B Friendship Day is a day in some countries for celebrating friendship. It’s the best chance to say “Thank you” to our friends. Most of us may have a few special friends and lots of friends make our life more pleasant and happier. People can do a lot of things on that day. The following are some of them. Do favorite things together. We may have the same hobbies as our friends. And when we get together, we talk a lot about our hobbies and do what we like to do happily. So we can plan something for this Friendship Day and do what we like best with our friends on that day. Do some shopping. If we love shopping, we can call our friends and spend some time in shops with them. As friends, we know what our friends really want to have. We can also buy something as a present to give them a surprise on that day. Have a party. Having a party is the best thing to do together. We can go to a restaurant to eat some delicious food with our friends or play some games with our friends at home. Singing and dancing together will make the party more interesting. In a word, plan some activities on Friendship Day and thank some people for being our friends. We can tell our friends that we really care about them and enjoy ourselves on that day. 24.

What’s the best title for the passage? A. Activities on Friendship Day B. The History of Friendship Day C. The Meaning of Friendship Day D. The Importance of Friendship Day C When you go to the park, you might notice many older people listening to audiobooks instead of reading paper books. Audiobooks have become quite popular these days. Why are more and more people choosing audiobooks over traditional books? Is listening to an audiobook just as beneficial as reading a book? Reading needs us to focus all our attention on the words in a book, and we also need to find time and a place to sit down and read. However, you can listen to audiobooks anytime and anywhere you like, and it gives your eyes a break, too. But the big question is, do we get knowledge from audiobooks as effectively as we do from paper books? Researchers did an experiment to find the answer. Volunteers in group one were asked to listen to an audiobook while volunteers in group two read a book of the same content. It turned out that they recalled the same amount of information, whether they listened to it or read it. Another study published in the Journal of Neuroscience further supported the result above. In the study, researchers scanned people’s brains when they listened to and read books. The result showed that listening to audiobooks activates almost the same parts of the brain as reading does. However, some people still believe that they learn better from reading paper books. One reason might be that when we listen to audiobooks, we are often multitasking. “If you’re trying to learn while doing two things, you’re not going to learn as well,” Daniel Willingham, a professor of psychology at the University of Virginia, told The New York Times. 27. The audiobook users are freer in ________ than paper book users. A. age and place B. price and time C. time and place D. price and age 28. What might the word “recall” mean? A. lose B. change C. remember D. speak 29. What do we know about the study in the Journal of Neuroscience? A. Listening to audiobooks and reading activate almost the same parts of the brain. B. People need to read and listen to books at the same time. C. People need to recollect the information in their heads. D. Researchers activate people’s brains before reading. 30. Why do some people think paper books help them learn better than audiobooks? A. Because they can listen to audiobooks later. B. Because people need to stay focused while reading. C. Because they can do other tasks at the same time. D. Because they want to protect their ears. D Trends come and go. Many goods that people buy to keep pace with fashion end up in the rubbish bin. Now, young Chinese people are giving these things a second life. Called “stoopers”, they pick up idle goods and reuse them. They are mainly in big cities like Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou. Chen Jiaorong, 27, is one of them. She started stooping in June 2022 when she found that many people were letting go of things hardly used after they were released from the COVID lockdown in Shanghai. After that, she often “hunted treasures” in her free time. Now, her small apartment holds things redesigned from the idle goods she collected, including tables, chairs and clothing. “Some say stooping means collecting rubbish,” Chen said. “But for me, it is about making the best use of things.” That’s why she wanted to promote the trend to others. Sometimes Chen also puts eyeball-shaped stickers on idle goods that she doesn’t need and posts pictures of them on social media for others to find. With a hobby of keeping things since childhood, Huang Xiaohe from the Xishan Junior High School of Kunming No.1 High School also loves stooping. Though the 12-year-old has few chances to go stooping in her city, Huang often looks for idle goods around school. Then, she cleans and redesigns them, turning them into fun things at home. The cotton from a found toy bear dresses a cloud lamp, bottles become decorations and old facial masks are used to make clothes for her Barbie dolls. “I believe that any waste can be turned into treasures,” said Huang. She also added that stooping is an action to fight over-buying. 31. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “idle”? A. cheap B. smart C. unused D. lazy 32. What do we know about Chen Jiaorong? A. She thinks most idle goods are rubbish. B. She also bought idle goods from social media. C. Many things in her apartment are from idle goods. D. She found all the “treasures” during the lockdown. 33. How did Huang Xiaohe turn waste into treasures? A. She used old clothes to make masks. B. She used idle bottles for decoration. C. She found waste around the city. D. She bought idle goods at her school. 34. What is the main good thing about stooping? A. It encourages people to start a second life. B. It is good for people’s health. C. It helps people make friends on social media. D. It makes less waste and deals with over-buying. 35. What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（共 50 分） 五、填空（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） A）根据所给的汉语或首字母写出单词，使句子意思完整正确，并将答案填写在答题卡相应横线上。 36. You need to wait p________ for your turn when there are many people ahead of you. 37.

Finding your voice helps you feel strong and it also inspires (鼓舞) others. What does finding your voice mean? Finding your voice means building up the confidence to speak up and share your ideas. Being together in lessons, sports teams or any group activity is a chance to ask questions and exchange ideas with each other. To join in, you need to speak in front of other people, which isn’t always easy. When you put up your hand, everyone’s attention is on you—and you take the risk of saying something awkward or wrong. You may feel worried about this. Most people get nervous about doing things they find challenging. What are the advantages? If you’re in a lesson, speaking up is a chance to ask questions and share your thoughts. It also means you’re getting involved in active learning. This is when pupils work together to share ideas and solve problems. As well as making lessons more fun, studies show that active learning helps you understand more clearly and get better results in tests. Finding the strength to speak up also means you’re sharing your ideas, which could inspire someone else and give them the confidence to speak up too. How can I feel more confident? Author and confidence coach Tewalola Adebayo says that finding your voice means facing fear bravely. “Fear is simply a negative (消极的) thought of something in the future that hasn’t happened yet,” she explains. “If you’re not sure something will go right,” she asks, “how can you be sure it will go wrong?” Another way to feel more confident is to speak to yourself kindly. You might tell yourself not to put your hand up in class because you’ll get the answer wrong and people will laugh at you. However, “You would never say that to a friend, so don’t say it to yourself either,” Adebayo says. “You are just as worthy of all the love and encouragement you give to your friends.” Finding your voice Definition Finding your voice means being ____51____ to speak up and share ideas in any group activity. It isn’t easy to speak in front of other people because · you take the risk of saying something awkward or wrong when everyone is ____52____ attention to you. · most people might feel nervous when they do something ____53____. ____54____ Asking questions and exchanging thoughts can help you learn ____55____. · It makes learning more fun. · It helps us ____56____ our understanding and get higher marks in exams. It can also encourage others to voice their own opinions as well. Ways Don’t be ____57____ of something that hasn’t happened yet because nobody can be sure of the future. Speak to yourself kindly because you are worth the ____58____ love and encouragement you offer your friends. Your voice Share one experience of finding your voice in your life. (no less than 20 words) ___________________________________59___________________________________ B） 根据短文内容和首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 As we walk the “path of life”, we may sometimes wish to be alone with our own thoughts, for quiet moments of reflection can lead to personal improvement. H____60____ when we want to be alone, we must be careful that we do not always jump into our own world. Social life is also important to all of us. There are many benefits of friendship as we live in social groups. Generally speaking, close friendships have three “fruits”: they may comfort the heart, advise the head and help us achieve the goals we set for o____61____. Through friendship, we can become happier, wiser and more s____62____ humans. The first fruit of friendship is the peace that comes from s____63____ with friends our joy, sadness, success and failure. Here, friendship has a double advantage—happiness takes on a greater meaning and a trouble shared becomes a trouble halved! Naturally, this kind of openness results from a close friendship. We know that our friends will both r____64____ our feelings and treasure these moments of closeness. The second fruit of friendship is the better understanding and judgement that may be achieved through c____65____ with kind and wise friends. We often find it easier to know other people’s weaknesses than our own. As a result, if we are guided only by our own f____66____, our judgements might be one-sided. On the other hand, our friends are better able to offer advice on important decisions that we all have to make. This helps make our thoughts clearer and we can understand our problems more completely. The third fruit of friendship is the help that a friend may offer in many different ways. Sometimes a friend is e____67____ known as our “second self”. There are so many things in life that can only be achieved with the help of friends. Friends may have many different ideas and skills. Finally, it should be pointed out that enjoying the company of a crowd is not the same as being with friends. Friends should be carefully chosen and relationships should be carefully d____68____. In this way, we can better walk the “path of life” with the comfort, a____69____ and help from our trusted friends. 七、书面表达（满分 15 分） 70. 假设你是李华，你最近认识的英国笔友 Simon 给你发了一封电子邮件，想了解你近期学校生活的一些情况。请认真阅读他的邮件，根据邮件中的内容及你的实际情况用英语回复。 To: lihua@china.com From: simonwhite@britain.com Subject: School life Dear Li Hua, Glad to hear you are in Grade Eight.

This year, when my neighbour Ollie and I raced to the notice board to find out the theme (主题), we found that the theme was kind of, well, themeless. “Be ____11____,” I said, reading the notice board. “That’s not really a theme, is it?” Ollie got off his skateboard to get a closer look. “You’re right,” he agreed. “Now that’s the creative spirit we need for this challenge!” I said. “Maybe, since we don’t know exactly what we want to be, we should start by choosing cool costume-making ____12____.” “I’ve got it.” Ollie said, picking up some leaves. “Really?” I said. “You’re going to make a costume out of leaves?” “Why not?” he said and ____13____ up some more leaves. “They’re totally free, and I think that no one will be a tree as great as me.” “Don’t you mean, as great as we?” I laughed, ____14____ him in collecting those colorful autumn leaves. It took us hours to get ready the next morning. When it was time for us to line up in the judging area, I felt pretty ____15____. However, after a few minutes, I started having another feeling. As I was standing there in the costume, the feeling got ____16____ until I was so uncomfortable, I just had to scratch (挠). When I looked over at Ollie, he was doing the ____17____ thing “This is the worst.” he said as he moved his body. “I feel like I’m ____18____ with a million mosquito (蚊子) bites.” “Me too,” I said back. “I have to get out of this costume now.” At that moment, Mr. Lee called for everyone’s ____19____. “The winner of our ‘Be Creative’ costume contest is these two magnificent trees” he announced. “Wonderful work.” said our neighbour, Mrs. Nishikawa. “I especially liked your ____20____ that made it look as if your leaves were rustling (沙沙响动) in the wind.” 11.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了我和邻居Ollie参加万圣节服装比赛的故事。我们用树叶制作服装，虽过程痒痛，却因创意意外获奖。 【11题详解】 句意：我看着公告牌念道：“发挥创意。这根本不算个主题，对吧？” 根据下文“Now that’s the creative spirit”及后文“‘Be Creative’ costume contest”，可知主题是“要有创造力”。creative“有创意的”契合全文主题线索；interesting“有趣的”、humorous“幽默的”、thoughtful“体贴的”均无原文依据，不符合主题设定。 【12题详解】 句意：既然我们不确定要扮成什么，不如先从挑选酷炫的服装制作材料入手吧。 根据下文Ollie捡起树叶制作服装，可知树叶是制作服装的“材料”，materials“材料”符合制作服装的语境；suggestions“建议”、inventions“发明”、products“产品”均与动手制作服装的场景不符。 【13题详解】 句意：“为什么不呢？” 他说着，又捡起了更多树叶。 pick up是固定短语，意为“捡起”，契合捡拾落叶制作服装的动作；gave up“放弃”、put up“张贴；举起”、cleaned up“打扫干净”均不符合语境。 【14题详解】 句意：我笑着加入他，一起捡那些五彩斑斓的秋叶。 join sb. in doing sth.是固定搭配，意为“加入某人做某事”，符合作者也一同参与捡树叶的情节；protecting“保护”、respecting“尊重”、recording“记录”均不符合动作逻辑。 【15题详解】 句意：到了去评审区排队的时候，我感觉还挺放松的。 后文however表转折，说明之后产生了不舒服的感觉，转折前的初始状态是轻松的。relaxed“放松的”符合前后转折逻辑；worried“担心的”、bored“无聊的”、curious“好奇的”均无法与后文的不适感形成转折。 【16题详解】 句意：我穿着服装站在那儿，这种不适感越来越强烈，直到我浑身难受，忍不住要挠。 根据后文“so uncomfortable”，可知不适感在增强，stronger“更强的”契合程度加深的过程；weaker“更弱的”、better“更好的”、warmer“更暖的”均不符合不适感加重的语境。 【17题详解】 句意：当我看向Ollie时，他正在做同样的事情。 后文两人都觉得浑身发痒、扭动身体，说明二人的状态和动作是一样的，same“相同的”符合情节；right“正确的”、wrong“错误的”、different“不同的”均与两人都难受的事实相悖。 【18题详解】 句意：我感觉自己好像被一百万只蚊子叮了个遍。 be covered with是固定搭配，意为“被……覆盖”，此处形容浑身都像被蚊子叮咬过一样刺痒；provided“提供”、marked“标记”、mixed“混合”均无法构成合理搭配，也不符合语境。 【19题详解】 句意：就在这时，Lee先生让大家安静注意。 call for everyone’s attention是常用表达，意为“吸引大家的注意力”，符合宣布获奖结果前的场景；interest“兴趣”、guess“猜测”、name“名字”均不符合宣布结果的语境。 【20题详解】 句意：我特别喜欢你们的舞动，让树叶看起来像是在风中沙沙作响。 两人因为发痒扭动身体，在旁人看来就像是特意设计的舞动动作，带动树叶发出沙沙声。dance“舞动、舞蹈”契合邻居的夸赞角度；joke“玩笑”、deal“交易”、game“游戏”均不符合夸赞创意服装的语境。 四、阅读理解（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） A How to Organize Kids Craft Tools With a Fun DIY Pegboard If you are a parent, you know the tiring truth.

Audiobooks have become quite popular these days. Why are more and more people choosing audiobooks over traditional books? Is listening to an audiobook just as beneficial as reading a book? Reading needs us to focus all our attention on the words in a book, and we also need to find time and a place to sit down and read. However, you can listen to audiobooks anytime and anywhere you like, and it gives your eyes a break, too. But the big question is, do we get knowledge from audiobooks as effectively as we do from paper books? Researchers did an experiment to find the answer. Volunteers in group one were asked to listen to an audiobook while volunteers in group two read a book of the same content. It turned out that they recalled the same amount of information, whether they listened to it or read it. Another study published in the Journal of Neuroscience further supported the result above. In the study, researchers scanned people’s brains when they listened to and read books. The result showed that listening to audiobooks activates almost the same parts of the brain as reading does. However, some people still believe that they learn better from reading paper books. One reason might be that when we listen to audiobooks, we are often multitasking. “If you’re trying to learn while doing two things, you’re not going to learn as well,” Daniel Willingham, a professor of psychology at the University of Virginia, told The New York Times. 27. The audiobook users are freer in ________ than paper book users. A. age and place B. price and time C. time and place D. price and age 28. What might the word “recall” mean? A. lose B. change C. remember D. speak 29. What do we know about the study in the Journal of Neuroscience? A. Listening to audiobooks and reading activate almost the same parts of the brain. B. People need to read and listen to books at the same time. C. People need to recollect the information in their heads. D. Researchers activate people’s brains before reading. 30. Why do some people think paper books help them learn better than audiobooks? A. Because they can listen to audiobooks later. B. Because people need to stay focused while reading. C. Because they can do other tasks at the same time. D. Because they want to protect their ears. 【答案】27. C 28. C 29. A 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了有声书日益流行的现象，对比了有声书与纸质书在阅读条件、知识获取效果及大脑激活区域方面的异同，并分析了部分人偏好纸质书的原因。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“However, you can listen to audiobooks anytime and anywhere you like...”可知听有声书可以“随时随地”，说明听众在时间和地点上比纸质书用户更自由。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“It turned out that they recalled the same amount of information, whether they listened to it or read it.”可知无论是听还是读，志愿者回想起的信息量相同，此处单词意思与“remember”同义。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The result showed that listening to audiobooks activates almost the same parts of the brain as reading does.”可知研究结果表明听有声书和阅读激活的大脑部分几乎相同。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“One reason might be that when we listen to audiobooks, we are often multitasking.”及专家观点可知听书时常伴随多任务处理会影响学习效果，反之意味着阅读纸质书需要保持专注，因此被认为有助于更好地学习。 D Trends come and go. Many goods that people buy to keep pace with fashion end up in the rubbish bin. Now, young Chinese people are giving these things a second life. Called “stoopers”, they pick up idle goods and reuse them. They are mainly in big cities like Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou. Chen Jiaorong, 27, is one of them. She started stooping in June 2022 when she found that many people were letting go of things hardly used after they were released from the COVID lockdown in Shanghai. After that, she often “hunted treasures” in her free time. Now, her small apartment holds things redesigned from the idle goods she collected, including tables, chairs and clothing. “Some say stooping means collecting rubbish,” Chen said. “But for me, it is about making the best use of things.” That’s why she wanted to promote the trend to others. Sometimes Chen also puts eyeball-shaped stickers on idle goods that she doesn’t need and posts pictures of them on social media for others to find. With a hobby of keeping things since childhood, Huang Xiaohe from the Xishan Junior High School of Kunming No.1 High School also loves stooping. Though the 12-year-old has few chances to go stooping in her city, Huang often looks for idle goods around school. Then, she cleans and redesigns them, turning them into fun things at home. The cotton from a found toy bear dresses a cloud lamp, bottles become decorations and old facial masks are used to make clothes for her Barbie dolls. “I believe that any waste can be turned into treasures,” said Huang. She also added that stooping is an action to fight over-buying. 31. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “idle”? A. cheap B. smart C. unused D. lazy 32. What do we know about Chen Jiaorong? A. She thinks most idle goods are rubbish. B. She also bought idle goods from social media. C. Many things in her apartment are from idle goods. D. She found all the “treasures” during the lockdown. 33. How did Huang Xiaohe turn waste into treasures? A. She used old clothes to make masks. B. She used idle bottles for decoration. C. She found waste around the city. D. She bought idle goods at her school. 34. What is the main good thing about stooping? A. It encourages people to start a second life. B. It is good for people’s health. C. It helps people make friends on social media. D. It makes less waste and deals with over-buying. 35. What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】31. C 32. C 33. B 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了中国年轻人中流行的“stooping（捡拾闲置物品再利用）”新风尚，通过陈娇蓉、黄晓荷两个具体事例，说明了stooping的实践方式，以及其减少浪费、对抗过度购买的积极意义。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第2段“they pick up idle goods and reuse them”并结合第3段“many people were letting go of things hardly used”可推知，“idle”修饰物品时表示“闲置不用的”，选项中“unused”最接近文意。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第3段“Now, her small apartment holds things redesigned from the idle goods she collected, including tables, chairs and clothing.”可知，陈娇蓉的公寓里有很多物品都来自她收集的闲置物品，经改造后使用。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第5段“bottles become decorations”可知，黄晓荷将闲置瓶子做成装饰品，以此实现废物变宝。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第1段“Many goods that people buy to keep pace with fashion end up in the rubbish bin. Now, young Chinese people are giving these things a second life.”以及第6段“stooping is an action to fight over-buying”可推知，stooping能让闲置物品重新发挥作用，减少浪费，同时可以对抗过度购买。 【35题详解】 篇章结构题。根据第1段“Now, young Chinese people are giving these things a second life”、第2段“Called ‘stoopers’, they pick up idle goods and reuse them”，以及后文两个人物的事例内容可推知，文章第1、2段为总起部分，介绍“stooping”的背景与基本定义；第3、4段和第5、6段为分述部分，分别以陈娇蓉、黄晓荷为例具体说明“stooping”的实践与意义，属于“总—分”结构，与选项B的结构图匹配。 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（共 50 分） 五、填空（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） A）根据所给的汉语或首字母写出单词，使句子意思完整正确，并将答案填写在答题卡相应横线上。 36.

Many students feel b________ if the teacher only reads textbooks in class. 【答案】bored##ored 【解析】 【详解】句意：如果老师在课堂上只照本宣科，很多学生会觉得很无聊。句中feel是感官系动词，后面需要接形容词作表语；此处主语是many students（指代人），表达人的主观感受“感到无聊的”，要用以-ed结尾的形容词bored。 38.

Finding your voice helps you feel strong and it also inspires (鼓舞) others. What does finding your voice mean? Finding your voice means building up the confidence to speak up and share your ideas. Being together in lessons, sports teams or any group activity is a chance to ask questions and exchange ideas with each other. To join in, you need to speak in front of other people, which isn’t always easy. When you put up your hand, everyone’s attention is on you—and you take the risk of saying something awkward or wrong. You may feel worried about this. Most people get nervous about doing things they find challenging. What are the advantages? If you’re in a lesson, speaking up is a chance to ask questions and share your thoughts. It also means you’re getting involved in active learning. This is when pupils work together to share ideas and solve problems. As well as making lessons more fun, studies show that active learning helps you understand more clearly and get better results in tests. Finding the strength to speak up also means you’re sharing your ideas, which could inspire someone else and give them the confidence to speak up too. How can I feel more confident? Author and confidence coach Tewalola Adebayo says that finding your voice means facing fear bravely. “Fear is simply a negative (消极的) thought of something in the future that hasn’t happened yet,” she explains. “If you’re not sure something will go right,” she asks, “how can you be sure it will go wrong?” Another way to feel more confident is to speak to yourself kindly. You might tell yourself not to put your hand up in class because you’ll get the answer wrong and people will laugh at you. However, “You would never say that to a friend, so don’t say it to yourself either,” Adebayo says. “You are just as worthy of all the love and encouragement you give to your friends.” Finding your voice Definition Finding your voice means being ____51____ to speak up and share ideas in any group activity. It isn’t easy to speak in front of other people because · you take the risk of saying something awkward or wrong when everyone is ____52____ attention to you. · most people might feel nervous when they do something ____53____. ____54____ Asking questions and exchanging thoughts can help you learn ____55____. · It makes learning more fun. · It helps us ____56____ our understanding and get higher marks in exams.
