But one day, she said, “I’m going to call one neighbor every night.” I was 14 at that time. I couldn’t understand why she would spend her evenings talking to people she didn’t know well. And it became a special habit. One evening, I heard her conversation with an elderly lady. She asked about the lady’s dinner and even discussed the roses in the park. When she finished the call, I asked her why she talked about such small things. With a kind smile, she explained, “I might be the only person she talked to today. So even the easiest conversations can make her feel cared for.” I realized the true value of my mother’s nightly calls nearly 15 years later. Each call was like a warm wind that blew away elderly people’s loneliness. The elderly often feel lonely for different reasons. As people get older, they may lose many friends and families.

He was kind and wanted to help humans. While other gods enjoyed their time on Mount Olympus, he chose to live with people and tried to help them. Soon, Prometheus noticed that people didn’t live as happily as gods. They stayed in dark and cold caves (洞穴), had no food and even faced dangers from wild animals. “If they had fire, they could at least warm themselves and cook food. Then they could learn to make tools and build houses,” Prometheus thought to himself. So, he bravely went to Zeus, the king of gods, and asked him to give fire to the people. “Never!” said Zeus. “If they had fire, they might become strong and smart like us. Then they would push us out of power (权力). Besides, fire is dangerous and they are too stupid to use it safely.” Prometheus didn’t answer, but he had set his heart on helping the people. Prometheus stole (偷) fire from Zeus and brought it to the earth. He taught the people how to use fire for warmth, cooking and protection. All of them thanked a lot for his wonderful gift. However, it didn’t take long for Zeus to find the fire on earth. He became furious and chained Prometheus to a mountain. Every day, a bird came to eat his liver (肝脏). Prometheus felt great pain, but he didn’t regret what he had done. He was proud to have brought hope to the people. 1．Why did Prometheus want the people to have fire? A．To improve their lives. B．To help them fight with gods. C．To bring more love into their world. 2．Why did Zeus refuse to give fire to the people? A．He wanted to keep all good things to himself.

A．No one will help you for no reason. B．He who plays with fire gets hurt. C．Kindness and bravery can change the world. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了普罗米修斯为了改善人类的生活，不顾宙斯的反对，勇敢地从宙斯那里偷取火种带给人类，尽管因此受到严厉惩罚，但他无怨无悔的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“If they had fire, they could at least warm themselves and cook food. Then they could learn to make tools and build houses”可知，普罗米修斯认为火可以帮助人类取暖、烹饪食物、制作工具和建造房屋，即改善他们的生活。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“If they had fire, they might become strong and smart like us. Then they would push us out of power (权力).”可知，宙斯认为如果人类有了火，可能会变得像神一样强大和聪明，从而挑战神的权力。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据文章第六段“He became furious and chained Prometheus to a mountain. Every day, a bird came to eat his liver (肝脏).”可知，宙斯将普罗米修斯锁在山上，并让鸟每天吃他的肝脏，这是一种严厉的惩罚，由此可推断“furious”意为“愤怒的”。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“He was kind and wanted to help humans.”和第五段“Prometheus didn’t answer, but he had set his heart on helping the people. Prometheus stole (偷) fire from Zeus and brought it to the earth.”可知，普罗米修斯善良且勇敢，他不顾宙斯的反对，偷取火种带给人类。故选B。 5．推理判断题。根据文章内容，普罗米修斯为了改善人类的生活，勇敢地偷取火种，尽管因此受到严厉惩罚，但他无怨无悔，他的善良和勇敢改变了人类的世界。故选C。 请阅读下面语篇，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑 Passage 9 （24-25八年级下·山西·运城市盐湖区·期末） Are fables (寓言故事) and fairy tales different or the same?

Fairy tales are usually stories for children, often about magic characters such as fairies (仙女) and giants (巨人). Sometimes the characters are animals. We are able to enjoy these fairy tales because of the famous Brothers Grimm. About two hundred years ago, Brothers Grimm traveled all over Germany and collected (收集) these stories before people forgot them.

They are passed down from grandparents to parents and then to children.”可知，寓言故事通常是短篇故事，它们从祖父母传给父母，然后再传给孩子，由此推测passed down应该是“流传”的意思。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Most of the characters are animals.”可知，寓言故事中的大多数角色是动物。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“The most famous fables were written by a man called Aesop.

The Lion and the Mouse, The Farmer and the Snake and The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing are three examples.”可知，《狮子和老鼠》是伊索寓言中的一个故事，而《白雪公主》和《青蛙王子》都是童话故事。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“They are both stories for kids, but fables are stories for adults (成人), too.”可知，寓言故事不仅是给孩子看的，也是给成人看的，所以C选项“寓言故事只是给孩子们讲的故事”表述错误。故选C。 5．主旨大意题。通读全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了寓言故事和童话故事的不同点以及它们各自的特点。故选B。 Passage 10 （24-25八年级下·山西·运城市盐湖区·期末） Come and Join a Day at Fenghuang Valley Amusement Park Children aged 10 to 14 are invited to take part in the “Event of the Summer” at Fenghuang Valley Amusement Park, the most popular amusement park on the East Coast.

Who do you call? What do you talk about on the phone? When I was a child, my mother always knit (编织) hats for us in the evenings. Sometimes, she baked delicious cookies. But one day, she said, “I’m going to call one neighbor every night.” I was 14 at that time. I couldn’t understand why she would spend her evenings talking to people she didn’t know well. And it became a special habit. One evening, I heard her conversation with an elderly lady. She asked about the lady’s dinner and even discussed the roses in the park. When she finished the call, I asked her why she talked about such small things. With a kind smile, she explained, “I might be the only person she talked to today. So even the easiest conversations can make her feel cared for.” I realized the true value of my mother’s nightly calls nearly 15 years later. Each call was like a warm wind that blew away elderly people’s loneliness. The elderly often feel lonely for different reasons. As people get older, they may lose many friends and families. Also, when people stop working, they no longer have the everyday talks and meetings. So they hardly ever join in social activities. My mother’s conversations are more than just friendly talks. They are warm sunshine for the elderly. I hope I can do as well as she does. 1．What was the mother’s special habit? A．Knitting hats. B．Baking cookies.

When I was a child, my mother always knit (编织) hats for us in the evenings. Sometimes, she baked delicious cookies. But one day, she said, “I’m going to call one neighbor every night.” I was 14 at that time. I couldn’t understand why she would spend her evenings talking to people she didn’t know well. And it became a special habit. One evening, I heard her conversation with an elderly lady. She asked about the lady’s dinner and even discussed the roses in the park. When she finished the call, I asked her why she talked about such small things. With a kind smile, she explained, “I might be the only person she talked to today. So even the easiest conversations can make her feel cared for.” I realized the true value of my mother’s nightly calls nearly 15 years later. Each call was like a warm wind that blew away elderly people’s loneliness. The elderly often feel lonely for different reasons. As people get older, they may lose many friends and families. Also, when people stop working, they no longer have the everyday talks and meetings. So they hardly ever join in social activities. My mother’s conversations are more than just friendly talks.

In July 2021, an AI restaurant was born in Hongqiao Community in Shanghai. Compared to the traditional restaurant, the biggest difference is that the AI restaurant has no staff. Instead, robots serve the customers. As robots are electric machines and won’t get tired, they have a better working ability. According to data, they can serve both Chinese food and western food for more than 1,000 dishes. Besides, a robot can work as any kind of staff, like a waiter or a cook, in the restaurant. This improves the serving efficiency (效率) of the restaurant. What’s more, the AI restaurant opens 24 hours every day and provides all kinds of services, including self-service, online booking (预订) service and snack machines at a lower price. For example, at the self-service area, the meat dish only costs 10 yuan each and the vegetable dish only costs 2 yuan each. So, you can start a meal anytime you want at a much lower price in the restaurant. We believe that the AI restaurant will bring a revolution (革命) in the dining field.

Pets now become an important part in people’s everyday life. A report says the number of people raising cats and dogs in cities in China reached 68.44 million in 2021. So more and more people choose to travel with their pets. Wei Ren, a 29-year-old man in Hangzhou, takes a trip with his pet dog twice a month. He joined a WeChat group of local pet dog owners a year ago. “We often take our dogs to the countryside. They enjoy running and playing in the fields.

When he travelled with his dog, Wei also noticed an interesting thing—Just like people, pets have different personalities (性格) too. Some are active and like to make more friends, and others are introverted and like to stay alone. “As pet owners, we like to talk about our pet-keeping experience.

Passage 8 （24-25八年级下·山西·晋城市阳城县·期末） In ancient Greece, there was a god named Prometheus. He was kind and wanted to help humans. While other gods enjoyed their time on Mount Olympus, he chose to live with people and tried to help them. Soon, Prometheus noticed that people didn’t live as happily as gods. They stayed in dark and cold caves (洞穴), had no food and even faced dangers from wild animals. “If they had fire, they could at least warm themselves and cook food. Then they could learn to make tools and build houses,” Prometheus thought to himself. So, he bravely went to Zeus, the king of gods, and asked him to give fire to the people. “Never!” said Zeus. “If they had fire, they might become strong and smart like us. Then they would push us out of power (权力). Besides, fire is dangerous and they are too stupid to use it safely.” Prometheus didn’t answer, but he had set his heart on helping the people. Prometheus stole (偷) fire from Zeus and brought it to the earth. He taught the people how to use fire for warmth, cooking and protection. All of them thanked a lot for his wonderful gift. However, it didn’t take long for Zeus to find the fire on earth. He became furious and chained Prometheus to a mountain. Every day, a bird came to eat his liver (肝脏).

Passage 9 （24-25八年级下·山西·运城市盐湖区·期末） Are fables (寓言故事) and fairy tales different or the same? They are both stories for kids, but fables are stories for adults (成人), too. Fables are usually short stories. They are passed down from grandparents to parents and then to children. Fables can teach lessons to people. People can learn much from them.

The Lion and the Mouse, The Farmer and the Snake and The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing are three examples. Fairy tales are usually stories for children, often about magic characters such as fairies (仙女) and giants (巨人). Sometimes the characters are animals. We are able to enjoy these fairy tales because of the famous Brothers Grimm. About two hundred years ago, Brothers Grimm traveled all over Germany and collected (收集) these stories before people forgot them.

Starting from the 2022 fall semester, students in primary and middle schools have to take lessons on labor skills at least once a week. The new standards include three tasks. The first is chores, including cleaning, organizing, cooking, and using and repairing home appliances (电器). Next is productive labor, including making traditional handicrafts (手工艺) and using new technologies. The third type is service work, which includes volunteer work. In the past, many schools in China regarded chores as a waste of children’s time. Teachers believed that kids should only study hard to get good grades and have a better future. So most students spent all their time on schoolwork. Online, people have been busy discussing the new standards. Liu Fang, a mother of 6-year-old twins in Beijing, strongly stands by labor education. For the past year, she has trained her daughters to do chores and make simple dishes for the family. “The main idea is to let them share responsibility (责任) as family members and become independent as early as they can,” said Liu.

He sent a man named Mian Bogao to bring some gifts to the emperor. One of the gifts was a beautiful swan. Mian had to travel from Yunnan to Chang’an. It was a long way.

Every time he managed to read a word, the biggest smile would spread across his face and his eyes would shine with pride. Seeing this, I was deeply touched. A few weeks before the school year ended, I sent Ronny a book written by me. A few days later, I returned to the school to visit. I noticed Ronny sitting on a chair near the playground, with the book open on his legs. His head teacher said, “He hasn’t put down that book since you gave it to him. That’s his first book he’s ever actually had.” Deeply moved, I walked towards Ronny and asked softly, “Will you read me your book, Ronny?” For the next few minutes, he read to me more clearly than I’d ever thought possible from him. It seemed that he had read it many times.

Some dogs have serious jobs. Here are some types of working dogs and the jobs they are trained to do.
