人教版2019-2020学年八年级上学期英语期中考试试卷C卷姓名:_ 班级:_ 成绩:_一、 阅读理解。 (共3题；共24分)1. （6分） The mystery stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle are famous all over the world.The detective in his stories is called Sherlock Holmes. He solves mysteries in a most surprising way. His assistant, Dr Watson, watches with admiration and then writes up the story of the mystery afterwards.This is a useful story writing skill. Because Watson is not very clever, the story remains a mystery until the end. The readers can sometimes pick up some clues before he does! Then, to make Watson understand the mystery, Holmes has to explain it all, step by step. So we, the readers, get to see it step by step too. Watson is almost as good a character in the story as Sherlock Holmes!The very first time they meet, Holmes greatly surprises Watson. When they are first introduced, Holmes says to Watson, How do you do? I see you have been to Afghanistan(阿富汗).Watson is too amazed by this to ask Holmes how he knows this. Watson has, indeed, been to Afghanistan. Later, he asks Holmes about it. Holmes explains that there is nothing magical about what he does. He gets to know it all by very, very careful observation(观察).Observation OneWatson was introduced to Holmes as a doctor. Yet Holmes thought that the way he stood and walked made him seem like a soldier. So, this meant he was probably an army doctor.Observation TwoWatsons face was quite dark skinned. But his wrists were pale. So his dark face was probably sun burnt. This meant that he had been to a hot, sunny country.Observation ThreeAt the time, the British army had soldiers at bases in many parts of the world. So there were still a lot of places to choose from. However, Holmes saw that Watson looked very tired and he was always holding his left arm, as if it was painful. So, he had probably been with the army to a place where they were fighting. There was only one place where the British army was fighting at that time: Afghanistan.（1）The writer most probably created the character, Dr Watson, to _.A . give Holmes help when solving mysteriesB . show Holmes careful observationC . help readers pick up some clues about the mysteryD . get readers to see the mystery step by step（2）The first time they meet, _.A . Holmes explains how he knows Watson has been to AfghanistanB . Holmes surprises Watson by telling that he has been to AfghanistanC . Watson tells Holmes he has been to AfghanistanD . Watson asks Holmes how he knows he has been to Afghanistan（3）From the passage we know that the British army _ at that time.A . only had soldiers in AfghanistanB . had many army doctors at bases in many parts of the worldC . was fighting with several countriesD . was fighting with Afghanistan2. （10分）阅读理解In some science fiction movies, evil robots refuse to die, no matter how hard people fight back.Now science fiction has become science fact. For the first time, scientists have made a robot that can take a beating (挨打) and keep on going. Scientists from Cornell University made the robot, which looks like a spider with four legs.Until now, even the most advanced (先进的) robot was almost certain to break down when it was damaged. That is because its computer inside simply doesnt know how to make the machine work after its shape has changed.To deal with this problem, the scientists put eight motors (发动机) and two sensors (传感器) that read how the machine is working. They all give signals to the machines software. Using this information, the computer can then figure out the machines shape at any moment.The new technology is a big advance in robot-making, scientists say, and its far from scary. It may someday help scientists create better artificial (假的) arms and legs and give new freedom to people who lose them. It might also help scientists understand how people and animals figure out their own sense of place in space.“It has been difficult to design robots that can work well when the environment changes or when its damaged,” says Olaf Sporns of Indiana University in US. “With this work, we are nearer to solving this problem.”（1）Why do robots easily break down when they are damaged? A . They cannot repair themselves.B . The computer has changed a lot.C . They have no computers inside.D . The computer cannot work if the robot changes.（2）The new technology allows the robot to _. A . do house work for humansB . keep working after being damagedC . remember a lot of informationD . tell people where it is（3）The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refers to _. A . sensorsB . robotsC . arms and legsD . scientists（4）How do the sensors in the robot work? A . They can replace the computer when its broken.B . They can find out where the damage comes from.C . They help the computer learn the robots condition.D . They can send signals to the person who uses the robot.（5）The passage is probably from_. A . a newspaperB . an advertisementC . a tour guideD . an application3. （8分）阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。(A)In Britain, children go to school from Monday to Friday.
