Here are two of the cities listed as “the world’s best.”SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA The city has comfortable weather all year round (15℃ to 26℃). Housing is not very expensive in San Jose. Also, many of the city’s older neighborhoods are very beautiful and have small hotels and cafés. Beautiful mountains are around the city. You can visit them easily from San Jose. So Lots of people go sightseeing there every year. But air pollution is a problem in the city center.HONG KONG, CHINA This lively city—once a small fishing village—is today an international business center. It is an interesting mix of East and West, old and new. Modern tall buildings are next to small temples (庙宇). Popular nightclubs are close to traditional teahouses. Busy people fill the streets at all hours of the day. But outside the city, there are parks for walking or relaxing. Hong Kong is famous for its wonderful native dishes. There’s also food from Europe, North America, and other parts of Asia. However, this small cityhas a large population(人口). nearly seven million people live in Hong Kong! That’s why housing is often very expensive. Traffic and air pollution are also a problem.( )46. Which of the following is NOT mentioned(提及) about San Jose?A. The weather.B. The mountains.C. The air.D. The traffic.( )47. What makes Hong Kong the world's best according to this passage?A. The lively city and the wonderful dishes.B. The beautiful mountains and the lively city.C. The expensive housing and the foodD. The city and the people.( )48. From the passage, we can know that .A. San Jose and Hong Kong are the only two cities of the world's bestB. San Jose has more natural sights than Hong Kong doesC. the weather in both cities is fineD. Hong Kong is the more popular city of the two.BHeight is just one of the thousands of features that your genes (基因) decide. In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then maybe you will be tall, too, but if you have questions about how tall you’re going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out.But genes don’t decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential (潜力). Getting enough sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the right height.Maybe you’re wondering how fast you should grow. There’s no right answer. Kids grow about 2 inches (5 centimeters) a year between age 3 and the time they start puberty.Your doctor will know how your growth (生长) has been going over the years. Two centimeters here and 2 inches there are not nearly as important as the height you’re at now, how you’ve been growing up to this point, and what other changes your body may be going through.Don’t be worried if you have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a very quick growth during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later —between 7 and 13 for girls, 9 and 15 for boys.You’ll usually begin to find that you’re growing faster about a year after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.( )49. The Chinese for the underlined word in the third paragraph “puberty”is.A. 童年时期B. 婴幼儿时期C. 习惯养成期D. 青春期( )50. If you want to know how fast and how tall you should grow, .A. you should have enough exerciseB. you can ask doctors for helpC. you should protect the environmentD. you can record your growth during puberty( )51. After reading this passage, we can explain (解释) .A. how good it is to be a doctorB. how much sleep we needC. why genes can’t decide everythingD. what an unhealthy diet isCThere are many expressions with heart. One of them is to“lose your heart”to someone. When that happens, you have fallen in love. But if the person who “won your heart” does not love you, then you are sure to have a “broken heart”. In your sadness, you think that the person you loved is “hard-hearted”，and in fact，has a “heart of stone”.You may decide to “pour out your heart” to a friend. Telling someone about your personal problems can often make you feel better.If your friend does not seem to understand how painful your broken heart is，you may ask her to “have a heart”. You are asking your friend to show some sympathy (同情）for your situation. Your friend “has her heart in the right place” if she says she is sorry for how you feel.If your friend says，“My heart bleeds(流血）for you”，she means the opposite. She is a cold-hearted person who does not really care about your situation.When you are feeling afraid，“your heart is in your mouth”. You might say，for example, that your heart was in your mouth when you asked a bank to lend you some money for a new house.If that bank says no to you, do not “lose heart”. Be “strong-hearted”. Sit down with the banker and have a “heart to heart” talk. Be open and honest about your situation. The bank may have a “change of heart” and agree to lend you the money. Then you can stop worrying and “put your heart at rest”.( )52. If the person who won your heart does not love you, what do you think of her?A. She has a strong heart.B. She has a heart of stone.C. She has a broken heart.D. She loses his or her heart.( )53. If your friend has her heart in the right place, she may .A. be kind to youB. tell you about her personal informationC. not care much about youD. have a right heart( )54. Which expression can best describe the feeling when a student has to see his headmaster?A. A broken heart.B. Lose one’s heart.C. Heart in one’s mouth.D. Have a heart.( )55. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Do not lose heart if your request is refused.B. A “he art to heart” talk means being open to the banker.C. A strong-hearted person always puts his heart at rest.D. The bank lends money to those who need most.第Ⅱ卷主观题（共35分）五、词汇运用（8分）(A)根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式（4分）1.

Had the teacher seen her? To her surprise, the teacher was yawning, too. He took a deep breath and opened his mouth wide. He closed his eyes a bit and let out his breath in a big, slow yawn. Then Betty heard other yawns. The teache r said, “Betty yawned because our doors and windows are closed. And the room is warm. Her body needed more air. Maybe she yawned because she was tired. Or she just needed to move a bit. Do you feel better now, Betty?” he asked. “Yes,” said Betty. “Yawns wake us up,” the teacher said. “When you yawn, you can stretch (伸展) many parts of your body. That stretching makes you feel good.”There were more yawns in the classroom. “People do not know why they yawn,” the teacher said. “But if you see a yawn, hear one, or even read about one, you may yawn too. And once your yawn starts, you can’t stop it at all. You may close your mouth to stop it. But the yawn will still come at once.” The teacher stood up and said, “Let’s open the windows and let fresh air in. You ma yalso go out for a drink. A cold drink or water on your face helps to stop yawns. Betty may go first.”How do you feel now after you have read this story? Did you yawn? Watch a friend read this.

He had never seen such beautiful falcons before. He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.After several months, the king came to see how the training was going on. He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while the other was staying on the branch（树枝）of a tree quietly, just keeping still.The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other falcon fly. But none of them succeeded. One day, while the king was taking a walk in the forest, an idea came to his mind. Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could solve this problem. He asked for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.The next morning, the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely, “it is unbelievable!” shouted the king. How could you make it happen?”The farmer replied, “ It's very easy. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested. ”It is always the same to human beings. We all have "two flying wings" in our hearts as well, but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we just for safety and comfort. We won't realize we can fly so high and freely until the "branch" we are resting on breaks.46. What did the king do after he got the two falcons?A. He kept them on the branch of a tree.B. He sent them to a farmer in the forest.C. He set them free and let them fly in the sky.D. He made the best falconer train them to fly.47. Why did the king call all his falconers together?A. Because he wanted to get more falcons.B. Because he wanted the other falcon to fly.C. Because he wanted them to see his falcons.D. Because he wanted to know more about his falcons.48. Who finally made the other falcon fly freely in the sky?A. The king.B. The king's son.C. The farmer.D. The best falconer.49. How did the king feel when he saw the other falcon fly freely in the sky?A. Excited.B. Moved.C. Worried.D. Relaxed.50. What is the best title for the text?A. The Wise KingB. The Nice FalconsC. The Best FalconerD. The Flying Wings.BSan Francisco has its cable cars. Seattle has its Space Needle. And, Longview has its squirrel （松鼠）bridge. The bridge is now a local landmark.The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder, Amos Peters, to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without being hurt by passing cars.Before the bridge was built, squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza office building. Many times, Peters and other workers saw squirrels being run over.One day Peters found a dead squirrel, and that day's coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety. The group of businessmen came up the squirrel bridge idea and named the bridge "Nutty Narrows. ”Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started to build the bridge. It cost $1, 000.It didn't take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started. Squirrels were even seen guiding their young and teaching them the ropes. The story was picked up by the media, and Nutty Narrows became known in newspapers all over the world.In 1983, after 20 years of use, Peters took down the worn-out bridge. Repairs were made and crosspieces（横木）were replaced. The sign was repainted and in July 1983, hundreds of animal lovers attended the completion ceremony of the new bridge.Peters died in 1984, and a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture（雕像）was placed near the bridge in memory of its builder and his devotion（奉献）to the project.51.

But sometimes he made wrong choices.One day, his father gave him ten dollars and asked him to buy some goldfish. When he got to the market, he found that the killifish（蛛鱼）looked like small goldfish, and they were much cheaper. So he bought some killifish and kept the rest of the money for himself.When he got home, his father realized what Andrew did at once. He put the fish in the tank （鱼缸）without saying anything at first. He knew his son didn't buy the right fish. At the same time, he thought his son might have an advantage in marketing （市场销售）. And he should think of a way to help his son grow well. He had an idea. Then he said to his son, “Andrew, do you know what you bought yesterday? Are they goldfish?” Andrew didn't know what to say. His father continued, °Tm glad you know how to save money. But it's not right to be dishonest. You should do things honestly, or others won't trust you. " Then he helped Andrew start with some chores, like buying daily things, helping his uncle in the store and managing his own pocket money. Later, Andrew worked as a salesman.

海宁市南苑中学2018-2019学年第二学期期中考试八年级英语试卷2019.4一、完型填空（本题有15小题；每小题1分；共计15分）I once had little passion(激情) in my life. But what happened the other day changed my mind. It was then that I learned how 1 it is to have a passion in life.That day I went home in Mom’s car. When Mom 2 at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my eye. It was a man dressed 3 old clothes. He was homeless. That didn’t interest me, because I had seen 4 like him before. Those people usually looked unhappy and hopeless.But this man was 5 in some way. He was not sitting down 6 but dancing happily to the music with a 7 in his hand. The radio seemed to be the most important thing for him.“Mom, why does that man have a radio 8 he’s homeless?” I asked.“He 9 it,” she answered.“10 why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He paid for something that he didn’t need.”“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the most important.”That man must care more about 11 than food or clothes. I soon realized that 12 is the key to life.Since then I am always 13 what is truly important in life. A home, a meal, clothes—these things are 14 part of the life. What we often forget is that we all need a joy, a light in a 15 day. We all need a passion which gives a person the happiness to keep going.1. A. strange B. important C. dangerous D. difficult2. A. stood B. stopped C. walked D. exercised3. A. in B. on C. by D. for4. A. none B. few C. all D. many5. A. rude B. polite C. common D. different6. A. sadly B. seriously C. proudly D. happily7.

A. warm B. hot C. dark D. bright【答案】1-5 BBADD 6-10 ACDDC 11-15 BCBAC二、阅读理解（本题有15小题；每小题2分；共计30分）AWhen I was a child, my parents always told me that I should never talk to strangers. This was part of a whole list of things I should never do: Never accept food or candy from strangers, neverget in a car with strangers, and so on.But if we didn’t start a conversation with strangers, we’d never make new friends. We’d never get a job. We may miss the happiness that comes from talking with strangers. And the more people you know, the more chances you can get.The following passage offers you some advice on how to break the ice.Don’t just look at your shoes. Go and say “Hi” to that new guy. It will be easier to break the ice if you know more about different cultures.British: Beautiful day, isn’t it?The weather in Britain is changeable. So, it is one of the topics the British care most about. And there’s a simple rule: Say “Yes” whether you agree with the person’s idea on the weather or not. That’s because the British start a conversation using the weather so that they can continue their talk.French: Where did you go on holiday?To talk with a French person, the safest way is to ask about his or her last holiday. French students enjoy a 10-to-15-day holiday every two months. French employees(雇员) get more than one and a half months of holidays every year.American: So, where are you from?The US is so big and people move so often that place is always a source(来源) of talk. You can try to find a connection with the place they’re from. For example, if someone is from Los Angeles, you could say, “Oh, I have a friend who studied there.”1. The writer’s parents tell him not to talk to strangers because ______.A. it was dangerousB. the writer didn’t like to talk with strangersC. it was part of the lifeD. the writer’s parents were afraid to talk with strangers2. The underlined phrase “break the ice” probably means ______.A. put the ice into piecesB. offer a chance to talkC. play an interesting gameD. give others some help3. The passage is mainly about how to ______.A. get more chances to talkB. know more about different culturesC. get along with a strangerD. start a conversation with a stranger【答案】1-3 ABDBSydney Fredette is very busy. Not only is she a high school student, but she has also set up her own organization, Beary Merry Christmas. She volunteers(志愿) to offer services to poor children and families in Orange Country in California, US.To remember her best friend who died of cancer nearly 10 years ago, Fredette decided to offer services to those in Orange Country who are less lucky than she is.She began with the easy idea of collecting donated(捐赠) Build-A-Bears, the popular toy animal that is made by children themselves in the stores’ workshops. Fredette then gave them as presents to the homeless children in California during the holiday season.With donations at more than 100 bears a year, Fredette and volunteers hold activities every year, where volunteers not only give out the bears, but also clothing, meals, and other things.Not wanting to limit(限制) the giving to just the holiday months, Fredette held other activities for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and Halloween, offering the chance to her volunteer team to make a difference through the year.“I love making friends with the people I offer services to,” Fredette said. “It’s so cool to hear their stories and see how happy they are.”Fredette even built a public food bank and offered a self-development class to students in her school.She plans to stay local and continue to help out in her hometown.1. What can we learn about Beary Merry Christmas?A. It holds one activity a year.B. It buys bears from the stores.C. It gives out bears and other things.D. It offers services around America.2. We can infer(推理) from the passage that Fredette ________.A. likes telling people storiesB. is pleased with what she has doneC. dreams of being a teacherD. plans to leave California for study3. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Offering a food bankB. Improving local schoolsC. Giving back to societyD. Getting on well with others【答案】1-3 CBCCWould you like to have a brother or a sister? Years ago this might have sounded impossible to many. But since several years ago, with the end of China’s “one-child policy(政策)”, this could actually happen now. All Chinese couples are allowed to have two children. It means that many Chinese children may have siblings(兄弟姐妹) in the future.What would it be like growing up with a brother or a sister? Having a sibling can stop children from bad feelings, according to Laura Padilla-Walker, a teacher from Brigham Young University, US. “Siblings give children something that parents can’t,” she said. You may not feel lonely at home any more because there is someone to play with you. You can also share secrets with him or her.“But children with siblings also have to learn to control(控制) their feelings,” said Padilla-Walker. You need to share things with them, such as attention from parents, toys, the bathroom and the TV. There are also unpleasant situations such as competition, name-calling and even hair-pulling.Even the birth order of siblings could matter too. US psychologist Kevin Leman said that birth order decides the way parents treat their children, thus causing different personalities between siblings.Leman explained that parents are usually more strict with their first child. So firstborns may be perfect because parents set high goals(目标) for them. They usually act well and hope to succeed. When the couple has a second child, they have fewer rules. So late-born children are usually more creative. They also love attention. It is said that many of them also have a good sense of humor.1. The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refers to(指) ______.A. one-child policyB. having a brother or a sisterC. the end of “one-child policy”D. being allowed to have two children2. In Paragraph 2, the writer mainly tells us ______.A. the advantages of having a siblingB. how to look after a siblingC. how to get on well with a siblingD. the secrets of having a sibling3. According to Kevin Leman, ______.A. late-born children are usually successful at schoolB. having a sibling can stop children from bad feelingsC. parents are usually more strict with their first-born childD. children with siblings have to learn to control their feelings 4. Which of the following best shows the structure(结构) of the passage?A. B. C.D.【答案】1-4 BACD三、词汇运用（本题有15小题,每小题1分,共计15分）A. 用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空。
