While it comes from the traditional Chinese calendar, the festival has been celebrated specially in different countries, showing different cultural spirits and practices. In China, the Mid-Autumn Festival is connected with mooncakes, family reunions (团圆) and moon watching. Mooncakes, often filled with different kinds of food, such as red beans, meat and so on, stand for getting together with each other. Lantern displays and dragon dances create a special environment during the festival, while families stay together to enjoy the full moon, a symbol of family love and prosperity (繁荣). Vietnam celebrates the festival as Tet Trung Thu, or the Children’s Festival. Here, they mainly pay attention to children, who wear colorful masks and take part in lively parades. Lion dances and lantern shows light up the streets, and families enjoy mooncakes and fruit together to remember their ancestors (祖先). The festival is also a time to express happiness for the harvest. In Korea, the festival is known as Chuseok, a major harvest celebration. Families remember their ancestors by visiting graves and having rituals (典礼). Traditional foods like songpyeon, crescent-shaped (月牙形的) cakes filled with vegetables, are shared among loved ones. Folk games, dances, and storytelling add a common spirit to the celebrations. In Japan’s Tsukimi or “moon-viewing”, people provide rice dumplings, pampas grass, and seasonal food to respect the moon and express joy for the harvest. Mooncakes are not just for eating; they are also used to thank nature and the moonlit night. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a symbol of Asia’s rich culture. Though the celebrations are different in forms and focuses, the meanings of family, thankfulness, and peace stay the same, calling people in different places to enjoy the same glow of the full moon. 24. In which country do children take part in lively parades with colorful masks? A. China B. Vietnam C. Korea D. Japan 25. Which is the correct match of the country and its celebration? A. China — Lantern displays and Lion dances. B. Vietnam — visiting graves and having rituals. C. Korea — family reunions and moon watching. D. Japan — eating rice dumplings and seasonal food. 26. Which of the following is the best title of this article? A. Asia under the Same Full Moon B. Mid-Autumn Festival around the World C. A Traditional Chinese Festival D. Different Celebrations of Mid-Autumn Festival C Mrs. Rachel Lynde was a curious (好奇的) woman. She knew everything about Avonlea. Mrs. Rachel lived in a part of Avonlea called Lynde’s Hollow. She saw everyone coming into town and everyone going out. Mrs. Rachel was more curious than most people but she was also very helpful. Today she was very curious about Matthew Cuthbert. Matthew was dressed in his best clothes and he was-driving his horse and buggy (马车) past her house. “Where is Matthew Cuthbert going?” she asked. “I can go to Green Gables and ask Marilla,” she thought. Marilla was Matthew’s sister. Marilla and Matthew lived together at Green Gables. Green Gables was a big house. It was far from the main road. Mrs. Rachel knocked on the kitchen door and went into the house. The kitchen at Green Gables was a nice room but it was too tidy. Marilla Cuthbert was in her chair knitting and the table behind her was set for supper. There were three plates on the table. Mrs. Rachel was very confused (迷惑不解的). “Good evening Rachel,” Marilla said kindly. “Come in and sit down. How is your family?” Marilla was a tall, thin woman. She had dark hair. She looked like a severe woman but her mouth was soft. Maybe she laughed sometimes. The women were very different but they were friends. “We’re all quite well,” said Mrs. Rachel. “But I thought that you weren’t well because I saw Matthew leaving today. Was he going to the doctor’s?” Marilla replied patiently, “Oh, no, we’re quite well. Matthew went to Bright River. We’re getting a little boy from an orphanage (孤儿院) in Nova Scotia and he’s coming on the train this evening.” Mrs. Rachel was so shocked that she wasn’t able to speak for five seconds. — Ann of Green Gables selection 27.

Rachel wanted to get a little boy from an orphanage too. D In the 1960s, a musical group composed a popular song called Monday, Monday: “Every other day of the week is fine, yeah. But whenever Monday comes, you can find me crying all of the time.” When talking about days of the week, Monday gets little expectation (期待). I asked friends which day of the week they like the least, and 90 percent of my friends chose Monday. Not one person thought of Monday as his or her favourite day. ① First of all, think of all the good things that happen on Mondays. If you are a sports fan, you may get to watch Monday Night Football in the fall. Moreover, quite a few public holidays are celebrated on Mondays. That means that several times a year, a Monday provides a three-day weekend. And Monday is the best day to do shopping because there aren’t as many people shopping on the first day of the workweek. ② To me, there’s something even more important about Mondays. Each Monday stands for a new beginning. For example, last week I got behind on my homework and had to spend the weekend catching up. But as soon as Monday arrived, I had a clean slate. Another week I forgot to do some of my chores, so I had to give up going to a movie with my friends on the weekend. But as soon as Monday arrived, I could start all over again. ③ I also love Mondays because we usually start new lessons at school at the beginning of the week. While last week’s topics may have been boring, Monday can bring a new book to read or maths problems to work out. Besides, I always become full of energy on Mondays after getting enough sleep at weekends. I know that I am probably not going to make everyone believe that Monday is the best day of the week, but hopefully I can encourage a few people to change. The next time a Monday comes, think about all the good things that could happen and look forward to the day instead of fearing it. ④ There’s no way to avoid (避开) Mondays, so join me in making the best of them. Who knows? You might even start liking the first day of the workweek. 31. Why did the song Monday, Monday become popular? A. Because people enjoyed being warmed up by the song. B. Because the song encouraged people to like Mondays. C. Because the song expressed how people disliked Mondays. D. Because the song made people cry all of the time. 32. What does “a clean slate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. a good rest B. a sudden stop C. a new lesson D. a fresh start 33. Where can we best put “But in fact, I think that Monday is really the best day of the week.”? A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 34. What is the best title of the passage? A. To find out Mondays’ secrets B. To make the best of Mondays C. To turn Mondays into holidays D. To improve yourself on Mondays 四、信息还原（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 请阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，有两项为多余选项。 Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last very long. 35 You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding. Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. 36 Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, of course. Instead you have to learn how to share things you enjoy, your hobbies and interests. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. 37 They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know you better. Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. 38 So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better. 39 But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friendships, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding. A. To have a friend, you must learn to be a friend. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C. No two friendships are ever exactly similar. D. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. E. These can be valuable to a friend. F. Good friends always trust one another to speak and act honestly. G. It is not easy to make new friends in a big city. 五、词汇检测（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 根据下列句子所给汉语注释或首字母提示填入适当的单词，每空限填一词。 40.

She 55 (become) China’s first PhD (博士) in the suona. Her journey to that achievement was hard but meaningful. In fact, Liu was born to pick up the suona. Nearly everyone in her family 56 (play) this instrument, and the tradition goes back to about two hundred years ago. In primary school, Liu had to get up at 4 a.m. every day to practise the suona in a garden near her home. After school, she practised at home too. “It was 57 (noise),” Liu says. “I still remember my parents always arguing with our neighbors.” When Liu was eight, her mother, Liu Hongmei, began taking her to bigger cities like Beijing to learn from well-known musicians. They would take the late train and arrive in Beijing in the middle of the night. 58 (save) money, they would rest in the underpasses (地下通道) of Chang’an Street until it was time for her lesson the next morning. Things got better from the 59 (two) year of middle school. Liu finally had a regular teacher, the famous suona player Liu Ying. Liu Ying taught her for free until she got into the Shanghai Conservatory of Music after 60 (complete) high school. That was 61 new start! She picked up new skills and gained a further understanding of the suona. It was not the most popular instrument among students of her age, but she was proud to play it. Liu has performed (表演) at many big events. One of the most unforgettable was when she performed with the famous composer Tan Dun in Australia in 2017. She played the most famous suona piece — A Hundred Birds Paving Homage to the Phoenix (《百鸟朝凤》) and surprised the Sydney Opera House with 62 (cheer) bird-like sounds. 63 October 15, 2024, she played the piece again in France. Those sounds should be heard by more people. For that goal, Liu has tried many new ways to mix suona art with modern music. “I believe we should 64 (be) open-minded and try new things,” she says. 八、阅读表达（共3小题；65题2分，66题2分，67题3分，满分7分） Working Out through Online Videos Physical exercise is good for our mind, body and spirit. Today, working out through online videos is becoming very popular. Since the Internet is widely used, it’s very easy for us to do so. That means we can work out anytime anywhere. One of my friends, Lin Fei, followed short workout videos to do daily exercise. “With live programs, I feel like working out with my friends, which encourages me to hold on to the last minute.” she said. Another friend of mine, Michael, told me that workout videos let him feel so comfortable. “I have a fear of working out at the gym (健身房) because I don’t like being watched by others. Working out at home makes working out much more enjoyable.” he said. With their examples, I decided to give it a try. When I told my plan to my elder sister, a P. E. teacher, she reminded me that workout videos could be helpful but might still carry some problems. “Without being with someone in person, you will be less willing to work out to your best. Working out at the gym allows you to have advice in real time and get pushed harder.” my sister said to me. “Well, if you really want to have a try, first, choose proper programs or videos. That’s very important. And then ask your friends for advice. Their experiences can give you a good insight into what you can expect. Anyway, don’t be addicted (沉迷的) to it. You should try different ways to work out to be healthy.” At her suggestions, I finally followed an online workout program with personalized help that is held for three months. After the first period of training, I felt it very practical and helpful. But it could be difficult sometimes when I was too lazy or too busy to stick to it. Still, I think online workout videos are a good choice as long as we use them properly and don’t give up too easily. 65. Why does Michael dislike working out at the gym? 66. What did the writer think of the online workout program he followed? 67. Would you like to work out through online videos or at the gym? Why? 九、书面表达（共1题；满分15分） 假设你是阳光中学八年级的学生李华，你的美国笔友John给你发来以下邮件，请认真阅读并用英文给 John回一封邮件。 Dear Li Hua, How are you? Thank you for sharing so much with me. I know you have a colourful school life in Grade 8.
