I did some research and, to my surprise, I learned that all animals communicate. They don’t use language, but they send messages (信息) to each other. Animals communicate with each other in three main ways: through sounds, smells, and body language. The alarm (警报) call is one way. When an enemy is near, animals send out a warning sound. Others hear it and run to a safe place, or get together to fight the enemy. Whales (鲸鱼) are famous for their talent to communicate from far away with special sounds. In their own social groups, whales understand what they’re saying to each other. Smell is another popular way for animals to communicate. Some animals such as the amoeba (变形虫) send out a smell to tell other amoebas it’s going to have babies. Skunks send out an odour when they feel they are in danger. Skunk Many animals use body language to communicate. Chimpanzees (黑猩猩) touch hands when they meet. A happy dog moves its tail from side to side. Even people understand this form of dog body language. People develop their own ways of communicating, using words and sentences. But if you watch other animals carefully, you quickly come to understand that they also have ways of sending their messages. 1.How does the writer start the topic? A. By listing numbers. B. By telling a story. C. By asking questions. D. By showing an old saying. 2.What do the underlined words “an odour” mean? A. A loud sound. B. A terrible smell. C. A bright colour. D. A special shape. 3.What does the writer want to show by giving us the example of dogs? A. Animals can communicate with sound. B. Animals can communicate with smell. C. Animals can communicate in three ways. D. Animals can communicate with body language. 4.What’s the structure (结构) of the text? (P1= Paragraph 1, P2=Paragraph 2,…) A. P1/P2/ P3 P4 P5 B. P1/P2 P3 P4/P5 C. /P1/P2 P3 /P4 P5 D. P1/P2 P3 P4 P5 5.What’s the best title for the text? A. How to Protect Animals B. How Animals Communicate C. Why Body Language Matters D. What Animals Can Communicate Passage 2 （25-26八上·四川广安第二中学校·期中） Do you get tired when climbing mountains? A special robot now can help you. At Mount Tai in Shandong Province, tourists can try exoskeleton robots. These amazing robots help them climb Mount Tai much more easily and quickly. The exoskeleton robot is light and weighs only 1.8 kg. Tourists can carry it easily. When they start climbing, they can wear it around the waist (腰部) and the top part of each leg. With the help of AI, the robot car senses the wearer’s movement. Every time they take a step, it helps to lift their legs so they won’t feel tired when climbing. Li Chengde, a 68-year-old tourist from Jinan, tried the robot when he climbed Mount Tai. “It worked really well. Once I put it on, my legs didn’t hurt (疼痛) anymore. It felt like someone was pulling me up the mountain,” he said. A worker at Mount Tai said the exoskeleton robots could help older tourists experience the mountain’s beauty firsthand. “Some old people want to see the sights along the way, but sitting in cable cars (缆车) makes it hard for them to enjoy the full scenery. With the help of these robots, they can truly experience the joy of climbing,” he added. Some young people are also interested in such exoskeleton robots, but the old need them more as there are millions of old people in our country. By the end of 2024, the population aged 60 and above in China was 310 million. This number is still growing. To better serve the old people’s needs, there will be more lightweight (轻量的) exoskeleton robots to help them with walking, running and climbing. 1.What is special about the exoskeleton robot? A. It helps tourists stay in good health. B. It makes climbing easier and faster. C. It tells tourists more about Mount Tai. D. It keeps tourists safe during the climb. 2.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. How the exoskeleton robot looks. B. How the exoskeleton robot gets popular. C. How tourists wear the exoskeleton robot. D. How the exoskeleton robot helps tourists. 3.What does Li Chengde think of the robot? A. It’s hard to carry. B. It’s useless at all. C. It’s a useful robot. D. It’s unsafe to use. 4.What can we learn from the passage? A. Old tourists like cable cars better. B. Exoskeleton robots are too heavy. C. Young people like the robots more. D. Old people may use the robots most. 5.Which can be the best title for the text? A. Exoskeleton robots: a great helper B. Old people’s love for climbing C. The future of exoskeleton robots D. Mount Tai: a popular place for tourists Passage 3 （25-26八上·四川广安友谊中学·期中）Everybody knows that cats like to sleep. They spend more than half their lives sleeping and enjoy every minute of it. Other animals have different sleeping habits, however. Horses may not look like they are asleep. But they are! Horses spend about six hours sleeping every day and they do it standing up! Fish also sleep every day, but they have a strange (奇怪的) habit. They don’t close their eyes when they are sleeping. When ducks sleep, they keep one eye open and half of the brain awake. It helps them stay alert (警觉的) and watch out for dangerous animals. So what about humans (人类)? Well, most people sleep for about a third of their lives. The number of hours you sleep, however, has to do with your age. Most newborn (新生的) babies sleep a lot. They spend about 75% of their time sleeping every day! As you get older, you need less sleep. Children need about eleven hours and adults sleep for eight hours every night. So, yes, you spend many hours a year doing nothing—sleeping in bed! But you’re not just asleep, you’re not really doing nothing. Your body and your mind relax during this time, but a lot of things happen during sleep. Dreams are one way that the mind relaxes after a busy day. A person spends about 20% of every night dreaming. That means you have about four or five dreams every night or about 1,600 dreams a year. 1.From the passage we know that a horse ________. A. sleeps with one eye open B. spends half of its life sleeping C. keeps standing up when sleeping D. doesn’t close its eyes when sleeping 2.According to the passage, how long do most newborn babies sleep one day? A. For about 12 hours. B. For about 14 hours. C. For about 16 hours. D. For about 18 hours. 3.What do dreams do for the mind? A. Make it work harder. B. Help it relax. C. Make it forget everything. D. Stop it from sleeping. 4.What is the best title of the passage? A. Sleeping animals. B. Ways to sleep well. C. Something to know about sleep. D. How to keep healthy. 5.Where does the passage probably come from? A. An art book. B. A science book. C. A sports book. D. A history book. Passage 4 （25-26八上·四川成都郫都区第一中学·期中） Sometimes when the rain falls hard and fast on you, it might hurt (疼) a little. But what happens when it hits (撞击) a mosquito? A 2012 study said when a raindrop falls on a mosquito, it’s like when a bus hits a person. What’s more, the little insect is hit by a raindrop about once every 20 seconds. But why don’t we see many dead mosquitoes after it rains? A mosquito is as big as a raindrop, but it is much lighter—0.002 g only. This saves its life in raindrop attacks (袭击). Because the mosquito is so light, when it is hit by a raindrop, it won’t experience a force (力量) that is strong enough to kill it. The study also found that when a mosquito is hit by a raindrop, the insect is pushed by the raindrop and falls together with it. But the mosquito doesn’t get wet easily because it is covered with hairs which keep off water. After dropping about 6 cm, it will roll off (滚离) the raindrop and fly away. However, this trick isn’t always successful. If the mosquito flies too low (低) when it is hit by the raindrop, it won’t have time to fly off. Then it will hit the ground and meet its death. 1.What keeps a mosquito safe in the rain? A. Its size. B. Its strength. C. Its weight. 2.Why doesn’t the mosquito get wet easily in the rain? A. Because it flies away easily. B. Because its hairs can keep off water. C. Because it can roll to get out of the rain. 3.What is the “trick” that the mosquito uses in the rain? A. It shakes its body fast enough to get water off. B. It drops with the raindrop and then rolls off it. C. It flies behind the raindrop and pushes it away. 4.When would it be dangerous for a mosquito in the rain? A. When it flies too close to the ground. B. When the rain falls too hard and too fast. C. When it is hit by raindrops too many times. 5.Where can we read this passage? A. In a news report. B. In a guide book. C. In a biology book. 主题语境03 人与自我-家庭、朋友与周围的人 （2026·四川内江第六中学·期中）Friends are important in our lives. We need to share happiness and sadness with our friends. Friends can learn from each other and help each other become better people. However, some people find it hard to make friends. Why? A new study shows that some people feel nervous when they meet people they aren’t familiar with. They are afraid to talk to strange people. But don’t worry. There are some ways to solve these problems. First, we should be brave enough to step outside our comfort zone (舒适圈). Second, we should accept some social invitations. Making friends online is not enough for most people to develop true friendships. Finally, we need to take action. As the old saying goes, “Actions speak louder than words.” We need to actively talk to others and try to meet people with similar interests. If you are shy, start by saying “hello” to others with a smile. You can also join some clubs you are interested in to make new friends. We should keep trying to make friends. It may be hard at first. But if we follow these steps and try to be brave, we can make good friends. 1.What can we do with the help of our friends according to the passage? ①Be better people. ②Become more and more popular. ③Go through happy and sad moments. ④Learn from their strengths.

To encourage people to make new friends bravely in their lives. C. To let people take part in more activities with friends. D. To ask people to spend more time making friends online. 主题语境04 人与自我-日常活动 Passage 1 （25-26八上·四川南充阆中中学·期中）Do teenagers in small villages do chores at home? How about the teenagers in big cities?

For over 100 million years, they have swum through Earth’s oceans. These ancient reptiles (爬行动物) can grow up to 1.5 meters long and live for 80 years or more. Every year, female sea turtles return to the same beaches where they were born to lay eggs. They dig holes in the sand and lay around 100 eggs at a time. After two months, baby turtles break out of their shells and rush to the ocean. But this journey is dangerous-many are eaten by birds or get lost because of bright lights from nearby buildings. Sadly, sea turtles face more problems today. Plastic pollution is a big threat (威胁). Turtles often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish (水母), their favorite food, and eating plastic can kill them. Also, fishing nets sometimes catch turtles by accident. Luckily, people are working to save them. In some countries, volunteers (志愿者) check beaches at night to protect nesting turtles. They also turn off beach lights to help baby turtles find the ocean. Many places have banned plastic bags, and fishermen use special nets that let turtles escape. Scientists say that if we keep helping, sea turtles will continue their long journeys for many more years. These gentle creatures remind us that we must care for our oceans. 1.How long can sea turtles live? A. For more than 50 years. B. For more than 80 years. C. For more than 100 years. D.

They clean the beaches in daytime. B. They carry baby turtles to the ocean. C. They turn off lights to guide baby turtles. D. They teach fishermen to catch more turtles. 5.Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the passage? A. The main reason for the danger to baby turtles is plastic pollution in the ocean. B. Female sea turtles lay their eggs on the same beaches where they were born. C. Special fishing nets are used because they are cheaper than normal nets. D. Sea turtles eat plastic bags because they look like a kind of dangerous fish. Passage 2 Polar Bears (北极熊) Let’s get to know the largest bears and learn how to save them!

People like plum blossoms because they stay strong even in difficult times. Artists started to paint plum blossoms 1,600 years ago. The orchid grows in mountains. It is named as the fourth of China’s “Ten Famous Flowers”. Because of their elegant postures (优雅的姿态) in the wind, they are praised as symbols of elegance in the hearts of the Chinese people. These flowers symbolize (象征) perseverance. The bamboo is thin but strong. It’s a symbol of tolerance (耐力) and open-mindedness. Su Shi once wrote down “Rather eat without meat than live without the bamboo” in his poem to show his love for the bamboo. Chinese people began growing chrysanthemums more than 3,000 years ago—the strength to get over life’s challenges.

Some play in class, leading to poor grades. 25% felt anxious (焦虑的) without phones, a sign of addiction (瘾). There’s also risk from online strangers. Experts suggest: Set limits (2 hours weekends, 1 hour weekdays); use “study mode” to block game alerts; use phones for meaningful things (online book clubs, video-calling faraway grandparents); get together with friends for sports instead of chatting online.

A large number of people take the test in order to find out the answer. They find the test helpful. The MBTI test puts people into 16 kinds, which start with the letter “I” or “E”, such as “ENTJ, INFP” or more. People can know what kind of person they are by taking the test. “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.” It can help people have a better understanding of their personality. A greater self-understanding can be helpful in daily life and for their interpersonal communication (人际交往), such as choosing a job or getting along with others. There are also some problems. Some people take the test more than one time and get different results. Some people find it difficult to answer some questions. For example, I like watching TV at home by myself, but I also enjoy going camping with my friends. It’s difficult to tell whether I am an “I” or an “E” person. “Personalities can change with time, and they are not black-or-white,” scientists say.

Scientists say dolphins and humans (人类) are similar in some ways. How? Talk Like humans, every dolphin has its own “name”, a special whistle (啸声). Each dolphin chooses a whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday. By using special sounds and body language, they “talk” to each other about a lot of things—such as their ages, their feelings, and possible dangers. Play Dolphins usually stay together. They live in groups, and they often join others from different groups to play games and have fun—just like humans. Scientists believe playing together is something only clever animals do. Teamwork Dolphins and humans are similar in another way: they both make plans for getting something they want. For example, dolphins use a smart way to get food. When there are fish near a boat, dolphins make a sound or an action to the fishermen to put their nets in the water. With the dolphins’ help, the men can catch a lot of fish. Why do dolphins do this? Because they can eat some fish that run out of the net. 1.How many ways are dolphins similar to humans according to the passage? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. 2.Where do dolphins get their “names”? A. From scientists. B. From themselves. C. From their mothers. 3.Why do dolphins sometimes help fishermen? A. Because the fishermen ask them for help. B. Because they can get some food in this way. C. Because they are very kind, just like humans. 4.In which part of the newspaper can we read the text? A. Clever Humans. B. Beautiful Nature. C. Amazing Animals. Passage 2 （25-26八上·四川射洪中学·期中）How much do you know about birds? Here are some Interesting facts. How do birds fly? Birds have one feature (特点) that tells them from all other animals: feathers (羽毛). These strong feathers, together with their light bodies, allow (允许) birds to fly with amazing skills and speed. Their special wings can be used in many different ways to control (控制) height and direction. Some birds fly high, while others stay low to the ground. Why do birds fly south in the winter? Birds move from one place to another for some reasons. Some areas in the world are only comfortable during the warmer months of the year. So when cold weather comes, birds fly to warmer areas. These trips can be as long as thousands of miles. In this way, they can find lots of food. ________ Bird families work together to build nests, and each bird has its own special job. Some birds are great at collecting things, while others are good at building. Once they started, every bird followed, and now they have a tradition. Younger birds watch and try to copy what the older ones do. This teamwork helps them learn the ways to build special nests. 1.What feature tells birds from all other animals? A. Light bodies. B. Flying skills. C. Special wings. D. Strong feathers. 2.What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. Birds always stay in the south. B. Birds fly north in the winter. C. The trips of birds are always short. D. Birds fly south to find much food in winter. 3.Which of the following sentences can be put in “________”? A. Can all birds fly? B. What do birds eat? C. How do birds build nests? D. How often do birds change their feathers? 4.What does the underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Birds. B. Nests. C. Jobs. D. Traditions. 5.Where can we find this passage? A.

Many people think of bats as scary living things that only come out at night, but in fact, they play important roles in our ecosystem. Bats are the only mammals that can truly fly. Their wings are made up of a thin skin which is stretched (伸展) between their long fingers. This unusual shape allows them to fly in a very special way. Unlike birds, bats can fly quickly and change ways easily. They can even fly backwards! There are more than 1,400 different kinds of bats in the world. Some are very small, about the size of a bee, while others can have wings of up to 1.5 meters. Bats live in almost every part of the world, except in very cold places. Most bats are nocturnal, which means they are active at night. During the day, they sleep in dark places such as caves or old buildings. When night comes, they wake up and go out to look for food. Different types of bats eat different things. Some bats love fruits. They help plants by spreading pollen and seeds, just like bees do. Other bats eat insects. A single bat can eat hundreds of insects in one night. This helps control the insect population and is good for our environment. However, bats are facing many problems today. The loss of their natural homes makes it hard for them to find places to live and food to eat. Also, some people are afraid of bats and try to kill them. But we should remember that bats are our friends. Protecting bats means protecting our ecosystem. 1.Why can bats fly in a very special way? A. Because their wings have unusual shapes. B. Because they are the only mammals that can truly fly. C. Because they can fly quickly and change ways easily. 2.What does the underlined word “nocturnal” mean in paragraph 4? A. 冬眠的 B. 夜行的 C. 群居的 3.What problems do bats face now? A. They can’t fly anymore. B. They don’t like to eat insects. C. They lose their natural homes. 4.What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. Some people kill bats mainly because they are bad for our ecosystem. B. Bats can live in almost every part of the world, especially in very cold places. C. Some fruit-loving bats and bees play similar roles in spreading pollen and seeds. 5.What’s the structure of the passage? A. ①②/③④/⑤ B. ①/②③④/⑤ C. ①②③/④/⑤ Passage 4 （25-26八上·四川成都青羊区实验中学·期中）Cockatoos are common birds in Australia. They are known for solving problems and learning from each other. They can open dustbin lids (垃圾箱盖) to find food inside. Scientists also found cockatoos knew how to drink from drinking fountains (喷泉式饮水器). Dr Barbara Klump, a scientist, once noticed a cockatoo drinking from a fountain. She thought someone left the water running by mistake. But after watching a video (视频), she realized the bird actually turned on the fountain by itself. Dr Klump and her team decided to study cockatoos. They marked 24 cockatoos and set up two cameras (照相机) near a drinking fountain the birds used often. During over 44 days, the cameras recorded 14 hours of video, showing 525 times when the birds used the fountain. The scientists found about 70% of the cockatoos in the area tried to use the fountain. Every bird did it a little differently, but they all used at least one foot to turn on the fountain. The cockatoos didn’t always succeed and they only got water in about 41% of their tries. They had an especially hard time when they were in a hurry or when other cockatoos were trying to use the fountain at the same time. The scientists aren’t exactly sure why cockatoos drink from drinking fountains. Maybe the clean water tastes better than the water from a river. Or maybe drinking from fountains makes cockatoos feel safer, as it helps them better watch for eagles. Dr Klump guessed cockatoos just like the fun of making the fountains work! Cockatoos seem to get used to city life easily. The scientists say they can’t wait to find out what skills the birds will learn next! 1.What does the first paragraph mainly talk about? A. Cockatoos’ abilities. B. Cockatoos’ living area. C. Cockatoos’ eating habits. 2.Which question does the second paragraph answer? A. Who left the water running by mistake? B. How did Dr Klump’s team study the cockatoos? C. When did Dr Klump get interested in cockatoos? 3.What did the result of the study show? A. The cockatoos often hurried to use the fountain. B. Half of the cockatoos got water from the fountain. C. Each cockatoo had its own way of using the fountain. 4.Which are the possible (可能的) reasons why cockatoos drink from drinking fountains? ① The water has a better taste. ② The activity brings them joy. ③ The activity keeps them safe. ④ The fountains are easier to use. A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ 5.What is the purpose (目的) of the text? A. To encourage us to protect cockatoos. B. To show that cockatoos are clever birds. C. To tell us to learn more about cockatoos. Passage 5 （25-26八上·四川成都第十八中学校·期中）If you look up in a forest, you may notice something really interesting: the tops of trees don’t actually touch each other. There are little gaps between them, and you can even see the sky through these breaks. This is called “crown shyness”. Meg Lowman, a tree expert, explains that it’s a tree’s way to stay healthy. Trees are always fighting with each other for sunlight and water. By keeping a certain gap from each other, they reduce (减少) the chance of losing leaves when they brush against neighbouring trees. Leaves are very important, as they help trees get sunlight and water. Also, just like we stay away from sick people, trees keep their leaves from touching other trees. This helps them keep away from harmful (有害的) insects and sickness and keep healthy. “Tree sickness can come from insects or even be the insects themselves,” Lowman says. Crown shyness mostly happens in tropical (热带的) trees, but the lessons are also true for other trees. Trees with more space grow bigger and stronger. Lowman says we should take good care of trees, just like we take care of a rose garden. Healthy trees make us feel cooler, and they clean water better. “The healthier the forest, the more benefits the owner will get,” says Lowman. “when a tree gets sick, don’t just cut it down. Trees support many living things like insects and birds,” the expert adds. So next time you see trees, remember: they teach us to be good neighbors. After all, sharing space wisely keeps everyone healthy, whether you’re a tree or a human! 1.What does paragraph one mainly talk about? A. The beauty of gaps in forests. B. What crown shyness means. C. How trees grow leaves in forests. 2.Why do the tops of trees keep away from each other? A. To let more sunlight reach the ground. B. To help trees get more rainwater. C. To protect leaves and stay healthy. 3.Which of the following is Not True? A. When a tree gets sick, just cut it down. B. Both trees and a rose garden need good care. C. Trees with more space grow bigger and stronger. 4.What does the underlined word “benefits” in paragraph 3 mean? A. money B. good things C. space 5.What lesson can we learn from the passage? A. Sharing space wisely benefits all. B. Competition is important for growth. C. Being alone all the time stops getting sick. Passage 6 （25-26八上·四川遂宁中学·期中） Many animals have tails. They use their tails to do many different things. Some animals use their tails as flyswatter (苍蝇拍). Have you ever seen a cow shake its tail back and forth? It’s driving away the flies. Horses also use their tails in the same way. Some animals hang by their tails. Monkeys often do this. Then they can use all four of their paws (爪子) for other things, such as eating. Monkeys use their tails as a “hanger”, which can help them hang in the trees and climb trees. Animals that live in the water use their tails to help them swim. A fish uses its tail from side to side. A kangaroo has a large, useful tail. It’s like a chair. The kangaroo stands on its tail to rest. It helps the kangaroo stand well, too. The tail is also good for landing. This is important because an adult kangaroo can jump as far as 15 feet at a time. A fox has a big tail. This is a good tail to have on cold nights. The fox can put its tail over its nose and paws while it is sleeping. The tail can keep the fox warm. Some animals don’t keep their tails with them all the time. If their enemies (敌人) catch them, their tails will break off. Don’t worry. They will soon grow a new tail. How amazing it is! 1.What kind of animals are mentioned in paragraph 1? A. The cow and the horse. B. The cow and the kangaroo. C. The horse and the fox. D. The kangaroo and the monkey. 2.A tail can help a kangaroo ________. A. rest and stand well B. keep warm on cold nights C. jump as high as they can D. hang in the trees 3.Why is a kangaroo’s tail good for landing? A. Because it can stop enemies catching the kangaroo. B. Because it is safe for the kangaroo’s baby. C. Because an adult kangaroo can jump as far as 15 feet at a time. D. Because it is used as a flyswatter. 4.Some animals break off their tails because ________. A. the tails seem to be amazing B. they will have new tails C. they can keep their tails well D. their enemies catch them 5.What is the best title of the passage? A. How do animals use their tails? B. Tails help animals to catch things. C. Animals are amazing! D. Different kinds of animals. Passage 7 （25-26八上·四川射洪金华中学·期中）What will you do when you feel upset? Hug a tree? Recently, many Chinese young people have turned to trees to help with their stress. Although it sounds strange, in fact, there’s a science behind the act of tree-hugging. Scientists say humans are born to love being around nature. Humans’ love for nature is “in our DNA”. This idea helps to explain why people like natural, green views better than city view WS. It’s also one of the reasons why people love cute pets. Some studies have looked into why hugging trees can help with our health. A study in 2021 reported that the activity can make more oxytocin which can help you feel happy. The higher it is, the quieter and happier you may be. When you hug a tree for only 21 seconds, your brain makes more oxytocin. Another thing called cortisol is a marker of stress. The brain makes more cortisol when the person is worried, angry, or very sad. Hugging trees helps cut down cortisol in your brain, which makes us less stressed out and feel calmer and relaxed. Although the activity is helpful to us, it’s important to keep in mind that we shouldn’t damage nature while doing it. Trees often hold many things that are good for the environment. Many small creatures (生物) live on the tree like spiders. They’re too small to notice. You’d better be nice and gentle when hugging trees—just like how you hug a friend! 1.Why do humans like natural views better than city views? A. Because natural views are more beautiful than city views. B. Because city views help to improve humans' health. C. Because humans naturally love being in nature. D. Because city views bring humans too much stress. 2.What can we know about oxytocin from the study in 2021? A. Oxytocin helps to lower our stress quickly. B. Cutting down oxytocin makes us feel happier. C. The more oxytocin we have, the happier we’ll be. D. We need to hug the tree for a long time to get oxytocin. 3.Who has more cortisol in the brain in the following situations? A. Amy who’s eating her favorite food. B. Bob who’s winning the football game. C. Cindy who’s hanging out with friends. D. Steve who’s arguing with his parents. 4.What does the underlined word “damage” in paragraph 5 mean? A. control B. develop C. hurt D. push 5.Why does the writer write this passage? A. To ask people to protect trees while hugging them. B. To explain why to hug trees and how to do it safely. C. To invite people to hug trees every day for better health. D. To show how oxytocin and cortisol change our feelings. Passage 8 （25-26八上·四川南充阆中中学·期中）Winter is hard for most animals, so some birds and animals travel south for the winter. The groundhog (土拨鼠), however, lives through winter in a different way. As soon as it feels the weather turning cold, it starts to dig a hole (挖洞) at least 1.5 metres deep (深). There it makes a comfortable home with leaves and grass. It spends the cold winter months in its bed under the ground and it won’t come out until spring. The groundhog doesn’t eat at all during the winter. Instead, it eats as much and as often as it can during the summer. As winter comes, the groundhog becomes so heavy that it can hardly move. When it wants to sleep, it goes back to the hole and falls into a deep sleep. Its breathing almost stops, its heartbeat (心跳) slows, and its body temperature falls to just above 0℃ during the sleep. When it gets up in spring, its weight is only half of that in autumn. By February or March, it’s ready to leave its hole. So years ago, people often waited for the first groundhog to go out of the hole. When it did, they knew spring was coming. There are some stories about it. One of them is about a groundhog called Phil. This animal could tell the weather. Phil went out of the hole and looked around every February 2nd. If he saw his shadow (影子), it meant that the winter would last for six more weeks. If the weather was cloudy and he didn’t see his shadow, it meant spring would be early. 1.What can we know about the groundhog’s winter home? A. It’s usually in trees. B. Its bed is 1.5 metres long. C. There are leaves and grass in it. 2.What will happen to the groundhog when it sleeps in winter? A. It starts to weigh less. B. It breathes more quickly. C. Its body temperature goes up. 3.Why did people expect the groundhog to come out in the past? A. Because it was the best time to catch it. B. Because it showed the winter was over. C. Because there was much food in its home. 4.Which of the following is the right order according to the passage? ①The groundhog sleeps in its bed under the ground. ②The groundhog leaves its hole next year. ③The groundhog digs a hole as its home. ④The groundhog eats as much and as often as it can. A. ①③④② B. ③④②① C. ④③①② 5.Which of the following words can best describe the groundhog? A. Lazy. B. Quiet. C. Smart. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史 （25-26八上·四川达州渠县中学·期中） Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people would think of Confucius (孔子), whose birthday was September 28. Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect him for his contribution (贡献) to the education today. Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn't give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports. Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime. Today, people still follow Confucius’ lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them.” He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled (困惑的). All thinking but no study makes people lazy.” Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners. “A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others.” he said. 1.Today we still remember Confucius mainly because _________.

The theme for this year’s gala is “Si Si Ru Yi, Sheng Sheng Bu Xi”, which carries deep cultural and symbolic meanings. In the Chinese lunar calendar (农历), each year gets a special name by pairing 10 “Tiangan” characters and 12 “Dizhi” characters. The year 2025 is the “Year of the Snake” and its special name is “Yi Si.” In the traditional Chinese timekeeping system, a day is divided (分割) into 12 parts, and each part is two hours long. The first part “Zi” is from 23:00 to 1:00, and “Si” is the sixth part of the day, when the sun is high in the sky. It’s a time when everything seems to wake up and come to life. By using “Si Si Ru Yi” as the theme, the 2025 Spring Festival Gala hoped to bring good wishes to every family and the nation. “Sheng Sheng Bu Xi” means that life goes on endlessly, symbolizing the endless energy and prosperity (繁荣) of China. The main logo is creative and meaningful. Its design (设计) uses the Oracle Bone Script (甲骨文) character “Si” as its creative part. The two “Si” characters mirror each other, making it look like “Yi” (乙) and “Si” (巳). ▲ , like a wish for double luck.

Studies show that spending too much time on the Internet may increase (增加) feelings of worry and nervousness. However, according to a new study, Internet use needs to be encouraged among old adults. Researchers looked at the effect of Internet use on the mental health of adults aged over 50. They collected data (数据) from nearly 90,000 people in 23 countries. Results show the use of Internet may boost old people’s mental health. People who used the Internet every day were found to be mentally healthier than those who used it less often. The research has another finding. ▲ For old people who did fewer social activities, they got stronger positive effects from using the Internet. This was also the same for people with disabilities. The Internet is becoming increasingly important to old adults. Researchers believe it can be an excellent place for them to learn, connect with others and search for information. It could be especially useful for those who attend few social events and who live outside towns and cities. Hopefully, findings from the study may help governments to solve the mental problems among old adults. 1.How will young people feel if they use the Internet too often? A. Tired and sleepy. B. Mad and impatient. C. Worried and nervous. D. Lonely and stressed out. 2.What does the underlined word “boost” mean in Paragraph 2? A. control. B. check. C. challenge.

Because it helps them to communicate with others. C. Because it allows them to live closer to towns and cities. D. Because it helps them to attend more social events in person. 5.Which may be the best title for the passage? A. Internet Solves Social Problems B. We Should Use the Internet Less C. The Internet and Our Body Health D. The Internet Is Good for Old People Passage 2 （25-26八上·四川德阳第二中学·期中）Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction. A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid (避免) getting lost. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert, so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest. Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area. Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet. However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals. 1.How can a certain kind of ants find their way? A. By imagining the way. B. By counting their steps. C. By bringing food together. D. By drawing a map. 2.According to the writer, how can humans help many birds find directions at night? A. We can help them find the earth’s magnetic field. B. We can help them make some smell maps. C. We can guide them along the way. D. We can turn off some lights at night. 3.What’s the structure of the text? A. ①/②③/④⑤ B. ①②/③④/⑤ C. ①/②③④/⑤ D. ①②③/④/⑤ 4.Where might you see the text? A. In a magazine about science. B. In a story book about fish. C. In the maths textbook. D. In an English dictionary. Passage 3 （25-26八上·四川达州渠县中学·期中）Is your schoolbag too heavy to carry? The e-schoolbag will help you. It is said that e-schoolbags are going to be brought into use in Chinese middle schools soon. In fact, the e-schoolbag should perhaps be called an e-textbook. It is a small computer for students. Heavy schoolbags have been a serious problem for them for a long time. But the e-schoolbag will change everything. It is much lighter than a usual schoolbag. Also it is as small as a usual book, but it can still hold all the things for study, such as a textbook, an exercise book and so on. They can be made into chips (芯片) that are as small as stamps. Students can read the text page by page on the screen (屏幕), take notes, or even send e-mails to their teachers. All they have to do is to put the right chip into the e-schoolbag and press a button (按下按钮). Some say that e-textbooks can be easily broken; some say they are not good for students’ eyes. In fact, only time will tell who is right. 1.An e-schoolbag is ________. A. as heavy as a usual schoolbag B. much heavier than a usual schoolbag C. much lighter than a usual schoolbag D. not so light as a usual schoolbag 2.An e-schoolbag is ________. A. a video chip B. a small computer C. a heavy bag D. a usual book 3.E-schoolbags are used for ________. A. fixing buttons B. making chips C. computer games D. school study 4.What CAN’T students do with e-schoolbag? A. Read the text page by page on the screen B. Take notes C. Play computer games D. Send e-mails to their teachers 5.The future of e-schoolbags will be ________. A. bright B. great C. bad D. unsure Passage 4 （25-26八上·四川自贡荣县中学·期中）When you sleep, can you know that you are dreaming? If yes, then you are having a lucid dream (清醒梦). It is hard for most people to know it. Only some people are able to know this. Now scientists have found ways to help more people to have lucid dreams, Live Science reported. Denholm Aspy from the University of Adelaide in Australia found that certain skills are key to helping people have lucid dreams. First, people train themselves to figure out (弄明白) whether they are dreaming or not. People can practice a way for this in real life. For example, someone may look at a clock, look away, and then look back. The time should stay the same. Then, they might dream about this situation while sleeping. But in their dreams, the time on the clock may change very quickly. So people know they are dreaming. Another way is to wake up after five hours of sleep. Then, stay awake for a while. During this time, repeat (重复) the words: “The next time I’m dreaming, I will remember that I’m dreaming.” Then, go to bed again to begin rapid eye movement (REM，快速眼球运动) sleep. In REM sleep, people can know their dreams. Scientists found that those who used these ways had a 17% success rate in having lucid dreams. This was far higher than if they did nothing.

Even famous people love them—Emma Roberts shared videos of her Labubus and said she “is crazy about them”. Fans post pictures of their Labubus online and even buy mini clothes to dress them up. Labubu was a character in a storybook series called The Monsters. A Hong Kong artist named Kasing Lung first drew it in 2015. In 2019, a toy company called Pop Mart turned it into a real toy. Now there are more than 300 designs of Labubu. Some wear fun clothes, and others are special designs (设计) made with big companies like Coca-Cola. People love Labubus because they look happy and playful, with big smiles and nine teeth. Since so many fans want them, Labubus have become super popular. Some rare versions (限量款) even sell for over $300 online. Labubus are usually sold in “blind boxes”, meaning buyers don’t know what colour or design they’re getting until they open the box. But actually finding a Labubu blind box to buy can be difficult. Pop Mart gets new Labubus every week. They put them online every Thursday, but they sell out very fast, sometimes in just a few seconds. If you want to buy them in stores, you need to go on Friday.

If a human or another animal close to them dies, would a cat feel sad? A team of researchers from Oakland University tried to answer the question. They interviewed 412 cat owners about their cats’ actions after another cat or dog in the family passed away. They found that cats showed actions related to sadness—such as eating and playing less after the death of a fellow (同类的) pet. Besides, some cats also spent more time alone and slept more after the death. All of these actions mean they may be in sadness. Jennifer Vonk, a member of the researchers, said, “It’s not that I want the cats to be sad. We just want to know if our pets would miss us when something bad happens to us.” Researchers didn’t see “big changes” in cats, but these changes mirrored similar changes we found in dogs before. It means dogs develop in a more social way than cats. Vonk added that cat owners who felt sadder themselves reported more sadness in their living cats, and this point might make a difference to the result. Therefore, more studies in this area would be necessary before we could draw any conclusions (结论). But Vonk, a cat owner herself, said that cats might experience sad feelings in ways that we didn’t know before. 1.How does the writer start the passage? A. By using numbers. B. By using a saying. C. By asking a question. 2.What may cats do if another animal close to them dies? ①They may eat less food. ②They may like to stay alone. ③They may eat more often. ④They may spend more time sleeping. A. ①②④ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ 3.Which blank can be filled in with the underlined word “mirrored”? A. Mat thinks a good friend is like a ________. B. The book clearly ________ the writer’s interests and hobbies. C. The river can ________ the mountains on a sunny day. 4.Which sentence is not true according to Jennifer Vonk? A. Cats might use different ways to show their sad feelings. B. The pet owners’ sadness makes no difference to their cats’ feelings. C. Some people want to know if their pets would feel sad when bad things happen to them. 5.In which part of the newspapers can we probably see the passage? A. Health and Fitness B. Home and Living C.

How do they communicate with others? I did some research and, to my surprise, I learned that all animals communicate. They don’t use language, but they send messages (信息) to each other. Animals communicate with each other in three main ways: through sounds, smells, and body language. The alarm (警报) call is one way. When an enemy is near, animals send out a warning sound. Others hear it and run to a safe place, or get together to fight the enemy. Whales (鲸鱼) are famous for their talent to communicate from far away with special sounds. In their own social groups, whales understand what they’re saying to each other. Smell is another popular way for animals to communicate. Some animals such as the amoeba (变形虫) send out a smell to tell other amoebas it’s going to have babies. Skunks send out an odour when they feel they are in danger. Skunk Many animals use body language to communicate. Chimpanzees (黑猩猩) touch hands when they meet. A happy dog moves its tail from side to side. Even people understand this form of dog body language. People develop their own ways of communicating, using words and sentences. But if you watch other animals carefully, you quickly come to understand that they also have ways of sending their messages. 1.How does the writer start the topic? A. By listing numbers. B. By telling a story. C. By asking questions. D. By showing an old saying. 2.What do the underlined words “an odour” mean? A. A loud sound. B. A terrible smell. C. A bright colour. D.

They spend more than half their lives sleeping and enjoy every minute of it. Other animals have different sleeping habits, however. Horses may not look like they are asleep. But they are! Horses spend about six hours sleeping every day and they do it standing up! Fish also sleep every day, but they have a strange (奇怪的) habit. They don’t close their eyes when they are sleeping. When ducks sleep, they keep one eye open and half of the brain awake. It helps them stay alert (警觉的) and watch out for dangerous animals. So what about humans (人类)? Well, most people sleep for about a third of their lives. The number of hours you sleep, however, has to do with your age. Most newborn (新生的) babies sleep a lot. They spend about 75% of their time sleeping every day! As you get older, you need less sleep. Children need about eleven hours and adults sleep for eight hours every night. So, yes, you spend many hours a year doing nothing—sleeping in bed! But you’re not just asleep, you’re not really doing nothing. Your body and your mind relax during this time, but a lot of things happen during sleep. Dreams are one way that the mind relaxes after a busy day. A person spends about 20% of every night dreaming. That means you have about four or five dreams every night or about 1,600 dreams a year. 1.From the passage we know that a horse ________. A. sleeps with one eye open B. spends half of its life sleeping C. keeps standing up when sleeping D. doesn’t close its eyes when sleeping 2.According to the passage, how long do most newborn babies sleep one day?

But what happens when it hits (撞击) a mosquito? A 2012 study said when a raindrop falls on a mosquito, it’s like when a bus hits a person. What’s more, the little insect is hit by a raindrop about once every 20 seconds. But why don’t we see many dead mosquitoes after it rains? A mosquito is as big as a raindrop, but it is much lighter—0.002 g only. This saves its life in raindrop attacks (袭击). Because the mosquito is so light, when it is hit by a raindrop, it won’t experience a force (力量) that is strong enough to kill it. The study also found that when a mosquito is hit by a raindrop, the insect is pushed by the raindrop and falls together with it. But the mosquito doesn’t get wet easily because it is covered with hairs which keep off water. After dropping about 6 cm, it will roll off (滚离) the raindrop and fly away. However, this trick isn’t always successful. If the mosquito flies too low (低) when it is hit by the raindrop, it won’t have time to fly off. Then it will hit the ground and meet its death. 1.What keeps a mosquito safe in the rain? A. Its size. B. Its strength. C. Its weight. 2.Why doesn’t the mosquito get wet easily in the rain? A. Because it flies away easily. B. Because its hairs can keep off water. C. Because it can roll to get out of the rain. 3.What is the “trick” that the mosquito uses in the rain? A. It shakes its body fast enough to get water off. B. It drops with the raindrop and then rolls off it. C. It flies behind the raindrop and pushes it away. 4.When would it be dangerous for a mosquito in the rain? A. When it flies too close to the ground. B. When the rain falls too hard and too fast. C. When it is hit by raindrops too many times. 5.Where can we read this passage? A. In a news report. B. In a guide book. C. In a biology book. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. B　4. A　5. C 【解析】【导语】 本文讲述了蚊子在雨中如何生存的有趣现象。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“A mosquito is as big as a raindrop, but it is much lighter—0.002 g only. This saves its life in raindrop attacks (袭击). Because the mosquito is so light, when it is hit by a raindrop, it won’t experience a force (力量) that is strong enough to kill it.”可知，蚊子很轻，当被雨滴击中时，它不会受到足以杀死它的力量，所以是重量让蚊子在雨中安全，故选C。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“But the mosquito doesn’t get wet easily because it is covered with hairs which keep off water.”可知，蚊子不容易湿是因为它身上覆盖着能挡水的毛发，故选B。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“The study also found that when a mosquito is hit by a raindrop, the insect is pushed by the raindrop and falls together with it…After dropping about 6 cm, it will roll off (滚离) the raindrop and fly away.”可知，蚊子被雨滴击中后，会和雨滴一起下落，然后从雨滴上滚离并飞走，这就是蚊子在雨中的“技巧”，故选B。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“If the mosquito flies too low (低) when it is hit by the raindrop, it won’t have time to fly off. Then it will hit the ground and meet its death.”可知，当蚊子飞得太低被雨滴击中时，它没有时间飞走，就会撞到地面死亡，所以当蚊子飞得离地面太近时，在雨中是危险的，故选A。 (5)题解析： 推理判断题。文章主要讲述了蚊子在雨中如何生存，涉及生物学方面的知识，所以可以在生物学书籍中读到这篇文章，故选C。 主题语境03 人与自我-家庭、朋友与周围的人 （2026·四川内江第六中学·期中）Friends are important in our lives. We need to share happiness and sadness with our friends. Friends can learn from each other and help each other become better people. However, some people find it hard to make friends. Why?

If you are shy, start by saying “hello” to others with a smile. You can also join some clubs you are interested in to make new friends. We should keep trying to make friends. It may be hard at first.

For over 100 million years, they have swum through Earth’s oceans. These ancient reptiles (爬行动物) can grow up to 1.5 meters long and live for 80 years or more. Every year, female sea turtles return to the same beaches where they were born to lay eggs. They dig holes in the sand and lay around 100 eggs at a time. After two months, baby turtles break out of their shells and rush to the ocean. But this journey is dangerous-many are eaten by birds or get lost because of bright lights from nearby buildings. Sadly, sea turtles face more problems today. Plastic pollution is a big threat (威胁). Turtles often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish (水母), their favorite food, and eating plastic can kill them. Also, fishing nets sometimes catch turtles by accident. Luckily, people are working to save them. In some countries, volunteers (志愿者) check beaches at night to protect nesting turtles. They also turn off beach lights to help baby turtles find the ocean. Many places have banned plastic bags, and fishermen use special nets that let turtles escape. Scientists say that if we keep helping, sea turtles will continue their long journeys for many more years. These gentle creatures remind us that we must care for our oceans. 1.How long can sea turtles live? A. For more than 50 years. B. For more than 80 years. C. For more than 100 years. D.

The orchid grows in mountains. It is named as the fourth of China’s “Ten Famous Flowers”. Because of their elegant postures (优雅的姿态) in the wind, they are praised as symbols of elegance in the hearts of the Chinese people. These flowers symbolize (象征) perseverance. The bamboo is thin but strong. It’s a symbol of tolerance (耐力) and open-mindedness. Su Shi once wrote down “Rather eat without meat than live without the bamboo” in his poem to show his love for the bamboo.

About 70% use phones for study—looking up words or watching educational videos. Besides these, 60% use them for entertainment, like games or short videos. Time spent on phones is worrying. On average, students use phones for 3.5 hours a day on weekends—almost as long as study time. On weekdays, it’s 1.8 hours, but 15% check phones over 20 times in class. This distraction hurts their focus. Uncontrolled use causes problems. Over 40% missed meals or stayed up late for games. Some play in class, leading to poor grades. 25% felt anxious (焦虑的) without phones, a sign of addiction (瘾). There’s also risk from online strangers. Experts suggest: Set limits (2 hours weekends, 1 hour weekdays); use “study mode” to block game alerts; use phones for meaningful things (online book clubs, video-calling faraway grandparents); get together with friends for sports instead of chatting online. Phones are not “nothing but” toys. Used well, they’re fantastic tools. The key is staying in control. 1.How much time do students spend on phones on weekends on average? A. 1 hour. B. 1.8 hours.

Many people are becoming more interested in it now. “Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?” “I” means introverted (内向的) while “E” means extroverted. A large number of people take the test in order to find out the answer. They find the test helpful. The MBTI test puts people into 16 kinds, which start with the letter “I” or “E”, such as “ENTJ, INFP” or more. People can know what kind of person they are by taking the test. “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.” It can help people have a better understanding of their personality. A greater self-understanding can be helpful in daily life and for their interpersonal communication (人际交往), such as choosing a job or getting along with others. There are also some problems. Some people take the test more than one time and get different results. Some people find it difficult to answer some questions. For example, I like watching TV at home by myself, but I also enjoy going camping with my friends. It’s difficult to tell whether I am an “I” or an “E” person. “Personalities can change with time, and they are not black-or-white,” scientists say. You may be introverted now but become more extroverted when you get older. Or you can be both an “I” and an “E” person. You can be anyone you want to be! 1.What can people use MBTI for? ①Choosing a job. ②Fighting with others. ③Making friends with others. ④Understanding themselves better. A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①③④ 2.Why does the writer give the example of “watching TV at home” and “going camping with friends”? A. To show that watching TV is more interesting than going camping. B. To explain why some people find it hard to answer MBTI questions. C. To show that camping is a good activity for those outgoing people. D. To tell readers how to get a correct MBTI result. 3.What does the underlined phrase “black-or-white” mean in the last paragraph? A. Having only two opposite possibilities. B. Having two completely different colors. C. Being easy to understand the differences. D. Changing colors very quickly. 4.According to the text, what would scientists most likely to agree with? A. “Personalities are fixed and cannot be changed by your experiences.” B. “Your MBTI result from today will still be the same in 10 years.” C. “You might be introverted now but be more extroverted later in life.” D. “It’s impossible for a person to have both introverted and extroverted personalities.” 【答案】1. D　2. B　3. A　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文主要围绕 MBTI 性格测试展开，介绍了测试中“I”（内向）和“E”（外向）的含义，说明该测试对人们了解自身性格、助力日常生活与人际交往的作用，同时指出性格会随时间变化且并非非黑即白。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“It can help people have a better understanding of their personality. A greater self-understanding can be helpful in daily life and for interpersonal communication (人际交往), such as choosing a job or getting along with others.”可知，MBTI测试能帮助人们更好了解自己、选择工作、与他人相处，结交好朋友属于与他人相处的范畴。故选D。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“For example, I like watching TV at home by myself, but I also enjoy going camping with my friends. It’s difficult to tell whether I am an ‘I’ or an ‘E’ person.”可知，作者举“在家看电视”和“跟朋友去露营”的例子，是为了说明有些人既喜欢独处，又喜欢社交活动，因此在回答“自己到底是内向还是外向”时会觉得难以选择。这正说明“为什么有些人觉得 MBTI 的问题不容易回答”。故选B。 (3)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据“Personalities can change with time, and they are not black-or-white”可知，“黑白分明”在文中指“只有两种相对的可能性”，即要么是这样，要么是那样，没有中间状态，故选A。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据“You may be introverted now but become more extroverted when you get older. Or you can be both an ‘I’ and an ‘E’ person. You can be anyone you want to be!”可知，文中科学家认为“性格会随着时间改变”可能现在是内向型，将来会更外向，也可能同时兼具内向和外向的特点，因此“你现在也许是内向，但将来更可能变外向”最符合文意。故选C。 Passage 2 （25-26八上·四川资阳安岳中学·期中）S, M, P and C stand for different people who have different personalities.

So a few days ago, I got a Peking duck burger with a drink. ③When I got my food, I loved the packaging (包装). The paper bag and boxes came in red, white and blue colors. They also had the words “Made in China” on them. The burger is pretty good. It has the Peking duck meat with some cucumber, lettuce and plum sauce. I really like their freshly made bread. It’s better than the bread from other brands. Although the Chinese bread used was not perfect, the China Burger gave people a more Chinese taste. It opens the door for me to try more different burgers.

A Tastien customer spends just 19 yuan on every meal, far less than that spent at McDonald’s and KFC. And these “Chinese burgers” are often on sale for as little as 7 yuan. ⑤The popularity also has something to do with a growing sense of national pride among Chinese consumers.

Many people think of bats as scary living things that only come out at night, but in fact, they play important roles in our ecosystem. Bats are the only mammals that can truly fly. Their wings are made up of a thin skin which is stretched (伸展) between their long fingers. This unusual shape allows them to fly in a very special way. Unlike birds, bats can fly quickly and change ways easily. They can even fly backwards! There are more than 1,400 different kinds of bats in the world. Some are very small, about the size of a bee, while others can have wings of up to 1.5 meters. Bats live in almost every part of the world, except in very cold places. Most bats are nocturnal, which means they are active at night. During the day, they sleep in dark places such as caves or old buildings. When night comes, they wake up and go out to look for food. Different types of bats eat different things. Some bats love fruits. They help plants by spreading pollen and seeds, just like bees do. Other bats eat insects. A single bat can eat hundreds of insects in one night. This helps control the insect population and is good for our environment. However, bats are facing many problems today. The loss of their natural homes makes it hard for them to find places to live and food to eat. Also, some people are afraid of bats and try to kill them. But we should remember that bats are our friends. Protecting bats means protecting our ecosystem. 1.Why can bats fly in a very special way? A. Because their wings have unusual shapes. B. Because they are the only mammals that can truly fly. C. Because they can fly quickly and change ways easily. 2.What does the underlined word “nocturnal” mean in paragraph 4? A. 冬眠的 B. 夜行的 C. 群居的 3.What problems do bats face now? A. They can’t fly anymore. B. They don’t like to eat insects. C. They lose their natural homes. 4.What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. Some people kill bats mainly because they are bad for our ecosystem. B. Bats can live in almost every part of the world, especially in very cold places. C. Some fruit-loving bats and bees play similar roles in spreading pollen and seeds. 5.What’s the structure of the passage? A. ①②/③④/⑤ B. ①/②③④/⑤ C. ①②③/④/⑤ 【答案】1. A　2. B　3. C　4. C　5. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了蝙蝠的飞行特点、种类、习性及生态作用，指出其面临的生存问题，强调保护蝙蝠对生态系统的重要性。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“Their wings are made up of a thin skin which is stretched between their long fingers.

They are known for solving problems and learning from each other. They can open dustbin lids (垃圾箱盖) to find food inside. Scientists also found cockatoos knew how to drink from drinking fountains (喷泉式饮水器). Dr Barbara Klump, a scientist, once noticed a cockatoo drinking from a fountain. She thought someone left the water running by mistake. But after watching a video (视频), she realized the bird actually turned on the fountain by itself. Dr Klump and her team decided to study cockatoos. They marked 24 cockatoos and set up two cameras (照相机) near a drinking fountain the birds used often. During over 44 days, the cameras recorded 14 hours of video, showing 525 times when the birds used the fountain. The scientists found about 70% of the cockatoos in the area tried to use the fountain. Every bird did it a little differently, but they all used at least one foot to turn on the fountain. The cockatoos didn’t always succeed and they only got water in about 41% of their tries. They had an especially hard time when they were in a hurry or when other cockatoos were trying to use the fountain at the same time. The scientists aren’t exactly sure why cockatoos drink from drinking fountains. Maybe the clean water tastes better than the water from a river. Or maybe drinking from fountains makes cockatoos feel safer, as it helps them better watch for eagles. Dr Klump guessed cockatoos just like the fun of making the fountains work!

There are little gaps between them, and you can even see the sky through these breaks. This is called “crown shyness”. Meg Lowman, a tree expert, explains that it’s a tree’s way to stay healthy. Trees are always fighting with each other for sunlight and water. By keeping a certain gap from each other, they reduce (减少) the chance of losing leaves when they brush against neighbouring trees. Leaves are very important, as they help trees get sunlight and water. Also, just like we stay away from sick people, trees keep their leaves from touching other trees. This helps them keep away from harmful (有害的) insects and sickness and keep healthy. “Tree sickness can come from insects or even be the insects themselves,” Lowman says. Crown shyness mostly happens in tropical (热带的) trees, but the lessons are also true for other trees. Trees with more space grow bigger and stronger. Lowman says we should take good care of trees, just like we take care of a rose garden. Healthy trees make us feel cooler, and they clean water better. “The healthier the forest, the more benefits the owner will get,” says Lowman. “when a tree gets sick, don’t just cut it down. Trees support many living things like insects and birds,” the expert adds. So next time you see trees, remember: they teach us to be good neighbors. After all, sharing space wisely keeps everyone healthy, whether you’re a tree or a human! 1.What does paragraph one mainly talk about? A. The beauty of gaps in forests. B. What crown shyness means. C. How trees grow leaves in forests. 2.Why do the tops of trees keep away from each other? A. To let more sunlight reach the ground. B. To help trees get more rainwater. C. To protect leaves and stay healthy. 3.Which of the following is Not True? A. When a tree gets sick, just cut it down. B. Both trees and a rose garden need good care. C. Trees with more space grow bigger and stronger. 4.What does the underlined word “benefits” in paragraph 3 mean? A. money B. good things C. space 5.What lesson can we learn from the passage? A.

Hug a tree? Recently, many Chinese young people have turned to trees to help with their stress. Although it sounds strange, in fact, there’s a science behind the act of tree-hugging. Scientists say humans are born to love being around nature. Humans’ love for nature is “in our DNA”. This idea helps to explain why people like natural, green views better than city view WS. It’s also one of the reasons why people love cute pets. Some studies have looked into why hugging trees can help with our health. A study in 2021 reported that the activity can make more oxytocin which can help you feel happy. The higher it is, the quieter and happier you may be. When you hug a tree for only 21 seconds, your brain makes more oxytocin. Another thing called cortisol is a marker of stress. The brain makes more cortisol when the person is worried, angry, or very sad. Hugging trees helps cut down cortisol in your brain, which makes us less stressed out and feel calmer and relaxed. Although the activity is helpful to us, it’s important to keep in mind that we shouldn’t damage $
