Also, there was the food and other things that needed to be put in a safe place from animals and rain. I went back down the hill and found a river. This, I thought, would be a good place for me.“Here,” I thought, “I can get my drinking water, and over there is a cave, where I can put all the food.” And so, over the next month, I built my home.

I did this because it made me feel safer from animals and men. The walls were high, and there was no door. You had to climb a ladder to get in. Every night, before falling to sleep, tired with the day’s work, I had time to think. And every night, the same thoughts came. I thought about my friends, who had all been taken from me by the sea. Why was I not also taken? Was I lucky to be alive, here, alone, on this island? Was I alone? Were there other people here? Were they dangerous to me? And every night, I would ease my thoughts, by saying, “Be happy that you have food and something over your head to keep the rain out. Wish for nothing more. Work hard every day, and wait as long as you have to. One day a ship may pass. Be ready for that ship at all times.” 1．Where did Robinson sleep for the first night? A．In a cave. B．In a tree.

Basil!” shouted worriedly the little old lady, standing in the middle of the road. “Are you all right, Mrs. Jackson?” asked Dan, looking at her. Mrs. Jackson lived in a small house at the end of Dan’s street. But now she was standing in the middle of the road. A worrying look was on her face because her dog was lost. First she looked one way up the street. Then she looked the other way. She didn’t hear Dan or see him. “Mrs. Jackson,” said Dan again more loudly. “Are you OK?” This time Mrs. Jackson heard him. She looked at him over the top of her small round glasses. “Oh, Dan,” she cried sadly. “It’s you. No, I’m not OK. I can’t find Basil. He went into the garden this morning and now I don’t know where he is.” “Basil!” she shouted again. Basil was Mrs. Jackson’s dog. He was a long brown dog like a sausage (脂肠) with little short legs. Dan thought that Basil was funny looking but he was quite sweet. Of course, Dan liked Dylan, his own dog better. And right now Dylan was sitting by Dan’s feet. He was looking at Mrs. Jackson, his head on one side. He knew that something was wrong. “It’s not like Basil to run away,” said Mrs. Jackson sadly. “He’s such a good dog usually.

They were surprised by the Chinese tea garden in the city’s Botanical Garden (植物园). There, they saw 6,000 tea trees and a group of farmers from China. The farmers were making tea the same way they had in China. But how did tea get to Brazil? In the early 1400s, some sailors from Portugal (葡萄牙水手) drank tea for the first time in China. They thought it was very good, so they started to bring it back to Portugal. In 1640, King John IV of Portugal had a bigger idea. He wanted to know if tea could be grown in Brazil because it was a colony (殖民地) of Portugal at that time. He organized some people to do that. However, the plan wasn’t successful. In the early 19th century (世纪), the first tea plants were sent to Brazil. Some Chinese tea farmers were already prepared to start working there. More farmers would arrive later on. Many things about the farmers can be found in history books of Portugal from that time. In these books, you can see their names, how they grew tea and even how they celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival. By then, they were making great tea. Brazil’s Emperor Dom Pedro I really liked tea. He was very clever and he thought it could make his country rich. In 1825, he started spreading (传播) tea farming and tea culture across Brazil. This exchange (交流) between China and Brazil helped Brazil’s tea farming grow. Brazil became the third country to make tea, after China and Japan.

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. C．Big temperature changes D．Small earthquakes. 3．What can we infer from the passage? A．Building houses on the moon is a difficult task for Chinese scientists. B．The lunar bricks are already used to build a complete house on the moon. C．China is making some improvements in building houses on the moon. D．Many countries show great interest in building houses on the Mars. 4．Which of the following best describes the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． Passage 6 （24-25八年级上·重庆北碚·期末） Take a pen and write the number 6174 on a piece of paper. It looks just like any other number, doesn’t it? But what if I told you that it was a magic number? Do you think this is a joke? Well, let’s see the magic with a quick experiment (实验). Start with any four-digit (数字) number—just make sure that at least two of the digits are different. You may use, for example, 2024. Now rearrange the digits to make the smallest possible number: 0224. Then, arrange the digits to make the largest number: 4220. Let’s subtract the smaller number from the larger number: 4220-0224= 3996. Go back to the second step and repeat the process: 9963-3699=6264▷6642-2466=4176▷7641-1467=6174 Ta-da! There you have it: 6174! You can repeat this experiment with another number. What do you end up with? Is it 6174? This number is known as Kaprekar’s constant. It is named after the Indian mathematician Dattatreya Ramchandra Kaprekar. He discovered (发现) the magic behind this number in 1949 after performing the above process. Kaprekar had always enjoyed playing with numbers. After finishing college, he spent his life working as a primary school math teacher. The man was known for his sharp mind. Many schools and colleges invited him to solve difficult math problems. But when Kaprekar presented the magic of 6174 at an international mathematics meeting, other mathematicians didn’t roll out the red carpet. They thought it was a useless discovery and made fun of him. Yet to this day, no scientist can fully tell why this magic works. Would you like to dive deeper? Try different numbers and see how many steps you need to get to 6174. Which number needs the most calculations? How about the least? 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By using sayings. B．By giving an example. C．By telling a story. D．By asking questions. 2．To start the experiment, which of the following numbers should you choose? A．76. B．111. C．1914. D．6666. 3．What does the underlined phrase mean in the passage? A．Show little interest. B．Give a warm welcome. C．Have a good laugh. D．Disagree with his belief. 4．What’s the purpose of this passage? A．To introduce a magic number 6174 and the story behind its discovery. B．To show people that Kaprekar was a great mathematician. C．To teach people how to do math experiments with four-digit numbers. D．To invite readers to become math teachers like Kaprekar. Passage 7 （24-25八年级上·重庆北碚·期末） One day, a young man went to Socrates and said, “I want to be a great success.

Like other people looking after babies, he is tired. It is 5:30 a.m. and he hasn’t had much sleep. Jack sits next to a baby elephant, smiles and makes sure the baby elephant finishes its breakfast. Jack is a keeper from an elephant rescue (救援) center. Unluckily, many elephants meet problems, so they need rescuing here. For one thing, hunters kill elephants for their ivories (象牙). For another, people build homes and plant fields where elephants used to live. Hungry (饿的) elephants walk into the villages and fields to look for food. They often cause serious damage (破坏), so farmers kill them. As a result, some elephants often have to leave their babies behind. When a baby elephant loses its mother, it’s also in great danger. Because it needs its mother’s milk for about four years. Without milk, the baby has no chance to live. Research shows that elephants, like people, have feelings. If the mother elephant dies, the baby elephant often becomes sad and ill. The center’s job is to raise these baby elephants and send them back to the wild step by step. First, keepers take turns looking after the baby elephants because they don’t want an elephant to depend on one of the keepers too much. Then keepers take the elephants into the forest. This is an important part of the process because the elephants need to learn how to eat in the wild and communicate with others.

My son is a huge sports fan and he often asked me to take him to watch hockey games. By and by, I fell in love with the sport and I decided to give it a try. To be honest, it is the most difficult sport I’ve ever done. There was so much to learn. I saw a lot of learners get on the ice and pick up the hockey quickly and easily. But I wasn’t like them. I was so terrible at skating, but I never thought about giving up. So I took a skating training course and practiced hard in my free time.

Being bad at hockey helps me to understand those students in my class who have difficulty in learning English. They might need to learn the same thing 3 to 4 times or need a few more days of practice. It’s good to learn new things.

I had to build my home soon, or spend another night up in a tree. Also, there was the food and other things that needed to be put in a safe place from animals and rain. I went back down the hill and found a river. This, I thought, would be a good place for me.“Here,” I thought, “I can get my drinking water, and over there is a cave, where I can put all the food.” And so, over the next month, I built my home. Most of it was made from sails I had taken from the ship. I built a table and a chair, too, and took a bed from one of the rooms on the ship. And last of all, I built a large wall around my home. I did this because it made me feel safer from animals and men. The walls were high, and there was no door. You had to climb a ladder to get in. Every night, before falling to sleep, tired with the day’s work, I had time to think. And every night, the same thoughts came. I thought about my friends, who had all been taken from me by the sea. Why was I not also taken? Was I lucky to be alive, here, alone, on this island? Was I alone? Were there other people here? Were they dangerous to me? And every night, I would ease my thoughts, by saying, “Be happy that you have food and something over your head to keep the rain out. Wish for nothing more. Work hard every day, and wait as long as you have to. One day a ship may pass. Be ready for that ship at all times.” 1．Where did Robinson sleep for the first night? A．In a cave. B．In a tree.

They were surprised by the Chinese tea garden in the city’s Botanical Garden (植物园). There, they saw 6,000 tea trees and a group of farmers from China. The farmers were making tea the same way they had in China. But how did tea get to Brazil? In the early 1400s, some sailors from Portugal (葡萄牙水手) drank tea for the first time in China. They thought it was very good, so they started to bring it back to Portugal. In 1640, King John IV of Portugal had a bigger idea. He wanted to know if tea could be grown in Brazil because it was a colony (殖民地) of Portugal at that time. He organized some people to do that. However, the plan wasn’t successful. In the early 19th century (世纪), the first tea plants were sent to Brazil. Some Chinese tea farmers were already prepared to start working there. More farmers would arrive later on. Many things about the farmers can be found in history books of Portugal from that time. In these books, you can see their names, how they grew tea and even how they celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival. By then, they were making great tea. Brazil’s Emperor Dom Pedro I really liked tea. He was very clever and he thought it could make his country rich. In 1825, he started spreading (传播) tea farming and tea culture across Brazil. This exchange (交流) between China and Brazil helped Brazil’s tea farming grow. Brazil became the third country to make tea, after China and Japan. Its tea is known for its high quality. 1．When did the Portuguese sailors first drink tea? A．In the early 1400s. B．In the early 1600s. C．In the early 1800s.

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?

It looks just like any other number, doesn’t it? But what if I told you that it was a magic number? Do you think this is a joke? Well, let’s see the magic with a quick experiment (实验). Start with any four-digit (数字) number—just make sure that at least two of the digits are different. You may use, for example, 2024. Now rearrange the digits to make the smallest possible number: 0224. Then, arrange the digits to make the largest number: 4220. Let’s subtract the smaller number from the larger number: 4220-0224= 3996. Go back to the second step and repeat the process: 9963-3699=6264▷6642-2466=4176▷7641-1467=6174 Ta-da! There you have it: 6174! You can repeat this experiment with another number. What do you end up with? Is it 6174? This number is known as Kaprekar’s constant. It is named after the Indian mathematician Dattatreya Ramchandra Kaprekar. He discovered (发现) the magic behind this number in 1949 after performing the above process. Kaprekar had always enjoyed playing with numbers. After finishing college, he spent his life working as a primary school math teacher. The man was known for his sharp mind. Many schools and colleges invited him to solve difficult math problems. But when Kaprekar presented the magic of 6174 at an international mathematics meeting, other mathematicians didn’t roll out the red carpet. They thought it was a useless discovery and made fun of him. Yet to this day, no scientist can fully tell why this magic works. Would you like to dive deeper? Try different numbers and see how many steps you need to get to 6174. Which number needs the most calculations? How about the least? 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By using sayings. B．By giving an example. C．By telling a story. D．By asking questions. 2．To start the experiment, which of the following numbers should you choose? A．76. B．111. C．1914. D．6666. 3．What does the underlined phrase mean in the passage? A．Show little interest. B．Give a warm welcome. C．Have a good laugh. D．Disagree with his belief. 4．What’s the purpose of this passage? A．To introduce a magic number 6174 and the story behind its discovery. B．To show people that Kaprekar was a great mathematician. C．To teach people how to do math experiments with four-digit numbers.

Like other people looking after babies, he is tired. It is 5:30 a.m. and he hasn’t had much sleep. Jack sits next to a baby elephant, smiles and makes sure the baby elephant finishes its breakfast. Jack is a keeper from an elephant rescue (救援) center. Unluckily, many elephants meet problems, so they need rescuing here. For one thing, hunters kill elephants for their ivories (象牙). For another, people build homes and plant fields where elephants used to live. Hungry (饿的) elephants walk into the villages and fields to look for food. They often cause serious damage (破坏), so farmers kill them. As a result, some elephants often have to leave their babies behind. When a baby elephant loses its mother, it’s also in great danger. Because it needs its mother’s milk for about four years. Without milk, the baby has no chance to live. Research shows that elephants, like people, have feelings. If the mother elephant dies, the baby elephant often becomes sad and ill. The center’s job is to raise these baby elephants and send them back to the wild step by step. First, keepers take turns looking after the baby elephants because they don’t want an elephant to depend on one of the keepers too much. Then keepers take the elephants into the forest. This is an important part of the process because the elephants need to learn how to eat in the wild and communicate with others. When an elephant is four and no longer needs milk, keepers move it to the wild. This makes elephants become brave. It often takes them eight to ten years to get used to the wild. At bedtime, Jack has to lie down and sleep with his baby elephant. Jack says that when he leaves the babies, they cry. Does he need an alarm (闹钟) to wake himself up? “Oh, no,” he says. “The elephants are my alarms.” 1．What is Paragraph 1 mainly about? A．Jack gets up at 5:30 a.m. B．Jack is warming milk. C．Jack is looking after a baby elephant. D．Jack is eating breakfast. 2．Why do some elephants walk into the villages and fields to look for food? A．Because people kill elephants for their ivories. B．Because people build homes and plant fields where they used to live C．Because they want to make serious damage. D．Because farmers are kind to them. 3．What is the rescue center’s job?
