人教版八年级下册英语期末复习：阅读理解练习题1Computers can injure you. Most other injuries happen suddenly. For example, if you fall off a bicycle and break your arm, it happens very quickly. But computer injuries happen slowly.Your eyesToo much light can injure your eyes, so never sit too close to a computer screen. Your eyes should be at least 50 centimeters from the screen. Remember to look away from it sometimes. This gives your eyes a rest.When you use a computer, the window should be on your left or your right. If it is behind you, the light will reflect（反射）on the screen. If the windows are in front of you, the sun and the screen will both shine into your eyes.Your hands and wrists（手腕）Hand and wrist injuries can happen because the hands and wrists are moved in the same way hundreds of times. If you use a keyboard for a long time, follow these three rules：1）Rest your wrists on something. 2）Keep your elbows at the same height as the keyboard. 3）Stop sometimes and exercise your hands, wrists and fingers in a different way.Your backSome people sit for many hours in front of a computer. If you sit in a wrong way, you can injure your back or your neck. So you should sit with your back straight. The top part of the screen should be in front of your eyes. Your forearms（前臂）, wrists and hands should all be parallel to （与……平衡）the floor. If you are sitting for a long time, get up every 30 minutes and exercise your arms, legs and neck.Enjoy your computer, but use it safely.1．The underlined word “injure” means “________”.A．保护B．影响C．伤害D．帮助2．To protect your hands and wrists, you should ________.A．keep your elbows above the height of the keyboardB．keep your wrists hanging without touching anythingC．keep your elbows below the height of the keyboardD．stop playing computer sometimes and exercise3．Which of the following is true?A．Sitting wrongly is only bad for your wrists and fingers.B．Your eyes should be at the same height as the top part of the screen.C．You should have a rest every two hours.D．You should sit in front of a screen and play computer for a long time.4．Which is the best title of this passage?A．How to Use a computer Safely B．How to Play Computer GamesC．How to Protect Your Eyes D．Computers Are very HarmfulI love my mother, but when it comes to shopping for clothes, my mother and I have always disagreed on what fits me well.Perhaps it’s because of our age difference, but to me, if it zips（用拉锁拉上）, it fits. My mum, however, usually tells me I need a bigger size.When I was a teenager, I wanted to dress like my friends, but my body size made it impossible. When my mom told me that something didn’t suit me, or I needed a bigger size, all I heard was that my body was wrong.To avoid arguments（争吵）, we stopped going shopping together. This continued until I got engaged（订婚）last year and needed to find a wedding dress and some clothes for my honeymoon.As I came out of the fitting room, my mother looked at the top（上衣）I was trying on, and I knew what was coming, “You need a bigger size,” she said.There was no bigger size. I put the top back and tried to hold back my tears. If we couldn’t agree on this, how were we going to survive shopping for a wedding dress?Maybe I should just buy it alone, but my mom is my role model and my favourite person to go out with. This idea of looking for a wedding dress without her seemed as scary（可怕的）as taking her with me.And so the day came. As I tried on a simple white dress, I saw tears in my mom’s eyes. “You look beautiful”, she told me. Nothing could have surprised me more.This one didn’t zip up at the back and I did actually need a bigger size, but my mother didn’t say that. She just told me how beautiful I looked. At that moment, all those arguments we’d had while shopping in the past disappeared. We didn’t buy a dress that day. We decided to see more.A few weeks and many shopping trips later, we found the perfect dress. We both loved it as soon as I put it on, and I couldn’t wait to wear it at my wedding.And during those few weeks, mom and I also found the perfect fit for our shoppingrelationship.5．After the writer tried on the top, she ________.A．knew she could find the perfect wedding dressB．was surprised by what her mother said to herC．argued with her mother over the size of the clothesD．became worried about the next shopping trips with her mother6．For the writer, in a perfect shopping relationship, ________.A．she always wins praise B．she feels she is needed C．she feels she is supported D．there are no disagreements at all 7．The writer wrote this article mainly to ________.A．give advice on how to get along with parentsB．stress（强调）the importance of wearing suitable clothesC．describe the advantage（优点）of shopping with other peopleD．show how she and her mother found a way to shop together8．“The Plaza” here is the name of ________.A．a restaurant B．a hotel C．an airport D．a shop 9．How much do you have to pay if you buy a book of $10 in New York?

Ancient paintings on the walls of caves show people living with dogs. In each county, dogs come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.The largest dog in the world was Zorba, a huge mastiff (獒，大驯犬) that passed away in 1990. When Zorba was seven years old in 1989, he was 94 centimeters (37 inches) tall. In other words, Zorba was more than half as tall as an adult man. At his largest, Zorba weighed more than a heavyweight boxer at 156 kilograms (343 pounds).In comparison, the smallest dog ever was a Yorkshire terrier named Sylvia from England. This dog only the size of a matchbox, measuring just over six centimeters (2.5 inches) tall and just under nine centimeters (3.5 inches) from nose to tail. The dog weighed about half as much as this book, and even a young child could easily pick it up with one hand. It died in 1945 when it was only twoSome dogs are remarkable, not for their size, but for their brain. One incredible dog is Endal, the companion of a man named Allen Parton, who has used a wheelchair since a car accident in 1991.In 2001, Parson was hit by a car, while crossing a road with Endal, and thrown out of his chair. Endal quickly moved Parton into the recovery position, covered him with a blanket, and pushed his mobile phone close enough for him to reach. Then, once he saw that Parton was all right, Endal ran back and forth to a nearby hotel, barking until people came out to help.Endal was rewarded for his bravery by being awarded a medal, and he has been the subject of a number of TV documentaries.16．Which sentence about Zorba is true?A．He was taller and heavier than an adult man B．He was heavier, but not taller than an adult man C．He was taller, but not heavier than an adult man D．He was neither heavier nor taller than an adult man17．According to the passage, the world’s smallest dog weighed as much as________.A．a child’s hand B．a matchbox C．half this book D．Zorba18．What does the underlined word “incredible” mean in this passage?A．wonderful B．awful C．excited D．unbelievableWhen Tom brought his lunch to her table, Cindy was unhappy. “Your friends are over there,” she said, pointing to the other side of the dining hall.“I would sit here today,” Tom replied. He cut a piece of pizza, took a bite out of it and looked around the dining hall.“So, what’s new?” Tom asked. Cindy picked at her food, said nothing, pretending (假装) that she hadn’t heard him. “Look. Cindy. I’m sorry.” Tom said, “I was just joking about your shoes.”“I can’t believe you said that in front of everyone,” Cindy said. Anger rose inside her, but she kept control of herself. “My mom bought me those shoes because she thought I would like them. Now everyone’s going to call me ‘Sparkle Toes’ forever.” She put her schoolbag on her feet. She tried her best to hide her new white shoes with their shining pink laces (鞋带). “I thought we were friends,” she said, looking down.“We are friends.” Tom said, “I was just trying to be funny. What can I do to stop you beingFinally Cindy realized that Tom meant what he said. She had an idea. She began unlacing her shoes. “Give me your laces. You wear mine for the rest of the day,” she said. Then she took a look at the second piece of pizza on Tom’s plate. “And give me your other piece of pizza. Then we’ll be even.”Tom smiled. “That seems fair.” he said, pushing his plate towards Cindy and reaching down. 19．Anger rose inside Cindy because ________.A．Tom was interested in her shoes B．Tom didn’t say sorry to herC．Tom wasn’t her friends any more D．Tom made fun of her new shoes 20．What’s the underlined word “even” mean in Chinese?A．扯平的B．清楚的C．均等的D．平衡的21．What can we infer from the story?A．Cindy pretended to be angry at first.B．Cindy’s new shoes would be popular.

I read about the famous building called the Leaning Tower of Pisa. But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza. I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza. It must be the best place to buy pizza in the world, I thought.Many years later I finally saw the Leaning Tower. I knew then that it was Pisa, not pizza. But there was still something special about it for me. The tower got its name because it really leans to one side. Some people want to try to fix it. They are afraid it may fall over and they don’t like it leans over the city.I do not think it’s a good idea to try to fix it. The tower probably will not fall down because it is 600 years old. Why should anything happen to it now? And, if you ask me, like what it looks like. To me it is a very human kind of leaning. Nothing is perfect. And who cares? Why do people wantthings to be perfect? Imperfect things may be more interesting. Let’s take the tower in Pisa for example. Why is it so famous? There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy, but Pisa tower is the most famous. People come from all over the world to see it.26．This passage is about ________.A．Italian pizza B．Italy’s problemsC．how the Leaning Tower of Pisa got its name D．why the writer likes Pisa27．The writer used to think Pisa was ________.A．in Spain B．not very famous C．not the same as pizza D．the same as pizza 28．The Leaning Tower of Pisa is ________.A．modern B．falling down C．600 years old D．60 years old29．The writer ________.A．doesn’t like what the tower looks like B．likes what the tower looks likeC．thinks it’s one of the most beautiful towers in Italy D．doesn’t like towersMy mother is a teacher, and I grew up with the challenges a teacher faces. I often asked her, “Why do you teach? What keeps you teaching?” The answer was always the same. “There is always that one child, that one moment that is worth.Now, I am a teacher, too. But different from my mother, I teach students challenging activities outdoors. And when my mother asked me the similar questions, my answer was “it’s that one child, that one special moment.”One of those moments happened recently. I was working with a group of girls in a four-week programme. Everything went on well through the “Team” events and we were moving on to a “High” one called the Wire(钢索)walk.In the Wire Walk, each girl had to climb up the pegs(木桩)in a tree to a wire, 8 meters high, and then walk across it. Of course, everything was safe for sure.When I asked who would try, a few girls raised their hands, and they finished the Wire Walk with little difficulty.But when it was Susie’s turn, it seemed that she didn’t really want to. I asked Susie if she was ready. She answered softly, “I suppose.”Now, Susie was at the foot of the tree. She started to make the long reach for the first peg. The other girls cheered for her. Then I found Susie was becoming nervous with every step. I realized shewould not go much further.Susie was halfway up. Then she stopped and held the tree tight, looking very afraid. Her eyes were closed. With her face against the tree, she cried, “I can’t.”The other girls sat in silence. I talked quietly to Susie, trying to relax her. I talked for a long time till I ran out of words.“I will still be your friend no matter what, Susie!” Mary broke the silence.To my surprise, Susie lifted her head and looked up to the wire. Then she turned to look down at Mary and smiled. Mary smiled back.Finally, Susie made it all the way across that wire. When she returned to the ground, the first hug she looked for was from ________.We all cheered.Moments like this keep me doing what I do. The young hearts continue to fill me with courage. 30．Susie stopped halfway up to the wire because ________.A．the teacher asked her to do it B．something was wrong with itC．she was too afraid to move on D．it was too high for her to reach31．From the story of Susie and Mary, we can learn that ________.A．helping others is helping ourselves B．a word of encouragement can help a lot C．outdoor activities bring people closer than ever D．a good teacher plays an important role in teaching32．Which is the most possible answer on the line?A．my mother B．me C．Mary D．her mother 33．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．That One Moment B．The Wire Walk C．Love and Courage D．The Young Hearts参考答案1．C 2．D 3．B 4．A5．D 6．C 7．D8．B 9．A 10．A11．C 12．A 13．A 14．D 15．C16．B 17．C 18．D19．D 20．A 21．C22．A23．B24．D25．C26．D27．D28．C29．B30．C31．B32．C33．A第1页共11页。

Soon an ambulance(救护车) arrived and took the boy to the hospital.At 6: 30 p. m. , the police arrived and started questioning people. About half an hour later, they asked me to go to the police station because I saw everything. I gave them all the information I knew because I really wanted them to catch the driver. I didn’t leave the police station until 8:00 p.m. After that, I went home because I didn’t feel like talki ng to anyone.The next day, the boy’s parents called me to say thanks.

But you might not know that sand is also a useful resource (资源).Sand is the second most-used resource in the worl d after water, the BBC reported. However, the UN said that sand is not limitl ess and that we might be running out of it.Sand is mad e up of very small pieces of rock, soil and minerals (矿物质). It can take tens of thousands of years to form.But now we are using sand more quickly than it is being formed. According to the BBC, we use about 15 billion tons of sand every year to buil d houses, roads and other things.People also put sand in the sea to make new islands. Singapore, for exampl e, is now 20 percent bigger than it was in 1965. Palm islands are three large man-mad e islands in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. They took 94 million cubic meters of sand to buil d.If people keep using this much sand, it will run out in many places. For exampl e, Vietnam may run out of construction (建造) sand by 2020, Live Science noted.Since people need so much sand, they are trying to mine (开采) more of it. But this is bad for the environment. Mining sand may cause beaches to disappear and more fl oods to happen in places close to the sea. Also, this may affect the habitats (栖息地) of many plants and animals.18．What d oes the story tell us about sand?A．It can only be found on beaches. B．It is the most-used resource in the world. C．It can never be used up. D．It can be used to buil d houses. 19．According to the passage, which country is using sand to build islands?A．Singapore and Vietnam. B．Singapore and United Arab Emirates. C．Britain and America. D．United Arab Emirates and Vietnam. 20．Every year, we use about________tons of sand.A．94 million B．20 billion C．20 million D．15 billion 21．We are running out of sand because________.A．there is only a littl e sand in the world B．we are using sand too quicklyC．we cannot mine enough sand D．our environment is badly polluted 22．In places cl ose to the sea, more fl oods will happen because of________.A．overmining of sand B．climate changeC．the increasing size of certain islands D．the d eath of some plantsLao Men Dong (also known as East Zhonghua Gate Historical Culture Bl ock) is awell-known place of interest in Qinhuai District, Nanjing. It is not big, but has attracted visitors of the whole city and the whol e country as well.To the south of Confucius Templ e, the bl ock is not far from Qinhuai River. Over twenty years ago, it was only a small block full of old houses and dirty, narrow roads. There were not many shops or public services.

I heard the kids say to their mom(in French),"They're good!" I knew it was French.Because I can speak and understand it.Then I noticed how mom was picking the fruits.At first I thought she was really l ooking at the fruits because she was facing them. But then I noticed how much she had to feel and smell each one as she picked them out. And often asked her son if it looked okay, but looked way above where his face was. Putting what I saw together,I was sure she was blind.Both of the kids continued to help their mom pick out the fruits .The son made sure the fruits were not obviously bad, and the daughter handed them to her mom. The woman then felt each one and smil ed, and the daughter woul d put them into their basket .The kids were smiling while helping their mom pick the fruits out.Their smile and gentle manner moved me in a way that never happened before .It was so beautiful to see such young kids so willingly help. Most kids that age woul d be picking out candies or toys in a store for themselves, instead of helping their mom pick out fruits as the two kids did.It was great to witness the moment, but not so great because I didn’t t ell the mom how beautiful her children were in their language .this is what I regret to this day.53．The women and her kids came to the market to buy .A．fruits B．vegetabl es C．candies D．toys54．According to what he saw, the writer was sure the mother couldn’t.A．speak B．see C．smell D．hear55．The writer was moved because .A．the mother was brave to face her problems.B．the kids were polite and kind to each otherC．the mother was careful in picking out thingsD．the kids were so willing to help their motherI remember the green coat in my fifth and sixth grades.When I needed a new jacket, my mother asked what kind I wanted.

I thought she und erstood for sure the kind I wanted.The next day when I got home from school, I discovered on my bed, a jacket which was not what I had expected. I went close to the jacket sl owly, as if it were a stranger.From the kitchen mother shouted that my jacket was in the wardrobe(衣柜). I rushed and pull ed at the clothes in the wardrobe, hoping the jacket on the bed wasn't for me but my brother. No luck, I wanted to cry because it was so ugly and so big. But I knew I'd have to wear it a long time before I'd have a new one. I looked at the jacket, like an enemy, thinking bad things before I took off my old and small jacket.I put the big jacket on. I stood in front of the mirror(镜子), turning right and left. I looked ugly. I threw it on my brother's bed and l ooked at it for a long time before I put it on and went out, smiling a "thank you" to my mom.The next day I wore it to school. At the morning break, my best friend, Steve, l ooked at me for a l ong time. The girls turned away to whisper. The teachers l ooked my way and talked about how foolish I l ooked in my new jacket. When it was time for the whol e school to get together on the playground, ______. Although they didn't say out loud, "Man, that's ugly!"

I received Cs on tests.I wore that thing for three years. All in those years no love came to me.I blamed(指责)that jacket for those bad years. I blamed my mother for her bad taste and her cheap ways.

八年级下学期期末重难知识点串讲+精练专题10 阅读理解专练（一）Have you ever been to Wuyuan? It is in the northeast of Jiangxi Province. People call it “the hometown of books”, “the hometown of tea” and “the most beautiful village in China”.I went there with my friends in April this year and had a wonderful experience. At first, we saw many ancient buildings surrounded by green trees and clear brooks (溪流). It was said that they were built during the Tang Dynasty. Then we visited Changxi village, a place famous for producing high mountain green tea. People lead a quiet and simple life there. They shared the tea culture with us and told us how to enjoy the fresh tea. Next we passed through the oldest lane (空中走廊) to experience the beautiful Rainbow Bridge. Although it was built 800 years ago, it stands as sturdy (坚固的) as ever. So it is still in use by the villagers now. I really liked this bridge because it could protect people from getting wet on rainy days. After that, we had a look at the Yuanyang Lake. It is in the west of Wuyuan and got the name of “Provincial Nature Reserve” in 1997. Along the lake is a forest with about 185 kinds of plants that are green all year round.1．Which is NOT the name people give to Wuyuan?A．The hometown of books.B．The hometown of tea.C．The most beautiful village in China.D．The most interesting place in China.2．What does the writer think of his experience?A．Wonderful.B．Funny.C．Relaxing.D．Excited.3．What do we know about Changxi Village?A．It has many green trees and clear brooks.B．It’s famous for producing black tea.C．People lead a quiet and simple life there.D．It was rainy there when the writer visited it.4．Which is the right order of the writer’s activities?① He passed through the Rainbow Bridge.② He learnt about the tea culture.③ He visited the Yuanyang Lake.④ He watched ancient buildings.A．④②①③B．②④①③C．④①②③D．②①③④A．A Beautiful Village in Wuyuan B．An Experience in WuyuanC．Green Forests in Wuyuan D．Friendly Villagers in Wuyuan（二）As everybody knows, tourism (旅游业) plays an important part in the development of a country, the life of people and so on. It can open our eyes to the outside world, bring us more knowledge, and make us feel good. However, tourism can also lead to pollution and many other problems to places of interest (名胜古迹).Luckily, “Green Tourism” is now being promoted and developed around the world. As time goes by, people will begin to realize the importance of these places of interest. “Green Tourism” teaches a person to love nature more and to protect it by enjoying its beautiful scenery (风景) and learning more about it. “Green Tourism” is the best kind of tourism as its purpose (目的) is to let people enjoy natural environments including wild plants and animals, and of course the cultures of many places.Compared with traditional tourism, “Green Tourism” is to learn more about nature and people. Traditionally, people travel around the world to enjoy themselves and pass time pleasantly. But “Green Tourism” are different. The tourists travel because they fall in love with the beauty of the protected areas. They want to make good use of natural resources (资源) but not use them up. For example, they study the animals, the culture and the customs (风俗) or a place so that they can learn more about the history and value (价值) of the area.In short, “Green Tourism” has a purpose and a plan, but not to pollute our places of interest.6．As everybody knows, tourism may bring ________ to a place.A．development and pollution B．pollution onlyC．development only D．more problems than good results7．The underlined word “promoted” probably means ________ in ChineseA．设计B．限制C．推广D．影响8．From the passage we know that the writer is probably ________.A．for all kinds of tourism B．for Green TourismC．for traditional tourism D．against any kind of tourism9．Different from traditional tourism, Green Tourism is ________.A．to use up the natural resources B．to eat different foods and pass time pleasantlyC．to make the places of interest more famous D．to protect nature and cultureA．give advice on traditional tourism B．introduce Green TourismC．tell people to change their travel habits D．show us how to have a good journey（三）People read books less often these days. With the invention of TVs , computer games and mobile phones, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.Books offer an outstanding wealth (财富) of learning and are at a cheaper price than taking a course. Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge(知识) of how things work and who or what people are.Everything needs reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the notes(注意) on a medicine bottle(瓶子) without good reading skills. Someone could not understand them and become very sick or even die.Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter your age.So I think people should read books.11．________ is the least often of the following activities these days.A．Watching TV.B．Playing computer games. C．Reading books.D．Shopping on line. 12．The underlined word “outstanding” means ________ in Chinese.A．great B．little C．helpless D．meaningless13．Which sentence isn’t the writer’s opinion(观点) according to the passage?A．Reading books can make us cleverer.B．Reading books is a waste of time.C．Driving without reading books may become very dangerous.D．Reading books is important to all the age.14．The writer thinks reading is ________ according to the passage.A．important B．helpless C．boring D．useless15．The best title(标题) of the passage can be ________.A．Why People Should Read Books B．How We Improve Reading SkillsC．What We Love Doing in Free Time D．People Should Enjoy Themselves（四）EducationEnglish Teacher Uses Creative Cartoons in TeachingA high school English teacher who has an artistic talent is encouraging (鼓励) her students with colorful drawings in her pupils’ exercise books.Du Mengsi, who teaches at a high school in Xuchang. Central China’s Henan Province, said some of her students lacked (缺乏) interest in learning English. So she started to draw cartoon characters for her students who gave the best answers to her questions.A video posted on Pear Video shows her drawings are not just simple doodles(涂鸦). Many are colorful detailed figures that take her more than a few minutes to finish.One of her better students asked for a drawing of Nezha, a popular character from one of the hottest cartoon movies. Du fulfilled (完成) the request and wrote some nice words.She didn’t only draw sweet little characters like cute cats. She drew a half-page-sized image of the monster (怪物) character “Venom” for one of her students. “I promised that if you could get full marks, I would draw Venom for you. Please keep up your great grade!”“My child loves learning English now.” the parent of one of Du’s students wrote on WeChat.China Daily 16．In which section can we read the news probably?A．CULTURE B．EDUCATION C．ARTS D．LIFE17．The news “English Teacher Uses Creative Cartoons in Teaching” was reported by ________.A．China Youth Daily B．Teens C．Global Times D．China Daily18．According to the passage, Du draws to________.A．draw her students’ attention to their weak points in EnglishB．introduce the hottest cartoon movies to the studentsC．show her artistic talent to the studentsD．raise her students’ interest in learning English19．What can we know about Du’s drawings?A．They’re for the best student in Du’s class.B．All her figures are sweet little characters in hot movies.C．They serve as prizes for the students’ good workD．It is easy for Du to finish them.20．It’s clear that________.A．some of Du’s paintings are just colorful doodlesB．the students are allowed to draw colorful pictures in their exercise booksC．one needs to get full marks to review Du’s drawingsD．Du might draw according to her students’ likes（五）A box of strawberries is left to rot (腐烂) in your fridge. You must throw it away at once. But it’s more than just strawberries that you are wasting.The life of a strawberry starts from a seed (种子). A farmer plants the seed and waters it. Later, people pick the strawberry and pack it in a box. A truck takes it far—perhaps 200 to 1,000 kilometers—to a supermarket. Water, labor, fuel (燃料) and money must all be spent in order for a strawberry to come to you. If you waste the strawberry, you will waste all of these things.It’s hard for people to realize how much work is connected with the food we eat every day. That makes food waste a big problem around the world. Every year, the total amount of food wasted around the world is 1, 3 billion tons. In China alone, people waste 35 million tons of food each year, according to the CCTV.As we throw food away, there are still 820 million people living in hunger (饥饿) around the world. Many children go to sleep hungry, and 3.1 million of them die from hunger each year, according to the UN. The Covid-19 pandemic (流行病), has made the situation worse, with many countries no longer transporting (运输) food to other countries during this time.Wasting food means wasting natural resource and missing the chance to feed a growing population. It’ s timeto take action (采取行动) now. Many countries are fighting food waste. What are we Chinese doing to stop it?China has taken an activity called “Clear Your Plate” since 2013. This year, some restaurants are encouraging people to order food using “N-1”. “N” stands for number of diners at a table. If there are 6 people at your table, your are encouraged to only order 5 dishes.With people living better lives these days, they are forgetting old values. It’s time to bring them back. We should clear our plates from now on.21．The underlined sentence “But it’s more than just strawberries that you are wasting.” means that ________. A．there are more strawberries in your fridge B．you are wasting not only strawberriesC．more strawberries will rot in your fridge D．you will waste more strawberries then22．What makes food waste a big problem?A．A lot of food goes bad easily.B．It’s hard to bring food to people.C．Many countries don’t transport food to other countries.D．People know little about the work connected with the food.23．How much food is wasted around the world every year?A．1.3 billion tons.B．35 million tons.C．3.9 billion tons.D．31 million tons.24．To stop food waste, China ________.A．tries to feed a growing population B．advises people to remember old valuesC．helps other countries transport food D．encourages people to order more food25．What is the best title of the text?A．Don’t throw away the rot food B．The life of a strawberryC．The activity “Clear Your Plate”D．Take action to save food（六）I was lying in bed yesterday afternoon after a big lunch. There wasn’t anything interesting on television. The book I was trying to read seemed boring, too. Finally I put the book down, closed my eyes.Suddenly, I felt a little and wet tongue lick my face. My eyes opened and I saw our dog Luck standing there and looking at me. I smiled and touched her head. After a while, I got up and we went outside.

People are encouraged to help others and to learn from Lei Feng. This year, my classmates and I went to do some cleaning in a street. We finished our work, took photos and talked with some people about their lives. One old lady said she remembered how all students used to do helpful work in the street. Another told us that when she was young, she and her friends would do a lot of simple things to help others. They would help people carry things or fix broken chairs at school. “But things have changed over these years. The young students don’t really understand the spirit of Lei Feng,” she continued. “They do good things because they are told to do and take photos to put on the school website (网站).”Her words made me think. We have been told to do things to help others on Lei Feng Day. But none of the love and care came from our own hearts. We should believe that they can make a difference. We don’t need cameras or praise (赞美). We can do better if we keep the spirit of Lei Feng inside ourselves. “Learn from Lei Feng” shouldn’t be a yearly fad. Everyone should carry out their good behaviors all year round and we will have a better tomorrow.41．This year, my classmates and I ________ on Lei Feng Day.A．fixed broken chairs B．did some cleaningC．carried things D．mended bikes42．From the passage, we know people used to do many good things ________.A．to help others B．to get praiseC．to take photos D．to help their own parents43．Nowadays, many students do good things on Lei Feng Day because ________.A．they care for others B．they are told to do soC．they really want to D．they like all the people44．The underlined phrase “a yearly fad” in the passage means “________”.A．一时的风尚B．每年的足迹C．一年的支出D．一年的收入45．Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage?A．Students should take photos to put on the website.B．People need praise to make a difference.C．We should do good things in our daily life.D．Lei Feng Day is on Friday.（十）Over your lifetime, your parents are likely to influence you more than anyone else. So if your dad likes football, you might grow up being a football fan. And if your mum loves reading, you might grow up carrying a book, wherever you go, just like she does. It’s interesting, isn’t it?But have you ever thought of how to get along with them? You should spend more time with them. It might be easy to stay in the same place with your mum or dad. But how much time do you spend just enjoying each other’s company（陪伴）? Instead of playing a computer game or watching TV, you can ask your mum and dad to play outside with you.You should also share your feelings with them. Many kids say they’d like their parents to help them when they’re in trouble. But your mum or dad might not know that you’re having some trouble. So please tell them if you’re sad.46．What’s the main idea of Paragraph(段落) One?A．Your parents are likely to influence you more than anyone else.B．If your dad likes football, you might grow up being a football fan.C．If your mum loves reading, you might grow up carrying a book wherever you go.D．It’s interesting to be with parents.47．You might be interested in ________ if your parents like playing badminton.A．tennis B．badminton C．football D．basketball48．What does the underlined word “ influence ” in the passage mean in Chinese?A．伤害B．支持C．影响D．打击49．What should you do to spend more time with your parents?A．Follow your parents everywhere.B．Stay at home all the time.C．Play computer games and watch TV.D．Go outside and play with your parents.50．The best title for the passage is ________.A．Parents’ hobbies B．How to get along with parents?C．Ask for help when you are in trouble D．How to share feelings with parents?（十一）Do you use a phone while walking on the road? Today, more and more people spend too much time watchingthe phones. We call these people the“Heads-down Tribe (低头族)” and we can see them everywhere.More traffic accidents are happening because more drivers use phones when driving. So we’ve made some traffic rules to make drivers drive more carefully. For example, heads-down tribe members who use phones when driving in Taiwan will be fined.Keeping heads down and using phones may cause accidents. Also, some interesting and strange facts happen to the “Heads-down Tribe”. Let’s have a look at the TV report. A man in America kept using his phone on his way home. As a result, he walked into a big lost bear. When he looked up, he was so scared that he turned around and ran away. Another fact is that we often see people in the restaurant eating face to face but focusing on (专注于) the phones. Some of them even have fun communicating with others on the phone.Phones are helpful tools for modern people. Are they good or not? It depends on how people use them. Let’ s be “healthy” users and try to be the“Heads-up Tribe”.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。
