Passage 1
(24-25八年级下·福建三明·期末)
Early every morning, 12-year-old Lin Tao walks two hours up a mountain road to school. His village lies deep in the mountains of western China. The mountain roads and heavy rains often make travel hard. But Lin Tao never complains (抱怨) —he knows education is his ticket to a better life.
One Tuesday, dark clouds covered the sky as Lin Tao left home. “Wait” his mother called, handing him an old umbrella. Lin Tao took it and left home with his schoolbag. Soon it rained and the road turned muddy (泥泞的). The wooden bridge over the river shook in the wind. Just as he stepped onto the bridge, the board under his foot broke. He fell into the cold water.
Lin Tao held a tree branch (树枝) quickly, and the water washed his schoolbag away. “Help” he shouted. Luckily, Uncle Wang, a farmer, heard him and rushed over with a rope (绳子). After pulling Lin Tao out, Uncle Wang carried him on his back across the broken bridge. “Don’t worry.” he said, “We’ll fix (修补) the bridge tomorrow.”
That evening, the whole village and Lin Tao’s teacher, Miss Chen, came to the river. “Together, we can make the road safer,” they said. For three days, they rebuilt the bridge and cleared the road. On the fourth morning, Lin Tao saw something amazing: the village built a new small bridge, and the lights shone along the road!

Passage 3
(24-25八年级下·福建厦门·期末)
Once, a small pebble lay at the bottom of a wide, flowing river. Day after day, the water rushed over it, smoothing its rough edges (粗糙的边缘) and shaping it into something new. The pebble often wondered, “Why must I bear this pressure? Why can’t I be who I am?”
One day, a fish swam by and noticed the pebble’s sad look. “Why do you hate the river?” the fish asked. “The water is not your enemy (敌人). It is your teacher.”
The pebble didn’t believe the fish’s words. “A teacher? But it hurts. It changes me.”
The fish smiled. “Yes, it changes you. But look at what you are becoming. You were once rough, but now you are smooth and beautiful. The river is not trying to harm you; it is helping you grow.”
After thinking about what the fish said for several days, the pebble came to realize that without the river’s lasting flow, it would have remained rough.
In life, we are often like the pebble. We face challenges (挑战) and pressures that we can’t deal with. We refuse to accept the change, fearing it will break us. But just as the river shapes the pebble, the challenges shape us. They smooth our rough edges, and help us grow into stronger, wiser persons. We should accept the flow happily because it is not there to hurt us—it is there to improve us.

B.Rivers can change the shape of pebbles.
C.Challenges and pressures in life help us grow.
D.Fish are wise and can teach us important lessons.
Passage 4
(24-25八年级下·福建泉州·期末)
Travel is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get, especially when you’re using a blind box plane ticket (机票盲盒).
Fan Zhihua, who enjoys going wherever and whenever she wants, bought her first blind box plane ticket in March last year. The 29-year-old went to Zhangye, Gansu Province. It’s not a famous place, but it does bring surprises.
When Fan arrived in Zhangye, she found that she was able to share a car with a few other people. This let them save money, because many of the area’s places of interest are far from each other. So Fan found some kind young women to join. “The best part of the trip is this way of travelling, relaxing and wonderful,” Fan said.

Passage 6
(24-25八年级下·福建漳州·期末)
Six children were in the hospital. They were very sick, but the doctors didn’t know what to do. They called Dr. Richard Besser, an expert (专家) on uncommon illnesses.
Finding a Cause
First, Dr. Besser needed to find the cause of the illness. He looked for germs (微生物) in the children’s bodies. In every child, Dr. Besser found the same type of the bacteria (细菌) E. coli. He then looked at the bacteria’s DNA.It showed him that this type of E. coli was dangerous.
Dr. Besser knew E. coli could move from animals to humans. Had the children touched animals that carried the bacteria? Besser found other E. coli cases in the area where the children lived. But it wasn’t enough.
Besser then made a survey of what the sick children had eaten. They had all eaten cheese, apple juice, and fish. He then made a survey of what healthy children in the area had eaten. They had eaten cheese and fish, but not the apple juice.
Case Closed
Besser went to where the apple juice was made. He saw animals around the apple trees. He also saw the workers using dirty apples on the ground. More importantly, he saw that the apples were not washed before the juice was made, and that the juice was not heated. Doing these things would kill the bacteria. Besser then knew it was the apple juice that made the children sick.

Passage 7
(24-25八年级下·福建福州·期末)
When I was young, my mom was not good at cooking, but she always wanted to make breakfast and dinner for my dad and me. She thought it was the way to show her love for us. However, the meals she made were pretty special—she would make breakfast food for dinner.
One night after school, when Dad and I entered the kitchen, we saw my mom was very upset. As we came closer, we saw at least ten pieces of burnt bread on the table. I knew that she wasted them again. Before my mom said anything, my dad gave her a hug, grabbed (抓) a piece of bread and said, “Darling, thank you for making the delicious bread for us.” And he turned around to me and asked me what happened at school. I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember that he put some butter (黄油) on the burnt places, and ate it up as usual with every single bite (咬).
After dinner, my mom said sorry to us for making the burnt bread. Dad smiled at her and said, “It’ OK. I love burnt bread, dear. You did it very well.” The other day after dinner, I asked him if he really liked that burnt bread. What he said that night is worth remembering for my whole life. He said, “Mom is busy and tired every day. She just doesn’t want us to be hungry. And a bit burnt food never hurts anyone.”
As time went by, I became to know that life is not perfect and nobody is perfect. So don’t be angry if the bread gets burnt. No matter what kind of situation it is in between, husband and wife or parent and child, a bit of understanding of each other will make the world better. Be kind to those around you and the sunshine will exactly come around you.

A long time ago in Greece, there lived a smart scientist named Archimedes. He was interested in numbers, shapes and how things worked. People from near and far often turned to him with problems. Archimedes always surprised them with clever answers.
One day, King Hiero asked for his help. The king ordered a worker to make a gold crown (皇冠). Though the crown looked perfect, some people said that it was not made of pure gold (纯金). The king began to worry. Had the worker mixed in some cheap silver (银)? “I must know the truth,” he said to the scientist, “but you must not break my crown.”
Archimedes thought about the problem day and night. One afternoon, as he stepped into his bath, he saw the water rise and spill (溢出) over the sides. Suddenly, he had an idea! Shouting “Eureka! Eureka!”, he rushed out.
Archimedes quickly set up his test. He filled a bowl with water and prepared two bars—one gold, one silver. Both were the same weight (重量) as the crown. First, he put in the silver and saw how much water spilled. Then he did the same with the gold and noticed that less water spilled.
Finally, he tested the crown. It pushed out more water than the gold bar, showing the crown was not made of pure gold. Thanks to Archimedes’ sharp mind and a warm bath, the answer was finally found!

One Tuesday, dark clouds covered the sky as Lin Tao left home. “Wait” his mother called, handing him an old umbrella. Lin Tao took it and left home with his schoolbag. Soon it rained and the road turned muddy (泥泞的). The wooden bridge over the river shook in the wind. Just as he stepped onto the bridge, the board under his foot broke. He fell into the cold water.

After pulling Lin Tao out, Uncle Wang carried him on his back across the broken bridge. “Don’t worry.” he said, “We’ll fix (修补) the bridge tomorrow.”
That evening, the whole village and Lin Tao’s teacher, Miss Chen, came to the river. “Together, we can make the road safer,” they said. For three days, they rebuilt the bridge and cleared the road.

Passage 3
(24-25八年级下·福建厦门·期末)
Once, a small pebble lay at the bottom of a wide, flowing river. Day after day, the water rushed over it, smoothing its rough edges (粗糙的边缘) and shaping it into something new. The pebble often wondered, “Why must I bear this pressure? Why can’t I be who I am?”
One day, a fish swam by and noticed the pebble’s sad look. “Why do you hate the river?” the fish asked. “The water is not your enemy (敌人). It is your teacher.”
The pebble didn’t believe the fish’s words. “A teacher? But it hurts. It changes me.”
The fish smiled. “Yes, it changes you. But look at what you are becoming. You were once rough, but now you are smooth and beautiful. The river is not trying to harm you; it is helping you grow.”
After thinking about what the fish said for several days, the pebble came to realize that without the river’s lasting flow, it would have remained rough.
In life, we are often like the pebble. We face challenges (挑战) and pressures that we can’t deal with. We refuse to accept the change, fearing it will break us. But just as the river shapes the pebble, the challenges shape us. They smooth our rough edges, and help us grow into stronger, wiser persons. We should accept the flow happily because it is not there to hurt us—it is there to improve us.
11.What did the pebble think of its life at first?
A.Busy and exciting. B.Simple and relaxing.
C.Sad and stressful. D.Joyful and meaningful.
12.How did the fish describe the water to the pebble?

Passage 4
(24-25八年级下·福建泉州·期末)
Travel is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get, especially when you’re using a blind box plane ticket (机票盲盒).
Fan Zhihua, who enjoys going wherever and whenever she wants, bought her first blind box plane ticket in March last year. The 29-year-old went to Zhangye, Gansu Province. It’s not a famous place, but it does bring surprises.
When Fan arrived in Zhangye, she found that she was able to share a car with a few other people. This let them save money, because many of the area’s places of interest are far from each other. So Fan found some kind young women to join. “The best part of the trip is this way of travelling, relaxing and wonderful,” Fan said.
That wasn’t her only gain. Fan once thought most of the natural scenery (自然景色) she saw in photos was over-beautified (过度美化). However, her trip to Dunhuang changed her mind.
After a few days in Zhangye, Fan and her new friends decided to leave for Dunhuang. As they arrived in the desert (沙漠), Fan was amazed at what she saw. “I couldn’t describe (描述) it in words. I’m not a history lover, but when I was in the desert, it was amazing,” Fan said. “I felt like I had become Zhang Qian, traveling to Xiyu.”
Fan believes that life itself is a journey (旅程) made up of long and short trips. “I think I came into this world to have as many experiences as possible and that I should make every day count,” she said.
14.What can we know about Fan Zhihua?
A.She is a travel lover. B.She plans trips carefully.

17.Which saying matches Fan’s Dunhuang trip?
A.It’s now or never. B.Seeing is believing.
C.Actions speak louder than words. D.Many hands make the light work.
18.What is the structure (结构) of the text?

Look.” She pointed to the sky: thousands of stars had appeared at night, shining like diamonds (钻石). “They’ve always been there,” she said. “You just needed to look closer.”

Our first stop was Beijing, and Nancy was our guide. She took us to all the important places, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and the hutongs. Her English was perfect, and she could explain their history and culture with ease.
Next, we went to Chengdu and enjoyed everything there. Like everybody else, we fell in love with the cute pandas.
But the days in Zhangjiajie turned out to be our favorite part of the trip. We headed to Tianmen Mountain on Day One. The beautiful scenery (风景) took my breath away. I couldn’t help stopping every few minutes to take pictures. By the end of that day, I had several hundred more pictures on my phone. We were not so lucky the next day as the weather turned bad. It was harder for us to see the scenery clearly. It was such a pity, but we couldn’t complain (抱怨) about something that was out of anyone’s control.
After saying goodbye to China’s first national park, we headed to Shanghai for the last leg of our trip. We had a great time, and the trip still feels like it happened yesterday.

Passage 6
(24-25八年级下·福建漳州·期末)
Six children were in the hospital. They were very sick, but the doctors didn’t know what to do. They called Dr. Richard Besser, an expert (专家) on uncommon illnesses.
Finding a Cause
First, Dr. Besser needed to find the cause of the illness. He looked for germs (微生物) in the children’s bodies. In every child, Dr. Besser found the same type of the bacteria (细菌) E. coli. He then looked at the bacteria’s DNA.It showed him that this type of E. coli was dangerous.
Dr. Besser knew E. coli could move from animals to humans. Had the children touched animals that carried the bacteria? Besser found other E. coli cases in the area where the children lived. But it wasn’t enough.
Besser then made a survey of what the sick children had eaten. They had all eaten cheese, apple juice, and fish. He then made a survey of what healthy children in the area had eaten. They had eaten cheese and fish, but not the apple juice.
Case Closed
Besser went to where the apple juice was made. He saw animals around the apple trees. He also saw the workers using dirty apples on the ground. More importantly, he saw that the apples were not washed before the juice was made, and that the juice was not heated. Doing these things would kill the bacteria. Besser then knew it was the apple juice that made the children sick.
Besser’s E. coli case had a happy ending. The children got better. And what Besser learned that day now helps keep others safe.
25.Why did the doctors call Dr. Richard Besser?
A.He knew the cause of the illness.
B.He was an expert in common disease.

①Dr. Besser checked how the apple juice was made.
②Dr. Besser found the same E. coli in all sick children.
③The doctors called Dr. Besser for help with sick children.
④Dr. Besser made a contrast between the diets of the sick children and the healthy children.
A.③→②→④→① B.②→③→①→④ C. ③→①→②→④ D.④→②→③→①
28.What advice would Dr. Besser probably agree with?
A.Don’t eat cheese and fish.
B.Wash the fruit before you eat it.
C.Stay away from animals that live near trees.
D.Never drink apple juice from a supermarket.

Passage 7
(24-25八年级下·福建福州·期末)
When I was young, my mom was not good at cooking, but she always wanted to make breakfast and dinner for my dad and me. She thought it was the way to show her love for us. However, the meals she made were pretty special—she would make breakfast food for dinner.
One night after school, when Dad and I entered the kitchen, we saw my mom was very upset. As we came closer, we saw at least ten pieces of burnt bread on the table. I knew that she wasted them again. Before my mom said anything, my dad gave her a hug, grabbed (抓) a piece of bread and said, “Darling, thank you for making the delicious bread for us.” And he turned around to me and asked me what happened at school. I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember that he put some butter (黄油) on the burnt places, and ate it up as usual with every single bite (咬).
After dinner, my mom said sorry to us for making the burnt bread. Dad smiled at her and said, “It’ OK. I love burnt bread, dear. You did it very well.” The other day after dinner, I asked him if he really liked that burnt bread. What he said that night is worth remembering for my whole life. He said, “Mom is busy and tired every day. She just doesn’t want us to be hungry. And a bit burnt food never hurts anyone.”
As time went by, I became to know that life is not perfect and nobody is perfect. So don’t be angry if the bread gets burnt. No matter what kind of situation it is in between, husband and wife or parent and child, a bit of understanding of each other will make the world better.

Passage 11
(24-25八年级下·福建泉州·期末)
A long time ago in Greece, there lived a smart scientist named Archimedes. He was interested in numbers, shapes and how things worked. People from near and far often turned to him with problems. Archimedes always surprised them with clever answers.
One day, King Hiero asked for his help. The king ordered a worker to make a gold crown (皇冠). Though the crown looked perfect, some people said that it was not made of pure gold (纯金). The king began to worry. Had the worker mixed in some cheap silver (银)? “I must know the truth,” he said to the scientist, “but you must not break my crown.”
Archimedes thought about the problem day and night. One afternoon, as he stepped into his bath, he saw the water rise and spill (溢出) over the sides. Suddenly, he had an idea! Shouting “Eureka! Eureka!”, he rushed out.
Archimedes quickly set up his test. He filled a bowl with water and prepared two bars—one gold, one silver. Both were the same weight (重量) as the crown. First, he put in the silver and saw how much water spilled. Then he did the same with the gold and noticed that less water spilled.

【详解】55.细节理解题。根据“But most of all, Mia loved soccer. She played with her brothers and sisters every day.”可知,米娅最喜欢的运动是足球,故选D。
56.词句猜测题。根据“Or her sister Lovdy, the goalie, saved the ball with her hands. No goal. No cheering.”可知,用双手将球挡了回去,没有进球,所以应该是“守门员”。故选A。
57.细节理解题。根据“The ball went to the left of the net. Or to the right. Or her sister Lovdy, the goalie, saved the ball with her hands.”可知,球偏到了球门左侧。或者偏到了右侧。或者她的姐姐守门员洛维迪用双手接住了球。故选D。
58.推理判断题。根据“Mia still hated losing. But she didn’t hate losing as much as she loved soccer.”和“Mia nodded. She ran with the ball, tapping it with her feet.”可知,她讨厌输球,但更爱足球,最终她选择继续玩,说明她理解到参与比输赢重要,并改变了自己放弃的习惯。故选B。
59.主旨大意题。根据“But this time she was playing, and that was more important than winning or losing because real winners never give up.”可知,但这一次她只是在比赛,而过程本身比胜负更重要,因为真正的赢家永远不会放弃。选项D“成功者永不放弃,放弃者永不成功”与之相符,故选D。
