Jake worked as a volunteer at the retirement home twice a week.One sunny afternoon,Emily sat in her favourite place in the yard,her knitting needles clicking softly.Nearby,Jake sat on a chair,playing his guitar,deep in thought.The lovely music from his guitar passed softly through the air. 初二英语第4页（共10页） Interested in the music,Emily walked over to him.Her smile was as warm as the sun."You play beautifully,dear,"she said.Jake looked up,surprised by her kind words,and offered a shy smile in return. From that day on,their friendship grew quickly.Emily told stories from her younger days,talking about how popular swing dancing was.Jake,in turn, introduced her to the world of modern music.He played songs that made her feel joyful and want to dance. They spent hours together,teaching and learning from each other.Emily helped Jake work through the troubles of life and love,while he lighted her love for music and adventure.They even started a small knitting and guitar club at the retirement home, bringing joy to the other people there. As the seasons changed,so did their lives.Emily's knitting needles created a colourful scarf for Jake,while Jake wrote a heartfelt song to celebrate their friendship. Their friendship went across age,showing that friendship can last forever. Their heartwarming story became a symbol of hope for everyone who heard it-a sign that the most meaningful connections can be found in the most unexpected places. 22.What brought Emily and Jake together first?

D.He created a scarf for her. 24.What is the main message of the story? A.Hobbies make life enjoyable. B.Real friendship knows no age. C.Music is a language that bridges ages. D.Life lessons always pass from the old to the young. C Have you got a good memory(记t忆；记t忆力)？If you answered“yes”,then you might want to think again.Research has shown that your memory may not be as good as you think.Since our memories help us remember the past,learn from our mistakes, and shape who we are,this may not be such good news! 初二英语第5页（共10页） When we describe something that has happened to us,we often change small parts of the story each time we tell it.This may happen because we want what we say to sound true,or we want the listener to see the story in a certain way-like finding it funny or feeling sorry for us-so we might make changes consciously.Later,when we tell the story again,it is likely to be quite different from what we actually experienced. Think about those times when you were with friends and you experienced something amazing,exciting,or terrible together.You can be almost certain that their memory of the event (isn't quite the same as yours,even though you shared the same experience.Sometimes we even create "false memories"according to stories we know about ourselves.We don't actually remember these events,but after hearing these stories so many times,we begin to imagine them and turn them into memories. Also,when we tell the same memory to different people,the way we tell the story may change,and that changes the memory too.The way we tell the story becomes our memory of what happened,whether or not it truly happened that way.Our memories change over time depending on our reasons for retelling them and how we retell them. Even as we go over a memory in our heads,we are likely to make small changes to it. And if we can't remember some of the small details,we often make them up () What's more,we usually don't question our memories once we have them.So the last way we remembered something becomes the memory we accept as true. So,next time someone asks whether you're telling the truth and you believe you are-you might still be wrong! 25.What does the word "consciously"in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A.Without knowing. B.Without thinking. C.By mistake. D.On purpose. 初二英语第6页（共10页） For many kids,digital payments are becoming part of everyday life.With smartphones or cards,it's common to buy things without cash.According to NewsHour,about half of kids aged 10 to 12 own a smartphone.Some families are using apps to help kids manage money. Digital money is easy to carry,and you don't have to worry about losing notes or carrying coins.But when money becomes just numbers on a screen,it can feel less real.And when money doesn't feel real,it's easier to spend too much without thinking. Scientists say that kids learn best through hands-on experiences.When you count change or hand over cash,you understand its value more clearly.It feels like something you're giving up.But when you buy something online or tap your phone, nothing feels like it's missing.That small difference can change the way kids think about money. Still,many kids are learning how to manage money in this new digital world. When News Hour asked students questions about money,one kid quickly answered that there are 15 quarters in $3.75.Even without using coins,some kids are excellent at money maths.But managing money isn't just about maths-it's also about habits (习惯). To help kids form good habits,many parents use tools to give their children money for doing chores..These tools help kids divide(分开)their money into“spend'”, “save”,and“give”,and let parents keep an eye on how the money is used.Some apps also teach lessons about saving and investing ()Schools are also taking part, offering classes on money management. Talking about money at home is just as important.Whether using cash or cards, learning how to plan for spending and save for future goals helps kids feel confident with money. Living in a cashless world isn't a bad thing,but it means kids need new skills. With the right support from parents,teachers,and technology,they can grow up to be financially(经济上)smart--even without ever carrying a coin. 31.What did saving money mean not too long ago? 32.What are the advantages of digital money mentioned in the passage? 33.How can kids understand the value of money more clearly according to scientists? 34.What will you do to manage money in a cashless society?(Give two examples. 初二英语第9页（共10页） 五、完成句子（每题1分，共4分） 根据中英文提示补全句子。 35.昨晚聚会上每个人看上去都很高兴。 Everyone at the party last night. 36.只要你努力学习，就会在考试中表现优异。 You will do well in exams 37.玲玲说从树上摘下叶子是不对的。 Lingling said 38.尽管是二手商品，但这台相机依然状态很好。 Although second-hand,this camera is still 六、文段表达(10分) 39.根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的英语文段写作。所给提示词语仅供 选用。已给出的文段内容不计入总词数。 假设你是李华，你校英语社团将在暑期为外国来访学生举办为期一周的中文夏令 营，为此在校内征集师生的建议。请你给学校英语社团公众号留言，为中文夏令营活动 提供建议并说明理由。 提示词语：classes,visit,practise,improve,culture 提示问题：·What do you suggest for the Chinese Language Summer Camp?
