拓展阅读（一）Measuring QomolangmaIn 1856, a British survey team measured the height of Qomolangma, also known as Mount Everest in the West. While this initial result showed that Qomolangma reached a height of 8,840 meters above sea level, the exact measurement of the world’s highest mountain has never been settled.In 1955, the figure was adjusted by an Indian survey team to 8,848 meters, and later to 8,850 meters according to a US team in 1999. And in 2005, a Chinese team calculated a height of 8,844 meters, but that result wasn’t widely accepted either.On May 6, a 30-member Chinese survey team set out to reach the peak of Qomolangma, equipped with the latest technology – including a Global Navigation Satellite System receiver and a radar to measure the mountain’s snow cap – and is determined to settle the dispute.But measuring Qomolangma is no easy task. The average air temperature there is -29 C – four degrees lower than in Antarctica – and hurricane-like winds blow all the time.According to Li Guopeng, leader of the No 1 Geodetic Survey Team of China’s Ministry of Natural Resources, despite advanced technologies we now have—the likes of robots and drones—there is no guarantee that they can operate smoothly under extreme conditions, which is why sending human experts to the peak is still necessary to ensure a precise reading.But does the difference of a few meters really matter when it comes to a gigantic mountain?The truth is that measuring the height of Qomolangma is much more than just getting that one particular number. Located at the point where the Eurasian plate meets the Indian plate, Mount Qomolangma emerged from an ocean 38 million years ago as a result of the two plates colliding, which makes it the perfect window for observing crustal movements. Changes to the peak’s height can indicate whether the two plates are heading toward or away from each other.The survey team will also get firsthand information about the condition of the snow and other natural materials at the top, which could be an indicator of climate change on the Tibet-Qinghai Plateau.It might be true that settling a dispute was the initial driving force for continued exploration, but the good thing is that we always end up discovering so much more.1．A/An ________ survey team measured the height of Qomolangma in 1856.A．Chinese B．British C．Indian D．American2．The underlined word “peak” means_________.A．顶峰B．底部C．道路D．山路3．The average air temperature on Qomolangma is________ that in Antarctica.A．higher than B．lower thanC．the same as D．much higher than4．Changes to the peak’s height are ________crustal movements.A．the reason for B．the promotion of C．the sign of D．the side effect of5．What’s the passage mainly about?A．The meaning of measuring Qomolangma.B．How to measure Qomolangma.C．The introduction of Qomolangma.D．The weather on Qomolangma.（二）Geology rocks!It’s not easy keeping track of Sam Mukasa, a University of Michigan geologist.Sam could be anywhere in the world looking at rocks or poking around volcanoes! He has been on expedition to Antarctica nine times. We caught Sam’s recent lecture at the University of Michigan’s Exhibit Museum of Natural History in the US.Born in Kenya, Africa, of Ugandan parents, Sam told us his own fascinating story.“How did someone born at the equator end up working in Antarctica?” he said, chuckling. “When I was about 8, a very adventurous uncle took me up a very small mountain and I was hooked for life. Some seven years later, I found myself on top of Mt. Kilimanjaro and some eight years later, I found myself doing work on a doctorate in the Andes.”But Peru became dangerous because of political reasons. So Sam left and made his way first to Chile, then to Tierra del Fuego at the tip of Argentina.“Then I worked my way to South Georgia Island, and by this time I could actually start smelling Antarctica. So it was only a matter of time before I started working in Antarctica.”Sam’s knowledge of Antarctica is immense. His lecture was packed with surprises. How many people know that 146 freshwater lakes lurk beneath the frozen continent? Or that one, Lake Vostok, is about the same length as Lake Ontario?“If it were at the surface, it would be recognized as the seventh largest lake in the world,” said Sam.And get this: A volcano also lurks beneath Antarctica!“We didn’t even know about it until a couple of years ago,” said Sam. “It erupted 2,000 years ago, spreading ash over a very large area. In the future, there could be another eruption that could have a devastating effect on the ice.”Antarctica was only part of Sam’s studies. We will follow Sam’s work on other fields in the future. Stay tuned for more interesting stories.6．Sam has explored Antarctica ________ times.A．seven B．eight C．nine D．ten7．Sam was born in ________.A．Britain B．Africa C．Antarctica D．Argentina8．Sam climbed a mountain with his uncle at the age of ________.A．eight B．nine C．fifteen D．twenty-three9．There are 146________ beneath the frozen continent in Antarctica.A．salt water lakes B．freshwater lakes C．rivers D．artificial lakes10．Which of the following is true?A．Sam knows much about Antarctica.B．Sam is sure that there will be another eruption in Antarctica.C．There is no volcano beneath Antarctica.D．Sam only works in Antarctica.（三）Exploding mountainsBoom! You hear a distant explosion. Then suddenly, the air is filled with thick smoke and dust. In the distance, you can see red-hot lava flowing down the side of a hill. What is going on?You just saw a volcanic eruption. That’s when a volcano, which is basically a hole in Earth’s surface, sends out hot ash, gas, and rocks into the air.These eruptions can be quite dangerous. They can destroy houses and burn or choke people to death. A volcano in New Zealand called White Island recently erupted, killing 16 people and injuring many others.How do volcanoes form? As you may know, Earth’s surface is actually broken up into 17 parts, which are called tectonic plates. These plates move around sometimes. When they separate from or crash into each other, they usually form valleys or mountains. But sometimes, a volcano forms instead.V olcanoes can be either dormant or active. If a volcano is dormant, it is “asleep”. There is little to no risk that it will erupt. But if it’s active, it is “awake”. It could erupt at almost any time!White Island is an active volcano. It is located along the “Ring of Fire”, which refers to the chain of volcanoes that circles the Pacific Ocean.The outside of the volcano has many cracks in it that allow water to get inside. Once water goes in, it is heated by the super-hot lava inside and turns into steam. But then, the steam becomes trapped. It has nowhere to go. This causes the volcano to violently erupt, sending out clouds of superheated steam, hot ash and rocks. Many eruptions occur in this way.11．The air is filled with________ after a volcanic eruption.A．small stones and dust B．thick smoke and dustC．thick smoke and water D．dust and water12．The eruption of White Island killed________ people.A．16B．17C．18D．1913．Earth’s surface is broken up into________ parts.A．7B．8C．16D．1714．________ could erupt at almost any time.A．The Island B．The Dormant volcanoC．The Active volcano D．The Mountain15．Water will become _______ after it gets in the volcano.A．steam B．rocks C．ice D．lava（23-24八年级上·山东德州·期末）Dereck and Beverly are wildlife animal filmmakers. They have made lots of films about animals and plants.Their job is to keep and protect the big cats of Africa from damage (伤害). Beverly also takes photos of the lions, and her pictures have appeared in National Geographic magazine.When they were kids, Dereck was quiet and healthy. He was good at maths and science. Beverly had a twin brother. At that time, she and her brother often got their mother into trouble! Beverly was a dancer, an athlete and a class leader. And she could play the piano (not very well). Her favourite subject was science and she always got excellent grades in her science exams.When in the field, their work starts at around 4 am. After drinking a cup of tea, they drive out into the bush (灌木丛) to find their subjects. Sometimes that is a lion pride (群). Lions are family animals. They usually live in groups of fifteen or more. Sometimes that is a single leopard (豹). They follow the animals for the day, filming, researching, and collecting facts, information or pictures. They don’t stop working even when they have lunch. They are often back in camp by 8 pm.When talking about the favourite places to explore, Dereck says, “We live in it!” Beverly thinks being in nature is her favourite. Dereck thinks running or taking a swim in the Okavango swamp (沼泽)—especially swimming close to crocodiles (鳄鱼) is great fun, but Beverly says, “Swimming is fun but crazy in these waters!”16．From the second paragraph, we can know that when they were kids, _________.A．Dereck was outgoing B．Beverly was quiet and healthyC．Beverly could play the piano very well D．Dereck and Beverly were both good at science17．When Dereck and Beverly are in the field, the right time order is that they _________.①drink a cup of tea ①follow the animals ①drive out ①find their subjectsA．①①①①B．①①①①C．①①①①D．①①①①18．How many hours do they usually work every day?A．Eight.B．Ten.C．Twelve.D．Sixteen.19．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Animals and plants.B．The story of Dereck and Beverly.C．National Geographic magazine.D．Dereck and Beverly’s childhood.20．From the passage, we can infer (推断) that _________.A．Dereck and Beverly don’t love nature at all B．Dereck and Beverly are famous film starsC．it’s safe to swim in the Okavango swamp D．their work is dangerous sometimes, but they like it（四）（23-24八年级上·山东烟台·期末）Have you ever seen any special buildings in the world?

These small birds are among the fastest animals on Earth. In fact, swifts can go two or three days without touching the ground! To get used to life in the sky, swifts use their speed and the saliva (唾液) in their mouths.Swifts can fly faster than 100 miles per hour. That’s because their wings are like boomerangs (回力镖). This shape of the wings helps them to fly much faster. They can also move one wing faster than the other, which allows them to make sharp turns without slowing down. Making fast, sharp turns helps swifts catch flying bugs to eat.The saliva helps swifts catch bugs to feed their young. It is sticky, like glue. Swifts often fly into clouds of bugs such as mosquitoes and open their wide mouths to catch as many insects as they can. The bird collects as many insects as they can. The bird collects insects in its mouth gradually (逐渐地) and holds the insects in a sticky ball of saliva. One food ball can contain nearly 1,000 bugs.Swifts also use their saliva as glue to build their nests. The birds catch feathers in the air and stick the feathers together to build a strong nest. Swifts’ short feet are not good for walking or standing on land for long. But their sharp claws allow them to stick to rocks and walls so they can take a short rest before returning to their lives in the sky.25．The second paragraph mainly talks about ________.A．how fast swifts can fly B．how swifts turn around in the skyC．why swifts make sharp turns D．why swifts can fly and turn so fast26．What does the underlined word “It” refer to in Paragraph 3?A．The saliva.B．The air.C．The shape.D．The speed.27．Which of the following is True about swifts?A．They don’t usually live on land because of wings.B．They can fly for a long time because of their small bodies.C．They can’t walk for a long time because of their short feet.D．They can catch nearly 1,000 bugs in one go with the saliva.28．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?A．B．C．D．（六）（23-24八年级上·广西来宾·期末）There are about 5, 000 different kinds of ladybugs (瓢虫) in the world. They come in many different colors. Their bright colors warn other animals or insects not to eat them. Ladybugs taste bad. A bird or a frog that eats a ladybug will remember the bright colors and it will not eat another ladybug with the same colors again. When ladybugs are in danger, they will give out a fluid (液体) that tastes terrible.In many cultures, the ladybug is considered to be a symbol of good luck. Most ladybugs are kind to humans. They eat other insects which destroy crops. One ladybug can eat up to 5, 000 insects in its lifetime.Ladybugs have six short legs. They live in many different places, including green lands, forests, cities, the countryside and along rivers. Different ladybugs have different spots (点) . Some of them don’t have spots at all. The most common kind in North America is the 7-spotted ladybug. The 7-spotted ladybugs are the most active from spring to autumn. When the weather turns cold, they look for a warm place to sleep, such as under stones or in houses.29．Ladybugs can give out a terrible fluid to protect themselves.30．In many cultures, ladybugs are believed to bring good luck.31．Most of the ladybugs are harmful (有害的) to crops.32．Ladybugs live in many places except cities.33．Winter is the best time for 7-spotted ladybugs to go out for food.（七）（23-24八年级上·山东济南·期末）When a baby elephant is born, it stands quickly on its feet. It drinks milk from its mother for a few years. The mother elephant is very important to a baby elephant. 34 Elephants travel a lot. Sometimes they have to cross rivers. The water might run too quickly and wash a baby elephant down a river. Or it can fall into a hole. When a baby elephant loses its mother, it becomes an orphan. Sometimes a baby elephant becomes an orphan because its mother is killed.In the wild (野外), a baby elephant can’t live without its mother. Some people, called keepers, look after the orphan elephants in a park. 35 Then, the keepers send the elephants back to the wild.In the wild, a baby elephant will stay under its mother to keep cool from the sun. 36 The keepers need to teach a baby elephant how to feed.

The Himalayas run along the southwestern part of China. Of all the mountains, Qomolangma rises the highest and is the most famous. It is 8,844.43 meters high and so is very dangerous to climb. Thick clouds cover the top and snow can fall very hard. Even more serious difficulties include freezing weather conditions and heavy storms. It is also very hard to take in air as you get near the top.The first people to reach the top were Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary on May 29, 1953. The first Chinese team did so in 1960, while the first woman to succeed was Junko Tabei from Japan in 1975.Why do so many climbers risk their lives? One of the main reasons is because people want to challenge themselves in the face of difficulties. The spirit of these climbers shows us that we should never give up trying to achieve our dreams. It also shows that humans can sometimes be stronger than the forces of nature.Answer the questions using information in the article.1.Where are the Himalayas?2.How high is Qomolangma?3.Why do so many people try to climb this mountain even though it is dangerous?4.What does the spirit of the climbers tell us?Grammar Focus1.—What’s the highest mountain in the world?—Qomolangma.2.—How high is Qomolangma?—It’s 8,844.43 meters high.
