Well, what kind of people are welcomed by others, then? There are people that naturally attract (吸引) you. By being with them just once, you start to like them. If you wonder why they attract people and want to be a person like them, you should learn how to develop the traits (特点) that they have. Firstly, everybody wants to be happy, and nobody wants to spend their time with an unhappy person. Well, you see, there is what you call mood linkage. If you are with a happy person, you are more likely to be happy, too. When people choose to spend time with a person, they are more likely to choose those who are cheerful. So if you are a happy person, many people will want to spend their time with you. Next, everybody needs someone to give encouragement (鼓励) to them, because sometimes in our lives we meet failure, sadness, problems and other bad things. So if you always choose to cheer (振奋起来) others up with encouraging words or actions, they will be willing to (乐意) spend time with you. Lastly, you are not a friend if you don’t give a hand to your friends when they need help. You should always be helpful to them, no matter what it costs, because when you need help, they will be there for you, too. It feels good if people want to be your friends because of your character (个性). So if you want to attract people, you should learn to develop these traits. 1.What can be an example of “mood linkage” according to the passage? A. You would like to help when someone is in need. B.

But don’t feel uneasy! Talking to yourself actually has a lot of benefits. ②You may know that thinking is good for the brain. It helps us make plans and manage (管理) our feelings. Speaking this inner (内在的) speech out loud can help us do better in different areas. ③When encouragement comes from oneself, it improves self-confidence. A study invited 72 tennis players to take part in matches. Researchers put the players into two groups: one group said nothing while playing, while the other talked to themselves while playing. They found that the self-talkers showed more confidence and played better. ④Talking to yourself, especially in the third person, can also help us manage bad feelings. “Talking to oneself in the third person leads people to think about themselves in the way they think about others” said a professor from Michigan State University. This can help us see things from a different aspect and then feel better. ⑤Self-talking also helps improve memory. Researchers tested four ways to memorize things: reading silently, reading aloud, listening to others reading and listening to a record of reading. Those who read out loud remember the information best because the information is likely to become a long-term memory if it is said out loud. 1.What does the underlined word “benefits” mean in Paragraph 1? A. Happy feelings. B. Different ways. C. Clear plans. D. Good points. 2.What can self-talking help to do according to Paragraph 3? A. To find out the best players. B. To develop a player’s skills. C. To improve one’s confidence. D. To change a person’s appearance. 3.Which of the following can help people manage feelings better? A. “Is there anything we can do for her?” B. “I have already tried my best. Just do what I can.” C. “What can Annie do to make the situation better?” D. “You are the strongest person I’ve ever met.” 4.According to the last paragraph, what can reading out loud help? A. It can help listeners have long-term memories. B. It can help to remember things longer. C. It can help to memorize things quickly. D. It can make more people know the information. 5.What’s the structure of the text? A. B. C. D. 【答案】1. D　2. C　3. C　4. B　5. B 【解析】【导语】 本文为说明文，主要讲述自言自语实际上有很多好处，包括有助于改善大脑功能、提高自信心、管理不良情绪以及改善记忆力等。 (1)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据文章“Talking to yourself actually has a lot of benefits. ”以及后文介绍的自言自语的各种好处，可知“benefits”指的是“优点，好处”。故选D。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章“When encouragement comes from oneself, it improves self-confidence.（当鼓励来自自己时，它会提高自信心。）”可知，自言自语有助于提高自信心。故选C。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章“ Talking to yourself, especially in the third person, can also help us manage bad feelings.”可知，使用第三人称的自言自语方式有助于更好地管理不良情绪。选项C“Annie能做些什么来改善情况？”正是使用第三人称的自我对话方式。故选C。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章“Those who read out loud remember the information best because the information is likely to become a long-term memory if it is said out loud.”可知，大声朗读有助于更长久地记忆东西。故选B。 (5)题解析： 篇章结构题。文章第①段总述自言自语有很多好处，第②③④⑤段分别从不同方面阐述好处，属于“总—分”结构，先提出观点，再分点阐述其好处。选项B的结构符合。故选B。 Passage 2 （25-26八上·广东江门华侨中学·期中）Today, QR codes are everywhere in our lives. However, scanning (扫描) them a lot might sometimes feel like a burden. Is scanning QR codes for everything really convenient? What do you think? Some people think using QR codes is convenient for us. We can scan a QR code to get on the bus without using cash. When you’re at a store, you just need to show the QR code on your phone. Then you can pay for your toys or snacks. You don’t need to worry about getting the numbers wrong. Also QR codes help us get lots of information, and it’s all fast and right. For example, in the zoo, there are QR codes everywhere. Scan them and you can learn all kinds of amazing facts about animals, like having a personal tour guide right on your phone. But some people think scanning QR codes feels like a burden now in our everyday lives. First, it takes more time. Back in the day, ordering food at a restaurant was simple— just talk to the waiter! Now, you might need to take out your phone and scan a QR code to follow a restaurant or an official account (公众号). If there’s no Internet, you can’t even do that. Also when you scan some QR codes, there might be pop-up (弹出的) ads. They may take you to some other pages. Or you need to share more of your information. Later, you may get calls and junk messages. 1.Why do some people think QR codes are convenient? A. Because they are very beautiful and interesting. B. Because they can make phone calls cheaper. C. Because they allow people to pay and get information easily. D. Because they help people make new friends. 2.How did the author order food in a restaurant in the past? A. By writing an order on a piece of paper. B. By talking to a waiter directly. C. By sending a text message to the kitchen. D.

Something that is modern and digital. 5.Where can you read this article? A. A story book. B. A guide book. C. A dictionary. D. A science magazine. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. A　4. A　5. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文，围绕二维码在生活中的应用展开，介绍了人们对二维码的不同态度。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“We can scan a QR code to get on the bus without using cash... Also QR codes help us get lots of information, and it’s all fast and right.”可知，一些人认为二维码方便是因为它能让人们轻松支付和获取信息。故选C。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“Back in the day, ordering food at a restaurant was simple— just talk to the waiter!”可知，过去作者在餐厅是直接和服务员沟通点餐的。故选B。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“when you scan some QR codes, there might be pop-up ads...

Every year, millions of birds fly thousands of kilometres between their home area and winter places. Why do birds take such long and dangerous journeys? The reasons are food and weather. In cold seasons, food becomes difficult to find, and birds move to warmer places to find enough insects (昆虫) or plants to eat. Scientists studied how birds travel for a long time. Today, scientists use GPS to help them. They found that birds use different ways to find their directions (方向), like looking at the sun and stars, and remembering mountains and rivers to help them know their ways. Migration is arduous. Birds face many dangers, such as storms, enemies (天敌), and tall buildings. To prepare for the trip, they eat more food to store energy. During the journey, birds fly in groups to save energy by following the first bird. ▲ For example, some birds help flowers grow through pollination (授粉). However, climate (气候) change and human activities are making migration harder. Scientists say that some birds may change their ways or even disappear if we don’t protect their rest areas. By building bird-friendly cities and using less light at night, humans can help these amazing travelers. 1.What are the reasons for bird migration? A. To save energy during trips. B. To see rivers and mountains. C. To find food and better weather. D. To protect themselves from enemies. 2.According to Paragraph 2, how do birds find their direction during migration? A. By comparing different kinds of birds. B. By looking at the sun and stars to find directions. C. By remembering cities. D. By sensing the climate change. 3.What does the underlined word “arduous” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Boring. B. Exciting. C. Helpful. D. Difficult. 4.Which of the following sentences can we put in “ ▲ ” in the last paragraph? A. Bird migration is important to ecosystems (生态系统). B. Human activities are bad for bird migration. C. Climate change makes bird migration longer. D. Bird migration makes the number of insects smaller. 5.Why does the writer write this passage? A. To tell the history of bird migration. B.

A new study suggests that a person’s name may influence how they look when they grow up. In the study, researchers showed people photos of different faces and asked them to choose the most matching (相配的) names. People in the study could correctly match the names to the adult faces quite well. However, they found it much harder to match names to children’s faces. This suggests that as people grow older, their looks might slowly change to fit their name. The researchers also used a computer program to compare faces. It found that adults with the same name look more similar to each other than adults with different names. But this was not true for children. ▲ The researchers think it might be because many people have the same ideas about names. For example, people might think someone named “Bob” should have a rounder and happier face. Without realizing it, a person named Bob might smile more often or choose a certain hairstyle, making his face look rounder and friendlier over time. This way, he slowly grows to look like his name. The study shows that our names might play a small but interesting part in shaping who we are even in how we look. 1.What did people find difficult to do in the study? A. To choose the right name for adults. B. To match names to children’s faces. C. To take photos of different faces. D. To give names to children. 2.What can we infer (推断) about adults from the study?

Surprisingly, the answer is yes, but their voices are too high for humans to hear. A new study has found that plants even “shout” when they are stressed. In this study, researchers tested three groups of plants. Each group had the same number of tomato and tobacco (烟叶) plants. The first group was watered regularly (定期) to keep them healthy. The second group didn’t get any water and stayed in dry conditions. The third group was watered the same way as the first group, but the researchers cut off their stems to make them hurt. During the study, the researchers used special microphones (麦克风) to record the sounds made by the plants in each group. According to the study, the unstressed plants in the first group remained quiet. However, the stressed plants in the second and third groups made a lot of sounds. Each stressed plant produced about 30 to 50 sounds per hour. What’s more, plants under different types of stress will make different sounds. The researchers also discovered that many other plants, such as corn and grapes, also “shouted” under stress. Recording these sounds could be helpful in farming, because it can show if crops are getting enough water or hurt. But how do plants make these sounds? “It’s not clear yet,” said Lilach Hadany, one of the researchers. “We think that air bubbles (气泡) form (形成) and break inside the plant, so it can create sounds.” She added, “And we’re also studying which animals might be listening to these sounds.” 1.What do plants do when they are stressed? A. They grow faster. B. They change color. C. They make sounds. D. They lose leaves. 2.What might happen to a tomato plant if it made 40 sounds in one hour? A. It stayed in warm conditions. B. Its stems got hurt. C. It got enough water. D. It lived near tobacco plants. 3.Which of the following has a similar meaning to the underlined word “crops” in Paragraph 4? A. Animals. B. Plants. C. Sounds. D. Farmers. 4.What will researchers probably (可能) do next? A. Find out which animals can hear the sounds. B. Do research with more types of plants. C. Study how to use the sounds to help with farming. D. Learn about why animals “shout” under stress. 5.What is the best title for this passage? A. Different Types of Stress for Plants. B. The Way to Record Plants’ Sounds. C. Plants’ Sounds under Stress. D. The Use of Plants’ Sounds in Farming. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. B　4. A　5.

Many people are crazy about it so that they take a personality test (性格测试) named MBTI test to find out the answer. Many people find the MBTI is useful. It groups people into 16 kinds, which start with the letter “I” or “E”, such as “ENTJ, INFP” or more. “E” is short for “Extroversion (外向性)” while “I” is for “Introversion (内向性)”.“I’m an ‘E’ person. I should go to the party and make more friends.” “I’m an ‘I’ person. I’d like to work by myself. I could be a writer in the future.” They believe the MBTI result can help them make decisions for activities, jobs or even life choices more quickly. But there are also problems. Some people take the test for a second time and get different results. Some people find it hard to answer some questions. “I like watching TV by myself. But I also enjoy playing with friends. Am I an ‘I’ or an ‘E’?” When you take a personality test, you may think, “Oh, that’s me.” That’s because the descriptions (描述) are generic. They can be used to describe many people. Research has found that over 50％ of people get a different result when they do the MBTI again just five weeks later. Personalities can change with time, scientists say. You can be an “I” now, but you may become an “E” when you get older. Studies have also shown that the test is not real at telling people’s success in different jobs. So, don’t take it too seriously. 1.What is the MBTI test about? A. Personality. B. Health. C. Hobbies. D. Future jobs. 2.How might an “I” person feel about a big, noisy party according to the test? A. He/she would feel excited and talk to everyone. B. He/she would prefer to stay alone or with a few close friends. C. He/she would like playing games with others in the party. D. He/she would feel it’s the best place to make new friends. 3.What does the word “generic” mean in the passage? A. Common. B. Special. C. Clear. D. Scientific. 4.Why do some people get different results when they do the MBTI test again? A. Because the test questions are too difficult. B. Because their personalities can change over time. C. Because they don’t understand the questions. D. Because the test is only for young people. 5.Which is the best title for the passage? A. Why the MBTI Test Is So Popular B. The Best Way to Make Life Choices C. MBTI: Popular but not Perfect D. How to Change your Personality 【答案】1. A　2. B　3. A　4. B　5. C 【解析】【导语】 本文主要介绍了MBTI性格测试在年轻人中的流行情况，以及它的用途和存在的问题。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“Many people are crazy about it so that they take a personality test (性格测试) named MBTI test to find out the answer.”可知，MBTI测试是关于性格的。故选A。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“I’m an ‘I’ person. I’d like to work by myself.”可知，“I”型性格的人喜欢独自工作，因此在一个嘈杂的派对上，他们可能更愿意独自待着或与少数亲密朋友在一起。故选B。 (3)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第四段“They can be used to describe many people.”可知，这些描述是通用的，可以用于描述很多人。因此“generic”的意思是“普通的、通用的”。故选A。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段“Personalities can change with time, scientists say. You can be an ‘I’ now, but you may become an ‘E’ when you get older.”可知，人的性格会随时间改变，因此再次测试时结果可能不同。故选B。 (5)题解析： 最佳标题题。本文既介绍了MBTI测试的流行和用途，也指出了其存在的问题，如结果不稳定、描述过于通用等，因此“MBTI: Popular but not Perfect”最能概括全文内容。故选C。 主题语境02 人与社会-艺术 （25-26八上·广东惠州惠城区华侨中学·期中）Do you enjoy watching films? Do you know how film was invented? In fact, it doesn’t have just one inventor. Instead, it has been developed by many people over time. The history of film dates back to the late 19th century. In 1894, the Lumiere brothers in France invented the motion (运动) picture camera. That made it possible to record and show moving pictures to people. In March, 1895, their first film was born in Paris. It recorded some workers leaving a factory, lasting about 46 seconds. Later, the Lumiere brothers made more films. These early films were black-and-white, short and silent, and they often recorded everyday life. The silent era (时代) in film ended around the late 1920s. In 1927, the Jazz Singer came to the screen and it is often considered the turning point from silent to sound films. This change led to the decline in the production of silent films. And many silent film stars found themselves out of work. Even so, some silent films still continued to be made well into the 1930s. During the 1930s and 1940s, Technicolour developed fast and it brought colour to the silver screen. The first full-colour film Becky Sharp came out in 1935. Later, more kinds of films appeared, such as dramas, action films, sci-fi films and musicals, and digital (数字的) technology was introduced. Anyway, the history of film keeps going, and it will keep developing with new technologies and the need of people. 1.How does the writer start the text? A. By asking questions. B. By comparing facts. C. By giving examples. D. By telling a story. 2.Which of the following is TRUE about the Lumière brothers’ first film? A. It came out in March, 1894. B. It lasted more than 1 minute. C. It was black-and-white and had no sound. D. It recorded some workers entering a factory. 3.What does the underlined word “decline” mean? A. Fall. B. Success. C. Stop. D. Gain. 4.What did the development of Technicolour directly lead to? A. Sound films. B. Colour films. C. More kinds of films. D. Digital technology. 5.What is the best title for the text? A. The pioneers of film B. The history of film C. The magic of the silver screen D. The world’s greatest invention 【答案】1. A　2. C　3. A　4. B　5.

Well, what kind of people are welcomed by others, then? There are people that naturally attract (吸引) you. By being with them just once, you start to like them. If you wonder why they attract people and want to be a person like them, you should learn how to develop the traits (特点) that they have. Firstly, everybody wants to be happy, and nobody wants to spend their time with an unhappy person. Well, you see, there is what you call mood linkage. If you are with a happy person, you are more likely to be happy, too. When people choose to spend time with a person, they are more likely to choose those who are cheerful. So if you are a happy person, many people will want to spend their time with you. Next, everybody needs someone to give encouragement (鼓励) to them, because sometimes in our lives we meet failure, sadness, problems and other bad things. So if you always choose to cheer (振奋起来) others up with encouraging words or actions, they will be willing to (乐意) spend time with you. Lastly, you are not a friend if you don’t give a hand to your friends when they need help. You should always be helpful to them, no matter what it costs, because when you need help, they will be there for you, too. It feels good if people want to be your friends because of your character (个性). So if you want to attract people, you should learn to develop these traits. 1.What can be an example of “mood linkage” according to the passage? A. You would like to help when someone is in need. B.

Talking to yourself actually has a lot of benefits. ②You may know that thinking is good for the brain. It helps us make plans and manage (管理) our feelings. Speaking this inner (内在的) speech out loud can help us do better in different areas. ③When encouragement comes from oneself, it improves self-confidence.

They found that the self-talkers showed more confidence and played better. ④Talking to yourself, especially in the third person, can also help us manage bad feelings. “Talking to oneself in the third person leads people to think about themselves in the way they think about others” said a professor from Michigan State University. This can help us see things from a different aspect and then feel better. ⑤Self-talking also helps improve memory. Researchers tested four ways to memorize things: reading silently, reading aloud, listening to others reading and listening to a record of reading.

This story happens in the ocean. Chinese scientists have made a new kind of robot. It looks like a small fish and can swim in the water. But this fish is not alive—it is a machine! It is made to help clean the oceans by collecting tiny pieces of plastic called microplastics. These microplastics are smaller than 5 mm. They come from plastic bags, bottles and clothes. Fish and other sea animals often eat them by mistake. This is very bad for their health. Now, the robotic fish can swim around and collect the microplastics. It moves like a real fish, so 1 . The robot is about 1.5 cm long and it is very light. 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. 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 lab! 1.What is the robotic fish made for? A.

Passage 2 （25-56八上·广东江门台山市新宁中学·期中）Our earth has two very cold areas at its ends: the Arctic and the Antarctic (北极地区和南极地区). The Arctic is the area around the North Pole, while the Antarctic is the area around the South Pole. They have a lot in common, but they are also different in many ways. The two places are very cold and covered with ice. Much of the ice there never melts (融化). Heavy snowstorms are common in both places. One big difference is what is under the ice. Water is under most of the ice in the Arctic. However, land is under most of the ice in the Antarctic. Antarctica is a large continent (大陆). It has mountains, valleys and plains (山谷和平原). They are covered with ice. The Arctic is warmer than the Antarctic. Plants grow in the Arctic in summer. The Antarctic has almost no plants because it is too cold. Only a few small plants grow there each summer. Some animals live in the Arctic, like polar bears, foxes, and wolves. Penguins live in Antarctica. Whales can live in both places. Many people live in the Arctic in towns. But in Antarctica, it is too cold to live for long. Only scientists stay there for work, living in special buildings. 1.What is the main idea of the first paragraph? A. The Arctic is colder than the Antarctic. B. The North Pole and the South Pole are the same. C. The Arctic and Antarctic are both cold but also have differences. D.

Passage 3 （25-26八上·广东惠州知行学校·期中）Bird migration (迁徙) is one of nature’s most amazing things. Every year, millions of birds fly thousands of kilometres between their home area and winter places. Why do birds take such long and dangerous journeys? The reasons are food and weather. In cold seasons, food becomes difficult to find, and birds move to warmer places to find enough insects (昆虫) or plants to eat. Scientists studied how birds travel for a long time. Today, scientists use GPS to help them. They found that birds use different ways to find their directions (方向), like looking at the sun and stars, and remembering mountains and rivers to help them know their ways. Migration is arduous. Birds face many dangers, such as storms, enemies (天敌), and tall buildings. To prepare for the trip, they eat more food to store energy. During the journey, birds fly in groups to save energy by following the first bird. ▲ For example, some birds help flowers grow through pollination (授粉). However, climate (气候) change and human activities are making migration harder. Scientists say that some birds may change their ways or even disappear if we don’t protect their rest areas. By building bird-friendly cities and using less light at night, humans can help these amazing travelers. 1.What are the reasons for bird migration? A. To save energy during trips. B. To see rivers and mountains. C. To find food and better weather. D. To protect themselves from enemies. 2.According to Paragraph 2, how do birds find their direction during migration? A. By comparing different kinds of birds. B. By looking at the sun and stars to find directions. C. By remembering cities. D. By sensing the climate change. 3.What does the underlined word “arduous” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Boring. B. Exciting. C. Helpful. D. Difficult. 4.Which of the following sentences can we put in “ ▲ ” in the last paragraph? A. Bird migration is important to ecosystems (生态系统). B. Human activities are bad for bird migration. C. Climate change makes bird migration longer. D. Bird migration makes the number of insects smaller. 5.Why does the writer write this passage? A. To tell the history of bird migration. B. To encourage people to help birds in cities. C. To describe a natural event and its importance. D. To show how to build bird-friendly gardens. Passage 4 （25-26八上·广东江门实验中学（初中部）-外研版·期中）Do you often ask questions? Children are known for asking many questions because curiosity is part of human nature (天性). As we all know, curiosity has many good points. Many great discoveries in history came from curious people. Thanks to their curiosity, people now know more about the world and have helpful technology to use. In school, curiosity can also help you. If you develop curiosity about learning, classes will become more interesting and you will do well in schoolwork. Even if you’re no longer a student, curiosity will make you a great worker. ▲ Luckily, you can improve curiosity by yourselves. Usually, the more you learn about a topic, the more interesting it becomes. To improve your curiosity, get information from as many sources (来源) as possible when you learn about a topic. At the same time, read all kinds of books, listen to speeches and ask questions. Don’t assume that you have already known everything. Remember everyone knows something special. And perhaps you don’t know that. Find out what it is, and ask about it. This lets you learn something and makes the other people happy by sharing their knowledge. Let’s try to become people with curiosity. 1.Why do children like to ask questions? A. They are born with natural curiosity. B. They don’t know about the human nature. C.

Try to Be Curious B. Learn to Ask Questions C. Reasons for Being Curious D. Ways to Improve Yourself 主题语境05 人与自我-个人情况 （25-26八上·广东佛山·南海区水平测试）Have you ever thought that someone looks like their name? A new study suggests that a person’s name may influence how they look when they grow up. In the study, researchers showed people photos of different faces and asked them to choose the most matching (相配的) names. People in the study could correctly match the names to the adult faces quite well. However, they found it much harder to match names to children’s faces. This suggests that as people grow older, their looks might slowly change to fit their name. The researchers also used a computer program to compare faces. It found that adults with the same name look more similar to each other than adults with different names. But this was not true for children. ▲ The researchers think it might be because many people have the same ideas about names. For example, people might think someone named “Bob” should have a rounder and happier face. Without realizing it, a person named Bob might smile more often or choose a certain hairstyle, making his face look rounder and friendlier over time. This way, he slowly grows to look like his name. The study shows that our names might play a small but interesting part in shaping who we are even in how we look. 1.What did people find difficult to do in the study? A. To choose the right name for adults. B. To match names to children’s faces. C. To take photos of different faces. D. To give names to children. 2.What can we infer (推断) about adults from the study? A. They change their names more often. B. They don’t care about their names. C. Their faces match their names better. D. Computers can’t recognize their faces. 3.Which of the following can be put in ________ in Paragraph 4? A. Why does this happen? B. What is the final result? C. How do computers help? D. When did the study begin? 4.What does Bob probably look like? A. B. C. D. 5.Which is the best title for this passage? A. How to Choose a Good Name? B. Why Do Children Look Different? C. Do Computers Know Our Faces? D. Can Names Change Our Looks? 主题语境06 人与自我-感情与情绪 （25-26八上·广东茂名高州·期中）If a friend gives us a big help, do you think it’s a good idea to write him a thank-you note? But how many of us can sit down to do this? “People don’t seem to give thanks to people quite often,” Amit Kumar from the University of Texas said. Why are people uncertain about sending thank-you notes? And how do people feel when they receive (收到) one? Kumar and his team asked some students to send a thank-you note to another person by email. Then, they asked both the writers and the recipients how sending or receiving these notes made them feel. They found that the students didn’t like to write the notes because ▲ . They worried about what to say and how to say it. The receiver, however, enjoyed the notes. “When you are a receiver, you can feel the warmth of the note,” one of the receivers said. The writers also thought it might be embarrassing (尴尬的) for the receiver to receive a thank-you note, but this was not true. “The receivers feel quite happy,” Kumar said. “If people know that writing a thank-you note could have such a big influence on others, they will do it more often,” Kumar added, “Simple changes in our everyday lives can make a big difference to how we treat other people, so start from writing the thank-you note,” Kumar said. 1.How does the writer start the passage?

Surprisingly, the answer is yes, but their voices are too high for humans to hear. A new study has found that plants even “shout” when they are stressed. In this study, researchers tested three groups of plants. Each group had the same number of tomato and tobacco (烟叶) plants. The first group was watered regularly (定期) to keep them healthy. The second group didn’t get any water and stayed in dry conditions. The third group was watered the same way as the first group, but the researchers cut off their stems to make them hurt. During the study, the researchers used special microphones (麦克风) to record the sounds made by the plants in each group. According to the study, the unstressed plants in the first group remained quiet. However, the stressed plants in the second and third groups made a lot of sounds. Each stressed plant produced about 30 to 50 sounds per hour. What’s more, plants under different types of stress will make different sounds. The researchers also discovered that many other plants, such as corn and grapes, also “shouted” under stress. Recording these sounds could be helpful in farming, because it can show if crops are getting enough water or hurt. But how do plants make these sounds? “It’s not clear yet,” said Lilach Hadany, one of the researchers. “We think that air bubbles (气泡) form (形成) and break inside the plant, so it can create sounds.” She added, “And we’re also studying which animals might be listening to these sounds.” 1.What do plants do when they are stressed? A. They grow faster. B. They change color. C. They make sounds. D. They lose leaves. 2.What might happen to a tomato plant if it made 40 sounds in one hour? A. It stayed in warm conditions. B. Its stems got hurt. C. It got enough water. D. It lived near tobacco plants. 3.Which of the following has a similar meaning to the underlined word “crops” in Paragraph 4? A. Animals. B. Plants. C. Sounds. D. Farmers. 4.What will researchers probably (可能) do next? A. Find out which animals can hear the sounds. B. Do research with more types of plants. C. Study how to use the sounds to help with farming. D. Learn about why animals “shout” under stress. 5.What is the best title for this passage? A. Different Types of Stress for Plants. B. The Way to Record Plants’ Sounds. C. Plants’ Sounds under Stress. D. The Use of Plants’ Sounds in Farming. 主题语境01 人与社会-科普知识与现代技术 Passage 1 （25-26八上·广东茂名电白区第一中学·期中）MBTI is a personality (性格) test.

Many people are crazy about it so that they take a personality test (性格测试) named MBTI test to find out the answer. Many people find the MBTI is useful. It groups people into 16 kinds, which start with the letter “I” or “E”, such as “ENTJ, INFP” or more. “E” is short for “Extroversion (外向性)” while “I” is for “Introversion (内向性)”.“I’m an ‘E’ person. I should go to the party and make more friends.” “I’m an ‘I’ person. I’d like to work by myself. I could be a writer in the future.” They believe the MBTI result can help them make decisions for activities, jobs or even life choices more quickly. But there are also problems. Some people take the test for a second time and get different results. Some people find it hard to answer some questions. “I like watching TV by myself. But I also enjoy playing with friends. Am I an ‘I’ or an ‘E’?” When you take a personality test, you may think, “Oh, that’s me.” That’s because the descriptions (描述) are generic. They can be used to describe many people. Research has found that over 50％ of people get a different result when they do the MBTI again just five weeks later. Personalities can change with time, scientists say. You can be an “I” now, but you may become an “E” when you get older. Studies have also shown that the test is not real at telling people’s success in different jobs.

Do you know how film was invented? In fact, it doesn’t have just one inventor. Instead, it has been developed by many people over time. The history of film dates back to the late 19th century. In 1894, the Lumiere brothers in France invented the motion (运动) picture camera. That made it possible to record and show moving pictures to people. In March, 1895, their first film was born in Paris. It recorded some workers leaving a factory, lasting about 46 seconds. Later, the Lumiere brothers made more films. These early films were black-and-white, short and silent, and they often recorded everyday life. The silent era (时代) in film ended around the late 1920s. In 1927, the Jazz Singer came to the screen and it is often considered the turning point from silent to sound films. This change led to the decline in the production of silent films. And many silent film stars found themselves out of work. Even so, some silent films still continued to be made well into the 1930s. During the 1930s and 1940s, Technicolour developed fast and it brought colour to the silver screen. The first full-colour film Becky Sharp came out in 1935. Later, more kinds of films appeared, such as dramas, action films, sci-fi films and musicals, and digital (数字的) technology was introduced. Anyway, the history of film keeps going, and it will keep developing with new technologies and the need of people. 1.How does the writer start the text? A. By asking questions. B. By comparing facts. C. By giving examples. D. By telling a story. 2.Which of the following is TRUE about the Lumière brothers’ first film? A. It came out in March, 1894. B. It lasted more than 1 minute. C. It was black-and-white and had no sound. D. It recorded some workers entering a factory. 3.What does the underlined word “decline” mean? A. Fall. B. Success. C. Stop. D. Gain. 4.What did the development of Technicolour directly lead to? A. Sound films. B. Colour films. C. More kinds of films. D. Digital technology. 5.What is the best title for the text? A.
