They are not just “extra activities”—they help students grow in different ways. First, after-school clubs help students develop their hobbies. For example, the art club lets students practice drawing and painting, while the science club allows them to do small experiments. These activities let students try things they can’t do in regular classes, which helps them find their interests. Some students even discover talents they didn’t know they had! Second, clubs help students make more friends. When students join a club, they meet other students who like the same things. They work together on projects or practice together, which builds strong friendships. This is especially helpful for new students who are still getting used to the school. Third, clubs teach students important skills. The debate club teaches students to speak confidently, and the sports club teaches teamwork. These skills are not just useful at school—they will help students in their future lives too. Some students think they are too busy with homework to join clubs. But most clubs only meet once or twice a week, and they are fun. Students can relax while learning new things. In short, after-school clubs make school life more interesting and help students become better people. Every student should try to join at least one club. 1. What is the main idea of the passage? A．How to join after-school clubs. B．Why after-school clubs are important for students. C．Different kinds of after-school clubs. D．When after-school clubs meet. 2. Which benefit of after-school clubs is NOT mentioned? A．Helping students develop hobbies. B．Helping students make more friends. C．Helping students finish homework faster. D．Teaching students important skills. 3. What does the debate club teach students? A．To draw well. B．To speak confidently. C．To do experiments. D．To work in a team. 4. What does the writer think about students who are too busy for clubs? A．They should stop doing homework. B．They can still join clubs because most meet once or twice a week. C．They should join more clubs to relax. D．They don’t need to join any clubs. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 4. B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了课后俱乐部对学生的重要性及其带来的多种益处，包括发展兴趣爱好、结交朋友、学习重要技能等。 1. 主旨大意题。根据文章标题“Why After-School Clubs Are Important for Students”和“After-school clubs are an important part of school life”以及全文内容可知，文章主要围绕课后俱乐部的重要性展开。故选B。 2. 细节理解题。根据“First, after-school clubs help students develop their hobbies.”、“Second, clubs help students make more friends.”以及“Third, clubs teach students important skills.”可知，文章未提及“帮助学生更快完成作业”。故选C。 3. 细节理解题。根据“The debate club teaches students to speak confidently”可知，辩论俱乐部教授学生自信表达。故选B。 4. 观点态度题。根据“But most clubs only meet once or twice a week, and they are fun.

Not just that, you have to show your knowledge of the English language on one of the two major English proficiency (水平) examinations: the IELTS (雅思) or the TOEFL (托福). Which test you should take depends on your goal. The TOEFL remains the top exam in the US. But the IELTS is popular in the US but it is already the liked better test in the UK and Australia. There are also differences in the examinations themselves. They both measure (测试) the four main language requirements: speaking, reading, writing and listening. However, the exams are very different in their form and methodology (方法). “Compared with the TOEFL, the IELTS test requires you to actually have a grasp (掌握) of the language and an ability to use it, rather than simply being well prepared for the test,” explains IELTS examiner Julian Fisher. The key reasons for this are that the IELTS exam requires fill-in answers as opposed to (相对于) multiple choice (选择题), and its speaking section is done with a real examiner instead of a computer. The examinee is given a topic related to daily life. “The face-to-face interview with a trained speaker of English allows for communicative interaction (交流互动), which reflects (反应) real academic (学术的) and workplace situations,” said senior exam marketing officer Pang Shuai.     What scores do I need? For the IELTS, a band score of 5 to 7 is fine for the majority of undergraduate and post-graduate programs. For top schools, you will probably need at least a 7. When it comes to the TOEFL, there is a range (范围). It all depends on the colleges. Mediocre (普通的) schools will let you get by with a score as low as 60. For a top-tier university, on the other hand, you will need to score upwards of 100 points on your TOEFL. 1. What does Paragraph 2 suggest? A．In the US, the TOEFL score is not as important as it once was. B．IELTS is more widely accepted than TOEFL by US schools. C．The TOEFL score is liked better in Australian universities. D．Universities in the UK mainly see students’ IELTS scores. 2. Which of the following is a difference between the TOEFL and the IELTS? A．The TOEFL checks four English skills, while IELTS doesn’t. B．The IELTS tests focus more on test-taking skills. C．There are no fill-in answers in the TOEFL tests. D．The IELTS interview s test-takers on the computer. 3. What does Pang Shuai think of the face-to-face interview? A．More exams should take this exam form. B．It is a useful skill in one’s studies and at work. C．This exam form can make test-takers more relaxed. D．A test-taker can score high simply by preparing well. 4. If you want to go to a top university in the UK or US, ________. A．a 7 on the IELTS is probably a must B．a score of 60 on the TOEFL is enough C．you should take both the TOEFL and IELTS D．you need a 7.5 on the IELTS for post-graduate programs 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 4. A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了雅思和托福这两个考试的特点、区别以及要求等。 1. 推理判断题。根据“The TOEFL remains the top exam in the US. But the IELTS is popular in the US but it is already the liked better test in the UK and Australia.”可知，雅思已经成为英国和澳大利亚的首选考试了。由此推测，英国大学生主要看学生的雅思成绩。故选D。 2. 细节理解题。根据“‘Compared with the TOEFL, the IELTS test requires you to actually have a grasp (掌握) of the language and an ability to use it, rather than simply being well prepared for the test,’ explains IELTS examiner Julian Fisher.”和“The key reasons for this are that the IELTS exam requires fill-in answers as opposed to (相对于) multiple choice (选择题), and its speaking section is done with a real examiner instead of a computer.”可知，雅思考试需要考生真正地掌握语言，而不仅仅是应试技巧，因为雅思考试中不仅有选择题，还有填空题，而托福考试中没有设置填空题。故选C。 3. 推理判断题。根据“‘The face-to-face interview with a trained speaker of English allows for communicative interaction (交流互动), which reflects (反应) real academic (学术的) and workplace situations,’ said senior exam marketing officer Pang Shuai.”可知，庞帅认为面对面的面试对一个人的工作和学习比较有帮助。故选B。 4. 细节理解题。根据“For top schools, you will probably need at least a 7.”可知，如果你要去英国或美国的顶尖大学，雅思成绩至少要达到7分。故选A。 Passage 4 （25-26八年级上·江苏南通·期末）Comic books are often not allowed in class, but students at Beijing New Oriental Foreign Language School at Yangzhou, Jiangsu, get to enjoy them in their comic class. “Comics are not just fun with no real value,” said the class teacher, Hu Xinlei,  who has taught comics for 20 years. “Many of them carry deep ideas.” In class, students read classic Chinese and foreign comics such as Father and Son and Winter of Three Hairs (《三毛流浪记》). But the class is not only about reading. With the teacher’s help, students learn to look at comics from different angles (角度). They study the basic features and forms of comics and find out the deeper meanings behind each story. Besides character design and storytelling, students also learn many drawing skills. One of the most interesting ones is called “allusion (用典)”.“We often get ideas from classic comics to create new stories,” said 16-year-old Hu Shiyuan. “It’s very interesting to find connections between the past and the present.” Hu once told the story Sima Guang and the Water Jar (《司马光砸缸》) in a new way. In her comic, Sima needs a stone right away to break the jar and save the person, but someone is sitting on the only stone and won’t move. Hu used this image (形象) to satirize (讽刺) people who refuse to give up their seats to others. For the students, the class is more than an art class. “I used to think comics were just about drawing cartoon characters, but now they have become a powerful tool to share my thoughts, ”said 15-year-old He Liyan .“I hope to create more interesting works in the future.” 1. How does the writer lead in the topic? A．By telling a fact. B．By asking a question. C．By expressing one’s ideas. D．By sharing a personal story. 2. What does “this image” refer to (指代) in Paragraph 3?

D．A special class teaching students to express ideas through comics. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. C 4.

Hu used this image (形象) to satirize (讽刺) people who refuse to give up their seats to others”，由此可知“this image”指代的是“有人坐在唯一的石头上不动”。 3. 第三段中“Hu used this image (形象) to satirize (讽刺) people who refuse to give up their seats to others”表明有学生用经典故事来展现不乐于助人的人存在的问题，C选项正确。 4. 最后一段“For the students, the class is more than an art class. ‘I used to think comics were just about drawing cartoon characters, but now they have become a powerful tool to share my thoughts, ’said 15-year-old He Liyan .‘I hope to create more interesting works in the future.’”以及前文对漫画课内容的介绍，说明文章主要讲的是一个教学生通过漫画表达想法的特殊课程。 Passage 5 （25-26八年级上·江苏苏州·期中）①Dear girls and boys, do you think backpacks (背包) are important for you?

Would you say “good morning” to your school’s cleaners? For high school student Ding Jiacheng, it’s a problem that many students ignore (忽视) the important jobs done by these non-teaching workers. He wanted to make a change. The boy from Hangzhou Entel Foreign Language School, together with several other students, worked on a project called “The invisible (隐身的) are significant”. They hoped more students would see and respect the “invisible” staff on campus. The project won a prize at China Thinks Big, a competition held by Harvard University and Tsinghua University to encourage teenagers to study social issues. “My team members and I sent questionnaires (问卷) to 158 students,” said Ding. “In one question, 56 percent of the students said they would greet those non-teaching workers, while only 17 percent strongly believe that every student should do so.” The team also observed interactions (互动) between students and workers. “When most students follow the rules of their teachers, one-third of the students go against the rules of the dormitory attendants (宿舍管理员),”said Ding. “It shows that students treat non-teaching staff differently from teaching staff.” The main reason, according to Ding, is that students know little about the work done by non-teaching staff. They also have few chances to communicate with them. Therefore, Ding’s team shot videos to show staff working around campus. They also held a basketball match between students and non-teaching staff to increase their interaction. “We’ve also made a series of stickers (贴纸),” said Ding. “We hope these cute images will help young people like the non-teaching staff more.” “The activity helped me understand that we can all make a positive impact (积极影响) through our creative ideas,” said Ding. 1.

Since May 6th, the school has introduced reclining chairs for students to nap during the lunch breaks. The chairs have been used across four grades, with over 100 sets provided for Grade 9. “Before this, I could only rest at my desk for a nap, often leading to my hands and neck uncomfortable. Sometimes I even found myself pressing my eyes against my arms, causing pains,” the 15-year-old Geng complained. “Now, lying down for sleep is very comfortable, just like being at home.” For Wang Tingnuo, lying down to nap has made her want to rest. “In the past, I napped for about 20 minutes at most before we got up. Now I choose to sleep for 10 to 20 more minutes with the reclining chair,” she said. She added that the longer sleep time also helps her do better in her afternoon studies. According to Xu Weimin, a sleep expert in Shanghai, lying down for a nap brings physical and mental benefits. “It can relax the muscles and improve blood flow to the brain,” Xu told Xinhua News. However, there has also been some worry about the reclining chairs. “Some students might lean back even during class, so it needs effective (有效的) management,” Chu Peilu, an English teacher said. “But in all, I think it brings more good than bad.” 1.

Children around the world get their education in different ways. During rainy seasons, Bangladesh often has many floods (洪水). Then many schools have to close and students can’t go to school. Luckily, there is a group named Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha to help. It began to run boat schools in 2002, and more than 70,000 children have got their education on boats. The group has around 100 boats and each one has a small library and a computer. Each year more than 4,000 of India’s poorest children get their education on the platforms (站台) of the country’s train stations. The idea for the Train Platform School came from a teacher called Inderjit Khurana. She took the train to work each morning, and she often saw some children begging (乞讨) on the train. Then she decided to do something for them. In 1985, she set up the first Train Platform School and later more came out. The schools use music and drama (戏剧) to teach the children how to read and write. When the children are ready, they can transfer to a full-time school. There, they will go on with further education. You won’t find any books at the West Philadelphia School of the Future in the US. Instead, all students have their own computers and learn on special apps. Teachers don’t use traditional (传统的) whiteboards—they use Smart Boards. When the school opened in 2006, both the teachers and the students found it difficult. However, these days students love it and they do well in maths and reading. The school is very popular with parents. 1. When describing the group Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha, the writer ________. A．tells a story B．gives some facts C．uses some examples D．talks about his   experience 2. What does the underlined phrase “transfer to” mean in Chinese? A．放弃 B．参观 C．开办 D．转到 3. Which sentence is true according to the passage? A．In boat schools, each student has a small library and a computer. B．In the Train Platform Schools, children can go on to further education by learning drama. C．Inderjit Khurana set up the first Train Platform School in 1985, D．The West Philadelphia School of the Future was popular when it first opened. 4. What is the passage mainly about? A．Different ways of teaching. B．The importance of education. C．The use of computers in teaching. D．Some special schools in the world. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 4. D 【导语】本文介绍了世界各地的儿童以不同的方式接受教育。 【详解】1. 推理判断题。根据第二段“It began to run boat schools in 2002, and more than 70,000 children have got their education on boats. The group has around 100 boats and each one has a small library and a computer.”可知，此处是说了一些事实。故选B。 2. 词句猜测题。根据“The schools use music and drama to teachthe children how to read and write.”和“There, they will go on with further education.”可知，孩子们是去了一个新的环境，“transfer”是动词，意为“转移，改变”，“transfer to”意为“转移到，转学”。故选D。 3. 细节理解题。根据第三段“...a teacher called Inderjit Khurana...In 1985, she set up the first Train Platform School and later more came out.”可知，所以C选项“Inderjit Khurana于1985年建立了第一所火车站台学校。”正确。故选C。 4. 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Children around the world get their education in different ways.”文意以及全文可知，本文说的是世界上三个地方的学校，因此D选项“世界上一些特别的学校。”符合题意。故选D。 Passage 11 （25-26八年级上·安徽蚌埠·期中）What is the most important part of school life? Many students and parents might think of academic (学术的) subjects like maths and science. Of course, good grades are essential (必不可少的) for our future studies. However, I believe that taking part in extra activities is just as important as studying textbooks. Firstly, clubs and sports teams teach us practical (实用的) skills that we cannot learn in classrooms. For example, when you join a football team, you can learn about teamwork and perseverance. When you become a member of the debate (辩论) club, you can improve your communication and critical (批判的) thinking skills. These are all important abilities for our future careers and personal lives. Moreover, these activities are a great way to reduce stress. After a long day of concentrating on (专注于) lessons, playing an instrument or drawing in an art club can help us relax and refresh our minds. A happy and healthy student is often a more efficient learner. All in all, a perfect school life should keep a balance between hard work and enjoyable activities. We should study hard and take part in various clubs and sports actively. They make our school days more colourful and help us become well-rounded individuals. 1. Which statement is TRUE in Paragraph 1? A．Academic subjects are not important. B．Extra activities are as important as academic studies. C．Students should only focus on sports. D．Parents only want students to have good grades. 2. According to the writer, what can a student learn from the debate club? A．Communication and critical thinking skills. B．Teamwork and perseverance. C．The ways to work hard and act well. D．A perfect school life. 3. What is one good point of extra activities in Paragraph 3? A．They help students get better grades in exams. B．They allow students to relax and refresh their minds. C．They help students make more money in the future. D．They make students concentrate on lessons for a long day. 4. What do the underlined words “well-rounded individuals” mean? A．People who are only good at sports. B．People who are only good at studying. C．People who have a variety of skills and experiences. D．People who have colourful schoolwork. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. B 4. C 【导语】本文主要论述了课外活动与学业学习同等重要，并阐述了课外活动在培养实用技能、缓解压力以及促进全面发展方面的积极作用。 【详解】1. 文章第一段最后一句“However, I believe that taking part in extra activities is just as important as studying textbooks.”指出，作者认为参加课外活动和学习课本知识同样重要。 2. 文章第二段第三句“When you become a member of the debate club, you can improve your communication and critical thinking skills.”指出，参加辩论俱乐部可以提高沟通和批判性思维能力。 3. 文章第三段第二句“After a long day of concentrating on lessons, playing an instrument or drawing in an art club can help us relax and refresh our minds.”指出，课外活动可以帮助学生放松和恢复精神。 4. 文章最后一段最后一句“They make our school days more colourful and help us become well-rounded individuals.”中，作者提到课外活动让校园生活更加丰富多彩，并帮助我们成为“well-rounded individuals”。因此，“well-rounded individuals”指的是在学术、社交、实践等多方面都得到发展、拥有多种技能和丰富经验的人，即“全面发展的人”。 Passage 12 （25-26八年级上·安徽淮北·期中）In a school garden in Ningxia, the roles of students are not the same as before. Here, students do the teaching. “This is our vegetable area,” a student from Grade 8 tells a visitor. “We have grown many kinds of vegetables.” “Look! These are tomatoes,” another student adds, “and those are carrots…” The two students have been working in the garden since 2021. They are part of their school’s gardening programme.

They finish all the important steps by themselves. For example, team members study what to grow. Then they discuss and plan their gardens. They plant seeds (种子), pull weeds and water their plants. Some students also grow oranges and apples by themselves. In autumn, they harvest their “schoolwork”—all kinds of fruits and vegetables! ★ too. For example, students study the plants they grow in science classes. Maths becomes a tool for planning the garden.

They are not just “extra activities”—they help students grow in different ways. First, after-school clubs help students develop their hobbies. For example, the art club lets students practice drawing and painting, while the science club allows them to do small experiments. These activities let students try things they can’t do in regular classes, which helps them find their interests. Some students even discover talents they didn’t know they had! Second, clubs help students make more friends. When students join a club, they meet other students who like the same things. They work together on projects or practice together, which builds strong friendships. This is especially helpful for new students who are still getting used to the school. Third, clubs teach students important skills. The debate club teaches students to speak confidently, and the sports club teaches teamwork. These skills are not just useful at school—they will help students in their future lives too. Some students think they are too busy with homework to join clubs. But most clubs only meet once or twice a week, and they are fun. Students can relax while learning new things. In short, after-school clubs make school life more interesting and help students become better people. Every student should try to join at least one club. 1. What is the main idea of the passage? A．How to join after-school clubs. B．Why after-school clubs are important for students. C．Different kinds of after-school clubs. D．When after-school clubs meet. 2. Which benefit of after-school clubs is NOT mentioned? A．Helping students develop hobbies. B．Helping students make more friends. C．Helping students finish homework faster. D．Teaching students important skills. 3. What does the debate club teach students? A．To draw well. B．To speak confidently. C．To do experiments. D．To work in a team. 4. What does the writer think about students who are too busy for clubs? A．They should stop doing homework. B．They can still join clubs because most meet once or twice a week. C．They should join more clubs to relax. D．They don’t need to join any clubs. Passage 2 （23-24八年级上·江苏徐州·期中）I’m a student at Rocky Mountain High School. The school day begins at 8:45.

Not just that, you have to show your knowledge of the English language on one of the two major English proficiency (水平) examinations: the IELTS (雅思) or the TOEFL (托福). Which test you should take depends on your goal. The TOEFL remains the top exam in the US. But the IELTS is popular in the US but it is already the liked better test in the UK and Australia. There are also differences in the examinations themselves. They both measure (测试) the four main language requirements: speaking, reading, writing and listening. However, the exams are very different in their form and methodology (方法). “Compared with the TOEFL, the IELTS test requires you to actually have a grasp (掌握) of the language and an ability to use it, rather than simply being well prepared for the test,” explains IELTS examiner Julian Fisher. The key reasons for this are that the IELTS exam requires fill-in answers as opposed to (相对于) multiple choice (选择题), and its speaking section is done with a real examiner instead of a computer. The examinee is given a topic related to daily life. “The face-to-face interview with a trained speaker of English allows for communicative interaction (交流互动), which reflects (反应) real academic (学术的) and workplace situations,” said senior exam marketing officer Pang Shuai.     What scores do I need? For the IELTS, a band score of 5 to 7 is fine for the majority of undergraduate and post-graduate programs. For top schools, you will probably need at least a 7. When it comes to the TOEFL, there is a range (范围). It all depends on the colleges. Mediocre (普通的) schools will let you get by with a score as low as 60. For a top-tier university, on the other hand, you will need to score upwards of 100 points on your TOEFL. 1. What does Paragraph 2 suggest? A．In the US, the TOEFL score is not as important as it once was. B．IELTS is more widely accepted than TOEFL by US schools. C．The TOEFL score is liked better in Australian universities. D．Universities in the UK mainly see students’ IELTS scores. 2. Which of the following is a difference between the TOEFL and the IELTS? A．The TOEFL checks four English skills, while IELTS doesn’t. B．The IELTS tests focus more on test-taking skills. C．There are no fill-in answers in the TOEFL tests. D．The IELTS interview s test-takers on the computer. 3. What does Pang Shuai think of the face-to-face interview? A．More exams should take this exam form. B．It is a useful skill in one’s studies and at work. C．This exam form can make test-takers more relaxed. D．A test-taker can score high simply by preparing well. 4. If you want to go to a top university in the UK or US, ________. A．a 7 on the IELTS is probably a must B．a score of 60 on the TOEFL is enough C．you should take both the TOEFL and IELTS D．you need a 7.5 on the IELTS for post-graduate programs Passage 4 （25-26八年级上·江苏南通·期末）Comic books are often not allowed in class, but students at Beijing New Oriental Foreign Language School at Yangzhou, Jiangsu, get to enjoy them in their comic class. “Comics are not just fun with no real value,” said the class teacher, Hu Xinlei,  who has taught comics for 20 years. “Many of them carry deep ideas.” In class, students read classic Chinese and foreign comics such as Father and Son and Winter of Three Hairs (《三毛流浪记》). But the class is not only about reading. With the teacher’s help, students learn to look at comics from different angles (角度). They study the basic features and forms of comics and find out the deeper meanings behind each story. Besides character design and storytelling, students also learn many drawing skills. One of the most interesting ones is called “allusion (用典)”.“We often get ideas from classic comics to create new stories,” said 16-year-old Hu Shiyuan. “It’s very interesting to find connections between the past and the present.” Hu once told the story Sima Guang and the Water Jar (《司马光砸缸》) in a new way. In her comic, Sima needs a stone right away to break the jar and save the person, but someone is sitting on the only stone and won’t move. Hu used this image (形象) to satirize (讽刺) people who refuse to give up their seats to others. For the students, the class is more than an art class. “I used to think comics were just about drawing cartoon characters, but now they have become a powerful tool to share my thoughts, ”said 15-year-old He Liyan .“I hope to create more interesting works in the future.” 1. How does the writer lead in the topic? A．By telling a fact. B．By asking a question. C．By expressing one’s ideas. D．By sharing a personal story. 2. What does “this image” refer to (指代) in Paragraph 3? A．The water jar with a person inside. B．Sima Guang breaking the jar quickly. C．A person helping Sima Guang find a stone. D．Someone sitting on the only stone and not moving. 3. Which of the following is true according to the article? A．The comic class focuses on how to improve drawing skills. B．The teacher believes comics are for fun with no deep meaning. C．One student used a classic story to show problems with unhelpful people. D．Students read foreign comics but do not read any Chinese comics in class. 4. What is the article mainly about? A．How students learn to draw funny characters in comic classes. B．The life story of a comic teacher who has taught for twenty years. C．The history and development of comic books in Chinese schools. D．A special class teaching students to express ideas through comics. Passage 5 （25-26八年级上·江苏苏州·期中）①Dear girls and boys, do you think backpacks (背包) are important for you? Do you have any ideas about the new rule “No backpacks in the classroom”? Our school wants to carry out the rule next month. Here are the reasons. ②Students may bring something unhealthy and dangerous. They may take some junk food like spicy strips (辣条). And some of them may bring something dangerous like knives. To deal with these problems, the school makes the rule—No backpacks in the classroom. ③Students’ backpacks use much space in the classroom. Because of them, the classrooms are always crowded. If we don’t have backpacks, the classroom will be less crowded, cleaner and tidier. ④Heavy backpacks are not good for students’ health. Some backpacks are big and heavy. If a student carries a heavy backpack, he or she may have problems in the back and shoulders. ⑤With the rule, students can’t bring backpacks into classrooms. They need to keep them in lockers (储物柜). Do students like this rule? ⑥“If I don’t bring a backpack, it’s hard for me to take many things with my hands, such as books, a cup, a pencil bag and more,” Amelia said. “I will feel better if I don’t keep my backpack,” Nick said. “I’d like to keep my backpack because my locker is far from my classroom.” said Linda. 1.

Passage 7 （25-26八年级上·江苏无锡·阶段检测）Have you ever paid attention to your school’s security guards (保安) or dining hall staff (职员)? Would you say “good morning” to your school’s cleaners? For high school student Ding Jiacheng, it’s a problem that many students ignore (忽视) the important jobs done by these non-teaching workers. He wanted to make a change. The boy from Hangzhou Entel Foreign Language School, together with several other students, worked on a project called “The invisible (隐身的) are significant”. They hoped more students would see and respect the “invisible” staff on campus. The project won a prize at China Thinks Big, a competition held by Harvard University and Tsinghua University to encourage teenagers to study social issues. “My team members and I sent questionnaires (问卷) to 158 students,” said Ding. “In one question, 56 percent of the students said they would greet those non-teaching workers, while only 17 percent strongly believe that every student should do so.” The team also observed interactions (互动) between students and workers. “When most students follow the rules of their teachers, one-third of the students go against the rules of the dormitory attendants (宿舍管理员),”said Ding. “It shows that students treat non-teaching staff differently from teaching staff.” The main reason, according to Ding, is that students know little about the work done by non-teaching staff. They also have few chances to communicate with them. Therefore, Ding’s team shot videos to show staff working around campus. They also held a basketball match between students and non-teaching staff to increase their interaction. “We’ve also made a series of stickers (贴纸),” said Ding. “We hope these cute images will help young people like the non-teaching staff more.” “The activity helped me understand that we can all make a positive impact (积极影响) through our creative ideas,” said Ding. 1. Why did Ding Jiacheng and his teammates start the project “The invisible are significant”? A．To win a prize at the competition China Thinks Big. B．To help non-teaching staff at his school find other jobs. C．So more students would see and respect non-teaching workers. D．To draw students’ attention to important social issues. 2. What are Paragraphs 3-4 mainly about? A．What jobs non-teaching workers do. B．How asking questions helps students learn. C．How Ding’s team worked on their project. D．Why many students don’t follow school rules. 3. According to the passage, what did Ding’s team do to help other students know more about the non-teaching staff on their campus? a. They made posters.         b. They shot videos. c. They made a series of stickers.     d. They held a basketball match. A．abc B．abd C．acd D．bcd 4. What can we learn from the passage? A．High school students care more about the non-teaching staff. B．Students should treat non-teaching staff the same as teaching staff. C．Better communication can help students value the teaching staff. D．Young people love to make stickers of the people around them. Passage 8 （24-25八年级上·江苏扬州·期末） When the midday nap bell rings, Geng Xian from a foreign language school in Shenzhen pulls out the footrest, reclines (靠) on her chair and lies back for a nap with her classmates. Since May 6th, the school has introduced reclining chairs for students to nap during the lunch breaks. The chairs have been used across four grades, with over 100 sets provided for Grade 9. “Before this, I could only rest at my desk for a nap, often leading to my hands and neck uncomfortable. Sometimes I even found myself pressing my eyes against my arms, causing pains,” the 15-year-old Geng complained. “Now, lying down for sleep is very comfortable, just like being at home.” For Wang Tingnuo, lying down to nap has made her want to rest. “In the past, I napped for about 20 minutes at most before we got up. Now I choose to sleep for 10 to 20 more minutes with the reclining chair,” she said. She added that the longer sleep time also helps her do better in her afternoon studies. According to Xu Weimin, a sleep expert in Shanghai, lying down for a nap brings physical and mental benefits. “It can relax the muscles and improve blood flow to the brain,” Xu told Xinhua News. However, there has also been some worry about the reclining chairs. “Some students might lean back even during class, so it needs effective (有效的) management,” Chu Peilu, an English teacher said. “But in all, I think it brings more good than bad.” 1. What is TRUE about the reclining chairs in the school? A．Every student in Shenzhen has one in their classroom. B．Some students can lie on them for a nap in school.

Here are some funny school rules: Strict Japanese rules Most schools ask students to wear uniforms, such as sports suits or skirts. But Japanese schools even have rules about the colour of the underwear! They also require that girls’ socks should be folded (被折叠) in a certain way and that boys’ heads should be shaved (剃). Other Japanese schools tell students that they can’t watch the films after sunset. Different shoes in the USA At some American schools, students have to change their shoes when they go into the schools every day.

Passage 10 （23-24八年级上·江苏徐州·期中）In some parts of the world, it’s easy for kids to go to school, but in other places, there are many problems that make it hard for kids to get a good education (教育). Children around the world get their education in different ways. During rainy seasons, Bangladesh often has many floods (洪水). Then many schools have to close and students can’t go to school. Luckily, there is a group named Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha to help. It began to run boat schools in 2002, and more than 70,000 children have got their education on boats. The group has around 100 boats and each one has a small library and a computer. Each year more than 4,000 of India’s poorest children get their education on the platforms (站台) of the country’s train stations. The idea for the Train Platform School came from a teacher called Inderjit Khurana. She took the train to work each morning, and she often saw some children begging (乞讨) on the train. Then she decided to do something for them. In 1985, she set up the first Train Platform School and later more came out. The schools use music and drama (戏剧) to teach the children how to read and write. When the children are ready, they can transfer to a full-time school. There, they will go on with further education. You won’t find any books at the West Philadelphia School of the Future in the US. Instead, all students have their own computers and learn on special apps. Teachers don’t use traditional (传统的) whiteboards—they use Smart Boards. When the school opened in 2006, both the teachers and the students found it difficult. However, these days students love it and they do well in maths and reading. The school is very popular with parents. 1. When describing the group Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha, the writer ________.

A．Different ways of teaching. B．The importance of education. C．The use of computers in teaching. D．Some special schools in the world. Passage 11 （25-26八年级上·安徽蚌埠·期中）What is the most important part of school life? Many students and parents might think of academic (学术的) subjects like maths and science. Of course, good grades are essential (必不可少的) for our future studies. However, I believe that taking part in extra activities is just as important as studying textbooks. Firstly, clubs and sports teams teach us practical (实用的) skills that we cannot learn in classrooms. For example, when you join a football team, you can learn about teamwork and perseverance. When you become a member of the debate (辩论) club, you can improve your communication and critical (批判的) thinking skills. These are all important abilities for our future careers and personal lives. Moreover, these activities are a great way to reduce stress. After a long day of concentrating on (专注于) lessons, playing an instrument or drawing in an art club can help us relax and refresh our minds. A happy and healthy student is often a more efficient learner. All in all, a perfect school life should keep a balance between hard work and enjoyable activities. We should study hard and take part in various clubs and sports actively. They make our school days more colourful and help us become well-rounded individuals. 1. Which statement is TRUE in Paragraph 1? A．Academic subjects are not important. B．Extra activities are as important as academic studies. C．Students should only focus on sports. D．Parents only want students to have good grades. 2. According to the writer, what can a student learn from the debate club? A．Communication and critical thinking skills. B．Teamwork and perseverance. C．The ways to work hard and act well. D．A perfect school life. 3. What is one good point of extra activities in Paragraph 3? A．They help students get better grades in exams. B．They allow students to relax and refresh their minds. C．They help students make more money in the future. D．They make students concentrate on lessons for a long day. 4. What do the underlined words “well-rounded individuals” mean? A．People who are only good at sports. B．People who are only good at studying. C．People who have a variety of skills and experiences. D．People who have colourful schoolwork. Passage 12 （25-26八年级上·安徽淮北·期中）In a school garden in Ningxia, the roles of students are not the same as before. Here, students do the teaching. “This is our vegetable area,” a student from Grade 8 tells a visitor. “We have grown many kinds of vegetables.” “Look! These are tomatoes,” another student adds, “and those are carrots…” The two students have been working in the garden since 2021. They are part of their school’s gardening programme. Actually, most schools in Ningxia have their own gardens, where students harvest (收获) their special “schoolwork”. In the gardens, students work in teams with the help of their teachers. They finish all the important steps by themselves. For example, team members study what to grow. Then they discuss and plan their gardens. They plant seeds (种子), pull weeds and water their plants. Some students also grow oranges and apples by themselves. In autumn, they harvest their “schoolwork”—all kinds of fruits and vegetables! ★ too. For example, students study the plants they grow in science classes. Maths becomes a tool for planning the garden. Studies have shown that schools’ gardening programmes help students do better in school. Schools’ gardening programmes offer learning experiences as well as fun. Young gardeners can practise skills that are useful for all their lives. They’ve had fun working together as a team and learned how to work together. 1.
