牛津译林版八年级英语上册阅读理解专项强化训练题含答案Day 1Rights belong to allDo you know what human rights are? They are basic rights that belong to every person in the world. They include the right to life, freedom from slavery (奴役), the right to work and education, and many more. China has played a leading role in protecting human rights. On Oct 13, China was elected (选举) as a member of the Human Rights Council of the United Nations. The country has made great achievements in human rights since 1949, Xinhua noted. For example, Chinese people who lived before 1949 lived through war and poverty (贫困). Average life expectancy (人均预期寿命) during that time was around 35 years. After 70 years, China can feed (养活) more than 1.3 billion people and provide jobs for 770 million people. The country's life expectancy rose to 77.3 years in 2019, CGTN noted. As for the right to education, Chinese people spent less than one year in school in 1949. Today, we have nine years of compulsory (义务的) education. Access (使用权) to the internet is also a basic human right. As of June, 67 percent of China's population had access to the internet. That's 5 percent higher than the global average.1. What are human rights?_______________________________________2. What's the news in the story?_______________________________________3. How much did life expectancy rise from 1949 to2019?_______________________________________4. What is education like for Chinese peopletoday?_______________________________________5. How many people have access to the internet in Chinanow?_______________________________________6. What are Paragraphs 3-5 mainlyabout?_______________________________________Day 2Helping needy farmersJack Berne is a student from Sydney, Australia. He got a lot of attention after starting A fiver (五美元) for a Farmer, which helped raise 1 million dollars (around 7 million yuan) for drought-affected (受旱灾影响的) Australian farmers in 2018. Berne said he saw a video at school that showed how droughts have affected children and animals. This made him want to do something about it.Now, the 12-year-old boy is one of 430 children who are taking part in a global campaign (活动) for Lego called Rebuild the World. The children helped to build an installation (装置) in Denmark –a 4-meter-wide globe (地球仪) made of Lego bricks. The globe, which took 2,700 hours to build, features (以……为特征) buildings designed by the children. Berne's creation, which he calls Farming Home, is a farm that has everything people need to live comfortably –a stream (溪流) for water, crops for food, and a windmill (风车) for power. "To think that something I created in my living room is now part of a huge installation at the Lego House in Denmark is just crazy," Berne said. Berne is continuing his efforts (努力) to help Australian farmers. "We asked people to bring in an'all-Australian' lunch. I asked people to buy in-season produce (农产品), check their labels (标签) and buy Australian products," Berne said.1. According to the story, A fiver for a Farmer _____.A. helps farmers who have experienced droughts B. was started by the Australian governmentC. raised very little money in 2018D. is a global activity to help farmers2. What do we know about Rebuild the World?A. It was started by Danish children.B. It is a global campaign for Lego. C. Berne started the campaign.D. It will raise money to help farmers.3. Berne felt _____ to take part in Rebuild the World.A. funny B. lonelyC. scared D. proud4. From the last two paragraphs, we know that _____.A. many Australians work on farmsB. A fiver for a Farmer will continue in the futureC. Berne wants to help farmers make more moneyD. Berne decided to help people in other areasDay 3Get your candy safely during the pandemicHalloween is just around the corner! People in the West celebrate it on Oct 31 every year. Children usually go trick-or-treating (不给糖就捣蛋) –they knock on their neighbors' doors and ask for candy. But because of COVID-19, many cities have advised people not to go trick-or-treating this year. As health experts said, the virus spreads more easily when people have close contact (接触) with each other. But this will not stop Halloween fans from keeping the tradition going. For example, Elizabeth Lusty from London came up with an idea for her two children. She and her neighbors will put boxes of candy in their front yards. Then they'll plan a safe route (路线) so that children can take the candy without coming into contact with others. Andrew Beattie from the US also got creative. He and his 6-year-old daughter made a contact-free candy chute (滑道). It stretches (延伸) from the family's front door to the sidewalk. They can send candy down the chute to trick-or-treaters outside. The idea became popular online and many people are doing thesame. "This is something that the kids will enjoy and not think of it as 'I'm doing this to prevent (预防) disease (疾病),'" Beattie told CNN. "They're doing it to have a good time, and we need that now."1. This year, trick-or-treating is not suggested because _____.A. it's not healthy for children to eat candyB. neighbors will not give out candy to kidsC. many cities will ban the activityD. close contact may allow COVID-19 to spread2. How can kids collect candy from Andrew's house?A. They collect candy as usual.B. Andrew will hand it to them.C. They can take it from a box.D. They collect candy from a chute.3. Paragraphs 3 and 4 explain _____. A. what Halloween is usually likeB. new ways for kids to trick-or-treatC. what people are doing to stop trick-or-treatersD. how neighbors stay in touch with each other4. What can we learn from Beattie?A. COVID-19 might spread quickly on Halloween.B. People need trick-or-treating these days.C.Trick-or-treating will not be fun this year.D. Kids don't care about COVID-19.Day 4Why do these bugs love blood?What does our blood taste like to mosquitoes? Do they bite us because they think our blood tastes good? Scientists at Rockefeller University in the US have found the answer. Mosquitoes feed on not only blood, but also flower nectar (花蜜). But when they drink blood, they have to use their stylets (口针) to pierce (刺破) our skin –otherwise (否则), they just use their lips to drink.The scientists fed mosquitoes a fake (假的) blood drink and looked at their neuron (神经元) activity. They found that neurons in their stylets became active only when the fake drink had four specific components (成分) –glucose (葡萄糖), sodium chloride (氯化钠), sodium bicarbonate (碳酸氢钠) and ATP (三磷酸腺苷). The former three components make blood taste a little salty and a little sweet, according to Leslie Vosshall, one of the researchers. But ATP is different from the others, as humans cannot taste it. Although it's impossible to say how it tastes to humans, it creates a tasty flavor for mosquitos. The findings have given scientists a new idea －they could use this against mosquitoes. They could make a type of drug (药) that changes how our blood tastes. Mosquitoes would quickly lose interest in our blood. "If mosquitoes weren't able to tell the taste of blood, in theory (理论上) they couldn't spread disease," said Veronica Jove, another researcher.1. What do we know from Paragraph 2?A. Mosquitoes smell by using their stylets.B. Mosquitoes use their lips to drink blood.C. Mosquitoes drink flower nectar.D. Mosquitoes prefer blood to flower nectar.2. Through the study, scientists found that _____.A. mosquitoes will die if they drink fake bloodB. mosquitoes like specific blood components C. mosquitoes can tell fake blood apart from real bloodD. ATP is tasteless to mosquitoes3. Paragraph 5 is mainly about _____.A. a way to prevent mosquito bitesB.a way to change the taste of our bloodC. a new drug that can kill mosquitoesD. a new type of food mosquitoes like to eatDay 5根据文章大意及首字母提示填空，补全短文。

DAY ONETraining in first aidFirst aid is a very useful skill to have. By learning it, you could save someone’s life someday. But in China, less than 1 percent of adults (成年人) have first aid knowledge, according to the China Science Communication website.The Ministry of Education (MOE) has realized this. On Aug 24, it issued (发布) a statement (通知) along with the Red Cross Society of China. It has asked all public schools in China to provide first aid courses, including CPR (心肺复苏) training, as part of their health classes.A 2019 survey by the State Council showed that 64.6 percent of schools already have these courses. However, the results have not been good. According to the MOE statement, future results are expected (预计) to be better.Other countries have also made efforts (努力) to provide first aid training to their citizens (公民). In 1966, the US government said police officers, firefighters, middle school teachers and college instructors (教师) must receive CPR training. A 2017survey showed that 65 percent of Americans have received CPR training.In Switzerland, all citizens learn first aid skills. In Germany, 80 percent of people have received first aid training, according to CGTN.How does CPR help?CPR is an important first aid skill that can save victims (受害者) of cardiac arrest (心脏骤停). The first few minutes are very important. If CPR is correctly performed on the victim within the first four to six minutes, the victim has a better chance of surviving (幸存).1. The MOE is bringing first aid training to schools because _____.A. few Chinese people have first aid knowledgeB. the World Health Organization said it is neededC. there are not enough doctors and nursesD. it can help people live longer lives2. What might we know from the 2019 survey?A. Students didn’t get high scores in their courses.B. The first aid training courses didn’t go well.C. The first aid training went better than expected.D. Students were interested in learning first aid.3. The last two paragraphs are written to show _____.A. first aid training is common in Asian countriesB. teaching first aid is not easyC. people in some fields should learn first aid knowledgeD. other countries have provided first aid training to their citizens4. What is the story mainly about?A. We can save others with first aid knowledge.B. More people will need first aid in the future.C. We need more time to train people in first aid.D. China is making first aid training part of its school courses.DAY TWOLearn to skate againIn 2018, I saw Canadian ice skater Tessa Virtue and her partner Scott Moir perform Moulin Rouge at the PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games. It encouraged me to realize my dream of skating. When I was just a little girl, I practiced skating for three years, but had to give it up and focus on (专注) school.Relearning figure skating (花样滑冰) at an older age is not easy. While standingon the thin steel blades (冰鞋刀) for the first time in years, I felt both excited and scared. I couldn’t remember any jumps o r spins (旋转). Younger skaters learn difficult rotation jumps (旋转跳跃). Could I still do that?“You have as much right to be here as anyone else,” my coach said to me. I felt better and decided to work harder. I fell many times while learning new jumps, spins and dance movements (舞蹈动作). Each fall only hurts more because you are already bruised (淤青的). But I still practice for hours each day.I’ve doubted (怀疑) myself and the pain is hard. But the feeling of joy is amazing. Fall down seven times, get up eight!1. After watching the two famous skaters perform, the writer _____.A. gave up her dreamB. decided to focus on schoolC. decided to relearn figure skatingD. wanted to learn something else2. When the writer got ready to start skating, _____.A. she was too excited to moveB. she found it difficult to put on her skatesC. she thought it might be too late to learnD. she felt both excited and scared3.

From the story, we know that the writer _____.A. wants to compete in the Olympic GamesB. will stick to figure skatingC. will give up figure skatingD. is 100-percent sure she will succeedDAY THREEHelp scientists make progressIf you think doing scientific research (研究) is only for great scientists like Newton or Einstein, you might be wrong.In fact, if you like to play with insects or take pictures of wild animals, you might be able to help scientists do research yourself!The Shanghai Natural History Museum recently made an app called “Find Nature (听见万物)”. The app’s users can upload (上传) photos, sounds and locations (位置) of frogs, birds and other animals they see around them. These data (数据) can be used by scientists to study biodiversity (生物多样性) and better protect animals that live in cities.The concept of having people take part in scientific research, no matter what their background is, is called “citizen science”. The tasks are often easy and fun, but at the same time, you can become a big part of scientific studies.Of course, citizen science is not only about frogs or birds. There are also projects(项目) about watching stars and clouds, counting (数) penguins, or listening to laughs (笑声). Citizen science shows us that science can be fun and is for everyone!What citizen scientists have doneDataGalaxy Zoo invites people to help classify (分类) large numbers of galaxies. It hasreceived 50 million classifications from more than 150,000 people!PapersWith the help of Cornell Lab citizen science data, more than 60 scientific papers have been written. The data used to write them has been collected by birdwatchers since1997.DiscoveriesFoldit is an online puzzle game (智力游戏) about protein-folding (蛋白质折叠). Its players helped find the structure of an enzyme (酶) from an AIDS-like virus (病毒) in just three weeks.Where can I find my own projects?There are many websites (网站) where you can look for cool citizen science projects. They include Zooniverse, SciStarter, iNaturalist, and others. Just type (输入) in keywords that you’re interested in and you’ll see many projects. Here are some examples.Whale Song ProjectHave you ever heard whales singing beautiful songs? Do you want to know what they are singing? The Whale Song Project invites you to listen to whale calls and help scientists study how whales communicate with each other.When you visit the site, you’llsee an image (图像) that stands for a whale sound. Click on it and you’ll hear the sound.Under the image, there are several smaller images. Listen to each one and see if any of them matches the first one you heard.Age GuessAge Guess is an online game where you guess the ages of other people by lookingat their pictures. You can also post your own photos and have other people guess yourage. In just a few minutes, you can help create (创造) research data for the study of human aging. The project studies the differences between how old you look to others and your real age.Answer the questions:1. How do people help scientists do research through Find Nature?_______________________________________2.What does the term “citizen science” mean?_______________________________________3. What does citizen science show us?_______________________________________4. What does the Whale Song Project study?_______________________________________5. How do people collect data for the project Age Guess?_______________________________________DAY FOURBack when our world was coldThese days, we often talk about global warming. In fact, the Earth was once the opposite (相反的事情) – it was cooling down instead of warming up. Scientists call this period the Ice Age (冰河时代). So far, Earth has gone through five Ice Ages. But how cold was this period? Was everything covered in ice and snow?According to a study by scientists at the University of Arizona, US, the average global temperature (全球温度) during the most recent Ice Age, which was about 20,000 years ago, was 7.8 C. This is about 6 degrees colder than today’s average temperature.You might just take off your T-shirt and put on a sweatshirt (运动衫) if thetemperature drops by 6 degrees. However, on a global scale (范围), this is a huge change.At the time, glaciers (冰川) covered about half of the Americas and Europe as well as many parts of Asia, according to Jessica Tierney, lead scientist of the study. The greatest cooling happened at higher latitudes (纬度). The Arctic (北极), for example, was about 14 degrees colder than today.Tierney said that past temperatures show us what really happens when the Earth cools or warms to a large degree (程度). It can help us know what to expect in the future.How did scientists find the average temperature?Scientists used ocean animal fossils (化石) and climate models (气候模型). The structures of fats from the fossils show changes in water temperature. Then they put this information into the models to get the global average temperature.1. The average global temperature today is about _____.A. 1.8 ℃B. 6 ℃C. 7.8 ℃D. 13.8 ℃2. When the average global temperature goes down, _____A. the temperature will drop by the same amount everywhereB. we wo n’t notice much of a change in temperatureC. all land will be covered with glaciersD. higher latitudes will experience greater changes3. Tierney thinks that _____.A. we can learn from past temperature changesB. we are about to go through a new Ice AgeC. we can do nothing to change global weatherD. we don’t have to worry about global warming4. What is the point of the story?A. Earth will cool down again in the future.B. Global warming isn’t a big problem.C. Earth has experienced cold periods before.D. The Ice Age is not over yet.DAY FIVEOnce upon a time, there lived a king named Minos. He ruled the island of Crete. He had a 1 monster called the Minotaur. The Minotaur lived in a maze (迷宫). He had the body of a man, but the head of a bull (公牛).Minos was a cruel (残忍的) king. 2 he was bored, he would fight the people of a nearby island called Athens. To 3 him, they made a deal. They would give seven boys and seven girls to the Minotaur each year as a sacrifice (献祭). Minos agreed.The prince of Athens, Theseus, was mad about this. He told his father to 4 him to Crete as the seventh boy, for he wanted to kill the Minotaur.When Minos’ daughter, Adriadne, saw Theseus arriving to be sacrificed, she wanted to 5 him. That morning, she 6 went to Theseus and gave him a sword (剑) and a ball of string (细绳).No one knew how to 7 the Minotaur’s maze. Minos threw the seven boys。

牛津译林版八年级上册英语期末复习：阅读理解专项练习题ⅠAEveryone needs friends. As the old saying goes, "Friendship is one mind in two bodies."But how can you find a real friendship and keep it? The Care and Keeping of Friends written by American author Nadine Bernard Westcott tells young students some smart ways to find friends.First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good fiend should do his or her best to help you. To make friends, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.But things cannot always be happy. Even best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, you can have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk with you, you may write a letter. Nadine says there are three steps about being friends again: tell him or her how you are feeling, say what you have done (已经做) wrong, and explain (解释) why you did this or that.The book also gives advice on some small but important things like celebrating your friend’s success (成功) .Even if you haven’t had a real fiend before, you will tart to think about having one if you read this book, because the book tells that friendship is the most important thing in your life.1.A good friend should ______ .A. have a lot of moneyB. be good-lookingC. be kind and patientD. be successful2.You can take ______ steps to fix a broken friendship.A.2B.3C.4D.53.

Have a fight with him or her.4.The writer of the passage really wants to tell us ______ .A. life is great if you have friendsB. an old sayingC. Nadine is an American writerD. what makes a good friendBI still remembered my first day of second grade. I walked into the classroom. No teacher yet. Girls were talking. Boys were trying to kill each other. I took some paper and a pencil, picked a desk, and went to work. Minutes later, a girl came over and sat on top of my desk. "What’re you doing?" she said. "Writing to 100," I replied."Is that you can do?" "No," I said. Then when I stand up from my seat to get my pencil sharpener, the desk fell over and hurt her leg.Her name was Jane. From that day on, she was my best fiend. Many years later, after college, I moved to California. Jane stayed in our hometown to be a social worker. We were friends for more than 50years. After her death seven years ago, I still think of her often, especially at the start of the school year.TV ads try to tell us what children need for school-new shoes, clothes, schoolbags.But rally, children’s needs are simple. They need the gift of friendship. For years, I feared how people saw me. But one day, I understood. I didn’t need to be smart or pretty or popular. I just needed to be kind.My grandson Henry recently finished his preschool and got a prize for "Friendship". Even an Olympic medal wouldn’t make me prouder!

It was very hard to answer these questions and few people could answer them correctly.Once, he asked a very strange question. None of his people knew the answer. At this moment, a man named Birbal came to the emperor. "May I ask what the question is?" Birbal asked. Akbar said, "How many crows are there in this city?" Birbal answered quickly, "There are 50,589crows,my lord.""How can you be so sure?" asked Akbar. Birbal said, "Make your man count, my lord. If you find a greater number of crows than I gave, it means some have come to visit their friends here. If you find a smaller number of crows, it means some have gone to visit their friends elsewhere."Akbar was very happy with Birbal’s answer. Some questions may seem quite difficult, but actually they are open-ended ones. We just have to think about them in a cleverer way, as Birbal did.1. Emperor Akbar liked to ______ .A. ask strange questionsB. talk with peopleC. make fun of peopleD. visit clever people2.The underlined word "correctly" means " ______ " in Chinese.A.正确地B.完整地C.清晰地D.乐意地3.

But you are not sure who would be friendly and let you sit with them.Natalie Hampton, an 1lth-grader from Sherman Oaks. Calif. designed a new app called Sit With Us. It makes finding friends in the school lunchroom very easy. The free app went online on Sep.9. Students can sign up as "ambassadors" (大使) for a club. Then they can post "open lunch" events to invite others to join in.Natalie got the idea to create the app after she ate alone every day in her old school. The experience (经历) made her feel sad and she was even bullied. She changed schools because of that.People may want to know why you don’t just ask to sit down. Natalie said the app stops kids from being rejected (被拒绝) in front of others."This way it’s very private. It’s through the phone. No one else has to know. And you know that going up to a table won’t end in rejection," she said.So far, the app works well."I had my first club meeting, and everyone was very excited. People are already posting open lunches at my school. So I’m very excited," Natalie said.6. Natalie Hampton made an app to solve the problem of ______ .A. having no idea when to have lunchB. having no friends to go out withC. feeling lonely without friends at schoolD. having no friends to have7.Natalie Hampton changed schools because ______ .A. she ate lunch alone and was bulliedB. she disliked the food in her old schoolC. she wanted to design a new appD. she has more friends in the new school8.What does the underlined word "private" mean in Chinese?A.直接的B.温和的C.私人的D.公开的9.

And one event made our visit seem truly magical.We got to the front of the line at Space Mountain, only to find out that our little daughter Gloria couldn't take her ice cream on the ride. We were so excited that we all forgot ice cream was not allowed on the ride.Gloria broke into tears and we all had no idea what to do. Then Murphy, one of the staff (员工) members, came over. She bent down and told Gloria that she would hold the ice cream for her and give it to her when she finished the ride. Gloria said, "Promise?" Then she gave Murphy her ice cream, and she completely enjoyed the ride. Sure enough, as we walked out of the exit, there was Gloria's new friend with "her" ice cream. Now you and I both know what happened, because we know that an ice cream won't last twenty minutes on a summer afternoon in Florida. Murphy knew what time we would get off the ride; she went to the nearest shop and bought a brand-new ice cream thirty seconds before we walked out of the exit. Gloria said "thank you", but I'm sure she thought it was the same ice cream.We know that someone tried hard to make our visit special. Thanks so much for going above and beyond!Your fan,Carmen Rivera1. The family visited the Magic Kingdom in ______ .A. springB. summerC. autumnD. winter2.

His name was Mr. Darling, and his wife's name was Mrs. Darling. They had three children. One day, all the children flew away.""It's a very good story," said Nibs."They flew away," Wendy went on, "to Neverland, where the lost children are. Now think of the feelings of the unhappy parents.""Ooh!" they all cried, though they did not really care."Think of the empty beds!""Ooh!""Is there a happy ending?" asked the second twin."Oh yes," said Wendy, "because a mother's love is great."Peter did not like this part."You see," Wendy went on, "the children knew that the mother would always leave the window open for her children to fly back in, so they stayed away for years and had a lovely time.""Did they ever go back?""Well, let us look into the future. We can see three adults (成年人) leaving London Station. They are walking to a house. Look! The window is till pen."Peter was looking at her seriously. "Wendy, you are wrong about mothers," he said.

It is also the first city in the US to join the "Lights Out Plan". Last month people turned off the lights in the city’s tall buildings so that thousands of birds could get to their winter homes.There areover9,000kinds of birds in the world,and about 600 kinds of birdsmigrate. Every year in autumn. some birds fly over Chicago on their way to the south,and come back the next spring. Birds migrate for several reasons. Many birds cannot live in the cold,so they fly to warmer places. But there are other reasons too. Birds need to find more food and have babies in the south. Many birds like to have their baby birds in the same"house"they lived in last year,so they fly back there.Usually birds find their way by looking at the stars in the sky at night. Lights in tall buildings are so bright that birds may mistake them for stars. Unluckily, this may make them lose their way. So Chicago decided to take action to help those poor birds. Turning off lights really gives birds a hand.1. Why did people in Chicago turn off their lights?A. Because they wanted to save money.B. Because they liked the dark night.C. Because they were afraid that birds would make much noise.D. Because they were afraid that birds would lose their way.2. What does the underlined word"migrate"mean in Chinese?A. 迁徙B. 定居C. 冬眠D. 重生3. The passage says that birds find their way by ______ .A. following the windB. looking at stars at nightC. remembering the cities on their wayD. looking at the lights in tall buildings4. Which of the following is NOT a reason for bird migration?A. They can’t live in cold winter.B. They need to find food in thesouth.C. They want to find their family members.D. They give birth to babies in the south.5. We probably read the passage in ______ .A. a storybookB. a history bookC. a newspaperD. a travelling bookBMany of us enjoy watching birds flying in the sky. But do you know they can teach us?Geese, for example, teach a very good lesson about teamwork. In the fall, Canada geese (加拿大黑雁) fly to the warm south to get away from Canada’s cold winter. They lift off in no order. Yet quickly they form (形成) a V shape with one bird leading the group.This V shape allows geese to save energy. When the lead bird moves its wings up and down, the resulting force of air lifts the next one. This continues down the line. The lead bird in front has the hardest job. When it gets tired i moves behind and another bird moves to the front. By sharing the role the group can travel great distances.During the long flying journey geese communicate with each other. They honk (鸣叫) from behind to encourage the birds up front to keep up the speed.What can we learn from the lovely geese’s experience and skills? ______6. Why do geese form a V shape while flying?A. To keep warmB. To save energy.C. To make them get tiredD. To get more food.7. Which bird in the picture works the hardest?A. aB. bC. cD. d8.

Every morning the farmer fed Bill in one corner and then fed Ben in another corner. This went on for many years. One day the farmer decided to do a little test. When the two donkeys were sleeping, the farmer tied a rope around Bill's neck. Then he tied the other end of the rope around Ben's neck. Hethen put some oats (donkeys' favourite food) in Bill's corner and in Ben's corner.When the two donkeys woke up, they were quite surprised to find a rope around their necks.

牛津译林版八年级英语上册阅读理解专项强化训练题含答案Most people think that they don't have the power to change the world. Do we have the power to impact (影响) other people in our lives? The 1946 US film It's A Wonderful Life tells us the answer. In the film, everyone has his or her own guardian (守护) angel. It starts with George Bailey, a man who has given up on his dream and wants to kill himself on Christmas Eve because of financial (财务的) difficulties. This draws the attention of his guardian angel, Clarence Odbody. The angel shows Bailey how different life would be for his family and his community if he wasn't around. When Bailey was 12, for example, his brother Harry fell through ice and Bailey jumped into the freezing (冰冻的) water to save him. If Bailey had not been there, Harry would have died and would never have become a war hero. This movie teaches people a lesson about the power of kindness. Bailey sacrifices (牺牲) a lot of things for the welfare (福利) of the town. He also tries to help people living in the townachieve (实现) their goal of having their own houses. Bailey's kindness is repaid in the end when almost everyone in the town comes and helps him through his troubles.1. Which film is the story about?______________________________________3. What did Clarence Odbody do to saveBailey?______________________________________4. What is Paragraph 3 mainly6. What can we learn from the film?______________________________________Huge squares, great buildings and countless treasures (珍宝) –the Forbidden City never fails to take its visitors' breath away. This year, theworld's largest wooden palace is 600 years old! Have you ever wondered who made this marvel (奇迹)? In 1406, when the Ming Emperor Yongle decided to move the country's capital from Nanjing to Beijing, he started to build a palace at the heart of Beijing. His vision 愿(景) was big. It took a million workers 14 years to finish it. Materials were sent from all over China to Beijing. Nanmu, the rarest of all Chinese woods, was used to make huge wooden pillars (柱子). It can only be found deep in forests over 1,800 km away from Beijing. Workers had to float (漂浮) the wood on rivers all the way north to Beijing. Stones were also transported to the palace. The heaviest stone in the Forbidden City weighs 250 tons. It was found 80 km west of Beijing. It was so heavy that people could only move it during winter. They poured water onto the road to create ice. Then thousands of workers pulled the stone on the ice to the palace. The project even changed the local landscape (地貌). While building a moat (护城河) around the palace, workers dug up soil and piled it on a hill north of the Forbidden City. That's where Jingshan (景山) came from.1. What can't we learn from Paragraph 3?A. How long it took to build the Forbidden City.B. Who decided to build the Forbidden City.C. Where the Forbidden City was built.D. How the Forbidden City got its name.2. Paragraph 4 mainly shows that _____.A. North China had few treesB. some building materials came from far awayC. Chinese people were hard-working in the pastD. river transportation started in ancient times3. Workers transported stones in winter because _____.A. the icy rivers helped them transport stonesB. winter is the best season to make carvingsC. stones are lighter when they're frozenD. they had to use ice to move the stones4. What do we know about Jingshan?A. It was built with soil from the palace.B. It was part of the Forbidden City.C. It was moved in order to build a moat.D. It was there before the Forbidden City.5. The process of building the Forbidden City was _____.A. simpleB. difficultC. smoothD. dangerousBurger pizza? Korean tacos (墨西哥卷饼)? These might sound a bit strange to you, but they're just some examples of what we call "fusion food" (无国界料理). Fusion foods are dishes that combine (结合) two or more different kinds of food into one dish. For example, the burger pizzahas a normal pizza crust (面饼), but instead of putting pepperoni (意大利香肠) and vegetables on top of the cheese, you add ground beef (like you would use to make a burger), ketchup, lettuce and tomato. Fusion restaurants are popular in a lot of big US cities. In fact, they are often seen as trendy (流行的), since they try to be creative when combining different foods. Fusion food usually combines dishes that are from different parts of the world. For example, Korean tacos are tortillas (墨西哥薄饼) that are filled with kimchi (韩国泡菜). There aren't many fusion restaurants in China yet. A person from Dongbei could probably never imagine combining their food with Sichuan dishes. However, I have tried kaoya pizza in Beijing. I have to say, it wasn't too bad!1. What is fusion food?A. A type of foreign food.B. A strangely-named food.C. A kind of smelly food.D. It is a combination of cuisines.2. Paragraph 2 shows an example of _____A. how to make a kaoya pizzaB. the writer's favorite fusion foodC. how fusion food is madeD. the most delicious fusion food3. What do we know about fusion food?A. Fusion restaurants are common in Mexico.B. Chinese people don't like to eat fusion food.C. It usually combines foods from different countries.D. People like fusion food because it is easy to cook.4. What might the writer think of fusion food?A. It is terrible.B. It is not too bad.C. It is not worth trying.D. It is tasty.In 1969, the US became the first country to put a man on the moon. Fifty-five years later, it is expecting to become the first to put a woman there as well. NASA recently said that its Artemis program (阿耳特弥斯计划) will send a woman to the moon in 2024. It will be a great achievement to send a woman to the moon for the first time. But what happens when women go into space? Can they handle it as well as －or maybe even better －than men? The answer is a little bit of both, according to Varsha Jain, who works closely with NASA. On one hand, women are more likely to feel sick when going into space －however, men are more likely to feel sick when returning Earth. Women tend to (倾向于) have blood pressure (血压) problems when they return to Earth, while men tend to have vision (视力) and hearing problems instead. These differences may come from their different hormonal balances (荷尔蒙平衡) or body changes. However, a specific (具体的) cause is still unknown. Women also have some advantages in space. For one thing, they tend to be smaller, which means they use less oxygen (氧气) and take up less space in small spacecraft. Also, women often have better communicationskills than men, which makes them better-suited (更适应) for long spaceflights.1. What do we know about the Artemis program?A. It put a human on the moon in 1969.B. It will send a woman to the moon.C. It will be the second time for us to visit the moon.D. It will take place 55 years from now.2. After returning from space, female astronauts _____.A. might feel sicker than menB. might have blood pressure problemsC. might have hearing problemsD. might have vision problems3.The advantages of sending women into space include _____.a. they use less oxygenb. they take up less spacec. they have better communication skillsd. they have higher hormone levels than menA. abc B. abd C. acd D. bcd4. From the story, we can learn that _____.A. women act similarly to men in spaceB. men are not suited to live on the moon C. women have some advantages when traveling in spaceD. women are better astronauts than menDay 5One day, a teacher entered his classroom, handed out test papers and asked his students to 1 .

They are in Yancheng，Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve（自然保护区）is in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes (丹顶鹤) in the world，but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Cranes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine，too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also stop flood(洪水). But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.( )1. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are in the _______ of China.A. eastB. southC. westD. north( )2.

An average(平均高度的) person, hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room.Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leaked(渗) into the room.On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof.

The solar system is a small part of our galaxy(星系).Scientists have also discovered many other galaxies in the universe. But they are a long way away because their light has travelled for many years to reach us.

The charitable organization for teenagers called Imperceptible Education held this activity. Students not only have to live, but they also have to deal with a lot of hard tasks. It has happened in eight cities and is going to four others, including Beijing, in June.To make money, many students looked for part-time jobs and saw how hard life was. Zhang Qiyue, 14, asked more than 10 restaurants for a job and finally got one chance. “We were sad when they said no. But gradually(逐渐地), we got used to it,” he said. After being a waiter for an hour, he got 25 yuan.Some made use of their talents by singing and dancing in parks or shopping malls. Many people who walked by took notice and helped them.

They went to different places to finish tasks in a short time. The most amazing one was when they had to exchange things worth thousands yuan with only a piece of paper in half an hour. “We learned how to persuade others.

牛津译林版八年级英语上册阅读理解专项强化训练题含答案Day 1Will we lose jobs?In science fiction films, we often see machines doing jobs that humans usually do. This is gradually coming true. By 2025, machines will do more work than humans, according to a new report. The World Economic Forum (WEF) report came out on Oct 21. It said that in the next five years, machines will take over about 85 million jobs. This means that machines will handle about half of all work tasks, almost twice as many as now, Quartz reported. Most of the jobs are either routine (程序性的) or manual (体力的) jobs in administration (行政) for white- and blue-collar (白领和蓝领) workers, WEF said. These include factory workers, accountants and mechanics (机修工). But there's not much reason to be worried. The report also shows that at the same time, 97 million new jobs will be created. New industries will be created as society changes and develops. Countries around the world are focusing on (专注于) areas like environmental protection, AI development and elderly care. This means there will be many new jobs for caretakers, big data specialists (专家), and cloud computing experts, the BBC reported. These jobs need humanskills such as advising, decision-making (决策), reasoning (推理) and communicating. "People need to learn new skills to deal with the change [in society]," the WEF pointed out.1. How many jobs do machines do now?A. 21.25 million jobs.B. 42.5 million jobs.C. 85 million jobs.D. 170 million jobs.2. Which job is most likely to be taken by machines in the future?A. Factory worker.B. Pianist. C. Scientist.D. Designer.3. According to the report, _____.A. people won't need to work in the futureB. there will be new jobs for humans in the futureC. people will compete with machines for the same jobsD. machines can work faster than humans4. The writer probably agrees that _____.A. there will not be enough jobs in the futureB. machines can still be improvedC. people should make careful use of machinesD. people should learn more new skillsDay 2Finding hope in dark times lifts us upWho stands for human civilization (文明) better than pianists? Wladyslaw Szpilman is a good example. The music he plays is beautiful, but his life isin danger. That's the story of Polish director Roman Polanski's 2002 film The Pianist. Based on an autobiographical (自传的) novel, it's the story of Jewish pianist Szpilman. He hears about the Nazi invasion (侵略) on the radio. He is eventually caught and sent to a death camp, but manages to escape (成功逃脱) and lives in the ruins (废墟) of Warsaw. When the city is bombed (被……轰炸), he is no longer able to find food. But one night, he finds a piano and plays it. German officer Wilm Hosenfeld hears him and is surprised at his talent. The pianist survives with the protection and help of the officer, who understands the beauty of music and the importance of saving it.

He is losing the solid (坚固的) ice that used to be his home and hunting ground. There has been a lot of bad news in recent years about how climate (气候) change has affected the Arctic (北极). This October, a group of scientists returned from a year-long Arctic expedition (远征). They had more bad news: all Arctic ice may disappear during the summer in just a few decades (十年). "This world is threatened. We really saw how the ice is disappearing," said Markus Rex, leader of the expedition. The temperature (温度) in the Arctic is 18 degrees higher than it was 125 years ago. Even at the North Pole, the coldest point in the Arctic, scientists found badly melted (融化的), thin ice. Polar bears are notthe only animals that are suffering. Animals like walruses (海象) and seals also depend on the ice to rest, give birth and raise babies. The loss of ice means the loss of their habitat (栖息地). Since there's now more rain, moss (苔藓) and grass are locked in ice instead of snow. Many reindeer (驯鹿) starve (挨饿) to death because they can't get to their food under the hard ice. According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the number of reindeer has dropped by 56 percent in the last 20 years. Melting sea ice is also opening the door for more human activity, such as shipping, traveling and fishing. This will disturb (扰乱) the area's environment and the Arctic would never be the same again.1. How is climate change affecting theArctic?______________________________________2.

What will happen in the Arctic if human activityincreases?______________________________________Day 4Racing to find a COVID cureScientists around the world have been racing to find a vaccine (疫苗) for the novel coronavirus as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. Some countries have started testing their vaccines, including China. The country now has 13 vaccine candidates (候选) in clinical trials (临床试验), according to China Daily. You might be wondering –how exactly do vaccines work? The answer is actually very simple. The first vaccine was found in 1796, when English doctor Edward Jenner exposed (暴露) a13-year-old boy to a small amount of the cowpox virus (牛痘病毒). Cowpox is a cousin of the deadlier disease smallpox (天花). Amazingly, the boy developed immunity (免疫力) to smallpox －and in 1798, the first smallpox vaccine was created. You see, when our bodies are exposed to small amounts of dead or weakened (削弱的) viruses, we create special cells called antibodies (抗体). If we're exposed to the same viruses later, our antibodies can kill them off, even if they're stronger. Since Jenner's discovery, we've come up with many vaccines, including those for chicken pox (水痘) and the flu (流感). However, developing a safe and useful vaccine takes time. Some vaccines simply don't work, while others have uncomfortable or even dangerous side effects (副作用).About 60,000 people in China have received COVID-19 trial vaccinations so far, according to CGTN. They have not reported any serious side effects. However, clinical trials must be finished before the vaccine is ready for more people.1. Paragraph 2 explains _____.A. how vaccines workB. what vaccines are made ofC. how the first vaccine was discoveredD. what kinds of vaccines we have today2. How do vaccines work?①The patient is exposed to small amounts of dead or weakened viruses.②The patient is exposed to the same virus later.③The patient's antibodies kill the virus off.④The patient's body creates antibodies.A. ①②③④B. ②①④③C. ②④①③D. ①④②③3.

From the story, we know that _____.A. every virus has a vaccineB. vaccine testing is easyC. the pandemic will be over soonD. vaccines are difficult to createDay 5The castle (城堡) of Prince Llywelyn stood in the Welsh (威尔士) mountains, next to a dark forest full of wild animals. Llywelyn led a happylife. There were 1 things that he loved most in the world: his wife, his baby son and his dog, Gelert. Gelert was a strong, brave(勇敢的) dog. Gelert loved the baby and slept under his bed to 2 him every night. One day, Llywelyn and his wife had to 3 the castle early in the morning. Llywelyn told the dog to 4 the baby while he was away.

牛津译林版八年级英语上册阅读理解专项强化训练题含答案Day 1Kids are getting too fatMore children in China are putting on weight. In 2018, 16 percent of Chinese children and teenagers were overweight or obese (肥胖的), according to the National Health Commission. Being too fat is bad for children's health. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), overweight and obese children are more likely to develop diseases like diabetes (糖尿病) at a younger age. This can lead to a higher chance of premature (过早的) death. On Oct 23, the National Health Commission, together with five other national departments (部门), worked out a plan to prevent and control obesity. The plan aims to cut the average annual (每年的) growth rate of obesity among children aged 0-18 years by 70 percent from 2020 to 2030, Xinhua reported. Kids are putting on weight because of changes in their diet and lifestyle, according to experts. Too much schoolwork and greater use of electronic devices (电子产品) could also be a cause. According to the plan, teachers should not allow their classes to run too late or too early. They should make sure that students have breaks and enough physical activity. Primary and secondary schoolstudents should have at least three hours of vigorous (剧烈的) physical activity each week. Parents should reduce their children's use of electronic devices and stop their children from eating foods that are high in sugar, fat and salt.1. Paragraph 2 is about _____.A. a recent WHO reportB. the causes of childhood obesityC. Chinese children's obesity rateD. the effects of being too fat2.

Action that China is taking to reduce childhood obesity.Day 2Victoria opens upOct 26 was a big day for people in Victoria, the second most populated state in Australia. Following a drop in new COVID-19 cases, the premier (州长) of Victoria lifted (撤销) one of the longest lockdowns in the world –nearly five months. Starting from Oct 28, we were allowed to leave our homes and go back to normal. The premier even shared a happy face with a doughnut (甜甜圈) on Facebook. Restaurants and bars were quickly filled. Stores were crowded with shoppers. And we were no longer stuck in our homes. The funniest part was that there was a long line in front of every barbershop. All of the men whose hair had been growing wildly for months were finally able to get a haircut. They could say goodbye to their sloppy selves (邋遢的自己). Last weekend, I went out to meet up with my friend. As we held hands and walked past eachfamiliar (熟悉的) store, I felt like the past months had been a dream. But something did change. We put on weight, menus were changed and hand sanitizer (洗手液) was everywhere. They reminded us that the world had been turned upside-down (天翻地覆) in 2020. We deserve to celebrate a bit, but we still need to be careful, as the virus is still spreading. All we can do is to recover (恢复) from it and live with it.1. Why was Oct 26 a big day for people inVictoria?______________________________________2. How long did Victoria's lockdown last?_______________________________________3. What did people in Victoria do after the lockdown waslifted?_______________________________________4. Why were there long lines in front of barbershops?_______________________________________5. How did the writer feel after going out with herfriend?_______________________________________6. What does the writer remind us about at the end of herstory?_______________________________________Day 3Recess and lunch are our big breaksAs a Chinese student, you probably have morning exercises at school each day. We don't have this in US schools. I found out about this cultural difference the first day I was in China. My first apartment (公寓) was right next to an elementary school (小学) and I saw the students doing their morning exercises. In the US, however, only elementary (from kindergarten to 4th grade) and middle school (5th –6th grade) students have exercise time like this. We call it "recess (课间休息)". It's a short daily play period (30 to 45 minutes) where we can play on the playground. My friends and I would play kickball (美式足垒球) and build forts (堡垒) out of big tree branches (树枝) that we found in the woods next to our playground. And in winter, we would sled down (乘雪橇滑下) a big icy hill behind our school. In junior high (7th –8th grade) and high school (9th –12th grade), things are different. We have to move between many different classrooms, as each subject has a different teacher and a different classroom. We have a few minutes between each class to get our books and chat a bit –but only a few minutes. We're in class almost the entire (全部的) time we're at school. Except for (除了) our one big break –lunch. Junior high and high school students get as much as an hour, sometimes even a little more, to eat and hang out. In my school, older students (grades 11 and 12) were even allowed to go off-campus (离开学校) for meals. Those who had driver's licenses and cars could drivearound our town, listening to music and eating fast food. It was a fun break in the middle of those long school days.1. What did the writer learn just after moving to China? A. Students do morning exercises at school.B. Students have long breaks between classes.C. Chinese kids are good at sports.D. Chinese kids like to do morning exercises.2. Paragraph 2 is mainly about _____.A. why the writer liked recess as a childB. what recess in the US is likeC. how US students do their morning exercisesD. what the writer's favorite exercise is3. In the US, students in grades 7 to 12 don't have recess because _____.A. they have little time between classesB. they are no more interested in exercisingC. they have to do homework during their breaksD. they can exercise during PE class instead4. From the last paragraph, we know that _____.A. US students have their lunch at schoolB. US students don't eat much during lunchC. the older students get, the busier they areD. high school students get a long lunch breakDay 4Is anybody out there?When you look into the night sky, you might not think that there's someone out there looking right back at you. But a new study says that there are more than 1,000 stars (恒星) in direct (直接的) line of sight to Earth that might have life. That is to say, life on the planets that orbit (绕轨道运行) these stars would also be able to see our planet. There might be aliens watching us! Lisa Kaltenegger, the lead author (主要作者) of the study, said we can see some of these stars from right here on Earth without telescopes (望远镜). Kaltenegger found that there are about 1,000 stars that are not only close enough for us to see, but also have some of the same qualities (特质) as our own sun. For now, we have no idea if there really is life on the planets that orbit these stars. However,researchers will be able to start scanning (扫描) the atmospheres (大气) of these planets with the help of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope next year. The scans could turn up signs (迹象) of life on these planets. "Ifwe're looking for intelligent life (智慧生物) in the universe that could find us and might want to get in touch, we've just created the star map of where we should look first," Kaltenegger said.1. Which of the following is TRUE?A. There are aliens in outer space.B. There are over 1,000 stars that directly face Earth.C. We cannot see any stars without telescopes.D. There is life on the planets that orbit some stars.2. Life might exist on planets near some of the stars because _____.A. the stars are similar to our sunB. the stars are close to EarthC. we can see the stars without telescopesD. the stars have similar atmospheres to Earth3. To see if there is life on other planets, scientists _____.A. will send spacecraft to find signs of lifeB. will use a telescope to scan for signs of lifeC. will scan the atmospheres of the starsD. will help NASA invent new telescopes4. What do we know from the last paragraph?A. It's important to look for life in space.B. We need to create a star map for the whole universe.C. There must be intelligent life in the universe.D. The stars we've discovered might help us find life in space.Day 5More than 700 years ago, Scotland was fighting with England. The King of England wanted to control Scotland. He had a strong army (军队), so it was 1 for the Scots to fight back. Scotland lost many battles. Eventually, King Robert of Scotland had to 2 from the English army. One rainy day, King Robert 3 in a cave (洞穴). He thought that he was not good enough to be the king. He was so 4 that he didn't even see the spider near him. He looked up when he saw the spider climbing. It was trying to climb up to its web (蛛网) at the top of the cave, but it 5 . "How sad!" thought King Robert. "The spider is like me. It's not strong enough." He watched while the spider 6 again. It fell down a second time. "Be careful, little spider," he said. "Life is so hard. You'll 7 get back to your web." But the spider tried again and again. King Robert watched while it slowly climbed back to its web. After an hour, the spider 8 the web. "You are really great," the king said. "If you can keep trying, I can too. I must carry on fighting."Then the king's army grew stronger and successfully 9 the English army. Nobody knows if this is a true story.

Everybody in the United States uses this word again and again every day and everywhere. You pick up the phone and the first word you hear is “hello!” You meet a friend in the street and the first word you say is “hello!”Where did the word come from? The American inventor(发明家), Thomas Edison, was the first person to use “hello” in the late 18th century soon after the invention of the telephone.At first people greeted each other on the phone with “Are you there?” They were not sure the new thing could really carry voices. But Tomas Edison never wasted time. The first time he picked up the phone, he did not ask if anyone was in. He was sure someone was there, and he simply said “hello!” From then on, the word “hello” became widely used in American.46. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A.

The underlined word “simply” means ________.A. oftenB. easilyC. alwaysD. only(B)A wise man was visiting a village with his students. He found a group of family members shouting in anger at each other. He turned to his students and asked: “Why do people shout in anger at each other?”His students thought for a while, and one of them said: “Because when we lose our calm, we shout.”“But, why should you shout when the other person is just next to you? You can just as well tell him what you have to say in a soft manner,” said the wise man.Students gave some other answers but none were any good.“When two people are angry at each other, their hearts become distanced(疏远的),” the wise man explained. “To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the louder they will have to shout to hear each other and cover that great distance.”The wise man then gave an example: “What happens when two people fall in love? They don’t shout at each other but talk softly because their hearts are very close. When they love each other even more, what happens? They don’t need to talk. They only look at each other and that’s all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.”He looked at his students and said: “So when you argue, do not let your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance you from others. Otherwise, there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.”51.

When we argue, don’t let hearts become distant.(C)Hi, everybody! I’m Max, now I'm studying in an international school in Canada. Students here also spend much time on homework. How difficult the homework is depends on (取决于) what subject you are learning.For English, we usually put together presentations(展示). I will look for some information on the Internet. For example, I’m working on a one-minute presentation about recent Canadian news.I read about lots of news, and I will choose one thing to write about. Doing presentations is a good way to practice speaking skills and build confidence(自信). I still feel shy talking in front of many people. But my English has really become better.For geography and history, we usually do paper work and make posters. It takes a lot of time. We spent about a month on one article last year. We had to make outlines (提纲) and write out the main ideas. Our teacher fixed them and then we could start to write. For the posters, you can print or draw them. Last week, our teacher asked us to make a poster about our sense of place. So weput two pictures of our favorite places and wrote 10 words to describe them.Science was very hard for me at first. And it took me an hour to read three pages. But as I learn more and more words, I understand it better. Even if I don’t understand all the words, I can mostly guess what it is saying. So I get faster and faster at doing my homework.No matter what homework you get, just try your best.56. What decides the difficulty of students’ homework according to the passage?A. The teachers.B.
