Try a few of these ways to talk to people in your class and play with them outside school. Before you know it, you’ll have a group of friends to have fun with every day! ■ Be friendly. Using right body language will help—stand up straight, make eye contact with people, and smile! Try to avoid crossing your arms over your chest and looking closed off. That doesn’t seem nice. The more open and friendly you look, the more people will want to get to know you. ■ Sit at a new table during lunchtime. Look for tables with an open seat. If you’re feeling a little shy, pick a table that only has one or two people sitting down. Head over and ask if you can sit there, and then join in the talk. If you like the people you sit with, ask if you can join them again the next day. ■ Try out for a sports team. Pick a sport that you like (it could be soccer, basketball, softball, baseball or anything), and try out for the team. Over time, you could become good friends with other people on your team! If your school doesn't have a sports team, try looking for one at your local community centre. ■    Join an after-school club. Meet friends who hold the same interest as you. Ask a teacher or your parents for a list of after-school activities and pick 1 or 2 of them that you're the most excited about. Introduce yourself to everyone when you have your first club meeting to meet new people and start a fun talk. 1．The underlined word “avoid” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”. A．do something more often B．try not to do something C．keep doing something D．learn to do something 2．Put the pictures in the blanks in the correct order. A．acdb B．cdab C．badc D．cadb 3．This passage is mainly about ________. A．how to talk to a strange person B．how to make friends C．how to start a talk D．how to choose friends 4．This passage is most probably written for ________. A．school students B．school teachers C．younger parents D．older parents 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．A 【解析】本文是说明文，针对在校学生交友难的问题，介绍了四种实用的交友方法，分别是保持友好、午餐时坐新座位、参加运动队、加入课后俱乐部，帮助学生顺利交到朋友。 1．根据第二段“Try to avoid crossing your arms over your chest and looking closed off. That doesn’t seem nice. The more open and friendly you look, the more people will want to get to know you.” 可知，前文建议人们展现开放友好的肢体语言，而抱胸、显得封闭是不友好的、应当尽量不去做的行为，由此可知avoid的含义是“尽量不做某事”。 2．根据第二段“Be friendly.”，该交友方法围绕友好待人、正确的交流肢体语言展开，对应展现两人面对面互动交流场景的图c；根据第三段“Sit at a new table during lunchtime.”，该方法围绕午餐时找新座位就餐交友展开，对应展现三人围坐桌旁就餐场景的图a；根据第四段“Try out for a sports team.”，该方法围绕参加体育运动队交友展开，对应展现两人进行球类运动场景的图d；根据第五段“Join an after-school club.”，该方法围绕加入课后兴趣俱乐部交友展开，对应展现两人进行绘画兴趣活动场景的图b。因此图片正确顺序为cadb。 3．根据第一段“Making friends at school can be a little hard—but it doesn’t have to be! Try a few of these ways to talk to people in your class and play with them outside school.” 可知，全文围绕交友方法展开，核心内容是介绍如何交朋友。 4．根据第一段“Making friends at school can be a little hard”“talk to people in your class”，以及文中提到的“your school”“Ask a teacher”等内容，可知文章是面向在校学生给出的交友建议，因此目标读者是在校学生。 话题2 互联网在生活中的作用 （26-27八年级上·全国·单元测试）The Internet has become an essential part of our daily life.

Instead, they believe that learning never stops and that there’s always something new to discover. Because they keep learning, they contribute a lot to the groups they’re part of, whether it’s at school, in clubs, or even with family and friends. They share fresh ideas and help others grow too. But what exactly makes them stand out? Here are some key characteristics: ② They are knowledge seekers. If they’re interested in a topic, they’ll dig deep to learn more. They don’t just stick to one book or website—they search everywhere for information. They also look for new experiences, like workshops or hands-on activities, to improve their skills. ③ They are social and self-directed learners. They like taking different courses and taking part in discussions about subjects they are interested in. They learn from and with others. They also know their own learning styles. They can plan and organize their own learning. ④ They are critical (批判性的) thinkers. Lifelong learners don’t just accept information blindly. They ask questions, check facts, and use different methods to analyze information. For example, if they’re researching a topic, they’ll compare sources to make sure the information is accurate and useful. ⑤ They are problem solvers. Learning isn’t always easy, and they’ll face challenges along the way. But instead of giving up, they see problems as chances to grow. They think creatively, try different strategies (策略), and learn from their mistakes. This helps them become stronger and more confident over time. ⑥ In short, lifelong learners stay curious, enjoy working with others, think carefully about information, and see challenges as chances to grow. These qualities not only help them succeed but also encourage people around them. Wouldn’t it be amazing to be a lifelong learner? 10．The underlined part “knowledge seekers” means “persons who ________”.

Here are some key characteristics:”可知，全文主要介绍终身学习者是什么样子的。 话题4 冒险与成长的关系 （26-27八年级上·江苏南通·单元测试）①Do you sometimes feel too afraid to try new things? If you want to grow and get better, you need to take risks and challenge yourself. But your brain often tells you to stay safe. It might say, “Don’t bother trying something new.” Even when these thoughts aren’t reasonable, our anxiety can still win. Instead of thinking about the good things that could happen, we worry more about “What if something goes wrong?” ②Avoiding all risks might seem smart, but it can make you feel unhappy. The problem is that we often make decisions based on feelings, not facts. We think, “The more scared I feel, the riskier it is.” But feelings aren’t always reasonable. If we knew how to think about risks clearly, we’d know which risks are worth taking. For example, trying a new hobby like painting might feel scary at first, but it could bring you joy and new skills. ③Whether you’re afraid to change your job or too nervous to ask a friend for coffee, learning to take “good risks” can improve your life. Here are good ways to help. ④Balance feelings with facts. Many times, we think fear means something risky. But that’s not true. For example, driving a car feels safe because we do it every day, but giving a speech in public might make your heart beat fast. Yet the fact shows that car accidents are much more common than getting hurt while speaking! So before you avoid doing something scary, take three deep breaths and ask yourself, “What’s the real risk here?” ⑤Take steps to succeed. You can do many small things to lower risks. If you’re nervous about a test, make a study plan and review each day—this helps you feel more prepared. It’s okay to feel butterflies in your stomach when you try something new. Facing fear helps build your mental muscle, just like exercising makes your body stronger. So, taking smart risks helps you become mentally stronger. Each time you try something scary, you will learn to deal with uncertainty and stress. You’ll also get new skills and grow from mistakes. If you try out for a dance team and don’t make it, you can ask for the reason and then practise more. With practice, you’ll get better at facing risks, and your chances of success will rise. 15．Which of the following is TRUE according to the first two paragraphs? A．Avoiding risks is a smart way to stay happy. B．Taking risks requires us to trust our feelings. C．Our brain often tells us to face challenges bravely. D．Our feelings often influence us to make decisions. 16．What does the underlined phrase “build your mental muscle” mean in the last paragraph? A．Make you stronger in your mind. B．Exercise your body to stay healthy. C．Think mainly about cheerful things. D．Avoid situations that make you afraid. 17．What is the structure of this passage? (①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2...) A．①②/③/④⑤ B．①②/③④⑤ C．①②③/④⑤ D．①/②③/④⑤ 18．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Taking smart risks can push us forward. B．Trying many small things leads to fewer risks. C．Learning clearly about real risks can help a lot. D．Practising more can help deal with risks better. 【答案】15．D 16．A 17．A 18．A 【解析】本文是一篇议论文，围绕“冒险与成长”展开论述，指出大脑会本能地让人回避风险，但合理的“优质冒险”能促进个人成长，并给出了平衡情绪与事实、分步推进成功两条实用建议。 15．根据第二段“The problem is that we often make decisions based on feelings, not facts.”可知，我们做决定时往往会受到自身感受的影响，而非完全基于事实。 16．根据后文“just like exercising makes your body stronger”可知，就像锻炼能让身体更强健一样，直面恐惧能锻炼心智、让内心变得更强大。 17．文章①②段提出问题：人们本能害怕冒险、习惯凭感受做决策；③段承上启下，引出应对方法；④⑤段分别给出两条具体建议，整体结构为①②/③/④⑤。 18．通读全文，文章核心是引导人们理性看待风险，进行明智的冒险，以此推动个人成长与进步。 话题5 学会把握”有益的冒险“的方法 （26-27八年级上·江苏南通·单元测试）Do you sometimes feel too afraid to try new things?

C．Learning clearly about real risks can help a lot. D．Practising more can help deal with risks better. 【答案】19．D 20．A 21．C 22．A 【解析】本文讲述很多人会因为恐惧不敢尝试新事物，人们常常凭感受而非事实判断风险。文章告诉我们要学会把握“有益的冒险”，介绍两种方法：平衡感受与事实、分步行动降低风险。合理的冒险能够锻炼心理，帮助我们成长、收获新技能，从失败中学习。 19．根据第二段“The problem is that we often make decisions based on feelings, not facts.”可知，我们的感受往往会影响我们做出决定。 20．根据最后一段“Facing fear helps build your mental muscle, just like exercising builds physical muscle.”可知，就像锻炼能塑造肌肉一样，直面恐惧能锻炼我们的心理素质，也就是增强心理力量。“build your mental muscle”和“develop strength in your mind”表意一致。 21．文章第一、二段介绍了风险的普遍性，以及人们凭感受判断风险的误区，引出话题；第三段承上启下，提出学会承担“合理风险”能改善生活，并引出具体方法；第四、五段分别介绍了两种应对方法。因此全文结构为①②-③-④⑤。 22．全文围绕“合理冒险”展开，告诉我们直面恐惧、承担明智的风险能够帮助我们成长、提升自我。选项A“明智地冒险能推动我们前进”最贴合文章核心主旨。 话题6 如何教孩子们交朋友 （26-27八年级上·全国·单元测试） ①Making friends is an important lesson for children to learn in life. ②A college in Australia did a study among local primary school students.

And 75% of them often make friends with people different from them in personality (性格). ③To teach kids friend-making skills, people started a programme called UR Strong. It offers kids classes on friendships to help them make friends. “Friend-making skills are just as important to a child’s future as other basic (基本的) life skills. We need to teach the skills in schools just like traditional lessons in reading and writing,” Edwina Ricci, a teacher in UR Strong, said. ④Now there are over 20 schools giving UR Strong friendship classes in Maroondah, Australia. Here are some ways of making a new friend from the friendship classes. ⑤Introduce (介绍) yourself first. Look at the person in the eye, smile and say, “Hi!  My name is...What’s your name?” After he or she answers, say something like, “It’s nice to meet you.” ⑥Show friendly body language. It’s OK to feel shy sometimes, but keep your body language friendly and show you care and are interested. ⑦Learn the art of talking. ▲ You two just pass questions and answers to know about each other better. ⑧Enjoy activities together.

Kelly and Maria are best friends with a lot of common interests. They love doing things together, but they find studying together impossible (不可能的). Their working styles are so different that they can’t be in the same room while they are studying! Kelly would like to study in a clean, open space, while Maria works best with books, papers and other things around her. Kelly likes to study in a totally quiet room, but Maria loves to play music or even have the TV on. Kelly can sit for hours without moving, and often gets all her homework finished in one sitting. Maria, however, is always getting up, and says that she thinks best when she’s on the move. You might wonder which way of studying is better. Many people believe that a quiet, tidy setting (环境) is the way to go, ________. Some research (研究) even showed that outside noise and untidiness (杂乱) help some people focus, because they make them have a “wall” in their mind around what they are doing and improve their focus. So, if you’re a student who chooses to study when sitting at a table in a busy shopping centre, don't worry about it. If you work in total quietness, that’s OK too. Judging (判断) from Kelly’s and Maria’s study habits, the best way to study is the way that works for you. In their very different ways, both of them do well in school, and both finish their work on time. 12．Kelly and Maria are mentioned (提到) as an example in this passage to ________. A．tell two different study habits B．tell the differences in their hobbies C．show the importance of a good study habit D．show the writer's worry about their friendship 13．Which of the following can replace (代替) the underlined word “common”? A．special B．different C．same D．easy 14．Which of the following is the best to fill in “________ ” in Paragraph 4? A．and they have trouble in study B．and it can be true for most of them C．but that isn't always true D．but nobody studies this question 15．What can be the best title for the passage? A．How to Improve Study Habits? B．Are You Studying in the “Right” Way? C．How Can You Make Friends? D．Is It Good to Study with Your Friends? 【答案】12．A 13．C 14．C 15．B 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，以Kelly和Maria为例，介绍人与人拥有不一样的学习习惯，没有统一标准的正确学习方式，适合自己的学习方法才是最好的。 12．根据第二、三段可知，文章通过Kelly和Maria的学习方式进行对比，具体介绍了她们在学习环境、声音以及学习状态等方面的不同习惯；再结合最后一段“the best way to study is the way that works for you”可知，作者借两人的例子说明不同的人有不同的学习习惯。 13．根据“Kelly and Maria are best friends with a lot of common interests.”以及下文“They love doing things together”可知，Kelly和Maria有很多相同的兴趣爱好，因此“common”意为“共同的；相同的”，选项C“same”与之意思相近。 14．根据前文“Many people believe that a quiet, tidy setting is the way to go”以及后文“Some research even showed that outside noise and untidiness help some people focus”可知，前后内容形成转折关系，说明安静整洁的环境并不总是最好的学习环境，因此应填“but that isn't always true”。 15．全文核心讲述不存在唯一正确的学习方式，适合自己就可以，标题“Are You Studying in the "Right" Way?”契合文章主旨，因此选B。 Passage 5 （26-27八年级上·全国·单元测试）One day, a little squirrel saw a beautiful kite on a tree. It belonged to a rabbit. The rabbit went home for dinner, leaving the kite under the tree. The squirrel decided to try flying it without asking. However, when he tried to pull the string, it got tangled (缠住) around his paw. He felt nervous. Since nobody had seen him, the squirrel ran off with the kite. The rabbit was very angry to find that the kite had been stolen. Soon, everyone in the forest started to help the rabbit look for the thief. When the squirrel found out what was happening, he thought, “Oh no! I have to do something.” He hid the kite by wrapping (包裹) his paw with leaves. The squirrel thought he had solved the problem well, but later he ran into the rabbit. Seeing that the squirrel was injured, the rabbit suggested taking him to the animal hospital right away. The squirrel just couldn’t say no. Since his home was on the way to the hospital, the squirrel asked the rabbit to go first so that he could get some water. Once the squirrel got inside his house, he wrapped his paw again and again so that the doctor wouldn’t see the kite string. Feeling more relaxed, the squirrel ran off to meet the rabbit. But because of the added leaves, he couldn’t run fast. He tripped over a stone and fell right onto the poor rabbit. Soon, hundreds of animals rushed to them, and then they found the leaves and the kite string. In one single morning, the squirrel lost all his friends because of the kite. After a long time, the squirrel met the rabbit. He apologised and told him the whole story. “I shouldn’t have kept making bigger lies to cover up the smaller ones,” he said. “I remember ________.” Seeing that the squirrel had learned the lesson, the rabbit was happy and helped him get his friends back. 16．What might be the squirrel’s facial expression when the string was stuck on his paw? A．😀 B．🙈 C．😳 D．😜 17．According to the passage, which is the RIGHT order of the following sentences? ① The squirrel found a kite. ② The squirrel met the rabbit. ③ The squirrel realized his mistake. ④ The squirrel hid the kite with leaves. ⑤ The squirrel wrapped his paw again before going to hospital. A．①③⑤④② B．①②③⑤④ C．①④②⑤③ D．①④⑤③② 18．The squirrel fell down because ________. A．he was too tired to run B．he put something else on his paw C．he became quite fat D．he carried some other kites 19．Which of the following can be put into “________”? A．tomorrow is another day B．honesty is the best policy C．two heads are better than one D．a friend in need is a friend indeed 【答案】16．C 17．C 18．B 19．B 【解析】本文是一篇寓言故事，讲述了松鼠偷拿兔子的风筝，为了掩盖错误不断撒谎，最终失去朋友又知错悔改的故事，揭示了诚实的重要性。 16．根据第一段中的“However, when he tried to pull the string, it got tangled (缠住) around his paw. He felt nervous.”可知，当线缠在爪子上时，松鼠的面部表情是紧张的。C项中表情与之相符。 17．根据第一段中的“One day, a little squirrel saw a beautiful kite on a tree.”可知“松鼠发现了一个风筝”排在第一位，对应①；第二段中的“He hid the kite by wrapping (包裹) his paw with leaves.”可知“松鼠用树叶把风筝藏了起来。”排第二位，对应④；根据第三段中的“but later he ran into the rabbit”可知“松鼠遇到了兔子。”排第三位，对应②；根据第四段中的“Once the squirrel got inside his house, he wrapped his paw again and again so that the doctor wouldn’t see the kite string.”可知“松鼠在去医院之前又包扎了他的爪子。”排第四位，对应⑤；根据最后一段中的“Seeing that the squirrel had learned the lesson, the rabbit was happy and helped him get his friends back.”可知“松鼠意识到自己的错误。”排最后一位，对应③。因此正确顺序为①④②⑤③。 18．根据第四段中的“But because of the added leaves, he couldn’t run fast. He tripped over a stone and fell right onto the poor rabbit.”可知，松鼠摔倒是因为他在爪子上多缠绕了叶子。 19．根据最后一段中的“He apologised and told him the whole story. ‘I shouldn’t have kept making bigger lies to cover up the smaller ones,’ he said.”可知，松鼠对自己通过不断编新的谎言去圆前面的谎言的行为后悔不已，所以横线处应该是讲诚实的重要性，“honesty is the best policy”符合语境。 Passage 6 （26-27八年级上·全国·单元测试）①A tree has roots (根). People have roots too. If you get to the root of a problem, you will solve it. It’s the same thing with words. Dig deeply into a big, unfamiliar word and you will understand where it came from. ②As readers, especially those reading in a second language, we need to deal with the text as if we were detectives (侦探) looking for information to unlock the unknown. Like any good detective arriving on the crime scene, the first thing to do when meeting a new and difficult word is to judge the situation, to look at everything that is known and see if it helps us to understand what it means. ③As you know, prefixes (前缀) and suffixes (后缀) can be added to the beginning or end of words to change the meaning. Know them, and you will have the word building power. But root words are the key. Take time to learn a few of these, put them in your memory, and you will become a master word detective. ④Let’s look at one common root word used in English. “Alter” from the Latin word means “other”. When you meet this root word, you know that the bigger word has something to do with “other”. Examine the word “alternate”. Can you find the Latin root in it? •If you and your friend like to eat out, first you pay and the other pays the next time. You are alternating paying. •If you go to the movies on alternate Saturdays, you go on one Saturday, but not the other Saturday. •If you have no alternative, you have no other choice. ⑤Learn as many root words as possible in the language you are studying. Then use your “rooting for words” skills. Like any new skill, practice and hard work are always paid back. 20．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．The situation. B．The crime scene. C．A new and difficult word. D．Everything that is known. 21．If Jim and Lily go to the movies, which one below is “alternating paying”? A．They each pay half. B．Jim pays every time. C．They take turns paying. D．Their parents pay for them. 22．How does the author explain his ideas about root words? A．By giving a fact. B．By taking an example. C．By telling a story. D．By having a discussion. 23．“Sen” from the Latin word means “old”. Which word uses this Latin root? A．My brother is my senior by two years. B．He was ill so he was absent from school. C．A criminal was sentenced to death by law. D．60 students were present at the sports meeting. 24．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage?(①=paragraph 1 ②=paragraph 2, …) A．①②/③④/⑤ B．①/②/③④/⑤ C．①/②③/④/⑤ D．①/②③④/⑤ 【答案】20．C 21．C 22．B 23．A 24．B 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍通过词根来推测、理解生词含义的阅读技巧，告诉读者学习词根有助于读懂陌生单词。 20．根据第二段“the first thing to do when meeting a new and difficult word is to judge the situation, to look at everything that is known and see if it helps us to understand what it means.”可知，当遇到一个新的和难的单词时，首先要做的是判断情况，看看所有已知的东西，看看它是否有助于我们理解它的意思。本句中it指代前面出现的“a new and difficult word”，也就是难懂的生词。 21．根据第四段“If you and your friend like to eat out, first you pay and the other pays the next time. You are alternating paying.”可推知，alternating paying指的是轮流付款，即吉姆和莉莉轮流付钱，对应“They take turns paying”。 22．根据第四段“Let’s look at one common root word used in English. ‘Alter’ from the Latin word means ‘other’.”可推知，作者通过列举“Alter”这个具体的词根例子来解释关于词根的观点，即“By taking an example”。 23．根据题干信息“‘Sen’ from the Latin word means ‘old’”可知，词根“Sen”表示“老”，分析选项，A选项中“senior”意为“年长的”，含有词根sen，其余选项词汇的含义均和“老”无关。 24．第一段引入词根的概念；第二段讲述面对生词时应采取的方法；第三、四段具体讲解词根的作用并以“Alter”为例展开说明；第五段总结呼吁读者多学习词根勤加练习，对应①/②/③④/⑤的结构。 Passage 7 （26-27八年级上·全国·单元测试）Ken and Anthony were childhood (童年的) friends.

Inside he saw a notice for a poetry reading at a nearby bookstore.”提到Ken在看报纸时看到了诗歌朗诵会的通知，从而找到了失联好友。 26．第二段第3句“He was surprised to find that the poet looks like his friend Anthony.”提到Ken在读报纸时，发现这位诗人很像自己的朋友Anthony，此时他感到惊讶。 27．第三段第5句“What Anthony lost in looks was made up for in talent.”意思是Anthony外貌上不复当年，但才华弥补了外貌的变化，也就是体重增加，但富有才华。 28．第五段第4句“Ken and Anthony decided not to lose touch again.”说明Ken和Anthony决定不再失去联系。 29．全文围绕Ken和Anthony这一对儿时好友久别重逢的故事展开，“Childhood friends”最贴合文章主旨。 Passage 8 （26-27八年级上·全国·单元测试）What makes a good friend?

Try a few of these ways to talk to people in your class and play with them outside school. Before you know it, you’ll have a group of friends to have fun with every day! ■ Be friendly. Using right body language will help—stand up straight, make eye contact with people, and smile! Try to avoid crossing your arms over your chest and looking closed off. That doesn’t seem nice. The more open and friendly you look, the more people will want to get to know you. ■ Sit at a new table during lunchtime. Look for tables with an open seat. If you’re feeling a little shy, pick a table that only has one or two people sitting down. Head over and ask if you can sit there, and then join in the talk. If you like the people you sit with, ask if you can join them again the next day. ■ Try out for a sports team. Pick a sport that you like (it could be soccer, basketball, softball, baseball or anything), and try out for the team. Over time, you could become good friends with other people on your team! If your school doesn't have a sports team, try looking for one at your local community centre. ■    Join an after-school club. Meet friends who hold the same interest as you. Ask a teacher or your parents for a list of after-school activities and pick 1 or 2 of them that you're the most excited about. Introduce yourself to everyone when you have your first club meeting to meet new people and start a fun talk. 1．The underlined word “avoid” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.

Instead, they believe that learning never stops and that there’s always something new to discover. Because they keep learning, they contribute a lot to the groups they’re part of, whether it’s at school, in clubs, or even with family and friends. They share fresh ideas and help others grow too. But what exactly makes them stand out? Here are some key characteristics: ② They are knowledge seekers. If they’re interested in a topic, they’ll dig deep to learn more. They don’t just stick to one book or website—they search everywhere for information. They also look for new experiences, like workshops or hands-on activities, to improve their skills. ③ They are social and self-directed learners. They like taking different courses and taking part in discussions about subjects they are interested in. They learn from and with others. They also know their own learning styles. They can plan and organize their own learning. ④ They are critical (批判性的) thinkers. Lifelong learners don’t just accept information blindly. They ask questions, check facts, and use different methods to analyze information. For example, if they’re researching a topic, they’ll compare sources to make sure the information is accurate and useful. ⑤ They are problem solvers. Learning isn’t always easy, and they’ll face challenges along the way. But instead of giving up, they see problems as chances to grow. They think creatively, try different strategies (策略), and learn from their mistakes. This helps them become stronger and more confident over time. ⑥ In short, lifelong learners stay curious, enjoy working with others, think carefully about information, and see challenges as chances to grow. These qualities not only help them succeed but also encourage people around them. Wouldn’t it be amazing to be a lifelong learner? 10．The underlined part “knowledge seekers” means “persons who ________”. A．are teaching knowledge B．are looking for knowledge C．are always testing knowledge D．like inventing different items 11．Which of the following most clearly shows you are a critical thinker? A．You believe the information you get in your study. B．You accept the mistakes as soon as you find them. C．You always use a lot of ways to analyze information.

D．What are lifelong learners like? 话题4 冒险与成长的关系 （26-27八年级上·江苏南通·单元测试）①Do you sometimes feel too afraid to try new things? If you want to grow and get better, you need to take risks and challenge yourself. But your brain often tells you to stay safe. It might say, “Don’t bother trying something new.” Even when these thoughts aren’t reasonable, our anxiety can still win. Instead of thinking about the good things that could happen, we worry more about “What if something goes wrong?” ②Avoiding all risks might seem smart, but it can make you feel unhappy. The problem is that we often make decisions based on feelings, not facts. We think, “The more scared I feel, the riskier it is.” But feelings aren’t always reasonable. If we knew how to think about risks clearly, we’d know which risks are worth taking. For example, trying a new hobby like painting might feel scary at first, but it could bring you joy and new skills. ③Whether you’re afraid to change your job or too nervous to ask a friend for coffee, learning to take “good risks” can improve your life. Here are good ways to help. ④Balance feelings with facts. Many times, we think fear means something risky. But that’s not true. For example, driving a car feels safe because we do it every day, but giving a speech in public might make your heart beat fast. Yet the fact shows that car accidents are much more common than getting hurt while speaking! So before you avoid doing something scary, take three deep breaths and ask yourself, “What’s the real risk here?” ⑤Take steps to succeed. You can do many small things to lower risks. If you’re nervous about a test, make a study plan and review each day—this helps you feel more prepared. It’s okay to feel butterflies in your stomach when you try something new. Facing fear helps build your mental muscle, just like exercising makes your body stronger. So, taking smart risks helps you become mentally stronger. Each time you try something scary, you will learn to deal with uncertainty and stress. You’ll also get new skills and grow from mistakes. If you try out for a dance team and don’t make it, you can ask for the reason and then practise more. With practice, you’ll get better at facing risks, and your chances of success will rise. 15．Which of the following is TRUE according to the first two paragraphs? A．Avoiding risks is a smart way to stay happy. B．Taking risks requires us to trust our feelings. C．Our brain often tells us to face challenges bravely. D．Our feelings often influence us to make decisions. 16．What does the underlined phrase “build your mental muscle” mean in the last paragraph? A．Make you stronger in your mind. B．Exercise your body to stay healthy. C．Think mainly about cheerful things. D．Avoid situations that make you afraid. 17．What is the structure of this passage? (①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2...) A．①②/③/④⑤ B．①②/③④⑤ C．①②③/④⑤ D．①/②③/④⑤ 18．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Taking smart risks can push us forward. B．Trying many small things leads to fewer risks. C．Learning clearly about real risks can help a lot. D．Practising more can help deal with risks better. 话题5 学会把握”有益的冒险“的方法 （26-27八年级上·江苏南通·单元测试）Do you sometimes feel too afraid to try new things?

The study shows 76% of students have a few good friends at school. Less than 10% of them say they seldom have a good friend at school. What’s more, 55% of students are good at making friends. And 75% of them often make friends with people different from them in personality (性格). ③To teach kids friend-making skills, people started a programme called UR Strong. It offers kids classes on friendships to help them make friends. “Friend-making skills are just as important to a child’s future as other basic (基本的) life skills. We need to teach the skills in schools just like traditional lessons in reading and writing,” Edwina Ricci, a teacher in UR Strong, said. ④Now there are over 20 schools giving UR Strong friendship classes in Maroondah, Australia. Here are some ways of making a new friend from the friendship classes. ⑤Introduce (介绍) yourself first. Look at the person in the eye, smile and say, “Hi!  My name is...What’s your name?” After he or she answers, say something like, “It’s nice to meet you.” ⑥Show friendly body language. It’s OK to feel shy sometimes, but keep your body language friendly and show you care and are interested. ⑦Learn the art of talking. ▲ You two just pass questions and answers to know about each other better. ⑧Enjoy activities together. Try to find something you both like and ask the other person to take part in an activity with you. 23．What do we learn from the study? A．It’s difficult for middle school students to make friends.

Passage 4 （26-27八年级上·全国·单元测试）You may study differently from your friends, but your study habits are not wrong! Kelly and Maria are best friends with a lot of common interests. They love doing things together, but they find studying together impossible (不可能的). Their working styles are so different that they can’t be in the same room while they are studying! Kelly would like to study in a clean, open space, while Maria works best with books, papers and other things around her. Kelly likes to study in a totally quiet room, but Maria loves to play music or even have the TV on. Kelly can sit for hours without moving, and often gets all her homework finished in one sitting. Maria, however, is always getting up, and says that she thinks best when she’s on the move. You might wonder which way of studying is better. Many people believe that a quiet, tidy setting (环境) is the way to go, ________. Some research (研究) even showed that outside noise and untidiness (杂乱) help some people focus, because they make them have a “wall” in their mind around what they are doing and improve their focus. So, if you’re a student who chooses to study when sitting at a table in a busy shopping centre, don't worry about it. If you work in total quietness, that’s OK too.

Passage 5 （26-27八年级上·全国·单元测试）One day, a little squirrel saw a beautiful kite on a tree. It belonged to a rabbit. The rabbit went home for dinner, leaving the kite under the tree. The squirrel decided to try flying it without asking. However, when he tried to pull the string, it got tangled (缠住) around his paw. He felt nervous. Since nobody had seen him, the squirrel ran off with the kite. The rabbit was very angry to find that the kite had been stolen. Soon, everyone in the forest started to help the rabbit look for the thief. When the squirrel found out what was happening, he thought, “Oh no! I have to do something.” He hid the kite by wrapping (包裹) his paw with leaves. The squirrel thought he had solved the problem well, but later he ran into the rabbit. Seeing that the squirrel was injured, the rabbit suggested taking him to the animal hospital right away. The squirrel just couldn’t say no. Since his home was on the way to the hospital, the squirrel asked the rabbit to go first so that he could get some water. Once the squirrel got inside his house, he wrapped his paw again and again so that the doctor wouldn’t see the kite string. Feeling more relaxed, the squirrel ran off to meet the rabbit. But because of the added leaves, he couldn’t run fast. He tripped over a stone and fell right onto the poor rabbit. Soon, hundreds of animals rushed to them, and then they found the leaves and the kite string. In one single morning, the squirrel lost all his friends because of the kite. After a long time, the squirrel met the rabbit.

If you get to the root of a problem, you will solve it. It’s the same thing with words. Dig deeply into a big, unfamiliar word and you will understand where it came from. ②As readers, especially those reading in a second language, we need to deal with the text as if we were detectives (侦探) looking for information to unlock the unknown. Like any good detective arriving on the crime scene, the first thing to do when meeting a new and difficult word is to judge the situation, to look at everything that is known and see if it helps us to understand what it means. ③As you know, prefixes (前缀) and suffixes (后缀) can be added to the beginning or end of words to change the meaning. Know them, and you will have the word building power. But root words are the key. Take time to learn a few of these, put them in your memory, and you will become a master word detective. ④Let’s look at one common root word used in English. “Alter” from the Latin word means “other”. When you meet this root word, you know that the bigger word has something to do with “other”. Examine the word “alternate”. Can you find the Latin root in it? •If you and your friend like to eat out, first you pay and the other pays the next time. You are alternating paying. •If you go to the movies on alternate Saturdays, you go on one Saturday, but not the other Saturday. •If you have no alternative, you have no other choice. ⑤Learn as many root words as possible in the language you are studying. Then use your “rooting for words” skills. Like any new skill, practice and hard work are always paid back. 20．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．The situation. B．The crime scene. C．A new and difficult word. D．Everything that is known. 21．If Jim and Lily go to the movies, which one below is “alternating paying”? A．They each pay half. B．Jim pays every time. C．They take turns paying. D．Their parents pay for them. 22．How does the author explain his ideas about root words? A．By giving a fact. B．By taking an example. C．By telling a story. D．By having a discussion. 23．“Sen” from the Latin word means “old”. Which word uses this Latin root? A．My brother is my senior by two years. B．He was ill so he was absent from school. C．A criminal was sentenced to death by law. D．60 students were present at the sports meeting. 24．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage?(①=paragraph 1 ②=paragraph 2, …) A．①②/③④/⑤ B．①/②/③④/⑤ C．①/②③/④/⑤ D．①/②③④/⑤ Passage 7 （26-27八年级上·全国·单元测试）Ken and Anthony were childhood (童年的) friends.
