No two snowflakes (雪花) are the same. They have different shapes and fall in four different ways. By watching how they “dance”, we can learn the weather conditions (状况).

How they dance： What’s the weather like
Fall in a line：They fall slowly. Zigzag (之字形路线)：They shake a little back and forth (前后). Snowflakes dancing like this may melt and become rain.
Spin：They fall fast. Spin and zigzag：They bump into (撞上) each other and become bigger ones. Snowflakes falling in these ways might bring a lot of snow.
( )16．What can we learn by watching snowflakes “dance”
A．The size of the snowflakes. B．The weather conditions.
C．The colour of the snowflakes. D．The temperature of the snowflakes.

第二节 任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
Parents are the ones who love you most on Earth. However, you don’t often thank them. Sometimes when you want to, it’s too late. So don’t wait, say some sweet words to your parents.
“I miss you.” You may be busy, but don’t forget to call your parents and tell them how much you miss them.
“Thank you for all the things you do.” Hug (拥抱) them and tell them how much you thank them. You can’t give back everything they’ve done for you, but this small act will make them feel warm.
“I’m sorry.” You may hurt them before but they still love you. You may try to go back in time and make everything right. But that can’t happen and all you can do is to say sorry.
“Thank you for making me what I’m today.” You can never thank them enough for this. They are always there to help you move forward in life. Let them know they are the real heroes in your life.
Say 31 sweet to your parents.

Words to say “I miss you.” 33 to call parents even when you are busy.
“Thank you for all the things you do.”Show your thanks with small acts.
“I’m sorry.Say sorry to your parents instead of 34 to go back.

【答案】31．something 32．seldom 33．Remember 34．trying 35．lead/help
【解析】本文主要介绍了父母给予我们爱，我们却很少感谢他们，因此作者建议多和我们的父母说一些甜蜜的话语。
31．根据“So don’t wait, say some sweet words to your parents.”本文主要介绍了一些可以常给父母说的话语，因此判断标题为向父母说一些甜蜜的话语，题目中使用了同义句，some sweet words可转换为something sweet，故填something。
32．根据“Parents are the ones who love you most on Earth. However, you don’t often thank them.”可知我们不经常感谢父母，题目中使用了同义词，not often的同义词为seldom，故填seldom。
33．根据“You may be busy, but don’t forget to call your parents and tell them how much you miss them.”可知即使忙碌也不要忘记给父母打电话，题目中使用了同义词，don’t forget的同义词为remember，故填Remember。
34．根据“You may try to go back in time and make everything right. But that can’t happen and all you can do is to say sorry.”你可能试着回到过去，把一切都纠正过来。但那是不可能的，你能做的就是说抱歉。可知作者建议不要试图回到过去，而是向你的父母道歉，try to do sth.“试图做某事”，of是介词，后接动词的ing形式，故填trying。
35．根据“They are always there to help you move forward in life.”可知是父母帮助你在生活中前进，也就是他们在带领你或者帮助你过上更好的生活，所以此处使用lead或者help均可以，句子时态是一般现在时，主语your parents是名词复数，谓语动词用原形形式，故填lead/help。

Good Ways to Keep Healthy
It’s very important for us to keep fit. But do you know the ways to keep healthy
First, we need to have healthy eating habits. We can eat a lot of vegetables and fresh fruit, but we’d better eat less meat. Different kinds of foods are necessary, and it’s also important to have a balanced diet. Then, playing sports every day can also help us keep fit. We can take walks after dinner, and we can walk to school instead of taking a bus. After school we can spend hours playing basketball or soccer with our friends. We should try to do more exercise every day.
Happiness is another way to keep healthy. When we are lonely or unhappy, try to make friends, and it is a good way to keep us happy. If you smile often, you also feel happy. So, be happy to be healthy.2024-2025学年八年级第二学期期中模拟考试
