If I got a D, I was very happy. If I got a C-minus (C-), I had achieved greatness. A’s and B’s were a kingdom I could never enter. Once my teacher Miss Mills had given me a list of ten spelling words. My mother and I went over the list until I knew those words. I felt great. I thought. “Wow! This time, I’m going to pass.” The next day, I went into the classroom and began to write down the words. The first word was “carpet”. I wrote that one down c-a-r-p-e-t. I was feeling pretty confident. Then came the word “neighbor”—I wrote down the letter “n”. Then rhythm—I knew there was an “r”. Suburban——I wrote “s-u-b”. My confidence failed me. I had gone from 100 percent to maybe a D-minus. Where did the words go? Some people talk about information sliding off your brain. That was my life. I was an underachiever. Now I know I have dyslexia (诵读困难症). A person with dyslexia might see “the” as “teh” and “bird” as “brid”. My brain learns differently. A learning disability can really change the way you feel about yourself. Now I know that even if I learn differently. I can still be filled with greatness. Today when I visit schools as an actor, director, and co-author of children’s books, I tell children that everyone has something special inside. It’s our job to find out what that is and get it out, and give it to the world as a gift. 1．The writer’s problem in grade school is that ________.

He has won the name “poetic captain” for his passion for poems. While flying over the Yellow River, he thinks of this verse: “① Do you not see the Yellow River come from the sky, rush into the sea, and never come back?” Above the Yangtze River, he recites (吟诵): ② “Wave after wave the Yangtze River roars east, sweeping away with it all our heroes.” If conditions permit, he shares the poems with passengers via captains’ announcements. “It’s amazing!

But what about brave animals? Many animals go to war: horses, dogs, cows and pigeons, to name a few. Are there any awards for them? In fact, there is one. It’s called the Dickin Medal, and it’s given to animals who show bravery and devotion to duty while serving with the armed forces (武装部队) or civil emergency services (民事紧急服务). The award was created by and named after Maria Dickin in 1943. She had previously set up the People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA)-an organization that took care of injured animals. During the Second World War, many animals were given the Dickin Medal, including one cat, three horses,18 dogs and 32 pigeons. Pigeons? You ask. Yes, pigeons. OK, they may seem unlikely to receive a bravery medal, but they were very important to the war effort. During the Second World War, communications weren’t what they are today. There was no internet, no-mail, no mobile phones and no satellites. So, on many occasions, soldiers had to use homing pigeons to pass on messages. These pigeons are born with an ability to find their way home, even if they are quite far away. During the war, homing pigeons were used to carry messages. These messages were usually written on small pieces of paper and were tied to their legs. One of the most famous pigeons to win the medal was Paddy. He was an Irish pigeon, and one of the first pigeons to return to base out of hundreds launched. He was bringing news of the successful D-Day landings in Normandy (诺曼底). He crossed the English Channel in just 4 hours and 5 minutes (a record). Another famous pigeon was G. I. Joe. He worked for the United States Army Pigeon service. G. I. Joe saved the lives of the villagers and allied (同盟的) soldiers of the village of Calvi Veccia, Italy. The village had been captured by allied soldiers. But the air force didn’t know this and was about to bomb (轰炸) it. G. I. Joe was given a message to take, and it arrived just in time to avoid the bombing. 1．The Dickin Medal is an award given to ________. A．brave and devoted soldiers B．brave and devoted animals C．honest and diligent soldiers D．honest and diligent animals 2．Pigeons were important during the Second World War because ________. A．they were very brave B．they helped to carry messages C．they saved many people’s lives D．they knew how to find their way home 3．The pigeon Paddy was given the Dickin Medal because ________. A．he was an Irish pigeon B．he was the first pigeon to return to base C．he succeeded in carrying an important message D．he set a record by crossing the English Channel in a short time 4．What would happen if G. I. Joe didn’t send the message in time? A．G. I. Joe would have died. B．The allied soldiers would have lost the war. C．The air force would have killed the pigeon. D．The villagers and allied soldiers would have died in the bombing. 5．The underlined word “capture” probably means ________. A．take control B．complete C．save D．block 6．Which of the following is true according to the passage? A．The pigeons Paddy and G. I. Joe worked for the same army.

It’s “Mama”, isn’t it? And as you know, in America, kids call their mother “Mom” or “Mommy”. In French, the word is “Maman” and in Arabic, it’s “Ummi”. Have you noticed what these words for “mother” have in common? Well, they all have a sound close to “m”. Similarly, the words for “father” almost all have the sound “b” or “p”. There are over 7,000 languages around the world. The words for other things are usually very different from one language to another. But why are the words for “mother” and “father” so similar? The answer lies in how babies start to talk. The easiest sound a baby can make is “ah”. A child can make this sound without the use of his tongue (舌头) or lips. Then, if he is going to change things a little bit, the easiest thing to do is to break up that sound by closing his lips for a while. The child, by this point, has long been doing this to suck (吸吮) milk. And so, the baby ends up with the sound “mah”. Babies’ “speaking” in this way are just playing. Adults, however, don’t hear them that way. When a baby says “mah mah”, it sounds as if he is calling someone. And the person that the child is calling upon so early in his life is most likely to be his mother. The mother takes “mah” as meaning her. When speaking to her child, she calls herself “mama”. The word “mama” starts to mean “mother”. This happens with human babies worldwide. After babies begin making “m” with their lips, they put their lips together and pick up the sound “bah” or “pah”. When they make this sound, they are thought to be calling their second closest caretaker: their father. That’s why you call your mother “mama” and your father “baba”. You have been doing this ever since you started to make sounds. 1．According to the article, in Arabic, what word do kids use to call their mother? A．“Ummi” B．“Pappy” C．“Maman” D．“Mommy” 2．All over the world, the words for “father” almost all have the sound ________. A．“m” B．“b” C．“b” or “p” D．“m” or “p” 3．What is the easiest sound a baby can make? A．“Ah” B．“Mah” C．“Pah” D．“Bah” 4．According to the article, when babies make the sound “mah”, they are ________. A．playing B．calling their mother C．calling their father D．saying they are hungry 5．In order to make the sound “bah”, babies ________. A．bite their lips B．put their lips together C．close their lips for a short time D．use neither their tongue nor their lips 6．We can learn from the article that ________. A．some babies find it difficult to make the sound “mah” B．babies in ancient times did not call their mother “mah mah” C．babies all over the world call their father “bah bah” or “pah pah” D．babies pick up the sound “mah” before they pick up the sound “pah” （23-24八年级下·上海浦东新·期末）Story 1 In America in 1940, the twin boys went to live with two different families almost as soon as they were born. The two brothers never saw each other again until 1979, when they met by chance at a party. When they started talking to each other, they discovered some amazing similarities (相似处). First, they found out that they both enjoyed making things out of wood. Later on, they discovered that they had both married women called Linda, and that they both had one son whose first and middle names were James and Alan. Besides, both brothers had called their dogs by the same name-Toy. As if that wasn’t enough, they also found out that they both took their family holiday at the same place every year. Story 2 In 1996, a Filipino woman called Mrs.Jimena told other people that her three children could breathe underwater like fish. Mrs.Jimena said that her children had three small holes on the sides of their necks below each ear,and that these were like the gills (鳃) on fish. Mrs.Jimena said that she didn’t know how to swim and that her children were just starting to learn. Her family lives in a mountain village far from the sea. According to Mrs.Jimena, the holes in her children’s necks become larger when they are underwater, allowing them to stay underwater for up to six minutes. Story 3 On 11th October, 1994, a 10-year-old English girl called Vicky Willmore told her mother that she had a headache. Soon afterwards,Vicky began writing in mirror image (镜像). She wrote letters and numbers either upside-down or back-to-front. Although she could read what she wrote, no one else could. She was examined by different doctors, but none of them could find out what was wrong with her. Vicky became very upset, and soon stopped reading and writing altogether. Instead she started watching TV all the time. On 27th, September 1995, Vicky was watching her favorite football team, Manchester United, play on television. When the team scored a goal, she became so excited that she jumped out of her seat and fell backwards, hitting her head on a coffee table.

Now imagine collecting all of that excitement in a certain place just for you. Sounds exciting, right?     Why keep a summer diary? A summer diary is like a treasure (宝藏) box, filled with memories and experiences from your summer days. It’s a way to remember all your adventures, big and small, and all the things that make summer such a wonderful time. It is also a great place to show your ideas, and let your imagination run wild! The first step to get started Every great adventure begins with the right tools. For your summer diary, the first step is to find the perfect notebook.

Ideas to get more creative Here are some ideas to get you started ◇Daily Activities: Every day is an adventure! Write about what you did, saw or felt. ◇Nature Observations: You could write about a tiny insect you saw or the way the leaves rustle (make soft sounds when they move) in the wind. ☆Simple Doodles: A diary doesn’t have to be all about words. Paint something you saw, or draw a picture about your summer holiday. ◇Goals: What are your hopes for this summer or the new school year? Write them down and make a plan on how to achieve them.

Paint something you saw, or draw a picture about your summer holiday”可知，文中给出写日记的建议是可以画画或涂鸦看到的东西。故选B。 5．细节理解题。根据“By the end of the summer, you’ll have a collection of memories and experiences. It will remind you of all the fun you had and show how much you’ve grown and learned. It’s a gift you can keep and share with your family and friends.”可知，选项D“赚零花钱”并未在文章中提及，也不属于暑假日记能够带来的收获。故选D。 （23-24八年级下·上海长宁·期末）Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案) All through grade school, I got extra help with school work. If I got a D, I was very happy. If I got a C-minus (C-), I had achieved greatness. A’s and B’s were a kingdom I could never enter. Once my teacher Miss Mills had given me a list of ten spelling words. My mother and I went over the list until I knew those words. I felt great. I thought. “Wow! This time, I’m going to pass.” The next day, I went into the classroom and began to write down the words. The first word was “carpet”. I wrote that one down c-a-r-p-e-t. I was feeling pretty confident. Then came the word “neighbor”—I wrote down the letter “n”. Then rhythm—I knew there was an “r”. Suburban——I wrote “s-u-b”. My confidence failed me. I had gone from 100 percent to maybe a D-minus. Where did the words go? Some people talk about information sliding off your brain. That was my life. I was an underachiever. Now I know I have dyslexia (诵读困难症). A person with dyslexia might see “the” as “teh” and “bird” as “brid”. My brain learns differently. A learning disability can really change the way you feel about yourself. Now I know that even if I learn differently. I can still be filled with greatness. Today when I visit schools as an actor, director, and co-author of children’s books, I tell children that everyone has something special inside. It’s our job to find out what that is and get it out, and give it to the world as a gift. 1．The writer’s problem in grade school is that ________. A．he had trouble in spelling B．he often got C-minuses C．he was absent-minded D．he had a physical disability 2．From Paragraph 2, we can know that the writer ________. A．wrote down 20% words correctly B．knew he had dyslexia then C．felt upset about himself at last D．studied hard and passed the test 3．The underlined phrase “sliding off” (in Para.3) most probably means “________”. A．coming into B．going through C．moving around D．disappearing from 4．After the writer knew he had dyslexia, he ________. A．felt very excited B．had more difficulties in study C．was filled with sadness D．changed his view of himself 5．The best title for the passage is most probably “________”. A．A Change for Sure B．A Great Underachiever C．A Gift from the World D．A Special Spelling Bee 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在小学时期因患有诵读困难症（dyslexia）而学习困难，但后来通过自我认知和努力，最终成为一名演员、导演和儿童书籍合著者，并鼓励他人发现自己的独特之处。 1．细节理解题。根据“Then came the word ‘neighbor’—I wrote down the letter ‘n’. Then rhythm—I knew there was an ‘r”. Suburban——I wrote ‘s-u-b’.”可知，作者的问题在于拼写困难。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据“My confidence failed me. I had gone from 100 percent to maybe a D-minus. Where did the words go?”可推知，作者失去了信心，觉得自己的表现可能得D-，作者最终对自己感到沮丧。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。第二段中作者原本记住了单词并且感觉极好，但开始写的时候却一错再错，结合“Some people talk about information sliding off your brain.”可推出，此处指信息从大脑中消失，所以划线部分的含义是“从……消失”。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据“A learning disability can really change the way you feel about yourself. Now I know that even if I learn differently. I can still be filled with greatness.”可知，作者在知道自己有诵读困难症后，改变了自我认知。故选D。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了作者作为一个有诵读困难症的差等生的学习经历，作者明白即使以不同的方式学习，依旧可以充满可能，他最终取得了成功，所以B项符合。故选B。 （23-24八年级下·上海浦东新·期末） Ma Baoli is a pilot with the Dalian branch of China Southern Airlines, in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province. He has won the name “poetic captain” for his passion for poems. While flying over the Yellow River, he thinks of this verse: “① Do you not see the Yellow River come from the sky, rush into the sea, and never come back?” Above the Yangtze River, he recites (吟诵): ② “Wave after wave the Yangtze River roars east, sweeping away with it all our heroes.” If conditions permit, he shares the poems with passengers via captains’ announcements. “It’s amazing! The poets of ancient China could not have flown to such heights, and yet they wrote poems that perfectly described the beauty of nature,” says Ma. In early February, 2023, the 35-year-old won first place in the Chinese Poetry Conference, a popular poetry-themed quiz show. This is the second time he has taken part in the show as a contestant since 2019. For Ma, classical poetry, which has accompanied (陪伴) him since his childhood, is the most beautiful language in the world. “I like reading poetry in my spare time. Once I pick up a book of poetry, I can’t put it down—it’s a bit like those who can’t stop watching short videos on social media these days,” says Ma. Ma was born in 1988 in a village in Pizhou, East China’s Jiangsu Province. His father, who worked hard to feed the family through farming and fishing, used to paint on the white walls of their house and write poems to match the paintings. “I enjoyed watching my father do these things and listening to him recite poems.

But what about brave animals? Many animals go to war: horses, dogs, cows and pigeons, to name a few. Are there any awards for them? In fact, there is one. It’s called the Dickin Medal, and it’s given to animals who show bravery and devotion to duty while serving with the armed forces (武装部队) or civil emergency services (民事紧急服务). The award was created by and named after Maria Dickin in 1943. She had previously set up the People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA)-an organization that took care of injured animals. During the Second World War, many animals were given the Dickin Medal, including one cat, three horses,18 dogs and 32 pigeons. Pigeons? You ask. Yes, pigeons. OK, they may seem unlikely to receive a bravery medal, but they were very important to the war effort. During the Second World War, communications weren’t what they are today. There was no internet, no-mail, no mobile phones and no satellites. So, on many occasions, soldiers had to use homing pigeons to pass on messages. These pigeons are born with an ability to find their way home, even if they are quite far away. During the war, homing pigeons were used to carry messages. These messages were usually written on small pieces of paper and were tied to their legs. One of the most famous pigeons to win the medal was Paddy. He was an Irish pigeon, and one of the first pigeons to return to base out of hundreds launched. He was bringing news of the successful D-Day landings in Normandy (诺曼底). He crossed the English Channel in just 4 hours and 5 minutes (a record). Another famous pigeon was G. I. Joe. He worked for the United States Army Pigeon service. G. I. Joe saved the lives of the villagers and allied (同盟的) soldiers of the village of Calvi Veccia, Italy. The village had been captured by allied soldiers. But the air force didn’t know this and was about to bomb (轰炸) it. G. I. Joe was given a message to take, and it arrived just in time to avoid the bombing. 1．The Dickin Medal is an award given to ________. A．brave and devoted soldiers B．brave and devoted animals C．honest and diligent soldiers D．honest and diligent animals 2．Pigeons were important during the Second World War because ________. A．they were very brave B．they helped to carry messages C．they saved many people’s lives D．they knew how to find their way home 3．The pigeon Paddy was given the Dickin Medal because ________. A．he was an Irish pigeon B．he was the first pigeon to return to base C．he succeeded in carrying an important message D．he set a record by crossing the English Channel in a short time 4．What would happen if G. I. Joe didn’t send the message in time? A．G. I. Joe would have died. B．The allied soldiers would have lost the war. C．The air force would have killed the pigeon. D．The villagers and allied soldiers would have died in the bombing. 5．The underlined word “capture” probably means ________.

It’s “Mama”, isn’t it? And as you know, in America, kids call their mother “Mom” or “Mommy”. In French, the word is “Maman” and in Arabic, it’s “Ummi”. Have you noticed what these words for “mother” have in common? Well, they all have a sound close to “m”. Similarly, the words for “father” almost all have the sound “b” or “p”. There are over 7,000 languages around the world. The words for other things are usually very different from one language to another. But why are the words for “mother” and “father” so similar? The answer lies in how babies start to talk. The easiest sound a baby can make is “ah”. A child can make this sound without the use of his tongue (舌头) or lips. Then, if he is going to change things a little bit, the easiest thing to do is to break up that sound by closing his lips for a while. The child, by this point, has long been doing this to suck (吸吮) milk. And so, the baby ends up with the sound “mah”. Babies’ “speaking” in this way are just playing. Adults, however, don’t hear them that way. When a baby says “mah mah”, it sounds as if he is calling someone. And the person that the child is calling upon so early in his life is most likely to be his mother. The mother takes “mah” as meaning her. When speaking to her child, she calls herself “mama”. The word “mama” starts to mean “mother”. This happens with human babies worldwide. After babies begin making “m” with their lips, they put their lips together and pick up the sound “bah” or “pah”. When they make this sound, they are thought to be calling their second closest caretaker: their father. That’s why you call your mother “mama” and your father “baba”. You have been doing this ever since you started to make sounds. 1．According to the article, in Arabic, what word do kids use to call their mother? A．“Ummi” B．“Pappy” C．“Maman” D．“Mommy” 2．All over the world, the words for “father” almost all have the sound ________. A．“m” B．“b” C．“b” or “p” D．“m” or “p” 3．What is the easiest sound a baby can make? A．“Ah” B．“Mah” C．“Pah” D．“Bah” 4．According to the article, when babies make the sound “mah”, they are ________. A．playing B．calling their mother C．calling their father D．saying they are hungry 5．In order to make the sound “bah”, babies ________. A．bite their lips B．put their lips together C．close their lips for a short time D．use neither their tongue nor their lips 6．We can learn from the article that ________. A．some babies find it difficult to make the sound “mah” B．babies in ancient times did not call their mother “mah mah” C．babies all over the world call their father “bah bah” or “pah pah” D．babies pick up the sound “mah” before they pick up the sound “pah” 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．A 4．A 5．B 6．D 【导语】本文介绍了不同语言中“母亲”和“父亲”称呼的相似性及其背后的原因。 1．细节理解题。根据“in Arabic, it’s ‘Ummi’.”可知，在阿拉伯语中，称呼妈妈是“Ummi”。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“Similarly, the words for ‘father’ almost all have the sound ‘b’ or ‘p’.”可知，“父亲”这个词几乎都有“b”或“p”的发音。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“The easiest sound a baby can make is ‘ah’.”可知，婴儿最容易发出的声音是“ah”。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“And so, the baby ends up with the sound ‘mah’.”及“Babies’ ‘speaking’ in this way are just playing.”可知，婴儿发出“mah”的声音只是在玩耍。故选A。 5．细节理解题。根据“they put their lips together and pick up the sound ‘bah’ or ‘pah’.”可知，他们把嘴唇合在一起，发出“bah”或“pah”的声音。故选B。 6．推理判断题。根据“After babies begin making ‘m’ with their lips, they put their lips together and pick up the sound ‘bah’ or ‘pah’.”可知，婴儿开始用嘴唇发出“m”后，他们会把嘴唇合在一起，发出“bah”或“pah”的声音。由此推断婴儿先学会“mah”的声音，然后才学会“pah”的声音。故选D。 （23-24八年级下·上海浦东新·期末）Story 1 In America in 1940, the twin boys went to live with two different families almost as soon as they were born. The two brothers never saw each other again until 1979, when they met by chance at a party. When they started talking to each other, they discovered some amazing similarities (相似处). First, they found out that they both enjoyed making things out of wood. Later on, they discovered that they had both married women called Linda, and that they both had one son whose first and middle names were James and Alan. Besides, both brothers had called their dogs by the same name-Toy. As if that wasn’t enough, they also found out that they both took their family holiday at the same place every year. Story 2 In 1996, a Filipino woman called Mrs.Jimena told other people that her three children could breathe underwater like fish. Mrs.Jimena said that her children had three small holes on the sides of their necks below each ear,and that these were like the gills (鳃) on fish. Mrs.Jimena said that she didn’t know how to swim and that her children were just starting to learn. Her family lives in a mountain village far from the sea. According to Mrs.Jimena, the holes in her children’s necks become larger when they are underwater, allowing them to stay underwater for up to six minutes. Story 3 On 11th October, 1994, a 10-year-old English girl called Vicky Willmore told her mother that she had a headache. Soon afterwards,Vicky began writing in mirror image (镜像). She wrote letters and numbers either upside-down or back-to-front. Although she could read what she wrote, no one else could. She was examined by different doctors, but none of them could find out what was wrong with her. Vicky became very upset, and soon stopped reading and writing altogether. Instead she started watching TV all the time. On 27th, September 1995, Vicky was watching her favorite football team, Manchester United, play on television. When the team scored a goal, she became so excited that she jumped out of her seat and fell backwards, hitting her head on a coffee table. The next day, Vicky could read and write properly again. 1．The twin brother didn’t meet each other until ________. A．1940 B．1979 C．1994 D．1996 2．The twin brothers ________.
