A.visit the website B.email the school C.go to Banbury Road D.call the school 乃 Some experts discover that the weaker maths abilities in English-speaking children are related to English number words.However,the Chinese language has simpler number words.Chinese expresses maths concepts (概念)more clearly than English. Chinese has just ten basic number words.English,however,has more than twenty.The trouble starts at "11.English has a word("eleven")for that number.The Chinese language has words that can be translated as "ten-one"-spoken with the "ten"first.That makes it easier for the Chinese children to understand the place value ()Students can easily see the number system is based on the units of 10. English number words over 10 don't make the place value clear.Words for numbers 13 to 19 change the order of the ones and tens.Children are more likely to confuse(使迷惑；混淆肴)l7with71.Therefore,.children working with English number words have a harder time doing complex calculations ()They make more mistakes. 第3页 八年级英语·【2026东外10月月考】 It also feels more natural for Chinese speakers than for English speakers to use the "make-a-ten"method. When adding two numbers,Chinese students often break down the numbers into parts and regroup them into tens and ones.For example,9 plus 5 becomes 9plus 1 plus 4.This method greatly helps students work out maths problems.Many teachers in America are also teaching their students the"make-a-ten"method.However, they are having a hard time because of the confusing English number words. Now you should feel lucky that you are learning maths in China.Thanks to your native language,all the maths problems have become less difficult and less confusing. 29.Why does Chinese express maths concepts more clearly than English? A.Because the Chinese like maths best. B.Because the Chinese are much cleverer. C.Because Chinese has easier number words. D.Because Chinese has more number systems. 30.According to the text,how many basic number words are there in English? A.Ten. B.Eleven C.Nineteen D.More than twenty. 31.According to the text,if you use the "make-a-ten"method to work out maths problems,8plus 7 will become A.8+1+7 B.4+7 C.8+2+5 D.8+3+4 32.What's the best title for the text? A.The way to work out maths problems B.The only language for learning maths C.Why students don't like to study maths D.Why Chinese students are good at maths C It was another Tuesday in my old college teacher Morrie's home.I noticed some newspapers by the table. "Are you still learning about news?"asked Morrie. "Yes,"he replied."Do you think it's strange,Mitch?Do you think because I'm dying,I shouldn't care what happens in this world?" "Maybe I shouldn't care,"he said,"But now that I'm in pain ()I feel closer to people who feel the same.The other night,on TV,I saw homeless people living in the street,crying for help...and I just started to cry.I feel their pain just likemy own.I don't know any of these people.But I feel close to them." His eyes were filled with tears.I tried to change the subject,but he went on. "I cry all the time now,"he said."Never mind." I was amazed.Working in the news business,I covered stories where people died,talked to heart-broken family members.I never cried.I didn't like showing my feelings.But here was Morrie,facing a serious illness, crying for people far away.Is this what happens at the end of life?Maybe death can make strangers feel and cry for one another. Morrie blew his nose and asked,"Is it okay with you,isn't it?Men crying?" "Sure,"I said,too quickly. But he still went on,"One day,I'm going to show you it's okay to cry." We laughed because he said the same thing in class nearly twenty years earlier. "Mitch,you asked about taking care of people I don't even know.Can I tell you the most important thing I've learned with my illness?" "What's that?" "The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love,and to let it come in."Morrie said. 第4页 八年级英语·【2026东外10月月考】 His voice dropped,"Let it come in.We think we don't deserve (love.We think if we let it in,we'll become too soft..But一love is the only rational(理性的)act." I nodded,like a good student.I moved over to give him a gentle kiss and felt his weak hands on my arms. "So,you'll come back next Tuesday?"he said softly. Adapted from Tuesdays with Morrie) 33.What does Mitch do? A.A college teacher B.Anews reporter C.A hospital doctor D.Ahomeless student 34.What can we learn about Morrie according to the passage? A.He felt sad about Mitch's illness. B.He kept himself in good health C.He taught Mitch twenty years ago. D.He was thinking more of himself. 35.What does the underlined"too quickly"show? A.Mitch didn't understand why Morrie cried. B.Mitch was going to laugh at Morrie's words. C.Mitch was trying to change the subject again.

D TMemory is the ability to remember things.A good memory can help us do better in school,such as language-learning.A few people are bom with amazing memories,but most people need to improve their memories by practising.Here are some secrets about memories. 2We can still remember things happened in our childhood but not those last week.In fact,if the things have strong connections with our feelings,we can remember them longer.When things happen for the first time,children often have strong feelings.Also,parents tell us the interesting or funny stories from our childhood again and again.As a result,we remember them much better. 3It's natural for common people to forget the new words which they learnt yesterday.Hermann Ebbinghaus wrote a book called Memory and showed a famous forgetting curve.According to him,the quickest loss of memory happens during the first two days after learning.That means going over what we've learned during this time can help us very well to remember the information. 4A 15-year-old sometimes forgets things,but that doesn't mean his or her memory is getting worse.Our memory gets the top at the age of 25.At that point,we can remember over 12,000 pieces of information in a minute.But after this age,the brain starts to get smaller.By middle age,our memory is much worse than when we were young. 37.Why is it easier to remember things in our childhood? a.Because they were special. b.Because we got strong feelings from them. c.Because they were helpful. d.Because we heard them many times. 第5页 八年级英语·【2026东外10月月考】 A.ad B.bd C.ac D.bc 38.Which is the right picture for Hermann Ebbinghaus's forgetting curve? 39.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
