But several days ago, I had a biology class outside in my American school. My biology teacher, Mr. Kwak, divided us into three groups and asked us to play a game about natural selection (选择) and how birds find food. He gave the first group one spoon per person, the second group forks and my group knives. I thought we were going hunting, so knives might work better. Surprisingly, he told us to pick up the beans on the grass with our tools. When the game started, all of us ran to the grass area. We squatted (蹲) down and looked for beans. It was hard to pick up something that small, especially from the grass. When I found a bean, it dropped back to the ground. When I finally picked up several beans, one of my friends ran into me. I couldn’t keep my balance and fell over. All my beans dropped to the ground. Just at that moment, Mr. Kwak called us back. I had to leave the grass and of course I got a bad result. I couldn’t help thinking that if I were a bird living on Galapagos Island, I would be dead soon. The fun game made me realize that natural selection is really competitive (竞争的). Everyone is trying his or her best to survive. 1．How many beans did the writer get at last? A．None. B．One. C．Several. 2．Which of the following is TRUE? A．The writer did a good job in the biology class. B．The writer had a biology class outside their school. C．The writer found that picking up the beans from the grass was hard. 3．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “survive” in the last paragraph? A．Find food. B．Remain alive. C．Keep balanced. 4．What was the aim of Mr. Kwak’s class? A．To learn natural selection. B．To pick up the beans. C．To know different kinds of birds. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．A 【解析】 本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在美国学校的一节户外生物课上，通过模拟鸟类觅食的游戏，理解了自然选择的竞争性和生存的艰难。 1．细节理解题。根据第五段“All my beans dropped to the ground. Just at that moment, Mr. Kwak called us back.”可知，作者最终没有获得任何豆子。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“It was hard to pick up something that small, especially from the grass.”可知，作者认为捡豆子很困难。故选C。 3．词义猜测题。根据第五段“if I were a bird living on Galapagos Island, I would be dead soon”可知，作者认为如果他是鸟，他很快就会死；结合最后一段“natural selection is really competitive (竞争的). Everyone is trying his or her best to survive.”可推知，此处应表示自然选择是竞争性的，每个人都在尽力生存。因此，survive意为remain alive“存活”。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据第二段“play a game about natural selection (选择)”和最后一段“The fun game made me realize that natural selection is really competitive (竞争的).”可推知，课程目的是学习自然选择原理。故选A。 Passage 2 （2025八年级下·内蒙古乌兰察布·期末）Lyu Yuxia is a 52-year-old fruit farmer from Shandong Province, China.

Uncle Gena will be here soon.” Later, Uncle Gena and I got on the train to Sparrow Hills. It was warmer in the train and my body started to relax. “Can we just stay in the train?”, I said as the train stopped. Uncle Gena softly pulled (拉) me up and said, “You will miss all the fun.” Outside, the wind was blowing strongly. The ice-covered branches (树枝) of the snowy trees swayed (摇摆) in the wind. As we started to walk uphill, Uncle Gena pulled me closer to a tree and said, “Listen!” I pulled my hat up to free my ears. At first I only heard the wind. Then a sound came. “How amazing! What's that sound?” I asked. “The icicle symphony,” Uncle Gena said. “Snow fell on the branches and froze again. Now, the icy branches make a sound as they sway in the wind.” Then we climbed to the top of Sparrow Hills and the sun broke through the clouds. “The sun is shining!” I said excitedly. Uncle Gena smiled and said, “The sun is always shining. You just need to climb high enough to see it.” “And we have to go outside in winter to hear the icicle symphony,” I said as we walked down the hill. 1．Why didn’t Marina want to go to Sparrow Hills at first? A．It was too cold outside. B．She liked staying with Mum better. C．Uncle Gena was too strict with her. 2．What does the underlined words “The icicle symphony” probably mean? A．The sound of strong wind.

She wants young people to be curious (好奇的) about daily life.”可知，她用幽默易懂的方式在线做物理实验，让年轻人对日常生活充满好奇，故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“During the past two years, he has used his videos to share his knowledge of the sea.”可知，过去两年里，他用视频分享海洋知识，故选A。 4．主旨大意题。根据“The two gray-haired people have created real energy to society through their actions.”及全文的理解可知，文章是赞美两位伟大的老师所做的一切，故选C。 Passage 5 （24-25八年级下·浙江金华·期末）On March 28—29, 2026, a Chinese motorcycle brand (品牌) called “Zhang Xue Motor” won two races at the WorldSuperbike Championship (WSBK). The rider crossed the finishing line nearly 4 seconds ahead of others. This was the first time a Chinese brand won this top-level race, breaking the long monopoly (垄断) of European and Japanese brands. The man behind this success is 39-year-old Zhang Xue. His story is like a movie. Born in a poor village in Hunan, he dropped out of school at 14 and became a mechanic in a repair shop. His hands were always covered in black oil, but he never gave up his dream. At 19, Zhang did something crazy. He rode an old motorcycle over 100 kilometers in the rain just to catch a TV reporter. He wanted to show his riding skills. His persistence (坚持) finally paid off. In 2024, Zhang started his own company in Chongqing. He put all his money into making powerful engines (发动机). Many people laughed at him, but he kept working hard. After winning the championship, Zhang made an unusual rule. He refused to sell his fast motorcycles to new riders with less than one year of experience. “Safety is more important than making money,” he said. Zhang’s story proves that with true love and hard work, an ordinary person can also stand on top of the world. 1．What does the word “mechanic” in paragraph 2 most likely mean? A．A person who repairs machines. B．A person who drives fast cars. C．A person who sells motorcycles. D．A person who designs engines. 2．What can we infer from the rule Zhang Xue made after winning? A．He doesn’t care about making money. B．He cares more about new riders’ safety. C．He wants to sell fewer motorcycles. D．He doesn’t trust new riders. 3．Which of the following is the CORRECT order of Zhang Xue’s experience? ①Zhang Xue started his own company in Chongqing. ②Zhang Xue dropped out of school at 14 to work as a mechanic. ③Zhang Xue’s brand “Zhang Xue Motor” won two races at the WSBK. ④Zhang Xue rode a motorcycle in the rain to meet a TV reporter and show his skills. ⑤Zhang Xue made a rule to put new riders’ safety first. A．④②①⑤③ B．②①④③⑤ C．②④①③⑤ D．④①②⑤③ 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To teach readers how to ride motorcycles. B．To explain how WSBK races work. C．To compare Chinese and Japanese motorcycles. D．To tell the story of Zhang Xue and his historic success. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．D 【解析】本文介绍了中国摩托车品牌“张雪摩托”在2026年WSBK赛事中夺冠的历史性突破，并讲述了创始人张雪从14岁辍学当修理工，凭借热爱与坚持，最终创立公司并取得成功的故事。 1．第二段提到张雪14岁辍学后成为“a mechanic in a repair shop”，结合语境，“repair shop”意为“修理店”，因此“mechanic”应指修理机器的人，即“修理工”。 2．第四段提到：“After winning the championship, Zhang made an unusual rule. He refused to sell his fast motorcycles to new riders with less than one year of experience. “Safety is more important than making money,” he said.”，张雪获胜后规定：不把快速摩托车卖给驾龄不足一年的新手，并说“安全比赚钱更重要”。由此可推断，他更关心新手骑士的安全。 3．第二段“Born in a poor village in Hunan, he dropped out of school at 14 and became a mechanic in a repair shop.”提到：张雪14岁辍学当修理工，第三段“At 19, Zhang did something crazy. He rode an old motorcycle over 100 kilometers in the rain just to catch a TV reporter. He wanted to show his riding skills.”提到：张雪19岁冒雨骑摩托追记者展示技能，第四段“In 2024, Zhang started his own company in Chongqing.”提到：张雪2024年在重庆创办公司，第一段“On March 28—29, 2026, a Chinese motorcycle brand (品牌) called ‘Zhang Xue Motor’ won two races at the WorldSuperbike Championship (WSBK).”提到：在2026年张雪的品牌“张雪摩托”在WSBK赢得了两场比赛。第四段提到“After winning the championship, Zhang made an unusual rule. He refused to sell his fast motorcycles to new riders with less than one year of experience. “Safety is more important than making money,” he said.”获胜后，张雪制定了一条规则，将新骑手的安全放在第一位。因此正确顺序为②④①③⑤。 4．文章主要讲述了张雪从贫困农村少年成长为冠军品牌创始人的经历，以及他打破欧美日品牌垄断的历史性成就，目的是讲述他的故事和成功。 主题02 人与社会——著名人物 （2024八年级下·内蒙古鄂尔多斯·期末）Jin Yong is the pen name of Louis Cha Leung-yumg (查良镛).

D．The meaning of reading. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．A 4．B 【解析】本文介绍了作家金庸。他的小说风格以及展示的价值观。 1．推理判断题。根据“About six years ago, he passed away at the age of 94 in Hong Kong.”可知，金庸在六年前去世，2024-6=2018，因此应是在2018年，故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据“It’s just as the well-known saying goes, ‘Wherever there are Chinese, you will find Jin Yong’s novels.’”可知，有中国人的地方就有金庸的小说，这说明金庸的小说在中国人中很受欢迎。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“But Jin Yong also used some stories from history and traditional Chinese culture to make this world. His stories took place in different dynasties (朝代).

He always sang about it at the dance. The Rabbit once had a long, hairy tail, too, but he lost his in a frozen lake. He was jealous (嫉妒的) of the Possum’s, so he decided to play a joke on him. There was going to be a dance. It was the Rabbit’s job to send out the news. And he promised to send someone to dress the Possum’s tail for the dance, so the Possum agreed to go to the dance happily. Then the Rabbit went to visit the Cricket, a hairdresser, and told him to dress the Possum’s tail the next morning for the dance. He told the Cricket what to do. In the morning, the Cricket went to the Possum’s house. The Possum closed his eyes while the Cricket was dressing his tail with a red cloth. The Cricket told him, “If you want to get a surprise, don’t take the red cloth away.” At night, the Possum went to the dance and the Rabbit took the cloth away. The Possum began to sing, “See my beautiful tail. See what a fine color it has.” Everybody shouted and he sang again, “See how it sweeps the ground.” This time everybody laughed so long that the Possum wondered what they meant. He looked down at his tail and saw that there was no hair on it. 1．What can we know from the first paragraph? A．The Rabbit was good at singing. B．The Rabbit wanted a long hairy tail. C．The Rabbit and the Possum were friends. 2．How might the Possum feel at last? A．Happy and relaxed. B．Sad and uncomfortable. C．Surprised and lucky. 3．What’s the RIGHT order of the passage? ①The Rabbit told the Possum about the dance. ②The Possum sang happily about his tail at the dance. ③The Rabbit lost his long, hairy tail in a lake. ④The Cricket dressed the Possum’s tail with a red cloth. A．③①②④ B．①③②④ C．③①④② 4．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．How to get on with others. B．How to keep your promise. C．How the Possum lost his hairy tail. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．C 【解析】本文主要介绍了一个关于负鼠、兔子和蟋蟀的故事。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“The Rabbit once had a long, hairy tail, too, but he lost his in a frozen lake. He was jealous (嫉妒的) of the Possum’s...”可推知，兔子想要一条长长的、毛茸茸的尾巴。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据最后一段“He looked down at his tail and saw that there was no hair on it.”可知，负鼠看到自己的尾巴没毛了，结合前文兔子捉弄它，大家嘲笑它，可推断出负鼠最后应该是伤心和不舒服的。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据文章内容，先是“The Rabbit once had a long, hairy tail, too, but he lost his in a frozen lake.”即兔子在湖里弄丢了它的长毛尾巴，对应③；接着“There was going to be a dance...so the Possum agreed to go to the dance happily.”可知兔子告诉负鼠关于舞会的事，对应①；然后“In the morning, the Cricket went to the Possum’s house...don’t take the red cloth away.”可知蟋蟀用红布装饰负鼠的尾巴，对应④；最后“At night, the Possum went to the dance...See how it sweeps the ground.”可知负鼠在舞会上开心地唱关于它尾巴的歌，对应②。所以正确顺序是③①④②。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。文章主要围绕兔子捉弄负鼠，让负鼠在舞会上发现自己的尾巴没毛了展开，讲述了负鼠是如何失去它毛茸茸的尾巴的。故选C。 Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·重庆·期末） Nils loved playing tricks on others, so nobody liked him. One day, he caught an elf (精灵) and played a trick (捉弄) on him. The angry elf turned Nils into a very weak (弱小的) little man. The animals wouldn’t tell him where the elf went, because he tricked them too. Nils felt very sad. At this moment, some wild geese went by. They called the home geese, “Come along! Off to Lapland!” Morten, a young goose, was about to follow them. Nils tried to stop him but was carried into the sky! High in the air, Nils held on tightly. He was afraid. Later, Morten became tired. Nils gave him some water and food. Morten caught him a fish. “It’s so good to have a friend,” Nils thought. Late that night, everyone was resting. A fox quietly took a goose and ran fast to the forest. At that moment, Nils’ heart was beating fast, and he didn’t know what to do. After taking a deep breath, he didn’t hesitate (犹豫). He ran after the fox and grabbed (抓住) its tail tightly right away. The fox tried to shake him off, but Nils held on tighter. The fox had to drop the goose. The goose flew away and Nils climbed up a tree. “You can’t stay there forever,” the fox cried. Then a goose flew low. The fox jumped, but the goose flew up. Another goose came, then another. The fox jumped and jumped, catching nothing. Suddenly, he remembered Nils. But Nils ran away! Nils was filled with joy, because he and the geese helped each other and became good friends. Then Nils went to the small animals. But they didn’t trust him. One day, Nils heard that a farmer had taken Mrs. Squirrel away. Nils found Mrs. Squirrel in a cage. But he was too small to open it. Nils brought her hungry babies to her. Seeing this, the farmer’s wife set Mrs. Squirrel free. After that, the small animals began to like Nils. One day, the fox said to Akka, the leader of the geese, “If you give Nils to me, I will not hunt you anymore.” But Akka said, “No! We will give our lives for him!” Hearing the words, Nils felt deeply warm. ——Adapted from The Wonderful Adventures of Nils 1．How did Nils’ feelings change after the fox took the goose in Scene Three?

After taking a deep breath, he didn’t hesitate...Nils was filled with joy”，可知狐狸抓走鹅时，尼尔斯起初紧张害怕，随后鼓起勇气行动，最终成功救下鹅后感到喜悦。 2．根据Scene One到Scene Four的内容，已知三幅图分别对应Scene Three（尼尔斯抓狐狸尾巴救鹅）、Scene Two（尼尔斯和莫顿成为朋友）、Scene One（尼尔斯捉弄精灵被变小），缺失的图片应对应Scene Four中尼尔斯帮助松鼠的情节。 3．根据前文Scene Three中尼尔斯冒死救下鹅、Scene Four中帮助松鼠等行为，鹅群首领Akka说出“We will give our lives for him!”，说明尼尔斯通过善良的行动赢得了鹅群的信任与认可。 4．全文讲述了尼尔斯从爱捉弄人、不受欢迎，到通过帮助动物、与动物互助，最终收获友谊与信任的故事，传递了“帮助他人能带来真挚友谊”的道理。 主题04 人与自然——动物 （2025八年级下·内蒙古锡林郭勒·期末）The great white shark（鲨鱼）is one of the most dangerous animals in the world. It can grow up to 7 meters long and weigh 2,100 kg. It has five rows of up to 3,000 very white, very sharp teeth. It needs them because the great white shark is a carnivore. It will eat almost anything that swims in the sea, from fish to dolphins to other sharks. Oh, and people, too. So, imagine how Rob Howes felt when he faced one of these terrifying animals off the northern coast of New Zealand. Rob was swimming with his 15-year-old daughter, Niccy and two of her friends. They were enjoying the crystal-clear water when they noticed some dolphins（海豚）swimming up to them. It is not surprising to see dolphins in the waters there, and they often swim near humans. But these dolphins were not there for fun. They were swimming around the four humans in smaller and smaller circles. It seemed like they were gathering up the swimmers. Also, the dolphins were hitting their tails on the water. Were they trying to tell them something? That was when Rob saw the great white shark. It was very close—only a few meters away. It wasn’t a big one, but at 3 meters long, it was big enough. It was swimming towards them, gliding through the water, but when it saw the dolphins, it turned and swam away. Rob realized that the dolphins had saved their lives. Had they known there was a shark nearby and decided to protect them? The dolphins followed the swimmers until they got safely back to shore（岸）. Rob and the others were very lucky that day. Some people pay lots of money to swim with dolphins. Rob swam with dolphins for free, but he also had a great white shark with him! 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 1．The writer starts the passage by _________. A．telling an interesting story B．giving some numbers C．giving useful advice 2．Which of the following is true about the great white shark? A．It eats dolphins sometimes.

A heavy rainstorm hit the mountain road, and a large rock fell onto the highway, blocking half of the road. Li Wei, a 38-year-old truck driver, was driving home with his 10-year-old daughter after a long day’s work. He was driving slowly on the right lane when he noticed two cars ahead suddenly disappear around the curve. Knowing something was wrong, he slowed down and stopped his truck right away. After getting out of the truck, Li Wei saw the huge rock blocking the road. His truck was only 10 meters away from the danger. “If I had kept driving, we would have hit the rock for sure,” he said later. Li Wei didn’t hesitate. He asked his daughter to stay in the truck and call the police, while he tried to stop the coming cars. At first, he used his truck’s warning lights and waved his arms, but some drivers didn’t see him in the rain. Two cars almost hit the rock because they were driving too fast. Then Li Wei took out his bright flashlight and stood in the middle of the road, waving and shouting loudly to every car that came by. Soon, the first car stopped. Then more and more drivers slowed down and stopped. Some drivers even got out to help move small stones away from the road. About 20 minutes later, the police and road workers arrived. They thanked Li Wei for saving so many lives. “In that moment, I didn’t think about myself.

However, a group of students from No. 8 Middle School proved that young people can also bring “sunshine” to those in need. Last month, these students started a project called “Care & Share”. Their main goal was to help the homeless people living near the city park. At first, they collected old clothes, blankets, and food from their neighbors and classmates. Within two weeks, they gathered over 300 items! But they didn’t stop there. On weekends, the team went to the park to hand out these supplies. During their visits, they noticed that many homeless people looked sad and lonely. So, the students decided to do more than just give things. They began to sit down and chat with them, listening to their stories. They learned that some of these people used to be teachers, workers, or even artists. One student, Li Meng, said, “I used to be afraid of talking to strangers. But now, I feel happy when I see a smile on their faces. It makes me realize that everyone needs care, no matter who they are.” The project not only helped the homeless but also changed the students themselves. They became more confident and responsible. Now, more students in the school want to join the project. They believe that small acts of kindness can truly make the world a better place. 1．What was the name of the project started by the students? A．Sunshine Project B．Care & Share C．Helping Hands D．Students’ Union 2．What did the students do first to help the homeless? A．They built houses for them. B．They gave them money directly.

D．Because they needed information for a newspaper report. 4．What change happened to the students after the project? A．They became more confident and responsible. B．They decided to leave school early. C．They started to avoid strangers. D．They realized adults should do all the work. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．A 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了第八中学的学生通过“Care & Share”项目帮助无家可归者的故事，展现了年轻人也能通过行动带来改变。 1．第二段第一句明确指出：“Last month, these students started a project called ‘Care & Share’.”，因此项目名称是“Care & Share”。 2．第二段中提到：“At first, they collected old clothes, blankets, and food from their neighbors and classmates.”，说明他们首先收集衣物和食物。 3．第三段中提到：“During their visits, they noticed that many homeless people looked sad and lonely. So, the students decided to... sit down and chat with them.”，因此他们开始聊天是因为发现无家可归者很孤独。 4．最后一段中提到：“The project not only helped the homeless but also changed the students themselves. They became more confident and responsible.”，说明学生们在项目后变得更加自信和有责任感。 主题01 人与社会——活动 （2025八年级下·内蒙古通辽·期末）One day in April, a special activity called “Food Street” was held on the playground at Railway No. 1 Middle School in Xi’an.

I listened carefully but I never answered teachers’ questions. After I joined the basketball club, everything changed. At first, I thought it was a crazy idea because I didn’t have the ability to keep up with the others in the club and they would laugh at me. But my teacher kept asking me to go for it. I agreed and decided to give it a try. Taking the courage to try was only the half of it! When I first started going to the practice courses, I didn’t even know the rules of the game. That made me feel really stupid. Luckily, I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to learn the game, try my best at each practice course, and not to find any excuses for the things I didn’t know “just yet”. Soon I knew much about the rules of basketball and learned the moves from the coach. I practiced a lot. Being part of a team was so exciting. Very soon I had some competitive ability though I didn’t have much confidence. As time passed by, I learned how to play basketball and how to work together. I have changed a lot since then. In class, I often raise my hand to answer teachers’ questions. I have got much praise from my teachers and classmates. Now I have more confidence in myself! 1．Who encouraged the writer to practice playing basketball? A．His coach. B．His classmates.

You’re going to say, “This is it.” “This is how I end.” Let’s read two stories about the superheroes from different countries. What did they do for their goals? Jingwei Tries to Fill up the Sea Once upon a time, the youngest daughter of Emperor Yan went boating on the Eastern Sea. While she was enjoying herself, a strong wind rose on the sea, and her boat sank to the sea. Her spirit turned into a beautiful bird after she died. She cried sadly in the sound “Jingwei, Jingwei”. That was why people called her “Jingwei”. The bird lived on a mountain near the sea. She was so sad that she decided to fill up the sea. Every day, she flew between the mountain and the sea, carrying stones or branches from the mountain and dropping them into the sea. One day, the sea said to Jingwei, “Poor little bird, stop doing that meaningless thing. You’ll never fill me up.” Jingwei replied, “I’ll fill you up without doubt. I will, even if it will take me thousands of years. I’ll fight on without taking a rest.” Robinson Crusoe Robinson Crusoe is a main character from a novel named Robinson Crusoe. When Robinson first arrived on the island, he had nothing. But he found the ship and made a small boat. He brought back many things he could use—food and drinks, tools, knives and guns. Although he lost everything, he didn’t lose his life. He kept working and waiting for another ship. He used the knife to cut down trees and built a house. He went with his gun almost every day to kill animals and birds for food. He learned to grow fruit and vegetables.

One of the best things about this job is: You can observe (观察) animals in their natural environment. My favourite place to take photos is Yellowstone National Park. As the world’s first national park, Yellowstone is famous for the variety (种类) of its wildlife, but it is probably best known for its bears. These huge, strong animals can live for about 20 years. Despite a weight of up to 300 pounds, they can run at a speed of around 64 kilometres per hour and are also excellent swimmers. Last spring in Yellowstone, I followed a path that took me through a dark forest. When I finally stepped out of the trees, the view was breathtaking. An eagle (雕) flew over the mountains. They were reflected in the lake below. While I was photographing this amazing scene, I suddenly felt that I was being watched. Slowly, and with the camera still held to my eye, I turned … and froze. Only metres away from me was a bear. With water falling off its thick, brown hair, the bear stared back at me. Time stood still as the bear and I both waited to see who would move first. My legs started shaking. Somehow, I forced (强迫) my finger to press the button. A second later, the bear turned and ran back into the forest. When I recovered from the shock, I looked at my camera. My most frightening but magical experience was now kept forever in a single image. From time to time, I look at the photo as a reminder to show respect to all animals. It is after all we who are the visitors to their world. 1．Which of the following is TRUE about the bears in the passage? A．They have a weight of up to 30 pounds. B．They are huge but good at swimming. C．They are strong and can live for at least 30 years. D．They can swim at a speed of 64 kilometres per hour. 2．What does the underlined word “breathtaking” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．excellent B．scary C．interesting D．shocking 3．Which is the right order of the following? a. I felt I was being watched. b. I admired the landscape. c. I took a photo of the bear. d. The bear ran away. e. I walked through a forest. f. I saw a bear. A．eabcdf B．eabfdc C．ebfadc D．ebafcd 4．According to the passage, what does the writer suggest towards wildlife? A．Love. B．Caring. C．Respect. D．Hunt. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C 【解析】本文讲述了一位自然摄影师在黄石国家公园拍摄时偶遇野熊的惊险经历，展现了野生动物的特点，并强调了人类应尊重自然、尊重动物的态度。 1．根据第二段“These huge, strong animals can live for about 20 years. Despite a weight of up to 300 pounds, they can run at a speed of around 64 kilometres per hour and are also excellent swimmers.”可知，文中提到熊体型庞大、强壮，体重可达300磅，时速约64公里，还是优秀的游泳健将。 2．根据第三段“When I finally stepped out of the trees, the view was breathtaking. An eagle flew over the mountains. They were reflected in the lake below.”可知，作者走出树林后看到了令人震撼的美景：鹰掠过群山，倒映在湖面。结合上下文，breathtaking形容景色极好、令人惊叹，与excellent（极好的）含义最接近。 3．根据第三段事件发展顺序：首先“followed a path that took me through a dark forest”（e.穿过森林）；接着“stepped out... view was breathtaking”（b.欣赏风景）；然后“felt that I was being watched”（a.感觉被注视）；转身发现“Only metres away from me was a bear”（f.看见熊）；然后“press the button”（c.拍照）；最后“bear turned and ran back”（d.熊跑开）。因此正确顺序是：e-b-a-f-c-d。 4．根据最后一段“From time to time, I look at the photo as a reminder to show respect to all animals. It is after all we who are the visitors to their world.”可知，作者通过这次经历提醒自己要尊重所有动物，强调人类是动物世界的访客，应心怀敬意。 主题06 人与自我——家庭生活 （23-24八年级下·甘肃武威·期末）One day Mrs. Wilson went shopping with Tracy and Ben. They went to the supermarket in the new shopping center. “Why do you buy things here?” Tracy wanted to know. “Because they are cheaper here than those at the corner store near our home.” Mrs. Wilson said. “Help me check the prices, please.” The Wilsons were not rich and Mrs. Wilson was always careful with her money. She looked at the prices of things carefully. She bought lots of things in the supermarket. When they got home, the children said, “We don’t think you saved money by going to the supermarket." “Of course I did,” Mrs. Wilson said, “Everything was cheaper there.” “We know,” the children said, “but we came home by taxi because we had too many things to carry.

Her children were right.”，结合前文孩子说打车费超过了省下的钱，可知威尔逊夫人最后花的钱更多了。 3．从文中孩子能发现妈妈去超市购物并没有省钱，能看出孩子们很聪明，从整体情节可推断出。 4．因为去超市购物没省钱，所以可以推断出威尔逊夫人以后会在家附近买东西。 5．文章围绕威尔逊夫人购物想省钱却没省到钱展开，所以最佳标题是“Saving Money”。 主题07 人与社会——志愿服务 （25-26八年级下·全国·单元测试）Katie Steller has her own salon (美发厅). She often takes her red chair and scissors around the city to give free haircuts (理发). Edward was her first lucky customer. He looked to be in his 60s. While she was cutting his greying hair, he told her about moving closer to his adult children. These people like Edward are all having a hard time, and Steller knows the power of her job. “It’s more than a haircut,” she says. “I want it not only to be a way to show value and respect, but also to get to know people. I want to build relationships.” Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. As a teenager, she had a very serious illness and her hair thinned (变少) terribly. Her mother took Steller for her first formal haircut. “To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me made me feel like a normal person, it helped me feel cared about and less lonely,” she says. After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day. Then she began her Red Chair Project. She says, “I can’t fix their problems with free haircuts, but maybe I can help them feel less lonely for a moment.” Later she started the Steller Kindness Project, which invited people who do acts of kindness for a free haircut at Steller’s salon. The acts can be volunteering for snowstorm relief (救济), helping neighbours in need, etc. In exchange, they tell their stories, which Steller shares online. Her hope is that by reading about kind acts, others will do their own. So far Steller has had people help out from around the country. 1．What does Steller mean by saying “It’s more than a haircut” in Paragraph 4? A．A haircut can solve people’s problems.

D．We can win great respect by giving free haircuts. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．A 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了美发师Katie Steller通过免费理发的方式帮助他人的故事。她不仅创立了“红椅子项目”，还发起了“Steller善意项目”，用理发传递善意，帮助他人减少孤独感，并鼓励更多人参与善举。 1．第四段：“It’s more than a haircut,” she says. “I want it not only to be a way to show value and respect, but also to get to know people. I want to build relationships.”，Steller的原话说明，理发不只是单纯的剪发，更是传递价值、尊重与关怀的方式；因此，“It’s more than a haircut”的含义是理发能展现关怀、价值与尊重。 2．根据第七段“After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day. Then she began her Red Chair Project.”和第八段“She says, ‘I can’t fix their problems with free haircuts, but maybe I can help them feel less lonely for a moment.’”可知，Steller创立红椅子项目，是希望通过免费理发，让人们感受到被关怀，减少孤独感；因此，项目的目的是帮助孤独的人减少孤独感。 3．根据第一段“She often takes her red chair and scissors around the city to give free haircuts.”和倒数第二段“Later she started the Steller Kindness Project, which invited people who do acts of kindness for a free haircut... Her hope is that by reading about kind acts, others will do their own.”可知，Katie Steller为他人免费理发、发起善意项目，传递温暖并鼓励他人行善，这些行为体现了她善良且乐于助人的品质。 4．全文围绕Katie Steller通过免费理发这一简单善举，为他人带去温暖、减少孤独，并带动更多人践行善意展开。文章的核心是“免费理发这类简单的善举，有着重要的意义，能传递关怀与善意”；因此，最能体现主题的句子是“Simple acts of kindness like a free haircut matter.”。 38 / 39 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题05 阅读理解 记叙文 主题01 人与自我——个人经历、哲理感悟 Passage 1 （2025八年级下·内蒙古乌兰察布·期末）Most students have biology classes in the classrooms or the labs in China. But several days ago, I had a biology class outside in my American school. My biology teacher, Mr. Kwak, divided us into three groups and asked us to play a game about natural selection (选择) and how birds find food. He gave the first group one spoon per person, the second group forks and my group knives. I thought we were going hunting, so knives might work better. Surprisingly, he told us to pick up the beans on the grass with our tools. When the game started, all of us ran to the grass area. We squatted (蹲) down and looked for beans. It was hard to pick up something that small, especially from the grass. When I found a bean, it dropped back to the ground. When I finally picked up several beans, one of my friends ran into me. I couldn’t keep my balance and fell over. All my beans dropped to the ground. Just at that moment, Mr. Kwak called us back. I had to leave the grass and of course I got a bad result. I couldn’t help thinking that if I were a bird living on Galapagos Island, I would be dead soon. The fun game made me realize that natural selection is really competitive (竞争的).

Nils tried to stop him but was carried into the sky! High in the air, Nils held on tightly. He was afraid. Later, Morten became tired. Nils gave him some water and food. Morten caught him a fish. “It’s so good to have a friend,” Nils thought. Late that night, everyone was resting. A fox quietly took a goose and ran fast to the forest.

But these dolphins were not there for fun. They were swimming around the four humans in smaller and smaller circles. It seemed like they were gathering up the swimmers. Also, the dolphins were hitting their tails on the water. Were they trying to tell them something? That was when Rob saw the great white shark. It was very close—only a few meters away. It wasn’t a big one, but at 3 meters long, it was big enough. It was swimming towards them, gliding through the water, but when it saw the dolphins, it turned and swam away. Rob realized that the dolphins had saved their lives. Had they known there was a shark nearby and decided to protect them? The dolphins followed the swimmers until they got safely back to shore（岸）.

As the world’s first national park, Yellowstone is famous for the variety (种类) of its wildlife, but it is probably best known for its bears. These huge, strong animals can live for about 20 years. Despite a weight of up to 300 pounds, they can run at a speed of around 64 kilometres per hour and are also excellent swimmers. Last spring in Yellowstone, I followed a path that took me through a dark forest. When I finally stepped out of the trees, the view was breathtaking. An eagle (雕) flew over the mountains. They were reflected in the lake below. While I was photographing this amazing scene, I suddenly felt that I was being watched. Slowly, and with the camera still held to my eye, I turned … and froze. Only metres away from me was a bear. With water falling off its thick, brown hair, the bear stared back at me. Time stood still as the bear and I both waited to see who would move first. My legs started shaking. Somehow, I forced (强迫) my finger to press the button. A second later, the bear turned and ran back into the forest. When I recovered from the shock, I looked at my camera. My most frightening but magical experience was now kept forever in a single image. From time to time, I look at the photo as a reminder to show respect to all animals. It is after all we who are the visitors to their world. 1．Which of the following is TRUE about the bears in the passage? A．They have a weight of up to 30 pounds. B．They are huge but good at swimming.

She often takes her red chair and scissors around the city to give free haircuts (理发). Edward was her first lucky customer. He looked to be in his 60s. While she was cutting his greying hair, he told her about moving closer to his adult children. These people like Edward are all having a hard time, and Steller knows the power of her job. “It’s more than a haircut,” she says. “I want it not only to be a way to show value and respect, but also to get to know people. I want to build relationships.” Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. As a teenager, she had a very serious illness and her hair thinned (变少) terribly. Her mother took Steller for her first formal haircut. “To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me made me feel like a normal person, it helped me feel cared about and less lonely,” she says. After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day. Then she began her Red Chair Project. She says, “I can’t fix their problems with free haircuts, but maybe I can help them feel less lonely for a moment.” Later she started the Steller Kindness Project, which invited people who do acts of kindness for a free haircut at Steller’s salon. The acts can be volunteering for snowstorm relief (救济), helping neighbours in need, etc. In exchange, they tell their stories, which Steller shares online. Her hope is that by reading about kind acts, others will do their own. So far Steller has had people help out from around the country. 1．What does Steller mean by saying “It’s more than a haircut” in Paragraph 4? A．A haircut can solve people’s problems.
