Place a piece of raw carrot in your mouth and chew. Then, as you are still chewing, let go of your nose.

All the other hundreds of tastes come from how foods smell to you.Foods give off invisible ( 无形的 )fumes (烟，气）that breathe into your nasal, passages (鼻道） .The olfactory ( 嗅觉的） or smelling nerves ( 嗅感神经 ) react to these fumes and you become aware of (意识到） the specific smell of these foods.When you have a cold, however, your nasal passages are clogged ( 阻塞 ,填满） with mucus (黏液 ).Your sense of smell is cut off ， just as it is when you hold your nose.When you can’ t smell the foods you eat, it becomes hard to tell them apart.()1.“ Let go of your nose” means ______.A. take your nose awayB. release your hold of noseC. nose aroundD. nose something out()2.

This is because the number of people living on Earth is nearly six billion ( 十亿 ). All ofthese people need food, space and energy. As a result, lots of Earth ’naturals resources will beused up. When we destroy our earth to get natural resources such as wood or oil, animals oftenlose their living space. They cannot have enough food, and they will get hurt or die.The World Wide Fund for Nature(WWF) is an international charity. It tries to preventhumans from destroying more of nature than is necessary. For example, in China WWF isworking with the local government to reconnect (重新连接) some small lakes in Anhui Provinceto the Yangtze River and to create( 创造 ) more protected areas so that China’ s natural beauty will not be lost in the future. WWF works in more than 50 countries, saving rainforests and stoppinghunters from killing rare animals and protecting traditional ways of life in areas where they are indanger of being lost. WWF’ s main goal is to encourage development that does not harm theenvironment and the animals that live in it. Even though the charity is known all over the world,and a lot of people support the goals of WWF, not so many donate money often. This makes itdifficult for the charity to do all the things it wants to do.1.Why has over 30% of the natural world been destroyed?A.Because hunters are killing rare animals.B.Because not enough people help WWF.C.Because WWF does not have enough money.D.Because there are so many people living on Earth.2.How has WWF helped in China?A.They have protected traditional ways of life.B.

牛津译林版八年级下英语期末考试专题练习—阅读理解
牛津译林版八年级下英语期末考试专题练习一阅读理解(1)Did you know that each day one pers on in the US throws away 4.4 pounds of rubbish? Almost every mon th, we throw away our own rubbish in packagi ng alone. Packagi ng ( in cludi ng boxes, bags, etc) comes to our homes with the things we have bought. Several weeks ago, the TV n ews said that i n a city in Italy, tons of rubbish were piled up in the streets, and the smell was rather terrible. What can we do to help? We should get to know the followi ng Rs.To reduce means to make less rubbish That is one of the first things we all should do for the environment. Reduce your rubbish by doing things like packing your lunch in reusable containers( 可再利用的容器)，taking smaller poti ons(份)at dinner so you don't waste food whe n you have had eno ugh, writ ing on both sides of paper, and using less water whe n tak ing a shower.To reuse is to use things aga in. Think about the bags you get from the store. They can be reused to carry your lunch, to hold your rubbish, or to collect used cans. You can even take them back to the store the next time to carry your things in stead of gett ing a new bag!Recycli ng is an importa nt part of keep ing our pla net clea n and gree n. It can also save en ergy. Be sure that youdon't throw things in the rubbish that can be recycled to make something else. Paper, plastic, cans and bottles can all be recycled, but food, electrical waste and mobile phones can't. When you are not sure whether someth ing can be recycled, go to your pare nts and teachers for advice.Follow the three Rs, and every one of us can do something to save the Earth. It is also the best way to save ourselves.( )1. The first paragraph of the passage implies(暗示)that _________ .A. packagi ng should be give n upB. Italy is too dirty for us to visitC. the US produces most rubbishD. the Earth is becoming dirtier( )2. The writer seems to ask people to reuse the bags ________A. only as rubbish bagsB. only for carry ing other thingsC. mainly to have a clea ner worldD. mainly to save some money( )3. Which of the follow ing can be recycled?A. Food and bottles.B. Books and n ewspapers.C. Paper and mobile phon es.D. Plastic and electrical waste.( )4. The passage mainly tells us that _________A. all useless thi ngs can be recycledB. the environment is greatly improv ingC. the three Rs can help us clean the EarthD. we should n ever throw any rubbish away(2)Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-ha nded, so the scie ntists guessed that right -ha nded ness has always bee n com mon through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world ' s populat-bandedtWhy are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person ' s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with thin gs. This is because of the differe nt work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person ' s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The leftide of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-ha nded, and studies have found that left-ha nded ness is twice as com mon among artists as among people in other jobs.No one really knows what makes a pers on become right-ha nded in stead of left-ha nded. Scien tists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-ha nded because their main brain is damaged whe n they are born. However, this does n ' t happe n to every one, so scie ntists guess there must be ano ther reason why people become lean ded. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene( 基因)for right-handedness, he/ she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.Though right-ha nded ness is more com mon tha n left-ha nded ness, people no Ion ger think left-ha nded people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don ' t have to. ( )1. How many people in the world are left-ha nded now?A. Less tha n one sixth.B. More tha n a half.C. About 40%D. The passage doesn ' t tell us.( )2.Which of the follow ing has the closest meaning to the un derl ined word “ damaged” in this passaA. kn ockedB. cha ngedC. brokeD. harmed( )3. Accord ing to the passage, which of the followi ng is NOT true?A. No one really knows what makes a pers on become right-ha nded.B. Left-ha nded ness is cleverer tha n right-ha nded ness.C. Today childre n are not made to use their right hands only.D. Scien tists thi nk there must be some reas on why people become left-ha nded.( )4. The best title for this passage is ______ .A. Scien tists ' New Inven ti onsB. Left-ha nded PeopleC. Which Ha ndD. Differe nt Brai ns, Differe nt Hands（3）It is believed in some ways that the daughter is father's lover. But my experie nee has taught me in a differe nt way. For a long time, my father has been a very vague figure（模糊形象）to me. He was a man of few words , tall but slim and nothing else.When I was in primary school, my father was never there to pick me up, and he never came to any of my pare nt-teacher meeti ngs. He was always busy doing projects. I remember whe n I was in middle school and my head was badly hurt in a PE class. During my operatio n , my father was no where to be found. This hurt me most. At that mome nt, I thought my father was a cold-blooded man who did not care about me at all.But things seemed different at my high school graduation ceremony（毕业典礼）where I was chosen to represent my class and give a speech. My father, once aga in , told me he had a bus in ess trip in a place outside the city and would be un able to show up（露面）"Don't come. I will be n ervous if I see you. " I told him.I remember my speech went smoothly. After the ceremony was over and I was about to leave , I suddenly noticed a familiar looking man sitting in a corner of the hall. It was my father ! I was so surprised that I rushed to him with tears running dow n my face. "Well done. " he said. His eyes were also filled with tears.Later, I found out that my father had man aged to finish his work by stay ing up late, and he drove for eight hours to get back. He had bee n sitt ing in the corner because he did n't want me to see him. My father remembered every word in my speech.For much of my life , I described my father was a cold-blooded man who only cared about his work. But when I thought deeply about this , it was obviously（明显地）not true. At my graduation ceremony , I could feel my father's deep love. The fact is that seeing is not believing, and seeing may not be the fact if we don't perceive（感知）the world with our hearts and min ds. There's no doubt（疑问）that life does n't lack（缺少）love, but sometimes our eyes have trouble see ing it.（）1. Which of the followi ng is TRUE accord ing to the passage?A. The writer's father was in the hospital during her operation.B. The writer's father atte nded her high school graduati on cere mony.C. The writer's father sometimes picked her up when she was in primary school.D. The writer's father went to pare nt-teacher meeti ngs whe n she was in primary school.（）2. The writer rushed to her father with tears running dow n her face mainly because _______A. she gave a speech successfullyB. the graduati on ceremony was overC. she was so nervous that she could n't help cryingD. she was happy to find her father cared about her（）3. What does the underlined word "this" in the last paragraph refer to（指代）?A. That my father was always doing projects.B. That my father was a cold-blooded man.C. That my father sat in the corner of the hall.D. That my father's eyes were filled with tears.（）4. What's the best title of the passage?A. My busy father.B. Life is full of love.C. Seeing is not believi ng.D. A won derful speech.(4)Overweight(超重)is one of the biggest health problems now. Being overweight affects more than how you look.Too much fat can kill you. What's worse, overweight children turn into overweight adults( 成人).If you're obese now, you probably will grow into an obese adult. But here's good n ews. You can fight overweight.Change your eat ing habits.You are what you eat, Kids like sn acks. Did you list any healthy sn acks? One study of eati ng habits showed that soft drinks are the first in the snack list. Next, kids choose salty snacks, like chips. What's more, the list is full of junk food from No. 3 to No. 11. Fin ally, No. 12 , kids picked a healthy sn ack-fruit. So, think about your sn ack choice aga in.Get outside to exerciseJim, a player on his school football team, had a weight problem not long time ago. He could never get anyone to play with him. So his father and he started play ing football for a few minu tes every ni ght. Ten minu tes tur ned into anhour or more. In just a few years, the heavy kid became athletic, fit and healthy.More TV mea ns more fatNearly every America n kid watches TV for 2 hours and 56 minu tes every day that adds up to 44 days a year of sitti ng. More TV (or more Internet surfi ng, or more computer games) means more fat.Eat an apple a day, walk around the house, play with your family... Do it today, and do it more tomorrow. It will help you a lot. ( )1. According to the passage, kids put ____ at the end of the snack list in one study of eating habits.A. chipsB. ice creamC. fruitD. soft drinks( )2.

Vegetaria ns usually have lower levels of heart disease, and studies have also shown that they have a lower risk of diabetes(糖尿病)than people who eat meat. However, most people don't realize that a vegetarian diet produces less pollution to the earth.Researchers from the Union of Concerned Scien tists in the US recen tly studied how people affect the environment. The study showed that eati ng meat is one of the main ways that huma ns can cha nge the en vir onment, sec ond only to the use of motor vehicle.Then, how can eating meat have a negative effect on the environment? For a start, all farm animals such as cows, pigs, and sheep give off methane gas(沼气)by breathing. One cow can produce up to 60 liters of methane each day. Metha ne gas is the sec ond most com mon gree nhouse gas after carb on dioxide. Many environmen tal experts now believe that it is more resp on sible for global warmi ng tha n carb on dioxide. It is estimated that 25% of all metha ne released into the air comes from farm ani mals.Ano ther way that meat producti on affects the environment is through the use of water and land. 2,500 gall ons of water are n eeded to produce one pound of beef while only 20 gallo ns of water are n eeded to produce one pound of wheat. One acre of farmla nd used for crop product ion can produce 40,000 pounds of potatoes, 30,000 pounds of carrots, or 50,000 pounds of tomatoes, however, one acre of farmla nd used for rais ing cows can produce just 250 pounds of beef.Many people now see the ben efits of a vegetaria n diet, not just for health reas ons, but also because jt plays an important role in protecting the environment. However, some nutritionists advise against switching to a totally strict vegetaria n, or vega n diet. They believe a vega n diet, which excludes( 拒绝)all products from ani mal sources, such as cheese, eggs, and milk, can be short of many n ecessary vitam ins and min erals our bodies n eed.Today, many people know that it is importa nt to take better care of their bodies, and to use the earth's resources more efficiently. As this understanding spreads, more people may realize that to help the environment and for the human race to survive, more of us will n eed to become vegetaria n.( )1. The un derl ined word "vegetaria n" in the first paragraph most probably means " _____ ".A. a pers on who eats healthy foodB. a pers on who eats meat and vegetablesC. a pers on who only eats meat, fish and seafoodD. a person who only eats vegetables, grains, and fruit( )2. It's ________ for a vegetarian to have diabetes than a person who eats meat.A. more possibleB. less possibleC. highly possibleD. impossible( )3. Which of the stateme nt is TRUE accordi ng to the article?A. Doctors suggest switch ing to totally vegetaria n diets.B. It takes more water and land to produce a kilo of crops.C. Farm ani mals give off metha ne gas and pollute the environment.D. Carbon dioxide is more responsible for global warming than methane gas.( )4. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 5 refers to " ______ ".A. a vegetaria n dietB. an imal sourceC. n ecessary vitam inD. health reas on( )5. The main idea of the article is that _________A. our diet is destro ying the surro undingsB. raisi ng farm an imals affects the environmentC. a vegetaria n diet helps to protect the en vir onmentD. more and more people are beco ming strict vegetaria ns(6)When I was nine years old, I wrote my first poem. My mother read the little poem and cried. "Buddy, it's a beautiful, beautiful poem! " My mother poured out her praise."What time will father be home?" I asked. I could hardly wait to show himmy poem. My father had begu n hismovie career as a writer. He would be able to appreciate(欣赏)my poem eve nmoretha n my mother. Icon fide ntly put thepoem right on my father's plate on the dining table.My mother said he would be home around 7. But my father got home an hourlater tha n expected.He sat dow n atthe table and no ticed his plate. "What is this?" I heard him say."Ben, Buddy has written his first poem. And it's beautiful, so amazing! " Mother said."If you don't mind, I'd like to decide that for myself, " Father said.I kept my face lowered to my plate. It was only 10 lines long. But it seemed to take hours. "I think it's bad, " my father said. I could n't look up. My eyes were gett ing wet."Ben, sometimes I don't understand you," my mother was saying. "This is just a little boy. He needs en courageme nt.""I don't know why," my father held his groun d. "Isn't there eno ugh bad poetry( 诗歌)in the world already? No law says Buddy has to become a poet."I ran from the dining room, threw myself on the bed and cried.A few mon ths later, I read that first poem. It was a bad poem. I worked up the courage to show him a short story. My father thought it was not good but hopeful. I was lear ning to rewrite.As I worked my way into other books and plays and films, I realized how lucky I was to have a mother who said, "Buddy, it's won derful!

Russia has 20,000 to35,000 wildfires every year. Australia has on average 60,000 each year. These fires destroy（损害）huge areas of forests and burn hundreds of homes.Many experts believe there are several reasons for this sudden increase in fires. The first reason is climate（气候）change. Recent weather has been warmer and drier. This leads to dangerous fire conditions. When lightening strikes（发生雷电）,dry grass easily catches fire. Hot winds add to the problem. The wind spreads a fire quickly .In 2010, Russia had the hottest and driest summer in a century. In just one month ，500 fires destroyed over 2,000 homes. Some people lost their lives.Traditional fire-fighting practices are another reason for the increase in fires. In America, firefighters used to quickly put out every fire. They didn't allow the grass and trees to burn. As a result, today many forests have thicker vegetation（植被）.Thicker vegetation means more fuel（燃料）for fires. Also, without fires from time to time, forests become overcrowded and unhealthy. Some trees are dead. The dead wood then easily catches fire. So surprisingly, America has many more fires today partly because of its past fire-fighting practices,Scientists now understand that a fire can be a natural part of a healthy forest. As a result, countries like Australia allow more fires to burn naturally. Sometimes, firefighters even start fires to get rid of（去除）dead wood. Of course, they carefully control the fires. The fire thins out old trees. This allows sunlight to reach the ground. As a result, fires help new trees to grow. Therefore, if a fire is not a serious threat（威月办）to people, firefighters may let it burn naturally. （）1.Why did Russia have so many fires in one month in 2010?A. Because lightening spread the fire.B. Because there was much fuel for fires.C. Because there were not enough firefighters.D. Because it was unusually hot, dry and windy.（）2. What happens because of the traditional fire-fighting practices in the USA?A. There are fewer wildfires.B. Trees and grass become thicker.C. The weather becomes warmer and drier.D. Sunlight reaches the ground to help forests.（）3. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?A. Fires are serious threats to human beings.B. Australian firefighters don't put out fires.C. Fires can play an important role in forests.D. 1t's difficult for firefighters to control the fires.（）4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Not all the fires in the forests must be put out.B. People's carelessness leads to dangerous fires.C. Australia allows all the fires to burn naturally.D. There are more fires in Russia than in the USA.Parking lots again came up for discussion in Shanghai. Another 220, 000 private cars will hit the roads this year, and the n eed to buy a car is still very high among people. More tha n 270,000 cars have no desig nated( 指定)park ing areas at night. In a middle school in Changing District, trees were cut in a green area to make way for car parking. The school had not con sidered car park ing(8)whe n it was being built,A private car is used about an hour daily for driving and stays parked for 23 hours. Many private cars are used even less. Car-sharing offers users all kinds of cars. The cars are parked in car-sharing stations, lying throughout the city. Customers of car-shari ng can book(预定)a car at any time ( day or ni ght) by teleph one or on the Intern et. The customer then picks the booked car up at the set time. After finishing his/her bus in ess, they return the car to the same place where they picked it up. Maybe, this is one way to solve the car park ing problem.On the other hand, the idea of Park & Ride has bee n suggested. This means that un dergro und train and city train should be developed quickly. You can leave your cars in car parks nearby subway and bus stations and then you can ride public tran sports to go to the city centre within minu tes —great in wet weather or whe n you're carry ing heavy bags. Park & Ride services can save you a little more time to do something you enjoy: catch up on e-mails, chat with friends, read the paper or simply relax, and prepare for the day ahead. Then the city will cut dow n the nu mber of park ing lots in the city cen tre.( )1. Why does the writer mention what the middle school did in Paragraph 1?A. To say car park ing has bee n a problem for along time.B. To show the car park ing problem is beco ming more serious.C. To warm the middle school did n't care about en viro nment.D. To tell people to lear n from the school for more park ing areas.( )2. How does the writer like the car-shari ng service?A. Expe nsive.B. OK.C. Not possible.D. Not convenient.( )3. Accord ing to the text, private cars ________ .A. are not useful at allB. are not used very ofte nC. are resp on sible for the city train developme ntD. help drivers reach the city centre more quickly( )4. According to the idea of Park & Ride, we can infer( 推断)the city will have to ___________A. build more park ing lots n ear subway and bus stopsB. offer more cars to the customers in the city centreC. en courage people not to drive cars to the cityD. ask people not to buy more cars(9)Coun tless people long to make a differe nee this holiday seas on, yet they don't realize that opport un ities to make a differe nee are everywhere. Here are some ideas to get you started.Organize a blank driveIt is cold outside, but imag ine how thousa nds of homeless people may feel without a home of their own, or eve n a blanket to keep them from the cold. Organize a blank drive for your local homeless, and ask around for donations!Practice random acts of kindnessni n ever. forget the time whe n I went to pay for my Dr Pepper, but the server resisted, say ing my bill was paid by an anonym ous (匿名的)guest. It's this random act of kindn ess that restores my faith in huma nity. Bless some one by pay ing for their drink at Starbucks, or prais ing them! If you live somewhere where it sno ws, shovel your n eighbour's snow out of their driveway for them! Whether it is as simple as praise or as complex as paying the bill, you'll never know how far your impact will reach.Say thank-youJust a simple thank-you can make somebody's day, especially if they feel like their work is never noticed. Cultivate(培养)a smile on their face by being sincere and grateful for all that they do.Use your talents to help the communityThe best way to show your appreciati on for people is by using the tale nts and skills you have to bless others. For me, I love to coord in ate( 协调)eve nts and write, and so my way of reach ing out to the com munity is through writ ing articles and creat ing aware ness about problems we face today. If you can bake, make some delicious cookies for people to enjoy! If you can kn it, put your tale nts to use by making clothes for childre n in foster care. Any tale nt can be used to help the com munity in meanin gful ways.Wish you a happy, healthy and helpful holiday seas on.( )1.

Make the Best of Tale ntC. Enjoy Your Holiday Seas onD. Help Others in NeedIt is widely agreed that the cover-use of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil has caused serious environmental problems. Scientists are trying to find new clean energies that do not pollute the air, the water or the gro und. Solar power is one of them.Solar power is a kind of electricity which is produced by tak ing en ergy from the sun, using solar pan els. The solar pan els are(10usually fixed on the roofs of houses and buildi ngs. It is the family solar power system. Some coun tries areeven begi nning to build solar power pla nts by sett ing thousa nds of solar pan els in the places where there is eno ugh sunshine. Solar power has many adva ntages. The power is easy to get and will n ever be used up. When ever it is sunny, there is the power. The power is clean and renewable. It helps to reduce waste and pollution, which is great for the environment. In the areas that are too far away to send electricity to or not easy to build electric power plants, solar power is especially n ecessary. It en ables the people there to use lights, TVs, computers, wash ing mach in es, fridges andmany other thin gs.Therefore, more and more countries, such as China, the USA, Japan and India, encourage scientists todevelop practical tech no logy to put solar power to use. However, the power is not as widely as used as expected.One of the challe nges is that a solar power system n eeds sun shi ne. Coun tries or areas with a lot of rain, like the UK, are not suitable to develop such power systems. Secondly, a solar power plant requires a very large site to fix eno ugh solar pan els to collect sun light and cha nge it into electricity. Maybe an area in the desert would be one of the perfect places for such a pla nt to build. What's more, solar pan els are expe nsive at prese nt thought the en ergy itself does n't cost anything.Today scie ntists are work ing hard to develop more practical and cheaper solar power systems. Maybe one day solar power will be one of the most importa nt clea n en ergies in our life.( )1.

牛津英语8B期末复习之阅读理解提优训练阅读理解1New data coming out recently shows that over half of Chinese students have experienced hair loss problems during their university years. According to a survey by China Youth Network, nearly 56% of respondents from 643 colleges across the country said they were experiencing hair loss.Reasons for the trouble can be many. Some doctors believed staying up late, long-time mobile phone use and to much junk food were main causes. Huge pressure from work and school could also lead to receding hairlines (后退的发际线) .Today, baldness is becoming increasingly common among university students in China. A report earlier found that 250 million Chinese were troubled by hair loss. Most of them were aged between 20 and 40. Among this population, men were160 million. That’s nearly 23 percent of Chinese men. And many of them started to deal with hair loss at 30, twenty years earlier than the generation before. “Many people around me worry about hair loss,” said a college student in Beijing. Yet she believes that many young people do not actually meet baldness. Instead, they use the words as a way to joke about their stressful lives.According to the American Hair Loss Association, going bald is now a global problem. It says that 66 percent of US people started to lose their hair before the age of 35.1.If 1000 college students are surveyed by China Youth Network, how many of them are probably having hair loss trouble?A.

But in fact, many kinds of bats have very good eyesight.Besides eyes, bats also use their ears to help guide themselves when they fly in the dark. So how is it possible for bats to use their ears to help them “see”?Bats fly around hunting for insects at night. Catching flying insects in the dark is a bit challenging, but bats have developed a special way to help them get right directions and catch insects.When hunting for insects, bats use the power of echoes. They send out sounds from their mouths and noses as they fly. As those sounds bounce off objects in front of them, such as trees or insects, bats hear the echoes that return.Bats’ brains are able to find out how long it takes an echo to return. According to the time of the echo’s return, bats can tell where the object is, how big it is and what direction it’s moving in.Do you know?1. Bats are the only mammals that can fly, and they spend much of their lives hanging upside down.2. Since bats are usually only active at night, their wings and faces have long been connected with scary caves and houses. However, most kinds of bats are completely harmless to human beings.3. The brown bat is the most common kind of bat. A brown bat can eat up to 1,200 mosquitoes in an hour. A group of Mexican free-tailed bats can eat up to30,000 pounds of insects in a single night.1. In general, bats mainly find flying insects in the dark with ______ .A. their earsB. their eyesC. their wingsD. their nose2. What is the closest meaning of the underlined word “bounce” in Paragraph 4?A. hitB. returnC. goD. send3. The underlined word “it” refers to ______ in Paragraph 5.A. a batB. a bat’s brainC. the objectD. the echo4. From the passage, we can infer ______ .A. all kinds of bats may kill 1,200 mosquitoes in an hourB. there are lots of mammals that can flyC. most kinds of bats are dangerousD. bats have very clever brains5. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The scientific knowledge about bats.B. Some misunderstandings about bats.C. Bats’ secret of hunting food and life habits.D. The reason why people use the phrase “as blind as a bat”.阅读理解3Why do so many students hate or fear math?I think this has something to do with students’ role in math classes. Students seldom think they are in the classroom to discover the beauty of math. Instead, they think they are there to perform. From an early age, students realize math is different from other subjects. In many schools, math is more about answering questions than learning.Educators know how to improve the situation. In perfect math-learning environments, students work on difficult but interesting problems. They try a new idea, fail and then try another new idea. They receive positive messages about their unlimited potential. Students with a”growth”mindset believe their ability is not”fixed”. They know failure is a natural part of learning. These students perform at higher levels in math and in life. Unluckily, most students today don’t get the chance to see math as a”growth subject”. They have to work on closed questions. There is no room for failure. Many students finally say to themselves, “I m not a math person.”And, math looks more like a speed race than any other subject. Teachers usuallytake answers from the first student who raises his or her hand. Math tests are timed. No wonder students who think slowly and deeply often hate or fear math.Schools should encourage teachers to open up math. In this way, math becomes a learning subject, instead of a performance subject. Teachers should ask questions that have many solutions. They should give students the chance to discuss different ideas. They should also encourage students to ask questions that have never been asked.When teachers set students free, the beauty of math follows. More children will fall in love with this subject.1. The writer thinks many students hate or fear math because ______ .A. most math questions aren’t allowed to askB. the math textbooks in school are too difficultC. their teachers don’t understand the beauty of mathD. slow and deep thinking isn’t encouraged in math classes2. Students who perform at higher levels in math are those who ______ .A. think slowly and deeplyB. are the first to put up their hands in classC. have realized they have unlimited potential in mathD. can see the differences between math and other subjects3. In the writer’s opinion, math teachers should ______ .A. ask questions that only have one solutionB. help their students solve difficult questionsC. let their students see their potential in mathD. encourage their students to find out different solutions4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Most children are born to fear math.B. Educators know how to help students love math.C. A good math question shouldn’t have only one solution.D. Difficult questions can help students become interested in math.阅读理解4In the United States, one name is closely connected with movies. What is it? Hollywood, of course! But have you ever heard of the name Bollywood?Bollywood is the Indian Hindi-language film industry based in Mumbai. It is also known as Hindi Cinema. The name “Bollywood” is clearly a play on the word “Hollywood”. The “B” comes from the Indian city of Bombay, which is now called Mumbai.The word “Bollywood” is often incorrectly used to mean the whole of Indian cinema. However, Bollywood is only a part of Indian cinema, which also includes several other production centers. These centers produce films in many different languages.The name Bollywood became popular in the 1970s. But Indian filmmaking began long before that. Today, people think of Bollywood as a style of film. When they hear the name, they think of movies that feature exotic musical numbers.Modern Bollywood films are called “masala films”. Masala is a Hindi word that means “spice mixture”. Masala films freely mix action, comedy, romance, drama, melodrama, etc. , along with musical numbers.The movie industry is one of India’s most profitable industries.

He didn’t realize that he had invented a puzzle until he scrambled the cube and then tried to restore it.Rubik called his invention the”Magic Cube”. In 1979, he allowed Ideal Toys, a US company, to produce the puzzle. The company renamed the puzzle as”Rubik’s Cube”and began to sell it in 1980.The puzzle was a quick success worldwide. Over 350 million Rubik’s Cubes have been sold since 1980. One out of every seven people in the world has played with a Rubik’s Cube.The Rubik’s Cube is till a popular puzzle today.

Britons have been worried about the problem in the past few months.Two reasons lie behind the future water shortages. The first one is population growth. It is predicted that the population of the UK will have increased to 75 million by 2050. This will certainly cause stress on resources such as water and energy. On average, a person uses 150 liters of water a day. Much of this is water wastage. It is common to see people leave the tap (水龙头) running while brushing their teeth. The other reason is climate change. The UK might get hotter and drier in the near future. This could reduce water supplies by 10 to 15 percent and then cause drought across the country.Charities said that we could all reduce our daily water usage to 100 liters every day. Suggestions include taking shorter showers and choosing a well-used flush toilet. However, what a person can do is limited.Perhaps many Britons have forgotten the days when water was scarce. “I remember the 1976 drought,” says Adrian Butler, a senior teacher at Imperial College London. ”Many people, thankfully, have no idea of having to get your water from a standpipe in the street. But once you’ve been through that, you will realize water is really valuable. It is something that we have a collective responsibility for.” We can all take care to avoid wasting water.1. When will the UK probably face serious water shortages?A. In about 20 years.B. By the year 2050.C. In 100 years.D. In 2020.2. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. How the growth of population will affect water supplies.B. How climate change will cause drought all over the UK.C. Why it is difficult for Britons to save water every day.D. Why the UK will not have enough water in 25 years.3. The underlined word “scarce” probably means “ ______ ” in the last paragraph.A. dirtyB. clean C valuable D. expensive4. According to the passage, which of the following is RIGHT about saving water?A. We needn’t take a long shower.B. We can’t brush our teeth every day.C. It’s boring to introduce standpipe systems.D. It’s a waste of money to choose flush toilets.5. We can infer ______ from the passage.A. Britons are not satisfied with the standpipe in the UKB. Adrian Butler clearly remembers the 1976 drought in the UKC. James Bevan is confident about solving the water shortages in the UKD. the British government hasn’t taken action to deal with water shortages in the UK阅读理解9Have you heard of parallel universes? Some scientists believe that there might be other universes right alongside ours. Our universe may be just a part of a tree of universes that are all there at the same time—only in different states of time with different pasts and different futures.What does this mean?It means there is a different”you”in these parallel universes. You might be a Hollywood star in one of them!In parallel universes, there may be completely different physical laws. World wars might have different results. Really, humans themselves might have become extinct in certain parallel universes!The idea of parallel universes dates back to 1954. Hugh Everett ①, a Princeton University student in the United States, developed the idea that parallel universes—exactly like and related to our universe—are there. However, many physicists and astronomers say that this theory can’t be tested, so it’s not really a theory at all.But since then, the idea has shown up in comic books, television and movies. Shows like Star Trek and Doctor Who use the idea to develop their stories.Parallel universes might not only be there in the movies. If their stories are true, some people might have already experienced other realities.First covered by newspapers in 1952, Cornelio Closa, a schoolboy from the Philippines, kept disappearing right in front of his friends and family. Sometimes disappearing for days, he would somehow disappear from his locked family home and crowded school classroom.While such stories may sound crazy, even the known universe is far older and larger than we are. So, who’s to say that one day we won’t learn to cross dimensions?1. What are parallel universes?A. Everyone lives in two universes.B. Other universes are right beside ours.C. They are past universes and future universes.D. Different countries are different universes.2. The idea of parallel universes was thought up by ______ .A. a physicistB. an astronomerC. a Hollywood starD. a university student3. After the idea of parallel universes started to appear, ______ .A. it was thought to be a theoryB. it showed up in comic bookC. it was experienced by some peopleD. it was considered to cause humans to die out4. Cornelio Closa’s story tells us parallel universes ______ .A. are really thereB. will be our homeC. have killed some peopleD. can make a person disappear5. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The idea of parallel universes appeared a century ago.B. Star Trek and Doctor Who is a book about parallel universes.C. You may see another”you”in parallel universes.D. We will travel to another parallel universe.阅读理解10Who is the oldest man in the world? Where is the world’s highest waterfall? To find the answers, you can check the Guinness Book of World Records.The idea of the book came from a British man named Sir Hugh Beaver. He and his friends once argued about which European game bird was the fastest. They failed to find the answer in any book. Later, the twins Norris and Ross McWhirter were invited to write a book of facts and figures. It was called Guinness Book of World Records. Neither of them knew that the book would become an all-time bestseller.Since it fist came out in 1955, more than 100 million copies of the book have been sold in almost 40 languages, and a new edition comes out every year.Many people have tried to get into the book. There are over 50,000 applications from about 174 countries every year, according to the Guinness organization.Anyone who thinks he or she has a very special skill or talent can apply for aGuinness record. After that, Guinness judges will evaluate their application. After many rounds of research and check, they will finally send them an official Guinness World Records certificate!The person who holds the most Guinness records is Ashrita Furman from the US. Furman has held nearly 131 records, including the record for holding the most Guinness records.But there are some records that Guinness won’t accept. For example, they do not accept any activity that could harm people or animals.1. We know “______”about the Guinness Book of World Records.A. its first edition came out 65 years agoB. its writer is Sir Hugh Beaver from BritainC. over 50, 000 records get into the book every yearD. i came out because of an argument between a pair of twins2. What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?A. How strict it is to get into the Guinness records.B. How a person comes into the Guinness records.C. Why a person wants to go into the Guinness records.D. Why there is a certificate in the Guinness records.3. The person who holds the most Guinness records comes from ______ .A China B. Britain C. America D. Russia4.

The person who holds the most Guinness World Records.阅读理解11Do you take your own shopping bag with you when you go shopping? Most people don’t. It’s easier to just ask for a plastic bag when you’re checking out. But the truth is that most of these bags will end up in the ocean, killing wildlife and even ending up in the seafood that we eat.Plastic pollution has become a major problem around the world. China creates about 59 million tons of plastic waste each year, while the US creates about 37 million tons, according to a 2018 scientific report.But two sisters from Bali are doing their part to stop this from happening. They started a global campaign called Bye Bye Plastic Bags (BBPB) . Its members encourage people to use fewer plastic bags. They also advise local leaders in their area to ban the bags.Melati Wijsen, 17, and her sister Isabel, 15, started BBPB in 2013 after learning about great leaders like Nelson Mandela and Lady Diana in school. They asked themselves, “What can we do as children living in Bali, now, to make a difference?”The Wijsen sisters have spoken to 20,000young people about the dangers of plastic. They also created two educational booklets for primary schools in Indonesia.They are crazy about their work, especially when it comes to protecting Bali. Their hard work pushed officials in Bali to make the island refuse plastic bags by 2018.The sisters have no plans to stop any time soon. Though they know there will bedifficulties along the way, they think their hard work will pay off. “Were not telling you it’s going to be easy. We’re telling you it’ going to be worth it,” Isabel said.1. What does the first paragraph talk about?A. How to go shopping.B. The dangers of plastic bags.C. The bad condition of the ocean.D.

The sisters Melati Wijsen and Isabel think “______ ” about their campaign.A. it hasn’t been planned very wellB. it isn’t easy for them to controlC. It is difficult to do but meaningfulD. it is going to be easier in the future阅读理解12I want to design a special notebook. The cover can be printed with a bird-eye-view photo of our school building. From this view, the building looks like the Chinese character”兴”, which means we have the responsibility to help our country develop. This notebook is for taking notes. It encourages us to work hard.Yang Aixuan, 15I will design a badge for my school. I want the school badge to be green and white. These are the colors of our classroom buildings. My school badge will also have a gold apple on it. It stands for the idea that hard work always pays off Whenever we see this badge, we will be encouraged to study hard.Zhao Yirui, 14I will design a sports T-shirt because our school encourages us to exercise more. The shirt can be red, like our love for sports. The front of the T-shirt can be printed with different images. For example, it can show soccer players scoring a goal or runners sweating. Students can choose different images based on their favorite sports.Peng Jiqi, 15I go to a boarding school. I use my suitcase every week. I would design a suitcase to show my love for my school. There would be a big tree printed on the suitcase. Under the tree would be four wheels that look like four round apples. Our school, like the tree, gives us all the”nutrition”we need to become better students. We are like the apples.Zhang Hong, 131.

2023-2024年八年级英语牛津译林版下册期末复习专题（六）阅读理解专练（一）We are told to pay attention to what our mothers tell us. Most of us enjoys listening to our speak. Scientists have found that compared to other people's voices, our brains greatly prefer the voices of our own mothers.Scientists at Stanford University, US, recently studied this. They scanned (扫描) children's brains while they were listening to different sounds, including their mothers' voices. They found that 97 percent of the time, children could recognize their mothers' voices at once.Hearing their mothers' voices makes children's brains more active. We usually just use one part of our brain to deal with sounds when we hear something. But when we hear our mothers voices, many parts of the brain, including those in charge of (负责) reward (奖赏) and emotion (情感). start to work as well.Why do we respond so strongly to our mothers' voices? It starts even before we're born. When children are still in the womb (子宫) or have just been born, they hear their mothers talking. This makes babies feel comfortable and teaches them language and social skills, even though they are still very young. The babies learn to recognize their mothers' voices as a rewarding (奖励性的）sound. Later, when this sound is heard again, more attention is paid to it.Some sounds are necessary for our survival or bring us pleasure. These sounds are recognized by our brains as rewarding sounds. Most human voices are not recognized in this way, since we hear them so often. But mothers' voices are different. They bring us a lot of comfort.（1）Which sentence is true according to the passage?A．Mothers prefer the sounds from their children.B．97% of the children could recognize their mothers' voice at once.C．The babies learn to recognize their mothers' voice as a survival sound.D．When we hear our mothers' voice, many parts of the brain start to work as well.（2）According to paragraph 4, why do we response so strongly to our mothers' voices?A．Because we can get love from the voicesB．Because we can get a reward from the voicesC．Because their voice make us fell comfortableD．Because we can recognize their voices quickly（3）What is the story mainly about?A．How we recognize our mothers' voicesB．Why we prefer to hear our mothers' voicesC．How we respond to different kinds of soundsD．Why we should listen carefully to our mothers（二）What's wrong with your computer?Will you feel helpless if your home computer breaks down?

Chen was aboard China's Shenzhou-11 manned space mission in 2016 and once held the record for longest stay in space bya Chinese astronaut. Liu became the first ever Chinese woman in space in 2012 on the Shenzhou-9 mission. And this will be Cai's first mission in space. The team will live and work at the Tiangong Space Station's Tianhe core module (核心仓) for six months before returning to Earth. It marks a new step in China's space program.Six months is the standard mission duration (标准任务期限) for many countries—but it is an important chance for Chinese astronauts to be accustomed to a long-term stay in space and help prepare future astronauts to do the same.Six space missions have been scheduled (规划) before the end of the year, including another manned mission, two laboratory modules and two cargo missions.The team aboard Shenzhou-14 will help with the docking, setting up and testing of the two laboratory modules Wentian and Mengtian, which are ready to launch in July and October this year.8．The three astronauts will come back to the earth thisA．July B．October C．November D．December 9．What does the underlined phrase "be accustomed to" mean in Paragraph 4?A．适应B．完善C．总结D．享受10．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．It was Chen Dong's second time to get into space.B．Mengtian will be launched earlier than Wentian this year.C．Six more space missions will be scheduled after Shenzhou-14.D．All the international astronauts should work in space for 6months.11．Which can be the best title for the passage?A．China's new space stationB．A new step in China's space programC．Great Chinese astronautsD．Another successful moon landing mission（四）It has troubled almost anyone thinking carefully about a word for some time. Think about the word "flower". F-l-o-w-e-r. Flowers. The flower in the field. The flower in the grass. Flower. Flower. Flower.F-l-o-w-e-r?!① _______ Did the word just break into pieces before your eyes, become strange and unable to understand, or some meaningless letters? If so, what just happened to you is nothing new, In fact. the phenomenon (现象) was first described in The American Journal of Psychology in 1907;""Ifa word is looked at carefully for some time, it will be found to become strange and foreign. …"Or, as Urban Dictionary describes the situation: "When you say a word so much, it starts to sound strange"① __________Over the years, this phenomenon has got many different names, but the best known one is semantic satiation (语义饱和) . Leon James, a professor of psychology at the University of Hawaii's firstly used it in 1962. James did many experiments to find out how semantic satiation affects (影响) thinking.①_________ It's a kind of mental fatigue (心理疲劳) , he said. When a brain gets started, it takes more energy to start the second time, and still more the third time. And finally, it won't even answer until you wait a few seconds for the fourth time. "This gave me an idea: If you keep saying a word, the meaning in the word keeps being repeated, and then it becomes more difficult to understand when you continue to pay attention to it."①________ Some new medical research showed that it could be used to treat steering (口吃). Businessmen have begun rethinking their ways of selling. One example is "Double Eleven.

Putonghua (or Mandarin) the predominant dialect, is spoken by over 70% of the population and is one of the 6 official languages of the United Nations. Within these large dialect groups, there are small groups, many of which are difficult to understand. In Fujian, for example, people living 10 kilometres away from one another can be speaking different Min dialects.Putonghua. It is the mother dialect of Chinese living in northern China and Sichuan Province. It is called Guoyu in some parts of China, like Hong Kong, Macao (澳门) and Taiwan. It is known in English as Mandarin Chinese, or Standard Chinese.Wu. Spoken in Shanghai, most of Zhejiang and the southern parts of Jiangsu and Anhui.

The team from China was also there. This championship took place during the days of Cold War, so the American and the Chinese players didn't even talk to each other.Glen Cowan, form the US team, didn't like this situation. One day, he saw a Chinese player and invited him to play. They played together for 15 minutes, and Cowan missed the US bus back to the hotel.Then, something surprising happened. One of the Chinese players waved to Cowan from the Chinese bus. He thought for a moment and then he got on the bus. But the Chinese players didn't talk to him. Suddenly, Zhuang Zedong, three times world champion, came up to Cowan. "What are you doing?" said the other Chinese players. "Don't talk to him! Don't make trouble!" Zedong gave Cowan a silk scarf. "I give you this to show the friendship of the Chinese people to the American people," he said through a translator. Cowan wanted to give something back, but he didn't have anything with him.Then the bus arrived at the hotel. There were lots of reporters — it was big news to see an American and a Chinese player together. Later, Cowan bought a T-shirt with a peace flag on it, and he gave it to Zedong. The two men became friends.In the same year, the US team got an invitation to visit China, and in February 1972, USPresident Richard Nixon went to China on a historic visit.

Ask some people and most of them will say yes. "Pay-for-knowledge" has been more and more fashionable these years. The contents of these "pay-for-knowledge" products are from language learning to gardening or baby-caring. Everything you think of can be found online at this moment. "Pay-for-knowledge" is on the rise(兴起).Why is "pay-for-knowledge" industry developing so rapidly? First, its development is based on the Internet. With a fast network and a smartphone, anyone who has passed the identity (身份) check can be an online teacher, and anyone with an online account (帐户) canbuy "pay-for-knowledge" products. Second, people are afraid to miss any information. On one hand, people hope for more useful information. On the other hand, such information is usually at the hands of experts who serve famous companies and universities. Moreover, the need to learn new skills in today's job market also pushes people to learn on such educational podcasts.The industry of "pay-for-knowledge" has proved to be lucrative. It promises possibilities of turning information into money. It is good for the development of our country and it can help sellers make lots of money. Besides, buyers can enjoy self-growth from it. What's more, this is a reflection(反映)of respect for knowledge and talents.However, the rapid rise of "pay-for-knowledge" has a few problems. For one thing, the market is full of eye-catching words such as "How to be an Industry's Expert in 5 Hours" and "15 Classes to Be a Master of Appreciating(欣赏) Classical Music", which sound like if you pay for it, you are sure to succeed. For another, a large number of customers buy them just for showing off. In fact, those who have really had self-growth after buying online courses may be the kind of people who need them least. In other words, with or without these courses, they can make it anyway, because they are those who have the ability to learn by themselves.In general, the best is the one that suits you most. "Pay-for-knowledge" may be used as a good start for self-growth. Be careful! Otherwise, your dream of success may not come true. 26．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．"Pay-for-knowledge" products can help all the people succeed.B．"Pay-for-knowledge" products can offer people different kinds of courses.C．People who can teach themselves need "pay-for-knowledge" products most.D．People must learn from experts who serve famous companies and universities. 27．Which is NOT the reason for "pay-for-knowledge" industry developing so rapidly?A．The fast network and smartphone make it possible for people to get.B．People are afraid to miss any useful information.C．People need to learn new skills in today's job market.D．People are forced to pay for educational podcasts or live videos.28．What can we learn about "pay-for-knowledge" industry from Paragraph 2?A．The history of its rise.B．The problems of its products.C．The advantages of its products.D．The causes of its rise.29．The underlined phrase "be lucrative" in Paragraph 3 means "________".A．produce lots of money B．get much informationC．win great respect D．enjoy self-growth30．The main purpose of this passage is to ________.A．recommend the "pay-for-knowledge" products to peopleB．advise everyone to learn knowledge by themselves onlineC．remind people to choose "pay-for-knowledge" products wiselyD．teach parents how to buy some online courses for their children（九）Carlos, Marie and their three-year-old little brother Mosh had some free time before dinner. There was a TV show about fire safety, so they watched it. The show was about to end when Mrs. Garza said, "Wash your hands. It's time for dinner."Carlos could hardly wait to surprise his dad with the cake he and Marie made. As soon as dinner was over, Carlos and Marie stood up. "Excuse us," Carlos said. "We'll be back in a minute."The two kids went into the kitchen. Carlos put lots of candles on the cake. After Marie lit (点燃) the candles, Carlos carried the cake to the table. He put it in front of his dad and said, "Happy birthday, Dad. Make a wish and blow out the candles."Just then Mosh took a bottle (瓶) of water and poured it on the cake. The candles went out. Mr. Garza quickly cleared the table."Mosh, you ruined (毁坏) Dad's cake," Carlos cried. "Fires on birthday candles should be blown out.""It will be all right," Mrs. Garza said. "We'll just give it some time to dry out. I'm sure it will still taste delicious.""I'm sorry Mosh ruined your surprise," Marie said."Mosh gave me a bigger surprise," Dad said, laughing.

A rich gentleman invited twenty of the poorest children in the town to him, and said, "Here is a basket, and there is a loaf (条) of bread for each of you. Take it, and come back to me every day at this hour till better times come."The hungry children rushed around the basket, and fought for the bread, because each wished to have the largest loaf. At last they went away without even thanking the good gentleman.But Gretchen, a poorly-dressed little girl, did not fight, but kept standing far away. After those noisy children left, she took the smallest loaf, which was the only one left in the basket. Then she kissed the gentleman's hand, and went home.The next day the children were as rude as before, and poor, shy Gretchen got a loaf only half the size of the one she got the first day. When she came home, her mother cut the bread open, many shining pieces of gold fell out of it! Her mother was very surprised, and said, "Take the money back to the good gentleman at once! It must have got into the loaf by mistake. Be quick, Gretchen! Be quick!"But when the little girl gave the gold pieces and her mother's message to the rich man, he said, "No, no, my child, it was no mistake.

牛津译林版八年级下英语《阅读理解》期末专题练习有答案
牛津译林版八年级下英语期末考试专题练习—阅读理解（1）Did you know that each day one person in the US throws away 4.4 pounds of rubbish? Almost every month, we throw away our own rubbish in packaging alone. Packaging ( including boxes, bags, etc) comes to our homes with the things we have bought. Several weeks ago, the TV news said that in a city in Italy, tons of rubbish were piled up in the streets, and the smell was rather terrible. What can we do to help? We should get to know the following Rs.To reduce means to make less rubbish That is one of the first things we all should do for the environment. Reduce your rubbish by doing things like packing your lunch in reusable containers(可再利用的容器)，taking smaller potions(份)at dinner so you don't waste food when you have had enough, writing on both sides of paper, and using less water when taking a shower.To reuse is to use things again. Think about the bags you get from the store. They can be reused to carry your lunch, to hold your rubbish, or to collect used cans. You can even take them back to the store the next time to carry your things instead of getting a new bag!Recycling is an important part of keeping our planet clean and green. It can also save energy. Be sure that you don't throw things in the rubbish that can be recycled to make something else. Paper, plastic, cans and bottles can all be recycled, but food, electrical waste and mobile phones can't. When you are not sure whether something can be recycled, go to your parents and teachers for advice.Follow the three Rs, and every one of us can do something to save the Earth. It is also the best way to save ourselves.( )1. The first paragraph of the passage implies(暗示) that .A. packaging should be given upB. Italy is too dirty for us to visitC. the US produces most rubbishD. the Earth is becoming dirtier( )2. The writer seems to ask people to reuse the bags .A. only as rubbish bagsB. only for carrying other thingsC. mainly to have a cleaner worldD. mainly to save some money( )3. Which of the following can be recycled?A. Food and bottles.B. Books and newspapers.C. Paper and mobile phones.D. Plastic and electrical waste.( )4. The passage mainly tells us that .A. all useless things can be recycledB. the environment is greatly improvingC. the three Rs can help us clean the EarthD. we should never throw any rubbish away（2）Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he/ she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.( )1. How many people in the world are left-handed now?A. Less than one sixth.B. More than a half.C. About 40%D. The passage doesn’t tell us.( )2.Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “damaged” in this passage?A. knockedB. changedC. brokeD. harmed( )3. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.B. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.( )4. The best title for this passage is _______.A. Scientists’ New InventionsB. Left-handed PeopleC. Which HandD. Different Brains, Different Hands（3）It is believed in some ways that the daughter is father's lover. But my experience has taught me in a different way. For a long time, my father has been a very vague figure(模糊形象)to me. He was a man of few words，tall but slim and nothing else.When I was in primary school, my father was never there to pick me up, and he never came to any of my parent-teacher meetings. He was always busy doing projects. I remember when I was in middle school and my head was badly hurt in a PE class. During my operation，my father was nowhere to be found. This hurt me most. At that moment, I thought my father was a cold-blooded man who did not care about me at all.But things seemed different at my high school graduation ceremony(毕业典礼)where I was chosen to represent my class and give a speech. My father, once again，told me he had a business trip in a place outside the city and would be unable to show up(露面)" Don't come. I will be nervous if I see you. " I told him.I remember my speech went smoothly. After the ceremony was over and I was about to leave，I suddenly noticed a familiar looking man sitting in a corner of the hall. It was my father !I was so surprised that I rushed to him with tears running down my face. "Well done. " he said. His eyes were also filled with tears.Later, I found out that my father had managed to finish his work by staying up late, and he drove for eight hours to get back. He had been sitting in the corner because he didn't want me to see him. My father remembered every word in my speech.For much of my life，I described my father was a cold-blooded man who only cared about his work. But when I thought deeply about this，it was obviously(明显地)not true. At my graduation ceremony，I could feel my father's deep love. The fact is that seeing is not believing, and seeing may not be the fact if we don't perceive(感知)the world with our hearts and minds. There's no doubt(疑问)that life doesn't lack(缺少)love，but sometimes our eyes have trouble seeing it. ( )1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.

That my father sat in the corner of the hall.D. That my father's eyes were filled with tears.( )4. What's the best title of the passage?A. My busy father.B. Life is full of love.C. Seeing is not believing.D. A wonderful speech.（4）Overweight(超重)is one of the biggest health problems now. Being overweight affects more than how you look. Too much fat can kill you. What's worse, overweight children turn into overweight adults(成人).If you're obese now, you probably will grow into an obese adult. But here's good news. You can fight overweight.Change your eating habits.You are what you eat, Kids like snacks. Did you list any healthy snacks? One study of eating habits showed that soft drinks are the first in the snack list. Next, kids choose salty snacks, like chips. What's more, the list is full of junk food from No. 3 to No. 11. Finally, No. 12，kids picked a healthy snack-fruit. So, think about your snack choice again.Get outside to exerciseJim, a player on his school football team, had a weight problem not long time ago. He could never get anyone to play with him. So his father and he started playing football for a few minutes every night. Ten minutes turned into an hour or more. In just a few years, the heavy kid became athletic, fit and healthy.More TV means more fatNearly every American kid watches TV for 2 hours and 56 minutes every day that adds up to 44 days a year of sitting. More TV (or more Internet surfing, or more computer games) means more fat.Eat an apple a day, walk around the house, play with your family... Do it today, and do it more tomorrow.

Vegetarians usually have lower levels of heart disease, and studies have also shown that they have a lower risk of diabetes(糖尿病)than people who eat meat. However, most people don't realize that a vegetarian diet produces less pollution to the earth.Researchers from the Union of Concerned Scientists in the US recently studied how people affect the environment. The study showed that eating meat is one of the main ways that humans can change the environment, second only to the use of motor vehicle.Then, how can eating meat have a negative effect on the environment? For a start, all farmanimals such as cows, pigs, and sheep give off methane gas(沼气)by breathing. One cow can produce up to 60 liters of methane each day. Methane gas is the second most common greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide. Many environmental experts now believe that it is more responsible for global warming than carbon dioxide. It is estimated that 25% of all methane released into the air comes from farm animals.Another way that meat production affects the environment is through the use of water and land. 2,500 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of beef while only 20 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of wheat. One acre of farmland used for crop production can produce 40,000 pounds of potatoes, 30,000 pounds of carrots, or 50,000 pounds of tomatoes, however, one acre of farmland used for raising cows can produce just 250 pounds of beef.Many people now see the benefits of a vegetarian diet, not just for health reasons, but also because it plays an important role in protecting the environment. However, some nutritionists advise against switching to a totally strict vegetarian, or vegan diet. They believe a vegan diet, which excludes(拒绝) all products from animal sources, such as cheese, eggs, and milk, can be short of many necessary vitamins and minerals our bodies need.Today, many people know that it is important to take better care of their bodies, and to use the earth's resources more efficiently. As this understanding spreads, more people may realize that to help the environment and for the human race to survive, more of us will need to become vegetarian.( )1.

My mother read the little poem and cried. "Buddy, it's a beautiful, beautiful poem! " My mother poured out her praise."What time will father be home?" I asked. I could hardly wait to show him my poem. My father had begun his movie career as a writer. He would be able to appreciate(欣赏)my poem even more than my mother. I confidently put the poem right on my father's plate on the dining table.My mother said he would be home around 7. But my father got home an hour later than expected. He sat down at the table and noticed his plate. "What is this?" I heard him say."Ben, Buddy has written his first poem. And it's beautiful, so amazing! " Mother said."If you don't mind, I'd like to decide that for myself, " Father said.I kept my face lowered to my plate. It was only 10 lines long. But it seemed to take hours. "I think it's bad, " my father said. I couldn't look up. My eyes were getting wet."Ben, sometimes I don't understand you," my mother was saying. "This is just a little boy. He needs encouragement.""I don't know why," my father held his ground. "Isn't there enough bad poetry(诗歌)in the world already? No law says Buddy has to become a poet. "I ran from the dining room, threw myself on the bed and cried.A few months later, I read that first poem. It was a bad poem. I worked up the courage to show him a short story. My father thought it was not good but hopeful. I was learning to rewrite. As I worked my way into other books and plays and films, I realized how lucky I was to have a mother who said, "Buddy, it's wonderful! " and a father who shook his head "I think it's bad.

Over 100,000 wildfires burn each year in America. Russia has 20,000 to 35,000 wildfires every year. Australia has on average 60,000 each year. These fires destroy(损害)huge areas of forests and burn hundreds of homes.Many experts believe there are several reasons for this sudden increase in fires. The first reason is climate(气候)change. Recent weather has been warmer and drier. This leads to dangerous fire conditions. When lightening strikes(发生雷电), dry grass easily catches fire. Hot winds add to the problem. The wind spreads a fire quickly. In 2010, Russia had the hottest and driest summer in a century. In just one month，500 fires destroyed over 2,000 homes. Some people lost their lives.Traditional fire-fighting practices are another reason for the increase in fires. In America, firefighters used to quickly put out every fire. They didn't allow the grass and trees to burn. As a result, today many forests have thicker vegetation(植被). Thicker vegetation means morefuel(燃料) for fires. Also, without fires from time to time, forests become overcrowded and unhealthy. Some trees are dead. The dead wood then easily catches fire. So surprisingly, America has many more fires today partly because of its past fire-fighting practices,Scientists now understand that a fire can be a natural part of a healthy forest. As a result, countries like Australia allow more fires to burn naturally. Sometimes, firefighters even start fires to get rid of(去除)dead wood. Of course, they carefully control the fires. The fire thins out old trees. This allows sunlight to reach the ground. As a result, fires help new trees to grow. Therefore, if a fire is not a serious threat(威胁)to people, firefighters may let it burn naturally.( )1.Why did Russia have so many fires in one month in 2010?A. Because lightening spread the fire.B. Because there was much fuel for fires.C. Because there were not enough firefighters.D. Because it was unusually hot, dry and windy.( )2. What happens because of the traditional fire-fighting practices in the USA?A. There are fewer wildfires.B. Trees and grass become thicker.C. The weather becomes warmer and drier.D. Sunlight reaches the ground to help forests.( )3. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?A. Fires are serious threats to human beings.B. Australian firefighters don't put out fires.C. Fires can play an important role in forests.D. 1t's difficult for firefighters to control the fires.( )4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Not all the fires in the forests must be put out.B. People's carelessness leads to dangerous fires.C. Australia allows all the fires to burn naturally.D. There are more fires in Russia than in the USA.（8）Parking lots again came up for discussion in Shanghai. Another 220, 000 private cars will hit the roads this year, and the need to buy a car is still very high among people. More than 270,000 cars have no designated(指定)parking areas at night. In a middle school in Changing District, trees were cut in a green area to make way for car parking. The school had not considered car parking when it was being built,A private car is used about an hour daily for driving and stays parked for 23 hours. Many private cars are used even less. Car-sharing offers users all kinds of cars. The cars are parked in car-sharing stations, lying throughout the city. Customers of car-sharing can book(预定)a car at any time ( day or night) by telephone or on the Internet. The customer then picks the booked car up at the set time. After finishing his/her business, they return the car to the same place where they picked it up. Maybe, this is one way to solve the car parking problem.On the other hand, the idea of Park & Ride has been suggested. This means that underground train and city train should be developed quickly. You can leave your cars in car parks nearby subway and bus stations and then you can ride public transports to go to the city centre within minutes—great in wet weather or when you're carrying heavy bags. Park & Ride services can save you a little more time to do something you enjoy: catch up on e-mails, chat with friends, read the paper or simply relax, and prepare for the day ahead. Then the city will cut down the number of parking lots in the city centre.( )1. Why does the writer mention what the middle school did in Paragraph 1?A. To say car parking has been a problem for along time.B. To show the car parking problem is becoming more serious.C. To warm the middle school didn't care about environment.D. To tell people to learn from the school for more parking areas.( )2. How does the writer like the car-sharing service?A. Expensive.B. OK.C. Not possible.D. Not convenient.( )3. According to the text, private cars .A. are not useful at allB. are not used very oftenC. are responsible for the city train developmentD. help drivers reach the city centre more quickly( )4. According to the idea of Park & Ride, we can infer(推断)the city will have to .A. build more parking lots near subway and bus stopsB. offer more cars to the customers in the city centreC. encourage people not to drive cars to the cityD. ask people not to buy more cars（9）Countless people long to make a difference this holiday season, yet they don't realize that opportunities to make a difference are everywhere. Here are some ideas to get you started. Organize a blank driveIt is cold outside, but imagine how thousands of homeless people may feel without a home of their own, or even a blanket to keep them from the cold. Organize a blank drive for your local homeless, and ask around for donations!Practice random acts of kindnessI'll never. forget the time when I went to pay for my Dr Pepper, but the server resisted, saying my bill was paid by an anonymous(匿名的)guest. It's this random act of kindness that restores my faith in humanity. Bless someone by paying for their drink at Starbucks, or praising them! If you live somewhere where it snows, shovel your neighbour's snow out of their driveway for them! Whether it is as simple as praise or as complex as paying the bill, you'll never know how far your impact will reach.Say thank-youJust a simple thank-you can make somebody's day, especially if they feel like their work is never noticed. Cultivate(培养)a smile on their face by being sincere and grateful for all that they do.Use your talents to help the communityThe best way to show your appreciation for people is by using the talents and skills youhave to bless others. For me, I love to coordinate(协调)events and write, and so my way of reaching out to the community is through writing articles and creating awareness about problems we face today. If you can bake, make some delicious cookies for people to enjoy! If you can knit, put your talents to use by making clothes for children in foster care. Any talent can be used to help the community in meaningful ways.Wish you a happy, healthy and helpful holiday season.( )1.

Scientists are trying to find new clean energies that do not pollutethe air, the water or the ground. Solar power is one of them.Solar power is a kind of electricity which is produced by taking energy from the sun, using solar panels. The solar panels are usually fixed on the roofs of houses and buildings. It is the family solar power system. Some countries are even beginning to build solar power plants by setting thousands of solar panels in the places where there is enough sunshine. Solar power has many advantages. The power is easy to get and will never be used up. Whenever it is sunny, there is the power. The power is clean and renewable. It helps to reduce waste and pollution, which is great for the environment. In the areas that are too far away to send electricity to or not easy to build electric power plants, solar power is especially necessary. It enables the people there to use lights, TVs, computers, washing machines, fridges and many other things. Therefore, more and more countries, such as China, the USA, Japan and India, encourage scientists to develop practical technology to put solar power to use. However, the power is not as widely as used as expected.One of the challenges is that a solar power system needs sunshine. Countries or areas with a lot of rain, like the UK, are not suitable to develop such power systems. Secondly, a solar power plant requires a very large site to fix enough solar panels to collect sunlight and change it into electricity. Maybe an area in the desert would be one of the perfect places for such a plant to build. What's more, solar panels are expensive at present thought the energy itself doesn't cost anything.Today scientists are working hard to develop more practical and cheaper solar power systems. Maybe one day solar power will be one of the most important clean energies in our life.( )1. Solar power is a kind of energy taken from .A. the airB. the sunC. the waterD. the ground( )2. The underlined word reduce probably means .A. to make something lessB. to make something betterC. to make something moreD. to make something cleaner( )3. What is the fourth paragraph of the passage mainly about?A. The ways to use solar power.B. The advantages of solar power.C. The places to build the solar power plants.D. The difficulties of putting solar power to use widely.( )4. What can we learn from the passage?A. Solar energy itself is expensive.B. Solar power will be used up very soon.C. Solar power is a kind of clean and useful energy.D. Solar power is much better than the other energies.参考答案（1）1-4 DCBB （2）1-4 ADBC （3）1-4 BDBC （4）1-4 CBAD （5）1-5 DBCAC （6）1-4 BCAD （7）1-4 DBCA （8）1-4 BDBA （9）1-5 ACCBA （10）1-4 BADC。

For example, they can help people to save much time to do much work, and they can help people to work out many problems they can’t do easily. Our country asks everyone to learn to use computers except the old people.Today more and more families own computers. Parents buy computers for their children. They hope that computers can help them to improve their studies at school. But many of their children use computers to play games and watch videos. For most students, computers can not help them to study better but make them fall behind.

Nowadays, more inventions and creations have made China stronger and greater in the world.On May 5th, 2017, at Shanghai Pudong International Airport, China’s first large homemade jet airliner(喷气式客机), the C919, took off successfully for the first time. It has taken about ten years for the scientists and researchers to make this Chinese dream come true, It’s a pride of the whole nation. So far, more than 23 companies have already ordered 570 C919 planes from China. But we still have a long way to go before the C919 carries passengers by 2020. It also faces the challenge of competing with the Airbus A320 and the new Boeing B737.What’s more, China is working on the new high-speed trains with the highest speed of 400 km/h. It will be ready by 2020. The new trains are expected to push area cooperation(合作) and create new business for China and foreign countries. Many countries, especially the ones in Central Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Eastern Europe, are planning to build high-speed rail lines or to improve their railways with the help of China. They’d like to get support in technology from China.China has made great progress in both science and technology. And it makes a great contribution(贡献) to human, too. All of these are changing the daily life of Chinese people, even of the people around the world.1.

Could the children in poor rural (农村) areas develop as well as those in rich cities? Maybe the answers were “No” in the past. But now, China is trying to change the situation.In order to help rural students grow taller and stronger, China’s Nutrition(营养) Improvement Program started in 2011. According to the program, a lot more money was spent improving students’meals. More than 36 million students from 134,000primary and junior high schools in poor rural areas have benefited from the program. They are provided with healthy food like eggs and milk from Monday to Friday at school. And the result of a survey shows that the students in those areas are much taller and stronger than before.It is true that there were differences between less developed areas and developed areas in education before. Recently, The Guideline for Popularizing High School Education (2017-2020) has come out. According to the guideline, above 90% students from all over the country will go to high schools by 2020. What’s more, the schools in central and western areas will get more support to improve their education.Students from rural and poor areas also get more chances to receive higher education. A special college program makes it possible for more students from those areas to go to key (重点的) collegesand universities. The number will be increased by 10% in 2017.With the guideline and the programs, we can expect a fairer and more balanced (均衡的) education in the future.1.

This is Rose Garden Middle School Radio. John Smith speaking, with something new to share with you today. We all know that thinking green is sometimes the most difficult thing to do, but not impossible! Bed ZED, a new eco-friendly village (生态村）in the south of London, has done a great job of providing its villagers with a high level living while getting them to pay more attention to protecting the environment.People in Bed ZED have done many things. They recycle their paper, plastic, glass and other daily things. They build many houses whose windows face south in order to get as much sunlight as possible. The rainwater is collected for use in the toilets. Also, the people there travel to work in shared cars or use public transportation if they work far away.Now, you may think it’s not easy to live such a life, but let me tell you, it’s not! It’s a way of life! We just have to say no to what is bad for the environment, and begin working on ideas to protect it.

We had little money, but plenty of love and attention. I was very happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream.My dream was sports. By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything that moved on the baseball field. I was also lucky: my high school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but taught me how to believe in myself. One special incident(事件)with him changed my life forever.It was the summer between my junior and senior years, and I was offered a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket—money for dates with girls, money for a new bike and new clothes, and I could begin to save money for a house for my mother.Then I realized, to do that work, I would have to give up summer baseball training. When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as angry as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,” he said. “Your time for playing is n’t long. You can’t afford to waste it.”I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house was worth facing his disappointment in me.“How much are you going to make at this job, son?” he asked.“Three twenty-five an hour,” I replied.“Well,” he asked, “is $3.25 an hour the price of a dream?”That question made me understand the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal for the future. I practiced hard that summer, and within the year I was chosen by a famous team to play for them, and was offered $20,000 a year.Later, I was given a baseball scholarship to the University of Arizona, which led me to an education. In 1984 I began to play for the Denver Broncos for $1.7 million a year. And certainly, I bought my mother a beautiful large house.1.When did the writer want to take a part-time job?A.

Eric is like the king in the world of children’s books. He has written over 70 children’s books. His most famous book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, is common on children’s bookshelves all over the world. What most people don’t know is that Eric also makes art for adults, which is called “ArtArt”.People didn’t know about it, because he didn’t show it to the public until he was 84 years old!Like Eric’s children’s books, his “ArtArt” is full of bright and clear color. He says that he loves color so much because he missed it during the war in Germany. Eric was born in New York in 1929, but moved to Germany with his family when he was 6.When he was 10,World War Ⅱ began. He noticed that all the houses and buildings in his town were painted grey, brown or dark green. It was a sad time, and it seemed like there was no color anywhere.At the end of the war, “when color came back”, Eric explains, “I just loved it so much. I keep saying that I wish our eyes could see more color. Color is a very important part of my work.”That’s true. Eric paints bright colors on paper, cuts out shapes, and then glues them onto another piece of paper. This method is called collage. In fact, it is what led Eric to his “ArtArt”.Eric’s “ArtArt” includes large collages as well as paintings, photographs and even costumes. In all these works, he uses all kinds of colors—everything from purple to light green to orange. Now that’s a lot of color!1.W hen did Eric show “ArtArt” to the public?A. In 1929.B. In 1993.C. In 1997.D. In 2013.2.Why did Eric feel sad during World War Ⅱ?A. Because he could hardly see bright color.B. Because he had to join the army to fight.C.

Collage plays an important part in Eric’s book “ArtArt”.B. Children know little about The Very Hungry Caterpillar.C. Eric has created more books for adults than for children.D. Eric moved to Germany with his family when he was 10.4.What’s the main idea of this passage?A. Eric created collages for his books.B. Eric’s “ArtArt” is popular with people.C. Eric’s love for color led him to success.D. Eric is the king in the world of children’s books.十二Are You Right Handed or Left Handed?Which hand do you use when you write? About 8 to 15 percent of people are left handed. They often have to use tools that are designed for right-handed people. So it is difficult for left-handers to use most tools. If you are right handed, try this experiment: Take a knife with your left hand and try cutting a potato into pieces. Don’t be surprised if you feel awkward(别扭的).In the past, people thought it was strange to use the left hand. Young students looked down upon their left-handed classmates. Some children were even punished for using their left hand to write. But these days parents and teachers have accepted that. In almost every school in the world, left-handed students can use their left hand to write.What causes people to be left handed or right handed? Experts have searched long and hard on this. They concluded(得出结论)that left-handed people are left handed for the same reason that right-handed people are right handed. One out of every ten people just is a left-hander. It s simply like the color of our eyes—some people have brown eyes, while some others have black eyes.However, many researchers think that left-handers and right-handers are different in some aspects. Right-handers are more talkative and outgoing than left-handers. Many right-handed people understand spoken words better. For example, after they listen to directions to a supermarket, they can find it easily. Right-handers are good at organizing people, too. They are also better basketball guards. Just ask Yao Ming.Research shows that left-handers are creative and artistic. Many famous performers, like Jim Carrey and Paul McCartney, are left handed. Many left-handers learn better visually(在视觉方面). In art, both Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo were left handed. In music, Ludwig van Beethoven was left handed. In science, you find Newton and Einstein. The left-handed people are also really good at tennis and other single sports.If you prefer one hand, but you are still good at writing with the other, you are mixed handed. Research shows mixed-handers can remember everyday things better than other people. What did you eat for lunch two weeks ago? If you re mixed handed, you can probably remember.1.If right-handers cut up potatoes with their left hand, they will.。

In many cities there are even slow reading clubs where members go to a caf6，sit quietly，drink coffee and just read．Researchers have found that reading slowly helps people concentrate and relax．Reading，of course，isn’t easy．You have to sit still，for one thing．And it can seem boring when comparedto the excitement of playing video games．But，for me，reading has been an enduring pleasure in my life．From the age of ten，when I got my first library card，I've enjoyed thousands of interesting people I would have never met in real life．Reading helped me to understand the world around me．It was an education in a classroom that had no walls．In your classroom．you have learned to read“fast”．Outside the classroom。
