Instead of boring grammar worksheets (活页练习册), Class 8 students got an exciting task. The task asked them to plan a one-day trip to the City Museum and make a simple English guidebook. Their teacher Mr. Smith called it a “Project-Based Learning” (PBL) challenge. He said it would help them use English in real life.
At first, the students were worried. “How do we start ” asked Chen Yu, who was a quiet student. Mr. Smith smiled, “Work together and find the way yourselves.”
The teacher divided (分配) the class into three groups. The research group looked for information about the art show on the website (网站). The design group drew simple pictures to make the guidebook nice. The language group wrote clear introductions for foreign visitors and checked the English many times.
They had some small problems and argued with each other at first. With Mr. Smith’s help, they learned to talk nicely and make peace finally. When they showed their guidebooks to the museum director, Mr. Li, he was surprised. “These are better than our official (官方的) ones!” he said.
On the trip day, the students confidently introduced the museum to the visitors in English and won a lot of likes. “I used to think English was just words in a book,” Chen Yu said with a smile. “Now I know it’s a useful tool that can help us connect with the world.”

Do you want to see the Dead Sea It is one of the most amazing places on earth. But why is it called the Dead Sea Can anything live in it Can people swim there Let’s find out!
The Dead Sea is not really a sea — it’s a lake with a salt concentration (含盐度) of more than 30% in the Middle East. It sits at about 430 metres below sea level, making it the lowest point on land.
The Dead Sea stays so salty because of its special natural conditions. It is surrounded (环绕) by hot and dry desert. Each year, it receives very little rainfall, and only a little fresh water flows (流入) into it. And the hot weather around the Dead Sea causes the fresh water to evaporate quickly, which makes the salt concentration even higher. For these reasons, it is also known as the Salt Sea.
Because it’s so salty, fish and other animals can’t live there. Only a few bacteria (细菌) can. The salt also forms crystals (晶体) on the shore, making it hard for animals to come close.
The Dead Sea is so salty. Why do people go there Actually, it is really safe for people. Even if you fall into it and can’t swim, you won’t die. The salt in the water makes it easier for people to float, without the need for life jackets. So many people visit the Dead Sea every year. If you walk along the shore, you’ll probably see many people floating in the water, reading books or magazines.
Want to know more about the Dead Sea Just explore it yourself!
26. How does the writer start the passage
A．By telling a story. B．By giving examples.
C．By asking questions. D．By making a survey.
27. What can you learn about the Dead Sea from the passage
A．It’s 30 kilometers wide. B．It’s far from the desert.
C．It’s near the Middle East. D．It’s the lowest place on land.
28. What does the underlined word “evaporate” probably mean in Paragraph 3
A．Remain. B．Disappear. C．Pour. D．Drop.
29. What’s the correct structure of the passage
30. What is the best title for the passage
A．How to Swim in the Dead Sea B．Why the Dead Sea Is Hot
C．The Ocean in the Middle East D．The Dead Sea: A Salty Lake

四、任务型阅读（共5空）
阅读短文，用英文填空或回答问题。（注意每小题的词数要求）
Chinese restaurants are different from Western restaurants in a few ways. Consider how Westerners go about eating at restaurants. Everyone always gets their own menu and orders their own food. And, since the tables are usually small, it is quite difficult to talk to or even see more than a few people during the meal.
But in China, the traditional restaurant experience is quite different from that in the West. Usually, everyone sits at big round tables where it is easy to see and talk with each other, even if it is a large group. One person considers the likes and dislikes of the other people in the group and orders the food. When the food comes, all of it is put in the middle of the table. Everyone then serves themselves by taking some food and putting it on their own plates.
Just as in the West, people can choose what they want to eat. However, while in the West, importance is placed on the individual (个人的) and personal preferences (偏爱), in China importance is placed on sharing and community. Everyone still gets what they want, but it is a shared experience.
Finally, since people usually sit at a round table in China, everyone is treated the same. No one is more important than anyone else. But people still show respect to older people — they usually sit at the far end of the room facing the door.
46. The passage mainly talks about ________ (不超过10词)
47. Fill in the blanks according to the passage.
In China In the 47 (仅填1词)
Seating Big round tables let everyone talk easily, even in large groups. 48 (不超过2词) sit at the end of the room facing the door. Small tables make it difficult to talk with more than a few people.
Ordering Usually one person orders the dishes. Everyone orders their own food.
Dining Everyone serves themselves. Everyone eats what they order.
Cultural values The importance of eating at restaurants is placed on 49 (不超过3词). Personal choices and preferences matter most.

Hi Jason,
My favorite free-time activity is reading. I started reading storybooks when I was seven years old. I usually read for half an hour every evening after finishing my homework.
I like reading because it opens up a new world for me. It helps me know more things and improves my vocabulary. It also makes me relaxed after a busy school day. I think it is a great and meaningful hobby.
