But today wild animals are facing serious problems because of humans. Many animals are losing their homes as forests are cut down. What’s worse, people kill wild animals for their fur or bones. So many wild animals are in danger. We need to protect wild animals because they are important to nature. They help keep the environment healthy. Without animals, our world would be out of balance. As students, we can do a lot to help. First, we can learn and tell others about animal protection. Second, we should avoid buying products made from animals. Finally, we can save energy and reduce waste to keep the environment clean. Let’s act together to make a more beautiful home for us humans and animals as well. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年八年级上册英语单元测试（苏州专用） Unit 5·培优卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：100分钟，满分：100分） 第一部分 完形填空 （共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Arrowhead, a female tiger, is 1 to animal lovers in India.

When she was young, she always got sick and needed more love 2 her mother. Once, when crossing a lake full of crocodiles (鳄鱼) to search for food, her mother carried her across the lake safely, but 3 her big sister was caught and eaten by a crocodile. Day by day, Arrowhead grew 4 . At the age of 3, she took over the area by the lake and became the queen of the forest because of her amazing ability to hunt crocodiles. She 5 them so deeply that she spent her whole life hunting and killing them. She was brave enough to jump into the water and kill the crocodiles quickly with 6 teeth. In her later years, Arrowhead got bone cancer (骨癌). She lost a lot of weight and sometimes she even found it difficult to walk. However, with a strong 7 , she didn’t leave her three children until they could hunt on their own. Her health became worse later. 8 she was weak and thin, she still succeeded in hunting a large crocodile alone—not for food, but for anger. Near the 9 of her life, she visited her daughter’s family.

Children around the world get their education in different ways. During rainy seasons, Bangladesh often has many floods. Then many schools have to close and students can’t go to school. Luckily, there is a group named Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha to help. It began to run boat schools in 2002, and over 70,000 children have got their education on boats. The group has around 100 boats and each one has a small library and a computer. Each year more than 4,000 of India’s poorest children get their education on the platforms (站台) of the country’s train stations. The idea for the Train Platform School came from a teacher called Inderjit Khurana. She took the train to work each morning, and she often saw some children begging (乞讨) on the train. Then she decided to do something for them. In 1985, she set up the first Train Platform School and later more came out. The schools use music and drama to teach the children how to read and write. When the children are ready, they can transfer to a full-time school. There, they will go on with further education. You won’t find any books at the West Philadelphia School of the Future in the US. Instead, all students have their own computers and learn on special apps. Teachers don’t use traditional whiteboards—they use Smart Boards. When the school opened in 2006, both the teachers and the students found it difficult. However, these days students love it and they do well in maths and reading. The school is very popular with parents. 14．When describing the group Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha, the writer ________ . A．tells a story B．gives some numbers and facts C．uses some examples D．talks about his experience 15．What does the underlined phrase “transfer to” mean in Chinese? A．放弃 B．参观 C．转到 D．换乘 16．Which sentence is true according to the passage? A．In boat schools, each student has a small library and a computer. B．The West Philadelphia School of the Future was popular when it first opened. C．Inderjit Khurana built the first Train Platform School in 1985. D．In the Train Platform Schools, children can go on to further education by learning drama. 17．What is the passage mainly about? A．Different ways of teaching. B．The value of education. C．The use of computers in teaching. D．Some unusual schools around the world. 【答案】14．B 15．C 16．C 17．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了世界各地一些不同寻常的学校和教育方式。 14．细节理解题。根据“It began to run boat schools in 2002, and over 70,000 children have got their education on boats. The group has around 100 boats and each one has a small library and a computer.”可知，作者在描述Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha这个组织时，给出了具体的数字和事实，如运行船校的时间、受益儿童的数量、船的数量以及每艘船的设施等。故选B。 15．词句猜测题。根据“When the children are ready, they can transfer to a full-time school. There, they will go on with further education.”可知，当孩子们准备好时，他们可以转到全日制学校继续接受进一步的教育。因此，“transfer to”在这里的意思是“转到”。故选C。 16．细节理解题。根据“The idea for the Train Platform School came from a teacher called Inderjit Khurana. ... In 1985, she set up the first Train Platform School and later more came out.”可知，Inderjit Khurana在1985年建立了第一所火车站台学校，这个叙述与原文内容相符。故选C。 17．主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了世界上一些不同寻常的学校，并描述了这些学校的特殊之处和运行方式。故选D。 C Chinese ancient wisdom puts the year into 24 solar terms (节气). Cold Dew (露水) is the 17th solar term of the year. It starts this year on Oct 8 and ends on Oct 23. At this time, the weather gets colder in most parts of China. The dew is greater and colder. That’s why this time is called Cold Dew. There will be less rain, but there will be some fog. Good things come along at this time, too. Autumn crops (农作物) will be ripe (成熟). It’s also a good time for fishing. That’s because it’s colder in water during the cold dew time. Fish like to swim in shallow water where it is warmer. Hiking is another popular activity during this time. North China takes on a beautiful look of late autumn with white clouds, red leaves, and early frost (霜). Chongyang Festival, also known as the Double Ninth Festival, often falls around cold dew. It is the ninth day of the ninth month in the Chinese calendar. On this day, people often climb hills and wear cornels (茱萸). Food during Cold Dew Pomegranates Pomegranates are ripe during cold dew. Chinese people think that pomegranates mean many children and many good wishes. They also taste good, have a nice color, and are healthy. Hawthorns山楂 There is a saying that goes “It is time to harvest hawthorn during cold dew.” For a long time, people have used hawthorns in herbal medicine (草药). They think it’s good for blood flow and heart health. Chrysanthemum wine菊花酒 Chrysanthemum is the seasonal flower of cold dew. To stop autumn dryness, people in many parts of China drink the chrysanthemum wine. This is also a tradition of the Double Ninth Festival. 18．How long does Cold Dew last this year? A．16 days. B．20 days. C．23 days. D．30 days. 19．Why is it called Cold Dew? A．Because the autumn crops are ripe. B．Because there will be more rain but some fog in autumn. C．Because the weather gets colder, the dew is greater and colder. D．Because there are white clouds and red leaves in North China. 20．According to the passage, which of the following statements is Not True? A．Pomegranates stand for many children and many good wishes. B．Using Hawthorns in medicine is good for blood flow and heart health. C．People usually go fishing and hiking during Cold Dew. D．People drink Chrysanthemum wine to get warm in autumn. 21．In which part of a magazine can you read this passage? A．Health B．Culture C．Science D．Education 【答案】18．A 19．C 20．D 21．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了寒露这个节气的时间、天气特点、寒露期间的活动、寒露期间的食物等相关信息。 18．细节理解题。根据“It starts this year on Oct 8 and ends on Oct 23.”可知，寒露从今年10月8日开始，到10月23日结束，一共持续16天。故选A。 19．细节理解题。根据“At this time, the weather gets colder in most parts of China. The dew is greater and colder. That’s why this time is called Cold Dew.”可知，此时中国大部分地区天气变冷，露水更多且更冷，这就是为什么这个时节被称为寒露。所以它被称为寒露是因为天气变冷，露水更多更冷。故选C。 20．细节理解题。根据“To stop autumn dryness, people in many parts of China drink the chrysanthemum wine.”可知，中国人喝菊花酒是为了防止秋燥，而不是为了在秋天取暖。故选D。 21．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文围绕寒露这一中国传统文化节气，介绍其多方面文化相关内容来看，最有可能在杂志的文化板块。故选B 。   D “I have something important to read to you!” Ava told her parents. “In school, we’ve been working on persuasive essays (议论文). My teacher said that in order to make people accept your idea, you have to have reasons and evidence (证据). My essay is called Why I Am Responsible and Ready for a Cell Phone.” It had been a problem for months. Ava’s parents told her she couldn’t have a cell phone until she was thirteen. “A cell phone isn’t all fun and games,” they would say. “And, it is too big a responsibility for you to have one right now.” But then, a week ago, Ava started working on writing persuasive essays at school. It was like lightning had gone off in Ava’s brain. She’d worked on her essay for a week, coming up with all the reasons why she should have a cell phone. She even looked up some facts to help as supporting evidence. Forty percent (百分比) of children in her age group have been introduced to cell phones. Fifty-three percent of parents in the country think it’s acceptable for a child to own a cell phone at her age. “Well, Ava, that does make sense,” her dad said. “We’ll talk it over.” Ava wanted to jump up and down. But she was trying to show she was mature (成熟的) enough for a cell phone. So, she just smiled, nodded, and waited. After a full week, her mom said, “Alright Ava, we are impressed by how much work you put into that essay and how mature you have become. So, you can have a cell phone.” “Really?” Ava cried out. She couldn’t wait to show her friends and join their chat group. She spent a good hour that first night texting with them, discussing their weekend plan. On the weekend, Ava went to see a movie with her friends. It was not until Ava got home that she realized something was seriously wrong. Her phone was gone. “Did you talk to the theater manager? Maybe someone turned it in!” her mom said. Ava breathed in. “I didn’t…” In the end, her parents drove her back to the theater. Luckily, the phone was in the lost-and-found box. Ava thought that maybe she wasn’t ready to have a phone just yet. 22．Why did Ava tell her parents about her essay? A．To share her schoolwork achievements. B．To persuade them to give her a phone. C．To prove her writing skills. D．To discuss responsibility. 23．Why didn’t Ava’s parents allow her to have a cell phone at first? A．They thought she wasn’t ready for the responsibility. B．They wanted her to focus only on schoolwork. C．They believed phones were too expensive. D．They felt phones were harmful to health. 24．How did Ava react when her parents said “we’ll talk it over”? A．She argued angrily. B．She cried excitedly. C．She smiled calmly. D．She left immediately. 25．Which is the best title for this passage? A．Two Sides of the Same Coin B．One without the Other C．How Persuasion Works D．When Parents Listen 【答案】22．B 23．A 24．C 25．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了Ava写议论文说服父母得到手机，却因弄丢手机反思自己或许还没准备好拥有手机的故事。 22．细节理解题。根据文章内容，Ava一直希望能有一部手机，而她写的议论文《Why I Am Responsible and Ready for a Cell Phone》就是为了用理由和证据来说服父母，让他们同意给自己买手机，并非单纯分享学业成果、证明写作技巧或讨论责任本身。故选B。 23．细节理解题。根据“A cell phone isn’t all fun and games,” they would say. “And, it is too big a responsibility for you to have one right now.”可知，父母最初不让Ava有手机是觉得她还没准备好承担这份责任，文中没有提到希望她只专注学业、认为手机太贵或对健康有害这些原因。故选A。 24．细节理解题。根据“Ava wanted to jump up and down. But she was trying to show she was mature enough for a cell phone. So, she just smiled, nodded, and waited.”可知，当父母说要再商量时，Ava为了表现成熟，平静地微笑、点头并等待，并非生气争论、激动哭泣或立刻离开。故选C。 25．主旨大意题。Ava通过论文成功地证明了她在“道理上”已经成熟（拥有说服的能力和逻辑），并因此获得了手机。然而，她随后丢失手机的行为，却在“行动上”证明了她在实际责任感上的欠缺。One without the Other“缺一不可”完美地概括了故事的核心矛盾与主题。故选B。 第三部分 信息还原（共5小题：每小题1分，满分5分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life.

No one thinks you must do everything well.”可知，不要把小问题变得太大太重要，你还年轻，没有人认为你必须把每件事都要做好，因此空处应是建议寻求帮助，选项G“不要忘记寻求帮助。”符合语境。故选G。 第四部分 词汇运用（共13小题；每小题1分，满分13分） 第一节根据下列句子所给汉语注释或首字母，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式，每空限填一词。 31．Thanks to the (政府), we are living a happier life. 【答案】government 【详解】句意：多亏了政府，我们过着更快乐的生活。根据汉语提示可知，government意为“政府”。故填government。 32．We usually pay no attention to this kind of (极小的) worms. 【答案】tiny 【详解】句意：我们通常不会注意这种小虫子。“极小的”的英文表达是tiny，形容词。故填tiny。 33．The audience (主要地) consists of young people. 【答案】mainly 【详解】句意：观众主要由年轻人构成。根据“The audience”和“consists of young people”可知，这里需要一个副词修饰动词consists，表示“主要地”；结合中文提示，mainly表示“主要地”符合语境，能体现观众构成的主体人群。故填mainly。 34．We should try our best to i the number of wild animals. 【答案】(i)ncrease 【详解】句意：我们应该尽力去增加野生动物的数量。根据首字母提示和上下文，此处表示尽力去增加野生动物的数量。动词increase意为“增加”符合语境，且try one’s best to后跟动词原形。故填(i)ncrease。 35．The heavy rain caused a terrible d in the small village, destroying many houses. 【答案】(d)isaster 【详解】句意：暴雨在小村庄造成了一场可怕的灾难，摧毁了许多房屋。根据“destroying houses”的提示，暴雨引发的严重后果应为灾难，disaster“灾难”，a后接名词单数。故填(d)isaster。 36．The air quality is very poor because of heavy p . 【答案】(p)ollution 【详解】句意：空气质量非常差，因为有严重的污染。根据首字母提示和“The air quality is very poor because of heavy …”可知，此处表示空气质量非常差，因为有严重的污染；pollution“污染”是不可数名词，符合空气质量质量差的语义。故填(p)ollution。 37．The largest animal in the ocean (海洋) is a kind of huge sea creature.

Danny Edwards, the team’s “water boy”, was being bullied at school. Danny has had a speech disorder (语言障碍) since his birth. When he grew up, kids made fun of him for the way he talked and the way he dressed. Each day, Danny went to school in a favourite suit, tie and hat. Danny didn’t think it was a big deal. “I...just feel...all...comfortable in it,” he said. Jimmy was upset when he found out Danny was being bullied. “I thought to myself, no one should be picked on for the way he looks or speaks.” said Jimmy. So Jimmy decided to wear the same suit and hat to school, too. “I did it to stand up for Danny and show him that bullying is not right. I wanted him to feel happy and safe and know that anywhere he goes he’ll be treated fairly by his friends,” Jimmy said. “I knew Danny would like it. I told my mum that I didn’t care what people thought about me in school because I was doing it for Danny.” When Jimmy told the other boys on the team what he was planning, they wanted to be part of it, too. So they planned a “Danny Edwards Appreciation Day (感恩日)”. They decided that on a special day, instead of wearing football jerseys (球衣), they would dress like Danny. Word spread about the special day, and other kids in school decided to show their support, too. On the planned day, they all dressed in suits and ties and met in the school library where they cheered, stomped (跺脚) their feet, and chanted “Danny! Danny! Danny!”. “I was... really... really happy, and it made... my... day,” said Danny. 54．What made the kids at school make fun of Danny Edwards? 55．Why did Jimmy want to help Danny? 56．What do you think of Jimmy and the other boys’ plan for Danny? What will you do if you are bullied? 【答案】54．Danny’s speech disorder and the way he dressed. 55．Because Jimmy thought no one should be picked on for the way they look or speak, and he wanted to make Danny feel happy, safe and fairly treated. 56．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：Their plan is warm and helpful, as it shows support for Danny and stops bullying. If I am bullied, I will tell my teachers or parents about it and ask for help. 【导语】本文主要讲述了十四岁的吉米·库珀和其他少年足球队的男孩们如何对抗欺凌，帮助有语言障碍且穿着独特的丹尼·爱德华兹，并为他策划了一场感恩日活动。 54．根据第1段“Danny has had a speech disorder since his birth. When he grew up, kids made fun of him for the way he talked and the way he dressed.”可知，丹尼从出生起就有语言障碍，而且他长大后，孩子们取笑他说话的方式和穿着的方式。故填Danny’s speech disorder and the way he dressed. 55．根据第2段“I thought to myself, no one should be picked on for the way he looks or speaks.”和“I wanted him to feel happy and safe and know that anywhere he goes he’ll be treated fairly by his friends,”可知，吉米想帮助丹尼是因为他认为没有人应该因为外表或说话方式而受到欺负，他希望丹尼感到快乐和安全，并知道无论走到哪里，他都会受到朋友的公平对待。故填Because Jimmy thought no one should be picked on for the way they look or speak, and he wanted to make Danny feel happy, safe and fairly treated. 56．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：Their plan is warm and helpful, as it shows support for Danny and stops bullying.

B In some parts of the world, it’s easy for kids to go to school, but in other places, there are many problems that make it hard for kids to get a good education. Children around the world get their education in different ways. During rainy seasons, Bangladesh often has many floods. Then many schools have to close and students can’t go to school. Luckily, there is a group named Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha to help. It began to run boat schools in 2002, and over 70,000 children have got their education on boats. The group has around 100 boats and each one has a small library and a computer. Each year more than 4,000 of India’s poorest children get their education on the platforms (站台) of the country’s train stations. The idea for the Train Platform School came from a teacher called Inderjit Khurana. She took the train to work each morning, and she often saw some children begging (乞讨) on the train. Then she decided to do something for them. In 1985, she set up the first Train Platform School and later more came out. The schools use music and drama to teach the children how to read and write. When the children are ready, they can transfer to a full-time school. There, they will go on with further education. You won’t find any books at the West Philadelphia School of the Future in the US. Instead, all students have their own computers and learn on special apps. Teachers don’t use traditional whiteboards—they use Smart Boards. When the school opened in 2006, both the teachers and the students found it difficult. However, these days students love it and they do well in maths and reading. The school is very popular with parents. 14．When describing the group Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha, the writer ________ .

D．In the Train Platform Schools, children can go on to further education by learning drama. 17．What is the passage mainly about? A．Different ways of teaching. B．The value of education. C．The use of computers in teaching. D．Some unusual schools around the world. C Chinese ancient wisdom puts the year into 24 solar terms (节气). Cold Dew (露水) is the 17th solar term of the year. It starts this year on Oct 8 and ends on Oct 23. At this time, the weather gets colder in most parts of China. The dew is greater and colder. That’s why this time is called Cold Dew. There will be less rain, but there will be some fog. Good things come along at this time, too. Autumn crops (农作物) will be ripe (成熟). It’s also a good time for fishing. That’s because it’s colder in water during the cold dew time. Fish like to swim in shallow water where it is warmer. Hiking is another popular activity during this time. North China takes on a beautiful look of late autumn with white clouds, red leaves, and early frost (霜). Chongyang Festival, also known as the Double Ninth Festival, often falls around cold dew. It is the ninth day of the ninth month in the Chinese calendar. On this day, people often climb hills and wear cornels (茱萸). Food during Cold Dew Pomegranates Pomegranates are ripe during cold dew. Chinese people think that pomegranates mean many children and many good wishes. They also taste good, have a nice color, and are healthy. Hawthorns山楂 There is a saying that goes “It is time to harvest hawthorn during cold dew.” For a long time, people have used hawthorns in herbal medicine (草药). They think it’s good for blood flow and heart health. Chrysanthemum wine菊花酒 Chrysanthemum is the seasonal flower of cold dew. To stop autumn dryness, people in many parts of China drink the chrysanthemum wine. This is also a tradition of the Double Ninth Festival. 18．How long does Cold Dew last this year? A．16 days. B．20 days. C．23 days. D．30 days. 19．Why is it called Cold Dew? A．Because the autumn crops are ripe. B．Because there will be more rain but some fog in autumn. C．Because the weather gets colder, the dew is greater and colder. D．Because there are white clouds and red leaves in North China. 20．According to the passage, which of the following statements is Not True? A．Pomegranates stand for many children and many good wishes. B．Using Hawthorns in medicine is good for blood flow and heart health. C．People usually go fishing and hiking during Cold Dew. D．People drink Chrysanthemum wine to get warm in autumn. 21．In which part of a magazine can you read this passage? A．Health B．Culture C．Science D．Education D “I have something important to read to you!” Ava told her parents. “In school, we’ve been working on persuasive essays (议论文). My teacher said that in order to make people accept your idea, you have to have reasons and evidence (证据). My essay is called Why I Am Responsible and Ready for a Cell Phone.” It had been a problem for months. Ava’s parents told her she couldn’t have a cell phone until she was thirteen. “A cell phone isn’t all fun and games,” they would say. “And, it is too big a responsibility for you to have one right now.” But then, a week ago, Ava started working on writing persuasive essays at school. It was like lightning had gone off in Ava’s brain. She’d worked on her essay for a week, coming up with all the reasons why she should have a cell phone. She even looked up some facts to help as supporting evidence. Forty percent (百分比) of children in her age group have been introduced to cell phones. Fifty-three percent of parents in the country think it’s acceptable for a child to own a cell phone at her age. “Well, Ava, that does make sense,” her dad said. “We’ll talk it over.” Ava wanted to jump up and down. But she was trying to show she was mature (成熟的) enough for a cell phone. So, she just smiled, nodded, and waited. After a full week, her mom said, “Alright Ava, we are impressed by how much work you put into that essay and how mature you have become. So, you can have a cell phone.” “Really?” Ava cried out. She couldn’t wait to show her friends and join their chat group. She spent a good hour that first night texting with them, discussing their weekend plan. On the weekend, Ava went to see a movie with her friends. It was not until Ava got home that she realized something was seriously wrong. Her phone was gone. “Did you talk to the theater manager? Maybe someone turned it in!” her mom said. Ava breathed in. “I didn’t…” In the end, her parents drove her back to the theater. Luckily, the phone was in the lost-and-found box. Ava thought that maybe she wasn’t ready to have a phone just yet. 22．Why did Ava tell her parents about her essay? A．To share her schoolwork achievements. B．To persuade them to give her a phone. C．To prove her writing skills. D．To discuss responsibility. 23．Why didn’t Ava’s parents allow her to have a cell phone at first? A．They thought she wasn’t ready for the responsibility. B．They wanted her to focus only on schoolwork. C．They believed phones were too expensive. D．They felt phones were harmful to health. 24．How did Ava react when her parents said “we’ll talk it over”?

B In some parts of the world, it’s easy for kids to go to school, but in other places, there are many problems that make it hard for kids to get a good education. Children around the world get their education in different ways. During rainy seasons, Bangladesh often has many floods. Then many schools have to close and students can’t go to school. Luckily, there is a group named Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha to help. It began to run boat schools in 2002, and over 70,000 children have got their education on boats. The group has around 100 boats and each one has a small library and a computer. Each year more than 4,000 of India’s poorest children get their education on the platforms (站台) of the country’s train stations. The idea for the Train Platform School came from a teacher called Inderjit Khurana. She took the train to work each morning, and she often saw some children begging (乞讨) on the train. Then she decided to do something for them. In 1985, she set up the first Train Platform School and later more came out. The schools use music and drama to teach the children how to read and write. When the children are ready, they can transfer to a full-time school. There, they will go on with further education. You won’t find any books at the West Philadelphia School of the Future in the US. Instead, all students have their own computers and learn on special apps. Teachers don’t use traditional whiteboards—they use Smart Boards. When the school opened in 2006, both the teachers and the students found it difficult. However, these days students love it and they do well in maths and reading. The school is very popular with parents. 14．When describing the group Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha, the writer ________ . A．tells a story B．gives some numbers and facts C．uses some examples D．talks about his experience 15．What does the underlined phrase “transfer to” mean in Chinese?

D．In the Train Platform Schools, children can go on to further education by learning drama. 17．What is the passage mainly about? A．Different ways of teaching. B．The value of education. C．The use of computers in teaching. D．Some unusual schools around the world. C Chinese ancient wisdom puts the year into 24 solar terms (节气). Cold Dew (露水) is the 17th solar term of the year. It starts this year on Oct 8 and ends on Oct 23. At this time, the weather gets colder in most parts of China. The dew is greater and colder. That’s why this time is called Cold Dew. There will be less rain, but there will be some fog. Good things come along at this time, too. Autumn crops (农作物) will be ripe (成熟). It’s also a good time for fishing. That’s because it’s colder in water during the cold dew time. Fish like to swim in shallow water where it is warmer. Hiking is another popular activity during this time. North China takes on a beautiful look of late autumn with white clouds, red leaves, and early frost (霜). Chongyang Festival, also known as the Double Ninth Festival, often falls around cold dew. It is the ninth day of the ninth month in the Chinese calendar. On this day, people often climb hills and wear cornels (茱萸). Food during Cold Dew Pomegranates Pomegranates are ripe during cold dew. Chinese people think that pomegranates mean many children and many good wishes. They also taste good, have a nice color, and are healthy. Hawthorns山楂 There is a saying that goes “It is time to harvest hawthorn during cold dew.” For a long time, people have used hawthorns in herbal medicine (草药). They think it’s good for blood flow and heart health. Chrysanthemum wine菊花酒 Chrysanthemum is the seasonal flower of cold dew. To stop autumn dryness, people in many parts of China drink the chrysanthemum wine. This is also a tradition of the Double Ninth Festival. 18．How long does Cold Dew last this year? A．16 days. B．20 days. C．23 days. D．30 days. 19．Why is it called Cold Dew? A．Because the autumn crops are ripe. B．Because there will be more rain but some fog in autumn. C．Because the weather gets colder, the dew is greater and colder. D．Because there are white clouds and red leaves in North China. 20．According to the passage, which of the following statements is Not True? A．Pomegranates stand for many children and many good wishes. B．Using Hawthorns in medicine is good for blood flow and heart health. C．People usually go fishing and hiking during Cold Dew. D．People drink Chrysanthemum wine to get warm in autumn. 21．In which part of a magazine can you read this passage? A．Health B．Culture C．Science D．Education D “I have something important to read to you!” Ava told her parents. “In school, we’ve been working on persuasive essays (议论文). My teacher said that in order to make people accept your idea, you have to have reasons and evidence (证据). My essay is called Why I Am Responsible and Ready for a Cell Phone.” It had been a problem for months. Ava’s parents told her she couldn’t have a cell phone until she was thirteen. “A cell phone isn’t all fun and games,” they would say. “And, it is too big a responsibility for you to have one right now.” But then, a week ago, Ava started working on writing persuasive essays at school. It was like lightning had gone off in Ava’s brain. She’d worked on her essay for a week, coming up with all the reasons why she should have a cell phone. She even looked up some facts to help as supporting evidence. Forty percent (百分比) of children in her age group have been introduced to cell phones. Fifty-three percent of parents in the country think it’s acceptable for a child to own a cell phone at her age. “Well, Ava, that does make sense,” her dad said. “We’ll talk it over.” Ava wanted to jump up and down. But she was trying to show she was mature (成熟的) enough for a cell phone. So, she just smiled, nodded, and waited. After a full week, her mom said, “Alright Ava, we are impressed by how much work you put into that essay and how mature you have become. So, you can have a cell phone.” “Really?” Ava cried out. She couldn’t wait to show her friends and join their chat group. She spent a good hour that first night texting with them, discussing their weekend plan. On the weekend, Ava went to see a movie with her friends. It was not until Ava got home that she realized something was seriously wrong. Her phone was gone. “Did you talk to the theater manager? Maybe someone turned it in!” her mom said. Ava breathed in. “I didn’t…” In the end, her parents drove her back to the theater. Luckily, the phone was in the lost-and-found box. Ava thought that maybe she wasn’t ready to have a phone just yet. 22．Why did Ava tell her parents about her essay? A．To share her schoolwork achievements. B．To persuade them to give her a phone.

B．They wanted her to focus only on schoolwork. C．They believed phones were too expensive. D．They felt phones were harmful to health. 24．How did Ava react when her parents said “we’ll talk it over”?

Danny Edwards, the team’s “water boy”, was being bullied at school. Danny has had a speech disorder (语言障碍) since his birth. When he grew up, kids made fun of him for the way he talked and the way he dressed. Each day, Danny went to school in a favourite suit, tie and hat. Danny didn’t think it was a big deal. “I...just feel...all...comfortable in it,” he said. Jimmy was upset when he found out Danny was being bullied. “I thought to myself, no one should be picked on for the way he looks or speaks.” said Jimmy. So Jimmy decided to wear the same suit and hat to school, too. “I did it to stand up for Danny and show him that bullying is not right. I wanted him to feel happy and safe and know that anywhere he goes he’ll be treated fairly by his friends,” Jimmy said. “I knew Danny would like it. I told my mum that I didn’t care what people thought about me in school because I was doing it for Danny.” When Jimmy told the other boys on the team what he was planning, they wanted to be part of it, too. So they planned a “Danny Edwards Appreciation Day (感恩日)”. They decided that on a special day, instead of wearing football jerseys (球衣), they would dress like Danny. Word spread about the special day, and other kids in school decided to show their support, too. On the planned day, they all dressed in suits and ties and met in the school library where they cheered, stomped (跺脚) their feet, and chanted “Danny! Danny! Danny!”. “I was... really... really happy, and it made... my... day,” said Danny. 54．What made the kids at school make fun of Danny Edwards? 55．Why did Jimmy want to help Danny? 56．What do you think of Jimmy and the other boys’ plan for Danny?
