The crow made fun of the swans when he watched them. “You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, of course not. Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!” One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan. Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, feeling proud. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was feeling more and more tired. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to stop himself from falling into the water. The swan pretended (假装) not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?” “No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life...” The swan took pity on him, and took him on his shoulders and flew back to the beach. 1．Who took up the challenge of the crow? A．One of the male swans.

They flew on and on… falling into the water.”和“The swan took pity on him, and took him on his shoulders and flew back to the beach.”可知，乌鸦先是嘲笑天鹅的飞翔技术，天鹅接受了乌鸦的挑战，乌鸦先展示了它的飞行技巧，然后乌鸦跟着天鹅飞遇到了麻烦，再就是乌鸦向天鹅求救，天鹅同情乌鸦，救了它，即b-e-a-d-c，故选D。 4．主旨大意题。通读全篇可知，这篇短文中骄傲的乌鸦由于骄傲，挑战天鹅，最后被它瞧不起的天鹅救了命，从而告诉我们骄傲使人落后的道理，选项B“骄者必败。”符合题意。故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25八年级上·广东省广州市第四中学·期末） At times, everything is going to go south on you.

These bricks were sent to China’s space station on the Tianzhou-8 cargo spaceship. The team working on this project plans to shape the bricks using mortise and tenon joints (榫卯结构), a method from ancient buildings, to build an egg-shaped house on the moon, according to a CCTV report. ②The moon has always been an important goal for space exploration (探索). Many countries have made long-term plans for human activities on the moon. China hopes to send astronauts there by 2030 and build a research station by 2035. A lab in Wuhan, China, has created a sandbox to show how a future moon base might be built. ③Ding Lieyun, the leader of the team making the lunar soil bricks, said building on the moon is very hard. The moon has difficult environments, including no water, low gravity (重力), big temperature changes, and frequent small earthquakes (地震). These make the building process very difficult. ④After many tests, the team chose a two-layer dome design called the “lunar pot”, This design is light, uses fewer materials, and works well for keeping warm and staying strong. Inside, the house will have two levels: one for working and one for resting. ⑤The bricks will be made using a method from ancient Chinese building styles. Robots will put the bricks together, and 3D printing will make the structure stronger. These ideas are based on data from the U.S. Apollo program and China’s Chang’e-5 moon mission. ⑥The lunar bricks are now being tested in space to see if they can go through the difficult environment. The first brick should return to Earth by 2025, bringing us closer to building homes on the moon. 1．Which of the followings is the right shape of the house on the moon?

He waited until the weather was perfect: early autumn — crisp but not cold. He wore a blue sweater and his worn-out old shoes. His gloves (手套) were so thick that they could keep him away from the hurt from the tree trunk. He was ready. “Wait here,” he told his dog, Harvey. “I’ll be back later.” The tree was his special place so he didn’t want to share it with anyone else. Doug jumped for the lowest branch. He nearly slipped (打滑) but held on. Using all his strength, he pulled himself up. He continued slowly and carefully. He was in no hurry because he had all day. Halfway up the tree, Doug took a break. He didn’t feel tired but wanted to rest before getting tired out. “Hello,” he said to a passing butterfly. “Any advice for me?” The butterfly didn’t reply. Doug didn’t need her help anyway. It was time to continue. He was just a few branches from the top. Suddenly, something terrible happened. He lifted his left leg and placed it onto the next branch. The wood was old and weak. It broke and fell to the ground. Doug was watching and prepared. As his left foot slipped, he held himself in the air with his arms. Breathing slowly, he moved his legs forward and stepped onto the next branch. He was safe again. “That’s enough for today,” he said. “The top can wait.” He tied his legs to the strongest branch and sat against the trunk. He took out a book and it was time to read.

These bricks were sent to China’s space station on the Tianzhou-8 cargo spaceship. The team working on this project plans to shape the bricks using mortise and tenon joints (榫卯结构), a method from ancient buildings, to build an egg-shaped house on the moon, according to a CCTV report. ②The moon has always been an important goal for space exploration (探索). Many countries have made long-term plans for human activities on the moon. China hopes to send astronauts there by 2030 and build a research station by 2035. A lab in Wuhan, China, has created a sandbox to show how a future moon base might be built. ③Ding Lieyun, the leader of the team making the lunar soil bricks, said building on the moon is very hard. The moon has difficult environments, including no water, low gravity (重力), big temperature changes, and frequent small earthquakes (地震). These make the building process very difficult. ④After many tests, the team chose a two-layer dome design called the “lunar pot”, This design is light, uses fewer materials, and works well for keeping warm and staying strong. Inside, the house will have two levels: one for working and one for resting. ⑤The bricks will be made using a method from ancient Chinese building styles. Robots will put the bricks together, and 3D printing will make the structure stronger. These ideas are based on data from the U.S. Apollo program and China’s Chang’e-5 moon mission. ⑥The lunar bricks are now being tested in space to see if they can go through the difficult environment. The first brick should return to Earth by 2025, bringing us closer to building homes on the moon. 1．Which of the followings is the right shape of the house on the moon? A．B． C． D． 2．What does the underlined word “These” refer to in Paragraph 3? A．The lunar soil bricks. B．Difficult environments.

He waited until the weather was perfect: early autumn — crisp but not cold. He wore a blue sweater and his worn-out old shoes. His gloves (手套) were so thick that they could keep him away from the hurt from the tree trunk. He was ready. “Wait here,” he told his dog, Harvey. “I’ll be back later.” The tree was his special place so he didn’t want to share it with anyone else. Doug jumped for the lowest branch. He nearly slipped (打滑) but held on. Using all his strength, he pulled himself up. He continued slowly and carefully. He was in no hurry because he had all day. Halfway up the tree, Doug took a break. He didn’t feel tired but wanted to rest before getting tired out. “Hello,” he said to a passing butterfly. “Any advice for me?” The butterfly didn’t reply. Doug didn’t need her help anyway. It was time to continue. He was just a few branches from the top. Suddenly, something terrible happened. He lifted his left leg and placed it onto the next branch. The wood was old and weak. It broke and fell to the ground. Doug was watching and prepared. As his left foot slipped, he held himself in the air with his arms. Breathing slowly, he moved his legs forward and stepped onto the next branch.
