The app,however,may think this means you are interested and offer more of the same.Little by little, what you see on the app may become less and less different. 4Both sides have a point.Finding more of what we enjoy can help us learn,but finding something unexpected(意料之s外的)can help us grow too.We can use the app's advice while also searching for different subjects ourselves.Before opening the next video,we might ask,"Am I choosing this because I really want to watch it,or simply because the app has put it in front of me?"An algorithm can suggest where to go next,but we should still decide for ourselves what to watch. 29.Leo finishes a video because he finds it interesting.What may happen next? A.The app may ask him why he finished the video. B.The app may offer him more videos like that one. C.The app may stop recommending videos to him. D.The app may help him search for a different subject. 30.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean? A.We will find more new subjects to enjoy. B.The app will offer videos of higher quality. C.We will see fewer kinds of videos on the app. D.The videos on the app will become more colourful. 31.Which student follows the writer's idea most closely? A.Ben says no to anything recommended by the app. B.Amy only watches the videos recommended by the app. 八年级英语试卷第5页共12页 C.Cindy uses the app's advice but also searches for new subjects D.David keeps watching the same kind of videos to help the app know him. 32.What is the main purpose of this text? A.To show us different kinds of short videos on apps. B.To teach us how to stay away from online information. C.To explain why video apps are popular among teenagers. D.To tell us to be careful with algorithm recommendations 3 阅读以下语篇，完成第33-36题。 HOME POSTS ABOUT CONTACT Sign in Subscribe David 3 hours ago 1 In cartoons,cows sometimes stand on two legs and walk around like people.It looks easy on screen )On a farm,however,cows move on four legs.Why is walking like us so difficult for them?Their weight is part of the answer,but there is more to the story. 2A cow has a large,heavy body.Four legs share the job of supporting it and help the animal keep its balance.Its front legs carry more weight than its back legs.To stand on its back legs,it would have to move its weight backwards().Simply lifting its front feet would not be enough:it would also need to stop its heavy body from falling forwards. 3Yet being heavy does not tell the whole story.Bears can be large and heavy too,but they sometimes stand on their back legs to look around or reach something.They usually return to four legs to walk.So what makes standing on two legs easier for a bear? humans,bears put the whole of each foot on the ground.This gives them a large area of support when they stand.Cows have a different kind of foot.They stand on the ends of their toes )inside hard hooves ()Much less of each foot touches the ground.Their feet work well for moving on four legs,but do not offer the same support for standing on two. 5Walking is about more than the number of legs an animal has.How its weight is carried, how its feet meet the ground and other parts of its body all matter.A bear standing up may look human,but that does not mean it usually walks like us.The next time you see a cartoon cow walking to school,enjoy the story-and remember that a real cow has a body built for a different way of moving. 18 likes comments share Bob:■■■童■■圆② 的® 33.Why does the writer introduce bears after discussing cows'weight? A.To show that heavier animals need stronger front legs. B.To show that standing helps animals find food more easily. C.To show that weight alone cannot fully answer the question. D.To show that bears and cows carry their weight in the same way. 34.Which sentence is the most suitable for▲in Paragraph④？ A.Take a closer look at its feet. B.Find out how tall it becomes as it grows. C.Think about how much food it needs each day. D.Watch how quickly it moves from place to place. 八年级英语试卷第6页共12页 35.Bob gave a.Which of the following ideas may be from Bob? A.Walking like humans doesn't show how bears usually walk. B.Bears and cows have similar feet to help them stand upright easily. C.All heavy animals with four legs can stand upright when they reach for food. D.Body weight is the most important reason for an animal to stand on two legs. 36.What is the structure of this passage? ① ① ① ② ① ② ②③④ ③ ②③④⑤ A.③④⑤ B ⑤ C.④ ⑤ D Q 阅读以下语篇，完成第37-40题。 Anne could not wait for the picnic.She had never been to one before,and someone was going to bring ice cream.Marilla had said she could go.

"Anne,I've found my brooch.Why did you tell me that story?" "You said I couldn't go out until I confessed,"Anne answered."So I made up a story.I wanted to go to the picnic so much." Marilla looked at the little girl. “I was wrong,”Marilla said at last.“I should have listened..Can you forgive(原谅)me?Now,get ready.There is still time for the picnic." That evening,Anne came home full of stories about the lake,the food and,best of all,the ice cream. Later,Marilla told Matthew about her mistake."I've learned a lesson,"she said."Life is never boring with Anne around." -Adapted from Anne ofGreen Gables 八年级英语试卷第7页共12页 37.Why did Anne tell the story about losing the brooch?

Having a conversation seems like the most natural thing in the world.We don't think twice about it now.But it wasn't always that way.42 What's the most basic rule of having a successful conversation?We take turns.I speak and then you do and then I do and then you do.43 In an argument ()we do sometimes hear a lot of people speaking together.But once the argument ends,everyone takes turns again. This is especially important if there are several people taking part in a conversation.Imagine:you're in the street talking to three other people about the latest film The Odyssey.44 If it's going to be a successful conversation,then all four of you need to get the chance to have your say.If that happens, everyone's happy.If that doesn't happen,you can end up feeling quite unhappy. 45 We have to leam how to do it.And babies start that learning process (very early on,during the first year of life.They hear their mother talking...they coo or babble...the mother replies...they coo or babble again...the mother replies again.Listen-speak-listen-speak-listen. That's the key of any conversation.We have to leam to be listeners as well as speakers. A.We had to learn rules. B.We don't speak at the same time. C.Turn-taking doesn't come naturally. D.Everyone has got something to say about it. E.None of these could happen without language. F.We have learnt all the sounds in our language. 八年级英语试卷第8页共12页 第三部分语篇运用（共两节，满分25分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读以下语篇，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项， Maria was sure she had outgrown(长大而不再孺要)family vacations.Last year's trip had meant hours in a crowded car,with her brothers talking loudly about 46.She wanted a holiday of her own.

Feeling stressed about remembering all the textbook knowledge? Mind maps（思维导图)are here to help.These maps help you organize information and make ideas easier to remember. Cara Zhang,17,is an 11th grader at Xi'an Gaoxin No.1 High School. When she was in junior high school,she learned about mind maps on social media and started using them to study history."At first,I studied history by copying class notes into the notebook.It was almost a waste of time to me. Mind maps really made learning quicker and more effective )They are clear,show how different ideas are connected(连s接的)，and help build a complete knowledge system(体系)” Zhang said. Now,Zhang studies many different subjects in her school's international program.She mainly uses mind maps to study human geography,a subject that includes lots of detailed 八年级英语试卷第10页共12页 information.After finishing a topic,she spends about 35 minutes creating a mind map with an online tool."A tree map works well for human geography.It connects one main topic with many smaller ideas.I can clearly see the relationship between them,"Zhang said. "There are many online mind mapping tools to help us organize ideas.They offer different shapes and colors,allowing us to create maps in our own style.Unlike paper maps,which can easily get lost,online tools keep our maps safely stored (online."Zhang added. Before making a mind map,Zhang first memorizes (the textbook knowledge within a set time.Then,she draws the map from memory without looking at her notes or books.After finishing,she checks the textbook for any missing details and marks them in red."This way,I can see what I don't fully remember,"she said.Besides tree maps,mind maps also come in different forms,such as timelines and flow charts."There's no need to stick to just one type-choose the one that suits you best,"Zhang said. 71.What does the underlined word"it"refer to in Paragraph 2? 72.What's the difference between online mind mapping tools and paper maps? 73.Why does Cara Zhang mark the missing details in red? 74.Please give a title(标题)to the passage, 75.What type of mind map would you like to try in your study?Why?(30 第二节句子翻译（本题共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 76.眼镜使他看上去有一点滑稽。(a little bit) 77.他对学习的热爱使他与众不同。(set.apart) 78.我们更了解健康饮食的重要性。(be aware of) ▲ 79.他敲中了水管，弄得房间里到处都是水。(l.with) A 80.对于我们而言，汉语可能不像法语或德语那么简单。(as…as) 八年级英语试卷第11页共12页 第三节书面表达（本题满分30分） 学校英语角正在开展“DIY心意卡”分享活动。假如你是八年级学生李华，你亲手制作了一 张格言卡片送给你的朋友Jack,与他共勉。请根据以下要点，写一篇英语短文。 1.卡片制作过程； 2.格言选择及原因； 3.制作感受与内心期望。 参考格言（也可自选）： (1)Practice makes perfect.
