（2022春·江苏无锡·八年级校联考期中）Many parts of China had heavy rains and serious floods this year. It made us think back to the time in 1998 when the worst floods happened.
Hubei got better after the fight against COVID-19. Just weeks after that, Hubei tried its best to face up to the heavy floods. Many other places had the same problem.

（2022春·江苏无锡·八年级校联考期中）As I enjoyed the soft sunshine in the pool, my 8-year-old daughter swam up behind me.
“Guess who, Mommy?” she said.
“No idea. Who is this mystery (神秘的) person?” I joked.
The pair of us talked and laughed together for the rest of the afternoon.
“Remember this,” I told myself. “You are happy, right here, right now.”
Fast forward a few months, and my thoughts sounded different.
“Just keep going,” I would think, or, “How many sleeps until the weekend?”
I didn’t like what I was like—someone sleepwalking (梦游) through the week, running on coffee and too tired at night to do anything but watch TV. I thought the Christmas break would recognize (使再次充满活力) me, making me ready to take on another year of early starts. But I had to listen to my heart.
My patient husband and friends had listened to me going over the decision for six months, but the time for talking was over. It was time to make my choice: My daughter needed me and I needed her.
When she was really young, I loved the freedom of going to work as the sun was rising, happy that my family was still sound asleep. Then later, my daughter would set her alarm (闹钟) so she could wake up early with me to chat in the dark together.
The morning I planned to tell everyone I was quitting (放弃) my job, we sat together on the couch. I told her how nervous I was about sharing my news in a few hours’ time. Stroking (抚摸) her hair, I asked my daughter what she thought about my decision. “We’ll be so much happier, Mommy,” she said.
Life is never simply a choice between job and family. Ask anyone, and family always comes first.
Besides, I’m not disappearing—there are plenty of projects to keep me fulfilled.
Who knows what’s ahead?
Nobody knows what the future holds, but when it comes to my own, I can make sure it will be filled with long afternoons in the pool with my daughter.

London EyeLondon Eye is 135 meters high and has become one of the world’s tallest observation wheels(观景摩天轮). It has 32 capsules(密闭) and carries about 10, 000 visitors every day. You can travel in complete safety. And you can see up to 40 kilometers away in all directions from each capsule.
Because of the way the capsules are hung, it provides a full 360-degree panorama(全景) when you are at the top of the wheel.
Buckingham PalaceBuckingham Palace is Queen Elizabeth II’s official residence(寝宫). The State Rooms(国事厅) in it have been open to the public for the Summer Opening since 1993. At first, the Summer Opening was considered a way to raise money for repairing Buckingham Palace, but it became so popular that the Queen has continued to let visitors enjoy it every summer. The Queen is not at Buckingham Palace when it is open to the public—she goes to one of her country residences.

More than 7 million objects are kept in the British Museum, and it would probably take a week to see everything! Don’t think the British Museum is full of works of art from old England. In fact, it is full of the treasures the soldiers brought back from far away places. Those treasures include some collections which are the largest and best-known in the world.

47．The incorrect description(描述) of London Eye is that _______.A．it is one of the world’s tallest observation wheels

（2022春·江苏南通·八年级南通市海门区东洲中学校考期中）I had the unkindest mother in the whole world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast. I had to have cereal(谷物) and eggs. When others had Cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. But at least I wasn’t alone. My sister and two brothers had the same unkind mother as I did.
My mother knew where we were at all times. She knew who our friends were. We had to clean clothes and take a bath every day. We had to be in bed by 9: 00 p.m. and up at 8: 00 a.m. We couldn’t sleep till noon like our friends. So while they slept, our mother gave us work to do. We had to wash dishes, make our beds and learn to cook. I believe she lay awake at night thinking up unkind things for us to do.
Through the years, things didn’t improve a bit. We could not lie in bed “sick” like our friends did in order to miss school.
My mother was the unkindest mother. Out of four children, a couple of us went on to higher education. None of us have ever done bad things. She forced us to grow up into educated(受教育) and honest people. I am trying to raise my three children like this. I will feel proud when my children call me unkind. Because you see, I am thankful that I had the unkindest mother in the whole world.

（2022春·江苏南通·八年级南通市海门区东洲中学校考期中）At East China University of Science and Technology, students will get a coupon (优惠券) if they eat up their food. Students can collect coupons and exchange them for small gifts, such as books, magazines, mobile phone covers and hand warmers.
“It’s been such a surprise,’’ said Liang Zhaoyun, 19, a student at the university in Shanghai. “It has given us one more motivation to finish our food.”
The measure is part of a national “eat-up’’ campaign(行动) which is organized by students to deal with food waste on campuses(校园).
Why only on campuses, you might ask? Because according to a report by Xinhua News Agency, students waste twice as much food as the national average(平均).
The campaign on campus food waste is receiving attention across the country.
“The aim of the campaign is not only to encourage students to finish their food. We hope it can also encourage students to choose a more environment-friendly and healthy lifestyle,’’ said Tao Siliang, secretary of the Youth League Committee at Shanghai University.
But some school food is poorly prepared, so students do not like to finish it all. Some schools have taken notice of this and they are taking measures to improve it.
“I’m glad that we’ve reduced food waste since the ‘eat-up’ campaign began. But if we call on students to waste less food, we should also improve the service（服务） and food standard（标准） on campuses.’’ said Tao.
54．From Paragraph l,we know that the students will get a coupon ________.
A．when they eat school food B．after they exchange gifts

（2022春·江苏南通·八年级南通市海门区东洲中学校考期中）Rubbish sorting (分类) probably doesn’t sound like much fun. But there is a new mobile game that may change your opinion about it, and you might even learn something while you play it—Meet Sortee.
Meet Sortee is a puzzle game developed by Flow Studio, a UK company. It makes you think deeply about everyday objects (物体) and their meanings.
The rule of the game is quite simple. Two bins are placed on either side of the screen. Each of the bins has a label （标签) next to it and the label explains what it is for. When an object, such as a car or an apple, appears on the screen, you need to decide which bin it should be sorted into and then send it there by moving your finger.
The game seems easy enough at first. But as you move on to more levels, it gets harder. The number of bins increases (增长) to three or four and the time given gets shorter. You need to think and move faster. That can be really difficult.
There are 400 objects in total and more than 100 bins in the game. The more objects you correctly sort, the more game coins you can get.  It’s a bit like working in a rubbish recycling (回收利用) center, but it has no bad smell.
You can download the free game from Apple’s app store (苹果软件下载中心),  but it only lets you play the first few levels. If you want to open the next 40 levels, you need to pay 6 yuan for the full game.
58．The passage is probably taken from ________.
A．a story book B．a newspaper C．a comic book D．a novel book
59．Which of the following can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A．You can play the full game for free. B．You can play the full game easily.
C．There are only 2 bins in each level. D．There are over 40 levels in the game.
60．The writer of the passage thinks ________.
A．the rule of the game is quite difficult
B．rubbish sorting in the game is boring
C．the rubbish smells good in a rubbish recycling center
D．the game can help people learn about rubbish sorting
61．What’s the best title of the passage?

（2022春·江苏徐州·八年级统考期中）I was on a train in Switzerland. The train came to a stop and the voice over the loudspeaker announced (广播) message in German, Italian, and French. Unluckily, I failed to understand anything about it. I’d made the mistake of not learning any of those languages before my vacation. So, I just sat there doing nothing but waiting to know what was going on.
However, everyone started getting off the train. Then an old woman saw that I was confused. She could speak some English and told me that an accident had happened on the railways. She asked me where I was trying to get. Then she went and talked to some workers and returned to tell me that we had to change trains three or four times to get there.
I was glad when I heard she was going the same way as me. To be honest, it would be never possible for me to figure it out (解决) without her help. We went together from one train station to the next, getting to know each other along the way. She told me a lot of things about Switzerland proudly. A wild smile was always on her face.
It was a three-hour journey in total, and when we made it to the final destination ( 目的地), we got off and said our goodbye. I had made it just in time to catch my train to Rome. She told me she had a train to catch as well. I asked her how much farther she had to go and it turned out that her home was two hours back the other way.
She was really the sweetest woman. She had jumped from train to train and traveled the whole way just to make sure that I made it. I was shocked. A woman spent her whole day sitting on trains and taking her hours away from her home just to help out a confused tourist visiting her country.
This experience is unforgettable. Though I have visited many countries, I’ll always say the most beautiful country is Switzerland.

“Come to the kitchen, young lady,” Mom firmly said to Maria in her best mother tone of voice.
Maria walked into the kitchen and shouted, “I can’t stand living with Felicia another minute. I don’t ever want to talk to her again!”
Mom called out, “Felicia, come to the kitchen right now.”
While Felicia was on her way, Mom put two chairs opposite to each other but very close together. “Maria, you sit here and Felicia, you sit there.” The girls sat face to face, with their knees almost touching. “Now you look at each other in the eye for five minutes,” Mom ordered.
At first the girls moved their bodies from side to side. Mom said, “You must stay looking at each other for five minutes. Each minute you don’t make eye contact means another minute sitting in the chairs.” They both wanted out, so they had to sit there and look at each other.
Felicia looked at Maria’s angry face while Maria looked at Felicia’s. They each thought the other one looked ridiculous (可笑的). In fact, they were being ridiculous to fight and be mad at each other over nothing.

（2022春·江苏常州·八年级统考期中）Clean up the world’s highest mountain
China will cut the number of climbers trying to climb Mount Qomolangma from the north this year as part of plans for the clean-up on the world’s highest mountain. The clean-up activity will include moving away the bodies of climbers who died at more than 8, 000 metres up the mountain.
The total number of climbers trying to reach the top of the world’s highest mountain from the north will be controlled to less than 300. The climbing season will be controlled to spring.
Parts of Qomolangma are in China and Nepal. Each year, around 60, 000 climbers and guides visit the Chinese north side of the mountain, but few actually try to climb it. China has set up stations to sort, recycle and break down rubbish from the mountain, which includes cans, plastic bags, tents and oxygen tanks.
On the Nepalese side, mountaineering trip organizers have begun sending huge rubbish bags to climbers during the spring climbing season. They should collect rubbish that then can be carried by helicopters back to the base camp.
Every year there are many victims on Qomolangma often in the “death area” above 8, 000 metres where the air is the thinnest. In 2017, 648 people reached the top of Qomolangma. Six people have died on the mountain that year, one of them on the north side.
Qomolangma has become the world’s highest rubbish dump. Meanwhile, melting ice caused by global warming is exposing rubbish that has been left on the mountain since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay made the first successful climbing 66 years ago.
77．What can we guess from the first paragraph? ________
A．Some climbers died during mountain climbing.

（2022春·江苏常州·八年级统考期中）Chinese are very generous(慷慨的，大方的） when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course ( 额外的课程 ) activities where they will either learn music or dance, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.
Parents can see that their children’s skills are different, maybe good in some areas ,but poor in others. Most parents fail to realize that today’s children are in need of self-respect and self-confidence.
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.
Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking requires patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.
Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious (好奇的) and have interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.
81．What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A．Parents care about their money. when educating their children.
B．Parents don’t often send their children to the best schools.
C．Parents seldom want their children to take extra-course activities.
D．Parents spend much money on the education without thinking.
82．Most Chinese parents don’t realize __________.
A．how much the best education is worth
B．when children should be educated
C．what children really need in later life
D．why school tests don’t satisfy children
83．The writer’s attitude(态度) to children’s education is that __________.
A．the cheaper an education is, the better it is
B．children today should learn different skills
C．practical skills are helpful to children’s growth
D．school education can’t meet parents’ expectations

（2022春·江苏淮安·八年级统考期中）When your great-grandparents (曾祖父母) were young, the world was very different. People did not have the kind of technology (技术) that we have to communicate with each other today. Things such as mobile phones and computers were not yet invented (被发明). It took longer for people to get news about each other. Today’s technology makes it easier and faster to stay close to people.
Long ago, people wrote letters to keep in touch. From 1860 to 1861, letters were carried by horses. The horse riders were paid to carry letters across the country. Then trains began to carry letters from city to city. By the early 1902, planes were a faster way to carry letters across the country and around the world.
As time goes by, new inventions have made it easy to contact (联系) friends and family in seconds! People began to use telephones in the late 1800s. Modern phones can do many things. Mobile phones can be carried with us wherever we travel. Some phones can even let you take pictures. These images can be sent to other mobile phones.
Computers have made some of the biggest changes in communication. The Internet sends e-mail messages around the world in seconds!

To improve your reading, you can try the form of readers’ theatre, a formatted script for readers to read aloud. It’s so interesting!
Cast of Characters: Narrator, Kayla, Ms. Lee, Zack
Narrator: On a sunny day in southern Texas, Ms. Lee’s students gathered in the school playground.
Ms. Lee: Tomorrow is the day of the sidewalk（人行道）chalk-art festival. The principal has allowed us to practise our wet-chalk drawing on the playground sidewalk, which will be our studio. Remember, whenever you want to draw on a sidewalk, always ask an adult in charge for permission before you draw. Now let’s review the steps of wet-chalk drawing. What do we do first?
Narrator: As the students told her the steps in order, Ms. Lee wrote them on a large pad of paper. When she finished writing, she pulled the paper off the pad and displayed the directions so everyone could read them. Then the students chose and soaked （浸湿）their pieces of chalk. Meanwhile, Kayla and Zack planned their drawing.
Kayla: Let’s draw a jungle feast. Parrots can be eating all kinds of fruit.
Zack: I’ll draw a model train carrying food to the birds.

Zack: Our drawing is ruined（毁坏）！
Kayla: Don’t be so worried! Quick, mix the water and the chalk together! Now let’s use more chalk and smear（涂抹）it around.
Narrator: Kayla and Zack worked quickly. The smeared colours looked glorious, like rich, thick frosting on a cake.
Ms. Lee: That looks great! That’s a special method you’re using, kids. Are you two interested in taking part in the chalk-art festival tomorrow? The timetable for the festival says that drawing starts at 9:00 a.m.

So, one Saturday afternoon Tom and his friend went to look for treasure at the haunted house on Cardiff Hill. It was a quiet and lonely place, which made the boys feel very frightened. They entered quietly, and explored downstairs. There were cobwebs everywhere and everything was old and broken. Then they threw their tools in a corner and walked upstairs, but there was nothing there. They were just about to go downstairs and start digging when Tom stopped.
“What is it?” whispered Huck, going white with fear.
“Keep quiet! There’s someone downstairs.”
The boys lay down, looking through the holes in the wooden floor. There were two men downstairs. One was an old Spaniard in a wide sombrero hat and the other was dirty and unpleasant-looking.
Tom and Huck shook with fear when they heard the Spaniard speak because they found it was Indian Joe. He said.
“It’s time for us to move, partner. What will we do with the $650 from the robbery?”
“Let’s keep $30 each and leave the bag here.”
The dirty man went to the fireplace and moved a stone. Then he lifted out a bag full of money and took out some coins. The two boys forgot all their fears when they saw there was real treasure downstairs. Then Indian Joe started digging a hole with his knife and the knife hit something.
“What is it?” asked the other man.
“It’s a box,” said Indian Joe. And he put in his hand and pulled out a handful of gold coins. The other man found the boys’ tools, and they soon pulled out the box.
“There’s thousands of dollars in there,” said Indian Joe.
“The Murrell Gang used this area one summer,” said his partner.
“They must have hidden their money here.”
“What will we do with this, Joe? Will we bury (埋) it again?”
“No, someone might find it,” said Indian Joe. “Let’s bury it in the number two den.”
Tom and Huck got up as soon as the two men left. They decided to watch out for the “man in the sombrero” when he came to town and find out where the number two den was.

Everybody has a brain, but not many people know how the brain works. Some people believe that the brain is like the hard disk of a computer. We use it to store files, pictures, language (words, texts, sounds) and so on. Others think the brain to be a huge cupboard with lots of shelves and boxes in it. We put information into these boxes and hope to find it again later.
The brain is not a computer disk. And it isn’t a cupboard. Look at the picture here. It looks a bit like weeds (杂草) in a garden, doesn’t it? The picture actually shows a child’s neocortex—a part of the brain that controls sight and hearing. You can guess what happens—more “weeds” grow as the child gets older. Scientists call these neuronal (神经元的) networks. The networks grow around our neurons.
What makes them grow? Learning! “Learning is brain change,” says Professor James Zull from Case Western University in Cleveland, Ohio, USA．“Without learning, nothing changes in the brain. For every new word you learn in your English lesson, every problem you solve in maths, every new song you learn to sing, a neuronal network grows in your brain and the brain changes.”
The more neuronal networks we grow, the better we can think and the better we remember. You may wonder if there is anything you can do to make the networks in your brain grow better. Professor Zull says yes, there is. He says that brain change is strongest when you are interested in and like what you are learning, you are in control of what you learn and you get challenging tasks that make you think hard. Understanding a challenging task makes you feel good and develops your brain.
109．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A．The brain—a fantastic computer. B．What people believe about the brain.
C．How to make your brain stronger. D．Our brain—a growing system.
110．Which of the following things cannot make our brain grow better?
A．Learning new words in your favorite English class.
B．Being the first to work out a math problem.
C．Singing old songs when you are feeling bad.
D．Drawing a mind map after reading a new story.
111．What’s the best title for the passage?
A．Interest is the best teacher B．Go to meet life’s challenges
C．Never too late to learn D．Learning really makes people clever

Last weekend, the four members of my family spent an enjoyable holiday at the Magic Kingdom—Disneyland. And one thing made our visit seem truly magical. We got to the front of the line at Space Mountain, only to find out that our little daughter Gloria couldn’t take her ice-cream on the ride. We were so excited that we all forgot ice-cream was not allowed on the ride.
Gloria broke into tears and we all had no idea what to do. Then Murphy, one of the staff(员工)members, came over. She bent down and told Gloria that she would hold the ice-cream for her and give it to her when she finished the ride. Gloria said, “Really?” Then she gave Murphy her ice-cream, and she completely enjoyed the ride.
Sure enough, as we walked out the exit, there was Gloria’s new friend with “her” ice-cream.
Now you and I both know what happened, because we know that an ice-cream won’t last twenty minutes on a summer afternoon in Florida. Murphy knew what time we would get off the ride. She went to the nearest shop and bought a brand-new ice-cream thirty seconds before we walked out of the exit. Gloria said, “Thank you,” but I’m sure she thought it was the same ice-cream.
We know that someone tried hard to make our visit special. Thanks so much for going above and beyond! Thanks so much for giving us help and make our visit pleasant!
