A survey in 2003 showed that soil loss affected about 68 percent of Fengjie’s total land area. To solve the problem, people closed coal mines and planted navel oranges instead. ♣ A navel orange industry. After years of hard work, the old “coal city” became famous for its navel orange industry. Planting navel oranges not only helps people make money, but also protects the environment. 3 Farmers also grow navel oranges in a green way. Instead of using pesticides (杀虫剂), they use light traps to catch pests. By April 2025, the area for growing oranges in Fengjie is expected to reach 383,000 mu, according to Chongqing Daily. ♣ An ancient poetic attraction. Fengjie brings poetic culture and navel orange industry to develop tourism. 4 That’s because many famous ancient poets used to travel to or live in Fengjie. 5 For example, Du Fu wrote over 400 poems in Fengjie. Today, tourists can take a boat ride to see the great river from the ancient poems of Li Bai and Du Fu, and enjoy the sweet navel oranges. A．They left many poems here. B．Fengjie has developed a lot in tourism. C．But 20 years ago, Fengjie was different. D．It is known as “the city of Chinese poetry”. E．This helped cut soil loss by over 100,000 tons. F．They look like a green blanket along the Yangtze River. 【答案】1．F 2．C 3．E 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了重庆奉节从过去的煤炭城市转变为如今的脐橙产业基地和诗歌旅游胜地的发展历程。 【详解】1．上文提到奉节山上美丽的脐橙果园，此处应进一步描述果园的景色。选项F“They look like a green blanket along the Yangtze River.（它们看起来就像长江沿岸的一条绿色毯子。）”符合语境。 2．上文提到奉节的脐橙果园美景，本段小标题“An old coal city.”及后文“It had many coal mines”和上文形成转折关系，引出奉节过去的情况。选项 C“But 20 years ago, Fengjie was different.（但 20 年前，奉节有所不同。）”承上启下，符合逻辑。 3．本段“Planting navel oranges not only helps people make money, but also protects the environment.”提示此处应具体说明脐橙产业对环境的好处。选项 E“This helped cut soil loss by over 100,000 tons.（这帮助减少了超过 10 万吨的水土流失。）”承接上文保护环境的内容，且呼应第2段提到的soil loss问题。 4．本段段“That’s because many famous ancient poets used to travel to or live in Fengjie.”提示前一句和诗人或诗歌有关。选项 D“It is known as ‘the city of Chinese poetry’.（它被称为“中华诗城”。）”与后句构成因果关系。 5．本段“For example, Du Fu wrote over 400 poems in Fengjie.”说明此处应该表示诗人留下了诗篇。选项 A“They left many poems here.（他们在这里留下了许多诗篇。）”中，“They”指代前句的“poets”，引出后文的例子。 Passage 2 (25-26八年级下·江苏省运河中学北校·期中)After years of planning, the final group of villagers from Jigkyob village, one of the highest in Xizang, have recently completed their relocation (搬迁). Last week, 143 villagers moved from their high-altitude village 4,900 meters above sea level to a new home lower down. 1 . This change provides them with better public services and a brighter future. 2 . Jigkyob is the highest village in Lhaze county. People there make a living by farming animals and working in another place. Kelsang Gyatso, a leader of Jigkyob village, said “The high altitude (海拔), cold climate, and thin air are the most serious challenges for the villagers.” Besides, heavy snow usually starts from October every year, causing traffic difficulties and making it impossible for all vehicles (车辆) to get through. 3 . This relocation project aims to provide more convenience to the community, allowing them to get important public services such as education and healthcare facilities (设施). 4 . Their houses have public services including water and electricity, and are connected to the network. They live in a place with convenient transportation and complete local facilities. The relocation project was supported by Aid-Xizang teams from Shanghai. After over a year of hard work, the first step of the project has been completed. 5 . The new houses encourage the use of clean energy and treat environment-friendly projects as more important than other things. “As a result, the quality of life and growth chances for the villagers are expected to be greatly improved,” Kelsang Gyatso said. A．The development of the village faced many challenges before B．New technology has been used in the project C．The living conditions in the new place have improved D．Their new home is at a height of 4,012 meters above sea level E．As a result, the villagers are forced (逼迫) to travel on foot F．So cutting down the use of cars can achieve (获得) environmental protection 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．E 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文讲述了西藏海拔最高村落之一吉久村的村民完成搬迁，从海拔4900米迁至海拔4012米的新家，介绍了搬迁的原因、项目意义及新生活的改善。 【详解】1．前文提到“moved from their high-altitude village 4,900 meters above sea level to a new home lower down”，后文提到“better public services”，此处应说明新家的海拔，选项D“Their new home is at a height of 4,012 meters above sea level”具体说明新家的海拔高度，与上文形成对比，衔接自然。 2．此空位于段首，后文开始介绍吉久村的高海拔、寒冷气候等挑战，选项A“The development of the village faced many challenges before”可作为本段主题句，引出下文。 3．前文“heavy snow usually starts from October every year, causing traffic difficulties and making it impossible for all vehicles (车辆) to get through”说明车辆无法通行导致的直接后果应该是村民只能步行出行，选项E“As a result, the villagers are forced (逼迫) to travel on foot”是交通困难的结果。 4．后文提到“Their houses have public services including water and electricity ... They live in a place with convenient transportation and complete local facilities.”，说明新地方的生活条件得到改善，选项C“The living conditions in the new place have improved”符合逻辑。 5．前文提到项目第一步已完成，后文提到“new houses encourage the use of clean energy”，选项B“New technology has been used in the project”对应清洁能源等环保措施，引出下文新家园的环保设计特点，符合逻辑。 Passage 3 (24-25八年级下·江苏省徐州市多校联考·期中)The Great Wall of China is a very famous place of interest.

The amazing mirror effect doesn’t come out of thin air. Three important factors (要素) make it possible. 2 The ground of the Uyuni Salt Flat is one of the flattest on Earth. The salt flat was formed when ancient lakes dried up over time. When the water of these lakes evaporated (蒸发), a thick and flat layer (层) of salt was left behind. This made the ground almost perfectly flat. Therefore, when it rains, the water doesn’t collect in water holes. 3 This is what creates the huge natural mirror. The rainfall is also very important. It can’t be a storm. Just enough rain to cover the layer of salt is perfect. If the rain is heavy, water holes will form and the mirror effect will be lost. Besides, calm weather is needed for the clear mirror effect. 4 These waves will break up the clear reflection and take away the magical wonder. People see the mirror effect during the rainy season, mainly from December to March. 5 When the water evaporates under the sun, the “mirror” is gone and the ground becomes hard, white salt again. A．What is more, the effect doesn’t last long. B．After the rain, this place looks like a mirror. C．The first and most key factor is the flat ground. D．Even a small wind can make waves on the water. E．Instead, it forms a flat and smooth layer of water on the top of the salt. F．It covers over 10,000 square kilometers and is the largest salt flat in the world. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．E 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文介绍了有“天空之镜”之称的乌尤尼盐沼，说明了它形成镜面效果的三个关键因素：平坦的地面、适量的降雨和无风的天气，以及镜面效果的季节性特点。 【详解】1．第一段引出乌尤尼盐沼“天空之镜”的称号，空后描述天地难分的景观效果，选项B“After the rain, this place looks like a mirror.”承接上文，引出描述，符合语境。 2．后文提到盐沼的地面是地球上最平坦的地方之一，选项C“The first and most key factor is the flat ground.”点明第一个关键因素是平坦的地面，引出后文对地面平坦原因的说明，逻辑通顺。 3．前文提到盐沼地面几乎完全平坦，下雨时水不会积成水坑，选项E“Instead, it forms a flat and smooth layer of water on the top of the salt.”说明水会在盐层上形成一层平坦光滑的水膜，为后文形成镜面效果做铺垫，衔接顺畅。 4．前文提到平静的天气对清晰的镜面效果很重要，后文说这些波纹会破坏清晰的反射，选项D“Even a small wind can make waves on the water.”说明即使微风也会在水面形成波纹，呼应后文对波纹影响的描述，逻辑合理。 5．前文提到人们在雨季（12月至3月）能看到镜面效果，后文说水蒸发后镜面消失，选项A“What is more, the effect doesn’t last long.”补充说明镜面效果持续时间不长，呼应后文的季节性消失，衔接自然。 Passage 3 (24-25八年级下·江苏省无锡市新城中学·期中) A Click Away from the World In the past, seeing the world meant taking long trips by plane or train. But today, the internet lets us reach faraway places from home. 1 By December 2025, China had over 1.1 billion internet users, and more than 80% of the population was online.

It felt like the whole world was celebrating together. Of course, the online world has its dangers. 4 False news and cyberbullying (网络欺凌) can cause real harm.

By April 2025, the area for growing oranges in Fengjie is expected to reach 383,000 mu, according to Chongqing Daily. ♣ An ancient poetic attraction. Fengjie brings poetic culture and navel orange industry to develop tourism. 4 That’s because many famous ancient poets used to travel to or live in Fengjie. 5 For example, Du Fu wrote over 400 poems in Fengjie. Today, tourists can take a boat ride to see the great river from the ancient poems of Li Bai and Du Fu, and enjoy the sweet navel oranges. A．They left many poems here.

This change provides them with better public services and a brighter future. 2 . Jigkyob is the highest village in Lhaze county. People there make a living by farming animals and working in another place. Kelsang Gyatso, a leader of Jigkyob village, said “The high altitude (海拔), cold climate, and thin air are the most serious challenges for the villagers.” Besides, heavy snow usually starts from October every year, causing traffic difficulties and making it impossible for all vehicles (车辆) to get through. 3 . This relocation project aims to provide more convenience to the community, allowing them to get important public services such as education and healthcare facilities (设施). 4 . Their houses have public services including water and electricity, and are connected to the network. They live in a place with convenient transportation and complete local facilities. The relocation project was supported by Aid-Xizang teams from Shanghai. After over a year of hard work, the first step of the project has been completed. 5 .

Passage 2 (24-25八年级下·江苏省盐城市鹿鸣路初级中学·期中)“Mirror of the Sky”: Uyuni Salt Flat The Uyuni Salt Flat (乌尤尼盐沼), resting in southwestern Bolivia, is known as the “Mirror (镜子) of the Sky”. 1 You can’t tell where the ground ends and where the sky begins. The amazing mirror effect doesn’t come out of thin air. Three important factors (要素) make it possible. 2 The ground of the Uyuni Salt Flat is one of the flattest on Earth. The salt flat was formed when ancient lakes dried up over time. When the water of these lakes evaporated (蒸发), a thick and flat layer (层) of salt was left behind. This made the ground almost perfectly flat. Therefore, when it rains, the water doesn’t collect in water holes. 3 This is what creates the huge natural mirror. The rainfall is also very important. It can’t be a storm. Just enough rain to cover the layer of salt is perfect. If the rain is heavy, water holes will form and the mirror effect will be lost. Besides, calm weather is needed for the clear mirror effect. 4 These waves will break up the clear reflection and take away the magical wonder. People see the mirror effect during the rainy season, mainly from December to March. 5 When the water evaporates under the sun, the “mirror” is gone and the ground becomes hard, white salt again. A．What is more, the effect doesn’t last long. B．After the rain, this place looks like a mirror. C．The first and most key factor is the flat ground. D．Even a small wind can make waves on the water. E．Instead, it forms a flat and smooth layer of water on the top of the salt. F．It covers over 10,000 square kilometers and is the largest salt flat in the world. Passage 3 (24-25八年级下·江苏省无锡市新城中学·期中) A Click Away from the World In the past, seeing the world meant taking long trips by plane or train. But today, the internet lets us reach faraway places from home. 1 By December 2025, China had over 1.1 billion internet users, and more than 80% of the population was online. The world is now truly just a click away. 2 You can “walk” through the Palace Museum in Beijing and zoom in on ancient treasures. The “Digital Dunhuang” project lets you visit the 1,400-year-old Mogao Caves online. You can move around freely and admire the beautiful wall paintings up close. Millions of people visit these virtual caves every year. The internet connects us with more than just places. 3 In 2025, over 500 million Chinese people booked travel online. During the 2026 Spring Festival, a 16-hour global live broadcast connected more than 30 cities. People shared their food, music, and traditions in real time. It felt like the whole world was celebrating together. Of course, the online world has its dangers. 4 False news and cyberbullying (网络欺凌) can cause real harm.
