专题05 阅读理解（议论文） 主题01 人与社会——科学与技术 Passage 1 （24-25八年级上·广州市荔湾区中学·期末） Many people are embracing (拥抱) artificial intelligence (AI). Tools such as ChatGPT use AI to produce text quickly. Some people find that helpful for school or work. Other AI tools create images or chatbots. But AI isn’t always accurate or reliable. And it comes with risks, especially if used irresponsibly. We asked some students if they think AI is good for society. They made strong points on both sides of the issue. Here are three of their answers. Where do you stand? Rime Lee, 10, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada I believe AI can help in many areas. These include healthcare, education, robotics, and more. Some people might think students could use AI to get answers without putting in any effort. But AI doesn’t just give students the answers. It can help them solve problems step by step. That’s a great way to learn. Maren Altrup, 10, Springfield, Missouri AI can be good for society in some ways, but it could also go wrong. With AI, it can be hard to know what is real and what is made-up. And students could cheat on their homework. This would not be good, because teachers would not know if students were struggling. Students could stop thinking for themselves and depend too much on AI. Thomas McGibbon, 9, Pelham, New York Artificial intelligence is good for society. Without it, some helpful websites wouldn’t exist. It’s also good because you might have a question but your parents don’t know the answer. Then you can ask AI. I know students can use artificial intelligence to cheat on tests or on their homework. But a lot of schools are able to block (屏蔽) those websites so that students can’t cheat. 1．What can people use AI tools to do? ①produce text        ②create images ③kill chatbots        ④help with study or work A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 2．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．AI tools. B．Students. C．Answers. D．Problems. 3．What’s the best title of the passage? A．AI can help in many areas. B．AI can be good for society. C．AI opens up new opportunities. D．Is artificial intelligence good for society? 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。围绕“人工智能是否对社会有益”展开讨论，呈现了三位学生从不同角度的观点。 1．细节理解题。根据“Tools such as ChatGPT use AI to produce text quickly. Some people find that helpful for school or work. Other AI tools create images or chatbots.”可知，人们能使用人工智能生成文本、生成图像以及辅助学习或工作，即能做到①②④。故选B。 2．词义猜测题。根据“But AI doesn’t just give students the answers.”可知，人工智能还能帮助学生逐步解决问题。“them”指代的是前面提到的“students”。故选B。 3．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文就人工智能对社会是否有好处这一讨论进行了介绍。选项D“人工智能对社会有益吗？”最适合当标题。故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25八年级上·揭阳第一中学·期末） Last year, 20 students in London learned maths through AI instead of human teachers. There was no robot at the front of the classroom, just AI programs on students’ computers. Some people think using AI to teach students is a step too far and that students need human interaction (互动) in their lessons. What do you think? ▲ Yes—AI can improve learning AI can work out difficult problems very quickly. It can find gaps (空白) in a child’s learning and fill them. AI teachers can pay attention to each student and help them with subjects they find difficult. In fact, it is hard for human teachers to do so in a big class. Besides, AI has already been used to improve online learning and it has already been used in schools to support teachers with things like lesson plans. Also, the UK lacks middle school teachers, especially for subjects like computers and languages. Why not let AI teachers fill the gap? No—students will lose out (吃亏，失败) A human teacher has a lot of knowledge, experience and ideas, while AI is only as good as the information it learns. Also, how well can AI teach creative subjects such as art and drama, which encourage students to come up with new ideas? In 2023, the UK Government said AI could not take the place of (代替) the relationship that teachers have with their students. Teachers can understand students’ feelings and deal with important problems. If AI takes the place of teachers, students won’t have as many trusted adults (成人) to talk to when they are worried about something. 4．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a joke. B．By explaining a reason. C．By describing a scene (场景). D．By using a famous saying. 5．Which of the following can be put in the “ ▲ ”? A．Are you good at using AI? B．Are AI teachers a good idea? C．Are teachers happy with AI? D．Are AI teachers popular with parents? 6．What is one advantage of AI teachers mentioned in the passage? A．They can encourage students to think of new ideas. B．They can change how people interact with each other. C．They can teach subjects that human teachers find difficult. D．They can help each student with their own learning problems. 7．What does the underlined word “lacks” mean? A．is short of B．is interested in C．is tired of D．is famous for 8．What will happen if AI replaces (代替) human teachers according to the passage? A．Teachers will lose their jobs. B．Teachers will improve teaching methods. C．Students will learn more creative subjects. D．Students will have fewer adults to turn to. 【答案】4．C 5．B 6．D 7．A 8．D 【导语】本文主要讨论了AI教师与人类教师的优缺点，呈现了支持和反对AI教师的两种观点。 4．细节理解题。根据“Last year, 20 students in London learned maths through AI instead of human teachers. There was no robot at the front of the classroom, just AI programs on students’ computers.”可知，文章开头先描述了学生在课堂中使用AI学习数学的场景，引出话题，故选C。 5．推理判断题。根据“Yes—AI can improve learning”以及“No—students will lose out”可知文章围绕AI教学展开讨论，先呈现现象，接着从支持和反对两方面论述，此处应是引出“AI教师是否是个好主意”的讨论。故选B。 6．细节理解题。根据“AI can work out difficult problems very quickly. It can find gaps (空白) in a child’s learning and fill them.”可知，文中提到AI可以“找出并弥补学生学习中的空白”，即根据每个学生的不同情况进行针对性帮助，故选D。 7．词句猜测题。根据划线词后“Why not let AI teachers fill the gap?”可知，后文提到了让人工智能教师来填补这一空白，因此lack”表示“缺少”，故选A。 8．细节理解题。根据“If AI takes the place of teachers, students won’t have as many trusted adults (成人) to talk to when they are worried about something.”可知如果AI取代教师，那么当学生遇到问题时，他们就没有那么多值得信赖的大人可倾诉了。故选D。 Passage 3 （24-25八年级上·佛山市南海区第一中学·期末） WeChat has undeniably transformed communication in China, offering incredible convenience for students to connect with classmates, discuss homework, and share learning resources in real-time. Its multi-functional platform integrates messaging, social media, and mobile payment, making daily life more efficient. However, this powerful tool can also become a significant source of distraction. The constant flow of messages from group chats and the temptation of “Moments” and mini-games can easily pull students away from their studies. It is not uncommon for a student to intend to quickly check a class notification, only to find themselves scrolling through feeds or watching videos for an extended period, leaving homework neglected. Educators and parents express growing concern over this issue. They observe a decline in students’ attention spans and an increase in procrastination linked to excessive use of the app. The key, they argue, is not to forbid WeChat entirely, which is impractical, but to cultivate digital discipline. Students are encouraged to use the app’s “Do Not Disturb” mode during study sessions and to set strict time limits for its recreational use. Learning to use technology as a servant rather than letting it become the master is a crucial skill in the digital age. When used mindfully, WeChat can be a valuable assistant; when used excessively, it hinders academic progress and personal well-being. 9．What is the main advantage of WeChat for students mentioned in the passage? A．It helps them play games with friends. B．It allows them to shop online easily. C．It enables real-time communication for study. D．It lets them watch movies for free. 10．What is the major concern about students using WeChat? A．It is too expensive for students to use. B．It might distract them from their studies. C．Its payment system is not secure enough. D．It makes students communicate less in person. 11．What does the word “procrastination” in the second paragraph most likely mean? A．Delaying or postponing tasks. B．Improving academic performance. C．Communicating more effectively. D．Focusing intensely on studies. 12．Which of the following is a suggested solution to manage WeChat use? A．Deleting the app permanently. B．Using “Do Not Disturb” mode during study time. C．Only using it for playing games. D．Avoiding all group chats. 13．How does the author describe WeChat in the conclusion? A．As a completely harmful application. B．As a tool that can be either helpful or harmful. C．As the only reason for students’ poor grades. D．As an outdated form of technology. 【答案】9．C 10．B 11．A 12．B 13．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，讨论微信给学生带来学习交流便利的同时也会分散注意力，提出应培养数字自律，合理使用这一工具。 9．细节理解题。根据“WeChat has undeniably transformed communication in China, offering incredible convenience for students to connect with classmates, discuss homework, and share learning resources in real-time.”可知，微信对学生的主要优势是能实现学习方面的实时交流，故选C。 10．细节理解题。根据“However, this powerful tool can also become a significant source of distraction. The constant flow of messages from group chats and the temptation of “Moments” and mini-games can easily pull students away from their studies.”可知，学生使用微信的主要问题是可能会分散他们学习的注意力，故选B。 11．词句猜测题。根据前文提到微信分散学生注意力，以及“an increase in procrastination linked to excessive use of the app”可知，这里说的是过度使用微信导致学生拖延任务，“procrastination”意思是“Delaying or postponing tasks.”，即拖延或推迟任务，故选A。 12．细节理解题。根据“Students are encouraged to use the app’s ‘Do Not Disturb’ mode during study sessions and to set strict time limits for its recreational use.”可知，建议的管理微信使用的方法是在学习期间使用“免打扰”模式，故选B。 13．观点态度题。根据“When used mindfully, WeChat can be a valuable assistant; when used excessively, it hinders academic progress and personal well-being.”可知，作者认为微信是一个既可能有帮助又可能有害的工具，故选B。 主题02 人与社会——青少年问题 Passage 1 （24-25八年级上·东莞市宇桥外国语学校·期末） Many kids help parents to do chores in the house. They may take out the rubbish, walk the dog or sweep the floor. Some kids get money or other rewards (报酬) from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games. But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Jane Smith. She believes if kids get rewards, they may think that they shouldn’t share the housework with their parents. For example, kids won’t sweep the floor if they see it is not clean. But they will do it if their parents reward them for it. “A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It’s important for children to see that we all have a responsibility to keep our home clean,” said Jane. Other people hold different opinions. They believe that money or other rewards encourage kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real-world lessons. They can learn about how we need to work to make money. Now, there are also some apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points (积分) and digital (电子的) gifts. With the app Chore Monster, kids get digital points after doing chores. Kids can exchange their points for real rewards, such as time to play computer games or a trip to the supermarket. “We want to encourage kids,” says Joe Black. “Kids need prizes to make them do chores.” 1．What do some kids get for doing chores according to the text? ①Money.     ②20 minutes to play computer games. ③Points and digital gifts.     ④More time to do housework.

B．Should Children Make Money after School? C．Should Children Get Rewards for Doing Chores? D．Should Children Do Chores at Home? 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文主要讨论了孩子做家务是否应该得到奖励的问题，不同的人有不同的观点。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Some kids get money or other rewards (报酬) from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games.”以及后文关于应用程序的描述“The apps give kids points (积分) and digital (电子的) gifts.”可知，孩子们做家务可能获得的报酬包括金钱、玩游戏的时间、积分和数字礼物。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“One of them is Jane Smith. She believes if kids get rewards, they may think that they shouldn’t share the housework with their parents.”可知，Jane Smith认为，如果孩子获得报酬，他们可能会认为没有报酬就不应该分担家务。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据第三段“A home is a living place for everyone in the family.

Social media platform Douyin has made it worse. From jokes to cosplay to science, the app has it all. With its scrolling (滚动), music and joy never stop. You could never call Douyin dull. Some researchers wondered what influence such a fun app might have on teens. A research team interviewed 31 teens between the ages of 13 and 18. Nearly all said they had at least one social media account (账户). The study team said that more than 60% of the teens said they always used Douyin. “The main reason is that Douyin is really good at offering a lot of interesting content (内容) to them,” one researcher said. In addition, some teens said that the app’s videos of many seemingly perfect faces and perfect lives could hurt their self-respect. “I see someone’s really nice house, or someone’s really cute dog, or happy family. There is just so much content that I can always compare (对比). It also makes me a little worried,” said a teenager. So how can teenagers avoid those bad influences? They can control their addictive habits by reducing their screen time. Choose a certain time as their “social media time”. They can also put their phones down for a few minutes and enjoy the real world. Take a walk, meet up with friends, and choose to make it a phone-less activity. It may be difficult, but teenagers can do it. 6．What does the underlined word “dull” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Boring. B．Useless. C．Dangerous. D．Old-fashioned. 7．What can we learn from the researcher’s words? A．Douyin is easy to use. B．Douyin offers rich content. C．Teenagers can learn a lot from Douyin. D．Douyin helps teens make friends with others. 8．Why may Douyin make some teens feel worried? A．Because they always get bad news from it. B．Because they often compare themselves with others. C．Because they can’t help spending too much time on it. D．Because they can see some bad words about themselves. 9．Which is the right structure of the passage? A．①②/③④ B．①②/③/④ C．①/②/③④ D．①/②③/④ 10．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Why teens are interested in social media? B．Researchers interviewed 31 teens C．Teens become addicted to social media D．How to avoid social media’s bad influences 【答案】6．A 7．B 8．B 9．D 10．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了青少年沉迷短视频这一现象，并针对青少年应如何避免不良影响提出了建议。 6．词句猜测题。根据“With its scrolling (滚动), music and joy never stop. You could never call Douyin dull.”可知，软件上的音乐和快乐永远不会停止，说明抖音是不可能无聊的，dull意为“无聊的”，与boring意思相近。故选A。 7．细节理解题。根据“‘The main reason is that Douyin is really good at offering a lot of interesting content (内容) to them,’ one researcher said.”可知，一位研究人员说，抖音真的很擅长为青少年提供许多有趣的内容，即抖音会给青少年提供吸引他们的丰富内容。故选B。 8．推理判断题。根据“There is just so much content that I can always compare (对比). It also makes me a little worried”可知，一些青少年因为总是在和别人比较而感到担忧。故选B。 9．篇章结构题。第一段总起全文，介绍了青少年对抖音上瘾这一情况；第二、三段介绍了抖音对青少年产生的影响；第四段介绍了青少年应该如何避免这些影响。故选D。 10．最佳标题题。全文核心围绕青少年对社交媒体的上瘾展开：首段定义上瘾现象，中间分析原因和负面影响，结尾提出应对建议。选项C（Teens become addicted to social media）概括了主题，涵盖全文焦点。故选C。 Passage 3 （24-25八年级上·东莞市东莞中学初中部·期末） Many kids help their parents to do chores such as washing the dishes, cleaning the floors and taking out the rubbish in the house.

One of them is Susie Walton, a parenting educator. She believes that if kids get rewards, they will think that work isn’t worth (值得) doing unless (除非) they can get something.

Some parents refuse to let kids do such chores so that their kids can have more time to study. Others teach kids to do chores to make kids become independent. Then here comes the question: ________ My answer is yes and the following are my reasons. Household chores teach kids life skills. Many of the life skills are things that teachers do not teach, which makes learning to do household chores become even more important. Household chores make kids learn responsibility and independence. Living with their parents, kids should know that every family member should play their part in keeping the house clean. And they learn it by doing household chores. Household chores help kids understand their parents better. When parents do housework, most kids think it’s easy. Unless kids try some chores themselves, they won’t know how hard their parents work. Giving them chores may help this insight come quickly. Household chores help improve kids’ planning skills. When kids have housework and other chores in a day, they need to decide what to do first. In this way, they will improve their planning skills. It’s true that study is important for kids, but it doesn’t mean that kids need to spend all the time on their study. At different ages, there are some household chores that are suitable for kids. If they can do them, it will be good for their development. 16．Why do some parents refuse to let kids do household chores? A．Because they think kids are too young. B．Because they want kids to have more time to study. C．Because they don’t think kids can do them well.

Then you start watching short videos on your phone. The first one is about a dog. It is not interesting, so you move on to another. You keep switching (切换) videos and hope to find something more interesting. But it doesn’t make you feel less bored. In fact, scientists find that switching from one video to another will add feeling of boredom and make you feel even worse. ▲ In the study, people watched short videos in two different ways. In the first way, they could switch videos if they didn’t like the one playing. However, in the second way, they had to finish watching one video before moving to the next. The results were surprising. When people could switch videos freely, they actually felt more bored. But when they couldn’t switch and had to fully focus (关注) on one video, they enjoyed it much more. Sam Green is one of the experts in the study. He says switching videos very often can make watching experience meaningless. That’s because people don’t have time to think and take in. “If people want a more delightful experience when watching, they must try to truly enjoy what they watch and refuse video switching,” Sam says. “Just like paying for a great movie experience in a theater, we often enjoy the videos more when we watch them fully instead of switching from one video to another.” 1．How will people feel if they switch videos too often? A．Happy. B．Surprised. C．Angry. D．Bored. 2．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in paragraph 2? A．Scientists advised people to fully enjoy the video. B．Scientists did a study with over 600 people in 2022. C．Scientists believed many people had such feelings. D．Scientists found that watching videos helped to relax. 3．Video switching makes watching experience meaningless because ________. A．people forget what they watch easily B．people can’t find fun videos to watch C．people have little time to think and take in D．people will miss the important information 4．What does the underlined word “delightful” mean? A．Enjoyable. B．Creative. C．Dangerous. D．Terrible. 5．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．Interesting Short Videos Online B．Boredom from Video Switching C．Advice on Choosing Short Videos D．Different Video Watching Experiences 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文主要讲述的是频繁切换视频会增加无聊感和负面影响。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“You keep switching (切换) videos and hope to find something more interesting... will add feeling of boredom and make you feel even worse.”可知，频繁切换视频会让人更加无聊。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“In the study, people watched short videos in two different ways.”可知，提到了人们用两种不同的方式观看短视频的研究。选项B“2022年，科学家对600多人进行了一项研究。”符合语境。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“He says switching videos very often can make watching experience meaningless. That’s because people don’t have time to think and take in.”可知，频繁切换视频会让观看体验变得毫无意义，因为人们没时间去思考或吸收内容。故选C。 4．词义猜测题。根据“If people want a more delightful experience when watching, they must try to truly enjoy what they watch and refuse video switching,”可知，真正享受观看的内容并拒绝视频切换，是为了获得“更愉快”的观看体验。故划线单词“delightful”意为“愉快的”，与“Enjoyable”意思相近。故选A。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述的是频繁切换视频会增加无聊感和负面影响，因此选项B“视频切换带来的无聊感”是最佳标题。故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25八年级上·广州市真光中学·期末） ① Classics are the gems (宝石) of the literary (文学) world.

It talks about family, society and human nature. These things can be fun to watch but boring and difficult to read. ⑥ “There are so many characters in the novel, which make me confused a lot,” said 12-year-old Shao Xinyao from Hubei. “The mind map shown in the videos make their relationships clearly.” ⑦ While reading with videos helps many people, some express different opinions and worries. ⑧ For Zhang Boren, a 13-year-old from Beijing, reading is a journey about forming a personal relationship with the text, not just learning information. “Books can let me imagine. Although videos can help a lot, they can’t show every part of a well-made story,” he said. ⑨ 18-year-old Wang Hongjie from Sichuan agreed, saying, “It may decrease (减少) readers’ ability to read independently and think deeply.” 6．According to the survey from Douyin, which description about the “book-related videos” is RIGHT? A．They went up greatly. B．They went down rapidly. C．They stayed the same. D．They went up and down. 7．Which picture can show the feeling of being confused?

C．Ran Leiguang, who likes imagining fighting against monsters like Sun Wukong while enjoying the stories from Journey to the West. D．Tang Xiaoyun, who is too busy reading but has an exam about A Dream of Red Mansions. 9．Which of the following can best show the structure of this passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】6．A 7．C 8．D 9．C 【导语】本文讨论了越来越多的人通过观看视频来理解经典文学作品的趋势，同时也探讨了一些人对这一现象的不同看法和担忧。 6．推理判断题。根据“According to a 2023 survey reported by the Chinese short-video platform Douyin, the views for book-related videos jumped by 65.17 percent year-on-year.”可知，根据中国短视频平台抖音在2023年发布的一项调查，图书相关视频的观看量同比增长了65.17%。由此推知与图书相关视频大幅上升了。故选A。 7．词句猜测题。根据“The mind map shown in the videos make their relationships clearly.”可知，视频中显示的思维导图清楚地说明了各个人物之间的关系，由此推知小说中的人物众多，使人感到困惑；“confused”表示“困惑的”。故选C。 8．推理判断题。根据“A Dream of Red Mansions is famous for showing Chinese society ... These things can be fun to watch but boring and difficult to read.”可知，《红楼梦》里面的一些东西，看起来很有趣，但却很无聊，很难读懂；通过视频，这些问题可以解决；由此推知，D选项“唐小云，他忙着看书，却有一个关于《红楼梦》的考试。”符合题意。故选D。 9．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第①段介绍了经典文学作品的重要性以及人们通过视频观看这些经典作品的趋势；第②段介绍了人们为什么选择“看”经典，③④⑤⑥段引用了几位青少年的观点和例子来支持这一点，包括他们如何利用视频理解和学习经典作品；第⑦段表达了一些不同的观点和担忧，⑧⑨段引用了其他青少年的观点来支持这一立场。因此C选项符合本文的结构。故选C。 Passage 3 （24-25八年级上·珠海市第五中学·期末） Since last year, short videos have become popular online.

To solve these problems, Tik Tok added a new function (功能) in April. The app won’t work if someone uses it for over two hours a day.

They may learn bad things from them.”可知，有些视频会让青少年学到一些不好的东西，所以是不适合他们看，划线处是“适合的”，与right意思相近。故选A。 13．主旨大意题。根据“Since last year, short videos have become popular online.

However, my mother-in-law (婆婆) doesn’t agree with me. She thinks I’m too harsh. She thinks it is the adults’ job to do housework.    There are four members in my family. No one in the family is more important than another, so each member should help with chores. I don’t ask my children to do the same chores, because their ages are different.     At the end of the day, after they finish playing with their toys, I ask them to put their toys away. If they don’t, they will have to say goodbye to their toys. I hope my children can sweep the floor, set the table and help fold their clothes. I don’t think I’m asking too much. I know they are tired after a long day’s study at school, but that’s life, harsh but real. I don’t want to pay them for doing some chores. They live in the house, so they should help out with some things in the house. No one is going to pay them for cleaning up their rooms later in life and I’m not about to start doing it now. Some parents protect their children too much from anything unpleasant (使人不愉快的) and make their children’s lives too comfortable and safe, but I’m not interested in that way.

By doing these chores, some kids get money or other rewards (奖励) such as computer time. But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator, thinks that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth (值得) doing if you don’t get something back. “A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have duties in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look,” Susie said. Other people think that getting money or other rewards encourages kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to make money. There are new apps that give kids points (积分) and digital (电子的) gifts that can be redeemed online or in the real world. For example, with the chore Monster app, kids can use their digital points from chores to get a ticket to the park. What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their homes and get nothing? Share your story and send it to tfasks4you@timeforkids.com. 6．How does the passage begin? A．By listing some numbers. B．By showing some facts (事实). C．By asking some questions. D．By sharing funny experiences. 7．Which idea may Susie Walton agree with? A．Kids have the duty to share housework. B．Kids should get rewards for doing chores. C．Parents decide what kids can do for the family. D．Kids can get computer time for doing chores. 8．What does the underlined word “redeemed” mean in Paragraph 3? A．花费 B．兑换 C．删除 D．提高 9．What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A．The writer likes giving kids rewards for chores. B．The writer thinks kids should do chores and get nothing. C．The passage wants to start a talk, not give an answer. D．Many parents use apps to reward their kids for chores. 【答案】6．B 7．A 8．B 9．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，文章通过呈现支持和反对为孩子做家务提供奖励的两种观点，旨在引发读者对这一育儿话题的思考和讨论。 6．细节理解题。根据第一段内容“Many kids help out around the house with chores such as cleaning the windows, sweeping the floor, and taking out the rubbish. By doing these chores, some kids get money or other rewards (奖励) such as computer time.”可知，文章开头列举了孩子们通过做家务可能获得报酬或奖励的事实，属于“呈现事实”的方式。故选B。 7．推理判断题。根据第二段内容“But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator, thinks that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth (值得) doing if you don’t get something back.”可知，育儿教育家苏西·沃尔顿认为做家务是家庭成员的责任，不应与奖励挂钩，因此她可能同意“孩子有责任分担家务”这一观点。故选A。 8．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“There are new apps that give kids points (积分) and digital (电子的) gifts that can be redeemed online or in the real world.”可知，有新的应用程序给孩子们积分和数字礼物，可以在网上或现实世界中兑换。由此可知，下划线单词“redeemed”的中文意思是“兑换”。故选B。 9．推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their homes and get nothing? Share your story and send it to tfasks4you@timeforkids.com.”可知，文章最后一段提出问题并邀请读者分享观点。由此可推测，文章的目的是引发讨论而非给出确定答案。故选C。 Passage 3 （24-25八年级上·东莞市启元学校·期末） Many kids do housework such as doing the dishes, making the bed and folding the clothes. In exchange (作为交换), they get some money or other computer time. Paying kids for housework is very popular in some families. Some parents think since adults get money from their jobs, we should pay kids for everyday housework. But some people don’t think kids should get rewards (报酬) for doing housework. Susie Walton, an expert, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. “Doing any kind of housework is a team activity,” Walton said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities (责任) in the house, and families decide how they want their home to look and how they are going to keep it looking like what they want.” Other people believe that getting a reward encourages kids to do housework, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money. There are also apps that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed (兑现) either online or in the real world. “Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards,” says Chris Bergman. “And kids need rewards to help encourage them.” 10．Which of the following chores is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1? A．Washing the dishes. B．Cooking meals. C．Folding the clothes. D．Making the bed. 11．What’s Walton’s idea in the passage? A．Running exercise is a kind of teamwork. B．People work to get some rewards. C．Kids have responsibilities in the house. D．Doing the housework is only the parents’ job. 12．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．Doing housework with rewards. B．Staying away from housework. C．Doing housework without rewards. D．Doing much more housework. 13．Which is the best title for the passage? A．Kids should study and do housework B．Let children do some housework C．Should kids get rewards for doing housework? D．Doing housework is good for children’s study 14．What’s the writer’s purpose (目的) for writing the passage? A．To ask children to do more chores. B．To show us children can do more in their family. C．To encourage children to help their parents with housework. D．To introduce two ideas about whether parents should pay kids for doing housework. 【答案】10．B 11．C 12．A 13．C 14．D 【导语】本文是议论文，围绕孩子做家务是否该获奖励展开，呈现两种观点：一种支持给孩子报酬，另一种认为家务是家庭责任，也提及奖励能鼓励孩子并传授社会经验 。 10．细节理解题。第一段提到“Many kids do housework such as doing the dishes, making the bed and folding the clothes”，明确列举的家务里没有“Cooking meals”，A、C、D对应列举内容，B不涉及。故选B。 11．细节理解题。根据第三段“It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house” ，Walton认为孩子在家应承担责任。A混淆“家务”与“跑步锻炼”；B是普遍工作获酬观，并非针对孩子做家务的观点；D与“孩子需承担家庭责任”相悖。故选C。 12．推理判断题。第四段围绕“getting a reward encourages kids to do housework”展开，“it”指代前文“因奖励激励孩子做家务”这件事。B说“远离家务”、C说“无奖励做家务”、D说“做更多家务”，都偏离“奖励与做家务关联”的语境。故选A。 13．主旨大意题。文章围绕“孩子做家务是否应获得奖励”，呈现不同观点，核心是探讨“Should kids get rewards for doing housework?”。A、B、D 均未紧扣“奖励争议”；C直接聚焦该话题。故选C。 14．推理判断题。文章介绍“父母应因孩子做家务付钱”和“家务是家庭责任”两种观点，目的是呈现相关不同看法。A、B、C均未体现这一点；D符合文意。故选D。 主题03 人与自然——人与动植物 Passage 1 （24-25八年级上·广州市第二中学·期末） 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 （24-25八年级上·广东阳江市第二中学·期末） The idea of a pet for an elderly person is one that is often considered. Elderly people may miss their friends and family who are no longer around. However, a kitten (a young cat) is not a good idea for an elderly person. Kittens are tiring. Elderly people, even those in the best of health, will have a lot of difficulty chasing after a kitten. Unluckily, kittens do need a lot of care. They need to be trained not to destroy furniture and not to run up curtains (窗帘), and they need a lot of fun time which an elderly person probably won’t be able to give them. And an elderly person will not want to look for the cat. It needs much physical energy. It is not cheap to care for a cat of any age, but kittens can be particularly expensive. They need to be taken to the animal doctors for regular health checks, especially when they are young. Cat food is usually expensive, and their beds, toys and other things all cost much money. For an elderly person living on a pension (退休金), the cost can be more than they can bear. Provided that an elderly person really does want an animal friend, an older cat would be a much better choice. Getting one from a cats’ home should make sure that it is already well trained. And with a little bit of care, it can live in a home with an elderly person. 5．  From the first paragraph we can learn that the writer wants to ________. A．correct a wrong idea B．introduce a pet C．know about the elderly D．keep a kitten as a pet 6．According to the passage, for elderly people, taking care of a kitten ________. A．is quite a simple task B．helps them exercise their body C．takes too much of their energy D．brings them a lot of pleasure 7．What can we learn from the third paragraph? A．The older cats grow, the more they cost. B．The cost of taking care of kittens is high. C．The regular health checks are useless when a kitten grows up. D．The elderly people can keep a kitten as a pet if they can get more money. 8．What does the underlined word “bear” mean? A．捐赠 B．承担 C．理解 D．控制 9．In which part of a newspaper does the passage most probably appear? A．Life. B．Science. C．Business. D．Nature. 【答案】5．A 6．C 7．B 8．B 9．A 【导语】本文主要探讨了老年人养猫（尤其是小猫）的问题。 5．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The idea of a pet for an elderly person is one that is often considered”和“However, a kitten (a young cat) is not a good idea for an elderly person”可知，让老年人养宠物这个想法经常被考虑，然而小猫并不适合给老年人养。因此作者想要纠正这个错误的想法。故选A。 6．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Kittens are tiring. Elderly people, even those in the best of health, will have a lot of difficulty chasing after a kitten. Unluckily, kittens do need a lot of care”和 “And an elderly person will not want to look for the cat. It needs much physical energy”可知，照顾小猫需要很多精力，故选C。 7．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It is not cheap to care for a cat of any age, but kittens can be particularly expensive”可知，饲养任何年龄的猫费用都不便宜，但是饲养小猫的费用尤其贵。故选B。 8．词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“It is not cheap to care for a cat of any age, but kittens can be particularly expensive”以及“For an elderly person living on a pension (退休金), the cost can be more than they can bear”可知，养小猫的费用很高，对于依靠退休金生活的老年人来说，这笔费用可能超出他们的承受能力。因此可以推断，画线单词“bear”意为“承担”。故选B。 9．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要探讨了老年人养小猫面临的问题，因此可以推断，本文最有可能出现在报纸的生活版块。故选A。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题05 阅读理解（议论文） 主题01 人与社会——科学与技术 Passage 1 （24-25八年级上·广州市白云区白云中学·期末） Many people are embracing (拥抱) artificial intelligence (AI). Tools such as ChatGPT use AI to produce text quickly. Some people find that helpful for school or work. Other AI tools create images or chatbots. But AI isn’t always accurate or reliable. And it comes with risks, especially if used irresponsibly. We asked some students if they think AI is good for society. They made strong points on both sides of the issue. Here are three of their answers. Where do you stand? Rime Lee, 10, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada I believe AI can help in many areas. These include healthcare, education, robotics, and more. Some people might think students could use AI to get answers without putting in any effort. But AI doesn’t just give students the answers. It can help them solve problems step by step. That’s a great way to learn. Maren Altrup, 10, Springfield, Missouri AI can be good for society in some ways, but it could also go wrong. With AI, it can be hard to know what is real and what is made-up. And students could cheat on their homework. This would not be good, because teachers would not know if students were struggling. Students could stop thinking for themselves and depend too much on AI. Thomas McGibbon, 9, Pelham, New York Artificial intelligence is good for society. Without it, some helpful websites wouldn’t exist. It’s also good because you might have a question but your parents don’t know the answer. Then you can ask AI. I know students can use artificial intelligence to cheat on tests or on their homework. But a lot of schools are able to block (屏蔽) those websites so that students can’t cheat. 1．What can people use AI tools to do? ①produce text        ②create images ③kill chatbots        ④help with study or work A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 2．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．AI tools. B．Students. C．Answers. D．Problems. 3．What’s the best title of the passage? A．AI can help in many areas. B．AI can be good for society. C．AI opens up new opportunities. D．Is artificial intelligence good for society? Passage 2 （24-25八年级上·广州市白云区白云中学·期末） Last year, 20 students in London learned maths through AI instead of human teachers. There was no robot at the front of the classroom, just AI programs on students’ computers. Some people think using AI to teach students is a step too far and that students need human interaction (互动) in their lessons. What do you think? ▲ Yes—AI can improve learning AI can work out difficult problems very quickly. It can find gaps (空白) in a child’s learning and fill them. AI teachers can pay attention to each student and help them with subjects they find difficult. In fact, it is hard for human teachers to do so in a big class. Besides, AI has already been used to improve online learning and it has already been used in schools to support teachers with things like lesson plans. Also, the UK lacks middle school teachers, especially for subjects like computers and languages. Why not let AI teachers fill the gap? No—students will lose out (吃亏，失败) A human teacher has a lot of knowledge, experience and ideas, while AI is only as good as the information it learns. Also, how well can AI teach creative subjects such as art and drama, which encourage students to come up with new ideas? In 2023, the UK Government said AI could not take the place of (代替) the relationship that teachers have with their students. Teachers can understand students’ feelings and deal with important problems. If AI takes the place of teachers, students won’t have as many trusted adults (成人) to talk to when they are worried about something. 4．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a joke. B．By explaining a reason. C．By describing a scene (场景). D．By using a famous saying. 5．Which of the following can be put in the “ ▲ ”? A．Are you good at using AI? B．Are AI teachers a good idea? C．Are teachers happy with AI? D．Are AI teachers popular with parents? 6．What is one advantage of AI teachers mentioned in the passage? A．They can encourage students to think of new ideas. B．They can change how people interact with each other. C．They can teach subjects that human teachers find difficult. D．They can help each student with their own learning problems. 7．What does the underlined word “lacks” mean? A．is short of B．is interested in C．is tired of D．is famous for 8．What will happen if AI replaces (代替) human teachers according to the passage? A．Teachers will lose their jobs. B．Teachers will improve teaching methods. C．Students will learn more creative subjects. D．Students will have fewer adults to turn to. Passage 3 （24-25八年级上·广州市白云区白云中学·期末） WeChat has undeniably transformed communication in China, offering incredible convenience for students to connect with classmates, discuss homework, and share learning resources in real-time. Its multi-functional platform integrates messaging, social media, and mobile payment, making daily life more efficient. However, this powerful tool can also become a significant source of distraction. The constant flow of messages from group chats and the temptation of “Moments” and mini-games can easily pull students away from their studies. It is not uncommon for a student to intend to quickly check a class notification, only to find themselves scrolling through feeds or watching videos for an extended period, leaving homework neglected. Educators and parents express growing concern over this issue. They observe a decline in students’ attention spans and an increase in procrastination linked to excessive use of the app. The key, they argue, is not to forbid WeChat entirely, which is impractical, but to cultivate digital discipline. Students are encouraged to use the app’s “Do Not Disturb” mode during study sessions and to set strict time limits for its recreational use. Learning to use technology as a servant rather than letting it become the master is a crucial skill in the digital age. When used mindfully, WeChat can be a valuable assistant; when used excessively, it hinders academic progress and personal well-being. 9．What is the main advantage of WeChat for students mentioned in the passage? A．It helps them play games with friends. B．It allows them to shop online easily. C．It enables real-time communication for study. D．It lets them watch movies for free. 10．What is the major concern about students using WeChat? A．It is too expensive for students to use. B．It might distract them from their studies. C．Its payment system is not secure enough. D．It makes students communicate less in person. 11．What does the word “procrastination” in the second paragraph most likely mean? A．Delaying or postponing tasks. B．Improving academic performance. C．Communicating more effectively. D．Focusing intensely on studies. 12．Which of the following is a suggested solution to manage WeChat use? A．Deleting the app permanently. B．Using “Do Not Disturb” mode during study time. C．Only using it for playing games. D．Avoiding all group chats. 13．How does the author describe WeChat in the conclusion? A．As a completely harmful application. B．As a tool that can be either helpful or harmful. C．As the only reason for students’ poor grades. D．As an outdated form of technology. 主题02 人与社会——青少年问题 Passage 1 （24-25八年级上·广州市白云区白云中学·期末） Many kids help parents to do chores in the house. They may take out the rubbish, walk the dog or sweep the floor. Some kids get money or other rewards (报酬) from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games. But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Jane Smith. She believes if kids get rewards, they may think that they shouldn’t share the housework with their parents. For example, kids won’t sweep the floor if they see it is not clean.

Passage 2 （24-25八年级上·广州市白云区白云中学·期末） As teens become interested in social media, they are also becoming addicted (上瘾的). Social media platform Douyin has made it worse. From jokes to cosplay to science, the app has it all. With its scrolling (滚动), music and joy never stop. You could never call Douyin dull. Some researchers wondered what influence such a fun app might have on teens. A research team interviewed 31 teens between the ages of 13 and 18. Nearly all said they had at least one social media account (账户). The study team said that more than 60% of the teens said they always used Douyin. “The main reason is that Douyin is really good at offering a lot of interesting content (内容) to them,” one researcher said. In addition, some teens said that the app’s videos of many seemingly perfect faces and perfect lives could hurt their self-respect. “I see someone’s really nice house, or someone’s really cute dog, or happy family. There is just so much content that I can always compare (对比). It also makes me a little worried,” said a teenager. So how can teenagers avoid those bad influences? They can control their addictive habits by reducing their screen time. Choose a certain time as their “social media time”. They can also put their phones down for a few minutes and enjoy the real world. Take a walk, meet up with friends, and choose to make it a phone-less activity. It may be difficult, but teenagers can do it. 6．What does the underlined word “dull” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Boring. B．Useless. C．Dangerous. D．Old-fashioned. 7．What can we learn from the researcher’s words? A．Douyin is easy to use. B．Douyin offers rich content. C．Teenagers can learn a lot from Douyin. D．Douyin helps teens make friends with others. 8．Why may Douyin make some teens feel worried? A．Because they always get bad news from it. B．Because they often compare themselves with others. C．Because they can’t help spending too much time on it. D．Because they can see some bad words about themselves. 9．Which is the right structure of the passage? A．①②/③④ B．①②/③/④ C．①/②/③④ D．①/②③/④ 10．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Why teens are interested in social media? B．Researchers interviewed 31 teens C．Teens become addicted to social media D．How to avoid social media’s bad influences Passage 3 （24-25八年级上·广州市白云区白云中学·期末） Many kids help their parents to do chores such as washing the dishes, cleaning the floors and taking out the rubbish in the house. And some kids get money or other rewards (奖励) from their parents, such as playing computer games for 20 minutes. But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Susie Walton, a parenting educator. She believes that if kids get rewards, they will think that work isn’t worth (值得) doing unless (除非) they can get something. For example, kids won’t sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will clean the floor if their parents reward them for it. Susie said, “A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that it’s all the family members’ job to keep their homes clean.” Other people have different opinions (观点). They believe that money or other rewards can encourage kids to do more chores. It also teaches them a real world lesson that we need to work to make money. Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and gifts that can be used either online or in the real world. With the Chore Monster app, kids get points after doing chores. Kids can exchange (交换) their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall. What do you think?

Passage 4 （24-25八年级上·广州市白云区白云中学·期末） Household chores are part of the family life. Some parents refuse to let kids do such chores so that their kids can have more time to study. Others teach kids to do chores to make kids become independent. Then here comes the question: ________ My answer is yes and the following are my reasons. Household chores teach kids life skills. Many of the life skills are things that teachers do not teach, which makes learning to do household chores become even more important. Household chores make kids learn responsibility and independence. Living with their parents, kids should know that every family member should play their part in keeping the house clean. And they learn it by doing household chores. Household chores help kids understand their parents better. When parents do housework, most kids think it’s easy. Unless kids try some chores themselves, they won’t know how hard their parents work. Giving them chores may help this insight come quickly. Household chores help improve kids’ planning skills. When kids have housework and other chores in a day, they need to decide what to do first. In this way, they will improve their planning skills. It’s true that study is important for kids, but it doesn’t mean that kids need to spend all the time on their study. At different ages, there are some household chores that are suitable for kids. If they can do them, it will be good for their development. 16．Why do some parents refuse to let kids do household chores? A．Because they think kids are too young.

The first one is about a dog. It is not interesting, so you move on to another. You keep switching (切换) videos and hope to find something more interesting. But it doesn’t make you feel less bored. In fact, scientists find that switching from one video to another will add feeling of boredom and make you feel even worse. ▲ In the study, people watched short videos in two different ways. In the first way, they could switch videos if they didn’t like the one playing. However, in the second way, they had to finish watching one video before moving to the next. The results were surprising. When people could switch videos freely, they actually felt more bored. But when they couldn’t switch and had to fully focus (关注) on one video, they enjoyed it much more. Sam Green is one of the experts in the study. He says switching videos very often can make watching experience meaningless. That’s because people don’t have time to think and take in. “If people want a more delightful experience when watching, they must try to truly enjoy what they watch and refuse video switching,” Sam says. “Just like paying for a great movie experience in a theater, we often enjoy the videos more when we watch them fully instead of switching from one video to another.” 1．How will people feel if they switch videos too often? A．Happy. B．Surprised. C．Angry. D．Bored. 2．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in paragraph 2? A．Scientists advised people to fully enjoy the video. B．Scientists did a study with over 600 people in 2022. C．Scientists believed many people had such feelings. D．Scientists found that watching videos helped to relax. 3．Video switching makes watching experience meaningless because ________. A．people forget what they watch easily B．people can’t find fun videos to watch C．people have little time to think and take in D．people will miss the important information 4．What does the underlined word “delightful” mean? A．Enjoyable. B．Creative. C．Dangerous. D．Terrible. 5．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．Interesting Short Videos Online B．Boredom from Video Switching C．Advice on Choosing Short Videos D．Different Video Watching Experiences Passage 2 （24-25八年级上·广州市真光中学·期末） ① Classics are the gems (宝石) of the literary (文学) world. For years, people have read them to learn more. But now, more people love “watching” these classics in videos. According to a 2023 survey reported by the Chinese short-video platform Douyin, the views for book-related videos jumped by 65.17 percent year-on-year. ② Numbers of people get what they want by “watching” classics. ③ “There are some classics that I am not interested in but need to read,” said 14-year-old He Liyan from Jiangsu. “So I usually watch a video about the book to find out some interesting stories which can keep me reading.” Some people also find classic books really long and hard to understand, so they go to vloggers’ explanations. ④ “The vloggers also add personal opinions to their explanations, making the book easier to understand,” added He. ⑤A Dream of Red Mansions is famous for showing Chinese society with interesting characters and a poetic writing style. It talks about family, society and human nature. These things can be fun to watch but boring and difficult to read. ⑥ “There are so many characters in the novel, which make me confused a lot,” said 12-year-old Shao Xinyao from Hubei. “The mind map shown in the videos make their relationships clearly.” ⑦ While reading with videos helps many people, some express different opinions and worries. ⑧ For Zhang Boren, a 13-year-old from Beijing, reading is a journey about forming a personal relationship with the text, not just learning information. “Books can let me imagine. Although videos can help a lot, they can’t show every part of a well-made story,” he said. ⑨ 18-year-old Wang Hongjie from Sichuan agreed, saying, “It may decrease (减少) readers’ ability to read independently and think deeply.” 6．According to the survey from Douyin, which description about the “book-related videos” is RIGHT? A．They went up greatly. B．They went down rapidly. C．They stayed the same. D．They went up and down. 7．Which picture can show the feeling of being confused? A． B． C． D． 8．Which student can get the benefits (好处) of “watching” classics? A．Cen Yinuo, who wants to know how Wu Song, a character from Water Margin, felt before fighting with a tiger. B．Teng Fei, who needs to write a reading report about Three Kingdoms and show his own ideas about the book. C．Ran Leiguang, who likes imagining fighting against monsters like Sun Wukong while enjoying the stories from Journey to the West. D．Tang Xiaoyun, who is too busy reading but has an exam about A Dream of Red Mansions. 9．Which of the following can best show the structure of this passage? A． B． C． D． Passage 3 （24-25八年级上·珠海市第五中学·期末） Since last year, short videos have become popular online. Many people make and share short videos on popular video apps like Tik Tok and Kuaishou. On these popular apps, you can even add music and special effects to your videos. A video usually lasts 15 seconds to a few minutes. It shows people’s everyday activities like cooking, exercising and singing. So it can attract many people. Teenagers enjoy these videos very much. More than 50 percent of junior high school students enjoy watching these short videos. About 47 percent of them have shared their own videos on Tik Tok, according to a recent report by the China National Youth Palace Association. The videos let teenagers see a lot of funny and exciting things. Many teenagers like to share the fun things they do with others as well. For example, a student named Xiao Qianyu has shared videos about her dancing. They make her win many fans. However, the videos can also cause trouble. Some students watch short videos for too long and do not have enough time to study. Besides, there are some videos that are not appropriate for teenagers. They may learn bad things from them. To solve these problems, Tik Tok added a new function (功能) in April. The app won’t work if someone uses it for over two hours a day. In the same month, the government asked companies to control these apps and take out harmful videos. The apps have been checked and controlled more strictly since then, the Beijing News reported. 10．According to the article, what can people do on popular video apps? A．Cook, exercise, sing and dance.

However, my mother-in-law (婆婆) doesn’t agree with me. She thinks I’m too harsh. She thinks it is the adults’ job to do housework.    There are four members in my family. No one in the family is more important than another, so each member should help with chores. I don’t ask my children to do the same chores, because their ages are different.     At the end of the day, after they finish playing with their toys, I ask them to put their toys away. If they don’t, they will have to say goodbye to their toys. I hope my children can sweep the floor, set the table and help fold their clothes. I don’t think I’m asking too much. I know they are tired after a long day’s study at school, but that’s life, harsh but real. I don’t want to pay them for doing some chores. They live in the house, so they should help out with some things in the house. No one is going to pay them for cleaning up their rooms later in life and I’m not about to start doing it now. Some parents protect their children too much from anything unpleasant (使人不愉快的) and make their children’s lives too comfortable and safe, but I’m not interested in that way. I hope my children are able to look after themselves and can be independent early. 1．What can we learn about the writer’s mother-in-law? A．She doesn’t get on well with the kids.

Passage 2 （24-25八年级上·深圳外国语学校（初中部）·期末） Many kids help out around the house with chores such as cleaning the windows, sweeping the floor, and taking out the rubbish. By doing these chores, some kids get money or other rewards (奖励) such as computer time. But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator, thinks that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth (值得) doing if you don’t get something back. “A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have duties in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look,” Susie said. Other people think that getting money or other rewards encourages kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to make money. There are new apps that give kids points (积分) and digital (电子的) gifts that can be redeemed online or in the real world. For example, with the chore Monster app, kids can use their digital points from chores to get a ticket to the park. What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their homes and get nothing? Share your story and send it to tfasks4you@timeforkids.com. 6．How does the passage begin? A．By listing some numbers. B．By showing some facts (事实). C．By asking some questions. D．By sharing funny experiences. 7．Which idea may Susie Walton agree with? A．Kids have the duty to share housework. B．Kids should get rewards for doing chores. C．Parents decide what kids can do for the family. D．Kids can get computer time for doing chores. 8．What does the underlined word “redeemed” mean in Paragraph 3? A．花费 B．兑换 C．删除 D．提高 9．What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A．The writer likes giving kids rewards for chores. B．The writer thinks kids should do chores and get nothing. C．The passage wants to start a talk, not give an answer. D．Many parents use apps to reward their kids for chores. Passage 3 （24-25八年级上·东莞市启元学校·期末） Many kids do housework such as doing the dishes, making the bed and folding the clothes. In exchange (作为交换), they get some money or other computer time. Paying kids for housework is very popular in some families. Some parents think since adults get money from their jobs, we should pay kids for everyday housework. But some people don’t think kids should get rewards (报酬) for doing housework. Susie Walton, an expert, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. “Doing any kind of housework is a team activity,” Walton said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities (责任) in the house, and families decide how they want their home to look and how they are going to keep it looking like what they want.” Other people believe that getting a reward encourages kids to do housework, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money. There are also apps that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed (兑现) either online or in the real world. “Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards,” says Chris Bergman. “And kids need rewards to help encourage them.” 10．Which of the following chores is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1? A．Washing the dishes. B．Cooking meals. C．Folding the clothes. D．Making the bed. 11．What’s Walton’s idea in the passage? A．Running exercise is a kind of teamwork. B．People work to get some rewards. C．Kids have responsibilities in the house. D．Doing the housework is only the parents’ job. 12．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．Doing housework with rewards. B．Staying away from housework. C．Doing housework without rewards. D．Doing much more housework. 13．Which is the best title for the passage? A．Kids should study and do housework B．Let children do some housework C．Should kids get rewards for doing housework? D．Doing housework is good for children’s study 14．What’s the writer’s purpose (目的) for writing the passage? A．To ask children to do more chores. B．To show us children can do more in their family. C．To encourage children to help their parents with housework. D．To introduce two ideas about whether parents should pay kids for doing housework. 主题03 人与自然——人与动植物 Passage 1 （24-25八年级上·广州市第二中学·期末） 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 （24-25八年级上·广东阳江市第二中学·期末） The idea of a pet for an elderly person is one that is often considered. Elderly people may miss their friends and family who are no longer around. However, a kitten (a young cat) is not a good idea for an elderly person. Kittens are tiring. Elderly people, even those in the best of health, will have a lot of difficulty chasing after a kitten. Unluckily, kittens do need a lot of care. They need to be trained not to destroy furniture and not to run up curtains (窗帘), and they need a lot of fun time which an elderly person probably won’t be able to give them. And an elderly person will not want to look for the cat. It needs much physical energy. It is not cheap to care for a cat of any age, but kittens can be particularly expensive. They need to be taken to the animal doctors for regular health checks, especially when they are young. Cat food is usually expensive, and their beds, toys and other things all cost much money. For an elderly person living on a pension (退休金), the cost can be more than they can bear. Provided that an elderly person really does want an animal friend, an older cat would be a much better choice. Getting one from a cats’ home should make sure that it is already well trained. And with a little bit of care, it can live in a home with an elderly person. 5．  From the first paragraph we can learn that the writer wants to ________. A．correct a wrong idea B．introduce a pet C．know about the elderly D．keep a kitten as a pet 6．According to the passage, for elderly people, taking care of a kitten ________. A．is quite a simple task B．helps them exercise their body C．takes too much of their energy D．brings them a lot of pleasure 7．What can we learn from the third paragraph? A．The older cats grow, the more they cost. B．The cost of taking care of kittens is high. C．The regular health checks are useless when a kitten grows up. D．The elderly people can keep a kitten as a pet if they can get more money. 8．What does the underlined word “bear” mean? A．捐赠 B．承担 C．理解 D．控制 9．In which part of a newspaper does the passage most probably appear? A．Life. B．Science. C．Business. D．Nature. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
