A Conversation Between Mother and Son Passage 2 （25-26八上·天津外国语大学附属外国语学校·期中）Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage, and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket (桶). It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors. However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After dismissing unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly high-fived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was complete. What’s more, it was the perfect fit for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats. Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna called back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved—after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想)”, adding yet another name. Last fall, with the temperature falling, we came to the end of sitting outdoors. Were we faced with one dilemma-what to do about it in the winter? Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter. When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots and some flat, old boxes. But now, after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives. 1.Donna decided to replace the chair and bucket to ________. A. lighten the carrying load B. attract more neighbours C. get better seating for chats D. adapt to warmer weather 2.How did the bench get its various names? A. From items placed on it. B. From seasonal discussions. C. From users’ activities on it. D. From Donna’s creative ideas. 3.Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To suggest the flowers would soon be planted. B. To show the bench was not serving its purpose. C. To describe the bench’s practical use in winter. D. To explain why the bench needed winter storage. 4.What does “The Bench” represent by the story’s end? A. A symbol of community bonds. B. A solution to the aging problem. C. A reminder of the past summer. D. A memory of a valued online order. 主题语境03 人与社会-科普知识与现代技术 （25-26八上·天津部分区·期中）Shatanu Gangwar is a young inventor from India. When he was 12, he noticed a problem: blind people often have trouble crossing the street safely. They use canes (手杖) to sense objects, but canes can’t warn them about cars or bikes far away. Shatanu wanted to help, so he started working on it. He spent months researching and testing. Finally, he made a “smart cane”. The cane has a small sensor (传感器) that can detect (探测) objects up to 3 meters away. When it finds something, it vibrates (震动) and makes a beeping (滴滴) sound. This warns the user in time. The cane is also light—it only weighs 200 grams, much lighter than most traditional canes. Shatanu didn’t stop there. He wanted to make the cane affordable. He used cheap materials, so the cane costs only about $20. Today, many blind people in India use his smart cane, Shatanu says, “I just wanted to help people.

As a child, I wore a heavy and uncomfortable artificial arm to try to fit in. But it was hard, and I often felt different and sad because of the way people looked at me. By the time I was eight, I had very little confidence. I decided to stop wearing the robotic hand. I didn’t feel I needed to be “fixed”—I wasn’t broken. I started playing sports to show that my disability (残疾) wouldn’t stop me. I especially loved swimming. It made me feel free. At 13, I joined the Australian swimming team and later competed in the 2004 Paralympics. My disability actually helped me succeed. Over time, society (社会) began to see disability differently. People became more curious and less fearful. They had many questions to ask. And they started to see the person first, not just the disability. In 2021, a company called Covvi asked me to try their new bionic (仿生的) hand, and it was able to move with brain signals of the user. At first, I said no. But later, I agreed to test it. The technology (科技) is amazing, but learning to use it takes time. I’m still training my brain to control (控制) it. Now, I wear the new hand not because I need fixing, but because it helps me do more. So I decided to share my story to help others. People love me and my new hand after they hear my story.

It was too heavy to carry. B. He wanted to join the swimming team. C. He realized he didn’t need to be “fixed” and accepted himself. D. People laughed at him when he wore it. 2.When did the writer join the Australian swimming team? A. At the age of 8. B. At the age of 13. C. In 2004. D. In 2021. 3.What can we infer from the sentence “My disability actually helped me succeed”? A. The writer’s disability made him find his own values. B. Disabled people are easier to succeed than normal people. C. The writer’s success has nothing to do with his hard work. D. The Australian swimming team only accepts disabled players. 4.What did the writer think first when Covvi invited him to try the new bionic hand? A. He agreed immediately. B. He refused at first. C. He felt very excited. D. He was worried. 5.What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The writer’s experience of learning to swim. B. How the writer lived with his disability and achieved his dream. C. The development of bionic hands in modern technology. D. The changes of society’s attitude (看法) towards disabled people. 主题语境03 人与自我-家庭、朋友与周围的人 （25-26八上·天津第一0二中学·期中）Once there was a little boy who became very ill.

Because his grandparents lived in old buildings without elevators (电梯), they had to climb stairs (楼梯) every day. It became even harder after his grandfather fell ill. “How to make them climb stairs more easily?” he thought. Three years later, 13-year-old Ding solved this problem.

When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage, and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket (桶). It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors. However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After dismissing unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly high-fived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was complete. What’s more, it was the perfect fit for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats. Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna called back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved—after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想)”, adding yet another name. Last fall, with the temperature falling, we came to the end of sitting outdoors. Were we faced with one dilemma-what to do about it in the winter? Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter. When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots and some flat, old boxes. But now, after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives. 1.Donna decided to replace the chair and bucket to ________. A. lighten the carrying load B. attract more neighbours C. get better seating for chats D. adapt to warmer weather 2.How did the bench get its various names? A. From items placed on it. B. From seasonal discussions. C. From users’ activities on it. D. From Donna’s creative ideas. 3.Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To suggest the flowers would soon be planted. B. To show the bench was not serving its purpose. C. To describe the bench’s practical use in winter. D. To explain why the bench needed winter storage. 4.What does “The Bench” represent by the story’s end? A. A symbol of community bonds. B. A solution to the aging problem. C. A reminder of the past summer. D. A memory of a valued online order. 【答案】1. C　2. C　3. B　4. A 【解析】【导语】 本文讲述了社区的长椅，它承载着邻里之间的友情。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable.”以及“What’s more, it was the perfect fit for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats.”可知，替换是为了提供更舒适的聊天座位。故选C。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’!

When he was 12, he noticed a problem: blind people often have trouble crossing the street safely. They use canes (手杖) to sense objects, but canes can’t warn them about cars or bikes far away. Shatanu wanted to help, so he started working on it. He spent months researching and testing. Finally, he made a “smart cane”. The cane has a small sensor (传感器) that can detect (探测) objects up to 3 meters away. When it finds something, it vibrates (震动) and makes a beeping (滴滴) sound. This warns the user in time. The cane is also light—it only weighs 200 grams, much lighter than most traditional canes. Shatanu didn’t stop there. He wanted to make the cane affordable. He used cheap materials, so the cane costs only about $20. Today, many blind people in India use his smart cane, Shatanu says, “I just wanted to help people. That’s what drives me.” 1.What problem did Shatanu Gangwar notice when he was 12? A. Blind people couldn’t find their canes easily. B. Traditional canes were too heavy. C.

The family was a big one with several children. Ben went to school when he was 8. Although he did well in his study, there was not enough money for his education. So he left school after two years. But he never stopped learning. In 1742, he invented the famous Franklin stove. Before Ben invented the Franklin stove, people heated their homes with fire in the traditional fireplace (壁炉). Using such kind of fireplace was not good because most of the heat went into the chimney (烟囱). And it was also dangerous because the fire in the fireplace could set the house on fire. Ben came up with the idea of using the baffle (折流板) system to make the heat travel throughout the stove. The Franklin stove used less wood and was safer to heat the room. What’s more, Ben was interested in electricity. After many years of hard work, he finally had a plan to prove (证明) that lightning was electricity and he was successful at last in the kite experiment.

When the teacher called out my name, my heart sank (下沉). I felt so anxious that I had a stomachache all day. When I entered the contest room, I saw the judges and some other students. I sat in a corner, away from everyone else. My mind was racing with doubts. What if I make a mistake and everyone laughs at me? What if the judge stops me halfway? What if... Everything changed when a student sitting in front of me stood up and said, “Sorry, I quit”, before leaving the room. I started to notice the other students. Some were pacing back and forth (来回踱步). Some were whispering (轻声说话) to themselves. Some were just staring at nothing. I wasn’t the only one who was nervous. I used to believe that some people were just naturally good at public speaking. But now I realized the truth: No one is born a good speaker. What made me feel even better was that after the contest began, no one was laughed at or asked to leave for making a mistake. Everyone was focusing on their own speech. Then it was my turn. I gathered my courage and walked onto the stage. My heart was beating fast and sweat rolled down my forehead.

Practice makes perfect. B. Good preparation is important. C. True courage is facing your fear. D. Where there is a will, there is a way. 5.What is the main idea of the article? A.

As a child, I wore a heavy and uncomfortable artificial arm to try to fit in. But it was hard, and I often felt different and sad because of the way people looked at me. By the time I was eight, I had very little confidence. I decided to stop wearing the robotic hand. I didn’t feel I needed to be “fixed”—I wasn’t broken. I started playing sports to show that my disability (残疾) wouldn’t stop me. I especially loved swimming. It made me feel free. At 13, I joined the Australian swimming team and later competed in the 2004 Paralympics. My disability actually helped me succeed. Over time, society (社会) began to see disability differently. People became more curious and less fearful. They had many questions to ask. And they started to see the person first, not just the disability. In 2021, a company called Covvi asked me to try their new bionic (仿生的) hand, and it was able to move with brain signals of the user. At first, I said no. But later, I agreed to test it. The technology (科技) is amazing, but learning to use it takes time. I’m still training my brain to control (控制) it. Now, I wear the new hand not because I need fixing, but because it helps me do more. So I decided to share my story to help others. People love me and my new hand after they hear my story.
