(25-26八上·福建南平一中·期中)When we talk about communication, we often think of talking with others. But do you know that we also talk with ourselves from time to time? For example, your mum asks you what you would like for breakfast. Many foods come to your mind: sandwiches, bread, milk… You think that it would be great to have sandwiches. You are talking with yourself until you tell your mum what you want to eat.
We call this kind of communication “intrapersonal (内心的) communication”. This can be talking to ourselves, reading, writing, thinking, understanding and remembering something.
Intrapersonal communication plays a big part in our lives. Good intrapersonal communication allows you to understand yourself better. When you’re comfortable with who you are, and you know what you want, you can better get on with yourself. Also, intrapersonal communication helps you keep an eye on your thoughts (想法) and feelings. When you find that your mind is full of bad thoughts and sad feelings, you will try to cheer up and get rid of them.
What’s more, intrapersonal communication helps you to talk with others. Understanding your thoughts and feelings better lets you put yourself in others’ shoes when you talk to or listen to them. Then, you can better understand and get on with them.

Passage 2
(25-26八上·福建厦门集美区灌口中学·期中)
Do you get tired when climbing mountains? A special robot now can help you. At Mount Tai in Shandong Province, tourists can try exoskeleton robots. These amazing robots help them climb Mount Tai much more easily and quickly.
The exoskeleton robot is light and weighs only 1.8 kg. Tourists can carry it easily. When they start climbing, they can wear it around the waist (腰部) and the top part of each leg. With the help of AI, the robot car senses the wearer’s movement. Every time they take a step, it helps to lift their legs so they won’t feel tired when climbing.
Li Chengde, a 68-year-old tourist from Jinan, tried the robot when he climbed Mount Tai. “It worked really well. Once I put it on, my legs didn’t hurt (疼痛) anymore. It felt like someone was pulling me up the mountain,” he said.
A worker at Mount Tai said the exoskeleton robots could help older tourists experience the mountain’s beauty firsthand. “Some old people want to see the sights along the way, but sitting in cable cars (缆车) makes it hard for them to enjoy the full scenery. With the help of these robots, they can truly experience the joy of climbing,” he added.
Some young people are also interested in such exoskeleton robots, but the old need them more as there are millions of old people in our country. By the end of 2024, the population aged 60 and above in China was 310 million. This number is still growing. To better serve the old people’s needs, there will be more lightweight (轻量的) exoskeleton robots to help them with walking, running and climbing.

Passage 1
(25-26八上·福建泉州安溪一中·期中)What do you know about the Tang Dynasty (唐朝)? You may think of Li Bai, one of the most famous poets (诗人) in history. And now, we can know his life stories in the animated movie, Chang’an. The movie tells the life stories of Li Bai and his close friend Gao Shi. They experienced many things together. It also tells the stories of other famous poets such as Du Fu, Wang Wei, Wang Changling and more.
From my viewpoint, Chang’an is seen from the perspective (视角) of Gao Shi, a far less famous poet than Li Bai. With him leading the plot (引领情节发展), people can find it easy to enjoy the movie and understand the changes of the Tang Dynasty well.
I think poems describe not only the changes of the Tang Dynasty, but also people’s understanding and feelings of the world. Chang’an is like a moving scroll (画卷) that allows us to become interested in ancient poetry.
The almost three-hour-long movie shows 48 well-known Tang poems. Which Tang poem do you like best?

A. The Song Dynasty.
B. The Han Dynasty.

Passage 2
(25-26八上·福建福州十六中·期中)①What should you do when you can’t find the time to do a long workout? Have you heard of exercise snacks (零食运动法)?
②Exercise snacks are a popular and creative new way for people to stay fit. Instead of spending hours on the playground, people break that “large meal” into exercise “snacks”. These exercises can last anywhere from 20 seconds to two minutes. Then you can have a rest for 30 minutes to four hours before another snack.
③It is reported that exercise snacks can be as useful as traditional exercise methods. Just three exercise snacks a day can benefit your physical health. Besides that, there are lots of other benefits. Your concentration (专注力) and creativity get better, and you can become more productive. Also, “snacking” throughout the day stops you from sitting too long.
④There are so many acceptable exercise snacks, like doing sit-ups, jumping rope or running up and down some stairs (楼梯). But for those who don’t know where to start, here are some helpful exercise choices:
⑤Exercises such as lifting weights will satisfy the needs. Since most people don’t keep weights at their offices, lift full water bottles.
⑥Squats (深蹲)—moving your body as if to sit down while keeping your back straight. Five to ten of these should make a good snack.
⑦For those who don’t like traditional exercises, simply turn up the music. Pick a lively song and start dancing. It’ll make for a fun workout.
What are you waiting for? Let’s get moving. Your body will thank you for it.

Passage 1
(25-26八上·福建南平一中·期中)
Yushu in Qinghai is a home for black-necked cranes (鹤). These cranes travel very far every year. They spend about 5 months in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (高原).

(25-26八上·福建厦门莲花中学·期中)The animal world is full of teamwork. No matter if it’s in the deep sea, on the wide deserts, or in the thick forests, animals have come up with really cool ways to work together.
In a wolf group, each wolf has a job. The leader wolf decides what to do when it’s time to hunt. Some wolves go out to look for prey (猎物), other wolves drive the prey towards the wolves that are waiting. They take turns running to wear the prey out. They use wolf calls, body language, and smells to talk to each other. Wolves also help each other take care of the baby wolves, protect their home, and share food.
Ants live in well-organized colonies (群体). What an ant does depends on its age, size, and type. Some ants go out to find food. Others take care of the baby ants, build or fix the nest to keep the colony safe. They use pheromones (信息素) to talk. When an ant finds food, it leaves the pheromone. Then other ants follow it to get the food. Their teamwork is so good that they can build their own organized communities.
Dolphins also live in groups. They work together in many ways. When swimming for a long time, they take turns leading the way at the front, making it easier for the other dolphins to follow. When they hunt, they use echolocation (回声波) to find fish and tell the other dolphins.

But because fewer and fewer people went to watch the show in the theater, he moved his shows online. On March 28, 2020, Gao had his first online show and more than 1.2 million people watched this show. This can’t happen in a theater.

(25-26八上·福建福州鼓楼区屏东中学·期中)In 2011, a pretty Dutch (荷兰的) schoolgirl, Laura Dekker, wasn’t shopping for clothes with her girlfriends. She wasn’t going to parties or watching popular shows on TV. For all of 2011, she was sailing (航行) around the world on a boat. But it wasn’t a holiday. She wasn’t on a ship with her family. She was sailing around the world alone.
When she finished her journey, she became the youngest person to sail alone around the world, with stops. She was 16 years and 123 days old. Two years before her record-breaking trip, Australian Jessica Watson also sailed alone around the world. But she did it without stops. She was a bit older than Laura and her challenge was bigger because she didn’t stop anywhere.
These girls are not unusual. There are many teenagers who are taking risks (冒险) and trying to break records. But why are they in a hurry to do it all now? Why don’t they wait until they are older and have more experience?
One reason is that we have explored everything except the oceans. There isn’t really anything new to do. Many people have climbed Mount Everest (珠穆朗玛峰) or sailed around. The only way to break a record now is to do it at a younger age. But this can be very dangerous when something goes wrong. For example, when you are sailing in a storm and you’re tired, you need experience to stay alive. You don’t have much experience when you are young.
So why do teenagers take risks? “Kids dream more than adults,” said one teenage explorer. Maybe he’s right. What do you think?
1.What did Laura Dekker do in 2011?
A. She shopped with friends.

2.How was Jessica Watson’s journey different from Laura Dekker’s?
A. She finished a trip across the sea.

D. She was younger than Laura.
3.Why do young teenagers try to break records in a hurry?
A. They aren’t afraid of anything.
B. They have more experience.
C. Few new challenges left.
D. It’s safer to do it when young.
4.What danger do young record-breakers face?

Passage 1
(25-26八上·福建厦门湖滨中学·期中)Recently, a robot called Mobile ALOHA caught the eye of many people because of a video (视频) on the Internet. There, it was cooking at someone’s home.
Scientists at Stanford University developed (开发) the robot and it can do different kinds of housework, like watering plants, petting cats, cleaning the floor, and washing clothes. It even knows how to shake the pillow (抖枕头) after putting it into a pillow cover.
Sounds good? Well, the team posted another video and it may let you down. In the video, Mobile ALOHA carelessly breaks the glasses and plates, runs into a table, and even burns (烧坏) a pot. The idea of having a robot as a servant (仆人) may just be wishful thinking. Scientists keep working on this problem. Now the robot can move chairs right 80% of the time. For cooking dishes, it’s only 40%.
Mobile ALOHA doesn’t have self-learning abilities. Instead, it learns from people’s actions before doing each piece of housework. When something changes, it can’t work well and may easily end up causing problems. Scientists say that such AI robots can do better in difficult things, such as doing math questions and playing chess. They need more thinking abilities. When it comes to easy housework like cleaning, they face difficulties!
“There is always room for improvement,” Stanford team said. “Before robots can do all housework well, let’s enjoy the moments when families roll up their sleeves (卷起袖子) and work together.”

Passage 3
(25-26八上·福建泉州安溪一中·期中)Scientists from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China created a robot (机器人) “guide dog”. The robot will help blind (失明的) people.
With the help of cameras and AI, the robot dog can “see”, “hear”, and talk to blind people. It can help blind people go outside. And it can also be a good “friend” at home. The robot dog has six legs. These legs help the dog speed up and keep its balance (平衡) better. So it can move faster. Blind people can use a special cane (手杖) to control (控制) the dog to walk or run. When they walk across the street, this robot dog can tell when traffic lights are red or green, but real guide dogs can’t.
Lots of blind people were excited about the dog. For example, Li Fei helped to test the robot. She is 41 and she can’t see anything. Li said, “I am so happy. When the robot dog leads (引领) me forward (向前), I can finally walk in a straight line. I think the dog will become common among blind people soon.”
In China, there are about 17,000,000 blind people. One of the scientists, Gao Feng, said, “Our robot dog will be eyes for blind people. We believe this can really improve their lives.”

(25-26八上·福建福州鼓楼区屏东中学·期中)In recent years, smartwatches have become very popular. Many people wear them every day, not only to check the time but also to help with health, work, and communication. A smartwatch is like a small computer on your wrist (腕). It can do many things that a normal watch cannot.
One of the main reasons people like smartwatches is that they can monitor their health. For example, a smartwatch can count how many steps you take each day, measure your heart rate (率), and remind you to stand up if you sit for too long. Some smartwatches can even check your sleep habits and tell you how well you sleep at night. This can help people make better choices about their health and fitness.
Smartwatches are also useful for communication. Many of them can connect to your phone, so you can read messages, answer calls, and receive messages without taking your phone out of your bag. This is very convenient when you are busy or when your hands are full.
In addition, smartwatches are helpful for work and daily life. You can use them to set alarms, check the weather, and use maps for directions. Some smartwatches also have apps for music, shopping, or paying for things without using cash. They make life faster and easier.
However, smartwatches are not perfect. The battery (电池) usually needs charging every one or two days, and the small screen can be hard to use for long periods. Also, good smartwatches can be expensive.
In my opinion, smartwatches are a great invention (发明). They help people stay healthy, save time, and make life more convenient. If the price goes down and the battery life improves, I think even more people will choose to wear them.
1.What does the underlined word “monitor” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Check and record.

D. The screen is unclear to see.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A. How smartwatches are made.
B. How to use smartwatches safely.

Passage 2
(25-26八上·福建福州鼓楼区屏东中学·期中)Fu Yingchun, 34, a psychological counselor (心理咨询师) of nine years, works in Shanghai and accepts appointments (接受预约) online. A counseling (咨询) meeting, where visitors share their stories, usually lasts an hour.
Many troubles visitors face may come from dealing with relationships and sudden events. The goal of the meetings is to communicate with the guests about their troubles and discover their hidden (隐藏的) feelings, needs and wishes that they aren’t ready to share. For example, when a visitor is unhappy about the room temperature, it may be that the person is hiding some other problems, said Fu. So, counselors have to not only notice the tiny details of the visitors’ behaviors but also “translate” them according to their professional (专业的) knowledge. “It’s easier than it seems because I use empathy (同理心), so their behavior is easy to understand,” Fu said.
Hearing people’s day-to-day troubles, counselors may have their down days, too. “This is why every counselor must report to their own senior counselor. They need to speak out about their bad feelings,” Fu said.
However, Fu doesn’t regard her job as being a “Rubbish bin” for people’s complaints (抱怨). “Most of the time, I think my work has a strong social value because, in a way, counselors also save lives,” Fu said. Seeing her “patients” getting out of their bad moods, Fu gets a sense of self-worth (自我价值). “Also, I see visitors’ life problems as life lessons,” she added.
1.When did Fu Yingchun start to work as a psychological counselor?
A. At the age of 34.
B. In her thirties.
C. In her mid-twenties.
D. At 19 years old.
2.What do the visitors do in a counseling meeting?
A. Make an appointment online.
B. Deal with their relationships with others.
C. Share their stories.
D. Think about their troubles.
3.How does Fu Yingchun do her job?
A. Teach her visitors some professional knowledge.
B. Tell her own stories to her visitors.
C. Comfort (安慰) her visitors by controlling the room temperature.
D. See reasons behind the visitors’ behaviors.
4.What do counselors do to get through their down days?
A. Take time off work.
B. Stay away from other people.
C. Report to their own senior counselor.
D. Share their own feelings with their patients.
5.How might Fu see her job?
A. Useless. B. Boring. C. Meaningful. D. Magical.

In 2025, one of the hottest topics in China is “weight management.” Since March this year, when the National Health Commission (NHC) announced plans to set up more weight management clinics (门诊) in hospitals, people in China have become very interested in managing their weight.
In China, the problem of overweight people is becoming more prevalent (盛行的). In 2020, about one-third of adults and nearly one-fifth of children were overweight. This is an important concern because it can result in various health problems as people age. There are many reasons for this trend (趋势). A reason for weight gain is that many people now eat more junk food and sugary drinks. These foods contain too many calories (热量). Moreover, some children are burdened with too much homework, leaving them little time for sports. Some adults also have busy jobs and do not exercise regularly.
The government is taking steps to solve the problem. Hospitals are building specialized clinics to teach people healthier eating habits and the importance of regular exercise. Schools are putting more sports activities into their lessons. There are also classes for the elderly to learn about healthy living, with community support helping them achieve their health goals. By working together, China aims to educate both children and adults on weight management (管理). Through these efforts, the country is striving to build a healthier nation.

Passage 2
(25-26八上·福建莆田二十五中·期中)
We all know that getting the flu (流感) is not fun. There are headaches, coughs, fevers, and other terrible feelings. To help us get better, we take some medicine and get much rest. We also drink lots of water and eat healthy food to make us feel better.
However, some people don’t want to get sick at all. So, they get a flu shot before the flu season starts. The flu shot is, in fact, a vaccine (疫苗), not usual cold medicine. It will protect them from the flu.
The vaccine introduces some of the flu into the body. But don’t worry. The flu is dead and won’t make you sick. It will teach your body to know it and fight it off in the future. Vaccines not only protect you but also protect others. That’s because they help stop illnesses from spreading (扩散) from person to person. When fewer people have the illnesses, the chances of getting them go down. Sometimes, the illnesses completely go away.
Even though vaccines are quite safe, some adults are afraid of them. Their worry is that the vaccines will cause serious side effects (副作用). Vaccines might cause side effects, but they are usually not as terrible as people imagine. For most people, vaccines are ________ and make them better.

Passage 3
(25-26八上·福建福州平潭一中教研片·期中)Background
Recently, a disease called chikungunya (基孔肯雅热) has spread fast and become a big problem worldwide.
What is Chikungunya?
Chikungunya is an illness spread by mosquitoes (蚊子). It does not spread from person to person. When an infected (被感染的) mosquito bites you, it can make you sick. Symptoms usually appear 3-7 days later and include:
1. High fever (over 39℃)
2. Headaches and tiredness
3. A red rash (皮疹) on the skin
4. Very bad joint pain (especially in hands and feet)
These problems can last for weeks or even months. While most people get better, it can be very serious, especially for older people or those already sick.
How does it spread?
The mosquito spreading this disease most often is the tiger mosquito (虎斑蚊). It loves warm weather and water. Sadly, as our planet gets warmer, this mosquito is moving to new places. Right now, there are big outbreaks happening in Guangdong, China. Travelers can bring it to new areas, like Quanzhou, Fujian.
How to protect yourself?
Chikungunya is tricky because its symptoms look similar to other diseases, which makes it difficult for doctors to know for sure what you have. The best way to fight chikungunya is to stop mosquitoes from biting you. Here’s what you can do:
☑Use mosquito repellent (驱蚊剂) on your skin and clothes. Choose products with DEET or picaridin.
☑Wear long shirts and pants, especially in the morning and evening. Light-colored clothes help too!
☑ Empty water from things like flower pots or old tires around your house every week, because mosquitoes like laying their eggs in standing water.
☑Use a mosquito net while sleeping if needed.
1.What mainly spreads chikungunya to people?
A. Mosquito bites.
B. Infected persons.
C. Dirty waters.
D. High temperature.
2.Which symptom is NOT mentioned for chikungunya?
A. High fever.
B. Coughing.
C. Joint pain.
D. Feeling very tired.
3.What can we learn about the disease from the text?
A. It only appears in China.
B. Mosquitoes like rainy days and water.
C. Travelers don’t like it.
D. It may spread wider as the world gets warmer.
4.Why should people empty water from flower pots weekly?
A. To save water for mosquitoes.
B. To make the garden look tidy.

Whether it’s a happy face, a little heart or a thumbs-up, emojis (表情符号) are an important part of how people all over the world communicate in messages online. In fact, 10 billion of them are sent every day!
The first emojis were created in 1999 by a Japanese designer named Shigetaka Kurita. His first set had 176 simple symbols, but these days we have more than 3,500 different emojis to choose from!
Even though there are so many emojis, some are used much more often than others. To find out which emojis are the most popular, technology company Baidu Japan looked at emoji use in 16 countries, including Japan, the US, the UK and France during the first half of 2025.

And according to Baidu Japan’s data (数据), the crying face was the most popular emoji in 12 out of the 16 countries it looked at.
In fact, the top emojis tend to be quite similar in most countries, with crying faces and laughing faces appearing again and again.
In many countries, people use hearts to show love for family or friends. However, cultural differences affect emoji use. In Japan, hearts are mostly used for romantic love, so people choose other emojis to show how they feel.

Passage 2
(25-26八上·福建福州台江华伦中学·期中)Let’s be honest with ourselves—most of us may have a few bad habits, and they might be anything from eating unhealthily to checking the phone over and over again to not getting enough sleep. Bad habits offer us a sense of comfort, making them hard to break. But as a matter of fact, we can break them and create good habits to improve our lives.
Experts (专家) believe the first step to breaking a bad habit is admitting (承认) you have a bad habit. Besides admitting you have it, try to find out why you got into the bad habit. When you understand the cause, it becomes much easier to deal with it. Then, get rid of your bad habit and start a good one. For example, if you overeat when you get bored, try exercising instead (替代). And the rest is to keep trying. ▲ Many experts believe it can take three weeks or more to form a new, good habit. Habits can be hard to break because you’ve had them for a long time, and it takes time and patience for you to change.
Breaking a bad habit is challenging, so take small steps and be kind to yourself. Keep the end goal in mind, but remember that a long journey is made up of many small steps. Reward (奖励) yourself as you successfully take those small steps. Reaching the end goal will be its own reward (回报), so give yourself some encouragement along the way.
Sometimes, you may need support from others. Family and friends can help you in breaking bad habits. When you’re having a hard time, they can be there to back you up and provide the courage you need to get through.

Passage 2
(25-26八上·福建莆田二十五中·期中)Earthworms (蚯蚓) are farmers’ friends. They can make holes in the soil, so rain and air can go through, making the soil loose and fertile. This helps plants grow. But some earthworms are making problems in the USA.
The earthworms are called Asian jumpers. They came to the USA from Asia. They are big and strong. They can jump off the ground. They can also grow as long as 15 cm. These strong worms can get into very hard soil. In the 1980s, American farmers used them a lot. Now these worms are here and there in some American forests. However, Asian jumpers are big eaters. They also like to live in very big groups. They eat the leaf litter (落叶层) on the forest floor very quickly.
This is not good for the forest. Many plant seeds need the leaf litter to grow. Some other animals also eat the litter as food. Asian jumpers take their food away.
The leaf litter also protects the forest. The Asian jumpers eat the litter and open up the forest to illness.

Passage 3
(25-26八上·福建厦门松柏中学·期中)
The Venus flytrap (捕蝇草) is an amazing meat-eating plant growing in a small area of North Carolina and South Carolina in the United States. While most plants get their “food” from the soil, this clever hunter uses special leaves to catch insects. Each leaf acts like a tiny green mouth with special hairs.
When an insect touches one of the hairs, the leaf is triggered (触发), but it doesn’t close right away. However, if the insect touches a second hair within 20 seconds, the leaf closes quickly and catches the insect inside. This “double-touch rule” stops the plant from wasting energy on things like drops of rain. Even then, the plant waits for the fifth touch from the insect before digesting (消化) it.
The Venus flytrap does not need to eat insects very often. In fact, it can survive for weeks without food as long as it gets enough sunlight. On average, it catches two to three insects every month. These meals help the plant to grow, much like a bear living off a few large fish.
▲ A survey by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program in 2019 found 163,951 Venus flytraps in North Carolina and 4,876 in South Carolina. This marked a 93% drop compared with 4.5 million in 1979. By 2016, the plant could only be found in the wild in 71 places. However, only 20 of these could help the plant to grow.
The Venus flytrap shows us how creative nature can be. It’s not just a plant—it’s a smart hunter too!
1.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. How the hunting system works.
B. Why the Venus flytrap eats insects.
C. What the Venus flytrap looks like.
D. What the Venus flytrap needs to grow well.
2.What does the underline word “survive” mean?

Passage 4
(25-26八上·福建厦门一中·期中)Did you ever imagine fish living in space? Well, Chinese scientists made it happen. Zebrafish are small but helpful for science. In a space study on zebrafish, they set a new record. They successfully got four zebrafish to live and grow in a closed-water ecosystem.
The zebrafish went to China’s space station on the Shenzhou XVIII spaceship on April 25, 2024. Since then, they have been living in a closed-water ecosystem with some plants. The fish grew up and had babies in 43 days. The fish and plants helped each other to stay alive. This success is a big step for future space farming.
In their special closed ecosystem, the plants made oxygen for the fish and the fish’s waste gave the plants food. The scientists gave the fish food through a special tool. Such a closed-loop ecosystem is important for future studies in space. It means that plants and animals can live in space more simply and easily.
The scientists also discovered that the zebrafish acted differently than on Earth. For example, they often swam on their backs. This study helps us see how space affects living things. ________ On Earth, gravity (重力) pulls everything towards Earth’s centre, and animals can find their way easily. Gravity also makes their bodies work harder and become stronger. This shows how space changes life in surprising ways.
Humans and zebrafish share 70 percent of the same genes (基因). So the new finding will help scientists better understand human health. This could be a big step for humans living in space some day.
1.What do we know about the space study?
A. It lasted for less than one month.
B. It happened in an open water ecosystem.
C. There were more than four zebrafish at last.
D. Scientists from different countries did it together.
2.Which picture should be put in the circle to show the closed-loop ecosystem?
A.
B.
C.
D.
3.Which sentence can be put in “________”?
A. Scientists are still studying this.
B. The fish made the space station noisy.
C. The low gravity in space is a big reason.
D. The plants in the ecosystem didn’t grow.
4.What can we infer (推断) about the result of the low gravity in space?
A. The zebrafish swam quickly.
B. Animals could easily find their way.
C. Human bodies got less strong.
D. The zebrafish could fly out of water.
5.The main idea of the passage is about ________.
A. the space study on zebrafish
B. the meaning of the space study
C. the plan for studying human genes
D. further studies about zebrafish on Earth

(25-26八上·福建厦门六中·期中)Fish babies in space? What surprising news! In a space study on zebrafish, Chinese scientists have set a new record. They successfully got the four zebrafish to live and grow healthily in a closed water world.
The zebrafish went to Chinese station on the Shenzhou XVIII spaceship on April 25. Since then, they have been living in a closed fish tank (缸) with some plants. The fish grew up and had babies in 43 days. It means the fish finished a whole life stage, from growth to development and giving babies.
In their special closed environment, the plants made air for the fish and the fish’s waste gave the plants food. The scientists gave the fish food through a special needle (针管).
Such a closed environment is important for future studies in space. It means that plants and animals can live in space more easily.
The scientists also found that the zebrafish acted differently in space. For example, they often swam on their back in space. The low gravity (重力) in space is a big reason. However, on the Earth, gravity pulls everything to Earth’s center, and animals can find their way easily. Gravity also makes their bodies work harder and become stronger.
It isn’t the first time fish have been sent to space. Zebrafish were earlier sent to space station in 1976. Why do scientists choose zebrafish? Humans and zebrafish share 70 percent of the same genes (基因). So the new finding will help scientists better understand human health and human illness.

These dolphins are a national treasure. Interestingly, they are not born pink. Baby dolphins are black: As they grow older, their skin color changes to pink! The sea around Xiamen, especially near the Jiulong River Estuary (河口), is an important home for them.
However, these friendly dolphins face challenges. The water can get polluted, and there are many boats. This noise and pollution make it difficult for dolphins to find food and stay safe. Their population is decreasing, which worries scientists.
To protect the dolphins, people in Xiamen are taking action. Scientists like Zeng Qianhui study them closely. There are now protected areas where boat speeds are limited. Local fishermen also help by fishing in a dolphin friendly way. Everyone, including students in Xiamen, is learning how to keep the sea clean.

Passage 1
(25-26八上·福建福州十六中·期中)Drums have been a key part of Chinese culture for a long time, and they are much more than just musical instruments. Confucius, a famous teacher, regarded the “drum dance” highly. It is also the beginning of the Chinese“guwu”.
The drum in China can date back to the Pottery Age (陶器时代). The Zhou Dynasty set up the drum music organization and developed a complete drum music system. From then on, drums came to be used in traditional ancient activities.
Drums also played a key role in growing crops (庄稼) successfully. Since the sound of drums sounds like thunder (雷声), it was believed that playing the drums could bring rain. Drums also played a part in wars because the sound could be heard from far away and create fear in the hearts of the enemies.
In the Tang and Song Dynasties, drums were used for different activities because their sound could make the atmosphere (气氛) happier. The national band, drama, folk art, song and dance, boat racing and lion dance were all performed with the beat of drums.
Today, there are many kinds of Chinese drums. For example, the “Taiping Drum” is used to express hope for a peaceful society, while the “Ansai Waist Drum (安塞腰鼓)” is used to show the spirit of the farmers in Shaanxi. There are also some cheerful and traditional drum dances, such as the “Fengyang Flower Drum” in Anhui Province and the “Fishing Drum Dance” in Jiangsu Province.

Passage 3
(25-26八上·福建厦门外国语学校·期中)Chinese titles like quanzi are commonly used by us to refer to certain people, but have you wondered about their origins?
Showing modesty and respect
In ancient China or even sometimes today, Chinese people call their sons quanzi. This actually shows their modesty.
People believe that dogs are humble animals. When Chinese parents used quanzi to refer to their son, they are being modest. Of course most parents do have high expectation for their children and want them to be successful. However, they don’t usually talk about it in front of others. Instead, they try to play it down. This is similar to how even rich Chinese people call their big houses ________, which means my humble home.
Although Chinese people are modest about themselves, they praise others a lot. They call their own son quanzi, but others’ sons linglang, which is a respectful way to say “your son”.
Spreading seeds of education
Do you know the Chinese idiom “taoli mantianxia”? It refers to a teacher who taught so many students that they spread across the country, like peach and plum trees. This idiom comes from a story about Zizhi, an official who lived in the State of Wei (475-221 BC). Zizhi was knowledgeable. He opened a private school and started to teach students.
Zizhi was kind and wise. He picked students without caring about how rich or successful they were. He often pointed at a peach and a plum tree in his yard and asked students to work hard. “You should become a useful person for others, just like when the plum comes into flowers and yield fruit,” he said.
Keeping these words in mind, many of Zizhi’s students went on to different places around the country, achieving great things along the way. They would plant peach and plum tree to show their respect for their teacher.
Since then, the words “peach and plum tree” have been used to refer to students who have been successful in their post-study life.
1.Which Chinese phrase should go in “________” in Paragraph 3?
A. 寒舍 B. 贵府 C. 华堂 D. 敝履
2.What does the word yield mean?
A. pick B. make C. produce D. process
3.What can we infer from this passage?
A. The teaching way of Zizhi only works for the traditional society.
B. Manners, like politeness and respect have a long history in China.
C. Peach and plum trees are used to refer to a great teachers like Zizhi.
D. In China, you can call your friend quanzi to show your modesty.
4.What does it refer to in this passage?
A. Chinese parents are being modest.
B. Chinese parents hope they can have big houses.
C. Chinese parents hope their son will be modest.
D. Chinese parents hope their kids will have a bright future.
5.How does the author organize the main ideas in the passage?

Passage 1
(25-26八上·福建厦门外国语学校·期中)Have you always thought that kids are smarter than adults? You’d be right—at least when it comes to learning new things.
New research shows that kids do get new knowledge and learn new skills faster than grown-ups. It all comes down to something in the brain called GABA, which helps newly learned material stick in the brain. Researchers have found GABA levels increase rapidly in the brains of children of primary school age while they are learning new tasks or information. However, GABA levels in the brains of adults, aged 18 to 35, don’t change during or after lessons in new tasks and information.
“Our results show that children of primary school age can learn more within a given period of time than adults,” said Takeo Watanabe, a teacher at Brown University in the US.
Dr Sebastian Frank, from the University of Regensburg in Germany, said their findings agreed with the common opinion that children outperformed adults in their learning abilities. “GABA plays a key role in making learning efficient (效率高的),” added Dr Frank.
The researchers suggested teachers and parents should give children as many chances as possible to develop new skills. For example, ________. Professor Watanabe said the findings could also be used to help adults learn more efficiently. “For example, a new technology or therapy (疗法) could be developed to increase the level of GABA in the brains of adults.”
1.Which shows the changes of children’s and adults’ GABA levels when they learn new things?
A.
B.
C.
D.
2.What does the underlined word “outperformed” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Were the same as.
B. Did better than.
C. Depended on.
D. Looked up to.
3.Which of the following can be put in “________”?
A. Children can learn how to ride a bike or swim.
B. Children can remember more English words.
C. Children can memorize all the grammar rules.
D. Children can learn as many historical facts as possible by heart.
4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Parents should do everything for their kids.
B. It’s impossible to change the level of GABA in adults’ brains.
C. Adults can learn more rapidly because of their wide experience.
D. Children should be given more chances to learn new skills.
5.What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. New ways to increase GABA levels.
B. Different learning methods of kids and adults.
C. The reason why kids are better at learning than adults.
D. Some suggestions on how to improve our learning abilities.
Passage 2
(25-26八上·福建泉州晋江侨声中学·期中)Everyone enjoys music. But do you know it can improve the life of sick kids?
A famous musician once said music could change the world! In fact, music changes the world a lot. In Australia, a scientist, Catherine, starts a music program. The program puts smiles on the faces of kids in hospitals across the country.
It seems that a few minutes of music a day can help keep the doctor away! “Music can make you feel happy and relaxed and take away your stress,” says Catherine.
In the past, people believed that music had a great effect on both the mind and the body, but it was only about 70 years ago that scientists began to study its medical benefits (益处). They found that playing music in hospitals helped sick soldiers feel better. Then, doctors began to use music to help patients. They also used it to help kids in schools get better marks because it allowed them to relax and pay more attention.
Now there is a special program called Music Therapy (音乐疗法). It helps people improve their quality of life in many different ways by using music. It includes listening to music, playing instruments, singing, song-writing and other games. Sophia is 11. She got cancer five months ago. Now playing music, learning new songs and singing became part of her life. $函学科网

(25-26八上·福建南平一中·期中)When we talk about communication, we often think of talking with others. But do you know that we also talk with ourselves from time to time?

Do you get tired when climbing mountains? A special robot now can help you. At Mount Tai in Shandong Province, tourists can try exoskeleton robots. These amazing robots help them climb Mount Tai much more easily and quickly.
The exoskeleton robot is light and weighs only 1.8 kg. Tourists can carry it easily. When they start climbing, they can wear it around the waist (腰部) and the top part of each leg. With the help of AI, the robot car senses the wearer’s movement. Every time they take a step, it helps to lift their legs so they won’t feel tired when climbing.

With the help of these robots, they can truly experience the joy of climbing,” he added.
Some young people are also interested in such exoskeleton robots, but the old need them more as there are millions of old people in our country.

Passage 2
(25-26八上·福建福州十六中·期中)①What should you do when you can’t find the time to do a long workout? Have you heard of exercise snacks (零食运动法)?
②Exercise snacks are a popular and creative new way for people to stay fit. Instead of spending hours on the playground, people break that “large meal” into exercise “snacks”. These exercises can last anywhere from 20 seconds to two minutes. Then you can have a rest for 30 minutes to four hours before another snack.
③It is reported that exercise snacks can be as useful as traditional exercise methods. Just three exercise snacks a day can benefit your physical health. Besides that, there are lots of other benefits. Your concentration (专注力) and creativity get better, and you can become more productive. Also, “snacking” throughout the day stops you from sitting too long.
④There are so many acceptable exercise snacks, like doing sit-ups, jumping rope or running up and down some stairs (楼梯). But for those who don’t know where to start, here are some helpful exercise choices:
⑤Exercises such as lifting weights will satisfy the needs. Since most people don’t keep weights at their offices, lift full water bottles.
⑥Squats (深蹲)—moving your body as if to sit down while keeping your back straight. Five to ten of these should make a good snack.
⑦For those who don’t like traditional exercises, simply turn up the music. Pick a lively song and start dancing. It’ll make for a fun workout.
What are you waiting for? Let’s get moving. Your body will thank you for it.

(25-26八上·福建福州鼓楼区屏东中学·期中)In 2011, a pretty Dutch (荷兰的) schoolgirl, Laura Dekker, wasn’t shopping for clothes with her girlfriends. She wasn’t going to parties or watching popular shows on TV. For all of 2011, she was sailing (航行) around the world on a boat. But it wasn’t a holiday. She wasn’t on a ship with her family. She was sailing around the world alone.
When she finished her journey, she became the youngest person to sail alone around the world, with stops. She was 16 years and 123 days old. Two years before her record-breaking trip, Australian Jessica Watson also sailed alone around the world. But she did it without stops. She was a bit older than Laura and her challenge was bigger because she didn’t stop anywhere.
These girls are not unusual. There are many teenagers who are taking risks (冒险) and trying to break records. But why are they in a hurry to do it all now? Why don’t they wait until they are older and have more experience?
One reason is that we have explored everything except the oceans. There isn’t really anything new to do. Many people have climbed Mount Everest (珠穆朗玛峰) or sailed around. The only way to break a record now is to do it at a younger age. But this can be very dangerous when something goes wrong. For example, when you are sailing in a storm and you’re tired, you need experience to stay alive. You don’t have much experience when you are young.
So why do teenagers take risks? “Kids dream more than adults,” said one teenage explorer. Maybe he’s right. What do you think?
1.What did Laura Dekker do in 2011?
A. She shopped with friends.
B. She watched TV shows often.

A. She finished a trip across the sea.
B. She didn’t make any stops.
C. Her journey was less challenging.
D. She was younger than Laura.
3.Why do young teenagers try to break records in a hurry?
A. They aren’t afraid of anything.
B. They have more experience.
C. Few new challenges left.
D. It’s safer to do it when young.
4.What danger do young record-breakers face?
A. They may not have enough experience to solve problems.
B. They don’t examine their body.
C. Their dreams of breaking records are impossible.
D. The adults don’t support their risky activities.
5.What is the best title for the text?
A. Why Adults Take Fewer Risks
B. How to Sail Around the World
C. How to Be Safe from Sailing Risks
D. Why Teenagers Take Risks

Sounds good? Well, the team posted another video and it may let you down. In the video, Mobile ALOHA carelessly breaks the glasses and plates, runs into a table, and even burns (烧坏) a pot. The idea of having a robot as a servant (仆人) may just be wishful thinking. Scientists keep working on this problem. Now the robot can move chairs right 80% of the time. For cooking dishes, it’s only 40%.
Mobile ALOHA doesn’t have self-learning abilities. Instead, it learns from people’s actions before doing each piece of housework. When something changes, it can’t work well and may easily end up causing problems. Scientists say that such AI robots can do better in difficult things, such as doing math questions and playing chess. They need more thinking abilities. When it comes to easy housework like cleaning, they face difficulties!
“There is always room for improvement,” Stanford team said. “Before robots can do all housework well, let’s enjoy the moments when families roll up their sleeves (卷起袖子) and work together.”

C. Mobile ALOHA is not yet perfect.
D. Mobile ALOHA can do housework well.
3.The underlined words “wishful thinking” probably means something that is ________.
A. unlikely to happen
B. based on facts
C. easy to achieve
D. well planned
4.What is the best title for the text?

Passage 4
(25-26八上·福建福州鼓楼区屏东中学·期中)In recent years, smartwatches have become very popular. Many people wear them every day, not only to check the time but also to help with health, work, and communication. A smartwatch is like a small computer on your wrist (腕). It can do many things that a normal watch cannot.
One of the main reasons people like smartwatches is that they can monitor their health. For example, a smartwatch can count how many steps you take each day, measure your heart rate (率), and remind you to stand up if you sit for too long. Some smartwatches can even check your sleep habits and tell you how well you sleep at night. This can help people make better choices about their health and fitness.
Smartwatches are also useful for communication. Many of them can connect to your phone, so you can read messages, answer calls, and receive messages without taking your phone out of your bag. This is very convenient when you are busy or when your hands are full.
In addition, smartwatches are helpful for work and daily life. You can use them to set alarms, check the weather, and use maps for directions. Some smartwatches also have apps for music, shopping, or paying for things without using cash. They make life faster and easier.
However, smartwatches are not perfect. The battery (电池) usually needs charging every one or two days, and the small screen can be hard to use for long periods. Also, good smartwatches can be expensive.
In my opinion, smartwatches are a great invention (发明). They help people stay healthy, save time, and make life more convenient. If the price goes down and the battery life improves, I think even more people will choose to wear them.
1.What does the underlined word “monitor” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Check and record.
B. Keep and enjoy.
C. Follow and improve.
D. Set and correct.
2.What can a smartwatch do?

Passage 2
(25-26八上·福建福州鼓楼区屏东中学·期中)Fu Yingchun, 34, a psychological counselor (心理咨询师) of nine years, works in Shanghai and accepts appointments (接受预约) online. A counseling (咨询) meeting, where visitors share their stories, usually lasts an hour.
Many troubles visitors face may come from dealing with relationships and sudden events. The goal of the meetings is to communicate with the guests about their troubles and discover their hidden (隐藏的) feelings, needs and wishes that they aren’t ready to share. For example, when a visitor is unhappy about the room temperature, it may be that the person is hiding some other problems, said Fu. So, counselors have to not only notice the tiny details of the visitors’ behaviors but also “translate” them according to their professional (专业的) knowledge. “It’s easier than it seems because I use empathy (同理心), so their behavior is easy to understand,” Fu said.
Hearing people’s day-to-day troubles, counselors may have their down days, too. “This is why every counselor must report to their own senior counselor. They need to speak out about their bad feelings,” Fu said.
However, Fu doesn’t regard her job as being a “Rubbish bin” for people’s complaints (抱怨). “Most of the time, I think my work has a strong social value because, in a way, counselors also save lives,” Fu said. Seeing her “patients” getting out of their bad moods, Fu gets a sense of self-worth (自我价值). “Also, I see visitors’ life problems as life lessons,” she added.
1.When did Fu Yingchun start to work as a psychological counselor?
A. At the age of 34.
B. In her thirties.
C. In her mid-twenties.
D. At 19 years old.
2.What do the visitors do in a counseling meeting?
A. Make an appointment online.
B. Deal with their relationships with others.
C. Share their stories.
D. Think about their troubles.
3.How does Fu Yingchun do her job?
A. Teach her visitors some professional knowledge.
B. Tell her own stories to her visitors.
C. Comfort (安慰) her visitors by controlling the room temperature.
D. See reasons behind the visitors’ behaviors.
4.What do counselors do to get through their down days?
A. Take time off work.
B. Stay away from other people.
C. Report to their own senior counselor.
D. Share their own feelings with their patients.
5.How might Fu see her job?
A. Useless. B. Boring. C. Meaningful. D. Magical.

Passage 3
(25-26八上·福建福州平潭一中教研片·期中)Background
Recently, a disease called chikungunya (基孔肯雅热) has spread fast and become a big problem worldwide.
What is Chikungunya?
Chikungunya is an illness spread by mosquitoes (蚊子). It does not spread from person to person. When an infected (被感染的) mosquito bites you, it can make you sick. Symptoms usually appear 3-7 days later and include:
1. High fever (over 39℃)
2. Headaches and tiredness
3. A red rash (皮疹) on the skin
4. Very bad joint pain (especially in hands and feet)
These problems can last for weeks or even months. While most people get better, it can be very serious, especially for older people or those already sick.
How does it spread?
The mosquito spreading this disease most often is the tiger mosquito (虎斑蚊). It loves warm weather and water. Sadly, as our planet gets warmer, this mosquito is moving to new places. Right now, there are big outbreaks happening in Guangdong, China. Travelers can bring it to new areas, like Quanzhou, Fujian.
How to protect yourself?
Chikungunya is tricky because its symptoms look similar to other diseases, which makes it difficult for doctors to know for sure what you have. The best way to fight chikungunya is to stop mosquitoes from biting you. Here’s what you can do:
☑Use mosquito repellent (驱蚊剂) on your skin and clothes. Choose products with DEET or picaridin.
☑Wear long shirts and pants, especially in the morning and evening. Light-colored clothes help too!
☑ Empty water from things like flower pots or old tires around your house every week, because mosquitoes like laying their eggs in standing water.
☑Use a mosquito net while sleeping if needed.
1.What mainly spreads chikungunya to people?
A. Mosquito bites.
B. Infected persons.
C. Dirty waters.
D. High temperature.
2.Which symptom is NOT mentioned for chikungunya?
A. High fever.
B. Coughing.
C. Joint pain.
D. Feeling very tired.
3.What can we learn about the disease from the text?

B. Mosquitoes like rainy days and water.
C. Travelers don’t like it.
D. It may spread wider as the world gets warmer.
4.Why should people empty water from flower pots weekly?
A. To save water for mosquitoes.
B. To make the garden look tidy.
C. To stop mosquitoes from laying eggs.
D. To test if water is clean.
5.Where is this text most probably from?
A. A news report on TV.
B. A health magazine.
C. A travel guide book.
D. An art website.
【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D 4. C 5. B

Whether it’s a happy face, a little heart or a thumbs-up, emojis (表情符号) are an important part of how people all over the world communicate in messages online. In fact, 10 billion of them are sent every day!
The first emojis were created in 1999 by a Japanese designer named Shigetaka Kurita. His first set had 176 simple symbols, but these days we have more than 3,500 different emojis to choose from!
Even though there are so many emojis, some are used much more often than others. To find out which emojis are the most popular, technology company Baidu Japan looked at emoji use in 16 countries, including Japan, the US, the UK and France during the first half of 2025.

And according to Baidu Japan’s data (数据), the crying face was the most popular emoji in 12 out of the 16 countries it looked at.
In fact, the top emojis tend to be quite similar in most countries, with crying faces and laughing faces appearing again and again.
In many countries, people use hearts to show love for family or friends. However, cultural differences affect emoji use. In Japan, hearts are mostly used for romantic love, so people choose other emojis to show how they feel.

Passage 2
(25-26八上·福建福州台江华伦中学·期中)Let’s be honest with ourselves—most of us may have a few bad habits, and they might be anything from eating unhealthily to checking the phone over and over again to not getting enough sleep. Bad habits offer us a sense of comfort, making them hard to break. But as a matter of fact, we can break them and create good habits to improve our lives.
Experts (专家) believe the first step to breaking a bad habit is admitting (承认) you have a bad habit. Besides admitting you have it, try to find out why you got into the bad habit. When you understand the cause, it becomes much easier to deal with it. Then, get rid of your bad habit and start a good one. For example, if you overeat when you get bored, try exercising instead (替代). And the rest is to keep trying. ▲ Many experts believe it can take three weeks or more to form a new, good habit. Habits can be hard to break because you’ve had them for a long time, and it takes time and patience for you to change.
Breaking a bad habit is challenging, so take small steps and be kind to yourself. Keep the end goal in mind, but remember that a long journey is made up of many small steps. Reward (奖励) yourself as you successfully take those small steps. Reaching the end goal will be its own reward (回报), so give yourself some encouragement along the way.
Sometimes, you may need support from others. Family and friends can help you in breaking bad habits. When you’re having a hard time, they can be there to back you up and provide the courage you need to get$
