Despondently(沮丧地), the husband replied "I missed new job chance."When she was 35, the husband angrily told her that he had just missed the bus. At the age of 45, the husband sadly said "I missed the chance seeing my close relative before his last breath."At 55, the husband said disappointedly, "missed a good chance to retire(退休)."At 65, the husband hurriedly replied, " I missed visiting my dentist."At 75, the wife did not ask the husband any more; she was very sick. Remembering the question the wife used to ask him, this time the husband asked the wife the same question. The wife, with a smile and peaceful look, replied, "In this life, I did not miss having you! ""The husband was full of tear. He always thought that they could be together forever. He was always busy with work and other things. He had never thought of his wife. The husband gave a big hug to the wife and said, "Over 50 years, how I had allowed myself miss your deep love for me. "Life does not last forever, so always live in the now. Don't neglect(忽视)the loved ones who care for you. Express your gratitude(感激)to your loved ones in words. Show your love with actions. Treat every day as the last day of life.

Now I've finished a car repair course，I am able to fix the car by myself．”John and Jim are not unusual people．In order to save money，most families in thecountry are doing everything they can so that they can fight with the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it-yourselfer”，you can go to DIY classes．And for those who don’t have time to take a course，there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself．( )1．When the writer says that Jim has a full-time job at home，he means Jim________．A．makes shoes at his homeB．does his extra work at nightC. does his own car and home repairsD．keeps house and looks after his children( )2．Jim Hatfield decided to become a do-it-yourselfer when____________.A．his car repairs cost too muchB．the car repair class was not helpfulC. he could not possibly do two jobsD. he had to raise the children all by himself( )3．What would be the b est title for the text?A．The joy of DIY B．You can do it，too!C．Welcome to our DIY course!

People talk about it often, and friends tell other friends how good they look. Sound like a fashion? It's actually another trend（趋势）:"blog". What's a blog? A blog is a personal online diary. The word "blogger" means a person who writes diaries online.Many bloggers are teenagers who've been logging onto（进入）some sites to discuss everything in their lives. Many of today's teenagers are not afraid to openly discuss everything in their lives. Teens complain about parents and homework. They share diaries, post songs from the latest bands and show their pictures. They write their own poems, say something about their girlfriends or boyfriends and complain to each other or offer support. But mostly they just write down what they do every day.However, many parents are worried about these young bloggers. Parents see the kids talking about howthey got drunk last weekend and how they don't like studies. They are using language that is surprising to their parents. Besides hearing from their friends, teenage bloggers also get messages from strangers. Most of the time, it's older men that ask to meet teenage girls. "These strange men are dangerous for my kids. They sometimes teach my kids bad words," said Cara Cabral, a mother of two.Many teenagers and young adults know it's not safe to use blogs on the Internet. They know they are putting information about themselves in a place where they can be seen by anyone. But teenagers are unlikely to give up this new communication tool that has become a way of life for many of them.( )1.

Parents think it's dangerous for their kids to use blogs because_______.A. their kids use surprising languageB. their kids talk about how they don't like studiesC. teenage bloggers get messages from strangersD. their kids talk about their girlfriends or boyfriends【答案】BADCEWork is helpful to health．Scientists find that the hard﹣working people live longer than those who have no jobs．Studies show that the jobless are in poorer health than job﹣holders．Career（职业的）women are healthier than housewives．Why is work good for health？It is because work keeps people busy，away from loneliness．Researches show that people feel unhappy，worried and lonely when they have nothing to do．Instead，Instead，the happiest people are those who are busy．Many high achievers who love their careens feel they happiest when they are working hard．They work as a bridge between dream and reality，so they have energy every day．By work，people get to know each other．By taking part in all kinds of activities，they find friendship and warmth．This is helpful to health．The loss（丧失）of work means the loss of everything．It affects man's spirit and it will cause more illnesses．Besides，work gives one a sense of hope and a sense of achievement．Work makes one feel his value and status（形象）in society．When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow，they are happy beyond（超越）words．From the above，we can come 如o a conclusion；the more you work，the happier and healthier you will be．1．How will people feel when they have nothing to do from the passage？A．Relaxed and excited．B．Happy but bored．C．Worried and unhappy．D．Relaxed but unhealthy．2．Who are the real happiest people？A．Those who are rich．B．Those who are friendly．C．Those who are famous．D．Those who are busy．3．The underlined word"it"in the passage meansA．the loss of happiness．B．the loss of work．C．the loss of energy．D．the loss of health．4．What's the main idea of this passage？A．I you are happy，you will have more work to do．B．If you are healthy，you will have more work to do．C．The more you work，the happier you will be．D．The more work you do，the more money you will have．【答案】CDBCFDIY, which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in the UK.

Sometimes students have to stay at school foran extra hour. If a student behaves(表现) very badly, the headteacher can suspend(使暂停上课)the student. The student can't come to school for one, two, or three days. Mr Lazares didn't like to suspend students. When he suspended students，they were happy. "A three-day holiday!" they thought. One day，a boy named Robert was in Mr Lazares' office. The boy was not behaving well in class. Mr Lazares phoned the boy's parents.“If you come to school with your son，I won't suspend him，" he said. The boy's father came to school and went with his son to every class. Other students all looked at the boy and his father. The boy was embarrassed(尴尬的).After that he behaved better. He didn't want his father to come to school again. Other students behaved better，too. They thought，"I don't want my parents to come to school!"That year about 60 parents came to school with childrenrwho didn't behave well. The next year only a few parents had to come to school. The students were behaving better. ( )1. Teachers punish their students in these ways except .A. writing to the students' parentsB. calling the students' parentsC. telling the students to stay at school for an extra hourD. telling the students to stand up all day in the classroom( )2 .The students will be if they are suspend.A. sadB. sickC. happyD. embarrassed ( )3. came to school after Mr Lazares phoned Robert's parents.A.

Robert's mother( )4 .The students behaved after their parents did what Mr Lazares told them to do.A. badB. goodC. worseD. betterBMarch 21 is International Sleep Day. And we should all celebrate the act of sleeping. Researchers say sleep is probably the best tool we have for memory and learning. But what about getting rest during the middle of the day?A recent study on napping(⼩睡)says short periods of sleep may help our brains work better. Past studies have shown that napping can help babies and young children learn better. And napping can help brain performance in older adults. Taking a nap may also help this group of people fight off memory loss because of the increase in their age.Many Americans do nap. But one-third of all adults in the United States are also chronically(长期的)tired, says the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC). It found that 50 million to 70 million Americans have chronic sleep disorders. However, they seem to be unwilling to tell people that they take a nap. They may think that napping shows they are weak or they don't have enough energy. It is not an uncommon opinion that only children, the very old, sick or lazy people nap. In fact, Americans sometimes do a very strange thing. Some people brag about how few hours of sleep they need each night to show that they are somehow stronger than the average human. However, that may be changing. Many offices now offer napping rooms and napping cafes(咖啡馆)are appearing in many U.S. cities, including Washington, D.C. Remember that a one-hour-long nap may be too long for young, healthy adults. It is recommended that 30 minutes is enough to remove the pressure(压⼒)and will help people feel more awake. If people nap longer, they will get trapped into deep sleep. which can be hard to get out of. If you have trouble falling asleep at night, limit your daytime nap to under 45 minutes. Also nap before 3 p.m.( )5.Who are "this group of people" in Paragraph 2?A. The babies.B. The children.C. The older adults.D. The young people.( )6 .The underlined word brag in Paragraph 3 means .A. chat sadlyB. talk proudlyC. whisper secretlyD. speak politely( )7.What may Americans think of napping in the future?A. Healthy adults needn't take a nap.B. They won't tell others about their naps.C. It may be common for Americans to take a nap.D. Only the old, the sick and children need a nap.( )8 .For a young man with sleep problems, it is good to .A. take a 40-minute-long noon napB. take a nap whenever he feels sleepyC. take a one-hour-long nap after dinnerD. take a 30-minute-long nap in the evening三、阅读表达Susan was a shy but clever girl. She couldn't see too well and had worn glasses for as long as she could remember. And again, for as long as she could remember, some of her classmates always made fun of her big glasses, laugh at her and call her names (起外号).The worst thing was that Lewis started to call her “Four Eyes”. She acted like she didn't mind, but in fact, she couldn't stand it. She was sad.One day, the class went to visit some caves (⼭洞). The children were walking towards the caves, when Lewis put his foot in a hole and fell down into it. While falling, he knocked Susan down into the hole, too. It was dark. All that could be seen was only a single ray of light coming from the cave roof. Susan and Lewis shouted for help, but no one came. In the cold dark cave, they spent a long dark night.The next morning, they still hadn't been found. Suddenly, Susan had an idea. She took a piece of wood. Then she used her glasses as a magnifying glass (放⼤镜) and focused (使聚焦) the ray of light onto the dry wood until a little fire sprang up (突然出现). Now they had a torch (⽕炬). Lewis watched all this with excitement. They used the torch to find the way out.After getting out of the cave, Lewis lowered his head and said in a low voice, “thank you for saving me, and sorry for calling you 'Four Eyes' before”. Later, Lewis told everyone what had happen ed and called Susan “Laser Light(激光)Susan.” Guess what? Susan loved that name!1.

I knew my show was successful.Two weeks later, I got into the final. Looking at the crowded(拥挤的) school hall, I felt nervous. As I waited for my turn(顺序) to perform(表演), I told myself, “It should be fine, and it will just be like the last show.”Then I heard the host(主持人) calling my name and I went on the stage(舞台). I looked at the audience(观众). It was noisy and then became quiet. I started playing the guitar and singing.Suddenly, the guitar got broken. I stopped singing and didn’t know what to do. At that time, I heard one boy shouting, “You could do it!” And then everyone started shouting. I took a deep breath and sang again.Many people told me I did a great job after my performance. I was glad to hear that. Of course I didn’t win the final, but it was a great experience(经历) to me.56. What does the underlined word “successful” mean in English here?A. terribleB. badC. boringD. excellent57. Where did the final take place?A. In the school hall.B. At the cinema.C. In the library.D. On the playground.58. What happened when the writer was singing?A. All people left.B. The guitar was broken.C. A boy shouted suddenly.D. The stage became dark.59.

My show experienceBIn 1981, t he Chinese women’s volleyball team first stood on the top at the World Cup. And in 2019, it defended(保住) its World Cup crown with a record of 11 wins. The women’s volleyball team has been the pride of the Chinese people. To honor it, a film named Leap《夺冠》in English has been made.Based on the volleyball team’s stories, the film shows the struggles(奋斗) and achievements(成就) of the Chinese women’s volleyball team over the past 40 years. Gong Li, a world-famous Chinese actress, plays the role(角色) of Lang Ping, who has won the world championships many times with the team and is now the team’s head coach. In order to play the role well, Gong came to the training site of the team, observing Lang’s words and deeds(举止) carefully.Zhu Ting, captain of the Chinese wom en’s volleyball team, also plays a part in the film. It is the first time that she has taken part in a film shooting and she says it’s a little bit difficult. However, her playing volleyball is more difficult than being an actress. It took her at least 10 years to rise to fame(成名) in the field but playing herself in the film could be realized in a short time.The film hit the screen in January, 2020. The Chinese women’s volleyball team not only is a competitive sports team but also shows the spirit(精神) of struggling and never giving up.61. When did the Chinese women’s volleyball team first win the world championship?A. in 2020B. in 1981C. in 2019D. in 198262.

Keep on fighting.B. Failure is the mother of success.C. Learn from mistakes.D. Seeing is believing.65. Where is the passage possibly from?A. A story book.B. An advertisement.C. A film magazine.D. A tour guide.CEver wonder why you can go over a book again and again and still be lost when tested on what you read? It may be because you haven’t practiced remembering.Remembering is a useful way to help us learn. Some of us remember best by listening; others by re-reading; and others learn best by using pictures and diagrams(图表). Schools try many of these different ways to help students “download” new information.But a recent study from Purdue University, US, says that successful learning means being able to recall information at any moment.“Our view is that learning is not about studying or getting knowledge ‘in memory’,” said Jeffrey Karpicke, the lead researcher. “Learning is about ret rieving(寻回, 检索). So it is important to make retrieval practice an important part of the learning process.The research studied two groups of students. Both groups learned something from a text. One group made diagrams about the text. This method(方法) is called concept mapping. The other group put the text away after learning it and tried recalling the concepts from memory.Then, both groups were tested(被测试) on the information they had learned. Both groups scored well at recalling the learned information. However, when they were asked to return one week later, the group who made diagrams scored better than the group who did not use concept mapping. So by drawing concept maps, we are able to recall information far better, which will help us to study.Our mind, just like our body, has to practice activities to become good at them.66. Which of the following ways of remembering is NOT mentioned(提及) in Paragraph 2?A. Listening.B. Re-reading.C. Speaking.D. Using pictures and diagrams.67. According to Jeffrey Karpicke, learning is about _______.A. studying knowledge from memoryB. getting and recalling knowledgeC. practicing drawing photos and mapsD. getting knowledge from memory68. What does the underlined part “concept mapping” in Paragraph 5 mean in Chinese?A. 心电图B. 概念图C. 规划图D. 线路图69. When both groups were tested on the information after one week, _______.A. they both scored wellB. the group that didn’t use concept mapping scored betterC. neither of the groups scored wellD. the group using concept mapping scored better70. What can we tell from the story?A. Our minds need to practice to remember things.B. It’s impossible to remember everything we’ve learned.C. How to get knowledge by concept mapping.D. Concept mapping is the only way to learn.答案：56-60 DABCD 61-65 BDCAC 66-70 CBBDA四、阅读理解阅读下列短文，根据短文内容选择最佳答案（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AA huge fire swept through the top of the famous Notre-Dame de Paris(巴黎圣母院) on Monday evening, April 15, 2019, sending flames and huge clouds of grey smoke into the sky.Notre-Dame de Paris is one of the most famous buildings in the world.

All the French think it’s a terrible thing. Unluckily, one of the firemen was hurt in the fire. But all of them didn’t know what made the fire.Thousands of people got to the streets around it on that day. They watched the famous building quietly. Some started to cry and some showed their wishes.All the French were very sad to watch it on fire and they decided to build it again. It’s famousbecause it stood in Paris for many years.

Just then, a voice called out, “I’ll follow you, no matter where you go.” The businessman looked up and there was his first wife.

牛津译林版八上U4 Do it yourself 阅读理解专练附答案
Unit4 阅读理解专练Different gestures (手势〕mean different things in different countries. Sometimes a gesture that is polite in one country is not polite in another and should not be used. Different meanings of gestures can also cause problems in understanding what another person is trying to say. A gesture that many people do not understand is one that uses the thumb. Most westerners will sometimes show that they like something by holding out a closed hand with the thumb lifting in the air. This is called give som eone or something “the thumbs up.〞Often,only one thumb is used,so it should be “the thumb up.〞The usual explanation (解释)for the origin of this gesture is not really correct. It says that in ancient Roman times, when people were pleased with the way a gladiator(角斗士〕had fought, they showed their thumbs up. When they were not pleased, they gave the thumbs down. When a gladiator was given the thumbs up，the emperor allowed him to live. When a gladiator was given the thumbs down, the emperor ordered him to be killed.The truth is, however, it was translated into a wrong meaning by mistake. If people wanted to save the gladiator, they put out their hands and hid their thumbs in their hands.
