浙江省外研版初中英语八年级上学期期中考试模拟试卷（15）

    Five years ago, we met in a shopping centre. I was walking through the shops when I saw1. She followed me to my house. 2we became friends.

    At one time, she3her leg and had to go to hospital. I looked after her every day. I made4for her. I was not good at cooking, but she didn't5 at all. At that time, nothing was more enjoyable than seeing her become6.

    She is quite different from me. I like writing and reading, but she loves outdoor activities. She likes playing balls best. Sometimes, I7her to pass balls. It's never a8game for us. She likes it very much.

    She will run all around the house to lick(舔) my face if someone9"Kiss for Dad". That is the only10she knows me by-Dad, though I call her by many names-Pickle, Missile and Little. But her real name is Pixar. Pixar is my dog and this week she turns six years old.

    A school bus is a kind of bus designed(设计) for student transport：carrying children and teenagers to and from school. So safety(安全) is very important. We should have the same logo(标志) on the school bus and colour it yellow so that people can see it from far away. People design everything on the bus to keep the students safe. For example, we can push the windows easily and the computer can ask the student to wear the seat belt when the student sits on the seat. There is at least one teacher to look after the students on the bus. When the students get on or get off the bus, the driver should use the lights to tell other cars, and then the other cars can wait until the students are safe. When a school bus is on the way, we can know where it is and what happens to it on the computer.

    In a word, we must find ways to make sure the traffic safety is the first priority.

    New York is a very large city with 8 million people. How do so many people move on their way to work and school? So, we should know something about its transport.

    In New York you can travel around the city by subway, by bus, by taxi and by car. The subway runs on the railroad lines under the city. It crosses the city at different points and goes to all parts of the city. Travelling by subway is the fastest way to get around the city. The second way to travel around the city is by bus. It's a slower way to travel. This is because the bus moves in road traffic which is often heavy. You can also travel around the city by taxi. This is the most expensive way, but the taxi will take you to the very place you want to go to. If the traffic is heavy, the taxi will be slow. During the mornings and afternoons, there is the rush hour. This is the time when the traffic is very heavy with people going to and from work.

    The last way to get around New York is using your own car. However, it's not easy for you to drive, especially when you are driving in the rush hour. If there is an accident on the road, you will have to wait for a long time. The best time to travel around the city is from 9：00 am to 4：00 pm. This is the time after the morning rush hour and before the evening rush hour. Traffic will be less crowded because most people are already at school or at work.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　The　best way of learning English

　　The best way of learning a language is by using it. The best way of learning English is talking in English as much as　possible.Sometimes you will get your words mixed up and people will not understand you.Sometimes people will say things too quickly and you can't understand them. But if you keep your sense of humour, you can always have a good laugh at the mistakes. Don't be unhappy if people seem to be laughing at your mistakes. It is much better for people to be laughing at your mistakes than to be angry because they don't understand what you are saying.The most important rule for learning English is,“Don't be afraid of making mistakes; everyone make mistakes.”
