。 【14题详解】 句意：Sally是我认识的最体贴人的人。 根据“She was always ready to help me…”可知，Sally总是乐意帮助作者，说明她乐于助人、关心他人，caring“乐于助人的，关心他人的，体贴人的”符合语境；humorous“幽默的”，creative“有创意的”，honest“诚实的”，均不符合语境。 【15题详解】 句意：她总是乐于帮助我，并且有足够的耐心听我说话。 根据“patient enough to”并结合选项可知，Sally非常有耐心，愿意听作者诉说，listen to“听”符合“亲密朋友”的语境；depend on“依赖”，learn from“向……学习”，worry about“担心”，均不符合语境。 【16题详解】 句意：也许那就是我想和她分享一切的原因。 前文指出Sally很体贴人，后文指出作者告诉其转学的事情，所以此处指作者和Sally分享一切，share“分享”符合语境；provide“提供”，spread“传播”，celebrate“庆祝”，均不符合语境。 【17题详解】 句意：我甚至告诉了她我转学到这所学校的原因——我爸爸破产了，我们不得不搬到这里。 后文“my dad went bankrupt”是作者转学的原因，即：为什么转学，why“为什么”符合语境；how“怎么样”，when“什么时候”，what“什么”，均不符合语境。 【18题详解】 句意：我甚至告诉了她我转学到这所学校的原因——我爸爸破产了，我们不得不搬到这里。 根据“my dad went bankrupt (破产的)”可知，因为破产不得不搬到这里，had to“不得不”，表示客观原因导致的被迫行为；had better最好；could能够；should应该，均不符合语境。 【19题详解】 句意：每当我走过走廊，孩子们就会看着我大声地笑。 根据“But the next day, the whole school knew it.”可知，孩子们得知作者转学到这里的原因后嘲笑作者，laugh“笑”符合语境；pass“经过”，agree“同意”，breathe“呼吸”，均不符合语境。 【20题详解】 句意：我确信Sally把这件事告诉了别人，因为只有她知道这个秘密。 前文指出作者将自己转学的原因告诉了Sally，这属于私事，不想让其他人知道，secret“秘密”符合语境；task“任务”，plan“计划”，character“性格”，均不符合语境。 【21题详解】 句意：我感到很难过，并且不再和她说话。 根据“I felt really…and didn’t talk to her any more.”可知，作者心情不好，sad“难过的”符合语境；excited“激动的”，calm“冷静的”，relaxed“放松的”，均不符合语境。 【22题详解】 句意：她给我打了很多次电话，但我没接电话。 根据“She called me many times”和“I didn’t answer the phone”可知，空格前后为转折关系——虽然Sally打了很多次电话，但是作者都没有接，but“但是”符合语境。if“如果”，so“所以”，before“在……之前”，均不符合语境。 【23题详解】 句意：Mary听到了你们两个人的谈话，并把它告诉了所有人。 根据“you two talking”可知，此处指听到二人谈话内容，heard“听到”符合语境；felt“感觉”，stopped“停止”，understood“理解”，均不符合语境。 【24题详解】 句意：我希望回到过去并改正我的错误。 根据前文“Hearing it, I felt sorry for Sally.”和句中“and correct my mistake”可知，作者误会Sally、不接她电话都是过去发生的事情，所以想回到过去、纠正错误，past“过去”符合语境；trick“诡计”，corner“角落”，present“现在”，均不符合语境。 【25题详解】 句意：这次经历教会了我一个重要的教训——我们应该信任朋友并与朋友交流。 句中“we should trust and talk with friends”是作者在这次经历中学到的东西，即：经验或教训，lesson“教训”符合语境；test“测试”，drama“戏剧”，goal“目标”，均不符合语境。 三、阅读理解 A In middle school, English learning gradually (逐渐地) shifts (转换) from basic vocabulary and grammar to more complex (复杂的) reading comprehension (阅读理解) and writing skills.

After reading, summarize the main idea of each paragraph in one or two sentences, which is helpful to improve your logical thinking. Finally, don’t forget to review and reflect. After reading an article, look back on the main idea of the article and the author’s point of view, and think about whether you have fully understood the content of the article.

After a few days of learning from the carpenter, the young man thought, “I can make furniture faster.” The old carpenter noticed this and said, “I can teach you to make furniture quickly, but first, you need to do a simple job.” He then handed the apprentice a rough board and said, “Make this board smooth.” The man thought it was easy. He sanded (用砂纸打磨) the board a few times and soon gave it back soon. The old carpenter felt the board and said, “It is not smooth enough. Try again.” A little impatient, the young man sanded harder. But the old carpenter shook his head once again. Feeling sad, the man started to think more. He wasn’t in a hurry anymore and sanded every part of the board carefully. Finally, the board was as smooth as a mirror. This time, the old carpenter smiled and said, “You have learned an important lesson. Success needs not only skill but also patience. The simpler the job is, the more patience we need.

He wasn’t interested, but I thought they were great fun. These comics had all the things I liked best—good stories, clever drawings and comedies. I started drawing my own comics and now I have a blog where I put my works. Drawing comics takes a lot of time, and I’m still in school. There’s a lot of schoolwork and it keeps me busy. Sometimes I draw during my breaks, but mainly I do it at home, where I can put on my headphones and focus. That’s when I get the most done. Fans sometimes contact (联系) me on my blog and it’s good to write back to them. Last year, I went to a national youth comic festival. I found most other teenagers used computers to draw. Although I know how to do that and it can help me save time, I honestly would rather draw by hand. That’s how I began to draw. Because of the success of my blog, there are articles about me in newspapers and magazines. I usually draw by myself, so I’m not used to all those! I was surprised when they called me the coolest teenager. Me? My friend would laugh at that! However, one amazing thing about it is that some of my comic-writing heroes have written to congratulate me on my success. I couldn’t feel better! The next thing I need to do is to develop my art skills. I will go for a comic course in the school holidays. 34. Who were the comic books for? A. The writer’s parents. B. The writer’s elder brother. C. The writer himself. D. The writer’s comic-writing heroes. 35. Why does the writer finish most works at home? A. Because he can pay attention to drawing. B. Because he can get help from his parents. C. Because he can contact his fans on the blog. D. Because he doesn’t want his classmates to know his works. 36. What does the underlined word “congratulate” mean? A. Laughing at someone. B. Giving someone a surprise. C. Being patient with someone. D. Giving someone good wishes. 37. What’s the main idea of this article? A. How to become a successful comic writer through a blog. B. The history of comic books and how they influence teenagers. C. A teenager’s experience of drawing comics and his growth in it. D. The differences between hand-drawn comics and computer-drawn comics. 【答案】34. B 35. A 36. D 37. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者因偶然接触漫画书而爱上画漫画，开设博客分享作品，参加漫画节，并因博客走红获得关注，最后计划继续提升画技的经历。 【34题详解】 第一段第一句“Several years ago, my parents bought some comic books to help my elder brother relax.”提到，漫画书是买给哥哥的。 【35题详解】 第二段第三句提到了在家完成大部分作品的原因：“Sometimes I draw during my breaks, but mainly I do it at home, where I can put on my headphones and focus. ”，作者在家能集中注意力画画。 【36题详解】 根据第四段语境，作者取得了成功（success），偶像写信给他，且作者感觉非常好（I couldn’t feel better!）。“Congratulate”意为“祝贺”，即在别人成功时给予美好的祝愿。选项 D“Giving someone good wishes”符合该词含义。 【37题详解】 通读全文可知，文章以第一人称讲述了作者从接触漫画、开始创作、平衡学业与爱好、获得认可到计划提升技能的整个过程。这主要是一个青少年画漫画的经历及其成长过程。 D Uncle Henry is sitting outside the door of his small house.

Suddenly Uncle Henry stands up. “A cyclone (飓风) is coming,” he shouts. “Dorothy! Em! Go into the cellar (地下室). Quick!” Aunt Em runs out of the house. She sees the black cone (锥体) in the sky. She’s afraid because the cone is moving fast towards their house. “Dorothy!” Aunt Em shouts. “Come here! We must go into cellar!” She opens the little door in the floor and starts to climb down into the hole. Dorothy picks up Toto and runs into the house. Poor Toto! He’s afraid too. He jumps out of Dorothy’s arms and runs under the bed. Dorothy runs after him and pulls him out. “Dorothy!” Uncle Henry calls. “Quick! Come into the cellar! The cyclone is coming!” Dorothy starts to run to the little door in the floor but the cyclone hits the house before she can get there. Everything in the room is shaking. The cups and the plates fall on the floor. Dorothy falls on the floor too. BUMP! She can’t stand up again. Then the wind picks up the house and carries it away. The little house spins (旋转) fast round and round in the cone of the cyclone. Up and up it goes. It is high in the sky. Dorothy and Toto are very frightened. Toto starts barking. “Everything’s fine, Toto,” Dorothy says to him. “I’m here.” The wind carries the house for miles. Now Dorothy can stand up because the house isn’t spinning any more. She goes and sits on her bed. She holds Toto in her arms and waits. Hours pass. It gets dark outside. The wind continues to blow. Toto falls asleep. Dorothy isn’t afraid any more. She closes her eyes and falls asleep too. 38. From the story, we know that Toto is Dorothy’s________ . A. pet B. aunt C. uncle D. brother 39.

He jumps out of Dorothy’s arms and runs under the bed” 多萝西捡起托托跑进房子，托托很害怕，从多萝西的胳膊里跳出来，跑到床底下去了，可知托托是宠物。故选A。 【39题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“The little house spins fast round and round in the cone of the cyclone”小房子在飓风中心快速旋转；“Toto starts barking”狗开始大叫。可知多萝西和托托都很害怕。“frightened”表示“感到害怕的”，相当于“afraid”。故选B。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段根据“The wind carries the house for miles”风把房子吹了几英里远，可知飓风有强大的威力。B选项表述正确。故选B。 四、 根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Chinese lacquer fans (漆扇) have a very long history.

But they answered: “Frighten? For a hat?” In fact, my drawing was not a hat. It was a picture of a big snake digesting (消化) an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing: I drew the elephant inside of the big snake, so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. They always need to have things explained. My Drawing Number Two looked like the picture. The grown-ups’ response (回答), this time, was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of the big snake, whether from the inside or the outside, and devote myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic and so on. That is why, at the age of six, I gave up what might have been a magnificent career (职业) as a painter. I had been depressed (使沮丧) by the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two. Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them. So then I chose another job, and learned to fly airplanes. I have flown a little over all parts of the world; and it is true that geography has been very useful to me. At a glance I can distinguish (辨别) China from Arizona. If one gets lost in the night, such knowledge is valuable. In the course of this life I have had lots to do with lots of serious people. I have spent a lot of time with grown-ups. I have seen them intimately, close at hand. And that hasn’t much improved my opinion of them. 66. How many pictures did the writer draw in Paragraph 1? ____________________________________________ 67. When did the writer give up his dream as a painter? ____________________________________________ 68. What might the writer want grown-ups to learn? ____________________________________________ 【答案】66. Two. 67. At the age of six. 68.

People traveled from far and wide to buy his furniture. One day, a young apprentice (学徒) came to learn from him. The young man loved working with wood but was always hurrying to finish things. After a few days of learning from the carpenter, the young man thought, “I can make furniture faster.” The old carpenter noticed this and said, “I can teach you to make furniture quickly, but first, you need to do a simple job.” He then handed the apprentice a rough board and said, “Make this board smooth.” The man thought it was easy. He sanded (用砂纸打磨) the board a few times and soon gave it back soon. The old carpenter felt the board and said, “It is not smooth enough. Try again.” A little impatient, the young man sanded harder. But the old carpenter shook his head once again. Feeling sad, the man started to think more. He wasn’t in a hurry anymore and sanded every part of the board carefully. Finally, the board was as smooth as a mirror. This time, the old carpenter smiled and said, “You have learned an important lesson. Success needs not only skill but also patience. The simpler the job is, the more patience we need. When you perfect every part, you can make a perfect piece.” The young man understood that carpentry was not only about making things but also about shaping the mind.

He wasn’t interested, but I thought they were great fun. These comics had all the things I liked best—good stories, clever drawings and comedies. I started drawing my own comics and now I have a blog where I put my works. Drawing comics takes a lot of time, and I’m still in school. There’s a lot of schoolwork and it keeps me busy. Sometimes I draw during my breaks, but mainly I do it at home, where I can put on my headphones and focus. That’s when I get the most done. Fans sometimes contact (联系) me on my blog and it’s good to write back to them. Last year, I went to a national youth comic festival. I found most other teenagers used computers to draw. Although I know how to do that and it can help me save time, I honestly would rather draw by hand. That’s how I began to draw. Because of the success of my blog, there are articles about me in newspapers and magazines. I usually draw by myself, so I’m not used to all those! I was surprised when they called me the coolest teenager. Me? My friend would laugh at that! However, one amazing thing about it is that some of my comic-writing heroes have written to congratulate me on my success. I couldn’t feel better! The next thing I need to do is to develop my art skills. I will go for a comic course in the school holidays. 34. Who were the comic books for? A. The writer’s parents. B. The writer’s elder brother. C. The writer himself. D. The writer’s comic-writing heroes. 35. Why does the writer finish most works at home? A. Because he can pay attention to drawing. B. Because he can get help from his parents. C. Because he can contact his fans on the blog. D. Because he doesn’t want his classmates to know his works. 36. What does the underlined word “congratulate” mean? A. Laughing at someone. B. Giving someone a surprise. C. Being patient with someone. D. Giving someone good wishes. 37. What’s the main idea of this article? A. How to become a successful comic writer through a blog. B. The history of comic books and how they influence teenagers. C. A teenager’s experience of drawing comics and his growth in it. D. The differences between hand-drawn comics and computer-drawn comics. D Uncle Henry is sitting outside the door of his small house. He’s worried. He’s looking at the sky. It’s full of black clouds. There’s a very strong wind, too. It’s making a loud noise. Suddenly Uncle Henry stands up. “A cyclone (飓风) is coming,” he shouts. “Dorothy! Em! Go into the cellar (地下室). Quick!” Aunt Em runs out of the house. She sees the black cone (锥体) in the sky. She’s afraid because the cone is moving fast towards their house. “Dorothy!” Aunt Em shouts. “Come here! We must go into cellar!” She opens the little door in the floor and starts to climb down into the hole. Dorothy picks up Toto and runs into the house. Poor Toto! He’s afraid too. He jumps out of Dorothy’s arms and runs under the bed. Dorothy runs after him and pulls him out. “Dorothy!” Uncle Henry calls. “Quick! Come into the cellar! The cyclone is coming!” Dorothy starts to run to the little door in the floor but the cyclone hits the house before she can get there. Everything in the room is shaking. The cups and the plates fall on the floor. Dorothy falls on the floor too. BUMP! She can’t stand up again. Then the wind picks up the house and carries it away. The little house spins (旋转) fast round and round in the cone of the cyclone. Up and up it goes. It is high in the sky. Dorothy and Toto are very frightened. Toto starts barking. “Everything’s fine, Toto,” Dorothy says to him. “I’m here.” The wind carries the house for miles. Now Dorothy can stand up because the house isn’t spinning any more. She goes and sits on her bed. She holds Toto in her arms and waits. Hours pass. It gets dark outside. The wind continues to blow. Toto falls asleep. Dorothy isn’t afraid any more. She closes her eyes and falls asleep too. 38. From the story, we know that Toto is Dorothy’s________ . A. pet B. aunt C. uncle D. brother 39.
