湖南省邵阳市隆回县2023-2024学年八年级下学期期末考试英语试题
Buying second-hand things is becoming more popular these days. People sell all kinds of second-hand things, such as clothing, books and electronic products (电子产品) online every day.
Some people have bought more things than they really need, according to a speech given by the founder of a second-hand book-trading app (应用程序). As many people like a simple lifestyle, they are selling their used things cheaply. Shoppers choose them because of the low price. What's more, they think using second-hand things is good for the environment.
Chen Junjun, a student in Shanghai, often uses the app to look for the books she wants, just like on other shopping websites. The difference is that the books on the app are much cheaper—as much as 70% cheaper than new books.
It's reported that lots of people like Chen often buy second-hand books. The app has over 3 million users and sells about 20,000 second-hand books every day.
Buying second-hand books can even connect (把……联系起来) readers. Zhao Kaiqi, a student in Harbin, once found a note in a second-hand book she bought. "Its previous owner shared her ideas on the note. It was so heart-warming," Zhao said. "I want to do the same thing in the future."
Dear Jenny,
I am very busy on Friday. At 8:00 I have math. It is not fun. The teacher says it is useful, but I think it is difficult. Then at 9:00 I have science. It is difficult but interesting. At 10:00 I have history. After that, I have P. E. at 11:00. It is easy and fun. Lunch is from 12:00 to 1:00, and after that we have Chinese. It is my favorite subject. Our Chinese teacher, Mrs. Wang, is great fun. My classes finish at 1:50, but after that I have an art lesson for two hours. It is really relaxing!
How about you? When are your classes? What is your favorite subject?
Your friend,
Yu Mei

Hi, my name is Wu Ping. I'm a girl student in a middle school in Shenzhen, China. Let me tell you something about my school life. I go to school five days a week. At school, I have Chinese, maths, English, history, music and science on Monday. Science is my favourite subject. I think it's fun and useful. But my friend Huang Wei thinks it's boring. On Tuesday, we have a football game. The boys in our class are in it, and we girls only watch them play. On Wednesday, we have a geography class. Mr Wang is our geography teacher. We all like him and his classes because he is funny. On Thursday, we have an English party in the evening. It is interesting. But I don't like Friday because we have maths on that day and maths is really difficult for me. I really like my school life. |
