It tells us that American students don't like studying．CYou may know the English letters A，B and C．But do you know there are people called ABCs？Do you know there is such a thing as"a banana person"？How strange!ABC means American-born Chinese．An ABC is a Chinese，but was born in the United States．Sometimes，people call an ABC a"banana person"．A banana is yellow outside．So，when a person is a"banana"，he or she is white inside-thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside-looking like a Chinese．Usually，ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language．Some of them don't speak Chinese．But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese，can we still call them Chinese people？Yes，of course．They are overseas（海外的）Chinese．These people may be citizens（公民）of another country like the US，Canada or Singapore．But they have Chinese blood．Their parents，grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China．They all have black eyes and black hair．But they are not Chinese citizens．They are people of the People's Republic of China．For example，we all know the famous scientist C．N．Yang（杨振宁）．He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957．Chinese people love him．But he is an American citizen．41."ABCs"in this passage means ______ ．A. three English lettersB. a kind of bananaC.

If nature sends these warnings, don’t wait for rain. Act right away to keep safe.Steps to keep safeAt the first flash of lightning, quickly get inside a building or a car. Do not go into a shed or baseball dugout. They are not closed like a building, so they are not safe.Even after you are indoors, be careful. It is not smart to go near doors and windows. They can blow in or break. A room with no windows is the safest place to be.Do not wash your hands during a storm. Do not use anything that runs on electricity either. Water and electrical lines are like roads for lightning. Even if you really want to play computer games, don’t! It is better to be bored than to risk getting hurt. Try reading a book instead. Reading is more fun than playing computer games.If you can’t get to somewhere safe, stay out in the open. You may feel safe under a tree, but that is not a good place to be. Lightning is pulled toward tall poles and trees. Stay down low in an open space and cover your ears to protect them. Loud thunder can damage your hearing.76. dark 77. waiting 78.

are from the traditional all the way to the totally experimental（实验的）.They are in different styles and subjects,but they are all “good parts”.♦Night Sky with Exit Wounds by Ocean VuongIt is the first poetry collection from Ocean Vuong.Vuong’s style matches the heavy subjects he is looking for.In his poetry,he mainly showed the sadness of the loss of his father and his experiences as a wartime refugee（难民）.There is a certain wonderful quality to his writing.♦Lunch Poems by Frank O’HaraIf you like a conversational style,Lunch Poems might be the poetry book for you.Personal,funny,and easy,the collection perfectly shows the casual（轻松）voice of Frank O’Hara,an outstanding man of the New School Movement in late-’50s New York.As the name suggests,most of the poems were written during lunch break at work,bringing real life alive by the writing.♦100 Selected Poems by E.E.CummingsIt’s a pity that more people don’t take E.E.Cumming seriously.Yet,his poetry is sometimes experimental.Cummings tried to show his feelings in its own form.♦The Complete Poems by Elizabeth BishopIn my opinion,any kind of fantastic poetry books must include Elizabeth Bishop.Highly skilled,Bishop was one of the most powerful voice of the 20th century.She mostly worked within traditional forms,but the forms led to surprising effects,bringing classic styles and modern ones together.46.Whose poetry talks about the war?A.Frank O’Hara’sB.Ocean Vuong’sC.E.E.Cumming’sD.Elizabeth Bishop’s47.Which poetry collection shows us the real world?A.Lunch PoemsB.100 Selected PoemsC.The Complete PoemsD.Night Sky with Exit Wounds48.What does the author think of Elizabeth Bishop’s poetry?A.It is funnyB.It is personalC.It is excellentD.It is experimentalBA wise old man saw his grandson having an argument with his wife.He asked his grandson, “Why do you raise（提高）your voice every time you argue with your wife?”He grandson answered, “I raise my voice so that my voice is heard.”“Your wife is close enough for her to hear you when you say the same sentence in a clam manner.Why do you have to raise your voice?”the grandfather asked.“Perhaps because I need to let off some steam by raising my voice,”his grandson replied.“The steam will go out in the same way if you whisper to her.So why is that?”“Or because I lose my patience when she doesn’t understand my point of view,”the man said unwillingly.“Perhaps,but that is not the real reason why you raise your voice.The real reason is that when you are angry with your wife,your heart moves away from her heart.So even though you are physically（身体上地）close to each other,you feel like you have to shout,”the grandfather replied.“So what should you do to solve this?”the grandfather asked.“When two people are in love,their hearts are close to each other.If you whisper softly,you can both hear each other clearly.This is how you should talk to each other,”the grandfather replied.49.What was wrong with the grandson?A.He had a bad voice.B.He had a hearing problem.C.He wouldn’t talk to his wife.D.He was shouting at his wife.50.Why did the grandson raise his voice,according to the old man?A.He wanted himself to be heard.B.He felt far away from his wife at heart.C.He lost his patience.D.He wanted to let off some steam.51.What did the old man advise his grandson to do?A.Listen carefullyB.Stand closer if you can’t hear someone.C.Keep love in your heart.D.Shout loudly if you want to be heard52.What’s the best title of the passage?A.Love can get closeB.Love is not importantC.Help people in needD.A wise old manCHalloween is just around the corner.People in the West celebrate it on October 31 every year.Children usually go trick-or-treating.They usually knock on their neighbor’s doors and ask for candy.But because of COVID-19,many cities have advised people not to go trick-or-treating this year.As health experts said,the virus spreads more easily when people have close touch with each other.But this won’t smash the fans’ Halloween spirit.For example,Elizabeth Lusty from London came up with an idea for her two children.She and her neighbors will put boxes of candy on their front yards.Then they’ll plan a safe route so that children can take the candy without coming into touch with others.Andrew Beattie from the US also got creative.He and his 6-year-old daughter made a contact-free candy chute（滑道）.It stretched（延伸）from the family’s front door to the sidewalk.They can send candy down the chute to trick-or-treaters outside.The idea became popular online and many people are doing the same.“This is something that the kids will enjoy and not think of it as ‘I’m doing this to prevent disease’”Beattie told CNN. “They are doing it to have a good time,and we need that now more than ever.”53.This year,many cities have advised people not to go trick-or-treating because _______ .A.it’s not healthy for children to eat candy.B.neighbors will not give out candy to kids.C.many cities will stop the activity.D.close touch may make COVID-19 spread easily.54.How can kids collect candy from Andrew’s house this Halloween?A.They can collect candy as usual.B.They can collect candy from a chute.C.Andrew will hand it to them.D.They can take it from a box.55.What does the underlined word “smash”mean in Paragraph 3?A.breakB.passC.keepD.have56.What can we infer（推断）from the last paragraph?A.COVID-19 might spread quickly on Halloween.B.Not only kids but also adults need trick-or-treating these days.C.Trick-or-treating will not be fun this year.D.All the kids can truly understand the reasons for making contact-free candy chutes.DA special copyright case（版权案）has recently drawn attention because it is related to（和……有关的）artificial intelligence（AI）A court in Shenzhen ruled that a news report written by Tencent’s AI enjoys copyright protection.A website broke the law because it used the article without permission（允许）.This is the first case in China that has provided（提供）copyright protection to work done by AI.But what does it indicate（表明）?Will AI take the place of creative workers in the future?It may not be true.AI is not yet able to write creative stories.The new report mentioned above is mainly about data.Some newspapers also use AI to report on stories about natural disasters,which mainly use basic facts such as “where”and “when”.As Forbes wrote,some reporters can make their work more efficient（高效的）by using AI so that they can focus more on storytelling and less in numbers.AI is actually being helpful in many creative fields.For example,Wayne McGregor,a British choreographer（编舞者）,is famous for using AI to create new dance.For him,AI is a powerful tool that can help choreographers break out of common movements.McGregor is not worried that AI might replace（取代）human artists. “AI can’t judge（判断）the quality of the choreography,”he said.What else can AI do?AI can learn different music styles by analyzing audio data to create music ranging from pop to jazz and more.By creating starting points and giving suggestions,AI makes design faster.“It’s time to stop worrying about if AI can be creative,”according to Forbes.Instead,we should focus on（专注于）how humans and AI can work together in ways that we have never dreamed of before.57.According to the copyright case related to AI,we know that_______ .A.AI can also break the lawB.News stories cannot be written by AIC.Articles written by AI also have copyright protectionD.AI can use others’ articles without permission58.Which kind of stories might AI be good at writing?A.Sci-fi storiesB.Disaster reportsC.Horror storiesD.Poems59.According Paragraph 4,Wayne McGregor agrees that_______ .A.AI helps him do creative workB.AI can create new dances by itselfC.AI might replace human artistsD.AI can teach people how to dance60.Which of the following might be the writer’s idea?A.Many jobs will disappear because of AI.B.We should make laws for AI.C.AI is difficult to use.D.We should work together with AI.第II卷(主观题共65 分)五、词汇题（本大题共15 分）(A) 根据句意及中文或英文提示写出句中单词。

任务型阅读专题江苏省海安县西片11校联考2020-2021学年度第一学期八年级期中考试英语试卷十、阅读与回答问题（本题共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）It seems that everybody tells lies — well, not big lies, but what we call “white lies”. Telling “white lies” isn’t really that bad. Most of the time, people do it because they want to protect a friendship. A survey (调查) shows that each person lies about seven times a day. The only real questions are about when we lie and who we tell lies to. Here are some reasons why people tell “white lies”.◆Lying to hide something: People often lie because they want to hide something from someone. For example, Paul doesn’t tell his parents that he is going to play basketball because he doesn’t think they will agree. He tells a lie that he’s going to the library to study.◆Lying to make someone feel good: Often we don’t tell the truth to make someone feel good. For example, your friend cooks dinner for you, but it doesn’t taste good. Do you say so? No! You probably say, “Mmm, this is delicious!”◆Giving false (错误) excuses: Sometimes people lie because they don’t want to do something. For example, someone invites you to a party. You think it well be boring, so you say you’re busy.◆Lying to hide bad news: Sometimes we don’t want to tell someone bad news. For example, you have just had a very bad day at work, but you don’t want to talk about it. So if someone asks you about your day, you just say everything was fine.106.

Why do people tell “white lies” most of the time?________________________________________________________ ____________________108.What will you say to make your friend feel good though the dish he makes doesn’t taste good?________________________________________________________ ____________________109. How often does each person lie according to (根据) a survey?________________________________________________________ ____________________110. Do you like telling “white lies”? Why or why not? (请自拟一句话作答)________________________________________________________ ____________________十、阅读与回答问题106. Four.107. Because they want to protect a friendship. / To protect a friendship.108. I will say, “Mmm, this is delicious!” / Mmm, this is delicious!109. About seven times a day.110. 与短文话题一致、言之有理即可。

need"需要"中间不加任何成分，由题干"西蒙是个诚实的孩子，他总是愿意帮助有需要的人．"可知，因"一个诚实的孩子"是泛指，"一个"用不定冠词，因honest是以元音音素开头的单词，因此第一个个空格用an；第二个空格"不填"，所以答案应是an．不填．故选：C．西蒙是个诚实的孩子，他总是愿意帮助有需要的人．本题考查冠词的用法，在熟知所供词的含义基础上，根据句意，从而判断出正确答案．2.【答案】C【解析】in"在…之内"；at "在、以、向"；on"在…之上、在…时候"，三者都是介词．因arrive at/in "到达"，用at一般指小地点，in一般指大地点．on 用在具体的时间前．由题干"我姑妈在10月13号晚上到达了一个小镇．"可知，第一空格用at；第二个空格用on

Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed, and few of us know that it is just his own fault (过错). Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and when they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook. As a result, they have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is being exercised the whole time.So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practice remembering things in a way as other people do.40．Someone can't have a good memory if ________.A．he can't read or writeB．his parents haven't a good memoryC．he doesn't make good use of his memoryD．he doesn't use his arms or legs for some time41．If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, ________.A．they will become thinB．they will become weakC．they begin to ache all overD．you can't use them any more42．Which of the following statements is true?A．Your memory needs chance for practice.B．A good memory is inherited(遗传) from parents.C．Your memory works in the different ways as your arms or legs.D．Don't learn to read and write if you want to have a good memory.43．Few people know that if someone has a poor memory it is ________.A．his own fault B．his parents' faultC．his teachers' fault D．his friends' fault44．The writer wants to tell us ________.A．how to read and write wellB．how to have a good memoryC．how to use our arms or legs betterD．how to learn from the people who can't read or write四、根据句意填空9.45．Can you give me some __________ (建议) on my English study? 46．Who is your ________ (亲密的) friend?47．The fish on the plate is very ___________ (with a pleasant taste). 48．There is too much __________ (movement of cars) on the road every day. 49．English is a foreign ___________ to us Chinese.五、用单词的正确形式完成句子10.50．We should remember those brave _____________.51．___________, they passed yesterday’s exam.52．At the beginning of the trip, I felt very _________.53．The old man is even _________ today.54．It is not right to think English is ________.11.55．The bad news made her ________ sadly.56．Who __________ you to school this morning?57．It’s 7:00 p.m. The Greens ______________ the trip to Hong Kong. 58．He with his friends __________ to the cinema tonight.59．The policeman told the boys_____________ football on the road．六、句型转换60．Jane isn’t as slim as Amy.（改为同义句）Amy __________ ___________ than Jane.61．Why don’t we walk slowly around the lake?

If you are late for class, you may go into the classroom quietly. But you should say sorry to the teacher after class. Answering questionsDon’t talk when somebody else is speaking. If you have something to say, you have to wait. Wh en someone is speaking, you shouldn’t interrupt him or her. If you want to answer the teacher’s questions, you may stand up and speak loudly. It’s impolite to keep quiet when your teacher asks you questions. If you don’t know the answers, you can say “I’m sorry”.Other interesting rulesSome American schools don’t allow students to wear caps, sunglasses or too large trousers. And they can’t bring any bananas to school. The school bags for the students are usually sheer （透明的）, so teachers can find what’s in it easily.75．If you are late for class in American schools, what should you do?________________________________________________________76．Is it polite to talk when someone else is speaking?________________________________________________________77．When students want to answer the teacher’s questions, what should they do? _________________________________________________________78．In some American schools, students can’t do any things.

are from the traditional all the way to the totally experimental（实验的）.They are in different styles and subjects,but they are all “good parts”.♦Night Sky with Exit Wounds by Ocean VuongIt is the first poetry collection from Ocean Vuong.Vuong’s style matches the heavy subjects he is looking for.In his poetry,he mainly showed the sadness of the loss of his father and his experiences as a wartime refugee（难民）.There is a certain wonderful quality to his writing.♦Lunch Poems by Frank O’HaraIf you like a conversational style,Lunch Poems might be the poetry book for you.Personal,funny,and easy,the collection perfectly shows the casual（轻松）voice of Frank O’Hara,an outstanding man of the New School Movement in late-’50s New York.As the name suggests,most of the poems were written during lunch break at work,bringing real life alive by the writing.♦100 Selected Poems by E.E.CummingsIt’s a pity that more people don’t take E.E.Cumming seriously.Yet,his poetry is sometimes experimental.Cummings tried to show his feelings in its own form.♦The Complete Poems by Elizabeth BishopIn my opinion,any kind of fantastic poetry books must include Elizabeth Bishop.Highly skilled,Bishop was one of the most powerful voice of the 20th century.She mostly worked within traditional forms,but the forms led to surprising effects,bringing classic styles and modern ones together.46.Whose poetry talks about the war?A.Frank O’Hara’sB.Ocean Vuong’sC.E.E.Cumming’sD.Elizabeth Bishop’s47.Which poetry collection shows us the real world?A.Lunch PoemsB.100 Selected PoemsC.The Complete PoemsD.Night Sky with Exit Wounds48.What does the author think of Elizabeth Bishop’s poetry?A.It is funnyB.It is personalC.It is excellentD.It is experimentalBA wise old man saw his grandson having an argument with his wife.He asked his grandson, “Why do you raise（提高）your voice every time you argue with your wife?”He grandson answered, “I raise my voice so that my voice is heard.”“Your wife is close enough for her to hear you when you say the same sentence in a clam manner.Why do you have to raise your voice?”the grandfather asked.“Perhaps because I need to let off some steam by raising my voice,”his grandson replied.“The steam will go out in the same way if you whisper to her.So why is that?”“Or because I lose my patience when she doesn’t understand my point of view,”the man said unwillingly.“Perhaps,but that is not the real reason why you raise your voice.The real reason is that when you are angry with your wife,your heart moves away from her heart.So even though you are physically（身体上地）close to each other,you feel like you have to shout,”the grandfather replied.“So what should you do to solve this?”the grandfather asked.“When two people are in love,their hearts are close to each other.If you whisper softly,you can both hear each other clearly.This is how you should talk to each other,”the grandfather replied.49.What was wrong with the grandson?A.He had a bad voice.B.He had a hearing problem.C.He wouldn’t talk to his wife.D.He was shouting at his wife.50.Why did the grandson raise his voice,according to the old man?A.He wanted himself to be heard.B.He felt far away from his wife at heart.C.He lost his patience.D.He wanted to let off some steam.51.What did the old man advise his grandson to do?A.Listen carefullyB.Stand closer if you can’t hear someone.C.Keep love in your heart.D.Shout loudly if you want to be heard52.What’s the best title of the passage?A.Love can get closeB.Love is not importantC.Help people in needD.A wise old manCHalloween is just around the corner.People in the West celebrate it on October 31 every year.Children usually go trick-or-treating.They usually knock on their neighbor’s doors and ask for candy.But because of COVID-19,many cities have advised people not to go trick-or-treating this year.As health experts said,the virus spreads more easily when people have close touch with each other.But this won’t smash the fans’ Halloween spirit.For example,Elizabeth Lusty from London came up with an idea for her two children.She and her neighbors will put boxes of candy on their front yards.Then they’ll plan a safe route so that children can take the candy without coming into touch with others.Andrew Beattie from the US also got creative.He and his 6-year-old daughter made a contact-free candy chute（滑道）.It stretched（延伸）from the family’s front door to the sidewalk.They can send candy down the chute to trick-or-treaters outside.The idea became popular online and many people are doing the same.“This is something that the kids will enjoy and not think of it as ‘I’m doing this to prevent disease’”Beattie told CNN. “They are doing it to have a good time,and we need that now more than ever.”53.This year,many cities have advised people not to go trick-or-treating because _______ .A.it’s not healthy for children to eat candy.B.neighbors will not give out candy to kids.C.many cities will stop the activity.D.close touch may make COVID-19 spread easily.54.How can kids collect candy from Andrew’s house this Halloween?A.They can collect candy as usual.B.They can collect candy from a chute.C.Andrew will hand it to them.D.They can take it from a box.55.What does the underlined word “smash”mean in Paragraph 3?A.breakB.passC.keepD.have56.What can we infer（推断）from the last paragraph?A.COVID-19 might spread quickly on Halloween.B.Not only kids but also adults need trick-or-treating these days.C.Trick-or-treating will not be fun this year.D.All the kids can truly understand the reasons for making contact-free candy chutes.DA special copyright case（版权案）has recently drawn attention because it is related to（和……有关的）artificial intelligence（AI）A court in Shenzhen ruled that a news report written by Tencent’s AI enjoys copyright protection.A website broke the law because it used the article without permission（允许）.This is the first case in China that has provided（提供）copyright protection to work done by AI.But what does it indicate（表明）?Will AI take the place of creative workers in the future?It may not be true.AI is not yet able to write creative stories.The new report mentioned above is mainly about data.Some newspapers also use AI to report on stories about natural disasters,which mainly use basic facts such as “where”and “when”.As Forbes wrote,some reporters can make their work more efficient（高效的）by using AI so that they can focus more on storytelling and less in numbers.AI is actually being helpful in many creative fields.For example,Wayne McGregor,a British choreographer（编舞者）,is famous for using AI to create new dance.For him,AI is a powerful tool that can help choreographers break out of common movements.McGregor is not worried that AI might replace（取代）human artists. “AI can’t judge（判断）the quality of the choreography,”he said.What else can AI do?AI can learn different music styles by analyzing audio data to create music ranging from pop to jazz and more.By creating starting points and giving suggestions,AI makes design faster.“It’s time to stop worrying about if AI can be creative,”according to Forbes.Instead,we should focus on（专注于）how humans and AI can work together in ways that we have never dreamed of before.57.According to the copyright case related to AI,we know that_______ .A.AI can also break the lawB.News stories cannot be written by AIC.Articles written by AI also have copyright protectionD.AI can use others’ articles without permission58.Which kind of stories might AI be good at writing?A.Sci-fi storiesB.Disaster reportsC.Horror storiesD.Poems59.According Paragraph 4,Wayne McGregor agrees that_______ .A.AI helps him do creative workB.AI can create new dances by itselfC.AI might replace human artistsD.AI can teach people how to dance60.Which of the following might be the writer’s idea?A.Many jobs will disappear because of AI.B.We should make laws for AI.C.AI is difficult to use.D.We should work together with AI.第II卷(主观题共65 分)五、词汇题（本大题共15 分）(A) 根据句意及中文或英文提示写出句中单词。
