The survey shows if you want to live longer and more happily, you need to have some friends who can share your sadness and happiness or can be helpful when you are in trouble. The following four types of friends are just what you need to keep the doctors away. A Loyal Best Friend Everyone needs a friend who will support you in different situations. This kind of friend knows all of your deepest and darkest secrets, but still loves you all the same. A Friendly Neighbor These days, a lot of people don’t know their own neighbors. It’s a shame, because some neighbors can be the most helpful people. If you forget to lock the front door when you are on holiday, you can call your neighbors to lock it for you. So it’s wonderful to have nice and helpful neighbors. A Workmate You’ll find it much easier to chat with someone than eating lunch alone every day. Your workmate doesn’t have to be your best friend. If you two get along well with each other, you can always start going out and having lunch with them outside of the office. A Friend from a Different Culture If everyone had a friend from a different culture, the world would be a much better place. Remember not to make friends with someone just because they’re from a different culture. Instead, keep your mind open, and if you meet someone from other places, try to learn about their customs and traditions. If you have such kinds of friends, you will surely live longer and more happily. 回答下面五个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 1. How many types of friends do we need in our life according to the passage? 2.

She was very busy because she had so many friends to spend every day with. She felt very lucky. But everything changed (改变) on National Friendship Day. On that day, at school, everyone had to give three gifts to their three best friends. Fiona enjoyed choosing three from all her friends. However, after giving three gifts, Fiona didn’t get one! Even Lily, a girl who always played with her every day, didn’t give her a gift. When she got home that night, Fiona told her mother what had happened. Her mother touched her head tenderly (温柔地) and said, “You can’t buy friends with a smile or a few good words. For most of your classmates, you’re only a playmate (玩伴). If you really want true friends, you should really care about your friends.” That night, in bed, Fiona thought about her mother’s words.

We can get a sense of satisfaction (满足) from DIY. For example, when we make drinks or foods by ourselves, we can become happy and healthy. Millions of people around the world are overweight now. To keep fit, people begin to turn to healthy ways to lose weight, such as taking exercise and having a healthy diet. Here is a kind of drink to help you. It is easy to make and tastes good. The drink includes three things—powdered cinnamon (肉桂粉), honey and water. First, take a pan and add a cup of water to it. Second, put the pan on the fire and boil (煮) the water for 2—3 minutes. Third, add a spoon of powdered cinnamon to the water and mix them together. Finally, let the mixture cool. After the mixture is cool, add some spoons of honey to it.

Make a homework plan Most middle school students have two or three hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you may need to spend even more time. It is a good idea to come up with some kind of homework schedule (进度表) , especially if you are going to do sports or other activities after school. Watch where you work A bedroom, study or any room where you can get away from noise is good for you to do your homework. But don’t study on your comfortable bed, or you might fall asleep there. Take a break Most people’s attention ( 注意力) don’t last very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive ( 多 产 的 ) than if you stop to take a break regularly. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good way for most people. Get help when you need it Sometimes even though you are listening carefully in class, some subjects seem too hard. The first person to ask for help is your teacher. He or she may be able to work with you before or after school and explain things more clearly. Your classmates may also be able to give you a hand. However, this might not give you the results you want. Lots of people understand something well but are not able to explain it. 1. Why can’t we do homework on the comfortable bed? 2. How long can we take a rest after doing an hour of homework? 3. Who can you ask for help if you find some subjects hard to learn? 4. What should you do if you have too much homework but you plan to do sports or other activities after school? 5. How do you make your homework easy? (请自拟一句话回答) Passage 6 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容回答问题（每题回答字数不超过10个词）。 Exam time is the most stressful (压力重的) period of the year. You have worked all school term on your classes and now it’s the time to prove what you have learned. With so much at stake (处于成败关头), it is easy to get stressed about your exams. However, with the right amount of hard work and focus you can pass your tests with ease! When I was in school, I used to get very stressed over my exams. So did my friends. Some people stopped eating and others ate too much! Some gave up and others burned themselves out! The most important thing to remember when studying is not to feel frightened! Take the middle path—stay calm, eat healthily and get a rest. Pushing yourself too hard is just as dangerous as not studying enough. A tired, overworked brain is just as useless as a lazy, empty one! So, what should you do? Arrange a time each day for study and a time for relaxation. You may have less time to relax than usual, but you still need to let your brain rest for a few moments and get plenty of sleep. If you are tired, information will not stick in your memory. Finally eat healthy foods that fuel your body and mind. It does no good to think too much about your exams. Some students may think that the rest of their life depends on them. That’s not true. Instead, just view the exams as another difficulty you will overcome. You have overcome all kinds of difficulties in your life so far. With the right amount of work and focus, you will pass your exams with flying colours! High school is right around the corner! 1. What is the most stressful period of the year? 2. How can we pass the tests with ease? 3. What is as dangerous as not studying enough? 4. Why should we get enough sleep during exam time? 5. How do you deal with (处理) exam stress? Passage 7 阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。（Answer the questions in no more than eight words) I often read about children living in the mountains of China. They don’t have enough learning resources, especially for English. I believe English is not just a language—it also gives people the chance to see the world differently. So I started thinking about what I could do for these children. Then, I came up with an idea: to make special English learning material! More than 10 classmates joined me, and we started a club called “Out of Mountains”. Our English materials have three parts: listening, reading and writing. We decided to publish them every month and send them to children by email. We also built a website so children could get information more easily. Each of us worked on one part, such as writing content, designing layouts, making illustrations and developing the website. To make the learning process more fun, we chose interesting topics for kids, like holidays. The hardest part was finding the children. I contacted schools in Liangshan, Sichuan. I also reached out to children through some WeChat official accounts. I felt nervous talking to them and was afraid of being turned down, but I did my best to share our ideas. In the end, we got the readers we had hoped for. Every time a parent emailed us saying, “my child really liked the story”, it gave us the strength to keep going. I hope our small acts can help give these kids a better future. 1. Why did “I” make the special English learning materials for children in mountain areas? 2. What are the three parts in the learning materials? 3. How can children get the materials? 4. What did “I” think was the hardest part? 5. What do you think of “me”? And why? Passage 8 During the break times between classes, Xiao Jingsheng from Beijing Shangdi Experimental School often went to the toilet then back to class with no time for anything else. But now that is different. “I can have more time to rest and share interesting things with my classmates,” said the 14-year-old. “Starting this autumn term, students at primary and middle schools in Beijing have a longer break between two classes, from 10 minutes to 15 minutes, so students can spend more time outside. To help children better enjoy break-time activities, some schools mixed break time with labor education by opening planting areas and animal breeding zones (饲养区). “We have welcomed new friends to our school—some ducks and rabbits!” said Zhang Boren, a 13-year-old from Beijing 101 Middle School Kuangda Campus. “During the breaks, some play with these cute animals, while others exercise on the playground. We get closer to nature, which is refreshing (令人耳目一新的) and relaxing.” As the break time is longer, making sure everyone is safe (安全的) is also important. P. E. teachers in schools keep an eye on students playing on the ground. “Sometimes the ground can be wet in the morning, so we tell the students to do more upper body exercises to avoid (避免) running and falling down,” said one P. E. teacher. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1. How long is the break time between two classes in Beijing’s schools now? 2. What did some schools do to help children better enjoy break time? 3. Who keeps an eye on students playing on the ground during the breaks? 4. Why do P. E. teachers advise students to do more upper body exercises? 5. How do you think schools can further improve break-time activities to make them more enjoyable? Give an example. Passage 9 In many Chinese cities, primary and middle schools have made class breaks longer from 10 to 15 minutes since the fall semester (学期) started. The governments (政府) want students and teachers to do more outdoor activities. Before, Chinese schools usually had 10-minute breaks. But it was not enough time for students, especially those in tall buildings, to go outside and play. Sometimes, schools didn’t let students leave the classroom during breaks because they were worried about safety. Now, local education departments (部门) are trying to make school schedules better. They want students to have at least 30 minutes of exercise every day. In Beijing, primary schools’ morning and afternoon times haven’t changed. Middle schools end five minutes later. In Wuxi, Jiangsu, schools have 15-minute breaks and one PE class every day. Students must do at least 100 minutes of exercise at school. The education officer said this helps students play outside and talk to each other. They want to give break time back to students. A Qingdao primary school has many outdoor games like jump rope and hula hoop, and indoor puzzles during 15-minute breaks. In May, a fitness test showed that 47 percent of Qingdao students got “excellent” or “good” fitness grades, 10 percent more than before. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1. Who do the governments want to do more outdoor activities? 2. Why didn’t schools let students leave the classroom during breaks before? 3. In which city do the middle schools end five minutes later? 4. How long do students in Wuxi, Jiangsu need to exercise at school? 5. What outdoor games are mentioned (提到) in a Qingdao primary school? Passage 10 If you ask any 12-year-old what their favorite time of the day is, they’ll tell you it’s lunch! But for Jason, it’s a bit different. He can’t wait to get home and start working on his candle-making business. Jason began creating candles because the candles he bought gave mom headaches. He was only eight years old at the time. He thought there must be a way to make a safe and all-natural candle. So, he set out to find a cleaner and more natural way to make a candle that his mom could enjoy. He was very interested in the process and the chemistry behind making the candles. Later, he found a kind of wax (蜡) that was chemical-free. He also found natural oils to add scent (香味). With the support of his mom, he started an online store in 2020. His online orders began picking up. In the fall of 2022, he opened a store at a local shopping centre. Now people can buy his candles both online and at the store. The store also sells soaps which are made by Vicky, Jason’s little sister. She was inspired (鼓舞) by her brother to make her own handmade products. Jason started his business to save money for his college education. But running a business is about more than making money for Jason. He also gave some money to the community. The community spent the money supporting the local homeless shelter and helping the kids who needed a little help with college. “My future goal is to help people around the world,” he says. His mother is proud of her son and loves to spend time with him as his business grows. She says it is really inspiring to see how his mind works. Jason has a big goal and an even bigger heart. With all the problems that seem to stop many of us from moving forward, Jason has chosen to find a solution that works, not only for himself, but as an inspiration to others. 1. Why did Jason begin creating candles? 2. Where can people buy Jason’s candles? 3. What’s his future goal? 4. Who supports his business? 5. What do you think of Jason? Passage 11 DIY is quite popular in the UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programmes（节目）show people how to DIY. English people like DIY. There is a saying in the UK—“An Englishman’s home is his castle”. Huge numbers of people spend their holiday making their homes beautiful “castles”. If there is anything that needs fixing around their homes, such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experience with their friends. More and more people find the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market（市场）for DIY furniture. People need to get together pieces of furniture with a few tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can’t understand the instructions. Sometimes the instructions are very simple but the furniture itself is difficult to build. One thing is for sure, though they started most DIY projects with the best ideas, they may not finish many of them. DIY can also be dangerous. But many people don’t care about this warning（广告）and put themselves in danger. DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off（咬掉）more than we can chew（咀嚼）. 根据上面短文的内容回答问题。（每小题答案不超过6个单词） 1.

Passage 12 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 In recent years, more and more elderly people in China have been building lasting friendships, which bring them joy and support in their later lives. Ms. Wang, 72 years old, lives in Beijing. She made friends with three other women—Ms. Li, Ms. Zhang, and Ms. Zhao—at a community garden five years ago. Every morning, they meet at the garden to do tai chi (太极) together. After that, they sit on a bench and chat about their daily lives—their children, their grandchildren, or interesting things they saw on TV. “Before I met them, I felt very lonely,” Ms. Wang said. “My children work in other cities, so I live alone. But now, I look forward to every morning because I know I will see my friends.” These four friends also help each other in many ways. Last year, Ms. Li fell and hurt her leg. Ms. Wang, Ms. Zhang, and Ms. Zhao took turns visiting her and bringing her meals. They also helped her clean her house and take care of her plants. “They are like my family,” Ms. Li said. “I don’t know what I would have done without them.” Another group of elderly friends in Shanghai has a different way of staying connected. They formed a “book club” three years ago. Every Saturday afternoon, they meet at a community center to read and discuss books. Most of the books they read are about Chinese history or traditional culture. “Reading together helps us learn new things, and discussing the books brings us closer,” said Mr. Chen, 78 years old. “We also share our own stories and experiences while talking about the books. It’s very interesting.” These friendships are not just fun—they also have many health benefits. Studies show that elderly people with strong friendships are less likely to feel lonely or depressed (抑郁的). They also have better physical health, because they are more active and take better care of themselves when they have friends to support them. Many communities in China are now encouraging elderly people to make friends. They organize activities like tai chi classes, book clubs, and craft (手工) workshops. These activities give elderly people a chance to meet others and build new friendships. “We want to help elderly people live happy and healthy lives,” said a community worker in Guangzhou. “Friendship is an important part of that.” 1. Where did Ms. Wang meet her three friends? 2. When was the “book club” in Shanghai formed? 3. Why do Mr. Chen and his friends read and discuss books at the community center? 4. How can the elderly get more friends? 5. What benefits do elderly people get from having strong friendships? 12 / 12 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $考前特训·期中 题型7阅读与表达 仿真模拟 考前特训（译林版2024） 2025-2026学年八年级上学期 期中满分冲刺 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 内容提要 期中仿真题 期中模拟题 Passage 1 Four types of friends you need in your life Do you know that people will die early if they have no friends during their lifetime?

Passage 5 阅读与回答问题 As you know, homework is a big part of going to school. Luckily, here are several suggestions for you to make homework easy. Make a homework plan Most middle school students have two or three hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you may need to spend even more time. It is a good idea to come up with some kind of homework schedule (进度表) , especially if you are going to do sports or other activities after school. Watch where you work A bedroom, study or any room where you can get away from noise is good for you to do your homework. But don’t study on your comfortable bed, or you might fall asleep there. Take a break Most people’s attention ( 注意力) don’t last very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework.

How long can we take a rest after doing an hour of homework? 3. Who can you ask for help if you find some subjects hard to learn? 4.

Passage 6 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容回答问题（每题回答字数不超过10个词）。 Exam time is the most stressful (压力重的) period of the year. You have worked all school term on your classes and now it’s the time to prove what you have learned. With so much at stake (处于成败关头), it is easy to get stressed about your exams. However, with the right amount of hard work and focus you can pass your tests with ease! When I was in school, I used to get very stressed over my exams. So did my friends. Some people stopped eating and others ate too much! Some gave up and others burned themselves out! The most important thing to remember when studying is not to feel frightened! Take the middle path—stay calm, eat healthily and get a rest. Pushing yourself too hard is just as dangerous as not studying enough. A tired, overworked brain is just as useless as a lazy, empty one! So, what should you do? Arrange a time each day for study and a time for relaxation. You may have less time to relax than usual, but you still need to let your brain rest for a few moments and get plenty of sleep. If you are tired, information will not stick in your memory. Finally eat healthy foods that fuel your body and mind. It does no good to think too much about your exams. Some students may think that the rest of their life depends on them. That’s not true. Instead, just view the exams as another difficulty you will overcome. You have overcome all kinds of difficulties in your life so far. With the right amount of work and focus, you will pass your exams with flying colours! High school is right around the corner! 1. What is the most stressful period of the year? 2. How can we pass the tests with ease? 3. What is as dangerous as not studying enough? 4. Why should we get enough sleep during exam time? 5. How do you deal with (处理) exam stress? 【答案】1. Exam time. 2. With the right amount of hard work and focus. 3. Pushing ourselves too hard. 4. If we are tired, information won’t stick in our memory./We need to let our brain rest. 5. I will stay calm, eat healthy and get a rest./I will arrange a time each day for study./I will get plenty of sleep. (Any reasonable answer is possible.) 【导语】本文主要讲述了考试期间不要把自己逼得太紧，而是要保持冷静、健康饮食、劳逸结合和避免考试焦虑。 1. 根据第一段中“Exam time is the most stressful (压力重的) period of the year.”可知，考试时间是一年中压力最大的时期。故填Exam time. 2. 根据第一段中“However, with the right amount of hard work and focus you can pass your tests with ease!”可知，通过适当的努力和专注就可以轻松通过考试。故填With the right amount of hard work and focus. 3. 根据第二段中“Pushing yourself too hard is just as dangerous as not studying enough.”可知，把自己逼得太紧和学习不够一样危险。故填Pushing ourselves too hard. 4. 根据第三段中“but you still need to let your brain rest for a few moments and get plenty of sleep. If you are tired, information will not stick in your memory.”可知，考试期间保证充足的睡眠是因为大脑需要休息，如果自己累了，信息就不会留在记忆中。故填If we are tired, information won’t stick in our memory./We need to let our brain rest. 5. 开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。参考答案为I will stay calm, eat healthy and get a rest./I will arrange a time each day for study./I will get plenty of sleep. Passage 7 阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。（Answer the questions in no more than eight words) I often read about children living in the mountains of China. They don’t have enough learning resources, especially for English. I believe English is not just a language—it also gives people the chance to see the world differently. So I started thinking about what I could do for these children. Then, I came up with an idea: to make special English learning material! More than 10 classmates joined me, and we started a club called “Out of Mountains”. Our English materials have three parts: listening, reading and writing. We decided to publish them every month and send them to children by email. We also built a website so children could get information more easily. Each of us worked on one part, such as writing content, designing layouts, making illustrations and developing the website. To make the learning process more fun, we chose interesting topics for kids, like holidays. The hardest part was finding the children. I contacted schools in Liangshan, Sichuan. I also reached out to children through some WeChat official accounts. I felt nervous talking to them and was afraid of being turned down, but I did my best to share our ideas. In the end, we got the readers we had hoped for. Every time a parent emailed us saying, “my child really liked the story”, it gave us the strength to keep going. I hope our small acts can help give these kids a better future. 1. Why did “I” make the special English learning materials for children in mountain areas? 2. What are the three parts in the learning materials? 3. How can children get the materials? 4. What did “I” think was the hardest part? 5. What do you think of “me”? And why? 【答案】1.

Passage 8 During the break times between classes, Xiao Jingsheng from Beijing Shangdi Experimental School often went to the toilet then back to class with no time for anything else. But now that is different. “I can have more time to rest and share interesting things with my classmates,” said the 14-year-old. “Starting this autumn term, students at primary and middle schools in Beijing have a longer break between two classes, from 10 minutes to 15 minutes, so students can spend more time outside. To help children better enjoy break-time activities, some schools mixed break time with labor education by opening planting areas and animal breeding zones (饲养区). “We have welcomed new friends to our school—some ducks and rabbits!” said Zhang Boren, a 13-year-old from Beijing 101 Middle School Kuangda Campus. “During the breaks, some play with these cute animals, while others exercise on the playground. We get closer to nature, which is refreshing (令人耳目一新的) and relaxing.” As the break time is longer, making sure everyone is safe (安全的) is also important. P. E. teachers in schools keep an eye on students playing on the ground. “Sometimes the ground can be wet in the morning, so we tell the students to do more upper body exercises to avoid (避免) running and falling down,” said one P. E. teacher. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1. How long is the break time between two classes in Beijing’s schools now? 2. What did some schools do to help children better enjoy break time? 3.

Passage 9 In many Chinese cities, primary and middle schools have made class breaks longer from 10 to 15 minutes since the fall semester (学期) started. The governments (政府) want students and teachers to do more outdoor activities. Before, Chinese schools usually had 10-minute breaks. But it was not enough time for students, especially those in tall buildings, to go outside and play. Sometimes, schools didn’t let students leave the classroom during breaks because they were worried about safety. Now, local education departments (部门) are trying to make school schedules better. They want students to have at least 30 minutes of exercise every day. In Beijing, primary schools’ morning and afternoon times haven’t changed. Middle schools end five minutes later. In Wuxi, Jiangsu, schools have 15-minute breaks and one PE class every day. Students must do at least 100 minutes of exercise at school. The education officer said this helps students play outside and talk to each other. They want to give break time back to students. A Qingdao primary school has many outdoor games like jump rope and hula hoop, and indoor puzzles during 15-minute breaks.

Passage 10 If you ask any 12-year-old what their favorite time of the day is, they’ll tell you it’s lunch! But for Jason, it’s a bit different.

Ms. Wang, 72 years old, lives in Beijing. She made friends with three other women—Ms. Li, Ms. Zhang, and Ms. Zhao—at a community garden five years ago. Every morning, they meet at the garden to do tai chi (太极) together. After that, they sit on a bench and chat about their daily lives—their children, their grandchildren, or interesting things they saw on TV. “Before I met them, I felt very lonely,” Ms. Wang said. “My children work in other cities, so I live alone. But now, I look forward to every morning because I know I will see my friends.” These four friends also help each other in many ways. Last year, Ms. Li fell and hurt her leg. Ms. Wang, Ms. Zhang, and Ms. Zhao took turns visiting her and bringing her meals. They also helped her clean her house and take care of her plants. “They are like my family,” Ms. Li said. “I don’t know what I would have done without them.” Another group of elderly friends in Shanghai has a different way of staying connected. They formed a “book club” three years ago. Every Saturday afternoon, they meet at a community center to read and discuss books. Most of the books they read are about Chinese history or traditional culture. “Reading together helps us learn new things, and discussing the books brings us closer,” said Mr. Chen, 78 years old. “We also share our own stories and experiences while talking about the books. It’s very interesting.” These friendships are not just fun—they also have many health benefits. Studies show that elderly people with strong friendships are less likely to feel lonely or depressed (抑郁的). They also have better physical health, because they are more active and take better care of themselves when they have friends to support them. Many communities in China are now encouraging elderly people to make friends. They organize activities like tai chi classes, book clubs, and craft (手工) workshops. These activities give elderly people a chance to meet others and build new friendships. “We want to help elderly people live happy and healthy lives,” said a community worker in Guangzhou. “Friendship is an important part of that.” 1.
