I looked at the audience(观众). It was noisy and then became quiet. I started playing the guitar and singing.Suddenly, the guitar got broken. I stopped singing and didn’t know what to do. At that time, I heard one boy shouting, “You could do it!” And then everyone started shouting. I took a deep breath and sang again.Many people told me I did a great job after my performance.

My show experienceBIn 1981, the Chinese women’s volleyball team first stood on the top at theWorld Cup. And in 2019, it defended(保住) its World Cup crown with a record of 11wins. The women’s volleyball team has been the pride of the Chinese people. Tohonor it, a film named Leap《夺冠》in English has been made.Based on the volleyball team’s stories, the film shows the struggles(奋斗) and achievements(成就) ofthe Chinese women’s volleyball t eam over the past 40 years. Gong Li, a world-famous Chinese actress, plays the role(角色) of Lang Ping, who has won the world championships many times with the team and is now the team’s head coach. In order to play the role well, Gong came to the training s ite of the team, observing Lang’s words and deeds(举止) carefully.Zhu Ting, captain of the Chinese women’s volleyball team, also plays a part in the film. It is the first time that she has taken part in a film shooting and she says it’s a little bit difficu lt. However, her playing volleyball is more difficult than being an actress. It took her at least 10 years to rise to fame(成名) in the field but playing herself in the film could be realized in a short time.The film hit the screen in January, 2020. The Chi nese women’s volleyball team not only is a competitive sports team but also shows the spirit(精神) of struggling and never giving up.61. When did the Chinese women’s volleyball team first win the world championship?A. in 2020B. in 1981C. in 2019D. in 198262. The underlined word “observ ing” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ____________.A. 听B. 完成C. 理解D. 观察63. What is mentioned about Zhu Ting?A. She thinks it’s easy to be an actress.B.

Keep on fighting.B. Failure is the mother of success.C. Learn from mistakes.D. Seeing is believing.65. Where is the passage possibly from?A. A story book.B. An advertisement.C. A film magazine.D. A tour guide.CEver wonder why you can go over a book again and again and still be lost when tested on what you read? It may be because you haven’t practiced remembering.Remembering is a useful way to help us learn. Some of us remember best by listening; others byre-reading; and others learn best by using pictures and diagrams(图表). Schools try many of these different ways to help students “download” new information.But a recent study from Purdue University, US, says that successful learning means being able to recall information at any moment.“Our view is that learning is not about studying or getting knowledge ‘in memory’,” said Jeffrey Karpicke, the lead researcher. “Learning is about retrieving(寻回, 检索). So it is important to make retrieval practice an important part of the learning process.The research studied two groups of students. Both groups learned something from a text. One group made diagrams about the text. This method(方法) is called concept mapping. The other group put the text away after learning it and tried recalling the concepts from memory.Then, both groups were tested(被测试) on the information they had learned. Both groups scored well at recalling the learned information. However, when they were asked to return one week later, the group who made diagrams scored better than the group who did not use concept mapping. So by drawing concept maps, we are able to recall information far better, which will help us to study.Our mind, just like our body, has to practice activities to become good at them.66. Which of the following ways of remembering is NOT mentioned(提及) in Paragraph 2?A. Listening.B. Re-reading.C. Speaking.D. Using pictures and diagrams.67. According to Jeffrey Karpicke, learning is about _______.A. studying knowledge from memoryB. getting and recalling knowledgeC. practicing drawing photos and mapsD. getting knowledge from memory68. What does the underlined part “concept mapping” in Paragraph 5 mean in Chinese?A. 心电图B. 概念图C. 规划图D. 线路图69. When both groups were tested on the information after one week, _______.A. they both scored wellB. the group that didn’t use concept mapping scored betterC. neither of the groups scored wellD. the group using concept mapping scored better70. What can we tell from the story?A. Our minds need to practice to remember things.B. It’s impossible to remember everythingwe’ve learned.C. How to get knowledge by concept mapping.D. Concept mapping is the only way to learn.第二部分非选择题（共65分）五、词汇运用（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）A. 根据句意和汉语提示，在空白处填入一个适当的单词(每空限一词)。

某某省某某市2020-2021学年下学期八年级英语期中试卷分类汇编任务型阅读某某省泰兴市济川初级中学2020-2021学年八年级下学期期中考试英语试题六、任务型阅读（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分）Recently five Chinese teachers were invited to teach a group of British teenagers, using Chinese teaching methods. It has caused a great discussion in China and in many countries of the West. What can educators learn from each other? Forum（论坛）readers share their opinions.Ted M（UK）Students in China are raised to study for long hours, with great expectations （期望）and demands. Yet they have little social life and there is no encouragement for joy of lifelong learning. In the West, students are taught to enjoy learning, questioning, active learning and problem solving. They have a broad and balanced education, including social learning.Leonard Wong（Singapore）The Chinese language requires rote（死记硬背）learning. It seems boring, but it trains the mind to focus（关注）on what is important and good study habits. These habits offer them a lot even at a later age. More could be done to encourage children to express their opinions about the things they meet.Michael M（US）My personal belief is that the biggest advantages of Chinese secondary education are:1. Longer hours at school.2. Full of challenges.3. Students are expected higher.4. More lecture-based lessons. This is great preparation for college.TAL123（China）If I had a child, I think I’d consider Chinese education for part of their learning. I think the middle school years are a good time for them to develop strong basic skills in math, reading and memory, etc, that the Chinese system teaches well. But children need the freedom to explore, express, inquire and understand. In my view, the chief weakness in China’s system is that students usually can’t do thingsby themselves. Students do not bee good learners, they only bee good test takers.Different people have different opinions on what is right and wrong with teaching and learning. Each country has its own unique（独特的）educational culture that is a product of years, centuries of experiment and practice, and which reflects（反映）the traditional values of its society.某某省兴化市2020-2021学年八年级下学期期中考试英语试题五、任务型阅读阅读下面的材料, 根据材料内容完成表格, 每空1词, 每词1分, 共10分In the USA, there are many kinds of restaurants.Fast food restaurants are very famous.

You don't wait for the waitress to show you where to sit. She usually brings you coffee when you sit down. You tell her what you'd like to eat and she brings it to you. You pay the cashier （收银员）as you leave.In a family restaurant, the waitress shows you where you can sit. Often the waitress tells you her name, but you don't need to tell her your name. If you can't finish eating everything, your waitress gives you a doggy bag to take the rest of food home. You should add fifteen per cent to the bill （账单）as a tip.In top class restaurants, you had better order before you e, and you need to arrive on time. The waiter shows you where to sit.

I appreciate the opportunity to spend quality time with my mom but it is painful for me to see her house littered with stuff.Clothes bought but never worn, and new items in their original packaging carelessly purchased and never used. It’s evident that seeing the stuff on a daily basis reminds my mom of a time when shopping was her way of spending money.I didn’t fully understand the extent to which my mom was suffering until this week, when I saw piles of clothes on her bed. “How do you manage to sleep every night with all that stuff, Mom?” I asked. To my horror, she replied, “I do it because I know I have to get rid of all this stuff eventually; I am punishing myself by sleeping with them until I do that. ”Shocked and upset, I gently explained to her that punishing herself was only to make things worse,and that everybody deserves a place to sleep in peace, no matter what mistakes they’ve made. I suggested she move all the stuff upstairs, leaving her room comfortable tosleep in.With patience and her slow but steady guidance, I helped her go through some of the piles and move them upstairs. For the rest of the week I stayed there, she was in a better mood and was excited about going through the rest of the house to finally get rid of her stuff—past mistakes and painful times. The items brought back painful memories as we inspected and moved them, but I kept reminding her that removing them would allow her to move on and heal. We finally sold so many things and took bag after bag to charity.The stuff is just a sign of the destructive patterns of self-hatred on past mistakes.

The annual shift from winter to spring is a breathtaking event to watch as leaves become green and a lush(苍翠的) environment reveals itself. Recently aresearch takes a look at why trees in cities are turning green earlier than expected.Scientists use satellite imagery to see when plants turn green. By comparing spring green ups in the 85 largest US cities, scientists found that on average trees start to turn green nine days earlier in cities due to the combined effect of artificial lights and urban heat effect.According to the findings, one of the reasons is the artificial light. City lights brightening the night skies, billboard signs lit up on roadways and car headlights all contribute to shifting the regular day to night cycle that plants and trees rely on. In order to stay alive during cruel winters, trees hit the pause button on their growth. Since temperatures can vary dramatically throughout the winter, the length of daylight is the signal trees look for to safely start growing again and turn green.On average cities are typically 1.8 to 5.4F warmer than rural areas. This is known as the urban heat island effect. The changes in city environments may affect seasonal changes even more than climate warming and mosquito season, water cycles, and also affect pollinators(授粉媒介).Despite the worries and concern, it isn’t all bad news. “With a longer growing season, trees would be able to absorb more carbon dioxide,” A researcher said. “Hopefully they’d have a longer period to do the cooling effect that can help relieve the urban heating effect in cities.”8．What is the purpose of the text?A．To reveal how trees survive bitter winters.B．To warn how human activities disturb nature.C．To explain why trees turn green earlier in cities.D．To clarify how trees turning green earlier benefits cities.9．How did the scientists conduct their research?A．Bringing out urban heat island effect.B．Comparing the green-up time in sample cities.C．Allowing the city environment to reveal itself.D．Developing pictures shot by the satellite.10．Which of the following elements contributes to trees turning green earlier?A．Plant pollinators.B．Water cycle.C．Road signs.D．Street lamps.11．In which section of a website can the text be found?A．Environment.B．Education.C．Entertainment.D．Business.Experts analyzed how language can affect children’s lives and the role it plays in everyday life They also determined which languages tend to lead to the best career opportunities as an adult. “We believe that language learning is hugely beneficial for children’s development and it is a real investment for the future,” said Antonella Sorace, professor of developmental linguistics (语言学) at Edinburgh University. The study involved a survey of 2,001 parents with children under the age of 18, as well as another survey of more than 500 business leaders.So which languages took the top spot? Results indicated that children should be learning French, German, and/or Chinese if they want to be successful within the next ten years. Mastering a second language opens the door to new markets for businesses and allows them to create new relationships with potential partners. Besides being able to speak another language, the academic and interpersonal skills that can be acquired from learning a new language are important as well. “Children who are exposed to different languages become more aware of different cultures, other people, and other points of view. They also tend to be better than monolinguals (只用单语的人) at multitasking and are often more advanced readers,” said Sorace.A vast majority of parents surveyed in this study (85 percent) believe it is important for their children to learn a second language, and about one in four believe it will increase their child’s career opportunities and improve their chance of being employed. The future employment markets are in need of space tour guides, robot coaches, front-line e-commerce workers, nurses etc. No matter what a child choose to be, multilinguals and cross-culture talents will probably have a good chance to take the lead. However, 45 percent of parents surveyed admit that their child or children cannot speak a second language.If you want your child to stand out from the crowd, follow the habits of parents of successful people-give children chores, set high but realistic expectations, get yourself educated, make time for bonding, accept and recognize their feelings—and, of course, make sure they learn one of the three success languages!12．Who might be a person that took part in the survey?A．A young technician with no child.B．A farmer with a 19-year-old child.C．A librarian with a 16-year-old child.D．A middle-aged reporter with no child.13．What are the benefits of people’s mastering a second language?① Developing one’s strong will.① Improving the ability to observe things.① Acquiring academic and interpersonal skills.① Having access to new markets for businesses.① Forming new relationships with potential partners.A．①①①B．①①①C．①①①D．①①①14．How many parents surveyed believe learning a second language will increase their child’s career opportunities?A．About 500.B．About 600.C．About 700.D．About 800. 15．What is the aim of the last paragraph?A．To present some parents’ opinions.B．To offer readers some suggestions.C．To explain some concepts.D．To tell readers a story.二、七选五Being a good neighbor matters-not only because it makes life more pleasant, but also because being a good neighbor is part of being a good person.Being a good neighbor has a lot to do with respecting privacy. 16 , give neighbors a lot of space and try to sense when it’s appropriate to back off (退避).17 . Helping with physical work is one good way to establish trust. If your neighbor is going to be moving some heavy furniture, or needs help in fixing something you know your way around, offer to help out. Once you’re getting familiar, this assistance can also extend to things like house-sitting (替人看家) or collecting the mail while your neighbor is away. Eventually, the day may come when you’re asked to take care of their kids. 18 if you accept it.It should go without saying that pet owners need to care for their animals properly.19 . There are few things more annoying for neighbors than a dog that uses their lawns (草坪) as a toilet, or that barks endlessly while chained up in a backyard. Don’t mess around—be a kind and responsible pet owner.There are times when a certain level of noise is fine and there are times when it isn’t.20 . Turn the music down a bit after sunset, and further reduce the volume as it getstoward 10 p.m. It’s usually fine to throw an occasional loud party as long as the neighbors are invited or have been informed.A．It’s good to know the differenceB．This includes cleaning up after themC．It’s often best to mind your own businessD．You had better say congratulations to your neighbourE．Your family pet can be left in the trust of a neighbourF．You’ll probably end up playing with and entertaining these childrenG．But it’s just as important to know when the time is right to offer some help三、完形填空I was getting more excited as we got off the train at beautiful Grand Central Station.24．A．taxi B．car C．carriage D．bus 25．A．covered B．hidden C．forgotten D．stolen 26．A．arrived B．disappeared C．gone D．challenged 27．A．dirty B．useful C．old D．narrow 28．A．shown B．struck C．packed D．replaced 29．A．put off B．brought about C．suffered from D．came out 30．A．application B．document C．schedule D．delivery 31．A．Disappointed B．Shocked C．Confused D．Frightened 32．A．voice B．word C．speed D．moment 33．A．gradually B．completely C．frequently D．officially 34．A．though B．yet C．ever D．before 35．A．comparison B．accident C．design D．nature四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
