阅读理解CD篇 （22-23八年级下·江苏镇江·期末） One day, I took an underground to work, I saw something that made me very sad. On the tube (underground in London), a mother kept looking at her phone screen and playing a game with her daughter sitting beside her. The little girl, about 5 years old, was talking to her mother about her day, repeating the next stop’s name cheerfully, praising her mother’s long nails—trying to draw her mother’s attention. Her mother just nodded and mumbled “Mm, hm” with her eyes glued to the screen, busy passing the levels of the game. I watched the girl give a final try to at least get her mum to look at her, but it was no use. Then the little girl turned silent. It was a shame the mother didn’t notice that. It broke my heart and got me wondering—what kind of game would make the mother forget she has the most beautiful thing in the world, the human she created, the person she loves with all her heart? What it meant when she couldn’t look into her daughter’s eyes and even stop to listen to the girl? Some parents are almost like the teenagers, always on their phones with mindless games or going through Facebook. Perhaps parents have many things to deal with, but sometimes they are everything to their kids. This is not an isolated example. I’ve seen too many such examples. I might not be a parent myself, and probably still have a long way before becoming one, but I know what I saw isn’t right. The scene used to be seen among teenagers very often when parents complained how their children were crazy about their mobile phones. Look how the situation has changed! The parents have become “technology slaves”, that is to say, they can’t control themselves while using mobile phones. Now some middle-aged parents hold the best iPhones or Samsung phones, which are probably the only two brands they know. They are playing the simple games with so expensive mobile phones. I’m uncertain whether to laugh or to cry. But my hope is that this storm passes. 1．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The girl failed to attract her mother’s attention. B．The mother felt sorry after her daughter turned silent. C．The writer has much experience about being a parent. D．Middle-aged parents know many brands of mobile phones. 2．The underlined word “isolated” in Paragraph 4 means _________. A．spreading fast B．happening once C．increasing quickly D．appearing suddenly 3．In the passage, the writer mainly wants to express _________. A．the worries that children are crazy about mobile phones B．the happiness that parents are now able to use modern technology C．the sadness that the best smart pldones cost parents too much money D．the hope that parents use new technology like smart phones properly 4．What’s the best title of the passage? A．Middle-aged parents B．A scene on the tube C．Technology slaves D．Mindless phone games 二 （22-23八年级下·江苏盐城·期末）The next day I looked for a pen and some paper among my things. I made two lists: one of all the bad things about my situation, and the other of all the good things. BAD I am alone. There is nobody here to talk to or to help me. I have no warm clothes. I don’t have much protection against wild animals. GOOD I survive the terrible storm. I am alive. It’s hot here, so I don’t need warm clothes. There aren’t any wild animals here. I can live well because I was able to save a lot of useful things from the ship. Sometimes it rained all day, so I had to stay inside. It was hard to read or write because the house was dark and I didn’t have candles. Then I remembered in Africa people made lamps using the fat of animals. I did the same. They didn’t give much light, but they were better than nothing. I looked at my lists and I thought, “These lists show something important. We can always find something good in a bad situation if we look for it. I must stop feeling sad and sorry for myself. My new life is here, on this island. I must make it as comfortable as I can.” I started by making my house stronger. I built thick walls and put branches on the roof to keep out the rain. I put up some shelves and I put my things on them. I made some furniture—two tables and a chair. They weren’t very beautiful but they were very useful. I made a small cave at the back of my house. It was cool and a good place to keep food. I called it my “kitchen”. Time passed quickly because I was always busy. In the mornings I went for a walk in the woods and hills with my dog. I caught birds and small animals for food. When I came back, I worked until about 11 o’clock. Then I prepared something to eat. I rested between midday and 2 o’clock because it was very hot. In the evenings I did some more work or I took out my pen and wrote about my life on the island. At 7 o’clock, I went to bed as it got dark early on the island. 5．Where did the story take place? A．On an island. B．In a small cave. C．At the back of a house. D．On the shelves. 6．Which of the following is a bad thing to “me”? A．I survive the terrible storm. B．I don’t need any warm clothes. C．There aren’t wild animals here. D．No one comes and helps me. 7．What does the underlined word “roof” mean? A．The top of a house. B．A piece of furniture. C．A shelf to put things on. D．The place to keep food. 8．Which of the following is True according to the passage? A．I made some beautiful and useful furniture. B．I made a cave to keep myself from the rain.

D．One can try to find something good in a bad situation. 三 （22-23八年级下·江苏南通·期末）As a teenager, you may sometimes feel helpless when having problems with your parents. Chen Zanzao, a 17-year-old boy from Shenzhen, has created a charity community called Dear Theodosia to offer professional help to families facing similar issues. It now has 2000 regular participants(定期参与者). Chen’s idea was inspired(启发) by the three-child policy. “My friend Sina and I thought it would bring problems like parental favoritism(父母偏心),” Chen said. “Most families still don’t know any methods to deal with this.” They started to research both scientific parenting styles and people’s needs. They read a lot of literature and studies on the topic and surveyed more than 1,000 people. They found that the most effective and healthy family relationships are when parents are highly engaged(参与的) in their children’s lives. They then founded the community to promote(推广) the idea. “We hold lectures and discussions as well as go on radio and TV programs to promote useful information,” Chen said. Chen and his friend Sina would do one-to-one conversations with people who felt self-conscious(难为情的) about sharing their stories. “It’s understandable that at first they need time to trust us since we are so young,” Chen said. “But listening is the key.” “We met many parents saying, ‘I never realized raising a child would be so difficult’, so I think it’s really important that parents should think over whether they could take the responsibility before they rush into anything.” 10．What made Chen Zanzao start the charity community called Dear Theodosia? A．He wanted to collect methods to solve his family problems. B．He was once supported by a charity community. C．He once experienced parental favoritism. D．He thought the three-child policy in China may bring family problems. 11．In what way does Chen help many parents? A．He encourages them to read some studies on family relationships. B．He holds one-to-one conversations with people and gives advice. C．He helps self-conscious people speak about their stories in public. D．He gives lectures to children about how to listen carefully to parents. 12．What advice might Chen give to those planning to be parents? A．Worrying enough can help them become good parents. B．They should be responsible for everything their children do. C．They should fully consider whether they are ready to have a child. D．They should raise more children though it’s more difficult for them. 四 （22-23八年级下·江苏泰州·期末）In Chinese, what word do you usually use to call your mother? It’s “Mama”, isn’t it? And as you know, in America, kids call their mother “Mom” or “Mommy”. In French, the word is “Maman”, and in Arabic(阿拉伯语), it’s “Ummi”. Have you noticed that these words for “mother” all have a sound close to “m”? Similarly, the words for “father” almost all have the sound “b” or “p”. There are over 7,000 languages around the world. The words for other things are usually very different from one language to another. But why are the words for “mother” and “father” so similar? The answer lies in how babies start to talk. The easiest sound a baby can make is “ah”. A child can make this sound without the use of his tongue(舌头) or lips (嘴唇). Then, if he is going to change things a little bit, the easiest thing to do is to break up that sound by closing his lips for a while. The child, by this point, has long been doing this to suck(吸吮) milk. And so, the baby makes the sound “mah”. In fact, babies “speaking” in this way are just playing. Adults, however, don’t think so. When a baby says “mah mah”, it sounds as if(好似) he is calling someone. And the person is most likely(可能) to be his mother. The mother takes “mah” as meaning her. When speaking to her baby, she calls herself “mama”. The word “mama” starts to mean “mother”. This happens with human babies worldwide. After babies begin making “m” by putting their lips together, they pick up the sound “bah” or “pah” in a similar way. When they make this sound, they are thought to be calling their second closest person: their father. In this way, you call your mother “mama”, and your father “baba”. In fact, you have been doing this ever since you started to make sounds. 13．Paragraph(段落) 1 shows the words for “mother” in different countries sound similar by ________. A．doing a survey B．repeating information C．giving examples D．describing differences 14．If we want to understand why the words for “mother” and “father” sound similar, we should know ________. A．the way babies start to talk B．the languages around the world C．the meanings of “mah” and “bah” ​​​ D．the difference between “mah” and “bah” 15．The babies’ original (最初的) purpose of saying “mah” is to ________. A．start to talk B．call his mother C．play in this way D．ask his mother for help 16．In order to make the sound “bah”, babies have to________. A．open their lips all the time B．see their fathers C．use neither their tongue nor lips D．put their lips together 17．What can be the best title for the passage? A．Babies’ talk with their parents B．Words that sound similar C．“Mama” and “baba” worldwide D．Parents’ love for babies 五 （22-23八年级下·江苏扬州·期末）When you want to buy something, do you buy it new or second-hand? These days, buying second-hand items is becoming more popular. Second-hand items are much cheaper than new ones, so people can save money. It’s also good for the environment. In 2023, the mass（质量）of all man-made materials became greater than that of every living thing on Earth. So it’s a better choice to reuse old things. People can even find some “extinct”（绝版的）items, or items that are no longer made. For example,  some people like to buy vintage items, including clothes and accessories（饰品）. These items often go back 30 years or even more. But as long as they’re in good condition, people can still use them. Second-hand items connect people. In this way, they sometimes pass on history and stories. Here are two examples. Zhao Kaiqi, 22, college student, Harbin, Heilongjiang I love buying books on Deja Vu, an online second-hand trading site. It’s a good choice for students like me. I can save a lot of money. It also brings me interesting experiences that I don’t have when I buy new books. One time, I found a note in a second-hand book. Its previous（之前的）owner left the note, hoping that I would enjoy the book. It was heartwarming to read. I want to do something like that in the future. Kate, 25, writer, London, UK I am a big fan of vintage items. They are special. I like items from the 1950s and 1960s. Vintage items carry stories from the past. Once I bought a bracelet（手链）with the words “Rose” and “Love, Jason” inscribed on it. It made me wonder about ▲ . I think looking for vintage items is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

One of the high-lights（亮点）of these flower beds was to make good use of garden waste. One of them was in Tian’anmen Square. Its topic was “Wonderful Winter Olympics”. The five Olympic rings and the snowflake shape were at the bottom of the flower bed. To our surprise, all of these were made from garden waste. This could not only save resources but also bring people more beauty. It was generally praised by the public. Green Olympics is one of the four main ideas of Beijing Winter Olympics. It took more than six years to prepare for the Games. In this process, the designers put the idea of green Olympics into every part. They integrated（融合）green Olympics with the city and its surroundings（环境）. Green Olympics can not only make good use of waste and protect the environment, but also be good for the future development of the city, There’s no doubt that the Winter Olympics theme flower beds, which showed the “simple, safe and wonderful” requirements for the competition, added points to the unique charm（独特魅力）of the “City of the Two Olympics”. As waste is considered as a resource that is put in a wrong place, the designers made the waste in the right place for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games. Besides, thrift（节俭）and hard work are the tradition of the Chinese nation. We also should save energy and make good use of waste in our daily life. 22．What is special about the flower beds?

So far, Faircloth with his daughter Luna along for the ride — has sent 95 RVs to California area wildfire victims (受害者). Otherwise they might wait months for emergency housing (应急居所). ③Faircloth first got the idea for the organization in 2018. Like many that year, the father was touched by the news of California’s deadly Camp Fire that burnt hundreds of homes during Thanksgiving week. The story of a man who lost almost everything but managed to survive the fire in his mobile home impressed Faircloth. Then he asked Luna what she thought about finding an RV and sending it to a family, so they could have a place to call home for Christmas, and she was 100% on board. ④Faircloth started a GoFundMe activity to provide money for the first RV that he and Luna sent to California. As the news of their journey spread, people started reaching out to him, offering to donate their RVs — and from there, EmergencyRV Organization soon formed. All the people think what Faircloth did will make a difference to those in need. It’s hoped that these donations can help more people. ⑤Many of those who receive mobile homes are firefighters. Their tireless work in fighting the fire did not prevent their own homes from burning. One such man is George Wolley, who lost his own home in the Dixie Fire on August 4th. He said, “Before I got that RV, I felt like I was a burden (负担) on everybody that helped me... I slept a lot in tents and in my car. It gave me a place to go.” ⑥Faircloth’s organization continues to grow. He’s thankful for the many things he has and happy to be in a position to help others. 30．EmergencyRV Organization was started to ________.

Since then, the now 35-year-old has practiced numerical control technology (数控技术) and he is crazy about it. He has mastered the skill of making engine cylinders (气缸). “There are over 100 holes in an engine cylinder,” Yang said. “We must be very accurate (精确的)—less than 0.015 millimeter.

It’s just barren land there! So why even call it a town? There are more than 4,000 people of 48 nationalities. However, all of the people live underground! Coober Pedy was set up in 1915, following the discovery of opals(猫眼石). The town is sometimes called the “opal capital of the world,” because it is the largest opal mining(矿) area in the world. Because of the desert climate, people came to realize that while working under the ground was easy, living above it was not. The solution was to move underground, by changing old mines into homes and setting up the world’s first and most likely, only underground town. As years have gone by, the homes have become bigger. There are now also some hotels for tourists. They come from all over the world just to see this unusual town. Coober Pedy is probably best known for its unique style of underground living. While the structures may be located underground, they are in no way worse than those that lie above. Not only do their walls have the color of beautiful red, but also the structures have all the modern equipment like walk-in closets, modern kitchens and televisions. And the town also has gift shops selling opal jewelry, a couple of museums and even a church! Besides, Coober Pedy is also a favourite among filmmakers. And it has appeared in a series of movies such as Pitch Black, Red Planet and Opal Dream. 40．What does the underlined word barren probably mean?

China has followed Western fashion designs in recent years, but a growing number of young people are now looking to the past for fashion ideas. If you look closely around your city, you might notice hanfu, the traditional clothing of the Han dynasty. In a recently published report by an online shopping platform, about 2 million hanfu clothes were sold in 2019, nearly 4 times as many as those sold in 2018. Most of the buyers are between 19 and 24 years old. But why has this traditional clothing become popular with young Chinese people? For some of them, it’s a costume for relaxation. Dafan, a 24-year-old college student, told CGTN that dressing in hanfu is a way for her to get away from the troubles of real life. Modern clothing, on the other hand, represents the identity(身份) people need to show every day. “Hanfu and modern clothing help me to show the different sides in me,” she said. Other teenagers like hanfu because of the culture behind it. They see it as a way to reconnect with traditions. Its wide sleeves, crossed collars and flowing robes bring people back to ancient times. “Hanfu is the symbol of the Chinese traditional culture.” Nanhe, a 21-year-old costume studio owner, told CGTN. 44．According to the passage, about ________ Hanfu clothes were sold in 2018.

However, we don’t always understand it. We think of unlocking our self-improvement power only when everything gets worst. When do we realize that we need to change diets? When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth have fallen off. We see the warning signs when things get difficult. Most of us will learn about unlocking our self-improvement power only when the whole world falls apart. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change. However, change becomes more painful when we pay no attention to it. Change will happen, like it or hate it. At one point or another, we are all going to finally unlock our self-improvement power, not because the world says so, but because we realize it’s good for ourselves. Happy people don’t just accept change; they welcome it. Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change. Jane always tells everyone that she is afraid of being around groups of people. Over the years, that is what Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd come, she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it! If we look at things in a different way, we might have greater fun. Doing exercise three times a week would lead to a healthier life. Reading books every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying the whole process (过程) of unlocking out self-improvement power, we will realize that we can take things light and become happy. 48．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing Paragraph 2? A．To show that health is the most important. B．To explain we will meet trouble in life. C．To tell problems are not realized at times. D．To show we learn lessons when experiencing pain. 49．What advice might be given to help solve Jane’s problem? A．Always believe in herself. B．Unlock herself out of the box of thought. C．Get on with people in a friendly way. D．Count the days until she is fully improved. 50．Which of the following opinions may the writer support? A．Don’t improve ourselves until things get worst. B．People change when they find it easy to do that. C．If you welcome change in life, you’ll make it better. D．Process of self-improvement makes life worse. 51．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Is it important to take things light? B．Is it necessary to believe in yourselves? C．To hold on to the last moment or to give up? D．To unlock ourselves out of the box of thought or to stay in it? 十三 （2022·江苏南通·二模）My mother always told us there is no use crying over spilled milk. That means you should not get angry when something bad happens and cannot be changed. She also told us you have to break some eggs to make an omelet（煎蛋卷）. This means you have to do what is necessary to move forward. My mother believed you are what you eat. A good diet is important for good health. She would always give us healthy food. She liked serving us meat and potatoes for dinner. The meat and potatoes can also mean the most important part of something, so it is used to describe someone who likes simple things. People always said my father was the salt of the earth, because he would never pour salt on a wound, or make someone feel worse about something that was already a bad experience. However, sometimes he told me a story that seemed bigger than life. So I had to take it with a grain（粒）of salt. That is, we could not believe everything he told us. My manager at work does not always know what is going on in our office. Yet she is right about one thing: there is no such thing as a free lunch. Something may appear to be free, but there may be a hidden cost. When we fail to see problems at work, the manager tells us to wake up and smell the coffee. “We need to pay more attention and fix the problem, I once made a big mistake at the office and felt silly. I had egg on my face.” Over the weekend, my friend invited me to watch a football game on television. But I do not like football. It is not my cup of tea. I hope I have given you food for thought, that is, something to think about. 52．When problems came up, the authors mother told them to ________.

Lilliputians soon began to lose their fear of me. They called me the Man-Mountain. Sometimes I lay down and let them dance on my hand, and from time to time children came to play games in my hair. By now I was able to speak their language well. One day the King invited me to watch the regular entertainments, which are greatly enjoyed by him, his family, and his lords and ladies. I was most interested in the rope-dancing. A very thin rope is fixed thirty centimeters above the ground. People who want to become the King’s most important officials jump and dance on this rope, and whoever jumps highest without falling gets the best job. Sometimes the King orders his lords to dance on the rope, to show that they can still do it. This sport is, of course, rather dangerous, and there are occasional deaths as a result. It seems a strange way of choosing officials. There was another interesting entertainment. The King holds a stick in front of him, and sometimes moves it up and down. One by one, people come up to him and jump over the stick or crawl under it. They go on jumping and crawling as the King moves the stick. The winner is the one who jumps and crawls for the longest time, and he receives a blue ribbon to wear round his waist. The second best receives a red ribbon, and the third best gets a green one. Many of the Lilliput lords wear their ribbons proudly at all times. I had certainly never seen entertainment like this in any of the countries I had visited before. —Excerpted from Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift 56．What did the Lilliputians call Gulliver? A．The lady. B．The lord. C．The Man-Dwarf. D．The Man-Mountain. 57．What is the purpose of the rope-dancing competition in Lilliput? A．To have fun. B．To show physical fitness. C．To choose the King’s officials. D．To impress (给……留下印象) Gulliver. 58．What is the prize for winning the stick-jumping competition in Lilliput? A．A job as a King’s official. B．A blue ribbon. C．An invitation to the party. D．A gold medal. 59．What did Gulliver think of the entertainment in Lilliput? A．Surprised. B．Bored. C．Excited. D．Worried. 十四 （21-22八年级下·江苏南通·期末）Sunshine, beaches and coconuts (椰子)—these are why people usually go to Hainan. But more than a paradise (天堂) for travelers and foodies, it’s also a wonderland of plants and animals. Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, in the south-central part of Hainan Island, has the most and well-kept tropical rainforests (热带雨林) in China. President Xi Jinping visited it in April. The national park covers 4,269 square kilometers, or one-seventh of the island. More than 95 percent of the park is virgin (原始状态的) forest and is home to 3,653 species of vascular plants (维管植物) and 540 species of terrestrial vertebrates (陆生脊椎动物). The park is the only habitat (栖息地) of the world’s most endangered primate (灵长类动物)—the Hainan gibbon (长臂猿). It’s an uncommon species (种类). They look like monkeys, but have no tails. They live in the trees their whole lifetimes. Every morning, they whistle loudly to mark their territory (领地). They eat fruits and leaves from more than 130 plants. The number of Hainan gibbons has increased from fewer than 10 in the 1980 s to 36 in 2022. This shows China’s achievements in environmental protection. Not just a sweet home to animals, the park is a “live museum” of amazing plants. More than 400 kinds of plants grow only in Hainan. Cycas hainanensis (海南苏铁) is a wild plant native to the island. With feather-like leaves, this plant can live to be 200 years old. If it lives in the Yangtze River Basin and North China, it grows almost without flowers or fruit. But in Hainan, cycas hainanensis plants over 10 years old blossom (开花) and bear fruit almost every year, thanks to the warm and humid (湿润的) weather. With so many plants and animals, the biodiversity index (生物多样性指数) of the park—a number to rate species diversity—is as high as 6.28. It is comparable (可比较的) to the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. That’s why people call the park a treasure for both China and the world. 60．Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________. A．an introduction to the park B．the views of the park C．the news of the park’s opening D．details of rare plants and animals 61．What do we know about the Hainan gibbon? A．It is a monkey without a tail. B．Its voice sounds like a crying baby. C．It lives on plants and birds. D．It is a species only found in Hainan. 62．From the story, we can infer (推断) that cycas hainanensis ________. A．never blossoms and bears fruit B．can only live for 10 years in Hainan C．lives better in warm and humid weather D．first blossoms when it is 10 years old. 63．Which of the following may be the writer’s opinion? A．We must start to do something for rare species. B．Human activities will do harm to the rainforest. C．China has done a great job in protecting the rainforest. D．We should compare our rainforest with the Amazon rainforest. 十五 （21-22八年级下·江苏苏州·期末）Do you love swimming? How about riding a bike? Does running make you happy? Have you ever combined (混合) the three activities into one race? If you have, then you know all about the triathlon (铁人三项). In February 1974, a group of sports officials gathered in a bar in the Hawaiian Islands to argue: which sports in the world is the most exciting and challenging to test a person's will and strength? Some said it was football, some said it was swimming across the sea, and some said it was long-distance cycling, mountaineering marathons and so on. They expressed their opinions and argued. In the end, Brigadier General John Collins said: who can swim 3.8 kilometers in the rough (风大浪急的) sea in one day, ride a bicycle 180 kilometers around the island, and finally run the 42.195 kilometers Honolulu Marathon. Collins's idea was supported by everyone, so 15 people took part in the game the next day, including one female player. As a result, the race was completed. Such a new type of sports was born in this adventurous situation. After the birth of the Triathlon in Hawaii, it was at first popular only in Hawaii and California, and gradually spread widely in Australia, New, Zealand, Spain, France, the United Kingdom, Japan, and China. A triathlon involves three activities. They are swimming, cycling and running. Competitors (比赛者) race in order as one continuous (连续的) event without resting. The triathlon dates back to the 1920s in France. At that time, a race called "Les Trois Sports" challenged competitors to swim across a river, ride a bike for 12 kilometers and run for three kilometers. The modern triathlon got its start in America in the 1970s. It first appeared in Olympic history at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. The Olympic triathlon consists of (由……组成) a 1.5- kilometer swim, a 40-kilometer bike ride and a 10-kilometer run. If you're not ready for an Olympic triathlon, don't worry. Triathlons come in different lengths. There are mini triathlons designed for beginners. They consists of a 0.8-kilometer swim, a 24.1-kilometer bike ride and a 4.8- kilometer run.

The waiter remembered his experience as a young high school student. So he made sure the teens had a pleasant experience at the restaurant. The waiter made sure of it. After serving all the teens doing a great job, he was left a tip（小费）, only ＄3. 28. That was hardly enough to buy a drink at Starbucks. The waiter went home.

Since we were new to all of this,  reasonable（合乎情理）, but we had completely forgotten（and didn’t know, to be honest）what a tip even was, let alone how much to give.

They lived in a small flat after they got married. Each of them was taking lessons—Joe with a famous art teacher, and Delia with a great pianist from Germany. They were the best teachers, so lessons were expensive, more than they could really afford, but... when you love your art, nothing is too much. And soon the money began to run out and they couldn’t afford the lessons any more. Then one day Delia came home and told Joe that she had met a man.

So I can't work any more. I’m sorry, Joe, but we'll still have money from the man in Vermont, won’t we?” Joe looked at her. “There’s no man in Vermont,” he said. “I haven’t sold any paintings. I’ve been working in a medicine shop, and today someone came from the restaurant to buy bandages fora woman who’d burned her hand. So when I saw you—well, I guessed.” They both laughed. “So we’ve told each other lies,” said Joe. “But when you love your art, ...” Delia put her fingers to his lips. “No, Joe,” she said. “When you love someone, nothing is too much.” 76．Who does the underlined word “They” mean in the passage?

Suddenly, a big steamboat (汽船) came at us very fast. Jim and I jumped off the raft (木筏) into the water. The boat hit the raft and went on up the river. When I came up out of the water, I couldn’t see Jim anywhere. I called out his name again and again, but there was no answer. “He’s dead!” I thought. Slowly, I swam to the side of the river and got out. I was near a big old wooden house. Suddenly, a lot of angry dogs jumped out at me and someone called from the house, “Who’s there?” “George Jackson,” I answered quickly. “I’ve fallen off a river boat.” The people in that house took me in and gave me some new clothes and a good meal. I told them that my family were all dead, so they said I could stay with them as long as I wanted. A few days later, a slave (奴隶) in the house came to me and said, “Come with me!” Together, we went down to some trees by the river. “In there!” he said and went away. On the ground, I found a man, asleep. It was Jim! I was really happy to see him. When the steamboat hit the raft, Jim told me, the raft didn’t crash. Jim swam after it and caught it.

The regulation（规定）says that pedestrians who look at their mobile phones while crossing the road first receive a warning or a fine of 50 yuan if they refuse to correct their behaviour. “The warning is not a simple reminder. It is a legal（合法的） way with a legal punishment notice given to the pedestrians, ” Xing Yi, an official of the government, said. “Those who refuse to cooperate with the traffic police or whose behaviour harms other people will be fined 50 yuan.” Zhou Xin works in a busy area in Tianjin. He says that he gives such punishment three to five times each day, and that most of the time the legal warning is useful. “More and more people look at their mobile phones while crossing roads, which raises the risk of traffic accidents, ” said Yang Yingjun, another official of the government. “The regulation is trying to make people pay more attention to safety when they walk.” Yang said that in 2019, a local university student who was looking at his mobile phone while crossing a road was hit and killed by a large truck. Similar accidents have been reported in many cities, such as Taizhou and Wenzhou, so those cities have similar regulations. Many people have expressed their support for the regulation. “I think heavier fines should be given to people who look at their mobile phones on the road, ” said a netizen. 85．If someone in Tianjin looks at his smartphone while crossing the road, he will _________.

On World Ocean Day, which falls on June 8, the National Geographic Society announced it would recognize(承认)the Southern Ocean in Antarctica(南极洲). Unlike the Arctic, Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans—which are defined by the continents(大陆)around them, the Southern Ocean is instead characterized by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current(南极绕极流). According to National Geographic, the Southern Ocean includes most of the waters surrounding Antarctica out to 60 degrees south latitude(纬度). “It’s reported that it is the only ocean to touch three others and to completely embrace(包围)a continent rather than being embraced by several continents,” Sylvia Earle, an American biologist and oceanographer, told the Daily Mail. Those familiar with the Southern Ocean know it’s unlike any other ocean. “Anyone who has been there will find it difficult to explain what’s so amazing about it, but they’ll all agree that the glaciers(冰川)are bluer, the air colder, the mountains more frightening and the landscapes more attractive than anywhere else you can go,” Seth Sykora-Bodie, a marine scientist, told National Geographic. Because of the different environment of the Southern Ocean, it’s home to thousands of unique species(物种). The ocean also has wider ecological effects. For example, humpback whales are known to feed on small shrimp off Antarctica during the summer before moving north to the warmer climates of Central and South America for the colder winter months, according to the Daily Mail. The National Geographic Society hopes their revised(修订过的)maps will help the public learn more about the area, and it helps to encourage Southern Ocean protection—but its importance is even beyond that. “We think it’s very important from an educational standpoint to bring attention to the Southern Ocean as a fifth ocean,” Alex Tait, a geographer, told the Post. “So when students learn about parts. of the ocean world, they learn it’s an interconnected ocean, and they learn there are these areas called oceans that are really important, and that there’s a special one in the icy waters around Antarctica.” 90．We can learn about these oceans in the Geography class EXCEPT _________. A．the Indian OceanB．the Pacific Ocean C．the Southern Ocean D．the Atlantic Ocean 91．Which of the following is TRUE? A．The Southern Ocean is embraced by the continents. B．The Southern Ocean is much smaller than the others. C．A continent is embraced by the Southern Ocean. D．All the oceans are defined by the continents. 92．What does the underlined word “unique” in the passage mean? A．Special. B．Common. C．Interesting. D．Ancient. 93．What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A．It’s important to learn about the Southern Ocean. B．It’s important to know that there are five oceans. C．It’s necessary to mark the Southern Ocean on the map. D．It’s important and necessary to protect all the oceans. 二十二 （21-22八年级下·江苏无锡·期末）Every human being has about 25, 000 genes（基因）.Your genes are part of your DNA．They give your body instructions on how to develop. For example, if your genes tell your body to build long, thin fingers, then you’ll have long, thin fingers. Your genes come from your parents, and they decide everything about you such as your hair color, your eye color, your weight, your height, and so on. Genes are still a bit of a mystery（神秘）to scientists, but they’re learning new things about them all the time. Do the genes influence（影响）our personalities? People have different ideas. These days, most people agree that the answer to the question is yes. Recent studies have shown that genes especially influence our self-control and our sense of purpose. What is a sense of purpose? If a person really wants to complete something and do well in life, he or she has a sense of purpose. A person who does not care about goals has no sense of purpose. Although scientists agree that our genes influence our personalities, there is another question. How much do they influence us? Can we control ourselves, or do our genes control us? So far, we still don’t really have an answer. Genes also influence your health. If a gene has a problem, it’s called a mutated gene. Some mutated genes can cause diseases. That is why if a person has a certain health problem, his or her child is more likely to have that same problem. As scientists and doctors learn more about genes, they’re also developing a new kind of medicine: gene therapy. Gene therapy means fixing or replacing mutated genes. Scientists are still doing experiments（实验）on gene therapy. It’s possible that in the future, gene therapy will help doctors prevent and cure diseases that are caused by mutated genes. 94．What can we learn from the passage? A．Genes can mostly decide how you look. B．Every human being has the same genes. C．Genes can never be changed after your birth. D．Gene therapy will be the best way to cure diseases. 95．What is a person with a strong sense of purpose like according to the passage? A．He is quite humorous and likes playing jokes with others. B．He is usually polite and gets on well with people around him. C．He is quite serious and doesn’t talk much with other people. D．He is usually hard-working and tries his best to achieve is goals. 96．Which of the following words can best describe gene therapy? A．Successful. B．Hopeless. C．Meaningful. D．Useless. 97．The writing purpose of the passage is________. A．to introduce the recent study on genes B．to explain the secret of genes C．to describe a new kind of medicine D．to show the growth of genes 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！15 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 阅读理解CD篇 一 （22-23八年级下·江苏镇江·期末） One day, I took an underground to work, I saw something that made me very sad. On the tube (underground in London), a mother kept looking at her phone screen and playing a game with her daughter sitting beside her. The little girl, about 5 years old, was talking to her mother about her day, repeating the next stop’s name cheerfully, praising her mother’s long nails—trying to draw her mother’s attention. Her mother just nodded and mumbled “Mm, hm” with her eyes glued to the screen, busy passing the levels of the game. I watched the girl give a final try to at least get her mum to look at her, but it was no use. Then the little girl turned silent. It was a shame the mother didn’t notice that. It broke my heart and got me wondering—what kind of game would make the mother forget she has the most beautiful thing in the world, the human she created, the person she loves with all her heart? What it meant when she couldn’t look into her daughter’s eyes and even stop to listen to the girl? Some parents are almost like the teenagers, always on their phones with mindless games or going through Facebook. Perhaps parents have many things to deal with, but sometimes they are everything to their kids. This is not an isolated example. I’ve seen too many such examples. I might not be a parent myself, and probably still have a long way before becoming one, but I know what I saw isn’t right. The scene used to be seen among teenagers very often when parents complained how their children were crazy about their mobile phones. Look how the situation has changed! The parents have become “technology slaves”, that is to say, they can’t control themselves while using mobile phones. Now some middle-aged parents hold the best iPhones or Samsung phones, which are probably the only two brands they know. They are playing the simple games with so expensive mobile phones. I’m uncertain whether to laugh or to cry. But my hope is that this storm passes. 1．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The girl failed to attract her mother’s attention. B．The mother felt sorry after her daughter turned silent. C．The writer has much experience about being a parent. D．Middle-aged parents know many brands of mobile phones. 2．The underlined word “isolated” in Paragraph 4 means _________.

I made two lists: one of all the bad things about my situation, and the other of all the good things. BAD I am alone. There is nobody here to talk to or to help me. I have no warm clothes. I don’t have much protection against wild animals. GOOD I survive the terrible storm. I am alive. It’s hot here, so I don’t need warm clothes. There aren’t any wild animals here. I can live well because I was able to save a lot of useful things from the ship. Sometimes it rained all day, so I had to stay inside. It was hard to read or write because the house was dark and I didn’t have candles. Then I remembered in Africa people made lamps using the fat of animals. I did the same. They didn’t give much light, but they were better than nothing. I looked at my lists and I thought, “These lists show something important. We can always find something good in a bad situation if we look for it. I must stop feeling sad and sorry for myself. My new life is here, on this island. I must make it as comfortable as I can.” I started by making my house stronger. I built thick walls and put branches on the roof to keep out the rain. I put up some shelves and I put my things on them. I made some furniture—two tables and a chair. They weren’t very beautiful but they were very useful. I made a small cave at the back of my house. It was cool and a good place to keep food. I called it my “kitchen”. Time passed quickly because I was always busy. In the mornings I went for a walk in the woods and hills with my dog. I caught birds and small animals for food. When I came back, I worked until about 11 o’clock. Then I prepared something to eat. I rested between midday and 2 o’clock because it was very hot. In the evenings I did some more work or I took out my pen and wrote about my life on the island. At 7 o’clock, I went to bed as it got dark early on the island. 5．Where did the story take place? A．On an island. B．In a small cave. C．At the back of a house. D．On the shelves. 6．Which of the following is a bad thing to “me”? A．I survive the terrible storm. B．I don’t need any warm clothes.

I built thick walls and put branches on the roof to keep out the rain.”（我一开始就把房子盖得更结实。我建了厚墙，在屋顶上放了树枝来挡雨。）可知，“roof”是屋顶的意思。故选A。 8．细节理解题。根据最后一段“In the mornings I went for a walk in the woods and hills with my dog.”（早上，我带着我的狗在树林和小山上散步。）可知，C项“早上我去树林里散步”表述正确。故选C。 9．推理判断题。根据第一段“The next day I looked for a pen and some paper among my things.

Chen Zanzao, a 17-year-old boy from Shenzhen, has created a charity community called Dear Theodosia to offer professional help to families facing similar issues. It now has 2000 regular participants(定期参与者). Chen’s idea was inspired(启发) by the three-child policy. “My friend Sina and I thought it would bring problems like parental favoritism(父母偏心),” Chen said. “Most families still don’t know any methods to deal with this.” They started to research both scientific parenting styles and people’s needs. They read a lot of literature and studies on the topic and surveyed more than 1,000 people. They found that the most effective and healthy family relationships are when parents are highly engaged(参与的) in their children’s lives. They then founded the community to promote(推广) the idea. “We hold lectures and discussions as well as go on radio and TV programs to promote useful information,” Chen said. Chen and his friend Sina would do one-to-one conversations with people who felt self-conscious(难为情的) about sharing their stories. “It’s understandable that at first they need time to trust us since we are so young,” Chen said. “But listening is the key.” “We met many parents saying, ‘I never realized raising a child would be so difficult’, so I think it’s really important that parents should think over whether they could take the responsibility before they rush into anything.” 10．What made Chen Zanzao start the charity community called Dear Theodosia? A．He wanted to collect methods to solve his family problems. B．He was once supported by a charity community. C．He once experienced parental favoritism.

It’s “Mama”, isn’t it? And as you know, in America, kids call their mother “Mom” or “Mommy”. In French, the word is “Maman”, and in Arabic(阿拉伯语), it’s “Ummi”. Have you noticed that these words for “mother” all have a sound close to “m”? Similarly, the words for “father” almost all have the sound “b” or “p”. There are over 7,000 languages around the world. The words for other things are usually very different from one language to another. But why are the words for “mother” and “father” so similar? The answer lies in how babies start to talk. The easiest sound a baby can make is “ah”. A child can make this sound without the use of his tongue(舌头) or lips (嘴唇). Then, if he is going to change things a little bit, the easiest thing to do is to break up that sound by closing his lips for a while. The child, by this point, has long been doing this to suck(吸吮) milk. And so, the baby makes the sound “mah”. In fact, babies “speaking” in this way are just playing. Adults, however, don’t think so. When a baby says “mah mah”, it sounds as if(好似) he is calling someone. And the person is most likely(可能) to be his mother. The mother takes “mah” as meaning her. When speaking to her baby, she calls herself “mama”. The word “mama” starts to mean “mother”. This happens with human babies worldwide. After babies begin making “m” by putting their lips together, they pick up the sound “bah” or “pah” in a similar way. When they make this sound, they are thought to be calling their second closest person: their father. In this way, you call your mother “mama”, and your father “baba”. In fact, you have been doing this ever since you started to make sounds. 13．Paragraph(段落) 1 shows the words for “mother” in different countries sound similar by ________. A．doing a survey B．repeating information C．giving examples D．describing differences 14．If we want to understand why the words for “mother” and “father” sound similar, we should know ________. A．the way babies start to talk B．the languages around the world C．the meanings of “mah” and “bah” ​​​ D．the difference between “mah” and “bah” 15．The babies’ original (最初的) purpose of saying “mah” is to ________. A．start to talk B．call his mother C．play in this way D．ask his mother for help 16．In order to make the sound “bah”, babies have to________. A．open their lips all the time B．see their fathers C．use neither their tongue nor lips D．put their lips together 17．What can be the best title for the passage? A．Babies’ talk with their parents B．Words that sound similar C．“Mama” and “baba” worldwide D．Parents’ love for babies 【答案】13．C 14．A 15．C 16．D 17．C 【导语】本文介绍了世界上各种语言中“爸爸”与“妈妈”的发音相似的原因。 13．推理判断题。根据“And as you know, in America, kids call their mother ‘Mom’ or ‘Mommy’. In French, the word is ‘Maman’, and in Arabic(阿拉伯语), it’s ‘Ummi’.”可知，此处列举了一些语言中“妈妈”的叫法，由此可知此处是通过举例子来说明不同国家“妈妈”一词的发音相似。故选C。 14．细节理解题。根据“But why are the words for ‘mother’ and ‘father’ so similar? The answer lies in how babies start to talk.”可知，如果我们想要理解各国的“妈妈”和“爸爸”听起来相似的原因，我们应该知道婴儿开始说话的方式。故选A。 15．细节理解题。根据“And so, the baby makes the sound ‘mah’. In fact, babies ‘speaking’ in this way are just playing.”可知，婴儿发“mah”这个音的最初目的就是用这种方式玩。故选C。 16．细节理解题。根据“After babies begin making ‘m’ by putting their lips together, they pick up the sound ‘bah’ or ‘pah’ in a similar way.”可知，当婴儿开始把嘴唇合在一起发出“m”音时，他们也会以类似的方式发出“bah”或“pah”音，所以婴儿需要把嘴唇合在一起发出“bah”音。故选D。 17．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了世界上各种语言中“爸爸”与“妈妈”的发音相似的原因。选项C“世界各地的‘妈妈’和‘爸爸’ ”最适合作为本文的标题。故选C。 五 （22-23八年级下·江苏扬州·期末）When you want to buy something, do you buy it new or second-hand? These days, buying second-hand items is becoming more popular. Second-hand items are much cheaper than new ones, so people can save money. It’s also good for the environment. In 2023, the mass（质量）of all man-made materials became greater than that of every living thing on Earth. So it’s a better choice to reuse old things. People can even find some “extinct”（绝版的）items, or items that are no longer made. For example,  some people like to buy vintage items, including clothes and accessories（饰品）. These items often go back 30 years or even more. But as long as they’re in good condition, people can still use them. Second-hand items connect people. In this way, they sometimes pass on history and stories. Here are two examples. Zhao Kaiqi, 22, college student, Harbin, Heilongjiang I love buying books on Deja Vu, an online second-hand trading site. It’s a good choice for students like me. I can save a lot of money. It also brings me interesting experiences that I don’t have when I buy new books. One time, I found a note in a second-hand book. Its previous（之前的）owner left the note, hoping that I would enjoy the book. It was heartwarming to read. I want to do something like that in the future. Kate, 25, writer, London, UK I am a big fan of vintage items. They are special. I like items from the 1950s and 1960s. Vintage items carry stories from the past.

But as long as they’re in good condition, people can still use them.”（这些物品通常可以追溯到30年前甚至更早。但只要它们处于良好状态，人们仍然可以使用它们。）可知，vintage表示“旧的但是好的东西”，故选B。 20．推理判断题。根据“Once I bought a bracelet（手链） with the words ‘Rose’ and ‘Love, Jason’ inscribed on it. It made me wonder about…”可知有一次Kate买了一个手链，上面刻着“玫瑰”和“爱你的杰森”，所以这让Kate想知道手镯背后的故事，故选A。 21．推理判断题。根据“Vintage items carry stories from the past.”（复古物品承载着过去的故事）可知二手物品有时会传递历史和故事。故选C。 六 （22-23八年级下·江苏扬州·期末）During the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games, there were 10 flower beds（花坛）.

Green Olympics can not only make good use of waste and protect the environment, but also be good for the future development of the city, There’s no doubt that the Winter Olympics theme flower beds, which showed the “simple, safe and wonderful” requirements for the competition, added points to the unique charm（独特魅力）of the “City of the Two Olympics”. As waste is considered as a resource that is put in a wrong place, the designers made the waste in the right place for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games.

So far, Faircloth with his daughter Luna along for the ride — has sent 95 RVs to California area wildfire victims (受害者). Otherwise they might wait months for emergency housing (应急居所). ③Faircloth first got the idea for the organization in 2018. Like many that year, the father was touched by the news of California’s deadly Camp Fire that burnt hundreds of homes during Thanksgiving week. The story of a man who lost almost everything but managed to survive the fire in his mobile home impressed Faircloth. Then he asked Luna what she thought about finding an RV and sending it to a family, so they could have a place to call home for Christmas, and she was 100% on board. ④Faircloth started a GoFundMe activity to provide money for the first RV that he and Luna sent to California. As the news of their journey spread, people started reaching out to him, offering to donate their RVs — and from there, EmergencyRV Organization soon formed. All the people think what Faircloth did will make a difference to those in need. It’s hoped that these donations can help more people. ⑤Many of those who receive mobile homes are firefighters. Their tireless work in fighting the fire did not prevent their own homes from burning. One such man is George Wolley, who lost his own home in the Dixie Fire on August 4th. He said, “Before I got that RV, I felt like I was a burden (负担) on everybody that helped me... I slept a lot in tents and in my car. It gave me a place to go.” ⑥Faircloth’s organization continues to grow. He’s thankful for the many things he has and happy to be in a position to help others. 30．EmergencyRV Organization was started to ________. A．teach people ways to prevent fires B．raise money to buy emergency cars C．provide housing for wildfire victims D．collect and sell second-hand cars 31．What gave Faircloth the idea to set up the organization?

A．B． C． D． 【答案】30．C 31．B 32．D 33．D 34．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了Woody Faircloth和他的女儿Luna建立了一个叫做“紧急房车”的非盈利组织，为在加州山火中失去家园的家庭提供安全的住所。现在他们的服务对象很多是那些为了救火而失去自己家园的消防员。 30．细节理解题。根据第一段“they’ve helped people who’ve lost their homes in California’s latest wildfires.”和第二段“The idea of Woody Faircloth, EmergencyRV Organization connects people who are willing to donate their RVs to those in need.”可知，紧急房车组织一开始是为野火受害者提供住房。故选C。 31．细节理解题。根据“Faircloth first got the idea for the organization in 2018. Like many that year, the father was touched by the news of California’s deadly Camp Fire that burnt hundreds of homes during Thanksgiving week.”可知，营火烧毁了数百所房屋的消息令这位父亲深受感动，所以建立了这个组织。故选B。 32．推理判断题。根据“All the people think what Faircloth did will make a difference to those in need. It’s hoped that these donations can help more people.”可知，所有人希望这些捐款能够帮助到更多的人，所以Faircloth的行为是充满希望的。故选D。 33．推理判断题。根据第五段“One such man is George Wolley, who lost his own home in the Dixie Fire on August 4th.”可知，这是举的一个房车接收的例子。故选D。 34．篇章结构题。通读文章可知，第一段是通过旅行房车引出下文；第二、三、四段是Faircloth成立紧急房车组织的理念、缘由及发起活动；第五段是接收房屋的人群；第六段是Faircloth的感受。故选D。 九 （22-23八年级下·江苏泰州·期末） Yang Yongxiu was in his early 20s when he joined automaker FAW in Changchun, Jilin Province. Since then, the now 35-year-old has practiced numerical control technology (数控技术) and he is crazy about it. He has mastered the skill of making engine cylinders (气缸). “There are over 100 holes in an engine cylinder,” Yang said. “We must be very accurate (精确的)—less than 0.015 millimeter. That is the standard for me and my team.” In 2007, he took the college entrance examination, and chose to study numerical control technology at college. After leaving college, Yang joined the research and development department at FAW. “In the group, what I learned at college was not enough for me to do my job properly, so I had to learn and practice more.” During the day, Yang worked with a more experienced engineer and made notes of everything he learned. After work, he would stay on in the workshop to practice until midnight. It only took him two years to get the title of FAW Group Technical Expert.   At the beginning of 2020, Yang became a trainer. He is now teaching young workers and coaching them for competitions. He has trained about 700 people. Some of them have won awards, including 23 at the national level. In 2022, Yang Yongxiu received the China Youth May 4 Medal, the highest prize to Chinese youth who have distinguished themselves in their fields. “I am happy to be able to set up such a young team,” he said. “We have an average age of 29, and I believe this will help us come up with more ideas.” Looking ahead, Yang has more work to do to bring in more young talent in the future. 35．Yang’s engine cylinder ________.

It’s just barren land there! So why even call it a town? There are more than 4,000 people of 48 nationalities. However, all of the people live underground! Coober Pedy was set up in 1915, following the discovery of opals(猫眼石). The town is sometimes called the “opal capital of the world,” because it is the largest opal mining(矿) area in the world. Because of the desert climate, people came to realize that while working under the ground was easy, living above it was not. The solution was to move underground, by changing old mines into homes and setting up the world’s first and most likely, only underground town. As years have gone by, the homes have become bigger. There are now also some hotels for tourists. They come from all over the world just to see this unusual town. Coober Pedy is probably best known for its unique style of underground living. While the structures may be located underground, they are in no way worse than those that lie above. Not only do their walls have the color of beautiful red, but also the structures have all the modern equipment like walk-in closets, modern kitchens and televisions. And the town also has gift shops selling opal jewelry, a couple of museums and even a church! Besides, Coober Pedy is also a favourite among filmmakers. And it has appeared in a series of movies such as Pitch Black, Red Planet and Opal Dream. 40．What does the underlined word barren probably mean?

A．how famous Coober Pedy is B．how busy Coober Pedy is C．how beautiful Coober Pedy is D．how rich Coober Pedy is 【答案】40．B 41．C 42．D 43．A 【导语】这篇文章是一篇说明文。主要介绍了世界上唯一一个地下城镇，以及它的建立原因和在全世界的流行度。 40．词义猜测题。根据“why even call it a town”可知作者认为这个地方过于贫瘠而不能被称之为是一个城镇，划线部分单词与“too poor”意思相近。故选B。 41．细节理解题。根据“Coober Pedy was set up in 1915, following the discovery of opals (猫眼石)”可知该城镇被建立是由于猫眼石的发现。故选C。 42．推理判断题。根据“While the structures may be located underground, they are in no way worse than those that lie above.”并结合本段内容可知，本段主要描述了人们是如何在底下生活的。故选D。 43．推理判断题。最后一段例举著名电影名字是为了证明该段第一句话“Coober Pedy is also a favourite among filmmakers”，进而证明Coober Pedy是多么的流行。故选A。 十一 （22-23八年级下·江苏宿迁·期末） Hanfu fashion has become more and more popular with young people. China has followed Western fashion designs in recent years, but a growing number of young people are now looking to the past for fashion ideas. If you look closely around your city, you might notice hanfu, the traditional clothing of the Han dynasty. In a recently published report by an online shopping platform, about 2 million hanfu clothes were sold in 2019, nearly 4 times as many as those sold in 2018. Most of the buyers are between 19 and 24 years old. But why has this traditional clothing become popular with young Chinese people? For some of them, it’s a costume for relaxation. Dafan, a 24-year-old college student, told CGTN that dressing in hanfu is a way for her to get away from the troubles of real life. Modern clothing, on the other hand, represents the identity(身份) people need to show every day. “Hanfu and modern clothing help me to show the different sides in me,” she said. Other teenagers like hanfu because of the culture behind it. They see it as a way to reconnect with traditions. Its wide sleeves, crossed collars and flowing robes bring people back to ancient times. “Hanfu is the symbol of the Chinese traditional culture.” Nanhe, a 21-year-old costume studio owner, told CGTN. 44．According to the passage, about ________ Hanfu clothes were sold in 2018.

However, we don’t always understand it. We think of unlocking our self-improvement power only when everything gets worst. When do we realize that we need to change diets? When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth have fallen off. We see the warning signs when things get difficult. Most of us will learn about unlocking our self-improvement power only when the whole world falls apart. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change. However, change becomes more painful when we pay no attention to it. Change will happen, like it or hate it. At one point or another, we are all going to finally unlock our self-improvement power, not because the world says so, but because we realize it’s good for ourselves. Happy people don’t just accept change; they welcome it. Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change. Jane always tells everyone that she is afraid of being around groups of people. Over the years, that is what Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd come, she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it! If we look at things in a different way, we might have greater fun. Doing exercise three times a week would lead to a healthier life. Reading books every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying the whole process (过程) of unlocking out self-improvement power, we will realize that we can take things light and become happy. 48．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing Paragraph 2? A．To show that health is the most important. B．To explain we will meet trouble in life. C．To tell problems are not realized at times. D．To show we learn lessons when experiencing pain. 49．What advice might be given to help solve Jane’s problem? A．Always believe in herself. B．Unlock herself out of the box of thought. C．Get on with people in a friendly way. D．Count the days until she is fully improved. 50．Which of the following opinions may the writer support? A．Don’t improve ourselves until things get worst. B．People change when they find it easy to do that. C．If you welcome change in life, you’ll make it better. D．Process of self-improvement makes life worse. 51．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Is it important to take things light? B．Is it necessary to believe in yourselves? C．To hold on to the last moment or to give up? D．To unlock ourselves out of the box of thought or to stay in it? 【答案】48．D 49．B 50．C 51．D 【导语】本文作者论述了释放自我提升能力的力量是在一切都变得最糟糕的时候，因此作者认为迎接生活中的变化，才能把它变得更好。享受释放自我提升能力的整个过程时，我们才会意识到我们开始变得轻松快乐。 48．推理判断题。根据“We see the warning signs when things get difficult.”可知，第2段主要告诉我们，当事情变得艰难时，我们会看到警告信号。也就是说，我们在经历痛苦时才会吸取了教训。故选D。 49．推理判断题。根据“Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are.”可知，释放我们自我提升的力量意味着把我们自己从思维的盒子里解放出来。因此，要解决简的问题，要建议她把自己从思维的盒子里解放出来。故选B。 50．观点态度题。根据“Happy people don’t just accept change; they welcome it.”可知，快乐的人不仅仅接受改变；他们对此表示欢迎。也就是说，作者认为，如果你欢迎生活中的变化，你会让它变得更好。故选C。 51．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，尤其是“Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are.

Lilliputians soon began to lose their fear of me. They called me the Man-Mountain. Sometimes I lay down and let them dance on my hand, and from time to time children came to play games in my hair. By now I was able to speak their language well. One day the King invited me to watch the regular entertainments, which are greatly enjoyed by him, his family, and his lords and ladies. I was most interested in the rope-dancing. A very thin rope is fixed thirty centimeters above the ground. People who want to become the King’s most important officials jump and dance on this rope, and whoever jumps highest without falling gets the best job. Sometimes the King orders his lords to dance on the rope, to show that they can still do it. This sport is, of course, rather dangerous, and there are occasional deaths as a result. It seems a strange way of choosing officials. There was another interesting entertainment. The King holds a stick in front of him, and sometimes moves it up and down. One by one, people come up to him and jump over the stick or crawl under it. They go on jumping and crawling as the King moves the stick. The winner is the one who jumps and crawls for the longest time, and he receives a blue ribbon to wear round his waist. The second best receives a red ribbon, and the third best gets a green one.

But more than a paradise (天堂) for travelers and foodies, it’s also a wonderland of plants and animals. Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, in the south-central part of Hainan Island, has the most and well-kept tropical rainforests (热带雨林) in China. President Xi Jinping visited it in April. The national park covers 4,269 square kilometers, or one-seventh of the island. More than 95 percent of the park is virgin (原始状态的) forest and is home to 3,653 species of vascular plants (维管植物) and 540 species of terrestrial vertebrates (陆生脊椎动物). The park is the only habitat (栖息地) of the world’s most endangered primate (灵长类动物)—the Hainan gibbon (长臂猿). It’s an uncommon species (种类). They look like monkeys, but have no tails. They live in the trees their whole lifetimes. Every morning, they whistle loudly to mark their territory (领地). They eat fruits and leaves from more than 130 plants. The number of Hainan gibbons has increased from fewer than 10 in the 1980 s to 36 in 2022. This shows China’s achievements in environmental protection. Not just a sweet home to animals, the park is a “live museum” of amazing plants. More than 400 kinds of plants grow only in Hainan. Cycas hainanensis (海南苏铁) is a wild plant native to the island. With feather-like leaves, this plant can live to be 200 years old. If it lives in the Yangtze River Basin and North China, it grows almost without flowers or fruit. But in Hainan, cycas hainanensis plants over 10 years old blossom (开花) and bear fruit almost every year, thanks to the warm and humid (湿润的) weather. With so many plants and animals, the biodiversity index (生物多样性指数) of the park—a number to rate species diversity—is as high as 6.28. It is comparable (可比较的) to the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. That’s why people call the park a treasure for both China and the world. 60．Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________. A．an introduction to the park B．the views of the park C．the news of the park’s opening D．details of rare plants and animals 61．What do we know about the Hainan gibbon? A．It is a monkey without a tail. B．Its voice sounds like a crying baby. C．It lives on plants and birds. D．It is a species only found in Hainan. 62．From the story, we can infer (推断) that cycas hainanensis ________. A．never blossoms and bears fruit B．can only live for 10 years in Hainan C．lives better in warm and humid weather D．first blossoms when it is 10 years old. 63．Which of the following may be the writer’s opinion? A．We must start to do something for rare species. B．Human activities will do harm to the rainforest. C．China has done a great job in protecting the rainforest. D．We should compare our rainforest with the Amazon rainforest. 【答案】60．A 61．D 62．C 63．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了海南热带雨林国家公园及其动植物的多样性。 60．主旨大意题。根据第三段可知，国家公园占地4269平方公里，占全岛面积的七分之一。公园95%以上是原始森林，是3653种维管植物和540种陆生脊椎动物的家园。这是对国家公园的介绍。故选A。 61．细节理解题。根据第四段“The park is the only habitat of the world’s most endangered primate—the Hainan gibbon”可知，该公园是世界上最濒危的灵长类动物海南长臂猿的唯一栖息地。故选D。 62．推理判断题。根据第五段“But in Hainan, cycas hainanensis plants over 10 years old blossom and bear fruit almost every year, thanks to the warm and humid weather.”可知，但在海南，由于天气温暖潮湿，10年以上的海南苏铁几乎每年都会开花结果，说明苏铁在温暖潮湿的气候中生长的更好。故选C。 63．推理判断题。通过全文和“It is comparable to the Amazon rainforest in Brazil.”可知，主要介绍了海南热带雨林国家公园，其动植物的多样性可与巴西的亚马逊雨林相媲美。由此可知在保护热带雨林方面，中国做得很好。故选C。 十五 （21-22八年级下·江苏苏州·期末）Do you love swimming? How about riding a bike? Does running make you happy? Have you ever combined (混合) the three activities into one race? If you have, then you know all about the triathlon (铁人三项). In February 1974, a group of sports officials gathered in a bar in the Hawaiian Islands to argue: which sports in the world is the most exciting and challenging to test a person's will and strength? Some said it was football, some said it was swimming across the sea, and some said it was long-distance cycling, mountaineering marathons and so on. They expressed their opinions and argued. In the end, Brigadier General John Collins said: who can swim 3.8 kilometers in the rough (风大浪急的) sea in one day, ride a bicycle 180 kilometers around the island, and finally run the 42.195 kilometers Honolulu Marathon. Collins's idea was supported by everyone, so 15 people took part in the game the next day, including one female player. As a result, the race was completed. Such a new type of sports was born in this adventurous situation.

Since we were new to all of this,  reasonable（合乎情理）, but we had completely forgotten（and didn’t know, to be honest）what a tip even was, let alone how much to give.

She said, “When I’ve earned some money, I’ll start again. When you love your art, nothing is too much.” But Joe decided that he was also going to stop his lessons and paint pictures and try to sell them.

So I can't work any more. I’m sorry, Joe, but we'll still have money from the man in Vermont, won’t we?” Joe looked at her. “There’s no man in Vermont,” he said. “I haven’t sold any paintings. I’ve been working in a medicine shop, and today someone came from the restaurant to buy bandages fora woman who’d burned her hand. So when I saw you—well, I guessed.” They both laughed. “So we’ve told each other lies,” said Joe. “But when you love your art, ...” Delia put her fingers to his lips. “No, Joe,” she said. “When you love someone, nothing is too much.” 76．Who does the underlined word “They” mean in the passage?

But now we have a new ocean. On World Ocean Day, which falls on June 8, the National Geographic Society announced it would recognize(承认)the Southern Ocean in Antarctica(南极洲). Unlike the Arctic, Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans—which are defined by the continents(大陆)around them, the Southern Ocean is instead characterized by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current(南极绕极流). According to National Geographic, the Southern Ocean includes most of the waters surrounding Antarctica out to 60 degrees south latitude(纬度). “It’s reported that it is the only ocean to touch three others and to completely embrace(包围)a continent rather than being embraced by several continents,” Sylvia Earle, an American biologist and oceanographer, told the Daily Mail. Those familiar with the Southern Ocean know it’s unlike any other ocean. “Anyone who has been there will find it difficult to explain what’s so amazing about it, but they’ll all agree that the glaciers(冰川)are bluer, the air colder, the mountains more frightening and the landscapes more attractive than anywhere else you can go,” Seth Sykora-Bodie, a marine scientist, told National Geographic. Because of the different environment of the Southern Ocean, it’s home to thousands of unique species(物种). The ocean also has wider ecological effects. For example, humpback whales are known to feed on small shrimp off Antarctica during the summer before moving north to the warmer climates of Central and South America for the colder winter months, according to the Daily Mail. The National Geographic Society hopes their revised(修订过的)maps will help the public learn more about the area, and it helps to encourage Southern Ocean protection—but its importance is even beyond that. “We think it’s very important from an educational standpoint to bring attention to the Southern Ocean as a fifth ocean,” Alex Tait, a geographer, told the Post. “So when students learn about parts. of the ocean world, they learn it’s an interconnected ocean, and they learn there are these areas called oceans that are really important, and that there’s a special one in the icy waters around Antarctica.” 90．We can learn about these oceans in the Geography class EXCEPT _________. A．the Indian OceanB．the Pacific Ocean C．the Southern Ocean D．the Atlantic Ocean 91．Which of the following is TRUE? A．The Southern Ocean is embraced by the continents. B．The Southern Ocean is much smaller than the others. C．A continent is embraced by the Southern Ocean. D．All the oceans are defined by the continents. 92．What does the underlined word “unique” in the passage mean? A．Special. B．Common. C．Interesting. D．Ancient. 93．What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A．It’s important to learn about the Southern Ocean. B．It’s important to know that there are five oceans. C．It’s necessary to mark the Southern Ocean on the map. D．It’s important and necessary to protect all the oceans. 【答案】90．C 91．C 92．A 93．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，在世界海洋日美国国家地理协会宣布承认南极洲的南大洋，这是全球海洋总数达到五个，文章还介绍了南大洋的一些特点和标记它的意义。 90．细节理解题。根据“The Arctic: Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans are the four oceans we learned about in the Geography class.”可知，我们可以从地理课上知道四个海洋：北冰洋、大西洋、印度洋和太平洋，不包括南大洋。故选C。 91．细节理解题。根据“It’s reported that it is the only ocean to touch three others and to completely embrace (包围) a continent rather than being embraced by several continents”可知，一个大陆被南大洋环抱。故选C。 92．词义猜测题。根据“Because of the different environment of the Southern Ocean, it’s home to thousands of unique species (物种). ”和“For example, humpback whales are known to …”并结合常识可知，由于南大洋的不同环境，它是数千种独特物种的家园，下文也例举了驼背鲸这种独特物种，所以unique的词义应是“特别的，独特的”，与special同义。故选A。 93．段落大意题。根据“We think it’s very important from an educational standpoint to bring attention to the Southern Ocean as a fifth ocean,”和全段内容可知，最后一段主要说明了了解南大洋很重要。故选A。 二十二 （21-22八年级下·江苏无锡·期末）Every human being has about 25, 000 genes（基因）.Your genes are part of your DNA．They give your body instructions on how to develop. For example, if your genes tell your body to build long, thin fingers, then you’ll have long, thin fingers. Your genes come from your parents, and they decide everything about you such as your hair color, your eye color, your weight, your height, and so on. Genes are still a bit of a mystery（神秘）to scientists, but they’re learning new things about them all the time. Do the genes influence（影响）our personalities? People have different ideas. These days, most people agree that the answer to the question is yes. Recent studies have shown that genes especially influence our self-control and our sense of purpose. What is a sense of purpose? If a person really wants to complete something and do well in life, he or she has a sense of purpose. A person who does not care about goals has no sense of purpose. Although scientists agree that our genes influence our personalities, there is another question. How much do they influence us? Can we control ourselves, or do our genes control us? So far, we still don’t really have an answer. Genes also influence your health. If a gene has a problem, it’s called a mutated gene. Some mutated genes can cause diseases. That is why if a person has a certain health problem, his or her child is more likely to have that same problem. As scientists and doctors learn more about genes, they’re also developing a new kind of medicine: gene therapy. Gene therapy means fixing or replacing mutated genes. Scientists are still doing experiments（实验）on gene therapy. It’s possible that in the future, gene therapy will help doctors prevent and cure diseases that are caused by mutated genes. 94．What can we learn from the passage? A．Genes can mostly decide how you look. B．Every human being has the same genes. C．Genes can never be changed after your birth. D．Gene therapy will be the best way to cure diseases. 95．What is a person with a strong sense of purpose like according to the passage? A．He is quite humorous and likes playing jokes with others. B．He is usually polite and gets on well with people around him. C．He is quite serious and doesn’t talk much with other people. D．He is usually hard-working and tries his best to achieve is goals. 96．Which of the following words can best describe gene therapy? A．Successful. B．Hopeless. C．Meaningful. D．Useless. 97．The writing purpose of the passage is________. A．to introduce the recent study on genes B．to explain the secret of genes C．to describe a new kind of medicine D．to show the growth of genes 【答案】94．A 95．D 96．C 97．A 【导语】本文介绍了基因会影响外貌、性格、个性和健康，以及在未来，基因治疗有可能帮助医生预防和治疗由基因突变引起的疾病。 94．推理判断题。根据“Your genes come from your parents, and they decide everything about you such as your hair color, your eye color, your weight, your height, and so on”可知基因为决定外貌，故选A。 95．推理判断题。根据“If a person really wants to complete something and do well in life, he or she has a sense of purpose. A person who does not care about goals has no sense of purpose.”可知，D选项“他通常很努力，并尽他最大的努力去实现目标。”符合，故选D。 96．推理判断题。根据“gene therapy will help doctors prevent and cure diseases that are caused by mutated genes.”可知，基因治疗有可能帮助医生预防和治疗由基因突变引起的疾病，所以基因治疗是有意义的，故选C。 97．推理判断题。根据“Recent studies have shown that genes especially influence our self-control and our sense of purpose.”以及通读全文可知文章介绍了基因会影响外貌、性格、个性和健康，最后提到了基因治疗，可见作者是为了介绍基因方面的最新研究，故选A。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！15 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
