Home, Safe Home
Monty was angry, again. His mother didn’t let him go to his friend’s place. “You have to help me,”
she said.

the baby. Nobody cared about him, he thought. He should run away. He was always saying he was
going to run away. But he never did. Well, this time he would.
Monty climbed over the fence. Then he found his dog, Trip. “Go home!” shouted Monty. “I’m
running away!” But Trip was like a rabbit and he was off through the trees. Monty began to run after
Trip, but Trip was running like a racehorse. Suddenly, Monty stopped. There were tall trees all around
him. Monty went one way and then the other. He was lost. Monty was scared.
It was getting dark. The trees seemed to be coming closer and closer. Monty felt like a fly in a
spider’s web. He lay and covered himself with the leaves. He heard a noise in the dark and began to
shake.
It was Trip that found Monty. Trip woke him up with his warm, wet tongue. “Trip!” Monty
shouted. “Home! Go boy!”
When Monty got home, there were people everywhere. His mother was crying. Even his sisters
were crying! His dad was there too and he lived hours away!
Monty hid behind a tree and watched. It was only a minute, but it was enough. All these people
cared about him, Monty!

Language students often think they have memory problems. They worry because they can’t
remember words. In fact, the problem is not usually with their memory. The problem is with how they
study.
To remember words better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of
memory: short-term and long-term. When you see, hear, or read something, it goes first into short-term
memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something
longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many,
many books. And like a library, it’s organized (有条理的). When you put away a book or memory, you
can’t just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again.
How can you do this with vocabulary? The answer is to work with the word and think about the
word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences that include (包含) it. Even better, you can
make a little story about the word, with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a
picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is height (高度), you can think of the
tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think
about words. They make the meaning of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a
way to find a word when you need it.
27. In the writer’s opinion, students can’t remember words because ________.
A. they are too worried B. they don’t like to study
C. they have memory problems D. they don’t use a right way
28. What do you know about memory according to the passage?
A. Short-term memory is seldom used.
B. What we see goes into long-term memory first.
C. We will never forget a word if it goes into long-term memory.
D. We will forget a word soon if it goes into short-term memory.
29. Which is one example of “thinking about the word in new ways” in Paragraph 3?
A. Talking with people that you know. B. Listening to some funny stories.
C. Making sentences with the word. D. Drawing pictures of the word on paper.
30. This passage mainly tells us about ________.
A. how to improve ways to remember words B. how to make the meaning of words stronger
C. short-term and long-term memory D. language students’ problems in study
D
Facial-recognition cameras are everywhere, even in your smartphone. Many people use this
technology to unlock their phones, open doors, or make quick payments. But during the pandemic (疫
情), can it still work when people put on masks?
The answer is no. Scientists are trying to solve this problem. For example, Engineering &
Technology (E＆T) magazine reports that Hanwang, a tech company in Beijing, has made a new
system. It can recognize 95 percent of people when they wear masks.
What’s the secret? It’s all about your eyes.
八年级第一学期期末英语试卷 第 4 页 (共 6 页)scan Marios Savides from Carnegie Mellon University, US,
studies facial recognition. As we get older, he says, our faces
change. But the area around our eyes doesn’t. It stays the
same—even if we put on weight. As long as there is enough
information from the area of our eyes, the cameras can
recognize us.
mask
Tech 5 is another facial-recognition company. The
Swiss company’s software (软件) scans the shape of your
face. It also scans your iris (虹膜), which is the colored part of your eyes. Tech 5 hopes to leave out all
of the face below the nose.
This kind of software is more important than just unlocking your phone. “It can search for
criminals (罪犯) even when they wear masks,” said Huang Lei from Hanwang. Hanwang’s technology
is used by Chinese police in places like stations and airports.
Huang pointed out one big weakness: it can’t work when people wear both a mask and sunglasses.
“In this situation (情况), all of the key facial information is lost,” Lei said to E&T.
31. The writer leads to the topic by ________.
A. giving an example B. telling stories C. listing numbers D. raising a problem
32. The new system can recognize 95 percent people by scanning ________.
A. the face B. the eyes C. the nose D. the mouth
33. We can infer that the new system ________.
A. can recognize all people with masks in the future
B. can help the police to look for criminals
C. has brought plenty of money to Tech 5
D. can recognize a person even when he loses some weight

Teahouse is one of Lao She’s most famous plays. He wrote it in 1957. The play has three acts and
shows the lives of common people in China from the end of the nineteenth century to the middle of the
twentieth century. It tells us the story of Wang Lifa and the customers of his teahouse in Beijing. It
describes the changes in Chinese society (社会) over fifty years.
Lao She was born in Beijing in 1899. His mother sent him to a teacher’s school in 1913. In 1918,
he became a head teacher of a primary school. In 1924, Lao She left home and went to England. He
taught Chinese at a college (学院) in London and returned to China five years later. He wrote many
plays, novels and short stories about people’s lives. Lao She is one of the greatest Chinese writers of
the twentieth century.
Today Lao She Teahouse in Qianmen is a good place to visit. Visitors can drink tea and eat
