牛津译林版八年级上册英语期中复习：任务型阅读练习题精选(含答案)

牛津译林版八年级上册英语期中复习：任务型阅读练习题精选We all know that everyone has his own dream as well as his own future. But do you know what future really is? I have to say that future is now. That is to say we must treasure (珍惜) every minute now. If we want to have a bright future, we should know how important time is and use it well.There is an old English saying: “Gain time, gain life.”Then what’s time? Time is something that we can’t see or touch, but we can feel it passing by. Time is always with us. When we are at table, time passes; when we play, time goes by unnoticeably. We always say “Time is money”, but time is even more precious (珍贵的) than money, because when money is spent, we can earn it back. But if time is gone, it will never return (回来). So, some of us even say time is priceless.We should always remember: future is now. For us students, we should work hard in order to make our own future better. We should make the best use of every hour and be the master of today. We should do what we can to do everything as well as possible. And never put off what we can do today till tomorrow.As we all know, “Time and tide wait for no man.”If you waste today, you will regret (后悔) tomorrow. So from now on, work hard. Tomorrow will be better, and your future will be brighter. Remember: “No pains, no gains.”Today’s hard work is the cause(原因) of tomorrow’s harvest.Title: Future and 11. ___Today / Present___2. __useful_3. __Time___4. __come___5. __best__DIY means making or creating things on your own, with your own hands. It may take much time, but some people, now known as DIYers —do-it-yourselfers, enjoy doing it very much. They are interested in it because it is fun. And they also say it helps them save money, too. What’s more, they think it is a good way to protect the environment. It is a kind of green life. In fact, DIY is not a modern thing in China. Many people remember when it was once a way of life in the past. During the 1960s and 1970s, when there were not enough living things for people to live on, they had to use their own hands to do many things. If you wanted something, you had to do it yourself, and if you needed something, you made it yourself.Times have changed and DIY also has different meanings.。

How do we make the school safer and keep us away from danger?Here are some tips for us to be safe in an easy way.For example,we must remember some important rules in the playground. Before we do sports,we need to do some warm up activities(热身运功),and after that we should drink some water.And in the classroom,we need to learn how to behave well.Don’t run in the hallways.We mustn’t fight with or run after each other.And teachers need to keep an eye on the students after class and stop them from running.We students should remember not to be naughty and get into trouble.What’s more,we can have some practice to learn to protect ourselves from a fire.In this way,we can know where to go if there is a fire in our school.We should learn to use the fire extinguisher（灭火器）,too.I don’t think we should put our a fire by ourselves,because it is too dangerous for young students.Well,I think all of us should think more of our safety in school.How to keep___1_____in the schoolIn the playground Do some warm up activities__2___doing sports Drink some water___3_____doing sportsIn the__4____Don’t run in the hallways.Teachers need to__5___their students carefully.

The centre of a hurricane is called the eye.While most of a hurricane has dangerously strong winds,the eye is actually(事实上)a calm area in the storm.When the eye of a hurricane passes over land,people might think that it’s over,but before long the wind and rain increase again as the second part of the hurricane moves through.Hurricane Safety TipsThere is no way to stop a hurricane or make it change direction,so if you ever find yourselfin the path of a hurricane,be sure to remember the following safety tips.·Be sure you have a radio,batteries,fresh drinking water,and enough food.·Tell neighbours,friends,and family members your emergency plans.Tell them where you’ll go if you need to leave your home.·If you live near the ocean,leave your home and travel to a safe place.You could stay with a friend or a family member,in a hotel/motel,or in an emergency shelter area.·Stay inside during the storm.You could be seriously injured(受伤)if you go outside.HurricanesCharacteristics Hurricane Season usually1about6months in the Atlantic Ocean and6.5 months in the Pacific Ocean.Devastating waves,wind,and rain are usually the2of hurricanes.Categories Hurricanes have been3into five categories by scientists,based on wind speeds.A Category5hurricane can destroy all the4along the shorelines.5When a hurricane comes together with heavy rainfall,a terrible6may happen.The eye is the7of a hurricane.Soon after it passes,the wind and rain increase again.Safety Tips It’s8to stop a hurricane or change its direction.Don’t9the safety tips if you find yourself in the path of a hurricane.Stay inside during the storm,10you could be seriously injured.1. 2. 3. 4. 5.6.7.8.9.10.Everyone needs friends.We all like to feel close to someone.It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with.Certainly,we need to be alone sometimes.We don’t always want people around.But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.Sometimes friends don’t make each other happy.That doesn’t mean that they don’t like each other any more.Most of the time,they will make up and go on being friends.Sometimes friends move away.Then we feel very sad.If we miss them very much,we can call them or write to them.Maybe,we can never see them again.However,we can make new friends.It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them, There is more good news for people who have friends.They live longer than people who don’t.Why?It could be that they are much happier.Being happy helps you to stay well.We will feel happy1a friend.When friends make each other2,you will make up or go on being friends.

He always chose the nickel and they laughed.One day a woman felt sorry for him. She asked, "Why do you never take a dime and always choose a nickel instead?

牛津译林版八年级英语上册任务型阅读专题练习(含答案)

牛津译林版八年级英语上册任务型阅读专题练习A game of catch is not difficult at all. Two people throw a ballback and forth( 来回地掷球). It seems a little boring. The twopeople are close enough to talk, but they can’t touch each other.In fact, playing catch is part of baseball practice. It’s a populargame. Because baseball is an American sport and a big part of being American, playing catch is kind of an all-American dad activity. Outside cities, most people have backyards – not large enough to play baseball in, but just big enough for a game of catch. Those without yards can play in streets.But any American kid will tell you it’s much more than a game. Playing catch is a time to be with your father. It’s a time when there’s nothing to worry about except( 除了) catching a ball. When they play it, words move together with the ball itself, back and forth, easy and relaxing(放松). Kids and dads spend time together.The game can be good memories(记忆) of dads. Why? Dads are usually very busy. This is a time when a kid has all of his or her dad’s attention(注意力). There is no work, no phone and no other people around to take your dad away from you. For the time that it takes to play a game of catch, your dad is all yours.The Game of61What’s the game It’s part of baseball62.A 63 game•Two people throw a ball back and forth.•They can talk but can’t64each other when playing it.A 65 game•Catch is an all-American activity because 66is part of beingAmerican.•People play the game in yards or67.•Players needn’t worry about 68 except catching a ball,69and theball move together when they play it.A Dad-kid game•Kids and dads spend time together.•A kid can have the 70of his or her Dad when they play the game.61.

You need days like this, or how would you know you are happy? You’ll enjoy your good days even more when you have a few bad days. Even if sadness is a part of life, let’s try to make it small. Here are a few simple ways to help you feel better when you are feeling sad.1. Stand up straight and this helps your energy flow(流动). When your energy is flowing freely, you can flow too.3. Smile! It’s easy to do and have good results. This way can not only leave you in a good mood but also bring others a good mood.3. Listen to music. It can be your favourite music. Some kinds of music work better than others, so try and find out what kind of music works the best for you.4. Take some “me” time. You can find pleasure in reading a book, watching a sunrise or having a hot bath, or something like that.5. Exercise. Even something as simple as taking a walk will get your blood flowing. It is a great way to clear your mind of anything that makes you sad.These ways will cheer you up when you are down, but don’t just use them when you are sad. Try and practice them every day to make them a habit. You will be surprised to learn that these simple ways will keep your sadness away.

It means I could stay in bed for one more hour.On the first day, all the new students had a meeting. The headmaster told us about the school rules. He also told us that the best way to get respect(尊重) was to study hard and get high grades. This sounded like my school in China.We had to move to different classrooms for different classes. We also had different students in some classes, so it was difficult for me to remember all the faces and names.I found that the homework was not as heavy as what I did in my old school. Yet it was a bit difficult for me at first, because all the homework was in English. We had many subjects: English, History, Science, Art and so on, but we can stop studying some subjects if we have no interest in them. Then they can choose some other subjects.I missed Chinese food a lot at lunch. British food is very different. British people like eating desserts(甜点) which usually come after their main meal. After lunch, we usually played on the school playground or relaxed under a tree.I felt very lucky to experience this different way of life.

A show of interest must be true. It brings good results not only to the person showing the interest, but also to the person receiving the attention(注意).An Easy Way to Make a Good First Impression(印象)Smile as often as you can. Your smile is a sign of kindness. When someone feels sad, your smile is like the sun breaking through the clouds; your smile can help him or her realize that all is hopeful—there is still joy in the world.If You Don’t Do This, You Are Getting into TroubleRemember a person’s name. A person’s name is the sweetest and the most important sound in any language. We should realize the magic in a name. The name makes the person different from others; it makes him or her special among all others.A Good Way to Become a Good TalkerBe a careful listener first. Ask questions that other people will like to answer. Encourage(鼓励) them to talk about themselves and their achievements. What you need to do is just to listen, because people are much more interested in themselves.56. 57. 58. 59. 60.61. 62. 63. 64. 65.56.

Haze can also be called “Smog”. The word "smog" is from the words “smoke” and “fog”, it first appeared in the early20th century, It is a kind of air pollution（污染）caused（导致）mostly by cars and factories. Smog will do great harm（伤害）to your health, especially lungs（肺）.It can make you cough and cause skin and eye problems. It seems that we can do nothing to stop it, but only wait until the wind blows all the smog away. However, there are some easy ways to prevent it hurting you. Here are some of them.1. Don’t do exercise in the open.Exercising in the open makes you breathe（呼吸）deeply, and you will take in the particles （颗粒物）deep into your lungs.2. Stay indoors and keep the air clean.If you can, just stay in your room and keep the doors and windows closed. Remember to air your room twice a day, you can open the window at noon or at night for half an hour.3. Wear a mask.Paper and cotton masks can not help you in the haze weather. Some special masks, such as N95 masks, can keep you from breathing in the particles in the air.4. Change your diet.Scientists find that vitamin A, C and E can greatly help protect your eyes, nose and lungs.So eat more green vegetables and fresh fruit everyday. What’s more, do not eat food with too much fat （脂肪），it’s bad for your lungs.The haze weatherWhat is haze?·It’s 56 smog, a kind of smoky and 57 weather.·It is a kind pollution caused by cars and 58 .What is the harm?·It is 59 for our health.·Don’t 61 outside.·Stay indoors as long as possible with the doors and windows 62 .·Remember to open the windows for a while to keep the 63 clean. · 64 a mask to prevent taking in the particles.60 to prevent the haze?·Change your diet.

Many children say that they are just happy. Because sometimes when you want to share your joy with others, you also sing.Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because of happy feelings. However they sing most of the time for a different reason. Their singing is in fact a warning (警告) to other birds to stay away from their territory.Then what is a “territory”? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims asits own. Only he and his family can stay there. For example, people’s garden and house are their territories. If a strange person wants to come to your territory and hurt you, you may shout. This might be enough to make him afraid and go away.If so, people drive the person away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. He screams. But he does it almost any time, especially at nesting(筑巢) seasons. And birds sing louder in spring than in other seasons. This screaming is what we called a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.You can see that birds have a language of their own.Title: Why do bird sing?Children’sideaBirds sing to share their 66 with other birdsSometimes birds sing because they feel 68 .People may 70 to make strangers stay away from theirterritory.Like people, birds warn other birds to stay away byscreaming, without 71 themA bird screams at 72 time.

People write blogs about all kinds of things, from news and events (大事) to hobbies and reviews (评论). Some people use them justas a simple record(记录) what they did.

New technologies(技术) have made keeping a blog an easy thing to do .,so millions of people now have their own blogs. They are usually free to set up and easy to update(更新). You can upload(上传)pictures onto a blog and link （链接）to other websites.(网址). To many people ,these feathers (特征) make blogs much more useful than traditional diaries.We are able to send texts , pictures and videos (录像) from our mobile phonesdirectly(直接地) onto the Web . New technologies like this are making blogging even easier ,people also think blogs are better than newspapers for finding out about news ,events and ideas .They like to use blogs because they can get information from everywhere .It looks like blogs are going to become one of the most important ways to find and share information in the near future.Title : Basic Knowledge of A Blog (博客的基本常识)Some people believe that people from the same country share similar (相似的) characteristics. This is why you might hear someone saying "She is typical(典型的) Australian" or "He is so French". Here are some examples.FrenchFrench people are romantic and outgoing. They have great love for life, food and wine.They are good at singing and dancing.ChineseChinese are friendly and hard-working people. They are polite because they are careful about "saving face" when they are with other people.AustraliansAustralians are happy people. They spend a lot of time outdoors. They enjoy a slower life. They laugh a lot but sometimes people think they are loud and rude.GermansGermans are often serious and careful. They are hard workers and do everything carefully. However, sometimes people say Germans have no sense of humour.All these national types can be true for some people, but very wrong for others. For example, you might meet a German who is a confident singer with a great sense of humour, or an Australian who is shy and quiet!Let me give you some useful ways to study. You may think you will never be a top student.Anyone can learn better if he or she wants. Here is how.Plan your time with careMake a list (清单) of the things that you have to do. After making the list, you should plan your time. First plan your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good regular (有规律的) time for studying. Don’t forget to leave some time for your hobbies.Find a good place to studyLook around the house for a good study area. It may be a desk, a corner of your room, free of everything but（除了）study things.Make good use of your time in classListen to everything the teacher says. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.Study regularlyWhen you get home from school, go over (复习) your notes. Going over the important language points will help you to prepare for the next class.Never give up if you don’t pass a testA test can show what you learn about a subject. It helps you remember things better. Don’t be too worried. Th e world won’t end if you don’t pass a test.How can you help yourself learn a new language, such as English? There are several ways to make learning English easier and more interesting.The first step is to believe that you can learn well. If you believe that you can learn well,you will learn well. Be patient. You don’t have to understand everything all at once. It is usual to make mistakes when you learn something new. We can learn from our mistakes.The second step is to practice your English. For example, practice speaking or making notes every day. You will be good at speaking or writing in English. After several weeks, you will see that your English is better. And you must practice speaking English when you have any time. You can practice with your classmates outside class.The third step is to keep a diary of your language learning. After each class, think about what you did. Did you answer a question correctly? Did you understand something the teacher talked about? Perhaps the lesson was difficult, but you tried to understand it. Write down what you learn in your diary.You must have confidence about learning English and believe that you can do it. It’s important to practice every day.Four ways to have a good school lifeYour schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How can you get the most from them, and be sure you do not waste (浪费) this great chance to learn?Be active(积极的) at school . Don’t say things are difficult or boring. Take interest in school life and your school subjects. Join lots of activities. Put up your hands quickly in class. Go around the school with a big smile. If you are not working, you are wasting your time at school. Teachers cannot make everything enjoyable（令人愉快的）.Keep fit . If you don’t eat a good breakfast, you will be thinking ab out food in class. Ifyou go to bed late and don’t have enough sleep, you will be sleepy in class. Play enough sports every day in order to keep your body strong.Face the problem . Do not say you will do things tomorrow. If you get behind the class, it is very difficult to get back in front. You cannot finish the race if you rest all the time. Everyone fails some exams, loses some matches and has bad days. Don’t make small problems very big and important. Don’t forget to ask for help. You are young, and n o one thinks you must de everything quite well!Spend the weekends . Don’t waste time lying in bed on Saturday or Sunday morning. Go and play sports, get together with friends in the park to relax, or learn to play the piano. If you don’t want to go out, there are also a lot of things to do. You may read a book, practice English or help Mum with housework.Follow our advice, and have a happy school life!Good morning, boys and girl. Today I’ll talk about going online. We know that there are too many net bars around us. The Internet can make our lives interesting and enjoyable. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer. We canlearn English and read some newspapers and magazines to know more information around us. It can make us clever in playing computer games. Also we can send e-mails to our friends quickly. It can help us contact people from all over the world.But some students spend too much time in playing computer games and some stay in the net bars all day and all night. Some girls even get to have boyfriends or some boys get to have girlfriends online. They write too many letters to each other. It takes them too much time to chat online so they do worse in their lessons and they don’t study well any more. I think we mustn’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. I think we should get online with our teachers or parents. At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some activities after class. We usually have activities from 4：50 to 5：50 in the afternoon . You can play basket ball or football. We also have some interest groups in school, such as drawing, singing and dancing. We can go to the English corner on Monday afternoon. We hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet.The tiger is the largest wild cat in the world. The big cat weighs about 363 kilograms and is about two meters long.Tigers wait until it is dark, and then they go out to find their food. When a tiger sees an animal, it moves very quietly, and then jumps on the animal to kill it. Sometimes it can takeseveral days for a tiger to finish eating its kill. The tiger eats until it has enough, then it covers the dead（死的）animal with leaves. Later when the tiger is hungry again, it comes back to eat some more.The tigers are different from others in the cat family. They like water and they often jump into rivers to swim.Some tigers live in very cold places in India and parts of South Asia.All tigers are in danger. People kill them to use their skins (皮) for clothes, and their bodies for medicine. In addition, there is also less and less land for tigers to live on. But now people know that tigers are in danger and are making plans to protect them.Title: the largest 41．catWhat is DIY? Why do many people like it?Yang Chen works for a computer company(公司) in Beijing. He enjoys his work, but it is not easy for him to relax after work. One day when he saw many toy dogs in a toy shop, he had an idea. “Why not make them myself? Then he began to ma ke model planes, model ships andsomething else. Soon he has great interest in it because it brings him lots of fun and makes life colourful. So what is DIY? Yes, it is making things on your own, with your own hands. It may take much time, but some people enjoy doing it very much. They enjoy it because it is fun. And they also say it helps them save money too. What’s more, they think it is a good way to protect the environment(环境). It is a kind of green life.In fact, DIY is not a modern thing in China. Many people remember when it was once a way of life in the past. During the 1960s and the 1970s, when there were not enough living things for people to live on, they had to use their own hands to do many things. If you wanted something you had to do it yourself, and if you needed something, you made it yourself.Times have changed and DIY also has different meanings.根据短文内容，完成下列表格.Good morning, boys and girls. Today I’ll talk about going online.We know that there are too many Net bars (网吧) around us. The Internet can make our lives interesting. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use computers. We can learn English and read some newspapers and magazines to know more around us.

牛津译林版八年级英语上册专题练习--任务型阅读理解(含答案) (2)

牛津译林版八年级英语上册专题练习--任务型阅读理解Creating a study planStudying is important to students. But it is always difficult to find enough time to study every subject you need. So a good plan helps you to make sure of your success in study.Then, how to make a study plan? Well, you can begin with listing all the subjects you need to study and make sure what you need to do for each subject. Next,you should decide how much time you should spend on differentsubjects. Now, it is a good idea to study at the same time every day.In this way, you actually have a plan you can remember easily.While arranging ( 安排) time for each subject, you also need tomake sure that you still have time for family, friends and rest. Thisis because you won't be able to succeed in your studies unless you balance Your personal life and your study.Once the plan is made, the next thing you need to do is to follow it. One of the biggest challenges in following your study plan is that you will be tempted ( 诱惑) to avoid it and do something relaxing, or fun instead. Luckily, you can fight this temptation by taking breaks. But be sure not to take extra breaks or too long breaks as it can affect your plan. So at the start of your break，set an alarm clock to remind you when your break is over. Also, you need to use your break wisely. For example, go for a short walk, eat a small snack, or listen to some music.To avoid forgetting to follow your plan, try to get into the habit of looking at your calendar every day. Sometimes our plans are herd to follow because some important people in our lives distract ( 使分心) us from our goals. In order to avoid this, tell people in your life about your plan. Put up a copy of your study guide at home so you and your family can see it, and email a copy to your friends so they know when you have spare time.Creating a study planThe(76) _________ of a study plan.

Just when you think you nearly reach it, something unexpected happens. This may puzzle you a lot.Here are some tips for helping you find happiness.Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. If you depend on one thing or one person to make you happy, it may be impossible. You need to enlarge your circle of friends and activities.Follow your heart. When we go against our own thoughts, we usually feel sad. Follow your strong feeling and let it guide you through your life. Day by day, you will be happier than before.Organize your ideas. Many people push away happiness when they think too much. Don't keep everything in head. Try to make a list of the things that you find difficult to do. You may find the list isn’t as long as you thought. You can do most of the things on your own.Look at your life as a whole. Most of the things that prevent us from feeling happy are just some little things.Remember that life will always continue, and everything will be fine in the end.Happiness can be hard to feel at times, but don’t feel worried.

Cherie Blair, wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, said that she would prepare a packed lunch for her son if school dinners do not improve. So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school?JapanHigh schools have canteens, which serve everything from noodles to rice, but not burgers and chips. Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls, meat or fish, pickles(泡菜) and vegetables.Students take home a menu for the coming month containing notes on nutrition value.Twice a year parents are invited to have a taste of the food. The class with the fewest leftovers(剩饭) at the end of the month receives a prize.United StatesA typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken, lettuce and pickles, fruit and cookies. School lunches must also provide at least one-third of the daily dietary allowances(定量) of protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium and calories.AustraliaMeat pies, sausage rolls and hot dogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops. But as the nation pays more attention to children’s health, healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus.Many schools have used a traffic light system. The sale of red-labeled foods, including pastries, chocolate and soft drinks, is served only twice a week. Healthier green-labeled foods such as sushi, sandwiches, corn and watermelon, however, are available every day.In some schools, students have a choice of up to 89 foods to choose from, including popcorn and rice.South AfricaMost of South Africa's schools do not serve meals at all. Classes end at 1:30 pm and students get their own lunches. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches.Fast food and fried food sell the best among students, which has led to a rise in obesity among children. But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different diseases, some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition(营养). Now students at these schools are provided with lunches of porridge with vegetables, such as cabbages, onions, beans, carrots and tomatoes.Schools serve different foods in different (71) _____.Japan In high schools, children can buy everything, such as noodles and rice. But they can’t buy burgers and (72) _____ from canteens.Some children (73)_____food from their homes.The class will get a prize if they have the (74)_____ leftovers in a (75)_____ .

If you answered much happier, then you were right, according to a study in 2008. It found that people always become happier and experience less worry after age fifty. In fact, it found that by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were at eighteen.The findings came from a Gallup survey of more than three hundred forty thousand adults in the United States in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.Arthur Stone, a professor at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five had more life problems. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.Happiness was the highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns (情感状态) as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, losing jobs or being single.But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness connected to the age.So why would happiness grow with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions (感情). They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.Happiness is not the only thing that obviously improves with the age. In a study, people intheir eighties reported the fewest problems with their sleep.Scientists wanted to make people know that aging is connected with more sleep problems. For people, sleep is very important. The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women. But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older.The 81 of a study in 200881. findings 82. something 83. eighteen 84. ages 85. highest86.

But I’ve thought a lot about the life that you have ahead of you, and I write it down to help you along your path by sharing some of the best of what I’ve learned.Life can be unkindThere will be people in your life who won't be very nice. They’ll laugh at you or try to hurt you because you’re different. There’s not much you can do about these people except to learn to deal with them, and learn to choose friends who are kind to you and who make you feel good about yourself. When you find friends like this, treasure them, spend time with them and love them.Life isn’t a competitionThere are many people better than you, in school, in college, at work. To them, life is a competition. But here’s the secret: life isn’t a competition. It's a journey. Learn to enjoy t he journey and make it a journey of happiness, of continual improvement, of love.Love should be your ruleIf there’s a word you should live your life by, it should be this: love. It might sound out of date, I know, but trust me, there’s no better rule in life. Love not only your loved ones, but your neighbors, your co-workers, strangers, even your enemy. The person who is hardest on you, unkind to you…, love him. He is most in need of your love. And most of all, love yourself and learn to love yourself for who you are.Finally, know that I love you and always will.

牛津译林版八年级英语上学期任务型阅读理解专题练习(含答案)

牛津译林版八年级英语上学期任务型阅读理解专题练习五、任务型阅读(共10小题，每小题1分，计10分)阅读下列面文，根据短文内容完成表格中所失的信息，每空一词。

I wrote my “Welcome to London” guide because I wanted my friends to enjoy every minute while they are in my home city．London is one of the biggest cities in Europe(欧洲), and so it can be a difficult place to understand．First, about transport, there is almost too much choice!

They do not just look like each other. In fact, they are the same person. Heisler ‘made” this funny picture on the computer. But in the future, with the science of ‘cloning’ (copying l iving things), a picture like this one may not just be a computer trick.The idea of cloning began a long time ago. It became real when some animals like frogs were successfully cloned. At first, I didn’t care much about these studies. However, when somes tudies showed that even “people” could be cloned, I felt the studies had gone too far.I don’t know much about science, but I do know I would hate to live on a planet full of copies of me. I found myself scared by the smiles of the copied boys when I looked at the picture again. To me, a world of cloned people is a world where the rules of nature are broken, which may bring a lot of problems we’ve never thought of.( )1. How did Gregory get this picture?A. He took it with his camera.B. He drew it himself.C. He asked a boy to draw it.D. He made it on the computer.( )2. How many real person are there in the picture?A. Only one.B. Two.C. Three.D.

Are there people living on other planets? I have so many questions about it.Some people think that there are aliens in the outer space. Some also say they saw the UFOs in the space in the past. They say that the UFOs fly much faster than planes. People think that there are visitors in the UFOs. They also think that those visitors are scientists. They visit the earth to study the life on the earth. They may be living among us.However, some other people do not agree with this idea. They think the UFOs are not from the outer space. What they have seen may be a balloon or an airplane. Because they don’t have the same opinion, they call the things UFOs.( )1. Which of the following is the boy’s interest in common according to the passage?A. Science stories.B. The size of the universe.C. The people on other planets.D. The mystery of the universe.( )2.

And in the classroom, we need to learn how to behave well・ Don, run in the hallways・ We mustn^t fight with or run after each other. And teachers need to keep an eye on the students after class and stop them from running. We students should remember not to be naughty and get into trouble. What's more, we can have some practice to learn to protect ourselves from a fire. In this way, we can know where to go if there is a fire in our school.

While most of a hurricane has dangerously strong winds, the eye is actually （事实上）a calm area in the storm. When the eye of a hurricane passes over land, people might think that it's over, but before long the wind and rain increase again as the second part of the hurricane moves through.Hurricane Safety TipsThere is no way to stop a hurricane or make it change direction, so if you ever find yourself in the path of a hurricane, be sure to remember the following safety tips.•Be sure you have a radio, batteries, fresh drinking water, and enough food・•Tell neighbours, friends, and f amily members your emergency plans.

牛津译林版8A 英语期中专题练习—阅读理解

牛津译林版8A英语期中专题练习—阅读理解( 1 )Anne and Joseph are talking about an interesting question. Why do some people change their names? There can be many reasons. Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it would be easier for people to remember. On the other hand, Joseph is thinking about changing his name to an unusual name because she wants to be different.Some famous people often have interesting reasons for changing their names. Film stars, singers, sportsmen often change names because they want names that are not ordinary(普通的),or that have special sounds. Some even believe that new names can bring them good luck. So many stars chose the “new name” for themselves instead of the name their parents gave them when they were “born”.Some people have another reason for changing their names. They have moved to a new country and want to use a name that is usual there. For example, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he moved to the United States. He uses the name Ken at his job and at school. But with his family and Chinese friends, he uses Li Kaiming. For some people, using different names makes life easier in their new country.In many countries, a woman changes her family name to her husband’s after she gets married. But today, many women are ke eping their own family names and not using their husbands’. Sometimes, women use their own names in some situations(情况) and their husbands’ in other situations. And some use both their own names and their husbands’1. Hanna changes her name to Anne because “Anne” is for people to remember.A. louderB. easierC. prettierD. harder2.

Scientists (科学家) once thought that man is different from animals because he can think and learn. They now know that dogs, rats and birds can learn too. They are beginning to understand that man is different from animals because he can speak. Animals can not speak. They make noises when they are afraid or unhappy. Apes(类人猿) can understand something more quickly than man. One or two of them havelearned a few words. But they cannot put them together to make sentences. They cannot think like us because they have no language.Language is a wonderful thing. Man can build a modern world because he has language.Every child can speak his own language very well when he is four or five, but no animal learns to speak. How do children learn it? Scientists do not really know. What happens inside our body? They do not know. They only know that man can speak because he has a brain.5.

Unluckily, the cigarette fell into the waste paper basket, and then it caught fire. There was a curtain (窗帘) near the waste paper basket. It caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was burning. The principal phoned for the firemen. The school is a long way from the town and by the time the firemen arrived, the whole school was on fire. Many of the girls are in hospital.The principal said that the fire was all because of me and you must pay for the damage ( 损失). She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.

When you hear some words you don’t know, don’t spend too much time on them. Very often, you’ll find out what they mean later when you go on with the listening.13. It’s better for you to keep ________ when you start to have a listening test.A. excitedB. relaxedC. stressed outD. worried14.

Then the father explained, “People call this ‘Echo’, but really this is life. It gives you back everything you say or do. Our life is just a reflection (反映) of what we have done. If you want more love in the world, have more love in your heart. If you want to be successful, work hard. This can be used in everything in life.

Lovely day, isn’t it?”He was very happy, and his eyes showed his happiness. But Alice saw that he had no teeth. “Good morning!” said Alice. “Yes, it’s a lovely day.”Alice thought he was old and clever. She thought he must be more than 90 years old. She wanted to ask him about the secret of a happy old age.“Excuse me. But what is your secret for being so happy at your age? I hope I can look as happy as you do when I am your age.”The man in the chair said, “My secret for happiness? I smoke every day, and drink three bottl es of wine every day. I eat hamburgers, I eat chocolate and I never eat vegetables. I never walk anywhere and I never play sports. I sit and watch TV all day.”Alice couldn’t understand. She wanted to know how the man got to be so old when he did everything wrong. She thought he should be sick and unhappy. Perhaps she was wrong.

The teacher told them to help themselves to the coffee.When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the teacher said, “Can you notice that all of you took nice-looking expensive cups, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones? You want onlythe best for yourselves, and that is the source (根源) of your problems.”“What all of you re ally wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you went for the best cups and then began looking at each other’s cups.”“Now think about this: life is the coffee, and the jobs, money and position (位置) in society are the cups.

The other muscles can then help the lower back muscles.As you lower yourself, try to get as close to thing as you can, put one knee on each side of the thing. Remember at all times to keep your back straight. Put your hand under the thing that is in front of you, between your knees.To lift the thing, you should stand up slowly. Use your leg muscles in order to stand up. In other words, lift with your legs, not with your back.38. Which part of your body is more easily to be hurt when you lift heavy things?A.

People planned to build a new clock which would be the biggest and the best in the world. So the clock had to be big and keep very good time. Several years later the tower was finished. The people put the big clock in the tower, and made it ring out for the first time on July 11, 1859.In order to give the big clock a good name, people held a meeting. Someone wanted to call it the Queen of Bells, and someone thought Victoria was good. At last, a man named Benjamin Hall stood up. He was a big man. Before he started to speak, someone shouted, “Why not call it Big Ben?” Everybody laughed and agreed with him.From then on, Big Ben became its name. And it also became a famous building of London.

Both the patch and the tree gave the place a wonderful look, and they were the pride(骄傲) of the gardener. But no one know that the vegetables and the tree couldn’t stand (忍受) each other. The vegetables hated the tree’s shadow (阴影) , because it left them only just enough light to live. The tree, on the other hand, hated the vegetables because they drank nearly all the water, leaving him just enough to live.Their problem became so serious that the vegetables decided to use up all the water in the ground so that the tree would die. The tree answered back by not protecting the vegetables from the hot sun, so they began to dry up. Soon the vegetables were really weak, and the tree was drying up.The gardener wondered why and stopped watering them. When he did that, both the tree and the vegetables found that it was better to help each other. They learned how to live in harmony with those around them. So they decided to work together, using both the shade and the water to grow well. After seeing how well they were doing, the gardener gave the best care to the vegetable patch, watering and fertilizing (施肥) it better than any other patch for miles around.54. Why didn’t the vegetables and the tree get on well with each other?A. Because the vegetables wanted more light.B. Because the tree drank almost all the water.C.

A child came to se e him fishing. The old man was really good at fishing and it didn’t take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish. But the child shook（摇）her head. The old m an was surprised and asked, “Why don’t you want the fish?” Thechild answered, “I want the fishing rod(竿) in your hands.”The old man asked, “Why do you want the rod?”“It doesn’t take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won’t be afraid of not having any more fish to eat.”I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesn’t know how to fish, she can not have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod. It’s useless to only have a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the most important, not the fishing rod.Too many people think that if they have a “fishing rod” in their life, they will no longer fear(害怕)the wind and rain. They are just like the child, who thought that if she had a fishing rod, she would have fish to eat.58. Why did the child refuse(拒绝) the fish the old man gave her?A. Because she didn’t like fishB.
