Most of these people are old people and children. Old people are often killed because they usually cannot see or hear very well. Children are often killed because they are not careful. They have to look and listen before they cross the road.A car, truck or bus can not stop very quickly. If the vehicle is going very fast , it will travel many metres before it stops. People don’t always understand this. They think a car can stop within a few metres. The faster a car is traveling , the longer it takes to stop. It is very difficult for a person to know how far a car is traveling.The only safe way to cross the road is to look both ways, right and left. Then if the road is clear, it is safe to cross. The right way to cross the road is to walk quickly. It is not safe to run. If people run across the road , they may fall down.Choose T or F for each question:( )1. Children are often killed when crossing the road because they usually cannot see or hear very well.( )2.It is easy for a driver to stop his vehicle when he finds something wrong some metres in front of him.( )3.When you cross the road, you’d better look carefully and walk quickly( )4.Run across the road when the vehicle is coming towards you.( )5.The writer asks people to be careful with the traffic.DAmericans think a great deal about time. From childhood they learn to value(珍惜) time. As children, they are taught to be on time to go to school, to do work and to do everything. When they are having a good time, they say that time flies. When a person is dying, they say he is living on borrowed time.Time is money. Time is knowledge. Time is everything in America. A working American has to work hard for 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week. This is the working time. In his spare(业余) time, he also works hard for more money. Even Saturday and Sunday are filled with activities(活动). In the street you can hardly see a man who walks slowly. They walk very fast. In fact, they are running.They love time because time bring them money, comfort (舒服) and progress(进步).But sometimes they also hate time, for they feel they have become servants of the clock.( )1.

It makes our life easier, and we have less to worry about.However, some parents like to do almost everything for their children. They see their children (and sometimes even adults) as babies! It can be a very common(普遍的) problem in China. Some parents care so much about the safety of their children that they are afraid to let them go anywhere or do anything by themselves. As a result, their children can’t learn social skills, and depend more on their parents!In fact, no children would really be happy that their parents look after them all the time. No parents would be happy knowing that their children don’t know a thing about the world! Children need their own time to learn how to deal with problems.It is nice that parents show their care to their children, it is nice that children know that their parents’ care is the result of love, and it will be nicer if the children let their parents know how much love they really need, and how much love is too much. ( )1. The common problem in China mentioned in the passage is _____.A. parents in China only have one childB. parents do almost everything for their childrenC. children look like babiesD. parents don’t let children do anything( )2.

The title for the passage is “_____”.A. No Longer BabiesB. Take Care of Your ChildrenC. Let Your Children Do AnythingD.

The food tastes good and warm, and a family meal brings everyone together. In some families, meals are often the only times everyone sees one another at the same time. Another reason(原因) people enjoy home cooking is that it is often a way of showing love.

It was a typical day, yet something felt different.As I walked through the park, I noticed a group ofchildren playing with their kites. Their laughter was contagious, and I couldn't help but smile. The kites dancedin the sky, a vibrant display of colors against the backdropof the setting sun.At the edge of the park, an elderly couple sat on a bench, holding hands and watching the world go by. Their faces were etched with the wisdom of years, yet their eyes sparkled with the joy of simple pleasures.As I continued my walk, I came across a street vendor selling fresh fruits. The aroma of ripe strawberries andjuicy oranges filled the air, tempting passersby to stop and indulge in the sweet treats.The park was alive with the sounds of music, as a groupof musicians played their instruments with passion and skill. Their melodies floated through the air, adding a layer of harmony to the already vibrant atmosphere.In the distance, the city lights began to twinkle,signaling the transition from day to night. The sky was painted with hues of pink and orange, a beautiful canvas for the stars that would soon appear.As the sun dipped below the horizon, the city came alive with a different kind of energy. Streetlights flickered on, casting long shadows on the pavement. The sounds of the day gave way to the murmurs of the night, as people sought the comfort of their homes and the warmth of their loved ones.In the midst of this bustling city, I found a moment of peace. It was a reminder that even in the most chaotic of places, there is always beauty to be found and joy to be shared.。

Her stories were so interesting that both of her friends liked them very much.Sunny and her friends dreamed of the day when they would turn into beautiful butterflies. Sunny believed her wings would have rainbow colours. Finally, the day came. Sunny came out of her chrysalis (蛹). She was very excited. She flew quickly down to a river, looking into the water.“No.” she shouted loudly. She couldn’t believe her eyes. On her back were two wings as black as night. This wasn’t what she had thought at all. “How I wish I could be a caterpillar again.” Just at that time, May and June came over.“Wow, what big wings you have.” May said.“You look like the midnight sky,” said June. “We missed your stories.

He went around the village with a basket and asked each person to give him some of their wisdom (智慧). The people laughed at Anansi because they knew that he needed wisdom the most. So each person put a bit in his basket and wished him good luck.Soon his basket was full, but Anansi was worried that his neighbors might be jealous (嫉妒) of his wisdom and take it from him. He decided to hide it at the top of a tall tree. He tied the basket to the front part of his body and tried to climb the tree, but it was too difficult. He tried again and again without success.Then his youngest son walked by. “What are you doing, Father?” he asked and Anansi told him. “Why don’t you carry the basket on your back instead?” his son said.Anansi put the basket on his back and climbed the tree easily, but he wasn’t happy. “I walked all over the village and collected so much wisdom that I am the wisest person ever, but my baby son is still wiser than me. Take back your wisdom!” he said. And he threw the basket of wisdom into the air and went home. And that’s how wisdom went all over the world.14．Anansi went around the village because ________.A．he knew he was very clever B．he wanted to show his good luckC．he hoped to meet his son D．he thought he wasn’t wise enough 15．Anansi wanted to get his wisdom from ________.A．his son B．his father C．the villagers D．the neighbors 16．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.A．the tree B．the basket C．the luck D．the wisdom 17．The best title for the passage would be ________.A．Anansi’s Wisdom B．The Wisdom of Anansi’s sonC．Anansi and His Son D．Anansi and the Villagers五Traveling (旅行) is very interesting.

His palace was always decorated (装饰) with beautiful orchids (兰花) and other flowers. As the king grew older, he knew that one day he would have to give up his throne (王位). So he had to find someone to rule the country.The other day, the king had an idea. He asked his servants to travel to every part of the country and give every citizen a single orchid seed (种子). He then announced (宣布) that the person who grew the most beautiful orchid would take his throne.Everyone in the country then got their own seed. One young man named David was especially excited about the news, because he had experience in growing flowers himself.David planted his seed in a pot and put it in a place where it would get lots of sunlight. He watered it carefully every day. But hard as he tried, his flower simply would not grow.Finally, it was time for everyone to give their flowers to the king. David took his empty pot to the palace. “Your Majesty (陛下), I am sorry to say that l could not grow an orchid. But I hope you can see that l tried my best,” he said.The king was moved by David’s honesty. Although he did not choose David as the new king, he gave David a job as a royal court judge (法官). He believed that David’s honesty would make him the right person to make sure of the justice (公正) in the country.22．According to the king’s order, who could be the next king?A．The man who was the smartest.B．The man who was the most honest.C．The man who could plant the best seed.D．The man who could grow the most beautiful orchid.23．What do we know about David?A．He told a joke to the king.B．He failed to grow the king’s orchid.C．He was good at growing orchids.D．He was chosen to be the next king. 24．What can we learn from the story?A．David was the only winner in the end.B．It is stupid of the king to choose David as a judge.C．It is impolite of David to give an empty pot to the king.D．The king believed honesty was very important for a judge.25．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．Honesty is the Best Policy B．How to Grow OrchidsC．Flowers are the Best Gifts D．It’s Very Easy to Grow Orchids七①Have you ever heard that groundhogs can predict (预测) the end of winter? How about that elephants never forget things? Or that dogs can smell the strange? That may not be 100% true. However, many animals do have stronger senses than humans.①Do animals have a sixth sense that can tell the future? That may sound out of this world. However, many events seem to support this idea.①Thousands of years ago, a big earthquake hit Helike, Greece. Buildings came down. Many people were hurt. But there was something amazing. The city’s animals acted strangely days before the earthquake. Rats and snakes ran from the city in groups. Did they know an earthquake was coming? In 1975, one million people had to leave their hometown, Haicheng, Liaoning Province with the help of Chinese government. Why? They believed a disaster was coming. They thought this, in part,because of animals’ strange behaviours. Just days later, a large earthquake hit the city. Experts (专家) said 150,000 could have lost their lives if people stayed in the city at that time. In December 2004, the animals of Sri Lanka were acting strange. Elephants ran around. Dogs wouldn’t go outside. Zoo animals wouldn’t leave their home. Soon after people saw these strange behaviours, a tsunami (海啸) hit the island.①Animals seem to be pretty good at predicting (预测) disasters. But it doesn’t stop there! Some of them even seem to sense small changes in the weather before they happen. Bees are known to find places before it rains. Dairy farmers say they can tell a big storm is coming when their cows lie down. Cats and dogs are also said to know when a storm is on its way, as are birds and turtles. Can animals really tell the future?①Experts say it’s unlikely (不可能的) that animals can tell the future. However, they might hear or feel the earthquake before people do. Even though scientists have not proved animals have the ability to predict disasters before they happen and animals’ predictions aren’t always right, it’s not bad to pay attention to the animals. 26．According to the passage, we know many animals ________.A．can tell the future in different ways B．have better sense abilities than humans C．act strangely after some natural disasters D．use the sixth sense to predict earthquakes27．The word “behaviours” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.A．actions B．senses C．ideas D．feelings 28．How many examples do the writer use in Paragraph 3 to support the idea that animals can tell the future?A．Two.B．Three.C．Four D．Five. 29．What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?A．Animals are good at helping farmers.B．Animals are good at finding their homes.C．Animals seem to know the future problems.D．Animals seem to know the weather changes.30．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Can Animals Predict the Future?B．Do Animals Have Stronger Senses?C．How Do Animals Save People’s Life?D．What Are Animals’ Ways to Tell the Future?八Think back to a time in your life when you tried something new.When I was a teenager I volunteered to pass out water at a local race. I was so excited to see all the different runners who passed by and quickly took a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past.I saw so many kinds of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it too! The next year I decided to run for the race, but I had little running practice. I just wanted to finish.On the day of the race, it was terribly hot. After running for about 5 miles, I was thinking, “I must be crazy. Why did I do this? What was I thinking?” And at one moment, I said to myself, “I am never doing this again!”That first 10 km race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and walked. At times, I didn’t know if I could finish.Near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very fast, and I felt a little embarrassed (尴尬的) that I was more than 50 years younger than he and I couldn’t even keep up with him. But then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. How often in life do we compare ourselves to others when we really shouldn’t? I decided that I would not give up on running races, and that one day I would be one of those 70-year-olds who were still running.As I crossed the finishing line, I was so proud of myself. I didn’t regret (后悔) having such an experience.31．Why did the writer join in the running race?A．He was crazy about running for the race.B．He just wanted to try something new.C．He though he had rich running experience.D．He expected to see if he was strong enough.32．How did the writer’s feeling change during the race?① He decided to keep on running.① He felt very proud of himself.① He was kind of embarrassed.① He regretted joining in the race.A．①→①→①→①B．①→①→①→①C．①→①→①→①D．①→①→①→①33．What did the writer try to tell us?A．We should volunteer as teenagers.B．We should cheer up for old people.C．We should run our own race in life.D．We should try our best to be No. 1.附答案及解析1．C 2．B 3．D 4．D 5．A解析：本文主要介绍富美子在纽约度过的快乐时光，及她对纽约的喜爱之情。

They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere(大气) , because this is where the weather forms.They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists(气象学家) can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead.( )6.

I often retell (复述) the text in my own words. I always work hard at English and never give it up (放弃).Of course this is not enough. In the evening, I do my homework carefully. When I find something interesting, I will write it down in English. At first, I couldn’t write well, but with the help of my teacher, I have made great progress.21．English is difficult to learn because ________.A．there are too many English wordsB．it is too hard to learn the texts by heartC．English grammar is too difficultD．it is very different from our mother tongue22．What is the first important thing to learn English well?A．Learning more grammar rules.B．Learning more texts by heart.D．Taking a lot of English tests.23．Which of the following doesn’t show the right way of learning English?A．Listening to the teacher carefully in class.B．Trying hard to answer the questions in English.C．Listening to the tapes of English texts very often.D．Giving it up if it is too hard to learn.24．What’s the best way to improve (提高) your spoken English?A．To have a good rest after class.B．To do a lot of hearing and speaking.C．To do more writing work every evening.D．To write it down when you find something interesting.25．When the writer talks about “I have made great progress”, he means that ________.A．he is not very good at EnglishB．he does a lot of homeworkC．others need to study English in his wayD．he is better at English now（2022·安徽·合肥工业大学附属中学八年级阶段练习）The best way of learning EnglishThe best way of learning a language is by using it. The best way of learning English is talking in English as much as possible. Sometimes you will get your words mixed up and people will not understand you. Sometimes people will say things too quickly and you can’t understand them. But if you keep your sense of humour, you can always have a good laugh at the mistakes.

When you can do that, you have learned something that you will never forget!Some good songs to listen to are from the Beatles, John Denver and the Carpenters.
