What information can we get from the passage? ①The reading age. ②The print length. ③The price of the book. ④The language. ⑤The word numbers. ⑥The theme of the story. A. ②④⑤⑥ B. ①②④⑥ C. ②③④⑤ D. ①③⑤⑥ B Since this term, at Beijing New Oriental Foreign Language School in Yangzhou, Jiangsu, there have been big changes both for students and teachers. These changes happened because AI tools were used. By using AI to create personalized (个性化的) exercises and exams, teachers at the school can change their teaching methods in time to suit each student’s needs and abilities. After students finish studying a unit, teachers use AI to pick different questions from an online database (数据库) that includes different kinds of after-school materials. This helps create a special set of exercises for the unit, helping students improve their knowledge as soon as possible. These exercises are then printed on paper. “With this special learning material created by AI, we don’t need to carry all the heavy exercise books any more. I’m really happy with these changes.” said the 14-year-old He Liyan. Students answer the exercise questions on answer sheets first. After that, teachers collect these sheets, scan them into an AI system for grading. The AI creates numbers and pictures that help teachers understand each student’s performance as well as how the whole class is doing overall. “Our teacher no longer explains all the questions one by one. Instead, he or she looks at the common mistakes and provides one-on-one help for every one of us,” said the 15-year-old Wang Dinghan. What’s more, students can get special error exercises or homework created by AI depending on their performance in former exams. “The homework is all about what I got wrong before, so I don’t need to practise over and over again what I already understand,” said he. “I used to have a notebook copying my mistakes so that I can study them,” said Yu Zifu, 15. “But now, AI has done this for me! How useful AI is! It really helps me a lot during my study.” 29. Why does the school in Yangzhou use AI? A. To make teaching more enjoyable for teachers. B. To reduce the amount of homework for students. C. To make students’ exercise books much lighter. D. To improve learning with personalized education. 30. About using the AI system, what can we learn from the students’ words? A. Teachers explain questions more carefully. B. Teachers offer one-on-one help to students. C. Students can copy their mistakes more clearly. D. Students need to practise many times every day. 31. What is the main idea of the passage? A. AI helps students a lot in studying. B. AI brings great fun for students. C. AI frees students from homework. D. AI changes the way of their life. 32. In which part of the website may you find this passage? A. Health. B. Culture. C. Education. D. Nature. C ①Plastic waste is one of the biggest problems our planet faces. Plastic doesn’t go away easily. It stays in the environment for hundreds of years, causing harm to animals, oceans, and nature. Every year, millions of animals suffer because of plastic. Some get sick after eating it, while others get trapped in it. And those huge “plastic islands” in the oceans just keep getting bigger. ②But guess what? Scientists have found something amazing. They’ve found that certain plants and fungi (真菌) can really “eat” plastic! In one experiment, scientists placed a plastic bottle and some fungi inside a box. After a few weeks, the fungi produced special chemicals. These chemicals slowly turned the plastic into tiny pieces. By the end of the experiment, most of the bottle was gone, leaving behind only safe things like water and air. This shows how powerful fungi can be in fighting plastic waste. ③Scientists also found other fungi and small living things in forests and mountains that can break down plastic. These little helpers live well even in bad conditions. Since there are so many of them, they’re great at breaking down hard plastics. ④This finding could change how we ▲ plastic. Old ways like recycling are expensive and don’t always work perfectly. Using plants and fungi to get rid of plastic would cost less and be much friendlier to the environment than factories. ⑤However, there are still problems. First, we need to grow enough of these plastic-eating fungi. And we must make sure they don’t cause any new problems for nature. Also, scientists need to do more research to help these fungi work well in the real world, not just in labs. ⑥Even with these problems, there’s a lot of hope. We could create special farms in the oceans and polluted areas to grow these helpful fungi and plants. With more of them around, they can break down plastic waste faster and more effectively. ⑦If we can make the most of these special fungi, we might finally solve the plastic pollution problem and make our Earth a cleaner place. Scientists are working hard to find out the best ways to use fungi against plastic pollution in the future. 33. What did the scientists find according to their experiment in Paragraph 2? A. Plastic pollution is quite hard to solve. B. Fungi can really break plastic waste. C. People can use fungi instead of plastic. D. Plastic will produce new chemicals. 34. Which phrase is the most suitable to be filled in the ▲ ? A. hand out B. tidy up C. deal with D. care about 35. According to the last paragraph, what might the writer talk about next? A. The future use of plastic-eating fungi. B. New ways to make our Earth cleaner. C. Other ways of solving plastic pollution. D. Some new experiments from scientists. 36. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?（①=Para.1, ②=Para. 2...） A. B. C. D. D One of my clearest childhood memories is sitting at our kitchen table with my father. He put canvases, paints, and brushes in front of me. Then, he showed me how to mix colors and use different materials. Those were the best days — when we let our imaginations run wild and paint whatever came to mind. My father’s love for art started in a tiny village. Even though he didn’t have much, he never let that stop him. He saved money to buy paints and colored pencils. Sometimes, he even drew on the walls of his home! At the age of 15, he took a big risk and moved to America alone. After years of hard work, he finally became a U.S. citizen. As I got older, he continued to give me lessons, teaching me different brush strokes and how to take care of my art supplies. He taught me to find beauty in everything and everyone around me. I grew to love drawing people, as I could highlight the physical features that make everyone unique and beautiful. But things varied when I started looking at my father’s amazing paintings and art on Instagram. Suddenly, I felt like my simple drawings weren’t good enough. His landscapes looked so real, while my drawings seemed plain. I looked through my sketchbooks and found something wrong with every single picture. I used to love art more than anything, but I started thinking I just wasn’t talented. Instead of practising more, I decided to quit drawing. My father quickly noticed that I wasn’t drawing or painting as much any more. One day he said. “Mary, I think you should try out for the art school. When I was your age, I dreamed of having a chance to study art, but it never happened.” His words touched me deeply. So, for the next few months, I got busy. I picked out my best drawings, fixed up the ones that needed work, and filled my portfolio (画夹) with all my art. It wasn’t really easy. But when I was in the face of difficulties, I kept thinking about my father’s story. Looking back at my pictures later, I could see how much I had improved since then. To my surprise, I got into the art school! Walking into that place was like entering a whole new world. Everyone there loved art as much as I did. The teachers didn’t just teach us to draw better; they taught us to be proud of our unique styles. I used to be shy about showing my art, but now I’m not afraid to share it. Thanks to my father, I’ve found my love for art again and learned to be confident in my skills. 37. The meaning of the underlined word varied is close to________. A. changed B. developed C. gathered D. formed 38. In Paragraph 2 Mary introduced her father’s experience to________. A. encourage readers to learn from her father B. show her father’s sad childhood to readers C. tell the roots of her father’s influence on her D. explain why her father loved art very much 39. Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. Mary decided to quit drawing. b. Mary was brave to share her art with others. c. Mary’s father moved to America alone. d. Mary’s father asked her to try out for the art school. e. Mary learned to mix colors and use different materials. A. c-a-e-d-b B. c-e-a-d-b C. e-c-a-b-d D. e-c-a-d-b 40. What’s the best title for this passage? A. Mary’s happiness and sadness in the art life B. The special love and care from Mary’s father C. Some words that Mary never forgot in her life D. A person who influenced Mary’s art life most 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Some dogs have so many toys that it can be difficult for their owners to follow them. There is something special about dogs that might surprise you. According to research, some of our four-legged friends have the ability to remember the names of their toys. ____41____ The research involved five dogs. Researchers firstly taught the dogs the names of 12 new toys. After a month, researchers tested the dogs to see if they could remember the names. ____42____ For the new study each owner took the toys out of hiding.

If the dogs forgot the names of their toys, researchers would believe that they could make the right choices 20.4% of the time—clearly by chance. ____44____ Lead researcher Shany Dror told reporters that the study showed that the dogs kept the names of their toys in their two-year memory. The research team said, “While some dogs can learn the names of objects, it still isn’t clear why others cannot.” Dror said these dogs often had kind owners. ____45____ “If you spend more time with your dog, you will get more back from your kindness,” she said.

However, traditions are not the same in every country. As a European living in China, I have seen some interesting differences. For example, while fruit and milk are common gifts here, in my culture, they might be a better choice when you are visiting someone in the hospital. When you get invited to a dinner party, a bottle of fine wine is also a good gift. Still, it’s best to check if your hosts drink wine in their daily life. Many Europeans will usually open their presents right away, except in places like Germany. It’s also important to take off the price tag before giving gifts. What can you do if you don’t like your gift? In Spain, you still need to say you love the gift to avoid hurting the other person’s feelings. But if they remember to leave the receipt (收据) inside the gift, which is a very common practice in Spain, you can just exchange it for something else. Re-gifting is another good idea, as long as the present looks new. Jennifer Molski from Chicago has turned re-gifting into a nice project, collecting gifts people didn’t want for those in need, CBs News reported. How the present looks is also important. However, by using wrapping paper for every present we buy, we produce a lot of waste. Many Germans use high-quality wrapping paper, but some of them are now choosing newspaper or maps to help the environment. Do Europeans give money as gifts? Yes. Polish couples, for example, often request cash at weddings to cover the cost of the venue and meals. Finally, remember: It’s the thought that counts, not the size or the cost of the gift. 72. Where does the writer come from? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 73. What do most Europeans usually do after receiving gifts? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 74. Why do Spanish people leave the receipt inside the gift? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 75. How do many Germans make their presents look so important? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 76. Do you agree with re-gifting? Why or why not? (请自拟一句话作答) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 八、书面表达（本题满分25分） 77. 假如你是李华, 将参加学校举行的主题为“How to be a civilized（文明的）student?”的校园“文明小卫士”演讲比赛, 请结合下图信息提示, 写一篇英语演讲稿。 注意: 1, 要点齐全, 省略号部分须补充。 2. 文中请勿提及真实的校名及人名。 3. 词数 100 左右, 开头和结尾已给出, 不计入总词数。 Dear classmates, As a Grade 8 student, I think I can do something to be more civilized. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Let’s try our best to become civilized students.

These changes happened because AI tools were used. By using AI to create personalized (个性化的) exercises and exams, teachers at the school can change their teaching methods in time to suit each student’s needs and abilities. After students finish studying a unit, teachers use AI to pick different questions from an online database (数据库) that includes different kinds of after-school materials. This helps create a special set of exercises for the unit, helping students improve their knowledge as soon as possible. These exercises are then printed on paper. “With this special learning material created by AI, we don’t need to carry all the heavy exercise books any more. I’m really happy with these changes.” said the 14-year-old He Liyan. Students answer the exercise questions on answer sheets first. After that, teachers collect these sheets, scan them into an AI system for grading. The AI creates numbers and pictures that help teachers understand each student’s performance as well as how the whole class is doing overall. “Our teacher no longer explains all the questions one by one. Instead, he or she looks at the common mistakes and provides one-on-one help for every one of us,” said the 15-year-old Wang Dinghan. What’s more, students can get special error exercises or homework created by AI depending on their performance in former exams. “The homework is all about what I got wrong before, so I don’t need to practise over and over again what I already understand,” said he. “I used to have a notebook copying my mistakes so that I can study them,” said Yu Zifu, 15. “But now, AI has done this for me! How useful AI is! It really helps me a lot during my study.” 29. Why does the school in Yangzhou use AI? A. To make teaching more enjoyable for teachers. B. To reduce the amount of homework for students. C. To make students’ exercise books much lighter. D. To improve learning with personalized education. 30. About using the AI system, what can we learn from the students’ words? A. Teachers explain questions more carefully. B. Teachers offer one-on-one help to students. C. Students can copy their mistakes more clearly. D. Students need to practise many times every day. 31. What is the main idea of the passage? A. AI helps students a lot in studying. B. AI brings great fun for students. C. AI frees students from homework. D. AI changes the way of their life. 32. In which part of the website may you find this passage? A. Health. B. Culture. C. Education. D. Nature. 【答案】29. D 30. B 31. A 32. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，围绕人工智能在扬州一所学校教学中的应用展开，详细说明了其应用方式、对教学和学生学习的影响。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“By using AI to create personalized (个性化的) exercises and exams, teachers at the school can change their teaching methods in time to suit each student’s needs and abilities.”可知，扬州的这所学校使用人工智能是为了通过个性化教育来促进学习，故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Our teacher no longer explains all the questions one by one. Instead, he or she looks at the common mistakes and provides one-on-one help for every one of us”可知，从学生的话中我们能了解到老师会为学生提供一对一的帮助，故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了江苏扬州的北京新东方外国语学校运用人工智能，为学生提供个性化练习和考试，改变教学方式，帮助学生提高学习效果，所以文章的主要观点是人工智能在学习方面对学生帮助很大，故选A。 32题详解】 推理判断题。文章围绕学校教学中人工智能的应用展开，属于教育领域的内容，所以可能在网站的教育板块找到这篇文章， 故选C。 C ①Plastic waste is one of the biggest problems our planet faces. Plastic doesn’t go away easily. It stays in the environment for hundreds of years, causing harm to animals, oceans, and nature. Every year, millions of animals suffer because of plastic. Some get sick after eating it, while others get trapped in it. And those huge “plastic islands” in the oceans just keep getting bigger. ②But guess what? Scientists have found something amazing. They’ve found that certain plants and fungi (真菌) can really “eat” plastic! In one experiment, scientists placed a plastic bottle and some fungi inside a box. After a few weeks, the fungi produced special chemicals. These chemicals slowly turned the plastic into tiny pieces. By the end of the experiment, most of the bottle was gone, leaving behind only safe things like water and air. This shows how powerful fungi can be in fighting plastic waste. ③Scientists also found other fungi and small living things in forests and mountains that can break down plastic. These little helpers live well even in bad conditions. Since there are so many of them, they’re great at breaking down hard plastics. ④This finding could change how we ▲ plastic. Old ways like recycling are expensive and don’t always work perfectly. Using plants and fungi to get rid of plastic would cost less and be much friendlier to the environment than factories. ⑤However, there are still problems. First, we need to grow enough of these plastic-eating fungi. And we must make sure they don’t cause any new problems for nature. Also, scientists need to do more research to help these fungi work well in the real world, not just in labs. ⑥Even with these problems, there’s a lot of hope. We could create special farms in the oceans and polluted areas to grow these helpful fungi and plants. With more of them around, they can break down plastic waste faster and more effectively. ⑦If we can make the most of these special fungi, we might finally solve the plastic pollution problem and make our Earth a cleaner place. Scientists are working hard to find out the best ways to use fungi against plastic pollution in the future. 33. What did the scientists find according to their experiment in Paragraph 2? A. Plastic pollution is quite hard to solve. B. Fungi can really break plastic waste. C. People can use fungi instead of plastic. D. Plastic will produce new chemicals. 34. Which phrase is the most suitable to be filled in the ▲ ? A. hand out B. tidy up C. deal with D. care about 35. According to the last paragraph, what might the writer talk about next? A. The future use of plastic-eating fungi. B. New ways to make our Earth cleaner. C. Other ways of solving plastic pollution. D. Some new experiments from scientists. 36. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?（①=Para.1, ②=Para. 2...） A. B. C. D. 【答案】33. B 34. C 35. A 36. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨塑料污染问题的严重性及科学家发现的真菌降解塑料的潜在解决方案。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第②段“Scientists placed a plastic bottle and some fungi inside a box… By the end of the experiment, most of the bottle was gone.”可知，科学家将塑料瓶和真菌放入盒子中，实验结束时，大部分塑料瓶消失了。故实验证明真菌能分解塑料。 故选B。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第④段上下文“Old ways like recycling are expensive… Using plants and fungi to get rid of plastic would cost less…”可知，传统回收方式昂贵，利用真菌处理塑料成本更低。故空缺处需填入与“处理”塑料相关的动词短语， “deal with”最符合语境。 故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第⑦段“Scientists are working hard to find out the best ways to use fungi against plastic pollution in the future.”可知，科学家正努力研究未来利用真菌对抗塑料污染的最佳方式。故下文很可能继续讨论真菌的未来应用。 故选A。 【36题详解】 篇章结构题。分析文章结构脉络，第①段提出问题，塑料污染严重性；第②③④段介绍真菌降解塑料这一科学发现；第⑤⑥段介绍真菌降解塑料存在的问题及解决方法；第⑦段总结全文。故选A。 D One of my clearest childhood memories is sitting at our kitchen table with my father. He put canvases, paints, and brushes in front of me. Then, he showed me how to mix colors and use different materials. Those were the best days — when we let our imaginations run wild and paint whatever came to mind. My father’s love for art started in a tiny village. Even though he didn’t have much, he never let that stop him. He saved money to buy paints and colored pencils. Sometimes, he even drew on the walls of his home! At the age of 15, he took a big risk and moved to America alone. After years of hard work, he finally became a U.S. citizen. As I got older, he continued to give me lessons, teaching me different brush strokes and how to take care of my art supplies. He taught me to find beauty in everything and everyone around me. I grew to love drawing people, as I could highlight the physical features that make everyone unique and beautiful. But things varied when I started looking at my father’s amazing paintings and art on Instagram. Suddenly, I felt like my simple drawings weren’t good enough. His landscapes looked so real, while my drawings seemed plain. I looked through my sketchbooks and found something wrong with every single picture. I used to love art more than anything, but I started thinking I just wasn’t talented. Instead of practising more, I decided to quit drawing. My father quickly noticed that I wasn’t drawing or painting as much any more. One day, he said. “Mary, I think you should try out for the art school. When I was your age, I dreamed of having a chance to study art, but it never happened.” His words touched me deeply. So, for the next few months, I got busy. I picked out my best drawings, fixed up the ones that needed work, and filled my portfolio (画夹) with all my art. It wasn’t really easy. But when I was in the face of difficulties, I kept thinking about my father’s story. Looking back at my pictures later, I could see how much I had improved since then. To my surprise, I got into the art school! Walking into that place was like entering a whole new world. Everyone there loved art as much as I did. The teachers didn’t just teach us to draw better; they taught us to be proud of our unique styles. I used to be shy about showing my art, but now I’m not afraid to share it. Thanks to my father, I’ve found my love for art again and learned to be confident in my skills. 37. The meaning of the underlined word varied is close to________.

What’s the best title for this passage? A. Mary’s happiness and sadness in the art life B. The special love and care from Mary’s father C. Some words that Mary never forgot in her life D. A person who influenced Mary’s art life most 【答案】37. A 38. C 39. B 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者回忆父亲如何通过艺术启蒙和言传身教，激发女儿对绘画的热爱，并鼓励她考 入艺术学校重拾自信，最终实现艺术梦想的温情故事。 【37题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“I grew to love drawing people, as I could highlight the physical features that make everyone unique and beautiful.”及“But things varied when I started looking at my father’s amazing paintings and art on Instagram. Suddenly, I felt like my simple drawings weren’t good enough.”可知，作者从“自认为可以突出每个人独特而美丽的外表”到“直到在Instagram上看到父亲令人惊叹的绘画和艺术作品时认为自己简单的画不够好”的心境变化，可推测划线部分varied应与选项A“变化，改变”意思相近。故选A。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“My father’s love for art started in a tiny village. Even though he didn’t have much, he never let that stop him. He saved money to buy paints and colored pencils. Sometimes, he even drew on the walls of his home…”及“As I got older, he continued to give me lessons, teaching me different brush strokes and how to take care of my art supplies. He taught me to find beauty in everything and everyone around me.”可知，第二段描述了作者父亲在贫困山庄坚持艺术的经历及言传身教影响了作者，则在第二段中，玛丽讲述了她父亲的经历以此来说明她父亲对她产生的影响的根源。故选C。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“At the age of 15, he took a big risk and moved to America alone.”、“Then, he showed me how to mix colors and use different materials.”、“My father quickly noticed that I wasn’t drawing or painting as much any more.”、“Mary, I think you should try out for the art school.”及“I used to be shy about showing my art, but now I’m not afraid to share it. ”可知，在父亲15岁时独自搬到了美国；父亲教作者如何混合颜色和使用不同的材料；不久之后父亲注意到作者不是很喜欢画画了；父亲提议作者去艺术学校试试及作者最终敢于与他人分享她的艺术，可推测故事的正确顺序为“c-e-a-d-b”符合。故选B。 【40题详解】 最佳标题类。通读全文，本文主要讲述了作者的父亲通过自身经历，艺术指导和情感支持对女儿艺术生涯的深远影响，选项D“对玛丽艺术生涯影响最大的人”符合。故选D。 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Some dogs have so many toys that it can be difficult for their owners to follow them. There is something special about dogs that might surprise you. According to research, some of our four-legged friends have the ability to remember the names of their toys. ____41____ The research involved five dogs.

The research team said, “While some dogs can learn the names of objects, it still isn’t clear why others cannot.” Dror said these dogs often had kind owners. ____45____ “If you spend more time with your dog, you will get more back from your kindness,” she said.

However, traditions are not the same in every country. As a European living in China, I have seen some interesting differences. For example, while fruit and milk are common gifts here, in my culture, they might be a better choice when you are visiting someone in the hospital. When you get invited to a dinner party, a bottle of fine wine is also a good gift. Still, it’s best to check if your hosts drink wine in their daily life. Many Europeans will usually open their presents right away, except in places like Germany. It’s also important to take off the price tag before giving gifts. What can you do if you don’t like your gift? In Spain, you still need to say you love the gift to avoid hurting the other person’s feelings. But if they remember to leave the receipt (收据) inside the gift, which is a very common practice in Spain, you can just exchange it for something else. Re-gifting is another good idea, as long as the present looks new. Jennifer Molski from Chicago has turned re-gifting into a nice project, collecting gifts people didn’t want for those in need, CBs News reported. How the present looks is also important. However, by using wrapping paper for every present we buy, we produce a lot of waste. Many Germans use high-quality wrapping paper, but some of them are now choosing newspaper or maps to help the environment. Do Europeans give money as gifts? Yes. Polish couples, for example, often request cash at weddings to cover the cost of the venue and meals. Finally, remember: It’s the thought that counts, not the size or the cost of the gift. 72. Where does the writer come from? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 73. What do most Europeans usually do after receiving gifts? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 74. Why do Spanish people leave the receipt inside the gift? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 75. How do many Germans make their presents look so important? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 76. Do you agree with re-gifting? Why or why not? (请自拟一句话作答) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】72. Europe. 73. Open their presents right away. 74. To exchange it for something else. 75. By using high-quality wrapping paper. 76. Yes, because it helps reduce waste and benefits those in need. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了不同文化背景下送礼的习俗差异，包括礼物选择、包装方式、收礼习惯等。 【72题详解】 根据“As a European living in China, I have seen some interesting differences.”可知，作者来自欧洲。故填Europe. 【73题详解】 根据“Many Europeans will usually open their presents right away, except in places like Germany.”可知，大多数欧洲人收到礼物后会立刻打开。故填Open their presents right away. 【74题详解】 根据“But if they remember to leave the receipt (收据) inside the gift, which is a very common practice in Spain, you can just exchange it for something else.”可知，西班牙人将收据放在礼物里是为了方便收礼人更换礼物。故填To exchange it for something else. 【75题详解】 根据“Many Germans use high-quality wrapping paper, but some of them are now choosing newspaper or maps to help the environment.”可知，德国人用高质量的包装纸让礼物显得重要。故填By using high-quality wrapping paper. 【76题详解】 本题是开放性试题，答案言之有理即可，参考答案为Yes, because it helps reduce waste and benefits those in need. 八、书面表达（本题满分25分） 77. 假如你是李华, 将参加学校举行的主题为“How to be a civilized（文明的）student?”的校园“文明小卫士”演讲比赛, 请结合下图信息提示, 写一篇英语演讲稿。 注意: 1, 要点齐全, 省略号部分须补充。 2. 文中请勿提及真实的校名及人名。 3. 词数 100 左右, 开头和结尾已给出, 不计入总词数。 Dear classmates, As a Grade 8 student, I think I can do something to be more civilized. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Let’s try our best to become civilized students.
