2024-2025学年（上）保亭黎族苗族自治县八年级质量检测英语

1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

“If you are going to get anywhere in life, you have to read a lot of books.” Roald Dahl once said.1.阅读在我们生活中扮演着重要的角色, and no one can live without books. People always get what they want from the books. When people ask Elon Musk, the founder of Space X, how he learned to build rockets, he says, “I read books.” So 2.你想从书中学到什么呢?   Maybe you want to learn how to paint, or speak a new language? Maybe you want to learn how to stop procrastinating(拖延)? Or you want to know how to change your life? No matter(无论) what it is, reading can help.

3.One great thing about reading is that it can exercise your mind. When you are reading, your brain is working and it becomes active(积极的). Our brains have a “use it or lose it” rule. If we don’t exercise our minds too often, they may not give you useful information when necessary.

Reading is good for your memory(记忆), too. When you are reading detective fiction(侦探小说), for example, you’ll find it hard to understand the story if you can’t remember all the details(细节), so it is good exercise for your memory. 4.The more you read, the better memory you will have.

What’s more, reading makes you more confident(自信的), because reading can make you more knowledgeable—5.you can always have something interesting to talk about!

So what are you waiting for?

21、   My teacher said to a student, “Give me your phone.”

We all looked in surprise. Kyle, a student who I never saw text in class, gave the teacher his phone.

When the teacher left, two students who I often saw text in class started boasting(吹嘘) about how they sent text messages and never got caught.

“Kyle, you stupid! I put my phone under my desk so it looks like I'm looking at my textbooks，” one of them said.

“Isn't it funny that we always text and never get caught？” the other one laughed.

They must have thought they were smart, because they never got caught and Kyle did. But which situation is worse: getting caught, or getting away with it? Rules are there for a reason.

These two students might not get caught, but neither of them had good grades. They didn't pay any attention to the class, and I think they will keep doing this.

People don't just break big rules and get thrown into jail(监狱) overnight. They take it one step at a time. Kyle might have gotten caught, but at least he learned a good lesson. He will not break the rules in the future, so he will learn more in class and stay out of trouble. It's smarter not to break small rules.

【1】Why did the teacher ask Kyle to give up his phone?

A.She wanted to find out what Kyle just texted.

B.Kyle was playing with his phone in class.
