But it is said that about 90 percent of them have died in the last 10 years. ②Scientists at the University of Washington are researching (研究) to understand why the sea stars died. To do so, they are growing them in a lab (实验室). They have about 150 sea stars between the ages of one and three, and around 5,000 baby sea stars. They also have 16 adult sea stars from ocean (海洋) waters. ③The result shows the illness that killed them is known as sea star wasting syndrome (消耗综合征). Jason Hodin, the top researcher at the lab, said that the illness might have happened because of warmer water caused (引起) by climate (气候) change. ④Another group from the university is also working on the study. They are trying to find out if warmer water changes the way the sea stars move. The group is using special cameras to see how the sea stars move and to create 3D．pictures. The pictures would show differences even with small changes to their environments (环境) - such as a small water temperature change. ⑤So far, the researchers think the sea stars are able to live in warmer water.

They spend more than half their lives sleeping and enjoy every minute of it. However, other animals have different sleeping habits. Horses may not look like they are asleep. But they are! Horses spend about six hours, sleeping every day and they do it standing up! Fish also sleep every day but they have a strange (奇怪的) habit. They don’t close their eyes when they are sleeping. When ducks sleep they keep one eye open and half of the brain awake. It helps them stay alert and watch out for dangerous animals. So what about humans (人类) ?

They keep our air clean, make less noise pollution, make water cleaner and provide (提供) food and building materials (材料). ②Just like us, trees change (改变) a lot as they grow. At one to three years old, young trees learn how to protect (保护) themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns (刺) to stop animals to go near. ③At the age of four years old, trees begin to grow very quickly and become strong enough to face many difficulties later in life. At the age of 15, trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit (开花结果). ④When the tree is 20 to 25 years old, it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. Not only does the adult tree gives us shade, oxygen and natural beauty (树荫、氧气和大自然之美), it is also a great place for a tree house, or a place for us to read a book, listen to music and so on. If the adult tree can have a good care, it will go on to live healthily for many years. ⑤Little by little, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have their important place in nature (大自然). When a tree becomes hollow (空心的) or part of it becomes dead, it becomes a home to small animals and is a source (来源) of food for many other animals. ⑥In many ways, the life of a tree is similar to our own life experience. When looking at the life of a tree, we learn about that each period (时期) of life brings its own kind of happiness and difficulties.

DNA left behind like this is “environmental” DNA, or eDNA．Scientists can use it to tell what kinds of animals are in a certain place. ②Testing eDNA isn’t a new idea. Most of the time, ▲ . But now, two teams of scientists have found a new way of identifying animals in an area by testing eDNA in the air. ③ Both teams chose to test in zoos because wild animals were not easy to find in the area. One team collected samples (样本) from different places at Denmark’s Copenhagen Zoo, and the other team did it at Hamerton Zoo Park in the UK. ④ Interestingly, both teams used vacuums (真空吸尘器) and fans to get small bits of eDNA in the air. After collecting samples, they went back to the lab and compared (比较) their samples with examples of DNA from different animals. Therefore, the scientists were able to identify many different animals at the zoos. ⑤ Both teams have followed different animals, even the ones in danger without interfering (干扰) with them in this new way. They were so excited about their new way that they put their results of the test together and wrote a paper together in order to invite more scientists to join them. ⑥However, it’s still unknown if this new way will work out fine or not in the wild world. If scientists know where the wild animals live, they can do a better job of protecting them. ⑦ So the next step is to find out how to take this new method into wild world. 9．What does “it” refer to in the first paragraph?

Shouting sounds of pain (疼痛) are different in different countries. “Ow” or “ouch” are heard in English. South Africans cry “eina”. Italians shout “ahia” and Chinese shout “aiyo”. But why will we shout when we get hurt (受伤)? ②Scientists from the National University of Singapore found the answer. The scientists tested how long volunteers (志愿者) could put their hands in very cold water. ③On the first day, volunteers were asked to shout “ow” when they felt the pain. On the second day, they had to keep quiet. Scientists tested these volunteers three times each day. The results showed that if volunteers shouted out, they could keep their hands in the cold water for a longer time. ④“We find that when we shout a simple sound such as “ow”, we just need to open our mouths and flatten our tongues (平放舌头). It’s a simple sound that needs little control (控制),” said one of the scientists. ⑤He also said, “We will cry out when we get hurt, because the simple sound helps us to feel less painful. The shouting sound makes a difference to the transmission (传送) of pain messages to the brain (大脑). So shouting it out makes us think less about the pain.” ⑥Now we know the answer.

Animals don’t communicate in as many ways as us— for example, they don’t have languages like we do— but many animals do also use the senses of sight, touch, and hearing. A good example of this is elephant communication. Like us, elephants understand each other by looking at each other’s body language. To send a message, they use their whole body, or just their heads, eyes, mouth, ears, trunk, tail, or feet. For example, elephants spread (展开) their ears to show anger. And while people shake (摇晃) their heads to say no, elephants do this to show they are happy. Touch is also very important between elephants. Just like a human mother holds her baby, a mother elephant regularly (有规律地) touches her young baby with her trunk. Elephants also show they are friendly when they touch other elephants. And when they want to have fun, they hold each other by the trunk and pull. Although they can’t laugh like a human, elephants have a great sense of humor. Elephants have very large ears, which means they can hear other elephants from as far as 2. 5 miles away. Like humans, they can also copy sounds and make their own sounds that seem to communicate some human words and phrases like, “Hello” “I love you” and “Let’s go”. So while it’s true that humans are amazing at communication, elephants also communicate in ways that we can’t, and that may be true for other animals, too. The next time your pet dog or cat looks at you, touches you, or makes a noise, maybe it’s trying to tell you something very important! 26．How do elephants show they are happy?

Do you know what it is? 5G means “5th generation mobile network (第五代移动通信技术)”. Each mobile network generation is faster and more powerful than the one before it. In 1980s, with 1G, we made phone calls for the first time. Around ten years later, 2G let us send messages. Then in 2000s, using the Internet listening to music and sending emails appeared in people’s life for 3G. Later, we could watch films and even buy things in 2010s with 4G. To our surprise, 5G is coming now. Do you have online classes at home? With 5G, you can have classes outside your home. The class can go as well as the ones you have at home. Students from poor areas can have the chance to study just like you do. In some movies, you might see cars that can drive by themselves—you tell them where you want to go, and they take you there as fast as possible. With 5G, cars like this may appear (出现) in our life. It makes self-driving cars safer. These cars can send messages to each other. They can also “talk” to traffic lights. 5G will make cars move even faster than human drivers. 5G networks are about 100 times faster than 4G. This means you can download (下载) a movie in seconds using 5G, and makes your video calls (视频电话) clearer. What’s more, VR games will become more popular with 5G.

Some famous writers write many books which give us a lot of advice (建议), such as Sally Seaman, an American writer. She tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed (种子) and take care of it to make it grow. First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend?

Most people usually do not. When we are healthy, breathing happens so naturally and easily that we could hardly know it. That’s why for many people, the human breathing system (系统) seems to have no influence (影响) on us, although our breathing muscles (肌肉) are working every minute of the day, every day of our lives. ②And experts say that deep breathing is important because it’s good for both our body and mind. ③When you breathe deeply, the air comes into your nose and make your lungs (肺) full, which helps your body fully exchange incoming oxygen (氧气) with outgoing carbon dioxide (二氧化碳). So if you practice deep breathing over and over again, it can help remove (除去) dirty air from the lungs. This will increase (增加) oxygen levels and get your lungs to return to its job of helping you breathe. ④Also, deep breathing is a good way to reduce (减少) stress and help you relax. If you are too tired to go on working, why not stop and find a place to sit or lie down? Then take a slow, deep breath through your nose. Feel your hand go up. Your stomach (胃) should rise and expand. Now breathe out slowly through your mouth. If you keep doing that for three to five times, you can find it easy to calm down and relax yourselves. Some experts even advise to practice deep breathing, for at least ten minutes every day. When you are doing that, try to forget about all the annoying things that you have to do. One day, you will find that you are more relaxed when facing a big challenge. ⑤In a word, deep breathing can bring a lot of benefits (好处) to people. So, start practicing it as much as possible. 50．Which of the following is TRUE? A．The human breathing system has no influence on us. B．Deep breathing is important because it’s just good for our bodies. C．We can find it easy to calm down and relax ourselves by practicing deep breathing.

And a story can be told about each of them. “Hot” is a simple, easily-understood word. So most of the expressions are made with the word “hot”, such as hotpot, hotline and so on. ________ Here are some different expressions about it. Take this expression “hot potato” for example. The potato is a popular vegetable in the United States. Many people like baked (烤) potatoes, cooked in an oven or fire. Imagine trying to carry a hot, baked potato in your hand. It would be difficult or even painful to do so. Now we are getting close to the meaning of hot potato. Sometimes we can find a problem difficult to deal with, as difficult as holding a hot potato. Another expression is “not so hot”. If you ask someone how she feels, she may answer, “not so hot.” What she means is that she does not feel well. Not so hot is also a way of saying that you do not really like something. You may tell a friend that the new play you saw last night is not so hot. That means you did not think it was a success. A “hot shot” is a person —often a young person—who thinks he can do anything. At least he wants to try. He is very sure he can succeed. But often he fails. Hot is a word that is often used to talk about anger. An angry person’s neck often becomes red. We say he is hot under the collar(衣领). And a person often acts too quickly, without thinking of what might happen. He is called a hothead. It’s very interesting, isn’t it?

When she moved her arms up and down, she flew higher into the sky. She felt as free as a bird. Flying is a good symbol in a dream. Flying in dreams may mean success (成功) and “being on top of it all”. ③Jason, a 14-year-old boy, said that he had a bad dream that kept coming back. He walked out of his bedroom, and a monster (怪物) came out and ran after him. Monsters in dreams often show fears (恐惧). For Jason, the monsters may be the people who he is afraid of. Or it may mean Jason’s fears about exams at school and he is very sad. ④More common symbols make your dreams interesting and colorful. For example, fire drives away (驱走) darkness. People’s lives may be full of hope if there is fire in their dreams. Mountains are difficult things, so to dream of climbing to the top of the mountain can show a true feeling of success. Food is a symbol of knowledge (知识) because the body needs it just as our mind needs information. However, it could just be food. ⑤Dreaming is like a bridge and it brings your life together with your feelings and memories (记忆). You may dream the same things again and again.

The steps to make Li brocade were an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) by UNESCO in 2009. The Li people don’t have their own written language. So they use pictures on Li brocade to record their history, ideas and traditions. One traditional picture is called “Da Li Shen” or God of great strength. It’s important in the Li culture and shows the Li people’s wishes for togetherness and happiness. Mothers have passed down (传递) Li brocade-making skills to daughters for generations(世代). However, there are fewer Li women to do this now. Fu Haikang, 40, is the only man inheritor (传承人) of Li brocade making skills in Baisha Li autonomous county (白沙黎族自治县) in Hainan. When his grandma showed him the traditional clothes of the Li people during his childhood, he was surprised by their beauty. In 2014, he began learning Li brocade-making skills from his teacher and would sometimes practice for over 10 hours a day. Though Fu felt shy at first while sitting with a group of women to learn skills, he believes that the skills are not only for girls and that he can do as well as they do. “I just want to do what I love,” Fu said. Fu became an inheritor of the Li brocade-making skills in 2022. After that, he went to schools and towns to teach people these traditional skills. His students are aged from 9 to 60. “In fact, many people in Baisha county don’t know the skills,” Fu said.

Recently, some Chinese scientists (科学家) have developed a new way. They turned CO₂, one of the main greenhouse gases, into starch (淀粉). Starch is the main part of flour (面粉), rice and corn that we eat every day. Usually, it is created by plants with CO₂, water and sunlight. According to the team leader, Ma Yanhe, it took the plants nearly 60 steps to get starch. But now, the team, after six years of hard work, has found a better way with only 11 steps. “Our study shows that creating something like starch is possible in a lab, and this technology may be helpful in many areas.” said Ma. The scientists first turned CO₂ and hydrogen (氢气) into methanol (甲醇). Then they piecedc(分解) these methanol molecules (分子) into bigger and more complex (复杂的) molecules. At last, the starch was produced (生产). This method makes it possible to produce food in factories, taking the place of traditional farming. This will not only help make plenty of food, but also save water and land. It may also help recycle CO₂ to deal with climate change (气候变化), according to China Daily. The study can be helpful in space, too. Astronauts may no longer need to worry about their food as they travel in space. They may just turn the CO₂ into the food they eat! 70．What could the Chinese scientists do from paragraph 1 and 2? A．Turning air into starch. B．Turing CO₂ into starch. C．Making greenhouse gases. D．Making food in factories. 71．What does “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Flour. B．Rice. C．Corn. D．Starch. 72．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A．The study will be of no help in space. B．The way may be helpful in lots of areas. C．The way will help to make much food. D．It takes fewer steps to make starch in the lab. 73．Where could we probably read the passage? A．From an ad. B．From a newspaper. C．From a story. D．From a game show. （重庆市大足区邮亭中学等五校2024-2025学年八年级上学期期中 ） Many people say that they are working too many hours. They don’t have enough time to relax or to stay with their family. Work hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year than a French worker. Why do people work so many hours? Some people work extra (额外的) hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies (公司) don’t pay overtime. Their workers don’t get more pay for more work. Some people think it’s their duty (职责) to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don’t work more hours. Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks. One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days. In Great Britain, there is a saying, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull (迟钝的) boy.” If that is true, there must be a lot of dull people in the world. 74．A Japanese worker works ________ more hours a year than a French one.

They have a fantastic world with heroes like Monkey King, but most of their other heroes come from the old stories from Europe.”和下文“It’s called Honor of Kings. Many of its heroes come from Chinese history and legends.”可知，文章提到Dota和Dota 2这两款游戏，虽然它们有像孙悟空这样的英雄，但大部分英雄来自欧洲古老的故事；此处存在一个转折，即虽然有些游戏包含了中国元素，但并非完全基于中国文化和故事，所以这里应该介绍一款改变这种状况的游戏；选项B“然而，后来一款令人兴奋的游戏改变了游戏世界。”符合语境。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Making a game like Black Myth: Wukong takes a lot of time and money.”可知，制作像《黑色神话：悟空》这样的游戏需要花费大量时间和金钱；据此可以推断，制作像《黑色神话：悟空》这样的游戏并不容易。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了新游戏《黑神话：悟空》的受欢迎程度，强调了它展示了中国游戏制作人的创意和中国文化的魅力，以及它在全球范围内的广泛影响。故选D。 （重庆市为明学校2024-2025学年八年级上学期期中 ） ①Trees are one of the oldest plants of our Earth. They keep our air clean, make less noise pollution, make water cleaner and provide (提供) food and building materials (材料). ②Just like us, trees change (改变) a lot as they grow. At one to three years old, young trees learn how to protect (保护) themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns (刺) to stop animals to go near. ③At the age of four years old, trees begin to grow very quickly and become strong enough to face many difficulties later in life. At the age of 15, trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit (开花结果). ④When the tree is 20 to 25 years old, it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. Not only does the adult tree gives us shade, oxygen and natural beauty (树荫、氧气和大自然之美), it is also a great place for a tree house, or a place for us to read a book, listen to music and so on. If the adult tree can have a good care, it will go on to live healthily for many years. ⑤Little by little, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have their important place in nature (大自然). When a tree becomes hollow (空心的) or part of it becomes dead, it becomes a home to small animals and is a source (来源) of food for many other animals. ⑥In many ways, the life of a tree is similar to our own life experience. When looking at the life of a tree, we learn about that each period (时期) of life brings its own kind of happiness and difficulties. Enjoy every minute of the life of it and take care of the trees! 5．From the passage, we know trees learn to protect themselves at the age of ________.

Every living thing has DNA, so scientists can use it to identify (识别) living things. They leave bits of DNA behind wherever they go. DNA left behind like this is “environmental” DNA, or eDNA．Scientists can use it to tell what kinds of animals are in a certain place. ②Testing eDNA isn’t a new idea. Most of the time, ▲ . But now, two teams of scientists have found a new way of identifying animals in an area by testing eDNA in the air. ③ Both teams chose to test in zoos because wild animals were not easy to find in the area. One team collected samples (样本) from different places at Denmark’s Copenhagen Zoo, and the other team did it at Hamerton Zoo Park in the UK. ④ Interestingly, both teams used vacuums (真空吸尘器) and fans to get small bits of eDNA in the air. After collecting samples, they went back to the lab and compared (比较) their samples with examples of DNA from different animals. Therefore, the scientists were able to identify many different animals at the zoos. ⑤ Both teams have followed different animals, even the ones in danger without interfering (干扰) with them in this new way. They were so excited about their new way that they put their results of the test together and wrote a paper together in order to invite more scientists to join them. ⑥However, it’s still unknown if this new way will work out fine or not in the wild world. If scientists know where the wild animals live, they can do a better job of protecting them. ⑦ So the next step is to find out how to take this new method into wild world. 9．What does “it” refer to in the first paragraph? A．DNA． B．A living thing. C．eDNA． D．an animal. 10．Which sentence can be put into ▲ ? A．Scientists had no idea of how to look for eDNA． B．Scientists couldn’t agree on how to look for eDNA． C．Scientists looked for the eDNA in the water. D．Scientists tried to find new ways to look for eDNA． 11．What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A．Both teams used vacuums and fans to collect small bits of eDNA in the air. B．The new way of testing eDNA in the air may help save more wild animals. C．Both teams collected eDNA samples in the wild world in the same way. D．The new way of testing eDNA in the air is only helpful for pets. 12．Which is the best title for the passage? A．Two Teams of Scientists Find Wild Animals B．Differences between DNA and eDNA C．Scientists Identify Animals by eDNA in the Air D．How to Save Endangered Animals 13．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

Suddenly (突然), he falls down and breaks his arm. “Ow!” he shouts. Shouting sounds of pain (疼痛) are different in different countries. “Ow” or “ouch” are heard in English. South Africans cry “eina”. Italians shout “ahia” and Chinese shout “aiyo”. But why will we shout when we get hurt (受伤)? ②Scientists from the National University of Singapore found the answer. The scientists tested how long volunteers (志愿者) could put their hands in very cold water. ③On the first day, volunteers were asked to shout “ow” when they felt the pain. On the second day, they had to keep quiet. Scientists tested these volunteers three times each day. The results showed that if volunteers shouted out, they could keep their hands in the cold water for a longer time. ④“We find that when we shout a simple sound such as “ow”, we just need to open our mouths and flatten our tongues (平放舌头). It’s a simple sound that needs little control (控制),” said one of the scientists. ⑤He also said, “We will cry out when we get hurt, because the simple sound helps us to feel less painful. The shouting sound makes a difference to the transmission (传送) of pain messages to the brain (大脑). So shouting it out makes us think less about the pain.” ⑥Now we know the answer. So, boys and girls, if you hurt yourselves when you are doing sports, it’s fine to shout out “aiyo” because it helps to make you feel less painful. 22．Who will shout “eina” when they feel the pain? A．Englishmen. B．South Africans. C．Italians. D．Chinese. 23．Which paragraph does the diagram (图表) mainly talk about? A．Paragraph 1. B．Paragraph 2. C．Paragraph 3. D．Paragraph 4. 24．What can we learn from the test? A．We should shout out aloud every day to keep us healthy. B．People would like to show their feelings by shouting out. C．It’s good to put our hands in very cold water for some time. D．We shouldn’t be shy of shouting out when getting hurt. 25．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】22．B 23．C 24．D 25．A 【解析】本文主要介绍了一些有助于减缓疼痛的简单声音及它们减缓疼痛的原因。 22．细节理解题。根据“South Africans cry ‘eina’”可知，南非人在感到疼痛时喊“eina”。故选B。 23．推理判断题。根据图表可知，这是在介绍科学家对志愿者们进行的三次测试的结果，主要是支撑第三段的观点。故选C。 24．细节理解题。根据“We will cry out when we get hurt, because the simple sound helps us to feel less painful. The shouting sound makes a difference to the transmission (传送) of pain messages to the brain (大脑). So shouting it out makes us think less about the pain.”可知，喊出来会让我们减少对疼痛的思考。所以我们受伤时不应该羞于大喊大叫。故选D。 25．篇章结构题。文章第一段引出主题“为什么我们在受伤时会大喊”；第二、三、四、五段从科学家做的测试结果来解释其原因，其中第二段指出科学家做的测试，第三段介绍测试的方法，第四、五段介绍通过测试得出的结论；第六段是进行总结。因此A符合文章结构。故选A。 （重庆市长寿中学校2024-2025学年八年级上学期期中 ） As humans, we communicate (交流) by using the senses (感觉) of sight, touch, and hearing. Animals don’t communicate in as many ways as us— for example, they don’t have languages like we do— but many animals do also use the senses of sight, touch, and hearing. A good example of this is elephant communication. Like us, elephants understand each other by looking at each other’s body language. To send a message, they use their whole body, or just their heads, eyes, mouth, ears, trunk, tail, or feet. For example, elephants spread (展开) their ears to show anger. And while people shake (摇晃) their heads to say no, elephants do this to show they are happy. Touch is also very important between elephants. Just like a human mother holds her baby, a mother elephant regularly (有规律地) touches her young baby with her trunk. Elephants also show they are friendly when they touch other elephants. And when they want to have fun, they hold each other by the trunk and pull. Although they can’t laugh like a human, elephants have a great sense of humor. Elephants have very large ears, which means they can hear other elephants from as far as 2. 5 miles away. Like humans, they can also copy sounds and make their own sounds that seem to communicate some human words and phrases like, “Hello” “I love you” and “Let’s go”. So while it’s true that humans are amazing at communication, elephants also communicate in ways that we can’t, and that may be true for other animals, too. The next time your pet dog or cat looks at you, touches you, or makes a noise, maybe it’s trying to tell you something very important! 26．How do elephants show they are happy? A．By using their whole body. B．By spreading their ears. C．By shaking their heads. D．By touching other elephants. 27．According to the passage, what can elephants do? A．They can copy sounds they hear. B．They can speak with words. C．They can laugh like a human. D．They can have languages. 28．Which is the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 29．What’s the purpose (目的) of writing the passage? A．To tell why elephants have languages. B．To express how smart elephants are. C．To tell what elephants can do. D．To tell how elephants communicate. 【答案】26．C 27．A 28．B 29．D 【解析】本文主要讲述了大象是如何交流的。 26．细节理解题。根据第二段“And while people shake (摇晃) their heads to say no, elephants do this to show they are happy.”可知，大象通过摇头来表示自己很高兴。故选C。 27．细节理解题。根据第四段“Like humans, they can also copy sounds...”可知，大象可以模仿它们听到的声音。故选A。 28．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段用于引出主题——大象也有交流方式；第二至四段讲述了大象如何交流；第五段指出其他动物可能也有自己的交流方式，提醒我们多观察。故选B。 29．主旨大意题。根据第一段“A good example of this is elephant communication.”并通读全文可知，本文旨在告诉我们大象是如何交流的。故选D。 （重庆市綦江区联盟校2024-2025学年八年级上学期期中 ） Take a look at your parents’ smart phones.

There is an old saying, “Friends are God’s way of taking care of us”. But how do you find real friendship and keep it? Different people have different ideas. Some famous writers write many books which give us a lot of advice (建议), such as Sally Seaman, an American writer. She tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed (种子) and take care of it to make it grow. First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient (有耐心的). For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints (抱怨) and do his or her best to help you. Second, to make a friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives. But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have scraps. What should you do when you have a scrap with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you can write a letter. Tell your friend how you are feeling. Tell your friend what he or she has done wrong and explain why you do this or that. Remember that friendship is one of the most important things in your life. 46．Sally wants to tell students the way to ________.

Most people usually do not. When we are healthy, breathing happens so naturally and easily that we could hardly know it. That’s why for many people, the human breathing system (系统) seems to have no influence (影响) on us, although our breathing muscles (肌肉) are working every minute of the day, every day of our lives. ②And experts say that deep breathing is important because it’s good for both our body and mind. ③When you breathe deeply, the air comes into your nose and make your lungs (肺) full, which helps your body fully exchange incoming oxygen (氧气) with outgoing carbon dioxide (二氧化碳). So if you practice deep breathing over and over again, it can help remove (除去) dirty air from the lungs. This will increase (增加) oxygen levels and get your lungs to return to its job of helping you breathe. ④Also, deep breathing is a good way to reduce (减少) stress and help you relax. If you are too tired to go on working, why not stop and find a place to sit or lie down? Then take a slow, deep breath through your nose. Feel your hand go up. Your stomach (胃) should rise and expand. Now breathe out slowly through your mouth. If you keep doing that for three to five times, you can find it easy to calm down and relax yourselves.

And a story can be told about each of them. “Hot” is a simple, easily-understood word. So most of the expressions are made with the word “hot”, such as hotpot, hotline and so on. ________ Here are some different expressions about it. Take this expression “hot potato” for example. The potato is a popular vegetable in the United States. Many people like baked (烤) potatoes, cooked in an oven or fire. Imagine trying to carry a hot, baked potato in your hand. It would be difficult or even painful to do so. Now we are getting close to the meaning of hot potato. Sometimes we can find a problem difficult to deal with, as difficult as holding a hot potato. Another expression is “not so hot”. If you ask someone how she feels, she may answer, “not so hot.” What she means is that she does not feel well. Not so hot is also a way of saying that you do not really like something. You may tell a friend that the new play you saw last night is not so hot. That means you did not think it was a success. A “hot shot” is a person —often a young person—who thinks he can do anything. At least he wants to try. He is very sure he can succeed. But often he fails. Hot is a word that is often used to talk about anger. An angry person’s neck often becomes red. We say he is hot under the collar(衣领). And a person often acts too quickly, without thinking of what might happen. He is called a hothead. It’s very interesting, isn’t it? Come on and learn more hot expressions about “hot”! 54．Which of the following sentences can be put in the ________? A．And we can find other expressions. B．And we have a different one. C．Here’s what you want to see. D．But things are not always the way we see. 55．The writer helps us understand the phrase “not so hot” mainly by ________. A．making conversations B．using old sayings C．giving examples D．drawing pictures 56．The underlined word “hothead” in the passage probably means “________” in Chinese. A．发烧的人. B．急躁的人 C．异想天开 D．火冒三丈 57．The best title of this message may be “________”. A．Interesting, isn’t it? B．Special Words and Expressions C．A Hot Shot, isn’t he? D．Hot Expressions About “Hot” 【答案】54．D 55．C 56．B 57．D 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了关于“热”的不同表达。 54．推理判断题。根据“‘Hot’ is a simple, easily-understood word. So most of the expressions are made with the word ‘hot’, such as hotpot, hotline and so on...Here are some different expressions about it.”可知，“热”是一个简单易懂的词。大多数的表达都是由“热”这个词组成的，比如火锅、热线等等，而下文举例了一些不同的表达，所以该空格处是表示转折。故选D。 55．推理判断题。根据“Another expression is ‘not so hot’. If you ask someone how she feels, she may answer, ‘not so hot.’ What she means is that she does not feel well. Not so hot is also a way of saying that you do not really like something.”可知，作者通过举例子帮助我们理解短语“not so hot”。故选C。 56．词句猜测题。根据“And a person often acts too quickly, without thinking of what might happen. He is called a hothead.”可知，一个人往往行动太快，没有考虑到可能发生的事情，这种人是急躁的人，所以可推测出划线单词“hothead”的中文意思是“急躁的人”。故选B。 57．最佳标题题。根据“So most of the expressions are made with the word ‘hot’, such as hotpot, hotline and so on....Here are some different expressions about it.”和上下文可知，该文主要介绍了关于“热”的不同表达。故选D。 （重庆市四川外语学院重庆第二外国语学校2024-2025学年八年级上学期期中 ） ①Do you want to know what you can learn about from your dreams?

Maybe it seems everybody else has his or her friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends and we can all have more friends. First, ▲ .

The steps to make Li brocade were an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) by UNESCO in 2009. The Li people don’t have their own written language. So they use pictures on Li brocade to record their history, ideas and traditions. One traditional picture is called “Da Li Shen” or God of great strength. It’s important in the Li culture and shows the Li people’s wishes for togetherness and happiness. Mothers have passed down (传递) Li brocade-making skills to daughters for generations(世代). However, there are fewer Li women to do this now. Fu Haikang, 40, is the only man inheritor (传承人) of Li brocade making skills in Baisha Li autonomous county (白沙黎族自治县) in Hainan. When his grandma showed him the traditional clothes of the Li people during his childhood, he was surprised by their beauty. In 2014, he began learning Li brocade-making skills from his teacher and would sometimes practice for over 10 hours a day. Though Fu felt shy at first while sitting with a group of women to learn skills, he believes that the skills are not only for girls and that he can do as well as they do. “I just want to do what I love,” Fu said. Fu became an inheritor of the Li brocade-making skills in 2022. After that, he went to schools and towns to teach people these traditional skills. His students are aged from 9 to 60. “In fact, many people in Baisha county don’t know the skills,” Fu said. By teaching them these skills, Fu hopes that he can help pass them down to future generations. 66．What do we know about Li brocade? A．Li people made it first in Yunnan Province.

D．There are fewer men learning Li brocade making skills than women. 69．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

Recently, some Chinese scientists (科学家) have developed a new way. They turned CO₂, one of the main greenhouse gases, into starch (淀粉). Starch is the main part of flour (面粉), rice and corn that we eat every day. Usually, it is created by plants with CO₂, water and sunlight. According to the team leader, Ma Yanhe, it took the plants nearly 60 steps to get starch. But now, the team, after six years of hard work, has found a better way with only 11 steps. “Our study shows that creating something like starch is possible in a lab, and this technology may be helpful in many areas.” said Ma. The scientists first turned CO₂ and hydrogen (氢气) into methanol (甲醇). Then they piecedc(分解) these methanol molecules (分子) into bigger and more complex (复杂的) molecules. At last, the starch was produced (生产). This method makes it possible to produce food in factories, taking the place of traditional farming. This will not only help make plenty of food, but also save water and land. It may also help recycle CO₂ to deal with climate change (气候变化), according to China Daily. The study can be helpful in space, too. Astronauts may no longer need to worry about their food as they travel in space. They may just turn the CO₂ into the food they eat! 70．What could the Chinese scientists do from paragraph 1 and 2? A．Turning air into starch. B．Turing CO₂ into starch. C．Making greenhouse gases. D．Making food in factories. 71．What does “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Flour. B．Rice. C．Corn. D．Starch. 72．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A．The study will be of no help in space. B．The way may be helpful in lots of areas. C．The way will help to make much food. D．It takes fewer steps to make starch in the lab. 73．Where could we probably read the passage? A．From an ad. B．From a newspaper. C．From a story. D．From a game show. 【答案】70．B 71．D 72．A 73．B 【解析】本文主要介绍了中国科学家成功利用二氧化碳合成了淀粉。这是我国在淀粉人工合成方面取得的一项重大突破。 70．细节理解题。根据“They turned CO₂, one of the main greenhouse gases, into starch.”可知，中国科学家可以将二氧化碳转化为淀粉。故选B。 71．词句猜测题。根据“Starch is the main part of flour, rice and corn that we eat every day. Usually, it is created by plants with CO₂, water and sunlight.”可知，淀粉是我们每天吃的面粉、大米和玉米的主要成分，它由植物利用二氧化碳、水和阳光产生的。故划线单词“it”指代“淀粉”。故选D。 72．细节理解题。根据最后一段“The study can be helpful in space, too.”可知，该研究在太空中也有帮助，A选项表述错误。故选A。 73．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了中国科学家成功利用二氧化碳合成了淀粉。这是我国在淀粉人工合成方面取得的一项重大突破。故本文可能出自报纸。故选B。 （重庆市大足区邮亭中学等五校2024-2025学年八年级上学期期中 ） Many people say that they are working too many hours.

Here is our advice to you and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes. It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around. You may feel left out at break or lunchtime—maybe because your best friend moved to a different school or a different class. You want to have new friends, but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has his or her friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends and we can all have more friends. First, ▲ . Look for chances (机会) to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or tell your appreciation (欣赏) to them. Second, invite someone you want to play with and say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break (在课间), walk over to the kids you want to play with, be friendly, and say “Hi, can I play, too?” or just join in. If you have trouble doing this or if you feel shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help—and pretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends. You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before he or she left. You can introduce him or her to your new friends! 78．Some kids feel lonely sometimes because they ________.

A．science B．art C．sports D．friendship 【答案】78．B 79．A 80．D 81．D 【解析】本文主要讲述了如何结交新朋友。 78．细节理解题。根据“Do you feel lonely (孤独的) when your best friend isn’t around? Here is our advice to you and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.”可知，一些孩子有时会感到孤独，那是因为他们的好朋友不在身边。故选B。 79．推理判断题。根据下文“Look for chances (机会) to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly...When you’re at break (在课间), walk over to the kids you want to play with...”可知，得先思考一下若在课间你会想和哪些人一起玩，然后才有接下来的行动——打招呼、微笑、友好待人等。选项A“想一想在课间你想和哪些孩子一起玩”符合语境，故选A。 80．词义猜测题。根据“If you have trouble doing this or if you feel shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends.”可知，如果你在这方面有困难或者感到害羞，那就请你的老师帮你结交新朋友。由此可知，划线单词“this”指代的是“结交新朋友”这件事。故选D。 81．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了如何结交新朋友，因此文章有可能是出自杂志的“友谊”专栏。故选D。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
