专题04 阅读理解（说明文） 主题语境01 人与社会-文化 Passage 1 （25-26八上·浙江绍兴柯桥区实验中学-11月·期中） ① Major Snow, the 21st solar term of the year, falls on 7th Dec. this year. It means the beginning of midwinter. During Major Snow, the temperature falls greatly and there may be more snowy days. ② The arrival of snow brings colour to the cold days. The snow in North China may go on for a whole day while snow doesn’t happen a lot in the South. ③ The natural scenery is “Hundreds of leagues ice-bound go; For thousands of miles the snow flies. —By Mao Zedong”, and “From hill to hill no bird in flight; From path to path no man in sight. —By Liu Zongyuan”. In the South, snowflakes fly around and the world turns white. ④ As a Chinese saying goes, “A timely snow promises a good harvest.” Most farmers welcome snow because snow can protect crops and keep the fields warm. Even if it melts, it can give enough water for the crops in spring. ⑤ The snowy season is good for skiing and skating. In northern China, there are many places for natural snow and ice. For example, Heilongjiang and Jilin Provinces often have big snow in November. People can go to the icy lakes to play ice sports. And people in the South may have man-made skating fields to enjoy winter activities. ⑥ People have lots of fun in the snowy season, but they should pay attention to respiratory diseases (呼吸道疾病).

Many people believe that tea was first drunk about 5,000 years ago. It is said that a Chinese ruler (统治者) called Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as a drink. One day Shen Nong was boiling drinking water over an open fire. Some leaves from a tea plant fell into the water and remained there for some time. He noticed the water had turned brown and produced a pleasant smell. He couldn’t help tasting it. It was quite delicious, and so, one of the world’s favorite drinks was invented. A few thousand years later, Lu Yu, “the saint of tea”, talked about Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea. It also discusses where the finest tea leaves were produced and what kinds of water were used. It is believed that the Chinese brought tea to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In England, tea didn’t appear until around 1660, but in less than 100 years, it had become the national drink. The tea trade (贸易) from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. This helped to spread (传播) the popularity of tea and the tea plants to more places around the world. Even though many people now know about tea culture, the Chinese still understand the nature of tea the best. 1.How did Shen Nong discover tea? A. He learned it from “the saint of tea”. B. He read about it in an old book. C. He found it when he was boiling water. D. He discovered it through his research. 2.What is Cha Jing mainly about? A. The amazing experiences of Shen Nong. B. The tea trade between different countries. C. The long and rich history of Chinese tea. D. The way to grow tea plants and make tea. 3.When did tea become the national drink in England? A. In the 19th century. B. About 5,000 years ago. C. From around 1660 to 1760. D. During the 6th and 7th centuries. 4.Why does the writer talk about Shen Nong, Lu Yu, and the tea trade? A. To show that English tea culture is the best. B. To suggest that tea was once only for rulers. C. To explain why tea is popular around the world. D. To introduce the key steps of tea’s development. 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. C　4.

Do you ever try a “take-out PE class”? This new kind of service (服务) was popular during this summer vacation. To have a “take-out PE class”, you order it on apps. The PE teacher will then come with all the things needed for the exercise. The classes have simple fitness (健身) training and sports like basketball and tennis. One-on-one lessons usually cost 200 to 400 yuan, Guangming Daily reported. “It’s so convenient (方便的),” said Mrs Wang whose child is in 3rd grade. She used to spend an hour taking her child to the gym. “Now, the PE teacher comes to the open area of our neighborhood, and I can watch from the balcony,” she said. “Take-out PE classes” are not only convenient, but also helpful. “Before, my child often fell down when jumping rope. After three weeks of classes, he improved from 120 jumps a minute to 160,” Wang said. The teacher makes a special plan for each child. This is more helpful than big classes. But this new service also has problems. The Paper reported that most classes are in public (公共的) places like squares or parks. The ground is often too hard for running and jumping. In addition, many people walk by, and sometimes cars pass through. This can be dangerous. Many parents who order the classes have children preparing for high school entrance exams (中考). This is an “exam-first” way of thinking, which has changed the true meaning of exercise, noted Xinhua. 1.What mainly makes “Take-out PE class” different from other PE classes? A. The kind of sports. B. The price of each class. C. The class place. D. The teaching ways. 2.Why does Mrs Wang think “take-out PE classes” are helpful? A. Each child has their own training plan. B.

The service can’t reach every place. C. They are only for children, not parents. D. Exercising in public places can be dangerous. 4.What does Xinhua mean in the last paragraph? A. “Take-out PE classes” have many problems. B. Students should exercise for their health. C. Exercise is more important than anything else.

People have talked about it a lot online these days. The ideas come from a popular personality test called MBTI. “I” means introverted and “I” people are usually quiet and shy, while “E” means extroverted. To learn more about it, let’s hear from the following two students. ②Andy, an extrovert I enjoy trying new things and playing with many friends. Ken and I go to the beach on Saturdays to surf, and on Sundays, I hang out with Tom, eating and riding. At school, Larry is my best friend. I don’t spend much time with him over the weekends because he likes to play video games at home just by himself. I’m cool with it because I can visit other friends. I value his friendship a lot because Larry cares about me and often gives great advice to my problems. ③Anna, an introvert I think nothing is more enjoyable than staying on my own with a great book in hand. However, I do also need time with my two best friends, Sue and Tina. Sue is so full of life that her jokes bring much joy to my quiet days. Tina is more like me and she understands me better than I do. We often take a long walk to share our feelings. I love both my friends and need their different personalities to make my life colorful. ④From Andy and Anna, extroverts and introverts can be friends and also need friends with different personalities. So start to make different friends and enjoy the special friendship! 1.What does the underlined word “extroverted” mean in the first paragraph? A. Serious. B. Outgoing. C. Strict. D. Shy. 2.What does Andy do on Saturdays with Ken? A. Goes to the beach to surf. B. Eats and rides bikes. C. Plays the video games. D. Takes a long walk. 3.What is the purpose of mentioning Sue and Tina in Paragraph 3? A. To show that Anna has two similar friends. B. To explain that Anna enjoys quiet reading. C. To describe how Anna studies with friends. D. To tell that Anna dislikes being alone much. 4.What’s the structure of the text? A. B. C. D. 【答案】1. B　2. A　3. D　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文通过Andy和Anna的例子介绍了外向型（E）和内向型（I）人格的特点及其交友方式。 (1)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据“while ‘E’ means extroverted”与前文“I” means introverted and “I” people are usually quiet and shy”对比可知，extroverted与内向安静相反，意为“外向的”。故选B。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“Ken and I go to the beach on Saturdays to surf”可知，Andy周六和Ken去海滩冲浪。故选A。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据“However, I do also need time with my two best friends, Sue and Tina...I love both my friends and need their different personalities to make my life colorful.”可知，提到Sue和Tina是为了说明Anna需要不同性格的朋友来让自己的生活丰富多彩，这说明，尽管她是内向的人，但仍然重视友谊、需要陪伴，并非完全喜欢独处。故选D。 (4)题解析： 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，文章结构为：①段引出话题；②③段分别介绍外向者Andy和内向者Anna的特点与交友；④段总结不同性格者可以成为朋友。因此结构是总—分—总。故选C。 Passage 2 （25-26八上·浙江温州第三中学·期中）Have you ever wondered why you and your friends are so different? Maybe you love big parties, but your best friend prefers reading a book alone. This is all about personality (性格). MBTI is a popular tool to help us understand these differences. It doesn’t test how smart you are, it just describes how you get your energy, take in information, make decisions, and deal with the outside world. The test puts people into 16 different personalities, made from four letters. For example, the first letter can be “E” or “I”. An “E” (Extrovert) often feels energetic around people. An “I” (Introvert) usually gets their energy from spending time alone. The second letter is about how you take in information. An “S” (Sensing) person trusts facts and details, while an “N” (Intuitive) person is more interested in ideas and future possibilities. So, someone might be an “ESFP” or an “INTJ”. Each type (类型) has its own strengths. Knowing your MBTI type can be fun and helpful. It can help you understand yourself better, see why others act the way they do, and improve your communication. However, it’s very important to remember that MBTI is not the only way to understand personality. It’s just a fun way to start thinking about personality, but we should never use it to judge (评判) others or put them in a small box. It is common for us to be different from others, and that’s what makes the world interesting. 1.How does the writer introduce the topic? A. By telling stories. B. By asking a question. C. By listing numbers. D. By showing feelings. 2.What does the first letter in an MBTI type (E or I) show according to the passage? A. How smart a person is. B. How a person gets energy. C. How a person gets information. D. How a person makes decisions. 3.Who is an “N” person? A. Tony prefers working with facts. B. Jackson is energetic in big parties. C. Sarah likes thinking about new ideas. D. Mary gets her energy from being alone. 4.What is the best title for this passage? A. A Fun Guide to Personalities B. The Science of Being Smart C. Why We Are All So Different D. How to Change Your Personality 【答案】1. B　2. B　3. C　4. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了MBTI这一流行的性格分析工具，解释了其四个字母维度的含义、作用，同时提醒人们它只是理解性格的一种有趣方式，不应以此评判他人。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“Have you ever wondered why you and your friends are so different?”可知，作者通过提出一个问题引入主题。故选B。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“the first letter can be ‘E’ or ‘I’.

An ‘I’ (Introvert) usually gets their energy from spending time alone.”可知，MBTI类型中的第一个字母 (E或I) 表明一个人如何获取能量。故选B。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“an ‘N’ (Intuitive) person is more interested in ideas and future possibilities.”可知，“N”型人对想法和未来的可能性更感兴趣，Sarah喜欢思考新想法符合这一描述。故选C。 (4)题解析： 最佳标题题。根据“MBTI is a popular tool to help us understand these differences.”及“Knowing your MBTI type can be fun and helpful.”及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了MBTI这一帮助理解性格差异的有趣工具，围绕性格相关内容展开。“趣味的性格指南” 精准概括主旨，为最佳标题。故选A。 主题语境06 人与自我-学校活动 Passage 1 It is necessary for students to learn some team skills like developing relationships, communicating well with others and solving problems.

It is for children to go into the lonely (荒凉的) place for exciting activities, and their parents don’t go with them. During the activities, other grown-ups are not around them either. Many parents like “survival holidays” because they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend most time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival holidays” can make a big difference to their life. Is “survival holidays” a great idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. And they need to be on their own. Parents like to see their children join in activities, but they think the activities should be controlled (被控制) by grown-ups. Children don’t know what to do when they meet difficulties. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard thing. Children usually don’t know what to do in face of danger. Even small danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them. The survival activities are good for children. Even years later they will still remember what they learned.

When we go on vacation, we get more time to relax. The change of the environment helps us forget about terrible things in our daily life. This can lower our blood pressure (降低我们的血压) and improve our sleep. A study showed that people who took regular vacations were 30% less likely to get sick. Vacations also let us explore new places and cultures. We can try different delicious foods, learn about local traditions, and meet people from different places. These experiences help us see the world differently, which makes us know more and makes our life colourful. Even small things, like reading a map in a foreign city or ordering food in another language, can teach us problem-solving skills. What’s more, spending time with family and friends during vacations improves our relationships. In our busy lives, we spend most of our time studying or working. During vacations, we have more time to share stories and create memories together. This can bring us closer. Some people even find that vacations help them understand their loved ones better. In short, vacations are not just enjoyable—they are important for a balanced and healthy life. So, choose a beach holiday, a mountain hike, or a city break; pack up your clothes and set out. You will rest, grow, and come back with great energy. 1.Which can help people get problem-solving skills according to the text? A. Cooking at home. B. Using a map in another country. C.

Suddenly, the tomato starts to shout! Don’t worry! This thing would never really happen. But new research (研究) showed that plants make sounds when they are stressed (有压力的). “Plants make sounds to communicate with insects and other animals all the time,” said Lilach Hadany, the researcher of the study, “but those sounds can’t be heard by humans’ ears.” With this in mind, the team started the research by recording the plants’ sounds. First, the team made a smart machine to record the sounds of plants and help them understand these sounds. Then they divided plants into three groups: one group wasn’t watered for five days, another group had the stems (茎) cut off and the last group was untouched for five days. The result showed that untouched plants stayed quiet, but in other two groups, these plants made sounds up to 40 clicks every hour. More interestingly, thirsty plants made louder and louder sounds at the beginning, with the loudest sounds when they were very thirsty, then lower as they died. This result helps us better understand how plants manage stress and how they communicate with the world around them. It can also help farmers to tell which plant is thirsty, which one is hurt or which one is healthy, so that they can water them in time or protect them from disease. Scientists are still working on inventing machines to help farmers to understand their plants better. They also wonder if the plants make sounds because of other reasons. 1.How does the writer start the text? A. By describing a loud tomato scene. B. By imagining a pleasant tomato scene. C. By creating a terrible tomato story. D. By explaining sounds made by plants. 2.What do we know about the research team? A. They bought a machine to record the plants’ sounds. B. They watered one group of plants for five days. C. They understood the plants’ sounds by themselves. D. They didn’t touch one group of plants for five days. 3.Which is most like the sound wave of the thirsty plant? (s=sound wave t=time) A. B. C. D. 4.What is the best title of the text? A. The Secret Sounds of Plants B. Machines That Talk to Plants C. How Plants Grow in Sound D. Secret Conversation in Nature 【答案】1. A　2. D　3. C　4. A 【解析】【导语】 本文介绍了一项关于植物在受到压力时发出声音的最新研究。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“Think about this: you sit down and begin to eat a tomato. Suddenly, the tomato starts to shout!”可知，作者通过描述一个番茄大声叫喊的场景来引出话题。故选A。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“the last group was untouched for five days.”可知，研究团队中有一组植物五天未被触碰。故选D。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据“thirsty plants made louder and louder sounds at the beginning, with the loudest sounds when they were very thirsty, then lower as they died.”可知，缺水植物的声音先逐渐变大（达到最渴时最大），随后死亡时降低。图C显示声波先增强后减弱，符合描述。故选C。 (4)题解析： 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章主要揭示了植物在压力下发出声音的秘密。故选A。 Passage 3 （25-26八上·浙江绍兴诸暨市暨阳初中学-11月·期中）Recently, many people think it’s risky to use credit (信用) card numbers online. However, from time to time, we all use passwords and ID numbers on the Internet. We think we are safe, but that may not be true. A new kind of attack (攻击) is being used by dishonest people to steal IDs and credit card numbers from web surfers. This new kind of attack is called “phishing”. Phishing sounds the same as the word “fishing”, and it means that a thief is trying to trick people into giving away valuable information. Like real fishermen, phishers use bait (诱饵) in the form of great online deals or services. For example, phishers might use false emails and websites to trick people into revealing (透露) credit card numbers, account usernames, and passwords. They imitate (模仿) well-known banks, online sellers, and credit card companies. Successful phishers may make as many as 5% of people believe and give away their personal information. It’s really a big problem! Actually, tricking 5% of the online population is huge. Now more than 4.6 billion people have access (进入权) to the Internet, and 75% of those Internet users live in the richest countries on Earth. It has been reported that phishers send more than 40 billion false messages each year. Even by tricking only 5% of the people, phishers can make a lot of money. Amy, 18, from California, received an email. A man told Amy that she could get a million dollars in her account as a reward if she sent a thousand dollars to him. Amy did as the man said at once. The “thief” used Amy’s Social Security number to get credit cards in her name and transferred her money. How can people avoid being cheated online? Above all, they have to learn to recognize the email that has been sent by a phisher. Always be careful with any email with urgent (紧急的) requests for personal information. Phishers typically write upsetting or exciting, but false, statements in their emails so that people will reply right away. Never give out personal information to phishers. And if an offer sounds too good to be true, it is. 1.Phishing is compared to ________ according to the passage. A. making money B. playing games C. catching fish D. writing emails 2.Which writing skill is used in Para. 3? A. Giving examples. B. Listing numbers. C. Raising questions. D. Using sayings. 3.Which of the following in the dictionary best explains the underlined word “transferred” in Para. 4? A. to move from one place, school, job etc to another B. to connect the call of someone to someone else’s C. to move money from one account to another D. to change from one bus, plane etc to another 4.Besides introducing what phishing is, the writer also tells us how to ________. A. Help to catch phishers B. reply to urgent emails C. Pay by credit card D. protect ourselves online 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. C　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文主要是让读者了解网络钓鱼的诈骗模式，重视其危害，并掌握基本的在线自我保护方法。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“Phishing sounds the same as the word “fishing”, and it means that a thief is trying to trick people into giving away valuable information.”可知，骗子像渔夫一样用“诱饵”骗取信息，因此将钓鱼攻击比作“捕鱼”。故选C。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“tricking 5% of the online population is huge. Now more than 4.6 billion people have access (进入权) to the Internet, and 75% of those Internet users...more than 40 billion false messages each year. Even by tricking only 5%”可知，第三段使用大量数据说明问题严重性。故选B。 (3)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据“The “thief” used Amy’s Social Security number to get credit cards in her name and transferred her money.”可知，文章围绕“信用卡、账户、金钱”展开，“transferred”的对象是“her money”，因此语义必然与“金钱处置”相关，小偷用艾米的社保号办理了以她名义的信用卡，并转移了她的钱。故选C。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据“How can people avoid being cheated?”以及最后一段的内容可知，作者具体给出识别诈骗邮件、警惕紧急信息请求、不泄露个人信息等建议，因此作者还告诉我们如何“在线自我保护”。故选D。 Passage 4 （25-26八上·浙江金华义乌绣湖中学·期中）It’s a normal day at school. You’re playing soccer with your friends. One of them kicks you the ball and you fall hard to the ground! The next moment, you’re in the nurse’s office, where a robot checks your bleeding nose with laser sensors (激光传感器)? Has the nurse’s office been taken over by sci-fi aliens (外星人)? No. You’ve just jumped 15 years into the future. And it’s a future that Susan Epstein, a computer science professor who teaches AI, is really excited to think about. “I am crazy about this kind of thing! You could go up to the robot, put your nose in, and the machine would decide whether you needed to be treated, and how.” Besides being cool, an AI nurse has other advantages. It doesn’t need to take vacations. It doesn’t need to get paid. And it might find out what’s wrong with your nose faster than a human would. There are all kinds of ways that AI could be used to help make us healthier, and researchers are studying how to use AI to diagnose (诊断) lung disease, cancer, and more. Our robot nurse doesn’t want to completely take the place of humans, though. “It would work with real, live nurses and doctors,” says Epstein, “there are things humans are good at, like building trust among people or comforting patients. A big part of medicine is the relationship between a doctor and a patient.” Epstein points out that AI programs will never be perfect—no matter how much we might want them to be. But if AI can diagnose a deadly disease more precisely (精确地) even 10 percent of the time, think of how many lives it could save. “Besides”, says Epstein, “I think there are probably patients who might prefer to have a machine for a doctor!” Would you? 1.What’s the function (作用) of Para 1? A. To lead to the topic of the text. B. To introduce a scientific study. C. To give an example for an argument. D. To describe an experience of the writer. 2.What can we learn from Epstein’s words in Para 4? A. The doctor-patient relationship is disappearing. B. AI doctors can treat most diseases by themselves. C. Humans are better at treating patients than AI doctors. D. Patients’ trust in doctors may influence their treatments . 3.What is true about AI doctors and nurses according to the text? A. They are life-saving if properly used. B. They will take over humans. C. Their biggest strength is being cool. D. They are better at trust-building. 4.What’s Epstein’s attitude towards AI doctors and nurses? A. Worried. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive. 【答案】1. A　2. D　3. A　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了未来AI护士/医生的功能、优势，说明其不会完全取代人类医护人员，且AI若合理使用可挽救生命，同时表达了Epstein对AI医护的支持态度。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据“The next moment, you’re in the nurse’s office, where a robot checks your bleeding nose with laser sensors (激光传感器)?”可知，第一段通过描述“未来学校护士办公室中机器人为学生检查流鼻血”的场景，引出下文对AI护士的讨论，第一段的作用是引出文章主题。故选A。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“there are things humans are good at, like building trust among people or comforting patients. A big part of medicine is the relationship between a doctor and a patient.”可知，人类擅长建立人与人之间的信任或安慰病人，而医患关系是医学的重要组成部分，由此可推知患者对医生的信任可能会影响治疗。故选D。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“But if AI can diagnose a deadly disease more precisely (精确地) even 10 percent of the time, think of how many lives it could save.”可知，如果AI能更精确地诊断致命疾病（即使只有10%的概率），也能挽救很多生命，即AI医生和护士如果使用得当可以救人。故选A。 (4)题解析： 观点态度题。根据“And it’s a future that Susan Epstein... is really excited to think about. ‘I am crazy about this kind of thing!’”以及第五段对AI能挽救生命的肯定可知，Epstein对AI医生和护士的态度是支持的。故选D。 Passage 5 （25-26八上·浙江温州第三中学·期中）Before the 1930s, there weren’t any shopping carts because nobody needed them. Without fridges, people bought a day’s food at a time, usually at different stores, such as fish shops, vegetable shops and meat shops. The rise of the supermarket changed all that. Sylvan Goldman had many supermarkets in Oklahoma City. He noticed that when customers in his stores used handheld baskets, they often stopped shopping when the baskets became too full or too heavy. He wanted to change this. He told his workers to give another basket to people whose baskets were full. However, it was not a good way. He decided to find something better. One evening in 1936, the idea came as Goldman worked late in his office. He looked at a folding (折叠) chair and had the idea of replacing the seat with two shelves-one higher and one lower than the seat’s usual position—and adding wheels (轮子) to the legs. The shelves would hold shopping baskets, which could be taken off when not in use. After several tries, Goldman built some carts and introduced them in his stores. However, they were not popular with customers. Goldman didn’t give up and had people of all ages pose as (假扮) customers and use the carts. It worked, and customers began to give them a try. Within a few years, shopping carts were everywhere. 1.What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. The prices were much lower at that time. B. Nobody wanted to use shopping carts then. C. People couldn’t buy all they needed in one store. D. There were many supermarkets before the 1930s. 2.When did Goldman start using carts in his stores? A. In 1930. B. In 1936. C. In 1937. D.

In Beijing, China, this really happened! Robots that look like humans played a 3-on-3 soccer game. What was special was that they were fully autonomous. This means no one used a remote control (遥控器) to move them. The robots used their own “computer brains” to think, make decisions, and play the game. It was a new and exciting event that mixed technology with the fun of sports. The game took place on a small field. The robots had advanced sensors (传感器), like special eyes, that helped them see the ball and know where to go. But playing soccer is hard, even for smart robots! They often fell down when they tried to run or kick the ball. They ran into each other and sometimes missed their shots completely. These moments were very funny. When a robot fell and couldn’t get up, workers had to carry it away on a stretcher (担架). It looked just like a real soccer player getting hurt! People laughed and cheered for the robots’ success and their funny mistakes. These accidents (意外) made the game full of joy. It was like watching a movie about the future. This event was not just for fun, though. It was also a way to test and improve AI technology. It shows how robots can learn to work together and solve problems in a fast-moving game. This robot soccer match lets us see our bright future. It shows how far technology has come, but also that robots still have a lot to learn before they can play like human stars. It was a playful look at a future where robots might share the field with us one day. 1.What does “autonomous” mean in Paragraph 1? A. Robots look like humans. B. Robots can play by themselves. C. Robots make the game exciting. D. Robots can follow humans’ instructions. 2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. People held this game just for fun. B. Robots could play soccer better than humans. C. Robots didn’t make mistakes during the game. D. Workers carried robots away if they couldn’t get up. 3.What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To describe funny moments in the game. B. To compare robot players with human players. C. To introduce a game and show the future of AI. D. To talk about the rules of the robot soccer game. 【答案】1. B　2. D　3. C 【解析】【导语】 本文主要讲述了外形像人类的机器人进行了一场3对3的自主足球比赛，介绍了比赛情况、机器人的表现以及该活动的意义等。 (1)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据“This means no one used a remote control (遥控器) to move them. The robots used their own ‘computer brains’ to think, make decisions, and play the game.”可知，没有人用遥控器操控它们，机器人用自己的电脑大脑思考、做决定和玩游戏，即机器人可以自己玩，所以“autonomous”的意思是机器人可以自主行动，即：自己踢足球。故选B。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“When a robot fell and couldn’t get up, workers had to carry it away on a stretcher (担架).”可知，如果机器人摔倒起不来，工作人员会把它抬走，所以选项D正确。故选D。 (3)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了一场机器人足球比赛，介绍了比赛情况，还提到这个活动也是测试和改进人工智能技术的一种方式，展示了人工智能的未来，所以本文主要目的是介绍一场比赛并展示人工智能的未来。故选C。 Passage 7 （25-26八上·浙江初中名校发展共同体·期中） Mount Tai is one of the most famous mountains in China. Every year, millions of tourists visit it. But the mountain has steep and rocky paths (路径). People can only climb up and down on these narrow (狭窄的) roads. For many years, workers called “porters” (搬运工) carried heavy things like food, water, and rubbish. They worked very hard because the paths were difficult. The porters sweated and walked slowly, step by step. In 2023, over 8.62 million tourists came to Mount Tai. This created a big problem: about 24,000 tons of rubbish every year! Cleaning and moving the rubbish is not easy. Cableways (索道) can help at the start and end of the mountain, but the middle part still needs workers. However, fewer people want to do this hard job now. Now a new helper has come: a “smart porter” robot dog! This robot dog can carry heavy things on its back. It has four strong legs that move just like a real dog’s. There are cameras (摄像头) on its “head” that can “see” the way, and smart chips (芯片) inside help it think and decide. It walks on the rocky paths just like people. The robot dog doesn’t get tired and can work all day. It helps the porters by carrying rubbish down the mountain. Now, porters can spend less time on heavy lifting and more time on other important things, like keeping an eye on the mountain’s environment (环境). This makes the work faster and safer. Scientists believe these robot helpers are very important. “The smart robot dog doesn’t just carry rubbish. It helps make visiting special mountains like Tai safer,” says Dr. Lin Wei, who works on the project. “By using machines for the hardest work, we protect both workers and nature. This helps keep the mountain beautiful for a long time.” With this technology (科技), Mount Tai can stay clean, letting many visitors enjoy it while protecting it for the future. 1.What does the underlined phrase “steep and rocky” mean in Paragraph 1? A. Big and clean. B. Pleasant and clear. C. Easy to walk on. D. Hard to climb and full of rocks. 2.Why does the writer write Paragraph 2? A. To ask tourists not to make too much rubbish. B. To show the difficulties of solving the rubbish problem. C. To compare different ways of cleaning the mountain. D. To say that porters should get more money for their work. 3.What are the advantages (优势) of the robot dog? ①It can stop tourists from littering. ②It can move on difficult mountain paths. ③It can carry heavy things without getting tired. ④It can make smart decisions with cameras and chips. A. ①②④ B. ①②③ C. ②③④ D. ①③④ 4.What can we infer (推断) from Dr. Lin Wei’s words? A. The robot dogs are mainly used to bring fun to tourists on Mount Tai. B. Mount Tai is the only mountain in China needing this technology. C. The robot solution could be used in other places with similar problems. D. There will be no more human porters because we don’t need them anymore. 【答案】1. D　2. B　3. C　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了泰山面临垃圾处理难题，如今引入“智能搬运工”机器狗来协助搬运垃圾，这一科技应用不仅减轻了搬运工的负担，还提高了工作效率和安全性，有助于保护泰山的自然环境。 (1)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“But the mountain has steep and rocky paths (路径). People can only climb up and down on these narrow (狭窄的) roads.”可知，这座山有狭窄的路，人们只能沿着这些狭窄的路上下攀爬，由此可推测出这座山的路径是陡峭且多岩石的，很难攀爬，所以“steep and rocky”意思是“难以攀爬且布满岩石”。故选D。 (2)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据第二段内容可知，每年产生大量垃圾，清理和搬运垃圾并不容易，索道只能在山脚和山顶提供帮助，中间部分仍需工人，但现在越来越少的人愿意做这项艰苦的工作，由此可推测出作者写第二段是为了表明解决垃圾问题的困难。故选B。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中“This robot dog can carry heavy things on its back. It has four strong legs that move just like a real dog’s. There are cameras (摄像头) on its ‘head’ that can ‘see’ the way, and smart chips (芯片) inside help it think and decide. It walks on the rocky paths just like people. The robot dog doesn’t get tired and can work all day. It helps the porters by carrying rubbish down the mountain.”可知，机器狗的优点有：可以在困难的山路上移动；可以搬运重物而不感到疲倦；可以用摄像头和芯片做出明智的决定。故选C。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘The smart robot dog doesn’t just carry rubbish. It helps make visiting special mountains like Tai safer,’ says Dr. Lin Wei, who works on the project. ‘By using machines for the hardest work, we protect both workers and nature. This helps keep the mountain beautiful for a long time.’”可知，林伟博士认为智能机器狗不仅搬运垃圾，还让游览像泰山这样的名山更加安全，通过使用机器做最艰苦的工作，保护了工人和自然，这有助于长时间保持泰山的美丽，由此可推测出机器狗的解决方案可以应用于其他有类似问题的地方。故选C。 Passage 8 （25-26八上·浙江绍兴新昌县七星中学·期中）“Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?” It is a popular question among young people around China today. Many people are crazy about it, so they take a personality test named the MBTI test to find out the answer. Many people find the MBTI is useful. It groups people into 16 kinds, which start with the letter “I” or “E”, such as “ENTJ, INFP” or more. “E” is short for “Extroversion (外向性)” while “I” is for “Introversion (内向性)”. “I’m an ‘E’ person. I should go to the party and make more friends.” “I’m an ‘I’ person. I’d like to work by myself. I could be a writer in the future.” They believe the MBTI result can help them make decisions for activities, jobs or even life choices more quickly. But there are also problems. Some people take the test for a second time and get different results. Some people find it hard to answer some questions. “I like watching TV by myself. But I also enjoy playing with friends. Am I an ‘I’ or an ‘E’?” When you take a personality test, you may think, “Oh, that’s me.” That’s because the descriptions (描述) are generic. They can be used to describe many people. Research has found that over 50% of people get a different result when they do the MBTI again just five weeks later. Personalities can change with time, scientists say. You can be an “I” now, but you may become an “E” when you get older. Studies have also shown that the test is not really good at telling people’s success in different jobs. So, don’t take it too seriously. 1.What is the MBTI test about? A. Personality. B. Health. C. Hobbies. D. Future jobs. 2.How might an “I” person feel about a big and noisy party according to the test? A. He/She would feel excited and talk to everyone. B. He/She would prefer to stay alone or with a few close friends. C. He/She would like to play games with others at the party. D. He/She would feel it’s the best place to make new friends. 3.What does the underlined word “generic” mean in Chinese? A. 通用的 B. 特别的 C. 清楚的 D. 科学的 4.Why do some people get different results when they do the MBTI test again? A. Because the test questions are too difficult. B. Because their personalities can change over time. C. Because they don’t understand the questions. D. Because the test is only for young people. 【答案】1. A　2. B　3. A　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文主要介绍了MBTI性格测试在年轻人中的流行情况，以及它的用途和存在的问题。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“Many people are crazy about it, so they take a personality test named the MBTI test to find out the answer.”可知，很多人热衷于通过一个被称为MBTI的性格测试来探寻答案，所以MBTI测试是关于性格的。故选A。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据“‘I’ is for ‘Introversion (内向性)’”以及“I’d like to work by myself.”可知“I”代表内向性，喜欢独自工作，所以一个“I”型性格的人在一个又大又吵闹的聚会上可能更愿意独自待着或者只和几个亲密的朋友在一起。故选B。 (3)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据“They can be used to describe many people.”可知这些描述可以用于描述很多人，说明描述是具有普遍适用性的，所以“generic”意思是“通用的”。故选A。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“Personalities can change with time, scientists say. You can be an ‘I’ now, but you may become an ‘E’ when you get older. Research has found that over 50% of people get a different result when they do the MBTI again just five weeks later.”可知科学家说性格会随着时间改变，研究也发现很多人间隔五周再次做MBTI测试会得到不同结果，所以有些人再次做MBTI测试得到不同结果是因为他们的性格会随时间改变。故选B。 Passage 9 （25-26八上·浙江金华义乌市稠江中学-11月·期中）We all know that recycling (回收) rubbish is very important. But sometimes it is not so convenient when we can’t find a recycling bin anywhere. Now, a team of middle school students from North Dakota, the US, has solved that problem. They turned their idea into reality with their Recycling Bin App (应用程序). This app encourages people to recycle. It provides users with a map of local recycling centers. And it allows them to save locations as favorites. Besides, this app also reminds users to recycle. The group of nine sixth graders is from STEM Center Middle School. They came up with the idea as part of a school project for the Verizon Innovative App Challenge. Their school provides professional app training. It gave 10 teams tablets as prizes. The contest aims to develop students’ interest in science, technology, engineering and math. In this contest, students present an app design that could solve a problem in their school or community. The nine students came up with the idea for Recycling Bin when they saw a need for more recycling in their community. “We thought that this would really help a lot of people,” Jaden Hilkemann, 12, told Time for Kids. They kept their design simple so that anyone could use it. Now the free Recycling Bin App has been put into use in the app store. “I was so excited when it went up on the app store”, Seralyn Blake, 12, said. “A lot of my family members downloaded (下载) the app. It was pretty cool.” 1.What can the Recycling Bin App provide us? A. A recycling bin. B. A recycling bike. C. A recycling center. D. A map of local recycling centers. 2.Why did the nine sixth graders want to design the app? A. Because their teachers asked them to do so. B. Because they saw the need for more recycling in their community. C. Because they wanted to be successful. D. Because they wanted to get the money from the school. 3.Recycling Bin App is ________. A. expensive to buy B. easy to download C. useless in life D. not difficult to use 4.What is the best title of the passage? A. Students’ App Can Help Recycling B. Students’ App Won a Prize C. School Professional App Training D. A Recycling Bin App for School 【答案】1. D　2. B　3. D　4.

However, a healthy relationship with yourself matters more. It’s the key to many things in life, such as happiness and success. So how do you build a good self-relationship? ②First, take good care of yourself. This means more than just eating well or getting enough sleep. Self-improvement is also important. It means getting to know yourself better, learning new things, and trying to be your best. ③To become a better you, you need to face your fears and step out of your comfort zone (舒适圈).While the comfort zone provides safety and peace, it can also hinder your personal growth and the development of self-relationship. For example, Sometimes you might want to try something new but feel afraid, making excuses like “I’ll do it next time.” ④Your relationship with yourself lasts your whole life, so treat yourself as your best friend. One way to practice self-understanding is through self-talk. Sit in front of a mirror and speak to yourself kindly. A bit quieter way is through writing. Write about your day, plans, and feelings each day and then read it out loud, which can help you understand yourself better. ⑤Now that you’ve learnt why it is important to have a good relationship with yourself and how you can achieve it, all that’s left is to start practicing it. 1.The writer thinks________ is more important. A. A successful life. B. Personal happiness. C. A healthy self-relationship. D. Relationships with others. 2.What does the underlined word “hinder” mean? A. Lead to. B. Hold back. C. Help with. D.

Taking down just key words helps you save time and keep up with the teacher. ④What your notes look like is also important. If your notes are messy and difficult to read, you will be less likely to go back to studying them. So make sure your notes are clear and easy to read.

When we go on vacation, we get more time to relax. The change of the environment helps us forget about terrible things in our daily life. This can lower our blood pressure (降低我们的血压) and improve our sleep. A study showed that people who took regular vacations were 30％less likely to get sick. Vacations also let us explore new places and cultures. We can try different delicious foods,learn about local traditions, and meet people from different places. These experiences help us see the world differently, which makes us know more and makes our life colourful. Even small things, like reading a map in a foreign city or ordering food in another language, can teach us problem-solving skills. What's more, spending time with family and friends during vacations improves our relationships. In our busy lives, we spend most of our time studying or working. During vacations, we have more time to share stories and create memories together. This can bring us closer. Some people even find that vacations help them understand their loved ones better.

Can you do addition and subtraction (加减法)? Most people can. But do you know bees can do these things too? A study shows that bees have even greater math abilities. After some training, they can know the difference between even numbers (ending in 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8) and odd numbers (ending in 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9). Some Australian scientists put up different cards with an odd or even number of triangles (三角形). They used the numbers 1 to 10. Then they trained the first group of bees to choose odd numbers and the second group to choose even numbers. If a bee flew to the right card, it would get sugar water. If it chose the wrong card, it got bitter (苦的) water. In a short time, all the bees knew what odd numbers or even numbers were. They could fly to the right numbers 80% of the time. After that, the scientists added new cards with the numbers 11 and 12. The bees never saw the numbers in their training before, but they could choose rightly 70% of the time. Surprisingly, the bees even learned odd numbers more quickly than people. How did the bees learn the numbers so fast? Scientists didn’t have a clear idea. But they believe if they find the answer, it will help them build better and faster computers. After all, a bee’s brain is about 86,000 times smaller than ours! 1.How does the writer start the passage? A. By listing facts. B. By giving examples. C. By asking questions. D. By using pictures. 2.Which of the following cards should the second group of bees fly to? A. ①④ B. ②③ C. ①② D. ③④ 3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.

An old gorilla (大猩猩) was seriously ill because some visitors fed it with food. Another poor animal, a deer, died with 3.5 kilograms of plastic bags in her stomach. The two poor animals remind people of the most basic zoo rule again: Do not feed animals. Visitors often throw foods like peanuts and bread to animals. They think it’s kind of them to feed the animals. However, the foods are not good for the animals and may cause them to become sick. “If someone often gives your children snacks and sweets, would they have healthy food as usual? This behaviour can lead children to ignore (忽略) the healthy food. This is the same to animals,” Zhang, an animal expert in Beijing, told the Global Times. The poor gorilla’s condition makes many people feel angry, and some people advise zoos to do more than just stop visitors when they feed animals. Some even advise zoos to make a “blacklist” to keep those visitors out. However, it is very difficult for zoos to do this job. A worker in Shanghai Zoo says that workers in the zoo will correct people’s mistakes and try to improve public awareness (意识) to stop this behaviour. Some people say that after hearing the news, they felt sorry for feeding animals at the zoo. Others say they are surprised to find that their “kind behaviours” could actually harm the animals. We human beings can express our feelings when we feel ill or uncomfortable, but this is impossible for animals. So it’s important for visitors to protect the animals—by not feeding them. 1.How did the writer explain that feeding animals is bad for them? A. By asking some questions. B. By showing a study about it. C. By showing an expert’s opinion. D. By listing some numbers about it. 2.What will workers in Shanghai Zoo NOT do? A. Correct people’s mistakes. B. Improve public awareness. C. Stop people when they feed animals. D. Make a “blacklist” to keep some people out. 3.What does the underlined word “this” refer to? A. Feeding animals. B. Feeling uncomfortable. C. Expressing their feelings. D. Showing their kind behaviours. 4.Which is the best title for the passage? A. Volunteer in Zoos B. Stop Feeding Animals C. Keep Animals in Zoos D. Raise Money for Animals 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. C　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文介绍由于游客投喂而对动物造成伤害，呼吁我们停止喂动物园的动物。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文中“‘If someone often gives your children snacks and sweets, would they have healthy food as usual? This behaviour can lead children to ignore (忽略) the healthy food. This is the same to animals,’ Zhang, an animal expert in Beijing, told the Global Times.”可知，作者通过引用北京动物专家Zhang的观点，将给动物喂食类比给孩子喂零食，说明这种行为对动物有害，属于通过专家意见来解释。故选C。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文中“Some even advise the zoos to make a ‘blacklist’ to keep those visitors out. However, it is very difficult for zoos to do this job.”可知，动物园的工作人员很难去设置“黑名单”。故选D。 (3)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据文中“We human beings can express our feelings when we feel ill or uncomfortable, but this is impossible for animals.”可知，我们人类在生病或不舒服的时候可以表达我们的感情，但这对动物来说是不可能的。此处this指的是“express feelings”。故选C。 (4)题解析： 最佳标题题。文章围绕游客喂食动物导致动物受害展开，呼吁停止喂食动物，“Stop Feeding Animals”最能概括主旨。故选B。 Passage 4 （25-26八上·浙江绍兴新昌县七星中学·期中）①In the coastal (沿海的) city of Laguna in Brazil, there is a special fishing team. It is made up of fishermen and dolphins. They work together to catch fish. ②Mauricio Cantor from Oregon State University, the US, studied this partnership (合作关系). As he told Science News Explores, this started more than a century ago. ③“The dolphins are really good at finding fish in the murky water and driving them to the coast,” Cantor said. “The fishermen are really good at catching the fish with their nets.” Once the fish are caught in the nets, dolphins can move in and get some for themselves. ④Cantor’s study described how fishermen and dolphins give cues (暗示) to each other during fishing. When dolphins find fish, they drive them to the coast. Then they arch (弓着) their backs in front of the fishermen to tell them to throw nets. Fishermen will then throw the nets right away, or they may lose the best chance. “Fishermen need to be well-trained to understand the cues from dolphins,” said Cantor. ⑤The study found that fishermen are 17 times more likely to catch fish by working with dolphins. At the same time, the helpful dolphins have a 13 percent higher survival rate (存活率) than other dolphins. ⑥Human-animal partnerships have been hard to see in history. But they give us an idea of how positive our human interactions (互动) can be with nature. 1.What does “this” in Paragraph ② refer to? A. The city. B. The study. C. The university. D. The fishing team. 2.How do dolphins and fishermen work together according to the study? ①Dolphins arch their backs. ②Fishermen throw nets. ③Dolphins move in and get fish. ④Dolphins find fish in the water. ⑤Dolphins drive fish to the coast. A. ④③②⑤① B. ⑤①③②④ C. ④⑤①②③ D. ⑤②①④③ 3.In Paragraph ⑤, the writer mainly wants to show this partnership ________. A. should be improved and changed B. must last for a long time in history C. might bring about a win-win situation D. could be in danger and end soon 4.What would be the best title for the passage? A. Train Hard to Win B. Team Up to Fish C. Get Close to Nature D. Say Thanks to Animals 【答案】1. D　2. C　3. C　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了在巴西拉古纳沿海城市，由渔民和海豚组成的特殊捕鱼队，以及他们合作捕鱼的方式和这种合作带来的积极影响，展现了人类与动物积极互动的可能性。 (1)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“In the coastal (沿海的) city of Laguna in Brazil, there is a special fishing team. It is made up of fishermen and dolphins.”以及第二段“Mauricio Cantor from Oregon State University, the US, studied this partnership (合作关系).”可知，Mauricio Cantor研究的是由渔民和海豚组成的特殊捕鱼队的这种合作关系，所以“this”指代的是“这个捕鱼队”。故选D。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“‘The dolphins are really good at finding fish in the murky water and driving them to the coast,’ Cantor said.”可知，海豚先在浑浊的水中找到鱼并把鱼赶到海岸，即④⑤；再根据第四段“Then they arch (弓着) their backs in front of the fishermen to tell them to throw nets.”可知，海豚在渔民面前弓起背告诉他们撒网，即①；接着“Fishermen will then throw nets right away”可知，渔民马上撒网，即②；最后“Once the fish are caught in the nets, dolphins can move in and get some for themselves.”可知，鱼被网住后，海豚可以进来获取一些鱼，即③。所以正确的顺序是④⑤①②③。故选C。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“The study found that fishermen are 17 times more likely to catch fish by working with dolphins. At the same time, the helpful dolphins have a 13 percent higher survival rate (存活率) than other dolphins.”可知，研究发现渔民与海豚合作捕到鱼的可能性是单独捕鱼的17倍，同时，有帮助的海豚比其他海豚的存活率高13%，这表明这种合作关系是一种双赢的局面。故选C。 (4)题解析： 最佳标题题。文章主要讲述了在巴西拉古纳沿海城市，渔民和海豚组成特殊捕鱼队，他们合作捕鱼的方式以及这种合作带来的积极影响，所以最佳标题应该是“Team Up to Fish（组队捕鱼）”。故选B。 Passage 5 （25-26八上·浙江杭州西湖区-五校联合考试·期中）Mothers are very special people. They not only give birth but they look after their children until they’re old enough to take care of themselves. Mothers don’t stop caring about their children even when they grow up. They want to know that they are healthy, happy and safe. Like humans, animals are doing the same. In some ways, they are like human mothers, but there are also some different ways they look after their offspring. Does your mum drive you to school, your music lesson or sports practice? Can you imagine your mother carrying you and your brothers and sisters on her back all the time? That’s what a Surinam toad (苏里南蟾蜍) mum does. She carries as many as 100 babies on her back until they’re old enough to swim by themselves. Does your mum tell you to tidy your room and make your bed? If you were an orange-utan (猩猩), your mum wouldn’t! Mother orang-utans from Indonesia are the only animal mothers who make a new bed for their babies every night. They collect fresh leaves and build their young beds high in the trees. Mums never let their babies out of their sight for the first two years. And after that, they keep them close until they’re six or seven years old. This is longer than any other animal. The world can be a scary place when you’re young, even if you’re an alligator (短吻鳄). That’s why mother alligators carry their babies in their mouths when they move through water or other dangerous places. In the past, people thought the mother was eating her babies! But in fact, she was just keeping them safe. These are just a few examples of animal mums. One thing is clear: without mums to care and protect their offspring, animals all over the world would be in danger! 1.What does the underlined word “offspring” mean in Paragraph 1? A. Mothers. B. Humans. C. Animals. D. Children. 2.What can we learn about mother orang-utans? A. They tidy their baby rooms each night. B. They make new baby beds every day. C. They build baby beds under big trees. D. They keep their babies close for ten years. 3.What do alligator mothers do to protect their babies? A. Put their babies on their backs. B. Eat their enemies when in danger. C. Keep their babies in their mouths. D. Avoid passing dangerous places. 4.What is the text mainly about? A. Human babies. B. Special animals. C. Animal mothers. D. Caring humans. 【答案】1. D　2. B　3. C　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是说明文。主要介绍了母亲（包括人类母亲和动物母亲）的特殊性，重点通过苏里南蟾蜍、猩猩以及短吻鳄这三种动物妈妈照顾幼崽的具体例子，展现动物母亲与人类母亲在关爱后代方面的相似性与独特方式，强调母亲对后代的重要性。 (1)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据前文“Mothers don’t stop caring about their children even when they grow up”以及“Like humans, animals are doing the same”，可知此处“they look after their offspring”指的是动物妈妈照顾自己的“孩子”，与前文人类母亲照顾“children”对应。故选D。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“Mother orang-utans from Indonesia are the only animal mothers who make a new bed for their babies every night”可知，猩猩妈妈每晚都会为宝宝做新床，即每天都为宝宝制作新床。故选B。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“That’s why mother alligators carry their babies in their mouths when they move through water or other dangerous places”可知，短吻鳄妈妈通过将宝宝含在嘴里的方式保护它们。故选C。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。文章开篇先强调人类母亲的特殊性，随后通过“Like humans, animals are doing the same”过渡到动物母亲，接着具体介绍了苏里南蟾蜍、猩猩、短吻鳄三种动物妈妈照顾幼崽的方式，最后总结“without mums to care and protect their offspring, animals all over the world would be in danger”，核心围绕“动物母亲”展开。故选C。 主题语境09 人与自然-环境 （25-26八上·浙江初中名校发展共同体·期中）A new study found that helping the environment—picking up trash, using less plastic, or walking instead of driving—can make people just as happy as doing activities like hobbies. In his research, Michael Prinzing from Baylor University in Texas looked at how eco-friendly activities affect (影响) happiness. “Many people think it’s hard to live in an eco-friendly way because it means giving up comfort,” Prinzing said. But helping others and being eco-friendly can actually make life more fun. His study was made up of two smaller studies. In the first study, 181 adults from 14 countries shared their daily activities and talked about how they felt for 10 days. The study found people felt happier on days when they did something good for the Earth. Prinzing’s second study looked at 545 college students in the US. They were put into three groups—one group did eco-friendly activities, another did fun activities, and the third just had a normal day. After two days, people in both the eco-friendly group and the fun activity group felt much happier than those in the third group. These studies suggest that helping the Earth helps people feel good. Each study only took place over a few days, so more research is needed to see if the effects last longer. But either way, doing something good for the Earth could make your day better 1.What does the word “eco-friendly” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Harmful to nature. B. Good for the Earth. C. Friendly to animals. D. Common in daily life. 2.How many people took part in Michael Prinzing’s two studies? A. 14. B. 181. C. 545. D. 726. 3.Which can we learn from the research by Michael Prinzing? A. Most people aren’t interested in eco-friendly activities. B. Living an eco-friendly life always means giving up things. C. Those who often do eco-friendly things may feel happier. D. The effects of eco-friendly activities on happiness last for a long time. 4.What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To encourage people to take part in fun activities. B. To compare different ways of getting happiness. C. To tell people about the difficulty of eco-friendly life. D. To introduce a study on eco-friendly activities and happiness. 【答案】1. B　2. D　3. C　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项关于环保活动如何影响人们幸福感的新研究，研究表明环保行为同样能带来快乐。 (1)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“helping the environment—picking up trash, using less plastic, or walking instead of driving”可知，这些行为都是对环境有益的。再结合第二段中“how eco-friendly activities affect happiness”可推断，“eco-friendly”意为“对环境友好的”，即“Good for the Earth”。故选B。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段和第五段可知，第一个研究有181名成年人参与，第二个研究有545名大学生参与。因此总参与人数为181 + 545 = 726人。故选D。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一个研究的发现“people felt happier on days when they did something good for the Earth”和第二个研究的结论“people in both the eco-friendly group and the fun activity group felt much happier than those in the third group”可知，做环保活动的人感觉更快乐。C选项表述正确。故选C。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了一项关于环保活动与幸福感关系的研究，包括研究过程、方法和结果。因此作者的写作目的是介绍这项研究。故选D。 主题语境01 人与社会-文化 （25-26八上·浙江宁波七中·期中）①In the hearts of Italian cities like Milan and Rome, a delicious cultural exchange (交流) is taking place. A new group of Chinese restaurateurs (饭店主理人) is introducing Chinese food to locals, building a bridge between the two cultures through shared meals. ②In Milan, a small restaurant called ZioZio, started by two Chinese art graduates, is surprising everyone. They pair rich, slow-cooked Chinese dishes from Sichuan with the bold red wines that Italians love. “We hope to spark (激发) curiosity and introduce more people to China’s regional food cultures,” they say. Their idea is a success. The cozy space is often full of local Italians enjoying this unique East-West combination (组合). The owners also share Chinese traditions, like inviting customers to taste moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival. ③Meanwhile, in Rome, a small store named Jiamo Lab is winning hearts with its classic snack, roujiamo, a Chinese flatbread stuffed with meat. But it offers more than just food. The walls tell the story of roujiamo and its birthplace, the ancient city of Xi’an. “When we eat here, we’re drawn to the cultural stories. They make us want to learn more about Chinese history,” says an Italian customer. The owner, Hu Chenqiang, believes food is an ideal way to share culture. “With Xi’an roujiamo, we naturally talk about the Terracotta Warriors,” he says. ④This new trend is changing how people abroad see Chinese food. For a long time, it was often just fried rice or sweet-and-sour pork. Now, special dishes from different parts of China are becoming popular. The owners are confident in their traditional tastes. “The more confidence we have in our own culture, the more interest foreigners will show in it,” Hu says. An Italian customer perfectly summarizes the phenomenon (现象): “Authentic Chinese cuisine is more than food; it is a bridge between cultures.” 1.What is special about the restaurant ZioZio in Milan?

It means the beginning of midwinter. During Major Snow, the temperature falls greatly and there may be more snowy days. ② The arrival of snow brings colour to the cold days. The snow in North China may go on for a whole day while snow doesn’t happen a lot in the South. ③ The natural scenery is “Hundreds of leagues ice-bound go; For thousands of miles the snow flies. —By Mao Zedong”, and “From hill to hill no bird in flight; From path to path no man in sight. —By Liu Zongyuan”. In the South, snowflakes fly around and the world turns white. ④ As a Chinese saying goes, “A timely snow promises a good harvest.” Most farmers welcome snow because snow can protect crops and keep the fields warm. Even if it melts, it can give enough water for the crops in spring. ⑤ The snowy season is good for skiing and skating. In northern China, there are many places for natural snow and ice. For example, Heilongjiang and Jilin Provinces often have big snow in November. People can go to the icy lakes to play ice sports. And people in the South may have man-made skating fields to enjoy winter activities. ⑥ People have lots of fun in the snowy season, but they should pay attention to respiratory diseases (呼吸道疾病).

Passage 2 （25-26八上·浙江温州第三中学·期中）Did you know that tea, the most popular drink in the world (after water), was invented by accident? Many people believe that tea was first drunk about 5,000 years ago. It is said that a Chinese ruler (统治者) called Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as a drink. One day Shen Nong was boiling drinking water over an open fire. Some leaves from a tea plant fell into the water and remained there for some time. He noticed the water had turned brown and produced a pleasant smell. He couldn’t help tasting it. It was quite delicious, and so, one of the world’s favorite drinks was invented. A few thousand years later, Lu Yu, “the saint of tea”, talked about Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea. It also discusses where the finest tea leaves were produced and what kinds of water were used. It is believed that the Chinese brought tea to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In England, tea didn’t appear until around 1660, but in less than 100 years, it had become the national drink. The tea trade (贸易) from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. This helped to spread (传播) the popularity of tea and the tea plants to more places around the world. Even though many people now know about tea culture, the Chinese still understand the nature of tea the best. 1.How did Shen Nong discover tea? A. He learned it from “the saint of tea”. B. He read about it in an old book. C. He found it when he was boiling water. D. He discovered it through his research. 2.What is Cha Jing mainly about? A. The amazing experiences of Shen Nong. B. The tea trade between different countries. C. The long and rich history of Chinese tea. D. The way to grow tea plants and make tea. 3.When did tea become the national drink in England? A. In the 19th century. B. About 5,000 years ago. C. From around 1660 to 1760. D. During the 6th and 7th centuries. 4.Why does the writer talk about Shen Nong, Lu Yu, and the tea trade? A. To show that English tea culture is the best. B. To suggest that tea was once only for rulers. C. To explain why tea is popular around the world. D. To introduce the key steps of tea’s development. 主题语境02 人与社会-旅游 Passage 1    Do you like travelling? Where are you going for the next vacation? Look at these two wonderful places.

Passage 2 （25-26八上·浙江初中名校发展共同体·期中） In the mountains of Fujian, China, there are special round or square buildings called tulou. The Hakka people (客家人) built them a long time ago. They moved from the north to the south for a better life, but they needed to be safe. So, they built strong tulou like castles (城堡), with high walls and only one door. Each tulou is like a big family home. Up to 800 people can live inside When you go inside, you can hear children playing and smell food from the kitchens. The first floor has kitchens and dining rooms. The second floor is for storing things. The upper floors are bedrooms with wooden beds and furniture (家具). On special days like the Spring Festival, families meet in the big open area in the middle. They hang red lanterns and dance. Old people tell stories about their family history. Tulou are not just houses— they help keep the Hakka traditions (传统) alive. In 2008, tulou became a World Heritage site (世界遗产地). Now, many tourists visit them. People can look around, listen to stories, and even try making woodcut prints of tulou on red paper—a lucky symbol in China. Tulou show how China takes care of its old culture. If you like history, buildings, or family life, you will enjoy visiting tulou! 1.Why did the Hakka people build tulou? A. To stay safe. B. To live a modern life. C. To bring more visitors. D.

This new kind of service (服务) was popular during this summer vacation. To have a “take-out PE class”, you order it on apps. The PE teacher will then come with all the things needed for the exercise. The classes have simple fitness (健身) training and sports like basketball and tennis. One-on-one lessons usually cost 200 to 400 yuan, Guangming Daily reported. “It’s so convenient (方便的),” said Mrs Wang whose child is in 3rd grade. She used to spend an hour taking her child to the gym. “Now, the PE teacher comes to the open area of our neighborhood, and I can watch from the balcony,” she said. “Take-out PE classes” are not only convenient, but also helpful. “Before, my child often fell down when jumping rope. After three weeks of classes, he improved from 120 jumps a minute to 160,” Wang said. The teacher makes a special plan for each child. This is more helpful than big classes. But this new service also has problems. The Paper reported that most classes are in public (公共的) places like squares or parks. The ground is often too hard for running and jumping. In addition, many people walk by, and sometimes cars pass through. This can be dangerous. Many parents who order the classes have children preparing for high school entrance exams (中考). This is an “exam-first” way of thinking, which has changed the true meaning of exercise, noted Xinhua. 1.What mainly makes “Take-out PE class” different from other PE classes? A. The kind of sports. B. The price of each class. C. The class place. D. The teaching ways. 2.Why does Mrs Wang think “take-out PE classes” are helpful? A. Each child has their own training plan. B. It saves her time going to the gym. C. She can watch from her balcony. D. The teacher works with a big group. 3.What is one problem with “take-out PE classes”? A. They use too much public space. B. The service can’t reach every place. C. They are only for children, not parents. D. Exercising in public places can be dangerous. 4.What does Xinhua mean in the last paragraph? A. “Take-out PE classes” have many problems. B. Students should exercise for their health. C. Exercise is more important than anything else. D. “Take-out PE classes” change the way students exercise. 主题语境04 人与社会-科普知识与现代技术 （25-26八上·浙江宁波鄞州区十三校·期中）In the busy cities of China, many young people begin to take “zoo walk”.

The ideas come from a popular personality test called MBTI. “I” means introverted and “I” people are usually quiet and shy, while “E” means extroverted. To learn more about it, let’s hear from the following two students. ②Andy, an extrovert I enjoy trying new things and playing with many friends. Ken and I go to the beach on Saturdays to surf, and on Sundays, I hang out with Tom, eating and riding. At school, Larry is my best friend. I don’t spend much time with him over the weekends because he likes to play video games at home just by himself. I’m cool with it because I can visit other friends. I value his friendship a lot because Larry cares about me and often gives great advice to my problems. ③Anna, an introvert I think nothing is more enjoyable than staying on my own with a great book in hand. However, I do also need time with my two best friends, Sue and Tina. Sue is so full of life that her jokes bring much joy to my quiet days. Tina is more like me and she understands me better than I do. We often take a long walk to share our feelings. I love both my friends and need their different personalities to make my life colorful. ④From Andy and Anna, extroverts and introverts can be friends and also need friends with different personalities. So start to make different friends and enjoy the special friendship! 1.What does the underlined word “extroverted” mean in the first paragraph? A. Serious. B. Outgoing. C. Strict. D. Shy. 2.What does Andy do on Saturdays with Ken? A. Goes to the beach to surf. B. Eats and rides bikes. C. Plays the video games. D.

To describe how Anna studies with friends. D. To tell that Anna dislikes being alone much. 4.What’s the structure of the text? A. B. C. D. Passage 2 （25-26八上·浙江温州第三中学·期中）Have you ever wondered why you and your friends are so different? Maybe you love big parties, but your best friend prefers reading a book alone. This is all about personality (性格). MBTI is a popular tool to help us understand these differences. It doesn’t test how smart you are, it just describes how you get your energy, take in information, make decisions, and deal with the outside world. The test puts people into 16 different personalities, made from four letters. For example, the first letter can be “E” or “I”. An “E” (Extrovert) often feels energetic around people. An “I” (Introvert) usually gets their energy from spending time alone. The second letter is about how you take in information. An “S” (Sensing) person trusts facts and details, while an “N” (Intuitive) person is more interested in ideas and future possibilities. So, someone might be an “ESFP” or an “INTJ”. Each type (类型) has its own strengths. Knowing your MBTI type can be fun and helpful. It can help you understand yourself better, see why others act the way they do, and improve your communication. However, it’s very important to remember that MBTI is not the only way to understand personality. It’s just a fun way to start thinking about personality, but we should never use it to judge (评判) others or put them in a small box. It is common for us to be different from others, and that’s what makes the world interesting. 1.How does the writer introduce the topic? A. By telling stories. B. By asking a question. C. By listing numbers. D. By showing feelings. 2.What does the first letter in an MBTI type (E or I) show according to the passage? A. How smart a person is. B. How a person gets energy. C. How a person gets information. D. How a person makes decisions. 3.Who is an “N” person? A. Tony prefers working with facts. B. Jackson is energetic in big parties. C. Sarah likes thinking about new ideas. D. Mary gets her energy from being alone. 4.What is the best title for this passage? A. A Fun Guide to Personalities B. The Science of Being Smart C. Why We Are All So Different D.

Emma is a high school student from Shandong. She likes talking with her meal dazi when she is having lunch. “We love to share our ideas on the food,” said the girl. “If my meal dazi doesn’t come to school one day, I will be sad.” “It takes a lot of time to make friends with others. But it doesn’t need much time to have a dazi,” said Joy, a student from Shanxi. Emma also has the same idea. She doesn’t want to spend too much time making friends, so having a dazi is good for her.

It is for children to go into the lonely (荒凉的) place for exciting activities, and their parents don’t go with them. During the activities, other grown-ups are not around them either. Many parents like “survival holidays” because they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend most time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival holidays” can make a big difference to their life. Is “survival holidays” a great idea? Maybe it is.

When we go on vacation, we get more time to relax. The change of the environment helps us forget about terrible things in our daily life. This can lower our blood pressure (降低我们的血压) and improve our sleep. A study showed that people who took regular vacations were 30% less likely to get sick. Vacations also let us explore new places and cultures. We can try different delicious foods, learn about local traditions, and meet people from different places. These experiences help us see the world differently, which makes us know more and makes our life colourful. Even small things, like reading a map in a foreign city or ordering food in another language, can teach us problem-solving skills. What’s more, spending time with family and friends during vacations improves our relationships. In our busy lives, we spend most of our time studying or working. During vacations, we have more time to share stories and create memories together. This can bring us closer. Some people even find that vacations help them understand their loved ones better. In short, vacations are not just enjoyable—they are important for a balanced and healthy life. So, choose a beach holiday, a mountain hike, or a city break; pack up your clothes and set out.

Passage 2 （25-26八上·浙江杭州西湖区十三中·期中） Think about this: you sit down and begin to eat a tomato. Suddenly, the tomato starts to shout! Don’t worry! This thing would never really happen. But new research (研究) showed that plants make sounds when they are stressed (有压力的). “Plants make sounds to communicate with insects and other animals all the time,” said Lilach Hadany, the researcher of the study, “but those sounds can’t be heard by humans’ ears.” With this in mind, the team started the research by recording the plants’ sounds. First, the team made a smart machine to record the sounds of plants and help them understand these sounds. Then they divided plants into three groups: one group wasn’t watered for five days, another group had the stems (茎) cut off and the last group was untouched for five days. The result showed that untouched plants stayed quiet, but in other two groups, these plants made sounds up to 40 clicks every hour. More interestingly, thirsty plants made louder and louder sounds at the beginning, with the loudest sounds when they were very thirsty, then lower as they died. This result helps us better understand how plants manage stress and how they communicate with the world around them. It can also help farmers to tell which plant is thirsty, which one is hurt or which one is healthy, so that they can water them in time or protect them from disease. Scientists are still working on inventing machines to help farmers to understand their plants better. They also wonder if the plants make sounds because of other reasons. 1.How does the writer start the text? A. By describing a loud tomato scene. B. By imagining a pleasant tomato scene. C. By creating a terrible tomato story. D. By explaining sounds made by plants. 2.What do we know about the research team? A. They bought a machine to record the plants’ sounds. B. They watered one group of plants for five days. C. They understood the plants’ sounds by themselves. D. They didn’t touch one group of plants for five days. 3.Which is most like the sound wave of the thirsty plant? (s=sound wave t=time) A. B. C. D. 4.What is the best title of the text? A. The Secret Sounds of Plants B. Machines That Talk to Plants C. How Plants Grow in Sound D. Secret Conversation in Nature Passage 3 （25-26八上·浙江绍兴诸暨市暨阳初中学-11月·期中）Recently, many people think it’s risky to use credit (信用) card numbers online. However, from time to time, we all use passwords and ID numbers on the Internet. We think we are safe, but that may not be true. A new kind of attack (攻击) is being used by dishonest people to steal IDs and credit card numbers from web surfers. This new kind of attack is called “phishing”. Phishing sounds the same as the word “fishing”, and it means that a thief is trying to trick people into giving away valuable information. Like real fishermen, phishers use bait (诱饵) in the form of great online deals or services. For example, phishers might use false emails and websites to trick people into revealing (透露) credit card numbers, account usernames, and passwords. They imitate (模仿) well-known banks, online sellers, and credit card companies. Successful phishers may make as many as 5% of people believe and give away their personal information. It’s really a big problem! Actually, tricking 5% of the online population is huge. Now more than 4.6 billion people have access (进入权) to the Internet, and 75% of those Internet users live in the richest countries on Earth. It has been reported that phishers send more than 40 billion false messages each year. Even by tricking only 5% of the people, phishers can make a lot of money. Amy, 18, from California, received an email. A man told Amy that she could get a million dollars in her account as a reward if she sent a thousand dollars to him. Amy did as the man said at once. The “thief” used Amy’s Social Security number to get credit cards in her name and transferred her money. How can people avoid being cheated online? Above all, they have to learn to recognize the email that has been sent by a phisher. Always be careful with any email with urgent (紧急的) requests for personal information. Phishers typically write upsetting or exciting, but false, statements in their emails so that people will reply right away. Never give out personal information to phishers. And if an offer sounds too good to be true, it is. 1.Phishing is compared to ________ according to the passage. A. making money B. playing games C. catching fish D. writing emails 2.Which writing skill is used in Para. 3? A. Giving examples. B. Listing numbers. C. Raising questions. D.

A. Help to catch phishers B. reply to urgent emails C. Pay by credit card D. protect ourselves online Passage 4 （25-26八上·浙江金华义乌绣湖中学·期中）It’s a normal day at school. You’re playing soccer with your friends. One of them kicks you the ball and you fall hard to the ground! The next moment, you’re in the nurse’s office, where a robot checks your bleeding nose with laser sensors (激光传感器)? Has the nurse’s office been taken over by sci-fi aliens (外星人)? No. You’ve just jumped 15 years into the future. And it’s a future that Susan Epstein, a computer science professor who teaches AI, is really excited to think about. “I am crazy about this kind of thing! You could go up to the robot, put your nose in, and the machine would decide whether you needed to be treated, and how.” Besides being cool, an AI nurse has other advantages. It doesn’t need to take vacations. It doesn’t need to get paid. And it might find out what’s wrong with your nose faster than a human would. There are all kinds of ways that AI could be used to help make us healthier, and researchers are studying how to use AI to diagnose (诊断) lung disease, cancer, and more. Our robot nurse doesn’t want to completely take the place of humans, though. “It would work with real, live nurses and doctors,” says Epstein, “there are things humans are good at, like building trust among people or comforting patients. A big part of medicine is the relationship between a doctor and a patient.” Epstein points out that AI programs will never be perfect—no matter how much we might want them to be. But if AI can diagnose a deadly disease more precisely (精确地) even 10 percent of the time, think of how many lives it could save. “Besides”, says Epstein, “I think there are probably patients who might prefer to have a machine for a doctor!” Would you? 1.What’s the function (作用) of Para 1? A. To lead to the topic of the text. B. To introduce a scientific study. C. To give an example for an argument. D.

They are better at trust-building. 4.What’s Epstein’s attitude towards AI doctors and nurses? A. Worried. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive. Passage 5 （25-26八上·浙江温州第三中学·期中）Before the 1930s, there weren’t any shopping carts because nobody needed them. Without fridges, people bought a day’s food at a time, usually at different stores, such as fish shops, vegetable shops and meat shops. The rise of the supermarket changed all that. Sylvan Goldman had many supermarkets in Oklahoma City. He noticed that when customers in his stores used handheld baskets, they often stopped shopping when the baskets became too full or too heavy. He wanted to change this. He told his workers to give another basket to people whose baskets were full. However, it was not a good way. He decided to find something better. One evening in 1936, the idea came as Goldman worked late in his office. He looked at a folding (折叠) chair and had the idea of replacing the seat with two shelves-one higher and one lower than the seat’s usual position—and adding wheels (轮子) to the legs. The shelves would hold shopping baskets, which could be taken off when not in use. After several tries, Goldman built some carts and introduced them in his stores. However, they were not popular with customers. Goldman didn’t give up and had people of all ages pose as (假扮) customers and use the carts. It worked, and customers began to give them a try. Within a few years, shopping carts were everywhere. 1.What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. The prices were much lower at that time. B. Nobody wanted to use shopping carts then. C. People couldn’t buy all they needed in one store. D. There were many supermarkets before the 1930s. 2.When did Goldman start using carts in his stores? A. In 1930. B. In 1936. C. In 1937. D. In 1940. 3.Which of the following shopping carts is Goldman’s invention? A. B. C. D. 4.What can we learn about Goldman from the passage? A. He didn’t give up when his carts were not popular. B. He invented the shopping carts to become famous. C. He spent his whole life improving the shopping cart. D. His first idea of giving another basket worked very well. Passage 6 （25-26八上·浙江温州第十二中学·期中） Have you ever seen robots play soccer? In Beijing, China, this really happened! Robots that look like humans played a 3-on-3 soccer game. What was special was that they were fully autonomous. This means no one used a remote control (遥控器) to move them. The robots used their own “computer brains” to think, make decisions, and play the game. It was a new and exciting event that mixed technology with the fun of sports. The game took place on a small field. The robots had advanced sensors (传感器), like special eyes, that helped them see the ball and know where to go. But playing soccer is hard, even for smart robots! They often fell down when they tried to run or kick the ball. They ran into each other and sometimes missed their shots completely. These moments were very funny. When a robot fell and couldn’t get up, workers had to carry it away on a stretcher (担架). It looked just like a real soccer player getting hurt! People laughed and cheered for the robots’ success and their funny mistakes. These accidents (意外) made the game full of joy. It was like watching a movie about the future. This event was not just for fun, though. It was also a way to test and improve AI technology. It shows how robots can learn to work together and solve problems in a fast-moving game. This robot soccer match lets us see our bright future. It shows how far technology has come, but also that robots still have a lot to learn before they can play like human stars. It was a playful look at a future where robots might share the field with us one day. 1.What does “autonomous” mean in Paragraph 1? A. Robots look like humans. B. Robots can play by themselves. C. Robots make the game exciting. D. Robots can follow humans’ instructions. 2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. People held this game just for fun. B. Robots could play soccer better than humans. C. Robots didn’t make mistakes during the game. D. Workers carried robots away if they couldn’t get up. 3.What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To describe funny moments in the game. B. To compare robot players with human players. C. To introduce a game and show the future of AI. D. To talk about the rules of the robot soccer game. Passage 7 （25-26八上·浙江初中名校发展共同体·期中） Mount Tai is one of the most famous mountains in China. Every year, millions of tourists visit it. But the mountain has steep and rocky paths (路径). People can only climb up and down on these narrow (狭窄的) roads. For many years, workers called “porters” (搬运工) carried heavy things like food, water, and rubbish. They worked very hard because the paths were difficult. The porters sweated and walked slowly, step by step. In 2023, over 8.62 million tourists came to Mount Tai. This created a big problem: about 24,000 tons of rubbish every year! Cleaning and moving the rubbish is not easy. Cableways (索道) can help at the start and end of the mountain, but the middle part still needs workers. However, fewer people want to do this hard job now. Now a new helper has come: a “smart porter” robot dog! This robot dog can carry heavy things on its back. It has four strong legs that move just like a real dog’s. There are cameras (摄像头) on its “head” that can “see” the way, and smart chips (芯片) inside help it think and decide. It walks on the rocky paths just like people. The robot dog doesn’t get tired and can work all day. It helps the porters by carrying rubbish down the mountain. Now, porters can spend less time on heavy lifting and more time on other important things, like keeping an eye on the mountain’s environment (环境). This makes the work faster and safer. Scientists believe these robot helpers are very important. “The smart robot dog doesn’t just carry rubbish. It helps make visiting special mountains like Tai safer,” says Dr. Lin Wei, who works on the project. “By using machines for the hardest work, we protect both workers and nature. This helps keep the mountain beautiful for a long time.” With this technology (科技), Mount Tai can stay clean, letting many visitors enjoy it while protecting it for the future. 1.What does the underlined phrase “steep and rocky” mean in Paragraph 1? A. Big and clean. B. Pleasant and clear. C. Easy to walk on. D. Hard to climb and full of rocks. 2.Why does the writer write Paragraph 2? A. To ask tourists not to make too much rubbish. B. To show the difficulties of solving the rubbish problem. C. To compare different ways of cleaning the mountain. D. To say that porters should get more money for their work. 3.What are the advantages (优势) of the robot dog? ①It can stop tourists from littering. ②It can move on difficult mountain paths. ③It can carry heavy things without getting tired. ④It can make smart decisions with cameras and chips. A. ①②④ B. ①②③ C. ②③④ D. ①③④ 4.What can we infer (推断) from Dr. Lin Wei’s words? A. The robot dogs are mainly used to bring fun to tourists on Mount Tai. B. Mount Tai is the only mountain in China needing this technology. C. The robot solution could be used in other places with similar problems. D. There will be no more human porters because we don’t need them anymore. Passage 8 （25-26八上·浙江绍兴新昌县七星中学·期中）“Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?” It is a popular question among young people around China today. Many people are crazy about it, so they take a personality test named the MBTI test to find out the answer. Many people find the MBTI is useful. It groups people into 16 kinds, which start with the letter “I” or “E”, such as “ENTJ, INFP” or more. “E” is short for “Extroversion (外向性)” while “I” is for “Introversion (内向性)”. “I’m an ‘E’ person. I should go to the party and make more friends.” “I’m an ‘I’ person. I’d like to work by myself. I could be a writer in the future.” They believe the MBTI result can help them make decisions for activities, jobs or even life choices more quickly. But there are also problems. Some people take the test for a second time and get different results. Some people find it hard to answer some questions. “I like watching TV by myself. But I also enjoy playing with friends. Am I an ‘I’ or an ‘E’?” When you take a personality test, you may think, “Oh, that’s me.” That’s because the descriptions (描述) are generic. They can be used to describe many people. Research has found that over 50% of people get a different result when they do the MBTI again just five weeks later. Personalities can change with time, scientists say. You can be an “I” now, but you may become an “E” when you get older. Studies have also shown that the test is not really good at telling people’s success in different jobs. So, don’t take it too seriously. 1.What is the MBTI test about? A. Personality. B. Health. C. Hobbies. D. Future jobs. 2.How might an “I” person feel about a big and noisy party according to the test? A. He/She would feel excited and talk to everyone. B. He/She would prefer to stay alone or with a few close friends. C. He/She would like to play games with others at the party. D. He/She would feel it’s the best place to make new friends. 3.What does the underlined word “generic” mean in Chinese? A. 通用的 B. 特别的 C. 清楚的 D. 科学的 4.Why do some people get different results when they do the MBTI test again? A. Because the test questions are too difficult. B. Because their personalities can change over time. C. Because they don’t understand the questions. D. Because the test is only for young people. Passage 9 （25-26八上·浙江金华义乌市稠江中学-11月·期中）We all know that recycling (回收) rubbish is very important. But sometimes it is not so convenient when we can’t find a recycling bin anywhere. Now, a team of middle school students from North Dakota, the US, has solved that problem. They turned their idea into reality with their Recycling Bin App (应用程序). This app encourages people to recycle. It provides users with a map of local recycling centers. And it allows them to save locations as favorites. Besides, this app also reminds users to recycle. The group of nine sixth graders is from STEM Center Middle School. They came up with the idea as part of a school project for the Verizon Innovative App Challenge. Their school provides professional app training. It gave 10 teams tablets as prizes. The contest aims to develop students’ interest in science, technology, engineering and math. In this contest, students present an app design that could solve a problem in their school or community. The nine students came up with the idea for Recycling Bin when they saw a need for more recycling in their community. “We thought that this would really help a lot of people,” Jaden Hilkemann, 12, told Time for Kids. They kept their design simple so that anyone could use it. Now the free Recycling Bin App has been put into use in the app store. “I was so excited when it went up on the app store”, Seralyn Blake, 12, said. “A lot of my family members downloaded (下载) the app. It was pretty cool.” 1.What can the Recycling Bin App provide us? A. A recycling bin. B. A recycling bike. C. A recycling center. D. A map of local recycling centers. 2.Why did the nine sixth graders want to design the app? A. Because their teachers asked them to do so. B. Because they saw the need for more recycling in their community. C. Because they wanted to be successful. D. Because they wanted to get the money from the school. 3.Recycling Bin App is ________. A. expensive to buy B. easy to download C. useless in life D. not difficult to use 4.What is the best title of the passage? A. Students’ App Can Help Recycling B. Students’ App Won a Prize C. School Professional App Training D. A Recycling Bin App for School 主题语境04 人与自我-个人兴趣 （25-26八上·浙江“山海联盟”·期中）Why do people love soft toys now? The world has gone soft for soft toys.

However, a healthy relationship with yourself matters more. It’s the key to many things in life, such as happiness and success. So how do you build a good self-relationship? ②First, take good care of yourself. This means more than just eating well or getting enough sleep. Self-improvement is also important. It means getting to know yourself better, learning new things, and trying to be your best. ③To become a better you, you need to face your fears and step out of your comfort zone (舒适圈).While the comfort zone provides safety and peace, it can also hinder your personal growth and the development of self-relationship.

But if your notes are messy and unclear, you’re not going to get much use out of them. Now we’ll show you how to make your notes as effective (有效的) as possible. ②First, you should be an active listener. When taking notes, many students write down every word, but they don’t really understand its meaning. This is totally wrong. While you’re in class, the most important thing is to listen carefully and understand what your teacher is saying instead of just writing it down. ③Take down only key words to help you review what you have learned after class. Usually, your writing speed falls far behind of your teacher’s speaking speed. It’s unrealizable for you to write down every word the teacher is saying. Taking down just key words helps you save time and keep up with the teacher. ④What your notes look like is also important. If your notes are messy and difficult to read, you will be less likely to go back to studying them. So make sure your notes are clear and easy to read. Many people like to add some colors to the notes to make the information easier to read.

When we go on vacation, we get more time to relax. The change of the environment helps us forget about terrible things in our daily life. This can lower our blood pressure (降低我们的血压) and improve our sleep. A study showed that people who took regular vacations were 30％less likely to get sick. Vacations also let us explore new places and cultures. We can try different delicious foods,learn about local traditions, and meet people from different places. These experiences help us see the world differently, which makes us know more and makes our life colourful. Even small things, like reading a map in a foreign city or ordering food in another language, can teach us problem-solving skills. What's more, spending time with family and friends during vacations improves our relationships. In our busy lives, we spend most of our time studying or working. During vacations, we have more time to share stories and create memories together. This can bring us closer. Some people even find that vacations help them understand their loved ones better. In short,vacations are not just enjoyable-they are important for a balanced and healthy life.

But do you know bees can do these things too? A study shows that bees have even greater math abilities. After some training, they can know the difference between even numbers (ending in 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8) and odd numbers (ending in 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9). Some Australian scientists put up different cards with an odd or even number of triangles (三角形). They used the numbers 1 to 10. Then they trained the first group of bees to choose odd numbers and the second group to choose even numbers. If a bee flew to the right card, it would get sugar water. If it chose the wrong card, it got bitter (苦的) water. In a short time, all the bees knew what odd numbers or even numbers were. They could fly to the right numbers 80% of the time. After that, the scientists added new cards with the numbers 11 and 12. The bees never saw the numbers in their training before, but they could choose rightly 70% of the time. Surprisingly, the bees even learned odd numbers more quickly than people. How did the bees learn the numbers so fast? Scientists didn’t have a clear idea. But they believe if they find the answer, it will help them build better and faster computers. After all, a bee’s brain is about 86,000 times smaller than ours! 1.How does the writer start the passage? A. By listing facts. B. By giving examples. C. By asking questions. D. By using pictures. 2.Which of the following cards should the second group of bees fly to? A. ①④ B. ②③ C. ①② D. ③④ 3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.

Bees like odd numbers more than even numbers. C. Scientists know how bees learn numbers. D. Scientists know why bees can tell different numbers. Passage 3 （25-26八上·浙江杭州采荷中学·期中）Recently, there were two pieces of sad news. An old gorilla (大猩猩) was seriously ill because some visitors fed it with food. Another poor animal, a deer, died with 3.5 kilograms of plastic bags in her stomach. The two poor animals remind people of the most basic zoo rule again: Do not feed animals. Visitors often throw foods like peanuts and bread to animals. They think it’s kind of them to feed the animals. However, the foods are not good for the animals and may cause them to become sick. “If someone often gives your children snacks and sweets, would they have healthy food as usual? This behaviour can lead children to ignore (忽略) the healthy food. This is the same to animals,” Zhang, an animal expert in Beijing, told the Global Times. The poor gorilla’s condition makes many people feel angry, and some people advise zoos to do more than just stop visitors when they feed animals. Some even advise zoos to make a “blacklist” to keep those visitors out. However, it is very difficult for zoos to do this job. A worker in Shanghai Zoo says that workers in the zoo will correct people’s mistakes and try to improve public awareness (意识) to stop this behaviour. Some people say that after hearing the news, they felt sorry for feeding animals at the zoo. Others say they are surprised to find that their “kind behaviours” could actually harm the animals. We human beings can express our feelings when we feel ill or uncomfortable, but this is impossible for animals. So it’s important for visitors to protect the animals—by not feeding them. 1.How did the writer explain that feeding animals is bad for them? A. By asking some questions. B. By showing a study about it. C. By showing an expert’s opinion. D. By listing some numbers about it. 2.What will workers in Shanghai Zoo NOT do? A. Correct people’s mistakes. B. Improve public awareness. C. Stop people when they feed animals. D. Make a “blacklist” to keep some people out. 3.What does the underlined word “this” refer to? A. Feeding animals. B. Feeling uncomfortable. C. Expressing their feelings. D. Showing their kind behaviours. 4.Which is the best title for the passage? A. Volunteer in Zoos B. Stop Feeding Animals C. Keep Animals in Zoos D. Raise Money for Animals Passage 4 （25-26八上·浙江绍兴新昌县七星中学·期中）①In the coastal (沿海的) city of Laguna in Brazil, there is a special fishing team. It is made up of fishermen and dolphins. They work together to catch fish. ②Mauricio Cantor from Oregon State University, the US, studied this partnership (合作关系). As he told Science News Explores, this started more than a century ago. ③“The dolphins are really good at finding fish in the murky water and driving them to the coast,” Cantor said. “The fishermen are really good at catching the fish with their nets.” Once the fish are caught in the nets, dolphins can move in and get some for themselves. ④Cantor’s study described how fishermen and dolphins give cues (暗示) to each other during fishing. When dolphins find fish, they drive them to the coast. Then they arch (弓着) their backs in front of the fishermen to tell them to throw nets. Fishermen will then throw the nets right away, or they may lose the best chance. “Fishermen need to be well-trained to understand the cues from dolphins,” said Cantor. ⑤The study found that fishermen are 17 times more likely to catch fish by working with dolphins. At the same time, the helpful dolphins have a 13 percent higher survival rate (存活率) than other dolphins. ⑥Human-animal partnerships have been hard to see in history. But they give us an idea of how positive our human interactions (互动) can be with nature. 1.What does “this” in Paragraph ② refer to? A. The city. B. The study. C. The university. D. The fishing team. 2.How do dolphins and fishermen work together according to the study? ①Dolphins arch their backs. ②Fishermen throw nets. ③Dolphins move in and get fish. ④Dolphins find fish in the water. ⑤Dolphins drive fish to the coast. A. ④③②⑤① B. ⑤①③②④ C. ④⑤①②③ D. ⑤②①④③ 3.In Paragraph ⑤, the writer mainly wants to show this partnership ________. A. should be improved and changed B. must last for a long time in history C. might bring about a win-win situation D. could be in danger and end soon 4.What would be the best title for the passage? A. Train Hard to Win B. Team Up to Fish C. Get Close to Nature D. Say Thanks to Animals Passage 5 （25-26八上·浙江杭州西湖区-五校联合考试·期中）Mothers are very special people. They not only give birth but they look after their children until they’re old enough to take care of themselves. Mothers don’t stop caring about their children even when they grow up. They want to know that they are healthy, happy and safe. Like humans, animals are doing the same. In some ways, they are like human mothers, but there are also some different ways they look after their offspring. Does your mum drive you to school, your music lesson or sports practice? Can you imagine your mother carrying you and your brothers and sisters on her back all the time? That’s what a Surinam toad (苏里南蟾蜍) mum does. She carries as many as 100 babies on her back until they’re old enough to swim by themselves. Does your mum tell you to tidy your room and make your bed? If you were an orange-utan (猩猩), your mum wouldn’t! Mother orang-utans from Indonesia are the only animal mothers who make a new bed for their babies every night. They collect fresh leaves and build their young beds high in the trees. Mums never let their babies out of their sight for the first two years. And after that, they keep them close until they’re six or seven years old. This is longer than any other animal. The world can be a scary place when you’re young, even if you’re an alligator (短吻鳄). That’s why mother alligators carry their babies in their mouths when they move through water or other dangerous places. In the past, people thought the mother was eating her babies! But in fact, she was just keeping them safe. These are just a few examples of animal mums. One thing is clear: without mums to care and protect their offspring, animals all over the world would be in danger! 1.What does the underlined word “offspring” mean in Paragraph 1? A. Mothers. B. Humans. C. Animals. D. Children. 2.What can we learn about mother orang-utans? A. They tidy their baby rooms each night. B. They make new baby beds every day. C. They build baby beds under big trees. D. They keep their babies close for ten years. 3.What do alligator mothers do to protect their babies? A. Put their babies on their backs. B. Eat their enemies when in danger. C. Keep their babies in their mouths. D. Avoid passing dangerous places. 4.What is the text mainly about? A. Human babies. B. Special animals. C. Animal mothers. D. Caring humans. 主题语境09 人与自然-环境 （25-26八上·浙江初中名校发展共同体·期中）A new study found that helping the environment—picking up trash, using less plastic, or walking instead of driving—can make people just as happy as doing activities like hobbies. In his research, Michael Prinzing from Baylor University in Texas looked at how eco-friendly activities affect (影响) happiness. “Many people think it’s hard to live in an eco-friendly way because it means giving up comfort,” Prinzing said. But helping others and being eco-friendly can actually make life more fun. His study was made up of two smaller studies. In the first study, 181 adults from 14 countries shared their daily activities and talked about how they felt for 10 days. The study found people felt happier on days when they did something good for the Earth. Prinzing’s second study looked at 545 college students in the US. They were put into three groups—one group did eco-friendly activities, another did fun activities, and the third just had a normal day. After two days, people in both the eco-friendly group and the fun activity group felt much happier than those in the third group. These studies suggest that helping the Earth helps people feel good. Each study only took place over a few days, so more research is needed to see if the effects last longer. But either way, doing something good for the Earth could make your day better 1.What does the word “eco-friendly” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Harmful to nature. B. Good for the Earth. C. Friendly to animals. D. Common in daily life. 2.How many people took part in Michael Prinzing’s two studies? A. 14. B. 181. C. 545. D. 726. 3.Which can we learn from the research by Michael Prinzing? A. Most people aren’t interested in eco-friendly activities. B. Living an eco-friendly life always means giving up things. C. Those who often do eco-friendly things may feel happier. D. The effects of eco-friendly activities on happiness last for a long time. 4.What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To encourage people to take part in fun activities. B. To compare different ways of getting happiness. C. To tell people about the difficulty of eco-friendly life. D. To introduce a study on eco-friendly activities and happiness. 主题语境01 人与社会-文化 （25-26八上·浙江宁波七中·期中）①In the hearts of Italian cities like Milan and Rome, a delicious cultural exchange (交流) is taking place. A new group of Chinese restaurateurs (饭店主理人) is introducing Chinese food to locals, building a bridge between the two cultures through shared meals. ②In Milan, a small restaurant called ZioZio, started by two Chinese art graduates, is surprising everyone. They pair rich, slow-cooked Chinese dishes from Sichuan with the bold red wines that Italians love. “We hope to spark (激发) curiosity and introduce more people to China’s regional food cultures,” they say. Their idea is a success. The cozy space is often full of local Italians enjoying this unique East-West combination (组合). The owners also share Chinese traditions, like inviting customers to taste moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival. ③Meanwhile, in Rome, a small store named Jiamo Lab is winning hearts with its classic snack, roujiamo, a Chinese flatbread stuffed with meat. But it offers more than just food. The walls tell the story of roujiamo and its birthplace, the ancient city of Xi’an. “When we eat here, we’re drawn to the cultural stories. They make us want to learn more about Chinese history,” says an Italian customer. The owner, Hu Chenqiang, believes food is an ideal way to share culture. “With Xi’an roujiamo, we naturally talk about the Terracotta Warriors,” he says. ④This new trend is changing how people abroad see Chinese food. For a long time, it was often just fried rice or sweet-and-sour pork. Now, special dishes from different parts of China are becoming popular. The owners are confident in their traditional tastes. “The more confidence we have in our own culture, the more interest foreigners will show in it,” Hu says. An Italian customer perfectly summarizes the phenomenon (现象): “Authentic Chinese cuisine is more than food; it is a bridge between cultures.” 1.What is special about the restaurant ZioZio in Milan? A. It is the biggest Chinese restaurant in Italy. B. It is managed by two Italian food lovers. C. It serves Chinese food with Italian wine. D. It only serves traditional Chinese mooncakes. 2.According to the owner of Jiamo Lab, how does food help in cultural exchange? A. By being a starting point to talk about Chinese history and culture. B. By making food sweeter for foreign customers. C. By teaching customers how to cook Chinese food. D. By changing traditional Chinese recipes. 3.Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 4.What’s the best title of this passage? A. The Best Chinese Restaurants in Italy. B. How to Cook Authentic Chinese Food. C. The History of Italian Food. D.

They’ve invented VirtX, a special suit (套装) that lets deaf people feel sounds. This suit uses special technology to make touch feelings from sounds. ②The World Health Organization says over 1.5 billion people all over the world have hearing problems, which may rise to over 2.5 billion by 2030. In China, over 15% of people also have hearing problems, about 206 million in total. ③Zheng, a 24-year-old student, said they decided to develop a product to help people sense sounds through touch. They used soft things like fabric (织物), with each thread (线) connected to a switch (开关). ④“Clothing is a good way to bring this technology into people’s daily lives. What’s more important is that it can improve people’s lives,” Zheng said. In the beginning, they wanted to help people with eye and hearing problems through touch. The outside part of the suit also has touch marks to help the people who can only see a little. ⑤Deaf people often can’t tell where sounds come from and this makes it hard for them to know what’s around. For example, when a car passes by, most people can know its place and how far it is by sound. But deaf people are not able to tell these things. ⑥VirtX tries to offer this information through touch to improve deaf people’s daily life. ________ For example, noisy places may mess up the suit’s touch. So far, customers’ opinions have encouraged them to make products for more people and use the technology in many social areas like fun games, training, and medicine. ⑦This year, the VirtX design won the top prize at the James Dyson Award in China. 1.What is VirtX according to the passage? A. To make fabric comfortable for deaf people. B. To help deaf people “feel” sounds through touch. C. To design fashionable clothing for disabled people. D. To help people with hearing loss by using good medicine. 2.What does the example in Paragraph 5 show? A. Cars are always dangerous for deaf people. B. Sound is the only way to know how far a car is. C. Deaf people need help to know the things around them. D. Most people are good at telling how far a car is by sound. 3.Which sentence can be put in “______” in the passage? A. The suit has already helped thousands of deaf people around China. B. Though it has a good future, there are still challenges with the technology. C. They spent three years making the first VirtX suit and tested it many times. D. Deaf people can wear the suit easily and it doesn’t cost too much money. 4.What is the main idea of the passage? A. The history of hearing loss research. B. A plan for meeting disabled people’s needs. C. A technical way to improve deaf people’s lives. D. The discussion of future technology for deaf people. Passage 2 （25-26八上·浙江金华浦江县实验中学·期中） In Chongqing, China, a new robot named Peipei is helping take care of the elderly. Peipei works at a centre for old people.

A boy and a girl are throwing two baby puffins (海鹦) off a cliff (悬崖). In fact, they are just trying to help save them. Puffins are the most common birds on the Westman Islands in Iceland. Each spring, they lay eggs in caves on cliffs. Forty days later, they will fly back to the sea, leaving the young there. Baby puffins would spend about six weeks in the caves alone before they’re ready to fly to the sea. In the past, young puffins could find the sea by following the light of the moon. But now bright lights of the city often make them lose their way. Many of them end up flying into the town. However, it’s not an easy thing for young puffins to fly up and find food in the town. That’s why people on the Westman Islands have decided to help those young puffins. In late summer, young puffins leave their caves. Instead of turning off the lights, local people often go out to look for the lost puffins at night. If they find one, they would pick it up and put it in a box. The next day, they would take it to the cliff and throw it off. In this way, young puffins can fly safely toward their new home for the next few years. The unusual tradition also helps make sure the puffins will be back to their caves another year. Puffins lay one egg each year at most, so the help from the people is important to the puffins. 1.What can we know about puffins? A. People can see these birds easily on the Westman Islands. B. Mother puffins lay eggs in caves on cliffs in summer. C. Mother puffins fly back to the sea with their babies. D. Baby puffins would spend six months in the caves alone. 2.What causes young puffins to fly into the town according to the text? A. The light of the moon. B. Bright lights of the city. C. Delicious food in the town. D. Children in the town. 3.What’s the correct order of the way to help young puffins? ①People go out to look for the lost puffins at night. ②People throw baby puffins off a cliff. ③People pick puffins up and put them in a box. ④People take the lost puffins to the cliff the next day. A. ①②③④ B. ①③④② C. ③④①② D. ④③①② 4.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. Puffins now can go back to their caves by themselves. B. People in the town will turn off the lights to help puffins. C. With help, puffins will probably lay more eggs each year. D. Throwing baby puffins off a cliff becomes a tradition there. Passage 2 （25-26八上·浙江杭州杭州中学·期中）Ants are small insects, but they have many superpowers (超能力). They live almost everywhere on the earth, from gardens to deserts. There are over 12,000 ant species in the world. These tiny animals work together in highly organized groups called colonies (群体). Each colony acts like a busy city, with every ant having a special job. Worker ants are all female and spend their days searching for food, building tunnels and taking care of baby ants. Soldier ants use their strong jaws (下颌) to protect the colony from danger, while the queen ant’s job is to lay eggs—sometimes up to 1,000 a day! One of the coolest things about ants is their amazing strength. An ant can carry objects that are 50 times heavier than its own body weight! If humans had that power, a child could lift a car! Ants also “talk” to each other by touching their antennae (触须) and leaving scent trails (气味痕迹). These trails help other ants to find food quickly. For example, if one ant finds biscuit pieces, it leaves a scent trail for the rest of the colony to follow. Ants are not just strong—they’re also smart. Fire ants join their bodies together to create floating rafts (浮筏) during floods. Also, ants help the environment by eating dead insects and spreading seeds. Next time you see a line of ants, try dropping a tiny piece of fruit nearby. Watch how they team up to carry it away. These tiny superheroes show that teamwork truly makes the dream work! 1.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The number of ants in the world. B. Why there are so many ants in the wild. C. How ants work together in the face of danger. D. The roles of different kinds of ants in a colony. 2.What does the underlined word “objects” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Facts. B. Mistakes. C. Things. D. Actions. 3.Why docs the writer say “a child could lift a car”? A. To say humans are weaker than ants. B. To show ants have amazing strength. C. To explain how people like tiny ants. D. To encourage children to exercise more. 4.What's the writer’s purpose in writing the text? A. To show the differences between ants and other animals. B. To encourage readers to learn more about ants. C. To explain how ants fight against natural dangers. D. To describe some facts about ants. Passage 3 （25-26八上·浙江“山海联盟”·期中） Bees are small but super important insects around us. You might see them flying from flower to flower on sunny days, but do you know what they are busy doing? First, bees help plants grow. When they land on a flower to drink sweet nectar (花蜜), tiny pollen sticks (黏在) to their bodies. As they fly to the next flower, some pollen falls off. This process, called pollination, lets plants make fruits and seeds. Without bees, we would lose many foods like apples and strawberries. Second, bees make honey—everyone’s favourite sweet treat! Worker bees collect nectar and carry it back to their hives (蜂房). Then, they pass the nectar to other bees, who fan it with their wings. This dries the nectar into golden honey. A hive of bees can make up to 100 pounds of honey in one year. There are three kinds of bees in a bee group: a queen bee (who lays eggs), hundreds of drone bees (who mate with the queen) and thousands of worker bees (who do all the work—collecting nectar, building the hive, and feeding the young). They work together like a well-organized team. But bees are in trouble now. Pesticides (杀虫剂), loss of flower fields and climate change make their homes and food hard to find. We can help by planting more flowers in our gardens and not using harmful pesticides near plants. 1.What do bees mainly do when they fly from flower to flower? A. Play with other insects. B. Look for their hives. C. Collect nectar and pollinate. D. Eat nectar and make fruits. 2.Which kind of bee does the most work in a bee group? A. The queen bee. B. The worker bee. C. The drone bee. D. The baby bee. 3.What can we do to help bees according to the text? A. Catch them and keep them at home. B. Plant flowers and use less pesticide. C. Take all their honey to make food. D. Cut down flower fields to build houses. 4.In which part of the magazine can we read the text? A. Culture. B. Health. C. People. D. Nature. 主题语境06 人与自然-自然 （25-26八上·浙江宁波七中·期中）Wetlands, the “Earth’s kidneys,” are vital for a healthy planet. They clean our water and provide homes for wildlife. But for a long time, humans saw them as useless land, filling them in for farms and cities, which caused water pollution and loss of animal homes. Thankfully, the story is changing. People now understand the importance of wetlands and are working to bring them back. A great example is the creation of wetland parks in China, like the Xixi National Wetland Park in Hangzhou. It shows how humans and nature can live in harmony (和谐). Protecting wetlands starts with us. We can begin by learning about the wetlands near us and the life they support. A visit to a wetland park can help us see their beauty and understand their value firsthand. In our daily lives, saving water is also a powerful way to help, as using less water means more clean water can flow to these areas. Finally, sharing what we’ve learned with friends and family can spread the message of conservation further. By taking these steps, we can all be part of protecting these wonderful places. Protecting wetlands is not just about saving nature; it is about protecting our own future. 1.Why are wetlands called the “Earth’s kidneys”? A. Because they are shaped like kidneys. B. Because they are home to many animals. C. Because they are not useful to humans. D. Because they help to clean water. 2.What is the correct order of the advice given in the passage on how to protect wetlands? a. Tell others about it. b. Save water in daily life. c. Learn about local wetlands. d. Visit a wetland park. A. a c b d B. c d b a C. b a d c D. d c a b 3.What is the special part about the Xixi National Wetland Park according to the passage? A. It keeps all its birds in large cages for visitors. B. It is the largest wetland park in the world. C. It successfully balances nature protection and human enjoyment. D. It does not allow any visitors to enter in order to protect nature. 4.What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To complain about how people destroyed wetlands in the past. B. To explain how to build a wetland park step by step. C. To list all the animals that can be found in Xixi Wetland Park. D. To encourage people to protect and live in harmony with wetlands. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $函学科网 www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 专题04阅读理解（说明文） 基础必练 主题语境01人与社会-文化 Passage 1 【答案】1.D2.A3.A4B Passage 2 【答案】1.C2.D3.C4.D 主题语境02人与社会-旅游 Passage 1 【答案】1.A2.C3.D Passage 2 【答案】1.A2.D3.B4.C 主题语境03人与社会-社会 【答案】1.C2.A3.D4.B 主题语境04人与社会-科普知识与现代技术 【答案】1.C2.D3.A 主题语境05人与自我-个人情况 Passage 1 【答案】1.B2.A3.D4.C Passage 2 【答案】1.B2.B3.C4.A 115 函学科网 www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 主题语境06人与自我-学校活动 Passage 1 【答案】1.B2.B3.D Passage 2 【答案】1.B2.A3.C 主题语境07人与自我-安全与救护 【答案】1.D2.B3.A 主题语境08人与自我家庭、朋友与周围的人 【答案】1.C2.D3.A4.B 主题语境09人与自我-日常活动 【答案】1.C2.A3.B 进阶提升 主题语境01人与社会-旅游 【答案】1.A2.C3.D4.B 主题语境02人与社会-社会 【答案】1.C2.D3.B4.A 主题语境03人与社会-科普知识与现代技术 Passage 1 【答案】1.B2.D3.B4.A Passage 2 【答案】1.A2.D3.C4.A 215 西学科网 www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 Passage 3 【答案】1.C2.B3.C4.D Passage 4 【答案】1.A2.D3.A4.D Passage 5 【答案】1.C2.B3.D4.A Passage 6 【答案】1.B2.D3.C Passage 7 【答案】1.D2.B3.C4.C Passage 8 【答案】1.A2.B3.A4.B Passage 9 【答案】1.D2.B3.D4.A 主题语境04人与自我-个人兴趣 【答案】1.A2.B3.D4.A 主题语境05人与自我-个人情况 Passage 1 【答案】1.C2.B3.A4.B Passage 2 【答案】1.A2.B3.D4.A 主题语境06人与自我-方法与哲理 【答案】1.D2.D3.B4.C 主题语境07人与自我-节假日活动 【答案】1.B2.B3.D4.A 315 函学科网 www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 主题语境08人与自然-动物与植物 Passage 1 【答案】1.B2.A3.A Passage 2 【答案】1.C2.B3.D4.A Passage 3 【答案】1.C2.D3.C4.B Passage 4 【答案】1.D2.C3.C4.B Passage 5 【答案】1.D2.B3.C4.C 主题语境09人与自然-环境 【答案】1.B2.D3.C4D 》 拓展培优 主题语境01人与社会-文化 【答案】1.C2.A3.B4D 主题语境02人与社会-文学 【答案】1.B2.D3.C 主题语境03人与社会-科普知识与现代技术 Passage 1 【答案】1.B2.C3.B4.C Passage 2 【答案】1.D2.C3.A4.A 4/5 函学科网 www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 主题语境04人与社会-节日 【答案】1.D2.A3.C4.B 主题语境05人与自然-动物与植物 Passage 1 【答案】1.A2.B3.B4.D Passage 2 【答案】1.D2.C3.B4.D Passage 3 【答案】1.C2.B3.B4.D 主题语境06人与自然-自然 【答案】1.D2.B3.C4.D 5/5
