2024-2025學年遼寧省大連市名校聯盟八年級（上）第一次月考英語試卷

一、閱讀理解。第一節(jié)，閱讀下面語言材料，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。

• 1．The epidemic（疫情） has changed our lives.It not only forces us to stay at home，but also changes the way we work ，study，and even go shoppjye.aig.In many countries，the COVID-19 has also changed the way people greet each other.To stop the spread of disease，people give up their usual greeting styles and invent safe ways.Let's take a look !
     Lean forward，touch cheeks and make a kissing sound.This is French people's favorite way of greeting.It's very romantic（浪漫的）.But when facing the virus，kisses are not good.The expert Philippe Lichtfus gives people a suggestion：simply looking into a person's eyes can be a greeting.Ii's not so romantic but it's safe.
     Like the French ，Italians are also romantic people.When they meet，they always hug or kiss each other.Recently ，an Italian grandma made a video to help everyone fight against the disease.She says that if you meet，you can close one of your eyes and give them a wink.Isn't it cute？
  It's a very Australian thing to shake hands.But if you do this，the virus can jump from one person to another.Now a health official in Australia says a pat on the back would be better.But it also has some problems.For example ，it's a bit crude if you do this to your teachers.
     A video shows that an interesting greeting way is now popular in Iran.In the video，3 Iranians meet and tap their feet against each other.They wear masks with their hands in their pockets.It looks like they are playing a fun game.If we can't shake hands，why not try to "shake" feet？
  
  （1）Why do people give up their usual greeting styles nowadays ？

  
  A．To make life more interesting.
  B．To change their study way.
  C．To protect themselves from the disease.
  D．To invent some new things.

• 3．

  School is starting soon.Last year I bullied （欺負） a boy.（I'm a girl.）I attacked him even though he's stronger because I knew he wouldn't hit a girl.I want to apologize but I don't know how.I feel bad for doing this.He doesn't trust me.How should I show him I have changed？                                                                                                                                       Lily     Firstly，be proud of yourself for changing.It's not easy to admit（承認） that you bullied someone or to stop once you start.     Offering an apology to someone bullied is a great first step toward starting over.If you can，tell him， "I want to apologize for my actions last year." Speaking from the heart can help，tell him， "I feel really bad for what I did.It's been on my mind all summer."     People who are bullied often have difficulty trusting others，especially the people who bullied them in the past.So don't expect the other person to accept your apology easily.     Secondly，be patient.It will take time.You've probably heard that " actions speak louder than words".So after offering words of an apology，you then need to show him that you've really changed：be kind and helpful to him.     Thirdly，you should remember：First，what you're doing takes courage and you can be proud of the fact that your are taking real steps to change.Second，whatever happens，you're building some good skills and learning more about yourself and the kind of person you want to be.

  .
  A.stay away from him or her.
