Welcome to the life of ten-year-old Aron Anderson, who goes to school in Out Skerries, a group of small, remote islands in Scotland. Aron has been the only boy at his school for two months. The Out Skerries Islands, which are around 280 km from the coast of Scotland, are home to about 70 people. The nearest town is Lerwick on the Shetland Islands. You can only get there by boat and it takes two and a half hours. Apart from Aron’s school, there are two shops, a church and a community hall on the islands. Aron isn’t the only child on the islands and he hasn’t always been the only student at the school. Until July there were several other children there, including Aron’s two brothers. But now they are older, so they go to the secondary school in Lerwick. They only go back to their homes at the weekend. Aron has been the only student since September. The school is very small. It has two classrooms, an art room, a music room and a library. Each week Aron studies Maths, English, Science and Art with the same teacher. She also gives him PE lessons. This is usually an hour-long walk around the islands. He also has the school playground all to himself. Of course, there is one problem. He has no one to play with. What’s more, Aron’s education isn’t cheap. It costs the UK government £75, 357 each year. That is twice the price it costs parents to send a child to Britain’s most famous private school, Eton. Some people want to close down the school. They think it is too much money to spend on one child’s education. Aron has lived in Out Skerries since he was born and loves the outdoor life. He enjoys exploring the islands on his bike and diving into the sea from the pier. Like most boys his age, he also likes watching TV and playing on his games console. But his mother, who works in one of the shops on the islands, is worried that Aron might get lonely. She would like to see more families with children coming to live there. A lot of people have moved away since the local salmon factory closed ten years ago. That’s why there are so few children on the islands and why Aron has found himself being known as the loneliest schoolboy in Britain. 1．Aron’s school is in Out Skerries in ________. A．England B．Scotland C．Wales D．Northern Island 2．It takes Aron ________ to get to the nearest town, Lerwick by boat. A．1.5 hours B．2 hours C．2.5 hours D．3 hours 3．Aron likes to do the following activities except ________. A．riding his bike on the islands B．playing volleyball C．diving into the sea D．playing games 4．Aron’s mother is worried that Aron gets ________ in school. A．relaxed B．excited C．frightened D．lonely 5．Which of the following sentences is right? A．Aron is the only child on the islands. B．Now Aron’s brothers attend school in Lerwick. C．Two different teachers teach Aron. D．It’s cheaper to study in Aron’s school than in Eton. 6．We may find this article in the ________ section in a school newspaper. A．advertisement B．sports C．story D．health 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．D 5．B 6．C 【导语】本文主要介绍一个名叫Aron Anderson的十岁男孩在苏格兰偏远小岛的上学情况。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“remote islands in Scotland”可知，Aron的学校在苏格兰。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“You can only get there by boat and it takes two and a half hours.”可知，乘船到最近的小镇上需要两个半小时。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“He enjoys exploring the islands on his bike and diving into the sea from the pier. Like most boys his age, he also likes watching TV and playing on his games console.”可知，他喜欢骑自行车、在大海中潜水，没有提到打排球。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“But his mother, who works in one of the shops on the islands, is worried that Aron might get lonely.”可知，妈妈担心Aron感到孤独。故选D。 5．细节理解题。根据第三段“Until July there were several other children there, including Aron's two brothers. But now they are older, so they go to the secondary school in Lerwick.”可知，现在Aron的哥哥去了Lerwick上学。故选B。 6．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文讲述在苏格兰偏远的岛上的一所学校里只有一名学生的故事。文章应该是出自报纸的“故事”栏目。故选C。 （23-24八年级上·上海闵行·期末）Today many people all over the world ride bicycles.

Minecraft is a game that you have to pay for downloading. It’s worth every penny! It is a technical game, where everything is made up of blocks. In the game, you are a person called Steve. At the start of the game you have nothing, so the first thing that is smart to do is to punch (猛击) a tree. You are probably thinking why you would punch a tree. You need some wood and make it into crafting table. Then you make armor (盔甲) and tools and all kinds of stuff. It would be good if you build a shelter too. I also suggest you dig a hole under the ground and put down your crafting table. Make a shovel out of sticks and more wood, and then you can kill a sheep to get sheepskin to make a bed. If you are not completely sure about living in a hole, you can make your hole look better. You can make a furnace to bake stuff, though. I think that you will need cobblestones (鹅孵石) to make a furnace. Once you have your furnace, be sure to get some sand. Bake your sand to get glass, and then cover up your cave with it. This will make a very efficient protection. A glass can protect you from monsters. There are so many out there like Creepers, Zombies and Skeletons. Be sure you make some strong weapons to fight all the monsters during the day and night. 1．You should ________ at the start of the game. A．punch a tree B．make a furnace C．meet a person called Steve D．make money and get rich 2．Minecraft is different from other games because ________.

More people see a cruise as the perfect way to sit back and do nothing, and enjoy time off work. But what is the effect (影响) on the environment of this trend? Although it usually takes less energy for a vehicle to move through water than over land, cruise ships are often very big, with the biggest ones carrying up to 6, 000 passengers. Moving such large vehicles requires huge engines which burn as much as 300, 000 litres of fuel a day. One scientist has calculated that cruise ships produce as much pollution as 5 million cars going over the same distance. Because they are out at sea, they also burn dirtier fuel that isn’t allowed on land. Unfortunately, no government has control over the amount of air pollution out at sea. Cruises also produce huge amounts of rubbish, and cruise ships aren’t usually good at recycling. Waste water from showers and toilets is usually poured directly into the sea—as much per day as from a small town. Waste food from restaurants isn’t put into the sea, but still causes problems when brought back to the land. Cruise ships also cause difficulties in the cities where they stop. Popular destinations can get five or six ships per day, with thousands of tourists at a time. Good for restaurants? No. Restaurant owners complain that the visitors look around for a few hours and then return to their ship to eat. What’s more, the crowds can put off other tourists, who complain that the streets are too busy. Some towns have banned cruise ships or put a limit on the number that can stop at the same time. People who care about the environment worry that as the cruise industry continues to grow, so will the issues for our planet. 1．The underlined word “trend” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _______. A．change B．event C．decision D．problem 2．The biggest cruise can hold about _______ passengers. A．20, 000, 000 B．300, 000 C．6, 000 D．5, 000, 000 3．Cruise ships cause a lot of air pollution because _______. A．they carry large numbers of cars and passengers as well B．they use types of fuel that are not allowed on land C．it takes more energy to move through water than over land D．their engines are not as powerful as those of other vehicles 4．How is waste water dealt with on cruise ships? A．It’s thrown away at sea. B．It’s properly recycled. C．It’s brought into a town. D．It’s stored in the ships. 5．Why are cruise ship passengers not popular in some cities? A．They don’t spend money on meals in the restaurants. B．They fill up the restaurants and make noise. C．They complain when the city is too crowded. D．They are sometimes rude to other tourists. 6．The purpose of the passage is to _______. A．introduce a new way of travelling B．explain some problems cruise ships cause C．advise governments to ban cruise ships D．encourage people to try cruise ships 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．A 6．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了游轮旅行产生的环境污染。 1．词义猜测题。根据“Cruises are becoming more and more popular, with around 20 million passengers per year now enjoying holidays on board luxury (奢侈的) ships.”可知，现在越来越多人享受游轮旅行，已经成为一种趋势，此处trend表示“趋势”，意思和change类似，表示人们生活习惯的一种改变。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“…with the biggest ones carrying up to 6, 000 passengers.”可知，最大的游轮可容纳约6000名乘客。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“…cruise ships produce as much pollution as 5 million cars going over the same distance. Because they are out at sea, they also burn dirtier fuel that isn’t allowed on land.”可知，游轮造成了大量的空气污染，因为它们使用的燃料是陆地上不允许使用的。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“Waste water from showers and toilets is usually poured directly into the sea…”可知，游轮上的废水被倒进海里。故选A。 5．细节理解题。根据“Restaurant owners complain that the visitors look around for a few hours and then return to their ship to eat.”可知，一些乘客并不在当地餐馆吃饭。故选A。 6．主旨大意题。根据“But what is the effect on the environment of this trend?”和全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了游轮所产生的环境污染。故选B。 （22-23八年级上·上海长宁·期末）Choose the best answer (根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案) The Los Angeles River was once a wonderful water source for the people of Los Angeles.

Last fall, while studying life sciences, the girls sent samples（样本）of their DNA off to Living DNA, a DNA testing company. The test results became known last week and they left a big impression on the students, who were able to make real-world connections to topics they have been studying all semester long, including genotypes（基因型）. “Students were able to maturely（成熟地）look at their results and apply what they learned in science. It’s about bringing learning to life,” said Laura Pena, the STEM program teacher. For most of the girls, the DNA test was their ancestry（血统）. Sitting with her mom, Amariah Caudle, 15, looked with her mouth wide open at the charts showing her results. She was surprised that her European ancestry was only 13 percent. Her mother, Janell Caudle, was surprised it was that high. “I didn’t think a trace（痕迹）would show up in her,” she said. “After many generations, this is still showing up in our bloodline（血统）. I was shocked by the science of it all.” DNA has a power to engage people, said Diahan Southard, Living DNA community manager. Southard believes the program gives students an understanding of DNA at an important moment, when they are still young enough to absorb lessons and change their values. Elianed Guzman, 14, said she knew little about her family except that they were from Mexico. She described in her native Spanish how surprised she was to learn that she shared genetic DNA with people in China, Japan and Korea. As the girls sat in small groups to examine their results, with reactions ranging from confusion to surprise, they began to understand what it all means. “Now I know I have family from everywhere,” said Amariah. 1．Scientists made big discoveries about the structure of DNA possibly________. A．in the 1910s B．in the 1930s C．in the 1950s D．in the 1990s 2．How did the students feel when they found out the DNA test results? A．Anxious. B．Doubtful. C．Impressed. D．Calm. 3．Why was Amariah Caudle’s mother surprised? A．People had the opportunity to test their DNA． B．The European trace showed up in Amariah’s DNA． C．Amariah possibly had European ancestry. D．Amariah shared genetic DNA with people from Asia. 4．What does Southard think of the program? A．It helps students understand their DNAs. B．It has a great power to bring people together. C．It will change their students’ DNAs. D．It should be introduced to more people around the country. 5．What did the students learn from the program? A．People need to accept who they are. B．We should learn more about family history. C．People’s personalities can be explained by their bloodlines. D．People from all over the world are connected with each other. 6．The best title for the passage is ________. A．Our amazing past B．Our amazing present C．Our amazing future D．Our past, present and future 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．D 6．A 【导语】本文讲述了美国科雷塔·斯科特·金青年女子领导力学院的20名学生从她们的DNA检测中了解到自己的血统从而认识到世界人民是相互联系的。 1．推理判断题。根据“More than 60 years after scientists made big discoveries about the structure of DNA, 20 students at US Coretta Scott King Young Women’s Leadership Academy gained insight（了解）into some of the molecular（分子的）mysteries that make them who they are.”可知，在科学家对DNA结构做出重大发现60多年后，美国科雷塔·斯科特·金青年女子领导力学院的20名学生了解一些分子的奥秘。以现在的时间往前推60年，则科学家对DNA的结构有了重大发现的时间可能是在20世纪50年代左右。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“The test results became known last week and they left a big impression on the students, who were able to make real-world connections to topics they have been studying all semester long, including genotypes（基因型）.”可知，测试结果于上周公布，给学生们留下了深刻的印象，他们能够将自己整个学期所学的主题（包括基因型）与现实世界联系起来。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“She was surprised that her European ancestry was only 13 percent. Her mother, Janell Caudle, was surprised it was that high.”可知，她很惊讶自己的欧洲血统只有13%。她的母亲珍妮尔·考德尔惊讶地发现它竟然这么高。再根据“‘I didn’t think a trace（痕迹）would show up in her,’ she said.”可知，她的母亲以为欧洲血统在她女儿身上并没有显露出来，而检测结果却有。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“Southard believes the program gives students an understanding of DNA at an important moment, when they are still young enough to absorb lessons and change their values.”可知，索萨德认为，这个项目让学生在一个重要的时刻了解DNA，这时他们还足够年轻，可以吸取教训，改变自己的价值观。故选A。 5．推理判断题。根据“Now I know I have family from everywhere”可知，学生们通过基因检测了解到了世界各地的人民在血缘上都相互联系着。故选D。 6．最佳标题题。根据“For most of the girls, the DNA test was their ancestry（血统）.”可知，学生们参与的DNA检测是关于她们的血统的，且从其检测结果让学生们了解自己的血统来源，从而让她们意识到世界是相互联系的。因此选项A“我们惊人的过去”作为标题最为合适。故选A。 （23-24八年级上·上海普陀·期末）A reader wrote to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend wasn’t around. Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.     It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime. You want to have new friends. But how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends.     Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play with at break. Look for chances to say Hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation(欣赏) to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to the kids you want to play with.     If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help—and pretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends.     You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before she/he left: You can introduce her/him to your new friends! 1．This text is written for ________. A．teachers B．parents C．students D．visitors 2．According to the writer, some kids feel lonely at break because they ________. A．have trouble with their studies B．don’t have their best friends around C．need their parents to be with them D．are too young to look after themselves 3．Some kids need help from teachers to make friends because ________.

A．to be a friend B．to wait for a friend C．to judge a person D．to criticize a person 5．What can you do when you meet your special best friend again? A．share something you didn’t have before she/he left B．introduce her/him to your new friends C．leave her/him alone D．A&B 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文讲述的是给有时感到孤独的孩子的一些交新朋友的建议。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class.”可知，也许是因为她搬到了另一所学校或另一个班级。因此这篇文章应当是为学生写的。故C项正确，故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句“A reader wrote to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend wasn’t around.”可知有些孩子在休息时感到孤独，因为他们没有最好的朋友在身边。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第四段第一句“If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends.”可知有些孩子因为害羞或者不善于交朋友而需要老师的帮助。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据“The best way to make friends is to be a friend”可知最好的办法是成为一个朋友，故选A。 5．细节理解题。根据“You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before she/he left: You can introduce her/him to your new friends!”你可能仍然会想念那个特别的好朋友。但当你见到对方时，你可以分享她/他离开之前你没有的东西：你可以把她/他介绍给你的新朋友！可知，当你再次遇到你的特别好朋友时，你能分享她/他离开之前你没有的东西和把她/他介绍给你的新朋友。故选D。 （23-24八年级上·上海嘉定·期末）A subway is not just an important form of transport.

Do you send text messages to your friends and family?   Text messaging or “texting” is becoming very popular. But, scientists have discovered that texting can give us problems with our hands. Be careful! Too much texting can cause swelling（肿胀）in our thumbs（拇指）and wrists（手腕）. Our thumbs are not made for pushing small buttons, over and over. Scientists call this problem RSI. We spoke to a doctor called Harriet Wilson, who treats many patients with RSI. She said we needed to see how much time we were spending in typing text messages. If we are spending more than 10-15 minutes at once, we could have problems in the future. We also talked with Dr Harjeet Deepa who treats（治疗）RSI patients. He told us that the youngest patient she had treated was a five-year-old girl. She wasn’t doing well at school, so her parents took her for treatment. It was found that she had such bad RSI in her hands, she couldn’t hold a pencil. As mobile phones develop, they are getting smaller with buttons closer together. Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons. Using a computer keyboard and playing video games can also cause the same problem. So, more and more people could find themselves with RSI. Many university students and teenagers have RSI, as they do not know the danger of spending so much time using computers, video games and mobile phones. If we don’t do something about this, too many young people could grow up in terrible pain. 1．Because ________, people have the problem RSI. A．more people have mobile phones B．texting is becoming very popular C．people type too many text messages D．our thumbs were made for pushing buttons 2．________ were interviewed about the problem RSI in this passage. A．The writer and a little girl B．Harriet Wilson and Harjeet Deepa C．Three scientists D．Four doctors 3．The underlined part “at once” in the third paragraph means “________”. A．right away B．at one time C．finally D．immediately 4．The five-year-old little girl couldn’t hold a pencil because ________. A．she didn’t go to school B．she was too young C．she had no thumbs at all D．she suffered a lot from RSI 5．You can probably read this passage in a ________. A．comic strip（连环画） B．story book C．science book D．detective story 6．From the passage we know _________. A．it is better to use a larger phone with bigger buttons when we have to type B．it is worse to spend less time typing the text messages C．using the computer keyboard will never cause the problem RSI D．university students who have RSI know it’s dangerous to do too much texting 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．D 5．C 6．A 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了过度使用手机发送短信对我们造成的伤害。科学家已经发现用手指发送短信太多会使手指不舒服，当我们反复按小按钮，我们可能会得一种叫肢体重复性劳损的疾病。 1．细节理解题。根据“Too much texting can cause swelling（肿胀）in our thumbs（拇指）and wrists（手腕）. Our thumbs are not made for pushing small buttons, over and over. Scientists call this problem RSI”可知，因为发太多短信会导致拇指和手腕肿胀。我们的拇指不是为一遍又一遍地按小按钮而生的。科学家称这种问题为肢体重复性劳损。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“We spoke to a doctor called Harriet Wilson”和“We also talked with Dr Harjeet Deepa who treats（治疗）RSI patients”可知，哈里特·威尔逊和哈吉特·迪帕在这篇文章中接受了关于肢体重复性劳损问题的采访。故选B。 3．词义猜测题。根据“She said we needed to see how much time we were spending in typing text messages. If we are spending more than 10-15 minutes at once, we could have problems in the future”可知，她说我们需要看看我们在输入短信上花了多少时间。如果我们一次花费超过10-15分钟，我们将来可能会有问题。故此处划线部分表“一次”，选项B“一次”符合题意。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据第四段“It was found that she had such bad RSI in her hands, she couldn’t hold a pencil”可知，医生发现她的手有严重的肢体重复性劳损，连铅笔都拿不稳。故选D。 5．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文是一篇科普说明文，故可推测出，我们能在科学书籍上读到这篇文章。故选C。 6．推理判断题。根据“Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons”可知，用小手机发短信比用按键大的大手机更糟糕，由此可知选项A“当我们必须打字时，最好使用更大的手机和更大的按钮”符合文意。故选A。 （23-24八年级上·上海金山·期末）We use the Internet for many things: business, shopping, writing letters, talking to people, finding information and so on.

Welcome to the life of ten-year-old Aron Anderson, who goes to school in Out Skerries, a group of small, remote islands in Scotland. Aron has been the only boy at his school for two months. The Out Skerries Islands, which are around 280 km from the coast of Scotland, are home to about 70 people. The nearest town is Lerwick on the Shetland Islands. You can only get there by boat and it takes two and a half hours. Apart from Aron’s school, there are two shops, a church and a community hall on the islands. Aron isn’t the only child on the islands and he hasn’t always been the only student at the school. Until July there were several other children there, including Aron’s two brothers. But now they are older, so they go to the secondary school in Lerwick. They only go back to their homes at the weekend. Aron has been the only student since September. The school is very small. It has two classrooms, an art room, a music room and a library. Each week Aron studies Maths, English, Science and Art with the same teacher. She also gives him PE lessons. This is usually an hour-long walk around the islands. He also has the school playground all to himself. Of course, there is one problem. He has no one to play with. What’s more, Aron’s education isn’t cheap. It costs the UK government £75, 357 each year. That is twice the price it costs parents to send a child to Britain’s most famous private school, Eton. Some people want to close down the school. They think it is too much money to spend on one child’s education. Aron has lived in Out Skerries since he was born and loves the outdoor life. He enjoys exploring the islands on his bike and diving into the sea from the pier. Like most boys his age, he also likes watching TV and playing on his games console. But his mother, who works in one of the shops on the islands, is worried that Aron might get lonely. She would like to see more families with children coming to live there. A lot of people have moved away since the local salmon factory closed ten years ago. That’s why there are so few children on the islands and why Aron has found himself being known as the loneliest schoolboy in Britain. 1．Aron’s school is in Out Skerries in ________. A．England B．Scotland C．Wales D．Northern Island 2．It takes Aron ________ to get to the nearest town, Lerwick by boat. A．1.5 hours B．2 hours C．2.5 hours D．3 hours 3．Aron likes to do the following activities except ________. A．riding his bike on the islands B．playing volleyball C．diving into the sea D．playing games 4．Aron’s mother is worried that Aron gets ________ in school. A．relaxed B．excited C．frightened D．lonely 5．Which of the following sentences is right? A．Aron is the only child on the islands. B．Now Aron’s brothers attend school in Lerwick. C．Two different teachers teach Aron. D．It’s cheaper to study in Aron’s school than in Eton. 6．We may find this article in the ________ section in a school newspaper. A．advertisement B．sports C．story D．health （23-24八年级上·上海闵行·期末）Today many people all over the world ride bicycles. This is because it’s a wonderful means of transport. It is also an excellent form of exercise. Bicycles don’t pollute the air, either. Now there are about a billion bicycles in the world. But how much do you know about bicycles? About 100 million bicycles are made around the world each year. Now there are over a half billion bicycles in China. Bikes first came to China in the 1800s. Today bicycles are very important for transportation in the world. Then who invented the bicycles? A long time ago, Leonardo Da Vinci drew some rough pictures that looked like a bicycle. But he is not the inventor of a bicycle. In 1690, a Frenchman named De Sivrac invented the first bicycle. But it didn’t have pedals (脚蹬). In 1840, a Scottish named Kirkpatrick Macmillan added pedals. People thought of him as the inventor of the real bicycle. Riding a bicycle has many health benefits. Riding for three hours or thirty kilometres every week cuts your risk (风险) of heart disease in half. Many people in Asia and Europe use their bicycles when travelling short distances. However, Americans only use their bicycles once in a hundred trips. If they use their bicycles a lot, they would save a lot of gas and help protect the environment(环境). 1．“________ ” is NOT the reason that people ride bicycles according to the passage. A．It doesn’t pollute the air. B．It’s an excellent form of exercise. C．It helps people make good friends.

Minecraft is a game that you have to pay for downloading. It’s worth every penny! It is a technical game, where everything is made up of blocks. In the game, you are a person called Steve. At the start of the game you have nothing, so the first thing that is smart to do is to punch (猛击) a tree. You are probably thinking why you would punch a tree. You need some wood and make it into crafting table. Then you make armor (盔甲) and tools and all kinds of stuff. It would be good if you build a shelter too. I also suggest you dig a hole under the ground and put down your crafting table. Make a shovel out of sticks and more wood, and then you can kill a sheep to get sheepskin to make a bed. If you are not completely sure about living in a hole, you can make your hole look better. You can make a furnace to bake stuff, though. I think that you will need cobblestones (鹅孵石) to make a furnace. Once you have your furnace, be sure to get some sand. Bake your sand to get glass, and then cover up your cave with it. This will make a very efficient protection. A glass can protect you from monsters. There are so many out there like Creepers, Zombies and Skeletons. Be sure you make some strong weapons to fight all the monsters during the day and night. 1．You should ________ at the start of the game. A．punch a tree B．make a furnace C．meet a person called Steve D．make money and get rich 2．Minecraft is different from other games because ________.

A．worker B．burner C．furniture D．soldier 4．You will kill a sheep in the game because ________. A．you are hungry and have to eat something B．the sheep is one kind of the monsters you fight with C．you need to make a bed with its skin D．you want to store some mutton in your hole 5．You can get glass to cover up your cave by ________ in the game.

A．how to start playing Minecraft game B．how to use trees to build other things C．what job Steve does in the game D．where to buy and download a game （22-23八年级上·上海·期末） Cruises are becoming more and more popular, with around 20 million passengers per year now enjoying holidays on board luxury (奢侈的) ships. More people see a cruise as the perfect way to sit back and do nothing, and enjoy time off work. But what is the effect (影响) on the environment of this trend? Although it usually takes less energy for a vehicle to move through water than over land, cruise ships are often very big, with the biggest ones carrying up to 6, 000 passengers. Moving such large vehicles requires huge engines which burn as much as 300, 000 litres of fuel a day. One scientist has calculated that cruise ships produce as much pollution as 5 million cars going over the same distance. Because they are out at sea, they also burn dirtier fuel that isn’t allowed on land. Unfortunately, no government has control over the amount of air pollution out at sea. Cruises also produce huge amounts of rubbish, and cruise ships aren’t usually good at recycling. Waste water from showers and toilets is usually poured directly into the sea—as much per day as from a small town. Waste food from restaurants isn’t put into the sea, but still causes problems when brought back to the land. Cruise ships also cause difficulties in the cities where they stop. Popular destinations can get five or six ships per day, with thousands of tourists at a time. Good for restaurants? No. Restaurant owners complain that the visitors look around for a few hours and then return to their ship to eat. What’s more, the crowds can put off other tourists, who complain that the streets are too busy. Some towns have banned cruise ships or put a limit on the number that can stop at the same time. People who care about the environment worry that as the cruise industry continues to grow, so will the issues for our planet. 1．The underlined word “trend” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _______. A．change B．event C．decision D．problem 2．The biggest cruise can hold about _______ passengers. A．20, 000, 000 B．300, 000 C．6, 000 D．5, 000, 000 3．Cruise ships cause a lot of air pollution because _______. A．they carry large numbers of cars and passengers as well B．they use types of fuel that are not allowed on land C．it takes more energy to move through water than over land D．their engines are not as powerful as those of other vehicles 4．How is waste water dealt with on cruise ships? A．It’s thrown away at sea. B．It’s properly recycled. C．It’s brought into a town. D．It’s stored in the ships. 5．Why are cruise ship passengers not popular in some cities? A．They don’t spend money on meals in the restaurants. B．They fill up the restaurants and make noise. C．They complain when the city is too crowded. D．They are sometimes rude to other tourists. 6．The purpose of the passage is to _______. A．introduce a new way of travelling B．explain some problems cruise ships cause C．advise governments to ban cruise ships D．encourage people to try cruise ships （22-23八年级上·上海长宁·期末）Choose the best answer (根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案) The Los Angeles River was once a wonderful water source for the people of Los Angeles.

Now more and more people want to dive in the water to find the secrets there. Scuba diving is a new sport! It can take you into a wonderful undersea world. You will find many strange animals in the sea. Some are as large as a school bus. Many sea animals give out light in the dark and some have sharp teeth. During the day, there is enough light. Here under the sea, everything is blue and green. When fish swim nearby, you can catch them with your hands. When you have bottles of air on your back, you can stay in deep water for a long time. However, you can’t dive too deep. And you must be very careful when you dive in deep water. The deep sea is not an easy place to live in. It’s cold, and it’s dark, too.

Besides the cold and darkness, deep-sea animals face a third danger—other animals. Animals eat animals! They must find food to eat. Many animals eat plants. However, some animals eat meat.

Last fall, while studying life sciences, the girls sent samples（样本）of their DNA off to Living DNA, a DNA testing company. The test results became known last week and they left a big impression on the students, who were able to make real-world connections to topics they have been studying all semester long, including genotypes（基因型）. “Students were able to maturely（成熟地）look at their results and apply what they learned in science. It’s about bringing learning to life,” said Laura Pena, the STEM program teacher. For most of the girls, the DNA test was their ancestry（血统）. Sitting with her mom, Amariah Caudle, 15, looked with her mouth wide open at the charts showing her results. She was surprised that her European ancestry was only 13 percent. Her mother, Janell Caudle, was surprised it was that high. “I didn’t think a trace（痕迹）would show up in her,” she said. “After many generations, this is still showing up in our bloodline（血统）. I was shocked by the science of it all.” DNA has a power to engage people, said Diahan Southard, Living DNA community manager. Southard believes the program gives students an understanding of DNA at an important moment, when they are still young enough to absorb lessons and change their values. Elianed Guzman, 14, said she knew little about her family except that they were from Mexico. She described in her native Spanish how surprised she was to learn that she shared genetic DNA with people in China, Japan and Korea. As the girls sat in small groups to examine their results, with reactions ranging from confusion to surprise, they began to understand what it all means. “Now I know I have family from everywhere,” said Amariah. 1．Scientists made big discoveries about the structure of DNA possibly________. A．in the 1910s B．in the 1930s C．in the 1950s D．in the 1990s 2．How did the students feel when they found out the DNA test results? A．Anxious. B．Doubtful. C．Impressed. D．Calm. 3．Why was Amariah Caudle’s mother surprised? A．People had the opportunity to test their DNA． B．The European trace showed up in Amariah’s DNA． C．Amariah possibly had European ancestry. D．Amariah shared genetic DNA with people from Asia. 4．What does Southard think of the program? A．It helps students understand their DNAs. B．It has a great power to bring people together. C．It will change their students’ DNAs. D．It should be introduced to more people around the country. 5．What did the students learn from the program? A．People need to accept who they are. B．We should learn more about family history. C．People’s personalities can be explained by their bloodlines. D．People from all over the world are connected with each other. 6．The best title for the passage is ________. A．Our amazing past B．Our amazing present C．Our amazing future D．Our past, present and future （23-24八年级上·上海普陀·期末）A reader wrote to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend wasn’t around. Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.     It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime. You want to have new friends. But how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends.     Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play with at break. Look for chances to say Hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation(欣赏) to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to the kids you want to play with.     If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help—and pretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends.     You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before she/he left: You can introduce her/him to your new friends! 1．This text is written for ________. A．teachers B．parents C．students D．visitors 2．According to the writer, some kids feel lonely at break because they ________.

A．to be a friend B．to wait for a friend C．to judge a person D．to criticize a person 5．What can you do when you meet your special best friend again? A．share something you didn’t have before she/he left B．introduce her/him to your new friends C．leave her/him alone D．A&B （23-24八年级上·上海嘉定·期末）A subway is not just an important form of transport. It is also a window for other people to learn about local cultures. Beijing, China The Beijing Subway was opened in 1969 and is the oldest subway system in China. It has added some modern technologies. All stations now have touch-screen maps. In some stations, people can also see traditional Chinese cultures.

A few stations are decorated with red bedrocks (岩床). This makes you feel as if you are in a cave. London, UK The London Underground or the Tube is the oldest subway in the world. It was opened in 1863. During World War II, it was used to protect people from German plane attacks (袭击) on London. Now, it is a symbol of the city.

It is also one of the world’s oldest public transit systems. The New York City Subway runs 24 hours a day. It has an express train on almost every line.

Do you send text messages to your friends and family?   Text messaging or “texting” is becoming very popular. But, scientists have discovered that texting can give us problems with our hands. Be careful! Too much texting can cause swelling（肿胀）in our thumbs（拇指）and wrists（手腕）. Our thumbs are not made for pushing small buttons, over and over. Scientists call this problem RSI. We spoke to a doctor called Harriet Wilson, who treats many patients with RSI. She said we needed to see how much time we were spending in typing text messages. If we are spending more than 10-15 minutes at once, we could have problems in the future. We also talked with Dr Harjeet Deepa who treats（治疗）RSI patients. He told us that the youngest patient she had treated was a five-year-old girl. She wasn’t doing well at school, so her parents took her for treatment. It was found that she had such bad RSI in her hands, she couldn’t hold a pencil. As mobile phones develop, they are getting smaller with buttons closer together. Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons. Using a computer keyboard and playing video games can also cause the same problem. So, more and more people could find themselves with RSI. Many university students and teenagers have RSI, as they do not know the danger of spending so much time using computers, video games and mobile phones. If we don’t do something about this, too many young people could grow up in terrible pain. 1．Because ________, people have the problem RSI. A．more people have mobile phones B．texting is becoming very popular C．people type too many text messages D．our thumbs were made for pushing buttons 2．________ were interviewed about the problem RSI in this passage.

A．comic strip（连环画） B．story book C．science book D．detective story 6．From the passage we know _________. A．it is better to use a larger phone with bigger buttons when we have to type B．it is worse to spend less time typing the text messages C．using the computer keyboard will never cause the problem RSI D．university students who have RSI know it’s dangerous to do too much texting （23-24八年级上·上海金山·期末）We use the Internet for many things: business, shopping, writing letters, talking to people, finding information and so on. In recent years, a new kind of English has grown on the Internet. There’s no real word for it yet, so we’ll call it e-talk.     People don’t like typing too much.
