2025-2026学年（上）淮北八年级质量检测英语

1、阅读下面短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

There was a time when farmers were hard-working but only got a little. As an old poem（诗）goes, 1. “Who knows the meal in the dish, each rice is full of hard work.” At this time, Father of Hybrid Rice（杂交水稻）, Yuan Longping, grew up.

After seeing many people die of hunger in the 1960s, Yuan started to challenge hybrid rice. He spent four years looking for a new kind of rice. In 1964, he found it! 2. 在1973年，他成功种植了世界上第一批杂交水稻。That’s why he is called “Father of Hybrid Rice”. But Chinese would like to call him Grandpa Yuan to show our love for him. Hybrid rice ended hunger for millions of people not only in China, but around the world. It is also grown in over 40 countries, including India, the US and Brazil. 3. 它已经成为现代中国最重要的发明之一。In fact, Grandpa Yuan is a normal person like you and me. For example, he liked to study English, geography and chemistry, but he wasn’t a fan of math. His hobbies included volleyball, swimming and violin. Yuan also loved to ride a motorcycle. 4. When he was in the face of difficulties, it was relaxing for him to ride it.

Grandpa Yuan once said he had two dreams. One was to enjoy the shade under rice crops and these crops were taller than men. The other was that people could grow hybrid rice all over the world. To our sadness, Grandpa Yuan passed away on May 22nd, at the age of 91. 5. But we Chinese people will remember him forever and try our best to make his dreams come true.

21、 I had mixed feelings today， nervous， worried， happy， excited… My heart went down when Miss Chan，  our head teacher， said that Matthew and Beth， two students from England， would spend three months with us!

Today is the most unforgettable first day I have had! Matthew is fantastic ! His English is clearer and easier to listen to than I thought. The other English student， Beth， is the most helpful girl I’ve ever met. There were lots of things to do on the first day. Beth offered to help Miss Chan put up all the notices. Of course， some of the credit (功劳) should also go to ME because I translated some of the notices for her. Miss Chan praised us!

We finished all the preparations 10 minutes earlier than expected， then Beth and I talked for a while， Matthew sang several English so ngs and did some stand-up comedy (单人喜剧表演) at the party. We all praised him. When the bell rang to end the first school day， none of us wanted to leave.

22、

Most people enjoy reading a good book after a long day or over the weekends. However, do you ever notice how you start feeling sleepy three pages into a book no matter how exciting it is? If the thing happens to you, you are not alone. So what is it about reading that can make us feel sleepy?

When you are reading, both your eyes and brain (脑) are working together. Your eyes follow the words across the page. Your brain interprets (解释) the letters and converts (转换) them into meaningful words, sentences, and paragraphs. As your brain works hard and your eyes feel tired, it’s only natural that they would need rest, leading to eyes slowly closing and sleep taking over. And reading line after line of anything can make your eyes want to have a rest.

The environment could be a big reason. People often create (创建) comfortable and quiet environment while they read. Scientists say these are the very same conditions that are perfect for sleep. Reading is also a great way to get away from all your troubling thoughts (想法) . Reading is enjoyable and relaxing, and it can help to put the mind and body in a calm situation. It can cause you to feel sleepy.

If you really need to finish a book, or you just want to read longer without feeling sleepy, here are some tips for you. First, find a comfortable place to read, but not too comfortable. Sit up in a comfortable chair instead of lying down on your back, so you don’t want to feel sleepy. Also make sure that the temperature isn’t too hot. Reading in an environment that’s too warm can make you sleepy. If you have trouble staying awake and you really need to finish that book before going to bed, try waking yourself up before you start reading. Do some light exercise, drink a cup of coffee, or take a cool shower. If you’re more active when you start reading, you’re more likely to make it to the end of that book!

【1】What does Paragraph 2 and 3 mainly talk about?

A．Tips for reading books without feeling sleepy.

B．Reasons for feeling sleepy while reading books.

C．Perfect conditions for sleep while reading books.

D．Importance of environment while reading books.

【2】The underlined word “It” refer to (指) ________.

A．reading books

B．having a rest

C．being in a calm situation

D．creating a quiet environment

【3】What will help readers read longer without feeling sleepy?

A．Doing some light exercise.

B．Reading books by themselves.

C．Reading in a very warm place.

D．Lying down in a comfortable chair.

23、

“Fine, I’ll just do it all myself!” I thought when I stamped (跺脚) away.

My friends and I were trying to make the best cardboard (纸板) town to play in. We were turning cardboard boxes into stores and playgrounds and all kinds of fun things! We weren’t working together well, though. I could hear them talking when I was walking away.

“Wow, I didn’t think Johnny would get so angry,” Katie said. “We are just trying another way. ”

“This should be fun,” said Max. “Johnny can’t do it all by himself. Maybe if we give him some space, he’ll want us to help again. ”

Yeah, right. Because it was my idea, I would just do it without them. The only problem was that I wanted to finish it before Thanksgiving. I wanted to show it to all of my family when they came over.

Thanksgiving was two weeks away. I thought that the job was too big. I still needed to make the buildings with boxes, put them around the town, and decorate (装饰) them. I couldn’t finish everything by myself. I guess that’s why people work together. When we each had a job, this was fun and went a lot faster. Maybe I should say sorry to Katie and Max. They were just trying to help and have fun with me.

The next day at school, I said sorry to Katie and Max.

“I don’t know why I got so angry. Building a town should be fun. Will you come back to my house today to finish our town?” I asked.

“Sure, Johnny,” they said.

We all took on a role and finished the town quickly. It was great!
