高一英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 61Passage 1A South Korean man and the 21 ducklings he has been raising as his children ever since they hatched have been breaking the internet with their amazing bond. A video that recently went viral in the western world shows the cute birds following their “mother” on a mountain hike and listening to his every command.The middle-aged man, whose name is not revealed in the video, has been taking care of his 21 ducklings ever since they were eggs, making sure the incubation( 孵化) period went smoothly, and even helping the tiny birds break through their shell when it came time to hatch. He was the first thing they laid eyes on in this world, and he has remained the most important figure in their lives since.Ducklings naturally follow their mother around, and since the man was the one who acted as their mother, these birds follow him everywhere, even up a mountain. To them it’s only natural, but the middle-aged man considers it training and conditioning for the time when he finally releases them into the wild. He would love to raise them all as pets, but knows that wouldn’t be ideal for him or the birds, so he’s making sure that they are strong enough to survive in the wild.The video shows the ducks following the middle-aged man as he hikes up a mountain outside Seoul, stopping whenever he does and refusing to follow anyone else, even if they give the same “let’s go” command their human mother does. Unless they hear his voice and see him moving, they don’t budge. It’s actually quite remarkable. I mean, it’s one thing to see dogs acting like this, but ducklings? That’s something else.While it’s not clear what the man does for a living, I’m pretty sure he has a lot of experience with ducks, as at one point he reveals a certificate for “father of ducklings” dated 2005.1. What can we learn from the video?A. The ducklings just broke through their shells.B. The man accidentally saved some ducklings.C. The ducklings just obeyed the man naturally.D. The man took pride in his ducklings.2. What’s the man’s purpose of raising the ducklings?A. To make a living by performing.B. To film a video to attract attention.C. To free them into the wild one day.D. To make a contribution to a bird reserve.3. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “budge” in Paragraph 4?A. Attack.B. Move.C. End.D. Struggle.4. What can be the best title for the text?A. “Father” and “mother” of cute petsB. Man raises ducklings as his “children”C. Ducklings also regarded as good petsD. Amazing bond between man and animalsPassage 2When a big exam is coming up, you probably feel anxious about any wasted time and want to begin school as soon as you probably can.But tens of thousands of British high school students will soon be getting up later. They’re taking part in a new experiment by Oxford University to see if later classes can improve their exam results.Grades 10 students in the UK have to take the nationwide General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) exams. They have to pass these exams in order to study more advanced courses, and later apply for universities.The Oxford University project means that GCSE students from more than 100 schools across England will start school at 10 am, more than one hour later than the current start time (8:50 am).The project is based on scientific evidence that teenagers are “out of sync(同步)” with traditional school hours, the Telegraph reported. And what they need is more sleep in the morning.“We know that something funny happens when you’re a teenager, in that you seem to be out of sync with the world,” said professor Colin Epsie, who is leading the study. “Your parents think it’s because you are lazy and opinionated（固执己见的）and everything will be OK if you could get to sleep earlier. But science is telling us that teenagers need to sleep more in the mornings.”Everyone follows a natural cycle of sleep and wakefulness. Biology has decided that teenagers go to sleep around midnight and don’t feel fully awake until 9-10 am,according to scientists. That’s two hours later than adults. And their body clocks stay like this until the age of around 21 for males, and 19 for females.“Society provides school for learning, but the brain provides sleep. So we are exploring the possibility that if you delay the schools start time until 10 am, that will improve learning performance,” said Epsie.The results could be positive, based on previous studies.An early study at the UK’s Monkseaton High School in 2009 found that starting an hour later improved grades in core subjects by 19 percent.The Oxford project is expecting to publish the results in 2012. It’s time to wait and see whether scientists will give us an excuse to get up late.1. According to the article, students who take part in the Oxford University project_______.A. will start school one hour earlierB. will be guaranteed more sleeping time in the morningC. will perform better academically than those who don’t participateD. will no longer have to take GCSE exams2. We can infer from the article that ________.A. children and adults have different natural cycles of sleep and wakefulnessB. getting up late is a sign of laziness in the eyes of most British parentsC. the Oxford University project is targeted at all British high schoolsD. there is still no scientific evidence that supports a late school start time3. What is the author’s attitude toward the Oxford University project?A. CriticalB. UninterestedC. OptimisticD. Doubtful4. What’s the best title of the article?A. It’s never too late to learnB. An excuse to get up lateC. The later you get up, the better you’ll learnD. Wake up late to excelPassage 3During my elementary school years, I used to compare my mom with my best friend Tiffany's mom.Tiffany's mom always gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food. Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked. I really admired Tiffany. My mom didn't give me much pocket money and she always told me that I should behave myself. I was annoyed with her.Whenever I didn't get what I wanted, I would complain to my mom, Tiffany's mom would give her that! I wish she were my mom. Every time, my mom would calmly say "Poor Tiffany". I couldn't understand her. "She shouldn't be feeling sorry for Tiffany!"I thought. "She should be feeling sorry for me. "One day, I couldn't help saying to Mom, "Poor Tiffany? Lucky Tiffany!

I have been teaching you a lesson that she will never be taught. "I looked up at her. "What are you talking about? "Mom said with care, "One day she will really want something. Maybe she'll findout that she can't have it. Her mother won't always be around to give her money, and what's more, money can't buy everything. "She continued, "I have taught you valuable lessons by not giving you everything you want. You'll know how to look for bargains and save money but she won't. You'll understand that you need to work hard to get the things that you want but she won't. When Tiffany is a grown woman, she'll wake up one day and she will be wishing that she had a momlike the one you've got. Life lessons are more important than modern clothes and delicious food.

The people of ancient Egypt began their New Year in summer. That is when the Nile River flooded its banks bringing water and fertility（肥沃）to the land. The people of ancient Babylon and Persia began their New Year on March 21, the first day of spring. And some native American Indians began their New Year when the nuts of the oak trees became ripe. That was usually in late summer.Noise-making is another ancient custom on the New Year. The noise is considered necessary to drive away the evil spirits of the old year. People around the world do different things to make a lot of noise. They may hit sticks together, beat on drums, blow horns, or explode fire-works.Americans celebrate the New Year in many ways. Most do not have to go to work or school. So they visit family and friends, attend church services, share a holiday meal, or watch New Year’s parades（游行）on television.

This one was worn and held together with staples（书钉）.“Why two bags? ”Her father asked. “The other is something else,” Molly answered.“What’s in it? ” “Just some stuff（东西）. Take it with you.”Not wanting to discuss the matter, he put both sacks into his briefcase, kissed Molly and rushed off. At midday he opened Molly’s bag and took out the contents：two hair ribbons, three small stones, a plastic dinosaur, a tiny sea shell, a small doll, and 13 pennies. . . The busy father smiled, finished eating, and swept the desk clean into the wastebasket, Molly’s stuff included.That evening, Molly ran up behind him as he read the paper. “Where’s my bag? ” “What bag? ” “The one I gave you this morning.” “I left it at the office.

[全]牛津译林版-八年级英语上册阅读理解专项强化训练题含答案

牛津译林版八年级英语上册阅读理解专项强化训练题含答案Most people think that they don't have the power to change the world. Do we have the power to impact (影响) other people in our lives? The 1946 US film It's A Wonderful Life tells us the answer. In the film, everyone has his or her own guardian (守护) angel. It starts with George Bailey, a man who has given up on his dream and wants to kill himself on Christmas Eve because of financial (财务的) difficulties. This draws the attention of his guardian angel, Clarence Odbody. The angel shows Bailey how different life would be for his family and his community if he wasn't around. When Bailey was 12, for example, his brother Harry fell through ice and Bailey jumped into the freezing (冰冻的) water to save him. If Bailey had not been there, Harry would have died and would never have become a war hero. This movie teaches people a lesson about the power of kindness. Bailey sacrifices (牺牲) a lot of things for the welfare (福利) of the town. He also tries to help people living in the townachieve (实现) their goal of having their own houses. Bailey's kindness is repaid in the end when almost everyone in the town comes and helps him through his troubles.1. Which film is the story about?______________________________________3. What did Clarence Odbody do to saveBailey?______________________________________4. What is Paragraph 3 mainly6. What can we learn from the film?______________________________________Huge squares, great buildings and countless treasures (珍宝) –the Forbidden City never fails to take its visitors' breath away. This year, theworld's largest wooden palace is 600 years old! Have you ever wondered who made this marvel (奇迹)? In 1406, when the Ming Emperor Yongle decided to move the country's capital from Nanjing to Beijing, he started to build a palace at the heart of Beijing. His vision 愿(景) was big. It took a million workers 14 years to finish it. Materials were sent from all over China to Beijing. Nanmu, the rarest of all Chinese woods, was used to make huge wooden pillars (柱子). It can only be found deep in forests over 1,800 km away from Beijing. Workers had to float (漂浮) the wood on rivers all the way north to Beijing. Stones were also transported to the palace. The heaviest stone in the Forbidden City weighs 250 tons. It was found 80 km west of Beijing. It was so heavy that people could only move it during winter. They poured water onto the road to create ice. Then thousands of workers pulled the stone on the ice to the palace. The project even changed the local landscape (地貌). While building a moat (护城河) around the palace, workers dug up soil and piled it on a hill north of the Forbidden City. That's where Jingshan (景山) came from.1. What can't we learn from Paragraph 3?A. How long it took to build the Forbidden City.B. Who decided to build the Forbidden City.C. Where the Forbidden City was built.D. How the Forbidden City got its name.2. Paragraph 4 mainly shows that _____.A. North China had few treesB. some building materials came from far awayC. Chinese people were hard-working in the pastD. river transportation started in ancient times3. Workers transported stones in winter because _____.A. the icy rivers helped them transport stonesB. winter is the best season to make carvingsC. stones are lighter when they're frozenD. they had to use ice to move the stones4. What do we know about Jingshan?A. It was built with soil from the palace.B. It was part of the Forbidden City.C. It was moved in order to build a moat.D. It was there before the Forbidden City.5. The process of building the Forbidden City was _____.A. simpleB. difficultC. smoothD. dangerousBurger pizza? Korean tacos (墨西哥卷饼)? These might sound a bit strange to you, but they're just some examples of what we call "fusion food" (无国界料理). Fusion foods are dishes that combine (结合) two or more different kinds of food into one dish. For example, the burger pizzahas a normal pizza crust (面饼), but instead of putting pepperoni (意大利香肠) and vegetables on top of the cheese, you add ground beef (like you would use to make a burger), ketchup, lettuce and tomato. Fusion restaurants are popular in a lot of big US cities. In fact, they are often seen as trendy (流行的), since they try to be creative when combining different foods. Fusion food usually combines dishes that are from different parts of the world. For example, Korean tacos are tortillas (墨西哥薄饼) that are filled with kimchi (韩国泡菜). There aren't many fusion restaurants in China yet. A person from Dongbei could probably never imagine combining their food with Sichuan dishes. However, I have tried kaoya pizza in Beijing. I have to say, it wasn't too bad!1. What is fusion food?A. A type of foreign food.B. A strangely-named food.C. A kind of smelly food.D. It is a combination of cuisines.2. Paragraph 2 shows an example of _____A. how to make a kaoya pizzaB. the writer's favorite fusion foodC. how fusion food is madeD. the most delicious fusion food3. What do we know about fusion food?A. Fusion restaurants are common in Mexico.B. Chinese people don't like to eat fusion food.C. It usually combines foods from different countries.D. People like fusion food because it is easy to cook.4. What might the writer think of fusion food?A. It is terrible.B. It is not too bad.C. It is not worth trying.D. It is tasty.In 1969, the US became the first country to put a man on the moon. Fifty-five years later, it is expecting to become the first to put a woman there as well. NASA recently said that its Artemis program (阿耳特弥斯计划) will send a woman to the moon in 2024. It will be a great achievement to send a woman to the moon for the first time. But what happens when women go into space? Can they handle it as well as －or maybe even better －than men? The answer is a little bit of both, according to Varsha Jain, who works closely with NASA. On one hand, women are more likely to feel sick when going into space －however, men are more likely to feel sick when returning Earth. Women tend to (倾向于) have blood pressure (血压) problems when they return to Earth, while men tend to have vision (视力) and hearing problems instead. These differences may come from their different hormonal balances (荷尔蒙平衡) or body changes. However, a specific (具体的) cause is still unknown. Women also have some advantages in space. For one thing, they tend to be smaller, which means they use less oxygen (氧气) and take up less space in small spacecraft. Also, women often have better communicationskills than men, which makes them better-suited (更适应) for long spaceflights.1. What do we know about the Artemis program?A. It put a human on the moon in 1969.B. It will send a woman to the moon.C. It will be the second time for us to visit the moon.D. It will take place 55 years from now.2. After returning from space, female astronauts _____.A. might feel sicker than menB. might have blood pressure problemsC. might have hearing problemsD. might have vision problems3.The advantages of sending women into space include _____.a. they use less oxygenb. they take up less spacec. they have better communication skillsd. they have higher hormone levels than menA. abc B. abd C. acd D. bcd4. From the story, we can learn that _____.A. women act similarly to men in spaceB. men are not suited to live on the moon C. women have some advantages when traveling in spaceD. women are better astronauts than menDay 5One day, a teacher entered his classroom, handed out test papers and asked his students to 1 .

[全]牛津译林版八年级英语上册阅读理解专项强化训练题含答案

牛津译林版八年级英语上册阅读理解专项强化训练题含答案Day 1Kids are getting too fatMore children in China are putting on weight. In 2018, 16 percent of Chinese children and teenagers were overweight or obese (肥胖的), according to the National Health Commission. Being too fat is bad for children's health. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), overweight and obese children are more likely to develop diseases like diabetes (糖尿病) at a younger age. This can lead to a higher chance of premature (过早的) death. On Oct 23, the National Health Commission, together with five other national departments (部门), worked out a plan to prevent and control obesity. The plan aims to cut the average annual (每年的) growth rate of obesity among children aged 0-18 years by 70 percent from 2020 to 2030, Xinhua reported. Kids are putting on weight because of changes in their diet and lifestyle, according to experts. Too much schoolwork and greater use of electronic devices (电子产品) could also be a cause. According to the plan, teachers should not allow their classes to run too late or too early. They should make sure that students have breaks and enough physical activity. Primary and secondary schoolstudents should have at least three hours of vigorous (剧烈的) physical activity each week. Parents should reduce their children's use of electronic devices and stop their children from eating foods that are high in sugar, fat and salt.1. Paragraph 2 is about _____.A. a recent WHO reportB. the causes of childhood obesityC. Chinese children's obesity rateD. the effects of being too fat2. The NHC worked out the plan to _____.A. improve students' PE scoresB. stop children from getting sickC. stop children from getting fatD. encourage children to live happily3. The plan suggests that schools should _____.A. give children more time to exerciseB. stop children from using electronic devicesC. stop children from eating junk foodD. force obese children to lose weight4. What is the story mainly about?A. Chinese people's health conditions.B. Why Chinese children love junk food.C. What Chinese students do during their breaks.D. Action that China is taking to reduce childhood obesity.Day 2Victoria opens upOct 26 was a big day for people in Victoria, the second most populated state in Australia. Following a drop in new COVID-19 cases, the premier (州长) of Victoria lifted (撤销) one of the longest lockdowns in the world –nearly five months. Starting from Oct 28, we were allowed to leave our homes and go back to normal. The premier even shared a happy face with a doughnut (甜甜圈) on Facebook. Restaurants and bars were quickly filled. Stores were crowded with shoppers. And we were no longer stuck in our homes. The funniest part was that there was a long line in front of every barbershop. All of the men whose hair had been growing wildly for months were finally able to get a haircut. They could say goodbye to their sloppy selves (邋遢的自己). Last weekend, I went out to meet up with my friend. As we held hands and walked past eachfamiliar (熟悉的) store, I felt like the past months had been a dream. But something did change. We put on weight, menus were changed and hand sanitizer (洗手液) was everywhere. They reminded us that the world had been turned upside-down (天翻地覆) in 2020. We deserve to celebrate a bit, but we still need to be careful, as the virus is still spreading. All we can do is to recover (恢复) from it and live with it.1. Why was Oct 26 a big day for people inVictoria?______________________________________2. How long did Victoria's lockdown last?_______________________________________3. What did people in Victoria do after the lockdown waslifted?_______________________________________4. Why were there long lines in front of barbershops?_______________________________________5. How did the writer feel after going out with herfriend?_______________________________________6. What does the writer remind us about at the end of herstory?_______________________________________Day 3Recess and lunch are our big breaksAs a Chinese student, you probably have morning exercises at school each day. We don't have this in US schools. I found out about this cultural difference the first day I was in China. My first apartment (公寓) was right next to an elementary school (小学) and I saw the students doing their morning exercises. In the US, however, only elementary (from kindergarten to 4th grade) and middle school (5th –6th grade) students have exercise time like this. We call it "recess (课间休息)". It's a short daily play period (30 to 45 minutes) where we can play on the playground. My friends and I would play kickball (美式足垒球) and build forts (堡垒) out of big tree branches (树枝) that we found in the woods next to our playground. And in winter, we would sled down (乘雪橇滑下) a big icy hill behind our school. In junior high (7th –8th grade) and high school (9th –12th grade), things are different. We have to move between many different classrooms, as each subject has a different teacher and a different classroom. We have a few minutes between each class to get our books and chat a bit –but only a few minutes. We're in class almost the entire (全部的) time we're at school. Except for (除了) our one big break –lunch. Junior high and high school students get as much as an hour, sometimes even a little more, to eat and hang out. In my school, older students (grades 11 and 12) were even allowed to go off-campus (离开学校) for meals. Those who had driver's licenses and cars could drivearound our town, listening to music and eating fast food. It was a fun break in the middle of those long school days.1. What did the writer learn just after moving to China? A. Students do morning exercises at school.B. Students have long breaks between classes.C. Chinese kids are good at sports.D. Chinese kids like to do morning exercises.2. Paragraph 2 is mainly about _____.A. why the writer liked recess as a childB. what recess in the US is likeC. how US students do their morning exercisesD. what the writer's favorite exercise is3. In the US, students in grades 7 to 12 don't have recess because _____.A. they have little time between classesB. they are no more interested in exercisingC. they have to do homework during their breaksD. they can exercise during PE class instead4. From the last paragraph, we know that _____.A. US students have their lunch at schoolB. US students don't eat much during lunchC. the older students get, the busier they areD. high school students get a long lunch breakDay 4Is anybody out there?When you look into the night sky, you might not think that there's someone out there looking right back at you. But a new study says that there are more than 1,000 stars (恒星) in direct (直接的) line of sight to Earth that might have life. That is to say, life on the planets that orbit (绕轨道运行) these stars would also be able to see our planet. There might be aliens watching us! Lisa Kaltenegger, the lead author (主要作者) of the study, said we can see some of these stars from right here on Earth without telescopes (望远镜). Kaltenegger found that there are about 1,000 stars that are not only close enough for us to see, but also have some of the same qualities (特质) as our own sun. For now, we have no idea if there really is life on the planets that orbit these stars. However,researchers will be able to start scanning (扫描) the atmospheres (大气) of these planets with the help of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope next year. The scans could turn up signs (迹象) of life on these planets. "Ifwe're looking for intelligent life (智慧生物) in the universe that could find us and might want to get in touch, we've just created the star map of where we should look first," Kaltenegger said.1. Which of the following is TRUE?A. There are aliens in outer space.B. There are over 1,000 stars that directly face Earth.C. We cannot see any stars without telescopes.D. There is life on the planets that orbit some stars.2. Life might exist on planets near some of the stars because _____.A. the stars are similar to our sunB. the stars are close to EarthC. we can see the stars without telescopesD. the stars have similar atmospheres to Earth3. To see if there is life on other planets, scientists _____.A. will send spacecraft to find signs of lifeB. will use a telescope to scan for signs of lifeC. will scan the atmospheres of the starsD. will help NASA invent new telescopes4. What do we know from the last paragraph?A. It's important to look for life in space.B. We need to create a star map for the whole universe.C. There must be intelligent life in the universe.D. The stars we've discovered might help us find life in space.Day 5More than 700 years ago, Scotland was fighting with England. The King of England wanted to control Scotland. He had a strong army (军队), so it was 1 for the Scots to fight back. Scotland lost many battles. Eventually, King Robert of Scotland had to 2 from the English army. One rainy day, King Robert 3 in a cave (洞穴). He thought that he was not good enough to be the king. He was so 4 that he didn't even see the spider near him. He looked up when he saw the spider climbing. It was trying to climb up to its web (蛛网) at the top of the cave, but it 5 . "How sad!" thought King Robert. "The spider is like me.

But the spider tried again and again. King Robert watched while it slowly climbed back to its web. After an hour, the spider 8 the web. "You are really great," the king said. "If you can keep trying, I can too. I must carry on fighting."Then the king's army grew stronger and successfully 9 the English army. Nobody knows if this is a true story.

This passage is mainly about ―________‖.A. How to use ComputersB. Surfing on the InternetC. Information on the InternetD. Internet Safety RulesBDo you know why different animals or pests (昆虫) have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life, you‘ll find the main use of coloring is to protect th emselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they have the colors much like the trees.Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind ofvery black liquid (液体)when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over (散开), its enemies (敌人)cannot find it. And it immediately swims away.

He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney‘s cartoon(动画片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash‘s voice, he said‖Stop! That‘s our duck!‖The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the firm The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight – minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper (发脾气) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey‘s eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn‘t a goody-goody like Mickey.In the 1930S, ‗ 40s and ‗ 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home.

It‘s a monster!‖ They sent for all the doctors in the country and ordered them to prepare some medicine for her.―When she drinks your medicine, she must grow to the right size and have hair and teeth,‖ the king said, ―If you don‘t do this, you‘ll have a beating.‖The doctors thought it impossible, but they dared not say anything against the king‘s order. Just then and old doctor stepped forward. ―Oh, we shall certainly obey your order,‖ he said, ―but it takes time. We have to dig a mineral from the KunLun Mountains when the snow melts for the second time. The snow melts on those mountains only once in six years.

高二英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 62

高二英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 62Passage 1Children moving from primary to secondary school are ill-equipped to deal with the impact of social media, as it is playing an increasingly important role in their lives and exposing them to significant emotional risk, according to a recent report by the Office of the Children’s Commissioner for England.The report shows that many children in year 7 -- the first year of secondary school, when almost all students will have a phone and be active on social media -- feel under pressure to be constantly connected.They worry about their online image, particularly when they start to follow celebrities on Instagram and other platforms. They are also concerned about “sharenting” -- when parents post pictures of them on social media without their permission – and worry that their parents won’t listen if they ask them to take pictures down.The report, which was created with data from focus group interviews with 8 to 12-year-olds, says that although most social media sites have an official age limit of 13, an estimated 75 percent of 10 to 12-year-olds have a social media account.Some children are almost addicted to “likes”, the report says. Aaron, an 11-year-old in year 7, told researchers, “If I got 150 likes, I’d be like, that’s pretty cool, it means they like you.” Some children described feelinginferior(差的) to those they follow on social media. Aimee, also 11, said, “You might compare yourself because you’re not very pretty compared to them.”Children’s Commissioner for England Anne Longfield is calling on parents and teachers to do more to prepare children for the emotional impact of social media as they get older. She wants to see the introduction of compulsory digital literacy and online resilience (适应力) lessons for students in year 6 and 7.“It is also clear that social media companies are still not doing enough to stop under-13s using their platforms in the first place,” Longfield said.“Just because a child has learned the safety messages at primary school does not mean they are prepared for all the challenges that social media will present,” Longfield said.“It means a bigger role for schools in making sure children are prepared for the emotional demands of social media. And it means social media companies need to take more responsibility,” Longfield said.1. What does this text mainly tell us?A. Children are not entirely able to handle the impact of social media.B. Social media occupies too much time for secondary school freshmen.C. Many secondary school freshmen suffer from social media-related stress.D. An increasing number of children in year 7 are being exposed to social media.2. Some students in year 7 are concerned _____________ .A. about becoming addicted to social mediaB. about how they are seen on social media sitesC. that their parents won’t allow them to post picturesD. that their parents will monitor their use of social media3. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?A. their followersB. children of the same ageC. their parentsD. celebrities they follow4. Anne Longfield suggests that ______.A. parents monitor how their children use social mediaB. social media companies set an official age limit of 13C. schools help equip students for the challenges of social mediaD. social media companies create special sites for children under 13Passage 2Imagine a cat that does not need someone to clean up after it keeps an older person company and help them remember to take their medicine. That is the shared dream of the toy maker Hasbro and scientists at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. The researchers received a $3-million-dollar award from the National Science Foundation for a special project. They want to find ways to add artificial intelligence, or A. I., to Hasbro’s “Joy for All” robotic cat.The cat has already been for sale for two years. Though priced over 1000 dollars, it sold quite well. It was meant to act as a “companion” for older people. Now the project is aimed at developing additional abilities for the cat. Researchers at Brown’s Humanity-Centered Robotics Initiative are working to decide which activities older adults may need the most. They hope to make the cat perform a small number of activities very well. Such activities includefinding lost objects and reminding the person to take medicine or visit their doctor. They also want to keep the cost down to just a few hundred dollars.It is an idea that has appealed to Jeanne Elliott. Her 93-year-old mother Mary Derr lives with her in South Kingstown. Derr has dementia (痴呆). The Joy for All cat that Elliott bought this year has become a true companion for Derr. The cat stays with Derr and keeps her calm while Eliot is at work. Elliott said a robotic cat that helps her mother to remember to take her medicine and be careful when she walks would be greater.The researchers are trying to learn how the improved cats will complete helpful activities and how they will communicate. They say that they do not want a talking cat, however. Instead they are trying to design a cat that can move its head in a special way to successfully communicate its message. In the end, they hope to create an exchange between the human and the cat in which the human feels the cat needs them. By doing so, the researchers hope they can even help prevent feelings of loneliness andsadness among elderly people.1. What’s the purpose of the project?A. To relieve the pain of the elderly.B. To promote the sales of a medicine.C. To help make the robotic cat smarter.D. To invent a robotic cat for the elderly.2. Compared with the old model, the new robotic cat will be ________.A. cheaperB. smallerC. more talkativeD. more expensive3. What does Paragraph 3 intend to tell us?A. The more functions of the cat, the better.B. The cat gives much help to the elderly.C. There is no cure for dementia at present.D. Mary Derr would have died without the cat.4. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. A talking cat is quite popular among the elderly.B. Feelings of sadness among the elderly are unavoidable.C. Each family can afford such a cat in the future.D. The feeling of being needed is vital to the elderly.Passage 3For Canaan Elementary’s second grade in Patchogue, N.Y., today is speech day, and right now it’s Chris Palaez’s turn. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.But he’s nervous. “I’m here to tell you today why you should … should…” Chris trips on the “-ld,” a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher, Thomas Whaley, is next to him, whispering support. “…V ote for …me …” Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion, Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.A son of immigrants, Chris stared learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls(回想起) how at the beginning of the year, when called upon to read, Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. “It takes a lot for any student,” Whaley explains, “especially for a student who is learning English as their new language, to feel confident enough to say, ‘I don’t know, but I want to know.’”Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says theproject is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast(夸耀) about themselves.“Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities,” Whaley says, “is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”1. What made Chris nervous?A. Telling a story.B. Making a speech.C. Taking a test.D. Answering a question.2. What does the underlined word “stumbles” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Improper pauses.B. Bad manners.C. Spelling mistakes.D. Silly jokes.3. We can infer that the purpose of Whaley’s project is to _________.A. help students see their own strengthsB. assess students’ public speaking skillsC. prepare students for their future jobsD. inspire students’ love for politics4. Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher?A. Humorous.B. Ambitious.C. Caring.D. Demanding.Passage 4I had been working for a company in Australia for more than ten years.I had just found a better job and I knew that the manager would be disappointed when I was leaving I recently became friends with a youngman who had just migrated (移民) to Australia to escape war in his homeland.

[全]牛津译林版-八年级英语上册阅读理解专项强化训练题含答案

牛津译林版八年级英语上册阅读理解专项强化训练题含答案Day 1Each of us has something to offer to othersMost people think that they don't have the power to change the world. Do we have the power to impact (影响) other people in our lives? The 1946 US film It's A Wonderful Life tells us the answer. In the film, everyone has his or her own guardian (守护) angel. It starts with George Bailey, a man who has given up on his dream and wants to kill himself on Christmas Eve because of financial (财务的) difficulties. This draws the attention of his guardian angel, Clarence Odbody. The angel shows Bailey how different life would be for his family and his community if he wasn't around. When Bailey was 12, for example, his brother Harry fell through ice and Bailey jumped into the freezing (冰冻的) water to save him. If Bailey had not been there, Harry would have died and would never have become a war hero. This movie teaches people a lesson about the power of kindness. Bailey sacrifices (牺牲) a lot of things for the welfare (福利) of the town. He also tries to help people living in the townachieve (实现) their goal of having their own houses. Bailey's kindness is repaid in the end when almost everyone in the town comes and helps him through his troubles.1. Which film is the story about?______________________________________2. Why did George Bailey want to killhimself?______________________________________3. What did Clarence Odbody do to saveBailey?______________________________________4. What is Paragraph 3 mainlyabout?______________________________________5. What happened to Bailey in theend?______________________________________6. What can we learn from the film?______________________________________ Day 2'City' in a cityHuge squares, great buildings and countless treasures (珍宝) –the Forbidden City never fails to take its visitors' breath away. This year, theworld's largest wooden palace is 600 years old! Have you ever wondered who made this marvel (奇迹)? In 1406, when the Ming Emperor Yongle decided to move the country's capital from Nanjing to Beijing, he started to build a palace at the heart of Beijing. His vision (愿景) was big. It took a million workers 14 years to finish it. Materials were sent from all over China to Beijing. Nanmu, the rarest of all Chinese woods, was used to make huge wooden pillars (柱子). It can only be found deep in forests over 1,800 km away from Beijing. Workers had to float (漂浮) the wood on rivers all the way north to Beijing. Stones were also transported to the palace. The heaviest stone in the Forbidden City weighs 250 tons. It was found 80 km west of Beijing. It was so heavy that people could only move it during winter. They poured water onto the road to create ice. Then thousands of workers pulled the stone on the ice to the palace. The project even changed the local landscape (地貌). While building a moat (护城河) around the palace, workers dug up soil and piled it on a hill north of the Forbidden City. That's where Jingshan (景山) came from. 1. What can't we learn from Paragraph 3?A. How long it took to build the Forbidden City.B. Who decided to build the Forbidden City.C. Where the Forbidden City was built.D. How the Forbidden City got its name.2. Paragraph 4 mainly shows that _____.A. North China had few treesB. some building materials came from far awayC.

The process of building the Forbidden City was _____.A. simpleB. difficultC. smoothD. dangerousDay 3Fusion food brings countries togetherBurger pizza? Korean tacos (墨西哥卷饼)? These might sound a bit strange to you, but they're just some examples of what we call "fusion food" (无国界料理). Fusion foods are dishes that combine (结合) two or more different kinds of food into one dish. For example, the burger pizzahas a normal pizza crust (面饼), but instead of putting pepperoni (意大利香肠) and vegetables on top of the cheese, you add ground beef (like you would use to make a burger), ketchup, lettuce and tomato. Fusion restaurants are popular in a lot of big US cities. In fact, they are often seen as trendy (流行的), since they try to be creative when combining different foods. Fusion food usually combines dishes that are from different parts of the world. For example, Korean tacos are tortillas (墨西哥薄饼) that are filled with kimchi (韩国泡菜). There aren't many fusion restaurants in China yet. A person from Dongbei could probably never imagine combining their food with Sichuan dishes. However, I have tried kaoya pizza in Beijing. I have to say, it wasn't too bad!1. What is fusion food?A. A type of foreign food.B. A strangely-named food.C. A kind of smelly food.D. It is a combination of cuisines.2. Paragraph 2 shows an example of _____A. how to make a kaoya pizzaB. the writer's favorite fusion foodC. how fusion food is madeD. the most delicious fusion food3. What do we know about fusion food?A.

What might the writer think of fusion food?A. It is terrible.B. It is not too bad.C. It is not worth trying.D. It is tasty.Day 4Women take to spaceIn 1969, the US became the first country to put a man on the moon. Fifty-five years later, it is expecting to become the first to put a woman there as well. NASA recently said that its Artemis program (阿耳特弥斯计划) will send a woman to the moon in 2024. It will be a great achievement to send a woman to the moon for the first time. But what happens when women go into space? Can they handle it as well as －or maybe even better －than men? The answer is a little bit of both, according to Varsha Jain, who works closely with NASA. On one hand, women are more likely to feel sick when going into space －however, men are more likely to feel sick when returning Earth. Women tend to (倾向于) have blood pressure (血压) problems when they return to Earth, while men tend to have vision (视力) and hearing problems instead. These differences may come from their different hormonal balances (荷尔蒙平衡) or body changes. However, a specific (具体的) cause is still unknown. Women also have some advantages in space. For one thing, they tend to be smaller, which means they use less oxygen (氧气) and take up less space in small spacecraft. Also, women often have better communicationskills than men, which makes them better-suited (更适应) for long spaceflights.1. What do we know about the Artemis program?A. It put a human on the moon in 1969.B. It will send a woman to the moon.C. It will be the second time for us to visit the moon.D. It will take place 55 years from now.2.

Some young people go to other countries and work as volunteers.Volunteers give their time to help people. For example, they work in schools or hospitals, or they do something helpful for the environment.Paul, 18, comes from Wales. Next year he wants to go to university to study Chinese, but now he's living in Belize. Paul says, "I'm working with other people here to save the coral reefs (珊瑚礁) in the sea near Belize. The reefs here are beautiful, but if the sea water is polluted badly, the coral will die. I'm helping to do study on the coral and the fish that live around the reefs. All over the world, coral reefs are dying. We need to do something about the problem before it's too late. I'm staying with a family here. I help do some housework.

Now 14, this homeschooled student from Florida has helped to protect Florida's natural resources (资源). Several months ago, she asked to cut hunting as a way to save bears. She also asked to protect Split Oak Forest from a road building plan."Just because kids can't vote (投票) doesn't mean we don't care," she said. "Just because kids aren't doctors or lawyers yet doesn't mean our voices aren't significant."In the matter of Split Oak Forest, Sorbo once wrote to the mayor (市长), saying the road would harm the environment.Though the project went on, the mayor praised her effort. "We like your passion(热情) for the community," he said.Sorbo's mother, Tina Sorbo, believes her daughter's bravery comes from a trip that she took to the forest for a homeschool lesson at age 7. Sorbo saw a hunter who was killing bears. Seeing the animals in pain made her quite upset.Sorbo has also called on people to use bear-resistant iron bins that will make bears less likely to trouble humans in their homes. "Small things can add up to make something big," she said.1.Megan Sorbo has offered to help in Florida _____.A.protect natural resourcesB.build roadsC.raise bears2.The underlined word "significant" in the second paragraph means "_____" in Chinese.A.重要的B.微小的C.忽视的3.The mayor praised Megan Sorbo because _____.A.she gave the government useful adviceB.she was good at protecting the environmentC.she did something for her community actively4.Megan Sorbo would probably agree that _____.A.kids should try to go on trips a lotB.kids should do something for the environmentC.kids should learn more knowledge of nature5.The best title of the passage is "_____".A.Bears and forests in the communityB.A project to protect and forestsC.A teenage girl who about the environment（三）Thousands of years ago, Britain was covered by thick forests, home to many animals which no longer live in the United Kingdom. There were wolves and bears, many different kinds of deer and large wild cows. There were less than four million people. They lived in small villages protected by wooden walls from the animals outside.All this has changed, of course. Now the population of the United Kingdom has increased to sixty-five million. Three-quarters of Britain is covered with fields, towns or cities. Although 25 percent of land is countryside, new methods of farming mean that there are fewer birds and small animals living in fields than ever before. The United Kingdom is one of the few countries in the world that does not have a large wild animal that eats meat. In Scotland there are only 400 wildcats, but these are much smaller than wolves.Some people would like to change things, however! Some organizations and writers say that Britain needs to become more natural again. They suggest that trees and plants that grew in the UK before towns and cities were built should be allowed to grow again. They even say that large wild animals which have not lived in the UK should be helped to return and live wild. They call this "rewilding".Not everyone agrees. In the last twenty years, over one million trees which at first grew in Scotland have been planted and there are plans for more—but wild animals? Some people ask if wolves will attack sheep or even humans. They are also angry that rewilding might mean an end to walking in the hills which so many people enjoy. So far there are no wolves or bears in Britain's forests—but soon there might be!1.What was the population of the UK thousands of years ago?A. About 25 million.B. Over 65 million.C. More than 61 million.D. Not more than four million.2.Why are there fewer birds and small animals in fields in the UK?A. Because more trees have been planted.B. Because there are more large wild animals.C. Because pollution is much worse than before.D. Because people use new methods of farming.3.Which paragraph gives opinions from "rewilding" supporters?A. Paragraph 1.B. Paragraph 2.C. Paragraph 3.D. Paragraph 4.4.What are some people against?A. Living closer to nature.B. Planting more and more trees.C. Helping large wild animals return.D. Building more villages and towns.5.What's the best title for the text?A. Making Britain wild againB. A trip to wild BritainC. An introduction to BritainD. Protecting the environment（四）Pandas are in danger now. There are some reasons (原因) for this. One is that pandas are losing their homes. People cut down pandas' bamboo forests to make towns and cities. Another is that pandas have few baby pandas. Pandas have another big problem. A new report shows that there isn't much bamboo because of climate (气候) change. Bamboo is almost the only food pandas eat. An adult panda needs around 38 kilograms of bamboo every day.The study shows that nearly all the bamboo in China's Qinling Mountains may disappear (消失) one day because of climate change. Pandas will have nothing to eat. Scientist Liu Jianguo said that we must help pandas now, "It is difficult, but I think there's still hope, if we start now." Panda lovers feel sad about the bad news. Panda expert (专家) Chang Leng said it is time for the world to wake up and help pandas.(1).Which isn't the reason for pandas in danger?A.People cut down many pandas' bamboo forests.B.Pandas have few babies.C.People can't save them well.D.They can't find a lot of food.(2).People cut down much bamboo to ____ .A.make towns and citiesB.make bamboo modelsC.make bamboo forestsD.make food for people(3).An adult panda needs about ____ kilograms of bamboo every day.A.21B. 28C.38D.48(4).How do panda lovers feel about the bad news?A.Happy.B.Sad.C.Angry.D.Excited.(5).What's the main idea (主题) of Paragraph(段落)2?A.All the bamboo in China's Qinling Mountains disappears.B.The climate of the world is changing.C.We should start to protect pandas.D.Pandas should move to other countries.（五）The world uses about a thousand million(百万) tons of water a day. Water is a human right and everyone should have their share. Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water.Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us. And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans. 80% of wastewater around the world is not treated at all, and it is running into oceans. But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the wastewater.While 75% of our planet is covered with water, only about 2% is fresh water—that comes from rivers, lakes, ice and snow. The rest, 98% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty to drink. Then desalination businesses come in. More than 19,000 factories have been built around the world, mostly in coastal countries. They process (加工) more than 92 million tons of water every day. But the technology they use requires a lot of energy.Scientists are working to create a less costly technology. They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough. But for now, the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone.1.How many people have trouble in getting clean water around the world?A. Under 10 million.B. Only 19 million.C. About 92 million.D. Over 700 million.2.Treating wastewater helps the environment by _______.A.storing waste in ice and snowB.letting waste run into oceansC.keeping waste out of rivers and oceansD.sending waste to coastal countries3.What does the underlined word "desalination" in Paragraph 3 mean?A.远洋运输B.潮汐发电C.食盐销售D.海水淡化4.At present, the technology to process water _______.A.needs much energyB. saves much moneyC. satisfies everyoneD. causes pollution5.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Water should be a human right.B.The water problem is still serious.C.Our planet is covered with water.D.Everyone has enough clean water.（六）Some of the greatest problems we face today are the destruction (破坏) of our environment. Brown clouds, polluted water, endangered wild animals...these problems seem so huge.So my family do what we can. We take cloth bags to stores instead of using plastic bags. We walk whe re we don’t have to drive.But does it do any good? When I am the only one in line at the market with cloth bags, am I doing any good?Does my walking to stores make any real difference to the world?I recently learned something about flamingos (火烈鸟) which like to get together in groups ofa thousand or more. Every year, when the time comes for migration (迁), a few of them first take off from the lake. But none of the others seem to notice, so the small group returns. However,the next day they try again. This time a few more fly along with them, but most of them still pay no attention, so they return again. They try for several times. Every time a few more birds join in but since the thousands of others still take no notice, the great migration plan is once more stopped.Then one day something changes. The same small group of birds once again starts flying and a small number more join in just as before, then more. Finally, they all take flight and the migration really begins. What a spectacular (壮观的) sight it must be — thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at once!A few can make a difference. Even if you’re the one to take the first step, and continue trying, others will someday take notice and together we will solve even our greatest problems.1.Where would you most probably read this passage?A.A guidebook.B.A movie poster.C.A personal blog(博客).D.A science magazine.2.Why does the writer use cloth bags in stores?A.Because he wants to do some good to the environment.B.Because he thinks plastic bags are more expensive.C.Because there are only cloth bags in stores.D.Because all the people use cloth bags in stores.3.Why does the small group of flamingos return to the lake?A.Because they are very tired.B.Because they can’t f ind food in other places.C.Because they don’t know where to go.D.Because the others don’t fly along with them.4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The writer and his family never use cloth bags.B.Flamingos like to get together in groups of a thousand or more.C.Brown clouds and polluted water are the only problems we face today.D.Flamingos never travel to other places every year.5.What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this article?A.To show that the writer loves to see the migration of flamingos.B.To tell readers to continue trying and it can make a difference.C.To introduce a special kind of flamingos to readers.D.To show that there're many problems in the world.答案以及解析（一）答案：1-5BCACD解析：1.细节理解题。

牛津译林版八年级英语上阅读理解专项强化训练含答案Day OneSong without sightIn 1798, German composer Ludwig van Beethoven marked the first passage of his newest composition (作曲) with the Italian term "grave", meaning slow and solemn (肃穆的). He was troubled to learn that he was losing his hearing. But his Sonata Pathétique (《悲怆奏鸣曲》) sounded exciting and optimistic (积极的). It has inspired (激励) many people over the years. On Aug 29, 18-year-old Xiong Linghao from Chengdu Special Education School played the sonata at the 13th Shanghai International Youth Piano Competition. A video of her performance has gotten 7 million views online. It's been a long and hard journey for Xiong. She lost her eyesight due to a medical accident when she was still a baby. Her mother later found that Xiong had a talent for music. At age 3, she could play children's songs on a small electric (电子的) piano. At age 6, she started learning the piano for real. Unlike people who can see the keyboard (键盘), she must remember where each note is. Practice is keybecause she needs to form muscle memory (肌肉记忆) so she can find the right keys. She practices six to eight hours every day. "I listen to the melody (旋律) again and again and then send what I hear to my fingers. I used to practice with each hand separately before I could play with both hands together," Xiong said. Xiong won the Special Jury Prize (评审团特别奖) at the competition. "The piano has accompanied (陪伴) me through my ups and downs in its own way," she said. "It empowers me and brings so much pleasure (乐趣) into my life."1. Xiong Linghao got attention online for _____.A. being a blind piano playerB. being a young piano playerC. her outstanding memoryD. her sad experience2. Paragraph 3 is written to show _____.A. how Xiong lost her eyesight B. how Xiong started to learn the pianoC. how Xiong practiced piano D. how Xiong recovered from an accident3. From what Xiong said, we know that _____.A. she easily remembers where each key isB. she spends a lot of time practicing the pianoC. she gets bored with practicing only one melodyD. she can play any melody after listening to it4. Xiong's experience is _____.A. dangerousB. excitingC. encouragingD. commonDay TwoTaking care of our outdoor workWhat kinds of chores do you usually do around the house? Maybe you clean your room, wash the dishes, sweep or mop (拖) the floor. All of these are "indoor" chores. But in many places –especially in rural (农村的) areas and suburbs (郊区) in the US –kids have different "outdoor" chores during different seasons. In the fall, the most common outdoor chore is raking (清扫) leaves. As trees lose their leaves in fall, the leaves will pile up (堆积) in people's yards. It is up to each family to rake up the leaves and put them in big trash bags. After a heavy snowfall in winter, children help shovel (铲) snow in their front yard. Otherwise (否则), it might be hard for families to leave their homes. Spring and summer bring lots of rain and sun, which make the grass in people's yards grow tall. It is common for kids to mow (割草) their yards to keep them fresh and neat (整洁的). Doing all of these chores might sound like a lot of work. Fortunately (幸运的是), most families give their kids a little bit of money for doing them. People who don't have children might even pay neighborhood kids to take care of chores for them. Either way, it's a good way to make some money if you aren't old enough to have a real job yet.1. In the US, the most common outdoor chore in fall is _____.A. mopping the floorB. walking dogsC. raking leavesD. mowing yards2. In winter, people shovel snow in their front yard because _____.A. they like to keep their yard clean and neatB. grass won't grow if snow is on itC. it is a traditional winter outdoor activityD. the snow might block their way out3. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Doing outdoor chores is difficult.B. Kids can earn money by doing outdoor chores.C. People without kids find it hard to do chores.D. US parents don't want to do outdoor chores.4. The story is mainly about _____.A. ways of making money in the USB. different outdoor chores in the USC. differences between outdoor chores in China and the USD. why people in the US have yardsDay ThreeBe honest alwaysDuring the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220), there was a government official (政府官员) named Yang Zhen. One day, Yang ran into his old coworker (同事) Wang Mi during a trip. In the past, Yang noticed Wang's talent and promoted (提拔) him. Wang never forgot Yang's help and invited Yang to stay over for the night. It was near midnight when Wang knocked on the door of Yang's bedroom. He handed Yang a bag andsaid, "This is to thank you for teaching me and helping me become who I am today." Yang looked in the bag. It was full of gold ingots (金锭). "Do I look like a person who accepts (接受) bribes (贿赂)? I thought you knew me well!" Yang said angrily. "It's late at night. No one will know if we keep it a secret," said Wang. "What do you mean no one would know? Heaven (天) knows, Earth (地) knows, you know and I know," Yang said. Wang left the room in shame (羞愧).1. Yang Zhen promoted Wang Mi because _____.A. he knew Wang was talentedB. he wanted to thank Wang for his helpC. Wang was his old coworkerD. Wang lived a poor life2. To thank Yang, Wang _____.A. treated Yang as his brotherB. went to bribe Yang secretly C. gave Yang a new bagD. helped Yang keep secrets3. Why was Yang angry with Wang?A.

We might describe Yang as being _____.A. two-facedB. shamelessC. sillyD. justDay FourRobots in serviceA big fair just ended in Beijing. The China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) took place from Sept 4 to 9. It is a major (主要的) service trade event. Visitors saw how new technologies, such as artificial intelligence and 5G, are used in different areas. One highlight (亮点) this year was service robots. Let's look at three of them.Robot dogUnitree, a company in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, has made a robot dog. With an AI-powered smart camera, it can record everything it sees inreal time. It can move up to 3.3 meters per second. It can also carry objects weighing up to 5 kg, about as heavy as 10 bottles of water. The robot dog can give people a hand in many ways. For example, it can move (搬运) goods or search for people who go missing during disasters (灾难).Garbage-sorting robotGarbage sorting is new to many people. Swiss company ABB has designed (设计) a robot to help us do it. It uses two arms to pick differentkinds of garbage that come down a conveyor belt (传送带). It then throws the garbage into the right bin. A screen (屏幕) can show how many pieces of garbage it has sorted.Ping-pong serving robotCan you hit back a ball that is served (发) by a robot? Find out byplaying against a ping-pong serving robot made by Chinese company Siasun. The robot can serve balls one by one automatically (自动地). It can change the speed, angle (角度), and landing area (落点) of the ball as well. It can record your performance with a camera so you can review it later. It will help ping-pong players train (训练) and improve.Fill in the blanks:A quick look of CIFTIS•It took place from 1. _____ to ______.•Visitors can see how 2. _____ are used in different service areas.Robot dogCompany: UnitreeUsage: helping people do tasksAbility: •record in real time •run fast •carry 3. _____ •4. _____ during disastersPing-pong serving robotCompany: Siasun Usage: 5. _____ ping-pong playersAbility: •6. _____ one by one automatically •change the speed, angle, and landing area of the ball •record players' 7. _____Garbage-sorting robotCompany: ABBUsage: 8. _____Ability: •9. _____ from a conveyor belt •10. _____ into the right bin•count how many pieces of garbage are sorted Day Five根据首字母提示补全短文。

Unless we spend money to spot(认出，发现) and prevent asteroids(小行星) now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists.Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids(流星体) that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don’t threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth.But $500 million worth of new telescopes right now, then spend $10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, we’ll have a way to change its course.Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk are (i) How likely the event is; (2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty rare but if one did fall. It would be the end of the world. “If we don’t take care of these bid asteroids, they’ll take care of us,” says one scientist. “it’s that simple.”The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets(舰队，车队) of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “the world has less fear from doomsday(毁灭性) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them.” Said a New York Times article.1.What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids?A. They are heavenly bodies different in composition.B. They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.C. They are more asteroids than meteoroids.D. Asteroids are more mysterious than meteoroids.2.What do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth?A. It is very unlikely but the danger exists.B. Such a collision might occur once every 25 years.C. Collisions of smaller asteroids with Earth occur more often than expected.D. It’s still too early to say whether such a collision might occur.3.What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to alter the course ofasteroids?A. It sounds practical but it may not solve the problem.B. It may create more problems than it might solve.C. It is a waste of money because a collision of asteroids with Earth is very unlikely.D. Further research should be done before it is proved applicable.4.We can conclude from the passage that __A. While pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the world.B. Asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near future.C. The worry about asteroids can be left to future generations since it is unlikely to happen in our lifetime.D. Workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth.5.. Which of the following best describes the author’s tone in this passage?A. Optimistic(乐观的)B.Critical(批评的)C. Objective(客观的)D. Arbitrary(武断的)2. The law says that women should have the chance of doing the same jobs as men and earn the same as them.The reality is very different. Women lose because, 25 years after the Equal Pay Act, many of them still get paid less than men.They lose because they do lower-paid jobs which men just won’t consider. And they lose they are the ones who interrupt a career to have children.All this is reported in an independent study ordered by the Government’s women’s unite.The bigg est problem isn’t equal pay in work places such as factories. It is a sort of work women do.Make a list of low-paid of jobs_ then consider who does them.Try nurses, secretaries, cleaner, clerks, teachers in primary schools, dinner ladies, and child care helpers. Not a lot of men among that group, are there?Yet some of those jobs are really important. Surely no one would deny that about nurses and teachers, for a start.So why do we reward the people who do them so poorly? There can be only one answer--- because they are women.This is not going to be put right overnight. But the Government, which employs a lot ofthem,, and other bosses have to make a start.It is disgraceful(可耻的) that we have gone into the 21st Century still treating women like second-class citizens.1.Women should have the chance of doing the same jobs and be paid equally as men ____.A. after 25 yearsB. according to the lawC. as a result of the Equal Pay ActD. because women are as strong as men2.We can learn from the text what the problem really matters is ____.A. that the women interrupt a career to have childrenB. what sort of work women doC. because they are womenD. what an unfair pay women get in workplaces.3.Which of the following best describes the writer’s idea?A. Women should get equal pay for equal work to that of men.B. Women should strengthen加强themselves.C. The Government ought to protect women against getting paid less than men.D. Some of the jobs that women do are of great importance.4.When the writer says “This is not going to be put right overnight”, he means ____.A. we must solve the problem very quickly.B. there is not completely fair thing all over the world.C. we need a long time to change the unfair reality.D. the problem that women lose will be solved soon.5.Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?A. Work to give women a fair pay deal.B. Time to change the situation.C. Equal work, equal pay.D. Should women be treated like second-class citizens?3. There have never been many adventurers. You van read stories about men calledadventures. But they were really businessmen. There was something they wanted----- a lady, or money, or a country, or honor. And so they got it. But a true adventure is different. He starts without any special purpose. He is ready for anything he may meet.There have been many half-adventurers. And they were great men. History is rich with their stories. But each of them had a special purpose. They were not followers of true adventure.In the big city of New York, Romance and Adventure are always waiting.As we walk along the street, they are watching us. We look up suddenly and see a face in a window. The face seems to interest us strangely. Or in a quiet street, we hear a cry of fear and pain coming from a house where no one lives. A car takes us to a strange door, instead of to our own. The door opens and we are asked to enter. At every corner, eyes look toward us, or hands are raised, or fingers point. Adventure is offered.But few of us are ready to accept. We are ready to do only the things we do every day. We wish to do only the things that everyone else does. We move on; and some day we come to the end of a long quiet life. Then we begin to think. Then, when it is too late, we are sorry that we have never known true Romance and Adventure.1.In the author’s opinion, there are ____ true adventures.A.manyB. fewC. noD. a few2.In what way does the author say a true adventure is different from a business man?A.He is ready for anything he may meet.B. He is not interested in money.C. He enjoys excitement while a business man does not.D. A true adventure is romantic, while a businessman is dull.3.According to the passage, a cry of fear and pain coming from a house where no one lives ina quiet street means____.A. a numberB. a fightC. wealthD. adventure4.The passage doesn’t mention it, but we can infer from the passage that when most peoplemeet an offer of adventure, they will ____.A. grow angry but curiousB. accept the offerC. grow embarrassed and reject the offerD. be frightened and cry for help.5.When do most people wish that they had known romance and adventure?A. When they are young.B. When it involves a beautiful lady or handsome man.C. When something interests them strangely.D. When they reach the end of a long quiet life.4. Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventures ----those who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who look for an immediate excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 metres above the ground with an elastic (有弹性的) rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that about 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall building and diving into the sea from the top of high cliff.（悬崖）Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle for survival.(生存).Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in comparatively safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.1. A best title for the text is ____.A. Dangerous sports: what and whyB. The boredom of modern lifeC. Bungee jumping: Is it really dangerous?D. The need for excitement2.More and more people today ____.A.are trying activities such as bungee jumpingB. are climbing the highest mountainsC. are coming close to death in sportsD. are looking for adventures such as traveling into unknown places3.In bungee jumping, you ____.A. jump as high as you canB. slide down a rope to the groundC. attach(系) yourself to a rope and fall to the groundD. fall towards the ground without a rope4.People probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays because _____.A. they have a lot of free timeB. they can go to hospital if they are injuredC. their life is short of excitementD. they no longer need to hunt for food5.The writer of the text has a ____ attitude towards dangerous sports.A.Positive(肯定的)B. negative(否定的)C. neutral(中立的)D. nervous(紧张的)5. The report came to the British on May 21,1949. The German battleship Bismarck, the most powerful warship(战舰) in the world, was moving out into the Atlantic Ocean. Her task: to destroy the ships supplies from the United States to war-torn England.The British had feared such a task. No warship they had could match the Bismarck in speed or in firepower. The Bismarck had eight 15-inch guns and 81 small guns. She could move at 30 nautical(海上的) miles an hour. She was believed to be unsinkable.However, the British had to sink her. They sent out a task force headed by their best battleship Hood to hunt down the Bismarck. On May 24, the Hood found the Bismarck.It was a meeting that the German commander Luetjens did not want to see. His orders were to destroy the British ships that were carrying supplies, but to stay away from a fight with British warships.The battle didn’t last long. The Bismarck’s first torpedo(鱼雷) hit the Hood, which wentdown taking all but three of her 4,419 men with her.But in the fight, the Bismarck was slightly damaged. Her commander decided to run for repairs to France, which had at that time been taken by the speed and the heavy fog, they lost sight of her.For two days, every British ship in the Atlantic tried to find the Bismarck, but with no success. Finally, she was sighted by a plane from the air. The Bismarck was hit.On the morning of May 27, the last battle was fought. Four British ships fired on the Bismarck, and she was finally sunk.1.The Bismarck sailed into the Atlantic Ocean ____.A. to sink the HoodB. to gain control of FranceC. to cut off American supplies to BritainD. to stop British warships reaching Germany2. Many people believed that the Bismarck could not be defeated because she ____.A. was fast and powerfulB. had more men on boardC. was under Luetjens’ commandD. had bigger guns than other ships3. We learn from the text that on 24 of May ____.A. the British on the battle against the BismarckB. the Bismarck won the battle against the BritishC. the British gunfire damaged the Bismarck seriouslyD. the Bismarck succeeded in keeping away from the British4. Luetjens tried to sail to France in order to ____.A. have the ship repairedB. join the other GermansC. get help from the FrenchD. get away from the British5. Which of the following is the immediate cause of the sinking of the Bismarck?A. The British air strikes.B. The damage done by the Hood.C. Gunfire from the British warships.D. Luetjens’ decision to run for France.6. “I would almost rather see you dead.” Bobert S. Cassatt, a leading banker of Philadelphia, shouted when his twenty-year-old eldest daughter announced that she wanted to become an artist. In the 19th century, playing at drawing or painting on dishes was all right for a young lady, but serious work in art was not. And when the young lady’s family racked among(挤身于) the best of Philadelphia’s social(社会各界的) families, such an idea could not even be considered.That was how Mary Cassatt, born 1844, began her struggle as an artist. She did not tremble before her father’s anger, she opposed(反对) him with courage and at last made him change his mind. Many Cassatt gave up her social position and all thoughts of a thousand and a family, which in those times was unthinkable for a young lady. In the end, after long years of hard work and perseverance(坚持), she became America’s most important woman artist and the internationally recognized leading woman painter of the time.1.How did Mr Cassatt react(反应) when his daughter made her announcement?A. He feared for her life.B. He was very angry.C. He nearly killed her.D. He warned her.2. What in fact was Mr Cassatt’s main reason in opposing his daughter’s wish?A. Drawing and painting was simply unthinkable among ladies in those days.B. He did not believe his daughter wanted to work seriously in art.C. He believed an artist’s life would be too hard for his daughter.D. Ladies of good families simply did not become artists in those times.3. What made Mary Cassatt’s “struggle” to become a recognized artist especially hard?A. She was a womanB. Her father opposed her.C. She had no social position.D. She didn’t come from an artist’s family.4. What do we know about Mary Cassatt’s marriage?A. Her marriage failed because she never gave a thought to her husband and family.B. She never married because she did not want to be just a wife and mother.C. After marriage she decided to give up her husband rather than her career.D. She did not marry because for a lady of her social position to marry below her was unthinkable.5. What do we know about Robert Cassatt’s character from the text?A.He was a cruel man.B. He was a stubborn (固执的) man.B.He knew nothing about art. D. He knew little about his daughter.7. I had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang. It was an eccentric(怪僻的) farmer. I had never met him before although I had often heard people talk about him. He sounded quite nervous and he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then I coul d make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident. I hadn’t the slightest idea who she was but I obviously had to go.It had been snowing heavily that I didn’t know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there, waiting for me. It seemed Milly had died. “She meant more to me than anyone… even my own wife!” he said. I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal (丑闻) . I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn. “I wouldn’t leave her out in the cold!” he said.Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door. He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground. “She was such a good cow! I wouldn’t let anyone but a doctor touch her !” he said, and burst into tears again.1.The underlined phrase “make out” in the first paragraph means____.A. expectB. understandC. see clearlyD. hear clearly2.

What do we know about Milly from the story?A. She had met with an accidentB. She had caused a scandal.C. She was seriously ill.D. She was hidden somewhere.4. The farmer wished that the writer might ____.A. look into the matterB. bring Milly back to lifeC. free him from a scandalD. keep the whole thing a secret5. The person who told the story is probably a ____.A.farmerB. policemanC. country doctorD. newspaper reporter8. More than 6000 children were expelled(开除) from US schools last year for bringing guns and bombs to school, the US Department of Education said on May 8.The department gave a report on the expulsions as saying handguns accounted for 58 per cent of the 6093 expulsions in 1996—97, against 7 per cent for rifles(步枪) or shotguns and 35 per cent for other types of firearms.“The report is a clear sign that our nation’s public schools are cracking down(严惩)” on students who bring guns to school, “Education Secretry Richard Riey said in a statement. “We need to be tough-minded(坚强的) about keeping guns out of our schools and do everything to keep our children safe.”In March 1997, a 11-year-old boy and a 13-year-old using hand-guns and rifles shot dead four children and a teacher at a school in Jonesboro, Arkansas. In October, two were killed and seven wounded in a shooting at a Missisippi school. Two months later, a 14-year-old boy killed three high school students and wounded five in Daducab, Kentucky.“Most of the expulsions(开除), 56 per cent, were from high schools, which have students from about age 13, 34 per cent were from junior high schools and 9 per cent were from elementary schools.” The report said.1.From the first paragraph we can infer that in the US schools ____.A. students enjoy shootingB. students are eager to be soldiersC. safety is a problem C. students can make guns2.

It helps us understand the world better if we know a little geography and have some mapsat hand. But with maps in Chinese only, misunderstanding is possible in studying world events. Chinese names are long, hard to pronounce and without meaning to a foreigner. For the opening of the country maps are important and helpful and needed badly.I wish maps various languages, such as those used in the United Nations, would come out and be sold in all bookstores open to Chinese.1.The writer is mainly talking about ____.A. geographyB. mapsC.

Do animals have a culture? What do we mean by “culture?” Lately social scientists have begun to ask if culture is found just in humans, or if some animals have a culture too. When we speak of culture, we mean a way of life a group of people have in common. Culture includes the beliefs and attitudes we learn. It is the patterns of behavior that help people to live together. It is also the patterns of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.Our culture lets us make up for having lost out strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses. Instead we use tools, cooperate with one another, and communicate with language. But these aspects of human behavior, or “culture,” can also be found in the lives of certain animals. Animals can make tools, for example. We used to think that the ability to use tools was the dividing line between human beings and other animals. Lately, however, we have found that this is not the case. Chimpanzees(非洲小猩猩) can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves. Animals can also share knowledge with each other and use their own language to communicate. So it may be important for us to know that the line dividing us from animals is not as clear as we used to think.1.Choose the statement that best expresses the main idea.____.A. A chimpanzee can learn to use sign language to make sentencesB. Other animals can invent toolsC. Knowledge and communication are no longer signs of only human behaviorD. The line dividing human culture from animal culture is not as clear as we might think2. “Culture” refers to ____.A. book language of behavior we learnB. the patterns of behavior we learnC. traditional ideasD. people’s good habits3. A chimpanzee’s use of tools me ans ____.A. animals are the same as human beingsB. animals can be as clever as human beingsC. the dividing line between culture and animal culture no longer existsD. animals may have a culture like our own4. Which of the following statement is true?____.A. The ability to use language separates human beingsB. We can be certain that animals have a culture tooC. Social scientists doubt if animals have a culture tooD. Some traditional ideas about the difference between human beings and animals may be wrong5.The first sentence of the second paragraph “Our culture lets 7us make up for having lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses “ means ____.A. as a result of our culture, we have lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defensesB. our culture has enabled us even better though we have lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defensesC. our culture has brought back to us strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses that we have lostD.our culture asks that we lose our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses which animals still haveThe key :1.

These first people used the water in the rivers and from rainfall for drinking, washing, and watering crops. The people also needed to find their food, mainly fish, in the rivers. People could sail in boats and ships up and down rivers, looking for new chances to expand their civilization.You can probably think of several ancient civilizations that grew up along rivers: Ancient Egypt, Ancient China and Ancient India. People from there depended on the Nile River, the Yangtze River and the Indus River for a living.Some things haven’t changed. A good example of modern civilization that depends on a river is the Okavango Delta. The Delta has thousands of miles of rivers, wetlands, islands, and wildlife in the Kalahari Desert area of Botswana. The Okavango River is the main river running through the Delta. People live here, in the middle of the desert, because they can depend on the rivers to bring them water and goods.And because the river is so large, it supports many kinds of animals not usually found in the desert, including crocodiles, and more than 80 kinds of fish.Rivers today still bring much needed water to people. Many areas now have man-made rivers designed to transport water from place to place. And rainwater can be collected and stored in them.(D)1. How many kinds of uses do rivers have in ancient civilizations according to the passage?A. Only one.B. Two.C. Three.D. Five.(B)2. Which famous river is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. The Nile River.B. The Amazon River.C. The Yangtze River.D. The Indus River.(D)3. Which of the following is NOT the description of the Okavango Delta?A. There are many rivers and animals in it.B. The people there depend on the rivers to transport goods.C. It is in the middle of the desert.D. It is ancient civilization.(A)4. From the passage, we know ______ .A. Egypt, China and India are areas with ancient civilizationB. people only sailed in boats and ships in the pastC. there are no crocodiles in the Okavango RiverD. modern civilization doesn’t need rivers(D)5. What’s the best title for the passage?A. RiversB. CivilizationC. Uses of riversD. Rivers and civilizationCYou may have heard that bats cause many disease outbreaks in recent years, including COVID-19 and SARS. But how exactly do diseases spread from bats to humans? And with so many diseases coming from bats, you would think that bats wouldbe sick all the ti me. It turns out that this isn’t true, and that it’s likely because of the way that bats’ immune systems work.Bats have very active immune systems to protect their cells from viruses. When a bat’s body discovers a virus, a protein appears to send a signal to the bat’s cells. In reply, the virus reproduces quickly to try to get into the cells before this immune reaction starts. The bats don’t get sick, but these growing viruses can jump to animals with slower immune systems and can quickly cause serious diseases.The question remains: Why are So many diseases spreading from bats to humans? Put simply, we may be to blame. As the number of humans on earth has increased, bats and humans have the chances to have a connection with each other. People have taken over large areas of bats natural homes because of city development and the cutting down of trees. This leaves the bats with no choice but to live closer to us.Besides pushing bats and humans closer together, people can put animals that wouldn’t normally liv e near one another closer. In some animal markets, a bat cage might be placed on top of another animal’s cage, where bat droppings could get int o the animal’s food and pass on the infection. Or a butcher might not wash their hands, which could spread the d isease to other people through meat that isn’t completely cooked.Even though bats can hold dangerous diseases, we can’t blame them for getting us sick. It is only because of bats’ strong immune systems that they can carry such deadly illnesses. By studying bats, we may find ways to develop new treatments. However, the only way to do that is save the natural homes of these remarkable animals.(D)1. Which of the following diseases are caused by bats?A. The flu and SARS.B. The cold and SARS.C. Cancer and COVID-19.D. COVID-19 and SARS. (C)2. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. Bats sometimes get seriously sick.B. Viruses can’t grow in bats’ bodies.C. In fact, a bat’s body can carry virus.D. Bats don’t have any immune systems.(B)3. Why are so many diseases spreading from bats to humans?A. Because bats make humans’ food dirty.B. Because bats live too close to humans.C. Because bats don’t have fresh air to take in.D. Because bats can’t stand the warmer weather.(C)4. Which paragraphs show us why diseases spread from bats to humans?A. Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2.B. Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3.C. Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4.D. Paragraph 4 and Paragraph 5.(D)5. The underlined word “blame” in Paragraph 5 means ______ .A. say that someone is proud of somethingB. say that someone should choose a new wayC. say that someone is good at doing somethingD. say that someone is unhappy about somethingDKwane Stewart stepped outside a convenience store with his morning coffee and saw a homeless man sitting with his back against the building. It was 2011, and the Great Recession had pushed a lot of sad people onto the streets. A small dog sat in the homeless man’s legs. Stewart, a veterinarian at an animal hospital, noticed the dog, knowi ng there was something wrong with it. He reached the man and offered to bring some medicine for the dog, a gift the man readily accepted.“I remember it got much better a week and a half later, and that the dog looked active and healthy,” Stewart told The Modesto Bee. The man said his dog was finally sleeping at night again because it was no longer staying up crying and scratching. “ ‘And you know,’ he said, ‘I’m sleeping at night.’ He started to cry, and that stressed me out too,” Stewart sai d.Stewart was touched. “When you give back, there is something you get in return that feels much larger, I knew I wanted to keep doing it,” he said.Today, Stewart has his own practice in town, yet he still finds time for street pets. He’s helped many animals since 2011, mostly dogs but also a few cats —and once a snake.There’s a great need for his kind of help. About 25 per cent of Modesto’s homeless population own a pet, but there are few health care places available to them. To meet the need, Stewart can often be seen to walk in dark alleyways and underpasses, anywhere he thinks the homeless might camp out. He carries his medical bag, which includes different medicine. Stewart pays for almost all of it out of his own pocket.Sometimes, he comes upon a medical problem that requires more attention than he can provide on the street. For those expensive treatments, he set up a GoFundMe account to help cover treatment costs. “I don’t ever want to have to turn anybody away,” he explains.He knows there are some people who question whether the homeless should even have pets. How can they care for themon the street? “I think that more than anybody, they need pets,” Stewart told The Modesto Bee. “They love their pets probably more than the other persons. Because, you know, th e owner is the pet’s home.There’s one more important reason for the homeless to have their pets. “I can’t tell you how many times people told me their animals are their reason for getting up in the morning,” Stewart says.One of those people is Joe, a middle aged man who has hard times. He says that his pet is his life.“When I first hit the streets, I was almost to the point where I had given up,” he said in a video online. “Every morning, I wake up. Her tail is wagging. I don’t feel that loneliness. If something happened to her, I don’t know what I’d do.”(A)1. What did Kwane Stewart do for the homeless man’s dog?A. He took some medicine for the dog.B. He took the dog to an animal hospital.C. He gave the dog some delicious food.D. He gave the dog an expensive treatment.(C)2. How many kinds of pet animals are mentioned in the passage?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.(B)3. How did Stewart deal with those expensive treatments?A. By giving up the treatments.B. By setting up a GoFundMe account.C. By offering more medicine.D. By taking them to his animal hospital.(D)4. Homeless people keep their pets because ______ .A. they have much free timeB. they are usually very kindC. there are too many lost animalsD. they think pets as their lives(C)5.What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Homeless people.B. Lost animals.C. A street animal doctor.D. Difficult life.三、七选五根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。

TEXT 6
If you intend using humor in your talk to make people smile, you must know how to identify shared experiences and problems. Your humor must be relevant to the audience and should help to show them that you are one of them or that you understand their situation and are in sympathy with their point of view. Depending on whom you are addressing, the problems will be different. If you are talking to a group of managers, you may refer to the disorganized methods of their secretaries; alternatively if you are addressing secretaries, you may want to comment on their disorganized bosses.
Here is an example, which I heard at a nurses’ convention, of a story which works well because the audience all shared the same view of doctors. A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by St. Peter. He sees wonderful accommodations, beautiful gardens, sunny weather, and so on. Everyone is very peaceful, polite and friendly until, waiting in a line for lunch, the new arrival is。
