Passage 4 （23-24八年级下·辽宁阜新市实验中学 ·期中） Now, more and more people have difficulties in falling asleep. “In fact, we can train our brain (大脑) to fall asleep,” says sleep expert Michael Grandner. Here are his favourite ways. Make a plan and stick to it. Melatonin (褪黑素) is produced by the body to control when you get sleepy and when you wake up. As night falls, the levels of melatonin rise, telling the body that it’s time for bed. And the levels usually fall as daylight comes near, getting you ready to welcome the day. The release (释放) of melatonin needs to be at regular (有规律的) times. So if your bedtime and wake-up time change from day to day, your body doesn’t know how to respond (回应). So it’s important to have a regular bedtime and wake up time, even on weekends.Don’t lie in bed awake (醒着的). In fact, this way is very helpful. Whether it’s the beginning of the night or the middle of the night, if you’ve been awake for 20 or 30 minutes, get up. Maybe you just need five minutes to get sleepy, or maybe an hour, but don’t spend that time awake in bed.Change your attitude (态度) about sleep. Many people think sleeping as the final thing in a busy day, so they would delay sleeping to do housework, schoolwork or others. That thought needs to be changed. Make sure your sleep time is enough in order to work better the next day. It may sound like a small change, but it’s an important one. 13．Michael Grandner gives us ________ ways in this passage. A．one B．two C．three D．four 14．When do the levels of melatonin rise? A．When you’re tired. B．When night falls. C．When you feel sleepy. D．When daylight comes. 15．What does the underlined word “delay” mean in Chinese? A．暗示 B．督促 C．调理 D．推迟 16．How is the text organized? A． B． C． D． Passage 5（23-24八年级下·辽宁阜新市实验中学 ·期中） For most of us, stress (压力) is a fact of life. But there are many useful ways to lower stress. Let’s take a look. Sometimes it can be difficult to say exactly what we’re feeling. When we feel uneasy or disappointed (失望), we can put problems into words. Keeping a diary is a good way to relax. If we get angry, music has a wonderful influence (影响) on our feelings. When we feel sad, it fills our hearts with warmth. When we get nervous or upset before a test, take a few deep breaths (呼吸). Enough sleep helps us keep clear minds. Without plenty of rest, it is hard to pay attention to our study or work.

Our own planet, the Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. It is hoped that people could start again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life there could be like. At present, our spacecraft are too slow to carry large numbers of passengers (乘客) to Mars and it would take months. With the development of technology, by the year 2100, the journey might only take about 20 minutes in spacecraft that travel at the speed (速度) of light! However, the spacecraft would travel really fast, so the journey to Mars might be quite uncomfortable. Many people would feel ill. Humans can’t live without water, air or food. So far, nobody knows if there would be enough water or air on Mars for people. Moreover, scientists are not sure if plants could grow on Mars. Food would most probably be made like pills (药片) and would not keep long. Compared with life on the earth, life on Mars would be better in some ways. People would have more space. They might live in houses with huge comfortable rooms. Also, robots would do lots of their work so that they could have more time to relax. There would probably be no schools. Every student would study at online schools with “e-teachers”. Life on Mars would be interesting and challenging (充满挑战的). However, it may take hundreds of years to make it true. So the most important thing we need to do now is to protect our beautiful blue planet-the Earth! 66．People would move to Mars because ________.

What will happen to you if water takes the place of all drinks? Chris Bailey, a popular blogger (博客作者), tried this out. Here are the advantages (优点) that he has found about drinking water. First, you lose weight (体重) faster. You don’t have to exercise but just keep away from drinks for 9 days. So water is very important. It is the same as running for 8 kilometers a day! So write down your resolution on a piece of paper and put it on the wall. And you will see the result soon. Sometimes when you have to stay up late for a test, you may drink a cup of tea or coffee. But do you know 75 to 85 percent of your brain (大脑) is water? Nothing else! Just by drinking water, your brain can work efficiently. You may remember things quickly. What’s more, water washes out something bad in your body. So drinking enough water can stop you from getting old soon. If you want to look young and beautiful, drink water right now! Keep on doing it for longer, and you will be surprised to touch your soft and clean skin (皮肤). Lastly, you save money! The price of water is much lower than that of other drinks.

If not, you can have a try now because the clothes donation is becoming more and more popular. And many people think highly of (赞扬) it. “Sometimes my mother clears out the clothes which I don’t wear. I think it’s a good way to help others.” Tom, a middle school student says. “After going shopping, I often pick out some of my old clothes, usually out-of-style ones. Then I’ll put them into the donation box.” Miss Wang, a smart young woman says. “That seems like a good idea. Some clothes in the box are quite new. People can wear them or use them to make things such as handbags and pencil cases.” Mrs. Wu, an old woman, says. However, there are some problems. Recently, a TV reporter did a survey (调查). Here are the results: *The box is full of clothes in a short time. There is no more room for people to give away clothes. *Some people sell the clothes in the donation box for making money instead of (而不是) wearing them. *Some neighborhood doesn’t put the box in right places, so there are few clothes in it. In order to make the donation box work well, our city is trying to help out in different good ways.

You see how little things can change a person’s life for the better, which makes everyone a better person.” Mason, a volunteer said. National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity (机会) to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization’s expectations (期望). Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities. The following tips can help if you have some of these worries. «Start out slowly, don’t add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone’s life. «Choose an organization with the same interests and common values. «Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked. «Work with a veteran volunteer. He volunteered a lot, he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization’s expectations. «Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them. «Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn’t work, don’t give up and you’ll surely find the right opportunity. Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people’s lives.

Passage 23 （23-24八年级下·辽宁沈阳市沈北新区 ·期中） Chinese paper cutting has a history of thousands of years. Because the cut-outs (图案) are also used to decorate windows, they are sometimes called “chuanghua” or Window Flower. They are supposed to bring people good luck, health and happiness. In the Han Dynasty (朝代), paper began as a precious (珍贵的) thing, so few people could use paper for art. From the 7th to 13th century, paper cutting became so popular that almost all the families decorated their houses with cut-outs during festivals. The art spread to the whole world in the 14th century, immediately catching people’s eyes. In the past, every girl in the countryside was expected to master the skill of paper cutting. It is easy to learn it, but mastering it is another thing. Usually, good paper cutting artists are men.

Some offer their professional skills for free. Others have no qualifications (资历), but they love to work hard to help. One of the most famous volunteers in the world was Mother Teresa. She could be the best volunteer because she gave her life to helping the poorest people of Calcutta. She helped the homeless, cared for the sick, gave out food, and became the mother of those without families. Now more and more teenagers actively look for volunteering opportunities (机会), too. They volunteer because they think it will be fun or they will learn something. They also like the idea of being helpful to others, even if it is just handing out books for the teacher. As they get older, these reasons are still the same, but there are other important reasons for volunteering such as learning on—the-job, getting work experience, and improving their social life. All volunteers bring joy to the people they help in so many ways. They might read books to the blind, fix up broken homes, find ways to get water for villagers. Could you be a volunteer?

In an American classroom, the schoolwork might be done by a study group in which every person has his/her own responsibility (责任). ④So don’t worry about your language or any grammar mistakes. Just watch what other students do, and don’t be afraid to ask any questions. The discussions, or sometimes ever arguments, that your group members and you hold are likely to be the beginning of a friendship. ⑤Beside schoolwork, another important thing faced by overseas students is homesickness or loneliness. You may miss your parents’ cooking, your pets, or even your old bed. Being away from home can create sad feelings, especially when faced with the challenges of getting used to a new environment. ⑥What I strongly suggest is to try hard to deal with these feelings. Be open to new friendships. Sign up for school activities, and enjoy life at school, even if you miss home a lot. Be organized and keep a diary to check your progress. Write down three new things that you’re grateful for every evening, as well as three things you’re looking forward to every morning. ⑦Studying abroad is never simple. In fact, there will be many difficulties every day. But I’m sure you will overcome your difficulties and make your time overseas a success. 127．The article is written for __________. A．teachers B．parents C．students D．travelers 128．Students in America finish their schoolwork by __________. A．thinking critically alone B．working in a group C．watching what others do D．arguing with other students 129．Which is NOT the suggestion to deal with homesickness according to the article? A．Keep a diary. B．Make new friends. C．Take part in school activities. D．Write a letter to parents every day. 130．How is the article organized? A．①//②③//④⑤//⑥⑦ B．①②//③④//⑤⑥//⑦ C．①//②③④//⑤//⑥⑦ D．①②//③④⑤//⑥⑦ 三、人与自然 经典基础题 Passage 33 （23-24八年级下·辽宁营口市盖州市·期中） As climate change brings dangers to people, we are now facing another problem—underground climate change. It is reported from a research team from Northwestern University, US that with the development of cities, the rising underground temperature is causing the ground to heat up and deform (变形). In the last three years, the team had put more than 150 temperature sensors (感应器) under Chicago. The places include subway tunnels, underground parking lots and basements (地下室) of buildings. The temperatures they recorded were surprising. For example, air temperatures in underground structures can be up to 25℃ higher compared to the undisturbed ground temperature. After collecting data in Chicago, the team created computer models to see how temperatures will influence the ground until 2051. When heated, some soft materials may contract (收缩), and other materials, such as stone, may expand (膨胀) in size. The models showed that warmer temperatures can cause the ground to expand upward by as much as 1.2 centimeters, or sink downward by as much as 0.8 centimeters. This may even cause the ground to crack (开裂), leaving people who live and work above in dangerous situations. “The effects can be very bad, but it takes a long time to see them.” Rotta Loria, who led the study, said in a report. As scientists have already known a lot about underground climate change, future plans for cities should take it into consideration. Materials that take in heat can be used to keep the heat from entering the ground. The team also pointed out that the rising temperature could be seen as an opportunity. City planners can try to collect heat underground and send it above for heating. 131．The “undisturbed ground” refers to (指代) places like ________. A．Basements B．tunnels C．public parks D．underground parking lots 132．Because of the rising underground temperature, what may happen? A．Soft materials may expand in size. B．The underground buildings may contract. C．More earthquakes may take place. D．More changes in the ground may happen. 133．To avoid the underground climate change, ________. A．the materials that can take in heat should be used B．the number of people who take the underground should be limited (限制) C．fans should be fixed in the ground D．more sensors can be put in the ground to record the temperature 134．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．The longest journey begins with the first step. B．Rome was not build in a day. C．One should look at the problem in two ways. D．Provide for a rainy day. Passage 34 （23-24八年级下·辽宁营口市实验中学·期中） The Earth has a history of more than 4 billion years, and modern man has lived on it for only 35,000 years. During that time, people have changed the Earth in many ways. They have done both good and bad things to the Earth. In big cities, cars and buses have polluted the air so that many people now have very bad health problems. Factories have also polluted the land, the air and the water. As a result, many rivers and lakes have become very dirty. Some of them are even dead now. All over the world, people have cut down millions of trees. Many types of animals, as a result, are in danger and the quality of the air has become worse. At the same time, people burn oil, coal and wood. The dirty air has formed a “ blanket” around the Earth. The heat from the Sun cannot go away, so the air temperature is rising. This is called the greenhouse effect. This means that the level of the sea is rising and the climate is changing. These problems are very serious for our future, but we can do something now. People have already taken action to improve the environment. We can be green consumers. That is, we should only buy and use things that do not damage the environment. We should stop the habit of using things once and then throwing them away. Many countries now use the wind, the Sun and the sea to make electricity. In some cities, for example, people cannot drive cars on certain days. In other places, they use electric cars and buses. These are just a few of many things we can do. 135．What does the underlined word “them” refer to? A．The land, the air and the water. B．People. C．Rivers and lakes. D．Factories. 136．What does the fifth paragraph mainly talk about? A．Problems. B．Ways. C．Advantages. D．Effects. 137．How is the text organized? (①=Paragraph1,②=Paragraph 2,…) A． B． C． D． 138．What can be the best title for the text? A．Modern Man and the Earth B．Environmental Problems C．The Changes on the Earth D．The Future of the Earth Passage 35 （23-24八年级下·辽宁营口市鲅鱼圈区实验中学·期中） It’s not WASTE until it is WASTED! With the World Environment Day coming, our school is now requiring every student to form a habit of sorting the waste. Here in our schoolyard we lay four different colors of rubbish bins for different kinds of rubbish. The red is for harmful waste; the blue is for waste that can be recycled (回收利用); the green is for kitchen waste; the yellow is for other waste. The followings are some instructions (说明书) for you. Glass: Empty bottles without caps can be recycled to make new glass bottles. Warning—Mirrors and light bulbs mast not be included in the glass waste. Paper: Newspapers, magazines, boxes must be clean enough to be recycled. Warning—Paper tissues and wallpaper are not recyclable as paper and should be kept separately. PMD waste: Packaging made of Plastic or Metal and drink boxes are used to make new packaging. Warning—Plastic pots (e. g. yoghurt pots), plastic bags must not be included in the PMD waste. Harmful waste: out-of-date drugs, used batteries (电池), paint and oil… Besides, if you don’t need your old bikes at all, our school volunteers will collect them. We’re going to fix them up and then give them away to kids who don’t have enough money for a bike. To find out more about recycling, you can visit our school website. 139．According to the passage, the fish bones (骨) should be thrown in the ________ bin. A．red B．blue C．green D．yellow 140．From the passage, we can know that ________ can be included with the PMD waste.

A．sold to collect money for the poor kids B．given away immediately to the poor kids C．fixed up and given back to you for free D．fixed up and given away to the poor kids Passage 36 （23-24八年级下·辽宁沈阳市第四十三中学·期中） World Animal Day falls on Oct 4 every year. It was started in 1931 to remind everyone on our planet to care about animals. Unluckily, many wild animals are facing great danger. Some even became extinct and cannot be seen forever. Recently, China has done much to improve the living condition of endangered wild animals. The protection of Asian elephants is a good example. Asian elephants in China are mostly found in Yunnan Province. These animals have become endangered because some people are killing for their teeth. The government (政府) has been trying to protect them. For example, elephants teeth business is not allowed. This can greatly prevent elephants hunting. Another example is the protection of the Yangtze finless porpoise (江豚). Because of lots of over-fishing and water pollution, the population of the Yangtze finless porpoise was just 1, 012 in 2018. That number was lower than the number of giant pandas. In 2020, the government once put a 10-year fishing ban (禁令). This action is very useful and now people can see a group of Yangtze finless porpoises jump and play in the Yangtze River. With World Animal Day around the corner, we all can think of more ways to better protect our wild friends. As we share this Earth with all living things, we can truly make a difference for all animals. 143．Why was World Animal Day started? A．To introduce wild animals to the public. B．To encourage us to care about wild animals. C．To collect information about wild animals. D．To count the population of wild animals. 144．What does the underlined word “extinct” mean in the first paragraph? A．Rise in number. B．Drop in number. C．Appear. D．Disappear. 145．What has the government done to prevent elephants hunting? A．Stop elephants teeth business. B．Provide elephants with food. C．Protect elephants in a zoo. D．Grow more trees for elephants. 146．What can we learn about Yangtze finless porpoise from Paragraph 3? A．Their population was 1,012 in 2020. B．Their population is larger than that of giant pandas in 2018. C．They were in danger because of over-fishing and air pollution. D．Their number is higher because the government put a fishing ban. 优选提升题 Passage 37 （23-24八年级下·辽宁 沈阳市沈北新区 ·期中） Did you know that the Beijing Winter Olympic Village had a rooftop (屋顶) farm? It covered 4,620 square meters. To relax, athletes and coaches (教练) could try growing vegetables there. It shows just how much Chinese people love growing vegetables. China has a lot of available land for planting things. For centuries, Chinese people made a living through farming. The Book of Songs (《诗经》), written 2,500 years ago, records many kinds of vegetables. Nowadays, even though some Chinese people no longer have a lot of land, they still grow vegetables where they can. Xue Ling, 35, is one of them. Since 2010, she has been planting vegetables on the balcony (阳台) of her apartment in Jinan, Shandong province. “It’s the only way to keep my food, at least the vegetables, clean and safe,” she told China Daily. Caroline Ma from Hong Kong grows vegetables as a hobby. In 2020, Ma started farming on her rooftop and began planting seeds collected during her travels. For Ma, farming is a meditative (冥想的) experience. “I am in my own little world and I can forget about the world’s problems,” she said. It seems that planting vegetables brings more than just food for Chinese people. 147．Why did the Beijing Winter Olympic Village have a rooftop farm? A．To help the athletes and coaches relax. B．To make more money by growing vegetables. C．To provide a better environment for the games. D．To produce enough vegetables for the athletes. 148．What does the word “available” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Helpful. B．Busy. C．Usable. D．Poor. 149．What are the reasons for Chinese people without farmland to grow vegetables? ①To grow them as a hobby.        ②To be able to eat clean and safe food. ③To make a living through farming.    ④To help forget about the world’s problems. A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 150．What is the text mainly about? A．How to grow vegetables on a rooftop. B．When Chinese people started to grow vegetables. C．What planting vegetables has given Chinese people. D．Why Chinese people liked growing vegetables in the past. Passage 38 （23-24八年级下·辽宁大连市中山区 ·期中） Scientists are planning the 2030 trip to Mars. It will take astronauts twelve months on the way and eighteen months living on the Red Planet. As well as building a spaceship and creating space stations, scientists must answer another question: what are the astronauts going to eat while they are away? In 1961, Yuri Gagarin, the first person in space, ate food in tubes (软管). The next astronauts from America had dried food mixed with water. Today, astronauts take ready-made meals with them. However, the meals they can take on the spaceship will last for only about two years. Maya Cooper, a researcher from the USA, thinks she might have the answer. She studies how to grow plants without earth. Her plants grow on a shelf in some special liquid (液体). And they grow surprisingly well. Maya’s idea is for the astronauts to have a greenhouse on Mars. In the greenhouse, they can grow some kinds of fruits and vegetables. They could then prepare their meals with these and other food from the earth. This will help them stay healthy. In this way, astronauts will be able to live on fruits and vegetables without meat products for the long trip. Maya also works on menus for the astronauts. She has suggested more than a hundred different dishes, including egg soup and tomato salad. There is even pizza and chips on the menu so that the astronauts won’t miss home too much. It is very important to make the Marstrip a success because the astronauts will do some valuable research on Mars. However, this will not be possible until the food problem is solved. 151．What must scientists do to prepare for a Mars trip according to paragraph 1? A．Build space stations. B．Set up science labs. C．Make a model spaceship. D．Collect information of Mars. 152．What food do astronauts take for their space travel these days? A．Food in tubes. B．Dried food and water. C．Ready-made meals. D．Fresh fruits and vegetables. 153．According to Maya, it may be possible for astronauts to ________ on Mars. A．live in greenhouses B．develop new kinds of plants C．grow different fruits and vegetables D．make meals with fresh meat products 154．Which could the the best title for the passage? A．Preparing for a Trip to Space B．Feeding Astronauts on Mars C．Searching Other Life in Space D．Sending Women Astronauts to Mars Passage 39（23-24八年级下·辽宁大连市金州区·期中） It’s possible for human to land on Mars. We have already sent several spaceships to Mars. Some of them have landed on Mars. However, none of them had humans. Astronauts have walked on the moon, but so far, nobody has ever set foot on Mars. Many scientists believe that someday we will send astronauts to Mars. This is not an easy thing to do. The biggest challenge (挑战) is the cost. Another challenge is health problems that astronauts might have. Staying too long in a place could cause other health problems—it could even make a person go blind or cause other serious health problems. Although there are so many challenges, some scientists and people still think that we should send astronauts to Mars. The governments of the United States, Russia, Germany, China and other countries are all interested in visiting Mars. There are also private companies that are interested in doing it. ▲ With the technology that we have today, it would take six or seven months. However, we might soon have technology that would let us make the trip in only two weeks. In 1969, the United States sent astronauts to the moon. Those astronauts have already returned to Earth. Some people think that if the first astronauts have the chance to reach Mars, they should build a colony (聚居地) and live on it for the rest of their lives. That way, it will be easier for more astronauts to reach Mars later. Buzz Aldrin, the second person who walked on the moon, is one of the people who agrees with this idea. He once said, “Forget the moon. Let’s go to Mars!” 155．________ is the most difficult one to send astronauts to Mars. A．Not having a good spaceship B．Spending too much money C．Astronauts’ health problem D．Having no water 156．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A．So far, nobody has ever walked on Mars. B．Staying in space for a long time does no harm to us. C．Some spaceships have been to Mars with astronauts. D．Humans have never been sent to the moon. 157．Which of the following sentences can be put in the “ ▲ ”? A．How can we reach Mars? B．How long would a trip to Mars take? C．Why do we want to send astronauts to Mars? D．Is it possible for us to send astronauts to Mars? 158．We can know from the passage that ________. A．some private companies will be set up on Mars B．humans will live on Mars soon C．many people will work hard to visit Mars although it is hard D．few people will agree with the idea to send astronauts to Mars Passage 40 （23-24八年级下·辽宁 鞍山市铁西区校联考·期中） Beat the heat We can keep ourselves away from extreme heat.

Here are his favourite ways. Make a plan and stick to it. Melatonin (褪黑素) is produced by the body to control when you get sleepy and when you wake up. As night falls, the levels of melatonin rise, telling the body that it’s time for bed. And the levels usually fall as daylight comes near, getting you ready to welcome the day. The release (释放) of melatonin needs to be at regular (有规律的) times. So if your bedtime and wake-up time change from day to day, your body doesn’t know how to respond (回应). So it’s important to have a regular bedtime and wake up time, even on weekends.Don’t lie in bed awake (醒着的). In fact, this way is very helpful. Whether it’s the beginning of the night or the middle of the night, if you’ve been awake for 20 or 30 minutes, get up. Maybe you just need five minutes to get sleepy, or maybe an hour, but don’t spend that time awake in bed.Change your attitude (态度) about sleep. Many people think sleeping as the final thing in a busy day, so they would delay sleeping to do housework, schoolwork or others. That thought needs to be changed. Make sure your sleep time is enough in order to work better the next day. It may sound like a small change, but it’s an important one. 13．Michael Grandner gives us ________ ways in this passage. A．one B．two C．three D．four 14．When do the levels of melatonin rise? A．When you’re tired. B．When night falls. C．When you feel sleepy. D．When daylight comes. 15．What does the underlined word “delay” mean in Chinese? A．暗示 B．督促 C．调理 D．推迟 16．How is the text organized? A． B． C． D． 【答案】13．C 14．B 15．D 16．C 【导语】本文就如何训练大脑很好地入睡提出了三点建议。 13． 细节理解题。根据“Make a plan and stick to it”“Don’t lie in bed awake”“Change your attitude (态度) about sleep”可知，给出了三条建议，故选C。 14．细节理解题。根据“As night falls, the levels of melatonin rise,”可知，随着夜幕降临，褪黑激素水平上升，故选B。 15．词义猜测题。根据“Many people think sleeping as the final thing in a busy day, so they would delay sleeping to do housework, schoolwork or others”可知，认为睡觉是一天中的最后一件事，所以推迟睡觉这件事，先把家务等事情做完，所以delay表示“推迟”，故选D。 16．篇章结构题。第一段引出话题；第二至第四段提出了三点建议，故文章结构是总分结构。故选C。 Passage 5（23-24八年级下·辽宁阜新市实验中学 ·期中） For most of us, stress (压力) is a fact of life.

You don’t want to sit alone. But you are not sure who would be friendly and let you sit with them. To solve the problem, Natalie Hampton, 16, made an app called Sit With Us. It makes finding friends in the school canteen (食堂) very easy, Natalie is from Sherman Oaks, California, US. The free app went online on Sep. 9. Students can sign up as “ambassadors” (大使) for a club. Then they can post open lunch events to invite others to join in. Natalie got the idea to create the app after she ate alone her whole seventh grade year. The experience made her feel sad and she was even bullied (欺负). She changed schools because of that. People may want to know why you don’t just ask to sit down.

Our own planet, the Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. It is hoped that people could start again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life there could be like. At present, our spacecraft are too slow to carry large numbers of passengers (乘客) to Mars and it would take months. With the development of technology, by the year 2100, the journey might only take about 20 minutes in spacecraft that travel at the speed (速度) of light! However, the spacecraft would travel really fast, so the journey to Mars might be quite uncomfortable. Many people would feel ill. Humans can’t live without water, air or food. So far, nobody knows if there would be enough water or air on Mars for people. Moreover, scientists are not sure if plants could grow on Mars. Food would most probably be made like pills (药片) and would not keep long. Compared with life on the earth, life on Mars would be better in some ways. People would have more space. They might live in houses with huge comfortable rooms. Also, robots would do lots of their work so that they could have more time to relax. There would probably be no schools. Every student would study at online schools with “e-teachers”. Life on Mars would be interesting and challenging (充满挑战的). However, it may take hundreds of years to make it true. So the most important thing we need to do now is to protect our beautiful blue planet-the Earth! 66．People would move to Mars because ________.

Because the cut-outs (图案) are also used to decorate windows, they are sometimes called “chuanghua” or Window Flower. They are supposed to bring people good luck, health and happiness. In the Han Dynasty (朝代), paper began as a precious (珍贵的) thing, so few people could use paper for art.

The art spread to the whole world in the 14th century, immediately catching people’s eyes. In the past, every girl in the countryside was expected to master the skill of paper cutting. It is easy to learn it, but mastering it is another thing. Usually, good paper cutting artists are men.

His grandpa took him out to the yard to play. Tom was curious about everything. At lunch, Tom told me, “Dad, I saw a hen flying.” “Impossible!”I said without thinking. “How can a hen fly?” “Dad, the dog ran after the hen in the yard. The hen was trapped (被困) in a comer. When the hen saw no other way out, she suddenly flew up to the roof (房顶) . “Dad, I didn’t know hens could fly. How can she fly?”my child asked. I thought for a while and said, “Maybe because of love. The hen loves her own life and that helps her fly!” Tom nodded. He seemed to have understood. Last weekend, we visited Tom’s grandparents again. This time I heard Tom shouting from the yard, “Dad! The dog is chasing (追赶) the hen again! Come and see!” I ran out of the house. The hen was running after a group of chicks, followed closely by the dog. Then the hen suddenly stopped and turned around-she raised up her wings and clucked (追赶) at the dog. I ran over and shouted at the dog to drive it away. “Dad, why didn’t the hen fly away? She knows she can’t fight the dog.” Tom asked. I thought for a while and said, “Maybe because of love. She loves her babies more than anything in the world.” Tom thought for a long time and nodded. He seemed to have understood. 98．The underlined part “was curious about” means ________ in Chinese.

You may not have enough sleep. As we all know, being short of sleep is bad for health. What’s more, experts have found that it could let you have trouble making friends. ②A study of a Tsinghua University research team showed people who don’t get enough sleep can be less willing to make friends. They are too tired to go out. ③The researchers did a survey about 100 middle school students. When they had a good sleep at night, they could talk to strangers easily. When they stayed up late, all of them wanted to be alone in the next day. ④Dr. Song, the leader of the team, said, “The less sleep you get, the fewer friends you will make. At the same time, people may think you are strange and stay away from you. This can make you feel lonely and cause you to sleep even less.” ⑤So if you want to be in good health and make more friends, sleeping well may help. After a good sleep, you will be cleverer and more outgoing. So get enough sleep and be more popular. 106．Which is TRUE according to the passage? A．The research team studied 100 students’ friends. B．If people sleep well, they are sure to have more friends. C．People may feel lonely when they don’t sleep well D．People will have trouble if they have good sleep. 107．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “outgoing” in Chinese?

At the same time, people may think you are strange and stay away from you. This can make you feel lonely and cause you to sleep even less.”可知，睡眠越少，朋友就越少，这会让你感到孤独，导致你睡得更少。故选C。 107．词义猜测题。根据第五段“So if you want to be in good health and make more friends, sleeping well may help. After a good sleep, you will be cleverest and more outgoing.”可知，睡个好觉后，你会变得更聪明、更愿意结交更多的朋友；据此可以推断，划线单词“outgoing”意为“爱交际的，外向”。选C。 108．篇章结构题。综合全文可知，第一段提出睡眠不足可能影响交朋友这一话题：第二至第四段，主要讲述了清华大学的研究情况；第五段呼吁大家保证充足的睡眠，让自己更受欢迎。因为本文属于“总——分——总”结构，即①/②③④/⑤。故选A。 109．最佳标题题。综合全文可知，本文主要介绍了睡眠和交友的关系；选项B“睡个好觉，多交朋友”适合作为文章的标题。故选B。 Passage 28 （23-24八年级下·辽宁大连市金州区·期中） Do you like traveling?

Unluckily, it’s likely that students with those ideas will be disappointed very soon after landing at the airport. ②So, what are the problems you may have, and how can you deal with them? ③Teaching and learning styles in America are very different from those in China, requiring more thinking and teamwork. In an American classroom, the schoolwork might be done by a study group in which every person has his/her own responsibility (责任). ④So don’t worry about your language or any grammar mistakes. Just watch what other students do, and don’t be afraid to ask any questions. The discussions, or sometimes ever arguments, that your group members and you hold are likely to be the beginning of a friendship. ⑤Beside schoolwork, another important thing faced by overseas students is homesickness or loneliness. You may miss your parents’ cooking, your pets, or even your old bed. Being away from home can create sad feelings, especially when faced with the challenges of getting used to a new environment. ⑥What I strongly suggest is to try hard to deal with these feelings. Be open to new friendships. Sign up for school activities, and enjoy life at school, even if you miss home a lot. Be organized and keep a diary to check your progress. Write down three new things that you’re grateful for every evening, as well as three things you’re looking forward to every morning. ⑦Studying abroad is never simple. In fact, there will be many difficulties every day. But I’m sure you will overcome your difficulties and make your time overseas a success. 127．The article is written for __________.

It is reported from a research team from Northwestern University, US that with the development of cities, the rising underground temperature is causing the ground to heat up and deform (变形). In the last three years, the team had put more than 150 temperature sensors (感应器) under Chicago. The places include subway tunnels, underground parking lots and basements (地下室) of buildings. The temperatures they recorded were surprising. For example, air temperatures in underground structures can be up to 25℃ higher compared to the undisturbed ground temperature. After collecting data in Chicago, the team created computer models to see how temperatures will influence the ground until 2051. When heated, some soft materials may contract (收缩), and other materials, such as stone, may expand (膨胀) in size. The models showed that warmer temperatures can cause the ground to expand upward by as much as 1.2 centimeters, or sink downward by as much as 0.8 centimeters. This may even cause the ground to crack (开裂), leaving people who live and work above in dangerous situations. “The effects can be very bad, but it takes a long time to see them.” Rotta Loria, who led the study, said in a report. As scientists have already known a lot about underground climate change, future plans for cities should take it into consideration. Materials that take in heat can be used to keep the heat from entering the ground. The team also pointed out that the rising temperature could be seen as an opportunity. City planners can try to collect heat underground and send it above for heating. 131．The “undisturbed ground” refers to (指代) places like ________. A．Basements B．tunnels C．public parks D．underground parking lots 132．Because of the rising underground temperature, what may happen? A．Soft materials may expand in size. B．The underground buildings may contract. C．More earthquakes may take place. D．More changes in the ground may happen. 133．To avoid the underground climate change, ________. A．the materials that can take in heat should be used B．the number of people who take the underground should be limited (限制) C．fans should be fixed in the ground D．more sensors can be put in the ground to record the temperature 134．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．The longest journey begins with the first step. B．Rome was not build in a day. C．One should look at the problem in two ways. D．Provide for a rainy day. 【答案】131．C 132．D 133．A 134．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了地下温度不断地上升，给人们带来危险，然而，科学家认为气温上升可能被视为一个机会。城市规划者可以尝试在地下收集热量，并将其输送到上面供暖。 131．词义猜测题。根据“The places include subway tunnels, underground parking lots and basements (地下室) of buildings.

For example, air temperatures in underground structures can be up to 25℃ higher compared to the undisturbed ground temperature”可知这些地方包括地铁隧道、地下停车场和建筑物的地下室，他们记录的温度令人惊讶，例如，与未扰动的地面温度相比，地下结构中的空气温度可能高出25℃，故地铁隧道、地下停车场和建筑物的地下室不属于“未扰动地面”，公园属于地面。故选C。 132． 推理判断题。根据“the rising underground temperature is causing the ground to heat up and deform”可知，地下温度上升会导致地面发生变化。故选D。 133．细节理解题。根据“Materials that take in heat can be used to keep the heat from entering the ground.”可知，我们可以用吸热材料来避免地下温度升高。故选A。 134．推理判断题。根据“The team also pointed out that the rising temperature could be seen as an opportunity”可知，地面温度升高虽然会带来很多消极影响，但是也可以把它看作一个机会，所以我们看待问题应该一分为二来看。故选C。 Passage 34 （23-24八年级下·辽宁营口市实验中学·期中） The Earth has a history of more than 4 billion years, and modern man has lived on it for only 35,000 years. During that time, people have changed the Earth in many ways. They have done both good and bad things to the Earth. In big cities, cars and buses have polluted the air so that many people now have very bad health problems. Factories have also polluted the land, the air and the water. As a result, many rivers and lakes have become very dirty. Some of them are even dead now. All over the world, people have cut down millions of trees. Many types of animals, as a result, are in danger and the quality of the air has become worse. At the same time, people burn oil, coal and wood. The dirty air has formed a “ blanket” around the Earth. The heat from the Sun cannot go away, so the air temperature is rising. This is called the greenhouse effect. This means that the level of the sea is rising and the climate is changing. These problems are very serious for our future, but we can do something now. People have already taken action to improve the environment. We can be green consumers. That is, we should only buy and use things that do not damage the environment. We should stop the habit of using things once and then throwing them away. Many countries now use the wind, the Sun and the sea to make electricity. In some cities, for example, people cannot drive cars on certain days. In other places, they use electric cars and buses. These are just a few of many things we can do. 135．What does the underlined word “them” refer to? A．The land, the air and the water. B．People. C．Rivers and lakes. D．Factories. 136．What does the fifth paragraph mainly talk about? A．Problems. B．Ways. C．Advantages. D．Effects. 137．How is the text organized? (①=Paragraph1,②=Paragraph 2,…) A． B． C． D． 138．What can be the best title for the text? A．Modern Man and the Earth B．Environmental Problems C．The Changes on the Earth D．The Future of the Earth 【答案】135．C 136．B 137．A 138．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了现代人们在许多方面改变了地球，呼吁大家采取行动改善环境。 135．词义猜测题。根据“As a result, many rivers and lakes have become very dirty. Some of them are even dead now.”可知，许多河流和湖泊变得非常脏。它们中的一些现在已经死了。因此划线单词指的是“河流和湖泊”。故选C。 136．主旨大意题。根据“These problems are very serious for our future, but we can do something now.”可知，但我们现在可以做些什么。因此谈论的是补救的方法。故选B。 137．篇章结构题。结合全文可知，第一段讲述了引出了“人们在许多方面改变了地球”的话题；第二段到第四段主要讲述了人们在一些方面改变了地球；第五段讲述了人们做什么来改善环境。因此A选项符合文章的结构。故选A。 138．最佳标题题。根据“The Earth has a history of more than 4 billion years, and modern man has lived on it for only 35,000 years.”以及结合全文可知，本文主要讲述了现代人们在许多方面改变了地球，呼吁大家采取行动改善环境。因此最佳标题是“现代人与地球”。故选A。 Passage 35 （23-24八年级下·辽宁营口市鲅鱼圈区实验中学·期中） It’s not WASTE until it is WASTED!

It was started in 1931 to remind everyone on our planet to care about animals. Unluckily, many wild animals are facing great danger. Some even became extinct and cannot be seen forever. Recently, China has done much to improve the living condition of endangered wild animals. The protection of Asian elephants is a good example. Asian elephants in China are mostly found in Yunnan Province. These animals have become endangered because some people are killing for their teeth. The government (政府) has been trying to protect them. For example, elephants teeth business is not allowed. This can greatly prevent elephants hunting. Another example is the protection of the Yangtze finless porpoise (江豚). Because of lots of over-fishing and water pollution, the population of the Yangtze finless porpoise was just 1, 012 in 2018. That number was lower than the number of giant pandas. In 2020, the government once put a 10-year fishing ban (禁令). This action is very useful and now people can see a group of Yangtze finless porpoises jump and play in the Yangtze River. With World Animal Day around the corner, we all can think of more ways to better protect our wild friends. As we share this Earth with all living things, we can truly make a difference for all animals. 143．Why was World Animal Day started? A．To introduce wild animals to the public. B．To encourage us to care about wild animals. C．To collect information about wild animals.

It covered 4,620 square meters. To relax, athletes and coaches (教练) could try growing vegetables there. It shows just how much Chinese people love growing vegetables. China has a lot of available land for planting things. For centuries, Chinese people made a living through farming. The Book of Songs (《诗经》), written 2,500 years ago, records many kinds of vegetables. Nowadays, even though some Chinese people no longer have a lot of land, they still grow vegetables where they can. Xue Ling, 35, is one of them. Since 2010, she has been planting vegetables on the balcony (阳台) of her apartment in Jinan, Shandong province. “It’s the only way to keep my food, at least the vegetables, clean and safe,” she told China Daily. Caroline Ma from Hong Kong grows vegetables as a hobby. In 2020, Ma started farming on her rooftop and began planting seeds collected during her travels. For Ma, farming is a meditative (冥想的) experience. “I am in my own little world and I can forget about the world’s problems,” she said. It seems that planting vegetables brings more than just food for Chinese people. 147．Why did the Beijing Winter Olympic Village have a rooftop farm? A．To help the athletes and coaches relax.

It will take astronauts twelve months on the way and eighteen months living on the Red Planet. As well as building a spaceship and creating space stations, scientists must answer another question: what are the astronauts going to eat while they are away? In 1961, Yuri Gagarin, the first person in space, ate food in tubes (软管). The next astronauts from America had dried food mixed with water. Today, astronauts take ready-made meals with them. However, the meals they can take on the spaceship will last for only about two years. Maya Cooper, a researcher from the USA, thinks she might have the answer. She studies how to grow plants without earth. Her plants grow on a shelf in some special liquid (液体). And they grow surprisingly well. Maya’s idea is for the astronauts to have a greenhouse on Mars. In the greenhouse, they can grow some kinds of fruits and vegetables. They could then prepare their meals with these and other food from the earth. This will help them stay healthy. In this way, astronauts will be able to live on fruits and vegetables without meat products for the long trip. Maya also works on menus for the astronauts. She has suggested more than a hundred different dishes, including egg soup and tomato salad. There is even pizza and chips on the menu so that the astronauts won’t miss home too much. It is very important to make the Marstrip a success because the astronauts will do some valuable research on Mars. However, this will not be possible until the food problem is solved. 151．What must scientists do to prepare for a Mars trip according to paragraph 1? A．Build space stations. B．Set up science labs. C．Make a model spaceship. D．Collect information of Mars. 152．What food do astronauts take for their space travel these days? A．Food in tubes. B．Dried food and water. C．Ready-made meals.
