常州地区八年级上学期期中英语试卷分类汇编任务型阅读新北区实验学校Many of us pay little attention to the importance of eye care. It is said that if you take care of your body, then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in a number one place.There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not enough food, genes(基因) and aging(变老). Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you work in front of the computer, it is best to take a break every once in a while. Something dirty can cause redness and they will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes, too. If this happens, you’d better clean your eyes with cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example, sunglasses are not just for fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UV rays.Eating healthy foods will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because exercise protects your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.All above are natural ways of eye care that help us keep healthy eyes. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is.53.paying 54.Causes / Reasons 55. healthily 56. red 57.care钟楼区清潭中学Let me give you some useful advice( 建议).

第二十五中If you think you're too shy and want to be a little bit braver, try the following. You can make it.There's no need to hide it. When they get to know you are a shy kid, they'll understand you better. This also helps you feel freer in talks.When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. Remember that other people have feelings too and most people will stay away from an angry-looking face.If you find it hard to start talks, say something nice about people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something good to you. Doesn't it make you want to keep talking to that person?Get your attention(注意) elsewhere. Think more about ways to enjoy the party or the game. Don't waste(浪费) time worrying about your looks or whether (是否)people like you or not.Each time after you say "hi" or smile at someone for the first time, say to yourself "I did it"! Or it could be something bigger, like buying yourself an ice cream.Keep trying and one day you'll never be "shy" when you talk to others.hide; like; great; worry / care; yourself;教育学院附属中学We all dream about things that we would like to do and things we hope to achieve in the future. But are everybody’s dreams the same? Here are some of the findings of a survey about hopes and dreams, in which thousands of students across China took part.What are the hopes of teenagers? We received several different answers to the question: what would you like to do after finishing your education? It seems some students would like to start work as soon as possible, so that they can help offer better lives to their parents. Other students would like to continue studying after finishing school and to go to university. Although money is important, many teenagers said they want to do jobs they enjoy. According to the survey, the most popular choice of job is computer programming.What are the dreams of teenagers? Teenagers have all kinds of dreams. Some are more realistic(现实的)than others. For example, many students said they would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup, maybe working as translators or tour guides（导游）. And quite a few said they dream of going to the moon one day.According to the survey, less realistic dreams are also common, but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve（实现）their dreams. Quite a few dream of becoming famous, perhaps famous sports people or singers. Some said they’d like to go on exciting trips; one student said she’d love to sail across the Pacific Ocean. And then there are dreams that there is no possibility for students to achiev e. Three students said they’d like to be able to fly!It was clear from the survey that teenagers have similar(相似的) hopes. It seems that most students hope to have a good education and find a good job. On the other hand, students dream of very different things: good things, and even crazy things. It is very important to dream, so hold on your dreams; one day they may just come true.阅读短文并根据短文内容完成表格。
江苏省常州地区2017-2019年上学期八年级英语期中试卷分类汇编：阅读理解(含答案)
常州地区八年级上学期期中英语试卷分类汇编阅读理解新北区实验学校AYou may have seen photos and videos of broken windows, falling trees and heavy rain on the internet. They were caused by Typhoon Mangkhut (台风山竹), the strongest typhoon to hit China this year.On Sept 15, Mangkhut landed on the coast (海岸) of Jiangmen in Guangdong province, with wind speeds of 162 kilometers per hour. Till Sept 18, five people were killed and over 1.6 millionwell.One of the causes of all the powerful storms this year may be climate change. Hurricanes(飓风) and typhoons are actually the same thing –they are both tropical cyclones(热带气旋). Temperature(温度) changes cause them to form on the sea.Because of global(全球）warming, ocean temperatures are rising and tropical cyclones are forming with more energy and strength. Experts say that strong storms like these ones will become more common in future, the South China Morning Post said.43. The underlined word “evacuate” in the passage means “_________” in Chinese.A. 逃跑B.死亡C. 撤离D. 受伤44. What’s the fundamental (根本) cause of Typhoon Mangkhut?A. Tropical cyclones.B. Global warming.C. Temperature changes.D. Hurricanes.45. We can read this passage most probably(可能) in a _________.A. magazineB. newspaperC. novelD. videoBIn 1976, Steve Jobs and his friend Steve Wozniak started AppleComputers. When Steve got his first order, he didn't have enough moneyto buy parts to make the computers.But Steve came up with an idea. He went to an electronic(电子的)supply store. He persuaded(说服) the store to give him the parts to make thecomputers. Steve couldn't pay for the parts right then. But he promised to pay the store back later. Steve was very good at persuading people to do what he asked. The store said yes.Each Apple computer cost $220 to make. Each Apple computer was sold to the electronics store for $500. So even after Steve and Woz paid back the electronic supply store, they made a very big profit(利润).Steve and Woz knew they could do better. What if they made a computer that came witheverything, so a person could just take it out of the box and use it right away? He and Woz got to work on making such a computer — Apple II.Woz and Steve wanted to make the most beautiful computer in the world. At the time, plastic was much more expensive than metal or wood. But Steve thought plastic looked cool and modern. And how a computer looked was important. If it looked good, people would want it.46. What was the problem of Steve Jobs?A. He couldn't sell his expensive computers.B. He didn't have money to start a company.C. He couldn't find a store to buy computer parts.D. He didn't have money to buy computer parts.47. We can infer(推断) from the passage that _________.A. Steve Jobs was good at communicating(沟通)B. Steve Jobs was good at borrowingmoneyC. the store owner was a friend of Steve JobsD. the store owner didn't get the moneyback48. How did Jobs and Wozniak feel about the Apple II?A. Don’t believe it.B. A little surprised.C. A little worried.D. Trust it.CWhat subject do you worry about the most at school? Many students worry about math. Some students c an’t sleep well the day before a math exam. Others may feel very nervous during the exam itself. But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful(有压力的).That’s right — sitting up straight can help you do better on math exams.Scientists tested 125 college students. They asked them to do a simple math text while sitting in a slumped-over (趴倒的) position, or sitting up straight. After the test, 56％of students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight.Slumping over is a defensive posture(防御姿势). It can cause negative (消极的) memories in the body and brain. This can stop you from thinking clearly, Peper said.Students who were good at math did not necessarily benefit(有益于) from better posture. But they did find that doing math while slumped over was more difficult, Science Daily reported.Good posture isn’t just helpful for taking math exams. Players, musicians and public speakers can all benefit from better posture. When you feel worried, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more positive(积极的) and do better.49. What posture(姿势) can make people feel less stressed during math exams?A. Lying on your back.B. Putting your head on your desk.C. Sitting up straight.D. Raising one hand.50. What did the 125 college students do while they were taking the exam?A. Doing sit-ups.B. Sitting in different positions.C. Thinking carefully.D. Counting numbers.51. What can we learn from the fifth paragraph ?A. Slumping over is more difficult for many students.B. Everyone should benefit from better posture in math exams.C. Good students should slump over when they have math exams.D. Different postures mean different results of the same math exam.52. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Sit up to do mathB. Slump overC. Nervous studentsD. Feel more positive43-45 CBB 46-48 DAD 49-52 CBDA钟楼区清潭中学（A）Shlander is a man from space(太空). He thinks the people and things on the earth are very strange.

They were caused by Typhoon Mangkhut (台风山竹), the strongest typhoon to hit China this year.On Sept 15, Mangkhut landed on the coast (海岸) of Jiangmen in Guangdong province, with wind speeds of 162 kilometers per hour. Till Sept 18, five people were killed and over 1.6 millionwell.One of the causes of all the powerful storms this year may be climate change. Hurricanes(飓风) and typhoons are actually the same thing –they are both tropical cyclones(热带气旋). Temperature(温度) changes cause them to form on the sea.Because of global(全球）warming, ocean temperatures are rising and tropical cyclones are forming with more energy and strength. Experts say that strong storms like these ones will become more common in future, the South China Morning Post said.43. The underlined word “evacuate” in the passage means “_________” in Chinese.A. 逃跑B.死亡C. 撤离D. 受伤44. What’s the fundamental (根本) cause of Typhoon Mangkhut?A. Tropical cyclones.B. Global warming.C. Temperature changes.D. Hurricanes.45. We can read this passage most probably(可能) in a _________.A. magazineB. newspaperC. novelD. videoBIn 1976, Steve Jobs and his friend Steve Wozniak started AppleComputers. When Steve got his first order, he didn't have enough moneyto buy parts to make the computers.But Steve came up with an idea. He went to an electronic(电子的)supply store. He persuaded(说服) the store to give him the parts to make thecomputers. Steve couldn't pay for the parts right then. But he promised to pay the store back later. Steve was very good at persuading people to do what he asked. The store said yes.Each Apple computer cost $220 to make. Each Apple computer was sold to the electronics store for $500. So even after Steve and Woz paid back the electronic supply store, they made a very big profit(利润).Steve and Woz knew they could do better. What if they made a computer that came witheverything, so a person could just take it out of the box and use it right away? He and Woz got to work on making such a computer — Apple II.Woz and Steve wanted to make the most beautiful computer in the world. At the time, plastic was much more expensive than metal or wood. But Steve thought plastic looked cool and modern. And how a computer looked was important. If it looked good, people would want it.46. What was the problem of Steve Jobs?A. He couldn't sell his expensive computers.B. He didn't have money to start a company.C. He couldn't find a store to buy computer parts.D. He didn't have money to buy computer parts.47. We can infer(推断) from the passage that _________.A. Steve Jobs was good at communicating(沟通)B. Steve Jobs was good at borrowingmoneyC. the store owner was a friend of Steve JobsD. the store owner didn't get the moneyback48. How did Jobs and Wozniak feel about the Apple II?A. Don’t believe it.B. A little surprised.C. A little worried.D. Trust it.CWhat subject do you worry about the most at school? Many students worry about math. Some students can’t sleep well the day before a math exam. Others may feel very nervous during the exam itself. But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful(有压力的).That’s right — sitting up straight can help you do better on math exams.Scientists tested 125 college students. They asked them to do a simple math text while sitting in a slumped-over (趴倒的) position, or sitting up straight. After the test, 56％of students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight.Slumping over is a defensive posture(防御姿势). It can cause negative (消极的) memories in the body and brain. This can stop you from thinking clearly, Peper said.Students who were good at math did not necessarily benefit(有益于) from better posture. But they did find that doing math while slumped over was more difficult, Science Daily reported.Good posture isn’t just helpful for taking math exams. Players, musicians and public speakers can all benefit from better posture. When you feel worried, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more positive(积极的) and do better.49. What posture(姿势) can make people feel less stressed during math exams?A. Lying on your back.B. Putting your head on your desk.C. Sitting up straight.D. Raising one hand.50. What did the 125 college students do while they were taking the exam?A. Doing sit-ups.B. Sitting in different positions.C. Thinking carefully.D.

Suddenly, your friend's nose starts to bleed(流血).What would you do? Would you panic(惊慌失措)? Or would you do something to help your friendIn daily life, we run into emergencies(突发事件，紧急状况)now and then. Nosebleeds are just one kind of emergency. But if you learn some basic first aid(急救)skills, you can help people during emergencies and maybe even save their lives.The second Saturday of September is World First Aid Day, which fell on Sept 8 this year. Right now is a good time for us to learn more about first aid.First aid, as its name tells us, refers to the first step you can take to care for someone who's injured(受伤的).It includes keeping them safe and staying calm. It also includes asking for help.Every year in China, 3.2 million people die in emergencies. That's an average of six people per minute. Expects say that the first 10 minutes after an accident can make the difference between life and death. This is why it's important for us to learn first aid.CPR(心肺复苏)is one of the most useful first aid skills. It can help people who've suffered cardiac arrest(心脏骤停).But if you want to perform CPR, you need to learn how to do it properly. You can take courses offered by the Red Cross Society or some hospitals.78. When is World First Aid Day?79. What should we do when someone is injured?80.
