difficult for them to eat and drink. These volunteers worked very hard. But they worried that they could not carry
on with the work because they didn’t have enough money. Then they decided to start a charity so that they could
help these needy children. They called it Operation Smile.
Operation Smile works in more than twenty developing countries and has cured over 10,000 children who
have problems with their mouths. Operation Smile has won many prizes for its work and in 1999 they even started
a special event called “The World Journey of Hope”. 5,000 children in 18 countries are cured during the event.

（22-23 八年级下·江苏南京·期中）Orion Jean is a 10-year-old boy from Fort Worth, Texas. He is making
a difference in the world with his acts of kindness. And these acts may change the lives of people he has helped.
It all began after a student kindness competition last year where he gave encouraging words to share about
taking the first step. “Kindness is a virtue (美德) we can all have, if we are willing to,” he said. “So why not start
today Because right now, it’s what we need more than ever.”
With the $500 prize money he won, Orion donated toys to a local children’s hospital. Next, he helped
prepare 100,000 meals for families in Texas. And now he wants to give books to kids who may not have them and
plans to gather 500,000 books in a “race to kindness”.
Kherri Jean, Orion’s mother, wrote on her Facebook page on March 31 that Orion has already collected
over 120,000 books. “Today was one of my favorite days!” she said. “We had a ‘Race to Kindness’ free book fair
for children and their parents. It was so great to see kids looking for books they like and taking them home!”
And even if he hasn’t met the goal of 500,000 books, Orion has done far more than putting books into the
hands of poor children. “It’s all about my moral responsibility to help people,” Orion said. “You know, it’s my
responsibility to be able to see these people who need help know that I can help them.”

A．It is helpful in his growing up and education.
B．He thinks it a duty for him to help those in need.
C．It is an after-school task for students in his school.

（24-25 八年级上·江苏·期中）“It’s a waste (浪费) of time,” I said when my mom told me to join Madcaps,
a mothers and daughters club that helps the poor. When she told me I had to volunteer (志愿服务) at a homeless
shelter (收容所), I thought that things could not get worse.
We got there late and walked to the dirty homeless shelter, where we saw a lady shouting at a man.
He talked to her and then led us to the kitchen, where we ran into our five fellow (同伴) Madcaps mothers
and daughters.
Then homeless people started to walk in and a little girl, around five years old, walked up and pointed to
the food I was handing out. I handed her a cold sandwich and she smiled to say thanks. She then walked over to
her parents, who sat not far away.
As she walked away, I thought about how much I had. I go to one of the top schools in San Die- go, I have
a great house by the water, and I have a warm meal every night. Then I thought of how little she had. She
probably didn’t go to school, and that is where she sleeps and eats every day. That little girl makes me understand
just how fortunate I am.
After that moment, I had a change of heart. Now, I love Madcaps and don’t miss one meeting.
I have little trouble getting along with others and now I have many friends to play and talk with.
I believe that if you have an open mind about things, you can learn a lot about yourself and the people in
your community. You can make new friends and understand yourself better. I believe you can make a difference
just by doing something that you don’t want to do.
1．Where did the writer and her mother go to volunteer

A．Popular. B．Strange. C．Smart. D．Lucky.

（24-25 八年级上·江苏泰州·阶段练习）A special kitchen is in a path, next to Jiangxi Cancer Hospital, in
Nanchang. Around meal time, three times every day, relatives of the hospital’s patients use the kitchen to cook
food for their loved ones.
The kitchen was originally a breakfast stall (摊) run by a husband and a wife, Wan Zuocheng and Xiong
Gengxiang. One day, in 2023, a young couple asked if they could use the stove (炉子) to cook food for their son
who had bone cancer (骨癌). He wanted to eat his mother’s cooking while he was in hospital. Wan and Xiong let
the young mother use their stove for free. Later on, Wan and Xiong offered their cookers for free, so other families
could cook meals for relatives with illness. As words spread, people who had used their cookers began describing
the breakfast stall as the “anti-cancer kitchen”. Some even called it the “kitchen of love”.
To let more people cook at the same time, Wan and Xiong have turned their breakfast stall into a large
kitchen. People who have used their kitchen really wanted to share the costs. As a result, Wan and Xiong set a
price: One yuan to cook a dish or to buy a box of rice, and three yuan to cook soup. Water or seasoning (调味品)
is free. For people from poor families, the couple refuse to accept their money.
▲ They get up at 4 a.m. every day to prepare. They boil water and cook rice at first. To make it easier for
others to use the kitchen, Wan and Xiong would like to clean the kitchen, like sweeping the ground and washing
the pans and pots.
Wan and Xiong have run the kitchen for 18 years. But they have never regretted their decision. They
always listen to patients’ relatives talking about their experiences. They believe listening to them helps them feel
relaxed. Xiong says, “It is the happiest thing to run the kitchen and help others.”
1．What does the underlined word “originally” most probably mean
A．At least. B．Surely. C．Probably D．At first.
2．How much will it cost to cook two dishes and a cup of soup in the kitchen
A．4 yuan. B．5 yuan. C．6 yuan. D．7 yuan.
3．What can be put in ▲ in the fourth paragraph
A．More and more people from poor families come to cook.
B．Wan and Xiong think working in the kitchen is not easy.
C．Wan and Xiong are busy from early morning.
D．The couple’s children want them to take a break, but they always refuse.
4．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE
A．Wan and Xiong like listening to the stories of others.
B．The kitchen is free to people all the time.
C．The kitchen is in a hospital in Nanchang.
D．Many people help in the kitchen every day.

重难语篇拔高练
（24-25 八年级上·江苏南京·阶段练习）I was born missing my left arm. In 1986, at 18 months, I was
fitted with a prosthetic (义 肢 ) device, a decision made by my parents and doctors so that I would develop
“normally”.
I spent my entire childhood and adolescence trying to fit in. I did just about anything to ease the pains of
the stares and pointing fingers from my classmates. By the time I was 8, I had no self-confidence, and the hand I
was wearing was making it harder for me to fit in. So I decided I was better off without one. I didn’t need anyone
to fix me.
To prove that I wasn’t limited by my disability, I developed a love for all sports, in particular swimming. I
was selected to my first Australian women’s swimming team at age 13 and successfully represented my country
for eight years. I realized I’d made a name for myself because of my disability.
I taught myself how to be comfortable in a society filled with insecurities (不安全). So when I was first
contacted in 2021 by Covvi, a company trying to create the world’s most advanced bionic (仿生的) hand, I was a
bit surprised. They asked me to trial the hand and, if possible, to become a patient advocate (病人权益维护者).
Initially, I said no. Then, curiosity got the better of me.
While I was busy advocating for disability rights, a new generation of leaders, like Amy Purdy and Nick
Vujicic, used the power of technology and social media to display wheelchairs or artificial limbs without
explanation. People feared disability less. Society was beginning to see a person first, and their disability second.
Viewing disability through a social lens also meant acknowledging (承认) that a person is more disabled by
their environment and the discrimination (歧视) of others than by their actual disability. As those conversations
shifted, I realized that there was an opportunity to use technology to change the future generations’ view on
disability. In July 2022, I decided to trial the hand.
The role of patient advocate is a huge honor. Through sharing my journey, I’m able to reach thousands of
other people who would benefit from its extraordinary capabilities (能力). That’s why I wear a bionic hand—not
because I’m broken, but because I have an opportunity to increase the human capabilities that already exist.
1．When was the author fitted with a prosthetic device
A．At 18 months old. B．At 8 years old. C．In her adolescence. D．In 2022.
2．From Purdy and Vujicic, the author learned ______.
A．more people accepted their limits B．the disabled needed a friendlier environment
C．social media allowed the disabled opportunities D．technology changed people’s attitudes to disability
3．What does NOT make it more difficult for the disabled to fit in
A．People’s fear of disability. B．Others’ discrimination of the disabled.
C．Their actual disability. D．The unfriendly environment.
4．Why did the author finally decide to trial the bionic hand in July2022
A．She believed it would fix her disability.B．She wanted to become a patient advocate.
C．She realized the power of technology. D．She wanted to prove her success in swimming.
5．Which of the following words can best describe the author
A．intelligent and brave B．warm-hearted and patient
C．responsible and strong-willed D．independent and innovativeUnit 7 International charities

（24-25 八年级上·江苏·期中）“It’s a waste (浪费) of time,” I said when my mom told me to join Madcaps,
a mothers and daughters club that helps the poor. When she told me I had to volunteer (志愿服务) at a homeless
shelter (收容所), I thought that things could not get worse.
We got there late and walked to the dirty homeless shelter, where we saw a lady shouting at a man.
He talked to her and then led us to the kitchen, where we ran into our five fellow (同伴) Madcaps mothers
and daughters.
Then homeless people started to walk in and a little girl, around five years old, walked up and pointed to
the food I was handing out. I handed her a cold sandwich and she smiled to say thanks. She then walked over to
her parents, who sat not far away.
As she walked away, I thought about how much I had. I go to one of the top schools in San Die- go, I have
a great house by the water, and I have a warm meal every night. Then I thought of how little she had. She
probably didn’t go to school, and that is where she sleeps and eats every day. That little girl makes me understand
just how fortunate I am.
After that moment, I had a change of heart. Now, I love Madcaps and don’t miss one meeting.
I have little trouble getting along with others and now I have many friends to play and talk with.
I believe that if you have an open mind about things, you can learn a lot about yourself and the people in
your community. You can make new friends and understand yourself better. I believe you can make a difference
just by doing something that you don’t want to do.

（24-25 八年级上·江苏泰州·阶段练习）A special kitchen is in a path, next to Jiangxi Cancer Hospital, in
Nanchang. Around meal time, three times every day, relatives of the hospital’s patients use the kitchen to cook
food for their loved ones.
The kitchen was originally a breakfast stall (摊) run by a husband and a wife, Wan Zuocheng and Xiong
Gengxiang. One day, in 2023, a young couple asked if they could use the stove (炉子) to cook food for their son
who had bone cancer (骨癌). He wanted to eat his mother’s cooking while he was in hospital. Wan and Xiong let
the young mother use their stove for free. Later on, Wan and Xiong offered their cookers for free, so other families
could cook meals for relatives with illness. As words spread, people who had used their cookers began describing
the breakfast stall as the “anti-cancer kitchen”. Some even called it the “kitchen of love”.
To let more people cook at the same time, Wan and Xiong have turned their breakfast stall into a large
kitchen. People who have used their kitchen really wanted to share the costs. As a result, Wan and Xiong set a
price: One yuan to cook a dish or to buy a box of rice, and three yuan to cook soup. Water or seasoning (调味品)
is free. For people from poor families, the couple refuse to accept their money.
▲ They get up at 4 a.m. every day to prepare. They boil water and cook rice at first. To make it easier for
others to use the kitchen, Wan and Xiong would like to clean the kitchen, like sweeping the ground and washing
the pans and pots.
Wan and Xiong have run the kitchen for 18 years. But they have never regretted their decision. They
always listen to patients’ relatives talking about their experiences. They believe listening to them helps them feel
relaxed. Xiong says, “It is the happiest thing to run the kitchen and help others.”

重难语篇拔高练
（24-25 八年级上·江苏南京·阶段练习）I was born missing my left arm. In 1986, at 18 months, I was
fitted with a prosthetic (义 肢 ) device, a decision made by my parents and doctors so that I would develop
“normally”.
I spent my entire childhood and adolescence trying to fit in. I did just about anything to ease the pains of
the stares and pointing fingers from my classmates. By the time I was 8, I had no self-confidence, and the hand I
was wearing was making it harder for me to fit in. So I decided I was better off without one. I didn’t need anyone
to fix me.
To prove that I wasn’t limited by my disability, I developed a love for all sports, in particular swimming. I
was selected to my first Australian women’s swimming team at age 13 and successfully represented my country
for eight years. I realized I’d made a name for myself because of my disability.
I taught myself how to be comfortable in a society filled with insecurities (不安全). So when I was first
contacted in 2021 by Covvi, a company trying to create the world’s most advanced bionic (仿生的) hand, I was a
bit surprised. They asked me to trial the hand and, if possible, to become a patient advocate (病人权益维护者).
Initially, I said no. Then, curiosity got the better of me.
While I was busy advocating for disability rights, a new generation of leaders, like Amy Purdy and Nick
Vujicic, used the power of technology and social media to display wheelchairs or artificial limbs without
explanation. People feared disability less. Society was beginning to see a person first, and their disability second.
Viewing disability through a social lens also meant acknowledging (承认) that a person is more disabled by
their environment and the discrimination (歧视) of others than by their actual disability. As those conversations
shifted, I realized that there was an opportunity to use technology to change the future generations’ view on
disability. In July 2022, I decided to trial the hand.
The role of patient advocate is a huge honor. Through sharing my journey, I’m able to reach thousands of
other people who would benefit from its extraordinary capabilities (能力). That’s why I wear a bionic hand—not
because I’m broken, but because I have an opportunity to increase the human capabilities that already exist.
1．When was the author fitted with a prosthetic device
A．At 18 months old. B．At 8 years old. C．In her adolescence. D．In 2022.
2．From Purdy and Vujicic, the author learned ______.
A．more people accepted their limits B．the disabled needed a friendlier environment
C．social media allowed the disabled opportunities D．technology changed people’s attitudes to disability
3．What does NOT make it more difficult for the disabled to fit in
A．People’s fear of disability. B．Others’ discrimination of the disabled.
C．Their actual disability. D．The unfriendly environment.
4．Why did the author finally decide to trial the bionic hand in July2022
A．She believed it would fix her disability.B．She wanted to become a patient advocate.
C．She realized the power of technology. D．She wanted to prove her success in swimming.
5．Which of the following words can best describe the author
A．intelligent and brave B．warm-hearted and patient
C．responsible and strong-willed D．independent and innovative
【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．C 5．C
【导语】本文主要介绍了作者出生就缺少左臂，但是他并不气馁，参加运动证明自己并不受到残疾的限制，
并使用科技帮助其他人。
1．细节理解题。根据“In 1986, at 18 months, I was fitted with a prosthetic (义肢) device”可知 1986 年，18 个
月大的时候，我安装了一个假肢。故选 A。
2．细节理解题。根据“like Amy Purdy and Nick Vujicic, used the power of technology and social media to display
wheelchairs or artificial limbs without explanation. People feared disability less.”可知他们利用技术和社交媒体
的力量，在没有解释的情况下展示轮椅或假肢，人们对残疾的恐惧减少了，所以他们认为科技改变了人们
对残疾的态度。故选 D。
3．推理判断题。根据“People feared disability less. Society was beginning to see a person first, and their disability
second.”以及“Viewing disability through a social lens also meant acknowledging (承认) that a person is more
disabled by their environment and the discrimination (歧视) of others than by their actual disability”可知人们害
怕残疾人，周围的环境和他人的歧视都让残疾人很难融入社会。故选 C。
4．细节理解题。根据“I realized that there was an opportunity to use technology to change the future generations’
view on disability. In July 2022, I decided to trial the hand.”可知随着这些对话的转变，作者意识到有机会利用
技术改变后代对残疾的看法，所以作者决定试用这只手。故选 C。
5．推理判断题。根据“To prove that I wasn’t limited by my disability, I developed a love for all sports, in
particular swimming...”可知作者被选入第一支澳大利亚女子游泳队，并成功代表国家参赛，可推知作者作
为一名残疾人意志力很强；根据“but because I have an opportunity to increase the human capabilities that
already exist.”可知作者也帮助其他残疾人，所以作者是有责任心的。故选 C。
