The gifts can talk back. Toymakers have called 2025 the “Year of AI”. They are creating special robots and teddy bears. These toys, like chatbots (聊天机器人), can teach, play games, and tell stories. At school, students use AI tools and even study with chatbot teachers. Clearly, AI is deeply changing children’s childhood (童年). ________ It gives children special learning experiences. For example, if a child is not good at math, AI can teach him in different ways with fun pictures and songs. In places with few teachers, AI helps improve reading and speaking skills. For fun, AI makes toys smarter and lets children talk with them. However, AI has dangers. Sometimes, it gives wrong answers or uses rude words. The words can make people feel unhappy or angry. Some students use AI to cheat on homework or make bad videos (视频). Also, AI shows kids only what they like and stops them from trying new things. What’s worse, chatbots always agree with children and never get angry, so children may not learn how to get along with real people. To solve these problems, parents should control the time and check what their kids do online. Schools must teach kids to understand others’ feelings. Governments also need to make laws to keep AI safe. AI can give kids a great childhood, and the children are the luckiest ones if they can learn when to turn it off. 1．What have Toymakers named 2025? A．The Year of AI. B．The Year of Toys. C．The Year of Snake. D．The Year of Chatbot. 2．Which of the following can be put in “________” in Paragraph 2? A．It is no fun to use AI. B．AI does all the work. C．Parents don’t like AI. D．AI has some advantages. 3．What does the underlined word “rude” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Simple. B．Private. C．Impolite.

C．Why not make rules to keep you safe? D．You should understand its feelings well. 5．What is the best title of the passage? A．How to Control AI B．The Effects of AI on Children C．The value of AI Toys D．How to Make AI Tools for Teachers 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文介绍2025被称作人工智能年，人工智能深刻改变孩子的童年，既带来学习和玩乐的便利，也存在诸多隐患，还给出了相应的解决办法。 1．细节理解题。根据“Toymakers have called 2025 the ‘Year of AI’.”可知，玩具制造商将2025年称作人工智能年，故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据后文“It gives children special learning experiences...AI helps improve reading and speaking skills...AI makes toys smarter”可知，本段主要讲述人工智能给孩子们带来的各种好处，空处应总起说明人工智能有一些优势，故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据“The words can make people feel unhappy or angry.”可知，这种话语会让人不悦或生气，由此可推测rude的意思是“不礼貌的”，故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“To solve these problems, parents should control the time and check what their kids do online.”可知，父母应该控制孩子使用人工智能的时间，所以可能会说孩子可以用半小时，故选B。 5．最佳标题题。根据全文内容可知，文章讲述了人工智能给孩子们的童年带来的改变，既讲了优势也讲了弊端，核心是人工智能对孩子的影响，最佳标题为“The Effects of AI on Children”，故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·广东省深圳市龙岗区十四校联考·期末） Many classrooms today have computers in them. However, there are usually not enough for each student to use one at the same time. Computers cost a lot and they also take up space in small classrooms. Laptop computers are more convenient because they need less space, and they can be carried or moved easily. However, most schools still cannot have enough money to buy them for every student. These days there are cheaper devices (设备) that are small enough to be held in one hand but are still very powerful. The development of these handheld devices is allowing more schools to bring technology into classrooms. Some of the first handheld devices were called PADs. They were used to help people in business stay well-planned. They could make lists of things to do each day, store important phone numbers, and even make files for work. Now we have smart phones and small tablets (平板电脑). These latest devices have improved a lot since those early PDA devices. Those used in schools today can do all the things the early PDAs did and more. They can be connected to the internet, run useful programs and help in science experiments. Because handheld devices are quite cheap, schools can buy more of them. In some schools, students pay some money at the beginning of the year for a handheld device and they can get the money back at the end of the year if they return the device in good condition. In the future, schools might be able to buy computers or laptops for every student. Handheld devices are turning out to be good things to use instead until then. 6．Schools don’t provide every student with a laptop computer because ________. A．there is not enough space B．there is not enough money C．most students have their own laptops D．the computer programs are not useful 7．In addition to what the early handheld devices did, the latest ones can ________. A．make a to-do list B．store phone numbers C．make files for work D．help in experiments 8．The underlined word “they” in paragraph 4 refers to ________. A．students B．teachers C．schools D．businessmen 9．From the passage, we can infer that ________. A．students need to learn how to write programs B．small cheap devices can be helpful in classrooms C．schools should provide more computer classes D．all the students can use handheld devices for free 10．The best title for the passage can be “________”. A．The Problems of Modern Technology B．The Growing Need for Modern Technology C．The Use of Handheld Devices in Class D．The Development of Handheld Devices 【答案】6．B 7．D 8．A 9．B 10．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了随着科技的发展，学校在课堂上引入掌上设备的使用，极大地便利了师生的教与学。 6．细节理解题。根据第一段末尾“However, most schools still cannot have enough money to buy them for every student.”可知，尽管手提电脑由于轻巧更加地便利，但学校仍没有足够的资金为每个学生购置电脑，B选项符合。故选B。 7．细节理解题。根据第三段末尾处“Those used in schools today can do all the things the early PDAs did and more. They can be connected to the internet, run useful programs and help in science experiments.”可知，如今课堂上使用的新设备，具有早期平板的所有功能，并能够连网运行有用的程序，以及在科学实验中起作用。因此最新的设备是还能够在实验中起到帮助的。故选D。 8．代词指代题。根据倒数第二段的“In some schools, students pay some money at the beginning of the year for a handheld device and they can get the money back at the end of the year if they return the device in good condition.”可知，一开始是学生付了一部分费用，学年末也是学生能够被退回该部分费用，前提是设备还是完好的，因此代词they指代的是学生。故选A。 9．推理判断题。根据文章最后两段的“Because handheld devices are quite cheap, schools can buy more of them.”和“Handheld devices are turning out to be good things to use instead until then.”可知，如今掌上设备足够便宜，学校能够买更多，并且证明了它们确实是有用的东西。B选项符合。故选B。 10．标题归纳题。根据文章开头“Many classrooms today have computers in them.”和文章结尾“In the future, schools might be able to buy computers or laptops for every student. Handheld devices are turning out to be good things to use instead until then.”可知，文章主要介绍课堂中智能设备的使用，并且到现在掌上设备已经被证明了是有用的东西，C选项符合。故选C。 Passage 3 （24-25八年级下·广东省揭阳市惠来县第一中学·期末） Computer scientist Mary has an idea for a new robot to help her work with children. How should it look? The robot should have arms to be able to carry things. And if it is going to communicate with people, it will also need a face. Scientists believe that giving a robot a face can make it seem more friendly. Humans would also like to pay more attention (关注) to robots with faces. But what kind? For Mary, she wants to make sure that her new robot doesn’t look too much like a human. She wants people to just treat (对待) it as a machine-person. If it looks more like a human than a machine, she thinks users might find it a bit creepy and feel afraid, Mary also believes that robot faces don’t need to look a lot like ours. Her research shows that we can enjoy communicating with robots whether or not they look like humans, because our brains are able to look for faces. Just put two circles on top of a robot’s body, and we will see a face. Dave feels differently. He believes that although at first we might be afraid when seeing a robot with a face like humans, we may soon be used to it. If robots are going to work closely with humans, they should look as much like us as possible. After all, faces are an important part of the way we communicate. To make his robots look as much like real people as possible, Dave invented a special skin (皮肤) for their faces. With this skin, robots can show human-like expressions and appear to be angry, sad, happy or surprised. Dave’s robots are also programmed to copy expressions. How? Just imagine his robot is looking at you. The cameras in its eyes send pictures of your face to its central computer! 11．Why do scientists think a robot needs a face? A．It will become more beautiful. B．It can do better in carrying things. C．It will pay more attention to children. D．It can better communicate with people. 12．What does the underlined word “creepy” mean in paragraph 2? A．Uncomfortable to look at. B．Impossible to touch. C．Boring to talk to.. D．Difficult to understand. 13．What can help us to look for faces according to Mary? A．The eyes. B．The brains. C．The robot. D．Two circles. 14．Which of the following would Dave most probably agree with? A．People should treat robots as humans. B．Robots need to express their own feelings. C．Robots shouldn’t look too much like humans. D．People can easily accept robots with a human face. 15．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To explain the reasons why robots should have faces. B．To advise what humans can do with robots with faces. C．To share ideas on what kind of faces robots should have. D．To show how scientists invent robots with different faces. 【答案】11．D 12．A 13．B 14．D 15．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍两个人对机器人是否要有人形脸持有的不同看法。 11．细节理解题。根据“And if it is going to communicate with people, it will also need a face. ”可知，机器人要与人交流，故需要脸。故选D。 12．词句猜测题。根据“If it looks more like a human than a machine, she thinks users might find it a bit creepy and feel afraid.”可知，划线词与“feel afraid”并列，由此可猜测creepy意为“看着不舒服”。故选A。 13．细节理解题。根据“Her research shows that we can enjoy communicating with robots whether or not they look like humans, because our brains are able to look for faces. ”可知她的研究表明，不管机器人长得像不像人类，我们都能享受与它们的交流，因为我们的大脑能够识别人脸。故选B。 14．细节理解题。根据“He believes that although at first we might be afraid when seeing a robot with a life like face, we may soon get used to it.”可知，尽管机器人有人形脸可能一开始看起来令人害怕，但是我们会很快适应，说明人们能轻松地接受人形脸的机器人。故选D。 15．主旨大意题。根据“Computer scientist Mary has an idea for a new robot to help her work with children. How should it look?”和全文可知，本文主要讨论机器人需要什么脸型。故选C。 主题03 人与社会——发明与创造 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·广东肇庆市高要区第一中学·期末） Nowadays, AI is becoming increasingly popular and has found its way into many parts of our daily lives. An online video maker Jiang Wei used AI technology (技术) to “talk to” the great poet (诗人) Li Bai. In his video, he asked Li Bai how he became a great poet in history. He also told Li Bai about the movie Chang An. He shared this video on the Internet and some students showed their ideas online. Xin Chengji, a 14-year-old boy, he thinks using AI to talk with people who lived in the past is great. It gives people a way to know about the life in the past. What’s more, when talking with them, we may get some encouragement (鼓励) so that we can improve ourselves. Zhang Meimei a 14-year-old girl, she thinks the idea may sound great, but in fact, the person we talk with through AI could never be the real person. The talk is made up! So she thinks it’s meaningless. In conclusion, AI’s role in connecting past and present causes different opinions. Whether it’s inspiring (鼓舞) or not, it surely makes us think deeply about its value and effect. 1．Which is the structure of the article? (①= Paragraph 1, ②= Paragraph 2... ) A．B．C．D． 2．Where can we most probably find the article? A．In a science fiction novel. B．In a technology magazine. C．In a history textbook.

C．Zhang Meimei thinks it’s meaningful because the conversation isn’t real. D．Jiang Wei asked Li Bai how he became a great poet in history in his video. 4．What does the underline word “meaningless” mean? A．专业的 B．严肃的 C．多彩的 D．无意义的 5．What is the best title for the article? A．AI Technology in Our Daily Life B．Different Opinions on Using AI to Connect with the Past C．Jiang Wei’s Creative Video about AI and Li Bai D．The Influence of AI on Students’ Thoughts 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讨论用AI去连接过去是否有意义和价值。 1．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段引出论点，即用AI去连接过去是否有意义和价值；第二、三段则呈现两个观点；最后一段进行总结。故选A。 2．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要讨论用AI去连接过去是否有意义和价值，可能出现在科技杂志中。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“An online video maker Jiang Wei used AI technology(技术) to “talk to” the great poet(诗人) Li Bai. In his video, he asked Li Bai how he became a great poet in history.”可知，Jiang Wei在他的视频中问李白是如何成为历史上伟大的诗人的。故选D。 4．词句猜测题。根据“the person we talk with through AI could never be the real person. The talk is made up! So she thinks it’s meaningless.”可知，她认为通过AI去沟通的人不是那个真人，谈话是编造的，所以她认为那是无意义的。故选D。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章主要讨论用AI去连接过去是否有意义和价值，所以标题可以是“用AI去连接过去的不同观点”。故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·广东广州市聚德中学·期末） http://www.ACTIVEblog.heinle.com Blog→TheMostUsefulinventions The Most Useful Inventions The Invention Blog: A Place for People to Share Opinions Today’s question is: What do you think is the most useful invention of all time? Posted by Amy on Saturday, November 5There are many — the train, the car, and the airplane are useful machines, but these are not my choices. For an everyday, useful invention, I vote for the air conditioner: I live in Guangzhou, and during the summer the temperature can be 35 degrees Celsius or more. It’s so hot! I’m not joking when I say that, without an air conditioner, people here can not work or study. A lot of people might get sick without cool air. Last summer, one of my classmates even suffered heatstroke in the countryside because there was no air conditioner. Posted by John on Sunday, November 6The most useful invention of all time is surely the Internet. We can now reach people and do business faster. I own a clothing store in Mexico City and there is a lot of competition. I also have a website now. People from all over the world can buy my clothing using my website. I can keep in touch with friends and family in Mexico and around the world using e-mail. It is faster than usual mail, and it’s cheaper than using the phone! Posted by Peter on Monday, November 7John, I also think that the Internet is useful. But, in my opinion, there is an “invention” that is even more important, and that’s electricity. Of course, this isn’t a man-made invention, but great people like Benjamin Franklin and Alessandro Volta learned how to use it. It’s closely related to people’s daily life now. My patients often need to have operations immediately at night. What if there’s no electricity? What’s more, without it, many of the world’s most important inventions would not work. 6．Why does Amy think air conditioners are the most useful? A．Because it is easy to get sick in summer. B．Because the temperature is high in summer. C．Because students need to study in summer. D．Because people work better with it in summer. 7．What can we know about the writers according to the passage? A．All of them live in different cities in China. B．They posted their articles on the same day. C．All of them agreed the Internet was the most useful. D．They shared their opinions about the same topic. 8．Which of the following is Not True? A．John does his business on the Internet now. B．Peter probably works as a doctor in a hospital. C．Amy suffered heatstroke in Guangzhou last summer. D．Benjamin Franklin once learned how to use electricity. 9．Where can we probably read this article? A．In a magazine. B．From a website. C．In a textbook. D．From an advertisement. 【答案】6．D 7．D 8．C 9．B 【导语】本文中三个人谈论了自己认为最有用的发明是什么。 6．细节理解题。根据“I’m not joking when I say that, without an air conditioner, people here can not work or study.”可知Amy认为空调是最有用的是因为有了空调人们在夏天工作得更好。故选D。 7．细节理解题。根据“Today’s question is:What do you think is the most useful invention of all time?”及三个人分享的观点，可知他们都在谈论自己认为最有用的发明是什么。故选D。 8．细节理解题。根据“Last summer, one of my classmates even suffered heatstroke in the countryside because there was no air conditioner.”可知去年夏天中暑的是Amy的同学。故选C。 9．细节理解题。根据“http://www.ACTIVEblog.heinle.com Blog→TheMostUsefulinventions”可知文章可能选自一个网站。故选B。 Passage 3 （24-25八年级下·广东省珠海市文园中学（集团）·期末） AI robots are becoming more and more common in our life.

WEDNESDAY Lately, I had problems listening carefully at school, but luckily my homework wasn’t that hard. Our reading homework was to write about a famous writer, so I chose I. M. Spooky. But I could hardly find any information on him. The only thing I could find was the review in the back of his books. The good news was that since (既然) I couldn’t find anything on I. M. Spooky, I finished my homework in about two minutes. With a name like I. M. Spooky, I guess you have no choice (选择) but to write scary books for a living. I kind of wish I had never started reading those Spineticklers books, though. Because once you start reading them, it’s hard to stop. And the books are starting to give me dreams. Spineticklers number 71 is about a kid who grows a tail. That one really made me scared, and the night I read it, I had a dream that I was the one with the tail. In fact, my dream started off good, because there were some fun things you could do with a tail that you wouldn’t think of. In my dream I didn’t hate my tail, I was proud (骄傲的) of it. The only thing I didn’t like about it was that when I got excited about something, everyone could tell. 1．Greg finished his homework quickly because he _______. A．knew the writer very well B．listened carefully at school C．only wrote the writer’s name D．found a piece of good news 2．What did Greg think of Spineticklers books? A．He didn’t like them. B．He didn’t mind them. C．He really enjoyed them. D．He couldn’t stand them. 3．The underlined word “That one” refers to _______ A．the tail B．the book C．the dream D．the night 4．We can learn from the underlined sentence that the tail ___________. A．made him look scary B．brought him bad dreams C．stopped him doing fun things D．showed his feelings easily 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要记录了一个小屁孩 (Greg) 的日常生活和感受，特别是关于他做作业、阅读书籍以及做梦的经历。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段“The only thing I could find was the review in the back of his books.”和第三段“The good news was that since I couldn’t find anything on I. M. Spooky, I finished my homework in about two minutes.”可知，Greg几乎找不到关于作家I. M. Spooky的任何信息，所以推测他可能只是写了作家的名字，因此能快速完成作业。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段 “Because once you start reading them, it’s hard to stop. And the books are starting to give me dreams.”可知，Greg一旦开始读这些书就很难停下来，并且书还让他做梦；据此可以推断，他被书吸引，很喜欢这些书。故选C。 3．词义猜测题。根据第五段“Spineticklers number 71 is about a kid who grows a tail. That one really made me scared, and the night I read it,”可知，那天晚上，Greg开始读《Spineticklers》系列中的第71本书，让他很害怕；据此可以推断，划线部分“That one”指代上文提到的《Spineticklers》系列中的第71本书。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“In my dream I didn’t hate my tail, I was proud of it. The only thing I didn’t like about it was that when I got excited about something, everyone could tell.”可知，在Greg的梦里，他并不讨厌他的尾巴，相反，他为它感到骄傲；他唯一不喜欢的是，当他对某件事感到兴奋时，每个人都能通过他的尾巴看出来；据此可以推断，他的尾巴很容易暴露他的情绪。故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·广东广雅中学·期末） In the local park, a large unusual object has been found. A creature from outer space has appeared from the object, which is clearly some sort of spacecraft. Read the following responses by people who saw the alien landing. Child playing in the parkI was playing on the swings with my friends when I saw this great big streak of light like a rainbow come out the sky towards me. I was terrified so I hid under the slide. There was a screening noise as it crashed into the football pitch. There was smoke coming out of it. I thought it was a helicopter or something. Then the noise started turning and it opened. The huge alien came walking out holding his hand over his eyes. He saw me and then just…well. he waved. I thought “He can’t be that bad if he waves,” but I ran all the way home to tell Mum. I don’t like to admit it but I cried. Just a bit. Owen Jones, 10 Local residentI don’t like him. This alien comes from out of nowhere and ruins our park, scaring our children. He seems friendly enough now but we don’t know if he has got weapons and things on board his spaceship. I know the doctor says he is healthy but he may have all sorts of diseases we don’t even know about. If he stays, it will mean trouble. Send him back where he came from and let the people in this community get on with our own lives like we always did. Emily Widgery, 88 Local doctorI have examined the alien and I can say there are no signs of any illness. However, I think we should be careful. We are dealing with an unknown being from another world and it may present some health threats to humans in the future. I am hoping to talk to him later about our medicines and I want to find out if he has any knowledge or medicines that can help humans. I am already beginning to learn his language. Dr Regina Coldfingers, 56 Police InspectorEyewitness reports tell us that the spacecraft landed in the local park on Saturday morning between 9:00 and 9:30. Our officers arrived at the scene.

But back in my hometown, you have to scan a QR code to pay for it, and unluckily, the app doesn’t work sometimes.” ④ On the social media platform, many travelers, including those visiting the city, shared fond memories of Shenzhen’s public restrooms. ⑤ “Shenzhen’s public restrooms are clean. They have clean air, hand soap, and hand dryers. Some are air-conditioned and even with showers. What is the most important is that they have toilet paper,” said netizens praising the restrooms. ⑥ The praise by netizens is the result of the so-called “toilet revolution (革命),” which started in 2017, requiring the city’s 4,500 public toilets to offer free toilet paper as per restroom management standards. To get all the restrooms taken part in the “revolution,” the government introduced monthly public restroom grades based on the health and environment of public restrooms across the city. ⑦ The restroom services also include a family restroom, which is meant for families or anyone who needs extra privacy or extra time due to a disability. According to the government, one third of the city’s public restrooms, has arranged a family restroom. ⑧ Meanwhile, LED screens located at the entrance to many new restrooms in shopping centers and at the airport show information about waiting times and the number of spare stalls, along with weather and air quality information. According to the government, the city will continue improving the service and intelligence of public restrooms. 9．Which writing skill is used in paragraph 1? A．Raising a question.

But back in my hometown, you have to scan a QR code to pay for it, and unluckily, the app doesn’t work sometimes.”可知，王女士提到深圳的厕所总是有厕纸，对比家乡需扫码付费却常故障，可见她最怀念深圳公厕的免费厕纸，故选A。 11．推理判断题。根据“According to the government, one third of the city’s public restrooms, has arranged a family restroom”可知，该市三分之一的公共卫生间已增设了家庭专用卫生间。结合“which started in 2017, requiring the city’s 4,500 public toilets to offer free toilet paper as per restroom management standards.”可知，全市有4500个公共卫生间，一共是4500×1/3=1500，故选B。 12．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，全文通过网民热议和厕所革命措施，说明深圳公厕以免费厕纸、家庭卫生间、智能显示屏等设计成为城市新名片。故选C。 13．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，①：王女士发帖引发热议（引入话题）；②③④⑤：网民具体赞美深圳公厕（现象描述）；⑥⑦：介绍厕所革命措施；⑧：未来智能化改进。故选D。 Passage 4 （24-25八年级下·广东东莞市东华初级中学·期末） What will you be in ten years?

And some kids get money or other rewards (回报) from their parents, such as playing computer games for 20 minutes. But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Susie Walton, a parenting educator. She believes that if kids get rewards, they will think there is no need to do chores unless they can get something. For example, kids won’t sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will clean the floor if their parents reward them for doing it. Susie said, “A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that it’s all family members’ job to keep their home clean.” Other people have a different opinion. They believe that money or other rewards can encourage kids to do more chores. Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and gifts that can be used either online or in the real world. With the app Chore Monster, kids get points after doing chores. Kids can exchange (交换) them for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall. What do you think? Should kids get rewards for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything? 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By giving some facts. B．By giving some opinions. C．By using a teacher’s words. D．By asking a question. 2．Which of the following is Susie Walton’s opinion? A．Don’t ask kids to do housework. B．Don’t use apps to encourage kids. C．Don’t reward kids for doing chores. D．Don’t let kids play computer games. 3．What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refers to? A．Chores. B．Gifts. C．Points. D．Apps. 4．Which is the correct structure (结构) of the passage? (P: paragraph) A．B．C．D． 5．Which is the best title for the passage? A．How can we teach kids to do chores? B．What kind of chores should kids do? C．Should kids do chores at home? D．Should kids get rewards for doing chores? 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了孩子是否应该因为做家务而得到奖励，文章通过引用不同人的观点和例子，展现了支持和反对奖励的两种立场。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据“Many kids help their parents to do chores such as washing the dishes, cleaning the floor and taking out the rubbish in the house.”可知，作者陈述了孩子做家务的事实。故选A。 2．观点态度题。根据“She believes that if kids get rewards, they will think there is no need to do chores unless they can get something.”可知，Susie Walton的观点是不要因为做家务而奖励孩子。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据“With the app Chore Monster, kids get points after doing chores. Kids can exchange (交换) them for real rewards”可知，孩子们可以用做完家务后获得的积分换取实际奖励，所以划线部分指代上文中的“points”。故选C。 4．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段描述普遍现象并给出了存在争议的点；第二段和第三段分别给出了反方观点和正方观点；最后一段以问句的方式，引发读者思考，B项符合。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章围绕“孩子做家务是否该得到奖励”这一争议展开分析与讨论，D项符合。故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·广东省东莞市虎门成才实验学校·期末） Many kids help their parents to do chores such as washing the dishes, cleaning the floors and taking out the rubbish in the house.

It’s important for kids to see that it’s all the family members’ job to keep their homes clean.””可知，苏珊认为做家务是孩子的责任，不应该给他们奖励。故选C。 8．主旨大意题。根据第三段“They believe that money or other rewards can encourage(鼓励) kids to do more chores.”可知，第三段主要论述给孩子奖励的好处。故选D。 9．细节理解题。根据第三段“Other people have different opinions(观点). They believe that money or other rewards can encourage(鼓励) kids to do more chores.”可知，另一些人认为金钱可以鼓励孩子做家务。故选B。 10．推理判断题。根据最后一段“What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores?

In exchange, they get some money or other computer time. Paying kids for housework is one of the most popular topics, especially at a time when everyone is more careful about money. Some parents think since adults are paid to do their jobs, we should pay kids for everyday housework. But some people don’t think kids should get rewards(报酬) for doing housework. Susie Walton, an expert, believe that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. “Running any kind of housework is a team effort,” Walton said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and families decide how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like what they want.” Other people believe that getting a reward encourages kids to do housework, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money. There are also apps(程序) that gives kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑现) either online or in the real world. “Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards,” says Chris Bergman. “And kids need rewards to help encourage them. ” 11．Which of the following housework is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1? A．Washing the dishes. B．Cooking meals. C．Folding the clothes. D．Making the bed. 12．The underlined phrase “in return” in Paragraph 3 has the same meaning as “________”. A．as a reward B．for punishment C．on sale D．under control 13．What’s Walton’s idea in the passage? A．Running exercise is a kind of team work. B．People work to get some rewards. C．Kids have responsibilities in the house. D．Doing the housework is only the parents’ job. 14．According to Chris Bergman, kids should be encouraged to ________. A．do housework without rewards B．do more housework C．stay away from housework D．do housework be getting rewards 15．Which is the best title for the passage? A．Kids Should Study as Well as Doing Housework B．Let Children Do Some Housework C．Should Kids Be Rewarded for Doing Housework D．Doing Housework Is Good for Children’s Study 【答案】11．B 12．A 13．C 14．D 15．C 【分析】文章大意：现在很多孩子所家务，比如洗盘子，铺床，叠衣服等等，很多父母会给出孩子钱或玩电脑的时间作为报酬，有些人支持这种做法，认为是对孩子做家务的一种鼓励；但是有些人是反对的，他们认为家务是家庭每个成员应该承担的义务。 11．细节理解题。根据“Many kids do housework such as doing the dishes, making the bed, and folding the clothes.”可知，这里提到了洗盘子，铺床，叠衣服，而没有提到选项中的做饭，故选B。 12．词义猜测题。根据But some people don’t think kids should get rewards(报酬) for doing housework”，父母通常用给钱的方式作为做家务的一种回报，故in return在这里意思是“回报，报酬”，与as a reward同义，故选A。 13．细节理解题。根据“A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house”可知在他看来，家里的每一位成员都有完成家务的责任，故选C。 14．细节理解题。根据最后一句的描述“‘Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards,’ says Chris Bergman. ‘And kids need rewards to help encourage them.’”可知Chris Bergman认为孩子们可以得到报酬，他们需要报酬作为鼓励。故选D。 15．最佳标题。阅读短文可知，本文主要针对孩子做家务是否应得到报酬，而列出了两种不同的观点，C选项“孩子做家务应该得到奖励吗”符合本文标题，故选C。 Passage 4 （24-25八年级下·广东茂名市第一中学初中部·期末） John is thirteen now.

Toymakers have called 2025 the “Year of AI”. They are creating special robots and teddy bears. These toys, like chatbots (聊天机器人), can teach, play games, and tell stories. At school, students use AI tools and even study with chatbot teachers. Clearly, AI is deeply changing children’s childhood (童年). ________ It gives children special learning experiences. For example, if a child is not good at math, AI can teach him in different ways with fun pictures and songs. In places with few teachers, AI helps improve reading and speaking skills. For fun, AI makes toys smarter and lets children talk with them. However, AI has dangers. Sometimes, it gives wrong answers or uses rude words. The words can make people feel unhappy or angry. Some students use AI to cheat on homework or make bad videos (视频). Also, AI shows kids only what they like and stops them from trying new things. What’s worse, chatbots always agree with children and never get angry, so children may not learn how to get along with real people. To solve these problems, parents should control the time and check what their kids do online. Schools must teach kids to understand others’ feelings. Governments also need to make laws to keep AI safe. AI can give kids a great childhood, and the children are the luckiest ones if they can learn when to turn it off. 1．What have Toymakers named 2025? A．The Year of AI. B．The Year of Toys. C．The Year of Snake. D．The Year of Chatbot. 2．Which of the following can be put in “________” in Paragraph 2? A．It is no fun to use AI. B．AI does all the work. C．Parents don’t like AI. D．AI has some advantages. 3．What does the underlined word “rude” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Simple. B．Private. C．Impolite.

C．Why not make rules to keep you safe? D．You should understand its feelings well. 5．What is the best title of the passage? A．How to Control AI B．The Effects of AI on Children C．The value of AI Toys D．How to Make AI Tools for Teachers Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·广东省深圳市龙岗区十四校联考·期末） Many classrooms today have computers in them. However, there are usually not enough for each student to use one at the same time. Computers cost a lot and they also take up space in small classrooms. Laptop computers are more convenient because they need less space, and they can be carried or moved easily. However, most schools still cannot have enough money to buy them for every student. These days there are cheaper devices (设备) that are small enough to be held in one hand but are still very powerful. The development of these handheld devices is allowing more schools to bring technology into classrooms. Some of the first handheld devices were called PADs. They were used to help people in business stay well-planned. They could make lists of things to do each day, store important phone numbers, and even make files for work. Now we have smart phones and small tablets (平板电脑). These latest devices have improved a lot since those early PDA devices. Those used in schools today can do all the things the early PDAs did and more. They can be connected to the internet, run useful programs and help in science experiments. Because handheld devices are quite cheap, schools can buy more of them. In some schools, students pay some money at the beginning of the year for a handheld device and they can get the money back at the end of the year if they return the device in good condition. In the future, schools might be able to buy computers or laptops for every student. Handheld devices are turning out to be good things to use instead until then. 6．Schools don’t provide every student with a laptop computer because ________. A．there is not enough space B．there is not enough money C．most students have their own laptops D．the computer programs are not useful 7．In addition to what the early handheld devices did, the latest ones can ________. A．make a to-do list B．store phone numbers C．make files for work D．help in experiments 8．The underlined word “they” in paragraph 4 refers to ________. A．students B．teachers C．schools D．businessmen 9．From the passage, we can infer that ________. A．students need to learn how to write programs B．small cheap devices can be helpful in classrooms C．schools should provide more computer classes D．all the students can use handheld devices for free 10．The best title for the passage can be “________”. A．The Problems of Modern Technology B．The Growing Need for Modern Technology C．The Use of Handheld Devices in Class D．The Development of Handheld Devices Passage 3 （24-25八年级下·广东省揭阳市惠来县第一中学·期末） Computer scientist Mary has an idea for a new robot to help her work with children. How should it look? The robot should have arms to be able to carry things. And if it is going to communicate with people, it will also need a face. Scientists believe that giving a robot a face can make it seem more friendly. Humans would also like to pay more attention (关注) to robots with faces. But what kind? For Mary, she wants to make sure that her new robot doesn’t look too much like a human. She wants people to just treat (对待) it as a machine-person. If it looks more like a human than a machine, she thinks users might find it a bit creepy and feel afraid, Mary also believes that robot faces don’t need to look a lot like ours. Her research shows that we can enjoy communicating with robots whether or not they look like humans, because our brains are able to look for faces. Just put two circles on top of a robot’s body, and we will see a face. Dave feels differently. He believes that although at first we might be afraid when seeing a robot with a face like humans, we may soon be used to it. If robots are going to work closely with humans, they should look as much like us as possible. After all, faces are an important part of the way we communicate. To make his robots look as much like real people as possible, Dave invented a special skin (皮肤) for their faces. With this skin, robots can show human-like expressions and appear to be angry, sad, happy or surprised. Dave’s robots are also programmed to copy expressions. How? Just imagine his robot is looking at you. The cameras in its eyes send pictures of your face to its central computer! 11．Why do scientists think a robot needs a face? A．It will become more beautiful. B．It can do better in carrying things. C．It will pay more attention to children. D．It can better communicate with people. 12．What does the underlined word “creepy” mean in paragraph 2? A．Uncomfortable to look at. B．Impossible to touch. C．Boring to talk to.. D．Difficult to understand. 13．What can help us to look for faces according to Mary? A．The eyes. B．The brains. C．The robot. D．Two circles. 14．Which of the following would Dave most probably agree with? A．People should treat robots as humans. B．Robots need to express their own feelings. C．Robots shouldn’t look too much like humans. D．People can easily accept robots with a human face. 15．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To explain the reasons why robots should have faces. B．To advise what humans can do with robots with faces. C．To share ideas on what kind of faces robots should have. D．To show how scientists invent robots with different faces. 主题03 人与社会——发明与创造 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·广东肇庆市高要区第一中学·期末） Nowadays, AI is becoming increasingly popular and has found its way into many parts of our daily lives. An online video maker Jiang Wei used AI technology (技术) to “talk to” the great poet (诗人) Li Bai. In his video, he asked Li Bai how he became a great poet in history. He also told Li Bai about the movie Chang An. He shared this video on the Internet and some students showed their ideas online. Xin Chengji, a 14-year-old boy, he thinks using AI to talk with people who lived in the past is great. It gives people a way to know about the life in the past. What’s more, when talking with them, we may get some encouragement (鼓励) so that we can improve ourselves. Zhang Meimei a 14-year-old girl, she thinks the idea may sound great, but in fact, the person we talk with through AI could never be the real person. The talk is made up! So she thinks it’s meaningless. In conclusion, AI’s role in connecting past and present causes different opinions. Whether it’s inspiring (鼓舞) or not, it surely makes us think deeply about its value and effect. 1．Which is the structure of the article? (①= Paragraph 1, ②= Paragraph 2... ) A．B．C．D． 2．Where can we most probably find the article? A．In a science fiction novel. B．In a technology magazine. C．In a history textbook. D．In a sports newspaper. 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the article? A．Jiang Wei “talk to” the great scientist. B．Xin Chengji thinks it isn’t a great way to learn about the past. C．Zhang Meimei thinks it’s meaningful because the conversation isn’t real. D．Jiang Wei asked Li Bai how he became a great poet in history in his video. 4．What does the underline word “meaningless” mean? A．专业的 B．严肃的 C．多彩的 D．无意义的 5．What is the best title for the article? A．AI Technology in Our Daily Life B．Different Opinions on Using AI to Connect with the Past C．Jiang Wei’s Creative Video about AI and Li Bai D．The Influence of AI on Students’ Thoughts Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·广东广州市聚德中学·期末） http://www.ACTIVEblog.heinle.com Blog→TheMostUsefulinventions The Most Useful Inventions The Invention Blog: A Place for People to Share Opinions Today’s question is: What do you think is the most useful invention of all time? Posted by Amy on Saturday, November 5There are many — the train, the car, and the airplane are useful machines, but these are not my choices. For an everyday, useful invention, I vote for the air conditioner: I live in Guangzhou, and during the summer the temperature can be 35 degrees Celsius or more. It’s so hot! I’m not joking when I say that, without an air conditioner, people here can not work or study. A lot of people might get sick without cool air. Last summer, one of my classmates even suffered heatstroke in the countryside because there was no air conditioner. Posted by John on Sunday, November 6The most useful invention of all time is surely the Internet. We can now reach people and do business faster. I own a clothing store in Mexico City and there is a lot of competition. I also have a website now. People from all over the world can buy my clothing using my website. I can keep in touch with friends and family in Mexico and around the world using e-mail. It is faster than usual mail, and it’s cheaper than using the phone! Posted by Peter on Monday, November 7John, I also think that the Internet is useful. But, in my opinion, there is an “invention” that is even more important, and that’s electricity. Of course, this isn’t a man-made invention, but great people like Benjamin Franklin and Alessandro Volta learned how to use it. It’s closely related to people’s daily life now. My patients often need to have operations immediately at night. What if there’s no electricity? What’s more, without it, many of the world’s most important inventions would not work. 6．Why does Amy think air conditioners are the most useful? A．Because it is easy to get sick in summer. B．Because the temperature is high in summer. C．Because students need to study in summer. D．Because people work better with it in summer. 7．What can we know about the writers according to the passage? A．All of them live in different cities in China. B．They posted their articles on the same day. C．All of them agreed the Internet was the most useful. D．They shared their opinions about the same topic. 8．Which of the following is Not True? A．John does his business on the Internet now. B．Peter probably works as a doctor in a hospital. C．Amy suffered heatstroke in Guangzhou last summer. D．Benjamin Franklin once learned how to use electricity. 9．Where can we probably read this article? A．In a magazine. B．From a website. C．In a textbook. D．From an advertisement. Passage 3 （24-25八年级下·广东省珠海市文园中学（集团）·期末） AI robots are becoming more and more common in our life. They can help people do many things.

WEDNESDAY Lately, I had problems listening carefully at school, but luckily my homework wasn’t that hard. Our reading homework was to write about a famous writer, so I chose I. M. Spooky. But I could hardly find any information on him. The only thing I could find was the review in the back of his books. The good news was that since (既然) I couldn’t find anything on I. M. Spooky, I finished my homework in about two minutes. With a name like I. M. Spooky, I guess you have no choice (选择) but to write scary books for a living. I kind of wish I had never started reading those Spineticklers books, though. Because once you start reading them, it’s hard to stop. And the books are starting to give me dreams. Spineticklers number 71 is about a kid who grows a tail. That one really made me scared, and the night I read it, I had a dream that I was the one with the tail. In fact, my dream started off good, because there were some fun things you could do with a tail that you wouldn’t think of. In my dream I didn’t hate my tail, I was proud (骄傲的) of it. The only thing I didn’t like about it was that when I got excited about something, everyone could tell. 1．Greg finished his homework quickly because he _______. A．knew the writer very well B．listened carefully at school C．only wrote the writer’s name D．found a piece of good news 2．What did Greg think of Spineticklers books? A．He didn’t like them.

A creature from outer space has appeared from the object, which is clearly some sort of spacecraft. Read the following responses by people who saw the alien landing. Child playing in the parkI was playing on the swings with my friends when I saw this great big streak of light like a rainbow come out the sky towards me. I was terrified so I hid under the slide. There was a screening noise as it crashed into the football pitch. There was smoke coming out of it. I thought it was a helicopter or something. Then the noise started turning and it opened. The huge alien came walking out holding his hand over his eyes. He saw me and then just…well. he waved. I thought “He can’t be that bad if he waves,” but I ran all the way home to tell Mum. I don’t like to admit it but I cried. Just a bit. Owen Jones, 10 Local residentI don’t like him. This alien comes from out of nowhere and ruins our park, scaring our children. He seems friendly enough now but we don’t know if he has got weapons and things on board his spaceship. I know the doctor says he is healthy but he may have all sorts of diseases we don’t even know about. If he stays, it will mean trouble. Send him back where he came from and let the people in this community get on with our own lives like we always did. Emily Widgery, 88 Local doctorI have examined the alien and I can say there are no signs of any illness. However, I think we should be careful. We are dealing with an unknown being from another world and it may present some health threats to humans in the future. I am hoping to talk to him later about our medicines and I want to find out if he has any knowledge or medicines that can help humans. I am already beginning to learn his language. Dr Regina Coldfingers, 56 Police InspectorEyewitness reports tell us that the spacecraft landed in the local park on Saturday morning between 9:00 and 9:30. Our officers arrived at the scene.

And some kids get money or other rewards (回报) from their parents, such as playing computer games for 20 minutes. But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Susie Walton, a parenting educator. She believes that if kids get rewards, they will think there is no need to do chores unless they can get something. For example, kids won’t sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will clean the floor if their parents reward them for doing it. Susie said, “A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that it’s all family members’ job to keep their home clean.” Other people have a different opinion. They believe that money or other rewards can encourage kids to do more chores. Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and gifts that can be used either online or in the real world. With the app Chore Monster, kids get points after doing chores.

Passage 3 （24-25八年级下·广东南海实验中学·期末） Many kids do housework such as doing the dishes, making the bed, and folding the clothes. In exchange, they get some money or other computer time. Paying kids for housework is one of the most popular topics, especially at a time when everyone is more careful about money. Some parents think since adults are paid to do their jobs, we should pay kids for everyday housework. But some people don’t think kids should get rewards(报酬) for doing housework. Susie Walton, an expert, believe that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. “Running any kind of housework is a team effort,” Walton said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and families decide how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like what they want.” Other people believe that getting a reward encourages kids to do housework, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money. There are also apps(程序) that gives kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑现) either online or in the real world. “Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards,” says Chris Bergman. “And kids need rewards to help encourage them. ” 11．Which of the following housework is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1?
