In many homes across China, people used to spend a lot of time doing housework. However, the use of automation (自动化) in homes is changing this. Take my family for example. Not long ago we bought a robotic vacuum cleaner (机器人吸尘器). My mother uses it to do some cleaning, and now she has more time for her hobbies. This adjustment has not only made her life easier but also brought much joy to our home. Automation in homes is not just about making our life easier. It’s also about creating a balance in our life. My younger sister used to have trouble organizing her time because of heavy schoolwork, and she often felt stressed. But now she has a smart study planner that helps her keep everything in order. As a result, she is less stressed and does better in school. ________ Some people think that automation in homes could make us lazy as we depend on (依靠) it too much. Yes, I believe it’s about finding a balance. For example, while our robotic vacuum cleaner does the sweeping and cleaning, we still sometimes need to tidy up ourselves. By making good use of automation and still doing our own work, we can live a better and happier life. 1.How does the writer start the passage? A. By making a joke. B. By asking a question. C. By showing some ideas. D. By using someone’s words. 2.What does the underlined word “adjustment” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Community. B. Reason. C. Example. D. Change. 3.What problem did the writer’s younger sister use to have? A. She had difficulty planning her time because of schoolwork. B. She had trouble making friends in school. C.

C. Two heads are better than one. D. Actions speak louder than words. 5.Why did the writer write the passage? A. To advise students to help with housework. B. To introduce some smart home machines. C. To show his opinions about home automation. D. To give advice on how to balance work and life. 主题语境02 人与自我-饮食 （25-26八上·广东东莞东莞四校协作·期中）We eat to feel full. In China, certain foods have special meanings. Let’s see three foods with different meanings. In the north of China, people eat dumplings during big meals. It is a tradition (传统). The more dumplings people eat during Chinese New Year, the more money they will have next year. Sometimes people put a coin (硬币) into a dumpling. If a person gets the dumpling with a coin, he or she will have good luck in the coming year. Tangyuan is also called yuanxiao. It looks like a rice ball. It’s the main festival food for the Lantern Festival (元宵节). But in Guangdong, people love to eat tangyuan during the Winter Solstice (冬至). Some people in Guangdong also have tangyuan on the first day of the Spring Festival. Tangyuan is the symbol of reunion (团聚). This is the reason why it is popular during traditional festivals. In China, people call hot pot huo guo. And there are different tastes in different cities. In Sichuan, hot pot is hot. In Guangdong, hot pot is famous for its fresh food, such as fresh fish and vegetables. Eating hot pot makes people feel warm in the cold winter. And the red colour means that people will be happy in the following year. 1.Which kind of food means good luck? A. The hot pot. B. The long noodles. C. The sweet tangyuan. D. The dumpling with a coin. 2.When do people in Guangdong love to eat tangyuan? A. On the Lantern Festival. B. On the Winter Solstice. C. On the Summer Solstice. D.

A storybook. 主题语境03 人与自然-动物与植物 Passage 1 （25-26八上·广东东莞·期中）From small ants to big whales, almost all animals need to sleep. And different animals have different ways to sleep. Some seabirds spend most of their lives over the ocean. And they can sleep while they are flying. They can fly for many hours without moving their wings. A flamingo (火烈鸟) can sleep while standing on one leg. The standing leg always stays straight. The other leg stays close to its body. Its head rests on its back. Horses often sleep while standing up. If a horse lies down, it needs a long time to get up. A horse can run from danger more quickly if it’s standing. And horses only need about three hours of sleep a day! Giraffes win the prize (奖) for sleeping the least. They sleep about 30 minutes a day, and 5 minutes at a time. They lie down when they sleep. They rest their heads on their bodies or on the ground. What a strange way of sleeping! A dolphin sleeps with just half of its brain at a time. The other half must stay awake (醒着的) to take in air and to watch for danger. Dolphin mothers and babies can go without sleep for two months to stay safe. 1.Which animal can move while sleeping? A. The flamingo. B. The horse. C. The giraffe. D. The seabird. 2.How many kinds of animals sleep while standing up? A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 4. 3.How do giraffes sleep? A. By standing on one leg. B. By putting their heads on the ground. C.

Passage 2 （25-26八上·广东中山市中山纪念中学·期中）Our world is full of amazing life. Some animals and plants are the “best” in their own ways. Let’s meet some of these fantastic world record holders. The Fastest Land Animal: The Cheetah The cheetah is the fastest runner on land. It can run as fast as 112 kilometers per hour! However, it can only keep this top speed for a short time, usually less than a minute. Cheetahs live in Africa and parts of the Middle East. Their bodies are perfect for speed: they have light bones and long legs. They use their amazing speed to catch other animals for food. The Longest Snake: Reticulated Python (网纹蟒) The Reticulated Python is the longest snake in the world. It lives in Southeast Asia. It can grow to over 6 meters long. The longest one ever found was almost 10 meters! It is not poisonous (有毒的). Instead, it uses its strong body to catch its food and hold it tight. It is a wonderful hunter in the rainforest. The Tallest Trees: Redwoods Redwood trees in California, USA, are the tallest trees on Earth. The tallest one, named Hyperion, is about 115.85 meters tall. That’s taller than a 30-story building! These giant trees can live for over 2,000 years. They grow so tall because the weather there is cool and wet, which is perfect for them. The Largest Flower: Rafflesia (大王花) The Rafflesia, found in the rainforests of Southeast Asia, holds the record for the world’s largest flower. It can be over 100 cm in diameter (直径). However, this famous flower has a very bad smell. It uses this smell to attract flies for pollination. Another strange thing is that it has no roots, stems, or leaves. 1.How does the Cheetah’s body help it run fast? A. It has a lot of fat. B. It has sharp teeth. C. It has a very strong smell. D. It has light bones and long legs. 2.From the passage, what can we know about the Reticulated Python? A. It is very strong for hunting. B. It uses poison to catch its food. C. It is the heaviest snake in the world. D. It is a friendly animal to humans. 3.How tall is the tallest redwood tree, Hyperion? A. About 30 meters. B. About 100 meters. C. About 115.85 meters. D. Over 2000 meters. 4.Why does the Rafflesia flower have a bad smell? A. To protect itself from animals that want to eat it. B. To attract the flies it needs to make new flowers. C. To help it grow without roots, stems, or leaves. D. To show people that it is the largest flower. 5.What is the main idea of the passage? A. To introduce some living things that hold world records. B. To compare plants and animals in the world. C. To explain why we need to protect rainforests. D. To describe the different food animals eat. Passage 3 （25-26八上·广东肇庆跨区联考·期中） We know the mosquito very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They are almost all over the world, and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them. No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide that she likes you. She? Yes, she. It’s true that the male mosquito doesn’t bite and only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay (产) eggs. She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn’t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosquito bites you, just remember she chooses you. You’re different from the others! If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch (痒) on your body because she put something from her mouth together with your blood. By the time the itch begins, she has flown away. And then what happens? Well, after the delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She just wants to find a place to have a good rest. There, on a leaf or a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs. 1.The underlined word “mosquito” means ________ in Chinese.

IT 主题语境04 人与自然-环境 （25-26八上·湛江第一中学·第二次综合素养评价）The show is not a musical—it is a real science story! This story happens in the ocean. Chinese scientists made a new kind of robot. It looks like a small fish and can swim in the water. But this fish is not a real fish—it is a machine! People can use it to help clean the oceans by collecting tiny pieces of plastic (塑料) called microplastics. These microplastics are smaller than 5mm. They come from plastic bags, bottles and clothes. They can get to even the deepest parts of the sea. Fish and other sea animals often eat them by mistake. This is very harmful to sea animals’ health and even makes them die. Now, the robotic fish can swim around and collect the microplastics. It moves like a real fish, so________. The robot is about 1.5cm long and it is not heavy at all. Scientists say one fish can collect about 5 grams of plastic a day. If we use many of them, they can help make the ocean cleaner. This small robotic fish is not just a tool for cleaning—it’s a symbol of how science can help solve big environmental (环境) problems. In the future, these little robots may also help us learn more about life under the sea. Maybe one day, every school can have one in its science class! 1.What can people use robotic fish to do? A. To play with real fish. B. To swim faster than other fish. C. To help clean the ocean. D. To teach students how to swim. 2.What does the underlined word “harmful” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Bad. B.

In a space study on zebrafish, the Chinese scientists set a new record. They successfully got four zebrafish to live and grow in a closed water world. These zebrafish traveled to space on the Shenzhou-18 spaceship on April 25, 2024. They lived in a special fish tank with some water plants. Unexpectedly, the fish grew up and had babies just 43 days later. In their special closed water world, 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 close-loop ecosystem is important for future study in space. It means that plants and animals can live in space more simply and easily. The scientists also found that the zebrafish acted differently than on Earth. For example, they often swam on their back. The low gravity (重力) in space is a big reason. On 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. Humans and zebrafish share 70% of the same genes (基因). So the new finding will help scientists better understand human health. 1.What do we know about the space study? A. Scientists from different countries did it together. B. It took place in a closed water world. C. The zebrafish gave birth to 43 babies at last. D. It took zebrafish less than one month to grow up. 2.What does the underlined word “Unexpectedly” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Easily B. Amazingly C. Probably D. Sadly 3.Which picture should be in the circle to show the ecosystem in the fish tank? A. B. C. D. 4.What was the result of the low gravity in space? A. The zebrafish swam on their back. B. Animals could easily find way. C. The zebrafish swam faster. D. Human bodies got stronger. 5.What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The plan of the space study. B. The difficulty of the space study. C. The meaning of the space study. D. The finding of the space study. 主题语境02 人与自我-饮食 Passage 1 （25-26八上·广东东莞东城实验中学·期中）In China, more and more people are enjoying pre-made food. This kind of food is easy to cook and often uses fresh ingredients (原料). Take the delicious soup “yan du xian” for example, it uses fresh bamboo shoots. It’s famous in southern China and now getting popular in the north too. The bamboo shoots are picked and quickly sent to factories. There, they are turned into soup. Speed is the key to keeping the bamboo shoots fresh. Later, the soup is sold in supermarkets. In recent years, the pre-made food industry (行业) in China has grown a lot. There are now more than 70,000 companies producing pre-made food. As people are looking for healthier and more convenient food, pre-made food becomes a good choice. There are different types of pre-made food. Some are ready-to-cook, which means you just need to add a few ingredients. Others are ready-to-eat, which means you can eat them right away. Many companies are trying to make their pre-made food healthier by using less oil and salt. One company has produced a popular roasted fish dish that is easy to heat at home and tastes almost like restaurant food. Another company makes sure the healthiness of its products by carefully measuring (测量) every ingredient. The pre-made food industry is growing quickly in China and is becoming an important part of people’s lives. 1.Pre-made food is ________.

You just ate one of nature’s hottest foods—the chili pepper (辣椒)！ Chili peppers, also called chilies, are found in dishes around the world. They are in dishes like Indian curries (咖喱), Thai tom yum soup (冬阴功), and Mexican enchiladas (卷饼). Chilies are fiery because they contain something called capsaicin (辣椒素). Capsaicin is very good for your health. It helps you breathe better, and it may even help keep you fit. Capsaicin makes you feel less hungry. It also makes your body burn more fat. Eating chilies can be uncomfortable, but some people love to eat them. Anandita Dutta Tamuly, a woman from India, became famous for eating chilies. She ate 51 hot peppers in just two minutes! The peppers were Naga Jolokia (ghost peppers). They grow in India and are one of the hottest chilies in the world. “I found eating chilies was a great way to stay healthy,” said Tamuly.

Passage 3 （25-26八上·广东珠海文园中学(集团)·期中）Trees are one of the oldest plants of our Earth. They keep our air clean, make less pollution, make water cleaner and provide food and building materials. Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. At one to three years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns (刺) to stop animals from going near. At the age of four years old, trees begin to grow very quickly and become strong enough to face many difficulties later in life. At the age of fifteen, trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit. When the tree is twenty to twenty-five years old, it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. It gives us shade and provides a great place for a tree house, or a place for us to read a book, listen to music and so on. If we all learn how to protect the adult tree, it will live healthily for many years. Little by little, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, older trees are still very important in nature. For example, when a baobab tree in Africa gets old, its trunk becomes hollow. Such an old tree can still be a home to small animals and even hold many people. The local people often build their houses inside these trunks. It is a helpful tree, and some people could hardly live without it. In many ways, the life of a tree is pretty similar to our own life. When looking at the life of a tree, we should enjoy every minute of its life and take care of the tree! 1.From the passage, we know trees learn to protect themselves at ________ years old. A. one to three B. four C. fifteen D. twenty to twenty-five 2.About the growth of the tree, which of the following is the right order? a. Grow very quickly. b. Become a real adult. c. Learn how to protect itself. d. Grow older and die. e. Produce flowers and fruit. A. b-a-c-d-e B. c-e-a-b-d C. c-a-e-b-d D. a-c-e-b-d 3.What does the underlined word “hollow” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. 褶皱的 B. 空心的 C. 光滑的 D. 狭窄的 4.What can we know from this passage? A. We can find flowers and fruit on 4-year-old trees. B. Most of the older trees can provide great places for people to live. C. An adult tree can live long and well if we all learn how to protect it. D. The life of the tree is exactly the same as the life of people. 5.What’s the structure (结构) of the article? (P: Paragraph) A. B. C. D. Passage 4 （25-26八上·广东东莞东莞四校协作·期中）There are many delicious fruits in autumn. Many people like fruits because they are sweet. But do you know why fruits are sweet? The answer is very easy. Fruits are sweet because trees are smart. For some trees, the key to survival (生存) is having sweet fruits. Some animals eat the fruits. Their seeds (种子) can move to new places with the help of these animals. For example, bears like apples’ sweet taste. They eat apples and carry the seeds in their stomachs (胃). And the bears don’t stay in the same place all the time. They walk around instead. They stop in a new place. The seeds come out of the bears’ bodies and fall onto the ground in the new place. Some time later, the seeds might grow into new trees. Moving the seeds to a different place is really important because it is a new tree’s start. In this way, it doesn’t have to compete (竞争) with its parent tree for water or sun. However, not all fruits are sweet. Some fruits are sour, such as lemons. Maybe you don’t like lemons, but there are some insects (昆虫) and animals that enjoy lemons. They help lemon trees spread seeds. How clever the trees are! They can start the new lives without too much trouble. 1.Why do many people like fruits according to Paragraph 1? A. Because they are beautiful. B. Because they are cheap. C. Because they are sweet.

It shows how plants secretly compete (竞争), help each other, and even talk in amazing ways. Plants compete against each other to live. In the rainforests, different kinds of plants compete for sunlight. The forest floor is described as a battlefield—only 2% of the sunlight gets there. Some plants spread their big leaves to reach light. But others may catch up with them. Finally, other fast⁃growing plants overtake them to receive more sunshine. Interestingly, plants even fight underground. Their roots compete for water and nutrients (营养素) in the soil, just like athletes racing for a prize. Plants also help each other and even communicate. In deserts, if a tree finds water， it will share it with others. Studies also show that plants use fungus (真菌) in the soil as a way to talk to each other. It’s kind of like how Wi⁃Fi works. For example, when insects attack corn plants, they send chemical “messages” through the air to warn neighbours. The warned plants then produce bitter (苦的) juices to drive the insects away. If a tomato plant gets a leaf disease, it can tell the plants nearby. The video not only teaches us about the plant world but also pushes us to understand that plants are important. “Plants are the needs of all life, including ourselves. We depend on them for every mouth of food that we eat and every lungful of air that we breathe,” Mr Lee, the director of the video said. “It’s time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants.” 1.What can we know about plants in the video from Bilibili? ①how they help each other ②their communication ③their self⁃protection ④their competition ⑤their secret of growing A. ①②⑤ B. ②④⑤ C. ①②④ D. ①④⑤ 2.What does the underlined word “overtake” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Take away. B. Fall behind. C. Look after. D. Get ahead of. 3.How does the writer develop Paragraph 3? A. By giving examples. B. By comparing facts. C. By raising questions. D. By listing numbers. 4.Mr Lee agrees that __________. A. plants are difficult to study B. wild plants need caring about C. we shouldn’t always depend on plants D. we look after houseplants too much 5.Which is the best title of the text? A. The Living Habits of Plants B. Making Better Videos on Plants C. An Amazing Plant World D. How Plants Talk with Each Other 主题语境04 人与自然-环境 （25-26八上·广东实验中学·期中）The Amazon Rainforest is the world’s biggest rainforest (雨林). It is in South America. It is so wide that it covers a little more than half the size of China! The Amazon River runs through the rainforest. It’s the world’s second-longest river. The Amazon Rainforest covers much of Brazil. The green colour on the national flag of Brazil stands for the rainforest. However, climate change and human activities make it “sick”. Usually, the rainforest can fix itself. But now, it feels too “tired” to get better. According to a new study, many trees there may die, and the Amazon Rainforest may turn into a hot, dry grassland in a few years. Why is the Amazon “sick”? The Amazon Rainforest is one of the world’s wettest places. But since 2005, three droughts have hit the rainforest. They were caused by climate change. The trees don’t have enough water to grow. What’s worse, as they become dry, they can easily catch fire. Besides, people cut down rainforest trees for wood. They burn the forest to make farmland. All these kinds of activities have made about 17% of the rainforest disappear. ▲ The Amazon Rainforest is like the lungs (肺) of our planet. The rich plants there take CO2 out of the air and make oxygen (氧气). They make more than 20% of the planet’s oxygen. If the Amazon Rainforest “dies”, there will be more CO2, and our earth will become even hotter. The Amazon Rainforest is also home to over 3 million animals and plants. Many of them can’t live anywhere else. They would very likely just disappear. 1.According to the passage, what is NOT the reason that makes the Amazon Rainforest “sick”? A. People burn the forest to make farmland. B. Climate change. C. People cut down trees. D. Too many animals and plants live there. 2.What will happen if the Amazon Rainforest “dies”? A. People will lose their lungs. B. Many animals and plants will disappear. C. We will feel colder. D. There will be more oxygen. 3.What does the underlined word “droughts” mean? A. Too little rain. B. Too little snow. C. Too much rain. D. Too much fire. 4.Choose the best sentence to fill in the ▲ in the passage. A. Where is the Amazon Rainforest? B. Who lives in the Amazon Rainforest? C. How can we protect the Amazon Rainforest? D. What will happen if we lose the Amazon Rainforest? 5.Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. The Amazon Rainforest is in South America. B. The Amazon Rainforest is the world’s biggest rainforest. C. The Amazon River is the world’s longest river. D. More than 3 million animals and plants live in the Amazon Rainforest. 主题语境01 人与社会-文化 （25-26八上·广东东莞东莞中学初中部·期中）These days, cultural and creative dolls (文创玩偶) are very popular. They carry special meanings and show the culture of the places they come from. In Wuhan, Hubei, there is a lovely cultural and creative doll—a little bird with garlic (蒜) on its head. Its name is “Suan Niao”, sounding like “Suan Liao” in the Wuhan dialect (方言). It means “Don’t worry about it and let it go.” It tells everyone to get along well with each other. On bus No. 603 in Wuhan, there are “Suan Niao” dolls hanging on the glass door of the driver’s room. When passengers quarrel (争吵), the driver will take down the doll and press (按) it. It will make a funny “Suan Liao, Suan Liao” sound. The passengers will smile when they hear it. Henan also has some wonderful cultural and creative dolls. The Cloth Tiger from Huaiyang is one of them. The tiger doll has a big head and a round body. On its face, there is a Chinese word “王”. This makes the tiger look brave.

Earlier this year, the blind box travel became very popular among young people in China. What is a blind box travel? If you don’t like to make plans and you are interested in unknown travels, you may choose to buy a blind box plane ticket at a low price, usually 100 or 200 yuan. Then you will receive some places to choose. They can be busy cities, quiet beaches, or mountain villages. But these places are usually less popular ones. Once you pick a place, send your personal information to the airline (航空公司). Then you can start your journey. Mr Cheng, in his 30s, doesn’t like making plans. He says, “I’d like to try the blind box travel. It’s really difficult to decide which place to go, and the plane tickets are not cheap. If I choose the blind box travel, I can choose from some places which are not so well-known at a low cost.” Unlike Cheng, 22-year-old Sun is not sure of the blind box travel. “I like to plan in advance (提前). Getting everything ready makes me not anxious. I really don’t like the feeling of losing control (控制),” says Mrs Sun. It’s like a surprise — you never know where you’ll end up with a blind box ticket. It could be the place you want to go, or it may not be. Would you like to give it a try? 1.What is the correct order to start a blind box travel? ① choose a place to go ② buy a blind box plane ticket ③ start your journey ④ send your personal information A. ②①④③ B. ①③④② C. ①②③④ D. ②①③④ 2.What will Mr Cheng do if he chooses the blind box travel?

Of course, there’s a lot of science behind movies like The Mars or Harry Potter and also cartoons like Frozen or Mulan. Cartoons use a lot of science and math to make things look as real as possible. For example, snow was used in many parts of the movie Frozen, but making the snow look real was a challenge. The snow needed to act differently in different situations, like if it was melting or blowing in the wind. Mathematicians had to create a computer program to make the snow look more natural. The mathematician Joseph faced this challenge with Frozen. He and his team used math equations(等式) to treat snow like many different pieces instead of one large thing, as movies did in the past. They worked for months to make a computer program do this. Science is important for superhero movies, too. Superheroes should have special powers that can’t be explained. But movie makers still want to make their actions as real as possible. For example, Burks, a chemistry professor, told the Daily Mail that some of the science behind The Avengers could be real. Iron Man’s coat is also possible to be real because it can be made of a light but strong material. In the movie, Tony makes new things by making atoms collide(使原子对撞), much like scientists do in real life. So next time you see a movie, don’t forget to think about the science behind it. 1.According to the article, there is much ________ behind movies. A. Internet B. project C. science D. light 2.The underlined word Mathematicians probably means ________. A. scientist of music B. scientist of math C. scientist of computer D. scientist of physics 3.________ and his team made the snow in Frozen looked real with the knowledge of math. A. Joseph B. Burks C. Iron Man D. Tony 4.Which of the following is TRUE about the movies? A. Science is also important for “superhero movies”. B. Cartoons use a lot of medicines to make things look as real as possible. C. All of the science behind The Avengers wasn’t real. D. Superheroes have special powers that can easily be explained. 5.Which one can be the best title for the article? A. Interesting movies and cartoons B. Real things in movies C. Movies or cartoons, which would be real? D.

It’s a study of 207 children. Scientists have found that housework like making meals and caring for plants had something to do with planning, self-controlling and remembering things. Collected from children aged 5 to 13 in mid-2020, the results showed 86 percent of kids put their dirty clothes in the right place and cleaned up after playing. But only 59 percent made their own beds, just 26 percent sorted clothes after washing and 10 percent helped with cooking. Older children are more likely to do housework than younger ones. Girls do more housework than boys. For example, only 49 percent of boys but 70 percent of girls made their own beds. Around 60 percent of kids, including 50 percent of boys and 61 percent of girls, helped do the dishes. Only 34 percent of kids aged five to seven did this, but 64 percent of those aged 11 to 13 helped. “Children who often cook a family meal may be more likely to be good at other ways of life—like schoolwork or problem-solving,” the lead researcher of the study, Ms. Tepper said. 1.How many kinds of housework are mentioned in Paragraph 1?

The Tallest Trees: Redwoods Redwood trees in California, USA, are the tallest trees on Earth. The tallest one, named Hyperion, is about 115.85 meters tall. That’s taller than a 30-story building! These giant trees can live for over 2,000 years. They grow so tall because the weather there is cool and wet, which is perfect for them. The Largest Flower: Rafflesia (大王花) The Rafflesia, found in the rainforests of Southeast Asia, holds the record for the world’s largest flower. It can be over 100 cm in diameter (直径). However, this famous flower has a very bad smell. It uses this smell to attract flies for pollination. Another strange thing is that it has no roots, stems, or leaves. 1.How does the Cheetah’s body help it run fast? A. It has a lot of fat. B. It has sharp teeth. C. It has a very strong smell. D.

Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They are almost all over the world, and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them. No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide that she likes you. She? Yes, she. It’s true that the male mosquito doesn’t bite and only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay (产) eggs. She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite.

You’re different from the others! If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch (痒) on your body because she put something from her mouth together with your blood. By the time the itch begins, she has flown away. And then what happens? Well, after the delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She just wants to find a place to have a good rest. There, on a leaf or a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs. 1.The underlined word “mosquito” means ________ in Chinese.

C 【解析】【导语】 本文主要介绍了蚊子的生活习性，包括其分布范围、种类数量、雌蚊吸血的原因、吸血过程以及吸血后的行为等。 (1)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据“Mosquitoes fly everywhere”、“It’s true that the male mosquito doesn’t bite and only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay (产) eggs.”以及“After she bites, you will have an itch (痒) on your body”可知，会飞的且只有雌性动物才咬人，咬人之后会觉得痒，由此可猜测划线单词指的是蚊子。故选D。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They are almost all over the world…”可知，因为蚊子到处飞，几乎遍布世界各地，所以我们很了解它们。故选B。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different.”可知，蚊子咬人非常快且安静，以至于人们可能感觉不到任何不同。故选C。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据“She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different.”可知，蚊子咬人时非常快且安静，人们可能感觉不到任何不同，而不是感到难受，所以B选项“当蚊子咬你时，你会感到难受”与原文不符。故选B。 (5)题解析： 推理判断题。文章主要介绍了蚊子的生活习性，包括其分布、种类、吸血行为等，这些内容都属于动物范畴。因此，这篇文章很可能出现在动物专栏中。故选C。 主题语境04 人与自然-环境 （25-26八上·湛江第一中学·第二次综合素养评价）The show is not a musical—it is a real science story! This story happens in the ocean. Chinese scientists made a new kind of robot. It looks like a small fish and can swim in the water. But this fish is not a real fish—it is a machine! People can use it to help clean the oceans by collecting tiny pieces of plastic (塑料) called microplastics. These microplastics are smaller than 5mm. They come from plastic bags, bottles and clothes. They can get to even the deepest parts of the sea. Fish and other sea animals often eat them by mistake. This is very harmful to sea animals’ health and even makes them die. Now, the robotic fish can swim around and collect the microplastics. It moves like a real fish, so________. The robot is about 1.5cm long and it is not heavy at all. Scientists say one fish can collect about 5 grams of plastic a day. If we use many of them, they can help make the ocean cleaner. This small robotic fish is not just a tool for cleaning—it’s a symbol of how science can help solve big environmental (环境) problems. In the future, these little robots may also help us learn more about life under the sea. Maybe one day, every school can have one in its science class! 1.What can people use robotic fish to do? A.

In a space study on zebrafish, the Chinese scientists set a new record. They successfully got four zebrafish to live and grow in a closed water world. These zebrafish traveled to space on the Shenzhou-18 spaceship on April 25, 2024. They lived in a special fish tank with some water plants. Unexpectedly, the fish grew up and had babies just 43 days later. In their special closed water world, 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 close-loop ecosystem is important for future study in space. It means that plants and animals can live in space more simply and easily. The scientists also found that the zebrafish acted differently than on Earth. For example, they often swam on their back. The low gravity (重力) in space is a big reason. On 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. Humans and zebrafish share 70% of the same genes (基因). So the new finding will help scientists better understand human health. 1.What do we know about the space study? A. Scientists from different countries did it together. B. It took place in a closed water world. C. The zebrafish gave birth to 43 babies at last. D. It took zebrafish less than one month to grow up. 2.What does the underlined word “Unexpectedly” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Easily B. Amazingly C. Probably D.

They keep our air clean, make less pollution, make water cleaner and provide food and building materials. Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. At one to three years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns (刺) to stop animals from going near. At the age of four years old, trees begin to grow very quickly and become strong enough to face many difficulties later in life. At the age of fifteen, trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit. When the tree is twenty to twenty-five years old, it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. It gives us shade and provides a great place for a tree house, or a place for us to read a book, listen to music and so on. If we all learn how to protect the adult tree, it will live healthily for many years. Little by little, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, older trees are still very important in nature. For example, when a baobab tree in Africa gets old, its trunk becomes hollow. Such an old tree can still be a home to small animals and even hold many people. The local people often build their houses inside these trunks. It is a helpful tree, and some people could hardly live without it. In many ways, the life of a tree is pretty similar to our own life. When looking at the life of a tree, we should enjoy every minute of its life and take care of the tree! 1.From the passage, we know trees learn to protect themselves at ________ years old. A. one to three B. four C. fifteen D. twenty to twenty-five 2.About the growth of the tree, which of the following is the right order? a. Grow very quickly. b. Become a real adult. c. Learn how to protect itself. d. Grow older and die. e. Produce flowers and fruit. A. b-a-c-d-e B. c-e-a-b-d C. c-a-e-b-d D. a-c-e-b-d 3.What does the underlined word “hollow” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. 褶皱的 B. 空心的 C. 光滑的 D. 狭窄的 4.What can we know from this passage? A. We can find flowers and fruit on 4-year-old trees. B. Most of the older trees can provide great places for people to live. C. An adult tree can live long and well if we all learn how to protect it. D. The life of the tree is exactly the same as the life of people. 5.What’s the structure (结构) of the article?

They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit.”，“When the tree is twenty to twenty-five years old, it becomes a real adult. ”和“Little by little, trees begin to grow older and older and even die.”可知，一到三岁时小树学会保护自己，四岁时树开始快速生长，十五岁时树成为年轻的成年树，开始开花结果，二十到二十五岁时树成为真正的成年树，慢慢地树变老甚至死亡。所以正确顺序是c-a-e-b-d。故选C。 (3)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据“For example, when a baobab tree in Africa gets old, its trunk becomes hollow. Such an old tree can still be a home to small animals and even hold many people.”可知，非洲的猴面包树变老后，树干能为小动物提供家甚至能容纳很多人，说明树干是空的，所以hollow的意思是“空心的”。故选B。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据“If we all learn how to protect the adult tree, it will live healthily for many years.”可知，如果我们学会保护成年树，它就能健康地活很多年。故选C。 (5)题解析： 篇章结构题。第一段讲树是地球上最古老的植物之一及树的作用；第二段讲一到三岁时树学会保护自己；第三段讲四岁时树快速生长，十五岁时成为年轻成年树并开花结果；第四段讲二十到二十五岁时树成为真正的成年树；第五段讲树变老甚至死亡及老树的重要性；第六段总结树的生命和人类生命相似。所以，本文的结构是“总分总”结构，选项D结构图符合。故选D。 Passage 4 （25-26八上·广东东莞东莞四校协作·期中）There are many delicious fruits in autumn. Many people like fruits because they are sweet. But do you know why fruits are sweet? The answer is very easy. Fruits are sweet because trees are smart. For some trees, the key to survival (生存) is having sweet fruits. Some animals eat the fruits. Their seeds (种子) can move to new places with the help of these animals. For example, bears like apples’ sweet taste. They eat apples and carry the seeds in their stomachs (胃). And the bears don’t stay in the same place all the time. They walk around instead. They stop in a new place. The seeds come out of the bears’ bodies and fall onto the ground in the new place. Some time later, the seeds might grow into new trees. Moving the seeds to a different place is really important because it is a new tree’s start. In this way, it doesn’t have to compete (竞争) with its parent tree for water or sun. However, not all fruits are sweet. Some fruits are sour, such as lemons. Maybe you don’t like lemons, but there are some insects (昆虫) and animals that enjoy lemons. They help lemon trees spread seeds. How clever the trees are! They can start the new lives without too much trouble. 1.Why do many people like fruits according to Paragraph 1? A. Because they are beautiful. B. Because they are cheap. C. Because they are sweet. D. Because they are smart. 2.What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us? A. When the seeds start their new life. B. How the seeds get the water and sunlight. C. How nearby trees match with each other. D. Why moving the seeds to a different place is important. 3.What does the underlined word “spread” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Enjoy something very much. B. Leave something important. C. Move something to another place. D. Find something in a different place. 4.How is the passage organized? A. B. C. D. 5.Where may we read the passage? A. In a novel. B. In an email. C. In a news report. D. In a science magazine. 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. C　4. B　5. D 【解析】【导语】 本文主要介绍了“水果为什么是甜的”，揭示了植物利用动物传播种子的生存智慧，同时补充说明酸水果也能通过特定生物传播种子，展现了自然界的奇妙规律。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“Many people like fruits because they are sweet.”可知，因为水果甜，所以很多人喜欢吃水果。故选C。 (2)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据“Moving the seeds to a different place is really important because it is a new tree’s start.”和“In this way, it doesn’t have to compete (竞争) with its parent tree for water or sun.”可知，第三段在讲把种子移到不同的地方是重要的。故选D。 (3)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据“Their seeds (种子) can move to new places with the help of these animals.”可知，此处指昆虫和动物帮助传播种子。故选C。 (4)题解析： 篇章结构题。根据上下文可知，第一段总起，讲为什么水果是甜的；第二段讲甜水果的作用；第三段讲种子传播到新地方的重要性；第四段补充说明酸水果也能通过特定动物传播种子；第五段总结，感叹树木的智慧。故选B。 (5)题解析： 推理判断题。根据“Many people like fruits because they are sweet.

It shows how plants secretly compete (竞争), help each other, and even talk in amazing ways. Plants compete against each other to live. In the rainforests, different kinds of plants compete for sunlight. The forest floor is described as a battlefield—only 2% of the sunlight gets there. Some plants spread their big leaves to reach light. But others may catch up with them. Finally, other fast⁃growing plants overtake them to receive more sunshine. Interestingly, plants even fight underground. Their roots compete for water and nutrients (营养素) in the soil, just like athletes racing for a prize. Plants also help each other and even communicate. In deserts, if a tree finds water， it will share it with others. Studies also show that plants use fungus (真菌) in the soil as a way to talk to each other. It’s kind of like how Wi⁃Fi works. For example, when insects attack corn plants, they send chemical “messages” through the air to warn neighbours. The warned plants then produce bitter (苦的) juices to drive the insects away. If a tomato plant gets a leaf disease, it can tell the plants nearby. The video not only teaches us about the plant world but also pushes us to understand that plants are important. “Plants are the needs of all life, including ourselves. We depend on them for every mouth of food that we eat and every lungful of air that we breathe,” Mr Lee, the director of the video said. “It’s time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants.” 1.What can we know about plants in the video from Bilibili? ①how they help each other ②their communication ③their self⁃protection ④their competition ⑤their secret of growing A. ①②⑤ B. ②④⑤ C. ①②④ D. ①④⑤ 2.What does the underlined word “overtake” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Take away. B. Fall behind. C. Look after. D. Get ahead of. 3.How does the writer develop Paragraph 3? A. By giving examples. B. By comparing facts. C. By raising questions. D. By listing numbers. 4.Mr Lee agrees that __________. A. plants are difficult to study B. wild plants need caring about C. we shouldn’t always depend on plants D. we look after houseplants too much 5.Which is the best title of the text? A. The Living Habits of Plants B. Making Better Videos on Plants C. An Amazing Plant World D. How Plants Talk with Each Other 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. A　4. B　5. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要基于B站视频内容，介绍了植物之间竞争、互助和交流的神奇现象，并呼吁人们重视和保护野生植物。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“It shows how plants secretly compete, help each other, and even talk in amazing ways.”可知，视频内容明确提到了它们如何互相帮助、它们的交流、它们的竞争。故选C。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据“Some plants spread their big leaves to reach light. But others may catch up with them. Finally, other fast-growing plants overtake them to receive more sunshine.” (一些植物伸展宽大的叶片以获取阳光，但其他植物可能会追上它们。最终，其他快速生长的植物会超越它们，获得更多阳光) 结合语境，overtake应表示“超过、超越”，与“Get ahead of”意思一致。故选D。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“In deserts, if a tree finds water, it will share it with others.”和“…when insects attack corn plants, they send chemical ‘messages’ through the air to warn neighbours.”以及“If a tomato plant gets a leaf disease, it can tell the plants nearby.”可知，第三段主要通过列举具体事例来展开说明。故选A。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段Mr Lee的话“It’s time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants.”可推知，他认为野生植物需要被关心和保护。故选B。 (5)题解析： 最佳标题题。全文围绕植物的竞争、互助和交流等神奇现象展开，揭示了植物世界不为人知的动态。标题“An Amazing Plant World” (一个神奇的植物世界) 能全面概括文章主题。故选C。 主题语境04 人与自然-环境 （25-26八上·广东实验中学·期中）The Amazon Rainforest is the world’s biggest rainforest (雨林). It is in South America. It is so wide that it covers a little more than half the size of China! The Amazon River runs through the rainforest. It’s the world’s second-longest river. The Amazon Rainforest covers much of Brazil. The green colour on the national flag of Brazil stands for the rainforest. However, climate change and human activities make it “sick”. Usually, the rainforest can fix itself. But now, it feels too “tired” to get better. According to a new study, many trees there may die, and the Amazon Rainforest may turn into a hot, dry grassland in a few years. Why is the Amazon “sick”? The Amazon Rainforest is one of the world’s wettest places. But since 2005, three droughts have hit the rainforest. They were caused by climate change. The trees don’t have enough water to grow. What’s worse, as they become dry, they can easily catch fire. Besides, people cut down rainforest trees for wood. They burn the forest to make farmland. All these kinds of activities have made about 17% of the rainforest disappear. ▲ The Amazon Rainforest is like the lungs (肺) of our planet. The rich plants there take CO2 out of the air and make oxygen (氧气). They make more than 20% of the planet’s oxygen. If the Amazon Rainforest “dies”, there will be more CO2, and our earth will become even hotter. The Amazon Rainforest is also home to over 3 million animals and plants. Many of them can’t live anywhere else. They would very likely just disappear. 1.According to the passage, what is NOT the reason that makes the Amazon Rainforest “sick”? A. People burn the forest to make farmland. B. Climate change. C. People cut down trees. D. Too many animals and plants live there. 2.What will happen if the Amazon Rainforest “dies”? A. People will lose their lungs. B. Many animals and plants will disappear. C. We will feel colder. D. There will be more oxygen. 3.What does the underlined word “droughts” mean? A. Too little rain. B. Too little snow. C. Too much rain. D. Too much fire. 4.Choose the best sentence to fill in the ▲ in the passage. A. Where is the Amazon Rainforest? B. Who lives in the Amazon Rainforest? C. How can we protect the Amazon Rainforest? D. What will happen if we lose the Amazon Rainforest? 5.Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. The Amazon Rainforest is in South America. B. The Amazon Rainforest is the world’s biggest rainforest. C. The Amazon River is the world’s longest river. D. More than 3 million animals and plants live in the Amazon Rainforest. 【答案】1. D　2. B　3.

You won’t know what you’re going to get, especially when you choose a blind box travel. Earlier this year, the blind box travel became very popular among young people in China. What is a blind box travel? If you don’t like to make plans and you are interested in unknown travels, you may choose to buy a blind box plane ticket at a low price, usually 100 or 200 yuan. Then you will receive some places to choose. They can be busy cities, quiet beaches, or mountain villages. But these places are usually less popular ones. Once you pick a place, send your personal information to the airline (航空公司). Then you can start your journey. Mr Cheng, in his 30s, doesn’t like making plans. He says, “I’d like to try the blind box travel. It’s really difficult to decide which place to go, and the plane tickets are not cheap. If I choose the blind box travel, I can choose from some places which are not so well-known at a low cost.” Unlike Cheng, 22-year-old Sun is not sure of the blind box travel. “I like to plan in advance (提前). Getting everything ready makes me not anxious. I really don’t like the feeling of losing control (控制),” says Mrs Sun.

Of course, there’s a lot of science behind movies like The Mars or Harry Potter and also cartoons like Frozen or Mulan. Cartoons use a lot of science and math to make things look as real as possible. For example, snow was used in many parts of the movie Frozen, but making the snow look real was a challenge. The snow needed to act differently in different situations, like if it was melting or blowing in the wind. Mathematicians had to create a computer program to make the snow look more natural. The mathematician Joseph faced this challenge with Frozen. He and his team used math equations(等式) to treat snow like many different pieces instead of one large thing, as movies did in the past. They worked for months to make a computer program do this. Science is important for superhero movies, too. Superheroes should have special powers that can’t be explained. But movie makers still want to make their actions as real as possible. For example, Burks, a chemistry professor, told the Daily Mail that some of the science behind The Avengers could be real. Iron Man’s coat is also possible to be real because it can be made of a light but strong material. In the movie, Tony makes new things by making atoms collide(使原子对撞), much like scientists do in real life. So next time you see a movie, don’t forget to think about the science behind it. 1.According to the article, there is much ________ behind movies. A. Internet B. project C. science D. light 2.The underlined word Mathematicians probably means ________. A. scientist of music B. scientist of math C. scientist of computer D. scientist of physics 3.________ and his team made the snow in Frozen looked real with the knowledge of math. A. Joseph B. Burks C. Iron Man D. Tony 4.Which of the following is TRUE about the movies? A. Science is also important for “superhero movies”. B. Cartoons use a lot of medicines to make things look as real as possible. C. All of the science behind The Avengers wasn’t real. D. Superheroes have special powers that can easily be explained. 5.Which one can be the best title for the article? A. Interesting movies and cartoons B. Real things in movies C. Movies or cartoons, which would be real? D. Science in movies and cartoons 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. A　4. A　5.
