They were created thousands of years ago to guide people's lives. Grain Buds or Xiaoman, the 8th solar term of a year,begins on May 20 this year, and ends on June 4. Grain Buds holds both natural and cultural importance. It means that the seeds of summer crops like w heat are becoming full but are not ripe(成熟的).The name xiaoman has also special meanings in Chinese culture and shows how Chinese people think about life. The word mixes xiao, meaning little, and man,meaning“full”. Together, it means“things are not yet completely (完全) full”.This name shows that it is best not to do too much or too little. Let's see what we can do during the“Grain Buds”period. A good season for eating During the Grain Buds period, summer harvest is about to begin. A saying about rain during this time goes,“A heavy rainfall makes the river full.”Because of the great increase in rainfall,rivers are full of water, which makes fish and shrimps big and fat. This is a good time to enjoy them. Grain Buds is also a season for eating mulberries(桑葚) and bitter herbs(苦菜) which can cool the blood and remove harmful things from the body. A key period for flower caring This time is a good period of the quick growth of flowers. It is also a season when plant diseases and pests are the most, which makes growing flowers even harder. Caring for your garden becomes even more important than any other time. If you take good care of them, your plants will be healthier. High temperatures and wet days are common during the Grain Buds period. The increase in temperature over this season may make you get skin illnesses easily. It is also important to exercise during the hot summer days. Walking, jogging and practicing tai chi are popular. 36. How long does Grain Buds last this year? A.14 days B. 15 days C.16 days D.17 days 37. Which of the following best matches the meaning of Xiaoman? A. The couple live happily though they don't have much money. B. A poor man hates working and lies down all day long. C. A rich man often wants to make much more money. D. A student isn't happy with his grade and always tries to get higher grades. 38. Grain Buds is NOT a good season to eat . A. Fish B. Strawberries C. Mulberries D. bitter herbs 39. What can we infer from the passage? A. Xiaoman always falls on May 20 every year. B. It is easy to look after flowers during Xiaoman. C. It is not necessary to exercise during Xiaoman. D. Grain Buds is a good season for fishermen. 40. Which of the following can be filled in the blank? A. Weather during Grain Buds B. Ways to avoid skin diseases C. Advice on health D. Exercise for health 八年级英语 共8页 第 5 页 D Have you ever felt like you're in your own small world? Do you think everything you hear or see just makes you more sure of your ideas in this world? It's like being in an“echo chamber (信息茧房)”-a place where your own ideas keep coming back to you, and you don't hear any different ones. You think you have been trapped in it.This isn't something new, but with everyone on social media, it's happening a lot more now. Ech o chambers are like rooms we can't see on the Internet, but everyone agrees with you in it. Think about how people used to sit around a fire, telling stories that made everyone else all nod and smile. Now, we have the Internet——our modern day fire——where platforms(平台) let people from all over the world share their thoughts. Social media platforms know exactly what we like. That's thanks to very clever algorithms(算法)——sets of rules that computers follow to work out what you enjoy according to what you click on, like, and share online. These algorithms watch what we do on the Internet to show us more information that matches our interests and even what our friends like. But being in echo chambers can be a bit dangerous. They make us feel good because we're surrounded(围绕) by views we agree with, but they also make us see the world in a very limited way. This can make our opinions very fixed and make it hard for us to understand people who think differently. It might even make us feel more separated and worried because everyone outside our “bubble ”seems so different. Luckily, there are ways to break free from echo chambers. One big step is to challenge ourselves by looking for information from different sources. This means searching for more different things on the Internet, reading different kinds of stories, and talking to people with other ideas. Also, ask questions about where information comes from, double-check facts and be open-minded. In this way, we can make sure we understand the wider world a lot better. 41. How does the writer begin the passage? A. By listing numbers B. By asking questions C. By giving examples D. By showing facts 42. What may happen in an echo chamber according to the passage? A. Others have the same ideas as yours. B. People sit around the fire to tell stories. C. We talk to people with other views happily. D. People are open-minded and understand the world better. 43. Which of the following is TRUE about algorithms? A. They help people learn how to share information online. B. They teach people to follow rules about computers. C. They study people's hobbies and interests on the Internet. D. They work out what we enjoy just according to our friends' information. 44. What does the underlined word“bubble”in Para.4mean? A. A room B. An algorithm C. A balloon D. An echo chamber 八年级英语 共8页 第 6 页 45. What's the best title of this passage? A. Useful echo chambers B. Trapped in echo chambers C. Ways to break echo chambers D. Thanks to echo chambers 第二部分 非选择题 (共55分) 四、词汇运用(共10小题；每小题1分，计10分) 用括号内所给词的适当形式填空，每空不限一词。 46. Tom and Linda (marry) for ten years, but they never argue with each other. 47. Tom is crazy about football. However, his parents don't allow him (stay) out late to play football for his safety. 48. To improve our English, we're often advised (read) English aloud in the morning every day. 49. The plan for holding a class meeting this Friday is still under (discuss). 50. Our environment is changing for the worse, so all of us need to work (close) to protect the only home——the earth. 51. The drinking water (run) out soon if people keep wasting it carelessly. 52.

Puppets are usually dressed in traditional costumes. They can do many movements, such as dancing with long sleeves and practising writing. Such puppets are from the hands of puppet makers like Wang Maowei, who is from Xiaoyi,Shanxi province. Wang Maowei,a 40-year-old artist, is good at making stick puppets.“I fell in love with puppet-making as a teenager and decided to make it a lifelong career,”he says. Recently, Wang has noticed that today's people don't want to sit for more than two hours watching a puppet play as people did before. He realizes that it is important to keep up with the times and be creative to make the puppets better. With his hard work, the puppets gain new life. the puppets gain new life. Traditionally, stick puppets are made of wood and they are heavy to hold. Wang uses newspapers and a kind of cardboard to make the puppets lighter. Therefore, the puppets can be controlled more easily. The noses, eyes and mouths of the puppets can move more quickly now. In the past, homemade pigments(颜料) such as charcoal are used to decorate the puppets. Nowadays, puppet makers can use lots of paints to ensure the colourful“make-up”of the puppets. After these improvements, the well-designed puppets can not only do movements, but also perform bianlian or face-changing, a traditional Chinese opera trick. It is the balance of traditional puppet-making and modern art.“It costs time and energy to make a good puppet. However, all efforts pay off when I see how much the people love the new puppet play.”he says. 八年级英语 共 8页 第 7 页 The Puppet plays The _56_ to Puppet plays ·It has been _57_ since thousands of years ago ·Puppets usually _58_ traditional costumes. ·They can do many movements _59_ dancing and writing.
