In March, the small city received about 4. 8 million tourists. It is certainly not the only city that offers barbecue, or even the most famous one, but its seemingly sudden fame was steps in the making. Zhou Maosong, president of Zibo Tourism Promotion Association said the popularity (流行，受欢迎) started from the crowd-gathering effect of cultural and tourism activities including a music festival. Then famous people tasted the barbecue and put their experiences online attracting young people, which led to a wave of students from neighbouring cities visiting Zibo. What better way to attract adventurous (爱冒险的) and hungry college students other than “tasty barbecue that makes you full within only 50 yuan!” However, Zibo did not fall into the trap (陷阱) of easy fame that dies fast where sellers cheat buyers on price and quality for the most profit (盈利) in the shortest time. A blogger on Douyin took an electronic scale (电子秤) to ten barbecue stands in Ziboto test if he would be offered less food. It turned out that not a single one was caught short of weight and some owners even offered him local snacks for free. Local people’s honest and friendly behaviour touched even more people online and again lifted the city’s popularity. Zibo’s successful story has inspired governments in other parts of the country to find their ways of supporting local businesses. 1．Where is Zibo? 2．How many tourists did Zibo receive in March? 3．Who is Zhou Maosong? 4．What touched the tourists and even more people online? 5．If you go to Zibo, what will you do there? 3.（23-24八年级下·江苏淮安·期末） 根据短文内容，回答问题 (每题答案不超过8个词)。 “Dream of Winter, Love among Asia”, a short track speed (短道速滑) skater and two tigers... The slogan (口号), the emblem (会徽) and mascots (吉祥物) for the 9th Asian Winter Games finally came out. Good news! The games will be held in Harbin, Heilongjiang in 2025.

In the emblem, the short track speed skater represents the sports spirit of the players across Asia. The lilac, the flower of Harbin, symbolizes (象征) Harbin’s city culture of warm heartedness (热心). And the red sun represents the wish of Asian countries to go after progress and peace. The emblem allows people to easily see the time and place of the sports event.

Harbin, and “ni” shares the same pronunciation as “you” in Chinese. The two names show the meaning of the words “Harbin welcomes you”. Besides, Binbin is a mascot representing ice sports.

Tom and the other men walked all the way to the plantation. They stopped in front of a house. It was large, but it looked empty and uncomfortable, the glass of some windows were broken and there were bits of wood and boxes on the ground. Two slaves, Sambo and Quimbo, were Legree’s two main helpers on the plantation, and they arrived with dogs. “Don’t try to run away,’’ said Legree to Tom and the others, “or the dogs will follow you.” “Sambo,’’ said Legree, “take these new slaves down to the cabins.” The slaves followed Sambo to the cabins. They were in a row, near the plantation and far from the house. Tom’s heart sank when he saw them. Each one had only one room, without any furniture. They had to wait in line for their turn to cook a very poor meal. Then they all went to sleep on the floor in the cabins. Every day, from early in the morning until late in the evening, under the hot sun the slaves picked cotton. When they finished, Legree weighed it, and there was whipping (鞭打) for the slaves who didn’t pick enough cotton. Tom learnt to pick cotton quickly. One day, Tom noticed an older slave Martha was in pain and slow. Her sack was almost empty. Tom went near Martha, and silently put a lot of his cotton into her sack. “No, don’t!” said the woman, looking surprised. “They will punish you.” Just then Sambo arrived, kicked Martha and whipped Tom across his face. Martha fell down. “Work faster, you animal!” But when he left, Tom quickly gave her some more of his cotton. Suddenly, the beautiful new woman put a large quantity of cotton in Tom’s sack.

That book ends like this: my best friend, Tom Sawyer, and I found 12,000 in gold in a cave. We became rich. We got $6,000 each. My mother died long ago and then my dad, Pap, disappeared. He was always drunk and he often beat me. Then a kind old lady called Widow Douglas took me into her home to live. She gave me a bed to sleep in and bought new clothes for me. She read stories to me and taught me how to eat at a table. She sent me to school every day. I hated those new clothes. I missed my old life. I put on my old clothes and ran away and was free and happy, but Tom Sawyer found me and said that if I wanted to join his club, I would have to return to live with the widow. For this reason, I returned to live with her. The months passed and winter came. The weather got cold. One morning I woke up and there was snow on the ground. On my way to school I saw some footprints outside the widow’s house. My heart jumped. Pap! “He’s heard about my money,” I thought. “And he wants it!” When I lit my candle and went up to my room that night, there sat Pap—his own self? I expected to be scared of him now, but I wasn’t. I stood looking at him; he set there—looking at me. Pap was nearly fifty years old. His black hair was long and uncombed and dirty. He had allowed hair to grow on his face, which was ghostly white. Just looking at the ugly white skin made me feel sick. His clothes? —dirty and torn. His feet showed through large holes in his shoes. His hat was on the floor—an old black hat with a large hole in it. —Taken from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn 1．Who is telling the story? 2．How did Tom and Huck become rich? 3．Why did Widow Douglas take Huck in to live with her? 4．Why did Huck return to live with Widow Douglas? 5．What is Huck’s father like in your eyes?

We all know that green vegetables are healthy, but what about other foods of different colors? You don’t need to like all food, but it is good to have different colors in your diet, for example, red food such as strawberries and tomatoes, yellow food such as bananas and pears, and orange food such as carrots and oranges. But what about the blue food? A few years ago, a food company added the color blue to its bags of sweets. Children like the color blue, so were the blue sweets popular? The food company was surprised to find that they were very unpopular. Children still liked the sweets that have the usual colors of red, green, brown, yellow and orange better. How many blue meats or vegetables do you know? None? There are few natural blue foods—it isn’t a common natural food color. Some scientists say that as a result, our brain doesn’t treat blue food as something healthy. This is why we don’t usually use blue food coloring for drinks, cakes and other food. Some people say we eat with our eyes. The idea is that we need to like the looks of the food before we try it. I wanted to test this idea and so I asked some friends to have a very unusual lunch. My husband and I made some eggs on toast and put blue coloring in them. The result is that nobody ate them. My guests refused to put the blue eggs in their mouths! So will we ever see blue food on our plates? The answer seems to be “no”, at least in countries like the UK and the USA． 根据短文内容回答问题 (每小题答案不超过10个单词)。 1．Do people need to like all food?     2．What colors of sweets did the children like better? 3．Why don’t people usually use blue food coloring for drinks, cakes and other food? 4．How did the writer test the idea that people eat with their eyes? 5．What do you think of blue food? 7.（23-24八年级下·江苏扬州·期末） 阅读下列短文，根据短文中的信息回答问题。(每题答案不超过5个词) “Even the hardest life must be lived brightly!” This is one of the famous lines from the hit TV show To the Wonder (《我的阿勒泰》). In the show, herdsmen (牧民) in Altay, Xinjiang, move to new grasslands. Herdsmen move as the seasons change. In spring around April, herdsmen take their livestock (牲畜) halfway up the mountain. In summer, livestock will be moved to the top of the mountain for greener grass. In autumn, they come down from the mountain to spend the winter. Wulijiang Qialihaer, 13, has seen her grandparents and dad go through this cycle every year. “Before they leave, they usually take everything they need to the top of the mountain, including food and clothing.” Qialihaer said. “We have more than 200 heads of livestock. ” When her dad was a boy, her grandparents usually picked one or two children of theirs to go with them. The rest stayed at home for school. However, now for Qialihaer, she only goes to the mountaintop when it’s summer vacation. “I enjoy the beautiful views along the way, the sky, the grass and the clouds,” Qialihaer said. For Aybol, 14, his family has a faster way to move: riding a truck. “I wake up at six in the morning. Dad puts the cows and sheep on the trucks. Mom packs my favorite milk food and dried meat,” Aybol said. “We won’t forget to take our yurt (毡房) with us.” Although there are no cartoons or video games in the mountains, Aybol doesn’t feel bored at all. “My friends also come with their families as our yurts are close together. We usually ride horses and look for squirrels in the trees.” Aybol said. 1．Why do herdsmen move down from the mountain in autumn? 2．What do Qialihaer’s grandparents and dad take to the mountain top? 3．When does Qialihaer go to the mountaintop? 4．How does Aybol’s family move into the mountains? 5．How does Aybol like the life in the mountains? 8.（23-24八年级下·江苏连云港·期末） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题，每个题目的答案不超过5个单词。 Hi Anna, You’ll never guess what!

I’m China’s newest aircraft carrier (航空母舰), Type 003. People also call me the Fujian. It took six years to build me, and the construction was completed on June 17, 2022, in Shanghai. I have two elder brothers, Type 001, the Liaoning, and Type 002, the Shandong. As you may have noticed, I’ve followed the family tradition of being named after a province. But I’m quite different from my brothers. To begin with, I was 100% designed and built by Chinese hands. This is a first for my country. I’m also much bigger than the Liaoning and the Shandong. My flight deck (飞行甲板) is much larger. And just guess how heavy I am! When I’m fully loaded (装载), I weigh around 100,000 tonnes! Moreover, I have been given a lot of cool technologies. My brothers use the “ski-jump” method for launching aircraft. That means you can find a ramp (坡道) at the end of their short runways. I work differently. I have three Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch Systems (飞机电磁弹射系统). They allow planes to take off at higher speeds. I can also launch larger and heavier aircraft than my brothers. During my eight days at sea, experts ran many different tests on me. They wanted to see if I could work well.

Her first interaction with people with disability was with one of her neighbours, surnamed Wang. Liu was a child then. One day in the winter, when Liu was playing in her house, Wang used sign language to communicate with her. But Liu couldn’t understand what she was trying to say. It was Wang’s husband who told Liu that she wanted to make her a scarf. “Even as a child, I was moved by her kind gesture, and thought it would be great if she could speak,” Liu said. The incident left an unforgettable mark on Liu. At the age of 14, she decided to major in teaching hearing-impaired (听力受损的) students, and later enrolled in Nanjing Normal University of Special Education. After four years, she graduated with a secondary vocational (职业的) degree and became a teacher at Hengyang Normal School of Special Education, and taught Chinese language to first graders. Although she was young at the time, she treated the students as her children, and practiced sign language in front of the mirror for one to two hours every day till she mastered it. With great care and patience, she also taught the students how to wash their face and clothes, and cut their nails, gradually becoming the “mother” of the students. In 2005, at the age of 32, Liu gave birth to her own child. But the child, a boy, was diagnosed with congenital (先天性的) hearing impairment when he was seven months old. Concerned that she would need time to overcome the shock, Liu’s colleagues requested her to take a break from teaching and take her son to Changsha, capital of Hunan province, for treatment. But she refused to do so, partly because such treatments are a long-term process. Instead, she began teaching a new class, because she didn’t want to leave the students alone, and decided to provide therapy for the child herself after work. Thanks to Liu’s tireless efforts, her son could make some sound after several months of training, and her students showed great improvement. “Whenever they managed to say ‘mom’ or ‘dad’ for the first time, I felt it was the sweetest sound in the world,” Liu Lingli said. 1．What did Wang want to say to Liu in sign language one day in the winter? 2．When did Liu become a teacher at Hengyang Normal School of Special Education? 3．How did Liu improve her sign language before she mastered it? 4．Why did Liu decide to provide therapy for her own child herself? 5．What can we learn from Liu according to the passage?  (请自拟一句话作答) 13.（23-24八年级下·江苏南通·期末） 阅读表达 阅读下面短文，完成短文后的问题。 How much do you know about Chinese oil-paper umbrellas? They are not just tools (工具) to keep people away from rain or sunlight, but also works of art (艺术品) with rich cultural meaning in China. Chinese oil-paper umbrellas are one of the world’s oldest umbrellas. According to historical records, the first oil-paper umbrella came out during the Eastern Han Dynasty. They soon became very popular, especially among the literati (文人). They loved to write and draw on the umbrella to show their literacy tastes and painting skills. Oil-paper umbrellas are a necessary part of traditional Chinese weddings (婚礼). A red oil-paper umbrella is needed when the bride (新娘) goes into the groom’s home. That’s because people believe the umbrella can help stop bad luck. Also, the sound of oil-paper in Chinese sounds like “youzi”, which means having more children. It takes quite a lot of time and effort to make a Chinese oil-paper umbrella by hand. Luzhou in southwest China’s Sichuan Province is now the only main production place for handmade oil-paper umbrellas in China. There, craftsmen (手艺人) must complete more than 90 steps and use over 100 different tools to make a single umbrella. With all their efforts, a traditional oil-paper umbrella made in Luzhou can stand strong winds and 3,000 openings and closings. 1．Do people use oil-paper umbrellas on sunny days? 2．When did the first oil-paper umbrella appear? 3．Why did the literati (文人) love to write and draw on the umbrella? 4．How many times can an oil-paper umbrella made by hand in Luzhou open and close? 5．What do you think of the oil-paper umbrella? 14.（22-23八年级下·江苏淮安·期末） Every year, the Touching China Award recognizes (认可) people who have made significant contributions (贡献) to society through their work and actions.

It makes us wonder if scientists can send a man to the moon, why can’t they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy. There are actually different cold viruses(病毒) out there. You never know which one you will get, so there isn’t a cure for each one. When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose and causes a block in it. You feel terrible because you can’t breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells(细胞). You may feel very uncomfortable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold. Different people do different things to deal with colds. In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might have chicken soup to help them get over the cold. Some people take medicine to stop different symptoms(症状) of colds. There is one interesting thing to note - some scientists say taking medicine when you have a cold is actually bad for you.

This makes it one of four global (全球的) satellite navigation systems, together with the United States’ GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo. China started to develop the BDS in 1994. The system came into use in 2000. After 12 years of work, it began working for the Asia-Pacific part. In 2020, with the global use of BDS-3, China has improved the system to provide users with more correct positioning (定位) services, making it an important tool for more industries (行业), including transportation, agriculture, and surveying. Now, with 59 satellites in its network, the BDS has served more than 1.5 billion users across the world. Most mobile apps providing maps, navigation and shopping services in China already support the BDS. China’s satellite navigation industry is growing fast. Its value (价值) reached more than 500 billion yuan in 2022. That number may double by 2025. In the first half year of 2023, there were about 13.4 million new BDS devices (设备). Nearly 60% were used in transport systems. The rest were used in communication and agriculture. As BDS gets more popular, it is expected to play an important role in global navigation and positioning services. 1．How many global satellite navigation systems are there now? 2．When did China start to develop the BDS? 3．Why has China improved the system? 4．Where were 60% of the new BDS devices used? 5．As a teenager, how do you feel after reading the passage? 17.（23-24八年级下·江苏盐城·期末） The Yangtze River, about 6,300 kilometres long, is the longest river in Asia. It provides a lifeline for hundreds of millions of people. It covers an area of 1.8 million square kilometres, about a fifth of the national total. The river also provides a third of our country’s fresh water resources. Along with the Yellow River, it is considered as China’s “mother river”. However, in recent years, this “mother river” has met with some environmental problems. It was seriously polluted and the number of the fish is getting smaller. To solve these problems, the government passed the Yangtze River Protection Law. The law came into force on March 1, 2021. There are nine parts in the law, covering areas such as resource protection, anti-pollution measures, green development and legal responsibilities. More importantly, the law has introduced a fishing ban (禁令) on the Yangtze River’s natural waterways. According to the new law, both the central government and local organizations would put the river protection into their economic (经济的) and social development plans. Around 231,000 fishermen had given up their fishing rights along the Yangtze River. Chinese Vice-premier Han Zheng said that more support should be given to these people to help them find new jobs. He also calls for stronger efforts to help prevent activities which are not allowed by the law and encourages the public to support the ban. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过5个词。 1．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refer to? 2．Why did the government pass the Yangtze River Protection Law? 3．How many parts are there in the law? 4．How would the government help the fishermen? 5．What do you think of the Yangtze River Protection Law? 18.（23-24八年级下·江苏盐城·期末） 阅读并回答问题。 Matthew Stephenson lives in Texas.

The first time we stayed there, our neighbour Mary came and brought us a box with some tomatoes and a bottle of wine (葡萄酒) in it. It was nice of her to do it. But when we looked at the tomatoes, we were worried because they looked terrible: not at all like the nice, round, shiny things you get in a supermarket. And the wine was cloudy, in a funny old bottle with no label (标签) on it. These couldn’t be any good, we thought. But we were thankful for her kindness, so we tried them. What a wonderful taste! Those tomatoes made me think of the ones my uncle grew when I was a child. Nowadays supermarket tomatoes look perfect but they have a taste of water. Nobody’s going to have a happy memory of those. Mary’s wine may be cloudy and come out of an old bottle, but it was perfect. It’s good to eat things at the correct time, when they’re in season, and as close as possible to where they were grown. What Mary gives us is the taste of Sunshine Town. 注：每题答案不超过5个单词 1．When do we usually go to Sunshine Town? 2．Were Mary’s tomatoes good-looking or bad-looking? 3．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refer to? 4．What taste do “I” feel nowadays supermarket tomatoes have? 5．Please write a title (标题) for this passage. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 阅读表达 目录 1.（23-24八年级下·江苏淮安·期末） 主要介绍微信朋友圈的作用及人们使用的注意点。 1 2.（23-24八年级下·江苏盐城·期末）文章介绍了淄博的烧烤是怎么样火起来的。 2 3.（23-24八年级下·江苏淮安·期末）文章介绍了第九届亚冬会的口号，会徽和吉祥物。 4 4.（23-24八年级下·江苏扬州·期末）讲述汤姆在摘棉花中帮助年迈的奴隶玛莎的故事。 5 5.（23-24八年级下·江苏扬州·期末）讲述Huckleberry Finn的母亲去世，父亲消失了，一位寡妇收养了他，他想加入汤姆的俱乐部，所以回去和寡妇一起住，后来有一天他发现父亲回来了的经历。 7 6.（23-24八年级下·江苏扬州·期末）主要讨论了人们对于蓝色食物的态度，并得出结论：人们并不喜欢蓝色的食物，认为它们是不健康或不安全的。 8 7.（23-24八年级下·江苏扬州·期末）本文主要讲了新疆牧民的放牧日常生活。 10 8.（23-24八年级下·江苏连云港·期末）本文是Helen写给Anna的信，信中讲述了Helen的姑妈Elizabeth在格陵兰岛冰穴中发现一枚巨大的蛋，孵化出一只翼指龙Dacty，因家中无法容纳其日渐庞大的体型，最终将其送往植物园温室妥善安置的故事。 11 9.（23-24八年级下·江苏南通·期末）介绍了新的航母“福建号”海试的过程。 13 10.（23-24八年级下·江苏无锡·期末）文章主要讲述了一家咖啡馆以礼貌程度来规定一种饮料的价格的故事。 14 11.（23-24八年级下·江苏苏州·期末）马克·吐温著名小说《汤姆·索耶历险记》的节选。 讲述小说中的幽默故事，主人公Tom如何利用“智慧”骗他的朋友们为他刷篱笆。哈克贝利·费恩是Tom的好朋友，后面的《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》是马克·吐温又一部成功的小说。 15 12.（23-24八年级下·江苏南通·期末）本文讲了特殊教育学校的老师Liu Lingli的事迹。 17 13.（23-24八年级下·江苏南通·期末）介绍了中国传统油纸伞的历史和工艺等。 18 14.（22-23八年级下·江苏淮安·期末）介绍了一群退休的专家被评为感动中国人物，并介绍了其中一些人的事迹。 20 15.（23-240八年级下·江苏南通·期中）主要讲述了关于感冒的事情。 21 16.（23-24八年级下·江苏南通·期末）介绍了中国的北斗卫星导航系统（BDS），它是全球四大卫星导航系统之一，已为全球超过15亿用户提供服务，广泛应用于多个行业，并预计未来将在全球导航和定位服务中发挥重要作用。 22 17.（23-24八年级下·江苏盐城·期末）长江是一条非常重要的河流，与黄河一起誉为中国的“母亲河”。然而，近年来，长江遇到一些环境问题，为解决这些问题，政府通过了《长江保护法》，同时呼吁给相关渔民找新工作，鼓励公众支持禁渔令。 24 18.（23-24八年级下·江苏盐城·期末）介绍马修肌肉软弱，不能参加正常的营地活动，在“微笑营”他度过了一段快乐的时光，他希望更多向他一样的残疾孩子有机会去“微笑营”。 25 19.（22-23八年级下·江苏盐城·期末）主要讲述Ludwick Marishane发明了一种凝胶，方便人们在无法使用干净的水的时候使用，可防止因使用脏水而带来的疾病和节约水。 27 20.（23-24八年级下·江苏徐州·期末）主要讲述了作者多年前在阳光镇买了一栋房子，每年夏天都会去那里。邻居玛丽带给他们的酒和食物朴实却极其美味。作者觉得吃当季的食物并且尽可能靠近它们生长的地方是很幸福的，这些食物是阳光镇的味道。 28 1.（23-24八年级下·江苏淮安·期末） In the past, people used words to express their ideas and feelings.

In March, the small city received about 4. 8 million tourists. It is certainly not the only city that offers barbecue, or even the most famous one, but its seemingly sudden fame was steps in the making. Zhou Maosong, president of Zibo Tourism Promotion Association said the popularity (流行，受欢迎) started from the crowd-gathering effect of cultural and tourism activities including a music festival.

A blogger on Douyin took an electronic scale (电子秤) to ten barbecue stands in Ziboto test if he would be offered less food. It turned out that not a single one was caught short of weight and some owners even offered him local snacks for free.

We all know that green vegetables are healthy, but what about other foods of different colors? You don’t need to like all food, but it is good to have different colors in your diet, for example, red food such as strawberries and tomatoes, yellow food such as bananas and pears, and orange food such as carrots and oranges. But what about the blue food? A few years ago, a food company added the color blue to its bags of sweets. Children like the color blue, so were the blue sweets popular? The food company was surprised to find that they were very unpopular. Children still liked the sweets that have the usual colors of red, green, brown, yellow and orange better. How many blue meats or vegetables do you know? None? There are few natural blue foods—it isn’t a common natural food color. Some scientists say that as a result, our brain doesn’t treat blue food as something healthy. This is why we don’t usually use blue food coloring for drinks, cakes and other food. Some people say we eat with our eyes. The idea is that we need to like the looks of the food before we try it. I wanted to test this idea and so I asked some friends to have a very unusual lunch. My husband and I made some eggs on toast and put blue coloring in them. The result is that nobody ate them. My guests refused to put the blue eggs in their mouths!

I’m China’s newest aircraft carrier (航空母舰), Type 003. People also call me the Fujian. It took six years to build me, and the construction was completed on June 17, 2022, in Shanghai. I have two elder brothers, Type 001, the Liaoning, and Type 002, the Shandong. As you may have noticed, I’ve followed the family tradition of being named after a province.

I have three Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch Systems (飞机电磁弹射系统). They allow planes to take off at higher speeds. I can also launch larger and heavier aircraft than my brothers. During my eight days at sea, experts ran many different tests on me. They wanted to see if I could work well.
