Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history Many people would think of Confucius, whose birthday was September 28. Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect (尊敬) him for his contribution (贡献) to the education today.
Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn’t give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.
Later, he became a teacher and started the first public (公立的) school in Chinese history. At that time only children from rich families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime and travelled with his students from country to country.
Today, people still follow Confucius’ lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy(值得) to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them.”
He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled (困惑的). All thinking but no study makes people lazy.”
Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wisdom (智慧). His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners (礼仪). “A person should be strict (严格的) with himself, but be kind to others.” he said.

We all need cash(现金) in order to live our live. However. something called digital currency is slowly taking the place of cash. A currency is kind of money. Usually, we use currency when we talk about a country’s money. If something is digital, it only exists(存在) on a computer. So "digital currency” means money that only exists on computers.
Lots of people have digital currency accounts(账户). They use a credit card(信用卡) to change their real money into digital money, and then the money goes into the digital currency account. A lot of people wonder, “Why in the world should I change my real money into digital currency " This is a fair question, but there’s a good answer. If you want to buy something online, then you usually have to use digital currency. For example. If you’re in China and you want to buy something in Canada, then you’ll have to pay with the digital currency.
Many people still don't trust digital currency. Some people think that if they can't hold their money in their band, then it doesn’t seem real. These people don't feel comfortable when they see numbers on a computer screen. The computer tells them that their money is safe but these people don't really feel safe. Another problem is security(安全). There are hackers all over the world. A hacker is a person who steals computer information. If a hacker gets the password of your digital currency account, he or she can steal your money.
You have to decide whether or not you trust this new invention. Just remember one thing: If you want to buy something online, then you probably won't have a choice. You'll have to use digital currency.
4．What does Para. 1 mainly tell us
A．What digital currency is. B．How to use digital currency.
C．Why we all need cash to live. D．Where to find digital currency.
5．What is the "good answer" to the question in Para. 2
A．You cannot shop online without digital currency.
B．You cannot buy anything in China with real money.
C．You cannot buy anything in Canada without digital currency.
D．You can use both real money and digital currency to shop online.
6．What is the first problem mentioned in Para.3
A．Digital currency is not safe enough.
B．Many people still don't trust digital currency.
C．Some people can't hold their money in their hand.
D．Some people don't feel comfortable with numbers.
7．Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A．Two kinds of money B．The end of real money
C．Currency around the world D．Money that you can't touch

Like most parents, mine spent much time advising me to take part in activities outside school. However, they never forced (强迫) me, and I never found anything I was interested in. Then one day a friend at school told me about a local dance group and asked if I wanted to go with her. So after school we went to talk to the dance teacher. She explained everything to us and we both decided to join.
My parents were really pleased to hear I’d finally chosen dancing. They think if you develop an interest in doing something yourself, it will be easier to succeed.
I’ve now been attending the dancing classes for 3 years and I really enjoy it. There are classes of swing dance, ballet (芭蕾舞) , street dance and folk dance. I practice street dance and I’m quite good at it. I also help out leading some of the younger children.
We also take part in events like local and even national dance shows, and relatives can see their children perform. My parents are proud of me as they tell me all the time.
Now I’ll be too old to continue (继续) dancing with the group. However, I have already made plans to continue with them. The dance school has become very successful and is opening new classes. The director has asked if I’d like to be one of the group leaders and of course I said “yes”

（23-24八年级上·江苏苏州·阶段练习）The Breakfast Club
“What do you usually have for breakfast ” I asked my students and heard the following:
“I never eat breakfast.”
“I don’t get time to eat.”
“I eat some bread and hurry to school.”
Sometimes I didn’t have my breakfast or just got an iced coffee, so I wanted to do something for myself and my students. I started the Breakfast Club. My idea was to have breakfast with a student every day and learn about them. Sometimes I would bring some special food, such as cupcakes or doughnuts（甜甜圈）, when I felt the student worked hard at school.
When I shared my new idea with my class, they were excited. They talked about what food to bring when it was their turn（轮到的机会）, and who would get the first invitation（邀请）. When I told the parents of my class the idea, they welcomed it, too.
The next day, I put an invitation on Nicholas’s desk. He was often late and had difficulty with his schoolwork. When most of my students laughed and talked with one another, he was always alone. He didn’t smile a lot. But when Nicholas saw the invitation, there was a big smile on his face.
The next morning, he was my first student to get to school. We sat at my desk and ate a meal of cereal and juice. I learned that he had two dogs and he played soccer with his father at weekends. We both enjoyed the meal. Later that day, I put an invitation on a new desk, cereal. I saw many benefits as my students had their turn to eat breakfast with me. No one was late for school; they worked harder in school; they were happy to talk with me and other teachers.

I saved the grain carefully and finally had enough to plant. I built a wall around my garden to keep the wild goats away.
Then when my crop bore its fruit, the birds discovered it. The birds were not afraid of my dog at all. I shot them but as soon as I walked away, they returned. At last, I killed some birds and hung them among the crop, hoping they would serve as the scarecrows, which turned out to be successful. By harvest time, I had nearly two bushels of rice and two and a half bushels of wheat.
With my new grain to store, I found a new problem. The fine grain ran through my baskets. It took me nearly two months to form and dry two ugly pots—one for rice and one for wheat.
Next I formed a clay oven (炉灶) and made some other tools from hard wood and cloth to bake (烘烤) bread. I made and baked bread in my oven. I spent the third year on the island in farming and baking.
Soon after that, I began to think of my days sailing in a tidy boat with Xury. I wished to have a boat and explore the island by sea.
I tried to turn over the ship’ boat that I had seen washed up, but failed. I was still determined to have a boat. So I chose a strong tree and spent weeks cutting it down. Then it took me months to turn it from tree to boat.
When it was time to launch (下水), I realized I had made my boat too far from the nearest stream. The boat was far too heavy for me to move. I tried bringing the water to the boat instead of the boat to the water. I soon saw it would take me twenty years of constant labor.
I celebrated my fourth year on the island with two boats, but I was no closer to a sea journey.

（23-24八年级上·江苏无锡·阶段练习）Imagine (想象) that your body is like a factory. It takes in “materials” and puts out “goods (商品)”. If you start with poor materials, it means that your goods won’t be very good. But if you use better materials, your goods will be much better.
What does this mean in real life It means getting the right sleep, eating food that is good for you, and exercising. You might not think about this much as a student, but believe me—as you get older, it becomes very important.
It’s good to start building a better “factory” when you are young. Getting into the habit of living healthy can help you in many ways. If you get enough sleep (not too little, not too much), you will be able to focus (集中) better on your studies. Eating healthy food helps your body grow strong. And exercise can help you stay fit.
This sounds like a lot to do. So start small—try to go to bed at the same time each night and wake up at the same time as well. Find time to eat an apple each day—they say “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”. Try to exercise just a little each day, even if it’s only for 10 minutes. Doing these small things will help you build a great “factory”.

A．Materials. B．Goods. C．A factory. D．An apple.

Lu Xun is one of the greatest Chinese writers of the 20th century. Besides his famous stories, he also wrote many influential articles about the living conditions of Chinese people.
Born in 1881 to a wealthy family, Lu Xun had a happy childhood (童年). In 1893, however, his grandfather, a senior government official, was put into prison (监狱) for taking money. At the same time, his father became seriously (严重地) ill. From that time on, his family were no longer (不再) accepted by their relatives and friends. These early experiences greatly influenced his writing.
By the time Lu Xun arrived in Nanjing to study at university in 1899, he already believed that Chinese society had to change and become modern. In 1902 he went to study in Japan. There, he began writing articles for several Chinese student magazines. He showed a gift (天赋) for writing and translating and he even wrote several books, although none was popular. He returned to China in 1909 because he was in need of money.
After working for several years as a teacher in Beijing, Lu Xun again returned to writing. In 1918, he wrote his famous short story Diary of a Madman. It was the first Chinese novel published (出版) using the everyday language that people spoke, which helped make it a great success. This, together with his novel The True Story of Ah Q (1921), made Lu Xun a leading Chinese writer.
Although successful, Lu Xun still worried greatly about China’s future. In 1927, he moved to Shanghai and gave up writing stories in order to devote (奉献) himself to what he called “pen warfare”. He then only wrote articles which called on the people to fight against the government. For this, the government stopped him from publishing any more books. He was forced to write his articles using false names.
Since his death in 1936, Lu Xun’s importance and influence have grown. Today, many of his writings are included in school textbooks and his works are read by millions around the world.
29．Which of the following greatly influenced Lu Xun’s writing according to the passage
A．The people he met in Japan. B．The experiences in his early life.
C．Working as a teacher in Beijing. D．His father’s being put into prison.
30．The underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.
A．the success of Diary of a Madman B．the use of everyday language
C．the first Chinese novel D．The True Story of Ah Q
31．In what order did these events take place in Lu Xun’s life
a. The government stopped him from publishing books.
b. He wrote Diary of a Madman.
c. His father became ill.
d. He moved to Shanghai.
e. His writings were put into textbooks.
A．c-a-b-d-e B．c- b-d-a-e C．a-c-d-b-e D．a-d-b-c-e

Algae (水藻) are very simple plants. They grow in fresh water or salty water. Seaweed (海藻) is algae that grow in salty water. Seaweed is red or brown in color.

During my travels through the mountains of Greece, I was only ever scared once. It was dusk and as I walked alone, I came across six large wolves that were feeding on the body of a dead animal. I had heard many stories about wolves as a child and it was this animal that I feared more than any other. The wolves before me were huge, at least 6 feet long and covered with thick grey fur.
As I went near, the wolves left the blood-covered snow around the body and started walking towards me, one after another. They stopped about 20 metres from me and watched. The lead wolf raised his head into the air and took in a deep breath, as if he was smelling me. The animals looked both beautiful and frightening, but I knew I could not show them my fear. As I drew nearer, the lead wolf raised its head once more but this time made a long, loud cry. The awful cry can be heard across the silent valley. I had never heard a more frightening sound. I was almost sure it was a sign to be death.
Every moment I expected to see the wolves run at me. I knew my only hope was to pretend (假装) I had no fear I walked past the line of wolves, like a general (将军) moving among his soldiers. They cried out loud again. But when they saw that their cry did not cause me to change my way or make me run, they feared to come after me, so they let me pass and returned to the dead animal.
If I had turned back or tried to run away when they marched out to meet me, I am sure the wolves would attack me in a moment. But my show of false (假的) courage intimidated them and kept them back.
40．Why didn’t the wolves attack the man

American and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes there are some important differences between British English and American English.
First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don’t say each word separately. They say words together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don’t know. Or they may say “Whaddya say ” instead of “What did you say ” However, the British are more careful. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.
Sound is not only the difference. Words sometimes have different meanings too. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries.
Many expressions (短语) are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you “phone them up”. In America, you “give them a call”. When you are saying goodbye in England you might say “Cheerio!” In America you might say “See you later.”
There’re also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. They say “Do you have a storybook ” But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say “Have you a storybook ”
Most languages are like this. Languages change overtime. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. This is what has happened to English. It can also happen to other languages, such as French. Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France.
43．What does the word “separately” mean in this passage It means “________”.
A．含糊地 B．快速地 C．分开地 D．简略地
44．The vocabulary for cars and driving is ________.

Today I went to Sam’s school in the UK. It was really different from my school in China.
Girls wore grey skirts and white shirts, boys wore grey trousers, and everyone wore the school tie.
Some of Sam’s lessons were a bit strange for me. We were reading Shakespeare in the English lesson, and there were quite some old words like “thou” and “thee” to mean “you”. In history we studied 20th Century China. It was strange hearing a foreign side of history—and hearing English people trying to say all our Chinese names!
Classes were also a lot more relaxing than in China. Teachers were called “sir” or “miss”, everyone shouted answers and raised their hands in classes. It was more like a debate than a class. A bell rang at the end of each lesson and everyone jumped up to go to the next class.
At break we bought potato chips and cookies in the dining room. Lunch was later than in China at 1 o’clock. We had big plates of pie with carrots. For dessert there was hot sweet rice called rice pudding.
It was good that I’d had an excellent lunch, because at Sam’s school, Monday afternoons are taken up with (被……占据) sports.
I played my first game of netball-a bit like basketball, but with some differences. Luckily, I’d had a quick look in the rule book before I tried to join in the game.
48．The second paragraph shows that ________.
A．they wear uniforms in Sam’s school
B．lessons are different between schools in China and the UK
C．there is a break of 30 minutes every day in the school
D．sports take up much lime in Sam’s school
49．The underlined word “debate” in Paragraph 4 means ________.
A．fight B．exam C．discussion D．suggestion
50．What class does Sam have on Monday afternoon
A．Maths B．History C．PE D．Music
51．What’s the best title for the passage
A．Relaxed classes in the UK B．Clothes, food and sports in a UK school
C．Strange lessons in Sam’s school D．A day in Sam’s school

In Britain you may often hear “Drop in any time” or “Come to see me soon”, but you can’t really do that. People just say those things to make you feel welcome. It is better to telephone before visiting someone at home. If you receive a written invitation to an event that says “RSVP”, you should reply to let the person who sent the invitation know whether or not you plan to go.
You should never accept an invitation unless you really plan to go. You may refuse by saying, “Thank you for inviting me, but I will not be able to come.” If, after accepting, you are unable to go, be sure to tell those who are expecting you as soon as possible that you will not be there. Although it is not necessarily expected (期望) that you give a gift to your host, it is considered (被认为) polite to do so, especially if you have been invited for a meal. Flowers, chocolate, or a small gift are all appropriate (合适的). A thank-you note or telephone call after the visit is also considered polite and is an appropriate way to express your appreciation (感谢) for the invitation.

①With the strong development of Chinese and Western culture, more and more people go to different countries for exchange (交换) and learning. As the learners, we need to know the cultural differences (差异) between Chinese and western cultures. In this way, it can help the learners learn the second language well.
② First, western people express themselves directly, while Chinese act oppositely (相反地). We Chinese are implicative (含蓄的) all the time. When Chinese people get angry or unsatisfied, most of them will say nothing. When a Chinese acts like this in front of a westerner, the westerner will have no idea about how the Chinese feels and the westerner just treats the Chinese as if nothing happened. So if you are unsatisfied (不满的) with a westerner, you just need to speak it out. Don’t hide your feelings, because he or she doesn’t like or can’t understand your thoughts.
③Second, the idea about spending money is different between Chinese and western people. We Chinese seem to be more worried about tomorrow, while western people like to spend tomorrow’s money. That is a tradition. So we prefer to save money. Unlike Chinese, western people believe that they should enjoy at this moment and tomorrow is another thing. So they enjoy everything they have now, having no more plans for the future.
④ But remember, there is no judgement (评判) about which one is better. We just need to know the differences and learn to understand each other. What we should do is to respect each other’s culture and get along with each other peacefully.
61．What can we learn from the third paragraph
A．Chinese like to make much money and save money.
B．Chinese and westerners have different views on money.
C．Westerners don’t like saving any money in their lives.
D．Chinese and westerners all make plans for the future.

（23-24八年级上·江苏扬州·阶段练习）
An old carpenter (木匠) was ready to leave his job. He told his boss about his plans to leave the house-building business. He wanted to live a more comfortable life with his wife. The boss was sorry to see his good worker go. He asked the carpenter to build one last house for him.
The carpenter said yes, but it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. Soon the carpenter finished his work. The boss came to check the house, then he handed the front door key to the carpenter. “This is your house,” he said, “my gift to you.” What a shock! What a shame (羞愧)!
If he could build the house one more time, he would do it all so differently. Now he had to live in the house he built carelessly.
So it is with us. We build our lives in a careless way. Sometimes we do not give the job our best work. Then we look at the situation and find that we are now living in the house we built. If we knew that, we would do it differently.
Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Build it carefully. It is the only life you will ever build.
Someone says, “Life is a do-it-yourself job.” That is to say, the choices (选择) you made in the past decide your life today and the choices you make today decide your life tomorrow.
63．Why did the carpenter want to leave the house-building business
A．Because he made a lot of money.
B．Because his wife wanted him to do so.
C．Because his boss didn’t give him enough money.
D．Because he wanted to live a more comfortable life.
64．The Chinese meaning of the word “shock” in Paragraph 2 is ________.
A．生气 B．震惊 C．愉悦 D．烦恼
65．What is the best title for this story
