It’s unreal. I’m so happy that I can make history for China’s tennis, because I always wanted to be one of the athletes (运动员) who can get a medal for China. Finally, I made it,” Zheng said during an interview after the final game. “I did everything I could. This is not a victory for myself, but a fight for China’s honor. I think my country will be proud of me, and I feel proud of myself.” When talking about her difficult way to success, Zheng said, “I just put my whole heart into every single match and fought hard, and there were two matches that I almost lost on my way to the final, especially 0-4 down in the second set against Iga Swiatek in the semifinal (半决赛). I felt the energy of all the support knowing that I played for my country. I just never gave up and tried my best.” Even with no ranking (排位) points on offer, nor prize money given, the Olympic gold will always hold a special place in Eheng’s heart, and will encourage her to achieve further success. “My parents always treat the Olympic Games more importantly than any of the other games, myself as well. You can see it in my eyes. The hunger I had this week was different than in all the other games I played,” said Zheng. As world No. 7, Zheng is now China’s highest-ranked female tennis player. Because of her attacking (进攻) style on court and some similarity with the pronunciation of her given name, Zheng’s international fans call her “Queen Wen”. Zheng said that after her Olympic victory, she is confident she will live up to their expectations. “Before this, I would have been modest (谦虚的) and said, ‘Oh, don’t call me that.’ But now, I can gladly accept it,” she said with a big smile. 65.

The child suddenly drops the string (线) and lets the kite fly high up in the sky. With joy in his eyes, the child watches it climb until it disappears in the distance. Right then, the father realizes that someday he will have to loosen (松开) the string that ties him to his son, too. But he also wonders, “Will I release the string as unselfishly as that?” Years later, my son, Frank, said seriously that he wouldn’t finish his college. I tried to talk him out of it. But none of my reasoning made any difference. At the end of the term, Frank moved back home. Frank managed to find a job at a nursery, and enjoyed staying with lots of children every day. I, however, was deeply disappointed (失望). What was a college professor’s son doing at a job that any high school dropout could do? ★ “Look!” I said, “In a few years, you will meet your high school classmates. They may become lawyers, doctors and engineers. Do you think you will be able to deal with that?” “Yes. Dad!” he replied quickly. Then he fixed his eyes on mine and said, “But the real question is: Can you?” I had nothing to say and just looked at him--I wasn’t thinking about my son while I was thinking about myself and what my friends would think. The problem wasn’t Frank’s pride (自尊心) . It was mine. All at once, I remembered my poem and the question –--“Will I release the string as unselfishly as that?” At that moment, I knew I had to let go. Frank was old enough to make his own choices. Today, Frank is very successful. I am very proud of whom he has become. Since I let go of my pride, I have been able to sit back and enjoy watching him fly high. 65. What would be the best title for the passage? A. The Real Problem B. Let Him Go C. Your Pride Works D. The String in Your Hand 3.【2024-2025武珞路八上期中】 B 难度系数 ★★★★ I ran into the forest to my favorite place and sat down on my special rock. I knew no one could find me. At last I had peace and quiet. I lifted my guitar and began to play. “Hi, Desha!” Shocked, I found my brother James standing behind me. “Don’t you have a basketball game to watch?” I complained. “The game was almost over when I noticed you left. I thought you might like some company (陪伴).” “Company is the last thing I want. Can’t I have a little peace and quiet?” James studied me for a minute. “It’s hard having such a big family, isn’t it?” “Eliza’s always prying into my personal life. Yesterday I found her looking through my diary. Now everyone is in the living room watching the game. All I wanted to do was to watch a movie, but when I went to my room. Sara was there listening to the radio. I just want to be alone for a change.” James sighed and said. “I felt the same way when I was your age. But now. . .” “Now you have your own room. After Daniel went off to college, you didn’t have to share anymore.” James smiled. “It is great to have my own room, but sometimes I really miss Daniel. We used to talk about everything—sports, school, friends. Although sometimes it seemed crowded, it was comforting to have someone else there.” “Yeah, ‘crowded’ is right.” I said. “I know,” James said. “But there are some good things that come out of it—we share memories and jokes no one else understands, and we can support one another in face of difficulties.” I sighed. “Didn’t Sara stay up half the night with you last week helping you with your homework?” James asked. I admitted (承认) unwillingly, “ Yeah, sometimes she is all right.” “This place can be your ‘room’. Anytime you need peace and quiet, just come here.” James said, pointing at a rock. I was surprised to see James’ name there! James smiled, “This is a great place for getting away.” Leaning (倚靠) to my brother’s shoulder, I thought. “Maybe family is not bad.” 64. What can we learn from the story? A. Nobody cared about Desha in her family. B. Desha wanted her brother’s company at first. C. Desha found it difficult to have peace and quiet at home. D. Desha enjoyed communicating with her family members. 综合填空【2024-2025武珞路八上期中】 六、综合填空 (共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分) 难度系数 ★★★ When cultures meet, not just their language or clothing may be different.

Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction. A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert, so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest. Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area. Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet. However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals. 59. What are people advised to do according to the last paragraph? A. To help animals. B. To travel at night. C. To keep city lights on. D. To develop unusual abilities. 2. 【2024~2025青山区八上期中】 B These days, a video (视频) about the play Thunderstorm ( 《雷雨》) gets very popular online.

They might not eat meals or eat too little. Those can make them feel uncomfortable. Is it a healthy way to live? Also, many girls wear shoes with very high heels (跟). They might think high heels make them look taller. But these shoes can really hurt their feet and make it hard to walk comfortably, and they can also make them fall down more easily. Some even wear tight (紧的) clothes that make it hard to breathe. Should we put fashion over comfort and health? Besides, some boys and girls spend a lot of time and money changing their hair color. The things they use are usually bad for their health. To make their hair straight or curly, they also use tools that are hot enough to burn their hair.

His clothes were old and dirty, but his eyes were so innocent, said Chisha, 28, who started the band. “I could see from his eyes that he wants to see the world outside the mountains.” But sadly, Chisha said that many local children didn’t have the money to get out of the mountains for higher education. “Growing up in the mountains in Liangshan, I’m lucky that I could go to college and learn what I like. I want them to see a bigger world too,” said Chisha. ★ That’s how they started the Buma Music Festival. Chisha and his team turned their hobby into a career (事业). Through the festival. Liangshan is helping its kids by sharing its music,” said Chisha. “Music helps make the world a better place.” According to Chisha, Buma has helped over 30 Liangshan teenagers go to universities. This year, at least another 10 Yi teenagers will get help. 70. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Sharing Music, Sharing Love B. Starting Buma Music Festival C. Getting out of the Mountains D. Dancing to the Universities 2. 【2023-2024东高区八上期中】 When I was a kid, school trips were a way to learn outside. They bring classmates and teachers closer in a more relaxing way than in the classroom. I’m glad to say I found similar moments as a teacher here in China. My earliest trip was to the Ferry Meadows Woods near my home in England. We went to look for deer, berries and mushrooms with what we learned. I loved finding mushrooms most. We also had many fun trips and cultural experiences. Our school took us to the theater and even Disneyland in Pans! When I worked as an English teacher in China, I could also take my students on similar educational trips and cultural experiences. My first China trip with my students was to look for bats in caves (洞穴). I taught them the words about caves there. Another was to the Temple of Heaven (天坛) in Beijing when it was snowing. We had an English lesson out in the snow! But the best one was a week-long drama (戏剧) trip all about Harry Potter. We played drama games and the students performed stories from the movie. They learned a lot of words about the magical world. We also visited the Palace Museum (故宫) to enjoy the beauty of the old things from the past We learned about many fantastic stories about them. Like the trips from my childhood in England, the China trips will always stay with me. These are magical ways of learning. I hope they will also stay with the students. 65.

We would play language games and they would teach their languages to me. Years later, a small girl from South America became fluent (流利的) in English.

It’s unreal. I’m so happy that I can make history for China’s tennis, because I always wanted to be one of the athletes (运动员) who can get a medal for China. Finally, I made it,” Zheng said during an interview after the final game. “I did everything I could. This is not a victory for myself, but a fight for China’s honor. I think my country will be proud of me, and I feel proud of myself.” When talking about her difficult way to success, Zheng said, “I just put my whole heart into every single match and fought hard, and there were two matches that I almost lost on my way to the final, especially 0-4 down in the second set against Iga Swiatek in the semifinal (半决赛). I felt the energy of all the support knowing that I played for my country. I just never gave up and tried my best.” Even with no ranking (排位) points on offer, nor prize money given, the Olympic gold will always hold a special place in Eheng’s heart, and will encourage her to achieve further success. “My parents always treat the Olympic Games more importantly than any of the other games, myself as well.

The child suddenly drops the string (线) and lets the kite fly high up in the sky. With joy in his eyes, the child watches it climb until it disappears in the distance. Right then, the father realizes that someday he will have to loosen (松开) the string that ties him to his son, too. But he also wonders, “Will I release the string as unselfishly as that?” Years later, my son, Frank, said seriously that he wouldn’t finish his college. I tried to talk him out of it. But none of my reasoning made any difference. At the end of the term, Frank moved back home. Frank managed to find a job at a nursery, and enjoyed staying with lots of children every day. I, however, was deeply disappointed (失望). What was a college professor’s son doing at a job that any high school dropout could do? ★ “Look!” I said, “In a few years, you will meet your high school classmates. They may become lawyers, doctors and engineers. Do you think you will be able to deal with that?” “Yes. Dad!” he replied quickly. Then he fixed his eyes on mine and said, “But the real question is: Can you?” I had nothing to say and just looked at him--I wasn’t thinking about my son while I was thinking about myself and what my friends would think. The problem wasn’t Frank’s pride (自尊心) . It was mine. All at once, I remembered my poem and the question –--“Will I release the string as unselfishly as that?” At that moment, I knew I had to let go. Frank was old enough to make his own choices. Today, Frank is very successful. I am very proud of whom he has become. Since I let go of my pride, I have been able to sit back and enjoy watching him fly high. 65. What would be the best title for the passage? A. The Real Problem B. Let Him Go C. Your Pride Works D.

After Daniel went off to college, you didn’t have to share anymore.” James smiled. “It is great to have my own room, but sometimes I really miss Daniel. We used to talk about everything—sports, school, friends. Although sometimes it seemed crowded, it was comforting to have someone else there.” “Yeah, ‘crowded’ is right.” I said. “I know,” James said. “But there are some good things that come out of it—we share memories and jokes no one else understands, and we can support one another in face of difficulties.” I sighed. “Didn’t Sara stay up half the night with you last week helping you with your homework?” James asked. I admitted (承认) unwillingly, “ Yeah, sometimes she is all right.” “This place can be your ‘room’. Anytime you need peace and quiet, just come here.” James said, pointing at a rock.

Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction. A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert, so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest. Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area. Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet. However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals. 59. What are people advised to do according to the last paragraph? A. To help animals. B. To travel at night. C. To keep city lights on. D. To develop unusual abilities. 2. 【2024~2025青山区八上期中】 B These days, a video (视频) about the play Thunderstorm ( 《雷雨》) gets very popular online.

Scientists say the main reason for this is the use of pesticides (农药). They. are bad for the places that insects live in. What would happen without insects?

Phuket is known for its beautiful, natural scenery that includes long coasts, a clear, blue sea and green hills.

You might see that many people choose style (风格) over comfort and some even go to extremes (极端) to follow fashion. But we should remember: being fashionable isn’t everything. It’s more important to be healthy. Some people believe that they need to be thin to look good. So, they start extreme diets (日常饮食) that are not good for their health. They might not eat meals or eat too little. Those can make them feel uncomfortable. Is it a healthy way to live? Also, many girls wear shoes with very high heels (跟). They might think high heels make them look taller. But these shoes can really hurt their feet and make it hard to walk comfortably, and they can also make them fall down more easily. Some even wear tight (紧的) clothes that make it hard to breathe. Should we put fashion over comfort and health? Besides, some boys and girls spend a lot of time and money changing their hair color. The things they use are usually bad for their health. To make their hair straight or curly, they also use tools that are hot enough to burn their hair. But using these tools too often or at very high temperatures can make the hair dry or even burnt. Is it really worth risking (冒风险) our health and spending so much time and money? So, let’s rethink what’s really important. Is it fashion or is it our well-being? Clothes or hairstyles don’t tell us anything about a person’s character (性格) . Instead of (取代) spending a lot of time choosing clothes, we could use that time to do fun things with friends. And instead of following extreme diets, let’s eat well and exercise often. Remember, your worth is not up to your looks, but who you are. 67. The writer use a question in each paragraph to __________. A. ask for help from readers B. tell how to spend time and money C. describe the latest fashion D. make readers think about the topic 2. 【2023-2024江岸区八上期中】 Think about a world without insects. It might sound nice at first. There would be no flies in your room. But in fact, this could be really bad news. The number of insects (昆虫) is less and less, according to British biologist Dave Goulson. “In the 27 years from 1989 to 2016, the number of insects fell by 75 percent,” Goulson wrote. Scientists say the main reason for this is the use of pesticides (农药). They. are bad for the places that insects live in. What would happen without insects? It’s almost impossible to give an answer, but the results would be far-reaching. We need insects to pollinate crops (给庄稼授粉). They also breakdown dead plants and animals and turn them into new useful things. We need them to keep the soil healthy and do much more. ★ . They would go hungry and die. The ecosystem (生态系统) would be off balance. The first step to stop this is to let more people understand “the values of the natural world, both for what it does for us and for its own sake”. Goulson said, “The best place to start is with our children. We should encourage them to protect the environment from an early age.” 65. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this article? A. To make readers learn from insects. B. To help animals live better and better. C. To tell children to work hard for the useful things. D. To call on people to protect environment. 3. 【2024-2025江岸区八上期中】 A 难度系数 ★★★ __________________ Erik is a 30-year-old travel blogger from the US.
