浙江省天台县坦头中学2018-2019学年八年级下学期英语第一次学情检测试卷(含听力音频)

阅读理解

    My grandfather had a small farm. He also worked in a factory.

    One autumn, he promised to help his neighbor harvest(收获) his corn. But after harvesting his own corn, Grandpa's little machine broke down. At the same time, the factory where Grandpa worked began to require overtime(加班). He had to leave the farm early in the morning and didn't get home until after sunset. It now seemed impossible to help out his neighbor.

    One night, Grandpa decided that he wouldn't let his neighbor's harvest rot(腐烂) in the field. Without a machine, he would harvest it by hand.

    "When do you think you'll have time to do it?" asked my grandma. "Besides, it'd be too dark." "There's still one more full moon in October. If the weather is clear, I think I can do it," he said.

    And so a few days later, after lots of busy work at the factory, my grandpa made his way to the field. The weather was cold but clear, and the moon was glowing(发光). He worked through the night to keep his word.

    Sometimes, when I want to put off responsibilities(责任), I'd see my grandfather cutting corn in the light of the harvest moon.

(1)、The writer's grandpa found it hard to help with his neighbor's harvest because ________.

①he was too tired to work

②he had so much work in the factory

③his machine for picking corn didn't work

④the weather was not clear enough

A、①② B、②③ C、③④ D、①④
(2)、The writer's grandpa helped his neighbor harvest the field ________.
A、after sunset B、early in the morning C、with a full moon D、on a dark night
(3)、From the story, we know that Grandpa is ________.
A、honest and helpful B、lazy and silly C、busy and crazy D、independent and clever
(4)、What can we learn from the story?
A、A friend is easier lost than found. B、Actions speak louder than words. C、Helping others is helping yourself. D、A man should keep his word.
举一反三
One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view (观察) of the art works.
A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted non-stop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided the wife was doing all the talk. I admired the husband's patience for putting up with her continuous talk. Distracted by their noise, I moved on.
I met with them several times as I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant burst of words, I moved away quickly.
I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a purchase when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He extended it into a long stick and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wife's jacket.
“He's a brave man.” The clerk at the counter said, “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery he made a promise that his life wouldn't change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there's a new art show.”
“But what does he get out of the art?” I asked, “He can't see.”
“Can't see? You're wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do.” The clerk said, “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”
I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away hand in hand.

    "Colour, colour, colour!" are the words of the artist Eric Carle. Eric is like the king in the world of children's books. He has written over 70 children's books. His most famous book. The Very HungryCaterpillar, is common on children's bookshelves all over the world. What most people don't know is that Eric also makes art for adults, which is called "ArtArt". People didn't know about it, because he didn't show it to the public until he was 84 years old!

    Like Eric's children's books, his "ArtArt" is full of bright and clear colour. He says that he loves colour so much because he missed it during the war in Germany. Eric was born in New York in 1929, but moved to Germany with his family when he was 6. When he was 10, World War Ⅱ began. He noticed that all the houses and buildings in his town were painted grey, brown or dark green. It was a sad time, and it seemed like there was no colour anywhere.

    At the end of the war, "when colour came back", Eric explains, "I just loved it so much. I keep saying that I wish our eyes could see more colour. Colour is a very important part of my work."

    That's true. Eric paints bright colours on Paper, cuts out shapes, and then glues them onto another piece of paper. This method is called collage (拼贴画). In fact, it is what led Eric to his "ArtArt".

    Eric's "ArtArt" includes large collages as well as paintings, photographs and even costumes. In all these works, he uses all kinds of colours—everything from purple to light green to orange. Now that's a lot of colour!

Aunt Ann is a police officer. After breakfast, Ann puts on her badge (微章) and goes to work. Ann and her partner, Jim, are on duty today. At the police station, the sergeant (巡佐) talks to them. "Last night, a bear ran away from the zoo!" he says. "Be careful!"

They pick up the keys to their patrol car (巡逻车) and drive around the west side. At the corer of Main and State, there is a traffic jam because the traffic light is broken. Ann stops her car and tells the drivers when to stop and when to go. Jim calls the station about the broken traffic light on Main and State. Soon, the station calls Traffic Repair.

In the afternoon, they walk down Elm Street. Everything looks quiet. Suddenly, Ann sees a little boy crying. The boy's name is Adam. He gets off the bus at the wrong bus stop. Ann shows him her badge so he knows she is a police officer. "Where do you live?" Ann asks. Adam does not remember, but he brings his ID card with him. He opens his backpack and shows Ann the address on the card. Jim calls the station and the station calls Adam's house. Ann and Jim drive Adam home.

A moment later, a call comes in from the station. "Check out the strange noise at 203 Cedar Drive!" Ann and Jim are on the way. At 203 Cedar Drive, the rubbish bin is turned over, Ann looks in the bin. It is the bear that ran away from the zoo. Ann closes the bin quickly and asks Jim to call the zoo. Two zoo keepers arrive to pick up the bear. Soon everyone is safe and so is the bear.
    Ann and Jim go back to the station. After work, they hand in their keys and write their police report.
