When he had to go to the bathroom, he found he could not move. He was taken to the hospital. The doctor told him he should do some different kinds of activities.

Doctor Yang, a famous sleep doctor, advises people to do outdoor (室外的) exercise for at least 30 minutes a day in the day. Doctor Yang has been doing research about sports and sleep for years. He finds out that those who exercise in natural light for half an hour every day have better sleep. Doctor Yang himself gets up at 6:30 a.m. Then he usually takes a walk outside. Sometimes, he walks his two dogs in the park in the afternoon with his sunglasses (太阳镜) left at home. Many schools made it a rule (规则) that students should do outdoor exercise once or twice a day. In some schools, students even had outdoor running clubs. After some time, most students said they got a lot from outdoor exercise. Now they sleep better and study better in their lessons. Some students are now thinking about inviting their teachers to join them in their daily runs. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 1．According to Doctor Yang, when is it better to exercise, in the day or at night？ 2．What is Doctor Yang’s research about? 3．Where does Doctor Yang walk his two dogs in the afternoon? 4．How often should students do outdoor exercise in many schools? 5．What do you think of outdoor exercise according to this passage? Passage 3 （24-25八年级下·山东日照·期中）阅读下面的短文，回答短文后面的各个小题。 Do you often feel tired in class? Do you find it hard to focus on your homework? Maybe you aren’t getting enough sleep. Sleep is like food for the brain—it helps us stay healthy, think clearly, and even do better at school. Let’s learn why sleep matters and how to get more of it.How Much Sleep Do We Need? According to the National Sleep Foundation, teenagers (ages 13-18) need 8-10 hours of sleep each night. However, many students only get 6-7 hours, especially when they have exams or lots of homework. Lack of sleep can affect our memory, mood, and even our physical health. Studies show that sleep-deprived students are more likely to get sick and have trouble paying attention in class.What Happens When We Don’t Sleep Enough? When we sleep, our bodies and brains repair themselves. Without enough sleep: Our brain doesn’t work well: It’s harder to remember things or solve problems. We feel angry or sad more easily: Sleep helps regulate our emotions. Our immune system is weaker: We become more vulnerable to colds and flu. We may gain weight: Lack of sleep can change the hormones that control hunger, making us eat more.Why Is It Hard for Teens to Sleep? Many teenagers have trouble falling asleep early. This is partly because their body clocks naturally shift later during puberty, making them feel awake at night. Also, using phones, tablets, or computers before bed can make sleep worse. The blue light from screens tricks the brain into thinking it’s daytime, making it harder to fall asleep. Some students also stay up late studying or chatting with friends, which breaks their sleep routine.Tips for Better Sleep 1. Stick to a schedule: Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. 2. Turn off screens an hour before bed: Try reading a book or listening to calm music instead. 3. Create a good sleep environment: Keep your room dark, quiet, and cool (around 65°F/ 18°C). 4. Avoid heavy meals and caffeine at night: Don’t eat too much or drink soda/ coffee before bedtime. 5. Limit naps: Long naps during the day can make it harder to sleep at night. 1．How many hours of sleep do teenagers need each night according to the passage? 2．What are the two effects of sleep deprivation on students mentioned in the article? 3．Why does the blue light from screens make it hard to fall asleep? 4．What is one tip for creating a good sleep environment? 5．According to the passage, how does lack of sleep affect the hormones related to hunger? Passage 4 （24-25八年级下·吉林长春·期中）Billy Elliot is a movie about an 11-year-old boy who wants to be a ballet (芭蕾舞) dancer. Billy Elliot lives in the north of England. His mother is dead.

Billy’s ballet teacher Georgia wants him to learn ballet in London. When the teacher tells Billy’s father that, he says that Billy won’t dance any more. But then, one day, he sees Billy dancing.

A popular way to do so is through dazi socializing (社交). The word “dazi” comes from the Shanghai dialect (方言). People first used it to talk about card-playing friends. Now, it means the partners who join in some activities together. And a dazi is not like a close friend or a family member. People usually don’t have a long and strong relationship with their dazi. These years, more people are trying to look for a dazi to enjoy food, travel, or study. A study of 1,335 young people shows that 72.6 percent have one or more dazi. Nearly 69 percent believe that finding a dazi is a brave step in moving out of their comfort zone (舒适圈) to find a new lifestyle. Xiaomi is one of such people. Xiaomi, born in 1981, is an office worker in Shenzhen. She has looked for travel partners more than once. This March, Xiaomi went to Gansu Province and found a travel partner there. She also found another dazi during the trip. They all had great fun during the journey. “We later started a chat (聊天) group on WeChat (微信), and we shared good books and life experiences in it. At the same time, we shared our daily habits, too. Starting as travel partners, we have become friends. I think I’m lucky.” Xiaomi said. Finding a dazi is not always good, and it can be dangerous sometimes. Remember to be careful and pay attention to your personal safety when you look for a dazi. 1．Where does the word “dazi” come from? 2．Why do people want to look for a dazi these years? 3．What did Xiaomi and her travel partners share in the chat group? 4．Do you want to find a dazi in your daily life? Why? Write 30 words or more. Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·河北石家庄·期中）How to Be a Good Friend Do you want to be a good friend? Here are some important qualities that can help you build strong friendships.

But what if you had to stay with one on a boat on the open sea for over 200 days? Life of Pi (《少年派的奇幻漂流》), the movie from American-Chinese director (导演), Li An, tells an amazing story. Pi is a boy. He lives happily with his family in a beautiful Indian town. His father has a zoo, so Pi knows a lot about animals. But one day, his father decides to move to Canada. He will sell all his animals there. The family begins to sail on the Pacific with all the zoo animals. But a big storm (暴风雨) hits their ship at night. Finally, Pi finds the only survivors (幸存者) are himself and a large tiger called Parker on an 8­-metre boat. To keep himself alive, Pi has to keep feeding the tiger so that he does not get eaten. He tries to get on well with the tiger during a 227­-day sail on the sea. The movie is from a Canadian writer Yann Martel’s book of the same name. The book has sold 7 million copies worldwide.

People with social phobia always feel unhappy and not comfortable when talking with others. The development of the Internet makes the MBTI test very popular. Many people take this test to see what they are like. According to the test, there are mainly two kinds of people—the extroverted (外向的) and the introverted (内向的). Extroverted people enjoy making friends with others, while those who are introverted like to be alone. However, many people cannot find the differences between being introverted and social phobia. In fact, it’s difficult for introverted people to become extroverted. Introverted people are not afraid of talking with others. They just like to stay alone to think more carefully. In this way, they can solve problems better. But social phobia is very different. It is hard to change because it is a kind of mental (精神的) illness and needs a special treatment (治疗). Even those who are extroverted can have social phobia. Some people say they have social phobia in order to get their own space sometimes. But we should treat (对待) social phobia properly. Sometimes social phobia is not good for our development. Just imagine that if a student refuses to answer teachers’ questions because of social phobia, he will not improve his grades and learn some useful things in the long term. 1．How do people with social phobia feel when talking with others? 2．How do introverted people solve problems according to Paragraph 3? 3．Why can’t social phobia be easily changed? 4．Why do some people say they have social phobia sometimes? 5．What does the passage mainly talk about?

If you know his age, you will be surprised. Sun, born in 1950, began to cycle in 2014 after he retired (退休). He did it just to realize his dream. When he was young, he always hoped to cycle around China and even abroad. But because of his poor family, he didn’t get his own bike until 1975. Since then, he had ridden to work for many years. “I’m getting older and I don’t want to regret (后悔) in the future. So I want to enjoy cycling now,” Sun said. At first, he just cycled in the countryside, and then he travelled to other cities. In April, 2017, he started his first long journey. After cycling more than 5,000 kilometers in nearly 100 days, he finally reached Xizang. In that year, he finished three long journeys by bike. Of course, Sun has met lots of troubles on his way, but he thinks it is still a very fantastic thing.

For example, a person may smile when he or she is happy with a grade on a test. Or a person might smile if a friend told a funny joke. People smile for many different reasons. But smiles are more than just a way for people to show that they are happy. There are other good reasons to smile often. First, it is easier to smile than to show unhappiness. In fact, it only takes 17 muscles (肌肉) to smile. On the other hand, it takes 43 muscles to show unhappiness. So give the muscles in your face a rest and smile! Second, smiles are nice. People may try to look nice on the outside by exercising or wearing nice clothes. However, there is a famous saying: a smile is the best thing a person can wear. That is because it is easy to make friends with someone who is smiling and happy. Almost no one wants to be around someone who is unhappy all the time. Third, smiles are helpful. Both smiling and laughing can quickly spread from one person to another. If one person smiles, people around him or her want to smile, too. Similarly, when a person laughs, people tend to laugh with them. If a person is sad, the best thing to do is to share a smile or laugh. It is the easiest and cheapest way to cheer someone up. Finally, smiling and laughing are very good for the body. Even if you are mad, try smiling. You’ll find that it will be hard to stay mad or sad for very long. 1．How many reasons to smile are mentioned (提到) in the passage? 2．Does it take more muscles to smile than to show unhappiness? 3．According to paragraph 3, what do you think of smiles? 4．Imagine your friend failed an exam and was very sad. According to the passage, what is the simplest thing you can do to help? 5．What’s the best title of this passage? 主题02 人与社会——文化 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·山东淄博·期中）阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各题。 What does taking the train mean to you? Perhaps it’s just a way of getting to your destination (目的地). In fact, the train itself can be part of the fun. On March 28th, China’s first panda-themed tourist train left Chengdu in Sichuan for Zunyi in Guizhou. It soon became the talk of China with its special design and comfortable service. Its inside and outside are decorated with giant panda pictures. Attendants (乘务员) carry panda toys and passengers can try panda-shaped food and Sichuan snacks. Some people call it a mobile star hotel because it has a bar, karaoke room, dance hall, and mahjong (麻将) room. This luxury (高档的) service is one aspect that has attracted travelers. But train travel interests people for other reasons. In the fast-paced times we live in, train travel is a good way to slow down. It gives you time and space to read, sleep, chat with friends, or simply do nothing but watch the changing scenery outside. One surprising thing is that you might meet new people. Sheng Yawei, 26, once took the longest railway in the world-the Trans-Siberian Railway. Sheng met a Russian student and they became friends. “I also met a cute boy who gave me melon seeds (瓜子). Though we didn’t understand each other’s language, it made me feel nice.” 1．When did China’s first panda-themed tourist train leave Chengdu for Zunyi? 2．Why did the panda-themed tourist train become the talk of China? 3．What food does this train provide for passengers? 4．What is a surprising thing about the train travel? 5．Do you want to take the panda-themed tourist train? Why or why not? Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·山东淄博·期中）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答下面问题。 Citywalk is a new travel fashion for young people who are exploring (探索) cultural sights. Unlike traditional travel, it avoids famous tourist sights and large crowds to get a better experience. Many young people now enjoy getting together to have a Citywalk in a new city. They follow a typical city route (路线), exploring old buildings, going window-shopping, drinking a cup of coffee, or enjoying local snacks. In order to show their Citywalk, more and more people like sharing their experiences and thoughts through social media (媒体). Xiao Yiyi, a young guide in Changsha, recently shared six Citywalk routes of different cities on the Internet, providing experiences for visitors to have a Citywalk. Her Changsha travel route includes more unusual sights such as historical (历史的) buildings, old streets, and even some snack bars. Citywalk is spreading (传播) from the largest cities to smaller ones, encouraging more travelers and event organizers to join. Some places, such as Beijing and Shandong, have included Citywalk in their plans to develop cultural tourism and relaxing tours. Shanghai has set up Citywalk bus routes to help day-trippers (一日游) reach far areas first, and then continue on foot. Citywalk not only provides a way for young people to explore a city but also provides them with a new social situation, where they can share their interests and ideas and make friends easily. What’s more, Citywalk provides chances for tour guides and travel companies to offer a more professional (专业的) service to meet the ever-changing market. 1．What is Citywalk? 2．How is Citywalk different from traditional travel? 3．Why did Xiao Yiyi share some Citywalk routes online? 4．Why has Shandong included Citywalk in its plans? 5．What do you think of Citywalk?

With the development of the technology, scientists believe that space travel might become a part of our lives sooner than we think. Right now, only astronauts and a few very rich people can go to space. But companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin are working hard to make space travel cheaper and safer. Some experts predict that by 2050, common people might visit the Moon, Mars, or even stay in space hotels! What could future space travel look like? Space Hotels: Imagine floating in zero gravity (引力) while watching Earth from a window! Orbital hotels could offer special experiences like spacewalks or growing plants in space. Moon Bases: Scientists plan to build research stations on the Moon. These bases might become stepping stones (垫脚石) for deeper space exploration. Mars Colonies: Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX, dreams of building a city on Mars. But living there need to solve challenges like radiation (辐射), extreme cold, and lack of air. Is it good for everyone? While space travel sounds exciting, there are some different ideas. Some people worry about: -Environmental problem: Rocket launches produce pollution. -Cost: Will only the rich enjoy space vacations? -Safety: Space is full of dangers like radiation and debris (碎片). What do YOU think? Will space travel become as common as airplane trips? Or should we focus more on solving Earth’s problems first? 1．According to some experts, what might common people be able to do by 2050? 2．How many kinds of future space travel are mentioned in the passage? 3．What is the advantage of the Moon Bases for humans? 4．What are the problems about future space travel according to the passage? 5．Do you think space travel will be helpful for us?

But many of us don’t know which is better, to exercise in the day or at night.

Passage 3 （24-25八年级下·山东日照·期中）阅读下面的短文，回答短文后面的各个小题。 Do you often feel tired in class? Do you find it hard to focus on your homework? Maybe you aren’t getting enough sleep. Sleep is like food for the brain—it helps us stay healthy, think clearly, and even do better at school. Let’s learn why sleep matters and how to get more of it.How Much Sleep Do We Need? According to the National Sleep Foundation, teenagers (ages 13-18) need 8-10 hours of sleep each night. However, many students only get 6-7 hours, especially when they have exams or lots of homework. Lack of sleep can affect our memory, mood, and even our physical health. Studies show that sleep-deprived students are more likely to get sick and have trouble paying attention in class.What Happens When We Don’t Sleep Enough? When we sleep, our bodies and brains repair themselves. Without enough sleep: Our brain doesn’t work well: It’s harder to remember things or solve problems. We feel angry or sad more easily: Sleep helps regulate our emotions. Our immune system is weaker: We become more vulnerable to colds and flu. We may gain weight: Lack of sleep can change the hormones that control hunger, making us eat more.Why Is It Hard for Teens to Sleep? Many teenagers have trouble falling asleep early. This is partly because their body clocks naturally shift later during puberty, making them feel awake at night. Also, using phones, tablets, or computers before bed can make sleep worse. The blue light from screens tricks the brain into thinking it’s daytime, making it harder to fall asleep. Some students also stay up late studying or chatting with friends, which breaks their sleep routine.Tips for Better Sleep 1. Stick to a schedule: Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. 2. Turn off screens an hour before bed: Try reading a book or listening to calm music instead. 3. Create a good sleep environment: Keep your room dark, quiet, and cool (around 65°F/ 18°C). 4. Avoid heavy meals and caffeine at night: Don’t eat too much or drink soda/ coffee before bedtime. 5. Limit naps: Long naps during the day can make it harder to sleep at night. 1．How many hours of sleep do teenagers need each night according to the passage? 2．What are the two effects of sleep deprivation on students mentioned in the article? 3．Why does the blue light from screens make it hard to fall asleep? 4．What is one tip for creating a good sleep environment? 5．According to the passage, how does lack of sleep affect the hormones related to hunger? 【答案】1．8 to10 hours./Eight to ten hours. 2．Sleep-deprived students are more likely to get sick and have trouble paying attention in class. 3．Because it tricks the brain into thinking it’s daytime, making it harder to fall asleep. 4．Keep the room dark, quiet, and cool (18°C). 5．It changes the hormones that control hunger, making us eat more. 【导语】本文主要讲述了睡眠的重要性、睡眠不足的影响以及如何改善睡眠质量。 1．根据“According to the National Sleep Foundation, teenagers (ages 13-18) need 8-10 hours of sleep each night.”可知，青少年每晚需要8-10小时的睡眠。故填8 to10 hours./Eight to ten hours. 2．根据“Studies show that sleep-deprived students are more likely to get sick and have trouble paying attention in class.”可知，睡眠不足的学生更容易生病，在课堂上也很难集中注意力。故填Sleep-deprived students are more likely to get sick and have trouble paying attention in class. 3．根据“The blue light from screens tricks the brain into thinking it’s daytime, making it harder to fall asleep.”可知，屏幕的蓝光会让大脑误以为是白天。故填Because it tricks the brain into thinking it’s daytime, making it harder to fall asleep. 4．根据“Keep your room dark, quiet, and cool (around 65°F/ 18°C).”可知，改善睡眠环境的建议之一是保持房间黑暗、安静和凉爽。故填Keep the room dark, quiet, and cool (18°C). 5．根据“Lack of sleep can change the hormones that control hunger, making us eat more.”可知，睡眠不足会改变控制饥饿的激素，导致吃得更多。故填It changes the hormones that control hunger, making us eat more.

For example, a person may smile when he or she is happy with a grade on a test. Or a person might smile if a friend told a funny joke. People smile for many different reasons. But smiles are more than just a way for people to show that they are happy. There are other good reasons to smile often. First, it is easier to smile than to show unhappiness. In fact, it only takes 17 muscles (肌肉) to smile. On the other hand, it takes 43 muscles to show unhappiness. So give the muscles in your face a rest and smile! Second, smiles are nice. People may try to look nice on the outside by exercising or wearing nice clothes. However, there is a famous saying: a smile is the best thing a person can wear. That is because it is easy to make friends with someone who is smiling and happy. Almost no one wants to be around someone who is unhappy all the time. Third, smiles are helpful. Both smiling and laughing can quickly spread from one person to another. If one person smiles, people around him or her want to smile, too. Similarly, when a person laughs, people tend to laugh with them. If a person is sad, the best thing to do is to share a smile or laugh. It is the easiest and cheapest way to cheer someone up. Finally, smiling and laughing are very good for the body. Even if you are mad, try smiling. You’ll find that it will be hard to stay mad or sad for very long. 1．How many reasons to smile are mentioned (提到) in the passage? 2．Does it take more muscles to smile than to show unhappiness? 3．According to paragraph 3, what do you think of smiles? 4．Imagine your friend failed an exam and was very sad. According to the passage, what is the simplest thing you can do to help? 5．What’s the best title of this passage? 【答案】1．Four. 2．No, it doesn’t. 3．Smiles are nice. 4．Sharing a smile or laugh. 5．The Reasons to Smile Often 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了微笑的多种好处。 1．根据“First, it is easier to smile than to show unhappiness.”，“Second, smiles are nice.”，“Third, smiles are helpful.”和“Finally, smiling and laughing are very good for the body.”可知，文中提到了四个微笑的理由。故填Four. 2．根据文章第二段“it only takes 17 muscles to smile. On the other hand, it takes 43 muscles to show unhappiness”可知，微笑比表现不快乐需要更少的肌肉。故填No, it doesn’t. 3．根据文章第三段“Second, smiles are nice.”可知，该段大意是：微笑是好的。故填Smiles are nice. 4．根据文章第四段“If a person is sad, the best thing to do is to share a smile or laugh”可知，当朋友难过时，最简单的事情就是分享微笑或笑声。故填Sharing a smile or laugh. 5．根据文章内容，全文主要讲述了微笑的多种好处，结合第一段“There are other good reasons to smile often.”可知最佳标题是“经常微笑的好处”。故填The Reasons to Smile Often。 主题02 人与社会——文化 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·山东淄博·期中）阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各题。 What does taking the train mean to you? Perhaps it’s just a way of getting to your destination (目的地). In fact, the train itself can be part of the fun. On March 28th, China’s first panda-themed tourist train left Chengdu in Sichuan for Zunyi in Guizhou. It soon became the talk of China with its special design and comfortable service. Its inside and outside are decorated with giant panda pictures. Attendants (乘务员) carry panda toys and passengers can try panda-shaped food and Sichuan snacks.
