2024-2025学年（下）胡杨河八年级质量检测英语

1、阅读下面的短文，将画线部分译成英文或中文。

You are in your last year of junior high school.（1）Have you thought about what it will be like in high school? Are you ready for a fresh start in a new environment? Some high school graduates from the United States share their tips:

Organize and plan your studies

“The biggest thing is to stay organized,” says Philip Tubiolo, a graduate from Bayport High School.（2）He says you can use either paper or online tools to help with your studies. "I would transfer (转换) paper notes online and make study guides. Everything was in one spot (场所) for finals and midterms."

Find your interests

“I knew I was more of a science kid,” says Bayport’s Tubiolo. “I took AP Biology in 10th grade and loved it.”（3）AP classes are college-level classes that high school students can take.He also joined his school’s Science Olympiad team.（4）在一次国际数学比赛中，他赢得了一等奖。He even decided on a college major, although most students don’t need to make this choice so early.

Find healthy ways to relieve stress and have fun

“It’s not just study, study, study,” says Roslyn High School student Todd Warshawsky. "I was a track (田径) runner. That was a stress reliever from study." Sachem North High School graduate Erin Maryzek agrees. “（5）我们都应该学会在学校生活中找到一些有趣的事情,” says the Northeastern University freshman.

24、   Hassan’s face brightened. “Good,” he said. He lifted our kite, red with yellow. He licked his finger and held it up, tested the wind, then ran in its direction. The spool (线轴) rolled in my hands until Hassan stopped, about fifty feet away. He held the kite high over his head, like an Olympic athlete showing his gold medal. I jerked the string twice, our usual signal, and Hassan threw the kite highly into sky.

I took a deep breath, and pulled on the string. Within a minute, my kite was rocketing to the sky. It made a sound like a bird flapping its wings. Hassan clapped his hands, and ran back to me. I handed him the spool, holding on to the string, and he spun it quickly to roll the loose string back on.

At least two dozen kites already hung in the sky, like paper sharks swimming in the sea. Within an hour, the number doubled. A cold breeze went through my hair. The wind was perfect for kite flying, blowing just hard enough to give some lift, make the sweeps easier. Next to me, Hassan held the spool, his hands already bloodied by the string.

Soon, the cutting started and the first of the defeated kites whirled (回旋) out of control. They fell from the sky like shooting stars, showering the neighborhoods below with prizes for the kite runners. I could hear the runners now, shouting as they ran the streets. Someone shouted reports of a fight breaking out two streets down.

I kept stealing glances at Baba sitting with his friend, wondering what he was thinking. Was he cheering for me? Or did a part of him enjoy watching me fail? That was the thing about kite flying: Your mind flew with the kite.

They were coming down all over the place now. The kites and I was still flying. My eyes kept wandering over to Baba. Was he surprised I had lasted as long as I had? You don’t keep your eyes to the sky, you won’t last much longer. I snapped my gaze back to the sky. A red kite was closing in on me—I’d caught it just in time. I tangled (纠缠) a bit with it, ended up besting him when he tried to cut me from below.

【1】Which of the following shows the right order of flying a kite?

① tested the wind   ② held the kite high over head   ③ ran in the direction of wind

④ held up the kite    ⑤ stopped far away    ⑥ threw the kite into sky

A. ④①③⑤②⑥ B. ④①③②⑤⑥ C. ④①②③⑤⑥ D. ④②①③⑤⑥

【2】According to the passage, which of the following is the disadvantage of flying kites?

A. A cold breeze may get hair untidy. B. Fingers may hurt.

C. A fight may break out. D. Mind may fly with the kite.

【3】Why did “I” keep looking at Baba when I was flying a kite?

A. I wanted to know what he was talking to his friend.

B. I wanted to get his advice and get my kite last to the end.

C. I was not confident and I was looking forward to his attention.

D. I was surprised that he had lasted so long watching my kite flying.

25、阅读下面四篇材料，然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

There was a young man named Bill in England. Before leaving school， he began to look for a job as a clerk. Few companies needed new clerks due to the financial crisis(金融危机)at that time. It became harder and harder to find a job. Luckily， a chance camp up to him. A company wanted to employ one person. He and the other twenty people joined in the first interview. After that， three persons were allowed to enter the final test which would decide one person to be employed in the end. Bill was lucky to be among them.

On the day of the second interview， Bill and the others arrived at the company on time. To their surprise， the interview was very easy. The interviewer only had a free talk with them， and then asked them to go back home waiting for the result. The next morning， Bill received a letter from the company which said he wasn't accepted. Certainly， he felt disappointed. On the evening of that day， Bill surprisingly received another letter， which said he was employed. But why was he accepted? As a matter of fact， the first letter sent to Bill was also part of the test. Every one of them got a letter which had the same meaning that morning. Only Bill replied with “Thank you” while the others said nothing.

26、   In the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.

My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.

Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.

You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo— a joyous zoo. Not surprising. I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.

The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.

In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree! I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember little steps add up to big dreams.

A. She wanted to study by herself.

B. She fell in love and got married.

C. She suffered from a serious illness

D. She decided to look after her grandma.

【4】What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?

A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Little by little, one goes far.

C. Every coin has two sides. D. Well begun, half done.

【5】Which of the following can best describe the author?

A. Caring and determined. B. Honest and responsible.

C. Ambitious and sensitive. D. Innocent and single-minded.

28、How do students spend their free time after finishing their homework? Watch TV, play computer games, or go outside to relax? Here’s a good e【1】.
