However, they are special to her because they belonged to her grandmother. After Sara’s grandmother died, her family chose something of hers to keep to remember her. As Sara lived far away, her mother picked things out for her—a tablecloth, a mirror, and an old pot. Sara kept these things, but she didn’t use them much, The tablecloth didn’t fit her tables. She didn’t like the color of the mirror frame (镜框), and the pot was too small and old. Sara’s life changed when she read something in a book: Don’t keep anything in your house that you don’t find useful or beautiful. That’s right. “But what about sentimental (情感的) things like heirlooms? They’re beautiful if they remind us of good times with loved ones,” Sara thought. Sara decided to give these things a fresh start. She painted the mirror frame a different color to go with her daughter’s room. Although Sara’s daughter never met her grandmother, they share a connection through the mirror. Sara bought a table to go with her grandmother’s tablecloth. She also started using her grandmother’s pot. Whenever she cooks with it, Sara thinks of her grandmother making bread long ago. These things, once forgotten, are useful again, bringing together old memories and new stories. 1．Why did Sara hardly use her heirlooms? A．Because they were too old. B．Because she liked modern things better. C．Because they didn’t meet her needs or taste. D．Because they reminded her of her grandmother. 2．What made Sara change her attitude toward the heirlooms? A．Advice from a friend. B．Words from a book. C．Her mother’s advice. D．Her daughter’s wish. 3．What can we infer from the text? A．Sara used her heirlooms to save money. B．Sara didn’t find her heirlooms beautiful. C．Sara will keep more old things at home. D．Old things have sentimental meaning for Sara. 4．What could be the best title for the text? A．Old treasures, new stories. B．Sara’s love for DIY activities. C．How to choose family heirlooms. D．The meaning of expensive heirlooms. Passage 2 Nora was feeling bad. She thought it was the worst week in her life. On Monday, she broke her new watch. On Tuesday, she fell off her bike. On Wednesday, she made a mess of her favorite skirt. On Thursday, she missed her piano lesson. On Friday, her mum worked late so she had to stay at school for one more hour! She went home and said to her mum, “My whole week was bad. And those bad things still stay in my mind. Why do I only remember something bad? There must be something wrong with me!” Mum smiled and said, “My girl! Don’t be angry with yourself. Everyone feels like that sometimes. Our mind remembers bad things because it wants to keep us safe. Bad feelings are not easy to leave. You need some practice to change your mind.” “What should I do?” Nora asked. “Take a few deep breaths and try to think about something happy,” Mum said. Nora took a few deep breaths as Mum told her to and tried to think of beautiful flowers and the blue sky. “Wow” said Nora. “It’s quite easy to change my mind.” The next week, while Nora was walking to school, she knocked on a tree and fell over. She felt her face getting hot. She was going to get angry again. Just at the moment, she remembered Mum’s words and the mind-changing power. She took a deep breath and tried to feel the warm sun on her face. It worked. It really worked. She felt much better. “Well, I fell over,” she said.

Thinking the piano accordion (键盘式手风琴) a reasonable instrument, my parents asked me to attend lessons offered at weekends. After several weeks, my teacher told Mum that I had talent and could be a musician. As a result, for Christmas I received a small accordion as a gift. Then, in 1983, I decided to return to full-time studies. Needing money to go on my education, I placed an advertisement and found a buyer for my accordion. Over the years, I felt sorry when I thought of my father. He once worked so hard to pay for the accordion. I always remembered how much happiness my practising and playing it brought to him. By 2013, Dad was in a nursing home and could just stay in bed all day and all night. Doctors said I could bring something in to cheer him up. I began to think how I could bring that happiness to him when I visited. So I asked my son, Sam, to find me a small accordion to be taken to play for my dad. Weeks later, I took the bus to Thompson Pawnbrokers where Sam told me to check out the accordions he found. When I knew that there were only two full-sized accordions, I explained that I wanted something smaller. As soon as the shopkeeper placed another instrument on the counter, I found it was the one I used to have! Before Dad passed away the following month, I brought the instrument to the nursing home. When I asked, “Do you know what that is, Papa?” Although he had dementia (痴呆), he answered, “Of course, Lenny! It’s your accordion.” 1．The writer sold his accordion because ________.

A．His father was too excited to say a word. B．His father showed little attention. C．His father still remembered it. D．His father asked for it as a gift. 题型3 说明文 Passage 1 Numbers are everywhere in our world. They do much more than just count things. They help us understand life and solve difficult problems. Science & Health Numbers keep us safe and healthy. Builders use special numbers like 3.14 (π) to make strong bridges that won’t fall down. Doctors use numbers like 37℃ (normal body temperature) and 60-100 beats per minute (normal heartbeat) to check health. ▲ Numbers tell us about people. Did you know that Asia has around 4.8 billion people? That’s more than half of all people on Earth! Leaders use these numbers to decide how many schools to build. In bad times, numbers help decide how much food or medicine is needed. Stores even use numbers to know which products sell well. Everyday Uses We see numbers every day. When baking a cake, you need twice as much flour as sugar. At stores, a 20% discount means you can pay less money. On the road, signs like “60 km/h” tell drivers the maximum speed. Dates also use numbers, like “June 26th”. There are also some fun facts about numbers. People think differently about some numbers. In China, people believe that the number 8 means good fortune. Meanwhile, in some Western countries, people think 13 is unlucky.      Numbers help us describe everything—from small things to huge stars. They are the world’s special language. 1．Which of the following is best for “ ▲ ”? A．Numbers in Art B．Numbers for Fun C．Numbers and Cultures D．Numbers for Decisions 2．Why do stores use numbers according to the passage? A．To find out popular products easily.

Young people are growing great interest in the game. “Pickleball is welcomed not only in big cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai, but also in smaller cities as well.” said Zeng Guobiao, director (主任) of the China Liaison Office of the International Pickleball Federation (国际匹克球联合会). “Young people in Anhui, Shandong, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Hubei, Guizhou and Yunnan provinces are also interested in the sport and starting to set up clubs.” He said. Pickleball first started in 1965 in the US. It is a perfect game for all ages and skill levels (水平). Learning to play pickleball is easier than you think, just with little running needed. There are usually two or four players. They hit a ball over a net (网) which looks like a tennis net but lower. And the ball is also like a tennis ball but bigger and lighter. Zhou Minghao from Chongqing started to play pickleball in May. “As a sports lover, I have tried many sports and got many major injuries (重伤), so I decided to play pickleball, which is safe.” he said. Zhang Xin, who started the Chengdu PANG Pickleball Club, said, “The sport of pickleball is fun and competitive (竞争的). It’s a sport for anyone, anywhere and anytime.” Wu Xiaomeng from Chongqing agrees. He tried it out with some friends in September 2022. “It is a friendly game for men and women. Now, more and more women join us to play pickleball together, because it needs less physical power (体力) than other sports such as basketball or soccer. In pickleball, women can play as well as men.” he said. “And you can meet many interesting people and make friends with them. I believe this sport can go far in China.” 1．When did people first playpickle ball in the US? A．In 1964. B．In 1965. C．In 2002. D．In 2022. 2．What can we learn from Zeng Guobiao’s words? A．Pickleball is a new sport. B．Pickleball is getting popular in China. C．Pickleball is just known in big cities. D．Pickleball is not popular in China. 3．Which picture looks most like pickleball? A．B． C． D． 4．Why do so many people like playing pickle ball? ①It’s not very dangerous.   ②It’s easy to start with.   ③It needs people to run a lot. ④It is a friendly game for men and women.   ⑤It’s fun and not competitive. A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④⑤ D．①②③④⑤ Passage 3 “Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?” It is a popular topic among young people around China today. Many people are crazy about it so that they take a personality test named Myers-Briggs test to find out the answer. Many people find the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) useful. It groups people into 16 types, which start with the letter “I” or “E”, such as “ENTJ, INFP” or more. “E” is short for “Extroversion” while “I” is for “Introversion”. “I’m an ‘E’ person. I should go to the party and make more friends.” “I’m an ‘E’ person. I’d like to work by myself. I could be a writer in the future.” They believe different types can help them make decisions for activities, jobs or even life choices more quickly. But there are also problems. Some people take the test for a second time and get different results. Some people find it hard to answer some questions. “I like watching TV by myself. But I also enjoy playing with friends. Am I an ‘I’ or an ‘E’?” When you take a personality test, you may think, “Oh, that’s me.” That’s because the descriptions (描述) are generic. They can be used to describe many people. Research has found that over 50 percent of people get a different score when they retook the MBTI just five weeks later. Personalities can change with time, and they are not black-or-white, scientists say. You may be introverted now but become extroverted when you get older. Or, you can be both an “I” and an “E”. Don’t label yourself! Studies have also shown that the test is not real at telling people’s success in different jobs. So, don’t take it too seriously. 1．MBTI is a test ________. A．without a hot topic B．with the same answer C．about young people in China D．for your personality type 2．If you are an “E” person, you may ________. A．like to read books in the library on vacation B．like to cook simple meals at home on weekends C．like to watch movies with a pet dog on Friday night D．like to have fun in different festivals with different people 3．What does the underlined word “generic” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Common. B．Special. C．Clear. D．Simple. 4．Why does the writer write the passage? A．To tell what MBTI is. B．To tell if MBTI is useful. C．To teach people how to use MBTI. D．To tell how many personality types people have. 题型4 议论文 Passage 1 On the side of the road in the Hoh Xil Nature Reserve in Qinghai Province, you might see a fat wolf. It wags its tail in front of the passing cars. It hopes to get a meal. However, the wolf was skin and bones a few months ago. It’s said that the old hungry wolf was forced to leave the wolf pack because it was not good at hunting. But that all changed after a passing driver gave it two pies and posted a video of it online. The video made the wolf very popular, and a lot of people came to the area to provide it with food. Since then, the wolf has given up its hunting instinct and turned to passers-by for snacks. The snacks are high in oil, sugar and salt, such as pies, roasted chicken and sausages. Later, more wolves have joined this behaviour. The wolf’s change makes it look like a pet dog. But the change means that it is losing its ability to live in nature, and that may cause the wild animal to die. In fact, it is common for wild animals like wolves and bears to be fed near the roads in provinces. People care about wild animals, but their feeding sometimes can cause harm to both animals and themselves. If a wild animal needs help, people are suggested to report it to the government for professional handling (专业处理). 1．How do people change the old hungry wolf’s life? A．By taking it home and feeding it. B．By calling the local government for help. C．By providing it with living space. D．By posting a video and making it popular. 2．Which is NOT included in the snacks given by people? A．Pies. B．Vegetables. C．Sausages. D．Roasted chicken. 3．What does the writer think of people’s feeding wild animals? A．It’s harmful. B．It’s difficult. C．It’s necessary. D．It’s interesting. 4．What’s the best title of the passage? A．Wild wolves are in danger B．A wild wolf is well fed C．Wolves are popular animals D．A wolf brings joy to people Passage 2 Tracking apps (追踪应用) are becoming more and more popular. With tracking apps, parents feel close to their children even when they’re not at home. Although many parents want to know where their children are, some people think that tracking is bad for children. Tracking apps mean that parents know where their children are. They can also set alerts (警报) for themselves, so they know when their children leave a place or are on their way home. This makes parents feel safe and relaxed. Instead of being worried while their children are out, parents can relax because they’ll get alerts if their children are running late. Tracking apps also give young people a taste of independence (独立), especially if their parents would not let them move around so freely. Tracking apps take away a big part of childhood. You will feel free when you go out without a parent. If young people know their parents are “watching” them, they won’t have the same feeling of excitement and freedom. Children may also feel that they can’t go anywhere without their parents following them. Young people may also become worried. Because this is only the beginning for parents to watch their lives. Parents may also become dependent on tracking apps and not learn to believe in their children. Children need to have true freedom so that they can live better. It’s true that tracking apps are good for parents, but most children still dislike them. Whether parents track their children or not is still a big question. 1．What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A．More parents are using tracking apps now. B．Most parents think tracking is bad for children. C．The use of tracking apps is getting less popular. D．Parents won’t feel safe if they use tracking apps. 2．What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Children will get alerts for themselves. B．Parents know where their children are. C．Children like using some tracking apps. D．Parents know if their children are independent. 3．If children know their parents are “watching” them, they will be ________. A．excited B．independent C．unhappy D．free 4．According to the passage, we can know that tracking apps ________. A．give parents true freedom B．are very popular with children C．have their good and bad sides D．help make parent-child relationship (关系) better 5．What’s the structure (结构) of the passage? A．①②③/④ B．①/②/③④ C．①/②③/④ D．①/②③④ Passage 3 There was an ancient Chinese story. A naughty boy Mencius and his family lived next to the cemetery (墓地). Mencius liked to hold a funeral (葬礼) just like people around. Mencius’ mother took him and moved to a market. Then Mencius and his neighbours’ children learnt to buy and sell meat. Finally, they moved again and lived next to a school. In this neighborhood, people treated each other politely. Mencius’ mother thought that was the right living place for her son. The story tells us the importance of people around us. For students, they can be role models. In a study, I interviewed some students at Bingham High School. These teens have lots of opinions about role models. Teens need role models to provide direction. Jeff Pratt said, “To have a role model helps you to decide where you want to go with your life.” A role model shows what a teen’s life could be like in the future. “Role models are people you admire, and those people that help make you a good person.” This is Spencer Park’s opinion of who role models are and why it is important to have them. A role model is “someone to look at and try to learn good qualities from,” said Natalie Bean. When teens were asked “What is a role model like?”, the list included words such as encouraging, inspiring, strong-willed, honest, ready to stand up for what they believe in, helpful, easy to talk to, talented and cheerful. Teens want to learn from their role models how to succeed and also how to carry on after failure. Robbie Jenkins said, “Good role models are people that stand up for what is right and good. Role models encourage and inspire us.” Heidi Woolley said, “A good role model makes a teen do the best in school and in life and make much progress. Then he will have a good opinion of his own abilities and accept himself gradually. In this way, role models help build up a teen’s self-esteem.” “The role models teens need are not the ones that appear in the media,” said Natalie Bean. My study also shows students are quick to agree that a true role model is not the person with the best job title, the greatest responsibility, or the greatest fame (名望). Anyone who inspires a child to achieve dreams in life can be a right role model. 1．The writer uses the story in Paragraph 1 to show that ________ A．people should have good habits B．people are influenced by others C．people are able to choose good neighbours D．people know how to choose a living place 2．What do students at Bingham High School probably agree with? A．Role models stand up for what is right and social. B．Anyone can inspire a child to achieve dreams in life. C．Having a role model decides where to go with your life. D．A teen can learn good qualities from a good role model. 3．What does the underlined word “self-esteem” mean? A．self-respect. B．self-control. C．self-praise. D．self-support. 4．What’s the writer’s main purpose in this passage? A．To know what students’ role models do. B．To tell how a teen learns from a role model. C．To find out students’ ways to be a role model. D．To share ideas of some teens about role models. 真题再现 Passage 1 （24-25八年级上·辽宁沈阳·期中） The Sunniest Show of All MusicalsThe sunniest show The show is set on a Greek island. The sun always shines.

At the end of the training, they will show how to climb trees with some special equipment. The practice is enjoyable. “I think tree climbing is good for young people,” said Li Zhonghua, an outdoor sports teacher at the university. He’s teaching tree climbing this year. He said, “It shows a new and interesting sports activity and we are trying to develop (发展) students’ skills (技能) for their future jobs and their life. Now climbing has become art independent (独立的) industry that has created some new kinds of jobs. ” Some people worry about the students’ safety, some care about the trees, and some are for the subject.

However, Sara doesn’t think so. She has a few heirlooms. Anyone can buy them in a shop. However, they are special to her because they belonged to her grandmother. After Sara’s grandmother died, her family chose something of hers to keep to remember her. As Sara lived far away, her mother picked things out for her—a tablecloth, a mirror, and an old pot. Sara kept these things, but she didn’t use them much, The tablecloth didn’t fit her tables. She didn’t like the color of the mirror frame (镜框), and the pot was too small and old. Sara’s life changed when she read something in a book: Don’t keep anything in your house that you don’t find useful or beautiful. That’s right. “But what about sentimental (情感的) things like heirlooms? They’re beautiful if they remind us of good times with loved ones,” Sara thought. Sara decided to give these things a fresh start. She painted the mirror frame a different color to go with her daughter’s room. Although Sara’s daughter never met her grandmother, they share a connection through the mirror. Sara bought a table to go with her grandmother’s tablecloth. She also started using her grandmother’s pot. Whenever she cooks with it, Sara thinks of her grandmother making bread long ago. These things, once forgotten, are useful again, bringing together old memories and new stories. 1．Why did Sara hardly use her heirlooms? A．Because they were too old. B．Because she liked modern things better. C．Because they didn’t meet her needs or taste. D．Because they reminded her of her grandmother. 2．What made Sara change her attitude toward the heirlooms?

I told my parents I wanted to play the piano. Thinking the piano accordion (键盘式手风琴) a reasonable instrument, my parents asked me to attend lessons offered at weekends. After several weeks, my teacher told Mum that I had talent and could be a musician. As a result, for Christmas I received a small accordion as a gift. Then, in 1983, I decided to return to full-time studies. Needing money to go on my education, I placed an advertisement and found a buyer for my accordion. Over the years, I felt sorry when I thought of my father. He once worked so hard to pay for the accordion. I always remembered how much happiness my practising and playing it brought to him. By 2013, Dad was in a nursing home and could just stay in bed all day and all night. Doctors said I could bring something in to cheer him up. I began to think how I could bring that happiness to him when I visited. So I asked my son, Sam, to find me a small accordion to be taken to play for my dad. Weeks later, I took the bus to Thompson Pawnbrokers where Sam told me to check out the accordions he found. When I knew that there were only two full-sized accordions, I explained that I wanted something smaller. As soon as the shopkeeper placed another instrument on the counter, I found it was the one I used to have! Before Dad passed away the following month, I brought the instrument to the nursing home. When I asked, “Do you know what that is, Papa?” Although he had dementia (痴呆), he answered, “Of course, Lenny! It’s your accordion.” 1．The writer sold his accordion because ________.

Young people are growing great interest in the game. “Pickleball is welcomed not only in big cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai, but also in smaller cities as well.” said Zeng Guobiao, director (主任) of the China Liaison Office of the International Pickleball Federation (国际匹克球联合会). “Young people in Anhui, Shandong, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Hubei, Guizhou and Yunnan provinces are also interested in the sport and starting to set up clubs.” He said. Pickleball first started in 1965 in the US. It is a perfect game for all ages and skill levels (水平). Learning to play pickleball is easier than you think, just with little running needed. There are usually two or four players. They hit a ball over a net (网) which looks like a tennis net but lower. And the ball is also like a tennis ball but bigger and lighter. Zhou Minghao from Chongqing started to play pickleball in May. “As a sports lover, I have tried many sports and got many major injuries (重伤), so I decided to play pickleball, which is safe.” he said. Zhang Xin, who started the Chengdu PANG Pickleball Club, said, “The sport of pickleball is fun and competitive (竞争的). It’s a sport for anyone, anywhere and anytime.” Wu Xiaomeng from Chongqing agrees. He tried it out with some friends in September 2022. “It is a friendly game for men and women. Now, more and more women join us to play pickleball together, because it needs less physical power (体力) than other sports such as basketball or soccer. In pickleball, women can play as well as men.” he said. “And you can meet many interesting people and make friends with them. I believe this sport can go far in China.” 1．When did people first playpickle ball in the US? A．In 1964. B．In 1965. C．In 2002. D．In 2022. 2．What can we learn from Zeng Guobiao’s words?

A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④⑤ D．①②③④⑤ 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了匹克球在中国越来越受欢迎。 1．细节理解题。根据“Pickleball first started in 1965 in the US.”可知，在美国，人们于1965年第一次玩匹克球。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据“Pickleball is welcomed not only in big cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai, but also in smaller cities as well.”以及选项可知，B选项“匹克球在中国越来越受欢迎。”符合题意。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“They hit a ball over a net (网) which looks like a tennis net but lower. And the ball is also like a tennis ball but bigger and lighter.”可知，匹克球是一种球类运动，它需要一个球网，球像网球一样，但更大更轻。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“Learning to play pickleball is easier than you think, just with little running needed.”、“As a sports lover, I have tried many sports and got many major injuries (重伤), so I decided to play pickleball, which is safe.”以及“The sport of pickleball is fun and competitive (竞争的). It’s a sport for anyone, anywhere and anytime.”可知，它很容易开始，只需要稍微跑动一下，不太危险，对男人和女人都是一项友好的运动，很有趣而且有竞争力。故选B。 Passage 3 “Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?” It is a popular topic among young people around China today. Many people are crazy about it so that they take a personality test named Myers-Briggs test to find out the answer. Many people find the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) useful. It groups people into 16 types, which start with the letter “I” or “E”, such as “ENTJ, INFP” or more. “E” is short for “Extroversion” while “I” is for “Introversion”. “I’m an ‘E’ person. I should go to the party and make more friends.” “I’m an ‘E’ person. I’d like to work by myself. I could be a writer in the future.” They believe different types can help them make decisions for activities, jobs or even life choices more quickly. But there are also problems. Some people take the test for a second time and get different results. Some people find it hard to answer some questions. “I like watching TV by myself. But I also enjoy playing with friends. Am I an ‘I’ or an ‘E’?” When you take a personality test, you may think, “Oh, that’s me.” That’s because the descriptions (描述) are generic. They can be used to describe many people. Research has found that over 50 percent of people get a different score when they retook the MBTI just five weeks later. Personalities can change with time, and they are not black-or-white, scientists say. You may be introverted now but become extroverted when you get older. Or, you can be both an “I” and an “E”. Don’t label yourself! Studies have also shown that the test is not real at telling people’s success in different jobs. So, don’t take it too seriously. 1．MBTI is a test ________. A．without a hot topic B．with the same answer C．about young people in China D．for your personality type 2．If you are an “E” person, you may ________. A．like to read books in the library on vacation B．like to cook simple meals at home on weekends C．like to watch movies with a pet dog on Friday night D．like to have fun in different festivals with different people 3．What does the underlined word “generic” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Common. B．Special. C．Clear. D．Simple. 4．Why does the writer write the passage? A．To tell what MBTI is. B．To tell if MBTI is useful. C．To teach people how to use MBTI. D．To tell how many personality types people have. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了MBTI性格测试在中国的流行现象、其用途及存在的问题，并提醒人们不要过于依赖测试结果。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第1段“Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?…Many people are crazy about it so that they take a personality test named Myers-Briggs test to find out the answer.”可知，MBTI是一种帮助人们了解性格类型的测试。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第2段“‘E’ is short for ‘Extroversion’...‘I’m an ‘E’ person. I should go to the party and make more friends.’”可知，“E”型人格外向，喜欢社交活动。选项D“喜欢在不同节日与不同的人玩乐”符合外向特征。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“That’s because the descriptions (描述) are generic. They can be used to describe many people.”可知，“generic”指描述具有普遍性，适用于多数人。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。全文既介绍了MBTI的用途，也指出其问题，并提醒人们不要过度依赖，因此作者旨在讨论MBTI的实用性。故选B。 题型4 议论文 Passage 1 On the side of the road in the Hoh Xil Nature Reserve in Qinghai Province, you might see a fat wolf. It wags its tail in front of the passing cars. It hopes to get a meal. However, the wolf was skin and bones a few months ago. It’s said that the old hungry wolf was forced to leave the wolf pack because it was not good at hunting. But that all changed after a passing driver gave it two pies and posted a video of it online. The video made the wolf very popular, and a lot of people came to the area to provide it with food. Since then, the wolf has given up its hunting instinct and turned to passers-by for snacks. The snacks are high in oil, sugar and salt, such as pies, roasted chicken and sausages. Later, more wolves have joined this behaviour. The wolf’s change makes it look like a pet dog. But the change means that it is losing its ability to live in nature, and that may cause the wild animal to die. In fact, it is common for wild animals like wolves and bears to be fed near the roads in provinces. People care about wild animals, but their feeding sometimes can cause harm to both animals and themselves. If a wild animal needs help, people are suggested to report it to the government for professional handling (专业处理). 1．How do people change the old hungry wolf’s life? A．By taking it home and feeding it. B．By calling the local government for help. C．By providing it with living space. D．By posting a video and making it popular. 2．Which is NOT included in the snacks given by people? A．Pies. B．Vegetables. C．Sausages. D．Roasted chicken. 3．What does the writer think of people’s feeding wild animals? A．It’s harmful. B．It’s difficult. C．It’s necessary. D．It’s interesting. 4．What’s the best title of the passage? A．Wild wolves are in danger B．A wild wolf is well fed C．Wolves are popular animals D．A wolf brings joy to people 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，文章通过讲述青海可可西里一只狼因人类投喂而放弃狩猎本能、失去野外生存能力的故事，批判了随意投喂野生动物的危害，并呼吁通过专业方式处理野生动物保护问题。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“But that all changed after a passing driver gave it two pies and posted a video of it online. The video made the wolf very popular, and a lot of people came to the area to provide it with food. ”可知，人们通过发布视频并使其流行起来改变了饥饿的老狼的生活。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The snacks are high in oil, sugar and salt, such as pies, roasted chicken and sausages.”可知，零食是高油、高糖和高盐的，比如馅饼、烤鸡和香肠。所以蔬菜不包含在人们赠送的零食中。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“People care about wild animals, but their feeding sometimes can cause harm to both animals and themselves.”可知，作者认为人们喂养野生动物对它们是有害的。故选A。 4．最佳标题题。根据第一段中“On the side of the road in the Hoh Xil Nature Reserve in Qinghai Province,you might see a fat wolf.”以及通读全文可知，本文通过讲述青海可可西里一只狼因人类投喂而放弃狩猎本能、失去野外生存能力的故事，批判了随意投喂野生动物的危害，并呼吁通过专业方式处理野生动物保护问题。由此可知，B选项“一只饿狼被人们喂饱”最适合做文章的标题。故选B。 Passage 2 Tracking apps (追踪应用) are becoming more and more popular. With tracking apps, parents feel close to their children even when they’re not at home. Although many parents want to know where their children are, some people think that tracking is bad for children. Tracking apps mean that parents know where their children are. They can also set alerts (警报) for themselves, so they know when their children leave a place or are on their way home. This makes parents feel safe and relaxed. Instead of being worried while their children are out, parents can relax because they’ll get alerts if their children are running late. Tracking apps also give young people a taste of independence (独立), especially if their parents would not let them move around so freely. Tracking apps take away a big part of childhood. You will feel free when you go out without a parent. If young people know their parents are “watching” them, they won’t have the same feeling of excitement and freedom. Children may also feel that they can’t go anywhere without their parents following them. Young people may also become worried. Because this is only the beginning for parents to watch their lives. Parents may also become dependent on tracking apps and not learn to believe in their children. Children need to have true freedom so that they can live better. It’s true that tracking apps are good for parents, but most children still dislike them. Whether parents track their children or not is still a big question. 1．What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A．More parents are using tracking apps now. B．Most parents think tracking is bad for children. C．The use of tracking apps is getting less popular. D．Parents won’t feel safe if they use tracking apps. 2．What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Children will get alerts for themselves. B．Parents know where their children are. C．Children like using some tracking apps. D．Parents know if their children are independent. 3．If children know their parents are “watching” them, they will be ________. A．excited B．independent C．unhappy D．free 4．According to the passage, we can know that tracking apps ________. A．give parents true freedom B．are very popular with children C．have their good and bad sides D．help make parent-child relationship (关系) better 5．What’s the structure (结构) of the passage? A．①②③/④ B．①/②/③④ C．①/②③/④ D．①/②③④ 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文是议论文。主要围绕追踪应用展开讨论，介绍了其在父母监管孩子方面的优势，也阐述了其对孩子成长可能带来的负面影响，最终提出父母是否该使用追踪应用仍是个难题。 1．推理判断题。根据“Tracking apps (追踪应用) are becoming more and more popular.”及“many parents want to know where their children are”可推知，现在越来越多的父母在使用追踪应用。故选A。   2．词句猜测题。根据“Tracking apps mean that parents know where their children are. They can also set alerts (警报) for themselves, so they know when their children leave a place or are on their way home.”可知，“This”指代的是前文提到的“父母知道孩子的位置，能设置警报了解孩子行踪”这一情况，核心是父母知晓孩子的位置。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“If young people know their parents are ‘watching’ them, they won’t have the same feeling of excitement and freedom. Children may also feel that they can’t go anywhere without their parents following them. Young people may also become worried.”可知，孩子知道被“监视”后，会失去兴奋和自由感，还可能感到担忧，即会不开心。故选C。 4．细节理解题。文章第二段提到追踪应用能让父母安心，给孩子一定独立空间（优势）；第三段指出其会剥夺孩子的自由感、让孩子担忧，还可能让父母依赖应用而不相信孩子（劣势）。由此可知，追踪应用有好的一面也有坏的一面。故选C。   5．篇章结构题。文章第一段引出话题——追踪应用流行，且存在父母想用与有人认为对孩子不好的争议；第二段阐述追踪应用的优势；第三段论述追踪应用的劣势；第四段总结观点，指出父母是否使用仍是难题。因此结构为“①/②③/④”。故选C。 Passage 3 There was an ancient Chinese story. A naughty boy Mencius and his family lived next to the cemetery (墓地). Mencius liked to hold a funeral (葬礼) just like people around. Mencius’ mother took him and moved to a market. Then Mencius and his neighbours’ children learnt to buy and sell meat. Finally, they moved again and lived next to a school. In this neighborhood, people treated each other politely. Mencius’ mother thought that was the right living place for her son. The story tells us the importance of people around us. For students, they can be role models. In a study, I interviewed some students at Bingham High School. These teens have lots of opinions about role models. Teens need role models to provide direction. Jeff Pratt said, “To have a role model helps you to decide where you want to go with your life.” A role model shows what a teen’s life could be like in the future. “Role models are people you admire, and those people that help make you a good person.” This is Spencer Park’s opinion of who role models are and why it is important to have them. A role model is “someone to look at and try to learn good qualities from,” said Natalie Bean. When teens were asked “What is a role model like?”, the list included words such as encouraging, inspiring, strong-willed, honest, ready to stand up for what they believe in, helpful, easy to talk to, talented and cheerful. Teens want to learn from their role models how to succeed and also how to carry on after failure. Robbie Jenkins said, “Good role models are people that stand up for what is right and good. Role models encourage and inspire us.” Heidi Woolley said, “A good role model makes a teen do the best in school and in life and make much progress. Then he will have a good opinion of his own abilities and accept himself gradually. In this way, role models help build up a teen’s self-esteem.” “The role models teens need are not the ones that appear in the media,” said Natalie Bean. My study also shows students are quick to agree that a true role model is not the person with the best job title, the greatest responsibility, or the greatest fame (名望). Anyone who inspires a child to achieve dreams in life can be a right role model. 1．The writer uses the story in Paragraph 1 to show that ________ A．people should have good habits B．people are influenced by others C．people are able to choose good neighbours D．people know how to choose a living place 2．What do students at Bingham High School probably agree with? A．Role models stand up for what is right and social. B．Anyone can inspire a child to achieve dreams in life. C．Having a role model decides where to go with your life. D．A teen can learn good qualities from a good role model. 3．What does the underlined word “self-esteem” mean? A．self-respect. B．self-control. C．self-praise. D．self-support. 4．What’s the writer’s main purpose in this passage? A．To know what students’ role models do. B．To tell how a teen learns from a role model. C．To find out students’ ways to be a role model. D．To share ideas of some teens about role models. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。通过“孟母三迁”的故事来论述青少年需要榜样来提供人生发展方向以及榜样的力量。 1．推理判断题。根据“The story tells us the importance of people around us.”可知，这个故事旨在说明人们会受到周围人的影响。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“A role model is ‘someone to look at and try to learn good qualities from,’ said Natalie Bean.”以及学生们对榜样的其他看法可推断，宾汉高中的学生可能认同青少年可以从好的榜样身上学到优秀品质这一观点。故选D。 3．词义猜测题。根据“A good role model makes a teen do the best in school and in life and make much progress. Then he will have a good opinion of his own abilities and accept himself gradually.”可知，好的榜样能让青少年对自己的能力有良好认知并逐渐接纳自己，这会帮助他们建立自尊。由此可推测“self-esteem”与“self-respect”意思相同，意为“自尊”。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。文章开头用孟子的故事引出榜样的话题，随后通过采访宾汉高中的学生，呈现了他们对榜样的定义、榜样的重要性、榜样应具备的品质等看法。由此可知，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是分享一些青少年关于榜样的观点。故选D。 真题再现 Passage 1 （24-25八年级上·辽宁沈阳·期中） The Sunniest Show of All MusicalsThe sunniest show The show is set on a Greek island.
