He finds out that those who exercise in natural light for half an hour every day have better sleep and more energy. Dr. Yang himself gets up at 6:30 am. Then he usually takes a walk outside. Sometimes, he walks his two dogs in the park in the afternoon with his sunglasses left at home.Many schools put Dr. Yang’s findings into practice. They made it a rule that students should do outdoor exercise once or twice a day. In some schools, students even set up outdoor running clubs. After some time, most students said that they benefited(受益) a lot from outdoor exercise. Now they sleep better and concentrate(专注) more on their studies.Some students are now thinking about inviting their teachers to join in their daily runs.According to Dr. Yang, when is it better to exercise, in the day or at night? _____________________________________________________What is Dr. Yang’s research about?_____________________________________________________What does Dr. Yang usually do after he gets up? _____________________________________________________How often should students do outdoor exercise in many schools? _____________________________________________________Who will some students invite to join in their daily runs? _____________________________________________________ B. 书面表达 (本题15分) 请根据要求完成短文写作，将作文写在答题卡指定的位置上。假如你是广州Li Hua,上海朋友Linda想来玩,让你写邮件介绍来广州的不同交通方式。(1)要点:  ① 广州是个不错的城市，欢迎来拜访。相信你会玩得开心。   ②从上海到广州有好多交通方式,比如高铁(high-speed rail)、飞机、长途大巴。③乘坐飞机大约要两个小时,是最快方式,但最贵,夜晚航班比高铁便宜。 ④可能最好方式是乘坐高铁,比坐飞机慢,但最舒服,最安全,也更有趣些。 ⑤希望我的建议有帮助,祝旅途愉快。(2)作文要求: ①不能照抄原文,不得在作文中出现学校真实名称和考生真实姓名；②语句连贯,词数80个左右,作文的开头和结尾已经给出,不计入总词数。   Hi, Linda,   You say you are going to visit Guangzhou.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Love,                                                                Li Hua2022-2023学年度第一学期学情练习(期中) 八年级英语卷(答案) 一、语法   1-5.BACAD   6-10.DBDCA 二、完形  11-15.

I think it’s a good idea. Guangzhou is a great city to visit. I’m sure you’ll have a good time here. There are many ways to take/go from Shanghai to Guangzhou, such as by high-speed rail, by plane or by coach.It will take you about two hours to fly to Guangzhou from Shanghai. Taking a plane is the fastest and the most expensive way. But the price of night flights is cheaper than that of the high-speed rail. Maybe the best way is to take the high-speed rail from Shanghai to Guangzhou. It is slower than going by plane, but it’s the most comfortable way. And it’s the safest way, too. I think it’s more interesting than taking a plane.I hope my advice is helpful for you. Have a great trip!                                                         Love,                                                        Li Hua
