牛津版(深圳•广州)2017-2018学年初中英语八年级下册期末综合能力检测题(音频暂未更新)

阅读下列短文,从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

    In recent history, there have been some amazing inventions which have changed our lives. The plane has made international travel faster and easier. The Internet has brought people closer. And you must know the names of some famous inventors like Henry Ford or Steve Jobs. But there are many everyday objects which you probably don't notice and you don't know who invented them. Take for example Nils Bohlin who invented the modem-day car seat belt (安全带).

    Before 1959, only two-point seat belts were available, and the only people who often wore them were race car drivers. The two-point seat belt couldn't protect passengers from internal injuries (内伤) during serious car accidents.

    In 1958, Bohlin joined Volvo Car Corporation as a safety engineer. Then he came up with the three-point seat belt to keep passengers from flying out of their cars during collisions. The three-point seat belt used one strap (带子) across the chest (胸部) and another across the legs and then the two joined at me same place.

    Amazingly, this was a very simple idea which no one had tried before. The three-point seat belt was introduced on Volvo cars in 1959. For more people's safety, Volvo made the new seat belt design available to other car makers for free. Since then, engineers have worked to improve the three-point seat belt, but the basic design remains Bohlin's.

    At the time of Bohlin's death in September 2002, Volvo announced that the seat belt had saved more than one million lives since it was introduced.

(1)、The writer develops his ideas in Paragraph 1 by _______.
A、telling a joke B、giving some examples C、asking some fun questions D、describing a personal experience
(2)、What does the underlined word "collisions" in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese?
A、修理 B、清洗 C、制造 D、碰撞
(3)、Bohlin invented the three-point seat belt _______.
A、in the early 1950s B、to get a job at Volvo C、while working at Volvo D、after having a car accident
(4)、What does the passage mainly talk about?
A、Car safety. B、A great car company. C、A life-saving invention. D、Different kinds of seat belts.

A new way of travelling will appear in the next few years — flying taxis. Many of us grow up watching sci-fi movies with taxis flying in the air. Science stories are now becoming science facts.

The Japanese airline ANA has teamed up with a U.S. business called Joby Aviation. The two plan to start using flying taxis at the 2025 World Expo in Osaka. They are now working together on making the flying taxis. They need to work out what traffic rules the taxis will need to follow, and what kind of training flying taxi drivers will need. The five-seat, all-electric taxi will be able to take off and land directly. It can fly up to 241 kilometers and can reach 321 kilometers per hour.

Joby Aviation's CEO said that the taxis would be good for the environment because they will help decrease (减少)people's carbon footprint (碳足迹). Now it takes over one hour by car to get from Osaka Station to Kansai International Airport. But in the future, it will only take 14 minutes in a flying taxi.

"Japan badly needs flying taxis with most people living in urban areas, and Tokyo is one of the most crowded cities in the world," Joby Aviation's CEO said. The chairman of ANA said, "Being able to provide customers with the chance to travel quickly and safely is very wonderful."

根据短文内容,从框内6个选项中选出能分别填入5个小题空白处的最佳选项。

Many people weigh more than they want to. They eat too much or do not exercise enough. They choose unhealthy food, or snacks too often. Weight gain (增加) happens when people eat more food than their bodies use. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Dieting (节食) means taking in less food. 

It has been shown that writing down everything you eat and drink—as soon as possible—helps you to lose weight. Writing down what you eat is called keeping a"food diary". 

If you write down everything you eat and drink in a day, you might be surprised! It is easy to forget the food you eat while you are reading, working or watching TV. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}Each snack might seem small, but they add up. 

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

Food diary: 16 June

★Breakfast: I egg, 2 pieces of bread with butter, green tea

★Mid-morning: 2 biscuits, coffee with milk and sugar

★Lunch: 3 pieces of pizza, I soft drink, I apple

★Mid-afternoon: I banana

★Dinner: noodles with vegetables

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}Without the diary, you might forget about the biscuits with your coffee, the soft drink at lunch, or the mid-afternoon banana. You might forget having extra pieces of pizza! 

Keeping a food diary will also make you aware (意识到) if you are not eating enough different kinds of foods. It will show if you are not eating enough vegetables or fruit, or if you are drinking too many sweet drinks. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}They can help you write down what you eat and you will lose weight faster. 

A. That is why people try to diet. 

B. A food diary will help us lose weight fast. 

C. Here is an example of a simple food diary. 

D. A food diary will remind you of how much you eat. 

E. It is easy to forget if your drinks have sugar in them. 

F. So next time you go on a diet, use a pen and a notebook. 

 阅读下列短文,从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选 项中选出最佳选项。

Many students do an IQ test in their school. Even if they never see their results, they feel that their  IQ is what determines how well they are going to do in life. When they see other students doing better than them, they usually believe that those students have a higher IQ and that they can't change this fact. However, new research suggests that success is not simply the result of a high IQ.

While your IQ tells you how intelligent you are, your EQ tells you how well you use your intelligence. Professor Salovey says that when predicting someone's future success, their EQ might actually matter more than their IQ. For example, you may wonder why some of the smartest students in your class sometimes fail exams. Perhaps their failure is because of their low EQ.

It is believed that people with high EQs are open to new idea s and have positive altitudes(态度) towards life. They are seldom troubled by problems. As for people with low EQs, they often have trouble getting on with others and dealing with difficult situations. As a result, they have a harder time surviving in life.

The good news is that EQ has a lot to do with education. Compared with IQ that seems to be fixed(固定的) the moment you were born, EQ could be improved with right methods. For example, learning more skills in communication and understanding can be helpful.

To live a happy successful life, you need a high EQ— the higher, the better.
