专题08 阅读理解（记叙文）30篇 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·浙江湖州·期末）My son Nick was tired of traveling. When we arrived at our final stop in Paris, he just wanted to go home. He frowned (皱眉) as he watched me dance around our hotel room. I was excited because I successfully booked a table at L’Ami Louis, a restaurant I’d dreamed of visiting. Michael, my husband, wasn’t as excited. “Another overpriced French meal,” he complained (抱怨), “my wallet is crying.” Finally, they both agreed to go. Nick’s eyes lit up when he saw the golden French fries at the restaurant. “It might be okay,” he said to himself. The waiter noticed him and brought a huge plate of fries. “I guess I’m going to like it here,” Nick said. “Isn’t that Carole Bouquet?” Michael pointed to a family sitting with a boy about Nick’s age. The woman looked a lot like the famous French actress, but it was hard to tell in the dark restaurant. “Maybe,” I said, “film people love this place.” The waiter then appeared with our food. After setting the plate down, he said something to Nick. He pointed, and Nick followed the boy from Carole’s table out the door. “Don’t worry, madam,” the waiter said, “it’s just a game for the neighborhood kids.” I couldn’t see the boys until the waiter brought in a chocolate cake. They sat together to enjoy the cake, like old friends now. And we were making our own friends while enjoying the food. The restaurant had become a dinner party. It was late when the evening ended. “That,” Nick said, “is a very fine restaurant.” “But you only ate fries and cake,” I pointed out. “Who cares? The boy I met was everything,” he replied, “can we go back to L’Ami Louis tomorrow?” 1．Which is the correct time order of the following events? ①The family arrived at their hotel in Paris. ②Nick followed a boy out of the restaurant. ③The boys shared a chocolate cake together. ④Michael noticed a woman who looked like Carole Bouquet. A．①③④② B．①④②③ C．④①③② D．④③①② 2．Why did Michael complain about going to L’Ami Louis at first? A．He wanted to go back to the hotel early. B．He lost his wallet on his way to L’Ami Louis. C．He thought the French meal was too expensive. D．He didn’t like the environment of the restaurant. 3．How did Nick’s feelings change in the story? A．From tired to angry. B．From excited to relaxed. C．From scared to bored. D．From uninterested to happy. 4．What mainly makes Nick think “That is a very fine restaurant”? A．A delicious meal with his family. B．A nice talk with the friendly waiter. C．A wonderful evening with the new friend. D．A special menu other restaurants don’t offer. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者一家在巴黎旅行时，儿子尼克最初因疲惫而对旅行感到厌倦，但在作者预定的L’Ami Louis餐厅中，通过品尝美食和结识新朋友，他的情绪发生了积极转变的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据“When we arrived at our final stop in Paris, he just wanted to go home.”以及“He frowned (皱眉) as he watched me dance around our hotel room.”可知，①“一家人到达巴黎的酒店”是第一个事件；根据“Michael pointed to a family sitting with a boy about Nick’s age. The woman looked a lot like the famous French actress…”可知，④“Michael注意到一个长得像Carole Bouquet的女人”是第二个事件；根据“He pointed, and Nick followed the boy from Carole’s table out the door.”可知，②“Nick跟着一个男孩走出了餐厅”是第三个事件；根据“I couldn’t see the boys until the waiter brought in a chocolate cake. They sat together to enjoy the cake…”可知，③“男孩们一起分享了一块巧克力蛋糕”是第四个事件。因此，正确的时间顺序是①④②③，故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Another overpriced French meal,” he complained (抱怨), “my wallet is crying.”可知，Michael一开始抱怨去L’Ami Louis是因为他认为法国餐太贵了。因此，选项C“他认为法国餐太贵了”正确。故选C。 3．推理判断题。文章开头提到Nick对旅行感到厌倦，对去餐厅也不感兴趣，但后来在餐厅里他遇到了新朋友，一起玩游戏、分享蛋糕，最终改变了态度，认为这是一家很棒的餐厅。因此，Nick的感情变化是从不感兴趣到开心，选项D“从不感兴趣到开心”符合题意。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据文章中的描述“Who cares? The boy I met was everything” he replied, “can we go back to L’Ami Louis tomorrow?”可知，Nick认为这是一家很棒的餐厅主要是因为他在那里遇到了新朋友，度过了一个愉快的晚上。因此，选项C“和新朋友一起度过的美好夜晚”正确。故选C。 Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·浙江绍兴·期末）.

On April 12, a group of campers in a California forest heard a crying noise. They found a small black baby bear that was alone. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife kept an eye on the bear. When the mother didn’t return, they took him to the Ramona Wildlife Center. The baby bear was in bad shape. He was 2 to 3 months old, and he hadn’t eaten for several days. Workers at the center weren’t sure if he would survive. But they did what they could. They looked after him carefully, feeding him several times a day, and even at night. Soon he began to improve and put on weight. He’s now nearly 10 pounds heavier than when he arrived. Nowadays, the workers are trying to keep him as wild as possible. That means they can’t let him get used to humans. When the workers are around the baby bear, they wear a bear mask (面罩), a big bear coat and they wear thick gloves (手套), and try not to let the bear see or smell their bodies. They even try to make their special clothes smell like a real black bear. Workers also try to teach the baby bear the skills he’ll need to live on his own. They’ve set up an indoor and outdoor area for the baby bear to live in and experience. They’ve made the areas as natural as possible.

But they did what they could. They looked after him carefully, feeding him several times a day, and even at night.”可知，该段主要描述了工作人员如何照顾小熊，包括喂食和监测恢复过程。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“and he hadn’t eaten for several days”和“Workers at the center weren’t sure...”可知，由于好几天没吃东西，工作人员不确定它是否能存活下来。survive意为“存活”，与选项C意思相近。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“Nowadays, the workers are trying to keep him as wild as possible.”和“The center hopes the baby bear can be set free in the wild in about a year.”可知，中心的工作人员打扮成熊是为了保持小熊的自然野性，便于未来放归野外。故选B。 4．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章整体围绕工作人员救助小熊并尽可能保持其野性展开，包括穿戴熊装、教授生存技能等，目的是为放归野外做准备。选项D“保持小熊的野性”直接概括全文核心内容，最适合当标题。故选D。 Passage 7 （24-25八年级下·浙江金华·期末）. ①After a week of rain, we finally had a comfortable and beautiful summer day outside. My husband was driving to a nearby town when my daughter found a yard sale. We saw old toys, a couple of guitars, huge piles of clothes and even a piece of furniture or two for sale. Best of all, we saw lots of smiling people talking, laughing, sitting and standing in the sunshine. ②Seeing all of this brought back memories of my childhood. Most of my clothes back then came from yard sales. My mom was quite a good yard sale shopper. ③I used to hate going to yard sales until one day when I saw some old books there. After that, I always browsed (翻阅) the books until it was time to go. Sometimes my mom would buy one for me. Soon a large part of my home library came from yard sale books because they were cheaper than new ones. ④Why do we have yard sales? We drop our old things and we buy “new” old things. But it certainly isn’t for the money. ▲ We talk and catch up with old friends and new neighbors. We connect with kindness and our love for all the old things. ⑤Another reason is that sales teach us something about life. We can’t really own anything here, after all.

When Jenny was 14, her family moved to the Amazon to build a research station called Panguana. There, Jenny learned how to live in the rainforest, like how to find food and water, and how to stay safe from dangerous animals. On December 24, 1971, 17-year-old Jenny was on a plane. She was going to the Panguana Biological Station in Peru with her mother. It was a common journey at first. However, the plane broke apart in the air. You can imagine Jenny’s fear! Jenny amazingly survived (幸存) the fall from nearly 10,000 feet. She was still tied to her seat by a seatbelt at that time. After the accident, Jenny was left alone and badly hurt in the middle of the Peruvian rainforest. She only had one shoe and a broken skirt. The rainforest was very dangerous, with snakes hiding in the dead leaves on the ground. She remembered what her parents taught her and started walking. She followed a river because she thought it was safer. The weather was terrible: very hot during the day, very cold at night, and heavy rain often made things harder. She only ate candy until it was gone. After nine days’ walking through the dangerous rainforest, she found a camp by accident. Workers there helped her and took her to a village. Then, she flew on a plane to a hospital. Jenny was the only person who lived from the accident.

However, the plane broke apart in the air. You can imagine Jenny’s fear!”可知，一开始旅程平常，Jenny的状态是平静的，飞机解体后变得害怕，所以是从平静到害怕。故选B。 3．主旨大意题。结合三四段内容可知，第三段讲Jenny坠机后在雨林中，凭借父母教的技能求生，第四段讲她在雨林中经历恶劣天气、食物短缺，最终找到营地获救的过程，整体是说Jenny如何在雨林中对抗危险，C选项符合。故选C。 4．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲Jenny坠机后在雨林求生，最终获救，是关于在绝望中凭借希望和技能求生的故事，A选项“希望之翼”能体现她在困境中求生的希望。故选A。 Passage 9 （24-25八年级下·浙江绍兴·期末）Last Friday afternoon, I was at a restaurant eating with my family. Just as we finished up, a homeless man came in, clearly very hot from walking outside and clearly hungry. We got up to leave. As we did, he walked past us, sat at the table we’d just left, and started eating the leftover (剩下的) food. We noticed the waiters motioning (示意) to each other to clear the plates away from the table. When we were walking out, we heard someone say, “Excuse me.” It was the man who had sat at our table. He noticed I’d left my wallet behind and was walking towards us to give it back. I said thank you and my husband then ordered him a meal to show our gratitude. While we were walking away and on the drive home, I was explaining to my 6-year-old son what had happened and the importance of helping others, as well as being thankful to have a home to live in and food to eat. Two days later, to my shock, I looked in my wallet for a card and realized I had $50 in there all along. He could easily have taken it, but he didn’t. How I wished I could have given it to the man!

In 1883, an engineer named John Roebling thought of an idea to build a great bridge connecting New York with the Long Island. However, all other bridge experts thought this was an impossible thing. Roebling thought about the bridge all the time and he knew in his heart that it could be done. Finally he managed to make his son Washington, a promising (有前途的) engineer believe that the bridge could be built. The project started well, but only a few months later an accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was badly hurt and couldn’t walk or talk or even move any more. “We told them so.” “Crazy men and their crazy dreams.” “It’s foolish to build such a bridge.” Everyone laughed at them and felt that the project should be stopped since the Roeblings were the only ones who knew how the bridge could be built. However, Washington still had a strong wish to complete the bridge. He tried to encourage his workers, but they wanted to give up. As he lay on his bed in hospital room, he was able to see the sky. It seemed that there was a message for him not to give up. ▲ All he could do was to move one finger and he decided to use his finger. He touched his wife’s arm with that finger, talking to her that he wanted her to call the engineers again. Then he used the same way of tapping (轻拍) her arm to tell the engineers what to do. It seemed foolish but the project was going on again. For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife’s arm, until the bridge was finally completed. Today the grand Brooklyn Bridge stands in wonderfully as a praise to the success of one man’s determination (决心). 1．Why did John Roebling want to build a great bridge? A．Because he wanted to show he was a great engineer. B．Because all other bridge experts thought it was impossible. C．Because he wanted to make Washington learn more from him. D．Because the bridge could connect New York with the Long Island. 2．How did Washington Roebling communicate with the engineers after the accident? A．By writing letters to them. B．By tapping on his wife’s arm. C．By talking to them on the phone. D．By speaking to them face to face. 3．Which of the following sentence can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 5?

As I sat down on my bed, I heard a loud noise — the wooden bed board had broken in half. I was really embarrassed. I might have complained about the poor quality of the bed, but there was a fact that I was too heavy. Standing at 1.72 meters tall, I weighed 95 kilograms. Exercise had never been my thing. What’s worse, my parents always made my plate full of meat-heavy dishes, hoping I would grow strong. However, instead of being strong, all I could do was make my chairs groan (嘎吱声). But perhaps more beds and chairs than ever are now at risk. According to a 2018 study, 50.7% of grown-ups and 19% of schoolchildren (aged 6-17) in China are overweight. Many people say they are too busy to exercise. They also have no time to cook at home and so often eat out. After breaking that poor bed, I decided to lose some pounds. As my busy work often stopped me from exercising at the gym, I tried to stay active in my daily life. This habit has stayed with me. On some days, I ride the ten kilometers home after work. On other days, I take the bus, but I often get off one stop early and walk the rest of the way. On weekends, I usually stay busy with a good clean-up at home. This, along with a healthier diet, has worked for me. I’m now 21 kilograms lighter than I was in high school. You certainly don’t have to break a bed to start your fitness journey. To get into a healthy habit, it’s better to act sooner than later. 1．How much does the writer weigh now? A．57 kg. B．72 kg. C．74 kg. D．95 kg. 2．How did the writer try to stay healthy? A．He took the bus and got off one stop early to walk. B．He rode ten kilometers to work from home every day. C．He often went to the gym to do exercise with friends. D．He only ate healthy food without meat-heavy dishes. 3．The underlined sentence means ________. A．more people like to sit on beds and chairs. B．the quality of beds and chairs is getting worse. C．there are more and more overweight people. D．people don’t know how to look after beds and chairs. 4．What is the main purpose (目的) of the text? A．To share a funny story in high school. B．To explain the reasons for overweight. C．To show his achievements of losing weight. D．To encourage readers to start a health journey. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文作者通过回忆高中开学第一天压坏床板的尴尬经历，引出对中国超重问题的关注。结合自身从95公斤成功减重21公斤的经历，分享了如何在忙碌生活中通过日常活动和健康饮食保持健康。 1．推理判断题。根据“I weighed 95 kilograms.”以及“I’m now 21 kilograms lighter than I was in high school.”可知，95-21=74kg，作者现在74公斤，故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“On other days, I take the bus, but I often get off one stop early and walk the rest of the way.”可知，作者坐公交车，常常提前一站下车，然后走完剩下的路程，故选A。 3．句意猜测题。根据前文作者开学第一天压坏床板，以及坐在椅子上发出嘎吱声，结合“According to a 2018 study, 50.7% of grown-ups and 19% of schoolchildren (aged 6-17) in China are overweight.”可判断，划线句子表示超重人群增多导致家具承压风险增加，故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据“You certainly don’t have to break a bed to start your fitness journey.

My mother encouraged me as my turn was coming. When my name was finally called, I took a deep breath and walked on stage. I carefully put my cello in place and began to play. The deep, rich sound filled the room, and everyone watched quietly. Then, my finger slipped and hit the wrong note. I kept playing as if nothing had happened, but inside, I was worried. I thought to myself, “I’ve just lost my chance.” As soon as I finished, the audience cheered loudly. My mother said that I did well, but I felt disappointed about my mistake. As the last performer finished, the teacher began to announce the winner. I lost hope. To my surprise, the teacher called me again, saying, “You may now come to the stage and accept your award.” I couldn’t believe it! My hard work finally paid off.

Craig is now in his twenties, and he still believes it’s true. He started a group to help kids all over the world at the age of 12. The group is still going strong. How did Craig get started? In seventh grade, he learned something that made him angry. It was about a Pakistani boy who started working in a crayon factory at the age of 4. The child worked 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. He couldn’t go to school or play. He had no freedom at all. Craig compared that with his own life. Laws in Canada said that kids must go to school. Education was free to all kids. But in Pakistan, education was not free. Children from poor families went to work instead of going to school. Feeling this was unfair, Craig and his classmates started “Free The Children”. Their goal was simple: raise money to build schools and give working children education. At first, some kids laughed at them, saying they couldn’t make real change. But Craig didn’t give up. Today, “Free The Children” has more than one million members in 45 countries. Most of them are kids. The money they have raised has helped build more than 500 schools around the world. It also pays for health care in poor places. Now Craig wants more kids to help. He believes every young person can make big changes. “Start small by talking to your teachers and friends. When you take action and gain more confidence (自信), others will join you. It gets easier when you work together.” 1．Why did Craig start “Free The Children”? A．He wanted to become famous. B．He wanted to travel to Pakistan. C．He wanted to play with more children. D．He wanted to help poor kids get education. 2．What is the correct order of the following activities? a. Some kids laughed at Craig and his classmates. b. Craig and his classmates started “Free The Children”. c. “Free The Children” helped build more than 500 schools. d. Craig learned a Pakistani boy started working at the age of 4. A．dbac B．abdc C．cbad D．bdac 3．Which of the following words can best describe Craig? A．Kind and helpful. B．Patient and shy. C．Brave and honest. D．Hard-working and careful. 4．What can be the best title for the text? A．A Poor Pakistani Boy B．Small Actions, Big Changes C．Craig’s Wonderful Life D．The Importance of Education 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文介绍了年仅12岁的Craig和他的同学建立了一个基金会，先后帮助世界各地建立了500多所学校，如今，这个机构已经成为世界上最大的青少年互助公益机构。 1．细节理解题。根据“Feeling this was unfair, Craig and his classmates started ‘Free The Children’. Their goal was… give working children education.”可知，他创办该组织是为了帮助贫困儿童获得教育。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“It was about a Pakistani boy who started working in a crayon factory at the age of 4.”；“Feeling this was unfair, Craig and his classmates started ‘Free The Children’.”；“At first, some kids laughed at them,”以及“The money they have raised has helped build more than 500 schools around the world.”可知，先是Craig得知巴基斯坦男孩的经历，再与同学创建了“Free The Children”，随后受到一些嘲笑，最后该组织帮助建起500多所学校。因此，正确顺序是dbac。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“He started a group to help kids all over the world at the age of 12.”可知， Craig关心贫困儿童并积极帮助他们，因此最能体现他性格的是“善良且乐于助人”，故选A。 4．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了青少年通过小小的行动也能带来巨大改变，因此选项B适合作为文章标题。故选B。 Passage 20 （24-25八年级下·浙江杭州·期末）Once upon a time, an elephant and a monkey had a heated conversation. The elephant thought he was the best animal in the forest because he was so strong. “See how big and strong I am!” he said, “Can you pull a tree down?” The monkey believed he was the best because he was so quick. “See how fast I can run and climb!” he said, “Can you climb a tree? Can you hang by your tail from a branch?” At last they went to a clever old owl (猫头鹰). “We cannot agree,” they said, “Could you tell us which is better—to be strong or to be quick?” The owl said to them, “Do just as I told you so that I may find out which of you is greater. Do you see that tall fruit tree across the river? Go and pick the fruit and bring it to me.” So they went to the river but the water ran so quickly that the monkey was afraid. “Get on my back,” said the elephant proudly, “I am big and strong. I am not afraid to swim across a running river.” So the monkey got on the elephant’s back and they soon got across the river. They went on until they came to the tree. It was so tall that the fruit hung high above them. The elephant tried to break the tree down but it was too strong. He tried to reach the fruit with his long nose but it was too high. “Wait a minute,” said the monkey proudly, “I can climb.” He ran quickly up the tree and threw down the rich fruit. The elephant put it into his great mouth. Then they crossed the river and gave the fruit to the owl. “Now,” they asked, “which is better?” “Can anyone tell which is better?” said the owl. “ ▲ One crossed the river and the other took the fruit from the plant.

As usual, he was out cleaning pools all over Florida. Mom always made us wait for him before dinner. I didn’t mind the wait because it meant more time playing basketball with my younger brother. Two years ago, Dad bought us a basketball hoop (篮筐). He put it up on our driveway (车行道). The “court (球场)” wasn’t perfect-just dirt (泥土) and small stones-but we loved it. Every day after school, we practiced different shots. There was something special about playing basketball. When I shot the ball, all my problems seemed to go away. Dad told me he felt the same way about cleaning pools. He said making dirty water clean was like magic. But recently, he looked tired and worried. Many customers stopped paying because of the pandemic (流行病). One evening, Dad came home earlier than usual, looking very tired. “Dad, want to play basketball with us?” I asked. He smiled and said, “Okay, but just for a little while before dinner.” We decided to play H-O-R-S-E. Dad still used his old way of shooting with two hands. My brother and I shot with one hand. Dad was really good. He almost never missed! As the sun went down, we kept playing. Dad missed one easy shot when a bird flew by. I thought maybe he missed on purpose to make my brother happy. Then Mom told us dinner was ready. “Time to eat,” Dad said. “Maybe another game tomorrow.” Inside, we could smell Mom's cheese. My brother kept bouncing the ball until Dad playfully tapped (轻拍) his head. For that short time playing basketball, Dad looked happy again. I wished we could do this every day. When we play together, everything feels perfect-just like when the ball goes straight through the net without touching the rim. 1．How did the writer feel about waiting for his dad before dinner? A．He was angry because he was hungry. B．He thought it was a waste of time. C．He enjoyed it as he could play basketball.

I thought maybe he missed on purpose to make my brother happy.”可知，爸爸错失了一个简单的投篮，“我”觉得他是为了让弟弟开心才这样做，由此可推测“on purpose”意为“故意地”。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“But recently, he looked tired and worried.

Clarice: Maybe we can grow beautiful, long feathers, like the ones ladies put on their hats. Then Madame can sell them and save the farm. But chickens are not ostriches (鸵鸟).

Madame is crying as if her heart is about to break. Claudia: I have a new idea. The chickens worked very hard for the next few days, in secret. Soon it was Friday morning. At sunrise, Madame Frissette opened the door. “Oh, my!” she shouted. Clarice was walking on the clothesline. Claudia was balancing on a ball. Clara was flying through a hoop on fire. Molly was riding a unicycle. Villagers heard the noise and crowded around to see. They cheered for chickens and threw coins on the ground. When the tax man arrived, his mouth fell open.

There were so many things to see. We had fun walking around the rows and rows of shops. We found some lovely things, but they cost too much. Just as we were about to give up on finding anything we could afford, we came to a table with plenty of beautiful bracelets (手镯). “These are so cool,” I said, picking up one with moons and stars. “And look, they’re in my price range.” The shop owner, Chai, told us the beads (珠子) came from a village in Thailand, and he strung each bracelet with love. Then, at that moment, we all saw it. A bracelet with the most magical glassy pink elephant bead. It was the only bracelet like it on the table. “I saw it first,” said Kaylie. “I touched it first,” I said. “I think I did,” said Jasmine. Nobody gave in. We all just stood there for a while, looking at each other angrily. What’s worse, that was the last one. We were all so angry that we just left and said we’d meet here in half an hour. When we met again, we agreed to forget the pretty bracelet and planned to choose others. Luckily, at that time, Chai showed us a box of pink elephants. “I have some beads and string at home,” said Jasmine. “We could go to make our own elephant bracelets right now.” Kaylie said, “We got the very best things in the whole fair.” Walking away and taking a break worked really well for us.

Some believe that British climbers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine reached the top before them in June 1924. Unluckily, this is difficult to know for sure because both men disappeared somewhere high on the mountain. In 1999, a team of climbers visited the mountain, hoping to learn the truth. Near the First Step, on the way to the mountain top, the team found Mallory’s oxygen tank (氧气罐), which shows he and Irvine had been near the top. Close by, a member of the team-Conrad Anker-discovered Mallory’s body (尸体). When the team checked Mallory’s body, they found things like a knife and matches, but no photos. Why is this important? Mallory had carried a photo of his wife with him. He had planned to leave the photo at the top of the mountain, if he reached it. So some people guess he might reach the top. Did Mallory and Irvine really reach the top? Probably not, according to Anker. Here are some reasons why he thought this way. ______: Mallory and Irvine were last seen near the mountain’s Second Step. This is a 27-meter wall of rock. Climbing this part is very difficult, even with modern climbing equipment (设备). Without the right tools, it is impossible that Mallory and Irvine were able to continue to the top. No frostbite (冻伤): Mallory and Irvine were seen near the top late in the day. Climbers who reach the top at this time need to camp at the top. If they do this, it is common to get frostbite. But Mallory’s body had no signs of frostbite. So what happened to Mallory and Irvine? Anker thinks they probably turned back just after the First Step. When Mallory was going down the mountain, perhaps he fell by accident. Irvine’s body has never been found. Whatever happened, they will always be remembered as early brave climbers. 1．Why did the team climb the mountain in 1999? A．To search for Mallory’s oxygen tank. B．To check if Irvine left his photo at the top. C．To become as famous as Hillary and Tenzing. D．To learn if Mallory and Irvine reached the top. 2．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The team didn’t find photos on Mallory’s body. B．The team found some matches on Mallory’s body. C．The team found Mallory’s dead body near the top. D．The team found Mallory’s oxygen tank near the top. 3．Which of the following can be put into “______” in Paragraph 5? A．Reach the top B．Difficult climb C．Camp at night D．Right tools 4．Which of the following would Conrad Anker probably agree with? A．Mallory and Irvine didn’t reach the mountain top. B．Modern climbers can easily climb the Second Step. C．Mallory fell when he took a photo at the mountain top. D．Mallory and Irvine camped near the top and got frostbite. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文围绕乔治・马洛里和安德鲁・欧文是否登顶珠峰这一疑问展开。 1．细节理解题。根据“In 1999, a team of climbers visited the mountain, hoping to learn the truth.”可知，因为想了解马洛里和欧文是否登顶的真相。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据“When the team checked Mallory’s body, they found things like a knife and matches, but no photos. Why is this important? Mallory had carried a photo of his wife with him. He had planned to leave the photo at the top of the mountain, if he reached it.”可知，此句表示团队在马洛里遗体没找到照片，而他本打算登顶留照片，所以没找到照片这件事很重要。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“Mallory and Irvine were last seen near the mountain’s Second Step ... Climbing this part is very difficult ... Without the right tools ... impossible to reach the top”可知，后文讲述在第二步附近，攀登难，没合适工具到顶难。核心是“攀登难度大”。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“Did Mallory and Irvine really reach the top? Probably not, according to Anker.”可知，认为他们没登顶。故选A。 Passage 7 （23-24八年级下·浙江绍兴·期末）Molly Bremner is very short and thin, but she has a heart as big as the sky. This 9-year-old girl is from Melbourne, Australia. She likes running in her free time. And she has been running for as long as her mother Angela can remember. “When Molly started walking, she was at one speed (速度), which was full speed,” Angela said. “She didn’t walk. She just ran everywhere.” Usually, from Monday to Friday, Molly runs 6 km a day after school and on weekends she runs 21 km. Now she is in training to run 625 km in 16 days from Melbourne to Canberra. The activity will start next month. Molly plans to run it for a children’s hospital and raise money for children with brain illness. According to Angela, the brain illness sadly took the life of Molly’s sister, Phoebe, when their big sister Lucy was just two years old. Molly is the only person in the whole family who never got to meet Phoebe because she died before Molly was born. “She doesn’t feel good and it was her idea to run for a children’s hospital. It’s something she wants to do for Phoebe,” said Angela. Molly now can run 42 km in five hours and 59 minutes. And when she goes for her normal 21-km run, it’s like a slow walk for her and it takes her two hours and 45 minutes. She doesn’t get out of breath and talks to her mother the whole time. Her mother rides the bike alongside her. Molly’s father Chris will also be nearby with his car if they need it. Molly’s big sister, Lucy, sometimes runs with Molly. Lucy is athletic, too. She is fit and healthy, but she’s not a runner like Molly. She likes ball sports, like tennis and baseball. Since Molly has raised much money, she says she will continue running to do as much as she can for the sick children in the hospital. 1．From Paragraph 2, we know Molly trains running to ________. A．stay in good health B．join a running club C．cheer up her sister D．raise money for sick kids 2．What can we learn about Molly from the passage? A．She is as tall as her mom. B．She runs 21 km every day. C．She is talented in running. D．She has three elder sisters. 3．What does the underlined word “athletic” probably mean? A．Good at sports.B．Friendly to others. C．Strict with study. D．Full of happiness. 4．Which of the following word can best describe Molly? A．Outgoing. B．Kind. C．Smart. D．Honest. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个澳大利亚的九岁小女孩酷爱跑步的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据“Molly plans to run it for a children’s hospital and raise money for children with brain illness.”可知，莫莉训练跑步是为了给生病的孩子筹款。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据“And when she goes for her normal 21-km run, it’s like a slow walk for her and it takes her two hours and 45 minutes.”可知，当她进行正常的21公里跑步时，对她来说就像慢走一样，需要2小时45分钟；据此可以推断，对于一个9岁的孩子来说，她有如此的成绩，说明有她有跑步天赋。故选C。 3．词义猜测题。根据“Lucy is athletic, too. She is fit and healthy, but she’s not a runner like Molly. She likes ball sports, like tennis and baseball.”可知，露西很健康，喜欢球类运动；据此可以推断，划线单词“athletic”意为“运动的，身体健壮的”，与“good at sports”同义。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“Molly plans to run it for a children’s hospital and raise money for children with brain illness.”可知，莫莉计划为一家儿童医院跑步，为患有脑部疾病的儿童筹集资金；据此可以推断莫莉是友好的、乐于助人的。故选B。 Passage 8 （23-24八年级下·浙江嘉兴·期末）Recently we had a new student start at Gumnut Primary. Her name is Amina. When Mr Yarrum introduced her, her eyes were looking down to the ground and her shoulders were curling (弯曲) forward. She was covering her face a little with the scarf on her head. Mr Yarrum helped Amina to put away her school bag and find a table and chair at a shared desk. I could understand Amina, because I was once the new kid at Gumnut Primary too. Two years ago, my mum got a new job in another city, so my family moved and I couldn’t stay at my old school. I have been the same as Amina, being introduced to a class full of new faces. This made me wonder why someone would have to leave their country and move away to the other side of the world. When the bell went for lunch, I waited around to speak with Mr Yarrum. I wanted to know why Amina and her family had moved so far away from their home to Australia. Mr Yarrum told me there was a war in her country, and they moved her to be safe. At lunchtime, I saw Amina sitting by herself on the bench (长椅). She looked lonely, so I decided to go over and sit with her. Amina didn’t speak any English, which made it a bit difficult to communicate with her. This got me thinking, maybe I could use body language to invite Amina to come and play handball with me and my other friends. I waved for her to follow me and gestured (做手势) with my hands a game of handball. ________ Amina turned out to be very good at handball, and by the end of lunch had a big smile on her face. 1．How did Amina feel when Mr Yarrum introduce her to the class?

Two years ago, ...”可知，首先是作者到Gumnut小学，即④；根据“Recently we had a new student start at Gumnut Primary. Her name is Amina.”可知，然后是遇见Amina，即①；根据“Mr Yarrum told me there was a war in her country, and they moved her to be safe.”可知，接下来是作者和Yarrum说话，即③；根据“maybe I could use body language to invite Amina to come and play handball with me and my other friends.”可知，最后是作者邀请Amina打手球，即②。综上，正确的顺序为④①③②。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“Amina turned out to be very good at handball, and by the end of lunch had a big smile on her face.”可知，Amina手球打得很好，午饭结束时，她脸上挂着灿烂的笑容。由此推知Amina接受了作者一起去打手球的邀请；选项A“她点了点头，跟着我来到操场。”符合语境。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“maybe I could use body language to invite Amina to come and play handball with me and my other friends.”和“Amina turned out to be very good at handball, and by the end of lunch had a big smile on her face.”可知，作者看到Amina孤孤单单的一个人，于是邀请她一起去打手球，然后Amina玩得很开心，脸上露出了大大的笑容；由此推知善良是与他人沟通的好方法。故选B。 Passage 9 （24-25八年级下·浙江杭州·期末）Ethan Hill, now aged 13, started helping homeless (无家可归的) people when he was 6. Over time, his organization—Ethan’s Heart has grown. It allows him to open a free moving store and give out more than 5,000 care bags. His organization began when Ethan noticed a homeless man on his way to school each day, and he felt he had to do something to help. It was going to snow, and he was worried about the man. Ethan had received $100 on Christmas that year and he decided to find out what homeless people would need online. He bought some boxes and filled them with food, drinks, hats, a tent and other necessary things. Then he gave the boxes to the homeless. Later, Ethan won the Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes and decided to use his prize money to help others. He used the money to buy a trailer (挂车) and turned it into a free store. His mom and dad help with money raising and everyday tasks. They both work to make his dreams come true—and he always dreams really big! In traditional food banks, homeless people have to take what is prepared for them and cannot choose. But Ethan’s free moving store allows them to pick exactly what they need. It creates less waste and makes them feel good for free shopping. When his trailer is not out serving the neighborhood, it goes to schools and other places to teach people about homelessness and the needs of the homeless. For Ethan, being young doesn’t stop him from making a difference. Instead, it gives him a fresh set of eyes to look at a problem and solve it. His story shows that even small acts can make a big difference in the world. 1．What made Ethan start his organization? A．Seeing a homeless man on the way to school. B．Advice from his parents about helping others. C．Winning a prize for helping someone in need. D．A school activity about helping the homeless. 2．How did Ethan use his prize money?

Kellen McMahan, a 9-year-old boy, hopes everyone would feel like they’re part of a group. “It’s not nice to feel left out (被冷落) or feel like you don’t fit in,” he explains. This idea came to him when he noticed a classmate sitting alone during playtime. To help others feel welcome, Kellen created something special called Kellen’s Campaign (活动) for Belonging. He plans to make sure nobody feels left out at school. Kellen wanted to give something special to everyone at school to remind them they’re important. After talking with his parents and teachers, he decided on buttons (徽章). He told his classmates about the project. Since the school is big-with more than 400 students, they needed to find out the best way to make it happen. Kellen and his classmates wrote some encouraging words like “You Belong Here!” on small round pieces of paper. By using a special machine, they turned these into buttons and sent them to each classroom. He hoped that the buttons would help students remember that they are part of the school. He also hoped they’d remind kids to ask others to join together in some activities. Kellen still sees people wearing the buttons on backpacks and clothes. He thinks they’ve made a difference. “I’ve noticed some of the kids talking to one another a bit more,” he says. “I’ve seen the kids who seemed lonely before, but they’re starting to play with more people.” Today, Kellen is searching for new campaign ideas. “You should be kind to the people around you,” he says. “It feels great to help someone out.” 1．Why does Kellen plan “Campaign for Belonging” according to Paragraph 1? A．He wants to send small kids some gifts. B．He wants to help more homeless kids. C．He wants to make sure nobody feels left out.

When we arrived at our final stop in Paris, he just wanted to go home. He frowned (皱眉) as he watched me dance around our hotel room. I was excited because I successfully booked a table at L’Ami Louis, a restaurant I’d dreamed of visiting. Michael, my husband, wasn’t as excited. “Another overpriced French meal,” he complained (抱怨), “my wallet is crying.” Finally, they both agreed to go. Nick’s eyes lit up when he saw the golden French fries at the restaurant. “It might be okay,” he said to himself. The waiter noticed him and brought a huge plate of fries. “I guess I’m going to like it here,” Nick said. “Isn’t that Carole Bouquet?” Michael pointed to a family sitting with a boy about Nick’s age. The woman looked a lot like the famous French actress, but it was hard to tell in the dark restaurant. “Maybe,” I said, “film people love this place.” The waiter then appeared with our food. After setting the plate down, he said something to Nick. He pointed, and Nick followed the boy from Carole’s table out the door. “Don’t worry, madam,” the waiter said, “it’s just a game for the neighborhood kids.” I couldn’t see the boys until the waiter brought in a chocolate cake. They sat together to enjoy the cake, like old friends now. And we were making our own friends while enjoying the food. The restaurant had become a dinner party. It was late when the evening ended. “That,” Nick said, “is a very fine restaurant.” “But you only ate fries and cake,” I pointed out. “Who cares?

In a time before plastic and cardboard boxes, people used barrels to keep and transport (运输) food and other things. Maria Beasley learned about barrels as a little girl. Her grandfather’s factory used quite a lot of them to transport food. However, Maria’s grandfather could not find enough barrels for his factory. It took lots of skills to make a barrel. A hard-working cooper might make 5 barrels a day. Maria wanted to help her grandfather with his problem. She learned how the coopers made the barrels, and then began to study different kinds of machinery. In 1876, Maria went to the World’s Fair (展销会) when it came to her hometown. She studied all the new machines she saw. None of the machines made barrels, but they did give her some ideas. Maria decided to invent a barrel-making machine herself. This was followed by five years of hard work, five years of lessons and mistakes. However, at the end of the five years, Maria invented the world’s first barrel-making machine. The machine could make 1,700 barrels a day. News of the invention quickly spread. At the next big fair, Maria’s machine was put on display (展示). Factory owners from all around the world wanted the machine. Soon, Maria became rich and famous. Maria not only solved her grandpa’s problem, but also tried to make her machine even better.

Passage 4 （24-25八年级下·浙江绍兴·期末）. Once upon a time there was a farmer who lost his watch in his barn (谷仓). The farmer was worried because the watch was important to him. After searching for a long time, he gave up looking for the watch by himself and asked a group of children to help him look for it. He promised them that whoever found the watch would get a great lunch for free. Hearing this, the children hurried inside the barn and searched in the hay (干草). But none of them could find the watch. Just when the farmer thought he would never get his watch back, a little boy went up to him and asked if he could give it another go. The farmer looked at him and thought, “Why not? After all, this kid looks sincere (真诚的) enough.” So the farmer sent the little boy back to the barn. Two minutes later, the little boy came out with the watch in his hand! The farmer was both happy and surprised. He asked the boy how he succeeded. The boy replied, “The only thing I did was sit on the ground and listen. In the silence, I heard the ticking (滴答声) of the watch and just followed the sound.” A peaceful mind can think better than a restless one.

Passage 5 （24-25八年级下·浙江绍兴·期末） In a classroom at the Confucius Institute of the University of Granada, Spain, a group of Spanish students are learning martial arts (武术) from their teacher, Zhang Daojin, a kung fu master (大师) from Shandong Province. Zhang has just finished a two-week cultural exchange program in Spain, sharing Chinese kung fu with martial arts lovers from Spain and other European countries through speeches and training lessons. “Chinese kung fu is much more than a way to get fit,” says Romero, a 43-year-old man who has started his martial arts journey since 15. “It’s been part of my life. I’ve found myself growing stronger, both physically and mentally.” Alvarez, 45, has studied under Zhang since 2009 and runs a traditional Chinese medicine clinic (诊所) in Granada, Spain. “Kung fu has greatly changed my life,” he says. “It has not only made my body stronger but also improved my spirit and mind.” “The Spanish students are hard-working and open to different cultures,” Zhang says. “Some have even made the journey to Shandong several times for more kung fu practice.

They found a small black baby bear that was alone. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife kept an eye on the bear. When the mother didn’t return, they took him to the Ramona Wildlife Center. The baby bear was in bad shape. He was 2 to 3 months old, and he hadn’t eaten for several days. Workers at the center weren’t sure if he would survive. But they did what they could. They looked after him carefully, feeding him several times a day, and even at night. Soon he began to improve and put on weight. He’s now nearly 10 pounds heavier than when he arrived. Nowadays, the workers are trying to keep him as wild as possible. That means they can’t let him get used to humans. When the workers are around the baby bear, they wear a bear mask (面罩), a big bear coat and they wear thick gloves (手套), and try not to let the bear see or smell their bodies. They even try to make their special clothes smell like a real black bear. Workers also try to teach the baby bear the skills he’ll need to live on his own. They’ve set up an indoor and outdoor area for the baby bear to live in and experience. They’ve made the areas as natural as possible. The workers do things that a mother bear might do, like teaching him how to catch insects (昆虫) for food. The baby bear is still young, but he’s learning and growing quickly. The center hopes the baby bear can be set free in the wild in about a year. 1．What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A．What the baby bear was like. B．How workers cared for the baby bear. C．Why the baby bear came to the center. D．Where workers found the baby bear. 2．What does the underlined word “survive” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Be independent. B．Lose weight. C．Continue to live. D．Get popular. 3．Why do the workers at the center dress up as bears? A．Because the bear likes their special clothes. B．Because they want the bear to stay in a natural environment. C．Because it’s dangerous for people to get close to the bear. D．Because the bear would like to live with his mother. 4．What’s the best title of the passage? A．How to Train the Wild Animals B．Making a Baby Bear Smarter C．How to Get Along With the Animals D．Keeping a Baby Bear Wild Passage 7 （24-25八年级下·浙江金华·期末）. ①After a week of rain, we finally had a comfortable and beautiful summer day outside. My husband was driving to a nearby town when my daughter found a yard sale. We saw old toys, a couple of guitars, huge piles of clothes and even a piece of furniture or two for sale. Best of all, we saw lots of smiling people talking, laughing, sitting and standing in the sunshine. ②Seeing all of this brought back memories of my childhood. Most of my clothes back then came from yard sales. My mom was quite a good yard sale shopper. ③I used to hate going to yard sales until one day when I saw some old books there. After that, I always browsed (翻阅) the books until it was time to go. Sometimes my mom would buy one for me. Soon a large part of my home library came from yard sale books because they were cheaper than new ones. ④Why do we have yard sales? We drop our old things and we buy “new” old things. But it certainly isn’t for the money. ▲ We talk and catch up with old friends and new neighbors. We connect with kindness and our love for all the old things. ⑤Another reason is that sales teach us something about life. We can’t really own anything here, after all.

Her dad studied animals, and her mom was an expert on birds. When Jenny was 14, her family moved to the Amazon to build a research station called Panguana. There, Jenny learned how to live in the rainforest, like how to find food and water, and how to stay safe from dangerous animals. On December 24, 1971, 17-year-old Jenny was on a plane. She was going to the Panguana Biological Station in Peru with her mother. It was a common journey at first. However, the plane broke apart in the air. You can imagine Jenny’s fear! Jenny amazingly survived (幸存) the fall from nearly 10,000 feet. She was still tied to her seat by a seatbelt at that time. After the accident, Jenny was left alone and badly hurt in the middle of the Peruvian rainforest. She only had one shoe and a broken skirt. The rainforest was very dangerous, with snakes hiding in the dead leaves on the ground. She remembered what her parents taught her and started walking. She followed a river because she thought it was safer. The weather was terrible: very hot during the day, very cold at night, and heavy rain often made things harder. She only ate candy until it was gone. After nine days’ walking through the dangerous rainforest, she found a camp by accident. Workers there helped her and took her to a village. Then, she flew on a plane to a hospital. Jenny was the only person who lived from the accident. After she got better, she helped a search team find the crash site (坠落点) and the people who didn’t survive, including her mother.

When we were walking out, we heard someone say, “Excuse me.” It was the man who had sat at our table. He noticed I’d left my wallet behind and was walking towards us to give it back. I said thank you and my husband then ordered him a meal to show our gratitude. While we were walking away and on the drive home, I was explaining to my 6-year-old son what had happened and the importance of helping others, as well as being thankful to have a home to live in and food to eat. Two days later, to my shock, I looked in my wallet for a card and realized I had $50 in there all along. He could easily have taken it, but he didn’t. How I wished I could have given it to the man! I just paid too much attention (关注) to explaining the importance of kindness to my child and never remembered to check the wallet at the beginning.

In 1883, an engineer named John Roebling thought of an idea to build a great bridge connecting New York with the Long Island. However, all other bridge experts thought this was an impossible thing. Roebling thought about the bridge all the time and he knew in his heart that it could be done. Finally he managed to make his son Washington, a promising (有前途的) engineer believe that the bridge could be built. The project started well, but only a few months later an accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was badly hurt and couldn’t walk or talk or even move any more. “We told them so.” “Crazy men and their crazy dreams.” “It’s foolish to build such a bridge.” Everyone laughed at them and felt that the project should be stopped since the Roeblings were the only ones who knew how the bridge could be built. However, Washington still had a strong wish to complete the bridge. He tried to encourage his workers, but they wanted to give up. As he lay on his bed in hospital room, he was able to see the sky. It seemed that there was a message for him not to give up. ▲ All he could do was to move one finger and he decided to use his finger. He touched his wife’s arm with that finger, talking to her that he wanted her to call the engineers again. Then he used the same way of tapping (轻拍) her arm to tell the engineers what to do. It seemed foolish but the project was going on again. For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife’s arm, until the bridge was finally completed.

She was the kindest person I had ever known, and we quickly became close friends. I never thought she’d hurt me like this. ③I still don’t know why I shared my secrets with Sally. But instead of keeping them private, she twisted (扭曲) the story and spread it behind my back. Soon, everyone at school was laughing at me.

As I sat down on my bed, I heard a loud noise — the wooden bed board had broken in half. I was really embarrassed. I might have complained about the poor quality of the bed, but there was a fact that I was too heavy. Standing at 1.72 meters tall, I weighed 95 kilograms. Exercise had never been my thing. What’s worse, my parents always made my plate full of meat-heavy dishes, hoping I would grow strong. However, instead of being strong, all I could do was make my chairs groan (嘎吱声). But perhaps more beds and chairs than ever are now at risk. According to a 2018 study, 50.7% of grown-ups and 19% of schoolchildren (aged 6-17) in China are overweight. Many people say they are too busy to exercise. They also have no time to cook at home and so often eat out. After breaking that poor bed, I decided to lose some pounds. As my busy work often stopped me from exercising at the gym, I tried to stay active in my daily life. This habit has stayed with me. On some days, I ride the ten kilometers home after work. On other days, I take the bus, but I often get off one stop early and walk the rest of the way. On weekends, I usually stay busy with a good clean-up at home. This, along with a healthier diet, has worked for me. I’m now 21 kilograms lighter than I was in high school. You certainly don’t have to break a bed to start your fitness journey. To get into a healthy habit, it’s better to act sooner than later. 1．How much does the writer weigh now? A．57 kg. B．72 kg. C．74 kg. D．95 kg. 2．How did the writer try to stay healthy?

Passage 18 （24-25八年级下·浙江台州·期末）Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve loved music. While most kids played outside in the sun, I felt happy inside my house, practicing my cello (大提琴) for hours. Playing the cello took me to a different world, free from worries. It never felt boring. After months of practice, the big day arrived—the Alberta Provincial Music Festival. I sat beside my mother and felt nervous. My hands were shaking as I practiced the notes in my mind. My mother encouraged me as my turn was coming. When my name was finally called, I took a deep breath and walked on stage. I carefully put my cello in place and began to play. The deep, rich sound filled the room, and everyone watched quietly. Then, my finger slipped and hit the wrong note. I kept playing as if nothing had happened, but inside, I was worried. I thought to myself, “I’ve just lost my chance.” As soon as I finished, the audience cheered loudly. My mother said that I did well, but I felt disappointed about my mistake. As the last performer finished, the teacher began to announce the winner. I lost hope. To my surprise, the teacher called me again, saying, “You may now come to the stage and accept your award.” I couldn’t believe it! My hard work finally paid off.

In seventh grade, he learned something that made him angry. It was about a Pakistani boy who started working in a crayon factory at the age of 4. The child worked 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. He couldn’t go to school or play. He had no freedom at all. Craig compared that with his own life. Laws in Canada said that kids must go to school. Education was free to all kids. But in Pakistan, education was not free. Children from poor families went to work instead of going to school. Feeling this was unfair, Craig and his classmates started “Free The Children”. Their goal was simple: raise money to build schools and give working children education. At first, some kids laughed at them, saying they couldn’t make real change. But Craig didn’t give up. Today, “Free The Children” has more than one million members in 45 countries. Most of them are kids. The money they have raised has helped build more than 500 schools around the world. It also pays for health care in poor places. Now Craig wants more kids to help. He believes every young person can make big changes. “Start small by talking to your teachers and friends. When you take action and gain more confidence (自信), others will join you. It gets easier when you work together.” 1．Why did Craig start “Free The Children”? A．He wanted to become famous.

The elephant thought he was the best animal in the forest because he was so strong. “See how big and strong I am!” he said, “Can you pull a tree down?” The monkey believed he was the best because he was so quick. “See how fast I can run and climb!” he said, “Can you climb a tree? Can you hang by your tail from a branch?” At last they went to a clever old owl (猫头鹰). “We cannot agree,” they said, “Could you tell us which is better—to be strong or to be quick?” The owl said to them, “Do just as I told you so that I may find out which of you is greater. Do you see that tall fruit tree across the river? Go and pick the fruit and bring it to me.” So they went to the river but the water ran so quickly that the monkey was afraid. “Get on my back,” said the elephant proudly, “I am big and strong. I am not afraid to swim across a running river.” So the monkey got on the elephant’s back and they soon got across the river. They went on until they came to the tree. It was so tall that the fruit hung high above them. The elephant tried to break the tree down but it was too strong. He tried to reach the fruit with his long nose but it was too high. “Wait a minute,” said the monkey proudly, “I can climb.” He ran quickly up the tree and threw down the rich fruit. The elephant put it into his great mouth. Then they crossed the river and gave the fruit to the owl. “Now,” they asked, “which is better?” “Can anyone tell which is better?” said the owl. “ ▲ One crossed the river and the other took the fruit from the plant. When you worked together, both of you succeeded.” 1．Why did the elephant and the monkey disagree with each other? A．Each believed they were the best. B．They hoped to find who swam better.

As usual, he was out cleaning pools all over Florida. Mom always made us wait for him before dinner. I didn’t mind the wait because it meant more time playing basketball with my younger brother. Two years ago, Dad bought us a basketball hoop (篮筐). He put it up on our driveway (车行道). The “court (球场)” wasn’t perfect-just dirt (泥土) and small stones-but we loved it. Every day after school, we practiced different shots. There was something special about playing basketball. When I shot the ball, all my problems seemed to go away. Dad told me he felt the same way about cleaning pools. He said making dirty water clean was like magic. But recently, he looked tired and worried. Many customers stopped paying because of the pandemic (流行病). One evening, Dad came home earlier than usual, looking very tired. “Dad, want to play basketball with us?” I asked. He smiled and said, “Okay, but just for a little while before dinner.” We decided to play H-O-R-S-E. Dad still used his old way of shooting with two hands. My brother and I shot with one hand. Dad was really good. He almost never missed! As the sun went down, we kept playing. Dad missed one easy shot when a bird flew by. I thought maybe he missed on purpose to make my brother happy. Then Mom told us dinner was ready. “Time to eat,” Dad said. “Maybe another game tomorrow.” Inside, we could smell Mom's cheese. My brother kept bouncing the ball until Dad playfully tapped (轻拍) his head. For that short time playing basketball, Dad looked happy again. I wished we could do this every day. When we play together, everything feels perfect-just like when the ball goes straight through the net without touching the rim. 1．How did the writer feel about waiting for his dad before dinner?

Everyone but Trina. “This has to change,” Trina thought, “I need a sport of my own!” “Hey, Trina!” her big sister Kris called. “Are you coming to my baseball game tonight? I’m pitching!” “Sure!” said Trina. Kris was the best pitcher. “I wish I had such a strong arm.” Trina thought. Trina went into the backyard. “Hey, Trina,” said her big brother Jesse. “Are you coming to my track meet on Saturday?” “Sure,” said Trina.

There were so many things to see. We had fun walking around the rows and rows of shops. We found some lovely things, but they cost too much. Just as we were about to give up on finding anything we could afford, we came to a table with plenty of beautiful bracelets (手镯). “These are so cool,” I said, picking up one with moons and stars. “And look, they’re in my price range.” The shop owner, Chai, told us the beads (珠子) came from a village in Thailand, and he strung each bracelet with love. Then, at that moment, we all saw it. A bracelet with the most magical glassy pink elephant bead. It was the only bracelet like it on the table. “I saw it first,” said Kaylie. “I touched it first,” I said. “I think I did,” said Jasmine. Nobody gave in. We all just stood there for a while, looking at each other angrily. What’s worse, that was the last one. We were all so angry that we just left and said we’d meet here in half an hour. When we met again, we agreed to forget the pretty bracelet and planned to choose others. Luckily, at that time, Chai showed us a box of pink elephants. “I have some beads and string at home,” said Jasmine. “We could go to make our own elephant bracelets right now.” Kaylie said, “We got the very best things in the whole fair.” Walking away and taking a break worked really well for us.

Passage 6 （24-25八年级下·浙江杭州·期末）Were Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay really the first people to reach the top of the world’s highest mountain? Some believe that British climbers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine reached the top before them in June 1924. Unluckily, this is difficult to know for sure because both men disappeared somewhere high on the mountain. In 1999, a team of climbers visited the mountain, hoping to learn the truth. Near the First Step, on the way to the mountain top, the team found Mallory’s oxygen tank (氧气罐), which shows he and Irvine had been near the top. Close by, a member of the team-Conrad Anker-discovered Mallory’s body (尸体). When the team checked Mallory’s body, they found things like a knife and matches, but no photos. Why is this important? Mallory had carried a photo of his wife with him. He had planned to leave the photo at the top of the mountain, if he reached it. So some people guess he might reach the top. Did Mallory and Irvine really reach the top? Probably not, according to Anker. Here are some reasons why he thought this way. ______: Mallory and Irvine were last seen near the mountain’s Second Step. This is a 27-meter wall of rock. Climbing this part is very difficult, even with modern climbing equipment (设备). Without the right tools, it is impossible that Mallory and Irvine were able to continue to the top. No frostbite (冻伤): Mallory and Irvine were seen near the top late in the day. Climbers who reach the top at this time need to camp at the top. If they do this, it is common to get frostbite. But Mallory’s body had no signs of frostbite. So what happened to Mallory and Irvine? Anker thinks they probably turned back just after the First Step. When Mallory was going down the mountain, perhaps he fell by accident. Irvine’s body has never been found. Whatever happened, they will always be remembered as early brave climbers. 1．Why did the team climb the mountain in 1999? A．To search for Mallory’s oxygen tank. B．To check if Irvine left his photo at the top. C．To become as famous as Hillary and Tenzing. D．To learn if Mallory and Irvine reached the top. 2．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The team didn’t find photos on Mallory’s body. B．The team found some matches on Mallory’s body. C．The team found Mallory’s dead body near the top. D．The team found Mallory’s oxygen tank near the top. 3．Which of the following can be put into “______” in Paragraph 5? A．Reach the top B．Difficult climb C．Camp at night D．Right tools 4．Which of the following would Conrad Anker probably agree with? A．Mallory and Irvine didn’t reach the mountain top. B．Modern climbers can easily climb the Second Step. C．Mallory fell when he took a photo at the mountain top. D．Mallory and Irvine camped near the top and got frostbite. Passage 7 （23-24八年级下·浙江绍兴·期末）Molly Bremner is very short and thin, but she has a heart as big as the sky. This 9-year-old girl is from Melbourne, Australia. She likes running in her free time. And she has been running for as long as her mother Angela can remember. “When Molly started walking, she was at one speed (速度), which was full speed,” Angela said. “She didn’t walk. She just ran everywhere.” Usually, from Monday to Friday, Molly runs 6 km a day after school and on weekends she runs 21 km. Now she is in training to run 625 km in 16 days from Melbourne to Canberra. The activity will start next month. Molly plans to run it for a children’s hospital and raise money for children with brain illness. According to Angela, the brain illness sadly took the life of Molly’s sister, Phoebe, when their big sister Lucy was just two years old. Molly is the only person in the whole family who never got to meet Phoebe because she died before Molly was born. “She doesn’t feel good and it was her idea to run for a children’s hospital. It’s something she wants to do for Phoebe,” said Angela. Molly now can run 42 km in five hours and 59 minutes. And when she goes for her normal 21-km run, it’s like a slow walk for her and it takes her two hours and 45 minutes. She doesn’t get out of breath and talks to her mother the whole time. Her mother rides the bike alongside her. Molly’s father Chris will also be nearby with his car if they need it. Molly’s big sister, Lucy, sometimes runs with Molly. Lucy is athletic, too. She is fit and healthy, but she’s not a runner like Molly. She likes ball sports, like tennis and baseball.

Two years ago, my mum got a new job in another city, so my family moved and I couldn’t stay at my old school. I have been the same as Amina, being introduced to a class full of new faces. This made me wonder why someone would have to leave their country and move away to the other side of the world. When the bell went for lunch, I waited around to speak with Mr Yarrum. I wanted to know why Amina and her family had moved so far away from their home to Australia. Mr Yarrum told me there was a war in her country, and they moved her to be safe. At lunchtime, I saw Amina sitting by herself on the bench (长椅). She looked lonely, so I decided to go over and sit with her. Amina didn’t speak any English, which made it a bit difficult to communicate with her. This got me thinking, maybe I could use body language to invite Amina to come and play handball with me and my other friends. I waved for her to follow me and gestured (做手势) with my hands a game of handball. ________ Amina turned out to be very good at handball, and by the end of lunch had a big smile on her face. 1．How did Amina feel when Mr Yarrum introduce her to the class?

Passage 9 （24-25八年级下·浙江杭州·期末）Ethan Hill, now aged 13, started helping homeless (无家可归的) people when he was 6. Over time, his organization—Ethan’s Heart has grown. It allows him to open a free moving store and give out more than 5,000 care bags. His organization began when Ethan noticed a homeless man on his way to school each day, and he felt he had to do something to help. It was going to snow, and he was worried about the man. Ethan had received $100 on Christmas that year and he decided to find out what homeless people would need online. He bought some boxes and filled them with food, drinks, hats, a tent and other necessary things. Then he gave the boxes to the homeless.

In traditional food banks, homeless people have to take what is prepared for them and cannot choose. But Ethan’s free moving store allows them to pick exactly what they need. It creates less waste and makes them feel good for free shopping. When his trailer is not out serving the neighborhood, it goes to schools and other places to teach people about homelessness and the needs of the homeless.

Kellen McMahan, a 9-year-old boy, hopes everyone would feel like they’re part of a group. “It’s not nice to feel left out (被冷落) or feel like you don’t fit in,” he explains. This idea came to him when he noticed a classmate sitting alone during playtime. To help others feel welcome, Kellen created something special called Kellen’s Campaign (活动) for Belonging. He plans to make sure nobody feels left out at school. Kellen wanted to give something special to everyone at school to remind them they’re important. After talking with his parents and teachers, he decided on buttons (徽章). He told his classmates about the project. Since the school is big-with more than 400 students, they needed to find out the best way to make it happen. Kellen and his classmates wrote some encouraging words like “You Belong Here!” on small round pieces of paper. By using a special machine, they turned these into buttons and sent them to each classroom. He hoped that the buttons would help students remember that they are part of the school. He also hoped they’d remind kids to ask others to join together in some activities. Kellen still sees people wearing the buttons on backpacks and clothes. He thinks they’ve made a difference. “I’ve noticed some of the kids talking to one another a bit more,” he says. “I’ve seen the kids who seemed lonely before, but they’re starting to play with more people.” Today, Kellen is searching for new campaign ideas. “You should be kind to the people around you,” he says. “It feels great to help someone out.” 1．Why does Kellen plan “Campaign for Belonging” according to Paragraph 1?
