河南省八年级英语下册Unit6Anoldmantriedtomovethemountains知识点归纳总结(精华版)单选题1、Although the man is in his eighties, he grows vegetables ________ in his garden.A．in publicB．in personC．in silenceD．in fact答案：B句意：虽然这个人已经80多岁了，但他还是亲自在自己的花园里种菜。
考查介词短语。
in public公开地，当众；in person亲自；in silence沉默地；in fact事实上。
根据题干中“Although the man is in his eighties”可知这个人已经80岁了，句子前后是让步关系，由此可推出是说亲自在花园里种菜，用in person符合题意。
故选B。
2、—Do you believe that paper is made _____ wood?—Yes, I do. And you can see that books are made ______ paper.A．from; fromB．from; ofC．of; fromD．of; of答案：B考查介词的用法。
be made of“由……制成 (物理变化)”，be made from，“由……制作（发生化学变化，制成以后看不见原材料）”。
因此第一空使用be made from；第二空使用be made of。
3、He stopped playing baseball ________ his illness.A．because ofB．at the end ofC．next toD．instead of答案：A句意：因为疾病他停止了打棒球。
考查介词短语。
because of因为；at the end of在……的最后；next to挨着，相邻；instead of代替，而不是。

This is what an address looks like: Emily@ star. net. Write a message, type in the person's e-mail address, and then send the message across the Internet.

You have a piece of string of 10 centimeters (厘米) long. The task is to take out that piece of ice with the help of the string, but you must not touch（接触）the ice with your fingers.You may ask your friends to try doing that when you are having dinner together. There is a saltcellar(盐瓶) on the table. You must use salt when you do this experiment.First you put the string across the piece of ice. Then put same salt on the ice. Salt makes ice melt(融化). The ice round the siring will begin to melt. But when it melts, it will absorb （吸收）heat. The cold ice cube will make the salt water freeze(结冰) again.After a minute or two you may raise the piece of string and with it you will raise your piece of ice!This experiment can be very useful to you. If, for example, there is ice near the door of your house, you must use much salt to melt all the ice. If you don't put enough salt, the water will freeze again.6.

But it is really moving all the time. It turns around a make-believe line through its center. We call this make-believe line the earth’s axis(地轴). The two ends of the earth's axis are called its poles. It makes the earth travel twenty-four hours around its axis once.We look at the sun and say it rises and travels across the sky, but the sun doesn't really do so. It is the turning of the earth which makes us feel as if the sun were moving across the sky. We can't see that the earth is moving because everything else on the earth is turning with us. As the earth turns around every twenty-four hours, first one half faces the sun and then the other half. When our half of the earth is facing the sun, we say it is day. When our half is away from the sun, we say it is night. It is the turning of the earth that tells us when to go to bed and when to get up.11. What's the meaning of the phrase “a make-believe line"?A.
