When I close my , I'm out there in the football field and running a flying ball. When I wake up, I'm morethan I was before I went to bed. What am I going to do?" The doctor sat back and said, "of all, you have to do your best not to dream about football. Before you fall asleep, try to think about something else. Try to think that you are at a party and someone is going to give you several million dollars. "" Are you crazy（疯了）"the man shouted ，"I'll miss the ball !"第六篇It was lovely to hear from you again and to know that things are goingwith you.Thanks for telling me all the Chinese Moon Festival. It sounds like you enjoyed a great party in Inner Mongolaia(内蒙古). It makes me think of the festival we took part in we traveled in South Africa. The people there kept many goats(山羊), as well as sheep and cows. Beef was expensive and was only for very time. In all our time there we were served beef in the villages, because beef is not usually served to .By the way, I happened to see these pictures and thought you'd like tosee . A Chinese girl gave Tang suits to Joan and me when she left school. We them on in the university car park. Someone took photos for us though I was wearing my kilt(苏格兰短褶裙)! It seemed to be different that some suggested that I could start a new look.We wore Tang suits to a dinner which was held on the ship in August when we visited Germany. Some Chinese ladies came and spoke to us. They were interested in my traditional Chinese clothing.We look forward to hearing from you again.Best Wishes!Y ours,Ken and Joan第七篇Now I'm standing in front of my daughter's school. I here twice. Last year, I came here and a talk about kindness to 60 kids andtheir teachers. After a small talk about the story of kindness, I gave them a task — Itold them a small story about an act of kindness(善举) theyin the past and how that made them feel. Then I would the best one and share it with all the people the next week.When I was waiting for my daughter, I some teachers walkingby and I hoped they would tell me if they liked the talk or not, but they didn't say anything.Then a little boy came to me and said, "You know, I the talk today." "Then are you going to write a lovely story?" I asked. "I'm not good at" said the boy. So I explained (解释) that I would be glad if he could just write a wordor two about an act of kindness.He didn't have time to me because his friends werefor him, but in my heart it was a beautiful act of kindness. The act he enjoyed my talk made me very happy.第八篇wonderful .There are many sweet in it and I want to share some you. During my childhood I lived with my family. I have an elder sister and a younger brother and we used to play a game called "sale". It means "selling" old things like old toys, clothes, books, etc. in the front yard and we "bought" it with cards（扑克牌）instead of money. We had so much fun.Like other children, I also played a lot with many during my childhood. Children are always crazy about their toys. I two cute toy bears in my childhood and they were my favorite. They felt so and comfortable that I fell with them every night.I them as my best friends then and I didn't share them with anyone. Whenever someone touched them, I would cry loudly.This is my childhood. Do you have any kind of sweet memories like this?第九篇to me. Although we sometimes have different ideas and even fight, we are still the best friends. My life would be less colorfulher.We met each other four years ago. She said hello to me with a sweet smile. Ithat she was a kind girl. And she was. When I felt sad, she always stood by me and made me feel better.the winter holiday, we went to the amusement park Happy Valley together. We had fun on the roller coaster(过山车). We held each other's hands and when we were riding the roller coaster. It was so exciting the ride made me feel a little sick(恶心). She bought a bottle of water for me. This experience made our friendship much .Many parents think kids can't be friends forever. But I don't believe this. My favorite is, "A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart." Maybe we won't always spend all of our time together. But I will enjoy the time I spend with her and the between us.第十篇But the fact is that we can see homeless people. For example, how many of us would expect people living on the streets of a developed country like Germany?Kurt Muller and his wife (妻子) Rita had spent years making meals for the homeless of Berlin, Germany. They often stayed at home, made sandwiches, set a table in the street and gave food to the homeless. “I got such a strongwhen I saw thankful and happy smiles (微笑) on their faces.” said Kurt.The Mullers soon found that food and clothing weren't enough. “What these people also need is warmth and caring.” said Rita. The Mull ers to give their phone number to the street people and told them to phone anytime. Rita made sure there was somebody at home to answer the phone and their home was always to the homeless.They were soon running out of all their time and money, so Kurt had to visit food and clothing factories to ask for help. Many factories were moved (感动) by their and spirit, they gave them enough food and clothing.Kurt and Rita get nothing for their hard work. “We feel like parents,” s ays Rita, “and parents shouldn't expect money for their children. The love we get on the streets is the best thing for .” Though Rita and Kurt meet many and often get tired, they say they will go on with the work because they like the of having made a difference in the world.keys第一篇agree；wrong；with；few；said；what；right；respect；use；example 第二篇reported；while；matches；heavily；storm；dying；rising；Fallen；clean；Although第三篇during；bridge；Europe；because；went；more；Knowledge；shared；developed；runs第四篇looking；wants；hear；to know；making；gives；to come；watching；said；have seen第五篇problem；me；never；interested；worse；eyes；after；tired；First；loudly第六篇well；about；when；special；never；visitors；them；tried；so；both第七篇have seen；gave；to tell；did；choose；saw；enjoy；writing；to talk；waiting第八篇childhood；memories；with；yard；crayons；toys；own；soft；asleep；regarded第九篇means；without；guessed；really；During；shouted；(al)though；stronger；saying；friendship第十篇anywhere；to see；satisfaction；decided；open；kindness；helping；ourselves；difficulties；feeling。

八年级下册英语期中综合复习基础测试卷（一）一、单选题(共14道，每道5分)1.Mrs. Green broke her leg and she got ______ X-ray just now.A.aB.anC.theD./答案：B解题思路：句意为“格林夫人摔伤了腿，她刚刚去做了个X光检查”，根据语境可知不是特指，这里要用不定冠词。

X-ray是以元音音素开头的单词，所以前面的不定冠词要用an。

试题难度：三颗星知识点：不定冠词2.下面哪个选项不是“She has a stomachache.”的同义句：_______A.She has a sore stomach.B.Her stomach hurts.C.There is nothing wrong with her stomach.D.She has a pain in her stomach.答案：C解题思路：表达身体疼痛或不舒服可以用以下句型来表达：①人+have/has+a+head ache/stomachache/backache...②人+have/has+a+sore+身体部位③“人+hurt(s)+身体部位/反身代词”或“身体部位+hurt(s)”④人+have/has+a pain+in one’s+身体部位⑤There is something wrong with one’s+身体部位。

当然也有其他的表达方式。

“She has a stomachache.”表示“她胃痛”，ABD分别用的是②③④这三个句型，都表示“她胃痛”；其中D项里的pain表名词“疼；痛”。

C选项表示的是“她的胃没什么毛病”，与题意不符，如果将nothing改成something才与原句为同义句。

所以答案选C。
