“This nice tree near the garden is my home,” Blue Bird said. “Oh no,” replied Crow. “I’d like to live in this tree. From here I can see when Mrs. Brown plants her seeds in the garden. Then I can fly down and eat them.”
“Let’s ask if any of our friends have an opinion about who should live in this tree,” said Blue Bird. “Then we will decide whose home it will be.” First they saw Rabbit hop by. “Who should live in this tree ” Crow asked.

Shylock held his knife and told Antonio to get ready. “Wait!” shouted Portia. “You will not do anything that is not written in the contract. Is that right, Shylock ”
“Yes, that’s right,” said Shylock.

（22-23八年级下·江苏南通·期中）“I wish I had straight hair”; “I’d like to be taller”. At times, we all want to look a bit more like someone else. However, the pictures we see on TV and social media can give us wrong ideas about how our bodies “should” look. The truth is that everybody is different—and that’s a good thing. Accepting and feeling good about our bodies is really important for our self confidence. Body confidence is when someone accepts and behaves kindly towards their body. That includes our size and shape, skin color, appearance(外貌) and any physical disabilities. Jade Parnell from the Centre for Appearance Research (CAR), says that having body confidence is “about being accepting of your body and what it does for you”.
If you feel positively about your body, you are more likely to take care of it. Research has even shown that you are more likely to take part in activities and perform well in school. However feeling agitated about your body could make you step back, do less well at school and even feel down. Parnell says that the cost of trying to achieve the “perfect” appearance is high. She says, “If you’re spending a lot of time trying to look a certain way, you will have less time to spend with friends and to make important memories.”
It’s important to remember that everybody is different. To develop a positive body image, Parnell says, “Try to talk positively about your own body and other people’s bodies. Try not to pay too much attention to appearance. Instead, think about what your body does for you; do your legs make you run really fast ” She also suggests treating your body well by eating different kinds of foods, exercising to feel good and to have fun, and getting plenty of sleep. Remember that you are more than how you look.
52．The writer thinks that the pictures on TV and social media ________.
A．are perfect for people to follow B．may lead to wrong ideas of looks
C．mean everyone is different D．show people how to behave kindly
53．The underlined word “agitated” probably means “________”.
A．certain B．serious C．careless D．worried
54．Parnell will agree that you should ________.
A．accept your own body as it is B．try not to talk about others’ bodies
C．spend more money on your appearance D．remember what you used to be like
55．What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To encourage readers to take more exercise.
B．To remind readers not to eat too much food.
C．To lead readers to build up body confidence.
D．To advise readers to treat their friends well.

Space tour is not all about rockets—large space balloons can do it too! The company HALO Space in Spain completed the first test flight of its balloon in December, 2022. This means another company joined the competition of making space tour a reality.
During the test flight, the balloon reached an altitude of 37 kilometers where passengers would be able to look at the Earth from the blackness of space, according to Daily Mail. When the flights are available, the company aims to carry 3,000 passengers on 400 trips every year.
How does a space balloon work The balloon is usually filled with helium or hydrogen, which are both much lighter than air, and it flies up.
According to NASA, the balloon is filled with the amount of gas that will give it enough lift to get off the ground and rise. As it rises, the gas inside the balloon grows larger.
The balloon stops when the density of the gas inside and the air outside is about the same, it begins to fall down as gas goes out slowly.
So the whole trip is not intense. The Space Perspective in US says that the trips are about relaxation. The balloon rises slowly at 12 miles (about 18.3 kilometers) an hour, and it takes about two hours to get to the 37 km altitude. It also takes another two hours to go back to the land.
Since its successful test flight in June 2022, Space Perspective Company started selling tickets for spaceflights in 2024—and it has already sold out. The company now buys ships to turn them into “floating spaceports”, reported Daily Mail. By lifting the balloon from ships on the sea, there will be more chances to enjoy the tour, such as flights at sunrise and sunset.
56．The word “This” in Para. 1 refers to ________.
A．Spain made space tour a reality
B．the balloon reached an altitude of 37 km
C．HALO Space Company completed the test flight of its balloon
D．the company in space in Spain joined the competition of making space tour
57．How can a space balloon fly up into the sky
A．The gas inside the balloon is lighter than the air outside.
B．The balloon is usually filled with a little heavier gas.
C．The gas inside the balloons always grows smaller.
D．The density of the gas inside and the air outside is the same.
58．How long does a whole trip take
A．About two hours. B．About four hours.
C．About twelve hours. D．About eighteen hours.
59．What can we learn from the passage
A．Daily Mail plans to carry 3,000 passengers on a trip in the future.
B．The company buy ships to offer people more chances to enjoy the sea.
C．All tickets to travel in space in 2024 have been sold out.
D．Space Perspective thinks the tour by balloon is slow but relaxing.
（22-23八年级下·浙江杭州·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.
But is that really true Studies have found that money can, in fact, make people happier. But it’s not having money that brings happiness. However, it is giving money to others that makes people happy. It could be buying a present for a friend or family member. It could be buying a homeless person food to eat. 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 (数量)of money, people feel happier when they give. This is because making someone else happy makes the giver happy, too.
This idea of connecting (联系) your happiness to the happiness of others is described as 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 (甜食). Surprisingly,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. The children simply said they could only enjoy eating the treat if everyone had one. Clearly, those children understood that the key to happiness is making others happy.

There are many reasons to enjoy drinking tea. However, you should let the hot tea cool down a little before you drink it. Why A new study reported in the International Journal of Cancer gives the answer.
“Many people enjoy drinking tea, coffee or other hot drinks. However, according to our report, drinking very hot tea can increase the risk of esophageal cancer (食道癌), so you’d better wait until hot drinks cool down before drinking,” the lead writer of the study, Dr. Farhad Islami of the American Cancer Society, said.
For the study, Islami and his team followed more than 50, 000 people aged between 40 and 75 years old. They found 317 of those people had esophageal cancer. The National Cancer Institute reported that about 17, 290 Americans had esophageal cancer in a year, and that only about 19 percent of sick people survived. However, five years later, they died.
The scientists found that drinking 700 ml drinks (about three cups) every day or more at a higher temperature (60°C or hotter) would have a 90 percent higher risk of esophageal cancer, compared with people drinking the same cups at temperature below 60℃.
This is not the first report showing a person drinking very hot drinks has the risk of cancer. In 2022, the World Health Organization showed a report. It found that drinking very hot drinks of any kind could increase the risk of cancer.
73．Why does the writer advise people not to drink very hot drinks
A．Because they may cause serious disease. B．Because drinking hot drinks takes longer time.
C．Because people’s mouths may get hurt. D．Because they don’t taste good at all.
74．How does the writer show us the reason for not drinking very hot drinks
A．By telling us about his experience. B．By asking some questions.
C．By sharing some information online. D．By giving some information from reports.
75．What does the underlined word “survived” mean in Chinese
A．幸存 B．失败 C．遇难 D．受伤
76．Who may have a 90 percent higher risk of esophageal cancer
A．Jane—she usually drinks cold drinks after lunch.
B．Alan—he has a cup of hot coffee every morning.
C．Steve—he drinks 4 cups of very hot tea every day.
D．Mary—she usually drinks warm milk before sleeping.
77．What’s the main idea of the passage

（22-23八年级下·重庆江津·期中）June 6th is National Eye Care Day. It is a good chance for us to improve our eye health. What are common eye problems we have today How can we protect our eyes Read and find out the answer.
Eyes are important in our everyday life. We use them to read books, see colors and the beautiful things of the world. But sometimes, we use them too much and it hurts them.
In the past, nearsightedness (近视) was a common eye problem among children. This is mostly because of their bad eye habits, such as watching TV too long and reading books in bed.
However, today’s technology is changing the way we live. Children spend more time working and playing in front of computers, smartphones and iPads. It is reported that US children spend more than 42 hours a week in front of electronic screens (电子屏幕). This has caused a new problem for our eyes: digital (数字的) eyestrain (眼疲劳). People with digital eyestrain may get headaches, dry and red eyes, eye pain, watering and other eye problems.
But don’t worry. The following tips can help you protect your eyes. Try them out. Advice:
1) When you are watching electronic screens, keep them at least 30 cm from your eyes. Try not to use your smartphone in sunlight.
2) Blink (眨眼) more often when you are looking at the screen. This can help to stop dry eyes.
3) Remember to take a 20-20-20 break: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet (about 6 meters) away.
4) Spend less time in front of screens. One to two hours a day is OK for your eyes.
78．People get a good chance to care about their ________ on June 6th every year.

Every child in the world knows the puppet Pinocchio very well, but do you know who created it It was Gepetto. Gepetto, a woodcarver, created Pinocchio to mourn his son—a little boy who died in World War I.
The children’s novel The Adventures of Pinocchio was published in a magazine in 1881. And soon it became very famous. Later, a man called Guillermo del Toro made it into a film and the film won an Oscar.
In the film, Gepetto made the puppet Pinocchio after his son died. With some magic words, the puppet comes to life and then has a lot of adventures.
In the film, Pinocchio helps us to know how ugly the war is. People can see many innocent children who were hurt by the war. Even while they don’t know what wars mean, these children have to join the army and even kill. Their eyes were full of sadness. These children are the future of the world, but they are hurt badly because of the war. The film calls on people to pay more attention to children.
Different from many other Pinocchio adaptations for kids, Guillermo del Toro wanted to show the importance of courage when facing problems.
“I think there is a lesson, and it is valuable.” he told AP News. “Courage is not only necessary, but also very important.”
In recent years, there’s been an idea that cartoons are just for kids. But Guillermo del Toro didn’t think so.
“We are going to take the next step. We are all ready for it. Please pay more attention to cartoons.” Guillermo del Toro said to people at the Oscar.

Shylock held his knife and told Antonio to get ready. “Wait!” shouted Portia. “You will not do anything that is not written in the contract. Is that right, Shylock ”

Shylock didn’t want to give everything he owned to the duke. He decided not to take his pound of flesh. He said he would take the money.
“Give me ninety thousand dollars,” he said, “and I will have pity on Antonio and let him go.”
Bassanio was happy to give him the money. He was very pleased that his friend Antonio would not die.
“Wait!” Portia said again. “He does not want the money. It is not written in the contract.”
Shylock said he just wanted to have his money back and wouldn’t even need interest (利息). Bassanio was ready to give it to him, but again Portia stopped him.
“He said he wanted only the thing written in the contract.”
Shylock understood that he would not get his pound of flesh. He understood that he would not get his money. He decided to go home.
“Wait!” said Portia, for the third time. The law of Venice, says that if you plan to kill a citizen (公民) of Venice, you will lose everything that you own. Half of what you have will belong to the person you tried to kill, and the other half will belong to the duke.
—Taken from The Merchant of Venice

（22-23八年级下·江苏南通·期中）“I wish I had straight hair”; “I’d like to be taller”. At times, we all want to look a bit more like someone else. However, the pictures we see on TV and social media can give us wrong ideas about how our bodies “should” look. The truth is that everybody is different—and that’s a good thing. Accepting and feeling good about our bodies is really important for our self confidence. Body confidence is when someone accepts and behaves kindly towards their body. That includes our size and shape, skin color, appearance(外貌) and any physical disabilities. Jade Parnell from the Centre for Appearance Research (CAR), says that having body confidence is “about being accepting of your body and what it does for you”.
If you feel positively about your body, you are more likely to take care of it. Research has even shown that you are more likely to take part in activities and perform well in school. However feeling agitated about your body could make you step back, do less well at school and even feel down. Parnell says that the cost of trying to achieve the “perfect” appearance is high. She says, “If you’re spending a lot of time trying to look a certain way, you will have less time to spend with friends and to make important memories.”
It’s important to remember that everybody is different. To develop a positive body image, Parnell says, “Try to talk positively about your own body and other people’s bodies. Try not to pay too much attention to appearance. Instead, think about what your body does for you; do your legs make you run really fast ” She also suggests treating your body well by eating different kinds of foods, exercising to feel good and to have fun, and getting plenty of sleep. Remember that you are more than how you look.
52．The writer thinks that the pictures on TV and social media ________.
A．are perfect for people to follow B．may lead to wrong ideas of looks
C．mean everyone is different D．show people how to behave kindly
53．The underlined word “agitated” probably means “________”.
A．certain B．serious C．careless D．worried
54．Parnell will agree that you should ________.
A．accept your own body as it is B．try not to talk about others’ bodies
C．spend more money on your appearance D．remember what you used to be like
55．What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To encourage readers to take more exercise.
B．To remind readers not to eat too much food.
C．To lead readers to build up body confidence.
D．To advise readers to treat their friends well.
【答案】52．B 53．D 54．A 55．C

本文主要介绍了身体自信的重要性以及如何培养身体自信。
52．细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, the pictures we see on TV and social media can give us wrong ideas about how our bodies ‘should’ look.”可知，我们在电视和社交媒体上看到的照片可能会导致我们对自己的身体“应该”是什么样子产生错误的想法。故选B。
53．词义猜测题。根据“However feeling agitated about your body could make you step back, do less well at school and even feel down.”可知，如果对身体感到焦虑可能会让你退缩，在学校表现不佳，甚至感到沮丧。因此agitated可能是“担心的”意思，与worried意思相近。故选D。
54．细节理解题。根据“Jade Parnell from the Centre for Appearance Research (CAR), says that having body confidence is ‘about being accepting of your body and what it does for you’.”可知，来自外观研究中心的Jade Parnell表示，拥有身体自信是“接受你的身体及其对你的影响”。故选A。

Space tour is not all about rockets—large space balloons can do it too! The company HALO Space in Spain completed the first test flight of its balloon in December, 2022. This means another company joined the competition of making space tour a reality.
During the test flight, the balloon reached an altitude of 37 kilometers where passengers would be able to look at the Earth from the blackness of space, according to Daily Mail. When the flights are available, the company aims to carry 3,000 passengers on 400 trips every year.
How does a space balloon work The balloon is usually filled with helium or hydrogen, which are both much lighter than air, and it flies up.
According to NASA, the balloon is filled with the amount of gas that will give it enough lift to get off the ground and rise. As it rises, the gas inside the balloon grows larger.
The balloon stops when the density of the gas inside and the air outside is about the same, it begins to fall down as gas goes out slowly.
So the whole trip is not intense. The Space Perspective in US says that the trips are about relaxation. The balloon rises slowly at 12 miles (about 18.3 kilometers) an hour, and it takes about two hours to get to the 37 km altitude. It also takes another two hours to go back to the land.
Since its successful test flight in June 2022, Space Perspective Company started selling tickets for spaceflights in 2024—and it has already sold out. The company now buys ships to turn them into “floating spaceports”, reported Daily Mail. By lifting the balloon from ships on the sea, there will be more chances to enjoy the tour, such as flights at sunrise and sunset.
56．The word “This” in Para. 1 refers to ________.
A．Spain made space tour a reality
B．the balloon reached an altitude of 37 km
C．HALO Space Company completed the test flight of its balloon
D．the company in space in Spain joined the competition of making space tour
57．How can a space balloon fly up into the sky
A．The gas inside the balloon is lighter than the air outside.
B．The balloon is usually filled with a little heavier gas.
C．The gas inside the balloons always grows smaller.
D．The density of the gas inside and the air outside is the same.
58．How long does a whole trip take
A．About two hours. B．About four hours.
C．About twelve hours. D．About eighteen hours.
59．What can we learn from the passage
A．Daily Mail plans to carry 3,000 passengers on a trip in the future.
B．The company buy ships to offer people more chances to enjoy the sea.
C．All tickets to travel in space in 2024 have been sold out.
D．Space Perspective thinks the tour by balloon is slow but relaxing.

56．词义猜测题。根据“The company HALO Space in Spain completed the first test flight of its balloon in December, 2022. This means another company joined the competition of making space tour a reality.”可知，西班牙HALO Space公司于2022年12月完成了气球的首次试飞。这意味着又一家公司加入了让太空旅行成为现实的竞争。由此可知，This指代“完成了气球的首次试飞”这件事。故选C。
57．细节理解题。根据“How does a space balloon work The balloon is usually filled with helium or hydrogen, which are both much lighter than air, and it flies up.”可知，气球里充满氦气或氢气比空气轻得多，它就会飞起来。故选A。
58．推理判断题。根据“The balloon rises slowly at 12 miles (about 18.3 kilometers) an hour, and it takes about two hours to get to the 37 km altitude. It also takes another two hours to go back to the land.”可知，热气球以每小时12英里的速度缓慢上升，大约需要两个小时才能到达37公里的高度。返回陆地还需要两个小时。也就是说，整个旅程大概需要四个小时。故选B。
59．细节理解题。根据“So the whole trip is not intense. The Space Perspective in US says that the trips are about relaxation.”可知，他们觉得这个气球旅程并不紧张，是很放松的。故选D。

There are many reasons to enjoy drinking tea. However, you should let the hot tea cool down a little before you drink it. Why A new study reported in the International Journal of Cancer gives the answer.
“Many people enjoy drinking tea, coffee or other hot drinks. However, according to our report, drinking very hot tea can increase the risk of esophageal cancer (食道癌), so you’d better wait until hot drinks cool down before drinking,” the lead writer of the study, Dr. Farhad Islami of the American Cancer Society, said.
For the study, Islami and his team followed more than 50, 000 people aged between 40 and 75 years old. They found 317 of those people had esophageal cancer. The National Cancer Institute reported that about 17, 290 Americans had esophageal cancer in a year, and that only about 19 percent of sick people survived. However, five years later, they died.
The scientists found that drinking 700 ml drinks (about three cups) every day or more at a higher temperature (60°C or hotter) would have a 90 percent higher risk of esophageal cancer, compared with people drinking the same cups at temperature below 60℃.
This is not the first report showing a person drinking very hot drinks has the risk of cancer. In 2022, the World Health Organization showed a report. It found that drinking very hot drinks of any kind could increase the risk of cancer.
73．Why does the writer advise people not to drink very hot drinks
A．Because they may cause serious disease. B．Because drinking hot drinks takes longer time.
C．Because people’s mouths may get hurt. D．Because they don’t taste good at all.
74．How does the writer show us the reason for not drinking very hot drinks
A．By telling us about his experience. B．By asking some questions.
C．By sharing some information online. D．By giving some information from reports.
75．What does the underlined word “survived” mean in Chinese
A．幸存 B．失败 C．遇难 D．受伤
76．Who may have a 90 percent higher risk of esophageal cancer
A．Jane—she usually drinks cold drinks after lunch.
B．Alan—he has a cup of hot coffee every morning.
C．Steve—he drinks 4 cups of very hot tea every day.
D．Mary—she usually drinks warm milk before sleeping.
77．What’s the main idea of the passage
A．There are some ways to stay away from cancer. B．Very hot drinks have to do with cancer.
C．Drinks are bad for people’s health. D．People will study more about cancer.
【答案】73．A 74．D 75．A 76．C 77．B
【导语】本文主要讲述了长期喝热的饮料能导致食道癌。
73．细节理解题。根据“However, according to our report, drinking very hot tea can increase the risk of esophageal cancer (食道癌)”可知，作者建议人们不要喝很烫的饮品是因为它们可能会导致严重的疾病。故选A。
74．细节理解题。根据“For the study, Islami and his team followed more than 50, 000 people aged between 40 and 75 years old. They found 317 of those people had esophageal cancer.”可知，作者通过提供报告中的一些信息，向我们展示了不喝热饮的原因。故选D。
75．词句猜测题。根据“The National Cancer Institute reported that about17, 290 Americans had esophageal cancer in a year, and that only about 19 percent of sick people survived. However, five years later, they died.”可知，大约17290名美国人在一年内患上了食道癌症，只有约19%的病人存活下来，然而五年后他们去世了，由此可知划线部分survive意为“幸存”。故选A。
76．推理判断题。根据“The scientists found that drinking 700 ml drinks (about three cups) every day or more at a higher temperature (60°C or hotter) would have a 90 percent higher risk of esophageal cancer, compared with people drinking the same cups at temperature below 60℃.”可知，与在温度低于60℃时饮用同一杯饮料的人相比，每天在更高的温度下饮用700毫升 (大约3杯) 或更多的饮料，患食管癌症的风险要高出90%，故推出每天喝四杯非常热的茶，患食管癌症风险可能高出90%。故选C。
77．主旨大意题。根据“This is not the first report showing a person drinking very hot drinks has the risk of cancer. In 2022, the World Health Organization showed a report. It found that drinking very hot drinks of any kind could increase the risk of cancer.”及通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了非常热的饮料与癌症有关。故选B。
（22-23八年级下·重庆江津·期中）June 6th is National Eye Care Day. It is a good chance for us to improve our eye health. What are common eye problems we have today How can we protect our eyes Read and find out the answer.
Eyes are important in our everyday life. We use them to read books, see colors and the beautiful things of the world. But sometimes, we use them too much and it hurts them.
In the past, nearsightedness (近视) was a common eye problem among children. This is mostly because of their bad eye habits, such as watching TV too long and reading books in bed.
However, today’s technology is changing the way we live. Children spend more time working and playing in front of computers, smartphones and iPads. It is reported that US children spend more than 42 hours a week in front of electronic screens (电子屏幕). This has caused a new problem for our eyes: digital (数字的) eyestrain (眼疲劳). People with digital eyestrain may get headaches, dry and red eyes, eye pain, watering and other eye problems.
But don’t worry. The following tips can help you protect your eyes. Try them out. Advice:
1) When you are watching electronic screens, keep them at least 30 cm from your eyes. Try not to use your smartphone in sunlight.
2) Blink (眨眼) more often when you are looking at the screen. This can help to stop dry eyes.
3) Remember to take a 20-20-20 break: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet (about 6 meters) away.
4) Spend less time in front of screens. One to two hours a day is OK for your eyes.
