From robotic arms controlled by smartphones to homemade candles scented with lavender, the faire was a celebration of creativity and innovation. Among the most popular exhibits was a solar-powered phone charger made by Grade 8 student, Leo. Leo used an old calculator’s solar panel, a discarded (废弃的) plastic box, and some wires he bought online. “It was challenging to connect the circuits correctly,” Leo admitted. “I failed three times before it finally worked. But seeing it charge my phone using only sunlight was the best feeling ever!” Nearby, a group of girls presented their “Upcycled Fashion” collection. They turned old jeans into stylish backpacks and worn-out T-shirts into colorful headbands. “We wanted to show that fashion doesn’t have to harm the environment,” said Emily, the team leader. Their booth attracted many visitors who wanted to learn how to transform their own old clothes. The faire wasn’t just about displaying finished products. There were interactive workshops where attendees could try soldering (焊接) simple circuits or making clay models. Mr. Harris, the organizer and physics teacher, said, “The goal is to inspire students to think critically and solve problems practically. In a world dominated by screens, hands-on activities remind us of the joy of making things with our own hands.” By the end of the day, the gymnasium was buzzing with excitement. Many students left not only with new ideas but also with a renewed confidence in their ability to create. The Maker Faire proved that with curiosity and perseverance, young minds can turn simple materials into extraordinary inventions. 31. What was the “Maker Faire” mainly about? A. Selling electronic devices. B. Displaying students’ DIY projects. C. Learning about solar energy. D. Collecting old clothes for charity. 32. What challenge did Leo face when making his charger? A.

They inspire critical thinking and problem-solving. D. They make learning physics easier. 35. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The faire was noisy and crowded. B.

His workshop is filled with various tools: hammers, screwdrivers, pliers, and even a small electric drill. Ben’s father, a carpenter, taught him how to use these tools safely when he was ten. Last month, Ben decided to build a birdhouse for the garden. He spent two weekends on the project. First, he drew a detailed plan on a piece of paper, labeling all the measurements. Then, he carefully selected some untreated cedar wood because it is durable and smells pleasant. Cutting the wood was tricky; he had to measure twice and cut once to avoid mistakes. Assembling the birdhouse was the most challenging part. He used nails and wood glue to join the pieces. When he accidentally hammered his thumb instead of the nail, he didn’t cry. Instead, he put on a bandage and continued working. “Persistence is key,” his father always said. After the birdhouse was built, Ben painted it with non-toxic, weather-resistant paint. He chose a bright red color so that it would be visible among the green leaves. He also added a small metal hook on top to hang it from a tree branch. Now, the birdhouse hangs proudly in the garden. Every morning, Ben watches from his window as sparrows fly in and out. He feels a great sense of achievement. His next project is to build a small bookshelf for his sister. Ben believes that learning practical skills is just as important as studying from textbooks. 56. Where is Ben’s workshop? 57. Who taught Ben how to use the tools? 58. Why did Ben choose cedar wood for the birdhouse? 59. What did Ben do when he hammered his thumb by mistake? 60. What will Ben’s next project probably be? 七、完成句子（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 根据汉语意思完成句子，每空一词。 61. 你最好不要把水倒得太满。 You _______ _______ _______ pour the water too full. 62. 我认为你可以尽可能经常地练习绘画。 I think you can practice painting _______ _______ _______ _______. 63. 你能帮我把这张纸折成花朵的形状吗？ Can you help me _______ the paper _______ the _______ of a flower? 64. 自己动手做是省钱和获得乐趣的好方法。 DIY is a good way _______ _______ money and _______ _______. 65. 让我们剪出这些形状，然后贴在卡片上吧。 Let’s _______ _______ these shapes and then _______ them _______ the card. 八、书面表达（共10分） 假设你是李华，在学校英语社团的“劳动最光荣”主题活动中，你需要向大家介绍你上周末完成的一个DIY作品——一个用废旧牛仔裤改造的笔袋。请根据以下提示写一篇发言稿： 1. 材料准备：一条旧牛仔裤、剪刀、针线、拉链（zipper）。 2. 制作过程： • 剪下裤腿的一块长方形布料； • 将布料反面朝外对折，缝合两边； • 缝上拉链，翻回正面。 3. 设计亮点：保留了牛仔裤的口袋作为装饰，环保实用。 4. 你的感受：虽然缝纫很难，但很有成就感。 要求： 1. 书写规范，表达清楚，语法正确，上下文连贯； 2. 词数90词左右； 3. 不得使用真实信息； 4. 发言稿开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 5. 参考词汇：denim n. 牛仔布；sew vt. 缝制；turn...inside out 翻到正面 Hello, everyone!

Today I’d like to share my DIY project from last weekend—a pencil case made from an old pair of jeans. First, I cut a rectangular piece from the trouser leg. Then, I folded it in half with the inside facing out and sewed up the two sides tightly. After that, I sewed a zipper on the top and carefully turned it inside out. The best part is that I kept the original pocket as a decoration—it’s perfect for holding small erasers! Although sewing was a bit difficult and I pricked my finger once, I felt extremely proud when I finished it. It’s not only eco-friendly but also very practical. I hope my experience inspires you to try DIY too! That’s all. Thanks for listening! 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
