She was wondering how the lady could know how much money she and her husband needed since the baby would soon arrive.She knew that her husband worried about that,so she was glad to tell him the good news.Then she kissed him and whispered“Now everything will be all right.I love you,Bryan Anderson.”67.Why was the woman still worried when the men came towards her?68.What was wrong with the woman’s car?69.The lady paid money for the man’s help,didn’t she?70.Where did the lady stop at the same evening?71.How did the lady deliver her love to others?72.Which character is the most impressive to you?Can you tell the reason?VII.Writing73.Write at least60words on the topic“A surprise I want to give__________”(以“我想给…的惊喜”为题写话。

牛津英语8A期末复习--阅读理解(1)Fall is here again. And it’s that time of year when it gets a little colder, the days get a little shorter, and the bears get much, much fatter.Every year at this time, there is a competition for bears in Alaska’s Katmai National Park to look for the fattest bear in the park. Online voters(网上投票者) around the world will choose the winner. The competition goes on for a week, so it is called Fat Bear Week. This year’s competition ended on October 8. The winner was a bear named Holly. Between July 12 and September 22, she grew from a thin bear into a giant beast(巨兽).Bears have to get fat so that they can hibernate(冬眠). By the time they go into hibernation, male brown bears weigh from 600 pounds(272 kg)to 900 pounds(408 kg). Adult females usually weigh about a third less. Hibernation can last for half a year and a bear can lose up to one third of its weight during this time. So it’s healthy for the bears to get fat. If the hears don’t get fat enough, they could die during hibernation.1. can choose which bear is the fattest and wins the competition.A. Workers in the parkB. People around the worldC. Scientists in AlaskaD. The bears themselves2. According to the passage, a 600-pound bear will weigh about after hibernation.A. 200 poundsB. 250 poundsC.300 poundsD. 400 pounds3.

Holly won the competition on September 22.B. Holly will hibernate for about a year and may die during that time.C. Holly was a thin bear before July 12 and then became fat very fast.D. The aim of the competition was to get ready for hibernation.(2)I live with my grandmother in a Beijing yard house. One day last year, I was surprised to see a big foreigner coming out of the house next door to ours. He was very tall with short brown hair and a pair of glasses.The first time I saw him, I was too shy to speak to him. “My English is too bad!” I thought. My grandmother told me that he had just moved into our yard. “I don’t like it!” she said, “Foreigners aren’t like us. Maybe he’ll play loud music and parties every night! I’m sure he’s going to cause trouble.”Several days later, I met the foreigner as I was walking home after work. “Hello!” he said (in Chinese!). “My name’s Tony. I’ve just moved into the house next door to yours.” While I was wondering what to say, he continued, “ There’s a nice bar(酒吧) down the road. Why don’t you and your family come and have dinner with me?” “Bars are bad places,” said my grandmother when I told her, but we decided to go. The bar was not at all what I had expected. It was in a beautiful little yard house, with several large bookshelves and pictures of Tibet on the walls. Several Chinese people and foreigners were sitting drinking or reading books. I noticed that some of the foreigners were speaking Chinese in a low voice to each other! “Oh, what a civilized place!” my grandmother exclaimed.The bar served(提供) special “hutong pizzas”. As we ate, Tony told us about himself-he is an English expert(专家) in environment (环境). He always likes to be quiet. My grandmother said to me, “He really seems like a very nice young man.”1.

The bank is very unusual. It not onlyhelps students save money, but also helps them save the earth.He thought of the idea after seeing his classmates spend all their pocket money on toys. They even threw away many old toys every year. Condori thought this was a big waste. After talking with his teachers about it, he knew he could do something. So he started his bank.Here is how the bank works: Students bring in plastic waste. Then they sold it to a recycling company. The company turns some of the waste into new products(产品). Condori’s bank makes money from this process(过程). Part of the money is put into the students’ bank accounts(账户). The students can take the money out when they reach their savings goal.At first, the bank had only 20 members. Now, there are 2, 000 members. That number is still rising. Condori is bring his bank to more cities. He wants to help more people save money while saving the environment. Will you become a member of the bank when it comes to your city one day?1. Which of the following is NOT true about Jose Condori according to the passage?A. He is from Peru.B. He started the Bartselana Student Bank at the age of 7.C.

You must have a cold! Wait a moment. Could it just be a common cold or the flu(流感) going around?A cold gives you a runny nose and cough. But it’s usually easy to deal with. Some take medicine while others drink herbal tea or chicken soup. Usually you feel better after a week.On the other hand, the flu can be much more dangerous. It usually gives you fever. Sometimes it can cause death. According to an American magazine, the worst flu killed about 50 million people from 1918 to 1919.Don’t worry. If you get a flu vaccine(疫苗),it can stop you from getting the virus(病毒). Flu vaccines work by giving the body a small amount of flu viruses. This causes your body to have antibodies(抗体). So next time you get the flu, the antibodies should help you.The flu virus changes every few years. So there are so many types of flu, such as H1N1 and H5N1. The antibodies for one type of flu can’t help us against all types of flu. That’s why we need to get the vaccine every year.However, good health habits may also help you away from a cold or flu. Washing your hands often stops you from getting viruses easily. It is also important to get regular exercise and eat healthy food. All these can help you strengthen your immune system (增强免疫系统).1. If you have a common cold, usually you’ll feel better after ______ days.A. 7B. 10C. 15D. 202. What does the underlined “it”in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Herbal tea.B. Chicken soup.C. A flu virus.D.

We need to get a flu vaccine every year because ______.A. the flu often kills usB. the antibodies can help us against all types of fluC. the flu virus changes every few yearsD. you don’t need to take any medicine after that4. The following ways can help stop the flu EXCEPT ______.A. staying indoorsB. getting regular exerciseC. eating healthy foodD. washing our hands often(5)Mo was feeling sick. She had two exams that day and Physics was first. She really hated Physics. It was her worst subject. Terry looked back at her and then looked away quickly. Terry was her friend but these days she didn’t help her prepare for the physics exam or answer her calls.Mo couldn’t answer Question Five. She looked up . Mo couldn't believe it! Terry was holding her phone under the table and reading from it. Is that how Terry always got good grades? It wasn’t fair(公平的). Mo never cheated and she failed the physics exams many times.“Stop writing and put your pens down," said Mr. Reed as he started to collect the exam papers. Oh no, Mo hadn’t answered two of the questions. She was goin g to fail again! “It wasn’t fair!” she thought . “Terry was getting good grades by cheating!” Just then Mr. Reed walked past. “Mr. Reed .…”Mo was sitting behind Terry again in the history exam that afternoon. Mo was best at History but she wasn’t feeling good. Mr. Reed wanted her to look at her and nod(点头) if she saw that Terry had her phone in the exam. She was working on the last question when she saw that Terry had her phone under the table. Without thinking, Mo looked up and nodded to Mr. Reed. Terry was looking at her phone.
