Passage 1
(24-25八下·辽宁抚顺新抚区·期末)
Qinqiang Opera, which was from old pop Chinese songs and dances in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, is one of China’s oldest operas. It started during the Qin Dynasty (221 BC-207 BC), when farmers and soldiers used it for fun and comfort. The opera shows the daily lives, hard work, and feelings of ancient Chinese people. Its songs and dances also teach about Chinese language, culture and history.
However, in the 1990s, pop and Western music became very popular, and fewer people cared about Qinqiang Opera. Young people especially liked the new music more. Many actors had to leave during this time. Some opera groups closed, and people nearly forgot the old performance skills. To make money, artists did other jobs like selling clothes, starting small businesses or acting in movies. But a few never gave up-they kept practicing.
In 2006, things changed when the government named Qinqiang Opera “an important cultural treasure”. This helped people focus on it again. Schools started teaching about it, and theaters mixed traditional opera with modern styles to attract young people. Ten years ago, most audiences (观众) were old, but now many young people watch and love Qinqiang Opera. More young actors are joining too, and schools train them to keep the art alive (有活力).
The return of Qinqiang Opera not only brings young people back to Chinese culture, but also shows old arts can stay meaningful even in today’s fast-changing world.

Passage 2
(24-25八下·辽宁阜新太平区·期末)
Many people think wheat straw (麦秸) is the waste on the farm. However, Wu Cui, a straw plaiting (草编) artist from Helan County, Ningxia, can turn straw into eye-catching artworks.
Wu, 29, is the sixth-generation inheritor (第六代继承人) of straw plaiting. Learning from her uncle, Wu made things with straw when she was a child. She made the straw-plaiting her job after she finished college three years ago.
Before plaiting straw, Wu usually spends a long time finding the right straw. Then she ties them up and dries them. Also, Wu needs to put the straw in warm water so that the straw won’t break easily.

We often have a lot of stress in our lives. Sometimes it’s useful. As the saying goes, “No pressure, no power.” For example, it can help us get good grades on tests. But if we are always under pressure, it may be bad for our health. So, how should we deal with it?
Talk to others. When we are stressed out, we should go to our family or friends for good communication. This can make the stress become less and help us find ways to relax. As a result, we will feel better.
Do something relaxing. Find a quiet place and don’t think about anything. Read our favorite books, listen to our favorite music or sing our favorite songs. Of course, we can also go to the cinema to enjoy a wonderful movie. If someone likes staying inside, it will be a good idea to do some housework.
Do sports. Go outdoors to breathe the fresh air and do proper sports such as walking, swimming, and mountain climbing. Sports are of great help to us. When we are stressed out, doing sports can make muscles (肌肉) move a lot and return to normal.
I have a friend. She had a lot of pressure every day. A doctor told her to jump rope when she was under a lot of pressure. She followed the doctor’s advice.

Passage 2
(24-25八下·辽宁抚顺望花区·期末)
Elephants are one of the most popular animals to see at zoos. However, in Thailand, elephants are more than just popular. They are loved by the Thai people. In fact, the elephant was on the old Thai flag. They are also found in art all over Thailand.
In the past, Thai elephants were used to do many things. Elephants are very strong animals. They can carry people as well as objects (物品). In fact, elephants can lift objects up to 700 kilograms. They can carry heavy objects for long distances, too. A healthy elephant could work for 25 to 40 years.
Elephants are also smart animals. They can learn to draw, do math, and perform shows for people. One Thai king even had 20,000 elephants trained for fighting in the late 1600s.
Sadly, the number of elephants in Thailand has fallen far below what it once was. In the past, there were over 100,000 elephants in Thailand. Now, there are only about 2,700.
Luckily, things are different now. Many people in Thailand want to protect the elephants. Most elephants do not work or perform shows anymore. Instead, people prefer to see the elephants in their natural homes. They can wash the elephants in rivers. They can also feed them and walk with them. Because of this, the elephants can live close to their normal lives. This means that they can live longer and healthier lives.

Passage 3
(24-25八下·辽宁鞍山·期末)
In the town of Lampang in northern Thailand, there is an unusual group of musicians. They play many different kinds of music—from traditional Thai songs to music by Beethoven. Both children and adults love this group. What makes them so popular? Is it their music? Their looks? Yes, it’s both of these things, but it’s also something else: they’re elephants.
These musical elephants are from the Thai Lampang. The TECC protects elephants. It teaches people to understand and care for these huge but gentle animals. And, like many zoos around the world, the TECC encourages elephants to paint. Richard Lair works with the TECC. He knew that elephants hear better than they see. So he had an idea: if elephants are smart and they have good hearing, maybe they can play music. To test his idea, Lair and a friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra (管弦乐队). During a show, the elephants played different instruments, including the drums. They also used their voices and trunks to make sounds. But can elephants really make music properly? Yes, says Lair. They’re very creative. Humans may encourage the animals to play instruments, but the elephants make their own songs; they don’t just copy other trainers or other people. There are now albums (专辑) of the group’s music, which make money for the TECC. And the music these artists create is pretty amazing.
33.What does the underlined word “them” refer to?
A.Musicians. B.Children. C.Adults. D.Singers.
34.Why did Richard Lair start the Thai Elephant Orchestra?
A.Because he wanted to make money.
B.Because he knew elephants were good at painting.
C.Because he thought elephants might be able to play music.
D.Because he wanted to protect the animals.

A.Their music helps raise money for TECC.
B.They create new songs by themselves, not only copy others.
C.Humans must encourage them to play.
D.Their large size makes their music amazing.
36.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.How to train elephants to dance.
B.The elephants that play music in Thailand.
C.The popular music in northern Thailand.
D.We should love and protect elephants.
Passage 4
(24-25八下·辽宁大连高新园区·期末)
Fish babies in space! In a space study on zebrafish, Chinese scientists have set a new record (纪录). They successfully got four zebrafish to live and grow in a closed water world.
The zebrafish went to China’s space station on the Shenzhou XVIII spacecraft on April 25. Since then, they have been living in a closed fish tank (缸) with some plants. The fish grew up and had babies in 43 days.
In their special closed environment, the plants made air for the fish and the fish’s waste (排泄物) gave the plants food. The scientists gave the fish food through a special needle (针管).
Such a closed-loop ecosystem (封闭生态系统) is important for future studies in space. It means that plants and animals can live in space more simply and easily.
The scientists found that the zebrafish didn’t act the same way in space as on Earth. For example, they often swam on their backs. The low gravity (重力) in space is a big reason. On Earth, gravity pulls everything to Earth’s center, and animals can find their way easily. Gravity also makes their bodies work harder and become stronger.
Humans and zebrafish share 70% of the same genes (基因). So the new finding will help scientists better understand human health.
37.What do we know about the space study?
A.Scientists from different countries did it together.
B.The zebrafish gave birth to four babies at last.
C.It took place in a closed environment.
D.It lasted for less than one month.
38.Which picture should be in the circle to show the ecosystem in the fish tank?
A. B. C. D.
39.What was the result of the low gravity in space?
A.Human bodies got stronger.
B.Animals could easily find way.
C.The zebrafish swim upside down.
D.The zebrafish swam in the same direction.
40.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The plan for studying human genes. B.The findings of the space study.
C.Further studies on zebrafish. D.The importance of the study.

Passage 2
(24-25八下·辽宁大连中山区·期末)
Do you ever wish for a better memory during the exam season? If Doraemon were your friend, he might give you his “Memory Bread”. Wait, don’t know who Doraemon is?
Doraemon is a round, blue-and-white robotic cat from the 22nd century. He travels back in time to help Nobita (大雄), a kind but lazy boy. Nobita often has trouble with school and life. Doraemon uses tools from the future to solve the boy’s problems.
The robotic cat, created by two Japanese artists, first appeared in a magazine in 1969. Since then, he has won the hearts of millions around the world through TV shows, movies and more.
One big reason for his popularity is the 4D pocket on his belly. This magic pocket holds many amazing tools. The “Anywhere Door” is a pink door. Just think of a place, step through the door and there you are. The “Take-copter” is a tiny fan. You can fly as soon as you put it on your head. And if you press “Memory Bread” onto a page and eat it, you’ll be able to remember everything on that page. These fun inventions make Doraemon exciting to watch.
But Doraemon is more than fun. It also teaches valuable lessons. In the “Memory Bread” episode (集), for example, Nobita eats too much bread and gets a stomachache. In the end, all the knowledge he ate ends up in the toilet. The message is clear: There’s no shortcut (捷径) to learning.

Liu Cixin, the writer of the novel The Three-Body Problem, once said, “Lots of people love my book. In fact, many of my ideas came from Physics.”
For many students, Physics is boring and difficult. They don’t like it. To help students learn Physics more easily, the book series (系列) That’s where Big Bang in Physics: 128 Sessions of Physics Courses was born. It includes seven books by Li Jianlong and mainly introduces Physics knowledge through comics and stories.
Students usually begin to learn Physics in Grade 8. The contents (内容) of this book series are as difficult as those in the Physics textbook for the first term. But Li explains many key points through comic stories, making children understand them in easy ways.
Li has worked hard to spread (传播) scientific knowledge through interesting comics. “I hope children can not only improve their knowledge, but also have fun by reading these books,” said Li.
It’s crucial for young people to learn Physics. Physics makes our life better and easier. For example, with the help of Physics, people have made cars, ships and planes. What’s more, learning Physics helps kids understand many phenomena (现象) in daily life. Why does the rainbow (彩虹) come out after the rain? Why does thunder always come after lightning? You can get the answers after you learn Physics.
“I’m preparing for a new series now. It is fit for eighth graders in the second term and covers more difficult Physics knowledge. I also plan to write comic books about Maths and Chemistry in the future,” Li added.

①There’s nothing quite like falling sound asleep after a full day of work. Like people, animals need to rest after working hard. Some animals sleep in water. Some dig holes under the ground. Some even sleep high in trees or under leaves (叶子). But they all find a way to rest.
②Some animals in the sea sleep in strange ways. Fish sleep with their eyes open. They seem to look ahead far into the sea while they rest. Sea otters (海獭) sometimes sleep in beds of the plants that grow in the sea. This keeps them from moving away. Parrotfish (鹦嘴鱼) blow something from their mouths when they are ready to sleep. Then a bubble (气泡) will be formed around them. The bubble protects them from harm (伤害) while they sleep.
③Some animals sleep under the ground. Chipmunks (花栗鼠) sleep curled up (蜷缩) in a ball. Their beds are made of leaves and grass. In winter, they sleep for two weeks and wake up to eat the stored (贮存) food. Then they go back to sleep for another two weeks before waking up again. Some desert frogs (蛙) dig underground holes during the hot, dry season. A frog may stay in its hole for months.
④High above the ground, monkeys find leafy places in trees each evening before they sleep. The tall trees help to keep monkeys safe during the night. Some insects (昆虫) even sleep under the leaf that will be their next meal. A bee may climb down into a flower to rest. When it climbs out the next morning, it is ready for work.
53.What animals sleep with a bubble around them?

Passage 3
(24-25八下·辽宁沈阳皇姑区·期末)
People always say the music from their younger years is the best compared to other times. This may be because of something that can be called the “memory bump” (记忆隆起).
According to the BBC, the memory bump means that our memories from ages 10 to 30 are very strong. This time heavily shapes our interests, such as our favorite books, films, sports stars, and especially music. This is because there is a “safe” place in our brain to store the musical memories. The place is well protected against aging problems. As a result, the music we listen to during these years usually has a lasting influence. We usually remember the music in our early years more fondly (充满感情地) than music from other times in our lives.
More importantly, “music is episodic (有许多片段的),” Professor Robert Cutietta at the University of Southern California said. “If you look at an artwork or something, you can look at it and leave. But music is over time.”
Music from our younger years mixes happy and sad feelings when we listen to it. When the songs can be connected to your experience, memories of those experiences will come back as you listen to the songs again.
Sometimes, with a change in experience, the sadness you felt before when listening to a song can later turn into joy. This can explain why listening to something from a difficult time in your younger life can bring a feeling of relief now.
57.When are our memories very strong?
A.From ages 5 to 10. B.From ages 10 to 30.
C.When we are safe. D.When we are happy.
58.Why do we remember the music from our younger years?
A.Because a more protected area in the brain stores it.
B.Because we listen to it more often than other music.
C.Because it is much easier to understand and remember.

Passage 1
(24-25八下·辽宁大连甘井子区·期末)
①Pull-ups (引体向上) are one of the most common exercises. But they’re hard to do in the right way.
②Recently, three junior middle school students from Beijing made a monitor (监测器) to help people do pull-ups better. They won the first prize for their work in the 44th Beijing Youth Science Creation Competition in March.
③The three are from different schools in Beijing. Their shared interest in programming brought them together in a class at a science museum. “Each of us was good at different parts of programming, so we decided to take part in the competition as a team,” said 13-year-old Zhang Luotu, the team leader from The Experimental High School Attached to Beijing Normal University.
④“Many classmates were doing pull-ups the wrong way without knowing they could get hurt,” said Zhang. “So we made this to help.”
⑤The monitor shows how muscles (肌肉) are doing the workout. It has two parts—two small sensors (传感器) and a pair of gloves. People put the sensors on their arms. When they do pull-ups, the sensors test the electrical signals (电信号) from each arm. Then, the monitor checks if the numbers match (相同). If not, the gloves shine a red light. This can help people adjust (调整) quickly.
⑥“Pull-ups are a common PE test in many places, but we think they should be more than that,” Zhang said. “They are a great exercise and we should try to do them in the right way.”
65.Why did the three students make the pull-up monitor?
A.To win a science competition. B.To improve their PE test scores.
C.To show their programming skills. D.To help classmates do pull-ups correctly.
66.How did the three students form a team?
A.They were very good friends. B.They were in the same school.
C.They met in a programming class. D.They knew each other from PE class.
67.What is Paragraph ⑤ mainly about?
A.How the monitor works. B.What the monitor looks like.
C.How the students made the monitor. D.Why the monitor needs many sensors.
68.What’s the best title (标题) for the text?
A.Time to get fit B.Getting it just right
C.Ways to do pull-ups D.Finding the best exercise
Passage 2

Thirty years ago, China started to build its own navigation satellite system (卫星导航系统), Beidou. It took its name from the Big Dipper stars, which are the guiding light for people around the world.
In 1994, China began making the Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS), so it wouldn’t have to use navigation systems from other countries. It’s much safer this way.
In 2020, after over 20 years of hard work, Beidou completed its global network (全球网络). It placed China among the groups of countries and areas with their own global navigation networks. The US, Russia and the European Union (欧盟) are the other three.
Beidou does not just show where you are. It’s also the first to let you send messages where there’s no phone signal or Internet. For example, you can use it to send messages to others in a deep mountain.
The BDS is more than a system. It shows China’s power in science and technology. Now, over 120 countries and areas are using it. Wherever you are, Beidou is there to help you find your way.

①The World Tourism Organization says that space will soon become a popular place to go on holidays—possibly by 2035. It means the dream of space holidays might soon come true.
②One Japanese company is planning a space holiday centre. It will look like a bicycle wheel and have a hotel for 100 people and a big theme (主题) park. It will travel around the earth at a height of 300 km. The company has high hopes that the space holiday centre will be ready by 2030. The chairman of the company says he thinks that flying to the centre will probably be quicker than flying to Singapore from Hong Kong. When they reach the centre, tourists will take trips to the moon or go for walks in space. What about the cost? Well, the company believes that people will be happy to pay about $100,000 for a trip, but they think that as more people want to go, the trip will become much cheaper.
③The plan of the Japanese company for the space holiday center is really exciting. At the same time, in space tourism, American companies also have very creative ideas. An American hotel group is also thinking of building a hotel called the Lunar Hotel on the moon. Most of the hotel will be under the ground, so it won’t become too hot or too cold. The rooms will look just like the ones on the earth. The guests will eat universe food for lunch. The cooks will just push a button to mix dried food with water, and then it will become a delicious meal! There will be little or no dirt (灰尘) and there won’t be much water, so people can’t wash faces and hands.

Passage 2
(24-25八下·辽宁大连高新园区·期末)
Do you like to travel alone? Or do you think it is better to travel with friends? If you are still deciding, please read on. I will explain the advantages of both ways.
One of the greatest things about travelling alone is that you can make the rules about where you go and what you eat. You will be surprised at what you discover about yourself without any influence.
Travelling alone really shows you what you are made of and helps you to discover inner strength you didn’t know you had. Besides, it also gives you time to think, learn and grow.
It’s easy to think that travelling alone is lonely. Although that may sometimes be true, you are hardly ever alone. It can provide a chance for you to communicate with the locals and meet travellers from all corners of the world, which may become your most interesting experience.
In fact, travelling to know more about the world is not easy. There is research, flight bookings, and choices to deal with, not to mention that things might go wrong. One of the main advantages of travelling with friends is being able to share these things and support each other, even if it’s just someone who will wait with your bag when you go to the bathroom.
It’s true that travelling with others can give you a sense of safety, especially if you are new to travel. You know that if you get lost or have your wallet stolen, there’s someone to hold your hand when you try to explain your situation at a foreign police station.
There is no right or wrong way to travel—Whether you travel alone or team up with friends, it depends on you.
85.How does the writer introduce the topic of the passage in Paragraph 1?
A.By telling a story. B.By giving examples. C.By asking questions. D.By describing a scene.

Passage 1
(24-25八下·辽宁抚顺新抚区·期末)
Qinqiang Opera, which was from old pop Chinese songs and dances in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, is one of China’s oldest operas. It started during the Qin Dynasty (221 BC-207 BC), when farmers and soldiers used it for fun and comfort. The opera shows the daily lives, hard work, and feelings of ancient Chinese people. Its songs and dances also teach about Chinese language, culture and history.
However, in the 1990s, pop and Western music became very popular, and fewer people cared about Qinqiang Opera. Young people especially liked the new music more. Many actors had to leave during this time. Some opera groups closed, and people nearly forgot the old performance skills. To make money, artists did other jobs like selling clothes, starting small businesses or acting in movies. But a few never gave up-they kept practicing.
In 2006, things changed when the government named Qinqiang Opera “an important cultural treasure”. This helped people focus on it again. Schools started teaching about it, and theaters mixed traditional opera with modern styles to attract young people. Ten years ago, most audiences (观众) were old, but now many young people watch and love Qinqiang Opera. More young actors are joining too, and schools train them to keep the art alive (有活力).
The return of Qinqiang Opera not only brings young people back to Chinese culture, but also shows old arts can stay meaningful even in today’s fast-changing world.
1.When did Qinqiang Opera start?
A.In the 1990s. B.In the Qin Dynasty.
C.After 2006. D.About ten years ago.
2.What can we infer (推断) about Qinqiang Opera actors in the 1990s?
A.The government stopped them. B.They wanted to sing pop songs.
C.They thought the opera was too old. D.They made less money than before.
3.Which word can take the place of “attract” in Paragraph 3?
A.Interest. B.Check. C.Hurt. D.Decide.
4.What is the best title of the text?
A.Qinqiang Opera and Modern Music.
B.Why Opera Groups Closed in the 1990s.
C.The History and Return of Qinqiang Opera.

Passage 3
(24-25八下·辽宁鞍山·期末)
In the town of Lampang in northern Thailand, there is an unusual group of musicians. They play many different kinds of music—from traditional Thai songs to music by Beethoven. Both children and adults love this group. What makes them so popular? Is it their music? Their looks? Yes, it’s both of these things, but it’s also something else: they’re elephants.
These musical elephants are from the Thai Lampang. The TECC protects elephants. It teaches people to understand and care for these huge but gentle animals. And, like many zoos around the world, the TECC encourages elephants to paint. Richard Lair works with the TECC. He knew that elephants hear better than they see. So he had an idea: if elephants are smart and they have good hearing, maybe they can play music. To test his idea, Lair and a friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra (管弦乐队). During a show, the elephants played different instruments, including the drums. They also used their voices and trunks to make sounds. But can elephants really make music properly? Yes, says Lair. They’re very creative. Humans may encourage the animals to play instruments, but the elephants make their own songs; they don’t just copy other trainers or other people. There are now albums (专辑) of the group’s music, which make money for the TECC. And the music these artists create is pretty amazing.

Passage 4
(24-25八下·辽宁大连高新园区·期末)
Fish babies in space! In a space study on zebrafish, Chinese scientists have set a new record (纪录). They successfully got four zebrafish to live and grow in a closed water world.
The zebrafish went to China’s space station on the Shenzhou XVIII spacecraft on April 25. Since then, they have been living in a closed fish tank (缸) with some plants. The fish grew up and had babies in 43 days.
In their special closed environment, the plants made air for the fish and the fish’s waste (排泄物) gave the plants food. The scientists gave the fish food through a special needle (针管).
Such a closed-loop ecosystem (封闭生态系统) is important for future studies in space. It means that plants and animals can live in space more simply and easily.
The scientists found that the zebrafish didn’t act the same way in space as on Earth. For example, they often swam on their backs. The low gravity (重力) in space is a big reason. On Earth, gravity pulls everything to Earth’s center, and animals can find their way easily. Gravity also makes their bodies work harder and become stronger.
Humans and zebrafish share 70% of the same genes (基因). So the new finding will help scientists better understand human health.
37.What do we know about the space study?
A.Scientists from different countries did it together.
B.The zebrafish gave birth to four babies at last.
C.It took place in a closed environment.
D.It lasted for less than one month.
38.Which picture should be in the circle to show the ecosystem in the fish tank?
A. B. C. D.
39.What was the result of the low gravity in space?
A.Human bodies got stronger.
B.Animals could easily find way.
C.The zebrafish swim upside down.
D.The zebrafish swam in the same direction.
40.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The plan for studying human genes. B.The findings of the space study.
C.Further studies on zebrafish. D.The importance of the study.
【答案】37.C 38.B 39.C 40.D
【导语】本文讲述了中国科学家开展的斑马鱼太空研究,介绍了研究中斑马鱼在封闭生态系统的生存情况、太空低重力对其行为的影响,以及该研究对理解人类健康的重要意义。

Passage 2
(24-25八下·辽宁大连中山区·期末)
Do you ever wish for a better memory during the exam season? If Doraemon were your friend, he might give you his “Memory Bread”. Wait, don’t know who Doraemon is?
Doraemon is a round, blue-and-white robotic cat from the 22nd century. He travels back in time to help Nobita (大雄), a kind but lazy boy. Nobita often has trouble with school and life. Doraemon uses tools from the future to solve the boy’s problems.
The robotic cat, created by two Japanese artists, first appeared in a magazine in 1969. Since then, he has won the hearts of millions around the world through TV shows, movies and more.
One big reason for his popularity is the 4D pocket on his belly. This magic pocket holds many amazing tools. The “Anywhere Door” is a pink door. Just think of a place, step through the door and there you are. The “Take-copter” is a tiny fan. You can fly as soon as you put it on your head. And if you press “Memory Bread” onto a page and eat it, you’ll be able to remember everything on that page. These fun inventions make Doraemon exciting to watch.
But Doraemon is more than fun. It also teaches valuable lessons. In the “Memory Bread” episode (集), for example, Nobita eats too much bread and gets a stomachache. In the end, all the knowledge he ate ends up in the toilet. The message is clear: There’s no shortcut (捷径) to learning.
So, kids, though it’s fun to dream of magic tools, you already have the power to learn and grow. Even without “Memory Bread”, you can still perform well on your own.

In winter, they sleep for two weeks and wake up to eat the stored (贮存) food. Then they go back to sleep for another two weeks before waking up again. Some desert frogs (蛙) dig underground holes during the hot, dry season. A frog may stay in its hole for months.
④High above the ground, monkeys find leafy places in trees each evening before they sleep. The tall trees help to keep monkeys safe during the night.

Passage 3
(24-25八下·辽宁沈阳皇姑区·期末)
People always say the music from their younger years is the best compared to other times. This may be because of something that can be called the “memory bump” (记忆隆起).
According to the BBC, the memory bump means that our memories from ages 10 to 30 are very strong. This time heavily shapes our interests, such as our favorite books, films, sports stars, and especially music. This is because there is a “safe” place in our brain to store the musical memories. The place is well protected against aging problems. As a result, the music we listen to during these years usually has a lasting influence. We usually remember the music in our early years more fondly (充满感情地) than music from other times in our lives.
More importantly, “music is episodic (有许多片段的),” Professor Robert Cutietta at the University of Southern California said. “If you look at an artwork or something, you can look at it and leave. But music is over time.”
Music from our younger years mixes happy and sad feelings when we listen to it. When the songs can be connected to your experience, memories of those experiences will come back as you listen to the songs again.
Sometimes, with a change in experience, the sadness you felt before when listening to a song can later turn into joy. This can explain why listening to something from a difficult time in your younger life can bring a feeling of relief now.
57.When are our memories very strong?
A.From ages 5 to 10. B.From ages 10 to 30.
C.When we are safe. D.When we are happy.
58.Why do we remember the music from our younger years?
A.Because a more protected area in the brain stores it.
B.Because we listen to it more often than other music.
C.Because it is much easier to understand and remember.
D.Because young people have better memories than the old.
59.What idea does Professor Robert Cutietta probably agree with about music?
A.Music from our younger years is the best.
B.Listening to music is like looking at an artwork.
C.We can forget music from childhood very quickly.
D.Listening to music can make us think of our old times.
60.What does the underlined word “relief” probably mean in the last paragraph?

Passage 1
(24-25八下·辽宁大连甘井子区·期末)
①Pull-ups (引体向上) are one of the most common exercises. But they’re hard to do in the right way.
②Recently, three junior middle school students from Beijing made a monitor (监测器) to help people do pull-ups better. They won the first prize for their work in the 44th Beijing Youth Science Creation Competition in March.
③The three are from different schools in Beijing. Their shared interest in programming brought them together in a class at a science museum. “Each of us was good at different parts of programming, so we decided to take part in the competition as a team,” said 13-year-old Zhang Luotu, the team leader from The Experimental High School Attached to Beijing Normal University.
④“Many classmates were doing pull-ups the wrong way without knowing they could get hurt,” said Zhang. “So we made this to help.”
⑤The monitor shows how muscles (肌肉) are doing the workout. It has two parts—two small sensors (传感器) and a pair of gloves. People put the sensors on their arms. When they do pull-ups, the sensors test the electrical signals (电信号) from each arm. Then, the monitor checks if the numbers match (相同). If not, the gloves shine a red light. This can help people adjust (调整) quickly.
⑥“Pull-ups are a common PE test in many places, but we think they should be more than that,” Zhang said. “They are a great exercise and we should try to do them in the right way.”
65.Why did the three students make the pull-up monitor?
A.To win a science competition. B.To improve their PE test scores.
C.To show their programming skills. D.To help classmates do pull-ups correctly.
66.How did the three students form a team?
A.They were very good friends. B.They were in the same school.
C.They met in a programming class. D.They knew each other from PE class.
67.What is Paragraph ⑤ mainly about?
A.How the monitor works. B.What the monitor looks like.
C.How the students made the monitor. D.Why the monitor needs many sensors.
68.What’s the best title (标题) for the text?
A.Time to get fit B.Getting it just right
C.Ways to do pull-ups D.Finding the best exercise
【答案】65.D 66.C 67.A 68.B

①The World Tourism Organization says that space will soon become a popular place to go on holidays—possibly by 2035. It means the dream of space holidays might soon come true.
②One Japanese company is planning a space holiday centre. It will look like a bicycle wheel and have a hotel for 100 people and a big theme (主题) park. It will travel around the earth at a height of 300 km. The company has high hopes that the space holiday centre will be ready by 2030. The chairman of the company says he thinks that flying to the centre will probably be quicker than flying to Singapore from Hong Kong. When they reach the centre, tourists will take trips to the moon or go for walks in space. What about the cost? Well, the company believes that people will be happy to pay about $100,000 for a trip, but they think that as more people want to go, the trip will become much cheaper.
③The plan of the Japanese company for the space holiday center is really exciting. At the same time, in space tourism, American companies also have very creative ideas. An American hotel group is also thinking of building a hotel called the Lunar Hotel on the moon. Most of the hotel will be under the ground, so it won’t become too hot or too cold.

Passage 2
(24-25八下·辽宁大连高新园区·期末)
Do you like to travel alone? Or do you think it is better to travel with friends? If you are still deciding, please read on. I will explain the advantages of both ways.
One of the greatest things about travelling alone is that you can make the rules about where you go and what you eat. You will be surprised at what you discover about yourself without any influence.
Travelling alone really shows you what you are made of and helps you to discover inner strength you didn’t know you had. Besides, it also gives you time to think, learn and grow.
It’s easy to think that travelling alone is lonely. Although that may sometimes be true, you are hardly ever alone. It can provide a chance for you to communicate with the locals and meet travellers from all corners of the world, which may become your most interesting experience.
In fact, travelling to know more about the world is not easy. There is research, flight bookings, and choices to deal with, not to mention that things might go wrong. One of the main advantages of travelling with friends is being able to share these things and support each other, even if it’s just someone who will wait with your bag when you go to the bathroom.
It’s true that travelling with others can give you a sense of safety, especially if you are new to travel. You know that if you get lost or have your wallet stolen, there’s someone to hold your hand when you try to explain your situation at a foreign police station.
There is no right or wrong way to travel—Whether you travel alone or team up with friends, it depends on you.
85.How does the writer introduce the topic of the passage in Paragraph 1?

85.推理判断题。根据“Do you like to travel alone? Or do you think it is better to travel with friends?”可知,作者通过提问的方式引入文章主题。故选C。
86.词句猜测题。根据“One of the greatest things about travelling alone is that you can make the rules about where you go and what you eat. You will be surprised at what you discover about yourself without any influence.”可知,独自旅行时可以自己决定去何处、吃什么,不受他人影响,由此可推测“influence”意为“影响”。故选A。
