Unit5 阅读理解专练Wild animals are our friends, hut many of them are getting fewer and fewer. We should try to protect them. The four animals below are now in danger.Tibetan AntelopesTibetan antelopes(藏铃羊）are medium-sized animals. They mainly feed on grass. They are usually found in groups of about 20. They are killed for their wool, which is warm, soft and fine and can be made into expensive clothes. Although people can get the wool without killing the animals, people simply kill them before taking the wool. The number of them is dropping year by year. There are less than 75,000 Tibetan antelopes left in the world, down from a million 50 years ago.Golden MonkeysGolden monkeys are mainly found in Sichuan, Gansu, Shanxi provinces and Shengnongjia mountainous area of Hubei Province. Golden monkeys have golden-orange fur. They move around in the daytime, usually in groups of as many as 100 to 200 heads, or 20 to 30 heads. They feed on fruits and young leaves of bamboos. But people are destroying the environment where they live. Trees and bamboos are disappearing, so golden monkeys have less and less to eat.ElephantsElephants are very big and strong. They are bigger than any other animals on land. They are grey and have long trunks and tusks. They have poor eyesight, but very good hearing and smell. They can lift heavy things and break down branches with their trunks. Elephants are very friendly towards each other and towards their neighbours. Normally, they live in a group for many years. Young male elephants do not leave the group until they are about 12 years old. Now, there are very few elephants in the world. The number of them is becoming smaller and smaller because their living areas are used for farming. Also, people hunt them for their tusks. WolvesWolves are not very big. They have grey fur. Wolves have very good eyesight, hearing and smell. Wolves，food is various. They eat animals, insects and snails. They are friendly to each other and never attack people. They do not kill for fun. Wolves arein danger, too. They are losing their living areas because people cut down forests. Soon they will have no home or food.1.

" The foreigner was quite 1at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself understood or the girl had not 2 him clearly, he said, "Yes, indeed, you speak very well. " 3 the girl still kept saying, "No." In the end, the American boy could not understand and didn't know what to say.What's wrong with the girl's answer? She didn't 4 a compliment(恭维) in the same way as the American people do. She should answer, "Thank you" instead of "No". She 5 understood what the American boy had said, but she thought she should be modest. In the west, people will feel proud and 6 when they are praise. So if someone says the 7 you have cooked are very delicious, you should say, "Thank you".In our country we think being modest is a virtue(美德)and being proud is a bad thing, but in my opinion, being confident does not 8 being proud, so sometimes you should be confident instead of being modest.9 you are modest and say, "No. I'm afraid I can't do it well.”While working in a western country, the others may think that you really cannot do it. If you often say "No", you will certainly be looked down upon by 10 . When asking for a job, if one says something like "Yes. I can certainly do it" instead of "Let me have a try", he or she will expect to get it. So in the west, you should be brave to show your self-confidence.( )1.

It likes living in very tall trees or other high-growing plants. These frogs do not often descend to the ground, except to mate and spawn(产卵)-some build nests (巢)on leaves and during their adult lives, do not leave the trees at all.Tree frogs are usually small, as their weight has to be carried by the twigs(小枝、嫩枝)of their homes. They are not easy to find. The back colour of tree frogs is usually bright green, but many tree frogs can change their colours; when resting on barks(树皮)they are usually bright brownish(褐色的)gray. On green leaves, they stay green. On green branches(树枝)，they turn brown. Some of them can change from green to gold or blue.Tree frogs have legs and wide feet. They have sticky(粘性的)pads(掌肉)on the end of their toes. These sticky toe pads kip than from falling from the trees.Tree frogs can be alt different colours. Their eyes are different colours too. Some have green eyes, some gray. Some frogs' eyes are gold, and some are bright red.The sounds they make in spring and summer are different too. One frog makes a sound like dog barking. Another frog makes a loud noise like a snore(鼾声).There is even a frog that whistles(口哨)!Isn't it interesting?( )1. From the passage, we can learn that tree frogs build their nests .A. on short treesB. on tall treesC. on large treesD. on small trees( )2.

It's not true at all. More and more people in the USA volunteer to spend their school holidays working for others. And they don't do it for money. Here are some of their stories.Alice Hamilton, 17I'm going to help the Forest Centre build new hiking paths in the mountains. It's going to be terrific-I'll spend the whole summer living in the tent and breathing(呼吸)the clean mountain air. I'm going to sleep under the stars. It'll be a nice sport, and I'll be able to do something good at the same time.Jason Moore, 18This summer, I'm going to volunteer with Special House Program.

Each koala eatsabout 500 grams of leaves per day.Habit: The koala sleeps for up to 16-18 hours. It prefers to movearound in the evening.Baby fact: A healthy female koala can have one child each year. Ababy koala is very small when it is born-only a quarter of an inch.It has no hair and it can't see either. It lives in its mother's pouch(育儿袋)for half a year. During this time, it only drinks its mother's milk.Danger: The number of koalas in Australia is getting smaller every year, mainly because of people. People cut down a lot of trees, so many koalas have no places to live in and they don't have enough leaves to eat. There are fewer than 100, 000 koalas in the world. Some scientists say if people don't protect them, we won't have any koalas within 30 years( )1.Which of the following is TRUE?A. An adult koala often weighs more than 16 kg.B. The female koala is smaller than the male one.C. The claws of the koala are sharp but their teeth are not.D. The koala often sleeps more than 20 hours.( )2.The koala is in danger now. The main reason is that .A. big animals eat themB. people hunt them for their furC. people cut down many treesD. they often kill each otherBDo you think of white when someone talks about a polar beam? In fact, the polar bear does not have white fur. It just appears to be white. Polar bears have a very good sense of smell. It helps them to find food. During summer, polar bears sleep longer, because they are able to find their food more easily at night. Usually, after a meal, polar bears have a short sleep. A polar bear can have 2-3 babies at a time. They live with their mothers until they are about two-and-a-half years old.However, polar bears will die out soon because of people. There are only 20, 000 to 25, 000 polar bears in the world. The ones that are left are trying to survive today. The number of polar bears is becoming smaller and smaller because of the loss of sea ice-polar bears mostly inhabit(居住于)the sea ice, not the land ice. This is happening because of global warming(全球气候变暖), pollution, hunting and so on.Ordinary people don't care, but great people have the power and want to save tigers, fight for giant pandas and save polar bears. Ordinary people will wait, but great people will find a new world. For me, I will not wait. I will take the bus more often from now on. Join me and save the polar bears, and, of course, the tigers, the giant pandas and...( )1.According to the passage, which of these answers does NOT make sea ice less?A. Global warming.B. Pollution.C. Hunting.D. Travelling( )2.What can we learn from the passage?A. Polar bear's fur is white.B. Perhaps the writer will drive his car less.C. It's harder for polar bears to find food in summer.D. Polar bears left have a good, happy life.( )3. What does the underlined word "ordinary" mean in Chinese?A.勤劳的B.聪慧的C.普通的D.坚强的( )4.What is the main idea of this passage?A. To show that the number of polar bears is getting smaller.B. To tell people that polar bears will soon have nowhere to live.C. To let people know why polar bears are in danger.D. To talk about polar bears and suggest that people protect animals.CThere are several ways you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who have traveled to the places, you can go and see a colour film about them, or you can read a travel book.It seems that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give a personal, subjective(主观的)idea of travels which their writer has got himself. These books can be useful if the writers share their traveling experiences with others. The second kind are those books which give objective(客观的)information of things to be done and seen. If a cultured person has written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is more useful. The third kind are those books which are called "a guide" to some place or other. If they are good, they will describe and explain the place in detail. Like the first kind, they can be interesting and exciting, but their main purpose is to help the reader plan his travel in the most practical way.Whatever kind of travel book you choose, you must make sure that the book does not describe everything as interesting, exciting or fantastic. You must also keep an open eye on its date of publication(出版)because travel is very practical matter and many things change quickly in the 21st century. Finally, you should make sure that it's easy to find the useful information for your travel.( )1.The underlined phrase "a cultured person" means a person with .A. a good appearanceB. a good educationC. a lot of experienceD. a lot of money( )2.The date of publication must be noticed because .A. the prices of travel books may be differentB. the writers of travel books may be differentC. the information in travel books is always the sameD. the information in travel books is always changing( )3.According to the passage, it is best to read before traveling to a place of interest.A. the first kind of travel booksB. the second kind of travel booksC. the third kind of travel booksD. some travel articles in newspaperDAs the saying goes, "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime." This is the way the charity organization Heifer International(国际小母牛慈善组织)wants to end world hunger.It began in the 1930s when an American farmer, Dan West, went to Spain to help people in need. He tried to feed the people with milk. But it seemed that there would never be enough milk. It made him think that what they needed was "not a cup, but a cow".Dan West returned to America. He worked together with some friends to find ways to end hunger. He believed giving animals and providing(提供)training would stop world hunger. With his help, Heifer International was set up.On Heifer International's website(网站), you will see a list of animals like cows, chickens, pigs and even fish and bees. You can offer help by buying some animals for one certain family. Those animals will have babies. With more and more animals, these families will be able to support themselves. Once these families get better lives, they will pass on the act of kindness to others. More importantly, you are buying the resources(资源)for programs run by Heifer International to help more families.The programs also help small-sized farms. As a rule, each farmer must give his animal's first female(雌性) baby to another in need. Heifer International also provides training on animals' health and feeding. And these farmers all agree to teach others what they have learned as another rule.However, there is still a long way to go. The milk may run out. But if families have their own cows, they can get plenty of milk to feed themselves. The organization wants the farmers to go on working together, helping each other and learning from each other. Maybe hunger can really be stopped.( )1 .According to the passage, we know that Dan West .A. set up a team in SpainB. helped people with enough fishC. was a Spanish farmerD. helped set up Heifer International( )2 .Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the charity organization Heifer International?A. Heifer International makes a list of animals on its website.B. Farmers in the program must teach others how to feed animals.C. Farmers in the program must give all the animals' babies to othersD. Heifer International provides training on animals' health and feeding.( )3.The best title of this passage may be " ".A. Advice on Feeding CowsB. A Cow Instead of a CupC. The Charity OrganizationsD. An American Farmer四、信息还原(每小题1分，共5分)根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
译林牛津英语八年级上册Unit 5阅读理解随堂练习(无答案)
译林牛津英语八年级上册Unit 5阅读理解随堂练习（无答案）AWhen I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon was expensive. One of my father's friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie's place. We' d sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）, and got ready for a big meal.Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we'd bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest.Bernie was my father's idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie's wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don't take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life's small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.For many years, I forgot that lesson I'd learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.Well, I've relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That's the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.( ) 1. We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling ______.A. relaxedB. worriedC. hungryD. proud( ) 2. How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon?A. They ate it in a polite way.B. They only ate its best part.C. They ate every part of it.D. They shared only one piece.( ) 3. In the eyes of the writer's father, Bernie ______.A. was just a rich businessmanB. worked hard all the timeC. lived a rich but healthy lifeD. knew how to make money( ) 4. The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last paragraph refers to ______.A. the best part of the watermelonB. the writer's busy lifeC. the writer's decision of making moneyD. the writer's hope of enjoying life( ) 5. It can be learned from the passage that ______.A. one has to work hard to reach his goalB. a friend in need is a friend in deedC. watermelon is the healthiest fruitD. one should keep work-life balanceBWhen the Audet family turns on the lights at Blue Farm, they are using electricity that comes from cows—cow manure (粪肥), to be specific.Cows produce a lot of wastes. One cow can create 30 gallons of wastes each day. Now imagine the output of over 1,000 cows at Blue Farm. That's really a big amount.When farmers clean their barns, they put the wastes in a big heap, and spread some of them on their fields for fertilizer(肥料). But now places like Blue Spruce Farm have a new way of using cow wastes. They use them to produce electricity.Here's how it works: A big machine moves back and forth cleaning the barn floor. “The cows aren't bothered,” says Marie Audet. “They are animals of habit; they get used to it, and just lift one foot and then another to let it go by.”The machine pushes the manure into a big 600-gallon tank like a small swimming pool. The tank is called a digester (化粪池) because what happens there is just like what happens inside a cow: Bacteria(细菌) get to work and continue to digest the manure.Methane gas (甲烷、沼气)in the atmosphere is known as a “greenhouse” gas because it keeps heat just like a greenhouse does, causing our planet to warm up. That's an environmental concern. But the digester has a good result. Its gas is kept and used to power electric generators (发电机).At Blue Farm, the generators make enough electricity to power 400 homes. The Audet family sells the extra electricity they can't use themselves.( ) 6. We learn from the text that the Audet family is using cow wastes to ______.A. make electricityB. produce fertilizerC. build their farmD. feed the cows( ) 7. How are the cow wastes collected into the digester at Blue Farm?A. Marie Audet does the workB. The job is done by machineC. The cows lift the cow wastesD. Bacteria get to work on them( ) 8. According to the passage, which of the following is changed into electricity?A. The power of moving water.B. The heat of burning coal.C. The power of sunlight.D. The heat of the methane gas( ) 9. The new way of using cow wastes at Blue Farm might be best described as ______.A. reducingB. savingC. recyclingD. changing( ) 10. What is the main purpose for writing the passage?A. To introduce a new way of making electricityB. To explain how a new energy works betterC. To show a new rebuilding plan for a big farmD. To explain the reasons for green house effectC( ) 11.What's the purpose of the text?A. To list the services offered by the Association.B. To make an advertisement for the flats.C. To ask the residents to follow the rules.D. To warn people against possible dangers.( ) 12.According to the text, which of the following is done once a week?A. Rubbish collections.B. Drying the washing.C. Cleaning the main stairs.D. Changing the lights( ) 13. People should dry their washing on the watching lines ______.A. at the car parkB. in the ground floor flatsC. in the hallwaysD. in the garden( ) 14. The Association will talk with you if ______.A. lights are not workingB. you make too much noiseC. you let strange people inD. you park your car on the road( ) 15. It can be learned from the text that ______.A. people should leave the broken chairs on the stairsB. the Association is always ready to help the residentsC. one can park the car at any numbered parking spaceD. the lights will be on whenever you pass the main stairsDIt's very early in the morning and I'm sitting outside. It's also very cold and dark. With me is Jim Nightingale, and he is the reason I'm up so early. He passes me a hot cup of coffee. "Not long to wait now," he says. I hope he's right.After a few minutes there is a very weak light in the east, and then I hear a bird singing. It sings very loud and very clear. "That's the robin（知更鸟）," says Jim. A few more birds start singing with the robin and Jim knows the names of them too. Half an hour later, there are more and more birds singing, and it's very loud! Suddenly, all around us the air is full of the sound of birdsong. This is the dawn chorus（晨鸣）, and it's beautiful."Wow, this is amazing!" I tell Jim, who is smiling. "Is there a dawn chorus every morning?""Birds can sing any time of the year but the best time is the end of winter and during the spring. This is when the birds sing most.""Really? So, why do they sing?" I ask."Well, there are two reasons," explains Jim. "Most of the songbirds who sing are males. They want to find a female（雌性）so they sing to show how strong they are. The females listen and choose the best singer! The birds also sing to tell other males to go away . They need their own area; they don't like sharing with another male."I listen to the birds; the songs seem too much to me. "Do the birds sing a special song in the morning?""That's a good question," replied Jim. "The successful birds have many kinds of calls and songs. Sometimes they copy the songs of other birds. This makes it sound like there are many birds in that place already and other males stay away. Also the female likes songs with different notes. Some birds, for example the European wren, have songs that contain over 700 different notes per minute!"So, how does Jim know so much about birds?

译林牛津版英语八年级上册 Unit 5 考点讲义+练习(有答案)
Comic strip & welcome to the unit1.- Would you like to live in the wild?- Why not? Wild animals are free and happy. (P.56)【必会表达1】would like to do sth. = want to do sth. 想要做某事would like sb. to do sth. = want sb. to do sth想要某人做某事【拓展】Would you please do sth.? 请你做……好吗？否定形式：Would you please not do sth?e.g. Would you please __________ (not close) the window?答案：not close【必会表达2】Why not? 表示赞同别人的建议，相当于Good idea! / I think so.等。
回顾“提建议”的不同句型：Why not do sth. = why don’t you do sth. = what / how about doing sth.? = Let’s do sth.【重点单词1】wild此处用作不可数名词，意为“自然环境、野生状态”，in the wild表示“在野外”；wild作形容词时表示“野生的”，如：wild animals。
【重点单词2】free意为“免费的；自由的”。
作“自由的”讲时，有比较级freer和最高级freest，其反义词是busy；作“免费的”讲时，没有比较级和最高级形式。
【常用短语】for free免费地be free to do sth.自由地做某事e.g. You are free to go or stay.2.- So could you please not eat them? - No way. (P.56)【必会表达】Could you please...?意为“请你……好吗？”，其中could不表示过去，只表示比can更有礼貌的请求，属非正式请求，语气较委婉；please之后要接动词原形，其否定形式是在please之后加not，即Could you please not...?其肯定回答常用Sure.／Certainly.／Of course, I'd love to.，其否定回答常用Sorry. ...。

We were in the same summer school and now she thinks we’re best friends.” The once familiar voice sounded so 3 and strange.I felt really mortified (尴尬的). My hands were shaking. I couldn't help crying sadly. I felt heart-broken for the very first time. How did this happen? I 4 we were friends.I ran home. My mother just held me while I cried for hours.

We came here to get away from them all. Here we were on our first day and already, he couldn’t stand it.▲I walked down the grass road to the beach and looked out to the sea. My 6-year-old daughter and my husband were drawing on pieces of wood. They were doing just fine.On Day 2, we spent the whole morning digging for shells(贝壳). This time, my son joined us. He collected shellfish and other sea treasures. When we got back to our little wood house, I gave my son a book, and put him on the lovely garden chair. It was almost dinner when he looked up.。

Unit5 阅读理解专练
Wild animals are our friends, hut many of them are getting fewer and fewer. We should try to protect them. The four animals below are now in danger.
Tibetan Antelopes
Tibetan antelopes(藏铃羊）are medium-sized animals. They mainly feed on grass. They are usually found in groups of about 20. They are killed for their wool, which is warm, soft and fine and can be made into expensive clothes. Although people can get the wool without killing the animals, people simply kill them before taking the wool. The number of them is dropping year by year. There are less than 75,000 Tibetan antelopes left in the world, down from a million 50 years ago.
Golden Monkeys
Golden monkeys are mainly found in Sichuan, Gansu, Shanxi provinces and Shengnongjia mountainous area of Hubei Province. Golden monkeys have golden-orange fur. They move around in the daytime, usually in groups of as many as 100 to 200 heads, or 20 to 30 heads. They feed on fruits and young leaves of bamboos. But people are destroying the environment where they live. Trees and bamboos are disappearing, so golden monkeys have less and less to eat.
Elephants
Elephants are very big and strong. They are bigger than any other animals on land. They are grey and have long trunks and tusks. They have poor eyesight, but very good hearing and smell. They can lift heavy things and break down branches with their trunks. Elephants are very friendly towards each other and towards their neighbours. Normally, they live in a group for many years. Young male elephants do not leave the group until they are about 12 years old. Now, there are very few elephants in the world. The number of them is becoming smaller and smaller because their living areas are used for farming. Also, people hunt them for their tusks. Wolves
Wolves are not very big. They have grey fur. Wolves have very good eyesight, hearing and smell. Wolves，food is various. They eat animals, insects and snails. They are friendly to each other and never attack people. They do not kill for fun. Wolves are
in danger, too. They are losing their living areas because people cut down forests. Soon they will have no home or food.
