（23-24八年级下·江苏淮安·期末）根据短文内容，回答问题 (每题答案不超过8个词)。
“Dream of Winter, Love among Asia”, a short track speed (短道速滑) skater and two tigers... The slogan (口号), the emblem (会徽) and mascots (吉祥物) for the 9th Asian Winter Games finally came out. Good news! The games will be held in Harbin, Heilongjiang in 2025.
The emblem looks like the Chinese character “九”. That means the 9th Asian Winter Games. It also looks like the Chinese character “合”. It describes Chinese people’s wish to get together with friends from other Asian countries. It also shows the beauty of Chinese characters to the world.
In the emblem, the short track speed skater represents the sports spirit of the players across Asia. The lilac, the flower of Harbin, symbolizes (象征) Harbin’s city culture of warm heartedness (热心). And the red sun represents the wish of Asian countries to go after progress and peace. The emblem allows people to easily see the time and place of the sports event.
The idea of the two mascots, Binbin and Nini, came from two lovely Siberian (西伯利亚的) tiger cubs (幼兽) born in Harbin in September 2023. The word “bin” is part of the name of the city. Harbin, and “ni” shares the same pronunciation as “you” in Chinese. The two names show the meaning of the words “Harbin welcomes you”.
Besides, Binbin is a mascot representing ice sports. It is skating happily, wearing winter sportswear and ice skates. Nini on a snowboard represents snow sports. It wears a traditional Chinese red jacket. They are so cute, aren’t they
1．What is the slogan for the 9th Asian Winter Games
2．When will the 9th Asian Winter Games take place
3．What does the short track speed skater in the emblem represent
4．Is the emblem meaningful for the Asian Winter Games

You don’t know me unless you read a book called The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Huck’s my name, Huckleberry Finn. That book ends like this: my best friend, Tom Sawyer, and I found 12,000 in gold in a cave. We became rich. We got $6,000 each.
My mother died long ago and then my dad, Pap, disappeared. He was always drunk and he often beat me. Then a kind old lady called Widow Douglas took me into her home to live. She gave me a bed to sleep in and bought new clothes for me. She read stories to me and taught me how to eat at a table. She sent me to school every day.
I hated those new clothes. I missed my old life. I put on my old clothes and ran away and was free and happy, but Tom Sawyer found me and said that if I wanted to join his club, I would have to return to live with the widow. For this reason, I returned to live with her.
The months passed and winter came. The weather got cold. One morning I woke up and there was snow on the ground. On my way to school I saw some footprints outside the widow’s house. My heart jumped. Pap!
“He’s heard about my money,” I thought. “And he wants it!”
When I lit my candle and went up to my room that night, there sat Pap—his own self I expected to be scared of him now, but I wasn’t. I stood looking at him; he set there—looking at me.
Pap was nearly fifty years old. His black hair was long and uncombed and dirty. He had allowed hair to grow on his face, which was ghostly white. Just looking at the ugly white skin made me feel sick. His clothes —dirty and torn. His feet showed through large holes in his shoes. His hat was on the floor—an old black hat with a large hole in it.
—Taken from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
6．Who is telling the story
7．How did Tom and Huck become rich
8．Why did Widow Douglas take Huck in to live with her
9．Why did Huck return to live with Widow Douglas
10．What is Huck’s father like in your eyes Why do you think so

The first interesting part was taking a chairlift (吊椅) up to the wall. Of course, you can also take the cable car (缆车). It makes it easier for children and old people to climb the wall. The next interesting part was walking along the wall. When you’re on the wall, you’ll be surprised at the beautiful sights. But the most interesting part of the trip was the ride. You can take a slide (滑梯) down from the wall. It takes about two or three minutes to slide all the way down. That’s why more and more people like to visit Mutianyu Great Wall.
The secret of an enjoyable visit is to visit the wall early. Most people visit the wall on a day trip by coach (长途汽车) from the city of Beijing. If you arrive before the first coaches, you may be able to enjoy the sights of the wall by yourself. It’s really wonderful. Anyway, you can’t miss Mutianyu Great Wall when you stay in Beijing.

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.
One day, Tom noticed an older slave Martha was in pain and slow. Her sack was almost empty. Tom went 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.”
Just then Sambo arrived, kicked Martha and whipped Tom across his face. Martha fell down. “Work faster, 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.
Legree wanted to teach Tom a lesson when he heard Tom kept putting cotton into Martha’s sack. . .

（23-24八年级下·江苏扬州·期末）How many times have your parents told you that you must eat your green vegetables We all know that green vegetables are healthy, but what about other foods of different colors You don’t need to like all food, but it is good to have different colors in your diet, for example, red food such as strawberries and tomatoes, yellow food such as bananas and pears, and orange food such as carrots and oranges. But what about the blue food
A few years ago, a food company added the color blue to its bags of sweets. Children like the color blue, so were the blue sweets popular The food company was surprised to find that they were very unpopular. Children still liked the sweets that have the usual colors of red, green, brown, yellow and orange better.
How many blue meats or vegetables do you know None There are few natural blue foods—it isn’t a common natural food color. Some scientists say that as a result, our brain doesn’t treat blue food as something healthy. This is why we don’t usually use blue food coloring for drinks, cakes and other food.
Some people say we eat with our eyes. The idea is that we need to like the looks of the food before we try it. I wanted to test this idea and so I asked some friends to have a very unusual lunch. My husband and I made some eggs on toast and put blue coloring in them. The result is that nobody ate them. My guests refused to put the blue eggs in their mouths!
So will we ever see blue food on our plates The answer seems to be “no”, at least in countries like the UK and the USA．

Nowadays, job interviews are playing an important part in deciding whether a person can get a job finally. But job interviews aren’t the same all over the world. An interviewer’s “body language” and questions, and the forms of an interview can be very different from country to country.
If you’re at a job interview in Japan, don’t look directly into the eyes of the interviewer. It is considered impolite and make the interviewer unhappy. But if you’re at an interview in the US, you should make eye contact (交流) with the interviewer. If you don’t, the interviewer may think you are not sure about your ability and move your name away from the final list.
In Canada, interviewers usually don’t ask questions about personal information like family members and their jobs. In China, however, personal questions are often asked during job interviews.
In Germany, your interview might begin with a very short conversation followed by a formal (正式的) interview. The interviewee should pay special attention to the clothes he wears that day. But in Mexico, the whole interview might not be formal, which makes the interviewee think he is talking with an old friend.

28．Which country often asks personal questions during job interviews

“Even the hardest life must be lived brightly!” This is one of the famous lines from the hit TV show To the Wonder (《我的阿勒泰》). In the show, herdsmen (牧民) in Altay, Xinjiang, move to new grasslands.
Herdsmen move as the seasons change. In spring around April, herdsmen take their livestock (牲畜) halfway up the mountain. In summer, livestock will be moved to the top of the mountain for greener grass. In autumn, they come down from the mountain to spend the winter.
Wulijiang Qialihaer, 13, has seen her grandparents and dad go through this cycle every year. “Before they leave, they usually take everything they need to the top of the mountain, including food and clothing.” Qialihaer said. “We have more than 200 heads of livestock. ”
When her dad was a boy, her grandparents usually picked one or two children of theirs to go with them. The rest stayed at home for school. However, now for Qialihaer, she only goes to the mountaintop when it’s summer vacation. “I enjoy the beautiful views along the way, the sky, the grass and the clouds,” Qialihaer said.
For Aybol, 14, his family has a faster way to move: riding a truck. “I wake up at six in the morning. Dad puts the cows and sheep on the trucks. Mom packs my favorite milk food and dried meat,” Aybol said. “We won’t forget to take our yurt (毡房) with us.”
Although there are no cartoons or video games in the mountains, Aybol doesn’t feel bored at all. “My friends also come with their families as our yurts are close together. We usually ride horses and look for squirrels in the trees.” Aybol said.

Over two weeks have passed, but that moment is still fresh in my mind. It was around 8 a. m., on the first of May. Many people were waving goodbye to me as I slowly left my home. Yes, it was finally time for my first sea trials (海试)!
I’m China’s newest aircraft carrier (航空母舰), Type 003. People also call me the Fujian. It took six years to build me, and the construction was completed on June 17, 2022, in Shanghai. I have two elder brothers, Type 001, the Liaoning, and Type 002, the Shandong.
As you may have noticed, I’ve followed the family tradition of being named after a province. But I’m quite different from my brothers. To begin with, I was 100% designed and built by Chinese hands. This is a first for my country. I’m also much bigger than the Liaoning and the Shandong. My flight deck (飞行甲板) is much larger. And just guess how heavy I am! When I’m fully loaded (装载), I weigh around 100,000 tonnes! Moreover, I have been given a lot of cool technologies. My brothers use the “ski-jump” method for launching aircraft. That means you can find a ramp (坡道) at the end of their short runways. I work differently. I have three Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch Systems (飞机电磁弹射系统). They allow planes to take off at higher speeds. I can also launch larger and heavier aircraft than my brothers.
During my eight days at sea, experts ran many different tests on me. They wanted to see if I could work well. Those tests will help me serve the PLA Navy (中国人民解放军海军) better, and I’m happy to report that I did a good job.
Have you ever thought about joining the PLA Navy Maybe one day, I’ll see you working on me!
46．Why did Type 003 leave its home for on 1 May

48．What’s the use of the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch Systems

Hussain made a sign to tell customers the rule. And he has yet to ask someone to pay 5 for the drink. “If one doesn’t use his manners, I’ll point to the sign, and he’ll quickly ask again more politely. ”said Hussain.
“A lot of people can be quite rude in the morning while they’re waking up. But the sign makes them think when they see it. And at the end of the day, you never know what someone is going through to make them act rudely. This sign may help them drop their guard (戒备).” Hussain added.

（23-24八年级下·江苏南通·期末）请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。
Liu Lingli was born in Hengyang, Hunan province, in 1973. Her first interaction with people with disability was with one of her neighbours, surnamed Wang. Liu was a child then.
One day in the winter, when Liu was playing in her house, Wang used sign language to communicate with her. But Liu couldn’t understand what she was trying to say. It was Wang’s husband who told Liu that she wanted to make her a scarf.
“Even as a child, I was moved by her kind gesture, and thought it would be great if she could speak,” Liu said. The incident left an unforgettable mark on Liu. At the age of 14, she decided to major in teaching hearing-impaired (听力受损的) students, and later enrolled in Nanjing Normal University of Special Education. After four years, she graduated with a secondary vocational (职业的) degree and became a teacher at Hengyang Normal School of Special Education, and taught Chinese language to first graders.
Although she was young at the time, she treated the students as her children, and practiced sign language in front of the mirror for one to two hours every day till she mastered it. With great care and patience, she also taught the students how to wash their face and clothes, and cut their nails, gradually becoming the “mother” of the students.
In 2005, at the age of 32, Liu gave birth to her own child. But the child, a boy, was diagnosed with congenital (先天性的) hearing impairment when he was seven months old. Concerned that she would need time to overcome the shock, Liu’s colleagues requested her to take a break from teaching and take her son to Changsha, capital of Hunan province, for treatment. But she refused to do so, partly because such treatments are a long-term process.
Instead, she began teaching a new class, because she didn’t want to leave the students alone, and decided to provide therapy for the child herself after work. Thanks to Liu’s tireless efforts, her son could make some sound after several months of training, and her students showed great improvement.
“Whenever they managed to say ‘mom’ or ‘dad’ for the first time, I felt it was the sweetest sound in the world,” Liu Lingli said.
56．What did Wang want to say to Liu in sign language one day in the winter
57．When did Liu become a teacher at Hengyang Normal School of Special Education
58．How did Liu improve her sign language before she mastered it
59．Why did Liu decide to provide therapy for her own child herself

Passage13
（23-24八年级下·江苏苏州·期末）阅读下面的短文，用英语回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。
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.
61．What did the writer decide to do to support the World Earth Day
62．According to the passage, why is plastic useful but harmful (No more than 20 words.)
63．What can you do to help reduce plastic waste

Passage15
（23-24八年级下·江苏徐州·期末）Many years ago, I bought a house in Sunshine Town, and we still go there every summer. The first time we stayed there, our neighbour Mary came and brought us a box with some tomatoes and a bottle of wine (葡萄酒) in it. It was nice of her to do it. But when we looked at the tomatoes, we were worried because they looked terrible: not at all like the nice, round, shiny things you get in a supermarket. And the wine was cloudy, in a funny old bottle with no label (标签) on it. These couldn’t be any good, we thought. But we were thankful for her kindness, so we tried them.
What a wonderful taste! Those tomatoes made me think of the ones my uncle grew when I was a child. Nowadays supermarket tomatoes look perfect but they have a taste of water. Nobody’s going to have a happy memory of those. Mary’s wine may be cloudy and come out of an old bottle, but it was perfect.
It’s good to eat things at the correct time, when they’re in season, and as close as possible to where they were grown. What Mary gives us is the taste of Sunshine Town.

In China, when inviting guests for a meal, it’s polite to wait for the elderly to start eating first. We also use chopsticks gently and try not to make loud noises.
In France, dinner is a special time. People often say “Bon appetite!” to show their wishes for a good meal. Usually, French people taste each dish and enjoy the flavors (味道). And it may take hours for French people to finish a dinner.
In Japan, dining is a quiet and respectful thing. If a conversation is needed, it’s important for people to speak in a low voice. People sit upright and use chopsticks and bowls carefully. It’s polite to say “Itadakimasu” before they start to eat, which means “I humbly receive”.
In the US, people usually eat simple food such as a sandwich instead of spending a lot of time preparing a big meal. However, it’s still important to be careful with manners and never to eat with your mouth open or elbows (肘) on the table.
In a word, different countries have their dining manners. Understanding them can help us enjoy a nice dining experience abroad.

China’s Bei Dou Satellite Navigation System (BDS) (卫星导航系统) is thought as the world level. This makes it one of four global (全球的) satellite navigation systems, together with the United States’ GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo.
China started to develop the BDS in 1994. The system came into use in 2000. After 12 years of work, it began working for the Asia-Pacific part. In 2020, with the global use of BDS-3, China has improved the system to provide users with more correct positioning (定位) services, making it an important tool for more industries (行业), including transportation, agriculture, and surveying.
Now, with 59 satellites in its network, the BDS has served more than 1.5 billion users across the world. Most mobile apps providing maps, navigation and shopping services in China already support the BDS. China’s satellite navigation industry is growing fast. Its value (价值) reached more than 500 billion yuan in 2022. That number may double by 2025. In the first half year of 2023, there were about 13.4 million new BDS devices (设备). Nearly 60% were used in transport systems. The rest were used in communication and agriculture.
As BDS gets more popular, it is expected to play an important role in global navigation and positioning services.

Passage20
（22-23八年级下·江苏连云港·期末）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题，每题答案不超过5个单词。
—Cats!
—Dogs!
These can be fighting words, depending on (取决于) who you’re talking to.
Clearly, there are dog people and there are cat people. Dog people prefer dogs and think they are “man’s best friend”, while cat people like cats because they are elegant (优雅) and independent (独立). Sometimes the two groups even argue with each other, trying to prove that their side is the best.
Dogs seem to be winning the battle. An Associated Press poll (民意调查) in 2018 showed that people in the US like dogs more than cats. As much as 74 percent said they liked dogs “a lot” but only 41 percent said the same thing about cats. The 2018 White Paper on China’s Pet Industry also showed that there are around 11 million more dog owners than cat owners in Chinese cities.
However, cats seem to get more attention online. There are even some new slang terms to refer to them. Cats are described as “masters” (喵主子) online, while the dog owners are “servants who clean their masters’ feces” (“铲屎官”). Even those who don’t have pet cats are doing something called “cloud cat petting” (“云吸猫”), which means viewing videos of cats online.
An article in The Guardian pointed out that dog owners usually go outside to play with their pets or their neighbors’ dogs. But since cats are mainly indoor animals, the internet has become a virtual (虚拟的) “cat park” for cat owners.
But it doesn’t really matter if you prefer cats or dogs. Petting an animal itself makes us feel good.
90．What are cats like in cat people’s eyes
91．Which seems to get more attention online, cats or dogs
92．How do people do cloud cat petting
93．According to The Guardian, what kind of animals are cats
What is the writer’s attitude (态度) toward petting an animal
