（2022秋·广东广州·八年级广州市第十六中学校考期中）Nowadays, we have kinds of technologies to protect us from different disasters（灾难）. We even know where and when some disasters, like the typhoon, come. While most of the new technologies are far away from us, some around us can help people in disasters.
The drone（无人机）is one of them. It can be used to send food, water and other important things when a natural disaster happens. Very often the buildings are too dangerous for rescue teams to get in. They can make the drone fly into the buildings to search for those who are still alive first.
Social media is also a useful tool when it comes to natural disasters. With its help, people can know about the natural disasters before they hit. And some social media platforms allow people to mark themselves as safe after disasters so others can know their status.
Social media is also a place for up-to-the-minute news, so people can learn what is going on in the disaster areas. Besides, many social media platforms allow people to donate money to help people in disaster areas. The money will help them get back to their normal life as soon as possible. For example, livestreaming（直播）helped raise a lot of money for Henan after the flood in 2021.
Although these technologies can help when there is a natural disaster, we still need to prepare necessary tools and learn important skills to protect ourselves.

30．推理判断题。根据“And some social media platforms allow people to mark themselves as safe after disasters so others can know their status.”可知，一些社交媒体平台允许人们在灾难发生后将自己标记为安全的，这样其他人就可以知道自己的状态，也就是人们可以知道他们情况如何。故选D。

（2022秋·广东广州·八年级广州大学附属中学校考期中）The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics was a great success. China has kept the promise to hold a green Olympics. Many green actions made it possible, like providing environmentally friendly smart beds, using new energy(能源) cars, supporting sporting places with 100% clean energy and reusing rain and snow water.
Take making ice as an example. China didn’t use R507, a common material to make ice, because it isn’t friendly enough to the environment. Through 18 months’ hard work, China independently developed the CO direct cooling technology.
A net of tubes runs under the ice. High-pressure liquid(液态) CO goes through them to create heat(热) exchange. The CO evaporates(蒸发) under the ice surface. The evaporation takes in heat and turns water on the surface into ice. And the CO goes into another circle. This technology helps to make ice better and faster. And above all, it is much greener because there’s no new CO produced. Among all the 15 ice sporting places in the Winter Olympics, 7 used the CO direct cooling technology to make ice. As a result, much less pollution was caused.
Beijing did so much more to save energy. Beijing built the new sporting places with green materials. As for the old ones, Beijing used new glass walls to take the place of traditional walls to let more natural light in. 70% of the waste heat was also reused to keep warm and dry. And a large number of new energy cars were used at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics is the first to truly achieve carbon neutrality(碳中和), and it has set new standards in green technologies. Some newspapers say China has set an example for the world in environmental protection and green development.
34．How long did it take China to develop the CO direct cooling technology
A．18 months. B．100 weeks. C．15 days. D．7 years.
35．The writer writes Para. 3 to show ________.
A．why the CO goes into another circle
B．how the new ice-making technology helped
C．how sporting places used the new technology
D．why the liquid CO runs through the net of tubes
36．According to the passage, we can infer(推断) that ________.
A．all the buildings will be built with glass walls in the near future
B．the CO direct cooling technology may be widely used in the world
C．the high-pressure liquid CO will totally take the place of R507 soon
D．no new standards in green technologies may be set after the Olympics
37．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A．A New Green Ice-making Technology
B．Green Technologies Used in Sports
C．A Shared Future of Green Development
D．The Green Beijing Winter Olympics

【答案】46．(t)iny 47．(u)naware 48．(p)rices 49．(a)ddition 50．(e)xpensive
【导语】本文主要介绍了美国的邮局。
46．句意：有些在商店的角落里非常小。根据“at the corner of a shop”结合下文“Others are large buildings.”可知，在商店角落里的邮局应该是非常小；结合首字母提示，tiny“极小的，微小的”符合语境，形容词作表语。故填(t)iny。
47．句意：你可能没有注意到它们。根据上文可知有些在商店角落里的邮局非常小，你可能都没意识到它们是邮局；结合首字母，unaware“未察觉到的，未意识到的”符合语境，形容词；be unaware of“没有注意到”。故填(u)naware。
48．句意：邮局以不同的价格出售邮票，从一美分到几美元不等。根据“from one cent to some dollars.”可知，邮局售卖邮票的价格不同；结合首字母，price“价格”符合语境；由空前的“different”可知，应用名词复数。故填(p)rices。
49．句意：此外，你也可以在邮局买明信片。根据“In ...”及首字母可知，此处考查固定短语in addition，意为“此外”。故填(a)ddition。
50．句意：寄信比寄明信片贵。根据“It always cost you twice more of the price.”可知，价格更贵， expensive“昂贵的”，形容词作表语，故填(e)xpensive。
五、完成句子 （共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）
51．（2022秋·广东广州·八年级西关外国语学校校考期中）在过去，人们通过写信保持联系。
In the past, people each other by writing letters.
【答案】 kept in touch with
【详解】keep in touch with“和……保持联系”，为固定短语。根据“In the past”可知句子是一般过去时，动词用过去式，故填kept；in；touch；with。
52．（2022秋·广东广州·八年级西关外国语学校校考期中）树木是很宝贵的。我们必须阻止人们砍伐树木。
Trees are very valuable. We must down trees.
【答案】 stop people from cutting
【详解】stop sb from doing sth“阻止某人做某事”，people“人们”，cut down“砍伐”，must后用动词原形。故填stop；people；from；cutting。
53．（2022秋·广东广州·八年级广州大学附属中学校考期中）我正盼望着遇见你。
I am you.
【答案】 looking forward to meeting
【详解】根据句意，结合英语分析，可知此处缺少“盼望着遇见”。 盼望：look forward to；遇见：meet；由“我正盼望着遇见你”可知，用现在进行时。look forward to中的to为介词，后接动名词。故填 looking；forward；to；meeting。
54．（2022秋·广东广州·八年级校考期中）电脑在我们生活中是多么的重要！
computers are in our lives!
【答案】 How important
【详解】根据句意和题干可知，这是一个感叹句。important“重要的”，形容词作中心词，应用How+形容词+主语+谓语结构。故填How；important。
55．（2022秋·广东广州·八年级广州大学附属中学校考期中）对我们而言，在家里有一本百科全书是很有用的。
It’s for us an encyclopaedia around our house.
【答案】 useful to have
【详解】表达“有用的”用单词useful。表达“有”用单词have。结合句意可知，本句的句型为：It’s+形容词+for sb.+to do sth.。意为“对于某人来说做某事是怎么样的”。所以第一空填形容词useful；第二空填不定式to have。故填useful；to have。

（2022秋·广东广州·八年级校考期中）William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564 on April the 23rd. His father was an important man in the town, so Shakespeare had a good childhood.

Shakespeare wrote 38 plays and 154 sonnets. He began working in his hometown of Stratford, but by 1592, he began writing in London.

We feel Shakespeare’s influence (影响) on the English language today. We talk about “fair play”, meaning honest behavior, and this phrase was first used by Shakespeare.

Besides, Shakespeare’s works have been translated into many other languages in the world.

（2022秋·广东广州·八年级广州市第十六中学校考期中）Nowadays, we have kinds of technologies to protect us from different disasters（灾难）. We even know where and when some disasters, like the typhoon, come. While most of the new technologies are far away from us, some around us can help people in disasters.
The drone（无人机）is one of them. It can be used to send food, water and other important things when a natural disaster happens. Very often the buildings are too dangerous for rescue teams to get in. They can make the drone fly into the buildings to search for those who are still alive first.
Social media is also a useful tool when it comes to natural disasters. With its help, people can know about the natural disasters before they hit. And some social media platforms allow people to mark themselves as safe after disasters so others can know their status.
Social media is also a place for up-to-the-minute news, so people can learn what is going on in the disaster areas. Besides, many social media platforms allow people to donate money to help people in disaster areas. The money will help them get back to their normal life as soon as possible. For example, livestreaming（直播）helped raise a lot of money for Henan after the flood in 2021.
Although these technologies can help when there is a natural disaster, we still need to prepare necessary tools and learn important skills to protect ourselves.
30．If people know others “status”, they know ________.
A．what they are like B．what they are doing
C．if they are at home D．how they are going
31．The writer mentions livestreaming to show ________.
A．social media can provide up-to-the-minute news
B．social media can help raise money after a disaster
C．people can know about coming disasters on social media
D．people can tell others they are safe through social media
32．The purpose of the passage is to ________.
A．tell readers what to do when disasters come
B．advise readers to use social media more often
C．tell readers how some technologies help in disasters
D．ask readers to learn necessary skills for natural disasters

（2022秋·广东广州·八年级广州大学附属中学校考期中）The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics was a great success. China has kept the promise to hold a green Olympics. Many green actions made it possible, like providing environmentally friendly smart beds, using new energy(能源) cars, supporting sporting places with 100% clean energy and reusing rain and snow water.
Take making ice as an example. China didn’t use R507, a common material to make ice, because it isn’t friendly enough to the environment. Through 18 months’ hard work, China independently developed the CO direct cooling technology.
A net of tubes runs under the ice. High-pressure liquid(液态) CO goes through them to create heat(热) exchange. The CO evaporates(蒸发) under the ice surface. The evaporation takes in heat and turns water on the surface into ice. And the CO goes into another circle. This technology helps to make ice better and faster. And above all, it is much greener because there’s no new CO produced. Among all the 15 ice sporting places in the Winter Olympics, 7 used the CO direct cooling technology to make ice. As a result, much less pollution was caused.
Beijing did so much more to save energy. Beijing built the new sporting places with green materials. As for the old ones, Beijing used new glass walls to take the place of traditional walls to let more natural light in. 70% of the waste heat was also reused to keep warm and dry. And a large number of new energy cars were used at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics is the first to truly achieve carbon neutrality(碳中和), and it has set new standards in green technologies. Some newspapers say China has set an example for the world in environmental protection and green development.
34．How long did it take China to develop the CO direct cooling technology
A．18 months. B．100 weeks. C．15 days. D．7 years.
35．The writer writes Para. 3 to show ________.
A．why the CO goes into another circle
B．how the new ice-making technology helped
C．how sporting places used the new technology
D．why the liquid CO runs through the net of tubes
36．According to the passage, we can infer(推断) that ________.
A．all the buildings will be built with glass walls in the near future
B．the CO direct cooling technology may be widely used in the world
C．the high-pressure liquid CO will totally take the place of R507 soon
D．no new standards in green technologies may be set after the Olympics
37．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A．A New Green Ice-making Technology
B．Green Technologies Used in Sports
C．A Shared Future of Green Development
D．The Green Beijing Winter Olympics

A young prince had just recently become King. 41 So he called all the wise men from his country and ordered them to look for books for him to read and learn from.
Five years passed quickly. The wise men returned with 5,000 books full of wisdom（智慧）. 42 So he ordered the wise men to condense（简缩）the books and bring them back to him. Another five years passed. 43 Five more years passed. The wise men brought back 50 books but the king still felt there were too many books.
44 The king took no interest in reading this book, and he didn’t have time to learn from it. More problems broke out in his country—his enemies attacked and diseases affected（敌人攻击和疾病影响）his people. 45 Finally, the king was killed by a ruler in the neighbor country and his country was destroyed（毁灭）.
Waiting for wisdom to come to you is just a way of being lazy. Only if we set out to find wisdom can we make a difference.
A．During the next few years, the wise men worked hard to condense the 50 books into one book and show it to the king.
B．He did not have the wisdom to solve these problems.
C．To rule his country, he decided to learn all the wisdom of world.
