jenny sanders，a high school student in california，asks，“what good do we get from learning math？we can use computers to compute numbers，and we can use computers to store information. i think learning math at school is a waste of time.” however，there is much more to math than just learning to add and subtract(减) numbers. in fact，math is not so much about calculation (计算) as it is about learning to think logically (逻辑地) and solving problems. of course，jenny was right that we can use computers to do calculations，but how would we even know how to use the computer if we cant think logically？in short，computers are only tools when solving problems. for example，imagine you are a cook and must serve dinner to 100 guests. how should you divide (分)your resources so that you can get the job done most efficiently (高效地)？in situations like this，the ability to think logically will get you to a reasonable answer and solve your problem.( )4according to the passage，which subject do students always learn in different grades at school?

first of all, it makes the heart beat faster and increases the blood pressure. the cigarette smoke also reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood. consequently, the heart has to work harder, with less oxygen. finally, your arteries will narrow faster if you smoke.so if you want to reduce your chances of getting heart disease, the answer is easy not to smoke. dont copy your friends and other people who smoke. if you smoke, find out how to stop. stopping isnt easy, but youll be healthier, and ( )8. who is more likely to have heart disease?

if we eat more vegetables and less meat, we will easily get more food. land that is used to grow cropscan feed five times more people that land where animals are kept. the world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control. finally, if we educate people to think about the problems, we shall have a better and cleaner living place in the future. the importance of protecting the environmentproblems1. more fish being caught.2. more _1_ being cut down.3. more waste products being put into rivers.4. more _2_ being born.causesthe world is becoming too_3_.modern methods make the situation worse.resultwe human beings (人类) will not survive on the earth. solutions1. eat more vegetables and less meat so that more food will be available(可以获得的) for everyone.2. use modern methods of_4_ control so that the populationwill not grow too fast. 3. educate people so that the _5_ will be better and cleaner.九、书面表达 (本大题共5分) 请根据所给中文提示，以“my hometown wuxi”为名用英语写一篇短文，向大家介绍。内容要点如下：1. 无锡是由市区、江阴和宜兴组成。它是居住的好地方；2. 无锡有悠久的历史，还有许多名胜；3. 太湖广场是人们工作一天后放松的好地方；4. 如果你来无锡旅游，你可以在南禅寺（nanchan temple）品尝到各种当地的风味小吃；5. 最佳的旅游时间是春天和秋天，因为天气非常舒适；6 我认为我们的家乡注意：1. 文章须包括所有内容要点，要求语句通顺、意思连贯；2. 最句后一点用两句发挥。 学校 班级 姓名 考试号 . 装订线2014-2015学年第二学期八年级英语期中答题卷 一、听力（本大题共20分，每小题1分）1234567891011121314151617181920二、单项填空（本大题共15分，每小题1分）123456789101112131415三、完形填空（本大题共10分，每小题1分）12345678910四、阅读理解（本大题共20分，每小题2分）12345678910五、词汇运用（本大题共8分，每小题1分） (a) 1._ 2._ 3._ 4._ (b) 5._ 6._ 7._ 8._ 六、动词填空（本大题共8分，每小题1分） 1._ 2._ 3._ 4._ 5._ 6._ 7._ 8._ 七、完成句子（本大题共9分，每题1.5分）1.我无法想象他们结婚已经这么多年了。i c
