When China opened the astronaut selection (for Hong Kong and Macao in 2022,Li saw a chance to make her space dream come true and bravely decided to give it a try.Since she was no longer young,she faced huge challenges.She competed with about 120 other people from Hong Kong and finally passed three strict tests in health,skills and mental fitness.In June 2024,she was selected as one of China's new astronauts. ★_.In the centrifuge test(离心测试)，she could not see clearly at first,.but she kept holding on.She also completed many difficult training tasks,such as going without sleep for 72 hours, staying in a hot desert for 48 hours and living in the dark for days.With her teammates'help,she got through those physical tests.Putonghua was another big challenge,so she kept practising and learned from her teammates again and again. After more than a year of hard training,Li became a member of the Shenzhou-23 team and carried out space tasks on the Tiangong space station.She told teenagers,"Wherever you come from,dreams are never far away.Keep trying,and your dreams will come true." 56.What does the underlined word"seed"refer to in paragraph 1?

C People have tumed to nature for new ideas for thousands of years.As is shown in the right picture,people learn from bird wings and lotus leaves to make airplanes and self-cleaning glass.The science of copying from nature is called biomimicry(仿生学).An exciting example is the development of spider-based silk. Spider silk is one of the strongest natural materials in the world.It's very strong and stretchy.It can be pulled up to five times its length without breaking.What's more,it is fully natural and can break down safely in nature.Scientists hope to use spider silk to make safety clothing and even airplane parts. 八年级英语试卷第6页（共8页) However,it's difficult to raise a large number of spiders.Unlike silkworms,which live together peacefully,spiders have their own living areas.When they are kept together in large groups,they often eat one another.Therefore,scientists aren't able to keep millions of spiders and collect their silk. Recently,scientists have found a smart way to solve the problem.They started by studying what makes spider silk so strong.Then they turned to the genes()that help spiders make silk.Next they put these spider genes into other living things,such as goats.These living things with spider genes can make lots of silk proteins ()Workers collect these proteins and make them into thin silk. In 2024,a group of American scientists developed a new kind of spider-based silk.It is not only strong and stretchy,but also able to carry electricity ()which makes it possible to be used in wearable products like smart watches.Dr.Emily Harper,who led the study,said,"Nature offers answers to many hard problems,and we only need to keep learning from it." 61.Why are bird wings and lotus leaves mentioned in paragraph 1? A.To compare them with spider silk. B.To introduce the science of biomimicry. C.To stress the importance of nature. D.To show how to make airplanes and glass. 62.Why is it difficult to raise many spiders for silk? A.Spider silk is hard to collect. B.Spiders eat each other in groups. C.Spiders prefer to live in nature. D.Spiders make silk only when alone. 63.Which is the correct order to make spider-based silk? 1Study spider silk genes. 2 Collect silk proteins. 3 Find out why spider silk is strong. 4 Put the genes into other living things. A.①③②④ B.③②①④ C.③①④② D.①④②③ 64.What new ability does the 2024 spider-based silk have? A.It can carry electricity. B.It can be collected easily. C.It can be strong and stretchy. D.It can break down safely. 65.What is the passage mainly about? A.Strengths of the new spider silk. B.A new kind of silk copied from spiders. C.Ways to make silk with the help of spiders D.Uses of spider silk in modern technology. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题共40分） 五、词与短语填空（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，然后用下面方框中所给的单词或短语填空，使短文在结构、句义和逻辑上正 确。（提示：方框中有两个单词或短语是多余的。） call protect/helpful grows/dangerous/take action /sit down Watch outl The Canada goldenrod(加拿大一枝黄花)can be seen in many parts of China.It was first brought to China as a garden plant.However,this foreign plant 66 so fast that it leaves little space for local plants.People 67 it"a killer".If you find this 68 plant beside roads or in fields,please tell your teachers or parents at once.Everyone should69 to fight against this foreign plant and try the best to 70 the natural environment around us. 八年级英语试卷第7页（共8页) 六、综合填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，根据上下文或括号内单词等提示，在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的 适当形式。 When others do wrong to you,what do you do?Do you let it go or stay angry?Confucius,one of the71 (great)teachers in ancient China,showed his answer 72 this question in the book The Analects of Confucius.
