2024-2025学年八年级英语上学期期末复习重难点突破（沪教牛津版） 专题02 期末复习之阅读理解 （1） Arctic foxes live on the land and sea ice within the Arctic Circle (北极圈). Winter in the Arctic is quite different. From October to February, the sun never rises to shine warmth and light. Luckily, these small foxes have a wonderful ability to live in the icy Arctic. Their thick fur coat and long furry tails keep the body warm. Their feet also have thick fur like built-in snow boots. This makes their prey (猎物) harder to hear their footsteps. And their white coats make it difficult for predators such as wolves, polar bears and golden eagles to find them among the ice and snow. When it’s not trying to keep warm or avoid predators, an Arctic fox is on the hunt for food. They prefer to eat small lemmings, but when times are difficult they’ll eat whatever they can find: insects, berries, and even the droppings of other animals. Sometimes an arctic fox will follow a polar bear on a hunting trip and eat the bear’s leftovers. If a fox can’t find food, or if the weather gets really bad, it can dig a den (兽穴), it can slow down its heart rate and metabolism (新陈代谢). This helps the animal save energy so it doesn’t have to eat as much. Once the animal comes out of its den, it’ll try to hunt again. With food in its belly, the Arctic fox has a better chance of making it through another long, dark water. 1．What is the weather mostly like in winter in the Arctic? ________ A．Cold and dark. B．Warm and bright. C．Cold and bright. D．Warm and dark. 2．What can help the Arctic foxes hunt for food more easily? ________ A．Their furry coats. B．Their white coats. C．Their long tails. D．Their furry feet. 3．What does the underlined word “avoid” in paragraph 3 probably mean? ________ A．Get close to. B．Run after. C．Keep away from. D．Depend on. 4．What can we learn from the passage? ________ A．Arctic foxes only live on insects. B．Arctic foxes are dangerous animals. C．Arctic foxes can stay alive in winter. D．Arctic foxes keep food in their dens. 5．What is the structure of the passage? ________ A． B． C． D． （2） Shenzhen is trying very hard to make itself more bird-friendly. As part of this try, the city has introduced many ways to stop birds from crashing (撞击) onto the glass buildings. For example, Tencent, as an important company in Shenzhen, puts wave-point stickers (波点贴纸) outside its Binhai Building to help birds out. However, Tencent workers found that there were still a number of bird crashes even with the stickers. In their experiment, five birds crashed and dropped, and another six birds even died because of crashes in a short time. To solve this problem, Tencent decided to develop more ways to stop bird crashes. Tencent has made a WeChat miniprogram to encourage more companies to join in the bird protection. The miniprogram includes ways to stop bird crashes. It also provides suggestions for people on how to save the injured (受伤的) birds or to get help for them in time. Besides special stickers, Shenzhen has also used nighttime light rules to make a safer environment for city birds. Because the birds’ sleep cycle begins around 8 p. m., people turn off the park lights during the night. This helps create a better environment for birds and other wildlife. 1．What helps stop birds from crashing onto buildings in Paragraph 2? A．Special stickers. B．Bird clocks. C．Daytime light rules. D．Special buildings. 2．How many birds were mentioned in Tencent’s experiment? A．5. B．6. C．11. D．30. 3．What does the company Tencent do to protect birds? A．To make its building more beautiful. B．To do experiments to test birds’ ability. C．To turn on the nighttime lights for birds. D．To develop more ways to help the birds. 4．Why did the writer write Paragraph 4? A．To give people suggestions on how to keep birds. B．To tell people more information about bird types. C．To encourage more companies to join in the protection. D．To guide more companies to set up more miniprograms. 5．Which is the best title for the article? A．Shenzhen builds more homes for birds in the city. B．Shenzhen tries to create bird-friendly environment. C．Shenzhen works hard to make itself more beautiful. D．Shenzhen succeeds in setting up more new companies. （3） Do you know mosquitoes (蚊子)? They live almost all over the world. The number of mosquitoes isn’t high if a city has many cold days and nights. But if the city has a lot of rain and the weather is warm, there are a lot of mosquitoes. Well, when the weather gets about 32℃, they will become less active. When the air is dry and windy, it is also hard for them to live. Even the Arctic (北极地区) has a large number of mosquitoes. During summer, the temperature of some places there can be over 30℃. It is comfortable for mosquitoes to live there. Also, mosquitoes have few enemies (敌人) in the Arctic. They can grow bigger than those in other places. ▲ That is Iceland. The weather there is quite hard for mosquitoes to live. Usually, the adult mosquitoes lay eggs (产卵) in water or near it. If the weather is hot enough, the baby mosquitoes will become adult mosquitoes soon. However, the weather is cool even in summer in Iceland. And because the weather changes a lot, the eggs of mosquitoes can’t grow up. 1．What can we learn about mosquitoes from Paragraph 1? A．Their different sizes. B．Their favourite food. C．Their natural enemies. D．Their favourite weather. 2．Which question is answered in Paragraph 2? A．What’s the weather like in the Arctic? B．Why do mosquitoes live well in the Arctic? C．What animals are the enemies of mosquitoes? D．How can mosquitoes’ eggs stay alive in the Arctic? 3．Which of the following sentences can be put in ________?

C．Because their eggs can’t live in such weather there. D．Because it’s hard for mosquitoes to spend the winter there. 5．In which part of an English magazine can we find the passage? A．Travel. B．History. C．Culture. D．Science. （4） Do you know ChatGPT? 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. Should we rethink how we use AI? 1．Which of the following can ChatGPT do? ①Answer questions.    ②Sing songs.    ③Write articles.    ④Tell stories.

B．100. C．50. D．500. 4．What can we learn from Paragraph 4 and Paragraph 5? A．ChatGPT is the only AI tool around the world. B．The number of data centers is not growing now. C．AI tools can work in a better way without any water. D．We may have to “fight” with AI for water in the future. 5．What is the main idea of the article? A．ChatGPT is a good artificial intelligence tool. B．ChatGPT needs lots of water when it works. C．ChatGPT helps people do many different things. D．ChatGPT has “homes” around the world in data centers. （5） Dmitry Doronin, a doctoral student from Russia, is keen to share his experience in rural villages in Zhejiang Province with his 1.4 million followers online. Since Dmitry started to live in the countryside last August, the 32-year-old has created hundreds of videos that record the relaxing lifestyle in Hengzhang village, Lishui city. “The rice is grown in the fields together with fish, which helps to increase rice production,” said Dmitry while he was introducing agricultural (农业的) products from Hengzhang village on Douyin, a popular short-video platform in China. Besides filming videos, Dmitry also enjoys working with farmers in the fields, doing activities such as planting and harvesting vegetables. Dmitry said living in a village provides him with unique experiences, quite different from the busy life in Shanghai, where he studies. And he has been a pleasant surprise to the villagers as well. Villager Bao Mingyue, 76, says, “To our surprise, the young Russian not only knows how to cook Chinese food but is interested in working in the fields.” Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, the sales of local agricultural products had dropped rapidly, so Dmitry volunteered to help promote (推销) the products in his videos. In a few months, 10,000 kilograms of oranges, 4,000 kilograms of dried sweet potatoes and 300 kilograms of honey had been sold. “Thanks to his videos, more and more tourists have come to visit our village,” says 72-year-old Pan Xianyu, who is very happy to see the great changes in her hometown. Dmitry loves his country life. “In the countryside, you can enjoy yourself in the traditional way of life and understand this country better,” he says. According to him, some Russians’ opinions about China are still out of date, although China has progressed greatly. “I would like to become a people-to-people envoy (使者) of friendship between the two countries by using the Internet,” he says. 1．Which of the following is true about Dmitry?

Recently, he has become popular online by building a miniature (缩微模型) of the Tiangong space station out of bamboo. Xie was born and grew up in Wuyi Mountain. On Douyin, a popular short-video platform, Xie surprised many people because he cut bamboo into pieces quickly with a knife. He said it took him 46 days to finish his miniature space station. Xie began to learn bamboo weaving when he was young. “I found bamboo weaving is so attractive to me. With my thinking, I can make anything,” he said. Xie tries his best to pass on the skill. He built a bamboo weaving museum so that visitors can watch and take photos of his works there. At his workshop in the Wuyi Mountain, people can learn how to make earrings and bracelets (手镯), as well as buy some hand-made works. Xie has more than 27, 000 fans on Douyin and most of them were born after 1990 or 2000.

The programme focuses on these heroes’ contributions to their careers and hard work to improve Chinese people’s lives. Through their strong will and love for their motherland shown by the heroes, the programme hopes to encourage and educate the young people. When other programmes record the whole life of these winners, this programme is centered on their most shining moments. For example, we can see how Li Yannian uses his courage and intelligence to win the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea (抗美援朝), how Tu Youyou tries her best to develop artemisinin (青蒿素), how Shen Jilan works hard to fight for women’s labor rights and how Yu Min overcame difficulties and made great contributions to hydrogen bomb (氢弹) from this programme. 1．Who is the most likely to win the Medal of the Republic?

Wang’s dream of becoming the first female astronaut was inspired (鼓舞) by Yang Liwei’s 2003 space flight, which was China’s first manned space mission. “Now China has its first man in space, when will our country have its first woman,” thought Wang. Born in a small village in Yantai, Shandong Province in 1980, Wang had been an intelligent long-distance runner since primary school, and competed in local sports meetings. In 1997, Wang, a high school student, was encouraged to apply for the pilot training program because she was good at sports and didn’t wear glasses. Given her strong ability to stay calm, Wang passed all tests as well as physical examinations and became part of the seventh batch of female pilots in China. After four years of education and training, Wang finally learned to fly four different types of aircraft before graduation. She got the top level at the end of 2011. However, Liu Yang, instead of Wang, was chosen for the historic mission of becoming China’s first woman in space in June 2012. Wang was disappointed because it was her dream as well. But she told Liu, “We are proud of you and both of our dreams come true when you make it.” In 2020, a team of Chinese university students translated cosmic rays (宇宙射线) into music. They said the project was inspired by Wang’s live space speech, when they were teenagers.

When you want to get up early to watch the sunrise, your friends may think that getting enough sleep is more important. And when you want to try the local food, your friends might think it’s a bad idea and take you to a Chinese restaurant. So, you see, traveling with others may stop you from doing what you want to do. This is probably why more people these days would like to ________. In fact, travelling alone is only a part of a recent trend（趋势）of people wanting to take more time alone—or what’s called “Me time”. “Me time” refers to time taken just for yourself. It’s also called “alone time”. Many people feel that in their daily lives, they are always giving their time to others so that they spend little or no time on themselves. “Me time” solves this problem by giving them time to spend on activities they enjoy. During their “me time”, people can do anything they like. Meghan Markle, once wrote about how she enjoyed having her “Me time”. “I often take myself to dinner and travel alone. It’s hard. But it’s important.” She wrote. 1．Why is it not easy for you to enjoy yourselves when travelling with others? A．Because others may stop you from watching the sunrise.

It carried the childhood dream of Li Zhenghan, an engineering student in Zhejiang. Li has dreamt of going into space since he was a child. Unluckily, he didn’t pass the medical examination (体检) for pilot training in high school. But he didn’t give up and got the idea to send a small toy into space after seeing similar experiments online. However, he just started college at that time and had no idea how to do it. Over the years, he kept learning and became experienced in engineering experiment. Finally, Li felt that the time was right. He shared his idea with some schoolmates. They all found it cool and decided to send their school mascot, a toy bear in a lab coat, into space. The big day finally arrived in the past October. After studying many factors (因素), the team decided to fly the bear from Li’s hometown in northeastern China. After careful checks, they tied the toy to a helium (氦气) balloon and watched it slowly rise into the sky. Through a camera, Li saw not only what things on Earth looked like, but also the planet’s blue halo (光晕). In fact, the bear’s journey was not as smooth as it appeared in the video. Li met all kinds of problems, but nothing could destroy his dream. Li says they will keep working on many more projects. One day, another “bear” will take off from their hands. 1．Why did Li decide to send a toy bear to space? A．To get ready for pilot training. B．To realize his childhood dream.

Dorner Middle School is in New York, America. There is a special club in the school library called the Genius Bar. It is an IT help desk run by some students. These students can fix (修理) computers and even give teachers help in using technology. Now there are more than 20 students in the club. They go to the library during lunchtime and other times of the day. They offer service to those outside their school. For example, an education center bought a tool (工具) for its students to use, but no one there knew how to put it together. They shipped it over to the school and the Genius Bar kids put it together. Every week, new boxes of different things would appear. When artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT appeared, the Genius Bar kids were the first to try using them. It has already been a group where students try out new things, find out what works, and what’s exciting for kids. It has also given some students ideas about their future jobs. Owen Brennan is one of the club members. He said, “I think a lot of students probably didn’t notice that they were interested in computers and learning about technology. But after this, they got to know that it may be something that they want to do as a future job.” 1．The first paragraph tells us ________. A．what the Genius Bar is B．why the Genius Bar is important C．when people set up the Genius Bar D．how many students are in the Genius Bar 2．The students in the Genius Bar help do the following things EXCEPT ________.

A lot of people choose to use Mandarin (普通话) over dialects (方言) in daily lives these days. As a result, some local dialects are in danger of disappearing. To save them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project a few years ago. This project looks at how people talk in 1,712 places. Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone. It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world. There’s an online library where people can learn dialects from over 5.6 million audio clips (音频) and over 5 million videos. Scholar Zhang Hongming talked about his worries. “For about over 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect. Meanwhile, young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this keeps happening, the dialect might disappear,” he said. So how did China make this big library? A big national effort has been put into the project to make it happen. Over five years, more than 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers joined in. The project is now entering into its second part. This includes creating tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people learn dialects. Language protection matters to all of us. For ordinary people, posting audio clips and videos of dialects can also help keep them alive. 1．Why was the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project started?

A．The library. B．The project. C．The effort. D．The tool. 5．What is the best title of this passage? A．Languages in Danger B．Main Dialects in China C．Action to Save Dialects D．Tools for Creating Dialects （13） Studying in the US, I have seen many fun examples of US high school culture. Every Friday, our school’s football team plays against other schools’ football teams, either at our school or at another school nearby. Students buy tickets to support their school team or to just hang out with friends. Homecoming is a tradition celebrated every year in the US. At homecoming, a school welcomes back former students. That is where the name comes from. It means, “coming home”. Homecoming dances are hosted every October. During the homecoming week, students dress up according to the school’s theme(主题), including pajama (睡衣) day, twin day, dress-like-your-younger-self day and others. Then on the Saturday of homecoming week, there is the homecoming dance! Students wear dress shirts, bow ties or dance dresses. Junior 3 and Senior 3 students also have a Prom(毕业舞会). I have never been to Prom before, but I’ve learned that Prom is a much more formal(正式的) dance to celebrate graduation(毕业). For homecoming, girls usually wear knee-length dresses. But for Prom, most people will go for a longer, more formal dress. “My high school experience in the US so far has been meaningful and enjoyable. It has helped me to become a well-rounded person as I could train myself in all kinds of activities.” —Wu Zhijing, 14, from Mason City Schools, US. 1．According to Wu Zhijing, how often does the football team in his school play against other schools?

As part of this try, the city has introduced many ways to stop birds from crashing (撞击) onto the glass buildings. For example, Tencent, as an important company in Shenzhen, puts wave-point stickers (波点贴纸) outside its Binhai Building to help birds out. However, Tencent workers found that there were still a number of bird crashes even with the stickers. In their experiment, five birds crashed and dropped, and another six birds even died because of crashes in a short time. To solve this problem, Tencent decided to develop more ways to stop bird crashes. Tencent has made a WeChat miniprogram to encourage more companies to join in the bird protection. The miniprogram includes ways to stop bird crashes. It also provides suggestions for people on how to save the injured (受伤的) birds or to get help for them in time. Besides special stickers, Shenzhen has also used nighttime light rules to make a safer environment for city birds. Because the birds’ sleep cycle begins around 8 p. m., people turn off the park lights during the night. This helps create a better environment for birds and other wildlife. 1．What helps stop birds from crashing onto buildings in Paragraph 2? A．Special stickers. B．Bird clocks. C．Daytime light rules. D．Special buildings. 2．How many birds were mentioned in Tencent’s experiment? A．5. B．6. C．11. D．30. 3．What does the company Tencent do to protect birds? A．To make its building more beautiful.

They live almost all over the world. The number of mosquitoes isn’t high if a city has many cold days and nights. But if the city has a lot of rain and the weather is warm, there are a lot of mosquitoes. Well, when the weather gets about 32℃, they will become less active. When the air is dry and windy, it is also hard for them to live. Even the Arctic (北极地区) has a large number of mosquitoes. During summer, the temperature of some places there can be over 30℃. It is comfortable for mosquitoes to live there. Also, mosquitoes have few enemies (敌人) in the Arctic. They can grow bigger than those in other places. ▲ That is Iceland. The weather there is quite hard for mosquitoes to live. Usually, the adult mosquitoes lay eggs (产卵) in water or near it. If the weather is hot enough, the baby mosquitoes will become adult mosquitoes soon. However, the weather is cool even in summer in Iceland. And because the weather changes a lot, the eggs of mosquitoes can’t grow up. 1．What can we learn about mosquitoes from Paragraph 1? A．Their different sizes. B．Their favourite food. C．Their natural enemies. D．Their favourite weather. 2．Which question is answered in Paragraph 2? A．What’s the weather like in the Arctic? B．Why do mosquitoes live well in the Arctic? C．What animals are the enemies of mosquitoes? D．How can mosquitoes’ eggs stay alive in the Arctic? 3．Which of the following sentences can be put in ________?

C．Because their eggs can’t live in such weather there. D．Because it’s hard for mosquitoes to spend the winter there. 5．In which part of an English magazine can we find the passage? A．Travel. B．History. C．Culture. D．Science. （4） Do you know ChatGPT? 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. Should we rethink how we use AI? 1．Which of the following can ChatGPT do? ①Answer questions.    ②Sing songs.    ③Write articles.    ④Tell stories. A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①③④ D．①②④ 2．What does “them” refer to in Paragraph 2? A．Homes. B．Computers. C．Workers. D．Pipes. 3．If you ask ONE question, how many milliliters of water can ChatGPT “drink”? A．10. B．100. C．50. D．500. 4．What can we learn from Paragraph 4 and Paragraph 5? A．ChatGPT is the only AI tool around the world. B．The number of data centers is not growing now. C．AI tools can work in a better way without any water. D．We may have to “fight” with AI for water in the future. 5．What is the main idea of the article? A．ChatGPT is a good artificial intelligence tool. B．ChatGPT needs lots of water when it works. C．ChatGPT helps people do many different things. D．ChatGPT has “homes” around the world in data centers. （5） Dmitry Doronin, a doctoral student from Russia, is keen to share his experience in rural villages in Zhejiang Province with his 1.4 million followers online. Since Dmitry started to live in the countryside last August, the 32-year-old has created hundreds of videos that record the relaxing lifestyle in Hengzhang village, Lishui city. “The rice is grown in the fields together with fish, which helps to increase rice production,” said Dmitry while he was introducing agricultural (农业的) products from Hengzhang village on Douyin, a popular short-video platform in China. Besides filming videos, Dmitry also enjoys working with farmers in the fields, doing activities such as planting and harvesting vegetables. Dmitry said living in a village provides him with unique experiences, quite different from the busy life in Shanghai, where he studies. And he has been a pleasant surprise to the villagers as well. Villager Bao Mingyue, 76, says, “To our surprise, the young Russian not only knows how to cook Chinese food but is interested in working in the fields.” Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, the sales of local agricultural products had dropped rapidly, so Dmitry volunteered to help promote (推销) the products in his videos. In a few months, 10,000 kilograms of oranges, 4,000 kilograms of dried sweet potatoes and 300 kilograms of honey had been sold. “Thanks to his videos, more and more tourists have come to visit our village,” says 72-year-old Pan Xianyu, who is very happy to see the great changes in her hometown. Dmitry loves his country life. “In the countryside, you can enjoy yourself in the traditional way of life and understand this country better,” he says. According to him, some Russians’ opinions about China are still out of date, although China has progressed greatly. “I would like to become a people-to-people envoy (使者) of friendship between the two countries by using the Internet,” he says. 1．Which of the following is true about Dmitry?

Wang’s dream of becoming the first female astronaut was inspired (鼓舞) by Yang Liwei’s 2003 space flight, which was China’s first manned space mission. “Now China has its first man in space, when will our country have its first woman,” thought Wang. Born in a small village in Yantai, Shandong Province in 1980, Wang had been an intelligent long-distance runner since primary school, and competed in local sports meetings. In 1997, Wang, a high school student, was encouraged to apply for the pilot training program because she was good at sports and didn’t wear glasses. Given her strong ability to stay calm, Wang passed all tests as well as physical examinations and became part of the seventh batch of female pilots in China. After four years of education and training, Wang finally learned to fly four different types of aircraft before graduation. She got the top level at the end of 2011. However, Liu Yang, instead of Wang, was chosen for the historic mission of becoming China’s first woman in space in June 2012. Wang was disappointed because it was her dream as well. But she told Liu, “We are proud of you and both of our dreams come true when you make it.” In 2020, a team of Chinese university students translated cosmic rays (宇宙射线) into music. They said the project was inspired by Wang’s live space speech, when they were teenagers.

When you want to get up early to watch the sunrise, your friends may think that getting enough sleep is more important. And when you want to try the local food, your friends might think it’s a bad idea and take you to a Chinese restaurant. So, you see, traveling with others may stop you from doing what you want to do. This is probably why more people these days would like to ________. In fact, travelling alone is only a part of a recent trend（趋势）of people wanting to take more time alone—or what’s called “Me time”. “Me time” refers to time taken just for yourself. It’s also called “alone time”. Many people feel that in their daily lives, they are always giving their time to others so that they spend little or no time on themselves. “Me time” solves this problem by giving them time to spend on activities they enjoy. During their “me time”, people can do anything they like. Meghan Markle, once wrote about how she enjoyed having her “Me time”. “I often take myself to dinner and travel alone. It’s hard. But it’s important.” She wrote. 1．Why is it not easy for you to enjoy yourselves when travelling with others? A．Because others may stop you from watching the sunrise.

It carried the childhood dream of Li Zhenghan, an engineering student in Zhejiang. Li has dreamt of going into space since he was a child. Unluckily, he didn’t pass the medical examination (体检) for pilot training in high school. But he didn’t give up and got the idea to send a small toy into space after seeing similar experiments online. However, he just started college at that time and had no idea how to do it. Over the years, he kept learning and became experienced in engineering experiment. Finally, Li felt that the time was right. He shared his idea with some schoolmates. They all found it cool and decided to send their school mascot, a toy bear in a lab coat, into space. The big day finally arrived in the past October. After studying many factors (因素), the team decided to fly the bear from Li’s hometown in northeastern China. After careful checks, they tied the toy to a helium (氦气) balloon and watched it slowly rise into the sky. Through a camera, Li saw not only what things on Earth looked like, but also the planet’s blue halo (光晕). In fact, the bear’s journey was not as smooth as it appeared in the video. Li met all kinds of problems, but nothing could destroy his dream. Li says they will keep working on many more projects.

Dorner Middle School is in New York, America. There is a special club in the school library called the Genius Bar. It is an IT help desk run by some students. These students can fix (修理) computers and even give teachers help in using technology. Now there are more than 20 students in the club. They go to the library during lunchtime and other times of the day. They offer service to those outside their school. For example, an education center bought a tool (工具) for its students to use, but no one there knew how to put it together. They shipped it over to the school and the Genius Bar kids put it together. Every week, new boxes of different things would appear. When artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT appeared, the Genius Bar kids were the first to try using them. It has already been a group where students try out new things, find out what works, and what’s exciting for kids. It has also given some students ideas about their future jobs. Owen Brennan is one of the club members. He said, “I think a lot of students probably didn’t notice that they were interested in computers and learning about technology.

A lot of people choose to use Mandarin (普通话) over dialects (方言) in daily lives these days. As a result, some local dialects are in danger of disappearing. To save them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project a few years ago. This project looks at how people talk in 1,712 places. Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone. It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world. There’s an online library where people can learn dialects from over 5.6 million audio clips (音频) and over 5 million videos. Scholar Zhang Hongming talked about his worries. “For about over 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect. Meanwhile, young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this keeps happening, the dialect might disappear,” he said. So how did China make this big library? A big national effort has been put into the project to make it happen. Over five years, more than 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers joined in. The project is now entering into its second part. This includes creating tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people learn dialects. Language protection matters to all of us. For ordinary people, posting audio clips and videos of dialects can also help keep them alive. 1．Why was the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project started?

A．The library. B．The project. C．The effort. D．The tool. 5．What is the best title of this passage? A．Languages in Danger B．Main Dialects in China C．Action to Save Dialects D．Tools for Creating Dialects （13） Studying in the US, I have seen many fun examples of US high school culture. Every Friday, our school’s football team plays against other schools’ football teams, either at our school or at another school nearby. Students buy tickets to support their school team or to just hang out with friends. Homecoming is a tradition celebrated every year in the US. At homecoming, a school welcomes back former students. That is where the name comes from. It means, “coming home”. Homecoming dances are hosted every October. During the homecoming week, students dress up according to the school’s theme(主题), including pajama (睡衣) day, twin day, dress-like-your-younger-self day and others. Then on the Saturday of homecoming week, there is the homecoming dance! Students wear dress shirts, bow ties or dance dresses. Junior 3 and Senior 3 students also have a Prom(毕业舞会). I have never been to Prom before, but I’ve learned that Prom is a much more formal(正式的) dance to celebrate graduation(毕业). For homecoming, girls usually wear knee-length dresses. But for Prom, most people will go for a longer, more formal dress. “My high school experience in the US so far has been meaningful and enjoyable. It has helped me to become a well-rounded person as I could train myself in all kinds of activities.” —Wu Zhijing, 14, from Mason City Schools, US. 1．According to Wu Zhijing, how often does the football team in his school play against other schools?
