She was only a few months old when her mother left their hometown with her and her sisters during the Second Sudanese Civil War. They had been living in a refugee camp (难民营) neighboring Uganda ever since. Likiso fınally returned in 2015 only to find that her hometown was already part of a new country, South Sudan (南苏丹). Today, 31-year-old Likiso is a host on Radio Miraya. Miraya is the biggest network in South Sudan by far, which means a lot of people depend on it for reliable information. What’s more, Miraya has worked hard to push tor peace in the area. “Radio was the only source (来源) of information and happiness that kept my family going in the refugee camp. My mother would listen to the radio to keep up with what was happening back home. It is this experience that made me want to become a radio host,” Likiso recalled. Recently a sad story shocked her country. A child was killed and her body was found in a toilet. “If that is not difficult to report, then I don’t know what is,” Likiso said. ▲ For example, a young man decided to return home from the refugee camp he was living in to help homeless women. He built houses for them using unused water bottles. “At the time of my interview with him, he had already managed to take 10 women and their children off the streets,” Likiso added. In South Sudan, the radio has been seen as an important tool for providing information for hard-to-reach communities. It not only provides chances for local women and young people to learn about and take part in community events, but also brings hope to those living in instability (不安定). 92．What can we know about Likiso’s early childhood? A．She lived a difficult life with her family. B．She can clearly remember what happened then. C．She had only been in Uganda for a few months. 93．Which of the following is TRUE about Radio Miraya? A．It was set up by Likiso in 2015. B．It’s the only radio station in South Sudan. C．It actively takes part in keeping local peace. 94．What does the underlined part “this experience” refer to (指的是)? A．Having trouble achieving happiness. B．Growing up listening to the radio in the camp. C．Knowing little about what was going on back home. 95．Which sentence can be put in ▲ ? A．Such bad things happen all the time. B．Sew people care about the women and kids. C．Of course, there are also stories that give hope. 96．What does the writer think of the radio in South Sudan? A．Necessary. B．Popular. C．Creative. 【答案】92．A 93．C 94．B 95．C 96．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了利基索的故事。 92．细节理解题。根据“She was only a few months old when her mother left their hometown with her and her sisters during the Second Sudanese Civil War. They had been living in a refugee camp (难民营) neighboring Uganda ever since.”可知，在利基索童年的早期，她和家人过着艰难的生活。故选A。 93．细节理解题。根据“What’s more, Miraya has worked hard to push tor peace in the area.”可知，米拉亚电台积极参与维护当地和平。故选C。 94．词义猜测题。根据“Radio was the only source (来源) of information and happiness that kept my family going in the refugee camp. My mother would listen to the radio to keep up with what was happening back home. It is this experience that made me want to become a radio host”可知，收音机是信息和快乐的唯一来源，让利基索的家人在难民营里活下去，她妈妈会听收音机来了解家里发生的事情。正是这段经历让利基索想成为一名电台主持人，因此划线部分代指的是“在营地听着收音机长大”的经历。故选B。 95．推理判断题。根据“For example, a young man decided to return home from the refugee camp he was living in to help homeless women.”可知，此处描述的是带给人希望的故事，因此空处应该填“当然，也有给人希望的故事。”符合语境。故选C。 96．推理判断题。根据“It not only provides chances for local women and young people to learn about and take part in community events, but also brings hope to those living in instability (不安定).”可知，南苏丹的广播不仅为当地妇女和年轻人提供了了解和参与社区活动的机会，也为生活在不稳定中的人们带来了希望。因此可以推断，作者认为南苏丹的广播是必需的，有必要的。故选A。 Passage22（四川省绵阳市涪城区2023-2024学年八年级下学期期末 ） Dorothy lived with her uncle Henry and aunt Em who were both farmers.

Wukong, the Dark Matter Particle Explorer satellite (暗物质粒子探测卫星), is named after Chinese superhero of Monkey King. According to Journey to the West, Monkey King has a pair of sharp eyes which can tell the difference between good and evil. The Wukong satellite is just as sharp-eyed as Monkey King to help scientists search for dark matter in space. The name of the space station, Tiangong, means “Heavenly Palace”. In Chinese myths, this is the home of Tian Di. Now Tiangong Space Station is a home for Chinese astronauts in space. And China welcomes foreign astronauts to Tiangong so that they can work together. Tianwen, China’s Mars missions (任务), gets its name from the poem Tianwen by Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan is a well-known poet from ancient China. In Tianwen, he had the questions about the sky, stars, nature, myths and the real world, showing his hunger for truth. Perhaps the Tianwen missions will end up answering some of Qu Yuan’s questions. If you look into more names of Chinese space programs, you will find that they all have beautiful meanings. We, the Chinese people, have a long space dream. So the naming of Chinese space programs is treated very importantly. 126．What is the Wukong satellite used for? A．Answering some of Qu Yuan’s questions. B．Finding the difference between good and evil. C．Helping scientists search for dark matter in space.

They make Chinese people's life rich and colourful. Here is one that many people like——Chinese shuttlecock kicking (jianzi). Jianzi has a history of over 2,000 years. It first appeared in the Zhou Dynasty (朝代) when children played it as a creative way to exercise. During the dynasties of Han and Song from 207 to 906 AD, jianzi was getting more and more popular.

Jianzi can be played by several players who stand in a circle, or two sides can play against each other with a net between them. There are also people who like playing jianzi alone. Even when you play by yourself, others may come around and enjoy watching you if you play well. The rule of jianzi is simple: keeping the jianzi in the air by using any part of your body but your hands.

But as these cars take to the streets, we have to ask: are auto-pilot (自动领航) cars a step into a better future, or are they a step we’re not ready to take? Not long ago, cars that drive themselves were just a dream. But now, with smart car makers like XPeng, Tesla and Xiaomi, that dream is closer to reality. Supporters of auto-pilotcars say that they can make our roads much safer and make it easier to travel. Most car accidents happen because people make mistakes or get sleepy, but the computers on cars don’t get tired. Many believe that self-driving cars can also help traffic move better and give people more time to do fun things while traveling. However, even car makers admit that self-driving technology is not perfect—especially with the busy streets, traffic lights, and all other different drivers it has to deal with. People worry about the decisions smart cars would make in uncommon situations. Some think it is easier for human drivers to forget the possible danger in driving. ★ Many drivers still remember the accident in 2021, where a human driver fell asleep behind the wheel and the auto pilot made a wrong decision. What’s more, they are nervous about the personal information these cars might collect. The discussion about self-driving cars is about technology, safety, and how we’ll live in the future. We’ll keep discussing if they’re good for us. Will self-driving cars become common, or will they remind us to be careful with new technology? We’ll see what the future holds. 150．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2? A．The history of auto-pilot cars. B．Supporters’ opinions about auto-pilot cars. C．Auto-pilot cars are a dream come true.

Combining dancing, Chinese martial arts, and Chinese opera, Yingge Dance has been listed as a national-level intangible (非物质的) cultural heritage in China. It’s said that this traditional dance developed from the Nuo Opera (傩戏) performed to drive away evil spirits, welcome the spring, and pray for good luck.

During festivals and celebrations, Yingge dancers, each holding short sticks, dress in colorful costumes, jump up and down, and use props like masks, snakes, and drums to enhance their performances.

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. Chen Laifa, the coach of the Yingge Dance team, wants to show Yingge Dance globally.

You must think it works very quickly and can do everything. Well, it’s not! In fact, the brain is much better than any super computer! Think about when a glass is just about to fall off the table. Your brain controls everything that you need to do to save that glass from falling. Computer could never come close to that! The brain weighs just 3 pounds, but it controls everything you do from thinking, learning, feeling, even to breathing and your heart beating. Even though the brain is just 2% of your body weight, it uses around 20% of all your energy (能量) in your body. That is a lot for such a small organ (器官). Your brain stops growing when you’re 18, but it actually keeps on developing and learning new things. So your parents are really super smart! You won’t be able to fool them! Believe it or not, your brain NEVER stops working. Even during sleeping, the brain works for long-term memory establishment (建立). It is realized that the brain is the second organ in the body as the heart that never stops during human lives. People want to make the brain work well. Dr Catherine Loveday says, “Even if people take up languages or other activities later in life, it will provide them with some protection.” As an old saying goes, “It’s never too old to learn.” 170．In Paragraph 1, the writer wants to tell us ________. A．eyes and muscles react quickly B．the brain is stronger than any computer C．the computer is the best thing in the world 171．The underlined word “That” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.

According to Journey to the West, Monkey King has a pair of sharp eyes which can tell the difference between good and evil. The Wukong satellite is just as sharp-eyed as Monkey King to help scientists search for dark matter in space. The name of the space station, Tiangong, means “Heavenly Palace”. In Chinese myths, this is the home of Tian Di. Now Tiangong Space Station is a home for Chinese astronauts in space. And China welcomes foreign astronauts to Tiangong so that they can work together. Tianwen, China’s Mars missions (任务), gets its name from the poem Tianwen by Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan is a well-known poet from ancient China. In Tianwen, he had the questions about the sky, stars, nature, myths and the real world, showing his hunger for truth. Perhaps the Tianwen missions will end up answering some of Qu Yuan’s questions. If you look into more names of Chinese space programs, you will find that they all have beautiful meanings. We, the Chinese people, have a long space dream. So the naming of Chinese space programs is treated very importantly. 126．What is the Wukong satellite used for? A．Answering some of Qu Yuan’s questions. B．Finding the difference between good and evil. C．Helping scientists search for dark matter in space. D．Welcoming foreign astronauts to the space station. 127．What does the underlined word “myths” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese?

Passage29（四川省广安市武胜县2023-2024学年八年级下学期期末 ） Traditional Chinese sports are part of the traditional Chinese culture. They make Chinese people's life rich and colourful. Here is one that many people like——Chinese shuttlecock kicking (jianzi). Jianzi has a history of over 2,000 years. It first appeared in the Zhou Dynasty (朝代) when children played it as a creative way to exercise. During the dynasties of Han and Song from 207 to 906 AD, jianzi was getting more and more popular. Even emperors (皇帝) used this game to train armies (军队). In 1933, the first national jianzi competition took place in China. Later a 1961 movie about jianzi won a prize at an international movie festival. Now jianzi is one of the most popular outdoor activities, not only for children, but also for older people. Jianzi can be played by several players who stand in a circle, or two sides can play against each other with a net between them. There are also people who like playing jianzi alone. Even when you play by yourself, others may come around and enjoy watching you if you play well. The rule of jianzi is simple: keeping the jianzi in the air by using any part of your body but your hands. Nowadays jianzi toys are very common and they are available (可获得的) both online and at sports stores in town. Why not buy one and take up jianzi as a hobby? 130．What did emperors use jianzi to do?

TV is one of them. Many people enjoy watching TV for fun.Some even believe that TV has made their children clever because there are all kinds of information on it—news, sports, music and language. Children can learn a lot from TV in a short time without going out. Many parents are happy about this because they themselves are too busy to spend time with their children. But we have found that more and more children today have problems with reading, thinking and concentrating (集中注意力) even though they have watched a lot of TV. In fact, getting much information from TV does not mean real learning. Children who watch too much TV do not have enough time to think. What children need most is their parents. Parents give children love, and help them solve problems in the right way. We should teach our children what real life is without TV. 135．What do many people enjoy watching TV to do? A．To have fun.

Here comes the “bus”! For some kids in Barcelona, Spain, the way they go to school on Friday has become a little different. In September, five children in Eixample, Barcelona, started up a “bike bus” program. Each Friday, they ride their bikes to school with their parents. Each time before doing so, they post their route (路线) online for other people to see. Anyone who wishes to join them can do so. The group has quickly grown to hundreds of riders. The bike bus begins at about 8 a. m. every Friday and lasts for about 25 minutes. There are a few schools along the route. When students reach their school, they leave the “bus” and park their bikes. Instead of riding only in bike lanes (车道), the bike bus takes over the whole (整个的) street. The local police support the program. They ensure (确保) the safety of the kids and parents by riding in front of the group and behind it. Before the bike bus program, it wasn’t very safe for kids in Eixample to go to school by bike.

It tells the story of Yang Liwei and his trip to space. As we all know, Yang Liwei is China’s first astronaut to fly into space. Yang was born on June, 21st, 1965 in the city of Huludao, Liaoning province. When he was 38 years old, he took Shenzhou-5 spaceship to space. To help people get to know the Chinese space hero better and learn about his trip to space, the picture book was born. It is based on Yang’s autobiography (自传) Long March to Space. In 2021, One Day in Space, a passage from Yang’s book, was included in the seventh-grade textbook in Chinese middle schools. Yang Liwei left for space at 9:00 on the morning of October 15th, 2003 and came back to the earth at 6:23 on the afternoon of October 16th. During the 21-hour stay in space, he flew around the earth 14 times. With great pictures and simple words, the book tells an exciting story as well as space science in an interesting way. From the book, we know that it is really ______ for people to travel in space. There is no gravity (重力) in space, so people don’t feel comfortable. Yang’s story tells us that nothing is impossible for a willing heart. Wu Xiaoxi from the BSTP (北京科技出版社) came up with the idea of writing such a book. “There is a surprise in the book for readers—a picture of a rabbit looking at the moon,” Wu says. “China plans to send people to the moon by 2030.

Passage33（四川省绵阳市江油市2023-2024学年八年级下学期期末 ） More and more car makers are introducing smart cars that can drive themselves. But as these cars take to the streets, we have to ask: are auto-pilot (自动领航) cars a step into a better future, or are they a step we’re not ready to take? Not long ago, cars that drive themselves were just a dream. But now, with smart car makers like XPeng, Tesla and Xiaomi, that dream is closer to reality. Supporters of auto-pilotcars say that they can make our roads much safer and make it easier to travel. Most car accidents happen because people make mistakes or get sleepy, but the computers on cars don’t get tired. Many believe that self-driving cars can also help traffic move better and give people more time to do fun things while traveling. However, even car makers admit that self-driving technology is not perfect—especially with the busy streets, traffic lights, and all other different drivers it has to deal with. People worry about the decisions smart cars would make in uncommon situations. Some think it is easier for human drivers to forget the possible danger in driving. ★ Many drivers still remember the accident in 2021, where a human driver fell asleep behind the wheel and the auto pilot made a wrong decision. What’s more, they are nervous about the personal information these cars might collect. The discussion about self-driving cars is about technology, safety, and how we’ll live in the future. We’ll keep discussing if they’re good for us. Will self-driving cars become common, or will they remind us to be careful with new technology?

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 and a few parts of Hong Kong, China. Combining dancing, Chinese martial arts, and Chinese opera, Yingge Dance has been listed as a national-level intangible (非物质的) cultural heritage in China. It’s said that this traditional dance developed from the Nuo Opera (傩戏) performed to drive away evil spirits, welcome the spring, and pray for good luck.

You must think it works very quickly and can do everything. Well, it’s not! In fact, the brain is much better than any super computer! Think about when a glass is just about to fall off the table. Your brain controls everything that you need to do to save that glass from falling. Computer could never come close to that! The brain weighs just 3 pounds, but it controls everything you do from thinking, learning, feeling, even to breathing and your heart beating. Even though the brain is just 2% of your body weight, it uses around 20% of all your energy (能量) in your body. That is a lot for such a small organ (器官). Your brain stops growing when you’re 18, but it actually keeps on developing and learning new things. So your parents are really super smart! You won’t be able to fool them! Believe it or not, your brain NEVER stops working. Even during sleeping, the brain works for long-term memory establishment (建立). It is realized that the brain is the second organ in the body as the heart that never stops during human lives. People want to make the brain work well.

Passage39（四川省成都市邛崃市2023-2024学年八年级下学期期末 ）     Hummingbirds are the smallest birds in the world. However, they can fly faster than 45 miles in one hour because they can move their wings about 8 to 200 times a second. How do they fly? Most birds move their wings up and down. But hummingbirds’ wings move backward and forward. So they can fly to the front and even to the back. But flying makes them tired so they have to eat almost every ten minutes.     Koalas are one of the longest-sleeping animals in the world. They spend most of the lifetime sleeping. Their sharp claws help them not fall off trees when sleeping. Koalas’ food is special. They only eat eucalyptus leaves which are highly toxic. If other animals eat them, they will die. Luckily, their strong stomachs can break down the toxic things! A koala can eat a large amount of these leaves each day.     Hippos are crazy about water because their life depends on it. For them, staying in water is the only way to keep cool. Most of the time they don’t swim. They just walk in the rivers or lakes. A hippo’s nose, ears and eyes are on the top of its head. This way it can breathe, see and hear while its body is in the water. Hippos don’t have fur, so they are easily hurt by the sunlight. That’s why we can’t see them on land during the day.
