八年级英语试卷 Ⅰ
注意事项：
1、全卷共90分，考试时间共90分钟。
2、考生务必将答案直接填写在答题卡的相应位置上。
一、单项选择(每题1分，共5分)
1. This story is ________ than ________ story in this book.
A. more serious; the other B. seriouser; the other C. more serious; any other D. seriouser; any other
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：这个故事比这本书里的任何其他故事都更严肃。
serious是多音节形容词，比较级需在前面加more；在同一范围内进行比较且排除自身时，常用“比较级 + than + any other + 单数名词”结构，表示“比任何其他……都……”，the other特指两者中的另一个，不符合语境。
2. It was such a ________ surprise to meet my old friend on the street and it was my great ________ to share our stories with her.
A. pleasure; pleasant B. pleasant; pleasure C. pleased; pleasure D. pleasant; pleased
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：在街上遇到我的老朋友真是这样一个令人愉快的惊喜，和她分享我们的故事是我的极大乐事。
pleasure荣幸、乐事（名词）；pleasant令人愉快的（形容词，修饰物）；pleased感到高兴的（形容词，修饰人）。根据第一空后的名词surprise可知，此处应用形容词pleasant作定语，表示“令人愉快的惊喜”；根据第二空前的形容词性物主代词my和形容词great可知，此处应用名词pleasure。
3. The old folk song is familiar ________ most local people and few of them are familiar ________ its writer.
A. with; to B. to; with C. with; with D. to; to
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：这首古老的民歌为大多数当地人所熟悉，但他们中很少有人熟悉它的作者。
be familiar to sb.意为“某物为某人所熟悉”，主语通常是物；be familiar with sth.意为“某人熟悉某物”，主语通常是人。第一空主语是The old folk song，故用to；第二空主语是few of them，故用with。故选B。
4. — Don’t forget ________ the window before you leave. It’s going to rain.
— Oh, I remember ________ it 10 minutes ago.
A. to close; closing B. closing; to close C. to close; to close D. closing; closing
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：——你离开前别忘了去关窗户。要下雨了。——哦，我记得 10 分钟前关过它了。
forget to do sth忘记要做某事，remember doing sth记得做过某事。根据“before you leave”可知，第一空表示别忘了要做关窗的动作，用to close；根据“10 minutes ago”可知，第二空表示记得已经关过窗户了，用closing。
5. Though the old man lives ________ in the mountain village, he never feels ________ because he has many animal friends.
A. lonely; alone B. alone; alone C. alone; lonely D. lonely; lonely
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：虽然这位老人独自住在山村里，但他从不感到孤单，因为他有很多动物朋友。
alone独自地，侧重客观上一个人；lonely孤独的，侧重内心感受。第一空修饰动词lives，指独自居住，用alone；第二空在系动词feels后，描述内心感受，用lonely。
二．完形填空(每题1分，共10分)
The sweetest memory for “me” is about a round table. When I was little my family would gather around it during ____6____ traditional festivals. We kids played games under the table while the grown-ups discussed family things.
When I was ten, the ____7____ of my aunt’s boyfriend brought excitement. My grandma happily ____8____ another chair to the round table.

However, when the family got together once again, we all agreed his chair should ____10____. There was no one sitting in his chair, but we felt like that he had never left us.
Every Chinese home has a ____11____ like this. Over it, we share joyful or difficult moments, celebrate reunions, and pass down love. The reasons for gathering may differ, ____12____ the feelings remain the same — love for family, country, and even the world.
Now, as the Spring Festival approaches, people from all walks of life will return home. Rich or poor, young or old, they’ll sit around ____13____ own round tables to celebrate. They’ll feel warm and excited when they ____14____ their stories with other family members.

【解析】
【导语】本文回忆了作者围绕圆桌的家庭聚会场景，展现圆桌承载的亲情记忆，象征中国人的团圆与爱，体现家庭温暖与文化传承。
【6题详解】
句意：当我小时候，我的家人会在几个传统节日期间围坐在圆桌旁。
festivals是复数可数名词，且语境为肯定句，应用several“几个”修饰。few“很少”，表否定含义不合语境；much和little修饰不可数名词。
【7题详解】
句意：当我十岁时，姑姑的男朋友的到来带来了兴奋。
根据后文奶奶加椅子可知是新成员加入，此处指男朋友的到来，选arrival“到达，到来”。promise“承诺”；discussion“讨论”；success“成功”，均不符合句意。
【8题详解】
句意：奶奶高兴地向圆桌添加了另一把椅子。
根据“another chair”及人多需要座位，可知是增加椅子到桌旁，add sth. to…“把某物添加到……”固定搭配。
【9题详解】
句意：虽然有点拥挤，但我们都感觉彼此很亲近。
根据“crowded, but”表示转折，虽空间拥挤但心理距离近，close“亲近的”符合。interested“感兴趣的”；similar“相似的”；quiet“安静的”，无法体现家人间的情感联系。
【10题详解】
句意：然而，当家人再次团聚时，我们都同意他的椅子应该留下来。
根据后文“felt like he had never left us”可知椅子保留原位以示纪念，stay“保留，保持”符合语境。
【11题详解】
句意：每个中国家庭都有这样一张桌子。
根据全文主题“round table”及下文“more than a table”，可知此处指代圆桌。
【12题详解】
句意：聚会的原因可能不同，但感情是一样的。
differ与same构成语义上的转折关系，可知应用but连接。
【13题详解】
句意：无论贫富，无论老少，他们都会围坐在他们自己的圆桌旁庆祝。
主语they，对应物主代词应为their。
【14题详解】
句意：当他们与其他家庭成员分享故事时，他们会感到温暖和兴奋。
根据“with other family members”及聚会场景，可知是交流分享故事，选share“分享”。write“写”，read“阅读”，create“创造”不符合家庭聚会交流的情境。
【15题详解】
句意：这件简单的家具不仅仅是一张桌子——它是中国团圆的象征。
根据“of Chinese togetherness”及文章升华主题，可知圆桌具有象征意义，a symbol of“……的象征”。

How did the story start? A customer in Hangzhou received the wrong toy and called customer service for a replacement. After the customer posted photos of its sad expression online, the toy rose to fame suddenly. People quickly named it the “cry-cry horse” and it got around 100 million views on social media. Soon, orders for the “accidental version (版本)” flooded in.
▲ Many young office workers see themselves in it. The toy shows how they look calm on the outside while feeling very stressed on the inside. “Everyone feels tired and faces many uncertainties about the future,” said Wang Bin, a professor of social media communication at Renmin University of China. He added that the toy serves as a form of emotional comfort.
Seeing the sudden popularity, the factory acted fast. It stopped making the happy version and started producing the “cry-cry horse”. Now it has over 10 assembly lines (生产线), and workers are carefully trained to make the special “sad” mouth-the same mistake they once tried to avoid.
No one knows which worker made the first mistake, but the factory owner said the whole team would get an award for their unexpected success.

Aunt Dete pulled young Heidi up the mountain, holding her small hand tightly. The five-year-old girl, with her dark curly hair, couldn’t help showing her excitement although her aunt seemed so serious.
Finally, they reached a wooden house. An old man was sitting there and smoking.
“Uncle Alm,” Dete said, “I brought Heidi to live with you. She’s your son’s child, and I can’t keep her anymore. I get a good job in Frankfurt.”
The old man’s eyes darkened. “And what makes you think I want her?”
“She’s your granddaughter! You’re the only family she has!”
“Take her back. I want nothing to do with people,” he cried in an angry tone (语气).
But Heidi, without listening to them, saw a goat (山羊) and got very excited. “Is that your goat? He’s beautiful! Do you have more? Can I see them?”
The look on the grandfather’s face didn’t change, but his eyes followed the child’s movements.
“She’s staying,” Dete said firmly, already turning to leave. “I’ll send her things later.”
“Goodbye, Aunt Dete!” Heidi said happily. She wasn’t sad—she was too busy looking at everything around the house. The grandfather watched in silence as Dete disappeared.
“Come inside,” he said. “If you’re staying, you need to know where to sleep.”
He took her to the hayloft (干草棚). “You can sleep here.”
Heidi’s eyes lit up. “My own bed in the sky! Look, Grandfather, I can see the whole mountain from here!”
The old man’s eyes softened (柔和) a little when seeing her excitement and joy.
In the next few days, Heidi enjoyed her every minute in the mountains. She played with the goats, sang with the birds and danced with the wind. Wherever she went, there was her laughter. ▲
One evening, as they sat outside watching the sunset, Heidi rested on her grandfather’s knee. “I love it here,” she said.
He didn’t speak, but his eyes lost their coldness. The old man placed his rough (粗糙的) hand gently on her curly hair. Heidi knew she finally found her real home on the mountain.
(Adapted from Heidi)

【29题详解】
推理判断题。空格前文提到：“In the next few days, Heidi enjoyed her every minute in the mountains. She played with the goats, sang with the birds and danced with the wind. Wherever she went, there was her laughter.”，后文提到：“He didn’t speak, but his eyes lost their coldness.”，表明海蒂在山上的每一天都充满快乐，她的这份快乐与对一切的兴趣逐渐改变了爷爷的感受，让爷爷不再冷漠，该句可以承上启下，符合上下文逻辑。

五．任务型阅读理解(每题2分，共10分)
Do you know magpies? Magpies are as important a part of Beijing as the Palace Museum and the Beijing Duck. But how much do you know about this type of bird?
In Chinese culture, magpies are called xique, which means “the bird of happiness”. ①People believe that 看见喜鹊能给他们带来好运. The birds even have a special job in the Chinese story of the Qixi Festival. It’s said that magpies would form a bridge in the sky for Niulang and Zhinv so that they could get together once a year. As a result, magpies stand for true love too.
Magpies have black and white feathers with slightly blue tails. With their special “zhazhazha” sounds from early morning till night, ②it is not difficult for birdwatchers to notice them. You can always see them chatting on the roof or in the branches (树枝).
Magpies have some very interesting living habits. They always live around humans. ③ In winter, many magpies turn to a more plant - rich diet. Their diet includes around 60% vegetables. Sometimes they may look for food on the ground but not eat it right away. Instead, they will save the food for the future.
Even more surprisingly, they stay around the dead birds and make sad sounds. It is just like they are holding a funeral (葬礼). All these unbelievable things lead some people to believe that magpies may be the cleverest of all birds. ④
41. What do magpies look like?
______________________________________
42. 将①处句子译成英语。
People believe that ______________________________________
43. 写出文中②处的同义句。
Birdwatchers find ________ to notice them.
44. A: This makes many people love this bird. B: They are not far away from people’s homes.
请根据文意，将A，B两句放回文中的③和④两处 ③________ ④________
45. What animal is your favourite lucky animal in Chinese culture? Why?
______________________________________
【答案】41.
They have black and white feathers with slightly blue tails.
42.
seeing magpies can bring them good luck
43.
it easy 44. ①.
B ②.
A 45.
My favourite lucky animal is the dragon. Because it stands for power and good luck.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了喜鹊在中国文化中的象征意义、外貌特征、生活习性以及人们对其智慧的看法。
【41题详解】
本题询问喜鹊的外形。文章第三段直接给出描述“Magpies have black and white feathers with slightly blue tails.”，属于原文细节信息，直接提取作答。
【42题详解】
“看见喜鹊能给他们带来好运”译为“seeing magpies can bring them good luck.”。本句是“People believe that”后的宾语从句，“看见喜鹊”用“seeing magpies”表示，动名词短语在宾语从句中作主语；“能”用“can”表示，情态动词，后接动词原形；“给他们带来好运”用“bring them good luck”表示，是bring sb. sth.（给某人带来某物）的双宾语结构。
【43题详解】
句意：观鸟者不难注意到它们。原句使用It is+adj.+for sb. to do sth.结构，意为“对某人来说做某事是……的”，it作形式主语，真正主语是后面的不定式；同义转换用find it+adj.+to do sth.，表示“发现做某事是……的”，it作形式宾语。not difficult相当于easy。故填it easy。
【44题详解】
③前面一句说到喜鹊总是生活在人类周围。B项“They are not far away from people’s homes.”是对“live around humans”进一步解释，语义衔接紧密。

A new toy horse, made for the Year of the Horse, has become a surprise hit. But its fame (名气) comes from a mistake. The toy was supposed to have a happy smile. Instead, because of a worker’s carelessness at a factory in Yiwu, its mouth was made down-turned and the toy got an unhappy face.
How did the story start? A customer in Hangzhou received the wrong toy and called customer service for a replacement.

Aunt Dete pulled young Heidi up the mountain, holding her small hand tightly. The five-year-old girl, with her dark curly hair, couldn’t help showing her excitement although her aunt seemed so serious.
Finally, they reached a wooden house. An old man was sitting there and smoking.
“Uncle Alm,” Dete said, “I brought Heidi to live with you. She’s your son’s child, and I can’t keep her anymore. I get a good job in Frankfurt.”
The old man’s eyes darkened. “And what makes you think I want her?”
“She’s your granddaughter! You’re the only family she has!”
“Take her back. I want nothing to do with people,” he cried in an angry tone (语气).
But Heidi, without listening to them, saw a goat (山羊) and got very excited. “Is that your goat? He’s beautiful! Do you have more? Can I see them?”
The look on the grandfather’s face didn’t change, but his eyes followed the child’s movements.
“She’s staying,” Dete said firmly, already turning to leave. “I’ll send her things later.”
“Goodbye, Aunt Dete!” Heidi said happily. She wasn’t sad—she was too busy looking at everything around the house. The grandfather watched in silence as Dete disappeared.
“Come inside,” he said. “If you’re staying, you need to know where to sleep.”
He took her to the hayloft (干草棚). “You can sleep here.”
Heidi’s eyes lit up. “My own bed in the sky! Look, Grandfather, I can see the whole mountain from here!”
The old man’s eyes softened (柔和) a little when seeing her excitement and joy.
In the next few days, Heidi enjoyed her every minute in the mountains. She played with the goats, sang with the birds and danced with the wind. Wherever she went, there was her laughter. ▲
One evening, as they sat outside watching the sunset, Heidi rested on her grandfather’s knee. “I love it here,” she said.
He didn’t speak, but his eyes lost their coldness. The old man placed his rough (粗糙的) hand gently on her curly hair. Heidi knew she finally found her real home on the mountain.
