（22-23八年级·广东茂名·期末）I’ve lived in a lorry (卡车) with my younger sister Sinita and my parents for over 200 days now! We’re travelling around Africa. The lorry’s a bit like a house on wheels (轮子), but it has less space. But we have everything we need for our journey. It’s not very fast. That is OK—we’re not in a hurry.
Our school books are the same as the ones back home, but my mum gives us lessons, and then sends our work to teachers on the Internet. My favourite way of learning, however, is by going on special trips that my parents plan. We’ve seen so many amazing (令人大为惊奇的) places, people and animals.
In September, we went camping in the Kalahari Desert (卡拉哈里沙漠). We learned lots about the night sky. The Kalahari’s not like other deserts because it gets such a lot of rain—some parts of it look really green. We had a guide, and he told us about all the amazing animals that live there.
In November, we went on a whale—watching (观鲸鱼) tour in South Africa and saw six whales. We said hello to them. One even swam under our boat. That was really thrilling. I knew whales were big, but I couldn’t believe they were so large.
In December, we drove to Boulders Beach in South Africa. There are thousands of African penguins (企鹅) on the beach. These amazing black and white birds can swim, but cannot fly. Many of the visitors to the beach enjoyed seeing their funny walk, but I was very interested in how clever they were at keeping their babies safe.

Born in New York in 1858, Theodore Roosevelt was not always healthy. “I was a sickly boy,” he once wrote. Roosevelt had a health condition called asthma. He often found it hard to breathe. Instead of playing, he studied nature then read and wrote about it.
Roosevclt’s interest in nature sometimes got him into trouble. Once, his mother found several dead mice in the icebox. She required that the mice be thrown out. “This was indeed a loss of science,” Roosevelt said later.
Because Roosevelt was often sickly as a boy, his body was small and weak. When he was about 12, his father asked him to improve his body. Roosevelt began to do exercise. He didn’t become strong quickly. But he did decide to face life’s challenges with a strong spirit. That decision stayed with Roosevelt during his whole life.

（22-23八年级·广东广州·期末）One night as I went to the supermarket to buy some groceries（日用品）, something unusual happened to me.It made me review the meaning of life.
As soon as I went through the glass doors, I could tell something unusual was happening at the cash register（收银台）. I saw a cashier taking a few items （物品）out of a customer’s bag. The shopper was an old
woman. I couldn’t even begin to describe to you how sad this woman looked. I stood there for a second and quickly realized that the cashier was taking items off the bill to cut down the payment.
I walked quickly over to the cash register, pointed to the items that she was about to put behind her and then pointed at my bag, showing that I would pay for them. She understood. After putting those items back in the bag at the register, she again went to help the woman with her card, but it still didn’t work. I looked at the screen to see the number, took some cash out of my bag, handed it to the cashier and then quickly walked away.
The old woman was a bit nervous about her card and didn’t notice me at all. When the cashier told her that she didn’t have to pay a cent, she was confused（茫然的）.
I didn’t walk back into the supermarket, but I felt so proud. I was really happy that I was able to help the old woman out and hopefully bring some joy and happiness into her life.
What is happiness As you can imagine, there are a lot of answers. Some people say that giving is a kind of happiness; it gives people warmth and joy. Some people say that harvest is a kind of happiness; it makes you realize the joy and excitement after the harvest. But I think to help others is a kind of happiness.

Dr. Seuss and The Cat in the Hat
The Cat in the Hat is a rhymed children’s book written by the American writer Dr. Seuss. The main character in the book is a naughty talking cat, wearing a tall, red and white-stripped hat. The cat appears in six of Dr. Seuss’s children’s books. The Cat in the Hat has become popular around the world because it is an entertaining and fun book for young readers.
Dr. Seuss is actually the pen name of Theodore Seuss Geisel. He was born on March 2, 1904, in Springfield, Massachusetts and died on September 24, 1991, at the age of 87, in La Jolla, California. After graduating from Dartmouth College in 1925, he studied at Lincoln College, Oxford with the plan to get a doctor degree (博士学位). However, he returned to the United States without getting it.

After the war, he returned to writing children’s books. In 1954, he learned that children were not interested in reading because their books were boring. To encourage reading, he wrote The Cat in the Hat using only 236 basic words. After its success, he went on to write many other children’s books, including such all-time favorites as Horton Hatches the Egg, Green Eggs and Ham, Dr. Seuss’s ABC, I Can Read with My Eyes Shut! and Hop on Pop.

（22-23八年级·广东广州·期末）Could you imagine cars driving without human drivers Recently, China has made a big step toward self-driving technology. This August, more and more driverless taxis run on roads in many big cities in China.
Why do we develop self-driving cars Self-driving cars give us many benefits. They use computers to sense the things around them and make better use of space. This means fewer traffic jams and better parking of cars. Many people cannot drive for various reasons, including age, disability, or lack of experience. Now, they can get around more easily. Driving becomes more convenient.
According to a research, each year, over 1.3 million people die in car accidents around the world, and many more get hurt. Self-driving cars can reduce (减少) road accidents by 90% and save a lot of money. The main cause of car accidents is human mistakes. By using computers, self-driving cars don’t make poor decisions or lose attention like humans do. They can improve driving safety.
But self-driving cars aren’t perfect. If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars can’t react (反应) as fast as a human driver can. Also, during weather events like heavy snow, it will be difficult for self-driving cars to see the lines on the road. It might lead to an accident. The computer system in the car can also get hacked (非法入侵) by someone, causing it to crash.
It’s clear that there is a lot of work to do to make self-driving cars a common and safe sight on our roads. And China is taking the lead in making this happen.
63．Which of the following is a benefit of self-driving cars according to the passage
A．They don’t need parking space. B．They can teach people how to drive.
C．They allow disabled people to travel more easily. D．They cost less money to make and repair.
64．Why can self-driving cars help reduce road accidents
A．Because they can correct human mistakes while driving.
B．Because their computers can predict all road accidents.
C．Because computers do not have attention problems.
D．Because they can see clearly even in bad weathers.
65．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A．The weaknesses of self-driving cars. B．The benefits of having a human driver.

（22-23八年级·广东广州·期末）Wuyi Rock Tea is a kind of Oolong tea. It got its name from the place where it’s produced—Wuyi Mountain in Fujian Province. The tea trees usually grow on rock cracks（缝隙）. The traditional home of Rock Tea is only from a small area in the mountain. Wuyi Rock Tea is famous for its rich smell and good flavour. There are different kinds. The best is Dahongpao.
With its long history, Wuyi Rock Tea dates back to the Shang Dynasty. People used to send it to the emperor as a tribute（贡品）. In 2006, the skills of making Wuyi Rock Tea were added to China’s national intangible cultural heritage list.
Zhang Huichun, 65, is a master of making Wuyi Rock Tea. In 1980, he learned to make the tea and opened a tea factory. To his surprise, the skills were very complex. After 10 years of learning, he could finally make the tea by himself. Zhang said there were 13 steps to make it, including drying, shaking and roasting（焙火）. The most challenging for him is shaking. It takes strength and patience to shake the tea leaves by holding the round bamboo
trays. “You have to decide when the best time is to stop based on the color,” Zhang said. “Sometimes you stop after shaking dozens of（几十）times, while sometimes it can be hundreds of times. Only years of experience can help you figure it out（弄明白）.”
“The last step—roasting—is also important. With three stages, it usually takes more than 20 hours! Each stage needs temperatures from 125℃ to 155℃. Tea makers have to keep a close eye on the process. Every 50 minutes, you have to turn over the leaves, or it might burn,” Zhang said.
Zhang is already a master, but he is still learning. “The most fascinating part is that every step is full of changes—different tea trees, weather and temperatures. Every time is an adventure.”
In recent years, Zhang has often worked with schools to train tea makers. “It’s my responsibility to pass on the traditional skills,” he said.
67．Wuyi Rock Tea got its name from ________.
A．a mountain B．rock cracks C．its smell D．tea trees
68．The underlined word “complex” in paragraph 3 most probably means ________.
A．special B．difficult C．strange D．clever
69．Why is shaking the most challenging step according to Zhang Huichun
A．Tea makers need years of experience in order to tell when to stop shaking.
B．Tea makers have to shake hundreds of times in order to get the right colour.
C．Tea makers need to spend more than 20 hours shaking the tree leaves.
D．Tea makers have to keep a close eye on the leaves, or it will burn.
70．Which can be the best title of this passage
A．Wuyi Mountain is calling B．The history of the famous tea
C．Wuyi Rock Tea—traditional treasure D．Schools try to pass on the traditional tea
【答案】67．A 68．B 69．A 70．C

68．词句猜测题。根据“To his surprise, the skills were very complex. After 10 years of learning, he could finally
make the tea by himself.”可知，令他惊讶的是，这些技巧非常复杂。经过十年的学习，他终于可以自己泡茶了。因此complex意为“复杂的”，此处指制茶工艺是很难的，与difficult同义。故选B。
69．细节理解题。根据“Sometimes you stop after shaking dozens of（几十）times, while sometimes it can be hundreds of times. Only years of experience can help you figure it out（弄明白）.”可知，有时候摇了几十次就停了，有时候摇了几百次。只有多年的经验才能帮你弄清楚。由此可知张回春认为，摇晃是最具挑战性的一步，因为制茶师需要多年的经验才能知道何时停止摇晃。故选A。
70．最佳标题题。通读全文，可知这篇短文主要介绍了武夷岩茶的特点和制作过程。选项C“武夷岩茶——传统瑰宝”作为标题最为合适。故选C。

（22-23八年级·广东广州·期末）Do you know any 9-year-old kids who have started their own museums When Theodore Roosevelt was only nine, he and two of his cousins opened the “Roosevelt Museum of Natural History”. The museum was in Roosevelt’s bedroom. It had a total of 12 samples. On show were a few seashells, some dead butterflies, some birds’ nests and so on. Young Roosevelt was proud of his small museum.
Born in New York in 1858, Theodore Roosevelt was not always healthy. “I was a sickly boy,” he once wrote. Roosevelt had a health condition called asthma. He often found it hard to breathe. Instead of playing, he studied nature then read and wrote about it.
Roosevclt’s interest in nature sometimes got him into trouble. Once, his mother found several dead mice in the icebox. She required that the mice be thrown out. “This was indeed a loss of science,” Roosevelt said later.
Because Roosevelt was often sickly as a boy, his body was small and weak. When he was about 12, his father asked him to improve his body. Roosevelt began to do exercise. He didn’t become strong quickly. But he
did decide to face life’s challenges with a strong spirit. That decision stayed with Roosevelt during his whole life. Finally, he was an active, healthy person. He enjoyed adventures, and he loved the outdoors.
In 1900, at the age of 41, Roosevelt became the Vice President (副总统). A year later, President McKinley, was shot and killed. Roosevelt became the 26th President at 42 years old. He was the youngest leader in the country.

（22-23八年级·广东广州·期末）One night as I went to the supermarket to buy some groceries（日用品）, something unusual happened to me.It made me review the meaning of life.
As soon as I went through the glass doors, I could tell something unusual was happening at the cash register（收银台）. I saw a cashier taking a few items （物品）out of a customer’s bag. The shopper was an old woman. I couldn’t even begin to describe to you how sad this woman looked. I stood there for a second and quickly realized that the cashier was taking items off the bill to cut down the payment.
I walked quickly over to the cash register, pointed to the items that she was about to put behind her and then pointed at my bag, showing that I would pay for them. She understood. After putting those items back in the bag at the register, she again went to help the woman with her card, but it still didn’t work. I looked at the screen to see the number, took some cash out of my bag, handed it to the cashier and then quickly walked away.
The old woman was a bit nervous about her card and didn’t notice me at all. When the cashier told her that she didn’t have to pay a cent, she was confused（茫然的）.
I didn’t walk back into the supermarket, but I felt so proud. I was really happy that I was able to help the old woman out and hopefully bring some joy and happiness into her life.
What is happiness As you can imagine, there are a lot of answers. Some people say that giving is a kind of happiness; it gives people warmth and joy.

After graduating from Dartmouth College in 1925, he studied at Lincoln College, Oxford with the plan to get a doctor degree (博士学位). However, he returned to the United States without getting it. After that, Theodore Geisel used the title “Dr.” because his father always hoped that his son would get a doctor degree.
Theodore Seuss Geisel was not only a writer but also a colorful cartoonist. Before World War II, he wrote children’s books. After World War II started, he drew cartoons. After the war, he returned to writing children’s books. In 1954, he learned that children were not interested in reading because their books were boring. To encourage reading, he wrote The Cat in the Hat using only 236 basic words. After its success, he went on to write
many other children’s books, including such all-time favorites as Horton Hatches the Egg, Green Eggs and Ham, Dr. Seuss’s ABC, I Can Read with My Eyes Shut! and Hop on Pop.

You may not know their name, but you’ve probably seen photos of them swimming in hot springs on social media. They’re called capybaras（水豚）, a kind of cute animals with some amazing facts.
They are big. As the world’s largest rodents（啮齿动物）, adult capybaras weigh up to 50 kg. They are as heavy as some humans! They are up to about 130cm tall. Although they are fat, they can swim fast at a speed of up to 35km an hour.

The professor said, “The screen is invented to let people experience things like far-away world-class restaurants without leaving their own home.”A student at Meiji University tasted chocolate she saw on the screen. She said, “It’s sweet like a chocolate sauce（酱汁）.”

（22-23八年级·广东广州·期末）Classic Chinese cartoons bring joy to most of us. Last month, three classic Chinese cartoons came out in the cinemas again. Let’s see how old artists put Chinese culture and art into the cartoons to make them classic.
The Legend of Sealed Book tells the story of the boy Dansheng. He practices great tricks（魔法）from the book to help people. The film uses face painting from the Peking Opera. It helps to show the characters’ personalities（特征）. Lovely Dansheng looks like wawasheng, roles for kids in Peking Opera. A bad person in the story looks like a fool, with a large white part in the center of his face.
Little Tadpole Looking for Mummy is China’s first ink（墨水）wash cartoon. Artists drew all the animals, plants and rocks with ink and brushes. They learned from the great artist Qi Baishi. Though it’s only about 15 minutes long, it took lots of work. Artists drew everything by hand. One second of the cartoon needed 24 pictures! Fifty-nine years later, the 2020 cartoon series Fog Hills of Five Elements also uses this style.
Pigsy Eats Watermelon is China’s first paper cutting cartoon. This 15-minute cartoon came out in 1958. Artists cut Zhu Bajie out of colored paper. Then they moved its body parts and let it eat the watermelon. Making a paper cutting cartoon was not easy. The characters’ moves were not easy either. After a lot of work, they tried again and again and finally made it!

（22-23八年级·广东广州·期末）Could you imagine cars driving without human drivers Recently, China has made a big step toward self-driving technology. This August, more and more driverless taxis run on roads in many big cities in China.
Why do we develop self-driving cars Self-driving cars give us many benefits. They use computers to sense the things around them and make better use of space. This means fewer traffic jams and better parking of cars. Many people cannot drive for various reasons, including age, disability, or lack of experience. Now, they can get around more easily. Driving becomes more convenient.
According to a research, each year, over 1.3 million people die in car accidents around the world, and many more get hurt. Self-driving cars can reduce (减少) road accidents by 90% and save a lot of money. The main cause of car accidents is human mistakes. By using computers, self-driving cars don’t make poor decisions or lose attention like humans do. They can improve driving safety.
But self-driving cars aren’t perfect. If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars can’t react (反应) as fast as a human driver can. Also, during weather events like heavy snow, it will be difficult for self-driving cars to see the lines on the road. It might lead to an accident. The computer system in the car can also get hacked (非法入侵) by someone, causing it to crash.
It’s clear that there is a lot of work to do to make self-driving cars a common and safe sight on our roads. And China is taking the lead in making this happen.
63．Which of the following is a benefit of self-driving cars according to the passage
A．They don’t need parking space. B．They can teach people how to drive.
C．They allow disabled people to travel more easily. D．They cost less money to make and repair.
64．Why can self-driving cars help reduce road accidents
A．Because they can correct human mistakes while driving.
B．Because their computers can predict all road accidents.
C．Because computers do not have attention problems.
D．Because they can see clearly even in bad weathers.
65．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A．The weaknesses of self-driving cars. B．The benefits of having a human driver.
C．How road accidents usually happen. D．How the computers in self-driving cars work.
66．What do we know from the last paragraph
A．Many countries are working together to develop self-driving cars.
B．Self-driving cars need clean and safe roads to run.
C．We can already see self-driving cars everywhere in China.
D．China is trying to make self-driving cars safer and more common.
（22-23八年级·广东广州·期末）Wuyi Rock Tea is a kind of Oolong tea. It got its name from the place where it’s produced—Wuyi Mountain in Fujian Province. The tea trees usually grow on rock cracks（缝隙）. The traditional home of Rock Tea is only from a small area in the mountain. Wuyi Rock Tea is famous for its rich smell and good flavour. There are different kinds. The best is Dahongpao.
With its long history, Wuyi Rock Tea dates back to the Shang Dynasty. People used to send it to the emperor as a tribute（贡品）. In 2006, the skills of making Wuyi Rock Tea were added to China’s national intangible cultural heritage list.
Zhang Huichun, 65, is a master of making Wuyi Rock Tea. In 1980, he learned to make the tea and opened a tea factory. To his surprise, the skills were very complex. After 10 years of learning, he could finally make the tea by himself. Zhang said there were 13 steps to make it, including drying, shaking and roasting（焙火）. The most challenging for him is shaking. It takes strength and patience to shake the tea leaves by holding the round bamboo trays. “You have to decide when the best time is to stop based on the color,” Zhang said. “Sometimes you stop after shaking dozens of（几十）times, while sometimes it can be hundreds of times. Only years of experience can help you figure it out（弄明白）.”
“The last step—roasting—is also important. With three stages, it usually takes more than 20 hours! Each stage needs temperatures from 125℃ to 155℃. Tea makers have to keep a close eye on the process. Every 50 minutes, you have to turn over the leaves, or it might burn,” Zhang said.
Zhang is already a master, but he is still learning. “The most fascinating part is that every step is full of changes—different tea trees, weather and temperatures. Every time is an adventure.”
In recent years, Zhang has often worked with schools to train tea makers. “It’s my responsibility to pass on the traditional skills,” he said.
67．Wuyi Rock Tea got its name from ________.
A．a mountain B．rock cracks C．its smell D．tea trees
68．The underlined word “complex” in paragraph 3 most probably means ________.

（22-23八年级·广东深圳·期末）In the digital （数字的） world, it is far more convenient to send a text or email than send a letter. Is the writing style with a traditional pen and paper worth passing on Is it out of date Well, some people believe that writing is still useful, so maybe it’s not time to throw away your ballpoint or fountain pen yet.
Nowadays, when people require things in writing, a typed, electronic document（文件） will be mostly accepted. It could be written, saved and sent by email. But making a handwritten document is special. It needs
planning and thought, as well as practicing your handwriting. It helps you remember the spelling of words.
Some experts believe it is helpful to our brains to write with pen and paper. This is especially true for students. It is because typing notes into a computer doesn’t have enough feedback（反馈） to the brain. However, writing with pen and paper does.
According to BBC Work life website, when taking notes by hand, our brains take part in summarizing, organizing and words building. In other words, it helps train our brains. And handwriting may do good to fine skills in our hands and fingers.
Besides, writing down notes, shopping lists, or messages on the back of an envelope can still be useful in our daily lives. A handwritten letter to a friend or loved one may be more meaningful.
Katherine Moller, a writer, told the BBC, “In a world where it is so easy to go online to send an email or a fast text, it is so personal and joyful to read a letter from others, because they choose to spend some time with you.”
84．What does “It” in Paragraph 2 refer（指代） to

B．Sending an email through computers.
