As a child, I would drag myself out of bed, my eyes half-closed, and watch my school uniform hanging in front of the bed. These days, I set several alarms to ensure I’m woken up. Interested in technology, I often test fascinating devices (electronic tools). Most of them are fun, but few really change my life in the long run. Sunrise alarm pillows, however, are different. They’ve become an important part of my morning routine. My top pick, the sunrise alarm pillows, have greatly done me good. I’m waking up every day, feeling more energetic and mentally sharper. In fact, the pillow is a combination (结合) of alarm clock and light treatment device that shines with increasing brightness as your wake-up time nears. The light interacts (相互作用) with our natural sleep-wake cycle, much as the sun does when it rises. Therefore, we wake up biologically prepared for the day. The sunrise alarm pillow also helps develop healthier sleep habits. In our tech-driven world, waking up often means immediately checking our phones. An advantage of sunrise alarm clocks is that your morning wake-up no longer needs your phone. Stopping a smartphone alarm means your day begins with eyes on screen. ★____ Sleep is personal, and no single device fits everyone. But for me, the sunrise alarm pillow has been a game-changer. If you are struggling with dark mornings, it’s worth a shot. After all, some morning people are made, not born. 11. I like the sunrise alarm pillows because ______. A. they offer me more time to sleep B. they can change all my bad habits C. they have a positive influence on me D. they surprise me with super-high tech 12. What does the underlined phrase “biologically prepared” suggest? A. Timely set out. B. Naturally woken up. C. All-round ready. D. Fully fresh and clear. 13. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. All the alarm clocks I have tried have their own advantages and disadvantages. B. But with this pillow, you can start the day with a clearer mind and more concentration. C. So your smartphone has been playing an important role in your morning wake-up. D. In that case, your eyesight will continuously fail and you will regret deeply someday. 14. Which of the following most agrees with the writer’s attitude? A. Everyone should have their own habits. B. Each of us should try the pillow. C. Some are born with a healthy lifestyle. D. Rising early can be trained. 15. What would be the best theme picture of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】11. C 12. B 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了日出闹钟枕头如何通过模拟自然光亮逐渐唤醒用户，帮助改善睡眠习惯和提升早晨的精力水平。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I’m waking up every day, feeling more energetic and mentally sharper.”可知，作者喜欢这款枕头是因为它对作者的生活有积极影响，故选C。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“The light interacts (相互作用) with our natural sleep-wake cycle, much as the sun does when it rises. Therefore, we wake up biologically prepared for the day.”可知，“biologically prepared”指的是通过模拟自然光亮逐渐唤醒用户，使他们在生理上准备好迎接新的一天。这与选项B“自然醒来”最为接近，因为这种唤醒方式更符合人体的自然生物钟。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Stopping a smartphone alarm means your day begins with eyes on screen.”可知，空前提到“关掉智能手机闹钟意味着你的一天从盯着屏幕开始”，空后应顺势说明换用这种枕头的好处，因此选项B“但有了这个枕头，你能更清醒、更专注地开始一天”最贴合。故选B。 【14题详解】 观点态度题。根据“After all, some morning people are made, not born.”可知，文末点明有些早起习惯是后天培养的，因此选项D“早起是可以训练的”符合作者的观点。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主题围绕“日出闹钟枕头”展开，最佳配图自然是带有闹钟显示功能的枕头，故选A。 B Have you ever talked to a smartphone or something that helps to find information or complete tasks just like Baidu? Well, the ChatGPT is a kind of thing like that, but it’s even smarter. ChatGPT is a cool computer program that can answer questions and can have conversations with you. It can understand what you are saying and respond (反应) in a way. It was released (发布) by OpenAI in November 2022. They used a lot of information from books, websites and even movies to teach ChatGPT to talk to people. Now the ChatGPT is ready to talk to you. You can ask it anything you want to know like “what’s the capital of France” or “what’s the biggest animal in the world”. But ChatGPT is more than just a searching machine. It can also have real conversations with you. You can ask it how it’s feeling or tell it a joke. ▲ ChatGPT is not just a fun program to talk to but it’s also a great tool to help you learn new things. Every time you ask the ChatGPT a question, you are increasing your knowledge (知识). Maybe you will discover a new hobby or find an answer to a question that has been bothering you for a while. But most importantly, using ChatGPT can be a lot of fun. It’s also like a knowledgeable teacher who can chat with you and answer your all kinds of questions. But ChatGPT isn’t perfect. It cannot take the place of face-to-face communication. Some people will use it to cheat, so we should use it correctly. 16. The writer introduces the topic of ChatGPT by ________. A. listing facts B. giving an example C. asking a question D. showing differences 17. Which of the following is the best for“ ▲ ”? A. It is quite a natural speaking machine. B. It can make you laugh when you are sad. C. You can learn something new with ChatGPT. D. It makes a breakthrough in language understanding. 18.

ChatGPT was released by Open AI in December 2022 B. ChatGPT is just a searching machine. C. ChatGPT is very creative and can do many things. D. ChatGPT took the place of face-to-face communication. 20. The structure (结构) of this passage is ________.(①=Paragraph 1) A. B. C. D. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. A 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，通过定义、举例、对比等方式，客观介绍了ChatGPT的功能、应用场景与局限性，并强调其作为智能对话工具的学习价值与正确使用方式。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Have you ever talked to a smartphone or something that helps to find information or complete tasks just like Baidu?”可知，作者通过提出一个问题来引入ChatGPT的话题。故选C。 【17题详解】 推理判断题。根据前文“But ChatGPT is more than just a searching machine. It can also have real conversations with you. You can ask it how it’s feeling or tell it a joke.”可知，ChatGPT不仅仅是一台搜索机器。它也可以和你进行真正的对话。你可以问它感觉如何，或者给它讲个笑话。由此可推测，B选项“它能让你在难过的时候开怀大笑。”符合语境。故选B。 【18题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Every time you ask the ChatGPT a question, you are increasing your knowledge (知识).”可知，每次你问ChatGPT一个问题，你就增加了你的知识。由此可知，下划线的单词“increasing”的中文意思是“增加”，与adding互为近义词。故选A。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But ChatGPT is more than just a searching machine. It can also have real conversations with you. You can ask it how it’s feeling or tell it a joke.”和第四段中“ChatGPT is not just a fun program to talk to but it’s also a great tool to help you learn new things.”以及“It’s also like a knowledgeable teacher who can chat with you and answer your all kinds of questions.”可知，ChatGPT不仅是搜索引擎，还能对话、学习、解答问题，体现其多功能性与创造性。故选C。 【20题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段引入话题ChatGPT；第二到四段具体介绍ChatGPT；第五段讲ChatGPT的局限性，即文章结构如B图所示。故选B。 C “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” Friends are important to us. Friends help us get through hard times. Friends also influence us a lot. Let’s enjoy two poems about friendship. To Wang Lun I, Li Bai, sit aboard a ship about to go, When suddenly on shore your farewell songs overflow. However deep the Lake of Peach Blossoms may be, It is not so deep, O Wang Lun! As your love for me. A Time to Talk By Robert Frost When a friend calls to me from the road And slows his horse to a meaning walk, I don’t stand still and look around On all the hills I haven’t hoed, And shout from where I am, what is it? No, not as there is a time to talk. I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground (把锄头插入松土). Blade (刀片)-end up and five feet tall. And plod (吃力行进): I go up to the stone wall for a friendly visit. Both poems are famous in their cultures, but they tell different stories. Li Bai described the scene (场景) of his friend seeing him off. The U.S. poet Robert Frost wrote about a friend’s visit when he was working. Li made a comparison. His poem shows the friendship between him and his friend is deeper than the deep water. Frost’s poem, on the other hand, tells the readers that we should stop what we are doing to talk with our friends. It tells us that nothing should get in the way of spending time with friends. The language is simple but sincere. 21.

Friends help us get through hard times.

Do you set your heart and mind on something and then go for it without stopping? Have you ever been described as strong-minded? If so, you are probably a very determined character. Determination is about moving forward to achieve your goals and not giving up when you meet difficulties. It is the willpower that helps you control yourself and achieve what you want. It is an inner strength (内在力量) that helps us to stay on course and reach our goals, no matter what. Being determined is a very good quality to have. So how can we become determined? Learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of those around you. Learn to look at the past as training for the future. Use those mistakes as a chance to learn something new. Don’t be scared of failing. Failures are just stepping stones on the road to success. What you should be scared of is not giving your goal 100% effort. Just think about how you will feel if you give up on it. Don’t waste time worrying about the things you can’t change. Use your strength and your determination to achieve things that you can control. Be patient. The road to your goal may be long and arduous at times and you need to make great efforts on the way. Sometimes determination is about being prepared to wait for the right chance, and being ready when it comes up. Don’t stand in your own way. This means believing in yourself and not setting limits (限制) on yourself. To do something you’ve never done before, you need to become someone you’ve never been before. You have to be prepared to make changes. 26. How does the writer begin the text? A. By telling a story. B. By asking questions. C. By showing a saying. D. By sending a message. 27. What does Paragraph 2 explain? A. What determination means. B. How to be a determined person. C. Who a determined person is. D. Why being determined is important. 28. What does the writer say about failures? A. They may set limits on you. B. They tell us to do something new. C. They’re stepping stones to success. D. They are a waste of time. 29. What does the underlined word “arduous” in Paragraph 7 mean? A. Boring. B. Simple. C. Exciting. D. Hard. 30. Which can be a proper title for the text? A. Ideas about Being Determined B. Keys to Making Changes C. Meanings of Mistakes and Failures D. Suggestions on Being Patient 【答案】26. B 27. A 28. C 29. D 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何成为一个意志坚定的人。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Are you the type of person who sticks to something once you have made your mind up? Do you set your heart and... Have you ever been described as strong-minded?”可知，作者通过提出问题来引出本文的话题。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。综合第二段可知，本段主要解释了决心的含义。故选A。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Failures are just stepping stones on the road to success.”可知，失败只是成功路上的垫脚石。故选C。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第七段“The road to your goal may be long and arduous at times and you need to make great efforts on the way.”可知，在实现目标的道路上，需要做出巨大的努力，说明通往目标的道路可能漫长而艰难，据此可推断“arduous”意为“困难的”，与hard同义。故选D。 【30题详解】 最佳标题题。综合全文可知，文章主要介绍了如何成为一个意志坚定的人；选项A“关于意志坚定的见解”适合作为文章的标题。故选A。 三、短文还原（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Nowadays, there are many people from big cities to villages or small towns to achieve their dreams. ____31____ Tony is one of this kind of people. ____32____ He said, “Both my wife and I grew up in St. Louis.

To achieve any of these, it’s important that you spend some time alone each day. If you can find 20 minutes alone both in the morning and in the evening, that’s nearly five hours a week you give to yourself. In a year’s time, you will have nearly a week and a half. If you spend the “found time” studying and planning with a positive attitude (态度), you’ll get a lot. The key to making good use of your private time is to challenge yourself. To explore (探索) new worlds, there are many ways. Let’s look at the following ones: Make a plan. It’s a good practice to consider yourself, your family, your job and whatever else interests you. You can have more than one clear aim. Ask yourself questions. Consider the many possibilities (可能性) which you can arrive at. Then decide which is the most important. Write down the questions you ask yourself and your answers in a notebook. Refresh (恢复) your memory. It’s important to check back with yourself. You’d better do it daily. Make it a rule to update (更新) your notebook daily. 36.

In a year’s time, you will have nearly a week and a half.”可知，如果每天早上和晚上分别花20分钟独处，一周就有近5个小时，一年就有近一周半的时间。因此，如果每天花40分钟独处，一年会有近一周半的时间。故填You will have nearly a week and a half in a year. 【38题详解】 根据“To explore (探索) new worlds, there are many ways. Let’s look at the following ones”之后列出了三种方法：Make a plan, Ask yourself questions, Refresh your memory。故填Three. 【39题详解】 根据“The key to making good use of your private time is to challenge yourself.”可知，有效利用独处时间的关键是挑战自己。故填To challenge yourself. 【40题详解】 ①这是一个开放性问题，答案因人而异。但可以根据文章内容和常识来回答。对于第一个小问“Is it important to check back with yourself?”，故填Yes, it is important to check back with yourself. It helps you understand your progress and make necessary adjustments. ②对于第二个小问“What do you think is the most important to be successful?”，故填I think the most important thing to be successful is to have a clear goal and work hard towards it. 五、书面表达（共1题，共30分） 41. 今年10月，一位叫Ai-Da的AI机器人首次在英国议会上发言，引起了大家极大的关注。为此，你们班在上周五的英语课上就AI机器人能做什么进行了热烈的讨论。请根据下表的数据写一份调查报告。同时，对老师提出的问题表达自己的观点并给出至少一点理由。 Will robots take the place of(替代) humans? 注意： 1.文中需全面涵盖图表信息； 2.文中不能出现真实的姓名和学校； 3.注意文章的结构完整，表达准确，过渡自然，书写工整； 4.词数：80—100词左右。 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Last Friday we had a heated discussion about what AI robots can do in our English class.

Thirty seven percent of the students think they can help us with our study, so that we can improve our grades. Twenty three percent of us think robots can take care of the old. We were surprised to find that twelve percent of the students think robots can chat and play with us. Only ten percent of the students think they can cook for us. Although robots can do so many things for us, I think robots still can’t take the place of humans because they can never think like humans. Only humans ourselves can be creative. 【解析】 【详解】[总体分析] ①题材：本文是一篇看图作文； ②时态：时态为“一般现在时”； ③提示：写作要点已给出，注意不要遗漏要点，可适当添加细节，并突出写作重点。 [写作步骤] 第一步，描述图表内容； 第二步，发表自己的看法； [亮点词汇] ①help sb with sth帮助某人做某事 ②take care of照顾 ③take the place of 代替 [高分句型] ①Last Friday we had a heated discussion about what AI robots can do in our English class. （what引导的宾语从句） ②We found that most of the students think the robots can help us with the housework. （that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 八年级上册期中练习 一、完形填空（共10小题，每小题2.5分，共25分） Do you know the story of how Zhang Heng invented the Houfeng Seismograph?

As a child, I would drag myself out of bed, my eyes half-closed, and watch my school uniform hanging in front of the bed. These days, I set several alarms to ensure I’m woken up. Interested in technology, I often test fascinating devices (electronic tools). Most of them are fun, but few really change my life in the long run. Sunrise alarm pillows, however, are different. They’ve become an important part of my morning routine. My top pick, the sunrise alarm pillows, have greatly done me good. I’m waking up every day, feeling more energetic and mentally sharper. In fact, the pillow is a combination (结合) of alarm clock and light treatment device that shines with increasing brightness as your wake-up time nears. The light interacts (相互作用) with our natural sleep-wake cycle, much as the sun does when it rises. Therefore, we wake up biologically prepared for the day. The sunrise alarm pillow also helps develop healthier sleep habits. In our tech-driven world, waking up often means immediately checking our phones. An advantage of sunrise alarm clocks is that your morning wake-up no longer needs your phone. Stopping a smartphone alarm means your day begins with eyes on screen. ★____ Sleep is personal, and no single device fits everyone. But for me, the sunrise alarm pillow has been a game-changer. If you are struggling with dark mornings, it’s worth a shot. After all, some morning people are made, not born. 11. I like the sunrise alarm pillows because ______. A. they offer me more time to sleep B. they can change all my bad habits C. they have a positive influence on me D. they surprise me with super-high tech 12. What does the underlined phrase “biologically prepared” suggest? A. Timely set out. B. Naturally woken up. C. All-round ready. D. Fully fresh and clear. 13. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. All the alarm clocks I have tried have their own advantages and disadvantages. B. But with this pillow, you can start the day with a clearer mind and more concentration. C. So your smartphone has been playing an important role in your morning wake-up. D. In that case, your eyesight will continuously fail and you will regret deeply someday. 14. Which of the following most agrees with the writer’s attitude? A. Everyone should have their own habits. B. Each of us should try the pillow. C. Some are born with a healthy lifestyle. D. Rising early can be trained. 15. What would be the best theme picture of the passage? A. B. C. D. B Have you ever talked to a smartphone or something that helps to find information or complete tasks just like Baidu? Well, the ChatGPT is a kind of thing like that, but it’s even smarter. ChatGPT is a cool computer program that can answer questions and can have conversations with you. It can understand what you are saying and respond (反应) in a way. It was released (发布) by OpenAI in November 2022. They used a lot of information from books, websites and even movies to teach ChatGPT to talk to people. Now the ChatGPT is ready to talk to you. You can ask it anything you want to know like “what’s the capital of France” or “what’s the biggest animal in the world”. But ChatGPT is more than just a searching machine. It can also have real conversations with you. You can ask it how it’s feeling or tell it a joke. ▲ ChatGPT is not just a fun program to talk to but it’s also a great tool to help you learn new things. Every time you ask the ChatGPT a question, you are increasing your knowledge (知识). Maybe you will discover a new hobby or find an answer to a question that has been bothering you for a while. But most importantly, using ChatGPT can be a lot of fun. It’s also like a knowledgeable teacher who can chat with you and answer your all kinds of questions. But ChatGPT isn’t perfect. It cannot take the place of face-to-face communication. Some people will use it to cheat, so we should use it correctly. 16. The writer introduces the topic of ChatGPT by ________. A. listing facts B. giving an example C. asking a question D. showing differences 17. Which of the following is the best for“ ▲ ”? A. It is quite a natural speaking machine. B. It can make you laugh when you are sad. C. You can learn something new with ChatGPT. D. It makes a breakthrough in language understanding. 18. The underlined word “increasing” in Paragraph 4 means “________”. A. adding B. sharing C. breaking D. deciding 19. According to passage, which of the following is true? A. ChatGPT was released by Open AI in December 2022 B. ChatGPT is just a searching machine. C. ChatGPT is very creative and can do many things. D. ChatGPT took the place of face-to-face communication. 20. The structure (结构) of this passage is ________.(①=Paragraph 1) A. B. C. D. C “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” Friends are important to us. Friends help us get through hard times. Friends also influence us a lot. Let’s enjoy two poems about friendship. To Wang Lun I, Li Bai, sit aboard a ship about to go, When suddenly on shore your farewell songs overflow. However deep the Lake of Peach Blossoms may be, It is not so deep, O Wang Lun! As your love for me. A Time to Talk By Robert Frost When a friend calls to me from the road And slows his horse to a meaning walk, I don’t stand still and look around On all the hills I haven’t hoed, And shout from where I am, what is it? No, not as there is a time to talk. I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground (把锄头插入松土). Blade (刀片)-end up and five feet tall. And plod (吃力行进): I go up to the stone wall for a friendly visit. Both poems are famous in their cultures, but they tell different stories. Li Bai described the scene (场景) of his friend seeing him off. The U.S. poet Robert Frost wrote about a friend’s visit when he was working. Li made a comparison. His poem shows the friendship between him and his friend is deeper than the deep water. Frost’s poem, on the other hand, tells the readers that we should stop what we are doing to talk with our friends. It tells us that nothing should get in the way of spending time with friends. The language is simple but sincere. 21. What are friends according to the passage? ①Friends who are in need. ②Friends are important to us. ③Friends influence us a lot. ④Friends help us get through hard times. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 22. What scene did Li Bai mainly describe in the poem? A. Ships on the lake. B. Wang Lun seeing him off. C. Peach blossoms. D. Songs sung by Wang Lun. 23. What is deeper than the Lake of Peach Blossoms in the first poem? A. Friendship. B. Culture. C. Meaning. D. Comparison. 24. According to Robert Frost, which one is the right way to treat someone we care about? A. Stand still and look around. B. Finish the work and then talk. C. Stop and spend time with friends. D. Hoe hills and never shout. 25. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The end of the friendship. B. The popularity of the poems. C. The comparison of people. D. The analysis (分析) of the poems. D Are you the type of person who sticks to something once you have made your mind up? Do you set your heart and mind on something and then go for it without stopping? Have you ever been described as strong-minded? If so, you are probably a very determined character. Determination is about moving forward to achieve your goals and not giving up when you meet difficulties. It is the willpower that helps you control yourself and achieve what you want. It is an inner strength (内在力量) that helps us to stay on course and reach our goals, no matter what. Being determined is a very good quality to have. So how can we become determined? Learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of those around you. Learn to look at the past as training for the future. Use those mistakes as a chance to learn something new. Don’t be scared of failing. Failures are just stepping stones on the road to success. What you should be scared of is not giving your goal 100% effort. Just think about how you will feel if you give up on it. Don’t waste time worrying about the things you can’t change. Use your strength and your determination to achieve things that you can control. Be patient. The road to your goal may be long and arduous at times and you need to make great efforts on the way. Sometimes determination is about being prepared to wait for the right chance, and being ready when it comes up. Don’t stand in your own way. This means believing in yourself and not setting limits (限制) on yourself. To do something you’ve never done before, you need to become someone you’ve never been before. You have to be prepared to make changes. 26. How does the writer begin the text? A. By telling a story. B. By asking questions. C. By showing a saying. D. By sending a message. 27. What does Paragraph 2 explain? A. What determination means. B. How to be a determined person. C. Who a determined person is. D. Why being determined is important. 28. What does the writer say about failures? A. They may set limits on you. B. They tell us to do something new. C. They’re stepping stones to success. D. They are a waste of time. 29. What does the underlined word “arduous” in Paragraph 7 mean? A. Boring. B. Simple. C. Exciting. D. Hard. 30. Which can be a proper title for the text? A. Ideas about Being Determined B. Keys to Making Changes C. Meanings of Mistakes and Failures D.

To achieve any of these, it’s important that you spend some time alone each day. If you can find 20 minutes alone both in the morning and in the evening, that’s nearly five hours a week you give to yourself. In a year’s time, you will have nearly a week and a half. If you spend the “found time” studying and planning with a positive attitude (态度), you’ll get a lot. The key to making good use of your private time is to challenge yourself.
