冀教版英语八年级上册期末考试精选—阅读理解（一）Saturday, March 18thWe have arrived in the hot, wet city of Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand (秦国).All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the north.Tuesday, March 21stBangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruit and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.Friday, March 24thOur trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life--no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say "hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.1.

So scientists have been searching outer space for years, hoping to find signs of alien (外星人)life.They use radio telescopes to search the sky for signals (信号) from other civilizations (文明). It is called SETI. SETI has been working for over half a century, but so far they haven't heard any alien messages. Scientists suggested aliens might not want to contact (联系) us but could reply to a message we send. So scientists sent radio signals into the universe, hoping one day they would be picked up by aliep technology. These scientists call themselves METI.Both ME TI and SETI want to prove that we are not alone in the universe. But what if the“alien phone" rings one day? Should we reply to it?British scientist Stephen Hawking thinks we should not answer because aliens could be dangerous. Hawking said that aliens could visit our solar system in search of resources (资源).“If aliens ever visit us, I think theresult would be much like when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn't turn out very well for the American Indians".But other scientists think we have no need to worry. David Morrison, a NASA scientist, said that if an alien radio signal reaches us from a distant planet hundreds or thousands of light-years away, then that civilization would have to be more advanced than ours.4.What does "they” refer to in the third paragraph?A. Scientists.B.Aliens.C.Radio signals.D.Americans.5.Why did Stephen Hawking think that aliens would be dangerous?A.Because he thought aliens would rule the solar system.B.Because he thought aliens would come to search for resources.C.

Scientists are sure that humans are not alone in the universe.CVolunteering overseas (在海外) can be one of the most meaningful experiences of your life. It is a chance to see the world, do something good, and learn about yourself. But it isn't easy. Volunteering abroad means you must give up something, and often it takes money. There are thousands of programs to choose from.Decide what sort (种类) of work you find meaningful. Do you love working with children, or do you want to do a broader sort of volunteer work, like helping at a medical clinic? Some potential (潜在的) work you can volunteer for includes:teaching, building schools, farming, social work, such as helping at a refugee (难民) camp or urban poverty (贫困) center, and cleaning up or repairing, especially after a disaster (灾难).Consider your skill, and what kind of work you can help do. Difficult workplace requires different skills. If you would like to work as a teacher, you might need to be able to speak the language of the country you are going to (or know some basic phrases). If you want to help at a building site (地点)，you should have building or carpentry (木工) skills. This doesn't mean that you need to be an expert (专家) before going over. However, having some knowledge of the work you are doing can help you feel a sense of purpose, instead of confusion (困惑) when you arrive.7. What does the writer think of volunteering overseas?A.

They don't want to say more words. They look serious, but they like allkinds of amusements (娱乐). They work hard and like tidiness. Most German women like to keep their houses clean.In some ways, the English look the same as the Germans. They are also quiet and never talktoo much with others. They are really polite, so we often hear “Thank you." or “Sorry.”from them.The French have long holidays. They like travelling and usually spend their long time in other countries. The French are more outgoing than the Germans. It is very easy to make friends with them.Compared to(与......比较) the French, the Americans are more outgoing. And they are even opener.

I had gone nearly six blocks (街区) past it and had to turn around and go back. Isn’t it just like life? We often focus on competing with others, trying to show that we are better than them. We spend our time and energy chasing afte r them and we miss out on our own paths in life.The problem with unhealthy competition is that it's a never-ending cycling.

牛津译林版八年级下英语《阅读理解》期末专题练习含答案
牛津译林版八年级下英语期末考试专题练习—阅读理解（1）Did you know that each day one person in the US throws away 4.4 pounds of rubbish? Almost every month, we throw away our own rubbish in packaging alone. Packaging ( including boxes, bags, etc) comes to our homes with the things we have bought. Several weeks ago, the TV news said that in a city in Italy, tons of rubbish were piled up in the streets, and the smell was rather terrible. What can we do to help? We should get to know the following Rs.To reduce means to make less rubbish That is one of the first things we all should do for the environment. Reduce your rubbish by doing things like packing your lunch in reusable containers(可再利用的容器)，taking smaller potions(份)at dinner so you don't waste food when you have had enough, writing on both sides of paper, and using less water when taking a shower.To reuse is to use things again. Think about the bags you get from the store. They can be reused to carry your lunch, to hold your rubbish, or to collect used cans. You can even take them back to the store the next time to carry your things instead of getting a new bag!Recycling is an important part of keeping our planet clean and green. It can also save energy. Be sure that you don't throw things in the rubbish that can be recycled to make something else. Paper, plastic, cans and bottles can all be recycled, but food, electrical waste and mobile phones can't. When you are not sure whether something can be recycled, go to your parents and teachers for advice.Follow the three Rs, and every one of us can do something to save the Earth. It is also the best way to save ourselves.( )1. The first paragraph of the passage implies(暗示) that .A. packaging should be given upB. Italy is too dirty for us to visitC. the US produces most rubbishD. the Earth is becoming dirtier( )2. The writer seems to ask people to reuse the bags .A. only as rubbish bagsB. only for carrying other thingsC. mainly to have a cleaner worldD. mainly to save some money( )3. Which of the following can be recycled?A. Food and bottles.B. Books and newspapers.C. Paper and mobile phones.D. Plastic and electrical waste.( )4. The passage mainly tells us that .A. all useless things can be recycledB. the environment is greatly improvingC. the three Rs can help us clean the EarthD. we should never throw any rubbish away（2）Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he/ she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.( )1. How many people in the world are left-handed now?A. Less than one sixth.B. More than a half.C. About 40%D. The passage doesn’t tell us.( )2.Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “damaged” in this passage?A. knockedB. changedC. brokeD. harmed( )3. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.B. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.( )4. The best title for this passage is _______.A. Scientists’ New InventionsB. Left-handed PeopleC. Which HandD. Different Brains, Different Hands（3）It is believed in some ways that the daughter is father's lover. But my experience has taught me in a different way. For a long time, my father has been a very vague figure(模糊形象)to me. He was a man of few words，tall but slim and nothing else.When I was in primary school, my father was never there to pick me up, and he never came to any of my parent-teacher meetings. He was always busy doing projects. I remember when I was in middle school and my head was badly hurt in a PE class. During my operation，my father was nowhere to be found. This hurt me most. At that moment, I thought my father was a cold-blooded man who did not care about me at all.But things seemed different at my high school graduation ceremony(毕业典礼)where I was chosen to represent my class and give a speech. My father, once again，told me he had a business trip in a place outside the city and would be unable to show up(露面)" Don't come. I will be nervous if I see you. " I told him.I remember my speech went smoothly. After the ceremony was over and I was about to leave，I suddenly noticeda familiar looking man sitting in a corner of the hall. It was my father ! I was so surprised that I rushed to him with tears running down my face. "Well done. " he said. His eyes were also filled with tears.Later, I found out that my father had managed to finish his work by staying up late, and he drove for eight hours to get back. He had been sitting in the corner because he didn't want me to see him. My father remembered every word in my speech.For much of my life，I described my father was a cold-blooded man who only cared about his work. But when I thought deeply about this，it was obviously(明显地)not true. At my graduation ceremony，I could feel my father's deep love. The fact is that seeing is not believing, and seeing may not be the fact if we don't perceive(感知)the world with our hearts and minds. There's no doubt(疑问)that life doesn't lack(缺少)love，but sometimes our eyes have trouble seeing it.( )1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.

That my father sat in the corner of the hall.D. That my father's eyes were filled with tears.( )4. What's the best title of the passage?A. My busy father.B. Life is full of love.C. Seeing is not believing.D. A wonderful speech.（4）Overweight(超重)is one of the biggest health problems now. Being overweight affects more than how you look. Too much fat can kill you. What's worse, overweight children turn into overweight adults(成人).If you're obese now, you probably will grow into an obese adult. But here's good news. You can fight overweight.Change your eating habits.You are what you eat, Kids like snacks. Did you list any healthy snacks? One study of eating habits showed that soft drinks are the first in the snack list. Next, kids choose salty snacks, like chips. What's more, the list is full of junk food from No. 3 to No. 11. Finally, No. 12，kids picked a healthy snack-fruit. So, think about your snack choice again.Get outside to exerciseJim, a player on his school football team, had a weight problem not long time ago. He could never get anyone to play with him. So his father and he started playing football for a few minutes every night. Ten minutes turned into an hour or more. In just a few years, the heavy kid became athletic, fit and healthy.More TV means more fatNearly every American kid watches TV for 2 hours and 56 minutes every day that adds up to 44 days a year of sitting.

Vegetarians usually have lower levels of heart disease, and studies have also shown that they have a lower risk of diabetes(糖尿病)than people who eat meat. However, most people don't realize that a vegetarian diet produces less pollution to the earth.Researchers from the Union of Concerned Scientists in the US recently studied how people affect the environment. The study showed that eating meat is one of the main ways that humans can change the environment, second only to the use of motor vehicle.Then, how can eating meat have a negative effect on the environment? For a start, all farm animals such as cows, pigs, and sheep give off methane gas(沼气)by breathing. One cow can produce up to 60 liters of methane each day. Methane gas is the second most common greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide. Many environmental experts now believe that it is more responsible for global warming than carbon dioxide. It is estimated that 25% of all methane released into the air comes from farm animals.Another way that meat production affects the environment is through the use of water and land. 2,500 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of beef while only 20 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of wheat. One acre of farmland used for crop production can produce 40,000 pounds of potatoes, 30,000 pounds of carrots, or 50,000 pounds of tomatoes, however, one acre of farmland used for raising cows can produce just 250 pounds of beef.Many people now see the benefits of a vegetarian diet, not just for health reasons, but also because it plays an important role in protecting the environment. However, some nutritionists advise against switching to a totally strict vegetarian, or vegan diet. They believe a vegan diet, which excludes(拒绝) all products from animal sources, such as cheese, eggs, and milk, can be short of many necessary vitamins and minerals our bodies need.Today, many people know that it is important to take better care of their bodies, and to use the earth's resources more efficiently. As this understanding spreads, more people may realize that to help the environment and for the human race to survive, more of us will need to become vegetarian.( )1. The underlined word "vegetarian" in the first paragraph most probably means " ".A. a person who eats healthy foodB. a person who eats meat and vegetablesC. a person who only eats meat, fish and seafoodD. a person who only eats vegetables，grains, and fruit( )2. It's for a vegetarian to have diabetes than a person who eats meat.A. more possibleB. less possibleC. highly possibleD. impossible( )3. Which of the statement is TRUE according to the article?A. Doctors suggest switching to totally vegetarian diets.B. It takes more water and land to produce a kilo of crops.C. Farm animals give off methane gas and pollute the environment.D. Carbon dioxide is more responsible for global warming than methane gas.( )4. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 5 refers to " ".A. a vegetarian dietB. animal sourceC. necessary vitaminD. health reason( )5. The main idea of the article is that .A. our diet is destroying the surroundingsB. raising farm animals affects the environmentC. a vegetarian diet helps to protect the environmentD. more and more people are becoming strict vegetarians（6）When I was nine years old, I wrote my first poem. My mother read the little poem and cried. "Buddy, it's a beautiful, beautiful poem! " My mother poured out her praise."What time will father be home?" I asked. I could hardly wait to show him my poem. My father had begun his movie career as a writer. He would be able to appreciate(欣赏)my poem even more than my mother. I confidently put the poem right on my father's plate on the dining table.My mother said he would be home around 7. But my father got home an hour later than expected. He sat down at the table and noticed his plate. "What is this?" I heard him say."Ben, Buddy has written his first poem. And it's beautiful, so amazing! " Mother said."If you don't mind, I'd like to decide that for myself, " Father said.I kept my face lowered to my plate. It was only 10 lines long. But it seemed to take hours. "I think it's bad, " my father said. I couldn't look up. My eyes were getting wet."Ben, sometimes I don't understand you," my mother was saying. "This is just a little boy. He needs encouragement.""I don't know why," my father held his ground. "Isn't there enough bad poetry(诗歌)in the world already? No law says Buddy has to become a poet. "I ran from the dining room, threw myself on the bed and cried.A few months later, I read that first poem. It was a bad poem. I worked up the courage to show him a short story. My father thought it was not good but hopeful. I was learning to rewrite.As I worked my way into other books and plays and films, I realized how lucky I was to have a mother who said, "Buddy, it's wonderful! " and a father who shook his head "I think it's bad. " Both are love that forces me to improve. In fact，all of us in life need both loving force.( )1. What did the mother think of the Buddy's poem?A.

That day father didn't come home until a quarter past eight.D. The writer was confident that father would praise his poem.（7）Today there are many more fires than in the past. Over 100,000 wildfires burn each year in America. Russia has 20,000 to 35,000 wildfires every year. Australia has on average 60,000 each year. These fires destroy(损害)huge areas of forests and burn hundreds of homes.Many experts believe there are several reasons for this sudden increase in fires. The first reason is climate(气候)change. Recent weather has been warmer and drier. This leads to dangerous fire conditions. When lightening strikes(发生雷电), dry grass easily catches fire. Hot winds add to the problem. The wind spreads a fire quickly. In 2010, Russia had the hottest and driest summer in a century. In just one month，500 fires destroyed over 2,000 homes. Some people lost their lives.Traditional fire-fighting practices are another reason for the increase in fires. In America, firefighters used to quickly put out every fire. They didn't allow the grass and trees to burn. As a result, today many forests have thicker vegetation(植被). Thicker vegetation means more fuel(燃料) for fires. Also, without fires from time to time, forests become overcrowded and unhealthy. Some trees are dead. The dead wood then easily catches fire. So surprisingly, America has many more fires today partly because of its past fire-fighting practices,Scientists now understand that a fire can be a natural part of a healthy forest. As a result, countries like Australia allow more fires to burn naturally. Sometimes, firefighters even start fires to get rid of(去除)dead wood. Of course, they carefully control the fires. The fire thins out old trees. This allows sunlight to reach the ground. As a result, fires help new trees to grow. Therefore, if a fire is not a serious threat(威胁)to people, firefighters may let it burn naturally. ( )1.Why did Russia have so many fires in one month in 2010?A. Because lightening spread the fire.B. Because there was much fuel for fires.C. Because there were not enough firefighters.D. Because it was unusually hot, dry and windy.( )2. What happens because of the traditional fire-fighting practices in the USA?A. There are fewer wildfires.B. Trees and grass become thicker.C. The weather becomes warmer and drier.D. Sunlight reaches the ground to help forests.( )3. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?A. Fires are serious threats to human beings.B. Australian firefighters don't put out fires.C. Fires can play an important role in forests.D. 1t's difficult for firefighters to control the fires.( )4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Not all the fires in the forests must be put out.B. People's carelessness leads to dangerous fires.C. Australia allows all the fires to burn naturally.D. There are more fires in Russia than in the USA.Parking lots again came up for discussion in Shanghai. Another 220, 000 private cars will hit the roads this year, and the need to buy a car is still very high among people. More than 270,000 cars have no designated(指定)parking areas at night. In a middle school in Changing District, trees were cut in a green area to make way for car parking. The school had not considered car parking when it was being built,A private car is used about an hour daily for driving and stays parked for 23 hours. Many private cars are used even less. Car-sharing offers users all kinds of cars. The cars are parked in car-sharing stations, lying throughout the city. Customers of car-sharing can book(预定)a car at any time ( day or night) by telephone or on the Internet. The customer then picks the booked car up at the set time. After finishing his/her business, they return the car to the same place where they picked it up. Maybe, this is one way to solve the car parking problem.On the other hand, the idea of Park & Ride has been suggested. This means that underground train and city train should be developed quickly. You can leave your cars in car parks nearby subway and bus stations and then you can ride public transports to go to the city centre within minutes—great in wet weather or when you're carrying heavy bags. Park & Ride services can save you a little more time to do something you enjoy: catch up on e-mails, chat with friends, read the paper or simply relax, and prepare for the day ahead. Then the city will cut down the number of parking lots in the city centre.( )1. Why does the writer mention what the middle school did in Paragraph 1?A.

Here are some ideas to get you started.Organize a blank driveIt is cold outside, but imagine how thousands of homeless people may feel without a home of their own, or even a blanket to keep them from the cold. Organize a blank drive for your local homeless, and ask around for donations! Practice random acts of kindnessI'll never. forget the time when I went to pay for my Dr Pepper, but the server resisted, saying my bill was paid by an anonymous(匿名的)guest. It's this random act of kindness that restores my faith in humanity. Bless someone by paying for their drink at Starbucks, or praising them! If you live somewhere where it snows, shovel your neighbour's snow out of their driveway for them! Whether it is as simple as praise or as complex as paying the bill, you'll never know how far your impact will reach.Say thank-youJust a simple thank-you can make somebody's day, especially if they feel like their work is never noticed. Cultivate(培养)a smile on their face by being sincere and grateful for all that they do.Use your talents to help the communityThe best way to show your appreciation for people is by using the talents and skills you have to bless others. For me, I love to coordinate(协调)events and write, and so my way of reaching out to the community is through writing articles and creating awareness about problems we face today. If you can bake, make some delicious cookies for people to enjoy! If you can knit, put your talents to use by making clothes for children in foster care. Any talent can be used to help the community in meaningful ways.Wish you a happy, healthy and helpful holiday season.( )1.

Make the Best of TalentC. Enjoy Your Holiday SeasonD. Help Others in NeedIt is widely agreed that the cover-use of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil has caused seriousenvironmental problems. Scientists are trying to find new clean energies that do not pollute the air, the water or the ground. Solar power is one of them.Solar power is a kind of electricity which is produced by taking energy from the sun, using solar panels. The solar panels are usually fixed on the roofs of houses and buildings. It is the family solar power system. Some countries are even beginning to build solar power plants by setting thousands of solar panels in the places where there is enough sunshine. Solar power has many advantages. The power is easy to get and will never be used up. Whenever it is sunny, there is the power. The power is clean and renewable. It helps to reduce waste and pollution, which is great for the environment. In the areas that are too far away to send electricity to or not easy to build electric power plants, solar power is especially necessary. It enables the people there to use lights, TVs, computers, washing machines, fridges and many other things.Therefore, more and more countries, such as China, the USA, Japan and India, encourage scientists to develop practical technology to put solar power to use. However, the power is not as widely as used as expected.One of the challenges is that a solar power system needs sunshine. Countries or areas with a lot of rain, like the UK, are not suitable to develop such power systems. Secondly, a solar power plant requires a very large site to fix enough solar panels to collect sunlight and change it into electricity. Maybe an area in the desert would be one of the perfect places for such a plant to build. What's more, solar panels are expensive at present thought the energy itself doesn't cost anything.Today scientists are working hard to develop more practical and cheaper solar power systems. Maybe one day solar power will be one of the most important clean energies in our life.( )1. Solar power is a kind of energy taken from .A. the airB. the sunC. the waterD. the ground( )2. The underlined word reduce probably means .A. to make something lessB. to make something betterC. to make something moreD. to make something cleaner( )3. What is the fourth paragraph of the passage mainly about?A. The ways to use solar power.B. The advantages of solar power.C. The places to build the solar power plants.D. The difficulties of putting solar power to use widely.( )4. What can we learn from the passage?A. Solar energy itself is expensive.B. Solar power will be used up very soon.C. Solar power is a kind of clean and useful energy.D. Solar power is much better than the other energies.参考答案（1）1-4 DCBB （2）1-4 ADBC （3）1-4 BDBC （4）1-4 CBAD （5）1-5 DBCAC （6）1-4 BCAD （7）1-4 DBCA （8）1-4 BDBA （9）1-5 ACCBA （10）1-4 BADC。

I thought that Lynne would pay because she had invited me. I arrived at the restaurant exactly on time. I’d been told that Americans expect you to be on time. Lynne and I sat at a table in the corner of restaurant and a waitress came and took our order.The dinner was a great success. I talked a lot about Saudi Arabia and Lynne told me all about herself. After two hours, the waitress finally came and asked if we wanted one check or two. Lynne said two. We went to the cashier and Lynne paid her check. I was embarrassed (尴尬) when the cashier gave me my bill. I had no money to pay for my meal. Then I had an idea. I pretended to look for something in my pockets and said, “Oh! I forgot my wallet! Can I call my roommate, please?” The cashier showed me where the phone was and I quickly called my roommate. In a few minutes, he arrived with some money, but he couldn’t hide how he felt. He laughed all the way home. Now, I think it’s funny too, but at that time I was terribly embarrassed. I thought that an invitation to have dinner in the United States meant the same thing as that in China. I guess you have to understand that your customs are only your customs.

They learned how to make the inkstone from historical books. But bringing it back to life was not easy. They walked over the Fenhe riverbed and collected all kinds of mud (泥土) to find the best one. To know the best heat for firing clay (烧制黏土), they spent many nights keeping a close watch on the kiln (窑). After trying many times, they finally made three Chengni inkstones in 1991.Lin Tao said it takes over a year and more than 10 steps to make a Chengni inkstone. One of the key steps is mud filtering (过滤). “The mud needs to be filtered over and over again till it feels like flour (面粉). This is to make sure the texture (纹理) of clay is right,” he said. Lin Tao has also made many modern designs. For example, he painted patterns of the Bird’s Nest in Beijing on his inkstones. “Passing on the skill holds the key to keeping it alive.” he said.16．According to Paragraph 1, when did people first make Chengni inkstone?A．Tang Dynasty.B．Han Dynasty.C．Song Dynasty.D．Ming Dynasty.17．What can we learn from paragraph 3?A．They learned how to make Chengni inkstone only by reading.B．They could easily find the best mud to make Chengni inkstone.C．It took them a few hours to know the best beat for firing clay.D．Bringing back the skill of Chengni inkstone needs hard work.18．What does “This” refer to in paragraph 5?A．Mud filtering.B．Flour.C．Inkstone.D．Texture.19．Which word can best describe Lin Tao according to the underlined sentence?A．Careful.B．Pleasant.C．Creative.D．Traditional.20．What is the best title of this article?A．Steps of making Jiangzhou Chengni inkstoneB．Bringing back a lost skillJiangzhou Chengni inkstoneC．The attractive history of Jiangzhou Chengni inkstoneD．Failure is the mother of success（2223八年级下·广东深圳·期末）World Animal Day falls on Oct. 4 every year. It has been started in 1931 to remind everyone on our planet to care about wild animals. Unluckily, many wild animals are facing great danger. Some even became extinct and cannot be seen forever. Recently, China has done much to improve the living condition of endangered wild animals.The protection of Asian elephants is a good example. Asian elephants in China are mostly found in Yunnan province. These animals have bee endangered because some people are killing for their teeth. The government (政府) has been trying to protect them. For example, elephants teeth business is not allowed. This can greatly prevent elephants hunting.Another example is the protection of the Yangtze finless porpoise (江豚). Because of overfishing and water pollution, the population of the Yangtze finless porpoise was just 1,012 in 2018. That number is lower than the number of giant pandas. In 2020, the government put a 10year fishing ban (禁令). This action is very useful and now people can see a group of Yangtze finless porpoises jump and play in the Yangtze River.With World Animal Day around the corner, we all can think of more ways to better protect our wild friends. As we share this Earth with all living things, we can truly make a difference for all animals.21．Why was World Animal Day started?A．To introduce wild animals to the public.B．To encourage us to care about wild animals.C．To collect information about wild animals.D．To calculate the population of wild animals.22．What does the underlined word “extinct” mean in the first paragraph?A．rise in number B．drop in number C．appear D．disappear23．What has the government done to prevent elephants hunting?A．Stop elephants teeth business.B．Provide elephants with food.C．Protect elephants in a zoo.D．Grow more trees for elephants.24．What can we learn about Yangtze finless porpoise from Paragraph 3?A．Their population was 1,012 in 2020.B．Their population is larger than that of giant pandas in 2018.C．They were in danger because of overfishing and air pollution.D．Their number is higher because the government put a fishing ban.25．What is the structure of this passage?

His hands, thick and rough, are a reminder of more than 40 years of hard work.“You really have to touch the leaves with your hands to see how much water should be removed (移除),” Fan said. “If too much is removed, the leaves will break into pieces; if not enough is removed, the tea will have a bitter taste.”This traditional technique dates back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. It not only ensures the quality (质量)of the tea, but is also an important part of Chinese tea culture.” Longjing tea leaves are famous for their color, taste and shape. Only by hand can we make the best of them. It’s like making a work of art,” Fan said.These days, however, more people are using machines to do the job. “It’s easier, but the quality is not as good,” Fan said. “Machinemade tea floats longer in water and tastes bitter.”In March this year, when President Xi Jinping visited Hangzhou, he watched Fan roast tea leaves. Fan changed the strength and movement of his hands as he felt the tea leaves roast. Xi later said, “The things made by two hands cannot be replaced by modern technology.”Fan is now taking apprentices (学徒). His son, a 27yearold college graduate, is one of them. “It’s a tradition.

Dickens created some unforgettable characters. You must have heard of or even read some of his novels：Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol and A Tale of Two Cities. A Tale of Two Cities has sold more than 200 million copies. Since 1897, there have been more than 300 film and TV adaptations of Dickens' works. A Christmas Carol alone has had nearly 50.Natalie Mcknight is a literature professor who studies Dickens and his works. She explains why the novelist has remained so popular.One important reason, she says, is that Dickens wrote from his heart. He tried hard to produce emotional effects among his readers. In his works, he paid special attention to the “little man” at the bottom of society in the UK, which deeply showed the social reality at that time. A Christmas Carol, for example, was written to make every reader think about how they could make a difference to their society.People always enjoy works that make them laugh, cry and think. Many other 19thcentury novelists wrote entertaining works.

First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive.After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels (地道). I was amazed that each one knew well what to do. Each had its own job.On the fifth day, something terrible happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although (虽然) the ants kept alive after their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was frightened as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm.My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand (忍受) that their tunnels were gone.Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired (钦佩) for their hard work.But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another.Giving up is not a good choice.20．What did the writer’s family do for him when he was seven?A．They built a farm of ants.B．They bought a few ants.C．They caught a lot of ants.D．They found an ant city.21．Which of the following is WRONG according to (根据) the passage?A．Giving up isn’t a good way when we meet trouble.B．Like people, teamwork is very important for the ants.C．The ants didn’t die one by one after the tunnels were destroyed.D．The writer knocked the glass box over because he put his face so close to the glass farm. 22．What did the writer come to realize a few years later?A．Working together is useless.B．Teamwork is important.C．Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life,and must be accepted.D．Working alone is amazing. 23．What is the best title for the passage?A．Ants Fear Adversity B．My Family and AntsC．Giving Up in Adversity D．Don’t give up anytimeLittle stream (小河) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing (消失) into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,” she said sadly to herself.At this time, a deep voice said, “If a breeze (微风) can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “That’s because a breeze can fly, but I cannot.”“That’s because you stick to what you are. Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, and it can take you across,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The breeze can carry the vapor (蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,’’ said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of breeze. It carried her to the next stage of her life.The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are sometimes. 24．Before the stream reached the desert, she didn’t ________.A．believe in herself B．meet any diffcultiesC．want to cross the desert D．worry about the journey to the ocean 25．Who encouraged the little stream when she felt sad?A．The desert.B．The sun.C．The mountain.D．The breeze. 26．What does the underlined phrase stick to in third paragraph mean?A．粘贴B．坚持C．放弃D．展示27．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．Give up what you have.B．How to cross the desert.C．Change means success.D．The little stream and the desert.There was a young woman.

So her yard was the most beautiful one in her village.One day, while looking through a flower list that she often ordered from, a picture of a plant immediately caught her eyes. She had never seen a flower like it before. “I have to have it,” she said to herself, and she immediately ordered it.When it arrived, she found a place to plant it. She planted it at the bottom of a stone wall at the back of her yard. It grew vigorously(旺盛地), with beautiful green leaves all over it. Day after day, she continued to take care of it, but there were no flowers.One morning, as she stood looking at the plant, she felt sad. She wanted to know why her plant had not bloomed(开花).However, at this moment, her disabled neighbour invited her to his yard and said, “Thank you so much). You can’t imagine how much I have enjoyed the flowers that you planted. “ The young woman walked through the gate into her neighbour’s yard. She saw that on the other side of the wall the plant was full of flowers.They were, indeed, the most beautiful flowers she had ever seen. The plant had grown up through the crevices(裂缝)in the wall.Just because you can’t see the results of your labour, it does not mean that there isn’t any fruit. 28．What was the young woman proud of?A．looking after her grandmother.B．Helping others.C．Growing flowers.D．Selling flowers.29．How did she feel when she found her plant had not bloomed?A．Lonely.B．Unhappy.C．Surprised.D．Bored.30．Why was the disabled neighbour thankful to the young woman?A．Because she often gave him some tasty food.B．Because she always helped him to do the housework.C．Because she taught him how to plant flowers.D．Because he enjoyed the flowers that she planted.参考答案1．C2．A 3．B 4．C5．C 6．B 7．B 8．D9．C 10．A 11．A 12．D13．C 14．B 15．C16．B 17．A 18．D 19．D20．A 21．C 22．B 23．D24．D25．A26．B27．C28．C29．B30．D第1页共9页。

Just as he reached her, the crocodilereached him.From the dock（码头）, the mother held her little boy by the arms just as thecrocodile caught his legs. That began a tug-of -war（拔河）between the two. The crocodile was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by. When he heard the mother's crying, he ran out from his truck, took aim and shot the crocodile.Amazingly,after weeks and weeks in the hospital,the little boy survived.His legs were full of cuts from the accident. And on his arms were deep scars（伤疤）from his mother's fingernails.A newspaper reporter asked the boy if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his legs.

The boy would fall to the grass, get up, and without looking backat his mother, ran as fast as he could as if nothing had happened.When kids fall down, they don't think of the fall as a failure. Instead, theyconsider it as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed.While I was touched by the boy's strong mind, I was also touched by theway he ran. With each attempt, he looked so confident and natural. He onlywanted to run freely and to do it as well as he could. He was just being achild-just being himself-being completely in the moment. He never gave up.Each time he fell, he got himself back up again, as if he knew that falling downwas simply a part of life.He was not looking for others' smiles, or worrying about whether someone waswatching or not. He only wanted to run and to feel the experience of running fullyand freely.I learned a lot from that experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in many parts in my life.1.From Paragraph l, we know that the boy's mother_______.A.was strict with himB.had a special way to educate her sonC.didn't love her son as much as othersD.was too weak to help her son get up2.Which is true according to the passage?A.The kid was in a blue jacket.B.The kid was about 2 years old.C.The kid was playing with his grandparents when he fell down.D.When the kid fell down he cried for a while.3.The writer was touched by the boy because the boy _______.A.might stop running when he fell downB.never fell down if he made up his mind to runC.didn't care about the fall and went on runningD.was good at running and never fell down4.What can we learn from the story?A.Falling down will make a person feel frightened from then on.B.Falling down is the mother of success.C.When others are watching, people fall down easily.D.One will succeed if he/she is confident and never gives up.参照答案1— 4 BBCDCWhen I was in the ninth grade, my parents started fighting about me.

There I would enjoy the peace and quiet, watching the bamboo trees bendin the wind and then return to their original positions after the wind had died down.When I think about the bamboo tree's ability to come back to itsoriginal position, the word "resilience" comes to my mind. When weuse the word to talk about a person, it means the ability to easilyrecover from shock, sadness or any other bad situation.Have you ever felt like you are about to snap（垮掉）? Haveyou ever felt like you are at your breaking point?

The next time you are experiencing one of those unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, bend but don't break. Try your best not to let the situationget the best of you. Your hope will take you through the unpleasant ordeal (摧残). With hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation things may not be as bad asthey seem to be.

This means staying away asmuch as possible from food such as chips, cookies, candies and sugary drinks, because all children need to have meals and the meals should be a well-balanced diet.Community nutritionist* Thelma Romoso said, "The fruit, the vegetable, the grain, the protein, and also the milk, the diary product are all necessary in the diet for a child. Among them, the fruit and the vegetable should come first. It's easy for a mother to go into the two plus three concept* of fruits and vegetables or five a day." This concept means that there are at least two servings* of fruits a day, three servings of vegetables a day which can be served for lunch and dinner.Morris also said that the child's hunger level influences how much is eaten and the parent controls what and when the meal is offered, saying, "Mom needs to make sure that the food offered is good food for the child to eat and she also needs to consider how active they are through the day. Snacks* are not a bad thing, so the mom should offer good kinds of snacks as well."When it comes to preparing your child's lunch and snacks for school, make sure to keep in mind that the food you provide should not only provide enough energy but also be healthy such as fresh fruits, and whole grain bread. But parents must be sure to remember that a good healthy diet must be balanced with physical activity, that is to say, it is important that children get outside and run around and play and get activity besides eating a good diet.（1）According to Charlie Morris we can know that____________.A. active children like to eat more and more snacksB. there are sugars and high fat in few kinds of foodC. mothers should prepare delicious food all by themselvesD. children should eat less highly processed food in daily life（2）What does the word "served" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. givenB. toldC. boughtD. played（3）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.

Parents play an important role in children's dietC. Children often pay little attention to fresh fruitsD. Choosing healthy food is usually very expensive4．阅读理解Zhao Min, China I have great interest in stamps. I have started collecting many kinds of stamps since 2011.

Proverbs are popular around the world.Many listeners have sent us their favorite proverbs. They give advice about how to live. We begin with two popular proverbs about staying healthy by eating good food. One is" An apple a day keeps the doctor away." The other is" You are what you eat."Several proverbs about birds also give advice. You may have heard this one: The early bird catches the worm. This means a person who gets up early, or acts quickly, has the best chance of success. Another famous proverb is" a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". This means you should not risk losing something you have by searching something that is not guaranteed（有保证的）.Another proverb warns "do not put all your eggs in one basket". This means you should not put all of your resources（资源） together in one place because you could risk losing everything at one time.Here is more advice: If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Also," Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today."Yet another proverb advises us not to be concerned about something bad that you cannot change. It says," There is no use crying over spilled milk."Do you agree with the proverb" Children should be seen and not heard"? Maybe you have told your children that" hard work never hurt anyone". But other people say that" all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". They believe it is not wise to spend all your time working but never having fun.Finally, here is one of our favorite pro-verbs: People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. This means you should not criticize other people unless you are perfect yourself.That's all for today.

In western countries, people always talk about the weather, but nobody can do anything about it. That is the truth. They usually begin their talks with "A nice day, isn't it?" "Do you think it will rain?" "What a fine day!" etc.Many people think they can tell what the weather is going to be like. But they can never agree with one another. One man may say, "Do you see how cloudy it is in the east? It's going to rain tomorrow." Another man would say, "No, it's going to be fine tomorrow.” People are often looking for the weather that they want. When a farmer needs water, he looks for something that could tell him it's going to rain; He won't believe anything else. When friends want to have a travel, they are sure that the weather is going to clear up very quickly. Almost everyone listens to what the weather man says. But he doesn't always tell us what we want, and once in a while he makes a mistake. Still, he probably comes closer to being correct than anyone else.51.
