Energy lights our cities and powers our cars, trains, planes and rockets. It warms our homes, cooks our food, plays our music and makes the pictures on our televisions. 9 And energy comes from many places. For example, energy from the sun’s light dries our clothes. 1 Plants keep some of that energy inside of them. When a deer eats a plant, it gets that energy. It uses that energy to live. If a tiger eats that deer, the tiger will get some of that same energy. Many different kinds of energy come from different places, but there are two main groups we can put energy into: renewable (可再生的) and nonrenewable. Renewable energy can be used over and over again. It comes from things like sunlight, wind, plants, moving water and the Earth’s heat. We can use these things to make electricity. 2 There will always be sunlight, there will always be wind, and the Earth will always be hot inside. If we use these sources for energy, we’ll never run out. 3 We are getting most of our energy from nonrenewable sources. We say they are non-renewable because we are using them more quickly than they can be made. Most of these are fossil fuels (化石燃料) like oil, natural gas and coal. It had taken the Earth millions of years to make fossil fuels from dead plants and animals as old as dinosaurs. There is no fast way to make fossil fuels, but we are using them very quickly. Remember that it’s our duty to protect the energy. A．But we have many energy problems now. B．That energy also helps plants to grow. C．And we don’t have to worry about running out of them. D．But where does renewable energy come from? E．It powers the machines in factories and the tractors on the farms.

Energy lights our cities and powers our cars, trains, planes and rockets. It warms our homes, cooks our food, plays our music and makes the pictures on our televisions. 9 And energy comes from many places. For example, energy from the sun’s light dries our clothes. 1 Plants keep some of that energy inside of them. When a deer eats a plant, it gets that energy. It uses that energy to live. If a tiger eats that deer, the tiger will get some of that same energy. Many different kinds of energy come from different places, but there are two main groups we can put energy into: renewable (可再生的) and nonrenewable. Renewable energy can be used over and over again. It comes from things like sunlight, wind, plants, moving water and the Earth’s heat. We can use these things to make electricity. 2 There will always be sunlight, there will always be wind, and the Earth will always be hot inside. If we use these sources for energy, we’ll never run out. 3 We are getting most of our energy from nonrenewable sources. We say they are non-renewable because we are using them more quickly than they can be made. Most of these are fossil fuels (化石燃料) like oil, natural gas and coal. It had taken the Earth millions of years to make fossil fuels from dead plants and animals as old as dinosaurs. There is no fast way to make fossil fuels, but we are using them very quickly. Remember that it’s our duty to protect the energy. A．But we have many energy problems now. B．That energy also helps plants to grow. C．And we don’t have to worry about running out of them. D．But where does renewable energy come from? E．It powers the machines in factories and the tractors on the farms. F．We have to learn something about renewable and nonrenewable. 【答案】1．E 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文讲述了能量的重要性、来源、分类以及我们面临的能源问题。 1．根据上文“Energy lights our cities and powers our cars, trains, planes and rockets. It warms our homes, cooks our food, plays our music and makes the pictures on our televisions.”可知，此处介绍能源的用处，选项E“它为工厂的机器和农场的拖拉机提供动力。”符合语境。故选E。 2．根据下文“Plants keep some of that energy inside of them.”可知，植物会在体内保存一些能量用以生长，选项B“这种能量也有助于植物的生长。”符合语境。故选B。 3．根据下文“There will always be sunlight, there will always be wind, and the Earth will always be hot inside.”可知，永远都会有阳光，风和地热，所以不用担心这些能量会被用完，选项C“我们也不必担心它们会耗尽。”符合语境。故选C。 4．根据下文“There is no fast way to make fossil fuels, but we are using them very quickly.”可知，化石燃料无法快速生成，但我们却消耗得很快，于是产生能源问题，选项A“但是我们现在有很多能源问题。”符合语境。故选A。 （四） 【来源】江苏省扬州市广陵区2023-2024学年八年级下学期期末英语试题 阅读下面短文，从所给选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺,结构完整，其中有一项是多余选项。 “How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly greeting that people in the United States use. 1 It’s a question that often doesn't need an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” expects to hear the answer “Fine.”, even if the other person isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine.” isn’t really an answer. 14 Sometimes, people don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?”, “No, I don’t I think you are wrong (不同意) very strongly, so he might say 15 People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking to other people. For example,many conversations over the phone end when one person says “I’ve got to go now.” or the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse such as “Someone is at the door.”or “Something is burning on the stove.” 2 The person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say so. An excuse is polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person’s feelings. Whether they are greeting each other talking about an opinion,or ending a conversation, people often don’t say exactly what they are thinking. 17 A．This is a nice way to say that you don’t agree with someone. B．However, “How are you?” is also an unusual question. C．The excuse may be real, or not. D．They are common ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”. E．If you disagree with others, they will hate you. F．This is one way of being nice to people, and it’s a part of the game of language. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．F 【导语】本文通过举例，向人们揭示了不要只从语言表面去理解一个人的意思，这个人真正的想法其实往往隐藏在语言背后。 1．根据“It’s a question that often doesn't need an answer. ”可知，此处是说“How are you?”还有别的意思。B项“然而，“你好”也是一个不常见的问题”符合语境，故选B。 2．根据“The reason is that ‘How are you?’ isn’t really a question and ‘Fine.’ isn’t really an answer.”可知，此处是要说明“How are you?”和“Fine.”的真正含义。D项“它们是说‘你好’或‘嗨’的常用方式”符合语境，故选D。 3．根据“Sometimes, people don’t say exactly what they mean.”可知，此处是通过这个例子说明，自己实际上并不同意对方的观点。A项“这是一个很好的方式来表达你不同意某人的观点”符合语境，故选A。 4．根据后句“The person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say so. An excuse is polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person’s feelings.”可知。此处是说只是找个借口，而这个借口可能是真的，也可能是假的。C项“这个借口可能是真的，也可能不是”符合语境，故选C。 5．根据前句“Whether they are greeting each other talking about an opinion, or ending a conversation, people often don’t say exactly what they are thinking. ”可知，此处是说谈论一个观点，人们通常不会说出他们确切的想法。F项“这是对人友善的一种方式，也是语言游戏的一部分”符合语境，故选F。 （五） 【来源】江苏省淮安市盱眙县2023-2024学年八年级下学期期末测试英语试题 Should parents ask their children to do chores (家务)? 1 They think that children are too young to cook or clean for themselves or their parents.

Parents should help children learn to do the housework that they will have to do when they live on their own. 19 Most experts (专家) do agree. 2 Parents shouldn’t, of course, ask a schoolboy to cook when he is doing his homework.

Many people worry that the tool will put many filmmakers out of business. 2 Many people are afraid that industries (产业) such as translation, teaching and design will all disappear (消失).

Take the Chinese New Year celebration video in Paragraph 1 for example. 4 You need to describe your instructions with more details, such as time, places and persons. 5 After an AI tool gives you an answer, you need to decide if all the information is correct by yourself. To do this, you need at least some basic knowledge about the subjects. If you think AI gives you a chance of being lazy, it’s time to stop daydreaming. Work harder on your studies, and you’ll be better prepared to work with AI. A．You can’t depend on Sora for everything. B．And remember that AI can make mistakes.
