浙江省湖州市吴兴区2023-2024学年八年级上学期英语期末试题

 阅读下面短文,从所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。

I have been a writer for the school newspaper the Dagligtale, since my first day here at the University of Alberta. I probably won't work as a reporter after I finish university, but this doesn't mean my experience as a reporter has been useless. In fact, I have learned something important through this job.

I still remember my first news story. It was about the winning of the school baseball team. I came to the celebration and was told to do some interviews (采访). I was afraid. Talking to people I don't know was one of my worries. But I tried my best and did it. I talked to the students, the players and the team leader. It was something I had never dreamed of doing before. This experience made me believe in myself and helped me to improve my social skills (社交技能).

As a student reporter, I have learned to do research and to think carefully about what I read. Finding out the facts is important when you are writing for the school newspaper, but in the Information Age, this is also a useful skill in everyday life.

As a student reporter, I always know that I have a lot to learn. I'm never afraid of asking people for advice. I have learned how to use it to make improvements to myself.

To be a reporter is not easy, but I'm thankful that I have had the chance (机会) to try my hand at it. It has taught me to be a better storyteller, student and citizen. If you are ever given a chance to write for a school newspaper or magazine, take it and learn everything you can!

(1)、According to the passage, after the writer finishes university, she will probably ____.
A、stop working as a reporter B、work as a full-time reporter C、keep writing for the Dagligtale       D、tell more people about the Dagligtale
(2)、We can learn from the passage that the writer was ____ before.
A、popular B、lazy C、unhappy D、shy
(3)、What is the writer's attitude (态度) towards people's advice now? 
A、She often feels very sad about it. B、She usually doesn't care about it. C、She listens to it and uses it to improve herself. D、She thinks about it and takes the piece she likes.
(4)、By writing this passage, the writer mainly wants to ____.
A、share how difficult it is to be a good reporter B、ask students to take the chances to learn things C、thank the person who let her join the Dagligtale D、talk about her experience of interviewing strangers
举一反三

请阅读下面材料, 从每小题所给的A、B、C 三个选项中, 选出一个最佳选项。

It's well-known that silk was discovered in China. It's wonderfully strong, light and soft. As one of the best materials for clothes, silk has a perfect look and feel that no other materials can match. 

There is a story about how silk was discovered. Lei Zu, the wife of Huang Di, was having tea under a mulberry tree when a silkworm cocoon(蚕茧)fell into her cup. As she tried to take the cocoon out, it started to unwind(展开)and the "line" seemed endless. She realized that the strong line could be used to make clothes. Then Lei Zu taught her people how to raise silkworms and how to get silk In this way, the silk industry was born. 

For hundreds of years after that, silk was only used by rich people. It was a symbol of identity and status(身份和地位). With the development of the silk industry, more silk was produced. It was no longer just for rich people. In the Han Dynasty, silk was transported as far away as Spain, Rome and many other counties. The trade road was famously known as the Silk Road, which connected China with the rest of the world

Today, silk can be used for many kinds of things, not just for clothes, bus also for paintings, writing brushes, kites and even fishing nets. Wherever silk goes around the world, it is always warmly received.
