人教新目标八年级英语下册单元测试题：Unit42019年学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、完型填空Young people are often unhappy when they are with their parents. They 1 that their parents don't understand them. They often think their parents are too strict 2 them. Parents often find 3 difficult to win their children's trust and they seem 4 how they themselves 5 when they were young.For example, young people like to do things without much 6 . It's one of their ways to 7 that they grow up and they can 8 any difficult problem. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead and don't like their plans to be changed. So when you want your parents to let you 9 ，you will have better success 10 you ask before you really start doing it.Young people often make their parents angry by clothes they wear, the music they enjoy and something else. But they 11 to cause any trouble. They just feel that in this way they can be cut off from the old people's world and they want to make a new culture 12 their own. And if their parents don't like their music or clothes or their way of speech, the young people feel very happy. Sometimes 13 going out with their parents, they just want to stay at home 14 and do what they like.If you plan to do something, you'd better win your parents over and get them to understand you.15 ，your parents will certainly let you do what you want to do.1．A．see B．hope C．say D．know 2．A．with B．in C．to D．over 3．A．that B．this C．one D．it4．A．to forget B．forgetting C．to remember D．remembering 5．A．thought B．wanted C．needed D．felt 6．A．speaking B．thinking C．seeing D．reading 7．A．learn B．see C．find D．show 8．A．solve B．find C．know D．find out 9．A．do anything B．to do anything C．do something D．to do something 10．A．since B．if C．because D．after 11．A．don't mean B．mean C．don't like D．like 12．A．at B．to C．over D．of 13．A．instead B．instead of C．besides D．except 14．A．alone B．lonely C．silently D．silent15．A．If B．If not C．If so D．However二、阅读单选Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might write them in his diary. Now he might get on the Internet and write them in his blog(博客). In many ways, a diary and a blog are almost the same. Then, what makes a blog different from a diary?The biggest difference is that a blog is much more public than a diary. Anyone can read what you write in your blog. Usually, a teenager likes hiding his diary book and treats it as a secret. If you are not satisfied with a friend and write something bad about him in your diary, he will never know it. However, if you do this on the Internet, that friend may read your blog and get angry. So we have to be careful of what we write.A blog has good points, of course. People choose to write in blogs. They know that their friends will read what they write. If you feel sad one day and write in your diary, no one will know about it. If you write the same words in your blog, your friends may quickly write back to comfort you and offer their help. Blogs help people know what their friends are doing. Though it's a good way to write blogs about everyday life, I still prefer my old diary. 16．Now when a teenager has some problems in his life, he might________．A．talk to his friends B．keep them in his diaryC．write them in his blog D．keep them in secret17．________ is NOT mentioned in the passage.A．Chatting on QQ B．Getting on the InternetC．Writing blogs D．The difference between a diary and a blog 18．The underlined word “comfort” means “________” in Chinese.A．责怪B．安慰C．嘲笑D．贬低19．From the passage we know that ________．A．the writer thinks a blog is more helpful than a diaryB．the writer thinks a blog and a diary are the sameC．the writer likes a diary better than a blogD．the writer likes a blog better than a diary20．The passage mainly talks about________．A．the teenagers' problems in their livesB．the difference between a diary and a blogC．the good points of writing blogsD．the good points of writing diariesMany people say that they are working too many hours. They don't have enough time to relaxor to stay with their family.Work hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year than a French worker.Why do people work so many hours? Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies don't pay overtime. Their workers don't get more pay for more work. Some people think it's their duty to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don't work more hours.Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks. One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days. In Great Britain, there is a saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull (迟钝的) boy." If that is true, there must be a lot of dull people in the world.21．A Japanese worker works __ more hours a year than a French one.A．513 B．1,646 C．2,159 D．3,805 22．The word "extra" in Paragraph 3 means .A．正常的B．额外的C．有用的D．少量的23．People in ________ get only two weeks of paid vacation a year.A．France B．GermanyC．the United States D．Great Britain24．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．No companies offer vacations to their workers.B．Many people say they have enough time to relax.C．Not all companies pay their workers for more work.D．More than half of workers use all their vacation days.25．What can we infer from the passage?A．Many workers have to work long hours.B．Many people have vacations long enough.C．Work hours are the same around the world.D．There are a lot of dull people in the world.（题文）Parents can be very important teachers in our lives. However, they are not always the best teachers. Parents may be too close to their children emotionally (感情上). Sometimes they can only see their children through the eyes of a protector. For example, a teacher might see a trip to a big city as a valuable experience. However, it might seem too dangerous to a parent.Another problem is that parents may expect their children’s interests to be similar to their own. If they love science, they may try to force (强迫) their child to love science too. But what if (要是……又怎样) their child’s true love is art, or writing, or car repair?Parents usually want to____their values to their children. But should children always believe what their parents do? When children are young, they believe that their parents are always right. But when they get older, they will have different ways of thinking.The most important thing to realize is that we all have many teachers in our lives. Our parents teach us, our teachers teach us, and our friends teach us. Books and newspapers and televisions also teach us. All of them are valuable.26．（小题1）________ might see a trip to a big city as a valuable experience, according to the passage.A．A parentB．A teacherC．Either a teacher or a parentD．Neither a teacher nor a parent27．（小题2）Parents may hope that their children have the same ________ as their own, according to the passage.A．looks B．interestsC．habits D．jobs in the future28．（小题3）The underlined phrase “pass on” in the 4th paragraph means “________” . A．路过B．继承C．传递D．领悟29．（小题4）When children get older, they ________.A．don’t believe their parents any moreB．should always believe what their parents doC．believe that their parents are always rightD．begin to have their own ways of thinking30．（小题5）What is the best title of the passage?A．Never grow up!B．Believe your parents forever.C．Are parents always the best teachers?D．How many teachers can we have in our lives?三、用单词的正确形式完成句子用方框中所给词的适当形式填空。
