牛津译林版八年级上册英语期中复习：任务型阅读练习题精选We all know that everyone has his own dream as well as his own future. But do you know what future really is? I have to say that future is now. That is to say we must treasure (珍惜) every minute now. If we want to have a bright future, we should know how important time is and use it well.There is an old English saying: “Gain time, gain life.”Then what’s time? Time is something that we can’t see or touch, but we can feel it passing by. Time is always with us. When we are at table, time passes; when we play, time goes by unnoticeably. We always say “Time is money”, but time is even more precious (珍贵的) than money, because when money is spent, we can earn it back. But if time is gone, it will never return (回来). So, some of us even say time is priceless.We should always remember: future is now. For us students, we should work hard in order to make our own future better. We should make the best use of every hour and be the master of today. We should do what we can to do everything as well as possible. And never put off what we can do today till tomorrow.As we all know, “Time and tide wait for no man.”If you waste today, you will regret (后悔) tomorrow. So from now on, work hard. Tomorrow will be better, and your future will be brighter. Remember: “No pains, no gains.”Today’s hard work is the cause(原因) of tomorrow’s harvest.Title: Future and 11. ___Today / Present___2. __useful_3. __Time___4. __come___5. __best__DIY means making or creating things on your own, with your own hands. It may take much time, but some people, now known as DIYers —do-it-yourselfers, enjoy doing it very much. They are interested in it because it is fun. And they also say it helps them save money, too. What’s more, they think it is a good way to protect the environment. It is a kind of green life. In fact, DIY is not a modern thing in China. Many people remember when it was once a way of life in the past. During the 1960s and 1970s, when there were not enough living things for people to live on, they had to use their own hands to do many things. If you wanted something, you had to do it yourself, and if you needed something, you made it yourself.Times have changed and DIY also has different meanings.。

This kind of friend knows all of your deepest and darkest secrets, but still loves you all the same.A Friendly NeighborThese days, a lot of people don’t know their own neighbours.

If you two get along with each other, you can always start going out with them outside of the office.A Friend from a Different CultureIf everyone has a friend from a different culture, the world would be much better.

You may spend time with a friend and get to see where he lives. So remember to be polite.When to arrive?The first thing to remember is that when a friend invites you over, you need to arrive on time. If your friend tells you to come around 3:00 p.m., that means you can turn up a little bit late after 3:00 p.m. But usually it is a good thing to arrive at the right time.What to bring?Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend’s house. This could be a box of chocolates for you two share, or may be a movie that you can watch together. You can also bring some flowers. A little gift is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his house.How to greet?When you visit your friend’s house, you may also meet his parents.

Yes, it is making or creating (创造) things by yourselves, with your own hands.It may take much time, but some people, now known as DIYers—do-it-yourselfers, enjoy doing it very much. They enjoy it because it is fun. And they also say it helps them save money, too. What’s more, they think it is a good way to protect the environment (环境). It is a kind of green life. In fact, DIY is not a modern thing in China. Many people remember when it was once a way of life in the past. During the 1960s and 1970s, when there were not enough living things for people to live on, they had to use their own hands to do many things. If you wanted something, you had to do it yourself, and if you needed something, you made it yourself.Times have changed and DIY also has different meanings.91~95 yourselves / save / green / way / because (when)96~100 with/ computer / difficult(hard )/ interested / colourfulVanilla is my best friend.

We were sitting in the classroom. The teacher was giving us our results of a Chinese test. I had done badly. I felt so sad that I wouldn’t talk to anyone. At lunchtime, I even stayed in the classroom alone. Suddenly, I heard a voice. It was Vanilla. “You look very unhappy,” she said. “What’s wrong?” I looked up at her, but said nothing. I knew Vanilla had got a good mark in the test. I thought she was making fun of me. I kept in silent, but Vanilla didn’t go away. She kept asking me questions, “Is it because of the exam? Do you want me to show you the right answers?” I looked away from her. When I looked up again, Vanilla had gone. And so had my exam paper! I looked everywhere for my paper, but couldn’t find it.In the afternoon, Vanilla came up to my desk and gave me my exam paper back. I looked at it and got a big surprise.

牛津译林版八年级英语上册任务型阅读专题练习A game of catch is not difficult at all. Two people throw a ballback and forth( 来回地掷球). It seems a little boring. The twopeople are close enough to talk, but they can’t touch each other.In fact, playing catch is part of baseball practice. It’s a populargame. Because baseball is an American sport and a big part of being American, playing catch is kind of an all-American dad activity. Outside cities, most people have backyards – not large enough to play baseball in, but just big enough for a game of catch. Those without yards can play in streets.But any American kid will tell you it’s much more than a game. Playing catch is a time to be with your father. It’s a time when there’s nothing to worry about except( 除了) catching a ball. When they play it, words move together with the ball itself, back and forth, easy and relaxing(放松). Kids and dads spend time together.The game can be good memories(记忆) of dads. Why? Dads are usually very busy. This is a time when a kid has all of his or her dad’s attention(注意力). There is no work, no phone and no other people around to take your dad away from you. For the time that it takes to play a game of catch, your dad is all yours.The Game of61What’s the game It’s part of baseball62.A 63 game•Two people throw a ball back and forth.•They can talk but can’t64each other when playing it.A 65 game•Catch is an all-American activity because 66is part of beingAmerican.•People play the game in yards or67.•Players needn’t worry about 68 except catching a ball,69and theball move together when they play it.A Dad-kid game•Kids and dads spend time together.•A kid can have the 70of his or her Dad when they play the game.61.

It means I could stay in bed for one more hour.On the first day, all the new students had a meeting. The headmaster told us about the school rules. He also told us that the best way to get respect(尊重) was to study hard and get high grades. This sounded like my school in China.We had to move to different classrooms for different classes. We also had different students in some classes, so it was difficult for me to remember all the faces and names.I found that the homework was not as heavy as what I did in my old school. Yet it was a bit difficult for me at first, because all the homework was in English. We had many subjects: English, History, Science, Art and so on, but we can stop studying some subjects if we have no interest in them. Then they can choose some other subjects.I missed Chinese food a lot at lunch. British food is very different. British people like eating desserts(甜点) which usually come after their main meal.

Haze can also be called “Smog”. The word "smog" is from the words “smoke” and “fog”, it first appeared in the early20th century, It is a kind of air pollution（污染）caused（导致）mostly by cars and factories. Smog will do great harm（伤害）to your health, especially lungs（肺）.It can make you cough and cause skin and eye problems. It seems that we can do nothing to stop it, but only wait until the wind blows all the smog away. However, there are some easy ways to prevent it hurting you. Here are some of them.1. Don’t do exercise in the open.Exercising in the open makes you breathe（呼吸）deeply, and you will take in the particles （颗粒物）deep into your lungs.2. Stay indoors and keep the air clean.If you can, just stay in your room and keep the doors and windows closed. Remember to air your room twice a day, you can open the window at noon or at night for half an hour.3. Wear a mask.Paper and cotton masks can not help you in the haze weather. Some special masks, such as N95 masks, can keep you from breathing in the particles in the air.4. Change your diet.Scientists find that vitamin A, C and E can greatly help protect your eyes, nose and lungs.So eat more green vegetables and fresh fruit everyday. What’s more, do not eat food with too much fat （脂肪），it’s bad for your lungs.The haze weatherWhat is haze?·It’s 56 smog, a kind of smoky and 57 weather.·It is a kind pollution caused by cars and 58 .What is the harm?·It is 59 for our health.·Don’t 61 outside.·Stay indoors as long as possible with the doors and windows 62 .·Remember to open the windows for a while to keep the 63 clean. · 64 a mask to prevent taking in the particles.60 to prevent the haze?·Change your diet.

Many children say that they are just happy. Because sometimes when you want to share your joy with others, you also sing.Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because of happy feelings. However they sing most of the time for a different reason. Their singing is in fact a warning (警告) to other birds to stay away from their territory.Then what is a “territory”? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims asits own. Only he and his family can stay there. For example, people’s garden and house are their territories. If a strange person wants to come to your territory and hurt you, you may shout. This might be enough to make him afraid and go away.If so, people drive the person away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. He screams. But he does it almost any time, especially at nesting(筑巢) seasons. And birds sing louder in spring than in other seasons. This screaming is what we called a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.You can see that birds have a language of their own.Title: Why do bird sing?Children’sideaBirds sing to share their 66 with other birdsSometimes birds sing because they feel 68 .People may 70 to make strangers stay away from theirterritory.Like people, birds warn other birds to stay away byscreaming, without 71 themA bird screams at 72 time.

It reminds people not to wastefood and fight hunger.A number of people in the world still don’t have enough food to eat. The food shortage(短缺) is a big problem all over the world. Now, there are more than 1000 million hungry people in the world according to the UN. Many children go to sleep hungry, and 15 million of them die of hunger each year.There are several reasons for food shortage. First, there are more natural disasters. Also, a growing population(人口) makes feeding everyone more difficult.Another big reason is food waste. Most people don’t realize how much food they throw away every day. The average(平均的) person throws away 50kg of food every year. According to the UN, more than one third of all food goes to waste each year.Over 1,300 billion kilograms of food is wasted each year. The food wasted in Europe can feed 200 million people, while in Latin America 300 million a year.So think twice before you throw away food.

He found a group of family members shouting in anger at each other. He turned to his students and asked: “Why do people shout in anger at each other?”His students thought for a while, and one of them said: “Because when we lose our calm, we shout.”“But, why should you shout when the other person is just next to you? You can just as well tell him what you have to say in a soft manner,” said the wise man.Students gave some other answers but none were any good.“When two people are angry at each other, their hearts become distanced(疏远的),” the wise man explained. “To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the louder they will have to shout to hear each other and cover that great distance.”The wise man then gave an example: “What happens when two people fall in love? They don’t shout at each other but talk softly because their hearts are very close. When they love each other even more, what happens? They don’t need to talk. They only look at each other and that’s all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.”He looked at his students and said: “So when you argue, do not let your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance you from others. Otherwise, there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.”51.

For example, I’m working on a one-minute presentation about recent Canadian news.I read about lots of news, and I will choose one thing to write about. Doing presentations is a good way to practice speaking skills and build confidence(自信). I still feel shy talking in front of many people. But my English has really become better.For geography and history, we usually do paper work and make posters. It takes a lot of time. We spent about a month on one article last year. We had to make outlines (提纲) and write out the main ideas. Our teacher fixed them and then we could start to write. For the posters, you can print or draw them. Last week, our teacher asked us to make a poster about our sense of place. So weput two pictures of our favorite places and wrote 10 words to describe them.Science was very hard for me at first. And it took me an hour to read three pages. But as I learn more and more words, I understand it better. Even if I don’t understand all the words, I can mostly guess what it is saying.

But it’s not a good idea. The best way is to forgive(原谅) them.It is not easy for us to forgive people who hurt us, but it is possible. “ Forgiveness makes you more hopeful. And it is good for our health,” says Frederic, Ph D, the writer of the book called Forgive for God.But how can we forgive others?First, think of something beautiful and try to get yourself happy.Second, don’t want others to say sorry to you. If the people hurt you, he or she won’t say sorry to you. They may just want to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way.Third, try to see things in others’ shoes. You can write a letter to yourself from the offender’s(冒犯者) point. That can make you understand others better and make yourself happier.At last, don’t forget to forgive yourself. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge(挑战). And it also makes you more confident(自信).31.What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined sentence?A.站在别人的鞋上看问题。
