The courses there included running, climbing, swimming, and flying. All the animals were asked to take all the subjects. The duck was excellent in swimming. In fact, better than his teacher. But he made only passing grades in flying and was very poor in running. Since he was slow in running, he was asked to practice running after school. However, running practice made his webbed feet (蹼足) badly hurt and he only got C in swimming. The rabbit started at the top of the class in running, but as a result of failing in climbing training many times, she had a nervous breakdown (精神崩溃). The squirrel was excellent in climbing until he met much trouble in the flying class. He was good at flying from the treetop down, but his teacher made him start from the ground up. He practiced as the teacher said, but unluckily he developed a muscle spasm (肌肉痉挛) Finally, he got C in climbing and D in flying. Seeing everyone fail in the exam sadly, the groundhog (土拨鼠) family gathered to discuss. “Why does the school ask the duck to run and the rabbit to climb? They are not born to do that,” the mother groundhog complained (抱怨). “Yes, no matter how hard they try, they will never succeed,” the father groundhog said. “Mommy, must I learn how to fly? What’s wrong with flying from the treetop down? Am I allowed to dig a hole in my own way?” a baby groundhog asked in doubt. “Relax, dear. You don’t need to learn to fly. As long as you can dig a hole, it doesn’t matter which way you choose.” mother groundhog replied with a gentle smile.

The following stories show how three students learned from doing housework. Wang Mei’s Chore JourneyWang Mei is a 14-year-old girl from Jiangsu. She has been helping her parents with housework since she was 10. Every day after school, she sweeps the floor, washes the dishes, and sometimes cooks simple meals. At first, she didn’t like doing chores and thought it was boring. But over time, she became better at doing chores and took more responsibilities (责任) at home. Now she even teaches her classmates to do simple chores. Tom’s Weekend ChallengeTom is a 13-year-old student in London. Every weekend, he writes a short diary about the chores he does. Last Saturday, he helped his dad clean the car and watered the plants in the garden. On Sunday, he cooked a simple breakfast for his family. By doing chores, Tom has learned useful life skills.

One day, his mother got sick and had to rest in bed. Li Ming and his dad had to take care of everything. It was much harder than they had thought. They didn’t even know how to use the washing machine at first. But slowly, they learned how to do housework well. Now Li Ming often shares housework and helps the family.

His father was a shoemaker and his mother worked as a washerwoman. He received little early education. So what made him a great successful writer? In the childhood, Andersen wasn’t very happy. Because he wasn’t very strong, other children often made fun of him. He had few friends. Instead, he had fun making up stories by himself. He really has a talent for it. When Andersen was eleven, his father died so he had to go out to work. At the age of 14, Andersen moved to Copenhagen to start a career as a singer and actor. He had a hard time for three years until he had to leave the theatre when his voice broke in 1822. Because Andersen loved reading books so much that he went back to school at 17. He was sent to Copenhagen University in 1828 because of good grades. He began to publish (出版) his fairy tales in 1835. From then on, he worked so hard to write about one book a year for 37 years. Although Andersen lived a hard life, he tried to make people laugh in all his stories. That’s because he didn’t want children to have a sad childhood as he did. “Being born in a duck yard is not important, as long as you are hatched (孵化) from a swan’s (天鹅的) egg,” he once said. 9. Did Andersen get much early education? 10. Why did Andersen go out to work when he was eleven? 11. What makes Andersen successful as a writer? 12.

Lei Feng is probably one of the most famous Chinese soldiers (士兵). He helped many people during his 22 years of life. Even though he died over 60 years ago, the “Lei Feng spirit” still encourages Chinese people to do volunteer work. In 1963, Chairman Mao called on the nation to learn from Lei Feng, and March 5th of every year has been named as “Lei Feng Day”. During this month, a group of Malaysian (马来西亚的) students, studying at the Changsha Social Work College, volunteered to serve passengers at the Changsha Railway Station with their Chinese schoolmates. They carefully helped passengers get on the train safely and book tickets. They also provided waiting rooms for special passengers and solved problems for them. “I was so excited when I was called a ‘living Lei Feng’! That was the highest praise (赞扬) for me as a volunteer!” said Lan Zhicong, the Chinese name of an international student from Malaysia. He learnt about Lei Feng’s stories when he was in Malaysia. After coming to Changsha, Lei Feng’s hometown, he became a “living Lei Feng” and continued the “Lei Feng stories” with his actions. “Volunteering is about giving, but I’ve gotten a lot, too,” he said. This year, Changsha Social Work College held an activity called “Learn from Lei Feng in Lei Feng’s hometown”. Many volunteer teams of teachers and students did different volunteer jobs at stations, communities or schools to pass on the Lei Feng spirit. In Changsha, everyone can be a “living Lei Feng”. The students, like Lan Zhicong, truly enjoyed being volunteers. They realized helping others not only brings joy to people in need but also makes themselves happier. Let’s all carry forward the Lei Feng spirit and make the world a better place. 13. Is Lei Feng probably one of the most famous Chinese soldiers? 14. Why can everyone in Changsha be a “living Lei Feng”? 15. What did the Malaysian students volunteer to do at the railway station? 16. Would you like to be a “living Lei Feng”? Why or why not? 主题01 人与社会——科学技术 Passage 5 When people across China are preparing for the Spring Festival, a Chinese AI app is becoming popular around the world. The Chinese AI app DeepSeek became the most popular free app on the Apple App Store in the world. In January 2025, the Chinese AI company DeepSeek introduced (介绍) its new open-source model (开放源代码模型), DeepSeekR1. Because this model has made progress (取得进步) by using deep learning ways that let the AI develop reasoning skills (推理能力) by itself. It can work as well as the best models from big companies like OpenAI. It can answer math questions, write computer codes, and even explain difficult texts in easy ways. Ms. Li, an English teacher said, “Its 5 clear steps can solve problems, just like a patient teacher.” What surprises the world most is that the cost (费用) for users will be lower than that of other companies. The app quickly caught the world’s attention: Mar c Andreessen, a famous business expert in Silicon Valley, wrote online, “DeepSeekR1 is one of the most surprising and exciting developments I’ve ever seen.” From classrooms to offices, DeepSeek is changing how Chinese people use technology. It shows the growth of Chinese AI technology on the world stage. As AI keeps developing, this young company is writing a new story for China’s tech future. 17.

It has become a popular way to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. Take the family of my friend Zhou Jie as an example. Every weekend, Zhou Jie’s parents take him to different places around the city for hiking. Last Saturday, they went to Jiefangbei. They walked around the city and saw the tall buildings and busy streets. Zhou Jie was very excited to enjoy the beauty of the city in this way. They took many photos and had a great time. Another popular place is Nanshan Mountain. It’s not too far from the city center, but it feels like a different world. The mountain is covered with trees and has many walking trails (小径). People can choose different ways. Some trails are easy and suitable for families with young children, while others are more difficult for experienced hikers. On weekends, you can see many people walking, talking, and laughing on the trails. They stop to rest and enjoy the beautiful views of the city below. Even in the countryside, there are many places to explore (探索). For example, there are some small mountains and hills that are perfect for a short hike.

With over 37 million fans, his recent trip to China became very popular around the world. Millions of people watched his live streams (直播) when he visited China. During his stay, Speed went to eight cities, like Shanghai, Beijing, and Chongqing. This is an unforgettable journey for him. What most impressed (使印象深刻) Speed was China’s colorful culture. Speed did many cool things in China. In Henan, he went to the Shaolin Temple and learned kung fu. It was hard work, but he enjoyed it a lot. He would never forget wearing traditional Chinese clothes for the first time. He tried some local foods, like douzhi, tasted strange at first, but he was brave enough to give them a try. In big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, Speed experienced China’s high-speed trains. He found it unbelievable that the train could go so fast and smoothly. The mobile payment systems were also a big shock to him. Whether in a store or a supermarket, Chinese people always use their phones to pay. He soon learned to use apps like Alipay and found it super easy and convenient. Such modern technologies surprised him a lot. During Speed’s visit in China, a man from Rongchang, Chongqing, invited him to have a bite of “Rongchang braised goose” and gave him many gifts made in Rongchang. Feeling thankful, Speed asked him to visit America some day in return. “Rongchang Brother” isn’t the only one who has shown the friendly act. Two aunties gave him a “necklace” of chilies and a string of homemade pork sausages. Besides, one of his fans even dressed up like his favorite soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo to welcome him. Wherever he went, people always treated him nicely. Speed’s live streams showed everyone how lively and free China really is. By sharing his real experiences, he broke down the wrong ideas that some Western people had about China. As a foreigner said on his YouTube, “Now we can see the real China, not just what others tell us.” His videos taught everyone that it’s important to see things for yourself instead of believing everything you hear. After all, seeing is believing. 25. Did Speed’s trip to China become very popular all over the world? 26. How many cities in China did Speed visit this time? 27. According to this passage, what makes this journey unforgettable for Speed? 28. If your foreign friend wants to visit China, which city will you advise him or her to visit? And explain. 主题01 人与社会——短视频 Passage 8 “It is just too funny, hahaha...” and just like this, three hours have passed until you realize you have done nothing! Studies even show that more and more people watch short videos all day long. So why is it so hard to say no to short videos? Algorithmic recommendation (算法推荐) must be the answer. It is so smart that it can find our likes. The more we like something, the more it will feed us similar information. Now, you see why it’s so hard to refuse short videos. It’s time to work out why you will become stupid if you keep watching it. When you spend hours watching short videos, the algorithm keeps showing you things similar to what you’ve already liked. This situation is called “information cocoon” (信息茧房). After watching many videos, you may think you know a lot. But actually, you only see the same kind of things again and again—like staying in a small room all the time. Also, you may find it’s difficult to read and think. Since you are used to this easy and -fun way of going through those videos, you won’t want to do anything that takes time or effort. Another reason is that wrong decisions may be made when you act too quickly. For example, if you watch a video that says someone is bad, you might believe it and even write a comment (评论). But later, you find out the story in the video is made up, and you may feel sorry and even angry at yourself. See, you become less smart little by little without noticing it. Maybe it’s time to wake up—you need a better way to have fun! 29. Does algorithmic recommendation make it difficult for us to refuse short videos? 30. How may people feel when they find out the story in the video is made up? 31. Why do short videos make people stupid? 32. If you want to break the “information cocoon”, what will you do? (At least 20 words) 主题01 人与社会——文化 Passage 9 Xie Guoxing 14, China What do you usually do before exams? Are there any special exam traditions in your country? Ivana Nicole Moreno 17, US In the US, students have different habits before exams. Some wear “lucky” clothes, like special socks, to bring good luck. Others do simple things, like eating snacks they think are lucky. I have a special pencil that I always use for exams. I believe it helps me do better. These small habits help me feel calm (冷静的) and ready. Chulkyu Lee 18, South Korea In South Korea, we give our friends sticky rice (糯米) cakes and taffies (太妃糖) before exams. This is because the word “stick” sounds like “pass” in Korean. People believe that eating sticky food helps students “stick” to success and pass their tests. It is a way to show support (支持) and wish each other good luck. I remember when my best friend had a big test, I bought him sticky rice cakes to make him happy. This tradition makes us feel warm and relaxed during stressful exam time. Kevin Xu 19, UK In the UK, there are many fun traditions before exams. In some countryside areas of England, people may see “wishing trees” with coins hammered (钉入) into the bark (树皮). Students believe this will bring good luck from the “tree spirits”. At the University of Oxford, there is a custom (习俗) of touching the “Kissing Stone”, an old stone inside the chapel (教堂), to get good luck. Also, some students try not to eat chicken before exams. The reason is simple and funny: “You don’t want to be a chicken and get scared during the exam!” 33. Do students around the world have the same traditions before exams?   34. How do Chulkyu Lee and his friend feel after eating sticky rice cakes?   35. List 3 exam traditions in China. Each tradition should match (相似) one example from the US, South Korea, and the UK.   36. Which is more important before exams, hard work or these special traditions? And why?   主题01 人与社会——科学技术 Passage 10 Bao Xiaobo brought his daughter back to “life” 2024-02-29 (Bao and his daughter) Bao Xiaobo, a musician and also a tech boss, has recently surprised the world by saying he used AI to bring his late (已故的) daughter back. Bao’s daughter died of a blood disease a few years ago. Since then, Bao has stayed in the darkness and pain of losing her. He even avoided meeting his friends and relatives. To change this, starting from 2022, Bao Xiaobo began to work into AI technology, hoping to recreate his late daughter’s voice. In January, Bao uploaded a video of his late daughter who sang Happy Birthday to her mother and said how much she missed her. Bao told people that after thousands of trying and training, he successfully created a “digital (数字的) daughter” using AI, who has the same memories and mind as his daughter. “I want her to continue living in the beautiful digital world,” he explained why he used technology to bring back his daughter. With his digital daughter around, Bao felt less lonely and found hope again. He said he couldn’t succeed without the help of AI. And his deep love for his daughter also made it happen.   The story has touched many people online. Many worry that Bao might get lost in sad memories for even longer because he couldn’t let it go. But some worry about using this tech in the wrong way. They think it could cause problems with how we think about what it means to be human. Still, Bao’s work is a big step forward in tech, making us think more about how we use it and what’s right and wrong. 37. Did Bao’s daughter die from an accident? 38. Why did Bao want to bring his daughter back to life? 39. What helps to bring his daughter back to life? 40. If you were Bao, would you do the same thing? Why or why not? 主题01 人与自我——个人经历 Passage 11 On a Monday morning last month, “you are so lucky to go to a party!” said Jenny’s mum. “How come you’re not acting happier?” Yes, there would be a costume (服装) party at Jenny’s school. However, Jenny sighed (叹气), “It’s just that everyone in my class keeps talking about the amazing costumes they already have, but I still have no idea about mine.” It was not until the day before the party that Jenny came up with an idea — making a costume like a bird. She also chose a pretty mask (面具). To make the mask perfect, Jenny spent several days working on it. Unluckily, when Jenny was about to go to the party with her friend Mareya the next day, she couldn’t find her mask anywhere. The most important part of her costume was missing! Jenny felt terrible and didn’t want to attend the party. Looking at the colors on Jenny’s clothes, suddenly Mareya said, “give me a few minutes and you’ll be the most beautiful bird!” Jenny could do nothing but agree. Mareya finished painting on Jenny’ s face quickly. Then they went to the party together. The party ended up being fun, and nobody noticed Jenny’s missing mask. Jenny was very happy So, when something doesn’t go as planned, don’t worry too much. If things take a turn for the worse, do something to change them. If things haven’t gotten too bad, wait a moment and maybe you can enjoy yourself. After all, everything can turn out to be fun in its own way. 45. Why was Jenny unhappy? 46. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 3? 47. Did Jenny enjoy herself at the party? 48. Do you like everything to go according to plan? why or why not? 主题01 人与社会——教育 Passage 12 Get More Exercise To improve students’ physical health, Chongqing Education Commission (教委) has introduced new requirements (要求) for daily exercise in middle schools. According to the latest policy (政策), all schools must provide at least 60 minutes of outdoor activities every school day, such as morning runs, group sports, and free exercise time. As soon as the new policy comes out, all schools take action quickly. Some schools are planning inter-class tug-of-war games (拔河比赛), and others will build new cycling tracks. Now, quite a few schools in Chongqing are making creative exercise plans: For example, No.8 Middle School holds “fun basketball” competitions during breaks, while Yubei Experimental School organizes mountain hiking trips every Friday afternoon. It seems that most of the students are happy about the change of exercise at school. When the reporter interviewed a student from No.8 Middle School, he said, “________”, holding a basketball in his sweaty (流汗的) hand. Why did this policy appear? Recent surveys (调查) show that 65% of students spent less than 30 minutes exercising daily before this policy. Why? Because students spent too much time on their learning in the classroom. They kept studying indoors instead of going out for exercise. It took them a long time to learn the knowledge from their books every day. What’s more, they had a lot of homework to finish every day. Even after school they chose to do their homework in the classroom or at home. They didn’t have enough time to exercise. However, doctors say that enough exercise not only builds stronger bodies but also helps students remember things better and reduces stress. “When students run or play team sports, their brains (大脑) get more oxygen (氧气), which helps them study better,” says Dr. Wang from Children’s Hospital. As the new policy is carried out, middle school students can have more time to exercise and stay healthy. This will not only make them stronger but also help them study better. 49. Does the new policy ask schools to provide more exercise time for students? 50. What creative exercise plan can we find in No.8 Middle School? 51. Why did most students spend less time exercising before this new policy? 52. What may the student from No.8 Middle School say according to the passage?

Lei Feng is probably one of the most famous Chinese soldiers (士兵). He helped many people during his 22 years of life. Even though he died over 60 years ago, the “Lei Feng spirit” still encourages Chinese people to do volunteer work. In 1963, Chairman Mao called on the nation to learn from Lei Feng, and March 5th of every year has been named as “Lei Feng Day”. During this month, a group of Malaysian (马来西亚的) students, studying at the Changsha Social Work College, volunteered to serve passengers at the Changsha Railway Station with their Chinese schoolmates. They carefully helped passengers get on the train safely and book tickets. They also provided waiting rooms for special passengers and solved problems for them. “I was so excited when I was called a ‘living Lei Feng’! That was the highest praise (赞扬) for me as a volunteer!” said Lan Zhicong, the Chinese name of an international student from Malaysia. He learnt about Lei Feng’s stories when he was in Malaysia. After coming to Changsha, Lei Feng’s hometown, he became a “living Lei Feng” and continued the “Lei Feng stories” with his actions. “Volunteering is about giving, but I’ve gotten a lot, too,” he said. This year, Changsha Social Work College held an activity called “Learn from Lei Feng in Lei Feng’s hometown”. Many volunteer teams of teachers and students did different volunteer jobs at stations, communities or schools to pass on the Lei Feng spirit. In Changsha, everyone can be a “living Lei Feng”. The students, like Lan Zhicong, truly enjoyed being volunteers. They realized helping others not only brings joy to people in need but also makes themselves happier. Let’s all carry forward the Lei Feng spirit and make the world a better place. 13. Is Lei Feng probably one of the most famous Chinese soldiers? 14. Why can everyone in Changsha be a “living Lei Feng”? 15. What did the Malaysian students volunteer to do at the railway station? 16. Would you like to be a “living Lei Feng”? Why or why not? 【答案】13.

During Speed’s visit in China, a man from Rongchang, Chongqing, invited him to have a bite of “Rongchang braised goose” and gave him many gifts made in Rongchang. Feeling thankful, Speed asked him to visit America some day in return. “Rongchang Brother” isn’t the only one who has shown the friendly act.

Studies even show that more and more people watch short videos all day long. So why is it so hard to say no to short videos? Algorithmic recommendation (算法推荐) must be the answer. It is so smart that it can find our likes. The more we like something, the more it will feed us similar information. Now, you see why it’s so hard to refuse short videos. It’s time to work out why you will become stupid if you keep watching it. When you spend hours watching short videos, the algorithm keeps showing you things similar to what you’ve already liked. This situation is called “information cocoon” (信息茧房). After watching many videos, you may think you know a lot. But actually, you only see the same kind of things again and again—like staying in a small room all the time. Also, you may find it’s difficult to read and think. Since you are used to this easy and -fun way of going through those videos, you won’t want to do anything that takes time or effort. Another reason is that wrong decisions may be made when you act too quickly. For example, if you watch a video that says someone is bad, you might believe it and even write a comment (评论). But later, you find out the story in the video is made up, and you may feel sorry and even angry at yourself. See, you become less smart little by little without noticing it. Maybe it’s time to wake up—you need a better way to have fun! 29. Does algorithmic recommendation make it difficult for us to refuse short videos? 30. How may people feel when they find out the story in the video is made up? 31. Why do short videos make people stupid? 32. If you want to break the “information cocoon”, what will you do? (At least 20 words) 【答案】29. Yes.\ Yes, it does. 30. They may feel sorry and even angry at themselves. 或者 They may feel sorry and even angry. 或者 Sorry and (even) angry. 31. Because they may cause “information cocoon”, difficulty to read and think, and wrong decisions. 或者Because people see the same kind of things again and again, find it difficult to read and think, and (may) make wrong decisions. 32.

Are there any special exam traditions in your country? Ivana Nicole Moreno 17, US In the US, students have different habits before exams. Some wear “lucky” clothes, like special socks, to bring good luck. Others do simple things, like eating snacks they think are lucky. I have a special pencil that I always use for exams. I believe it helps me do better. These small habits help me feel calm (冷静的) and ready. Chulkyu Lee 18, South Korea In South Korea, we give our friends sticky rice (糯米) cakes and taffies (太妃糖) before exams. This is because the word “stick” sounds like “pass” in Korean.

I remember when my best friend had a big test, I bought him sticky rice cakes to make him happy. This tradition makes us feel warm and relaxed during stressful exam time. Kevin Xu 19, UK In the UK, there are many fun traditions before exams. In some countryside areas of England, people may see “wishing trees” with coins hammered (钉入) into the bark (树皮).

According to the latest policy (政策), all schools must provide at least 60 minutes of outdoor activities every school day, such as morning runs, group sports, and free exercise time. As soon as the new policy comes out, all schools take action quickly. Some schools are planning inter-class tug-of-war games (拔河比赛), and others will build new cycling tracks. Now, quite a few schools in Chongqing are making creative exercise plans: For example, No.8 Middle School holds “fun basketball” competitions during breaks, while Yubei Experimental School organizes mountain hiking trips every Friday afternoon. It seems that most of the students are happy about the change of exercise at school. When the reporter interviewed a student from No.8 Middle School, he said, “________”, holding a basketball in his sweaty (流汗的) hand. Why did this policy appear? Recent surveys (调查) show that 65% of students spent less than 30 minutes exercising daily before this policy. Why? Because students spent too much time on their learning in the classroom. They kept studying indoors instead of going out for exercise. It took them a long time to learn the knowledge from their books every day. What’s more, they had a lot of homework to finish every day. Even after school they chose to do their homework in the classroom or at home. They didn’t have enough time to exercise. However, doctors say that enough exercise not only builds stronger bodies but also helps students remember things better and reduces stress. “When students run or play team sports, their brains (大脑) get more oxygen (氧气), which helps them study better,” says Dr. Wang from Children’s Hospital. As the new policy is carried out, middle school students can have more time to exercise and stay healthy. This will not only make them stronger but also help them study better. 49. Does the new policy ask schools to provide more exercise time for students? 50. What creative exercise plan can we find in No.8 Middle School? 51. Why did most students spend less time exercising before this new policy? 52. What may the student from No.8 Middle School say according to the passage? (About 25 words) 【答案】49. Yes. 50. “Fun basketball” competitions during breaks. 51. Long study hours and heavy homework. 52. The student from No.8 Middle School may say, “Exercise during breaks makes me feel relaxed and energetic, and it also helps me focus better on my studies.” 【来源】重庆市第八中学校2024-2025学年八年级下学期4月期中英语试题 【知识点】教育、说明文 【导语】本文主要讲述了在最新出台的政策下，学生作业减少，负担减少，有更多时间参与课外兴趣活动。 49. 根据“According to the latest policy (政策), all schools must provide at least 60 minutes of outdoor activities every school day, such as morning runs, group sports, and free exercise time.”可知，新政策确实要求学校为学生提供更多的锻炼时间。故填Yes. 50. 根据“For example, No.8 Middle School holds ‘fun basketball’ competitions during breaks, while Yubei Experimental School organizes mountain hiking trips every Friday afternoon.”可知， 在第八中学，我们可以发现他们创造性的锻炼计划是在课间举办“趣味篮球”比赛。故填“Fun basketball” competitions during breaks. 51. 根据“Because students spent too much time on their learning in the classroom.”和“What’s more, they had a lot of homework to finish every day.”可知，在这项新政策出台之前，大多数学生由于学习时间长和作业繁重，所以锻炼时间较少。故填Long study hours and heavy homework. 52. 此题为开放性试题，言之有理即可。故填The student from No.8 Middle School may say, “Exercise during breaks makes me feel relaxed and energetic, and it also helps me focus better on my studies.” 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
