On one trip, I was about 10 years old. I was playing around in the back of the car 22 my grandfather was driving. My grandmother had the passenger seat. She smoked through the trip, and I hated the 23 because it made me cough a lot. I read about smoking in an article. It says that every puff (吸) of a cigarette takes two minutes off your life.

Then I moved my head into the 26 of the car and announced (宣布) loudly, “So far, you’ve taken nine years off your life!”Hearing this, my grandmother began to 27 and it was not what I wanted. I did not know what to do. My grandfather who had been driving quietly stopped the car, 28 it and opened my door. He looked at me calmly, and said 29 , “See, grandmother is crying! One day, you’ll understand that it’s harder to be kind than clever.” As I grow up, I 30 that cleverness is a gift and kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy—they are given.

It follows the amazing experiences of Lemuel Gulliver, a kind and curious ship’s doctor who has a great passion for sailing and exploring the world. The book mainly tells his four unbelievable journeys to magical and imaginary countries, full of surprises and fun. On his first voyage, a terrible storm destroys his ship. Gulliver swims to safety and wakes up in Lilliput, a land of tiny people who are just six inches tall. He is caught and tied tightly with thousands of small ropes. Later, he uses his big size to help the Lilliputians win a war against their enemy island, becoming their hero at first. Next, he is left on a strange island during his second trip and arrives in Brobdingnag, the land of giants. The giants are as tall as mountains! Gulliver becomes a little “living toy” for them. He meets many dangers: he is almost eaten by a huge cat and has to fight terrible small animals. In his third journey, he visits several weird islands. One island is run by silly scientists who only care about useless experiments and can’t take care of their daily lives. Finally, he reaches the land of the Houyhnhnms. These are wise, gentle horses who live in peace. They rule the ugly, rude human-like creatures called Yahoos. Gulliver loves the horses’ honest life and feels sorry for human beings’ bad behaviors. Through these exciting stories, Swift not only brings us fun and laughter, but also lets us think about people’s good and bad sides, society and politics. It is a great classic adventure book and a smart satire, still popular and meaningful for readers today. 34．What happened to Gulliver when he first arrived in Lilliput?

The giants are as tall as mountains!”可知，大人国是一个巨人居住的地方，巨人像山一样高。 37．根据最后一段“Swift not only brings us fun and laughter, but also lets us think about people’s good and bad sides, society and politics.”可知，读者能从这本书中获得乐趣，并思考人性和社会问题。 C Tasmania (塔斯马尼亚岛) is the smallest state in Australia, but it has a lot to offer.

Since September 2024, the school has carried out a garbage sorting activity to teach students about environmental protection and sustainable development (可持续发展). The school has put different colored garbage bins in every classroom and on the playground. Green bins are for kitchen waste, blue for recyclable waste, red for harmful waste, and grey for other waste. The teachers teach students how to sort different kinds of garbage and why it’s important. For example, recyclable waste like paper and plastic can be made into new things, and harmful waste like batteries can pollute the earth if not sorted properly. To make the activity more interesting, the school holds a garbage sorting competition every month. Students need to sort different kinds of garbage quickly and correctly. The winning class gets a small prize, like a green plant or a book about the environment. Many students said the competition makes them remember the sorting rules better. So far, the school’s garbage sorting activity has been very successful. The amount of recyclable waste has increased by 40%, and the amount of harmful waste has been sorted correctly by over 90%. The headmaster said, “Garbage sorting is a small thing, but it’s a big step for environmental protection. We hope our students can form a good habit of sorting garbage and take the habit home to their families.

Stress is a normal part of life, especially for teenagers who have to deal with schoolwork, friendships, and family expectations. A little stress can actually be helpful—it can motivate you to study for a test or prepare for a big event. 46 So how can you manage stress in a healthy way? Here are some suggestions. First, identify what is causing your stress. Is it a difficult subject at school? A problem with a friend? 47 Once you know what the problem is, you can start to think about solutions. Second, talk to someone you trust. Keeping your feelings bottled up inside can make stress worse. 48 Sharing your worries with a parent, a teacher, or a good friend can make them feel less overwhelming. Sometimes, just saying things out loud helps you see them more clearly. Third, take care of your body. Your physical health and mental health are closely connected. Make sure you’re getting enough sleep—teenagers need about 8 to 10 hours a night. Eat healthy foods and drink plenty of water. 49 Exercise releases chemicals in your brain that naturally improve your mood. Fourth, find time to relax and do things you enjoy. 50 Whether it’s reading a book, listening to music, playing a sport, or simply taking a walk outside, make sure you have time each day to do something just for you. A. But too much stress can harm your health and happiness. B. Sometimes stress comes from not knowing what to expect. C. Writing down your feelings in a journal can also be helpful. D. Regular exercise, even just a 20-minute walk, can greatly reduce stress. E. You don’t have to deal with everything on your own. F. Different people have different ways of dealing with stress. G. This doesn’t mean spending hours watching TV or scrolling through social media. 【答案】46. A 47. B 48. E 49. D 50. G 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了青少年面临压力的普遍性，并详细介绍了四种健康应对压力的建议，旨在帮助学生正确管理压力。 46. 根据前文“A little stress can actually be helpful...”可知，一点压力是有益的，下文说“如何管理压力”，中间空处需要一个转折句，从“压力有益”转向“压力过大有害”，从而引出管理压力的必要性。A项“但太多的压力会损害你的健康和幸福。”自然引出下文。 47. 根据前文“First, identify what is causing your stress.”和“Is it a difficult subject at school? A problem with a friend?”，询问压力来源并且列举了两个具体的、已知的问题。后文空处需要再补充一个压力来源。B项“有时压力来自不知道会发生什么。”自然承接前文。 48. 根据前文“Keeping your feelings bottled up inside can make stress worse.”和后文“Sharing...can make them  feel less overwhelming.”，前文提到“把情绪憋在心里会让压力更糟”，这是指出“独自承受”的坏处，后文又提到“分享”的好处，中间空处间需要一个过渡句，从“独自承受不好”转向“可以寻求帮助”。E项“你不必独自处理所有事情。”承接前文，引出后文。 49. 根据前文“Make sure you’re getting enough sleep...Eat healthy foods and drink plenty of water.”和后文“Exercise releases chemicals in your brain that naturally improve your mood.”，前文提到“充足睡眠、健康饮食、多喝水”，后文提到“运动能释放改善情绪的化学物质”，中间空处需要引出“运动”这个话题，共同呼应“照顾好身体”这个话题。D项“定期锻炼，即使是20分钟的散步，也能大大减轻压力。”自然引出后文。 50. 根据前文“Fourth, find time to relax and do things you enjoy.”和后文“Whether it’s reading a book, listening to music, playing a sport...”，找时间放松，做自己喜欢的事，空处需要解释它的定义，与后文列举的健康活动形成对比补充。G项“这并不意味着花几个小时看电视或浏览社交媒体。”承接前文，引出后文。 第II卷 非选择题（55分） 五、词汇运用(共13小题；每小题1分，满分13分) 第一节 根据下列句子所给汉语注释或首字母，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。每空限填一词。 51. We should e________ for at least 30 minutes every day to keep healthy. 【答案】exercise 【解析】句意：为了保持健康，我们每天应该至少锻炼30分钟。首字母e以及后文保持健康提示，exercise意为“锻炼”，作动词，情态动词后加动词原形。 52. The movie is very i________, so all of us like it very much. 【答案】interesting 【解析】句意：这部电影非常有趣，所以我们所有人都很喜欢它。结合首字母“i”和“so all of us like it very much (所以我们所有人都很喜欢它)”的语境，此处需要表示“有趣的”的形容词，“interesting”用来描述事物(电影)的特点，故填interesting。 53. My favorite h________ is reading books. It makes me know more about the world. 【答案】hobby 【解析】句意：我最喜欢的爱好是读书，这让我更多地了解世界。结合首字母“h”和“reading books(读书)”的语境，此处需要表示“爱好”的名词，“hobby”意为“爱好”，符合语义，谓语是is，所以填单数名词。 54. He has a physical ________(缺陷), but he never gives up his dream. 【答案】disability 【解析】句意：他有生理缺陷，但他从未放弃自己的梦想。 “缺陷”对应的单词是disability，physical disability生理缺陷/身体残疾，前面有不定冠词a，因此使用单数形式disability。 55. It is ________(必要的) for us to respect the elderly. 【答案】necessary 【解析】句意：尊重老人对我们来说是必要的。分析句子结构可知，空格处在系动词“is”之后作表语，需使用形容词。根据中文提示“必要的”可知，对应的英文单词为necessary。本句符合“It is+adj.+for sb. to do sth.”的固定结构，此处应使用形容词原级。 56. We believed that our ________(自愿的) work was meaningful and brought warmth to the old people. 【答案】voluntary 【解析】句意：我们相信我们的志愿工作是有意义的，并且给老人们带来了温暖。根据中文提示可知，“自愿的”对应的英文是voluntary，是形容词，此处作定语，修饰后面的名词“work”，意为“自愿的；义务的”。 57. All of us talked to the elderly ________(尊敬地) and behaved politely. 【答案】respectfully 【解析】句意：我们所有人都尊敬地和老人交谈，并且举止礼貌。根据中文提示可知，“尊敬地”对应的英文是respectfully，是副词，此处修饰动词“talked”，描述说话的方式，意为“尊敬地；恭敬地”。 58. Many students joined in the activity and provided different kinds of ________(服务) for the old. 【答案】services 【解析】句意：许多学生参加了这项活动，并为老人们提供了不同种类的服务。根据汉语提示可知，英文对应词为service。空前“different kinds of”意为“不同种类的”，其后通常接可数名词的复数形式，表示多种服务项目，故使用复数形式services。 第二节 请认真阅读下面短文，从方框中选择适当的单词或短语，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，填入其正确形式。每个单词或短语仅用一次。 pain, weakness, important, clear, sign up Many students are afraid of failure and avoid difficult tasks, but this is wrong. I used to find giving speeches difficult, because I couldn’t express myself 59 . Instead of hiding, I chose to 60 for a speech competition. I experienced failure many times, but I never gave up. This experience helps us realize the 61 of persistence(坚持不懈). Failure shows our 62 and pushes us to improve. Only by facing 63 moments bravely can we make progress and become better. 【答案】59. clearly 60. sign up 61. importance 62. weaknesses 63. painful 【解析】 【导语】本文主要通过作者克服演讲恐惧的经历，阐述了直面失败、坚持不懈方能成长进步的道理。 59. 句意：因为我无法清晰地表达自己。此处需要一个副词修饰动词express，表示“清晰地表达”，clear的副词为clearly。 60. 句意：我选择报名参加演讲比赛。结合“for a speech competition”可知是报名参加演讲比赛，固定搭配“choose to do sth.”表示“选择做某事”，to后接动词原形，故填sign up。 61. 句意：这个经历帮助我们意识到坚持的重要性。结合“of persistence”可知是指坚持的重要性，“the…of”结构中间需填名词，important的名词形式为importance。 62. 句意：失败显示我们的弱点和促使我们提高。our后需要接一个名词表示“我们的弱点”，weakness是可数名词，此处泛指多方面的弱点，常用复数形式weaknesses。 63. 句意：只有勇敢面对痛苦的时刻，我们能够取得进步和变得更好。此处需要一个形容词修饰名词moments，表示“痛苦的时刻”，pain的形容词为painful。 六、短文填空 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 请认真阅读下面短文，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 I once worked as 64 volunteer at a children’s hospital in South Africa. My job was to help make the kids feel happy during their stay. Sounds interesting, right? 65 some people can’t understand why I chose to do it. Let me tell you the reasons why I made this choice. The 66 (one) reason was to help people have a better future. In this big world, so many people need care. Take the children in the hospital where I worked, for example. They often felt lonely facing all the difficulties, 67 (especial) when their parents had other children to care for. So, why not try to help as many people as possible? Moreover, volunteering in Africa has allowed me to 68 (feel) different parts of our planet. And I 69 (meet) people from different corners of the world. They had their own ideas, 70 (experience) and dreams. We shared amazing memories and learned 71 each other. It was really 72 (meaning) to be close to them. I hope to help even 73 (many) people in the future！ 【答案】 64．a 65．But 66．first 67．especially 68．feel 69．met 70．experiences 71．from 72．meaningful 73．more 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲了作者在南非儿童医院做志愿者的经历及其原因——帮助他人、感受世界、结识朋友。 64．句意：我曾在一家南非的儿童医院做志愿者。根据“... volunteer”可知，此处泛指一名志愿者，volunteer以辅音音素开头，需用不定冠词a。故填a。 65．句意：但有些人无法理解我为什么选择这样做。根据“Sounds interesting, right?”和“some people can't understand”可知，这里表示但有些人无法理解我为什么选择这样做，前后为转折关系，应用but，句首单词首字母需大写。故填But。 66．句意：第一个原因是帮助人们拥有更美好的未来。根据“The ... reason”可知，此处表示第一个原因，表示顺序需用序数词；one“一”，为基数词，其序数词是first。故填first。 67. 句意：他们常常感到孤独，尤其是当他们的父母还要照顾其他孩子时。根据“... when”可知，此处表示尤其是当他们的父母还要照顾其他孩子时，空处修饰整个时间状语从句，需用副词形式，表示“尤其，特别”；especial“特别的”，为形容词，其副词形式是especially。故填especially。 68．句意：此外，在非洲做志愿者让我感受到了地球的不同角落。根据“has allowed me ...”可知，这里表示在非洲做志愿者让我感受到了地球的不同角落，feel“感觉”，allow sb. to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“允许某人做某事”。故填feel。 69．句意：我遇到了来自世界不同角落的人。根据“I…people from different corners of the world”可知，这里表示我遇到了来自世界不同角落的人，由上下文时态可知，此处描述过去发生的事情，用一般过去时；meet“遇见”，为动词，其过去式是met。故填met。 70．句意：他们有自己的想法、经历和梦想。根据“their own ideas, ... and dreams”可知，这里表示他们有自己的想法、经历和梦想，and连接并列名词，ideas和dreams均为复数形式；experience“经历”，为可数名词，此处应用复数形式。故填experiences。 71．句意：我们分享了美好的回忆，并互相学习。根据“learned ... each other”可知，这里表示互相学习，learn from是固定短语，意为“向……学习”。故填from。 72．句意：与他们亲近真的很有意义。根据“was really ...”可知，这里表示与他们亲近真的很有意义，系动词was后接形容词作表语；meaning“意义”，为名词，其形容词形式是meaningful“有意义的”。故填meaningful。 73．句意：我希望将来能帮助甚至更多的人！根据“even ... people”及句意可知，这里表示我希望将来能帮助甚至更多的人，此处暗含比较 (与现在相比)，需用比较级；many“许多”，其比较级是more。故填more。 七、阅读表达(共3小题；74题2分，75题2分，76题3分，满分7分) 请认真阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题，并将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。 Now many people are used to watching videos at a faster speed. It has become a new trend. Video platforms offer viewers more choices. They can watch videos at 1.25x, 1.5x or even 2x speed. People want to finish watching a movie or a TV show in less time. They want to get the key part at once. Some even use a higher speed to make the movie “perfect” in their hearts. They can skip the boring parts and only enjoy the exciting ones. However, this habit brings problems. When people watch videos at a faster speed, they may miss the important messages. They can’t understand the true meaning of the movie. They lose the fun of enjoying the whole story. According to Zhang, if someone speeds up a movie while watching, their comments on the film cannot be valid. As a result, they watch videos faster to check “watched” or “listened to” on their to-do lists, instead of enjoying the movies and songs themselves. However, people don’t realize that speeded-up content sometimes destroys their patience with life. One Chinese Internet user said, “I found myself growing impatient with tasks like research work or studying for exams, which can take hours, days, or even weeks. I’d think, ‘How can I speed this up?’ And that thought really scares me.” We already live in a fast-paced society, yet we still try to speed it up in every aspect. But at what cost? Some things should remain unhurried, such as our appreciation for beauty and the value of hard work. 74. According to the passage, what do video platforms offer viewers? 75. How do people make their movies perfect? 76. When you watch videos, would you like to watch at the normal speed or speed up the content? Why?   【答案】 74. They offer viewers more choices. 75. They use a higher speed to skip the boring parts and only enjoy the exciting ones. 76. I prefer to watch at normal speed. Because I can enjoy the whole story and understand the true meaning better. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了当前人们倍速观看视频的趋势、原因及其带来的负面影响，并呼吁人们在某些方面应慢下来享受生活。 74. 文章第1段提到“Video platforms offer viewers more choices.”因此答案是原文直接信息。 75. 文章第2段明确指出“They can skip the boring parts and only enjoy the exciting ones.”这是原文中的具体原因，直接提取。 76. 本题为开放性问题，可根据个人观点作答，答案不唯一，理由需合理。若选择正常速度，可结合文章第3段“They can’t understand the true meaning of the movie.”作为反面论证支持正常速度的好处。 八、书面表达（满分25分） 时光荏苒，不觉中八年级的学习生活接近尾声。回首过去，一年来自己学习和生活上的成长与变化良多；展望未来，九年级机遇与挑战并存，但心中依然憧憬无限。你校八年级同学将以“My growth and changes”为题举行演讲比赛，请根据征稿内容写一篇短文，具体内容如下： 注意： 1. 内容需覆盖所有要点，结构清晰，语句通顺； 2. 词数100左右，文中不得出现真实人名、校名。 3. 文章开头已给出，不计入总词数。 My growth and changes Hello, everyone!

It follows the amazing experiences of Lemuel Gulliver, a kind and curious ship’s doctor who has a great passion for sailing and exploring the world. The book mainly tells his four unbelievable journeys to magical and imaginary countries, full of surprises and fun. On his first voyage, a terrible storm destroys his ship. Gulliver swims to safety and wakes up in Lilliput, a land of tiny people who are just six inches tall. He is caught and tied tightly with thousands of small ropes. Later, he uses his big size to help the Lilliputians win a war against their enemy island, becoming their hero at first. Next, he is left on a strange island during his second trip and arrives in Brobdingnag, the land of giants. The giants are as tall as mountains! Gulliver becomes a little “living toy” for them. He meets many dangers: he is almost eaten by a huge cat and has to fight terrible small animals. In his third journey, he visits several weird islands. One island is run by silly scientists who only care about useless experiments and can’t take care of their daily lives. Finally, he reaches the land of the Houyhnhnms. These are wise, gentle horses who live in peace. They rule the ugly, rude human-like creatures called Yahoos. Gulliver loves the horses’ honest life and feels sorry for human beings’ bad behaviors. Through these exciting stories, Swift not only brings us fun and laughter, but also lets us think about people’s good and bad sides, society and politics. It is a great classic adventure book and a smart satire, still popular and meaningful for readers today. 34．What happened to Gulliver when he first arrived in Lilliput?

Since September 2024, the school has carried out a garbage sorting activity to teach students about environmental protection and sustainable development (可持续发展). The school has put different colored garbage bins in every classroom and on the playground. Green bins are for kitchen waste, blue for recyclable waste, red for harmful waste, and grey for other waste. The teachers teach students how to sort different kinds of garbage and why it’s important. For example, recyclable waste like paper and plastic can be made into new things, and harmful waste like batteries can pollute the earth if not sorted properly. To make the activity more interesting, the school holds a garbage sorting competition every month. Students need to sort different kinds of garbage quickly and correctly. The winning class gets a small prize, like a green plant or a book about the environment. Many students said the competition makes them remember the sorting rules better. So far, the school’s garbage sorting activity has been very successful. The amount of recyclable waste has increased by 40%, and the amount of harmful waste has been sorted correctly by over 90%. The headmaster said, “Garbage sorting is a small thing, but it’s a big step for environmental protection. We hope our students can form a good habit of sorting garbage and take the habit home to their families. In this way, more people can join in the environmental protection work.” 42．What color of garbage bin is for recyclable waste in No.2 Middle School? A．Green. B．Blue. C．Red.

Stress is a normal part of life, especially for teenagers who have to deal with schoolwork, friendships, and family expectations. A little stress can actually be helpful—it can motivate you to study for a test or prepare for a big event. 46 So how can you manage stress in a healthy way? Here are some suggestions. First, identify what is causing your stress. Is it a difficult subject at school? A problem with a friend? 47 Once you know what the problem is, you can start to think about solutions. Second, talk to someone you trust. Keeping your feelings bottled up inside can make stress worse. 48 Sharing your worries with a parent, a teacher, or a good friend can make them feel less overwhelming. Sometimes, just saying things out loud helps you see them more clearly. Third, take care of your body. Your physical health and mental health are closely connected. Make sure you’re getting enough sleep—teenagers need about 8 to 10 hours a night. Eat healthy foods and drink plenty of water. 49 Exercise releases chemicals in your brain that naturally improve your mood. Fourth, find time to relax and do things you enjoy. 50 Whether it’s reading a book, listening to music, playing a sport, or simply taking a walk outside, make sure you have time each day to do something just for you. A. But too much stress can harm your health and happiness. B. Sometimes stress comes from not knowing what to expect. C. Writing down your feelings in a journal can also be helpful. D. Regular exercise, even just a 20-minute walk, can greatly reduce stress. E. You don’t have to deal with everything on your own. F. Different people have different ways of dealing with stress. G. This doesn’t mean spending hours watching TV or scrolling through social media. 第II卷 非选择题（55分） 五、词汇运用(共13小题；每小题1分，满分13分) 第一节 根据下列句子所给汉语注释或首字母，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。每空限填一词。 51.

My job was to help make the kids feel happy during their stay. Sounds interesting, right? 65 some people can’t understand why I chose to do it. Let me tell you the reasons why I made this choice. The 66 (one) reason was to help people have a better future. In this big world, so many people need care. Take the children in the hospital where I worked, for example. They often felt lonely facing all the difficulties, 67 (especial) when their parents had other children to care for. So, why not try to help as many people as possible? Moreover, volunteering in Africa has allowed me to 68 (feel) different parts of our planet. And I 69 (meet) people from different corners of the world. They had their own ideas, 70 (experience) and dreams. We shared amazing memories and learned 71 each other. It was really 72 (meaning) to be close to them.

It has become a new trend. Video platforms offer viewers more choices. They can watch videos at 1.25x, 1.5x or even 2x speed. People want to finish watching a movie or a TV show in less time. They want to get the key part at once. Some even use a higher speed to make the movie “perfect” in their hearts. They can skip the boring parts and only enjoy the exciting ones. However, this habit brings problems. When people watch videos at a faster speed, they may miss the important messages. They can’t understand the true meaning of the movie. They lose the fun of enjoying the whole story. According to Zhang, if someone speeds up a movie while watching, their comments on the film cannot be valid. As a result, they watch videos faster to check “watched” or “listened to” on their to-do lists, instead of enjoying the movies and songs themselves. However, people don’t realize that speeded-up content sometimes destroys their patience with life. One Chinese Internet user said, “I found myself growing impatient with tasks like research work or studying for exams, which can take hours, days, or even weeks. I’d think, ‘How can I speed this up?’ And that thought really scares me.” We already live in a fast-paced society, yet we still try to speed it up in every aspect. But at what cost? Some things should remain unhurried, such as our appreciation for beauty and the value of hard work. 74. According to the passage, what do video platforms offer viewers? 75. How do people make their movies perfect? 76. When you watch videos, would you like to watch at the normal speed or speed up the content? Why?   八、书面表达（满分25分） 时光荏苒，不觉中八年级的学习生活接近尾声。回首过去，一年来自己学习和生活上的成长与变化良多；展望未来，九年级机遇与挑战并存，但心中依然憧憬无限。你校八年级同学将以“My growth and changes”为题举行演讲比赛，请根据征稿内容写一篇短文，具体内容如下： 注意： 1. 内容需覆盖所有要点，结构清晰，语句通顺； 2. 词数100左右，文中不得出现真实人名、校名。 3. 文章开头已给出，不计入总词数。 My growth and changes Hello, everyone!

The book mainly tells his four unbelievable journeys to magical and imaginary countries, full of surprises and fun. On his first voyage, a terrible storm destroys his ship. Gulliver swims to safety and wakes up in Lilliput, a land of tiny people who are just six inches tall. He is caught and tied tightly with thousands of small ropes. Later, he uses his big size to help the Lilliputians win a war against their enemy island, becoming their hero at first. Next, he is left on a strange island during his second trip and arrives in Brobdingnag, the land of giants. The giants are as tall as mountains! Gulliver becomes a little “living toy” for them. He meets many dangers: he is almost eaten by a huge cat and has to fight terrible small animals. In his third journey, he visits several weird islands. One island is run by silly scientists who only care about useless experiments and can’t take care of their daily lives. Finally, he reaches the land of the Houyhnhnms.

Since September 2024, the school has carried out a garbage sorting activity to teach students about environmental protection and sustainable development (可持续发展). The school has put different colored garbage bins in every classroom and on the playground. Green bins are for kitchen waste, blue for recyclable waste, red for harmful waste, and grey for other waste. The teachers teach students how to sort different kinds of garbage and why it’s important. For example, recyclable waste like paper and plastic can be made into new things, and harmful waste like batteries can pollute the earth if not sorted properly. To make the activity more interesting, the school holds a garbage sorting competition every month. Students need to sort different kinds of garbage quickly and correctly. The winning class gets a small prize, like a green plant or a book about the environment. Many students said the competition makes them remember the sorting rules better. So far, the school’s garbage sorting activity has been very successful. The amount of recyclable waste has increased by 40%, and the amount of harmful waste has been sorted correctly by over 90%. The headmaster said, “Garbage sorting is a small thing, but it’s a big step for environmental protection.

Stress is a normal part of life, especially for teenagers who have to deal with schoolwork, friendships, and family expectations. A little stress can actually be helpful—it can motivate you to study for a test or prepare for a big event. 46 So how can you manage stress in a healthy way? Here are some suggestions. First, identify what is causing your stress. Is it a difficult subject at school? A problem with a friend? 47 Once you know what the problem is, you can start to think about solutions. Second, talk to someone you trust. Keeping your feelings bottled up inside can make stress worse. 48 Sharing your worries with a parent, a teacher, or a good friend can make them feel less overwhelming. Sometimes, just saying things out loud helps you see them more clearly. Third, take care of your body. Your physical health and mental health are closely connected. Make sure you’re getting enough sleep—teenagers need about 8 to 10 hours a night. Eat healthy foods and drink plenty of water. 49 Exercise releases chemicals in your brain that naturally improve your mood. Fourth, find time to relax and do things you enjoy. 50 Whether it’s reading a book, listening to music, playing a sport, or simply taking a walk outside, make sure you have time each day to do something just for you. A. But too much stress can harm your health and happiness. B. Sometimes stress comes from not knowing what to expect. C. Writing down your feelings in a journal can also be helpful. D. Regular exercise, even just a 20-minute walk, can greatly reduce stress. E. You don’t have to deal with everything on your own. F. Different people have different ways of dealing with stress. G. This doesn’t mean spending hours watching TV or scrolling through social media. 第II卷 非选择题（55分） 五、词汇运用(共13小题；每小题1分，满分13分) 第一节 根据下列句子所给汉语注释或首字母，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。每空限填一词。 51.

It has become a new trend. Video platforms offer viewers more choices. They can watch videos at 1.25x, 1.5x or even 2x speed. People want to finish watching a movie or a TV show in less time. They want to get the key part at once. Some even use a higher speed to make the movie “perfect” in their hearts. They can skip the boring parts and only enjoy the exciting ones. However, this habit brings problems. When people watch videos at a faster speed, they may miss the important messages. They can’t understand the true meaning of the movie. They lose the fun of enjoying the whole story. According to Zhang, if someone speeds up a movie while watching, their comments on the film cannot be valid. As a result, they watch videos faster to check “watched” or “listened to” on their to-do lists, instead of enjoying the movies and songs themselves. However, people don’t realize that speeded-up content sometimes destroys their patience with life. One Chinese Internet user said, “I found myself growing impatient with tasks like research work or studying for exams, which can take hours, days, or even weeks. I’d think, ‘How can I speed this up?’ And that thought really scares me.” We already live in a fast-paced society, yet we still try to speed it up in every aspect. But at what cost? Some things should remain unhurried, such as our appreciation for beauty and the value of hard work. 74. According to the passage, what do video platforms offer viewers? 75. How do people make their movies perfect? 76. When you watch videos, would you like to watch at the normal speed or speed up the content? Why?   八、书面表达（满分25分） 时光荏苒，不觉中八年级的学习生活接近尾声。回首过去，一年来自己学习和生活上的成长与变化良多；展望未来，九年级机遇与挑战并存，但心中依然憧憬无限。你校八年级同学将以“My growth and changes”为题举行演讲比赛，请根据征稿内容写一篇短文，具体内容如下： 注意： 1. 内容需覆盖所有要点，结构清晰，语句通顺； 2. 词数100左右，文中不得出现真实人名、校名。 3. 文章开头已给出，不计入总词数。 My growth and changes Hello, everyone!
