2025-2026学年（上）大兴安岭地区八年级质量检测英语

1、   Hundreds of years ago, life was harder than it is today. People didn’t have modern machines. There was no modern medicine, either.

Life today has brought new problems. 1.最严重的问题之一就是污染。Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. 2 .Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution to all living things in the world.

Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. 3. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt over a city. We call this kind of “quilt” smog(雾霾).

Many counties are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must clean their water before it is thrown away. And they mustn’t let dirty smoke go into the air.

4.我们需要做许多其他的事情。We can put waste things in the dustbin and do

not throw them on the ground. 5.We can go to work by bus or by bike instead of driving a car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution.

Rules are not enough. Every person must do something to help fight pollution.

26、   The sudden death of Sir Charles Baskerville made everybody sad as he was a nice and respected man and had made many friends in Dartmoor during the two years he was at Baskerville Hall.

Mr Barrymore, the butler(男管家), said that Sir Charles had been sad and stressed these days.  He told Barrymore that he was planning to return to London the next day. Then, he went for his usual evening walk. He did not return, and at midnight, Barrymore went to look for him. He followed Sir Charles’s footprints along the path until he found his master’s body lying near the end of it.

A man called Murphy was on the moor at the time and said that he heard shouting, but he was drunk at the time and no one would believe what he said.

The report said that Sir Charles had a weak heart and died of a heart attack. And this made it clear that the stories of a huge hound should not be believed.

“Do you know anything more than what is in the newspapers?” said Holmes when Dr. Mortimer had finished.

“Yes indeed. Sir Charles would never go out onto the moor at night because he was in fear of being attacked. He asked me several times whether I had heard the hound howling at night, but I never had. I was there within an hour when he died. I went over to see his body. He lay face down on the ground with his arms out and his fingers dug into the ground. At the inquest, Barrymore said that he saw nothing else, but I did. I saw footprints, Mr Holmes.”

“Footprints?” said Holmes, leaning forward. “A man’s or a woman’s?”

Mortimer looked at us for a moment before replying. “Mr.Holmes, they were the footprints of a huge hound!”

27、“Hi! How are you?” The woman smiled as she took the seat next to me on the airplane, She had to lower herself slowly, trying hard to push her fat body into the seat, filling all available space.

I didn’t reply and moved a little towards the window. She repeated her greeting in a friendly voice.

“Hi!” I replied.

“My name is Laura. I'm from Britain. How about you?” she talked excitedly. “Malaysia.” I said coldly.

Laura started a conversation with me, taking no notice of my unfriendly reactions. Her voice was warm and caring. She was thoughtful. When we were served drinks and meals she made sure that I had room to move in my seat. “I don't want to make you uncomfortable with my elephant size!” she said with great sincerity(真诚).

To my surprise, the face that I had disliked hours before slowly showed a nice smile -- lively and calm at the same time. I couldn’t help but let down my guard.

Laura was interesting. During our conversation, Laura managed to make every person on the plane who served us walk away laughing at her jokes.

I asked Laura, “Have you ever thought about losing some weight? You aren't worried about the diseases that come with being overweight?” “Not at all, because I eat healthily and walk regularly,” she said. “This may not be scientific, but I believe in my heart that the people who get diseases are the ones who worry all the time. I’m this size because I was born to be big! There is more to life than worrying about weight all day long.”

She drank her wine. “Besides, God gives me so much happiness that I need a bigger body to hold all of it! If I lose weight, I'll lose my happiness.”

Surprised by her unusual reasoning, I smiled. 1 suddenly realized that Laura was the most beautiful woman I had ever met in my life.
