考查代词的用法。any other student其他任何一个学生；any other students其他学生；any student任何一个学生。any students任何学生。any任何一个；any other+单数名词：其他任何一个……，句中有than“比”，所以此处是玛丽和班里其他任何一个学生相比较，玛丽比班里比其他任何一个学生写得认真。故选A。

（2022秋·江苏苏州·八年级统考期中）We’ve heard about several “poor students” in the past year. Cui Qingtao, a student from Yunnan, working with his parents on a building site when he got an admission letter (录取通知书) from Peking University. 33 She is a student from Hebei. She was doing her part-time job in a different city when her family got her admission letter from Peking University.
34 For example, they are all strong and optimistic (乐观的). Li hui said in an interview, " As long as we are alive, there are no problems that cannot be solved, and many people don’t have my experiences. 35 ” Such an idea makes many adults feel embarrassed. He refused to accept donation money and decided to make money by himself. This is also the common thing that “ poor students “ have.
Whatever kind of values you hold, such personalities are necessary for growth. 36 Not everything goes well all the time. Only being strong and optimistic can one go through difficulties. In fact, living in poor families doesn't promise such good personalities, and living in happiness doesn't promise optimistic attitudes (态度). We like such “poor students ”because they are strong and optimistic.
For them, few can choose their lifestyles. 37 That’s why they are highly praised. Every one of us should learn from them.
A．Life is full of ups and downs.
B．A girl named Wang Xinyi is another example.
C．“Poor students” are usually hard-working and caring.
D．And these experiences make me grow and become better.
E．Born in poor families, these students have a lot in common.
F．However, all of them can choose their attitudes towards life .
G．We can learn a lot from these “poor students”.

【分析】很多优秀的学生都来自贫困的家庭，短文中给我们举了一些例子，这些学生们身上都有一些共同的特点：他们都坚强、乐观，这对于我们的成长是必要的。其实我们每个人都可以有这样的品格，我们应该向他们学习。
33．短文第一句话“We’ve heard about several “poor students” in the past year”提到了一些“贫困的学生”，然后举了崔庆涛的例子。这个空后“She is a student form Hebei.”提到了是另外一个例子，因此这里应该是讲到一个女生，选项B“一个叫王欣怡的女生是另外一个例子。”符合语境。故选B。
34．根据空后“For example, they are all strong and optimistic (乐观的)”提到他们都是坚强和乐观的，因此这里说的是他们的共同点，选项E“出生在贫困家庭，这些学生有很多共同点。”符合语境。故选E。
35．根据上文“ they are all strong and optimistic (乐观的). ”和“and many people don’t have my experiences.”可知，此处与李慧的经历有关，且是为了证明贫困学生的坚强和乐观，选项D“这些经历使我成长，而且变得更好。”符合语境。故选D。
36．根据“Not everything goes well all the time. ”不是每件事都总是进展顺利可知，此处表示生活的不顺，选项A“生活中充满了起起落落。”符合语境。故选A。
37．根据“For them, few can choose their lifestyles”对于贫困学生来说，很少有人能选择他们的生活方式，和“That’s why they are highly praised.Every one of us should learn from them.”可知，空处说的是受赞扬的原因，结合选项，选项F“然而他们都可以选择自己对生活的态度”符合语境。故选F。

九、阅读回答问题
（2023·江苏苏州·八年级统考阶段练习）请认真阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题。
Many people dream of becoming a programmer for a major tech company because they can get high pay. However, it may mean having to accept overtime work. In fact, working overtime has been common for workers in China’s Internet companies for many years, but debate about the practice heated up recently online.
These days, many Chinese tech companies follow a “996” work schedule. This means their workers have to start work at 9 a. m. and finish at 9 p. m. six days a week. They seldom get overtime pay for this, Global Times reported.
This schedule has been heavily questioned ever since a computer programmer created a website called “996. ICU”. It says that following a “996” schedule is unhealthy and could cause workers to end up in an intensive care unit (ICU). Many other programmers have complained about the schedule “If it’s a work-more-pay-more model, I’d be a lot more willing to follow the ‘996’ schedule. But the truth is, not every company is run that way. That’s why many people complain,” a software developer said.
However, the bosses of some tech companies have defended “996”. Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba, said it’s “a huge blessing” for young workers to do “996”. He said, “If you don’t do ‘996’ when you’re young, when will you If you don’t spend more time than others, how will you get the success you want ”
Many have questioned Ma’s thinking. People’s Daily pointed out that “valuing hard work does not mean making workers work overtime.”
In fact, according to China’s Labor Law, people should work no more than eight hours a day or no more than 44 hours a week. It is illegal for companies to use a “996” work schedule.
63．How many hours does a worker have to work a week according to the “996” schedule
64．What does the website “996 ICU” say about the work schedule
65．Would you like to follow the “996” schedule Why Or why not
【答案】63．72 hours. 64．It says that following a “996” schedule is unhealthy and could cause workers to end up in an intensive care unit. 65．本题属于开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案：No. Because I want to be healthy and I will feel tired if I follow it.
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讨论“996”工作制是好还是坏。事实上“996”工作制是不合法的。
63．根据“This means their workers have to start work at 9 a. m. and finish at 9 p. m. six days a week.”可知，从早上9点开始工作，晚上9点结束工作，每周工作6天，所以一周工作72小时。故填72 hours.
64．根据“It says that following a ‘996’ schedule is unhealthy and could cause workers to end up in an intensive care unit (ICU).”可知，该公司表示，遵循“996”时间表是不健康的，可能会导致员工最终住进重症监护室。故填It says that following a “996” schedule is unhealthy and could cause workers to end up in an intensive care unit.
65．本题属于开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案：No. Because I want to be healthy and I will feel tired if I follow it.

四、阅读还原7选5
（2022秋·江苏苏州·八年级统考期中）We’ve heard about several “poor students” in the past year. Cui Qingtao, a student from Yunnan, working with his parents on a building site when he got an admission letter (录取通知书) from Peking University. 33 She is a student from Hebei. She was doing her part-time job in a different city when her family got her admission letter from Peking University.
34 For example, they are all strong and optimistic (乐观的). Li hui said in an interview, " As long as we are alive, there are no problems that cannot be solved, and many people don’t have my experiences. 35 ” Such an idea makes many adults feel embarrassed. He refused to accept donation money and decided to make money by himself. This is also the common thing that “ poor students “ have.
Whatever kind of values you hold, such personalities are necessary for growth. 36 Not everything goes well all the time. Only being strong and optimistic can one go through difficulties. In fact, living in poor families doesn't promise such good personalities, and living in happiness doesn't promise optimistic attitudes (态度). We like such “poor students ”because they are strong and optimistic.
For them, few can choose their lifestyles. 37 That’s why they are highly praised. Every one of us should learn from them.
A．Life is full of ups and downs.
B．A girl named Wang Xinyi is another example.
C．“Poor students” are usually hard-working and caring.
D．And these experiences make me grow and become better.
E．Born in poor families, these students have a lot in common.
F．However, all of them can choose their attitudes towards life .
G．We can learn a lot from these “poor students”.
