We must be 1 about our strengths, weaknesses, interests and values. This can be achieved by taking some time to think. 2 we know ourselves better, we can start setting our goals or targets. The 3 should be realistic and specific (具体的). For example, if we want to improve our English level, our goal could be to read at least five English articles a day. Setting goals, obviously is not enough. We need to take steps to 4 them. We can practise new skills in our areas of expertise, read more books about 5 we are interested in or ask for help from others during the process. Along the way, we are likely to meet challenges. 6 getting upset and concerned, we should think of them as chances to learn and grow. We must keep in mind that the path to self-growth is not always 7 , but every step we take brings us closer to it . Mental health is one issue we must 8 during the process of self-growth. We should learn to deal with negative emotions (负面情绪) and 9 good relationships with others around us. Sharing our feelings and experiences with someone we 10 can be very helpful. In a word, self-growth is a long journey filled with growth and progress in learning. It is about becoming the best version of ourselves so that we can lead a satisfied life. 1．A．good B．clear C．better D．know 2．A．Once B．Even C．Although D．Before 3．A．rules B．goals C．laws D．policies 4．A．organize B．judge C．achieve D．explore 5．A．that B．which C．what D．whose 6．A．Instead of B．Because of C．Except D．Besides 7．A．wide B．tidy C．modern D．smooth 8．A．care about B．stay away C．give in D．search for 9．A．express B．build C．separate D．mention 10．A．train B．praise C．trust D．hate 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．C 6．A 7．D 8．A 9．B 10．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，讨论了自我成长的重要性及其实现路径。文章从自我反思、设定目标、采取行动、应对挑战以及关注心理健康等方面，阐述了如何通过不断学习和调整，成为更好的自己。 1． 句意： 我们必须清楚自己的优势、劣势、兴趣和价值观。 根据上文“The first step to self-growth is self-reflection”可知，自我反思的目的是了解自己，因此应清楚认识自己的各个方面，clear（清楚的）符合语义。 2．句意： 一旦我们更好地了解了自己，我们就可以开始设定目标。 上文讲了解自己，下文讲设定目标，两者之间为条件关系，Once（一旦）符合逻辑。 3．句意： 目标应该是现实且具体的。 上文提到“start setting our goals or targets”，此处继续讨论目标应具备的特点，因此应选goals（目标）。 4．句意： 我们需要采取措施来实现它们。 上文提到设定目标不够，下文说需要采取步骤，因此应选achieve（实现），achieve goals为固定搭配。 5．句意： 在这个过程中，我们可以练习自己专业领域的新技能，阅读更多自己感兴趣的书籍，或者向别人寻求帮助。 此处考查宾语从句引导词，从句中“we are interested in”缺少宾语，意为“你感兴趣的（东西）”，因此用what引导。 6．句意： 而不是感到沮丧和焦虑，我们应该把它们看作是学习和成长的机会。 下文说“把它们看作机会”，与上文“感到沮丧”形成对比，表示转折，Instead of（而不是）符合语义。 7．句意： 我们必须记住，自我成长的道路并不总是平坦的，但我们迈出的每一步都让我们更接近它。 上文提到“likely to meet challenges”，下文说“但我们迈出的每一步都让我们更接近它”，前后形成转折，说明道路不总是顺利的，smooth（平坦的）符合语境。 8．句意： 心理健康是我们在自我成长过程中必须关注的一个问题。 下文提到“我们应该学会处理消极情绪”，说明心理健康是需要重视的问题，care about（关注）符合语义。 9．句意： 我们应该学会处理负面情绪并与周围的人建立良好的关系。 上文提到“处理消极情绪”，下文说“与周围的人……良好的关系”，build relationships为固定搭配，意为“建立关系”。 10．句意： 与我们信任的人分享感受和经历会很有帮助。 分享感受和经历需要建立在信任基础上，trust（信任）符合语义。 2． 阅读理解（每小题2分，共40分） A Making choices is an important part of life. Every day, we make many small choices, like what to eat or what to wear. Sometimes, we have to make big choices, and they can change our life. When we make a choice, we often hope it is the best one. But sometimes, we may regret it later. We may think, “If only I could choose again!” However, life seldom gives us second chances. A wise man once said, “Think twice before you make a choice.” When we face a choice, we should think carefully. We should consider what is good for us and what is not. We should also think about the result of our choice. No matter what choice we make, we should be responsible for it. We cannot go back and change it. So, make every choice wisely. 11．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How to make small choices. B．Choices are important in life. C．We can always choose again.

What will you choose? Here are three choices.   When Swizel’s, a candy company, makes a new sweet, it will send the sweet to Harry’s house.

He lives by himself on the island and writes blogs every day. Many people start to show great interest in visiting this island after reading his blogs. The local government is happy and pays Ben $111,000 for six months’ work.   Usuatly, sleeping on the job is a big problem! But Roisin,from UK, is paid $1,000 every month to do that. A company lets Roisin test whether their beds are comfortable to sleep in. Roisin spends up to eight hours a day in a bed and then writes about it. Over 600 people asked for the job, but they didn’t get it! 16．What can we learn about Harpy? A．He likes his job. B．He gets much money. C．He is the youngest worker.

Many people start to show great interest in visiting this island after reading his blogs”可知，Ben Southall写博客是为了让这个岛更受欢迎，故选D。 18．词义猜测题。根据“Usuatly, sleeping on the job is a big problem! But Roisin, from UK, is paid $1,000 every month to do that”可知在工作中睡觉是一个大问题！但来自英国的Roisin每月为此获得1000美元的报酬，故此处that指代“在工作中睡觉”。故选B。 19．推理判断题。根据“Harry is one of the company’s workers, but he is only 12 years old! He isn’t paid (有报酬) because he’s too young to work for money. But he gets free sweets”“He lives by himself on the island and writes blogs every day. Many people start to show great interest in visiting this island after reading his blogs.”“Usually, sleeping on the job is a big problem! But Roisin, from UK, is paid $1,000 every month to do that.”可知，提到的工作都是特殊而有趣的，故选B。 20．篇章结构题。根据“Here are three that will be on our list!”可知，第一段是总写，后面三段是分写，分别介绍了三种理想的工作，故文章的结构是总分结构。故选C。 C After something bad happens, what do you think of it? Do you like to look at the good side or the bad side? Jerry is a manager (经理) of a restaurant. When he leaves for another restaurant, many workers go with him, too. Because they want to work with Jerry. Jerry is always happy and always has something good to say. If a worker is having a bad day, Jerry is there telling the worker how to look at the good side of things. I ask him, “I don’t understand it! How can you always be a positive person?” Jerry answers, “Each morning I wake up, I say to myself, ‘Jerry, you can choose to be in a good mood (心情) or a bad mood.’ ▲ Each time something bad happens, I choose to learn from it, but not to be sad. Every time someone comes to me in a bad mood, I choose to help him or her see the positive side of life.” “Yeah, right. But it isn’t that easy, is it?” I ask. “Yes, it is,” Jerry says. “It’s up to you. Life is all in your hands. You can choose to be happy or sad. Why not choose a happy life?” 21．Why do many workers go with Jerry? A．Because Jerry is the manager. B．Because they like to work with Jerry. C．Because Jerry asks them to go with him.

D．Time is money. 【答案】21．B 22．C 23．D 24．A 25．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了Jerry总是以积极的态度面对生活，他认为生活掌握在自己手中，可以选择快乐或悲伤。 21．第二段提到“When he leaves for another restaurant, many workers go with him, too. Because they want to work with Jerry”，说明很多工人跟着Jerry是因为他们喜欢和Jerry一起工作。 22．第二段提到“Jerry is always happy and always has something good to say”以及后文Jerry讲述自己总是选择积极面对事情，说明Jerry是积极的。 23．第二段提到“If a worker is having a bad day, Jerry is there telling the worker how to look at the good side of things”，结合全文Jerry的处事态度，他总是建议从不好的事情中学习而不是悲伤，并帮助他人看到积极的一面，因此面对数学成绩不好，他可能会说“没关系，下次再努力”，即“It’s OK. Just try harder next time”。 24．前文提到“Jerry, you can choose to be in a good mood (心情) or a bad mood”，每天早晨醒来可以选择好心情或坏心情，后文说“Each time something bad happens, I choose to learn from it, but not to be sad”，后文全程讲积极看待事情、乐观面对，所以此处应是说选择好心情，即“I choose to be in a good mood”。 25．倒数第二段提到“It’s up to you. Life is all in your hands”，说明作者想告诉我们生活掌握在我们自己手中。 D My Journey of Choosing When I was in Grade 8, I had to choose between joining the school basketball team and the English speech club. I loved both, but I could only choose one because they met at the same time on Friday afternoons. I talked to my parents and teachers. My father said, “Follow your heart, but also think about what will help you more in the future.” My English teacher told me, “The speech club can improve your speaking skills and confidence.” My PE teacher said, “Basketball can teach you teamwork and keep you healthy.” It was a hard choice. I made a list of the good and bad points for each. The basketball team could keep me fit and make me learn to work with others. The speech club could help me speak better in front of people and prepare me for future interviews. In the end, I chose the English speech club. I thought it would be more useful for my studies and future jobs. I worked hard in the club, practiced speaking every week, and even won a prize in a school speech competition. Looking back, I’m happy with my choice. I learned that making a good choice means thinking carefully about what is important to you. It also means being brave to give up one thing to get something better. Now, when I face new choices, I’m not afraid. I know how to think and choose wisely. 26．What choice did the writer face in Grade 8? A．Choosing between two subjects. B．Choosing between two sports. C．Choosing between two clubs. D．Choosing between two books. 27．What did the writer’s father suggest? A．Join the basketball team. B．Follow his heart and think about the future. C．Ask the teachers for help. D．Choose the easier one. 28．Why did the writer finally choose the English speech club? A．Because he didn’t like basketball. B．Because the club met on a different day. C．Because he thought it was more useful for his future. D．Because his best friend was in the club. 29．What did the writer learn from this experience? A．Choices are always easy. B．It’s important to listen to others. C．Making a good choice requires thinking and being brave. D．You should always choose the most popular option. 30．What is the best title for the passage? A．My Favorite Club B．How I Chose a Club C．The Importance of Sports D．My Teachers’ Advice 【答案】26．C 27．B 28．C 29．C 30．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者在八年级时如何理性分析并最终选择加入英语演讲俱乐部的经历。 26．第一段“When I was in Grade 8, I had to choose between joining the school basketball team and the English speech club.”表明，作者面临的是两个俱乐部之间的选择。 27．第二段“My father said, ‘Follow your heart, but also think about what will help you more in the future.’”表明，作者的父亲建议他跟随自己的心并考虑未来。 28．第四段“In the end, I chose the English speech club.

In fact, it’s important to treat yourself kindly. But the question is how to do that. 31 First, accept that nobody is perfect. 32 When you make mistakes, don’t be strict with yourself. Think about how you’ll comfort your friend in the same situation. So why not treat yourself in the same way? 33 Learning new things takes time. If you find a subject difficult, don’t worry about it. Tell yourself that it’s okay to take small steps. Third, take care of your body and mind. 34 Besides physical health, your mind should be cared about. When you feel stressed, take a deep breath or listen to music. These simple actions show that you are kind to yourself. Lastly, encourage yourself with kind words. If you fail an exam or don’t do well in something, don’t lose heart. You can say “I can do this.” or “I’m doing my best.” 35 To tell the truth, being kind to yourself isn’t selfish (自私的). It helps you grow and be happier. When you’re kind to yourself, you can also be a better friend to others. 根据短文内容，将下面的句子还原到文中空白处，使短文内容完整、通顺。（每个选项只能用一次，有一个选项是多余的） A．Your body needs healthy food and enough sleep. B．Second, be patient with yourself. C．Here are four pieces of advice. D．Everyone may make mistakes. E．By saying so, you are showing kindness to yourself. F．Work hard although you may feel tired 【答案】31．C 32．D 33．B 34．A 35．E 【导语】本文主要介绍了如何善待自己的几种方法，包括接受不完美、对自己有耐心、照顾身心以及用善意的话语鼓励自己。 31．前文指出善待自己很重要，但问题是如何做到，后文引出具体建议，C选项“Here are four pieces of advice.”作为总起句，承接前文并引出下文的具体建议。 32．前文指出首先要接受没有人是完美的，后文说明犯错时不要对自己太严格，D选项“Everyone may make mistakes.”进一步解释了没有人是完美的这一观点，与后文关于对待犯错的态度形成逻辑。 33．后文指出学习新事物需要时间，如果觉得某门学科难，不要担心，告诉自己要小步前进，B选项“Second, be patient with yourself.”作为本段主旨句，概括了对自己有耐心的内容，与后文具体解释形成总分关系。 34．前文指出要照顾好自己的身体和心灵，后文说明除了身体健康，心灵也应被关注，A选项“Your body needs healthy food and enough sleep.”具体说明了照顾身体的方式，与后文关于照顾心灵的内容形成并列。 35．前文建议用积极话语鼓励自己，举例说“我能做到”或“我正在尽力”，E选项“By saying so, you are showing kindness to yourself.”总结了积极话语的作用，与前文形成逻辑。 四．选词填空（10分） 阅读短文，从方框中选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空，使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一词，每词限用一次。 able  act  one  little  of  borrow  hardly  reduce  before  speech Last month, a 36 on money management opened Xixi’s eyes.

His 38 step was making a weekly budget and sticking to it. In this way, he could save some money in the piggy bank. Next, he learned to spend 39 than before. 40 buying, he thought twice and asked himself whether he really needed these things. When he did need something, he would try to 41 it from friends instead of buying it. For example, he made good use 42 the school library and borrowed books from it. Third, he found that he spent too much on snacks. So he made up his mind to 43 snack spending step by step. By the third week, he 44 bought any snacks. Instead, he picked up fruit, which was healthier and cheaper. By the end of the month, Xixi had developed a real 45 to manage his money wisely. It wasn’t just about saving coins. It was about making choices.

They were quite poor. On the day before Christmas, Della counted her money and found she only had 1.87 dollars 46 (buy) Jim a present. She tried hard to save for months, but it wasn’t enough. Della thought 47 (hard). There were only two things in the house which were worth 48 (something)—Jim’s gold watch and Della’s own lovely, long hair. Della suddenly put on her coat and went outside. With 49 (tear) in her eyes, she walked down the street to a hairdresser’s and went inside. “Will you buy my hair?” Della asked the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper said she would buy Della’s hair for 20 dollars. Then, Della went 50 (shop). She looked in shops all over the town until, at last, she found a chain that 51 (match) Jim’s beautiful gold watch. It cost 21 dollars. Della went home with the chain and her 87 cents. At 7 o’clock, Jim came home. He saw Della’s short hair and stared at her. He gave Della a hug and took a parcel out of his pocket. Della opened it and found the comb she always 52 (want) inside. But now Della had no hair to brush with it! “Don’t worry. My hair grows fast, Jim!” she said. Then, she held out the chain. “I 53 (sell) the watch to get the money to buy you a comb,” Jim said. The two people unwisely sacrificed for each other their 54 (great) treasures. But of all who give gifts these two were the 55 (wise). They are the magi. 【答案】46．to buy 47．hard 48．anything 49．tears 50．shopping 51．matched 52．wanted 53．sold 54．greatest 55．wisest 【导语】本文主要讲述了贫穷的夫妻德拉和吉姆在圣诞节前一天，为了给对方购买礼物，分别卖掉了自己最珍贵的金表和长发，却最终礼物无法派上用场的感人故事，歌颂了彼此无私的爱。 46．句意：圣诞节前一天，德拉数了数自己的钱，发现只有1.87美元，用来给吉姆买礼物。拿钱的目的是给吉姆买礼物，应填不定式to buy作目的状语。 47．句意：德拉努力思考。修饰动词“thought”用副词形式，hard本身可作副词，表示“努力地”。 48．句意：家里只有两样东西算得上是有价值的——吉姆的金表和德拉那可爱的长发。“only two things”表明句子隐含否定含义，因此something要改为anything。 49．句意：她眼里含着泪水，沿着街道走到一家理发店并走了进去。固定短语with tears in one’s eyes表示“眼里含着泪”，空处用复数形式。 50．句意：然后，德拉去购物了。go shopping是固定短语，意为“去购物”，动词需用动名词形式。 51．句意：她在镇上的商店里找了一遍，最后找到了一条与吉姆漂亮金表相配的链子。文章整体叙述过去发生的事情，因此时态应用一般过去时，动词用过去式matched。 52．句意：德拉打开包裹，发现里面是她一直想要的梳子。根据上下文，“想要梳子”是在打开包裹之前的愿望，应用一般过去时，动词用过去式wanted。 53．句意：吉姆说：“我卖掉了手表，拿钱给你买了一把梳子。”吉姆卖手表是为了买梳子，买梳子的动作发生在过去，所以“卖手表”也应用一般过去时，动词用过去式sold。 54．句意：这两个人不明智地为了彼此牺牲了他们最珍贵的宝贝。根据上下文语境，这里强调是两人“最珍贵的”财富，应用形容词的最高级。 55．句意：但在所有送礼的人中，这两个人是最聪明的。“of all”提示比较对象是三者及以上，应用最高级。 六．任务型阅读（10分） In today’s busy world, we often forget to take care of ourselves. Since the end of 2025, a new and fun saying has been popular among young people— “Love you, my old self”. Here, “old self” is a cute way to talk about ourselves in a friendly manner. It first came from a short video posted by a blogger, who said “I want to eat a pomelo (柚子), but I’m too lazy to peel it.” Yet right after that, she peeled it and enjoyed it herself, saying “Love you, my old self. See you tomorrow!” Life is always challenging. We have to deal with lots of work, stress, and sometimes face difficult situations. When we’re tired from working all day or feel sad, remember to love our “old selves”. How can we do that? It’s not difficult at all, and different roles have their special ways of loving their “old selves”. After a long tiring day at work, a mother can lose herself in a good book first, instead of rushing to do housework. A teacher, busy with giving lessons and grading papers, can attend a short yoga class after school to be ready for the next day. Loving our “old selves” means putting ourselves first sometimes. It’s not being selfish. It’s about knowing that we’re important too. By taking good care of ourselves, we’ll have more energy and be happier. Besides, this positive mind can also influence the people around us.

Every day, we make many small choices, like what to eat or what to wear. Sometimes, we have to make big choices, and they can change our life. When we make a choice, we often hope it is the best one. But sometimes, we may regret it later. We may think, “If only I could choose again!” However, life seldom gives us second chances. A wise man once said, “Think twice before you make a choice.” When we face a choice, we should think carefully. We should consider what is good for us and what is not. We should also think about the result of our choice. No matter what choice we make, we should be responsible for it. We cannot go back and change it. So, make every choice wisely. 11．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How to make small choices. B．Choices are important in life. C．We can always choose again.

Harry is one of the company’s workers, but  he is only 12 years old! He isn’t paid (有报酬) because he’s too young to work for money. But he gets free sweets! Harry says, “When I start the job, I feel like I am in the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!”   Would you like to look after an island in the Pacific Ocean? Ben Southall gets the job. He lives by himself on the island and writes blogs every day. Many people start to show great interest in visiting this island after reading his blogs. The local government is happy and pays Ben $111,000 for six months’ work.   Usuatly, sleeping on the job is a big problem! But Roisin,from UK, is paid $1,000 every month to do that.

Because they want to work with Jerry. Jerry is always happy and always has something good to say. If a worker is having a bad day, Jerry is there telling the worker how to look at the good side of things. I ask him, “I don’t understand it! How can you always be a positive person?” Jerry answers, “Each morning I wake up, I say to myself, ‘Jerry, you can choose to be in a good mood (心情) or a bad mood.’ ▲ Each time something bad happens, I choose to learn from it, but not to be sad. Every time someone comes to me in a bad mood, I choose to help him or her see the positive side of life.” “Yeah, right.

D My Journey of Choosing When I was in Grade 8, I had to choose between joining the school basketball team and the English speech club. I loved both, but I could only choose one because they met at the same time on Friday afternoons. I talked to my parents and teachers. My father said, “Follow your heart, but also think about what will help you more in the future.” My English teacher told me, “The speech club can improve your speaking skills and confidence.” My PE teacher said, “Basketball can teach you teamwork and keep you healthy.” It was a hard choice. I made a list of the good and bad points for each. The basketball team could keep me fit and make me learn to work with others. The speech club could help me speak better in front of people and prepare me for future interviews. In the end, I chose the English speech club. I thought it would be more useful for my studies and future jobs. I worked hard in the club, practiced speaking every week, and even won a prize in a school speech competition. Looking back, I’m happy with my choice. I learned that making a good choice means thinking carefully about what is important to you. It also means being brave to give up one thing to get something better. Now, when I face new choices, I’m not afraid. I know how to think and choose wisely. 26．What choice did the writer face in Grade 8? A．Choosing between two subjects. B．Choosing between two sports. C．Choosing between two clubs. D．Choosing between two books. 27．What did the writer’s father suggest? A．Join the basketball team. B．Follow his heart and think about the future. C．Ask the teachers for help. D．Choose the easier one. 28．Why did the writer finally choose the English speech club? A．Because he didn’t like basketball. B．Because the club met on a different day. C．Because he thought it was more useful for his future. D．Because his best friend was in the club. 29．What did the writer learn from this experience? A．Choices are always easy. B．It’s important to listen to others. C．Making a good choice requires thinking and being brave. D．You should always choose the most popular option. 30．What is the best title for the passage? A．My Favorite Club B．How I Chose a Club C．The Importance of Sports D．My Teachers’ Advice 三．阅读理解六选五（每小题2分，10分） 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意。然后根据短文内容从下面的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。一空一句。 In our daily life, we are often kind to others, while sometimes we forget to be kind to ourselves. In fact, it’s important to treat yourself kindly. But the question is how to do that. 31 First, accept that nobody is perfect. 32 When you make mistakes, don’t be strict with yourself. Think about how you’ll comfort your friend in the same situation. So why not treat yourself in the same way? 33 Learning new things takes time. If you find a subject difficult, don’t worry about it. Tell yourself that it’s okay to take small steps. Third, take care of your body and mind. 34 Besides physical health, your mind should be cared about. When you feel stressed, take a deep breath or listen to music. These simple actions show that you are kind to yourself. Lastly, encourage yourself with kind words. If you fail an exam or don’t do well in something, don’t lose heart. You can say “I can do this.” or “I’m doing my best.” 35 To tell the truth, being kind to yourself isn’t selfish (自私的). It helps you grow and be happier. When you’re kind to yourself, you can also be a better friend to others. 根据短文内容，将下面的句子还原到文中空白处，使短文内容完整、通顺。（每个选项只能用一次，有一个选项是多余的） A．Your body needs healthy food and enough sleep.

Since the end of 2025, a new and fun saying has been popular among young people— “Love you, my old self”. Here, “old self” is a cute way to talk about ourselves in a friendly manner. It first came from a short video posted by a blogger, who said “I want to eat a pomelo (柚子), but I’m too lazy to peel it.” Yet right after that, she peeled it and enjoyed it herself, saying “Love you, my old self. See you tomorrow!” Life is always challenging. We have to deal with lots of work, stress, and sometimes face difficult situations. When we’re tired from working all day or feel sad, remember to love our “old selves”. How can we do that? It’s not difficult at all, and different roles have their special ways of loving their “old selves”. After a long tiring day at work, a mother can lose herself in a good book first, instead of rushing to do housework. A teacher, busy with giving lessons and grading papers, can attend a short yoga class after school to be ready for the next day. Loving our “old selves” means putting ourselves first sometimes. It’s not being selfish. It’s about knowing that we’re important too. By taking good care of ourselves, we’ll have more energy and be happier. Besides, this positive mind can also influence the people around us. When we love our lives, we’re more likely to spread kindness and joy to others. 56．Where did the saying first come from? 57．What is life like according to the writer? 58．Is loving our “old selves” easy or difficult according to the passage? 59．What does “loving our old selves” mean? 60．How can you have more energy? 七．书面表达（10分） 61．良好的情绪管理有助于人的身心健康，学会正确处理负面情绪，可以更好地应对生活中的各种困难和挑战，某英语报刊正在以“How to Deal with Negative Emotions (负面情绪)”为题向广大中学生征文，请你就中学生面临的学业压力，给他们一些缓解焦虑和压力的建议，并说明缓解压力的重要性。 写作要求： 1.要点齐全，语句通顺，可适当发挥； 2.文中不得出现真实的人名、校名等信息： 3.词数：80-100。 提示如下： How to Deal with Negative Emotions Negative emotions are something everyone may meet. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第3页（共8页） 试题 第4页（共8页） 试题 第1页（共8页） 试题 第2页（共8页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年八年级下册英语单元自测 Unit3·提升卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：90分钟，满分：100分） 一．完形填空（每小题1分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从各题所给的四个选项中选择一个最佳答案。 Self-growth is a must that everyone has to go through in his or her life.

D My Journey of Choosing When I was in Grade 8, I had to choose between joining the school basketball team and the English speech club. I loved both, but I could only choose one because they met at the same time on Friday afternoons. I talked to my parents and teachers. My father said, “Follow your heart, but also think about what will help you more in the future.” My English teacher told me, “The speech club can improve your speaking skills and confidence.” My PE teacher said, “Basketball can teach you teamwork and keep you healthy.” It was a hard choice. I made a list of the good and bad points for each. The basketball team could keep me fit and make me learn to work with others. The speech club could help me speak better in front of people and prepare me for future interviews. In the end, I chose the English speech club. I thought it would be more useful for my studies and future jobs. I worked hard in the club, practiced speaking every week, and even won a prize in a school speech competition. Looking back, I’m happy with my choice. I learned that making a good choice means thinking carefully about what is important to you. It also means being brave to give up one thing to get something better. Now, when I face new choices, I’m not afraid. I know how to think and choose wisely. 26．What choice did the writer face in Grade 8? A．Choosing between two subjects. B．Choosing between two sports. C．Choosing between two clubs.

C．Because he thought it was more useful for his future. D．Because his best friend was in the club. 29．What did the writer learn from this experience? A．Choices are always easy. B．It’s important to listen to others. C．Making a good choice requires thinking and being brave. D．You should always choose the most popular option. 30．What is the best title for the passage?

In fact, it’s important to treat yourself kindly. But the question is how to do that. 31 First, accept that nobody is perfect. 32 When you make mistakes, don’t be strict with yourself. Think about how you’ll comfort your friend in the same situation. So why not treat yourself in the same way? 33 Learning new things takes time. If you find a subject difficult, don’t worry about it. Tell yourself that it’s okay to take small steps. Third, take care of your body and mind. 34 Besides physical health, your mind should be cared about. When you feel stressed, take a deep breath or listen to music. These simple actions show that you are kind to yourself. Lastly, encourage yourself with kind words. If you fail an exam or don’t do well in something, don’t lose heart. You can say “I can do this.” or “I’m doing my best.” 35 To tell the truth, being kind to yourself isn’t selfish (自私的). It helps you grow and be happier. When you’re kind to yourself, you can also be a better friend to others. 根据短文内容，将下面的句子还原到文中空白处，使短文内容完整、通顺。（每个选项只能用一次，有一个选项是多余的） A．Your body needs healthy food and enough sleep.

Since the end of 2025, a new and fun saying has been popular among young people— “Love you, my old self”. Here, “old self” is a cute way to talk about ourselves in a friendly manner. It first came from a short video posted by a blogger, who said “I want to eat a pomelo (柚子), but I’m too lazy to peel it.” Yet right after that, she peeled it and enjoyed it herself, saying “Love you, my old self. See you tomorrow!” Life is always challenging. We have to deal with lots of work, stress, and sometimes face difficult situations. When we’re tired from working all day or feel sad, remember to love our “old selves”. How can we do that? It’s not difficult at all, and different roles have their special ways of loving their “old selves”. After a long tiring day at work, a mother can lose herself in a good book first, instead of rushing to do housework. A teacher, busy with giving lessons and grading papers, can attend a short yoga class after school to be ready for the next day. Loving our “old selves” means putting ourselves first sometimes. It’s not being selfish. It’s about knowing that we’re important too. By taking good care of ourselves, we’ll have more energy and be happier. Besides, this positive mind can also influence the people around us. When we love our lives, we’re more likely to spread kindness and joy to others. 56．Where did the saying first come from? 57．What is life like according to the writer? 58．Is loving our “old selves” easy or difficult according to the passage? 59．What does “loving our old selves” mean? 60．How can you have more energy? 七．书面表达（10分） 61．良好的情绪管理有助于人的身心健康，学会正确处理负面情绪，可以更好地应对生活中的各种困难和挑战，某英语报刊正在以“How to Deal with Negative Emotions (负面情绪)”为题向广大中学生征文，请你就中学生面临的学业压力，给他们一些缓解焦虑和压力的建议，并说明缓解压力的重要性。 写作要求： 1.要点齐全，语句通顺，可适当发挥； 2.文中不得出现真实的人名、校名等信息： 3.词数：80-100。 提示如下： How to Deal with Negative Emotions Negative emotions are something everyone may meet. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 14 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
