The way that you stand, your hand gestures and the look on your face are all ways to communicate without words. Here are some basic movements along with explanations (解释) of their meanings to help you begin understanding body language. If someone rubs his chin (抚摩着下巴) when talking with you, it often means he doesn’t believe what you are saying. So when you see your friend making this gesture next time, you should know how he feels. However, this gesture could also be seen as a sign of deep thought in some cases. This is a gesture for good luck. Before people take exams, they often cross their fingers in the hope of getting good grades. Football fans do the same thing when their favourite team gets a penalty (点球)—they wish the player would score a goal. This means “I don’t know” or “I do not care”. If your friend shrugs his shoulders (耸肩膀) when invited to a party, it shows he is not very interested in going to the party. If your foreign English teacher scratches (挠) his or her head when you ask a question, it shows he or she is confused and might not have understood what you said. Either that, or the teacher can’t remember your name! He makes that gesture just to think about your name! 1．People usually cross their fingers when ________. A．they are bored B．they are angry C．they are full of confidence D．they hope for good luck or success 2．What can we learn from the text? A．Crossing one’s fingers is not a polite gesture.

D．If someone scratches his head, it means he is sure about his answer. 3．The writer wrote this text to ________.

Passage 3（议论文） （24-25八年级下·广东省中山市市一中·期中） In today’s world, applying to (申请) colleges, even jobs, asks questions about your volunteer experience. This is great! I know some people who are quick to talk about how they help others. Smiling big, they tell me about the number of volunteer hours. But sometimes I find out that they don’t even know the task (任务) of the group! Although this only happened twice, it really troubled me. So I start to think that maybe this isn’t the best way to think about helping others. ________ It should be more about making your community (社区) better, and learning what it means to be a good person in our world. You should think about helping others, not about how it will benefit you. The best way to fix this is to change what colleges and jobs ask for. Instead of asking “how many hours have you helped”, they should ask “how have you made things better for others”. They should ask people to explain, and look for people who really care and try hard, instead of just seeing the hours they’ve spent. We, the students, can also help fix this. Try to forget about the hours, because they’re not important. Choose groups you care about and learn about the people you’re helping. Don’t help because you have to but because it’s the right thing to do as a person. Next time you hear a friend talking about how many hours they’ve helped, tell them that numbers don’t change the world. 1．Which of the following can be put in “________”? A．Why don’t you try volunteering? B．Helping others shouldn’t be only about numbers. C．More and more people are helping the community. D．Maybe you know why to help others. 2．What does the underlined word “benefit” mean in Paragraph 2? A．Be interested in. B．Be good for. C．Be bad for. D．Be popular with. 3．To fix this, who should colleges and jobs look for? A．People who spend the longest hours in volunteering. B．People who benefit from helping others. C．People who really make a difference. D．People who learn about the group. 4．Which is NOT a good way for the students to think about? A．Helping because you have to. B．Caring about and choosing a group. C．Learning about the people in need. D．Thinking it’s the right thing to do. 5．What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the number of volunteer hours? A．The writer loves it very much. B．The writer agrees with it strongly. C．The writer is careful about it. D．The writer doesn’t think it is important. 主题04人与社会 ——旅游 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·广东省茂名市高州市部分学校·期中） Do you like travelling? If you are interested, come to our travel service.

Passage 2（议论文） （24-25八年级下·广东省深圳市福田区外国语学校·期中） Should we hand over every job to machines? Should we develop non-human minds that might eventually become more intelligent than humans and finally replace us? Should we risk losing control of our own future? These questions were asked by many scientists last month in a science meeting. In most people’s minds, the rapid development of AI is of great help to humans. For example, AI has helped humans develop new medicine and design new materials to help with climate change. When ChatGPT, a program developed by OpenAI, was first open to the public, it gained a million users in just one week, with that number quickly growing to 100 million within two months. It was widely used to do things like writing articles and creating speeches. However, some have started to worry. Will AI go against humans one day? Will AI take our place and all the people lose their jobs? Will bad people use AI to harm others? These worries make scientists stop developing AI and start to think about better ways to use this technology. Most of them agree that laws should be made to make sure that AI is used safely. Many governments are already taking action, though differently. For example, the UK, as well as the US,opens its arms for AI without any rules other than present ones because it regards it as a huge market. But Germany is more careful. It puts uses of AI in different areas into different levels of risk. Uses in some areas are not allowed, and companies that break the rules will be punished. Making laws is the government’s duty. For us common people, it may be more important to think about how we can work more effectively with Al. 1．How does the writer start this passage? A．By giving numbers. B．By comparing some facts. C．By raising questions. D．By giving some examples. 2．Why do the UK and the US open their arms for AI? A．Because they think AI brings good business. B．Because they have the best AI technology. C．Because they have a large market. D．Because they think AI is safe enough. 3．What do we know about Paragraph 6? A．The UK and the US don’t have rules for AI. B．Different countries deal with AI in different ways. C．Germany does not allow any use of AI. D．All countries are still thinking about Al rules. 4．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．Many governments agreed to stop developing AI. B．ChatGPT was used by up to 100 million people within two months. C．The UK and Germany handle AI in the same way. D．AI can solve major climate change problems. 5．What may the writer talk about next? A．How will AI develop in the future? B．Why do we need laws for AI use? C．How can people cooperate with AI? D．How does AI help solve problems?

The way that you stand, your hand gestures and the look on your face are all ways to communicate without words. Here are some basic movements along with explanations (解释) of their meanings to help you begin understanding body language. If someone rubs his chin (抚摩着下巴) when talking with you, it often means he doesn’t believe what you are saying. So when you see your friend making this gesture next time, you should know how he feels. However, this gesture could also be seen as a sign of deep thought in some cases. This is a gesture for good luck. Before people take exams, they often cross their fingers in the hope of getting good grades. Football fans do the same thing when their favourite team gets a penalty (点球)—they wish the player would score a goal. This means “I don’t know” or “I do not care”. If your friend shrugs his shoulders (耸肩膀) when invited to a party, it shows he is not very interested in going to the party. If your foreign English teacher scratches (挠) his or her head when you ask a question, it shows he or she is confused and might not have understood what you said. Either that, or the teacher can’t remember your name! He makes that gesture just to think about your name! 1．People usually cross their fingers when ________. A．they are bored B．they are angry C．they are full of confidence D．they hope for good luck or success 2．What can we learn from the text? A．Crossing one’s fingers is not a polite gesture.

Before people take exams, they often cross their fingers in the hope of getting good grades. Football fans do the same thing when their favourite team gets a penalty — they wish the player would score a goal.”可知，人们通常在希望获得好运或成功时交叉手指。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“This means ‘I don’t know’ or ‘I do not care’. If your friend shrugs his shoulders when invited to a party, it shows he is not very interested in going to the party.”可知，耸肩可以表示对某事不感兴趣，因此当被邀请参加晚宴时耸肩，能表明对晚宴没兴趣。故选C。 3．主旨大意题。根据“Here are some basic movements along with explanations of their meanings to help you begin understanding body language.”可知，作者写这篇文章是为了解释一些基本肢体语言的含义。故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25八年级下· 广东省广州市荔湾区真光中学·期中） Podcast is a radio show you can enjoy on the air or on your phone.

This is great! I know some people who are quick to talk about how they help others. Smiling big, they tell me about the number of volunteer hours. But sometimes I find out that they don’t even know the task (任务) of the group! Although this only happened twice, it really troubled me. So I start to think that maybe this isn’t the best way to think about helping others. ________ It should be more about making your community (社区) better, and learning what it means to be a good person in our world. You should think about helping others, not about how it will benefit you. The best way to fix this is to change what colleges and jobs ask for. Instead of asking “how many hours have you helped”, they should ask “how have you made things better for others”. They should ask people to explain, and look for people who really care and try hard, instead of just seeing the hours they’ve spent. We, the students, can also help fix this. Try to forget about the hours, because they’re not important. Choose groups you care about and learn about the people you’re helping. Don’t help because you have to but because it’s the right thing to do as a person. Next time you hear a friend talking about how many hours they’ve helped, tell them that numbers don’t change the world. 1．Which of the following can be put in “________”? A．Why don’t you try volunteering? B．Helping others shouldn’t be only about numbers. C．More and more people are helping the community. D．Maybe you know why to help others. 2．What does the underlined word “benefit” mean in Paragraph 2? A．Be interested in. B．Be good for. C．Be bad for. D．Be popular with. 3．To fix this, who should colleges and jobs look for? A．People who spend the longest hours in volunteering. B．People who benefit from helping others. C．People who really make a difference. D．People who learn about the group. 4．Which is NOT a good way for the students to think about? A．Helping because you have to. B．Caring about and choosing a group. C．Learning about the people in need. D．Thinking it’s the right thing to do. 5．What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the number of volunteer hours? A．The writer loves it very much. B．The writer agrees with it strongly. C．The writer is careful about it. D．The writer doesn’t think it is important. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文主要讨论了当前社会在申请大学或工作时过分关注志愿者服务时长的问题，并提出了改进建议。 1．推理判断题。根据下文“It should be more about making your community (社区) better, and learning what it means to be a good person in our world.”可知，帮助他人应该更多地是让社区变得更好，以及学会在世界上成为一个好人意味着什么，所以此处应强调帮助他人不应只看数字；选项B“帮助他人不应该仅仅与数字有关。”符合语境。故选B。 2．词义猜测题。根据第三段“You should think about helping others, not about how it will benefit you.”可知，作者希望人们想着帮助他人，而不是想着对自己有什么好处；据此可以推断划线单词“benefit”的意思是“对……有好处”，与“be good for”同义。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“The best way to fix this is...They should ask people to explain, and look for people who really care and try hard, instead of just seeing the hours they’ve spent.”可知，大学和工作单位应该寻找那些真正关心他人、努力付出并能真正带来改变的人，而不是只看志愿服务时长。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Don’t help because you have to but because it’s the right thing to do as a person.”可知，不要因为不得不去帮助他人，而要因为作为一个人这是正确的事情去帮助他人；因此，选项A“因为不得不去帮助”不是学生应该有的好的思考方式。故选A。 5．观点态度题。根据最后一段“Try to forget about the hours, because they’re not important.”以及“tell them that numbers don’t change the world”等内容可以看出，作者认为志愿者服务时长并不重要。故选D。 主题04人与社会 ——旅游 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·广东省茂名市高州市部分学校·期中） Do you like travelling?

Should we develop non-human minds that might eventually become more intelligent than humans and finally replace us? Should we risk losing control of our own future? These questions were asked by many scientists last month in a science meeting. In most people’s minds, the rapid development of AI is of great help to humans. For example, AI has helped humans develop new medicine and design new materials to help with climate change. When ChatGPT, a program developed by OpenAI, was first open to the public, it gained a million users in just one week, with that number quickly growing to 100 million within two months. It was widely used to do things like writing articles and creating speeches. However, some have started to worry. Will AI go against humans one day? Will AI take our place and all the people lose their jobs? Will bad people use AI to harm others?

Many governments are already taking action, though differently. For example, the UK, as well as the US,opens its arms for AI without any rules other than present ones because it regards it as a huge market. But Germany is more careful. It puts uses of AI in different areas into different levels of risk. Uses in some areas are not allowed, and companies that break the rules will be punished. Making laws is the government’s duty.
