A large number of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful “castles”. They share DIY experience with their friends. More and more people have found the joy of DIY.

They are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular. DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture (家具) which people need to put together themselves with a few basic tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can’t understand the instructions (说明书). Sometimes the instructions are simple and clear, but the furniture itself is difficult to build. DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical should be done by a professional (专业的) worker. Unluckily, many people don’t care about this warning and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in the UK, including 41,000 who fell off ladders.

While some parents think children should learn useful things, so they teach their children to do chores by themselves early. A study shows that learning to do chores at an early age is good for children’s growth. Here are some benefits (益处) that helping out with chores brings to children. Doing chores teaches children life skills. Children are young now, so parents do many things for them. But they will need to do many hard things by themselves one day. They should learn some life skills as early as possible. Doing chores like cooking and watering plants can help them become independent (独立的) and teach them how to solve problems. Doing chores also helps children learn to respect others’ work. If they are asked to clean the house, they might know better about the mess they make. They will respect others’ work more and keep the home clean and tidy. Doing chores helps children manage time well. There are a lot of things to do every day, and it’s hard to fit them all in. They may have some problems when doing them. By doing housework, they can calm down and think clearly.

Passage 3 （25-26八上·贵州遵义桐梓县·期中）Moo Deng is a baby pygmy hippo (河马). It is similar to a large hippo. But a pygmy hippo is much smaller. Moo Deng lives at Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand. She was born in July. Her name means “bouncy pork”. Her cheeks are pink. Her belly jiggles as she runs around her pen (棚). She nibbles on people’s knees. She is also an Internet superstar. Every move she makes is closely watched—whether she’s being sprayed with water, being carried by zookeepers, or simply lying on the ground. Why is Moo Deng so well-loved? Scientists say it is because humans are born to like cute babies, even baby hippos! Many baby animals usually have specific looks. They have big eyes and large foreheads. They have chubby bodies. These things make baby animals look innocent. That makes people want to protect them. Konrad Lorenz was a zoologist from Austria. He was the first one to think of this idea. He talked about it in 1943. He explained that cuteness makes babies hard to ignore. This is important for babies. They cannot live on their own. They need adults to look after them. Cuteness touches people’s hearts. When we see a cute baby, we want to cuddle (搂抱) it. We want to take care of it. This is how people feel when they see Moo Deng. Pygmy hippos are in trouble. People hunt them, and the forests they live in are being cut down. Today, there are only about 2,000 pygmy hippos living in the wild. They might disappear forever. But Moo Deng’s fame might help. People love Moo Deng. Hopefully they will learn to care about all pygmy hippos. 1.We can learn from Paragraph 1 that ________. A. Moo Deng is a large hippo B. Moo Deng is unfriendly to people C.

Passage 4 （25-26八上·贵州安顺关岭·期中）The story of the fig (无花果) goes back a very long time. Many people think that the fig tree was the first plant ever grown by people for food. People grew them in the Middle East at least 11,000 years ago. Now we can find figs in warm countries all around the world. Turkey, a small country in the sunny south of Europe (欧洲), grows more figs than any other country in the world. In rain forests, the fig tree gives food and a home to all kinds of animals. Figs were useful to the people of ancient times. In ancient Greece, another country in Europe, figs were so precious (珍贵的) that people couldn’t sell them to other countries. Back then in Greece, there was no sugar, so people used sweet figs to make cooked fruits and food taste better. Figs can be black, green, purple or white, and all of them are delicious Fresh figs break easily, so people often dry them, to make them easier to keep and carry around.

Passage 2 （25-26八上·贵州黔南州·期中） A robot called Mobile ALOHA caught the eyes of many people because of a video on the Internet. There,it was cooking at someone’s home. Scientists at Stanford University developed the robot and it can do different kinds of housework, like watering plants, petting cats, cleaning the floor, and washing clothes. It even knows how to shake the pillow (抖枕头) after putting it into a pillow cover. As the saying goes,“Every coin has two sides.” In another video, Mobile ALOHA carelessly breaks the glasses and plates, runs into a table, and even burns (烧焦) a pot. The idea of having a robot as a servant may just be wishful thinking. Scientists keep working on this problem. Now the robot can move chairs right 80% of the time. For cooking dishes, it’s only 40%. That’s because Mobile ALOHA doesn’t have self-learning abilities. Instead, it always learns from people first before doing each kind of housework. When something changes, it can’t work well and may easily make trouble. Scientists say that such AI robots can do better in difficult things, such as working out maths problems and playing chess. When it comes to easy chores like cleaning, they face difficulties and sometimes act worse than a one-year-old child! It’s the same for Mobile ALOHA. “There is always room to improve,” Stanford team said. “Before robots can do all chores well, let’s enjoy the moments when families roll up their sleeves (卷起袖子) and work together.” 1.Which of the following is TRUE? A. Mobile ALOHA can do all housework well. B. Mobile ALOHA can water plants and clean the floor. C. Mobile ALOHA can cook dishes right 80% of the time. 2.What does the underlined sentence mean in Chinese? A. 凡事有利有弊。 B. 不劳则无获。 C. 实践出真知。 3.The Stanford team feels ________ for the future of Mobile ALOHA. A. worried B. hopeful C. interested 4.Which is the correct structure (结构) of the text? A. B. C. 主题语境02 人与自我-健康 （25-26八上·贵州毕节织金县思源实验学校·期中）Healthy eating doesn’t just mean what you eat, but how you eat. Here is some advice on healthy eating. Eat with others. It can help you to see others’ healthy eating habits. If you usually eat with your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious. Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry. Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty—sometimes you are just thirsty, and you need no food. Stop eating before you feel full. Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Because you don’t eat for the past ten hours, your body needs food to get you going. You will be smarter after eating breakfast. Eat healthy snacks like fruits, yogurt (酸奶) or cheese. We all need snacks sometimes. In fact, it’s a good idea to eat two healthy snacks between your three meals. This doesn’t mean that you can eat a bag of chips instead of a meal. Don’t eat dinner late. In our busy life, we always put off eating dinner until the last minute. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest (消化) most of the food before you rest for the next 8—10 hours. 1.The writer gives us ________ pieces of advice on healthy eating.

It is similar to a large hippo. But a pygmy hippo is much smaller. Moo Deng lives at Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand. She was born in July. Her name means “bouncy pork”. Her cheeks are pink. Her belly jiggles as she runs around her pen (棚). She nibbles on people’s knees. She is also an Internet superstar. Every move she makes is closely watched—whether she’s being sprayed with water, being carried by zookeepers, or simply lying on the ground. Why is Moo Deng so well-loved? Scientists say it is because humans are born to like cute babies, even baby hippos! Many baby animals usually have specific looks. They have big eyes and large foreheads. They have chubby bodies. These things make baby animals look innocent. That makes people want to protect them. Konrad Lorenz was a zoologist from Austria. He was the first one to think of this idea. He talked about it in 1943. He explained that cuteness makes babies hard to ignore. This is important for babies. They cannot live on their own. They need adults to look after them. Cuteness touches people’s hearts. When we see a cute baby, we want to cuddle (搂抱) it. We want to take care of it. This is how people feel when they see Moo Deng. Pygmy hippos are in trouble. People hunt them, and the forests they live in are being cut down. Today, there are only about 2,000 pygmy hippos living in the wild. They might disappear forever. But Moo Deng’s fame might help. People love Moo Deng. Hopefully they will learn to care about all pygmy hippos. 1.We can learn from Paragraph 1 that ________. A. Moo Deng is a large hippo B. Moo Deng is unfriendly to people C.

It makes her hard to live in the zoo. 4.Why does the writer write this passage? A. To talk about zoo rules. B. To ask people to protect pygmy hippos. C. To teach how to take care of baby hippos. 【答案】1. C　2. A　3. B　4.

People love Moo Deng. Hopefully they will learn to care about all pygmy hippos.”以及前文提到的野生倭河马处于困境可知，她的走红可能有助于帮助野生倭河马。 (4)题解析： 文章虽然介绍了Moo Deng的可爱，但落脚点在于最后一段提到的野生倭河马濒临灭绝的现状，以及希望人们通过喜爱Moo Deng进而关心保护整个物种。因此作者的写作目的是呼吁人们保护倭河马。 Passage 4 （25-26八上·贵州安顺关岭·期中）The story of the fig (无花果) goes back a very long time. Many people think that the fig tree was the first plant ever grown by people for food. People grew them in the Middle East at least 11,000 years ago. Now we can find figs in warm countries all around the world. Turkey, a small country in the sunny south of Europe (欧洲), grows more figs than any other country in the world. In rain forests, the fig tree gives food and a home to all kinds of animals. Figs were useful to the people of ancient times. In ancient Greece, another country in Europe, figs were so precious (珍贵的) that people couldn’t sell them to other countries. Back then in Greece, there was no sugar, so people used sweet figs to make cooked fruits and food taste better. Figs can be black, green, purple or white, and all of them are delicious Fresh figs break easily, so people often dry them, to make them easier to keep and carry around. Fresh figs are full of healthy vitamins (维生素) and dried figs have even more good things. So why not eat figs? Your body will thank you a lot. 1.Why does Turkey grow more fig trees than any other country? A. It is a warm country. B. People there planted figs first. C.

There,it was cooking at someone’s home. Scientists at Stanford University developed the robot and it can do different kinds of housework, like watering plants, petting cats, cleaning the floor, and washing clothes. It even knows how to shake the pillow (抖枕头) after putting it into a pillow cover. As the saying goes,“Every coin has two sides.” In another video, Mobile ALOHA carelessly breaks the glasses and plates, runs into a table, and even burns (烧焦) a pot. The idea of having a robot as a servant may just be wishful thinking. Scientists keep working on this problem. Now the robot can move chairs right 80% of the time. For cooking dishes, it’s only 40%. That’s because Mobile ALOHA doesn’t have self-learning abilities. Instead, it always learns from people first before doing each kind of housework. When something changes, it can’t work well and may easily make trouble. Scientists say that such AI robots can do better in difficult things, such as working out maths problems and playing chess. When it comes to easy chores like cleaning, they face difficulties and sometimes act worse than a one-year-old child! It’s the same for Mobile ALOHA. “There is always room to improve,” Stanford team said. “Before robots can do all chores well, let’s enjoy the moments when families roll up their sleeves (卷起袖子) and work together.” 1.Which of the following is TRUE? A. Mobile ALOHA can do all housework well. B. Mobile ALOHA can water plants and clean the floor. C. Mobile ALOHA can cook dishes right 80% of the time. 2.What does the underlined sentence mean in Chinese? A. 凡事有利有弊。 B. 不劳则无获。 C. 实践出真知。 3.The Stanford team feels ________ for the future of Mobile ALOHA. A. worried B. hopeful C. interested 4.Which is the correct structure (结构) of the text? A. B. C. 【答案】1. B　2. A　3. B　4. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了斯坦福大学研发的机器人Mobile ALOHA，它能做多种家务但也存在失误，科学家正改进它，同时指出这类AI机器人在复杂任务和简单家务上的表现差异，最后表达了对其未来改进的期待。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“Scientists at Stanford University developed the robot and it can do different kinds of housework, like watering plants, petting cats, cleaning the floor, and washing clothes.”可知，它能浇花、扫地。故选B。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。第二段介绍了机器人Mobile ALOHA能做浇花、扫地等多种家务 (优点)，而第三段“In another video, Mobile ALOHA carelessly breaks the glasses and plates, runs into a table, and even burns a pot.”可知，下文描述它会打碎玻璃杯、烧焦锅等失误 (缺点)；因此，“Every coin has two sides.”恰好衔接了“优点——缺点”的逻辑，用“凡事有利有弊”来解释最贴合上下文语境。故选A。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘There is always room to improve,’ Stanford team said.”可知，团队认为机器人有改进空间，对其未来是充满希望的。故选B。 (4)题解析： 篇章结构题。综合全文可知，P₁：总述机器人Mobile ALOHA因视频走红；P₂：介绍它能做的家务 (优点)；P₃：说明它的失误及技术局限 (缺点)；P₄：总述其未来有改进空间；因此，本文的结构为“总——分——总”。故选A。 主题语境02 人与自我-健康 （25-26八上·贵州毕节织金县思源实验学校·期中）Healthy eating doesn’t just mean what you eat, but how you eat.

No. We live with plants, animals and some other living things that we can’t even see. Here we are going to talk about ants. They are tiny but amazing! Ants live together in big groups. Each group has a queen (蚁后), worker ants and guard ants (守卫蚁). The queen lays eggs. Worker ants find food and feed baby ants. Guard ants protect the group. Ants are very strong. They can lift things 50 times as heavy as their own weight. Just like a child lifting a car. How strong ants are! They work together to build their caves, and protect their family members. Ants help nature, too. They also help to break down (分解) dead plants and animals. This makes the soil (土壤) soft and helps trees, grass and other plants in nature grow well. Ants are also famous for their clever use of natural tools. For example, they drop pieces of leaves into water like boats. Then the ants carry them back to their homes. Ants are fascinating insects because they play an important role in our world, but some of them are in danger. So we should try our best to protect them. 1.How does the writer start the passage? A.
