We’ll go off on holiday.What I suggest you do is this:invite a friend or neighbor to help you.You can ask him to water the plants in the greenhouse until you return,but first make sure that he knows how to do it.What he should not do is throw water over the leaves of the plants themselves, because if he does that,it will invite diseases.Also for the same reason,ask him if he can possibly water in the morning,not in the evening.If you haven’t got a greenhouse,there is one safe and easy way to keep the plants well when you are away,and this is how you do it.Place six-inch-deep newspapers in the bottom of the bath. Yes,the bath!Turn the tap on and keep the water running until the papers are all wet.Now put the flower pots to stand on the wet paper,go off holiday,and they should be alive and well when you return

was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell.“Sure,honey,that sounds great.”I said,thinking back to my own best friend,Lillian.We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights,New York.We met at the age of10, too.Like my daughter,I was shy,but Lillian drew me out.She was one of the friendliest people in school,with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile.In senior high school,Lillian went on a trip to Florida.This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days.“I’ll be back soon,”she told me.But three days later, Lillian’s sister told me that she had fallen into a river and hadn’t come out any more.Soon,my family moved to New Jersey.Whenever I thought of her,tears came into my eyes.The next day Donna brought her new friend home.“Hi,Mrs.Loggia.”the little girl said.Her hair was so shiny and black and she shot me a big smile.“My name is Laura.”My daughter’s new friend was so much like Lillian.I was still puzzled(迷惑)when Laura’s mom came to pick her up later that afternoon.I opened the door to let her in.“Judy!”she cried.“It’s me,Lillian’s sister,from Washington Heights.”Yes,my daughters friend looked familiar(熟悉).She was Lillian’s niece.35.The underlined words in the first paragraph“to bring her out of her shell”mean______.A.to help her become less shyB.to help her become smartC.to help her live

Jersey because of Lillian’s deathCWhen I was growing up in America,I was ashamed of(感到难为情)my mother’s Chinese English.Because of her Chinese English,she was often treated unfairly.People in department stores,at banks,and at restaurants did not take her seriously,did not give her good service(服务) pretended not to understand her,or even acted as if they did not hear her.My mother realized that she was poor at English.When I was fifteen,she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she.She made me ask for information or even to shout at people who had been rude to her.One time I had to call her stockbroker(股票经纪人).I said in an adolescent(青少年的)voice that was not very certain.“This is Mrs.Tan.”My mother was standing beside me saying,“Why he doesn’t send me check,already two weeks late.”And then,inperfect English I said:“I’m getting rather worried.You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”My mother then talked more loudly.“What he want?I come to New York to tell him in front of his boss.”And so I turned to the stockbroker again,“I can’t accept any more excuse.If I don’t receive the check immediately,I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”The next week we ended up in New York.While I was sitting there red-faced,my mother,the real Mrs.Tan,was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager,my mother’s broken English embarrassed(令人尴尬)me.But now,I see it differently.To me,my mother’s English is perfectly clear,perfectly natural.It is my mother tongue.Her language,as I hear it,is vivid,direct,and full of observation and wisdom.It was the language that helped me see things,express ideas,and make sense of the world.40.Why couldn’t the writer’s mother get good service?A.She was unable to speak good English.B.She was often treated unfairly.C.She was not clearly heard.D.She was not very polite.41.From Paragraph2,we know that the writer______.A.liked pretending very muchB.was

AmericaD.may bring trouble in America45.The best title of the passage might be.A.Great MotherB.Natural EnglishC.Mother’s Chinese EnglishD.Perfect EnglishDOn May24,Theresa May gave a public speech outside Downing Street.She made the decision to step down as the UK’s prime minister(PM)after failing to pass Brexit a plan to separate(使脱离)the UK from the European Union(EU).May broke down in tears as she finished her speech.Many people have wondered what she’s like in her personal life.May,who was born in1956,is the UK’s second female(女性的)prime minister after Margaret Thatcher.She had to overcome many challenges to get to this position.When she was a child,she dreamed about becoming the first female prime minister of Britain.One of her childhood friends told reporters that she had gotten angry when Thatcher became the first female PM before her.May studied geography at Oxford University.After graduating,she worked in the banking industry.In1997,she was elected(选举)as a member of Parliament(议会)becoming one of the few women to join the governing body.In June2016，then-prime minister David Cameron decided to leave the business of Brexit behind him for May to deal with.When May became prime minister,she was ambitious(有雄心的)about Brexit.However, her ambition for Brexit began to wear down after many failed talks with the EU.Still,I am very inspired by May.She is a strong woman who fought hard for her country.She tried again and again to make good deals with the EU about Brexit.Although she failed most of time,she still got up and carried on.She will go down in history.46.The story is mainly about______.A.the latest developments concerning BrexitB.Theresa May’s personal lifeC.the UK’s first female prime ministerD.a speech giver by Theresa May47.What do we

It was about half a meter 19 . He thought to himself, “The train is going to travel over the man. If he trie s to get up, the train will definitely kill him. However, the young man will be OK if he lies on the ground and doesn’t move.” At this time, Mr. Brown knew he had to make a tough 20 , and it would be very important for this young man. Without further hesitation( 犹豫), Mr. Brown jumped onto the track. He 21 on top of Mr. Wilson, and kept him down on the ground inside the subway track. The train driver saw both of them.

When Mr. Brown heard them shouting, he shouted, “We’re fine, but tell my sons I’m OK.” People on the platform clapped( 鼓掌) and cheered their 23 they were amazed at Mr. Brown’s courage and bravery.

He found a new kind of dog food.BAfter releasing a short video on April 27th about planting and cooking peas,Chinese food blogger LiZiqi witnessed gad her followers on You Tube go beyond 10 million. This puts Li, who is famous for short videos recording her traditional lifestyle in China's countryside, among the list of the most popular Chinese-language content creators on the Internet. she was surprised by how foreign netizens were attracted by her works.“What I present is is just a lifestyle I've long followed and enjoyed," she said.Maybe it's also what many other people have valued. Li’s YouTube videos center on her life with her grandmother in the rural parts of Sichuan Province. In the videos, Li, often dressed in beautiful traditional clothes rises at sunrise, rests at sunset, plants seeds and harvests flowers, cooks Chinese dishes and makes bamboo furniture.Unlike many other food bloggers, Li’s vi deos set China’s countryside as the stage and start with how the foods are planted and harvested in the farm.She rarely speaks in the process. Li's overseas followers have praised her videos for showing the amazing pictures, simple and elegant side of China's rural life."In the countryside, planting flower, vegetables and trees is not difficult. There are difficult parts of rural life of course,but I didn't put them in my videos," the blogger said."Most people today are facing huge stress in work and life,so I hope they can feel relaxed when watching my videos."( ) 28.

Li’s short videos show the viewers a lifestyle.A. stressfulB. difficultC. hard-workingD. relaxingCIn the most southern part of our planet, there's a place that's covered with snow and ice all year round.But it has the clearest and cleanest air. Amazingly, in this place, the sun sometimes hangs even in the midnight sky.Thisplace is Antarctica(南极洲): the coldest,windiest and harshest(恶劣的)place on the Earth.As the world's least-known place,Antarctica is of great interest to scientists around the world.In 1983,China joined the Antarctic Treaty(《南极条约》). The treaty made Antarctica a peaceful place for member countries to do scientific research. During 30 years, China has sent many scientists to Antarctica.They mostly look at the resources under the icy land and do research about climate change and marine (海洋的) biology.Antarctica is a place with fantastic views.However, life there is very hard. Food is one of the biggest problems. Frozen(速冻) food which can be heated easily is people's daily food.Fresh vegetables are bard to grow in the cold weather. Therefore, scientists often eat dried or canned vegetables.Sleep is also troublesome.In Antarctica, summer lasts from November to March.During this period, Antarctica points to the sun and receives sunlight 24 hours a day. In order to get some sleep, scientists cover the windows with black plastic cloth to create "night".Working in Antarctica is dangerous,especially when meeting gale-force (七级以上的)winds. Sometimes the wind is even stronger than a typhoon. I t can easily blow people away.So there are ropes that connect buildings of some research stations.People can hold these ropes to keep their balance in forceful winds.What's more, communicating with others is difficult. Without cables and Internet in some research stations, two-way radios are the only tools to communicate.If people want to say hello to friends and relatives, they can use satellite phones.Although it is challenging to work in Antarctica, scientists’ passion to learn about this mysterious land will never end. It is hopeful that one day they will step every corner of this icy land.( ) 31.From Paragraph 1, we learn that the Antarctica .A. is covered with snow and iceB. rains heavily from time to timeC. has little wind most of the timeD. has sunshine during every night( ) 32.Scientists from China go to Antarctica to .A.find out ways to control water pollutionB.research climate change and marine biologyC.grow plants and vegetables in special conditionD.stop the hunters from killing the marine biology( ) 33.We can replace（替换）the underlined word passion in the last paragraph with .A. strong loveB. full preparationC. pleasant introductionD.amazing imagination( ) 34. The passage is mainly about .A. view of the AntarcticaB. exploring the AntarcticaC. how to survive in the AntarcticaD. climate changes of the AntarcticaDEvery kid wishes to be an adult. Do you remember playing house as a child-pretending to be a grown-up like your parents? Did you imagine you were a doctor, a soldier or a teacher? At that time, anything seemed more exciting than being young.But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become“kidults”(kid+adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle-choice among young people across Asia.Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory(附属品).Other kidults still enjoy children’s stories and fairy tales. For example, Bloomsbury even published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children’s book.“Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure child-likeemotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society,” said Lee So-jung, a professor at Hankuk University(韩国外国语大学) of Foreign Studies.He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together.Tim Greenhalgh, an adviser in London explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They hold on to childhood because working life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.“So, they can escape from increasingly busy and stressful lives that are hard to deal with, “Greenhalgh said. ( ) 35.Why does a kid wish to be an adult?A.Because he wants to be independent.B.Because he doesn’t want to be controlled by adults.C.Because he wants to experience the real world.D.Because he believes there will be more exciting life ahead.( ) 36. What can we infer from the passage?A.Some Kidults refuse to grow up.B.Some Kidults in Britain like reading on the subway.C.Some Kidults think childhood is the best time of their life.D.All Kidults want to escape from the busy and stressful life.( ) 37. One of the advantages of the kidult culture is that .A.it can make adults face the real social lifeB.it can make our society young and full of lifeC.it can increase the sales of child ren’s booksD.it can lead to harmonious relationship between adults and kids( ) 38. In the opinion of the Professor in a Korean University, kidults are .A. Immature(不成熟)and weakB. necessary to our societyC. looked down uponD. getting more and moreEP hyllis Wheatley is regarded as America’s first black poet. She was born in Senegal, Africa in about 1753 and brought to America at about the age of seven. John and Susannah Wheatley bought her for three pounds at a slave ( 奴隶) market in Boston in 1761. Phyllis was soon accepted as one of the family, which included being raised and educated with the Wheatley’s twin 15-year-old children, Mary and Nathaniel. At that time, most females, even from better families, could not read and write, but Mary was probably one of the best educated young women in Boston.Mary wanted to become a teacher, and in fact, it was Mary who decided to take charge of Phyllis Wheatley’s education. Phyllis soon showed her remarkable talents. At the age of twelve she was reading the Greek and Latin classics. At the age of thirteen, Phyllis wrote her first poem. She became a Boston sensation (引起轰动的人物) after she wrote a poem on the death of the preacher George Whitfield in 1770. It became common to read Phyllis Wheatley’s poetry in polite society. Mary had tried to interest publishers in Phyllis Wheatley’s poems, but once they heard she was black they weren’t interested.Then in 1773 Phyllis went with Nathaniel, who was now a businessman, to London. Thirty-nine of her poems were published in London as Poems on Various Subjects. It was the first book published by a black American. In 1775, Phyllis wrote a poem about George Washington and sent it to him. He responded by praising her talents and inviting her to visit his headquarters. After both of her benefactors (恩人) died in 1777 and in 1778, Phyllis was feed. She married in 1778, and had three children But after the unhappy marriage, she moved back to Boston, and died in poverty in 1783.( ) 39. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.Those days the black were looked down upon.B.Phyllis read a lot of books when she was young.C.Phyllis didn’t move away from Boston until she got married.D.Phyllis Wheatley’s first poem interested and excited the public.( ) 40.

Is it because the bed is uncomfortable? Maybe, but perhaps there can be other reasons.According to a new study published in Current Biology, a significant reason is what the scientists call “first night effect”. They believe that one side of the brain acts as a “night watch” to warn us about potential (潜在的) dangers. It forces us to stay awake on the first night in a new environment.For the study, 35 young volunteers were asked to sleep in a sleep lab for several days. Meanwhile, researchers watched their brain activities.According to the researchers, on their first night, the left brains were more active than the right brains and people had a hard time sleeping. However, left-brain activity decreased as days went by, falling even to the point of complete calm. In this process, the participants got an increasingly better sleep experience.The findings suggest that the different rhythms (节奏) of the sides of the brain affect our sleep. When the two sides work differently, the balance between them is broken. Thus, the brain can’t relax a nd is sensitive to anything strange in the surroundings, just as it is in daytime.“At some level, the brain is continuing to analyze things, even though you are not aware of the analysis,” US professor Jerome Siegel told Smithsonian Magazine.” If somethin g unusual happens - if a door opens or you hear a key in a lock - you can be alert (警惕的), even though the intensity (强度) of the stimulus is quite low.”More surprisingly, this phenomenon is similar to the way some animals sleep. Whales, dolphins, and many birds can sleep with half of their brain while the other half stays awake, with its corresponding eye staying open.The researchers think that it is the result of evolution (进化), and works to protect us in potentially dangerous environments.If you have e ver had what you think is “first night effect”, researchers suggest that you bring your own pillow or sleep in a room similar to your bedroom next time you sleep away from home.( ) 42. What did the new study published in Current Biology find?A.A comfortable bed could help people sleep well in a new environment.B.Most people could sleep well in a new environment after the first night.C.Brain activities affected people’s sleep in a new environment.D.The right brain determined how well people slept in a new environment.( ) 43. What was found out about the volunteers?A.Their left brains were more active on the first night.B.Their right brains became more active as days went by.C.Their right brains kept them awake the whole night.D.They slept better in the sleep lab than at home.( ) 44. What do the researchers think makes the brain sensitive to new things?A.The bad sleep experiences people have had.B.The tiredness that people suffer from in daytime.C.The imbalance between the two sides of the brain.D.The strangeness of the things that people come across.( ) 45. What do the researchers think of “first night effect”?A.It has evolved as a way to protect us.B.It’s a characteristic that animals don’t have.C.It’s completely different from the way animals sleep.D.It helps people to get used to new environments quickly.第II 卷(主观题共55 分)四、词汇(共15 小题;满分25 分)A)根据音标或者汉语提示，补全单词，使句子完整正确。

Virtual and augmented（增强的）realities are together known as mixed reality (MR). “American footballers are already using VR to better train their minds andread the field,” Ludden said. “This can allow players to perfect their skills without risking injury.”Canadian company D-BOX Technologies designs and produces moving seats found in cinema and theme parks. It is now moving into sports, and shows its Formula One (F1) racing simulator（模拟器）. The seats stimulate the force of gravity, speed and every shaking as Fl champion Lewis Hamilton zips around city streets.A simulation seat uses pre-programed data now. Someday, though, it could use real-time information sent by the car. “They couldbroadcast live content through a network in pop-up theaters around the world,” Ludden said.Say you want to experience the true stress of a batter being up against major-league baseball pitcher. “You can have a heartbeat added to the sensation on the seat and then you can feel it, boom, boom,” Maheu explained. “When he swings and hits the ball, you can have an impact.”One day, fans around the world could physically experience every game from their favorite player in real time. Ludden said that current and near-future technology could create “augmented stadiums” for live audiences. Panasonic launched its “Smart Venue” plans which included the overlaying of graphics, advertisements, player statistics and replays on the field of play at a pro football game. “If you are seated in the cheap seats, you can see this really useful.” “Fans may someday join in stadium wide games, using the field as a virtual gaming platform,” Ludden added.4. What does the underlined phrase “read the field” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Get off the playing field.B. Build up a football court.C. Judge the situation on the field.D. Ask players to play on the spot.5. What does Maheu think audiences can do in the future baseball game?A. Enjoy live content in any theater.B. Program the simulation seats in advance.C. Control the force and speed of the baseball.D. Experience the real time game with the player.6. What does Ludden mainly describe in the last paragraph?A. The origin of VR.B. A future stadium.C. An advertisement platform.D. The expectations of audiences.7. What is the main idea of the text?A. VR can improve players' skills for sports.B. VR increases fans' joy in the baseball game.C. VR can improve sports experience for players and fans.D. VR promises a new future for football players and games.CIn a recent survey of 2000 Americans, housecleaning was shown to have some mood-boosting effects — but that doesn't mean everybody is willing to do it.The majority of respondents (受访者) said cleaning gave them a sense of accomplishment (65%) and helped them clear their mind (63%). Half of these adults said they are most often motivated to clean when they're happy.In fact, 63% of those surveyed find the experience of cleaning to be relaxing - even more so than getting fresh air (61%).But that's not the only reason people clean. A big 70% admitted that tidying their home was a way of putting off having to do other things, with the average procrastinator (拖延者) using that trick four times a week. The survey showed that 86% of respondents do feel on top of their housework, but the last deep clean of their kitchen happened over a week and a half ago. That's no surprise because the kitchen is most terrible of all.Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of DishFish, the survey investigated people's attitudes toward dirty dishes and how they get through tricky task. More than two-thirds of people (69%) let their dishes pile up between washings with 20% saying “always” letting them be placed in the sink, which left them feeling stressed. More than any other room, the kitchen was rated as “very difficult” to cope with. And most people enjoy cleaning their toilet or taking out the garbage more than washing dishes by hand.How do they get through it? 66% listen to music while they clean. 72% have a best-loved song that they sounded while tidying up their home, with “Uptown Funk,”“Read All About It” and “Work” being the three favorite tunes on America's cleaning playlist.8. What is the result of the survey?A. Housecleaning may contribute to a good mood to some extent.B. Housecleaning may strengthen people's willingness to volunteer.C. Housecleaning may cause anxiety and concern for some people.D. Housecleaning may improve people's motivation to other housework.9. What is the top reason why people undertake housecleaning?A. They can entertain themselves.B. They can take in fresh air.C. They get a sense of achievement.D. They can delay other things.10. What are respondents' attitudes to dirty dishes?A. Many would rather wash dishes than throw out the rubbish.B. Half are under pressure with dirty dishes lying in the sink.C. A quarter will let dirty dishes pile up after their meals.D. Most prefer cleaning their toiletto washing dishes by hand.11. What column does the text belong to?A. Feature Story.B. Family Life.C. Scientific Hotspot.D. Finance Focus.DTexas has been one of the most restrictive gun-rights states in America.Thanks to a new law,however,the state will be one of the most relaxed,to the degree that police are discouraged from even asking about someone's guns. And if they do, they may not have much power to do anything if the person refuses to show a license.To be sure, the law is strict in its own way,offering a model for regulation. Under the law, open-carry citizens have to be licensed, a process that includes safety and shooting tests. They also have to show no prior psychological problems, and they have to be at least 21 years old.It is true that gun violence dropped sharply after restrictive laws were put in place in countries like Great Britain and Australia. However,the US public seems more interested than ever in weapons and the power they convey,despite gun control groups' concern over the increase of violence. Most states in America have steadily expanded gun rights since the end of a 10-year assault(攻击)weapons ban in 2004. Black Friday this year saw the biggest gun cache(贮存)ever purchased in one day.Considering those trends,there's a heated debate about whether the new Texas law is a model piece of legislation(立法)for a changing America,or a walking disaster just begging for trouble. As the law doesn't provide any punishment for those who refuse to show a license to a police officer, critics fear that officers may find it tough to handle potentially deadly situations. After all, armed citizens will no longer be considered suspicious, even though a lot of people might be alarmed by the sight. Most police in Texas have been told to not engage gun carriers unless they are doing something questionable or appear drunk.For sure,New Year's Day will be an exciting one for Texas gun owners. What's not yet known is how the rest of Texas will respond.12. All of the following are required in the new Texas law for open carry EXCEPTA. age limitB. mental conditionC. online registrationD. gun-operating skills13. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?A. The reason for putting forward the new Texas law.B. The present situation of gun possession in America.C. The impact of the assault weapons ban in 2004.D. The inaction of the US government as to gun control.14. What do critics think the new Texas law will probably lead to?A. Heavier workload for policemen.B. Disrespect for officers.C. Lack of trust among citizens.D. Difficulty in crime prevention.15. What is the author's attitude towards the new Texas law?A. Negative.B. Cautious.C. Indifferent.D. Approving.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

江苏省南京地区2019-2020年上学期八年级英语期中试卷分类汇编：任务型阅读(包含答案)
南京地区2019-2020年上学期八年级英语期中试卷分类汇编任务型阅读江宁区New rules and behavior standards (行为规范) for middle school students came out in March. Who are the most excellent students? The middle school uses a new way to decide them. The best students won’t only have high marks. They will also be kids who don’t dye (染) their hair, smoke or drink. The following are some of the new rules.Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else’s work on an exam? Don’t do it again. That’s not something an honest student should do. I f you have played computer games for two hours in your room,don’t tell your parents you have done your homework.Do more at school. Good students love animals and care for others. April is Bird-Loving Month in China. Is your school doing anything to celebrate? You should join ! That way, you can learn more about animals and how to protect them. When more people work together, it makes it more fun for everyone. Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Maybe you discover Earth someday. Don’t look down on new ideas. Everyone’s ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone.Use the Internet carefully. Try not to look at Web pages that are bad for you. You can use Web for homew ork. Can’t you find good Web sites for children?1. excellent2. honest3. join4. open5. good玄武区（9中13中）Have you ever regretted (后悔) what you did in the past? Anyone around you will have no difficulty in telling his regrets. As we get older, we look back and wish that we had made better choices. What can we do to avoid (避免) future regrets?Make better plansIf you begin to do something, you need to make a plan before doing it. The earlier, the better. You will know what comes first and what comes last. You’ll also know what you should do and what you shouldn’t do. If changes happen, you can have more time to deal with (处理) them.Live a more active lifeYou can go around more often. More outdoor activities can keep you relaxed. Keep in mind that you need to be kind. “Thank you” can bring a smile to someone’s face. Learn to say “sorry” and don’t be angry with others.Find the right friendA friend may make your life and he or she can break your life as well. So you need to think twice when you choose a friend. Good friends will always better your ideasWhen you have problems, ask others for help. That little help may get you good results.Never fear failure (失败)Everybody fails. Even the greatest person failed. We should not fear failure，because failure is not the end of the road. We must take failure as a chance (机会) to learn and improve (提高) ourselves.Life is good. We don’t have to live in our past, but we do hope that we can plan better, live better, and work better when we have the chance to do so.71. How/Ways 72. beginning 73. shouldn’t 74. actively 75. Remember 76. Find 77. twice 78. with 79. afraid 80. better浦口区第二中学A) 根据短文内容, 完成表格（一空一词）Some people learn a second language easily. Other people have trouble learning a new language. How can you help yourself learn a new language, such as English? There are several ways to make learning English easier and more interesting.The first step is to feel confident about learning English. If you believe that you can learn well, you will learn well. Be patient. You don’t have to understand everything all at once. It is natural to make mistakes when you learn something new. We can learn from our mistakes. In other words, do not worry about taking risks.The second step is to practice your English. For example, keep a diary or make notes every day. You will be used to writing in English, and you will feel comfortable expressing your ideas in English After several weeks, you will see’ that your writing is improving. In addition, you must speak English every day. You can practice with your classmates outside class. You will all make mistakes, but gradually you will become comfortable communicating in English The third step is to keep a record of your language learning. You can write this in your diary. After each class, think about what you did. Did you answer a question correctly? Did you understand something the teacher explained? Perhaps the lesson was difficult, but you tried to understand it. Write these achievements in your diary.You must have confidence about learning English and believe that you can do it. It’s important to practice every day and make a record of your achievements.

As water becomes less and is polluted (污染的) more, conservation (保护) becomes more and more important. If people keep wasting water, more water needs to be treated and cleaned. This process (过程) needs quite a lot of money.As it is said above, cutting down on water usage is one of the most important things you can do for your local environment. That is why more green families are going blue by conserving andharvesting water.It may seem like a big concept (概念), but going blue starts with small changes. Something as simple as turning off the tap when you brush your teeth can save a lot of water. Wash your fruits and vegetables in a bowl instead of under a tap to save even more. Make sure that the taps are fully turned off every time you step away.Another way of reducing water usage is reducing your dependence on the main water supply. Rainwater harvesting can meet a lot o f your home’s water needs.

In fact, we are maybe 16 or 17 years old. In their eyes, we are always little ones and always do wrong things. For example, when I need to stay at home alone, they always worry about me and my life without them.Most parents always think that they have offered the best things they can to make their children live a comfortable life. They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes, expensive school things, and often a thousand-yuan-cost bike. They think that they have done everything that they can for their children. In return, they only want their children to get good results in the examinations.But why their children still can’t understand them? Does it mean that they still want more material things? No. As a matter of fact, what they want is a true family. What does a true family mean? I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the cold world outside. From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation (安慰), and we can get happiness. And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident in the outside world because we know that we have a family.So I think that parents should save their money and sit down to talk with their children to let them know that they have a true family, so the children and their parents could understand each other more and more. Then, no children will be regarded as little ones.71. between 72. eyes 73. comfortably 74. return 75. needs/thoughts 76. fact 77. confidence 78.

If so, then you know what stress is. Stress is what you feel when you are worried about something. This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, sad, scared, or afraid—all of which can give you a stomachache or a headache.However, there are different kinds of stress. Some kinds of stress are good and others are bad. Good stress might happen when you’re called to answer questions in class or when you have to give a speech. This kind of stress can help you to get things done. For example, you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to prepare better before the test.On the other hand, bad stress can happen if the stress lasts too long. You may not feel well if your parents are fighting, if a family member is sick, if you’re having problems at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy every day. That kind of stress isn’t going to help you. And it can actually make you sick.The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life. Make sure you keep your SELF in mind: Sleep, Exercise, Leisure ( 体闲), and Food. If you get enough sleep and eat properly, and if you exercise and leave time for fun, you’ll probably feel less stressed.66. feeling 67. mind 68. speak 69. helpful 70. prepare 71. lasts 72. sickness 73. stop/ prevent/ keep74. proper 75. exercise建邺区南师新城中学Military training is not just a Chinese tradition. Students in other countries also have it. Let’s take a look!China | Military training in China usually teaches students things like standing at attention (站军姿), goose-stepping (正步走) and folding a quilt (叠被子). Some students say that it is not useful. But others feel it encourages them to be more independent (独立的) and responsible (有责任感的).The US | US schools don't force (强迫) students to take military training. If children are interested in the military, they can attend military camps. These activities help children work in a team and encourage them to work out problems on their own. For example, a group might have the task of climbing over (翻越) a high wall. If even one person cannot climb over the wall, the whole group needs to do it again. So everyone must help each other and finish the task together.The UK | The UK pays attention to military training for students, especially college students.There are Officer Training Corps (军官训练员, OTC) in some universities. In the OTC, students can learn military skills like first aid (急救), weapons (武器) training and radio communications (无线电通讯). Students can make money by taking part in military exercises. They can earn up to ￡60 per day.71. __________ 72. __________ 73. __________ 74. __________ 75. __________76. __________ 77. __________ 78. __________ 79. __________ 80. __________71. countries 72.
