（24-25 八年级下·河南南阳·期中）The Great Wall is famous all over the world. All year round, people

of this section is called Ladder to Heaven (天梯). It was tiring and difficult to climb, but when we finally got to

（23-24 八年级下·福建漳州·期中）Watching the flag—raising ceremony at Tian’anmen Square, visiting
the 720, 000 square meters Palace Museum, trying out special food like roast duck and even taking a look into the
National Museum of China...
It seems to be a week—long trip plan to explore Beijing, but some people can visit all the tourist spots (景
点) in 48 hours. They are not common travelers (旅游特种兵) .
After being shared online, this kind of busy trip plan went popular and then was called“Special Forces—
style Tourism (特种兵旅游)”. It means visiting as many tourist spots and trying as much food as possible while
spending less time and money.
People have different ideas about this kind of travel. Some people online said it’s too busy to really
experience and enjoy a city. While others, especially the young, feel like joining the special tour. For them, they
usually spend evenings at 24—hour restaurants instead of booking a hotel room. Some also spend nighttime on
the road and daytime in visiting spots.
One of tourist special troops said, “We spend much time checking the spots and routes, reading others’
travel notes and searching for the information online, but we will get a sense of happiness. ”
1．How many tourist spots are mentioned (提及) in Paragraph 1

（23-24 八年级下·陕西西安·期中）Do you like traveling Have you heard of Volunteer Travel Do you
know what Volunteer Travel means
It’s a popular type of traveling which draws volunteers to take part in to help others while traveling. During
the trip, volunteer travelers often provide services like teaching, cooking, animal caring, and cultural activities.
The volunteers may get free or discounted accommodation (住宿), meals, activities, or classes because of their
help.
Is it only popular in recent years Actually, no! However, Volunteer Travel dates back to the 1960s, when
Alec Dickson and his wife Mora from the UK set up Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO), an international
volunteer organization.
In the past, the volunteer activities usually took place in a foreign country. But more volunteer trips have
taken place within the volunteers’ own countries in recent years. Volunteer projects in the countryside are now
attracting (吸引) more visitors living in the cities as a break from the fast and stressful city lives.
There are lots of advantages in Volunteer Travel. By doing voluntary work while traveling, travelers may
make a real, positive influence on the world. The services that volunteers provide can reduce the costs for the
communities they serve. Another advantage of Volunteer Travel is that it helps people living in cities experience
the life in the countryside. For those who are tired of city life but can’t move to the countryside, Volunteer Travel
can be a way. In this way, travelers can relax themselves from their busy lives, while the countryside can get a lot
by receiving more customers for local tourism industries (行业).
1．What kind of services can volunteer travelers provide
A．Holding cultural activities. B．Taking care of babies.
C．Setting up schools. D．Collecting money for the poor.

science newspaper
（23-24 八年级下·陕西西安·阶段练习）Marco Polo (马可波罗), an Italian traveler, is sometimes seen as
the first European businessman to China. His experiences in the 13th century are recorded in his famous book,
“The Travels of Marco Polo”. However, it is wrong to think of him as the first European to come to China. Before
Marco Polo started his journey to the East, several Europeans such as Rabban Bar Sauma and William of Rubruck
had already traveled to China.
However, Marco Polo’s own journey to China was completely amazing. His father, Niccolò Polo, and
uncle, Maffeo Polo, had built a successful trade in the Black Sea. In 1271, at the age of around 17, Marco Polo
started his first journey to the East with his father and uncle. However, the whole trip was not safe and easy. It
took them about four years to finally reach China.
Marco Polo had little knowledge of the Chinese language and culture before the tour. However, with hard
practice, the clever boy soon learned languages such as Chinese and Mongol. Marco Polo spent 17 years or so
traveling throughout China. He was interested in the cities, the use of paper money and advanced (先 进 的 )
technologies like eyeglasses.
In 1295, the Polo family finally made their way back to Italy. Although Marco Polo was not the first
foreign visitor to China, his experiences and writings had an important influence on European knowledge of
China. What’s more, Marco Polo’s writings also encouraged future travelers, such as Christopher Columbus, to
challenge themselves to make a difference in geographic discovery and cultural communication.
1．Who did Marco Polo travel to China with
A．Rabban Bar Sauma and William of Rubruck.
B．His mother and sister.
C．His father and uncle.
D．Christopher Columbus.
2．Which of the following about Marco Polo is TRUE
A．He was the first European to visit China.
B．It took him about 17 years to travel around China.
C．He could speak much Chinese and Mongol before traveling to China.
D．He didn’t like the advanced technologies in China.
3．The underlined word “encouraged” in the last paragraph means ________.
A．鼓励 B．代表 C．威胁 D．讲述
4．What is the best title of this passage
A．Marco Polo and his family.
B．A successful Chinese businessman.
C．Marco Polo and his travel experiences.
D．Marco Polo and his famous book.

（23-24 八年级下·山东·期中）Thanks to its proximity (邻近) to England, its successful tourism industry
and its multicultural population, Edinburgh is quite a special city in Scotland.
Edinburgh simply makes it with culture during its long holiday season. It is not just its famous festivals in
the summer but its Christmas and Hogmanay (除夕) celebrations that fill the city with tourists from all over the
world. Along with the tourists, Edinburgh has lots of students. They bring energy and variety to the culture of the
city. Although this can be overwhelming (令人不知所措) at times, if you open your arms to the good that it
brings you can get so much out of the city.
The Cycling Gardeners are a part of the local community. By being totally dependent on bikes for transport,
we are limited to working within the city centre. We have made life a bit easier on ourselves by using electric
bikes, and we often beat cars in traffic and have no problem finding place to park.
We have a great collective team spirit which is very important. Whenever you go there from May to
September, you will likely meet both sunshine and rain. But the wet weather can be dealt with by helping each
other out, spending time in the many local cafés, catching up with your friends and having a good discussion
about the rain!
Without doubt my favourite place in Edinburgh is the Meadows Park. I was born in the hospital
overlooking it and grew up in buildings around it. Much of my childhood was spent there. I met my wife there and
it is where I take my young son to play. I have the happiest memories of building snowmen when the snow comes
down. I really hope that this winter brings good snow so I can review my own childhood with my son!
1．What attracts visitors to Edinburgh most
A．Its successful industry. B．Its famous festivals.
C．Its rainy seasons. D．Its beautiful view.
2．Compared with driving cars, what’s the advantages of riding electric bikes for Cycling Gardeners
A．Speed. B．Comfort. C．Convenience. D．Expense.
3．What does the underlined phrase “catching up” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Getting up. B．Meeting up. C．Showing up. D．Picking up.
4．Why is the Meadows Park the author’s favorite place in Edinburgh
A．He has good memories there. B．He was born there.
C．He played with his young son there. D．He met his wife there.Module 8 Time off

（23-24 八年级下·陕西西安·期中）Do you like traveling Have you heard of Volunteer Travel Do you
know what Volunteer Travel means
It’s a popular type of traveling which draws volunteers to take part in to help others while traveling. During
the trip, volunteer travelers often provide services like teaching, cooking, animal caring, and cultural activities.
The volunteers may get free or discounted accommodation (住宿), meals, activities, or classes because of their
help.
Is it only popular in recent years Actually, no! However, Volunteer Travel dates back to the 1960s, when
Alec Dickson and his wife Mora from the UK set up Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO), an international
volunteer organization.
In the past, the volunteer activities usually took place in a foreign country. But more volunteer trips have
taken place within the volunteers’ own countries in recent years. Volunteer projects in the countryside are now
attracting (吸引) more visitors living in the cities as a break from the fast and stressful city lives.
There are lots of advantages in Volunteer Travel. By doing voluntary work while traveling, travelers may
make a real, positive influence on the world. The services that volunteers provide can reduce the costs for the
communities they serve. Another advantage of Volunteer Travel is that it helps people living in cities experience
the life in the countryside. For those who are tired of city life but can’t move to the countryside, Volunteer Travel
can be a way. In this way, travelers can relax themselves from their busy lives, while the countryside can get a lot
by receiving more customers for local tourism industries (行业).

（23-24 八年级下·陕西西安·阶段练习）Marco Polo (马可波罗), an Italian traveler, is sometimes seen as
the first European businessman to China. His experiences in the 13th century are recorded in his famous book,
“The Travels of Marco Polo”. However, it is wrong to think of him as the first European to come to China. Before
Marco Polo started his journey to the East, several Europeans such as Rabban Bar Sauma and William of Rubruck
had already traveled to China.
However, Marco Polo’s own journey to China was completely amazing. His father, Niccolò Polo, and
uncle, Maffeo Polo, had built a successful trade in the Black Sea. In 1271, at the age of around 17, Marco Polo
started his first journey to the East with his father and uncle. However, the whole trip was not safe and easy. It
took them about four years to finally reach China.
Marco Polo had little knowledge of the Chinese language and culture before the tour. However, with hard
practice, the clever boy soon learned languages such as Chinese and Mongol. Marco Polo spent 17 years or so
traveling throughout China. He was interested in the cities, the use of paper money and advanced (先 进 的 )
technologies like eyeglasses.
In 1295, the Polo family finally made their way back to Italy. Although Marco Polo was not the first
foreign visitor to China, his experiences and writings had an important influence on European knowledge of
China. What’s more, Marco Polo’s writings also encouraged future travelers, such as Christopher Columbus, to
challenge themselves to make a difference in geographic discovery and cultural communication.
1．Who did Marco Polo travel to China with
A．Rabban Bar Sauma and William of Rubruck.
B．His mother and sister.
C．His father and uncle.
D．Christopher Columbus.

A．He was the first European to visit China.
B．It took him about 17 years to travel around China.
C．He could speak much Chinese and Mongol before traveling to China.
D．He didn’t like the advanced technologies in China.
3．The underlined word “encouraged” in the last paragraph means ________.
A．鼓励 B．代表 C．威胁 D．讲述
4．What is the best title of this passage
A．Marco Polo and his family.
B．A successful Chinese businessman.
C．Marco Polo and his travel experiences.
D．Marco Polo and his famous book.

（23-24 八年级下·山东·期中）Thanks to its proximity (邻近) to England, its successful tourism industry
and its multicultural population, Edinburgh is quite a special city in Scotland.
Edinburgh simply makes it with culture during its long holiday season. It is not just its famous festivals in
the summer but its Christmas and Hogmanay (除夕) celebrations that fill the city with tourists from all over the
world. Along with the tourists, Edinburgh has lots of students. They bring energy and variety to the culture of the
city. Although this can be overwhelming (令人不知所措) at times, if you open your arms to the good that it
brings you can get so much out of the city.
The Cycling Gardeners are a part of the local community. By being totally dependent on bikes for transport,
we are limited to working within the city centre. We have made life a bit easier on ourselves by using electric
bikes, and we often beat cars in traffic and have no problem finding place to park.
We have a great collective team spirit which is very important. Whenever you go there from May to
September, you will likely meet both sunshine and rain. But the wet weather can be dealt with by helping each
other out, spending time in the many local cafés, catching up with your friends and having a good discussion
about the rain!
Without doubt my favourite place in Edinburgh is the Meadows Park. I was born in the hospital
overlooking it and grew up in buildings around it. Much of my childhood was spent there. I met my wife there and
it is where I take my young son to play. I have the happiest memories of building snowmen when the snow comes
down. I really hope that this winter brings good snow so I can review my own childhood with my son!
1．What attracts visitors to Edinburgh most
A．Its successful industry. B．Its famous festivals.
C．Its rainy seasons. D．Its beautiful view.
2．Compared with driving cars, what’s the advantages of riding electric bikes for Cycling Gardeners
A．Speed. B．Comfort. C．Convenience. D．Expense.
3．What does the underlined phrase “catching up” in paragraph 4 mean
