（广东深圳·八年级校考期中）Have you ever heard the sound of a hummingbird They make a buzzing noise when they fly. They make this noise because they beat their wings so fast. They beat their wings up to 80 times a second. All that flapping makes a lot of noise. That’s why we call them hummingbirds.
Hummingbirds fly in a unique way. They move their wings so fast that they can hover. This means that they can stay in one spot in the middle of the air, like a helicopter. Sometimes they fly upside down. They are the only bird that flies backward.
Hummingbirds are small. One type called the bee hummingbird is the smallest bird in the world. Bee hummingbirds weigh less than a penny. They are just a little bit bigger than bees. I guess that’s why they get their name.
Hummingbirds move fast. It takes lots of energy to move as fast as they do. This means that they need to eat a lot of food. Their favorite food is nectar, a sweet liquid inside of some flowers. They drink more than their own weight of nectar daily. They have to visit hundreds of flowers to get enough nectar to live. They can only store enough energy to survive through the night. They live on the edge.
Hummingbirds help flowers too. They get pollen(花粉) on their heads and bills(鸟嘴) when they feed. Flowers use pollen to make seeds. Hummingbirds help pollen get from one flower to the next. This helps flowers make more seeds. More seeds mean more flowers. More flowers mean more food for hummingbirds. Isn’t it nice how that works out
21．Why are they called hummingbirds
A．They are very light. B．They sing when they fly.
C．Their wings make a humming sound. D．Their songs sound like humming.

（广东深圳·八年级校考期中）In the fight against the new coronavirus(新型冠状病毒), Chinese people have come up with creative solutions to different problems.
All for masks
During the outbreak, medical supplies such as masks are needed by many. To increase production, over 3,000 Chinese companies have changed their production lines to make medical equipment. For example, a company that used to make clothes spent 55 hours changing their production lines and is now able to make 1,200 protective medical suits every day.
Sharing employees
The idea of “sharing workers” has become popular during the outbreak. As most people are staying at home, many workers in restaurants and shopping malls have no work and are not getting paid.

More than 4,000 workers worked 24/7 in two shifts(轮班), and nearly 1,000 pieces of large equipment and transport vehicles helped them build the hospitals. It took less than 15 days to finish the two hospitals.

（广东深圳·八年级深圳市福永中学校考期中）Once there were many thousands of Gourma Desert （沙漠）elephants in Mali, a country in West Africa. Now, there are fewer than four hundred.

To go home after a long journey, they had to pack up. Besides their personal belongings, they also needed to bring home experimental data and samples for further research on Earth.
The three astronauts also cleaned “the house”. They must collect leftover food, sanitary (卫生) waste and waste from experiments. The waste was put into the orbital module (轨道舱), which burnt up as it re-entered Earth’s atmosphere.

（广东深圳·八年级深圳市南山外国语学校校考期中）I’m a procrastinator (有拖延症的人). In college, I was supposed to spend a year writing my 90-page senior paper. I didn’t write a word until three days before the deadline (截止日期). Finally, I wrote 90 pages over 72 hours, staying up two nights in a row to finish it on time. Of course, it was a very bad paper.
I have a theory (理论) that the brains of procrastinators are different from those of other people. Both kinds of people are able to make smart decisions. But the procrastinator’s brain also has a part that doesn’t like making the “right” decision. It only wants whatever is easiest and most fun.
For the procrastinator, this part of the brain makes all the decisions. So how can people like me work when we really need to It turns out that procrastinators also have a part of their brain that makes them panic. This part isn’t active all the time. But it suddenly “wakes up” when deadlines are close. It’s the only thing that can make us take action.
The problem is that there are many things in our lives that don’t come with deadlines. We know that we should spend more time exercising or seeing our family. But these things don’t have deadlines. So how can we work on them
One thing you can try is making a “life calendar”. Set a goal for yourself, such as exercising 20 minutes each day for a week. Take a regular calendar and put a big red “×” on each day that you exercise. After a week, you’ll see a neat (整齐的) row of “×”. This will help you feel more confident about working toward your goals.
61．Why does the speaker mention his college experience first
A．To give an example of procrastination (拖延症).
B．To show that we all have limitless talent.

（·广东深圳·八年级深圳市南山外国语学校校考期中）During the two sessions (两会), people around the world talk about China. Have you ever wondered what topics Generation Z (people born 1995—2009) are most interested in In March 2022, China Daily did a survey on topics of the two sessions to see what interests Generation Zers most. Let’s take a look.
Among all topics, “mental health” got the most votes (投票). “Spreading traditional culture” (83%) followed closely. The top choice is not unexpected. Reports on mental health problems of teenagers have increased in recent years. The rate of depression (抑郁) among them was nearly 25%. The attention they give to mental health shows that they care for their own well-being. When they don’t feel well, they dare to speak out and ask for help.
Although Generation Zers are young, they understand the power of traditional culture. They believe that China is deeply rooted in traditional culture and would like to spread it to the world. Zhao Yan, a junior 2 student from Liaoning Riwan Middle School, said, “My school set up many clubs to help students understand the importance of traditional culture. I join a paper-cutting workshop and a hanfu club. I have learned a lot. I made a tiger-shaped paper-cutting. It has not only helped me practise my handwork skills but also let me know the beauty of art. It’s our duty to pass this great art to future generations.”
Instead of only focusing on themselves, Generation Zers also set their eyes on social problems. Kevin Xu, a 16-year-old boy from Shenzhen, told the reporter. “I care about the prevention and control measures (防治措施) of COVID-19. I’m now studying in the UK. In February, the UK government ended quarantine (隔离) rules. It means that COVID-19 patients can go out. This would never happen in China! I think China’s “dynamic zero-case” policy (动态清零政策) sounds more responsible. A country should protect its people in a pandemic.”
People seem to know little about Generation Zers. Thanks to this survey, we are able to take a closer look at “what Generation Zers care about” and paint a picture of what they are like.
66．According to the passage, what might be the percent of votes of mental health in the survey

D．It’s known to all that the mental health problems of teenagers are serious.
