His face was 3 , and he was rubbing his right wrist—he’d fallen off his bike. I wanted to help, but I remembered Mum’s rule. Just then, Leo tried to stand up but fell again. I 4 that I couldn’t leave him alone. I helped him clean his wound (伤口) and called his mom using my phone. Right after the call, my phone ran out of battery (没电了). We waited for 20 minutes. With no phone, I couldn’t call my family. When I 5 home, it was 6:40 p.m. Mum was standing at the door, looking 6 . Before I could explain, Dad 7 , “Why are you so late? We’ve been waiting!” I told them what happened 8 in a low voice, and my voice was a little shaky. To my surprise, Mum smiled and said, “You did great.

Relations between my parents have become difficult. They fight a lot, and I really don’t like it. It’s the only communication they have. I don’t know if I should say anything to them about this. When they argue, it’s like a big, black cloud hanging over our home. Also, my elder brother is not very nice to me. He always refuses to let me watch my favourite TV show. Instead, he watches whatever he wants until late at night. I don’t think this is fair. At home I always feel lonely and nervous. Is that normal? What can I do? Sad and Thirteen Dear Sad and Thirteen, It’s not easy being your age, and it’s normal to have these feelings. Why don’t you talk about these feelings with your family? If your parents are having problems, you should offer to help. Maybe you could do more jobs around the house so that they have more time for proper communication. Secondly, why don’t you sit down and communicate with your brother? You should explain that you don’t mind him watching TV all the time. However, he should let you watch your favourite show. I hope things will be better for you soon. Robert Hunt 1．What’s Sad and Thirteen’s problem? A．He can’t get on with his family. B．He doesn’t talk to his parents. C．He can’t watch television.

B．Never talk to his elder brother. C．Tell his parents and fight with his brother. D．Argue with his elder brother until his brother apologizes. 七、七选五 Do you often feel worried?

But when she became an eighth-grader, things started to change. “We often argue, sometimes because of unimportant things,” she said. Maybe Wang has got the “eighth-grade syndrome (综合征)”. Some experts think eighth-graders usually suffer a lot because of the changes in their body and mind. The lack (缺乏) of support is also a possible reason. Wang’s classmate Liu Shijia is an example. “The exams in Grade 8 are more difficult, but my parents still don’t support me,” she said sadly. As eighth-graders enter the rebellious phase (叛逆期), they want to be free and have their own ideas. The survey shows that eighth-graders may try to persuade (说服) their parents when they have different ideas. Wang feels this deeply. She thinks there is nothing wrong with playing with boys, but her parents don’t agree with her. They often argue about this. To deal with these problems, an expert from Jiangsu gives useful advice to eighth-graders. “First, calm down and pay more attention to your studies. Second, develop some interests and share them with your parents. Finally, learn about your changes and know yourself well. Then try to accept them,” she said. 1．Why do students have “eighth-grade syndrome”? _________________________________________________ 2．What may eighth-graders do when they have different ideas? _________________________________________________ 3．How many suggestions does the expert from Jiangsu give students to deal with these problems? _________________________________________________ 4．What is the first suggestion？ _________________________________________________ 5．Do you think you’re old enough to make decisions by yourself? Why?

(lose) 【答案】lost 【详解】句意：大象很聪明，可以走很长时间，不会迷路。get lost“迷路”，固定用法。故填lost。 四、完成句子 1．他说话声音低。要听清楚他说的话太难了。 He speaks ________ ________ ________ ________. It’s too hard to hear him clearly. 【答案】 in a low voice 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，此处缺少“声音低”。空格位于动词speaks之后，作方式状语，表示“以低的声音”，应用介词短语in a low voice。故填in；a；low；voice。 2．儿子气喘吁吁地跑进门。 The son ________ ________ the door , ________ ________ ________. 【答案】 runs through out of breath 【详解】句意：儿子气喘吁吁地跑进门。主语the son是第三人称单数，一般现在时中动词用第三人称单数形式runs；run through the door表示 “跑进门”；out of breath是固定短语，意为 “气喘吁吁”，在句中作伴随状语，说明主语跑进门时的状态。 3．一诺千金！ A deal is ________ ________. 【答案】 a deal 【详解】这是一句固定的英语习语，字面意思是“交易就是交易”，引申为“一诺千金”，强调要信守约定。故填a；deal。 4．你没遵守承诺，所以下次不能再晚归。 The promise ________ ________, so you can’t ________ ________ ________ next time. 【答案】 wasn’t kept stay out late 【详解】原句中“没有遵守”和“晚归”是关键信息，表示“遵守承诺”的固定搭配是keep the promise，句子主语“The promise”与动词keep是被动关系，应用一般过去时的被动语态强调过去未遵守，主语是单数，用wasn’t，动词keep的过去分词为kept；表示“晚归”的短语是stay out late，情态动词“can’t”后接动词原形stay。故填wasn’t；kept；stay；out；late。 5．你就是不懂我。 You just don’t ________ _________ 【答案】 get me 【详解】原句中“懂我”是关键词。句中“don’t”提示句子时态为一般现在时；表示“理解我”用get me（俚语，尤其用于非正式语境），动词get后接me“我”的宾格形式。加上“just”‌强调语气，带有无奈、委屈或不满的情绪，相当于“你就是不懂我！”‌或“你根本不懂我！”‌ 6．一定要捡起地上的垃圾。 Be sure to ________ ________ the litter on the ground. 【答案】 pick up 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，此处缺少“捡起”。“pick up”是固定短语，意为“捡起，拾起”。同时，“be sure to do sth.”是固定搭配，意为“一定要做某事”，to后接动词原形。故填pick；up。 7．别太生他的气。他是出于无知才犯了这个错误。 Don’t ________ too ________ ________ him. He made the mistake out of ignorance. 【答案】 be cross with 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，此处缺“对……生气”，be cross with sb.“对某人生气”，符合题意，放于否定祈使句Don’t之后用其动词原形be。故填be；cross；with。 8．过去几年中，人类在太空探索方面取得了很大的进展，世人为此感到骄傲。 In the past few years, people have made such great progress in space exploration that the whole world ________ ________ ________ it. 【答案】 is proud of 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，be proud of表示“为……感到骄傲”，固定短语。从句描述的是现在的事情，应用一般现在时，主语是the whole world，be动词用is。故填is；proud；of。 9．我们保证查明真相。 We ________ ________ find out the truth. 【答案】 promise to 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，promise to do sth表示“保证做某事”，动词短语。根据语境可知，本句是一般现在时，主语是we，动词用原形。故填promise；to。 10．她把一条漂亮的丝带系在礼物盒上，让它看起来更特别。 She ________ a beautiful ribbon ________ the gift box to make it look more special. 【答案】 attaches/attached to 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，此处缺“系在……上”，英文表达为attach sth to...，根据语境可知是一般现在时或一般过去时，主语是she，谓语动词用三单形式attaches或过去式attached。故填attaches/attached；to。 11．看到乌云密布，他们决定立刻动身回家。 When they saw the dark clouds gathering, they decided to ________ ________ home immediately. 【答案】 head/go back 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，head/go back home“动身回家”，是动词短语，decide to do sth意为“决定做某事”。故填head/go；back。 12．在我回家的路上，我遇见了我们的英语老师。 ________ ________ ________ ________ home, I met our English teacher. 【答案】 On my way back 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，此处缺少“在我回的路上”，某人回……的路上on one’s way back，one’s应为my，home前不加to，首字母大写。故填On；my；way；back。 五、完形填空 My family has strict rules, and the most important one is “Never be late for family events”.     Tonight, we had a big dinner to celebrate Grandpa’s birthday, and Mum made me 1 to get home by 6 p.m. After school, I started to 2 when I saw my classmate Leo sitting on the ground.

But when she became an eighth-grader, things started to change. “We often argue, sometimes because of unimportant things,” she said. Maybe Wang has got the “eighth-grade syndrome (综合征)”. Some experts think eighth-graders usually suffer a lot because of the changes in their body and mind. The lack (缺乏) of support is also a possible reason. Wang’s classmate Liu Shijia is an example. “The exams in Grade 8 are more difficult, but my parents still don’t support me,” she said sadly. As eighth-graders enter the rebellious phase (叛逆期), they want to be free and have their own ideas. The survey shows that eighth-graders may try to persuade (说服) their parents when they have different ideas. Wang feels this deeply. She thinks there is nothing wrong with playing with boys, but her parents don’t agree with her. They often argue about this. To deal with these problems, an expert from Jiangsu gives useful advice to eighth-graders. “First, calm down and pay more attention to your studies. Second, develop some interests and share them with your parents. Finally, learn about your changes and know yourself well. Then try to accept them,” she said. 1．Why do students have “eighth-grade syndrome”? _________________________________________________ 2．What may eighth-graders do when they have different ideas? _________________________________________________ 3．How many suggestions does the expert from Jiangsu give students to deal with these problems? _________________________________________________ 4．What is the first suggestion？ _________________________________________________ 5．Do you think you’re old enough to make decisions by yourself? Why? (At least 30 words) _________________________________________________ 【答案】1．Because of the changes in their body and mind, and the lack of support. 2．They may try to persuade their parents. 3．Three. 4．Calm down and pay more attention to their studies. 5．Yes, I think so. Because I have developed my own ideas and can think carefully before making decisions. I can also take responsibility for my choices, which helps me grow up. 【导语】本文主要讲述了八年级学生可能出现的“八年级综合征”现象，分析了其产生的原因，并给出了专家的应对建议。 1．文中第二段明确指出，“Some experts think eighth-graders usually suffer a lot because of the changes in their body and mind.
