Have you ever heard of'raising lobster ()"recently?The "lobster"is not the dish you'd find on the dining table.It's a new AI tool called OpenClaw,using a red lobster as its icon.In China,many people have set up this AI tool on their computers,which they Openclaw jokingly call "raising lobster". What makes this AI tool special?Compared with other good AI tools,the"AI lobster"is cheaper and easier to use.For a while now,we've had AI tools like ChatGPT.They can talk with you and advise you on what to do,but they only"answer"when you "ask",and can't do it for you.OpenClaw,on the other hand,is designed to do the work itself For example.it can check your emails and send messages through apps.It helps people finish daily work faster and more casily.OpenClaw also has a long"memory".Over time,it leams what you like,remembers your habits and follows your ongoing projects. However,using this'obster"comes with big risks.To work properly.OpenClaw needs a lot of power on your computer or phone.This means it can see your personal information.In February,researchers found that some important information from OpenClaw had been put online without telling the users.Hackers ( could use this data to control users'computers.You should not save any personal information on a public corputer.When you have to step away from the computer for a while,make sure to close all the windows. While the idea of an AI helper is exciting.keeping our personal information safe is much more important. 48.What can OpenClaw do that other AI tools cannot? A.Talk with people. B.Give people advice. C.Finish work by itself. D.Answer people's questions. 49.How does the writer show OpenClaw is spocial in Paragraph 3? A.By telling stories. B.By listing numbers. C.By asking questions. D.By giving examples. 50.What should we do to protect our personal information? A.Save our information on the websites. B.Keep our computers on when we leave. C.Let OpenClaw keep our information online. D.Be careful about leaving information online. 51.What's the best title for the passage? A.ChatGPT and OpenClaw B.A Useful but Risky AI Tool C.How to Use OpenClaw safely D.The Development of AI Tools D With cushions on the floor,jammy fingerprints on the fumiture and toys everywhere,our Indian uncle's house was in a complete mess.Looking around the messy room,our uncle seemed unhappy and said,"Jam should be in the right place.For example,it should be on the bread which makes it taste nice.It couldn't be everywhere,even on the floor.Children are just like jam."

But as we sat there,a quiet thought came:Maybe they had a point.If we had asked first,none of this would have happened. When we were alone and talked it over,we saw the real wrong.It was not the mess.It was that we had never asked permission ()We had just taken up the whole house as if it belonged only to us."Next time." we said,we will ask first."And we felt better,because we had leamed something we would not forget. -Adapted from The Wouldbegoodls 52.What did the Indian uncle mean by"children are like jam"?

They did this to remember soldiers who died in 1949 to set the city free. It has been 31 years since this tradition began in 1995. And it has encouraged more than 30,000 students. The journey begins before the sun comes up. They walk through mountain paths to Renshanhe Martyrs’ Cemetery. The walk is not easy, but nobody gives up. Over the years, the walk has become a national model for education. Students believe the walk taught them to be strong and work as a team. Teachers say it helps students understand the price of peace better than textbooks ever could. This tradition shows that education is not just about books — it’s about feeling history with your feet and heart. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $2025至2026学年度第二学期期中考试八年级英语听力部分。第一部分听对话回答问题。本部分共有十道小题，每小题你将听到一段对话，每段对话读两遍。在听每段对话前，你将有5秒钟的时间阅读题目，听完后你将有5秒钟的时间从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。在听到D的信号后进入下一小题。One, excuse me, can you tell me how to get to the railway station?

What is the Yangtze River like to a teenager? We’ve got three special stories right here. Let’s jump in! Gao Xinyi, 15, Jiangsu The Yangtze River is a treasure box filled with my sweet childhood memories. They all start with the afternoons I spent at the riverbank with my friends. The setting sun painted the sky orange and red, and the surface of the water took on a warm colour. The gentle wind brushed against my face and swept away my tiredness, bringing me both joy and peace. Taste is a magical thing. I grew up with the taste of Yangtze River water on my tongue. It has a special taste in every cup of tea and bowl of soup. As a child, I never cared much about it. But when I left home and drank water in other places, the taste changed. I missed the water from the Yangtze River. This is what home really means. It’s not just a place marked on a map. It’s in the water we drink, in the air we breathe and in learning to move with the river’s flow. Fang Yitong, 13, Hubei Liu Yu, 16, Hebei In the summer of 2019, I went to Nanjing for skating training. When I was practicing at a rink (冰场) there, one of the local skaters asked me, “Are you getting used to this ice? It’s made with water from the Yangtze River!” I stopped for a second and replied, “The rink back in Shijiazhuang is the same! Our city has benefited (受益) a lot from the South-to-North Water Diversion (南水北调) Project!” The ice under my feet felt strangely warm. My jumps and spins were much smoother than before. 44. What does the Yangtze River bring Gao Xinyi? A. Tiredness but joy. B. Warmth and surprise. C. Peace but loneliness. D. Calm and happiness. 45. What makes the Yangtze River taste special to Fang Yitong? A. The magic of water. B. The feel of home. C. The way of cooking. D. The flow of river. 46. Which picture describes the South-to-North Water Diversion Project? A. B. C. D. 47. What do the three passages have in common? A. The same ice from a faraway city. B. The special taste of Yangtze River water. C. Sweet memories at the riverbank. D. Personal connection to the Yangtze River. C Have you ever heard of “raising lobster (龙虾)” recently? The “lobster” is not the dish you’d find on the dining table. It’s a new AI tool called OpenClaw, using a red lobster as its icon. In China, many people have set up this AI tool on their computers, which they jokingly call “raising lobster”. What makes this AI tool special? Compared with other good AI tools, the “AI lobster” is cheaper and easier to use. For a while now, we’ve had AI tools like ChatGPT. They can talk with you and advise you on what to do, but they only “answer” when you “ask”, and can’t do it for you. OpenClaw, on the other hand, is designed to do the work itself . For example, it can check your emails and send messages through apps. It helps people finish daily work faster and more easily. OpenClaw also has a long “memory”. Over time, it learns what you like, remembers your habits and follows your ongoing projects. However, using this “lobster” comes with big risks. To work properly, OpenClaw needs a lot of power on your computer or phone. This means it can see your personal information. In February, researchers found that some important information from OpenClaw had been put online without telling the users. Hackers (黑客) could use this data to control users’ computers. You should not save any personal information on a public computer. When you have to step away from the computer for a while, make sure to close all the windows. While the idea of an AI helper is exciting, keeping our personal information safe is much more important. 48. What can OpenClaw do that other AI tools cannot? A. Talk with people. B. Give people advice. C. Finish work by itself. D. Answer people’s questions. 49. How does the writer show OpenClaw is special in Paragraph 3? A. By telling stories. B. By listing numbers. C. By asking questions. D. By giving examples. 50. What should we do to protect our personal information? A. Save our information on the websites. B. Keep our computers on when we leave. C. Let OpenClaw keep our information online. D. Be careful about leaving information online. 51. What’s the best title for the passage? A. ChatGPT and OpenClaw B. A Useful but Risky AI Tool C. How to Use OpenClaw safely D. The Development of AI Tools D With cushions on the floor, jammy fingerprints on the furniture and toys everywhere, our Indian uncle’s house was in a complete mess. Looking around the messy room, our uncle seemed unhappy and said, “Jam should be in the right place. For example, it should be on the bread which makes it taste nice. It couldn’t be everywhere, even on the floor. Children are just like jam.” My father said, “Perhaps they had better go to boarding-school.” That was awful, because Father dislikes boarding-schools (寄宿学校). And he looked at us and said, “ I am ashamed (羞愧) of them, sir!” Your situation is truly dark and terrible when your father is ashamed of you. We felt in our chests as if we had swallowed (吞) a hard-boiled (煮熟的) egg whole. But inside, a small voice cried, “It’s not fair! We didn’t mean to!” Then we went away. The girls cried, and we boys got out books and started to read, so that nobody would think we cared. But we felt it deeply, especially Oswald, the oldest child of the family. We felt it even more because we had not really meant to do anything wrong. We had been playing a game that left the house in a great mess, but we were going to clean it all up. We always did. It just wasn’t finished yet. We meant to put everything back before anyone found out. So why were we being treated like that? But as we sat there, a quiet thought came: Maybe they had a point. If we had asked first, none of this would have happened. When we were alone and talked it over, we saw the real wrong. It was not the mess. It was that we had never asked permission (许可). We had just taken up the whole house as if it belonged only to us. “Next time,” we said, “we will ask first.” And we felt better, because we had learned something we would not forget. —Adapted from The Wouldbegoods 52. What did the Indian uncle mean by “children are like jam”? A. Children are as sweet as the jam. B. Children should act rightly. C. Children couldn’t be on the floor. D. Children know the jam well. 53. How did the children feel when hearing their father’s words? A. Tired and helpless. B. Relaxed and calm. C. Sad and uncomfortable. D. Hopeful and touched. 54. Which is the correct order of the story’s development ? ① “We played a game.” ② “We made Father angry.” ③ “We realized we did wrong.” ④ “We made the house in a mess.” A. ①③②④ B. ④②①③ C. ①④②③ D. ③②①④ 55. What had the children probably learned in the end? A. They will not play with the jam. B. They shouldn’t play games next time. C. Their father should understand them. D. They can do it only after they’re allowed to. （二）阅读下面短文，从所给选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺，结构完整，其中有一项是多余选项。（共5小题，每小题1分，计5分） If you take a trip to Fengjie in Chongqing, you will be amazed by the beautiful navel orange orchards (脐橙果园) in the mountains. 56. ________ ♣ An old coal city. 57. ________ It had many coal mines (煤矿), which caused serious water and air pollution.
