专题02 阅读理解(应用文+说明文) 主题01 人与自我——朋友 Passage 1 (24-25八上·湖北武汉汉阳区·期末) Do you have true friends? Do you want to know better between you and your friends? There are three different kinds of friends; “pest friends, “guest friends”, and “best friends”. The first kind of friend is an acquaintance (熟人), and all you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friend at school, or on the bus, but you don’t miss them when they’re not around. When this kind of friend does something bad, you don’t tell them. That is why they are called “pest friends”. The second kind of friend could also be called “social partners”. They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends. You know their names, a little of what they like or dislike, and a little of their family histories; you usually have a few things in common, but you don’t talk about anything deep, such as your wishes or fears, and they don’t open up to you how they really feel. The last kind of friend, the “best friend”, is the one you know the deepest. You’re like family, and know everything about each other. You have no problem staying at each other’s houses, and you share your deepest feelings and thoughts. They will correct you when you’re wrong. They will always care about you, and never do anything on purpose (故意地) to hurt you. We all have our pest, guest, and best friends. We should value (重视) all friendships and remember, all best friends start out as just acquaintances. 1．If Jeff is your acquaintance, what kind of friends are you? A．Pest friends. B．Guest friends. C．Best friends. D．True friends. 2．From the passage, we can learn that ________. A．pest friends are more important than guest friends B．we always miss our best friends when we’re not with them C．a pest friend will never become your best friend D．a best friend never does anything bad to you 3．What do “they” stand for in Paragraph 3? A．Acquaintances. B．True friends. C．Guest friends. D．Your fears. 4．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5．The writer wrote the text mainly to ________. A．teach us how to find best friends B．warn us not to know more about pest friends C．tell us to value all friendships D．encourage us to make more friends 主题02 人与社会——发明与创造 Passage 1 (24-25八上·湖北武汉江岸区·期末) Mabel LeRuzic, aged 90, lives alone—but not really. “He’s my baby,” she holds up a puppy and says. “Huh, Lucky? Say hello!” Lucky barks happily. But Lucky is not a real dog. He is, instead, a robot that looks like a dog. He has eyes that open and close. He turns to face you when you talk. You can even feel his heartbeat under his fur. LeRuzic knows that Lucky is a robot, but ever since she got him, he has made her feel less lonely. LeRuzic enjoys watching TV with him. Every morning, she brushes his fur with a little hairbrush. LeRuzic is not the only one who lives with a robot. In rapidly aging countries like Japan and Italy, robots have been introduced to elderly people who live alone. These robots come in many forms (形式). Some greet you cheerfully and tell you jokes. Some can play music and have a dance party with you. ★ . Studies have found that they can reduce one’s loneliness and blood pressure. Unlike human caregivers, these robots never forget a pill (药片). They never get impatient when you ask a lot questions. But the rise of robot caregivers has also come with some questions. Many young people today are already spending too little time with their grandparents. The use of robot caregivers may make the situation even worse.

In Shanghai, Halloween (万圣节) this year has fewer pumpkins, but a little bit more cosplay (角色扮演) competitions with characters from hit TV dramas and ancient novels. “I think it is so cool that we can use our own culture and jokes to turn this festival into one that has Chinese style.

There is still a long way to go but the team is confident.          2023 Hangzhou Asian Games medals On June 15, the medal of the 19th Asian Games named Shan Shui came out. It expresses the character of Hangzhou as the capital of ecological civilization (生态文明), with green hills and clean water.

They can also be heroes (英雄), saving people’s lives. Ed Crane from the US shared his story about his seizure alert dog (癫痫服务犬) called Zern in a video interview. Zhang Mei, a Xiaohongshu user, posted the video recently on the app after meeting Crane and Zern on a plane, and it got 92,000 likes in just four days. Crane has seizure and that’s why he got Zern. According to Crane, Zern can predict a seizure within an hour before it happens and “tell” him by touching his legs. “Since having Zern, I haven’t had any injuries (受伤).” said Crane. But how does Zern, a dog do this? In a study showed in 2019 in Nature, scientists found that seizures have special smells, and dogs, with their unbelievable sense of smell, can catch these special smells. Zern, trained by Canine Partners for Life, a group in the US, can smell the unique smell Crane gives off before a seizure. Then Zern quickly touches Crane’s legs to tell him. ★ Without this early warning, a seizure could make someone fall over. If it happens during activities like swimming or taking a shower alone, it can be very dangerous. A seizure service dog like Zern can stop injuries from seizures. More importantly, they give people like Ed Crane greater comfort and freedom. 6．We can know Zern ________. A．became famous in TikTok by a video B．was a hero who saved everyone’s life C．could catch some common smells D．could keep its owner’s safety from seizures 7．The underlined word “unique” in paragraph four is the closest to ________.

A．Crane will let Zern run away. B．Crane will play with his pet dog. C．Crane can prepare for the coming seizure. D．Crane knows the dog must be hungry. 10．What can be inferred about seizure alert dogs? A．They are useful and helpful to people with seizures. B．They are all trained by Canine Partners for Life. C．They can catch pleasant smells. D．They’re helpful with swimming. 主题02 人与社会——发明与创造 Passage 1 (24-25八上·湖北武汉江汉区·期末) Recently, a robot called Mobile Aloha caught eyes of many. With short videos of it cooking at someone’s home, it became a hit on the Internet. Developed by a team of scientists at Stanford University, the robot can do everything for a dish. In the videos posted, we can see the robot preparing dishes as it is ordered, from cutting up vegetables to cooking eggs. It can also do other different kinds of housework, like watering plants, petting cats, cleaning the floor and washing clothes. It even knows how to shake the pillow (枕头) after putting it into a pillow cover. Sounds good? Well, another video posted by the team may let you down. In the video, Mobile Aloha carelessly breaks the glasses and plates, runs into a table, and even burns a pot, leaving the kitchen in a mess. The idea of having a robot as a servant may just be wishful thinking. Scientists have been working on this problem for so long. According to the team, the robot can successfully move chairs 80 percent of the time. For cooking dishes, it’s only 40 percent. In short, ★ . Mobile Aloha doesn’t have the self-learning ability and it isn’t good at doing housework on its own. Instead, it learns from human actions before doing each kind of housework. When the situation changes, it can’t work well without a human “teaching” it. It may easily end up making trouble. In fact, AI robots can do better in tasks that need higher reasoning ability, such as doing the math and playing chess. When it comes to simpler actions like cleaning, they face difficulties and act worse than a one-year-old child! And it’s the same for Mobile Aloha. “There is always room for improvement.” The team said. 1．What can Mobile Aloha do in Paragraph 2? A．Order dishes. B．Plant vegetables. C．Feed pet animals. D．Fill up the pillow. 2．Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A．it can’t cook at all B．it’s not very useful C．it may let you down D．it’s far from perfect 3．An AI robot can do best in ________ according to the passage. A． B． C． D． 4．What can we learn about AI robots from the passage? A．They have great self-learning ability. B．They face difficulties in reasoning. C．They need teaching and improving. D．They are no smarter than a little kid. 5．The passage is written to ________. A．show us how AI robots cook B．tell funny stories about a robot C．ask more people to learn about robots D．make us know more about AI robots Passage 2 (23-24八上·湖北武汉黄陂、江夏、蔡甸三区联考·期末) Type in “A cat wants to go to space” and ask the robot to write a bedtime story. Just one second later, you’ll get the story of Max, who was on his way past many difficulties to sing among the stars. This robot writer is real. It’s called ChatGPT. It was developed by US company Open AI. It can translate languages, talk with people and write songs, poems and even jokes. It’s one of the top AI tools of its kind, with almost all the writing range (范围) of a real person! According to a US report of more than 1,000 students, over 89% of them have used ChatGPT to help with homework. Some students even got high marks thanks to papers written by ChatGPT. Some schools in the US, Australia and France have banned the use of ChatGPT. In the US, for example, students and teachers in New York City public schools are not allowed (允许) to use ChatGPT on the networks and devices (设备), CNN reported. The move comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat (作弊) on homework. Some also worry that ChatGPT could bring some problems at the same time. “It does not build critical-thinking (批判性思维) and problem-solving skills, which are necessary for academic (学术的) and lifelong success,” said Jenna Lyle, a secretary of the New York City Department of Education. However, not all educators say “no” to ChatGPT. Some Canadian universities are making policies (政策) on its use, for both students and teachers. They have no plans to completely stop the use of the tool so far. 6．The writer gives the example of “the cat story” in Paragraph 1 mainly to ______. A．introduce a fantastic bedtime book B．tell what ChatGPT can do for animals C．answer how ChatGPT learns about space D．show the creative work by Chat GPT 7．According to Paragraph 2, ChatGPT is able to do many things EXCEPT ______. A．translating languages B．talking with people C．helping with housework D．writing songs, poems and even jokes 8．The underlined word “banned” in Paragraph 3 means ______. A．advised to make B．said no to C．helped to teach D．kept on trying 9．What do we know about ChatGPT from this passage? A．It has both good points and bad points. B．It will take the place of teachers one day. C．It can do everything for humans in the future. D．It isn’t among the top AI tools yet so far. 10．What would be the best title for the passage? A．What’s the Future of Education? B．What Can AI Robots Bring Us? C．Is ChatGPT a Good Study Tool or a Way to Cheat? D．Will ChatGPT Take the Place of Teachers? Passage 3 (23-24八上·湖北武汉汉阳区·期末) A Training Partner Robot    With a mechanical arm throwing a ping-pong ball up and the other arm swinging the racket, an intelligent robot skillfully hit the ball to the player on the other side. Ahead of the FISU Summer Universiade (大运会) in Chengdu, the “training partner robot” has attracted much attention. The robot is about 1 meter in height and is designed specifically for serving practice. The players can also enjoy a relaxing match with the robot. _________    In just 90 seconds, the “mechanical coffee robot” can make a cup of coffee, not only American, latte, cappuccino (卡布奇诺) and other flavors, but also hot and cold of your choice, and free for all customers in the village. A staff member of the Chengdu Universiade told the reporter of the “Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily”, “My favorite thing in the Universiade Village is the high-tech coffee machine, and I can feel energetic immediately when I am tired from work!” A First-aid Robot    “Rongbao”, as the robot is named in the Chengdu Universiade, can deliver emergency kits (急救箱), defibrillators (除颤器) and other medical emergency tools and display an instructional video for using these tools. It can also set remote (远程的) video connections with medical experts for professional guidance. Beyond emergency services, Rongbao can also provide intelligent services such as guiding, translating (翻译), broadcasting information, giving remote calls and so on. 11．In which section of the newspaper can we read the news ________.

People have talked about it a lot online these days. The ideas come from a popular personality (性格) test called MBTI. They test the personality in eight ways. Each way uses a letter to show the meaning. For example: letter “I” means you are shy and letter “E” means you are outgoing. After the test, each person will get a four-letter result to show the personality. In all, there are sixteen kinds of personality in the test. Why do people want to take the MBTI test? Most people take the MBTI test for fun, but some don’t. Here are the survey results from three people by Life Week magazine. “People want to learn about themselves and others,” Guo Yongyu, an expert told the magazine. “When they know themselves and others better, they can learn to be with others. That helps them feel more relaxed.” Gao Yanyi, a middle school student from Shanxi, thinks that the MBTI test can help her find friends with similar MBTI results with her quickly. She adds, “But that should not be the only way to find friends. Sometimes it could make me lose possible good friends with different kinds of MBTI.” Ma Ruina, from Beijing No.4 Middle school, took the test once. He doesn’t want to use it in his life again. It made him feel like it’s limiting (限制) how people can be, as if there were only 16 kinds of people in the world. “Everyone is different, and it’s not right to put people into simple groups.” he says. It can be sure that sixteen kinds of MBTI personality can never tell all the possibilities. I have to say, the personality test is just for fun. Everyone’s personality is different. Don’t let the test tell you who you are. 1．How many ways does MBTI test each person’s personality? A．1. B．4. C．8. D．16. 2．The survey results show that ________. A．Most people take the MBTI test seriously B．Guo Yongyu advises people not to take the test C．Gao Yanyi may use it to help find similar friends D．Ma Ruina agrees to put people into the same groups 3．What is the structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1         ②= Paragraph 2,..) A． B． C． D． 4．What does the writer think of MBTI? A．He thinks people can do it for fun. B．He really agrees with the results. C．He expects more people to take it. D．He thinks it's necessary and useful. 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．16 kinds of personalities. B．MBTI: A new test for students C．Don’t be an “I” person! D．MBTI: Just for Fun or Truly Useful? Passage 2 (23-24八上·湖北武汉洪山区部分学校·期末) “Sunday driver” was a phrase that described someone who drove his car down the highway when enjoying the scenery (风景). These drivers just drove slowly, taking their own sweet time, as if they had nothing to do. However, a Sunday driver wasn’t necessarily someone who needn’t work on a Sunday. A person could be a Sunday driver any day of the week. The phrase simply meant that the person was an obstacle (障碍) to other drivers who were really busy. The phrase probably came out because there was a time when people could go for a relaxing drive on Sunday afternoon. There were many Sunday drivers years ago and especially (特别是) on nice warm sunny days. There were no stores open on Sundays because of the “blue laws” (“周日法规”), so you needed to fill up the gas tank and do any other needed shopping before Sunday arrived. Some states in the US had strict blue laws—Some activities were not allowed (被允许) on Sundays. At that time, very few people worked on Sundays but some important workers such as those in the hospitals. It was a day that people spent resting, visiting neighbors and friends, or maybe going to grandma’s house for supper. Today there are many people who go back to work and children who go back to school feeling tired on Mondays because they don’t have a good rest on weekends. However, there would be less stress-related illnesses if we really keep Sunday as a day of rest. 6．A “Sunday driver” might be the person ________. A．who drives his car on Sundays B．who drives slowly for fun and relaxation C．who enjoys a weekend break D．who does shopping on Sundays 7．According to the passage, ________ used to keep working on Sundays. A．postmen and postwomen B．teachers and professors C．doctors and nurses D．guards and housekeepers 8．According to the passage, Sunday rest would help people ________. A．make more money B．live a healthier life C．feel ‘stressed on Mondays D．get more successful in driving 9．What was not allowed by the “blue laws”? A．Visiting family members and friends on Sundays. B．Staying at home and having a rest on Sundays. C．Having a family party in the neighborhood on Sundays. D．Selling and buying something on Sundays. 10．This passage is mainly to ________. A．show the strict blue laws B．help people find a good way to relax C．tell about the drivers’ activities on Sundays D．introduce the “Sunday driver” 主题01 人与自我——青少年问题 Passage 1 (23-24八上·湖北武汉青山区·期末) Free time is a good chance for teenagers to have fun. What about free time with parents around? Some teenagers want free play without parents’ supervision (监管) while parents and experts may think differently. Lin Tao, a middle school student, thinks teenagers should be free to play. “Last time I played with my parents around, I was nervous (紧张) and just couldn’t enjoy myself to the fullest.” Lin says. “And my friend Chen Xiaoxin has similar experiences. Once, he went out to play with his classmates. Everyone felt uncomfortable with his mother’s supervision.” Wang Min, a mother of a 14-year-old boy, thinks playtime needs supervision. She explains, “People usually say I like to control my kid, but that’s not true. I am just worried that he will get into trouble. Some guys may have a bad influence on him and some games like LARP may mislead him. He might even get indulged in the stories and can’t get back to real life.” Mr. Ma, a doctor of social studies, says it’s understandable for teenagers to wish for freedom. Free play helps them to be independent. Parents can give them more space. They don’t have to supervise them all the time. However, teenagers should find out the exact details (细节) about the activities before playtime. Then they can communicate with their parents and decide together whether they can go out to play alone. 1．For teenagers, free time is a good chance to ________. A．study hard B．mislead parents C．enjoy themselves D．get into trouble 2．Lin Tao supports his own idea by ________. A．giving examples B．listing numbers C．raising (提出) questions D．comparing (比较) facts 3．The underlined words “get indulged in” probably mean ________. A．get interested in B．get lost in C．get worried about D．get tired of 4．Mr. Ma may agree with the idea that ________. A．He Kai’s parents are around every time he plays with his friends B．Liu Xiang goes out without knowing anything about the activities C．Feng Zhongfan’s parents never ask him about whom he plays with D．Xie Hao talks to his parents about the exact details before playtime 5．This passage mainly wants to tell us ________. A．why teenagers need free time to get relaxed B．how teenagers can make full use of their free time C．what teenagers can do to make their free time meaningful D．whether teenagers need parents’ supervision to enjoy free time 主题02 人与社会——电影与戏剧 Passage 1 (23-24八上·湖北武汉武昌区·期末) Do you like watching films? What films do you like best? Here we introduce three Chinese films that were popular in 2023. Chang’anThe film mainly develops (发展) around the lives of the great poets Li Bai and Gao Shi, showing their deep friendship. It also introduces other famous people from that time. In the film, there are many well-known poems (诗) that we can read and learn in today’s textbooks. The film shows the beauty of many old cities, like Chang’an and Tongguan. Never Say Never Never Say Never is adapted (改编) from real-life events. Its director, Mr. Wang, wants to help a group of poor children from small villages. He started to prepare the film in 2017. Describing the film as “a story of finding a way out”, Wang said it not only helped him get out of a difficult situation (情境) but also holds great meaning for his own life. Oh My School! The film is an adaption of a network cartoon series (系列) that came out between 2014 and 2018. This film is set in a junior high school in Changchun Northeast China. It tells the interesting story of Wang Qiang, a naughty student who unexpectedly (意外地) exchanges (交换) bodies with Shi Miaona, a strict teacher, leading to many funny stories. 1．In which section of the newspaper can we read the passage? A．Health. B．Travel. C．Science. D．Art. 2．Chang’an doesn’t show us ________. A．the friendship between Li Bai and Gao Shi B．the lives of some famous people in Song Dynasty C．famous poems in today’s textbooks D．many beautiful old cities 3．The director Mr. Wang ________. A．adapted the film from his own real-life events B．made the film Never Say Never in 2017 C．might be in a difficult situation before the film D．made up the story of this film by himself 4．In the film Oh my School, it’s clear that ________. A．the two main characters may experience each other’s lives B．Wang Qiang exchanges bodies with another student C．Shi Miaona is a teacher in a senior high school D．Wang Qiang wants to exchange bodies with a strict teacher 5．The main purpose (目的) of this passage is to ________. A．show different kinds of movies B．introduce great Chinese films to foreigners C．interest readers to search more information on the Internet D．let more people know about three popular movies in 2023 Passage 2 (23-24八上·湖北武汉江汉区·期末) From the early days of science fiction, movies have given us a picture of the future. When we see a movie, we understand it from different points of view. “Can it be true? How’s that possible?” People often talk to themselves when watching science fiction movies. If you are a doctor, you may think: “That man would die that fall.” If you are a physical scientist: “That’s not how black holes work.” And if you’re me, it’s more like: “What a silly idea of future personal technology (科技)!” Sometimes, it makes me crazy when sci-fi movie makers dream up things. On the other hand, some movies show technologies that are so practical. People make them in the real world. Star Trek’s self-opening doors are now commonly seen at store and hotel, and the driverless cars from Total Recall (and many other movies) are already on roads. It’s clear that Hollywood’s film makers have put serious thoughts into the things we’ll someday carry. For example, there’s a Siri-like voice assistant (助手) in a movie named Her. Her boss talks to her through an earbud (耳机), through which he gets a surprising number of things done such as looking through e-mails and news stories, sending messages and so on. When he needs a picture for the communication, the picture will show up after opening his phone. My only question with Her is that nobody ever gives an order by saying something like “Hey, Siri.” How do the movie’s computers know when you’re speaking to them? Otherwise, it would make a great movie. People go crazy over the idea: having all the power (功能) of a smartphone without really needing a smartphone. We won’t see this happen in the real world, though. Most of these movies, however, still get one thing wrong: Computers make strange sounds like birds singing as their words and pictures appear. Why do movie makers think adding silly sounds make their machines cooler? We’re never going to like that. 6．Which way of writing is used in Paragraph 1? A．Giving examples. B．Listing numbers. C．Beginning with a joke. D．Showing pictures. 7．The driverless cars ________. A．have no future in science B．are everywhere on roads C．help you enter a hotel D．are dreams came true 8．The Siri-like voice assistant in Paragraph 3 ________. A．is in the shape of an earbud B．sees her boss as a human servant C．talks like a human D．can draw beautiful pictures by hand 9．What will probably happen according to last two paragraphs? A．We don’t need smartphones anymore. B．We don’t add cooler sounds to our phones. C．People like their computers make louder sounds. D．People enjoy a room full of noisy computers. 10．What would be the best title for the passage? A．How Well do Movies Predict Our Tech Future? B．What Can We Believe in Movies? C．Predictions in Movies are Future Life D．Sci-fi Movies Get Everything Wrong 主题02人与社会——发明与创造 Passage 1 (23-24八上·湖北武汉洪山区部分学校·期末) Pick the sounds you want    Do you wear noise-canceling earphones (降噪耳机)? They can keep noise out. But sometimes, they can be dangerous when you cross a busy street and need to hear some noises around you. The US scientists made a new AI. It lets people pick a sound. If you pick the sound of people’s voices, all you will hear in the headphones is that sound. People can pick from 20 kinds of sounds, such as bird sounds and baby cries. ________     Check out this Wind Tree! It looks like a tree with 36 green “leaves”, but it’s a small wind turbine (涡轮机). It’s about 5 to 10 meters tall and easy to build. Each “leaf” can turn with the wind and create electricity (电). It can make 18, 000 kilowatt-hours (千瓦时) of energy in a year.

Since then, 13 Chinese astronauts have “reached for the stars”. Zhai Zhigang,Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu are three them. They carried out lots of important missions. Have you ever dreamed of becoming an astronaut like them? How did they get there? To be an astronaut, you need to be very healthy. Good eyesight, a strong heart and lungs are important. You’d better not have other small problems. For example, a decayed tooth (蛀牙) could get worse in space and bring trouble to astronauts, as Pang Zhihao, a space scientist, told the Beijing Morning Post. You also need to become stronger with hard training. You must fly more than 600 hours without accidents. Besides, you need to build your muscles as strong as athletes by running and swimming. You will also wear a 200-kilogram suit and do tasks underwater for six or seven hours without eating or going to the toilet. This is like doing tasks during a spacewalk. Knowledge is important as well. Astronauts take 60 courses to get ready for a mission, including math, English, spacecraft design, physics and many more. So they will know what to do when emergencies (突发事件) happen during the mission (任务). 6．Among all the 13 Chinese astronauts, ________ is the first astronaut into space. A．Yang Liwei B．Zhai Zhigang C．Wang Yaping D．Ye Guangfu 7．Among the four students below, who has the most chances of becoming an astronaut? A．Mary—She is healthy and just has a decayed tooth.

Do you want to know better between you and your friends? There are three different kinds of friends; “pest friends, “guest friends”, and “best friends”. The first kind of friend is an acquaintance (熟人), and all you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friend at school, or on the bus, but you don’t miss them when they’re not around. When this kind of friend does something bad, you don’t tell them. That is why they are called “pest friends”. The second kind of friend could also be called “social partners”. They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends. You know their names, a little of what they like or dislike, and a little of their family histories; you usually have a few things in common, but you don’t talk about anything deep, such as your wishes or fears, and they don’t open up to you how they really feel. The last kind of friend, the “best friend”, is the one you know the deepest. You’re like family, and know everything about each other. You have no problem staying at each other’s houses, and you share your deepest feelings and thoughts. They will correct you when you’re wrong. They will always care about you, and never do anything on purpose (故意地) to hurt you. We all have our pest, guest, and best friends. We should value (重视) all friendships and remember, all best friends start out as just acquaintances. 1．If Jeff is your acquaintance, what kind of friends are you? A．Pest friends. B．Guest friends. C．Best friends. D．True friends. 2．From the passage, we can learn that ________. A．pest friends are more important than guest friends B．we always miss our best friends when we’re not with them C．a pest friend will never become your best friend D．a best friend never does anything bad to you 3．What do “they” stand for in Paragraph 3? A．Acquaintances. B．True friends. C．Guest friends. D．Your fears. 4．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5．The writer wrote the text mainly to ________. A．teach us how to find best friends B．warn us not to know more about pest friends C．tell us to value all friendships D．encourage us to make more friends 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文介绍了三种不同类型的朋友：熟人、社交伙伴和至交好友，并强调了珍视所有友谊的重要性。 1．细节理解题。根据“The first kind of friend is an acquaintance (熟人), and all you usually know about them is their names. ... That is why they are called ‘pest friends’.”可知，熟人属于“pest friends”，所以如果Jeff是你的熟人，你们是“pest friends”。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“They will always care about you, and never do anything on purpose (故意地) to hurt you.”可知，最好的朋友从不会对你做不好的事。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据“The second kind of friend could also be called ‘social partners’. ... but they don’t open up to you how they really feel.” 可知，这里的“they”指的是第二种朋友，也就是“guest friends”，故选C。 4．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，文章第一段引出三种朋友；第二、三、四段是具体介绍；第五段总结全文。因此本文是总分总结构。故选B。 5．推理判断题。根据最后一段“We should value (重视) all friendships and remember, all best friends start out as just acquaintances. (我们应该珍惜所有的友谊，并记住，所有最好的朋友都是从熟人开始的)”可推知，作者写这篇文章主要是告诉我们要重视所有的友谊。故选C。 主题02 人与社会——发明与创造 Passage 1 (24-25八上·湖北武汉江岸区·期末) Mabel LeRuzic, aged 90, lives alone—but not really. “He’s my baby,” she holds up a puppy and says. “Huh, Lucky?

They can also be heroes (英雄), saving people’s lives. Ed Crane from the US shared his story about his seizure alert dog (癫痫服务犬) called Zern in a video interview. Zhang Mei, a Xiaohongshu user, posted the video recently on the app after meeting Crane and Zern on a plane, and it got 92,000 likes in just four days. Crane has seizure and that’s why he got Zern. According to Crane, Zern can predict a seizure within an hour before it happens and “tell” him by touching his legs. “Since having Zern, I haven’t had any injuries (受伤).” said Crane. But how does Zern, a dog do this? In a study showed in 2019 in Nature, scientists found that seizures have special smells, and dogs, with their unbelievable sense of smell, can catch these special smells. Zern, trained by Canine Partners for Life, a group in the US, can smell the unique smell Crane gives off before a seizure. Then Zern quickly touches Crane’s legs to tell him. ★ Without this early warning, a seizure could make someone fall over. If it happens during activities like swimming or taking a shower alone, it can be very dangerous. A seizure service dog like Zern can stop injuries from seizures. More importantly, they give people like Ed Crane greater comfort and freedom. 6．We can know Zern ________.

With short videos of it cooking at someone’s home, it became a hit on the Internet. Developed by a team of scientists at Stanford University, the robot can do everything for a dish. In the videos posted, we can see the robot preparing dishes as it is ordered, from cutting up vegetables to cooking eggs. It can also do other different kinds of housework, like watering plants, petting cats, cleaning the floor and washing clothes. It even knows how to shake the pillow (枕头) after putting it into a pillow cover. Sounds good? Well, another video posted by the team may let you down. In the video, Mobile Aloha carelessly breaks the glasses and plates, runs into a table, and even burns a pot, leaving the kitchen in a mess. The idea of having a robot as a servant may just be wishful thinking. Scientists have been working on this problem for so long. According to the team, the robot can successfully move chairs 80 percent of the time. For cooking dishes, it’s only 40 percent. In short, ★ . Mobile Aloha doesn’t have the self-learning ability and it isn’t good at doing housework on its own. Instead, it learns from human actions before doing each kind of housework. When the situation changes, it can’t work well without a human “teaching” it. It may easily end up making trouble. In fact, AI robots can do better in tasks that need higher reasoning ability, such as doing the math and playing chess. When it comes to simpler actions like cleaning, they face difficulties and act worse than a one-year-old child! And it’s the same for Mobile Aloha. “There is always room for improvement.” The team said. 1．What can Mobile Aloha do in Paragraph 2? A．Order dishes. B．Plant vegetables. C．Feed pet animals. D．Fill up the pillow. 2．Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A．it can’t cook at all B．it’s not very useful C．it may let you down D．it’s far from perfect 3．An AI robot can do best in ________ according to the passage.

D．They are no smarter than a little kid. 5．The passage is written to ________. A．show us how AI robots cook B．tell funny stories about a robot C．ask more people to learn about robots D．make us know more about AI robots 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文讲了斯坦福大学研发的烹饪家务机器人Mobile Aloha虽然功能多样但尚不成熟，存在诸多问题，且更适合处理高推理能力任务。 1．细节理解题。根据“....after putting it into a pillow cover.”可知，Mobile Aloha会把枕头塞到枕头套里。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据“According to the team, the robot can successfully move chairs 80 percent of the time. For cooking dishes, it’s only 40 percent.”可知，Mobile Aloha做事情的成功率还不能达到100%，也就是说它远非完美。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“In fact, AI robots can do better in tasks that need higher reasoning ability, such as doing the math and playing chess.”可知，人工智能机器人在处理需要更高推理能力的任务时，如做数学题和下棋，能表现得更好。因此做数学题时它表现最好。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“When the situation changes, it can’t work well without a human ‘teaching’ it.”和“There is always room for improvement.”可知，人工智能机器人没有人类的“教导”就无法很好地工作，并且它们还有很大的改进空间，由此可知它们需要教导和改进。故选C。 5．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文向我们介绍了烹饪家务机器人Mobile Aloha的相关信息，旨在让我们了解更多关于人工智能机器人的信息。故选D。 Passage 2 (23-24八上·湖北武汉黄陂、江夏、蔡甸三区联考·期末) Type in “A cat wants to go to space” and ask the robot to write a bedtime story. Just one second later, you’ll get the story of Max, who was on his way past many difficulties to sing among the stars. This robot writer is real. It’s called ChatGPT. It was developed by US company Open AI. It can translate languages, talk with people and write songs, poems and even jokes. It’s one of the top AI tools of its kind, with almost all the writing range (范围) of a real person! According to a US report of more than 1,000 students, over 89% of them have used ChatGPT to help with homework. Some students even got high marks thanks to papers written by ChatGPT. Some schools in the US, Australia and France have banned the use of ChatGPT. In the US, for example, students and teachers in New York City public schools are not allowed (允许) to use ChatGPT on the networks and devices (设备), CNN reported. The move comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat (作弊) on homework. Some also worry that ChatGPT could bring some problems at the same time. “It does not build critical-thinking (批判性思维) and problem-solving skills, which are necessary for academic (学术的) and lifelong success,” said Jenna Lyle, a secretary of the New York City Department of Education. However, not all educators say “no” to ChatGPT. Some Canadian universities are making policies (政策) on its use, for both students and teachers. They have no plans to completely stop the use of the tool so far. 6．The writer gives the example of “the cat story” in Paragraph 1 mainly to ______. A．introduce a fantastic bedtime book B．tell what ChatGPT can do for animals C．answer how ChatGPT learns about space D．show the creative work by Chat GPT 7．According to Paragraph 2, ChatGPT is able to do many things EXCEPT ______. A．translating languages B．talking with people C．helping with housework D．writing songs, poems and even jokes 8．The underlined word “banned” in Paragraph 3 means ______. A．advised to make B．said no to C．helped to teach D．kept on trying 9．What do we know about ChatGPT from this passage? A．It has both good points and bad points. B．It will take the place of teachers one day. C．It can do everything for humans in the future. D．It isn’t among the top AI tools yet so far. 10．What would be the best title for the passage? A．What’s the Future of Education? B．What Can AI Robots Bring Us? C．Is ChatGPT a Good Study Tool or a Way to Cheat? D．Will ChatGPT Take the Place of Teachers? 【答案】6．D 7．C 8．B 9．A 10．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了ChatGPT的功能以及它的劣势和学校对此的措施。 6．推理判断题。根据“Type in ‘A cat wants to go to space’ and ask the robot to write a bedtime story. Just one second later, you’ll get the story of Max, who was on his way past many difficulties to sing among the stars”可知作者以这个例子说明ChatGPT可以做创造性的工作。故选D。 7．细节理解题。根据“ It can translate languages, talk with people and write songs, poems and even jokes”可知它可以翻译语言，与人交谈，写歌、诗歌甚至笑话。故选C。 8．词义猜测题。根据“Some schools in the US, Australia and France have banned the use of ChatGPT. In the US, for example, students and teachers in New York City public schools are not allowed (允许) to use ChatGPT on the networks and devices”可知在美国，纽约市公立学校的学生和教师是不允许在网络和设备上使用ChatGPT，所以是禁止使用ChatGPT，故此处划线部分意为“对……说不”。故选B。 9．细节理解题。根据“It can translate languages, talk with people and write songs, poems and even jokes”以及“The move comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat (作弊) on homework”可知ChatGPT有优势，也有劣势。故选A。 10．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了ChatGPT的功能以及它的劣势和学校对此的措施，以选项C“Chat是一个很好的学习工具还是一种作弊方式”为标题最合适。故选C。 Passage 3 (23-24八上·湖北武汉汉阳区·期末) A Training Partner Robot    With a mechanical arm throwing a ping-pong ball up and the other arm swinging the racket, an intelligent robot skillfully hit the ball to the player on the other side.

People have talked about it a lot online these days. The ideas come from a popular personality (性格) test called MBTI. They test the personality in eight ways. Each way uses a letter to show the meaning. For example: letter “I” means you are shy and letter “E” means you are outgoing. After the test, each person will get a four-letter result to show the personality. In all, there are sixteen kinds of personality in the test. Why do people want to take the MBTI test? Most people take the MBTI test for fun, but some don’t. Here are the survey results from three people by Life Week magazine. “People want to learn about themselves and others,” Guo Yongyu, an expert told the magazine. “When they know themselves and others better, they can learn to be with others. That helps them feel more relaxed.” Gao Yanyi, a middle school student from Shanxi, thinks that the MBTI test can help her find friends with similar MBTI results with her quickly. She adds, “But that should not be the only way to find friends. Sometimes it could make me lose possible good friends with different kinds of MBTI.” Ma Ruina, from Beijing No.4 Middle school, took the test once. He doesn’t want to use it in his life again. It made him feel like it’s limiting (限制) how people can be, as if there were only 16 kinds of people in the world. “Everyone is different, and it’s not right to put people into simple groups.” he says. It can be sure that sixteen kinds of MBTI personality can never tell all the possibilities. I have to say, the personality test is just for fun. Everyone’s personality is different. Don’t let the test tell you who you are. 1．How many ways does MBTI test each person’s personality? A．1. B．4. C．8. D．16. 2．The survey results show that ________. A．Most people take the MBTI test seriously B．Guo Yongyu advises people not to take the test C．Gao Yanyi may use it to help find similar friends D．Ma Ruina agrees to put people into the same groups 3．What is the structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1         ②= Paragraph 2,..) A． B． C． D． 4．What does the writer think of MBTI? A．He thinks people can do it for fun. B．He really agrees with the results. C．He expects more people to take it. D．He thinks it's necessary and useful. 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．16 kinds of personalities. B．MBTI: A new test for students C．Don’t be an “I” person! D．MBTI: Just for Fun or Truly Useful? 【答案1．C 2．C 3．D 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了一种流行的性格测试MBTI，讨论了其结果的娱乐性及其对性格判断的局限性。 1．细节理解题。根据“The ideas come from a popular personality (性格) test called MBTI. They test the personality in eight ways.”可知，MBTI测试通过八个维度来分析人格。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Gao Yanyi, a middle school student from Shanxi, thinks that the MBTI test can help her find friends with similar MBTI results with her quickly. ”可知，Gao Yanyi认为，MBTI 测试可以帮助她快速找到与自己MBTI结果相似的朋友。故选C。 3．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，文章第一段阐述MBTI的定义；第二段承上启下；第三、四、五段介绍三个人的观点；第六段总结全文。选项D符合文章篇章结构。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据“I have to say, the personality test is just for fun.

These drivers just drove slowly, taking their own sweet time, as if they had nothing to do. However, a Sunday driver wasn’t necessarily someone who needn’t work on a Sunday. A person could be a Sunday driver any day of the week. The phrase simply meant that the person was an obstacle (障碍) to other drivers who were really busy. The phrase probably came out because there was a time when people could go for a relaxing drive on Sunday afternoon. There were many Sunday drivers years ago and especially (特别是) on nice warm sunny days. There were no stores open on Sundays because of the “blue laws” (“周日法规”), so you needed to fill up the gas tank and do any other needed shopping before Sunday arrived. Some states in the US had strict blue laws—Some activities were not allowed (被允许) on Sundays. At that time, very few people worked on Sundays but some important workers such as those in the hospitals. It was a day that people spent resting, visiting neighbors and friends, or maybe going to grandma’s house for supper. Today there are many people who go back to work and children who go back to school feeling tired on Mondays because they don’t have a good rest on weekends. However, there would be less stress-related illnesses if we really keep Sunday as a day of rest. 6．A “Sunday driver” might be the person ________. A．who drives his car on Sundays B．who drives slowly for fun and relaxation C．who enjoys a weekend break D．who does shopping on Sundays 7．According to the passage, ________ used to keep working on Sundays. A．postmen and postwomen B．teachers and professors C．doctors and nurses D．guards and housekeepers 8．According to the passage, Sunday rest would help people ________. A．make more money B．live a healthier life C．feel ‘stressed on Mondays D．get more successful in driving 9．What was not allowed by the “blue laws”? A．Visiting family members and friends on Sundays. B．Staying at home and having a rest on Sundays. C．Having a family party in the neighborhood on Sundays. D．Selling and buying something on Sundays. 10．This passage is mainly to ________. A．show the strict blue laws B．help people find a good way to relax C．tell about the drivers’ activities on Sundays D．introduce the “Sunday driver” 【答案】6．B 7．C 8．B 9．D 10．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍“周日司机”的相关内容。 6．细节理解题。根据““Sunday driver” was a phrase that described someone who drove his car down the highway when enjoying the scenery (风景).”可知，“周日司机”是一个短语，用来形容那些在高速公路上开车欣赏风景的人。故B选。 7．细节理解题。根据“At that time, very few people worked on Sundays but some important workers such as those in the hospitals.”可知，在那个时候，很少有人在星期天工作，但一些重要的工人，如那些在医院。所以医生和护士过去常常在星期天继续工作。故选C。 8．细节理解题。根据“However, there would be less stress-related illnesses if we really keep Sunday as a day of rest.”可知，如果我们真的把星期天作为休息日，就会少一些与压力有关的疾病。所以周日休息可以帮助人们过上更健康的生活。故选B。 9．细节理解题。根据“There were no stores open on Sundays because of the ‘blue laws’ (‘周日法规’)”可知，由于“蓝色法律”，星期天没有商店开门。所以在星期天买卖东西是不允许的，故选D。 10．主旨大意题。本文主要介绍“周日司机”的相关内容，故选D。 主题01 人与自我——青少年问题 Passage 1 (23-24八上·湖北武汉青山区·期末) Free time is a good chance for teenagers to have fun. What about free time with parents around? Some teenagers want free play without parents’ supervision (监管) while parents and experts may think differently. Lin Tao, a middle school student, thinks teenagers should be free to play. “Last time I played with my parents around, I was nervous (紧张) and just couldn’t enjoy myself to the fullest.” Lin says. “And my friend Chen Xiaoxin has similar experiences. Once, he went out to play with his classmates. Everyone felt uncomfortable with his mother’s supervision.” Wang Min, a mother of a 14-year-old boy, thinks playtime needs supervision. She explains, “People usually say I like to control my kid, but that’s not true. I am just worried that he will get into trouble. Some guys may have a bad influence on him and some games like LARP may mislead him. He might even get indulged in the stories and can’t get back to real life.” Mr. Ma, a doctor of social studies, says it’s understandable for teenagers to wish for freedom. Free play helps them to be independent. Parents can give them more space. They don’t have to supervise them all the time. However, teenagers should find out the exact details (细节) about the activities before playtime. Then they can communicate with their parents and decide together whether they can go out to play alone. 1．For teenagers, free time is a good chance to ________. A．study hard B．mislead parents C．enjoy themselves D．get into trouble 2．Lin Tao supports his own idea by ________. A．giving examples B．listing numbers C．raising (提出) questions D．comparing (比较) facts 3．The underlined words “get indulged in” probably mean ________.

A．why teenagers need free time to get relaxed B．how teenagers can make full use of their free time C．what teenagers can do to make their free time meaningful D．whether teenagers need parents’ supervision to enjoy free time 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。就青少年空闲时间是否需要家长监督进行讨论，给出了几个学生的看法以及专家的建议。 1．细节理解题。根据“Free time is a good chance for teenagers to have fun.”可知，空闲时间是青少年玩乐的好机会。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据“Last time I played with my parents around, I was nervous and just couldn’t enjoy myself to the fullest.”和 “And my friend Chen Xiaoxin has similar experiences. Once, he went out to play with his classmates. Everyone felt uncomfortable with his mother’s supervision.”可知，林涛用自己和同学的例子支持自己的观点。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据“Some guys may have a bad influence on him and some games like LARP may mislead him. He might even get indulged in the stories and can’t get back to real life.”可知，有些活动可能对他有不良影响，比如剧本杀，可能会让孩子们无法回到现实生活中，由此可猜测get indulged in的意思是“沉迷，迷失”。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“However, teenagers should find out the exact details about the activities before playtime. Then they can communicate with their parents and decide together whether they can go out to play alone.”可知，马博士认为青少年应该在游戏前弄清活动的具体细节，然后他们可以和父母交流，一起决定他们是否可以单独出去玩。故选D。 5．主旨大意题。根据“What about free time with parents around?

Describing the film as “a story of finding a way out”, Wang said it not only helped him get out of a difficult situation (情境) but also holds great meaning for his own life. Oh My School! The film is an adaption of a network cartoon series (系列) that came out between 2014 and 2018. This film is set in a junior high school in Changchun Northeast China.

When we see a movie, we understand it from different points of view. “Can it be true? How’s that possible?” People often talk to themselves when watching science fiction movies. If you are a doctor, you may think: “That man would die that fall.” If you are a physical scientist: “That’s not how black holes work.” And if you’re me, it’s more like: “What a silly idea of future personal technology (科技)!” Sometimes, it makes me crazy when sci-fi movie makers dream up things. On the other hand, some movies show technologies that are so practical. People make them in the real world. Star Trek’s self-opening doors are now commonly seen at store and hotel, and the driverless cars from Total Recall (and many other movies) are already on roads. It’s clear that Hollywood’s film makers have put serious thoughts into the things we’ll someday carry. For example, there’s a Siri-like voice assistant (助手) in a movie named Her. Her boss talks to her through an earbud (耳机), through which he gets a surprising number of things done such as looking through e-mails and news stories, sending messages and so on. When he needs a picture for the communication, the picture will show up after opening his phone. My only question with Her is that nobody ever gives an order by saying something like “Hey, Siri.” How do the movie’s computers know when you’re speaking to them? Otherwise, it would make a great movie. People go crazy over the idea: having all the power (功能) of a smartphone without really needing a smartphone. We won’t see this happen in the real world, though. Most of these movies, however, still get one thing wrong: Computers make strange sounds like birds singing as their words and pictures appear. Why do movie makers think adding silly sounds make their machines cooler? We’re never going to like that. 6．Which way of writing is used in Paragraph 1? A．Giving examples. B．Listing numbers. C．Beginning with a joke. D．Showing pictures. 7．The driverless cars ________. A．have no future in science B．are everywhere on roads C．help you enter a hotel D．are dreams came true 8．The Siri-like voice assistant in Paragraph 3 ________. A．is in the shape of an earbud B．sees her boss as a human servant C．talks like a human D．can draw beautiful pictures by hand 9．What will probably happen according to last two paragraphs? A．We don’t need smartphones anymore. B．We don’t add cooler sounds to our phones. C．People like their computers make louder sounds. D．People enjoy a room full of noisy computers. 10．What would be the best title for the passage? A．How Well do Movies Predict Our Tech Future? B．What Can We Believe in Movies? C．Predictions in Movies are Future Life D．Sci-fi Movies Get Everything Wrong 【答案】6．A 7．D 8．C 9．B 10．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了科幻电影向我们展示了未来的图景，一些电影展示了非常实用的技术，作者通过举例Siri的语音助手这项科技提出了自己的疑惑。 6．推理判断题。根据“ ‘Can it be true? How’s that possible?’ People often talk to themselves when watching science fiction movies. If you are a doctor, you may think: ‘That man would die that fall.’ If you are a physical scientist: ‘That’s not how black holes work.’ And if you’re me, it’s more like: ‘What a silly idea of future personal technology (科技)!’”可知，作者通过举例子的方式来介绍，故选A。 7．细节理解题。根据“On the other hand, some movies show technologies that are so practical. People make them in the real world…the driverless cars from Total Recall (and many other movies) are already on roads”可知，无人驾驶汽车已经实现了，故选D。 8．推理判断题。根据“For example, there’s a Siri-like voice assistant (助手) in a movie named Her. Her boss talks to her through an earbud…”可知，这个语音助手可以像人一样聊天，故选C。 9．推理判断题。根据“Why do movie makers think adding silly sounds make their machines cooler? We’re never going to like that.”可知，作者认为电影里面添加的声音很愚蠢，人们是不会喜欢那样的，由此可推断，我们不会把这样的声音添加到手机里，故选B。 10．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了科幻电影向我们展示了未来的图景，一些电影展示了非常实用的技术，作者通过举例Siri的语音助手这项科技提出了自己的疑惑，所以适合本文的标题是“电影如何预测我们的科技未来”，故选A。 主题02人与社会——发明与创造 Passage 1 (23-24八上·湖北武汉洪山区部分学校·期末) Pick the sounds you want    Do you wear noise-canceling earphones (降噪耳机)? They can keep noise out. But sometimes, they can be dangerous when you cross a busy street and need to hear some noises around you. The US scientists made a new AI. It lets people pick a sound.

Since then, 13 Chinese astronauts have “reached for the stars”. Zhai Zhigang,Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu are three them. They carried out lots of important missions. Have you ever dreamed of becoming an astronaut like them? How did they get there? To be an astronaut, you need to be very healthy. Good eyesight, a strong heart and lungs are important. You’d better not have other small problems. For example, a decayed tooth (蛀牙) could get worse in space and bring trouble to astronauts, as Pang Zhihao, a space scientist, told the Beijing Morning Post. You also need to become stronger with hard training. You must fly more than 600 hours without accidents. Besides, you need to build your muscles as strong as athletes by running and swimming. You will also wear a 200-kilogram suit and do tasks underwater for six or seven hours without eating or going to the toilet. This is like doing tasks during a spacewalk. Knowledge is important as well. Astronauts take 60 courses to get ready for a mission, including math, English, spacecraft design, physics and many more. So they will know what to do when emergencies (突发事件) happen during the mission (任务). 6．Among all the 13 Chinese astronauts, ________ is the first astronaut into space.
