（24-25 八年级下·江苏镇江·阶段练习）They make people scream in fear, yet people pay for a chance to
ride them. What are they They are roller coasters, of course.
Hundreds of roller coasters make people excited at theme parks around the country. The first roller coaster
in the United States was a train. People built it in 1800 in order to carry coal (煤) down a mountain. When it was

speed of 6 miles per hour. The entire ride lasted almost three hours.
Modern coaster tracks (轨道) are measured (计量) in feet rather than miles. The rides last minutes instead
of hours, but they are far more exciting. Some reach a speed of 100 miles per hour.
People started building real roller coasters in the 1880s. Some gave such a wild ride that people often got
hurt on them. Today’s roller coasters are not dangerous. Safety bars(座椅) and harnesses (安全带) hold riders in

（22-23 八年级下·江苏扬州·阶段练习）Is it very interesting to travel by plane For people who fly often
in economy class(经济舱), the answer may be no. They may feel very tired because of the limited room. But
according to Ron Soret, an airplane scientist, there are some ways to enjoy the journey better.
Sit near the front of the plane. When choosing seats, choosing a seat near the front of the plane will have a
smoother ride. Soret says, “The front part of the plane is usually the most comfortable. You hardly feel the
turbulence(骚乱) if it is not very serious.” Soret also says the front part of the plane is the quietest.
Taking an aisle seat(靠过道座位) is also a good choice. Soret says the aisle seats have bigger leg room. But
sitting on the aisle comes with the duty of getting up when fellow passengers in the row have to use the bathroom.

of your home. And if you are too cold, you can ask for blankets.

windows were broken and there were bits of wood and boxes on the ground. Two slaves, Sambo and Quimbo,

“Sambo,’’ said Legree, “take these new slaves down to the cabins.”

Table manners are how to behave when you eat a meal. They include how to handle knives, forks and
spoons and how to eat in a polite manner. To behave well abroad, you are to know some table manners.
EATING MANNERS
Japan: It is “perfectly” okay to slurp (发出啧啧声) when you eat noodles. Unlike making big noises,
slurping slightly is not rude. Japanese also say it tastes better if you slurp.
Russia: Your wrists should be placed on the edge of the table while eating, fork in left hand, and knife in
the right. It is not good manners to rest them on your lap. Keep your elbows off the table. Leave some food on
your plate to show that the host has given you enough to eat.
France: Never discuss money or religion over dinner. What is different from the manners in Russia is that
finishing everything on your plate is considered good manners.
Mexico: Whenever you catch the eye of someone who’s eating, even a stranger, it’s good manners to say
“provecho”, which means enjoy. In Mexico, dining is more than a meal. It’s a social occasion — lunches are
seldom quick and suppers can last for hours. Where you sit matters in the country. You must say “enjoy your meal”
before you leave the table.
DRINKING MANNERS
America: If you empty a bottle into someone’s glass, it obliges that person to buy the next bottle. It’s polite
to put the last drops into your own glass.
Australia: In a pub it’s usual to buy a round of drinks for everyone in your group. When it’s your turn, say
“It’s my round”. When it’s their round, they will buy it for you. Don’t leave before you’ve bought a round.
Japan: Don’t fill your own glass of alcohol. Instead, you should pour for others and wait for them to do it
for you.

（23-24 八年级下·湖南长沙·期末）阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
In 2004, the world came alive to The Chorus, a French film which tells us how a teacher brings love and
hope to his students through music and then makes a difference to their lives.
Now the similar story happened at Haiga Primary School in Liupanshui, Southwest China’s Guizhou
Province, where Gu Ya, a 37-year-old teacher, helps children in mountainous areas learn to read music, play
instruments, and start rock bands.
In September 2016, Gu Ya, a then rock singer, arrived at the school as a Chinese teacher. “When I got there,
there was only a teacher and fewer than ten students in two grades. It was really surprising. The kids were too shy
to look at me in the eyes,” Gu said. “The day I arrived, Zheng Long, the headmaster of the school, told me that we
had to care about not only the children’s studies and lives, but also their health in mind, helping them learn to
dream and be more confident.”
To open the hearts of the students and bring them confidence, Gu decided to teach them music. He taught
students in grades one and two ukulele (尤克里里) and guitar, and students in grades three and four drums or bass
guitar (贝斯吉他). In 2018, the school started its first rock band called Yu (Meeting). Not long after that, the
second band “Unknown Boy”, and the other bands “Naughty Elf” and “Haiga Shaonian” were also set up one
after another.
Zheng Long was surprised at the power of music. Many children who learned to play music became more
outgoing and got better grades in exams. “Music brings them a part of their dream. It was the old guitar that
brought new life to Haiga Primary School.”
Xiong Ting, a 15-year-old girl, was a student there before. “Thanks to Mr. Gu, I was no longer a shy and
quiet girl. I hope I could become a music teacher like him and bring change and hope to others.”
1．Was Gu Ya a music teacher when he got to Haiga Primary School
2．How did Gu feel when he first got to Haiga Primary School
3．Why did Gu decide to teach the students music
4．What changes did the students have because of learning to play music
5．Do you like music Why or why not
【答案】1．No (, he wasn’t). 2．He was really surprised. 3．To open the hearts of the students and bring
them confidence. 4．They became more outgoing and got better grades in exams. 5．Yes (, I do). Because
it helps me relax. (合理即可)

In shops, restaurants and supermarkets around Beijing, you may notice a special place about 10 square
meters in size. It is a service corner for outdoor workers to rest or to get some necessary things like water,
medicine and battery chargers (充电器).
These spaces are free for all outdoor workers to use. Without them, they have to take a break by the
roadside.
One restaurant near Xiyuan Subway Station provided space for the service corner. “Working in the
restaurant, I can see deliverymen (外卖员) all the time. I know how hard it is for them to make money,” said Li
Hui, the restaurant’s owner. “They sometimes can’t get hot water in winter. Service corners almost solve such
problems. That’s what I want to do for them. I hope the service corner can warm outdoor workers’ hearts.”
Now there are about 27, 000 service corners in Beijing, and it plans to add another 3, 900. Before the
service corners were built, 40-year-old deliveryman Zhang hoped to take a break indoors in order to get warm in
winter or to cool off in summer. But he usually didn’t. “It is comfortable to rest indoors. But I don’t want to
trouble shop owners. So, I would rest on my bike and play with my phone to relax,” he said.
“I have to save money for my family, and sometimes I am so busy. So, I don’t even notice the service
corners. Neither do my co-workers. Maybe it will take a little time for me to get used to them,” Zhang said.
1．Where can people see the service corner for outdoor workers around Beijing
2．Why is the delivery men’s job difficult according to Li Hui
3．How many service corners will there be in Beijing in all
4．What did Zhang do to relax himself in the past
5．Do delivery men always rest themselves in the service corner
【答案】1．In shops, restaurants and supermarkets around Beijing. 2．Because they sometimes can’t get hot
water in winter. 3．About 30, 900. 4．He rested on his bike and played with his phone. 5．No.
【导语】本文介绍了在北京的商店、饭店以及超市周围设立的为户外工作人员服务的角落。
1．根据“In shops, restaurants and supermarkets around Beijing, you may notice a special place about 10 square
meters in size. It is a service corner for outdoor workers to rest or to get some necessary things like water,
medicine and battery chargers”可知，在北京的商店、餐馆和超市，你可能会注意到一个特别的地方，大约
10 平方米大小，这是一个为户外工作者服务的角落。故填 In shops, restaurants and supermarkets around
Beijing.
2．根据“I know how hard it is for them to make money...They sometimes can’t get hot water in winter.”可知，刘
辉认为快递员工作很辛苦是因为他们有时候冬天都喝不到热水。故填 Because they sometimes can’t get hot
water in winter.
3．根据“Now there are about 27, 000 service corners in Beijing, and it plans to add another 3, 900”可知，现在北
京大约有 27000 个服务角，并计划再增加 3900 个，所以一共将会有大约 30900 个。故填 About 30, 900.
4．根据“But I don’t want to trouble shop owners. So, I would rest on my bike and play with my phone to relax”
可知，他过去常常在自行车上玩手机。故填 He rested on his bike and played with his phone.
5．根据“I have to save money for my family, and sometimes I am so busy. So, I don’t even notice the service
corners. Neither do my co-workers.”可知有时候他们太忙，而注意不到服务角，所以他们并不总是去服务角
休息的。故填 No.

The natural world is filled with living things. Living things start out weak and small and slowly grow

things, too. Bees, ants, doves, dogs and cats—these are all living things.

depend on each other. If we pollute the rivers and oceans, fish may get sick or even die. Some birds live off fish. If
the birds eat the sick or dead fish, they may die off. Nature is a balance between all the living things on the planet.

线上。
April 22, 2024 marks the 55th World Earth Day. This year’s theme is “Planet vs. Plastics” (全球战塑). So,
I decided to try something different: a whole day without using any plastic. It sounded exciting, but it was quite
hard.
My morning started with a homemade breakfast in a glass bowl. But later when I tried to order juice as
usual, I had to give up because of those plastic cups. I faced a bigger problem at the supermarket. Almost
everything was wrapped (包装) in plastic—from fruits and vegetables to meat. It made me realize that plastic is
everywhere, making it hard to carry on with my no-plastic plan.
Plastic is widely used in our daily life. It can be made into all kinds of things such as bags, bottles and toys.
It’s tough (牢固的) and it’s really light. So we depend heavily on it.
But there’s one thing: Using too much plastic can be harmful to the environment. Humans use about one
million plastic bottles every minute, and more than 5 trillion plastic bags are used each year, according to a United
Nations report. The world produces 200 million tons of plastic waste each year, but only less than 10 percent has
been recycled. Most of them end up in the lakes, rivers and oceans, hurting animals and nature.
To make a difference, China stopped the production, sale and use of plastic shopping bags with a thickness
of less than 0.025 mm in 2008. From 2010 to 2020, China recycled 170 million tons of waste plastic. These have
helped reduce plastic waste.
Let’s join hands and make a clean and beautiful world.
1．What did the writer decide to do to support the World Earth Day
2．According to the passage, why is plastic useful but harmful (No more than 20 words.)
3．What can you do to help reduce plastic waste
【答案】1．He decided to try something different: a whole day without using any plastic. 2．Because plastic
is widely used in our daily life, but using too much plastic can be harmful to the environment. 3．I will try my
best not to use plastic products.
【导语】本文简述了塑料的广泛使用及其对环境的影响，特别是塑料垃圾对自然和动物的危害。同时，提
到了中国为减少塑料污染所采取的措施，并呼吁大家共同努力，保护环境，减少塑料使用。
1．根据“So, I decided to try something different: a whole day without using any plastic.”可知，作者决定尝试一
些不同的东西：一整天不使用任何塑料。故填 He decided to try something different: a whole day without using
any plastic.
2．根据“Plastic is widely used in our daily life.”及“But there’s one thing: Using too much plastic can be harmful
to the environment.”可知，因为塑料在我们的日常生活中被广泛使用，但使用过多的塑料会对环境有害。故
填 Because plastic is widely used in our daily life, but using too much plastic can be harmful to the environment.

ride them. What are they They are roller coasters, of course.
Hundreds of roller coasters make people excited at theme parks around the country. The first roller coaster
in the United States was a train. People built it in 1800 in order to carry coal (煤) down a mountain. When it was
no longer used as a coal train, it began a new life as an amusement (娱乐) ride. It went 18 miles downhill at a
speed of 6 miles per hour. The entire ride lasted almost three hours.
Modern coaster tracks (轨道) are measured (计量) in feet rather than miles. The rides last minutes instead
of hours, but they are far more exciting. Some reach a speed of 100 miles per hour.
People started building real roller coasters in the 1880s. Some gave such a wild ride that people often got
hurt on them. Today’s roller coasters are not dangerous. Safety bars(座椅) and harnesses (安全带) hold riders in
place. In addition, workers spend four hours each day checking the coasters. In some parks, computers monitor
(监控) the coasters throughout each ride.

（22-23 八年级下·江苏扬州·阶段练习）Is it very interesting to travel by plane For people who fly often
in economy class(经济舱), the answer may be no. They may feel very tired because of the limited room. But
according to Ron Soret, an airplane scientist, there are some ways to enjoy the journey better.
Sit near the front of the plane. When choosing seats, choosing a seat near the front of the plane will have a
smoother ride. Soret says, “The front part of the plane is usually the most comfortable. You hardly feel the
turbulence(骚乱) if it is not very serious.” Soret also says the front part of the plane is the quietest.
Taking an aisle seat(靠过道座位) is also a good choice. Soret says the aisle seats have bigger leg room. But
sitting on the aisle comes with the duty of getting up when fellow passengers in the row have to use the bathroom.
Paying attention to the temperature is important, too. Temperatures in the planes are usually similar to those
of your home. And if you are too cold, you can ask for blankets.

The boat arrived at a small town, and Legree and his slaves (奴隶) got off. Tom and the other men walked
all the way to the plantation.
They stopped in front of a house. It was large, but it looked empty and uncomfortable, the glass of some
windows were broken and there were bits of wood and boxes on the ground. Two slaves, Sambo and Quimbo,
were Legree’s two main helpers on the plantation, and they arrived with dogs.
“Don’t try to run away,’’ said Legree to Tom and the others, “or the dogs will follow you.”
“Sambo,’’ said Legree, “take these new slaves down to the cabins.”
The slaves followed Sambo to the cabins. They were in a row, near the plantation and far from the house.
Tom’s heart sank when he saw them. Each one had only one room, without any furniture.
They had to wait in line for their turn to cook a very poor meal. Then they all went to sleep on the floor in
the cabins.
Every day, from early in the morning until late in the evening, under the hot sun the slaves picked cotton.
When they finished, Legree weighed it, and there was whipping (鞭打) for the slaves who didn’t pick enough
cotton. Tom learnt to pick cotton quickly.

near Martha, and silently put a lot of his cotton into her sack.
“No, don’t!” said the woman, looking surprised. “They will punish you.”

you animal!” But when he left, Tom quickly gave her some more of his cotton. Suddenly, the beautiful new
woman put a large quantity of cotton in Tom’s sack.

What type of book do you like I prefer the book about Chinese culture. Here is an excerpt (选段).
The dragon is a great animal in Chinese culture. It brings the wind and rain. It is said that every year on the
second day of the second lunar (阴历的) month, the dragon wakes up from its winter sleep and raises its head.
Because of this, the day is called “Dragon Head-raising Day” (Longtaitou). This year, it falls on February21.
Old people believed that after Longtaitou, there would be more rain. And rain is very important to farming.
So they thought Longtaitou was the start of spring and farming.
People have many ways to celebrate the Longtaitou festival. The most popular one is to have a haircut.
Many believe that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to your uncles—mainly your mother’s
brothers. They hope getting a haircut on Longtaitou gets rid of (摆脱) bad luck.
Among Chinese people’s festival traditions, there is always a place for food. During the Longtaitou festival,
people eat food named after dragons. Noodles are called dragon’s beard (longxu). Dumplings are dragon’s ears
(long’er). And spring rolls are dragon’s scales (longlin).
People also hold activities like dragon dancing on the day. In some places in Shandong province, people
make dragon lanterns too. Small reed (芦苇) boats go down the rivers and carry the lanterns, which stand for
people’s best wishes and good luck.

Table manners are how to behave when you eat a meal. They include how to handle knives, forks and
spoons and how to eat in a polite manner. To behave well abroad, you are to know some table manners.
EATING MANNERS
Japan: It is “perfectly” okay to slurp (发出啧啧声) when you eat noodles. Unlike making big noises,
slurping slightly is not rude. Japanese also say it tastes better if you slurp.
Russia: Your wrists should be placed on the edge of the table while eating, fork in left hand, and knife in
the right. It is not good manners to rest them on your lap. Keep your elbows off the table. Leave some food on
your plate to show that the host has given you enough to eat.
France: Never discuss money or religion over dinner. What is different from the manners in Russia is that
finishing everything on your plate is considered good manners.
Mexico: Whenever you catch the eye of someone who’s eating, even a stranger, it’s good manners to say
“provecho”, which means enjoy. In Mexico, dining is more than a meal. It’s a social occasion — lunches are
seldom quick and suppers can last for hours. Where you sit matters in the country. You must say “enjoy your meal”
before you leave the table.
DRINKING MANNERS
America: If you empty a bottle into someone’s glass, it obliges that person to buy the next bottle. It’s polite
to put the last drops into your own glass.
Australia: In a pub it’s usual to buy a round of drinks for everyone in your group. When it’s your turn, say
“It’s my round”. When it’s their round, they will buy it for you. Don’t leave before you’ve bought a round.
Japan: Don’t fill your own glass of alcohol. Instead, you should pour for others and wait for them to do it
for you.

Each country has many kinds of people who volunteer to take care of others. For example, some high
school and university students in the United States often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals or old people’
s homes. They read books to the people there, or they just visit them and play games with them or listen to their
problems.
Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick. They do the cleaning or the
shopping. For boys who don’t have fathers there is an organization called Big Brothers. University students and
other people take these boys to baseball games and help them get to know things that boys usually learn from their
fathers.
Each city has a lot of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games or take part in other activities. Some
of these clubs show movies or have short trips to the mountains, the beaches or the museums. Most of these clubs

In 2004, the world came alive to The Chorus, a French film which tells us how a teacher brings love and
hope to his students through music and then makes a difference to their lives.
Now the similar story happened at Haiga Primary School in Liupanshui, Southwest China’s Guizhou
Province, where Gu Ya, a 37-year-old teacher, helps children in mountainous areas learn to read music, play
instruments, and start rock bands.
In September 2016, Gu Ya, a then rock singer, arrived at the school as a Chinese teacher. “When I got there,
there was only a teacher and fewer than ten students in two grades. It was really surprising. The kids were too shy
to look at me in the eyes,” Gu said. “The day I arrived, Zheng Long, the headmaster of the school, told me that we
had to care about not only the children’s studies and lives, but also their health in mind, helping them learn to
dream and be more confident.”
To open the hearts of the students and bring them confidence, Gu decided to teach them music. He taught
students in grades one and two ukulele (尤克里里) and guitar, and students in grades three and four drums or bass
guitar (贝斯吉他). In 2018, the school started its first rock band called Yu (Meeting). Not long after that, the
second band “Unknown Boy”, and the other bands “Naughty Elf” and “Haiga Shaonian” were also set up one
after another.
Zheng Long was surprised at the power of music. Many children who learned to play music became more
outgoing and got better grades in exams. “Music brings them a part of their dream. It was the old guitar that
brought new life to Haiga Primary School.”
Xiong Ting, a 15-year-old girl, was a student there before. “Thanks to Mr. Gu, I was no longer a shy and
quiet girl. I hope I could become a music teacher like him and bring change and hope to others.”
1．Was Gu Ya a music teacher when he got to Haiga Primary School
2．How did Gu feel when he first got to Haiga Primary School
3．Why did Gu decide to teach the students music
4．What changes did the students have because of learning to play music

In shops, restaurants and supermarkets around Beijing, you may notice a special place about 10 square
meters in size. It is a service corner for outdoor workers to rest or to get some necessary things like water,
medicine and battery chargers (充电器).
These spaces are free for all outdoor workers to use. Without them, they have to take a break by the
roadside.
One restaurant near Xiyuan Subway Station provided space for the service corner. “Working in the
restaurant, I can see deliverymen (外卖员) all the time. I know how hard it is for them to make money,” said Li
Hui, the restaurant’s owner. “They sometimes can’t get hot water in winter. Service corners almost solve such
problems. That’s what I want to do for them. I hope the service corner can warm outdoor workers’ hearts.”
Now there are about 27, 000 service corners in Beijing, and it plans to add another 3, 900. Before the
service corners were built, 40-year-old deliveryman Zhang hoped to take a break indoors in order to get warm in
winter or to cool off in summer. But he usually didn’t. “It is comfortable to rest indoors. But I don’t want to
trouble shop owners. So, I would rest on my bike and play with my phone to relax,” he said.
“I have to save money for my family, and sometimes I am so busy. So, I don’t even notice the service
corners. Neither do my co-workers. Maybe it will take a little time for me to get used to them,” Zhang said.
1．Where can people see the service corner for outdoor workers around Beijing
2．Why is the delivery men’s job difficult according to Li Hui
3．How many service corners will there be in Beijing in all
4．What did Zhang do to relax himself in the past
5．Do delivery men always rest themselves in the service corner

The natural world is filled with living things. Living things start out weak and small and slowly grow
strong and big. You are a living thing. Each of your classmates is a living thing. Flowers, grass and trees are living
things, too. Bees, ants, doves, dogs and cats—these are all living things.
All living things need food and water to grow. Think about yourself. When you are hungry, you need to eat.
You eat fruit, vegetables, meat and fish. They can help you grow big and strong. You drink water when you are
thirsty. Now think about a tree. When a tree is hungry, it gets food from the soil. Trees drink water, too.
We are different in some ways, but all living things are connected. We all live on the same planet, and we
depend on each other. If we pollute the rivers and oceans, fish may get sick or even die. Some birds live off fish. If
the birds eat the sick or dead fish, they may die off. Nature is a balance between all the living things on the planet.
If one species (物种) dies off, then another species may die off, followed by another, and another…
We should respect the earth and all the living things on it.

April 22, 2024 marks the 55th World Earth Day. This year’s theme is “Planet vs. Plastics” (全球战塑). So,
I decided to try something different: a whole day without using any plastic. It sounded exciting, but it was quite
hard.
My morning started with a homemade breakfast in a glass bowl. But later when I tried to order juice as
usual, I had to give up because of those plastic cups. I faced a bigger problem at the supermarket. Almost
everything was wrapped (包装) in plastic—from fruits and vegetables to meat. It made me realize that plastic is
everywhere, making it hard to carry on with my no-plastic plan.
Plastic is widely used in our daily life. It can be made into all kinds of things such as bags, bottles and toys.
It’s tough (牢固的) and it’s really light. So we depend heavily on it.
But there’s one thing: Using too much plastic can be harmful to the environment. Humans use about one
million plastic bottles every minute, and more than 5 trillion plastic bags are used each year, according to a United
Nations report. The world produces 200 million tons of plastic waste each year, but only less than 10 percent has
been recycled. Most of them end up in the lakes, rivers and oceans, hurting animals and nature.
To make a difference, China stopped the production, sale and use of plastic shopping bags with a thickness
of less than 0.025 mm in 2008. From 2010 to 2020, China recycled 170 million tons of waste plastic. These have
helped reduce plastic waste.
Let’s join hands and make a clean and beautiful world.
1．What did the writer decide to do to support the World Earth Day
2．According to the passage, why is plastic useful but harmful (No more than 20 words.)
3．What can you do to help reduce plastic waste
