Well，I know that school is for leaning.It is important to have 80 reading and Maths skills But I think school is also important for another reason.It helps people to learn to get along with others.
It may seem that lunchtime is not important.As you see，lots of us spend most lunchtime just talking with our friends.But this activity is more important than it looks.I'm learning how to get along with others.I'm learning how to solve problems.
I'm finding ou new things from others.I am learning how to say sorry.These are all important skills to learn.My problem is that the time for lunch keeps getting shorter.I know this is happening so we can spend more time in leaning.But please do not forget that we are also learning at lunchtime.We are learning people skills.It is important that we have enough time to spend with our friends.
I really hope that you can make our lunchtime longer.A little more time spent with friends each day would benefit everybody.

（参考答案与详解）
一、单项选择在A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
1．Bob draws___ than I，but he doesn't draw my brother.（ ）
A．better；so good as B．better，so well as
C．worse；as good as D．worse；as well as
【分析】Bob比我画得好，但他不如我哥哥画得好。
【解答】句意：Bob比我画得好，但他不如我哥哥画得好。根据句意可知，第一句是指"比我画得好"，结合空后的than可知，此处用形容词比较级，所以第一个空填better；so...as和as...as都表示"像...一样"，后面的形容词或副词要用原级。此处修饰动词draw，所以应用副词well。
故选：B。
2．Everyone in our class knows he is honest boy and we all believe he says.（ ）
A．a；that B．an；what C．a；what D．an；that
【分析】我们班的每个人都知道他是一个诚实的男孩，我们都相信他说的话。
【解答】分析句子可知，第一空，表泛指，且honest是以元音音素开头的单词，其前应使用不定冠词an修饰；由"we all believe...says."可知，这是一个宾语从句，缺少逻辑宾语，因此使用what引导，符合语境；what he says"他所说的话"。
故选：B。
3．一What do you think of he film "The Battle at Lake Changjin"？
一I think it's____，but someone thinks it's .（ ）
A．wonderful enough；boring
B．enough wonderful；boring
C．wonderful enough；bored
D．enough wonderful；bored
【分析】一你觉得他的电影《长津湖》怎么样？
一我认为这已经足够精彩了，但有人认为这很无聊。
【解答】enough足够地，是副词，修饰形容词或副词要后置；wonderful enough足够精彩；排除BD；boring令人厌倦的，人作主语；bored无聊的，人作主语。第二空是物作主语，用boring，排除C。
故选：A。
4．﹣﹣﹣Jim speaks Japanese well.Who teaches Japanese？
﹣﹣﹣ Nobody.He teaches .（ ）
A．his；himself B．him；him
C．himself；him D．him；himself
【分析】——吉姆日语说得很好。谁教他日语？
——没有人教。他自学。
【解答】his他的，形容词性的物主代词；himself他自己；him他，宾格代词。空一是作动词的宾语，故应用宾格代词him；teach oneself自学，故空二应用himself。
故选：D。
5．__________ great fun we had __________DIY in the art room with our classmates!（ ）
A．What；doing B．What a；to do
C．How；doing D．How；to do
【分析】我们和同学们在美术室里做DIY，真是太有趣了！
【解答】感叹的中心落在名词上，用what引导感叹句：What + a/an + 形容词 + 主语 + 谓语 ！What + 形容词 + 不可数名词 + 主语 + 谓语 ！What + 形容词 + 可数名词复数+ 主语 + 谓语 ！感叹的中心落在形容词或副词上，或整个句子，用how引导感叹句：How + 形容词或副词 + 主语 + 谓语 ！great fun 是不可数名词，所以用what。have fun doing sth表示高兴做某事，第二个空用doing。
故选：A。
6．﹣﹣What your best friend like？
﹣﹣Nobody seems . He can wok out the mot difficult math problem quickly in our class.（ ）
A．does；cleverer
B．is；smarter
C．does；more hard﹣working
D．is；more friendly
【分析】——你最好的朋友什么样？
——好像没有人（比他）更聪明。在我们班里他能很快算出最难的数学题。
【解答】be like好像，怎么样，指人的性格特点等，是固定短语；排除选项AC。cleverer更聪明；smarter更聪明；more hard﹣working更勤奋；more friendly更友好。再根据后句句意"在我们班里他能很快算出最难的数学题"可知，前句为"好像没有人（比他）更聪明"，选项D语意不通，再排除选项D。
故选：B。
7．In northern cities most families central heating（供暖）when fixing their houses because of the cold weather in winter.（ ）
A．put up B．put on C．put in D．put out
【分析】在北方城市，由于冬季天气寒冷，大多数家庭在修缮房屋时都会安装中央供暖系统。
【解答】A表示搭建、张贴，B表示穿上、增加、播放等，C表示安装，D表示扑灭。根据题干可知在北方城市，由于冬季天气寒冷，大多数家庭在修缮房屋时都会安装中央供暖系统，则C选项符合题意。
故选：C。
8．Why did Mike always knock our books the floor when he____ our desks？（ ）
A．off；passed B．onto；past
C．onto；passed D．off；past
【分析】迈克经过我们的课桌时，为什么总是把我们的书撞到地板上。
【解答】根据"the floor "可知，此处是"把我们的书撞到地板上"，短语knock onto..."撞到……"第二空是"迈克经过我们的课桌时"可知，此处是经过我们的桌子，此处用pass，时态是一般过去时态，用passed。
故选：C。
9．The photos taken by Shenzhou﹣13 are much than those taken from the earth.They make the study meaningful.（ ）
A．clearer；farther B．more clearly；further
C．more clearly；farther D．clearer；further
【分析】神舟十三号拍摄的照片比地球上的照片清晰得多。它们使进一步的研究有意义。

故选：D。
10．﹣Would you please not smoke here？Look at the sign．
﹣________．（ ）
A．No，I will B．Yes，I will
C．Sorry，I will D．Sorry，I won't
【分析】你能不能别在这儿抽烟？看这个牌子．对不起，我将不会的．
【解答】A不，我将会。B是的，我要。C对不起，我要。D对不起，我将不会了；根据前句句意"你能不能别在这儿抽烟？看这个牌子"可知，要回答"对不起，我将不会了"，其它选项语意不通，或不符合英语交际习惯．

One day，my mother was sewing a quilt （被子） I silently sat beside her and looked at her. "Mum，may I ask you a question？" I said."What？" she replied，still doing her work."Is there love between you and Dad？" I asked her in a very low voice.My mother stopped her work and looked at me in surprise.She didn't answer my question at once.Then，she bowed her head and continued to do her work.
I was afraid that I had hut her feelings，I felt so embarrassed that I didn't know what to do.But at last I heard my mother say the following words：Look at this thread（线）.Sometimes it appears，but most of the time，it hides in the quilt.The thread really makes the quilt strong durable.If life is a quilt，then love should be a thread.It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime，but it's really there.

Dear Principal Becker，

you this letter because I really have something to say about the school lunchtime.
Well，I know that school is for leaning.It is important to have 80 reading and Maths skills But I think school is also important for another reason.It helps people to learn to get along with others.
It may seem that lunchtime is not important.As you see，lots of us spend most lunchtime just talking with our friends.But this activity is more important than it looks.I'm learning how to get along with others.I'm learning how to solve problems.
I'm finding ou new things from others.I am learning how to say sorry.These are all important skills to learn.My problem is that the time for lunch keeps getting shorter.I know this is happening so we can spend more time in leaning.But please do not forget that we are also learning at lunchtime.We are learning people skills.It is important that we have enough time to spend with our friends.
I really hope that you can make our lunchtime longer.A little more time spent with friends each day would benefit everybody.
Yours，
David Brown

（参考答案与详解）
一、单项选择在A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
1．Bob draws___ than I，but he doesn't draw my brother.（ ）
A．better；so good as B．better，so well as
C．worse；as good as D．worse；as well as
【分析】Bob比我画得好，但他不如我哥哥画得好。
【解答】句意：Bob比我画得好，但他不如我哥哥画得好。根据句意可知，第一句是指"比我画得好"，结合空后的than可知，此处用形容词比较级，所以第一个空填better；so...as和as...as都表示"像...一样"，后面的形容词或副词要用原级。此处修饰动词draw，所以应用副词well。
故选：B。
2．Everyone in our class knows he is honest boy and we all believe he says.（ ）
A．a；that B．an；what C．a；what D．an；that
【分析】我们班的每个人都知道他是一个诚实的男孩，我们都相信他说的话。
【解答】分析句子可知，第一空，表泛指，且honest是以元音音素开头的单词，其前应使用不定冠词an修饰；由"we all believe...says."可知，这是一个宾语从句，缺少逻辑宾语，因此使用what引导，符合语境；what he says"他所说的话"。
故选：B。

一I think it's____，but someone thinks it's .（ ）
A．wonderful enough；boring

故选：A。
4．﹣﹣﹣Jim speaks Japanese well.Who teaches Japanese？
﹣﹣﹣ Nobody.He teaches .（ ）
A．his；himself B．him；him
C．himself；him D．him；himself
【分析】——吉姆日语说得很好。谁教他日语？
——没有人教。他自学。
【解答】his他的，形容词性的物主代词；himself他自己；him他，宾格代词。空一是作动词的宾语，故应用宾格代词him；teach oneself自学，故空二应用himself。
故选：D。
5．__________ great fun we had __________DIY in the art room with our classmates!（ ）
A．What；doing B．What a；to do
C．How；doing D．How；to do
【分析】我们和同学们在美术室里做DIY，真是太有趣了！
【解答】感叹的中心落在名词上，用what引导感叹句：What + a/an + 形容词 + 主语 + 谓语 ！What + 形容词 + 不可数名词 + 主语 + 谓语 ！What + 形容词 + 可数名词复数+ 主语 + 谓语 ！感叹的中心落在形容词或副词上，或整个句子，用how引导感叹句：How + 形容词或副词 + 主语 + 谓语 ！great fun 是不可数名词，所以用what。have fun doing sth表示高兴做某事，第二个空用doing。
故选：A。

【分析】——你最好的朋友什么样？
——好像没有人（比他）更聪明。在我们班里他能很快算出最难的数学题。
【解答】be like好像，怎么样，指人的性格特点等，是固定短语；排除选项AC。cleverer更聪明；smarter更聪明；more hard﹣working更勤奋；more friendly更友好。再根据后句句意"在我们班里他能很快算出最难的数学题"可知，前句为"好像没有人（比他）更聪明"，选项D语意不通，再排除选项D。
故选：B。
7．In northern cities most families central heating（供暖）when fixing their houses because of the cold weather in winter.（ ）
A．put up B．put on C．put in D．put out

A．off；passed B．onto；past

Dear Principal Becker，
I'm David Brown，a student from Grade 8.I'm sitting in the classroom to write
you this letter because I really have something to say about the school lunchtime.
Well，I know that school is for leaning.It is important to have 80 reading and Maths skills But I think school is also important for another reason.It helps people to learn to get along with others.
It may seem that lunchtime is not important.As you see，lots of us spend most lunchtime just talking with our friends.But this activity is more important than it looks.I'm learning how to get along with others.I'm learning how to solve problems.
I'm finding ou new things from others.I am learning how to say sorry.These are all important skills to learn.My problem is that the time for lunch keeps getting shorter.I know this is happening so we can spend more time in leaning.But please do not forget that we are also learning at lunchtime.We are learning people skills.It is important that we have enough time to spend with our friends.
I really hope that you can make our lunchtime longer.A little more time spent with friends each day would benefit everybody.
Yours，

One day，my mother was sewing a quilt （被子） I silently sat beside her and looked at her. "Mum，may I ask you a question？" I said."What？" she replied，still doing her work."Is there love between you and Dad？" I asked her in a very low voice.My mother stopped her work and looked at me in surprise.She didn't answer my question at once.Then，she bowed her head and continued to do her work.
I was afraid that I had hut her feelings，I felt so embarrassed that I didn't know what to do.But at last I heard my mother say the following words：Look at this thread（线）.Sometimes it appears，but most of the time，it hides in the quilt.The thread really makes the quilt strong durable.If life is a quilt，then love should be a thread.It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime，but it's really there.

I like this kind of life." Reading his eyes I know be loves my mother deeply.

A.We should understand our parents.
B.Love is inside，making life strong and warm.

【分析】文章通过一个温情的故事描述了父母之间的爱。母亲把爱比喻成缝被子的线，时隐时现，并不是一直表现在外。文章告诉我们真正的爱是相濡以沫，平平淡淡。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据Sometimes I really doubt（怀疑）whether there is love between my parents.（有时我真的怀疑我的父母之间是否有爱。）以及For them，"I love you" is too difficult to say.Even sending flowers to each other on some special days is hardly ever seen.（对他们来说，说"我爱你"太难了。甚至在一些特殊的日子互相送花也很少见到。）可知作者有时会怀疑她的父母之间是否有真爱，因为他们很少表达对彼此的爱。故选D。
