专题06 阅读理解-任务型阅读 主题01 人与自我-生活策略 Passage 1 （24-25八年级上·重庆·期末） Worrying isn’t fun, but we might do it a lot. When we’re worried, we may not be able to fall asleep at night and keep thinking about things we can’t control (控制). We may think that bad things will happen to us and it will make us feel worse. Luckily, there are some simple ways to help us to face worries rightly. First, learn to accept what we can’t control. We should understand that we can’t control everything. It’s hard, but accepting this can make us feel more relaxed. Remember there is no need for us to read the news or information on social media (社交媒体) all the time. It’s OK to miss some of it. Second, write down our worries. We can give ourselves a short time, like 10 minutes, to think about all our worries. Write them down on a piece of paper. After writing, put the paper away. It’s like you’ve “parked” your worries in that paper, so they don’t keep driving around in your mind; just put them away! What’s more, find something fun to do. Doing fun things like watching funny TV shows, reading interesting stories, or talking with friends can make us happy. When we’re doing these, we don’t think much about the future and we will worry less. So, try to find joy often! Remember, it’s normal to worry sometimes. What’s important is how we face it. By accepting the things we can’t control, writing down worries and putting them away and finding fun, we can ________. 任务A：根据文章内容，完成思维导图中1-8题，每空一词，所填内容部分来自文章，部分需要进行归纳总结。 1． 2． 3． 4． 5． 6． 7． 8． 任务B：补全第六自然段信息，使得文章通顺，完成9题，不超过20词。 9．we can 【答案】1．Negative 2．Solutions 3．about 4．everything 5．reading 6．all 7．away 8．stories 9．face our worries rightly and feel more relaxed 【导语】本文介绍了一些简单的方法可以帮助我们正确地面对忧虑。 1．根据第一段“Worrying isn’t fun...makes us feel worse”可知，担忧对我们的影响是负面的，故填Negative。 2．该节点为解决方案部分的总结，根据以下各小节点内容可知，故填Solutions。 3．根据第一段“think that bad things will happen to us”可知，会想到不好的事情，故填about。 4．根据第三段“We should understand that we can’t control everything”可知我们不能掌控所有事情，故填everything。 5． 根据第三段“There is no need for us to read the news or information on social media all the time”可知，应该停止一直阅读社交媒体上的信息。故填reading。 6．根据第四段“10 minutes, to think about all our worries”可知，我们花时间思考所有的担忧，故填all。 7．根据第四段“put the paper away”及“so they don’t keep driving around in your mind; just put them away!”可知，担忧被放置一边。故填away。 8．根据倒数第二段“reading interesting stories”可知，故填stories。 9．根据前文提到的多种方法来改善担忧的情况，总结出来我们可以更好地应对担忧，变得更放松，故填face our worries rightly and feel more relaxed。 Passage 2 （24-25八年级上·重庆江津·期末） 阅读下文并回答问题。 As you know, homework is a big part of going to school.

On a cold morning, my friend Peter invited me to a famous coffee shop. When we enjoyed our coffee, a tall man with a pair of glasses came in and sat down next to us. He called the waiter and ordered, “Two cups of coffee, and one of them there on the wall.” We saw that he drank one cup of coffee but he paid for two. After he left, the waiter quickly put a piece of paper on the wall saying “A cup of coffee”. While we were still there, two other women had two cups of coffee but paid for three. Again, the waiter did the same thing. It seemed that this was common at this place. However, it was something strange for us. About 30 minutes later, an old man came in. The way this man dressed didn’t match the style of this coffee shop. He looked thin and poor. When he sat down, he looked at the wall and said, “One cup of coffee from that wall.” The waiter served coffee to this man, showing him the same respect (尊重) as the other customers. The man had his coffee and left without paying. The waiter took off a piece of paper from the wall and threw it into the dustbin. After that, I knew anybody could take a cup of coffee from that wall if he wanted. He didn’t have to lose face to ask for a free cup of coffee. Without asking or knowing who was giving him this cup of coffee, he only looked at the wall, ordered, enjoyed coffee and left. 1．Did the old man pay for his coffee? 2．When did Peter and I enjoy the coffee in the coffee shop? 3．Why did people put another cup of coffee on the wall in this coffee shop? 4．Please write a possible ending for the story.

With little money to buy young trees, they had to collect and plant cuttings (插枝，插条). Every morning, they went to the riverbank together. Jia Wenqi walked in the front and Jia Haixia followed him by holding one of his friends empty sleeves (衣袖). After they arrived at the riverbank, Jia Haixia would climb on his friend’s shoulders to get cuttings and Jia Wenqi would tell him which cuttings were the best. After that, they dug holes on the ground and watered the cuttings together. They planted 800 trees in the first year, but only two of them survived (存活). They didn’t give up. Instead, they continued to plant more in the next few years. The riverbank is now home to over ten thousand trees.

Passage 8 （24-25八年级上·重庆江北·期末） 阅读下文并回答问题。 Last week, Matt gave a jazz concert in Manchester, New Hampshire. He performed with two grown-ups (成年人). The band even played music that Matt wrote. Matt taught himself to read music when he was six and he has made five CDs. “It’s strange to have an 11-year-old boy as your boss (老板),” says John, who plays in Matt band. Like Matt, many kids are born with a special talent. Junichi, 13, and Alexandra, 18, drew as well as grown-ups when they were very young. But they still work hard to be good at what they do. Robert is a psychologist (心理学家). He says, “To do well in something creative, kids need to have helpful parents and try things out over and over again.” He also says kids should try many activities, not just the ones they’re good at. Even kids who don’t seem to have a special talent can grow up to be successful. Walt Disney was once told that he doodled (乱画) too much. Later, his drawings helped him create famous cartoon characters.

It also has a big influence on how we students study. AI gives us a lot of learning materials (材料). There are smart tutoring systems (教学辅导 系统). These systems can study how well we students do in learning and what our habits are. For example, they watch how we answer questions and how long we spend on different study jobs. Then they can find out what we are not good at or what we do well in. After that, they make special learning plans just for each of us. In learning languages, AI apps are really useful too. They can listen to our pronunciations and tell us right away if they are correct or not. They can also fix our grammar mistakes. Also, AI makes learning more interesting and we can talk with it as we are talking with the teachers. There are some educational games with AI. These games put study things into a game style. We need to solve problems or finish tasks to go to the next level. This makes us want to learn actively. We can learn at the speed that suits us. If we don’t understand something, we can do it again and again until we get the meaning of it. And when we learn languages and need to have conversation practice, we can choose an AI digital human (虚拟人物) that we want to talk with to practice the language conversation with. In the future, AI might even let us have classes in a virtual (视觉的) classroom. We could have lessons from great teachers all over the world without going anywhere, which made learning much more convenient. In a word, AI has changed the way we study. It makes learning fun and efficient through different kinds of soft wares (软件). Let’s welcome this change and explore more in the era of intelligent learning (人工智能时代). 1．Can AI make special learning plans for students? 2．What do these education games do according to the passage? 3．How does AI improve students’ language learning? 4．Do you think AI will completely replace (代替) human teachers in the future? Why or why not? 【答案】1．Yes./Yes, it can. 2．They put study things into a game style. 3．They listen to and correct our pronunciations, fix our grammar mistakes and have conversations with us as an AI digital human. 4．No. Because the teachers have true feeling towards the students. What’s more, the teachers can influence the students in more ways than AI. 【导语】本文详细描述了AI时代的学习转变，着重讲述了AI技术对学习方法的变革与优化，从个性化学习定制到互动式语言学习，以及虚拟教学和游戏化学习的手段，展示了AI对教育的深远影响。文章结尾强调了迎接这一变革的积极态度。 1．根据“they make special learning plans just for each of us”可知，AI能够为学生制定个性化的学习计划。故填Yes./Yes, it can. 2．根据“These games put study things into a game style. We need to solve problems or finish tasks to go to the next level”可知，这些教育游戏将学习内容以游戏的形式呈现，通过解决问题或完成任务来提升学习兴趣。故填They put study things into a game style. 3．根据“They can listen to our pronunciations and tell us right away if they are correct or not.

What’s more, the teachers can influence the students in more ways than AI. Passage 2 （24-25八年级上·重庆北碚·期末） 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容回答问题并完成表格填写，表格每空限一词。 Do you know how many hours of sleep people need daily? For students aged 6 to 11 years old, they should have 9 to 12 hours of sleep; for students aged 12 to 18 years old, they should have 8 to 10 hours of sleep; and for people who are over 18 years old, they should sleep 7 hours or more. As we all know, enough sleep is important for teenagers. When teenagers get enough sleep, they can get stronger physically and don’t fall ill easily. They can also do better in schoolwork. Enough sleep also has much to do with their emotional stability (情绪稳定). When teenagers don’t get enough sleep, they can get angry more easily. However, a study shows that many teenagers in America are not getting enough sleep. Here are the results. Teens need at least 8 hours of sleep at night, but results show most teens get much less 60% of middle schoolers and 70% of high schoolers report inadequate (不够的) sleep on school nights. Why is it hard for teens to get good sleep? In fact, there is more than one reason. One of the reasons is late bedtime and early school start times. Now, more and more teenagers are having a habit of being “a night owl”, staying up later at night and sleeping longer into the morning. If they can sleep as long as they wish, many teens would get eight hours or more a night, but most school start times ask them to wake up much earlier in the morning. The use of electronic devices (电子设备) like the smartphone and computer is another reason. Research has found that 89% or more of teens keep at least one device in their bedroom at night. Screen time late into the evening can cause sleep problems. Using these devices can keep teens excited so it might be difficult for them to fall asleep quickly.

However, these canteens have become more and more popular among young people recently. Why do so many young people choose to have meals in these “elderly” community canteens? Many young people are too busy with work to cook for themselves. “I used to spend two hours cooking and washing dishes, only to eat for 10 minutes,” said Chen Luo, an engineer from a nearby office building. The nearby community canteen is a perfect choice. Compared with food ordered online, foods in these canteens are much healthier. Fang Wenjing, a teenage boy from Hangzhou, can order a meat dish, 2 vegetable dishes and a bowl of rice for only 20 yuan in the nearby community canteen. “Though the dishes are cheap, they are healthy and have a home-cooked taste, just as I expected,” said Fang. However, some people show different opinions about these community canteens. They doubt whether the canteens can make sure the dishes are fresh and healthy with such low prices. Besides, meals there are all home-made dishes with fewer specials in different places. “Though other restaurants are a little more expensive than the community canteens, I prefer to enjoy the beautiful environment and nice service there,” said Linda Wang, a young English teacher. Anyway, community canteens really meet the daily needs of people who live in big cities. What do you think? 1．Do the community canteens only serve old people now? 2．What can Fang Wenjing choose to eat in a community canteen with 20 yuan? 3．Why do many young people have meals in the community canteens? 4．If you want to eat out, would you like to choose community canteens or other restaurants? Why? 【答案】1．No, they don’t. 2．A meat dish, 2 vegetable dishes and a bowl of rice. 3．Because they are too busy with work to cook for themselves. 4．I would like to choose community canteens because the dishes are cheap and healthy. 【导语】本文主要介绍了社区食堂现在越来越受到年轻人的喜爱。 1．根据“However, these canteens have become more and more popular among young people recently.”可知，社区食堂最近广受年轻人的喜爱，可见它们现在不是只服务于老年人，应作否定回答。故填No, they don’t. 2．根据“Fang Wenjing, a teenage boy from Hangzhou, can order a meat dish, 2 vegetable dishes and a bowl of rice for only 20 yuan in the nearby community canteen.”可知，他用20元就可以在社区食堂里吃到一肉两菜再加一碗米饭。故填A meat dish, 2 vegetable dishes and a bowl of rice. 3．根据“Many young people are too busy with work to cook for themselves.”可知，这些年轻人由于工作繁忙无法自己做饭，因此选择在社区食堂就餐。故填Because they are too busy with work to cook for themselves. 4．本题为开放性题目，答案不唯一，言之有理即可。故填I would like to choose community canteens because the dishes are cheap and healthy.

Passage 5 （23-24八年级上·重庆永川·期末） 阅读下文并回答问题。 “Zero calories (卡路里) can’t put on weight.” Diet soft drinks are often advertised in this way. But are they really a good choice? Some people think diet soft drinks are healthier because they don’t have sugar or calories. They think drinking these drinks can help them lose weight. In fact, diet soft drinks do have some sugar, although very little. Usually, when there is 0. 5 grams (克) of sugar or less in a 100 gram drink, we call it a diet soft drink. Although they have little sugar, diet soft drinks still taste sweet by using artificial sweeteners (人工甜味剂). They have very few calories. But when you eat sweet-tasting things like sugar, it hits your brain and makes you want more. Your brain tells your body to prepare itself for more sugar. When you drink a diet soft drink, the brain receives the “sweet signal (信号)”, but no sugar arrives. Since the brain is fooled, it still wants more sweets. Some people drink diet soft drinks and they don’t drink water. This is not a good choice. Diet soft drinks can make your teeth bad and let you not want to eat. The additives (添加剂) in these drinks are not good for you either. 1．Do any people think diet soft drinks are healthier because they don't have sugar or calories? 2．What is a diet soft drink? 3．Why isn’t it a good choice for us to drink diet soft drinks? 4．In your daily life, do you drink more diet soft drinks or more water? Why or why not? 【答案】1．Yes, they do. 2．If there is 3.5 grams of sugar or less in a 100 gram drink. 4．Diet soft drinks can make your teeth bad and let you not want to eat. The additives in these drinks are not good for you either. 5．I drink more water in your daily life. Because water is the healthiest drink and it is good for my health. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了无糖饮料。无糖饮料实际上是不利于我们的健康的。 1．根据“Some people think diet soft drinks are healthier because they don’t have sugar or calories.”可知，有些人认为无糖软饮料更健康，因为它们不含糖或卡路里。故填Yes, they do. 2．根据“Usually, when there is 0.5 grams (克) of sugar or less in a 100 gram drink, we call it a diet soft drink.”可知，通常，当100克饮料中含有0.5克或更少的糖时，我们称之为无糖软饮料。故填If there is 0.5 grams of sugar or less in a 100 gram drink. 3．根据“Diet soft drinks can make your teeth bad and let you not want to eat. The additives (添加剂) in these drinks are not good for you either.”可知，无糖软饮料会损害你的牙齿，让你不想吃东西。这些饮料中的添加剂对你也不好。故填Diet soft drinks can make your teeth bad and let you not want to eat. The additives in these drinks are not good for you either. 4．本题属于开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案：I drink more water in your daily life. Because water is the healthiest drink and it is good for my health.

A lonely fisherman afloat Is fishing snow in a lonely boat. —Translated (翻译) by Xu Yuanchong Xu Yuanchong is a famous translator in China. He started to translate during his college years. In1939, Xu Yuanchong, as a young man, published his earliest English translation. In the late 1940s, he spent a few years studying in France. After that, he came back to China and put all his heart into translation, the thing he loved. The great translator had many creative and important ideas on translation. First, he believed sharing and understanding different cultures played an important role in translation. He knew very well about the cultures of these three countries- Britain, France and his own country China, which could make his translation works better understood by his readers. He said, “The greatest joy on the earth is to introduce the beauty created by people to the whole world.” Also, he thought it was important to bring out the beauty in image, sound and forms when working on his translation. So he always tried to show the special beauty of ancient Chinese poems when he translated them into another language. We can tell this clearly when we read aloud the poem Fishing in Snow in the box. Xu Yuanchong believed that translation was a kind of art. On June 17, 2021, after giving his life to translation for more than sixty years, Xu passed away in Beijing at the age of 100. Today, more than 100 kinds of Xu’s books have been popular at home and abroad.

Later the friend asked the farmer why he had planted the tree in such a poor place. “What’s the difference?” the farmer said unhappily. “If I had planted the tree in other places, someone else would steal the apples, too.” “Yes,” said the friend, “At least someone could get something. But now...” 1．Did the farmer buy the tree himself? 2．Where did the farmer plant the tree in the end? 3．Why did the apple tree die soon? 4．What do you think the farmer’s friend might say to him at last? (about 15 words) But now 【答案】1．No, he didn’t. 2．In the forest. 3．Because it was watered once a month and there was not enough sunlight. 4．no one, including you, can enjoy the apples because you planted it poorly.（答案不唯一，合理即可） 【导语】本文主要讲述了一个贫穷的农民朋友送给他一棵苹果树，但农民因为担心果实被偷，最终将树种在了森林里，结果树因为缺乏阳光和水分而死亡。 1．根据第一段“A poor farmer had a friend who was famous for the wonderful apples he grew. One day, his friend gave the farmer a young apple tree as a gift and told him to take it home and plant it.”可知，农民得到的苹果树是朋友送的礼物，并非他自己购买的。故填No, he didn’t. 2．根据第四段“Finally, he planted the tree in the forest where no one could see it.”可知，农民最终把树种在了森林里。故填In the forest. 3．根据第四段“Because of the long distance (距离), the farmer could only water the tree once a month And without enough sunlight, the tree soon died.”可知，苹果树因为距离太远只能每月浇一次水，同时缺乏足够的阳光，所以很快就死了。故填Because it was watered once a month and there was not enough sunlight. 4．这是一个开放性问题，但可以根据文章内容和常识来回答。农民的朋友可能会告诉农民，现在他的决定导致谁都得不到苹果了。因此，可以回答“But now, no one, including you, can enjoy the apples because you planted it poorly.”。故填no one, including you, can enjoy the apples because you planted it poorly.（答案不唯一，合理即可） Passage 4 （23-24八年级上·重庆大足·期末） 阅读下文并回答问题。 Long long ago, there lived a giraffe in the forest. He was the tallest of all the animals, so he was too proud (骄傲的) and always looked down on (轻视) others. A monkey decided to teach the giraffe a lesson. One day, the monkey led the giraffe to a tree. He said to the giraffe, “Look at the tall tree. There’s some lovely fruit growing on the tree, but you wouldn’t be able to pick it.” The giraffe said, “It is impossible. Just watch me.” He tried to pick the fruit, but it was just out of reach. “I said you couldn’t reach it, but I can,” said the monkey. Then, the monkey jumped onto the giraffe’s back. He reached out his arm and picked the fruit. The monkey said, “We could not do it alone, but we can do it together. So, don’t be so proud.” After that, the giraffe didn’t boast (吹嘘) any more. He even became friends with the monkey. 1．Did the giraffe become friends with the monkey? 2．Why was the giraffe too proud? 3．How did the monkey pick the fruit? 4．What can you learn from the story? 【答案】1．Yes. 2． He was the tallest of all the animals. 3．He jumped onto the giraffe’s back, reached out his arm and picked the fruit. 4．Teamwork is important and one shouldn’t be too proud. 【导语】本文讲述了一只因为身高而骄傲自大的长颈鹿，嘲笑其他矮小的小动物，后来猴子给它上了一课，它不仅不再自夸，还和猴子成为了好朋友。 1．根据“He even became friends with the monkey.”可知长颈鹿和猴子成为了朋友。故填Yes. 2．根据“He was the tallest of all the animals, so he was too proud”可知他是所有动物中最高的，所以他太骄傲了。故填He was the tallest of all the animals. 3．根据“the monkey jumped onto the giraffe’s back. He reached out his arm and picked the fruit.”可知猴子跳到长颈鹿的背上，他伸出胳膊摘了水果。故填He jumped onto the giraffe’s back, reached out his arm and picked the fruit. 4．根据“We could not do it alone, but we can do it together. So, don’t be so proud”可知从这个故事中我们可以学到：团结协作是重要的，不要太骄傲。故填Teamwork is important and one shouldn’t be too proud. Passage 5 （23-24八年级上·重庆北碚·期末） When I was ten years old, I went to a summer camp for the first time. I had never left my neighborhood before. The camp opened me up to a world of new people who didn’t look, sound or act like me. When I went home, I became a totally different person. The camp taught me how to work together with others. At first, I wasn’t getting along with other campers very well. However, I still needed to be a team member. I tried to communicate with others and solve the disagreements peacefully. One day, I was told that I would sing a song at the evening campfire. It was a big challenge for me. I felt too nervous to sing in front of the group. I closed my eyes and, took a deep breath. This helped me to calm down. That night turned out to be life-changing. At last, I made it in front of the crowd. I learned from it how to overcome fears. As I grew older, I took part in many other camps. Through different camp “jobs”, I picked up some important skills. I still remember the one time I was asked to sweep the dining hall after dinner. Right when I thought I had completed the job, my supervisor (指导教师) kindly pointed out that I had left dirty mop strings (拖把线) all over the floor. He politely asked me to clean the floor again. Through this experience, I learned how to do a thorough (细致周到的) job.

They also have the chance to make their own decisions and take responsibility for their actions, helping them to grow and mature. 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者通过参加夏令营，学会了很多东西。 1．根据“When I was ten years old, I went to a summer camp for the first time.”可知，是十岁的时候，故填Ten. / Ten years old. / She was 10 years old. 2．根据“At first, I wasn’t getting along with other campers very well.”可知，一开始与其他人相处得不好，故填No. / No, she didn’t. 3．根据“The camp taught me how to work together with others.”“I learned from it how to overcome fears.”及“Through this experience, I learned how to do a thorough (细致周到的) job.”可知，她学会了如何与他人合作，如何克服恐惧，如何做细致周到的工作。故填She learnt/learned how to work together with others, how to overcome fears and how to do a thorough job. 4．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为summer camps provide opportunities to learn new skills and develop independence.

Passage 6 （23-24八年级上·重庆綦江·期末） 阅读下文并回答问题。 Mr. Han was a teacher of English. There was a large international gym near his home. On a sunny Saturday afternoon Mr. Han was taking his two little boys to play tennis in the gym. He walked up to the American man at the ticket box and asked, “How much is it to get in?” “Nine yuan for you and nine yuan for any child over six years old,” the American man answered. “We will let them in for free if they are six or younger. How old are they?” Mr. Han said, “The younger one is three and the other one is seven, so I think I should give you eighteen yuan.” The American man said with a surprised look on his face, “Hey, did you win the lottery (彩票) or something? You need to give me only nine yuan if you tell me the older one is six. You see, I don’t check your ID cards (身份证) today. And the man at the ticket gate won’t either (也不). In fact, it is difficult for anyone to tell the difference between kids of six and seven.” “Yes, that may be true, but the children would know the difference.” Mr. Han said. “And that is the most important thing.” 1．Did Mr. Han win the lottery? 2．How much did Mr. Han spend getting into the gym? 3．What did the American man suggest Mr. Han not doing? 4．Do you agree with what Mr. Han did? Why or why not? 【答案】1．No./No, he didn’t win the lottery. 2．Eighteen/18 yuan. 3．Not telling him his older son was seven years old./Not telling him the true age of his older son. 4．Yes, I agree with what Mr. Han did. Because being honest is more important than anything. And he couldn’t cheat for money. As a father, he should be a good example for his children and others around him. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了韩先生周六下午带两个儿子去家附近的大型的国际健身房打网球，韩先生并没有为了省钱而谎报孩子们的年龄的故事。文章告诉我们，诚实最重要，作为父母要像汉先生那样给孩子们树立好的榜样。 1．根据“Hey, did you win the lottery or something? You need to give me only nine yuan if you tell me the older one is six.”可知，此处是售票处的美国人建议韩先生虚报孩子年龄而提到中彩票一事，事实上韩先生只是为人诚实，而非中了彩票。故填No./No, he didn’t win the lottery. 2．根据“Mr. Han said, ‘The younger one is three and the other one is seven, so I think I should give you eighteen yuan.’”可知，韩先生需要给他自己和7岁的儿子各买一张票，共需要支付18元。故填Eighteen/18 yuan. 3．根据“You need to give me only nine yuan if you tell me the older one is six. You see, I don’t check your ID cards today. And the man at the ticket gate won’t either. In fact, it is difficult for anyone to tell the difference between kids of six and seven.”可知，那个美国人认为韩先生可以不告诉大儿子的真实年龄，这样就可以不给大儿子买票，可以省一点钱。故填Not telling him his older son was seven years old./Not telling him the true age of his older son. 4．根据“‘Yes, that may be true, but the children would know the difference.’ Mr. Han said. ‘And that is the most important thing.’”可知，韩先生不想骗孩子，不想给孩子树立坏榜样，他认为诚实最重要。所以，我非常赞同他的观点，作为父母首先三观要正，要给孩子传播正能量。故填Yes, I agree with what Mr. Han did. Being honest is more important than anything. And he couldn’t cheat for money. As a father, he should be a good example for his children and others around him. 主题02 人与社会-生活启示 Passage 1 （23-24八年级上·重庆潼南·期末） 阅读下文并回答问题。 Long long ago, there was a little girl living in a small poor house on a hill.

When we’re worried, we may not be able to fall asleep at night and keep thinking about things we can’t control (控制). We may think that bad things will happen to us and it will make us feel worse. Luckily, there are some simple ways to help us to face worries rightly. First, learn to accept what we can’t control. We should understand that we can’t control everything. It’s hard, but accepting this can make us feel more relaxed. Remember there is no need for us to read the news or information on social media (社交媒体) all the time. It’s OK to miss some of it. Second, write down our worries. We can give ourselves a short time, like 10 minutes, to think about all our worries. Write them down on a piece of paper. After writing, put the paper away. It’s like you’ve “parked” your worries in that paper, so they don’t keep driving around in your mind; just put them away! What’s more, find something fun to do. Doing fun things like watching funny TV shows, reading interesting stories, or talking with friends can make us happy. When we’re doing these, we don’t think much about the future and we will worry less. So, try to find joy often! Remember, it’s normal to worry sometimes. What’s important is how we face it. By accepting the things we can’t control, writing down worries and putting them away and finding fun, we can ________. 任务A：根据文章内容，完成思维导图中1-8题，每空一词，所填内容部分来自文章，部分需要进行归纳总结。 1． 2． 3． 4． 5． 6． 7． 8． 任务B：补全第六自然段信息，使得文章通顺，完成9题，不超过20词。 9．we can Passage 2 （24-25八年级上·重庆江津·期末） 阅读下文并回答问题。 As you know, homework is a big part of going to school. Luckily, here is some advice for you to make homework easy. Make a homework plan Most middle school students have two or three hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you may need to spend even more time. It is a good idea to make a schedule (进度表) for your homework. Watch where you work A bedroom, study or any room may be good for you to do your homework as long as it’s quiet. But don’t study on your comfortable bed, or you might want to sleep there. Take a break (休息一下) Most people’s attention (注意力) don’t last very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you tired. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good way for most people. Get help when you need it Sometimes even though you are listening carefully in class, some subjects seem too hard. The first person to ask for help is your teacher. He or she may be able to help you before or after school. Your classmates may also be able to give you a hand. 1．Can we do our homework on the comfortable bed? 2．How long can we take a break after doing an hour of homework? 3．Who can we ask for help if we find some subjects hard to learn? 4．How do you do your homework well every day?

Although Wang sometimes has problems, he draws in a fun way. “Drawing comics is a way to relax,” said Wang. “Paper folding (折纸) can help a lot”, said another student, Tang Yi. Physics gives her a lot of worries. “After I fold many different paper animals, I feel so happy.” said Tang. Physical exercise is also helpful. Students in some schools do yoga before a big test. “It’s enjoyable after doing yoga”, said Li Fang, a girl from Chongqing. But whatever you do, first of all, make sure you get enough sleep.

When we enjoyed our coffee, a tall man with a pair of glasses came in and sat down next to us. He called the waiter and ordered, “Two cups of coffee, and one of them there on the wall.” We saw that he drank one cup of coffee but he paid for two. After he left, the waiter quickly put a piece of paper on the wall saying “A cup of coffee”. While we were still there, two other women had two cups of coffee but paid for three. Again, the waiter did the same thing. It seemed that this was common at this place. However, it was something strange for us. About 30 minutes later, an old man came in. The way this man dressed didn’t match the style of this coffee shop. He looked thin and poor. When he sat down, he looked at the wall and said, “One cup of coffee from that wall.” The waiter served coffee to this man, showing him the same respect (尊重) as the other customers. The man had his coffee and left without paying. The waiter took off a piece of paper from the wall and threw it into the dustbin. After that, I knew anybody could take a cup of coffee from that wall if he wanted. He didn’t have to lose face to ask for a free cup of coffee. Without asking or knowing who was giving him this cup of coffee, he only looked at the wall, ordered, enjoyed coffee and left. 1．Did the old man pay for his coffee? 2．When did Peter and I enjoy the coffee in the coffee shop? 3．Why did people put another cup of coffee on the wall in this coffee shop? 4．Please write a possible ending for the story.

However, you can hardly imagine that, about 16 years ago, this area was covered with rocks and weeds (杂草). The big change is all because of years of hard work by two best friends: Jia Haixia, who is blind, and Jia Wenqi, who has no arms. The two friends decided to plant trees to make a living back in 2002. Although both are disabled, they learned to work together by becoming each other’s eyes and hands. With little money to buy young trees, they had to collect and plant cuttings (插枝，插条). Every morning, they went to the riverbank together. Jia Wenqi walked in the front and Jia Haixia followed him by holding one of his friends empty sleeves (衣袖). After they arrived at the riverbank, Jia Haixia would climb on his friend’s shoulders to get cuttings and Jia Wenqi would tell him which cuttings were the best. After that, they dug holes on the ground and watered the cuttings together. They planted 800 trees in the first year, but only two of them survived (存活). They didn’t give up. Instead, they continued to plant more in the next few years. The riverbank is now home to over ten thousand trees. Today, the two friends no longer need to make a living by planting trees, but they have no plans to stop. They aim to plant as many trees as possible in the area so as to protect the village from flooding (洪水) and to improve the local environment. 1．Where did the story take place? 2．How did these two disabled men work together? 3．How many trees are there along the riverbank nowadays? 4．Do you want to plant as many trees as possible in your school?

Li played a part in helping farmers and improving their agricultural techniques (农业技术) in all his life. In 2016, the year he died, President Xi said he was like the “old man Yugong on the Taihang Mountains”. In fact, Li did one of his most important things in the Taihang Mountains. He heard that there were many poor people in the villages. Li knew that the villagers wanted to do something good to the lifeless mountains but had difficulty growing crops and trees there. To solve this, he started teaching the villagers to dig the land and grow apple trees and other crops. When Li first started working with the villagers, they were careless about some of his techniques. So, he organized more than 800 training sessions (课程) and wrote books to show them how his ideas could help them. Slowly, people started to believe him and follow his advice on farming. After 1981, it took him more than 200 days of every year to work with the villagers. Through his hard work, people there covered the mountains with trees and crops successfully, which helped the villagers make money. Li worked in the countryside for 35 years and helped about 100,000 farmers get themselves out of poverty (贫穷). In 2018, a film about him, called The Taste of Apple, was made.

The band even played music that Matt wrote. Matt taught himself to read music when he was six and he has made five CDs. “It’s strange to have an 11-year-old boy as your boss (老板),” says John, who plays in Matt band. Like Matt, many kids are born with a special talent. Junichi, 13, and Alexandra, 18, drew as well as grown-ups when they were very young. But they still work hard to be good at what they do. Robert is a psychologist (心理学家). He says, “To do well in something creative, kids need to have helpful parents and try things out over and over again.” He also says kids should try many activities, not just the ones they’re good at. Even kids who don’t seem to have a special talent can grow up to be successful. Walt Disney was once told that he doodled (乱画) too much. Later, his drawings helped him create famous cartoon characters. For many creative kids, art and music are just one part of their lives. “Sometimes Matt has a concert, and he is a star,” says Diane, Matt’s mom. “But when he comes home, he’s just an ordinary member of our family.” 1．Did Matt give a jazz concert last week? 2．How many CDs has Matt made? 3．How can kids do well in something creative according to Robert? 4．Should kids born with a special talent still work hard?

It also has a big influence on how we students study. AI gives us a lot of learning materials (材料). There are smart tutoring systems (教学辅导 系统). These systems can study how well we students do in learning and what our habits are. For example, they watch how we answer questions and how long we spend on different study jobs. Then they can find out what we are not good at or what we do well in. After that, they make special learning plans just for each of us. In learning languages, AI apps are really useful too. They can listen to our pronunciations and tell us right away if they are correct or not. They can also fix our grammar mistakes. Also, AI makes learning more interesting and we can talk with it as we are talking with the teachers. There are some educational games with AI. These games put study things into a game style. We need to solve problems or finish tasks to go to the next level. This makes us want to learn actively. We can learn at the speed that suits us. If we don’t understand something, we can do it again and again until we get the meaning of it. And when we learn languages and need to have conversation practice, we can choose an AI digital human (虚拟人物) that we want to talk with to practice the language conversation with. In the future, AI might even let us have classes in a virtual (视觉的) classroom. We could have lessons from great teachers all over the world without going anywhere, which made learning much more convenient. In a word, AI has changed the way we study. It makes learning fun and efficient through different kinds of soft wares (软件). Let’s welcome this change and explore more in the era of intelligent learning (人工智能时代). 1．Can AI make special learning plans for students? 2．What do these education games do according to the passage? 3．How does AI improve students’ language learning? 4．Do you think AI will completely replace (代替) human teachers in the future? Why or why not? Passage 2 （24-25八年级上·重庆北碚·期末） 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容回答问题并完成表格填写，表格每空限一词。 Do you know how many hours of sleep people need daily? For students aged 6 to 11 years old, they should have 9 to 12 hours of sleep; for students aged 12 to 18 years old, they should have 8 to 10 hours of sleep; and for people who are over 18 years old, they should sleep 7 hours or more. As we all know, enough sleep is important for teenagers. When teenagers get enough sleep, they can get stronger physically and don’t fall ill easily. They can also do better in schoolwork. Enough sleep also has much to do with their emotional stability (情绪稳定). When teenagers don’t get enough sleep, they can get angry more easily. However, a study shows that many teenagers in America are not getting enough sleep. Here are the results. Teens need at least 8 hours of sleep at night, but results show most teens get much less 60% of middle schoolers and 70% of high schoolers report inadequate (不够的) sleep on school nights. Why is it hard for teens to get good sleep? In fact, there is more than one reason. One of the reasons is late bedtime and early school start times. Now, more and more teenagers are having a habit of being “a night owl”, staying up later at night and sleeping longer into the morning. If they can sleep as long as they wish, many teens would get eight hours or more a night, but most school start times ask them to wake up much earlier in the morning. The use of electronic devices (电子设备) like the smartphone and computer is another reason. Research has found that 89% or more of teens keep at least one device in their bedroom at night. Screen time late into the evening can cause sleep problems. Using these devices can keep teens excited so it might be difficult for them to fall asleep quickly. Sudden phone messages can disrupt (干扰) sleep. And being in the light from smartphones also makes people feel less sleepy. So teens should improve their sleep environment and habits to get better sleep. Here are some tips (建议). ● Get eight hours of sleep a night on weekdays and weekends. ● Put away electronic devices at least a half-hour before bed. ● Keep your bedroom cool, dark and quiet. 1.

Passage 3 （23-24八年级上·重庆九龙坡·期末） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。 Community canteens (社区食堂) are places for old people to have meals, as the elderly may have trouble in cooking. However, these canteens have become more and more popular among young people recently. Why do so many young people choose to have meals in these “elderly” community canteens? Many young people are too busy with work to cook for themselves. “I used to spend two hours cooking and washing dishes, only to eat for 10 minutes,” said Chen Luo, an engineer from a nearby office building. The nearby community canteen is a perfect choice. Compared with food ordered online, foods in these canteens are much healthier. Fang Wenjing, a teenage boy from Hangzhou, can order a meat dish, 2 vegetable dishes and a bowl of rice for only 20 yuan in the nearby community canteen. “Though the dishes are cheap, they are healthy and have a home-cooked taste, just as I expected,” said Fang. However, some people show different opinions about these community canteens. They doubt whether the canteens can make sure the dishes are fresh and healthy with such low prices. Besides, meals there are all home-made dishes with fewer specials in different places. “Though other restaurants are a little more expensive than the community canteens, I prefer to enjoy the beautiful environment and nice service there,” said Linda Wang, a young English teacher. Anyway, community canteens really meet the daily needs of people who live in big cities. What do you think? 1．Do the community canteens only serve old people now? 2．What can Fang Wenjing choose to eat in a community canteen with 20 yuan? 3．Why do many young people have meals in the community canteens? 4．If you want to eat out, would you like to choose community canteens or other restaurants? Why? Passage 4 （24-25八年级上·重庆开州·期末） 阅读下文并回答问题。 The Spring Festival, Chinese New Year, is the most important festival in China. It shows our traditional culture. The Spring Festival lasts 15 days. All family members get together to celebrate it. In order to welcome the arrival of the New Year, people clean up their houses. Each family hang red lanterns (灯笼) and stick the reversed (倒着的) Fu or some couplets (对联) on the front door. Some houses’ windows are stuck on red paper cutting. Traditional foods are very important in the festival. Families make dumplings, sticky rice cakes (年糕), fish and so on. Every dish means good luck, happiness and success. It makes family members feel closer. On New Year’s Eve, people often have a big meal. At about 12 o’clock, some parents and children light fireworks (放烟花). The whole sky is lighted brightly.

But are they really a good choice? Some people think diet soft drinks are healthier because they don’t have sugar or calories. They think drinking these drinks can help them lose weight. In fact, diet soft drinks do have some sugar, although very little. Usually, when there is 0. 5 grams (克) of sugar or less in a 100 gram drink, we call it a diet soft drink. Although they have little sugar, diet soft drinks still taste sweet by using artificial sweeteners (人工甜味剂). They have very few calories. But when you eat sweet-tasting things like sugar, it hits your brain and makes you want more. Your brain tells your body to prepare itself for more sugar. When you drink a diet soft drink, the brain receives the “sweet signal (信号)”, but no sugar arrives. Since the brain is fooled, it still wants more sweets. Some people drink diet soft drinks and they don’t drink water. This is not a good choice. Diet soft drinks can make your teeth bad and let you not want to eat. The additives (添加剂) in these drinks are not good for you either. 1．Do any people think diet soft drinks are healthier because they don't have sugar or calories? 2．What is a diet soft drink? 3．Why isn’t it a good choice for us to drink diet soft drinks? 4．In your daily life, do you drink more diet soft drinks or more water?

A lonely fisherman afloat Is fishing snow in a lonely boat. —Translated (翻译) by Xu Yuanchong Xu Yuanchong is a famous translator in China. He started to translate during his college years. In1939, Xu Yuanchong, as a young man, published his earliest English translation. In the late 1940s, he spent a few years studying in France. After that, he came back to China and put all his heart into translation, the thing he loved. The great translator had many creative and important ideas on translation. First, he believed sharing and understanding different cultures played an important role in translation. He knew very well about the cultures of these three countries- Britain, France and his own country China, which could make his translation works better understood by his readers. He said, “The greatest joy on the earth is to introduce the beauty created by people to the whole world.” Also, he thought it was important to bring out the beauty in image, sound and forms when working on his translation. So he always tried to show the special beauty of ancient Chinese poems when he translated them into another language. We can tell this clearly when we read aloud the poem Fishing in Snow in the box. Xu Yuanchong believed that translation was a kind of art. On June 17, 2021, after giving his life to translation for more than sixty years, Xu passed away in Beijing at the age of 100. Today, more than 100 kinds of Xu’s books have been popular at home and abroad. As Xu said, “Life is not how long you live, but how long you can remember.” He enjoyed a life worth remembering. 1．Was Xu Yuanchong able to translate from Chinese to English? 2．When did Xu start to translate? 3．What is important for good translation works according to Xu? 4．Xu said, “Life is not how long you live, but how long you can remember.” Someone also said, “Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, but about learning to dance in the rain.” What’s your idea of life?

He began to teach left-behind children (留守儿童) without getting any money in 2000. Teaching is always an important part of Ye’s life. To help children learn more about the outside world and have their own dreams, he began to offer (提供) students English classes. He first set up a classroom in his own house. Later, the local government (当地政府) gave him another two classrooms, where more children can get education. Ye lives a very simple life. As he has no children of his own, he lives with his wife in a small house built 30 years ago. Children far away from home can also spend the night there. Over the past years, Ye has helped more than 2, 000 children, and Yang Hongyan is one of them. “Without Grandpa Ye’s help, I may have stopped learning. And I also made my dream come true,” said Yang. “It must be a lie to say that I’m not tired.
