Thankfully, after I explained my 20 plan to them, including what to do, whom to go with and how to keep safe there, they said yes.When our group arrived in Gary, 21 , I found the town was different from where I lived.

To relax, they invented many games. Here are some of them.ChuiwanChuiwan was very popular in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). “Chui” means “hit” and “wan” means “ball”. This sport was similar to golf. On a large field, the players were divided into two groups. Usually there were 2 to 10 people in each group. Everyone had three chances to hit the ball into holes with a stick. Only when the balls were hit into the hole 3 times, could the player win the point.ArcheryIn Western Zhou Dynasty (1046-771BC), archery was an important part of education for gentlemen. At 15, they began learning archery. The most famous competition was Grand Archery. It was held by the emperor, the head of the country. The competitors greeted each other before shooting arrows and drank together after it. As one of the six Chinese arts, archery didn’t become popular until Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the emperors used archery to fight, and to make themselves fit.CujuFirst recorded 2,000 years ago, cuju is known as the earliest form of football: The ball was made of hard leather on the outside and filled with feathers or rice bran inside. As a fun game, cuju was first used in the army to train soldiers. Its rules were similar to the rules of football. Each team usually had 12 or 16 players. No hands were allowed. Only feet and head could be used. The ball should be hit into the other team’s goal.26．What sport was chuiwan similar to?A．B．C．D．27．Which is not the reason for people to learn archery across history?A．To educate young people.B．To protect themselves from attack.C．To keep strong.D．To compete against emperors.28．What can we know about cuju?A．The ball was hard outside and empty inside.B．It was played by 12 or 16 players.C．It was invented to relax soldiers.D．Players could use head and feet to hit the ball.It was a week before I saw Captain Nemo again. Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had come to the top. I would go out and see thesunrise.Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to run away. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island. “I thought you preferred the sea.”“I do,” replied the Captain. “But these forests are under the sea.” During breakfast, he explained, “I have made diving suits that used special air tanks before I sent you the note. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. Wonderful, isn’t it?” He said he had also made lights that worked in electric batteries. When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all.Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room was filled with water, and another door opened. We went through it, and we were on the sea floor. It was an amazing experience.We were about ten metres under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colours of the shells, fish and seaweed. Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper.As we were a hundred metres under the water, we could still see quite well. Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” there were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small bushes grew under the large seaweed trees.Three hours later, we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up, we explored further.(Adapted from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea) 29．According to paragraph 1-3, which is NOT true?A．In the beginning, I was on the ship Nautilus.B．Ned, Captain Nemo, and I would explore together.C．The Captain started the trip because of his love for the sea.D．Captain Nemo had made special suits for our exploration.30．In what order did the following events happen?a. We went through a door to the bottom of the sea.b. We reached the undersea forests.c. Captain Nemo invited me to explore the forests.d. Captain Nemo got ready for the trip.e. We saw colorful seashells and crossed a grassy area.A．d-c-a-e-b B．d-c-a-b-e C．c-d-a-e-b D．c-d-a-b-e 31．How did I feel when visiting the forest?A．Tired.B．Hungry.C．Amazed.D．Proud.32．What will the story probably continue to talk about?A．When they returned to their ship.B．What they dreamed about while sleeping.C．Why they felt so sleepy.D．How they travelled deeper.The XinjiangSalamandersKnown as Central Asian salamanders, the Xinjiang salamander is an amphibian （两栖动物）that has lived for more than 300 million years. For a long time, they were thought to have died out. In 1989, they were discovered again in Xinjiang. They are considered to be a living fossil of amphibians.Population:The population of Xinjiang salamanders has risen from around 1,700 in 2015 to over 3,000 in 2018.Appearancе:It’s a “four-footed fish” around 20 centimeters long and much smaller than other giant salamanders, with an oval body, long tail and smooth skin.Home:The Xinjiang salamander is only found around Tianshan Mountain, Xinjiang, but in no other places in the world.Food:Because of the bad weather in Tianshan Mountain, the Xinjiang salamanders do not have many kinds of food to eat. They mainly feed on insects in water, such as caddisflies, betonies and stoneflies.Behaviour:Xinjiang salamanders have poor eyesight. They often get lost on land, especially on cloudy and rainy days. They are afraid of light, so they often live under stones or grass. They also produce eggs under stones. If cows and sheep on the farm pass by, they would accidentally step on them. Salamanders have no natural enemies except themselves: young salamanders are often eaten by adult salamanders!Protection:The weather in Tianshan often changes greatly, making it difficult for the Xinjiang salamanders to live there. Besides, with decreasing wetlands and increasing human activities, its population dropped quickly. To protect the amphibians from dying out, a large nature reserve was set up in Wenquan County in 1997. People have also tried to protect the grassland and wetland where they live, and have built a monitoring system to learn about their growth. In 2016, a scientific research and education center was put into operation. In 2022, 139 baby salamanders were born there.33．What does the underlined sentence try to show about Xinjiang salamanders?A．They can live longer than dinosaurs.B．They are old, so they can become valuable fossils.C．They appeared in ancient times but have lived till now.D．They are thought to be the oldest living animals.34．What can we know about Xinjiang salamanders from the passage?A．Their population grew fast from 2015 to 2018.B．They are almost as big as other giant salamanders.C．They can also be found outside Xinjiang.D．They have rich food choices.35．Which helps Xinjiang salamanders keep safe?A．Living with farm animals.B．Lying under stones and grassland.C．Travelling on land in terrible weather.D．Keeping baby and adult salamanders together.36．What’s the purpose of the passage?A．To explain how Xinjiang salamanders become living fossils.B．To tell new discoveries about Xinjiang salamanders.C．To show general information about a special salamander.D．To encourage people to visit surprising salamanders in Xinjiang.How are animals communicating with each other? In the past, we could only study this by watching animals carefully or teaching them human language. But now with the help of AI and machine learning, we may be able to understand their languages!All around the animal world, there are sounds that we can hardly pick up and understand. Elephants, for example, talk with each other using infrasound—too low for humans to hear. Bats communicate with ultrasound—too high for humans to hear. However, by putting field recorders in trees, on mountaintops, and even on the backs of whales and birds, scientists can collect their sounds.After the sounds are recorded, AI can study their meanings. For example, a team of Israeli scientists used AI to get the meanings of bats’ 15,000 calls. They found that more than 60% of them were fights and disagreements about four things: food, sleep positions, personal space, and unwanted advances. This is surprising as bats are thought to be quiet animals!The new technology can not only understand animal talks, but also communicate back to them. For example, scientists in Germany studied how bees used sounds and dances to speak. Then they put the bee language system into a robot bee, and hid it in a bee hive where bees live. The robot gave orders to the other bees, like “quiet down” or “stop”, and they would follow.Why is it important to understand animals’ words? It is the first step to give other kinds of creatures on Earth a chance to express themselves. The natural world is full of conversations. But we are only able to understand one of them. By using AI, we are better able to listen to them, especially those in faraway places like deep seas and mountain tops.Though AI has proved itself to be useful, we have to think about the problems it may bring. What problems would there be if one day we could use animal robots to “talk” to real animals? Will humans use the technology to control or hurt the animals? What can we do to stop these? We’d better think about these problems before we act.37．How can AI and machine learning help people understand animals?a. By teaching human language to animals.b. By picking up sounds humans cannot hear.c. By working out the meaning of animals’ sounds.d. By teaching animals to understand robots’ words.e. By learning animal languages to talk with them.A．a, b, c B．a, c, d C．b, c, e D．c, d, e38．What does the underlined word “This” refer to in paragraph 3?A．The group of Israeli scientists.B．The study on bats’ disagreements.C．The number of bats’ calls.D．The finding on bats’ calls.39．Why is it meaningful to understand animals’ languages?A．It makes it possible for animals to be heard.B．It proves human’s ability to understand and control animals.C．It helps discover more animals in the faraway places.D．It allows humans to listen to animals more clearly.40．What does the writer think of the technology?A．He is surprised at it.B．He is afraid of it.C．He is careful about it.D．He is satisfied with it.A smile shows that a person is happy. For example, a person may smile when he or she is satisfied with a grade on a test. Or a person might smile if a friend tells a funny joke. People smile for many different reasons. But smiles are more than just a way for people to show their happinessand joy. 41First, it is easier to smile than to show unhappiness. In fact, it only takes 17 muscles (肌肉) to smile. On the other hand, it takes 43 muscles to show unhappiness. 42Second, smiles show you are kind and polite. People may try to look nice on the outside by exercising or wearing nice and proper clothes. 43 That is because it is easy to be around someone who is smiling and happy.Third, smiles have power. 44 If one person smiles, people around him or her want to smile, too. Similarly, when a person laughs, people will be likely to laugh with him or her. If a person is sad, the best thing to do is to share a smile or laugh. It is the easiest and cheapest way to cheer someone up.Finally, smiling and laughing are very good for the body. 45 You’ll find that it will be hard to stay mad or sad for very long.A．Even if you are mad or sad, try smiling.B．There are other good reasons for smiling often.C．So give the muscles in your face a rest and smile!D．Both smiling and laughing can easily pass from one person to another.E．However, as the saying goes, “a smile is the best thing a person can wear.”三、短文填空根据短文的内容及首字母提示写出文中所缺单词。

No one is quite sure exactly who first thought it up, and the most widely-accepted story is that it emerged from the dorms of Nanjing University in 1993 when four single male students got together to discuss how to break free of the loneliness of single life. One suggested that because of the ones in the date, November 11would be a good day to organize activities for singles. Singles' Day, started by a small group of friends, gradually grew into something like the anti-Valentine's Day, a day China's single young people could use as an excuse to get together and have fun together.Originally about being with friends and having fun, now Singles Day is about shopping-mostly online shopping. How did this happen? It's a long story, but the short answer is Alibaba.By the late 2000s, most of China's Internet users were familiar with Singles' Day. There might have been some small shops online and off line offering sales on that day earlier, but no major company until Alibaba launched its first Singles' Day online sale in 2009.In that first year, Alibaba was the only major ecommerce company to offer a sale, and it featured just 27 brands offering discounts via its T-mall marketplace. The sale was definitely successful, but it wasn't enough to redefine the holiday on its own. In the following year,Alibaba went bigger, offering more brands and deeper discounts. But other companies had noticed the potential of the 2009 sales bonanza and decided to follow suit. E-commerce platforms like JD had their first major Singles' Day sales in 2010, and overnight Singles' Day went from a T-mall sale to something that was beginning to look like Cyber Monday in some western countries.Over the next few years, Alibaba. JD, and other Chinese e-commerce players all expanded their one-day discounts, and sales grew exponentially （以指数方式）. On Singles Day in 2012, Alibaba's marketplaces, Taobao and T-mall, did about $3 billion in sales. In 2013that number nearly doubled, and Chinese shoppers had obliterated America's Cyber Monday spending records in just the first few hours of the sale. And it's only getting bigger.3 A.B.C.D.We can know that Singles' Day was fit set .by a large e-commerce company called Alibabafor the young people who want to have fun togetherto organize activities for singles to get rid of their lonelinessto express something against Valentine’s Day（1）Before 2009 on Singles' Day, single young people were most likely to .（2）三、阅读A.B.C.D.just spend the day alonehave fun with friendsdo some online shoppinggo back home to visit parentsA.B.C.D.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?By 2009, Singles' Day have already became a famous online-shopping day.Cyber Monday in some western countries is to celebrate Singles' Day.In 2013, Alibaba's marketplaces did about nearly $4 billion in sale.Alibaba was the first major e-commerce company to offer a sale on Singles' Day.（3）A.B.C.D.According to the last two paragraphs, we can know that .Alibaba played an important part in the new definition of Singles' Day.other Chinese e-commerce company like JD followed Cyber Monday.Alibaba offered more brands and deeper discounts to make it bigger.Alibaba, Taobao, T-mall and JD are different e-commerce companies.（4）A.B.C.D.What is the passage mainly about?The origin of Singles' Day.The life of modern young single people.The e-commerce company Alibaba.How Singles' Day become a shopping day.（5）BDear Lan Lan,I'm now writing to you at Hartsop, a village in the Lake District, a place to have most beautiful scenery in English couple here to spend Christmas with them. This was planned for overseas students to know British way of life. by living with British families.We came two days before Christmas and during our stay, we have had everything we expected. Christmas turkey, Christmas cake, Christmas puddings, Christmas parties and Christmas gifts under the Christmas tree. All are exciting and amusing, but above all these, we are deeply touched by the hospitality of the family, Roger and Anne Marie.Anne Marie was a nurse and all these days, she had been busy cooking meals, washing dishes and showing us around. Roger, who was a doctor, knows a lot about China and still wants to know more. He plays us Chinese music and it seems to me he does better in that than we do. In the evenings, we all sit around the fireplace with Tim, a lovely dog, by our side.Like long-time-no-see friends, we talk about all the things that have happened or we hope to happen in our lives. There is always so much to tell and to know .4After three months away from home, we are again feeling how sweet a home can be.Roger and Anne Marrie are not like most of the other people we have met who always make us feel we are foreigners in a foreign country. They show such kindness to us that they bring us a person-to-person feeling. instead of a British-to-Chinese feeling. They make us believe that though there are differences of languages and cultures, one may always expect to find in every corner of the world the feeling of love and being loved.How I wish Mum and Dad could meet them! How I wish you were here with me! How strange it is that the more I feel at home here, the more I miss my real home and all of you. We always talk about "when we go back home next year..." and soon we will turn this into "When we go back home THIS year..." for the New Year's Day is coming.

Thousands of residents fled to safety as heavy rains and strong winds caused Hooding, collapsed trees and cut off power. It was the strongest storm to hit the island nation in four years.At least seven people died in the storm, and at least six others were injured by falling trees, broken rooftops and glass, officials said More than 4,150 residents were forced lo take shelter in schools, town halls, churches and relatives' homes.A typhoon is a tropical cyclone, or hurricane, that occurs in the western Pacific or Indian Oceans. The storm is named a "super typhoon" when winds exceed 150 mph. Megi crashed ashore in the Isabela province of the northern Philippines with whipping winds that reached 162 mph. The storm created big waves in Palanan Bay. All ships and fishing boats were advised to stay in ports. Several airline flights were canceled.Luckily, the winds blew high from the ground, sparing many rice fields from damage, says Alvaro Antonio, the governor of Cagayan province. The region also took a hard hit from the storm.Thousands of military reserve officers and volunteers stood by to help with relief efforts.Evacuations and emergency preparations for the storm were made days in advance. Retired army Major General Benito Ramos heads the Philippines' disaster-preparedness agency. He said readying for the typhoon was like "preparing for war."Notes ：①tropical cyclone 热带气旋 ②evacuation n.疏散 ③collapsed adj.倒塌的5 A.B.C.D.How many people were homeless in this natural disaster?At least six.At least seven.About 13.More than 4,150.（1）A.B.C.D.

But a new study suggests they used a little rock 'n' roll. Long-ago builders could have attached wooden poles to the stones and rolled them across the sand, the scientists say."Technically, I think what they're proposing is possible." physicist Daniel Bonn said.People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks. And there's no obvious answer. On average, each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away.The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds （滑板）, Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand.Evidence from the sand supports this idea. Researchers found small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.However, physicist Joseph West thinks there might have been a simpler way, who led the new study. West said, "I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction" , I thought, 'Why don't they just try rolling the things?' "A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides, he realized. That, he notes, should make a block of stone" a lot easier to roll than a square”.So he tried it .6He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block.That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel. Then they- placed the block on the ground,They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled. The researchers found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of paths. They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery （滑的） path.West hasn't tested his idea on larger blocks，but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding.

I have volunteered in different projects and done different types of work.However，no matter what work I was given，I loved it the same and I often encourage others to give it a go. Here are the main reasons why I think voluntary work is worth doing.① It's a chance to get experience and skills.When volunteering，you are doing a job，even though you're not being paid. So you can get valuable experience and skills which are likely to be useful in the future. For example，some voluntary work can develop your soft skills such as how to work in a team.② You can meet new people.One of the best things about volunteering is meeting the other volunteers!They are likely to be very interesting and inspiring people like you，so you may make good friends in this way.③▲Many people who do voluntary work say that it has helped them to feel more confident in all kinds of ways. For example，I have always been quite a shy person，but my volunteering experience has helped me to build confidence. Now I feel more comfortable talking to strangers，and even in front of a crowd!④ You can have lots of fun!Doing an activity that you don't always do，with someone like you，will bring a lot of fun. If you volunteer in an Animal Rescue Centre，you can help take care of animals and play with them. In return，they will bring you a lot of happiness. You will also feel good，knowing that you are doing something for a good reason.Most importantly，as the saying goes "The roses in her hand，flavor in mine. " We can actually get a lot through helping others. Therefore，I suggest that you look for volunteering chances in your community or city. There are many different things that you can get started with. You can start with something small. Remember thatany type of volunteering is good and valuable.33．What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 2 "give it a go" mean?A．let it go B．have a tryC．do it yourself D．make up their minds34．Which of the following statement can be put in the blank ▲?A．You can talk to strangers.B．You can help other people.C．It's a way to become more confident.D．It's a way to improve your social skills.35．How does the writer explain Reason 3?A．By sharing a personal experience.B．By listing some numbers.C．By telling an interesting story.D．By comparing some facts.36．What is the writer's main opinion on voluntary work?A．You will be skillful in the team work.B．V oluntary work makes interesting and inspiring people.C．Helping others is helping yourself.D．Beginners should start working near home.阅读理解An endangered species is a group of animals that could soon die out. Many species could disappear very soon if we don't do anything to save them. There are many reasons why species become endangered but most of them are because of humans. However，there are things that we can do to save endangered species.Habitat （栖息地）destruction is the main reason why animals become endangered. When humans move into a new area，the animals' habitat is destroyed and there is nothing to eat because humans cut down trees and build houses and farms.Endangered species are also the result of overhunting and overfishing. Some seal species are endangered because they are killed for their fur to make coats. Tigers are shot to make medicine and crocodiles are caught to make bags and shoes. Other animals are killed for their fur，bones or skin，or just for sports.

Reading comprehension (44points)AAs one comes to some crossroads, he or she sees a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead. At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road; and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road.Mr. Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroad. It had a “SLOW” sign. He slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely.At once he heard a police whistle, so he pulled into the side of the road and stopped. A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and a pen in his hand and said, “You didn’t stop at that crossing.”“But the sign there doesn't say ‘STOP’.” answered Mr. Williams, “It just says ‘SLOW’, and I did go slow.”The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face. Then he put his notebook an d pen away, scratched his head and said, “Well, I’m in the wrong street!”29.

广州市中大附中八年级英语下册期末阅读理解汇编一、八年级英语下册阅读理解专项训练1．阅读理解North American black bears are shy animals. They are fearful by nature, and will usually run away if they see or hear people. Because of this, it can be difficult for scientists to learn about these animals.In order to study black bears, researchers from New Jersey, the US, catch bears and use drugs to help them go to sleep. Researchers then work out the size and the weight of the bears, take blood, to test for diseases, remove a tooth and take it to the lab to find out its age. From these studies, researchers want to find out how many bears live in New Jersey, how long they live, and how many babies they produce.But in Minnesota, the US, researchers study bears that are completely awake. The bears know the researchers' voices and they are not afraid of the research team. With the help of a few grapes to keep the bears busy, researchers can touch them to check their hearts, look at their teeth, and do other jobs. Researchers can also walk or sit with bears for hours and make videos to learn about their everyday lives."In both places, the main purpose is the same—to make sure there is a healthy population of black bears. But the research methods and the kinds of information that researchers are able to collect are quite different.（1）In the first paragraph, we can learn that North American black bears are __________.A. shy and fearful animalsB. not found todayC. well known to scientistsD. not afraid of people（2）The word "remove" in the second paragraph probably means in Chinese.A. 拔下B. 移植C. 清洗D. 修补（3）Which of the following may NOT be included in the New Jersey studies on black bears?A. The age.B. The way of their communication.C. The weight.D. The number of babies they produce.（4）In the Minnesota studies, researchers ________.A. can never get close to the bearsB. study the bears while they are asleepC. use grapes to make the bears fullD. learn a lot about the bears' everyday lives2．阅读下面的材料，然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。

Thousands of residents fled to safety as heavy rains and strong winds caused flooding, collapsed trees and cut off power. It was the strongest storm to hit the island nation in four years.At least seven people died in the storm, and at least six others were injured by falling trees, broken rooftops and glass, officials said. More than 4，150 residents were forced to take shelter in schools, town halls, churches and relatives' homes.A typhoon is a tropical cyclone, or hurricane, that occurs in the western Pacific or Indian Oceans. The storm is named a “super typhoon” when winds exceed 150 mph. Megi crashed ashore in the Isabela province of the northern Philippines with whipping winds that reached 162 mph. The storm created big waves in Palanan Bay. All ships and fishing boats were advised to stay in ports. Several airline flights were canceled.Luckily, the winds blew high from the ground, sparing many rice fields from damage, says Alvaro Antonio, the governor of Cagayan province. The region also took a hard hit from the storm.Thousands of military reserve officers and volunteers stood by to help with relief efforts. Evacuations and emergency preparations for the storm were made days in advance. Retired army Major General Benito Ramos heads the Philippines' disaster- preparedness agency. He said readying for the typhoon was like “preparing for war.”Notes: ①tropical cyclone 热带气旋②evacuation n. 疏散③collapsed adj. 倒塌的36.How many people were homeless in this natural disaster?A．At least six.

While working in space, spacemen are facing danger.Scientists have found out that radiation（辐射） is the greatest danger to spacemen in space.

Some special medicine may work a little, but there's no really helpful medicine.Space junk is also thought a great danger to spacemen. It's reported that there are 9,000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are man-made satellites（卫星）,10% are spaceships, and the rest are space junk. An explosion（爆炸） in 1996 made a cloud of 300,000 fragments（碎片）, each at least 4 mm in size, and even a small piece of these knocked against a spaceship window and did some damage. Scientists are working on helpful ways to do with space junk.Although space is really dangerous, it interests everyone on the earth. In the near future, it may become usual for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space for a few years.

The king was surprised, and he agreed to the man's idea. He asked his men to make a pair of leather shoes for him.Maybe this is not the beginning of leather shoes.
