When you are at work, it can make you better understand your tasks. It can also help you open your ears and minds. You can see the world through the eyes of others. However, the fact is that most people aren’t really listening to another person. Instead, they are actually thinking about what they should say in reply. If you want to know how to be a good listener, read on to get started ·Give the speaker your all attention. Turn off the TV, your phone or computer. Once you talk face to face, you need to keep your mind quiet, and pay attention to what the other person is saying. ·Don’t cut in. Many people have a habit of cutting in and giving out quick opinions before people finish what they are speaking. That’s impolite. Listen and save your words until the speaker finishes speaking. ·Let the speaker know you are listening patiently. Not everyone is good at speaking. Some people take longer time to share their points. “It sounds great” “What happened next?”… These are useful for keeping the sharing going on. It takes time to be a good listener.

To show you are not interested in their story. B. To help the speaker remember more words. C. To let the speaker keep the sharing going on. 5.What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To explain why someone is bad at listening. B. To tell readers how to be a good listener. C. To show when people should listen. 【答案】1. A　2. C　3. A　4. C　5.

But sometimes we have to learn to say “no”. To learn to say “no”, we have to first understand what’s stopping us about it. There are some common reasons why people find it hard to say “no”. You want to help others. You are a kind soul at heart. You don’t want to turn the person away and you want to help when possible, even if it may take up your time. Afraid of being rude. I was brought up under the idea that saying “no”, especially to people who are older, is rude. This thinking is common in Asian culture, where face-saving is important. It means not making others look bad or lose face. Wanting to be agreeable. At times, you find you are not in agreement. You don’t want to keep yourself away from the group, so you agree to do others’ requests (请求). Fear of conflict. The person might be angry when you refuse him. This might lead to an ugly conflict. Even if there isn’t, there might be disagreement which might lead to bad effects in the future. Fear of losing opportunities. Sometimes, saying “no” means closing doors or losing opportunities. It may make you feel worried. For example, one of my friends was asked to work in another department (部门) in her company. Since she liked her team, she didn’t want to go. However, she didn’t want to say “no” as she felt it would affect her promotion (晋升) opportunities in the future. 1.What is the main reason for a kind person hard to say “no”? A. He is not good at talking. B. He has too much free time. C. He wants to help other people. 2.Why is saying “no” especially difficult for people in some Asian cultures? A. Because they are always very busy. B. Because they think it will make them look weak. C. Because they believe it is not polite, especially to older people. 3.What does the word “conflict” mean in Chinese? A. 丢脸。 B. 冲突。 C. 打架。 4.How many reasons for people hard to say “no” in this passage? A. There are 3. B. There are 5. C. There are 6. 5.What’s the best title for the passage? A. How to Say “No”? B. When and Where to Say “No”? C. Why do People Hard to Say “No”? 【答案】1. C　2. C　3. B　4. B　5. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇议论文，探讨了人们难以说“不”的几个常见原因，包括想要帮助他人、害怕显得粗鲁、想要随和、害怕冲突以及害怕失去机会等。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“You want to help others. You are a kind soul at heart. You don’t want to turn the person away and you want to help when possible, even if it may take up your time.”可知，心地善良的人难以说“不”的主要原因是他们想帮助别人。故选C。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“I was brought up under the idea that saying ‘no’, especially to people who are older, is rude. This thinking is common in Asian culture, where face-saving is important.”可知，在一些亚洲文化中，说“不”尤其是对长辈说“不”是困难的，因为他们认为这样做不礼貌。故选C。 (3)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据文章第五段“The person might be angry when you refuse him. This might lead to an ugly conflict.”可知，当你拒绝别人时，对方可能会生气，这可能导致一个不好的“conflict”。结合语境和选项可知，“conflict”意为“冲突”。故选B。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第二段至第六段，分别提到了“想要帮助别人”、“害怕显得粗鲁”、“想要随和”、“害怕冲突”和“害怕失去机会”这五个原因，所以文章中提到了五个难以说“不”的原因。故选B。 (5)题解析： 最佳标题题。文章主要探讨了人们难以说“不”的几个原因，所以最佳标题应该是与这一主题相关的。选项A“如何说‘不’？”和选项B“何时何地说‘不’？”都没有直接涉及到文章的主题，而选项C“为什么人们难以说‘不’？”则直接点明了文章的主题。故选C。 主题语境02 人与社会-科普知识与现代技术 Passage 1 （25-26八上·广西壮族自治区桂林市桂林中学·期中）“Look in my eyes. Tell me why.” Have you found yourself listening to “ancient people” online recently? Creative vloggers (视频博主) are using AI technology to bring famous people from history like Tang Dynasty poets Li Bai and Du Fu “back to life”. These videos have become popular, showing these ancient icons (代表人物) speaking in modern language. In one video, Du Fu talks about his experience during the An-Shi Rebellion (755-763). In another, Ming Dynasty medical expert Li Shizhen makes fun of modern lifestyles like trying to be healthy by drinking goji berry (枸杞) water but still staying up late. “The videos make me want to learn more about important ancient people. I didn’t know much about their stories before,” said Wang Jiayi, 15, from Shandong. The new trend (趋势) isn’t for everyone. The way these ancient people speak, in high voices and always asking questions, annoys some people. “They’re too pushy, which is different from how they really were,” said 14-year-old Wang Shuotong from Jiangsu. Xia Boen, 14, from Hubei, felt the same. But he was surprised to find that he “remembered almost everything they said about their experiences and achievements” thanks to the speaking style in the videos. These videos use a more modern way to let ancient people “speak for themselves”. However, “we should be careful with these videos, making sure they are not sharing wrong information,” noted Nanfang Daily. 1.What historical event does Du Fu talk about in the video? A. Modern lifestyles. B. The Tang Dynasty. C. The An-Shi Rebellion. 2.How does Wang Jiayi feel about the videos? A. Angry. B. Interested. C. Unclear. 3.What does Wang Shuotong think about the way the ancient people speak in the videos? A. It is too pushy. B. It is very realistic. C. It is too quiet. 4.Which of the following is mentioned (提到) in the article? A. Explain how to make historical videos. B. Compare ancient and modern lifestyles. C. Introduce a new trend of bringing ancient people “back to life” through AI. 5.What can be inferred (推断) from the article? A. All teenagers love the videos. B. The videos are only popular in Shandong. C. The videos might sometimes share incorrect information. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. A　4. C　5. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了AI技术让历史名人“复活”并制作成视频的新趋势，以及不同人对这种视频的看法。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第3段“In one video, Du Fu talks about his experience during the An-Shi Rebellion (755-763).”可推知，杜甫在视频中谈论的是安史之乱。故选C。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第4段“The videos make me want to learn more about important ancient people. I didn’t know much about their stories before...”可推知，王佳怡对这些视频很感兴趣。故选B。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“They’re too pushy, which is different from how they really were...”可推知，王硕童认为视频中古人的说话方式太咄咄逼人。故选A。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章整体内容，尤其是第1段“Creative vloggers are using AI technology to bring famous people from history like Tang Dynasty poets Li Bai and Du Fu ‘back to life’.”可推知，文章主要提到了通过AI让古人“复活”的新趋势。故选C。 (5)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However, ‘we should be careful with these videos, making sure they are not sharing wrong information,’ noted Nanfang Daily.”可推知，这些视频有时可能会分享错误信息。故选C。 Passage 2 （25-26八上·广西柳州七中网校·期中） Do you know about red pandas? They are bamboo-eating animals with brown fur and long tails. Most of the red pandas live in China, Nepal and Bhutan. At first, people thought that both the red panda and the panda belonged to the same family, the bear family. Thanks to DNA results, scientists finally grouped the red panda into a new family, the family Ailuridae (熊猫科). Red pandas are now in danger. The number of red pandas around the world dropped by about half in the last twenty years. In 2024, scientists said that there were only about 20,000 red pandas. Why are red pandas in danger? Some people catch them to make clothes like hats with their special fur, and some catch them for animal shows. The biggest challenge (挑战) for them is that they are losing their homes because humans are cutting down trees for wood . There are some activities around the world to protect red pandas. It's important to let more people learn about them and work together to protect them. For this reason, some people created International Red Panda Day (on the third Saturday of September). On that day, people can learn about the discovery of the red panda, its living places and other information through free lessons. Scientists are building more teams to better study red pandas. What can we do for red pandas? We can share videos about animal protection online or join an International Red Panda Day activity near us! 1.What can we learn about red pandas? A. Most red pandas live in China. B. Red pandas hardly ever eat bamboo. C. Grouping them into the Ailuridae family isn’t an easy thing. 2.How many red pandas were there 20 years ago? A. About 40,000. B. About 20,000. C. About 10,000. 3.What’s the most important cause of red pandas being in danger? A. People cut down trees for wood. B. People catch them to make clothes. C. People want to watch red pandas perform. 4.Why did some people create International Red Panda Day? A. To better study red pandas. B. To celebrate the discovery of red pandas. C.

Do you believe it can take you from place to place in minutes? It sounds like science fiction, right? Well, not anymore. An electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL,电动垂直起降) aircraft (飞行器), also known as an air taxi, completed its first inter-city flight in Guangdong on Feb 27. The eVTOL aircraft started its journey from Shenzhen to Zhuhai, completing the 55-kilometer trip in about 20 minutes. This flight is an important development of this exciting new form of transport. Air taxis use high technology to take off and land vertically like a helicopter, which doesn’t need long runways. Instead of using traditional combustion engines, air taxis use electric motors. These air taxis have propellers placed all over them to help them stay balanced. They also use lithium-ion batteries to store electricity, letting them fly far and fast. With a central command center that keeps an eye on the flight, some of them can fly without a pilot. There is no doubt that air taxis can help improve heavy traffic, with their direct point-to-point travel saving valuable time for urban people. Except this benefit, as an eco-friendly choice, air taxis produce fewer emissions than traditional cars, improving urban air quality. However, air taxis also need special places to take off and land, which means they need eVTOL airports called “vertiports”. Now researchers are trying to make full use of the existing (现有的) small airports to serve as “vertiports”. And with plans to fly at low altitudes (纬度)in cities, there’s still much work to be done to keep everyone safe. 1.Why does the author use the questions in paragraph 1? A. To carry out a survey. B. To show the author's dream. C. To interest readers. 2.What helps air taxis stay balanced? A. A helicopter. B. Propellers. C. Lithium-ion batteries. 3.What does the underlined word “benefit” mean? A. Advantage. B. Choice. C. Way. 4.According to the last paragraph, what may next researches focus on? A. How to fly higher and more safely. B. How to improve urban air quality. C. How to fly at low altitudes more safely. 5.What’s the best title of the passage? A. A new form of transport. B. The history of air taxis. C. The popularity of air taxis. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. A　4. C　5. A 【解析】【导语】 本文介绍了电动垂直起降飞行器（eVTOL，即空中出租车）这一新型交通方式。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。第一段用 “Did you ever imagine flying over the city in an air taxi that has no pilot? ”你是否想象过无人驾驶空中出租车？这类问题开篇，是为了吸引读者兴趣。故选C。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据 “These air taxis have propellers placed all over them to help them stay balanced” 可知，螺旋桨帮助空中出租车保持平衡。故选B。 (3)题解析： 词句猜测题。前文提到 “air taxis can help improve heavy traffic, with their direct point-to-point travel saving valuable time for urban people”可知空中出租车能缓解交通、节省时间，这是它的 “优势”，因此 “benefit” 对应 “Advantage优势”。故选A。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据最后一段 “with plans to fly at low altitudes in cities, there’s still much work to be done to keep everyone safe”可知，后续研究可能聚焦于低空飞行的安全性。故选C。 (5)题解析： 最佳标题题。文章围绕 “空中出租车” 这一新型交通方式展开，介绍其特点、优势与待解决的问题。故选A。 Passage 5 （25-26八上·广西桂林第一中学·期中）Is the Internet good or bad? It’s always a hot topic in our daily life. Different people may have different answers. Since the Internet came into being, it has brought us pleasure and tears. Today, let’s take a look at some things that are disappearing as the Internet grows up. When modern people need to record some important things quickly, they don’t find a pen and a piece of paper to write, but to open their mobile phone or computer to record. As a result, it’s common for many people to “pick up the pen but forget words”. Perhaps, in a few years, will pen and paper disappear? As people more and more lose themselves in the online world, the real-looking photos disappear and they can only watch the beautiful pictures on the Internet. If one day you send a real photo in your circle of friends, others will even think if it is a photo to make fun of. Now everyone can get digital (数字的) maps in a few seconds by using computers or mobile phones. They are easy and fast for users. Do you remember the last time to look at a paper map? After a busy day for the whole family, people used to watch TV together, share information and express feelings.

If you are, you are not alone. In fact, close to 50% of people are shy. Almost 80% of people feel shy at some point in their lives. These days, shyness is becoming more and more common. Now, scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy. ②Is it possible to be born shy? Many scientists say yes. They say 15% to 20% of babies act shyly and quietly. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists think that some shyness is genetic (遗传的). ③Family size might lead people to be shy as well. Scientists found that most of the children with elder brothers and sisters became shy. Because their elder brothers and sisters often bullied (欺侮) them. At the same time, children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. ④You may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientists studied shyness in different countries, they found surprising differences. In Japan, most people said they were shy. But in Israel, only one of three people said so. What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure. In Japan, when people do not succeed, they feel bad about themselves. They blame (责备) themselves for their failure. In Israel, the opposite is true. Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons, such as family, friends, or bad luck. ⑤For shy people, it can be difficult to make friends, speak in class, and even get a good job. But scientists say you can get away from your shyness. They suggest trying new things and practicing conversations (对话).

When you are at work, it can make you better understand your tasks. It can also help you open your ears and minds. You can see the world through the eyes of others. However, the fact is that most people aren’t really listening to another person. Instead, they are actually thinking about what they should say in reply. If you want to know how to be a good listener, read on to get started ·Give the speaker your all attention. Turn off the TV, your phone or computer. Once you talk face to face, you need to keep your mind quiet, and pay attention to what the other person is saying. ·Don’t cut in. Many people have a habit of cutting in and giving out quick opinions before people finish what they are speaking. That’s impolite. Listen and save your words until the speaker finishes speaking. ·Let the speaker know you are listening patiently. Not everyone is good at speaking. Some people take longer time to share their points. “It sounds great” “What happened next?”… These are useful for keeping the sharing going on. It takes time to be a good listener.

Tell me why.” Have you found yourself listening to “ancient people” online recently? Creative vloggers (视频博主) are using AI technology to bring famous people from history like Tang Dynasty poets Li Bai and Du Fu “back to life”. These videos have become popular, showing these ancient icons (代表人物) speaking in modern language. In one video, Du Fu talks about his experience during the An-Shi Rebellion (755-763). In another, Ming Dynasty medical expert Li Shizhen makes fun of modern lifestyles like trying to be healthy by drinking goji berry (枸杞) water but still staying up late. “The videos make me want to learn more about important ancient people. I didn’t know much about their stories before,” said Wang Jiayi, 15, from Shandong. The new trend (趋势) isn’t for everyone. The way these ancient people speak, in high voices and always asking questions, annoys some people. “They’re too pushy, which is different from how they really were,” said 14-year-old Wang Shuotong from Jiangsu. Xia Boen, 14, from Hubei, felt the same. But he was surprised to find that he “remembered almost everything they said about their experiences and achievements” thanks to the speaking style in the videos. These videos use a more modern way to let ancient people “speak for themselves”. However, “we should be careful with these videos, making sure they are not sharing wrong information,” noted Nanfang Daily. 1.What historical event does Du Fu talk about in the video? A. Modern lifestyles. B. The Tang Dynasty. C. The An-Shi Rebellion. 2.How does Wang Jiayi feel about the videos? A. Angry. B. Interested. C.

Most of the red pandas live in China, Nepal and Bhutan. At first, people thought that both the red panda and the panda belonged to the same family, the bear family. Thanks to DNA results, scientists finally grouped the red panda into a new family, the family Ailuridae (熊猫科). Red pandas are now in danger. The number of red pandas around the world dropped by about half in the last twenty years. In 2024, scientists said that there were only about 20,000 red pandas. Why are red pandas in danger? Some people catch them to make clothes like hats with their special fur, and some catch them for animal shows. The biggest challenge (挑战) for them is that they are losing their homes because humans are cutting down trees for wood . There are some activities around the world to protect red pandas. It's important to let more people learn about them and work together to protect them. For this reason, some people created International Red Panda Day (on the third Saturday of September). On that day, people can learn about the discovery of the red panda, its living places and other information through free lessons. Scientists are building more teams to better study red pandas.

Do you believe it can take you from place to place in minutes? It sounds like science fiction, right? Well, not anymore. An electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL,电动垂直起降) aircraft (飞行器), also known as an air taxi, completed its first inter-city flight in Guangdong on Feb 27. The eVTOL aircraft started its journey from Shenzhen to Zhuhai, completing the 55-kilometer trip in about 20 minutes. This flight is an important development of this exciting new form of transport. Air taxis use high technology to take off and land vertically like a helicopter, which doesn’t need long runways. Instead of using traditional combustion engines, air taxis use electric motors. These air taxis have propellers placed all over them to help them stay balanced. They also use lithium-ion batteries to store electricity, letting them fly far and fast. With a central command center that keeps an eye on the flight, some of them can fly without a pilot. There is no doubt that air taxis can help improve heavy traffic, with their direct point-to-point travel saving valuable time for urban people. Except this benefit, as an eco-friendly choice, air taxis produce fewer emissions than traditional cars, improving urban air quality. However, air taxis also need special places to take off and land, which means they need eVTOL airports called “vertiports”. Now researchers are trying to make full use of the existing (现有的) small airports to serve as “vertiports”. And with plans to fly at low altitudes (纬度)in cities, there’s still much work to be done to keep everyone safe. 1.Why does the author use the questions in paragraph 1? A. To carry out a survey. B. To show the author's dream. C. To interest readers. 2.What helps air taxis stay balanced? A. A helicopter. B. Propellers. C. Lithium-ion batteries. 3.What does the underlined word “benefit” mean? A. Advantage. B. Choice. C. Way. 4.According to the last paragraph, what may next researches focus on? A. How to fly higher and more safely. B. How to improve urban air quality. C. How to fly at low altitudes more safely. 5.What’s the best title of the passage? A. A new form of transport. B. The history of air taxis. C. The popularity of air taxis. Passage 5 （25-26八上·广西桂林第一中学·期中）Is the Internet good or bad? It’s always a hot topic in our daily life. Different people may have different answers. Since the Internet came into being, it has brought us pleasure and tears. Today, let’s take a look at some things that are disappearing as the Internet grows up. When modern people need to record some important things quickly, they don’t find a pen and a piece of paper to write, but to open their mobile phone or computer to record. As a result, it’s common for many people to “pick up the pen but forget words”. Perhaps, in a few years, will pen and paper disappear? As people more and more lose themselves in the online world, the real-looking photos disappear and they can only watch the beautiful pictures on the Internet. If one day you send a real photo in your circle of friends, others will even think if it is a photo to make fun of. Now everyone can get digital (数字的) maps in a few seconds by using computers or mobile phones. They are easy and fast for users. Do you remember the last time to look at a paper map?

There are many reasons for that, including too much use of pesticides (杀虫剂),loss of plants and human activities that damage (破坏) their living places.

Almost 80% of people feel shy at some point in their lives. These days, shyness is becoming more and more common. Now, scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy. ②Is it possible to be born shy? Many scientists say yes. They say 15% to 20% of babies act shyly and quietly. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists think that some shyness is genetic (遗传的). ③Family size might lead people to be shy as well. Scientists found that most of the children with elder brothers and sisters became shy. Because their elder brothers and sisters often bullied (欺侮) them. At the same time, children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. ④You may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientists studied shyness in different countries, they found surprising differences. In Japan, most people said they were shy. But in Israel, only one of three people said so.
