They usually work together to help Riley enjoy the beautiful life. But Sadness is not sure about her work. She could donothing but make Riley cry.When Riley turns eleven, her family moves to San Francisco because her father gets a new job there. The little girl has to live in a new place and get onwith new classmates. Then something bad happens.

In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose* of education is to make people get jobs. But not all the people agree with this idea.Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his lifeto get education in order to make more money in the future. This was probably one of the earliest purposes of education. In fact, if education is just a way to make a living, peopl e don’t need to spend so much time in school. They can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history andgeography need not be taught to everyone. And people don’t have to learnmaths and languages so carefully. So it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.So what is education for? Education is well-rounded and it should improve a man in many ways. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, butalso to develop his creative* thinking and other abilities. After that, it isto make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all, take an interest in the world.I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the only reason.1. People with better education usually __________.A. have fewer chance to choose a good jobB. have more chances to get a good jobC. make less money than othersD. spend the best years making money2. The earliest education was probably to __________.A. teach a man to think creativelyB. teach people to read good booksC. improve a man in many waysD. help people make more money3. What does the underlined word “well-rounded” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese?A. 圆满的________B. 崭新的________C. 全面的________D. 公平的4. It is expected that educated people will be able to ___________.A. write good books by themselvesB. learn all the subjects very wellC. take an interest in the worldD. lead a richer life than others5. The passage mainly tells us that ____________.A. making a living is not the only purpose of education.B. people can get education in a short time.C. people should study hard to get better paying jobs.D. all subjects are very important for a way of living.四、选词填空16. 五、词汇运用A. 用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，使句子通顺、正确。

浙江省温州市第十二中学、第八中学2023-2024学年八年级上学期期中英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、完形填空I made a funny mistake.In my first class, the teacher wanted to make us know about each other well, so she let us talk about 2 names, hobbies or other things to our classmates. I introduced myself and then said, “I have a lot of friends, and they are all mu.” I knew the 3 mu because I had a female dog. My teacher said, “When you talk about people, you cannot say mu. You should say nü.” “OK.” I nodded. 4 I felt confused, because in English, “female” is just one word.Later that class, the teacher let everyone make a word group and 5 the word group on the notebook then share it on the blackboard. I was the first one to go up. I tried to do well and 6 wrote “nü sheep”. The teacher looked at the words and then asked the students, “Do you all 7 the words?”All the students answered, “Yes.” The teacher asked, “Why do all of you know, but I don’t? What do they mean?”“Female sheep,” 8 answered together.The teacher laughed and said, “Please remember that Chinese and English are 9 . The word nü is only used for people.”I sometimes make jokes about my 10 as I am learning Chinese. These funny mistakes help me a lot. For example, from that time on, I remembered that mu and nü are different, and I will never mix them up again.1．A．English B．Chinese C．German D．Japanese 2．A．our B．her C．your D．their 3．A．word B．letter C．sentence D．spelling4．A．So B．But C．And D．Because 5．A．look up B．think of C．look after D．write down 6．A．politely B．quickly C．carefully D．carelessly 7．A．remember B．pronounce C．understand D．say 8．A．nobody B．anyone C．someone D．everyone 9．A．same B．easy C．different D．difficult 10．A．mistakes B．lessons C．teachers D．classmates二、阅读单选As many of the best movie theaters in Chicago were closed last year, more and more drive-in theaters get popular there. Here are some of them.McHenry Outdoor Theater Starting from the 1950s, this drive-in theater is open no later than 6:30 p. m. each day and tickets there are first come, first served. But thankfully the theater has room for 350 cars.

People love it for its friendly nature and relaxing lifestyle. Many people use its picture as their profile photo to show their love for it.Capybaras live in South America and they are strong swimmers. Their small eyes, and hairless ears are located high on their heads to keep them alert when most of their body is underwater. Their pig-shaped bodies and short necks are adapted for life in bodies of water found in forests. They have dark brown fur, allowing them to quickly dry when on land.Capybaras are social animals. They are known to build relationships with other animals. They like to stay on their own, but if human or other animals try to get close to them, they will never run away and will communicate with them, even with large and strong animals such as crocodiles and gorillas. Sometimes capybaras become “________” while moving. They take small animals like birds, ducks, and even monkeys for a free ride.They eat plants for a living and they won’t hurt other animals. Capybaras usually eat water plants in the morning and evening, spending the rest of the day bathing in water and resting on the shore. As the largest rodent animal in the world, Capybaras have only a few enemies. Living by water, it is easy for them to hide in the water to stay away from danger. They live such a comfortable life that nothing seems to make them worry.Nowadays, Capybaras are getting popular as friends of humans. More and more peoplearound the world want to raise a capybara as a pet. After all, no one can say no to such a cute and kind friend.14．Mary uses the capybara as her profile photo, the photo may be ________A．B．C．D．15．Which of the following can be put into the ________ in Paragragh 3?A．lonely swimmers B．forest cleaners C．animal busesD．human friends16．Why can capybaras live such a comfortable life?A．It’s easy for them to live in the water.B．They are the largest rodent animals.C．They don’t have many natural enemies.D．They don’t like hurting small animals. 17．What’s the structure of the passage?（P=Paragraph）A．B．C．D．三、多任务混合阅读Not long ago, I was visiting one of the greatest saw factories on the Mississippi River with the manager. As we came to a room, he said, “I want you to watch the boys in the room and I will tell you about them later.”There were some boys at work on saws, with different work. Some were making the teeth of saw wider and some were sharpening them. But only one boy named Jack stood against the wall with nothing to do.After we went out of the room, the manager said, “That room is my sieve. There are some differences in and out of it.” The fine boys go through that sieve to higher places andget higher pay. The lazy boys stay in the sieve or leave the factory.Then he explained what he meant. “If a boy wants to work in the factory, I will give him the job of offering drinking water to the men in all parts of the factory. That is the lowest place with the lowest pay. I say to that boy: When you have nothing to do, go into this room, and then I shall know how to find you when I want you.”“Now, I put the water boy into this room. There are pieces of broken saws lying about, and they can choose to sharpen and make them better.”“I watch that boy. If he begins working on the broken saw, like the other boys at their machines and asking questions about how to do the work, and he makes use of his free time, that boy will get promotion very soon. Then I will get a new water boy.”“But there is another kind of boy. When he has free time, he spends it in doing nothing. He looks out of the window and watches the clock to see how soon he can get away. If he talks to the other boys, it is not to ask questions about the work, but only to spend time. I don’t want such a boy in my factory even as a water boy. Now it’s time to decide in and out of the sieve. I’d like to talk to the water boy Jack.”18．The manager asked the boys to be a water boy at first because ________.A．it was an easy work for a new boy to doB．there was nothing else for a new boy to doC．he wanted to know if they worked hardD．people in the factory needed the water to drink19．The underlined word “promotion” means ________.A．less work to do B．a better place at workC．more work to do D．a worse place at work20．What’s the best title of the passage?A．The great saw factory B．The new water boyC．In and out of the sieve D．Different work in the factory 21．What would the manager tell Jack? Why?（约40词）四、多句选词填空用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，每词限用一次。

But that doesn’t stop the fishermen of Songyuan City in Jilin Province. Each morning, they get up early and rush to Chagan Lake with a group of horses. The fishermen use the horses to help pull fishing nets out of the frozen（结冰的）lake.For centuries, those living around Chagan Lake have kept alive the tradition of ice fishing. They dig holes through the thick ice and use a huge net to catch winter fish in the freezing waters. This special method has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage（非物质文化遗产）.Every year in December, there is a winter fishing festival, which marks the beginning of the winter fishing season. Over 20 activities are held during the festival, such as winter sports competitions, nature watching, and the selling of the first-caught fish.None of the tourists at this year’s festival would ever imagine that Chagan Lake used to be only tens of square kilometers in size. In the past, there was little rainfall and the lake grew smaller over time. Also, overfishing is one of the main reasons.To bring Chagan Lake’s beauty back, the government used a lot of different methods. They brought in water from the Songhua River, grew more plants, and kept the water clean. The lake now covers about 500 square kilometers, and fish numbers have returned to a normal level. Now, an increasing number of tourists flock to the lake each year to experience the ancient ice-fishing tradition.4．What do the fishermen in Songyuan City use horses for?A．Pulling fishing nets.B．Providing warmth in the cold.C．Racing on the frozen lake.D．Digging holes in the ice.5．How do the fishermen catch fish in Chagan Lake?A．They use boats to travel through the frozen lake.B．They set traps under the thick ice to catch fish.C．They use horses to break the ice and catch fish.D．They dig holes in the ice and use a net to catch fish.6．What did the government do to make Chagan Lake beautiful again?A．The government kept the water in Songhua River clean.B．The government created a winter fishing tourist festival.C．The government planted vegetables around Chagan Lake.D．The government brought in water from Songhua River.7．What does the underlined word “flock” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Cover the lake with something.B．Return in a good condition.C．Move in large numbers.D．Travel for a long time.That night, July 11, 2022, Nick Bostic was driving down the streets of Lafayette, Indiana, when he found a two-story house was on fire.Flames（火焰）were climbing up the front porch. Without pausing for a moment to think about the danger, Bostic stopped his car and ran from the back door into the burning building, which belongs to the Barrett family.Bostic had just started climbing the stairs when he looked up and saw four faces appear from a room at the top of the stairs and look down at him, their eyes wide. “Your house is on fire. You need to go!” Bostic yelled.Bostic hurried the four girls into the fresh air. “Anybody else in there?” Bostic asked.“Kaylani is in there! We can’t find her!” Seionna, the eldest of the girls, screamed referring to her six-year-old sister. Without hesitating（犹豫）, Bostic ran back inside.By now, the whole side of the house was in flames. Bostic went upstairs. He searched every bedroom. No kid. The smoke was thick now. He lifted his T-shirt, trying to cover hismouth and nose when he heard the sound of crying, from the dark smoke below.Bostic felt about in the blackness and heat, moving downstairs toward the sound.

It is a way of thinking that helps you to avoid drawing incorrect conclusions.There are usually four steps in the scientific method, including observation (观察), hypothesis (假设), experiment, and conclusion. The steps may not always be completed in the same order, but the first step is usually observation and asking a question about your observation. For example, you had a sick stomach, and ate a candy bar. An hour later, you observed that you felt much better. Here, you can ask a question, such as, “What makes a sick stomach feel better?”The second step is to state a possible answer to the question, or a hypothesis, such as “A candy bar makes a sick stomach feel better” . A good hypothesis includes three things: The explanation for the observations, it is able to be tested, and it will usually predict new outcomes or conclusions.The third step is the experiment, to test the hypothesis. An experiment is a test which will either challenge or support the hypothesis. The hypothesis will then be true or false.The final step is to think about what happened when you tested the hypothesis and draw a conclusion. The conclusion will either clearly support the hypothesis or it will not. If the results support the hypothesis, a conclusion can be written and you can share it with the rest of the world. If it does not support the hypothesis, you may choose to change the hypothesis or write a new one based on what was learned during the experiment.12．What are the usual steps in the scientific method?A．Observation, hypothesis, experiment and prediction.B．Hypothesis, experiment, conclusion and observation.C．Experiment, conclusion, observation and hypothesis.D．Observation, hypothesis, experiment and conclusion.13．What is an example of a hypothesis?A．“I think candy bars are delicious.”B．“A candy bar makes a sick stomach feel better.”C．“Observing candy bars makes me happy.”D．“Candy bars are a popular treat.”14．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to(指的是)?A．The question B．The hypothesisC．The conclusion D．The observation15．What is the main idea of the text?A．The importance of conducting difficult experiments.B．The steps and importance of the scientific method.C．The challenges of forming a good hypothesis.D．The role of candy bars in scientific experiments.二、多任务混合阅读阅读下面材料，从所给的A—E五个选项中选择正确的选项（其中一项是多余选项．．．．．．．．．），将其序号填入1-4题，并回答第5题。
