This was repeated in the following years. In 1950, the town allowed the tomato fight to take place. The festival gained all ages, and now people from different parts of the world, take part in this festival.The most important thing to bring to Tomatina is a change of clothes and it’s best to wear old trainers. For the participants (参与者), the use of goggles (护目镜) is recommended (推荐). There is also no need to buy them in advance as they are available (可以得到的) for 2 euros in the shops all around Bunol. Expensive camera equipment is a big no-no! If you want to take photos, get a disposable (一次性的) water proof camera. It’s best to get there early and get down into the centre of the action as most of the tomatoes are dumped in the centre.At midday exactly, excited crowds grab the tomatoes from the trucks and the world’s biggest tomato fight begins. Neighbours also take part in the battle by throwing buckets of water from their balconies to clean the tomato juice on people’s clothes. After exactly an hour, the fight ends. The whole town square is coloured red and rivers of tomato juice flow freely. Then, fire trucks hose down the streets to remove the tomato bits and juice.After the cleaning, the village stone streets become clean and quiet again.53.Where is Bunol 54.In which year did the Tomatina start 55.Why is it necessary to buy goggles before getting to Bunol 56.How long does the tomato fight last 57.What do fire trucks do after the tomato fight 58.As a tourist, will you take part in such a festival Why Ⅵ.Writing (作文) (共26分)59.Write a passage of at least 60 words about the topic “A short story about...” (以“关于________ 的故事”为题写一篇不少于60词的短文,标点符号不占格)Use the following points as a reference(以下内容仅供参考)1.What/Who is the story about 2.Why do you want to tell us the story ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________21世纪教育网 www.21cnjy.com 精品试卷·第 2 页 (共 2 页)21世纪教育网(www.21cnjy.com)中小学教育资源及组卷应用平台2024-2025学年八年级英语上学期期末押题卷(上海专用)(考试时间:90分钟 试卷满分:110分)注意事项:1.本试卷分第Ⅰ卷(选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)两部分。答卷前,考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。2.回答第Ⅰ卷时,选出每小题答案后,用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动,用橡皮擦干净后,再选涂其他答案标号。写在本试卷上无效。3.回答第Ⅱ卷时,将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。4.测试范围:八年级上册。5. 难度系数:0.65。6.考试结束后,将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。Part 1 Grammar and Vocabulary(第一部分 语法和词汇)I.
