But like everyone else in my graduating class, I had watched the economy（经济状况）turn from bad to worse in my fourth year of university.I knew my small university town couldn't offer me any opportunities, so I drove to southern California to find work. But what I thought would take a week lasted for two weeks, and then four weeks, and I found myself in the same spot I was in before.You know that feeling when you wake up and you are full of fear Fear about something you can't control. You hope that everything that has happened to you so far is just a bad dream. So what did I do to stay calm I wrote.

Chen Lu, Wu Xinna and Liao Siqi, all 17 years old, wrote a proposal to set up more automated external defibrillators （AEDs自动体外除颤仪）in public places. AEDs are medical devices that help those who experience sudden cardiac attacks （心脏病发作）. They're easy enough to use so that anyone can use one on a patient before an ambulance arrives."The number of sudden cardiac deaths in China each year is about 544，000. And according to international standards, there should be 100 AEDs for every 100，000 people. But in China, there are less than 0.5，" Chen said.The three girls spent six months working on the proposal. After doing fieldwork at train stations, shopping malls and other public places, they brought up four suggestions.One is to set up AEDs step-by-step in different places. For example, schools could receive them first, followed by other places with lots of foot traffic. Another suggestion is to train more people to use AEDs. Organizations like the Red Cross Society of China can show people how to use the devices in schools and companies. TV stations and social media can provide video instructions on how to use AEDs. Tech companies could even make AED apps or mini programs to help people find the devices in an emergency （紧急情况）.19.. Why do the students write the proposal to the CPPCC？______A. To bring up suggestions.B. To save people with a heart condition.C. To set up medical organization.D. To give people better life.20.. What's the Chinese for the underlined word "fieldwork" in Paragraph 4？______A. 田间工作B. 实地考察C. 工厂车间D. 野战工事21.. Which is not mentioned about training more people to use AEDs？______A. The Red Cross Society of China.B. Social media.C. Text booksD. Tech companies三、任务型阅读-简答（本大题共1小题，共9.0分）22.High school entrance exams mainly focus on basic subjects, such as math and Chinese.But by 2022，these exams will also feature subjects like music and art.At a press conference （发布会）held by the Ministry of Education （MOE）on Oct 16，a senior official said that all high school entrance exams should include fine arts testing by 2022. He added that 12 cities in six provinces have started the practice, _______ Nanjing and Qingdao, with scores varying from 10 to 40 points, Xinhua reported.This is being done to encourage primary and secondary schools to provide more fine arts classes. They should cover subjects such as music, painting, handwriting, dance, drama and opera.Learning about the fine arts can help students learn to appreciate artistic beauty, which is good for their mental （心理）health, according to the MOE.However, not everyone agrees. Some parents say that students already have heavy basic workloads （学习压力），and that adding new testing material would make things worse.It was also pointed out that not every student will be talented enough to be good at these subjects.In response to this, Jiangsu province authorities （主管部门）said that the tests will be based on basic knowledge that comes from the students' textbooks. The additional （额外的）workload will not be difficult and shouldn't put too much pressure on students, China Business Herald noted.. What subjects will be added in the high school entrance exams by 2022（根据短文回答问题）______. 请在文中横线上填入一个适当的单词______. What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 3 refer to （指代）？______. 请将文中划线句子翻译成汉语。

Veterans Day.BCOLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) —During his leisure time, Mahinda Dasanayaka packs his motorbike with books and rides his mobile library—across mostly muddy roads running through tea-growing mountain areas—to underprivileged children in backward rural parts of Sri Lanka.Having witnessed the hardships faced by children whose villages have no library facilities, Dasanayaka, a child protection officer for the government, was looking for ways to help them. Then three years ago, he launched his program, called "Book and Me”.He purchased a second-hand Honda motorbike for 30,000 Sri Lankan rupees($162), On his off days—mostly during weekends—he rides his motorbike, which is fixed with a steel box to hold books, to rural villages and distributes the reading material to children free of charge.He began the pro gram in 2017 with 150 books—some of his own and others donated by friends colleagues and well-wishers. His collection includes about 3,000 books on a variety of subjects. So far, he said, his program has benefited more than 1 ,500 children, as well as about 150 adults.“I wanted to do something for children who are burdened with an exam-centered education. . . And to change the way kids look at society, to change their perspectives and broaden their imagination, M he said.Apart from giving away books, Dasanayaka also speaks to the children for a few minutes, usually under a roadside tree, highlighting the value of reading, books and authors. He then conducts a discussion on books the children have read, with the aim of eventually forming reading clubs.While Dasanayaka spends his own money on his program, he is not wealthy, with a take- home income of 20,000 rupees ( $108 ) a month from his job. He said he spends about a quarter of that on gasoline for his mobile library.4. How did Dasanayaka start "Book and Me”?A. With a large sum of money.B. With a used motorbike and 150 books.C. By subscribing to books for children.D. By borrowing a steel box from his workmate.5. What do we know about Dasanayaka from his words in Paragraph 5?A. He is uncertain about his program.B. He is trying to better kids' living conditions.C. He is seeking to change kids' ways of thinking.D. He is optimistic about the existing schooling system.6. Why does Dasanayaka hold discussions on books kids read?A. To keep in touch with them.B. To prepare to start reading clubs.C. To check their reading assignments.D. To know about their preferences of books.7. What is the best title for the text?A. A Reading ProgramB. An Education OfficerC. A Library on WheelsD. A Motorbike on RoadCYou've likely encountered the humblebrag before-boasting （吹嘘）disguised as a complaint, such as："I'm having such a stressful day. I got two job offers and I don't know what to do.”This is a typical example of humblebragging, a term coined by comedic writer Harris Wittels referring to “ a specific type of boast that allows the offender to broadcast their achievements without the necessary shame and guilt that should normally accompany such claims.” In simpler terms, it's a way to disguise a boast with some humility. Humblebragging comes in two different forms. The first is humility-based, an example being, "can't believe I got the highest grade in my class”. The second type comes mixed with a bit of complaint, for example, " I can't believe that shopkeeper asked me for ID. I'm 25 !”People don't like when others humblebrag because they find they are lacking in sincerity. Sincerity is a critical dimension of social evaluation, which is viewed as fundamental to people's identity. In fact, people prize sincerity even above competence and warmth in others, according to Dr. Sezer.If humblebragging doesn't work, and no one likes it, why do we still do it? We all want to highlight our positive qualities without seeming proud. By speaking in a complaint or an expression of humility, we hope we'll somehow land on the “ sweet spot" of self-presentation ：promoting ourselves while also conveying likability. In addition, research suggests that people may experience positive emotions while humblebragging.Considering that we're all likely to feel the urge to humblebrag, at least to some extent, the proper response when we hear a friend doing it may be to simply let it go-because ultimately we're going to do it ourselves, and who really wants to be called out on it?8. Which of the following remarks is an example of humblebragging?A. How I hate hearing my voice on TV!B. I'm thrilled to be awarded the first prize.C. I'm the only person to get promoted in the firm.D. How I dislike doing the same thing every day!9. Which can best describe people's impression of humblebraggers?A. Honest.B. Humble.C. Insincere.D. Incapable.310. Why do people humblebrag?A. To lift up their spirits.B. To express their complaints.C. To improve their moral qualities.D. To show off without bringing annoyance.11. What are people advised to do when hearing humblebragging from a friend?A. Follow it up.B. Leave it alone.C. Turn against it.D. Get to the root of it.DThe twilight zone （朦胧地带）contains the largest and least explored fish stocks （储备）of the world's oceans. Ranging from just below 200 metres to 1 ,000 metres deep, it is an interface between the well-studied sea life in the sunlit zone above and the ecosystems of the darkest territory below. It has a major role in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it for centuries or longer. The twilight zone is also known to the largest migration on Earth. Huge numbers of fishes and zooplankton （浮游动物）move hundreds of metres towards the surface each night to feed, before withdrawing back down at dawn.Yet the zone is poorly understood — physically, biogeochemically and ecologically. Even the number of organisms that live there remains a mystery, let alone their diversity and function.It is alarming, then, that this vast ocean domain is at risk in three ways-even before any of the potential consequences are understood. First, the world's growing population has an increasing need for food. Second, sea-floor mining for minerals and metals could release waste into the region. And third, climate change is varying temperature, acidification and oxygen levels in ways that are likely to affect life there.The twilight zone is hard Io study. Its organisms are difficult to sample and analyse, being thinly distributed, almost invisible and often fragile. They also live at pressures of up to 100 atmospheres, which poses problems for laboratory-based investigations.Critics might argue that walers near coasts and above shelves are more deserving of study, given the huge environmental pressures there, as well as their importance to societies. And, of course, they need attention. Sadly, however, it is too late to avoid widespread environmental damage to these inshore regions. Instead, research efforts and local policies must aim at minimizing the worst effects.By contrast, the twilight zone is almost left in its original condition. Moreover, the majority of it lies beyond national administration. This makes it of common interest and responsibility, and means that global agreement is necessary to manage it.12. What can we learn about the twilight zone?A. It has the least fish stocks.B. It reduces atmosphere's carbon dioxide.C. It lies at the bottom of sea.D. Il is located above the sunlit zone.13. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?A. Where global warming leads us.B. Why high food consumption arises.C. How the twilight zone is threatened.D. What impacts pollution has on ocean.14. What does the underlined word "it” in the last paragraph refer to?A. The twilight zone.B. The inshore area.C. Its original condition.D. National administration.15. Which statement does the author agree with?A. International cooperation is essential.B. Inshore regions deserve more attention.C. Global agreement has been reached.D. Study on the twilight zone is out of the question.第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

山东省潍坊一中初中英语八年级上册 Unit 1经典测试题(含答案解析)
一、选择题1．---______ you ______ to Sanya last summer vacation?---No, I didn’t.A．Did; go B．Did; went C．Do; go D．Do; went A解析：A【解析】【详解】句意：——去年暑假你去三亚了吗？——不，我没有。
本题的时间状语为last summer vacation，是过去发生的事情，因此用过去时；本题的句式为一般疑问句，而且是行为动词作谓语的，故用助动词Did来完成，排除C/D；在Did构成的一般疑问句中，后面的单词用原形。
故选A。
2．I studied _____ the math test last weekend.A．on B．at C．for D．in C解析：C【详解】句意：上周，我为数学考试而学习。
A. on在……上； B. at在，用在时间前；C. for 为了……；D. in在……里。
study for 为……而学习。
for表目的，根据句意。
故选 C。
3．---When ______ you ______ for school yesterday morning?---At half past six.A．does; leave B．did; leave C．Did; left D．does; left B解析：B【解析】【详解】句意：——你昨天早上什么时候动身去学校的？——六点半。
由yesterday morning可知，本题的时态为过去时，因此排除A；因为是行为动词leave作谓语，故用助动词did来构成特殊疑问句，排除D；再由did构成的特殊疑问句中，后面的动词用原形。
故选B。
4．—How was your vacation?—________.I liked it very much.A．Very bad B．I'm fine C．Great D．Have a good time C 解析：C【详解】句意：——你假期过得怎么样？——太好了。
