Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·广东湛江市雷州市第一中初中部·期末） The brush pen, one of the “Four Treasures of the Study”, was invented thousands of years ago. However, the oldest pen was just a stick or a piece of bamboo. It was difficult for people to write well on thin silk. It is said that Meng Tian, a general of the Kingdom (王国) Qin, improved the pen. When Meng was leading an army to fight against the Kingdom of Chu, he had to report the situation to his king in time. But his pen was too hard and caused him much trouble, so he was thinking of ways to improve it. One day after hunting (狩猎), Meng made his way home with some wild rabbits on the horse back. Fat and heavy, one rabbit’s tail left a long trail (痕迹) on the ground when they moved on. Suddenly a good idea came to his mind when he saw it, “If I tie (绑) the rabbit’s hair to a stick , would it be easy to write with?” On arriving home, he tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit’s hair was too smooth to write well and wasted a lot of silk. Meng was so disappointed that he threw away his “invention” into a stone hole in the yard. However, Meng never gave up and kept trying all the time. A few rainy days later, he happened to find his “invention” fatter in a stone hole. He picked it up with hope. The brush worked beautifully on silk. It turned out that the special water had cleaned the oil from the hair. Meng succeeded at last. Thanks to Meng, the brush pen is playing a key role in Chinese culture. Today, students are taught to use the brush pens in school. It makes their life more colorful and helps them better understand Chinese culture. 6．Why did Meng Tian want to improve the pen? A．Because the king asked him to do so. B．Because he wanted to be an inventor. C．Because he didn’t have silk to write on. D．Because the pen brought him much trouble. 7．What does the underlined word “disappointed” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．excited B．unhappy C．interested D．successful 8．Which is the right order of improving the brush pen? a. The brush pen could write well.       b. Meng tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick. c. The special water washed the oil away.        d. Meng dropped the stick into a stone hole. A．b-d-a-c B．d-b-a-c C．b-d-c-a D．c-d-b-a 9．How can the students understand Chinese culture better? A．By learning to use brush pens. B．By playing a role. C．By planting more bamboo. D．By inventing things. 10．What can we learn from the passage? A．Make friends with animals. B．Value fantastic memories. C．Keep trying and never give up. D．Build a peaceful world. Passage 3 （24-25八年级下·广东省深圳市第二实验学校·期末） Paper-making is one of the four greatest inventions of ancient China. Before it was invented, writing was difficult. People could only write on wood or expensive silk. Therefore, only the rich and the government could keep written records and receive education. In the early Western Han Dynasty, people began to make paper. But it was not smooth enough for writing. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, paper-making got a big step forward after Cai Lun improved the technique. He made paper with cheap and easy-to-find materials. First, he collected tree bark (树皮), old fishing nets and old clothes. He put these materials in special water for a few days. After that, he heated them on fire and then poured out the water. Next, he beat them with a wooden hammer to break them into small pieces. Then, he mixed the broken materials with water in a big pot to make pulp (浆). Later, he spread the pulp carefully on a bamboo screen with holes. Finally, he dried the screen in the air. Through all these steps, smooth and strong paper was made. After Cai Lun’s improvements, paper became popular and common people were able to use it. Besides books, it was key to painting and calligraphy (书法). It was also used for making maps and packing tea. Paper money also appeared, making long-distance trade easier and safer. As paper-making spread to other countries, it helped different cultures share stories, science and art more easily. It has greatly shaped the world we live in today. 11．What does the word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．The silk. B．The wood. C．The paper. D．The technique. 12．According to Cai Lun’s improvements, what is the right order to make paper? A．d-b-c-a B．d-b-a-c C．b-a-d-c D．b-d-a-c 13．In which fields did paper-making have an influence? A．Technology and fishing. B．Sports and transport. C．Education and business. D．Art and energy. 14．According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A．Cai Lun lived in the early Western Han Dynasty. B．People had already made smooth and soft paper before the Eastern Han Dynasty. C．Cai Lun burned tree barks, old fishing nets and old clothes to make paper dry. D．Because of Cai Lun’s improvement, common people could use paper. 15．Where can you probably read this article? A．In a guide on home recycling. B．In a magazine about Chinese inventions. C．In a novel about great scientists. D．In a news report about technology.

And I want my kids to like movies, too. I still remember the first time I took my daughter, Mandy, to the movie theatre. At that time she was 6 and the movie we watched was Bambi. I chose it because I thought a cartoon movie would be good for her. Everything was going just fine and Bambi was so lovely. However, when a man killed Bambi’s mother, my daughter became very sad and asked to go home. So we left in the middle of the movie. Later when I decided to take my daughter to the theatre, I chose movies more carefully and my daughter watched many great ones. Luckily, she likes movies as much as I do now. However, I still worry. Are cartoons really safe for kids? Once I sat on the sofa, watching a cartoon with my 8-year-old son, Jimmy. I was dumbfounded when I saw a cartoon character bleeding (流血) in front of us. The cartoon was like an action movie for adults! So what I want to say is that the next time you take a kid to the movie theatre, be careful. Maybe ▲ .

Passage 2 （24-25八年级·广东广州市第四中学·期末） I love to read. I can’t even remember when I started loving it. I grew up in a really small and far-away village. Most people there were farmers, and some of them never went to school. My dad somehow got some education. He read a lot and loved reading novels. But he always told me to read textbooks instead. At first, I was kind of sad. Textbooks didn’t seem as interesting as the exciting stories. But I trusted my dad, so I started reading textbooks hard. Science textbooks let me know about the world around me. I learned how plants grew. This was very useful in our village because most people were farmers. I told the farmers what I learned, like how to plant crops better. At first, they didn’t trust me, but later they were surprised because their crops grew better. I was so proud, and I knew that knowledge was really powerful. When I read English textbooks, it was like opening a new door. I learned new words and grammar rules. With them, I could make sentences to express my ideas. After learning some descriptive words and sentence patterns, I could vividly describe to foreign visitors how the wildflowers dotted the fields like colorful stars in our village. History textbooks took me to different times and places. I learned what people in the past did, how they solved difficulties, and what the great achievements were. I realized our village’s story was just a small part of a long history. This made me deepen my understanding of our village’s past. Because my dad made me read textbooks, I got a good education. I went to an excellent school in the city. The knowledge from textbooks was like a key that opened the door to new chances. It was the base for my growing up. It helped me reach for my dreams, even if they seemed impossible when I was in that small village. 6．What kind of advantage did science textbooks bring to the villagers? A．They taught villagers how to write descriptive stories. B．They introduced how to improve the production of crops. C．They helped villagers understand the importance of trust. D．They showed villagers the fast-growing planting method. 7．The underlined phrase “wildflowers dotted the fields like colorful stars” in Paragraph 4 mainly shows that the writer ________. A．used descriptive languages from novels B．preferred natural beauty to school study C．copied the descriptions from foreign visitors D．made creative use of knowledge from textbooks 8．What is the writer’s opinion on history learning? A．Villagers should only pay attention to their own local history. B．Learning the local history is a good way to improve the crops. C．History deepens the villagers’ understanding of their hometown. D．The village’s history should have an important part in textbooks. 9．What can people learn from the writer’s story? A．Knowledge helps people make a difference. B．Students shouldn’t read storybooks in school. C．Parents always know what’s best for children. D．Life in the village is harder than that in the city. Passage 3 （24-25八年级·广东广州市荔湾区荔广实验学校·期末） The sun warmed the ground under my bare feet as I walked around the town pool. My friend Mary was waiting for me by the diving boards. “Come on,” Mary said. “Let’s jump off the high dive.” I looked at her with wide eyes. “The high dive? No way!” “Don’t be scared,” Mary said. “It’s really fun.” I walked away and sat on the pool side. “You go. I’ll watch you.” Mary shook her head. “You don’t know what you’re missing.” I watched Mary climb up the tall ladder. It made me feel sick just imagining being up there. I had been afraid of the high dive since I could remember. The thought of being up so high frightened me. I had never even tried to jump off. Mary jumped off the board and then climbed out of the pool. “Come on, you’ve got to try it. It’s wonderful,” she said. I looked up at the board. Maybe it was time for a new experience. “Okay,” I said. I climbed up the ladder for the high diving board. When I got to the top, I held the rails (扶手) carefully. The water down below looked far, far away. I wanted to turn back and walk down the ladder, but that would be too embarrassing. There was only one thing to do. I walked to the end of the board and took a deep breath. Then I closed my eyes and jumped. A wave of excitement filled me when I jumped quickly into the pool.

There are baskets, flower pots, and cloth bags—all made from recycled materials. They are not just creative objects (物品); they’re part of Sarah’s project to make a greener community. Two years ago, Sarah would pass by a park near her house every day after school. Plastic bottles, empty cans, and broken toys littered the roadside. Seeing this, Sarah felt sad. One afternoon, Sarah noticed some kids selling orange juice at the park. People stopped to buy it. That was when Sarah got an idea. “Mom, what if we sell handmade crafts?” she asked excitedly that evening. “Then we can buy trees for our neighborhood with the money.” With her mom’s help, Sarah started making crafts with great interest, using old boxes, plastic bottles and empty cans. Every day after school, she sat in her yard, waiting for customers. At first, no one came. Sarah felt down, but she didn’t give up. Later, people began to stop by. A kind woman bought a cloth bag, saying it was perfect for shopping. Kids liked the flower pots, and one boy even asked Sarah to make him a special basket for his toys. By the end of the first month, Sarah had made $150! She bought 30 small trees. Together with her parents, they planted the trees around the park and along the sidewalks. Now, the neighborhood looks nicer, and the birds have more places to rest. Sarah even teaches her friends how to make eco-friendly (环保的) crafts after school.

Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·广东深圳市龙华区实验学校·期末） After a 10-year project to count tuna and other large fish in the world's oceans, scientists have made a very surprising discovery: these fish are almost gone. Because of too much fishing, almost 90 percent of the worldwide population of large fish—the ones we usually eat—has disappeared. If we don’t act, these animals will totally disappear. That will influence every animal in the ocean. The demand for fish is growing. Almost a billion people around the world get their protein (蛋白质) mostly from fish. Doctors praise seafood for being low in fat. But what seems like a healthy choice for humans is causing a disaster to our oceans. “People are consuming (消费) too much,” says Lance Morgan, a scientist at the Marine Conservation Biology Institute. A dish of tuna in restaurants costs more than just one animal's life. When fish like tuna disappear from the ecosystem (生态系统), the ocean’s food chain (链) breaks down. Animals such as sharks, which normally eat tuna, may die because they find no food. The news may be scary, but taking action from now on can prevent harm that hasn’t happened yet. World organizations are ordering countries to stop fishing too much. The Monterey Bay Aquarium gives seafood choices to anyone hoping to keep healthy without destroying the environment. “If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values and beliefs,” says Morgan. “Then decide what you’re going to eat.” 6．How does the writer start the text? A．By giving a fact. B．By asking a question. C．By telling a story. D．By using a saying. 7．What does the underlined word “demand” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Wish. B．Support. C．Need. D．Price. 8．From Paragraph 3, we know that ________. A．if sharks die out, tuna will die out soon B．tuna will be more popular in restaurants C．tuna plays an important role in the ecosystemD．tuna disappeared because they found no food 9．What’s the purpose of the text? A．To tell people to stop polluting our oceans. B．To tell people to protect wildlife in oceans. C．To tell people to avoid eating too much seafood. D．To tell people to live a balanced and healthy life. 10．What does the last paragraph of the article explain ________. A．We need to care about wildlife B．We need to eat wild animals C．We need to reflect on our own values and beliefs D．We don’t want to protect wild animals Passage 3 （24-25八年级·广东省中山市中山一中教育集团·期末） I am a plastic bottle. A week ago, I was on a supermarket shelf. I had a normal life, the same as all my brothers and sisters, other bottles full of water. I felt really happy. Then a tall woman picked me up and put me in her basket! The woman took me home and put me in the fridge. It was cold, but I soon made friends with the cans and bottles in it. However, only a few hours later, she took me out of the fridge and drank the water inside me. Then she threw me into a dustbin. I have never felt so empty and alone in my life. Early the next morning, a man took me out of the dustbin. He threw me and the other rubbish into the back of a truck. There were so many horrible smells. Then I was pushed together with the rest of the rubbish. Soon I was completely flat. I cannot believe how thin I became. I slept for a while. When I woke up, I found myself in a terrible place. Everything around me was ugly and had horrible smells. I felt afraid. I kept hoping that I would be moved somewhere else. Then huge trucks came and covered us with a layer of soil. I asked another bottle what would happen to us. He said that we would never leave this horrible crowded place, but would have to stay here for thousands of years. “Why can’t they reuse or recycle us?” I cried. 11．Where was the plastic bottle a week ago? A．On the supermarket shelf. B．In the fridge. C．In the dustbin. D．In a terrible place. 12．What happened to the plastic bottle on the next day after the woman threw it away?

Passage 4 （24-25八年级下·广东省广州市南武中学·期末） Garbage sorting began on July 1, 2019. However, I , with the other 238 families who live in my building, have been living with a similar system for years. Here, I’d like to talk about our experiences. In October 2016, the government chose our neighborhood to be part of a pilot（试点的）program for garbage sorting. To help the program run smoothly, we set up a volunteer team. I am one of the volunteers. Several of us, however, doubted whether we could lead people in the building to change their habits. We began with the usual methods. We posted notices around the neighborhood. We also went door to door, spreading the word. However, they made plenty of mistakes. For example, many didn’t know wet garbage meant food waste. Instead, they thought it meant that was wet. Some even refused to sort their garbage. As a result, we volunteers had to do lots of sorting ourselves. At the same time we went around explaining the rules. We kept talking to those who refused to sort their garbage. We let them know we had sorted their garbage for them. It was a matter of time and patience. We believed they would finally change their mind. Six months later we were successful in changing people’s mind. People in my building had begun sorting in their garbage. Some even joined us to sort garbage that was sorted improperly. I think face-to-face talks played an important role. Sometimes, these talks led us to conflict（冲突）, but they were much more effective（有效的）than notices and flyers（小传单）. It was interesting to see what happened. I hope everyone knows garbage sorting is good for them. 16．When did the writer’s neighborhood start its garbage-sorting program? A．In October, 2016. B．In April, 2017. C．After six months. D．On July 1, 2019. 17．How long did it take the people in the writer’s building to change their garbage-sorting habits? A．For 238 days. B．For about 6 months. C．For about 7 months. D．For 2016 days. 18．What does the writer hope for when speaking of the garbage sorting plan of Shanghai? A．More volunteers will join the writer’s volunteer team. B．People know wet garbage means food waste. C．Face-to face talk can play an important role in garbage-sorting plan. D．Everyone can change garbage sorting habits. 主题01 人与自然——常见动物 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·广东汕头市潮阳实验学校·期末） Once upon a time, there was a beaver (海狸) named Furry living in the forest. He had lots of friends and liked to play outside. One day a big wolf came and started saying, “This is my forest and I am bigger and stronger than you. So you will have to move out of the forest by tomorrow or I will destroy (摧毁) your house.” Later that night Furry and his friends were thinking what to do. Furry suggested that they should build a trap (陷阱) to catch the wolf and teach him a lesson that there was somebody stronger than him. The beavers decided it would be a deep hole covered with sticks on it. One of the beavers asked, “How are we going to do that?” Furry suggested that they could ask the rabbits for help to build the trap. About one hour later the beavers went to the rabbits’ house and explained what was going to happen tomorrow in the morning. The rabbits agreed to help. It took them the whole night but they finished it by the morning. In the morning they all hid up in the trees The wolf came and barked at them to pack their bags and leave the forest as soon as possible. Since the wolf wasn’t looking where he was going, he fell into the trap. All the animals came and saw that the wolf was trapped in the hole. The wolf kept asking whether they could let him out of the hole but Furry said, “We would but since you have been so unkind to us we will not let you out of the hole.” Then the wolf promised that he would never tell them to move out of the forest and would be friendly to them.

Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·广东省深圳市坪山区第二外国语学校·期末） “Love is still alive!” Wang Zhiru from Jiangxi Academy of Forestry, said excitedly when receiving a picture of a white crane on January 3rd 2019. The white crane they named Love was saved and set free in early 2018. Love was first found on April 24th 2018, when Li Zengming, a farmer, drove past a reservoir in the countryside of Nanchang, capital of Jia anxi Province. Seeing it trying to fly but falling again and again, Li thought that it might be hurt. He drove to the shore and went into the water to rescue it.” I saw the white crane with dull eyes and a weak body. It was probably hurt. If I let it alone, it would be in danger,” Li recalled. After more than half an hour, Li finally took the white crane back to the shore. Then he called his uncle, an experienced animal saver, for help. “Come over immediately and let’s send it to the police station right away” said his uncle. When seeing the weak wild crane, Jiang Qingchun from the Five-star Police Station, put down his work and checked it carefully. “At the end of April, migratory (迁移的) birds usually return to the north. It’s abnormal for a white crane to still be living nearby. It may be left behind because of its poor health, Jiang said. He contacted Wang at the Jiangxi Academy of Forestry for help. Wang’s team found Love did not seem to be hurt or have illness, but it suffered from hunger and tiredness. After five days treatment, its weight rose from 3.75kg to 4kg. Being kept for long will be bad for birds’ ability to survive in the wild. Wang’s team decided on May 2nd to set it free at a place in northern China.

What’s even more surprising is that the three who have become good at driving in just eight weeks are not special dogs that belong to some rich owners, but abandoned (被遗弃的) ones at New Zealand’s SPCA． To get their training started, 10-month old Peter, 18-month old Monty and one-year old Ginny were selected by the SPCA’s CEO and moved to Animal school that teaches animals skills for movies and television shows. The two-month driving classes began with teaching the dogs some basic driving skills like turning the steering wheels (方向盘) and stopping the cars. After that the dogs practiced everything they had learnt in a special model car. Then finally, it was time for the big test — driving a real car! Though they all seemed to do very well, the real test came on Monday night when Monty, the best driver of the three, showed his great driving skill on live television with no human’s help. Why would the SPCA go through so much trouble to show the skills of homeless dogs. The reason is to show that keeping a dog does not mean owners are getting a pet that is worse than one bought it from a keeper. The CEO of the SPCA is hoping that this unusual event will be enough to make people in New Zealand to thinking about them, when looking for a pet. 11．The three dogs used to live ______. A．in streets B．in zoos C．in rich people’s house D．in poor people’s house 12．Which is the right order of the following events? a. Teaching the dogs some basic driving skills. b. Selecting three dogs and moving them to Animal school. c. The dogs practiced everything they had learnt in a model car. d. Choosing the best driver to show his great driving skill on live television. e. Driving a real car. A．a-b-c-d-e B．b-a-c-e-d C．b-d-a-c-e D．a-e-c-b-d 13．Why does the SPCA decide to teach the three dogs to learn to drive a car? A．To prove old dogs can learn new tricks. B．To teach them until they become movies and television stars. C．To provide shows for homeless children. D．To encourage people to accept the abandoned (被遗弃的) dogs. 主题02 人与社会——叙事忆旧 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·广东惠州市实验中学初中部·期末） In November 2001, Gordon Ramsay and his wife Tana Ramsay welcomed their child, Tilly, into the world. Before she was born, they had their eldest daughter, Meghan, in 1999, and twins Jack and Holly in 2000.     It can be hard getting attention when you are in a big family. Therefore, Tilly Ramsay learned early that the best way was to develop her cooking skills. “When you are in a noisy family of six, you really have to shout to get noticed,” she said. “I started cooking—it is easier to get attention by making a tasty dinner than making a lot of noises all the time.”      In 2015, when Tilly Ramsay was just 14 years old, she published her first book, Tilly’s Kitchen Takeover. In the same year, she also started her first television show. She hoped her book and TV show could be helpful for those who are just learning how to cook from the beginning.      She did get a little bit of help from her father on her cookbook. “My father surely inspired (启发) me because he’s been cooking around the house since I could remember. When I was writing the cookbook, he just helped me with a few things,” she recalled. “If there was something I couldn’t nail while cooking, I would ask him, ‘What would you do? How would you improve this?’ He really helped me there but he never took my place. I think we are a father-daughter dream team!” 1．How many children does the Ramsay have? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 2．Why did Tilly learn to cook? A．Because she was crazy about cooking. B．Because she had to cook meals for her family. C．Because she wanted to get attention from her parents. D．Because she wanted to stay away from the noises in the family. 3．Who will be interested in Tilly’s book and TV show? A．A great cook. B．A cooking beginner. C．A child book lover. D．A cooking show maker. 4．What does the underlined word “nail” mean? A．Take in. B．Hand out. C．Cut off. D．Do well in. 5．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Tilly gets on well with her father. B．Tilly’s father never cooks at home. C．Tilly’s father always asks Tilly for help. D．Tilly finished her cookbook all by herself. Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·广东深圳市光明区华夏中学·期末） Although many years have passed, I still remember the last year of my junior school. I had to prepare for the entrance test, which made me stressed（有压力的）. I cried several nights. When we are feeling very stressed, many of us may feel like crying. Shedding tears is a good way to deal with our “dark” emotions（情绪）. When we cry, we are letting go of our stress, I certainly felt better after I had cried. After I had calmed myself down, I reached out to some friends and teachers who encouraged me. I managed to get an offer from a qualified senior school. With increased competition, it isn’t surprising that many students today are feeling stressed out. Many of us think of our “dark” emotions to be our enemies（敌人）. It appears silly for us to be so easily beaten by them. That’s why we might feel too shy to cry. When we are feeling sad, we may also have difficulty asking for help or talking to others. “Dark” emotions are not in themselves a bad thing. Just like happiness, they are common. But you should certainly find ways to manage them. Try to take part in social events. Eat healthy, balanced meals. Find people who can support you. Exercise regularly. These things can all help. The most important thing, though, is to accept your feelings. They are nothing to be ashamed of. 6．Why did the writer cry when preparing the entrance test? A．The time passed quickly. B．He felt worried. C．He missed his junior school. D．He got little help. 7．How did the writer let go of stress? A．By crying all the time. B．By reaching out to family. C．By entering a qualified senior school. D．By asking friends and teachers for help. 8．Why are we too shy to cry when under stress? A．We are not brave enough to ask for help. B．We are not strong enough and look foolish. C．We are not wise enough to hide our feelings. D．We are not confident enough to talk to others. 9．What does the writer think of “Dark” emotions? A．Silly. B．Useful. C．Natural. D．Unsatisfying. 10．Why does the writer write this passage? A．To offer us some ways to eat healthy. B．To help us to stay away from dark emotions C．To tell us to prepare for the entrance test well. D．To encourage us to accept our feelings, no matter good or bad. Passage 3 （24-25八年级下·广东广州市海珠外国语实验中学·期末） As Lia Bentley walked home from school on an October afternoon, she saw patterns of symmetry(对称) all around her: the birds in the sky, even The autumn leaves that covered the sidewalk, were symmetrical. A butterfly landed on a branch above her, and Lia suddenly stopped. She held her breath and smiled, watching its perfectly symmetrical wings. Now Mt. Ferris, their science teacher, gave them a special assignment: to find the most beautiful example of symmetry and give a report to the class on it. Years ago, she was given a microscope for her birthday. Now she realized that she could use it to study symmetry. She set up her “laboratory” in the shed. While observing, she was amazed by what she saw, but none of it seemed to fit for the assignment. None of it was truly beautiful. “What are you bringing to class?” Lia asked her friend Matt on the bus ride to school. “A model airplane,” replied Matt successfully. “And my brother Leo is bringing his guitar.” “Those things are nice,” thought Lia, but there must be something more beautiful out there.” That night, she stayed in the shed until her father called her inside. “Come on, Lia. The weather forecast says it’s going to snow.” Lia’s heart sank. The cold weather would mean fewer things to see under the microscope. Lia had to hand in her assignment in just a few days. She began to feel worried. Just then, the shed door was blown open by a strong wind. As she turned her head against the wind, she caught sight of a single snowflake that had blown into the shed and onto the stage of her microscope. Lia looked through the eyepiece, and she saw the most shining and beautiful example of symmetry she could ever have imagined. She cried excitedly, “A snowflake! Why didn’t I think of that before?” She took a closer look through the eyepiece, but the snowflake had disappeared—melted. “No! Wait! Oh, no!” cried Lia. She had to take the snowflake to class, but how? It would melt before she could even get on the bus! Then she had an idea. Lia ran to the house and took her camera.

A child came to see him fishing. The old man was really good at fishing and it didn’t take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish. But the child shook her head. The old man was surprised and asked, “Why don’t you want the fish?” The child replied, “I want the fishing rod (竿) in your hands.” The old man asked, “Why do you want the rod?” “It doesn’t take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won’t be afraid of not having any more fish to eat. I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesn’t know how to fish, she cannot have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod. It’s useless to only have a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the most important, not the fishing rod. Too many people think that if they have a “fishing rod” in their life, they will no longer fear the wind and rain. They are just like the child, who thought that if she had a fishing rod, she would have fish to eat. 15．The old man was fishing on the bank of ________.

However, the oldest pen was just a stick or a piece of bamboo. It was difficult for people to write well on thin silk. It is said that Meng Tian, a general of the Kingdom (王国) Qin, improved the pen. When Meng was leading an army to fight against the Kingdom of Chu, he had to report the situation to his king in time. But his pen was too hard and caused him much trouble, so he was thinking of ways to improve it. One day after hunting (狩猎), Meng made his way home with some wild rabbits on the horse back. Fat and heavy, one rabbit’s tail left a long trail (痕迹) on the ground when they moved on. Suddenly a good idea came to his mind when he saw it, “If I tie (绑) the rabbit’s hair to a stick , would it be easy to write with?” On arriving home, he tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit’s hair was too smooth to write well and wasted a lot of silk. Meng was so disappointed that he threw away his “invention” into a stone hole in the yard. However, Meng never gave up and kept trying all the time. A few rainy days later, he happened to find his “invention” fatter in a stone hole. He picked it up with hope.

Before it was invented, writing was difficult. People could only write on wood or expensive silk. Therefore, only the rich and the government could keep written records and receive education. In the early Western Han Dynasty, people began to make paper. But it was not smooth enough for writing. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, paper-making got a big step forward after Cai Lun improved the technique. He made paper with cheap and easy-to-find materials. First, he collected tree bark (树皮), old fishing nets and old clothes. He put these materials in special water for a few days. After that, he heated them on fire and then poured out the water. Next, he beat them with a wooden hammer to break them into small pieces. Then, he mixed the broken materials with water in a big pot to make pulp (浆). Later, he spread the pulp carefully on a bamboo screen with holes. Finally, he dried the screen in the air. Through all these steps, smooth and strong paper was made. After Cai Lun’s improvements, paper became popular and common people were able to use it. Besides books, it was key to painting and calligraphy (书法). It was also used for making maps and packing tea. Paper money also appeared, making long-distance trade easier and safer. As paper-making spread to other countries, it helped different cultures share stories, science and art more easily. It has greatly shaped the world we live in today. 11．What does the word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．The silk. B．The wood. C．The paper. D．The technique. 12．According to Cai Lun’s improvements, what is the right order to make paper? A．d-b-c-a B．d-b-a-c C．b-a-d-c D．b-d-a-c 13．In which fields did paper-making have an influence? A．Technology and fishing. B．Sports and transport. C．Education and business. D．Art and energy. 14．According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A．Cai Lun lived in the early Western Han Dynasty. B．People had already made smooth and soft paper before the Eastern Han Dynasty. C．Cai Lun burned tree barks, old fishing nets and old clothes to make paper dry. D．Because of Cai Lun’s improvement, common people could use paper. 15．Where can you probably read this article? A．In a guide on home recycling. B．In a magazine about Chinese inventions. C．In a novel about great scientists. D．In a news report about technology. 【答案】11．C 12．A 13．C 14．D 15．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国古代四大发明之一的造纸术，讲述了蔡伦改进造纸术前后的发展变化、造纸步骤，以及造纸术对教育、文化传播和世界发展的深远影响。 11．根据第二段“In the early Western Han Dynasty, people began to make paper. But it was not smooth enough for writing.”，前一句提到“people began to make paper”，后句的“it”指代前文提到的paper，指早期的纸不够平整，不适合书写。 12．根据第三段蔡伦造纸的步骤：①收集、处理材料（图d，对应“collected tree bark…heated them on fire”）②用木槌打碎材料（图b，对应“beat them with a wooden hammer”）③混合材料制浆（图c，对应“mixed the broken materials with water to make pulp”）④晾晒成纸（图a，对应“dried the screen in the air”）正确顺序为d-b-c-a， 13．根据第一段“only the rich and the government could keep written records and receive education”、第四段“making long-distance trade easier and safer”，可知造纸术影响了教育（education）和商业（business）领域。 14．根据第四段“After Cai Lun’s improvements, paper became popular and common people were able to use it.”说明蔡伦改进后普通人也能使用纸。 15．文章主题是中国古代发明——造纸术，最可能出现在关于中国发明的杂志中。 Passage 4 （24-25八年级下·广东省深圳市龙岗区百合外国语学校·期末） According to the report, during the past summer vacation, a 15-year-old boy made a model plane on his own in less than a month.

My dad somehow got some education. He read a lot and loved reading novels. But he always told me to read textbooks instead. At first, I was kind of sad. Textbooks didn’t seem as interesting as the exciting stories. But I trusted my dad, so I started reading textbooks hard. Science textbooks let me know about the world around me. I learned how plants grew. This was very useful in our village because most people were farmers. I told the farmers what I learned, like how to plant crops better.

After learning some descriptive words and sentence patterns, I could vividly describe to foreign visitors how the wildflowers dotted the fields like colorful stars in our village. History textbooks took me to different times and places. I learned what people in the past did, how they solved difficulties, and what the great achievements were. I realized our village’s story was just a small part of a long history. This made me deepen my understanding of our village’s past. Because my dad made me read textbooks, I got a good education.

My friend Mary was waiting for me by the diving boards. “Come on,” Mary said. “Let’s jump off the high dive.” I looked at her with wide eyes. “The high dive? No way!” “Don’t be scared,” Mary said. “It’s really fun.” I walked away and sat on the pool side. “You go. I’ll watch you.” Mary shook her head. “You don’t know what you’re missing.” I watched Mary climb up the tall ladder. It made me feel sick just imagining being up there. I had been afraid of the high dive since I could remember. The thought of being up so high frightened me. I had never even tried to jump off. Mary jumped off the board and then climbed out of the pool. “Come on, you’ve got to try it. It’s wonderful,” she said. I looked up at the board. Maybe it was time for a new experience. “Okay,” I said. I climbed up the ladder for the high diving board. When I got to the top, I held the rails (扶手) carefully.

Because of too much fishing, almost 90 percent of the worldwide population of large fish—the ones we usually eat—has disappeared. If we don’t act, these animals will totally disappear. That will influence every animal in the ocean. The demand for fish is growing. Almost a billion people around the world get their protein (蛋白质) mostly from fish. Doctors praise seafood for being low in fat. But what seems like a healthy choice for humans is causing a disaster to our oceans. “People are consuming (消费) too much,” says Lance Morgan, a scientist at the Marine Conservation Biology Institute. A dish of tuna in restaurants costs more than just one animal's life. When fish like tuna disappear from the ecosystem (生态系统), the ocean’s food chain (链) breaks down. Animals such as sharks, which normally eat tuna, may die because they find no food. The news may be scary, but taking action from now on can prevent harm that hasn’t happened yet. World organizations are ordering countries to stop fishing too much. The Monterey Bay Aquarium gives seafood choices to anyone hoping to keep healthy without destroying the environment. “If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values and beliefs,” says Morgan. “Then decide what you’re going to eat.” 6．How does the writer start the text? A．By giving a fact. B．By asking a question. C．By telling a story. D．By using a saying. 7．What does the underlined word “demand” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Wish. B．Support. C．Need. D．Price. 8．From Paragraph 3, we know that ________. A．if sharks die out, tuna will die out soon B．tuna will be more popular in restaurants C．tuna plays an important role in the ecosystemD．tuna disappeared because they found no food 9．What’s the purpose of the text? A．To tell people to stop polluting our oceans. B．To tell people to protect wildlife in oceans. C．To tell people to avoid eating too much seafood.

However, I , with the other 238 families who live in my building, have been living with a similar system for years. Here, I’d like to talk about our experiences. In October 2016, the government chose our neighborhood to be part of a pilot（试点的）program for garbage sorting. To help the program run smoothly, we set up a volunteer team. I am one of the volunteers. Several of us, however, doubted whether we could lead people in the building to change their habits. We began with the usual methods. We posted notices around the neighborhood. We also went door to door, spreading the word. However, they made plenty of mistakes. For example, many didn’t know wet garbage meant food waste. Instead, they thought it meant that was wet. Some even refused to sort their garbage. As a result, we volunteers had to do lots of sorting ourselves. At the same time we went around explaining the rules. We kept talking to those who refused to sort their garbage. We let them know we had sorted their garbage for them. It was a matter of time and patience. We believed they would finally change their mind. Six months later we were successful in changing people’s mind. People in my building had begun sorting in their garbage. Some even joined us to sort garbage that was sorted improperly. I think face-to-face talks played an important role. Sometimes, these talks led us to conflict（冲突）, but they were much more effective（有效的）than notices and flyers（小传单）. It was interesting to see what happened. I hope everyone knows garbage sorting is good for them. 16．When did the writer’s neighborhood start its garbage-sorting program? A．In October, 2016. B．In April, 2017. C．After six months. D．On July 1, 2019. 17．How long did it take the people in the writer’s building to change their garbage-sorting habits? A．For 238 days. B．For about 6 months. C．For about 7 months. D．For 2016 days. 18．What does the writer hope for when speaking of the garbage sorting plan of Shanghai? A．More volunteers will join the writer’s volunteer team. B．People know wet garbage means food waste. C．Face-to face talk can play an important role in garbage-sorting plan. D．Everyone can change garbage sorting habits. 【答案】16．A 17．B 18．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者在社区里做垃圾分类的志愿者的经历以及感悟。 16．细节理解题。根据“In October 2016, the government chose our neighborhood to be part of a pilot（试点的）program for garbage sorting”可知，在2016年10月份开始垃圾分类试点，故选A。 17．细节理解题。根据“Six months later we were successful in changing people’s mind.”可知，大约6个月改变了社区人们垃圾分类的习惯，故选B。 18．推理判断题。根据“It was a matter of time and patience. We believed they would finally change their mind”以及“I hope everyone knows garbage sorting is good for them.”可知，作者希望人们最终能够改变他们的观点进行垃圾分类，让每个人都知道垃圾分类的益处，故选D。 主题01 人与自然——常见动物 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·广东汕头市潮阳实验学校·期末） Once upon a time, there was a beaver (海狸) named Furry living in the forest. He had lots of friends and liked to play outside. One day a big wolf came and started saying, “This is my forest and I am bigger and stronger than you. So you will have to move out of the forest by tomorrow or I will destroy (摧毁) your house.” Later that night Furry and his friends were thinking what to do. Furry suggested that they should build a trap (陷阱) to catch the wolf and teach him a lesson that there was somebody stronger than him. The beavers decided it would be a deep hole covered with sticks on it. One of the beavers asked, “How are we going to do that?” Furry suggested that they could ask the rabbits for help to build the trap. About one hour later the beavers went to the rabbits’ house and explained what was going to happen tomorrow in the morning. The rabbits agreed to help. It took them the whole night but they finished it by the morning. In the morning they all hid up in the trees The wolf came and barked at them to pack their bags and leave the forest as soon as possible. Since the wolf wasn’t looking where he was going, he fell into the trap. All the animals came and saw that the wolf was trapped in the hole. The wolf kept asking whether they could let him out of the hole but Furry said, “We would but since you have been so unkind to us we will not let you out of the hole.” Then the wolf promised that he would never tell them to move out of the forest and would be friendly to them.

The white crane they named Love was saved and set free in early 2018. Love was first found on April 24th 2018, when Li Zengming, a farmer, drove past a reservoir in the countryside of Nanchang, capital of Jia anxi Province. Seeing it trying to fly but falling again and again, Li thought that it might be hurt. He drove to the shore and went into the water to rescue it.” I saw the white crane with dull eyes and a weak body. It was probably hurt. If I let it alone, it would be in danger,” Li recalled. After more than half an hour, Li finally took the white crane back to the shore. Then he called his uncle, an experienced animal saver, for help. “Come over immediately and let’s send it to the police station right away” said his uncle. When seeing the weak wild crane, Jiang Qingchun from the Five-star Police Station, put down his work and checked it carefully. “At the end of April, migratory (迁移的) birds usually return to the north. It’s abnormal for a white crane to still be living nearby. It may be left behind because of its poor health, Jiang said. He contacted Wang at the Jiangxi Academy of Forestry for help. Wang’s team found Love did not seem to be hurt or have illness, but it suffered from hunger and tiredness. After five days treatment, its weight rose from 3.75kg to 4kg. Being kept for long will be bad for birds’ ability to survive in the wild. Wang’s team decided on May 2nd to set it free at a place in northern China.

What’s even more surprising is that the three who have become good at driving in just eight weeks are not special dogs that belong to some rich owners, but abandoned (被遗弃的) ones at New Zealand’s SPCA． To get their training started, 10-month old Peter, 18-month old Monty and one-year old Ginny were selected by the SPCA’s CEO and moved to Animal school that teaches animals skills for movies and television shows. The two-month driving classes began with teaching the dogs some basic driving skills like turning the steering wheels (方向盘) and stopping the cars. After that the dogs practiced everything they had learnt in a special model car. Then finally, it was time for the big test — driving a real car! Though they all seemed to do very well, the real test came on Monday night when Monty, the best driver of the three, showed his great driving skill on live television with no human’s help. Why would the SPCA go through so much trouble to show the skills of homeless dogs. The reason is to show that keeping a dog does not mean owners are getting a pet that is worse than one bought it from a keeper. The CEO of the SPCA is hoping that this unusual event will be enough to make people in New Zealand to thinking about them, when looking for a pet. 11．The three dogs used to live ______.

B．To teach them until they become movies and television stars. C．To provide shows for homeless children. D．To encourage people to accept the abandoned (被遗弃的) dogs. 【答案】11．A 12．B 13．D 【导语】本文介绍了新西兰动物保护协会训练三只流浪狗学开车的事情，说明了收养的宠物不一定比买的宠物差的道理，鼓励人们收养被遗弃的小动物。 11．推理判断题。根据第二段“the three who have become good at driving in just eight weeks are not special dogs that belong to some rich owners, but abandoned ones at New Zealand’s SPCA”，可推知这三只狗过去住在街上，故选A。 12．细节理解题。根据短文内容，先是选择三只狗转到动物学校b，教它们一些基本的驾驶技巧a；然后这三只狗在模型汽车上练习它们所学到的一切c，接下来它们驾驶一辆真正的汽车e；最后三者中表现最好的司机在电视直播中展示其卓越的驾驶技术d。可知“b-a-c-e-d”顺序正确，故选B。 13．推理判断题。根据最后一段“The reason is to show that keeping a dog does not mean owners are getting a pet that is worse than one bought it from a keeper. The CEO of the SPCA is hoping that this unusual event will be enough to make people in New Zealand to thinking about them, when looking for a pet”，可推知SPCA决定教这三只狗学开车是为了鼓励人们接受被遗弃的狗，故选D 主题02 人与社会——叙事忆旧 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·广东惠州市实验中学初中部·期末） In November 2001, Gordon Ramsay and his wife Tana Ramsay welcomed their child, Tilly, into the world.

I had to prepare for the entrance test, which made me stressed（有压力的）. I cried several nights. When we are feeling very stressed, many of us may feel like crying. Shedding tears is a good way to deal with our “dark” emotions（情绪）. When we cry, we are letting go of our stress, I certainly felt better after I had cried. After I had calmed myself down, I reached out to some friends and teachers who encouraged me. I managed to get an offer from a qualified senior school. With increased competition, it isn’t surprising that many students today are feeling stressed out. Many of us think of our “dark” emotions to be our enemies（敌人）. It appears silly for us to be so easily beaten by them. That’s why we might feel too shy to cry. When we are feeling sad, we may also have difficulty asking for help or talking to others. “Dark” emotions are not in themselves a bad thing. Just like happiness, they are common. But you should certainly find ways to manage them. Try to take part in social events. Eat healthy, balanced meals. Find people who can support you. Exercise regularly. These things can all help. The most important thing, though, is to accept your feelings. They are nothing to be ashamed of. 6．Why did the writer cry when preparing the entrance test? A．The time passed quickly. B．He felt worried. C．He missed his junior school. D．He got little help. 7．How did the writer let go of stress? A．By crying all the time. B．By reaching out to family. C．By entering a qualified senior school. D．By asking friends and teachers for help. 8．Why are we too shy to cry when under stress? A．We are not brave enough to ask for help. B．We are not strong enough and look foolish. C．We are not wise enough to hide our feelings. D．We are not confident enough to talk to others. 9．What does the writer think of “Dark” emotions? A．Silly. B．Useful. C．Natural. D．Unsatisfying. 10．Why does the writer write this passage? A．To offer us some ways to eat healthy. B．To help us to stay away from dark emotions C．To tell us to prepare for the entrance test well. D．To encourage us to accept our feelings, no matter good or bad. 【答案】6．B 7．D 8．B 9．C 10．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者从回忆自己当年为了考上好高中而压力巨大，引出谈论的话题：压力大时，要想办法与之斗争，不要轻易放弃。 6．细节理解题。根据“I had to prepare for the entrance test, which made me stressed（有压力的）. I cried several nights”可知，因为作者很担心，很有压力，故选B。 7．细节理解题。根据“After I had calmed myself down, I reached out to some friends and teachers who encouraged me”可知，作者向朋友和老师求助，故选D。 8．细节理解题。根据“It appears silly for us to be so easily beaten by them.

A butterfly landed on a branch above her, and Lia suddenly stopped. She held her breath and smiled, watching its perfectly symmetrical wings. Now Mt. Ferris, their science teacher, gave them a special assignment: to find the most beautiful example of symmetry and give a report to the class on it. Years ago, she was given a microscope for her birthday. Now she realized that she could use it to study symmetry. She set up her “laboratory” in the shed. While observing, she was amazed by what she saw, but none of it seemed to fit for the assignment. None of it was truly beautiful. “What are you bringing to class?” Lia asked her friend Matt on the bus ride to school. “A model airplane,” replied Matt successfully. “And my brother Leo is bringing his guitar.” “Those things are nice,” thought Lia, but there must be something more beautiful out there.” That night, she stayed in the shed until her father called her inside. “Come on, Lia. The weather forecast says it’s going to snow.” Lia’s heart sank. The cold weather would mean fewer things to see under the microscope. Lia had to hand in her assignment in just a few days. She began to feel worried. Just then, the shed door was blown open by a strong wind. As she turned her head against the wind, she caught sight of a single snowflake that had blown into the shed and onto the stage of her microscope. Lia looked through the eyepiece, and she saw the most shining and beautiful example of symmetry she could ever have imagined. She cried excitedly, “A snowflake! Why didn’t I think of that before?” She took a closer look through the eyepiece, but the snowflake had disappeared—melted. “No! Wait! Oh, no!” cried Lia. She had to take the snowflake to class, but how? It would melt before she could even get on the bus! Then she had an idea. Lia ran to the house and took her camera. With the help of the microscope, she took many pictures of the snowflakes on the stage before they melted. Each snowflake was different, symmetrical, and unbelievably beautiful! 11．Why did Lia feel worried when winter arrived? A．She didn’t like snowy days at all. B．It was difficult for her to find symmetrical things. C．Her assignment had to be completed after winter. D．The shed was so cold that she couldn’t study there. 12．According to the story, the symmetrical things would be shown in Mr. Ferris’ science class ЕXCEPT ________. A．a butterfly B．a model airplane C．a guitar D．a snowflake picture 13．Which of the following isTRUE? A．Lia could bring some real snowflakes to her science class.

It encouraged people to help scientists find a white marigold (金盏花). Most marigolds are either golden or brown, so it is very hard to find a white one. Some people tried, but they failed, so many people soon forgot the announcement. Twenty years later, the university received a letter from an old woman. She sent 100 white marigold seeds along with the letter. The woman was a fan of flowers. When she first read the university’s announcement 20 years ago, she got very excited like others. She thought she could grow her own white marigolds. But her children were against her decision. She knew nothing about seed genetics (遗传学), after all. So her dream of growing white marigolds was just a dream. Still, the woman worked to make it happen. She planted some of the most common marigold seeds and took good care of them. A year later, when the marigolds came out, she chose one of the faintest (最暗淡的) flowers and took its seeds. She planted these seeds and waited another year for them to bloom. The next year, she again grew them and chose… Day after day, year after year, through many seasons, her life changed. Her husband died, her children moved away, and many other things happened, but her desire to grow white marigolds remained strong in her heart. Finally, one day after 20 years, she went out to her garden and found a marigold that was not just white--it was as white as the purest snow. 15．What did the woman do to finally grow white marigolds? A．She got the support from her husband and children. B．She planted the seeds of the faintest flowers every year. C．She worked hard to study seed genetics. D．She received some seeds of white marigolds. 16．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 refers to ________.

C．Only people with lots of knowledge can solve problems. D．We should learn to stay cheerful in times of trouble. 【答案】15．B 16．D 17．A 【导语】本文讲述了老妇人从年轻起每年都种下金盏花种子，坚持了二十年最终成功收获白色金盏花的故事，告诉我们只有坚持梦想才会赢得成功。 【详解】15．推理判断题。根据“She planted some of the most common marigold seeds and took good care of them.

From the warmth of the morning sun to the laughter of children playing in the park, Emily found joy in simple things. One day, Emily faced a problem. She was going to lose her job. Feeling a mix of uncertainty (不确定) and worry, Emily sat down with her jar, wondering if she could get comfort (慰藉) from the notes in such a trying time.

A child came to see him fishing. The old man was really good at fishing and it didn’t take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish. But the child shook her head. The old man was surprised and asked, “Why don’t you want the fish?” The child replied, “I want the fishing rod (竿) in your hands.” The old man asked, “Why do you want the rod?” “It doesn’t take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won’t be afraid of not having any more fish to eat. I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesn’t know how to fish, she cannot have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod. It’s useless to only have a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the most important, not the fishing rod. Too many people think that if they have a “fishing rod” in their life, they will no longer fear the wind and rain.
