（23-24八年级上·江苏苏州·期中）It’s easy for people to catch a cold in the springtime or fall. It makes
us wonder: If scientists can send a man to the moon, why can’t they find a cure (治愈) for the common cold? The
answer is that there are actually different cold viruses (病毒) out there, and you never know which one you will
get, so there isn’t a cure for each one.
When a virus attacks (袭击) your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose
and causes a block in it. You feel terrible because you can’t breathe well, but your body is actually eating the
virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a
runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells. You may feel very uncomfortable, but actually your
wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.
Different people do different things to deal with colds. In the United States and some other countries, for
example, people might have ice cubes to help get their temperature lower. Some people take hot baths and drink
warm liquids. Other people take medicine to stop different symptoms of colds. There is one interesting thing to
note (注意) —— some scientists say taking medicine when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus
stays in your body longer because your body doesn’t have a way to fight it and kill it. Bodies can do an amazing
job on their own. There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this:
It takes about one week to get over a cold if you don’t take medicine, but it takes seven days to get over a
cold if you take medicine.
1．When is it easy for many people to catch a cold?
2．How might Americans deal with colds?
3．When you have a cold, what do you usually do? And why?【答案】1．In the springtime or fall. 2．They might have ice cubes to help get their temperature lower.
Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids. 3．I usually drink hot water, rest and keep warm. The
reason is that drinking hot water can relieve sore throat and stuffy nose, rest can help the body recover by itself,
and keeping warm can prevent the body from getting cold further due to the cold.
【导语】文章主要讨论了人们为何容易在春季和秋季感冒，以及身体如何自我抵抗感冒病毒。同时，还
介绍了不同人应对感冒的不同方法，并提到了一些科学家对于感冒时是否应服药的不同观点。最后，通
过一个笑话来强调身体自我恢复的能力。
1．根据第一段首句“It’s easy for people to catch a cold in the springtime or fall.”可知，很多人在春季或秋季
容易感冒。故填In the springtime or fall.
2．根据第三段“In the United States...drink warm liquids.”提到在美国和其他一些国家，人们可能会吃冰块
来帮助降低体温，或者洗热水澡和喝热饮。故填They might have ice cubes to help get their temperature
lower. Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids.
3．这是一个开放性问题，答案因人而异。但可以根据文章内容和常识来回答。例如“I usually
drink hot water, rest and keep warm. The reason is that drinking hot water can relieve sore throat and
stuffy nose, rest can help the body recover by itself, and keeping warm can prevent the body from
getting cold further due to the cold.”，具体做法可能因个人情况和习惯而有所不同。

（23-24八年级下·河北石家庄·期中）We usually go to see a doctor when we are ill. Doctors may give us
some medicine, and the medicine often makes us feel better.
But sometimes the doctor’s medicine doesn’t work. This happened to one man, Thomas Smith. He was ill
in hospital, but he wasn’t getting well. Then he found a new “doctor” inside himself. He saw funny films. He readfunny books. And something wonderful happened. Laughing took away his pain after half a year. He could have a
good night’s rest. His own happy feeling helped him get well again. He wrote his story in his book. He said
laughing was very useful. It was the best “medicine”.
Another man, Simon Beck, was also ill, and he had a serious pain in his back. The doctor couldn’t stop it,
so the man began to “picture” his pain. In his head he “drew” a picture of a dog. He imagined it to be a real dog.
And it was hurting him. Then the man talked softly to the dog. He put his hand on the dog’s head and made
friends with it. One year later, his pain went away!

（22-23八年级下·江苏·期中）The Bird Mask
Today, doctors know a lot about how to stop germs(病菌) from spreading. They suggest people cover their
mouths when they cough. Washing your hands often also helps.
However, people haven’t always known about germs. For many years, even doctors didn’t really understand
how illnesses spread. They did many things to avoid getting sick. Some doctors even tried dressing like birds.
In 1619, the French doctor, Charles, de Lorme, invented a special uniform. He hoped it could protect doctors
who were treating plague(瘟疫) patients. The uniform had a long coat, gloves, boots(靴子) and a hat.
The doctors also carried sticks so they wouldn’t have to touch the patients. The most special part of the
uniform was the mask(面具).
The mask made the doctors look like birds. It had a beak(鸟嘴) that was about 15cm long. There were also
two eye holes cowered in glass and two nostril(鼻孔) holes.
At that time, doctors believed the plague was spread by bad air. Any air that had a bad smell was dangerous.
So the doctors put flowers in the beak of their masks. They believed this could stop them from breathing the bad
air and they wouldn’t get sick because of the plague.Did it work? Well, not really. Certainly the germs sometimes traveled through the air, and the flowers weren’t
able to stop them. Many doctors still got sick by breathing through the nostril holes in their masks.
Some forms of plague only spread through certain animals such as mice. The doctors’ uniform helped to
protect them from this danger. However, largely the coat, gloves, boots and hat did the job, not the bird mask.
根据短文内容， 回答下列问题
1．What can people do to stop germs from spreading?
2．What was the special uniform invented by Charles de Lorme like?
3．How did the doctors avoid touching the patients?
4．Why did the doctors put flowers in the beak of their masks?
5．Did the bird mask do the job to help protect doctors from some forms of plague?
【答案】1．They can cover their mouths when they cough and wash their hands often. 2．It had a long
coat, gloves, boots and a hat. 3．By carrying sticks./They carried sticks. 4．Because they believed the
plague was spread by bad air. Any air that had a bad smell was dangerous. 5．No, it didn’t.
【导语】本文主要介绍了在过去，包括医生在内的人都不知道病菌是如何传播的。于是在1619年，有医
生发明了鸟形的面罩来阻止病菌传播。事实上，由某些动物传播的瘟疫并不是依靠面罩，而是依靠包裹
医生全身的外套、手套、靴子和帽子来阻止的。
1．根据“They suggest people cover their mouths when they cough. Washing your hands often also helps”可知，
咳嗽时捂住嘴巴，勤洗手，这些方法都可以让人们阻止细菌的传播，故填They can cover their mouths
when they cough and wash their hands often.
2．根据“The uniform had a long coat, gloves, boots(靴子) and a hat.”可知，有长外套、手套、靴子和帽子，
故填It had a long coat, gloves, boots and a hat.
3．根据“The doctors also carried sticks so they wouldn’t have to touch the patients.”可知，医生们还带着棍子，
这样他们就不用碰病人了，故填By carrying sticks./They carried sticks.
4．根据“At that time, doctors believed the plague was spread by bad air. Any air that had a bad smell was
dangerous. So the doctors put flowers in the beak of their masks”可知，因为他们相信瘟疫是由恶劣的空气传
播的。任何有异味的空气都是危险的，故填Because they believed the plague was spread by bad air. Any airthat had a bad smell was dangerous.
5．根据“Did it work? Well, not really”可知，这种方法并没有奏效，故填No, it didn’t.
（23-24八年级下·陕西·期末）
TCM wins the hearts of young people for its usefulness.
Jin Ying, 25, is a lover of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). She took
part in a three-month training course on acupuncture and tuina (针灸推拿) in the
winter of 2023 at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine.
Jin’s life has been different since the training. She changed her life habits after learning the Five Elements
theory (五行学说). For example, she avoided sweating too much during exercise in winter because the cold of
winter means people should slow down, according to TCM. For her, learning these skills and theories was not
about becoming a TCM doctor but about accepting a new lifestyle.
She is not an unusual example of young people becoming interested in TCM. A survey by China Youth
Daily showed that 93.3 percent of the 1,000 young people who took part had tried different TCM treatments.
“I have seen more and more young people come to me for neck and back pains, which are usually related to
the elderly,” said Ma Huifang, a TCM doctor at Guoyitang, a TCM hospital.
Between Western medicine and TCM, young people often choose TCM “because of its usefulness,”
according to Ma. Some people question why TCM treats the same illnesses with different prescriptions (处方).
“This is actually an advantage of TCM, rather than a shortcoming, as it can be a more exact treatment for different
patients,” Ma explained.
Younger age groups are welcoming TCM, and, at the same time, TCM is also influencing, young people.
As Jin mentioned, “It helps young people understand Chinese medicine and culture.”
根据短文内容，回答下列问题。
1．When did Jin take part in a three-month training course on acupuncture and tuina?
2．How did Jin change her life habits after learning the Five Elements theory?
3．Does Jin want to become a TCM doctor or to accept a new lifestyle according to the story?
4．Why does TCM treat the same illness with different prescriptions?
5．What does TCM help young people understand?【答案】1．In the winter of 2023. 2．By avoiding sweating too much during exercise in winter./She
avoided sweating too much during exercise in winter. 3．To accept a new lifestyle. 4．Because it can be
a more exact treatment for different patients. 5． (It helps young people understand) Chinese medicine and
culture.
【导语】本文主要介绍了中医越来越受年轻群体的欢迎以及中医的神奇疗效。
