2024-2025学年（下）南宁八年级质量检测英语

1、   Some westerners think the ways of education in many Chinese families are hard to understand. Here are some examples.

In China, many children are taken care of by their grandparents because their parents are busy. 1.但是父母应该经常和孩子待在一起并与他们交谈。

2. Parents don't pay attention to children's rights. Parents should knock at the door before they go into the room of their children. They shouldn't look through their children's things before they agree. Children who are not respected (尊重) also do not know how to respect others' rights (权利).

3. Parents often compare their children with others. Most Chinese parents want their children to be successful, because it can save the parents' face. Parents often say, "Your best friend studies so hard. He has already got good grades and lots of big prizes. "This is the worst thing. It will only hurt their children's feelings.

4. Many children have to do what their parents expect, though they do not like it. For example, parents ask their children to learn to play the piano or go to study in foreign countries. Children should decide these themselves.

5.他们学习越努力，就会有更好的成绩。Many parents think school performance is everything. In fact, the integrated (综合的) ability is so important that it will influence children all their lives.

However, children should try to understand their parents. Children don't have to be perfect, and parents don't have to be perfect, either. It's important to understand and respect each other.

21、Dear Mum and Dad，

I promised to write，so...

We're staying with Lingling's uncle in Hunan Province, and I'm having a wonderful time here in Zhangjiajie. It's a magic land of mountains, forests and rivers. It's very large, about 480 square kilometres. It's famous for the strange shape of its tall rocks. Some of them look like humans while others look like wild animals.

Last night we camped by a small lake. During the night, we heard a noise! It woke everybody up. We thought somebody was moving about. Lingling's uncle said it was an animal. We came out without making any noise, and found it was just a hungry monkey looking for food.

This morning, we climbed Mount Tianzi! From the top we hoped to see the lakes and forests. But it was a pity that it was cloudy. We could only see the mountain tops above the clouds. Then we walked down the path along a river, past trees and other plants and back to the camp. I pulled a leaf off a plant, but Lingling's uncle said that it was wrong to pull leaves off plants and that we should protect everything here. I was very sorry.

Tomorrow we're going to Dongting Lake, the second-largest lake in China.

We'll be back home next week! Wish you were here!

Love，

Betty

22、   If we think of Earth’s natural resources (自然资源) as a bank account (账户), then we have already used up most of the “money” that Earth saved. Have you ever heard of Earth Overshoot Day (EOD, 地球生态超载日)? The Global Footprint Network (全球足迹网络), a nonprofit (非营利的) organization based in the United States, Belgium and Switzerland, calculates (计算) this day. It keeps records of how many new resources the earth can create in one year and how much water, land, fish and forest human beings use, as well as how much CO2 we’re emitting (排放) in one year.

It has been marking EOD since 1971. At first, it was somewhere between September and October. In 2018, EOD was marked on August 1st, and in 2019 it was on July 29th. Each year, the human population grows and more resources are used. That’s why EOD has moved forward by more than two months over the last 20 years.

Human beings are now using natural resources 1.75 times faster than they can be renewed (再生). This has affected the environment in a bad way. For instance, wildfires are becoming more frequent (频繁的). Cities around the world are running out of water. Up to 1,000,000 species (物种) could die out because of human activities. However, humans are taking some small steps to deal with the problem. Countries like China and India are trying their best to green the planet. But there’s still a very long way to go.

【1】Which one is true about Earth Overshoot Day?

A.It falls on July 29 every year. B.It is chosen by the United Nations.

C.It has been marked since 1971. D.It reminds people not to shoot animals.

【2】What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?

A.The possibility that more wildfires may happen.

B.The speed at which the human population grows.

C.The speed at which humans use natural resources.

D.The possibility that more species may die out.

【3】What do we know from the story?

A.Our planet can’t create new resources.

B.Wildfires have destroyed all our natural resources.

C.All Asian countries have found ways to use fewer natural resources.

D.More work needs to be done to solve resource—related problems.

23、   A man and his wife were out on a walk one night. They saw a blind man walking on the other side of the street with his guide dog.

They continued walking for a few minutes longer. Then, they heard the man shout loudly. The dog had steered (引导) him right into a parked car. He hit it so hard that he injured one of his feet.

They thought the man would be very angry. But to their surprise, they saw the man reach into his pocket and took out a treat for the dog.

“Isn’t that strange?” the wife said. “He gave the dog a treat even though he got hurt.”

The husband was quite curious (好奇的). He walked over to the blind man and asked, “Why are you giving him a treat?”

25、   Rivers are one of our most important natural resources(资源). Many of the world’s great cities are located on rivers, and almost every country has at l______ one river running through it that plays an important part in the lives of its people.
