Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·河北邢台·期末）阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusics”. People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes. Amusic people often can’t tell the differences between two songs. As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. That’s because most people can’t understand what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a bar or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in social loneliness. “I used to hate parties,” says Mary, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Mary, scientists are finally learning how to identify (辨别) this unusual condition. Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from those of people who can enjoy music. The difference is complex (复杂的), and it is not connected with poor hearing. Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding common speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors. Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). For years, Mary felt embarrassed about her music problem. Now she knows that she is not alone. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say ‘______.’” says Mary. 1．What are amusic people? 2．Why is life hard for amusics? 3．What did Mary use to hate? 4．What causes amusics different from most people in the scientists’ opinion? 5．What may Mary say in the blank of the last paragraph? 【答案】1．They are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes. 2．Because most people can’t understand what it feels like to be amusic. 3．Parties. 4．Their brains. 5．I’d love to, but I’m amusic. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“amusics（音盲）”，这类人天生无法欣赏音乐，科学家研究发现其大脑与能欣赏音乐的人不同，很多音盲在确诊后会感觉好一些。 1．根据“People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes.”可知，音盲天生就没有欣赏音符的能力。故填They are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes. 2．根据“Life can be hard for amusics. That’s because most people can’t understand what it feels like to be amusic.”可知，对于音盲来说，生活可能会很艰难。这是因为大多数人无法理解音盲的感受。故填Because most people can’t understand what it feels like to be amusic. 3．根据“I used to hate parties”可知，玛丽过去讨厌派对。故填Parties. 4．根据“Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from those of people who can enjoy music.”可知，科学家认为是大脑的差异导致音盲与大多数人不同。故填Their brains. 5．因为玛丽是音盲，无法欣赏音乐，所以当别人邀请她去音乐会时，她可能会说明自己的情况并拒绝，答案合理即可。参考答案为：I’d love to, but I’m amusic. 主题01 科学技术 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·河北廊坊·期末）阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 With AI technology developing quickly, more students are using AI tools like homework helpers and language apps.

Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·河北沧州·期末）On January 20, 2025, a Chinese company named DeepSeek made a new AI called DeepSeek-R1. This AI can do math problems, write computer codes, and answer questions like the best AIs in the world. But it costs much less money to build. The team used only $5.58 million (much cheaper than other AIs) and 2,048 computer parts for two months. This shows that smart ideas are better than just spending a lot of money. DeepSeek-R1 is free to use for individuals (个人), and people can even change it. On its first day, more than 19,000 computer experts around the world started using it. A German scientist said, “Using R1 experiments costs only $10, but other AIs need $300.”Even a top scientist from Meta (a big U. S. company) said, “This free AI could change the world.” U.S. companies are now worried. They say China is becoming a leader in AI very fast. Meta plans to spend $65 billion (十亿) more on AI research. A report in Nature (a famous science magazine) called R1 a “big success”, showing that good ideas are more important than expensive tools. A DeepSeek engineer said, “We want AI to help everyone, not just rich people.” Not only DeepSeek-R1,now we have KimiAI, DJI drone, Unitree Robotics and so on. With R1 and other high-technology products, China shows to the world that great things come from new ideas and hard work, not just money. 1．How many computer experts around the world started using DeepSeek-R1 on its first day? 2．What can DeepSeek-R1 do? 3．Why are U.S. companies worried about DeepSeek-R1? 4．What does China show to the world with R1 and other high-technology products? 5．Do you think AIs will change the way people work or study?

Now around half of the world’s population lives in cities. Do you know what the life will be like by 2050? The world’s population will be more than eight billion. The cities will get even more crowded! This will put more pressure on the earth. We need to come up with new ways to build houses, travel and make energy. As we all know, climate change and pollution are the two biggest challenges in the future. Today, the world still depends on fossil fuel (化石燃料) such as coal and oil too much for energy. That is not good for the environment. The scientists are coming together to solve the problems. Wind energy is clear and does little harm to the environment. With the new materials (材料), wind turbines (风力发电机) are much bigger and manage to produce more energy now. The scientists are also working on making solar panels (太阳能电池板) lighter so that we can probably power our planes and cars with sunlight in a few years! “Besides, we are also recycling CO₂, the main cause of climate warming. By using CO₂ as a new material, we’ve already successfully made sports floors, car parts and clothes. This technology can help make the cities of the future environmentally friendly,” one scientist told us. The scientists in the world are working hard to get ready for the future.

It is about 300 km from Beijing. “Saihan” means “beautiful” and “ba” means “highlands”, so Saihanba means “beautiful highlands”. For hundreds of years, the emperors (皇帝) went there to hunt (打猎). But in the 1800s, things began to change. Because of forest fires, wars and the cutting down of trees, Saihanba slowly turned into a desert. When the forest disappeared, there were terrible sandstorms in the Beijing area. In the early 1960s, a group of scientists came to Saihanba. They did their best to solve the problem but got nothing. Until one day, an old tree in the middle of the desert made them come up with an idea. “Maybe we can still plant trees here.” they thought. In 1962, the first tree planters arrived at Saihanba. The cold and dry weather made their work very difficult, and strong winds blew away many young trees. In winter, temperatures dropped as low as -40℃. Even with these difficulties, three generations (代) of forest workers continued the hard work. Thanks to them, Saihanba became green again. It is the world’s largest man-made forest today. In 2007, the government named Saihanba as one of the most important national nature parks in China. In 2017, Saihanba received the Champions (卫士) of the Earth Award (奖). In 2021, it received the Land for Life Award from the UN Environment Programme. Now, Saihanba is home to hundreds of millions of trees. The forest offers clean water to Beijing and has helped cut down on sandstorms in the area. Every year, especially in summer and autumn, more and more tourists come to Saihanba to enjoy the beauty of its forest.

The Chinese video game Black Myth: Wukong made the classic story Journey to the West popular around the world in 2024. In fact, people around the world have loved the story of the monkey Sun Wukong (Monkey King) for a long time. ②British sinologist (汉学家) Arthur Waley brought the story to many English people in the 1940s.

People everywhere can understand Sun Wukong, who breaks the rules of Heaven and tries to get free from the hand of the great Buddha (佛). As the writer Li Tianfei told China Daily, the experience of Sun Wukong and his friends is more than a Chinese classical story. “At its heart, Journey to the West is about growing up and being free,” Li said. ④Sun Wukong’s journey is a lot like the stories of heroes in Western cultures, such as Spiderman from Western classical stories.

His story shows us about being brave and doing the right things—things all people understand and love to see. This is why people all over the world like to create new stories about Sun Wukong.

Amusic people often can’t tell the differences between two songs. As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. That’s because most people can’t understand what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a bar or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in social loneliness. “I used to hate parties,” says Mary, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Mary, scientists are finally learning how to identify (辨别) this unusual condition. Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from those of people who can enjoy music. The difference is complex (复杂的), and it is not connected with poor hearing. Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding common speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors. Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). For years, Mary felt embarrassed about her music problem. Now she knows that she is not alone. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say ‘______.’” says Mary. 1．What are amusic people? 2．Why is life hard for amusics? 3．What did Mary use to hate? 4．What causes amusics different from most people in the scientists’ opinion? 5．What may Mary say in the blank of the last paragraph? 主题01 科学技术 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·河北廊坊·期末）阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 With AI technology developing quickly, more students are using AI tools like homework helpers and language apps. But is this helpful or harmful? Let’s hear different voices. Students’ Experiences Tom, 14: “AI helps me solve math problems step by step. It saves time and makes learning less stressful. Last month, I improved my math grade from B to A with an AI app!” Lily, 13: “I use AI to check English grammar. But sometimes I depend too much on it. Once I asked AI to write a whole essay, and my teacher found out because the words were too advanced for me.” A Teacher’s Opinion Mr. Green (Science teacher): “AI is a great tool if used wisely. It teaches students to ask the right questions. For example, my students used AI to design science projects, but they had to analyze whether the AI suggestions were logical.” A Parent’s Worry Mrs. Chen (Lily’s mother): “I’m worried AI stops kids from thinking by themselves. Last week, Lily couldn’t even solve simple questions without her phone. Real learning needs human effort!” Conclusion AI is like a double-edged sword (双刃剑). It makes learning efficient but may reduce creativity. As society becomes more tech-driven, students must learn to use AI responsibly—neither fearing it nor depending on it blindly. 1．What subject did Tom improve with the help of an AI app? 2．Why did Lily’s teacher find out she used AI for her essay? 3．What did Mr. Green’s students have to do after using AI to design science projects? 4．What is Mrs. Chen’s biggest worry about AI? 5．Do you think AI is good for your study? Why? Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·河北沧州·期末）On January 20, 2025, a Chinese company named DeepSeek made a new AI called DeepSeek-R1. This AI can do math problems, write computer codes, and answer questions like the best AIs in the world. But it costs much less money to build. The team used only $5.58 million (much cheaper than other AIs) and 2,048 computer parts for two months. This shows that smart ideas are better than just spending a lot of money. DeepSeek-R1 is free to use for individuals (个人), and people can even change it. On its first day, more than 19,000 computer experts around the world started using it. A German scientist said, “Using R1 experiments costs only $10, but other AIs need $300.”Even a top scientist from Meta (a big U. S. company) said, “This free AI could change the world.” U.S. companies are now worried. They say China is becoming a leader in AI very fast. Meta plans to spend $65 billion (十亿) more on AI research. A report in Nature (a famous science magazine) called R1 a “big success”, showing that good ideas are more important than expensive tools. A DeepSeek engineer said, “We want AI to help everyone, not just rich people.” Not only DeepSeek-R1,now we have KimiAI, DJI drone, Unitree Robotics and so on. With R1 and other high-technology products, China shows to the world that great things come from new ideas and hard work, not just money. 1．How many computer experts around the world started using DeepSeek-R1 on its first day? 2．What can DeepSeek-R1 do? 3．Why are U.S. companies worried about DeepSeek-R1? 4．What does China show to the world with R1 and other high-technology products? 5．Do you think AIs will change the way people work or study? Why or why not? 主题02 畅想未来 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·河北张家口·期末）Read the passage and answer the questions. Now around half of the world’s population lives in cities. Do you know what the life will be like by 2050? The world’s population will be more than eight billion. The cities will get even more crowded! This will put more pressure on the earth. We need to come up with new ways to build houses, travel and make energy. As we all know, climate change and pollution are the two biggest challenges in the future. Today, the world still depends on fossil fuel (化石燃料) such as coal and oil too much for energy. That is not good for the environment. The scientists are coming together to solve the problems. Wind energy is clear and does little harm to the environment. With the new materials (材料), wind turbines (风力发电机) are much bigger and manage to produce more energy now. The scientists are also working on making solar panels (太阳能电池板) lighter so that we can probably power our planes and cars with sunlight in a few years! “Besides, we are also recycling CO₂, the main cause of climate warming. By using CO₂ as a new material, we’ve already successfully made sports floors, car parts and clothes. This technology can help make the cities of the future environmentally friendly,” one scientist told us. The scientists in the world are working hard to get ready for the future. In the future, the materials will become lighter, smarter and more natural looking. That’s what the scientists are creating at the moment. 1．How will the cities be by 2050? 2．What are the two biggest challenges in the future? 3．How soon can you probably power our planes and cars with sunlight? 4．What have the scientists made by using CO₂ as a new material? 5．Are you more interested in the new energy or the new materials? Why? Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·河北沧州·期末）阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Life in the year 3044 is very different from life in the 21st century. We still do many things you did, but we do them differently.

It was considered to be the best teacher in the old days because man learned a lot from nature like lighting the fire and growing rice. It also provides man with many necessary things for life, such as water, food and so on. Hu, 31, is a pioneer in nature education. He set up an organization five years ago. It offers nature-based programs to children under 12 years old, including many outdoor activities, such as planting trees and watching birds. “Nature is friendly to us if we protect her. And don’t forget that we are all part of nature,” Hu said. The purpose (目的) of nature education is to teach people how to understand, respect and get on well with nature. Here comes the other important teacher—books. People learned from nature and wrote down the experiences in the form of books, because man could record their experiences and thoughts. Books play an important role in our lives. Su Mingjuan, a girl from a poor family in a small village, has finished college and has become a good bank clerk. She volunteers to encourage people to read more. She said, “Without reading books, I can’t have such a wonderful life.” Besides Su, millions of people learn from books and have better lives. Some people ever said, “A book is like a garden carried in the pocket (袋子).” 1．What does the passage mainly talk about? 2．According to Paragraph 2, what skill does nature teach us? (列举一项即可) 3．What’s the purpose of nature education? 4．How did people record their experiences and thoughts according to Paragraph 5? 5．What can you learn from Su Mingjuan’s story? 主题04 环境保护 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·河北唐山·期末）阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Saihanba is a forest park in the north of Hebei. It is about 300 km from Beijing. “Saihan” means “beautiful” and “ba” means “highlands”, so Saihanba means “beautiful highlands”. For hundreds of years, the emperors (皇帝) went there to hunt (打猎). But in the 1800s, things began to change. Because of forest fires, wars and the cutting down of trees, Saihanba slowly turned into a desert. When the forest disappeared, there were terrible sandstorms in the Beijing area. In the early 1960s, a group of scientists came to Saihanba. They did their best to solve the problem but got nothing. Until one day, an old tree in the middle of the desert made them come up with an idea. “Maybe we can still plant trees here.” they thought. In 1962, the first tree planters arrived at Saihanba. The cold and dry weather made their work very difficult, and strong winds blew away many young trees. In winter, temperatures dropped as low as -40℃. Even with these difficulties, three generations (代) of forest workers continued the hard work. Thanks to them, Saihanba became green again. It is the world’s largest man-made forest today. In 2007, the government named Saihanba as one of the most important national nature parks in China. In 2017, Saihanba received the Champions (卫士) of the Earth Award (奖). In 2021, it received the Land for Life Award from the UN Environment Programme. Now, Saihanba is home to hundreds of millions of trees. The forest offers clean water to Beijing and has helped cut down on sandstorms in the area. Every year, especially in summer and autumn, more and more tourists come to Saihanba to enjoy the beauty of its forest. It also becomes home to different plants and wild animals. 1．Why did Saihanba turn into a desert in the 1800s? 2．What made the scientists come up with the idea to solve the problem? 3．When did Saihanba receive the Land for Life Award? 4．What does Saihanba offer to Beijing? 5．What can you learn from the Saihanba workers?

Passage 10 （24-25八年级下·河北张家口·期末）阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Imagine you are walking through deep snow. As you walk, you leave marks where you’ve been. That’s what happens when we use technology, such as computers, mobile phones and tablets. We leave our digital footprint (数字足迹) and it will never disappear. Here are reasons why your digital footprint is important to you. It may influence how others see you. Even if you think you have nothing to hide, but if people get information about you, they might judge (评判) you by the information you have left online. For example, you tell a bad joke online. Years later, when the university you are applying (申请) to sees it, they might not think it’s funny. They may decide you are not the “right” kind of person for them. Future teachers could also search for your online history. It may leak your personal information. Not everything can be shared with everyone. For example, you might share your school reports with your parents, but don’t want your e-friends to know. If you share them on the Internet, everyone will know. Once posted, it’s hard to cut out. So, always share less personal information online to stay safe. You may lose your money because of it. There are many people looking at information about you, and some of them want to steal from you. So if you write bank information or card numbers in e-mails or text messages, you may lose your money. Remember: No one can go online without leaving his digital footprint-but with care, you can control (控制) it. Think before you post, and ask yourself, “Would I want everyone to see this?” 1．When do people leave digital footprints? 2．What may happen if a university sees your bad joke online? 3．What should you do to protect your personal information? 4．Why should you avoid sending bank information through e-mails? 5．Are you afraid to go online after knowing about digital footprint? Why or why not? Passage 11 （24-25八年级下·河北邯郸·期末）Although the panda is one of the best-known, best-loved and cutest animals in the world, it lives a solitary (独居的) life.
