They are small restaurants that may not have beautiful environment or good service like traditional restaurants but have many delicious local (当地的) dishes. You cannot find them on the busy streets these days, because more tall buildings are built. Now, you can find hole-in-the-wall restaurants in some small streets in different parts of a city. The most popular hole-in-the-wall restaurants usually have a history of more than 10 years. Many hole-in-the-wall restaurant lovers expect more natural life. Kit Chen, a 30-year-old Beijing office worker, is one such example. During weekends, he always walks through different hutongs to find hole-in-the-wall restaurants. “Before that, I usually went to internet-famous restaurants. However, I found out that they only use pre-made food or just stir-fry (炒) their dishes. They are expensive and not fresh,” said Chen. But hole-in-the-wall restaurants are different. “They buy the ingredients (食材) from local markets, so the dishes are also cheap,” he added. Wang Hongjie, a 16-year-old student from Chengdu, likes the experience of eating at hole-in-the-wall restaurants. “There are always a lot of people at meal times, and because of the little space, many diners at hole-in-the-wall restaurants usually need to eat at the same table. We don’t know each other but we can talk with each other.” she said. “But at internet-famous restaurants, diners just quietly enjoy their meals. It’s boring.” However, some people worry that the dishes in these restaurants are not clean enough, and eating too much may bring us some health problems. To solve it, experts advised that these restaurants should get more training and have better service.

However some studies show these students don’t have any media literacy (媒体素养). It’s hard for them to think about the information they see. One study showed more than 80% of students didn’t know which they watched were real stories or ads looked like news. Also, the apps like Tik Tok on smart phones only send them the similar short videos with their interest. So students have few chances to get something new or different. Kevin John from Stanford University tries to help his students learn media literacy. He thinks some news stations only partly tell the truth and the short video makers do worse. He gave an example. From Picture I, people may think the mother lion is eating her kid, but from Picture 2, people can see she just wants to take her kid away. So he thinks students should avoid (避免) one-side information. With news information, it’s important for news stations to tell you what they think, but in short videos, the video makers just want to catch your eyes to get more likes. If a person has media literacy, he or she will know each story is not only about one side at this time. But how to solve the problem? Some people think the school is the best place to teach it. Others believe everyone should help students learn it. “It’s never too early to start learning media literacy.” John said. Students should have some basic 1 . Facts (事实) Problems Students spend a lot of time watching TV or short videos. The apps on the smart phones only send students the similar short videos with 2 .

Everyone should help students learn the skill of thinking from different sides to have media literacy. 【答案】1．media literacy 2．their interest 3．differences 4．One-side information 5．ways/solutions 【来源】四川省绵阳市三台县2024-2025学年八年级上学期11月期中英语试题 【导语】本文介绍了学生在观看电视节目和短视频时缺乏媒体素养的问题。他们很难判断信息的真实性，常常无法区分真实故事和广告。同时，智能手机应用只推送他们感兴趣的视频，减少了接触新事物的机会。 1．根据短文最后一段，John提出“It’s never too early to start learning media literacy.”，因此表格中关于学生应该具备的一些基本技能是“media literacy”。故填media literacy。 2．根据“the apps like Tik Tok on smart phones only send them the similar short videos with their interest.”可知，短视频应用只能给学生发送他们“感兴趣”的内容，即“their interest”。故填their interest。 3．根据“One study showed more than 80% of students didn’t know which they watched were real stories or ads looked like news.”可知，超过80%的学生不知道他们看到的哪些是真实故事，哪些是广告，它们看起来像新闻，难以分辨真实故事和广告之间的“不同”，“difference”意为“不同”，此处可用复数表示泛指。故填differences。 4．根据“He thinks some news stations only partly tell the truth and the short video makers do worse.”和“So he thinks students should avoid one-side information.”可知，新闻站和视频制作者存在只提供片面信息的问题，因此原因是“One-side information”意为“片面的信息”。故填One-side information。 5．根据“News stations only tell people what they think are the important. Video makers even give...to catch people’s eyes to get more likes.”可知，他们常常给出“one-side information”以吸引注意，短视频制作者甚至给出他们所谓的“方法或解决方案”来吸引人们的眼球从而获得更多的点赞。可见，他们提出的是片面的“方法或解决方案”来达到他们的目的。即“ways”或“solutions”。故填ways/solutions。 Passage 3 （24-25八年级上·四川省成都市武侯区玉林中学·期中） 根据短文内容，完成图表格中所缺信息。 This summer vacation, did you have much reading homework?

It’s important to know how to find ways to relax. First, we should try doing our work from the most important to the least important as well as from the most urgent (紧急的) to the least urgent. If some work is both important and urgent, such as studying for a next-day test, do it first. Once you finish those things, work on things that are important but less urgent, such as studying for the final exams. After that, we can work on problems that are less important. And leave the least urgent and important things to the last. Finishing our work this way helps a lot in knowing what to do first. If we worry about everything at the same time, we might easily feel worried all the time. Still, sometimes we feel worried even after sorting out (分类) our work. That’s common. We can try to add some sports activities into our weekly schedule. We don’t have to go to the gym (健身房), although that surely helps. We can just do something as small as walking around the neighborhood for 10 to 20 minutes. Besides, we can try mediation (冥想). Again, this isn’t something special. Just spend 10 to 20 minutes sitting upright, closing your eyes and listening to your own breathing (呼吸). If other things appear in your mind, let them be there but don’t keep thinking of them all the time. This helps you get into meditation faster. By trying these steps, we will feel relaxed and peaceful. 1 2 3 4 5 【答案】1．Relax 2．plan 3．②④ 4．necessary 5．thoughts 【导语】本文主要讲述了我们如何放松自己的方法。 1．根据“It’s important to know how to find ways to relax.”以及“By trying these steps, we will feel relaxed and peaceful.”可知，文中提到的三种方法都是为了来“放松”自己，relax“放松”，不定式符号to后应用动词原形，位于标题处，因此首字母需大写。故填Relax。 2．通读第二段可知，把工作分类为最重要的和不太重要的，最紧急的和不太紧急的，这是对于工作的一种计划，plan“计划”，可数名词，此处位于不定冠词a后因此应用单数形式。故填plan。 3．根据图表可知，②表示“重要但不紧急的事”，④表示“不重要但很紧急的事情”，因此对应文中第二段的描述“First, we should try doing our work from the most important to the least important as well as from the most urgent (紧急的) to the least urgent.”、“Once you finish those things, work on things that are important but less urgent, such as studying for the final exams. After that, we can work on problems that are less important. And leave the least urgent and important things to the last.”可知，正确排序为①②④③。故填②④。 4．根据“We don’t have to go to the gym (健身房)”可知，去健身房事是不必要的，因此应用necessary“必要的”，形容词作表语。故填necessary。 5．根据“If other things appear in your mind, let them be there but don’t keep thinking of them all the time.”可知，在进入冥想之前，不要长时间“想着”其他的事情，空处位于other“其他的”后，因此应用名词复数形式thoughts“思想”。故填thoughts。 Passage 2 （24-25八年级上·四川省成都市嘉祥教育集团·期中） 阅读下面短文，根据其内容，完成表格中所缺的信息，并将答案填写在答题卡相应的题号位置上。 Communication (交流) is the bridge for hearts and minds.

When we play sports, we take a break from all the time we spend in front of screens like TVs, computers and phones. These screens emit (发出) blue light. It is bad for our eyes.

This helps keep our eyes healthy and working well. Sports are often outdoor activities, which means we are in natural sunlight. Sunlight helps our body make vitamin D．So when we play sports outside, we’re not only having fun but also helping our eyes get enough vitamin D we need. Playing team sports or group activities is a also great way to make new friends and learn social skills (社交能力).

It allows people to enjoy reading at their doorsteps and brings great convenience to people. The mobile library is a tricycle (三轮脚踏车). The yellow tricycle carries a pink bookshelf. The bright color catches people’s eye easily. On the bookshelf, there are lots of books. Every weekend, the mobile library goes around the community. People can give away or read books. “Now, people are often too busy to go to the library and read,” Lu Jiayi, a community planner, said. “So we bring books to their doorsteps and hope they can enjoy reading instead of spending lots of time on mobile phones.” To start the mobile library project, the community planners invited eight families in the community to work together.

They are small restaurants that may not have beautiful environment or good service like traditional restaurants but have many delicious local (当地的) dishes. You cannot find them on the busy streets these days, because more tall buildings are built. Now, you can find hole-in-the-wall restaurants in some small streets in different parts of a city. The most popular hole-in-the-wall restaurants usually have a history of more than 10 years. Many hole-in-the-wall restaurant lovers expect more natural life. Kit Chen, a 30-year-old Beijing office worker, is one such example. During weekends, he always walks through different hutongs to find hole-in-the-wall restaurants. “Before that, I usually went to internet-famous restaurants. However, I found out that they only use pre-made food or just stir-fry (炒) their dishes. They are expensive and not fresh,” said Chen. But hole-in-the-wall restaurants are different. “They buy the ingredients (食材) from local markets, so the dishes are also cheap,” he added. Wang Hongjie, a 16-year-old student from Chengdu, likes the experience of eating at hole-in-the-wall restaurants. “There are always a lot of people at meal times, and because of the little space, many diners at hole-in-the-wall restaurants usually need to eat at the same table. We don’t know each other but we can talk with each other.” she said. “But at internet-famous restaurants, diners just quietly enjoy their meals. It’s boring.” However, some people worry that the dishes in these restaurants are not clean enough, and eating too much may bring us some health problems. To solve it, experts advised that these restaurants should get more training and have better service.

Hotpot is becoming popular because of its special ways to cook. From vegetables to meat, from noodles to seafood, people can put different ingredients (食材) they like into the hotpot. Unlike other cooking ways, boiling (煮沸) food can make its nutrients (营养) get into the soup. This way can make full use of all the ingredients. But eating hotpot is much more than an enjoyment for our taste or health. People usually eat hotpot with family or friends. For most Chinese people, eating hotpot is usually an important social activity (社交活动). When a group of people sit around a table to eat, talk and drink, it’s really a good time. People often say, “There’s nothing to worry about after having a hotpot.

When people are asked this question, most of their answers are my mother, my son, my daughter and so on. But don’t forget that there are some other people who care about you! They are your friends. In our daily life, friends are very important for us. Every one of us, young or old, should have at least one or two good friends. Our friends will listen to us when we speak, care about us when we are not feeling well, and stay with us when we are in difficulty. Being with friends, this can make us happy. As everyone needs friends, who can we make good friends with and how can we get on well with each other? Here are some ways. Make friends with those who work hard. Being with them, you will learn a lot from them. Don’t make friends with those who are quite different from you because it will be hard to get on with each other.

However some studies show these students don’t have any media literacy (媒体素养). It’s hard for them to think about the information they see. One study showed more than 80% of students didn’t know which they watched were real stories or ads looked like news. Also, the apps like Tik Tok on smart phones only send them the similar short videos with their interest. So students have few chances to get something new or different. Kevin John from Stanford University tries to help his students learn media literacy. He thinks some news stations only partly tell the truth and the short video makers do worse. He gave an example. From Picture I, people may think the mother lion is eating her kid, but from Picture 2, people can see she just wants to take her kid away. So he thinks students should avoid (避免) one-side information. With news information, it’s important for news stations to tell you what they think, but in short videos, the video makers just want to catch your eyes to get more likes. If a person has media literacy, he or she will know each story is not only about one side at this time. But how to solve the problem? Some people think the school is the best place to teach it. Others believe everyone should help students learn it. “It’s never too early to start learning media literacy.” John said. Students should have some basic 1 .

This September, we asked some students if they thought reading on vacations should be mandatory (强制的). Here are some of the answers. Reading should be made mandatory on vacations because you can improve your reading skills (提升阅读技巧). You would learn a lot of useful words. It’s also a good way to exercise your mind. —Krish Vijaykarthik Students can look for new kinds of books on vacations. They may find books that they really like. Then, when they go back to school, they may want to choose one of those books for a reading report. —Karolina DeLuca Students need to have the time to play and spend time with friends or family on vacations. They should decide to read or not by themselves. We all know that students don’t want to do things if others tell them they must do these things. —Alison Lee Some students don’t have a lot of time to read on school days because there is so much homework for them. And some of them may join clubs or help do the housework at home. Reading on vacations will give these students more time to read, and it will be good for their minds. —Jake Pyo Students’ 1 about Whether (是否) Reading on Vacations should be Mandatory Online For Krish Vijaykarthik It can improve students’ reading skills.

It’s important to know how to find ways to relax. First, we should try doing our work from the most important to the least important as well as from the most urgent (紧急的) to the least urgent. If some work is both important and urgent, such as studying for a next-day test, do it first. Once you finish those things, work on things that are important but less urgent, such as studying for the final exams. After that, we can work on problems that are less important. And leave the least urgent and important things to the last. Finishing our work this way helps a lot in knowing what to do first. If we worry about everything at the same time, we might easily feel worried all the time. Still, sometimes we feel worried even after sorting out (分类) our work. That’s common. We can try to add some sports activities into our weekly schedule. We don’t have to go to the gym (健身房), although that surely helps. We can just do something as small as walking around the neighborhood for 10 to 20 minutes. Besides, we can try mediation (冥想). Again, this isn’t something special. Just spend 10 to 20 minutes sitting upright, closing your eyes and listening to your own breathing (呼吸). If other things appear in your mind, let them be there but don’t keep thinking of them all the time. This helps you get into meditation faster. By trying these steps, we will feel relaxed and peaceful. 1 2 3 4 5 Passage 2 （24-25八年级上·四川省成都市嘉祥教育集团·期中） 阅读下面短文，根据其内容，完成表格中所缺的信息，并将答案填写在答题卡相应的题号位置上。 Communication (交流) is the bridge for hearts and minds. It’s like a fantastic key, opening doors to understanding. Everyone loves a good listener. Working on your listening skills can make you have a better communication with others. The advice below may help you. Focus (聚焦) on the speaker Turn off the TV, put away your phone. Never think about other things when someone is talking. Instead, focus only on what he is saying. Make sure to show you’re listening. Nod (点头) as the speaker talks, smile and laugh in a right way. Be patient (耐心的) enough Do not cut in on the speaker. A few seconds of silence (沉默) before giving answers may seem important. This lets you make sure the speaker finishes talking. Don’t hurry the speaker. Don’t rush the person talking. Hold your fire When someone just wants to talk, you don’t need to tell him or her what to do. Try to understand how the person feels and why he does so. Even if you don’t agree with his or her actions or ideas, try not to say he or she is wrong. Otherwise, your communication may end with an argument (争吵). When you “win” the argument, you may lose something far more valuable. 1   advice on being good listeners Focus on the speaker Do not do 2   during the talk.

The BBC reported that scientists from Cambridge University found sheep can recognize (识别) human faces in an experiment (实验). Before the test, scientists showed the sheep pictures of four famous people, including the US president Joe Biden and British actress Emma Watson. Then the sheep went into a room with screens. One screen showed a famous person and the other screen showed a random (随机的) person. The sheep often walked toward the screen with the famous people’s faces. After that, scientists gave them a new task. They wanted to see if the farm animals could correctly recognize the same people from different angles (角度). Though they were a bit slower to recognize the pictures than before, the animals were still able to do it. Finally, the scientists wanted to know if the sheep could recognize their trainers from a photo. Photos of their trainers were randomly shown on screens along with a number of other people’s faces, the sheep could recognize their trainers. Scientists found that the sheep’s face-recognition abilities are similar to those of monkeys and humans, according to the BBC． A Science Experiment 1 ↓ Experimenters:Scientists from Cambridge University Subjects:Sheep Aim (目的) of the experiment:To find out 2 Procedures (程序):Step 1: Show sheep 3 like Joe Biden and Emma Watson.
