某某省某某市2020-2021学年下学期八年级英语期中试卷分类汇编任务型阅读某某省泰兴市济川初级中学2020-2021学年八年级下学期期中考试英语试题六、任务型阅读（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分）Recently five Chinese teachers were invited to teach a group of British teenagers, using Chinese teaching methods. It has caused a great discussion in China and in many countries of the West. What can educators learn from each other? Forum（论坛）readers share their opinions.Ted M（UK）Students in China are raised to study for long hours, with great expectations （期望）and demands. Yet they have little social life and there is no encouragement for joy of lifelong learning. In the West, students are taught to enjoy learning, questioning, active learning and problem solving. They have a broad and balanced education, including social learning.Leonard Wong（Singapore）The Chinese language requires rote（死记硬背）learning. It seems boring, but it trains the mind to focus（关注）on what is important and good study habits. These habits offer them a lot even at a later age. More could be done to encourage children to express their opinions about the things they meet.Michael M（US）My personal belief is that the biggest advantages of Chinese secondary education are:1. Longer hours at school.2. Full of challenges.3. Students are expected higher.4. More lecture-based lessons. This is great preparation for college.TAL123（China）If I had a child, I think I’d consider Chinese education for part of their learning. I think the middle school years are a good time for them to develop strong basic skills in math, reading and memory, etc, that the Chinese system teaches well. But children need the freedom to explore, express, inquire and understand. In my view, the chief weakness in China’s system is that students usually can’t do thingsby themselves. Students do not bee good learners, they only bee good test takers.Different people have different opinions on what is right and wrong with teaching and learning. Each country has its own unique（独特的）educational culture that is a product of years, centuries of experiment and practice, and which reflects（反映）the traditional values of its society.某某省兴化市2020-2021学年八年级下学期期中考试英语试题五、任务型阅读阅读下面的材料, 根据材料内容完成表格, 每空1词, 每词1分, 共10分In the USA, there are many kinds of restaurants.Fast food restaurants are very famous. You can find McDonald's and Kentucky FriedChicken in many countries around the world. You look at a menu（菜单）on the counter （柜台）. and say what you'd like to eat. You pay the person who brings food to you. You take your food and sit down or take it away. There's no need to leave a tip （小费）.In a coffee shop, you sit at the counter or at a table. You don't wait for the waitress to show you where to sit. She usually brings you coffee when you sit down. You tell her what you'd like to eat and she brings it to you. You pay the cashier （收银员）as you leave.In a family restaurant, the waitress shows you where you can sit. Often the waitress tells you her name, but you don't need to tell her your name. If you can't finish eating everything, your waitress gives you a doggy bag to take the rest of food home. You should add fifteen per cent to the bill （账单）as a tip.In top class restaurants, you had better order before you e, and you need to arrive on time. The waiter shows you where to sit. If you have wine there, he may ask you to taste it. You can only refuse it if it tastes bad. When you get your bill, check it and then add fifteen to twenty per cent to it as a tip for the waiter.restaurants will how you where to sit. ●You can refuse the wine if it doesn't taste_78 $200, you can givethe 79 a tip from$30 to $ 40.某某省某某市姜堰区2020-2021学年八年级下学期期中考试英语试题六、任务型阅读 阅读短文，完成表格，每空一词。
