山东省滨州市集团校2019-2020学年八年级上学期英语期中测试卷（含听力材料）
Last year I went to Australia to study and travel. I stayed in Sydney for two weeks. I visited places of interest in the morning and took English lessons in the afternoon. A friend and I stayed with a family from Sydney. The homestay parents and brothers were very friendly to us. We talked about a lot of things with each other in English.
My spoken English improved (提高) greatly in Australia. I used to speak very little English in China. But in Australia, I had to use it very often. I was soon able to talk with my teachers and homestay family freely.
To me, the best place in Australia is the Sydney Opera House. You can look at it from different sides. I think it is one of the most wonderful buildings in the world. I cannot sing very well, when I was inside, I really wanted to sing.
Time flew when I was in Sydney. Soon came Christmas, then the New Year. I had never spent the New Year without my family. But this year, I was so far away from them. I felt a little homesick. I missed them so much, and l knew they missed me so much, too. In the evening, I phoned my family. When I heard their voices, I began to cry. My homestay mother held me in her arms and comforted me.
| I am worried about my teeth. My front teeth are so big that they almost look like buckteeth(龅牙). When I take photos,I never laugh. I am also afraid my classmates will laugh at me. If I had smaller teeth like other people, I would be very happy. ( Mari, Lima, Peru) |
| I want to change my pessimistic attitude(悲观的态度) to life. Sometimes, things are not that bad, but I take everything too seriously. Once, I thought I didn't do well in an exam. I became very sad. But when I saw the result, it was not as bad as I thought. I worried about it too much. I think I shouldn't be so pessimistic. ( Troy, London, UK) |
| I want to change my bad temper(脾气). I often get angry and hurt the people I love. Every time my mother cares about me, I think she talks too much. Sometimes, I even argue with her. But I know ▲ . I shouldn't do that. I will try to change my temper. ( Jake, Ottawa, Canada) |
| I often dream about having long legs. They would make me look more beautiful, and help me run faster. I like running and always join the running races at school. But other runners always pass me during the big race. I try my best, but it doesn't work because of my short legs. So I want to have longer legs. ( Nancy, Sydney, Australia) |
