专题02 阅读理解 （说明文） 主题01 人与社会-科学 Passage 1 （23-24八年级上·河南省实验中学·期中） Tasty Facts Our sense of taste is amazing and it means we can enjoy different foods from all around the world. To help us eat our food, we have a tongue (舌头) and teeth inside our mouth. On our tongues are lots of little taste buds (味蕾) that help us to taste sweet, sour (酸的), salty, and bitter (苦的) flavor. Our tongues also help us to speak. By moving it, we can change the sounds that come out of our mouth. Did you know? Many of our senses (感觉官能) work together to help us. When we taste our food, we also need our sense of smell. The food sends messages to our nose, and that helps us to enjoy our food even more. If you have a blocked nose, you will find that food doesn’t taste quite the same. Amazing Animal Tongues! Many animals use their tongues when eating their food. Some animals have other uses for them too. Anteaters and frogs use their tongues to catch their prey (猎物). Dogs and cats use their tongues to clean their fir. Dogs also use their tongues to cool themselves down when they get too hot. Tongue Twisters! (绕口令) Tongue twisters are rhymes (押韵词) that are difficult to say quickly. Have a try at these! She sells sea shells on the sea shore. Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, is this the peck of peppers that Peter Piper picked?

The following things can help you store (储存) food. The temperature can be different from shelf (隔板) to shelf. Often, the higher the shelf is, the higher the temperature will be. So try to put ready-to-eat food like burgers, pizza on top shelves. We usually put eggs and dairy products (乳制品) in the middle shelves, such as cheese, butter and yogurt. Bottom (底部) shelves are the coldest part of the fridge, making them perfect for storing raw (生的) meat and seafood. Some fridges have a freezer (冷冻室) for keeping these things. Keeping food in the fridge does not kill bacteria (细菌), but it can stop the bacteria from growing fast. Bacteria can grow quickly in temperatures between 5℃ and 60℃. This is called the Temperature Danger Zone (温度危险区). The temperature in your fridge needs to be between0℃ and 5℃. The freezer temperature below-18℃. Fruit and vegetables can also be stored at room temperature. Try to keep them in a cool dry and dark place, away from sunlight. Once cut, they should be put in the fridge. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．Which of the following should we put on the bottom shelves? A． B． C． D． 2．If you put some food in the Temperature Danger Zone, it will .

D．Stay away from the Temperature Danger Zone. 主题02 人与社会-文化 Passage 1 （24-25八年级上·河南省郑州市第四初级中学·期中） People in Denmark have happier lives than those in many other countries in the world. Why? Because they know how to live happily— “hygge”. But what does “hygge” mean? “Hygge” is a special way of life. Danish people often use the word to tell the way they spend long and cold winter days. With almost 17 hours of darkness (黑暗) every day in winter, they spend more time indoors. At that time Danish people often get together for a meal or hot drinks. After winter, when it’s not so cold, “hygge” looks like picnics in the park, parties in the garden and outdoor movie nights. Therefore, some people say “hygge” means “a cozy feeling” in English. However, playing on your phone at home all day is the least “hygge” thing. TV is OK, but you’d better ask some friends to watch movies with you, as staying together is another key part of being “hygge”. For Danish people, lighting candles (点蜡烛) is the most important part of creating an environment of “hygge” at home. They light more candles each year than any other European country. In a word, “hygge” is about creating a warm environment and enjoying the little simple things in life. By making some small changes (改变) to your life you can practice this way wherever you are. 1．Danish people live happily because _______. A．they have long days in winter B．they spend a lot of time indoors C．they enjoy spending time alone D．they know how to live a happy life 2．The underlined word “cozy” probably means “______”. A．strange B．comfortable C．terrible D．popular 3．Which of the following is NOT a way of “hygge”? A．Watching a movie with your family. B．Holding a garden party with lots of flowers. C．Playing computer games alone at home all day. D．Having afternoon tea with friends in a coffee shop. 4．What is the structure (结构) of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2 ...) A．① / ②③④ / ⑤ B．① / ② / ③④⑤ C．① / ②③④⑤ D．①②③④ / ⑤ 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Ways to live a simple life of “hygge” around the world. B．How “hygge” became famous. C．Denmark—one of the world’s happiest countries. D．“Hygge”—Danish people’s secret to happiness. Passage 2 （23-24八年级上·河南省郑州外国语学校·期中） Parents often find children watch cartoons for at least three to four hours a day. Studies show that kids start watching cartoons on TV at an early age of six months, and by the time they reach the age of two or three, they become fans of cartoons and they would like to spend much time on them. Parents often see this as a problem because most of the kids are too crazy (狂热的) about watching cartoons. Parents think if kids spend too much time on cartoons, they won’t do well at school. Some people think it’s good to watch cartoons. They help the working parents the most because parents can do a lot of work when their kids watch cartoons on TV. When children watch educational cartoons, they get to learn many things. Cartoons also help to improve children’s language skills. Educational cartoons help children try different languages. Kids can learn English well with the help of those cartoon programs. At the same time, some kids can learn about the friendship and teamwork from the cartoons. It is good for them to get on well with their friends and classmates.

A group of students from Tianjin found a problem among young teenagers: Most of them have few ideas about their career (职业) plans. To offer teenagers proper career guidance (指导), the students from Tianjin TEDA No. 1 Middle School started a project called “Dian Zhi Cheng Shi”. “Our survey shows that 75 percent of students want to know more about different jobs. Doctors, accountants (会计) and lawyers are the top three,” said Wang Xinran, 16, the project leader. Based on students’ needs, the team interviewed (采访) 32 experts in different fields and put their interviews online. They shared true stories behind each job, allowing students to learn about the jobs clearly. “We also invited the experts to give speeches in our school in order that students could talk to them face to face,” said Wang. Team member Lu Jinyan said his most impressive (印象深刻的) interview was with a photographer (摄影师). “I used to think being a photographer was cool. But now I know that they need to deal with lots of problems, such as a sudden change of weather or broken cameras. They also need to communicate (交流) with different people, which is very hard.” But the project doesn’t mean disappointing students by telling them the truth. “We want to show their good sides rather than the bad sides,” said group member Zhao Yajie. “The project’s name means turning a career into a poem. We believe working is not just about bread and butter. It should be like a poem, full of love and beauty. And we hope our project can let students know that.” 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By asking questions. B．By giving examples. C．By listing numbers.

I believe that sometimes the school lunches can be a bit small and sometimes don’t give you enough energy for the rest of the day. And then when you get to Grade 6, you have lunch quite late but it is nice having a free hot meal every day.

It’s like their favorite phrase, almost as common as saying “hello” or “goodbye”! In Britain, people use “excuse me” in so many situations, even when they haven’t done anything wrong. Let me tell you about some funny yet charming examples where Brits say this magic word. Imagine you’re walking down a busy London street, and someone wants to pass by. Instead of just squeezing (挤) through, they’ll politely say, “Excuse me.” It’s their way of respecting and asking for a bit of space nicely. In shops or supermarkets, if they needs to reach for something on a higher shelf, Brits often turn to the nearest person and say, “Excuse me,”even if they’re not in anyone’s way. It’s just a habit, a sweet way of making sure they’re not troubling anyone while they reach out their hands. Even in conversations, Brits might say “excuse me” if they need to interrupt (插嘴) someone or if they think they might have misunderstood something. It’s a polite way of making sure the communication goes well. So, why do Brits say “excuse me” so much? Maybe it’s because they’re polite by nature, or perhaps it’s just a cultural habit that’s been passed down through generations (几代人). Whatever the reason, this little phrase adds a warm, friendly touch to everyday communication, making Britain a more pleasant place to be. In conclusion, “excuse me” in Britain is more than just an apology (道歉); it’s a social lubricant (润滑油), a way of showing respect in all walks of life. So next time you’re in the UK and hear this magic word, smile and remember, it’s just a little bit of British charm! 1．When will Brits possibly say “excuse me”? A．When they make a mistake and feel sorry. B．When they ask for directions on the street. C．When they want to start a conversation. D．All the above. 2．Why do Brits say “excuse me” when they reach for something on a higher shelf in shops or supermarkets? A．To ask for help from the nearest person. B．To apologize for being in someone’s way. C．To make sure they are not disturbing anyone. D．To tell others about their intention to buy something. 3．According to the article, why do Brits use “excuse me” so often in conversations? A．To apologize for their mistakes. B．To keep a distance with others. C．To avoid being interrupted by others. D．To make sure they understand the conversation correctly. 4．What does the author describe “excuse me” as in British culture? A．A social lubricant. B．A way to say sorry. C．A sign of weakness. D．A way to avoid responsibility. 5．What is the article mainly about? A．The different ways Brits greet each other.

Passage 3 （23-24八年级上·河南省郑州市·期中） Every year thousands of people get hurt or die when they are crossing the road. Most of these people are old people and children. Old people often get hurt or die because they can’t see or hear very well. Children usually meet with accidents because of their carelessness. They forgot to look and listen before they cross the road. How can we lessen traffic accidents? All of us must obey the traffic rules. For the drivers, they shouldn’t drive too fast. If they drive too fast, it will be very difficult to stop the cars in a very short time. For the pedestrians, it’s very important to be careful when they are walking on the road. Therefore, when we walk across the road, we must try to walk along the pavements. We must stop and look both ways before crossing the road. Look left first, next look right, then look left again. Only when we are sure that the road is clear, we can cross it. The right way to cross the road is to walk quickly. It’s not safe to run. If people run across the road, they may fall down. Teens should try to help children, old people or blind people to cross the road, and never play in the street. 1．Which of the following is NOT the right way to cross the road? A．Stop and look both ways. B．Run quickly. C．Make sure that the road is clear. D．Walk quickly. 2．Why do most old people often get hurt or die when they are crossing the road? A．Because they are not careful. B．Because they forget to look and listen. C．Because they can’t see or hear very well. D．Because they often run across the road. 3．The best title for this article may be ________. A．How to lessen traffic accidents B．How to cross the road C．Please obey the traffic rules D．Meeting with traffic accidents 4．As a student, you can ________ to try to lessen traffic accidents. A．let drivers drive slowly B．play in the street carefully C．run across the road quickly D．help children to cross the road 5．Which can be TRUE according to this passage?

Passage 4 （23-24八年级上·河南省洛阳市·期中） The class in America is almost the same as that, in China. But something is different. In America, if the teacher asks you a question but you don’t understand, you should put up your hand and ask the teacher to repeat it. If you don’t know the answer, it is all right to tell the teacher that you don’t know. Then he or she knows what you need to do. You mustn’t be absent on a test day. If you are seriously ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows you a make-up test (补考), you should take the test in one or two days after you go back to school. Be on time! It is impolite to be late. If you come in late, be sure to do it quietly. Take your books out of your bag after you enter the room. Then go to your seat and sit down quietly. In the US, you needn’t knock before you come into the classroom. If you have to leave during the class, do it quietly, too. There’s no need to ask for the teacher’s agreement. 1．When a teacher asks you a question but you don’t know the answer, you should ________.

Passage 5 （23-24八年级上·河南省郑州市四中·期中） How would you feel if someone decided to take away your park? Well that’s what’s happening in my community（社区）. There’s a park that some people want to turn into a golf course（球场）. Let me tell you why I think it’s a bad idea. First, a park is meant to be for the whole community. Not everyone likes golf, so not everyone will get to use the park. This isn’t fair. A community park should have open spaces for everyone to use. Second, to make way for the golf course, lots of playground equipment（设备）will have to be moved or knocked down, which is a waste of time and money. It’s also a waste of perfectly good equipment. The swings, for example, will probably just end up as litter. Third, what about giving young people something to do? Not all kids are crazy about golf. At the moment, the park has a skating place and a playground. These attract lots of kids from the community. If you turn the park into a golf course, these kids won’t have anywhere to go and they won’t have anything to do. This means that they will stay at home and turn on a video game rather than get some exercise. It also means that they might be out on the street causing trouble. Wouldn’t it be better to give them something to do at the park? Finally, golf is expensive. Building a golf course and maintaining it costs a lot of money. Who is going to pay to maintain the golf course? What about those people who can’t afford to join a golf club? That means that the golf course will only be available（可用的）to people with lots of money. Turning our park into a golf course is a bad idea. I suggest we have a community meeting before plans go any further. 1．Some people want to change the park into ________. A．a golf club B．a golf course C．a park D．a skating place 2．According to Paragraph 4, having nowhere to go will make some children ________. A．go to get some exercise B．fall in love with golf C．play video games at home D．go to the street and make friends 3．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? (P=Paragraph) A． B． C． D． 4．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “maintain”? A．维持 B．参加 C．计划 D．修理 5．What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage? A．To help carry out further plans. B．To make the park more beautiful. C．To encourage children to go skating. D．To stop the golf course from being built. 主题01 人与社会-科学 Passage 1 （23-24八年级上·河南省郑州市第十一初级中学·期中） AI (人工智能) makes our lives easier and better. Let’s see some amazing AIs.

One person, man or woman, stands on stage and tells funny stories, or funny people or funny things that happened to them. The performers will try their best to make people laugh. Stand-up comedy is different from other forms (形式) of acting. Unlike an actor, a stand-up performer is showing himself or herself but not creating characters. An actor usually has a script (剧本) and a team of other actors to work with. However, a good stand-up comedy often depends on performers’ own talent. It usually takes days or even weeks of hard work to make people laugh for a few minutes. That’s why stand-up comedy is seen as one of the hardest acts. Stand-up comedy can take many forms. It can be a monologue (独白) on funny things that may form a story. It can be simply a series of jokes. It can also be performed almost anywhere-clubs, bars or parties. Stand-up comedy has come a long way in the west, but it is a new art form in China. Today the most popular stand-up comedy show in China is Rock&Roast. The show is such a big success that it has opened a new door to the golden age of stand-up comedy. More and more young people are becoming interested in watching stand-up comedy, and some even start doing it part-time. They say it’s a great way to relax. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What is stand-up comedy for? A．To share some information. B．To make fun of people. C．To introduce a new art form. D．To bring people laughter. 2．How are stand-up comedy performers different from actors? A．They create characters. B．They must follow the scripts. C．Their success is much easier.

Passage 2 （22-23八年级上·河南省驻马店市第二初级中学·期中） China is a nation of etiquette（礼仪）. Chinese people are among the most hospitable people in the world. If foreigners visit a Chinese family, they would be surprised at the warmth that they would get as guests. When you visit a Chinese family, the host usually makes tea for you. Then he will serve you snacks（点心）like biscuits（饼干）or candy. At the same time, he will prepare a meal for you. Chinese people serve their guests with a big meal. On the table, the guests must be the first to eat. Perhaps one of the things that surprises a Western guest most is that the Chinese host likes to pick food for visitors, which won’t happen at Western tables. Chinese families try their best to make you feel at home. As you finish eating, the host usually says, “It seems that you didn’t eat much. Please have more.” Although you tell them you are full, they still put more food in your bowl. Being warm and hospitable has been an important part of Chinese culture and tradition. As Confucius（孔子）said thousands of years ago, “To meet friends from afar, how happy we are!” 1．What does the underlined word “hospitable” mean in Chinese? A．朴实的 B．勤劳的 C．有用的 D．好客的 2．As a guest in a Chinese family, what are you usually served by the host? A．Coffee and snacks. B．Tea and snacks. C．Juice and snacks. D．Coffee and juice. 3．Why does a Western visitor feel surprised when the host picks food for him or her? A．Because it won’t happen in Western countries. B．Because he or she thinks it’s not necessary. C．Because he or she thinks it’s not useful. D．Because he or she thinks it’s not polite（礼貌的） 4．Why do Chinese families do so much for the guests? A．To make them feel uncomfortable.

You are thirsty（渴的）after playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink maybe just the thing. But be careful about what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health. There are plenty of “energy drinks” on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great! But after a careful check, you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine（咖啡因）in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much. Caffeine makes your heartbeat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficult sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be stopped from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them. So we should stay away from the energy drinks to keep healthy. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．The energy drinks are popular with ________.

When we taste our food, we also need our sense of smell. The food sends messages to our nose, and that helps us to enjoy our food even more. If you have a blocked nose, you will find that food doesn’t taste quite the same. Amazing Animal Tongues! Many animals use their tongues when eating their food. Some animals have other uses for them too. Anteaters and frogs use their tongues to catch their prey (猎物). Dogs and cats use their tongues to clean their fir. Dogs also use their tongues to cool themselves down when they get too hot. Tongue Twisters! (绕口令) Tongue twisters are rhymes (押韵词) that are difficult to say quickly. Have a try at these!

Why? Because they know how to live happily— “hygge”. But what does “hygge” mean? “Hygge” is a special way of life. Danish people often use the word to tell the way they spend long and cold winter days. With almost 17 hours of darkness (黑暗) every day in winter, they spend more time indoors. At that time Danish people often get together for a meal or hot drinks. After winter, when it’s not so cold, “hygge” looks like picnics in the park, parties in the garden and outdoor movie nights. Therefore, some people say “hygge” means “a cozy feeling” in English. However, playing on your phone at home all day is the least “hygge” thing. TV is OK, but you’d better ask some friends to watch movies with you, as staying together is another key part of being “hygge”. For Danish people, lighting candles (点蜡烛) is the most important part of creating an environment of “hygge” at home. They light more candles each year than any other European country. In a word, “hygge” is about creating a warm environment and enjoying the little simple things in life. By making some small changes (改变) to your life you can practice this way wherever you are. 1．Danish people live happily because _______. A．they have long days in winter B．they spend a lot of time indoors C．they enjoy spending time alone D．they know how to live a happy life 2．The underlined word “cozy” probably means “______”. A．strange B．comfortable C．terrible D．popular 3．Which of the following is NOT a way of “hygge”? A．Watching a movie with your family. B．Holding a garden party with lots of flowers. C．Playing computer games alone at home all day. D．Having afternoon tea with friends in a coffee shop. 4．What is the structure (结构) of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2 ...) A．① / ②③④ / ⑤ B．① / ② / ③④⑤ C．① / ②③④⑤ D．①②③④ / ⑤ 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Ways to live a simple life of “hygge” around the world. B．How “hygge” became famous. C．Denmark—one of the world’s happiest countries. D．“Hygge”—Danish people’s secret to happiness. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文介绍了丹麦人的一种特殊生活方式——“hygge”（舒适惬意）。 1．细节理解题。根据“People in Denmark have happier lives than those in many other countries in the world. Why? Because they know how to live happily— ‘hygge’.”和“‘Hygge’ is a special way of life.”可知，丹麦人生活得很幸福，因为他们知道如何过幸福的生活。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据“After winter, when it’s not so cold, ‘hygge’ looks like picnics in the park, parties in the garden and outdoor movie nights. Therefore, some people say ‘hygge’ means ‘a cozy feeling’ in English.”可知，冬天过后，天气不那么冷，“hygge”看起来就像公园里的野餐、花园里的派对和户外电影之夜。所以是一种舒适的感觉，划线词的意思是“舒适的”，与comfortable意思相近。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“However, playing on your phone at home all day is the least ‘hygge’ thing.”可知，整天在家玩手机是最不“hygge”的事情。所以整天一个人在家玩电脑游戏不是一件“hygge”的事情。故选C。 4．篇章结构题。第一段介绍丹麦人幸福的秘诀在于“hygge”；第二、三、四段详细解释“hygge”的含义和表现形式；第五段总结“hygge”的核心理念，并鼓励读者实践。正确结构为① / ②③④ / ⑤。故选A。 5．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了丹麦人幸福的秘诀是安逸，对丹麦人如何创造安逸的环境进行了详细的介绍。选项D“‘Hygge’——丹麦人幸福的秘诀”符合主题，故选D。 Passage 2 （23-24八年级上·河南省郑州外国语学校·期中） Parents often find children watch cartoons for at least three to four hours a day.

I believe that sometimes the school lunches can be a bit small and sometimes don’t give you enough energy for the rest of the day.

What’s more, water washes out something bad in your body. So drinking enough water can stop you from getting old quickly. If you want to look young and beautiful, drink a glass of water right now! Keep on doing it for a long time, and you will be surprised to find your skin(皮肤) is soft and clean. Last, you save money!

It’s like their favorite phrase, almost as common as saying “hello” or “goodbye”! In Britain, people use “excuse me” in so many situations, even when they haven’t done anything wrong. Let me tell you about some funny yet charming examples where Brits say this magic word. Imagine you’re walking down a busy London street, and someone wants to pass by. Instead of just squeezing (挤) through, they’ll politely say, “Excuse me.” It’s their way of respecting and asking for a bit of space nicely. In shops or supermarkets, if they needs to reach for something on a higher shelf, Brits often turn to the nearest person and say, “Excuse me,”even if they’re not in anyone’s way. It’s just a habit, a sweet way of making sure they’re not troubling anyone while they reach out their hands. Even in conversations, Brits might say “excuse me” if they need to interrupt (插嘴) someone or if they think they might have misunderstood something. It’s a polite way of making sure the communication goes well. So, why do Brits say “excuse me” so much? Maybe it’s because they’re polite by nature, or perhaps it’s just a cultural habit that’s been passed down through generations (几代人). Whatever the reason, this little phrase adds a warm, friendly touch to everyday communication, making Britain a more pleasant place to be. In conclusion, “excuse me” in Britain is more than just an apology (道歉); it’s a social lubricant (润滑油), a way of showing respect in all walks of life.

Most of these people are old people and children. Old people often get hurt or die because they can’t see or hear very well. Children usually meet with accidents because of their carelessness. They forgot to look and listen before they cross the road. How can we lessen traffic accidents? All of us must obey the traffic rules. For the drivers, they shouldn’t drive too fast. If they drive too fast, it will be very difficult to stop the cars in a very short time. For the pedestrians, it’s very important to be careful when they are walking on the road. Therefore, when we walk across the road, we must try to walk along the pavements. We must stop and look both ways before crossing the road. Look left first, next look right, then look left again. Only when we are sure that the road is clear, we can cross it. The right way to cross the road is to walk quickly. It’s not safe to run. If people run across the road, they may fall down. Teens should try to help children, old people or blind people to cross the road, and never play in the street. 1．Which of the following is NOT the right way to cross the road?

Well that’s what’s happening in my community（社区）. There’s a park that some people want to turn into a golf course（球场）. Let me tell you why I think it’s a bad idea. First, a park is meant to be for the whole community. Not everyone likes golf, so not everyone will get to use the park. This isn’t fair. A community park should have open spaces for everyone to use. Second, to make way for the golf course, lots of playground equipment（设备）will have to be moved or knocked down, which is a waste of time and money. It’s also a waste of perfectly good equipment. The swings, for example, will probably just end up as litter. Third, what about giving young people something to do? Not all kids are crazy about golf. At the moment, the park has a skating place and a playground. These attract lots of kids from the community. If you turn the park into a golf course, these kids won’t have anywhere to go and they won’t have anything to do. This means that they will stay at home and turn on a video game rather than get some exercise. It also means that they might be out on the street causing trouble. Wouldn’t it be better to give them something to do at the park? Finally, golf is expensive. Building a golf course and maintaining it costs a lot of money. Who is going to pay to maintain the golf course? What about those people who can’t afford to join a golf club? That means that the golf course will only be available（可用的）to people with lots of money. Turning our park into a golf course is a bad idea. I suggest we have a community meeting before plans go any further. 1．Some people want to change the park into ________. A．a golf club B．a golf course C．a park D．a skating place 2．According to Paragraph 4, having nowhere to go will make some children ________. A．go to get some exercise B．fall in love with golf C．play video games at home D．go to the street and make friends 3．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? (P=Paragraph) A． B． C． D． 4．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “maintain”? A．维持 B．参加 C．计划 D．修理 5．What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage? A．To help carry out further plans. B．To make the park more beautiful. C．To encourage children to go skating. D．To stop the golf course from being built. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了作者所居住的社区要把一个公园改成一个高尔夫球场，作者认为这是一个坏主意，详细地列出了自己这么想的原因。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“There’s a park that some people want to turn into a golf course.”可知，有些人想把公园改成高尔夫球场，故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段第五句“This means that they will stay at home and turn on a video game rather than get some exercise”可知无处可去将使一些孩子在家里玩电子游戏，故选C。 3．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段主要介绍了在作者所居住的社区，要把一个公园改成一个高尔夫球场，作者认为这是一个坏主意；第二段到第五段分别介绍了作者认为这是一个坏主意的原因；最后一段总结概括。故选D。 4．词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段第二句“Building a golf course and maintaining it costs a lot of money. ”中的连词“and”可知，maintaining与前面动名词“building建设”是并列关系，结合备选答案，A选项“维持”符合题意，故选A。 5．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Tuning our park into a golf course is a bad idea. I suggest we have a community meeting before plans go any further.”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的主要是为了阻止高尔夫球场的修建，故选D。 主题01 人与社会-科学 Passage 1 （23-24八年级上·河南省郑州市第十一初级中学·期中） AI (人工智能) makes our lives easier and better.

One person, man or woman, stands on stage and tells funny stories, or funny people or funny things that happened to them. The performers will try their best to make people laugh. Stand-up comedy is different from other forms (形式) of acting. Unlike an actor, a stand-up performer is showing himself or herself but not creating characters. An actor usually has a script (剧本) and a team of other actors to work with. However, a good stand-up comedy often depends on performers’ own talent. It usually takes days or even weeks of hard work to make people laugh for a few minutes. That’s why stand-up comedy is seen as one of the hardest acts. Stand-up comedy can take many forms. It can be a monologue (独白) on funny things that may form a story. It can be simply a series of jokes. It can also be performed almost anywhere-clubs, bars or parties. Stand-up comedy has come a long way in the west, but it is a new art form in China. Today the most popular stand-up comedy show in China is Rock&Roast. The show is such a big success that it has opened a new door to the golden age of stand-up comedy. More and more young people are becoming interested in watching stand-up comedy, and some even start doing it part-time. They say it’s a great way to relax. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What is stand-up comedy for? A．To share some information. B．To make fun of people. C．To introduce a new art form.

Chinese people are among the most hospitable people in the world. If foreigners visit a Chinese family, they would be surprised at the warmth that they would get as guests. When you visit a Chinese family, the host usually makes tea for you. Then he will serve you snacks（点心）like biscuits（饼干）or candy. At the same time, he will prepare a meal for you. Chinese people serve their guests with a big meal. On the table, the guests must be the first to eat. Perhaps one of the things that surprises a Western guest most is that the Chinese host likes to pick food for visitors, which won’t happen at Western tables. Chinese families try their best to make you feel at home. As you finish eating, the host usually says, “It seems that you didn’t eat much. Please have more.” Although you tell them you are full, they still put more food in your bowl. Being warm and hospitable has been an important part of Chinese culture and tradition. As Confucius（孔子）said thousands of years ago, “To meet friends from afar, how happy we are!” 1．What does the underlined word “hospitable” mean in Chinese?

You are thirsty（渴的）after playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink maybe just the thing. But be careful about what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health. There are plenty of “energy drinks” on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great! But after a careful check, you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine（咖啡因）in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much. Caffeine makes your heartbeat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficult sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be stopped from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them. So we should stay away from the energy drinks to keep healthy. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．The energy drinks are popular with ________. A．children and women B．policemen, students and busy people C．old people, young people and students D．students, busy people, young people and sports players 2．What does the underlined word “limited” mean in Chinese? A．限制 B．唤醒 C．扩大 D．推广 3．What does the third paragraph mainly talk about? A．The uses of caffeine. B．The dangers of caffeine. C．The reason for heart problems. D．The causes of difficult sleeping. 4．What is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．What’s the use of energy drinks? B．Who can drink energy drinks? C．What’s that in energy drinks? D．What should we drink? 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了功能饮料的危害，因为这些饮料中含有大量的咖啡因。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“These drinks are especially aimed at young people, student busy people and sports players. ”可知，这些饮料针对的人群是年轻人、学生、工作忙碌的人及运动员。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据上文“Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited its use.”可知，提到咖啡因可以使你心脏加速，为此，国际奥委会限制了咖啡因的使用，limit意为“限制”。故选A。 3．主旨大意题。根据“Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks.”可知，第三段讲的是咖啡因的危害。故选B。 4．篇章结构题。第一段讲述的是天气热的时候我们喜欢喝饮料，但是有些饮料对健康并没有好处；第二段讲的是市场上的功能饮料里面含有咖啡因，喝多了对身体并不好；第三段讲的是咖啡因的危害，并建议青少年少喝含有大量咖啡因的功能饮料；第四段总结我们应该远离功能饮料，以保持健康。文章应该是“总—分—总”结构，故选B。 5．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了功能饮料的危害，因为这些饮料中含有大量的咖啡因，故C项“能量饮料中有什么？”适合为本文标题。故选C。 Passage 2 （23-24八年级上·河南省实验中学·期中） Our teacher did a survey about what his students did during the summer holidays in class, and here are their answers to the questions.
