One of the biggest is pollution. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it. Men have been polluting the earth. Many years ago, the pollution was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, men moved to another place. Air pollution is now the most serious. Air makes people sick. And lots of people now are trying to use something to clear the air. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us become angry more easily. Many countries are making rules to fight air pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. It is true that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution. Although most of the pollution is caused by us, we are the ones who can change the situation. The earth is our home. We must take care of it. And we must pay more attention to the information about pollution at the same time. 1．Why was the pollution in the past less serious? A．Because life in the past was easier. B．Because there were not so many people. C．Because men stayed in one place. D．Because people used less coal to make fire. 2．According to the passage, which kind of pollution is the most serious? A．Air pollution. B．Noise pollution. C．Light pollution. D．Water pollution. 3．What is the best title of the passage? A．A Smaller and Easier World B．Take Care of Our Earth C．Heavy and Dangerous Traffic D．The Danger of Pollution Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·安徽滁州·期末） At 8, 848. 86 meters high, Qomolangma is the tallest mountain on the earth. While it is famous for its beautiful views, parts of the mountain are facing a problem: rubbish. Every year, thousands of visitors throw away tons of rubbish, such as bottles and plastic bags. According to the UN, over 140 tons of rubbish has been left on the mountain. To reduce (减少) rubbish, China limited (限制) the number of people who would be allowed to climb up the north side of the mountain. Only 300 people would be allowed to climb it every year, and only during spring. Local people cleaned the mountain last year, removing rubbish at a height of 5, 200 meters. They collected about 8. 4 metric tons (公吨) of rubbish. This year, the local government plans to spend 4 million yuan on a new clean-up activity. The local government is also setting up stations to sort (分类), recycle and break down rubbish collected from the mountain. A group of artists will also try to turn the rubbish into art works. They will show these works of art to remind people not to leave rubbish when climbing the mountain. 4．What problem are parts of Qomolangma facing? A．Noise. B．Rubbish. C．Air pollution. D．Water pollution. 5．How many people will be allowed to climb up the north side of the mountain during spring every year? A．140. B．300. C．5, 200.

Passage 3 （24-25八年级下·安徽池州·期末） The Yangtze River is the longest river in China. It is the home to over 400 species (物种) like the Chinese sturgeon (中华鲟). The Chinese sturgeon is one of the largest fish in the world and it’s long. A Chinese sturgeon can grow up to about 5m long, over 500kg and live to be 40 years old. They’ve lived on the earth for about 140, 000, 000 years, so people call them a “living fossil (化石)”. The Chinese sturgeon was common in the river before. However, it's in danger now. Fishing too much in the 1970s made the species fewer and fewer. And in 1981, the building of the Gezhouba Dam put the sturgeon into two groups. The two groups could not get together. As a result, the species became even fewer, So the help for the Chinese sturgeon is very necessary. Luckily, China already took action. On May 14th, 2020, Shanghai passed a new rule to help the Chinese sturgeon. This was the first rule in the country to help one fish in danger. From January 2020, the country also started to stop people from fishing in the Yangtze River. It will last (持续) for ten years. We believe the Chinese sturgeon will become more and more. We should also play a part in saving the species in danger. 8．From Paragraph 1, we can know about the common ________ of the Chinese sturgeon. A．food B．age C．habit D．color 9．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The Chinese sturgeon is common now. B．Beijing passed a new rule to help the Chinese sturgeon. C．There are less than 400 species in the Yangtze River. D．People call the Chinese sturgeon a living fossil. 10．In the last paragraph, the writer wants us to ________. A．start to go fishing B．make a new rule C．save the Chinese sturgeon D．clean the Yangtze River 主题02 人与社会——景点介绍 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·安徽宿州·期末） Do you know there are five great mountains in China? They’re Mount Taishan in Shandong, Mount Huashan in Shaanxi, Mount Hengshan in Shanxi. Mount Songshan in Henan and Mount Hengshan in Hunan.

Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·安徽滁州·期末） The Big Stone River is one of the most amazing stone rivers in the world. The Big Stone River is the most interesting sight (景象) of Taganai Park in Russia. Different from other rivers, it is filled with rocks and stones. Not a drop (滴) of water can be seen. Interestingly, as one comes near to the rocky river, the sound of running water can be heard. Rocks fell down from the mountains slowly and made the river of rocks. The Big Stone River is about 6 km long and is made up of many small rocky rivers. It cuts through a thick forest like a real river. It is about 200 meters wide and in some places, it is up to 700 meters wide. Some of the rocks weigh up to 10 tons each and the layer (层) of rocks goes down 6 meters deep. Scientists believe it is the result of the movement of glaciers (冰川) about 10,000 years ago. At that time, ice covered the top of the mountains. As time went by, the ice turned into water. Seeing the amazing river is a great experience. The best way to experience this natural wonder is from above. Come and visit it when you come to Russia. 14．Why is the Big Stone River special? A．Because it is in Taganai Park. B．Because it is full of fish. C．Because it is impossible to see water there. D．Because the sound of running water is loud. 15．How wide is the widest part of the Big Stone River? A．6 meters.

Passage 3 （24-25八年级下·安徽六安·期末） The Longest River in China The Yangtze River, known as Changjiang in China, is the longest river in Asia and the third longest in the world. It stretches about 6,300 kilometers from west to east, flowing through 11 provinces. The river is not only a natural wonder but also a vital water source for millions of people. It feeds farmlands, provides hydroelectric power, and supports rich biodiversity. However, pollution and overfishing have caused environmental challenges in recent years. Thanks to conservation efforts, more fish species are returning, and the river’s ecosystem is slowly improving. “Protecting the Yangtze is our responsibility,” said environmentalist Dr. Wang. 18．How long is the Yangtze River? A．6,300 meters. B．630 kilometers. C．6,300 kilometers. D．63,000 kilometers. 19．What problem does the river face? A．Drought. B．Pollution. C．Freezing. D．Noise. 20．Who is Dr. Wang? A．A teacher.

Chinese scientists discovered this using Zhurong, China’s first Mars rover (探测器). To collect data (数据), the rover sends radio waves 80 meters into the ground. When these waves hit something important, they let the rover know about it. From the data, scientists found special rock layers (岩层) on Mars. The layers are 10 to 35 meters thick and about 1.3 kilometers long. These rock layers are like the ones near beaches on Earth. Their shape shows that water movement, not wind, probably made the layers. That’s why scientists think the rock layers might be an ancient shoreline. For many years, scientists talked about if there was a large sea in the northern area of Mars. With the new data, scientists think that Mars had a large sea about 3.5 to 4 billion years ago. The sea known as Deuteronilus covered about half of Mars. At that time, the red planet’s air was thicker and its weather was warmer. All this makes us think that there might have been life on Mars in the past. 21．How does Zhurong collect data? A．By collecting waves on Mars. B．By looking into sand on the ground. C．By hitting the rock layers on Mars. D．By sending radio waves into the ground. 22．What does the underlined word “shoreline” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．A line near the forests. B．A line where land meets water. C．A line made by radio waves. D．A line that can create wind. 23．What can we learn about Deuteronilus from the last paragraph? A．It took up about half of Mars. B．It was a large rock on Mars. C．It lay in the southern area of Mars. D．It made the red planet’s air thin. 24．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To explain how scientists invented Zhurong. B．To describe the weather conditions on Mars. C．To introduce the discovery of a sea on Mars. D．To compare beaches on Mars with those on Earth. Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·安徽宿州·期末） AI, short for Artificial Intelligence (人工智能), is becoming more and more common in our life. Not long ago, an AI canteen opened in Shanghai. The AI canteen, located in the Hongqiao Area (区), covers about 130 square meters. It can serve about 300 people every day, most of whom are old people living nearby or office workers in the area. At the canteen, people need to order food on a screen. For those who are not sure (确定) what they want to eat, the canteen’s cooking system (系统) can offer advice. The canteen’s robots cook dishes. They can make different kinds of Chinese dishes, like gongbao chicken and mapo touf. What’s more, the robots can pack (打包) dishes for take-away food. At the self-service area, customers only need to put their dishes on a smart cash desk and the system will tell them the price of the meal. People can pay in different ways, like using bank cards or QR codes (二维码). The prices of the food at the AI canteen are not expensive. Every meat dish costs 8 yuan while every vegetable dish costs only 3.5 yuan. “The meals cooked by robots taste as good as those cooked by humans. It is cheap and convenient for us to eat in the AI canteen,” said an old man. Would you like to have a meal in such a smart canteen? 25．What does the underlined word “canteen” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Bank. B．Supermarket. C．Restaurant. D．Clothes store. 26．How much are a meat dish and two vegetable dishes? A．3.5 yuan. B．11.5 yuan. C．8 yuan.

D．We cannot take away the dishes ordered. Passage 3 （24-25八年级下·安徽池州·期末） Have you watched the film Ne Zha 2? Have you heard of DeepSeek recently? To our surprise, they are all created by young people who are leading China to a better future. Three of them are especially excellent. Let’s take a look! Jiaozi, the director of “Ne Zha 2” was born in 1980 in Lu Zhou, Sichuan. Just like Ne Zha, he overcame many difficulties, spending five years bringing traditional stories to life. Besides, the movie has more than 1,900 special effect shots that are really amazing. Since the movie came out, it has broken the box-office records (票房记录) in Chinese film history and become a hit. Born in 1985 in a small town in Guangdong, Liang Wenfeng was interested in AI technology from an early age and founded DeepSeek in 2023. Now DeepSeek’s App became the most download (下载) free app in both China and the US. Although five years younger than Liang Wenfeng, Wang Xingxing from Zhejiang set up Unitree, a world famous technology company (公司). It developed the robots used in the dance performance “YangBOT” in the Spring Festival Gala (春晚). These robots are not only for fun but also help in important tasks such as rescuing (救援). These young people are truly role models and their unexpected success is an inspiration to all the Chinese. 28．How many special effect shots are there in “Ne Zha”? A．Over 1, 980. B．About 1, 980.

A． B． C． D． 主题04 人与自然——科普知识 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·安徽滁州·期末） The Roe River, lies in Montana, USA, is believed the shortest river in the world. It’s only about 201 feet long, which is really short compared to other well-known rivers. The Roe River connects (连接) Giant Springs to the Missouri River. Giant Springs is a large spring (泉) that is full of fresh water. It produces a huge amount of water. This water runs through the Roe River and then joins the Missouri River. The history of the Roe River is pretty interesting. A．H. Thayer found it in the late 19th century. Thayer was traveling in the area when he came across this unusual short river. However, it wasn’t until later that many people around the world believed the Roe River was the shortest river in the world. In 1989, the Guinness Book of World Records accepted the Roe River as the world’s shortest river. Even though it’s short, the Roe River is very special. It has a special ecosystem (生态系统). Small fish and all kinds of plants live in its water. Many visitors are interested in its clear water. They come to see this amazing natural wonder and take pictures. It shows that size doesn’t always matter; even a short river like the Roe River can be a fascinating part of our planet. 31．Where is the Roe River? A．In America. B．In Canada. C．In Australia. D．In England. 32．What does the underlined word “It” refer to (指的是)? A．The Roe River. B．The Missouri River. C．Giant Springs. D．Montana. 33．What can we know about the Roe River? A．It is over 300 feet long. B．It appeared in the early 20th century. C．It is the second shortest river in the world. D．It has a special ecosystem with small fish and plants. Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·安徽省合肥·期末） Do you know how the weather affects our lives? Well, it can affect where we go, what we do, and what we wear. And it also affects how we feel. It is a big part of our lives! We often use the weather to describe (描述) how we feel. For example, if we are feeling ill, we say we are “under the weather”. If we are feeling stressed (有压力的) and busy, we can say that we are “snowed under”. We use the “bad” weather (rainy, cold, etc.) to describe a bad feeling, and the “good” weather (sunny, warm, etc.) to describe a good feeling. And that is not all. The weather can even change the way we feel! For example, the sunlight helps our body to produce (产生) vitamin D．Vitamin D can improve our feelings. But some parts of the world get less sunlight in winter. So people feel very sad. However, when it is hot, people may get angry easily too! Scientists are still studying how the weather changes people’s feelings and behaviors (行为). If we spend too much time at home, we can’t get enough fresh air or sunlight. It can make us feel down. It is very important to go out once in a while, no matter how the weather is, rainy or sunny! 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 34．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a story. B．By asking a question. C．By using numbers. D．By giving an example. 35．How does Tom feel if he says he is “snowed under”? A．He is ill. B．He is happy. C．He is busy. D．He is calm. 36．When may people get angry easily according to Paragraph 3? A．When it’s hot. B．When it’s rainy. C．When it’s snowy. D．When it’s cold. 37．What are the scientists studying?

B．Learn about the weather. C．Go outside sometimes. D．Know about our body. Passage 3 （24-25八年级下·安徽省合肥·期末） A rabbit is running into its hole. You may ask, “What happened?” Well, when a rabbit sees something dangerous, it runs away. Its tail (尾巴) moves up and down as it runs. When the other rabbits see this tail moving up and down, they run too. They know that there is danger. The rabbit tells them something without making a sound. It gives them a signal—that gives others information. Many other animals use this kind of language. When a bee (蜜蜂) finds some food, it goes back to its home. It cannot tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little dance in the air. This tells the bees where the food is. Some animals say things by making sounds. A dog barks (犬吠) when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs (喵喵叫) when it feels pleased. Some birds make several different sounds, each with its own meaning. But man has something that no animal has—a large number of words about things, actions, feelings or ideas. We are able to give each other information, to tell other people what is in our mind or how we feel. By writing words down we can remember the things that happened, or send messages to people far away. No animal can do this. No animal has the wonderful power of language. No one knows how man learned to make words. Man, however, learned to make them. As hundreds of years went by, man made more and more new words. This is what we mean by language. Today there are about 1.5 thousand different languages in the world. But we don’t know all these. We should try to make our vocabulary (词汇量) larger. Read as many books as possible. 根据短文内容选择最佳答案。 39．The underlined word “signal” in the passage means “________” in English. A．nickname B．mark C．cue 40．From the passage, we can learn ________. A．if a rabbit moves its tail up and down, it means it feels excited B．a bee tells others something dangerous by speaking to them C．some of the animals like dogs and cats say things by making sounds 41．According to the passage, ________. A．a cat purrs when it feels pleased B．a bee does a little dance to tell what the food is C．a dog barks when it has fun 42．Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A．Man can give each other information by actions or languages. B．Scientists know how man learned to make words. C．There are about 1,500 different languages in the world. 43．The passage is mainly about ________. A．why animals have no words B．the difference between humans and animals C．how humans and animals give information 主题01 人与自然——环境保护 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·安徽芜湖·期末） Feeling hot? So is the earth. Because of problems like climate changes and bad ways of farming, much of the planet’s land is drying up. What can we do to solve this problem? One thing the United Nations did was to create a holiday. In 1994, the UN started World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought (世界防治荒漠化和干旱日), to let more people know about desertification. It is on June 17 every year. Desertification happens when healthy land—land full of water and nutrients (营养)—becomes deserts, which are dry and unhealthy. Every year, 20,000 to 50,000 square kilometers of the earth’s land is lost to desertification. In Africa, scientists expect that two thirds of Africa’s healthy land will be lost by 2025. Desertification sometimes happens because of the climate change, as big, fast changes in temperature can kill plants and trees. However, it also happens because people use land too much, and in bad ways, to grow food on their farms. Growing too many plants in the same soil (土壤), in too short a time, can take away the soil’s nutrients faster than the soil can make new ones. That can turn the soil into dry sand, like a desert. The UN suggests (建议) some different actions to stop desertification. One is to teach people better ways of farming, including the use of better fertilizers (肥料). Another is reforestation which means planting more trees. One country that has done a lot of that is China. Today China has 61 million hectares (公顷) of reforested land—more than anywhere else in the world. 1．Which of the following can cause (导致) desertification? A．Using land too much. B．Reforestation. C．The use of better fertilizers. D．Water control. 2．Why is the climate change bad for desertification according to the passage? A．Because it is getting colder and colder so that plants can’t grow. B．Because it is getting hotter and hotter so that plants can’t grow. C．Because it doesn’t rain as it used to. D．Because big, fast changes in temperature can kill plants. 3．What’s the last paragraph probably about? A．The use of better fertilizers. B．The better ways of farming. C．China’s plans for planting more trees. D．The UN’s advice on fighting desertification. Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·安徽芜湖·期末） Have you heard of the three Rs—“Reduce, Reuse, Recycle”? They help cut down on waste. In China, a creative idea came to life at the Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring tourist area (鸣沙山月牙泉景区) in Dunhuang, Gansu Province. The area launched an “Exchange Trash for Gifts” program. How does it work? Visitors get a trash bag from workers, collect litter around the site, and then exchange the trash for small gifts like key chains or fridge magnets (磁铁). Wang Keshou, a cleaner, is pleased to see many visitors helping pick up trash. “This has made my job much easier,” he says. Mrs. Yang, a visitor from Tianjin, spent a pleasant day at the area with her child. Her kid was excited to collect trash for gifts. Mrs. Yang thinks the activity is meaningful. “It teaches children not to litter and that waste should go in the right place. Everyone has a role in protecting the environment,” she says. The program starts at 8:30 pm daily, and visitors can exchange their trash for gifts one hour later. It will continue until mid-October. 4．How do visitors get gifts in the activity? A．By buying them at the site. B．By picking up trash and exchanging it. C．By helping workers clean. D．By answering environmental questions. 5．Why does Wang Keshou feel happy? A．Fewer visitors come to the area. B．He can get more gifts from visitors. C．Visitors help reduce his cleaning work D．The activity brings more visitors. 6．The underlined word “launched” in Paragraph 2 means ________. A．started B．stopped C．changed D．praised 7．What is the passage mainly about? A．How to visit Dunhuang’s tourist areas. B．The importance of the three Rs. C．A successful environmental activity in China. D．The importance of reducing waste in daily life. Passage 3 （24-25八年级下·安徽阜阳·期末） We all love giant pandas. In the 1970s there were just 1,114 of these animals in China. Now there are 1,864 giant pandas living in 52 protection areas that have been built in recent decades. In fact, several species（物种）that were endangered have seen a surprising comeback in recent decades, thanks to major protection efforts. Besides the giant panda, Yunnan’s snub-nosed monkey（金丝猴）and the crested ibis（朱鹮）are also among these success stories. The crested ibis, for example, was once widespread in east China, Japan, Russia and South Korea, but was later thought to die out. In 1981, seven crested ibises were found in Shanxi Province. Since then, breeding programs have helped its population reach 2,000. China has sent crested ibises to Japan and South Korea in recent years to help the species regenerate（发展壮大）.

Around the city, there are mountains with many pink rocks. To get to the mountains, tourists walk for over a kilometer through a narrow hole in the rock. Then they come to a large building in the side of a cliff (悬崖). Petra has many of these beautiful rock-cut buildings, and they make the city famous. Two thousand years ago, Petra was busy and noisy. People came from far away to buy and sell in the market places. Over 30,000 people once lived there. But the pink rocks didn’t seem as safe as they looked.

The traditional way of making them has been seen as a Zhejiang intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) since 2007. These paper umbrellas come from Yuhang. That’s why people call them Yuhang oil-paper umbrellas. Liu Weixue, 34, is the grandson of Liu Youquan, the inheritor (继承人) of the umbrella. He loves this traditional culture and his grandfather makes a big difference to him. So Liu Weixue gave up his job and began to design (设计), make and sell Yuhang paper umbrellas with his students. “It’s not easy to make an umbrella—more than 70 steps, but we should pass down the traditional culture,” Liu said. 16．What makes Xixi National Wetland Park special?

Picture this: Your mom asks you what you would like for breakfast. Many foods come to your mind: pancakes, bread, porridge... Until you tell your mom that you want to eat pancakes, you are communicating with yourself. We call it intrapersonal communication (自我沟通). This can be talking, reading, writing, thinking to ourselves, understanding and remembering something. Intrapersonal communication plays a very important role in our lives. Proper intrapersonal communication allows you to understand yourself better. When you’re comfortable with who you are, and you know what you want, you can better get on with yourself. Also, intrapersonal communication helps you to keep an eye on your thoughts and feelings. When you find that your mind is full of negative thoughts and feelings, and they make you sad, you will try to cheer up and get rid of (摆脱) these unhappy thoughts and feelings. What’s more, intrapersonal communication helps with your communication with others. Understanding your thoughts and feelings better allows you to put yourself in others’ shoes when you talk to or listen to them.

They are very small and there could be hundreds of them on or in a very small thing. Germs are always found in dirty water. When you look at dirty water under the microscope, you will see them in it. So your parents will not let you drink dirty water. Germs are found not only in dirty water, they are also found in air and dust (灰尘).

There are many types of costume in Chinese history, such as cheongsam, Chinese Tang costume and Zhongshan costume. They are very famous and popular in the world. Nowadays more and more people begin to pay attention to another costume—Hanfu. Hanfu, or Han Chinese clothing, is the traditional clothing of the Han people. It has a history of more than three thousand years. The Han people regard it as a very important part of their culture. According to the old story, the first person to wear Hanfu was Huangdi. His wife (妻子) was said to be the first to know how to make silk, of which Hanfu was made. Since the Shang Dynasty, Hanfu has changed with the times. However, it still keeps its own styles. For example, Hanfu doesn’t have buttons (扣子), instead, it has a sash (腰带) for people to keep the clothes closed. And people usually overlap (使重叠) the right side of the clothes with the left side. Now many young Chinese people show great love and interest in Hanfu. They wear Hanfu on different occasions. Wearing Hanfu is a new fashion across the country as people’s hope for traditional Chinese culture has come back. 44．How many kinds of clothes are mentioned (被提及)? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 45．Which paragraph shows what the style of Hanfu is? A．Paragraph 1. B．Paragraph 2. C．Paragraph 3. D．Paragraph 4. 46．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Hanfu was usually made of cotton. B．Hanfu has changed its styles with the times. C．It’s a new fashion to wear Hanfu. D．Old people were interested in silk clothing. Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·安徽合肥·期末） Chinese people have their own ideas when buying gifts for their family members or friends. When it is a baby, people usually buy some children’s clothes, shoes or gloves. But when it comes to some old people, something useful for them should be great. Milk, fruits or some healthy food would be highly welcomed. As for friends, something meaningful is a good choice, such as a box of chocolate or candies. It is not easy to think of something special for all situations. So very often if it is not of any special visit, some flowers would be good enough. It’s important to know that giving someone gifts should not be a one-way business. When you get the gift from others, you should find a chance in the future to show your thanks by buying a gift the next time you meet. You can do so just by either paying a visit with a gift or offer a meal outside. Don’t mind it if your friend doesn’t open your present the moment he gets it. Chinese people usually think opening the present in front of you would be not good, so they probably open it after you leave. However, Chinese people are less serious about gift-giving than they used to. So, don’t worry too much when you visit a Chinese friend or family. Maybe your unusual idea would give them a lot of surprises. 47．What could Lisa buy if she wants to visit her friend’s new baby? A．Chocolate. B．Milk. C．Gloves. D．Flowers. 48．According to (根据) paragraph 3, how can people show their thanks if they get gifts from others? A．Offer a meal. B．Pay for the gifts. C．Say “Thank you”.

D．Opening the gift after you leave. Passage 3 （24-25八年级下·安徽六安·期末） Weekends, air conditioners (空调), takeouts (外卖) … These are common things for modern people. Have you ever wondered whether ancient people enjoyed the same lifestyle? No weekends In ancient China, there were no “weekends” because people did not use a weekly calendar. But they could still relax after work. For example, officials (官员) usually worked for 10 days and rested for one day. This day was called xiumu. There were many public holidays in ancient times for common people to rest, such as the Spring Festival, winter solstice (冬至) and Mid-Autumn Festival. People even had days off for the emperor’s (皇帝的) birthday. Smart ways of staying cool In ancient times, ______. As early as the Zhou Dynasty, people collected ice in winter. When summer came, people took the ice out and used them. The “bingjian” was a type of ancient fridge. People would put drinks inside and the drinks would become colder. There was a kind of pillow (枕头) made of china that felt pleasantly cool. People also wove bamboo into bed mats (垫子) to sleep on. Takeouts not a new thing The takeout is not a new thing. According to history books, Eanperor Xiaozong asked his men to go out to pick up dishes. Common people also ordered takeouts. Restaurant waiters would go out into the streets and tell customers which dishes could be ordered. People even had good tools to carry takeout dishes. They have several layers (层) plates made of two layers of china. Hot water could be put between them to keep dishes warm. 50．On which days can common people rest in ancient China? ①weekends    ②xiumu    ③winter solstice    ④the emperor’s birthday A．①② B．②③ C．①④ D．③④ 51．Which of the following is the best to fill in the blank “________”?

Now let’s have a look. The gestation period (孕期) of mother elephants is very long, about 22 months. Then they give birth to huge babies who are around 200 pounds. And that’s just the start of elephant parenting. Baby elephants can’t see well at first, so they stay close to their mothers for the first few months of their lives. And they will learn important things from their mothers, like looking for food and staying safe. Mother orangutans (褐猿) are more special than other animal mothers. For example, they usually build new houses in trees every night. Besides, their babies will stay with them for many years. Baby orangutans depend on their mothers longer than any other land animal. Octopuses reproduce only once in their lives and can lay up to 100,000 eggs. Mothers protect the eggs as long as possible — scientists even see one deep-sea octopus protect her eggs for 53 months. 53．If an elephant mother is pregnant (怀孕的) with a baby in May, 2025, when may she give birth to her baby? A．In December, 2025. B．In March, 2026. C．In May, 2026.

A．Animals’ Homes B．Cute Baby Animals C．Funny Lives of Animals D．Great Animal Mothers Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·安徽合肥·期末） It’s commonly said that flying is safer than riding a bus or train. While this is true, flying still has some risks. One risk is bird strikes (击)—when a plane hits a bird while flying. Bird strikes usually happen when a plane is taking off or landing. In 2022, there were 16,960 animal strikes in the US and most of them were bird strikes. Although most bird strikes do not damage (破坏) planes, some can be very serious. In 2009, US Airways Flight 1549 hit a group of birds after taking off. Both of its engines (引擎) stopped working, and the plane had to land on the Hudson River in New York City. Big birds can cause a lot of damage, but even small birds can break windows. Sadly, bird strikes almost always end up killing the birds. To stop bird strikes, airports use many ways. For example, some use loud sounds to drive birds away, and others remove birds’ food source (来源) and homes by covering grassy areas. However, birds can get used to loud sounds, and covering green land is bad for the environment. Now, airports are trying new ideas. At Salt Lake City Airport, people let pigs eat the eggs of nearby birds. At Southwest Florida Airport, people use dogs to drive birds away. Some airports even use special ways to find birds. With these new ideas, people hope to keep birds away from planes and make flying safer in the future. 57．When do bird strikes usually happen? A．When a plane is flying above clouds. B．When a plane is flying near grassy areas. C．When a plane is taking off or landing. D．When a plane is preparing to take off. 58．Why did the writer write Paragraph 3? A．To explain how bird strikes happen. B．To introduce the dangers of bird strikes. C．To show how airports try to stop bird strikes. D．To tell most bird strikes do not damage planes. 59．What does the underlined word “remove” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Tidy up B．Search for C．Take away D．Give away 60．How does Salt Lake City Airport stop bird strikes? A．By using dogs to drive birds away. B．By letting pigs eat the eggs of birds. C．By using special ways to find birds. D．By making loud sounds to drive birds away. 61．What’s the best title for the passage? A．The Safety of Flying B．New Ideas at Airports C．The Danger of Birds near Airports D．Bird Strikes and Ways to Stop Them 主题07 人与社会——发明与创造 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·安徽亳州·期末） If you travel by plane in Thailand, you might see some artistic pictures showing lovely cartoon cats from the air. The photo above is one of them. It was taken in December of 2023. In the photo, you can see a cute sleeping cat with a fish. You must wonder how the pictures came into being.

It is the home to over 400 species (物种) like the Chinese sturgeon (中华鲟). The Chinese sturgeon is one of the largest fish in the world and it’s long. A Chinese sturgeon can grow up to about 5m long, over 500kg and live to be 40 years old. They’ve lived on the earth for about 140, 000, 000 years, so people call them a “living fossil (化石)”. The Chinese sturgeon was common in the river before. However, it's in danger now. Fishing too much in the 1970s made the species fewer and fewer. And in 1981, the building of the Gezhouba Dam put the sturgeon into two groups. The two groups could not get together. As a result, the species became even fewer, So the help for the Chinese sturgeon is very necessary. Luckily, China already took action. On May 14th, 2020, Shanghai passed a new rule to help the Chinese sturgeon. This was the first rule in the country to help one fish in danger. From January 2020, the country also started to stop people from fishing in the Yangtze River. It will last (持续) for ten years. We believe the Chinese sturgeon will become more and more. We should also play a part in saving the species in danger. 8．From Paragraph 1, we can know about the common ________ of the Chinese sturgeon.

Chinese scientists discovered this using Zhurong, China’s first Mars rover (探测器). To collect data (数据), the rover sends radio waves 80 meters into the ground. When these waves hit something important, they let the rover know about it. From the data, scientists found special rock layers (岩层) on Mars. The layers are 10 to 35 meters thick and about 1.3 kilometers long. These rock layers are like the ones near beaches on Earth. Their shape shows that water movement, not wind, probably made the layers. That’s why scientists think the rock layers might be an ancient shoreline. For many years, scientists talked about if there was a large sea in the northern area of Mars. With the new data, scientists think that Mars had a large sea about 3.5 to 4 billion years ago. The sea known as Deuteronilus covered about half of Mars. At that time, the red planet’s air was thicker and its weather was warmer. All this makes us think that there might have been life on Mars in the past. 21．How does Zhurong collect data? A．By collecting waves on Mars. B．By looking into sand on the ground. C．By hitting the rock layers on Mars. D．By sending radio waves into the ground. 22．What does the underlined word “shoreline” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．A line near the forests. B．A line where land meets water. C．A line made by radio waves. D．A line that can create wind. 23．What can we learn about Deuteronilus from the last paragraph? A．It took up about half of Mars. B．It was a large rock on Mars. C．It lay in the southern area of Mars. D．It made the red planet’s air thin. 24．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To explain how scientists invented Zhurong. B．To describe the weather conditions on Mars. C．To introduce the discovery of a sea on Mars. D．To compare beaches on Mars with those on Earth. 【答案】21．D 22．B 23．A 24．C 【导语】本文介绍了中国祝融号火星探测器的最新发现，科学家们通过探测数据推测火星上可能曾有海洋和海岸线，甚至可能存在生命。 21．细节理解题。根据第二段“To collect data, the rover sends radio waves 80 meters into the ground”可知，祝融号通过向地下发射无线电波收集数据。故选D。 22．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Their shape shows that water movement, not wind, probably made the layers”可知，这些岩层由水的流动形成，因此“shoreline”指的是水与陆地相接的线，即海岸线。故选B。 23．细节理解题。根据第四段“The sea known as Deuteronilus, covered about half of Mars”可知，Deuteronilus是一个曾经覆盖了火星约一半面积的巨大海洋。故选A。 24．主旨大意题。文章围绕祝融号发现的岩层和科学家的分析，推测火星古代曾存在海洋甚至生命，目的是介绍在火星上发现古海洋的研究成果。故选C。 Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·安徽宿州·期末） AI, short for Artificial Intelligence (人工智能), is becoming more and more common in our life.

Well, it can affect where we go, what we do, and what we wear. And it also affects how we feel. It is a big part of our lives! We often use the weather to describe (描述) how we feel. For example, if we are feeling ill, we say we are “under the weather”. If we are feeling stressed (有压力的) and busy, we can say that we are “snowed under”. We use the “bad” weather (rainy, cold, etc.) to describe a bad feeling, and the “good” weather (sunny, warm, etc.) to describe a good feeling. And that is not all. The weather can even change the way we feel! For example, the sunlight helps our body to produce (产生) vitamin D．Vitamin D can improve our feelings. But some parts of the world get less sunlight in winter. So people feel very sad. However, when it is hot, people may get angry easily too! Scientists are still studying how the weather changes people’s feelings and behaviors (行为). If we spend too much time at home, we can’t get enough fresh air or sunlight. It can make us feel down.

You may ask, “What happened?” Well, when a rabbit sees something dangerous, it runs away. Its tail (尾巴) moves up and down as it runs. When the other rabbits see this tail moving up and down, they run too. They know that there is danger. The rabbit tells them something without making a sound. It gives them a signal—that gives others information. Many other animals use this kind of language. When a bee (蜜蜂) finds some food, it goes back to its home. It cannot tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little dance in the air. This tells the bees where the food is. Some animals say things by making sounds. A dog barks (犬吠) when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs (喵喵叫) when it feels pleased. Some birds make several different sounds, each with its own meaning. But man has something that no animal has—a large number of words about things, actions, feelings or ideas. We are able to give each other information, to tell other people what is in our mind or how we feel. By writing words down we can remember the things that happened, or send messages to people far away. No animal can do this. No animal has the wonderful power of language. No one knows how man learned to make words. Man, however, learned to make them. As hundreds of years went by, man made more and more new words. This is what we mean by language. Today there are about 1.5 thousand different languages in the world. But we don’t know all these. We should try to make our vocabulary (词汇量) larger. Read as many books as possible. 根据短文内容选择最佳答案。 39．The underlined word “signal” in the passage means “________” in English. A．nickname B．mark C．cue 40．From the passage, we can learn ________. A．if a rabbit moves its tail up and down, it means it feels excited B．a bee tells others something dangerous by speaking to them C．some of the animals like dogs and cats say things by making sounds 41．According to the passage, ________. A．a cat purrs when it feels pleased B．a bee does a little dance to tell what the food is C．a dog barks when it has fun 42．Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

C．There are about 1,500 different languages in the world. 43．The passage is mainly about ________. A．why animals have no words B．the difference between humans and animals C．how humans and animals give information 【答案】39．C 40．C 41．A 42．B 43．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了动物之间交流和人类之间交流的不同方式，以及语言在人类交流中的重要性。 39．词句猜测题。根据“When the other rabbits see this tail moving up and down, they run too. They know that there is danger.”和“that gives others information.”可知，兔子通过尾巴上下移动给其他兔子发出信号，提示其他兔子有危险。划线单词的意思是“信号，暗号”，与cue意思相近。故选C。 40．细节理解题。根据“A dog barks when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs when it feels pleased.”可知，有些动物，比如狗和猫，通过发出声音来交流信息。故选C。 41．细节理解题。根据“A cat purrs when it feels pleased.”可知，猫高兴时就会发出呼噜声。故选A。 42．细节理解题。根据“No one knows how man learned to make words.”可知，科学家不知道人类是如何学会造词的。故选B。 43．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了动物之间不同的交流方式以及人类使用语言交流的方式，即人类和动物如何交流并给出信息的。故选C。 主题01 人与自然——环境保护 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·安徽芜湖·期末） Feeling hot? So is the earth. Because of problems like climate changes and bad ways of farming, much of the planet’s land is drying up. What can we do to solve this problem? One thing the United Nations did was to create a holiday. In 1994, the UN started World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought (世界防治荒漠化和干旱日), to let more people know about desertification. It is on June 17 every year. Desertification happens when healthy land—land full of water and nutrients (营养)—becomes deserts, which are dry and unhealthy. Every year, 20,000 to 50,000 square kilometers of the earth’s land is lost to desertification. In Africa, scientists expect that two thirds of Africa’s healthy land will be lost by 2025. Desertification sometimes happens because of the climate change, as big, fast changes in temperature can kill plants and trees. However, it also happens because people use land too much, and in bad ways, to grow food on their farms. Growing too many plants in the same soil (土壤), in too short a time, can take away the soil’s nutrients faster than the soil can make new ones. That can turn the soil into dry sand, like a desert. The UN suggests (建议) some different actions to stop desertification. One is to teach people better ways of farming, including the use of better fertilizers (肥料). Another is reforestation which means planting more trees. One country that has done a lot of that is China. Today China has 61 million hectares (公顷) of reforested land—more than anywhere else in the world. 1．Which of the following can cause (导致) desertification? A．Using land too much. B．Reforestation. C．The use of better fertilizers. D．Water control. 2．Why is the climate change bad for desertification according to the passage? A．Because it is getting colder and colder so that plants can’t grow. B．Because it is getting hotter and hotter so that plants can’t grow. C．Because it doesn’t rain as it used to. D．Because big, fast changes in temperature can kill plants. 3．What’s the last paragraph probably about? A．The use of better fertilizers. B．The better ways of farming. C．China’s plans for planting more trees. D．The UN’s advice on fighting desertification. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，围绕土地沙漠化问题展开，介绍了世界防治荒漠化和干旱日的由来，阐述了沙漠化的定义、原因以及联合国提出的应对建议等。 1．细节理解题。根据“However, it also happens because people use land too much, and in bad ways, to grow food on their farms.”可知，过度使用土地会导致土地沙漠化，故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“Desertification sometimes happens because of the climate change, as big, fast changes in temperature can kill plants and trees.”可知，气候变化对沙漠化不利是因为温度的大幅快速变化会杀死植物，故选D。 3．主旨大意题。根据“The UN suggests (建议) some different actions to stop desertification.”可知，最后一段主要讲的是联合国关于对抗沙漠化的建议，故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·安徽芜湖·期末） Have you heard of the three Rs—“Reduce, Reuse, Recycle”?

In the 1970s there were just 1,114 of these animals in China. Now there are 1,864 giant pandas living in 52 protection areas that have been built in recent decades. In fact, several species（物种）that were endangered have seen a surprising comeback in recent decades, thanks to major protection efforts. Besides the giant panda, Yunnan’s snub-nosed monkey（金丝猴）and the crested ibis（朱鹮）are also among these success stories. The crested ibis, for example, was once widespread in east China, Japan, Russia and South Korea, but was later thought to die out. In 1981, seven crested ibises were found in Shanxi Province. Since then, breeding programs have helped its population reach 2,000. China has sent crested ibises to Japan and South Korea in recent years to help the species regenerate（发展壮大）. China has more than 11,800 nature reserves. They account for 18% of China’s total land area. The reserves cover 35 million hectares of forest and 20 million hectares of wetland, and include 85% of the country’s wildlife. 8．The population of pandas is larger than before with the help of _______. A．the living areas B．main protection efforts C．the species rebirth D．breeding programme 9．How many kinds of endangered species are mentioned in the text? A．One. B．Two. C．Three.

They account for 18% of China’s total land area. The reserves cover 35 million hectares of forest and 20 million hectares of wetland, and include 85% of the country’s wildlife.”可知，中国现在有11,8000多个自然保护区，占中国陆地总面积的18%，这些保护区覆盖3,500万公顷的森林和2,000万的湿地，包括全国85%的野生生物。由此可知，我国在保护野生生物方面已经做出了重大的改变。故选D。 主题02 人与社会——景点介绍 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·安徽合肥·期末） A visit to the old city of Petra in Jordan is an amazing experience. Around the city, there are mountains with many pink rocks. To get to the mountains, tourists walk for over a kilometer through a narrow hole in the rock. Then they come to a large building in the side of a cliff (悬崖). Petra has many of these beautiful rock-cut buildings, and they make the city famous. Two thousand years ago, Petra was busy and noisy. People came from far away to buy and sell in the market places. Over 30,000 people once lived there. But the pink rocks didn’t seem as safe as they looked. Earthquakes made many of the buildings fall down. Over time, people stopped to visit and live there. Finally, the world forgot the city of Petra. In 1812, a Swiss traveler called Johann Burckhardt heard about the lost city. Local people told him that it was in the mountains, and someone took him there. When Burckhardt went back to Europe, he wrote about Petra and people started visiting the city. ________ More than a million tourists go there every year.

It’s a great AI that surprises everyone. DeepSeek is really clever. It can answer all kinds of difficult questions. You can ask about geography, like “What is a supermoon?” It will tell you many interesting facts. It’s also great for helping with schoolwork. If you have troubles with a math problem, don’t worry! DeepSeek can show you how to work it out. What’s more, making great AI doesn’t need a lot of capital and a long time. The team spent only $5.58 million for two months. It uses a special way to work well on not-so-strong chips (芯片)and still works very well. How smart the people behind it are! However, DeepSeek isn’t perfect. Sometimes, the answers it gives may not be totally right. Because it gets information from the Internet, and there’s some wrong information there, we can’t always trust its answers. Another problem is about us. If we always rely on (依赖)DeepSeek to answer questions, we will become lazy and stop thinking hard on our own. Our brains (头脑)need to work too! In the end, DeepSeek is a magic tool. It can help us a lot, but we need to use it carefully. We should enjoy the help it gives, but also keep our own thinking active. 31．What does the underlined word “capital” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Time. B．Information. C．Computers. D．Money. 32．Why should we use DeepSeek carefully? A．Because it relies on the Internet. B．Because its answers may be wrong. C．Because it can’t answer difficult questions. D．Because it can keep our brains active. 33．What can we learn from the text? A．Early to bed, early to rise. B．A friend in need is a friend indeed. C．Love me, love my dog. D．Every coin has two sides. 【答案】31．D 32．B 33．D 【导语】本篇文章介绍DeepSeek智能之处与优势，也指出其不足，强调需谨慎使用。 31．词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“What’s more, making great AI doesn’t need a lot of capital and a long time. The team spent only $5.58 million for two months.”可知，这里说团队在两个月花费了558万美元，由此可推测“capital”意思是“钱”，与“Money”意思相符。故选D。 32．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Sometimes, the answers it gives may not be totally right. Because it gets information from the Internet, and there’s some wrong information there, we can’t always trust its answers.”可知，我们要谨慎使用DeepSeek是因为它给出的答案可能不正确。故选B。 33．主旨大意题。文章既介绍了DeepSeek能回答各种难题、帮助完成功课等优点，又提到了它答案可能不准确、过度依赖会使人变懒等缺点，体现了事物都有两面性。故选D。 主题01 人与自然——科普知识 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·安徽亳州·期末） Materials ◇A wide glass jar with a lid ◇Very hot water ◇Some ice ◇A match Very important!

Picture this: Your mom asks you what you would like for breakfast. Many foods come to your mind: pancakes, bread, porridge... Until you tell your mom that you want to eat pancakes, you are communicating with yourself. We call it intrapersonal communication (自我沟通). This can be talking, reading, writing, thinking to ourselves, understanding and remembering something. Intrapersonal communication plays a very important role in our lives. Proper intrapersonal communication allows you to understand yourself better. When you’re comfortable with who you are, and you know what you want, you can better get on with yourself. Also, intrapersonal communication helps you to keep an eye on your thoughts and feelings. When you find that your mind is full of negative thoughts and feelings, and they make you sad, you will try to cheer up and get rid of (摆脱) these unhappy thoughts and feelings. What’s more, intrapersonal communication helps with your communication with others.

There are many types of costume in Chinese history, such as cheongsam, Chinese Tang costume and Zhongshan costume. They are very famous and popular in the world. Nowadays more and more people begin to pay attention to another costume—Hanfu. Hanfu, or Han Chinese clothing, is the traditional clothing of the Han people. It has a history of more than three thousand years. The Han people regard it as a very important part of their culture. According to the old story, the first person to wear Hanfu was Huangdi. His wife (妻子) was said to be the first to know how to make silk, of which Hanfu was made. Since the Shang Dynasty, Hanfu has changed with the times. However, it still keeps its own styles. For example, Hanfu doesn’t have buttons (扣子), instead, it has a sash (腰带) for people to keep the clothes closed. And people usually overlap (使重叠) the right side of the clothes with the left side. Now many young Chinese people show great love and interest in Hanfu. They wear Hanfu on different occasions. Wearing Hanfu is a new fashion across the country as people’s hope for traditional Chinese culture has come back. 44．How many kinds of clothes are mentioned (被提及)? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 45．Which paragraph shows what the style of Hanfu is? A．Paragraph 1. B．Paragraph 2. C．Paragraph 3. D．Paragraph 4. 46．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

When it is a baby, people usually buy some children’s clothes, shoes or gloves. But when it comes to some old people, something useful for them should be great. Milk, fruits or some healthy food would be highly welcomed. As for friends, something meaningful is a good choice, such as a box of chocolate or candies. It is not easy to think of something special for all situations. So very often if it is not of any special visit, some flowers would be good enough. It’s important to know that giving someone gifts should not be a one-way business. When you get the gift from others, you should find a chance in the future to show your thanks by buying a gift the next time you meet. You can do so just by either paying a visit with a gift or offer a meal outside. Don’t mind it if your friend doesn’t open your present the moment he gets it. Chinese people usually think opening the present in front of you would be not good, so they probably open it after you leave. However, Chinese people are less serious about gift-giving than they used to. So, don’t worry too much when you visit a Chinese friend or family. Maybe your unusual idea would give them a lot of surprises. 47．What could Lisa buy if she wants to visit her friend’s new baby? A．Chocolate. B．Milk. C．Gloves. D．Flowers. 48．According to (根据) paragraph 3, how can people show their thanks if they get gifts from others? A．Offer a meal. B．Pay for the gifts. C．Say “Thank you”.

D．Opening the gift after you leave. 【答案】47．C 48．A 49．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国人在不同场合选择礼物的习惯以及送礼文化中的注意事项。 47．细节理解题。根据“When it is a baby, people usually buy some children’s clothes, shoes or gloves.”可知，给新生儿送礼应选择儿童衣服、鞋子或手套。故选C。 48．细节理解题。根据第三段“You can do so just by either paying a visit with a gift or offer a meal outside.”可知，你可以通过带礼物回访或请对方外出吃饭来表达感谢。故选A。 49．词义猜测题。根据“Don’t mind it if your friend doesn’t open your present the moment he gets it. Chinese people usually think opening the present in front of you would be not good, so they probably open it after you leave.”可知，如果你的朋友收到礼物时没有立刻打开，不必介意，他们可能会在你离开后打开。此处的划线单词it指代的是“朋友不立即拆礼物的行为”，即“朋友在你离开后才拆礼物”。故选D。 Passage 3 （24-25八年级下·安徽六安·期末） Weekends, air conditioners (空调), takeouts (外卖) … These are common things for modern people. Have you ever wondered whether ancient people enjoyed the same lifestyle? No weekends In ancient China, there were no “weekends” because people did not use a weekly calendar. But they could still relax after work. For example, officials (官员) usually worked for 10 days and rested for one day. This day was called xiumu. There were many public holidays in ancient times for common people to rest, such as the Spring Festival, winter solstice (冬至) and Mid-Autumn Festival. People even had days off for the emperor’s (皇帝的) birthday. Smart ways of staying cool In ancient times, ______. As early as the Zhou Dynasty, people collected ice in winter. When summer came, people took the ice out and used them. The “bingjian” was a type of ancient fridge. People would put drinks inside and the drinks would become colder. There was a kind of pillow (枕头) made of china that felt pleasantly cool. People also wove bamboo into bed mats (垫子) to sleep on. Takeouts not a new thing The takeout is not a new thing.

People even had days off for the emperor’s (皇帝的) birthday.”可知，古代普通人在冬至和皇帝生日可以休息，故选D。 51．推理判断题。根据“As early as the Zhou Dynasty, people collected ice in winter. When summer came, people took the ice out and used them. The ‘bingjian’ was a type of ancient fridge...People also wove bamboo into bed mats (垫子) to sleep on.”可知，后文介绍的是古代人消暑的方法，所以空白处应填“people had their own good ideas to get through the hot summer”，故选B。 52．词义猜测题。根据“People even had good tools to carry takeout dishes.

Now let’s have a look. The gestation period (孕期) of mother elephants is very long, about 22 months. Then they give birth to huge babies who are around 200 pounds. And that’s just the start of elephant parenting. Baby elephants can’t see well at first, so they stay close to their mothers for the first few months of their lives. And they will learn important things from their mothers, like looking for food and staying safe. Mother orangutans (褐猿) are more special than other animal mothers. For example, they usually build new houses in trees every night. Besides, their babies will stay with them for many years. Baby orangutans depend on their mothers longer than any other land animal. Octopuses reproduce only once in their lives and can lay up to 100,000 eggs. Mothers protect the eggs as long as possible — scientists even see one deep-sea octopus protect her eggs for 53 months. 53．If an elephant mother is pregnant (怀孕的) with a baby in May, 2025, when may she give birth to her baby? A．In December, 2025. B．In March, 2026. C．In May, 2026. D．In March, 2027. 54．Why are mother orangutans special? ①Because they will protect their babies as long as possible. ②Because their babies will stay with them for many years. ③Because they will teach their babies how to look for food and stay safe. ④Because they usually build new houses in trees every night. A．①② B．②③ C．②④ D．①④ 55．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “reproduce” in Paragraph 4? A．Have a break. B．Make a change. C．Give birth. D．Eat food. 56．What’s the best title for this passage? A．Animals’ Homes B．Cute Baby Animals C．Funny Lives of Animals D．Great Animal Mothers 【答案】53．D 54．C 55．C 56．D 【导语】本文介绍了动物世界中三种伟大的母亲。 53．推理判断题。根据“The gestation period (孕期) of mother elephants is very long, about 22 months.”可知，大象孕期大约为22个月。若2025年5月怀孕，会在2027年3月产下宝宝。故选D。 54．细节理解题。根据第三段“they usually build new houses in trees every night. Besides, their babies will stay with them for many years.”可知，它们通常每晚都会在树上搭建新巢。此外，它们的幼崽也会和它们一起生活很多年。故选C。 55．词句猜测题。根据第四段“Octopuses reproduce only once in their lives and can lay up to 100,000 eggs. ” 可知，lay eggs“产卵”，是“reproduce”的具体行为，故“reproduce”意为“繁殖、生育”，与“give birth”同义。故选C。 56．最佳标题题。根据“but I guess you may not know there are also many great mothers in the animal world. Now let’s have a look.”及全文的内容可知，本文介绍了动物世界中三种伟大的母亲，所以D选项“伟大的动物母亲”最符合这篇文章的标题。故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·安徽合肥·期末） It’s commonly said that flying is safer than riding a bus or train. While this is true, flying still has some risks. One risk is bird strikes (击)—when a plane hits a bird while flying. Bird strikes usually happen when a plane is taking off or landing. In 2022, there were 16,960 animal strikes in the US and most of them were bird strikes. Although most bird strikes do not damage (破坏) planes, some can be very serious. In 2009, US Airways Flight 1549 hit a group of birds after taking off. Both of its engines (引擎) stopped working, and the plane had to land on the Hudson River in New York City. Big birds can cause a lot of damage, but even small birds can break windows. Sadly, bird strikes almost always end up killing the birds. To stop bird strikes, airports use many ways. For example, some use loud sounds to drive birds away, and others remove birds’ food source (来源) and homes by covering grassy areas. However, birds can get used to loud sounds, and covering green land is bad for the environment. Now, airports are trying new ideas. At Salt Lake City Airport, people let pigs eat the eggs of nearby birds. At Southwest Florida Airport, people use dogs to drive birds away. Some airports even use special ways to find birds. With these new ideas, people hope to keep birds away from planes and make flying safer in the future. 57．When do bird strikes usually happen? A．When a plane is flying above clouds. B．When a plane is flying near grassy areas. C．When a plane is taking off or landing. D．When a plane is preparing to take off. 58．Why did the writer write Paragraph 3? A．To explain how bird strikes happen. B．To introduce the dangers of bird strikes. C．To show how airports try to stop bird strikes. D．To tell most bird strikes do not damage planes. 59．What does the underlined word “remove” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Tidy up B．Search for C．Take away D．Give away 60．How does Salt Lake City Airport stop bird strikes? A．By using dogs to drive birds away. B．By letting pigs eat the eggs of birds. C．By using special ways to find birds. D．By making loud sounds to drive birds away. 61．What’s the best title for the passage? A．The Safety of Flying B．New Ideas at Airports C．The Danger of Birds near Airports D．Bird Strikes and Ways to Stop Them 【答案】57．C 58．B 59．C 60．B 61．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了飞行中鸟击这一风险，说明其常发生的时段、可能造成的危害，以及机场为阻止鸟击所采用的多种传统和新方法。 57．细节理解题。根据“Bird strikes usually happen when a plane is taking off or landing.”可知，鸟击通常发生在飞机起飞或降落时。故选C。 58．推理判断题。根据“Although most bird strikes do not damage (破坏) planes, some can be very serious. In 2009 ...”可知，第三段通过举例2009年美国航空公司1549航班的情况，说明鸟击可能带来的严重危害，可推断作者写第三段的目的是为了介绍鸟击的危险性。故选B。 59．词句猜测题。根据“others remove birds’ food source (来源) and homes by covering grassy areas”可知，有些机场通过覆盖草地来转移鸟类的食物来源和家园，可猜测划线词remove的意思是“移除”，与Take away“拿走”的意思相近。故选C。 60．细节理解题。根据“At Salt Lake City Airport, people let pigs eat the eggs of nearby birds.”可知，盐湖城机场通过让猪吃附近鸟类的蛋来阻止鸟击。故选B。 61．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要围绕鸟击现象以及机场阻止鸟击的方法展开，选项D“鸟击及阻止它们的方法”能很好概括文章主旨，为最佳标题。故选D。 主题07 人与社会——发明与创造 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·安徽亳州·期末） If you travel by plane in Thailand, you might see some artistic pictures showing lovely cartoon cats from the air.
