2019-2020学年河南省鹤壁市某校八年级下期末考试英语试卷
一、阅读理解
1.
In my hometown there is a beautiful lake. It's in the middle of the mountains and the water is freezing. People don't go there very often. It's only on hot summer days that brave people go for a quick swim there because they believe that it's dangerous to swim there.
The story goes that one day some fishermen were fishing on the lake. When they pulled up their net, they saw they had caught a creature which looked like a person. They were terrified, and tried to kill it. But just then, a heavy thunderstorm began. The men disappeared（消失）, but their boat was found a few days later.
To be honest, I don't believe a single word of the story. But recently someone said he had seen the strange creature（生物）. He even showed a photo of it. Not surprisingly, the picture was so dark that it didn't show anything. On the Internet someone says the creature came from another planet and the police know this, but deny it because they don't want to frighten people.

As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning
the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.
（1）______ Do you ever try to make your dream real?
Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making your dreams real is life's biggest challenge. You may think you're not very good at some school subjects, or that it's impossible for you to become a writer.（2）______
In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.（3）______ Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.
