（2022春·江苏宿迁·八年级统考期末）One afternoon, I went shopping in a shop. I saw the shopkeeper talking to a boy. “I’m sorry, but you don’t have enough money to buy this toy.” The boy looked very sad, holding the toy in his arms tightly (紧紧地). I walked to him and asked who he wanted to give it to.
“I want to give it to Mommy so she can give it to my sister when she goes there. My sister has gone (已经去) to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going there very soon too, so I think Mommy can take it to her.”
Then he showed me a photo of his. He told me, “I want Mommy to take my picture with her, too. I love Mommy and I don’t want her to leave me. But Daddy says that she has to go to stay with my little sister.” Then he began crying.
After hearing these, I put some money in his bag quietly. Then I said, “Let’s check again, and maybe you have enough money for the toy.”

（2022春·江苏扬州·八年级统考期末）One evening, Anne was at home doing her homework. Matthew was home, but Marilla had gone to the town with the Barrys. Suddenly, Anne looked up and saw Diana standing at the door. She looked very worried.
“What is the matter, Diana?” cried Anne.
“Oh, Anne, do come quickly,” said Diana nervously. “Minnie May is very sick. Father and Mother are away in town and there’s nobody to go for the doctor.”
Matthew quietly got his cap and coat and went for the doctor. The two little girls ran to Diana’s house hand in hand. Minnie May was Liana’s three-year-old sister. She was very sick. Anne saw her and immediately went to work. She had looked after many children before and knew what to do.
“First we must have lots of hot water. Put the fire on. Then I’m going to give her some medicine.” Minnie May did not like the medicine, but Anne did not give up.
All night, Diana and Anne stayed with Minnie May. It was three o’clock when Matthew came with the doctor. But by then, Minnie May was sleeping. Anne told the doctor what she had done. He was very impressed. Later on, he told Mr. and Mrs. Barry, “That little red-headed girl is very smart. She saved that baby’s life.”
The next day at dinner, Marilla told Anne, “Mrs. Barry was here this afternoon. She said you saved Minnie May’s life. She invited you to her house.”

（2022春·江苏扬州·八年级统考期末）One day, when I finished raising money for a charity and was on the train back home, I put down my phone and started writing thank-you notes to people who helped.
When I got off the train, I felt amazingly good. The next day, I wrote more thank-yous and the same feeling of happiness hit me again. I suddenly had the idea: Why not keep on doing this for every day of the year?
To keep on task, I decided to pick out a different theme for each month. January was charity. February would be neighbours. And many names came to my mind right away.
While writing the notes, I realized I spent too much time on the phone moving from app to app, enjoying other people’s lives. Writing thank-you notes allowed me the time to do something different, paying more attention to my own life.
In the following months, I wrote to my friends, doctors and teachers. In July, my “food” month, I wrote to Julie, who used to cook at my favorite restaurant. It went like this:
Dear Julie,
I find myself missing you lately. Thank you for hosting and cooking beautiful food. Jake and I will never forget the cake you made for our wedding. We talk about it every year.
Thank you. We miss you.
Love,
Gina
I was happy to receive a note back from her. Julie replied, “I don’t think I’ve ever received such a touching letter before. I’m going through a hard time right now, and this helps.”
On December 31, I wrote my last card—to Jake, my husband, and our two kids. And I took a picture of us, so I could remember the feeling coming up inside me. Gratitude.
9．The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 means ________.
A．writing thank-you notes B．taking the train back home
C．putting the phone away D．raising money for charities
10．How did Julie most probably feel after reading the note from Gina?
A．Shy and surprised. B．Pleased and relaxed.
C．Nervous and excited. D．Moved and encouraged.
11．The theme of the December notes might be “________”.
A．charity B．neighbour C．family D．food
12．What did Gina get by doing her task according to the passage?
A．Many thanks from her neighbors. B．More time to enjoy her own life.

（2022春·江苏淮安·八年级统考期末）
It was dark that night and it wasn’t easy to see where we were going. Suddenly, a big steamboat (汽船) came at us very fast. Jim and I jumped off the raft (木筏) into the water. The boat hit the raft and went on up the river.
When I came up out of the water, I couldn’t see Jim anywhere. I called out his name again and again, but there was no answer. “He’s dead!” I thought. Slowly, I swam to the side of the river and got out. I was near a big old wooden house. Suddenly, a lot of angry dogs jumped out at me and someone called from the house, “Who’s there?”
“George Jackson,” I answered quickly. “I’ve fallen off a river boat.”
The people in that house took me in and gave me some new clothes and a good meal. I told them that my family were all dead, so they said I could stay with them as long as I wanted.
A few days later, a slave (奴隶) in the house came to me and said, “Come with me!” Together, we went down to some trees by the river. “In there!” he said and went away.
On the ground, I found a man, asleep. It was Jim! I was really happy to see him. When the steamboat hit the raft, Jim told me, the raft didn’t crash. Jim swam after it and caught it. Then he began to look for me.
We decided to leave at once. It’s all right living in a house for a little while, but we feel more free and easy and comfortable on a raft.
—— Adapted from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

（2022春·江苏淮安·八年级统考期末）Being a frugal consumer (节俭的消费者) is one way to protect our environment. But what exactly does that mean?
Use It Up
① You can use things up instead of wasting them. Squeeze (挤压) the last bit of toothpaste (牙膏) out of the tube. Use the last little piece of soap (肥皂). Don’t throw away any bits of the biscuit at the bottom of the box.
Wear It Out
② You do not always need to have new things. Suppose (假设) your trainers have broken laces (鞋带), but they still fit you. Repair them and wear them longer. You don’t get a new mobile phone until the old one doesn’t work any more. Don’t throw anything away when it still works.
Make It Do
③ When something you want is not on hand, look for something else that you already have to take its place. Suppose you are packing your lunch for tomorrow and want a sandwich. You are out of sandwiches. Have some bread instead, and you can use all of the bread. Learn to fix broken toys instead of just throwing them away. With a little thought, you can make something do, instead of buying something new.
Do Without
④ Do you really need them? How long will you really play with that new toy you saw on TV? Making the things that we want uses up the world’s resources. And, throwing away the things we don’t want any more takes up even more resources and space.

（2022春·江苏淮安·八年级统考期末）In fear and surprise I hid in the corn, and hoped he would not notice me. He shouted in a voice like thunder and seven other giants appeared. They seemed to be his servants (仆人). When he gave the order, they began to cut the corn in the field where I was hiding. As they moved towards me, I moved away. But at last I come to a field where rain had knocked down the corn. There was no longer anywhere for me to hide. I lay down and prepared to die. I could not stop myself thinking of Lilliput. There, I myself had been a giant, an important person who had become famous for helping the people of that small country. Here, it was the opposite. I was like a Lilliputian in Europe, and I began to understand how a very small creature feels.
Suddenly I noticed that one of the giants was very close to me as his huge foot rose over my head. I screamed as loudly as I could. He looked around on the ground and finally saw me. He stared at me for a moment. Then very carefully, he picked me up with finger and thumb and looked at me. I was now twenty meters high in the air, and I hoped he would not decide to throw me to the ground. I did not struggle, and spoke politely to him, although I knew he did not understand any of my languages. He took me to the farmer who soon realized that I was not an animal, but a bright being.

（2022春·江苏淮安·八年级统考期末）Volunteers are often overlooked(忽视) by people. But no activities can carry on smoothly without hard-working volunteers. Last month, I volunteered at the Color Run in Melbourne, Australia. Although I didn’t have so much fun as the runners, I still learned a valuable lesson.
My job was to give a high five(击掌) to every runner at the finish line. At the beginning, I saw it as a simple task. When the first runner passed, I reached out my hands and shouted “Good job!” excitedly. However, as more and more people crossed the finish line and clapped their hands with mine, my arms got sore. What’s worse, it became hotter. My clothes were wet because of the sweat(汗水), and I felt really tired. But soon I saw a group of children running towards me. They were about 6 years old. Although they hardly caught their breath, they still kept going with big smiles on their faces. They put up their hands and said loudly, “High five!”
At that moment, I was quite touched. They were so young, and they refused to give up. Suddenly, I felt myself full of strength(力量). I clapped their hands, “Well done, little guys!”
That is the meaning of being a volunteer. It is never an easy job. However, we meet different people and see the spirit that touches us. Although such spirit is not often found in daily life, it can help us learn a lot when we see it by accident.
42．Where did the Color Run take place last month?

（2022春·江苏扬州·八年级统考期末）You may often hear some myths（传言）about animals. For example, one dog year equals about seven human years, chameleons（变色龙）change color to match their environment…Today, let’s talk about birds. It is said that if you touch a baby bird, the parents will completely abandon（抛弃）it. Do you really believe it?
In fact, most birds have a very poor sense of smell, so in most cases they are unable to even notice the smell of humans on baby birds. Not only that, but most types of birds aren’t so quick to abandon their young when they sense danger. Some types will even do their best to protect their young when they are in danger.
Indeed, in very few known cases, parent birds sometimes abandoned their nests from something touching their young, just because they noticed it by sight, not smell. When this happens, the parent birds usually won’t care, other than to be a little more careful than normal. Sometimes, they may temporarily（暂时地）abandon the nest in order to better watch whatever disturbed their nest.
What’s more, in most cases, even if the nest is destroyed by wind or something to that effect, you could create a new one and put all the baby birds back in it, and when the parents came back, they wouldn’t care their baby birds were in a different nest, so long as you put the new nest near where the old one was so they can find it.
56．Which of the following is True?
A．Birds have a very good sense of smell.
B．A baby bird will die soon if it is touched by someone.
C．Whatever disturbed the nest will never come back.
D．Some birds will protect their babies when they are in danger.
57．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Their nest. B．Their baby.
C．Something touching their young. D．Some birds abandoning their nests.
58．Which of the following shows the structure（结构）of the passage?  
（①＝Paragraph 1（第一段）, ②＝Paragraph 2…）
A． B． C． D．
59．What is the best title of this passage?
A．Bird Truth B．Baby Birds C．Bird Nests D．Bird Smell

（2022春·江苏扬州·八年级统考期末）It was a usual morning. After snoozing (瞌睡) twice, I took care of my three cats, and then hurried to complete housework while drinking some coffee. Oh, my dear! I nearly forgot my mid-morning appointment. I raced out!
By the time I finished my appointment, I felt a little hungry. I stopped at Moe’s to order a pie to take home and eat while working.
Since it was a little before noon, there was a line of people. A woman, who I later learned was Marcella, was paying at the register (柜台). She asked the woman behind her in line if she would like a drink and then asked me. We both said no, and must have looked confused (困惑的), because she said, ‘I got you.’ She continued to pay for both of our meals – even though we were strangers.
I asked Marcella why she did this, and she shared that someone once did something similar for her. The person asked that she might pay it forward some day and she was making good on her promise.
Before leaving, she gave me a warm hug (拥抱) and asked me to do an act of kindness for a stranger when I could. I nodded. I arrived home, but instead of working through lunch, I sat and kept thinking of her kindness.
Marcella didn’t need to pay for my lunch. But she did, and it brightened my day. Not because I got to keep my $15, but because she was kind – and did not want to receive anything in return.
▲ I’ll make a small difference in someone else’s life, and the ripple effect (连锁反应) will continue. Because that’s what being human is all about – being kind – even to a stranger.

（2022春·江苏南通·八年级统考期末）The Arctic, Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans are the four oceans we learned about in the Geography class. But now we have a new ocean.
On World Ocean Day, which falls on June 8, the National Geographic Society announced it would recognize(承认)the Southern Ocean in Antarctica(南极洲).
Unlike the Arctic, Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans—which are defined by the continents(大陆)around them, the Southern Ocean is instead characterized by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current(南极绕极流). According to National Geographic, the Southern Ocean includes most of the waters surrounding Antarctica out to 60 degrees south latitude(纬度).
“It’s reported that it is the only ocean to touch three others and to completely embrace(包围)a continent rather than being embraced by several continents,” Sylvia Earle, an American biologist and oceanographer, told the Daily Mail.
Those familiar with the Southern Ocean know it’s unlike any other ocean. “Anyone who has been there will find it difficult to explain what’s so amazing about it, but they’ll all agree that the glaciers(冰川)are bluer, the air colder, the mountains more frightening and the landscapes more attractive than anywhere else you can go,” Seth Sykora-Bodie, a marine scientist, told National Geographic.
Because of the different environment of the Southern Ocean, it’s home to thousands of unique species(物种). The ocean also has wider ecological effects. For example, humpback whales are known to feed on small shrimp off Antarctica during the summer before moving north to the warmer climates of Central and South America for the colder winter months, according to the Daily Mail.
The National Geographic Society hopes their revised(修订过的)maps will help the public learn more about the area, and it helps to encourage Southern Ocean protection—but its importance is even beyond that.
“We think it’s very important from an educational standpoint to bring attention to the Southern Ocean as a fifth ocean,” Alex Tait, a geographer, told the Post. “So when students learn about parts. of the ocean world, they learn it’s an interconnected ocean, and they learn there are these areas called oceans that are really important, and that there’s a special one in the icy waters around Antarctica.”
71．We can learn about these oceans in the Geography class EXCEPT _________.
A．the Indian Ocean B．the Pacific Ocean C．the Southern Ocean D．the Atlantic Ocean
72．Which of the following is TRUE?
A．The Southern Ocean is embraced by the continents.
B．The Southern Ocean is much smaller than the others.
C．A continent is embraced by the Southern Ocean.
D．All the oceans are defined by the continents.
73．What does the underlined word “unique” in the passage mean?
A．Special. B．Common. C．Interesting. D．Ancient.
74．What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．It’s important to learn about the Southern Ocean.
B．It’s important to know that there are five oceans.
C．It’s necessary to mark the Southern Ocean on the map.
D．It’s important and necessary to protect all the oceans.
