One day last year, I was surprised to see a big foreigner coming out of the house next door to ours. He was very tall with short brown hair and a pair of glasses.The first time I saw him, I was too shy to speak to him. “My English is too bad!” I thought. My grandmother told me that he had just moved into our yard. “I don’t like it!” she said, “Foreigners aren’t like us. Maybe he’ll play loud music and parties every night! I’m sure he’s going to cause trouble.”Several days later, I met the foreigner as I was walking home after work. “Hello!”he said (in Chinese！). “My name’s Tony. I’ve just moved into the house next door to yours.” While I was wondering what to say, he continued, “ There’s a nice bar( 酒吧) down the road. Why don’t you and your family come and have dinner with me?”“Bars are bad places,” said my grandmother when I told her, but we decided to go.The bar was not at all what I had expected. It was in a beautiful little yard house, with several large bookshelves and pictures of Tibet on the walls. Several Chinese people and foreigners were sitting drinking or reading books. I noticed that some of the foreigners were speaking Chinese in a low voice to each other! “Oh, what a civilize p d lace!” my grandmother exclaimed.The bar served(提供) special “hutong pizzas”.

The tree, on the other hand, hated the vegetables because they drank nearly all the water, leaving him just enough to live.It became so serious that the vegetables decided to use up all the water in the ground so that the tree would die. The tree answered back by not protecting the vegetables from the hot sun, so they began to dry up. Soon the vegetables were really weak, and the tree was drying up.The gardener wondered why and and stopped watering them. When he did that, both the tree and the vegetables realized(意识到）that it was better to help each other. They learned how to live in harmony with those around them. So they decided to work together, using both the shade and the water to grow well. After seeing how well they were doing, the gardener gave the best care to the vegetable patch, watering and fertilizing(施肥）it better than any other patch for miles around.

But that’s not true. There are many interesting stories in the paper. You just need to make clear what you are looking at. “I spend about half an hour reading newspapers every day,” said 15-year-old Gao Ming from Beijing.“I’m interested in things happening at school.” School news is just one kind of news story in newspapers. There’s also world news: from international (国际的)problems to pop stars.Read the newspaper carefully, and we’ll find different kinds of article on the pages:News stories---these stories are about events(事件). Reporters try to show all points of a story to help readers understand what happened. Reporters try to speak to as many people as possible. They also use pictures and numbers to show the readers that the stories are true. The newspaper Teenagers has lots of news stories on the news page and front page. When we read them, we learn more about the facts, not the writers’ ideas.Opinion writing---opinion writing is usually about something happening right now. But it isn’t just facts. Here writers add(增加)their own opinions to the news. Writers pick only the facts that help back their ideas. They make readers believe that they are telling the truth(真相). This is usually the kind of story that gets people thinking. Go to“Speak Out”on Page Two for an example of opinion writing in Teenagers.Advertisement---Don’t get happy too early when you read them. Those s weet words and lovely pictures are just ways to get us interested in their products(产品)! People have to pay to put advertisements in newspapers!49.The underlined sentence “You just need to make clear what you are looking at.” means that the readers“____”.A. should understand interesting news storiesB. should know which kind of things to readC. need to read the school news firstD. must know the contents(内容)of all the news50.

It was Mr Zimmerman , the elderly man who walked with a walking stick . His car was out of gas(汽油).“I’d like to help Mr Zimmerman,” thought Jane ,“but if I do , I won’t have time to do my homework.” She hated to think what Mr Robert would say if she didn’t finish papers.“It’s his own fault(错误)for running out of gas,” Jane talked to herself. “The station is only a half mile down the street .

The last word in each of the lines of a poem does not have to have a rhyming sound. But many of them do. Two lines of poetry(诗歌)that rhyme with each other at the end are called a rhyming couplet(对句).Writing rhyming poetry can be difficult because you need to choose words that not only rhyme, but have meaning too. Even though some poems are short, you have to think extra long about which words to choose. Here is an example of a short poem.He was only a bug, but he was the king.She smiled at him when he gave her a ring.He forgot to be careful of one little thing.His queen was a bee, and she could sting.( )46 .What does it mean when two words rhyme?A.They must have the same meaning.B.

At home you probably do a few simple chores, like washing the dishes or making your bed. You might complain about not having enough free time to relax.In the past, children of your age probably had a little more to complain about. Throughout much of history, many didn't go to school because they had to help all day at home or on the farm. Their parents taught them what they knew, but very few adults（成年人）could read or write. The Aztec people, who lived from 1200 to 1473 in present-day Mexico, were special. The Aztecs believed that education, or learning, was important. Every child went to school, although boys and girls learned different things.In the nineteenth century, many people began moving into cities to find jobs . In cities there was no longer a need to have children work on the farm. So instead they began working in factories. In England many children worked long hours six days a week. And they earned（挣）as little as a penny a day-that's less than fifty cents in today' money! Children started working from a very young age, sometimes at only five or six years old. They gave all of their money to their parents to help pay for the family's needs.Today most children go to school. Sometimes teenagers work part-time jobs to earn money. But many use t hat money for enjoyment, not to help their families. Think about it! Even if（即使）you work and go to school, you still have time to relax or hang out with your friends. Next to your peers（同龄人）from the past, you have it pretty easy!52. The underlined word "they" in paragraph 2 refers to______________.A. teachersB. childrenC. The Aztec peopleD. parents53.

Today teenagers should use that money they earned to help their families.55. The passage mainly tells us that_____________________.A. Children's lives have changed with the development of society.B. For the Aztec people, boys and girls l earned different things at school.C. Many children in England earned much money in the nineteenth century.D. People were poor so they couldn't send their children to school in the past.46-48 CAB 49-51 DCB 52-55 DCBAASometimes...Sometimes I feel lonely,Like I’m by myself wi th no one here.When I’m that way, I call a friend.My lonely moods(心情) soon disappear (消失).Sometimes I feel excited,Like I have some news I have to share!My friends open their ears to me.They always listen, talk, and care.Sometimes I feel so sad,Like my world is cold and darkest blue.At those times my friends let me knowThey’re with me, standing strong and true.Sometimes I feel mixed-up,Like I just don’t know how I should feel.My friends then help me figure out.What’s right and wrong, what’s f alse and real!1.

He was making his first trip to Texas and happened to sit next to a man from Texas in the plane. The Texan spent a lot of time telling him how everything is bigger and better in Texas. When the blind man reached a large hotel, he was very excited about being in Texas.The long trip made him very tired so he decided to stop at the bar for a small drink and a light snack before going up to his room to change his clothes. When the waitress set down his drink, it was in a big cup. “Wow, I hear everything in Texas is bigger,” he told her.“That’s right,” she answered. The blind man ate his snack and finished his drink. After drinking so much, he wanted to go to the restroom (厕所). He asked the waitress where it was. She told him to turn left at the register (登记处) and it would be the second door on the right.He reached the first door and continued down the hall. A few steps later he stumbled (绊脚) and missed the second door and went through the 3rd door instead. Not knowing he went to the swimming area, he walked forward (向前) and fell into the swimming pool.Remembering everything he heard about things being bigger in Texas, as soon as he had his head abo ve water, he started shouting, “Don’t flush (冲洗)!

We usually need to set passwords (密码) when we use the computers. But not all the passwords are safe. We should learn how to make safe passwords.How can you make your passwords safe? Experts have some tips for you. You’d better remember the tips because they are useful. Here are some tips.First, make your password out of capital letters. It will be difficult for others to get into your account (账户). It only takes a hacker (黑客) 10 minutes to work out a six-letter password made of small letters. But the same password in capital letters takes 10 hours to work out.Second, add numbers or symbols (符号) to your password. It may be much safer. Sometimes such passwords are not easy to remember, but they are really safe.Third, never use personal information for passwords and use different passwords for different accounts. Experts say that a user should change his passwords about every 90 days. In that way, hackers won’t guess your passwords.7. The underlined word “them” refers to “___________________”.A. the passwordsB. computers and the InternetC. the capital lettersD. the accounts8.

One day he played a joke on the Prime Minister (宰相). He said that the Minister would die the next day. Really the next day, the Minister fell off the horse and died. When the king learned this, he got angry and sent his men to catch Effendi at once.When Effendi was in front of the King, the king shouted angrily, “Effendi, since (既然) you know when my Minister would die, you must know the date of your own death. Say it out, or you will die today.” Effendi looked at the king for a while, he answered, “But how can I know? I’ll die two days earlier than you.” Because the king was afraid if he killed Effendi, he himself would die after that. He thought he must keep Effendi alive as long as he could, so he let Effendi go.（）1、The story tells us _______A. how Effendi fooled the kingB. when the king would dieC. why the Minister diedD.

The king was afraid of deathC. Effendi didn’t know when the king would dieD. If the king killed Effendi, he himself would die two days later.BIn nature, you may see many insects and animals of different colors. Have you ever wondered why?Locusts are super delicious food for birds, but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them. It is neither because locusts are good jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than their enemies. The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops. When crops are young, locusts look green. But when autumn comes, locusts change to the yellow and brown color as crops do.Brown bears, tigers and other animals move quietly through forests. They can’t be seen easil y by their enemies(敌人). This is because they have colors similar to the trees. For the same reason, polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white. Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers. Soil insects are mostly dark-color ed and they live under the soil(土壤）in a dark and wet environment（环境）. However, insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others. So in order to survive, they have to hide themselves in the daytime and appear only at night.Have you ever noticed some even stranger acts? The ink fish in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger. As the ink spreads over（散开）, its enemies will find themselves suddenly in a dark world. At the same time the ink fish swims away quickly. That is how it keeps itself safe though it is not strong at all.( )4、According to the passage, most soil insects ______A．do not have bright colorsB．change their colors with the soilC．do not live in a dark and wet environment.D．eat colorful insects like butterflies and bees.( )5、What’s the meaning of the underlined word “survive” in the passage?A．繁殖B．产卵C．觅食D．生存( )6、What is the main idea of this passage?A．Some insects and animals have different skills.B．Some insects and animals are cleverer than we think.C．Some insects and animals use colors to protect themselves.D．Some insects and animals can get used to the environment easily.CVery few people enjoy exams. I don’t, either. And although I tell myself not to worry aboutthem, I always do! So I am not surprised that my students worry about them, too, even though they usually don’t need to. Because they are afraid of failing. However, since it is hard not to worry at all, we all must try not to worry too much. Why? Because worrying makes exams worse! How to do this?Ask the teacher about how to revise and about exam skills---- how to work when you are in the exam.Good students don’t wait until the week before an exam. They study all through the year. It is not possible to learn everything at the last minute. So don’t leave it till then!If you start planning and working for each exam early and you make sure that you understand what you are studying , then, when it is over, you’ll be able to say, “What a good exam that was!”Take a short rest during your time of work and revision(复习). If your mind is tired, it will not remember well. Work at the time when you know you will work at your best.If you are studying in the evening, don’t go straight to bed after wards. Your mind will still be “going round and round”----thinking that will relax you, and make you think of other things.If you feel bad, talk to someone about your worries. But don’t be too relaxed! Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them.( )7. Why are the students afraid of exams according to the passage?A. Because they are afraid of failing.B. Because they want to get full marks.C. Because exams are usually hard.D. Because their teachers will be angry if they fail exams.( )8. Which is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Good students don’t wait until the week before an exam.B. Start planning and working for each exam earlyC. If you don’t know how to work for an exam, ask the teacher about it.D. You shouldn’t sleep well befo re the exam.( )9. According to the passage, if you feel bad, you’d better _______.A. take a short restB. tell someone about your worriesC. walk or get exerciseD. keep busy working and forget your worries( )10.

You can just as well tell him what you have to say in a soft manner,” said the wise man.Students gave some other answers but none were any good.“When two people are angry at each other, their hearts become distance d(疏远的),” the wise man explained. “To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the louder they will have to shout to hear each other and cover that great distance.”The wise man then gave an example: “What hap pens when two people fall in love? They don’t shout at each other but talk softly because their hearts are very close. When they love each other even more, what happens? They don’t need to talk. They only look at each other and that’s all. That is how clos e two people are when they love each other.”He looked at his students and said: “So when you argue, do not let your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance you from others. Otherwise, there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.”51.

How difficult the homework is depends on (取决于) what subject you are learning.For English, we usually put together presentations(展示). I will look for some information on the Internet. For example, I’m working on a one-minute presentation about recent Canadian news.I read about lots of news, and I will choose one thing to write about. Doing presentations is a good way to practice speaking skills and build confidence(自信). I still feel shy talking in front of many people. But my English has really become better.For geography and history, we usually do paper work and make posters. It takes a lot of time. We spent about a month on one article last year. We had to make outlines (提纲) and write out the main ideas. Our teacher fixed them and then we could start to write. For the posters, you can print or draw them. Last week, our teacher asked us to make a poster about our sense of place. So weput two pictures of our favorite places and wrote 10 words to describe them.Science was very hard for me at first. And it took me an hour to read three pages. But as I learn more and more words, I understand it better. Even if I don’t understand all the words, I can mostly guess what it is saying. So I get faster and faster at doing my homework.No matter what homework you get, just try your best.56. What decides the difficulty of students’ homework according to the passage?A. The teachers.B.

But it’s not a good idea. The best way is to forgive(原谅) them.It is not easy for us to forgive people who hurt us, but it is possible. “ Forgiveness makes you more hopeful. And it is good for our health,” says Frederic, Ph D, the writer of the book called Forgive for God.But how can we forgive others?First, think of something beautiful and try to get yourself happy.Second, don’t want others to say sorry to you. If the people hurt you, he or she won’t say sorry to you. They may just want to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way.Third, try to see things in others’ shoes. You can write a letter to yourself from the offender’s(冒犯者) point. That can make you understand others better and make yourself happier.At last, don’t forget to forgive yourself. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge(挑战). And it also makes you more confident(自信).31.What’s the Chinese me aning of the underlined sentence?A.站在别人的鞋上看问题。

They are in Yancheng，Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve（自然保护区）is in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes (丹顶鹤) in the world，but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Cranes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine，too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also stop flood(洪水). But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.( )1. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are in the _______ of China.A. eastB. southC. westD. north( )2.

Please read the following passage.Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save you life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not lifts.From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible, learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average(平均高度的) person, hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room.Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leaked(渗) into the room.On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof.

译林牛津版八年级英语上册期末阅读理解专项训练

八年级英语上册期末阅读理解专项训练第一部分AHave you found that more and more people are usingemojis to communicate online? For example. "Happy Birthday"has become a cake with lit candles. And "I’m happy" has becomea smiling face.Emojis have been warmly welcomed since they wereinvented in the 1990s in Japan. According to a survey of a mobile technology company, 6 billion emojis are used in text messages around the world every day. Last year,20 percent of all emojis used in the UK and 17 percent of those used in the US was the icon .It became the most widely-used icon in 2015.Emojis are now used as % new fo~ of expression", and one which can cross language barriers(障碍). "'Emojis are popular among millennials, who were born between late 1980s and early 2000s, because they welcome new technology and new things and they think emojis are ' flexible(灵活的) and show meanings beautifully'", president of Oxford Dictionaries told The Wall Street Joural.Since millennials became the biggest part in the American workforce(劳动), emojis have been more accepted in the workplace. For many people, the tiny pictures also show that the users are part of mainstream(主流) society. In the digital age, emojis are "how most people communicate and show their personality many times every day. "But not everyone thinks the use of emojis is a good thing. Jonathan Jones of T he Guardian said that the success of emojis is "a step back for humans", hurting people's ability to use languages."There are strict limits on what you can say with pictures--the written word is necessary to express your ideas and feelings to their highest level," he said.Do you feel or about emojis?( )41. What emoji is "Happy Birthday" according to the passage?A.B. C. D.( ) 42.Where were emojis invented?A. In JapanB. In China. C In the UK. D. In the US. ( ) 43. What does the underlined word "millennials" in the 3rd paragraph mean in Chinese?A. 80后B. 00后C. 独生子女D. 千禧一代( ) 44. Why are emojis popular among millennials?A. Because emojis limit what they say with pictures.B. Because they think emojis are a step back for humans.C. Because 6 billion emojis are used in text messages eve~ day.D. Because young people are easily attracted by new technology and new things.( ) 45. The writer makes us learn about the emojis in Paragraph 2 by______.A. telling storiesB. explaining the word "emojis"C. listing numbersD. making comparisons(比较)BWhen we exercise hard, we burn fat (脂肪). But have you ever wondered where exactly the fat goes?Some doctors think that fat is changed into heat and given off in the air. Others think the body burns it. Some even joke that someone comes and takes it. That’s why you always weigh less in the morning.Now a new study from Australia solves the mystery.“The correct answer is that most of the fat is breathed out as CO2. It goes into thin air,” says the study.Scientists followed the atoms (原子) in 10 kilograms of fat as they are lost. They found that 8.4 of those kilograms are breathed out as CO2through the lungs (肺). The other weight, 1.6 kilograms, becomes water and leaves the body.“None of this is easy to understand because we can’t see the CO2 we brea the out,” said the study’s lead expert.Does that mean you can lose more weight by breathing more? It is not as easy as you think. Breathing more than the body’s metabolic rate (新陈代谢速度) can make you uncomfortable. You may feel dizzy (眩晕的) and become unable to see, move or feel, according to the study.So how can people lose weight healthily? The key is to eat less and move more. You may have heard this many times. During a day, a 70kg person breathes out about 200g of CO2. So if the same person wants to lose weight, he or she can do some light exercise, for example, walking fast. This can help lose 240g of CO2.46. Where is the new study from?A. Japan.B. Australia.C. Canada.D. America.47. According to the new study, where does our fat go when we exercise a lot?A. The body burns it.B. Someone comes and takes it.C.

They will lose weight healthily.B. They will feel comfortable.C. They may become unable to move.D. They may become healthier.49. Which of the following is the best way to lose weight?A. Sitting still and breathing more.B. Sleeping a lot and breathing more.C. Eating less and exercising more.D. Eating more and doing some light exercise.50. The passage mainly tells us __________.A. where fat goes when we exerciseB. why we can lose weight healthilyC. how we should do some exerciseD. what we should do to burn fatCA man in Pakistan is now working to help children get an education. When he was a child, he did not go to school because he was too poor.It is reported that Pakistan has 25 million children who do not go to school. That is the second highest number in the world.

Some of the children attend other schools in the morning, but come to Ayub in the afternoon to get help with their homework.Ayub has helped a large number of poor children since he began teaching. Many of them come from very poor areas near the park.Ayub said, “I used to argue with kids who worked ‘Why are you washing someone’s dishes or their clothes? Why don’t you study?’”One of the children he advised to attend classes was Farhat Abbas. Ayub found him working with his friends about 12 years ago. “He followed us back home. He told our parents he wanted to teach us and asked them to send us to his school,” Abbas said.Today, Abbas is taking classes at a college and is helping Ayub.Many children are out of school, and those who do attend classes often get a poor education.

Burton is one of Europe’s oldest wildlife parks. Here you can see wild animals from all over the world –and they’re not in cages. Before we start, we have some information for the animal’s safety and for your own. First, please stay in your car at all times. If there is an emergency (紧急情况) or your car breaks down, please use your horn (喇叭) and lights and a person will come and help you. If you would like to stop, please do so on the left side of the road, so the traffic will pass on the right.Please don’t feed the animals. Our animals are fed on special diets and your food could make them ill or even kill them.We’re starting our tour with some of Burton’s most interesting animals, our four white rhinos (犀牛) from South Africa. The w hite rhino doesn’t get its name from its colour; the African word white means wild. The white rhino has a wide mouth and it helps the animal to eat grass. Sadly, there are very few white rhinos left because humans hunt them for their valuable horns (角). They can be made into things like handles (柄，把手) for knives.43. Who is the speaker?A. A guide.B. A tourist.C. A climber.D. A chairperson.44. Which sentence is TRUE about Burton?A. It’s a new wildlife parkB. Animals in Burton are kept in cages.C. Traffic there keeps to the left.D.

People hunt it for its fur.CDolphins are one of the cleverest animals in the world. We may hear of many stories about how dolphins save people out of water.Dolphins often eat fish and some other sea animals. A dolphin with a weight of 200kg to 250kg will eat 10kg to 25kg of fish every day. They like to swim with other dolphins and usually hunt in groups.Dolphins have very good hearing. They use it to find things under the water. Many scientists also believe dolphins can even talk to each other through a special whistle (哨声). People from different areas don’t speak the same language. Just like people, dolphins’ whistles have many kinds. One day we may understand dolphins’ whistles, and then they will be able to tell us about themselves.Dolphins live in the sea, but they are not a ki nd of fish and they don’t lay eggs. They have babies in the same way as cows and cats do, and give their babies milk. A female dolphin has a baby every two to three years.Dolphins are very friendly. Sadly, there are not many kinds of dolphins left. People killed them for many years for food and other things. Now it’s time to stop this and perhaps there will be more of them in the years to come.46. If a dolphin weighs 240kg, how much of fish may it eat every day?A. 5kgB. 16kgC. 30kgD. 35kg47.

They also said that in the past 100 years, as the global (全球的) temperatures went up by 0.74 ºC, the temperature in North China has gone up by 1.4 ºC in only 50 years.China needs to take quick action to cut carbon dioxide emission (排放), because it’s the main reason for global warming. We plan to cut energy use by 20% and pollution emission by 10% in the 11th Five-Year Plan.Can you slow global warming? Sure! You and your family can take steps to cut the amount of carbon dioxide that is sent out into the air.Here are some pieces of advice to help you save the earth. Wear used clothes.

牛津译林版八年级上册英语期末复习：阅读理解专项练习题(含答案)

牛津译林版八年级上册英语期末复习：阅读理解专项练习题ⅠAEveryone needs friends. As the old saying goes, "Friendship is one mind in two bodies."But how can you find a real friendship and keep it? The Care and Keeping of Friends written by American author Nadine Bernard Westcott tells young students some smart ways to find friends.First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good fiend should do his or her best to help you. To make friends, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.But things cannot always be happy. Even best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, you can have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk with you, you may write a letter. Nadine says there are three steps about being friends again: tell him or her how you are feeling, say what you have done (已经做) wrong, and explain (解释) why you did this or that.The book also gives advice on some small but important things like celebrating your friend’s success (成功) .Even if you haven’t had a real fiend before, you will tart to think about having one if you read this book, because the book tells that friendship is the most important thing in your life.1.A good friend should ______ .A. have a lot of moneyB. be good-lookingC. be kind and patientD. be successful2.You can take ______ steps to fix a broken friendship.A.2B.3C.4D.53.

Have a fight with him or her.4.The writer of the passage really wants to tell us ______ .A. life is great if you have friendsB. an old sayingC. Nadine is an American writerD. what makes a good friendBI still remembered my first day of second grade. I walked into the classroom. No teacher yet. Girls were talking. Boys were trying to kill each other. I took some paper and a pencil, picked a desk, and went to work. Minutes later, a girl came over and sat on top of my desk. "What’re you doing?" she said. "Writing to 100," I replied."Is that you can do?" "No," I said. Then when I stand up from my seat to get my pencil sharpener, the desk fell over and hurt her leg.Her name was Jane. From that day on, she was my best fiend. Many years later, after college, I moved to California. Jane stayed in our hometown to be a social worker. We were friends for more than 50years. After her death seven years ago, I still think of her often, especially at the start of the school year.TV ads try to tell us what children need for school-new shoes, clothes, schoolbags.But rally, children’s needs are simple. They need the gift of friendship. For years, I feared how people saw me. But one day, I understood. I didn’t need to be smart or pretty or popular. I just needed to be kind.My grandson Henry recently finished his preschool and got a prize for "Friendship". Even an Olympic medal wouldn’t make me prouder! I think children need to know that they are loved. They need to know that they have all hey need and the best way to win friends is to be one5.

It was very hard to answer these questions and few people could answer them correctly.Once, he asked a very strange question. None of his people knew the answer. At this moment, a man named Birbal came to the emperor. "May I ask what the question is?" Birbal asked. Akbar said, "How many crows are there in this city?" Birbal answered quickly, "There are 50,589crows,my lord.""How can you be so sure?" asked Akbar. Birbal said, "Make your man count, my lord. If you find a greater number of crows than I gave, it means some have come to visit their friends here. If you find a smaller number of crows, it means some have gone to visit their friends elsewhere."Akbar was very happy with Birbal’s answer. Some questions may seem quite difficult, but actually they are open-ended ones. We just have to think about them in a cleverer way, as Birbal did.1.

But you are not sure who would be friendly and let you sit with them.Natalie Hampton, an 1lth-grader from Sherman Oaks. Calif. designed a new app called Sit With Us. It makes finding friends in the school lunchroom very easy. The free app went online on Sep.9. Students can sign up as "ambassadors" (大使) for a club. Then they can post "open lunch" events to invite others to join in.Natalie got the idea to create the app after she ate alone every day in her old school. The experience (经历) made her feel sad and she was even bullied. She changed schools because of that.People may want to know why you don’t just ask to sit down. Natalie said the app stops kids from being rejected (被拒绝) in front of others."This way it’s very private. It’s through the phone. No one else has to know. And you know that going up to a table won’t end in rejection," she said.So far, the app works well."I had my first club meeting, and everyone was very excited. People are already posting open lunches at my school. So I’m very excited," Natalie said.6.

And one event made our visit seem truly magical.We got to the front of the line at Space Mountain, only to find out that our little daughter Gloria couldn't take her ice cream on the ride. We were so excited that we all forgot ice cream was not allowed on the ride.Gloria broke into tears and we all had no idea what to do. Then Murphy, one of the staff (员工) members, came over. She bent down and told Gloria that she would hold the ice cream for her and give it to her when she finished the ride. Gloria said, "Promise?" Then she gave Murphy her ice cream, and she completely enjoyed the ride. Sure enough, as we walked out of the exit, there was Gloria's new friend with "her" ice cream. Now you and I both know what happened, because we know that an ice cream won't last twenty minutes on a summer afternoon in Florida. Murphy knew what time we would get off the ride; she went to the nearest shop and bought a brand-new ice cream thirty seconds before we walked out of the exit.

It is also the first city in the US to join the "Lights Out Plan". Last month people turned off the lights in the city’s tall buildings so that thousands of birds could get to their winter homes.There areover9,000kinds of birds in the world,and about 600 kinds of birdsmigrate. Every year in autumn. some birds fly over Chicago on their way to the south,and come back the next spring. Birds migrate for several reasons. Many birds cannot live in the cold,so they fly to warmer places. But there are other reasons too. Birds need to find more food and have babies in the south. Many birds like to have their baby birds in the same"house"they lived in last year,so they fly back there.Usually birds find their way by looking at the stars in the sky at night. Lights in tall buildings are so bright that birds may mistake them for stars. Unluckily, this may make them lose their way. So Chicago decided to take action to help those poor birds. Turning off lights really gives birds a hand.1. Why did people in Chicago turn off their lights?A. Because they wanted to save money.B. Because they liked the dark night.C. Because they were afraid that birds would make much noise.D. Because they were afraid that birds would lose their way.2. What does the underlined word"migrate"mean in Chinese?A. 迁徙B. 定居C. 冬眠D. 重生3.

Which of the following is NOT a reason for bird migration?A. They can’t live in cold winter.B. They need to find food in thesouth.C. They want to find their family members.D. They give birth to babies in the south.5. We probably read the passage in ______ .A. a storybookB. a history bookC. a newspaperD. a travelling bookBMany of us enjoy watching birds flying in the sky. But do you know they can teach us?Geese, for example, teach a very good lesson about teamwork. In the fall, Canada geese (加拿大黑雁) fly to the warm south to get away from Canada’s cold winter. They lift off in no order. Yet quickly they form (形成) a V shape with one bird leading the group.This V shape allows geese to save energy. When the lead bird moves its wings up and down, the resulting force of air lifts the next one. This continues down the line. The lead bird in front has the hardest job. When it gets tired i moves behind and another bird moves to the front. By sharing the role the group can travel great distances.During the long flying journey geese communicate with each other. They honk (鸣叫) from behind to encourage the birds up front to keep up the speed.What can we learn from the lovely geese’s experience and skills? ______6. Why do geese form a V shape while flying?A. To keep warmB. To save energy.C. To make them get tiredD. To get more food.7. Which bird in the picture works the hardest?A. aB. bC. cD. d8.

Every morning the farmer fed Bill in one corner and then fed Ben in another corner. This went on for many years. One day the farmer decided to do a little test. When the two donkeys were sleeping, the farmer tied a rope around Bill's neck. Then he tied the other end of the rope around Ben's neck. Hethen put some oats (donkeys' favourite food) in Bill's corner and in Ben's corner.When the two donkeys woke up, they were quite surprised to find a rope around their necks.

Ben walked off towards his corner.Well after 10metres, he donkeys stopped. The rope was too short. First Bill pulled hard and Ben slid away from his food. But then Ben pulled and Bill slid away from his food. This went on for hours. The donkeys were getting weaker and weaker, but still hey pulled and pulled. Then Bill had an idea. "Hey.

When I got to school today, everybody was acting all strange around me, and at first I didn’t know what was up. Then I remembered: I still had the Cheese Touch from last year. I got the Cheese Touch in the last week of school, and over the summer I forgot about it.The problem with the Cheese Touch is that you’ve got it until you can pass (传递) it on to someone else. But nobody would even get within (在……之内) 30 feet of me. Every time they saw me, they screamed “Ah~ Greg Heffley is coming!” I knew the Cheese Touch would stick with me for the whole school year. Luckily, a new kid named Jeremy Pindle was in the classroom, so I passed the Cheese Touch to him.My first class was Maths, and the teacher put me right next to Alex Aruda, the cleverest kid in the whole class. If the kids’ last names start with the first few letters of the alphabet (字母表), the teacher will call them most, and that’s why they end up being the cleverest. Some people think that’s not true, but I can show some examples to prove it. You see the picture on the left? Alex Aruda is a top student, while Christoper Ziegel is different.I can only think of one kid. He broke the last-name rule, and that’s Peter Uteger. Peter was the cleverest kid in the class all the way up until the fifth grade.When we kept saying his initials (首字母) out loud, it sounded funny. This gave Peter a difficult time. These days, Peter doesn’t put up his hand at all, and he’s pretty much a C student. I feel a little bad about the whole P.U. thing and what happened to Peter.4. What is Cheese Touch according to the passage?A. A kind of food.B. A school course.C. A piece of paper.D. A popular game.5. If someone gets the Cheese Touch, ________.A. he is dangerous to others around himB. other kids may keep away from himC. he should pass it on to someone else in a weekD. it will stick with him for the whole school year6. What did Peter Uteger think of those kids when they kept saying “P.U.!” out loud?A．Noisy and impolite.B．Active (活跃的) and strange.C．Humorous（幽默的）and excited.D．Crazy and impatient（没有耐心的）.7. What can you infer (推断) from the passage?A. Peter Uteger broke the class rule in the fifth grade.B. The kids in the class don’t play with Jeremy Pindle now.C. Christoper Ziegel is among the cleverest kids in the class.D. Jeremy Pindle got the Cheese Touch in the last week of school.三、阅读理解03阅读下面短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

译林牛津英语八年级上册【期末复习】任务型阅读理解专项练习(无答案)

译林牛津英语八年级上册期末复习任务型阅读理解专项练习（无答案）AWhat is a hurricane?You may already know that hurricanes are storms that can cause devastating(毁灭性的) waves, wind, and rain. They happen during “Hurricane Season,” which is from June 1st until November 30th in the Atlantic Ocean and from May 15th until November 30th in the Pacific Ocean.Categories(类别)of HurricanesThere are five categories of hurricanes, which are based on wind speeds. The categories help people know how much damage(危害) a hurricane may cause because the greater the wind speed, the more dangerous the storm. For example, a Category 5 hurricane has winds over 155 miles per hour, which are strong enough to destroy the buildings along the shorelines completely.Hurricane DangersWhen a hurricane happens together with heavy rainfall, there can be a devastating flood. The centre of a hurricane is called the eye. While most of a hurricane has dangerously strong winds, the eye is actually(事实上) a calm area in the storm. When the eye of a hurricane passes over land, p eople might think that it’s over, but before long the wind and rain increase again as the second part of the hurricane moves through.Hurricane Safety TipsThere is no way to stop a hurricane or make it change direction, so if you ever find yourself in the path of a hurricane, be sure to remember the following safety tips.·Be sure you have a radio, batteries, fresh dinking water, and enough food.·Tell neighbours, friends, and family members your emergency plans. Tell them where you’ll go if you need to leave your home.·If you live near the ocean, leave your home and travel to a safe place. You could stay with a friend or a family member, in a hotel/motel, or in an emergency shelter area.·Stay inside during the storm. You could be seriously injured(受伤) if you go outside.5 When a hurricane comes together with heavy rainfall, a terrible6 may happen.The eye is the 7 of a hurricane. Soon after it passes, the wind and rain increase again.Safety Tips It’s8 to stop a hurricane or change its direction.Don’t9 the safety tips if you find yourself in the path of a hurricane.Stay inside during the storm, 10 you could be seriously injured.1. 2. 3. 4. 5.6. 7. 8. 9. 10.BIn the past, man did not have to think about the protection of his environment. There were not many people on earth, and natural resources seemed to be unlimited.Today, things are different. The world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources too quickly, and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue like this, human life on earth will not survive.Everyone realizes today that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet, with modern fishing methods, more and more fish are caught. We know that if too many trees are cut down, forests will disappear and nothing will grow on the land. Yet, we continue to use bigger and more powerful machines to cut down more and more trees.We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories, we will die. However, in most countries waste products are still put into rivers or into the sea, and there are few laws to stop this.We know, too, that if the population of the world continues to rise at the present rate, in a few years, there will not be enough food.What can we do to solve these problems?If we eat more vegetables and less meat, we will easily get more food. Land that is used to grow crops can feed five times more people than land where animals are kept.The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control.Finally, if we educate people to think about the problems, we shall have a better and cleaner living place in the future.The importance of 1 the environment1. 2. 3. 4. 5.6. 7. 8. 9. 10.CWe all need a healthy environment, but we produce waster every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green life.Remember these three words; reduce, reuse and recycle.Reduce means “ use less”. Don't waste things. This sav es money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy thing, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.Reuse mean “ use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It's better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.Recycle means “ change things into something else”. Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.Title: 1 to Live a Green Life1. 2. 3. 4. 5.6. 7. 8. 9. 10.DThe haze（雾霾）season is back. How much do you know about haze? Haze can also be called “Smog”. The word "smog" is from the words “smoke” and “fog”, it first appeared in the early 20th century, It is a kind of air pollution（污染）caused（导致）mostly by cars and factories.Smog will do great harm（伤害）to your health, especially lungs（肺）.It can make you cough and cause skin and eye problems. It seems that we can do nothing to stop it, but only wait until the wind blows all the smog away. However, there are some easy ways to prevent it hurting you. Here are some of them.1. Don’t do exercise in the open.Exercising in the open makes you breathe（呼吸）deeply, and you will take in the particles（颗粒物）deep into your lungs.2. Stay indoors and keep the air clean.If you can, just stay in your room and keep the doors and windows closed. Remember to air your room twice a day, you can open the window at noon or at night for half an hour.3. Wear a mask.Paper and cotton masks can not help you in the haze weather. Some special masks, such as N95 masks, can keep you from breathing in the particles in the air.4. Change your diet.Scientists find that vitamin A, C and E can greatly help protect your eyes, nose and lungs. So eat more green vegetables and fresh fruit everyday. What’s more, do not eat food with too much fat（脂肪）,it’s bad for your lungs.1. 2. 3. 4. 5.6. 7. 8. 9. 10.EA report in a newspaper says that school accidents, such as food poisoning (食物中毒), fires, electricity and traffic, kill more primary and middle school students than anything else. So we mus t learn how to protect ourselves better. Here are some tips for keeping safety in mind every day.On our way home or to school: Wait for the green traffic light, and look left and right before we go across th e road. We’d better wear bright-color clothes, so the drivers can see us easily. Don’t believe strange people i n the street.At school: When students around us begin to push each other, we need to stand still and try to hold onto something, or stay in a corner until the crowd leaves. If we fall down in a moving crowd, use both hands to c over the head. Lean to one side, curl up (蜷缩) our body and bend (使弯曲) the legs.In a fire: Stay calm. Leave the classroom quickly under the directions of the teachers. Smoke can be more da ngerous than fire, so use a piece of cloth to cover our mouth and nose. What will we do if the clothes burn? Remember not to run! Drop and fall to the ground. Then roll! It will make the fire go out.For eating: Wash fruits carefully before eating them. Check the expiration dates (保质期) on the packages of the snacks, and if it looks or smells bad, don’t eat it.Topic: 1. safety every dayFact It’s 2. that school accidents kill m ore students than anything else.Safety Tips On the wayWait for the green light, look both sidesbefore we 3. the road.Wear bright colors.Don’t believe 4. in the street.At schoolIt’s5.___ for us to stand still and try tohold onto something, or stay in a corneruntil the crowd leaves.We’d better cover our h ead with bothhands, leaning to one side, curling up ourbody and 6. our legs.In a fireStay calm.

In the United States, two teenage girls set up a mental health camp called "Healing（治愈）Hearts" to help people deal with anxiety.The idea of creating the camp came from Dinah Martinez, 17, and her schoolmate Janet Martinez, 18. Both girls suffered from anxiety.Dinah Martinez always did well in school. "But then I just started to collapse（崩溃）,"DinahMartinez said. She stopped talking to her friends, stopped going to school for three weeks and stayed at home.Janet Martinez was anxious in elementary school. Things got even worse in junior high. "It was a lot of pressure（压力）I put on myself. I would wake up in the morning and it was like my heart was racing," she said.The girls' camp idea got support from Girls Leading Our World (GLOW) in the US. The organization awarded them $ 5,000 to put on the camp for other teenage girls.The "Healing Hearts" camp was created to "help deal with anxiety, especially with girls in high school because that’s when they are the most vulnerable（脆弱的）, "Janet Martinez said.On the first day of the camp, 10 girls were there. Experts at the camp talked about anxiety. They helped girls who were experiencing anxiety. The girls learned how to calm themselves when they are anxious. They learned about calming methods like deep breathing and guided mediation（调节）." It's good to know that someone else is going through the same thing as me and we can both help each other out," Dinah Martinez said.1. 2. 3. 4. 5.6. 7. 8. 9. 10.GA report in a newspaper says that school accidents, such as food poisoning (食物中毒), fires, electricity and traffic, kill more primary and middle school students than anything else.

Check the expiration dates (保质期) on the packages of the snacks, and if it looks or smells bad, don’t eat it.Tips: Keep 1 in mind every dayFact It’s reported that school 2 kill more students than anything elseSafety Tips On theway◆Wait for the green light, look both sides before 3 road.◆Wear bright colours.◆Don’t 4 strangers in the street.At school ◆We 5 to stand still and try to hold onto something, or stay in a corner until1. 2. 3. 4. 5.6. 7. 8. 9. 10.HHow to beat sadnessWe all have days when we are down, tired and unhappy. That’s OK. You need days like this, or how would you know you are happy? You’ll enjoy your good days even more when you have a few bad days. Even if sadne ss is a part of life, let’s try to make it small. Here are a few simple ways to help you feel better when you are feeling sad.1. Stand up straight and this helps your energy flow(流动). When your energy is flowing freely, you can flow too.2. Smile! It’s easy to do and have good results. This way can not only leave you in a good mood but also bring others a good mood.3. Listen to music. It can be your favourite music. Some kinds of music work better than others, so try and find out what kind of music works the best for you.4. Take some “me” time. You can find pleasure in reading a book, watching a sunrise or having a hot bath, or something like that.5. Exercise. Even something as simple as taking a walk will get your blood flowing. It is a great way to clear your mind of anything that makes you sad.These ways will cheer you up when you are down, but don’t just use them when you are sad. Try and practice them every day to make them a habit. You will be surprised to learn that these simple ways will keep your sadness away. But if you are in a deep depression(沮丧), go to see a doctor.Title: How to beat sadness1. 2. 3. 4. 5.6. 7.8. 9. 10.IWhat do we really mean by being open? Being open is a kind of invitation to others to come in, to speak and to share. It is important in letting others get to know how we think and feel. In this way we will be understood and accepted by others. If we aren’t open with others, we won’t fully believe in ourselves or others.Here are a few ways for you to be more open. First, make your outside behavior the same with your inside feelings and thoughts. Second, share how you really feel about something instead of just opinions. Third, try to change your questions into statements and talk in the first person so that people will understand you more easily. For example, you might say, “I feel happy that you’re here,” instead of, “Are you glad that you’re here?” Finally, try not to say, “I don’t know.” This usually means I don’t want to think about it any more.Remember also that it is not suitable to be open with everyone in every situation. You may want to be more open with close friends, but not with people you don’t know well, because you are not sure how someone else will use what they know about you. Besides, some people may not be used to too much openness. If we say everything we feel or think to them, they will feel very uncomfortable at times.In all, being open is a good way for us to get on well with other people, but we’d better keep the balance between being open and not being too open.1. 2. 3. 4. 5.6. 7. 8. 9. 10.JSome people believe that your nationality can influence your personality. This is why you might hear someone saying “She is a typical(典型的) Australian” or “He is so French”. It seems that people from a certain country share certain similar characteristics.FrenchFrench people are often seen as romantic and outgoing people with a great love for life, food and wine. They are good at singing and dancing.ChineseChinese are friendly people who are hard-working. They are polite because they are careful about “saving face” when dealing with other people.AustraliansAustralians are merry people who spend a lot of time outdoors. They enjoy a slower life. They laugh a lot but sometimes people think they are loud and rude.GermansGermans are often described as being serious and careful. They are hard workers and pay a lot of attention to details. However, sometimes people say Germans have no sense of humour.All these national types can be true for some people, but very wrong for others. For example, you might meet a German who is a confident singer with a great sense of humour, or an Australian who is shy andquiet!1. 2. 3. 4. 5.6. 7. 8. 9. 10.。

Mrs. Anne Sterling did not think of the risk she was taking when she ran through a forest after two men. They tried to steal（偷）her handbag while she was having a picnic at the edge（边缘）of a forest with her children. After getting the handbag, both men started running through the trees. Mrs. Sterling got so angry that she ran after them. When she caught up with them, they sat down and were going through the bag, so she ran straight at them. The men was so afraid that they dropped the bag and ran away. "The bag needs mending, " said Mrs. Sterling later, "but they did not steal anything. "

It grows about 50 centimeters long, not including its tail, 30 centimeters tall and weighs from 3 to 7 kilos.The Arctic foxes are white or blue in color. The white ones are white in winter, but grey-brown in summer. The blue ones are blue-grey all year round. The Arctic foxes have long, thick hair that is called fur. And the long fur covers their whole bodies, including both their cat eyes and rabbit feet, to keep them warm in the low temperature in the Arctic.The Arctic foxes feed mainly on birds, birds' eggs and other small animals. Teamwork is the way they look for food, and they don't like to do that alone.Baby Arctic foxes are very lovely. They don't open their eyes until a week after their birth. For the first half of the year, their parents offer them food. They begin to look for food on their own when they are about six months old. The next year they can live alone.Today, the number of the Arctic foxes is becoming smaller and smaller, because people kill them for their fur to make beautiful coats for money. Something must be done to protect the Arctic foxes.56.

The old man was really good at fishing and it didn't take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish. But the child shook her head. The old man was surprised and asked, "Why don't you want the fish?"The child replied, "I want the fishing rod (竿) in your hands."The old man asked," Why do you want the rod?""It doesn't take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won't be afraid of not having any more fish to eat."I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesn't know how to fish, she cannot have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod. It's useless to only have a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the most important, not the fishing rod.Too many people think that if they have a "fishing rod" in their life, they will no longer fear the wind and rain. They are just like the child, who thought that if she had a fishing rod, she would have fish to eat.61. The old man was fishing on the bank of _____.A. a streamB. a riverC. a poolD. a lake62.

The Fishing Rod答案：51-55. DBACD 56-60. CBDCA 61-65. BCBAD四．阅读理解（20分）AWill it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? A short time ago, a test was given in the United States. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfasts.The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, egg, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen more carefully.The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight(增加体重) instead of losing it. You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.( )46.

Can you tell me where there is a phone box?”“Oh,” he said, “there is a phone downstairs.”When at last we met, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me. “Don’t worry,” he said to me, “I had so many difficulties at first.

牛津译林版八年级上册期末专项复习之阅读理解（一）As winter draws near, many of the cold-blooded animals hibernate till spring comes. And everybody knows they will be awake months later, crawling and walking around and looking for food.But do you also know that some animals go to a summer sleep, which is called aestivation? Most animals are active during the summer, singing and dancing freely. The aestivation animals, however, will have a long sleep in a cool place to stay away from the dry and hot summer days.In Southeast Africa there is a kind of porcupine (豪猪).Its body is covered with sharp stings. This creature usually eats earthworms as its main food. As the hot days come, the earthworms go deep under the mud to keep themselves alive. During this time the porcupine can’t find any to live on, so it lies down to aestivate for months without eating. It comes out again when the cool autumn days arrive.An unusual kind of tree frog in South Africa will climb up a tree during the summer. Here it hides itself in a cool place to have its summer sleep.The most interesting thing about the aestivating animal is that while it sleeps, its body temperature drops just as the hibernating animal’s body temperature drops in winter.1. Why do porcupines aestivate?A. Because they are not active animals.B. Because the weather is too hot and dry.C. Because they have nothing to eat during the summer.D. Because their body temperature is not high enough.2. When does the porcupine start and end its aestivation?A. It starts in January and ends in March.B. It starts in March and ends in April.C. It starts in August and ends in October.D. It starts in November and ends in February the next year.3 Which of the following is NOT true?A. Hibernating animals are active in summer. [来源:学§科§网]B. Porcupines in Southeast Africa live mainly on earthworms.C. One kind of tree frogs in South Africa sleeps inside trees in summer.D. The body temperature of an aestivation animal in summer is as low as that in winter.4. What does the underlined w ord “hibernate” mean in Chinese?A. 觅食B. 冬眠C. 蜗居D. 隐藏（二）In America，when people say “man’s best friend”，they don’t mean another person. Instead，they are talking about a lovely animal—a dog! These words show the friendship between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give joy to people’s lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. Some pe ople even leave all their money to their pets when they die!Animals can help people，too. Dogs can be taught to be the “eyes” for a blin d person(盲人)or “ears” for a deaf(耳聋)person. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier，too. Because of that，they bring animals into hospitals for “visits”.Americans hold “Be Kind to Animals Week” in the first week o f May. Pet shows are held during the week. Even if you don’t live in America，you，too，can do this. How? First think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet，take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food.If y ou don’t have a pet，be kind to animals around you. For example，if you see a street dog，just leave it alone，or make friend s with it. If others around you do bad things to animals，try to speak up. As people，we must protect(保护)animals who can’t speak for the mselves.( ) 1.“Some people even leave all their money to their pets when they die!” is used to prove (证明) that ________.A. pets have the right(权利)to inherit(继承)moneyB. money can make pets happyC. it’s the best way to spend moneyD. some pets are as important to their owners as their children( ) 2.According(依照)to the passage，scientists bring the dogs to hospital because_______.A. they are ill and they need to see the doctorB. they can make the patients(病人)happierC. they can help the doctor find out the pr oblemsD. the doctors can do experiment(试验)on them( ) 3During the “Be Kind to Animals Week”，the people in America________.A. hold pet showsB. play with the pets the whole weekC. cook delicious food f or petsD. make friends with other people’s pets( ) 4.What is the main idea of the passage?A.A lot of people are interested in dogs.B. Dogs can help people do many things.C. Pets are lovely and need care and protection(保护).D. We have done a lot of things for pets.（三）DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in the UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY materials. TV shows also teach people how to DIY.British people like DIY. If there is anything that needs fixing around their homes, such as painting the walls or fixing the broken furniture (家具), they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY with their friends. More and more people enjoy DIY and have found the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for s aving money. At present, many people don’t have enough money to buy a big house. They are looking at how they can make their houses better without spending a lot of money. That’s why DIY is so popular.DIY can be difficult. There is a large market for DIY furniture which needs to be got together by people themselves with a few tools.

DNA is something that everybody has, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our mother and father, because we get some of their DNA to make our own.People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In 1860, Gregor Mendel discovered a special reason why we look the same as other people in our family. It is because of small things named "genes" in our body. In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick made another discovery and found out that those small parts are real messages written in the DNA with a special language.In 1961, Marshall Nirenberg and Johann Matthaei found a message in DNA showing how DNA tells the cell(细胞)to build its parts. Scientists have now found all the words in the DNA m ap, but we still do not understand what they all do. By understanding what just one "word" means, we can help save more people from several illnesses.Most people hope that this will help make better medicine and help sick people. Other people worry that when people begin to know more words and find out lots of other information, we might use it in a wrong way, just to make people more attractive, or stop sick people from getting jobs.

Make people less attractive.4.What do people think about this work?[来源:学科网]A. It can cause good or bad results.B. It can cause only good results.C. It can cause good results but won't work.D.
