There was no...”可知，他喊了之后没人回答，answer“回答”符合语境。person“人”；time“时间”，均不符合“没有回答”的语境。 7．句意：他记得父母告诉过他，没有确认是谁就不要开门。 根据“not to open the door...checking who it is”可知，这里表示“没有确认就不要开门”，without“没有”符合语境。with“和”；after“在……之后”，均不符合“未确认前不开门”的安全叮嘱。 8．句意：他决定先让自己为一种不愉快的情况做好准备。 根据上文门铃反复响起且无人应答、Karthik感到害怕可知，他准备应对不愉快的情况，unpleasant“不愉快的”符合语境。comfortable“舒适的”；forgetful“健忘的”，均不符合紧张氛围下的准备。 9．句意：他一只手握着棒球棒，准备用另一只手开门。 be ready to do sth.“准备做某事”为固定搭配，ready“准备好的”符合语境。regular“规则的”；familiar“熟悉的”，均不符合“准备开门”的语境。 10．句意：然后他的父亲给了他一个大大的微笑，也许理解了Karthik的窘境。 根据“perhaps understanding Karthik’s predicament”可知，父亲理解他并给予微笑，smile“微笑”符合语境。smell“气味”；lift“举起”，均不符合父亲理解孩子后的温暖举动。 （25-26八年级上·湖南永州·期中）In a small town near the beach lived two best friends, Sarah and Emily.

It will take us four hours to get there by train. Then we will catch a bus to Chiang Rai. Tuesday, March 28th Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The villagers here love the quiet life—no computers or phones. They are very kind. They always smile and say “hello”.

There are thousands of tulou across Fujian, with Yongding being home to 1,768 of them. They were built by the Hakka people (客家人), a group who moved from China’s central plains (中原) to the mountains in the south to avoid wars centuries ago. Have you ever dreamed of spending a day living in a tulou? Now, that dream can come true. Shengheng Lou (升恒楼), a tulou in Yongding with nearly four centuries of history, has now become a hotel. It has been turned from an old building into a fine hotel with lots of money put into it. Last year, around 5,000 guests stayed in the hotel. Lin Hui, the manager, understands the building and its history. She was born in 1986 inside the walls of another tulou in Yongding. According to Lin, the building will become weak if it is no longer in use. Every space in a tulou is connected, so if one room becomes weak, the nearby rooms can also fall. The rebuilding fixed the old problems and also added important things like toilets. Steel was added to make the mostly wooden building stronger. In Fujian, 46 tulou were listed as UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) World Heritage Sites (世界遗产) in 2018 because of their historical value, including 23 tulou in Yongding. Lin Shangkang, a 52-year-old local man, lives in another World Heritage site, Zhencheng Lou (振成楼). He works as a tour guide to his home. “I never get tired of telling visitors about the history of this place; I enjoy it,” Lin said. His great-grandfather and his brothers built the building a century ago. Today, the tulou is still home to 18 families. Together, there are about 80 people living there. Zeng Jieshan, a 16-year-old high school student from Shenzhen, Guangdong, traveled four hours by train to experience the tulou up close. “I used to think ancient buildings were mostly temples or royal palaces, like the Forbidden City,” Zeng said. “But here in the tulou, people still live happily.” 1．How many tulou are there in Yongding? A．1,768 B．5,000 C．46 2．When did they list 46 tulou as World Heritage Sites? A．In 2023. B．In 2020. C．In 2018. 3．What influence can we know from the listing of tulou as UNESCO World Heritage Sites? A．The number of people living in tulou dropped a lot. B．The tourism value of tulou went up. C．The architectural style of tulou changed little by little. 4．Why was steel put in when the tulou was rebuilt? A．To make the tulou look better. B．To make the tulou stronger against earthquakes. C．To make the mostly wooden parts stronger. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了福建土楼的历史背景、现存数量、列入世界遗产的时间、建筑加固改造细节以及当地居民和游客对土楼的体验与保护。 1．原文第二段“There are thousands of tulou across Fujian, with Yongding being home to 1,768 of them.”，由此可知永定有1768座土楼。 2．原文第六段“In Fujian, 46 tulou were listed as UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) World Heritage Sites (世界遗产) in 2018”，由此可知46座土楼在2018年被列入世界遗产。 3．原文第六段提到当地人担任导游向游客介绍土楼历史、土楼改造为酒店接待宾客，由此可推断土楼列入世界遗产后，旅游价值得到提升。 4．原文第五段“Steel was added to make the mostly wooden building stronger.”，由此可知重建土楼时加入钢材，目的是让这座以木质为主的建筑更加坚固。 （25-26八年级上·湖南湘潭·期中）Is there anybody who likes doing housework? Should children help out around the house? For some children, doing housework may be the last thing they want to do. For many parents, getting their children to help with housework is also one big headache(头疼). However, Nurafiza, a Malaysian mother found a creative way. Nurafiza came up with a reward (奖励) system (系统) for her two sons at home. She made a list (清单) of housework for her kids and gave them money for every task they had finished. The list of housework included cleaning up the house and putting away their toys for RM 50 each, doing the dishes for RM 80, and even not fighting with each other for RM 10 to RM 15. Nurafiza also opened a “mini mart (迷你超市)” at home for kids to spend the money in. Her three-year-old and six-year-old sons could buy snacks at her “mini mart” which was open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The money she gave to her kids was fake (假的) cash, which she had bought online. Because of this system, both of her children are glad to help with housework. Her Facebook post has got over 15,000 likes and has been shared over 27,000 times. Many parents have begun to imitate her. They use the same way to discipline (管教) their children. In fact, doing housework plays an important role in children’s development (发展). First, housework teaches children basic (基本的) skills for living, like cooking and cleaning. Second, doing housework is a good way to exercise children’s bodies.

Should children help out around the house?”可知，文章开头是通过提出两个问题来引入话题的。 2．根据第二段“Her three-year-old and six-year-old sons could buy snacks at her ‘mini mart’ which was open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.”可知，迷你超市从上午10点营业到晚上8点，时长为十个小时。 3．根据第三段“They use the same way to discipline their children.”可知，其他父母用同样的方式管教孩子，即模仿这位母亲的做法，所以该词意为“模仿”。 4．根据最后一段“In fact, doing housework plays an important role in children’s development.”及后续列举的三点好处可知，本段主要阐述了孩子应该做家务的原因。 （25-26八年级上·湖南永州·期中）Now some women are spending a weekend at Mother’s Camp. There, husbands and children are not allowed. Why would a woman want to take a vacation without her family? Some women say they need time to be alone. At Mother’s Camp a woman has room to herself. She can sleep, read or watch TV, and no one will bother her. No children will ask, “Mom, what’s for dinner?” No husband will say, “Oh, dear, I can’t find any clean socks.” In fact, almost 50% of women in the United States work outside the home. Many of them work full-time and then come home to a second job——taking care of their homes and families. These working women say one of their biggest problems is housework. In the United States, working women do about 75% of the housework. Many of their husbands say they want to help. But then they burn the rice or they can’t find the pans. They ask so many questions that their wives decide it is easier to do the job themselves. Some women go to Mother’s Camp just to get a break from housework. For two days they don’t cook, they don’t clean, they don’t look after their children or husbands. What do they do? They enjoy warm, sunny weather, walking, swimming or boating in a clear blue lake and singing songs around the campfire. They relax away from home.

We all need to share happiness and sadness with our friends. Friends also help us grow. We learn from each other and become better through friendships. However, some people find it hard to make friends. Why? A new study from the University of Chicago shows that these people feel unsafe when they meet people they don’t know well. They are afraid to talk to new people. But don’t worry. There are some ways to solve these problems. First, we should be brave enough to step out of our comfort zones (舒适圈). Second, we should accept social invitations, even if we don’t really want to. Making friends online is not enough for most people to develop true friends. Finally, we need to take action actively. As the old saying goes, “Actions speak louder than words.” We need to talk to others actively 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. In this way, you can meet people whose hobbies are the same as yours. 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 find good friends. 1．What can friends help us according to the passage? ①Become a better person.         ②Become more and more popular. ③Go through happy and sad moments.     ④Learn from each other.

Before the sun rises, they start making noise—like a lively morning party! There are about 10,000 species (种类) of birds in the world. Songbirds make up nearly half of them. They usually start singing as early as 4 a.m. Do you know why birds start singing so early? Firstly, they sing to find a mate (配偶). Birds choose mates by their songs because a good song means a healthy and strong mate. Birds also sing to let others know who’s around and where their homes are. Each bird has its own way of singing. One bird might sing “tweet-tweet-trill”, while another goes “chirp-chirp-peep”. There was a common idea that birds sang a lot in the morning because there was less wind and air movement during the time so that their sounds could travel farther. But this idea was disproven (被推翻) by scientists in 2003. They played recorded bird songs during the morning and at noon. The study found that morning songs didn’t travel farther, but the quiet morning air made them sound clearer—like when you are talking in a quiet room! Next time you hear birds singing in the morning, remember, they’re not just making noise. They’re talking to each other, looking for love, and protecting their home. 1．What’s probably the number of songbird species? A．About 5,000. B．About 7,000. C．About 10,000. 2．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．Birds’ different ways of singing. B．Why birds sing early in the morning. C．The differences between bird songs. 3．The 2003 study found __________. A．morning bird songs sound clearer because it’s quieter around B．birds sing louder at noon than in the morning C．bird songs travel farther in the morning 4．Why did the writer write the passage? A．To compare different bird species. B．To describe a special experience. C．To explain a fun thing. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了鸟儿清晨鸣叫的相关知识，说明了鸣禽的种类数量、鸟儿早起鸣叫的目的，还介绍了一项2003年的研究，解释清晨鸟鸣听起来更清晰的原因。 1．原文第二段“There are about 10,000 species of birds in the world. Songbirds make up nearly half of them.”，全世界鸟类约10000种，鸣禽几乎占一半，计算可得大约5000种。 2．原文第三段“Do you know why birds start singing so early?”，整段围绕鸟儿清晨鸣叫的原因展开。 3．原文第四段“The study found that morning songs didn’t travel farther, but the quiet morning air made them sound clearer—like when you are talking in a quiet room!”，研究发现清晨安静的空气让鸟鸣听起来更清晰。 4．通读全文，文章介绍鸟儿清晨鸣叫这件有趣的自然现象，解释相关知识。 （25-26八年级上·湖南湘西·期中）Chickens are common but very important animals. Their eggs and meat help feed many people every day. But did you know that people have been keeping chickens for thousands of years? Chickens came from a wild (野生的) bird called the red junglefowl (原鸡) . This bird lived mainly in Southeast Asia. About 4,000 years ago, people in Thailand began feeding these birds. Later, they took them to other parts of the world, like Africa and Europe. At first, people did not eat chickens. They saw them as special pets. But they soon found out how palatable a chicken could be. Around 400 BC, people in Israel started eating chickens more often. After that, people across Europe, Asia and Africa began raising (养殖) chickens on farms. Chickens came to North America much later. A few arrived from South America before the 10th century (世纪) . But many more came with the European people in the 1500s. In the US, chicken meat was once for rich people. During the Great Depression (大萧条时期) , poor families began raising chickens too. Later, new ways to feed chickens helped farmers raise them safely in great numbers. Now, there are over 30 billion (十亿) chickens in the world! That’s more than any other kind of bird. Chickens may not fly in the sky, but they have flown into kitchens all around the world! 1．Where did chickens come from? A．Africa. B．Southeast Asia.

So many parents want to know if they should let their children do chores. Well, there’s no need to worry. 1 First, doing chores helps children learn to be independent. Parents can’t stay by their children’s side all the time. 2 And these skills will help them be ready for the day when they go to college or take care of their own houses. 3 When children finish a chore, they will not only take pride in (感到自豪) a job well done but also have confidence in their ability to do things well. Third, doing chores makes it possible for children to develop good relationships with their family, friends and partners. Doing chores together with family can make children care more about their family.

It grows to about half the size of the American black bear. An adult sun bear is from 1 to 1.4 meters long and weighs from 25 to 65 kilos. The name “sun bear” comes from the U-shaped mark on its chest (胸膛). This kind of bear is also known as the “honey bear” because of its love of honey. It has a soft nose and a long tongue. The tongue can be up to 25 cm long. It is long enough to reach honeycombs for honey. The sun bear mainly lives in the rainforests of Southeast Asia. It is not a big meat-eater. It feeds on sweet fruit, honey, eggs, birds and other small animals. Unlike other bears, the sun bear doesn’t hibernate (冬眠) because it is easy for it to get food all year round. With only 600 to 1,000 left in the wild in the rainforests of Southeast Asia, the sun bear is in great danger now. The rainforests where sun bears live are becoming smaller and smaller because people are cutting down trees and using the land for farming. The bears are also killed because their meat is delicious. People also like to keep young sun bears as pets so they kill the mother bears. So the sun bear needs our help. 1．How much does an adult sun bear weigh? 2．Where does the sun bear mainly live? 3．Why are sun bears’ habitats (栖息地) becoming smaller and smaller? 4．As a student, what can you do to save sun bears? 5．将短文中划线的句子翻译成中文。 【答案】1．It weighs from 25 to 65 kilos./From 25 to 65 kilos. 2．In the rainforests of Southeast Asia. 3．Because people are cutting down trees and using the land for farming. 4．I can put up notices to tell people the importance of sun bears and ask people to protect them./I can ask people not to kill them.

There are thousands of tulou across Fujian, with Yongding being home to 1,768 of them. They were built by the Hakka people (客家人), a group who moved from China’s central plains (中原) to the mountains in the south to avoid wars centuries ago. Have you ever dreamed of spending a day living in a tulou? Now, that dream can come true. Shengheng Lou (升恒楼), a tulou in Yongding with nearly four centuries of history, has now become a hotel. It has been turned from an old building into a fine hotel with lots of money put into it. Last year, around 5,000 guests stayed in the hotel. Lin Hui, the manager, understands the building and its history. She was born in 1986 inside the walls of another tulou in Yongding. According to Lin, the building will become weak if it is no longer in use. Every space in a tulou is connected, so if one room becomes weak, the nearby rooms can also fall. The rebuilding fixed the old problems and also added important things like toilets. Steel was added to make the mostly wooden building stronger. In Fujian, 46 tulou were listed as UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) World Heritage Sites (世界遗产) in 2018 because of their historical value, including 23 tulou in Yongding. Lin Shangkang, a 52-year-old local man, lives in another World Heritage site, Zhencheng Lou (振成楼). He works as a tour guide to his home. “I never get tired of telling visitors about the history of this place; I enjoy it,” Lin said. His great-grandfather and his brothers built the building a century ago. Today, the tulou is still home to 18 families. Together, there are about 80 people living there. Zeng Jieshan, a 16-year-old high school student from Shenzhen, Guangdong, traveled four hours by train to experience the tulou up close. “I used to think ancient buildings were mostly temples or royal palaces, like the Forbidden City,” Zeng said. “But here in the tulou, people still live happily.” 1．How many tulou are there in Yongding? A．1,768 B．5,000 C．46 2．When did they list 46 tulou as World Heritage Sites? A．In 2023. B．In 2020. C．In 2018. 3．What influence can we know from the listing of tulou as UNESCO World Heritage Sites? A．The number of people living in tulou dropped a lot. B．The tourism value of tulou went up. C．The architectural style of tulou changed little by little. 4．Why was steel put in when the tulou was rebuilt? A．To make the tulou look better. B．To make the tulou stronger against earthquakes. C．To make the mostly wooden parts stronger. （25-26八年级上·湖南湘潭·期中）Is there anybody who likes doing housework? Should children help out around the house? For some children, doing housework may be the last thing they want to do. For many parents, getting their children to help with housework is also one big headache(头疼). However, Nurafiza, a Malaysian mother found a creative way. Nurafiza came up with a reward (奖励) system (系统) for her two sons at home. She made a list (清单) of housework for her kids and gave them money for every task they had finished. The list of housework included cleaning up the house and putting away their toys for RM 50 each, doing the dishes for RM 80, and even not fighting with each other for RM 10 to RM 15. Nurafiza also opened a “mini mart (迷你超市)” at home for kids to spend the money in. Her three-year-old and six-year-old sons could buy snacks at her “mini mart” which was open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The money she gave to her kids was fake (假的) cash, which she had bought online. Because of this system, both of her children are glad to help with housework. Her Facebook post has got over 15,000 likes and has been shared over 27,000 times. Many parents have begun to imitate her. They use the same way to discipline (管教) their children. In fact, doing housework plays an important role in children’s development (发展).

Why would a woman want to take a vacation without her family? Some women say they need time to be alone. At Mother’s Camp a woman has room to herself. She can sleep, read or watch TV, and no one will bother her. No children will ask, “Mom, what’s for dinner?” No husband will say, “Oh, dear, I can’t find any clean socks.” In fact, almost 50% of women in the United States work outside the home. Many of them work full-time and then come home to a second job——taking care of their homes and families. These working women say one of their biggest problems is housework. In the United States, working women do about 75% of the housework. Many of their husbands say they want to help. But then they burn the rice or they can’t find the pans. They ask so many questions that their wives decide it is easier to do the job themselves. Some women go to Mother’s Camp just to get a break from housework. For two days they don’t cook, they don’t clean, they don’t look after their children or husbands. What do they do? They enjoy warm, sunny weather, walking, swimming or boating in a clear blue lake and singing songs around the campfire. They relax away from home.

Friends also help us grow. We learn from each other and become better through friendships. However, some people find it hard to make friends. Why? A new study from the University of Chicago shows that these people feel unsafe when they meet people they don’t know well. They are afraid to talk to new people. But don’t worry. There are some ways to solve these problems. First, we should be brave enough to step out of our comfort zones (舒适圈). Second, we should accept social invitations, even if we don’t really want to. Making friends online is not enough for most people to develop true friends. Finally, we need to take action actively. As the old saying goes, “Actions speak louder than words.” We need to talk to others actively 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. In this way, you can meet people whose hobbies are the same as yours. We should keep trying to make friends. It may be hard at first.

Before the sun rises, they start making noise—like a lively morning party! There are about 10,000 species (种类) of birds in the world. Songbirds make up nearly half of them. They usually start singing as early as 4 a.m. Do you know why birds start singing so early? Firstly, they sing to find a mate (配偶). Birds choose mates by their songs because a good song means a healthy and strong mate. Birds also sing to let others know who’s around and where their homes are. Each bird has its own way of singing. One bird might sing “tweet-tweet-trill”, while another goes “chirp-chirp-peep”. There was a common idea that birds sang a lot in the morning because there was less wind and air movement during the time so that their sounds could travel farther. But this idea was disproven (被推翻) by scientists in 2003. They played recorded bird songs during the morning and at noon. The study found that morning songs didn’t travel farther, but the quiet morning air made them sound clearer—like when you are talking in a quiet room! Next time you hear birds singing in the morning, remember, they’re not just making noise. They’re talking to each other, looking for love, and protecting their home. 1．What’s probably the number of songbird species? A．About 5,000. B．About 7,000. C．About 10,000. 2．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．Birds’ different ways of singing. B．Why birds sing early in the morning. C．The differences between bird songs. 3．The 2003 study found __________. A．morning bird songs sound clearer because it’s quieter around B．birds sing louder at noon than in the morning C．bird songs travel farther in the morning 4．Why did the writer write the passage? A．To compare different bird species. B．To describe a special experience. C．To explain a fun thing. （25-26八年级上·湖南湘西·期中）Chickens are common but very important animals. Their eggs and meat help feed many people every day. But did you know that people have been keeping chickens for thousands of years? Chickens came from a wild (野生的) bird called the red junglefowl (原鸡) . This bird lived mainly in Southeast Asia. About 4,000 years ago, people in Thailand began feeding these birds. Later, they took them to other parts of the world, like Africa and Europe. At first, people did not eat chickens. They saw them as special pets.

After that, people across Europe, Asia and Africa began raising (养殖) chickens on farms. Chickens came to North America much later. A few arrived from South America before the 10th century (世纪) . But many more came with the European people in the 1500s. In the US, chicken meat was once for rich people. During the Great Depression (大萧条时期) , poor families began raising chickens too.

An adult sun bear is from 1 to 1.4 meters long and weighs from 25 to 65 kilos. The name “sun bear” comes from the U-shaped mark on its chest (胸膛).
