2024-2025学年（上）那曲八年级质量检测英语

1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night? If so, here is a piece of advice for you: Listen to some soft music.

Scientists have found that soft music can help to improve our sleep. This works for sleepers of all ages and even for those with sleeping problems. Soft music can help us fall asleep faster, wake up less during the night and feel more rested in the morning. You may not notice the effects overnight, though. 1. It could take at least three weeks to see improvements.

2.为什么轻音乐能助于我们睡得更好？ The reasons aren’t clear yet. It may have something to do with the relaxing effect of a good song. Music can have real physical effects, too. Soft music can lower our heart rate and slow down our breathing. 3.这对我们入睡有好处。

Scientists say that for most people, music that has 70 beats(节拍) per minute works best. Classical, jazz and folk music are usually more effective than other musical styles. Familiar songs work well, too. You may need to experiment to make your own playlists. If you are not sure how many beats a song has in a minute, you may find it out on www.songbpm.com. And remember to get the volume(音量) right. Make sure the final piece is the one that slowly fades out(减弱), 4. if you don’t want to be woken up by the sudden silence.

It’s very important to get enough high-quality sleep. 5. Before you go to bed tonight, play some soft music. Then, just prepare to be rocked off to dreamland!

24、Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to get rid of it. But the designers of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problem — how to collect body heat, and the heat given off by electrical equipment such as electric lights and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no fuel (燃料) is needed to make the university’s six buildings warm and comfortable.

Some parts of most modern buildings, theatres and office as well as classrooms — are heated by people and lights far more than necessary, and sometimes they must be air-conditioned (用空调的) even in winter. The skill of saving heat and sharing it out again in a different way is called “heat recovery”. Few modern buildings recover heat, but the university’s system is the first to recover heat from some buildings and reuse it in others.

Along the way, Pittsburgh University has learned a great deal about some of its heat producer. The harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off. Boy students send out more heat than girl students. And the larger a student is, the more heat he produced. It sounds rather reasonable to draw the following conclusion (总结) that the hottest hope for the Pittsburgh University would be a hardworking, overweight boy student who is very clever in the university.

【1】According to paragraph 1, the Pittsburgh University collect heat given off by ________ to make the university’s six buildings warm and comfortable.

A．human bodies

B．human bodies and electrical equipment

【2】The skill of heat recovering is used to ________.

A．find out the source of heat

B．produce a social form of air conditioning

C．provide heat for the hot water system

D．collect and reuse heat

【3】Which of the following persons would produce the least heat?

A．A fat boy students who is clever and studies hard.

B．A thin girl student who is not clever and does not study hard.

C．A thin boy student who is clever and studies hard.

D．A fat girl student who is both clever and hardworking.

【4】In the last sentence, the “hottest hope” refers to ________.

A．the person who produces the most heat

B．the person who suffers most from heat

C．the person who takes in the most heat

D．the person who wants the most heat

【5】The best title for this passage is ________.

A．Modern Building’s Heat System

B．A New Heat Recovery System in the Pittsburgh University

C．Recovery of Boy’s Heat in the Pittsburgh University

D．The Best Way to Save Fuel or Electricity

25、Weather has a strong effect（影响） on people．It influences（影响） health，intelligence（智力），and feelings．

In August，it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States．People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problem during this month．In the Northeast and the Middle West，it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times．People in these states will have heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March．

The weather can also influence intelligence．For example，in a 1983study by scientists，the IQ scores （智商分数）of some college students were very high during a storm，but after the storm，their scores were low．Storms can increase intelligence．Very hot weather，on the other hand，can lower it．Students in many schools of the United States often do badly on exams in the hot months of the year（July and August）．

Weather also has a strong effect on people's feeling．Winter may be a bad time for thin people．They usually feel cold during these months．They might feel depressed（沮丧的） during cold weather．In hot summer weather，on the other hand，fat people may feel unhappy．At about 65F，people become stronger．

Low air pressure（气压） makes people feel free，but it also increases forgetfulness．People leave more bags and umbrellas on buses and stores on low pressure days．There is a"perfect weather"for work and health．People feel best at a temperature of about 64F with 65percent humidity（湿度）．

26、The English Language Assistants program is very famous in the UK. 【1】 I took part in the program last year and spent six months in a small town called Privas in France.

The small town lies in the southeast of France. It is a beautiful place. 【2】 Lots of chestnuts (栗子) are produced there every year. There is even a festival about chestnuts.

The quiet environment and comfortable lifestyle made me fall in love with Privas. The school where I taught was a great place to learn about French culture. 【3】 People greet each other by kissing on the cheek. The number of kisses depends on where you are in France. On my first night in Privas, I stayed with a host family. They told me that in most places in France, people give two. 【4】 And in Privas, the custom is to give three. This made me sometimes wonder which cheek to kiss first. Since I had long hair, when a person was kissing me, some of my hair would end up in his or her mouth. That was really funny and awkward (令人尴尬的). But people there were pleased that I was getting used to the local culture.
