In an interview (采访), Fu suggested that the government learn about the present state of traditional skills. Fu thought the government should give money to handicraft makers in rural areas (农村地区) so that they can pass on their skills.

We all know pigs spend a lot of time eating. As a result, many pigs are fat. In English, we use the idiom (习语) “eat like a pig” to describe people who eat a lot. But it can be rude to use this idiom. Another interesting idiom to learn is “lipstick (口红) on a pig”. While you think this expression describes a beautiful thing, the opposite (相反的) is true. We use this idiom to say that no matter how well we decorate an unbeautiful product, it is still not beautiful. Even the most expensive lipstick cannot fix it! “Pigs might fly” is an idiom widely used in daily life.  It’s used to show that you do not believe something will ever happen. For example, Rick has been smoking for twenty years. Once he said he would give it up. His friends all laughed and said, “Yes, and pigs might fly.” The last idiom we are going to learn is “guinea pig” (豚鼠). The guinea pig is actually not a pig. It is a rat (老鼠) that has short legs and no tail. Many children keep the animal as a pet. But if we say someone is used as a guinea pig, it means new ideas, methods or medical treatments are tested on them. 31．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Pig Idioms. B．Year of the Pig.

Even the most expensive lipstick cannot fix it!”可知，我们用这个成语来表示不管我们把一个不漂亮的产品装饰得多么漂亮，它仍然不漂亮。“decorate”指“装饰”。故选D。 主题02 人与自然 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·咸阳市礼泉县·期中） There are only two seasons in some countries—the dry season and the rainy season.

When you’re growing up, your body changes a lot. You might worry about your voice changing or getting spots (斑点) on your face. When you feel worried, you might get angry at your parents sometimes. It’s also hard to balance (平衡) your feelings as you grow up. You get to a strange time called middle ground—no longer a small child but not quite an adult (成人). You want to do things by yourself more, but you still need your parents’ love and help. You want to make decisions by yourself, but your parents might not always agree. This can make you feel sad. But don’t worry too much about arguments with your parents. The most important thing is to talk to them. Tell them how you feel, even if it’s hard. If you keep talking and listening to each other, you can find a way to make things better. Remember, your parents love you and want to help you. Sometimes they forget how hard it is to grow up. But if you keep talking to them and trying to understand each other, you can work things out.

Like people, animals need to rest after working hard. Some animals sleep in water. Others dig holes under the ground. Some even sleep high in trees or under leaves. But they all find a way to rest. Some animals in the sea sleep in strange ways. Fish sleep with their eyes open. They seem to look ahead far into the sea while they rest. Sea otters (海獭) sometimes sleep in beds of the plants that grow in the sea. This keeps them from moving away. Parrotfish blow a bubble (气泡) around themselves before sleeping. The bubble protects them from harm while they sleep. Some animals prefer sleeping underground. Chipmunks curl into (蜷缩成) a ball in their soft leaf beds. In winter, they wake up every two weeks to eat, then sleep again. Desert frogs dig holes and stay there for months during hot, dry weather. High above the ground, monkeys sleep in trees each evening.

The study shows that today’s teenagers are growing up more slowly than those before. Scientists from San Diego State University have worked on a study on the behaviors of eight million teenagers in seven different countries over the past 40 years. The results tell us that today’s teenagers are less responsible. And it takes them more time to do the same things than their parents did. “This is a ‘slow life way’,” said Professor Jean Twenge. “The growth of today’s teenagers has slowed down. 18-year-olds are more like 15-year-olds in the past,” added Professor Twenge. “Teenagers today are taking fewer risks than those in the past did.” Scientists have also found that more teenagers spend longer time living with their parents. One of the main reasons for these behaviors is that today’s teenagers would like to spend much time online. They keep on connecting with social media, watching videos or playing games on the Internet. As a result, they don’t live in the real world. Another one is that parents do much for their children and protect them too much. In fact, parents had better try their best to make their children become independent as soon as possible. 1．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The study is about 8 million teenagers from America. B．The study began in 1960. C．Today’s teenagers don’t like slow life. D．Teenagers in the past took more risks. 2．Why do today’s teenagers grow up slowly? ①Because they don’t like living in the real world.    ②Because it’s difficult for them to do well at school. ③Because their parents do too many things for them.    ④Because they spend too much time online. A．①③ B．①② C．②④ D．③④ 3．Which of the following shows the right structure (结构) of the passage? A． B． C． D． 4．What would be the best title for the passage? A．How to Be an Independent Teenager B．A Study on Teenagers in the Future C．The Slow Growth of Today’s Teenagers D．Different Ideas about Today’s Teenagers 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国圣地亚哥州立大学针对7个国家、800万青少年的行为研究，核心结论为当代13—19岁青少年的成长速度比过去慢——具体表现为责任感更低、完成事务耗时更长、风险行为减少、与父母同住时间延长；并分析了两大主要原因：青少年过度沉迷网络、父母过度包办与保护，同时建议父母应尽早培养孩子的独立性。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段“Teenagers today are taking fewer risks than those in the past did.”可知，当代青少年比过去的青少年进行了更少的冒险行为，反向推导即“过去的青少年进行了更多的冒险行为。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据最后一段“One of the main reasons for these behaviors is that today’s teenagers would like to spend much time online.”和“Another one is that parents do much for their children and protect them too much.”可知，青少年成长慢的“两大主要原因”：当代青少年花太多时间上网(④)；父母为孩子做太多、保护过度 (③)。故选D。 3．篇章结构题。综合全文可知，第一段 (P1)：提出主旨——新研究表明当代青少年成长更慢；第二 (P2)、三段 (P3)：详细介绍研究的具体发现 (研究对象、结果、科学家的评论和结论)；第四段 (P4)：分析导致这种现象的两个主要原因。因此，文章的结构是：提出主题 (P1) ——阐述研究发现 (P2和P3)——分析原因 (P4)。故选C。 4．最佳标题题。综合全文可知，本文介绍了一项历时40年的研究，表明与过去的青少年相比，当代青少年的行为成熟速度更慢，表现得更加不独立、不愿承担风险；这种现象的主要原因是他们花费过多时间在网络世界，以及父母过度的保护和包办；选项C“当代青少年的缓慢成长”概括了全文的核心内容：青少年成长变慢的现象、表现及原因，适合作为文章的标题。故选C。 Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·榆林市第七中学·期中） Do you often feel angry? Anger may make us feel uncomfortable, but it’s also normal. Unluckily, many of us are used to hiding our feelings. A study shows that this can make a big difference to our health. Is it better to cry or break things whenever something makes us angry? The study points out that when we show our anger in this way, we probably can’t get on well with our friends or our family. So what can we do to deal with (应对) our angry feelings in a right way? First, know what makes you angry. We may feel angry because of feelings of fear, stress, disappointment and so on. Also, pay closer attention (注意) to those everyday things that will make us angry. We may get angry in the long lines at the restaurant. Take a step back and think that it isn’t personal. Everyone in the line has their meal to wait for, just like us. One way of dealing with anger is to talk about it. The study shows that if we talk about our feelings, we can actually calm ourselves down and feel better. Do some controlled breathing or find some physical activities. Exercise helps with feelings of anger. If we know what to do with anger, we will be happier and healthier. 5．The writer begins the passage by ________.

We all know pigs spend a lot of time eating. As a result, many pigs are fat. In English, we use the idiom (习语) “eat like a pig” to describe people who eat a lot. But it can be rude to use this idiom. Another interesting idiom to learn is “lipstick (口红) on a pig”. While you think this expression describes a beautiful thing, the opposite (相反的) is true. We use this idiom to say that no matter how well we decorate an unbeautiful product, it is still not beautiful. Even the most expensive lipstick cannot fix it! “Pigs might fly” is an idiom widely used in daily life.  It’s used to show that you do not believe something will ever happen. For example, Rick has been smoking for twenty years. Once he said he would give it up. His friends all laughed and said, “Yes, and pigs might fly.” The last idiom we are going to learn is “guinea pig” (豚鼠). The guinea pig is actually not a pig. It is a rat (老鼠) that has short legs and no tail. Many children keep the animal as a pet. But if we say someone is used as a guinea pig, it means new ideas, methods or medical treatments are tested on them. 31．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Pig Idioms. B．Year of the Pig. C．Different Pigs. D．Habits of the Pig. 32．It’s ______ to use the idiom “eat like a pig” to describe people who eat a lot.

A．描述 B．比较 C．穿上 D．装饰 主题02 人与自然 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·咸阳市礼泉县·期中） There are only two seasons in some countries—the dry season and the rainy season. They are India, Vietnam and some countries in Africa. It’s never cold in these places and it doesn’t snow. When it is the dry season, it doesn’t rain at all. It’s very, very hot. All grass and leaves on the trees are yellow. Animals and people are very thirsty (渴的). It is a very difficult time for them! When it is the rainy season, the rain doesn’t stop. It rains day and night. There is a lot of water around! Some animals like it but some don’t. There is a place where seasons are extreme (极端的) and unlike anywhere else. It is the Antarctic. Its summer and winter are defined (定义) by endless daylight or darkness. It is very cold all year round. There are no countries and no cities there. There are some villages in the Antarctic. Who lives there? Some scientists from different countries go there to learn about the coldest place and its animals. But there are no trees, flowers or fruit there, so people can’t live there long. 4．What’s the weather like in India? A．It’s very cold all year round. B．It’s never cold and it doesn’t snow.

Snow leopards (雪豹) live in the cold mountains of Central Asia. They’re from the cat family. A snow leopard is smaller than a lion or a tiger, but it’s still a very large cat. An adult snow leopard is often more than two meters long. They like to live and look for food alone. Now some people kill snow leopards to get their beautiful fur (毛皮). Tigers also come from the cat family. They feed on small animals such as deer (鹿) and sheep. Tigers are in danger now because some people cut down the forests and catch them. People kill tigers also for their beautiful fur. In 1939, there were about 30,000 tigers in India. But today there are only 3,000. Elephants live in big forests. An Asian elephant’s ears are much smaller than an African elephant’s. Elephants need lots of places to live in and to find food. There are only less than 3,000 Ceylon elephants (a kind of Asian elephant) in the world now. European otters (水獭) live in the rivers around Europe. They have soft and brown fur on their bodies. Usually a European otter is about 75 cm long. It has small and round ears. Today some people kill the animals for their fur. However, there is still hope. Protecting these animals is not impossible if we take action from now on. 28．How did the writer begin the text? A．By asking a question. B．By telling a story. C．By giving a number.

Do you and your parents often disagree on things? You’re not alone. Many kids and their parents have such experiences. When you’re growing up, your body changes a lot. You might worry about your voice changing or getting spots (斑点) on your face. When you feel worried, you might get angry at your parents sometimes. It’s also hard to balance (平衡) your feelings as you grow up. You get to a strange time called middle ground—no longer a small child but not quite an adult (成人). You want to do things by yourself more, but you still need your parents’ love and help. You want to make decisions by yourself, but your parents might not always agree. This can make you feel sad. But don’t worry too much about arguments with your parents. The most important thing is to talk to them. Tell them how you feel, even if it’s hard. If you keep talking and listening to each other, you can find a way to make things better. Remember, your parents love you and want to help you. Sometimes they forget how hard it is to grow up. But if you keep talking to them and trying to understand each other, you can work things out.

And you’ll feel good about doing something that helps people or improves the places around you. This past summer, my friends and I noticed how littered our neighborhood park was. We wanted it to be different. We worked without parents and teachers to clean up the park. We had fun making the park much better than before, and now people in the whole neighborhood are able to share and enjoy it again. Maybe cleaning up a park isn’t your choice. No problem. You can turn anything that matters to you into a volunteer project. Do you like playing chess, reading, or spending time with your pet? You can volunteer to do what you love to do. For example, you could help at an old people’s home, simply by talking or playing games with them to make their days better. If you’re good at math or English, you could volunteer to be a homework helper at your school. You’re always needed to walk dogs or play with cats. Or you can collect (收集) things for homeless people, such as soap and toothbrushes. You see there is something for everyone. Whatever you do as a volunteer, your time will be enjoyed.

He says Dahongpao tea is a good friend. He spends lots of his time dealing with it and tring to better understand it. He is the most famous tea expert (专家) in Wuyishan city. The local farmers all respect him very much. Many other tea experts will have their own companies when they are famous. But Ye spends most of his time studying techniques (技艺) and passing on his knowledge to students. Ye hopes more and more people can learn about traditional Dahongpao tea skills. But the number of such people is still too small. It’s his biggest concern (忧虑). As the masters grow older, Ye is worried that these skills may be lost. “Wuyishan has more than 1,800 tea producers. However, as machine is used to make tea, the workers just press buttons. They never learn the traditional skills. The situation is very worrying,” he said. Ye hopes that the only way to solve the problem is that the local government build a school to let the masters teach more students. 21．According to the passage, tea cannot be ________ to Ye Qitong.

Elephants are my favourite animals because they are strong and clever. They are a symbol of good luck in our country. They are our national animals, and we celebrate Thai Elephant Day on March 13th every year. Elephants are different from other animals. They are huge in size. With their long trunks (象鼻), they are able to carry heavy things. They also have big ears. Elephants are similar to us in some ways. They are playful and love playing in the water. They have a good memory. For example, they can remember places with food and water after many years. They are also very kind. When an elephant is ill, other elephants will help it. And the older elephants often look after the younger ones. Elephants play an important part in Thai culture and life. Sadly, they are in danger now. People cut down many trees and destroy their natural homes — forests. Some people even kill them for their ivory (象牙). We must do something to save the elephants.

Like people, animals need to rest after working hard. Some animals sleep in water. Others dig holes under the ground. Some even sleep high in trees or under leaves. But they all find a way to rest. Some animals in the sea sleep in strange ways. Fish sleep with their eyes open. They seem to look ahead far into the sea while they rest. Sea otters (海獭) sometimes sleep in beds of the plants that grow in the sea. This keeps them from moving away. Parrotfish blow a bubble (气泡) around themselves before sleeping. The bubble protects them from harm while they sleep. Some animals prefer sleeping underground. Chipmunks curl into (蜷缩成) a ball in their soft leaf beds. In winter, they wake up every two weeks to eat, then sleep again. Desert frogs dig holes and stay there for months during hot, dry weather. High above the ground, monkeys sleep in trees each evening. The leaves of tall trees help to keep them safe during the night. Some insects even sleep under the leaf that will be their next meal. A bee may climb down into a flower to rest.

The study shows that today’s teenagers are growing up more slowly than those before. Scientists from San Diego State University have worked on a study on the behaviors of eight million teenagers in seven different countries over the past 40 years. The results tell us that today’s teenagers are less responsible. And it takes them more time to do the same things than their parents did. “This is a ‘slow life way’,” said Professor Jean Twenge. “The growth of today’s teenagers has slowed down. 18-year-olds are more like 15-year-olds in the past,” added Professor Twenge. “Teenagers today are taking fewer risks than those in the past did.” Scientists have also found that more teenagers spend longer time living with their parents. One of the main reasons for these behaviors is that today’s teenagers would like to spend much time online. They keep on connecting with social media, watching videos or playing games on the Internet. As a result, they don’t live in the real world. Another one is that parents do much for their children and protect them too much. In fact, parents had better try their best to make their children become independent as soon as possible. 1．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The study is about 8 million teenagers from America. B．The study began in 1960. C．Today’s teenagers don’t like slow life. D．Teenagers in the past took more risks. 2．Why do today’s teenagers grow up slowly? ①Because they don’t like living in the real world.    ②Because it’s difficult for them to do well at school. ③Because their parents do too many things for them.    ④Because they spend too much time online. A．①③ B．①② C．②④ D．③④ 3．Which of the following shows the right structure (结构) of the passage? A． B． C． D． 4．What would be the best title for the passage?

Anger may make us feel uncomfortable, but it’s also normal. Unluckily, many of us are used to hiding our feelings. A study shows that this can make a big difference to our health. Is it better to cry or break things whenever something makes us angry? The study points out that when we show our anger in this way, we probably can’t get on well with our friends or our family. So what can we do to deal with (应对) our angry feelings in a right way? First, know what makes you angry. We may feel angry because of feelings of fear, stress, disappointment and so on. Also, pay closer attention (注意) to those everyday things that will make us angry. We may get angry in the long lines at the restaurant. Take a step back and think that it isn’t personal. Everyone in the line has their meal to wait for, just like us. One way of dealing with anger is to talk about it. The study shows that if we talk about our feelings, we can actually calm ourselves down and feel better. Do some controlled breathing or find some physical activities. Exercise helps with feelings of anger. If we know what to do with anger, we will be happier and healthier. 5．The writer begins the passage by ________. A．telling a story B．listing some numbers C．giving some examples D．asking a question 6．Which can help deal with the feeling of anger according to the passage? ① Doing some exercise         ②Eating delicious food ③ Talking about the feelings         ④Doing some controlled breathing A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①③④ D．①②④ 7．The underlined word “disappointment” in Paragraph 3 means “________” in Chinese.

Sometimes your parents fight with each other, or you fight with your parents, or even you fight with your brother or sister. When it happens, you may feel sad or even angry.

It’s also important to tell an adult if your parent hurts you. You could have a family meeting to talk about it when the fight happens. At the meeting, everyone should tell how they feel and give their advice. Sometimes, you should visit a family doctor to talk about the problems and get advice.
