They talked about the ways to protect the animals in their countries. They agreed to spend more money protecting tigers and they wanted to double the number oftigers in the world before 2022.Tiger is one of the world's most endangered animals. The World Wildlife Fund （WWF）says, there are only about 100,000 wild tigers now. And the number is becoming smaller and smaller. 'If nothing happens, tigers will face disasters,' said WWF spokeswoman Marie von Zeipel.Nine types of tigers lived 100 years ago, but now at least three of them have died out. ‘If people leave tigers alone and don’t kill them, then the number of tigers will double in 10 years,’ said Jean-Christoph Vie, a French tiger expert (专家).China is one of the 13 countries where tigers live. There are about 50 wild tigers in China now. They are the Bengal tigers in Tibet, Indochinese tigers in China's southwest, and Siberian tigers in the northeast. The South China tigers lived in southeast China many years ago but disappeared in the 1970s. Many experts think they have already died out.（1）What's the meeting in St Petersburg mainly about?A．How to help tigers find a better place to live.B．How to protect tigers in their countries.C．How to stop people from hunting the wild animals.D．How to count the number of tigers in the world.（2）Which of the following is TRUE according to the WWF?A．Many tigers have died only because people hunt them.B．About 3,200 tigers have died in the past 100 years.C．There are more and more tigers these years.D．There are about 100,000 wild tigers in the world now.（3）In Jean-Christoph Vie's opinion, the best way to double the number of tigers in 10 years is__________.A．to do nothingB．to keep all of them in the zooC．to stop people from killing themD．to build more nature reserves for tigers（4）How many types of tigers were there in China 50 years ago?A．3B．4C．13D．50CMaybe you know floods, earthquakes, sandstorms and so on. But have you heard of typhoons?Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. Most happen in July, August and September.How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates （蒸发）into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into sky. Then cooler air around it rushes in. It fills the space that is left. After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind. The wind goes in circles（圆圈）and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves. And when the wind moves faster than 30 metres a second, a typhoon begins.A typhoon has two parts, one is called the “eye”. In the eye, the wind does not move so fast. The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye. Here are the strongest winds and hardest rains.Typhoons are very dangerous. In November this year, Typhoon Haiyan killed 5500 people in Philippines. More people are missing.What to do when a typhoon hits?Stay inside. Close all the windows and stay away from them.Try to bring all of your things inside. Strong winds could even blow away your bikes!Listen to the radio or TV for important information.If you're told to go to a safer place, do it right now.（1）This passage is most probably from .A．an advertisement of a typhoon B．a travel recordC．a weather report D．a science magazine（2）Typhoons often happen .A．in the hot season B．in the cold seasonC．only in China D．under the sea（3）In which order（顺序）does a typhoon happen?a. The wind moves fast enough, a typhoon starts.b. The air moves quickly, making wind.c. The sun makes sea water hot.d. The air gets warmer.A．d-c-b-a B．c-d-b-a C．c-d-a-b D．d-b-a-c（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The warmer the air gets, the slower the wind moves.B．5500 people died because of Typhoon Haiyan around the world.C．The strongest winds and hardest rains are in the wall of clouds.D．A typhoon will not happen before the wind goes faster than 30 km a second.（5）When a typhoon comes, we CANNOT .A．close all the windows B．listen to typhoon newsC．stay inside the strong house D．go outside to find a safer placeD根据短文回答问题What is a hurricane?You may already know that hurricanes are storms that can cause devastating(毁灭性的)waves, wind, and rain. They happen during “Hurricane Season,” which is from June 1st until November 30th in the Atlantic Ocean and from May 15th until November 30th in the Pacific Ocean.Categories(类别)of HurricanesThere are five categories of hurricanes, which are based on wind speeds. The categories help people know how much damage(危害)a hurricane may cause because the greater the wind speed, the more dangerous the storm is. For example, a Category 5 hurricane has winds over 155 miles per hour, which are strong enough to destroy the buildings along the shorelines completely.Hurricane DangersWhen a hurricane happens together with heavy rainfall, there can be a devastating flood. The centre of a hurricane is called the eye. While most of a hurricane has dangerously strong winds, the eye is actually(事实上)a calm area in the storm. When the eye of a hurricane passes over land, people might think that it's over, but before long the wind and rain increase again as the second part of the hurricane moves through.Hurricane Safety TipsThere is no way to stop a hurricane or make it change direction, so if you ever find yourself in the path of a hurricane, be sure to remember the following safety tips.Be sure you have a radio, batteries, fresh drinking water, and enough food.Tell neighbours, friends, and family members your emergency plans. Tell them where you'll go if you need to leave your home.If you live near the ocean, leave your home and travel to a safe place. You could stay with a friend or a family member, in a hotel or in an emergency shelter area.Stay inside during the storm. You could be seriously injured (受伤) if you go outside.（1）When is Hurricane Season?___________________________________________（2）What are categories of hurricanes based on?___________________________________________（3）What is called the eye?___________________________________________（4）How many hurricane safety tips are mentioned(提到) in the passage?___________________________________________（5）What should you do most probably if a hurricane happens?（自拟一句话作答）___________________________________________EExtreme weather seems to be everywhere these days. It is sometimes related to climate change. Yet it can be hard to see the effect on people's lives. I began documenting that effect in 2007, when I pictured two floods that occurred within weeks of each other, one in the U.K. and the other in India. I was deeply shocked by the different effects of these floods and the damage that their victims seemed to share.Since then I have visited flood zones around the world. I travelled to many countries, like Australia, Thailand and Nigeria. In flooded places, life is suddenly turned upside down, and normal life is temporarily gone.Photos are the most important in my research. I often follow people as they return home through deep waters, and work with them to take a close look at their flooded homes. Though their poses may be conventional, their environment is changed. The change makes them upset. Often they're abouttheir circumstances or the improper response from the government. Many want their sufferings to be seen and want the world to know what has happened to them.I shoot on film with old Rolleiflex cameras. Digital would be easier, but the texture of film has a particular quality for me. The use of an old camera makes the situation more formal and serious.In many cultures, the flood is described as a destructive force in old stories. It makes humans feel powerless. As weather becomes more extreme, the story in the Bible(圣经) is becoming literal.（1）The key to the author's research is ______.A．countries B．deep waters C．photos D．flooded homes （2）Which word do you think should be put in the blank in Paragraph 3?A．angry B．excited C．anxious D．sad（3）The meaning of "texture" in the fourth paragraph is closest to _______.A．结构B．内容C．课本D．质地（4）In many legends of different countries, the flood is recorded as_______.A．a destroying power B．a phenomenon of extreme weatherC．a formal situation D．a unrealistic Bible storyFDust storms (沙尘暴) appear when strong wind blows sand and dirt from a dry surface. Strong dust storms may cause deaths, so you should know how to protect yourself from dust storms when you meet them.Be careful of dust storm warningsDust storms probably happen on hot summer days, and it's not safe for people to travel during this period. So you should listen to the local TV or radio before travelling, and consider changing or giving up your trip if dust storms are predicted (预测) .Be preparedIf you are in a place where storms happen often, carry a mask (面具) to keep dust and dirt away from your face, and a pair of glasses to protect your eyes.Stay insideDo not move around when a dust storm comes, as you will not be able to see hidden (隐藏的) dangers, So if you are in a house, don't go out and just stay inside.Protect yourself from flying objectsCover your body as much as possible in a dust storm. A strong wind of dust storms can carry heavy objects, so you should try to stay low, and close to the ground, and protect your head with your arms or a backpack.(1)What should you do before you travel according to the passage?A．Pack your backpack B．Bring some money with you.C．Listen to the local TV or radio.D．Tell your parents and friends.(2) We can learn from the passage thatA．it is safe to travel on hot summer daysB．people should stay inside when a dust storm comesC．a strong wind of dust storms can't carry heavy objectsD．a pair of glasses is enough when a dust storm happens(3) Which of the following may be needed when you meet a dust storm?A．A knife.B．A mask.C．A pair of glasses.D．B and C.(4) The underlined word "dirt" mentioned in the first paragraph means "______" in Chinese.A．烂泥B．砂砾C．丑闻D．尘土(5) What's the main idea of this passage?A．How to predict dust storms.B．How to reduce dust storms.C．How to protect yourself from dust storms.D．How dust storms form.GA long time ago, floods（洪水）often happened. The food buried（掩埋）the lands and broke the houses. People felt that they were living in danger every day.The flood really hurt a lot of people, so people began to think about how to solve this problem. At thattime, a man named Gun led people to control the food. All he did was to build the dam (坝) to keep the water out of villages.Nine years later, there were still floods. His son Yu went on controlling the flood. In order to control the flood, Yu didn't return home for thirteen years. In the past thirteen years, he ran everywhere, passing by his home three times. But he never walked into it to have a look. In his opinion, nothing was more important than what he was doing.Yu learned from the experience of Gun's and came up with a better way to control the flood. Together with many people, he dredged (疏浚) many rivers. So the flood could pass through the rivers and then go into the sea. The flood finally died down and people moved their homes back.(1)How did Gun control the floods?A．He led people to build dams.B．He ran to look for lands.C．He led people to move away.D．He repaired broken houses.(2) Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Yu continued Gun's work eight years later.B．Yu didn't return home for thirty years.C．Yu passed by his home three times a year.D．Yu found better ways to control floods.(3) From the passage we can know that __________ is the best way to control the flood.A．calling on people B．working with familyC．dredging rivers D．building some dams(4) What's the best title for the passage?A．A Story of Gun's Life B．A Story of Controlling FloodC．A Story of Yu's Father D．A Story of Moving a VillageHWhat is a tsunami (海啸) ? Tsunamis are often caused by earthquakes or volcanoes (火山) . The average speed (平均速度) of the waves (波浪) is 300 mph and the waves can last from five minutes to an hour.What to do in a tsunami?Firstly, when a strong earthquake is felt, leave the water at once, get to the shore (海岸) and go as far away as you can from the beach fast. If it allows, go to a higher ground.Secondly, turn on the TV for news and weather report. They will tell you more about the tsunami.Thirdly, get all members of your family together and let everyone know the tsunami is coming. Choose a place to stay together. Make sure the place is safe and as far away from the shore as possible. Bring emergency supplies (应急用品) when you have to leave your house.At last, if you find a huge wave is coming, climb onto the roof of your house or on the highest point of the nearest building. Hold on to anything that's strong enough. Climb a tree if you have to.For a tsunami, the only way to survive (幸免于) it is to be prepared.(1)When a tsunami comes, the waves will ________.A．go as quickly as 300 mphB．become stronger before the earthquakeC．cause heavy rainD．last shorter and shorter(2) How many suggestions are mentioned in this passage?A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.D．Five.(3) When a tsunami is coming, your family had better ________.A．go to the beach togetherB．stay in a safe place togetherC．stay in your houseD．put emergency supplies on a lower ground(4) We should do the following when a tsunami is coming EXCEPT ________.A．listening to the weather reportB．going to a low place to keep safeC．getting emergency supplies readyD．leaving the water as far away as you can(5) What's the best title of the passage?A．How to keep safe in the water B．What a tsunami isC．What to do after a tsunami D．How to survive a tsunami参考答案A【答案】（1）A（2）B（3）D【解析】短文大意：在地震发生之前，许多动物会有奇怪的举动，这条消息也许很重要。

I knew my show was successful.Two weeks later, I got into the final. Looking at the crowded(拥挤的) school hall, I felt nervous. As I waited for my turn(顺序) to perform(表演), I told myself, “It should be fine, and it will just be like the last show.”Then I heard the host(主持人) calling my name and I went on the stage(舞台). I looked at the audience(观众). It was noisy and then became quiet. I started playing the guitar and singing.Suddenly, the guitar got broken. I stopped singing and didn’t know what to do.

The women’s volleyball team has been the pride of the Chinese people. To honor it, a film named Leap《夺冠》in English has been made.Based on the volleyball team’s stories, the film shows the struggles(奋斗) and achievements(成就) of the Chinese women’s volleyball team over the past 40 years. Gong Li, a world-famous Chinese actress, plays the role(角色) of Lang Ping, who has won the world championships many times with the team and is now the team’s head coach. In order to play the role well, Gong came to the training site of the team, observing Lang’s words and deeds(举止) carefully.Zhu Ting, captain of the Chinese wom en’s volleyball team, also plays a part in the film. It is the first time that she has taken part in a film shooting and she says it’s a little bit difficult. However, her playing volleyball is more difficult than being an actress. It took her at least 10 years to rise to fame(成名) in the field but playing herself in the film could be realized in a short time.The film hit the screen in January, 2020.

A tour guide.CEver wonder why you can go over a book again and again and still be lost when tested on what you read? It may be because you haven’t practiced remembering.Remembering is a useful way to help us learn. Some of us remember best by listening; others by re-reading; and others learn best by using pictures and diagrams(图表). Schools try many of these different ways to help students “download” new information.But a recent study from Purdue University, US, says that successful learning means being able to recall information at any moment.“Our view is that learning is not about studying or getting knowledge ‘in memory’,” said Jeffrey Karpicke, the lead researcher. “Learning is about ret rieving(寻回, 检索). So it is important to make retrieval practice an important part of the learning process.The research studied two groups of students. Both groups learned something from a text. One group made diagrams about the text. This method(方法) is called concept mapping. The other group put the text away after learning it and tried recalling the concepts from memory.Then, both groups were tested(被测试) on the information they had learned. Both groups scored well at recalling the learned information. However, when they were asked to return one week later, the group who made diagrams scored better than the group who did not use concept mapping. So by drawing concept maps, we are able to recall information far better, which will help us to study.Our mind, just like our body, has to practice activities to become good at them.66. Which of the following ways of remembering is NOT mentioned(提及) in Paragraph 2?A. Listening.B. Re-reading.C. Speaking.D. Using pictures and diagrams.67. According to Jeffrey Karpicke, learning is about _______.A. studying knowledge from memoryB. getting and recalling knowledgeC. practicing drawing photos and mapsD. getting knowledge from memory68. What does the underlined part “concept mapping” in Paragraph 5 mean in Chinese?A. 心电图B. 概念图C. 规划图D. 线路图69. When both groups were tested on the information after one week, _______.A. they both scored wellB. the group that didn’t use concept mapping scored betterC. neither of the groups scored wellD. the group using concept mapping scored better70. What can we tell from the story?A. Our minds need to practice to remember things.B. It’s impossible to remember everything we’ve learned.C. How to get knowledge by concept mapping.D. Concept mapping is the only way to learn.答案：56-60 DABCD 61-65 BDCAC 66-70 CBBDA四、阅读理解阅读下列短文，根据短文内容选择最佳答案（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AA huge fire swept through the top of the famous Notre-Dame de Paris(巴黎圣母院) on Monday evening, April 15, 2019, sending flames and huge clouds of grey smoke into the sky.Notre-Dame de Paris is one of the most famous buildings in the world.

Many people are shy when they speak English, so before you begin, take a deep breath (呼吸) and smile! Smiling always helps.※ The third question is about vocabulary. Oliver from Anhui Province wrote, “I want to remember all the new words. I write them down, but I forget them quickly. What should I do?”Try to remember eight or ten words a day . Write them on pieces of paper and place them in your bedroom. Say the words when you see them, and change them every day .

Unit6 阅读理解专练North American black bears are shy animals. They are fearful by nature, and will usually run away if they see or hear people. Because of this, it can be difficult for scientists to learn about these animals.In order to study black bears, researchers from New Jersey, the USA, catch bears and use drugs to help them go to sleep. Researchers then work out the size and the weight of the bear, take blood to test for diseases, remove a tooth and take it to the lab to find out its age. From these studies, researchers want to find out how many bears live in New Jersey, how long they live, and how many babies they produce.But in Minnesota, the USA, researchers study bears that are completely awake. The bears know the researchers’ voices and they are not afraid of the research team. With the help of a few grapes to keep the bears busy, researchers can touch them to check their hearts, look at their teeth, and do other jobs. Researchers can also walk or sit with bears for hours and make videos to learn about their everyday lives.In both places, the main purpose is the same—to make sure there is a healthy population of black bears. But the research methods and the kinds of information that researchers are able to collect are quite different.1. In the first paragraph, we can learn that North American black bears are ____.A. shy and fearful animalsB. not found todayC. well known to scientistsD. not afraid of people2. The word “remove” in the second paragraph probably means ____ in Chinese.A. 拔下B. 移植C. 清洗D. 修补3. Which of the following may NOT be included in the New Jersey studies on bears?A. The age.B. The way of their communication.C. The weight.D. The number of babies they produce.4. In the Minnesota studies, researchers ____.A. can never get close to the bearsB. study the bears while they are asleepC. use grapes to make the bears fullD. learn a lot about the bears’ everyday lives5. What do the two studies have in common?A. Research places.B. The main purpose.C. Research methods.D. Collected information.参考答案及解析1. A 细节理解题。

It is one of the smallest countries in the world. But for those who are interested in adventure and sport, there is a lot to do. Vanuatu’s islands offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world: volcano（火山）surfing and land diving.V olcano SurfingOn Tanna Island, Mount Yasur rises 300 meters into the sky. Yasur is an active volcano, and it erupts（爆发）almost every day, sometimes several times a day. For centuries, people have climbed this mountain to visit the top. Recently, people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano. In some ways, volcano surfing is like surfing in the sea, but in other ways it’s very different. V olcano surfers try to escape the erupting volcano—without getting h it by flying rocks! It’s fast, fun and dangerous—the perfect extreme sport（极限运动）.Land DivingMost people are familiar with bungee jumping, but do you know bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu and is almost fifteen centuries old? The activity, first called land diving, is part of a religious ceremony（宗教仪式）. A man ties tree vines（树藤）to his legs.

2020-2021学年⽜津译林版⼋年级英语上册阅读理解专项强化训练（⼗）（含答案）Day 1Kids are getting too fatMore children in China are putting on weight. In 2018, 16 percent of Chinese children and teenagers were overweight or obese (肥胖的), according to the National Health Commission.Being too fat is bad for children’s health. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), overweight and obese children are more likely to develop diseases like diabetes (糖尿病) at a younger age. This can lead to a higher chance of premature (过早的) death.On Oct 23, the National Health Commission, together with five other national departments (部门), worked out a plan to prevent and control obesity. The plan aims to cut the average annual (每年的) growth rate of obesity among children aged 0-18 years by 70 percent from 2020 to 2030, Xinhua reported.Kids are putting on weight because of changes in their diet and lifestyle, according to experts. Too much schoolwork and greater use of electronic devices (电⼦产品) could also be a cause.According to the plan, teachers should not allow their classes to run too late or too early. They should make sure that students have breaks and enough physical activity. Primary and secondary school students should have at least three hours of vigorous (剧烈的) physical activity each week.Parents should reduce their children’s use of electronic devices andstop their children from eating foods that are high in sugar, fat and salt.1. Paragraph 2 is about _____.A. a recent WHO reportB. the causes of childhood obesityC. Chinese children’s obesity rateD. the effects of being too fat2.

What is the story mainly about?A. Chinese people’s health conditions.B. Why Chinese children love junk food.C. What Chinese students do during their breaks.D. Action that China is taking to reduce childhood obesity.Day 2Victoria opens upOct 26 was a big day for people in Victoria, the second most populated state in Australia. Following a drop in new COVID-19 cases, the premier (州长) of Victoria lifted (撤销) one of the longest lockdowns in the world – nearly five months. Starting from Oct 28, we were allowed to leave our homes and go back to normal. The premier even shared a happy face with a doughnut (甜甜圈) on Facebook.Restaurants and bars were quickly filled. Stores were crowded with shoppers. And we were no longer stuck in our homes. The funniest part was that there was a long line in front of every barbershop. All of the men whose hair had been growing wildly for months were finally able to get a haircut. They could say goodbye to their sloppy selves (邋遢的⾃⼰).Last weekend, I went out to meet up with my friend. As we held handsand walked past each familiar (熟悉的) store, I felt like the past months had been a dream. But something did change. We put on weight, menus were changed and hand sanitizer (洗⼿液) was everywhere. They reminded us that the world had been turned upside-down (天翻地覆) in 2020.We deserve to celebrate a bit, but we still need to be careful, as the virus is still spreading. All we can do is to recover (恢复) from it and live with it.1. Why was Oct 26 a big day for people in Victoria?______________________________________2. How long did Victoria’s lockdown last?_______________________________________3. What did people in Victoria do after the lockdown was lifted?_______________________________________4. Why were there long lines in front of barber shops?_______________________________________5. How did the writer feel after going out with her friend?_______________________________________6. What does the writer remind us about at the end of her story?_______________________________________Day 3Recess and lunch are our big breaksAs a Chinese student, you probably have morning exercises at school each day. We don’t have this in US schools. I found out about this cultural difference the first day I was in China. My first apartment (公寓) was right next to an elementary school (⼩学) and I saw the students doing their morning exercises.In the US, however, only elementary (from kindergarten to 4th grade) and middle school (5th – 6th grade) students have exercise time like this. We call it “recess (课间休息)”. It’s a short daily play period (30 to 45 minutes) where we can play on the playground. My friends and I would play kickball (美式⾜垒球) and build forts (堡垒) out of big tree branches (树枝) that we found in the woods next to our playground. And in winter, we would sled down (乘雪橇滑下) a big icy hill behind our school. In junior high (7th – 8th grade) and high school (9th – 12th grade), things are different. We have to move between many different classrooms, as each subject has a different teacher and a different classroom. We have a few minutes between each class to get our books and chat a bit – but only a few minutes. We’re in class almost the entire (全部的) time we’re at school. Except for (除了) our one big break – lunch. Junior high and high school students get as much as an hour, sometimes even a little more, to eat and hang out. In my school, older students (grades 11 and 12) were even allowed to go off-campus (离开学校) for meals. Those who had driver’slicenses and cars could drive around our town, listening to music and eating fast food. It was a fun break in the middle of those long school days.1. What did the writer learn just after moving to China?A. Students do morning exercises at school.B. Students have long breaks between classes.C. Chinese kids are good at sports.D. Chinese kids like to do morning exercises.2. Paragraph 2 is mainly about _____.A. why the writer liked recess as a childB. what recess in the US is likeC. how US students do their morning exercisesD. what the writer’s favorite exercise is3. In the US, students in grades 7 to 12 don’t have recess because _____.A. they have little time between classesB. they are no more interested in exercisingC. they have to do homework during their breaksD. they can exercise during PE class instead4. From the last paragraph, we know that _____.A. US students have their lunch at schoolB. US students don’t eat much during lunchC. the older students get, the busier they areD. high school students get a long lunch breakDay 4Is anybody out there?When you look into the night sky, you might not think that there’s someone out there looking right back at you. But a new study says that there are more than 1,000 stars (恒星) in direct (直接的) line of sight to Earth that might have life. That is to say, life on the planets that orbit (绕轨道运⾏) these stars would also be able to see our planet. There might be aliens watching us! Lisa Kaltenegger, the lead author (主要作者) of the study, said we can see some of these stars from right here on Earth without telescopes (望远镜). Kaltenegger found that there are about 1,000 stars that are not only close enough for us to see, but also have some of the same qualities (特质) as our own sun.For now, we have no idea if there really is life on the planets that orbit these stars. However, researchers will be able to start scanning (扫描) the atmospheres (⼤⽓) of these planets with the help of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope next year. The scans could turn up signs (迹象) of life on these planets.“If we’re looking for intelligent life (智慧⽣物) in the universe that could find us and might want to get in touch, we’ve just created the star map of where we should look first,” Kaltenegger said.1. Which of the following is TRUE?A. There are aliens in outer space.B.There are over 1,000 stars that directly face Earth.C.We cannot see any stars without telescopes.D. There is life on the planets that orbit some stars.2.Life might exist on planets near some of the stars because _____.A. the stars are similar to our sunB. the stars are close to EarthC. we can see the stars without telescopesD. the stars have similar atmospheres to Earth3. To see if there is life on other planets, scientists _____.A. will send spacecraft to find signs of lifeB. will use a telescope to scan for signs of lifeC. will scan the atmospheres of the stars。

牛津译林版八年级英语上阅读理解专项强化训练含答案Day OneSong without sightIn 1798, German composer Ludwig van Beethoven marked the first passage of his newest composition (作曲) with the Italian term "grave", meaning slow and solemn (肃穆的). He was troubled to learn that he was losing his hearing. But his Sonata Pathétique (《悲怆奏鸣曲》) sounded exciting and optimistic (积极的). It has inspired (激励) many people over the years. On Aug 29, 18-year-old Xiong Linghao from Chengdu Special Education School played the sonata at the 13th Shanghai International Youth Piano Competition. A video of her performance has gotten 7 million views online. It's been a long and hard journey for Xiong. She lost her eyesight due to a medical accident when she was still a baby. Her mother later found that Xiong had a talent for music. At age 3, she could play children's songs on a small electric (电子的) piano. At age 6, she started learning the piano for real. Unlike people who can see the keyboard (键盘), she must remember where each note is. Practice is keybecause she needs to form muscle memory (肌肉记忆) so she can find the right keys. She practices six to eight hours every day. "I listen to the melody (旋律) again and again and then send what I hear to my fingers. I used to practice with each hand separately before I could play with both hands together," Xiong said. Xiong won the Special Jury Prize (评审团特别奖) at the competition. "The piano has accompanied (陪伴) me through my ups and downs in its own way," she said. "It empowers me and brings so much pleasure (乐趣) into my life."1. Xiong Linghao got attention online for _____.A. being a blind piano playerB. being a young piano playerC. her outstanding memoryD. her sad experience2. Paragraph 3 is written to show _____.A. how Xiong lost her eyesight B. how Xiong started to learn the pianoC. how Xiong practiced piano D. how Xiong recovered from an accident3. From what Xiong said, we know that _____.A. she easily remembers where each key isB. she spends a lot of time practicing the pianoC. she gets bored with practicing only one melodyD. she can play any melody after listening to it4. Xiong's experience is _____.A. dangerousB. excitingC. encouragingD. commonDay TwoTaking care of our outdoor workWhat kinds of chores do you usually do around the house? Maybe you clean your room, wash the dishes, sweep or mop (拖) the floor. All of these are "indoor" chores. But in many places –especially in rural (农村的) areas and suburbs (郊区) in the US –kids have different "outdoor" chores during different seasons. In the fall, the most common outdoor chore is raking (清扫) leaves. As trees lose their leaves in fall, the leaves will pile up (堆积) in people's yards. It is up to each family to rake up the leaves and put them in big trash bags. After a heavy snowfall in winter, children help shovel (铲) snow in their front yard. Otherwise (否则), it might be hard for families to leave their homes. Spring and summer bring lots of rain and sun, which make the grass in people's yards grow tall. It is common for kids to mow (割草) their yards to keep them fresh and neat (整洁的). Doing all of these chores might sound like a lot of work. Fortunately (幸运的是), most families give their kids a little bit of money for doing them. People who don't have children might even pay neighborhood kids to take care of chores for them. Either way, it's a good way to make some money if you aren't old enough to have a real job yet.1. In the US, the most common outdoor chore in fall is _____.A. mopping the floorB. walking dogsC. raking leavesD. mowing yards2. In winter, people shovel snow in their front yard because _____.A. they like to keep their yard clean and neatB. grass won't grow if snow is on itC. it is a traditional winter outdoor activityD. the snow might block their way out3. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Doing outdoor chores is difficult.B. Kids can earn money by doing outdoor chores.C. People without kids find it hard to do chores.D. US parents don't want to do outdoor chores.4. The story is mainly about _____.A. ways of making money in the USB. different outdoor chores in the USC. differences between outdoor chores in China and the USD. why people in the US have yardsDay ThreeBe honest alwaysDuring the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220), there was a government official (政府官员) named Yang Zhen. One day, Yang ran into his old coworker (同事) Wang Mi during a trip. In the past, Yang noticed Wang's talent and promoted (提拔) him. Wang never forgot Yang's help and invited Yang to stay over for the night. It was near midnight when Wang knocked on the door of Yang's bedroom. He handed Yang a bag andsaid, "This is to thank you for teaching me and helping me become who I am today." Yang looked in the bag. It was full of gold ingots (金锭). "Do I look like a person who accepts (接受) bribes (贿赂)? I thought you knew me well!" Yang said angrily. "It's late at night. No one will know if we keep it a secret," said Wang. "What do you mean no one would know? Heaven (天) knows, Earth (地) knows, you know and I know," Yang said. Wang left the room in shame (羞愧).1. Yang Zhen promoted Wang Mi because _____.A. he knew Wang was talentedB. he wanted to thank Wang for his helpC. Wang was his old coworkerD. Wang lived a poor life2.

The China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) took place from Sept 4 to 9. It is a major (主要的) service trade event. Visitors saw how new technologies, such as artificial intelligence and 5G, are used in different areas. One highlight (亮点) this year was service robots. Let's look at three of them.Robot dogUnitree, a company in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, has made a robot dog. With an AI-powered smart camera, it can record everything it sees inreal time. It can move up to 3.3 meters per second. It can also carry objects weighing up to 5 kg, about as heavy as 10 bottles of water. The robot dog can give people a hand in many ways. For example, it can move (搬运) goods or search for people who go missing during disasters (灾难).Garbage-sorting robotGarbage sorting is new to many people. Swiss company ABB has designed (设计) a robot to help us do it. It uses two arms to pick differentkinds of garbage that come down a conveyor belt (传送带). It then throws the garbage into the right bin. A screen (屏幕) can show how many pieces of garbage it has sorted.Ping-pong serving robotCan you hit back a ball that is served (发) by a robot? Find out byplaying against a ping-pong serving robot made by Chinese company Siasun. The robot can serve balls one by one automatically (自动地).

牛津译林版八年级英语上册阅读理解专项强化训练题含答案Day 1Each of us has something to offer to othersMost people think that they don't have the power to change the world. Do we have the power to impact (影响) other people in our lives? The 1946 US film It's A Wonderful Life tells us the answer. In the film, everyone has his or her own guardian (守护) angel. It starts with George Bailey, a man who has given up on his dream and wants to kill himself on Christmas Eve because of financial (财务的) difficulties. This draws the attention of his guardian angel, Clarence Odbody. The angel shows Bailey how different life would be for his family and his community if he wasn't around. When Bailey was 12, for example, his brother Harry fell through ice and Bailey jumped into the freezing (冰冻的) water to save him. If Bailey had not been there, Harry would have died and would never have become a war hero. This movie teaches people a lesson about the power of kindness. Bailey sacrifices (牺牲) a lot of things for the welfare (福利) of the town. He also tries to help people living in the townachieve (实现) their goal of having their own houses. Bailey's kindness is repaid in the end when almost everyone in the town comes and helps him through his troubles.1. Which film is the story about?______________________________________2.

This year, theworld's largest wooden palace is 600 years old! Have you ever wondered who made this marvel (奇迹)? In 1406, when the Ming Emperor Yongle decided to move the country's capital from Nanjing to Beijing, he started to build a palace at the heart of Beijing. His vision (愿景) was big. It took a million workers 14 years to finish it. Materials were sent from all over China to Beijing. Nanmu, the rarest of all Chinese woods, was used to make huge wooden pillars (柱子). It can only be found deep in forests over 1,800 km away from Beijing. Workers had to float (漂浮) the wood on rivers all the way north to Beijing. Stones were also transported to the palace. The heaviest stone in the Forbidden City weighs 250 tons. It was found 80 km west of Beijing. It was so heavy that people could only move it during winter. They poured water onto the road to create ice. Then thousands of workers pulled the stone on the ice to the palace. The project even changed the local landscape (地貌). While building a moat (护城河) around the palace, workers dug up soil and piled it on a hill north of the Forbidden City. That's where Jingshan (景山) came from. 1. What can't we learn from Paragraph 3?A.

These might sound a bit strange to you, but they're just some examples of what we call "fusion food" (无国界料理). Fusion foods are dishes that combine (结合) two or more different kinds of food into one dish. For example, the burger pizzahas a normal pizza crust (面饼), but instead of putting pepperoni (意大利香肠) and vegetables on top of the cheese, you add ground beef (like you would use to make a burger), ketchup, lettuce and tomato. Fusion restaurants are popular in a lot of big US cities. In fact, they are often seen as trendy (流行的), since they try to be creative when combining different foods. Fusion food usually combines dishes that are from different parts of the world. For example, Korean tacos are tortillas (墨西哥薄饼) that are filled with kimchi (韩国泡菜). There aren't many fusion restaurants in China yet. A person from Dongbei could probably never imagine combining their food with Sichuan dishes. However, I have tried kaoya pizza in Beijing. I have to say, it wasn't too bad!1. What is fusion food?A. A type of foreign food.B. A strangely-named food.C. A kind of smelly food.D. It is a combination of cuisines.2.

It is tasty.Day 4Women take to spaceIn 1969, the US became the first country to put a man on the moon. Fifty-five years later, it is expecting to become the first to put a woman there as well. NASA recently said that its Artemis program (阿耳特弥斯计划) will send a woman to the moon in 2024. It will be a great achievement to send a woman to the moon for the first time. But what happens when women go into space? Can they handle it as well as －or maybe even better －than men? The answer is a little bit of both, according to Varsha Jain, who works closely with NASA. On one hand, women are more likely to feel sick when going into space －however, men are more likely to feel sick when returning Earth. Women tend to (倾向于) have blood pressure (血压) problems when they return to Earth, while men tend to have vision (视力) and hearing problems instead. These differences may come from their different hormonal balances (荷尔蒙平衡) or body changes. However, a specific (具体的) cause is still unknown. Women also have some advantages in space. For one thing, they tend to be smaller, which means they use less oxygen (氧气) and take up less space in small spacecraft. Also, women often have better communicationskills than men, which makes them better-suited (更适应) for long spaceflights.1. What do we know about the Artemis program?A. It put a human on the moon in 1969.B. It will send a woman to the moon.C. It will be the second time for us to visit the moon.D. It will take place 55 years from now.2.
