The “宀” looks like the roof of the house, and the “豕” is a pictographic character for “pig”. The picture shows the development of “家”. The word “家” with a pig under the roof of a house may show the importance of domestic animals (家畜) to traditional Chinese families. There is a strong feeling between parents, children and other family members. The father is usually very strict with their children. Parents work very hard to set a good example for their children, while children study hard. Brothers and sisters in the family are very friendly and helpful to each other. All the family members try their best to live a happy life. Our ancestors (祖先) will be part of our life forever. _____ We remember our ancestors just to make our feelings more active. Whenever we think of them, they make us stronger inside. Everyone has the idea of “making all the members of the family happy”. We should all have this same idea as the great “China dream”.

Salty vegetables? That’s true. We usually eat them during the breakfast with porridge or noodles. Now, another similar word “electronic pickled vegetables (电子榨菜)” has arrived on the Internet. Do you know what they are? Well, electronic pickled vegetables are not something you can eat, but something you can watch! Sounds strange, many young people in China don’t have time to enjoy themselves or talk to their friends. Instead, they always eat alone. So they watch funny videos while eating. It’s like a friend telling you the best stories by your side. And these videos are called electronic pickled vegetables. They are usually short, such as cartoons, different kinds of shows or music. Different people have different opinions. Some think that electronic pickled vegetables can distract people from eating. That’s because you may laugh along with a cartoon character and forget to eat.

Then why should you play sports if sports aren’t going to be your future? Doing sports has many benefits for young people. For one thing, they teach them how to communicate and work as a team. For example, football is teamwork. When you are in the team, you need to communicate with your teammates and work together. Sports teach young people to respect (尊重) their teammates and other people as well. Sports help young people keep away from trouble. If a young person plays sports, he or she might have fewer problems. This is because sports teach young people about rules (规则). They also know that if they work hard, they might win. Sports make young people go out of their houses. These days, a lot of students spend too much time watching television and playing games on a mobile phone. When they play sports, they go outside and exercise in the sun. They take in fresh air. All of these things are important for their health. In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you will become a sports professional or not. Sports will help you become a better and happier person. Sports may also bring you friends and keep you healthy.

China Daily reported more serious vision problems in China in 2019. In the report, 80% senior high school students are short-sighted, followed by 71% in junior high school, 36% in primary school and 14% of 6-year-olds. The shocking numbers are still rising these days. What causes this eyesight problem? Besides family history, there are some other reasons, such as not having enough outdoor activities, being short of enough sleep and too much use of electronic products. However, many young people don’t take shortsightedness seriously before they are short-sighted. They think it’s easy to solve the problem with the help of glasses, or eye operations (手术). And some of them even think that it is cool to wear glasses. When they became short-sighted, spent a lot of money on glasses, felt uncomfortable after operations, they would regret for not caring about their eyes. Here’s one of the best ways to protect your eyes. A research shows that people with more outdoor activities have better visions. Being outdoor not only gives your eyes enough and proper light, but also helps you look far to relax your eyes. The most important advantage is that you use less electronic products like smartphones and TV. Let’s try our best to take care of the windows of our hearts—eyes. 1．In China, shortsightedness seems to be the most serious among _______. A．kindergarten kids B．primary school students C．junior high school students D．senior high school students 2．The reasons for the shortsightedness include _______. ①family history  ②wearing glasses every day  ③being short of sleep ④not having enough outdoor activities   ⑤too much use of electronic products A．②③④⑤ B．①③④⑤ C．①②④⑤ D．①②③④ 3．What does the underlined word “shocking” in Paragraph 2 mean?

Around 60% of people will experience a bloody nose in their lifetime. Nosebleeds are most common in children from 2 to 10 years and in adults aged 50-80. Common causes of nosebleeds include dry air and wounds to the nose or other parts of the head. Blowing your nose too often when you have a cold can also lead to nosebleeds. You probably already know how to stop a bloody nose right away, but it’s important to do it properly and safely. Always sit up straight when your nose is bleeding, and never lie on your back. One of the biggest mistakes in first aid is that you lean (倾斜) back with a bloody nose, but the best thing to do is to lean forward. The blood needs to go somewhere, and if the person leans back or lies down, it will most likely go down his throat, possibly causing choking (窒息). And try not to put tissues (纸巾) into your nose. Pinching the nose properly stops or slows the bleeding. Hold the nose for at least five minutes. Do not let go to check for bleeding until at least the first five minutes are up. If you can, keep the pressure on for longer. After five minutes, see if the bleeding has stopped. If not, pinch again, but keep it up for 10 minutes this time. Avoid activities such as heavy lifting, blowing or picking your nose for a day after the nosebleed has stopped. Remember that if you can’t stop the nosebleed with these methods, see a doctor immediately. 1．Who may most easily have nosebleeds? A．A 6-month-old baby. B．An 8-year-old boy. C．A 15-year-old girl. D．A 40-year-old man. 2．The causes of nosebleeds include the following except ________.

A．Picking. B．Blowing. C．Holding. D．Leaning. 5．What’s the structure of the passage?

What Li is experiencing is fashion anxiety. It troubles many people today. They are anxious about their dressing. A big reason for fashion anxiety is fashion bullying. As fashion magazines and advertisements show the “latest and greatest” trends, there’s a lot of pressure on people, especially on teenagers, no matter how much it will cost. “The need to belong in groups is very important to young learners and exclusion is something they see as the end of the world,” said Andy Cranham. Another reason is that young people may not have a sense of self-identity. It seems that they feel anxious about their dressing, but actually they themselves are not confident enough. They care about how fashionable people look at them. They easily doubt themselves. The truth is that those people usually don’t notice them at all. Fashion trends come and go, always changing. Instead of following, the key is to find your own style. If you’re able to wear clothes with confidence, dressing is only a part of your appearance. It can’t tell the true you. What really matters is your personality and abilities. 1．Li Meixi is anxious about ________. A．her face B．her dressing C．her height D．her weight 2．People are experiencing much pressure from ________ according to the passage.

It started in 1931 to encourage everyone on our planet to care about animals. Unluckily, many wild animals are facing great danger. Some even become extinct and we can’t see them forever. Recently, China has done much to improve the living condition of endangered wild animals. ②The 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 them for their teeth. The government has been trying to protect them. For example, elephants’ teeth business is not allowed. This can greatly stop hunting elephants. ③Another example is the protection of the Yangtze finless porpoise (江豚). Because of over-fishing and water pollution, the population of the Yangtze finless porpoise was just 1,012 in 2018. That number was smaller than the number of giant pandas. In 2020, the government introduced 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. ④With World Animal Day drawing near, we all can think of more ways to better protect our wild friends. As we live with all the living things together, we can truly make a difference to all animals. 1．Why was World Animal Day started? A．To introduce wild animals to the public.

Being sad can happen pretty often. More than half of the teenagers go through a period of sadness at least once a month. When you are sad, it feels like it will last forever. The world seems dark and unfriendly. You might feel like you have nothing to look forward to. Many times, you cry, and it is hard to stop. However, your feeling of sadness usually doesn’t last very long—a few hours or maybe a day or two. When sadness starts to go away, it is like that a big stone is being lifted from your body. If the sad feelings go on for too long, it is called depression. Children who have depressions may not know it. Often it is a parent or teacher who notices children’s changes. When depression happens, it is very important for children to receive treatment. When they do, they can get better quickly. Sometimes treatment includes talking to someone who knows all about depression. Sometimes it means taking medicine. Sometimes both of these things are used. If you think you have depression, or you just have sadness that simply will not go away, it is important to talk to an adult about it first. This person can help you find the right kind of treatment. Many cities also have mental health hotlines that are listed in the phone book. There is always someone who can help. 1．Which question is answered in Paragraph one? A．What does sadness feel like?

You may know the 2024 Summer Olympics will take place in France from 26 July to 11 August. Are you looking forward to Paris 2024? And how much do you know about it? While waiting for the event, we can learn something about it. The organizers have promised to make the game friendly to the environment by minimizing the number of newly-created buildings. Only 5 percent of the buildings are newly created in Paris, while 95 percent of places used for the games were already there. In one of the latest developments, the organizers said that about 11,000 seats would use recycled (可回收的) plastic (塑料) chairs. Because they found there wasn't enough plastic, they had to turn to recycled waste. That was why the organizers began working with Lemon Tri and Le Pavé. The two companies (公司) got the idea of getting plastic waste from recycling bins around the city. They need over 100 tons of plastic to make the seats. They collect 80 percent of the plastic from the nearby schools and street-side bins in Seine-Saint-Denis. They also make the plastic waste into new things there. “When we ask children to put their bottles in the bins and tell them the bottles will become the seats of the Olympic swimming pool, it helps them learn about the importance of recycling waste,” said Augustin Jaclin from Lemon Tri. Of course, collecting plastic is one thing and turning it into Olympic chairs is another. After all, making them isn’t as easy as making normal chairs. 1．What does the underlined word “minimizing” mean? A．Making something better. B．Making something popular. C．Making something different. D．Cutting down on something as much as possible. 2．What’s the third paragraph mainly about? A．How the plastic waste is processed. B．Where the recycled plastic comes from. C．How many chairs will be made of recycled plastic. D．Why the organizers decided to use recycled plastic. 3．What does Augustin Jaclin think of collecting plastic from children? A．Educational.

C．The good things about using recycled plastic. D．The process of turning recycled plastic into chairs. 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．A good way to teach the public about recycling. B．Two companies behind the 2024 Summer Olympics. C．A new swimming pool ready for the 2024 Summer Olympics. D．The 2024 Summer Olympics will use recycled plastic for some seats. 11. 广东省珠海市香洲区2023-2024学年八年级下学期期末英语试题 Have you heard of a cloud forest? Is it the same as a rainforest? Actually, it’s a very special kind of forest in cloudy mountains. There, clouds brush through trees and wet their leaves. Rain falls almost every day. Hundreds of mosses(苔藓) grow and cover everything like a soft, green coat. Plants of cloud forests live in an unusual way. They grow on the branches of trees instead of on the ground. The air is very damp, so plants can get all the water they need from the fog and rain. They live on the high parts of trees so that they can get more light to be stronger. There are many kinds of special animals in cloud forests. For example, tree kangaroos live in trees like monkeys. They use their long tails to balance just as monkeys do. Frogs have suckers(吸盘) on their toes so they can climb up trees and cross leaves easily. Many other special animals are waiting for us to discover, aren’t they? Cloud forests are important to people. They give us healthy food crops, such as wild beans, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes and strawberries. Furthermore, they offer new medicine to treat cancer. Unluckily, the beautiful forests are in danger now. Why? Firstly, the climate is getting warmer, but plants and animals in cloud forests like to live where it’s cool. It’s difficult for them to find a proper place to live in. Secondly, people cut down many trees to plant crops or feed cows. The animals are losing their homes. Once cloud forests are gone, there must be a huge loss to humans. Save the cloud forests before it’s too late! 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling stories. B．By giving examples.

But what do other people think about your generation? Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the phone than the world around you. They see you as the “face-down generation” and wonder how you will deal with school, friends and family. Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies (自拍) to become successful in real life, as you would say? Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoiled (宠坏的) and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents (直升机家长)” who were always there to do everything for them. So today’s young people seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s. Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be willing to become leaders. More young people are more willing to help their communities than ever. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Noble Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school. So if you are one of them born in the 2000s, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. 1．Why are young people born in the 2000s called “face-down generation”? A．Because they are not confident and feel shamed with themselves.

More than 1,000 dancers from 15 Yingge Dance teams took part in it, making it a big cultural event for the city. Yingge Dance, or “Dance to the Hero’s Song”, is a type of folk dance with a history of more than 300 years. It is popular in Chaoshan region in the east of Guangdong Province. Combining dancing, Chinese martial arts, and Chinese opera, Yingge Dance has been listed as a national-level intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in China. It’s said that this traditional dance developed from the Nuo Opera (傩戏) performed to drive away evil (邪恶的) spirits, welcome the spring, and pray for good luck. While ancient Nuo Opera tells stories from different folk tales, Yingge Dance is based on the adventures of the “108 Heroes” of Liangshan Mountain, best known from the classic novel The Water Margin (《水浒传》). During festivals and celebrations, Yingge dancers, each holding short sticks, dress in colorful clothes, jump up and down, and use masks, snakes, and drums to improve their performances. In London’s Burlington Arcade, during the Chinese New Year, a team from Pu’ning, Jieyang, put on an impressive show. Anna, a Londoner who attended with her son, was thrilled and interested in joining future Chinese New Year celebrations. Her son’s growing interest in Chinese traditions has led him to study the Chinese language.

The latest World Happiness Report says that having much money is not the main reason for happiness. If you have real problems, you probably won’t be happy. But once your basic needs are met, money and new things become less important. True happiness comes more from recognizing (认识) the things you have and enjoying them, but not getting more things. Material things like phones and clothes can give us temporary joy, but it doesn’t last long. Think about all the presents you got for your birthday when you were little. At first, you were excited, but then you probably didn’t care about them. So what does bring true happiness? In fact, people with good relationships are happier. It’s important to feel safe and loved by the people around you. But happiness means you have to give and take. Doing kind things for people, for example, listening to a friend in need or helping neighbors, can make you feel great. Health is another key to happiness. Eating well and exercising for 20 to 30 minutes a day help your body release (释放) feel-good chemicals. So when you’re feeling worried, try going for a run or eating tasty food. You will also find that you sleep better. Talking of sleep, do you often wake up feeling terrible? If so, it’s probably because you haven’t had enough of it. Tiredness will influence your happiness level. It also stops you from focusing on (专注) your studies. So if you want to be happy and do well in school, make sure you get enough sleep every night. Now you know what to do. Start practicing! Smile, everyone! 1．How does the writer start Paragraph 1? A．By telling stories. B．By listing facts. C．By giving examples. D．By asking questions. 2．What does the underlined word “temporary” probably mean? A．Short. B．Special. C．Important. D．Different. 3．Who probably can get true happiness? A．People who are around others. B．People who often help others. C．People who always ask for food. D．People who have a lot of money. 4．What helps students to do well in school? A．A smile. B．Enough sleep. C．Running. D．Feel-good chemicals. 5．Which is the best title for the passage? A．The Ways to Make Money B．The Importance of Health C．The Secrets of Happiness D．The Results of Happiness 17. 广东省肇庆市高要区校联考2023-2024学年八年级下学期期末英语试题 Taiwan is famous for its hundreds of night markets.

Over the last year, thirty students between the ages of 21 and 25 took a year off from the university to work on developing the car used for travel off the public road. The car, called Stella Terra, is the first solar-powered car that can travel off-road for long distances without needing a recharging (充电) station. Like most electric cars, Stella Terra stores energy in a battery (电池). Thanks to its powerful solar panels (控制板) and its battery, when it’s sunny, the car can run for 440 miles (710 kilometers) a day. Stella Terra can carry two people, and has a top speed of 90 mph (145 kph). The car weighs just 2,600 pounds (1,200 kilograms). That’s about two-thirds the weight of a typical car. On the bottom, the team designed a system to help the car deal with the hits and heavy shaking that come when driving over rough (凹凸不平的) surfaces. The team recently took the car on its biggest test—a challenging 620-mile (1,000-kilometer) test drive across Morocco. The car had to travel through forests as well as dry riverbeds. It had to drive across loose desert sand and up steep mountain trails. The car succeeded in doing all of this— and all without ever stopping at a charging station. The team is very proud of their car, but they won’t be upset if car companies start to copy their ideas. In fact, they hope that Stella Terra will help give car companies good ideas to work on similar projects. 1．How old are the students that have designed and built a solar-powered car? A．21 years old. B．Between 21 and 25 years old. C．25 years old. D．Between 25 and 30 years old. 2．What does the underlined word “solar-powered” in Paragraph l mean? A．电能的 B．太阳能的 C．汽油的 D．新能源的 3．What do the underline phrases “its biggest test” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．A 440-mile-a-day test drive. B．A 620-mile test drive across Morocco. C．A speed test drive off the public road. D．A power test drive across Morocco. 4．Why won’t the team be upset if car companies start to copy their ideas? A．Because they hope Stella Terra will help car companies to work well on similar projects. B．Because they hope car companies will ask them to work on the similar projects. C．Because they are very proud of Stella Terra, which was designed by themselves. D．Because the car has succeeded in the biggest test drive across Morocco. 5．In what part of the newspaper can we see this passage? A．Science and technology. B．Nature and geography. C．Society and culture. D．Sports and health. 19. 广东省湛江市经济技术开发区2023-2024学八年级下学期期末考试英语试题 Have you ever ordered a pie and received it from the sky?

These turtles were brought from a number of aquariums (水族馆) in the north. They had spent the past few months at these aquariums. The aquariums carefully looked after the turtles because they were not strong enough to return to the sea. Later, they were brought back to sea with the help of an animal protection center focusing on endangered turtles. This happens every fall and winter, as hundreds of sea turtles including many endangered turtles wash up on the beaches of Cape Cod. Many turtles have to leave Cape Cod Bay before the water becomes freezing. Luckily, turtle-loving volunteers search around to bring the weak turtles on the beaches to aquariums so that someone can take care of them. “The turtles have got wonderful care and become healthy as we send them back home. It was so wonderful to release this group of sea turtles on Jekyll Island after they were nursed back to health by us and other aquariums,” said an expert from an aquarium. “Helping them back to nature is just so special because we put our time and energy into it, and it’s what we do every day. It is what we work for. Although taking care of the turtles seems tiring and boring, to be able to see them swim back to sea is really amazing.” said one of the volunteers. 1．Who took care of the turtles according to paragraph 2?

Besides family history, there are some other reasons, such as not having enough outdoor activities, being short of enough sleep and too much use of electronic products. However, many young people don’t take shortsightedness seriously before they are short-sighted. They think it’s easy to solve the problem with the help of glasses, or eye operations (手术).

When they became short-sighted, spent a lot of money on glasses, felt uncomfortable after operations, they would regret for not caring about their eyes. Here’s one of the best ways to protect your eyes. A research shows that people with more outdoor activities have better visions.

Around 60% of people will experience a bloody nose in their lifetime. Nosebleeds are most common in children from 2 to 10 years and in adults aged 50-80. Common causes of nosebleeds include dry air and wounds to the nose or other parts of the head. Blowing your nose too often when you have a cold can also lead to nosebleeds. You probably already know how to stop a bloody nose right away, but it’s important to do it properly and safely. Always sit up straight when your nose is bleeding, and never lie on your back. One of the biggest mistakes in first aid is that you lean (倾斜) back with a bloody nose, but the best thing to do is to lean forward. The blood needs to go somewhere, and if the person leans back or lies down, it will most likely go down his throat, possibly causing choking (窒息). And try not to put tissues (纸巾) into your nose. Pinching the nose properly stops or slows the bleeding. Hold the nose for at least five minutes. Do not let go to check for bleeding until at least the first five minutes are up.

What Li is experiencing is fashion anxiety. It troubles many people today. They are anxious about their dressing. A big reason for fashion anxiety is fashion bullying. As fashion magazines and advertisements show the “latest and greatest” trends, there’s a lot of pressure on people, especially on teenagers, no matter how much it will cost. “The need to belong in groups is very important to young learners and exclusion is something they see as the end of the world,” said Andy Cranham. Another reason is that young people may not have a sense of self-identity. It seems that they feel anxious about their dressing, but actually they themselves are not confident enough. They care about how fashionable people look at them. They easily doubt themselves. The truth is that those people usually don’t notice them at all. Fashion trends come and go, always changing. Instead of following, the key is to find your own style. If you’re able to wear clothes with confidence, dressing is only a part of your appearance. It can’t tell the true you. What really matters is your personality and abilities. 1．Li Meixi is anxious about ________.

It started in 1931 to encourage everyone on our planet to care about animals. Unluckily, many wild animals are facing great danger. Some even become extinct and we can’t see them forever. Recently, China has done much to improve the living condition of endangered wild animals. ②The 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 them for their teeth. The government has been trying to protect them. For example, elephants’ teeth business is not allowed.

In 2020, the government introduced 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. ④With World Animal Day drawing near, we all can think of more ways to better protect our wild friends.

Being sad can happen pretty often. More than half of the teenagers go through a period of sadness at least once a month. When you are sad, it feels like it will last forever. The world seems dark and unfriendly. You might feel like you have nothing to look forward to. Many times, you cry, and it is hard to stop. However, your feeling of sadness usually doesn’t last very long—a few hours or maybe a day or two. When sadness starts to go away, it is like that a big stone is being lifted from your body. If the sad feelings go on for too long, it is called depression. Children who have depressions may not know it. Often it is a parent or teacher who notices children’s changes. When depression happens, it is very important for children to receive treatment. When they do, they can get better quickly. Sometimes treatment includes talking to someone who knows all about depression. Sometimes it means taking medicine. Sometimes both of these things are used. If you think you have depression, or you just have sadness that simply will not go away, it is important to talk to an adult about it first. This person can help you find the right kind of treatment. Many cities also have mental health hotlines that are listed in the phone book. There is always someone who can help. 1．Which question is answered in Paragraph one? A．What does sadness feel like?

You might feel like you have nothing to look forward to. Many times, you cry, and it is hard to stop. ”可知，此处描述了悲伤是一种什么感受。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据“If the sad feelings go on for too long”可知，如果悲伤的感觉持续太久，就叫做抑郁。所以“depression”的意思是“抑郁症”。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第二段“Often it is a parent or teacher who notices children’s changes.”可知，如果得了抑郁症，老师和父母经常会第一时间注意到这种变化。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“If you think you have depression, or you just have sadness that simply will not go away, it is important to talk to an adult about it first.”可知，如果你认为你患有抑郁症，首先和成年人谈谈是很重要的。故选B。 5．推理判断题。阅读全文可知，本文介绍了青少年如果悲伤时间太久，就会得抑郁症。文中描述这种症状的感受，并在最后给出了治疗建议，所以应该是来自报纸中的健康版面。故选A。 10. 广东省珠海市斗门区2023-2024学年八年级下学期期末英语试题 The 2024 Summer Olympics, also known as Paris 2024, is coming. You may know the 2024 Summer Olympics will take place in France from 26 July to 11 August. Are you looking forward to Paris 2024? And how much do you know about it? While waiting for the event, we can learn something about it. The organizers have promised to make the game friendly to the environment by minimizing the number of newly-created buildings. Only 5 percent of the buildings are newly created in Paris, while 95 percent of places used for the games were already there. In one of the latest developments, the organizers said that about 11,000 seats would use recycled (可回收的) plastic (塑料) chairs. Because they found there wasn't enough plastic, they had to turn to recycled waste. That was why the organizers began working with Lemon Tri and Le Pavé. The two companies (公司) got the idea of getting plastic waste from recycling bins around the city. They need over 100 tons of plastic to make the seats. They collect 80 percent of the plastic from the nearby schools and street-side bins in Seine-Saint-Denis. They also make the plastic waste into new things there. “When we ask children to put their bottles in the bins and tell them the bottles will become the seats of the Olympic swimming pool, it helps them learn about the importance of recycling waste,” said Augustin Jaclin from Lemon Tri. Of course, collecting plastic is one thing and turning it into Olympic chairs is another. After all, making them isn’t as easy as making normal chairs. 1．What does the underlined word “minimizing” mean? A．Making something better. B．Making something popular. C．Making something different. D．Cutting down on something as much as possible. 2．What’s the third paragraph mainly about? A．How the plastic waste is processed. B．Where the recycled plastic comes from. C．How many chairs will be made of recycled plastic. D．Why the organizers decided to use recycled plastic. 3．What does Augustin Jaclin think of collecting plastic from children? A．Educational. B．Boring. C．Difficult. D．Creative. 4．What may the writer talk about next? · A．The importance of recycling waste. B．The reasons for making plastic chairs. C．The good things about using recycled plastic. D．The process of turning recycled plastic into chairs. 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．A good way to teach the public about recycling. B．Two companies behind the 2024 Summer Olympics. C．A new swimming pool ready for the 2024 Summer Olympics. D．The 2024 Summer Olympics will use recycled plastic for some seats. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．A 4．D 5．D 【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了2024年巴黎奥运会将运用回收的塑料制作成椅子，减少环境污染。 1．词句猜测题。根据“Only 5 percent of the buildings are newly created in Paris, while 95 percent of places used for the games were already there.”可知，在巴黎只有5%的建筑是新建的，95%的奥运会场地是原本就在那里了，推测划线单词意为“尽量减少”，组织者承诺通过尽量减少新建建筑的数量来减少对环境的危害。故选D。 2．主旨大意题。根据“In one of the latest developments, the organizers said that about 11,000 seats would use recycled plastic chairs.”可知，本段表达大约有1万1千个座位将有可回收塑料做成。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“When we ask children to put their bottles in the bins and tell them they will become the seats of the Olympic swimming pool, it helps them learn about the importance of recycling waste.”可知，他认为当让孩子们把瓶子放进垃圾箱，告诉他们它们将成为奥运游泳池的座位时，这有助于他们了解回收废物的重要性，所以他认为这是有教育意义的。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“collecting plastic is one thing and turning it into Olympic chairs is another. After all, making them isn’t as easy as making normal chairs.”可知收集塑料是一回事，把它变成奥运会的椅子是另一回事，制作它们并不像制作普通椅子那么容易，可推知接下来作者会谈论将回收塑料制成椅子的过程。故选D。 5．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了2024年巴黎奥运会将运用回收的塑料制作成椅子，减少环境污染。故选D。 11. 广东省珠海市香洲区2023-2024学年八年级下学期期末英语试题 Have you heard of a cloud forest? Is it the same as a rainforest? Actually, it’s a very special kind of forest in cloudy mountains. There, clouds brush through trees and wet their leaves. Rain falls almost every day. Hundreds of mosses(苔藓) grow and cover everything like a soft, green coat. Plants of cloud forests live in an unusual way. They grow on the branches of trees instead of on the ground. The air is very damp, so plants can get all the water they need from the fog and rain. They live on the high parts of trees so that they can get more light to be stronger. There are many kinds of special animals in cloud forests. For example, tree kangaroos live in trees like monkeys. They use their long tails to balance just as monkeys do. Frogs have suckers(吸盘) on their toes so they can climb up trees and cross leaves easily. Many other special animals are waiting for us to discover, aren’t they? Cloud forests are important to people. They give us healthy food crops, such as wild beans, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes and strawberries. Furthermore, they offer new medicine to treat cancer. Unluckily, the beautiful forests are in danger now. Why? Firstly, the climate is getting warmer, but plants and animals in cloud forests like to live where it’s cool. It’s difficult for them to find a proper place to live in. Secondly, people cut down many trees to plant crops or feed cows. The animals are losing their homes. Once cloud forests are gone, there must be a huge loss to humans. Save the cloud forests before it’s too late! 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling stories. B．By giving examples.

Young, creative, connected, smart, maybe good-looking? But what do other people think about your generation? Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the phone than the world around you. They see you as the “face-down generation” and wonder how you will deal with school, friends and family. Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies (自拍) to become successful in real life, as you would say? Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoiled (宠坏的) and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents (直升机家长)” who were always there to do everything for them. So today’s young people seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s. Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be willing to become leaders. More young people are more willing to help their communities than ever. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Noble Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school. So if you are one of them born in the 2000s, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. 1．Why are young people born in the 2000s called “face-down generation”? A．Because they are not confident and feel shamed with themselves. B．Because they are closely connected to the people around them. C．Because they are crazy about the phone and use it a lot. D．Because they are always busy with homework with their heads down. 2．What aspects of the youth are the adults worried about according to the passage? A．Preferring to live like adults when they are in their 20s and 30s. B．Refusing to take on challenges of adult life. C．Doing everything for themselves. D．Being busy with school, friends and family. 3．In the writer’s eyes, today’s teenagers are ________ A．not creative because of the educational problem. B．less willing to help their communities.

Yingge Dance, or “Dance to the Hero’s Song”, is a type of folk dance with a history of more than 300 years. It is popular in Chaoshan region in the east of Guangdong Province. Combining dancing, Chinese martial arts, and Chinese opera, Yingge Dance has been listed as a national-level intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in China. It’s said that this traditional dance developed from the Nuo Opera (傩戏) performed to drive away evil (邪恶的) spirits, welcome the spring, and pray for good luck. While ancient Nuo Opera tells stories from different folk tales, Yingge Dance is based on the adventures of the “108 Heroes” of Liangshan Mountain, best known from the classic novel The Water Margin (《水浒传》). During festivals and celebrations, Yingge dancers, each holding short sticks, dress in colorful clothes, jump up and down, and use masks, snakes, and drums to improve their performances. In London’s Burlington Arcade, during the Chinese New Year, a team from Pu’ning, Jieyang, put on an impressive show. Anna, a Londoner who attended with her son, was thrilled and interested in joining future Chinese New Year celebrations. Her son’s growing interest in Chinese traditions has led him to study the Chinese language.

Why do some people seem happier than others? Money, love or new things? The latest World Happiness Report says that having much money is not the main reason for happiness. If you have real problems, you probably won’t be happy. But once your basic needs are met, money and new things become less important. True happiness comes more from recognizing (认识) the things you have and enjoying them, but not getting more things. Material things like phones and clothes can give us temporary joy, but it doesn’t last long. Think about all the presents you got for your birthday when you were little. At first, you were excited, but then you probably didn’t care about them. So what does bring true happiness? In fact, people with good relationships are happier. It’s important to feel safe and loved by the people around you. But happiness means you have to give and take. Doing kind things for people, for example, listening to a friend in need or helping neighbors, can make you feel great. Health is another key to happiness. Eating well and exercising for 20 to 30 minutes a day help your body release (释放) feel-good chemicals. So when you’re feeling worried, try going for a run or eating tasty food. You will also find that you sleep better. Talking of sleep, do you often wake up feeling terrible? If so, it’s probably because you haven’t had enough of it. Tiredness will influence your happiness level. It also stops you from focusing on (专注) your studies. So if you want to be happy and do well in school, make sure you get enough sleep every night. Now you know what to do. Start practicing! Smile, everyone! 1．How does the writer start Paragraph 1? A．By telling stories. B．By listing facts. C．By giving examples. D．By asking questions. 2．What does the underlined word “temporary” probably mean? A．Short. B．Special. C．Important. D．Different. 3．Who probably can get true happiness? A．People who are around others. B．People who often help others. C．People who always ask for food. D．People who have a lot of money. 4．What helps students to do well in school? A．A smile. B．Enough sleep. C．Running. D．Feel-good chemicals. 5．Which is the best title for the passage? A．The Ways to Make Money B．The Importance of Health C．The Secrets of Happiness D．The Results of Happiness 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了幸福的秘诀。 1．细节理解题。根据“Do you know what makes people happy?

Money, love or new things?”可知，作者以提出问题的方式开始了第一段。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Material things like phones and clothes can give us temporary joy, but it doesn’t last long.”可知，物质只能带来短暂的快乐，故temporary表示 “短暂的”，与short意思相近。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“for example, ... helping neighbors, can make you feel great.”可知，帮助他人的人能得到真正的快乐。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“So if you want to be happy and do well in school, make sure you get enough sleep every night.”可知，充足的睡眠有助于学生在学校表现出色。 故选B。 5．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了幸福的秘诀，因此选项C “幸福的秘诀” 符合最佳标题。故选C。 17. 广东省肇庆市高要区校联考2023-2024学年八年级下学期期末英语试题 Taiwan is famous for its hundreds of night markets.

Over the last year, thirty students between the ages of 21 and 25 took a year off from the university to work on developing the car used for travel off the public road. The car, called Stella Terra, is the first solar-powered car that can travel off-road for long distances without needing a recharging (充电) station. Like most electric cars, Stella Terra stores energy in a battery (电池). Thanks to its powerful solar panels (控制板) and its battery, when it’s sunny, the car can run for 440 miles (710 kilometers) a day. Stella Terra can carry two people, and has a top speed of 90 mph (145 kph). The car weighs just 2,600 pounds (1,200 kilograms). That’s about two-thirds the weight of a typical car. On the bottom, the team designed a system to help the car deal with the hits and heavy shaking that come when driving over rough (凹凸不平的) surfaces. The team recently took the car on its biggest test—a challenging 620-mile (1,000-kilometer) test drive across Morocco. The car had to travel through forests as well as dry riverbeds. It had to drive across loose desert sand and up steep mountain trails. The car succeeded in doing all of this— and all without ever stopping at a charging station. The team is very proud of their car, but they won’t be upset if car companies start to copy their ideas. In fact, they hope that Stella Terra will help give car companies good ideas to work on similar projects. 1．How old are the students that have designed and built a solar-powered car? A．21 years old. B．Between 21 and 25 years old. C．25 years old. D．Between 25 and 30 years old. 2．What does the underlined word “solar-powered” in Paragraph l mean? A．电能的 B．太阳能的 C．汽油的 D．新能源的 3．What do the underline phrases “its biggest test” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．A 440-mile-a-day test drive. B．A 620-mile test drive across Morocco. C．A speed test drive off the public road. D．A power test drive across Morocco. 4．Why won’t the team be upset if car companies start to copy their ideas? A．Because they hope Stella Terra will help car companies to work well on similar projects. B．Because they hope car companies will ask them to work on the similar projects. C．Because they are very proud of Stella Terra, which was designed by themselves. D．Because the car has succeeded in the biggest test drive across Morocco. 5．In what part of the newspaper can we see this passage? A．Science and technology. B．Nature and geography. C．Society and culture. D．Sports and health. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．B 4．A 5．A 【导语】本文介绍了荷兰埃因霍温理工大学的学生团队设计并制造了一款名为Stella Terra的太阳能汽车，可以在不需要充电站的情况下进行长距离越野行驶。 1．细节理解题。根据“Over the last year, thirty students between the ages of 21 and 25 took a year off from the university to work on developing the car used for travel off the public road.”可知，设计并制造由太阳能驱动的汽车的学生，年龄在21岁到25岁之间。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“which is completely powered by the sun.”可知，该汽车由太阳为其提供动力，即该汽车是太阳能汽车，因此“solar-powered”表示“太阳能的”。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据“The team recently took the car on its biggest test—a challenging 620-mile (1,000-kilometer) test drive across Morocco.”可知，该团队最近对该车进行了一次最大的测试——在摩洛哥进行了一次具有挑战性的620英里（1000公里）的试驾。即“its biggest test”指的是“穿越摩洛哥的620英里试驾”。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“In fact, they hope that Stella Terra will help give car companies good ideas to work on similar projects.”可知，他们希望Stella Terra能够帮助汽车公司在类似的项目上提供好的想法。故选A。 5．推理判断题。本文介绍了荷兰埃因霍温理工大学的学生团队设计并制造了一款名为Stella Terra的太阳能汽车，可以在不需要充电站的情况下进行长距离越野行驶。由此推知本文可能会出现在报纸的“科技”板块。故选A。 19. 广东省湛江市经济技术开发区2023-2024学八年级下学期期末考试英语试题 Have you ever ordered a pie and received it from the sky?
