Chuiwan was one of the ball games in the history of China, which was very popular in the Song Dynasty. “Chui” means “hit” and “wan” means “ball”. This sport was similar to golf. On a large field, there were two groups. Usually there were 2 to 10 people in each group. Everyone had three chances to hit the ball into holes with a bat. A player didn’t win the game if he couldn’t hit the ball into the hole three times. First recorded 2,000 years ago, cuju is known as the earliest form of football. As a fun and relaxing game, cuju was used in the army to train soldiers. Its rules were similar to football’s. Each team usually had 12 or 16 players. No hands could be used. Only feet and the head could be used. The ball should be hit into their competitors’ goal. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, archery was an important part of education for men from rich and famous families. At the age of 15, they began learning shooting. The most famous competition was Grand Archery. It was held by the king. The competitors drank happily together later. These sports played very important roles in the life of ancient Chinese people.

Some parts of the cloth become blue, but other parts have a lighter color. When you open out the cloth, you’ll see beautiful patterns. Now the tie-dye skill is China’s national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产). An’ning in Yunnan is famous for tie-dye. Yang Cheng, 52, learned tie-dye from his mother in the 1980s. Yang got the old skills. At the same time, he studied tie-dye in other countries, such as Japan, India and France. It once took Yang two years to make two tie-dyed dresses! He used many skills of An ning tie-dye. Some patterns on the dress are traditional, while some are modern. He used images of Dianchi Lake and eight popular flowers in Yunnan. “I want to put all the beautiful things into tie-dye works,” Yang said. Now Yang is still dyeing and teaching his daughter tie-dye. “we have the duty to pass down the skill to younger generations (世代).” Yang said. Yang now teaches tie-dye in schools, communities and companies.

But some of them have some wrong ideas about it. “A plate of chicken is a good meal before games because it has much energy.” In fact, the best meal before games should have carbohydrates (碳水化合物). Food like potatoes, bread, bananas are rich in it, but chicken and meat are not. “The best time to exercise is early in the morning.” No. Morning is a good time to exercise, but it may not be suitable for you. If an afternoon or evening is suitable for you, and you enjoy the feeling of getting healthier, you can choose any time to exercise. So there is no fixed time for you to exercise. “If you drink water when you exercise, you’ll feel tired.” The fact is that you must have some water during breaks (休息时间) when you exercise. And after exercising, you must have water. If you don’t drink water, then you may feel tired. “Exercising every day is quite important.” Wrong. Too much exercise is bad for your health.

Later, you go home. Surprisingly, the music keeps running through your head. You sing it when you do your homework. You hum (哼唱) it when you eat. Why is that? In fact, many people may have the same feeling. This kind of music is called an earworm (耳虫). What kind of music can be an earworm? It should be simple and easy to sing or hum. Usually, the music is pretty short. A riff (重复乐段) of a song is the easiest to become an earworm. For example, “Twinkle, twinkle, little star”. Why do people get earworms? Scientists think it may have something to do with our mind. Sometimes when we feel bored, our mind wants something easy and interesting. People are likely to (很可能) get an earworm when they are doing something like walking or doing housework. And there is an interesting fact. Musicians can have earworms more often than other people. Usually, earworms aren’t bad for us. They go away as time goes. But how to get them out of your head if they make you unhappy? On the one hand, our head can’t do more than one thing at a time. We can do other things, such as reading, talking to others, or watching TV. This can keep our mind busy. Then, we won’t have time to care about the earworms. On the other hand, listening to other songs is also a good way. Some songs do well in controlling (控制) earworms. For example, Happy Birthday to You. 1．According to the passage, earworms are ________.

Passage 3 (24-25八年级上·四川成都市新川外国语学校·期中) I’m Zhao Li from Guangdong. My classmates often feel unsure about their looks because of pictures on WeChat and Xiaohongshu. Those rules about beauty are difficult to follow. But I think there is no need to worry about it. People don’t only care about looks. We should be ourselves and have critical thinking. Not all people have the same idea about beauty. The full name of this three-year-old star is Cheng Hehua. She lives in Chengdu, and visitors may wait for up to three hours to just see her. Some time ago, she had a new job — the honorary chief of the Chengdu Municipal Bureau of Culture, Broadcast-TV and Tourism (成都文旅荣誉局长). Why do people like her? Because she is shorter than other pandas of her age, which makes her look a little fat and cute. Some people even describe her as a rice ball when she sits. There is a king in the water, the giant Amazonian (亚马逊的) water lily. She needs a lot of sunshine to grow well, so she often fights with other plants in the same water. No other plants can live near her spiky buds (有尖刺的花蕾). She can move her buds to make more room for herself. Her leaves grow 20cm a day and each of them can grow to over 2 meters wide (宽的). And she can have seven to eight leaves. The leaves are very strong. You can even stand on them! That makes other plants go away. And all her leaves are next to each other. They become a big “carpet (地毯)”. Other plants have to live in the dark. 1．Which saying can best show “critical thinking” in the first passage? A．Better late than never. B．Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. C．One man’s meat is another man’s poison (毒药). 2．Why is Hehua so popular? A．Because she is cute. B．Because she is the honorary chief of Chengdu.

Every parent wants to know the answer. In the US, many people think that children should get more than an hour of exercise each day. It is the same in the UK. A new study shows that children should exercise for their muscles and bones more than three times a week. Children can do activities like climbing and playing on monkey bars—this kind of exercise is good for their muscles. Jumping and running are good for their bones. Children should also do aerobic exercise every day. They can walk fast or go running. However, many children don’ t like doing exercise or playing sports outside. Today, many children like playing computer games or watching TV at home every day. What can parents do to help the children do sports outside? Doctor Stephanie Walsh says she often sees parents taking long walks with their children as a kind of exercise, but that might not be the best way. “Although walking is a great activity, it’s really boring for children.

But what about those times when you are sick? If you do not feel well, should you keep following your daily exercise habit? Laskowski, a doctor, says that right exercise is usually OK if you have a common cold. Laskowski and other doctors have a common rule about it. “It is usually fine to exercise,” he says, “if your symptoms (症状) are all ‘above the neck’, such as a runny (流鼻涕的) nose, a sneeze (喷嚏) or a minor (轻微的) sore throat.” Laskowski also says that exercise may make you feel better and help you breathe (呼吸) more easily. An American health website gives a similar idea. Geralyn Coopersmith, a physical fitness trainer, wrote some books on exercise. “The rule is that if you take some medicine and don’t feel so sick, it’s OK to exercise.” However, both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski say taking a break is better if your symptoms appear “below the neck”, such as a bad cough or a pain in the stomach. If you don’t feel too bad, you can cut back on the intensity (强度) of your exercise. For example, if you usually run, take a quick walk. When you feel better, you can exercise with your usual intensity. However, Dr. Laskowski says that exercising when you have more than a common cold could bring “more serious illness”. 1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Exercising when you have a common cold. B．Exercising when you get little sleep. C．Exercising when you eat nothing. 2．When should people stop exercising according to Dr. Laskowski? A．When they have a pain in the stomach. B．When they have a common cold. C．When they have a pain in the throat. 3．What can we infer from the passage? A．Both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski wrote some books on exercise. B．Taking a quick walk is better than running when you don’t feel too bad. C．If you have a serious cough, you should run half an hour less than usual. 4．What would be the best title for the passage? A．How can you keep healthy? B．Can exercise help you feel better? C．Should you exercise while sick? 主题04 人与自然——航空航天 Passage 1 (24-25八年级上·四川成都武侯区西川实验学校·期中) In 2003, China sent its first astronaut, Yang Liwei, into space. Since then, many Chinese astronauts also “reached for the stars”. Zhai Zhigang, Cai Xuzhe, Song Lingdong, and Wang Haoze are some of them. The last three carried out the tasks (执行任务) of Shenzhou-19 in space. Do you dream of becoming an astronaut like them? To be an astronaut, you need to be very healthy. Good eyesight and a strong heart are important. You’d better not have any small problems. For example, a decayed tooth (龋齿) could get worse in space and bring problems for astronauts. In China, you must be a great pilot before you can be an astronaut. You must fly more than 600 hours without accidents (事故). And then you might start hard training after becoming a backup astronaut. For example, you have to wear a 200kg suit and do tasks underwater for six or seven hours without eating or going to the toilet. This is like doing tasks in spacewalks. Education is important as well. Astronauts take about 60 courses to get ready for a task, such as math, English, science, and many more. So they can also do scientific experiments (实验) in space. However, it’s possible that backup astronauts can never go to space. During the Shenzhou-18 task, only three astronauts could go into space. But there are other backup astronauts. They are also heroes of this great space program. 1．Who are the members of the Shenzhou-19 task? ①Yang Liwei  ②Cai Xuzhe  ③Song Lingdong ④Zhai Zhigang  ⑤Wang Haoze A．①③④ B．②④⑤ C．②③⑤ 2．What might happen if astronauts have a decayed tooth in space? A．They might have heart problems. B．They will have bad eyesight. C．Their tooth decay might become worse. 3．Who may be called a “backup astronaut”? A．Jenny—She can do the same tasks as other astronauts but never took a task in space before. B．John—He carried out two tasks in space in the past three years. C．Tom—He is in good health and good at science, math, and English. 4．What training should an astronaut take? A．Flying an airplane for about 600 days. B．Wearing special clothes and doing tasks underwater. C．Practicing spacewalks for six or seven hours every day. 5．What question can we find the answer from the passage? A．How do astronauts stay healthy in space? B．What does it take to become an astronaut? C．Why does one need to be a pilot before being an astronaut? 主题05 人与自然——动植物 Passage 1 (24-25八年级上·四川成都市第七中学初中学校·期中) a Walking in the sky The world’s longest suspension footbridge opened in the Czech Republic (捷克共和国) in May.

Chuiwan was one of the ball games in the history of China, which was very popular in the Song Dynasty. “Chui” means “hit” and “wan” means “ball”. This sport was similar to golf. On a large field, there were two groups. Usually there were 2 to 10 people in each group. Everyone had three chances to hit the ball into holes with a bat.

He used many skills of An ning tie-dye. Some patterns on the dress are traditional, while some are modern. He used images of Dianchi Lake and eight popular flowers in Yunnan. “I want to put all the beautiful things into tie-dye works,” Yang said. Now Yang is still dyeing and teaching his daughter tie-dye. “we have the duty to pass down the skill to younger generations (世代).” Yang said.

But some of them have some wrong ideas about it. “A plate of chicken is a good meal before games because it has much energy.” In fact, the best meal before games should have carbohydrates (碳水化合物). Food like potatoes, bread, bananas are rich in it, but chicken and meat are not. “The best time to exercise is early in the morning.” No. Morning is a good time to exercise, but it may not be suitable for you. If an afternoon or evening is suitable for you, and you enjoy the feeling of getting healthier, you can choose any time to exercise. So there is no fixed time for you to exercise. “If you drink water when you exercise, you’ll feel tired.” The fact is that you must have some water during breaks (休息时间) when you exercise. And after exercising, you must have water. If you don’t drink water, then you may feel tired. “Exercising every day is quite important.” Wrong. Too much exercise is bad for your health. You need to give your body a day of rest. 1．According to the passage, we must drink water ________.

Later, you go home. Surprisingly, the music keeps running through your head. You sing it when you do your homework. You hum (哼唱) it when you eat. Why is that? In fact, many people may have the same feeling. This kind of music is called an earworm (耳虫). What kind of music can be an earworm? It should be simple and easy to sing or hum. Usually, the music is pretty short. A riff (重复乐段) of a song is the easiest to become an earworm. For example, “Twinkle, twinkle, little star”. Why do people get earworms? Scientists think it may have something to do with our mind. Sometimes when we feel bored, our mind wants something easy and interesting. People are likely to (很可能) get an earworm when they are doing something like walking or doing housework. And there is an interesting fact. Musicians can have earworms more often than other people. Usually, earworms aren’t bad for us. They go away as time goes. But how to get them out of your head if they make you unhappy? On the one hand, our head can’t do more than one thing at a time. We can do other things, such as reading, talking to others, or watching TV. This can keep our mind busy. Then, we won’t have time to care about the earworms. On the other hand, listening to other songs is also a good way. Some songs do well in controlling (控制) earworms. For example, Happy Birthday to You. 1．According to the passage, earworms are ________.

My classmates often feel unsure about their looks because of pictures on WeChat and Xiaohongshu. Those rules about beauty are difficult to follow. But I think there is no need to worry about it. People don’t only care about looks. We should be ourselves and have critical thinking. Not all people have the same idea about beauty. The full name of this three-year-old star is Cheng Hehua. She lives in Chengdu, and visitors may wait for up to three hours to just see her. Some time ago, she had a new job — the honorary chief of the Chengdu Municipal Bureau of Culture, Broadcast-TV and Tourism (成都文旅荣誉局长). Why do people like her? Because she is shorter than other pandas of her age, which makes her look a little fat and cute. Some people even describe her as a rice ball when she sits. There is a king in the water, the giant Amazonian (亚马逊的) water lily. She needs a lot of sunshine to grow well, so she often fights with other plants in the same water. No other plants can live near her spiky buds (有尖刺的花蕾). She can move her buds to make more room for herself. Her leaves grow 20cm a day and each of them can grow to over 2 meters wide (宽的). And she can have seven to eight leaves. The leaves are very strong. You can even stand on them! That makes other plants go away. And all her leaves are next to each other. They become a big “carpet (地毯)”. Other plants have to live in the dark. 1．Which saying can best show “critical thinking” in the first passage? A．Better late than never. B．Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. C．One man’s meat is another man’s poison (毒药). 2．Why is Hehua so popular? A．Because she is cute. B．Because she is the honorary chief of Chengdu. C．Because seeing her doesn’t need much waiting time. 3．How can the giant Amazonian water lily win the fight? ① She grows fast and gets water from other plants. ② Her large and strong leaves make other plants live far from her. ③ She stops other plants from getting sunshine. A．①② B．①③ C．②③ 4．Which of the following is from China? A．Zhao Li and Hehua. B．Hehua and the water lily. C．Zhao Li and the water lily. 5．What do three passages all talk about? A．Personalities (性格). B．Looks. C．Famous stars. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文从人类、动物、植物三个角度探讨了外形的利弊。 1． 词句猜测题。根据“We should be ourselves and have critical thinking. Not all people have the same idea about beauty.”可知，我们应该做自己，并且要有批判性思维，并不是所有人都有相同的美学观点，故“批判性思维”指从多个角度考虑问题，选项C“各有所好。”符合。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Why do people like her? Because she is shorter than other pandas of her age, which makes her look a little fat and cute.”可知，人们喜欢她因为她比同龄的其他熊猫矮，这让她看起来有点胖，很可爱。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“No other plants can live near her spiky buds (有尖刺的花蕾)...Her leaves grow 20 cm a day and each of them can grow to over 2 meters wide...Other plants have to live in the dark”可知，它巨大的叶子使其他植物离它很远， 同时它阻止其他植物得到阳光，这些特点让巨型亚马逊睡莲在竞争中取得胜利。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“I’m Zhao Li from Guangdong.”和“She lives in Chengdu”可知，赵丽和荷花来自中国。故选A。 5．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，三篇短文分别介绍了人，熊猫，和植物的外貌。故选B。 主题02 人与社会——中华文化 Passage 1 (24-25八年级上·四川成都市石室天府中学·期中) What can you do after finishing your homework? ▲ If your answer is yes, you can take a look at the four examples.

Let’s have a look together! Did people in the past have weekends? Today people usually enjoy two-day weekends. Did people in ancient China have weekends? No. But they had their own way to relax. During the Han Dynasty, after people worked for five days, they could relax for a day. During the Tang Dynasty, they had to work for another five days and then they could have one day to relax. From then on, people could relax on special festivals. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, people could even relax on the emperors’ birthdays. How did ancient people cool themselves? In summer, it’s easy for us to stay cool and comfortable with an air conditioner (空调). How did people get through hot summer in the past? As early as the Zhou Dynasty, some workers’ job was to find ice in winter and keep them for the next summer. When it came, people could use them to make their rooms cooler. They could also use it to make cold drinks. ________ Surprisingly, people in the Song Dynasty already had them. The emperor Xianzong liked to order takeouts late at night. His servants would go and find dishes and bring them back to him. Common people also ordered takeouts. Restaurant waiters would go on streets and tell people about the dishes they could order that day. After ordering food, customers could wait for the dishes at home. 1．In which sentence can’t we put in the underlined word ancient in the passage?

A．Travel around the World B．Fun Facts about Chinese History C．Food Culture 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文描述了古代的人们的生活是什么样子的。 1．推理判断题。根据“Today people usually enjoy two-day weekends. Did people in ancient China have weekends?”可知，第一句说今天的人们有周末时间，第二句可知是问古代的人们有周末吗？因此ancient意思是“古代的”。将ancient放在选项中可知，A项意为“在三星堆博物馆，我们可以欣赏到许多古代艺术品”；B项意为“著名的《清明上河图》向我们展示了一幅古代生活的画面”；C项意为“经常参观博物馆并并大开眼界是古老的”，由此可知C项不符合句意。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“During the Han Dynasty,  after people worked for five days, they could relax for a day. During the Tang Dynasty, they had to work for another five days and then they could have one day to relax.”可知，在唐朝，人们每工作十天休息一天，因此一个月大概休息三次。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据第三栏“Surprisingly, people in the Song Dynasty already had them. The emperor Xianzong liked to order takeouts late at night.”可知，给出了“Who liked to order takeouts late at night in the Song Dynasty?”这个问题。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“Surprisingly, people in the Song Dynasty already had them.”可知，这一句解释了宋朝时期就有外卖了，接着介绍了皇帝和平民都可以点外卖，因此B项“中国古代有外卖吗”符合段落标题。故选B。 5．推理判断题。文章主要介绍了有趣的历史事实。因此文章可能来自杂志的“Fun Facts about Chinese History”板块。故选B。 Passage 4 (24-25八年级上·四川成都市青羊实验中学·期中) A saying-says, “The world’s martial arts come from Shaolin.” So every year, lots of people go to Dengfeng where the Shaolin Temple is to learn kung fu. It’s said that in Dengfeng today, there are more than 50,000 students learning kung fu. Some of these students come to Dengfeng to learn kung fu because they want to be movie stars like Li Lianjie and Wu Jing. Others come to learn skills (技能) so that they can get good jobs. And some parents take their children there to learn self-control (自控力) and hard work. “Attracting (吸引) new students to kung fu is now a problem,” says Hu Zhengsheng. Hu teaches kung fu at a small school in Dengfeng. He is afraid that his art will soon die out. “The life of kung fu learners is not ______,” he says. Hu’s students have to sleep in cold rooms in winter and keep practicing hard outside although it is very hot or cold. For old traditions (传统) to live on, the young must learn and pass (传递) them down.

Others come to learn skills (技能) so that they can get good jobs. And some parents take their children there to learn self-control (自控力) and hard work.”可知，一些学生来学习是为了成为电影明星，实现梦想，学习技能以便找到好工作以及父母让孩子学习以锻炼心智和努力工作的能力。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据“Hu’s students have to sleep in cold rooms in winter and keep practicing hard outside although it is very hot or cold.”可知，习武学生的生活很艰难，与选项C中的“easy or interesting”符合，与not构成否定意思，故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“Hu is afraid that his art will soon die out”可知，胡正声担心他的艺术无法传承。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“These days, to attract new students, Hu has brought some new ideas into his kung fu lessons to make them lively and interesting. Hopefully, more and more students will show interest in learning kung fu.”可知，尽管有创新的方法，仍然很难吸引新学生，因此推断在登封学习多年习武对孩子来说很辛苦。故选C。 5．最佳标题题。通篇文章主要讨论了如何传承和吸引学生学习中国功夫，选项A“传承中国功夫”最能概括文章的中心思想，故选A。 主题03 人与自我——运动健康 Passage 1 (24-25八年级上·四川成都市石室中学·期中) How much exercise do children need to keep in good health? Every parent wants to know the answer. In the US, many people think that children should get more than an hour of exercise each day. It is the same in the UK. A new study shows that children should exercise for their muscles and bones more than three times a week. Children can do activities like climbing and playing on monkey bars—this kind of exercise is good for their muscles. Jumping and running are good for their bones. Children should also do aerobic exercise every day. They can walk fast or go running. However, many children don’ t like doing exercise or playing sports outside. Today, many children like playing computer games or watching TV at home every day. What can parents do to help the children do sports outside? Doctor Stephanie Walsh says she often sees parents taking long walks with their children as a kind of exercise, but that might not be the best way. “Although walking is a great activity, it’s really boring for children. So, if you’re going to ask your children to go for a walk, think of some fun things to do along the way,” she says. ________ It’s a good idea to take them outside and let them play with their friends.

You may be the same. But what about those times when you are sick? If you do not feel well, should you keep following your daily exercise habit? Laskowski, a doctor, says that right exercise is usually OK if you have a common cold. Laskowski and other doctors have a common rule about it. “It is usually fine to exercise,” he says, “if your symptoms (症状) are all ‘above the neck’, such as a runny (流鼻涕的) nose, a sneeze (喷嚏) or a minor (轻微的) sore throat.” Laskowski also says that exercise may make you feel better and help you breathe (呼吸) more easily. An American health website gives a similar idea. Geralyn Coopersmith, a physical fitness trainer, wrote some books on exercise. “The rule is that if you take some medicine and don’t feel so sick, it’s OK to exercise.” However, both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski say taking a break is better if your symptoms appear “below the neck”, such as a bad cough or a pain in the stomach. If you don’t feel too bad, you can cut back on the intensity (强度) of your exercise. For example, if you usually run, take a quick walk. When you feel better, you can exercise with your usual intensity. However, Dr. Laskowski says that exercising when you have more than a common cold could bring “more serious illness”. 1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Exercising when you have a common cold. B．Exercising when you get little sleep. C．Exercising when you eat nothing. 2．When should people stop exercising according to Dr. Laskowski? A．When they have a pain in the stomach. B．When they have a common cold. C．When they have a pain in the throat. 3．What can we infer from the passage? A．Both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski wrote some books on exercise. B．Taking a quick walk is better than running when you don’t feel too bad. C．If you have a serious cough, you should run half an hour less than usual. 4．What would be the best title for the passage? A．How can you keep healthy? B．Can exercise help you feel better? C．Should you exercise while sick? 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文主要讨论了生病的时候是否应该锻炼。 1．词义猜测题。根据第二段“Laskowski, a doctor, says that right exercise is usually OK if you have a common cold.”以及第三段“Laskowski and other doctors have a common rule about it.”可知，医生拉斯科斯基说，如果你患了普通感冒，适当的运动通常是没问题的，拉斯科斯基和其他医生对此有一个共同的原则。由此可知，it指的是“患普通感冒时锻炼身体”。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第六段“However, both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski say taking a break is better if your symptoms appear ‘below the neck’, such as a bad cough or a pain in the stomach.”可知，根据拉斯科斯基医生的说法，当人们胃痛时应该停止锻炼。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“If you don’t feel too bad, you can cut back on the intensity (强度) of your exercise. For example, if you usually run, take a quick walk.”可知，如果你感觉不太糟糕，你可以减少锻炼的强度。例如，如果你经常跑步，可以换成快速行走。由此推知，当你感觉不太糟的时候，快速行走比跑步更好。故选B。 4．标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要讨论了生病的时候是否应该锻炼。因此，选项C“生病的时候应该锻炼吗？”是最佳标题。故选C。 主题04 人与自然——航空航天 Passage 1 (24-25八年级上·四川成都武侯区西川实验学校·期中) In 2003, China sent its first astronaut, Yang Liwei, into space. Since then, many Chinese astronauts also “reached for the stars”. Zhai Zhigang, Cai Xuzhe, Song Lingdong, and Wang Haoze are some of them. The last three carried out the tasks (执行任务) of Shenzhou-19 in space. Do you dream of becoming an astronaut like them? To be an astronaut, you need to be very healthy. Good eyesight and a strong heart are important. You’d better not have any small problems. For example, a decayed tooth (龋齿) could get worse in space and bring problems for astronauts. In China, you must be a great pilot before you can be an astronaut. You must fly more than 600 hours without accidents (事故). And then you might start hard training after becoming a backup astronaut. For example, you have to wear a 200kg suit and do tasks underwater for six or seven hours without eating or going to the toilet. This is like doing tasks in spacewalks. Education is important as well. Astronauts take about 60 courses to get ready for a task, such as math, English, science, and many more. So they can also do scientific experiments (实验) in space. However, it’s possible that backup astronauts can never go to space. During the Shenzhou-18 task, only three astronauts could go into space. But there are other backup astronauts. They are also heroes of this great space program. 1．Who are the members of the Shenzhou-19 task? ①Yang Liwei  ②Cai Xuzhe  ③Song Lingdong ④Zhai Zhigang  ⑤Wang Haoze A．①③④ B．②④⑤ C．②③⑤ 2．What might happen if astronauts have a decayed tooth in space? A．They might have heart problems. B．They will have bad eyesight. C．Their tooth decay might become worse. 3．Who may be called a “backup astronaut”? A．Jenny—She can do the same tasks as other astronauts but never took a task in space before. B．John—He carried out two tasks in space in the past three years. C．Tom—He is in good health and good at science, math, and English. 4．What training should an astronaut take? A．Flying an airplane for about 600 days. B．Wearing special clothes and doing tasks underwater. C．Practicing spacewalks for six or seven hours every day. 5．What question can we find the answer from the passage? A．How do astronauts stay healthy in space? B．What does it take to become an astronaut? C．Why does one need to be a pilot before being an astronaut? 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．A 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文讲述了成为中国宇航员需要具备的条件和经过的训练。它介绍了参加神舟十九号任务的一些宇航员，并强调了身体健康、飞行经验和教育的重要性。文章还提到，宇航员需进行穿着厚重宇航服在水下训练等艰苦的训练。此外，后备宇航员也可能无法真正进入太空，但他们同样对航天计划做出了贡献。 1．细节理解题。根据“Zhai Zhigang, Cai Xuzhe, Song Lingdong, and Wang Haoze are some of them. The last three carried out the tasks (执行任务) of Shenzhou-19 in space.”可知执行神舟19号任务的是蔡旭哲、宋令东和王浩泽。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“For example, a decayed tooth (龋齿) could get worse in space and bring problems for astronauts.”可知龋齿在太空中可能会恶化。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“And then you might start hard training after becoming a backup astronaut.”可推出backup astronaut意为“备份宇航员”，“备份宇航员”是指可以进行相同任务但尚未执行过太空任务的人，Jenny符合条件。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“For example, you have to wear a 200kg suit and do tasks underwater for six or seven hours without eating or going to the toilet.”可知宇航员应该进行的一项训练是穿着特制的衣服在水下执行任务。故选B。 5．主旨大意题。通读全文可知文中详细描述了成为宇航员需要具备的条件。故选B。 主题05 人与自然——动植物 Passage 1 (24-25八年级上·四川成都市第七中学初中学校·期中) a Walking in the sky The world’s longest suspension footbridge opened in the Czech Republic (捷克共和国) in May.
