（24-25八年级下·山东烟台·期中）The sun is slow to appear when Russia’s spring starts in March. There
is still snow and the weather is cold. It doesn’t get warm until May 1st. Although it is known as Labor Day around
the world, May 1st is also called Spring Day in Russia. If you visit in March and April, you can expect lower hotel
prices and the chance to enjoy events like Women’s Day. But May offers clearer skies and streets with fewer
people, making it one of the best times to explore Russia.
Summer lasts from June to August and attracts the most tourists due to the warm weather. The beautiful
gardens come to life and there are lots of cultural festivals held in the season. In Moscow,temperatures often rise
into the 30°C． Sometimes it can be chilly (阴冷的) because of the sudden rain.During these months, you can
follow the Russians who travel south to enjoy the beautiful Black Sea and Altai Mountains.
Autumn is a short but beautiful season. After a grey (阴沉的) end to August, the sun often shines
throughout September and even into October. This lovely weather is called Indian summer. The forests turn into
beautiful colors, making the whole country look amazing. The warm weather is also good for outdoor activities.
Also, if you want to enjoy famous ballet (芭蕾舞) performances, this is a good time to visit.
Winter in Russia is not as cold as you might think. Outside of Siberia or the Arctic Circle, temperatures
usually stay around -7°C in January, the coldest month. The beautiful snow is perfect for all kinds of winter sports.

（24-25八年级下·江苏无锡·期中）Troubled by visitors who only come in to check out the design and
decoration, the owners of Queviures Murria, a grocery store in Barcelona, Spain, have put up a sign announcing a
5-euro fee for coming in just to look.
Queviures Murria has been in business since 1898 and is one of the most eye-catching places of interest in
all of Barcelona. The old look of the store and the traditional design of the inside attract (吸引) hundreds of

kinds of traditional Spanish cured sausages, cold cuts, cured cheeses, oils, wines and so on. According to the store,
many visitors enter the store without even saying a simple “hello”, look around taking pictures, and then simply
leave without buying anything. So it decided to charge (收费) people for “just looking” just to stop them.
Toni Merino, one of the managers at Queviures Murria, said that the idea to charge visitors a fee for simply
coming into the grocery store and looking around without buying anything started out as a joke, but as day by day
the workers and the real shoppers became inconvenienced (不方便) by too many visitors looking around, taking
pictures, with surely no interest in the things sold there, they decided it.
Merino said he has no interest in actually charging the fee, and they don’t really have to any more. By
posting a photo about the 5-euro fee in the shop window, they have stopped most unwanted visitors.
After photos of the 5-euro fee announcement in the window of Queviures Murria become well-known on
social media, the store faced a problem and had to explain the reasons and clarify (澄清) that it didn’t really plan
on carrying on the measure (措施).

（24-25八年级下·河北石家庄·期中）Do you like to travel alone? Or do you think it’s better to travel
with friends? If you’re still deciding, please read on. I will explain the advantages of both ways.
One of the great things about traveling alone is that you make the rules about where you go and what you
eat. You’ll be surprised at what you discover about yourself without any influence.
Traveling alone really shows you what you’re made of and helps you to discover inner strength (内心的力
量) you didn’t know you had. Besides, it also gives you time to think, learn and grow. When your eyes are wide
open, you’ll get a whole new outlook on the world
It’s easy to think that traveling alone is lonely. Although that may sometimes be true, you’re hardly ever
alone. When you travel in a one-person team, this can provide a chance for you to enjoy the most interesting part
of travel--communicating with the locals and meeting travelers from all comers of the world.
In fact, traveling to know more about the world is not easy. There’s research to be done. flights to be
booked and choices to be made, not to mention that things can--and often do--go wrong. One of the main
advantages of traveling with friends is being able to share these things and support each other through the process,
even if it’s just someone who will wait with your bag when you go to the bathroom.
Just as your mother always says, it s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety, especially
if you’re new to travel. You know that if you get lost or have your wallet stolen, there’s someone to hold your
hand when you try to explain your situation in a foreign police station.
There’s no right or wrong way to travel. Whether you travel alone or team up with friends, it depends on
you.
1．How does the writer introduce the topic of the passage in Paragraph 1?
A．By telling a story. B．By giving examples.
C．By asking questions. D．By describing a scene.
2．Traveling with friends has the following advantages EXCEPT________.A．sharing a lot of things B．discovering inner strength
