In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world. They’re not really bad guests, but because the guest-host relationship***關係*** in China is much different than in some western countries. It seems that they are not nice guests. And western guests sometimes look rude in the eyes of Chinese guests.
In China, guests are almost like gods***上帝***. Whenever I enter a Chinese person’s home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to***根據*** the host’s way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.
My wife’s mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesn’t smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly***直接地***, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North America homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least, you could ask, “Is it OK if I smoke?” But don’t besurprised if the hosts say, “No, you can’t smoke.” In our culture, if you smoke in their home, you are a bad guest, but if they don’t allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude host.
Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your home, don’t be too surprised if they don’t bring you a gift.
In China, you probably won't need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.
*** ***61. Many foreigners think that Chinese hosts are the _________in the world.
A. best B. worst C. most natural D. most difficult
*** ***62. When a western guest visits a Chinese family, he often _________.
A. buys some fruit B. feels like a god C. wants some gifts D. takes a cup of tea
*** ***63. If the writer’s guests want to smoke in his house, what will he probably say?
A. It’s OK if you smoke here. B. Let’s smoke together.
C. Sorry, you can’t smoke here. D. Smoking is a bad habit.
*** ***64. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “adapt to” in the passage?
A. think back to B. get used to C. look forward to D. keep close to
*** ***65. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Foreigners should learn from Chinese. B. Hosts must do things in the guest’s way.
C. Western hosts are always nice to guests. D. People should understand cultural differences.
C
What will the house of the future look like? Could it have gardens on its walls，or a pool with fish for dinner? Architects ***建築師*** believe that they are all possibilities. The only thing for sure is that the houses will be as green as possible.
The tree house
Many architects in the world would like to build a “tree house”. Like a leaf，the surface***表面*** of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity, and even create fresh air for the home. The “root” ***根*** of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil ***土壤*** to keep the home’s temperature.
The lizard house
Like a lizard ***蜥蜴***, changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During dark days,it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy.
Meals at home
This design is perhaps as much about the future of food production as architecture ***建築風格***. It has gardens on the outside wall of the house. People can plant tomatoes, carrots and green tea on them. So every day in the morning, you just need to walk outside and collect your meals.
Learning from the past
Looking to the future isn’t the only way to be green. Sometimes, ancient techniques ***古老的技術*** can also help cut down energy use. For example, a chimney ***煙囪*** can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to flow out at the chimney.
*** *** 66. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Green Houses of the Future B. Different kinds of houses
C. The Greener, the Better D. How to Build Green Houses
*** *** 67. We can heat water，produce electricity or create fresh air for the home .
A. with the root of a leaf B. with the energy from sunlight
C. with the soil under the ground D. with the tree built at home
*** *** 68. What will happen to the cover of the lizard house when it’s in the bright sun?
A. It will turn white. B. It will produce energy.
C. It will produce light. D. It will turn dark.
*** *** 69. The passage seems to tell us that meals at home in the future .
A. will be more delicious B. need more cooks
C. will be greener D. will be easy to cook
*** *** 70. A chimney can be a useful air-conditioner but it used to cause .
A. pollution B. accidents C. noise D. change

五、閱讀表達 閱讀下面的短文，根據短文內容回答問題。***10分***
In the past, people used words to express their ideas and feelings. Now people have a new way to share their life with their friends on WeChat Moments ***微信朋友圈***.
To make WeChat Moments, people can use pictures, sounds, videos and their words to express what they want to say. Some people don’t write anything. They share what they are eating, drinking, listening to, buying and fun time by sharing pictures.
Someone says that WeChat Moments are like personal TV stations. People don’t have to spend money putting them on the Internet, so it is easy for people to make them and watch them on their phones. Only friends on the users’ list can watch your WeChat Moments. WeChat businessmen even put the advertisements of their products***產品*** on the WeChat Moments for their friends to choose and buy. WeChat Moments are becoming more popular among people. When we post***發表*** something on it, we must be sure that the information should be healthy for people to read and watch.

We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you about how to live a green life.
Remember these three words; reduce, reuse and recycle.
Reduce means “use less”. Don't waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.
Reuse mean “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, or we should repair them if we can. Don't use paper cups or paper bags. It's better to use a china cup***瓷杯*** and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle means “change things into something else”. Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighborhood and take part in recycling projects. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.
Title: 76 to Live a Green Life
We produce waste every day and it is 77 to the environment. We can do something to help.
Ideas Do Don’t
To 78 ●Use less
●Try to save something ●Don’t buy too many things from foreign 79 .
To reuse ●Use 80 .
●Use things for as long as possible.
●Buy things that last long.

To recycle ●Change things into something 83 .
●Join in recycling projects.
● 84 products made from recycled materials. ●Don’t 85 things away or burn them.

Dear Paul,
Hello, everyone. I’m David from Class 1, Grade 8. Back to the life in the last year, I think I have changed a lot and made great progress in many ways.
First, In the past I seldom read books. I used to spend most of my time playing computers games. Now I find it interesting to do some reading because good books help me relax after a busy day. They also open up a whole new world to me.
Second, I always forgot to turn off the tap and the power when they were not in use. Sometimes I left the tap running after I washed my hands. I always dropped litter carelessly in the park. But now I have realized the importance of protecting the environment. I always throw the litter into the rubbish bins.
Third, I was impolite before. I sometimes shouted loudly or pushed in before others in public places. Now, I can behave politely in public and I often give my seat to someone in need on the bus.
Fourth, I cared little about others. But now I offer to help my blind neighbors and donate all my pocket money to Project Hope.
I’m sure I will do better and better in Grade 9.
Thanks for listening!

In films, spies***間諜*** are lucky people. They are smart and adventurous. But a real spy’s life is not that exciting. They must live a life of lies. Their work is dangerous and they may have to pay for it with their lives. American spy Nathan Hale ***1755-1776*** was one of these people.
Why does someone want to be a spy? Some do it for their country. Some for money. Some just love it. Nathan Hale became a spy for the first reason. He lived during the American Revolution ***革命***. He and his people fought the British army.
In 1774, Hale joined the American army. Before that, he was a schoolteacher. Two years later, he chose to be a spy. He had to get information from the British army. He went to the city where the British army was staying. He told them that he was a schoolteacher and wanted to find a new job. He tried to get information for the American army. Hale finally got something important and decided to go back. He hid some papers in his boots. He went to the riverbank and waited for a boat to pick him up. However, British soldiers caught Hale at the riverbank and found the papers in his boots. It turned out***原來是*** that as a young spy, Hale didn’t have enough experience. He had told his secret to somebody else before. But that person sold him out to the British army. Hale died on Sept 22, 1776. His final words were: “It’s a pity that I have but one life to lose for my country.” He died at the age of 21.
51. Why did Nathan Hale become a spy?
A. For fun. B. For money. C. For himself. D. For his country.
52. What does the underlined word “adventurous” in Paragraph 1mean?
A. 愛撒謊的 B. 愛冒險的 C. 愛衝動的 D. 愛幻想的

A. Nathan Hale was a spy for the British army.
B. Nathan Hale joined the army at the age of 19 years old.
C. Nathan Hale worked as a teacher for 2 years.
D. Nathan Hale had rich experience as a spy.
54. What was the correct order in which these events happened?

②Hale got information for the American army
③British soldiers caught Hale
④Hale became a schoolteacher
⑤Hale told his secret to somebody else
A. ①④②③⑤ B. ①④②⑤③ C. ④①⑤②③ D.④①②③⑤

Recent years have witnessed***見證*** the returning of shared bikes across China. Now more and more people choose cycling instead of driving to school, to workplaces or to do sightseeing. Bike-sharing plans are warmly welcomed in many cities. Mobike has 5.85 million active users while Ofo has 1.4 million users this year.
People can unlock***解鎖*** the shared bikes by simply using their smartphones. All bikes have GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They are popular among many Chinese people because they help solve “last-mile” problems in cities. For example, many people find it difficult to get to the hotel when they get off trainers or to travel around the city.
However, the plans have also led to problems such as illegal***非法的*** parking, vandalism***故意毀壞*** and theft***偷竊***. In February this year, two nurses in Beijing were placed under administrative detention***行政拘留*** for five days for putting person locks on two shared bikes.
In fact, these problems are also shared by bike-sharing plans abroad. Started in 2007, Velib is the largest public bike sharing company in Paries. At its early period, it also met with problems of vandalism and theft. To solve the problem, the company came up with the idea of encouraging***鼓勵*** people to return the bikes to stations by providing free time for their next rides.
Now, Chinese bike-shared companies are also trying to solve these problems. For example, Mobike sets a 100-point credit score***信用分數*** for each user, but the points will be taken because of his or her bad behaviour. Once a score drops below 80, bike rental***租金*** will be increased***增加*** from 1 yuan to 100 yuan per 30 minutes.
Answer the following questions with No More Than 8 Words.
56. How many people are using shared bikes in China this year?
57. How do people unlock the shared bikes?
58. Why are the shared bikes popular in cities?
59. What will people get if they return Velib bikes to stations?
60. When wiil bike rental be increased according to Mobike?
六、任務型閱讀***10分***
閱讀下面短文，並根據所讀內容，在空格里填入一個最適當的詞。
We often see top students around us and everyone knows about them. Let us take Jenny as an example. She is the monitor of our class. She spends a lot of time working for our class. But she always gets good grades in all subjects. How do students like Jenny do that? When I asked her, she said, “Hard work is not the whole story. It’s not how long you sit at the desk with your books open. It’s what you do as you are sitting.” In fact, we can see many top students spend fewer hours on their studies than their classmates. Jenny gave me some valuable suggestions.
If your math teacher gives you five exercises, you should do six. If your Chinese teacher gives eight pages of reading, you should read nine. The more you practice, the more you learn.
Studying is a matter of your personal interest, so choose the way you are most comfortable with. Some people like working at night when the house is quiet, while others like doing their work early in the morning. However, others like studying as soon asthey arrive home from school while the work is fresh in their minds. No matter***無論*** which way suits you, try to do your best.
Studying is your business and the business comes before entertainment***娛樂***. When you are studying, phone calls should go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks given up. Studying is the only thing in your mind. Nothing can pull your attention away from what you are studying.
Studying is like eating. You should eat a little at a time. You can plan what to do today, but don’t do too much. When you can’t finish the work you planned to do, you will feel stressed and may lose confidence. On the other hand, you will not study well without a good plan. It all depends on how you manage your time.
The students who hand in a clearly written paper are already half way to get an A. Tidy papers are likely to get higher marks than messy***亂糟糟的*** ones. When you write clearly and do your work carefully, the thoughts in your mind are clear. You are able to make fewer mistakes.
61 on making your studies better
Passage outline Supporting details
Do more than you are asked Do more than what your teacher asks you to because 62 makes you learn more.
Choose suitable ways Some people like working on a 63 night, while others like doing their work early in the morning. Some people like studying their lessons shortly after 64 home from school.
Put studying 65 entertainment Pay 66 to what you are studying.

Failing to finish your planned task will make you feel stressed and become less 67 .

This special day is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar ***陰曆***. It stands for the start of spring and farming. This year, the day fell on March 10.

In films, spies***間諜*** are lucky people. They are smart and adventurous. But a real spy’s life is not that exciting. They must live a life of lies. Their work is dangerous and they may have to pay for it with their lives. American spy Nathan Hale ***1755-1776*** was one of these people.
Why does someone want to be a spy? Some do it for their country. Some for money. Some just love it. Nathan Hale became a spy for the first reason. He lived during the American Revolution ***革命***. He and his people fought the British army.
In 1774, Hale joined the American army. Before that, he was a school teacher. Two years later, he chose to be a spy. He had to get information from the British army. He went to the city where the British army was staying. He told them that he was a school teacher and wanted to find a new job. As a young spy, Hale didn’t have enough experience. He had told his secret to somebody else. But that person sold him out to the British army. He tried to get information for the American army. Hale finally got something important and decided to go back. He hid some papers in his boots. He went to the river bank and waited for a boat to pick him up. However, British soldiers caught Hale at the river bank and found the papers in his boots.
Hale died on Sept 22, 1776. His final words were: “I only regret***後悔*** I have but one life to lose for my country.” He died at the age of 21.
61. Why did Nathan Hale become a spy?
A. For fun. B. For money. C. For himself. D. For his country.
62. What does the underlined word “adventurous” in Paragraph 1mean?
A. 愛撒謊的 B. 愛冒險的 C. 愛衝動的 D. 愛幻想的
63. According to the article, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Nathan Hale was a spy for the British army.
B. Nathan Hale joined the army at the age of 19 years old.
C. Nathan Hale worked as a teacher for 2 years.
D. Nathan Hale had rich experience as a spy.
64. What was the correct order in which these events happened?
①Hale joined the American army.
②Hale got information for the American army.
③British soldiers caught Hale.
④Hale became a school teacher.
⑤Hale told his secret to somebody else.
A. ①④②③⑤ B. ①④②⑤③ C. ④①⑤②③ D. ④①②③⑤
65. What do Nathan Hale’s final words mean?

When you cough or sneeze, you’d better turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. And then, you should say, “Excuse me.”
This seems so simple, but it is surprising how many kids have never been told to do this. Actually, I notice adults all the time who cough and sneeze in public without placing a hand over the mouth. One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hands, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. If not, they will be passing those germs ***細菌*** along to everything and everyone they touch.
If you come to a door and someone is following you, hold the door. If the door opens by pulling, pull it open, stand to the side, and allow the other person to pass through first, then you can walk through. If the door opens by pushing, hold the door after you pass through.
After a few weeks of seeing kids try to get through doors in the school and watching them enter restaurants as the door hit other people, I knew I had to discuss the problem with my students. Teaching them small acts of kindness, such as letting someone else go through a door first as they hold it open, may seem unimportant, but it can go along way toward helping students realize how to be polite and thank others. Once they’ve been told, they’re halfway there.
When we have to go up moving stairs, we will stand to the right. That will give others who are in a hurry a choice of walking up the left-hand side of the moving stairs. When we are going to enter a lift, the underground, or a doorway, we will wait for others to exit before we enter.
After college when I moved to London, I was surprised at how polite everyone was in the subways. I was even more touched when I traveled to Japan. In both places, people made efforts to make way for others. On moving stairs, everyone stood to the right and walked to the left. On lifts, everyone would stand over to the side and allow others to exit before they would begin to enter.
66. When you cough or sneeze, you should ________.
A. touch everything B. cover your mouth
C. point out to the kids D. pass the germs to others
67. If you come to a door and someone is following you, you’d better _______.
A. hold the door B. pass through C. close the door D. stand to the side
68. Why should we stand to the right of moving stairs?
A. Because it’s dangerous to stand to the left.
B. Because it’s a traffic rule which we must follow.
C. Because we must wait for others to move first.
D. Because we should make way for people in a hurry.
69. From the passage we can know the writer is a ________.
A. doctor B. traveler C. parent D. teacher
70. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. the rules of acts in public B. the ways of communication
C. the problems of meeting people D. the knowledge of social life

Hello, everyone. I’m Simon. Back to the life in the last year, I think I have changed a lot and made great progress***進步*** in some ways.
First, I spent most of my free time listening to music, watching TV and playing computer games. Luckily, with my teacher’s help, I have realized that it’s meaningless to do so. And now I try to spend my free time reading and doing exercise.
Second, I was an impolite boy before. I often dropped litter everywhere and shouted loudly in the public place. Now, I can behave politely. I always try to go green and I am praised by my teacher and parents.
Third , I cared little about others in the past. I always spent my pocket money on things like snacks, CDs and so on. But now I donate my pocket money to Project Hope because I have learnt that children in poor areas can’t afford to go to school. I want to give them a helping hand.
I’m sure I can be better and better in Grade 9.
Thanks for your listening!
