D 22. C 23. C 24. B 25. A 26. B 27. C 28. D 29. D 30. C 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了女孩珍妮虽出身音乐世家却不擅长乐器，但她有绘画天赋，最终在老师鼓励下获奖，父母也不再逼迫她学音乐。故事告诉我们：要做真实的自己。 【21题详解】 句意：她的父亲是一位著名的钢琴家，母亲是一位歌手。 前文说“musical family”，父亲为“pianist”，母亲也应是音乐相关职业，选“singer”。 【22题详解】 句意：所以她尽最大努力练习钢琴，但她仍然弹不好。 “try one’s best to do sth”意为“尽某人最大努力做某事”，为固定搭配。全文使用一般过去时，此处用过去式“tried”。 【23题详解】 句意：她的父母在日常生活中对她非常严格。 由下文“her father pushed her to learn to play the piano.”可知，父母对她“严格”，符合“be strict with sb”搭配。bored“厌倦的”，scared“害怕的”和careful“小心的”均不符合文意。 【24题详解】 句意：当父亲逼迫她学钢琴时，珍妮很伤心。 由“Jenny was sad”和后文父母的转变“they didn’t keep pushing Jenny to play music any more”可知，此处填“pushed”（逼迫）。made后接省略to的不定式，搭配错误。 【25题详解】 句意：珍妮不喜欢演奏乐器，而是喜欢在空闲时间画画。 后文提到“Her paintings”，说明她喜欢“画画”，选drawing。 【26题详解】 句意：她的画在班上出人意料地受欢迎。 修饰形容词popular用副词，用surprisingly“出人意料地”与后文“But her family didn’t discover her talent.”形成对比。 【27题详解】 句意：当她的父母看到她的成就时，他们不再逼迫珍妮学音乐了。 由前文“she got many medals for her excellent works.”可知，父母看到她的achievements“成就”。 【28题详解】 句意：珍妮终于发现了自己的风格。 此处意为“经过努力后‘终于’发现了自己的风格”，选finally。hardly“几乎不”，really“真正，十分”和exactly“确切地”与语境不符。 【29题详解】 句意：与众不同并不意味着你没有任何天赋，而是意味着你有特别的东西可以与世界分享。 结尾为“make yourself unique”，选“special”呼应主题，同时符合“being different”的特点。 【30题详解】 句意：就做你自己！ 祈使句，与“others”对比，呼吁读者“做你自己”，选yourself。其他选项人称不符合。 三、阅读理解(每小题2分,共40分) 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 A Growing up is a beautiful and meaningful journey for everyone. It is not just about growing taller or older, but also about learning, changing and becoming a better person. During the growing-up journey, we will meet all kinds of difficulties and challenges. We may feel lonely when we are alone, we may be upset when we fail an exam, and we may be shy when we speak in public. But these experiences are all part of growing up. We need to learn how to deal with these problems by ourselves. We should learn from our mistakes, face challenges bravely and get over our weaknesses. Growing up also means being independent and taking on responsibilities. When we are young, our parents take care of everything for us. But as we grow up, we need to learn to do things by ourselves, like finishing homework alone, making our own decisions and looking after ourselves. We also need to be responsible for our actions and choices. Our parents, teachers and friends will always be there to help us. But in the end, it is ourselves who need to walk the journey of growing up. Every small step we take will make us stronger and better. Cherish the journey of growing up, and we will have a wonderful life. 31. What does growing up mean according to the passage? A. Just growing taller and older. B. Learning, changing and becoming a better person. C. Only taking on responsibilities. 32. What problems may we meet during the growing-up journey? A. Feeling lonely and being upset. B. Being shy to speak in public. C. All of them. 33. What should we do when we meet difficulties? A. Run away from them. B. Ask others to solve them for us. C. Deal with them by ourselves and learn from mistakes. 34. What does being independent mean when we grow up? A. Doing things by ourselves and making our own decisions. B. Not asking for help from anyone. C. Taking care of our parents. 35. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Growing up is an easy journey with no tears. B. Our friends will walk the growing-up journey for us. C. Every small step in growing up makes us stronger. 【答案】31. B 32. C 33. C 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要围绕成长这一话题展开论述，阐述了成长不仅仅是身体长高、变老，还包括学习、改变成为更好的人，成长中会遇到各种困难和挑战，成长也意味着独立和承担责任，最后强调要珍惜成长旅程，走好成长之路。 【31题详解】 第一段明确提到“It is not just about growing taller or older, but also about learning, changing and becoming a better person.”，这直接说明成长意味着学习、改变并成为更好的人。 【32题详解】 第二段指出“We may feel lonely when we are alone, we may be upset when we fail an exam, and we may be shy when we speak in public.”，说明在成长过程中我们可能会感到孤独、沮丧，在公众场合讲话会害羞，即所有选项中的问题都可能遇到。 【33题详解】 第二段提到“We need to learn how to deal with these problems by ourselves. We should learn from our mistakes, face challenges bravely and get over our weaknesses.”，说明遇到困难时我们要自己处理并从错误中学习。 【34题详解】 第三段提到“But as we grow up, we need to learn to do things by ourselves, like finishing homework alone, making our own decisions and looking after ourselves.”，说明成长中独立意味着自己做事和做自己的决定。 【35题详解】 最后一段提到“Every small step we take will make us stronger and better.”，说明成长中的每一步都让我们更强大。 B One day, Jackson just sat down at a table and ate his chicken sandwich for lunch. Suddenly, his friends took Jackson’s action as a joke and laughed. However, Jackson pointed to his throat and wanted to tell the truth. Then they saw food stuck in his throat and Jackson tried to cough the food out. David decided to do something. He remembered the Heimlich manoeuvre from health class, so he gave it a try. First, he stood behind Jackson, put his arms around Jackson, made a fist with one hand and put it two fingers above Jackson’s navel. Then, he held the fist with his other hand and moved inward and upward hard and quickly. With help, Jackson coughed the food out finally. The teacher was glad because David did as she taught him. David once thought he would never use the skill in his life, but it helped him know what to do in time. Then he said, “Maybe I can help. Doing something is better than doing nothing.” 36. What happened to Jackson during lunch at school? A. He played a joke with his friends. B. He laughed at his friends. C. He couldn’t find a table. D. He got his food stuck in his throat. 37. When did David begin to use the Heimlich manoeuvre? A. When Jackson started to cough. B. When his friends began to laugh. C. When Jackson pointed to his throat. D. When he sat down with his friends. 38. What’s the correct order of the Heimlich manoeuvre? a. Put arms around the person. b. Stand right behind the person. c. Move inward and upward hard and quickly. d. Make a fist and put it above the navel. A. a-b-c-d B. c-d-a-b C. b-a-d-c D. d-c-a-b 39. What do you think of David? A. He is shy. B. He is helpful. C. He is serious. D. He is hard-working. 40. What’s the passage mainly about? A. What the Heimlich manoeuvre is. B. How the Heimlich manoeuvre works. C. Why the Heimlich manoeuvre is useful. D. A boy saved his friend with the Heimlich manoeuvre. 【答案】36. D 37. C 38. C 39. B 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Jackson在学校午餐时因食物噎喉遇险，David运用所学的海姆立克急救法成功施救的故事，展现了知识在关键时刻的作用以及乐于助人的品质。 【36题详解】 原文第二段“Then they saw food stuck in his throat and Jackson tried to cough the food out.”（然后他们看到食物卡在他的喉咙里，Jackson试图把食物咳出来）可知，Jackson的遭遇是食物卡喉。 【37题详解】 第二段提到“Jackson pointed to his throat and wanted to tell the truth.”（Jackson指向他的喉咙，想要说明真相），这一举动让朋友们意识到情况不对，正是在看到杰克逊指喉咙、意识到他是真的被卡住之后，大卫才决定采取行动。因此，David是在Jackson指着喉咙表明困境后开始施救的。 【38题详解】 根据原文第三段对施救步骤的描述： “First, he stood behind Jackson”（首先，他站在Jackson身后）→ 对应步骤b； “put his arms around Jackson”（用双臂环抱住Jackson）→ 对应步骤a； “made a fist with one hand and put it two fingers above Jackson’s belly button”（一只手握拳，放在Jackson肚脐上方两指处）→ 对应步骤d； “held the fist with his other hand and moved inward and upward hard and quickly”（另一只手握住拳头，快速向内向上用力）→ 对应步骤c。b-a-d-c符合。 【39题详解】 David在朋友遇险时主动施救，且最终成功帮助Jackson脱险，体现了他乐于助人的品质。 【40题详解】 文章核心是讲述David用海姆立克急救法救了朋友Jackson的故事，而非单纯介绍海姆立克急救法的定义、原理或作用。 C Kate grew up in a rich family.

Kate became unhappy”，说明她因为不能再运动而不开心。 【43题详解】 第三段指出：“She decided to take Kate to the hospital.”，说明她带Kate去看医生。 【44题详解】 第三段描述她在医院学会了理解自己的情绪，结合最后一段“Now, Kate is a happy and healthy college student”，说明她康复并再次变得坚强。 【45题详解】 全文讲述了Kate从抑郁到康复、从黑暗到光明的过程，因此“从黑暗的日子到光明的未来”是最佳标题。 D “Tell me what you are going to do on Sunday morning, Jim,” Mr. Wang asks. “I’m going to see a new movie.

Every person has their own growing-up story, and these stories shape who we are. Here are two stories from Grade 8 students about their growing-up experiences. Lucas used to be a very selfish boy. He only thought about himself and never cared about others. One day, his little brother fell ill and needed to stay in bed. His mother was very busy taking care of his brother, so she asked Lucas to help with housework. At first, Lucas was unwilling, but when he saw how tired his mother was, he changed his mind. He helped clean the house, wash the dishes and take care of his brother. From this experience, Lucas learned to be kind and responsible. He realized that growing up means thinking about others. Emma used to be afraid of making mistakes. She always refused to try new things because she was worried about failing. Her art teacher noticed this and asked her to join the school art club. At first, Emma was nervous and made many mistakes. But her teacher and classmates encouraged her to keep trying. Gradually, Emma became more confident and started to enjoy drawing. She learned that making mistakes is part of growing up and that we can learn from our mistakes. These stories show that growing up is about changing and learning.

It is not just about growing taller or older, but also about learning, changing and becoming a better person. During the growing-up journey, we will meet all kinds of difficulties and challenges. We may feel lonely when we are alone, we may be upset when we fail an exam, and we may be shy when we speak in public. But these experiences are all part of growing up. We need to learn how to deal with these problems by ourselves. We should learn from our mistakes, face challenges bravely and get over our weaknesses. Growing up also means being independent and taking on responsibilities. When we are young, our parents take care of everything for us. But as we grow up, we need to learn to do things by ourselves, like finishing homework alone, making our own decisions and looking after ourselves. We also need to be responsible for our actions and choices. Our parents, teachers and friends will always be there to help us.
