No matter 1 a European visits the United States, he or she just cannot get used to the culture there. Let’s take a look at what they have 2 about most. “How are you?” as a greeting, not a question When a shop assistant in the United States says, “How are you?”, it’s not a question but a way of saying “Hello”. No matter how often this happens to Europeans, they always think it is a question that asks about their 3 or well-being. Often, they will answer it and ask right back, and expect an answer. Tipping In European countries, you only leave a tip after a meal if you’re very pleased with the service. Otherwise, a tip is not expected. However, Americans tend to tip anyone in the service including waiters, drivers, hotel employees, etc, and good service is 4 with a good tip.

I did everything I could.” “I always wanted to be one of the athletes who can get a medal for China, for our country, and now I’m one of them,” Zheng said. “But I know the fight is not over and it’s not the 21 .” She added. “I feel super 22 of myself that I beat the pressure and I break the record of the limit of myself. I didn’t know I was able to go 23 the five matches in the row, especially I had to play seven hours in two days.” Zheng said. Though Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen didn’t walk away with the title, she left her hometown of Wuhan, because 24 the first time in a decade, fans witnessed a Chinese player in the final of the Wuhan Open. It was a milestone moment for the sport in the region. “I’m happy to have reached the final,” Zheng said after the match. Zheng Qinwen is set to make history today as she competes for her first WTA 1000 title and to become the first Chinese player to win the Women’s Singles Championship at the Wuhan Open.

Popular songs? Harry Porter books? Sports or online games? For me, the 26 is history. History is a part of my leisure time. Since I was 10, I’ve been reading history books, 27 old maps and visiting museums. I always get excited when people around me talk about history. I have learnt a lot from history. It has helped me deal with the problem of growing up. History is precious wealth. History helps me become more mature (成熟). I used to 28 that life is simple to understand. Now I know that we 29 make simple judgments. People aren’t “good” or “bad”; things aren’t “true” or “false”. History has also made me mentally (精神上) stronger. I’m more responsible now. I have learned useful things about myself from studying the rise and fall of kings and queens. When I studied Chinese history between 1840 and 1949, I knew I must be a strong person and 30 for China. Francis Bacon wrote, “Histories make men 31 ”. I agree with that. If you know history, you respect the past and you are confident about the future. History tells you where you come from, where you are and where you are going. That is the attraction of history. Don’t you think so? 26．A．job B．answer C．task D．fact 27．A．collecting B．making C．changing D．receiving 28．A．achieve B．watch C．believe D．worry 29．A．won’t B．shouldn’t C．don’t have to D．needn’t 30．A．do harm B．do my best C．put up D．go down 31．A．worried B．foolish C．weak D．wise Passage 2 （24-25八上·上海奉贤区·期中） Have you ever had a day when everything seemed to be wrong, and nothing seemed to be right? Not too long ago I was having one of those days. I was sad and 32 . My focus was on me. After all, no one else was experiencing the same problems as I was. I expressed my sad state to my mother, hoping for some pity. 33 , she said, “I heard Jamie was having a difficult day too. Why don’t you make her some cookies and take them to her this afternoon?” I didn’t really want to, but decided that I didn’t want to go back to my other problems just yet. I made the cookies and put them in a lovely box. Then I 34 a card with a small and sweet note. That afternoon I visited my friend’s house. I went to the door and rang the bell. Soon, Jamie came to the door and looked at me 35 because she didn’t expect my visit. Before she could say anything, I rushed, “I heard you were having a hard day and I made a decision to bring you something. I hope your day goes better.” I couldn’t describe the look that came over Jamie’s 36 properly. It was as if (好像) a dark sky suddenly shone with the golden rays (光线) of the sun; it was as if in that small act, her day became 37 . I got back into the car and for some amazing reason, I felt a lot better myself.

Andy did well on last month’s math test and his dad bought him a new smartwatch. And now, Cyndy is playing with her cute kitten. On social media, everyone seems to be happy all the time. But can that be true in real life? The answer to this question is no. As a teenager, you haven’t had much life experience. Sometimes, you might have very 38 hopes. For example, you wanted to get an A+ on an exam. It didn’t happen, and you felt sad. Sadness is not always bad. It can push you to do better next time. But it’s a different story if your sadness is starting to 39 your daily life. Maybe you don’t want to go to school in the morning. Or you don’t feel like going out with your friends. If you feel like that, you may be falling into depression. I felt this way when my dog, Rebel, died. He was always by my side. Every morning, he followed me to school. Now, he was 40 and I didn’t want to do anything. My parents said I was having unrealistic hopes. Dogs don’t live forever. Rebel had a good life. He probably wanted me to have a good life, too. Depression is not a sign of being weak. 41 , it’s a part of who we are. Many famous people, like comedian Jim Carrey, have also experienced depression. When you feel depressed, you must not shut yourself away from the world. Share your feelings with a good friend. Eat something delicious and take a walk in the park. Ask for any help you need. You’re not 42 in the battle against this terrible feeling! 38．A．high B．low C．sweet D．little 39．A．improve B．save C．change D．enjoy 40．A．missed B．disappeared C．lost D．gone 41．A．Therefore B．Instead C．Whatever D．Besides 42．A．boring B．strange C．simple D．alone Passage 4 （24-25八上·上海黄浦区·期中） Growing up in Australia, I wanted a penfriend. I was 13, had just started middle school and needed someone to talk to. So I went through all of the penfriend sites I could find on the Internet, 43 for any girl of my age from different countries. I wrote to a Swede, an Italian, an American, a Finn, an Arab and an Egyptian, telling them about my family, my school and my country. 44 one girl replied—the Egyptian. Her name was Noran Hussein. When I opened my e-mail box and saw the reply, I was 45 .     We started off by telling each other about our lives. Right from the start I could tell that we 46 the same interests. Step by step we discussed problems all over the world.     People often ask if I’m afraid to ask Noran about certain things, like wearing the veil (面纱). I’m not. To me, asking questions is the first step towards understanding. 47 we stand back and only wonder, we’ll start to run into problems.     Noran and I are different, but we never say that 48 is wrong. I have learned more than I could ever hope to learn from a textbook. I wish people to experience what I have experienced—to learn that it is OK to be different, not to be afraid of one another. 43．A．asking B．waiting C．looking D．reaching 44．A．Only B．Still C．Also D．Yet 45．A．surprised B．angry C．excited D．nervous 46．A．made B．shared C．held D．learned 47．A．Because B．Although C．Before D．If 48．A．the other B．another C．no one D．either Passage 5 （24-25八上·上海建平中学西校·期中） There are always top students around us. Let’s take Jenny as an example. As the monitor, she spends a lot of time working for our class, but she 49 gets good grades in all subjects. How can she do that? Here is some of her advice. Hard work is not the whole story. It’s not how long you sit at the desk. It’s 50 you do while you are sitting.” Studying is a matter of personal preference（偏爱）. Some people like working late at night when the house is quiet, while others like doing their work 51 in the morning. No matter which way you use, try to do your best. Studying is your business and business comes 52 entertainment（娱乐）. When you are studying, phone calls should go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks uneaten. Studying is the only thing in your mind. 53 can pull you away from what you are studying. Studying is like eating. You chew（咀嚼）it one bite at a time. You can plan what to do today, but don’t do too much. On the other hand, you will not study well without a good plan. It all depends on how you 54 your time. Maybe she is right, so why not have a try? 49．A．even B．still C．rather D．also 50．A．what B．why C．how D．that 51．A．alone B．lonely C．quickly D．early 52．A．with B．before C．after D．into 53．A．Something B．Anything C．Nothing D．Everything 54．A．realize B．cost C．take D．arrange 人与社会 Passage 1 （23-24八上·上海杨浦区·期中） Information will soon be so easy to find on the internet that people will not need to remember anything. Do you agree? Nowadays all the information we could ever need is available online and some people say that means the end of having to learn anything. It is true that those days everything you want to know is a few clicks away as long as you have internet access. 55 , not everyone has working internet all the time, for example in certain buildings or remote locations, so we do need to be able to remember information. Moreover, it takes time to look up everything you need to know online, while remembering something is 56 . The human memory is a much more efficient system. Another problem is the 57 of the information online. How do we know if it is accurate or reliable? We need to think about other facts we know and remember how to 58 information from different websites. Knowing (and remembering) how to find certain information will be more important than knowing the information itself. Finally, the internet is a good tool but it cannot take the place of our 59 . If we did not remember anything, we would all spend even more time on our phones and computers than we already do, which is not good for society. In conclusion, the internet offers us many things but it is still important to use our knowledge and memories. We need our memories to function without the internet and we also need to know how to use the internet 60 . 55．A．At first B．What’s more C．However D．After all 56．A．impossible B．immediate C．basic D．essential 57．A．protection B．amount C．development D．quality 58．A．compare B．collect C．recognize D．process 59．A．traditions B．brains C．education D．knowledge 60．A．safely B．regularly C．properly D．happily Passage 2 （23-24八上·上海崇明区部分学校联考·期中） Once upon a time, there was a king named Akbar. He had a 61 minister (大臣) named Birbal. One day, King Akbar was taking a walk along a river with Birbal. They came across (偶遇) an old man who was 62 with his neighbour. When seeing King Akbar, the old man fell at his feet and said, “Your Majesty (陛下), please pass judgement (做出决断) for us. I bought a well (井) from this man and paid him 63 of the money. But now, he wants me to pay for the water in the well.” “Your Majesty,” said the neighbour, “I sold him the well, but not the water in it. I just want to get the money that I deserve (应得的).” The king asked Birbal to 64 the argument between these two men. So the minister asked them more questions. He found out that the old man was a poor but honest man. The neighbour, 65 , was a cunning man who was trying to cheat (欺骗) the old man. At last, Birbal said to the neighbour, “This well belongs to the old man now, right?” “Yes, sir!” the neighbour replied. Birbal continued, “But you have put your water into his well. Either you should pay him the rent (租金) for it, or you should take all the water 66 it right now!” Of course, it was impossible to get all the groundwater. The neighbour found that he could not fool the minister. He hung his head and asked the old man to forgive (原谅) him. The old man let him go and thanked Birbal and King Akbar. 61．A．polite B．wise C．kind D．strange 62．A．arguing B．chatting C．playing D．walking 63．A．some B．any C．all D．none 64．A．put down B．hold out C．put on D．deal with 65．A．in addition B．what’s more C．as a result D．however 66．A．into B．out of C．under D．over Passage 3 （24-25八上·上海民办欣竹中学·期中） Harbin, in northeastern China, is the site of the Harbin International Snow and Ice Festival, the biggest winter festival in the world. Some of the biggest and most beautiful ice sculptures (雕塑) can be seen in the festival. Harbin’s location and freezing temperatures make it a 67 place to host a winter festival. The city centre sits on the banks of the Songhua River. The river freezes over in the winter and provides hundreds of thousands of cubic metres of ice. Ice artists from around the world turn the blocks of ice into buildings, animals, and other 68 . The world’s largest winter festival grew out of a traditional ice lantern display and garden party that was 69 held in 1963. The snow and ice sculptures became part of the ice lantern festivities in 1985. In 2001, the celebration and Heilongjiang’s International Ski Festival joined together and started to use its current (现行的) name. It’s hard to imagine that this grand display of ice and snow sculptures started as ice in a bucket. Traditional ice lanterns were created by freezing water in a bucket, 70 the ice, and making a hole into the block of ice. A candle was then placed inside the block to create a lantern. Today’s creations are much more carefully 71 and take much more time to form. Although the basic materials are the same-water, light, and ice-the displays now include LED lights and a lot of details. From a 72 block of ice to the world’s largest ice and snow amusement park, the festival has made a dramatic change. No wonder it attracts millions of people each year. 67．A．convenient B．common C．natural D．necessary 68．A．attractions B．characters C．inventions D．products 69．A．only B．first C．even D．also 70．A．throwing away B．keeping off C．putting up D．taking out 71．A．described B．designed C．organized D．selected 72．A．bright B．fresh C．simple D．perfect Passage 4 （23-24八上·上海位育中学·期中） Many people believe that “the children are the future.” Creative teenagers have proved this to be true. They are working hard to try to solve some of the world’s biggest problems. Here are a few 73 . Getting rid of blindspots(视线盲区) in cars From West Grove, Pennsylvania, 14-year-old Alaina Gassler created a solution for one of the biggest car problems in history. The teenager invented a device (设备) to get rid of blind spots in cars. She won a $25,000 Samueli Foundation Prize for her creation. The idea 74 Gassler after her mom said she disliked using the family’s Jeep Grand Cherokee because the front A-pillars created blind spots. Then, her own brother began driving; he also encouraged her to move forward with the project. Pedaling(踩踏板) to have the clothes washed In the past, Remya Jose and her family hand-washed their clothes in their local river 75 the family didn’t own a washing machine and her neighborhood didn’t have electricity. The task took too much time and energy. Jose wanted to change this. Her creation 76 you to put clothes, hot water and detergent(洗涤剂) in a container. You simply step on an attached (相连的) pedal which agitates (搅动) the clothes and soon after they’re clean! Providing power and clean water Millions of people around the world can’t use electricity or clean water. But one teenager is close to solving that problem. Cynthia Sin Nga Lam, from Australia, invented H2Pro. It is able to make dirty water clean and clear, and use the waste to produce power. At the age of 17, Lam became one of the finalists in Google’s 2014 Science Fair for her 77 invention. 73．A．ideas B．examples C．facts D．items 74．A．put on B．went after C．came to D．held out 75．A．because B．and C．but D．so 76．A．allows B．assists C．asks D．forces 77．A．simple B．boring C．amazing D．usual 人与自我 Passage 1 （23-24八上·上海闵行区·期中） My six-year-old granddaughter, Caitlynd, and I stopped at a bakery for some bread. As we were going out the door, a young teenage boy was coming in. This young man had no hair on the sides of his head and some blue hair on top of it. One of his nostrils was pierced (穿孔), and his ears were full of rings. He held a skateboard under one arm and a basketball under 78 . Caitlynd, who was walking ahead of me, stopped when she saw the teen. I thought he’d scared her and she’d frozen on the spot. I was wrong. My Grand Angel backed up against the door and opened it as 79 as it would go. Now I was face to face with the young man. I stepped aside and let him pass. His response was a kind “Thank you very much”. On our way to the car, I praised Caitlynd for her 80 in holding open the door for the young man. She didn’t seem to be 81 by his appearance but I wanted to make sure. If a grandmotherly talk about freedom of self-expression and allowing people their differences was in order, I wanted to be ready. It 82 that the person who needed the talk was me. The only thing Caitlynd noticed about the teen, was the fact that his arms were full. “He would’ve had a hard time to open the door.” I saw the partially shaved head, the blue hair, the piercings and the earrings. She saw a person carrying something under each arm and heading toward a door. I’m always the one who is so quick to judge. In the future, I hope to get down on her 83 and raise my sights. 78．A．other B．the other C．another D．one 79．A．far B．fast C．wide D．soon 80．A．speed B．progress C．manners D．success 81．A．troubled B．fooled C．prevented D．judged 82．A．pointed out B．turned out C．found out D．worked out 83．A．situation B．hands C．side D．level Passage 5 （24-25八上·上海位育中学·期中） Skimming and scanning is a good method when you don’t have enough time, such as when you are taking an exam, but, today, many people skim and scan everything and they have lost the ability to enjoy reading. In response to this, something called the “slow reading movement” has become popular. The idea is that people should 84 their computers and mobile phones for half an hour or forty-five minutes each day and enjoy the pleasure of reading a good book—slowly and quietly! Researchers have found that reading slowly, especially books of fiction, helps people relax and think about what they are reading. It also helps people get to understand the characters’ emotions and to see the world 85 the characters’ eyes. Reading, of course, isn’t easy. You have to sit still for one thing. And it can seem 86 when compared to the excitement of playing video games. But, for me, reading has always been a pleasure in my life. From the age of ten, when I got my first library card, I’ve enjoyed the company (陪伴) of heroes, of evil criminal and clever detectives, of thousands of interesting people I would have never met 87 . Reading provided me with escape, but it also enabled me to understand the world around me. It was an education in a classroom that had no walls. In your classroom, you have learned to read “fast.” 88 , outside of the classroom, you should try to learn to read “slow.” You may be surprised at how much you enjoy it. 84．A．care for B．deal with C．turn off D．take out 85．A．through B．with C．into D．around 86．A．strange B．interesting C．boring D．attractive 87．A．in the book B．on the Internet C．at school D．in real life 88．A．For example B．Finally C．However D．What’s more Passage 6 （24-25八上·上海松江区·期中） Once upon a time a teacher and his student lay down under a tree near the grass area. The student asked the teacher, “Sir, I really don’t know how we 89 our friends?” The teacher was 90 for a few seconds then answered, “It’s a hard and an easy question.” The teacher continued, “Look! There is a lot of grass. Why don’t you walk there? Please don’t walk backwards; walk straight ahead. On your way, try to find a blade (片) of beautiful grass, pick it and give it to me. But just one.” The student said, “Well. OK…Wait for me…” and walked straight ahead to the field． A few minutes later, he came back. The teacher asked, “ Well, I don’t see a beautiful blade of grass in your hand.” The student said, “On my journey, I found a few beautiful blades of grass, but I thought I would find a better one, so I didn’t pick them. But I didn’t realize I was at the 91 of the field, and I hadn’t picked any. I didn’t go back 92 you told me not to.” The teacher said, “That’s what will happen in real life.” In the story, grass is the people 93 you; the beautiful blades of grass are the people that always 94 you and the grassy (茂盛的) field is time. In looking for your friends, don’t always compare (比较) and hope that there will be a better one. By doing that, you’ll waste your lifetime.

So much is new and 95 to me. It’s great to be here. I hope I do well! June 25 I live with an American host family: Valerie and Tim and their daughter, Megan. They’re really nice. Every day I learn something new. For example, this morning Valerie said, “Tim and I work 96 , and I can’t cook tonight. Help yourself to anything for dinner.” I didn’t understand Valerie. I thought she wanted help with dinner. 97 , I bought takeout for everyone. When Valerie came home, she said, “Daniela, why did you buy food? We have a lot.” I was confused! She 98 , “Help yourself means eat anything you want.” We laughed and ate the Chinese food anyway. July 1 My best friend from Brazil called today. I was really happy to talk to her, but after, I felt kind of down. Everything here is so 99 —the food, the people, even the weather (It gets cold here even in the summer sometimes!). July 5 Yesterday was Independence Day (独立日). It’s a big holiday here. My host family had a barbecue in their yard. Their friends and neighbors came. Everyone was very friendly and warm.

Do you find how things work there seems a bit strange? No matter 1 a European visits the United States, he or she just cannot get used to the culture there. Let’s take a look at what they have 2 about most. “How are you?” as a greeting, not a question When a shop assistant in the United States says, “How are you?”, it’s not a question but a way of saying “Hello”. No matter how often this happens to Europeans, they always think it is a question that asks about their 3 or well-being. Often, they will answer it and ask right back, and expect an answer. Tipping In European countries, you only leave a tip after a meal if you’re very pleased with the service. Otherwise, a tip is not expected. However, Americans tend to tip anyone in the service including waiters, drivers, hotel employees, etc, and good service is 4 with a good tip.

Moreover, it takes time to look up everything you need to know online, while remembering something is 56 . The human memory is a much more efficient system. Another problem is the 57 of the information online. How do we know if it is accurate or reliable? We need to think about other facts we know and remember how to 58 information from different websites.
