Do you want to know better between you and your friends? There are three different kinds of friends as follows: Pest friends Guest friends Best friends This kind of friend is almost an acquaintance (熟人). All you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friends at school, at work, or on the bus, but you don’t miss them when they’re not around. When this kind of friends does something bad, you don’t tell them. That is why they are called “pest friends”. They could also be called “social partners”. They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends. You know their names, a little of what they like or dislike, and a little of their family histories. You may have the same interest and often do something together in your free time, but you don’t talk about anything deep, such as your wishes or dreams, and they don’t open up to you how they really feel. The “best friend”, is the one you know the deepest. You’re like family members, and know everything about each other. You have no problem staying at each other’s houses, and you share your deepest feelings and thoughts. They will help you when you’re wrong. Sometimes they may not be perfect, but at least they will always care about you and never do anything on purpose (故意地) to hurt you. We all have our pest, guest, and best friends. We should value (重视) all friendships and remember, all best friends start out as just acquaintances. 11．What can we know about “pest friends” from the passage? A．We often miss them when they are not around. B．We usually only know their names. C．We share our deepest wishes with them. D．They will help us when we are wrong. 12．Which of the following is true about “guest friends”? A．They are as close as true friends. B．We know nothing about their family histories. C．We don’t talk about deep things like dreams with them. D．They are just acquaintances we meet on the bus. 13．According to the passage, what makes “best friends” different from the other two kinds? A．They are only people we meet at school or work. B．We know everything about each other and share deep feelings. C．We never stay at each other’s houses. D．They may do something on purpose to hurt us. B Most students have 10-minute breaks between classes. They can do some exercise, talk with each other and relax during the time. However, to keep their students safe, some schools don’t let them leave the classroom during breaks—unless they need to go to the toilet. “They cannot go outside to play and relax”, a parent says in an interview (采访). To give students a real rest, primary and middle schools began to add five more minutes to break time between classes from this autumn term. According to the new rule, each school should have a 30-minute big break in the morning and another in the afternoon. Students should have at least 90 minutes of break time each day in primary schools and at least 105 minutes in middle schools. With the new rule, students will have more time to relax, rest, and play outside. This can help them keep healthy and avoid myopia (近视). To help students use their break time better, many schools in Beijing are working hard. For example, Dianchanglu Primary School sets a climbing wall for its students. Qianjiadian Central Primary School builds a “Happy Farm” for students to do some farm work. Huashi Primary School holds an art show in the hallway. Students can enjoy great paintings during the break. What do you think of these activities? Do you have more great ideas for break time? 14．Which is NOT the reason why schools began to add five more minutes to breaks? A．To give students a real rest. B．To keep the students safe during the breaks. C．To make sure students can go outside to play and relax. D．To give students enough time to exercise, talk, relax and go to the toilet. 15．How much time should a Grade 8 student have for breaks per day? A．30 minutes. B．60 minutes. C．90 minutes. D．105 minutes. 16．What is the purpose of the new rule in Para.3? ①To give students more time to do homework. ②To help students keep healthy and keep good eyesight. ③To let students have enough time to rest and play outdoors. A．①② B．①③ C．②③ D．①②③ 17．How did the writer show the efforts of schools in the fourth paragraph? A．By listing numbers. B．By drawing charts. C．By giving examples. D．By comparing differences. C Taking notes is an important part of learning. Students listen to the teacher. They write down the important things. Or they use a computer. These days, many students take a computer to class to type (打字) their notes. Some people think that using a computer is better. People type faster than they write. That means they can take more notes. If you can type fast, you can type every word the teacher says. Computers are becoming very common in classrooms. Almost every student in university has a computer small enough to take to class in order to type notes. Fewer students write things down. So there is a trend in schools now to spend less time on teaching kids how to write. Schools are moving away from teaching younger students how to write by hand. Many people see no need for writing by hand. However, studies advise that it is good to write things down. When people can’t write every word, they have to think about it more. They have to pick out what is important. And the act of writing seems to help them to remember. Studies show that people who write down their notes remember the information better. A new study, done by Princeton University and University of California, found that students who took notes by hand learned more than those who used a computer. In the study, 65 university students listened to the teacher and took notes with pens or computers. Then they did tests about how well they remembered and understood the lesson. Results show that pen users do better than those who take notes with their computers. 18．People think it’s better to use a computer to take notes because they can __________. A．type faster than they write B．find everything on computer C．get more useful information D．get every word the teacher says 19．If we say something is a “trend”, we may mean it is “becoming __________”. A．impossible B．simple C．popular D．unnecessary 20．How does the writer tell us it is good to write things down? A．By telling us an interesting story. B．By asking and answering questions. C．By giving us a piece of advice. D．By showing the results of a study. 21．What can we learn from the passage? A．Schools won’t teach students how to write by hand. B．Writing things down can help us to remember. C．Students need to take a computer to class in university. D．It’s important for students to take notes on their computers. D DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in the UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programmes show people how to DIY. English people like DIY. There is a saying in the UK— “An Englishman’s home is his castle”. Huge numbers of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful “castles”. If there is anything that needs fixing around their houses, such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experiences with their friends. More and more people have discovered the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. With the economic downturn at present, many people can not afford to buy a bigger house. They are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular. DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture which people need to put together themselves with a few basic tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can’t understand the instructions. Sometimes the instructions are simple and clear, but the furniture itself is difficult to build. One thing is for sure, though most DIY projects are started with the best intentions, many of them may not get finished. DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical should be done by a professional worker. Unluckily, many people don’t care about this warning and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in the UK, including 41,000 who fell off ladders. Therefore, DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off more than we can chew. Maybe factories should make products that are easier and safer for us to DIY. 22．How do many English people spend their holidays according to the passage? A．Making their homes beautiful. B．Visiting their friends. C．Travelling all over the world. D．Making a lot of money. 23．Why do English people like DIY? A．Many stores sell DIY things. B．DIY can bring them fun. C．TV programmes teach them to DIY. D．All DIY projects are easy. 24．What can we learn from the passage? A．DIY is a waste of money. B．It is always difficult to DIY. C．We should be careful while doing DIY. D．It’s very safe for us to DIY. 25．In the passage, “we bite off more than we can chew” probably means ___________. A．we can eat everything we like B．we should do something difficult C．we do something that is too difficult D．we eat too much food that is not safe 第三部分 信息还原(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5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。 DIY projects let you design your house, providing a way to save money, but even with step-by-step instructions, DIY doesn’t always go as planned. Nearly 80% of homeowners make a mistake while doing DIY. 26 Taking on Too Much More than 40% of people find DIY projects more difficult and expensive than they thought. Bailey Carson, a home care expert, said, “ 27 It’s important to think about why you want to DIY, and what you hope to get out of it. Without the time, tools, and skills to do it correctly and safely, mistakes may cost you more than simply paying others to help.” 28 A third of people used the wrong tool for a DIY project. Many tools are designed for special uses and materials, so if you use them for other tasks, you may get hurt. Always use the proper tools for each project, and make sure you know how to use them. Not Safety First 29 Of the people surveyed who once made a big mistake during their DIY projects, 47% said that the mistake led to serious problems; for example, 44% reported incidents such as starting a fire or falling off a roof or ladder. Take your time and follow all safety rules when using tools to protect yourself. Skipping（跳过）Important Steps Skipping a key step can end your whole DIY project. And you might not know it until much later. In the survey, 47% of people said that they had finished a DIY project before knowing it was done wrong. 30 And make sure you have the necessary（必要的）skills to complete each step. A．Using the Wrong Tools B．Not Attending DIY Lessons C．You may need to think twice. D．DIY mistakes can also be dangerous. E．Read all instructions carefully before you begin. F．Here are four biggest mistakes that homeowners often make. G．It’s easy to do our DIY projects if we are careful. 第四部分 词汇运用(共13小题；每小题1分，满分13分) 第一节 根据下列句子所给汉语注释或首字母，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。每空限填一词。 31．He sadly failed the test; ______________ (然而), he decided to work harder from then on. 32．We should try our best to protect our ______________ (环境) to avoid pollution. 33．It is known that the 21st ______________ is a time of fast development of AI.

Parents and teachers say these hands-on lessons can be used to teach many subjects. Susan Hobart is a school teacher at Lake View Elementary School in Madison. She and her students look after the school’s large garden with 12 raised beds. “Gardening is a great way to get kids outside with a purpose. With the school gardens, kids can see a beginning, a middle and an end to their project. If they just sat at desks, they wouldn’t have this experience,” Hobart says. She adds that the gardens help calm the kids and give them a different viewpoint on soil and food. “If we had to buy the seedlings, they’d cost $3 each and we could never afford that,” Hobart says. “But there are plenty of creative ways to find help. We find seeds and seedlings from local botanical gardens (植物园) and our communities.” Each spring, the school’s children plant seeds and seedlings in the garden. Over the summer, teachers and young children take care of the garden together. Hobart says that gardens do not have to take up a large area outdoors. For schools without space for even a small garden, turning to local botanical gardens and parks can sometimes be a good choice. In the school garden, teachers can teach students how to grow food and flowers. They can also teach science, social studies and even art there. “Giving kids the opportunity to move outside and find worms—especially if their teachers are excited about it— is important,” Hobart says. “Having a garden in a school is just as important as any other education,” Hobart says. “The act of gardening teaches you where food comes from and teaches you to have a feeling of great respect for soil. If kids have a reverence (尊敬) for soil, it’s a life skill. I see this as one of the most valuable lessons of humanity.” 54．Where do the students at Lake View Elementary School find seeds and seedlings? 55．What can schools do without garden space? 56．What do you think of doing gardening in your school? Why? 第七部分 书面表达(共1题；满分25分) 57．学校英语社团正在举办“My DIY Experience”主题征文活动。请你以日记的形式记录一次你的手工制作经历，内容包括： 制作的物品和准备的材料； 制作的主要步骤； 你的感受与收获。 注意： 1. 词数90左右； 2. 文中请勿提及真实姓名、校名、地名等信息； 3. 条理清晰，语句通顺，语法正确。     My DIY Experience _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ 1 / 2乐思英语 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $考前特训 2026年八年级第一学期 期中考测试卷（苏州专用） 英语（Units 1-4） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 注意事项： 1.本试卷共七大题，满分100分(不含听力口语30分)，考试用时100分钟； 2.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考点名称、考场号、座位号用0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔填写在答题卡相对应的位置上，并认真核对条形码上的准考号、姓名是否与本人的相符合； 3.答选择题必须用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，如需改动，请用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案；答非选择题必须用0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔写在答题卡指定的位置上，不在答题区域内的答案一律无效，不得用其他笔答题； 4.考生答题必须答在答题卡上，答在试卷和草稿纸上一律无效。 第一部分 完形填空(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My cousin Andrew is 1 about DIY.

Qianjiadian Central Primary School builds a ‘Happy Farm’ for students to do some farm work. Huashi Primary School holds an art show in the hallway”可知列举了三所学校的做法（攀岩墙、快乐农场、艺术展），作者通过举例说明学校的努力。故选C。 C Taking notes is an important part of learning. Students listen to the teacher. They write down the important things. Or they use a computer. These days, many students take a computer to class to type (打字) their notes. Some people think that using a computer is better. People type faster than they write. That means they can take more notes. If you can type fast, you can type every word the teacher says. Computers are becoming very common in classrooms. Almost every student in university has a computer small enough to take to class in order to type notes. Fewer students write things down. So there is a trend in schools now to spend less time on teaching kids how to write. Schools are moving away from teaching younger students how to write by hand. Many people see no need for writing by hand. However, studies advise that it is good to write things down. When people can’t write every word, they have to think about it more. They have to pick out what is important. And the act of writing seems to help them to remember. Studies show that people who write down their notes remember the information better. A new study, done by Princeton University and University of California, found that students who took notes by hand learned more than those who used a computer. In the study, 65 university students listened to the teacher and took notes with pens or computers. Then they did tests about how well they remembered and understood the lesson. Results show that pen users do better than those who take notes with their computers. 18．People think it’s better to use a computer to take notes because they can __________. A．type faster than they write B．find everything on computer C．get more useful information D．get every word the teacher says 19．If we say something is a “trend”, we may mean it is “becoming __________”. A．impossible B．simple C．popular D．unnecessary 20．How does the writer tell us it is good to write things down? A．By telling us an interesting story. B．By asking and answering questions. C．By giving us a piece of advice. D．By showing the results of a study. 21．What can we learn from the passage? A．Schools won’t teach students how to write by hand. B．Writing things down can help us to remember. C．Students need to take a computer to class in university. D．It’s important for students to take notes on their computers. 【答案】18．A 19．C 20．D 21．B 【导语】本文探讨了记笔记的方式及其对学习效果的影响，对比了电脑打字和手写笔记，指出手写笔记有助于更好地记忆和理解。 18．第二段指出使用电脑更好的原因：“People type faster than they write.”，这直接说明人们认为用电脑记笔记更好是因为打字比写字快。 19．第三段说明“trend”的含义：“Computers are becoming very common in classrooms... So there is a trend in schools now to spend less time on teaching kids how to write.”，结合上下文可知“trend”意为“becoming popular”。 20．第四段指出作者论证手写好处的方式：“A new study, done by Princeton University and University of California, found that students who took notes by hand learned more than those who used a computer.”，说明作者是通过展示研究结果来告诉读者手写笔记的好处。 21．第四段指出文章的核心结论：“Studies show that people who write down their notes remember the information better.”，说明写下东西能帮助我们记忆。 D DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in the UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programmes show people how to DIY. English people like DIY. There is a saying in the UK— “An Englishman’s home is his castle”. Huge numbers of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful “castles”. If there is anything that needs fixing around their houses, such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experiences with their friends. More and more people have discovered the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. With the economic downturn at present, many people can not afford to buy a bigger house. They are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular. DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture which people need to put together themselves with a few basic tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can’t understand the instructions. Sometimes the instructions are simple and clear, but the furniture itself is difficult to build. One thing is for sure, though most DIY projects are started with the best intentions, many of them may not get finished. DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical should be done by a professional worker. Unluckily, many people don’t care about this warning and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in the UK, including 41,000 who fell off ladders. Therefore, DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off more than we can chew. Maybe factories should make products that are easier and safer for us to DIY. 22．How do many English people spend their holidays according to the passage? A．Making their homes beautiful. B．Visiting their friends. C．Travelling all over the world. D．Making a lot of money. 23．Why do English people like DIY? A．Many stores sell DIY things. B．DIY can bring them fun. C．TV programmes teach them to DIY. D．All DIY projects are easy. 24．What can we learn from the passage? A．DIY is a waste of money. B．It is always difficult to DIY. C．We should be careful while doing DIY. D．It’s very safe for us to DIY. 25．In the passage, “we bite off more than we can chew” probably means ___________. A．we can eat everything we like B．we should do something difficult C．we do something that is too difficult D．we eat too much food that is not safe 【答案】22．A 23．B 24．C 25．C 【导语】本文介绍了DIY及DIY在英国流行的原因，并对DIY困难甚至危险的原因进行了分析，进而对DIY提出了合理的建议。 22．细节理解题。根据“English people like DIY. There is a saying in the UK—‘An Englishman’s home is his castle’. Huge numbers of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful ‘castles’.”可知，英国人会在假期里把自己的房子弄得更漂亮。故选A。 23．细节理解题。根据“They share DIY experiences with their friends. More and more people have discovered the joy of DIY.”可知，DIY可以给他们带来乐趣。故选B。 24．推理判断题。根据“DIY can also be dangerous.”可知，DIY也是危险的，所以我们应该小心。故选C。 25．词句猜测题。根据“but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off more than we can chew. Maybe factories should make products that are easier and safer for us to DIY.”可知，工厂也许应该为我们制作更简单和更安全的DIY产品，说明我们做的事太难了，因此此句表示“我们做的事情太困难了”。故选C。 第三部分 信息还原(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5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。 DIY projects let you design your house, providing a way to save money, but even with step-by-step instructions, DIY doesn’t always go as planned. Nearly 80% of homeowners make a mistake while doing DIY. 26 Taking on Too Much More than 40% of people find DIY projects more difficult and expensive than they thought. Bailey Carson, a home care expert, said, “ 27 It’s important to think about why you want to DIY, and what you hope to get out of it. Without the time, tools, and skills to do it correctly and safely, mistakes may cost you more than simply paying others to help.” 28 A third of people used the wrong tool for a DIY project. Many tools are designed for special uses and materials, so if you use them for other tasks, you may get hurt. Always use the proper tools for each project, and make sure you know how to use them. Not Safety First 29 Of the people surveyed who once made a big mistake during their DIY projects, 47% said that the mistake led to serious problems; for example, 44% reported incidents such as starting a fire or falling off a roof or ladder. Take your time and follow all safety rules when using tools to protect yourself. Skipping（跳过）Important Steps Skipping a key step can end your whole DIY project. And you might not know it until much later. In the survey, 47% of people said that they had finished a DIY project before knowing it was done wrong. 30 And make sure you have the necessary（必要的）skills to complete each step. A．Using the Wrong Tools B．Not Attending DIY Lessons C．You may need to think twice. D．DIY mistakes can also be dangerous. E．Read all instructions carefully before you begin. F．Here are four biggest mistakes that homeowners often make. G．It’s easy to do our DIY projects if we are careful. 【答案】26．F 27．C 28．A 29．D 30．E 【导语】本文主要讲述了家装DIY项目常会出错，统计显示近八成业主自行装修时会失误，并列举业主最常犯的四类DIY错误及对应注意事项。 26．前文提到“近80%的房主在DIY时会犯错误”，后文则详细介绍了四个错误，所以此处需要一个过渡句来引出下文。F选项“以下是房主在DIY时常犯的四个最大错误”符合语境，能够很好地衔接上下文。 27．后文“It’s important to think about why you want to DIY, ... more than simply paying others to help.”指出，此处是在建议做DIY之前要三思。C选项“你可能需要三思而后行”承接上文的“承担过多DIY工程”，说明不少人低估DIY难度和成本。 28．下文“三分之一的人在DIY项目中使用错误的工具”，说明本段主要讲述的是使用错误工具的问题。A选项“使用错误的工具”符合语境，能够概括本段内容。 29．本段小标题为Not Safety First，后文列举火灾、高空坠落等危险事故，D选项“DIY错误也可能是危险的”为本段中心句。 30．前文提到“跳过关键步骤可能会毁了整个DIY项目”，而后文“要确保有完成每一步所需的技能”，由此可推知，此处是在建议开始DIY项目之前要仔细阅读说明。E选项“在开始之前仔细阅读说明”连接上下文，符合逻辑。 第四部分 词汇运用(共13小题；每小题1分，满分13分) 第一节 根据下列句子所给汉语注释或首字母，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。每空限填一词。 31．He sadly failed the test; ________ (然而), he decided to work harder from then on. 【答案】however 句意：他很遗憾考试不及格，然而，他决定从那时起更加努力学习。空格后有逗号单独隔开，用however“然而”表示转折含义。 32．We should try our best to protect our ________ (环境) to avoid pollution. 【答案】environment 句意：我们应该尽全力保护环境来避免污染。括号给出中文“环境”，对应的英文名词是environment，environment为不可数名词，直接放在形容词性物主代词our后面。 33．It is known that the 21st ________ is a time of fast development of AI.

Parents and teachers say these hands-on lessons can be used to teach many subjects. Susan Hobart is a school teacher at Lake View Elementary School in Madison. She and her students look after the school’s large garden with 12 raised beds. “Gardening is a great way to get kids outside with a purpose. With the school gardens, kids can see a beginning, a middle and an end to their project. If they just sat at desks, they wouldn’t have this experience,” Hobart says. She adds that the gardens help calm the kids and give them a different viewpoint on soil and food. “If we had to buy the seedlings, they’d cost $3 each and we could never afford that,” Hobart says. “But there are plenty of creative ways to find help. We find seeds and seedlings from local botanical gardens (植物园) and our communities.” Each spring, the school’s children plant seeds and seedlings in the garden. Over the summer, teachers and young children take care of the garden together. Hobart says that gardens do not have to take up a large area outdoors. For schools without space for even a small garden, turning to local botanical gardens and parks can sometimes be a good choice. In the school garden, teachers can teach students how to grow food and flowers. They can also teach science, social studies and even art there. “Giving kids the opportunity to move outside and find worms—especially if their teachers are excited about it— is important,” Hobart says. “Having a garden in a school is just as important as any other education,” Hobart says. “The act of gardening teaches you where food comes from and teaches you to have a feeling of great respect for soil. If kids have a reverence (尊敬) for soil, it’s a life skill. I see this as one of the most valuable lessons of humanity.” 54．Where do the students at Lake View Elementary School find seeds and seedlings? 55．What can schools do without garden space? 56．What do you think of doing gardening in your school? Why? 【答案】54．From local botanical gardens and their communities. 55．They can turn to local botanical gardens and parks. 56．It is important and interesting. Because students can grow different plants they like. 【导语】本文主要讲述了美国的园艺课程以及老师和学校对它的看法。 54．根据第三段“We find seeds and seedlings from local botanical gardens (植物园) and our communities.”可知，他们的种子来自当地的植物园和社区。 55．根据第四段“For schools without space for even a small garden, turning to local botanical gardens and parks can sometimes be a good choice.”可知，没有小花园的学校可以去当地的植物园和公园。 56．开放性试题，言之有理即可。 第七部分 书面表达(共1题；满分25分) 57．学校英语社团正在举办“My DIY Experience”主题征文活动。请你以日记的形式记录一次你的手工制作经历，内容包括： 制作的物品和准备的材料； 制作的主要步骤； 你的感受与收获。 注意： 1. 词数90左右； 2. 文中请勿提及真实姓名、校名、地名等信息； 3. 条理清晰，语句通顺，语法正确。     My DIY Experience _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 October 7, 2026 Wednesday Sunny My DIY Experience Today I made a cute paper rose at home.
