He rushed into his house and looked for his baby son.The cradle was lying on its side on the floor. The clothes were torn and there was blood on them.“So you have killed my son?” the Prince said angrily. “You unfaithful dog!” He took out his sword and killed the dog. Just as Gelert was dying,he managed to bark. Then the Prince heard a baby call to the dog.The Prince ran out of the house and saw his son lying on the ground unhurt. Near him was a dead wolf.Then the Prince knew that Gelert had defended the baby and killed the wolf.The Prince ran back into the house but he was too late. Gelert was dead.The Prince was very sad indeed. Tears ran down his face when he realized ‘he had killed his faithful friend.’ The Prince carried the body of his brave dog to the top of a mountain and buried hi there.

It has made people all over China become interested in writing Chinese characters(汉字).The increasing use of computers and smart phones has left most young people hardly able to write by hand. Many of them are even unable to remember the 10,000 characters used in daily life without electronic help.CCTV started the Chinese Character Dictation Competition (汉字听写大赛)to improve the population’s handwriting skills. Contestants(参与者)on the show were school pupils, but it was found that 70 % of adults in the audience(观众)were unable to remember how to write the word “chan chu”.Because computers allow people to type characters simply by entering pinyin(拼音), they don’t need to remember how to write them. “The keyboard age has had a big influence on the handwriting of Chinese characters.”Guan Zhengwen, who designed and directed the show said. He added that he hoped to encourage people to keep it alive as an art form.Hao Mingjian, an editor of a magazine, putting his heart into Chinese characters,said,“Learning Chinese characters goes on throughout your life. If you stop using them for a long time, it is very likely that you will forget them.”Answer the questions according to the passage.76. Are Chinese people interested in writing Chinese characters now?77. What has left most young people hardly able to write by hand?78. Why did CCTV start the Chinese Character Dictation Competition?79. How do computers allow people to type characters simply?80. What can you learn from the passage?八、书面表达。

广州市初中英语八年级下册期末测试题(含答案)
一、选择题1.Mr. Green is trying to make possible for the students to learn English easily in his class. A.that B.it C.this D.them B解析:B【解析】句意:Green先生正在努力的使学生们在他的课堂上容易地学习英语成为可能。
that那,那个;it它;this这,这个;them他们。
这句话中使用的句型是make it+形容词+for sb. to do sth.使某人做某事是…的,其中it是形式宾语,真正的宾语是动词不定式。
故应选B。
2.﹣I'm afraid of giving a speech in public.﹣______ I believe you can do it well.A.Take it easy.B.That's right.C.No problem.A解析:A【解析】【详解】句意:-我害怕在公共场合做演讲。
-放松点,我相信你能做得很好。
考查情境对话。
A放松;B那是对的;C没问题。
结合语境可知,这里应给对方安慰,表示"放松",故选A。
3.During Beijing World Garden Expo 2019, _______ tourists from other countries visit it every day.A.two thousands B.thousand of C.thousands of D.two thousand of C 解析:C【解析】【详解】句意:在2019年北京世博会期间,每天都有成千上万的来自其他国家的游客参观。
考查单位数词。
数词(或表示数词的形容词)+ thousand:表示具体的几千;thousands of:数以千计的,成百上千的,许许多多的,表示模糊数字。
