北京市东城区 2019-2020 学年八年级上学期期末英语试题
单项填空
1. I have a big family. There are eight people in ________family.
A. my B. I C. me D. mine
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：我有一个大家庭。我家有八口人。
考查形容词性物主代词。my我的，形容词性物主代词；I我，人称代词主格；me我，人称代词宾格；
mine我的，名词性物主代词。此处修饰其后名词family，可知要用形容词性物主代词，故选A。
【点睛】形容词性物主代词和名词性物主代词都可翻译成“某人的”，但是两者用法不同。形容词性物主
代词看作形容词，作定语修饰其后名词；名词性物主代词看作名词，作主语、宾语或表语，其后无需再接
名词。两者可构成一个等式：形容词性物主代词+名词=名词性物主代词。
2. I always come to school________ bus.
A. on B. by C. of D. in
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：我总是乘公交车来学校。

—In the store around the corner.
A. How B. Why C. When D. Where
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：——这些苹果很好吃。你在哪里买的？——在角落处的那家店。
考查特殊疑问词。How怎样；Why为何；When何时；Where何处。根据下文回答的是地点，可知此处是
询问地点，应该用where，故选D。
4. I'd like to play basketball with you, ________ I have homework to do.
A. for B. so C. but D. or
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：我想和你打篮球，但是我有作业要做。考查并列连词。for因为；so所以；but但是；or或者。根据前后两句的逻辑，可知此处表示转折，应该用
but，故选C。
5. —Lucy, ________ you tell me how to improve my English?
—Why don't you read more English stories?
A. can B. must C. should D. need
【答案】A
【解析】

A. the most interested B. most interested C. more interested D. interested
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：我弟弟喜欢做模型飞机。他对科学比美术更感兴趣。

7. The opera is very difficult. I hope ________ more next time.
A. understand B. understanding C. to understand D. understood

【解析】
【详解】句意：这个戏剧很难。我希望下次能理解更多。

过去分词。根据固定用法，hope后接动词不定式作宾语，意为“希望做某事”，故选C。
【点睛】hope既有名词词性，意为“希望”，又有动词词性，意为“希望”，其作动词时，常见用法如下：
①后接动词不定式作宾语，即hope to do sth.，意为“希望做某事”；②后接宾语从句，通常可省略宾语从
句的引导词that，注意此时其后要接完整的句子，不存在hope sb. to do sth.的用法。
8. I ________ to my grandparents’ home every weekend.
A. go B. went C. was going D. will go
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：我每个周末都去祖父母家。
考查动词时态。go一般现在时；went一般过去时；was going过去进行时；will go一般将来时。根据频率副词every weekend，可知用一般现在时，故选A。

A. calls B. called C. was calling D. is calling
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：嘘，请别讲话那么大声。妈妈正在给你外婆打电话呢。
考查动词时态。calls一般现在时；called一般过去时；was calling过去进行时；is calling现在进行时。根据
语境，可知此处要用现在进行时，故选D。
【点睛】解答动词的时态类试题时，考生可参考以下3种方法来判断用哪种时态：
（1）根据时间状语确定时态
特定的时间状语往往标志着特定的时态，句中已经给出了明显的时间状语。考生只要牢记这些时间标志词
所对应的时态，在答题时就会变得游刃有余。如：
①一般现在时，熟记明显的时间标志词，如often, usually, every系列等。
②一般过去时的时间标志词有just now, yesterday, in the past, last系列等。
③一般将来时的时间标志词有tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, next系列等。
④现在进行时的时间标志词有now, at the moment等。
⑤过去进行时的时间标志词有at that time等。
的
④现在完成时 时间标志词有already, since, for, so far, recently等。
(2)利用上下文语境判断时态
动词的时态是由上下文的语境来决定的，这就要求考生一方面要熟记各种时态的适用范围，另一方面要注
意上下文想表达的语境。因此，如果一个英语句子中既没有出现时间状语，也没有可供判断时态的上下文，
那么就应当把这个句子翻译成中文，根据中文意思来判断这个句子该用何种时态。
(3)根据上下文已有的时态信息确定时态
有些试题虽然看起来没有时间状语，但是上下句的动作存在着明显的时间顺序，因此可根据上下文已有的
时态来判断空格处所要选用的时态。
10. Sorry, I can't meet you this afternoon. I ________ out with some friends.
A. go B. will go C. was going D. went
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：抱歉，我今天下午不能见你。我要和一些朋友出去。
在
考查动词时态。go一般现 时；will go一般将来时；was going过去进行时；went一般过去时。根据时间状语this afternoon，可知要用一般将来时，故选B。
11. Last Sunday my brother ________ to the football game.
A. go B. goes C. went D. will go
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：上周日，我哥哥去参加足球比赛了。
考查动词时态。go一般现在时；goes一般现在时；went一般过去时；will go一般将来时。根据时间状语
Last Sunday，可知用一般过去时，故选C。
12. My sister________ her room when Susie rang and asked her out.
A. is tidying B. was tidying C. tidies D. tidied
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：当苏西打电话叫我姐姐出去时，她正在打扫房间。
考查动词时态。is tidying现在进行时；was tidying过去进行时；tidies一般现在时；tidied一般过去时。根
据从句when Susie rang and asked her out用一般过去时，此处表示我姐姐当时正在做什么，可知此处用过去
进行时，故选B。

His Daily Check-InI started the second term of tenth grade on February 1, seven years ago. But the next day, my mother passed
away in her sleep during the night. After we laid my mother to rest, I went back to school, but I didn't care much to
be there at all.
Since it was a new term, my teachers didn't know me very well. My English teacher, Mr. Goldberg, would ask
the class questions and call on people to answer. When he called on me, he'd pretty much be waking me up from
wherever my mind would be. I'd say, “Excuse me? What was that?” He'd ask me again, and I'd have the correct
answer.
One day, he asked me to meet him after class. “I don’t understand what's going on,” he said. “You always
seem lost. Your mind is always some place else during class, but you know all the answers."
I told him the reason I came to school every day was because my mother made me. Now that she wasn't here, I
didn't really feel the need to go anymore.
Then he said, "Well, just do me a favor. I want you to meet me in my office during sixth period." So I met him,
just to talk. Afterward, he said, “Meet me tomorrow, same time.” This went on and on, every single day. He had me
meet him before class. I would help him grade papers, and we would talk.
Mr. Goldberg went around to all my classes and talked to all my teachers. He said, “If you have any problems
with Maxie Jones, come to me.”
The next year, he did the same thing. I met with him every day, and he talked to all my teachers about
whatever was going on with me. Again, he told them, “If you've got any problem with Maxie, come and talk to
me.”
By the time I graduated (毕业) from high school, I had never missed a single day of school.
It took me years before I realized what he had done. I graduated from high school in the top 10% of my class.
But at 15 having lost my mother and not really seeing the importance of learning—I was in line to be a high school
dropout. I realized that the reason I showed up to school every day was because somebody there was expecting (期
望) to see me. That somebody was Mr. Goldberg. I will just remember him for the rest of my life.
24. What difficulty did Maxie meet at the beginning of the new term?
A. He lost his mother. B. He didn't rest well at home.
C. He had few friends at school. D. He didn’t understand the class well.
25. How did Maxie do in Mr. Goldberg's class?
A. He talked a lot with other students. B. He often answered questions quickly.
C. His mind was always someplace else. D. He helped Mr. Goldberg grade papers.
26. Maxie will always remember Mr. Goldberg, because________.
.
A. Mr Goldberg paid for his books B. Mr. Goldberg played games with himC. Mr. Goldberg helped him stay in school D. Mr. Goldberg's class is the most interesting
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. C

Later School Start Helps Kids Get Zzz
Teenagers have been sleeping less. This is an issue all across the United States. Research from Harvard
Medical School shows that having less sleep can make teens fat and cause some developmental problems. Because
of the increasing use of devices like smartphones and computers, students today are staying up late. Many teens use
them long after dark. “At night, I am on my phone and I just want to stay up. I often wake up so tired that I wish I
could go back to sleep,” Hazel Ostrowski, a high school student, said.
To make matters worse, 93% of high schools and 83% of middle schools in the U.S. start before 8:30 a. m.
That time goes against official health advice from American Academy of Pediatrics (美国儿科学会). Schools do
not want late start times, because it will cause traffic problems. Parents also want older kids to come home early to
watch younger kids in the afternoons.
But some studies suggest that students between the ages of 11 and 17 get enough sleep on school nights.
Therefore, some researchers suggest starting school late.
Researchers are studying later school start times in Seattle, Washington. The Seattle School District (区) made
a big time change in the fall of 2016. The change was for high schools and most middle schools. Before, the first
bell rang at 7:50 a. m. After the change, classes began at 8:45 a. m.
The researchers worked with science teachers at two high schools in Seattle, and 178 teenagers took part in
the study. They wore activity monitors to discover whether a later start to the school day would help them get moresleep. The researchers compared sleep habits (习惯) of these teens in spring 2016，before the change, to sleep
habits of them from spring 2017, after later start times began.
What changed was wake-up time. Morning wake-up time changed from 6:24 a. m. to 7:08 a. m. Falling asleep
changed only a bit. It went from 11 :27p. m. to 11:38 p. m.
Researchers noticed that there were fewer late students after the changes. The study also found the students got
about 34 more minutes of sleep each night. Students also felt less sleepy in the daytime. Their grades improved as
well. It seems a later start to school is helping students.
27. In the first paragraph, the writer gives the example of Hazel to show________.
A. students wake up tired from sleeping too long
B. students want to stay up late to have a good time
C. students become much fatter for taking less exercise
D. students sleep less because of using smartphones long
28. According to the study, the Seattle School District ________.
A. starts school at 8:30 in the morning B. starts school 55 minutes later than usual
C. asks students to change their sleeping habits D. asks parents to make sure their kids go to bed early
29. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Reasons for later school start. B. Advantages of later school start.
C. Causes of less sleep in students. D. Solutions to the problem of sleeping less.
【答案】27. D 28. B 29. B
【解析】

You Can Run a Mile!
Demian L. started running about a year and a half ago at his school in Brooklyn, N. Y., and then he joined
another running program, called the Mighty Milers. Demian, now in fifth grade, took first place in the 1,500-meter
race for his age group. He ran nearly 1 mile, in 5 minutes and 44 seconds. That is superfast! “I felt really good and
it was a big confidence builder," he said. To train for the race, Demian ran three times a week and did stretching (拉
伸)exercises and other sports. He likes the way running keeps him fit and feeling good. “Running makes me
happy!” he said.
Can you run a mile? Of course you can. Larry Greene, an exercise science expert (专家), a former runner and
coach, thinks it's a good idea to join a school team or a local running club that has a good coach. A coach can teach
you correct running form—that’s how you hold your body and move your arms and legs. If you learn to run in the
right way, you won't get hurt. A coach can also remind you to pace yourself. “If you start too fast, you'll have to
slow down or stop," Greene explained ( 解释).“If you start too slowly, you might not meet your time goal.”
The library and the Internet can improve your running. “When I first started running a mile, I got much help
from reading about the sports," Greene said. “Learn as much as you can by reading books and magazines about
running.”
To train for a mile run, start by running a short distance (距离), such as one-quarter mile. Over the next few
weeks, slowly increase the distance by one-eighth or one-quarter of a mile at a time. That gives your body time to
adjust (调整) to each new challenge. It can also lower your risk of getting hurt. If you ever feel too tired to keep
going, stop. “Don't push you when running becomes painful,” Greene said.
And never run outside alone—have a workout partner who will run with you. Warm up, stretch, and cool
down together. Check your running forms each other. Having someone else watch you run will help you make sure
you are running safely. It helps to pass the time too!
30. Taking first place in the 1,500-meter race makes Demian feel ________.
A. relaxed B. lucky C. loved D. confident
31. According to the passage, Larry Greene probably agrees that ________.
A. it's important to learn to run with a coach
B. it's hard to get good grades if you start running late
C. reading books before running is helpful to pass the time
D. short distance running is good to improve your running skills
32. The word “challenge” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.A. something new and difficult B. something cheap but special
C. something easy and interesting D. something cool but dangerous
33. The writer writes this passage mainly to________.
A. study the advantages of running B. give advice on how to run a mile
C. ask people to join his running club D. explain why people should run a mile
【答案】30. D 31. A 32. A 33. B

阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。Salt Lake City is known for many things. It is named for the Great Salt Lake, which is the largest salt water
lake in North America. The city held the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. Now, it is famous for helping to protect a
family of peregrine falcons.
Young peregrine falcons begin learning how to fly when they are about five or six weeks old. It takes about a
week for the parents to teach them. In natural areas, it is a bit safer for the young birds to take the risks that come
with learning to fly. In cities, it can be more dangerous because they can hit the buildings or fly into traffic.
In Salt Lake City, volunteers (志愿者) put on bright orange vests (背心)to protect themselves as they keep an
eye on the young birds. These volunteers actually put themselves in danger to save the birds. For example, if a
young peregrine falcon accidentally flies into traffic, one volunteer stops traffic. Another tries to catch the bird and
move it out of harm's way.
Bob Walters, one of the volunteers, joins a group of more than 20 people interested in the peregrine falcons.
They give some basic training on what will need to be done once the young birds start flying. Jon Everts has been
volunteering for several years. He says he keeps coming back because it's one of the world's fastest birds.
Many birdwatchers in the area heard about the nests and the young falcons. Some of them came out to help.
Others just wanted to watch as the babies took their first flights. The volunteers are right to be worried about the
young falcons. In the last few years, people counted 16 young peregrine falcons around downtown Salt Lake City.
Only 11 of those birds continued to live. Of the 11 birds, six were helped by volunteers.
These numbers help the volunteers remember that the work they are doing really makes a difference. Some of
them work 12-hour days to protect the peregrine falcons and their families. However, when the volunteers see a
new generation (一代) of falcons that are ready to leave home, it makes all their work meaningful.
34. What is Salt Lake City famous for now?
____________________________________________________________________
35. Why is it dangerous for young peregrine falcons to learn to fly in cities?
____________________________________________________________________
36. If a young peregrine falcon flies into traffic, what do volunteers do?
____________________________________________________________________
37. What does Jon Everts think of the peregrine falcons?
____________________________________________________________________
38. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
_____________________________________________________________________
【答案】34. Helping to protect a family of peregrine falcons.
35. Because they can hit the buildings or fly into traffic.36. They stop traffic, catch the bird and move it to a safe place.
37. He thinks it's one of the world's fastest birds.
