Why do plants grow in some places and not in others? Why does some land have so much growing on it, while other land has almost no plants growing on it at all?

To grow, plants need several things. One is warmth. In very cold places almost nothing grows. Plants also need water. In very dry parts of the Earth only a few unusual plants can grow. That's why dry deserts everywhere are almost not covered by trees or grass.

Plants must also have a place in which to put down their roots and grow. They find it difficult to grow on hard land. The town is built on hard land. The plants here have only the soil found between the cracks of the stones to grow in.

Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food. What will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy beach? A few plants, such as beach grass, will grow in sand, but most plants won't. Even if the weather is warm enough and we water the plants each day, many of them will die because the sand on this beach has almost no food for plants.

A. two

A. there isn't enough sunlight

B. there is too much water

C. it is too crowded there

D. it has little food for plants

( )10. The passage can most probably be found in a ______book.

A. science

D. math

Lion is a special animal to Chinese people. A couple of stone lions, a male (雄性) and a female (雌性), can often be seen in front of the gates（门口）of old buildings. The male lion is on the left with his right paw (手掌) on a ball, and the female on the right. And her left paw is touching a baby animal.

The lion is the king in the animal world because he is powerful. The ball shows the country or the family will be together forever, and the baby animal with the female shows that you will have many children.

The stone lions were also used to show the families were powerful. If you had no money or power, you couldn’t put the stone lions in front of your houses.

任务型阅读专题江苏省海安县西片11校联考2020-2021学年度第一学期八年级期中考试英语试卷十、阅读与回答问题（本题共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） It seems that everybody tells lies —well, not big lies, but what we call “white lies”. Telling “white lies” isn’t really that bad. Most of the time, people do it because they w ant to protect a friendship. A survey (调查) shows that each person lies about seven times a day. The only real questions are about when we lie and who we tell lies to. Here are some reasons why people tell “white lies”. ◆Lying to hide something: People often lie because they want to hide something from someone. For example, Paul doesn’t tell his parents that he is going to play basketball because he doesn’t think they will agree. He tells a lie that he’s going to the library to study. ◆Lying to make someone feel good: Often we don’t tell the truth to make someone feel good. For example, your friend cooks dinner for you, but it doesn’t taste good. Do you say so? No! You probably say, “Mmm, this is delicious!” ◆Giving false (错误) excuses: Sometimes people lie be cause they don’t want to do something. For example, someone invites you to a party. You think it well be boring, so you say you’re busy. ◆Lying to hide bad news: Sometimes we don’t want to tell someone bad news. For example, you have just had a very bad da y at work, but you don’t want to talk about it. So if someone asks you about your day, you just say everything was fine. 106. How many reasons for telling “white lies” are mentioned (被提及) in the passage? ____________________________________________________________________________ 107. Why do people tell “white lies” most of the time? ____________________________________________________________________________ 108.What will you say to make your friend feel good though the dish he makes doesn’t taste good? ____________________________________________________________________________ 109. How often does each person lie according to (根据) a survey? ____________________________________________________________________________ 110. Do you like telling “white lies”? Why or why not? (请自拟一句话作答) ____________________________________________________________________________ 十、阅读与回答问题 106. Four. 107. Because they want to protect a friendship. / To protect a friendship. 108. I will say, “Mmm, this is delicious!” / Mmm, this is delicious! 109. About seven times a day. 110. 与短文话题一致、言之有理即可。江苏省南通第一中学2020-2021学年第一学期八年级英语期中考试试题 C 最合适的选项与左栏相搭配，并将答案的字母编号填写在题前的括号内。

八年级英语阅读竞赛试卷 Name:__________ Class:___________ A Sociologists(社会学家), working in western countries, have found that a large number of women wished they had been born men. The number is said to be as high as 60% in Germany. “Women often wish they had the same chances as men have, and think it is still men’s world.” Said Dr. James Helen, one of the sociologists who did the study. Many men say that they have more duties than women. A man has to make money to support(养活) his family and to make the important decision, so it is right for men to be paid more. Some are even against their wives working at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the home and children cannot be taken good care of. If women take full-time jobs, they won’t be able to do what they are best at doing: making a nice home and bringing up the children. Some women disagree. They say they want to get out of their homes and to have freedom to choose between work and home life. Women have the right of equal pay and equal chances. Anne Harper has a very good job. She also believes in “Women’s Liberation”. “I don’t wish I were a man,” she says, “and I don’t think many women do. But I do wish people would stop treating us like second-class people. At work, for example, we usually do the work that men do but get paid less. There are still a lot of jobs only to men usually they are the best ones. If you are a man, you have a much better chance of living a wonderful life. How many women scientists are there…or engineers?” 1.Many men think_______. A. women can’t do what men can. B. men have to work much harder than women C. men can make money more easily than women. D. women’s duty is mainly to do housework at home. 2.Some women have different ideas. They say that____________. A. women need chances to go out of the home more often. B. women want more freedom in deciding the kind of life they want. C. if women are given equal pay, they can do everything instead of men. D. women are no longer interested in taking care of their homes. 3. Anne Harper thought that women should _________. A. live a better life than men B. be really liberated C. be given better jobs than men D. live a more wonderful life than men 4. Anne Harper didn’t wish to be a man __________. A. because she believed in “Women’s Liberation” B. but she wished to get the same job as men C. because she had got a good job D. but she wished to be treated the same as a man 5. Which of the following is not true according to the passage? A. There are more men scientists, engineers than women ones. B. Women are second-class people, so they shouldn’t live a better life. C. Women do the same jobs as men, but get paid less than men.
