辽宁省朝阳市建平县2018-2019学年八年级下学期英语期末考试试卷

阅读理解

    If you look at the top of your phone, you'll usually see a lite symbol that says 3G or 4G. The "G" is the generation(代)" of your mobile network (移动网络). But these symbols will become things of the past after 5G networks fully arrive.

    On March 30, 2019, Shanghai vice mayor (副市长) Wu Qing made the first SG video call on a Huawei Mate x smartphone, CGTN reported. Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks.

    About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will let people download (下载) and upload data (数据) faster than ever before. But 5G won't just bring faster mobile internet. People can use it for many other things as well.

    For example, 5G will help to make self-driving cars safer. Today's self-driving test cars have one problem-lag (延迟). When the car "sees" an obstacle (障碍物), it sends this information to a data center and receives instructions (指令).

    However, it takes time to send and receive this information. With this kind of lag, the cars might hit each other because they don't receive instructions in time. With 5G, this lag will be greatly lowered (降低), making the cars safer, according to CNN. 5G could also be used to help the internet of things (IoT,物联网). IoT is a large online network that connects all things and people. Fast internet speed will be the key to developing this technology. The IoT could be used in a lot of ways. For example, with IoT, your refrigerator could automatically (自动地) place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left inside.

(1)、In which city was 5G tested for the first time?
A、Beijing B、Shanghai C、Shenzhen D、Guangdong
(2)、Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a _____ smartphone.
A、Apple B、Huawei C、Vivo D、SAMSUNG
(3)、We can infer from the story that ______.
A、5G is all over China B、there are no symbols at the top of our phones C、we can now buy self-driving cars D、5G networks are much faster than 4G or 3G.
(4)、The writer uses self- driving cars as an example to ______.
A、explain how self-driving cars work B、show us how self-driving cars are C、warn (警告) about the possible dangers of self-driving cars D、explain how 5G's fast speed can be helpful.
(5)、According to the story, the IoT is ______.
A、a robot that can do housework. B、an online store where you can buy anything C、a large online network that connects things and people D、a type of high-tech refrigerator

Genevieve Moss has serious hearing loss. Her world has always been silent. Alone in a town in England, she often felt lonely.

Then one day in April in 2021, something stopped Moss as she read the local newspaper. It was a photo of a tiny black-and-white cat. A family was looking for a home for their last newborn cat. Moss fell in love with it at first sight and contacted the family. Soon, the cat came to Moss's house. Moss called the cat Zebby because his colors looked like those of a zebra.

Moss once heard of studies showing that pets can help people deal with loneliness. However, she had no idea that Zebby would become her helper and her ears. From their first night together, Zebby has slept next to her. When he hears noises in the dark, he jumps up. "He became my night watch cat," Moss said. "Sometimes he would run around the room until I woke up."

After several weeks, Moss noticed that whenever her phone rang or someone knocked at the door, Zebby would touch her lightly. It wasn't long before the cat took on another task: collecting Moss's mail. Now whenever he hears the mailbox being opened, he runs towards it, carries the mail in his mouth and drops it at Moss's feet.

This past May Zebby was named Britain's National Cat of the Year by Cats Protection. According to the largest cat charity, Zebby beat out about 3,000 other cats because of the many ways he makes Moss's life easier. He has had no training at all, but his natural abilities seem to have told him that his owner needs his help.

"Zebby has made my house a home," Moss said. "I can hardly imagine not having Zebby in my life now."

 请阅读下面短文, 根据所提供的信息, 回答5个问题, 要求所写答案语法正确, 语义完整切题。

I'm Mary. I've decided to improve my German in the new term. Perhaps some of my advice can help you with your own language learning.

Speak more

 On my way to work or in the supermarket,I try to describe my surroundings(环境) in my head or out loud to remind myself of vocabulary and useful phrases.

Join social groups

 Last term I joined a rock band and learned lots of new vocabulary about music. This term I will join a badminton club and a German conversation group to give myself more chances to practice speaking with people who have common interests.

Change the language settings(设置) on my mobile phone

 To encourage myself to think in German, I changed my mobile phone into German. Every time I send an e-mail, I discover new words.

Watch more films

 It's a good idea to watch familiar (熟悉的) films dubbed (配音) into German. All the voices are strange, but as I already know the story, I can follow what the characters are saying. I don't have to worry about missing anything.

Laugh at myself

I've learned from my first term that I'm very good at making mistakes. There was a time when I went shopping for a scarf and kept using the German word for"sheep". This term, instead of feeling stupid, I will laugh at my silly mistakes and try again.

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项 (A 、B 、C 、和 D) 中,选出最佳选项。

Walter Orthmann, a 100-year-old man from Brazil, has been working for 84 years at the same company. He broke the Guinness World Record for the longest career at the same company. 

Walter was born in 1922, in a small Brazilian town As the oldest son of five, his mother took him to find a job. He started working at the age of 15 to help his family with financial problems. He got his first job as an assistant. With amazing working skills, he became a successful sales manager at the age of 20. 

In the 1950s, Walter often went on business. He built solid relationships with his customers. His talents and abilities won their trust and support. Some of the customers even became Walter's long life friends. 

In 2022, he tumed 100, but he didn't plan to retire from the only company he had ever worked for. He celebrated his hundredth birthday in the company with his coworkers, friends and family, holding an unforgettable party, 

"When we do what we like, we don't see the time go by!"said Walter Orthmann. "I don't do much planning, nor care much about tomorrow. All I care about is that tomorrow will be another day in which I will wake up, get up, exercise, and go to work. "He suggested people should get busy with the present, not the past or the future. This is what drives him to make history!

In February, 2022, Walter Orthmann was officially recorded in the Guinness Book of Records. Looking back on his life so far, Walter described this record as his"proudest achievement",
