One cold autumn morning 11-year-old Mia moved into a small apartment in Beijing. Feeling lonely in the busy city, she sat by her window, watching people bike through hutongs. Suddenly, a bright red paper butterfly flew into her room. Mia looked out—a boy with round glasses was saying “hello” from the window next door.
“I’m Li Hao”, he called, holding up a paper bird. “Welcome to the neighborhood,” Mia felt shy but excited, folded a paper flower and threw it back. Li Hao caught it with a cheer. From that day, their windows became a place for paper art—dancing dragons, jumping pandas, and even a small Great Wall.
One weekend, Li Hao didn’t appear. Mia waited until it got dark. The next day, a paper rocket shot into her room with a note: “I had a fever. Grandma says no going out. Let’s make something AMAZING online,” Mia smiled. She video-called him, holding up a piece of blue paper—“Let’s create Beijing in four seasons”.
For two weeks, they worked like magic. Li Hao folded golden autumn leaves and icy winter towers. Mia made flowers for spring and a shining summer sun. They hung their artwork on a line between buildings. Not long after, a 3D paper Beijing was swinging in the air.
When the Mid-Autumn Festival came, the two friends lit paper lanterns. They laughed, gave each other a paper toy. When winter came, they taught kids in the neighborhood to fold paper snowmen. At the Spring Festival party, their artworks (艺术作品) about “Four Seasons of Beijing” won first prize.
Years later, whenever Mia saw paper art, she’d remember Li Hao’s first butterfly. Their friendship showed that in a big city, happiness could grow as quietly as a paper flower unfolding—and that two kind hearts could build bridges stronger than walls.

Throughout our daily lives, we can always hear voices reminding us to drink water. Teachers ask us to drink water during breaks and health experts say that water can improve our skin and help manage our weight. But a common question remains: how much water should we actually take in
For a long time, many people have stuck to the “8×8 rule,” believing that drinking eight glasses of water, eight times a day, is perfect. This idea, however, came from a misunderstanding. In 1945, scientists suggested drinking an amount (数量) of water for how much food we eat. That’s about eight glasses every day.
But the truth is, different people need very different amounts of water every day. For example, a sportsman who trains for hours might need much more water than someone who spends most of the day sitting at a desk. Our weight, age and how active we are all decide how much water we need.
So, do we need to strictly control how much water we drink Dr Stanley Goldfarb doesn’t think so. Our body has a great self-control system. When our body needs water, we feel thirsty, a clear sign to drink up. Also, our body can save water well and start working before we feel thirsty. Water offers many benefits (益处). It helps keep our body temperature normal, take away waste in the body and protect our joints (关节).
In short, your body is very smart. Don’t worry too much about how much water you should drink every day. Your body can take care of itself and tell you when it needs more water. Just listen to your body and you’ll stay healthy.
26. The “8×8 rule” mentioned in the second paragraph is about ________ to drink.
A. how much B. when C. how fast D. why
27. How does the writer support the idea that different people need different amounts of water
A. By listing real numbers.
B. By using expert opinions.
C. By sharing personal stories.
D. By comparing sportsmen and desk workers.
28. In the fourth paragraph, the underlined word “It” refers to ________.
A. food B. water C. the body D. the joint
29. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage (①=Paragraph 1②=Paragraph 2…)
A. B. C. D.
30. What does the writer want us to do
A. Stop drinking water in the evening.
B Worry about how much water we drink.
C. Listen to our body when we are thirsty.
D. Drink as much water as possible every day.

Chinese tea culture has over 4,000 years of history. It is more than a drink, showing Chinese wisdom (智慧). Let’s see its journey through time.
Long long ago, Chinese ruler Shennong found tea when leaves fell into his boiling water (沸水). Then tea started to become popular. During the Tang Dynasty, people drank tea for health and pleasure. Many of them wrote poems about tea. And at that time, Lu Yu wrote the world’s first tea book. Today, tea still connects (连接) past and present, but now we enjoy it everywhere—from quiet tea houses to busy offices.
Making tea needs skills. Gongfu tea in southern China is a good example. People use small cups and a teapot. They warm cups, add leaves, then pour hot water slowly. As tea flows out, a fresh smell rises. Adults often drink slowly to calm their hearts, while children might prefer sweet milk tea or cold fruit tea in summer.
Tea also expresses love. When guests come, families say, “Have some tea!” Serving elders first shows respect (尊重). Parents teach kids that holding cups with both hands is a simple polite act. In the past, people shared tea during long talks. Today, we prefer using it for quick meetings with friends.
Tea helps us learn to stay calm and be kind to others. Whether you like its rich taste or light taste, tea connects the past with today. As the saying goes, “Simple is best.” Just like a cup of tea, it seems simple but has a deep meaning. Though it’s an old tradition, it always feels fresh and new.
46. This passage is mainly talking about _________. (不超过3个词)
47. People drank tea to _________ during the Tang Dynasty. (不超过5个词)
48. Fill in the blanks according to the passage.
Chinese Tea Culture Traditional Gongfu Tea Drink tea as the following steps: Warm cups→Add leaves→ ________. (不超过4个词)

Tea Manners Serve elders first and ________. (不超过5个词)

例文:
Hello, everyone. I’m Li Hua from Class 1, Grade 8. Today, I want to talk about our national treasure—the pandas.
Pandas are famous for their black-and-white fur and round faces. They spend most of their time eating bamboo, which is their main food. How lovely they are!
But pandas are in great danger now. Their living places are becoming smaller as cities grow. Also, some bamboo forests are disappearing, leaving them with less food.
We must act now. We can support pandas by donating to wildlife groups. What’s more, telling others about their situation can help. Let’s try our best to make sure pandas have a safe home.
