（2022春·江苏苏州·八年级校考期中）According to a new survey, students’ safety has become a big problem. For example, nearly 50% of students say they are worried about robbery (抢劫) on the way to and from school.

（2022春·江苏苏州·八年级校考期中）“I”—storyteller  Bertie—storyteller’s husband  The White Prince—a lion
…We never had children of our own—just the White Prince—and I can tell you, he was enough of a family for anyone. He walked freely in the park just as we had planned he would, and ran after the deer and the rabbits whenever he felt like it; but he never did learn how to kill for himself. You can’t teach old lions new tricks. He lived on deer mostly, and slept on a sofa in our living room—I wouldn’t have him inside our bedroom, no matter (无论) how often Bertie asked. You know, I have to draw the line somewhere.
Bertie’s leg was never cured (治愈). When it was bad, he often needed a stick, or me, or the lion to lean on. It pained him a lot, especially on cold and wet days, and he never slept well. On Sundays the three of us would walk around the park together, and Bertie would sit on the top of Wood Hill with his arm around the lion’s neck and I would fly kites. You know, I’ve always loved kites. And the lion liked to break them into pieces.
The lion never showed any interest in running away, and even if he’d wanted to, the park wall was too high for an old lion to jump over. Wherever Bertie went, he wanted to go too. And if ever Bertie went out in the car, then he’d sit by me in the kitchen, and watch me with those great amber eyes, listening all the while for the sound of Bertie’s car coming up the path to the front of the house.
The lion was getting older. And he became weak in his legs and could see very little. He spent his last days sleeping at Bertie’s feet. When he died, we buried (埋葬) him at the bottom of the hill. Bertie wanted it that way so he could always see the place from the kitchen window. I advised Bertie to plant a tree in case (以防) he forgot where the lion was. “I will, but he should get more than a tree, ” Bertie said.
Bertie was sad for weeks, months after the lion died. There was nothing I could do to cheer him or even comfort him. He would sit for hours in his room, or go off on long walks by himself. He seemed so shut away inside himself, so distant(遥远的). Try as I did, I could not reach him.
Adapted(节选) from The Butterfly Lion

（2022春·江苏盐城·八年级校考期中）When I was nine years old, I wrote my first poem. My mother read the little poem and cried. “Buddy, it’s a beautiful, beautiful poem!” My mother poured out her praise.
“What time will Father be home?” I asked. I could hardly wait to show him my poem. My father had begun his movie career as a writer. He would be able to appreciate（欣赏）my poem even more than my mother. I confidently put the poem right on my father’s plate on the dining table.
My mother said he would be home around 7. But My father got home an hour later than expected. He sat down at the table and noticed his plate. “What is this?” I heard him say.
“Ben, Buddy has written his first poem. And it’s beautiful, so amazing!”Mother said.
“If you don’t mind, I’d like to decide that for myself,” Father said.
I kept my face lowered to my plate. It was only 10 lines long, but it seemed to take hours. “I think it’s bad,” my father said. I couldn’t look up. My eyes were getting wet.
“Ben, sometimes I don’t understand you,” my mother was saying. “This is just a little boy. He needs encouragement.”
“I don’t know why,” my father held his ground. “Isn’t there enough bad poetry (诗歌) in the world already? No law says Buddy has to become a poet.” I ran from the dining room, threw myself on the bed and cried.
A few months later, I read that first poem. It was a bad poem. I worked up the courage to show him a short story. My father thought it was not good but hopeful. I was learning to rewrite.
As I worked my way into other books and plays and films, I realized how lucky I was to have a mother who said, “Buddy, it’s wonderful!” and a father who shook his head “I think it’s bad.” Both are love that forces me to improve. In fact, all of us in life need both loving force.

（2022春·江苏盐城·八年级校考期中）We think of hospitals as being peaceful and safe places. But in the past few years, doctors and nurses in Chinese public hospitals have been aimed by violent(暴力的) attacks. A study that came out in 2018 showed that one in four doctors in China has suffered physical violence, with some even lose lives.
To prevent such things from happening, the government worked out a draft(草案) law and put it up for review on Oct 22nd. It says that, the safety of medical staff is protected by law and that no one is allowed to hurt medical workers, the Beijing News reported.
In most cases, the attackers were relatives of patients who were not satisfied with their treatment. Most people have high expectations for their doctors. But of course, not every illness can be cured, China Youth Daily noted.
A general lack(缺少) of trust in doctors has also made things worse. Giving doctors cash bribes(现金贿赂) for good treatment has long been an unwritten rule. Some people believe that they may have received useless treatment because they didn’t bribe their doctors. In some cases, their anger in this situation turns into violence.
Another problem is a lack of doctors. Doctors in large public hospitals are often stretched thin(不堪重负的), seeing as many as 60 or more patients in just half a day. It’s difficult for them to provide enough care for each patient.   
Hospitals are trying to find ways to solve these problems. For example, many hospitals have set up offices to hear and deal with patients’ complaints, Xinhua reported.
When some unexpected things happen, patients should ask the experts or the special organizations for advice instead of turning to violence, the State Council said.
39．The underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to ________.
A．Beijing News. B．The review. C．The government. D．The draft law.
40．The writing purpose of this passage is ________.
A．to encourage patients to bribe doctors before the operation
B．to advise people to act wisely instead of turning to violence
C．to prevent people going to hospital because of violent attacks
D．to describe the problems that doctors in China are suffering from
41．What can we NOT infer (推断) from the passage?
A．In some ways, doctors and nurses can be protected in the future.
B．Stricter rules will be made to prevent doctors from receiving bribes.
C．Most people must learn basic medical knowledge for their own safety.
D．More offices in hospitals will be set up to deal with patients’ complaints.
42．Which of the following shows how the-passage develops?

One day, while our cab (出租马车) was waiting outside a park, a dirty old cab drove up beside us. The horse was an old chestnut (栗色马). Suddenly she looked at me and said, “Black Beauty, is that you?”
It was Ginger! But how different she was! She was thin, and tired from too much hard work. She looked miserable (悲惨的) and she had a bad cough. She told me her sad story. She had a year’s rest and then a gentleman bought her. For a while she got on very well. Then one day after a long gallop (疾驰) her old problem returned, and her back hurt again. They bought and sold her several times after that.
“Then at last,” she said, “a man who has a lot of cabs and horses bought me. I work hard, all week, with no rest on Sundays. I wish I was dead.”
I was very sad to hear this. I put my nose up to Ginger’s, but I didn’t know what to say to her. She said, “Black Beauty, you are my only friend.”
Just then her driver came back, and they drove off. I felt very sad indeed to see Ginger like this.
A short time after this I saw a cart with a dead horse in it. It was a chestnut horse with a long, thin neck. I think it was Ginger. I hope so, for then all her problems were over.
One day a lady got into the cab. “Jeremiah Barker,” she said, “Is that you? How are Polly and the children?”
I listened to Jerry’s answer and found Mrs. Fowler was a lady Polly once worked for. She asked Jerry.
“How do you find the cab work in winter? I know Polly was worried about you last year.”
“Yes, ma’am, it was a hard winter and I had a bad cough,” he replied.
“Well, Barker,” Mrs Fowler continued, “I know people who want good drivers or grooms. If you stop working on the cabs one day, let me know.”
“Certainly, ma’am,” smiled Jerry. “Thank you,” he said, and he seemed very pleased.

（2022春·江苏扬州·八年级校考期中）Many people might think that if they had more money, then they would be happier in life. For example, people might look at what others have, like expensive clothes or nice cars, and wish they could have the same. But the things that money can buy cannot bring happiness to a person for long.
① But is that really true? Studies have found that money can, in fact, make people happier. ② Instead, it's giving money to others that makes people happy.  ③ It could be buying a homeless person food to eat.  ④ It could be giving money to a person in need. Just think about the last time you used your own money to do something for someone else. How did you feel? Whether it is a small or large amount of money. People feel happier when they give. This is because making someone else happy makes the giver happy, too.
This idea of connecting your happiness to the happiness of others is described as a ubuntu in an African language. There is even a story about a man visiting Africa who asked some kids to race to a nearby tree. The first child to touch the tree would get a sweet treat. Surprising, all the children held hands and ran together. They all touched the tree at the same time. The man asked why they had done this.

Another Disney princess movie hit theaters on March 5. But this time the princess doesn’t wait for the prince to save her—she is ready to save the world herself. Raya and the Last Dragon, the film shows Southeast Asian culture and Disney’s first Southeast Asian heroine (女主角).
The story takes place in a world called Kumandra. Five hundred years ago, the world’s dragons died to save humans. But the world breaks up into five states that fight against each other. Raya, the princess of one of the states, needs to find the last dragon to save the world. On her journey, Raya invites other people to join her and learns to trust others and be more responsible.

Besides Raya, most of the main characters in the movie, including the dragon Sisu, are female. They stand out and depend on（依靠） no one else instead of acting as supporting roles for males. Namaari, once a friend to Raya, is now a dangerous enemy. She is a strong, brave and loyal fighter, just like Raya.
The movie shows “a complicated dynamic (复杂互动) that’s still rare in the Disney universe, particularly between women,” the Los Angeles Times said.

（2022春·江苏扬州·八年级校考期中）You might have seen beautiful rainbows(彩虹) in the sky before. They form when sunlight falls on water drops in the air. But in fact, moonlight can also create(产生) rainbows in the same way. They are called “moonbows”. They are similar to rainbows, but they are created by moonlight instead of direct sunlight.
Moonbows are rarer than rainbows. Different weather and astronomical (天文学的) conditions have to be just right for moonbows to be created.
The moon has to be very low in the sky—only 42 degrees from the horizon (地平线). The moon period has to be a full moon or nearly full. The sky must be very dark for a moonbow to be watched clearly—any bright light can obscure it. Water drops must appear(出现) in the air in the opposite direction of the moon.
Moonbows appear on the opposite side of the moon and usually look white to the human eye. This is because their colors are not bright enough to be noticed by the human eye. It is possible, however, to see the colors in a moonbow using long exposure (长时间曝光) photography.
Moonbows more often appear in some places around the world. Most of these places usually have waterfalls, which create thin fog in the air. Some of these places are the Yosemite National Park in California and Cumberland Falls State Resort Park in Kentucky, US; Victoria Falls on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe; and Waimea in Hawaii, US.
Moonbows do really happen. So at a certain time and a certain place, when a moonbow happens to appear, you can’t miss it if you’re right there.
69．According to the first two paragraphs, moonbows are _________.
A．created by sunlight B．much easier to find
C．seen during the day D．more difficult to form
70．Which of the following can be the conditions for a moonbow to appear?
A．A half moon hangs high in the bright sky.
B．A full moon is 50 degrees from the horizon.
C．A nearly full moon hangs low in the dark sky.
D．Water drops are in the same direction of the sun.
71．What does the underlined word “obscure” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．cover B．drop C．connect D．pollute
72．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A．Conditions of moonbows. B．Introductions to moonbows.

（2022春·江苏盐城·八年级校联考期中）A city’s landmark is usually the thing that causes tourists’ attention. It is a symbol of the city. Different cities have different styles of architecture. But a landmark means the most famous of it.
The Elizabeth Tower, commonly known as Big Ben, has seen the history of the city of London, the UK. The tower was set up in 1858. The clock weighs 13.5 tons. It’s the biggest clock in Britain. The sound of Big Ben is part of London people’s lives. For over a hundred years, people have listened to its sound. They think of it as an old friend.

（2022春·江苏扬州·八年级校考期中）After I had been ashore a dozen days, I realized how difficult it became to keep track of the days. So I cut a large post and carved into it with my knife: “I came on shore here on the 30th of Sept. 1659.”
Each day that passed, I cut a notch. For every seventh day, I cut a longer notch. Then at the start of each new month, I cut the longest notch of all. Thus I could keep track of the days, weeks, and months far more easily.
I cried many a tear from loneliness and self-pity. But, it helped that I was busy creating a proper settlement for myself. I needed a place where I could be secure and where I could watch for passing ships.
I soon found a safe place on the side of a hill. I set about building a fence from long stakes. At over five feet tall, this fence would not be easily scaled by wild beats or humans. I made no door to my fence. Instead a rope ladder that could be pulled inside.
I brought all my riches inside the fence. Then, I set about creating a large tent with a smaller tent inside. This kept me secure against the violent rains that fell at certain times of year.
I was a very sorry workman, having never built anything before. But I learned much from the process. I remade the chair several times before I was happy with it.
