湖南省长沙市2019-2020学年下学期八年级英语期末试卷分类汇编阅读表达湖南省长沙市青竹湖湘一外国语学校2019-2020学年八年级下学期期末英语试题第四节阅读表达阅读下面的短文,然后根据短文内容回答问题How can you remember a song from your childhood to this day? Why do your teachers use songs to teach you English? It seems there is a scientific reason for this.Researchers are now studying the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They find that remembering words in a song is the best way to remember even the most difficult language."Singing could be a new way of learning a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are used in a catchy(郎朗上口的) and meaningful way," said Dr. Karen Ludke. The findings may help those who have difficulty learning foreign languages. On his blog, Dr. Ludke writes, "A listen—and—repeat method can support foreign language learning, and open the door for future research in this area."Many language teachers know the value of using music and singing. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington D.C. depends heavily on songs in teaching Chinese. She says, "I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids usually we use English songs but teach them the Chinese lyrics. So it's easy for them to start because they know the music. Not only does it work, but it is fun for the kids."Sometimes, I think if I were taught English that way, maybe I would speak English much better than now," HuaZhuying adds.Our brain likes music, especially for remembering. So, if you're still struggling in learning alanguage, why not try singing it out?40. According to the passage, what is the best way to remember a foreign language?______________________________________________________________41. In Ludke's opinion, who might benefit(受益) from this new way of learning by singing?______________________________________________________________42. Have scientists done a lot of researches on listen—and—repeat method in language learning? ______________________________________________________________43. How does Hua Zhuying teach kids to learn Chinese?______________________________________________________________44. Why does singing work well in language learning?______________________________________________________________【答案】40. Remembering words in a song.41. People who have difficulty learning foreign languages.42. No, they haven’t.43. She uses music all the time to teach kids Chinese.44. Because it’s a catchy and meaningful way.【解析】本文是一篇议论文,主要介绍了音乐对于语言学习的重要性。

AA video of a one—arm Chinese boy playing basketball recently went viral (走红) on the Internet in China. In the video, the young boy was playing with his great basketball skills, which even drew the attention of NBA super star Steven Curry."I didn't even realize he had only one arm when I first watched the video," said one person after watching the video.The one—arm 13—year—old is a country boy from Yunfu City, south China's Guangdong Province. His name is Zhang Jiacheng. At the age of five,he lost his right arm after an accident at an oil factory. Zhang had to get used to eating and getting dressed with one arm. However, it didn't stop him from pursuing his dream of playing basketball. In 2018, he found his love for basketball after taking part in a basketball class in his school. Since then, he has hardly been seen without a ball in his hand, even dribbling(运球) at home in the living room. Even playing against players far taller and stronger than him,he still plays with strong will and shoots the ball.”Keep up or give up” is his life motto(座右铭)His basketball skills as well as his spirit received praises (赏扬)from some professional basketball players."I've never seen a child play basketball better than him,"said Chinese national basketball player Zhu Fangyu.

(共10小题,计20分)AChina’s Yangtze River is the world’s third longest river. It is home to more than 400 kinds of fishes. And the Chinese paddlefish(长江白鲟) was once common in the Yangtze River. Because of human activity, its number dropped greatly. Scientists could hardly find them. Finally, this past January, a piece of sad news came in: The fish went extinct between 2005 and 2010. “It’s very sad,” said Zeb Hogan, a US biologist(生物学家). “We’ve lost a valuable animal. There is no hope of backing to the old days.”The Chinese paddlefish was one of the world’s largest freshwater fishes. It could grow to seven meters. It was known for its big nose. For this reason, many people called it the “elephant fish”. The Chinese paddlefish was an ancient kind of fish. It first appeared in the Jurassic period(侏罗纪时期). After lived on the earth for 200 million years, the animal finally went extinct because of human activity.Started from 1970, humans caught about 25 tons(吨) of paddlefish each year. That mainly caused the great loss of the fish. And in 1981, the building of the Gezhouba Dam(葛洲坝) made the paddlefish become two groups. The two groups could not reproduce(繁殖). What’s more, theYangtze River was seriously polluted by nearby people. As a result, the population of the fish became smaller and smaller.Scientists said that many freshwater fish in the Yangtze River are in danger.
