Spending time with close friends．CI arrived in the classroom，ready to share my knowledge and experience with 76students who would be my English literature（文学）class．Having taught in the US for 17years，I was sure of my ability to hold their attention and I was confident that they would admire（钦佩）my ability to teach them literature well in English．I was shocked when the monitor shouted，"stand up!" The whole class rose as I entered the room and I was somewhat unclear about how to get them to sit down again，but once the embarrassment（尴尬）was over，I quickly gained my calmness and admiration again．I went back，to my office with the rosy glow which came from a strong sense of achievement（成就）．My students kept diaries．However，as I read them，the rosy glow was slowly replaced （取代）by a strong sense of sadness．The first diary said，"Our literature teacher didn't teach us anything today perhaps her next lecture（讲座）will be better．" Greatly surprised，I read diary．after diary，each saying something about a similar theme．"Didn't I teach them anything？I described the whole Western philosophy（哲学）and laid the historical background for all the works we will study in class，" I complained．"How should they say I didn't teach them anything？"It was a long term，and it slowly became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as those of my students．I thought a teacher's job was to raise interesting questions and provide enough background so that students could draw their own conclusions．My students thought a teacher's job was to provide exact information as directly and clearly as possible．What a difference!However，I also learned a lot，and the experience with my Chinese students has made me a better American teacher，and I knew how to teach in a different culture．35.Which country does the writer of the passage come from？______A.

江苏省苏州市吴江区2023-2024学年八年级下学期期末英语试题一、完形填空My husband built a small house for our Little Free Library. It looked like our own home.I 1 some books carefully to put in it. We liked the idea because we didn’t have to get books into the car to sell them. 2 , we could make more people enjoy them.Since 5 years ago, thousands of books, CDs and even board games have been 3 . Our library is on a busy street, just a few 4 from a bus station. Many people walk past it every day. People who use our library often show their love for it. One man always stops by to get books for the nearby elderly’s home. In return, we sometimes get cards and gifts, 5 chocolates and even a special drawing from an artist.A lot of books are lent or given to others, but we now have even more books than ever before. Like the people using our library, the books in our library show how diverse (多元化的) our city is. We have books in English and French, besides Chinese books. I’ve even collected many books in different 6 I don’t understand, just for the joy of adding 7 special to our collection.Some people think Little Free Library might not be 8 to the development of the community and could compete (竞争) with public libraries and bookshops. But our love of reading grows because of Little Free Library, and it has helped build a 9 between book lovers in our busy neighborhood. That’s what our library is for. It goes further from we expected.

What would it look like? A map shows the view of an area from above. We use maps to find out where places are, or how far it is between places. Maps also help us to find the way. This is because they tell us which direction to take to reach a place.Map scales (比例)When people draw maps, they draw them much smaller than the area of land or sea the maps show. Maps are nearly always drawn to scale. Different scales are used to draw different types of map.A large-scale map shows a small area in a lot of detail. It is the kind of map you might use if you are out walking. A small-scale map shows a large area in less detail. Who would use this type of map?Map symbols(标志)The things that maps show are shown by symbols. Some symbols are tiny pictures. Others are letters, such as “B” for bridge or “P” for car park. Most maps have a key to tell you what these different symbols mean. There are no rules about what colours are used on maps, but map-makers use the same colours for the same things. Water is usually blue, for example, and forests are green. 11．Why does the writer ask readers to imagine in paragraph 1?A．Provide facts.B．Show opinions.C．Draw a conclusion.D．Introduce the topic. 12．Which of Amy’s ideas is proper after she reads this passage?A．If Amy wants to go to her friend’s house, she can use a small-scale map.B．When Amy sees a big “L” on a map, she knows it may show a lighthouse.C．Amy draws a map for Suzhou, and she uses l cm for 30 km on the ground.D．Amy finds two maps use two colors for fields, and she believes it’s a mistake. 13．Which book may the passage be taken from?A．Fun Animal World B．Amazing GeographyC．To English Learners D．Know More about MathThere was once a beautiful girl who lived in a small village. Her father was a shoemaker. One day, a foreign army came to the village. A soldier (士兵) got to know the girl, fell in love with her and they got married.There was once a small boy who lived with his 12 brothers and sisters on a farm. They were so poor that they couldn’t afford to go to school. The children had to work to support their family. One day, a famous teacher came to visit. He noticed that one boy was very smart. He took him to the city and helped him get better education. Later, the boy became a leader of the army(军队领袖).The girl and the boy are my great grandparents. I know a lot about them because I love genealogy, the study of families and their history. Genealogists use documents (文献), photos and people’s memories to explain and understand the story of a person’s life.Genealogy has become so popular that a TV channel started a documentary (纪录片) series called “ ________ ”. In this series, famous people (actors, football players and others) find out more about their family history and they often have very big surprises.14．Who did the girl get married to?A．A farmer.B．A teacher.C．A shoemaker.D．A soldier. 15．Which of the following pictures shows genealogy?A．B．C．D．16．What can be put in the “ ________ ” as the name of the documentary series?A．Who do you think you are?B．When do you think you were born?C．What job do you think fits you?D．How do you think we study history? 17．How is the text organized? (①=Paragraph 1; ①=Paragraph 2…)A．B．C．D．IS SUCCESS ABOUT LEARNING—OR SHOWING YOU’RE SMART?Benjamin once said, “I don’t divide (分) the world into the weak and the strong, or the successes and the failures. I divide the world into the learners and nonlearners.”What would make someone a nonlearner? Everyone is born with an intense drive (驱动力) to learn. Babies practise their skills daily, even the most difficult tasks of a lifetime, like learning to walk and talk. They never think it’s too hard. Babies don’t worry about making mistakes. They walk, they fall and they get up. They just move forward.What could put an end to this kind of learning? The fixed mindset (固定的思维模式). As soon as children become able to evaluate(评价) themselves, some of them become afraid of hard tasks. They become afraid of not being smart. I have studied thousands of students, and you can’t believe how many people refuse a chance to learn.We offered four-year-olds a choice (选择): They could red o an easy task or they could try a harder one. Even at this age, children with the fixed mindset—stuck with the safe one. Children with the growth mindset—the ones who believed you could get smarter by learning—thought it was a strange choice. Why are you asking me this? Why would anyone want to keep doing the same task over and over? They chose one hard one after another. “I’m dying to solve them!” one little girl said.So children with the fixed mindset want to make sure they are successful. Smart people should always be successful. But for children with the growth mindset, success is about practising themselves. It’s about learning to become smarter.One seventh-grade girl made a conclusion.“I think being smart is something you have to work for…it isn’t just given to you… Most kids, if they’re not sure of an answer, will not raise their hand to answer the question. But what I usually do is to raise my hand, because if I’m wrong, then my mistake will be corrected. Just by doing that I’m improving my ability.”18．What does the writer want to tell by using the example of babies in Paragraph 2?A．Walking and talking are very difficult.B．It’s easy for babies to learn different skills.C．People are born with abilities to learn.D．Babies need to face many tasks every day. 19．Which of the following is a fixed mindset according to the passage?A．Being happy with his own growth.B．Working hard and being thirsty to learn.C．Avoiding showing how smart he is.D．Being afraid of facing different failures. 20．What does the girl mean by saying “I’m dying to solve them!”?A．She can’t wait to give herself a task to practise.B．She thinks a healthy body can help learn better.C．She believes it’s painful to solve the problems.D．She doesn’t find it difficult to finish these tasks.21．What’s the main purpose of the passage?A．Be a good learner in babyhood.B．Stay active when facing difficulties.C．Show the importance of success.D．Make decisions and choices carefully.Though Sylvia had grown up among tall buildings and busy streets, she had recently found herself more at home in the Maine countryside, where she had come to help her aging grandmother. She let the cow out to walk in the nearby fields every morning and led it back home in the evenings, staying with the woods and her animal neighbours every day.One evening, when Sylvia walked back home from the fields, she saw a stranger coming out of the forest. When the man reached her, he explained that he was quite interested in collecting rare birds and was searching for the white heron (苍鹭) nested (筑巢) in the area according to his book. He asked if he could stay at her house. Though Sylvia was a little bit worried, she led him to her grandmother.Over dinner, Sylvia’s grandmother told the man how her son had loved making friends with animals while he enjoyed living in the wild and that Sylvia was just the same. On hearing the news, the man offered Sylvia a lot of money to help him find the white heron, telling that he planned to shoot (打猎) and put it into his collection. Sylvia knew her grandmother had little savings, so she accepted.The next day, Sylvia and the man searched the forest for the white heron, but they came back empty-handed. At first, Sylvia was afraid of the man’s shooting and collection plan. With some time passing by, she was surprised to find that he was a person with a warm heart and rich knowledge of birds. The two led the cow home together in the afternoon.Just before bed, Sylvia remembered that one tree in the forest stood taller than the rest. If she managed to climb it, she would surely find the heron’s nest below. The thought made her so excited that she couldn’t sleep. She finally got out of house in the early morning to find the heron before the man awoke.Reaching the top of the tree was a success in itself, but nothing was more amazing than the moment Sylvia truly saw the heron. High as a bird, she felt she and the heron were one, and she suddenly realized she couldn’t be part of its death. The man was waiting for her when she returnedhome, but she refused to help him any longer.Later, Sylvia wondered whether giving up the money—and the man’s friendship—was really worth (值得) the heron’s life, but the treasures she might have gained were easily forgotten among the beauty of the wild.—Synopsis(摘要) of A White Heron by Sarah Orne Jewett 22．Which of the following can best describe Sylvia and the bird collector?A．Weak and strong.B．Good and bad.C．Kind and social.D．Excited and calm.23．Why did Sylvia change her mind and refuse to help the man find the heron?A．She got a new understanding of the heron when she saw it.B．She knew that her grandmother didn’t really need the money.C．She found that the white heron was a special kind of rare bird.D．She learned that he planned to shoot and put it into his collection.24．Which is the right order according to the story?①Sylvia thought of the tallest tree at night.①Grandmother showed a warm welcome.①Sylvia knew more about the bird collector.①Bird collector offered money to get help.A．①①①①B．①①①①C．①①①①D．①①①①25．What can we infer from the story?A．Many people wanted the white heron.B．Sylvia decided to protect the white heron.C．Sylvia’s father was also a bird collector.D．The man became quite angry with Sylvia.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The European Citizen Card．D. The University of Texas Student Card．26.Each of the four cards ______ ．A. shows the date of birthB. expires at some timeC. shows the person's place of birthD. has its own number27.Which of the following is NOT true？______A. Michael T Wright can drive anywhere．B. Phyllis Roth is studying Biology．C. Jandra Jample is from Germany．D. Bob Harris is the oldest of all．BSome people make you feel comfortable when they are with you．You spend an hour talking to them and feel as if you have known them half your life．These good talkers have something similar．And once we know what it is，we can try to do it ourselves．First of all，good talkers ask questions．Almost anyone，however shy he is，will answer a question．One well-known businesswoman says，"At business lunches，I always ask people what they did that morning．It's a common question，but it will get things going．"From there you can move on to other matters-sometimes to really personal questions．And how he answers will let you know how far you can go．Second，once good talkers have asked questions，they listen to the answers．Your questions should have a point．This helps to tell what kind of person you are talking to．And to find out，you really have to listen carefully．Real listening at least means some things．It means not to change the subject of conversation very often．If someone sticks to （坚持）one topic，you can know that he's really interested in it．Moreover，real listening also means not just listening to words，but to tones （语调）of voice．If the voice sounds boring，then，it's time for you to change the subject．Finally，good talkers know well how to deal with the moment of leaving．If you're saying good-bye，you may give him a friendly handshake and say，"I've really enjoyed meeting you．"If you want to see that person again，don't keep it a secret．Let people know what you feel，and they may walk away feeling as if they've known you half their life．28. A real listener is a person who ______ ．A. always makes his voice sound livelyB. never changes the subject of the talkC. is good at making any topic interestingD. knows when they should change the topic29.Which of the following might a good talker say when he is leaving？______A. "I am looking forward to seeing you again．"B. "What did you do this morning？"C. "I think it's time to go now．Good-bye!"D. "The weather is really nice today!"30.If you really feel happy with meeting someone again，______ ．A. don't forget to keep it a secretB. it's necessary to stick to the topicC. it's necessary to let him know itD. it's proper to give him a second handshake．CDo you know the expression"apple-pie order"？It means in perfect order，or very well organized．Nobody is sure where and when the expression"apple-pie order"began．Some say that Scottish and English writers used the expression a long time ago．Others say it was first used in the northeastern American states known as New England．The housewives of New England cut their apples in even slices （均匀薄片）．Then they filled pie pans （平底锅）with them in an organized way-row upon row．As one writer said，the women of New England loved to have everything in its place．Maybe this explains why it is believed that the expression"apple-pie order"began in New England．At one time，the tomato was called a love apple．That was a mistake．This is how the mistake happened．In the sixteenth century，Spain imported （进口）the tomato from South America after Spanish Explorers （探险家）had landed there．Spain then exported the tomato to Morocco．Italian traders carried it on to Italy．The Italian name for the tomato was pomo di Moro-apple of the Moors．When French growers imported it from Italy，they thought di Moro meant d'amour，the French word for love．And so pomo di Moro became the apple of love．People believe many things about the apple．One belief is that it has great powers of keeping people healthy．A very common expression is" An apple a day keeps the doctor away．" Another belief is based on fact．The expression is"One rotten apple spoils the barrel．"When an apple begins to go bad，it ruins （毁坏）all the other apples around it in the container．The expression has come to mean that one bad person in a group can cause everyone to act bad．31.How many expressions are talked about in the passage？______A. Three．B. Four．C. Five．D. Six．32.What does the underlined part mean？______A. Doctors are afraid of eating apples．B. If you eat an apple every day，you'll be healthy．C. Doctors think it important to eat an apple every day．D. If you go to a doctor，he'll advise you to eat an apple every day．33.Which of the following is true？______A. Apples can cure diseases．B. A bad apple can make people ill．C. The tomato used to be called a love apple by the French．D. "Apple-pie order"began in New England．34.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？______A. Useful English ExpressionsB. Different Meanings of ApplesC. Apple Expressions and their StoriesD. Different uses of Apples．四、单词拼写-单句（本大题共9小题，共9.0分）35.When and where will the meeting be h______？36.They worked c______together for a month and became good friends．37.He shared with us a lot of interesting e______after returning from Egypt．38.The animal hid itself by______（挖） a hole in the ground．39.The new coach is strict and______（推）his players pretty hard．40.I have no other wish______（除了）to pass the examination．41.This is a simple project．______（然而），there are dangers．42.He often______（放松） himself in the night club after a week's tiring work．43.-What is the______of"beautiful"？-It's"ugly"．五、单句语法填空（本大题共2小题，共2.0分）44.-Punish them if they don't behave well．-But children quickly learn how to______punishment．45.-I'm going to do some exercise and try to lose some weight．-Are you______？I never see you get out of your chair!六、句型转换（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）46.We teach young children traffic rules for their safety．Traffic rules____________to young children for their safety．47.She is generous enough to share things with her friends．______generous______her to share things with her friends．48.Darren stopped playing football at the end of last season．Darren____________ football at the end of last season．49.The plane is 1ate for the airport again．The plane never arrives at the airport____________．50.Tina's decided to go to Rome for her holidays．Tina's____________her mind to go to Rome for her holidays．七、句子翻译（本大题共5小题，共15.0分）51.这对夫妇已经习惯过安静的乡村生活了．______．52.她的教学风格和多数教师类似．______．53.他发现要改善生活条件不容易．______．54.昨晚他直到熄灯了才睡．______．55.我们受到忠告不要冒险去那个国家旅游．______．八、书面表达（本大题共1小题，共20.0分）56.你校近期将举办"Good reading habits"的英文征文比赛．请你用英语写一篇短文参赛，内容包括以下要点：阅读习惯简要说明何时读每天阅读随身带书，有空就读读什么选合适的…随手记录…怎么读与人讨论…注意：1．词数80左右．短文的开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入总词数；2．短文须包括所有要点，不要逐词翻译，可适当发挥，使短文连贯、通顺．Reading makes a full man．It's very important to do more reading．I'd like to share with you my reading habits．First，make a reading plan at the beginning of the term．Second，．I hope everyone can form good reading habits and be a smart reader．答案和解析1.【答案】C【解析】正确答案：C．根据句意第一空特指中国历史，则应填写定冠词the，第二空泛指中国历史悠久，且long首字母发辅音音素[l]，则应填写a，故选择C．-我对中国历史很感兴趣．-我也是．和我们一样，中国是一个历史悠久的国家．本题考查冠词，基础题，掌握冠词与不定冠词的基本用法与区别，根据题干即可作出选择．2.【答案】C【解析】答案：C．考查名词．句意"--我听说你明年要去英国深造．--是的．所以我现在的主要任务是提高我的英语水平．"，A要点．B目的．C任务．D科目．task多指，学习，工作等的"任务"，结合语境，可知答案是C．--我听说你明年要去英国深造．--是的．所以我现在的主要任务是提高我的英语水平．名词的用法比较广泛，要在理解名词意思的基础，根据具体语境，仔细分析，完成试题．3.【答案】A【解析】答案：A 根据前句how are you feeling today可知，这是"今天"和"昨天"的两者之间的比较，应该用形容词的比较级形式；又根据much+形容词或副词的比较级，表示：更…"，形容词well的比较级是better，故选A．-杰克，今天觉得怎么样？-好多了，我认为明天能去上学了．判断形容词或副词的比较级和最高级，主要是看几者之间的比较．两者之间用比较级，三者或三者以上比较用最高级形式．注意英语中有些词用来修饰形容词或副词的比较级形式，这些词有much/a little/even/far等．4.【答案】B【解析】句意：这两个双胞胎长相看起来完全一样，但性格截然不同。
