Do you think you would enjoy following the lives of people in ancient China? If so, you can try A New Account of Tales of the World (《世说新语》). It’s said that the scholar (学者) Liu Yiqing finished this book. In this book, there are more than 600 characters, such as writers, painters, musicians, and other artists living during the Han, Wei and Jin dynasties. Some describe what the characters look like. Some are about what the characters are good at. Some tell readers why the characters think this way. Each story has its own topic but every article has something in common — showing someone’s most special traits. And all the characters in the book are real in history. The book has 1,130 small stories about these characters. Many stories are one hundred words long or even shorter. And many stories may not be facts. They might come from another novel. Or people heard something about one character and then it became a story in this book. It sounds like A New Account of Tales of the World is simply a storybook. But in fact, many scholars like Lu Xun ever talked about how important this book was. Well, how does this special book have its place in Chinese literature (文学)? First, it’s the earliest book of this kind so it became something special in the Chinese literature’s development. Second, although the stories are short, they help make readers think seriously about their life or something else. The book has much to say about both the large and the small thoughts of life. 1． 2． 3． 4． 5． Passage2（四川省成都市成华区2023-2024学年八年级下学期期末 ） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成表格中所缺的信息。 In our life, many people may have a mental (心理的) problem. Some people may get over it, but others may not go away easily. The World Health Organization (WHO) says that about 20 percent of teenagers around the world are having mental problems. It predicts that the number will be much larger years later. In China, the situation isn’t good, either. About 10 percent of teenagers under 17 have a mental problem. “These days, students spend most of their time studying and building up relationships with classmates and teachers. With more people, the competition is harder at school,” the WHO said. A study also found that students’ unhappiness came from the Internet. “Online, teenagers often see messages about perfection (完美) and these make them get worried about themselves for not being the best. But they shouldn’t worry about such things at all,” said an expert. Some doctors also say that teenagers don’t ask for help when they have mental problems. They are afraid that others will laugh at them. And in the UK, over 75 percent of teenagers believe having mental problems is their own problem. A study showed in 2017 that a quarter of teenagers in the UK wouldn’t ask for help if they had a mental problem. “I don’t want others, even the doctors, to know what I’m thinking. So, I may help myself out,” some teenagers said. “These people may be creating problems for themselves in the future,” the expert said. “My advice for teenagers is, if you feel something is wrong, just ask for help. The earlier you ask, the better you will get.” Title: How to face 6 The problem Around the world: about 20 percent of teenagers are having it. · In China: About 10 percent of teenagers under 17 have it.

Passage3（四川省成都市天府新区2023-2024学年八年级下学期期末 ） 阅读下面短文，根据其内容，完成表格中所缺的信息，并将答案填写在答题卡相应题号后。 A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, and a bad memory as something that cannot be changed. People can make their memories better by some skills. Take an interest. We all remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that are boring. This explains the reason why students can remember football results but have no idea with dates of their history lessons! Take an active interest in what you want to remember, and focus on it. One most useful way to make yourself more interested in something is to ask questions. The more, the better! Repeat (重复) things. It is the best way to remember things for a short time. For example, remembering a phone number for a few seconds. Grouping numbers may help you to remember them. For example, the following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919318483. But look at them in “grouping numbers”, and it becomes much easier: 1492 1789 1931 8483. Another way to remember something well is visualization (可视化). Draw a picture in your mind, and the stranger the picture is, the better you will remember it! Drawing mind maps is also helpful to remember something well. When you can remember the picture or the mind map, you can remember the most information. Invent a story. To remember long lists, try inventing a story which includes all the items you want to remember. In experiments (实验), people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this skill. When they were tested afterwards, on average (平均) they could remember ninety percent! Organize your ideas. If you can organize what you want to know as a whole, you can understand better when you learn more about that subject. Make well-organized notes and be sure things are clear in your mind. If not, ask questions until you understand it! The skills to 11 people’s memory Take an interest People can make themselves more interested in something by 12 . Repeat things It provides how 13 helps remember a phone number fast as an example. Visualization Drawing a picture or mind maps are very helpful to remember things well. Invent a story Among 14 items, people can remember 90 items by inventing on average. Organize ideas Organizing your ideas 15 helps to keep things clear in your mind.

When Darwin was young, he didn’t do well at school though he was smart. But he was a good sports player, enjoyed walking and loved learning about nature and collecting sea shells. His father was a doctor and expected Charles to be one, too. So Charles started studying medicine at Edinburgh University in 1825 but gave it up in 1827. Then he studied religion (神学) at Cambridge University from 1828 to 1831, where he spent most time collecting beetles instead of studying. In 1831, at the age of 22, Darwin went on a journey from England to South America, Australia, South Africa and other countries by ship. He didn’t feel well on the ship but this journey changed his life as he collected many fossils (化石), animals, and plants along the way. The ship finally went back to England safely in 1836. Then he spent the rest of his life studying what he had seen and collected and wrote many books. His most famous book, On the Origin of Species, came out in 1859 and sold out in one day. He said that species evolve (进化) and change over time. At that time, people’s understanding of the natural world was not good enough. After reading the book, people got to know that some living things can get used to the environment better and this makes it possible for them to better live on. It’s called natural selection (选择). Today, Charles Darwin still encourages new scientists. His spirit goes on, and he’ll always be seen as a great scientist in history. 31． 32． 33． 34． 35． Passage8（四川省成都市青羊区2023-2024学年八年级下学期期末 ） 阅读下面短文， 完成题后的表格。 Stress Before a Test Many people experience stress before an exam.

Passage9（四川省成都市高新技术产业开发区2023-2024学年八年级下学期期末 ） 根据短文内容，完成图表中所缺信息。 In China, it’s common to see people on the streets using their fans to beat the heat in summer. However, the traditional Chinese fan is not just a tool for cooling down, but a symbol of traditional Chinese culture. The history of Chinese fans goes back to the Shang Dynasty (about 1600 B．C~1046 B．C). One of the earliest fans was known as Shanhan. It was a bit like today’s umbrella. It was tied (系) to a carriage (马车) to keep people away from the strong sunshine and rainfall. Later, Shanhan developed into a long-handled fan called Zhangshan (障扇). In fact, the fan was not used to help people cool down until the Zhou Dynasty. At that time, fans were usually made of birds’ feathers and mainly used by the emperors. Later, bamboo fans and cattail-leaf fans (蒲扇) were invented during the Han Dynasty. Both were most popular among the common people during the Song Dynasty. Years later, the folding fan was introduced. As this kind of fan could be easily folded and carried, it soon became popular. However, the best thing of a folding fan was the pictures on it. If a famous person painted the fan, it could cost a lot of money. For example, a folding fan painted by Zhang Daqian was sold for $252,000. Qi Baishi and Xu Beihong were also well known. Throughout history, Chinese fans have stood the test of time. Today, there are more than 500 kinds of fans in China, attracting (吸引) a great number of fan lovers both at home and abroad. However, it’s difficult to carry on our traditional skills of making fans among young people now for many reasons. Luckily, Tag Design made a meaningful try. It developed an app “Folding Fan” which introduces the skills for making traditional folding fans. With the help of technology, these fan-making skills are surely able to stay alive forever. 41． 42． 43． 44． 45． Passage10（四川省绵阳市游仙区2023-2024学年八年级下学期期末 ） 某校将举行“环境保护周”活动。根据以下垃圾分类图完成“×××学校垃圾分类倡议书”，每空限填一词。 Recyclable WastePaper: newspapers, magazines, books Metal(金属): iron, copper Glass: glass bottles, other glass Plastic(塑料): plastic bottles Wet WasteLeftovers(残羹) Vegetables Fruit Leaves Harmful WasteBatteries(电池) Bulbs(灯泡) Cosmetics(化妆品) Medicine Dry WasteNon-recyclable paper: paper cups, photos and albums, copy paper, postcards, toilet paper Others: clothes, plastic bags Help Sort(分类) the Waste As we all know, waste sorting is a big matter around the world.

Some people may get over it, but others may not go away easily. The World Health Organization (WHO) says that about 20 percent of teenagers around the world are having mental problems. It predicts that the number will be much larger years later. In China, the situation isn’t good, either. About 10 percent of teenagers under 17 have a mental problem. “These days, students spend most of their time studying and building up relationships with classmates and teachers. With more people, the competition is harder at school,” the WHO said. A study also found that students’ unhappiness came from the Internet. “Online, teenagers often see messages about perfection (完美) and these make them get worried about themselves for not being the best. But they shouldn’t worry about such things at all,” said an expert. Some doctors also say that teenagers don’t ask for help when they have mental problems. They are afraid that others will laugh at them. And in the UK, over 75 percent of teenagers believe having mental problems is their own problem. A study showed in 2017 that a quarter of teenagers in the UK wouldn’t ask for help if they had a mental problem. “I don’t want others, even the doctors, to know what I’m thinking. So, I may help myself out,” some teenagers said. “These people may be creating problems for themselves in the future,” the expert said. “My advice for teenagers is, if you feel something is wrong, just ask for help. The earlier you ask, the better you will get.” Title: How to face 6 The problem Around the world: about 20 percent of teenagers are having it. · In China: About 10 percent of teenagers under 17 have it.

Another way to remember something well is visualization (可视化). Draw a picture in your mind, and the stranger the picture is, the better you will remember it! Drawing mind maps is also helpful to remember something well. When you can remember the picture or the mind map, you can remember the most information. Invent a story.

When Darwin was young, he didn’t do well at school though he was smart. But he was a good sports player, enjoyed walking and loved learning about nature and collecting sea shells. His father was a doctor and expected Charles to be one, too. So Charles started studying medicine at Edinburgh University in 1825 but gave it up in 1827. Then he studied religion (神学) at Cambridge University from 1828 to 1831, where he spent most time collecting beetles instead of studying. In 1831, at the age of 22, Darwin went on a journey from England to South America, Australia, South Africa and other countries by ship. He didn’t feel well on the ship but this journey changed his life as he collected many fossils (化石), animals, and plants along the way. The ship finally went back to England safely in 1836. Then he spent the rest of his life studying what he had seen and collected and wrote many books. His most famous book, On the Origin of Species, came out in 1859 and sold out in one day. He said that species evolve (进化) and change over time. At that time, people’s understanding of the natural world was not good enough. After reading the book, people got to know that some living things can get used to the environment better and this makes it possible for them to better live on. It’s called natural selection (选择). Today, Charles Darwin still encourages new scientists.

Actually, a little nervousness can help you perform your best. However, when this stress becomes so excessive (过度的) that it really influences performance on an exam, it is known as test stress. There are a few causes of test stress. ● Fear of failure. If you care too much about your scores, the pressure car cause test stress. ● Poor testing history. If you have done poorly on tests before, either because you don’t study well enough or because you are so stressed, you can’t remember the answers easily. ●Unpreparedness. If you don’t work hard enough, this can add to your feeling of stress. Does exam stress influence your grades? If so, I’ll share with you a scientific tip to help overcome it. —Clear your room and your desk. Have you heard the saying “A cluttered (杂乱的) desk is a sign of a cluttered mind?” It’s scientifically correct. More clutter around your work space makes it more difficult to be able to focus on preparing for the exam. This is because physical clutter weakens your ability to think. So you need to clear your desk and your room. Do the following to get organized. ● Reduce as much clutter as you can around your work space. Throw away anything that doesn’t need to be there, e. g. photos, snacks. ● Use drawers. Store things away in your drawers. The only things you should have on your desk are the tools and books you need. ● Clean your space. Since you’ve cleared your space, give your desk and room a good clean. I believe that if you follow my tips, you’ll become a calmer and more successful student.

However, the traditional Chinese fan is not just a tool for cooling down, but a symbol of traditional Chinese culture. The history of Chinese fans goes back to the Shang Dynasty (about 1600 B．C~1046 B．C). One of the earliest fans was known as Shanhan. It was a bit like today’s umbrella. It was tied (系) to a carriage (马车) to keep people away from the strong sunshine and rainfall. Later, Shanhan developed into a long-handled fan called Zhangshan (障扇). In fact, the fan was not used to help people cool down until the Zhou Dynasty. At that time, fans were usually made of birds’ feathers and mainly used by the emperors. Later, bamboo fans and cattail-leaf fans (蒲扇) were invented during the Han Dynasty. Both were most popular among the common people during the Song Dynasty. Years later, the folding fan was introduced. As this kind of fan could be easily folded and carried, it soon became popular. However, the best thing of a folding fan was the pictures on it. If a famous person painted the fan, it could cost a lot of money. For example, a folding fan painted by Zhang Daqian was sold for $252,000. Qi Baishi and Xu Beihong were also well known. Throughout history, Chinese fans have stood the test of time. Today, there are more than 500 kinds of fans in China, attracting (吸引) a great number of fan lovers both at home and abroad. However, it’s difficult to carry on our traditional skills of making fans among young people now for many reasons. Luckily, Tag Design made a meaningful try. It developed an app “Folding Fan” which introduces the skills for making traditional folding fans. With the help of technology, these fan-making skills are surely able to stay alive forever. 41． 42． 43． 44． 45． 【答案】41．Importance/Use and meaning/Purpose(s)/Uses/Meaning 42．protection/protecting people 43．famous/well-known persons’/artists’/painters’ 44．(widely) popular/(deeply) loved/welcome 45． (to) keep/make/pass alive/down 【导语】本文讲述了扇子的发展历史。 41．根据“the traditional Chinese fan is not just a tool for cooling down, but a symbol of traditional Chinese culture.”可知，中国传统的扇子不仅仅是一种降温的工具，而是中国传统文化的象征。空处描述的是扇子的用途和重要性。故填Importance/Use and meaning/Purpose(s)/Uses/Meaning。 42．根据“It was tied to a carriage to keep people away from the strong sunshine and rainfall.”可知，它被绑在马车上，让人们远离强烈的阳光和雨水。空处应表达远离，protect against为固定搭配；并且空前介词for后面需要接名词。故填protection/protecting people。 43．根据“If a famous person painted the fan, it could cost a lot of money.

Qi Baishi and Xu Beihong were also well known.”可知，如果一个名人画了这把扇子，这把扇子可能会值很多钱。比如张大千画的一把折扇，卖到了25.2万美元。齐白石和徐悲鸿也很有名。空处应表达名人的画。故填famous/well-known persons’/artists’/painters’。 44．根据“Today, there are more than 500 kinds of fans in China, attracting a great number of fan lovers both at home and abroad. ”可知，今天，中国有500多种扇子，吸引了国内外众多的扇子爱好者。空处应表达在国内外流行。故填(widely) popular/(deeply) loved/welcome 45．根据“It developed an app ‘Folding Fan’ which introduces the skills for making traditional folding fans.
