Justin 19:03 /Dec.15, 2021 I would like sign language. Many people have trouble talking with those who have hearing problems. If we could start to learn it when we are young, it will be very helpful. We can learn to treat those who are unlucky with kindness. Kerr 22:11 /Dec.15, 2021 I like a course that helps students understand themselves better. A person without a dream is like a ship sailing without a compass. Teaching students to know about themselves well can help them have more chances and a clear goal(目标) in life. Lucy 6:28 /Dec,16, 2021 It would be a time-management class. Now, many students are addicted to their smartphones. They sleep late because they get lost in gaming. This class will help students learn that “first things come first.” This will help make sure they live a healthy life. Ben 17:39 /Dec.16, 2021 Self-defense(自我防御). It is useful when you are in trouble and you need to protect yourself. You may say that P.E. is enough, but it only teaches you how to stay fit. P.E. teachers don’t teach any kind of self-defense, so we surely need to have such lessons. 1．What course would Justin like to have at school? A．Sign language. B．Self-examination. C．Time-management.

At Taiyuan Lingde Middle School, students used bacteria to paint on culture plates(培养皿). They painted flowers, the Great Wall, pandas and other things. Wang Da teaches biology. She said: “Students set up the patterns(图案) with bacteria. Then they put them into an incubator(恒温箱) at 37 ℃. After three days, the bacteria grow in the pre-designed patterns.” “It sounds easy, but it’s not,” said student Li Baohao” When we drew the shapes with the bacteria solution(溶液), we often made mistakes. After many failures, we finally drew our ideal patterns.” But there was still a pity, said Li. “Different bacteria have different colors, and they grow with different nutrients(营养物质). It’s difficult for us to put them all together on one culture plate, so our patterns ended up in just one color.” “The project is so fun!” said another student. “It shows us that scientific experiments are not boring. Art and science can work together!” 4．What did the students use bacteria to do? A．Read books. B．Draw pictures. C．Feed pandas. D．Plant flowers. 5．Why did their patterns come in just one color?

When every student in the school wears the uniform, nobody has to worry about fashion and they feel that they belong to a group. Some people believe that a school uniform can help students pay attention to schoolwork. But some schools in Britain and other countries are starting to drop (终止) the traditional uniforms. An Australian school has decided to drop its traditional school uniform, hoping new sportswear will encourage (鼓励) students to take part in more activities. School headmaster Elisabeth Lenders said the uniform change had been in the works for several years. “We decided that in 2018-2019,” she said. “The importance is clear: to make young people live happy, healthy lives.” Ms Lenders said World Health Organization research reported 90 percent of young Australians and New Zealanders were not getting enough activity they needed in order to lead a healthy life. As well as the new uniform, she said the school would change timetables to make sure there would be chances for students to take part in physical (身体的) activity every day. Ms Lenders said in the past, a uniform was about all looking the same but now it is important for students to be able to choose clothes that they like. And this Australian school made an online survey (调查) about the uniform change and received great support from parents and students. Tara, mother of Ava in Year 7, said it was a great move from the school. “These are the challenges of our time, and we want young people to think about them,” she said. “It is bigger than just throwing out the old uniform. It’s about what the role (作用) of education is about. And for me it’s helping young people to live a happy, healthy and productive life.” 8．What does the underline word “that” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Physical activity. B．Uniform change. C．Happy life. D．Students’ health. 9．According to the passage, the uniform change in this Australian school ________. A．helps students to live a healthy life B．gives students a sense of belonging C．teaches students to dress fashionably D．helps students to pay attention to study 10．What can we know from the last paragraph? A．Students there may wear different kinds of clothes. B．The change receives strong support from students and parents. C．Parents have different opinions towards the change of uniform. D．It’s not clear whether the change is good for students or not. （23-24八年级上·江苏南京·期中）You may not like it, but learning English is necessary if you want to succeed abroad. Not just that, you have to show your knowledge of the English language on one of the two major English proficiency (水平) examinations: the IELTS (雅思) or the TOEFL (托福). Which test you should take depends on your goal. The TOEFL remains the top exam in the US. But the IELTS is popular in the US but it is already the liked better test in the UK and Australia. There are also differences in the examinations themselves. They both measure (测试) the four main language requirements: speaking, reading, writing and listening. However, the exams are very different in their form and methodology (方法). “Compared with the TOEFL, the IELTS test requires you to actually have a grasp (掌握) of the language and an ability to use it, rather than simply being well prepared for the test,” explains IELTS examiner Julian Fisher. The key reasons for this are that the IELTS exam requires fill-in answers as opposed to (相对于) multiple choice (选择题), and its speaking section is done with a real examiner instead of a computer. The examinee is given a topic related to daily life. “The face-to-face interview with a trained speaker of English allows for communicative interaction (交流互动), which reflects (反应) real academic (学术的) and workplace situations,” said senior exam marketing officer Pang Shuai.     What scores do I need? For the IELTS, a band score of 5 to 7 is fine for the majority of undergraduate and post-graduate programs. For top schools, you will probably need at least a 7. When it comes to the TOEFL, there is a range (范围). It all depends on the colleges. Mediocre (普通的) schools will let you get by with a score as low as 60. For a top-tier university, on the other hand, you will need to score upwards of 100 points on your TOEFL. 11．What does Paragraph 2 suggest? A．In the US, the TOEFL score is not as important as it once was. B．IELTS is more widely accepted than TOEFL by US schools. C．The TOEFL score is liked better in Australian universities. D．Universities in the UK mainly see students’ IELTS scores. 12．Which of the following is a difference between the TOEFL and the IELTS? A．The TOEFL checks four English skills, while IELTS doesn’t. B．The IELTS tests focus more on test-taking skills. C．There are no fill-in answers in the TOEFL tests. D．The IELTS interview s test-takers on the computer. 13．What does Pang Shuai think of the face-to-face interview? A．More exams should take this exam form. B．It is a useful skill in one’s studies and at work. C．This exam form can make test-takers more relaxed. D．A test-taker can score high simply by preparing well. 14．If you want to go to a top university in the UK or US, ________. A．a 7 on the IELTS is probably a must B．a score of 60 on the TOEFL is enough C．you should take both the TOEFL and IELTS D．you need a 7.5 on the IELTS for post-graduate programs （23-24八年级上·江苏盐城·期中）Let’s Explore（探究）The Nature!

On the day of the show, all the students sit in the school gym, ready to cheer for the many skills of their classmates(and sometimes teachers, too).

For Mr. Cheng, an old security guard at Hangzhou Dianzi University, the answer is 17 years and 100,000 yuan. One night in September 2005, a man and his kid got out of a taxi and came to Cheng. The father said that his kid was a freshman (大一新生) at the university and that 6,000 yuan they had was stolen. He asked if Cheng could help them by paying the taxi driver. “Of course,” Cheng replied. It was 68 yuan. Several days later, he heard some stories about the kid he had helped. The kid had worked hard to get into the university. He was poor, and his parents had borrowed 6,000 yuan for his college education. However, since the money was gone, the kid would probably drop out. Cheng decided to help again. He wasn’t rich, but he paid 6,000 yuan for the kid’s education (教育) and didn’t tell it to anyone. Cheng also took out a few hundred yuan every month and sponsored (资助) the kid through college. In the following years, he also sponsored another five students, but these stories about him were never known by others until recently. The greatest thing about people like Cheng isn’t what they do or how much they have; it’s how much they want to help and how far they want to go although they don’t have much to give. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 26．Which is the right order of the following facts? ①Cheng helped the father and his son pay the taxi driver. ②The parents borrowed money for their son’s college education. ③Cheng sponsored the kid through his college study.
