She knew we were going to have that reaction and just to see that look of satisfaction on her face midway through —it was one of my favorite moments,”Cowell said.The performance was posted On line and before long,the 47-year-old Scottish woman has been famous all over the world.Speaking from her home in Scotland.Ms. Boyle said that she hadn't thought of changing her appearance.She said that her friend helped her with make-up.“I mean,that's hardly a makeover.”she added.Ms. Boyle also spoke of the reason she first began to explore her vocal talents.”I was kind of slow at school, so getting something like singing was a good way of hiding behind that and thus it built my confidence.’’1.Susan Boyle is __________.A.a judge B.a reporterC.a beautiful lady D.a Scottish woman2.Susan Boyle had a look of satisfaction on her face when she was singingbecause _________.A.she was confident of her singingB.she was satisfied with the judgesC.she was pretty and in good shapeD.she sang the song,I Dreamed a Dream from Lea Miserables3.According to the passage,which is NOT true?A.It was the vocal talents that built Susan's confidence.B.Susan Boyle was not good at her lessons when at school.C.Susan Boyle became famous because of her appearance.D.Simon Cowell didn't think Susan Boyle a good singer at the time sight.4.What can we learn from Susan Boyle's success?A.It's never too old to learn.B.It's easier to succeed at the age of 47.C.If you have a dream,try to make it come true!D.If you are not able to study well,to be a singer instead.·E·“Who does the cooking in your home?”I’m often asked by my colleagues. “My wife and I share it 50/50,”I usually say without hesitation.It’s a lie, of course. We’re pretty much even(相等的)when it comes to the children and the elderly. But the paying of bills isn’t 50/50-my wife pays all sorts of household expenses, so I never even have to set eyes on them.And the cooking isn’t 50/50, either.The truth is that I am the cook. On my recent 40th birthday, I received the following gifts from my children: a new pot, two mini bottles of truffle oil, a decorative salad-dressing pourer, and a juice-making machine. For a moment I longed for something more manly, a cricket bat, perhaps, and then had to admit that all these things would be useful for me.It’s not that my wife can’t or doesn’t like to cook (she makes delicious Welsh cakes). Nor has it always been this way. In the early years of our marriage I’d be relaxing with a glass of wine while my wife prepared for dinner after work.But at some point that changed and I became the cook. Ten years with my wife gave me the rewards-I can throw together a roast, and I can make much foreign food. But I have truly become a monster(怪物)in the kitchen, unable to keep myself away from cooking. “You have to add Dijon to the sauce; it brings out the taste of the cheese,”I volunteer, as my wife is cooking. “Quick, stir in the butter so the dish becomes delicious.”Is it any wonder that my wife has given up coming into the kitchen while I find the whole process of chopping, mixing, and adding things deeply satisfying?( )1.What do the writer and his wife probably share evenly at home?a.Cooking in the kitchen. b.Taking care of the children.c.Paying household expenses. d.Taking care of the elderly at home.A.ab B.bc C.bd D.ac( )2.The gifts that the writer received on his 40th birthday show that .A.his children don’t know him at allB.he is in charge of the cooking at homeC.he doesn’t get along well with his childrenD.his children have made wrong choices( )3.What do we know about the writer’s wife?A.She can’t cook. B.She doesn’t like cooking.C.She used to cook for the family. D.She only knows how to make Welsh cakes.( )4.From Paragraph 5 we learn that the writer .A.likes sticking his nose into other people’s businessB.doesn’t think his wife is good at cookingC.studies very hard in order to cook wellD.enjoys cooking in the kitchen·F·Different countries have different customs. When you travel to other countries, please follow their customs, just as the saying goes, “_____________________”.Very often people who travel to the United States forget to tip. It is usual to tip porters who help carry your bags, taxi drivers and waiters. Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost of your meal. Taxi drivers expect about the same amount.In England, make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you. It’s important to respect lines there. It’s a good idea to talk about the weather. It’s a favourite subject of conversation with the British.In Spain, it’s a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you for dinner. People have dinner very late, and restaurants do not generally open until after 9 p.m.In Arab countries, men kiss one another on the cheek(脸颊). Your host may welcome you with a kiss on both cheeks. It is polite of you to do the same.In Japan, people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time. When a person gives you a card, don’t put it into your pocket right away. The person expects you to read it.Don’t forget to be careful of your body language to express something in conversation. A kind of body language that is acceptable in one culture may be impolite in another.( ) 1. The missing sentence in the first paragraph should be “_____”.A. Love me, love my dogB.

Get ready for the future.C. How to keep food longer?D. Where will people live in the future?·H·Nowadays, the food that you buy comes from many different countries. Have a look inyour fridge, cupboard, and fruit bowl and check the origins(来源) of the food. Perhapsthere are apples from California, lamb from New Zealand, or potatoes from Egypt? Youwill probably be surprised how far food travels to get to your plate. This journey, from“field to plate”,is called “food miles”. A food mile is the distance that food travels from the farmer's field to the person who buys the food. Nowadays, food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer(消费者). Why is this, and what is the influence of these long distances?Traditionally, farmers sold their food in the local market, so the food didn't have to travel very far. The consumers also did not travel very far because they went to their local market to buy the food. This was a good system for farmers and consumers. However, there were some disadvantages. For example, consumers could only buy food that farmers produced locally. Besides, they could only get food that was in season. Now, because of modern technology, food comes from all over the world. We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes. They are available in winter if we want.Some countries have to import(进口) most of their food. This is because they have difficult climates. The United Arab Emirates (UAE), for example, gets 85% of its food from other countries. Even food made in the UAE often uses imported materials.What's wrong with “food miles”?Is this not a good way of increasing international trade? I believe these miles are worrying for a number of reasons. First of all, because food travels such long distances, we need more planes, lorries, and ships to move the food. This means we use more oil or petrol, so there is more pollution and more global(全球的) warming. In addition, food that travels a long way is not fresh and usually not very tasty. Tomatoes, for example, are picked early and stored for their long journeys. For this reason, they are usually tasteless when they get to the consumer. Local food has a better taste, and it also reduces the amount of global pollution. We need to buy more local food.1. What is called “food miles”according to this passage?A. The origins of the food.B. The effects of longs distances.C. The journey from field to plate.D. The disadvantages of imported food.2. The underlined word “available”in Paragraph 2 most probably means “”.A. easy to getB. not busyC. willing to talkD. Impossible to get3. Some countries, like the United Arab Emirates, have to import most of their food because of .A. long distancesB. difficult climatesC. fresh and tasty foodD. modern technology4. The writer uses the LAST paragraph mostly to encourage readers to .A. buy more local foodB. increase international tradeC. travel long distancesD. use imported materials5. This passage is mainly about .A. how local food travels from field to plateB. what “food miles”is and its effectsC. how some countries import their foodD. where different kinds of food come from·I·There are many different ways to travel to Paris from London. One of the quickest and most popular ways is by train. From Waterloo Railway Station, you can travel all the way to Paris. The journey takes about three hours. The train, called the Eurostar, is very modern, and the seats are comfortable.You can also travel to France by ship. First, you go to Dover, on the coast, by bus from London.

As the bell rang, the teacher came in smiling at each girl and boy. Then she said in a quiet voice, “Good morning, girls and boys! How happy I am because I have all of you in my class this year. I’d like to know each of you. I am sure we will enjoy working together. I am sure that the more we get together the happier we’ll be.”Her voice was so sweet and her looking was so friendly.

Now most people have about four weeks of holiday time every year plus public (公共的) holidays (also called “bank holidays”).When?Most British workers take a two-week holiday in July or August. School children are on holiday from the end of July to the start of September. Taking a second holiday break in winter or spring is also becoming more popular in the UK.Where?The most popular holiday destinations for Brits include Spain, France, Greece and the US. Lots of people buy a package holiday that includes flights and a hotel or an apartment. Cheap overseas flights mean that many British people are able to spend two weeks a year vacationing abroad. Flights and package holidays are much cheaper during school terms and the British government is worried that some young people are skipping school to go on holiday. Parents who take their child on vacation during term time must now pay a fine.British people also like to go on holiday in the UK. They might go to England, Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales, In Cornwall (康沃尔), for example, there is an environmental project called the Eden Project. You can see plants from all over the world there.Independent (独立的) holidaysSome teenagers want to spend their holidays doing something without their family. A language exchange is one way to become more ind ependent and improve one’s language skills. A British teenager might spend a week or two in a foreign country, staying with a family who has a son ordaughter of the same age and practicing the local language.

I turned around and found a little lady with a warm smile. I said heartily:” Of course﹗”“Why are you in college at such an age?” I asked.She joked, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have children, and then travel around.”“No seriously,” I asked.“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’ getting one!” she told me.Over the year, Rose became an icon(偶像) and she easily made friends. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention of the others. At the end of the term we invited Rose to ou r football party. I’llnever forget what she said.“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. Here are the secrets to stay young. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die! There's a huge difference between growing old and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. But growing up requires finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets.”One week after graduation that year, Rose died peacefully in her sleep.

With drawings and simple words, the step-by-step guide explains how to send messages, take pictures and make video calls. Zhang made the guide for his parents. “My parents are getting old. They need an easy way to learn how to use new techn ology.” He said.Zhang’s experience is common nowadays. Worldwide, 40 percent of parents learn about new technologies, including computers, mobile Internet and social media, from their children, according to a study from the International Communication Association in 2014.Parents used to teach their kids about almost everything. Now for the first time, the teachers become the students, and the students turn into the teachers.The change of roles comes from the rapid development of society and technology, says Zhou Xiaohong, a sociology professor from Nanjing University. Zhou said the Internet and other forms of media give children ways to get information besides from asking older generations(长辈). Therefore, in the age of information, it’s possible that chil dren know more than their parents do.According to the China Internet Network Information Center(CINIC), 56.7 percent of Internet users and 67.2 percent of social media users in China are under the age of 30. The younger generation usually acts as alink between their family and the new environment. But when they teach their parents new technologies, parents can connect to the new world by themselves, noted Zhou.In Zhang Ming’s eyes, teaching his parents about WeChat brings him closer to his parents. “People can communicate more by using new technology. Why should we keep our parents out?” said Zhang.( )11.According to the passage, Zhang’s parents can’t_______with the “WeChat guide”.A.make video calls B.send messagesC.grab the red envelopes D.take pictures( )12.Why does children know more than their parents do nowadays?A.Because parents teach the children about almost everything.B.Because children can ask more older generations for help.C.Because parents are getting old.D.Because children can get more information by using new technoloies.( )13.What does the underlined word “link” in paragraph 5 mean?A.teacher B.connection C.treasure D.conversation( )14.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.Zhang Mi ng’s “We Chat guide” is made up of drawings and simple words.B.40% of parents lean about new technologies from their children all over the world on 2014.C.56.7% of social media users in China are under 30 according to the CINIC.D.Zhang Ming thinks that we should encourage our parents to use more new technolohies.

Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plan. So airlines(航空公司)offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree?To solve this problem, airlines try hard to improve their food. They would like to do so because they don’t want to lose customers.However, according to scientific research, part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at high altitude(海拔)we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure(气压)reduces one third of the sensibility(感觉)of our taste buds. So ourtaste buds become senseless. The sad face, however, is that our noses don’t know it.All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy(辛辣的)food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless.Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.Though sci entists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought. Because they can’t deal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, making food taste good is still hard for them.( )26.In Paragraph 2, “this problem” means ______.A.passengers stay long in the plane B.food on the plane tastes badC.passengers have no food to eat D.food on the plane is expensive( )27.What do airlines do to solve this problem?A.Get more customers. B.Offer more food.C.Improve their food. D.Reduce the ticket price.( )28.As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure reduces of the sensibility of our taste buds.A.half B.one third C.one fourth D.one fifth( )29.Why do scientists feel it hard to made food on the plane taste good?A.The volunteers don’t know about food taste.B.The volunteers don’t understand them.C.They can’t find enough volunteers.D.They can’t deal with the special environment successfully.( )30.What is the best title of the passage?A.Taste of Airplane Food B.Airplane TravelC.Scientific Research on Noses D.The Change in Air PressureGEvery country has its own way of cooking.

Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty--sometimes you are just thirsty, and you need no food. Stop eating before you feel full.Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Because you don't eat for the past ten hours, your body needs food to get you going. You will be smarter after eating breakfast Eat healthy snacks like fruits, yogurt or cheese. We all need snacks sometimes. In fact, it's a good idea to eat two healthy snacks between your three meals. This doesn't mean that you can eat a bag of chips instead of a meal.Don't eat dinner late. In our busy life, we always put off eating dinner until the last minute. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8-10 hours.( )41.The writer gives us _________ pieces of advice on healthy eating.A.4 B.5 C.6 D.7( )42.Which snack is Not mentioned in the passage?A.Fruits.

When you see a famouswhen you see yourcar in the street, maybe you will say “It's cool.”You may think, “He's so cool,”favourite footballer.We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as“new”or “surprising”. Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. Ateacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student'spaper was just the one sentence, “It's so cool”. Maybe he thought it was the best way to show whathe saw and felt.But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have nowords to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Canyou think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. A think they are also very cool.has ________.1.

In the passage, the writer suggests (暗示) that the word “cool”_________.A. can be used instead of many wordsB. usually means something interestingC. can make your life colourfulD. may not be as cool as it seems参考答案:1.C2.B3.A4.C5.DOne of the things I always believe is that no matter how bad something is, you can takesomething positive out of it. The one time I wasn’t sure of that was on September 11.I usually wake up a 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning. That day, I happened to wake up earlier. Iturned on the TV and I saw that a plane had crashed (撞击) into the North Tower of the WorldTrade Center. My first reaction (反应) was that it was a terrible accident. Then I saw another planefly into the South Tower and I realized that I was witnessing (目击) an act of terrorism.My wife and I spent the day watching the terrible pictures over again. When I watched familymembers looking for their loved ones, the pain in their eyes was something I would never forget. Icouldn’t understand how something this terrible could have happened.It wasn’t until a few weeks after September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good didcome from this tragedy (悲剧). People seem different now, more understanding, more tolerant(宽容的). Little things that seemed to be such a trouble before are no longer big things. Personally, Iam more tolerant than I was. I realize life is too short, and too precious(珍贵的), to let myself getworried over small things. I’ve learned also that you can’t take things for granted. Things changethey’re living and thein the blink of an eye. People go to work and don’t come back. One momentnext minute they’re not. And, it doesn’t matter who you are, there is nothing you can do about it. We never know when our time here will be over, so we all need to make the most of everyminute we have.You try to learn from wha t happened. You can’t be used up by it. You can’t live by it.

From September 11, the writer had realized that___________.A. people should make the most of every minute they haveB. he has become less tolerant towards othersC. he should get worried about little thingsD. life is too short to care about others.4.

人教版英语八年级下册专题10阅读理解专练(练习版)(人教版)含答案
八年级下学期期末重难知识点串讲+精练专题10 阅读理解专练(一)Have you ever been to Wuyuan? It is in the northeast of Jiangxi Province. People call it “the hometown of books”, “the hometown of tea” and “the most beautiful village in China”.I went there with my friends in April this year and had a wonderful experience. At first, we saw many ancient buildings surrounded by green trees and clear brooks (溪流). It was said that they were built during the Tang Dynasty. Then we visited Changxi village, a place famous for producing high mountain green tea. People lead a quiet and simple life there. They shared the tea culture with us and told us how to enjoy the fresh tea. Next we passed through the oldest lane (空中走廊) to experience the beautiful Rainbow Bridge. Although it was built 800 years ago, it stands as sturdy (坚固的) as ever. So it is still in use by the villagers now. I really liked this bridge because it could protect people from getting wet on rainy days. After that, we had a look at the Yuanyang Lake. It is in the west of Wuyuan and got the name of “Provincial Nature Reserve” in 1997. Along the lake is a forest with about 185 kinds of plants that are green all year round.1.Which is NOT the name people give to Wuyuan?A.The hometown of books.B.The hometown of tea.C.The most beautiful village in China.D.The most interesting place in China.2.What does the writer think of his experience?A.Wonderful.B.Funny.C.Relaxing.D.Excited.3.What do we know about Changxi Village?A.It has many green trees and clear brooks.B.It’s famous for producing black tea.C.People lead a quiet and simple life there.D.It was rainy there when the writer visited it.4.Which is the right order of the writer’s activities?① He passed through the Rainbow Bridge.② He learnt about the tea culture.③ He visited the Yuanyang Lake.④ He watched ancient buildings.A.④②①③B.②④①③C.④①②③D.②①③④A.A Beautiful Village in Wuyuan B.An Experience in WuyuanC.Green Forests in Wuyuan D.Friendly Villagers in Wuyuan(二)As everybody knows, tourism (旅游业) plays an important part in the development of a country, the life of people and so on. It can open our eyes to the outside world, bring us more knowledge, and make us feel good. However, tourism can also lead to pollution and many other problems to places of interest (名胜古迹).Luckily, “Green Tourism” is now being promoted and developed around the world. As time goes by, people will begin to realize the importance of these places of interest. “Green Tourism” teaches a person to love nature more and to protect it by enjoying its beautiful scenery (风景) and learning more about it. “Green Tourism” is the best kind of tourism as its purpose (目的) is to let people enjoy natural environments including wild plants and animals, and of course the cultures of many places.Compared with traditional tourism, “Green Tourism” is to learn more about nature and people. Traditionally, people travel around the world to enjoy themselves and pass time pleasantly. But “Green Tourism” are different. The tourists travel because they fall in love with the beauty of the protected areas. They want to make good use of natural resources (资源) but not use them up. For example, they study the animals, the culture and the customs (风俗) or a place so that they can learn more about the history and value (价值) of the area.In short, “Green Tourism” has a purpose and a plan, but not to pollute our places of interest.6.As everybody knows, tourism may bring ________ to a place.A.development and pollution B.pollution onlyC.development only D.more problems than good results7.The underlined word “promoted” probably means ________ in ChineseA.设计B.限制C.推广D.影响8.From the passage we know that the writer is probably ________.A.for all kinds of tourism B.for Green TourismC.for traditional tourism D.against any kind of tourism9.Different from traditional tourism, Green Tourism is ________.A.to use up the natural resources B.to eat different foods and pass time pleasantlyC.to make the places of interest more famous D.to protect nature and cultureA.give advice on traditional tourism B.introduce Green TourismC.tell people to change their travel habits D.show us how to have a good journey(三)People read books less often these days. With the invention of TVs , computer games and mobile phones, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.Books offer an outstanding wealth (财富) of learning and are at a cheaper price than taking a course. Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge(知识) of how things work and who or what people are.Everything needs reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the notes(注意) on a medicine bottle(瓶子) without good reading skills. Someone could not understand them and become very sick or even die.Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter your age.So I think people should read books.11.________ is the least often of the following activities these days.A.Watching TV.B.Playing computer games. C.Reading books.D.Shopping on line. 12.The underlined word “outstanding” means ________ in Chinese.A.great B.little C.helpless D.meaningless13.Which sentence isn’t the writer’s opinion(观点) according to the passage?A.Reading books can make us cleverer.B.Reading books is a waste of time.C.Driving without reading books may become very dangerous.D.Reading books is important to all the age.14.The writer thinks reading is ________ according to the passage.A.important B.helpless C.boring D.useless15.The best title(标题) of the passage can be ________.A.Why People Should Read Books B.How We Improve Reading SkillsC.What We Love Doing in Free Time D.People Should Enjoy Themselves(四)EducationEnglish Teacher Uses Creative Cartoons in TeachingA high school English teacher who has an artistic talent is encouraging (鼓励) her students with colorful drawings in her pupils’ exercise books.Du Mengsi, who teaches at a high school in Xuchang. Central China’s Henan Province, said some of her students lacked (缺乏) interest in learning English. So she started to draw cartoon characters for her students who gave the best answers to her questions.A video posted on Pear Video shows her drawings are not just simple doodles(涂鸦). Many are colorful detailed figures that take her more than a few minutes to finish.One of her better students asked for a drawing of Nezha, a popular character from one of the hottest cartoon movies. Du fulfilled (完成) the request and wrote some nice words.She didn’t only draw sweet little characters like cute cats. She drew a half-page-sized image of the monster (怪物) character “Venom” for one of her students. “I promised that if you could get full marks, I would draw Venom for you. Please keep up your great grade!”“My child loves learning English now.” the parent of one of Du’s students wrote on WeChat.China Daily 16.In which section can we read the news probably?A.CULTURE B.EDUCATION C.ARTS D.LIFE17.The news “English Teacher Uses Creative Cartoons in Teaching” was reported by ________.A.China Youth Daily B.Teens C.Global Times D.China Daily18.According to the passage, Du draws to________.A.draw her students’ attention to their weak points in EnglishB.introduce the hottest cartoon movies to the studentsC.show her artistic talent to the studentsD.raise her students’ interest in learning English19.What can we know about Du’s drawings?A.They’re for the best student in Du’s class.B.All her figures are sweet little characters in hot movies.C.They serve as prizes for the students’ good workD.It is easy for Du to finish them.20.It’s clear that________.A.some of Du’s paintings are just colorful doodlesB.the students are allowed to draw colorful pictures in their exercise booksC.one needs to get full marks to review Du’s drawingsD.Du might draw according to her students’ likes(五)A box of strawberries is left to rot (腐烂) in your fridge. You must throw it away at once. But it’s more than just strawberries that you are wasting.The life of a strawberry starts from a seed (种子). A farmer plants the seed and waters it. Later, people pick the strawberry and pack it in a box. A truck takes it far—perhaps 200 to 1,000 kilometers—to a supermarket. Water, labor, fuel (燃料) and money must all be spent in order for a strawberry to come to you. If you waste the strawberry, you will waste all of these things.It’s hard for people to realize how much work is connected with the food we eat every day. That makes food waste a big problem around the world. Every year, the total amount of food wasted around the world is 1, 3 billion tons. In China alone, people waste 35 million tons of food each year, according to the CCTV.As we throw food away, there are still 820 million people living in hunger (饥饿) around the world. Many children go to sleep hungry, and 3.1 million of them die from hunger each year, according to the UN. The Covid-19 pandemic (流行病), has made the situation worse, with many countries no longer transporting (运输) food to other countries during this time.Wasting food means wasting natural resource and missing the chance to feed a growing population. It’ s timeto take action (采取行动) now. Many countries are fighting food waste. What are we Chinese doing to stop it?China has taken an activity called “Clear Your Plate” since 2013. This year, some restaurants are encouraging people to order food using “N-1”. “N” stands for number of diners at a table. If there are 6 people at your table, your are encouraged to only order 5 dishes.With people living better lives these days, they are forgetting old values. It’s time to bring them back. We should clear our plates from now on.21.The underlined sentence “But it’s more than just strawberries that you are wasting.” means that ________.

There wasn’t anything interesting on television. The book I was trying to read seemed boring, too. Finally I put the book down, closed my eyes.Suddenly, I felt a little and wet tongue lick my face. My eyes opened and I saw our dog Luck standing there and looking at me. I smiled and touched her head. After a while, I got up and we went outside. The sun was breaking through the clouds and warmed the cool air. I laughed as I ran with her around the yard.She smelled the grass when the wind blew lightly. After we went back inside, I threw a ball to her, and shebrought it back to me happily. Then she jumped up on my bed and took a nap of her own. It seemed like even while she was resting, she never found life boring.Luck’s life is always full of happiness. In her life, there is time to nap and time to play. There is time to sing, to listen to the news, but there is no time to be bored. After thinking about Luck’s life, I know we only get a certain amount of time to live and that we shouldn’t waste a second of it.Word Banknap 小睡tongue 舌头lick 舔second 秒26.Why did the writer take a nap?A.Because he had a habit of having a nap.B.Because he felt tired after lunch.C.Because he found nothing interesting to do.27.What happened when the writer went outside?A.His dog jumped up on his bed.

Now her parents can’t watch her all the time and she can do things freely. At the same time, she met a problem. She lived with her parentsfor more than 18 years. Her parents used to cook for her, so she never learned to cook before. At first, she went out to eat a lot, because it’s a cheap way when she spends some time studying how to cook.She planned to make fried cabbage. It is healthy and easy to make. First, she put a pan on the stove and turned on the stove. Then she put some oil on the pan. When the oil was hot, she put the cabbage into the pan.

The lines make you look fatter especially when you have a heavy build.Wear dark colors. Black is many people’s favorite color because dressing in dark colors can make you look slimmer. There are different dark colors. You have many other choices besides black. Dark blue seems good and navy is not bad, either.Choose a shirt. Make sure there is more than one color in the shirt. Only one color, especially light color, may make you look much fatter. Remember, two or three colors are enough.Don’t believe the size on the tag. Sizes sometimes are different in different stores. So make sure you try on different sizes to get the best one. Don’t wear something if it is too small for you, because it can make you look a lot bigger than you are.Usually jeans are boys and girls’ favorite. Be careful of back pockets. some pockets can make your bum look bigger, but others can make it slimmer. When you are shopping, choose jeans with right pockets.

People are encouraged to help others and to learn from Lei Feng. This year, my classmates and I went to do some cleaning in a street. We finished our work, took photos and talked with some people about their lives. One old lady said she remembered how all students used to do helpful work in the street. Another told us that when she was young, she and her friends would do a lot of simple things to help others. They would help people carry things or fix broken chairs at school. “But things have changed over these years. The young students don’t really understand the spirit of Lei Feng,” she continued. “They do good things because they are told to do and take photos to put on the school website (网站).”Her words made me think. We have been told to do things to help others on Lei Feng Day. But none of the love and care came from our own hearts. We should believe that they can make a difference. We don’t need cameras or praise (赞美). We can do better if we keep the spirit of Lei Feng inside ourselves. “Learn from Lei Feng” shouldn’t be a yearly fad. Everyone should carry out their good behaviors all year round and we will have a better tomorrow.41.This year, my classmates and I ________ on Lei Feng Day.A.fixed broken chairs B.did some cleaningC.carried things D.mended bikes42.From the passage, we know people used to do many good things ________.A.to help others B.to get praiseC.to take photos D.to help their own parents43.Nowadays, many students do good things on Lei Feng Day because ________.A.they care for others B.they are told to do soC.they really want to D.they like all the people44.The underlined phrase “a yearly fad” in the passage means “________”.A.一时的风尚B.每年的足迹C.一年的支出D.一年的收入45.Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage?A.Students should take photos to put on the website.B.People need praise to make a difference.C.We should do good things in our daily life.D.Lei Feng Day is on Friday.(十)Over your lifetime, your parents are likely to influence you more than anyone else. So if your dad likes football, you might grow up being a football fan. And if your mum loves reading, you might grow up carrying a book, wherever you go, just like she does. It’s interesting, isn’t it?But have you ever thought of how to get along with them? You should spend more time with them. It might be easy to stay in the same place with your mum or dad. But how much time do you spend just enjoying each other’s company(陪伴)? Instead of playing a computer game or watching TV, you can ask your mum and dad to play outside with you.You should also share your feelings with them. Many kids say they’d like their parents to help them when they’re in trouble. But your mum or dad might not know that you’re having some trouble. So please tell them if you’re sad.46.What’s the main idea of Paragraph(段落) One?A.Your parents are likely to influence you more than anyone else.B.If your dad likes football, you might grow up being a football fan.C.If your mum loves reading, you might grow up carrying a book wherever you go.D.It’s interesting to be with parents.47.You might be interested in ________ if your parents like playing badminton.A.tennis B.badminton C.football D.basketball48.What does the underlined word “ influence ” in the passage mean in Chinese?A.伤害B.支持C.影响D.打击49.What should you do to spend more time with your parents?A.Follow your parents everywhere.B.Stay at home all the time.C.Play computer games and watch TV.D.Go outside and play with your parents.50.The best title for the passage is ________.A.Parents’ hobbies B.How to get along with parents?C.Ask for help when you are in trouble D.How to share feelings with parents?(十一)Do you use a phone while walking on the road? Today, more and more people spend too much time watchingthe phones. We call these people the“Heads-down Tribe (低头族)” and we can see them everywhere.More traffic accidents are happening because more drivers use phones when driving. So we’ve made some traffic rules to make drivers drive more carefully. For example, heads-down tribe members who use phones when driving in Taiwan will be fined.Keeping heads down and using phones may cause accidents. Also, some interesting and strange facts happen to the “Heads-down Tribe”. Let’s have a look at the TV report. A man in America kept using his phone on his way home. As a result, he walked into a big lost bear. When he looked up, he was so scared that he turned around and ran away. Another fact is that we often see people in the restaurant eating face to face but focusing on (专注于) the phones. Some of them even have fun communicating with others on the phone.Phones are helpful tools for modern people. Are they good or not? It depends on how people use them. Let’ s be “healthy” users and try to be the“Heads-up Tribe”.根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。

The rich man knew what his servant did , but he had never caught (抓住) his servant doing that.One morning, when he left home, he said to the servant, “Here are two bottles of poison(毒药)and some nice food in the house. You must take care of (看管好)them.” With these words, he went out.But the servant knew that the rich man had said was untrue(假的), after the rich man was away from his home, he enjoyed a nice meal. Because he drank too much, he was drunk (喝醉酒) and fell to the gr ound. When the rich man came back, he couldn’t find his food and his wine. He became very angry. He woke (叫醒)the servant up.

The writer, J.K. Rowling, once said that the character was based on a teacher of hers.The teacher turned out to be John Nettleship, who taught Rowling chemistry. At first, Nettleship felt surprised. "I know I am a strict teacher," he said. "But I don't think I am as bad as Snape!" On second thoughts, however, he said that he was so ill-tempered that most of his students avoided making him mad.

Their products were seen all over the world.Chinese sportswear brand Li Ning was at the New York Fashion Week in September, 2018. They showed their new designs-sweaters and jackets with Chinese characters.Shaun Rein, managing director of China Market Research Group, said that the latest Chinese brands no longer catch customers' eye by low price. He told CNN, "They are sure that they can go head to head with foreign brands. "Maybe it is because China's young people are now more confident about their own culture. They don't show immediate interest in western culture any more." Today's young people in China are crazy about Chinese cultural elements(元素) , " Jin Qu, the manager of a clothing,shoppingwebsite, said at a cultural festival in 2018. " They like these elements printed on their clothes,even the -brand picture of Laoganma in China, which was once seen as outside of fashion. But now young people are proud of these Chinese symbols.”In fact, many stars in the West are now interested in Chinese cultural elements in fashion. Rihanna, a US singer,for example, wore a Chinese red dress to the 2015 Met Gala in New York. The dress was designed and made by Chinese designer Guo Pei."

She knew we were going to have that reaction and just to see that look of satisfaction on her face midway through —it was one of my favorite moments,”Cowell said.The performance was posted On line and before long,the 47-year-old Scottish woman has been famous all over the world.Speaking from her home in Scotland.Ms. Boyle said that she hadn't thought of changing her appearance.She said that her friend helped her with make-up.“I mean,that's hardly a makeover.”she added.Ms. Boyle also spoke of the reason she first began to explore her vocal talents.”I was kind of slow at school, so getting something like singing was a good way of hiding behind that and thus it built my confidence.’’1.Susan Boyle is __________.A.a judge B.a reporterC.a beautiful lady D.a Scottish woman2.Susan Boyle had a look of satisfaction on her face when she was singingbecause _________.A.she was confident of her singingB.she was satisfied with the judgesC.she was pretty and in good shapeD.she sang the song,I Dreamed a Dream from Lea Miserables3.According to the passage,which is NOT true?A.It was the vocal talents that built Susan's confidence.B.Susan Boyle was not good at her lessons when at school.C.Susan Boyle became famous because of her appearance.D.Simon Cowell didn't think Susan Boyle a good singer at the time sight.4.What can we learn from Susan Boyle's success?A.It's never too old to learn.B.It's easier to succeed at the age of 47.C.If you have a dream,try to make it come true!D.If you are not able to study well,to be a singer instead.“Who does the cooking in your home?”I’m often asked by my colleagues. “My wife and I share it 50/50,”I usually say without hesitation.It’s a lie, of course. We’re pretty much even(相等的)when it comes to the children and the elderly. But the paying of bills isn’t 50/50-my wife pays all sorts of household expenses, so I never even have to set eyes on them.And the cooking isn’t 50/50, either.The truth is that I am the cook. On my recent 40th birthday, I received the following gifts from my children: a new pot, two mini bottles of truffle oil, a decorative salad-dressing pourer, and a juice-making machine. For a moment I longed for something more manly, a cricket bat, perhaps, and then had to admit that all these things would be useful for me.It’s not that my wife can’t or doesn’t like to cook (she makes delicious Welsh cakes). Nor has it always been this way. In the early years of our marriage I’d be relaxing with a glass of wine while my wife prepared for dinner after work.But at some point that changed and I became the cook. Ten years with my wife gave me the rewards-I can throw together a roast, and I can make much foreign food. But I have truly become a monster(怪物)in the kitchen, unable to keep myself away from cooking. “You have to add Dijon to the sauce; it brings out the taste of the cheese,”I volunteer, as my wife is cooking. “Quick, stir in the butter so the dish becomes delicious.”Is it any wonder that my wife has given up coming into the kitchen while I find the whole process of chopping, mixing, and adding things deeply satisfying?( )1.What do the writer and his wife probably share evenly at home?a.Cooking in the kitchen. b.Taking care of the children.c.Paying household expenses. d.Taking care of the elderly at home.A.ab B.bc C.bd D.ac( )2.The gifts that the writer received on his 40th birthday show that .A.his children don’t know him at allB.he is in charge of the cooking at homeC.he doesn’t get along well with his childrenD.his children have made wrong choices( )3.What do we know about the writer’s wife?A.She can’t cook. B.She doesn’t like cooking.C.She used to cook for the family. D.She only knows how to make Welsh cakes.( )4.From Paragraph 5 we learn that the writer .A.likes sticking his nose into other people’s businessB.doesn’t think his wife is good at cookingC.studies very hard in order to cook wellD.enjoys cooking in the kitchenDifferent countries have different customs. When you travel to other countries, please follow their customs, just as the saying goes, “_____________________”.Very often people who travel to the United States forget to tip. It is usual to tip porters who help carry your bags, taxi drivers and waiters. Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost of your meal. Taxi drivers expect about the same amount.In England, make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you. It’s important to respect lines there. It’s a good idea to talk about the weather.

People have dinner very late, and restaurants do not generally open until after 9 p.m.In Arab countries, men kiss one another on the cheek(脸颊). Your host may welcome you with a kiss on both cheeks.

Have a look inyour fridge, cupboard, and fruit bowl and check the origins(来源) of the food. Perhapsthere are apples from California, lamb from New Zealand, or potatoes from Egypt? Youwill probably be surprised how far food travels to get to your plate. This journey, from“field to plate”,is called “food miles”. A food mile is the distance that food travels from the farmer's field to the person who buys the food. Nowadays, food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer(消费者). Why is this, and what is the influence of these long distances?Traditionally, farmers sold their food in the local market, so the food didn't have to travel very far. The consumers also did not travel very far because they went to their local market to buy the food. This was a good system for farmers and consumers. However, there were some disadvantages. For example, consumers could only buy food that farmers produced locally. Besides, they could only get food that was in season. Now, because of modern technology, food comes from all over the world. We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes. They are available in winter if we want.Some countries have to import(进口) most of their food. This is because they have difficult climates. The United Arab Emirates (UAE), for example, gets 85% of its food from other countries. Even food made in the UAE often uses imported materials.What's wrong with “food miles”?Is this not a good way of increasing international trade? I believe these miles are worrying for a number of reasons. First of all, because food travels such long distances, we need more planes, lorries, and ships to move the food. This means we use more oil or petrol, so there is more pollution and more global(全球的) warming. In addition, food that travels a long way is not fresh and usually not very tasty. Tomatoes, for example, arepicked early and stored for their long journeys. For this reason, they are usually tasteless when they get to the consumer. Local food has a better taste, and it also reduces the amount of global pollution. We need to buy more local food.1. What is called “food miles”according to this passage?A. The origins of the food.B. The effects of longs distances.C. The journey from field to plate.D. The disadvantages of imported food.2. The underlined word “available”in Paragraph 2 most probably means “”.A. easy to getB. not busyC. willing to talkD. Impossible to get3. Some countries, like the United Arab Emirates, have to import most of their food because of .A. long distancesB. difficult climatesC. fresh and tasty foodD. modern technology4. The writer uses the LAST paragraph mostly to encourage readers to .A. buy more local foodB. increase international tradeC. travel long distancesD. use imported materials5. This passage is mainly about .A. how local food travels from field to plateB. what “food miles”is and its effectsC. how some countries import their foodD. where different kinds of food come from·I·There are many different ways to travel to Paris from London.
