2023-2024学年八年级上学期第三次月考（无锡专用）
英语
一、单项选择（本大题共14小题，每小题1分，共14分）
1．A
【详解】句意：他们中很少有人同情穷人。真可惜！
考查冠词。a冠词，表示数量“一”，一般用在音标以元音音素开头的单词前。根据have/take pity on sb.“同情某人”。所以第一个空什么都不填；根据句意，第二句话应该是what a pity it is.这里“a shame”表示的是“可惜的事情”，是名词shame表示具有某种感情情绪的事。故第二个空格填a。故选A。
2．B
【详解】句意：——吉姆会坐火车来吗？——我不确定。他可能会开他的车来。
考查情态动词。must一定；may可能；need 需要；will将会。根据后面的回答“I’m not sure.”可知，空处应该是表示不确定的猜测，所以用may。故选B。
3．A
【详解】句意：史密斯先生关着门在房间里睡觉。
考查形容词。closed关着的，形容词；close关，动词；closing结束的。根据with+名词+形容词“让某物处于某种状态”可知，此处应用形容词。故选A。
4．C
【详解】句意：——野生动物处于危险之中。他们需要更多人的帮助。——是的。在保护区工作的人们正在尽一切努力保护他们。
考查非谓语。句子主语是people，working in the reserves是用来修饰people的，作定语；谓语动词是are doing，宾语是everything，那么they can是用来修饰everything的，在句中做定语；后面空格部分在句中做目的状语，用动词不定式。故选C。
5．A
【详解】句意：为了开会不迟到，我妹妹决定今天早上早起。
考查in order to的用法。in order to do sth.“为了做某事”，表目的，to do“动词不定式”，所以其否定结构为in order not to do sth.“为了不做某事”，根据“my sister forced herself to get up early this morning”可知应是为了不迟到，故选A。
6．C
【详解】句意：我经常听到她唱这首歌。听！你没听见她在隔壁唱歌吗？
考查非谓语动词。hear sb. do sth.：听见某人经常（或做过）做某事；hear sb. doing sth.：听见某人正在做某事。第一空根据“often”可知应用动词原形；第二空根据“Listen”可知应用现在分词，故选C。
7．C
【详解】句意：野生动物的庇护所越来越少，所以它们的数量越来越少。
考查形容词辨析。less and less越来越少，修饰不可数名词；fewer and fewer越来越少，修饰可数名词；larger and larger越来越大；more and more越来越多；smaller and smaller越来越小。第一个空修饰不可数名词cover用less and less，排除BD；根据语境可知，它们庇护所越来越少，所以数量也是越来越少。故选C。
8．A
【详解】句意：——你拍鸟的照片了吗？——我没有拍，我只拍了一些斑马的照片。
考查代词辨析。none没有，强调数量；no one没有一个人；nobody没有人；nothing没有什么，强调“空无一物”。根据问句“Did you take any photos of the birds ”以及“I only took some pictures of zebras.”可知，这里强调数量，没有拍一张鸟的照片。故选A。
9．A
【详解】句意：百分之五十的学生做了大部分的工作。剩下的工作真的很难。
考查主谓一致。第一句话的主语是“Fifty percent of the students”，谓语动词单复数应与students一致，students“学生”，为复数形式，故谓语动词用复数，排除选项C和D；第二句话的主语是“The rest of th work”，是不可数名词，谓语动词用单数。故选A。
10．D
【详解】句意：那个富人在困难时期为贫困家庭提供了许多食物。
考查动词短语。provide sb. with sth.与provide sth. for sb.意思相同，意思均为“为某人提供某物”，题干的句子符合“provide sth. for sb.”这一结构。故选D。
11．C
【详解】句意：这副双筒望远镜旧了。请给我买另一副，妈妈。
考查主谓一致。is/are系动词，is 表示单数；are表示复数；another one 另一个，one作代词，代指前面提到的名词；another pair 另一副，没有指定那一副；another pair of+复数名词，作主语时，中心词是pair而不是后面的名词，所以be动词用is；根据“This pair of binoculars…old. Please buy me…”及结合选项可知，这副双筒望远镜旧了，请给我买另一副，没有指定买那一副。故选C。
12．D
【详解】句意：妈妈叫来访者悄悄地走，不要吵醒婴儿。
考查动词短语。tell sb. to do sth.表示“告诉某人做某事”，否定形式是tell sb. not to do sth.表示“告诉某人不要做某事”。结合句意可知，应该安静不要吵醒婴儿，前面应该用肯定形式，后面应该用否定形式，故选D。
13．C
【详解】句意：我喜欢唱歌，而她喜欢跳舞。
考查连词辨析。but但是；so因此；while而；when当……时候。根据“I like singing ... she likes dancing.”可知前后表对比，用while连接并列句。故选C。
14．A
【详解】句意：——我叔叔已经多年没有回故乡了。——真遗憾。他一定很想念他的家人。
考查情景交际。It’s a shame真遗憾；No way没门；Good job干得好；No problem没问题。根据“He must miss his family very much.”可知，多年不能回故乡应该是遗憾的事情，故选A。

57．据When you make a mistake, what you shouldn’t do is to run away from it. You need to accept it because you can learn a lot from it. The mistake has been made, so make the most of it. Pay the price, learn the lesson, and grow that much stronger.可知，错误的价值就是：通过接受它们为它们付出代价，你会从错误中学到很多成长得更强大，故该空填accepting。
58．据When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Remember the causes , and then look forward.和上下文可知，因为你不能改变过去，所以当你犯错时要记住你为什么犯错然后向前看，故该空应填why。

【解析】59．be covered with“覆盖”，the deep white snow 厚厚的白雪，根据last year可知此处用一般过去时，主语the whole land是第三人称单数，故谓语用第三人称单数，故为was covered in/with deep white snow。
60．ask sb to do sth“要求某人做某事”，on rainy days“在雨天”，故为to drive slowly on rainy。
61．take action to do sth“采取措施做某事”，prevent /stop sb (from) doing sth“阻止某人做某事”。表示“正在采取措施”故用现在进行时，故为taking action to prevent/stop hunters (from)。

The package (包裹) left by a passenger (乘客) on a bus turned out to be a heartwarming festive present for the Dragon Boat Festival. It is sent by a local old man to thank the workers for their hard work.
On Sunday, the first day of the three-day Dragon Boat Festival holiday, the bus driver in Nanjing, east China Jiangsu Province, found a bag left on the vehicle at the station.
Wondering who the package belonged to, the driver, Liang Ping, checked the surveillance footage, which showed an elderly man getting on the bus with the cloth bag, but later he got off with empty hands. The driver soon knew that the bag was left by the man, after he found a paper note in the bag, along with some Zongzi a traditional Chinese snack usually eaten on the Dragon Boat Festival.
“These are fresh Zongzi along with some salty duck eggs. I would like to give them to the drivers on the line,” read the note by the unknown passenger, which went on by saying “the line has made travel for local people easier, and the drivers are also nice. The Zongzi are just some small gifts given to express our appreciation (感激) of your hard work.”
While enjoying the delicious homemade Zongzi, Liang told local media that he would also like to express his thanks to passengers for recognizing (认可) his service.

Many of you maybe had this experience: you get on a train and are ready to take a nap or read a book, only to find that the young man in front of you is watching a TV show on his smartphone without headphones. The child next to you won’t stop crying. And the old lady behind you talks on her phone during the whole trip.
Wish the train could be less noisy The Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway, one of China’s busiest high-speed rail lines, will have “quiet” carriages (车厢) starting from 23 December, Xinhua reported.
In quiet carriages, on-board videos will be muted (静音) and announcements will be made lower. Doors at the ends of the carriages will be kept closed to reduce noise from other carriages, CGTN noted. Train attendants will be responsible for making sure that passengers keep quiet and follow the rules.
Passengers who are willing to obey the rules can choose the quiet carriages when booking their tickets, according to China’ national railway operator.
Some people have pointed out that this kind of quiet environment should be offered in all carriages. They say that having quiet carriages might give people the impression that they don’t need to be quiet in non-quiet carriages.
Some Internet users support the new service, but it also has discussion about just how quiet travellers should be in quiet carriages. Many people have asked questions such as “What if I snore (打鼾) ” and “Can we talk to our travel companions if we need to ”

The Southern California (加利福尼亚州)wildfire started on Tuesday morning. By the end of the day, it covered 47 square miles. The fire changed the life in the area, causing hour-long traffic jams, and making the people leave their homes.
The fire travelled really fast. So the governor(州长)Jerry Brown acted quickly and sent a state of emergency(紧急情况) soon after the fire started. Usually the state of emergency comes much later, after a fire has caused serious problems over several days.
The government ordered the evacuation(疏散) of 34,000 homes and 87,000 people. When one family failed to move away, firefighters went to protect their home. Six of the firefighters were once trapped by the fire.“We just sat there and waited for the fire to blow over,”firefighter Cody Anderson says.
The Southern California fire wasn't the only one burning in the state. The Clayton fire in Northern California, burned more than 175 buildings by the end of last week. Now, the firefighters have put out 40% of the fire and some evacuated people are able to return to their homes. But firefighters will have to go on fighting the fire, because many buildings are sill in danger.
Good news is that on Tuesday afternoon the police said they caught the man who set the fire. He was Dam in Anthony Pashilk, a 40-year-old worker. The police believe he set fire in the state many times, including the Clayton fire.
Wednesday's weather will make fighting the Southern California fire difficult. Hot, dry conditions(条件) and strong wind may make the work even harder.

Mistakes are great teachers. Success comes to those who are willing to risk making mistakes to achieve their goals and wishes, and who are able to learn from those mistakes. And in order to learn from mistakes , you must be willing to pay for them .
Mistakes can be very valuable, but when you try to get others to pay for your mistakes, then you lose the chance to learn from them. When something goes wrong, it's usually very easy to find someone else’s mistakes, but is that useful
Much of the value of mistakes comes from the fact that they need a cost that must be paid. The person who learns the most from a mistake is the one who pays the price for that mistake.
When you make a mistake, what you shouldn’t do is to run away from it. You need to accept it because you can learn a lot from it. The mistake has been made, so make the most of it. Pay the price, learn the lesson, and grow that much stronger.
When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Remember the causes , and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The present is still in your power. Make full use of your mistakes to achieve your goals and wishes.
