She would tell her teacher how thankful she was if she had a chance. 4 she lost the chance forever. This made me think a lot, especially when I’m 5 kilometres away from home. I am writing you this letter to let you know how much I love you. When I was 3 years old, you held my hand and counted steps with me. I also remember that in our small flat, you read quietly 6 your desk and I played with my toys on the bed nearby. On cool autumn mornings, we walked along the street, 7 about something interesting and laughing together. My childhood was full of these warm memories. Time flies! But you have been always by my side. 8 I won the swimming prize, you were proud of me. When I failed my maths exam, you said I would do it 9 the next time. Your words told me what I should do with all my difficulties. Now when I have problems, I always think of your words.

They can bring warmth to people. When you smile, others around you will feel 1 . In our daily life, we may meet different situations. For example, when you fail an exam, a smile from your friend can make you 2 better. It shows that they care about you. 3 you help an old man cross the road, he may smile at you. That smile means thanks. Smiles are also important in making friends. If you want to make new friends, start with a smile. A smile on your face tells others, “I’m friendly. Let’s be friends.” It’s easier for people to 4 with a smiling face. Doctors say that smiling is good for our health. When we smile, our body releases (释放) happy hormones (荷尔蒙). These hormones can help us 5 stress. So even if we are sad, trying to smile can make us feel better. 6 , not everyone is good at showing smiles. Some people are too shy. But remember, smiling is a language that everyone can understand. 7 you smile, the more friendly you will seem. Let’s try to smile more often. 8 a smile, we can make the world a better place.

A 【导语】本文阐述了微笑的力量——能传递快乐、帮助交友、有益健康，并鼓励人们多微笑，因为微笑不花成本却能带来幸福。 1. 句意：当你微笑时，周围的人会感到开心。 面对微笑，他人应感到“快乐”，与“微笑带来温暖”一致。happy符合。sad“悲伤”、angry“生气”、tired“疲惫”均与积极语境矛盾。 2. 句意：当你考试失利时，朋友的一个微笑能让你心情好起来。 固定搭配make sb. do sth.“使某人做某事”，后接动词原形，feel正确。 3. 句意：当你帮助老人过马路时，他可能会对你微笑。 两个动作同时发生，用When“当……时”引导时间状语。Though表转折、Before表先后、Until表“直到”，逻辑均不匹配。 4. 句意：人们带着微笑更容易交谈交友。 “与某人交谈”为talk with sb.。with a smiling face提示搭配。say to侧重说内容、talk about谈论某事、say需接宾语，均不适用。 5. 句意：这些荷尔蒙可以帮助我们缓解压力。 固定搭配help sb. with sth.“在……方面帮助某人”。with stress正确。for/about/at均无此用法。 6. 句意：然而，并不是每个人都擅长微笑。 上文讲微笑的好处，下文转折指出有些人害羞。However“然而”表转折且常用逗号隔开。But虽可表转折但通常直接连接句子，此处有逗号，However更佳。So表因果、Because表原因，均不符。 7. 句意：你笑得越多，你看起来就越友好。 “越……越……”句型为The more...the more...。The more you smile正确。More单独使用错误，The less和Less表相反意思。 8. 句意：带着微笑，我们能让世界变得更美好。 “通过/带着微笑”用With a smile。Without“没有”意思相反，For与From均不搭配。 9. 句意：微笑无需付出任何代价，却意义非凡。 前后转折，强调不花钱但价值高。cost nothing“不花一文”。something“一些东西”、anything“任何东西”、everything“一切”均不合逻辑。 10. 句意：当你对生活微笑时，会发现生活充满了幸福。 介词of后需接名词。happiness“幸福”正确。happy（形容词）、happily（副词）、happier（比较级）均词性不符。 Passage 8 阅读短文，掌握大意，从A、B、C、D中选出最佳选项。 Unit6 teaches us about cross‑cultural communication, while Unit7 tells us the importance of reading good books. Different countries have different greeting 1 . In China, people usually shake hands or smile. In Japan, people bow. In some Western countries, people hug or kiss cheeks.

Many years later, the world would know this boy as Mark Twain. Mark Twain is one of the greatest US writers of all time. Some people even call him the father of American literature. Like many US writers of his day, Twain had little school education. As a teenager, he worked as a printer. Later, he worked as a riverboat pilot, miner and freelancer for newspapers. These experiences gave him wonderful writing material. Mark Twain is considered the greatest humorist of his age. His jokes go to the roots of human nature. In 1873, Twain released a book called The Gilded Age. The book made fun of the very wealthy people of the time. Besides humor, Twain developed a unique writing style that was very American. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885 in the US) describes the adventures of a boy, Huck Finn, and a black slave, Jim. Twain used dialects in the novel, making the character’s speech sound like real Americans: using local dialects, newly invented words, and regional accents. Twain’s writing style has influenced many writers. “All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn,” Ernest Hemingway wrote in 1935. In 1910, Twain died of heart disease. But his brilliance keeps on shining to this day. 1. Mark Twain was born in ________. A．1835 B．1873 C．the UK D．1885 2.

Running is one of the most common sports. It mainly improves our heart and leg muscles. If you keep jogging 30 minutes every morning, your blood will move faster and you won’t feel sleepy in daytime classes. However, running right after full meals is a terrible choice; it will bring stomachache easily. Swimming is called full-body sport. When you swim, nearly all parts of your body move and get exercise. It is especially suitable for students who have joint problems or easily get tired. But remember never swim alone in wild rivers or lakes without adults’ protection. It’s very dangerous. Playing badminton or table tennis is great for our eyes and arms. During the game, people need to follow the fast-moving ball all the time, which helps relax tired eyes after long-time reading. No matter what sport you choose, regular exercise can build your body and cheer up your mood. But health experts remind us: don’t do too much hard exercise when you have a fever or sore body, or your illness will get worse. 1. Running helps improve our ________. A．eyes and arms B．heart and leg muscles C．skin and hair D．teeth and stomach 2. Why can’t we run just after big meals? A．It makes us strong B．It may cause stomachache C．It helps digestion D．It saves our time 3. Swimming is good for students who ________. A．have joint trouble and feel tired easily B．want to stay up late every day C．love eating much junk food D．always skip daily sports 4.

A 4. A 5. B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了跑步、游泳、羽毛球/乒乓球等不同运动对中学生身体的不同益处，以及运动时需要注意的事项，强调选择合适运动的重要性。 【详解】1. 第二段指出：“It mainly improves our heart and leg muscles.”，直接说明跑步主要改善心脏和腿部肌肉。 2. 第二段提到：“running right after full meals is a terrible choice; it will bring stomachache easily.”，说明饭后立即跑步容易引起胃痛，因此选B。 3. 第三段明确说明：“It is especially suitable for students who have joint problems or easily get tired.”，游泳特别适合有关节问题或容易疲劳的学生。 4. 第四段指出：“people need to follow the fast-moving ball all the time, which helps relax tired eyes after long-time reading.”，打乒乓球有助于在长时间学习后放松眼睛。 5. 最后一段指出：“regular exercise can build your body and cheer up your mood.”，说明适当运动既能强身又能改善情绪。同时提醒发烧时不要做剧烈运动，由此可推断B为正确选项。 Passage 17 Volunteering is becoming more and more popular among middle school students in Hubei.

It was my first time to experience foreign culture in person, and it left me an unforgettable lesson about cultural respect. ②I lived with a local host family. On my first dinner there, I tried to be polite by picking up food for my host parents as I usually do in China. However, they looked a little surprised and gently refused my kindness. I felt confused and upset at that moment. ③Later, the camp teacher explained the reason to me. In New Zealand, people value personal independence. They prefer to choose food by themselves instead of being served by others. My polite behavior in Chinese culture was regarded as unnecessary interference in local culture. I finally understood the cultural misunderstanding. ④To solve the problem, I adjusted my behavior quickly. I stopped serving food for others and followed local dining rules. Meanwhile, I actively shared Chinese dining culture with my host family. I told them our manners show respect and care for others. They were interested and praised our warm cultural customs. ⑤During the rest of the camp, I learned more local customs and shared Chinese culture bravely. I made many new friends and realized that cultural differences are not conflicts. With communication and understanding, we can bridge cultural gaps easily. 1. How long did the writer’s cultural camp last? A．One week B．Two weeks C．One month D．Two months 2. Why did the host parents refuse the writer’s kindness?

They prefer to choose food by themselves instead of being served by others.”，他们重视个人独立，不愿被他人服务。 3. 第三段讲述作者中国式的礼貌夹菜行为，在当地文化中不被认可，结合前文当地重视个人独立、反感他人主动服务的语境，可推测“interference”意为“干涉”。 4. 全文围绕作者的新西兰交流营经历展开，记叙了作者遭遇文化误会、及时调整、交流学习的过程，并从中收获了关于文化差异的感悟与见解。 5. 第①段总起，介绍作者参加交流营、收获文化感悟；第②③④段具体讲述误会发生、原因、解决过程；第⑤段总结全文，升华主旨。文章结构为总分总，对应结构①/②③④/⑤。 Passage 19 Caka Salt Lake (茶卡盐湖) is located in Qinghai Province, China. It sits at an altitude (海拔) of about 3,059 metres and takes up an area of about 105 square kilometres. It is rich in salt with a heavy salt bed close to the lake surface. That makes the lake a main source of salt in China. When the weather is clear, the lake offers beautiful reflections (影像) of the blue sky. That is why people call it “the sky mirror”. Because of its amazing views, the lake is seen as one of the “must-go” places in China. The best time to visit it is from July to August. It is believed that breathing in the humid air with its salt content is especially good for the lungs. If you want to go on a trip to the lake, the following tips may be helpful. Don’t eat the salt in the lake directly. Wear sunglasses and a hat because of the strong ultraviolet rays (紫外线). Prepare some medicine for the weak and the elderly to deal with altitude sickness.

It can move at a speed of 96 km/h to 129 km/h. Different things can make avalanches happen suddenly. About 90% of avalanches happen because of human activities.

She would tell her teacher how thankful she was if she had a chance. 4 she lost the chance forever. This made me think a lot, especially when I’m 5 kilometres away from home.

Your words told me what I should do with all my difficulties. Now when I have problems, I always think of your words.

On the first Saturday morning, I arrived at the community center with my classmates. We were divided into small groups. My job was to help Grandma Li, an 82-year-old lady who lived alone.

Mark Twain is one of the greatest US writers of all time. Some people even call him the father of American literature. Like many US writers of his day, Twain had little school education. As a teenager, he worked as a printer. Later, he worked as a riverboat pilot, miner and freelancer for newspapers. These experiences gave him wonderful writing material. Mark Twain is considered the greatest humorist of his age. His jokes go to the roots of human nature. In 1873, Twain released a book called The Gilded Age. The book made fun of the very wealthy people of the time. Besides humor, Twain developed a unique writing style that was very American. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885 in the US) describes the adventures of a boy, Huck Finn, and a black slave, Jim. Twain used dialects in the novel, making the character’s speech sound like real Americans: using local dialects, newly invented words, and regional accents. Twain’s writing style has influenced many writers. “All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn,” Ernest Hemingway wrote in 1935. In 1910, Twain died of heart disease. But his brilliance keeps on shining to this day. 1. Mark Twain was born in ________. A．1835 B．1873 C．the UK D．1885 2.

A．heart disease B．an accident C．lung disease D．old age Passage 16 Different kinds of sports influence our body in different ways, so choosing proper exercise becomes important for middle school students’ physical development. Running is one of the most common sports. It mainly improves our heart and leg muscles. If you keep jogging 30 minutes every morning, your blood will move faster and you won’t feel sleepy in daytime classes. However, running right after full meals is a terrible choice; it will bring stomachache easily. Swimming is called full-body sport. When you swim, nearly all parts of your body move and get exercise. It is especially suitable for students who have joint problems or easily get tired. But remember never swim alone in wild rivers or lakes without adults’ protection. It’s very dangerous. Playing badminton or table tennis is great for our eyes and arms. During the game, people need to follow the fast-moving ball all the time, which helps relax tired eyes after long-time reading. No matter what sport you choose, regular exercise can build your body and cheer up your mood. But health experts remind us: don’t do too much hard exercise when you have a fever or sore body, or your illness will get worse. 1. Running helps improve our ________. A．eyes and arms B．heart and leg muscles C．skin and hair D．teeth and stomach 2. Why can’t we run just after big meals? A．It makes us strong B．It may cause stomachache C．It helps digestion D．It saves our time 3. Swimming is good for students who ________.

Playing table tennis is helpful for ________ after studying long hours. A．relaxing eyes B．putting on weight C．having a fever D．eating more food 5. What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph? A．We must take hard exercise when we fall ill B．Proper sports keep both body and mood healthy C．Swimming alone in lakes is safe for teens D．All sports are fit for people with fever Passage 17 Volunteering is becoming more and more popular among middle school students in Hubei. Many schools encourage students to take part in volunteer activities to make a difference. A survey in Hubei shows that over 70% of middle school students have taken part in volunteer work. Most of them volunteer in old people’s homes, community centers or animal shelters. They usually do volunteer work on weekends or during holidays.   Wang Yu, a Grade 8 student from Xianning, volunteers in a community every Saturday morning. She helps clean public areas, hand out leaflets about environmental protection and help old people buy daily things. She says volunteering teaches her responsibility and kindness. “When I help others, I feel happy and proud. I know my small help can make a difference,” she said. However, some students have problems in volunteering. Some don’t have enough time because of heavy schoolwork. Some don’t know what volunteer work they can do. Teachers advise students to start with small things. They can help neighbors, clean their community or give away old things. Volunteering is not only helpful to people in need but also good for students themselves. It helps them develop social skills, make more friends and understand the real world better. Making a difference starts with small volunteer actions. 1. How many middle school students in Hubei have done volunteer work? A．About half. B．Over 70%. C．Less than 30%. D．About 90%. 2. Where does Wang Yu do volunteer work? A．In an old people’s home. B．In an animal shelter. C．In a community. D．In a school. 3. What problem do some students face in volunteering? A．No money. B．No time.

D．It helps them make much money. 5. The passage mainly talks about ________ . A．volunteer work among Hubei middle school students B．different kinds of volunteer activities in China C．how to be a successful volunteer D．the importance of protecting the environment Passage 18 ①Last summer, I joined a two-week cultural exchange camp in New Zealand. It was my first time to experience foreign culture in person, and it left me an unforgettable lesson about cultural respect. ②I lived with a local host family. On my first dinner there, I tried to be polite by picking up food for my host parents as I usually do in China. However, they looked a little surprised and gently refused my kindness. I felt confused and upset at that moment. ③Later, the camp teacher explained the reason to me. In New Zealand, people value personal independence. They prefer to choose food by themselves instead of being served by others. My polite behavior in Chinese culture was regarded as unnecessary interference in local culture. I finally understood the cultural misunderstanding. ④To solve the problem, I adjusted my behavior quickly. I stopped serving food for others and followed local dining rules. Meanwhile, I actively shared Chinese dining culture with my host family. I told them our manners show respect and care for others. They were interested and praised our warm cultural customs. ⑤During the rest of the camp, I learned more local customs and shared Chinese culture bravely. I made many new friends and realized that cultural differences are not conflicts. With communication and understanding, we can bridge cultural gaps easily. 1.

It sits at an altitude (海拔) of about 3,059 metres and takes up an area of about 105 square kilometres. It is rich in salt with a heavy salt bed close to the lake surface. That makes the lake a main source of salt in China. When the weather is clear, the lake offers beautiful reflections (影像) of the blue sky. That is why people call it “the sky mirror”. Because of its amazing views, the lake is seen as one of the “must-go” places in China. The best time to visit it is from July to August. It is believed that breathing in the humid air with its salt content is especially good for the lungs. If you want to go on a trip to the lake, the following tips may be helpful. Don’t eat the salt in the lake directly. Wear sunglasses and a hat because of the strong ultraviolet rays (紫外线). Prepare some medicine for the weak and the elderly to deal with altitude sickness. When travelling to such a beautiful world of salt surrounded (环绕 ) by snowy mountains and green grassland, you will feel like you are in a fairyland (仙境).

Passage 20 An avalanche is a large amount of snow, ice and rocks moving quickly down a mountain, especially on slopes (斜坡) of 30° to 45°. It can move at a speed of 96 km/h to 129 km/h. Different things can make avalanches happen suddenly. About 90% of avalanches happen because of human activities. Earthquakes and even animals’ movements can also make them happen. Avalanches happen all year round. Most of them are small, but in high mountains, such as the Himalayas, they can be very large and dangerous. When it happens, the fast-moving snow, ice and rocks can sweep away everything on the way. They cover people alive and the snow is so heavy that they can’t breathe. Some avalanches cover all the houses and villages along the way. Once an avalanche stops, the snow becomes too hard to move. That can make people under it die of the cold. What can we do to stay safe if we want to climb snow mountains? Never start climbing when the snow begins melting (融化), especially in spring. Avalanches may happen this season at any minute. Wait for at least 2 days to start climbing after a snowstorm. Keeping quiet in the mountains is also important. And always make sure you have the right tools and know how to use them before climbing snow mountains. Also, you’d better tell someone your plan before climbing, so they can help if needed. 1.
