It grows about 50 centimeters long, not including its tail, 30 centimeters tall and weighs from 3 to 7 kilos.The Arctic foxes are white or blue in color. The white ones are white in winter, but grey-brown in summer. The blue ones are blue-grey all year round. The Arctic foxes have long, thick hair that is called fur. And the long fur covers their whole bodies, including both their cat eyes and rabbit feet, to keep them warm in the low temperature in the Arctic.The Arctic foxes feed mainly on birds, birds' eggs and other small animals. Teamwork is the way they look for food, and they don't like to do that alone.Baby Arctic foxes are very lovely. They don't open their eyes until a week after their birth. For the first half of the year, their parents offer them food. They begin to look for food on their own when they are about six months old. The next year they can live alone.Today, the number of the Arctic foxes is becoming smaller and smaller, because people kill them for their fur to make beautiful coats for money. Something must be done to protect the Arctic foxes.56.

The old man was really good at fishing and it didn't take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish. But the child shook her head. The old man was surprised and asked, "Why don't you want the fish?"The child replied, "I want the fishing rod (竿) in your hands."The old man asked," Why do you want the rod?""It doesn't take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won't be afraid of not having any more fish to eat."I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesn't know how to fish, she cannot have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod. It's useless to only have a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the most important, not the fishing rod.Too many people think that if they have a "fishing rod" in their life, they will no longer fear the wind and rain. They are just like the child, who thought that if she had a fishing rod, she would have fish to eat.61. The old man was fishing on the bank of _____.A. a streamB. a riverC. a poolD. a lake62. Why did the child refuse the fish the old man gave her?A. Because she didn't like fish.B. Because she wanted his fishing rod.C. Because the old man had few fish.D. Because she wanted to learn fishing skills.63. The writer thought the child was ____ after she explained (解释) why she didn't want the fish.A. cuteB. foolishC. hard-workingD. smart64. The article mainly tells us _____.A. "fishing skills" are more important than "the fishing rod" in lifeB. if you have a fishing rod, you'll have a lot of fish to eatC. if you have a "fishing rod" in your life, you won't be afraid of anythingD. "the fishing rod" is more important than the fish that people catch65. What is the best title (标题) for the article?A. The Fishing ExperienceB. The Fishing GirlC. The Fishing ManD. The Fishing Rod答案：51-55. DBACD 56-60. CBDCA 61-65. BCBAD四．阅读理解（20分）AWill it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? A short time ago, a test was given in the United States. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfasts.The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, egg, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen more carefully.The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight(增加体重) instead of losing it. You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.( )46.

牛津译林版八年级上册英语期末复习：阅读理解专项练习题ⅠAEveryone needs friends. As the old saying goes, "Friendship is one mind in two bodies."But how can you find a real friendship and keep it? The Care and Keeping of Friends written by American author Nadine Bernard Westcott tells young students some smart ways to find friends.First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good fiend should do his or her best to help you. To make friends, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.But things cannot always be happy. Even best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, you can have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk with you, you may write a letter. Nadine says there are three steps about being friends again: tell him or her how you are feeling, say what you have done (已经做) wrong, and explain (解释) why you did this or that.The book also gives advice on some small but important things like celebrating your friend’s success (成功) .Even if you haven’t had a real fiend before, you will tart to think about having one if you read this book, because the book tells that friendship is the most important thing in your life.1.A good friend should ______ .A. have a lot of moneyB. be good-lookingC. be kind and patientD. be successful2.You can take ______ steps to fix a broken friendship.A.2B.3C.4D.53. What can’t you do if your good friend has done wrong?A. Write a letter to him or her.B. Have an honest talk with him or her.C. Tell him or her how you feelD. Have a fight with him or her.4.The writer of the passage really wants to tell us ______ .A. life is great if you have friendsB. an old sayingC. Nadine is an American writerD. what makes a good friendBI still remembered my first day of second grade. I walked into the classroom. No teacher yet. Girls were talking. Boys were trying to kill each other. I took some paper and a pencil, picked a desk, and went to work. Minutes later, a girl came over and sat on top of my desk. "What’re you doing?" she said. "Writing to 100," I replied."Is that you can do?" "No," I said. Then when I stand up from my seat to get my pencil sharpener, the desk fell over and hurt her leg.Her name was Jane. From that day on, she was my best fiend. Many years later, after college, I moved to California. Jane stayed in our hometown to be a social worker. We were friends for more than 50years. After her death seven years ago, I still think of her often, especially at the start of the school year.TV ads try to tell us what children need for school-new shoes, clothes, schoolbags.But rally, children’s needs are simple. They need the gift of friendship. For years, I feared how people saw me. But one day, I understood. I didn’t need to be smart or pretty or popular. I just needed to be kind.My grandson Henry recently finished his preschool and got a prize for "Friendship". Even an Olympic medal wouldn’t make me prouder! I think children need to know that they are loved. They need to know that they have all hey need and the best way to win friends is to be one5. After she came into the classroom, the writer ______ .A. went to talk with Jane quicklyB. helped Jane write the numbersC. worked quietly at her desk aloneD. asked the boys to stop fighting6.From the passage we know that ______ .A. the writer’s leg was hurt on the first day of schoolB. the two girls were close friends for many yearsC.

My best friend JaneB. How to choose friendsC. My first day at schoolD. Friendship is importantⅡAIn ancient India, there was an emperor (皇帝) named Akbar. He liked to ask his people strange questions. It was very hard to answer these questions and few people could answer them correctly.Once, he asked a very strange question. None of his people knew the answer. At this moment, a man named Birbal came to the emperor. "May I ask what the question is?" Birbal asked. Akbar said, "How many crows are there in this city?" Birbal answered quickly, "There are 50,589crows,my lord.""How can you be so sure?" asked Akbar. Birbal said, "Make your man count, my lord. If you find a greater number of crows than I gave, it means some have come to visit their friends here. If you find a smaller number of crows, it means some have gone to visit their friends elsewhere."Akbar was very happy with Birbal’s answer. Some questions may seem quite difficult, but actually they are open-ended ones. We just have to think about them in a cleverer way, as Birbal did.1.

Ideas are importantC. Uncountable crowsD. Think in a clever wayBHave you ever got your lunch, but not known where to sit? You don’t want to sit alone. But you are not sure who would be friendly and let you sit with them.Natalie Hampton, an 1lth-grader from Sherman Oaks. Calif. designed a new app called Sit With Us. It makes finding friends in the school lunchroom very easy. The free app went online on Sep.9. Students can sign up as "ambassadors" (大使) for a club. Then they can post "open lunch" events to invite others to join in.Natalie got the idea to create the app after she ate alone every day in her old school. The experience (经历) made her feel sad and she was even bullied. She changed schools because of that.People may want to know why you don’t just ask to sit down. Natalie said the app stops kids from being rejected (被拒绝) in front of others."This way it’s very private. It’s through the phone. No one else has to know. And you know that going up to a table won’t end in rejection," she said.So far, the app works well."I had my first club meeting, and everyone was very excited. People are already posting open lunches at my school. So I’m very excited," Natalie said.6.

And one event made our visit seem truly magical.We got to the front of the line at Space Mountain, only to find out that our little daughter Gloria couldn't take her ice cream on the ride. We were so excited that we all forgot ice cream was not allowed on the ride.Gloria broke into tears and we all had no idea what to do. Then Murphy, one of the staff (员工) members, came over. She bent down and told Gloria that she would hold the ice cream for her and give it to her when she finished the ride. Gloria said, "Promise?" Then she gave Murphy her ice cream, and she completely enjoyed the ride. Sure enough, as we walked out of the exit, there was Gloria's new friend with "her" ice cream. Now you and I both know what happened, because we know that an ice cream won't last twenty minutes on a summer afternoon in Florida. Murphy knew what time we would get off the ride; she went to the nearest shop and bought a brand-new ice cream thirty seconds before we walked out of the exit. Gloria said "thank you", but I'm sure she thought it was the same ice cream.We know that someone tried hard to make our visit special.

Now think of the feelings of the unhappy parents.""Ooh!" they all cried, though they did not really care."Think of the empty beds!""Ooh!""Is there a happy ending?" asked the second twin."Oh yes," said Wendy, "because a mother's love is great."Peter did not like this part."You see," Wendy went on, "the children knew that the mother would always leave the window open for her children to fly back in, so they stayed away for years and had a lovely time.""Did they ever go back?""Well, let us look into the future. We can see three adults (成年人) leaving London Station. They are walking to a house. Look! The window is till pen."Peter was looking at her seriously. "Wendy, you are wrong about mothers," he said. They all gathered around him. "Long ago," he began, "I thought, like you, that my mother would always keep the window open for me. I stayed away for years.

They lived on Earth for about 165 million years and suddenly died out (灭绝) 65 million years ago. Here is some information about them.*The largest dinosaurs were more than 30 metres long and up to 15 metres all. *The smallest dinosaurs were about the size of a chicken and had very long tails.*Most dinosaurs were hatched (孵化) from eggs. The biggest dinosaur egg ever found was the size of a football. There were egg-eating dinosaurs that stole eggs from other dinosaurs' nests (巢穴) .*A lot of dinosaurs have big heads,but they didn't have much brain inside. Most of the space was taken up with muscle (肌肉) and bones instead.*Some dinosaurs used their tails to beat their enemies and they had four feet andate plants. Some used their tails for balance and had two feet and two small arms,and they were often meat-eaters.We can only know about the lives of dinosaurs from fossils (化石) ) , eggs and foot prints they left behind. But we still don't know how they sounded,how they behaved, what colours they were and so on. Dinosaurs are the most mysterious animals in the world!1.

It is also the first city in the US to join the "Lights Out Plan". Last month people turned off the lights in the city’s tall buildings so that thousands of birds could get to their winter homes.There areover9,000kinds of birds in the world,and about 600 kinds of birdsmigrate. Every year in autumn. some birds fly over Chicago on their way to the south,and come back the next spring. Birds migrate for several reasons. Many birds cannot live in the cold,so they fly to warmer places. But there are other reasons too. Birds need to find more food and have babies in the south. Many birds like to have their baby birds in the same"house"they lived in last year,so they fly back there.Usually birds find their way by looking at the stars in the sky at night. Lights in tall buildings are so bright that birds may mistake them for stars. Unluckily, this may make them lose their way. So Chicago decided to take action to help those poor birds. Turning off lights really gives birds a hand.1. Why did people in Chicago turn off their lights?A. Because they wanted to save money.B. Because they liked the dark night.C. Because they were afraid that birds would make much noise.D. Because they were afraid that birds would lose their way.2. What does the underlined word"migrate"mean in Chinese?A. 迁徙B. 定居C. 冬眠D. 重生3.

Which of the following is NOT a reason for bird migration?A. They can’t live in cold winter.B. They need to find food in thesouth.C. They want to find their family members.D. They give birth to babies in the south.5. We probably read the passage in ______ .A. a storybookB. a history bookC. a newspaperD. a travelling bookBMany of us enjoy watching birds flying in the sky. But do you know they can teach us?Geese, for example, teach a very good lesson about teamwork. In the fall, Canada geese (加拿大黑雁) fly to the warm south to get away from Canada’s cold winter. They lift off in no order. Yet quickly they form (形成) a V shape with one bird leading the group.This V shape allows geese to save energy. When the lead bird moves its wings up and down, the resulting force of air lifts the next one. This continues down the line. The lead bird in front has the hardest job. When it gets tired i moves behind and another bird moves to the front. By sharing the role the group can travel great distances.During the long flying journey geese communicate with each other. They honk (鸣叫) from behind to encourage the birds up front to keep up the speed.What can we learn from the lovely geese’s experience and skills? ______6. Why do geese form a V shape while flying?A. To keep warmB. To save energy.C. To make them get tiredD. To get more food.7. Which bird in the picture works the hardest?A. aB. bC. cD. d8.

Every morning the farmer fed Bill in one corner and then fed Ben in another corner. This went on for many years. One day the farmer decided to do a little test. When the two donkeys were sleeping, the farmer tied a rope around Bill's neck. Then he tied the other end of the rope around Ben's neck. Hethen put some oats (donkeys' favourite food) in Bill's corner and in Ben's corner.When the two donkeys woke up, they were quite surprised to find a rope around their necks.

Even though I wasn't very nice to him, he never gave up on me.As time went on, I realized that we had some things in common, especially when it came to movies and TV shows. We began to spend a lot of time together hanging out. It gave us a chance to talk and get to know each other.Better still, Dan was always around when I needed advice on school or friends.

nearly all the water, leaving him just enough to live.The situation became so serious that the vegetables decided to use up all the water in the ground so that the tree would die.The tree answered back by not protecting the vegetables from the hot sun, so they began to dry up.Soon the vegetables were really weak, and the tree was drying up.The gardener wondered why and stopped watering them.When he did that, both the tree and the vegetables realized that it was better to help each other.They learned how to live in harmony with those around them.So they decided to work together,

people.Today more and more families own computers.Parents buy computers for their children.They hope computers can help them improve(提高) their studies in school.Yet many of the children use computers to play games, to watch video or to sing Karaoke instead of studying.So many teachers and parents complain that computers can not help children to study but make them fall behind.So computers are locked by parents in the boxes.In some other countries, even some scientists hate computers.They say computers let millionsof people lost their jobs or bring them a lot of trouble.Will computers

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Most 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?______________________________________3. What did Clarence Odbody do to saveBailey?______________________________________4. What is Paragraph 3 mainly6. What can we learn from the film?______________________________________Huge squares, great buildings and countless treasures (珍宝) –the Forbidden City never fails to take its visitors' breath away. 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. How long it took to build the Forbidden City.B. Who decided to build the Forbidden City.C. Where the Forbidden City was built.D. How the Forbidden City got its name.2. Paragraph 4 mainly shows that _____.A. North China had few treesB. some building materials came from far awayC. Chinese people were hard-working in the pastD. river transportation started in ancient times3. Workers transported stones in winter because _____.A. the icy rivers helped them transport stonesB. winter is the best season to make carvingsC. stones are lighter when they're frozenD. they had to use ice to move the stones4. What do we know about Jingshan?A. It was built with soil from the palace.B. It was part of the Forbidden City.C. It was moved in order to build a moat.D. It was there before the Forbidden City.5. The process of building the Forbidden City was _____.A. simpleB. difficultC. smoothD. dangerousBurger pizza? Korean tacos (墨西哥卷饼)? 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. Paragraph 2 shows an example of _____A. how to make a kaoya pizzaB. the writer's favorite fusion foodC. how fusion food is madeD. the most delicious fusion food3. What do we know about fusion food?A. Fusion restaurants are common in Mexico.B. Chinese people don't like to eat fusion food.C. It usually combines foods from different countries.D. People like fusion food because it is easy to cook.4. What might the writer think of fusion food?A. It is terrible.B. It is not too bad.C. It is not worth trying.D. It is tasty.In 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. After returning from space, female astronauts _____.A. might feel sicker than menB. might have blood pressure problemsC. might have hearing problemsD. might have vision problems3.The advantages of sending women into space include _____.a. they use less oxygenb. they take up less spacec. they have better communication skillsd. they have higher hormone levels than menA. abc B. abd C. acd D. bcd4. From the story, we can learn that _____.A. women act similarly to men in spaceB. men are not suited to live on the moon C. women have some advantages when traveling in spaceD. women are better astronauts than menDay 5One day, a teacher entered his classroom, handed out test papers and asked his students to 1 .

They are in Yancheng，Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve（自然保护区）is in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes (丹顶鹤) in the world，but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Cranes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine，too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also stop flood(洪水). But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.( )1. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are in the _______ of China.A. eastB. southC. westD. north( )2.

Please read the following passage.Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save you life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not lifts.From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible, learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average(平均高度的) person, hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room.Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leaked(渗) into the room.On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement(水泥) might end in injury. Bushes(灌木丛) and grass can help to break a fall.( )1. It is important to _______.A.put out the fire in the burning houseB. know the ways to escape the fireC. jump off a burning houseD. keep the door closed( )2.

However, we haven't found life on other planets yet.The Earth is a planet and it goes around the Sun. Seven other planets also go around the Sun. None of them has an environment with air, so people and things cannot grow. The Sun and its planets are called the solar system(太阳系). The solar system is a small part of our galaxy(星系).Scientists have also discovered many other galaxies in the universe. But they are a long way away because their light has travelled for many years to reach us.

It seems this may be a little difficult. But students from Xi’an did it.On April 10, more than 60 students from the Middle School Attached to Northwestern Poly technical University took part in the One Yuan Metropolis Survival. The charitable organization for teenagers called Imperceptible Education held this activity. Students not only have to live, but they also have to deal with a lot of hard tasks. It has happened in eight cities and is going to four others, including Beijing, in June.To make money, many students looked for part-time jobs and saw how hard life was. Zhang Qiyue, 14, asked more than 10 restaurants for a job and finally got one chance. “We were sad when they said no. But gradually(逐渐地), we got used to it,” he said. After being a waiter for an hour, he got 25 yuan.Some made use of their talents by singing and dancing in parks or shopping malls. Many people who walked by took notice and helped them. Zhao Jiacheng, 14, drew pictures and made paper crafts(手工). “This showed it’s important to learn a special skill,” he said.Living was hard, but finishing the tasks wasn’t any easier. They went to different places to finish tasks in a short time. The most amazing one was when they had to exchange things worth thousands yuan with only a piece of paper in half an hour. “We learned how to persuade others.

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 1Will we lose jobs?In science fiction films, we often see machines doing jobs that humans usually do. This is gradually coming true. By 2025, machines will do more work than humans, according to a new report. The World Economic Forum (WEF) report came out on Oct 21. It said that in the next five years, machines will take over about 85 million jobs. This means that machines will handle about half of all work tasks, almost twice as many as now, Quartz reported. Most of the jobs are either routine (程序性的) or manual (体力的) jobs in administration (行政) for white- and blue-collar (白领和蓝领) workers, WEF said. These include factory workers, accountants and mechanics (机修工). But there's not much reason to be worried. The report also shows that at the same time, 97 million new jobs will be created. New industries will be created as society changes and develops. Countries around the world are focusing on (专注于) areas like environmental protection, AI development and elderly care. This means there will be many new jobs for caretakers, big data specialists (专家), and cloud computing experts, the BBC reported. These jobs need humanskills such as advising, decision-making (决策), reasoning (推理) and communicating. "People need to learn new skills to deal with the change [in society]," the WEF pointed out.1. How many jobs do machines do now?A. 21.25 million jobs.B. 42.5 million jobs.C. 85 million jobs.D. 170 million jobs.2. Which job is most likely to be taken by machines in the future?A. Factory worker.B. Pianist. C. Scientist.D. Designer.3.

The writer probably agrees that _____.A. there will not be enough jobs in the futureB. machines can still be improvedC. people should make careful use of machinesD. people should learn more new skillsDay 2Finding hope in dark times lifts us upWho stands for human civilization (文明) better than pianists? Wladyslaw Szpilman is a good example. The music he plays is beautiful, but his life isin danger. That's the story of Polish director Roman Polanski's 2002 film The Pianist. Based on an autobiographical (自传的) novel, it's the story of Jewish pianist Szpilman. He hears about the Nazi invasion (侵略) on the radio. He is eventually caught and sent to a death camp, but manages to escape (成功逃脱) and lives in the ruins (废墟) of Warsaw. When the city is bombed (被……轰炸), he is no longer able to find food. But one night, he finds a piano and plays it. German officer Wilm Hosenfeld hears him and is surprised at his talent. The pianist survives with the protection and help of the officer, who understands the beauty of music and the importance of saving it. Hosenfeld not only helps Jewish people get fake identities (身份) and places to live, he also writes diary entries and letters that criticize the brutality (暴行) of the Nazis. It's people like Hosenfeld who can bring others hope in dark times. He shows that although evil exists (存在) in the human heart, so does love.1. What do we know about The Pianist?A. The story in the film took place in 2002.B. It's about a Jewish pianist.C. It made lots of money.D. It is a well-known musical.2. Paragraph 2 is mainly about _____.A. how Szpilman suffered and was savedB. what the movie's historical background was C. how Szpilman escaped from the death campD. why people enjoy Szpilman's story3. Hosenfeld saved Szpilman because _____. A. he knew that Jewish people are harmlessB. he had the same experience as SzpilmanC. he was touched by Szpilman's musicD. he was an old friend of Szpilman4. From the story, we know that Hosenfeld _____A. thought that all people are equal B. saved Jewish people who had certain talentsC. helped Jewish people fight backD. helped many Jewish people in secretDay 3Arctic ice is at riskA weak, skinny polar bear is standing on a small piece of ice, drifting (漂流) in the sea. He is losing the solid (坚固的) ice that used to be his home and hunting ground. There has been a lot of bad news in recent years about how climate (气候) change has affected the Arctic (北极). This October, a group of scientists returned from a year-long Arctic expedition (远征). They had more bad news: all Arctic ice may disappear during the summer in just a few decades (十年). "This world is threatened. We really saw how the ice is disappearing," said Markus Rex, leader of the expedition. The temperature (温度) in the Arctic is 18 degrees higher than it was 125 years ago. Even at the North Pole, the coldest point in the Arctic, scientists found badly melted (融化的), thin ice. Polar bears are notthe only animals that are suffering. Animals like walruses (海象) and seals also depend on the ice to rest, give birth and raise babies. The loss of ice means the loss of their habitat (栖息地). Since there's now more rain, moss (苔藓) and grass are locked in ice instead of snow. Many reindeer (驯鹿) starve (挨饿) to death because they can't get to their food under the hard ice. According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the number of reindeer has dropped by 56 percent in the last 20 years. Melting sea ice is also opening the door for more human activity, such as shipping, traveling and fishing. This will disturb (扰乱) the area's environment and the Arctic would never be the same again.1. How is climate change affecting theArctic?______________________________________2. How has the temperature in the Arctic changed over theyears?______________________________________3. How is melting ice affectinganimals?______________________________________4. Why are reindeer dying in theArctic?______________________________________5. What will happen in the Arctic if human activityincreases?______________________________________Day 4Racing to find a COVID cureScientists around the world have been racing to find a vaccine (疫苗) for the novel coronavirus as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. Some countries have started testing their vaccines, including China. The country now has 13 vaccine candidates (候选) in clinical trials (临床试验), according to China Daily. You might be wondering –how exactly do vaccines work? The answer is actually very simple. The first vaccine was found in 1796, when English doctor Edward Jenner exposed (暴露) a13-year-old boy to a small amount of the cowpox virus (牛痘病毒). Cowpox is a cousin of the deadlier disease smallpox (天花). Amazingly, the boy developed immunity (免疫力) to smallpox －and in 1798, the first smallpox vaccine was created. You see, when our bodies are exposed to small amounts of dead or weakened (削弱的) viruses, we create special cells called antibodies (抗体). If we're exposed to the same viruses later, our antibodies can kill them off, even if they're stronger. Since Jenner's discovery, we've come up with many vaccines, including those for chicken pox (水痘) and the flu (流感). However, developing a safe and useful vaccine takes time. Some vaccines simply don't work, while others have uncomfortable or even dangerous side effects (副作用).About 60,000 people in China have received COVID-19 trial vaccinations so far, according to CGTN. They have not reported any serious side effects. However, clinical trials must be finished before the vaccine is ready for more people.1. Paragraph 2 explains _____.A. how vaccines workB. what vaccines are made ofC. how the first vaccine was discoveredD. what kinds of vaccines we have today2. How do vaccines work?①The patient is exposed to small amounts of dead or weakened viruses.②The patient is exposed to the same virus later.③The patient's antibodies kill the virus off.④The patient's body creates antibodies.A. ①②③④B. ②①④③C. ②④①③D. ①④②③3. The COVID-19 vaccine is not ready for the public because _____.A. its clinical trials are not finishedB. it is said to have side effects C. mass production has not started yetD. it has been found to be ineffective4. From the story, we know that _____.A. every virus has a vaccineB. vaccine testing is easyC. the pandemic will be over soonD. vaccines are difficult to createDay 5The castle (城堡) of Prince Llywelyn stood in the Welsh (威尔士) mountains, next to a dark forest full of wild animals. Llywelyn led a happylife. There were 1 things that he loved most in the world: his wife, his baby son and his dog, Gelert. Gelert was a strong, brave(勇敢的) dog. Gelert loved the baby and slept under his bed to 2 him every night. One day, Llywelyn and his wife had to 3 the castle early in the morning. Llywelyn told the dog to 4 the baby while he was away. At the end of the day, Llywelyn and his wife returned to the castle. As Llywelyn walked into the baby's bedroom, he could not see the baby anywhere. What had 5 ? Gelert was covered in blood (血). Llywelyn's first thought was that his dog had 6 the baby. Terribly angry, he immediately (立刻) took out his knife and killed the dog he had loved so much. It was then that he saw his baby 7 and well, sleeping under a blanket (毯子). The dead body of a huge wild dog lay next to him.

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 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 schoolstudents 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 and stop their children from eating foods that are high in sugar, fat and salt.1.

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 hands and walked past eachfamiliar (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 inVictoria?______________________________________2. How long did Victoria's lockdown last?_______________________________________3. What did people in Victoria do after the lockdown waslifted?_______________________________________4. Why were there long lines in front of barbershops?_______________________________________5. How did the writer feel after going out with herfriend?_______________________________________6. What does the writer remind us about at the end of herstory?_______________________________________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's licenses and cars could drivearound 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. "Ifwe'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 starsD. will help NASA invent new telescopes4. What do we know from the last paragraph?A. It's important to look for life in space.B. We need to create a star map for the whole universe.C. There must be intelligent life in the universe.D. The stars we've discovered might help us find life in space.Day 5More than 700 years ago, Scotland was fighting with England. The King of England wanted to control Scotland. He had a strong army (军队), so it was 1 for the Scots to fight back. Scotland lost many battles. Eventually, King Robert of Scotland had to 2 from the English army. One rainy day, King Robert 3 in a cave (洞穴). He thought that he was not good enough to be the king. He was so 4 that he didn't even see the spider near him. He looked up when he saw the spider climbing. It was trying to climb up to its web (蛛网) at the top of the cave, but it 5 . "How sad!" thought King Robert. "The spider is like me.

But the spider tried again and again. King Robert watched while it slowly climbed back to its web. After an hour, the spider 8 the web. "You are really great," the king said. "If you can keep trying, I can too. I must carry on fighting."Then the king's army grew stronger and successfully 9 the English army. Nobody knows if this is a true story.

Everybody in the United States uses this word again and again every day and everywhere. You pick up the phone and the first word you hear is “hello!” You meet a friend in the street and the first word you say is “hello!”Where did the word come from? The American inventor(发明家), Thomas Edison, was the first person to use “hello” in the late 18th century soon after the invention of the telephone.At first people greeted each other on the phone with “Are you there?” They were not sure the new thing could really carry voices.

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.

When we argue, don’t let hearts become distant.(C)Hi, everybody! I’m Max, now I'm studying in an international school in Canada. Students here also spend much time on homework. How difficult the homework is depends on (取决于) what subject you are learning.For English, we usually put together presentations(展示). I will look for some information on the Internet. 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. So I get faster and faster at doing my homework.No matter what homework you get, just try your best.56. What decides the difficulty of students’ homework according to the passage?A. The teachers.B.

The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 means ________.A. the English presentationB. the geography posterC. the history essayD. the science homework60. What can we learn from the passage?A. Of all the subjects the writer likes science most.B. The writer always tries her best to complete her homework.C. Homework in Canada is more difficult than in China.D. Doing homework is a piece of cake for the writer.46-50CDCAD 1-55 DCBAD 56-60 BCBDBAWhat can you do when someone hurts you? Most people may be angry or even fight with theone who hurts him or her. 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。

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 1Girls rule for a dayImagine (想象) running a whole country at just 16 years old. On Oct 7, Finnish teen Aava Murto became her country's prime minister (总理) for one day. Murto's chance to be PM was part of a global campaign (活动) called Girls Takeover by Plan International, a children's charity (慈善机构). The campaign teaches people how to improve gender equality (性别平等). Several countries have allowed young girls to step into the shoes of their leaders as part of the campaign. These countries include Kenya, Peru, Sudan, and Vietnam. This year, the campaign's focus is on providing technological opportunities (机会) for girls. Finland is now in its fourth year taking part in Girls Takeover. Murto posted (发布) a speech on Finland's official government (政府) website. She discusses gender equality in the field of technology in her speech. As Murto explained, if a girl says she plays video games, people will often think she is strange. On the other hand, if a boy says he does not play video games, peoplewould say he's strange for that reason. "Girls need to realize (意识到) more how important they are, and how they are just as good at technology as boys," Murto said.Finland's great progressFinland has long been known for its strong support (支持) for women's rights. The country's coalition (联合) government is made up of five parties (政党). The parties' top leaders are all women, according to Euronews. Finland's prime minister is Sanna Marin. She became the world's youngest prime minister last year at the age of 34.1. By the "Girls Takeover" campaign, girls _____.A. can be treated more fairly than boysB. can become politicians in the future C. need to raise money for Plan InternationalD. might have the chance to be PM for one day2.

The novel is about the dark side of human nature (人性), especially among children. In the story, a plane carrying several young boys crashes on a deserted island. The boys are the only survivors (幸存者). Ralph, Piggy and their followers are able to live in peace at first. They keep in line with the rules they learned in civilized (文明的) society and make decisions together. They also have a group of protectors and hunters led by a boy named Jack. However, as their instincts (本能) for survival and animalistic (兽性的) nature gradually show, Jack and his hunters want to take power. Some of the hunters hurt the younger boys. They start to lose their humanity (人性) and become savages (野人). The writer of this novel based (以……为基础) it on his own life experience. After Golding joined the army during World War II, he started to question human nature after he saw the horrors of war and the harm caused by atomic weapons (原子弹).Most of us don't know how dangerous we can be because we are subconsciously (潜意识地) controlling the animalistic part of our nature. But I think this book can help us better understand human nature and encourage us to lean toward (倾向于) the good.1. What is the topic of the novel Lord of the Flies?A. Human nature. B. Children's lives.C. World War II. D. Teamwork.2. How did the boys behave when they first arrived on the island?A. They fought for power.B. They lived in peace. C. They didn't try to survive.D.

It shows the dangers of atomic weapons.4. The writer might describe this novel as being _____.A. historical B. horrible C. meaningless D. educationaDay 3Why we love snackingIt's quite common for us to eat too much junk food. Just putting one tasty snack in your mouth makes you want more. And now, scientists have figured out (发现) why we do this. A research team from the US looked at the brains of mice to see how their brains control their eating behavior (行为). They found a set of special neurons (神经元) and named them "periLC neurons". These neurons affect (影响) whether or not the mice will continue eating after having a snack. The neurons fired (传递信号) less than usual while the mice were eating or drinking. If the neurons were stopped from firing at all, the mice would eat even more.vThis creates a cycle –the mice eat and drink, the neurons fire less, the mice then feel like eating and drinking even more, and so it continues. Of course, there are other neurons that make us feel full and stop eating. But this finding can help scientists begin to answer why it's so easy to overeat. And by further studying these neurons, they may also find new ways to solve problems such as obesity (肥胖) and diabetes (糖尿病).1. What did the scientists study?A. Why people like to eat junk food.B. How our brains work while we eat.C. How mice brains work differently from human brains.D. Why we can't stop snacking once we start.2. When mice are eating or drinking, the periLC neurons _____.A. stop firing entirely B. fire more than usualC. fire less than usualD. fire without stopping3. "Cycle" in Paragraph 3 probably means _____. A. a short period of timeB. something that happens over and over againC. a bad influenceD. continuous development4. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The findings might help solve health problems.B. The research might help people control their neurons.C. Overeating doesn't cause obesity and diabetes.D. PeriLC neurons can make people feel full.Day 4开心写作坊话题：如何处理愤怒情绪每个人都有愤怒的时候，但不良的情绪会伤人伤己，所以我们一定得恰当处理，你是如何处理愤怒情绪的呢？请你结合自己的经历和大家分享一下你的方法。

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When you open apps such as QQ or Douyin, do you get a pop-up (弹出窗口) that lets you put the app in "teen mode"? Many apps, especially those for social media and video, have added this feature (功能) to protect teenagers. The Paper says this will give them a better experience and make sure they're using the app in a healthy way. For example, video apps that have this feature might only allow users to watch 40 minutes of video. The videos that they can watch are marked safe and might even be educational (有教育意义的). There are no advertisements and users cannot top up (充值) their accounts (账号) with money. In QQ's teen mode, users can only talk to people who are on their contact (联系人) list. Their chat records show pinyin, which is useful for primary school students. However, teen mode does not work effectively (有效地) for all apps, according to a recent report by the Jiangsu Consumer Council. Some livestreaming (直播) apps have no difference in content (内容) between teen mode and normal mode. And in some video apps, teenmode will start after 40 minutes of viewing time. But users can get past it by clicking "I know" and continue watching.1. Why are apps adding "teen mode"?A. To give users a better experience.B. To stop teenagers from using the apps.C. To give teenagers a place to study. D. To keep teenagers safe from unhealthy content.2. When using video apps in "teen mode", teenagers _____.a. can watch whatever videos they wantb. have a limited time to watch videosc. cannot spend money on the appsd. can find educational videosA. abc B. abd C. acd D. bcd3. The last paragraph shows that _____.A. not every "teen mode" feature works wellB. teenagers don't like to use "teen mode"C. many apps do not have "teen mode"D. "teen mode" protects teenagers well4. The story is mainly about _____.A. whether "teen mode" is useful or notB. how app developers protect their teenage usersC. the reasons why apps added the "teen mode" featureD. the disadvantages of having "teen mode" on appsDay 2Finishing a great tripIn the UK, there is a popular route (道路) for cyclists: the road from Land's End in England to John O'Groats in Scotland. The road is 874 miles (1,407 km) long. It covers almost the full length of Great Britain. The 12-year-old boy named Laurence Chandler became the youngest cyclist to finish the route. Chandler took 20 days to finish the challenge. Each day, he cycled between 40 to 60 miles (64 km to 97 km). He spent six hours on his mountain bike daily. Chandler had to push through rainy and windy days. Cycling uphill was also hard. "It was much harder than I thought. I wasn't expecting (预想) so many hills and how busy the roads were," Chandler said. "But if you put your mind to anything, then no matter how big, you can do it." Chandler first thought of trying the route when he read an article about it two years ago. Later, as his father's 50th birthday came around, he decided to go for it. He was already used to cycling around his village and to school before starting his journey. During his ride, Chandler raised 600 pounds (about 5,200 yuan) for Smile Train. It is a children's charity (慈善组织) that pays for surgery (手术) for children in developing countries (发展中国家) who have cleft lips (兔唇).1. What do we know about Laurence Chandler in Paragraph 1?A. He found a new route for cyclists in the UK.B. He became the youngestcyclist in the UK.C. He cycled through Great Britain.D. He traveled around the UK on his own.2. Paragraph 2 is about _____.A. how Chandler felt about his journeyB. how Chandler got through hard timesC. why Chandler decided to go bikingD. what Chandler did during his trip3. From Chandler's experience, we know that _____.A. he will cycle the route again in the futureB. he raised some money during his journeyC. he started cycling just two years agoD. he is afraid of cycling up and down hills4. Chandler might describe his experience as _____.A. challenging B. enjoyable C. dangerous D. relaxingDare to take risks and learn more about yourselfDo you want to try skydiving (高空跳伞) or bungee jumping (蹦极)? Some people enjoy adventurous activities (冒险活动) like these, while others would never say "yes" to them. Vida from the Philippines is the former. She likes zorbing (太空球). In this activity, people climb into a large plastic (塑料的) ball and then roll downhill. Although there is some fear in it, Vidalikes the idea of taking risks, as long as it is in a way that is controlled. "There are straps (安全带) and helmets (头盔), so it's not dangerous, in fact. That is how I like to live my life anyway: Take risks, but be smart about them too." Some people also gain independence (独立) and confidence (自信) by doing these adventurous activities. Sarah from the US enjoys bungee jumping. In activities like skydiving, you usually have a professional (专业人员) with you. But in bungee jumping, you do it all by yourself. "It needed me to be brave (勇敢的) enough to get up on that bridge and jump without the help of anyone else," Sarah said. "That feeling of being independent makes it so attractive (有魅力的)."1. When zorbing, people _____.A. jump from a plane and fall freelyB. play ball games in the skyC. jump off of a bridgeD. roll downhill in a plastic ball2. What does Vida think about zorbing?A. The activity is too dangerous.B. People need protection to do it.C. There is no need to do it.D. Only smart people can do it.3. Sarah thinks that _____.A. bungee jumping helps her feel independentB. bungee jumping is too scaryC. adventurous activities can make us more healthy4. The story is written to show _____.A. what people can gain from doing adventurous activitiesB. why some people like adventurous activitiesC. what kind of adventurous activities are popularFunny discoveries awardedYour eyebrows might tell people something about your personality. Some people have a disorder that makes them hate the sound of chewing. And a knife made out of people's feces (粪便) is not very useful. All of these things sound strange. But scientists are winning international prizes for studying them. The Ig Nobel Prizes, which were first given in 1991, honor (奖励) studies that "first make people laugh, and then think." Ten unusual studies are chosen each year. This year's winners were announced online on Sept 17. Let's take a look at three of them. Reading our eyebrows A person's eyebrows can tell us whether he or she is a narcissist (自恋者), according to Canadian researchers Miranda Giacomin and Nicholas Rule. They took photos of 39 college students with neutral expressions (中立的表情) and had them fill out a personality test to see how narcissistic they are. Their photos were then shown topeople who were asked whether they looked narcissistic or not.? It turns out that people can find narcissists based on their eyebrows. Narcissists are more likely to have dark and dense (浓密的) eyebrows.Knife made of poop A group of scientists used frozen (冰冻的) human feces to make knives. It's said that an Inuit man once made feces into a frozen knife in order to kill a dog. The scientists gave it a try to see whether it would work. It took them eight days to collect the poop and freeze it into knives. They tested the knives on pork in a room with a temperature of about 10 C. But the knives didn't work well and even melted (融化)! They might try again in colder rooms in the future. Annoyed by certain sounds Do you ever feel annoyed by the sound of other people chewing food? If so, you might have misophonia (恐音症), a disorder (病症) that has been identified (鉴定) by scientists from the Netherlands. They studied 42 patients and found that 81 percent of them couldn't stand the sound of smacking lips (咂嘴) or chewing. Fifty-nine percent couldn't bear (忍受) the sound of typing (打字) on a keyboard or clicking a pen. However, only sounds that were made by other people annoyed them. Sounds that were made by animals and the patients themselves did not. Scientists believe that this is a new disorder and are making standards (标准) to identify it.1. What do the Ig Nobel Prizes honor?__________________________________2. What did Miranda Giacomin and Nicholas Rulefind?__________________________________3. What might narcissists look like? __________________________________4. What happened when the scientists tested the knives made out of feces?__________________________________用方框中所给单词的适当形式补全短文。

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. To thank Yang, Wang _____.A. treated Yang as his brotherB. went to bribe Yang secretly C. gave Yang a new bagD. helped Yang keep secrets3. Why was Yang angry with Wang?A. Because Wang gave his secrets away.B. Because he found Wang wasn't talented.C. Because he found Wang accepted bribes.D. Because Wang tried to bribe him.4. We might describe Yang as being _____.A. two-facedB. shamelessC. sillyD. justDay FourRobots in serviceA big fair just ended in Beijing. 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. Why did George Bailey want to killhimself?______________________________________3. What did Clarence Odbody do to saveBailey?______________________________________4. What is Paragraph 3 mainlyabout?______________________________________5. What happened to Bailey in theend?______________________________________6. What can we learn from the film?______________________________________ Day 2'City' in a cityHuge squares, great buildings and countless treasures (珍宝) –the Forbidden City never fails to take its visitors' breath away. 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. How long it took to build the Forbidden City.B. Who decided to build the Forbidden City.C. Where the Forbidden City was built.D. How the Forbidden City got its name.2. Paragraph 4 mainly shows that _____.A. North China had few treesB. some building materials came from far awayC. Chinese people were hard-working in the pastD. river transportation started in ancient times3. Workers transported stones in winter because _____.A. the icy rivers helped them transport stonesB. winter is the best season to make carvingsC. stones are lighter when they're frozenD. they had to use ice to move the stones4. What do we know about Jingshan?A. It was built with soil from the palace.B. It was part of the Forbidden City.C. It was moved in order to build a moat.D. It was there before the Forbidden City.5. The process of building the Forbidden City was _____.A. simpleB. difficultC. smoothD. dangerousDay 3Fusion food brings countries togetherBurger pizza? Korean tacos (墨西哥卷饼)? 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. Paragraph 2 shows an example of _____A. how to make a kaoya pizzaB. the writer's favorite fusion foodC. how fusion food is madeD. the most delicious fusion food3. What do we know about fusion food?A. Fusion restaurants are common in Mexico.B. Chinese people don't like to eat fusion food.C. It usually combines foods from different countries.D. People like fusion food because it is easy to cook.4. What might the writer think of fusion food?A. It is terrible.B. It is not too bad.C. It is not worth trying.D. 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.

To everyone's surprise, there were no 2 −just ablack dot (点) in the center of the page. The teacher said, "I want you to write about 3 you see there."

All of students 5 the black dot and tried to explain (解释) where it was on the paper. After all papers had been read, the teacher explained, "I just wanted to give you something to think about. 6 one wrote about the white part of the paper. Everyone wrote about the black dot.

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.

And this year, the word "OK" will be 181 years old."OK" is widely spoken all over the world, New York Daily News reported.It was first introduced to the world in the Boston Morning Post on March 23, 1839. It read "o. k. - oll korrect(all correct )". It was only a joke at that time. But later "OK" became widely used in documents and telegraphs. People used it to say that all was well.Today, we use it almost every day. "How about 2 o'clock? OK?" "OK." The word "OK" is easy to say and write. It is also clear enough for people to understand.It also has neutrality(中性)that other words don't have. You may say something is great, while other people may say it isn't. But with "OK", everyone usually agrees.There are different ways of spelling "OK":okay, ok，and O. K. But they all sound the same.
