（2022秋·浙江衢州·八年级统考期末）A visit to the old city of Petra in Jordan is an amazing experience. Around the city, there are mountains with many pink rocks. To get to the mountains, tourists walk for over a kilometer through a narrow hole in the rock. Then they come to a large building in the side of a cliff (悬崖). Petra has many of these beautiful rock-cut buildings, and they make the city famous.
Two thousand years ago, Petra was a busy and noisy place. People came from far away to buy and sell in the market places. The city became rich. At one time, more than 30,000 people lived there. But the pink rocks were not as safe as they looked. Earthquakes (地震) made many of the buildings fall down. As the year went by, people stopped coming and living there. Finally, the world forgot the city of Petra.
In 1812, a Swiss traveler called Johann Burckhardt heard about the lost city. Local people told him that it was in the mountains, and someone took him there. When Burckhardt went back to Europe, he wrote about Petra and people started visiting the city.
________ More than a million tourists go there every year. People sell postcards, camel rides and cold drinks there. There are museums, shops and restaurants, but nobody lives there. At night, the old city is quiet again.

C．The Earthquakes in Petra D．The Problems in Petra

【答案】6．B 7．C 8．B 9．B

【导语】本文主要介绍了约旦古城——佩特拉，这座古城有着辉煌的历史，但是由于地震，许多建筑遭到破坏，古城也随之被人遗忘，直至1812年，一位来自瑞士旅行者来到了这座古城，并在之后写下了关于古城的内容，它才再次被人们所知，此后古城重现生机，成为旅游胜地。
6．词义猜测题。根据“Petra has many of these beautiful rock-cut buildings, and they make the city famous.”可知，佩特拉有很多这些美丽的岩石切割建筑，是它们使得佩特拉这个城市变得有名，所以该句中的划线单词they“它们”，指代的是岩石切割建筑物。故选B。
7．细节理解题。根据“The city became rich. At one time, more than 30,000 people lived there.”，“Earthquakes (地震) made many of the buildings fall down. As the year went by, people stopped coming...Finally, the world forgot the city of Petra.”，“In 1812, a Swiss traveler called Johann Burckhardt heard about the lost city...When Burckhardt went back to Europe, he wrote about Petra and people started visiting the city.”和“More than a million tourists go there every year.”可知，从前佩特拉是一个富裕的城市，且曾有三万多人居住在那里，而因地震使得很多建筑物倒塌，随着时间流逝，佩特拉被世界遗忘，直至1812年，有一位瑞士旅行者在这个地方游玩后写下了关于这座古城的内容，人们才再次知道这座古城，并且每年都会有超过一百万的游客去佩特拉旅游，所以关于佩特拉的事情发展顺序为c-d-a-b。故选C。
8．推理判断题。根据“When Burckhardt went back to Europe, he wrote about Petra and people started visiting the city.”和此空后的句子“More than a million tourists go there every year.”可知，瑞士旅行者在佩特拉旅游后返回欧洲，并写下了关于这座古城的文章，此后人们又再次开始来这座城市旅游，每年都有超过一百万的游客来佩特拉，所以此空应是选项B“如今，佩特拉又是一个繁忙的地方了。” 起承上启下的作用。故选B。
9．最佳标题题。根据“A visit to the old city of Petra in Jordan is an amazing experience.”，“Finally, the world forgot the city of Petra.”和“More than a million tourists go there every year.”可知，游览约旦的佩特拉古城是一次非常美妙的经历，但由于地震，最后佩特拉这座城市被世界遗忘，而现如今，这座城市又再次热闹起来，符合本文的最佳标题应为选项B“佩特拉：失落之城”。故选B。

（2022春·浙江杭州·八年级期末）Jenny is excited to go to school these days. The 13-year-old girl is from South Gate Middle School in Los Angeles, US. She is taking care of three green abalones (鲍鱼) at school.
The students of Violeta Llamas science class, including Jenny, have cared for the sea animals since January. The science class has eight teams. Each team takes turns to care for the abalones. Team Five—Jenny, Alexis, Jennifer and Ricardo—have now got their turn.
The abalones are kept in a box of seawater. Every day, Alexis checks if the water has too much salt. Too much salt is bad for the health of the abalones. Jenny makes fresh seawater. Then the four students work together to clean up the waste in the box and give some food to the abalones.
“Sea life is like a baby. You have to clean them and care for them.” Jennifer said.
Nancy Cruse, a scientist, leads the project. She said the number of green abalones is going down because people have caught too many of them. She said protecting the sea lives now depends on the young students.
“The students love taking care of the abalones,” said Llamas.
“Taking care of the abalones could open the door for those who want to be a sea life scientist or an environment protector,” she said.

（2022春·河北保定·八年级统考期末）Since the earliest times, trees have always been very useful and important to man. Even today trees continue to serve us in so many ways.

（2022秋·天津和平·八年级天津市第五十五中学校考期末）Seasonal affective disorder季节性情绪失调
Do you feel down more often during the winter months? If so, you might have winter depression. It’s also known to doctors as seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
SAD usually starts in autumn or winter and ends in spring or early summer. As the weather gets colder and the days get shorter, you feel more tired, sleepy and even hopeless at times.
However, we still don’t know the exact cause (原因) of SAD．Some scientists think that hormone (激素) changes can cause this kind of depression, Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) News reported. During winter, it stays dark outside for much of the day. This causes the brain to make more melatonin (褪黑素).This hormone makes you feel sleep and less excited.
Getting more sunlight is the best way to deal with SAD．Doctors say people should spend at least some time outside every day during the winter. “Light therapy (疗法)”, or using special lamps at home to simulate (模仿) natural light, can also help. But if you still feel deeply depressed, you should go to a doctor.
28．What does the underlined word “down” mean in Paragraph 1?
A．Worried. B．Excited. C．Happy. D．Unhappy.
29．We have the following feelings during the winter EXCEPT ________.
A．tired B．sleepy C．excited D．hopeless
30．How many ways can we take to deal with SAD by ourselves?
A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Five.
31．What CANNOT we learn from this passage?
A．SAD usually starts in autumn or winter and ends in spring or early summer.
B．We know the exact cause of SAD．
C．Getting more sunlight is the best way to deal with SAD．
D．During the winter, sometimes we feel more tired, sleepy and even hopeless.
32．What’s the main idea of this passage?
A．What is SAD? B．The best way to deal with SAD．
C．When does SAD happen? D．Hormone changes can cause SAD．

【答案】28．D 29．C 30．C 31．B 32．A

【导语】本文介绍了季节性情绪失调的相关信息。
28．词义猜测题。根据后文“you might have winter depression.”可知，你可能会得冬季抑郁症，由此推知，此处意为在冬季的几个月你会不会经常感到不开心，划线词意为“不开心，不高兴”，D选项符合此意。故选D。
29．细节理解题。根据第二段“As the weather gets colder and the days get shorter, you feel more tired, sleepy and even hopeless at times.”可知，随着天气越来越冷，白天越来越短，你会感到更加疲惫、困倦，有时甚至绝望，C选项“兴奋的”没有提到，故选C。
30．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Getting more sunlight is the best way to deal with SAD…‘Light therapy’, or using special lamps at home to simulate natural light, can also help. But if you still feel deeply depressed, you should go to a doctor.”可知，多晒太阳是应对悲伤的最好方法，“光疗法”，或者在家里使用特殊的灯来模拟自然光，也有帮助，但是如果你仍然感到非常沮丧，你应该去看医生。可知共有阳光、灯和医生三种方法。故选C。
31．推理判断题。根据“However, we still don’t know the exact cause of SAD.”可知，我们仍然不知道SAD确切的原因。所以B选项“我们知道SAD确切的原因”与文意不符。故选B。
32．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了季节性情绪失调的相关信息。A选项“什么是季节性情绪失调？”能概括文意。故选A。
（2022春·四川乐山·八年级统考期末）Nowadays, mobile phones take up most of our time. We look at our mobile phones as we’re walking, play with them as we’re studying, and don’t want to put them down as we go to bed.
The China Security Perception Report (2021) by the Internet Development Research Institution (机构) of Peking University says over half of internet users say they want to get away from the internet and stay away from mobile phones. However, it is a very tall order especially now in China because we use our phones to pay for everything we bought every day.
There’s a new app which has a function (功能) to help users manage the time. For example, users can see how many times they’ve unlocked their phone, how many times they’ve checked their social media apps, and how much time they spend on each app every day. After seeing this information, the users will make some changes.
With the App Timer (计时) function, users can set a time limit (限制) for how long they can use each app for every day. After they’ve reached the limit, they won’t be able to use the app until the next day. And with another function, the app gets incoming calls silent when the user puts the phone face down.
But if people truly want to make full use of their free time instead of losing hours on their phones, it will not need to depend on any apps.
After all, who needs to use an app to stop you from using other apps? The easiest answer would be just to use your willpower (毅力).
33．According to the China Security Perception Report, how many internet users want to stop using their mobile phones?
A．60% or so. B．Less than 50%. C．About 36%. D．30% or so.
34．What does the underlined phrase “tall order” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．长的订单 B．长的命令 C．困难的事情 D．亟待解决的问题
35．Which of the followings is NOT included in the new app’s functions?
A．It stops the users from using willpower.
B．It checks how much time the users spend on apps.
C．It lists the times the users have unlocked the phone.
D．It shows the times the users have checked social media apps.
36．How can the users get incoming calls silent with the help of the app?
A．Turn off the phone. B．Turn down the sound.
C．Put up the phone. D．Put the phone face down.
37．What does the writer think of the new app?
A．Its functions are perfect. B．It may be helpful to some people.
C．It needs more functions. D．It has too many functions.

【答案】33．A 34．C 35．A 36．D 37．B

37．观点态度题。根据“After seeing this information, the users will make some changes.”可推知，作者认为这个app可能对一些人有帮助。故选B。
（2022秋·广东广州·八年级统考期末）What do you think is the most important invention of the past 2000 years? The TV? The printer? The telephone? Or the computer? A report shows that these are not the only important inventions. Here are four other important ones.
Paper is one of the most important inventions. You can’t have printing without paper. In 105 AD, Cai Lun invented paper in China. Long before the printer and Internet, Cai Lun’s invention allowed us to write down information, stories and history.
One of the simplest inventions to save life is the toilet. Before toilet, waste ran into the rivers from people’s houses. Illnesses were common in big cities, and it was often difficult to find clean drinking water.
Animal food is another invention. Before the invention, most animals were killed every autumn because there was not enough food for them in the winter. After hay(牧草) became a kind of common animal food, animals could live through the long winter.
Reading glasses is the fourth invention. People start getting farsighted from the age of 45. Glasses mean that anyone can read, write, and do “close work” after that age. Without glasses, the world would be difficult for people above 45.
38．Cai Lun’s invention of paper makes it possible to ________.
A．have printing B．feed animals C．drink clean water D．do “close work”
39．The invention of the toilet can stop people from ________ so easily.
A．saving water B．getting ill C．living in big cities D．finding clean water
40．Why couldn’t the animals live through the winter?
A．It was very cold in winter. B．They didn’t have enough food to eat.
C．They had no drinking water. D．They died of illness.
41．What does the underlined word “farsighted” mean according to your understanding?
A．远视 B．近视 C．头晕 D．迟钝
42．From the last paragraph we learn that ________.
A．all people need reading glasses B．anyone must do “close work” after 45
C．reading glasses are useful D．life is more difficult for the people under 45

（2022秋·山东青岛·八年级统考期末）Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some suggestions for you to bridge generation gap(代沟).
Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. You can’t express(表达) yourself well if you are angry. Go to some place to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise(和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree(有分歧) on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a car. They argued over it, but finally they came to a compromise. Michael bought the car, but only drove it on certain days.
Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try.

（2022春·广东·八年级统考期末）Do you remember the elephant “tour group” in Yunnan? Where are they now? They are back at their home!
In March, 2020, a family of 15 wild Asian elephants left their habitat in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province. Since then, they had kept going north, through mountains, forests, rivers and even city streets. Along their journey, they ran into villages and ate farmers’ corn. But no one blamed（责怪）them. “It is OK. They are just hungry,” a farmer said.
Scientists guessed that the elephants were losing their habitat, so they might go north to look for a new home with more food. Or the group might lose its way because its leader had no experience！
To help the elephants get home and protect them, the government used 76 police cars and trucks, as well as five diggers and nine drones（无人机）. Police and scientists closely watched them. They watched the group’s movement and sent warnings（警示）to nearby people not to get close to the elephants. They also helped them with food and drink. Finally, the elephants ended their trip safely and happily after 17 months and a 500-kilometer journey.
The Asian elephant is the largest land animal in Asia. Yunnan is the only habitat for wild Asian elephants in China. The province has built 11 nature reserves. There are only 300 of them in China. The WWF is working hard to save them.

A．school B．home C．friends D．villagers

（2022春·河北保定·八年级统考期末）There were two men who lived next to each other. One of them was a retired teacher and the other was a lawyer. Both of them had planted many different plants in their gardens. The retired teacher rarely watered his plants and didn’t care much for them. But his neighbor was very careful with his plants and watered them often.
The retired teacher’s plants were small, but still looked okay, while the lawyer’s plants were much bigger and greener. One night, there was a heavy rain and strong wind, then came a terrible storm. The next morning, both of the neighbors came out to check on their gardens. The lawyer saw that his plants had been ripped from（拽出）the ground and were totally destroyed（摧毁）. But the retired teacher’s plants were not damaged at all but stood firm.
The lawyer was surprised. He went to ask the retired teacher. “We both grew the same plants and I cared for my plants better than you did. How could your plants still be okay?” The retired teacher smiled and said, “Because you gave your plants too much care. You made it too easy for them to grow. I gave my plants just a little bit of water,so their roots had to grow deeper to absorb（吸收）more water. That is why my plants survived.”
