the lights，pull up the covers and close their eyes. Six or seven sleeping hours later，they wake up again. Strange，isn't it? Sleep puzzles science. Scientists and doctors would rather talk about why one can't fall asleep. They are not sure what causes sleep. The best conditions for sleep are good health and meals neither too big nor too small. No worries and a comfortable place are important，too. They advise against two in bed. Strange things happen during sleep. For example，they move often. You would feel tired if you didn't. You also dream. Part of your brain is still awake when you dream. Dreaming happens when the memory and imagination in parts of your brain are still awake. Experiments have shown most of us dream in color. Bad dreams may be caused by stomachache. Don't worry if you dream. Some great stories and poems were begun while their writers slept. 1. Sleep puzzles scientists because they are not certain ___________. A. why one can't fall asleep B. why one wakes up C. both A and B D. what causes sleep 2.

C 参见第三段第三句“You would feel tired if you didn't.” 4. B 文章贯穿始终，第二段第一句已指出：“Sleep puzzles science.” 阅读理解18 The aim(目的) of students who came to school is to study. But to

study requires(需要) a right way，or you waste either the time or the money. The following are the ways of studying. The best time for reading is morning，because in the morning，the air is fresh and the mind is clear. For that reason，we can get good result(结果). In studying we must have patience(耐心). If we have not known a text well，we must read it again. We should not read the next one till we have learned the first one. When we are studying，we must put our hearts into the book，or we can get nothing from the book while we are reading. We must always ask “whys”. If it is not well understood，write it down and ask our teachers or our parents，or friends. In any possible way，we must know it completely and what we've learned can be used well and made better.

Since then, Barbie doll, as everyone called her, has become the most successful toy doll in history. Her parent, the Mattel Company, said that 90G of all American girls between 3 and 10 have at least one Barbie at home.However, Barbie is facing some trouble at present. There are many similar dolls on the market in competition with her. Another doll named Bratz, for example, came to life about sixteen years ago. She looks more like today's pop stars with heavy makeup（浓妆） and miniskirts. And her company offers more kinds of clothes.It seems that Barbie has lost her magic among older girls. "For younger girls, playing with a Barbie is much funnier. But when you get older, you want something smarter and more modern," says Vera Shepherd, a shop assistant of a toy store in New York.It is good news that on the international market, Barbie is still No. 1. Although Mattel is selling fewer Barbies in the United States these years, sales in other countries are still going up. Mattel opened its first Barbie store in Shanghai, where girls can shop, eat, drink or even become fashion designers for their own Barbies.Mattel is planning big celebrations for Barbie's 58th birthday. Fashion designers from all over the world have been called to make new dresses for Barbie. How long will Barbie stay popular in the world of toy dolls?

译林版八年级下册英语Unit 4 Reading知识点及练习(含答案)

青少年应如何正确使用手机演讲稿尊敬的老师、亲爱的同学们：
大家好！今天我想和大家谈谈一个现代青少年都面临的问题——手机的正确使用。

手机作为一种现代科技产品，已经成为我们生活中不可或缺的一部分。

但是，正确使用手机却是一个需要我们认真思考和努力实践的问题。

首先，手机的正确使用需要我们明确它的作用和限制。

手机作为一种通讯工具，可以帮助我们与家人、朋友保持联系，获取信息和知识。

但是，它并不是生活的全部。

我们不能沉迷于手机，忽略了身边的人和事。

我们要学会控制使用手机的时间，合理安排生活和学习，不能让手机成为我们的负担和累赘。

其次，正确使用手机需要我们保护个人隐私和信息安全。

在使用手机的过程中，我们要注意保护个人隐私，不要随意泄露自己的个人信息。

同时，我们也要加强手机信息安全意识，不要随意下载不明来源的软件和点击不明链接，以免给自己带来不必要的麻烦和损失。

最后，正确使用手机需要我们遵守社会公德和法律法规。

在使用手机的过程中，我们要尊重他人，不要在公共场合大声喧哗或打电话，不要在课堂上偷偷玩手机。

同时，我们也要遵守网络道德和法律法规，不要传播不良信息、违法信息，不要参与网络欺凌和网络暴力行为。

总之，正确使用手机是我们每个青少年都应该认真思考和努力实践的问题。

我们要明确手机的作用和限制，保护个人隐私和信息安全，遵守社会公德和法律法规。

只有这样，我们才能充分发挥手机的作用，让它成为我们生活和学习的助手，而不是我们的累赘和负担。

谢谢大家！。

牛津译林版八年级下英语《阅读理解》期末专题练习含答案

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 noticeda 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.

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 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. 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. The underlined word "vegetarian" in the first paragraph most probably means " ".A. a person who eats healthy foodB. a person who eats meat and vegetablesC. a person 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 statement is TRUE according to the article?A. Doctors suggest switching to totally vegetarian diets.B. It takes more water and land to produce a kilo of crops.C. Farm animals give off methane 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 vegetarian dietB. animal sourceC. necessary vitaminD. health reason( )5. The main idea of the article is that .A. our diet is destroying the surroundingsB. raising farm animals affects the environmentC. a vegetarian diet helps to protect the environmentD. more and more people are becoming strict vegetarians（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 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. " Both are love that forces me to improve. In fact，all of us in life need both loving force.( )1. What did the mother think of the Buddy's poem?A. She was so moved that she cried.B. She thought the poem was well written.C. She considered Buddy had no talent for poetry.D. She believed Buddy needed advice from his father.( )2. The underlined sentence "My father held his ground" may means " ".A. My father began to explain his reasonsB. My father got so angry that he stood upC. My father refused to change his thoughtsD.

Which of the following is RIGHT?A. A few months later, the writer stopped writing.B. After years the writer hated his father very much.C. That day father didn't come home until a quarter past eight.D. The writer was confident that father would praise his poem.（7）Today there are many more fires than in the past. 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 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.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 carsCountless 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 you have 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. If you join a blank drive, you can .A. collect donations for the homeless peopleB. bring a blanket to go on a tripC. buy a home for homeless peopleD. keep yourself from the cold( )2.

What is the author's talent?A. Sewing.B. Writing.C. Baking.D. Knitting.( )5. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Make a Difference in Your Holiday SeasonB. Make the Best of TalentC. Enjoy Your Holiday SeasonD. Help Others in NeedIt is widely agreed that the cover-use of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil has caused seriousenvironmental problems. Scientists are trying to find new clean energies that do not pollute the 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。
