广东省佛山市顺德区大良顺峰中学2023-2024学年八年级上学期期中英语试卷
My hometown Nanjing is in the eastern part of China.As the capital of Jiangsu，it is a modern and busy city.And it is one of the cities with the longest history in China.With the development of the economy（经济），it has changed a lot in the past few years.
For one thing, people took tramcars (有轨电车) to go out in the past. But now many people choose to take a subway because of its convenience (便捷). What's more, taking a taxi becomes very popular. It has an app on the phone, and some people use it to call a taxi. It may be much cheaper.
Besides，the building is different from the past.In the past，the tallest building in Nanjing was Jinling Hotel.It had 37 floors.At that time，the tallest building is Zifeng Tower.It has 78 floors.Different from the past，you can see tall buildings everywhere in Nanjing.
As for the environment，in the 1980s and before，Nanjing was full of trees，people paid little attention to the importance of plants and fresh air.Plants were cut down and the air got worse. Now, to improve the living place, people take all actions to grow plants and cut down pollution. The environment is getting better now.

Most people have heard of the Great Wall of China, but not many people outside of China know about the Grand Canal.
This man-made waterway — known in China as Da Yunhe — is more than 1,700 kilometres long and some parts of it are more than 2,000 years old. It connects the north of China with Hangzhou, a city in the southern part of the country. It's the longest man-made waterway in the world.
It was built as a way to transport grain(谷物) from the rich agricultural land in China's south to cities in the north. In fact, it's not one canal, but a system of canals and rivers connected together. It's still an important part of the transport system in China. Thousands of boats use it every day to transport grain and many other types of cargo(货物).
Now the Chinese government is doing new work on the Grand Canal. It is making parts of it deeper, so bigger ships can use it. The canal will also help to move water. There is a lot of rain in the south of China, but not as much in the north. The canal will carry millions of litres of water from the south to the north.
The Grand Canal is much less famous than the Great Wall, and not very many tourists visit it. But it's possible to go on a cruise(乘船游览)along some of the oldest parts of the canal. Passengers on these cruises see beautiful parts of China that other visitors don't see.

You asked me about the gardens in Shenzhen last letter. You know that Shenzhen has built a lot of gardens.
Do you want to come here and have a look? I hope to hear from you soon.

Every child has a hobby. My hobby is studying the night sky. But some friends of mine have special hobbies.
Tim(Bangkok) | I collect candy papers but not any candy papers. They must have something to do with bears. For example, there is a bear on it, or there are many bears - it doesn't matter. My dream is to have one wall in my house with bear candy papers on it. |
Becky(London) | I collect rocks. Everywhere I go, mountains, rivers or farms, I stop and look at rocks. If I find an interesting one, I take it home and add it to my collection. Mom says I must stop soon because my room is getting full of rocks. But I don't care. It is my hobby. |
Kelly (Sydney) | Why am I reading this book? Because it has a green cover(封面). My hobby is collecting books with green covers. I have over 100| books, all with green covers. It's hard to find green-cover books. I spend much time in bookstores. I read a book. If it is interesting and the cover is green, I add it to my collection. |
