It is thought that when the great Italian traveller Marco Polo visited China in the 13th century, he saw printed books. But printed books did not come to Europe until 1450 when a German named Johannes Gutenberg invented a printing machine.

八年级学期期末英语试卷分类汇编阅读表达盐都区Building the pyramidsBecause the pyramids were huge, it took a lot of time and work to build them. Many engineers, architects, masons and artists were employed over many years to build each one.Thousands of labourers also worked on the pyramids each year.The labourers were mostly local farmers who gave up a few months of their time each year to help out.The First StepThe first step in building a pyramid was to pick a site. Then architects and engineers worked together to design the pyramid and make sure that it would be strong and safe.Not all pyramids were the same. Some were taller than the others. Some had different angles because their bases were larger than others.All of them were constructed differently inside, too. Many were made up of stone only, while some were filled with a mix of stone, mud bricks, and even sand.Cutting the StoneBuilding work began when the pyramid was designed. There was a lot of stone in Egypt, and builders of pyramids often found supplies of stone nearby that they could use.The Egyptians had no machinery or iron tools.Stone masons had to dig the stone from the ground and then cut it into large blocks using only copper and stone hand tools.（改编于《新理念》八年级第一册) 回答下列问题，每题答案不超过5个词。

On buses, in meeting rooms, wherever you are, you see people staring attheir mobile phones. Smart phones are of such great importance that they arebecoming irreplaceable. As we depend too much on technology instead of ourbrains, it seems that we are losing our smartness. Many people have lost threebasic abilities as a result.The first skill many people have lost is remembering phone numbers. Because phone numbers are stored in smart phone contacts, there’s now no need to dial a number or look at it again. As a result, we can’t contact others without our phones.And some of us may also have lost our sense of direction because some apps can guide us anywhere we want to go. We get so dependent on them that when we can’t use our smart phones, we lose our way.But the worst lost skills may be social ones, meaning that some people are becoming socially useless. We often lose ourselves in our smart phones and we don’t pay any attention to the people and things around. So some of us have lost conversational skills and sometimes can’t even tell whether a person is happy or not.Some researchers studied 51 students aged 11 and 12 who had over five hour s’ screen time every day. Their task is to tell the emotions of 48 pictures of faces that were happy, sad, angry or scared. The children made an average(平均) of 14.02 mistakes at the beginning. But after a five-day camp without electronic products, they made only 9.41 mistakes on average.Luckily, there are ways to help you get these abilities back. You should try to keep your parents’numbers in mind. You should also pay more attention to street signs and shops, and it will help you to draw a mind map and stop you from getting lost. And the easiest solution is to take a break fromelectronic products from time to time.75. place(s) 76. no 77. Ways/How 78. remember 79. Look/Stare 80. Losing南京市一中六、任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）阅读下面的短文。
