It helps us know what we want to do in the future and how to achieve our goals. Here are some steps to make a career plan. First, understand yourself. Think about your interests, skills and strengths. For example, if you like working with children and are good at communicating, you might consider becoming a teacher. If you are interested in science and enjoy doing experiments, a career in research could be a good choice. Second, do research on different careers. Learn about the requirements, working conditions and development prospects (前景) of different jobs. You can read books, search online or talk to people who work in the fields you are interested in. This can help you make a better decision. Third, set short-term and long-term goals. Short-term goals are things you want to achieve in one or two years, such as learning a new skill or getting a certificate (证书). Long-term goals are what you want to achieve in five or ten years, like becoming a manager or starting your own business. Fourth, make an action plan. Once you have set your goals, you need to figure out what steps to take to achieve them. For example, if your goal is to become a doctor, you need to study hard in school, get into a good medical college and complete your training. Finally, review and adjust (调整) your plan regularly. As you grow and change, your interests and goals may also change. It’s important to review your career plan from time to time and make adjustments if necessary. 1．What is an important part of personal growth? 2．What should you think about when understanding yourself? 3．How can you research different careers? 4．What are short-term goals? 5．Which step of making a career plan is the most important to you? Why? Passage 2 More and more people are working and playing in virtual reality (VR) these days. In VR, people have their own avatars (虚拟形象) and can do many things like in the real world. This new world brings new jobs. The VR fashion designer is one of them. They design cool clothes for people’s avatars. People want their avatars to look nice, so these designers are in great demand. Another new job is a VR event planner. They plan online parties, meetings and games in VR. They need to know how to make these events fun and safe for everyone. These new jobs are exciting, but they also need special skills. People need to learn how to use VR tools and be creative to make good things for the virtual world. 1．What are avatars? 2．What do VR fashion designers do? 3．What is another new job mentioned in the passage? 4．What skills do these new VR jobs need? Passage 3 “Every worker coming to Beijing has their own reasons. No one lives here without a dream,” said Chen Jianguo, a 35-year-old food deliveryman (送餐员) from a small and poor town. Chen Jianguo dreamed of having his own business in Beijing about 16 years ago. But his father asked him to take his place as a truck driver. Although Chen disliked the job, he didn’t want to make his father sad. He took the job as a truck driver. Then he got married and had a son. “I got quite good pay, but life was boring there during those years. Most of the time I had nothing to do.” said Chen. So Chen decided to give up his job and come to Beijing. His wife agreed that he should go for his dream. So did his son. Chen has been a food deliveryman for a month. He works for 15 hours every day and hardly has time for lunch at noon. “I want to give a better life to my wife and little son.” he said. “I must work harder and try to become the best food deliveryman at my station.” Chen likes his job because he can meet many different people. Chen plans to start his own restaurant in the future, so he always writes down what food people have ordered. In this way, he can know about different people’s tastes. 1．Where does Chen Jianguo come from? 2．What was Chen’s job before he came to Beijing? 3．How long does Chen work in Beijing every day? 4．What kind of person do you think Chen Jianguo is? Why?  (30 words or more) Passage 4 In 2026, our school held a “Dream Career & Growth Story” sharing meeting. Three students shared their experiences of chasing career dreams and overcoming growing pains. Zhao Yan, 14: “My dream is to be a doctor. My grandmother was seriously ill last year, and the doctors saved her life. Since then, I’ve wanted to help sick people. But my growing pain is that I’m afraid of seeing blood. To get over this, I started reading medical books and watching educational videos about medicine. I also volunteered at a community clinic to get used to medical scenes. Now, I’m not afraid anymore. My gain is that I’ve learned to be brave and responsible.” Li Ming, 13: “I want to be a teacher. I love working with children and sharing knowledge. But I’m very shy—I can’t even answer questions in class. My English teacher suggested I join the debate club. At first, I was nervous, but I kept practicing. Now, I can speak in front of the whole school. I’ve gained confidence and communication skills. I know that being a teacher requires courage to speak, and I’m getting closer to my dream.” Chen Xi, 14: “My dream is to be a painter. I love drawing, but my parents didn’t support me at first. They thought drawing would affect my study. This was my biggest growing pain. I talked to my parents seriously, showing them my paintings and promising to balance study and drawing. I made a schedule to finish homework first and then draw for 30 minutes every day. Gradually, my parents saw my progress in both study and drawing, and they started to support me. My gain is that I’ve learned to communicate with others and keep my promises.” All three students agreed that growing pains are necessary for growth. They encourage every teenager to hold onto their dreams and face difficulties bravely. 根据语篇内容，按要求回答问题。 1．What activity did the school hold in 2026? 2．Why does Zhao Yan want to be a doctor? 3．How did Li Ming overcome his shyness? 4．Why didn’t Chen Xi’s parents support her at first?（不超过15个词） 5．What do the three students agree on?（不超过15个词） Passage 5 Most people have never heard of a pet detective before watching the old movie Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. However, real-life pet detectives are different from the noisy and funny detective Ventura in the movie. They are trained experts who take their jobs very seriously. Liu Wei, a man from Shanghai, is quite famous in this new business. In 2012, he read an article about pet detectives by chance, and he decided to become one. At first, his family didn’t support him because it was a new industry. However, Liu didn’t give up. Now he has a 12-member team working with him. They receive about 30 orders every month. “It’s a great sense of achievement when I finally find a missing pet after days of efforts,” he said. To find a missing pet, Liu waits in the long grass secretly, checks underground pipelines carefully and searches in the parking lots. It’s very common for him to walk tens of thousands of steps a day. Liu also makes good use of modern tools while searching. The pet detective business has grown in China in recent years as more people keep pets at home. Hiring a pet detective is not cheap. It can cost from a few thousand to more than 10,000 yuan, but it’s worth it for pet owners. “They are not just animals. They are members of the family,” Liu said. So far, Liu’s team has helped reunite more than 1,000 lost cats, dogs and birds with their worried, sad owners. 1．What are real-life pet detectives like? 2．Who didn’t agree with Liu’s decision of becoming a pet detective? 3．Why has the pet detective business grown in China recently? 4．Do you think Liu has a good job? Why or why not? Write 30 words or more. 话题2 人与自我—成长的苦与乐 Passage 6 I’m a student. I hate talking about my feelings, but sometimes it really hurts to keep all my bad feelings inside. A few people say I can talk to them about anything. But whenever I tell anyone about my problems, it makes me think that I’m sharing a vulnerable (脆弱的) side of me. I keep thinking about what the other person thinks of me. What can I do? —Jimmy I know how that feels, Jimmy. I was reaching a breaking point with all my feelings kept inside. One day, I talked to a friend. After talking with her, I was worried. I thought she would laugh at me. However, in the following days, she treated me the same, and I knew it was OK to open up to someone sometimes. —Luna I understand this completely. I don’t like sharing my feelings with others, so I write them down online and then delete them. It helps. No one sees my words, but I get all those thoughts out. —Mike Whenever I hear someone say “I don’t want to trouble others with my bad feelings.”, I feel very sorry for them. Sharing feelings is important to everyone. When we don’t do so, we feel hurt and lonely. Others also find it difficult to understand us. So, Jimmy, if you don’t want to talk to your family and friends, you can talk with a psychotherapist (心理治疗医师). —Susan 1．Why doesn’t Jimmy like to share his feelings? (不超过15个词) 2．How does Mike get his feelings out? (不超过10个词) 3．What do Luna, Mike and Susan want to tell Jimmy? (不超过10个词) Passage 7 新素材 [小伙为救同学缺考] Imagine you are on your way to take a very important exam. Suddenly, one of your classmates falls down beside you. This is exactly what happened to Jiang Zhaopeng, a 17-year-old student at a vocational school in Shandong on 10th May 2025. Jiang was on his way to take the Shandong Provincial Spring College Entrance Examination, which is a college entrance exam in China. His classmate had a heart problem and stopped breathing. Jiang didn’t think twice. He quickly used the CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation, 心肺复苏) skills he learned at school to help his classmate. With the help of the driver, they drove to the hospital in just 7 minutes. They even ran through six red lights on the way. In the end, Jiang’s classmate got better, but Jiang missed his Chinese exam. This story became very popular on the Internet. More than 2 million people online said Jiang was a hero. They said, “He passed the most important test in life.” On 14th May, the Shandong Education Authority decided to give Jiang a special make-up exam. They used backup test papers to ensure fairness. Both Jiang and the driver, Wang Tao, got “Bravery Certificates” from the local government. Teachers and experts said this showed how useful the first-aid skills we learned in school could be. These skills can help save lives in real emergencies (突发事件). When people asked Jiang about missing the exam, he said, “We can take exams again, but we can’t bring a life back if it’s gone.” This event teaches us that being kind is more important than getting good grades. As an expert said, “Exams test our knowledge, but Jiang’s decision showed his good character, and he did very well in that test.” Jiang’s story tells us that saving someone’s life is the biggest success of all. 1．What did Jiang Zhaopeng do when he found his classmate fell down beside him? 2．How many netizens praised Jiang Zhaopeng? 3．How long did it take the driver to take them to hospital? 4．What do you think of Jiang Zhaopeng? What can you learn from him? Write 30 words or more. Passage 8 Wang Qian was a lovely girl, who never argued  (争吵) with her parents. 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) Passage 9 Nick is a 14-year-old schoolboy. His life is full of exams and studies on weekdays. He has little free time. He thinks playing computer games is the best way to relax. When he has free time, he sits in front of the computer. Just like that way, he neither eats nor drinks for hours. Last weekend, he played games in front of the computer again. He was too excited and didn’t want to move. He didn’t have anything for six hours. 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. In other words, he needs more exercise to make him have a healthy body. After coming back from the hospital, Nick followed the doctor’s advice. He often plays football with his friends these days. Sometimes he still plays computer games at weekends, but he never does it for long. Now he lives a happy and healthy life. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．How old is Nick? 2．What does Nick think is his favourite way to relax? 3．How long didn’t Nick have anything? 4．What did the doctor tell Nick to do? 5．Is it good for a teenager to play games too long? What should you do to avoid it? Passage 10 My friend, Robert, has a twin sister named Amanda. Though they get along well, there are some things about Amanda and her friends that puzzle (使困惑) him. He can’t understand how girls can talk for long. For example, sometimes when he leaves home to play football, Amanda and her friend, Sharon, are sitting on the sofa, talking. When he comes back three hours later, they’re still sitting there, going on with the same topic. Boys and girls have different attitudes towards friendships. Friendships between girls are usually about sharing feelings and support, but boys prefer to share activities or interests. A boy seems to be more careful about sharing his feelings with his friends. A girl’s closest friend, however, might always be about to tell her about something that has happened in her life. Many studies show that girls have more friendships than boys. In fact, many teenage boys cannot name a single best friend. When asked, they think for a while before answering, “My best friend? Er, I don’t think about that, and I have so many different friends that it is hard to choose just one best friend.” Girls who have been asked can usually answer the question without thinking, “A best friend? Of course. We have a lot to share with each other and do a lot of things together.” We have to realize: boys share activities, while girls share feelings more. But the most important thing to remember is that both of them need friendships. 1．What’s the relationship between Robert and Amanda? (不超过5个词) 2．Who has more friendships, boys or girls? (不超过5个词) 3．What do boys and girls have in common according to the passage? (不超过10个词) 话题3 人与社会—团队精神 Passage 11 Do you know what teamwork is? Teamwork means working well together as a team. Teamwork offers many benefits. First, the team can break down a large project into smaller tasks. When dealing with a large project, everyone can take on a smaller part of the work instead of placing all the burden on one person. Second, teamwork creates more opportunities. When people work together, they can solve difficult problems in the project from different perspectives (视角). People can communicate with others who have different experiences and opinions. Third, teamwork helps you recognise your strengths and weaknesses. When people work in a group, they will engage in self-reflection (自我反省). However, there are some disadvantages of teamwork. First, teamwork may be unfair. Sometimes the work isn’t distributed equally (平均地). Hard-working members may receive the same rewards as the lazy ones, which is unfair. The team might fall apart. Second, it can lead to unhealthy competition. When people are placed on the same team, they may compete with each other naturally. If this becomes the group’s focus, the quality of team- work may drop. Finally, some people who are used to working by themselves will work better alone than in a team. And their working style might not be good for team unity. In a word, every coin has its two sides. Teamwork can really help us do better if we use it right. 1．What is teamwork according to the passage? 2．Why can people know their strengths and weaknesses when working in a group? 3．Which kind of people may work better alone than in a team? 4．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? 5．Do you like working in a team? Why or why not? Passage 12 Today our group had to make a volcano model for science class. There are three of us: Sharla, Tony and me. At first, we couldn’t agree on anything. Sharla wanted the volcano to look like a real one, but Tony thought it should be colorful. I just wanted to finish it fast. We all felt angry and sad. We even argued about the base (底座) of the volcano, and Tony didn’t want to touch the paste (浆糊). I thought our group could not work together at all. April 16 Yesterday, our science teacher Mrs. Holt talked to us. She said: “A good team listens to everyone’s ideas. You need to find a way to make everyone happy.” This morning, we tried again. I asked everyone to share their best ideas. Sharla agreed to make the volcano’s shape real, Tony said he could paint bright colors on the rock, and I promised to make the base carefully. We divided the work and helped each other. By the end of the day, our volcano model looked great! We were so proud of ourselves. 1．Did the group agree on everything at first? 2．Who gave the group good advice about teamwork? 3．What did they do to make the volcano model great? 4．What can you learn from their story? (no more than 20 words) Passage 13 In May 1960, four Chinese climbers set out to climb Mount Qomolangma. They faced freezing winds and thin air, but they trusted each other completely. When they reached the Second Step, a 30-metre-high wall of rock, the thin air took their strength away. Liu Lianman, one of the climbers, fell back four times. He knew he could not climb further, but he chose to be a “human ladder” for his teammates. He lowered his body and let Qu Yinhua stand on his shoulders. Every second was painful, but Liu made every effort to hold on. In the end, he managed to help his three teammates climb up.         Their oxygen was running low then. It was dangerous to climb without it, but Liu gave all his oxygen to his teammates so that they could carry on. The three teammates supported each other and reached the top at 4:20 a.m. on May 25. They were the first Chinese people to climb the difficult North Ridge. 1． How many climbers tried to climb Mount Qomolangma in 1960? 2． What problem did they meet on the Second Step? 3． Why did Liu Lianman become a “human ladder”? 4． Did they succeed in the end? What does this story tell us about teamwork? Passage 14 Teamwork is like magic that helps us achieve amazing things! No matter what we do, working together makes everything better. However, it is not always easy to build a good team. Let’s learn how to build a strong team together! A good leader is the heart of a successful team. Leaders should cheer teammates up, listen to ideas, help solve problems and so on. For example, leaders can praise team members’ efforts and help them set clear goals. When leaders show kindness and confidence, team members feel safe and encouraged. Communication is the glue that holds teams together. We need to express our feelings and ideas clearly so that we can understand each other better. Good communication helps us a lot during teamwork. Disagreements are normal in any team. When arguments happen, don’t run away! The best way is to quickly solve problems face to face. The leader should help people talk calmly and listen to their opinions instead of taking sides (支持某一方). The team leader must set a good example. If the leader arrives late or is tired of work, team members might follow. But if the leader works hard with a smile, everyone will feel encouraged. A leader’s spirit is like the sunshine that lights up the whole team. No matter our age or job, teamwork skills are so important. When we work together, we can get over challenges and create wonderful results. Let’s practise being good team members and leaders today. 1．Who is the heart of a successful team? 2．What do we need to do to help us understand each other better? 3．What is a leader’s spirit like? 4．What do you think is the most important quality for a team leader? Why? Write 30 words or more. Passage 15 On May 29, 1953, mountaineers Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay set foot on the top of Qomolangma, the world’s highest mountain. They were the first ever to reach its top, marking a big moment in history. So how did they do it? In a 1974 interview, Hillary talked about the climb. He said that to do a climb like this, being skilled and experienced in climbing is not enough. “You also need to have enthusiasm (热情). The really good mountaineers that I know never lose the enthusiasm,” he said. And then, there was the team. Helping Hillary and Norgay to the top were no less than 700 people, said Hillary. Some of them were helping to carry food and clothes into the area. It might be easier these days, with better transport and technology, but back then, a lot of the work needed to be done by people. “It is a team job. The two men who reached the top were completely dependent on the whole team,” he said. Even though Hillary had a good team and all he needed, he wasn’t sure if they would reach the top. Because of the height, anything can happen, and it can happen really fast. “On a mountain like this, you can never be completely confident,” he said. Hillary and Norgay’s amazing success shows the importance of enthusiasm and teamwork. It has encouraged many others to try to climb the mountain since. 1．According to Hillary, what are needed to climb a mountain like Qomolangma? ( At least 2 points) 2．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? (No more than 10 words) 3．Why did Hillary say that he wasn’t sure if they would reach the top? · 真题聚焦 Passage 16 （25-26八年级上·四川成都·期中）根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 The students at Tom’s school plant vegetables (蔬菜) in their school garden.

Passage 17 （24-25八年级下·安徽安庆·期中）Team spirit means the willingness of people to work together and help each other as part of a team. With this spirit, people try hard to make their team the best of all. Everyone has experienced team spirit one way or another, whether they were part of a team or saw a group of people cheer for their favourite player. There are different kinds of team spirit. One kind is the connection between a team of people because their efforts and cooperation (合作) are necessary in reaching a particular goal. One kind is when a group of people support a person or a team. Another is people’s natural love for and pride in their country, when a whole nation cheers for its country in competitions. Team spirit can also be seen in the workplace or in some activities. Team spirit creates various good effects. It creates friendship and trust between people who may not get along when they don’t have such team spirit. There may also be bad effects. Too much team spirit may cause arguments or fights with other team members. Some people don’t understand team spirit properly. They think team spirit means having to become an official member of an organization, team or fan club.

They wear blue, red or yellow clothes and they often drive a motorbike. And most of them are always in a hurry. Some of them often break traffic (交通) rules. They drive fast on the road and run red lights. Some even make calls when driving. In 2021, the food deliverymen had 176 traffic accidents in Shanghai, according to Xinhua News Agency. That means around every two days, someone gets hurt on the road. Why are they always in such a hurry and some even put themselves into such danger? Many food delivery companies (公司) have many strict rules for them. For example, many companies will fine (罚款) a deliveryman if he can’t deliver an order (订单) on time. Also, many of them wish to take more orders and make more money. People believe food delivery service companies need to do something. Shanghai asks companies to teach their deliverymen traffic rules. And in Shenzhen, if a deliveryman breaks traffic rules three times, then he can’t do the job for the year. At the same time, we wish companies and people can give deliverymen more time on the street. 1．Are there more and more food deliverymen around us now? 2．How many accidents did deliverymen have in Shanghai in 2021? 3．Why are some deliverymen always in a hurry? 4．If your order is late, are you going to give bad reviews(差评) to the deliveryman?

It helps us know what we want to do in the future and how to achieve our goals. Here are some steps to make a career plan. First, understand yourself. Think about your interests, skills and strengths. For example, if you like working with children and are good at communicating, you might consider becoming a teacher. If you are interested in science and enjoy doing experiments, a career in research could be a good choice. Second, do research on different careers. Learn about the requirements, working conditions and development prospects (前景) of different jobs. You can read books, search online or talk to people who work in the fields you are interested in. This can help you make a better decision. Third, set short-term and long-term goals. Short-term goals are things you want to achieve in one or two years, such as learning a new skill or getting a certificate (证书). Long-term goals are what you want to achieve in five or ten years, like becoming a manager or starting your own business. Fourth, make an action plan. Once you have set your goals, you need to figure out what steps to take to achieve them. For example, if your goal is to become a doctor, you need to study hard in school, get into a good medical college and complete your training. Finally, review and adjust (调整) your plan regularly. As you grow and change, your interests and goals may also change. It’s important to review your career plan from time to time and make adjustments if necessary. 1．What is an important part of personal growth? 2．What should you think about when understanding yourself? 3．How can you research different careers? 4．What are short-term goals? 5．Which step of making a career plan is the most important to you?

But his father asked him to take his place as a truck driver. Although Chen disliked the job, he didn’t want to make his father sad. He took the job as a truck driver. Then he got married and had a son. “I got quite good pay, but life was boring there during those years. Most of the time I had nothing to do.” said Chen. So Chen decided to give up his job and come to Beijing. His wife agreed that he should go for his dream. So did his son. Chen has been a food deliveryman for a month. He works for 15 hours every day and hardly has time for lunch at noon. “I want to give a better life to my wife and little son.” he said. “I must work harder and try to become the best food deliveryman at my station.” Chen likes his job because he can meet many different people.

Passage 4 In 2026, our school held a “Dream Career & Growth Story” sharing meeting. Three students shared their experiences of chasing career dreams and overcoming growing pains. Zhao Yan, 14: “My dream is to be a doctor. My grandmother was seriously ill last year, and the doctors saved her life. Since then, I’ve wanted to help sick people. But my growing pain is that I’m afraid of seeing blood. To get over this, I started reading medical books and watching educational videos about medicine. I also volunteered at a community clinic to get used to medical scenes. Now, I’m not afraid anymore. My gain is that I’ve learned to be brave and responsible.” Li Ming, 13: “I want to be a teacher. I love working with children and sharing knowledge. But I’m very shy—I can’t even answer questions in class. My English teacher suggested I join the debate club. At first, I was nervous, but I kept practicing. Now, I can speak in front of the whole school. I’ve gained confidence and communication skills. I know that being a teacher requires courage to speak, and I’m getting closer to my dream.” Chen Xi, 14: “My dream is to be a painter. I love drawing, but my parents didn’t support me at first. They thought drawing would affect my study. This was my biggest growing pain. I talked to my parents seriously, showing them my paintings and promising to balance study and drawing. I made a schedule to finish homework first and then draw for 30 minutes every day. Gradually, my parents saw my progress in both study and drawing, and they started to support me.

However, real-life pet detectives are different from the noisy and funny detective Ventura in the movie. They are trained experts who take their jobs very seriously. Liu Wei, a man from Shanghai, is quite famous in this new business. In 2012, he read an article about pet detectives by chance, and he decided to become one. At first, his family didn’t support him because it was a new industry. However, Liu didn’t give up. Now he has a 12-member team working with him. They receive about 30 orders every month. “It’s a great sense of achievement when I finally find a missing pet after days of efforts,” he said. To find a missing pet, Liu waits in the long grass secretly, checks underground pipelines carefully and searches in the parking lots. It’s very common for him to walk tens of thousands of steps a day. Liu also makes good use of modern tools while searching. The pet detective business has grown in China in recent years as more people keep pets at home. Hiring a pet detective is not cheap. It can cost from a few thousand to more than 10,000 yuan, but it’s worth it for pet owners. “They are not just animals. They are members of the family,” Liu said. So far, Liu’s team has helped reunite more than 1,000 lost cats, dogs and birds with their worried, sad owners. 1．What are real-life pet detectives like? 2．Who didn’t agree with Liu’s decision of becoming a pet detective? 3．Why has the pet detective business grown in China recently? 4．Do you think Liu has a good job? Why or why not? Write 30 words or more. 【答案】1．They are trained experts who take their jobs very seriously. 2．Liu’s family. 3．Because more people keep pets at home. 4．Yes, I do. Because the job as a pet detective is quite meaningful. I really love animals and have pets too. What he does is bringing hope to pet owners and taking their family members home.（答案合理即可） 【导语】本文是一篇以记叙文为主的人物报道，讲述了刘伟阅读了宠物侦探的相关文章后，决定从事该职业，从家人反对、坚持创业、组建团队到辛苦寻找宠物，最后帮助了上千个家庭。 1．根据“real-life pet detectives are different from the noisy and funny detective Ventura in the movie. They are trained experts who take their jobs very seriously.”可知，现实生活中的宠物侦探是训练有素的专家，对自己的工作非常认真。故填They are trained experts who take their jobs very seriously. 2．根据“At first, his family didn’t support him because it was a new industry.”可知，刘伟的家人不支持他从事宠物侦探，且“didn’t support”与题干中“didn’t agree with”为同义词替换。故填Liu’s family. 3．根据“The pet detective business has grown in China in recent years as more people keep pets at home.”可知，宠物侦探行业近年来在中国兴起的原因在于越来越多的人养宠物，句子中的as表示“因为”，引导原因状语从句。故填Because more people keep pets at home. 4．本题为开放性问题，答案不唯一，结合自身爱好、职业倾向以及对宠物侦探行业的认知了解等合理回答即可。故填Yes, I do. Because the job as a pet detective is quite meaningful. I really love animals and have pets too. What he does is bringing hope to pet owners and taking their family members home. 话题2 人与自我—成长的苦与乐 Passage 6 I’m a student. I hate talking about my feelings, but sometimes it really hurts to keep all my bad feelings inside. A few people say I can talk to them about anything. But whenever I tell anyone about my problems, it makes me think that I’m sharing a vulnerable (脆弱的) side of me. I keep thinking about what the other person thinks of me. What can I do? —Jimmy I know how that feels, Jimmy. I was reaching a breaking point with all my feelings kept inside. One day, I talked to a friend. After talking with her, I was worried. I thought she would laugh at me. However, in the following days, she treated me the same, and I knew it was OK to open up to someone sometimes. —Luna I understand this completely. I don’t like sharing my feelings with others, so I write them down online and then delete them. It helps. No one sees my words, but I get all those thoughts out. —Mike Whenever I hear someone say “I don’t want to trouble others with my bad feelings.”, I feel very sorry for them. Sharing feelings is important to everyone. When we don’t do so, we feel hurt and lonely. Others also find it difficult to understand us. So, Jimmy, if you don’t want to talk to your family and friends, you can talk with a psychotherapist (心理治疗医师). —Susan 1．Why doesn’t Jimmy like to share his feelings? (不超过15个词) 2．How does Mike get his feelings out? (不超过10个词) 3．What do Luna, Mike and Susan want to tell Jimmy? (不超过10个词) 【答案】1．Because he is afraid to show his vulnerable side to others. 2．He writes them down online and then deletes them. 3．He should find a way to share his feelings. (答案不唯一) 【导语】本文讲述了Jimmy因不愿暴露脆弱而压抑情绪时，三位朋友分别通过分享自身经历给出建议，共同传递了“情绪需要适当宣泄”的理念。 1．第一段Jimmy给出了原因“it makes me think that I’m sharing a vulnerable (脆弱的) side of me”。答案是对原文信息的直接转述。 2．第三段Mike提出了方法“I don’t like sharing my feelings with others, so I write them down online and then delete (删除) them”。答案直接选取了核心动作描述，几乎是原文引述。 3．文中提到三个事实：一是Luna通过向朋友倾诉，发现“向他人敞开心扉是可以的”；二是Mike通过线上写下感受再删除的方式宣泄情绪；三是Susan强调 “分享感受很重要”，并建议Jimmy可与心理治疗医师沟通。答案将这三点整合为“share his feelings”。 Passage 7 新素材 [小伙为救同学缺考] Imagine you are on your way to take a very important exam. Suddenly, one of your classmates falls down beside you. This is exactly what happened to Jiang Zhaopeng, a 17-year-old student at a vocational school in Shandong on 10th May 2025. Jiang was on his way to take the Shandong Provincial Spring College Entrance Examination, which is a college entrance exam in China. His classmate had a heart problem and stopped breathing. Jiang didn’t think twice. He quickly used the CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation, 心肺复苏) skills he learned at school to help his classmate. With the help of the driver, they drove to the hospital in just 7 minutes. They even ran through six red lights on the way. In the end, Jiang’s classmate got better, but Jiang missed his Chinese exam. This story became very popular on the Internet. More than 2 million people online said Jiang was a hero. They said, “He passed the most important test in life.” On 14th May, the Shandong Education Authority decided to give Jiang a special make-up exam. They used backup test papers to ensure fairness. Both Jiang and the driver, Wang Tao, got “Bravery Certificates” from the local government. Teachers and experts said this showed how useful the first-aid skills we learned in school could be. These skills can help save lives in real emergencies (突发事件). When people asked Jiang about missing the exam, he said, “We can take exams again, but we can’t bring a life back if it’s gone.” This event teaches us that being kind is more important than getting good grades. As an expert said, “Exams test our knowledge, but Jiang’s decision showed his good character, and he did very well in that test.” Jiang’s story tells us that saving someone’s life is the biggest success of all. 1．What did Jiang Zhaopeng do when he found his classmate fell down beside him? 2．How many netizens praised Jiang Zhaopeng? 3．How long did it take the driver to take them to hospital? 4．What do you think of Jiang Zhaopeng? What can you learn from him? Write 30 words or more. 【答案】1．He quickly used the CPR skills he learned at school to help his classmate. 2．More than 2 million netizens. 3．Just 7 minutes. 4．I think Jiang Zhaopeng is a hero. He is brave and smart. He uses the CPR skills at the right time.

Passage 8 Wang Qian was a lovely girl, who never argued  (争吵) with her parents. 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. The lack of support is also a possible reason.” 答案是对原文两处原因的直接整合提取。 2．文中第三段提到，“The survey shows that eighth-graders may try to persuade their parents when they have different ideas.” 答案为原文直接引述。 3．文中第四段用“First, ...Second, ...Finally, ...”的结构列出了三条建议，通过序数词可直接统计出建议数量为3条。 4．文中第四段第一条建议为“First, calm down and pay more attention to your studies.”，答案是对原文的直接提取（将第二人称your转换为第三人称their）。 5．本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一。需结合自身实际，围绕“是否足够成熟”给出观点并说明理由，保证单词数量不少于30个，逻辑清晰即可。 Passage 9 Nick is a 14-year-old schoolboy. His life is full of exams and studies on weekdays. He has little free time. He thinks playing computer games is the best way to relax. When he has free time, he sits in front of the computer. Just like that way, he neither eats nor drinks for hours. Last weekend, he played games in front of the computer again. He was too excited and didn’t want to move. He didn’t have anything for six hours. 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. In other words, he needs more exercise to make him have a healthy body.

Though they get along well, there are some things about Amanda and her friends that puzzle (使困惑) him. He can’t understand how girls can talk for long. For example, sometimes when he leaves home to play football, Amanda and her friend, Sharon, are sitting on the sofa, talking. When he comes back three hours later, they’re still sitting there, going on with the same topic. Boys and girls have different attitudes towards friendships. Friendships between girls are usually about sharing feelings and support, but boys prefer to share activities or interests. A boy seems to be more careful about sharing his feelings with his friends. A girl’s closest friend, however, might always be about to tell her about something that has happened in her life. Many studies show that girls have more friendships than boys. In fact, many teenage boys cannot name a single best friend. When asked, they think for a while before answering, “My best friend? Er, I don’t think about that, and I have so many different friends that it is hard to choose just one best friend.” Girls who have been asked can usually answer the question without thinking, “A best friend? Of course. We have a lot to share with each other and do a lot of things together.” We have to realize: boys share activities, while girls share feelings more. But the most important thing to remember is that both of them need friendships. 1．What’s the relationship between Robert and Amanda? (不超过5个词) 2．Who has more friendships, boys or girls? (不超过5个词) 3．What do boys and girls have in common according to the passage?

Teamwork means working well together as a team. Teamwork offers many benefits. First, the team can break down a large project into smaller tasks. When dealing with a large project, everyone can take on a smaller part of the work instead of placing all the burden on one person. Second, teamwork creates more opportunities. When people work together, they can solve difficult problems in the project from different perspectives (视角). People can communicate with others who have different experiences and opinions. Third, teamwork helps you recognise your strengths and weaknesses. When people work in a group, they will engage in self-reflection (自我反省). However, there are some disadvantages of teamwork. First, teamwork may be unfair. Sometimes the work isn’t distributed equally (平均地). Hard-working members may receive the same rewards as the lazy ones, which is unfair. The team might fall apart. Second, it can lead to unhealthy competition. When people are placed on the same team, they may compete with each other naturally. If this becomes the group’s focus, the quality of team- work may drop. Finally, some people who are used to working by themselves will work better alone than in a team. And their working style might not be good for team unity. In a word, every coin has its two sides. Teamwork can really help us do better if we use it right. 1．What is teamwork according to the passage? 2．Why can people know their strengths and weaknesses when working in a group? 3．Which kind of people may work better alone than in a team? 4．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? 5．Do you like working in a team? Why or why not? 【答案】1．Teamwork means working well together as a team. 2．Because they will engage in self-reflection. 3．Some people who are used to working by themselves. 4．The disadvantages of teamwork. 5．Yes, I do. Because teamwork can divide a large project into smaller tasks and create more opportunities. /No, I don't. Because teamwork may be unfair and lead to unhealthy competition. /… 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕团队合作展开，介绍了团队合作的定义、优点、缺点，并表明正确利用团队合作能让我们做得更好。 1．根据第一段“Teamwork means working well together as a team.”，团队合作意味着作为一个团队很好地合作。答案是文中直接信息。 2．根据第二段“Third, teamwork helps you recognise your strengths and weaknesses. When people work in a group, they will engage in self - reflection (自我反省).”，当人们在团队中工作时，他们会进行自我反省，所以能知道自己的优点和缺点。 3．根据第三段“Finally, some people who are used to working by themselves will work better alone than in a team.”，一些习惯独自工作的人独自工作比在团队中工作得更好。答案是文中直接信息。 4．根据第三段“However, there are some disadvantages of teamwork.”以及后面具体阐述的内容可知，第三段主要讲的是团队合作的缺点。 5．开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。参考答案为Yes, I do. Because teamwork can divide a large project into smaller tasks and create more opportunities. /No, I don't. Because teamwork may be unfair and lead to unhealthy competition. /… Passage 12 Today our group had to make a volcano model for science class. There are three of us: Sharla, Tony and me. At first, we couldn’t agree on anything. Sharla wanted the volcano to look like a real one, but Tony thought it should be colorful. I just wanted to finish it fast. We all felt angry and sad. We even argued about the base (底座) of the volcano, and Tony didn’t want to touch the paste (浆糊). I thought our group could not work together at all. April 16 Yesterday, our science teacher Mrs. Holt talked to us. She said: “A good team listens to everyone’s ideas. You need to find a way to make everyone happy.” This morning, we tried again. I asked everyone to share their best ideas. Sharla agreed to make the volcano’s shape real, Tony said he could paint bright colors on the rock, and I promised to make the base carefully. We divided the work and helped each other. By the end of the day, our volcano model looked great! We were so proud of ourselves. 1．Did the group agree on everything at first? 2．Who gave the group good advice about teamwork? 3．What did they do to make the volcano model great? 4．What can you learn from their story? (no more than 20 words) 【答案】1．No, they didn’t. 2．Mrs. Holt, their science teacher. 3．They shared ideas, divided the work, and helped each other. 4．例如：We should listen to others’ ideas and work together in a team. 【导语】本文是两篇日记，讲述了作者所在的三人小组制作科学课火山模型时，最初因想法不合产生矛盾，听从科学老师的团队协作建议后，大家整合想法、分工互助，最终完成出色模型的经历。 1．原文第一段“At first, we couldn’t agree on anything”表明小组一开始并没有达成共识，因此做否定回答。 2．第二段开头“A good team listens to everyone’s ideas. You need to find a way to make everyone happy.”，内容是小组的科学老师Mrs. Holt给出了团队合作的建议，因此得到对应答案。 3．根据第二段描述，小组采纳老师的建议后，协调了每个人的想法，分工完成任务、互相帮助，最终做出了出色的模型，整理核心信息即可。 4．本题是开放性问题，答案不唯一。故事核心传达团队协作的理念，提炼核心观点，满足字数要求即可。 Passage 13 In May 1960, four Chinese climbers set out to climb Mount Qomolangma. They faced freezing winds and thin air, but they trusted each other completely. When they reached the Second Step, a 30-metre-high wall of rock, the thin air took their strength away. Liu Lianman, one of the climbers, fell back four times. He knew he could not climb further, but he chose to be a “human ladder” for his teammates. He lowered his body and let Qu Yinhua stand on his shoulders. Every second was painful, but Liu made every effort to hold on. In the end, he managed to help his three teammates climb up.         Their oxygen was running low then. It was dangerous to climb without it, but Liu gave all his oxygen to his teammates so that they could carry on. The three teammates supported each other and reached the top at 4:20 a.m. on May 25. They were the first Chinese people to climb the difficult North Ridge. 1． How many climbers tried to climb Mount Qomolangma in 1960? 2． What problem did they meet on the Second Step? 3． Why did Liu Lianman become a “human ladder”? 4． Did they succeed in the end?

No matter what we do, working together makes everything better. However, it is not always easy to build a good team. Let’s learn how to build a strong team together! A good leader is the heart of a successful team. Leaders should cheer teammates up, listen to ideas, help solve problems and so on. For example, leaders can praise team members’ efforts and help them set clear goals. When leaders show kindness and confidence, team members feel safe and encouraged. Communication is the glue that holds teams together. We need to express our feelings and ideas clearly so that we can understand each other better. Good communication helps us a lot during teamwork. Disagreements are normal in any team. When arguments happen, don’t run away! The best way is to quickly solve problems face to face. The leader should help people talk calmly and listen to their opinions instead of taking sides (支持某一方). The team leader must set a good example. If the leader arrives late or is tired of work, team members might follow. But if the leader works hard with a smile, everyone will feel encouraged. A leader’s spirit is like the sunshine that lights up the whole team. No matter our age or job, teamwork skills are so important. When we work together, we can get over challenges and create wonderful results. Let’s practise being good team members and leaders today. 1．Who is the heart of a successful team? 2．What do we need to do to help us understand each other better? 3．What is a leader’s spirit like? 4．What do you think is the most important quality for a team leader?

Some of them were helping to carry food and clothes into the area. It might be easier these days, with better transport and technology, but back then, a lot of the work needed to be done by people. “It is a team job. The two men who reached the top were completely dependent on the whole team,” he said. Even though Hillary had a good team and all he needed, he wasn’t sure if they would reach the top. Because of the height, anything can happen, and it can happen really fast. “On a mountain like this, you can never be completely confident,” he said.
