There are a lot of myths about the human brain (大脑). One of the biggest myths is that we only use 10 percent of our brains. The next part of the myth is that if we can learn to use the rest of our brains, then we’ll be much smarter. People say this all the time, but it’s absolutely not true! The truth is that although we don’t know everything about the human brain, we know that each part of it plays an important function. Modern scientists think the “10 percent myth” silly (愚蠢的). The other most popular myth is about being “right brained” or “left brained”. According to this myth, people who use the right side of their brains are more artistic and creative. People who use the left side of their brains are better at math and science. This is as popular as the 10 percent myth, and it’s also wrong. In 2013, a study at an American university examined the right brain and left brain myth. According to the study, we use both sides of our brains equally (相等地). It’s true that we use different parts of our brains for different things. We use our left side for language more, and our right side when we need to pay attention. But there is no fact that creative people use the right side more, or that scientific people use the left side more. We’ve talked about myth, so let’s look at a few interesting facts about the brain. First of all, the brain feels no pain. Second, about 75 percent of the brain is made of water. It’s also the fattest organ in your body. Here’s another interesting fact about the brain. Around the time you turn 18 years old, it stops growing. 1．What are the myths about from the first paragraph?   A．The human head. B．The human brain. C．The human health. D．The human arm. 2．The underlined word “function” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________. A．role B．success C．meaning D．information 3．According to the facts mentioned in the passage, ________ may use the left brain more. A．Robert, who is learning English B．Kate, who is drawing pictures C．Jenny, who is designing clothes D．Jacob, who is doing research 4．Which of the following is TRUE about the human brain? A．It is growing all life long. B．The right side is used more by artists. C．Some parts of it are not used at all. D．Three quarters of it is made of water. 5．The passage mainly tells about ________. A．the growing of the brain B．different functions of the brain C．myths and facts about the brain D．right brain and left brain 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．A 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文主要讲了关于大脑的一些荒诞的说法和一些有趣的事实。 1．细节理解题。根据“There are a lot of myths about the human brain (大脑).”可知，是关于人类大脑的荒诞说法。故选B。 2．词义猜测题。根据“The truth is that although we don’t know everything about the human brain, we know that each part of it plays an important function.”可知，此处应是介绍大脑每一部分都有重要作用，所以此处function表示“作用”，与role意思相近。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“We use our left side for language more”可知，左脑多用于语言的学习，因此选项A中学习英语的人符合。故A。 4．细节理解题。根据“Second, about 75 percent of the brain is made of water.”可知，大脑的75%也即四分之三是水。故选D。 5．主旨大意题。根据“We’ve talked about myth, so let’s look at a few interesting facts about the brain.”可知，本文主要讲了关于大脑的一些荒诞的说法和一些有趣的事实。故选C。 3. （23-24八年级上·广东汕头·期末）If you wake up one day and decide to build a house, how will you begin?

You may need his or her help when you can’t follow it.”可知，朋友可以帮助我们坚持计划，执行计划，故选D。 4．词义猜测题。结合前文“Many people have goals like getting better grades or finding a better job. But without a plan for reaching those goals, only 8 percent of these people will finally be successful.”可知没有计划，大多数人无法成功实现目标，由此推断“Once you make a plan for your goal and try your best to follow it, you will hardly fail”是说有计划并且去执行，目标就能实现，就不会失败，所以fail与unsuccessful同义，表示“失败”。故选C。 5．主旨大意题。根据“Remember: ‘A goal without a plan is just a wish.’ Once you make a plan for your goal and try your best to follow it, you will hardly fail.”并结合全文内容可知作者写这篇文章是为了讲述制定计划的重要性并呼吁大家要制定计划。故选D。 4. （23-24八年级上·广东惠州·期末）Do you often eat at KFC?

It is one of the most popular snacks in Liuzhou City, Guangxi province. The dish is famous for its strong smell. Do you know how to make Luosifen? The first step is to prepare some rice noodles, river snails and different kinds of ingredients. To make it, firstly, people should soak (浸泡) the rice noodles in water until they are soft. After that, wash the river snails and make soup. When the rice noodles and the soup are ready, then boil rice noodles with sour bamboo shoots (酸竹笋), dried tofu skin, fresh vegetables and peanuts in river snail soup. The taste mostly comes from the sour bamboo shoots. This ingredient gives Luosifen its unique taste. “Without the sour bamboo shoots, Luosifen will lose its soul (灵魂), “some people say. In the 1970s, Luosifen was just a cheap street snack in Liuzhou. People outside of the city knew little about it. It became an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) of Guangxi in 2008. Four years later, a popular Chinese food show, A Bite of China, made Luosifen known to the public and then it became a household name. From then on, Luosifen has become popular across China. Now more and more Luosifen restaurants are opened not only in the big cities in China, but also in many foreign countries like the US, Australia, Germany and so on.

Dr Guldberg, a teacher from University of Birmingham, said, “Studies show that autistic children often feel safe with computers and robots. So we wonder how robots can help the children to communicate with others. For example, robots can act as their friends and listen to them at school.” Ian Lowe, a teacher from Topcliffe Primary School, teaches about 30 autistic children. He said, “The robots are very smart at helping autistic children with their learning. In the future we hope they can help with learning at home.” And the students love them.

For example, robots can act as their friends and listen to them at school.”可知，机器人可以充当他们的朋友，在学校听他们说话，据此可以推断机器人能帮助这些孩子与他人进行交谈，因此“communicate”意为“交谈”。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据文中第三段“The robots are very smart at helping autistic children with their learning. In the future we hope they can help with learning at home.”可知，这些机器人在帮助自闭症儿童学习方面非常聪明，我们希望将来机器人能帮助自闭症儿童在家学习；据此可以推断，目前机器人还不能帮助自闭症儿童在家学习。故选C。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，开篇引出机器人可以帮助自闭症儿童进行交流，然后分别介绍专家、老师、孩子们对机器人帮助自闭症儿童方面的看法；选项B“机器人可以帮助自闭症儿童”适合作为文章的标题。故选B。 7. （23-24八年级上·广东广州·期末）Doing housework is a key part of family life. It helps improve the relationship among family members. However, lots of Chinese parents are unaware of the importance of doing housework and they think it is a waste of time. In order to know how often middle school students do housework at home, we did a survey among 1,200 students from Grade 7 to Grade 9 in a middle school. The following bar chart shows the result of our survey. From the bar chart, we find that only a small number of students usually do housework. Nearly half of the students in Grade 9 never do housework. The result makes us worried. After all, doing housework is good for students. It can teach students many important skills, like planning, timing, solving problems and so on. Doing housework can also teach students what responsibility is. Everyone should do something for the family. What’s more, doing housework can help students relax themselves and keep a balance between study and life. Therefore, we suggest that parents should encourage their children to do housework. They must learn one or two life skills every year so that they can be better prepared for an independent life in the future. 1．What can we learn from the bar chart? A．Students in all grades actively take part in housework. B．Over half of the students in Grade 8 never do housework. C．Students in Grade 7 do housework more often than students in Grade 9. D．The result of Grade 9 students is the least worrying among all grades. 2．Which is NOT an advantage of doing housework? A．Relaxing a busy mind. B．Saving more time for study.

It’s an artificial intelligence (AI) tool. It can answer questions, tell stories, and write articles. But it’s very “thirsty”, said a new study from Harvard University. ChatGPT has “homes” around the world in data centers (数据中心). When it works, the computers at the data centers get very hot. Workers then have to use water to cool them down. Cold water goes into pipes near the computers. The water needs to be very clean. They can’t use seawater because it can eat away at the pipes. When you ask ChatGPT 50 questions, it “drinks” 500 milliliters (ml) of water. Scientists used 700,000 liters of water to build ChatGPT. The water use is very big. People can make 370 cars with it. ChatGPT is just one of the AI tools around the world. You need data centers to do everything on the Internet. There are more than 8,000 data centers around the world. The number is still growing. AI uses a lot of water to “grow”. The world’s water may not be enough. Many people don’t have enough water to drink. But AI technology helps people.

But, back in the early days of computing, there were no mice. The user could only use the keyboard to get things done. The world’s first computer mouse appeared in 1964. It was created by Douglas Engelbart, a scientist in California. The mouse looked like a wooden box with two metal (金属) wheels on the front and the left side and a single button on the top, Engelbart called it the “Bug”. But the long cable on the back made it look more like a “Mouse”, and the nickname quickly became popular and well known among users. Engelbart’s mouse looked simple, but it changed the way people used computers. The first improvement came eight years later, in 1972. Bill English, an American computer engineer, changed the wheels into a ball at the bottom of the mouse. The “Ball Mouse” was easier to use. It was such a success that it could be found in almost every office in the 1980s and 1990s. This product also had its problems, though. For example, dirt and dust would collect and jam the mouse over time, making it difficult to use. The next big change came in 1980. The optical mouse didn’t need the ball. But because it was more expensive, people didn’t widely use it until the early 2000s. The mouse has come a long way since Engelbart’s “Bug”. Thousands of scientists have tried their best to make more user-friendly mice. And now you may be thinking about how to make the computer mouse even better. What will mice look like in the future? 1．What can we know about the first mouse? A．It was only made of wood. B．It was important in computer using. C．Its name the “Bug” became famous.

There are a lot of myths about the human brain (大脑). One of the biggest myths is that we only use 10 percent of our brains. The next part of the myth is that if we can learn to use the rest of our brains, then we’ll be much smarter. People say this all the time, but it’s absolutely not true! The truth is that although we don’t know everything about the human brain, we know that each part of it plays an important function. Modern scientists think the “10 percent myth” silly (愚蠢的). The other most popular myth is about being “right brained” or “left brained”. According to this myth, people who use the right side of their brains are more artistic and creative. People who use the left side of their brains are better at math and science. This is as popular as the 10 percent myth, and it’s also wrong. In 2013, a study at an American university examined the right brain and left brain myth. According to the study, we use both sides of our brains equally (相等地). It’s true that we use different parts of our brains for different things. We use our left side for language more, and our right side when we need to pay attention. But there is no fact that creative people use the right side more, or that scientific people use the left side more. We’ve talked about myth, so let’s look at a few interesting facts about the brain. First of all, the brain feels no pain. Second, about 75 percent of the brain is made of water. It’s also the fattest organ in your body. Here’s another interesting fact about the brain. Around the time you turn 18 years old, it stops growing. 1．What are the myths about from the first paragraph?   A．The human head. B．The human brain. C．The human health.

A．the growing of the brain B．different functions of the brain C．myths and facts about the brain D．right brain and left brain 3. （23-24八年级上·广东汕头·期末）If you wake up one day and decide to build a house, how will you begin?

It is one of the most popular snacks in Liuzhou City, Guangxi province. The dish is famous for its strong smell. Do you know how to make Luosifen? The first step is to prepare some rice noodles, river snails and different kinds of ingredients. To make it, firstly, people should soak (浸泡) the rice noodles in water until they are soft.

It helps improve the relationship among family members. However, lots of Chinese parents are unaware of the importance of doing housework and they think it is a waste of time. In order to know how often middle school students do housework at home, we did a survey among 1,200 students from Grade 7 to Grade 9 in a middle school.

But, back in the early days of computing, there were no mice. The user could only use the keyboard to get things done. The world’s first computer mouse appeared in 1964. It was created by Douglas Engelbart, a scientist in California. The mouse looked like a wooden box with two metal (金属) wheels on the front and the left side and a single button on the top, Engelbart called it the “Bug”. But the long cable on the back made it look more like a “Mouse”, and the nickname quickly became popular and well known among users. Engelbart’s mouse looked simple, but it changed the way people used computers. The first improvement came eight years later, in 1972. Bill English, an American computer engineer, changed the wheels into a ball at the bottom of the mouse. The “Ball Mouse” was easier to use. It was such a success that it could be found in almost every office in the 1980s and 1990s. This product also had its problems, though. For example, dirt and dust would collect and jam the mouse over time, making it difficult to use. The next big change came in 1980. The optical mouse didn’t need the ball. But because it was more expensive, people didn’t widely use it until the early 2000s. The mouse has come a long way since Engelbart’s “Bug”. Thousands of scientists have tried their best to make more user-friendly mice. And now you may be thinking about how to make the computer mouse even better.

During the 20th century, huge areas of rainforests were cut down. More and more people in Brazil and Indonesia moved into rainforest areas to find land for living. Local farmers cut down trees to grow crops (庄稼). Large companies have also moved into the rainforests to develop their factories.
