Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”可知，答话人非常赞同前一句的观点，因此应选择表示完全同意的表达。故选C。 三、完形填空（本题共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 One quiet evening, while I was putting a book back on the bookshelf, my fingers brushed against a cold, dusty metal ___11___.

Here are three fun team-building games you can try. They will help you learn to communicate and think as a team. Game A: Group this You’ll need... 20-25 unrelated (无关联的) objects ❶Form several small groups. ❷Ask each group to arrange the objects into four categories (类别) within a certain amount of time. ❸ When time is up, have each group explain why they grouped the objects that way.

Remind him/her not to show it to the partner. ❹ Give the other member of each pair the drawing supplies. ❺Have the person with the drawing describe it to the partner, who will then try to recreate the picture. ❻Have all groups compare their results. Who did the best job? What difficulties did each group face? Game C: Cross the minefield You’ll need… ●An empty space, such as a basketball court ●Obstacles (障碍物): such as chairs and cardboard boxes ●Blindfolds (眼罩) ❶ Place your obstacles throughout the empty space. These are your “mines (地雷) ”. ❷Divide your team into pairs. ❸ Blindfold one person in each pair. ❹ Tell the person without the blindfold to guide his/ her partner through the course using only words. ☆To make things even harder, have more than one pair go through the course at the same time. 26.

Remind him/ her not to show it to the partner.”可知，Game B的规则是把团队分成若干组，每组两个人背对背坐，给每组一名成员一幅画，提醒他不要给同伴看，这与背对背绘画相符。故选D。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据Game C中“To make things even harder, have more than one pair go through the course at the same time.”可知，为了让事情更难，让不止一组同时穿过这个区域，与选项C中让几组同时移动相符。故选C。 B This summer, a touching story happened at Nantong Forest Wildlife Zoo. A mother named Ms. Huang called the zoo, hoping to get a refund (退款) for her 2-year-old daughter Ranran’s annual pass (年卡). Ranran was seriously ill and needed much money for treatment. The family was in great trouble and tried every way to save money. After knowing the situation, the zoo not only gave the full refund but also kept the pass valid (有效) for Ranran. What’s more, the zoo donated 50,000 yuan and collected all the coins from its wishing pool. The staff spent over 20 hours picking up and counting the coins, which added up to 12,083 yuan. They sent all the money to Ranran’s family to help with her treatment. This kind act soon became known to the public and moved many people. People used to throw coins into wishing pools just to make wishes, but few thought these coins could really make wishes come true. The zoo’s action made the wishing pool meaningful. It showed that even small kindness can make a big difference. Many internet users praised the zoo, saying it was “the warmest scenery of the summer”. Some even travelled from other places to throw coins into the zoo’s wishing pool, hoping to pass on the kindness. The warm story didn’t end there. Recently, the zoo emptied the wishing pool again and donated all the 29,584.5 yuan to the charity to help poor children get through the cold winter. Local government also helped Ranran get special subsidies for sick children. Now Ranran is receiving treatment and her family feels the warmth from the whole society. This story teaches us that kindness is contagious. Every small good deed, like a coin in the wishing pool, can bring hope to those in need. We should learn from the zoo and be ready to help others. When we work together, the world will become a warmer place. We also hope Ranran will recover (康复) soon and return to the zoo to see her favorite animals as promised. 29. Why did Ms. Huang call the zoo? A. To report her daughter’s recovery. B. To ask for free tickets for her daughter. C. To donate money to the zoo’s wishing pool. D. To get a refund for her daughter’s annual pass. 30. How much money does Ranran’s family get from the zoo in all? A. 12,083 yuan. B. 62,083 yuan. C. 29,584.5 yuan. D. 91,667.5 yuan. 31. Which of the following statements is similar to the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. Better to receive than to give. B. Out with the old, in with the new. C. Where there is kindness, there is hope. D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. 32. What is the best title of this story? A. A promise to help sick children B. A helping hand for animals C. A warm story about a wishing pool D. A wishing pool for donations 【答案】29. D 30. B 31. C 32. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了南通森林野生动物园为重病女童冉冉退款并捐赠钱款（含许愿池硬币）的暖心善举，其行为带动爱心传递，动物园后续又捐许愿池钱款助贫困儿童，政府也为冉冉提供补贴；文章借此说明善良具有感染力，小小的善举能为困境中的人带来希望，人人互助让世界更温暖。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“A mother named Ms. Huang called the zoo, hoping to get a refund (退款) for her 2-year-old daughter Ranran’s annual pass (年卡).”可知，黄女士打电话给动物园是希望为女儿的年卡办理退款，故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“the zoo donated 50,000 yuan and collected all the coins from its wishing pool. The staff spent over 20 hours picking up and counting the coins, which added up to 12,083 yuan. They sent all the money to Ranran’s family to help with her treatment.”可知，动物园为冉冉家捐赠了5万元，还将许愿池里清点出的12083元硬币也送给了他们，两项加起来共计62083元，故选B。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Every small good deed, like a coin in the wishing pool, can bring hope to those in need.”可知，这句话表达了小小的善举能为有需要的人带来希望，和选项C“哪里有善良，哪里就有希望”表达的含义相近，故选C。 【32题详解】 最佳标题题。根据全文内容可知，故事围绕南通森林野生动物园的许愿池展开，动物园从许愿池取硬币帮助冉冉，后续又清空许愿池捐款，这个温暖的故事都与许愿池紧密相关，最佳标题是“一个关于许愿池的温暖故事”。故选C。 C On the island of Spitsbergen an arctic fox pranced, pounced, and played. Spitsbergen is in Svalbard, an island group that is part of Norway. Meanwhile (同时), nearby, scientists observed, recorded, and learned. This little blue fox, and about 50 others like her, wore tracking collars (跟踪项圈) so researchers could study their movements from far. One day, the arctic fox did something that drew their attention. In a valley by the sea, she began a remarkable (引人注意的) journey. Meanwhile, nearby, scientists observed, recorded, and learned. Each time the little fox came to sea water, she turned and went a different way. Eventually, she found a path where the ice covered the ocean and she left the island. On a bridge made of ice, the arctic fox galloped (飞奔). She galloped, and galloped, and galloped. Meanwhile, from a distance, scientists observed, recorded, and waited. After walking for 21 days, the fox arrived in Greenland. She had travelled more than 900 miles. She had gone so far, so fast, that at first the scientists had a hard time believing she was travelling on her own. Could she be on a boat? No, that wasn’t possible. Boats can’t travel that far in the ice! Did the fox stop in Greenland, to live atop the glaciers (冰川)? No. She kept going. In Greenland, the arctic fox trekked (长途跋涉). She trekked, and trekked, and trekked. Meanwhile, from a distance, scientists observed, recorded, and marveled (大为赞叹). Greenland isn’t green — it’s covered by a huge sheet of ice. The little fox used this slippery surface to travel farther and faster than before. Did the fox stop there? No. She kept going. On the great ice sheet, the arctic fox glided. She glided, and glided, and glided. Meanwhile, far away, scientists observed, recorded, and waited. Eventually, she reached Canada. It’s very cold in the Arctic Circle, too cold for many animals. But it’s perfect for arctic foxes. They have some of the warmest fur in the animal kingdom. Did the fox stop there? No. She kept going. In Canada, the arctic fox explored. She explored, and explored, and explored. Meanwhile, very far away, scientists observed, recorded, and wondered. After travelling for 76 days, the fox reached Ellesmere Island, the northernmost point of land in Canada. She had gone more than 2,700 miles! Did the fox stop there, to live in the mountainous land of the musk oxen? Yes, she did!

It was a delivery man (快递员). “Sign here, please,” he said. I signed. Then he handed me...an elephant. I had never ordered an elephant. It couldn’t be a prize from a contest, because I never entered those. But the package had my name on it, and everything was paid for. “I don’t want it,” I said. But the delivery man was firm: I had signed, so the elephant was mine. That’s how my life with the elephant began. At first, I kept him in my apartment, but he was too big for the stairs and the lift. He took up the whole dining room! Then I tried putting him in the building’s garage, but the other people who lived there complained. Everyone had only one parking space, so I left my car outside and kept the elephant in the garage. I didn’t have enough money to buy gas for my car and also feed the elephant—he ate fifty pounds of food a day! So I started riding the elephant to work instead. He was friendly and turned out to be faster and more comfortable than the bus. In the beginning, I felt embarrassed when people pointed and laughed. “Look at that crazy man with the elephant,” they said. And the traffic police gave me such dirty looks. I would leave the elephant in the office parking lot, then pick him up at the end of the day. He always waited for me patiently. But soon, things changed. Everyone who had a cat or a dog started to envy (嫉妒) me. Newspapers wrote about us and even printed our picture. People invited me to parties and asked me to bring the elephant. He was always a hit! My boss borrowed the elephant one weekend, and soon I got a better job at work. A builder asked if my elephant could help with some construction. Children in the neighborhood came to play with him, and I started giving rides around the city. We became very popular. That was the best time of my life. But one day, two men came to my door with some papers. They said the elephant had been sent to me by mistake—a shipping error (错误)—and I had to give him back. My only comfort was that he was going to a circus (马戏团), where he’d have more fun. Still, when we said goodbye, I cried. I often think of my friend, the elephant, and the time I spent with him was unforgettable. I pity anyone who has never had such an unusual, crazy experience. Take my advice: if you have enough money, buy an elephant. You’ll have a wonderful time. I have no money. I can only hope for another shipping error. 37. According to the passage, why did the writer’s life become different after receiving the elephant? A. Because the elephant helped him save a lot of money on shipping. B. Because the elephant made him popular and improved his social life. C. Because the elephant felt uncomfortable after he was going to a circus. D.

A big success in the city. D. A heavy strike on the writer. 39. What does the writer really mean by saying, “if you have enough money, buy an elephant…”? A.

They can come from heavy rains or big waves from the sea. Floods can be very dangerous. Every year, thousands of people lose their lives because of floods. Floods also cause many other serious problems. In 2024, more than 19 million people had to leave their homes because of floods. That’s like moving everyone in a whole country, such as Somalia (索马里) or the Netherlands (荷兰) . Floods can also damage roads, bridges and schools. In 2023, floods in Slovenia (斯洛文尼亚) caused damage equal to about 16% of the country’s economy. In the United States, floods cost billions of dollars every year. After a flood, food can become hard to find, and dirty water can spread disease. Floods are becoming more common, and one major reason is the rising temperature of the Earth. Warmer air can hold more water, leading to heavier rain and stronger storms. Also, dry ground cannot absorb water well, so water runs quickly into low-lying areas and causes floods. Another important reason is rising sea levels, which make coastal floods worse. Large waves push more water onto the land. Scientists say that by the year 2100, major floods that once happened only once every 100 years may occur every year. Many cities could then face serious danger. So, what can we do to deal with floods? There are some clear ways. First, we can depend on warning systems. These systems can tell people when floods are coming, so everyone has enough time to get to safe places before the disaster hits. Second, we can build sea walls to stop floodwater from spreading onto the land. Third, cities can be turned into “sponge cities” by building special streets and green spaces—these features help soak up rainwater, slow it down and reduce the risk of flooding. Finally, in some specific areas, we can carry out a plan called “managed retreat” that scientists say this is the safest way. This means moving people away from these areas that flood again and again. Floods are a big challenge. But if we work together and plan well, we can stay safe and protect our homes. By understanding the causes and taking action, we can make a real difference. 66. Where do floods mainly come from? _____________________________________________________________________________________ 67. How many people had to leave their homes in 2024 because of the floods? _____________________________________________________________________________________ 68. Why are floods becoming more common? _____________________________________________________________________________________ 69. How do “sponge cities” help reduce flood risks? _____________________________________________________________________________________ 70. What can we do to keep safe and sound if there is a flood? (言之有理即可) _____________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】66. They mainly come from heavy rains or big waves from the sea. 67. More than/Over 19 million people. 68. Because the Earth is getting warmer (warmer air holds more water, causing heavier rain), dry ground can’t absorb water well, and sea levels are rising. 69. By building special streets and green spaces. /By soaking up rainwater and slowing it down. 70. We should quickly move to higher ground or safe shelters away from the water. (言之有理即可) 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了洪水的来源、危害、成因，并提出了应对洪水的多种措施，强调通过合作与规划可以保障安全、减少灾害影响。 【66题详解】 根据“They can come from heavy rains or big waves from the sea.”可知，洪水主要来自大雨或海上的大浪。故填They mainly come from heavy rains or big waves from the sea. 【67题详解】 根据“In 2024, more than 19 million people had to leave their homes because of floods.”可知，2024年有超过1900万人因为洪水不得不离开家园。故填More than/Over 19 million people. 【68题详解】 根据“Floods are becoming more common, and one major reason is the rising temperature of the Earth.”“Also, dry ground cannot absorb water well, so water runs quickly into low-lying areas and causes floods.”和“Another important reason is rising sea levels, which make coastal floods worse.”可知，洪水变得更常见的主要原因是地球温度上升、干涸的土地吸水不好导致水迅速流向低洼地区引发洪水，另一个重要原因是海平面上升。故填Because the Earth is getting warmer (warmer air holds more water, causing heavier rain), dry ground can’t absorb water well, and sea levels are rising. 【69题详解】 根据“Third, cities can be turned into ‘sponge cities’ by building special streets and green spaces—these features help soak up rainwater, slow it down and reduce the risk of flooding.”可知，“海绵城市”通过建造特殊的街道和绿地，帮助吸收雨水、减缓水流，从而降低洪水风险。故填By building special streets and green spaces./By soaking up rainwater and slowing it down. 【70题详解】 开放性试题，答案合理即可。故填We should quickly move to higher ground or safe shelters away from the water. 八、句子租译（本题共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 71. 因此，大熊猫可能没有地方住。(have...to do) _____________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】As a result, giant pandas may have no place to live. 【解析】 【详解】根据中文提示可知，本句为一般现在时，“因此”as a result；“大熊猫”giant pandas；“可能”may，情态动词后面跟动词原形；“没有地方住”have no place to live，to live作后置定语，修饰前面的名词place。故填As a result, giant pandas may have no place to live. 72. 他对学习的热爱使他与众不同。 (set...apart from...) _____________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】His great love of/for learning set him apart from many others. 【解析】 【详解】根据汉语意思可知，句子时态是一般过去时（描述过去发生的事情）。“他对学习的热爱”英文为“his great love of/for learning”，作主语；set sb apart from many others“让某人与众不同”，此处sb用him作set的宾语，时态为一般过去时，set用过去式set。故填His great love of/for learning set him apart from many others. 73. 我们互相扔雪球，跑着，笑着。 (throw…at…) _____________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】We throw snowballs at each other, running and laughing. 【解析】 【详解】根据汉语意思可知，此句时态用一般现在时。我们“we”，作主语；互相扔雪球“throw snowballs at each other”，throw为谓语动词，snowballs是宾语，at each other为介词短语；跑着，笑着“running and laughing”，现在分词作伴随状语。故填We throw snowballs at each other, running and laughing. 74. 他们可以成立志愿者小组来保护湿地免受污染的危害。(keep…from…) _____________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】They can set up volunteer groups to help keep wetlands from pollution./They can set up a volunteer group to help keep wetlands from pollution. 【解析】 【详解】根据汉语意思可知，此句为一般现在时。“他们”they，放句首，首字母大写；“可以”can，“成立”set up，情态动词后接动词原形；“志愿者小组”volunteer group，单复数皆可volunteer groups/a volunteer group；“来帮助”to help，不定式作目的状语；“保护……免受……的伤害”keep…from…，“湿地wetland，此处没有表示单数的限定词，所以用复数形式wetlands；“污染”pollution，是不可数名词。故填They can set up volunteer groups to help keep wetlands from pollution./They can set up a volunteer group to help keep wetlands from pollution.。 75. 我的脑海中掠过一阵恐惧，但我告诉自己要冷静下来。 (a moment of…) _____________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】A moment of fear went through my mind, but I told myself to calm down. 【解析】 【详解】根据汉语意思可知，事情已经发生，所以句子时态用一般过去时。“一阵恐惧”译为“A moment of fear”，作主语，注意首字母大写；“掠过我的脑海”译为“go through my mind”，go的过去式为went；“但是”译为“but”，“我告诉自己要……”译为“I tell myself to…”，tell的过去式为told，“冷静”译为“calm down”。故填A moment of fear went through my mind, but I told myself to calm down. 九、书面表达（满分20分） 76. 过去的一年是成长与收获的一年。学校英文报将开设“My Year of Growth”专栏，面向八年级学生征集短文。请你从下图中任选或自拟一个方面，写一篇短文，分享你的成长经历。 要求： 1. 词数90左右，开头已给出，不计入总词数； 2. 短文中需涵盖所有要点 (experiences, feelings, plans)； 3. 文中不得出现真实姓名、校名等信息。 My Year of Growth Time flies!

Here are three fun team-building games you can try. They will help you learn to communicate and think as a team. Game A: Group this You’ll need... 20-25 unrelated (无关联的) objects ❶Form several small groups. ❷Ask each group to arrange the objects into four categories (类别) within a certain amount of time. ❸ When time is up, have each group explain why they grouped the objects that way. Game B: __▲ __ You’ll need… ●Paper for drawing ●Pens or pencils ●A simple drawing for every two people ❶ Divide your team into pairs. ❷Have each pair sit back-to-back. ❸ Give one member of each pair a drawing. Remind him/her not to show it to the partner. ❹ Give the other member of each pair the drawing supplies. ❺Have the person with the drawing describe it to the partner, who will then try to recreate the picture. ❻Have all groups compare their results. Who did the best job? What difficulties did each group face? Game C: Cross the minefield You’ll need… ●An empty space such as a basketball court ●Obstacles (障碍物): such as chairs and cardboard boxes ●Blindfolds (眼罩) ❶ Place your obstacles throughout the empty space. These are your “mines (地雷) ”. ❷Divide your team into pairs. ❸ Blindfold one person in each pair. ❹ Tell the person without the blindfold to guide his/ her partner through the course using only words. ☆To make things even harder, have more than one pair go through the course at the same time. 26. What do the team members need to do with the objects in Game A? A. Hide them for others to find. B. Describe how each one is used. C. Put them into groups and give reasons. D. Find the most valuable object and explain why. 27. Which of the following games can be put in ▲ for Game B? A. Talk and walk B. Guess the word C. Find the difference D. Draw back-to-back 28. According to the author, the last game can be made more difficult by ________. A. choosing a smaller empty space B. adding more obstacles to the field C. letting several pairs move at the same time D. asking the guided person to run instead of walking B This summer, a touching story happened at Nantong Forest Wildlife Zoo. A mother named Ms. Huang called the zoo, hoping to get a refund (退款) for her 2-year-old daughter Ranran’s annual pass (年卡). Ranran was seriously ill and needed much money for treatment. The family was in great trouble and tried every way to save money. After knowing the situation, the zoo not only gave the full refund but also kept the pass valid (有效) for Ranran. What’s more, the zoo donated 50,000 yuan and collected all the coins from its wishing pool. The staff spent over 20 hours picking up and counting the coins, which added up to 12,083 yuan. They sent all the money to Ranran’s family to help with her treatment. This kind act soon became known to the public and moved many people. People used to throw coins into wishing pools just to make wishes, but few thought these coins could really make wishes come true. The zoo’s action made the wishing pool meaningful. It showed that even small kindness can make a big difference. Many internet users praised the zoo, saying it was “the warmest scenery of the summer”. Some even travelled from other places to throw coins into the zoo’s wishing pool, hoping to pass on the kindness. The warm story didn’t end there. Recently, the zoo emptied the wishing pool again and donated all the 29,584.5 yuan to the charity to help poor children get through the cold winter. Local government also helped Ranran get special subsidies for sick children. Now Ranran is receiving treatment and her family feels the warmth from the whole society. This story teaches us that kindness is contagious. Every small good deed, like a coin in the wishing pool, can bring hope to those in need. We should learn from the zoo and be ready to help others. When we work together, the world will become a warmer place. We also hope Ranran will recover (康复) soon and return to the zoo to see her favorite animals as promised. 29. Why did Ms. Huang call the zoo? A. To report her daughter’s recovery. B. To ask for free tickets for her daughter. C. To donate money to the zoo’s wishing pool. D. To get a refund for her daughter’s annual pass. 30. How much money does Ranran’s family get from the zoo in all? A. 12,083 yuan. B. 62,083 yuan. C. 29,584.5 yuan. D. 91,667.5 yuan. 31. Which of the following statements is similar to the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. Better to receive than to give. B. Out with the old, in with the new. C. Where there is kindness, there is hope. D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. 32. What is the best title of this story? A. A promise to help sick children B. A helping hand for animals C. A warm story about a wishing pool D. A wishing pool for donations C On the island of Spitsbergen an arctic fox pranced, pounced, and played. Spitsbergen is in Svalbard, an island group that is part of Norway. Meanwhile (同时), nearby, scientists observed, recorded, and learned. This little blue fox, and about 50 others like her, wore tracking collars (跟踪项圈) so researchers could study their movements from far. One day, the arctic fox did something that drew their attention. In a valley by the sea, she began a remarkable (引人注意的) journey. Meanwhile, nearby, scientists observed, recorded, and learned. Each time the little fox came to sea water, she turned and went a different way. Eventually, she found a path where the ice covered the ocean and she left the island. On a bridge made of ice, the arctic fox galloped (飞奔). She galloped, and galloped, and galloped. Meanwhile, from a distance, scientists observed, recorded, and waited. After walking for 21 days, the fox arrived in Greenland. She had travelled more than 900 miles. She had gone so far, so fast, that at first the scientists had a hard time believing she was travelling on her own. Could she be on a boat? No, that wasn’t possible. Boats can’t travel that far in the ice! Did the fox stop in Greenland, to live atop the glaciers (冰川)? No. She kept going. In Greenland, the arctic fox trekked (长途跋涉). She trekked, and trekked, and trekked. Meanwhile, from a distance, scientists observed, recorded, and marveled (大为赞叹). Greenland isn’t green — it’s covered by a huge sheet of ice. The little fox used this slippery surface to travel farther and faster than before. Did the fox stop there? No. She kept going. On the great ice sheet, the arctic fox glided. She glided, and glided, and glided. Meanwhile, far away, scientists observed, recorded, and waited. Eventually, she reached Canada. It’s very cold in the Arctic Circle, too cold for many animals. But it’s perfect for arctic foxes. They have some of the warmest fur in the animal kingdom. Did the fox stop there? No. She kept going. In Canada, the arctic fox explored. She explored, and explored, and explored. Meanwhile, very far away, scientists observed, recorded, and wondered. After travelling for 76 days, the fox reached Ellesmere Island, the northernmost point of land in Canada. She had gone more than 2,700 miles! Did the fox stop there, to live in the mountainous land of the musk oxen? Yes, she did! She had seen many amazing sights, from the coastal shores of Svalbard, to the glaciers of Greenland, to the icy mountains of her new home. On Ellesmere Island, the arctic fox pranced, pounced, and played. Meanwhile, scientists observed, recorded, and learned. Then, one day, her tracking collar stopped working. Is she still living there, in the Great White North? No one knows. But now we understand how important the sea ice is to wild wanderers (流浪者) like her. 33. According to the passage, which picture shows the correct route the fox travelled? A. B. C. D. 34. Why does the author repeat the question “Did the fox stop…?” several times in the passage? A. To teach us how the tracking collar works. B. To tell us the scientists were not sure about the fox. C. To show that arctic foxes can walk without stopping. D. To make us keep wondering what the fox would do next. 35. What made the fox’s long journey possible, according to the passage? A. The sea ice formed a pathway connecting different lands. B. The fox was wearing a tracking collar that guided her way. C. The scientists were observing and recording her movements closely. D. The fox had the warmest fur against the cold in the animal kingdom. 36. What is this passage mainly about? A. The difficult life of arctic foxes in winter. B. How scientists track animals in the Arctic. C. Why arctic foxes travel without stopping. D. An arctic fox’s amazing long journey over ice. D There was a knock at the door. It was a delivery man (快递员). “Sign here, please,” he said. I signed. Then he handed me...an elephant. I had never ordered an elephant. It couldn’t be a prize from a contest, because I never entered those. But the package had my name on it, and everything was paid for. “I don’t want it,” I said. But the delivery man was firm: I had signed, so the elephant was mine. That’s how my life with the elephant began. At first, I kept him in my apartment, but he was too big for the stairs and the lift. He took up the whole dining room! Then I tried putting him in the building’s garage, but the other people who lived there complained. Everyone had only one parking space, so I left my car outside and kept the elephant in the garage. I didn’t have enough money to buy gas for my car and also feed the elephant—he ate fifty pounds of food a day! So I started riding the elephant to work instead. He was friendly and turned out to be faster and more comfortable than the bus. In the beginning, I felt embarrassed when people pointed and laughed. “Look at that crazy man with the elephant,” they said. And the traffic police gave me such dirty looks. I would leave the elephant in the office parking lot, then pick him up at the end of the day. He always waited for me patiently. But soon, things changed. Everyone who had a cat or a dog started to envy (嫉妒) me. Newspapers wrote about us and even printed our picture. People invited me to parties and asked me to bring the elephant. He was always a hit! My boss borrowed the elephant one weekend, and soon I got a better job at work. A builder asked if my elephant could help with some construction. Children in the neighborhood came to play with him, and I started giving rides around the city. We became very popular. That was the best time of my life. But one day, two men came to my door with some papers. They said the elephant had been sent to me by mistake—a shipping error (错误)—and I had to give him back. My only comfort was that he was going to a circus (马戏团), where he’d have more fun. Still, when we said goodbye, I cried. I often think of my friend, the elephant, and the time I spent with him was unforgettable. I pity anyone who has never had such an unusual, crazy experience. Take my advice: if you have enough money, buy an elephant. You’ll have a wonderful time. I have no money. I can only hope for another shipping error. 37. According to the passage, why did the writer’s life become different after receiving the elephant? A. Because the elephant helped him save a lot of money on shipping. B. Because the elephant made him popular and improved his social life. C. Because the elephant felt uncomfortable after he was going to a circus. D. Because the elephant became famous and attracted the police’s attention. 38. What does the underlined word “hit” mean? A. A loud noise in the party. B. A dirty look from the police. C. A big success in the city. D. A heavy strike on the writer. 39. What does the writer really mean by saying, “if you have enough money, buy an elephant…”? A. He really thinks that everyone tries to buy an elephant. B. He is joking but means that special experiences are priceless. C. He hopes not to make mistakes again and offers serious advice. D. He wants people to know that elephants are better than cats or dogs. 40. What is the correct order of the following events according to the passage? ①Ride the elephant to work. ④Give the elephant back to the circus. ②Lend the elephant to the boss. ⑤Pick the elephant up in the parking lot. ③Receive the elephant by mistake. A. ①⑤②③④ B. ①⑤③②④ C. ③①⑤②④ D. ③①④⑤② 第六节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有一项为多余选项。 English Composition (作文) Writing Guide for Grade 8 Writing a good English composition is not difficult if you master some useful skills.

They can come from heavy rains or big waves from the sea. Floods can be very dangerous. Every year, thousands of people lose their lives because of floods. Floods also cause many other serious problems. In 2024, more than 19 million people had to leave their homes because of floods. That’s like moving everyone in a whole country, such as Somalia (索马里) or the Netherlands (荷兰) . Floods can also damage roads, bridges and schools. In 2023, floods in Slovenia (斯洛文尼亚) caused damage equal to about 16% of the country’s economy. In the United States, floods cost billions of dollars every year. After a flood, food can become hard to find, and dirty water can spread disease. Floods are becoming more common, and one major reason is the rising temperature of the Earth. Warmer air can hold more water, leading to heavier rain and stronger storms. Also, dry ground cannot absorb water well, so water runs quickly into low-lying areas and causes floods. Another important reason is rising sea levels, which make coastal floods worse. Large waves push more water onto the land. Scientists say that by the year 2100, major floods that once happened only once every 100 years may occur every year. Many cities could then face serious danger. So, what can we do to deal with floods? There are some clear ways. First, we can depend on warning systems. These systems can tell people when floods are coming, so everyone has enough time to get to safe places before the disaster hits. Second, we can build sea walls to stop floodwater from spreading onto the land. Third, cities can be turned into “sponge cities” by building special streets and green spaces—these features help soak up rainwater, slow it down and reduce the risk of flooding. Finally, in some specific areas, we can carry out a plan called “managed retreat” that scientists say this is the safest way. This means moving people away from these areas that flood again and again. Floods are a big challenge. But if we work together and plan well, we can stay safe and protect our homes. By understanding the causes and taking action, we can make a real difference. 66.
