The lantern parade dances in the moonlight, like fish, chasing the moon reflected in the water. In the crowd, Wang Lijun, a 27-year-old villager who serves as the “head fish”, leads the parade of lanterns. Sometimes she cheers on the team behind her. Traditionally, respected elders held the position of “head fish”, but in recent years, younger players returning to their hometown have taken on the role as volunteers. “It has become an emotional connection. Such an energetic custom has attracted more young villagers like me back home, and also young tourists flooding in to experience this traditional Chinese culture,” Wang said. Every year, villagers in Wangmantian hold fish-shaped lantern parades during the Spring Festival. The mountain village often faced the risk of fires in old times. ▲Over time, such a tradition has developed into a wish for good health and wealth. With a history of over 600 years, the fish-shaped lantern was recognized as a provincial-level intangible cultural heritage (非遗) in 2022. Through social media, more than 100,000 visitors from across the country came to Shexian County to experience the parades during the Spring Festival from February 10th to February 17th in 2025. While protecting the intangible cultural heritage, local people have made efforts on business forms related to the fish-shaped lantern. Total sales of fish-shaped lanterns and related products rose to about 1.15 million yuan ($159,700) during the 2025 Spring Festival. Wang Huawu, a 41-year-old craftsman of fish-shaped lanterns, said that since 2023, his workshop has been “filled with orders” and has received nearly 100,000 yuan worth of orders from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong. As fish-shaped lanterns continue to benefit local tourism and related industries, the future looks brighter than ever. 1．Which sentence can be put in“ ▲ ”? A．Besides, the fish-shaped lanterns are usually made of colorful paper and bamboo. B．Therefore, this custom started centuries ago to avoid accidents during the festival. C．However, the lantern parades were called off in some years because of bad weather. D．So villagers used to parade with fish-shaped lanterns, wishing “water overcoming fire”. 2．How does the writer show the development of the fish lantern industry in Paragraph 4? A．By listing numbers. B．By telling a story. C．By asking a question. D．By showing the reason. 3．Which of the following does the writer probably agree with?

Passage 5 （25-26八年级下·全国·单元测试）Last spring, I took a trip to my grandma’s hometown with her. It was a small village in northern Jiangsu, and it was my first time there. Grandma told me a lot of stories about her childhood there, and I was shocked by how much the village had changed. Grandma was born in the village in 1955. When she was a little girl, the village was very poor. There were only muddy roads in the village, and on rainy days, people could hardly walk. Most families lived in old thatched cottages, and they didn’t have enough food to eat. The nearest town was 10 kilometres away, and people had to walk there to buy things, which took more than two hours. “At that time, the only dream of most people was to have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear,” Grandma said. “I never thought life could be so good in the future.” When we drove into the village, I couldn’t believe my eyes. The muddy roads had been replaced by wide, clean paved roads, with street lamps on both sides. Rows of new two-floor houses stood along the roads, with beautiful gardens in front of the doors. Every family had TVs, fridges and cars. There was a big square in the centre of the village, with a fitness area, a library and a community hospital. Grandma met her old friends in the square. They told us that the village had developed a special vegetable planting industry in recent years. Villagers sell their vegetables to big cities through the internet, and many young people have come back to the village to start their own businesses. The government has also helped build new schools and improve the living environment. We stayed in the village for three days. Grandma walked around the village every day with a big smile on her face. She said she was so happy to see the great changes in her hometown. That trip taught me a lot. I saw with my own eyes how the life of Chinese villagers has improved over the years.

She was visiting the Miao village, which is a famous place of interest in Southwest China’s Guizhou Province. The game shows the old and traditional Miao stories through modern technologies. The village has built a 5G platform. It provides different kinds of services. For example, on the platform, tourists can check the real—time map of the village. Besides, they can also find parking lots and the introduction to interesting places on it. More and more 5G platforms are widely used in the tourism area.

I was very interested in it, but I never thought I could visit it one day, because my family could not afford a trip to France. Last year, our art teacher told us that the Louvre Museum had a free online tour on its official website. I was so excited that I ran home after school and turned on my computer right away. I found the online tour page easily, and started my amazing trip. The online tour was perfect. I could “walk” through every hall of the museum freely, just like I was there in person. I could zoom in on every painting and sculpture to see the smallest details, which I could never do in a real museum with crowds of people. There were also clear English introductions for every artwork, so I could learn about the history and stories behind them. I spent over 3 hours in the online tour, and I even forgot to have dinner. I saw the Mona Lisa, of course. Through the screen, I could see the smile on her face clearly. I also saw the famous sculpture Venus de Milo, and many other great works of art. I took a lot of screenshots of my favourite artworks, and put them in my art notebook. That online tour not only let me see the amazing artworks in the Louvre, but also opened a new world for me.

On some popular tourism platforms, tourists can give simple instructions, such as asking about must-visit attractions for a three-day trip to Shanghai. AI usually gives helpful answers within minutes. Mr Liang, CEO of a travel company, said, “AI solves 80% of users’ questions in minutes, cutting trip-planning time from 9 hours to 6.6 hours.” Guizhou and Shanghai have introduced AI assistants (助手) for travellers. Guizhou’s “Huang Xiao Xi”, a digital guide in traditional clothing, creates travel plans in just a few seconds. “Hu Xiao You”, a smart tourism system used in Shanghai, provides real-time updates on traffic at tourist sites, public transport, nearby shops, and even toilet locations. Museums are also using AI. Wearable smart guides provide guiding tours at a lower cost than human guides. They also allow visitors to change the speed of introductions according to their own choice. With new tools like virtual reality (VR，虚拟现实), augmented reality (AR，增强现实), and three-D technology, users can “talk” to historical figures (人物), “communicate” with cultural relics, and watch ancient paintings come to life. These high-tech methods break down the distance between visitors and cultural heritage, making ancient history easier to understand and remember. Gan Chunhui, a researcher in Shanghai, believes AI brings new ways of working in tourism. “Instead of taking the place of traditional jobs, China makes use of technology to breathe new life into these roles,” Gan said. “For tourists, this means more personalized and convenient trips that deepen their understanding of Chinese culture. For local communities, AI helps keep valuable heritage alive without changing the natural beauty of historical sites.” 1．How does Paragraph 3 support its main idea? A．By giving examples of AI tools. B．By showing different opinions. C．By discussing difficulties we meet. D．By discussing tourism in different times. 2．What can be inferred about AI in museums from the article? A．It makes visiting more expensive. B．It works faster than human guides. C．It provides lively visiting experiences. D．It shows more pictures than real objects. 3．What is Gan Chunhui’s opinion about AI in tourism? A．AI will finally take the place of traditional jobs. B．AI is not helpful for protecting cultural heritage. C．The tourism industry depends too much on AI technology. D．AI brings positive effects to both tourists and local communities. 4．What would be the best title for this passage? A．AI Makes Tourism Smarter in China B．The Rise of Online Travel Companies C．Planning a Perfect Trip to Shanghai D．Why Traditional Tourism Is Dying Passage 4 （25-26八年级下·江苏宿迁·月考）Online Travel: Good or Bad? Nowadays, more and more people choose to travel online. With the help of technology, we can visit famous places without leaving home. But is online travel really good? Online travel has many advantages. First, it saves money. You don’t need to pay for transport or hotels. Second, it saves time. You can visit many places in a short time. Third, it is safe. You don’t need to worry about accidents or bad weather. However, online travel also has disadvantages. You cannot feel the real atmosphere. You cannot taste local food or talk to local people. The experience is not as rich as real travel. In my opinion, online travel is a good supplement to real travel. It can help us plan our trips and learn about places before we visit. But it cannot replace (代替) real travel completely. We should try to visit places in person when possible. Both online and real travel have their value. The key is to use them wisely. Technology should help us, not control us. 1．What can’t you do in online travel? A．See pictures. B．Watch videos. C．Taste local food.

B．Real travel is better than online travel. C．Both online and real travel have value. D．Travel is too expensive.

Passage 4 （24-25八年级下·江苏苏州·期中） The captain stood proudly on the high walls of Troy (特洛伊), looking at the empty beach where the Greek (希腊) ships had once been. The morning sun shone on the sea, and a cool wind carried the taste of salt and success. “After ten long years, they’ve finally given up!” the captain said, raising his sword (剑) high. The Trojans below cheered and jumped, “We’ve won! The Greeks are gone!” Just then, an old soldier (士兵) named Hector narrowed his eyes and pointed towards the beach. “Captain, look! They left something behind—a giant wooden horse!” The captain laughed, “Those foolish Greeks! They built it but couldn’t even take it home!” He turned to his soldiers. “Bring it inside! Let it stand in our city as a symbol of our success!” Some of the soldiers were not sure, “what if it’s a trick? The Greeks are cunning (狡猾的).” The captain shouted, “Shut up! After ten years of fighting, they’ve failed. This horse is our prize!” He asked Trojans to pull the giant horse through the gates with ropes. That night, the city held a big celebration. Torches lit up the square as people danced and sang around the wooden horse. “To the stupid Greeks!” a drunk soldier sang and raised his cup. “They spent years building this horse, only to leave it behind! I haven’t laughed like this since my childhood!” the captain laughed and said. As the party died down, the Trojans locked all the gates of the city and then all went to sleep.

The lantern parade dances in the moonlight, like fish, chasing the moon reflected in the water. In the crowd, Wang Lijun, a 27-year-old villager who serves as the “head fish”, leads the parade of lanterns. Sometimes she cheers on the team behind her. Traditionally, respected elders held the position of “head fish”, but in recent years, younger players returning to their hometown have taken on the role as volunteers. “It has become an emotional connection. Such an energetic custom has attracted more young villagers like me back home, and also young tourists flooding in to experience this traditional Chinese culture,” Wang said. Every year, villagers in Wangmantian hold fish-shaped lantern parades during the Spring Festival. The mountain village often faced the risk of fires in old times. ▲Over time, such a tradition has developed into a wish for good health and wealth. With a history of over 600 years, the fish-shaped lantern was recognized as a provincial-level intangible cultural heritage (非遗) in 2022. Through social media, more than 100,000 visitors from across the country came to Shexian County to experience the parades during the Spring Festival from February 10th to February 17th in 2025. While protecting the intangible cultural heritage, local people have made efforts on business forms related to the fish-shaped lantern. Total sales of fish-shaped lanterns and related products rose to about 1.15 million yuan ($159,700) during the 2025 Spring Festival. Wang Huawu, a 41-year-old craftsman of fish-shaped lanterns, said that since 2023, his workshop has been “filled with orders” and has received nearly 100,000 yuan worth of orders from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong. As fish-shaped lanterns continue to benefit local tourism and related industries, the future looks brighter than ever. 1．Which sentence can be put in“ ▲ ”? A．Besides, the fish-shaped lanterns are usually made of colorful paper and bamboo. B．Therefore, this custom started centuries ago to avoid accidents during the festival. C．However, the lantern parades were called off in some years because of bad weather. D．So villagers used to parade with fish-shaped lanterns, wishing “water overcoming fire”. 2．How does the writer show the development of the fish lantern industry in Paragraph 4? A．By listing numbers. B．By telling a story. C．By asking a question. D．By showing the reason. 3．Which of the following does the writer probably agree with? A．The fish lanterns light up a way to the future for the local people. B．The fish lantern parades can protect the village from the risk of fires. C．The fish lanterns only carry cultural meaning of the intangible heritage. D．Tourists flooding to the village may break the balance of the environment. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国安徽汪满田村的鱼形灯笼游行这一省级非物质文化遗产，讲述了该习俗的起源、传承发展，以及其带动当地文旅与相关产业的情况，展现了非遗文化的传承活力与光明前景。 1．第三段第二句指出“The mountain village often faced the risk of fires in old times.”，第三段第四句说明：“Over time, such a tradition has developed into a wish for good health and wealth.”，空处需衔接前文火灾风险的背景与后文传统演变的逻辑。选项D“So villagers used to parade with fish-shaped lanterns, wishing ‘water overcoming fire’.” 契合中国传统民俗“水克火”的防火逻辑，完美承接上下文，为唯一正确答案；选项B用“accidents”泛指，未精准对应“fires”，且与后文无逻辑递进，不符合语境。 2．第四段第二句提到“Total sales of fish-shaped lanterns and related products rose to about 1.15 million yuan ($159,700) during the 2025 Spring Festival.”，第四段第三句提到：“has received nearly 100,000 yuan worth of orders from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong.”，作者通过列举具体数字的方式，展现鱼灯产业的发展。 3．第五段明确说明“As fish-shaped lanterns continue to benefit local tourism and related industries, the future looks brighter than ever. ”，这直接表明鱼灯为当地带来了发展机遇，照亮了当地人的未来，对应A选项。 Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·湖北黄石·期中）Chen Zhe comes from Anji county (县) in Huzhou city, Zhejiang Province.

On the first day, we went to a village named Xiaopingzhai. I was amazed to discover that a small tea factory could bring in 6 million yuan a year with only 20 workers. The next stop of our trip was the village of Kangmian. The new village has 450 housing units. There I have learned that the government helps the people by providing (提供) jobs so that they can support themselves. Of the 1,331 villagers, 609 now have jobs. In Shuiduichong, a traditional Yao ethnic group (瑶族) village, we visited the workshops for making silver ornaments (银饰品). We discovered the skill and a history of more than 200 years. Besides the traditional use of silver ornaments in Yao culture, these objects have a high value. A set of silver ornaments can be sold for between 10,000 and 20,000 yuan on the market. The making of silver ornaments creates jobs in the village, Shuiduichong now has more than 20 family workshops. This trip was over. I have realized that through the hard work of the Chinese government, great changes have taken place in Yunnan. These results should serve as an example for other developing countries. 1．The trip followed the way of _______. A．Xiaopingzhai→Shuiduichong→Kangmian B．Xiaopingzhai→Kangmian →Shuiduichong C．Kangmian→Shuiduichong→Xiaopingzhai D．Kangmian→Xiaopingzhai →Shuiduichong 2．More than _______ years ago, Yao ethic people started to make silver ornaments in the village.

B．To travel around the world. C．To grow plants. D．To cook meals. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要通过作者对云南三个村庄 (小平寨、康棉、水碓冲) 的走访，展现中国政府通过产业扶持 (如茶叶、银饰加工) 和就业帮助推动乡村发展的成果，强调这些实践对其他发展中国家的借鉴意义。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“On the first day, we went to a village named Xiaopingzhai.”、第三段“The next stop of our trip was the village of Kangmian.”以及第四段“In Shuiduichong,”可知，作者这次旅行，先去了小平寨，次站为康棉，末站为水碓冲。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段“We discovered the skill and a history of more than 200 years.”可知，这项技术有200多年的历史了；据此可以推断，早在200多年前，瑶族就开始在村里制作银饰。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“These results should serve as an example for other developing countries.”可知，作者认为云南的成果对其他发展中国家有借鉴意义。故选C。 4．词义猜测题。根据第三段“the government helps the people by providing jobs so that they can support themselves.”可知，政府通过提供工作帮助人们自给自足；据此可以推断，划线单词“support”的意思是“维持生计，支付所需”，与选项A“支付所需费用”相符。故选A。 Passage 4 （25-26八年级下·全国·单元测试）The sun was setting behind the hills when Sun Shaoping got off the bus. He stood at the entrance of his village, unable to believe his eyes. It had been 5 years since he left his hometown to work in the city. The last time he came back, the road into the village was narrow and muddy. His shoes were covered with mud after just a few steps. But now, a wide paved road stretched from the main road all the way to the centre of the village. On both sides of the road, there were tall poplar trees, and street lamps stood every 100 metres. ______ He remembered that most families lived in cave houses dug into the hills. Some of the houses were so old that they leaked when it rained. But now, rows of new houses with red roofs and white walls had been built along the road. Many houses had solar water heaters on the roofs, and some even had small gardens in front of the doors. As he walked into the village, he saw a big square in the centre. There was a basketball court, a fitness area and a small library. Some young men were playing basketball, and a group of elderly people were playing chess under a big tree. He met an old man who was his primary school teacher. The teacher told him that the village had built a new primary school, and all the children could go to school for free. The teacher also told him that the village had set up a farmers’ cooperative. They grew apples on the hills, and sold them to big cities through the internet. Many young people who used to work in the city had come back to start their own businesses. Shaoping walked around the village until it got dark.

He stood at the entrance of his village”对应了②讲述的事件，以此可以排除选项C和D，第二段关键信息“the road … was narrow and muddy. … But now, a wide paved road …”对应④讲述的事件，第四段“As he walked into the village, he saw a big square in the centre. …”和“The teacher told him that the village had built a new primary school,”对应了①讲述的事件，第五段“The teacher also told him that the village had set up a farmers’ cooperative.”对应了③讲述的事件，根据以上，所以事件的先后顺序为A选项。 2．空白处是第三段的首句，一般需要承接上下文的内容，第二段讲的是道路的变化，第三段是关于房子的变化，承接第二段，选项B“even more surprising”体现了变化的递进，“The changes to the houses”启下了第三段房子的变化对比，所以B选项符合逻辑。 3． 第五段“The teacher also told him … set up a farmers’ cooperative. They grew apples on the hills, and sold them to big cities through the internet.”这句话讲述农民联合进行生产、销售的合作模式，符合“合作社”的定义。 4． 最后一段“But he realized that his hometown was full of hope and chances”以及前面讲述的孙少平看到的村庄的各种变化，看出他看到了家乡的变化后，意识到了家乡充满希望和机遇，与C选项“因为他看到了家乡的巨大变化和新机遇”完全对应。 Passage 5 （25-26八年级下·全国·单元测试）Last spring, I took a trip to my grandma’s hometown with her. It was a small village in northern Jiangsu, and it was my first time there. Grandma told me a lot of stories about her childhood there, and I was shocked by how much the village had changed. Grandma was born in the village in 1955. When she was a little girl, the village was very poor. There were only muddy roads in the village, and on rainy days, people could hardly walk. Most families lived in old thatched cottages, and they didn’t have enough food to eat. The nearest town was 10 kilometres away, and people had to walk there to buy things, which took more than two hours. “At that time, the only dream of most people was to have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear,” Grandma said. “I never thought life could be so good in the future.” When we drove into the village, I couldn’t believe my eyes. The muddy roads had been replaced by wide, clean paved roads, with street lamps on both sides. Rows of new two-floor houses stood along the roads, with beautiful gardens in front of the doors. Every family had TVs, fridges and cars. There was a big square in the centre of the village, with a fitness area, a library and a community hospital. Grandma met her old friends in the square. They told us that the village had developed a special vegetable planting industry in recent years. Villagers sell their vegetables to big cities through the internet, and many young people have come back to the village to start their own businesses. The government has also helped build new schools and improve the living environment. We stayed in the village for three days. Grandma walked around the village every day with a big smile on her face. She said she was so happy to see the great changes in her hometown. That trip taught me a lot. I saw with my own eyes how the life of Chinese villagers has improved over the years. The changes are not just in the houses and roads, but also in people’s minds. They are full of hope for the future, and they are working hard to make their hometown better. 1．What was Grandma’s hometown like when she was a little girl? A．It was a rich village with wide paved roads. B．It was a poor village with muddy roads and old houses. C．It was a modern village with many cars and new houses. D．It was a famous tourist village with many visitors every year. 2．Why have many young people come back to the village? A．Because they can start their own businesses through the vegetable planting industry. B．Because the village has become a famous tourist attraction. C．Because they don’t want to work in big cities any more. D．Because the government gives them money to come back. 3．What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean? A．The changes in the village have made people richer, but they are not happy. B．The most important change is that people have become more hopeful and hard-working. C．The changes in people’s minds are not as important as the changes in roads and houses. D．The village has changed a lot, but people’s minds are still the same as before. 4．What can we learn from the writer’s trip? A．The writer’s grandma has never left her hometown. B．The villagers still live a very poor life now. C．The writer doesn’t like the changes in the village. D．The development of the village comes from the government’s support and people’s hard work. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者通过和奶奶一起回乡的见闻，对比了奶奶家乡过去贫穷落后的面貌与如今现代化、充满活力的新貌，展现了农村在产业发展、政府支持和村民努力下发生的巨大变迁。 1．第二段第二、三句指出“the village was very poor. There were only muddy roads...Most families lived in old thatched cottages”，这直接说明奶奶小时候的家乡是一个道路泥泞、房屋破旧的贫穷村庄。 2．第五段指出“the village had developed a special vegetable planting industry...many young people have come back to the village to start their own businesses”，这直接说明年轻人返乡是因为可以通过蔬菜种植产业创业。 3．最后一段第三句指出“The changes are not just in the houses and roads, but also in people’s minds”，结合后文“They are full of hope for the future, and they are working hard”可知，划线句强调最重要的变化是人们变得更有希望且更努力。 4．全文描述了村庄在道路、房屋、产业等方面的变化，第四段提到“The government has also helped...”，最后一段提到“they are working hard...”。综合可知，村庄的发展源于政府支持和人们的辛勤努力。 话题2 景观景点 Passage 1 （25-26八年级下·江苏泰州·月考）Visit the Ancient city of Pingyao Located in central Shanxi Province, the Ancient City of Pingyao was first built in the Western Zhou Dynasty and further expanded in the Ming Dynasty.

Built in 1823, Rishengchang Draft Bank (票号), China’s first bank-like organization, is located on West Street in the Ancient City of Pingyao. The shop kept running for over 100 years. The business had expanded to Europe, the US and many Southeast Asian countries. It is regarded as a pioneer of China’s banking history. Today, the former “bank” has become a museum where visitors can learn about China’s banking history. The ancient city walls of Pingyao are about 12 meters high and more than 6 kilometers long. In the past, these walls were built to protect the city from enemies. They are also surrounded by a 4-meter-wide and 4-meter-deep moat (护城河) just outside the walls. The ancient city walls are among the best-preserved city walls in China. If you want to take pictures from the walls, it’s best to go in the afternoon. The view of the old houses at sunset is amazing. South Street, also known as Mingqing Street, is a nationally famous historical and cultural street. At one time, more than 50% of China’s financial institutions (金融机构) were located on this street, giving it the nickname of China’s “Wall Street”. Looking south, the street keeps its traditional design. It is lined with towering houses and 78 time-honored shops. Some of the ancient buildings are over a century old.

The lantern parade dances in the moonlight, like fish, chasing the moon reflected in the water. In the crowd, Wang Lijun, a 27-year-old villager who serves as the “head fish”, leads the parade of lanterns. Sometimes she cheers on the team behind her. Traditionally, respected elders held the position of “head fish”, but in recent years, younger players returning to their hometown have taken on the role as volunteers. “It has become an emotional connection. Such an energetic custom has attracted more young villagers like me back home, and also young tourists flooding in to experience this traditional Chinese culture,” Wang said. Every year, villagers in Wangmantian hold fish-shaped lantern parades during the Spring Festival. The mountain village often faced the risk of fires in old times. ▲Over time, such a tradition has developed into a wish for good health and wealth. With a history of over 600 years, the fish-shaped lantern was recognized as a provincial-level intangible cultural heritage (非遗) in 2022. Through social media, more than 100,000 visitors from across the country came to Shexian County to experience the parades during the Spring Festival from February 10th to February 17th in 2025. While protecting the intangible cultural heritage, local people have made efforts on business forms related to the fish-shaped lantern. Total sales of fish-shaped lanterns and related products rose to about 1.15 million yuan ($159,700) during the 2025 Spring Festival. Wang Huawu, a 41-year-old craftsman of fish-shaped lanterns, said that since 2023, his workshop has been “filled with orders” and has received nearly 100,000 yuan worth of orders from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong. As fish-shaped lanterns continue to benefit local tourism and related industries, the future looks brighter than ever. 1．Which sentence can be put in“ ▲ ”? A．Besides, the fish-shaped lanterns are usually made of colorful paper and bamboo. B．Therefore, this custom started centuries ago to avoid accidents during the festival. C．However, the lantern parades were called off in some years because of bad weather. D．So villagers used to parade with fish-shaped lanterns, wishing “water overcoming fire”. 2．How does the writer show the development of the fish lantern industry in Paragraph 4? A．By listing numbers. B．By telling a story. C．By asking a question. D．By showing the reason. 3．Which of the following does the writer probably agree with? A．The fish lanterns light up a way to the future for the local people. B．The fish lantern parades can protect the village from the risk of fires. C．The fish lanterns only carry cultural meaning of the intangible heritage. D．Tourists flooding to the village may break the balance of the environment. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国安徽汪满田村的鱼形灯笼游行这一省级非物质文化遗产，讲述了该习俗的起源、传承发展，以及其带动当地文旅与相关产业的情况，展现了非遗文化的传承活力与光明前景。 1．第三段第二句指出“The mountain village often faced the risk of fires in old times.”，第三段第四句说明：“Over time, such a tradition has developed into a wish for good health and wealth.”，空处需衔接前文火灾风险的背景与后文传统演变的逻辑。选项D“So villagers used to parade with fish-shaped lanterns, wishing ‘water overcoming fire’.” 契合中国传统民俗“水克火”的防火逻辑，完美承接上下文，为唯一正确答案；选项B用“accidents”泛指，未精准对应“fires”，且与后文无逻辑递进，不符合语境。 2．第四段第二句提到“Total sales of fish-shaped lanterns and related products rose to about 1.15 million yuan ($159,700) during the 2025 Spring Festival.”，第四段第三句提到：“has received nearly 100,000 yuan worth of orders from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong.”，作者通过列举具体数字的方式，展现鱼灯产业的发展。 3．第五段明确说明“As fish-shaped lanterns continue to benefit local tourism and related industries, the future looks brighter than ever. ”，这直接表明鱼灯为当地带来了发展机遇，照亮了当地人的未来，对应A选项。 话题3 线上旅行 Passage 1 （25-26八年级下·全国·单元测试） “I just played a live—action role—playing (LARP) game in the Miao village. In the game, I experienced the culture of the Miao people. It was so fun, ” said a woman visitor. She was visiting the Miao village, which is a famous place of interest in Southwest China’s Guizhou Province. The game shows the old and traditional Miao stories through modern technologies. The village has built a 5G platform. It provides different kinds of services. For example, on the platform, tourists can check the real—time map of the village.

Our teacher showed us a photo of the Mona Lisa, and told us a lot of stories about the famous museum in Paris. I was very interested in it, but I never thought I could visit it one day, because my family could not afford a trip to France. Last year, our art teacher told us that the Louvre Museum had a free online tour on its official website. I was so excited that I ran home after school and turned on my computer right away. I found the online tour page easily, and started my amazing trip. The online tour was perfect. I could “walk” through every hall of the museum freely, just like I was there in person. I could zoom in on every painting and sculpture to see the smallest details, which I could never do in a real museum with crowds of people. There were also clear English introductions for every artwork, so I could learn about the history and stories behind them. I spent over 3 hours in the online tour, and I even forgot to have dinner. I saw the Mona Lisa, of course. Through the screen, I could see the smile on her face clearly. I also saw the famous sculpture Venus de Milo, and many other great works of art. I took a lot of screenshots of my favourite artworks, and put them in my art notebook. That online tour not only let me see the amazing artworks in the Louvre, but also opened a new world for me. I learnt that the Internet can help us achieve our dreams, even if we can not travel far away. Now, I often take online tours of different museums around the world in my free time. Every online tour is a new adventure, and I can always learn something new. 1．Why did the writer never think she could visit the Louvre Museum at first? A．Because she was not interested in art at all. B．Because her family could not afford the trip to France. C．Because she was too young to travel abroad alone. D．Because the museum was not open to foreign visitors. 2．What did the writer do during her online tour of the Louvre? A．She talked with the tour guide in Paris through live video. B．She took a lot of photos of the museum with her camera. C．She zoomed in on the artworks to see the details clearly.

A．The online tour made the writer realize the internet can help make dreams come true. B．The writer has decided to travel to France to visit the Louvre in person. C．The writer only learnt about art from the online tour. D．The online tour was not as good as the real trip to the museum. 4．What can we learn from the writer’s story? A．Online tours are always better than on-site trips. B．We can learn new things and achieve dreams through the internet. C．It is impossible to learn about art through a computer screen. D．Only rich people can visit famous museums around the world. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者通过网络参观卢浮宫博物馆的经历。   1．根据第一段“I was very interested in it, but I never thought I could visit it one day, because my family could not afford a trip to France.”可知，作者一开始从未想过参观卢浮宫博物馆，是因为她的家人负担不起去法国的旅行。 2．根据第三段“I could zoom in on every painting and sculpture to see the smallest details, which I could never do in a real museum with crowds of people.”可知，在网上参观卢浮宫时把艺术品放大，以便清楚地看到细节。 3．根据最后一段“That online tour not only let me see the amazing artworks in the Louvre, but also opened a new world for me. I learnt that the Internet can help us achieve our dreams, even if we can not travel far away.”“Every online tour is a new adventure, and I can always learn something new.”可知，网上之旅为作者打开了一个新世界，让她学到新东西。画线句表示这次网上旅行让作者意识到互联网可以帮助实现梦想。 4．本文主要介绍了作者通过网络参观卢浮宫博物馆的经历，结合最后一段“I learnt that the Internet can help us achieve our dreams, even if we can not travel far away.”“Every online tour is a new adventure, and I can always learn something new.”可知，我们可以通过互联网学习新事物，实现梦想。 Passage 3 （25-26八年级下·江苏南京·月考）Many tourism platforms (平台) in China have used AI technologies, while some provinces and cities have designed their own AI tourism service platforms with special features. On some popular tourism platforms, tourists can give simple instructions, such as asking about must-visit attractions for a three-day trip to Shanghai. AI usually gives helpful answers within minutes. Mr Liang, CEO of a travel company, said, “AI solves 80% of users’ questions in minutes, cutting trip-planning time from 9 hours to 6.6 hours.” Guizhou and Shanghai have introduced AI assistants (助手) for travellers. Guizhou’s “Huang Xiao Xi”, a digital guide in traditional clothing, creates travel plans in just a few seconds. “Hu Xiao You”, a smart tourism system used in Shanghai, provides real-time updates on traffic at tourist sites, public transport, nearby shops, and even toilet locations. Museums are also using AI. Wearable smart guides provide guiding tours at a lower cost than human guides. They also allow visitors to change the speed of introductions according to their own choice. With new tools like virtual reality (VR，虚拟现实), augmented reality (AR，增强现实), and three-D technology, users can “talk” to historical figures (人物), “communicate” with cultural relics, and watch ancient paintings come to life. These high-tech methods break down the distance between visitors and cultural heritage, making ancient history easier to understand and remember. Gan Chunhui, a researcher in Shanghai, believes AI brings new ways of working in tourism. “Instead of taking the place of traditional jobs, China makes use of technology to breathe new life into these roles,” Gan said. “For tourists, this means more personalized and convenient trips that deepen their understanding of Chinese culture. For local communities, AI helps keep valuable heritage alive without changing the natural beauty of historical sites.” 1．How does Paragraph 3 support its main idea? A．By giving examples of AI tools. B．By showing different opinions. C．By discussing difficulties we meet. D．By discussing tourism in different times. 2．What can be inferred about AI in museums from the article? A．It makes visiting more expensive. B．It works faster than human guides. C．It provides lively visiting experiences. D．It shows more pictures than real objects. 3．What is Gan Chunhui’s opinion about AI in tourism? A．AI will finally take the place of traditional jobs. B．AI is not helpful for protecting cultural heritage. C．The tourism industry depends too much on AI technology. D．AI brings positive effects to both tourists and local communities. 4．What would be the best title for this passage? A．AI Makes Tourism Smarter in China B．The Rise of Online Travel Companies C．Planning a Perfect Trip to Shanghai D．Why Traditional Tourism Is Dying 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了人工智能技术在中国旅游业的应用：从旅游平台AI咨询、AI助手，到博物馆的AI导览与VR/AR 技术，再到专家对AI赋能旅游业的观点，展现了AI为游客和本地社区带来的积极影响。 1．第3段的主旨是“博物馆也在使用AI”，段落中列举了描述贵州、上海AI旅游助手的例子，来支撑“AI 在博物馆的应用”这一观点。 2．根据第4段内容：原文提到“users can ‘talk’ to historical figures, ‘communicate’ with cultural relics, and watch ancient paintings come to life”，说明AI为游客提供了更生动的游览体验。 3．根据第5段甘春辉的观点：原文提到“For tourists, this means more personalized and convenient trips... For local communities, AI helps keep valuable heritage alive...”，说明AI对游客和本地社区都带来了积极影响。 4．全文围绕“AI 技术在中国旅游业的应用与优势”展开，核心是AI让中国旅游业更智能。 Passage 4 （25-26八年级下·江苏宿迁·月考）Online Travel: Good or Bad? Nowadays, more and more people choose to travel online. With the help of technology, we can visit famous places without leaving home. But is online travel really good? Online travel has many advantages. First, it saves money. You don’t need to pay for transport or hotels. Second, it saves time. You can visit many places in a short time. Third, it is safe. You don’t need to worry about accidents or bad weather. However, online travel also has disadvantages. You cannot feel the real atmosphere. You cannot taste local food or talk to local people. The experience is not as rich as real travel. In my opinion, online travel is a good supplement to real travel. It can help us plan our trips and learn about places before we visit. But it cannot replace (代替) real travel completely. We should try to visit places in person when possible. Both online and real travel have their value. The key is to use them wisely. Technology should help us, not control us. 1．What can’t you do in online travel? A．See pictures. B．Watch videos. C．Taste local food.

It can help us plan our trips and learn about places before we visit. But it cannot replace real travel completely.”指出，线上旅行能为真实旅行提供助力但无法替代，所以supplement的意思是“补充、附加物”。 3．文章第四段第一句“In my opinion, online travel is a good supplement to real travel.”指出，作者认为网上旅行是真实旅行的一个很好的补充。 4．文章分析了线上旅行的优势与劣势，表达了线上旅行是线下真实旅行的良好补充、二者各有价值且应合理利用的观点。因此文章的主旨是网上旅行和真实旅行都有其存在的价值。 Passage 5 （24-25八年级下·天津河西·期中）The number of users of the Travel in Shanxi app passed 500,000 on Aug. 3rd.

Marmee must have a new pair.” “I thought I’d get her some with my dollar, ” said Beth. “No, I shall!” cried Amy. “I’m the oldest, ” began Meg, but Jo cut in— “I’m the man of the family as Papa is away, and I shall provide the slippers, for he told me to take special care of Mother while he was gone.” “I’ll tell you what we’ll do,” said Beth. “Let’s each get her something for Christmas, and not get anything for ourselves.” “That’s like you, dear! What will we get?” exclaimed Jo. Everyone thought for a minute. Then Meg announced (宣布), “I shall give her a nice pair of gloves.” “And shoes, best to be had,” cried Jo. “Some pretty handkerchiefs (手帕),” said Beth. “I’ll get a little bottle of cologne (香水). She likes it, and it won’t cost much, so I’ll have some left to buy my pencils,” added Amy. “How will we give the things?” asked Meg. “Put them on the table, and bring her in and see her open them. Don’t you remember what we used to do on our birthdays?” answered Jo. “Let’s surprise her. We must go shopping tomorrow afternoon, as there is so much to do,” said Jo, marching up and down, with her hands behind her back and her nose in the air. “Glad to find you so merry, my girls,” said a cheery voice at the door, and all girls turned to welcome a tall, motherly lady, with a “can I help you” look about her which was truly happy. She was not beautifully dressed, but a noble-looking (高贵的) woman, and the girls thought the gray and unfashionable clothes covered the most splendid mother in the world. “Well, dearies, how have you got on today?

This novel shows us the growth process of children. Let’s read the first part of it together now. On the 12th of August, I was awakened at seven o’clock in the morning by Karl Ivanitch. He slapped (拍打) the fly on the wall close to my head with a fly-flap (苍蝇拍) made of sugar paper and a stick. He was too careless and he hit the picture behind my bed. Unluckily, the dead fly fell down on my hair. I flicked (弹) the dead fly on the floor with my finger. I looked at Karl Ivanitch with sleepy, wrathful eyes. He wore a cotton coat and a red hat. He went on walking around the wall and slapping flies. I thought to myself, “I am just a small boy. Why did he trouble me? Why didn’t he go killing flies around Woloda’s bed? No! Woloda is older than me. And I am the youngest of the family. He woke me up, but he pretended not to notice it. I don’t like him. I don’t like his clothes and hat.” But while I was thinking about this, Karl Ivanitch walked to his bed and looked at his watch. Then he turned around to us in the most cheerful mood. “Get up, children! Your mother is already in the dining room,” said loudly. Then he sat down at my feet. “Well, well, little lazy one!” he said with a smile. “How kind he is, and how much he likes us!” I thought to myself... 1．What made the boy wake up?

He slapped (拍打) the fly on the wall close to my head with a fly-flap (苍蝇拍) made of sugar paper and a stick.”可知，是伊万尼奇拍打墙上的苍蝇把男孩吵醒了。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据第二段“I flicked (弹) the dead fly on the floor with my finger. I looked at Karl Ivanitch with sleepy, wrathful eyes. He wore a cotton coat and a red hat. He went on walking around the wall and slapping flies.”可知，男孩被吵醒，死苍蝇还掉到他头发上，他用手指把死苍蝇弹到地板上，然后用“sleepy, wrathful eyes”看着伊万尼奇。根据情境，被打扰睡觉肯定是不高兴的，所以“wrathful”意思接近“Angry”，故选C。 3．主旨大意题。根据第三段“Why did he trouble me?

Your mother is already in the dining room,’ said loudly. Then he sat down at my feet. ‘Well, well, little lazy one!’ he said with a smile.”可知妈妈在餐厅，结合常识，早上妈妈在餐厅通常意味着是吃早饭的时间了。故选D。 5．推理判断题。之前男孩还不喜欢伊万尼奇，但是当伊万尼奇说“Get up, children! Your mother is already in the dining room,”然后又笑着说“Well, well, little lazy one!”之后，男孩心里想“How kind he is, and how much he likes us!”，说明男孩觉得伊万尼奇很和蔼，所以很可能最后原谅了伊万尼奇并马上起床。故选C。 Passage 3 （24-25八年级下·江苏扬州·期中）A large rosebush stood near the entrance of the garden. The roses were white. Three gardeners were busy painting them red. Alice thought this was a curious thing and moved in closer to watch them. Alice moved a bit closer. “Would you please tell me why you are painting those roses red?” Five and Seven said nothing but looked at Two. Two spoke at once, “The fact is that this should have been a red rose tree. We put in a white one by mistake. If the Queen finds out, she’ll have our heads cut off. We’re doing our best to fix it.” Five started to shout, “The Queen! The Queen is coming!” Alice looked around, eager to see the Queen. First came ten soldiers carrying clubs. These were all shaped like the gardeners. Next, ten diamond couriers marched in two by two. The royal children, ten of them covered in hearts, followed holding hands and jumping along. Next came the guests. Many of them were kings and queens. The White Rabbit followed behind. He looked nervous as he smiled at everyone. The next to appear was the Knave of Hearts carrying the King’s crown on a velvet cushion. The last to join the grand procession (列队) were the King and Queen of Hearts. The Queen looked at Alice. “What’s your name?” “My name is Alice,” Alice replied. Then she said to herself, “They’re only a pack of cards, after all. I needn’t be afraid of them.” The Queen walked toward the trees. She became quite angry when she saw white, not red, roses. “Off with the gardeners’ heads at once” She continued the procession leaving three soldiers behind to take care of the gardeners.

The morning sun shone on the sea, and a cool wind carried the taste of salt and success. “After ten long years, they’ve finally given up!” the captain said, raising his sword (剑) high. The Trojans below cheered and jumped, “We’ve won! The Greeks are gone!” Just then, an old soldier (士兵) named Hector narrowed his eyes and pointed towards the beach. “Captain, look! They left something behind—a giant wooden horse!” The captain laughed, “Those foolish Greeks! They built it but couldn’t even take it home!” He turned to his soldiers. “Bring it inside! Let it stand in our city as a symbol of our success!” Some of the soldiers were not sure, “what if it’s a trick? The Greeks are cunning (狡猾的).” The captain shouted, “Shut up! After ten years of fighting, they’ve failed. This horse is our prize!” He asked Trojans to pull the giant horse through the gates with ropes. That night, the city held a big celebration. Torches lit up the square as people danced and sang around the wooden horse. “To the stupid Greeks!” a drunk soldier sang and raised his cup. “They spent years building this horse, only to leave it behind! I haven’t laughed like this since my childhood!” the captain laughed and said. As the party died down, the Trojans locked all the gates of the city and then all went to sleep. At midnight, the square fell into silence. A hidden door on the horse’s belly (腹部) suddenly opened, and a Greek soldier came out. Then armed Greek soldiers went out one by one, they moved quickly and quietly in the darkness. Within minutes, the Greeks unlocked the gates, flooding the city. Early in the morning, Troy was in big fire. The Greeks, who had failed for ten years, had won with a single trick. The captain’s joy turned to fear as he finally got to know: the horse was never a gift—it was a trap, and the “gift” had destroyed (摧毁) them. 1．Why did the Trojans bring the wooden horse into the city? A．Because the Greeks asked them to keep it safe. B．Because they believed it was a gift from the gods. C．Because they wanted to burn it to celebrate success. D．Because they thought it was a prize of their success. 2．How did the Greeks finally won after 10 years? A．By attacking the city with a stronger army. B．By hiding soldiers inside the wooden horse.

They built it but couldn’t even take it home!’ He turned to his soldiers. ‘Bring it inside! Let it stand in our city as a symbol of our success!’”以及“The captain shouted, ‘Shut up! After ten years of fighting, they’ve failed. This horse is our prize!’ He asked Trojans to pull the giant horse through the gates with ropes.”可知，特洛伊人认为这是他们成功的奖品，所以把木马带进了城。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“At midnight, the square fell into silence. A hidden door on the horse’s belly (腹部) suddenly opened, and a Greek soldier came out. Then armed Greek soldiers went out one by one, they moved quickly and quietly in the darkness. Within minutes, the Greeks unlocked the gates, flooding the city.”可知，希腊人是把士兵藏在木马里，在特洛伊人睡着后从木马里出来打开城门，最终获胜。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“That night, the city held a big celebration. Torches lit up the square as people danced and sang around the wooden horse. ‘To the stupid Greeks!’ a drunk soldier sang and raised his cup.”可知，在庆祝活动中，特洛伊人唱歌、跳舞并且嘲笑希腊人。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据全文可知，特洛伊人因为相信了希腊人留下的木马是礼物，没有怀疑这是陷阱，最终导致城市被摧毁。这个故事告诉我们永远不要相信敌人。故选A。 Passage 5 （23-24八年级下·江苏盐城·期中）Gulliver enjoyed travelling.
