八年级英语试题
一、阅读理解
A
In the city of Zhengzhou, there is a hot pot restaurant called Shengyousheng. It is doing something very special. It gives jobs to people who are hearing-impaired—that means they can’t hear well or at all.
About half of the workers there have difficulty in hearing. A 31-year-old man, Deng Wei, works as the kitchen manager (经理). He makes about 4,000 yuan each month and says he enjoys working in a quiet and friendly place.
Shengyousheng is a self-service hot pot restaurant. Customers choose their own food and make their own sauces (调味汁), so there’s not much need to talk. This makes it easy for hearing-impaired workers to do their jobs. To help with communication, the restaurant uses big posters on the walls. These posters show simple hand signs, like how to say “thank you” by placing one hand near your chin (下巴) and moving it forward. There are also signs for “food” “hello” and “wait for a while”. Next to each picture, there are easy-to-read words. So customers can understand what the hand signs mean. Each table also has cards and pens. Customers can use them to write to the workers if needed.
Shengyousheng is not only helping people with hearing problems find jobs, but also showing everyone that kindness, patience, and respect are just as important as words. It’s a restaurant full of good food and big hearts.

However, this simple but clever design is not just a lantern: it pushes technology forward.

1. In the deep mountains of Xiji County, Ningxia, something special is growing. This place was once called by the UN “one of the worst places for people to live in.” But here, not only do tough plants grow, but also a rich “harvest” of literature. In this land, there are fewer than 500,000 people. But more than 1,600 of them love to write. Among them is a 20-year-old girl named Liu Yixue, whose story is changing the meaning of strength.
2. Born in 2006 with a brain condition (脑部疾病) that affects her movement, Liu Yixue has faced physical limits (身体限制) since childhood. She walks more slowly than others, has difficulty speaking, and must use great strength just to hold a pen. Yet, she has never stopped moving forward.
3. “I can’t go everywhere, but books can; my body can’t reach faraway places, but words can,” her father once told her. These words became the brightest light in her life. While her body is kept in a small space, literature carries her across mountains and seas. She travels with San Mao to the Sahara, thinks about life and death with Shi Tiesheng among the fallen leaves of the Temple of Earth, and feels the joys and sorrows of old times through Lu Xun’s writings.
4. Turning her pain into writing, Liu Yixue has published over ten works, including My School and The Mother Flower That Never Fades, in local literary magazines. She has also started a personal social media account to read and share her favorite articles, using her real voice to reach out to the world.
5. “I am a child surrounded by love,” she says. The kindness of her family, the support of her teachers, and the warm actions of strangers have built a safety net that holds her up. Inspired by fellow Xiji writer Ma Jun, who won a national literary award while fighting a serious spine (脊椎) problem, Liu Yixue believes that physical disability (身体残疾) is not a stop sign in life, but the beginning of a special song.
6. “Even now, I still walk very slowly, and I have to repeat myself several times to be understood,” she admits. “But my heart is filled with the whole starry sky.” In Xiji, Liu Yixue is not just a girl with a disability; she is proof that one can create a great work of literature (文学).
11. What does the author mean by saying Liu Yixue’s story is “changing the meaning of strength”
A．Strength means being able to walk fast and speak clearly.
B．Strength means winning a national literary award like Ma Jun.
C．Strength means ignoring all physical problems.
D．Strength no longer only means physical power, but also the power of spirit and words.
12. What can we infer from the father’s words, “I can’t go everywhere, but books can”
A．The father regrets not traveling when he was young.
B．The father believes physical disability is a stop sign in life.

A．She is surrounded by love and finds strength in books and writing.
B．She gets a lot of money from the government.
C．She was born with a natural talent for writing.
D．She wants to become richer than others in her county.
15. If Liu Yixue were invited to speak at a school for students with physical disabilities, which message would she most likely share
A．“Only those who can walk fast can achieve great things.”
B．“You should try to hide your disability from others.”
C．“Physical limits cannot stop you if your heart is full of dreams and love.”
D．“Writing is the only way to become successful in life.”

My father is a quiet and reserved (内敛的) man. He has his opinions, but he usually keeps them to himself. Don’t get me wrong. If you ask him for advice, he is always willing to share his wisdom with you. But he goes about his business without too much fuss (张扬).
There is one thing though that really gets him excited. Just mention the word “garbage” to him! He is passionate (热情的) about garbage. Or should I say, he is passionate about solving the garbage problem!
Dad believes that time is running out as far as garbage goes. “We have become a ‘throw-away’ society,” he says. “We buy and buy, and then we throw it away. We can’t keep doing this. Garbage is everybody’s problem.”
My father doesn’t just talk about it though. When he sees a problem, he tries to find a solution.
Last year, my father decided to do something about all the wasted food we were throwing away. An average family produces nearly 500 pounds of food waste each year. We peel our potatoes and throw away the skins. We eat an apple and throw away the core. Imagine how that piles up (堆积) in our landfill sites!
Don’t worry, though. There is something that we can do about it. Food waste is known as “organic matter” (有机物). If properly handled, it can be changed from garbage to a rich, dark earth known as compost (堆肥). This compost can be added to vegetable gardens to make the plants grow really well.
“We are going to start composting our food waste,” Dad announced one night at dinner. “I purchased a compost bin today. From now on, instead of throwing all our food waste in the garbage, we will put it in the compost bin. Mother Nature will slowly turn it from garbage into earth. In a few months, we will have a rich and beautiful compost material to add to our garden.” It took a while to get used to it, but soon, we were taking our food waste to the compost bin in the backyard. In three months, we opened the lid (盖子). We found it full of nutrient-rich (营养丰富的) new earth!

The Long March is one of the most amazing miracles (奇迹) in Chinese history. This long and difficult march started in October 1934 and ended in October 1936, lasting for two whole years.
During the march, the Red Army soldiers faced countless terrible difficulties. They traveled about 25,000 li across China. They crossed dangerous rivers, climbed freezing high snowy mountains, and walked through endless wet grasslands. The living conditions were extremely hard. There was often not enough food or clean water. To keep alive, some soldiers even ate tree bark and wild grass or leather belts. The weather was cruel too — strong cold winds, heavy snow and sudden rain troubled them every day. Besides harsh natural environment, they also faced dangerous wars and enemies along the way. However, the brave soldiers never gave up. They helped each other and kept moving forward with strong faith.
In October 1936, the three main Red Army teams met in Huining, Gansu. It marked the final victory of the Long March.

The popular Chaoshan movie Dear You (《给阿嬷的情书》) has moved lots of people. It tells a real story about qiaopi (侨批)—special letters that carried news and money from Chinese workers abroad to their families back home.
Grandma Shurou waited for her husband Musheng for many years after he left for Southeast Asia. Her grandson Xiaowei went to Thailand, hoping to meet the “wealthy grandpa” he had heard of. But the fact was really sad: Musheng had passed away a long time before.
Then who wrote all those warm letters and sent the money It was a lady called Nanzhi. She was Musheng’s closest friend in Thailand. She knew Ye Shurou and her three kids would live a hard life without help, so Nanzhi made a choice that changed everything. For almost 20 years, she wrote warm letters and sent money using Musheng’s name. She even bought a bicycle and posted it to Ye Shurou, to keep an old promise. Nanzhi was not rich—she only had a small roadside shop, but she never stopped giving help.
The movie’s name comes from one sentence in those letters: “A letter can fill the distance between mountains and seas”. These words show that true kindness and commitment (承诺) don’t need praise. Over 30 million qiaopi were collected between 1864 and 1980. And they were put into UNESCO’s (联合国教科文组织) Memory of the World Register (世界记忆名录) in 2013.

Together We Made It
In the relay race, every runner tries their best and passes the stick carefully to teammates. No one can win the race alone.
Teamwork really matters in our daily life. Last term, our class prepared an English performance. At first, everyone worked separately and the result was bad. Later we communicated, divided tasks and helped each other. Finally, we got great praise.
Cooperation makes weak power strong. When we face difficulties, working together helps us solve problems better. As the saying goes, many hands make light work. Only by supporting each other can we achieve our goals.
