He enjoyed teaching him some of the things he may not be taught in school. Grandfathers have a special relation with their grandchildren. They can often pass down some experience that will be helpful to the younger people. One day, Shawn told his grandfather about a class science project that he was very excited about. Each student was going to grow a pot of bean plants. When the plants grew big and strong, the students were to plant them in a garden at the school. They each wanted to grow the strongest and best bean plant. Shawn showed his grandfather the bean seeds (种子). He explained that his teacher taught them how to make the seeds grow. First, they put the seeds on a wet paper towel. Then, they put them near a warm window. When the seeds come out, they are ready to be moved into a pot. Alter listening to his grandson, Mr. Worth said, “You do just as you learned, but I want to show you one more thing about growing plants.” “When I was a boy, my father showed me how to grow strong plants,” he continued. “When the plant is starting out, you put some weight (重量) on it.” Shawn looked at his grandfather in surprise. “Doesn’t the weight stop the bean from growing?” he asked. “No, of course not. This way, the bean plant will be strong and healthy. If you give it everything it wants, it will grow too fast and it will be weak. It will fall over when the first big wind blows.” Shawn listened carefully. He wanted to grow the bean in the way his grandfather suggested. He could hardly wait to tell his friends what he had learned that day. 1．What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A．Mr. Worth is a science teacher in a school. B．Shawn lives together with his grandfather.

D．Waiting for children to grow up on their own is the best way. 3.（23-24八年级下·辽宁营口·期中）Communication between schools and parents is important to the well-being and progress of students. How do your school and your parents communicate? In my school, parent-school communication is mostly done through emails. This lets parents know what is happening at their children’s school. To improve parent-teacher communication. Parent Breakfasts are organized at the beginning of each academic year (学年) so that parents can meet the head teacher and subject teachers of their children this year. Parent Evenings also take place each term to let parents know their children’s progress in school. There is not a parent committee (委员会) at my school but parents can be part of the Friends Group. They can help organize school events. —Mary, UK At my school, parents communicate with the school through the family-school contact pamphlet (手册). Parents can leave a message on the pamphlet, and then the student gives the pamphlet to the head teacher the next day. The head teacher will read the messages and reply. There is also a family committee in my class. It helps the teachers pass on the messages about school to our parents. —Betty, China At my school, parents and teachers keep in touch in many ways. One of them is the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA). The PTA is a voluntary organization (志愿组织) that brings together parents and teachers to discuss and deal with problems with school education. Another way of communication is through parent-teacher meetings. They let parents and teachers meet face-to-face to discuss a student’s progress and performance. —Tony, China Interviews go both ways here, allowing both the school and parents to discuss concerns (担忧) or ask questions. These meetings are planned one-on-one for privacy. They serve to avoid making students or parents feel uncomfortable if the school needs to talk about certain problems. While meetings can be planned at any time, the most common are the end-of-term reports. Each term has 8-10 weeks for students to attend school. Their teachers use the information collected to provide feedback (反馈) to families in about 10-15 minutes. Students often attend these meetings, too. —Chelsea, Australia 1．How many ways of keeping in touch between parents and schools are mentioned by Mary? A．2. B．3. C．4.

Boya was good at playing the guqin. One day, he was playing music on his way home on the boat. To Boya’s surprise, Ziqi, a woodcutter who happened to pass by, could understand exactly what he wanted to express through his music. After a long talk, they became good friends. Since Boya had to return to his state, they agreed to meet again in the following year. Unfortunately, when getting back to visit Ziqi, Boya heard that his friend had died from a disease (疾病). Boya was so sad and in front of Ziqi’s tomb (墓), he played again the music he had played when they first met. The feeling of the music was so strong that it was as if the rivers and the mountains were crying. When finishing playing, Boya broke his guqin into pieces. From then on, Boya never played again. People in the Song Dynasty built the Guqin Tai in Hanyang to the memory of the deep friendship between Boya and Ziqi. It became an important part of the local culture. Zhiyin culture has new development in the new period. The famous ancient Chinese classical (古典的) music piece Gaoshan Liushui was performed during the G20 Summit in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province in 2016.

It was started in 1931 to remind everyone on our planet to care about animals. Unluckily, many wild animals are facing great danger. Some even became extinct and cannot be seen forever. Recently, China has done much to improve the living condition of endangered wild animals. The protection of Asian elephants is a good example. Asian elephants in China are mostly found in Yunnan Province. These animals have become endangered because some people are killing for their teeth. The government (政府) has been trying to protect them. For example, elephants teeth business is not allowed. This can greatly prevent elephants hunting. Another example is the protection of the Yangtze finless porpoise (江豚). Because of lots of over-fishing and water pollution, the population of the Yangtze finless porpoise was just 1, 012 in 2018. That number was lower than the number of giant pandas. In 2020, the government once put a 10-year fishing ban (禁令). This action is very useful and now people can see a group of Yangtze finless porpoises jump and play in the Yangtze River. With World Animal Day around the corner, we all can think of more ways to better protect our wild friends. As we share this Earth with all living things, we can truly make a difference for all animals. 1．Why was World Animal Day started? A．To introduce wild animals to the public. B．To encourage us to care about wild animals. C．To collect information about wild animals. D．To count the population of wild animals. 2．What does the underlined word “extinct” mean in the first paragraph? A．Rise in number. B．Drop in number. C．Appear. D．Disappear. 3．What has the government done to prevent elephants hunting? A．Stop elephants teeth business. B．Provide elephants with food. C．Protect elephants in a zoo. D．Grow more trees for elephants. 4．What can we learn about Yangtze finless porpoise from Paragraph 3? A．Their population was 1,012 in 2020. B．Their population is larger than that of giant pandas in 2018. C．They were in danger because of over-fishing and air pollution. D．Their number is higher because the government put a fishing ban. 6.（23-24八年级下·辽宁沈阳·期中）“Cats!” “Dogs!” These look like fighting words. But you may know clearly there are dog people and cat people. Dog people think dogs are “ man’s best friends”, while cat people like cats because of their elegance (优雅) and independence (独立). Sometimes the two groups even argue with each other. Which pet do people like better? Dogs seem to win. An associated opinion poll (民意调查) showed that people in the US like dogs more than cats. 74% said they liked dogs “a lot”, but only 41% said the same thing about cats. The Pet Industry White Paper also showed that there are around 11,000,000 more dog owners than cat owners in Chinese cities. However, cats seem to have more attention online. People call them “masters” (喵主子) online while the dog owners are “servants who clean their masters’ feces” (铲屎官). Even those who don’t have pet cats are doing something called “cloud cat petting” (云吸猫). It means taking pictures and videos of cats online. An article in The Guardian pointed out that dog owners usually go outside to play with their pets or their neighbors’ dogs. But cats are mainly indoor animals, so the Internet becomes a virtual (虚拟的) “cat park” for cat owners. But it doesn’t really matter if you like cats or dogs better. Keeping a relation with any animal can make us feel good. 1．What does the underlined word “argue” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Understand. B．Require. C．Disagree. D．Offer. 2．According to the text, if you are outgoing and like outside activities, _________.

B．There are more dog owners than cat owners in America. C．Cloud cat petting means putting cats on the cloud. D．In China, people like cats as much as they like dogs. 4．How is the text organized? (①=Paragraph l, ②=Paragraph 2, …) A． B． C． D． 7.（23-24八年级下·辽宁阜新·期中）Some people believe that humans could live on the planet Mars by the year 2100. Our own planet, the Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. It is hoped that people could start again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life there could be like. At present, our spacecraft are too slow to carry large numbers of passengers (乘客) to Mars and it would take months. With the development of technology, by the year 2100, the journey might only take about 20 minutes in spacecraft that travel at the speed (速度) of light! However, the spacecraft would travel really fast, so the journey to Mars might be quite uncomfortable. Many people would feel ill. Humans can’t live without water, air or food. So far, nobody knows if there would be enough water or air on Mars for people. Moreover, scientists are not sure if plants could grow on Mars. Food would most probably be made like pills (药片) and would not keep long. Compared with life on the earth, life on Mars would be better in some ways. People would have more space. They might live in houses with huge comfortable rooms. Also, robots would do lots of their work so that they could have more time to relax. There would probably be no schools. Every student would study at online schools with “e-teachers”. Life on Mars would be interesting and challenging (充满挑战的). However, it may take hundreds of years to make it true. So the most important thing we need to do now is to protect our beautiful blue planet-the Earth! 1．People would move to Mars because ________. A．they want to challenge themselves B．the earth is crowded and polluted C．flying to Mars would be fun D．plants could grow better there 2．The underlined word “spacecraft” means ________. A．spaceships B．hot-air balloons C．space stations D．planes 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．There would be enough water and air on Mars for people. B．Food on Mars would be more delicious than that on the earth. C．The writer thinks living on Mars would be full of challenges. D．People would be busy with work on Mars. 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．School s on Mars B．Food on Mars C．Life on Mars D．Environment on the Earth 8.（23-24八年级下·山东烟台·期中）Many admire great people, but few know what difficulties those people went through. As an autobiographical (自传体的) book, The Long Walk to Freedom gives people a look into the life of Nelson Mandela, a freedom fighter of South Africa and the late president (总统) of the country. Mandela was born into an African royal (皇室) family on July 18, 1918. But Mandela chose a life way of fighting for common people instead of royalty. At that time, South Africa was controlled by white people. They passed a law that stopped black people from living or traveling where they wanted. Black people didn’t have the right to speak out their thoughts about the government and leaders, either. Mandela didn’t think that was fair. He organized many activities against it. Because of this, in 1962, he was put into prison (监狱), after he was set free in 1990, he chose to forgive those who did wrong things to him instead of hating them. He shook hands with the people who wanted him dead. He also encouraged black people to forgive white people. Mandela’s story, told in his own words, goes all over the world and talks about how to build a world where everyone is included. He believed in bringing people together. These lessons could help people everywhere, including China. As China becomes more important in the world, Mandela’s journey teaches us important things about dealing with other countries (社会和谐). As an autobiography writer, Mandela also did a good job and didn’t make the book sound self-important. He expressed his feelings well, making the readers understand his and others’ hard times. With such writing skills, a book with more than 600 pages can be easier to read. 1．What can we know about The Long Walk to Freedom according to the passage? A．It’s a book about African royal life. B．It shows people’s love for Mandela. C．It helps people better understand Mandela. D．It was written to remember Mandela. 2．What does the underlined word “forgive” mean? A．Say “Never mind” to. B．Give money to. C．Feel sorry for. D．Refuse help from. 3．What can China mainly learn from Mandela’s spirit? A．How to promise people’s freedom. B．How to help African people to be rich. C．How to keep people safe from prisons. D．How to deal with international relationships. 4．Why is Mandela’s book easy to read? A．Because he stressed personal experiences. B．Because Mandela hardly shared his feelings. C．Because an autobiography writer helped him to write it. D．Because it is heartfelt and shows understanding toward others. 9.（23-24八年级下·辽宁沈阳·期中）Did you know that the Beijing Winter Olympic Village had a rooftop (屋顶) farm? It covered 4,620 square meters. To relax, athletes and coaches (教练) could try growing vegetables there. It shows just how much Chinese people love growing vegetables. China has a lot of available land for planting things. For centuries, Chinese people made a living through farming. The Book of Songs (《诗经》), written 2,500 years ago, records many kinds of vegetables. Nowadays, even though some Chinese people no longer have a lot of land, they still grow vegetables where they can. Xue Ling, 35, is one of them. Since 2010, she has been planting vegetables on the balcony (阳台) of her apartment in Jinan, Shandong province. “It’s the only way to keep my food, at least the vegetables, clean and safe,” she told China Daily. Caroline Ma from Hong Kong grows vegetables as a hobby. In 2020, Ma started farming on her rooftop and began planting seeds collected during her travels. For Ma, farming is a meditative (冥想的) experience. “I am in my own little world and I can forget about the world’s problems,” she said. It seems that planting vegetables brings more than just food for Chinese people. 1．Why did the Beijing Winter Olympic Village have a rooftop farm? A．To help the athletes and coaches relax.

D．Why Chinese people liked growing vegetables in the past. 10.（23-24八年级下·山东潍坊·期中）Nowadays, many astronomers (天文学家) are looking for new planets and new places for humans to live in the future. But where do astronomers start exploring (探索)? First of all, astronomers look for a star. That’s because our own Earth moves around a star—the Sun. More importantly, it is neither too far from nor too near to the Sun for heat and light. So when astronomers have found the star, they look at the planets around it. In recent years, astronomers have found nearly 400 new planets with stars. Many of these planets are either too near to the star or too far away. However, if the planet is in a good place, astronomers look for three key things: water, air and rock (岩石). Water is the most important because all life needs water. Humans can drink it and they can also grow plants with water. And plants produce air for humans to breathe (呼吸) and food to eat. Rock on a planet is also important. That’s because there is often water under the rock. After many years of exploring, astronomers have found a planet like the Earth. It’s Gliese 581 g and it’s near a star. The astronomers think it has water and rock and the temperature is between -31℃ and -12℃. That’s cold, but not colder than Antarctica or the Arctic Circle. A year on Gliese 581 g is only 37 Earth days, not 365 Earth days. But astronomers do not think these are big differences and some of them think Gliese 581 g will be a new Earth. 1．How do astronomers discover a new planet for humans to live on? Choose the right order. 　 　 a.Astronomers look for three key things. b.Astronomers look for and find a right star. c.Astronomers look at the planets around the star. A．a-b-c B．b-a-c C．b-c-a D．c-a-b 2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．The Earth. B．Gliese 581 g. C．The Sun. D．Gliese. 3．Which of the following is TRUE? A．A year on Gliese 581 g is 365 Earth days. B．Water is the most important for life on a planet. C．The temperature of Gliese 581 g is colder than Antarctica. D．Nowadays, astronomers have found nearly 400 new stars with planets. 4．What’s the main idea of the text? A．Gliese 581 g is already a new Earth. B．There are some planets like our Earth. C．Water, air and rock are important. D．Astronomers are looking for a new Earth. 11.（23-24八年级下·辽宁大连·期中） It’s possible for human to land on Mars. We have already sent several spaceships to Mars. Some of them have landed on Mars. However, none of them had humans. Astronauts have walked on the moon, but so far, nobody has ever set foot on Mars. Many scientists believe that someday we will send astronauts to Mars. This is not an easy thing to do. The biggest challenge (挑战) is the cost. Another challenge is health problems that astronauts might have. Staying too long in a place could cause other health problems—it could even make a person go blind or cause other serious health problems. Although there are so many challenges, some scientists and people still think that we should send astronauts to Mars. The governments of the United States, Russia, Germany, China and other countries are all interested in visiting Mars. There are also private companies that are interested in doing it. ▲ With the technology that we have today, it would take six or seven months. However, we might soon have technology that would let us make the trip in only two weeks. In 1969, the United States sent astronauts to the moon. Those astronauts have already returned to Earth. Some people think that if the first astronauts have the chance to reach Mars, they should build a colony (聚居地) and live on it for the rest of their lives. That way, it will be easier for more astronauts to reach Mars later. Buzz Aldrin, the second person who walked on the moon, is one of the people who agrees with this idea. He once said, “Forget the moon. Let’s go to Mars!” 1．________ is the most difficult one to send astronauts to Mars. A．Not having a good spaceship B．Spending too much money C．Astronauts’ health problem D．Having no water 2．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A．So far, nobody has ever walked on Mars. B．Staying in space for a long time does no harm to us. C．Some spaceships have been to Mars with astronauts. D．Humans have never been sent to the moon. 3．Which of the following sentences can be put in the “ ▲ ”? A．How can we reach Mars? B．How long would a trip to Mars take? C．Why do we want to send astronauts to Mars? D．Is it possible for us to send astronauts to Mars? 4．We can know from the passage that ________. A．some private companies will be set up on Mars B．humans will live on Mars soon C．many people will work hard to visit Mars although it is hard D．few people will agree with the idea to send astronauts to Mars 12.（23-24八年级下·广东广州·期中）Do you sometimes feel lonely? Are you sometimes under great pressure (压力)? Do you sometimes feel sick? If your answers to these questions are “Yes”, you might not need a doctor. Instead, you might just need a pet. Pets, like dogs, cats, or even birds, can make you feel better. In fact, many people feel healthy when they have a pet to take care of. People who have pet s often feel calmer (更冷静的) and less lonely than people who don’t have pets. For example, Juliet Locke has a six-year-old cat named Snowball. “Snowball knows when I have a bad day. When I’m sitting in a chair, she’ll run to me and I’ll pet her. She really helps me feel relaxed,” says Juliet. “Pets can help you have a healthy mind.” Pets can give you a healthy body, too. Dr. R.K.Anderson is a veterinarian (兽医). He started CENSHARE (Center to Study Human/Animal Relationships (关系) and Environments)，an organization that researches how pets influence (影响) people. These researchers (研究者) believe that people with pet s are healthier than those without pets. For example, pet owners often have a lower risk (风险) of heart disease. Many pet owners don’t have high blood pressure (高血压), either. If you have a dog, you need to take it for a walk. Taking walks is also good for your heart and brain health. While most people think of dogs and cats as pets, having birds and fish can also be helpful. In fact, people own many different kinds of pets. Researchers studied the influences of these kinds of animals on their owners’ health. The researchers found that some people actually feel more relaxed and have lower blood pressure by watching fish or by listening to the sounds of birds. These activities make people feel calm. 1．Why does the writer write about Juliet Locke? A．To encourage people to feed pets well. B．To talk about how to choose a pet. C．To show pets can make people feel healthy. D．To ask people to talk about their problems with their pets. 2．What’s the main idea of the third paragraph? A．Pets can help people have a healthy body. B．Pets can keep people away from bad feelings. C．Keeping pets can help cure (治愈) some illnesses. D．Keeping pets can improve the relationships between humans. 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．CENSHARE mainly studies how to save pets. B．A dog can be more helpful to people than a cat. C．A person will probably get relaxed if he keeps a pet. D．Watching fish can make some people’s blood pressure rise. 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．How to deal with bad feelings. B．Pets can bring trouble to people. C．How to get along well with pets. D．Pets can help people keep healthy. 13.（23-24八年级下·辽宁鞍山·期中）Drones (无人机) can be helpful in many fields. This year, a team of volunteers in the UK saved a dog in a special way. They used a drone and meat. How did that happen? On January 13th, Emma Oakes lost her dog Millie when they were out for a walk. Emma was very worried. She asked the team DDSAR for help. After about two hours, volunteers found Millie in a wetland. It was dangerous for Millie to stay there. The water was around her, and she might fall into it. The DDSAR used a drone to follow Millie. Also, some policemen came and tried to get close to Millie by boat and on foot. But Millie was very afraid of those men. They made Millie move farther away from the safe place, so they had to stop their work. Later, one of the volunteers thought of an idea. He said they could use meat dangling from the drone, and then help Millie get to a safe place. The other volunteers and the policemen agreed with him and decided to do it. Millie was very hungry and wanted to eat the meat. She followed the meat and left the wetland. Finally, Millie ran towards Emma. Everyone there was happy for them. Emma was thankful to all the volunteers and policemen for their hard work. The drone also played an important part in saying Millie. Emma said it was fantastic to get her dog back. 1．What happened to Emma Oakes? A．She got lost. B．She lost her dog. C．She lost her drone.

D．Find the owner. 14.（23-24八年级下·辽宁锦州·期中）Zu Chongzhi was one of the greatest mathematicians in ancient China. He was born during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. From a young age, Zu was taught natural science, astronomy (天文学), math and so on. The little boy was interested in all of these subjects, especially in math. Zu was best known for his calculation (计算) of pi (π). According to historical records, he did all the work using nothing but wooden sticks. It took him lots of time to work out the value—between 3.1415926 and 3.1415927. No one at that time was able to work it out more correctly than Zu. And now the achievement is still praised by people around the world. In order to remember Zu, some mathematicians suggest calling pi “Zu Lv”. Zu was successful not only in math. He did a good job in astronomy, too. He worked out that a year should be 365.24281481 days long and created the Daming Calendar. However, government officials at that time did not agree with Zu. The great mathematician never saw his calendar put into use. After his death, his son Zu Gengzhi kept on using facts to show that the Daming Calendar was more correct. Almost ten years after his death, the new calendar was finally accepted. Zu was also an inventor. He once made a vehicle that carried a pointer. No matter how the vehicle turned, the pointer always pointed to the south. Zu also invented the 1,000-li Boat. The boat could travel about 100 li (50 kilometers) in a day. 1．Zu Chongzhi was most probably interested in ________ when he was young? A．Astronomy. B．Math. C．Natural science.

We looked at each other but no sound broke the silence (寂静) of my beach-side house. Such a moment was not the first time for me. On Sam’s first day of kindergarten (幼儿园), I felt his stress (压力) when holding his hand. He looked at me—as he did now. But I said nothing till the school bus came. About ten years later, I drove him to the college. He was sick but I didn’t know then. I thought he was just too tired. I tried to think of something to say as he would start a new period of life. Again, ________. Sam was weak when he was born but grew into a strong boy. Then he became the best baseball player in high school. His finest moment came when he got the first prize at a science fair. I was sorry he gave up his athletic talent, but proud (自豪的) that later he chose English literature. One day, I told Sam I regretted (后悔) never traveling abroad to know better about the world before working. Sam decided to learn German in Berlin, even though his friends thought it was meaningless. The night before he was to leave, I failed to say any words again. Maybe, I thought, it wasn’t necessary to say anything. What does it matter if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him? But as I stood before Sam, I knew it does matter. My father and I loved each other. However, I always regretted never hearing him put his feelings into words. “Sam,” I said, “if I could have picked, I would have picked you.” I wasn’t sure he understood what I meant. Sam came towards me and threw his arms around me, saying “thank you”. My eyes misted over (模糊). Then, the moment ended, and Sam left home. What I had said to Sam was not new. It was nothing.

They can’t talk. They can’t walk. And they can’t think like us. Or can they? A new TV show gives us a new look at plants. Shown on Jan.10 on Bilibili, it tells the secret lives of plants, and the wonderful and unbelievable ways that plants work. ▲ . In the rainforests, different kinds of plants race for sunlight. The forest floor is described as a “battlefield” (战场). Only two percent of the sunlight gets through it. Some plants spread (蔓延) their big leaves to reach light. But other plants may catch them up and get a lift. Finally, they are both overtaken (超过) by a fast-growing tree. Similarly, some trees may give out something to protect themselves. Plants also help each other and even communicate. In deserts, if a tree finds water, it will share it with others. Studies also show that plants use fungus (真菌) in the soil as a way to “talk” to each other. It’s kind of like how Wi-Fi works. If a tomato plant gets a leaf disease (疾病), it can tell nearby plants about it. The TV show not only makes us amazed at the plant world but pushes us to understand that plants are important. “Plants are the needs of all life, including ourselves. We depend upon them for every mouth of food that we eat and every lungful of air that we breathe,” said David, the director of the show. It’s time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants. 1．We can learn from the passage that plants ________. A．can’t talk with each other B．aren’t able to walk C．can help each other in need D．are in great danger 2．From the passage we know that ________.

The two chopsticks can work well together. ① It is believed that the first chopsticks appeared over 5,000 years ago in ancient China.They were used for cooking and serving, but not as eating tools. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that chopsticks came into normal use for both serving and eating. The earliest evidence (证据) of a pair of chopsticks made out of bronze (黄铜) was found at Yinxu in Anyang, Henan, dating back to roughly 1200 B．C． Nowadays, bamboo and wood chopsticks are the most popular ones in Chinese homes. ② Chinese chopsticks are usually about 22~24 centimeters long. They are round on the eating end, which represents (代表) heaven. The other end is usually square, representing earth. This is because the greatest concern between heaven and earth is to keep enough supplies of food. There is an old custom in China. It is believed that chopsticks should be part of a girl’s dowry (嫁妆) since the pronunciation (发音) of kuaizi is similar to that of the words for “soon” and “son” in Chinese. It is still a popular good wish in China for newly married couples to have babies “soon”. According to modern science, the long-term use of chopsticks makes one’s fingers flexible (灵活的). That is good for people’s health. ③ So, among the different kinds of tableware (餐具) today, chopsticks have special power. The culture of using kuaizi has spread to many other Asian countries. In Japan, people celebrate the Chopsticks Day on August 4 every year. ④ As an old saying goes, “A chopstick can be broken easily. Ten pairs of chopsticks, held together, are hard to break.” For thousands of years, Chinese people have favoured chopsticks not only because they are easy to use but also because they represent the great spirit of the Chinese people. 1．What can we know from the second paragraph? A．Chopsticks were used for eating over 5,000 years ago. B．People first used chopsticks for cooking and serving. C．People made chopsticks out of bamboo and wood first. D．Only rich people could use chopsticks in ancient China. 2．We should put the sentence “Chopsticks are a symbol of Chinese food culture.” in ________.

Some plants are as big as tall buildings; others are as small as rice. Plants are key parts of the food circle. They play an important part in the nature because they give out oxygen—the gas that all animals need for breathing. What is a plant? Most people have no difficulty finding the differences between an animal and a plant. That is because animals can move around, but plants can’t. What makes a plant a plant? Like animals, plants are living things that are made up of lots of cells (细胞). Unlike animals, plants make their own food by photosynthesis (光合作用). Most plants have roots, stems, and leaves, and most plants reproduce by growing flowers and making seeds. All plants need energy to stay alive and grow, and they get it from sunlight instead of food. How does a plant grow? Most animals grow in a certain way, and genes control their growth. That is to say, even when they are small, it’s easy to know what they will look like after they grow up. Plants are different. Their growth is controlled by genes too, but their final shape also depends on where they live. For example, a tree can be big and round if it grows up in an open space, but much taller and thinner if it grows in the woods with other trees all around. Plants are unable to move from one environment to another, so it is important that they are able to get used to the environment. 1．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1? A．The number of plants. B．Different sizes of plants. C．The importance of plants. D．Planting more trees. 2．What method does the author use to describe the plants in Paragraph 2? A．By comparing. B．By giving examples. C．By giving numbers. D．By telling stories. 3．What can we know about plants from the passage? A．Flowers and seeds are the most important parts of a plant. B．Plants and animals grow in the same way. C．Only environment controls the plants’ growth. D．It’s important for the plants to get used to the environment. 4．What is the best title for this passage? A．Different Kinds of Plants B．The Life of Plants C．Plants and Animals D．All About Plants 21.（23-24八年级下·山东潍坊·期中）This Spring Festival, the most eye-catching movie might be YOLO (热辣滚烫). So far, it has made over 3.3 billion yuan at the box office. Directed by 41-year-old Jia Ling, the movie tells the story of a woman tired of the world, finding herself and learning to love life through boxing.

It was in 2019 that she became a director for the first time, making her movie Hi, Mom. Jia didn’t study directing at university. She believes this is both a good and bad thing.

Some people online said even her voice seemed softer, and they call this a “rebirth” for Jia. In Jia’s eyes, her change in identity (身份) and look is her way of staying true to herself. “It’s hard to predict one’s life. I’m just following my heart but not looking for changes on purpose.

He enjoyed teaching him some of the things he may not be taught in school. Grandfathers have a special relation with their grandchildren. They can often pass down some experience that will be helpful to the younger people. One day, Shawn told his grandfather about a class science project that he was very excited about. Each student was going to grow a pot of bean plants. When the plants grew big and strong, the students were to plant them in a garden at the school. They each wanted to grow the strongest and best bean plant. Shawn showed his grandfather the bean seeds (种子). He explained that his teacher taught them how to make the seeds grow. First, they put the seeds on a wet paper towel. Then, they put them near a warm window. When the seeds come out, they are ready to be moved into a pot. Alter listening to his grandson, Mr. Worth said, “You do just as you learned, but I want to show you one more thing about growing plants.” “When I was a boy, my father showed me how to grow strong plants,” he continued. “When the plant is starting out, you put some weight (重量) on it.” Shawn looked at his grandfather in surprise. “Doesn’t the weight stop the bean from growing?” he asked. “No, of course not. This way, the bean plant will be strong and healthy. If you give it everything it wants, it will grow too fast and it will be weak.

It was started in 1931 to remind everyone on our planet to care about animals. Unluckily, many wild animals are facing great danger. Some even became extinct and cannot be seen forever. Recently, China has done much to improve the living condition of endangered wild animals. The protection of Asian elephants is a good example. Asian elephants in China are mostly found in Yunnan Province. These animals have become endangered because some people are killing for their teeth. The government (政府) has been trying to protect them. For example, elephants teeth business is not allowed. This can greatly prevent elephants hunting. Another example is the protection of the Yangtze finless porpoise (江豚). Because of lots of over-fishing and water pollution, the population of the Yangtze finless porpoise was just 1, 012 in 2018. That number was lower than the number of giant pandas. In 2020, the government once put a 10-year fishing ban (禁令). This action is very useful and now people can see a group of Yangtze finless porpoises jump and play in the Yangtze River. With World Animal Day around the corner, we all can think of more ways to better protect our wild friends.

But you may know clearly there are dog people and cat people. Dog people think dogs are “ man’s best friends”, while cat people like cats because of their elegance (优雅) and independence (独立). Sometimes the two groups even argue with each other. Which pet do people like better? Dogs seem to win. An associated opinion poll (民意调查) showed that people in the US like dogs more than cats. 74% said they liked dogs “a lot”, but only 41% said the same thing about cats. The Pet Industry White Paper also showed that there are around 11,000,000 more dog owners than cat owners in Chinese cities. However, cats seem to have more attention online. People call them “masters” (喵主子) online while the dog owners are “servants who clean their masters’ feces” (铲屎官). Even those who don’t have pet cats are doing something called “cloud cat petting” (云吸猫). It means taking pictures and videos of cats online. An article in The Guardian pointed out that dog owners usually go outside to play with their pets or their neighbors’ dogs. But cats are mainly indoor animals, so the Internet becomes a virtual (虚拟的) “cat park” for cat owners. But it doesn’t really matter if you like cats or dogs better. Keeping a relation with any animal can make us feel good. 1．What does the underlined word “argue” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Understand. B．Require. C．Disagree. D．Offer. 2．According to the text, if you are outgoing and like outside activities, _________. A．you can keep a dog B．you can write about dogs C．a cat is a good friend D．you can watch videos online 3．What can we know from the text? A．People is talking about how to keep pets. B．There are more dog owners than cat owners in America. C．Cloud cat petting means putting cats on the cloud. D．In China, people like cats as much as they like dogs. 4．How is the text organized? (①=Paragraph l, ②=Paragraph 2, …) A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要了介绍养狗与养猫的区别，告诉我们和动物保持关系都能让我们感觉良好。 1．词义猜测题。根据“Sometimes the two groups even argue with each other. Which pet do people like better?”可知有时这两个群体甚至会相互争论，故此处划线部分和disagree意义相近。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“An article in The Guardian pointed out that dog owners usually go outside to play with their pets or their neighbors’ dogs.”可知养狗人通常会出去和他们的宠物或邻居的狗玩耍，所以如果是外向的，喜欢户外活动，可以养狗。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“An associated opinion poll (民意调查) showed that people in the US like dogs more than cats”可知美国人更喜欢狗而不是猫，即在美国，养狗的人比养猫的人多。故选B。 4．篇章结构题。文章第一段提出了问题：养狗和养猫哪个更好；第二、三、四段说了调查结果；最后一段综述全文，要和动物保持关系。故选D。 7.（23-24八年级下·辽宁阜新·期中）Some people believe that humans could live on the planet Mars by the year 2100. Our own planet, the Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. It is hoped that people could start again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life there could be like. At present, our spacecraft are too slow to carry large numbers of passengers (乘客) to Mars and it would take months. With the development of technology, by the year 2100, the journey might only take about 20 minutes in spacecraft that travel at the speed (速度) of light! However, the spacecraft would travel really fast, so the journey to Mars might be quite uncomfortable. Many people would feel ill. Humans can’t live without water, air or food. So far, nobody knows if there would be enough water or air on Mars for people. Moreover, scientists are not sure if plants could grow on Mars. Food would most probably be made like pills (药片) and would not keep long. Compared with life on the earth, life on Mars would be better in some ways. People would have more space. They might live in houses with huge comfortable rooms. Also, robots would do lots of their work so that they could have more time to relax. There would probably be no schools. Every student would study at online schools with “e-teachers”. Life on Mars would be interesting and challenging (充满挑战的). However, it may take hundreds of years to make it true. So the most important thing we need to do now is to protect our beautiful blue planet-the Earth! 1．People would move to Mars because ________. A．they want to challenge themselves B．the earth is crowded and polluted C．flying to Mars would be fun D．plants could grow better there 2．The underlined word “spacecraft” means ________.

B．Food on Mars would be more delicious than that on the earth. C．The writer thinks living on Mars would be full of challenges. D．People would be busy with work on Mars. 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．School s on Mars B．Food on Mars C．Life on Mars D．Environment on the Earth 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了关于火星的一些信息和关于人类生活在火星上的一些想象。 1．细节理解题。根据“Our own planet, the Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted.”可知，因为我们自己的星球，地球正变得越来越拥挤和污染，所以才决定去火星。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“At present, our spacecraft are too slow to carry large numbers of passengers (乘客) to Mars and it would take months.”可知，带人们去火星的应该是宇宙飞船，spacecraft应该是“宇宙飞船” 的意思。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“Life on Mars would be interesting and challenging (充满挑战的).”可知，作者认为火星上的生活将是有趣而富有挑战性的。故选C。 4．最佳标题题。根据“It is hoped that people could start again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life there could be like.”以及通读全文可知，文章是想象人们搬到火星上的生活。故选C。 8.（23-24八年级下·山东烟台·期中）Many admire great people, but few know what difficulties those people went through. As an autobiographical (自传体的) book, The Long Walk to Freedom gives people a look into the life of Nelson Mandela, a freedom fighter of South Africa and the late president (总统) of the country. Mandela was born into an African royal (皇室) family on July 18, 1918. But Mandela chose a life way of fighting for common people instead of royalty. At that time, South Africa was controlled by white people. They passed a law that stopped black people from living or traveling where they wanted. Black people didn’t have the right to speak out their thoughts about the government and leaders, either. Mandela didn’t think that was fair. He organized many activities against it. Because of this, in 1962, he was put into prison (监狱), after he was set free in 1990, he chose to forgive those who did wrong things to him instead of hating them. He shook hands with the people who wanted him dead. He also encouraged black people to forgive white people. Mandela’s story, told in his own words, goes all over the world and talks about how to build a world where everyone is included. He believed in bringing people together. These lessons could help people everywhere, including China. As China becomes more important in the world, Mandela’s journey teaches us important things about dealing with other countries (社会和谐). As an autobiography writer, Mandela also did a good job and didn’t make the book sound self-important. He expressed his feelings well, making the readers understand his and others’ hard times. With such writing skills, a book with more than 600 pages can be easier to read. 1．What can we know about The Long Walk to Freedom according to the passage? A．It’s a book about African royal life. B．It shows people’s love for Mandela. C．It helps people better understand Mandela. D．It was written to remember Mandela. 2．What does the underlined word “forgive” mean? A．Say “Never mind” to. B．Give money to. C．Feel sorry for. D．Refuse help from. 3．What can China mainly learn from Mandela’s spirit? A．How to promise people’s freedom. B．How to help African people to be rich. C．How to keep people safe from prisons. D．How to deal with international relationships. 4．Why is Mandela’s book easy to read? A．Because he stressed personal experiences. B．Because Mandela hardly shared his feelings. C．Because an autobiography writer helped him to write it. D．Because it is heartfelt and shows understanding toward others. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了南非前总统纳尔逊·曼德拉的自传《漫漫自由路》。 1．细节理解题。根据“As an autobiographical (自传体的) book, The Long Walk to Freedom gives people a look into the life of Nelson Mandela, a freedom fighter of South Africa and the late president (总统) of the country.”可知，这本书使人们更了解曼德拉。故选C。 2．词义猜测题。根据“Because of this, in 1962, he was put into prison (监狱), after he was set free in 1990, he chose to forgive those who did wrong things to him instead of hating them.”可知，后文提到了他不去恨那些对他做错事的人，因此划线词是“原谅”。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“These lessons could help people everywhere, including China…Mandela’s journey teaches us important things about dealing with other countries (社会和谐).”可知，中国可以从曼德拉精神中学到：如何处理国际关系。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据“He expressed his feelings well, making the readers understand his and others’ hard times. With such writing skills, a book with more than 600 pages can be easier to read.”可知，曼德拉的书容易读是因为它是发自内心的，并显示出对他人的理解。故选D。 9.（23-24八年级下·辽宁沈阳·期中）Did you know that the Beijing Winter Olympic Village had a rooftop (屋顶) farm? It covered 4,620 square meters. To relax, athletes and coaches (教练) could try growing vegetables there. It shows just how much Chinese people love growing vegetables. China has a lot of available land for planting things. For centuries, Chinese people made a living through farming. The Book of Songs (《诗经》), written 2,500 years ago, records many kinds of vegetables. Nowadays, even though some Chinese people no longer have a lot of land, they still grow vegetables where they can. Xue Ling, 35, is one of them. Since 2010, she has been planting vegetables on the balcony (阳台) of her apartment in Jinan, Shandong province. “It’s the only way to keep my food, at least the vegetables, clean and safe,” she told China Daily. Caroline Ma from Hong Kong grows vegetables as a hobby. In 2020, Ma started farming on her rooftop and began planting seeds collected during her travels. For Ma, farming is a meditative (冥想的) experience. “I am in my own little world and I can forget about the world’s problems,” she said. It seems that planting vegetables brings more than just food for Chinese people. 1．Why did the Beijing Winter Olympic Village have a rooftop farm? A．To help the athletes and coaches relax.

But where do astronomers start exploring (探索)? First of all, astronomers look for a star. That’s because our own Earth moves around a star—the Sun. More importantly, it is neither too far from nor too near to the Sun for heat and light. So when astronomers have found the star, they look at the planets around it. In recent years, astronomers have found nearly 400 new planets with stars. Many of these planets are either too near to the star or too far away. However, if the planet is in a good place, astronomers look for three key things: water, air and rock (岩石). Water is the most important because all life needs water. Humans can drink it and they can also grow plants with water. And plants produce air for humans to breathe (呼吸) and food to eat. Rock on a planet is also important. That’s because there is often water under the rock. After many years of exploring, astronomers have found a planet like the Earth. It’s Gliese 581 g and it’s near a star. The astronomers think it has water and rock and the temperature is between -31℃ and -12℃. That’s cold, but not colder than Antarctica or the Arctic Circle. A year on Gliese 581 g is only 37 Earth days, not 365 Earth days. But astronomers do not think these are big differences and some of them think Gliese 581 g will be a new Earth. 1．How do astronomers discover a new planet for humans to live on? Choose the right order. 　 　 a.Astronomers look for three key things. b.Astronomers look for and find a right star. c.Astronomers look at the planets around the star. A．a-b-c B．b-a-c C．b-c-a D．c-a-b 2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．The Earth. B．Gliese 581 g. C．The Sun. D．Gliese. 3．Which of the following is TRUE? A．A year on Gliese 581 g is 365 Earth days. B．Water is the most important for life on a planet. C．The temperature of Gliese 581 g is colder than Antarctica. D．Nowadays, astronomers have found nearly 400 new stars with planets. 4．What’s the main idea of the text? A．Gliese 581 g is already a new Earth. B．There are some planets like our Earth. C．Water, air and rock are important. D．Astronomers are looking for a new Earth. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了天文学家寻找适合人类居住的新星球的探索历程。 1．细节理解题。根据“First of all, astronomers look for a star.”可知首先，天文学家寻找一颗恒星，故b排第一位，排除AD；根据“So when astronomers have found the star, they look at the planets around it”可知天文学家找到星球后，看它的周边，故c排第二位，排除B。故选C。 2．词义猜测题。根据“After many years of exploring, astronomers have found a planet like the Earth. It’s Gliese 581 g and it’s near a star. The astronomers think it has water and rock and the temperature is between -31℃ and -12℃”可知经过多年的探索，天文学家发现了一颗类似地球的行星。它是Gliese581 g，靠近一颗恒星，天文学家认为它有水和岩石，温度在-31摄氏度到-12摄氏度之间，故此处it指代“Gliese 581 g这个星球”。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“Water is the most important because all life needs water. Humans can drink it and they can also grow plants with water.”可知水是最重要的，故选B。 4．主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了天文学家寻找适合人类居住的新星球的探索历程。故选D。 11.（23-24八年级下·辽宁大连·期中） It’s possible for human to land on Mars. We have already sent several spaceships to Mars. Some of them have landed on Mars. However, none of them had humans. Astronauts have walked on the moon, but so far, nobody has ever set foot on Mars. Many scientists believe that someday we will send astronauts to Mars. This is not an easy thing to do. The biggest challenge (挑战) is the cost. Another challenge is health problems that astronauts might have. Staying too long in a place could cause other health problems—it could even make a person go blind or cause other serious health problems. Although there are so many challenges, some scientists and people still think that we should send astronauts to Mars. The governments of the United States, Russia, Germany, China and other countries are all interested in visiting Mars. There are also private companies that are interested in doing it. ▲ With the technology that we have today, it would take six or seven months. However, we might soon have technology that would let us make the trip in only two weeks. In 1969, the United States sent astronauts to the moon. Those astronauts have already returned to Earth. Some people think that if the first astronauts have the chance to reach Mars, they should build a colony (聚居地) and live on it for the rest of their lives. That way, it will be easier for more astronauts to reach Mars later. Buzz Aldrin, the second person who walked on the moon, is one of the people who agrees with this idea. He once said, “Forget the moon. Let’s go to Mars!” 1．________ is the most difficult one to send astronauts to Mars. A．Not having a good spaceship B．Spending too much money C．Astronauts’ health problem D．Having no water 2．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A．So far, nobody has ever walked on Mars. B．Staying in space for a long time does no harm to us. C．Some spaceships have been to Mars with astronauts. D．Humans have never been sent to the moon. 3．Which of the following sentences can be put in the “ ▲ ”? A．How can we reach Mars? B．How long would a trip to Mars take? C．Why do we want to send astronauts to Mars? D．Is it possible for us to send astronauts to Mars? 4．We can know from the passage that ________. A．some private companies will be set up on Mars B．humans will live on Mars soon C．many people will work hard to visit Mars although it is hard D．few people will agree with the idea to send astronauts to Mars 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类探索火星存在的挑战以人类登陆火星的愿望。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Many scientists believe that someday, we will send astronauts to Mars. This is not an easy thing to do. The biggest challenge is the cost.”可知，送宇航员去火星的最大的挑战是费用问题。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第一段“Astronauts have walked on the moon, but so far, nobody has ever set foot on Mars.”可知，宇航员已经在月球上行走，但到目前为止，还没有人踏上火星。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据下文“With the technology that we have today, it would take six or seven months.”可知，此处是询问到火星需要的时间；选项B“去火星旅行要多长时间？”符合语境。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据第三段“Although there are so many challenges, some scientists and people still think that we should send astronauts to Mars. The governments of the United States, Russia, Germany, China and other countries are all interested in visiting Mars. There are also private companies that are interested in doing it.”可知，尽管有这么多的挑战，一些科学家和人们仍然认为我们应该把宇航员送到火星；一些国家以及一些私人公司对访问火星感兴趣；据此可推断，尽管这很难，但许多人会努力工作去实现访问火星的梦想。故选C。 12.（23-24八年级下·广东广州·期中）Do you sometimes feel lonely? Are you sometimes under great pressure (压力)? Do you sometimes feel sick? If your answers to these questions are “Yes”, you might not need a doctor. Instead, you might just need a pet. Pets, like dogs, cats, or even birds, can make you feel better. In fact, many people feel healthy when they have a pet to take care of. People who have pet s often feel calmer (更冷静的) and less lonely than people who don’t have pets. For example, Juliet Locke has a six-year-old cat named Snowball. “Snowball knows when I have a bad day. When I’m sitting in a chair, she’ll run to me and I’ll pet her. She really helps me feel relaxed,” says Juliet. “Pets can help you have a healthy mind.” Pets can give you a healthy body, too. Dr. R.K.Anderson is a veterinarian (兽医). He started CENSHARE (Center to Study Human/Animal Relationships (关系) and Environments)，an organization that researches how pets influence (影响) people. These researchers (研究者) believe that people with pet s are healthier than those without pets. For example, pet owners often have a lower risk (风险) of heart disease. Many pet owners don’t have high blood pressure (高血压), either. If you have a dog, you need to take it for a walk. Taking walks is also good for your heart and brain health. While most people think of dogs and cats as pets, having birds and fish can also be helpful. In fact, people own many different kinds of pets. Researchers studied the influences of these kinds of animals on their owners’ health. The researchers found that some people actually feel more relaxed and have lower blood pressure by watching fish or by listening to the sounds of birds. These activities make people feel calm. 1．Why does the writer write about Juliet Locke? A．To encourage people to feed pets well. B．To talk about how to choose a pet. C．To show pets can make people feel healthy. D．To ask people to talk about their problems with their pets. 2．What’s the main idea of the third paragraph? A．Pets can help people have a healthy body. B．Pets can keep people away from bad feelings. C．Keeping pets can help cure (治愈) some illnesses. D．Keeping pets can improve the relationships between humans. 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．CENSHARE mainly studies how to save pets. B．A dog can be more helpful to people than a cat. C．A person will probably get relaxed if he keeps a pet. D．Watching fish can make some people’s blood pressure rise. 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．How to deal with bad feelings. B．Pets can bring trouble to people. C．How to get along well with pets. D．Pets can help people keep healthy. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了宠物对人们身心健康的好处。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“For example...She really helps me feel relaxed,’ says Juliet. ‘Pets can help you have a healthy mind.’”可知，展示宠物可以让人们感到健康。故选C。 2．主旨大意题。根据第三段“Pets can give you a healthy body, too.”及其后文内容，可知第三段说的是宠物可以帮助人们拥有健康的身体。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“The researchers found that some people actually feel more relaxed and have lower blood pressure by watching fish or by listening to the sounds of birds.”可知，如果一个人养宠物，他可能会得到放松。故选C。 4．最佳标题题。根据第一段“In fact, many people feel healthy when they have a pet to take care of.”可知，文章说的是宠物可以帮助人们保持健康。故选D。 13.（23-24八年级下·辽宁鞍山·期中）Drones (无人机) can be helpful in many fields. This year, a team of volunteers in the UK saved a dog in a special way. They used a drone and meat. How did that happen? On January 13th, Emma Oakes lost her dog Millie when they were out for a walk. Emma was very worried. She asked the team DDSAR for help. After about two hours, volunteers found Millie in a wetland. It was dangerous for Millie to stay there. The water was around her, and she might fall into it. The DDSAR used a drone to follow Millie. Also, some policemen came and tried to get close to Millie by boat and on foot. But Millie was very afraid of those men. They made Millie move farther away from the safe place, so they had to stop their work. Later, one of the volunteers thought of an idea. He said they could use meat dangling from the drone, and then help Millie get to a safe place. The other volunteers and the policemen agreed with him and decided to do it. Millie was very hungry and wanted to eat the meat. She followed the meat and left the wetland. Finally, Millie ran towards Emma. Everyone there was happy for them.

He was born during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. From a young age, Zu was taught natural science, astronomy (天文学), math and so on. The little boy was interested in all of these subjects, especially in math. Zu was best known for his calculation (计算) of pi (π). According to historical records, he did all the work using nothing but wooden sticks. It took him lots of time to work out the value—between 3.1415926 and 3.1415927. No one at that time was able to work it out more correctly than Zu. And now the achievement is still praised by people around the world. In order to remember Zu, some mathematicians suggest calling pi “Zu Lv”. Zu was successful not only in math. He did a good job in astronomy, too. He worked out that a year should be 365.24281481 days long and created the Daming Calendar. However, government officials at that time did not agree with Zu. The great mathematician never saw his calendar put into use. After his death, his son Zu Gengzhi kept on using facts to show that the Daming Calendar was more correct. Almost ten years after his death, the new calendar was finally accepted. Zu was also an inventor. He once made a vehicle that carried a pointer. No matter how the vehicle turned, the pointer always pointed to the south. Zu also invented the 1,000-li Boat. The boat could travel about 100 li (50 kilometers) in a day. 1．Zu Chongzhi was most probably interested in ________ when he was young? A．Astronomy. B．Math. C．Natural science.

One day, I told Sam I regretted (后悔) never traveling abroad to know better about the world before working. Sam decided to learn German in Berlin, even though his friends thought it was meaningless. The night before he was to leave, I failed to say any words again. Maybe, I thought, it wasn’t necessary to say anything. What does it matter if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him? But as I stood before Sam, I knew it does matter. My father and I loved each other. However, I always regretted never hearing him put his feelings into words. “Sam,” I said, “if I could have picked, I would have picked you.” I wasn’t sure he understood what I meant. Sam came towards me and threw his arms around me, saying “thank you”. My eyes misted over (模糊). Then, the moment ended, and Sam left home. What I had said to Sam was not new. It was nothing.

Shown on Jan.10 on Bilibili, it tells the secret lives of plants, and the wonderful and unbelievable ways that plants work. ▲ . In the rainforests, different kinds of plants race for sunlight. The forest floor is described as a “battlefield” (战场). Only two percent of the sunlight gets through it. Some plants spread (蔓延) their big leaves to reach light. But other plants may catch them up and get a lift. Finally, they are both overtaken (超过) by a fast-growing tree. Similarly, some trees may give out something to protect themselves. Plants also help each other and even communicate. In deserts, if a tree finds water, it will share it with others. Studies also show that plants use fungus (真菌) in the soil as a way to “talk” to each other. It’s kind of like how Wi-Fi works. If a tomato plant gets a leaf disease (疾病), it can tell nearby plants about it.

The two chopsticks can work well together. ① It is believed that the first chopsticks appeared over 5,000 years ago in ancient China.They were used for cooking and serving, but not as eating tools. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that chopsticks came into normal use for both serving and eating. The earliest evidence (证据) of a pair of chopsticks made out of bronze (黄铜) was found at Yinxu in Anyang, Henan, dating back to roughly 1200 B．C． Nowadays, bamboo and wood chopsticks are the most popular ones in Chinese homes. ② Chinese chopsticks are usually about 22~24 centimeters long. They are round on the eating end, which represents (代表) heaven. The other end is usually square, representing earth. This is because the greatest concern between heaven and earth is to keep enough supplies of food. There is an old custom in China. It is believed that chopsticks should be part of a girl’s dowry (嫁妆) since the pronunciation (发音) of kuaizi is similar to that of the words for “soon” and “son” in Chinese. It is still a popular good wish in China for newly married couples to have babies “soon”. According to modern science, the long-term use of chopsticks makes one’s fingers flexible (灵活的). That is good for people’s health. ③ So, among the different kinds of tableware (餐具) today, chopsticks have special power. The culture of using kuaizi has spread to many other Asian countries. In Japan, people celebrate the Chopsticks Day on August 4 every year. ④ As an old saying goes, “A chopstick can be broken easily. Ten pairs of chopsticks, held together, are hard to break.” For thousands of years, Chinese people have favoured chopsticks not only because they are easy to use but also because they represent the great spirit of the Chinese people. 1．What can we know from the second paragraph? A．Chopsticks were used for eating over 5,000 years ago. B．People first used chopsticks for cooking and serving. C．People made chopsticks out of bamboo and wood first.

A．A symbol of Chinese culture—chopsticks B．The ways to use chopsticks C．The first use of chopsticks D．The Chinese spirit and chopsticks 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了筷子的历史和发展。 1．细节理解题。根据“It is believed that the first chopsticks appeared over 5,000 years ago in ancient China. They were used for cooking and serving”可知筷子刚开始是用来做饭和上菜的。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据“Chinese chopsticks are usually about 22~24 centimeters long...There is an old custom in China”可知本段主要介绍了筷子的文化象征，故“筷子是中国饮食文化的象征”放在②处。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“The culture of using kuaizi has spread to many other Asian countries. In Japan, people celebrate the Chopsticks Day on August 4 every year.”可知筷子传播到很多其他的亚洲国家，在8月4号日本人庆祝筷子节，但是并不是日本人只在这一天使用筷子。故选D。 4．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了筷子的历史和发展吗，选项A“中国文化的象征——筷子”为标题最合适。故选A。 20.（23-24八年级下·河北保定·期中）Parts of a Plant There are more than 400,000 kinds of plants on Earth. Some plants are as big as tall buildings; others are as small as rice. Plants are key parts of the food circle. They play an important part in the nature because they give out oxygen—the gas that all animals need for breathing. What is a plant? Most people have no difficulty finding the differences between an animal and a plant. That is because animals can move around, but plants can’t. What makes a plant a plant? Like animals, plants are living things that are made up of lots of cells (细胞). Unlike animals, plants make their own food by photosynthesis (光合作用). Most plants have roots, stems, and leaves, and most plants reproduce by growing flowers and making seeds. All plants need energy to stay alive and grow, and they get it from sunlight instead of food. How does a plant grow? Most animals grow in a certain way, and genes control their growth. That is to say, even when they are small, it’s easy to know what they will look like after they grow up. Plants are different. Their growth is controlled by genes too, but their final shape also depends on where they live. For example, a tree can be big and round if it grows up in an open space, but much taller and thinner if it grows in the woods with other trees all around. Plants are unable to move from one environment to another, so it is important that they are able to get used to the environment. 1．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1? A．The number of plants. B．Different sizes of plants. C．The importance of plants. D．Planting more trees. 2．What method does the author use to describe the plants in Paragraph 2? A．By comparing. B．By giving examples. C．By giving numbers. D．By telling stories. 3．What can we know about plants from the passage? A．Flowers and seeds are the most important parts of a plant. B．Plants and animals grow in the same way. C．Only environment controls the plants’ growth. D．It’s important for the plants to get used to the environment. 4．What is the best title for this passage? A．Different Kinds of Plants B．The Life of Plants C．Plants and Animals D．All About Plants 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了植物的世界。包括它的特点及生长方式。 1．细节理解题。根据“There are more than 400,000 kinds of plants on Earth. Some plants are as big as tall buildings; others are as small as rice. Plants are key parts of the food circle. They play an important part in the nature because they give out oxygen—the gas that all animals need for breathing.”可知，第一段提到了植物的数量，植物的不同大小以及植物的重要性，没有提及种更多的树。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“Most people have no difficulty finding the differences between an animal and a plant. That is because animals can move around, but plants can’t. ... Like animals, plants are living things that are made up of lots of cells (细胞). Unlike animals, plants make their own food by photosynthesis (光合作用).”可知，作者是通过将植物与动物进行对比来描述植物的。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“Plants are unable to move from one environment to another, so it is important that they are able to get used to the environment.”可知，植物去适应环境是很重要的。故选D。 4．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了植物的世界，包括它的特点及生长方式。因此D选项“关于植物的一切”符合最佳标题。故选D。 21.（23-24八年级下·山东潍坊·期中）This Spring Festival, the most eye-catching movie might be YOLO (热辣滚烫).

Some people online said even her voice seemed softer, and they call this a “rebirth” for Jia. In Jia’s eyes, her change in identity (身份) and look is her way of staying true to herself. “It’s hard to predict one’s life. I’m just following my heart but not looking for changes on purpose.
