What makes them feel this way? What do you think about it? Many Japanese high school students feel worried about how they look. In Japan, people are usually shyer and quieter than people in Western countries. This can make students less confident (自信的). For example, most of my classmates usually wear their masks. They feel anxious about showing their faces. I think it’s important to stay healthy and be happy with how you look. Ai Akasaki, 16, Japan At my school, not many people worry about how they look. The main reason for this worry is feeling unsure about how they look. Some people think only “good-looking” people have friends. But in Singapore, we have people from many different cultures, so there are many different ideas of beauty. People won’t stop being your friend just because of your look. In Singapore, people care more about your personality than your appearance. Huang Luofei, 13, Singapore In Sweden (瑞典), many students worry about how they look, and social media is a big reason. The pictures we see online often show people who look perfect, and this makes us feel like we need to look the same. Students compare themselves with the people in these pictures and feel anxious. I think this problem is about how people think about beauty. We need more real and different kinds of beauty in the media to help students feel less pressure (压力). Folke Borgstrom, 18, Sweden 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 36. How do Japanese students feel about their appearance? A. Happy. B. Worried. C. Relaxed. D. Excited. 37. In Singapore, what kind of people will have more friends? A. People who look very beautiful. B. People who work very well. C. People who have a good personality. D. People who have a good family. 38. What do social media make people online do according to the material? A. Look even more perfect. B. Become more famous. C. Become much richer. D. Get much happier. 39. What does the underlined word “anxious” mean in the first box? A. confident B. beautiful C. happy D. nervous 40. What’s the material mainly about? A. How students feel about how they look. B. What helps students feel less pressure. C. Who students can make friends with. D. Who cares more about your personality. 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. A 39. D 40.

In fact, they are just trying to help save them. Puffins are the most common birds on the Westman Islands in Iceland. Different from most seabirds, they are able to go under water to 60 metres deep to catch fish. Each spring, they lay eggs in holes on cliffs. 40 days later, they will fly back to the sea, leaving the young there. Baby puffins would spend about six weeks in the holes alone before they are ready to fly to the sea. In the past, young puffins could easily find the sea with the help of the moonlight. But now, bright lights of the city often make them lose their way. Many of them end up flying into the town. However, it’s not an easy thing for young puffins to fly up and find food in the town, so they may lose their lives there. That’s why people on the Westman Islands have decided to help those young puffins. In late summer, when young puffins leave their holes, local people often go out to look for the missing puffins at night. If they find one, they would pick it up and put it in a box. The next day, they would take it to the cliff and throw it off. In this way, young puffins can fly safely to their new home for the next few years. The unusual tradition also helps make sure the puffins will be back to their holes another year. A puffin lays one egg each year at most, so the help from the people on the Westman Islands is of great importance to the survival of puffins. 根据短文内容，判断句子正（T）、误（F）。 46. Puffins are the most common birds in Iceland. 47. Baby puffins would spend about 40 days in the holes alone before they fly to the sea. 48.

She just stayed at home alone. How lonely she ____63____ (feel)! One day, her mother bought a nice hairgrip (发夹) ____64____ her. When she wore it, she thought she was more beautiful than before. So she decided ____65____ (wear) it to school the next day. That was the first time she did that. On her way to school, most of the ____66____ (child) in her school smiled at her. She thought that was because of her hairgrip. She didn’t tell anyone about it. The whole day, she had the ____67____ (happy) of talking and playing with her classmates. She seemed outgoing ____68____ smart. All of her classmates wondered what happened to her. A school day passed ____69____ (quick). When she got back home and wanted to take off the hairgrip, she was ____70____ (surprise) to find it was gone. Her mother said, “Did you know you left your hairgrip at home? I found it by the door this morning.” Hearing her mother’s words, she suddenly understood. 【答案】61. an 62. her 63 felt 64. for 65. to wear 66. children 67. happiness 68. and 69. quickly 70. surprised 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一个8岁女孩Gina因自卑不敢与同学交往，后来通过母亲送的发夹重获自信的故事。 【61题详解】 句意：Gina是一个8岁女孩。此处泛指“一个八岁的女孩”，应用不定冠词，空格后的“8-year-old”以元音音素开头，所以空格处需用不定冠词an。故填an。 【62题详解】 句意：她也认为她很难和她的同学交朋友。for是介词，其后接人称代词的宾格作宾语，she的宾格是her。故填her。 【63题详解】 句意：她感到多么孤独啊！此处表示过去发生动作，应用一般过去时，所以空格处应填feel的过去式felt。故填felt。 【64题详解】 句意：一天，她妈妈给她买了一个漂亮发夹。根据“bought a nice hairgrip (发夹)...her”可知，此处应用短语buy sth. for sb.表示“给某人买某物”。故填for。 【65题详解】 句意：因此她决定第二天戴着它去学校。短语decide to do sth.意为“决定做某事”，所以空格处应填动词不定式to wear。故填to wear。 【66题详解】 句意：在她上学的路上，她学校里的大多数孩子都对她微笑。most of后接可数名词复数形式，所以空格处应填child的复数形式children。故填children。 【67题详解】 句意：一整天，她都和同学们开心地聊天、玩耍。分析“she had the...”可知，空格处缺少名词作宾语，happy的名词形式是happiness，happiness在此处表示抽象概念，是不可数名词。故填happiness。 【68题详解】 句意：她看起来外向又聪明。outgoing和smart是并列关系，应用连词and连接。故填and。 【69题详解】 句意：学校的一天很快就过去了。空格处用于修饰动词passed，应填quick的副词形式quickly。故填quickly。 【70题详解】 句意：当她回到家想取下发夹时，她惊讶地发现它不见了。根据“she was...”可知，空格处应填surprise的形容词形式surprised作表语，描述主语“she”感到惊讶的状态。故填surprised。 五、书面表达（共20分） （A） 71. 假如你是某校八年级（1）班的班长，下周五你班将去动物园进行研学活动，请你根据要点提示用英语写一则不少于40词的班级通知。 要点：1. 简要介绍研学活动中拟参观的两种动物；2. 号召同学们要遵守动物园规则。 Dear classmates, _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Class One, Grade Eight 【答案】 范文： Dear classmates, Our class will have a study trip to the zoo next Friday.

He was excited about space when he watched the launch (发射) of Shenzhou-5 with his classmates. The excitement of that moment set his dream of space travel. Now his dream has come true. In September, 2008, he joined the People’s Liberation Army Air Force and learned to fly. In the first months at the Air Force’s flight school, he did not do well in his physical tests. ________ Knowing about his weaknesses (弱点), Song worked hard and trained a lot to get better. He was always on the exercise field and often asked for more training. “I’m going to train anyway, and do it with a smile and enjoy the ride,” he said to himself. In the end, Song got the best score in his flight examination. In the spring of 2018, he heard that the PLA Astronaut Division was picking new members and he applied (申请) right away. In September, 2020, Song was chosen to be one of the third group of astronauts and began training in Beijing. But very soon, Song found he was too impatient. He realized that what a successful astronaut really needs is calmness and team spirit. To help himself be more patient, he learned to slow down and even started going fishing. On October 30, 2024, the Shenzhou XIX spaceship was successfully launched. Song and two other astronauts flew into space. “As an astronaut born in the 1990s, I feel deeply honoured and proud to have the opportunity to serve my country,” he said. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 31.

He also felt very sick when he first flew in a trainer plane. B. He was successfully selected to go to space with others. C. All of this is thanks to our great motherland. D.

A hard training (B) Do students in your country worry about how they look? What makes them feel this way? What do you think about it? Many Japanese high school students feel worried about how they look. In Japan, people are usually shyer and quieter than people in Western countries. This can make students less confident (自信的). For example, most of my classmates usually wear their masks. They feel anxious about showing their faces. I think it’s important to stay healthy and be happy with how you look. Ai Akasaki, 16, Japan At my school, not many people worry about how they look. The main reason for this worry is feeling unsure about how they look. Some people think only “good-looking” people have friends. But in Singapore, we have people from many different cultures, so there are many different ideas of beauty. People won’t stop being your friend just because of your look. In Singapore, people care more about your personality than your appearance. Huang Luofei, 13, Singapore In Sweden (瑞典), many students worry about how they look, and social media is a big reason. The pictures we see online often show people who look perfect, and this makes us feel like we need to look the same. Students compare themselves with the people in these pictures and feel anxious. I think this problem is about how people think about beauty. We need more real and different kinds of beauty in the media to help students feel less pressure (压力). Folke Borgstrom, 18, Sweden 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 36 How do Japanese students feel about their appearance? A. Happy. B. Worried. C. Relaxed. D. Excited. 37. In Singapore, what kind of people will have more friends? A. People who look very beautiful. B. People who work very well. C. People who have a good personality. D. People who have a good family. 38. What do social media make people online do according to the material? A. Look even more perfect. B. Become more famous. C Become much richer. D. Get much happier. 39. What does the underlined word “anxious” mean in the first box? A. confident B. beautiful C. happy D. nervous 40. What’s the material mainly about? A. How students feel about how they look. B. What helps students feel less pressure. C. Who students can make friends with. D. Who cares more about your personality. (C) ①I love spending time with my family, but sometimes they all have to go somewhere else without me and leave me alone. When that happens, I have to find ways to keep myself busy. ②One of my favorite things to do when I’m home alone is to read. I usually get comfortable in bed with a snack and read for hours. Sometimes I even read out to Fluffy, my pet dog. ③Another thing I like to do is to watch movies. I have a good collection of movies, and I can pick out something interesting to watch. I make some popcorn (爆米花), turn off the lights, and enjoy the movie on the sofa. ④Music always makes me feel good, so I like to play my favorite songs and sing along. I dance around the living room and pretend (假装) I’m performing for many people. It’s so much fun. ⑤Of course, I also have to take care of myself when I’m home alone. I eat healthy snacks and drink lots of water. I also know what to do if there’s an emergency (紧急情况), like calling the police or a trusted (可信赖的) adult. ⑥Being home alone can be a little scary sometimes, but I know how to keep myself safe and happy.

A ①②/③④⑤⑥ B. ①②/③④/⑤⑥ C. ①②/③④⑤/⑥ D. ①/②③④⑤/⑥ (D) If you see a girl and a boy throwing two baby puffins (海鹦) off a cliff (悬崖) on the Westman Islands, you may not understand why they’re doing so. In fact, they are just trying to help save them. Puffins are the most common birds on the Westman Islands in Iceland. Different from most seabirds, they are able to go under water to 60 metres deep to catch fish. Each spring, they lay eggs in holes on cliffs. 40 days later, they will fly back to the sea, leaving the young there. Baby puffins would spend about six weeks in the holes alone before they are ready to fly to the sea. In the past, young puffins could easily find the sea with the help of the moonlight. But now, bright lights of the city often make them lose their way. Many of them end up flying into the town. However, it’s not an easy thing for young puffins to fly up and find food in the town, so they may lose their lives there. That’s why people on the Westman Islands have decided to help those young puffins. In late summer, when young puffins leave their holes, local people often go out to look for the missing puffins at night. If they find one, they would pick it up and put it in a box. The next day, they would take it to the cliff and throw it off. In this way, young puffins can fly safely to their new home for the next few years. The unusual tradition also helps make sure the puffins will be back to their holes another year.
