Once upon a time, in a deep forest lived a hard-working and kind-hearted squirrel named Sammy. Sammy was known for his kind and helpful nature. He was always ready to give a hand to anyone in need.

Passage 5
(23-24八下·广东省深圳市福田区外国语学校·期中)
Last September, I visited my hometown and stayed for five weeks. I often got up early and went for walks in a nearby park. The grass had been nicely cut, but the lake remained wild. I saw swans floating quietly in the reeds (芦苇) and ducks flying from a small island covered in plants. On the roof of the old castle, a group of crows gathered. They seemed to be talking about their daily business, just like they had been doing for thousands of years. As I sat down on a park bench (长椅), all the old experiences came flooding back.
Parks are wonderful. Even in big cities, they don’t change much. For me, the unsung heroes of the park are the simple wooden benches. Benches are more than just pieces of wood. They provide a place for like-minded people to sit and talk about the simple things in life. In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives and among the tall buildings, you can find peace to slow down, discover interesting things, and connect with other people.
Young students would do well to take a break from the online world. Next weekend, why not go to a park, sit on a bench, wait for someone to take the seat beside you and start a conversation? You never know who you might meet. It might be a movie star or a famous scientist. But it can be better if it’s just a normal person. You can be an interviewer and find out about him or her. While you are waiting, keep a diary of the people and things you meet. Just remember to leave your electronics at home.

Somehow a few boys ran to the field with their kites, catching everyone’s attention nearby. My mother looked at the messy room. Again she looked out of the window. “Come on, girls! Let’s watch the boys fly kites.” On the way, we me t Mrs. Patrick, laughing in shame as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls.
We played with the boys and watched the kites fly higher and higher. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dance in the wind, and finally brought it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again. Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. At that moment we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty, and children forgot their everyday fights.
The strange thing was that we didn’t mention that day afterward. So I locked the memory up in my heart. Years went on. Then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen, while my daughter was crying “go park, see duck”. “No.” I said. “I have lots of things to do, and when I’m through I’ll be tired”.
My mom, who was visiting us, offered “It’s a warm day with breeze. Do you remember the day we flew kites?” I stopped my work with a rush of memories. Then I told my little girl, “Let’s go! It’s too good a day to miss.”
Another decade passed. I visited the youngest Patrick boy who was badly ill. A smile slipped out from his pale lips, “Do you remember—no, of course you wouldn’t. It probably didn’t have the influence on you as it did on me.” “Remember what?” “The day we flew kites.”

I am a plastic bottle. A week ago, I was on a supermarket shelf. I had a normal life, the same as all my brothers and sisters, other bottles full of water. I felt really happy.

Everyone needs help sometimes. People depend on one another. That’s why communities (社区) have special people. They are ready to lend a helping hand to others in need.

We’re so lucky to have firemen to come to save people and put out the fire. The Jacksons didn’t lose everything because the fire station came so fast.
And what about our police who protect (保护) our families, our homes and important things? The police have helped so many families this past year. They have saved people and pets, and protected our houses and things after the heavy rains.
Think about all the other service workers in this community. We have people cleaning the street and keeping our community sanitary. We have road workers fixing holes in the streets to protect not just us, but our cars! And where would this community be without the teachers in our school and the doctors and nurses in our community hospitals?

People who have pet s often feel calmer (更冷静的) and less lonely than people who don’t have pets. For example, Juliet Locke has a six-year-old cat named Snowball. “Snowball knows when I have a bad day. When I’m sitting in a chair, she’ll run to me and I’ll pet her. She really helps me feel relaxed,” says Juliet. “Pets can help you have a healthy mind.”
Pets can give you a healthy body, too. Dr. R.K.Anderson is a veterinarian (兽医). He started CENSHARE (Center to Study Human/Animal Relationships (关系) and Environments),an organization that researches how pets influence (影响) people. These researchers (研究者) believe that people with pet s are healthier than those without pets. For example, pet owners often have a lower risk (风险) of heart disease. Many pet owners don’t have high blood pressure (高血压), either. If you have a dog, you need to take it for a walk. Taking walks is also good for your heart and brain health.
While most people think of dogs and cats as pets, having birds and fish can also be helpful. In fact, people own many different kinds of pets. Researchers studied the influences of these kinds of animals on their owners’ health. The researchers found that some people actually feel more relaxed and have lower blood pressure by watching fish or by listening to the sounds of birds. These activities make people feel calm.

“No, it’s boring,” Harry said.
Abigail sighed. This was what she had worried about. “Come on, Harry. Please think of something you want to do,” she said to Harry.

Passage 6
(23-24八下·广东省佛山市南海区·期中)
The first man in space was Yuri Gagarin. He flew into space in 1961. His spacecraft was called Vostok 1. Space travel has taught us so much about the universe and changed how we live here on the earth.
The world’s first space travel agency (旅行社) has opened in Britain because more and more people want to travel into outer space.
The agency will arrange everything from planes to hotels for people with prices from $250,000 to $4,791,666.
“Being an astronaut is a childhood dream for so many people. However, it’s quiet a difficult job to get into. Luckily, we can take you into outer space now. So this gives people the chance to experience it for a few weeks,” said the manager of the agency.
The experience will allow people to enjoy zero gravity (重力) and the beauty of the earth from space. People can also see about 16 sunrises and sunsets a day.
When you get into space, some really fun things can happen to your body. On the ground, gravity pulls your spine (脊柱) down. In space, without gravity, you may get a little taller. There are also other changes too. For example, the heart gets smaller and the eyeball gets bigger. Are you ready to try a space travel?

Passage 7
(23-24八下·广东省广州市花都区黄广中学·期中)
Our body language tells the world a lot about us. But can it change the way we see ourselves? The answer is YES.
There were two scientists called Amy Cuddy and Danna Carney. They knew much about body language and did famous researches(研究). According to the result of their researches, body language can change the chemistry of your brains. Some high-power body language can make you become confident. For example, you will feel confident when you hold your heads high or walk with your shoulders back. You will also feel confident when you put your arms out wide as if you win a race. However, some low-power body language can’t make you become confident. There are some examples, such as sitting with your arms close to the body, sitting with your legs together or walking with your heads down.
Why do all these happen? Some scientists think it’s because body language changes the amount of something special in our brains. It’s called hormone (荷尔蒙). One kind of hormone can increase (增加) your confidence. Another kind can increase your stress. But too much stress hormone is bad for learning. It increases the risk of health problems, too. The result of the research is helpful for your study. If you use more high-power body language in your study, you will be brave and confident. So, always believe you can study well, and then you will make great progress in your life.
1.According to the passage, which is NOT high-power body language?
A. B. C. D.
2.Which word has the same meaning as the underlined word “stress” in Paragraph 3?

A.Body language can not change the way we see ourselves.
B.People with stress hormone only have more health problems.
C.Sitting with our arms close to the body can make us confident.
D.Using high-power body language can often help us study better.
Passage 8
(23-24八下·广东省广州市花都区黄广中学·期中)
The word “zhiyin”, which means close friends, comes from the story of Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi in the Warring States Period.
Boya was good at playing the guqin. One day, he was playing music on his way home on the boat. To Boya’s surprise, Ziqi, a woodcutter who happened to pass by, could understand exactly what he wanted to express through his music. After a long talk, they became good friends. Since Boya had to return to his state, they agreed to meet again in the following year.
Unfortunately, when getting back to visit Ziqi, Boya heard that his friend had died from a disease (疾病). Boya was so sad and in front of Ziqi’s tomb (墓), he played again the music he had played when they first met. The feeling of the music was so strong that it was as if the rivers and the mountains were crying. When finishing playing, Boya broke his guqin into pieces. From then on, Boya never played again.
People in the Song Dynasty built the Guqin Tai in Hanyang to the memory of the deep friendship between Boya and Ziqi. It became an important part of the local culture.
Zhiyin culture has new development in the new period. The famous ancient Chinese classical (古典的) music piece Gaoshan Liushui was performed during the G20 Summit in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province in 2016.

Passage 9
(23-24八下·广东省深圳市龙岗区德琳学校·期中)
With its special features (特征), shadow puppetry, an ancient form of storytelling that came from ancient China more than 2,000 years ago, still enjoys popularity today.
Just like many species (物种、种类) on Earth that are in danger, traditional arts also face the danger of disappearing. “Many young people still have the impression that shadow puppetry is some kind of old fashioned fork art,” said Liu Chaokan, the sixth-generation of shadow puppetry in Liujiazhai, Yunnan. Before deciding to carry the torch (火把、火炬) of Liujiazhai shadow puppetry, his family had operated it for more than two centuries, Liu was practising shooting as a student athlete (运动员) in college. Some couldn’t understand why he later chose to work on an “old and unattractive” art. Liu understands why some old art forms couldn’t be popular with the young, so he has decided to combine (结合) new stories with the traditional form of storytelling.
In a recent show “Journey to the West”, Baigujing (白骨精) dances to the Korean pop hit “Gangnam Style”. Popular Chinese cartoon characters, together with their modern characters, are Liu’s secret in attracting the attention of Children. “Since they couldn’t understand those old stories, why couldn’t we show them in shadow puppetry shows?” said Liu.
Short video sharing platforms like Tik Tok have also been Liu’s new tool to spread shadow puppetry. A short video of the show can easily get thousands of likes on the platform. To keep the old art forever young, Liu believes puppeteers should also respect its traditions. “You can not shake the roots of the art,” Liu said. “Keeping its traditions and searching for changes are also important.”

A.Because he did not do well in it.
B.Because he was tired of it.
C.Because his family needs him.
D.Because he wanted to work on shadow puppetry.
4.What is Liu’s secret in attracting children?
A.By giving children candies.
B.By dressing in special clothes.
C.By showing the old story with new elements.
D.By creating new stories.
5.Where can we probably find the passage?

Scientists studied the information of 6, 550 people over 40 years old for 18 years. Those people had no history of heart disease. 59% of them ate breakfast every day. 25% missed breakfast a few days. 10.9% hardly ate breakfast and 5.1% never did. The scientists found a clear relation between breakfast habits and the danger of getting heart disease. Those who didn’t eat in the morning were up to 87% more likely to have heart disease.
Breakfast is an essential meal of the day, but a lot of people didn’t have it over the past 50 years in the US. 23.8% of young people don’t have breakfast every day.

Passage 15
(23-24八下·广东省广州市越秀区执信中学·期中)
ChatGPT is back in the headlines. Open AI, the company behind the popular chatbot has now introduced a powerful new language model: GPT-4.
On March 14, GPT-4 showed the world how smarter it is than the previous GPT-3.5. One of its best new features is that it can understand pictures. For example, if you show a picture of a phone using the wrong charger, GPT-4 can tell why the picture looks strange or funny.
But GPT-4’s developments don’t stop there. The new language model can code classic games like Tetris (俄罗斯方块) in a matter of minutes, and produce the code and layout (布局) for a website based on a handmade drawing. It can also change the tone and style based on what you ask it to do. GPT-4 is much better than the older GPT at passing tests, which may worry teachers. According to CNN, GPT-4 did really well on a law school test, with a score in the top 10 percent of test takers. But GPT-3.5 only got a score in the bottom 10 percent.
GPT-4 will also see greater use as a tool to power other apps and services. For example, the language learning app Duolingo plans to use GPT-4 in their upcoming version, Duolingo Max. Users can learn language by talking with AI. Another app, Be My Eyes, will have a digital assistant to help blind people better understand the world around them. The government of Iceland also plans to use GPT-4 to protect the Icelandic language.
There are still problems with the new language model, however. GPT-4 struggles to get completely correct answers, especially with newer information after September 2021. GPT-4 also sometimes “hallucinates”, meaning that it will insist that wrong information is true.
1.What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A.GPT-4 can create funny pictures. B.GPT-4 can tell if a phone is recharging.
C.GPT-3.5 cannot understand pictures. D.GPT-4 cannot respond faster than GPT-3.5.
2.Which of the following abilities of GPT-4 are mentioned?
①understanding pictures ②coding classic games
③producing the layout for a website ④changing the tone and style
⑤getting completely correct answers ⑥powering other apps and services
A.①②③④⑤ B.①②④⑤⑥ C.①②③⑤⑥ D.①②③④⑥
3.According to the text, what is true about GPT-4?
A.GPT-4 can beat 90% of human test takers in all tests.
B.GPT-4 is less preferred by apps and services.
C.GPT-4 sometimes is unable to decide whether the information is true or not.
D.GPT-4 couldn’t get correct answers before Sept 2021.
4.Where is this text most likely from?
A.A technology newspaper. B.A science fiction.
C.A computer guidebook. D.A fashion magazine.

Once upon a time, in a deep forest lived a hard-working and kind-hearted squirrel named Sammy. Sammy was known for his kind and helpful nature. He was always ready to give a hand to anyone in need.
One sunny morning, Sammy was busy collecting nuts for the winter. Suddenly, he heard a strange noise coming from a nearby bush. Hoping to find out what was happening, he got near the bush and looked inside. There, he found a little bird with a broken wing, struggling to fly.
Sammy felt sorry for the bird and quickly chose to help. He carefully carried the bird back to his comfortable tree hole and tried to cure its wing with leaves and soft grass. Day after day, Sammy gave the bird food and cared for it until its wing got better. As the weeks passed, the bird’s wing grew stronger, and it was finally able to fly again. The bird thanked Sammy cheerfully and promised to help him in return whenever he needed it.
Not long after, a terrible storm attacked the forest, and Sammy’s tree hole was blocked by fallen branches. Sammy was caught and he didn’t know what to do. Just then, the bird flew by and saw Sammy’s predicament. It quickly flew to the nearby animals and asked for help.
It took the animals quite a long time to, together, clear the branches and free Sammy from the hole. Sammy felt so thankful and found that his kindness had come back to him in the most surprising way.

Passage 5
(23-24八下·广东省深圳市福田区外国语学校·期中)
Last September, I visited my hometown and stayed for five weeks. I often got up early and went for walks in a nearby park. The grass had been nicely cut, but the lake remained wild. I saw swans floating quietly in the reeds (芦苇) and ducks flying from a small island covered in plants. On the roof of the old castle, a group of crows gathered. They seemed to be talking about their daily business, just like they had been doing for thousands of years. As I sat down on a park bench (长椅), all the old experiences came flooding back.
Parks are wonderful. Even in big cities, they don’t change much. For me, the unsung heroes of the park are the simple wooden benches. Benches are more than just pieces of wood. They provide a place for like-minded people to sit and talk about the simple things in life. In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives and among the tall buildings, you can find peace to slow down, discover interesting things, and connect with other people.
Young students would do well to take a break from the online world. Next weekend, why not go to a park, sit on a bench, wait for someone to take the seat beside you and start a conversation? You never know who you might meet. It might be a movie star or a famous scientist. But it can be better if it’s just a normal person. You can be an interviewer and find out about him or her. While you are waiting, keep a diary of the people and things you meet. Just remember to leave your electronics at home.
1.How does the writer introduce the topic?
A.By presenting facts. B.By giving examples.
C.By describing feelings. D.By telling a personal story.
2.How might the writer feel when sitting in the park?
A.Worried. B.Peaceful. C.Cheerful. D.Disappointed.
3.What does the underlined phrase “hustle and bustle” probably mean?
A.Pain and stress. B.Beauty and Enjoyment.
C.Rush and noise. D.Comfort and relaxation.
4.What should we do on a bench in the park?
A.Chat with famous people only. B.Remember to bring our phones.
C.Note down wonderful meetings. D.Take photos with normal people.
5.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The role of benches in the park. B.Different ways of meeting people.
C.Students’ dependence on the internet. D.The writer’s journey to the hometown.
1.D 2.B 3.C 4.C 5.A

Passage 8
(23-24八下·广东省广州市越秀区执信中学·期中)
It was a busy Saturday as usual, for “six days shall you work and finish all your work” was taken seriously back then. Outside, my father and Mr. Patrick were preparing firewood. Inside their own houses, my mother and Mrs. Patrick were busy with spring cleaning.
Somehow a few boys ran to the field with their kites, catching everyone’s attention nearby. My mother looked at the messy room. Again she looked out of the window. “Come on, girls! Let’s watch the boys fly kites.” On the way, we me t Mrs. Patrick, laughing in shame as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls.
We played with the boys and watched the kites fly higher and higher. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dance in the wind, and finally brought it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again. Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. At that moment we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty, and children forgot their everyday fights.
The strange thing was that we didn’t mention that day afterward. So I locked the memory up in my heart. Years went on. Then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen, while my daughter was crying “go park, see duck”. “No.” I said. “I have lots of things to do, and when I’m through I’ll be tired”.
My mom, who was visiting us, offered “It’s a warm day with breeze. Do you remember the day we flew kites?” I stopped my work with a rush of memories. Then I told my little girl, “Let’s go! It’s too good a day to miss.”
Another decade passed. I visited the youngest Patrick boy who was badly ill. A smile slipped out from his pale lips, “Do you remember—no, of course you wouldn’t. It probably didn’t have the influence on you as it did on me.” “Remember what?” “The day we flew kites.”
1.Mrs. Patrick was laughing in shame, because she thought ________.
A.she was too old to fly kite B.her girls could fly kites well
C.her husband would made fun of her D.she should do housework instead of playing
2.The underlined sentence “we were all beside ourselves” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.

3.The writer decided to take her daughter to the park after she ________.
A.thought of the day she flew kites B.realized her job as a mother
C.made sure the weather was fine D.finished all the housework
4.The writer tells the story of the youngest Patrick boy to show that ________.
A.a light heart lives long B.people treasure happy memories
C.life is full of ups and downs D.childhood friendship lasts forever
1.D 2.D 3.A 4.B
【导语】本文回顾了作者儿时放风筝的经历,讲述了童年的美好生活对成年生活的深刻影响。
1.推理判断题。根据“Inside their own houses, my mother and Mrs. Patrick were busy with spring cleaning...On the way, we met Mrs. Patrick, laughing in shame as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls.”可知,原本帕特里克太太正在忙着大扫除,可是作者她们竟然在路上看到了帕特里克太太,她羞愧地笑了,好像做错了什么事情似的,由此可推知,帕特里克太太之所以羞愧地笑,是因为她觉得她应该在做家务,而不是出去玩。故选D。
2.词句猜测题。根据“At that moment we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty, and children forgot their everyday fights.”可知,父母忘记了他们的责任,孩子们忘记了他们的日常争吵,可见所有人都玩得非常开心。划线句子“we were all beside ourselves”意为“我们欣喜若狂”,与“we went wild with joy”近义。故选D。
3.推理判断题。根据“My mom, who was visiting us, offered ‘It’s a warm day with breeze. Do you remember the day we flew kites?’ I stopped my work with a rush of memories. Then I told my little girl, ‘Let’s go! It’s too good a day to miss.’”可知,作者之所以决定带女儿出去玩,是因为她回想起了小时候去放风筝的快乐。故选A。
4.推理判断题。根据“Another decade passed. I visited the youngest Patrick boy who was badly ill. A smile slipped out from his pale lips, ‘Do you remember—no, of course you wouldn’t.

Early the next morning, a man took me out of the dustbin. He threw me and the other rubbish into the back of a truck. There were so many horrible smells. Then I was pushed together with the rest of the rubbish. Soon I was completely flat. I cannot believe how thin I became.
I slept for a while. When I woke up, I found myself in a terrible place. Everything around me was ugly and had horrible smells. I felt afraid. I kept hoping that I would be moved somewhere else. Then huge trucks came and covered us with a layer of soil.

Passage 10
(23-24八下·广东省·期中)
Everyone needs help sometimes. People depend on one another. That’s why communities (社区) have special people. They are ready to lend a helping hand to others in need.
For example, what would we do without a community fire station? If a home catches fire, as the Jackson place did last week, it might be burned down (被烧毁) and people get hurt. We’re so lucky to have firemen to come to save people and put out the fire. The Jacksons didn’t lose everything because the fire station came so fast.
And what about our police who protect (保护) our families, our homes and important things? The police have helped so many families this past year. They have saved people and pets, and protected our houses and things after the heavy rains.
Think about all the other service workers in this community. We have people cleaning the street and keeping our community sanitary. We have road workers fixing holes in the streets to protect not just us, but our cars! And where would this community be without the teachers in our school and the doctors and nurses in our community hospitals?
We get a lot from all these people and they keep our community running. We need these people in the community. We depend on each other. Let’s support (支持) each other and help each other. Only in this way can we make our community a better place.
1.What happened to the Jacksons last week?
A.Their pets were lost. B.Their cars was badly burned.
C.Their house caught fire. D.Their things were stolen.
2.What does the underlined word “sanitary” mean?

A.The fire station came so fast that the Jacksons didn’t lose everything.

Passage 4
(23-24八下·广东省广州市白云区·期中)
Do you sometimes feel lonely? Are you sometimes under great pressure (压力)? Do you sometimes feel sick? If your answers to these questions are “Yes”, you might not need a doctor. Instead, you might just need a pet. Pets, like dogs, cats, or even birds, can make you feel better. In fact, many people feel healthy when they have a pet to take care of.
People who have pet s often feel calmer (更冷静的) and less lonely than people who don’t have pets. For example, Juliet Locke has a six-year-old cat named Snowball. “Snowball knows when I have a bad day. When I’m sitting in a chair, she’ll run to me and I’ll pet her. She really helps me feel relaxed,” says Juliet. “Pets can help you have a healthy mind.”
Pets can give you a healthy body, too. Dr. R.K.Anderson is a veterinarian (兽医). He started CENSHARE (Center to Study Human/Animal Relationships (关系) and Environments),an organization that researches how pets influence (影响) people. These researchers (研究者) believe that people with pet s are healthier than those without pets. For example, pet owners often have a lower risk (风险) of heart disease. Many pet owners don’t have high blood pressure (高血压), either. If you have a dog, you need to take it for a walk. Taking walks is also good for your heart and brain health.
While most people think of dogs and cats as pets, having birds and fish can also be helpful. In fact, people own many different kinds of pets. Researchers studied the influences of these kinds of animals on their owners’ health. The researchers found that some people actually feel more relaxed and have lower blood pressure by watching fish or by listening to the sounds of birds. These activities make people feel calm.

B.Pets can keep people away from bad feelings.

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

B.A dog can be more helpful to people than a cat.
C.A person will probably get relaxed if he keeps a pet.
D.Watching fish can make some people’s blood pressure rise.

Passage 7
(23-24八下·广东省广州市花都区黄广中学·期中)
Our body language tells the world a lot about us. But can it change the way we see ourselves? The answer is YES.
There were two scientists called Amy Cuddy and Danna Carney. They knew much about body language and did famous researches(研究). According to the result of their researches, body language can change the chemistry of your brains. Some high-power body language can make you become confident. For example, you will feel confident when you hold your heads high or walk with your shoulders back. You will also feel confident when you put your arms out wide as if you win a race. However, some low-power body language can’t make you become confident. There are some examples, such as sitting with your arms close to the body, sitting with your legs together or walking with your heads down.
Why do all these happen? Some scientists think it’s because body language changes the amount of something special in our brains. It’s called hormone (荷尔蒙). One kind of hormone can increase (增加) your confidence. Another kind can increase your stress. But too much stress hormone is bad for learning. It increases the risk of health problems, too. The result of the research is helpful for your study. If you use more high-power body language in your study, you will be brave and confident. So, always believe you can study well, and then you will make great progress in your life.
1.According to the passage, which is NOT high-power body language?
A. B. C. D.
2.Which word has the same meaning as the underlined word “stress” in Paragraph 3?
A.worry B.spirit C.thought D.warning
3.What can we learn from this passage?
A.Body language can not change the way we see ourselves.
B.People with stress hormone only have more health problems.
C.Sitting with our arms close to the body can make us confident.
D.Using high-power body language can often help us study better.
1.D 2.A 3.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐明肢体语言能改变我们看待自己的方式。
1.细节理解题。根据“However, some low-power body language can’t make you become confident. There are some examples, such as ... walking with your heads down.”可知低头走路是低能量肢体语言。故选D。
2.词义猜测题。根据“Another kind can increase your stress. But too much stress hormone is bad for learning. It increases the risk of health problems, too”可知太多的stress荷尔蒙对学习不好,也会增加健康风险。所以猜测应是与worry“压力,担忧”同义,故选A。
3.细节理解题。根据“The result of the research is helpful for your study. If you use more high-power body language in your study, you will be brave and confident.”可知在学习中更多地使用高能量肢体语言有助于学习。故选D。
Passage 8
(23-24八下·广东省广州市花都区黄广中学·期中)
The word “zhiyin”, which means close friends, comes from the story of Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi in the Warring States Period.
Boya was good at playing the guqin. One day, he was playing music on his way home on the boat. To Boya’s surprise, Ziqi, a woodcutter who happened to pass by, could understand exactly what he wanted to express through his music. After a long talk, they became good friends. Since Boya had to return to his state, they agreed to meet again in the following year.
Unfortunately, when getting back to visit Ziqi, Boya heard that his friend had died from a disease (疾病). Boya was so sad and in front of Ziqi’s tomb (墓), he played again the music he had played when they first met. The feeling of the music was so strong that it was as if the rivers and the mountains were crying. When finishing playing, Boya broke his guqin into pieces. From then on, Boya never played again.
People in the Song Dynasty built the Guqin Tai in Hanyang to the memory of the deep friendship between Boya and Ziqi. It became an important part of the local culture.
Zhiyin culture has new development in the new period. The famous ancient Chinese classical (古典的) music piece Gaoshan Liushui was performed during the G20 Summit in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province in 2016.

Passage 9
(23-24八下·广东省深圳市龙岗区德琳学校·期中)
With its special features (特征), shadow puppetry, an ancient form of storytelling that came from ancient China more than 2,000 years ago, still enjoys popularity today.
Just like many species (物种、种类) on Earth that are in danger, traditional arts also face the danger of disappearing. “Many young people still have the impression that shadow puppetry is some kind of old fashioned fork art,” said Liu Chaokan, the sixth-generation of shadow puppetry in Liujiazhai, Yunnan. Before deciding to carry the torch (火把、火炬) of Liujiazhai shadow puppetry, his family had operated it for more than two centuries, Liu was practising shooting as a student athlete (运动员) in college. Some couldn’t understand why he later chose to work on an “old and unattractive” art. Liu understands why some old art forms couldn’t be popular with the young, so he has decided to combine (结合) new stories with the traditional form of storytelling.
In a recent show “Journey to the West”, Baigujing (白骨精) dances to the Korean pop hit “Gangnam Style”. Popular Chinese cartoon characters, together with their modern characters, are Liu’s secret in attracting the attention of Children. “Since they couldn’t understand those old stories, why couldn’t we show them in shadow puppetry shows?” said Liu.
Short video sharing platforms like Tik Tok have also been Liu’s new tool to spread shadow puppetry. A short video of the show can easily get thousands of likes on the platform. To keep the old art forever young, Liu believes puppeteers should also respect its traditions. “You can not shake the roots of the art,” Liu said. “Keeping its traditions and searching for changes are also important.”
1.How old is the shadow puppetry?
A.More than 2000 years old. B.Less than 2000 years old.
C.More than 1000 years old. D.Less than 1000 years old.
2.What do many young people think of the shadow puppetry?
A.It is modern. B.It is attractive. C.It is out of fashion. D.It is amazing.
3.Why did Liu Chaokan give up being a shooting athlete in college?
A.Because he did not do well in it.
B.Because he was tired of it.
C.Because his family needs him.
D.Because he wanted to work on shadow puppetry.
4.What is Liu’s secret in attracting children?
A.By giving children candies.
B.By dressing in special clothes.
C.By showing the old story with new elements.
D.By creating new stories.
5.Where can we probably find the passage?
A.In a newspaper. B.In a poster (海报).
C.In a magazine. D.In a storybook.
1.A 2.C 3.D 4.C 5.C

Passage 11

There are many ways to help improve your health, such as eating healthy food, taking exercise and getting medical help. But the easiest and cheapest way to improve your health is just to sleep for eight hours or more every night.
The problem with sleep is that more and more people in the world are not sleeping enough. According to the World Health Organization, over half the people in the world may be sleep deprived.
Why are so many people sleep deprived? In fact, people who sleep a lot are usually seen as “lazy”. Also, you can sometimes hear some people say proudly that they don't have much time to sleep, and they only sleep for four or five hours a night.
How can we make these people know the value (价值) of sleep? Perhaps they may take the advice of a sleep expert (专家). He says, “Sleep is like a credit (信用) card. When you sleep less, you are only borrowing time.”
For those who value work more than sleep, they should listen to what a famous person once said, “Don’t think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the night. That is a foolish (愚蠢的) idea. In fact, you will be able to do more. ”

Passage 15
(23-24八下·广东省广州市越秀区执信中学·期中)
ChatGPT is back in the headlines. Open AI, the company behind the popular chatbot has now introduced a powerful new language model: GPT-4.
On March 14, GPT-4 showed the world how smarter it is than the previous GPT-3.5. One of its best new features is that it can understand pictures. For example, if you show a picture of a phone using the wrong charger, GPT-4 can tell why the picture looks strange or funny.
But GPT-4’s developments don’t stop there. The new language model can code classic games like Tetris (俄罗斯方块) in a matter of minutes, and produce the code and layout (布局) for a website based on a handmade drawing. It can also change the tone and style based on what you ask it to do. GPT-4 is much better than the older GPT at passing tests, which may worry teachers. According to CNN, GPT-4 did really well on a law school test, with a score in the top 10 percent of test takers. But GPT-3.5 only got a score in the bottom 10 percent.
GPT-4 will also see greater use as a tool to power other apps and services. For example, the language learning app Duolingo plans to use GPT-4 in their upcoming version, Duolingo Max. Users can learn language by talking with AI. Another app, Be My Eyes, will have a digital assistant to help blind people better understand the world around them. The government of Iceland also plans to use GPT-4 to protect the Icelandic language.
There are still problems with the new language model, however. GPT-4 struggles to get completely correct answers, especially with newer information after September 2021. GPT-4 also sometimes “hallucinates”, meaning that it will insist that wrong information is true.
1.What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A.GPT-4 can create funny pictures. B.GPT-4 can tell if a phone is recharging.
C.GPT-3.5 cannot understand pictures. D.GPT-4 cannot respond faster than GPT-3.5.
2.Which of the following abilities of GPT-4 are mentioned?
①understanding pictures ②coding classic games
③producing the layout for a website ④changing the tone and style
⑤getting completely correct answers ⑥powering other apps and services
A.①②③④⑤ B.①②④⑤⑥ C.①②③⑤⑥ D.①②③④⑥
3.According to the text, what is true about GPT-4?
A.GPT-4 can beat 90% of human test takers in all tests.
B.GPT-4 is less preferred by apps and services.
C.GPT-4 sometimes is unable to decide whether the information is true or not.
D.GPT-4 couldn’t get correct answers before Sept 2021.
4.Where is this text most likely from?
A.A technology newspaper. B.A science fiction.
C.A computer guidebook. D.A fashion magazine.
1.C 2.D 3.C 4.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一款名为GPT-4的语言模型。
1.推理判断题。根据“One of its best new features is that it can understand pictures.”可知,GPT 3.5不能理解图片,这是GPT 4的新功能。故选C。
2.细节理解题。根据“One of its best new features is that it can understand pictures.”可知,GPT-4可以理解图片;根据“The new language model can code classic games like Tetris in a matter of minutes, and produce the code and layout for a website based on a handmade drawing.”可知,GPT-4可以在几分钟内编写俄罗斯方块等经典游戏的代码,并根据手工绘图为网站生成代码和布局;根据“It can also change the tone and style based on what you ask it to do.”可知,GPT-4可以根据你的要求改变语气和风格;根据“GPT-4 will also see greater use as a tool to power other apps and services.”可知,GPT-4还将被更多地用作支持其他应用和服务的工具。故选D。
3.细节理解题。根据“GPT-4 also sometimes ‘hallucinates’, meaning that it will insist that wrong information is true.”可知,GPT-4可能会坚持认为错误的信息是真实的,即无法分辨对错。故选C。
4.推理判断题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了一款名为GPT-4的语言模型。因此可以在科学报纸上读到。故选A。
