I thought it would be a great way to add a personal touch to my room. First, I gathered all the materials I needed, including some wooden sticks, glue, scissors, and colorful crayons. I started by cutting the wooden sticks into the right lengths to form the frame. However, it wasn’t as easy as I thought. The sticks kept splitting when I cut them. I was a bit impatient, but I didn’t give up. I adjusted (调整) the way I held the scissors and tried again. Finally, I got all the pieces cut. Next, I glued the sticks together to form the frame. While waiting for the glue to dry, I used the crayons to draw some cute patterns on the frame. When I picked up the frame, the corners came apart because the glue wasn’t strong enough. I had to re-glue them and hold them tightly for a while. After several attempts (尝试), my DIY photo frame was finally done. I put a beautiful photo of my family inside. Looking at the finished frame, I felt a great sense of success. This hands-on experience taught me that making something with my own hands can be full of challenges, but the joy of creating is truly worth it. 1. What problem did the writer meet when cutting the wooden sticks for the photo frame? ____________________________________________________________________ 2. Why did the writer re-glue the corners? ____________________________________________________________________ 3. How did the writer feel after finishing the DIY photo frame? ____________________________________________________________________ （四） （25-26八上·江苏徐州·期中）Here are two stories about Mao Sui (毛遂) and Shang Yang.

It makes us wonder since scientists can send a man to the moon, why they can’t find a cure for common colds. The answer is easy — there are many different cold viruses. You never know which one you will get, so there isn’t a cure for each one. When a virus gets into your body, your body works hard to fight against it. Blood rushes to your nose and causes a block in it, so you feel terrible because you can’t breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells (细胞). You may feel very uncomfortable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold. Different people do different things to deal with colds. Some people might have chicken soup to help them get over the cold and some take medicine to stop different symptoms (症状) of colds. There is one interesting thing to note — some scientists say taking medicine when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn’t have a way to fight it and kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this: It takes about one week to get over a cold if you don’t take medicine, but it takes only about seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine. 1. When is it easy for many people to catch a cold? ____________________________________________________________________ 2. How many examples does the writer give to prove (证明) your body works hard to fight against viruses? ____________________________________________________________________ 3. Why do people have a runny nose when having a cold? ____________________________________________________________________ 4. How long does it usually take to get over a cold? ____________________________________________________________________ 5. What do you often do to deal with colds? ____________________________________________________________________ （六） （25-26八上·江苏盐城鹿鸣路初级中学·期中）Jiangsu City Football League: A Big Hit!

It started about 300 years ago. And it is one of the greatest treasures in traditional Chinese culture. The changing faces show different feelings of actors in a special way. People think face changing has something to do with fighting against dangerous animals. In old times, when people met with dangerous animals, they painted colourful pictures on their faces to scare the animals away. Later, people used this in the shows of Sichuan Opera. And as time went by, it turned into a great form of art. Face changing is one of the most mysterious (神秘的) arts, and only the masters really know how it works. Many people are interested in the secret of face changing. Generally, there are three face changing skills: Mopping (抹脸). The performer mops out the colourful greasepaints (油彩) which are hidden in a certain part of his face to change his facial appearance when necessary. Blowing (吹脸). The performer blows powder (粉) hidden in his hands or a small box on the stage so that it blows back onto his face following his move. Pulling (扯脸). The performer can pull down a mask which has been hidden on the top of his head, changing his face into colours like red, green, blue or black to show happiness, hate, anger or sadness. This skill is so difficult that the performer must move quickly and smoothly to achieve the amazing effect. Face changing is an ever-changing art, and it keeps developing with modern science. By the early 1900s, artists could change up to 3 masks each performance. By the 1990s, artists could change up to 4 masks. And by 2000, the number rose to 8. Nowadays, using silk masks and modern science, artists can change 18 to 20 different masks. 1. When did Bian Lian start? ____________________________________________________________________ 2. Why did people paint their faces in old times? ____________________________________________________________________ 3.

In order to do so, you need to make the person whom you want to make friends with trust you. Of course, it is easier said than done. Here is some of my advice about making friends. First, be careful when you want to make friends with someone. He or she may not be as kind as you think. He or she may lie and may cause you trouble. Once I told a secret of mine to one of my friends. I told him not to tell the secret to anybody else. But that was a lie! I was very sad when I found out that he had told the secret to many people. It was so terrible. Second, it is not easy to keep a friendship. You should think about problems from the side of your friends, show kindness and care about your friends. A friendship won’t last long if you don’t care for your friends even blame (责怪) them whenever there is conflict (争执).

She is a 53-year-old Su embroidery (苏绣) artist. Zou is from Suzhou, the hometown of Su embroidery. She learned the art from her mother and grandmother. At 6, she began to help her mother make embroideries. Su embroidery is not easy to make. It’s famous for its amazing details. A single silk thread can be split (分开) into 16 or more thin strands (股). Zou uses these strands to make a cat’s fur or a bird’s feather. It takes much time even a small piece needs months to finish. But Zou loves her work. “I can work for days without sleep to make a fine piece,” she said. Su embroiderers can make works look like oil paintings or photos. They can also stitch (绣) on both sides of silk. The pattern is clear on both the front and back. Silk is delicate. So embroiderers wash hands often and use hand cream. This keeps their hands clean and soft, and won’t damage the artwork. Today, Su embroidery is loved by people around the world. Many visitors buy it as a gift after visiting Suzhou. It has become a beautiful “business card” for Chinese traditional culture, showing the charm of Chinese art to the world. 1.

However, not all of these desks and chairs are well designed—some are the wrong size or shape, and their poor design may even cause discomfort or harm to students. To solve this, a new national rule was rolled out on Sept 2. It explains clearly how to make and use foldable desks and chairs correctly. In primary schools, desks should be between 45.5 and 73 centimeters tall. In middle schools, they should be between 56.5 and 79 cm tall. Chairs should be at least 36 cm wide to help students sit well. For naps, the chairs can be turned into a bed. A bed should be at least 105 cm long, and the backrest (靠背) should lean back more than 135 degrees. The desks and chairs must also be strong. For example, a chair can be folded up to 10,000 times. They should also be easy to clean. If ink gets on them, students should be able to clean it with an eraser. The new rule will take effect on Feb 1 next year. Before that, experts said that schools still need to think about a few things. For example, do the new desks fit in different classrooms? And are they good for classes with many students? 1. What is the new national rule about? ____________________________________________________________________ 2. What are two requirements (要求) for the desks and chairs besides (除了) size and shape? ____________________________________________________________________ 3. Do you want to take a nap with such desks and chairs? Why or why not? ____________________________________________________________________ （十） （25-26八上·江苏连云港新海实验中学·期中）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题，每个题目的答案不超过5个单词。 A new bridge—the biggest of its kind ever—started to be used on September 28 in China. The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge is in Guizhou Province, a mountainous area in China. It is now the tallest bridge in the world, standing 625 metres high above the Beipan River. This great engineering work also has the longest main part among bridges built in rough mountain areas. The whole bridge is 2,890 metres long, and its main part stretches 1,420 metres.

Many people would say Confucius, born on September 28. Though he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect him for his work in education. Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, now part of Shandong Province, during the Spring and Autumn Period. His childhood was hard. His father died when he was 3, and his mother raised him alone. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but he never gave up studying. He asked many famous teachers for advice and learned music, history, poetry and sports. Later, he became a teacher and started China’s first public school. Back then, only children from rich and powerful families could go to school. But Confucius thought anyone who wanted to learn should have the right. He taught about 3,000 students in his life. Today, people still follow his thoughts. He said everyone has good points to learn from. He also taught us: “All study without thinking is a waste and all thinking without study makes you lazy.” Confucius was not only a great teacher, but also a wise thinker. He taught people to be strict with themselves and kind to others. His wisdom (智慧) still guides us on the right path today. 1.

This activity usually lasts 30 minutes every morning and afternoon. During the 30 minutes, students can walk out of the classrooms to relax, exercise and chat with friends. In Shaanxi Province, many schools organize fun games like rope jumping, relay races and group dances during the Extended Recess Activity. Teachers and students often play together happily. For example, a middle school in Baoji enjoys traditional Chinese exercises like Tai Chi or modern sports like basketball. The school also holds competitions, such as “the most creative class activity” to encourage teamwork. Studies show that these activities not only improve students’ physical health but also reduce their stress. A student named Li Ming shared, “Before the Extended Recess Activity, I felt tired after classes. Now, I feel refreshed and focus better on lessons.” A healthy body and mind are basic to learning. And the Extended Recess Activity helps students build lifelong habits of keeping active and working together. 1.

At the end of our conversation, I asked him, “As a writer, you must enjoy writing, right?” “Not always,” he said. He thought for a moment and added, “I enjoy writing when it gives me a sense of pride.” “You know,” Alex went on, “some articles are harder to write than others. Sometimes, I’m not sure if the readers will like my article. I try to write as well as I can. When I finally look at my work, I feel good about myself.” Alex’s answer made me think of a trip ten years ago. My friends and I were halfway up Mount Hua after a short bus ride. It was a rainy day, and the mountain is famous for its steepness. As we looked up at its peaks (山顶), some of us thought of giving up. “You’ll feel sorry about your decision,” our guide said when he encouraged us to keep going. Soon, we arrived at “Yaozi Fanshen”. It’s the most famous and challenging attraction on East Peak. We climbed up the almost vertical (垂直的) rock face (岩壁) by pulling at the iron chains (铁链). We were very tired. But we felt proud. We finally climbed three peaks of Mount Hua that day. In some places, we even took the steeper (更陡峭的) way. We found that the more difficult the climb was, the prouder we felt. Some mountains now provide visitors with an easier way up—a ride on an escalator (自动扶梯). But we didn’t take that, because we wanted more challenges for ourselves. Just as it is in writing, for some things in our lives, the harder way brings better rewards (回报). 每题答案不超过4个单词 1. What is Alex? ____________________________________________________________________ 2.

Claude Brouir, a 63-year-old man from Belgium, arrived after riding more than 12,000 kilometers from Brussels on a solar tricycle (太阳能三轮车). People in Shanghai welcomed him warmly. Brouir began his trip on April 19. For over 120 days, he rode across mountains, rivers and wide fields in Europe and Asia. His journey was not only for fun, and it was also a dream he had kept for a long time—to build a closer connection (联系) with China. The idea started last November, when Brouir came to Shanghai to visit his eldest son, who now lives in the city. Brouir joined a cycling event and was touched by the kindness of local riders. “That trip gave me the idea—why not ride all the way from Brussels to Shanghai?” he said. To follow his idea of green travel, Brouir used a special solar tricycle. It had two motors (发动机) and four solar panels (面板). The tricycle also pulled a trailer (拖车) carrying his tent and daily things. With the help of the panels, he could climb hills without fuel. Along the way, he saw many beautiful places and often received help from strangers. This year marks the 50th anniversary of China-EU relations (中欧建交50周年), which makes his arrival even more meaningful. Brouir said the busy streets and friendly people of Shanghai made him feel at home. “Coming here is not the end,” he smiled, “It is a new beginning.” At the ceremony, officials praised his spirit.

Most of you meet your teachers at the opening ceremony (仪式). But long ago in China, students had a very special way to meet their teachers. It was called the Bai Shi Ceremony. This event marked the start of their learning journey. At the ceremony, students showed deep respect to their teacher. They didn’t shake hands or say hello. Instead, they would kneel and bow three times. They also gave their teacher a cup of tea, a letter called Bai Shi Tie and sometimes a red envelope. All these acts were ways of saying, “I trust you, teacher. I’m ready to learn from you.” In return, the teacher made a promise. He would treat the student as a family member. The teacher didn’t just teach skills. He helped the student become an honest person and learn how to live a wise life. The ceremony was quiet and serious. People lit incense (香) and gave thanks to ancestors. After that, the student officially became a disciple (弟子) of the teacher. It was a big moment and a great honor. Today, we don’t hold this kind of ceremony any more. But many students still find ways to thank their teachers. A kind word, a smile, or a thank-you note can all be great ways to show their respect.

I thought it would be a great way to add a personal touch to my room. First, I gathered all the materials I needed, including some wooden sticks, glue, scissors, and colorful crayons. I started by cutting the wooden sticks into the right lengths to form the frame. However, it wasn’t as easy as I thought. The sticks kept splitting when I cut them. I was a bit impatient, but I didn’t give up. I adjusted (调整) the way I held the scissors and tried again. Finally, I got all the pieces cut. Next, I glued the sticks together to form the frame. While waiting for the glue to dry, I used the crayons to draw some cute patterns on the frame. When I picked up the frame, the corners came apart because the glue wasn’t strong enough. I had to re-glue them and hold them tightly for a while. After several attempts (尝试), my DIY photo frame was finally done. I put a beautiful photo of my family inside. Looking at the finished frame, I felt a great sense of success. This hands-on experience taught me that making something with my own hands can be full of challenges, but the joy of creating is truly worth it. 1.

It makes us wonder since scientists can send a man to the moon, why they can’t find a cure for common colds. The answer is easy — there are many different cold viruses. You never know which one you will get, so there isn’t a cure for each one. When a virus gets into your body, your body works hard to fight against it. Blood rushes to your nose and causes a block in it, so you feel terrible because you can’t breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells (细胞). You may feel very uncomfortable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold. Different people do different things to deal with colds. Some people might have chicken soup to help them get over the cold and some take medicine to stop different symptoms (症状) of colds. There is one interesting thing to note — some scientists say taking medicine when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn’t have a way to fight it and kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this: It takes about one week to get over a cold if you don’t take medicine, but it takes only about seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine. 1. When is it easy for many people to catch a cold? 2. How many examples does the writer give to prove (证明) your body works hard to fight against viruses? 3. Why do people have a runny nose when having a cold? 4. How long does it usually take to get over a cold? 5. What do you often do to deal with colds? 【答案】1. In spring or fall. 2. Three/3. 3. To stop virus entering cells. 4. About one week. 5. Drink lots of hot water. 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了人们容易感冒的季节、身体对抗感冒病毒的方式、人们应对感冒的不同做法以及服药对抗感冒的相关趣事。 (1)题解析： 根据“It is easy for many people to catch a cold in spring or fall.”可知，很多人在春天或秋天容易感冒，故填In spring or fall.

It started about 300 years ago. And it is one of the greatest treasures in traditional Chinese culture. The changing faces show different feelings of actors in a special way. People think face changing has something to do with fighting against dangerous animals. In old times, when people met with dangerous animals, they painted colourful pictures on their faces to scare the animals away. Later, people used this in the shows of Sichuan Opera. And as time went by, it turned into a great form of art. Face changing is one of the most mysterious (神秘的) arts, and only the masters really know how it works. Many people are interested in the secret of face changing. Generally, there are three face changing skills: Mopping (抹脸). The performer mops out the colourful greasepaints (油彩) which are hidden in a certain part of his face to change his facial appearance when necessary. Blowing (吹脸). The performer blows powder (粉) hidden in his hands or a small box on the stage so that it blows back onto his face following his move. Pulling (扯脸). The performer can pull down a mask which has been hidden on the top of his head, changing his face into colours like red, green, blue or black to show happiness, hate, anger or sadness. This skill is so difficult that the performer must move quickly and smoothly to achieve the amazing effect. Face changing is an ever-changing art, and it keeps developing with modern science. By the early 1900s, artists could change up to 3 masks each performance. By the 1990s, artists could change up to 4 masks. And by 2000, the number rose to 8. Nowadays, using silk masks and modern science, artists can change 18 to 20 different masks. 1. When did Bian Lian start? 2. Why did people paint their faces in old times? 3.

To make it more comfortable, many middle and high schools use foldable (可折叠的) desks and chairs. However, not all of these desks and chairs are well designed—some are the wrong size or shape, and their poor design may even cause discomfort or harm to students. To solve this, a new national rule was rolled out on Sept 2. It explains clearly how to make and use foldable desks and chairs correctly. In primary schools, desks should be between 45.5 and 73 centimeters tall. In middle schools, they should be between 56.5 and 79 cm tall. Chairs should be at least 36 cm wide to help students sit well. For naps, the chairs can be turned into a bed. A bed should be at least 105 cm long, and the backrest (靠背) should lean back more than 135 degrees. The desks and chairs must also be strong. For example, a chair can be folded up to 10,000 times. They should also be easy to clean. If ink gets on them, students should be able to clean it with an eraser. The new rule will take effect on Feb 1 next year.

At the end of our conversation, I asked him, “As a writer, you must enjoy writing, right?” “Not always,” he said. He thought for a moment and added, “I enjoy writing when it gives me a sense of pride.” “You know,” Alex went on, “some articles are harder to write than others. Sometimes, I’m not sure if the readers will like my article. I try to write as well as I can. When I finally look at my work, I feel good about myself.” Alex’s answer made me think of a trip ten years ago. My friends and I were halfway up Mount Hua after a short bus ride. It was a rainy day, and the mountain is famous for its steepness. As we looked up at its peaks (山顶), some of us thought of giving up. “You’ll feel sorry about your decision,” our guide said when he encouraged us to keep going. Soon, we arrived at “Yaozi Fanshen”. It’s the most famous and challenging attraction on East Peak. We climbed up the almost vertical (垂直的) rock face (岩壁) by pulling at the iron chains (铁链). We were very tired. But we felt proud. We finally climbed three peaks of Mount Hua that day. In some places, we even took the steeper (更陡峭的) way. We found that the more difficult the climb was, the prouder we felt. Some mountains now provide visitors with an easier way up—a ride on an escalator (自动扶梯). But we didn’t take that, because we wanted more challenges for ourselves. Just as it is in writing, for some things in our lives, the harder way brings better rewards (回报). 每题答案不超过4个单词 1. What is Alex? 2.

This event marked the start of their learning journey. At the ceremony, students showed deep respect to their teacher. They didn’t shake hands or say hello. Instead, they would kneel and bow three times. They also gave their teacher a cup of tea, a letter called Bai Shi Tie and sometimes a red envelope. All these acts were ways of saying, “I trust you, teacher. I’m ready to learn from you.” In return, the teacher made a promise. He would treat the student as a family member. The teacher didn’t just teach skills. He helped the student become an honest person and learn how to live a wise life. The ceremony was quiet and serious. People lit incense (香) and gave thanks to ancestors. After that, the student officially became a disciple (弟子) of the teacher. It was a big moment and a great honor.
