浙江省金华市2022-2023学年八年级下学期期中英语试题

根据短文内容,完成下面的表格。每空一词。

Until the beginning of July, there has been no rain in northern Italy for over 100 days. Add to that the high temperatures, and the locals get very dry conditions. This is the most serious dry spell(干旱期)for that area in the past 70 years. Because of this situation, the country's longest river, the Po, is drying up!

This is bad news for several different reasons. The fresh water of the Po provides drinking water for northern Italy. Besides, farmers in this area need the water of the Po to keep their crops growing. What's more, the flowing river water is used to create about half of the hydroelectric power(水力发电)for Italy. Its drying up means that more natural gas(天然气) will be used, which is bad for the environment.

There have been some interesting discoveries from this lack of rain, however. Between Florence and Milan, a long ship sunk (沉没)in 1943 appeared because of the low water levels of the river. Now many tourists and locals come to see this ship. A German tank has also appeared out of water near Mantua. At other places along the river, people can even walk on the sandy river bed. Although this may be interesting, people in Italy and around the world are hoping for the return of rain to refill the Po!

Did you ever think about what life would be like in the future? You may get some idea from movies or the internet. The age of new technology* is coming to us. They are changing our way of life and making our life much easier and more interesting. 

Robots can become cheerleaders*,too!

People often see cheerleaders in their everyday life. It's nothing new. But a Japanese company has made some cheerleading robots. On Dec 26, 2022, these robots were dancing for a two-day show at the company in Tokyo. At 36 cm tall, they stay on black balls to dance. The sensors* help them do this. More than that, they help the robots know where to go as well. 

Feel free to change your car's color

Do you believe that one day, people can change the color of their cars? It's not a dream anymore! Think about this, you spend much money on a car but you can only have one color for it. Now with the BMW iX Flow, you can change the car's color! It uses E-Ink technology. Just a button*on an app can change its color. All you need is a mobile phone. Isn't it amazing? How much is it? We don't know yet. 

Sleep with a smart bed

We all want good sleep at night. The Sleep Number 360 Smart Bed can be a good helper. You can choose how soft you want it to be. There is an app for it. The app gives information about your sleep and it also tells you how to sleep better. It costs from 999 to 5, 099 dollars. 

Is that all? Of course not! Scientists are always working on new technologies, the world will be very different in the near future. Just wait and see!

 根据短文,在空白处填入一个恰当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式,每空一词。

We each have a memory. That's why we can remember things for a long time. Some people have a very good memory and they can {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (easy)learn many things by heart. But others can only remember {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(thing)when they say or do them again and again. 

A good memory. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(help)one learn a language well. Everybody learns his own language when he is {#blank#}4{#/blank#}small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them, and then he learns to speak. For example, some children are living {#blank#}5{#/blank#} their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages easily because they hear, remember and speak the two languages every day. 

As for those children who live in {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (they)home country, they have po chance(机会)to learn any two or more languages easily. They are not {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (live)in a foreign language environment In school it is not easy. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (earning)a foreign language as well That's {#blank#}9{#/blank#}the students have little time for it and they have to lean a large number of other subjects, too. 

Our memory can get {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (good)if we do more exercises. Do you want to learn a foreign language well? If so, you must do a lot of listening and speaking.

A group of US high school students has changed an empty lot(一块空地) into a place of hope. The students go to Buchtel High School in Akron, Ohio. The empty lot was full of grass in the past. They wanted it to become a space that could be better for the mental(心理的) health of people living nearby. 

 After weeks of hard working, now the lot is a different place. There is a wood walkway leading to a purple bench(长椅). A few beautiful plants are already in the ground. There is also a hopscotch(跳房子游戏) board painted bright blue. On a back fence, you can see a wall painting with words like"Love" and"Peace" and the students' handprints on it. 

 The students painted the bench purple because it is a relaxing color. They think kids can go there to sit together, make friends and stay out of difficulties. 

 The hopscotch board was for a group of eight to ten school-age kids who live nearby. The students heard nowhere to play. 

"The lot gives the people nearby a little hope and a little beauty, " said Lyle Jenkins, a member of the Neighborhood Network. "A lot of people love the place and have great hopes for things getting better. "
