2019-2020学年八年级下学期期中英语试题
本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分，共12页，满分为120分。考试用时90分钟。
注意事项：
1、答卷前，考生务必用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔将自己的姓名和学号填写在答题卡和答卷密封线内相应的位置上，用2B铅笔将自己的学号填涂在答题卡上。
2、选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案；不能答在试卷上。
5.They are too busy. They have to________Mrs Green________their housework.
A.pay; e; forC.spend; onD.take; to do
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：他们太忙了。他们不得不给格林太太付钱让她做家务。
考查动词短语。pay…for付钱；use…for作……用；spend…on花时间或钱在某物上；take…to do花时间做某事。根据“too busy”可知此处他们太忙自己没时间做家务，需要花钱让格林太太做家务，用pay sb. for sth.的结构。故选A。
6.The man________from his seat and________a difficult question.
【点睛】make是使役动词，其后跟省略to的不定式作宾语补足语，make sb. do sth.表达“让某人做某事”例如The teacher made him wait outside.在被动语态的句子中，则要还原不定式的符号to。例如He was made to wait outside。make sb. doing sth.表达“让某人一直做某事”，强调动作的持续性。make sb. done中done是动词的过去分词形式，表达“让某人被……”，表示一种被动的含义。
考查动词的时态。根据“for seven years”和“since”可知时间状语从句部分用一般过去时态，而主句用现在完成时态。“来到这个学校”是过去发生的动作，用came；而”教数学教了七年”是持续性的动作，用has taught。故选B。
2.After staying here for one year, you can speak Chinese________us.
A.as good asB.as better asC.as well asD.as best as
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：在这儿待了一年之后，你可以讲中文讲得和我们一样好。
考查副词。根据动词“speak Chinese”可知此处用副词；表示同级比较用“as+副词+as”;此处用as well as表达“你讲中文和我们一样好”。故选C。
7.The cruel boss made the boy________day and night.
A.workingB.to workC.workD.worked
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：冷酷的老板让那个男孩日以继夜地工作。
考查动词做宾补。working动名词；to work动词不定式；work动词原形；worked动词过去式。make是使役动词,表示“使某人做某事，让某人干某事”用固定结构make sb. do；此处用动词原形做宾语补足语。故选C。
8.—I have studied for half a day. Can I stop________a rest?
—Sure. Then you should continue________an e-mail to your grandparents.
A.having; writingB.to have; to writeC.having; to writeD.to have; writing
A.raises; to riseB.raised; roseC.rises; to raiseD.rose; raised
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：那个男人从座位上站起来然后提了一个很难的问题。
考查动词。句子讲述过去发生的事情，用一般过去时态。raise是及物动词，后面要跟宾语，表达“使上升，让上升”。rise是不及物动词，不需要接宾语，表达“自己上升，自己起来”。句中第一处表示“那个男人自己从座位上站起来”用不及物动词rise的过去式rose。第二处根据宾语a difficult question可知此处用及物动词raised表达提问题。故选D。

I nodded. “And that is 27 of people, too,” she added.When I realized that she had 28 my pain, I started to cry and told her the truth.“You will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her.Over the next few weeks, I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally 29 .A few minutes before the play, I felt nervous. Just then, my teacher came over to me. “Your mother asked me to give this to you,” she said, handing me a dandelion.

Outside, my father and Mr. Patrick were preparing firewood. Inside their own houses, my mother and Mrs. Patrick were busy with spring cleaning.Somehow a few boys ran to the field with their kites, catching everyone’s attention nearby. My mother looked at the messy room. Again she looked out of the window. “Come on, girls! Let’s watch the boys fly kites.” On the way, we me t Mrs. Patrick, laughing in shame as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls.We played with the boys and watched the kites fly higher and higher. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dance in the wind, and finally brought it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again. Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. At that moment we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty, and children forgot their everyday fights.The strange thing was that we didn’t mention that day afterward. So I locked the memory up in my heart.Years went on. Then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen, while my daughter was crying “go park, see duck”. “No.” I said. “I have lots of things to do, and when I’m through I’ll be tired”.My mom, who was visiting us, offered “It’s a warm day with breeze. Do you remember the day we flew kites?” I stopped my work with a rush of memories. Then I told my little girl, “Let’s go! It’s too good a day to miss.”Another decade passed. I visited the youngest Patrick boy who was badly ill. A smile slipped out from his pale lips, “Do you remember—no, of course you wouldn’t. It probably didn’thave the influence on you as it did on me.” “Remember what?” “The day we flew kites.”34．Mrs. Patrick was laughing in shame, because she thought ________.A．she was too old to fly kite B．her girls could fly kites wellC．her husband would made fun of her D．she should do housework instead of playing 35．The underlined sentence “we were all beside ourselves” in Paragraph 3 probably means________.A．we were hard on ourselves B．we lost everythingC．we went back home D．we went wild with joy36．The writer decided to take her daughter to the park after she ________.A．thought of the day she flew kites B．realized her job as a motherC．made sure the weather was fine D．finished all the housework37．The writer tells the story of the youngest Patrick boy to show that ________.A．a light heart lives long B．people treasure happy memoriesC．life is full of ups and downs D．childhood friendship lasts foreverChatGPT is back in the headlines. Open AI, the company behind the popular chatbot has now introduced a powerful new language model: GPT-4.On March 14, GPT-4 showed the world how smarter it is than the previous GPT-3.5. One of its best new features is that it can understand pictures. For example, if you show a picture of a phone using the wrong charger, GPT-4 can tell why the picture looks strange or funny.But GPT-4’s developments don’t stop there. The new language model can code classic games like Tetris (俄罗斯方块) in a matter of minutes, and produce the code and layout (布局) for a website based on a handmade drawing. It can also change the tone and style based on what you ask it to do. GPT-4 is much better than the older GPT at passing tests, which may worry teachers. According to CNN, GPT-4 did really well on a law school test, with a score in the top 10 percent of test takers. But GPT-3.5 only got a score in the bottom 10 percent.GPT-4 will also see greater use as a tool to power other apps and services. For example, the language learning app Duolingo plans to use GPT-4 in their upcoming version, Duolingo Max. Users can learn language by talking with AI. Another app, Be My Eyes, will have a digital assistant to help blind people better understand the world around them. The government of Iceland alsoplans to use GPT-4 to protect the Icelandic language.There are still problems with the new language model, however. GPT-4 struggles to get completely correct answers, especially with newer information after September 2021. GPT-4 also sometimes “hallucinates”, meaning that it will insist that wrong information is true.38．What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A．GPT-4 can create funny pictures.B．GPT-4 can tell if a phone is recharging.C．GPT-3.5 cannot understand pictures.D．GPT-4 cannot respond faster than GPT-3.5. 39．Which of the following abilities of GPT-4 are mentioned?①understanding pictures①coding classic games①producing the layout for a website①changing the tone and style①getting completely correct answers①powering other apps and servicesA．①①①①①B．①①①①①C．①①①①①D．①①①①①40．According to the text, what is true about GPT-4?A．GPT-4 can beat 90% of human test takers in all tests.B．GPT-4 is less preferred by apps and services.C．GPT-4 sometimes is unable to decide whether the information is true or not.D．GPT-4 couldn’t get correct answers before Sept 2021.41．Where is this text most likely from?A．A technology newspaper.B．A science fiction.C．A computer guidebook.D．A fashion magazine.Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 percent of what we really mean while words only express 7 percent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying.Arms.How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive (能容纳的) you are to people you meet. If you keep your arms to sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of anything. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you’re unhappy!Head. When you want to show you are confident, keep your head level. However, to befriendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little.Legs. Your legs will move around a lot more than usual when you are nervous or telling lies.Posture. A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling unhappy, you usually don’t sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult and makes you feel nervous or uncomfortable.Face. When you lie, you might put on a false face. But that expression would not last long. And your true emotions such as happiness, sadness, fear and so on will come through. 42．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．People.B．Arms.C．Bodies.D．Movements.43．If you want to look confident, what should you do?A．Move your arms a lot.B．Keep your head level.C．Move your head a little.D．Cross your arms.44．Which of the following movements tells you are nervous?A．Your legs move around a lot more than usual.B．You sit straight and hold your head up.C．You keep the arms to the sides of the body.D．You put on a false face to hide your uneasiness.45．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．Body Language, the Most Powerful LanguageB．Arms Tell More than LegsC．Facial Expressions Tell the TruthD．Posture Shows the Mind阅读短文及文后A~E选项，选出可以填入各题空白处的最佳选项。
