He knows that learning a language takes time and effort. Every day, he studies hard and keeps moving forward, taking one small step at a time.”可知，Andrew想要提升英语，每天努力学习、一点点稳步前进，所以老师会对他说“熟能生巧”，应填Practice makes perfect。 3.

A. What’s more B. However C. For example D. At first 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你为什么想参加学校英语角？——嗯，我可以在那里结交新朋友。而且，它帮助我提高英语。 What’s more表示递进关系；However表示转折；For example表示举例；At first表示时间顺序。前一句提到可以结交新朋友，后一句提到可以帮助提高英语，前后两句是递进关系，都是参加英语角的好处。根据上下文逻辑关系可知此处应填表示递进的短语。 5. — What do the ________ on the packet say? — They say we should cook the noodles for three minutes.

A. pay attention to B. look forward to C. get along with D. catch my eye 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——彼得，你能重复一下蒂娜刚才说的话吗？——对不起，我没有注意她说的话。 pay attention to注意；look forward to期待；get along with与……相处；catch my eye引起我的注意。根据“can you repeat what Tina said just now”可知对方请求重复话语，结合“Sorry”推测彼得没听到是因为当时没注意听。 8.

A. lazy B. lazier C. the lazier D. the laziest 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：凯蒂是双胞胎姐妹中比较懒的一个。她的功课比她姐姐差。 考查形容词比较级。lazy懒的，原级；lazier较懒的，比较级；the lazier较懒的，比较级；the laziest最懒的，最高级。根据“of the twin sisters”可知，两者之间比较用比较级，此处特指“两者中比较懒的一个”，要用“the + 比较级”结构，空处应用the lazier，故选C。 9. —Lucy, ________ this long word after me slowly, and then try it by yourself. —OK, Mr. Wu.

It allows students to get close to nature and learn life skills. If you and your classmates want to plant something in your school garden, you need to make a garden plan. It helps you make sure that each plant has the space it needs to grow. Steps to follow: First, check a seed catalog (种子目录) or a gardening guide to learn what will grow well in your garden. List the plants you will grow. Second, check the seed catalog or the gardening guide to learn how much space each plant needs. Make a chart to show each plant and how far apart it should be planted in a row. Look at the example. Next, use a tapeline to measure (测量) the length and width of the garden. Write the measurements in your garden plan. Then, make a map of your garden, like the one above. Finally, decide which plant you want to grow the most. Mark out the space on your map for that plant. Add the other plants if space allows. When your plan is done, you can start planting. 24. What is the advantage of labor education according to the passage? A. It can let the plants in your garden grow well. B. It can allow you to put the knowledge you learn into practice. C. It can allow you to get close to nature and learn life skills. D. It can help you make a more detailed study plan. 25. Which picture can show the meaning of the underlined word “tapeline”? A. B. C. D. 26. If you want to plant three carrots in a row, how long will the row need to be at least? A. 3 feet. B. 6 feet. C. 9 feet. D. 12 feet. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要围绕劳动教育的重要性展开，特别是通过制定花园计划来培养学生的实践能力和对自然的理解。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Labor education has entered every school. It allows students to get close to nature and learn life skills.”可知，劳动教育的优势是让学生亲近自然并学习生活技能。故选C。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Next, use a tapeline to measure (测量) the length and width of the garden. ”可知，测量长度和宽度应该使用卷尺，对照图片可知A项符合。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格内容：Carrot对应的间距是3 feet apart，表明胡萝卜之间相距3英尺，三棵胡萝卜需要两段间距，总长度为3×2=6英尺。故选B。 C Everyone learns differently—some people understand better by seeing, some by doing, and others by listening. Finding your suitable learning style makes studying easier and more efficient (高效的). Here are four simple ways to help find the best one for you. First, try visual learning. Visual learners learn well by seeing and watching. You can watch in-person or online demos, like a Bilibili video on fixing a broken pipe. Other visual methods include using maps, drawings, or note cards. These let you “see” information clearly and remember it easily. Second, test hands-on learning. Tactile (hands-on) learners learn best by doing. For example, if you study a city’s history, visit places of interest like the Palace Museum in Beijing. You can also interview people or do experiments (实验), like growing a plant for science. Direct action helps you catch ideas quickly. Third, check auditory learning. Auditory learners learn through listening. To test this style, use audio books or taped lectures (录音讲座). You can also talk with classmates about topics. Hearing and discussing help you remember key points. Finally, don’t forget to take an online test. After trying the three styles above, taking 1 or 2 quizzes can help: check if the quiz result matches the style you think works best for you. In short, these methods help you find your best learning style. Then you may study smarter and get better results. 27. What can visual learners do to know the Great Wall best? A. Paying a visit to it during the holiday. B. Taking part in a talk on it in the hall. C. Talking with history teachers about it. D. Making note cards about it as reading. 28. How does the writer introduce tactile learning? A. By giving examples. B. By listing numbers. C. By asking questions. D. By comparing ideas. 29. Which of the following can we infer (推断) about auditory learners from the passage? A. They need to listen to the same audio 10 times to remember it. B. They can only learn well by listening to pre-recorded materials. C. They will always get higher scores in English listening tests. D. They may find it easier to remember a story by listening to it. 30. What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】27. D 28. A 29. D 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了不同的学习风格（视觉、动手、听觉），并给出了找到适合自己学习风格的方法，帮助学习者更高效地学习。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第2段“Other visual methods include using maps, drawings, or note cards.”可知，视觉学习者的方法包含制作笔记卡，选项D符合该特点，故选D。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第3段“For example, if you study a city’s history, visit places of interest like the Palace Museum in Beijing. You can also interview people or do experiments (实验), like growing a plant for science.”可知，作者通过举例子介绍动手学习，选项A符合，故选A。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第4段“Auditory learners learn through listening... Hearing and discussing help you remember key points.”可知，听觉学习者通过倾听记忆内容，选项D“通过听故事可能更容易记住它。”符合该特点，故选D。 【30题详解】 篇章结构题。文章第1段总起（说明学习风格的重要性及找方法的目的），第2—5段分述四种方法，第6段总结（找到适合学习风格的好处），该结构与选项B一致，故选B。 D Caroline won the show jumping competition!

What did you mean when you said: ‘with a little help, Blossom can be sick’?” Fred told Caroline about Blossom and the sleeping pills. “Look! I’m sorry about Sophie and all that, but I did it for you.” “Fred!” Caroline cried. “Do you think I want to win like that? Do you really think that?” “But I only wanted to help you. Look! Everyone is happy. You are, Mum and Dad are, your horse Apple wind is happy too, I think—and Sophie and Blossom will be okay in a few weeks.” “Fred! Sophie was lucky that she only broke a rib (肋骨).

I don’t want to win the Cup like this.” “This is a very serious matter,” said Mr. Morley. “You know Fred committed a crime. If Sophie’s parents go to the police, your brother will be in real trouble.

This may require that you step outside of your comfort zone, as well as risking being refused. There are four steps for building a friendship. Step 1: Gather the Wood. If you are tired of being lonely, look for some potential friends. If none of the people around you suit you for building friendships, you must find a way to meet new people. Step 2: Lay the Fire. Begin a conversation with a potential friend. This person around you may be surprised that you make the first move. For instance, you might open with something like “I’ve already run 5 km before. How many have you completed?” Step 3: Strike the Match. If the potential friend gives you a warm response (反应) and you both enjoy the small talk, you may want to take another step. For instance, you might say, “Wow, this has been fun! Are there any other cool art shows around town now?” Step 4: Keep the Friendship Flame Burning. If you and your potential friend are willing to have a second meeting, say something like, “So many cool ideas were shared at this writer’s club. Do you want to drink coffee and continue our conversation?” If the potential friend isn’t interested in a friendship and then falls back into the “acquaintance” or “stranger”, that is OK! Not everyone is going to be your new best friend. Whether you and a new friend can build a relationship or not, the value of good friends never disappears. Be willing to take risks. Keep going on and remember that not everyone can be your friend, but good friendships are worth the risk.

Young. B. Humorous. C. Experienced. D. Funny. 23. We can read the passage in the ________ part of a magazine. A. Education B. Health C. News D. Culture B A Garden Plan Labor education (劳动教育) has entered every school. It allows students to get close to nature and learn life skills. If you and your classmates want to plant something in your school garden, you need to make a garden plan. It helps you make sure that each plant has the space it needs to grow. Steps to follow: First, check a seed catalog (种子目录) or a gardening guide to learn what will grow well in your garden. List the plants you will grow. Second, check the seed catalog or the gardening guide to learn how much space each plant needs. Make a chart to show each plant and how far apart it should be planted in a row. Look at the example. Next, use a tapeline to measure (测量) the length and width of the garden. Write the measurements in your garden plan. Then, make a map of your garden, like the one above. Finally, decide which plant you want to grow the most. Mark out the space on your map for that plant. Add the other plants if space allows. When your plan is done, you can start planting. 24. What is the advantage of labor education according to the passage? A. It can let the plants in your garden grow well. B. It can allow you to put the knowledge you learn into practice. C. It can allow you to get close to nature and learn life skills. D. It can help you make a more detailed study plan. 25. Which picture can show the meaning of the underlined word “tapeline”? A. B. C. D. 26. If you want to plant three carrots in a row, how long will the row need to be at least? A. 3 feet. B. 6 feet. C. 9 feet. D. 12 feet. C Everyone learns differently—some people understand better by seeing, some by doing, and others by listening. Finding your suitable learning style makes studying easier and more efficient (高效的). Here are four simple ways to help find the best one for you. First, try visual learning. Visual learners learn well by seeing and watching. You can watch in-person or online demos, like a Bilibili video on fixing a broken pipe. Other visual methods include using maps, drawings, or note cards. These let you “see” information clearly and remember it easily. Second, test hands-on learning. Tactile (hands-on) learners learn best by doing. For example, if you study a city’s history, visit places of interest like the Palace Museum in Beijing. You can also interview people or do experiments (实验), like growing a plant for science. Direct action helps you catch ideas quickly. Third, check auditory learning. Auditory learners learn through listening. To test this style, use audio books or taped lectures (录音讲座). You can also talk with classmates about topics. Hearing and discussing help you remember key points. Finally, don’t forget to take an online test. After trying the three styles above, taking 1 or 2 quizzes can help: check if the quiz result matches the style you think works best for you. In short, these methods help you find your best learning style. Then you may study smarter and get better results. 27. What can visual learners do to know the Great Wall best? A. Paying a visit to it during the holiday. B. Taking part in a talk on it in the hall. C. Talking with history teachers about it. D. Making note cards about it as reading. 28. How does the writer introduce tactile learning? A. By giving examples. B. By listing numbers. C. By asking questions. D. By comparing ideas. 29. Which of the following can we infer (推断) about auditory learners from the passage? A. They need to listen to the same audio 10 times to remember it. B. They can only learn well by listening to pre-recorded materials. C. They will always get higher scores in English listening tests. D. They may find it easier to remember a story by listening to it. 30. What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. D Caroline won the show jumping competition! She has never won it before! Sophie usually wins and she usually comes second. But this time, she did it! Everyone at home was happy, especially Fred, her brother. Seeing his smile, Caroline suddenly remembered Fred said he planned to do “a little help” to Sophie’s horse Blossom before the match. “Fred,” Caroline said. “I need to talk to you. What did you mean when you said: ‘with a little help, Blossom can be sick’?” Fred told Caroline about Blossom and the sleeping pills. “Look! I’m sorry about Sophie and all that, but I did it for you.” “Fred!” Caroline cried. “Do you think I want to win like that? Do you really think that?” “But I only wanted to help you. Look! Everyone is happy. You are, Mum and Dad are, your horse Apple wind is happy too, I think—and Sophie and Blossom will be okay in a few weeks.” “Fred! Sophie was lucky that she only broke a rib (肋骨). Thank goodness she didn’t break more!!! Thank goodness she’s not dead!!!” Fred started crying. “I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. I didn’t think...” “That’s alright, Fred,” Caroline said. “I know you did it for me. But we have to tell everyone the truth. I don’t want the Cup. Not like this!” “But Caroline, if you tell the truth, Dad will sell Apple wind.” “I know,” said Caroline. And then she started crying. The next day at the stables (马厩), Caroline talked to Mr. Morley, the manager of the competition. “So you see, sir. I didn’t win because I was the best. I won because of the sleeping pills. I’m very sorry, sir. I didn’t know anything about it. And my brother is very sorry, too. He did it to help me. And he’ll never do it again. But I can’t accept the Cup. I don’t want to win the Cup like this.” “This is a very serious matter,” said Mr. Morley. “You know Fred committed a crime. If Sophie’s parents go to the police, your brother will be in real trouble. Thank you for telling me, Caroline...” — Adapted from The Spring Cup 31. How did Fred help Caroline win the competition? A. By making Sophie’s horse ill. B. By keeping encouraging Caroline. C.

This may require that you step outside of your comfort zone, as well as risking being refused. There are four steps for building a friendship. Step 1: Gather the Wood. If you are tired of being lonely, look for some potential friends. If none of the people around you suit you for building friendships, you must find a way to meet new people. Step 2: Lay the Fire. Begin a conversation with a potential friend. This person around you may be surprised that you make the first move. For instance, you might open with something like “I’ve already run 5 km before. How many have you completed?” Step 3: Strike the Match. If the potential friend gives you a warm response (反应) and you both enjoy the small talk, you may want to take another step. For instance, you might say, “Wow, this has been fun! Are there any other cool art shows around town now?” Step 4: Keep the Friendship Flame Burning. If you and your potential friend are willing to have a second meeting, say something like, “So many cool ideas were shared at this writer’s club. Do you want to drink coffee and continue our conversation?” If the potential friend isn’t interested in a friendship and then falls back into the “acquaintance” or “stranger”, that is OK! Not everyone is going to be your new best friend. Whether you and a new friend can build a relationship or not, the value of good friends never disappears. Be willing to take risks. Keep going on and remember that not everyone can be your friend, but good friendships are worth the risk. Title: Some ____51____ on how to build and keep a friendship Introduction It’s ____52____ to make a new friend. You may feel ____53____ or even take the risk of being refused when you try to make friends with others.

How’s your schoolwork? As a Grade 8 learner, how do you improve your study? I find it’s hard to pay attention to my schoolwork. Any good suggestions for me? I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
