山东省泰安市岱岳区(五四制)2019-2020学年八年级下学期英语期末考试试题(含听力音频)

阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。

    When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it's so-and-so's mistake. "or "I know I'm late, but it's not my fault; the car broke down. It is probably not your mistake, but once you form the habit of blaming(指责)somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy(补致)the situation. This is the winner's key to Success.

    Winners are great at solving problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly (按部就班地). Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague(同事)causes you problems on the job for being short of responsibility (责任) or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather an just blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don't depend on the person. You should accept that the person is not dependable and find creative ways to work successfully. This is what being a winner is all about -creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens.

    Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and chances to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on "whose mistake it is. "Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.

(1)、What does the underlined word "loser" probably mean?
A、失主 B、受害者 C、肇事者 D、失败者
(2)、When your colleague brings about a problem, you should
A、blame him for his being short of responsibility B、tell him to find the cause of the problem C、find a better way to deal with the problem D、ask a more able colleague for help
(3)、What can be the best title for the passage?
A、A Winner's Chance. B、A Winner's Secret. C、A Winner's Problem. D、A Winner's Progress.

When Tim Carter finished high school, he started to deliver(送) pizzas. But soon he found that he didn't want to do it for the rest of his life. He thought about he saw his uncle welding(焊接) the parts of his car and was really interested in it. So he took a night class at a local school to see if welding was a job that he was going to stick to(坚持).

After studying for some time, he found it was. Tim learned more about welding there and then he wanted to learn everything about it. He decided to make welding his career(职业). But one night class wouldn't be enough. Tim went to a welding school for real practice. He was quite sure he would stick to the job.

For the past 18 years, Tim has been a skillful welder. He now works for the EEW Group. It is a welding company and also helps to give away most of the profits(收益) to environmental programs. A day for Tim includes a number of tasks and skills. "There are a lot to deal with(处理)," he told Time for Kids. "It's not just welding."

Tim's favorite part of being a welder is "making an honest living". He also feels fantastic about helping the environment. "I'm glad to stick to what I really want to do." he says. "I'm working for a company. The company is helping the country to go green, and it's meaningful for me to be a part of that."

 A. Choose the best answer

Alfred and Mary Walker and their son, Robert, live in England. They are visiting Hong Kong on Holiday. They will send postcards home. Now read what they are writing. 

Dear Richard, 

We arrived in Hong Kong three days ago. We are having a wonderful time, but every day is very busy. We get up early and go the bed late. It's rather tiring. 

Yesterday we took a bus to the Park. It was a very clear day. From the top, we saw the whole of Hong Kong. We took lots of photos. Some of them will be really good. I will buy a video camera for you because I know you want one. I'll get it tomorrow because we are going shopping. 

Your brother, 

Alfred

Dear Mum and Dad. 

We are having a lovely time in Hong Kong. Two days ago, we went to a place called Ocean Park. We saw lots of sharks and dolphins there. Robert enjoyed it very much. Today we are going to Lantau Island. We will see the huge statue of Buddha there. Tomorrow we are going shopping on Hong Kong Island. 

Hong Kong is very different to our hometown in England. The streets are more crowded and there is more traffic on the roads. It is noisier than at home as well, and everything is more expensive here!

See you soon. 

Lots of love, 

Mary

Hi Dan!

Hong Kong is a great city! There is so much to see and do here. We went to a great place called Ocean Park. I saw lots of tropical fish and some sharks. I also went on a roller—coaster and a cable car. 

I loved the roller—coaster and I went on it four times! Mum and Dad thought I was lost, but then they saw me at the top of the roller—coaster. 

Tomorrow will be a shopping day, the worst part of the holiday!

See you soon!

Your friend, 

Robert
