Although we don’t know the answer, we believe that it will be very different from the life today. In the future, I think we will live on Mars. Here is what life will be like there. First of all, transport should be much better. Now, our spaceships are too slow to carry people to space. But in the future, it will only take us two or three days to get to Mars by spaceship! Secondly, human beings need food, water, and air to live. Scientists will be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air we need. There is a problem for us. Mars pulls us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we can easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To stop this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to put on weight (重量). Life on Mars allows people to have more space. Many people believe that robots will do some of our work, so we will have more time for our hobbies. However, life on Mars may not be better than that on the Earth today. Food will look like pills (药片) and will not be as delicious as it is today. Also space travel will make many people feel ill. 84．What will the future spaceship be like? A．It will become more beautiful. B．It will become much faster. C．It will carry people to any planet. D．It will be too expensive. 85．The underlined words “put on” in Paragraph 4 mean “________” in Chinese. A．增加 B．交易 C．掌握 D．减少 86．What can we know from the passage? A．Life on Earth will be very terrible. B．People will never do any work because of robots. C．People can get water from plants on Mars. D．People may not feel comfortable during space travel to Mars. 【参考答案】84．B 85．A 86．D 【语篇解读】本文介绍了将来在火星上生活将会是什么样。 84．推理判断题。根据“Now, our spaceships are too slow to carry people to space. But in the future, it will only take us two or three days to get to Mars by spaceship!”可知，现在我们的宇宙飞船太慢了，无法将人送上太空。在未来，乘坐宇宙飞船去火星只需要两三天，因此推断在未来宇宙飞船将会变得更快，故选B。 85．词义猜测题。根据“Mars pulls us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we can easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space.”可知，火星引力比地球小得多，我们很容易跳得太高，然后慢慢飞向太空。所以我们需要必须穿上特殊的鞋子来增加重量。故选A。 86．细节理解题。根据“Also space travel will make many people feel ill.”可知，人们在去火星的太空旅行中可能会感到不舒服。故选D。 Passage26（陕西省榆林市榆阳区2023-2024学年八年级下学期期中 ） When Justin Tong was a child, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him doing lots of housework. But when he grew up, he was better than his childhood friends and lived a happier life. This is the finding of a 40-year study which followed the lives of 456 children in London. “Children who worked at home in childhood got more abilities (能力) and came to feel they were important members of society,” said Daniel Brown, “And because they felt good about themselves, and others felt good about them.” Brown’s study followed these children in great information. Interviews (采访) were done at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Brown, the researchers compared the children’s mental-health scores (得分) with their childhood-activity scores. The children got more points for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems. Working at any age is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and ability—the basis of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must work together and work toward common goals. The most competent (合格的) adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live great in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.” 87．What do we know about Justin Tong? A．He enjoyed a happy life. B．He felt sorry for the other kids. C．He had no friends. D．He hardly did housework. 88．Who will probably succeed in the future according to Paragraph 2? A．Children who enjoy happier and richer lives. B．Children who feel good about people around them. C．Children who take part in Daniel Brown’s study. D．Children who work at home in childhood. 89．How did Brown follow the children in his study? A．By giving housework and help. B．By training them and showing love. C．By interviewing and giving scores. D．By solving problems and testing them. 90．The passage mainly tells us ________. A．every child should study hard at home B．working is helpful for children’s growth C．a child shouldn’t do lots of work D．working can help solve many problems 【参考答案】87．A 88．D 89．C 90．B 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍一项调查的结果来说明做家务和努力工作会使孩子们长大后更快乐、更成功，并鼓励孩子们做家务、努力工作。 87．细节理解题。根据第一段“When Justin Tong was a child, …But when he grew up, he was better than his childhood friends and lived a happier life.”可知，Justin Tong过着幸福的生活。选A。 88．推理判断题。根据第二段“‘Children who worked at home in childhood got more abilities and came to feel they were important members of society,’ said Daniel Brown, ‘And because they felt good about themselves, and others felt good about them.’”可推断，小时候在家工作的孩子有更多的能力，他们自我感觉良好，他们在未来可能会成功。故选D。 89．细节理解题。根据第三段“Interviews were done at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Brown, the researchers compared the children’s mental-health scores with their childhood-activity scores.”可知，布朗在他的研究中通过采访和打分来跟踪这些孩子。故选C。 90．主旨大意题。通读全文并结合倒数第二段“Working at any age is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and ability—the basis of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must work together and work toward common goals.”可知，在任何年龄工作都很重要；儿童活动帮助孩子发展责任感、独立性、自信和能力；这些活动还帮助孩子理解人们必须一起工作，朝着共同的目标努力；也就是说工作对孩子的成长是很有帮助的。故选B。 Passage27（陕西省榆林市榆阳区2023-2024学年八年级下学期期中 ） Mom and Dad are two of the most important people in your life. Over your lifetime, they may influence (影响) you more than anyone else you will meet. So if your mom loves to read, you just might grow up carrying a book wherever you go, just as she does. But parents do a lot more than just pass on their hobbies. Moms and Dads need to care for their kids the minute their kids are born. Most parents will do this as long as they live. Here are some ways for you to build a strong relationship with your parents. ◆Spend time together. Instead of playing computer games or watching TV, ask your mom and dad to play with you. Go outside together, or do some reading. ◆Be kind. Little things might mean a lot to your mom or dad. You can brighten a parent’s day with a hug (拥抱), a card, or a joke. It’s also lovely when a kid cleans up his or her room without being asked. And if you try not to fight with your brothers or sisters, your parents will be so happy! ◆Do your best at whatever you do. You don’t have to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to see how you’re turning into a great kid. Why? Because it lets them know they’re doing a good job. 91．Which of the following can’t help you build a strong relationship with your parents? A．Spending time together. B．Being kind.

Why? Because it lets them know they’re doing a good job.”可知，他们很高兴看到你变成了一个好孩子，因为他们让你成为了一个好孩子。故选A。 Passage28（陕西省西安市西咸新区泾河新城五校2023-2024八下期中 ） Do you live with your grandparents?

A month after he was born, his mother found that his eyes weren’t as big as a normal (正常的) baby’s. “Billy would never be able to see. He is blind,” the doctor said. Even so, with the hope to help Billy learn about the world around him, his mother kept describing everything she saw for him. Not just through his mother’s words, Billy saw with his ears and hands, too. He had perfect hearing. “In fact, he can see many things that normal people don’t notice.” Although Billy lived in the dark, he always believed a dream would light up his life. He found that he was interested in computer science. So he began learning it at seven years old. As a young boy, he looked forward to going to Stanford University some day. And for years of efforts, he finally achieved his dream. Many people wanted to find out the secret of his success. Billy explained, “Just move forward!

Sometimes they make trouble, but sometimes they can help us. Here are two real stories from our readers. The first story is from Ray. “My cat, Tiger, hates it when I use my phone because it takes my attention away from him. One year, I had a fall at home and I was unable to move. And I couldn’t get the phone to call for help. Tiger stayed by my side until he disappeared under my bed. ‘What’s he up to?’ I wondered. To my surprise, he pushed something towards me. It was my phone. He probably didn’t know what it was, but he knew that it made me happy. Thanks to Tiger, I was able to communicate with my friend.” The second story is from Colin. “Years ago, my friend Julius saved a bird—a wild cockatoo (鹦鹉) from the side of the road and kept it in a big cage (笼子). One of her wings hurt, so she was unable to return to the wild immediately. Soon, two wild cockatoos came to visit and one of them wanted to find his way into the cage. Those two cockatoos visited the cockatoo in the cage every day. After recovery, the three cockatoos flew away together.” After reading the stories, don’t you think we should get along well with animals?

Passage14（陕西省渭南市高新区2023-2024学年八年级下学期期中 ） My mother always says to me, “Do everything by yourself.” I remembered that when I had something difficult to do in my childhood, I often asked my mother for help. But she always said gently (温柔地), “Do it yourself, boy.” I wasn’t happy about this. I thought she was the laziest mother in the world. I thought she didn’t love me at all. One day, I decided to invite my friends to my home. My bedroom was really messy. Books were everywhere and I didn’t make the bed either. I asked my mother to help me clean it, but she still said, “Dear, if you learn to do things by yourself, you’ll find nothing is difficult. So do it yourself.” Because of my “lazy” mother, I had to wash my clothes and clean my room. I had to help my parents do some housework. I even had to go to see the doctor by myself. As time went by, I understood my mother. I learned a lot from her: being hard-working and facing difficulties bravely.

He gave $10,000 of his money to a charity to help poor children live a better life. Today he is 36. He still wears cheap shoes and clothes and drives a small car only, but he is very happy. Up to now, Jack has helped some children from poor countries all over the world by sending them each $200 a month. The money is used for the children’s study, food, medicine and clothing. Jack receives a report each year on the children’s progress. They can write to each other, but usually the children do not speak English. When Jack first heard about these children, he wanted to help them. “It was nothing special,” he said. “Until I went to these countries and met the children I was helping, I didn’t know anything about their life.” Once Jack went to meet a little girl in Africa, he said that the meeting was exciting. “When I met her, I felt very happy,” he said. “And I saw that the money was used for a good cause.

It helped me learn more practical skills than my peers (同龄人) who grew up in cities. I learned to cook at around 10 years old. The first skill I had was making dumplings. Later, I cooked fried dishes. I fell in love with cooking. It’s a good way to relax myself. Now working from home, I cook every meal instead of ordering delivery (外卖). It saves money and I don’t have to wait for delivery drivers to feed me. Besides cooking, I did a lot of farm work in my childhood. I got to know how to plant vegetables. Though it was hard work, the experience taught me things that many of my peers still don’t know. I once discussed these with my friends from the city. They thought it was a pity that they didn’t have the chance to learn these things in their lives. Some might say we can learn these things from textbooks. But it can’t compare to the joy of watching plants grow. It brings a new way to look at the world. You will value everything on your plate. This may be why I’m happy to hear that labour education is required (要求) in China. Students in primary and middle schools can have at least one class every week to learn basic household skills like cooking and cleaning. Trust me. These practical skills will help you for the rest of your life. 54．What are the advantages (优点) of getting practical life skills for the writer? ①saving money        ②relaxing           ③valuing food      ④working harder A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①③④ D．①②④ 55．The underlined word (划线单词) “pity” means “_________” in Chinese.

If your friends shrug their shoulders when being invited to a party, it shows they are not very interested in it. Second, keep fingers crossed (交叉的). It shows wishes for good luck. Before people take exams, they often cross their fingers in the hope of good grades. Football fans do the same thing when they wish their favorite player will score a goal. Third, rub chin (摸下巴) . If someone rubs their chins, it often means they don’t believe what someone is saying! So if your friends make this gesture, it secretly tells you how they feel. Fourth, scratch head (挠头).

We can’t work or stay in the office and classroom all the time if we are going to keep healthy and enjoy life. So it is necessary for us to take part in some activities of relaxing. Everyone has his own way of relaxing. Perhaps the most popular form (形式) is to take part in sports. We have all kinds of sports. There are team sports, such as basketball and soccer. There are also individual sports, such as swimming and running. Skating and mountain climbing are the most popular recreation (消遣) for people who like to be outdoors. But not everyone who enjoys sports likes to take part in them. Many people don’t like being outdoors. Instead of that, they prefer to watch them on TV or listen to them on the radio. So many people like some forms of indoor recreation, such as watching TV, singing and dancing. It doesn’t matter whether we like indoor recreation or take part in outdoor sports.

First of all, transport should be much better. Now, our spaceships are too slow to carry people to space. But in the future, it will only take us two or three days to get to Mars by spaceship! Secondly, human beings need food, water, and air to live. Scientists will be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air we need. There is a problem for us. Mars pulls us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we can easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To stop this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to put on weight (重量). Life on Mars allows people to have more space. Many people believe that robots will do some of our work, so we will have more time for our hobbies. However, life on Mars may not be better than that on the Earth today. Food will look like pills (药片) and will not be as delicious as it is today. Also space travel will make many people feel ill. 84．What will the future spaceship be like?

Passage26（陕西省榆林市榆阳区2023-2024学年八年级下学期期中 ） When Justin Tong was a child, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him doing lots of housework. But when he grew up, he was better than his childhood friends and lived a happier life. This is the finding of a 40-year study which followed the lives of 456 children in London. “Children who worked at home in childhood got more abilities (能力) and came to feel they were important members of society,” said Daniel Brown, “And because they felt good about themselves, and others felt good about them.” Brown’s study followed these children in great information. Interviews (采访) were done at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Brown, the researchers compared the children’s mental-health scores (得分) with their childhood-activity scores. The children got more points for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems. Working at any age is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and ability—the basis of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must work together and work toward common goals. The most competent (合格的) adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live great in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.” 87．What do we know about Justin Tong? A．He enjoyed a happy life. B．He felt sorry for the other kids. C．He had no friends. D．He hardly did housework. 88．Who will probably succeed in the future according to Paragraph 2? A．Children who enjoy happier and richer lives. B．Children who feel good about people around them. C．Children who take part in Daniel Brown’s study. D．Children who work at home in childhood. 89．How did Brown follow the children in his study? A．By giving housework and help. B．By training them and showing love. C．By interviewing and giving scores. D．By solving problems and testing them. 90．The passage mainly tells us ________. A．every child should study hard at home B．working is helpful for children’s growth C．a child shouldn’t do lots of work D．working can help solve many problems Passage27（陕西省榆林市榆阳区2023-2024学年八年级下学期期中 ） Mom and Dad are two of the most important people in your life. Over your lifetime, they may influence (影响) you more than anyone else you will meet. So if your mom loves to read, you just might grow up carrying a book wherever you go, just as she does. But parents do a lot more than just pass on their hobbies. Moms and Dads need to care for their kids the minute their kids are born. Most parents will do this as long as they live. Here are some ways for you to build a strong relationship with your parents. ◆Spend time together. Instead of playing computer games or watching TV, ask your mom and dad to play with you. Go outside together, or do some reading. ◆Be kind. Little things might mean a lot to your mom or dad. You can brighten a parent’s day with a hug (拥抱), a card, or a joke. It’s also lovely when a kid cleans up his or her room without being asked. And if you try not to fight with your brothers or sisters, your parents will be so happy! ◆Do your best at whatever you do. You don’t have to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to see how you’re turning into a great kid. Why?
