You’re the 11 I am not.” “But you can learn with me and have fun!” I said in an encouraging voice. “I really don’t want to go alone.” Mandy smiled, “I tried, but I’m not good at it.” Then, I called my other friends, but they all turned me down. 12 , I decided to go outside to draw the Westons’ pine tree to make myself feel better. On the way, I thought about the art camp and wished I could go to the camp 13 . Mandy could make friends with others in 10 minutes, but I was afraid when there were strangers’ faces around me. On the way to the park, I kept telling myself I would be fine if I couldn’t go to the camp. By the time I arrived there, I had made myself believe that I was happy to 14 the camp. I took out my pencils and started drawing the 15 trunk (树干) of the pine. Once I started, I didn’t notice the fly (苍蝇) buzzing around me. That’s why I 16 when Mr. Weston suddenly talked behind me, “You’ve done a great job showing the strength of that tree.” “Thanks.” I smiled. Mr. Weston continued, “I 17 pine trees a few years ago. They have to spread out the roots near the surface so the tree can get enough water and grow tall with the earth around. If you plant the root ball too deep, the tree dries up and dies. Roots grow out, not 18 .” Now I noticed the roots all around the tree. It made me think about the art camp and my own roots. I was keeping myself in one 19 hole because it made me feel safer. If I wanted to grow, I had to start reaching out too. That night, I made my final 20 . I felt nervous but excited. “I am stretching my roots out into new earth so I can grow”, I thought. “I am the pine”. 11．A．player B．artist C．student D．teacher 12．A．Finally B．Luckily C．Happily D．Excitedly 13．A．freely B．safely C．bravely D．quietly 14．A．give up B．give in C．give out D．give away 15．A．tall B．strong C．strange D．beautiful 16．A．ran B．sang C．jumped D．laughed 17．A．saw B．drew C．watched D．planted 18．A．behind B．up C．down D．high 19．A．big B．new C．deep D．small 20．A．decision B．mind C．dream D．plan 【答案】 11．B 12．A 13．C 14．A 15．B 16．C 17．D 18．C 19．C 20．A 【导语】本文讲述了Tessa想去参加艺术夏令营但朋友们都不愿同去，她一度想放弃，后来在公园画松树时与Weston先生交谈，从松树的根系得到启发：不能只待在安全的“深坑”里，而要向外伸展自己的“根”，最终勇敢做出决定去参加夏令营的故事。 【详解】11．句意：你是艺术家，而我不是。 根据前文Mandy鼓励Tessa去参加艺术夏令营，以及后文“I tried, but I’m not good at it”可知，Mandy认为自己不擅长艺术，而Tessa是擅长艺术的“艺术家”。artist“艺术家”。player“运动员”、student“学生”、teacher“老师”均不符合语境。 12．句意：最后，我决定出去画Weston家的松树，让自己心情好一些。 在打电话给其他朋友都遭到拒绝之后，最终做出了出去画画的决定。Finally“最后”。Luckily“幸运地”、Happily“开心地”、Excitedly“兴奋地”均不符合被拒绝后的低落情绪。 13．句意：在路上，我想着艺术夏令营，希望能勇敢地去参加夏令营。 前文提到Tessa害怕陌生人，她希望自己能克服恐惧“勇敢地”去参加。bravely“勇敢地”。freely“自由地”、safely“安全地”、quietly“安静地”均不符合克服恐惧的语境。 14．句意：等我到了公园，我已经让自己相信，放弃夏令营我也很快乐。 give up“放弃”。give in“屈服/让步”、give out“分发/耗尽”、give away“赠送/泄露”，均不符合“不去参加”的含义。 15．句意：我拿出铅笔，开始画松树强壮的树干。 strong“强壮的”与后文Mr. Weston说的“showing the strength of that tree”呼应。tall“高的”、strange“奇怪的”、beautiful“美丽的”均不直接体现“力量/强壮”。 16．句意：这就是为什么当Weston先生突然在我身后说话时，我吓了一跳。 jump可以表示“因吃惊而猛地一动/吓一跳”。ran“跑”、sang“唱歌”、laughed“笑”均不符合受到惊吓的反应。 17．句意：几年前我种过松树。 planted“种植”与后文描述种植松树的注意事项（根不能种太深等）一致。saw“看见”、drew“画”、watched“观看”均不符合种植的语境。 18．句意：根是向外生长，而不是向下生长。 down“向下”与后文“根向外伸展”形成对比，且与前文“plant the root ball too deep”以及“roots grow out”呼应。behind“在后面”、up“向上”、high“高”均不符合根系生长方向的对比。 19．句意：我一直把自己困在一个深坑里，因为那样让我觉得更安全。 deep“深的”，与前文Mr. Weston所说的“plant the root ball too deep”（根球种得太深）以及“Roots grow out, not down”（根向外而非向下生长）直接呼应。作者反思自己像松树根被种得太深一样，把自己困在一个“深”坑里以获得安全感。small“小的”、big“大的”、new“新的”均无法与松树种植深度的比喻形成对应。 20．句意：那天晚上，我做出了最后的决定。 make a decision“做决定”。mind“头脑/想法”（make up one’s mind下决心）、dream“梦想”、plan“计划”，其中make a final decision为常见搭配。 二、阅读。(本大题共2大题，共35分) 第一节 阅读理解(本大题共15小题，每小题2分，共30分) A （25-26八年级上·广东广州·期中）Because of busy lifestyles and work stress, more Chinese people are now turning to AI tools like DeepSeek to talk about their problems. They share feelings with the chatbot and receive warm advice. This practice, known as “AI therapy (疗法),” is becoming popular online. But can robots really replace human therapists? Around the world. 45 percent of people who needed care in 2024 did not get it because it was too costly or there weren’t enough doctors. Daniel Lowd, a professor at the University of Oregon, believes AI could help fill this gap. “If people can find some support and ideas by talking to ChatGPT or chatbot, then I think that’s wonderful,” Lowd told Newsweek. Li Yong, a doctor at the Jiangsu Province Hospital, agreed with Lowd, saying that AI meets people’s basic needs for emotional support to a point. However, AI has its disadvantages. Human therapists understand feelings deeply through face-to-face talks and create treatment plans—something robots can’t fully copy. Dr. LiuYang, a psychologist (心理学家), notes “An AI might recognize keywords like ‘divorce’, but it cannot find out small changes in tone or body language”. This point becomes important when dealing with a series of situations, where misunderstandings could be dangerous. Another problem is safety. AI cannot match the level of responsibility that human therapists have. Experts believe the key to safe AI therapy is strict government control. For example, Wysa, an AI mental health app, follows strict medical standards in the UK. Data privacy appears as another large concern (担忧). Users usually share personal details on AI platforms, yet few companies clearly state how this information is stored or used. As AI becomes part of daily life, finding a balance between its benefits and risks is important. While AI offers quick help, human connection remains irreplaceable for serious emotional needs. 21．What makes people turn to “AI therapy”? A．That AI therapy is warmer. B．That people feel much pressure. C．That AI tools are free. D．That DeepSeek is popular. 22．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．The government control. B．The AI tool. C．The medical standard. D．Mental health care. 23．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．AI therapy is nicer and cheaper than human therapists. B．AI robots will soon replace human therapists in hospitals. C．AI has limits in understanding deep emotions and safety risks. D．AI can perfectly copy human therapists’ skills and methods. 24．Why does the writer mention the Wysa app? A．To explain why China needs more therapists. B．To prove robots can deal with emergencies. C．To show AI is cheaper than human doctors. D．To give an example of safe AI under rules. 25．What is the writer’s attitude toward AI therapy? A．Fully supportive. B．Completely against. C．Mixed and fair. D．Doesn’t care. 【答案】21．B 22．D 23．C 24．D 25．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了“AI疗法”在中国及全球兴起的原因，分析了其在提供情感支持方面的优势，同时也指出了AI在理解深层情绪、安全责任和数据隐私等方面的局限性。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据“Because of busy lifestyles and work stress, more Chinese people are now turning to AI tools...”可知，人们转向AI疗法的主要原因是生活节奏快和工作压力大，即感到压力。选项B“人们感到很大压力”与原文一致。故选B。 22．词句猜测题。根据“45 percent of people who needed care in 2024 did not get it because it was too costly or there weren’t enough doctors.” 可知，此处“it”指代前文“care”。结合上下文，“needed care”指的是对心理健康的照护或治疗，因此“it”指代“Mental health care”（心理健康照护）。故选D。 23．主旨大意题。第三段主要指出AI的两个核心缺陷：一是无法像人类治疗师那样通过语气、肢体语言等捕捉细微情绪变化；二是在处理复杂或危险情况时可能因误解而带来风险。此外，第四段开头还提到“Another problem is safety”，说明本段重点在于AI在情感理解和安全方面的局限性。选项C“AI在理解深层情绪和安全风险方面存在局限”准确概括了段落主旨。故选C。 24．推理判断题。根据“AI cannot match the level of responsibility...in the UK”可知，在严格监管下，AI疗法可以做到安全可靠。因此，提及Wysa是为了举例说明“受规则约束的安全AI应用”。选项D“给出一个在规则下安全的AI例子”符合写作意图。故选D。 25．观点态度题。全文既肯定了AI疗法在提供便捷情感支持方面的积极作用（如缓解资源短缺、满足基本需求），也明确指出了其在共情深度、安全责任和隐私保护等方面的不足，并在结尾强调“human connection remains irreplaceable for serious emotional needs”。这表明作者对AI疗法持理性、平衡、既认可优点又警惕风险的态度。选项C“Mixed and fair（混合且公正）”准确反映了这一立场。故选C。 B （25-26八年级上·广东广州·期中）Samuel lived in a small village near a big mountain. He was an ordinary man, but he had big dreams and a heart full of hope. Even if life was not easy for him, he always believed hard work could change everything. Every day, Samuel looked at the mountain. It stood high and strong, making him want to be strong too. One day, Samuel decided to climb the mountain. The villagers laughed at him. “You can’t do it” they said. However, Samuel didn’t let their mockery (嘲笑) stop him. With strong determination, he began his journey up the mountain. The path was tough, with steep slopes (山坡), slippery rocks, and unpredictable weather making the journey rather dangerous. Samuel fell lots of times. His leg hurt and he felt very tired, but he didn’t give up. On the way, Samuel met other travelers. They helped each other. Soon, they became friends, cheering each other up and sharing stories of their hard times and successes. Their friendship made them all stronger. As Samuel climbed higher, the air got thinner, and the challenges grew harder. Samuel felt tired and scared. “Maybe I should stop,” he thought. But then, he remembered his dream. “I must try” he told himself. With that thought, he moved on, bit by bit. Finally, after days of effort, Samuel reached the top. The view was amazing. He saw green forests and rivers below. The world looked quite different in his eyes, big and beautiful. It was then that Samuel realized the true victory wasn’t just about reaching the top of the mountain. It was a journey. The changes he had experienced mattered most. News of Samuel’s success spread quickly, and the villagers were shocked. “You really did it” they said. Samuel’s journey taught everyone that with determination and hard work, even the highest mountains can be conquered (征服). 26．Why did Samuel decide to climb the mountain? A．The mountain’s high and strong look inspired him to be strong. B．He wanted to prove he was better than the other villagers. C．He needed to find something valuable on the mountain. D．The villagers encouraged him to do so. 27．When Samuel felt tired and scared during the climb, what kept him going? A．His dream to reach the top. B．The help from other villagers. C．The beautiful view he imagined. D．The promise he made to the travelers. 28．Which of the following shows the correct order of the events? a. Samuel met other travelers and formed friendship. b. The villagers laughed at him, but he didn’t stop. c. Samuel decided to climb the mountain. d. He hurt his leg but kept climbing. e. He reached the top. A．cbdae B．cbade C．cdbae D．cdabe 29．Which of the following sayings best summarizes what Samuel realized? A．He who laughs last, laughs best. B．A friend in need is a friend indeed. C．If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. D．The journey is more important than the destination. 30．What lesson did Samuel’s journey teach the villagers? A．Mocking others is not a good habit. B．Climbing mountains is a good way to exercise. C．A strong will and efforts are keys to difficult goals. D．It’s important to make friends during difficult tasks. 【答案】26．A 27．A 28．A 29．D 30．C 【导语】本文讲述了Samuel攀登高山的故事，传递了关于坚持、友谊和成长的重要人生哲理。 【详解】26．细节理解题。根据“Every day, Samuel looked at the mountain. It stood high and strong, making him want to be strong too.”可知，山又高又壮的样子激励塞缪尔也要变得强壮，所以他决定爬山。故选A。 27．细节理解题。根据“Samuel felt tired and scared. ‘Maybe I should stop,’ he thought. But then, he remembered his dream. ‘I must try’ he told himself. With that thought, he moved on, bit by bit.”可知，当塞缪尔在攀登过程中感到疲惫和害怕时，是他到达山顶的梦想支撑着他继续前进。故选A。 28．细节理解题。根据“One day, Samuel decided to climb the mountain. The villagers laughed at him…His leg hurt and he felt very tired, but he didn’t give up…On the way, Samuel met other travelers. They helped each other. Soon, they became friends…Finally, after days of effort, Samuel reached the top.”可知，塞缪尔先决定爬山（c. Samuel decided to climb the mountain.），村民嘲笑他但他没有停止（b. The villagers laughed at him, but he didn’t stop.），在爬山途中他伤了腿但继续爬（d. He hurt his leg but kept climbing.），然后他遇到了其他旅行者并建立了友谊（a. Samuel met other travelers and formed friendship.），最后他到达了山顶（e. He reached the top.）。所以正确顺序是cbdae。故选A。 29．推理判断题。根据“It was then that Samuel realized the true victory wasn’t just about reaching the top of the mountain. It was a journey. The changes he had experienced mattered most.”可知，塞缪尔意识到真正的胜利不只是到达山顶，而是一段旅程，他经历的改变才是最重要的，即旅程比目的地更重要。故选D。 30．细节理解题。根据“Samuel’s journey taught everyone that with determination and hard work, even the highest mountains can be conquered (征服).”可知，塞缪尔的旅程告诉村民们，只要有坚定的意志和努力，即使是最高的山也能被征服，即坚强的意志和努力是实现困难目标的关键。故选C。 C （25-26八年级上·广东广州·期中）The third month of the school year has now arrived. Have you paid attention to how, when we talk about numbers, we naturally think of the number three? In some ways, “three” is a number that has magical powers. If you are a close observer of life, you should have found that this number is all around us. Everything has a beginning, a middle and an end. We eat three meals a day. Traffic lights all over the world use three colors: red, yellow and green. And there is the rule of three. It is an age-old writing technique. According to this rule, things can always become more satisfying to readers if they come in threes. Did you know that the world’s most powerful brands use the rule of three to enhance their marketing? Just do it. I’m loving it. Coke is it. All of these famous slogans are three words long. (And perhaps you have realized that we have only offered three examples. Well, in many articles, examples often come in threes.) (Including this one, it’s four). But what is it about the number three that makes it so magical? Well, we know that the human brain is very complex. However, it enjoys thinking in patterns. It is always trying to find structure in seemingly unrelated information. What’s more, if there are no patterns, our brains will create them. And three is the smallest number needed to form a pattern. As the old saying goes, “Once is luck, twice is coincidence and three times is a pattern.” Moreover, our brains can only remember a little information at any given moment. An audience member will usually only remember three things from a speech. Do you want something in your presentation to stick in your audience’s minds? Put it forward to them in groups of three. If we properly use the rule of three in our daily lives, we can make many things easier. For example, many people like to add lots of tasks to their to-do lists. Experts, however, suggest they should limit themselves to just three tasks. These top three tasks should be hard enough to be challenging while still being achievable. And the next time you are making New Year’s resolutions, consider listing only three things to work on. The longer your list is, ________! 31．What example does the author list to explain the rule of three in marketing? A．People have three meals eaten daily. B．Three types of advertising methods. C．Three different colors in traffic lights. D．Three slogans that all have three words. 32．What does the underlined word “pattern” mean? A．A design made from repeated lines, shapes, or colours. B．A drawing or shape used to show how to make things. C．A particular way in which something is done or organized. D．A small piece taken from something to show what it is like. 33．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．People naturally trust the messages more if they are only three words long. B．The number three is powerful because it represents a symbol of good luck. C．The human brain requires exactly three elements to recognize any kind of pattern. D．Big brands mainly use three-word slogans because they are easier to remember. 34．Which of the following best fits the blank in the last paragraph? A．the less likely you are to keep it B．the more productive you will be C．the happier you will feel next year D．the better you can manage your time 35．Where can you probably read the passage? A．In a school textbook on social studies. B．In a science report about brain research. C．In a business newspaper on marketing. D．In a magazine about language and life. 【答案】31．D 32．C 33．D 34．A 35．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了神奇的数字3。 【详解】31．细节理解题。根据“Did you know that the world’s most powerful brands use the rule of three to enhance their marketing? Just do it. I’m loving it. Coke is it. All of these famous slogans are three words long.”可知，作者列举了三个著名的口号来证明三在市场中的应用。故选D。 32．词义猜测题。根据“Once is luck, twice is coincidence and three times is a pattern.”可知，pattern强调事物组织或重复的规律性，选项C的“特定组织方式”最契合语境。故选C。 33．推理判断题。根据“our brains can only remember a little information”及“...usually only remember three things from a speech”可知，品牌使用三词标语是为了便于记忆。故选D。 34．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The longer your list is...”以及前文提到的“三”的规则和大脑记忆的限制，可以推断，清单越长，你越不可能坚持完成它。故选A。 35．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章探讨“三”在语言、生活中的普遍性，兼具语言与生活主题，适合杂志。故选D。 第二节 阅读填空(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) （25-26八年级上·广东广州·期中）阅读短文及文后A-E选项， 选出可以填入下面各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Have you ever wondered why the letters on a keyboard are not in “ABC” order? The keyboard we use every day is called the QWERTY keyboard layout (布局). Q, W, E, R, T, Y are the first six letters on this layout, starting from the top left. 36 The first manual typewriter (手动打字机), with a keyboard which looked like a piano, was invented in the late 19th century. 37 However, it was later discovered that as the typing speed increased, some keys failed to come back to their places quickly. As a result, they got jammed (卡住) very easily. 38 To solve this problem, the QWERTY keyboard was developed. It placed keys in such a way that the most used letters were spaced out so that the keys were more likely to work freely. 39 With the arrival of the computer, the typists in offices were the same people who were to now operate computers. This meant the typists had to be trained to use the new device. 40 It was easier to design the keyboards following the layout of typewriters, which was the QWERTY layout, and this continues even today. A．But training required too much time and money. B．However, another problem came about in the 1940s. C．These typewriters did have the ABC keyboard layout. D．To understand why we went with QWERTY, we need to go back in history. E．Most typists ended up breaking the typewriter altogether when separating the keys. 【答案】36．D 37．C 38．E 39．B 40．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了QWERTY键盘布局的历史由来，解释了为什么键盘字母没有按“ABC”顺序排列，而是为了解决早期打字机卡键问题以及后续兼容性而延续至今。 【详解】36．根据前文提出的问题“Have you ever wondered why the letters on a keyboard are not in ‘ABC’ order?”以及下文对19世纪打字机历史的描述可知，此处需要一个承上启下的句子引出历史背景。D项“To understand why we went with QWERTY, we need to go back in history.”符合逻辑衔接。 37．根据空后转折词“However”及描述打字速度增加后产生的问题可知，前文应交代最初打字机的布局情况。C项“These typewriters did have the ABC keyboard layout.”符合语境与下文“keys failed to come back…got jammed (卡住)”的麻烦构成对比。 38．根据前文描述打字机按键“got jammed (卡住) very easily”可知，此处应进一步说明卡键带来的严重后果。E项“Most typists ended up breaking the typewriter altogether when separating the keys.”体现了问题的严重性，从而引出下文研发QWERTY布局来解决此问题。 39．根据下文提到的“arrival of the computer”可知，此处发生了时间跨越，进入了计算机时代。B项“However, another problem came about in the 1940s.”起到了开启新段落并引入新时代背景的作用。 40．根据前文提到打字员“had to be trained to use the new device”以及下文指出沿用旧布局更容易可知，此处应说明重新训练的成本阻碍了布局的改变。A项“But training required too much time and money.”合理解释了为何计算机键盘继续沿用打字机的QWERTY布局。 三、项目情境题(读写综合)。(本大题共2大题，共20分) 第一节 信息匹配(本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) （25-26八年级上·广东深圳·期中）下面的材料A-F分别是六个百科网站的简介。请根据以下五个人的任务，选择最适合他们的网站，并在答题卡上将相应的字母编号涂黑。 41 Maggie is leading a low-cost, healthy lunch program. 42 Ben is making an art poster about Dunhuang cave paintings. 43 Henry is writing a report on the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty. 44 Zoe is studying bird species in Shenzhen Bay for a school project. 45 Fiona is comparing the weather in Guangzhou and Harbin.

Their school library was almost empty. A group of students from a city middle school learned about this and decided to take action. They started a book drive called “Pages of Friendship”. First, they made posters and gave speeches in their school to encourage book donations. They collected used books from their own homes, classmates, and neighbours. Then they put the books into different groups: storybooks for primary students, science and history books for older children, and colourful picture books for the youngest readers. After that, they worked with their teachers to contact the village school and plan how to send the books. Every month, they carefully packed and sent a box of 50 books. To make the connection more meaningful, they also wrote letters to the village children, sharing good books and their own school life stories. The village children wrote back with drawings and their thoughts about the books, expressing their excitement and thankfulness. One student wrote, “These books are like windows to a bigger world that I’ve never seen before.” The project not only provided books for children, but also built a bridge of friendship between city and village students. 46．What was the village school’s library like at first? 47．What is the name of the book drive? 48．How many books do the city students send to the village school every month? 49．What else did the city students do besides sending books? 50．What did the village children write back to the city students? 【答案】46．It was almost empty. 47．It was called “Pages of Friendship”. 48．They sent 50 books every month. 49．They wrote letters to the village children, sharing good books and their own school life stories. 50．They wrote back with drawings and their thoughts about the books, expressing their excitement and thankfulness. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述城市中学生发起名为“Pages of Friendship”的捐书活动，给乡村学校捐赠图书，并且书信往来，搭建起城乡学生之间友谊桥梁的故事。 【详解】46．根据文章第1段“In a small village far from the city, children had very few books to read. Their school library was almost empty.”可知，乡村学校的图书馆一开始几乎是空的。 47．根据文章第1段“They started a book drive called ‘Pages of Friendship’.”可知，这次捐书活动的名字是“Pages of Friendship”。 48．根据文章第3段“Every month, they carefully packed and sent a box of 50 books.”可知，城市学生每个月给乡村学校寄送50本书。 49．根据文章第3段“To make the connection more meaningful, they also wrote letters to the village children, sharing good books and their own school life stories.”可知，除了寄书，城市学生还给乡村孩子写信，分享好书和自己的校园生活故事。 50．根据文章第3段“The village children wrote back with drawings and their thoughts about the books, expressing their excitement and thankfulness.”可知，乡村孩子回信附上画作以及对书本的想法，表达激动与感激之情。 四、写作。(本大题共3大题，共30分) 第一节 短文填空(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) （25-26八年级上·广东广州·期中）根据短文的内容及首字母提示写出文中所缺单词。 This is the Newcomen’s engine, which was invented in 1712 by Thomas Newcomen.

They share feelings with the chatbot and receive warm advice. This practice, known as “AI therapy (疗法),” is becoming popular online. But can robots really replace human therapists? Around the world. 45 percent of people who needed care in 2024 did not get it because it was too costly or there weren’t enough doctors. Daniel Lowd, a professor at the University of Oregon, believes AI could help fill this gap. “If people can find some support and ideas by talking to ChatGPT or chatbot, then I think that’s wonderful,” Lowd told Newsweek. Li Yong, a doctor at the Jiangsu Province Hospital, agreed with Lowd, saying that AI meets people’s basic needs for emotional support to a point. However, AI has its disadvantages. Human therapists understand feelings deeply through face-to-face talks and create treatment plans—something robots can’t fully copy. Dr. LiuYang, a psychologist (心理学家), notes “An AI might recognize keywords like ‘divorce’, but it cannot find out small changes in tone or body language”. This point becomes important when dealing with a series of situations, where misunderstandings could be dangerous. Another problem is safety. AI cannot match the level of responsibility that human therapists have. Experts believe the key to safe AI therapy is strict government control. For example, Wysa, an AI mental health app, follows strict medical standards in the UK. Data privacy appears as another large concern (担忧). Users usually share personal details on AI platforms, yet few companies clearly state how this information is stored or used. As AI becomes part of daily life, finding a balance between its benefits and risks is important. While AI offers quick help, human connection remains irreplaceable for serious emotional needs. 21．What makes people turn to “AI therapy”? A．That AI therapy is warmer. B．That people feel much pressure. C．That AI tools are free. D．That DeepSeek is popular. 22．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．The government control. B．The AI tool. C．The medical standard. D．Mental health care. 23．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．AI therapy is nicer and cheaper than human therapists. B．AI robots will soon replace human therapists in hospitals. C．AI has limits in understanding deep emotions and safety risks. D．AI can perfectly copy human therapists’ skills and methods. 24．Why does the writer mention the Wysa app? A．To explain why China needs more therapists. B．To prove robots can deal with emergencies. C．To show AI is cheaper than human doctors. D．To give an example of safe AI under rules. 25．What is the writer’s attitude toward AI therapy? A．Fully supportive. B．Completely against. C．Mixed and fair. D．Doesn’t care. B （25-26八年级上·广东广州·期中）Samuel lived in a small village near a big mountain. He was an ordinary man, but he had big dreams and a heart full of hope. Even if life was not easy for him, he always believed hard work could change everything. Every day, Samuel looked at the mountain. It stood high and strong, making him want to be strong too. One day, Samuel decided to climb the mountain. The villagers laughed at him. “You can’t do it” they said. However, Samuel didn’t let their mockery (嘲笑) stop him. With strong determination, he began his journey up the mountain. The path was tough, with steep slopes (山坡), slippery rocks, and unpredictable weather making the journey rather dangerous.

C （25-26八年级上·广东广州·期中）The third month of the school year has now arrived. Have you paid attention to how, when we talk about numbers, we naturally think of the number three? In some ways, “three” is a number that has magical powers. If you are a close observer of life, you should have found that this number is all around us. Everything has a beginning, a middle and an end. We eat three meals a day. Traffic lights all over the world use three colors: red, yellow and green. And there is the rule of three. It is an age-old writing technique. According to this rule, things can always become more satisfying to readers if they come in threes. Did you know that the world’s most powerful brands use the rule of three to enhance their marketing? Just do it. I’m loving it. Coke is it. All of these famous slogans are three words long. (And perhaps you have realized that we have only offered three examples. Well, in many articles, examples often come in threes.) (Including this one, it’s four). But what is it about the number three that makes it so magical? Well, we know that the human brain is very complex. However, it enjoys thinking in patterns. It is always trying to find structure in seemingly unrelated information. What’s more, if there are no patterns, our brains will create them. And three is the smallest number needed to form a pattern. As the old saying goes, “Once is luck, twice is coincidence and three times is a pattern.” Moreover, our brains can only remember a little information at any given moment. An audience member will usually only remember three things from a speech. Do you want something in your presentation to stick in your audience’s minds? Put it forward to them in groups of three. If we properly use the rule of three in our daily lives, we can make many things easier. For example, many people like to add lots of tasks to their to-do lists. Experts, however, suggest they should limit themselves to just three tasks. These top three tasks should be hard enough to be challenging while still being achievable. And the next time you are making New Year’s resolutions, consider listing only three things to work on. The longer your list is, ________! 31．What example does the author list to explain the rule of three in marketing? A．People have three meals eaten daily. B．Three types of advertising methods. C．Three different colors in traffic lights. D．Three slogans that all have three words. 32．What does the underlined word “pattern” mean? A．A design made from repeated lines, shapes, or colours. B．A drawing or shape used to show how to make things. C．A particular way in which something is done or organized. D．A small piece taken from something to show what it is like. 33．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．People naturally trust the messages more if they are only three words long. B．The number three is powerful because it represents a symbol of good luck. C．The human brain requires exactly three elements to recognize any kind of pattern. D．Big brands mainly use three-word slogans because they are easier to remember. 34．Which of the following best fits the blank in the last paragraph? A．the less likely you are to keep it B．the more productive you will be C．the happier you will feel next year D．the better you can manage your time 35．Where can you probably read the passage? A．In a school textbook on social studies. B．In a science report about brain research. C．In a business newspaper on marketing. D．In a magazine about language and life. 第二节 阅读填空(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) （25-26八年级上·广东广州·期中）阅读短文及文后A-E选项， 选出可以填入下面各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Have you ever wondered why the letters on a keyboard are not in “ABC” order? The keyboard we use every day is called the QWERTY keyboard layout (布局). Q, W, E, R, T, Y are the first six letters on this layout, starting from the top left. 36 The first manual typewriter (手动打字机), with a keyboard which looked like a piano, was invented in the late 19th century. 37 However, it was later discovered that as the typing speed increased, some keys failed to come back to their places quickly. As a result, they got jammed (卡住) very easily. 38 To solve this problem, the QWERTY keyboard was developed. It placed keys in such a way that the most used letters were spaced out so that the keys were more likely to work freely. 39 With the arrival of the computer, the typists in offices were the same people who were to now operate computers. This meant the typists had to be trained to use the new device. 40 It was easier to design the keyboards following the layout of typewriters, which was the QWERTY layout, and this continues even today. A．But training required too much time and money. B．However, another problem came about in the 1940s. C．These typewriters did have the ABC keyboard layout. D．To understand why we went with QWERTY, we need to go back in history. E．Most typists ended up breaking the typewriter altogether when separating the keys. 三、项目情境题(读写综合)。(本大题共2大题，共20分) 第一节 信息匹配(本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) （25-26八年级上·广东深圳·期中）下面的材料A-F分别是六个百科网站的简介。请根据以下五个人的任务，选择最适合他们的网站，并在答题卡上将相应的字母编号涂黑。 41 Maggie is leading a low-cost, healthy lunch program. 42 Ben is making an art poster about Dunhuang cave paintings. 43 Henry is writing a report on the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty. 44 Zoe is studying bird species in Shenzhen Bay for a school project. 45 Fiona is comparing the weather in Guangzhou and Harbin.

Their school library was almost empty. A group of students from a city middle school learned about this and decided to take action. They started a book drive called “Pages of Friendship”. First, they made posters and gave speeches in their school to encourage book donations. They collected used books from their own homes, classmates, and neighbours. Then they put the books into different groups: storybooks for primary students, science and history books for older children, and colourful picture books for the youngest readers. After that, they worked with their teachers to contact the village school and plan how to send the books. Every month, they carefully packed and sent a box of 50 books. To make the connection more meaningful, they also wrote letters to the village children, sharing good books and their own school life stories. The village children wrote back with drawings and their thoughts about the books, expressing their excitement and thankfulness. One student wrote, “These books are like windows to a bigger world that I’ve never seen before.” The project not only provided books for children, but also built a bridge of friendship between city and village students. 46．What was the village school’s library like at first? 47．What is the name of the book drive? 48．How many books do the city students send to the village school every month? 49．What else did the city students do besides sending books? 50．What did the village children write back to the city students? 四、写作。(本大题共3大题，共30分) 第一节 短文填空(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) （25-26八年级上·广东广州·期中）根据短文的内容及首字母提示写出文中所缺单词。 This is the Newcomen’s engine, which was invented in 1712 by Thomas Newcomen.
