福建省宁德市2019-2020学年八年级下学期英语期末考试试卷

阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,从每小题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳答案。

    On Feb. 26th, 2020, when an Italian went to work with a mask to prevent COVID-19, his workmates thought he was "causing panic(恐慌)". You might wonder why the East and the West have different ideas about wearing masks.

In the West, people wear masks only when they get sick. People see masks as a tool(工具) to protect sick people and prevent the disease from spreading, so healthy people don't need to wear masks. Wearing masks in public easily makes them feel "worried" and "shy". They are "afraid of being looked at differently."

However, it's common in Asia. During the 2003 SARS epidemic, masks were widely used in China and East Asia. Many Chinese also like to wear masks to stay warm in winter or protect against air pollution.

In Japan, wearing masks shows your politeness when you get a cold or the flu. Some masks even have different colors and drawings. Young women may wear masks when they don't have their makeup on. Many pop stars in Asia also use masks to protect their privacy(隐私). This makes people in the East wear masks more often when epidemics break out(爆发).

But as the number of COVID-19 cases keeps on growing around the world, people in the West are changing. Many healthy people are starting to wear masks now to protect themselves.

(1)、If people in the West are _____, they may wear masks.
A、worried B、unhealthy C、afraid D、shy
(2)、What does the underlined word "them" refer to in Paragraph 2?
A、Japanese people B、Chinese people C、western people D、eastern people
(3)、Which of the followings is TRUE about the usage(用途) of masks in Japan?
A、To keep warm in cold winter days. B、To be looked differently from others. C、To stay away from terrible air pollution. D、To show politeness when people get the flu.
(4)、Why are more and more western people starting to wear masks?
A、Because they catch a cold easily. B、Because they don't want to cause panic. C、Because they don't have their makeup on. D、Because they know it's a good way to make themselves safe.
(5)、What's the best title for this passage?
A、What does the mask mean? B、Don't be afraid of the illness. C、Let's fight against COVID-19. D、How can people protect their privacy?

ChatGPT, a smart AI chatbot (聊天机器人) tool, has swept the education world in the past months. According to a US survey of more than 1,000 students, over 89 percent of them have used ChatGPT to help with their homework.

Some schools in the US, Australia and France have banned (禁止) the use of ChatGPT. In the US, for example, New York City public schools banned students and teachers from using ChatGPT on the district's networks.

The move comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat on homework. Some also worry that ChatGPT could be used to spread incorrect information.

Besides bans, teachers are making changes to their classes to avoid the use of ChatGPT. Some college teachers in the US try to include more speaking exams and handwritten papers instead of typed ones.

However, not all educators say "no" to ChatGPT. Some Canadian universities are making laws on its use, for both students and teachers. They have no plans to completely ban the tool so far.

Bhaskar Vira from the University of Cambridge, said that bans on AI software like ChatGPT are not sensible (明智的). "We have to know that AI is a tool people will use. What we need to do is ‘adapt our learning, teaching and examinations'. That way, we can be honest while using of the tool".

Li Ming

(a boy student)

I enjoy reading. For me, reading is the best way to encourage myself. I spend as much time as I can reading, for about one hour every day. I love novels best. How the Steel(钢铁)Was Tempered is one of my favourites. When I am facing difficulties, Pavel Korchagin's story always encourages me to be brave and never to give up.

  

Zhang Hong

(a teacher)

After a hard day's work, a piece of music, a cup of coffee and a book may make me feel comfortable and relaxed. I recommend(推荐)the four great classical Chinese novels to all the students, for we can enjoy the beauty of different language styles, as well as traditional Chinese culture. But it's a pity I have two hours at most to read every week.

    

Wang Hua

(an officer)

Books are my helpful friends. When I am in trouble, a good book is always the best friend I go to. I keep the habit of reading for nearly four hours every week. Books tell me how to step forward. Shih Chi(史记)or Thirty-six Stratagems(计谋)can not only improve my working ability but also fill my life.

 完形填空。

Most of us have three meals a day. We take food for granted (想当然) and we don't think about it. 1 experts argue a food crisis (危机) is coming. This crisis is going to make us 2 the way we think about food. 

Food is 3 great need because of the growing world population. By 1960, the population was about three billion. It doubled to about six billion by 1999. By 2050, this planet will need to 4 at least nine billion people. As a result, the food prices get higher and higher. 

So, what can a 5 and crowded world do? One suggestion is to eat  6 meat. Meat uses more natural resources than grains (谷物). It requires more  7 to produce one pound of meat than to produce one pound of grain. It also requires between 5 and 10 times more  8 than vegetables. So, eating less meat will provide (提供) more land for farming, and it will 9 water.

To eat less meat, people will need to change their eating habits. That will not be 10 . Americans, for example, have always loved meat. In general, they eat twice as much meat as people in other 11 . At the same time, in developing countries like China and Brazil, sales of meat have doubled in the last 20 years.12 will double again by 2050. The growing need for meat will  13 putting pressure on natural resources. 

The world population is increasing, resources are becoming fewer, and food prices are rising. Therefore, we need to rethink 14 we eat every day. For meat lovers, they don't need to give up meat 15 . But they need to eat more grains and less meat.
