I’ll go when I’m a little older,” Fred shook his head. “I’ve studied how the sports players become the best. That is practice. If I practice hard enough, I will succeed.” “Sounds like a big challenge,” said Dad. “Which sport will you take up?” “I haven’t made up my mind yet,” said Fred. After a month’s practice, Fred got hurt again and again when he tried to find out which sport was for him. He tried different kinds of sports, such as running, jumping, badminton and so on. But at last he stopped practicing. “It’s too difficult. I don’t think I am good at any sports,” Fred talked to himself. The following Sunday, the family sat down for dinner as usual. “I’ve decided not to play a sport,” said Fred. Everyone was surprised. “You’re giving up your Olympic dream?” said Anna. “I didn’t say I was giving up,” said Fred. “I’m still going to the Olympics.” Anna looked confused (疑惑的). “How can you go if you don’t do a sport?” Fred held up a book titled Is Sports Medicine the Career for You? “Over the past few weeks, I’ve found that sports players need much medical help. So I am going to become a sports doctor. I’ll still go to the Olympics, but as a doctor, not a player.” Fred answered confidently. “Now that is another challenge, Fred!” said Dad. “But I’m sure you will try your best to realize your dream.” 22.

Researchers from University College London have studied this interesting idea. Their study is mainly about how exercise influences our brain, especially in older adults. They found that the influence of physical activities can remain even into the next day. In the study, 76 people aged between 50 and 83 took part in different physical activities. These activities such as fast walking, dancing, and climbing stairs made their hearts beat faster. The scientists found that after the activities, the participants (参与者) felt sharper the next day. They not only had better focus (专注力), but also enjoyed better and more peaceful sleep. This is important because good sleep helps us think clearly and remember things better. The study also showed that more sitting and fewer physical activities led to worse cognitive skills (认知技能) the next day. This means if you don’t move much, your brain might feel a bit cloudy and less active. But why is exercise so beneficial to our brains? When we move our bodies and get our hearts beating,more oxygen and nutrients (营养物) reach our brains, helping them work better. Exercise also triggers the production of something special called neurotransmitters (神经递质). They help us feel better and think more clearly. According to the study, you don’t have to go to a gym or follow a strict exercise plan to gain these benefits. Simple activities, like playing sports, riding your bike, or even having a dance party in your room, can help keep your mind sharp. Mikaela Bloomberg, one of the researchers, points out that staying active is something easy to achieve. For students, exercise can lead to better focus in class and better memory for study. It’s advised that kids and teenagers should get at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day. It could be anything you enjoy, like playing outside with friends or joining a sports team. Here comes the advice: the next time you feel a bit inactive or hard to focus, remember to get up and move around. It can help you feel sharper and more alive! 25. According to the study, we can learn that ________. A. more sitting is good for the brain B. physical activities have no influence on us C. doing exercise helps to improve our focus and sleep 26. The word “trigger” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________. A. take something away B. cause something to happen C. have difficulties doing something 27. According to the study, which activity can help us feel better and think more clearly? A. Finishing a big task quickly. B. Keeping reading a book for hours. C. Going mountain climbing with friends. 28. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage? A. How to do exercise in a healthy way. B. Exercise today to feel sharp tomorrow. C. Useful tips on how to stay active at home. 【答案】25. C 26. B 27. C 28. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了伦敦大学学院研究人员关于运动对大脑影响的研究，阐述运动能提升专注力、改善睡眠，还说明了运动有益大脑的原因及可采取的简单运动方式等。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In the study...The scientists found that after the activities, the participants (参与者) felt sharper the next day. They not only had better focus (专注力), but also enjoyed better and more peaceful sleep.”可知，运动有助于改善专注力和睡眠。故选C。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“When we move our bodies and get our hearts beating, more oxygen and nutrients (营养物) reach our brains, helping them work better. Exercise also triggers the production of something special called neurotransmitters (神经递质).”，结合语境，运动能“促使”神经递质产生，“trigger”意思接近“cause something to happen”。故选B。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Simple activities, like playing sports, riding your bike, or even having a dance party in your room, can help keep your mind sharp.”，“Going mountain climbing with friends”“和朋友去爬山”属于运动，能让人感觉更好、思维更清晰。故选C。 【28题详解】 最佳标题题。文章围绕运动对大脑的积极影响，说明运动能让人第二天思维更敏锐等内容，选项B“今日运动，明日思维敏锐”能概括主旨。故选B。 六、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。(共8分，每小题2分) Thanks to social media, common foods like eggs, cheese, cucumbers are becoming superstars! In Iceland, cucumbers and a certain kind of cheese are so popular that stores even run out of them! Why? Because people watch cooking videos online and want to make the same dishes! As you can see, social media is changing our cooking and diet. People have always used new ways to share cooking. Long ago, a French chef started to write cookbooks with pictures to teach others French dishes. In the 1960s, Julia used TV to make cooking fun. She showed how people could make fancy meals at home. Maybe that was the origin (起源) of sharing cooking through electronic media. Nowadays, cooking is one of the most loved topics online, especially during holidays. Many people make videos about cooking, and the videos make cooking fun to share. Some online food videos can even get millions of views. According to a recent (近期的) study, food cooking is the 4th most popular topic online! The Internet can turn anyone into a cooking star! You don’t need to be a fantastic chef to get famous. Nick, a 28-year-old Harvard university student often posts cooking videos online. And his cooking videos have 21 million fans online! Why does social media make us care so much about food? The reason is simple: everyone eats! More importantly, videos teach better than books. Words like “cook until golden” can be confusing, but videos show clearly what to do. Today’s online cooks don’t just share how to cook food—they share a lifestyle. What you eat and watch says something about you. A social media expert (专家) says good cooking stars “Listen to what viewers want”. Some want fun, others want to learn or try new foods through others. So next time you see an Internet-famous recipe, how about searching for videos about it and starting to cook the dish yourself? You might also become a famous cook. 29.

With the help of my mom, I chose a simple yet delicious recipe—spaghetti Bolognese. As I chopped vegetables and stirred the sauce, I felt a sense of accomplishment growing within me. When the meal was finally ready, my family gathered around the table, smiling and praising my efforts. Seeing their happy faces, I felt incredibly warm and happy inside. From this experience, I learned that cooking can be a wonderful way to express love and care for my family. It’s not just about the food; it’s about the time and effort we put into making someone else feel special. This simple act of cooking taught me the value of love and sharing, and it has stayed with me ever since. 【解析】 【详解】[总体分析] ①体裁：本文是一篇材料作文； ②时态：时态为“一般过去时”和“一般现在时”； ③提示：要求包含所有要点提示，内容完整，条理清晰，注意标点符号的使用。 [写作步骤] 第一步：介绍这次经历发生的时间； 第二步：具体描述这次难忘的经历； 第三步：分享自己的收获和体会。 [亮点词汇] ①decide to do sth.决定做某事 ②With the help of...在……的帮助下 ③gather around聚集在一起 [高分句型] ①Seeing their happy faces, I felt incredibly warm and happy inside.(现在分词作状语) ②From this experience, I learned that cooking can be a wonderful way to express love and care for my family.(宾语从句) 附加题 年级：初一 科目：英语 班级：________ 学号： ________姓名 ：________ 一、根据短文内容，用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空。(共4分，每小题1分) A smile can show that a person is happy. For example, a person may smile when he or she is pleased with a grade in a test. Or maybe you still remember you smiled after a friend ____48____ (tell) you a funny joke. People smile for many different reasons. But smiles are more than just a way ____49____ (show) that they are happy. There are other good reasons to smile often. There is a saying: a smile is the best thing that a person can wear. A smiling face can help a person become more popular. What’s more, smiling and laughing can spread ____50____ (easy). If a friend is sad, the best thing may be to share a smile. It’s the simplest way to cheer someone up. Even if you are mad or sad, try smiling. You will find that it will be hard to stay ____51____ (happy) for long. So what are you waiting for? Just let smiles do magic in your life! 【答案】48. told 49. to show 50. easily 51. unhappy 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了微笑在生活中的作用。 【48题详解】 句意：又或者，你或许还记得在朋友给你讲了一个有趣的笑话后，你笑了。根据前文“you still remember you smiled”可知，“朋友讲笑话”是过去发生的动作，所以tell也要用过去式，故填told。 【49题详解】 句意：但微笑不仅仅是一种表明他们开心的方式。a way to do sth.表示“做某事的一种方式”，是固定用法。故填to show。 【50题详解】 句意：此外，微笑和大笑很容易传递开来。根据“spread”可知，此处表示传播很快，修饰动词要用副词。故填easily。 【51题详解】 句意：你会发现，长时间保持不开心的状态会很难。stay是系动词，后接形容词作表语；根据前文“Even if you are mad or sad, try smiling. You will find that it will be hard to stay...”可知，此处是很难长时间保持“不开心”，happy的反义词是unhappy。故填unhappy。 二、阅读选择。(共6分，每小题1分) Do you love sugary snacks like cakes and candies? If you say “yes”. Science says this might mean you are a kind person. Researchers from Gettysburg College in the US found a connection between sweet food and a friendly personality (个性). Their study shows people who enjoy sweet food often score higher in “agreeableness”, meaning they are more willing to share or care about others. Earlier studies saw this connection in Americans. Scientists wanted to test if it works around the world. They invited 1,629 people from different countries. Participants first answered questions about their personality such as openness, friendliness and so on. Next they scored 10 kinds of sweet food like chocolate, cookies, and honey from 1 (dislike) to 6 (love). They also listed their favorite tastes according to their preferences: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, or spicy (辣的). The results were clear. Across all cultures, people who loved sweet food were more likely to be kind and trustworthy (值得信赖的). Researchers said, “most people enjoy sweet food, because they are connected to happy memories. For example, families always share desserts on holidays.” Maybe the key lies in language. The word “sweet” describes both food and personality. This makes people connect sugary snacks to being nice. In Western cultures, people describe kind people as “sweet”, such as calling a generous (慷慨的) friend a “sweetheart”. It influences how we think about ourselves and others, shaping our choices without being noticed. For example, if others see you as a helpful person, you may prefer to choose sweet food to match that character. However, the study doesn’t prove eating sweets will lead to kindness—it only shows the connection. Now, here come some fun questions: Do spicy food lovers have more courage in life? Do salty snacks make people strict? More research is needed. Future studies could test how food choices influence real-life acts. For example, do sweet lovers give more to charity? Do sour food lovers follow plans step by step strictly? Understanding these connections may help us learn how culture, language, and personality shape daily choices. Next time you choose a snack, consider this: your preference for candies might just show your sweet side! 52. What can we learn about sweet food lovers from the passage? A. They have more courage. B. They are more likely to be kind. C. They have a better sense of taste. 53. What is the main purpose of the study in the passage? A. To find out the best sweet food around the world. B. To prove memories have a strong influence on food choices. C To explore the connection between sweet snack choices and personality. 54. The writer of the passage probably agrees ________. A. our food choices decide our personality B. people are more strict with salty food lovers C others’ comments on us may influence our snack choices 【答案】52. B 53. C 54. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了美国盖茨堡学院研究人员关于甜食喜好和友好个性之间关联的研究，包括研究过程、结果，还探讨了语言等对这种关联的影响及后续研究方向。 52题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Across all cultures, people who loved sweet food were more likely to be kind and trustworthy (值得信赖的).”可知，喜欢甜食的人更可能善良。故选B。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Researchers from Gettysburg College in the US found a connection between sweet food and a friendly personality (个性). Their study shows people who enjoy sweet food often score higher in “agreeableness”, meaning they are more willing to share or care about others.”可知，研究目的是探索甜食选择和个性之间的关联。故选C。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据“It influences how we think about ourselves and others, shaping our choices without being noticed. For example, if others see you as a helpful person, you may prefer to choose sweet food to match that character.”可知，他人对我们的评价可能影响我们的零食选择。故选C。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025北京八中初一（下）期中 英 语 年级：初一 科目：英语 班级：______ 学号：______ 姓名：______ 考生须知 1.本试卷共12页。正卷共十道大题，59个小题，满分100分；附加卷共两道大题，7个小题，满分10分。考试时间90分钟。 2.请在试卷和答题纸上准确填写班级、学号、姓名。 3.答案一律填写在答题纸上，在试卷上作答无效。 4.考试结束，将试卷和答题纸一并交回。 听力理解(共16分) 一 、听对话或独白，根据对话或独白的内容，从下面各题所给的A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项。每段对话或独白你将听两遍。(共8分，每小题1分) 请听第一段对话，完成第1和第2小题。 1.What is David's favorite sport?

Everyone in his family was asked to sit at the dinner table and listen. “I’m going to take part in the Olympics,” he said. “Can a fourth-grader do that?” asked Anna, his younger sister. “I’m not going now. I’ll go when I’m a little older,” Fred shook his head. “I’ve studied how the sports players become the best. That is practice. If I practice hard enough, I will succeed.” “Sounds like a big challenge,” said Dad. “Which sport will you take up?” “I haven’t made up my mind yet,” said Fred. After a month’s practice, Fred got hurt again and again when he tried to find out which sport was for him. He tried different kinds of sports, such as running, jumping, badminton and so on. But at last he stopped practicing. “It’s too difficult. I don’t think I am good at any sports,” Fred talked to himself. The following Sunday, the family sat down for dinner as usual. “I’ve decided not to play a sport,” said Fred. Everyone was surprised. “You’re giving up your Olympic dream?” said Anna. “I didn’t say I was giving up,” said Fred. “I’m still going to the Olympics.” Anna looked confused (疑惑的). “How can you go if you don’t do a sport?” Fred held up a book titled Is Sports Medicine the Career for You? “Over the past few weeks I’ve found that sports players need much medical help. So I am going to become a sports doctor. I’ll still go to the Olympics, but as a doctor, not a player.” Fred answered confidently. “Now that is another challenge, Fred!” said Dad. “But I’m sure you will try your best to realize your dream.” 22.

Researchers from University College London have studied this interesting idea. Their study is mainly about how exercise influences our brain, especially in older adults. They found that the influence of physical activities can remain even into the next day. In the study, 76 people aged between 50 and 83 took part in different physical activities. These activities such as fast walking, dancing, and climbing stairs made their hearts beat faster. The scientists found that after the activities, the participants (参与者) felt sharper the next day. They not only had better focus (专注力), but also enjoyed better and more peaceful sleep. This is important because good sleep helps us think clearly and remember things better. The study also showed that more sitting and fewer physical activities led to worse cognitive skills (认知技能) the next day. This means if you don’t move much, your brain might feel a bit cloudy and less active. But why is exercise so beneficial to our brains? When we move our bodies and get our hearts beating,more oxygen and nutrients (营养物) reach our brains, helping them work better. Exercise also triggers the production of something special called neurotransmitters (神经递质). They help us feel better and think more clearly. According to the study, you don’t have to go to a gym or follow a strict exercise plan to gain these benefits. Simple activities, like playing sports, riding your bike, or even having a dance party in your room, can help keep your mind sharp. Mikaela Bloomberg, one of the researchers, points out that staying active is something easy to achieve. For students, exercise can lead to better focus in class and better memory for study. It’s advised that kids and teenagers should get at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day. It could be anything you enjoy, like playing outside with friends or joining a sports team. Here comes the advice: the next time you feel a bit inactive or hard to focus, remember to get up and move around. It can help you feel sharper and more alive! 25. According to the study, we can learn that ________. A. more sitting is good for the brain B. physical activities have no influence on us C. doing exercise helps to improve our focus and sleep 26 The word “trigger” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________. A. take something away B. cause something to happen C. have difficulties doing something 27. According to the study, which activity can help us feel better and think more clearly? A. Finishing a big task quickly. B. Keeping reading a book for hours. C. Going mountain climbing with friends. 28. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage? A. How to do exercise in a healthy way. B. Exercise today to feel sharp tomorrow. C. Useful tips on how to stay active at home. 六、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。(共8分，每小题2分) Thanks to social media, common foods like eggs, cheese, cucumbers are becoming superstars! In Iceland, cucumbers and a certain kind of cheese are so popular that stores even run out of them! Why? Because people watch cooking videos online and want to make the same dishes! As you can see, social media is changing our cooking and diet. People have always used new ways to share cooking. Long ago, a French chef started to write cookbooks with pictures to teach others French dishes. In the 1960s, Julia used TV to make cooking fun. She showed how people could make fancy meals at home. Maybe that was the origin (起源) of sharing cooking through electronic media. Nowadays, cooking is one of the most loved topics online, especially during holidays. Many people make videos about cooking, and the videos make cooking fun to share. Some online food videos can even get millions of views. According to a recent (近期的) study, food cooking is the 4th most popular topic online! The Internet can turn anyone into a cooking star! You don’t need to be a fantastic chef to get famous. Nick, a 28-year-old Harvard university student often posts cooking videos online. And his cooking videos have 21 million fans online! Why does social media make us care so much about food? The reason is simple: everyone eats! More importantly, videos teach better than books. Words like “cook until golden” can be confusing, but videos show clearly what to do. Today’s online cooks don’t just share how to cook food—they share a lifestyle. What you eat and watch says something about you. A social media expert (专家) says good cooking stars “Listen to what viewers want”. Some want fun, others want to learn or try new foods through others. So next time you see an Internet-famous recipe, how about searching for videos about it and starting to cook the dish yourself? You might also become a famous cook. 29.
