Recently, we had an online vote on this topic. Let’s look at the results!

That would save more money to make more movies and TV shows. ·Reason 3: AI actors could be made to look like anyone, even real people from history. ·Reason 4: AI actors can do hard and dangerous actions more easily. They can jump from tall buildings without getting hurt. Comments In my view, both the AI actors and the real actors are good. Real actors have real emotions (情感). It makes movies more touching. And AI can help with difficult parts. I think the discussion is meaningful. Real actors can perform more naturally, and AI actors can work for longer hours. We can find a balance between them. 1.

Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an advantage of AI actors in the passage? A. They never get tired or sick. B. They have real emotions. C. They can do dangerous actions easily. D. They are cheaper than real actors. 4. In which part of a website can we read the page? A. Story. B. Travel. C. Nature. D. Technology. B A simple letter can carry great meaning that lasts for years and crosses oceans. This idea lies at the heart of Dear You (《给阿嬷的情书》), a heartwarming film that has become popular recently. Filmed almost entirely in the Chaoshan dialect (方言), this moving drama has touched the hearts of millions, especially young viewers. The story is about a family discovery. A grandson travels to Thailand to find out why his grandfather left China decades ago and never returned. There, he uncovers a touching secret: a Thai-Chinese woman had been secretly writing letters and sending money to his grandmother in his grandfather’s name for 18 years to keep a promise. Through this personal journey, the film shows the rich cultural importance of Qiaopi. Qiaopi, also known as “silver letters,” is far more than a letter with money sent by overseas Chinese to their families back home. It is a special cultural carrier that shows the spirit of Chaoshan ancestors (祖先), who were brave, hard-working and sincere. During the 19th and 20th centuries, many Chaoshan people traveled to Southeast Asia for a better life. In an age without convenient communication, these letters became their only “lifeline” to their hometown and families. The film has received high praise for its true social background. It beautifully shows Chaoshan traditions, such as Gongfu tea and the colorful Yingge Dance. However, what really makes audiences cry is the strength of the women in the story. They showed deep-rooted loyalty and love that could cross oceans. Today, many young people live a fast-paced life and often communicate through instant messages. This movie encourages them to slow down and listen to the stories of older generations. As one viewer said, “It reminds us that behind every elderly person, there was once a story of youth, passion, and deep love.” 5. Why did the Thai-Chinese woman secretly write letters to the grandmother? A. To practice her Chinese writing skills. B. To keep a promise and comfort the grandmother. C. To make money from the grandmother’s family. D. To prevent the grandfather from leaving Thailand. 6. Which short poem best expresses the value of Qiaopi? A. Silver in hand, worries fly away. B. Travel far, never forget your friends. C. Money brings happiness, never apart. D. A letter across oceans, a bridge between us. 7. What is the main reason that makes the audience cry? A. The strength, loyalty, and love of the women. B. The true social background and rich traditions. C. The difficulty of fighting for a better life abroad. D. The beautiful scenery and culture of Southeast Asia. 8. What is the main message the movie wants to tell young people today? A. To invite them to move back to their hometowns. B. To encourage them to keep living a fast-paced life. C. To attract them to pay more attention to Chaoshan traditions. D. To remind them to slow down and listen to older generations. C When I was a little girl, I always looked up to my mom. She is a doctor and spends most of her time helping sick people. Every night, she comes home late but still smiles and asks me about my day. At that time, I thought growing up was easy—I just needed to get taller and older, and then I could be as great as my mom. As I entered Grade Eight, I started to understand that growing up is more than just getting older. Last term, my mom was very busy with a big medical project. She even had to work on weekends. One Sunday afternoon, I saw her sitting on the sofa, looking tired. I went to the kitchen, boiled a cup of hot milk for her, and helped her massage her shoulders. When she held my hand and said “Thank you, my sweet girl. You’ve grown up”, I felt a warm feeling in my heart. From then on, I tried to do more things for my family. I cleaned my room by myself, helped my dad wash the dishes, and even took care of my little brother when my parents were out. I also worked harder at school, because I knew growing up means being responsible. I no longer ask my parents to do everything for me. Instead, I try to solve problems on my own. Now, I know that growing up is not about age, but about becoming a better person. It means caring for others, taking responsibility, and trying our best to make our dreams come true. My dream is to be a doctor like my mom. I will keep working hard and I believe one day, I will grow up into the person I want to be. 9. What did the writer think of growing up when she was little? A. It meant being a doctor. B. It was difficult and tiring. C. It meant taking care of her family. D. It was easy and just about getting taller and older. 10. Why was the writer’s mom very busy last term? A. Because she had to work at school. B. Because she was ill and needed to rest. C. Because she was busy with a big medical project. D. Because she had to take care of the writer’s little brother. 11. What does the underlined word “responsible” mean in Chinese? A. 有心的 B. 有责任心的 C. 有用的 D. 有效的 12. What does the writer think growing up means now? A. It means getting taller and older. B. It means being a doctor like her mom. C. It means doing nothing but study hard at school. D. It means caring for others, being responsible and working hard for dreams. D A new study suggests that horses can smell human fear. Researchers believe that when people are scared, horses may sense it through their body smell. This finding could be important to riders, trainers, and anyone else who works closely with horses. In the study, scientists collected sweat (汗水) from volunteers who had just watched either a scary movie or a happy film. They then placed cotton pads containing these sweat samples (样本) near the horses’ noses. The results showed clear differences in how the horses reacted. When exposed to (暴露于) the “fear sweat”, the horses were more easily startled, had faster heart rates, and were less likely to get close to their handlers (驯养员) compared to when they smelt sweat from people who had watched joyful scenes. The researchers explain that this may mean fear can spread between humans and horses. Just as humans can sense each other’s emotions (情绪), horses might pick up on human fear through smell, which acts as a warning signal. One researcher noted, “Unconsciously, we can pass our emotions to animals, and this can strongly affect how they feel in return.” Smell is a very basic and powerful sense used for communication. While most research looks at how animals of the same species communicate through smell—like finding a mate, this study shows that scent (气味) signals can also cross species lines. Horses, it seems, can notice emotional changes in humans through body smell. The researchers advise that people who work with horses should be aware of their own emotions. Arriving in a relaxed and positive mood can lead to better interactions (互动) with the horse. If a person is afraid, the horse may also become fearful and react more strongly in a new or uncertain situation. This study just highlights how closely connected humans and animals can be. 13. How does the writer start the text? A. By telling a story about a horse. B. By asking a question about animals. C. By describing a scientific experiment. D. By introducing a new research finding. 14. What does the underlined word “startled” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Calm and quiet. B. Tired and sleepy. C. Excited and happy. D. Surprised and frightened. 15. When people work with horses, they should ________. A. communicate with horses first B. watch happy movies before working C. manage their own feelings D. avoid showing any feelings to horses 16. What is the main idea of the text? A. Horses can understand human language easily. B. Horses can feel human fear through smell. C. Horses communicate with each other by smell. D. People should keep away from startled horses. 第二节 When you use a knife and fork, you have to take the knife with your right hand and the fork with your left hand.

This is called active listening, a great way to understand others’ feelings and build trust. The meaning of active listening Active listening means listening to people carefully. It also means watching their body language, like facial (面部的) expressions or gestures (手势), to understand how they feel. Annie, an 11-year-old reader of Week Junior, explains what it means to her, “When my friends tell me something important, I listen to what they are trying to say. I can tell whether they’re upset or happy by their voices and facial expressions. This makes me feel like I understand them better.” The reasons for being active listeners When you listen to your friends without cutting in or giving your own opinions, it shows that you value what they’re saying—even when you don’t agree. This not only helps avoid mistakes but also strengthens (加强) friendships. Samaritans is a charity (慈善机构) that supports people by listening to their worries. It says, “Listening to people makes them feel valued and understood.” The ways to be active listeners Listen to your friends carefully, and avoid jumping in with your own thoughts and feelings. If you really want to talk, Samaritans suggests making a listening sign instead, like nodding your head. Besides, ask questions or say things that need more than a “yes” or “no” as the answer. At the same time, pay attention to their facial expressions and body language. Remember: Active listening takes practice. 41. What else does active listening mean besides listening carefully? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 42. How can Annie tell whether her friends are upset or happy? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 43. What are the benefits of active listening? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 44. Do you think active listening is important in your life? Why or why not? Write 30 words or more. ____________________________________________________________________________________ 五、书面表达（满分20分） 45. 假设你是李辉，你校计划于本周五举行 “名著读书会” (Classic Reading)，请你给你校交换生John写一封邮件，邀请他参加。内容包括： (1)活动的时间和地点； (2)活动的内容； (3)期待参加。 注意： (1)词数为80～100,开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； (2)可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； (3)邮件中不能出现真实姓名及学校名称。 Dear John, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hui 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年度第二学期期末学情质量调研 八年级 英语 注意事项： 1．请在答题卡上作答，在试卷上作答无效。 2．本试卷共五大题，45小题，满分90分，考试时间为90分钟。 第一部分 选择题（共50分） 一．阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分） 第一节 阅读下面语言材料，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Is the use of AI actors a good idea?

This is called active listening, a great way to understand others’ feelings and build trust. The meaning of active listening Active listening means listening to people carefully. It also means watching their body language, like facial (面部的) expressions or gestures (手势), to understand how they feel. Annie, an 11-year-old reader of Week Junior, explains what it means to her, “When my friends tell me something important, I listen to what they are trying to say. I can tell whether they’re upset or happy by their voices and facial expressions. This makes me feel like I understand them better.” The reasons for being active listeners When you listen to your friends without cutting in or giving your own opinions, it shows that you value what they’re saying—even when you don’t agree. This not only helps avoid mistakes but also strengthens (加强) friendships. Samaritans is a charity (慈善机构) that supports people by listening to their worries. It says, “Listening to people makes them feel valued and understood.” The ways to be active listeners Listen to your friends carefully, and avoid jumping in with your own thoughts and feelings. If you really want to talk, Samaritans suggests making a listening sign instead, like nodding your head. Besides, ask questions or say things that need more than a “yes” or “no” as the answer. At the same time, pay attention to their facial expressions and body language. Remember: Active listening takes practice. 41.

It helps avoid mistakes, strengthens friendships and makes people feel valued and understood. 44. Yes, I think active listening is very important in my life. It helps me truly understand my friends’feelings and makes them feel respected and valued. By listening patiently, I build deeper trust and closer relationships with people around me. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了积极倾听的定义、成为积极倾听者的原因以及成为积极倾听者的方法。 【41题详解】 根据文章第二段“It also means watching their body language”，积极倾听除了仔细听之外还意味着观察肢体语言。 【42题详解】 根据文章第二段“I can tell whether they're upset or happy by their voices and facial expressions”，Annie是通过声音和面部表情来判断的。 【43题详解】 根据文章第三段“This not only helps avoid mistakes but also strengthens friendships”及“Listening to people makes them feel valued and understood”，积极倾听的好处包括避免错误、加强友谊和让人感到被重视。 【44题详解】 根据文章第一段“a great way to understand others'feelings and build trust”可知，积极倾听有助于建立信任和理解。开放性试题，答案合理且符合字数要求即可。 五、书面表达（满分20分） 45. 假设你是李辉，你校计划于本周五举行 “名著读书会” (Classic Reading)，请你给你校交换生John写一封邮件，邀请他参加。内容包括： (1)活动的时间和地点； (2)活动的内容； (3)期待参加。 注意： (1)词数为80～100,开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； (2)可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； (3)邮件中不能出现真实姓名及学校名称。 Dear John, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hui 【答案】例文 Dear John, I am more than glad to tell you that our school will hold an interesting activity this week.
