2024-2025学年（上）绵阳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中文。

We will finally grow up one day, leaving our parents and facing the challenges in life. Parents may not be able to solve every problem for us. ①Instead, we should have enough life skills so that we can deal with the problems in our life.

This is what our country tries to do now: Helping more students gain working spirit. To stress (强调) the importance of hard-working spirit education (劳动教育) among students of different ages, the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council released a guideline (指南) recently. The guideline calls for students to respect work. ②学生们应该通过劳动学会必要的生活技能。The government keeps stressing the importance of hard-working spirit education. But this has been overlooked in recent years. Many teens do not value the importance of working hard and are not interested in doing so.

③The guideline says that schools and families play an important role in teaching students about the value of working hard. Primary and middle schools should provide students with hard-working spirit classes every week, according to the guideline. Schools can also hold activities to give students real-world work experience. ④例如，学校可以教同学们怎样植树。

As children’s first teachers, parents should also encourage children to do chores at home. Students should master one or two life skills every year. These skills can include cooking, washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms. ⑤If you don’t have these skills, your education will be incomplete.

25、When I was growing up, I had an old neighbour named Doctor Gibbs. He didn’t look like any other doctor I’d ever known. He never shouted to us for playing in his yard, and was always very kind.

When Doctor Gibbs wasn’t saving lives, he was planting trees. He had interesting opinions about planting trees. He hardly watered his new trees, which was quite different from others. Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants overprotected them because it made them grow weaker. He said, “Without enough water, they will have to grow deeper roots in order to search for water themselves. Having deeper roots helps them be stronger and live longer.” Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I’d watched him plant about 25 years ago. They were all tall and strong.

I planted a couple of trees myself a few years ago. Two years of caring for these trees meant they grew up weak. Hard environment seemed to benefit Doctor Gibbs’ trees in ways comfort never could.

When my son was a little baby, my wife and I often wished that his life would be easy. But now I’ve been thinking that it’s time to change our thought. I know he is going to meet with difficulties. There’s always a cold wind blowing somewhere. What we need to do is expecting him to have deep roots, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, he won’t be beaten.

【1】Why did Doctor Gibbs hardly water his new trees?

A．He was careless and didn’t like taking care of trees.

B．He was too busy in saving lives to water them often.

C．He believed overprotecting them made them weaker.

D．He thought it was enough to give the best wishes to trees.

【2】What were the trees planted by Dr Gibbs like after 25 years?

A．Tall and strong.

B．Short and weak.

C．Short but strong.

D．Tall but weak.

【3】Which is probably the author’s wish for his son now?

A．Meet people like Dr Gibbs in the future.

B．Be lucky and experience less difficulties.

C．Stay away from dangerous things in his life.

D．Be able to stand the rains and winds in his life.

27、

Apple has entered the textbook market. The tech giant(科技巨人) introduced iBooks textbooks many weeks ago. They are digital books in many subjects taking in science, maths, history and geography. Apple says it offers a “new textbook experience” and suggests its interactive (互动的) iBooks textbooks are “the next chapter(篇章) in learning”.

It sounds like good news for pupils and students. Think of it. No more carrying heavy backpacks full of textbooks. Every textbook you need can be stored on your iPad.

No more having to buy expensive textbooks which you will only use for a year or two and then sell or give away. Instead of boring old textbooks which are quickly out of date you can have an interactive learning experience. You can play videos, draw 3D pictures when you do some math problems, listen to music, make notes and mark passages electronically. You can also share studying materials on social networking sites with your friends.

Of course there’s a catch. You need to own an iPad and as you know, it is not cheap. You also need to buy digital textbooks, mostly priced each at $14.99 (94.74 yuan) or more. And the rest, will Apple start a completely new way of learning? As they say, is history. That remains to be seen.

【1】Where can we find this kind of passage?

A.In a music magazine B.In a story book C.In a newspaper D.In a diary

【2】If we own iBooks, which of these statements is Not True?

A.We don’t have to carry heavy backpacks. B.We can store textbooks on iPad.

C.We still need to buy many expensive textbooks which we will only use for a year or two. D.We can have an interactive learning experience.

【3】What can you do by using iBooks except_________.

A.listening to the songs B.reading and make notes

C.solving maths problems D.going shopping

【4】What does the underlined sentence “Of course there’s a catch” mean in Paragraph 3 ?

C.Every coin has two sides D.Gold will not buy anything

【5】Which is the best title for this passage?

28、   Year 2020 is unusual because COVID-19 (新冠病毒）has brought and will continue bringing a lot of trouble to the world . So far, it has k【1】 hundreds of thousands of world people because the researchers have not found the ideal medicine to prevent such disease.  Sadly,  it is slow to receive the medical r【2】 after taking the COVID-19 swab (人体化验拭子），especially in some poor countries. It has worried people around the world a lot. L【3】, some good news comes from the dogs of Finland, a northern European country. They are using their noses for a different purpose——COVID-19.

“This week, dogs which are used to test COVID-19 have started s【4】 visitors on and out of the planes as part of a research at Finland’s Helsinki-Vantaa airport. Volunteers have t【5】 a team of 15 dogs for the research programme.

The dogs can test COVID-19 in humans five days before the symptoms (症状）a【6】,” Anna Hielm-Bjorkman, a leader who is running the research, told the Reuters news reporter.

“The dogs are very good at testing COVID-19. They make few m【7】, so we come close to full success,” she said. “First, the tested visitors should clean their necks with clothes. And then, these clothes will be put in a special bin in front of dogs to smell. It takes only a few minutes to know w【8】 the visitors have caught COVID-19.”

There are enough pleasant news from these cute smart animals, b【9】 more research still needs to be done to prove the efficiency (有效性) of dog testing.

People are also r【10】 to take a medical swab to prove their health when they take part in the research. Timo Aronkyto, head of the airport, said it was possible that the dogs could go around the airport in a similar way to the police dogs in the future.
