passage?A.How to watch birds.B.How to indentify birds.C.How to use a field guide.D.How to use binoculars.BEquipped only with a pair of binoculars (双筒望远镜)and ready to spend long hours waiting in all weathers for a precious glance of a rare bullfinch (红腹灰雀),Britain's birdwatchers had long been supposed to be lovers of a minority sport.But new figures show birdwatching is fast becoming a popular pastime,with almost three million of us absorbed in our fluttering feathered friends.Devoted birdwatchers,those prepared to travel thousands of miles for a sighting of a rareSiberian bird,are fast being joined by a new breed of follower whose interest is satiated by watching a few finches (雀科鸣鸟)on a Sunday walk or putting up a bird﹣box in the back garden."Almost three million UK birdwatchers is certainly possible if you include everyone with only a casual interest,"Stephen Moss said in his newly published book﹣﹣A Bird in the Bush:a Social History of Bird watching﹣﹣which records the pursuit from the rich Victorian Englishman's love of shooting rare birds to the less offensive observational tendencies of birdwatchers today.Television wildlife programmes have helped to fuel the new trend.Last summer,BBC 2's Britain Goes Wild was a surprise success.It pulled in three million viewers and led to bird﹣houses selling out across the UK as 45,000 people promised to put up a box.Birdwatchers'networking system first came to the attention of the nation in l989,when a birdwatcher caught sight of the first Vermivora chrysoptera﹣a golden﹣winged songbird from North America﹣to be seen in Britain.He put a message out on the network service Birdline,and the next day 3,000 birdwatchers proved the full pull of a truly rare bird as they visited the Tesco car park in Kent,where it had settled.Today,birdwatchers can log on to www.birdline.co.uk or have news of the latest sightings texted to their phones."Multimillion﹣pound spending on binoculars,bird food and boxes point to the increasing numbers of birdwatchers,"said David Cromack,the editor of Bird Watching magazine."The number of people involved is so big that they have great potential to influence government decisions affecting the environment."6.The word"satiated"in paragraph 2 can best be replaced by"".A.affected B.shared C.satisfied D.narrowed 7.What happened after the message of seeing a Vermivora chrysoptera was put on the network?A.Birdwatchers helped the rare bird settle in Kent.B.Large numbers of birdwatchers went to view the bird.C.Many birdwatchers logged on to the website for details.D.Birdwatchers showed their determination to protect the rare bird.8.Which of the following CANNOT be true according to the passage?A.Television wildlife programmes started the popular pastime of birdwatching.B.The network service has contributed to the rapid development of birdwatching.C.Birdwatching in Britain was long considered a sport with a small group of followers.D.The current situation of birdwatching may promote the protection of the environment.9.The passage mainly tells us about in UK.A.the history of birdwatchingB.a growing passion for birdwatchingC.the impact of media on birdwatching【阅读表达】Would your pizza have a different taste if it is prepared by a robot(机器人)?This is a question people are asking as some Americans test food-preparation robots. A start-up company in the US, called Zume, is testing machines that make pizza. The pizza comes out the same each time. Zume says the robots work quickly and do not get sick. The robots do not get paid, either. Julia Collins is the company's CEO. Her company can spend money on better food because it does not have to pay the robots.The important question for the company's success(成功)is: How does the pizza taste? Charity Suzuki has bought the robot-made pizza. She likes its taste. "It's delicious. It's always hot and fresh when it comes. I think it's great that they are making it."The companies say they are developing robots so people can get better food faster. But what about the jobs the robots are taking from humans?Alex Garden is the chairman of Zume. He thinks there will be more interesting work for humans to do when the robots start doing some of the smaller jobs.1. How does the robot-made pizza taste?2. Why can Julia Collins's company spend money on better food?3. Will you order pizza from a robot someday soon? Why or why not?【书面表达】根据下面表格中的内容写一篇关于怎样保护濒危动物的英语作文.题目怎样保护濒危动物现状如今世界上有很多动物都面临灭绝的危险,我们是该做些事情来保护它们了建议1.我们需要制定一些法律来保护它们;2.我们应该建立更多的自然保护区,保护它们的栖息地3.我们必须把动物看作是我们的好朋友来保护它们和它们共享我们的世界【参考答案】【完型填空】1.B 考查动词辨析.A想知道;B发现;C希望;D同意;根据后面his neck was much shorter than the others'他的脖子比其它的短的多,应该是发现了,故答案是B.2.D 考查形容词辨析.A有力量的;B感兴趣;C精力充沛的,充满活力的;D担心的;根据前面his neck was much shorter than the others'他的脖子比其它的短,应该是非常担心,故答案是D.3.C 考查名词辨析.A腿;B尾巴;C脖子;D鼻子;根据上文面his neck was much shorter than the others'他的脖子比其它的短,这里应该是试着不去担心他的脖子,故答案是C.4.A 考查动词辨析.A保持;B变成;C转,变;D感觉;根据But as his friends grew taller and taller,his neck(4)short但随着他的朋友们越来越高,他的脖子,应该仍然短,继续处于某种状态用stay,故答案是A.5.C 考查短语辨析.A照顾;B落后;C嘲笑;D听说;根据他的脖子比其它的知,这里Sometimes the other giraffes 应该是嘲笑他,故答案是C.6.B 考查形容词辨析.A高的;B短的;C胖的;D瘦的;根据上文描述,这里He was just too应该是太矮了,故答案是B.7.C 考查介词辨析.A在…之后;B除非;C因为;D在…之前;根据Would he have to leave the zoo just(7)he didn't have a long neck?他必须离开动物园吗?(7)他没有长脖子吗?因果关系,故答案是C.8.D 考查名词辨析.A笼子;B洞;C窗户;D门;根据between the two areas.两片区域之前,应该是有个小门,故答案是D.9.B 考查代词辨析.A他;B你;C我们;D我;根据his mother said."The zoo has made a place just for(9)because so many people want to see how special you are!"

Alice is 15 and she is a guide who shows visitors around the Fort(城堡)Delaware Museum in New York. “This year, I spun wool(纺⽑线)on a spinning wheel. Last year, I was a candle maker. My first year, I cared for the garden and looked after the animals. All the jobs I’ve had at the fort have been really fun.”Fort Delaware is a living-history museum that shows how life was in frontier(边远地区)America in the mid-1700s. “Reading about history can’t compare to experiencing it for yourself,”says Alice.The experience begins as soon as visitors enter the fort. The smell of wood smoke fills the air. Women in petticoats(long skirts) and men in knee breeches(knee-length shorts) are busy with their chores. The guides show visitors how the settles(移民)would have carried out everyday work. “Kids are surprised when I tell them that one of their jobs would have been to make candles,” says another guide, 16-year-old Jane. “They don’t realize that kids back then had to work hard.” She also shows visitors how to play with toys and games.They are playing historical parts, so the guides can’t wear shorts or T-shirts when the weather is hot. But the clothes of the past can easily change modern kids into people from 18th century. “The clothing felt strange at first, but it does make it easier to get into characters,” says Jane.Working at the fort has helped Jane to appreciate her life even more. Alice agrees, “The fort has taught me how hard life was and how much work there was every day. We are so lucky with everything we have now. Life wasn’t always this easy.”1.

八年级英语完型填空与阅读理解专项训练(1)A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child, and some children—like boys and girls who live abroad with their parents—seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In school it is not easy to learn a second language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.Our mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photos not only of what we see but of what we feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photo with a camera, there is much to do before the photo is finished and ready to show to our friends. In the same way there is much work to be done before we can keep a picture forever in our mind. Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.()1.

As the earth turns around every twenty-four hours, first one half 9 the sun and then the other half. When our half of the earth is facing the sun, we say it is "day".

In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table during a meal. But in Arab countries you must be very careful with your hands. You mustn’t eat with your left hand. Arabs consider it very bad manners eating with left hands. So, what should you do if you are on a visit in another country? Well, just do in Rome as the Romans do.

They think: pop stars earn a lot of money; they lead interesting and exciting lives; thousands of fans love them; they become famous!Yes, but first they must become stars. Most performers start life with a group. This is the pattern nowadays. But there are many groups and the competition is hard. Groups appear and disappear almost overnight. Only a small number survive. Almost without exception(例外) they have to work very hard before they reach the top.And very few reach the top and stay there. In England there are perhaps thirty or so groups at the top. Most of these do not earn so much money: perhaps 500 pounds each time they perform. What's more, they have quite a lot of expenses(开销).They have to pay a manager, for example. He is the key person in their lives and he takes about 20 % of their earnings perhaps more. They also need to pay for their clothes, their instruments and their van(车).And don't forget, they have to travel a great deal, sometimes 2000 miles in one week. At times they even sleep in their van instead of a hotel, just to save money.So now, what do you think? Are pop-stars so rich? And do they have such exciting lives?1. Why do many young people want to become pop-stars?2. What do many pop-stars spend money on?3. Do you want to be a pop-star? Why or Why not?【书面表达】 校团委正举行“畅想未来”的征文活动,请根据提示,以“My ideal school life”为题写一篇短文。
