When Arsh turned 8, he received a watercolor paint set as a birthday gift. He spent all his spare time painting. That’s how he started painting. Around the same time, Arsh often visited a local nursing home, where his mother works. Spending time there inspired him to start selling his art for a good cause. “I want to help people in need through my paintings,” he said. So he started his fundraising program,which he called “Art by Arsh.” He sells his paintings at local art shows, restaurants and libraries, as well as on his Instagram account and Facebook page. He donated his first $1,000 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in 2018, and has since reached various other charities. Arsh, now 12, mostly makes commissioned (委托创作的) pieces, and several of his customers have come back wanting more. That includes his neighbor, Jolene Schaver, who has five of Arsh’s creations hanging in her home and has bought many more for friends and family. “I was amazed at how talented he was at such a young age, without any formal training,” said Schaver. Along with selling his paintings to benefit nonprofit organizations, Arsh now also teaches art lessons at the local nursing home. And he thought about accessibility (易得到), and realized not all people have the resources (资源) to make art—which has the ability to comfort and heal (治愈). “One of my goals is to make art accessible for kids who want to express themselves,” Arsh said. He offered free art lessons to local children to achieve his goal. He hopes to expand (扩展) his classes further in the future. 37. What birthday gift did Arsh receive when he turned 8? _____________________________________________________________________ 38. Why did he start Art by Arsh? _____________________________________________________________________ 39. How does Arsh make art accessible for kids? _____________________________________________________________________ 40. What do you think of Arsh? Why do you think so?

He may say that he doesn’t care, and even act in ways that are the opposite of cool on purpose (故意的). But these are simply ways to deal with sadness by pretending (假装) it’s nothing. Helping a child like this has to be done carefully, because the child may be guided in a wrong way. If you say “Why are you worried about what other children think about you? It doesn’t matter!”, children know that it does matter. Instead, an active way may be best. You could say, “I’m going to do a couple of things to help make school feel better for you.” If a child is having trouble making friends, it helps most if he/she can be in a school and in a class. The teacher can give him/her chances to use his/her abilities to be helpful to class projects. This is how the other children learn to value his good qualities (品质) and to like him. A teacher can also raise a child’s popularity in the group by showing that he/she values that child. It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child, or to let him be a partner with that child in activities. There are things that the parents can do at home, too. Be friendly when your child brings others home to play. Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes that they consider “super”. When you plan weekend trips, picnics, movies, and other shows, invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends. What you can do after is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out. Then, if he has good qualities, he can start to build real friendships of his own. 28. What may a child do when he or she has been told “uncool”? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 29. Why should people be careful when it comes to helping a child? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 30. How can a teacher lead the other children to value good qualities of an unpopular child? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 31.Who can parents invite when they plan family activities like weekend trips? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 32. What’s the passage mainly about? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】28. He or she may do something uncool on purpose. 29. Because the child may be guided in a wrong way. 30. By giving him/her chances to use his/her abilities to be helpful to class projects. 31. Another child with whom their child wants to be friends. 32. The passage is mainly about why it is important to help an unpopular child and how he/she can be helped to get on well with others. 【导语】本文主要讲述了为什么帮助不受欢迎的孩子很重要以及如何帮助他们和同学友好相处。 【28题详解】 根据“When a child has been told he is “uncool”, it can be very painful. He may say that he doesn’t care, and even act in ways that are the opposite of cool on purpose (故意的). ”可知如果一个孩子被告知他“不受欢迎”，他或她可能会故意做不受欢迎的事情。故答案为：He or she may do something uncool on purpose. 【29题详解】 根据“Helping a child like this has to be done carefully, because the child may be guided in a wrong way.”可知帮助这样的孩子必须要小心，是因为这个孩子可能会被误导。故答案为：Because the child may be guided in a wrong way. 【30题详解】 根据“The teacher can give him/her chances to use his/her abilities to be helpful to class projects . This is how the other children learn to value his good qualities (品质) and to like him.”可知老师可以通过给他/她机会来用他的/她的能力来帮助课程项目这样的方法，来引导其他孩子珍视不受欢迎的孩子身上的好品质。故答案为：By giving him/her chances to use his/her abilities to be helpful to class projects. 【31题详解】 根据“When you plan weekend trips, picnics, movies, and other shows, invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.”可知父母在计划像周末旅行这样的家庭活动时可以邀请上他们的孩子想和做朋友的小孩。故答案为：Another child with whom their child wants to be friends. 【32题详解】 通读全文可知本文主要讲述了为什么帮助不受欢迎的孩子很重要以及如何帮助他们和同学友好相处。故答案为：The passage is mainly about why it is important to help an unpopular child and how he/she can be helped to get on well with others. 北京十四中2023—2024学年度第二学期 期中检测 初二英语测试卷 六、阅读表达（49-51每小题2分，52小题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 17-Year-Old Is Youngest to Fly Around the World On August 24, 17-year-old Mack Rutherford landed his microlight airplane safely back in Bulgaria, completing a five-month effort to fly around the world. He has now set the record as the youngest person to fly around the world alone. Mack’s flight began in Bulgaria, where he took off on March 23. He was 16 at the time, but celebrated his birthday during his trip around the world. He flew in a small, two-seater microlight airplane, able to fly at speeds of about 186 mph (300 kph). One of the plane’s seats was replaced with an extra gas tank (油箱), which allowed Mack to cover longer distances. The plane also had satellite communications that let Mack stay in touch with people on the ground. Mack’s route took him over Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America. He visited 30 countries in all, covered 33,630 miles. Though Mack expected his trip to take two to three months, he had to change his ideas. In some places, he had to wait long for getting permission (批准) to fly. Other problems required major changes to his flight plan. Mack also faced lots of other challenges, many of them related to extreme weather. In Sudan, Mack had to deal with sandstorms. He had to fly through heavy rain in India, and ended up with water in his gas tanks. He said crossing the Pacific Ocean was the most difficult part of the trip. After a 10-hour flight from Japan, he had to land—just as it was getting dark—on an island with no one else on it. He spent the night in the open air. In spite of all the difficult times, Mack described the trip as “amazing”. Now Mack has set the record for the youngest person to fly around the world alone, beating 18-year-old English pilot, Travis Ludlow, who set the record last year. Mack says he hopes his trip will show young people they can make a difference. “You don’t need to be 18 to do something special. Just follow your dreams and they will eventually come true,” he said. 37. When did Mack land his microlight plane in Bulgaria? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 38. How did Mack keep in touch with people on the ground? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 39. Which part of the trip was the most difficult for Mack? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 40. Do you think Mack is a role model for young people? Why or why not? (State at least two reasons) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】37. On August 24. 38. He kept in touch with people on the ground through satellite communications. 39. Crossing the Pacific Ocean. 40. Yes, I do. Because his trip will show young people they can make a difference, just follow your dreams and they will eventually come true. 【导语】本文介绍麦克乘坐微型轻型飞机的环球之旅，他创造了世界最年轻的单人飞行纪录。 【37题详解】 根据第一段“On August 24, 17-year-old Mack Rutherford landed his microlight airplane safely back in Bulgaria…”可知，麦克于8月24日在保加利亚降落了微型飞机。故填On August 24. 【38题详解】 根据第三段“The plane also had satellite communications that let Mack stay in touch with people on the ground.”可知，他通过卫星通信与地面上的人们保持联系。故填He kept in touch with people on the ground through satellite communications. 【39题详解】 根据第七段“He said crossing the Pacific Ocean was the most difficult part of the trip.”可知，穿越太平洋是这次旅行中最困难的部分。故填Crossing the Pacific Ocean. 【40题详解】 根据文中“Mack历尽辛苦，创造了世界最年轻的单人飞行纪录”可知，他是年轻人的榜样,他的旅行向年轻人展示他们可以有所作为，他的成功告诉人们，只要追随梦想，它们最终会实现。故填Yes, I do. Because his trip will show young people they can make a difference, just follow your dreams and they will eventually come true. 北京一零一中2023-2024学年度第二学期期中 初二英语 八、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分，第51—53题每小题2分，第54题4分） Charlotte Liebling was volunteering at a thrift shop in London, England, in 2016. Thrift shops sell used items like clothes or toys. Often, they donate the money they make to people in need. Liebling noticed that many people dropped off old soft teddy bears, rabbits and other stuffed animals in good condition. Some were sold. But most were thrown away. Liebling loves stuffed animals and she knew these stuffed animals were once special toys for the owners. “I was sad to learn most of them ended up at the garbage,” she said. In 2019, Liebling created a company called Loved Before. It is a soft-toy adoption agency. It cleans up donated stuffies. Then, it resells them online. It charges between 10 to 15 pounds for each stuffed animal. She has donated 50 percent of her profits (利润) to charity. In the past five years, Liebling has collected more than 60,000 stuffies —people can just drop them off at Loved Before’s offices. They can also mail them in. Lauren Sergi donated her collection of stuffed toys to Loved Before. “They deserved better than staying in boxes for decades.” she said. The stuffed animals are cleaned with high-temperature steam. Liebling works on 50 to 100 stuffed animals every day. She gets help from three workers and three volunteers. Each stuffie takes between one and five hours to clean up. Donors (捐赠人) are asked to send a brief story about their stuffed animals. The company uses the information to create a life story for the toys. Sometimes, a stuffie comes in without a story. “We’ll pass them over to a school classroom,” Liebling said. “The children will take them on adventures and write the stories. They help teach children the importance of giving something secondhand a second chance.” Liebling has big hopes for each Loved Before toy. “Our second-chance toys are very valuable. It’s because of the love and adventure they’ve already experienced. I love that we can give them a second chance to be loved. Besides, we contribute to environmental sustainability (可持续性) by reducing the waste and showing a new way of recycling.” 38. What do thrift shops sell? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 39. How can people give the stuffies to Loved Before? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 40. Where will the company pass the stuffies without stories over to? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 41. What do you think of the company Loved Before? Why do you think so? (Give at least 2 reasons) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】38. Used items (like clothes or toys). 39. People can just drop them off at Loved Before’s offices or mail them in./By dropping them off at Loved Before’s offices or mailing them in. 40. A school classroom./School classrooms. 41. I think it’s meaningful/helpful because it makes secondhand toys to be loved again and it also donates 50 percent of the profits to charity. I think it’s educational because it teaches children the importance of giving something secondhand a second chance and it also shows a new way to reduce waste. 【导语】本文主要介绍Charlotte Liebling在英国伦敦的一家旧货店做志愿者的经历。 【38题详解】 根据“Thrift shops sell used items like clothes or toys.”可知，旧货店出售旧物品，如衣服或玩具。故填Used items (like clothes or toys). 【39题详解】 根据“people can just drop them off at Loved Before’s offices. They can also mail them in”可知，人们可以把它们放在Loved Before的办公室，也可以邮寄过来。故填People can just drop them off at Loved Before’s offices or mail them in./By dropping them off at Loved Before’s offices or mailing them in. 【40题详解】 根据“We’ll pass them over to a school classroom”可知，把它们送到学校的教室，故填A school classroom./School classrooms. 【41题详解】 本题属于开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案： I think it’s meaningful/helpful because it makes secondhand toys to be loved again and it also donates 50 percent of the profits to charity. I think it’s educational because it teaches children the importance of giving something secondhand a second chance and it also shows a new way to reduce waste. 2023-2024学年北京二中教育集团八年级（下）期中英语试卷 四、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。（共8分） Traditional Chinese toys are part of the traditional Chinese culture.

The plane also had satellite communications that let Mack stay in touch with people on the ground. Mack’s route took him over Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America. He visited 30 countries in all, covered 33,630 miles. Though Mack expected his trip to take two to three months, he had to change his ideas. In some places, he had to wait long for getting permission (批准) to fly. Other problems required major changes to his flight plan. Mack also faced lots of other challenges, many of them related to extreme weather. In Sudan, Mack had to deal with sandstorms. He had to fly through heavy rain in India, and ended up with water in his gas tanks. He said crossing the Pacific Ocean was the most difficult part of the trip. After a 10-hour flight from Japan, he had to land—just as it was getting dark—on an island with no one else on it. He spent the night in the open air. In spite of all the difficult times, Mack described the trip as “amazing”. Now Mack has set the record for the youngest person to fly around the world alone, beating 18-year-old English pilot, Travis Ludlow, who set the record last year. Mack says he hopes his trip will show young people they can make a difference. “You don’t need to be 18 to do something special. Just follow your dreams and they will eventually come true,” he said. 37.

Thrift shops sell used items like clothes or toys. Often, they donate the money they make to people in need. Liebling noticed that many people dropped off old soft teddy bears, rabbits and other stuffed animals in good condition. Some were sold. But most were thrown away. Liebling loves stuffed animals and she knew these stuffed animals were once special toys for the owners. “I was sad to learn most of them ended up at the garbage,” she said. In 2019, Liebling created a company called Loved Before. It is a soft-toy adoption agency. It cleans up donated stuffies. Then, it resells them online. It charges between 10 to 15 pounds for each stuffed animal. She has donated 50 percent of her profits (利润) to charity. In the past five years, Liebling has collected more than 60,000 stuffies —people can just drop them off at Loved Before’s offices. They can also mail them in. Lauren Sergi donated her collection of stuffed toys to Loved Before. “They deserved better than staying in boxes for decades.” she said. The stuffed animals are cleaned with high-temperature steam. Liebling works on 50 to 100 stuffed animals every day. She gets help from three workers and three volunteers. Each stuffie takes between one and five hours to clean up. Donors (捐赠人) are asked to send a brief story about their stuffed animals. The company uses the information to create a life story for the toys. Sometimes, a stuffie comes in without a story. “We’ll pass them over to a school classroom,” Liebling said. “The children will take them on adventures and write the stories. They help teach children the importance of giving something secondhand a second chance.” Liebling has big hopes for each Loved Before toy. “Our second-chance toys are very valuable. It’s because of the love and adventure they’ve already experienced. I love that we can give them a second chance to be loved. Besides, we contribute to environmental sustainability (可持续性) by reducing the waste and showing a new way of recycling.” 38. What do thrift shops sell? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 39. How can people give the stuffies to Loved Before? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 40.

They make the folk games and sports activities of China rich and colorful. Here is a traditional Chinese toy many children like to play—Chinese shuttlecocks (jianzi). Shuttlecocks kicking has a history of more than 2000 years in China. Since the Han Dynasty, people have been playing shuttlecock kicking. Even now, shuttlecock kicking is still one of the most popular outdoor activities, not only with the children, but also with the old. Shuttlecock kicking can be played by one or a circle of people. Five or six persons may form a small circle, kicking a shuttlecock. There are also people who like playing alone. Even when you play by yourself, you can often attract other people and make them want to come around and watch you play. Making a shuttlecock is quite easy. You just need to find two or three coins with holes, put several feathers in the hole, and then sew down the feathers to the coin with clothes strips. The rule of shuttlecock kicking is also simple: keeping the shuttlecock in the air by using any part of your body except your hands. 33.

Yang teaches pinyin, reading and writing, something that has been most common to her for the past 50 years. The difference is her students are mostly adults. The 73-year-old used to be a Chinese teacher. After retirement (退休), Yang wanted to do something meaningful. The rise of short video platforms (平台) gave her the idea of continuing her teaching online. At first, she offered free pinyin lessons for kids. However, she gradually learned among her fans there are many illiterate (不识字的) adults. So she decided to give lessons online for adults. Yang said she found many illiterate adults develop a sense of shame (羞愧的). They are afraid to go to new places, worried that they couldn’t teach their children. So she added more information in her lessons to meet their needs. “Many illiterate adults didn’t have the chance to go to school when they were young. They are the ones in need of learning words. I wanted to give them a new starting point,” Yang said. Considering that most adult students have to make time to attend the lessons, Yang holds two live-streaming lessons every day starting at 8: 30 am and 8: 30 pm. Now she has nearly 300,000 fans on the short video platform Douyin. Zhang Mei who was born and raised in the countryside is one of them. She had never been to school. She watches Yang’s live-streaming whenever she has spare time. Now she can read Chinese characters with pinyin and she has found a job. Yang always prepares her classes carefully, for the students learning through her videos have their own needs. Yang said she tried her best to find out what ways the students can learn and remember better, and her biggest wish now is to see these students graduate (毕业) from her classes. 34.
