(天津名校真题)

（22-23八年级下·天津滨海新·期末）Simon is an English teacher from Washington. Meg is his student.

One day, in Simon’s class, all students were writing compositions (作文), but Meg was sleeping. Simon found that, but he said nothing about it, and let the girl sleep through the class. Simon knew Meg was tired, because she had a lot of farm work to do at home.

Simon did an activity in his class called “A Smile or a Frown (皱眉)”. He asked his students to share a good or bad thing in their lives every day. Simon knew Meg very well from the activity.

We got to the clean, lovely city of Yangzhou by air early in the morning. This is our first trip to China. We have heard of the local delicious food before we came. We are going to try something amazing for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is very clean and not expensive. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city.

Wednesday, April 27th

We visited many places of interest. And we could see lots of visitors from all over the world. Everything here is so colorful. We have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will buy some gifts back for our friends and take the night train to Beijing. We plan to stay in Beijing for two days and then catch a bus to the Great Wall.

Saturday, April 30th

Our trip to the Great Wall was long but not boring. On the way, we walked into a small village in the mountains. I love the quiet life there. And I love the kindest villagers as well. They always smile and say “Hello” to us. Ralph and I can only speak a few words of Chinese, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. Climbing the Great Wall made us tired but excited. A Chinese saying “He who doesn’t reach the Great Wall is not a true man” encouraged us to get to the destination (终点).

（21-22八年级下·天津和平·期末）Zombies（僵尸）are real! You meet them every day on the sidewalk. They walk slowly, with their heads down and they will not look at you. They are living in a different world, a world of the mobile phone!

Many people are complaining about these mobile phone zombies because they walk slowly, making it difficult for other people to use the sidewalk. Chongqing and a few other cities have come up with an idea to try to solve the problem. They’ve divided up sidewalks into lanes（线 路）: one lane for mobile-zombies and one lane for everyone else. The experiment hasn’t worked out very well, since most mobile-zombies don’t even notice the lanes.

I have another suggestion for the problem. In Shanghai, we have blind paths. They are made of small raised tiles（凸起的瓷砖）that help blind people follow a straight line. Perhaps the same way could be used for mobile-zombies. A lane with a rough surface would allow people to concentrate on their mobile phones and still know they are walking in a straight line. Of course, I have further advice. At the end of the lane would be a large hole where all the mobile-zombies would disappear into the center of the earth!

Well, I don’t think my advice is going to be taken, but I don’t think special lanes for mobile-zombies will work out either. I think it’s just a better idea to remind people that sidewalks are shared space and they should think of others when they are using their mobile phones.

11．According to the passage, who are mobile phone zombies?

A．The people who walk slowly.

B．The people who always play with mobile phones on the road.

C．The people who live in a different world.

D．The real zombies.

12．Why hasn’t the lane for mobile-zombies in Chongqing worked out well?

A．Because it is too expensive to walk on the lanes.

B．Because there are so few lanes in Chongqing.

C．Because few mobile-zombies notice the lanes in fact.

D．Because they have blind paths.
