八、阅读回答问题
Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）
Almost every woman likes going shopping. Personally speaking, I enjoy shopping in the U.K., even if it’s just window shopping. The sales service is the key reason why I like shopping in the U.K. much more than shopping in China.
Every brand has its own official website where customers can see products and order directly online, so the products can be sent home directly. As for those who enjoy shopping in real stores, shopping experiences are rather free and open. Different from that in China, most stores do not provide personal shop assistants unless you ask one of the staff about a specific question. It is never necessary to tell them to leave you alone. Although sometimes, store staff help customers to fetch shoes or clothes of a specific size or color, they never exaggerate(夸大)their opinions on it, as their task is to provide service but not to provide comments.
Besides, each brand has a refund policy(退款政策). The policy may be different from one another, but a cooling-off period of 14 to 28 days is provided for customers to think twice about whether they really want the products they bought. Within the cooling-off period, customers can easily get full refund or exchange if they can provide a valid receipt(有效发票)and unused products with all the tags. It encourages customers to buy products more often and increases sales. As for customers, it is also good, for people can have a chance to get back their money which was spent on unwanted clothes.
The U.K. is a modern country with traditions. While it says yes to the fast pace of modern fashion industry, it also provides 80 for its tourists and customer. It fully deserves the title of “Shopping Paradise”.
56．What is the most important reason why the writer likes shopping in the U.K.
________________________________________________
57．In the writer’s opinion, why are shopping experiences free and open in the U.K.
________________________________________________
58．What does the underlined word “them” refer to
It refers to ______________________________.
59．Do store staff usually help customers fetch things or give comments in the U.K.
________________________________________________
60．How can customers get a full refund or exchange
________________________________________________
61．What can be filled in the blank in the last paragraph
It also provides ___________________ for its tourists and customers.
九、书信作文
62．假如你是Tom, 进入八年级以后, 你的生活发生了很大的变化。请用英语你给你的朋友Jim写一封信。
提示：
1、比以前更高了, 锻炼更多, 吃更少垃圾食品
2、看电视的时间少了, 一周只去有最舒服座椅的Sun Cinema看一次电影。
3、学习更努力了, 因为知道通过努力学习实现梦想是非常重要的。在上周的英语测试中取得了好成绩。
4、性格更外向了, 交了更多的朋友, 近期计划和朋友去爬泰山。
要求：语句通顺, 条理清楚, 可适当发挥。不少于80词（开头已给出, 不计入总数）。
Dear Jim,
Long time no see! How’s it going with you？I’m in Grade Eight now, I’m writing to tell you something enjoyable.

28．句意：苏珊终于得到了她一直努力争取的职位。
根据manage to do sth=succeed in doing sth表示“ 成功做某事”，结合“managed”是一般过去时，所以此处是一般过去时，故答案为succeeded in。

33．句意：他们还没有找到解决我们问题的方法。
分析所给单词“the way, yet, they, found, the problem，work out, haven’t ,to”及符号可知此处句现在完成时的否定句。主语是“They”，谓语动词是“haven’t found”，“yet”放句末。故答案为They haven’t found the way to work out our problem yet.
【点睛】
句型转换题一般考查一般疑问句、特殊疑问句和反意疑问句及同义句等。一般疑问句、特殊疑问句和反意疑问句，学生要注意相关句型及时态；同义句主要是动词词组的考查，还有要注意时态，语态的考查。
本题的第一小题考查了考查特殊疑问句。根据划线部分是对一周一次提问，所以用How often，特殊疑问句的结构是特殊疑问词+be动词（助动词）+主语+其他？故答案为How often。

八、阅读回答问题
Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）
Almost every woman likes going shopping. Personally speaking, I enjoy shopping in the U.K., even if it’s just window shopping. The sales service is the key reason why I like shopping in the U.K. much more than shopping in China.
Every brand has its own official website where customers can see products and order directly online, so the products can be sent home directly. As for those who enjoy shopping in real stores, shopping experiences are rather free and open. Different from that in China, most stores do not provide personal shop assistants unless you ask one of the staff about a specific question. It is never necessary to tell them to leave you alone. Although sometimes, store staff help customers to fetch shoes or clothes of a specific size or color, they never exaggerate(夸大)their opinions on it, as their task is to provide service but not to provide comments.
Besides, each brand has a refund policy(退款政策). The policy may be different from one another, but a cooling-off period of 14 to 28 days is provided for customers to think twice about whether they really want the products they bought. Within the cooling-off period, customers can easily get full refund or exchange if they can provide a valid receipt(有效发票)and unused products with all the tags. It encourages customers to buy products more often and increases sales. As for customers, it is also good, for people can have a chance to get back their money which was spent on unwanted clothes.
The U.K. is a modern country with traditions. While it says yes to the fast pace of modern fashion industry, it also provides 80 for its tourists and customer. It fully deserves the title of “Shopping Paradise”.
56．What is the most important reason why the writer likes shopping in the U.K.
________________________________________________
57．In the writer’s opinion, why are shopping experiences free and open in the U.K.
________________________________________________
58．What does the underlined word “them” refer to
It refers to ______________________________.
59．Do store staff usually help customers fetch things or give comments in the U.K.
________________________________________________
60．How can customers get a full refund or exchange
________________________________________________
61．What can be filled in the blank in the last paragraph
It also provides ___________________ for its tourists and customers.
【答案】56．The sales service is good.
57．Because every brand has its own official website so the products can be sent home directly.
58．shop assistants
59．They help customers fetch things.
60．Within the cooling-off period, customers can easily get full refund or exchange if they can provide a valid receipt and unused products with all the tags.
61．free services
【导语】
本文主要是作者介绍了美国的购物体验，并与中国的购物方式进行了对比。
56．
根据“The sales service is the key reason why I like shopping in the U.K. much more than shopping in China”可知，销售服务好是作者最喜欢的关键因素，故填The sales service is good.
57．
根据“Every brand has its own official website where customers can see products and order directly online, so the products can be sent home directly. As for those who enjoy shopping in real stores, shopping experiences are rather free and open”可知，因为每个品牌都有自己的官方网站，所以产品可以直接寄回家，故填Because every brand has its own official website so the products can be sent home directly.
58．
根据“Different from that in China, most stores do not provide personal shop assistants unless you ask one of the staff about a specific question. It is never necessary to tell them to leave you alone”可知，大多数商店不会提供销售员，除非你向店员询问一个特定的问题。没有必要告诉销售员让你一个人待着，所以them指代前文提到的“shop assistants”，故填shop assistants。
59．
根据“Although sometimes, store staff help customers to fetch shoes or clothes of a specific size or color, they never exaggerate (夸大) their opinions on it”可知，店员会帮助顾客取特定尺寸或颜色的鞋子或衣服，故填They help customers fetch things.
60．
根据“Within the cooling-off period, customers can easily get full refund or exchange if they can provide a valid receipt (有效发票) and unused products with all the tags”可知，在退款期内，如果顾客能提供有效的收据和所有标签的未使用产品，就可以轻松获得全额退款或换货，故填Within the cooling-off period, customers can easily get full refund or exchange if they can provide a valid receipt and unused products with all the tags.
61．
根据“The sales service is the key reason why I like shopping in the U.K. much more than shopping in China”以及“As for those who enjoy shopping in real stores, shopping experiences are rather free and open”可知，给顾客提供免费的服务，故填free services。

【答案】例文：
Dear Jim,
Long time no see! How’s it going with you？I’m in Grade Eight now, I’m writing to tell you something enjoyable.
First of all, you know that I didn’t like sports in the past. Now I’m taller and take more exercise. I eat less junk food. Next, I spend less time watching TV. I go to Sun Cinema once a week. Because it has the most comfortable seats. Third, I study harder. Because I know that it’s important to make my dream come true by working hard. Last week, I got better grade in the English test. I was pretty excited. Last, I’m more outgoing, so it’s easy for me to make more friends. I plan to climb Mount Tai with some of my friends next weekend.
Would you like to share something about you with me？
Yours,
Tom
