Cool water matches hot weather perfectly,but bear in mind that
you mustn't swim in unsafe water,like unfamiliar rivers,lakes and
low-lying areas.These places may look peaceful on the surface,but
the water below can be deep or move very fast.Swimming there could
put you at risk of drowning(溻水),with little time for others to help.
Don't spend all day playing video games in rooms with air
conditioners on.It may even cause illnesses like a headache,a sore
back,or a fever.Summer holiday is a great time to go out with your
parents and explore the beauty of nature.When you go out,
remember to pay attention to traffic safety.
In high temperatures,food goes bad easily.Be careful with what
you eat and drink.Eating bad food may lead to stomachaches.Also,
remember to throw away food waste.This helps keep mosquitoes
away and makes your environment cleaner and healthier.
21.Who is the passage written for?
A.Parents
B.Students.
C.Teachers
22.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Eating bad food in hot weather can lead to a fever.
B.Low-lying areas are safe for swimming because the water is not deep.
C.Climbing mountains with your parents is a good choice for the holiday.
23.In which part of a magazine can we read this text?
A.Travel and Adventure.B.History and Culture.
C.Health and Safety.
B
When I was 11 or 12 years old,I read US writer Tara Westover's Educated:A
Memoir(《你当像鸟飞往你的山》)for the first time.However,.I quickly became bored.
The book mainly tells Westover's own experiences:She longed for()knowledge but
was kept out of school by her father.With strong determination,she taught herself to
study.
At the time,I found the book uninteresting-not because Westover's story lacked(
)meaning,but because I was too young to fully understand it.In the end,I stopped
reading around the halfway point.
This year,the book became a must-read in my class.I am 15 now,and reading it
again gave me a completely different experience.On this reread,I could finally see the
courage in Westover's pursuit (of learning and the cost of her independence.
Breaking free from the beliefs of one's family was not easy,but she did it.She even went
on to attend college.
I realized that my own education over the years has changed the way I read and
understand.Reading this book didn't just teach me about Westover's journey:it also
taught me about my own.I learned that education isn't just power-it's the widening of
what the heart can hold.

You probably remember the Flaming Mountains()from Journey to the West.
But do you know where the real Flaming Mountains are?They are in Turpan,in the east
of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
It's known as one of the hottest areas in the world.The desert sand can be as hot as
80C in mid-summer.That's enough to make your feet burn!It may sound crazy,but the
locals can cook an egg on the desert sand.Rainfall in Turpan is only 16 mm a year.It is
one of the driest places in China.
How do people survive in such a terrible climate?The secret lies in the ancient karez
system(坎儿井).
The karez system in Turpan includes more than 1,000 wells.They appear every
20-30 metres.Some of them are 100 metres deep!The wells connect to large
underground canals.Water from the mountains falls into the wells and then runs
underground in the canals.It is kept cool and safe from the desert heat there.
There are over 5,000 kilometres of underground canals in the area,nearly as long as
the Yellow River!Thanks to the karez system,people can grow plants for food in this
difficult environment.And amazingly,all of this was completed with only hand tools.No
wonder it's among the top three projects of ancient China.
Today,the area faces a water shortage.Less water flows down from the mountains,
and rainfall has dropped,while people are using more water than before.Although modern
technology is solving some problems,many young people are learning about the karez
system and working hard to protect it.It will surely be carried into the future.
28.The underlined phrase"cook an egg on the desert sand"in paragraph 2 is used to show
that
A.locals are good at cooking
B.summer lasts very long there
C.the sand there is burning hot
29.What can we learn about the karez system according to the passage?
A.The wells are dug every twenty to thirty metres.
B.Workers used some modern machines to build it,
C.Its underground canals are longer than the Yellow River.
八年级英语试题第4页(共8页)
30.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.The karez system will disappear soon without technology.
B.Modern tech can completely sove Turpan's water problem.
C.Young people will take action to pass down the karez culture
31.Which of the following project is similar to the karez system?
A.Dujiangyan.
B.The Great Wall.
C.The Terracotta Army.
The 2025 hurricane()season was one of the most active in recent years,with
strong storms that caused dangerous floods.During Hurricane Helene in Florida,
floodwater rose to 15 feet-as high as a one-story house.It destroyed homes and nature,
and put people in danger.Strong winds and heavy rain also made rescue work harder.
However,many places don't have the tools to predict these events in time,so people often
don't get enough warning to stay safe.
Now,there is a possible solution.A student named Samuel Daramola and his team
created a special computer program,called LSTM-SAM for short.
It uses deep learning and a method called transfer learning to estimate()water
levels during storms,even in places with little data.The model learns from past storms.
Then,it uses what it learned to make predictions in areas with limited information.This
helps rescue workers decide when to move people to safety,where to place supplies(
物资)and how to protect people and buildings..
The team tested LSTM-SAM on the US Atlantic coast,where hurricanes often hit.
It predicted when water levels would rise,peak(到达顶峰)and fall..It even worked at tide
stations destroyed in storms,like the one in Sandy Hook,New Jersey.
The model is free to download from the CoRAL Lab's GitHub page and works on a
laptop in just minutes.This helps small towns and developing countries that don't have
costly tools or detailed weather data.Unlike other models that focus on repeated patterns,
Daramola said,his team trained LSTM-SAM to pay special attention to sudden changes
in water levels.This helps the model find important signs of flooding and make more exact
predictions during storms.
With storms becoming stronger and more common,tools like LSTM-SAM can help
save lives,protect homes and support safer communities around the world.
32.What is LSTM-SAM?
A.A kind of hurricane hitting the US Atlantic coast.
B.A rescue team to help people in dangerous situation.
C.A computer program for estimating storm water levels.
33.What is the main idea of paragraph 3?
A.How LSTM-SAM works.
B.Who created LSTM-SAM.
C.Why LSTM-SAM is special.
34.How is LSTM-SAM different from other weather models?
A.It needs lots of costly weather tools to work well.
八年级英语试题第5页(共8页)
B.It is trained to notice sudden water level changes.
C.It can stop floods and heavy rain during hurricanes
35.Which words can best describe LSTM-SAM?
A.Free and helpful.
B.Simple and useless.
C.Costly and powerful.

项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余选项。
Studying means managing a number of competing deadlines(截止时间).Finding the
best ways to study means making time plans that will help you to stay calm and organized.
36
Make plans,reach your goals.
37 Think carefully about how long each task will really take.Make your plans
simple and possible to finish.The idea is not to stress yourself out,but to plan for a
course to where you want to be.
Write everything down.
Keep your plans,meetings and new ideas in a diary,notebook or calendar app.
38 Your bedroom door is a good choice.This way,you won't miss any important
dates.
39
Never study all day long without a break.It will make you tired and worried.Take
time to relax and do activities you enjoy,like playing sports or listening to music.Find a
method for breaking up your study times that works for you,like the Pomodoro technique(
工作法)(working in25-minute intervals with short breaks).
Set a time to finish every day.
It can be so easy to just read one more chapter or write one more page.40 This is
even more important when you study at night,because your brain needs time to slow
down before you go to bed.Set an alarm each day to let yourself know it's time to finish
for the day.
A.Take time to have a rest.
B.Set out a list of the tasks you want to finish.
C.Here are some tips for managing your time better.
D.Don't compare your study speed with other students.
E.But it's important to give yourself a certain time to end the task.
F.You can also stick a big wall planner somewhere you pass by every day.

Different countries have unique cultural rules.For example,in many Western
couis people value personal space highly.They feeluncrble ifothers stand too
close while talking.Also,they dislike being asked private questions,such as age,
marriage and income.
When taking part in international parties,we need to pay attention to our dressing.
Formal clothes are necessary for big and serious occasions.Casual clothes may make you
look disrespeetful.Besides,we should contro our speaking speed and one,keepinggene
and polite all the time.
At the dinner table,different table rules also need our attention.In Asian countries,
chopstick usage has many taboos.In Western countries,people avoid making loud noises
while eating.These rules are not hard,but they test our patience and carefulness.
Many students feel nervous when communicating with foreigners for the first time.It
is normal.No one is born with perfect social skills.When we meet cultural differences,
we'd better watch and learn instead of laughing or questioning.We should never look down
on any culture.All cultures are equal and worthy of respect.With enough practice,we can
handle cross-cultural situations properly.
In short,good manners go beyond borders().They are the most beautiful and
universal language in the world.Therefore,
61.Why should we master cross-cultural manners according to the passage?
