2025-2026学年（上）宿迁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。

Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night? If so, here is a piece of advice for you: Listen to some soft music.

Scientists have found that soft music can help to improve our sleep. This works for sleepers of all ages and even for those with sleeping problems. Soft music can help us fall asleep faster, wake up less during the night and feel more rested in the morning. You may not notice the effects overnight, though. 1. It could take at least three weeks to see improvements.

2.为什么轻音乐能助于我们睡得更好？ The reasons aren’t clear yet. It may have something to do with the relaxing effect of a good song. Music can have real physical effects, too. Soft music can lower our heart rate and slow down our breathing. 3.这对我们入睡有好处。

Scientists say that for most people, music that has 70 beats(节拍) per minute works best. Classical, jazz and folk music are usually more effective than other musical styles. Familiar songs work well, too. You may need to experiment to make your own playlists. If you are not sure how many beats a song has in a minute, you may find it out on www.songbpm.com. And remember to get the volume(音量) right. Make sure the final piece is the one that slowly fades out(减弱), 4. if you don’t want to be woken up by the sudden silence.

It’s very important to get enough high-quality sleep. 5. Before you go to bed tonight, play some soft music. Then, just prepare to be rocked off to dreamland!

25、Dear Boarding Students，

At this time of school year，we can feel some students begin to experience excitement as the summer vacation comes.But some others still don't want to start packing.I once again ask for your attention as we will have summer camps for the new students.There is much work to be done in packing and cleaning－up，especially during exam week.

________________________ Each student will get a task list and each task has a deadline(截止期限)．The dorm(寝室) teachers will work with each student each night to make sure you are getting the tasks done on time.It would be helpful if your parents encourage you to do a little packing and cleaning from now on.It means you can take the posters off the wall，pack up winter clothes，return all borrowed books to the library，etc.Spending twenty minutes a day on your tasks will make the last week of the term very easy，and you can spend more time on the important preparation for exams.If you plan to travel home，I'd like to remind you to take some of your belongings with you.

The coming weekend is a “closed weekend”．During that time no one is allowed to leave school.After packing we need to prepare the dorms for moving out，and store(储藏) students' large belongings.

The last exam is on Thursday and all students leave after their exam.The dorm will remain open until 5 p．m. on Friday for those students that could not get a ride or flight.Please let us know if you need transportation to the airport.

Thank you again for all your attention during the last，busy month of school.As always，you are welcome to call or email me with any questions.

27、Beijing Opera is one of the Chinese traditional drama (戏剧) art forms (形式) and the largest Chinese opera form. Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from many other drama forms, mostly from the local drama “Huiban”. It was especially popular in south China during the 18th century.

Beijing Opera has spread to many other places. Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous performers of all, was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made highly successful tours to foreign countries.

“You will doubt (疑惑) and sometimes be a little bored, but you will be interested gradually (逐渐地). You will be strongly attracted to Beijing Opera, even if you know nothing about the drama background (背景).” This is how one traveler described his first experience in watching Beijing Opera.
