teacher.There is a classroom helper who walks around helping you with your problems.You can get the best teaching there,and you have a helper who can help you understand your work.You listen to the teacher for only 15 minutes.Then you work in teams to do group projects and solve problems together.The days of pen and paper are gone.You each have your own computer and you do all your work and assignments on it.After classes finish,you can stay there and talk with your school friends.You each have a locker to keep your personal things.There is a fridge to keep your lunch and a microwave to

much as non ﹣tipped workers,but in the United States tipped workers make much less per hour.Money from tips is expected to provide a large amount of tipped workers overall wage(工资)in the USA.So tipping in the USA isn't just a nice thing to do ,but it's pretty important to know how to tip properly.●It's not a must.Just so we're clear,there are no laws (法律)saying you have to tip.You won't cause an international accident over a tipping problem ﹣you may just upset the person who has been serving you if you don't tip him/her.●It is expected.We'd certainly suggest it if you plan to use that restaurant,hotel or delivery boy again!There are lots of things that aren't against laws but impolite.Not tipping is one of those impolite things.●It is common.In the USA,people are expected to tip waiters,taxi drivers,hairdressers and your.I'm﹣so﹣hungry﹣pizza delivery guys(or any delivery guys at any time).●Know how much to tip.The standard(标准的)amount is 15%.And it's encouraged to give 20% for great service.Be generous!For larger groups at restaurants,the tip is often included(包含)in the bill,so keep an eye out for more specific instructions and information.●Be a high﹣tech tipper.You may haven't noticed ,most Americans are not big fans of math.But they do love a good app,so they can use many apps to work out how much the tip is.Anyway,you can also use the old﹣fashioned pencil and paper to work out the tip.(1)In which country,tipped workers are paid much less per hour?.A.In the UK.B.In the USA.C.In China.D.In Thailand.(2)If your cost in a hotel with great service is ﹩100,you

宁波市初中英语八年级上册期末基础卷(含解析)

一、131.It’s windy and bright these days. __________ wonderful time to fly a kite!A.What aB.What anC.WhatD.How A解析:A【解析】【详解】句意:这些天又刮风又晴朗,真是放风筝的好时间啊!考查感叹句。
根据_____ wonderful time to fly a kite!可知本题考查感叹句。
time表示“时间”时是不可数名词,但表示“一段时间”时,是可数名词,可以和不定冠词连用,根据these days可知指的是这段时间是放风筝的好时间,所以time在这里是可数名词,而且是单数形式,故用What a来引导感叹句,结合选项可知A选项符合题意,故答案选A。
【点睛】感叹句的构成有两种,一、what修饰名词或名词短语,有以下两种形式:1、What+a/an+形容词+单数可数名词+主语+谓语!2、What+形容词+可数名词复数或不可数名词+主语+谓语!二、how引导的感叹句。
how用来修饰形容词、副词。
其结构为:How+形容词(副词)+主语+谓语!本句的中心词是time,在这里指的是一段时间,所以它是一个可数名词单数,要用what来引导感叹句,而且wonderful的发音是以辅音音素开头的,故用不定冠词a;故答案选A。
2.― people are there in your family?—Five.A.How many B.How about C.How much D.How long A解析:A【解析】【详解】句意:——你家有多少人?——五口人。
A. How many提问可数名词的数量;B. How about 用来征求意见;C. How much提问不可数名词的数量,也可提问价格;D. How long多长时间。
people为可数名词。
因此用How many提问。
故选A。
3.Which country has ______population, America or Brazil?A.huger B.fewer C.larger D.the largest C解析:C【解析】【详解】句意:哪个国家的人口更多,美国还是巴西?考查形容词的比较级。

No matter(无论) 19 we do, those words are very 20 to us.We can take English study 21 an example. If we want 22 some new words by heart, we must learn them and read them again and again 23 we can remember them. Sometimes it will 24 a lot of time for us to remember, but once we remember, we can use them freely. If we 25 our best, we will do it very well. When you take an English exam and meet some meanings and usages(用法) you don’t remember,how will you feel at that time? You must feel 26 . So English study means that you 27 practice more and more.We can look at 28 example in learning. When we read the same story for many times, we can remember it 29 well that we can tell it to others. At the same time, we can also 30 some stories from what we have heard. So in our study and life, we should keep the sentence “Practice makes perfect” in our mind. In this way, we can study well and live a better life.16 .

Tony is going to _______ in the city.A. do some shoppingB. go swimmingC. take picturesD. see the most famous building32.Dean and Betty are excited because _______.A. they like warm placesB. they like the food thereC. it’s their first time to go abroadD. they think the place is beautiful33. From the postcards we know that ______.A. Tom went to the city by planeB. Tony and Betty went to the beachC. Paul liked Malaysian food very muchD. they wrote the cards during the tripB.In China, many people have the habit of buying a new calendar at the beginning of a new year and putting it on the wall. Usually the calendar is made of thirteen pieces of paper (a cover and the calendar for each month) .The pictures in the calendar look very beautiful. But when the year is over and the calendar is no longer useful, they just throw it away.Now some smart calendar makers get a good idea---a shopping bag calendar. This kind of calendar looks no different from other calendars. What makes it differentis that it’s not made of paper, but twelve shopping bags. On every shopping bag,there is a calendar for each month. When one month is over, they can take down that month and use it as a shopping bag. You can find out the date or put things in it. It’s cool and good for the environment.34.When do Chinese people buy a calendar?A. At the end of the new year.B. In the middle of the year.C. At the beginning of the new year.D. On New Year’s Day.35.According to the article, usually how many pages are there in a traditional calendar?A. 14.B. 13.C. 12D.636.Which of the following is RIGHT?A. Shopping bag calendar looks the same as other calendars.B. Shopping bag calendar is bad for the environment.C. People often go shopping with the traditional calendars.D. People often take down the shopping bag at the beginning of that month.C.In America, people often invite friends for a meal, a party (such as dancing party, housewarming party, birthday party, wedding party, New Year’s party, and so on )or just coffee. They often invite others face to face or by making phone calls, sometimes they send messages or E-mails.When they make an invitation, they often say like this, “Would you like to come over for dinner this Saturday?”“We are having a party on Friday, can you come?”To answer an invitation, they say “Sure, I’d love to. Thank you” to accept, or “Sorry” and give a reason to turn it down. Anyway, they must reply an invitation in a polite(礼貌的) way.Sometimes what people say is like an invitation but they are not real invitations. For example, “Please come over for a drink sometime.”“Let’s get together for lunch soon.”They are not real invitations because they don’t talk about the date or time. They just show that person is trying to be friendly. When people hear them, they usually answer “Sure, that would be great.” or “OK, thank you.” So next time you hear what is like an invitation, listen carefully. Is it a real invitationor is the person just being friendly?37.What party is NOT mentioned (提及) in the passage?A. Holiday party.B. Birthday partyC. Dancing partyD. Wedding party38.Which of the following way is the best to turn down an invitation?A. I’m sorry I won’t come.B. No, I can’t come to your party.C. I’m sorry I have to see the doctor.D. Why do you ask me?39.If someone says, “Please come over for dinner next time.”what’s the best way to answer it?A. I’m sorry I’m busy these days.B. That’s a great idea. When?C.OK. Thanks for asking.D. Sorry I can’t.40.Which of the following is NOT RIGHT?A. Usually in a real invitation people will tell the date and time.B. You don’t need to answer it when you hear an unreal invitation.C. People should reply to an invitation politely.D. When people turn down an invitation, they often find a good reason.D.Do you know what couch-potato means? Well, in America, the word is now often used. The American couch-potato becomes maybe even a part of American tradition.You see, in America, many people often spend their free time sitting on a couch(沙发) watching TV. As there are many programs to choose, the TV can be quite interesting and very addictive(上瘾的). One may sit and watch TV for hour and hour without stop. They do nothing else but watch TV. These people are called couch-potatoes.In America, when one watches TV, he is most often sitting on a couch. While watching TV, most of these people look so frozen that they almost look dead. Everyone is sitting still (安静地) with eyes looking right into the same black box. Also because these people are addictive to TV, they don’t exercise and usually get very fat. So in many ways, they look like real potatoes. Well, because they look so still and fat, and watch TV on a couch, they are all called couch-potatoes.Now you know what couch-potatoes means. The next time if you see someone watchingTV too long, just say, “What a couch-potato!”41.
