He came out feeling very sad. Just then an old man, who was walking by, saw him and asked what was wrong. At first Robin did not want to share the secret with the old man.

Gradually (逐渐地) they lost their fear of me. Sometimes the children even played hide and seek in my hair. One day, the king invited me to attend an important show. A thin rope was tied between two poles (柱子) very high above the ground. The people who wanted the best jobs had to dance on this rope. Each dancer tried to jump higher than the others. I had never seen such a dangerous sport. Although many dancers may fall and be hurt or killed, the king thought the most important job should be given to the bravest and skilled dancer. What a strange way! Then when the king watched, I tied each corner of my handkerchief (手帕) to a strong stick. I pushed the four sticks into the ground. My handkerchief was now under the rope but above the ground. “Your majesty,” I said, “any dancer who falls will now land on my handkerchief and not get hurt.” “You are a wise big one”, said the king. I gently put them on my hand and held it beside the rope so they had a good view of the dancers. One very skilled performer turned several cart wheels (车轮) on the road. Later that king made this man one of his chief advisers. One day, I said again, “Your majesty, please set me free.” This time he answered, “I will set you free, if you make six promises (承诺): ·You must help my country in the coming war. ·Before you visit the capital, you must give two hours warning. And my people can get out of the streets. ·You mustn’t knock or step on my people or their animals. ·You must carry important messages for me quickly to anywhere in Lilliput. ·You must help my workers carry heavy objects (物品). ·You must not leave the kingdom without my permission (允许). “I promise!” I told the king. “Then you may have your freedom. You can travel all over Lilliput and I am sure you will find it the most beautiful one you have ever seen.” he said. 1．How can a person become the king’s officer? A．By jumping on the rope.

You may think, “Not me, I won’t get sick on my vacation.” But for many people, that is what happens. Of course you don’t want to spend your vacation sick in bed. So what can you do to stay in good health? There are three things you should remember when you travel: relax, sleep and eat well. A vacation should be a time for relaxing. But very often it is not. Think about what you do when you are a tourist. There are so many places to visit: museums, shops, parks and churches. You may spend most days walking around these places. You may be very tired. Your feet may hurt and you may have a terrible headache after a few hours. If this is the way you feel, you should take a rest. Don’t ask your body to do too much. A tired body means a weak body. And a weak body gets sick easily. So sit down for a few hours in a nice place. In good weather, look for a quiet park chair or you can stop at a corner. You can learn a lot by watching people while you rest. Sleep is also important. If you want to stay healthy, you need to get enough sleep. You may have trouble sleeping at night when you travel. Your hotel room may be noisy or the bed may be uncomfortable. If this is true, don’t be afraid to change rooms or hotels, or you may not get enough sleep. You may want to stay out late at night. In many cities the nightlife can be very interesting. Then you should plan to sleep for an hour during the day. That extra hour can make a big difference. Finally, if you want to stay healthy, you must eat well. That means eating the right kinds of food. Your body needs fresh fruits and vegetables, and some meat, milk or cheese. When you are in a new country, you may want to try new food but you need to be careful about how much you eat. Lots of rich food is not good for you. 1．This passage is mainly about ________. A．relaxing when you travel B．how exciting travel is C．what to eat when you travel D．how to stay healthy when you travel 2．Travelling around can be ________. A．no fun B．unhealthy C．very tiring D．the best way to relax 3．It’s a good idea to ________ when travelling. A．get some rest every day B．change hotels C．spend every night in hotels D．try a lot of rich food 4．According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? A．If you want to stay healthy, you must eat much. B．Your body needs lots of rich food when you travel. C．When you are in a new country, you may try all new food. D．If you want to enjoy your vacation, eating the right kinds of food is necessary. 4.（23-24八年级下·江苏南通·期中） BUMP! Suddenly the house hits the ground. Dorothy wakes up. “Good morning, Toto,” she says.

In the year 2070, most of you will be about 60 years old. The good news is that travelling might become smarter by that time. European airline EasyJet has made some predictions (预测) and showed them to the public: The Future Travel Report. Let’s take a look at some of their ideas. Paper passports will be a thing of the past. You will use “heartbeat passports” instead. According to experts, everyone’s heartbeat is different. So your heartbeat will be taken and be used to tell who you are. The seats on the plane will no longer be “one size fits all”. You’ll be able to book a seat according to your body type. The seat might even be able to cool or warm you until you feel comfortable with the temperature. There will also be no more screens on the back of your seats. A special machine in the future could show movies straight in front of your eyes. If you hate packing clothes, you may not need to do it in the future. Before you fly, your body shape will be taken. And when you arrive, you’ll find a wardrobe filled with 3D-printed clothes in your size. When you leave, the clothes can be recycled and reprinted for the next person. You can also 3D print whatever you want to eat. If you like to visit historic sites (历史古迹), augmented reality (AR，增强现实) will change the game. Wearing a headset, you can see what happened at a historic site, such as a famous battle. You may even be able to sit among the cheering people at the first Olympic Games. 1．According to The Future Travel Report, which of the following can you do? A．You can make your heartbeat different. B．You can watch a film without a screen. C．You can wear other people’s 3D-printed clothes.

Many believe the name comes from the 1760s because of the smoke put out by factories at that time. There is also a 1-meter-thick coal seam (煤层) close to the ground’s surface in Black Country. The aim of this trip was to prepare us for a geography project about rivers. We also learned more about the history of England during the Industrial Revolution (革命). On the first day of our trip, we went to Carding Mill Valley near Birmingham and learned about the changes that could happen to a river as it flowed downstream (下游). Our teacher had given us a few lessons on how rivers worked before the trip, so we were well-prepared for the project we had to do. The next day, we went to the famous Black Museum where we learned about coal mining (开采) and the lives of the people who lived during the Industrial Revolution. The highlight of the day was when we visited a coal mine and watched a skilled man make iron chain. The trip was truly satisfying. I like how we got the chance to experience what we learned in class and practice it in real life. It was a useful way to get us more interested in what we were learning about. It also showed us the importance of the journey while learning something new. 1．________, the ninth grade class went on a trip to the Black Country a few weeks ago.

It’s the destination (目的地) of our recent school trip. We got up early and jumped onto the boats. As the engine (引擎) of the boat hummed (嗡嗡作响), snow-white bubbles came out from below the boat, and the breeze (微风) rushed into my face. The first island we arrived at was called the Island of the Pregnant (怀孕的) Maiden, whose name came from the mountains looking like a pregnant lady. We were allowed into the water for about half an hour, and I had fun playing with my partners in the water. All was fine until one of my water shoes fell into the lake. So I had to spend the rest of the trip with only one shoe on. When we first walked through the forest, I thought it was a nice walk. But with only one shoe, my foot came across either cold pieces of glass or hot stones along the way. As the day went on, the land became increasingly jagged (凹凸不平的). I winced (皱起脸) with every step I took. But then something magical happened—I found a seashell the size of my hand by accident! I felt like I had found gold and all the pain was worth (值得) it. The trip was a precious (宝贵的) experience—the beautiful sea views and the beach treasure hunt were wonderful moments for me.

So last December, government wildlife experts (专家) came up with a plan to give food to the manatees. They decided to feed them green vegetables like lettuce and cabbage. Ron Mezich, an expert, said, “We’re making a difference.” So far, they have served up more than 193,000 pounds of lettuce to hungry manatees. Manatees are huge sea animals that only eat sea grass and other plants that live in the sea. That’s one reason why they’re sometimes called “sea cows”. Since 1967, Florida’s manatees have been on the US government’s list of endangered animals. Most dangers to manatees come from humans. One of the biggest problems facing the animals are boats. Thousands of manatees were hit or killed by boats. At one point, there were only about 2,000 manatees left in Florida. With protection, the number increased. In 2016, there were more than 6,000 manatees. However, as sea grass began to disappear, the number of manatees keeps going down again. Warming seas with polluted water have created huge growths of algae (藻) on the ocean’s surface. The algae blocks the sunlight that allows the sea grass to grow. In Indian River Lagoon, where manatees often go in the winter, about 90% of the sea grass beds there have died off. Florida will work to help restore (恢复) sea grass beds. But that will take time. Scientists still worry that hundreds more manatees could starve this winter. 1．How has the number of manatees changed over years? A．B．C． D． 2．Which shows the correct order of the reasons for manatees’ death? A．sea pollution → growth of algae → death of sea grass → death of manatees B．growth of algae → sea pollution → death of sea grass → death of manatees C．sea pollution → death of sea grass→ growth of algae → death of manatees D．growth of algae → death of sea grass→ sea pollution → death of manatees 3．What is the meaning of the underlined word “starve”? A．to be hit by boats B．to eat up sea grass C．to die from hunger D．to lose swimming ability 4．Which is the best title for this passage? A．Manatees Feeding Program B．Money Given to Save Manatees C．Sea Grass Beds Restored for Manatees D．Reasons for Manatees’ Death Still Unclear 11.（22-23八年级下·江苏无锡·期中）When you think about a Hawaiian holiday, you may think about relaxing on the beach with a drink in your hand and the sun on your body. Hawaii is certainly a perfect place for a lazy holiday, but there is much more than just sunshine and beaches. These large islands of Hawaii that are open to visitors each offer something a little different, so where you go will depend on (取决于) what kind of holiday you like. Molokai (莫洛凯岛) If you go on holiday to experience local culture and history, then there is no place better than the island of Molokai.

And if you dream about leaving the city behind and spending all of your time with the local wildlife, this may be the place for you! Here you can swim with manta rays (魔鬼鱼) and snorkel (用通气管潜泳) with green sea turtles (海龟), and maybe you’ll see a dolphin or a humpback whale (驼背鲸) by the Kona Coast. 1．What does underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean?

This process helps you do with culture shock. Culture shock begins with the “honeymoon period”. This is the time when you first arrive in a place where everything about the new culture is strange and exciting. You see new things, hear new sounds and language, eat new kinds of food. This period can last for quite a long time because you feel very happy. Unluckily, the second period can be more difficult. After you have got used to your new life, you can become very tired and begin to miss your motherland, your family, your friends, your pets and so on. All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more worrying when you face them in a foreign country. This period can be very difficult and lead to moving backwards quickly. The third period is called the “adjustment (调整) period”. This is when you begin to know that things are not so bad in the new country. Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you know you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult but you are now a survivor. The fourth period can be called “at ease at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new place. You can do with most problems that you have. You may still have problems with language, but you know you are strong enough to do with them. At this time, you may feel a little uncomfortable if you go back to your motherland. 1．According to the passage, culture shock usually happens when you ________. A．get married to a foreigner B．live in a big city C．go to live in a foreign country D．meet foreigners in your motherland 2．During the first period of the process. you feel ________. A．sad and lonely B．happy and excited C．angry but strong D．easy but uncomfortable 3．The fourth period can be regarded as a period of being ________. A．relaxing B．worrying C．tiring D．adjustable 4．From the passage we can infer that ________. A．living in another country is fun B．it’s boring to live in another country C．knowing about culture shock is hard D．it’s not easy to deal with culture shock 16.（23-24八年级下·江苏南通·期中）The Chinese pingfeng, a folding screen, is an old invention (发明) and traditional Chinese furniture. Its earliest common use dates from the Han Dynasty. The pingfeng means protection from wind, showing its purpose at the very beginning. As time passes, it has been made into different sizes with colourful paintings. On screens usually appears (出现) a dragon. It stands for nobility and power. The peacock, a beautiful bird, can be seen on screens, too. It’s a symbol of everlasting (永久的) life. Beautiful flowers mean good luck. Lots of people like to choose them as a popular design of the pingfeng. All the designs carry people’s beautiful wishes. Behind the pingfeng lies an interesting story. In the past, the unmarried daughter of a rich family couldn’t be seen by men except her father, brothers or very close cousins. When an admirer (仰慕者) paid a visit, however, she might take a secret look at him from a screen behind. Her father would discuss poems with the young man and ask him to create (创造) one. If the daughter and her father were glad with the young man’s poem and his looks, she might agree to marry him.     Today the pingfeng is back in fashion for its beauty and its practical (实际的) use as furniture. Acting as a moving wall, it can be the perfect match for modern sofas and walls, and it adds style to them. The pingfeng is more than beautiful furniture. 1．What did people use the pingfeng for at the very beginning? A．Hiding a person. B．Decorating a room. C．Dividing (分) a room.

In winter, they return to Africa. As they travel from one place to another, they use the sun, stars, smells and landforms (地形) to find the way. The migration is long and difficult, and some of the animals die during each trip. However, it is not this twice-a-year journey that poses the greatest risk for these animals. The main danger to the birds comes from hunters all over the Mediterranean (地中海地区). Millions of migratory birds are killed every year. As a result, the bird population is falling. In countries along the Mediterranean, many migratory birds are illegally (非法地) trapped or killed. Besides traps, hunters also use electronic calls to catch birds. They make bird sounds to attract the birds. Some hunters also use nets to catch birds as they fly close to the sea. “There are no birds,” said one local man. “We walk for hours without seeing any. It’s really frightening.” Birds are in danger, and many countries are working to solve this problem. In the European Union, hunting migratory birds is illegal in some countries, while in others, it is strictly controlled—the birds can only be hunted at a certain time of year. What’s more, many nature-protection groups are making sure that laws are obeyed. This has been successful in many places. For example, Sicily, an island of Italy, was once a place where illegal bird hunting often happened. Today, it has mostly eliminated (消除) bird hunting, and as a result, birdwatching is becoming popular there. Wildlife organizations around the Mediterranean are helping to bring about change. “Hunting bans (禁令) are working,” said Martin Schneider-Jacoby, a bird scientist. “But there is still more to do. We hope to stop hunting and protect birds’ living areas all over the Mediterranean. If this can be done, the number of birds will increase. There’s a long way to go, but there is hope.” 1．The underlined word “poses” probably means “________” in Paragraph 2. A．causes B．chooses C．closes D．collects 2．What change has taken place in Sicily? A．Bird hunting is hardly seen in Sicily. B．Some rare birds can be seen in Sicily. C．Hunters try to attract more birds to the area. D．The weather has become more pleasant in the area. 3．Which of the following would Martin Schneider-Jacoby agree with the most? A．There should be more laws to protect baby birds. B．It’s possible that the bird population may continue to fall. C．More countries need to stop hunting to increase the bird population. D．The only way to increase the bird population is to allow limited hunting. 4．The passage is mainly about ________. A．several problems caused by migratory birds B．why migratory birds are hunted in the world C．how tourism causes a drop in migratory bird population D．the situation of migratory birds and the efforts to protect them 18.（23-24八年级下·江苏南通·期中）Forest bathing began in Japan in the 1980s. It is a practice called shinrin—yoku, which can be translated as “taking in the medicine or air of the forest”. It has recently grown more popular worldwide. When people take time in the natural green world to “be” in a fully present way, studies show it does good to health. One of the good things of taking a walk in nature is getting away from screens. When we enjoy nature, we keep ourselves away from computers or mobile phones. We take a break and allow ourselves to get strength and energy back. During forest bathing, we are slowing down, stopping making quick decisions, experiencing the pleasure of nature through all of our senses, enjoying being alive and enjoying just the present moment. In fact, forest bathing is also becoming a more and more popular way of treating stress (压力). Forest bathing is believed to help those experiencing stressful situations. In one recent study, people who formed the habits of walking through forests had lowered blood pressure (血压) and got out of worries. At the same time bathing in forest air produces more natural killer—NK cells (细胞) in our blood. Our body uses these NK cells to fight illness. One Japanese study showed a rise in the number and activity of these NK cells among people who forest bathe. Plants and trees in forests can also send out something called phytoncides (植物杀菌剂). This tree oil can not only protect plants and trees themselves, but also help people sleep well, lift mood and attention, bring joy and boost health. Forest bathing needs repeated practice. It’s not a one-and-done quick fix. Studies in England on green spaces showed that spending at least 120 minutes a week in nature helps with good health. It doesn’t matter if you break up the two hours into shorter walks in a local park filled with lots of trees or spend an afternoon in a forest. Taking a quick walk through nature and rushing through the activity to get back to work, let’s say, may not be as helpful. Nor is it advised to play loud music as you walk. Forest bathing shows a different way of life. You’re walking through nature in a forest and taking your time. You’re noticing feelings and staring more of a relaxing and meaningful life. 1．According to the passage, during forest bathing people may ________. A．think only of the past moment B．make decisions more quickly C．spend less energy to take exercise D．keep themselves away from worries 2．The underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________. A．risk B．improve C．harm D．offer 3．About forest bathing, the writer might agree that ________. A．people should form a habit of walking in nature B．playing light music while walking can be helpful C．walking for at least 2 hours every time is necessary D．NK cells and phytoncides are both produced in plants 4．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．How can we enjoy forest baths in nature? B．Is it helpful or unhelpful to forest bathe? C．Forest bathing is a great help from nature. D．Forest bathing is a way to change nature. 19.（23-24八年级下·江苏连云港·期中）Scientists found the tiniest vertebrate (脊椎动物) in the world! It’s called the Brazilian flea toad (巴西跳蚤蟾蜍). However, here’s the funny thing—it’s not actually a toad or a flea, but a special kind of frog that lives on a few hills in Brazil. Male Brazilian flea toads are only about 7 millimeters long and females (雌性) are about 8 millimeters. One could easily sit on the tip of your finger. Being so small, their bodies look a bit different compared to those of other frogs. While most frogs have five toes on their back legs and four toes on their front legs, these little frogs only have two toes, according to Science News. They also can’t jump like a flea. A study in 2022 found that when they try to jump, they lose their balance (平衡)! They’re just so small that their bodies aren’t good at helping them stay balanced. Scientists believe that there are still many other mini “surprises” waiting to be found out there in the world. And anything smaller than six millimeters long would teach us a lot about how animals’ bodies work. 1．What can we know about the Brazilian flea toad? A．It’s a toad. B．It’s a flea. C．It’s a special kind of frog. D．It is good at jumping. 2．How long are male Brazilian flea toads? A．About 7 millimeters. B．About 8 millimeters. C．About 9 millimeters. D．About 10 millimeters. 3．Why can’t Brazilian flea toads jump like a flea? A．Because they could easily sit on the tip of your finger. B．Because they are so small that their bodies aren’t good at helping them stay balanced. C．Because they live on a few hills in Brazil. D．Because they have fewer toes than other frogs. 4．What’s the best title of the passage? A．A Study in 2022 B．The Tiniest Vertebrate in the World C．Some Facts about Frogs D．Ways to Keep Balanced 20.（23-24八年级下·江苏南通·期中）“You are just like your mother.” This phrase is often said by many. As we grow older, we may notice that we’re getting more like our mother. Yet surprisingly, a new study has found that most people are more similar to (与……相似) their father. A team of scientists from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine in the US found that we inherit (继承) the same number of genes (基因) from mother and father. But we use more of the DNA we inherit from our father. The study helps us to explain who we are in some ways. And more importantly, it helps us to find out whether we are likely to develop diseases (疾病). For example, if we inherit the gene for a disease from our mother, it may not be as strong as if we had inherited it from our father. “We know that there are 95 genes affected (影响) by our parents,” said lead researcher Professor Fernando Pardo-Manuel de Villena. These are called imprinted genes. But now, the study has found that there are thousands of other genes that have come from our parents. For the study, the scientists chose three different kinds of mice with different genes. The mice then gave birth to nine babies each. When they all grew up, the team then check every single gene of their DNA．They found an imbalance that swung toward their father. Villena also said that the recent study was the first to show that mammals (哺乳动物) are more similar to their fathers than mothers. “This is an exceptional new finding that opens the door to a totally new area of study in human genetics. It’s amazing.” he said. 1．Which of the following is true according to the passage? A．All the people are more similar to their fathers. B．Scientists had carried out similar studies before. C．Genes are affected more by fathers than by mothers. D．People inherit more genes from fathers than mothers. 2．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．We are stronger than our father and mother. B．The finding can help us know possible diseases. C．We inherit exactly the same diseases from our parents. D．We don’t inherit the gene of a disease from our mother. 3．What does the underlined word “exceptional” mean in the passage? A．excellent B．easy C．natural D．common 4．What is the best title of the passage? A．How many genes affect us in our life? B．How do the scientists carry out a study? C．Are we more like our mother or father? D．Can our genes change when we grow up? 21.（23-24八年级下·江苏连云港·期中）Football is popular all over the world. Even long ago, it was played in many different countries. About two thousand three hundred years ago, Chinese soldiers exercised by kicking a ball around. Even then they tried to kick the ball into a net. People believe that was the earliest football game. Scoring a goal was important in the past and it still is! Now there are eleven people on each team. In the past all football players were men but now women also play football. Teams have not always had just eleven players. When the ancient (古代的) Romans played the game, they had twenty-seven men on each team. When the game was played in villages in England five hundred years ago, every man in the village played and the game lasted all day and all night! Now the game only lasts for ninety minutes. Some rules for football were written in England in 1815, but these rules said that players could carry the ball. New rules were made later. These rules said that you cannot use your hands if you aren’t the goalkeeper (守门员). The first international match using the modern rules was played between Scotland and England in 1872. Football can be fast and exciting even today, but it is a much safer game now than it was in the past. One thousand years ago, people were allowed to punch (拳打), kick and bite each other during the game. If you do any of these things today, you will get the red card and have to leave the game. The first football competition in the world was the English Football Association Cup. When it started, there were only twelve teams in the competition. Now there are teams all over the world and we have the World Cup every four years. 1．Which country is the first one to play “football”? A．Roman. B．England. C．China. D．Japan. 2．How does the writer introduce different rules of football games? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving examples. C．By asking questions. D．By showing pictures. 3．What can we know about football games from the passage? A．Every man could play in a game in ancient Roman. B．Both men and women could play football in the past. C．People got a red card if they bit others 1000 years ago. D．Players could carry the ball according to the rules in 1815. 4．Which is the best title for the passage? A．Changes in football. B．Skills of football. C．Meaning of football. D．Culture of football. 22.（23-24八年级下·江苏无锡·期中）Time flies when you play on your smartphone. But when you get down to the real business of work and study, one hour feels like a year. Why are we so attracted (被吸引) by smartphones but easily bored by studying? It all boils down to something small and hard to see: dopamine. Dopamine is a “pleasure chemical (化学物质)” that makes people feel good. Our brains give it out when we eat yummy food, after we exercise or when we get a prize. Compared with studying, playing on smartphones causes our brains to give out more dopamine. For example, checking your phone for a text leads to a 400 percent increase in dopamine. But why? When we visit social media, we don’t know what we’ll see next, or who will give opinions about things we post. This “magic of maybe”, makes the dopamine system active. We get excited wondering if we have messages from our friends. When our expectations are met, dopamine is given out. And to find more dopamine, we continue checking our phones. Studying doesn’t provide such magic. Without this excitement, we get bored much more easily. Can we do something to change that? According to scientists, apps can become less attractive if we turn off notifications (通知) or change the screen colors to black and white. We can also set time limits (设置时间限制) on apps so that we do not overuse them. “As for studying, you could check your progress daily or weekly and reward yourself for it”, said Daniel Wong, writer of The Happy Student, “You could also search for interesting topics connected with your textbook. Use what you’ve learned to make an influence in the real world. This will make knowledge much more interesting to learn”. 1．What might the underlined phrase “boils down to” mean in Paragraph 2? A．results from B．turns out C．leads to D．works out 2．When do people have more dopamine? A．When they know what will happen next. B．When they stay in a familiar environment. C．When they get used to something. D．When their expectations are met. 3．Which statement is TRUE according to the passage? A．We are attracted by smartphones but easily bored by studying. B．Our brains give dopamine out before we exercise or get a prize. C．The “magic of maybe” excites us when we receive messages. D．Apps can become less attractive if we change the sound of notifications. 4．Which of the following might Daniel Wong suggest to make learning interesting? A．Setting time limits on everything you do. B．Using what you learn from textbooks to do things in real life. C．Stopping playing and finding more interests in real life. D．Reading the interesting part in your textbooks before reading the others. 23.（23-24八年级下·江苏连云港·期中）Are you afraid of lightning? Some people think it scary, but others think it’s exciting. But do you know how it forms (形成)? In fact, lightning is a big flash of electricity (电). It happens more often in the summer than in the winter. That’s because there are more storms in the summer. Sunny weather and hot temperature heat the air and make water evaporate (蒸发). The hot air and water vapor rise into the sky. As they rise, they meet the cold air. The cold air makes the water vapor turn into water drops or ice crystals (晶体). Then they form a cloud. Inside the cloud, the water drops and ice crystals carry a tiny bit of electricity. The electricity continues to be stronger until the lightning forms. Lightning can jump from one cloud to another. It can also move from a cloud to the ground. Sometimes lightning can even move from the ground up to a cloud. Lightning is five times hotter than the sun. Lightning hits the air around it so quickly that the air breaks out. Thunder is a sound we hear when it happens. Light moves faster than sound. This means we see the flash of lightning before we hear the thunder. It takes five seconds for the noise of the thunder to go one mile. If you see lightning and then hear thunder five seconds later, the storm is one mile away. 1．What is the second paragraph mainly about? A．How does a cloud form? B．Why does the air break out? C．Why is lightning hotter than the sun? D．How does lightning heat the air around? 2．Which of the following carries the electricity according to Paragraph 3? ①Water drops. ②Cold air. ③The clouds. ④Ice crystals. A．①③ B．②③ C．①④ D．③④ 3．How long does it take the thunder travel five miles? A．Five seconds. B．Ten seconds. C．Fifteen seconds. D．Twenty-five seconds. 4．Where is the passage from? A．A science magazine. B．A health website. C．A travel guide. D．A weather report. 24.（23-24八年级下·江苏常州·期中）This winter, Blossoms Shanghai (电视剧《繁花》) has been the talk of the city and beyond. Viewers (观众) all over China have been watching and talking about the TV series. Their strong interest has even brought many fans to the city. They come to walk down Huanghe Road, eat pork chops with rice cakes, and, of course, learn Shanghainese. Blossoms Shanghai has two versions (版本). One is in Mandarin (普通话) and the other is in the Shanghai dialect. Many people like the dialect version better. They say it better shows the magic of the city’s culture. Part of that magic lies in the culture’s openness. Do you know what “lao hu chuang” means? Well, this phrase has nothing to do with “tigers”. It comes from the English term “roof window”. In the Shanghai dialect (方言), “tiger” sounds close to “roof”. Another example is “wo se”. It comes from the word “worse”. People use it to say that they feel sad. English surely isn’t the only influence (影响) on Shanghainese. The local languages of neighboring cities have had influence on it, too. In most schools, students are told to speak only Mandarin to make communication easier. But many students continue speaking it after school. Over time, they forget their “native language”. I recently asked some of my young Shanghainese friends how to say “kitchen” in the Shanghai dialect. Most of them answered, “zi vang”. Few said, “zao pi ge” (灶披间) or “zao dou ge”. Many people are now learning or relearning the Shanghai dialect from Blossoms Shanghai. Would you like to join them? 1．What don’t viewers do after watching Blossoms Shanghai according to the passage? A．Visit Shanghai. B．Learn Shanghainese. C．Eat pork chops with rice cakes. D．Talk about the streets in Shanghai. 2．Paragraph 3 mainly talks about ________. A．the magic of Shanghai dialect B．Shanghai dialect about animals and English C．examples about how English influences Shanghainese D．how the local languages of neighboring cities influence Shanghainese 3．Which of the following is true according to this passage? A．Viewers are most interested in the food in the Blossoms Shanghai. B．All students in Shanghai are told to speak only Mandarin at school. C．Shanghainese have forgotten how to speak dialect these years. D．Blossoms Shanghai in the Shanghai dialect is much more popular. 4．Which of the following may be the purpose (目的) of this passage? A．To attract more people to visit Shanghai. B．To introduce the TV series called Blossoms Shanghai. C．To ask people to speak only Mandarin at school. D．To wish people to speak both dialect and Mandarin. 25.（23-24八年级下·江苏扬州·期中）Nature is amazing! Take a close look at the world of insects (昆虫), you’ll discover many unbelievable things. Butterflies, for example. They have beautiful, colorful wings, and strong, fantastic flying skills. On summer days, you always see them flying freely over flower gardens and wild fields. But, did you know how butterflies become the flying insects? It’s one of the amazing wonders of nature. In the beginning, female butterflies lay a small and colorful egg on a leaf or stem (茎) of a plant. It’s hard to believe that the egg will become something completely different in a few days. It becomes a walking insect. This insect is called caterpillar. It now has legs, eyes and a large body. A new life has begun. The caterpillar can eat, walk and see. But it is still not a butterfly. Soon, after growing big, the caterpillar makes a cover for itself. It covers itself in the nice protective blanket (保护层) and goes to sleep. This stage is known as the “pupa (蛹)” stage. After a period of time, the blanket breaks and a wet, weak butterfly appears. It now has six legs, a mouth, eyes and wings. Shortly, the wings fill with blood, and the beautiful, colorful butterfly spreads its wings and flies away. After a few weeks, this adult butterfly lays her eggs, and the cycle begins all over again. This is just one example of the wonders of nature. Look around the natural world, and you will learn many truly amazing things. 1．What is NOT mentioned (提及) in Paragraph 1? A．Butterflies are a kind of insect. B．Butterflies are good at flying. C．Butterflies have colorful wings. D．Butterflies have a good sense of smell. 2．What does the underlined word “caterpillar” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese?

Gradually (逐渐地) they lost their fear of me. Sometimes the children even played hide and seek in my hair. One day, the king invited me to attend an important show. A thin rope was tied between two poles (柱子) very high above the ground. The people who wanted the best jobs had to dance on this rope. Each dancer tried to jump higher than the others. I had never seen such a dangerous sport. Although many dancers may fall and be hurt or killed, the king thought the most important job should be given to the bravest and skilled dancer. What a strange way! Then when the king watched, I tied each corner of my handkerchief (手帕) to a strong stick. I pushed the four sticks into the ground. My handkerchief was now under the rope but above the ground. “Your majesty,” I said, “any dancer who falls will now land on my handkerchief and not get hurt.” “You are a wise big one”, said the king. I gently put them on my hand and held it beside the rope so they had a good view of the dancers. One very skilled performer turned several cart wheels (车轮) on the road. Later that king made this man one of his chief advisers. One day, I said again, “Your majesty, please set me free.” This time he answered, “I will set you free, if you make six promises (承诺): ·You must help my country in the coming war. ·Before you visit the capital, you must give two hours warning. And my people can get out of the streets. ·You mustn’t knock or step on my people or their animals. ·You must carry important messages for me quickly to anywhere in Lilliput. ·You must help my workers carry heavy objects (物品). ·You must not leave the kingdom without my permission (允许). “I promise!” I told the king. “Then you may have your freedom.

You may think, “Not me, I won’t get sick on my vacation.” But for many people, that is what happens. Of course you don’t want to spend your vacation sick in bed. So what can you do to stay in good health? There are three things you should remember when you travel: relax, sleep and eat well. A vacation should be a time for relaxing. But very often it is not. Think about what you do when you are a tourist. There are so many places to visit: museums, shops, parks and churches. You may spend most days walking around these places. You may be very tired. Your feet may hurt and you may have a terrible headache after a few hours. If this is the way you feel, you should take a rest. Don’t ask your body to do too much. A tired body means a weak body. And a weak body gets sick easily. So sit down for a few hours in a nice place. In good weather, look for a quiet park chair or you can stop at a corner. You can learn a lot by watching people while you rest. Sleep is also important. If you want to stay healthy, you need to get enough sleep. You may have trouble sleeping at night when you travel. Your hotel room may be noisy or the bed may be uncomfortable. If this is true, don’t be afraid to change rooms or hotels, or you may not get enough sleep. You may want to stay out late at night. In many cities the nightlife can be very interesting. Then you should plan to sleep for an hour during the day. That extra hour can make a big difference. Finally, if you want to stay healthy, you must eat well. That means eating the right kinds of food. Your body needs fresh fruits and vegetables, and some meat, milk or cheese. When you are in a new country, you may want to try new food but you need to be careful about how much you eat. Lots of rich food is not good for you. 1．This passage is mainly about ________. A．relaxing when you travel B．how exciting travel is C．what to eat when you travel D．how to stay healthy when you travel 2．Travelling around can be ________. A．no fun B．unhealthy C．very tiring D．the best way to relax 3．It’s a good idea to ________ when travelling.

The good news is that travelling might become smarter by that time. European airline EasyJet has made some predictions (预测) and showed them to the public: The Future Travel Report. Let’s take a look at some of their ideas. Paper passports will be a thing of the past. You will use “heartbeat passports” instead. According to experts, everyone’s heartbeat is different. So your heartbeat will be taken and be used to tell who you are. The seats on the plane will no longer be “one size fits all”. You’ll be able to book a seat according to your body type. The seat might even be able to cool or warm you until you feel comfortable with the temperature. There will also be no more screens on the back of your seats. A special machine in the future could show movies straight in front of your eyes. If you hate packing clothes, you may not need to do it in the future. Before you fly, your body shape will be taken. And when you arrive, you’ll find a wardrobe filled with 3D-printed clothes in your size. When you leave, the clothes can be recycled and reprinted for the next person. You can also 3D print whatever you want to eat. If you like to visit historic sites (历史古迹), augmented reality (AR，增强现实) will change the game. Wearing a headset, you can see what happened at a historic site, such as a famous battle. You may even be able to sit among the cheering people at the first Olympic Games. 1．According to The Future Travel Report, which of the following can you do? A．You can make your heartbeat different. B．You can watch a film without a screen. C．You can wear other people’s 3D-printed clothes. D．You can take part in a famous battle with a headset. 2．Which is the advantage (优势) of future seats on the plane? A．They have the same size. B．They can change temperature. C．They won’t have any screens on the seat. D．They can show movies in front of your eyes. 3．How does the passage show the functions (功能) of AR? A．By asking questions. B．By telling stories. C．By giving examples. D．By showing details. 4．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．Tips for travelling in the future. B．Problems with travelling in the future. C．What travelling will be like in the future. D．What to do when travelling in the future. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了在2070年，旅游会变得更加智能化。 1．细节理解题。根据“There will also be no more screens on the back of your seats.

Many believe the name comes from the 1760s because of the smoke put out by factories at that time. There is also a 1-meter-thick coal seam (煤层) close to the ground’s surface in Black Country. The aim of this trip was to prepare us for a geography project about rivers. We also learned more about the history of England during the Industrial Revolution (革命). On the first day of our trip, we went to Carding Mill Valley near Birmingham and learned about the changes that could happen to a river as it flowed downstream (下游). Our teacher had given us a few lessons on how rivers worked before the trip, so we were well-prepared for the project we had to do. The next day, we went to the famous Black Museum where we learned about coal mining (开采) and the lives of the people who lived during the Industrial Revolution. The highlight of the day was when we visited a coal mine and watched a skilled man make iron chain. The trip was truly satisfying. I like how we got the chance to experience what we learned in class and practice it in real life. It was a useful way to get us more interested in what we were learning about. It also showed us the importance of the journey while learning something new. 1．________, the ninth grade class went on a trip to the Black Country a few weeks ago.

It’s the destination (目的地) of our recent school trip. We got up early and jumped onto the boats. As the engine (引擎) of the boat hummed (嗡嗡作响), snow-white bubbles came out from below the boat, and the breeze (微风) rushed into my face. The first island we arrived at was called the Island of the Pregnant (怀孕的) Maiden, whose name came from the mountains looking like a pregnant lady. We were allowed into the water for about half an hour, and I had fun playing with my partners in the water. All was fine until one of my water shoes fell into the lake. So I had to spend the rest of the trip with only one shoe on. When we first walked through the forest, I thought it was a nice walk. But with only one shoe, my foot came across either cold pieces of glass or hot stones along the way. As the day went on, the land became increasingly jagged (凹凸不平的). I winced (皱起脸) with every step I took. But then something magical happened—I found a seashell the size of my hand by accident! I felt like I had found gold and all the pain was worth (值得) it. The trip was a precious (宝贵的) experience—the beautiful sea views and the beach treasure hunt were wonderful moments for me. I’ve learned an important lesson from that day, which is not to focus on the bad memories, but to remember the cheerful feelings and value them. 1．The writer felt _________ at the end of the day.

B．Always remember to go outdoor to enjoy beautiful views. C．Life is full of troubles and difficulties whatever we do. D．Try to remember the cheerful feelings instead of bad memories in our life. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者的一次学校旅行的经历。 1．推理判断题。根据“But then something magical happened—I found a seashell the size of my hand by accident!

So last December, government wildlife experts (专家) came up with a plan to give food to the manatees. They decided to feed them green vegetables like lettuce and cabbage. Ron Mezich, an expert, said, “We’re making a difference.” So far, they have served up more than 193,000 pounds of lettuce to hungry manatees. Manatees are huge sea animals that only eat sea grass and other plants that live in the sea. That’s one reason why they’re sometimes called “sea cows”. Since 1967, Florida’s manatees have been on the US government’s list of endangered animals. Most dangers to manatees come from humans. One of the biggest problems facing the animals are boats. Thousands of manatees were hit or killed by boats. At one point, there were only about 2,000 manatees left in Florida. With protection, the number increased. In 2016, there were more than 6,000 manatees. However, as sea grass began to disappear, the number of manatees keeps going down again. Warming seas with polluted water have created huge growths of algae (藻) on the ocean’s surface. The algae blocks the sunlight that allows the sea grass to grow. In Indian River Lagoon, where manatees often go in the winter, about 90% of the sea grass beds there have died off. Florida will work to help restore (恢复) sea grass beds. But that will take time. Scientists still worry that hundreds more manatees could starve this winter. 1．How has the number of manatees changed over years? A．B．C． D． 2．Which shows the correct order of the reasons for manatees’ death? A．sea pollution → growth of algae → death of sea grass → death of manatees B．growth of algae → sea pollution → death of sea grass → death of manatees C．sea pollution → death of sea grass→ growth of algae → death of manatees D．growth of algae → death of sea grass→ sea pollution → death of manatees 3．What is the meaning of the underlined word “starve”? A．to be hit by boats B．to eat up sea grass C．to die from hunger D．to lose swimming ability 4．Which is the best title for this passage? A．Manatees Feeding Program B．Money Given to Save Manatees C．Sea Grass Beds Restored for Manatees D．Reasons for Manatees’ Death Still Unclear 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了海牛所面临的问题是饥饿，同时介绍了政府制定了给海牛喂食的计划。 1．细节理解题。根据“Since 1967, Florida’s manatees have been on the US government’s list of endangered animals.”和“With protection, the number increased. In 2016, there were more than 6,000 manatees.”可知，1967年海牛的数量是比较低的，在政府的保护下，2016年数量有所增长，结合“However, as sea grass began to disappear, the number of manatees keeps going down again.”可知，现在又因为海草的问题，海牛的数量又下降了，B选项符合。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Warming seas with polluted water have created huge growths of algae (藻) on the ocean’s surface. The algae blocks the sunlight that allows the sea grass to grow.”可知，海水污染导致了海藻生长，这挡住了海草生长所需要的阳光；根据“However, as sea grass began to disappear, the number of manatees keeps going down again.”可知，海草减少了，那么海牛也会消失，因此选项A的顺序正确。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据“Scientists still worry that hundreds more manatees could starve this winter.”及前文描述可知，海草因为污染导致数量减少，而以海草为生的海牛可能会因为挨饿而死亡，所以starve与to die from hunger同义。故选C。 4．最佳标题题。根据“About 1,101 manatees died in Florida last year, many from hunger. So last December, government wildlife experts (专家) came up with a plan to give food to the manatees.”以及通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了海牛所面临的问题是因为没有足够的海草而导致饥饿，同时介绍了政府制定了给海牛喂食的计划，因此选项A“海牛喂养计划”为最佳标题。故选A。 11.（22-23八年级下·江苏无锡·期中）When you think about a Hawaiian holiday, you may think about relaxing on the beach with a drink in your hand and the sun on your body. Hawaii is certainly a perfect place for a lazy holiday, but there is much more than just sunshine and beaches. These large islands of Hawaii that are open to visitors each offer something a little different, so where you go will depend on (取决于) what kind of holiday you like. Molokai (莫洛凯岛) If you go on holiday to experience local culture and history, then there is no place better than the island of Molokai. Take a tour of the Halawa Valley, where the earliest Hawaiians are thought to have built one of the island’s first villages, and find out what Hawaii might have looked like hundreds of years ago. Kauai (考艾岛) Do you prefer your holiday to be more exciting? The island of Kauai is home to the Napali Coast State Wilderness Park, state park full of beautiful views and nature trails (小路). Why not try a hike along the sea on the 18-kilometer trail? Or book a place at the Hanakoa campsite so you can rest under the stars. The Island of Hawaii     Hawaii’s biggest cities are on the island of Oahu, but Oahu isn’t the state’s largest island. That would be the Island of Hawaii, also called the “Big Island”. And if you dream about leaving the city behind and spending all of your time with the local wildlife, this may be the place for you! Here you can swim with manta rays (魔鬼鱼) and snorkel (用通气管潜泳) with green sea turtles (海龟), and maybe you’ll see a dolphin or a humpback whale (驼背鲸) by the Kona Coast. 1．What does underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean? A．A Hawaiian holiday is all about relaxing on the beach with a drink and sunshine. B．Many people like to go to Hawaii because of its beautiful views.

C．Three large islands of Hawaii. D．Big great cities of Hawaii. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了夏威夷的莫洛凯岛、考艾岛和夏威夷岛这三大岛屿。 1．句意猜测题。根据“Hawaii is certainly a perfect place for a lazy holiday, but there is much more than just sunshine and beaches.”可知，夏威夷无疑是一个慵懒度假的完美之地，但这里不仅仅只有阳光和海滩。由此推知，此句意为“在夏威夷你不仅可以看到阳光和海滩，还可以看到更多的东西”。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“Why not try a hike along the sea on the 18-kilometer trail?”可知，如果你想享受一次沿着海边的长途徒步旅行，你可以选择考艾岛。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“When you think about a Hawaiian holiday, you may think about relaxing on the beach with a drink in your hand and the sun on your body.”可知，当你想到夏威夷度假时，你可能会想到在海滩上放松一下，手里拿着饮料，身上晒着太阳。由此推知，夏威夷假日以阳光和海滩而闻名。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了夏威夷的莫洛凯岛、考艾岛和夏威夷岛这三大岛屿。故选C。 12.（22-23八年级下·江苏南京·期中） You might have heard of Bear Grylls.

This process helps you do with culture shock. Culture shock begins with the “honeymoon period”. This is the time when you first arrive in a place where everything about the new culture is strange and exciting. You see new things, hear new sounds and language, eat new kinds of food. This period can last for quite a long time because you feel very happy. Unluckily, the second period can be more difficult. After you have got used to your new life, you can become very tired and begin to miss your motherland, your family, your friends, your pets and so on. All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more worrying when you face them in a foreign country. This period can be very difficult and lead to moving backwards quickly. The third period is called the “adjustment (调整) period”. This is when you begin to know that things are not so bad in the new country. Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you know you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult but you are now a survivor. The fourth period can be called “at ease at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new place. You can do with most problems that you have. You may still have problems with language, but you know you are strong enough to do with them. At this time, you may feel a little uncomfortable if you go back to your motherland. 1．According to the passage, culture shock usually happens when you ________.

In winter, they return to Africa. As they travel from one place to another, they use the sun, stars, smells and landforms (地形) to find the way. The migration is long and difficult, and some of the animals die during each trip. However, it is not this twice-a-year journey that poses the greatest risk for these animals. The main danger to the birds comes from hunters all over the Mediterranean (地中海地区). Millions of migratory birds are killed every year. As a result, the bird population is falling. In countries along the Mediterranean, many migratory birds are illegally (非法地) trapped or killed. Besides traps, hunters also use electronic calls to catch birds. They make bird sounds to attract the birds. Some hunters also use nets to catch birds as they fly close to the sea. “There are no birds,” said one local man. “We walk for hours without seeing any. It’s really frightening.” Birds are in danger, and many countries are working to solve this problem. In the European Union, hunting migratory birds is illegal in some countries, while in others, it is strictly controlled—the birds can only be hunted at a certain time of year. What’s more, many nature-protection groups are making sure that laws are obeyed. This has been successful in many places. For example, Sicily, an island of Italy, was once a place where illegal bird hunting often happened. Today, it has mostly eliminated (消除) bird hunting, and as a result, birdwatching is becoming popular there. Wildlife organizations around the Mediterranean are helping to bring about change. “Hunting bans (禁令) are working,” said Martin Schneider-Jacoby, a bird scientist. “But there is still more to do. We hope to stop hunting and protect birds’ living areas all over the Mediterranean. If this can be done, the number of birds will increase. There’s a long way to go, but there is hope.” 1．The underlined word “poses” probably means “________” in Paragraph 2. A．causes B．chooses C．closes D．collects 2．What change has taken place in Sicily? A．Bird hunting is hardly seen in Sicily. B．Some rare birds can be seen in Sicily. C．Hunters try to attract more birds to the area. D．The weather has become more pleasant in the area. 3．Which of the following would Martin Schneider-Jacoby agree with the most? A．There should be more laws to protect baby birds. B．It’s possible that the bird population may continue to fall. C．More countries need to stop hunting to increase the bird population. D．The only way to increase the bird population is to allow limited hunting. 4．The passage is mainly about ________. A．several problems caused by migratory birds B．why migratory birds are hunted in the world C．how tourism causes a drop in migratory bird population D．the situation of migratory birds and the efforts to protect them 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了候鸟在迁徙过程中遭到人类猎杀这一情况以及野生动物保护组织对此所采取的应对措施。 1．词义猜测题。根据第二段中“it is not this twice-a-year journey that poses the greatest risk for these animals”可知，对这些动物来说造成的最大的风险并不是这种一年两次的旅行，故此处划线部分意为“造成”，和cause意义相近。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Today, it has mostly eliminated (消除) bird hunting, and as a result, bird-watching is becoming popular there.”可知，如今，它基本上已经取消了鸟类狩猎。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But there is still more to do. We hope to stop hunting and protect birds’ living areas all over the Mediterranean.”可知，他希望停止狩猎，保护整个地中海的鸟类生活区。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了候鸟在迁徙过程中遭到人类猎杀这一情况以及野生动物保护组织对此所采取的应对措施。故选D。 18.（23-24八年级下·江苏南通·期中）Forest bathing began in Japan in the 1980s. It is a practice called shinrin—yoku, which can be translated as “taking in the medicine or air of the forest”. It has recently grown more popular worldwide. When people take time in the natural green world to “be” in a fully present way, studies show it does good to health. One of the good things of taking a walk in nature is getting away from screens. When we enjoy nature, we keep ourselves away from computers or mobile phones. We take a break and allow ourselves to get strength and energy back. During forest bathing, we are slowing down, stopping making quick decisions, experiencing the pleasure of nature through all of our senses, enjoying being alive and enjoying just the present moment. In fact, forest bathing is also becoming a more and more popular way of treating stress (压力). Forest bathing is believed to help those experiencing stressful situations. In one recent study, people who formed the habits of walking through forests had lowered blood pressure (血压) and got out of worries. At the same time bathing in forest air produces more natural killer—NK cells (细胞) in our blood. Our body uses these NK cells to fight illness. One Japanese study showed a rise in the number and activity of these NK cells among people who forest bathe. Plants and trees in forests can also send out something called phytoncides (植物杀菌剂). This tree oil can not only protect plants and trees themselves, but also help people sleep well, lift mood and attention, bring joy and boost health. Forest bathing needs repeated practice. It’s not a one-and-done quick fix. Studies in England on green spaces showed that spending at least 120 minutes a week in nature helps with good health. It doesn’t matter if you break up the two hours into shorter walks in a local park filled with lots of trees or spend an afternoon in a forest. Taking a quick walk through nature and rushing through the activity to get back to work, let’s say, may not be as helpful. Nor is it advised to play loud music as you walk. Forest bathing shows a different way of life. You’re walking through nature in a forest and taking your time. You’re noticing feelings and staring more of a relaxing and meaningful life. 1．According to the passage, during forest bathing people may ________. A．think only of the past moment B．make decisions more quickly C．spend less energy to take exercise D．keep themselves away from worries 2．The underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________. A．risk B．improve C．harm D．offer 3．About forest bathing, the writer might agree that ________. A．people should form a habit of walking in nature B．playing light music while walking can be helpful C．walking for at least 2 hours every time is necessary D．NK cells and phytoncides are both produced in plants 4．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．How can we enjoy forest baths in nature? B．Is it helpful or unhelpful to forest bathe? C．Forest bathing is a great help from nature. D．Forest bathing is a way to change nature. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了森林浴给人们的身心带来好处。 1．细节理解题。根据“In one recent study, people who formed the habits of walking through forests had lowered blood pressure (血压) and got out of worries.”可知，在森林浴期间，人们可以让自己远离烦恼。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据“lift mood and attention”可知，可以提升情绪和注意力，可推测“boost”与“lift”意思相近，可知是“提高”创造力。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“Forest bathing needs repeated practice.

It’s called the Brazilian flea toad (巴西跳蚤蟾蜍). However, here’s the funny thing—it’s not actually a toad or a flea, but a special kind of frog that lives on a few hills in Brazil. Male Brazilian flea toads are only about 7 millimeters long and females (雌性) are about 8 millimeters. One could easily sit on the tip of your finger. Being so small, their bodies look a bit different compared to those of other frogs. While most frogs have five toes on their back legs and four toes on their front legs, these little frogs only have two toes, according to Science News. They also can’t jump like a flea. A study in 2022 found that when they try to jump, they lose their balance (平衡)! They’re just so small that their bodies aren’t good at helping them stay balanced. Scientists believe that there are still many other mini “surprises” waiting to be found out there in the world. And anything smaller than six millimeters long would teach us a lot about how animals’ bodies work. 1．What can we know about the Brazilian flea toad? A．It’s a toad. B．It’s a flea. C．It’s a special kind of frog. D．It is good at jumping. 2．How long are male Brazilian flea toads? A．About 7 millimeters. B．About 8 millimeters. C．About 9 millimeters. D．About 10 millimeters. 3．Why can’t Brazilian flea toads jump like a flea? A．Because they could easily sit on the tip of your finger. B．Because they are so small that their bodies aren’t good at helping them stay balanced. C．Because they live on a few hills in Brazil. D．Because they have fewer toes than other frogs. 4．What’s the best title of the passage? A．A Study in 2022 B．The Tiniest Vertebrate in the World C．Some Facts about Frogs D．Ways to Keep Balanced 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界上最小的脊椎动物——巴西跳蚤蟾蜍。 1．细节理解题。根据“However, here’s the funny thing—it’s not actually a toad or a flea, but a special kind of frog that lives on a few hills in Brazil.”可知，巴西跳蚤蟾蜍实际上不是蟾蜍或跳蚤，而是一种生活在巴西山丘上的特殊青蛙。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Male Brazilian flea toads are only about 7 millimeters long...”可知，雄性巴西跳蚤蟾蜍只有大约7毫米长。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“They also can’t jump like a flea...They’re just so small that their bodies aren’t good at helping them stay balanced.”可知，它们也不能像跳蚤一样跳跃，因为它们太小了，以至于它们的身体不善于帮助它们保持平衡。故选B。 4．标题归纳题。根据全文可知，文章主要介绍了世界上最小的脊椎动物——巴西跳蚤蟾蜍，即世界上最小的脊椎动物。故选B。 20.（23-24八年级下·江苏南通·期中）“You are just like your mother.” This phrase is often said by many. As we grow older, we may notice that we’re getting more like our mother. Yet surprisingly, a new study has found that most people are more similar to (与……相似) their father. A team of scientists from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine in the US found that we inherit (继承) the same number of genes (基因) from mother and father. But we use more of the DNA we inherit from our father. The study helps us to explain who we are in some ways. And more importantly, it helps us to find out whether we are likely to develop diseases (疾病). For example, if we inherit the gene for a disease from our mother, it may not be as strong as if we had inherited it from our father. “We know that there are 95 genes affected (影响) by our parents,” said lead researcher Professor Fernando Pardo-Manuel de Villena. These are called imprinted genes. But now, the study has found that there are thousands of other genes that have come from our parents. For the study, the scientists chose three different kinds of mice with different genes. The mice then gave birth to nine babies each. When they all grew up, the team then check every single gene of their DNA．They found an imbalance that swung toward their father. Villena also said that the recent study was the first to show that mammals (哺乳动物) are more similar to their fathers than mothers. “This is an exceptional new finding that opens the door to a totally new area of study in human genetics. It’s amazing.” he said. 1．Which of the following is true according to the passage? A．All the people are more similar to their fathers. B．Scientists had carried out similar studies before. C．Genes are affected more by fathers than by mothers. D．People inherit more genes from fathers than mothers. 2．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．We are stronger than our father and mother. B．The finding can help us know possible diseases. C．We inherit exactly the same diseases from our parents. D．We don’t inherit the gene of a disease from our mother. 3．What does the underlined word “exceptional” mean in the passage? A．excellent B．easy C．natural D．common 4．What is the best title of the passage? A．How many genes affect us in our life? B．How do the scientists carry out a study? C．Are we more like our mother or father? D．Can our genes change when we grow up? 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了人们的基因来自父母，大多数人像母亲，但是新的研究发现，我们的基因受到父亲的影响比母亲的更多。 1．推理判断题。根据第五段“But we use more of the DNA we inherit from our father.”可知，我们更多地使用从父亲那里遗传的DNA，C选项“基因受父亲的影响比受母亲的影响更大”符合文意，故选C。 2．主旨大意题。根据“it helps us to find out whether we are likely to develop diseases”可知本段主要介绍了这能帮我们弄清楚我们是否有可能患病，故选B。 3．词义猜测题。根据“new finding that opens the door to a totally new area of study in human genetics”可知，这是一个能打开人类遗传学研究的全新领域大门的新发现，A选项“杰出的”符合文意，故选A。 4．最佳标题题。根据第一段“As we grow older, we may notice that we’re getting more like our mother. Yet surprisingly, a new study has found that most people are more similar to their father.”可知，本文主要讲述了人们的基因来自父母，大多数人像母亲，但是新的研究发现，我们的基因受到父亲的影响比母亲的更多，C选项“我们更像父亲还是母亲？”符合题意，故选C。 21.（23-24八年级下·江苏连云港·期中）Football is popular all over the world. Even long ago, it was played in many different countries. About two thousand three hundred years ago, Chinese soldiers exercised by kicking a ball around. Even then they tried to kick the ball into a net. People believe that was the earliest football game. Scoring a goal was important in the past and it still is! Now there are eleven people on each team. In the past all football players were men but now women also play football. Teams have not always had just eleven players. When the ancient (古代的) Romans played the game, they had twenty-seven men on each team. When the game was played in villages in England five hundred years ago, every man in the village played and the game lasted all day and all night! Now the game only lasts for ninety minutes. Some rules for football were written in England in 1815, but these rules said that players could carry the ball. New rules were made later. These rules said that you cannot use your hands if you aren’t the goalkeeper (守门员). The first international match using the modern rules was played between Scotland and England in 1872. Football can be fast and exciting even today, but it is a much safer game now than it was in the past. One thousand years ago, people were allowed to punch (拳打), kick and bite each other during the game. If you do any of these things today, you will get the red card and have to leave the game. The first football competition in the world was the English Football Association Cup. When it started, there were only twelve teams in the competition. Now there are teams all over the world and we have the World Cup every four years. 1．Which country is the first one to play “football”? A．Roman. B．England. C．China. D．Japan. 2．How does the writer introduce different rules of football games? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving examples. C．By asking questions. D．By showing pictures. 3．What can we know about football games from the passage? A．Every man could play in a game in ancient Roman. B．Both men and women could play football in the past. C．People got a red card if they bit others 1000 years ago. D．Players could carry the ball according to the rules in 1815. 4．Which is the best title for the passage? A．Changes in football. B．Skills of football. C．Meaning of football. D．Culture of football. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了足球的过去与现在的变化。 1．细节理解题。根据“About two thousand three hundred years ago, Chinese soldiers exercised by kicking a ball around. Even then they tried to kick the ball into a net. People believe that was the earliest football game.”可知，最早踢足球的国家是中国。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据“Now there are eleven people on each team. In the past all football players were men but now women also play football. Teams have not always had just eleven players. When the ancient (古代的) Romans played the game, they had twenty-seven men on each team. When the game was played in villages in England five hundred years ago, every man in the village played and the game lasted all day and all night! Now the game only lasts for ninety minutes.”可推知，作者通过举例介绍了足球比赛的不同规则。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“Some rules for football were written in England in 1815, but these rules said that players could carry the ball.”可知，根据1815年的规则，球员可以拿球。故选D。 4．最佳标题题。通读全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了足球的过去与现在的变化。故选A。 22.（23-24八年级下·江苏无锡·期中）Time flies when you play on your smartphone. But when you get down to the real business of work and study, one hour feels like a year. Why are we so attracted (被吸引) by smartphones but easily bored by studying? It all boils down to something small and hard to see: dopamine. Dopamine is a “pleasure chemical (化学物质)” that makes people feel good. Our brains give it out when we eat yummy food, after we exercise or when we get a prize. Compared with studying, playing on smartphones causes our brains to give out more dopamine. For example, checking your phone for a text leads to a 400 percent increase in dopamine. But why? When we visit social media, we don’t know what we’ll see next, or who will give opinions about things we post. This “magic of maybe”, makes the dopamine system active. We get excited wondering if we have messages from our friends. When our expectations are met, dopamine is given out. And to find more dopamine, we continue checking our phones. Studying doesn’t provide such magic. Without this excitement, we get bored much more easily. Can we do something to change that? According to scientists, apps can become less attractive if we turn off notifications (通知) or change the screen colors to black and white. We can also set time limits (设置时间限制) on apps so that we do not overuse them. “As for studying, you could check your progress daily or weekly and reward yourself for it”, said Daniel Wong, writer of The Happy Student, “You could also search for interesting topics connected with your textbook. Use what you’ve learned to make an influence in the real world. This will make knowledge much more interesting to learn”. 1．What might the underlined phrase “boils down to” mean in Paragraph 2? A．results from B．turns out C．leads to D．works out 2．When do people have more dopamine? A．When they know what will happen next. B．When they stay in a familiar environment. C．When they get used to something. D．When their expectations are met. 3．Which statement is TRUE according to the passage? A．We are attracted by smartphones but easily bored by studying. B．Our brains give dopamine out before we exercise or get a prize. C．The “magic of maybe” excites us when we receive messages. D．Apps can become less attractive if we change the sound of notifications. 4．Which of the following might Daniel Wong suggest to make learning interesting? A．Setting time limits on everything you do. B．Using what you learn from textbooks to do things in real life. C．Stopping playing and finding more interests in real life. D．Reading the interesting part in your textbooks before reading the others. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文主要解释了为什么我们对智能手机如此着迷，却很容易对学习感到厌倦。 1．词句猜测题。根据“Why are we so attracted (被吸引) by smartphones but easily bored by studying? It all boils down to something small and hard to see: dopamine.”可知，我们被智能手机吸引却很容易厌倦学习，这一切都归结为一个小而难以看到的东西——多巴胺。故“boils down to”表示“归结于”，与“results from”语义相近。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“When our expectations are met, dopamine is given out.”可知，当我们的期望得到满足时，多巴胺就会被释放出来。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“Why are we so attracted (被吸引) by smartphones but easily bored by studying?”可知，我们被智能手机所吸引，但很容易对学习感到厌倦。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“Use what you’ve learned to make an influence in the real world. This will make knowledge much more interesting to learn”可知，Daniel Wong可能建议把从课本上学到的东西运用到现实生活中去，这样可以让学习变得有趣。故选B。 23.（23-24八年级下·江苏连云港·期中）Are you afraid of lightning? Some people think it scary, but others think it’s exciting. But do you know how it forms (形成)? In fact, lightning is a big flash of electricity (电). It happens more often in the summer than in the winter. That’s because there are more storms in the summer. Sunny weather and hot temperature heat the air and make water evaporate (蒸发). The hot air and water vapor rise into the sky. As they rise, they meet the cold air. The cold air makes the water vapor turn into water drops or ice crystals (晶体). Then they form a cloud. Inside the cloud, the water drops and ice crystals carry a tiny bit of electricity. The electricity continues to be stronger until the lightning forms. Lightning can jump from one cloud to another. It can also move from a cloud to the ground. Sometimes lightning can even move from the ground up to a cloud. Lightning is five times hotter than the sun. Lightning hits the air around it so quickly that the air breaks out. Thunder is a sound we hear when it happens. Light moves faster than sound. This means we see the flash of lightning before we hear the thunder. It takes five seconds for the noise of the thunder to go one mile. If you see lightning and then hear thunder five seconds later, the storm is one mile away. 1．What is the second paragraph mainly about? A．How does a cloud form? B．Why does the air break out? C．Why is lightning hotter than the sun? D．How does lightning heat the air around? 2．Which of the following carries the electricity according to Paragraph 3? ①Water drops. ②Cold air. ③The clouds. ④Ice crystals. A．①③ B．②③ C．①④ D．③④ 3．How long does it take the thunder travel five miles? A．Five seconds. B．Ten seconds. C．Fifteen seconds. D．Twenty-five seconds. 4．Where is the passage from? A．A science magazine. B．A health website. C．A travel guide. D．A weather report. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了闪电的形成过程，以及闪电和雷声的关系。 1．段落大意题。根据“In fact, lightning is a big flash of electricity (电)...Then they form a cloud.”可知，第二段主要介绍了如何形成云，故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“Inside the cloud, the water drops and ice crystals carry a tiny bit of electricity”可知，水滴和冰晶携带电，故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“It takes five seconds for the noise of the thunder to go one mile”可知，雷声传播一英里要5秒，五英里需要25秒，故选D。 4．推理判断题。从文章的内容可以看出，这是一篇科普性质的文章，主要介绍了闪电的形成过程和特性，因此最有可能出自科学杂志，故选A。 24.（23-24八年级下·江苏常州·期中）This winter, Blossoms Shanghai (电视剧《繁花》) has been the talk of the city and beyond. Viewers (观众) all over China have been watching and talking about the TV series. Their strong interest has even brought many fans to the city. They come to walk down Huanghe Road, eat pork chops with rice cakes, and, of course, learn Shanghainese. Blossoms Shanghai has two versions (版本). One is in Mandarin (普通话) and the other is in the Shanghai dialect. Many people like the dialect version better. They say it better shows the magic of the city’s culture. Part of that magic lies in the culture’s openness. Do you know what “lao hu chuang” means? Well, this phrase has nothing to do with “tigers”. It comes from the English term “roof window”. In the Shanghai dialect (方言), “tiger” sounds close to “roof”. Another example is “wo se”. It comes from the word “worse”. People use it to say that they feel sad. English surely isn’t the only influence (影响) on Shanghainese. The local languages of neighboring cities have had influence on it, too. In most schools, students are told to speak only Mandarin to make communication easier. But many students continue speaking it after school. Over time, they forget their “native language”. I recently asked some of my young Shanghainese friends how to say “kitchen” in the Shanghai dialect. Most of them answered, “zi vang”. Few said, “zao pi ge” (灶披间) or “zao dou ge”. Many people are now learning or relearning the Shanghai dialect from Blossoms Shanghai. Would you like to join them? 1．What don’t viewers do after watching Blossoms Shanghai according to the passage? A．Visit Shanghai. B．Learn Shanghainese. C．Eat pork chops with rice cakes. D．Talk about the streets in Shanghai. 2．Paragraph 3 mainly talks about ________. A．the magic of Shanghai dialect B．Shanghai dialect about animals and English C．examples about how English influences Shanghainese D．how the local languages of neighboring cities influence Shanghainese 3．Which of the following is true according to this passage? A．Viewers are most interested in the food in the Blossoms Shanghai. B．All students in Shanghai are told to speak only Mandarin at school. C．Shanghainese have forgotten how to speak dialect these years. D．Blossoms Shanghai in the Shanghai dialect is much more popular. 4．Which of the following may be the purpose (目的) of this passage? A．To attract more people to visit Shanghai. B．To introduce the TV series called Blossoms Shanghai. C．To ask people to speak only Mandarin at school. D．To wish people to speak both dialect and Mandarin. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文通过电视剧《繁花》的爆火引起人们对上海话的兴趣，从而鼓励人们既说方言又说普通话。 1．细节理解题。根据文中第一段“They come to walk down Huanghe Road, eat pork chops with rice cakes, and, of course, learn Shanghainese.”可知，观众看完《繁花》后参观上海，学上海话，吃排骨配年糕，没有谈论上海的街道。故选D。 2．主旨大意题。根据文中第三段“Do you know what ‘lao hu chuang’ means? ... English surely isn’t the only influence (影响) on Shanghainese.”可知，第3段主要讲的是英语如何影响上海话的例子。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据文中第二段“Many people like the dialect version better.”可知，上海方言的《繁花》更受欢迎。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据文中最后一段“Many people are now learning or relearning the Shanghai dialect from Blossoms Shanghai. Would you like to join them?”可知，这篇文章的目的是希望人们既能说方言又能说普通话。故选D。 25.（23-24八年级下·江苏扬州·期中）Nature is amazing! Take a close look at the world of insects (昆虫), you’ll discover many unbelievable things. Butterflies, for example. They have beautiful, colorful wings, and strong, fantastic flying skills. On summer days, you always see them flying freely over flower gardens and wild fields. But, did you know how butterflies become the flying insects? It’s one of the amazing wonders of nature. In the beginning, female butterflies lay a small and colorful egg on a leaf or stem (茎) of a plant. It’s hard to believe that the egg will become something completely different in a few days. It becomes a walking insect. This insect is called caterpillar. It now has legs, eyes and a large body. A new life has begun. The caterpillar can eat, walk and see. But it is still not a butterfly. Soon, after growing big, the caterpillar makes a cover for itself. It covers itself in the nice protective blanket (保护层) and goes to sleep. This stage is known as the “pupa (蛹)” stage. After a period of time, the blanket breaks and a wet, weak butterfly appears. It now has six legs, a mouth, eyes and wings. Shortly, the wings fill with blood, and the beautiful, colorful butterfly spreads its wings and flies away. After a few weeks, this adult butterfly lays her eggs, and the cycle begins all over again. This is just one example of the wonders of nature. Look around the natural world, and you will learn many truly amazing things. 1．What is NOT mentioned (提及) in Paragraph 1? A．Butterflies are a kind of insect. B．Butterflies are good at flying. C．Butterflies have colorful wings. D．Butterflies have a good sense of smell. 2．What does the underlined word “caterpillar” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese? A．幼虫 B．雏鸟 C．飞蛾 D．蝴蝶 3．What is the right order of the development process (发育过程) of a butterfly? ① It becomes a pupa.                   ②It becomes a walking insect. ③Female butterflies lay an egg.        ④It spreads wings and flies away. A．①→②→③→④ B．①→②→④→③ C．③→②→①→④ D．③→②→④→① 4．Which of the following best describes a butterfly after the blanket breaks? A．It has legs, eyes and a large body. B．It has six legs, a mouth, eyes and wings C．It has legs, eyes and a mouth. D．It has legs, eyes, a mouth and a large body. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文主要讲了蝴蝶生命中的四个阶段。 1．细节理解题。根据“Take a close look at the world of insects (昆虫)…Butterflies, for example. They have beautiful, colorful wings, and strong, fantastic flying skills.”可知，第一段并没有提到蝴蝶有很好的嗅觉。故选D。 2．词义猜测题。根据“This insect is called caterpillar. It now has legs, eyes and a large body.”可知，后文提到了会爬行的昆虫，有腿，眼睛和身体，因此划线词指的是“幼虫”。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“In the beginning, female butterflies lay a small and colorful egg on a leaf or stem (茎) of a plant.”；“It becomes a walking insect. This insect is called caterpillar.”；“This stage is known as the ‘pupa (蛹)’ stage.”以及“After a period of time, the blanket breaks and a wet, weak butterfly appears.”可知，蝴蝶经历的阶段依次是：雌蝴蝶产卵、变成了会爬行的毛毛虫、变成了蛹以及最后变成了蝴蝶，选项C中的顺序符合题意。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“After a period of time, the blanket breaks and a wet, weak butterfly appears.”可知，蝴蝶有六条腿，一张嘴，眼睛和翅膀。故选B。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
