I learned to wear reins(疆绳)and a bit in my mouse. I did not like them, but all the horses had to wear them.My master had two horses. One of them was Merrylegs. He was very friendly.

Written by US writer Cormac McCarthy. The book came out in 2006 and won the Pulitzer Prize (普利策奖) in 2007. In the book, McCarthy shows man’s true nature, which I think is the high point of the book.The main character (人物) is a great father —he has a strong will to live and keep his child safe. During their journey, he is really tired, but he tries to find food anywhere he can.Finally, he finds a place to hide in with lots of food inside. There is enough for them to eat for days. He is a selfless (无私的) father, always making sure his child has something to eat.But sometimes, the man becomes emotional (情绪化的) and starts to think deeply about his past. His memories of the past do nothing but let him down when he wakes up and sees the real world around him.In a word, this novel is a great read. The man is not a perfect hero, but all of us can see a little of ourselves in him. Love always wins, in stories or real life. This book makes us learn to love others and一、完形填空1. C2. B3. B4. A5. D6.

The kid’s mother got angry about the young man’s attitude (态度) and they started to quarrel(吵架) with each other.This happened two years ago and has caused a huge argument on the Internet. Some people think the behavior of the kid, a Chinese tourist, was bad because eating is not allowed on the Hong Kong subway.

Pieces of paper on my desk flew high into the air and some flew out of the open window. As I ran out to catch them, big drops of rain began to fall.When I came back into the house, it was raining harder and harder. I tried very hard to close the window.

Then we waited for the ants to arrive.After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels (地道). I was amazed that each one knew well what to do. Each had its own job.On the fifth day something terrible happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over．All the tunnels fell down. Although (虽然) the ants kept alive after their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was frightened as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm.My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness．They simply could not stand (忍受) that their tunnels were gone．Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired (钦佩) for their hard work.But there was an even larger 1esson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life., and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad.We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another.Giving up is not a good choice.50.Which of the following is WRONG according to (根据) the passage?A. Giving up isn't a good way when we meet trouble.B. Like people，teamwork is very important for the ants.C. The ants didn't die one by one after the tunnels were destroyed.D.

Working alone is amazing.DStudying abroad can be a difficult experience, so you had better remember the following things.You can not completely(完全)enter another country if not leaving your home behind. When you are abroad, do not always speak on your mobile phone to people at home or spend too much time on the Internet.If you want to learn the language, you have to practise it. Because practice makes perfect.If you have made a choice to study in a foreign country, forget your pride(骄傲)and don't be afraid to make mistakes. It is natural for anyone to make mistakes when learning a new language.This is how we learn.Be 10 times more polite than usual. People are more likely to be helpful and patient if you are nice and polite. If you are staying with a family, make sure to clean the room and make your bed, and always be polite when talking to them.Try to get into the local society. School is important, but the cultural experience is also very important. We all like to get good grades and do well in school, but we can not fully understand the culture only in the classroom.Do not waste your time. Everyone has bad days when they miss home. These days will pass. Remember that you are one of the few lucky people. Go and learn about the world and, most importantly, have fun.52.

However, there are a lot of things happening to tiny little frog eggs. Eggs can be eaten, broken, or washed away. Only about half of the eggs can come out. Sometimes, the mother may stay with the eggs to take care of them. Sometimes, the mother may leave and not come back to the eggs. A baby frog stays in the egg for 6 to 21 days before it comes out.When the baby frogs leave their eggs, they are called tadpoles. The tadpoles are green or brown. This helps them hide in the algae (水藻). Many fish will eat the tadpoles. They will start swimming around more and eating the algae after about a week. The tadpoles will stay together and swim.After the baby frog has been a tadpole for about a month, it starts to change again. The tadpole starts growing the lung (肺). The little tadpole also starts to grow back legs. As it grows more, the tadpole can eat bugs and some plants. The tadpole is stronger and doesn’t hide as much.When it is six to nine weeks old, the little tadpole grows front legs. Its lung begins working. The tadpole’s mouth gets bigger and it looks more like a frog. By the time it is twelve weeks old, the little frog will just have a tiny tail and will begin living on land.( )36.

The sound a blue whale makes can travel thousands of miles in deep waters. So the whales may be able to communicate with each other across oceans.However, blue whales face a serious problem. In 1931 alone, almost 30,000 blue whales were killed. By 1966 there had been so few blue whales that the international Whaling Commission (国际捕鲸委员会) called for the whale protection.

It is very useful because it can help you make yourself easily understood. When you are talking with others, you are not only using words, but also using expressions and gestures. For example, waving one’s hand is to say “Good-bye”. A smile and a handshake show welcome, and clapping hands means congratulations. Nodding the head means agreement, but shaking the head means disagreement.Different countries have different body language. For example, men in Russia, France and Arab countries kiss each other when they meet, but men in China or Australia shake hands instead of kissing. People in Puerto Rico like touching each other, but people from English speaking countries do not touch each other. If you touch an English person, you should say “sorry”. People in Arab countries like standing close to each other when they are talking, but English people must keep a distance away when they are talking. In some Asian countries, you mustn’t touch the head of another person. In Arab countries, people eat using the right hand. The left hand is not used at all. In parts of Asia you mustn’t sit with your feet pointing at another person.When you use a foreign language, it is very important to know the meanings of gestures and movements in the foreign country. Following the customs will help you communicate with people and make your stay there much more pleasant and comfortable.( )41.

She clearly doesn’t like cats. In 2010 she was caught on CCTV t 2 one cat into a dustbin. The video shows Mary walking down a quiet street. All of a sudden, she notices Lola the cat jump onto a fence. Mary stops to pick up Lola and drops her into a large dustbin. Lola was s 3 fifteen hours later.

阅读理解（说明文）001How to greet British people 如何跟英国人打招呼Meeting someone for the first time can be embarrassing(使人尴尬的）if you get it wrong. Suppose you're going to meet a person from the UK. Do you know what you should say and do?A handshake is the most common way to greet someone, especially if you are in a formal situation. Your handshake should be confident, but that doesn't mean you need to crush(挤压）anybody's fingers. On the other hand, don't be too weak. It's always a good idea to smile and make eye contact with the person you are shaking hands with. Lastly, remember that two shakes are enough. Take hold of the hand and shake it up and down twice. Don't hold on for too long.Hugging and kissing are more informal greetings in the UK. They are usually for friends, family and small children. Phrases such as “How are you doing?” and “How are you?” have become more popular. These phrases, however, can cause some confusion. When a Briton says “How are you?” to you, he or she probably doesn't expect you to really answer the question. You may just respond with a “How are you? ” to him or her.Greeting phrases may differ from one place to another. You might hear a “Now then?” or “Eat up? ” when you meet someone from the north of the UK. How should you respond then? Just smile and say “ Hi! ”or “How are you? ”.体裁说明文难度★★词数245( )1.

Indonesia's answer is: to get a new one.The country's president, Joko Widodo, made the decision in a speech to Parliament (议会) last year. The country has decided to move its seat of government out of Jakarta. He said, "A capital city is not just a symbol of national identity, but also a representation of the progress of the nation. "The new capital will be moved to Kalimantan. It is known for rainforests and coal mines. President Widodo toured the area in May, 2018 to visit potential sites. The exact location is till unknown, fearing the news would push up land prices.Indonesia has the fourth largest population in the world. Jakarta is home to more than ten million people To make matters worse, around three times as many people live around towns. The large population has used so much groundwater that it has affected the ground levels. That makes Jakarta the fastest-sinking city in the world. Almost half of its area is already below sea level. At the current speed, about 95 percent of north Jakarta will be underwater by 2050.The decision was met with doubt, however. People questioned whether such a move should be a matter of great urgency for Indonesia. There was also the question of cost.

His new book The Wizenard Series: Traiming Camp came out in March, 2019.The story is about the West Bottom Badgers, a youth basketball team. The story2is broken up into five books, with each focusing on the story of one character: Rain, Twig, Cash, Peno, and Lab. All of young kids on this team come from a poor neighborhood. No one has faith in the kids to succeed. But things change after a new coach joins the team.After reading the book, we got to interview Bryant. He said he didn't think he was going to be a writer, but that he often tells stories to his daughters. This is one of the reasons he wrote his own book. The book is based on parts of Bryant's real-life experience, especally when he played for the Los Angeles Lakers.During Bryant's career, NBA players like Bill Rusell and MichaelJordan inspired him. Bryant oncesaid he would like to play a game with Jordan.Bryant had two different jersey numbers-8 and24-during his career. The number 24 means you need to work hard 24 hours a day to succeed.Besides basketball, what is Bryant's second-favorite sport? It is soccer. Bryant said it's because it's a sport that we can all play in our spare time. He said his favorite soccer team is Barcelona because the players use a strong team way and move the ball well around the field.

Bryant's daughters hate reading booksB. Bryant thinks of Jordan as his heroC. Bryant's book came out in 2018D. Bryant works 24 hours a day阅读理解DYou might ask, "Where will the universe go? Will t ever come to an end?"Scientists have been thinking about these questions. However, it's hard to know what will happen. After all, the universe is so big. Still, scientists have made some guesses about the fate of the universe. As US poet Robert Frost once wrote, "Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice. "In the 1800s, the study of heat showed that the universe might someday experience "heat death". Our universe "runs" properly because of temperature differences. It's kind of like how a car engine is able to run because it's hotter inside the engine than outside the engine. But if temperatures become the same everywhere in the universe, certain energy processes will stop working and the universe will die. Will he universe continue to expand? And what will happen next? Here are some related theories.The Big Rip (大撕裂) We know that our universe is expanding. Dark energy causes it to expand faster and faster. This theory suggests that this expansion will continue forever. Finally, the expansion's speed will become so great that everything in the universe will be ripped apart.The Big Freeze (大冻结) As the universe expands, galaxies, stars and planets will pull away from each other. Light from stars will no longer reach the Earth. This will make the universe colder. Finally, the temperature of the universe will reach absolute zero. All movement stops at this temperature.The Big Crunch (大崩坠) This theory is different from the other two. Instead of expanding forever, it suggests that the mass of the universe will reverse the expansion. Then, like a star that grows too large, the universe will collapse in on itself, maybe creating a new condition.1. The US poet Robert Frost's words mean ______ .A. it's interesting to predict the futureB. it's hard to predict the futureC. the future will end in fireD. the future will end in ice2. From Paragraph 3, we know ______ .A. the Earth might become hotter and hotterB. the Earth's energy processes are different from the car'sC. the universe will be sure to expand in the futureD. the universe"runs"properly because it has the same temperature3. When we say the universe will continue to expand forever. Everything in the universe will be ripped apart, the theory is called ______ .A. the Big RipB. the Big FreezeC. the Big CrunchD. the Big Bang4. The meaning of the underlined word "collapse" is similar to " ______ ".A. speed upB. fly upC. set downD. fall down5. Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage?A. The theory of the Big Crunch is offered by scientists from the US.B. Humans didn't start to study the universe until the 1800s.C. Light from stars won't get to the Earth when the universe expands.D. When the universe gets hot, it will become very active.完形填空Dear Jason,I’m so happy to receive this letter from you, my new penfriend. I like your ___1___ , Canada.

牛津版八年级下学期英语阅读理解专项训练Ⅱ（I）卷姓名:________ 班级:________ 成绩:________一、牛津版2017-2018学年八年级下学期英语阅读理解专项训练 (共4题；共16分)1. （4分）阅读理解Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don't agree with them.Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources(资源), we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal(煤) or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.（1）From the passage we know that some students often ________ in the school.A . eat too muchB . don't work hardC . waste thingsD . throw rubbish everywhere（2）Which is not mentioned in this passage?A .

For example, she was interested in all kinds of sports, but she is not good at any of them. So she never knew how to answer questions like these.Mrs. Jones, her teacher, walked quietly through the room when the students worked on the project(课题). She stopped at Judy's desk to ask her if she needed some help.Judy looked up and said, "I am interested in so many things. I just don't know how to choose."Mrs. Jones smiled.

It's true that we should thank our mothers, without mothers, nobody could come to the world. I always believe the rule, so it's hard for me to feel father's love. I didn't realize how great my father was until last month.On a rainy day last month, I was sleeping in my bedroom when my father came in to wake me up. I was sleepy and upset, so I began to shout at him. He wasn't angry at all. Instead he said in a low voice to me, "Dear, it's time for lunch. I have already got everything ready for you. "I looked at the watch. My god, it was nearly twelve o' clock at noon. It was Sunday that day. That was why I got up so late.I went downstairs slowly and lazily. When I got into the dining room, I saw a table of tasty food.I felt surprised because all the food was cooked by my father himself. He had never done any housework before, because he was always very busy. I was still puzzled (困惑) why Dad cooked so much food for us two that day . Suddenly, I heard the voice of happy birthday. I was so excited that I cried, for I knew it was the first time I had felt father's love since my mom was not with us anymore.（1）The writer's father didn't love him in the past.（2）When the writer's father woke him up, he was very angry.（3）It was the first time for the writer's father to cook for him.（4）There are three people in the writer's family now.（5）We can learn from the passage that father's love is also great.4. （4分）阅读理解Dear Susan,We went to Tailand for vacation last year.
