（2025八上·北京开学考）The Blazers and the Engineers had played two close games this season. Each team won one game. Now, the final game was for the championship.
There were only seven seconds left in the game. Mason's team, the Blazers, was winning 31-29.
Mason was guarding Edwin, the best player on the Engineers team. The crowd shouted: "4...3.…2…"
Edwin stopped, jumped, and shot the ball before the buzzer (终场哨) sounded. The ball went in!
The score was now 31-31.
"We will play overtime," said Mason's teammate Joel. Mason felt bad because he failed to stop Edwin. Edwin smiled at him, making Mason feel even worse.
In overtime, both teams were nervous and made mistakes. Edwin scored twice. Now the Engineers were ahead by 4 points. But then Joel made a great three-point shot with 28 seconds left!
Then Mason had his big moment. With 11 seconds left, he guessed where Edwin would move.
He stole an important pass.
Mason ran fast toward the basket, but two defenders (防守球员) came to stop him. He thought about taking the final shot himself—a chance to be a hero. But then he saw Joel, who was standing alone near the basket.
Mason passed the ball to Joel.
Joel caught the ball,turned,and scored just as the buzzer sounded.
The Blazers won!
Mason and Joel gave each other a high-five."Great pass!" Joel said.
From that day, Mason learned something important:real winning is more than just the score.
24．Mason felt ________ because he failed to stop Edwin.
A．excited B．unhappy C．relaxed D．lonely
25．Before taking the final shot, Mason decided to pass the ball to Joel because ________.
A．the coach told him to pass B．Joel asked for the ball loudly
C．Mason was too tired to shoot D．no defenders were around Joel
26．What lesson did Mason learn at last

B．Scoring points is the most important part of basketball.
C．Winning is only about getting the highest final score.
D．Losing a game helps a team become much stronger.
（2025八上·北京开学考）Life has its ups and downs and people sometimes feel anxious (焦虑的). If the feelings of anxiety become too strong, they can make you unwell. Usually, we might see a doctor or take some medicine to feel better. But it would be helpful to have something to use at home that does not involve (涉及) medicine. So, we made a robotic cushion (抱枕) to help manage anxiety.
Our team was made up of scientists from several fields. We built a few different robotic cushions, and each one offered a different calming experience, like the feeling of breathing, a heartbeat, and one of them even had colourful lights inside. We asked people to try them out and tell us which they liked the best. Most people liked the cushion that felt like it was breathing. So, we decided to work more on that one.
For our final cushion, we made it bigger so it was easier to hug. We made a robotic part that could push air in and out of a balloon inside the cushion, to control the "breathing". We did this because slow breathing helps people feel calmer.
Now, we wanted to see if our cushion really could help with anxiety, so we did a test. The test had to do three things: make people feel anxious, check their anxiety levels, and compare the effect of the cushion to something else.
We made people feel anxious by having them do some difficult math problems in front of others. Afterwards, we asked them to score their anxiety levels from one to ten. To see how well the cushion worked, we put people into three groups. Group A used the breathing cushion, Group B tried meditating (冥想), and Group C just sat quietly without anything to help with their anxiety. After 10 minutes, we asked them to score their anxiety levels again.
We found that people who hugged the breathing cushion had much less anxiety than those who just sat quietly. And we saw that meditation also helped people reduce their anxiety.
Meditation can be difficult because it needs attention and practice, but hugging a cushion is easy! And, you could hug the cushion while doing other things. By doing more research like this, we can find ways to help people who need different ways to feel better. What do you think Would you like to have a breathing cushion to hug when you're worried
27．What is the final cushion like
A．It uses air to make the sound of a heartbeat.
B．It has a robotic part to make it "breathe".
C．It comes in all shapes and sizes.
D．It has colourful lights inside.
28．What do we know about the test from Paragraphs 5 and 6
A．People in different groups liked different kinds of cushions.
B．The researchers had people use the cushion during a meditation.
C．The result showed the cushion helped people solve math problems.
D．The test compared the effects of hugging the cushion and sitting quietly.
29．What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage
A．To show how to use a robotic cushion.
B．To introduce a product that helps with anxiety.
C．To warn people about the dangers of being worried.
D．To compare ways of helping people feel less anxious.
（2025八上·北京开学考）Have you ever had the following experiences You are trying to focus on your homework while chatting with your friend online at the same time; or maybe you are attending a lecture while also reading a book that you have brought along…If the answer is YES, well, you are "multitasking".
Multitasking means dealing with more than one task at the same time or switching (转换) between tasks quickly. While it seems like an efficient (效率高的) way to get more things done in less time, studies suggest our brains might not be as good at multitasking as we think.
Firstly, multitasking can make us less focused and lower the quality (质量) of our work. When multitasking, our attention gets split (分开，分散). This means we might make more mistakes and not do our jobs very well. For example, studying while chatting online can make it harder to understand or remember what you're learning; meanwhile, you probably won't be able to fully enjoy that pleasant conversation either.
Besides, we tend to work less efficiently when multitasking. Studies have shown that it takes our brains more time to switch between tasks, which contradicts the belief that multitasking saves time. Experts call it "task switch costs". We meet "task switch costs" because of the increased mental demand (脑力需求) as our mind jumps from one thing to another.
Lastly, multitasking may hurt people's health, both physically and mentally. For teenagers, their brains are busy forming important neural (神经的) connections. Splitting attention too often might have a serious, long-term, negative influence on how these connections form. Moreover, it could lead to anxiety and a feeling of being constantly behind.
However, does it mean we should never ever try multitasking The good news is, some forms of multitasking are easier to realize than others, and here are some suggestions on how to choose the right tasks for multitasking:
Try pairing up complex (difficult thus needs full attention and effort) and automatic (done witho7ut thinking) tasks: For example, you can think about a to-do list (complex) while jogging outdoors (automatic), for the latter doesn't need much mental power.
It's also a good idea to rank (分等级) tasks based on levels of importance first. Don't choose very important ones to multitask; instead, try those that don't need so much attention. Save your focused attention for tasks that matter most.
Knowing your limits (极限) is also necessary. People are different, so you should know your own mental and physical limits when multitasking. If you find the quality of your work drops or feel too nervous, you probably should stop multitasking.
30．Which of the following is NOT an example of multitasking
A．Preparing a meal while watching an interesting talk show online.
B．Attending a meeting while doing online shopping with your phone.
C．Reading a book while thinking about what the passage tries to say.
D．Driving on the road while listening to soft music on the radio.
31．According to the passage, if you "contradict" something, it means ________.
A．you finally find the truth about something after careful research
B．you hold the opposite opinion or believe something is wrong
C．you have to accept something although you are unwilling to
D．you personally dislike something because you are not interested
32．According to the passage, the writer probably agrees that ________.
A．multitasking helps the brain form important neural connections
B．doing difficult and easy tasks at the same time always works well
C．important tasks need more attention and should be done first
D．it's important for people to know when to stop multitasking
33．What is the main idea of the passage
A．The misunderstanding about multitasking and the reasons why.
B．The meaning of multitasking and how different people should do it.
C．The importance of multitasking and how to choose the right tasks.
D．The possible disadvantages of multitasking and the right ways to do it.
（2025八上·北京开学考）Summer camps started in the US. They are programs for students during the summer months in some countries. Students taking part in summer camps are known as campers. The traditional summer camp usually means sports, game-playing and campfires. Now modern summer camps can offer campers a great many activities. Among them, the international summer camp is quite popular, especially with Chinese campers.
First of all, the international summer camp can bring campers unusual life experience. As we all know, the experience in high school plays a very important role in life. The international summer camp is a great way to get the right values for life. Campers will experience the cultural difference— something they can't get at home from their families. During the international summer camp, students will become more independent and see new things. They can also learn more through talking with students from all over the world.
Making friends is another point. The international summer camp mixes Chinese students with students from other countries in the world. No matter whether they live with a local family or live with other students in dormitories (宿舍), they will all share experiences and cultures with persons from different countries and cultural backgrounds, learn cross-culture communication skills by listening to others and expressing themselves, and improve friendship over several weeks. They often stay in touch with each other by email after the program finishes.
The most exciting thing in the international summer camp is that Chinese campers can get excellent chances to speak and use English in a real English world. Language is not only knowledge; it is a skill which needs to be improved by using it.
34．Where did summer camps start
35．What can children get from the summer camp but not from their families
36．How do the campers often stay in touch after the program finishes
37．What kind of summer camp you would like to take and why Please list at least two reasons.

【点评】考查阅读理解。细节理解题需定位文中具体信息验证选项，解题时需注意区分选项与原文内容是否一致，避免被无关信息干扰，同时结合故事发展脉络梳理关键情节。
30．推理判断题。根据第二段"Multitasking means dealing with more than one task at the same time or switching between tasks quickly."可知，多任务处理是指同时处理多个任务或在任务之间快速切换，所以"一边看书，一边思考文章要说什么。"属于同一种任务。故选C。
31．词义猜测题。根据第二段"While it seems like an efficient way to get more things done in less time," 可知，多任务处理似乎是能在更短的时间内完成更多事情；结合第四段"Studies have shown that it takes our brains more time to switch between tasks," 可知，大脑在任务之间切换需要更多的时间；这二种观点是相反的，所以此处指"持有相反的观点或认为有什么不对劲"。故选B。
32．推理判断题。根据最后一段"…If you find the quality of your work drops or feel too nervous, you probably should stop multitasking."可知， 如果发现工作质量下降或感到过于紧张，可能应该停止多任务处理，所以作者可能赞同让人们知道何时停止多任务处理很重要。故选D。
33．主旨大意题。本文阐述多任务处理的概念及可能出现的缺点和多任务处理的正确的方法，故选D。

There were only seven seconds left in the game. Mason's team, the Blazers, was winning 31-29.
Mason was guarding Edwin, the best player on the Engineers team. The crowd shouted: "4...3.…2…"
Edwin stopped, jumped, and shot the ball before the buzzer (终场哨) sounded. The ball went in!

"We will play overtime," said Mason's teammate Joel. Mason felt bad because he failed to stop Edwin. Edwin smiled at him, making Mason feel even worse.
In overtime, both teams were nervous and made mistakes. Edwin scored twice. Now the Engineers were ahead by 4 points. But then Joel made a great three-point shot with 28 seconds left!
Then Mason had his big moment. With 11 seconds left, he guessed where Edwin would move.
He stole an important pass.
Mason ran fast toward the basket, but two defenders (防守球员) came to stop him. He thought about taking the final shot himself—a chance to be a hero. But then he saw Joel, who was standing alone near the basket.

（2025八上·北京开学考）Life has its ups and downs and people sometimes feel anxious (焦虑的). If the feelings of anxiety become too strong, they can make you unwell. Usually, we might see a doctor or take some medicine to feel better. But it would be helpful to have something to use at home that does not involve (涉及) medicine. So, we made a robotic cushion (抱枕) to help manage anxiety.
Our team was made up of scientists from several fields. We built a few different robotic cushions, and each one offered a different calming experience, like the feeling of breathing, a heartbeat, and one of them even had colourful lights inside. We asked people to try them out and tell us which they liked the best. Most people liked the cushion that felt like it was breathing. So, we decided to work more on that one.
For our final cushion, we made it bigger so it was easier to hug. We made a robotic part that could push air in and out of a balloon inside the cushion, to control the "breathing". We did this because slow breathing helps people feel calmer.
Now, we wanted to see if our cushion really could help with anxiety, so we did a test. The test had to do three things: make people feel anxious, check their anxiety levels, and compare the effect of the cushion to something else.
We made people feel anxious by having them do some difficult math problems in front of others. Afterwards, we asked them to score their anxiety levels from one to ten. To see how well the cushion worked, we put people into three groups. Group A used the breathing cushion, Group B tried meditating (冥想), and Group C just sat quietly without anything to help with their anxiety. After 10 minutes, we asked them to score their anxiety levels again.
We found that people who hugged the breathing cushion had much less anxiety than those who just sat quietly. And we saw that meditation also helped people reduce their anxiety.
Meditation can be difficult because it needs attention and practice, but hugging a cushion is easy! And, you could hug the cushion while doing other things. By doing more research like this, we can find ways to help people who need different ways to feel better. What do you think Would you like to have a breathing cushion to hug when you're worried
27．What is the final cushion like
A．It uses air to make the sound of a heartbeat.
B．It has a robotic part to make it "breathe".
C．It comes in all shapes and sizes.
D．It has colourful lights inside.
28．What do we know about the test from Paragraphs 5 and 6
A．People in different groups liked different kinds of cushions.
B．The researchers had people use the cushion during a meditation.
C．The result showed the cushion helped people solve math problems.
D．The test compared the effects of hugging the cushion and sitting quietly.
29．What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage
A．To show how to use a robotic cushion.
B．To introduce a product that helps with anxiety.
C．To warn people about the dangers of being worried.
D．To compare ways of helping people feel less anxious.

（2025八上·北京开学考）Have you ever had the following experiences You are trying to focus on your homework while chatting with your friend online at the same time; or maybe you are attending a lecture while also reading a book that you have brought along…If the answer is YES, well, you are "multitasking".
Multitasking means dealing with more than one task at the same time or switching (转换) between tasks quickly. While it seems like an efficient (效率高的) way to get more things done in less time, studies suggest our brains might not be as good at multitasking as we think.
Firstly, multitasking can make us less focused and lower the quality (质量) of our work. When multitasking, our attention gets split (分开，分散). This means we might make more mistakes and not do our jobs very well. For example, studying while chatting online can make it harder to understand or remember what you're learning; meanwhile, you probably won't be able to fully enjoy that pleasant conversation either.
Besides, we tend to work less efficiently when multitasking. Studies have shown that it takes our brains more time to switch between tasks, which contradicts the belief that multitasking saves time. Experts call it "task switch costs". We meet "task switch costs" because of the increased mental demand (脑力需求) as our mind jumps from one thing to another.
Lastly, multitasking may hurt people's health, both physically and mentally. For teenagers, their brains are busy forming important neural (神经的) connections. Splitting attention too often might have a serious, long-term, negative influence on how these connections form. Moreover, it could lead to anxiety and a feeling of being constantly behind.
However, does it mean we should never ever try multitasking The good news is, some forms of multitasking are easier to realize than others, and here are some suggestions on how to choose the right tasks for multitasking:
Try pairing up complex (difficult thus needs full attention and effort) and automatic (done witho7ut thinking) tasks: For example, you can think about a to-do list (complex) while jogging outdoors (automatic), for the latter doesn't need much mental power.
It's also a good idea to rank (分等级) tasks based on levels of importance first. Don't choose very important ones to multitask; instead, try those that don't need so much attention. Save your focused attention for tasks that matter most.
Knowing your limits (极限) is also necessary. People are different, so you should know your own mental and physical limits when multitasking. If you find the quality of your work drops or feel too nervous, you probably should stop multitasking.
30．Which of the following is NOT an example of multitasking
A．Preparing a meal while watching an interesting talk show online.
B．Attending a meeting while doing online shopping with your phone.
C．Reading a book while thinking about what the passage tries to say.
D．Driving on the road while listening to soft music on the radio.
31．According to the passage, if you "contradict" something, it means ________.
A．you finally find the truth about something after careful research
B．you hold the opposite opinion or believe something is wrong
C．you have to accept something although you are unwilling to
D．you personally dislike something because you are not interested
32．According to the passage, the writer probably agrees that ________.
A．multitasking helps the brain form important neural connections
B．doing difficult and easy tasks at the same time always works well
C．important tasks need more attention and should be done first
D．it's important for people to know when to stop multitasking
33．What is the main idea of the passage
A．The misunderstanding about multitasking and the reasons why.
B．The meaning of multitasking and how different people should do it.

D．The possible disadvantages of multitasking and the right ways to do it.

【点评】考查阅读理解。细节理解题需定位文中具体信息验证选项，解题时需注意区分选项与原文内容是否一致，避免被无关信息干扰，同时结合故事发展脉络梳理关键情节。
30．推理判断题。根据第二段"Multitasking means dealing with more than one task at the same time or switching between tasks quickly."可知，多任务处理是指同时处理多个任务或在任务之间快速切换，所以"一边看书，一边思考文章要说什么。"属于同一种任务。故选C。
31．词义猜测题。根据第二段"While it seems like an efficient way to get more things done in less time," 可知，多任务处理似乎是能在更短的时间内完成更多事情；结合第四段"Studies have shown that it takes our brains more time to switch between tasks," 可知，大脑在任务之间切换需要更多的时间；这二种观点是相反的，所以此处指"持有相反的观点或认为有什么不对劲"。故选B。
32．推理判断题。根据最后一段"…If you find the quality of your work drops or feel too nervous, you probably should stop multitasking."可知， 如果发现工作质量下降或感到过于紧张，可能应该停止多任务处理，所以作者可能赞同让人们知道何时停止多任务处理很重要。故选D。
33．主旨大意题。本文阐述多任务处理的概念及可能出现的缺点和多任务处理的正确的方法，故选D。
（2025八上·北京开学考）Summer camps started in the US. They are programs for students during the summer months in some countries. Students taking part in summer camps are known as campers.
