Passage 1
(24-25八年级上·安徽合肥市长丰县·期末)Many festivals are related (有关联的) to animals. The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of them. This traditional festival offers people great chances to learn about rabbits.
In Chinese stories, people connect the rabbit to the moon. Long ago, people believed (相信) a rabbit lived on the moon, called the Moon Rabbit. It is said to be the pet of the moon goddess, Chang’e. Rabbits are quiet but they run quickly. Besides, they can have many babies quickly, so Chinese people also see the rabbit as a symbol of good luck, thinking that having many children would bring happiness.
Rabbits are famous in Western stories too! In Alice in Wonderland, Alice follows a rabbit and goes on an amazing adventure. In Western countries, rabbits are also seen as lucky animals. Some people believe that carrying a rabbit’s foot brings good luck. In the past, if young hunters caught a rabbit, they were given the rabbit’s back foot as a reward. In places like North America and the UK, some priests (牧师) say the word “rabbit” on the first day of each month to bring good luck.
As we celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, let’s enjoy these stories and share the good luck that rabbits bring!

You can buy CDs of your favourite music, listen to singers on the radio, and even watch them on TV. Thousands of years from now, people will know about our music because we have made recordings of it.
Thousands of years ago, recording music was impossible. So how do we know that people long ago played music? Because scientists have found flutes (长笛) that are 9,000 years old!
The flutes were found in China, in the Yellow River Valley. The flutes were made from the wingbones (翼骨) of a crane. People long ago caught this kind of long-necked bird and got their bones. They carved (雕刻) their bones and put holes in them. It was even more surprising that one flute could still be played.
“It makes a pleasant sound, a little thin, like a recorder (录音机),” one scientist described. The flute is also easy to learn and light to carry, so it is one of the most popular Chinese traditional instruments (乐器) in Asia.

(24-25八年级上•安徽淮北市•期末)Do you know that cigarette butts (烟头) are the most common rubbish in our life? People throw about 4.5 trillion (万亿) of them into the environment every year. Cigarette butts can kill fish, and they are in the stomachs (胃) of sea turtles, birds and other wildlife. A survey showed that though cigarette butts were everywhere, people paid no attention (注意) to them because they were so small.
But now, Dutch company Tech Tics is planning to help solve the cigarette problem with its Beach Bot (BB). It is a beach-cleaning robot. It uses AI to find cigarette butts on the beach. Even part of the butt in the sand can be found. BB has four wheels, two cameras and two arms to pick up cigarette butts. The way this robot works is very simple. Once it finds cigarette butts, BB just needs to put them into a bin (垃圾箱). After it finishes cleaning, people will deal with (处理) the waste.
However, BB still can’t tell the difference between things like a cigarette butt and a small seashell (贝壳). We can use the APP Microsof Trove to help it. Anyone with a smart phone can send BB photos of cigarette butts to help the robot learn to know them.
BB is able to pick up 20 cigarette butts successfully in 30 minutes now. Though the robot works well without wasting time, scientists still hope that people can throw rubbish less. If people stop throwing their cigarette butts onto the beach, robots like BB will not be necessary.

Reuse means “use again”. When we buy things, make sure that they can last a long time. When something is broken, we should repair it instead of throwing it away and buying a new one. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china (瓷) cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle
Recycle means “change things into something else”. Though it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them.
So please remember these words: reduce, reuse and recycle.
1. What is the passage about?
A. How to produce things. B. How to burn things. C. How to be green. D. How to help others.

Passage 9
(24-25八年级上•安徽合肥市新站区•期末)How do you feel today? Sunny or dark? This is not a weather report. In fact, we often use weather to describe our changing moods (心情). Weather not only helps us show our feelings but might also change them.
Sunshine is the most common one. Though the connection isn’t so strong, sunlight has been found to improve good feelings and let bad ones go away. When our mood improves, we could do things better. Studies show that people are more helpful when it’s sunny. For example, restaurants in Minnesota, USA, would receive more tips (小费) on sunny days. On the other hand, cloudy weather might make us think more seriously. One study found that managers in companies would pay more attention to workers’ skills on cloudy days.
Temperatures also have something to do with how we feel and act. We feel uncomfortable when it’s too hot or too cold. The temperatures change and people’s moods change too. Some studies showed that people didn’t want to help others when they were too high or too low.
However, what we’re doing and how we think decide how strong the connection between weather and our mood is. A study by US researcher Matthew Keller found that warm and sunny weather improved mood only for people who spent more than 30 minutes outside. Good weather could make people in rooms feel worse, as they might feel unhappy about the fun outside.
1. Why did the writer ask questions at the beginning of the passage?
A. To tell us how to make a weather report.
B. To talk about the changes of feelings.
C. To show how we use weather to describe moods.
D. To let us know the difference between weather and feelings.
2. What would happen to waiters in restaurants in Minnesota on sunny days?
A. They would work harder. B. They would get more tips.
C. They would be more relaxed. D. They would feel uncomfortable.
3. What does “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Temperatures. B. Studies.
C. Moods. D. Changes.
4. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Weather and the Changing Moods B. Dancing with the Temperatures
C. People with Changing Moods D. Dark Moods on Sunny Days

Some people believe that carrying a rabbit’s foot brings good luck. In the past, if young hunters caught a rabbit, they were given the rabbit’s back foot as a reward.

You can buy CDs of your favourite music, listen to singers on the radio, and even watch them on TV. Thousands of years from now, people will know about our music because we have made recordings of it.
Thousands of years ago, recording music was impossible. So how do we know that people long ago played music? Because scientists have found flutes (长笛) that are 9,000 years old!
The flutes were found in China, in the Yellow River Valley. The flutes were made from the wingbones (翼骨) of a crane. People long ago caught this kind of long-necked bird and got their bones. They carved (雕刻) their bones and put holes in them. It was even more surprising that one flute could still be played.
“It makes a pleasant sound, a little thin, like a recorder (录音机),” one scientist described. The flute is also easy to learn and light to carry, so it is one of the most popular Chinese traditional instruments (乐器) in Asia.

Cigarette butts can kill fish, and they are in the stomachs (胃) of sea turtles, birds and other wildlife. A survey showed that though cigarette butts were everywhere, people paid no attention (注意) to them because they were so small.
But now, Dutch company Tech Tics is planning to help solve the cigarette problem with its Beach Bot (BB). It is a beach-cleaning robot. It uses AI to find cigarette butts on the beach. Even part of the butt in the sand can be found. BB has four wheels, two cameras and two arms to pick up cigarette butts. The way this robot works is very simple. Once it finds cigarette butts, BB just needs to put them into a bin (垃圾箱). After it finishes cleaning, people will deal with (处理) the waste.
However, BB still can’t tell the difference between things like a cigarette butt and a small seashell (贝壳). We can use the APP Microsof Trove to help it. Anyone with a smart phone can send BB photos of cigarette butts to help the robot learn to know them.
BB is able to pick up 20 cigarette butts successfully in 30 minutes now. Though the robot works well without wasting time, scientists still hope that people can throw rubbish less. If people stop throwing their cigarette butts onto the beach, robots like BB will not be necessary.

We produce (产生) waste every day and it is harmful to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. Here are some ideas for you.
Reduce
Reduce means “use less”. Don’t waste (浪费) things. This saves money and reduce pollution. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary—or maybe the old one is still useful.

Reuse means “use again”. When we buy things, make sure that they can last a long time. When something is broken, we should repair it instead of throwing it away and buying a new one. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china (瓷) cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle
Recycle means “change things into something else”. Though it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them.
So please remember these words: reduce, reuse and recycle.

Passage 9
(24-25八年级上•安徽合肥市新站区•期末)How do you feel today? Sunny or dark? This is not a weather report. In fact, we often use weather to describe our changing moods (心情). Weather not only helps us show our feelings but might also change them.
Sunshine is the most common one. Though the connection isn’t so strong, sunlight has been found to improve good feelings and let bad ones go away. When our mood improves, we could do things better. Studies show that people are more helpful when it’s sunny. For example, restaurants in Minnesota, USA, would receive more tips (小费) on sunny days. On the other hand, cloudy weather might make us think more seriously. One study found that managers in companies would pay more attention to workers’ skills on cloudy days.
Temperatures also have something to do with how we feel and act. We feel uncomfortable when it’s too hot or too cold. The temperatures change and people’s moods change too. Some studies showed that people didn’t want to help others when they were too high or too low.
However, what we’re doing and how we think decide how strong the connection between weather and our mood is. A study by US researcher Matthew Keller found that warm and sunny weather improved mood only for people who spent more than 30 minutes outside. Good weather could make people in rooms feel worse, as they might feel unhappy about the fun outside.
1. Why did the writer ask questions at the beginning of the passage?
A. To tell us how to make a weather report.
B. To talk about the changes of feelings.
C. To show how we use weather to describe moods.
D. To let us know the difference between weather and feelings.
2. What would happen to waiters in restaurants in Minnesota on sunny days?
A. They would work harder. B. They would get more tips.
C. They would be more relaxed. D. They would feel uncomfortable.
3. What does “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Temperatures. B. Studies.
C. Moods. D. Changes.
4. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Weather and the Changing Moods B. Dancing with the Temperatures
C. People with Changing Moods D. Dark Moods on Sunny Days
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A 4. A
