A.Almost every child likes sweet things，such as candies，chocolate，ice cream and desserts．But do you know there is a holiday called Sweetest Day in the USA? Does it mean people can eat lots of sweets on that day?Sweetest Day is a popular holiday for Americans．People celebrate it on the third Saturday in October．On that day，people show their love to the elderly，children，their good friends or anyone else they want to help．Orphans（孤儿）and patients can also enjoy people’s greetings．In fact，anyone may get a gift on that day．It is just a day that offers people a chance to show their love and care to others．How did the holiday originate（起源）?Here is a story．In 1922，a very kind man in Cleveland，a city in Ohio of America，thought that many poor people in the city needed care from others．He wanted them to be happy and he hoped theywould find people always remembered them and cared about them．So he gave them boxes of sweets or small gifts to show his love．He also asked his friends and neighbours to help him do these things．Many people thought it was a great idea．After that more and more people in Cleveland began to do things like him every year．Gradually it became a popular holiday for lots of Americans．1．The underlined（画线的）word “desserts”in Paragraph 1probably means ________．A．eggs B．salty food C．beefD．sweet food2．Oct.4 is the first Saturday in October this year,so Sweetest Day will be celebrated on ______．A．Oct．4 B．Oct．11 C．Oct．18D．Oct．253．Paragraph 2 mainly talks about ________．A．what the Americans do to make friendsB．how Americans celebrate Sweetest DayC．why the elderly and children are helpedD．where orphans and patients are greeted 4．Sweetest Day has a history of about _________ years．A．82 B．98 C．102D．1125．More and more people did things like the kind man because _________．A．they agreed with the kind man and followed his exampleB．they thought they would also be cared about if they did soC．they thought they could be remembered by the poor peopleD．they were asked by the kind man to try their best to help othersBYou may have heard of the famous saying,“East or West, home is the best.”What does the word“home”mean to you? How do you say the word in French, in Chinese, in your language?Although people usually know what the word means, it sometimes has no exact translation. It’s not surprising, because the idea of home is different from country to country, and from person to person. A home is more than a roof and four walls. It’s the cooking, eating, talking, playing andsleeping that go on inside. And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.Homes look different in different countries. They also have different things inside. For example, in cold northern Europe, there’s a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it. In the south, where the sun shines a lot and it’s more important to keep the heat out, there are small windows and cool stone floors.We asked some people about their homes.How often do people move house in your country?“In my country many people don’t stay in one place for a very long time. They often move every ten years or so.”-- Chery, Boston, USAWhat are features (特征) of homes in your country?“In Britain, even in town, there’s always a garden. We have separate bedrooms and living rooms. But we don't often have balconies (阳台). The weather isn’t warm enough!”--Pat, Exeter, England6.The word“home”sometimes has no exact translation because __________.A. no one knows what it isB. people can’t understand each other very wellC. people can’t find this word in the dictionaryD. it has different meanings in different countries7. According to the passage, at home, you can do everything EXCEPT __________.A. making friendsB. cooking and eatingC. playing and talkingD. sleeping and relaxing8. Why is it important to keep the heat out of the houses in southern Europe?A.Because the sun there shines a lot.B. Because there’s a fire in the living room.C. Because they wear heavy clothes all day long.D. Because they want to breathe fresh air outside.9. From the second paragraph, what kind of homes people have depends on __________.A.how old they areB. the climate(气候) they haveC. whether they are rich or notD. whether they live in the city or countryside10. What can we learn from the passage？A. Homes look the same in different countries.B. Some Americans move house several times during their lifetime.C. People in Britain seldom have balconies because it's so hot outside.D. Houses in northern Europe have big windows and cool stone floors.CDo American children still learn handwriting in school? In the age of the keyboard, some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting. But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it. One of this year’s studies found that about three out of every four teachers say theyare not prepared to teach handwriting. Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providinginstruction for 10 to 15 minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to70 minutes a day —which really for handwriting is pretty much.Many adults remember learning that way —by copying letters over and over again. Today’s thinking is that shortperiods of practice are better. Many experts (专家) also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. After all, that is why we write.Handwriting involves two skills. One is legibility, which means forming the letters so they can be read. The other is fluency (流畅) —writing without having to think about it. Fluency continues to develop up until high school.But not everyone masters these skills. Teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting. Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is seldom done in primary school, especially in the early years. American children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive(手写体), which connects the letters. But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board (大学委员会). More than 75 percent of students choose to print their essay (article) on the test rather than write in cursive.11. From Paragraph 1, we can learn ________.A. most teachers prefer to teach handwritingB. teachers spend little time in teaching handwritingC. a keyboard has taken the place of the handwritingD. teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in the teaching job12. Which of the following is WRONG for traditional handwriting in the USA?A. Handwriting includes two skills.B. To write in cursive is taught first.C. The letters are repeated many times.D. The students are taught by practicing a long period.13. Many experts think handwriting should be used to get students to ________.A. express ideasB. keep away from computersC. learn to write lettersD. practice more14. The underlined word “legibility”in Paragraph 3 means ________.A. easy to readB. easy to writeC. unexpectedD. unreadable15. The best title for the passage is ________.A. Handwriting Involves Two SkillsB. How to Improve Handwriting in SchoolC. Right or Wrong: the Death of HandwritingD. Handwriting Lessons Are on the Way OutDFew people can stop themselves from looking at pictures of cute animals. Take the Internet sensation(引起轰动的人或物) Sally chicken as an example. The chicken with a yellow body and flat mouth always looks lovely. Seeing her cute picture cheers people up. But there’s another benefit to cuteness.New research has found that looking at cute pictures of animals can also help us concentrate(专注)better. The study comes from researchers at Hiroshima University in Japan. They invited 132 university students to take part in some experiments. In one experiment, students were asked to find a given number from a list of numberswithin a time limit. They performed the given taskstwice---before and after looking at seven pictures of either baby cats and baby dogs, or cats and dogs. Researchers were surprised to find that students who were shown cute baby animal pictures made fewer mistakes.However, baby animals look both "cuter and more pleasant" than adult animals. What if the test difference came from their being pleasant"? To find the answer, the researchers chose some food pictures which looked pleasant but not cute and gave them to another group of students. But seeing the foods did not make the students perform any better in the number test. This finding suggests that seeing cute pictures makes students behave more deliberately and perform tasks with greater time and care.The "power of cuteness" could be of great use. Think about situations in which people need to act carefully: driving, office work and exams. " In my first year of high school, I brought small plastic toys to school during tests. I would set them up in a row on my desk, facing me, and then get busy answering exam questions.”Susana Martinez-Conde wrote in Scientific American.16. Why is Sally chicken mentioned in the first paragraph?A. She is the main character.B. She is a lovely Internet sensation.C. She is used to introduce the topic of the passage.D. She is popular to cheer people up on the Internet.17.What's the main finding of the study at Hiroshima University?A. Seeing cute animals could cheer people up.B. Seeing pleasant things helps people concentrate better.C. Seeing pictures of cats and dogs helps people perform better.D. Seeing cute things could help people focus on something better.18. The underlined word“deliberately”in the third paragraph has the closest meaning to“_________”.A. happilyB. correctlyC. activelyD. carefully19. What do Martinez-Conde's words tell us?A. It is popular for students to have toys.B. It is powerful for students to face toys.C. It is useful to look at cute things in daily life.D. It is good for students to look at toys after an exam.20. In which situation could the findings of the experiment be useful for you?A. Working in the lab.B. Relaxing in a roomC. Eating in a restaurantD. Shopping in a supermarketE.LONG before Wikipedia or Encyclopedia Britannica 《大英百科全书》, there was Pliny the Elder. He was a first-century Roman researcher. His assistants (助理) read to him while he ate dinner and while he bathed. All the while, Pliny took notes. He even considered walking a waste of time. His assistants carried him around Rome in a chair while he read.All of this was preparation for his Historia Naturalis (《博物志》). The book was published in A.D. 77. It is considered the oldest surviving encyclopedia(百科全书）on Earth. There are 2,500 chapters. They cover everything from mice to Mars. “No Roman author has completed such a project,”Pliny proudly announced. Unluckily, two years after publishing (出版) the encyclopedia, he died in a natural disaster.Accidents can hardly be avoided (避免). However, they canbe recorded. Editors of encyclope—dias, like Pliny, organize the knowledge of our world. Like a valuable gift, the books pass through the ages. They begin their lives as a tool and end them as a historical record. Therefore, in my opinion, an encyclopedia is not just a record of what its editors know. It’s also a record of what they don’t know.Pliny was wrong when he said there were seven planets, including the Sun and the Moon. He was wrong, too, when he said Africans were black from being burnt by the Sun. After all, Historia Naturalis is a book edited by a Roman thousands of years ago. These were all he truly knew.Similarly, both Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica have some incorrect information. Even the biggest encyclopedias only represent what their editors know.“The task of editing an encyclopedia can never be completed,”said Roger Lewinter, an American researcher. Encyclopedias can’t record all of the human knowledge but just some of it. They are always waiting for someone—you, perhaps—to improve them.21. According to the article, before Pliny the Elder completed his Historia Naturalis, ______.A. Nobody had considered walking a waste of timeB. There was no encyclopedia on EarthC. Nobody knew what Mars wasD. No Roman author had completed an encyclopedia22. When did Pliny die in a natural disaster?A. In A.D. 79.B. In A.D. 77.C. In A.D. 75.D. In 77 B.C.23. According to the article, which of the following statements can we find in Historia Naturalis?A. The Mars is not a planet.B. The Sun is a planet.C. Among all the continents, Africa is the farthest from the SunD. There are many mice in Africa24. Which of the following statements would the author agree to?A. We should destroy Pliny’s encyclopedia because it contains too many mistakes.B. Modern encyclopedias—such as Wikipedia—have fewer mistakes.C. In the biggest encyclopedia, we can find all of the human knowledge.D. In all encyclopedias, there is some incorrect information.25. The author expects his readers to _____.A.find all the mistakes in Historia NaturalisB. improve an encyclopediaC. complete the task of editing an encyclopediaD. take a look at the world’s biggest encyclopedias参考答案A.1-5 DCBBAB.6-10 DAABBC.11-15DBAACD.16-20 CDDCAE.21-25 DABDB。

Unit 1 What is the matter？阅读文章China is a great country with the largest population in the world. In order to solve the population problem, our government carried out one-child policy (政策) before. When it was carried out for some time, many people not only saw its advantages but also disadvantages.From 2016, two-child policy is put into effect. In my opinion, two-child policy is good. First of all, two-child policy is the gift for the only child (独生子). For some families, maybe the parents are an only child and they also can have an only child. Besides the loneliness of their child, when their child grows up and they grow older, their child marries an only child, the burden(负担) on their child and his wife is too heavy. Their child and his wife have to take care of two old couples. Usually, it's a little difficult for a young couple to look after two old couples. But if their parents have two children, they can share the burden of taking care of their parents. It would be much better. Secondly, two-child policy can guarantee (保证) the number of Chinese population.All in all, one-child policy has been out of date. And two-child policy is needed and necessary. It can solve the problems of the present and the future.试着做一做1. Which country has the largest population in the world?A. America.B. Britain.C. China.D. Japan.2.

Unit3 单元拓展阅读训练—扩宽视野，启迪心智A.It’s a cold, grey Sunday afternoon in March. The British are all working in their gardens. They are digging, cutting leaves and planting new seeds(种子). By summer, their gardens will the full of bright colours.The British love their gardens. A British newspaper recently asked people for their opinions about them. Around 70% of the people felt it was important to spend time in the garden, and over 50% of these described gardening as the most enjoyable thing they ever did.Only one in ten houses in Britain do not have a garden. People who live in houses without gardens often rent(租用) land from the government.At first, only very rich people had gardens. You can still see the gardens around houses with a long history, such as Chatsworth House or Castle Howard. In the early twentieth century, however, gardening became a hobby. People bought different kinds of seeds and plants for their gardens. Although roses, sunflowers and tomatoes are often grown in British gardens, they originally(起初) grew wild in other countries.Every year, there are competitions for the largest vegetables, but don’t expect to win: Britain’s biggest carrot is almost six meters long.1.In summer, British gardens are often ______.A. full of people digging thereB. colorful with different plantsC. too hot for people to work thereD. covered with grey leaves and plants2.

But how much do they get?American Kids and Pocket MoneyIn the US, a little pre －school(学龄前的) kid may get a dollar or two, but older children get more. A lot of American parents give pocket money to their children, but their children have to do chores.Most American children think making pocket money will help them to understand money better. An American boy Jacob said, “I get $40 every month. I put half of them in the bank and spend the remaining money on new things that I need.”British Kids and Pocket MoneyIn Britain, kids in primary school get 4 or 5 pounds each week. When they enter middle school, they get about 9 pounds. Also, British boys get a little more pocket money than girls.Like kids in the US, British children do chores to get their pocket money. That's why British children know a lot about spending money. 7% of them spend less than ￡1 each week, 73% spend between ￡1 and ￡5 each week, and 20% spend over ￡5 each week. Mos t of them spend money on sweets, crisps and chocolate.6.Jacob puts ________ in the bank every month.A．10 dollars B．20 dollars C．30 dollars D．40 dollars7.In Britain, most kids spend ________ every week.A．less than ￡1 B．between ￡1 and ￡5C．between ￡5 and ￡10 D．more than ￡58.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.British boys get a little more pocket money than girls.B．Most American children think making pocket money will help them understand money betterC.In the US, a little pre－school kid may get one or two dollars.D.British kids in primary school get about 9 pounds each week.9.What do most kids in Britain spend their pocket money on?A．Clothes.B．Books.

The 57-year-old father of three said on the Today. show that his children Jennifer and Rory were not allowed phones until their thirteenth birthday and his younger daughter Phoebe is still waiting for one.“We’ve made a rule in our family that it’s 13 when you get a phone. ” He also said as a result his child often ret urned home from school complaining, “All the other kids have it.

It is said their kids have to do housework after school and aren't given much pocket money.And in 2010 Mr Gates said that he wanted to give most of his $61 billion away rather than hand it down. “That wouldn’t be good for my kids or so ciety”, he said.Mr Gates left Microsoft in 2008 to put his heart into charity. During the Today interview with host Matt Lauser, he said that helping others made him feel happy as creating software.“What you really feel is what you’ve achieved.

How Mr and Mrs Gates raise their children.D.Many kids help parents to do chores in the house. They may take out the trash, walk the dogor sweep the floor. In return, some kids get money or other rewards(奖励）from their parents,Such as 20 minutes to play computer games.But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them isJane Smith, a parenting educator and family coach. She believes if kids get rewards, t hey may think that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. For example, kids won’t sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will do it if their parents reward them for it.“Every house is a team effort,” Jane said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have a responsibility to keep our home clean.”Other people hold different opinions. They believe that money or other rewards encourage kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn about how we need to work to make money.Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital (电子的) gifts that can be used either online or in life. With the app ChoreMonster, kids earn digital points after doing chores. Kids can exchange their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids so they can earn rewards,” says Joe Black, founder of ChoreMonster.“Kids need positive (积极的) power to make them do chores.”16. Jane Smith thinks that____________.A. housework isn’t worth doingB. kids do like doing choresC. kids should get something in returnD. kids shouldn’t get rewards for doing chores17. ChoreMonster is a(n) ________________.A. educatorB. coachC. appD. app founder18.

What’s the purpose of the apps mentioned in the passage?A. To give kids points and gifts.B. To encourage kids to do chores.C. To exchange points for real rewards.D. To give kids advice on doing chores.20. The passage mainly talks about ________________.A. how to encourage kids to do choresB. what kind of chores kids should doC. if kids should do chores at homeD. whether kids should be rewarded for doing choresE.Nobody likes doing the dishes because doing the dishes is boring. A new study shows that washing dishes by hand is better for children’s health than a dishwasher(洗碗机).Research in Sweden surveyed the parents of 1,029 children. They found that children whose families hand-washed the dishes had fewer allergies(过敏)than those whose families used to dishwasher to do the dishes.Earlier research showed that dishes washed by dishwasher are cleaner than those washed by hand. So why would kids who eat with a little dirtier plates be better at stopping allergies? It says the reason kids have allergies is because their environment are too clean.Your immune system(免疫系统)keeps you healthy by fighting against(反对)germs(微生物)and viruses(细菌).But when you have allergies, it doesn’t work well and tries to fight common things like usual foods.“Meeting germs, especially early in life, is good for the imm une system,” says the writer of th e study, Dr. Bill in a hospital in Sweden.“You encourage the immune system in different ways and it becomes strong.”This study shows that while using the dishwasher might be easier, doing more housework with hands ,we have fewer allergies.21.According to the new study,____________ .A.washing dishes with hands is better for childrenB.washing dishes with dishwashers is better for childrenC.washing dishes with hands is much more boringD.washing dishes with dishwashers is much more boring22.Through the 3rd paragraph ,the writer wants to tell us__________ .A.we should wash dishes with dishwashersB.dishes washed by hands are dirtierC.too clean environments are bad for childrenD.it’s good for kids to eat with dirty plates23.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.The immune system fights against germsB.The immune system fights against virusesC.The immune system fights against allergiesD.Allergies are bad for the immune system24.

人教版英语八年级下册_Unit2_单元拓展阅读训练
Unit2 单元拓展阅读训练—扩宽视野，启迪心智A.DOGS can be good friends for humans. Or they can even help blind people. But have you heard of these animals competing in dog shows?Well, the US just held the 140th annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show (威斯敏斯特全犬种大赛) in New York City. This is the second oldest sporting event in the US. This year’s Best in Show was C.J., a German short haired pointer (猎狗). He won against over 2,700 other dogs.But what goes into preparing for this show? First, a dog must be 100 percent one kind of breed (品种) to compete. Dogs need good training to do well. And they need to be successful at other important dog shows, too.On the day of the show, people look after the dogs very carefully. They brush the dogs’ hair and make their hairstyles look perfect. The owner and dog step into the ring and run around the outside to show everyone the dog. Then they move to the judges. Judges are looking at everything: how they act, their fur (毛发) and many small things.To compete at dog shows like this, it costs around $50,000 (about 330,000 yuan) to $100,000 a year. That goes to trainers, travel and taking care of the dog. So why do people do it?Some do it to help teach people about dog breeds, while others do it to make money. But they must have a love of their furry friends. Or they wouldn’t spend that much time and money on them.1.

You see how little things can change a person’s life for the better, which makes everyone a better person,” Mason, a volunteer sai d. National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity(机会) to encourage others to take their first step towards becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization’s expectations(期望). Some people fear (害怕）not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also stops some from sharing their abilities.The following tips can help if you have some of these worries:·Start out slowly, and don’t add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone’s life.·Choose an organization with the same interest and common values.·Work with a veteran volunteer. He volunteered a lot, and he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization’s expectations.·Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.·Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn’t work, don’t give up and you’ll surely find the right opportunity.Spend some time on voluntee r work and you will see great changes in people’s lives. As Mason discovered during his volu nteer experience, “…little things can change a person’s life.”6.Volunteering can help .A.make a decisionB.see the world clearlyC.thank other peopleD.make a person’s life better7.What could be the reason to stop people taking the first step?A.They don’t have enough time.B.They are stopped by their families.C.They fear that their abilities are shared.D.They don’t expect to become volu nteers.8.Which of the following can help people take the first step?A.Start out quickly.anize a training meeting.C.Invite a friend to be with them.D.Join in a group with different values.9.The underlined word “veteran” in the passage means “”.A.politeB.humorousC.youngD.experienced10.What is the main idea of the passage?A.To tell people to make changes in their lives.B.To encourage people to start their volunteering.C.How to make great achievements in volunteering.D.How to keep on volunteering whatever happened.C.It is difficult to set up a successful charity(慈善）group. But two American kids have done it.Grace Callwood, 12, is from Edgewood Middle School in Maryland. She set up a charity group called the We Cancerve Movement. It donates(捐赠) clothes, food and other things to homeless children. In four years, it has helped more than 3,700 kids.When Grace Callwood was 7 years old, she got a kind of cancer(癌症) . She had to leave school and give up her favourite hobby—dancing. She also gained (获得）weight because of cancer treatment. She couldn't fit into her new back-to-school clothes. So she donated the clothes to two girls in need. It made her feel good, so she kept doing it. In 2011, she started the We Cancerve Movement.Similarly, Shreya Papneja, from Carson Middle School in Virginia, started a charity group called Children's Health Awareness Programme in Schools at the age of 13. It helps kids make healthy choices and tries to stop childhood obesity. A doctor once told Shreya Papneja that more thanone-third of the kids in America are overweight.

However, the journey changed her life and she also changed the world.In 2006, Doyne took a backpacking trip through the Himalayan Mountains in the country of Nepal (尼泊尔）that was destroyed by the war. Because Doyne had grown up comfortably in Mendham , New Jersey, the USA, she was surprised and upset to see so many orphans(孤儿) living on the streets. She wanted to do something about it. So she used her savings of $5,000 to buy a piece of land in the village of Surkhet, Nepal and build the kids a home, the Kopila Valley Children's Home.The Kopila Valley Children's Home opened its door in 2008. Doyne cares for 26 kids at the home at present. The children at the home learn skills such as cooking and other chores. And she has helped more than 700 other homeless kids find families. She also runs a program that provides scholarships(奖学金) for poor families to send their children to school.Do Something(an organization that provides support for teens who want to make a difference in the world) also did something for Doyne. On June 4th, 2009, the organization gave Doyne $100，000 for her service as the 2009 Do Something Award.

Keeping pets lowers blood pressure and makes people less worried. Animals are increasingly important in treating older people who have memory loss and other brain problems. These people often feel nervous and upset. Activities with animals help them improve their physical condition and also give them joy, entertainment and loving friendship.Here is a case that shows the benefits(优点）of animals. John was a six-year-old mute. He had no physical problems. He just refused to talk. His older cousin, Ned, had a parrot（鹦鹉）called Sally, and John used to visit it. When he arrived, Net used to say, “Hi, John!” We a ll know parrots copy what they hear. After a few visits, Sally began saying “Hi, John!” when John came into the room. Then, one day, John turned to the parrot and replied “Hi, Sally!” Staying with the parrot encouraged John to begin talking.Another use of animal helpers is in schools. In some cases, animals are used to help children with physical or personal problems. In other cases, they are used to teach children to get on and share with others, and even to teach them about animals.If you want to know more about animal helper programs, you can get in touch with organi- zations like Riding for the Disabled or do a search under “animal therapy” on the Internet. You don’t have to be an animal trainer or a doctor to join in.21.Which is NOT mentioned as an illness that animals can help with?A. Heart diseaseB. CancerC. FeverD.
