Amazon just made a list of the 10 best selling books. It’s not too late to read or reread the best-sellers. Here are the first three books.
★The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd
The story happened in the early 1800s. It told the relationship between Handful, a slave (奴隶), and Sarah, her owner, as they grew up together from childhood. Their good friendship, in the face of that special society, became a beautiful and difficult thing to watch as it changed over time.
★Gray Mountain by John Grisham
Samantha Kofer lost her job as a lawyer. She took a job at a legal aid firm (法律援助公司). For the first time her new job put her front and centre in the courtroom (法庭), and it also put her in terrible danger.
★All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
In the story, Marie-Laure, a blind French girl lived with her father during World War II, and Werner, a German young man who worked on building and fixing radios. This story questioned how the war made a difference to their lives.

①In the world, what people in different places should do isn’t always the same. Something that seems common to you may seem strange to others. Here are some surprising examples.
②People in Malaysia use their thumb (拇指) to point. In many cultures, people probably think that pointing with a finger isn’t very nice. However, in some countries like Indonesia and Malaysia, it is considered much more polite to point with the thumb.
③The Japanese enjoy slurping. Most cultures have rules about table manners. In western countries, making noise while eating food is usually considered impolite. However, in Japan, making slurping sounds while eating noodles can be accepted. This probably has something to do with the way noodles are eaten. The Japanese slurp up their noodles without winding them around an eating tool. This way of noodle eating is naturally noisy. Making slurping sounds when eating noodles in Japan shows that you’re enjoying them.
④Using your left hand might be impolite. In some countries, the use of the left hand for eating or other activities is considered impolite. People in these countries use their left hands for cleaning themselves after using the toilet, so the left hand is considered dirty. This custom is known in much of the Middle East, Sri Lanka, and parts of Africa.

41. In which of the following countries is it more polite to point with the thumb?
A. Only Malaysia. B. Indonesia and Malaysia.

Jilin Province, in the northeast of China, is famous for Changbai Mountain. It is one of the “Top 10 Mountains in China”. The name of it means “a mountain which remains white all year round” in Chinese. The name Changbai Mountain was first used in the Liao Dynasty.
In the early morning, we climbed the mountain from the western side. Along the way, we saw several wild animals and we were totally shocked at the beauty of the mountain. The whole mountain area is under thick snow cover for two months every year. The higher points from 1,500 meters to 2,400 meters above sea level are covered with snow for more than six months. Changbai Mountain is one of the most popular places for winter sports and amusements. We even tried many thrilling rides on the snow. It was so much fun. Besides, we enjoyed different kinds of foods.
What excited us most is undoubtedly the Tianchi Lake. It is the deepest alpine (高山的) lake in China. The Tianchi Lake is the place where the Songhua, Tumen and Yalu rivers begin and it has been regarded as a mysterious lake. Not all visitors are lucky enough to see the Tianchi Lake clearly the first time they go there, but we were.
One more thing we remembered was taking baths in the hot springs. All our tiredness and pressure were gone there. As visitors, we can’t stop being in love with everything we experienced in Changbai Mountain.

Reading is a good way to learn a little more about yourself. But do you know how to pick a book you really like? Here are some tips.

____58____ What was your mother’s favourite book when she was your age or your dad’s? Find out and give it a read—then you can talk about what your family liked about it and share your thoughts about the book. It’s fun to get to know your family a little better, and to find a book you’ll enjoy!

Life is full of the unexpected. No one knows what will happen tomorrow. A very strong earthquake, with a magnitude of 6.8, hit Morocco on the night of Sept. 8, 2023. At that time, Sam was away from his home in the small town of Amizmiz, Tamanlouakte, near the epicenter of the earthquake. He hurried back home through the broken buildings that covered the roads.
When he arrived, he found that his house was completely broken apart. Sam’s father, Mohamed, was trying very hard to save his three grandchildren who were still under the fallen building. Sadly, two of Sam’s three children—his 11-year-old daughter, Asma, and 5-year-old son, Ibrahim died. Asma and Ibrahim were among the 47 people who lost their lives in the earthquake in Tamanlouakte.
Volunteers provided Sam’s family with a tent, warm clothes, and food to help them live through the first part of the disaster. The workers from the Moroccan Red Crescent also helped Sam’s family as they dealt with their huge loss.
In the face of disasters, it’s impossible to bring back what people have lost, but offering a hand in time will help the families rebuild their lives. The help is just the first step for a family to get better after an earthquake.
根据短文内容,回答下列问题。
66. When did the earthquake hit Morocco?
__________________________________________________________________________________________
67. Where did the grandfather find the three children?
__________________________________________________________________________________________
68. How many people died in the earthquake in Tamanlouakte?

69. Who helped Sam’s family?

70. What can we do to help the families that lost homes to rebuild their lives?

八年级英语
一、语言知识运用(共35分)
Ⅰ.从每小题所给的三个选项中,选出一个正确答案。(5分)
1. The bag is too heavy ________ carry. Let’s ask volunteers for help.
A. to B. for C. in
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:这个包太重了拿不动。让我们向志愿者寻求帮助吧。
to不定式符号;for为了;in在……里面。根据“too heavy”可知此处使用too…to…结构,意为“太……而不能……”,后接动词原形。
2. My dad was washing his car while my mum ________ in the kitchen.
A. cooked B. cooking C. was cooking
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:当我的妈妈正在厨房做饭时,我的爸爸正在洗他的车。
“while”引导的时间状语从句表示两个动作同时进行,前半句“My dad was washing his car”使用了过去进行时,后半句也应使用过去进行时,结构为was/were + doing,主语“my mum”是第三人称单数,be动词用was。
3. — Have you ever ________ Beijing before?
— Yes, I went there last summer vacation.
A. gone to B. been to C. been in
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你以前曾经去过北京吗?——是的,我去年暑假去过那里。
have been to表示去过某地(已回);have gone to表示去了某地(未回);have been in通常后接时间段表示待在某地。根据“Have you ever... before”及答语“Yes, I went there...”可知,此处询问的是曾经去过某地的经历,且说话人此刻已经回来。结合语境应用have been to。
4. Nothing is impossible ________ you stick to it and never give up.
A. as long as B. as soon as C. as well as
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:只要你坚持到底永不放弃,没有什么是不可能的。
as long as只要,引导条件状语从句;as soon as一……就……,引导时间状语从句;as well as也,常连接并列成分。前后句之间存在条件关系,需要填入引导条件状语从句的短语。应填as long as。
5. —________ a wonderful trip it is!
—Yes, Zhuque Mountain is worth visiting.
A. How B. What C. Why
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——这是一次多么美妙的旅行啊!——是的,朱雀山值得一游。
How多么;What多么;Why为什么。根据“a wonderful trip it is”可知中心词是名词trip,应用What引导感叹句,结构为“What+a/an+形容词+名词+主语+谓语”。

①In the world, what people in different places should do isn’t always the same. Something that seems common to you may seem strange to others. Here are some surprising examples.
②People in Malaysia use their thumb (拇指) to point. In many cultures, people probably think that pointing with a finger isn’t very nice. However, in some countries like Indonesia and Malaysia, it is considered much more polite to point with the thumb.
③The Japanese enjoy slurping. Most cultures have rules about table manners. In western countries, making noise while eating food is usually considered impolite. However, in Japan, making slurping sounds while eating noodles can be accepted. This probably has something to do with the way noodles are eaten. The Japanese slurp up their noodles without winding them around an eating tool. This way of noodle eating is naturally noisy. Making slurping sounds when eating noodles in Japan shows that you’re enjoying them.
④Using your left hand might be impolite. In some countries, the use of the left hand for eating or other activities is considered impolite. People in these countries use their left hands for cleaning themselves after using the toilet, so the left hand is considered dirty. This custom is known in much of the Middle East, Sri Lanka, and parts of Africa.

41. In which of the following countries is it more polite to point with the thumb?
A. Only Malaysia. B. Indonesia and Malaysia.

A. Keeping quiet. B. Talking loudly.
C. Being on time. D. Eating or drinking noisily.

B. Because it is used for handling unclean objects in daily life
C. Because it is used for cleaning oneself after using the toilet.
D. Because it is believed to have more bacteria (细菌) naturally.
44. What’s the purpose of the passage?

【答案】41. B 42. D 43. C 44. B 45. A
【解析】
【导语】本文通过举例介绍不同国家的特殊风俗习惯,说明世界各地的文化习俗存在差异,对行为礼貌与否的评判标准各不相同。

Jilin Province, in the northeast of China, is famous for Changbai Mountain. It is one of the “Top 10 Mountains in China”. The name of it means “a mountain which remains white all year round” in Chinese. The name Changbai Mountain was first used in the Liao Dynasty.
In the early morning, we climbed the mountain from the western side. Along the way, we saw several wild animals and we were totally shocked at the beauty of the mountain. The whole mountain area is under thick snow cover for two months every year. The higher points from 1,500 meters to 2,400 meters above sea level are covered with snow for more than six months. Changbai Mountain is one of the most popular places for winter sports and amusements. We even tried many thrilling rides on the snow. It was so much fun. Besides, we enjoyed different kinds of foods.
What excited us most is undoubtedly the Tianchi Lake. It is the deepest alpine (高山的) lake in China. The Tianchi Lake is the place where the Songhua, Tumen and Yalu rivers begin and it has been regarded as a mysterious lake. Not all visitors are lucky enough to see the Tianchi Lake clearly the first time they go there, but we were.
One more thing we remembered was taking baths in the hot springs. All our tiredness and pressure were gone there. As visitors, we can’t stop being in love with everything we experienced in Changbai Mountain.

At that time, Sam was away from his home in the small town of Amizmiz, Tamanlouakte, near the epicenter of the earthquake. He hurried back home through the broken buildings that covered the roads.
When he arrived, he found that his house was completely broken apart. Sam’s father, Mohamed, was trying very hard to save his three grandchildren who were still under the fallen building. Sadly, two of Sam’s three children—his 11-year-old daughter, Asma, and 5-year-old son, Ibrahim died. Asma and Ibrahim were among the 47 people who lost their lives in the earthquake in Tamanlouakte.
Volunteers provided Sam’s family with a tent, warm clothes, and food to help them live through the first part of the disaster. The workers from the Moroccan Red Crescent also helped Sam’s family as they dealt with their huge loss.
