2024-2025学年（上）固原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者中文。

Robot scientists say that one-year-old human babies have better movement (动作) skills than robots do. Let’s take a look at some tasks that are easy for kids. 1.但是他们对机器人来说不容易。

Picking things up is not easy. 2.If we drop our pencil on the floor, our brains work hard. First, we must find the pencil and look at its distance (距离). Then we move our hands to it. 3.A robot cannot always move its “hand” to the right place. Calculating the distance is not easy. Then, when we touch the pencil, it might roll (滚动) a little bit. Robots cannot easily understand this either. So, if you drop a pencil on the floor, a robot will probably roll it around the room.

If someone drops you in a new building, you might feel a little lost. 4.But you can look around, find a door and get out quickly. You will not get stuck (困住的) in a corner. But a robot will look everywhere for a door, even on floors. This is because it’s hard for them to understand spaces, such as walls. Scientists need to train them with lots of data to learn this.

“Common sense (常识)” is what we don’t need to think or talk about. Because of it, we do not look for doors on the ceiling. We feel whether it has coffee inside, and whether it is hot. A robot may turn the cup upside down. 5.它可能会握住杯子烫的部分。 Scientists tried to teach robots common-sense rules. Maybe they just need more time to learn.

25、People are trying to build “green buildings” that are friendly to the environment. They might not seem any different from common buildings. But let’s take a closer look.

Stay cool and warm. It takes a lot of energy to light rooms. It also takes energy to heat and cool buildings. So green buildings are designed to do all these things with much less energy. An energy-smart building starts with thick walls. Special insulation(隔热材料)inside keeps heat inside in winter and keeps heat outside in summer. This saves energy for heating and cooling. Some green buildings don’t need any radiators(散热器)or air conditioning at all!

Save the trees. What a building is made from can also help the planet. To save forests, some green buildings have bamboo floors instead of wood. Bamboo looks like wood, but it’s actually a grass. It grows back 20 times faster than a tree. Another way to build green is to use recycled materials. That saves the cost and reduces pollution of producing something new.

Make better home. City planners like green buildings because they save money and they are healthier for the people who work and live inside. But you don’t need to build a whole new building. Simple changes like shading windows and planting trees can make any home greener—and a better Earth home for us all.

As more people become concerned(担忧的)about climate change, more buildings are going green. Experts are finding new ways to build green buildings. We also need to change our mind. Let’s take action now!

【1】How does an energy-smart building save energy for heating and cooling?

A．It uses air conditioners.

B．It uses smart radiators.

C．It has special thick walls.

D．It has fewer room lights.

【2】Bamboo is used instead of wood in green buildings because ________

A．it is a recycled material

B．it grows back much faster

C．it can keep the room warm

D．it can save a lot of money

【3】In Paragraph 4, the writer advises us to ________

A．build a whole new green building

B．pay attention to climate change

C．make small changes to our home

D．use only gas to cook our meals

【4】How is the text organized?

(①=Paragraph   1, ②=Paragraph   2, …)

A．

B．

C．

D．

26、"An Englishman，even if he is alone，forms an orderly queue of one，" wrote a famous British author，George Mikes．While this sounds funny，it's a popular English stereotype（刻板印象）．From the supermarket to the subway，queues are a common sight on the streets of Britain．

Here in China，queues are normal，too．It is a part of everyday life．People queue most of the time，from buying tickets in the cinema to waiting for seats at a restaurant．But in certain situations，you'll find yourself in the middle of a rushing crowd，such as getting onto the subway．Even away from the busy subway platform，queues are different．

One day I was standing in line at the supermarket．I left a small space in front of me．Within seconds，a girl walked by and took her place in that small space．I was surprised at first，but later I found these experiences very interesting．It is with these small，everyday differences that I get to live and learn in a new culture．

Back in Britain，the person spends about six months of their life waiting in a queue，according to the auction site MadBid．To pass the time，maybe they tell themselves the famous proverb．．Good things come to those who wait．

【1】From the passage，we know that the English are famous for

A．being rude and loud

A．From annoyed to calm．

B．From calm to angry．

C．From surprised to interested．

D．From shocked to angry．

【3】The passage is mainly about ____．

B．praising the English for good manners

C．calling on people in China to queue more

D．explaining why people rush in some situations

【4】Where would you most probably read this passage?

A．Novel． B．Poster．

C．Newspaper．   D．Science magazine．

27、Dig deep into culture

Thousands of years ago, Chinese words appeared on animal bones and bamboo before they were written on paper. Now ancient Chinese texts have a “new container (容器)” in the modern age.

Recently, a research team from Nanjing Agricultural University together with Gulian, a leading ancient Chinese text publisher, introduced a large language model called Xunzi.

“Traditional Chinese characters and the absence of punctuation marks (标点符号) are always making reading traditional texts hard,” said Wang Dongbo who led the research, explaining why they made the large language model.

To create this model, Wang and his partners did a lot of research on Chinese classics like Siku Quanshu or the Complete Library in Four Sections. “We had to work on two billion Chinese characters and our work gave us a good start,” said Wang.

However, it is not an easy job. Wang said they need to learn these classics first and then mark the characters into different types, like adjectives and nouns, which are put into the model.

But their effort seems to be paying off. Now, the model can help users understand and analyze ancient Chinese texts. For example, when users type “shangu” into the chat box, they may not only get the information that “shangu” means “valley” but also learn that it could be a person’s courtesy name (字) in ancient Chinese texts.

“The model can help us learn more information hidden in our cultural legacy (文化遗产) and find unnoticed connections,” said Wang.

Wang Dongbo and his team not only let Chinese people know ancient Chinese texts but also share them with the world. They share the large language model on websites like Github, allowing users to download and use it for free.

“Our team has been sharing the philosophy of making the data (数据) and model with the world so that more people will learn about traditional Chinese culture,” said Wang.

【1】Wang Dongbo and his team made the large language model to ________.

A．figure out the ancient punctuation marks

B．collect all traditional Chinese characters

C．make reading traditional texts easier

D．do research on Chinese classics

【2】Creating this large language model is ________.

A．difficult

B．meaningless

C．simple

D．quick

【3】The example in Paragraph 6 shows ________.

A．what the model can do

B．why the model was created

C．what people think about the model

D．what disadvantages the model has

【4】According to Wang, the new model can help us ________.

A．master a skill of making the data

B．learn ancient people’s lives in the right way

C．learn the ideas of Xunzi better

D．spread Chinese traditional culture

28、C. Fill in the blanks with proper words （在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给）

A rare experience

Imagine the situation. You’re walking down the crowded high street and s【1】  a complete stranger stops you and says, “Hi! You were on the beach in the south of Spain six years ago. How are you doing?” This stranger isn’t necessarily m 【2】 . He or she might be a “super - recogniser”. These are people who have the unusual ability to recognise people they have seen only once -- a long time ago, maybe in a crowed.

Whatever the differences in looks

It doesn’t matter what the person looks like now. People change, get different hair styles, dye their hair or go grey. Wrinkles, new glasses and makeups give them new a【3】 , but the “super - recognisers” can still recognise them.

An inborn skill

Although scientists have known for a long time that about 2% of people suffer from face - blindness, which means that they have huge problems recognising faces, they are only new realising that some people are the exact o 【4】 .Tests have shown that a “super - recogniser” can identify people that they only saw for a brief moment --  and this is not an ability that we can d【5】  , it’s something we are born with.

A great h  【6】

The police are starting to use “super - recognisers” to spot criminal faces in videos of crowds. They look for people with a specific build and facial features like beards and moustaches but they can even recognise quite o【7】people, with no noticeable features at all. As well as surprising our holidaymaker in Spain six years later, this ability can be used for a very practical purpose indeed.
