There are a lot of myths about our brains (头脑). One of the biggest myths is that we only use 10% of our brains. The next part of the myth is that if we can learn to use the rest of our brains, then we’ll be much smarter. People say this all the time, but it’s not true! The truth is that we don’t know everything about the brain, but we know that each part of it has an important use. So scientists think the “10% myth” is wrong. The other most popular myth is about the right brain and the left brain. According to this myth, people who often use the right brain are more creative. People who often use the left brain are better at Maths and Science. This is as popular as the 10% myth, and it’s also wrong. In 2013, a study at an American university shows we use the left brain as much as the right brain. It’s true that we use different parts of our brains for different things. We use our left brain for language more, and our right brain when we need to pay attention. Next let’s look at a few interesting facts about the brain. First of all, the brain feels no pain (痛苦). Second, about 75% of the brain is made of water. It’s also the fastest organ (器官) in your body. Here’s another interesting fact about the brain. Around the time you are 18 years old, it stops growing. 8．According to the facts in the passage,________ may use the left brain more. A．Robert, a young man learning Chinese B．Kate, a girl drawing pictures C．Jenny, a woman making clothes D．Jacob, a student good at Science 9．Which of the following is TRUE about the brain? A．Maths teachers use the left brain more often. B．We know everything about the brain. C．Most of the brain is made of water. D．It is always growing all your life. 10．The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refers to “________”. A．The left brain myth B．The right brain and left brain myth C．The 10 percent myth D．The study of an American university 11．The passage mainly tells us about ________ A．the growing of the brain B．different uses of the brain C．the right brain and the left brain D．myths and facts about the brain 【答案】8．A 9．C 10．B 11．D 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲了关于大脑的“仅使用 10%”和“左右脑功能区分”两大常见误解，并介绍了大脑无疼痛感、大部分由水构成等有趣事实。 8．细节理解题。根据“We use our left brain for language more, and our right brain when we need to pay attention.”可知，学习语言会更多使用左脑，Robert在学习中文。故选A。 9．推理判断题。根据“Second, about 75% of the brain is made of water.”可知，大脑大约75%由水构成，即大部分由水组成。故选C。 10．词句猜测题。根据“The other most popular myth is about the right brain and the left brain... This is as popular as the 10% myth, and it’s also wrong.”可知，“this”指代前文提到的关于右脑和左脑的说法。故选B。 11．主旨大意题。根据“There are a lot of myths about our brains. One of the biggest myths... The other most popular myth... Next let’s look at a few interesting facts about the brain.”可知，文章主要讲述了关于大脑的谣言和事实。故选D。 D Why “Useless” Science is So Important Imagine a scientist who wins the Nobel Prize. You might picture them in a lab, solving a huge problem like fighting cancer or stopping climate change. But the story behind the 2025 Nobel Prizes, and so many before them, shows a more interesting truth. Often, the most world-changing discoveries begin not with a clear goal, but with a scientist asking a curious question that seems, at the time, totally useless. This kind of exploration is called basic (基础的) research. Unlike designing a new phone or a faster car, basic research isn’t about creating a product. It is simply the brave and wonderful act of trying to understand the world’s deepest secrets—how life works, what matter is made of, and why things are the way they are. The Nobel Prizes celebrated those discoveries. Take the prize in Medicine 2025 for example. One researcher, Shimon Sakaguchi, became curious about a few immune cells (免疫细胞) that didn’t seem to fight germs (细菌). At the time, studying these cells seemed like a waste of time. Yet, this curiosity-driven work finally revealed that these cells, later named regulatory T cells, are actually “peacekeepers” that stop the body from attacking itself after nearly thirty years. That “useless” knowledge later became the key to understanding and treating serious diseases where the body’s immune system (系统) stops working correctly. Today, what started as a simple question is leading to new medicines that help retrain our body’s immune system. It proves that asking a simple “why” about something small can end up protecting millions of people. In another celebrated case, the Chemistry prize 2024 recognized work on designing and predicting (预测) the building blocks of life itself, which also began with questions that seemed impossible forever. For about 50 years, scientists wondered, “Can we design proteins (蛋白质) inside living things? Can a computer guess their 3-D shapes?” Back then, it was just knowledge and tools. They would never know from the very beginning that this long, basic research has provided a chance that allowed recent scientists to use AI to quickly map millions of proteins and create new ones, leading to new medicines and tools to deal with pollution. The powerful lesson from the Nobel stage is clear: you cannot schedule a breakthrough. The next time you find yourself lost in a question that seems to have no point—why the stars shine, how a spider builds its perfect web, or what sound a tree makes—remember that you are thinking like a Nobel winner, for it is in the search of seemingly useless questions that we finally find the tools to build a better future. 12．According to the passage, which of the following is the BEST example of “basic research”? A．A team tested several ways to find a longer-lasting battery for electric cars. B．A scientist studied body shapes of different birds because of his curiosity. C．A company did research to develop new, more comfortable sports shoes. D．Doctors ran tests to see if a new medicine works against heart disease. 13．What can we learn from the passage? A．All the immune cells have the job to fight germs to protect the body. B．Shimon Sakaguchi found Regulatory T cells may attack the body itself. C．Scientists today can discover in which way proteins are organized by AI. D．The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2024 was awarded for finding new medicine. 14．The word “revealed” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________. A．uncovered the truth B．invented the story C．seemed to show D．drew the conclusion 15．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To disagree that scientists should stop working on useful problems. B．To explain the process of creating a certain immune cell and protein. C．To prove that chemistry and medicine are important in modern science. D．To show how curiosity about strange questions can lead to big discoveries. 【答案】12．B 13．C 14．A 15．D 【解析】本文是一篇议论文，通过诺贝尔奖的案例阐述了基础研究（看似“无用”的科学）的重要性，强调好奇心驱动的探索最终可能带来重大突破。 12．细节理解题。根据“basic research isn’t about creating a product. It is simply the brave and wonderful act of trying to understand the world’s deepest secrets”和下文Shimon Sakaguchi研究看似无用的免疫细胞的例子可知，基础研究的特点是好奇心驱动且无直接应用目标。故选B。 13．推理判断题。根据“use AI to quickly map millions of proteins and create new ones”可知，现代科学家已能通过AI解析蛋白质结构。故选C。 14．词句猜测题。根据“this curiosity-driven work finally revealed that these cells…are actually ‘peacekeepers’”可知，这项由好奇心驱动的研究最终揭示，这些细胞实际上是“‘peacekeepers”，“revealed”指通过研究发现真相。故选A。 15．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，全文通过诺贝尔奖案例（如免疫细胞、蛋白质研究）论证核心观点：看似无用的好奇心能引发重大发现。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。 Tomatoes are very popular in the world.

They spend the short break running, playing and shouting 33 (happy) before going back to the classroom. But how should students spend their free time outside school? In Western countries, it is usual for students 34 (have) a part-time job after school and at weekends. Students can make 35 (they) own money and learn more about the “real world”. They enjoy the independence (独立) and of course money, and parents enjoy the quiet house. However, it 36 (seem) that, in China, parents care so much 37 their children’s studies that they prefer to see their children spend most of their free time studying and preparing for all those exams. It is 38 (nature) for parents to feel that way in China, but I believe the answer lies in balance (平衡). Sometimes, Western school children work long hours after school to make money, so they become too tired to listen in class 39 have no time for homework. But Chinese students spend so much time on their studies that other things become less important. So, find 40 good and happy balance! 【答案】 31．listening 32．boring 33．happily 34．to have 35．their 36．seems 37．about 38．natural 39．or 40．a 【解析】本文是一篇议论文。主要讨论了中学生如何平衡学习和课余生活的问题，对比了西方国家和中国学生在课余时间安排上的差异。 31．句意：学生们在课堂上度过他们的日子，听着老师有趣但有时无聊的话。空处作伴随状语，与主语“Students”是主动关系，用现在分词形式。listen“听”，动词，现在分词为listening。故填listening。 32．句意：学生们在课堂上度过他们的日子，听着老师有趣但有时无聊的话。空处修饰名词“words”，填形容词作定语。bore“使厌烦”，动词，修饰事物的形容词为boring“令人厌烦的”。故填boring。 33．句意：他们在短暂的休息时间里开心地奔跑、玩耍、大喊，然后回到教室。空处修饰动词“running, playing and shouting”，需用副词。happy“高兴的”，形容词，副词为happily“高兴地”。故填happily。 34．句意：在西方国家，学生通常在放学后和周末做兼职工作。此句为“it is+形容词+for sb to do sth”“对某人来说做某事是……的”结构，空处填动词不定式。have“有”，动词，不定式为to have。故填to have。 35．句意：学生可以赚取他们自己的钱并更多地了解“真实世界”。they“他们”，主格。空处修饰名词“own money”，需用形容词性物主代词their“他们的”。故填their。 36．句意：然而，在中国，父母似乎太关心孩子的学业了，以至于他们更愿意看到他们的孩子把大部分空闲时间都用来学习和准备各种考试。根据“parents care so much”可知，此句时态为一般现在时，主语“it”是第三人称单数，空处填动词三单形式。seem“似乎”，动词，三单形式为seems。故填seems。 37．句意：然而，在中国，父母似乎太关心孩子的学业了，以至于他们更愿意看到他们的孩子把大部分空闲时间都用来学习和准备各种考试。根据“their children’s studies”可知，此处指关心孩子的学习。care about“关心”，动词短语。故填about。 38．句意：在中国，父母有这种感觉是很自然的，但我认为答案在于平衡。此句为“it is+形容词+for sb to do sth”“对某人来说做某事是……的”结构，空处填形容词。nature“自然”，名词，形容词为natural“自然的”。故填natural。 39．句意：有时，西方学校的孩子放学后长时间工作赚钱，结果上课时他们变得太疲倦而无法专心听讲或者没有时间做作业。根据“become too tired”和“have no time”可知，此处列举由于课后长时间工作可能导致的性质相似的负面后果。用表示选择关系的连词or连接最合适。故填or。 40．句意：所以，找到一个好的和快乐的平衡吧！“balance”可数名词单数，此处泛指好且快乐的平衡，且“good”是以辅音音素开头的单词，用a修饰。故填a。 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，完成短文后的问题。 One of my least favorite chores is cleaning my bedroom, but I have to do it. If my bedroom is untidy, I find it hard to relax and impossible to do any work! My mom always says “a tidy home means a tidy mind”, and I think this is true. If everything is a mess, you just can’t think clearly. Studies show that people are usually more successful if they work, study, or live in a clean and tidy environment. A study shows that many children with bad behavior (行为) come from messy houses. Children who grow up in dirty houses would probably be unhealthy and they fall sick more often too. This is why people with tidier homes are often healthier and more successful. My mom is a good example of this. She makes sure our home is always very clean and comfortable, so my sister and I hardly ever fall sick. Everyone loves her and she is very successful at her job in a bank. I am not a naturally tidy person. I sometimes throw my clothes on the floor because I am too tired to put them away, and I often leave rubbish on my desk. It is not easy to keep things clean all the time, but I am trying to develop the habit of tidying up every day. Maybe one day I will be as tidy and successful as my mom! That’s my wish too. 41．What does the mother think a tidy home mean? 42．What might cause children’s bad behavior according to the study? 43．What environment makes the writer and his sister healthy? 44．What kind of person does the writer wish to be? 45．Is your bedroom tidy or messy? What do you plan to do from now on? 【答案】41．A tidy mind./It means a tidy mind./She thinks it means a tidy mind. 42．Messy houses./Messy house might cause children’s bad behavior (according to the study). 43．A very/Their clean and comfortable home. 44．A tidy and successful person as his mom./He wishes to be a tidy and successful person. 45．Messy. I plan to tidy it twice a week, and keep it tidy. 【解析】本文是一篇议论文。作者认为一个干净整洁的环境会使人在工作、学习和生活中变得更加舒适，更容易获得成功。 41．根据第一段“My mom always says ‘a tidy home means a tidy mind’”可知，作者的妈妈认为，整洁的家意味着整洁的头脑。故填A tidy mind./It means a tidy mind./She thinks it means a tidy mind. 42．根据第二段“A study shows that many children with bad behavior come from messy houses.”可知，根据这项研究，凌乱的房子可能会导致孩子的不良行为。故填Messy houses./Messy house might cause children’s bad behavior (according to the study). 43．根据第二段“My mom is a good example of this.

Here are the results.     A recent survey shows that 60% of the students support using computers. They believe computers are helpful for looking up information and learning English. Besides, computers also provide a good way to relax and broaden their horizons through various online resources. However, 40% of the students are against it. They argue that some students easily get addicted to playing computer games, which wastes valuable time. Also, staring at the screen for too long may harm their eyesight. In my opinion, computers are useful tools if we use them properly. We should avoid playing games too much and use computers to study instead.

At first, they were getting on well, but soon they had different ideas. “It was my idea,” Johnny said, “so I would just do it without you.” Then he walked away in anger. “Wow, I didn’t expect he’d get so mad,” Katie said. “Making a cardboard town is a lot of work,” said Max. “Johnny can’t do it all by himself. Maybe if we give him some space, he’ll want us to help again.” Johnny wanted the cardboard town done before New Year’s Day, but it was only two weeks away. When he started again, he found it was just too big a job. He couldn’t make the buildings out of boxes, put them around the town, and decorate them all by himself. It would take too long. “I guess that’s why people work together. When we each play a part, it is fun and everything goes a lot faster. Maybe I should say sorry to my friends. They were just trying to help and have fun with me,” Johnny said to himself. The next day at school Johnny said sorry to Katie and Max. “I don’t know why I got so mad. Will you come to my house tomorrow to finish our town?” Johnny asked. Katie and Max joyfully agreed. The three all took on a role and the town was done in no time. 4．How did Johnny feel when he and his friends had different ideas? A．Angry. B．Sad. C．Excited. D．Relaxed. 5．Why couldn’t Johnny finish the cardboard town before New Year’s Day? A．Because his friends didn’t want him to make it. B．Because his friends didn’t give him any advice.

D．Johnny finished the town with his parents. 7．What does this story want to tell us? A．A good beginning is half done. B．A good friend is like a mirror. C．Many hands make light work. D．Many drops make a shower. C A myth (迷) is something that is not correct, but many people believe. There are a lot of myths about our brains (头脑). One of the biggest myths is that we only use 10% of our brains. The next part of the myth is that if we can learn to use the rest of our brains, then we’ll be much smarter. People say this all the time, but it’s not true! The truth is that we don’t know everything about the brain, but we know that each part of it has an important use. So scientists think the “10% myth” is wrong. The other most popular myth is about the right brain and the left brain. According to this myth, people who often use the right brain are more creative. People who often use the left brain are better at Maths and Science. This is as popular as the 10% myth, and it’s also wrong. In 2013, a study at an American university shows we use the left brain as much as the right brain. It’s true that we use different parts of our brains for different things. We use our left brain for language more, and our right brain when we need to pay attention. Next let’s look at a few interesting facts about the brain. First of all, the brain feels no pain (痛苦). Second, about 75% of the brain is made of water. It’s also the fastest organ (器官) in your body. Here’s another interesting fact about the brain. Around the time you are 18 years old, it stops growing. 8．According to the facts in the passage,________ may use the left brain more. A．Robert, a young man learning Chinese B．Kate, a girl drawing pictures C．Jenny, a woman making clothes D．Jacob, a student good at Science 9．Which of the following is TRUE about the brain? A．Maths teachers use the left brain more often. B．We know everything about the brain. C．Most of the brain is made of water. D．It is always growing all your life. 10．The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refers to “________”. A．The left brain myth B．The right brain and left brain myth C．The 10 percent myth D．The study of an American university 11．The passage mainly tells us about ________ A．the growing of the brain B．different uses of the brain C．the right brain and the left brain D．myths and facts about the brain D Why “Useless” Science is So Important Imagine a scientist who wins the Nobel Prize. You might picture them in a lab, solving a huge problem like fighting cancer or stopping climate change. But the story behind the 2025 Nobel Prizes, and so many before them, shows a more interesting truth. Often, the most world-changing discoveries begin not with a clear goal, but with a scientist asking a curious question that seems, at the time, totally useless. This kind of exploration is called basic (基础的) research. Unlike designing a new phone or a faster car, basic research isn’t about creating a product. It is simply the brave and wonderful act of trying to understand the world’s deepest secrets—how life works, what matter is made of, and why things are the way they are. The Nobel Prizes celebrated those discoveries. Take the prize in Medicine 2025 for example. One researcher, Shimon Sakaguchi, became curious about a few immune cells (免疫细胞) that didn’t seem to fight germs (细菌). At the time, studying these cells seemed like a waste of time. Yet, this curiosity-driven work finally revealed that these cells, later named regulatory T cells, are actually “peacekeepers” that stop the body from attacking itself after nearly thirty years. That “useless” knowledge later became the key to understanding and treating serious diseases where the body’s immune system (系统) stops working correctly. Today, what started as a simple question is leading to new medicines that help retrain our body’s immune system. It proves that asking a simple “why” about something small can end up protecting millions of people. In another celebrated case, the Chemistry prize 2024 recognized work on designing and predicting (预测) the building blocks of life itself, which also began with questions that seemed impossible forever. For about 50 years, scientists wondered, “Can we design proteins (蛋白质) inside living things? Can a computer guess their 3-D shapes?” Back then, it was just knowledge and tools. They would never know from the very beginning that this long, basic research has provided a chance that allowed recent scientists to use AI to quickly map millions of proteins and create new ones, leading to new medicines and tools to deal with pollution. The powerful lesson from the Nobel stage is clear: you cannot schedule a breakthrough. The next time you find yourself lost in a question that seems to have no point—why the stars shine, how a spider builds its perfect web, or what sound a tree makes—remember that you are thinking like a Nobel winner, for it is in the search of seemingly useless questions that we finally find the tools to build a better future. 12．According to the passage, which of the following is the BEST example of “basic research”? A．A team tested several ways to find a longer-lasting battery for electric cars. B．A scientist studied body shapes of different birds because of his curiosity. C．A company did research to develop new, more comfortable sports shoes. D．Doctors ran tests to see if a new medicine works against heart disease. 13．What can we learn from the passage? A．All the immune cells have the job to fight germs to protect the body. B．Shimon Sakaguchi found Regulatory T cells may attack the body itself. C．Scientists today can discover in which way proteins are organized by AI. D．The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2024 was awarded for finding new medicine. 14．The word “revealed” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________. A．uncovered the truth B．invented the story C．seemed to show D．drew the conclusion 15．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To disagree that scientists should stop working on useful problems. B．To explain the process of creating a certain immune cell and protein. C．To prove that chemistry and medicine are important in modern science. D．To show how curiosity about strange questions can lead to big discoveries. 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。 Tomatoes are very popular in the world.

Our ways of 26 problems and our actions can reflect (反映) our personalities and values. If we learn from our mistakes instead of avoiding them, I’m sure we’re active and 27 people. If we always take our friends’ 28 into consideration when dealing with (处理) our friendships, then we are kind and understanding people. Therefore, it is a nice way to get to know ourselves through our experiences. However, we should remember not to be misled (被误导) by others’ opinions.

Students spend their days in class, 31 (listen) to the interesting and sometimes 32 (bore) words of teachers. They spend the short break running, playing and shouting 33 (happy) before going back to the classroom. But how should students spend their free time outside school? In Western countries, it is usual for students 34 (have) a part-time job after school and at weekends. Students can make 35 (they) own money and learn more about the “real world”. They enjoy the independence (独立) and of course money, and parents enjoy the quiet house. However, it 36 (seem) that, in China, parents care so much 37 their children’s studies that they prefer to see their children spend most of their free time studying and preparing for all those exams. It is 38 (nature) for parents to feel that way in China, but I believe the answer lies in balance (平衡). Sometimes, Western school children work long hours after school to make money, so they become too tired to listen in class 39 have no time for homework. But Chinese students spend so much time on their studies that other things become less important. So, find 40 good and happy balance! 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，完成短文后的问题。 One of my least favorite chores is cleaning my bedroom, but I have to do it. If my bedroom is untidy, I find it hard to relax and impossible to do any work! My mom always says “a tidy home means a tidy mind”, and I think this is true. If everything is a mess, you just can’t think clearly. Studies show that people are usually more successful if they work, study, or live in a clean and tidy environment. A study shows that many children with bad behavior (行为) come from messy houses. Children who grow up in dirty houses would probably be unhealthy and they fall sick more often too. This is why people with tidier homes are often healthier and more successful. My mom is a good example of this. She makes sure our home is always very clean and comfortable, so my sister and I hardly ever fall sick. Everyone loves her and she is very successful at her job in a bank. I am not a naturally tidy person. I sometimes throw my clothes on the floor because I am too tired to put them away, and I often leave rubbish on my desk. It is not easy to keep things clean all the time, but I am trying to develop the habit of tidying up every day. Maybe one day I will be as tidy and successful as my mom! That’s my wish too. 41．What does the mother think a tidy home mean? 42．What might cause children’s bad behavior according to the study? 43．What environment makes the writer and his sister healthy? 44．What kind of person does the writer wish to be? 45．Is your bedroom tidy or messy? What do you plan to do from now on? 第二节 写作（满分20分） 随着科技的进步，电脑越来越普遍，几乎每家每户都有电脑。你们学校对初二1600名学生使用电脑的看法进行了调查。请根据以下表格的内容和文字提示，以“A Survey on Computer Use”为题，写一篇英语作文。 注意： 1.参考词汇：沉迷：be addicted to... 2.词数要求100词左右。（该文章的标题和开头已给出，不计入总词数） 3.不得透露学校、姓名等任何个人信息，否则不予评分。 支持（60%） 理由：1.可以查资料，学习英语。 2.补充1—2点。 反对（40%） 理由：1.沉迷玩电脑游戏浪费时间。 2.补充1—2点。 你的观点并说明原因 …… A Survey on Computer Use Recently, we did a survey on computer use among 1600 students in Grade 8 in our school.
