A month ago,I was sitting in Jellycat Cafe with my best friends-Teacup,Bear and Latte.Every day,we saw lots of people line up in our cafe.Most of them were adults and they looked like they were on top of the world when they picked up their own Jellycat. One day,my mum came in and told the cashier that she wanted a teapot.The cashier brought me out from under the counter."This teapot has a very nice shine,"she said."But this sweetie is fragile,so don't let him hit hard things by accident,or he'll get hurt."Then I was carefully wrapped up in paper,just like all my friends here.Soon, Bear was also taken by a young lady."He had secretly taken a bite of his cake,"the cashier told the customer.She then“put some more cream'”on Bear's cake. After we got home,a friend of my mum's told her that she had spent 1,000 yuan at our cafe.She thought it was worth every penny because we were so cute,and our cafe's service was unique.But I think there's a deeper reason: Every day,when my mum comes home late at night,she looks very tired.But every time she holds me in her arms, a smile lights up her face.Maybe this is the emotional support people talk about at the cafe. 11.Where was Teapot a month ago?

B A family of eight beavers (in the Czech Republic surprised the world by building a dam (in just two days.The government had planned to build it in 2018 but never started.Their work saved taxpayers (around $1.2 million. But if you know anything about beavers,you may not find the news surprising. Beavers are known as top builders of nature.They use their strong teeth to cut down branches and build dams. They also use grass,rocks and mud to strengthen them.The animals seem to be born with the ability to build.Even young beavers help with the work.But why do they build dams? 八年级英语第2页（共6页） Beavers do this to stay safe.With fat bodies and short legs,beavers walk slowly.On land,they're very easy to become meals of predators like bears and wolves.But in the water,beavers are nearly unbeatable.They are great swimmers and can hold their breath for 10 to 15 minutes.By building a dam,they create a deep pond,and that pond is their safety zone. Beaver ponds aren't just warm,comfortable and safe homes for these animals themselves.Beaver dams benefit the environment,too.The food and water in these wetlands can support a large number of animals and plants.In rainy seasons,the dams store water to stop floods.In dry seasons,the stored water helps keep rivers alive.Scientists found that these wetlands also help fight climate change by taking in carbon dioxide. All this doesn't mean beavers are perfect neighbours.Their dams sometimes flood roads and farms.And their tree-chewing habits can bring trouble to homeowners.But instead of driving them away,humans are now finding ways to live peacefully with these smart builders. 16.What can we learn from paragraph 1? A.Where the government chose to build the dam.B.Why the plan to build the dam didn't start. C.How many beavers built the dam in two days. D.When the beavers finished building the dam. 17.What does the underlined word "them"in paragraph 2 refer to? A.Dams. B.Roads. C.Branches. D.Ponds. 18.Why do beavers build dams according to the article? A.To provide meals for bears and wolves. B.To protect themselves from danger. C.To save money for the government. D.To help slow down climate change. 19.What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A.Beavers are in danger on land. B.Beavers are facing challenges. C.Beaver dams are helpful to nature. D.Beavers bring problems to people. 20.What is the best title for the passage? A.The Happy Life of Beavers B.A Free Way to Build Dams C.People's Perfect Neighbours D.Nature's Smart Builders C Pu'er,a city in Yunnan,is famous for its tea,but did you know it's also known as the coffee capital of China? Coffee trees grow best in places with a warm,wet climate.Pu'er has long been a top coffee bean producer.The first coffee tree was planted by a Frenchman in 1892,and in 1988,Nestle brought modern coffee farming to the city. Today,coffee is a major industry (there,and Pu'er is home to some of the best coffee beans in the country. But Pu'er is not just about growing coffee beans.It's also a place for coffee lovers to experience a complete coffee-making process.Hands-on activities cover everything from picking and roasting beans to brewing and tasting coffee.To achieve this,the city has built more than 20 high-end coffee manors () At the Elephant Coffee Manor,for example,you can enjoy a cup of coffee while watching Asian elephants walk freely.Such a scene is not seen very often."I love sitting here,"says Huang Daxiang,a coffee lover."It seems like another planet.” Visitors can also try their hand at picking coffee fruit,making coffee soap and more at other manors.It is said that coffee soap has much stronger cleaning power than ordinary soap.These activities add something special to your trip. 八年级英语第3页（共6页） At the same time,Pu'er also hosts coffee-themed events,such as coffee brewing competitions.These events bring baristas (and coffee lovers together."At the events,I have tasted different coffee flavours and met people from all over the world,"says another coffee lover."That's what being a big coffee city is all about." As this year's harvest season begins,it's likely that Pu'er will draw huge crowds of people. 21.Why did Pu'er become the coffee capital of China? A.Because of its culture. B.Because of a Frenchman. C.Because of its climate. D.Because of its government. 22.What can coffee lovers do to experience the complete coffee-making process? ①Roast coffee beans.. ②Grow a coffee tree. ③Brew and taste coffee. ④Pick coffee beans. ⑤Make coffee soap.

E.They can also create"smart"study plans and exercises for each student. F.Many parents are not happy with the service after their kids tried these study rooms. Al has been in the news for years.Many people now use it at work and in daily life.26. Well,you can do it now!There are "AI-powered study rooms".Their ads say their"AI apps"can work out each student's weaknesses.27.Sounds fantastic,right?But wait a minute before asking your parents to sign you up. 28. They say the"AI apps"are not as good as they promised.The apps only show students'mistakes and make them do the same exercises again and again.Also,most lessons are just pre-recorded videos.So,is there any real AI here? Don't be sad,though.Your dream of learning with AI can still come true.You don't need to go to an"AI- powered study room".AI chatbots from companies like DeepSeek are free to use anytime,anywhere.The key is 八年级英语第4页（共6页） to use them in a smart way.29. Instead,try making sentences with your newly learned words and let AI correct your mistakes.Unable to solve an equation like 3x-7(x-1)=3-2(x+3)?Ask AI to show you how to solve it step by step. 30. But it's a better way to use your time than going to an"AI-powered study room"!So give AI a try-but remember,it's only a tool to help you think,not to think for you. 第三节信息匹配 下面的材料A~F分别介绍了六个义工活动岗位。请根据MsWu,Anna,Mike,MrLi和Lingling的情 况，为他们匹配适合他们的义工岗位，并在答题卡上将相应的字母编号涂黑。（共5小题，每小题1.5分） A.Beach Cleanup Volunteer (Dameisha) You will help collect plastic waste and clean the beach.Gloves and bags are provided by us.You should be strong enough to carry full trash bags and work well with others.

When it comes to choosing a topic, I strongly recommend focusing on either traditional crafts or famous stories. Paper-cutting would be perfect - you could show how to cut out a beautiful red ‘Fu’ character from paper. If you prefer storytelling, the legend of Mulan is a good choice. Her great courage and love for family stand for the central value of Chinese culture beautifully. To give a successful presentation, remember the following key tips. First, try to speak slowly and clearly, especially when pronouncing Chinese names. Second, stand straight with relaxed shoulders. This can make you look confident. And don’t forget to smile and make eye contact with the audience. Most importantly, believe in yourself. Practice in front of a mirror before the competition can improve your confidence. I hope my suggestions will be helpful to you. And I’m looking forward to your excellent performance in the speech competition. Good luck!
