Mice have an excellent sense of smell, too. Scientists have even trained them to find landmines. Scientists have discovered that even ants use smell. 2
Everyone has heard birds singing. Research has shown that many other animals use sound to communicate. 3 Usually the “gentlemen” make sounds to invite the “ladies”. Whales and elephants also use sound to communicate. These sounds can travel very far through water or the ground. However, it is not possible for humans to hear some of the sounds. They are either too low or too high for us.
4 When a cat puts its ears back, it is a bit mad. When it sits with its tail around itself, it is happy. 5 When it wags its tail and opens its mouth, it is happy. So I think my dog is happy right now.

Passage 2
(24-25八年级下·广东省广州市明珠教育集团·期末)
Do you know how people send messages to each other? Scientists say only 35% of our communication is done through spoken language. 6 It is natural for us to use our bodies to share our thoughts and feelings.
7 For example, smiling may be the easiest body language. People understand its meaning without thinking. 8 But the meanings of some body languages change from one culture to another. Most people move their heads up and down to mean “yes” and side to side to mean “no”. You may think that these have the same meanings everywhere. 9 In a country, people move their heads side to side to mean “yes”, and up and down to mean “no”.
As we have looked at some examples, there are many kinds of body languages and their meanings may change from one culture to another. 10 If we don’t understand them, we may make a mistake and send a wrong signal (信号). The best advice is to watch what other people do in their cultures and follow them.
A.Some of the ways of body language are the same all over the world.
B.It is necessary for us to understand them.
C.So it is good to smile when we meet people.

10.根据“As we have looked at some examples, there are many kinds of body languages and their meanings may change from one culture to another.”及“If we don’t understand them, we may make a mistake and send a wrong signal (信号).”可知,身体语言的含义可能会随着文化的不同而变化,因此需要学习和了解。选项B“我们有必要了解它们”符合语境。故选B。
Passage 3
(24-25八年级下·广东省广州市越秀区第七中学·期末)
Oscar Wilde once said, “Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.” Art provides a way to communicate experiences when people have difficulty expressing themselves with words. 11 Art therapy (疗法) starts from a simple idea: all people can create things and has the ability for self-expression.
12 Art therapy helps people in special ways. You don’t need to talk——just draw or paint. Even 30 minutes of art can make you feel happier. With a trained art teacher, you’ll feel much better! 13
Young children usually draw and sing and dance without worrying about their abilities. Adults, however, are often more worried about art and art making. They begin to worry about the quality of their art instead of self-expression itself. 14 However, art therapists can guide people in expressing themselves without concerning whether their artwork is technically fantastic, so that the artworks that help them deal with life challenges.
What are art therapy’s superpower? It turns bad thoughts into safe art. For example, people who are more likely to use violence (暴力) to let out their anger by hitting another human being. 15 These artistic choices satisfy the brain’s strong wish for new things without hurting personal safety.
A.It can greatly improve people’s feelings and health.
B.Art therapy, in its own ways, can make a difference to our health.
C.Art has been developed as an expressive skill for solving problems.
D.As a result, many advantages of creative self-expression are lost.
E.However, with art therapy’s help, their energy could be changed into creative products.
【答案】11.C 12.B 13.A 14.D 15.E
【导语】本文通过王尔德的名言引入艺术作为表达媒介的价值,重点阐述艺术疗法如何通过非语言创作帮助人们释放情绪、转化负面能量,并对比儿童与成人在艺术表达上的差异,强调其改善心理健康的独特作用。
11.根据“Art provides a way to communicate experiences when people have difficulty expressing themselves with words.”可知,艺术为难以用语言表达的人提供了沟通方式,选项C“艺术已发展成解决问题的表达技能”符合语境。故选C。
12.根据“Art therapy helps people in special ways. You don’t need to talk——just draw or paint.”可知,艺术疗法通过特殊方式帮助人们,无需言语只需创作,选项B“艺术疗法以其独特方式能改善我们的健康”符合语境。故选B。
13.根据“Even 30 minutes of art can make you feel happier. With a trained art teacher, you’ll feel much better!”可知,短暂艺术创作即可提升情绪,选项A“它能显著改善人们的情绪和健康”符合语境。故选A。
14.根据“Adults…begin to worry about the quality of their art instead of self-expression itself.”可知,成年人过度关注作品质量,选项D“因此,创造性自我表达的许多优势就丧失了”符合语境。故选D。
15.根据“people who are more likely to use violence (暴力)…their anger by hitting another human being.”可知,暴力倾向者通过艺术疗法转化能量,选项E“然而在艺术疗法帮助下,他们的能量可转化为创造性产物”符合语境。故选E。

Passage 4
(24-25八年级下·广东省深圳实验学校初中部·期末)
Many have heard of shark fin soup. But do you realize that you’re killing a whole shark each time you enjoy a bowl of shark fin soup?
When people catch sharks, they cut off their fins and throw the sharks back into the ocean. 16 Without a fin, a shark can no longer swim and slowly dies. Sharks are at the top of the food chain in the ocean’s ecosystem. 17 Many believe that sharks can never be endangered because they are the strongest in their food chain. 18 The numbers of some kinds of sharks have fallen by over 90 percent in the last 20 to 30 years.
Environmental protection groups around the world, such as Wild Aid and the WWF, are teaching the public about “finning”. 19 So far, no scientific studies have shown that shark fins are good for health, so why eat them? 20
A.Help save the sharks!
B.They are in great danger now.
C.This is not only cruel, but also harmful to the environment.
D.If their numbers drop too fast, it will bring danger to all ocean life.
E.They have even asked governments to develop laws to stop the sale of shark fins.

Passage 1
(24-25八年级下·广东省深圳市福田中学·期末)
Do you want to draw a cartoon of yourself? Here are some tips to help you.
Think about the shape of your face
Is your face round or oval-shaped (椭圆形)? If you have a round face, draw it even rounder and bigger 1 Then, you can move on to your eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.
Save your hair for the last step
2 In this way, you can make hair go over an eye or an ear naturally. If you draw the hair first and then your ears, they might look “floating”! This simple technique is the key to a natural-looking cartoon.
3
You know what you look like, but it’s hard to draw from memory. Use a picture of yourself. You can zoom in (放大) to discover more, like, “Oh, this is what my eyebrows look like. They are quite thick, and that’s cool.”
Show what’s special about you
Maybe you have a wide smile, or ears that are close to your head. Get these parts down in your drawing. 4 For example, a football fan might draw themselves in a favorite team’s jersey (球衣). It is your own features (特点) that make your cartoon look like you.
When finished, share your cartoon with your friends. 5
A.Make use of your recent photos.
B.Besides, your hobbies can be included.
C.This will give your face a funny effect.
D.Draw your appearance based on memory.
E.Can they tell it’s you from your drawing?
F.Draw your full face before drawing your hair.

Passage 2
(24-25八年级下·广东省深圳市新华中学·期末)
Boys and girls can’t get too close at Chengdu Yandaojie Middle School. 6 Sound interesting? Giving personal space is a kind of body language that helps us to communicate better and more comfortably.
7 It is communication with the movement or position of your body. The way you stand, a hand gesture, a big smile, these are all examples of body language.
According to American scientist Edward T. Hall, in a conversation between two people, 65 percent of communication is body language. 8 For example, your friend asks you to come on a picnic with him; you give him an “A-OK” gesture to say: “Yes, sounds good!” Sometimes, your words say one thing but your body language says another. You may touch your face unconsciously (无意识地) while telling a lie.
9 In the US, eye contact during a conversation means you are interested in what the other person is saying. While in some Asian countries, it is rude to look straight at a person when you are talking to him or her.
10 In France, people kiss cheeks to say hello. The Japanese prefer to bow and Maoris in New Zealand touch noses in greeting.
A.In some cases you can even express yourself without any words at all.
B.People in some countries use different body language to show the same meaning.
C.Standing up straight and tall makes you feel more confident.
D.The school recently ruled that the correct distance between boys and girls in public should be at least 80 centimeters.
E.In different cultures the same body language may mean different things.
F.Body language does not use words.
【答案】6.D 7.F 8.A 9.E 10.B

Passage 4
(24-25八年级下·广东省深圳市罗湖外语学校初中部·期末)
In English classes, we spend a lot of time studying grammar and learning new words. We work hard to get better with our teaching and listening skills. However, few of us pay enough attention to body language. 16
The answer is certainly “No”. As the saying goes, “A single act can show a message better than a thousand words.” 17 For example, when we shrug our shoulders (耸肩), without a word, we mean “I don’t know.”
18 For example, if someone makes you upset, you may cross your arms to show that you’re unhappy. You may turn away or raise your shoulders because they are uncomfortable with the conversation.
Body language is important in our personal lives, too. 19 Leaning forward in the conversation, for example, means you are interested in what your friends are saying. However, listening without making eye contact means you are not paying attention to or you are bored with what your friends are talking about.
So, it is very important for us to learn body language. 20 We will also have lasting friendships.
A.So does it mean that body language is not important?
B.It can show if you really care about your friends.
C.Body language can express our true inner feelings.
D.Sometimes, we can communicate things even without a word.
E.More than 70% of our messages are exchanged through body language.
F.By understanding body language, we will find it easier to understand others.
【答案】16.A 17.D 18.C 19.B 20.F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过举例和说理的方式,阐述了肢体语言在交流中的重要性,并呼吁读者重视肢体语言的学习。
16.根据下文“The answer is certainly‘No’.”可知,此处应该是一个一般疑问句,且内容与身体语言是否重要有关;选项A“那么这是否意味着肢体语言不重要呢?”符合语境。故选A。
17.根据上文“A single act can show a message better than a thousand words.”可知,一个动作比千言万语更能表达信息,所以此处是指有时候不需要言语也能交流;选项D“有时候,我们甚至不用说话就能交流。”符合语境。故选D。
18.根据下文“if someone makes you upset, you may cross your arms to show that you’re unhappy.”可知,如果有人让你心烦意乱,你可能会交叉双臂表示你不开心,所以此处是指身体语言可以表达我们内心的感受;选项C“身体语言能够表达我们真实的内心感受。”符合语境。故选C。
19.根据下文“Leaning forward in the conversation, for example, means you are interested in what your friends are saying.”可知,在谈话中身体前倾,意味着你对朋友所说的话感兴趣,所以此处是指身体语言可以显示出你对朋友的关心程度;选项B“它可以显示你是否真的关心你的朋友。”符合语境。故选B。
20.根据上文“So, it is very important for us to learn body language.”可知,学习身体语言对我们来说非常重要,所以此处应进一步说明学习身体语言的好处;选项F“通过理解身体语言,我们会发现更容易理解他人。”符合语境。故选F。

Passage 3
(24-25八年级下·广东广州增城执信学校·期末)
Can you believe Chengdu is short of water? In March 2022, the government said the city will face a serious water shortage (短缺) in 2030. Some other cities in southern China, like Shenzhen and Guangzhou, are also becoming “thirsty”. 11 So why are they still short of water?
As we know, populations are growing fast in these cities. 12 Each person in Chengdu has less than 600 m3 of water each year. It’s 1/4 of the country’s average (平均). The situation in Shenzhen is worse. It’s 1/12 of the country’s average. According to the UN, it is a “real water shortage” when it’s below 500 m3.
13 Chengdu depends on the Minjiang River as its main source (来源) of water. These years, there isn’t enough rain running into the river. The change also causes less snow in the mountains. They might provide less water in the future.
There are other reasons for water shortages. For example, water pollution makes it harder to get clean drinking water. 14 Some cities have enough rainfall, but don’t have big lakes or reservoirs (水库) to store water. The water just goes into the sea.
March 22 is World Water Day. This year, the key point is “groundwater”. We can’t see groundwater. It’s under our feet. 15 About 98 percent of Earth’s fresh water is groundwater. But in many places, people pollute groundwater.
A.But it plays an important role in our lives.
B.Factories and farms don’t use water in the right way.
C.So people and factories need more and more water.
D.Climate (气候) change is making the water problem worse.
E.The government said the city was facing its most serious water shortage ever.
F.Compared with northern areas, southern areas have more rain and are closer to more rivers and lakes.
【答案】11.F 12.C 13.D 14.B 15.A
【导语】本文主要介绍了全国各地都面临着水资源短缺的问题。

12.根据“As we know, populations are growing fast in these cities.”可知这些城市人口增长快,所以水的需求量增加,选项C“因此,人们和工厂需要越来越多的水”符合语境。故选C。
13.根据“Chengdu depends on the Minjiang River as its main source (来源) of water. These years, there isn’t enough rain running into the river. The change also causes less snow in the mountains. They might provide less water in the future.”可知成都依赖岷江作为主要水源,这些年没有足够的雨水流入河中,气候变化还导致山上雪量减少,未来可能提供更少的水,选项D“气候变化使水资源问题更加严重”符合语境。故选D。
14.根据“Some cities have enough rainfall, but don’t have big lakes or reservoirs (水库) to store water. The water just goes into the sea.”可知一些城市有足够的降雨量,但没有大湖或水库来储存水,所以人们没有正确用水,选项B“工厂和农场没有以正确的方式用水”符合语境。故选B。
15.根据“About 98 percent of Earth’s fresh water is groundwater.”可知地球上约98%的淡水是地下水,所以地下水很重要,选项A“但它在我们的生活中起着重要作用”符合语境。故选A。

Passage 1
(24-25八年级下·广东省广州市南沙实验学校·期末)
People have always been interested in animal communication and scientists have done a lot of researches on this subject.
Most animals communicate by smell. Dogs are famous for this. 1 Dogs have helped the police for a long time, too. They can find missing people by using their fantastic sense of smell. Mice have an excellent sense of smell, too. Scientists have even trained them to find landmines. Scientists have discovered that even ants use smell. 2
Everyone has heard birds singing. Research has shown that many other animals use sound to communicate. 3 Usually the “gentlemen” make sounds to invite the “ladies”. Whales and elephants also use sound to communicate. These sounds can travel very far through water or the ground. However, it is not possible for humans to hear some of the sounds. They are either too low or too high for us.
4 When a cat puts its ears back, it is a bit mad. When it sits with its tail around itself, it is happy. 5 When it wags its tail and opens its mouth, it is happy. So I think my dog is happy right now.
A.Frogs and insects communicate with sounds.
B.When a dog puts its tail under its body, it is scared.
C.They use smell to tell other ants where the food is.
D.When a dog walks outside, it learns about other dogs by smelling things.
E.Animals have always used body language to communicate as well.
Passage 2
(24-25八年级下·广东省广州市明珠教育集团·期末)
Do you know how people send messages to each other? Scientists say only 35% of our communication is done through spoken language. 6 It is natural for us to use our bodies to share our thoughts and feelings.
7 For example, smiling may be the easiest body language. People understand its meaning without thinking. 8 But the meanings of some body languages change from one culture to another. Most people move their heads up and down to mean “yes” and side to side to mean “no”. You may think that these have the same meanings everywhere. 9 In a country, people move their heads side to side to mean “yes”, and up and down to mean “no”.
As we have looked at some examples, there are many kinds of body languages and their meanings may change from one culture to another. 10 If we don’t understand them, we may make a mistake and send a wrong signal (信号). The best advice is to watch what other people do in their cultures and follow them.
A.Some of the ways of body language are the same all over the world.
B.It is necessary for us to understand them.
C.So it is good to smile when we meet people.
D.The other 65% is done through “body language”.
E.However, they have the opposite meanings.
Passage 3
(24-25八年级下·广东省广州市越秀区第七中学·期末)
Oscar Wilde once said, “Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.” Art provides a way to communicate experiences when people have difficulty expressing themselves with words. 11 Art therapy (疗法) starts from a simple idea: all people can create things and has the ability for self-expression.
12 Art therapy helps people in special ways. You don’t need to talk——just draw or paint. Even 30 minutes of art can make you feel happier. With a trained art teacher, you’ll feel much better! 13
Young children usually draw and sing and dance without worrying about their abilities. Adults, however, are often more worried about art and art making. They begin to worry about the quality of their art instead of self-expression itself. 14 However, art therapists can guide people in expressing themselves without concerning whether their artwork is technically fantastic, so that the artworks that help them deal with life challenges.
What are art therapy’s superpower? It turns bad thoughts into safe art. For example, people who are more likely to use violence (暴力) to let out their anger by hitting another human being. 15 These artistic choices satisfy the brain’s strong wish for new things without hurting personal safety.
A.It can greatly improve people’s feelings and health.
B.Art therapy, in its own ways, can make a difference to our health.
C.Art has been developed as an expressive skill for solving problems.
D.As a result, many advantages of creative self-expression are lost.
E.However, with art therapy’s help, their energy could be changed into creative products.

Lanterns(灯笼)have been part of Chinese culture for centuries and played an important part in many celebrations. In ancient times, there were mainly three kinds of lanterns:
Palace lantern
When making palace lanterns, fine wood was used. The palace lanterns were covered with silk or glass. Different kinds of pictures were drawn on the covers. 16 These lanterns were used not only to make the palaces bright, but also to make them beautiful.
Gauze(纱)lantern
Less expensive bamboo and gauze were used to cover the lantern. Red gauze was used when making them. 17 So red lanterns are always hung on important festivals such as Lantern Festival, Spring Festival and National Day in parks along main streets. In some famous Chinatowns abroad, you can see red lanterns all the year round. 18
Shadow-picture lantern(走马灯)
It was usually used for fun. 19 But there were two layers(层)of covers and pictures were drawn on the inside layer. When the candle was lit, the heat caused a paper wheel inside the lantern to turn around, so that moving pictures appeared on the outside cover.
Now more kinds of lanterns appear in festivals besides the traditional ones. More modern technology is used to make lanterns. 20
A.In Chinese culture, red colour is a symbol of happiness.
B.So the shapes of the modern lanterns have changed a lot, too.
C.They were mainly used in palaces in ancient times.
D.The shape was much like that of the palace lanterns.
E.They have become a symbol of Chinese culture.

The Amazon Rainforest is a large jungle in Brazil. Thick trees and plants cover the land. 1 It is also a place where many animals live and bring up their babies.
2 One such animal is the jaguar. Jaguars are powerful killers. They are the biggest cats in the Americas and can catch big animals like deer! Poison dart frogs (毒箭蛙) also live in the Amazon. 3 Their bright colors warn other animals that their skin is poisonous.
4 Even though jaguars and poison dart frogs have special skills to live, they have the biggest danger—humans. The Amazon Rainforest is getting smaller fast. Farmers cut down trees to make room for crops, and people destroy large areas to sell wood. 5 Scientists warn that losing the Amazon could also change the world’s climate. Many people are fighting to protect the forest, but there is not much time left—both for the animals and for us.
A.However, these animals are in trouble.
B.Like jaguars, these tiny frogs can be deadly.
C.If this continues, thousands of animals could lose their homes forever.
D.The Amazon is very important because it makes lots of the world’s oxygen.
E.Since dangerous animals live in the Amazon, people must be careful when exploring the forest.

We all want to protect our planet, but we’re mostly too busy or too lazy to improve our lifestyle and save the environment. Everyone should try their best to protect the environment. 6

8 Driving is one of the biggest causes of pollution. If you want to use your car, ask yourself the following question: Do you really need your car? Walk or use your bike if the journey is a short one.
Use energy-saving light bulbs. It is true that these bulbs are more expensive. 9 In the long term your electricity bill would be reduced.
Donate. If you have any spare and usable clothes or things, give them to someone in need. 10 These groups may sell them and collect a little money. You will not only protect the environment, but also do some good.

Passage 3
(24-25八年级下·广东省广州市华南师范大学附属中学·期末)
Imagine a world with no more wild animals: no elephants, no tigers or lions. To some people, it’s too terrible to imagine a world like this. 11 Amy is one of them.
Staying with wild animals—feeding them—and taking care of them is all Amy has wanted to do in her life. 12
Amy is the human “mother” to the 500 animals that live on her family wildlife farm in San Antonio, Texas. On the farm, she takes care of animals from all over the world. Amy says she loves them all. 13 Their population in the wild has decreased by 80% in the last 15 years. “I’m so glad to get help from five wildlife experts that took giraffes up to a higher level. All our hard work helps protect giraffes living in the wild.”
Besides her animal caring, Amy also holds monthly classes where she teaches school children about the animals.
14 Visitors not only learn about the animals, they can also get close to them. And the animals are not against that. For them, people are part of their natural environment.
15 As the animals walk freely and safely around the grounds, it is easy to forget that San Antonio, a busy city, is just a few minutes away.
A.And that is exactly what she does!
B.So they are doing something about it.
C.The farm works as a nature reserve, an educational center and an animal park.
D.Amy also opens the farm to the public.
E.However, two giraffes take up a special place in her heart.
Passage 4
(24-25八年级下·广东省深圳实验学校初中部·期末)
Many have heard of shark fin soup. But do you realize that you’re killing a whole shark each time you enjoy a bowl of shark fin soup?
When people catch sharks, they cut off their fins and throw the sharks back into the ocean. 16 Without a fin, a shark can no longer swim and slowly dies. Sharks are at the top of the food chain in the ocean’s ecosystem. 17 Many believe that sharks can never be endangered because they are the strongest in their food chain. 18 The numbers of some kinds of sharks have fallen by over 90 percent in the last 20 to 30 years.
Environmental protection groups around the world, such as Wild Aid and the WWF, are teaching the public about “finning”. 19 So far, no scientific studies have shown that shark fins are good for health, so why eat them? 20
A.Help save the sharks!
B.They are in great danger now.
C.This is not only cruel, but also harmful to the environment.
D.If their numbers drop too fast, it will bring danger to all ocean life.
E.They have even asked governments to develop laws to stop the sale of shark fins.
F.But in fact, around 70 million sharks are caught and traded in this industry every year.

Do you want to draw a cartoon of yourself? Here are some tips to help you.
Think about the shape of your face
Is your face round or oval-shaped (椭圆形)? If you have a round face, draw it even rounder and bigger 1 Then, you can move on to your eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.
Save your hair for the last step
2 In this way, you can make hair go over an eye or an ear naturally. If you draw the hair first and then your ears, they might look “floating”! This simple technique is the key to a natural-looking cartoon.
3
You know what you look like, but it’s hard to draw from memory. Use a picture of yourself. You can zoom in (放大) to discover more, like, “Oh, this is what my eyebrows look like. They are quite thick, and that’s cool.”
Show what’s special about you
Maybe you have a wide smile, or ears that are close to your head. Get these parts down in your drawing. 4 For example, a football fan might draw themselves in a favorite team’s jersey (球衣). It is your own features (特点) that make your cartoon look like you.
When finished, share your cartoon with your friends. 5
A.Make use of your recent photos.
B.Besides, your hobbies can be included.
C.This will give your face a funny effect.
D.Draw your appearance based on memory.

When you’re meeting someone for the first time, how to make a good impression? 1
Shake hands confidently
Weak handshakes can make you seem not confident at all. You won’t leave a good impression on anyone by hurting them. 2 As you shake the person’s hand, make eye contact with him to show you’re sure of yourself and interested in meeting him.
Keep eye contact
By keeping eye contact with the person you’re talking to, you’re letting him or her know that you re paying attention to what he or she is saying. Whenever there is a natural break in the conversation, feel free to have a look at something else. 3
Keep your hands still(静止的)
4 Try to keep your hands still, avoid touching your hair or adjusting with your clothes, which shows you are afraid or not confident.

Passage 2
(24-25八年级下·广东省深圳市新华中学·期末)
Boys and girls can’t get too close at Chengdu Yandaojie Middle School. 6 Sound interesting? Giving personal space is a kind of body language that helps us to communicate better and more comfortably.
7 It is communication with the movement or position of your body. The way you stand, a hand gesture, a big smile, these are all examples of body language.
According to American scientist Edward T. Hall, in a conversation between two people, 65 percent of communication is body language. 8 For example, your friend asks you to come on a picnic with him; you give him an “A-OK” gesture to say: “Yes, sounds good!” Sometimes, your words say one thing but your body language says another. You may touch your face unconsciously (无意识地) while telling a lie.
9 In the US, eye contact during a conversation means you are interested in what the other person is saying. While in some Asian countries, it is rude to look straight at a person when you are talking to him or her.
10 In France, people kiss cheeks to say hello. The Japanese prefer to bow and Maoris in New Zealand touch noses in greeting.
A.In some cases you can even express yourself without any words at all.
B.People in some countries use different body language to show the same meaning.
C.Standing up straight and tall makes you feel more confident.
D.The school recently ruled that the correct distance between boys and girls in public should be at least 80 centimeters.
E.In different cultures the same body language may mean different things.
F.Body language does not use words.
Passage 3
(24-25八年级下·广东省广州市花雅实验学校·期末)
Understanding body language can help you communicate better in any situation. 11
*It makes a better first impression. 12 Using positive body language can help show people you’re sincere, warm and trustworthy.
*It improves public speaking. Body language can be used to hide feelings of nervousness. 13
*It helps you stand out at job interviews. 14 Body language can help you do that, because it can help you appear relaxed, attractive and interested in a stressful situation like a job interview.
* 15 Whether you’re questioning or praising a classmate’s performance, your body language should reflect your words. If it doesn’t, your classmate could be confused about what you really want to say.
A.At last, it enables you to judge other’s performance with balance.
B.Better building a close relationship with the interviewer is important.
C.Someone’s first impression of you can make him remember you forever.
D.You can also use it to show confidence and hold the attention of audience.
E.Here are some examples of awareness of body language that can benefit you.
Passage 4
(24-25八年级下·广东省深圳市罗湖外语学校初中部·期末)
In English classes, we spend a lot of time studying grammar and learning new words. We work hard to get better with our teaching and listening skills. However, few of us pay enough attention to body language. 16
The answer is certainly “No”. As the saying goes, “A single act can show a message better than a thousand words.” 17 For example, when we shrug our shoulders (耸肩), without a word, we mean “I don’t know.”
18 For example, if someone makes you upset, you may cross your arms to show that you’re unhappy. You may turn away or raise your shoulders because they are uncomfortable with the conversation.
Body language is important in our personal lives, too. 19 Leaning forward in the conversation, for example, means you are interested in what your friends are saying. However, listening without making eye contact means you are not paying attention to or you are bored with what your friends are talking about.
So, it is very important for us to learn body language. 20 We will also have lasting friendships.
A.So does it mean that body language is not important?
B.It can show if you really care about your friends.
C.Body language can express our true inner feelings.
D.Sometimes, we can communicate things even without a word.
E.More than 70% of our messages are exchanged through body language.
F.By understanding body language, we will find it easier to understand others.

Yu Yuan, 27, is attracted by this idea. She and her boyfriend used to buy something unwanted until she saw a video about “zero-waste”. 3 She had a deep impression.
4 They tried to follow the six rules. She started making her own toothpaste and taking reusable bags shopping. Step by step, she made small changes. From August to October, she and her boyfriend Joe Harvey both produced only two cans of rubbish.

Passage 2
(24-25八年级下·广东省广州市第二中学·期末)
While studying a map of China, have you ever noticed the Mu Us Desert in the northwest? If you haven’t, then you probably never will. 6
You might wonder: Why is this happening? Who is the “killer”? Well, this is not a murder story. It is the result of years of afforestation(造林)efforts.
The Mu Us used to be one of the largest deserts in China. Sandstorms were common in northern Shaanxi. 7
The fight against desertification began in the 1970s. The work has more than tiring. He Li’e led an afforestation team in Yulin, Shaanxi. They once spent an entire afternoon planting trees under a burning sun. 8 Crying was useless. The next day, the team replanted all the trees.
9 One of them is Guo Chengwant. With encouragement from the government, in 1985, he started to plant trees in his village. Guo is now in his nineties. His children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren have continued the job. 10 These trees have made a big difference. In Yulin, the number of sandy days has dropped from 100 in 2000 to 10 now. With thousands of people’s efforts, the Mu Us Desert will be gone. Our motherland is becoming greener and lovelier.
A.The family has turned 30 square kilometers of desert into woods.

(24-25八年级下·广东广州增城执信学校·期末)
Can you believe Chengdu is short of water? In March 2022, the government said the city will face a serious water shortage (短缺) in 2030. Some other cities in southern China, like Shenzhen and Guangzhou, are also becoming “thirsty”. 11 So why are they still short of water?
As we know, populations are growing fast in these cities. 12 Each person in Chengdu has less than 600 m3 of water each year. It’s 1/4 of the country’s average (平均). The situation in Shenzhen is worse. It’s 1/12 of the country’s average. According to the UN, it is a “real water shortage” when it’s below 500 m3.
13 Chengdu depends on the Minjiang River as its main source (来源) of water. These years, there isn’t enough rain running into the river. The change also causes less snow in the mountains. They might provide less water in the future.
There are other reasons for water shortages. For example, water pollution makes it harder to get clean drinking water. 14 Some cities have enough rainfall, but don’t have big lakes or reservoirs (水库) to store water. The water just goes into the sea.
March 22 is World Water Day. This year, the key point is “groundwater”. We can’t see groundwater. It’s under our feet. 15 About 98 percent of Earth’s fresh water is groundwater. But in many places, people pollute groundwater.
A.But it plays an important role in our lives.
B.Factories and farms don’t use water in the right way.
C.So people and factories need more and more water.
D.Climate (气候) change is making the water problem worse.
E.The government said the city was facing its most serious water shortage ever.
F.Compared with northern areas, southern areas have more rain and are closer to more rivers and lakes.
Passage 4

Do you like pandas? They were endangered in the past. During the past years, China has been trying hard to protect them. 16 . So the government built 52 protection areas for them. In these areas, trees and bamboos grow well, which provides pandas with proper places to live and enough food to eat.
In 1980, the Chinese government set up China Conservation and Research Centre(中国保护和研究中心) for the giant panda. The centre educate people about protecting pandas and does research to help save them. 17 What’s more, the Chinese government made some rules to stop pandas from being hunted.
In the 1970s, there were just 1,114 pandas in the world. 18 The panda has not been organized animals since September 2016. However, there is still a long way to go to protect pandas.
19 It was once mainly in east China, Japan, Russia and South Korea. But later, people thought the crested ibis(朱鹮) died out. However, in 1981, people found seven crested ibises in Shanxi Province. 20 Now, the number of them has reached 2,000 in China because of our hard work.
A.They started to save the birds.
