Fill in the blanks with proper words My Childhood Fears As a child, I was very afraid of darkness. Perhaps it was because things looked and sounded strange to me at night.

Read the passage and answer the questions: Eating Noodles Aloud! Japan is a nation that values good manners and the qualities of being quiet. Yet, when it comes to eating noodles, Japanese people can be the loudest in the world. According to lifestyle website Grapee.jp, slurping (发出啧啧声) when eating noodles is encouraged in Japanese culture. It’s believed that taking air into your mouth can help the noodles cool down and taste better. It’s also considered to be a way to show one’s enjoyment of the dish. Sometimes, just making the noise alone seems to make the noodles more enjoyable. It was not until a new expression—“noodle harassment (骚扰)”—came out on social media that Japanese people started to realize the problem. They found that the slurping noise was making some foreign visitors uncomfortable. As a response, Japanese instant noodle maker Nissin introduced a so-called noise-canceling fork. The fork looks like an electric toothbrush. It is connected wirelessly (无线地) to a smartphone. When the person using the fork starts to slurp, the fork will send a signal to the person’s phone. Then the phone will play a more pleasant sound over the slurping noise. But is it really necessary? Dining traditions and table manners do vary. In India, people eat with their hands. They think they build a connection with the food in this way. However, people who are used to eating with forks might find it unacceptable to get their hands covered in oil or sauce. But this eating method is part of India’s culture, just like Japan’s slurping is part of its own. “So, if you are eating noodles, please slurp,” wrote a Japanese food blogger (博主). “If anyone is unhappy with you doing that, just ignore them. They’re totally missing the point.” 59. Why do Japanese slurp when they are having noodles? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 60. When did Japanese people find that the slurping noise was making some foreign visitors uncomfortable? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 61. How can the electric fork cancel out the slurping noise? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 62. It is encouraged in Indian culture to eat with forks, isn’t it? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 63. What does the underlined phrase “missing the point” in the last sentence mean? _____________________________________________________________________________________ 64. What is your opinion on the food blogger’s advice? _____________________________________________________________________________________ Ⅶ. Writing:（共14分） 65. Write at least 60 words about the topic “The challenge I overcame”. Captain King带领他的团队临危不乱，从容面对挑战，巧妙化解难题。我们的学习和生活中，时刻也会遇到挑战。David Weatherford说过：“When faced with a challenge, look for a way, not a way out.”Sean Connery还说过：“There is nothing like a challenge to bring out the best in man.”请结合自己的经历，描述你是如何克服一个挑战的，并谈谈你的体会和感悟。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 8A Test for Units Five and Six 满分：120分时长：100分钟 Part 1 Listening （第一部分听力） Ⅰ.
