浙江省杭州市拱墅区2023-2024学年八年级上学期期末学情...

Hangzhou hosts the 19th Asian Games from September 23rd to October 8th, 2023. The Games are very smart thanks to the use of many exciting technologies. The place for the tennis finals(决赛)is sometimes called the "Small Lotus". On the top of the sports centers, there are eight "petals"(花瓣). Each petal weighs 160 tons. They can open and close freely. It takes 15 minutes for each petal to open and close. It's built this way for different kinds of weather.

What if there's an accident during the game and the athletes need first aid? Drones (无人机) can be used to send things over. They can fly as far as 20 kilometers and travel 16 meters in one second.

Every dish at the Asian Games should be safe and healthy to eat. In the kitchen of the athletes' village in Hangzhou, there is a special system that can tell people's faces. If a stranger goes into the kitchen, an alarm will go off to let people know. Do you want to walk around at the stadiums but can't make it in person? You can try the Hangzhou Asian Games' metaverse (元宇宙)! You can try it with an app on Alipay. You can enjoy the charm (魅力)of the stadiums both from the outside and inside.

It will be sad if you can't find your way. Augmented reality (AR) is here to help. There's a mini-program called the Hangzhou Asian Games AR service. You can simply turn on your phone's camera, and it will see where you are and then show you the way.

A long time ago, people were very different from the way we are now. For example, if you find a really old house somewhere, you'll see that the doors are usually much lower than they are today. Why? Because hundreds of years ago, people were shorter. Over time, the human body has changed a lot.

Can we expect the human body to keep changing in the future? That's for sure. And the main reason is that we have more and more technologies (技术), and those technologies are changing how we live. Here are some possible changes.

In the future, people will probably be even taller. Most of us now have much better food than people in the past, so we grow more. Then we will become taller and taller. 

Our muscles (肌肉) will not be as strong as now, because we won't do lots of physical work. We are already using our feet less and our hands more. So we can expect that our legs will get shorter and our feet will get smaller. At the same time, our fingers (手指) will get longer. What's more, our fingers and eyes will both get better, because they will have to do more work together.

What about the mouth? It'll get smaller, because we needn't talk so much with the help of technology.

Will all these things happen? And if so, when?

Being a parent of a teenager is not easy. If you have a teenager at your home, you usually feel difficult and tired. 

Parents must first understand the reasons before they start to solve the problems. There are too many reasons for problems between teenagers and parents, but there are some common reasons for parents and teenagers' problems.

Firstly, a teenager gets bad grades at school. The parents of the teenager with problems of getting the bad grades in school will be worried about the teenager's future. Secondly, a teenager is hanging out with a bad group. Thirdly, parents can't have a good talk with their teenagers.

In fact, parents can solve these problems. There are lots of parents who have the same problems as you. You can ask them for some advice. You can also ask the teenagers' teachers for help. Going to a family counsellor (顾问) is also a great idea. After all, family counsellors know some good ways to solve the problems between teenagers and their parents and they can be helpful. What's more, you'd better read some books about parenting in your free time. Though it is an old idea, it really works. Finally, do things together, such as going to a movie or playing games. You and your teenagers can find lots of common topics (话题) in these activities.

All in all, solving family problems might seem hard, but if everyone talks about his or her feelings, everything should work out in the end. There are many books about parent and teenager relationships and the books can help you improve your talks. Just try your best and everything will improve slowly. 

What will the future be like? No one is quite sure about it. However, I think there must be so many robots around us. 

. Some will do difficult and dangerous jobs like flying planes and driving subway trains, and some will do easy and simple jobs. They will help humans a lot. 

. They'll work more quickly but make fewer mistakes than humans. More importantly, they won't get bored and tired even though they do the same job again and again.

. They can be taught to do many different jobs in factories. First, workers will "tell" their electronic brains(电子脑) how they will do a job. Then they will remember each move. When the robot starts to work, its brain will give orders.

. If a robot's hand stops working, or if something gets in the way, it won't be able to do the next part of the job. So it will stop and ask for help, and then a human engineer will repair(修理)it.

. They are making our lives easier and easier, and so will they in the future. Maybe each of us will have one or two in our houses in the future. Without doubt(疑问), robots will appear around us at any time in the future. 

Bob's Burgers is a very popular cartoon sitcom. It gets more popular with kids. 1 , the sitcom has 12 seasons and more than 200 episodes (集). Now, it's going from the small screen to the 2 one. The Bob's Burgers Movie 3 on May 27, 2022. Now let me tell you something about the movie. 

The movie tells a story about the Belcher family. They run a 4 in a small city in the USA. The family may lose their restaurant because they owe (欠) the bank 5 . It becomes more difficult when a pretty big sinkhole (污水坑) 6 in front of their restaurant. It 7 the family from getting out of the problems and making their dreams for the summer come true. Bob and Linda lose 8 because people don't eat at their restaurant. 9 , after their three kids find a dead body below the sinkhole, the kids decide to find out the answer and help their 10 save the restaurant. The Belchers learn to love each other 11 they have their shortcomings (缺点).

Why is the movie so 12 and popular? The main reason is that 13 makes absurd (荒诞的) comedy and common family life together. What's more, there are lots of funny jokes in the movie and they often make people 14 .

"The film is warm and 15 , " said Screen Rant. "And the characters in it are like a real family. "

The top Chinese scientist Yuan Longping, well-known for his" Super Rice", died of illness at the age of 91 May 2nd，2021. Yuan Longping (be) born in Beijing in 1930. For almost 60 years, he had given most of his time and energy (do) rice research. So far, the hybrid rice(杂交水稻) he developed has pulled millions of people out of hunger all over the world. His achievements were so great he was called "The Father of Hybrid Rice" and won World Food Prize.

During his lifetime, Yuan Longping spent (much) time in the farm field than in his office. He often watched plants (quiet) and thought of ways to improve them, just as many Chinese (farmer) do. Yuan once said he had dream—to "enjoy the cool under the rice plants taller than men". a pity! He can't continue his dream now! But surely, people believe, his dream (come) true in the near future.
