No one else came up with such a creative idea as we did.” they said. So far, th ey have made £47,000.The goal of the website isn't only to get people to look at the advertisements that are painted on their faces. Harper and Moyse also paint advertisements on their faces to advertise themselves. They started on January 1st 2017. The first advertisement went for £1 a day. But now the price has moved up to £400 a day. However, they know that their success won't be long-lived. And they plan to stop once they've made the money they need. “We d on't know how l ong it will last, but you can ha ve some fun going through our website”.

Around 1,250,000,000 animals died in the fires.Like millions of others around the world, 18-year-ol d Rachel Ratell e from the US saw news of the fires.

After listening to the businessman's story, the old man wrote out a check(支票), and put it in his hand, saying, "Take it and pay me back here exactly one year from today."

Do you know how to make it? What d oes a chocolate factory look like? My class had a fiel d trip to a chocolate factory in Toronto.We visited an ol d building in ten groups. In the beginning, we put on some special clothes to make sure that we couldn’t dirty the workplace. After preparation, we went to the second floor and walked into the chocolate-making place. The floor was filled with different kinds of machines. Each machine has a different job. There are only two people working on the floor, because machines do most of the work.In the next room, we learned about the history of chocolate making. There was a picture of the factory 100 years ago. They had more than 1,000 peopl e working there. The factory is very different now. How greatly the technol ogy is changing our life!Later, we saw how machines mad e chocolate. We got a cocoa bean (可可豆), some powd ered (粉末的) chocolate and a final chocolate. I opened the cocoa bean and tasted it. It doesn’t taste sweet at all, and it’s like dark chocolate. The best cocoa beans come from South America and Africa. Farmers dry them in the sun. Next, workers cook the beans at a high temperature. Machines took the shells (果壳) off the beans and made the beans into chocolate liquor which l ooks like water. Then, they put chocolate liquor and sugar together to make dark chocolate. If adding milk, they mad e milk chocolate. The machine made them smooth like silk.Finally, we bought some chocolate at a shop in the factory. It was at a very low price.

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.

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.

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.

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 ________.

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. The sun was breaking through the clouds and warmed the cool air. I laughed as I ran with her around the yard.She smelled the grass when the wind blew lightly. After we went back inside, I threw a ball to her, and shebrought it back to me happily. Then she jumped up on my bed and took a nap of her own. It seemed like even while she was resting, she never found life boring.Luck’s life is always full of happiness. In her life, there is time to nap and time to play. There is time to sing, to listen to the news, but there is no time to be bored. After thinking about Luck’s life, I know we only get a certain amount of time to live and that we shouldn’t waste a second of it.Word Banknap 小睡tongue 舌头lick 舔second 秒26.Why did the writer take a nap?A.Because he had a habit of having a nap.B.Because he felt tired after lunch.C.Because he found nothing interesting to do.27.What happened when the writer went outside?A.His dog jumped up on his bed.

Now her parents can’t watch her all the time and she can do things freely. At the same time, she met a problem. She lived with her parentsfor more than 18 years. Her parents used to cook for her, so she never learned to cook before. At first, she went out to eat a lot, because it’s a cheap way when she spends some time studying how to cook.She planned to make fried cabbage. It is healthy and easy to make. First, she put a pan on the stove and turned on the stove. Then she put some oil on the pan. When the oil was hot, she put the cabbage into the pan.

There are different dark colors. You have many other choices besides black. Dark blue seems good and navy is not bad, either.Choose a shirt. Make sure there is more than one color in the shirt. Only one color, especially light color, may make you look much fatter. Remember, two or three colors are enough.Don’t believe the size on the tag. Sizes sometimes are different in different stores. So make sure you try on different sizes to get the best one. Don’t wear something if it is too small for you, because it can make you look a lot bigger than you are.Usually jeans are boys and girls’ favorite.

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。

I could smell her before I came close. She wore dirty(脏的) clothes and her mouth was almost toothless. I didn’t see her talk with others. If she was not asleep, she talked to herself. I always felt pity for her. What a poor old lady! She must be sad and hungry.One Thanksgiving, we had lots of food left over. I thought about the old lady. ______. So I brought the food and drove over to Fifth Street. It was a cold night. There was almost no one out. But I knew she would stay at the same place and I would find her easily. There she was, sitting on the ground near the post office. She was dressed as she always was. I drove my car over to her, rolled down the window and said, “I’ve brought you some food. Would you like some turkey and apple pie?” However, the old woman didn’t seem to be very excited about this.

Let’s take a look at some tasks that are easy for kids but not for robots.Pick things up.Picking things up is not easy. If we drop our pencil on the floor, our brains work hard. First, we must find the pencil and look at its distance (距离). Then we move our hands to it. A robot cannot always move its “hand” to the right place. Calculating the distance is not easy. Then, when we touch the pencil, it might roll (滚动) a little bit. Robots cannot easily understand this either. So, if you drop a pencil on the floor, a robot will probably roll it around the room.Get around in our world.If someone drops you in a building you’ve never been to, you might feel a bit lost. But you can look around, find a door and get out quickly. You will not get stuck (困住的) in a corner. But a robot will look everywhere for a door, even on ceilings (天花板) and floors. This is because it’s hard for them to understand spaces, especially large, blank things such as walls or ceilings. Scientists need to train them with lots of data to learn this.Understand the world made by people.“Common sense” is what we don’t need to think or talk about. Because of common sense, we do not look for doors on the ceiling. We pick up a coffee cup by its handle (把手). We feel whether it has coffee inside, and whether it is hot. A robot? It may turn the cup upside down. It may hold the hot part of the cup, hurting itself. Scientists have tried teaching robots common-sense rules. But even huge databases don’t help much. There are just too many rules and too many exceptions. Maybe they just need more time to learn.87.What might happen when a robot tries to pick up a pencil?A.It might not find the pencil.B.Its brain might stop working.C.It might stop to watch the pencil roll.D.It might roll the pencil around the room.88.To find a door, what will a robot do?A.Stay in a corner.B.Drop itself in a building.参考答案:4.推理判断题。

Scientists predict(预测) the climate will get drier during the next century. Therefore, it might be impossible to grow rice in the future. Some farmers are experimenting with new crops.

2.阅读理解April 22 is Earth Day. Everyone on Earth should care about and protect the earth!The earth has warmed by about 1°F (华氏度) over the past 100 years, but why and how? Well, scientists are not quite sure. Maybe the earth gets warmer and warmer on its own. But many scientists say that people are doing many things which makes the earth warmer. First, greenhouse effect (温室效应) is a very important reason for the change of the earth. People give out too much energy into the air every year. It makes the earth warmer. Climate (气候)change is another important reason. Sometimes it becomes too hot and sometimes too cold. Sometimes there is too much rain and sometimes too little. The change of the climate makes the earth warmer. In turn, the warmth of the earth changes the climate, too.When the earth becomes warmer, there may be more rain and a rise in sea level. It will affect the growth of plants, animals and people. On a Pacific island, 100 people have to move to higher ground because the sea is rising. These people can no longer live on the coast. Before that, two islands without people went underwater in 1999. Scientists say that the seas can rise by nearly one meter by 2100.People can affect the earth's air, land and water. As for us, we can do many things to protect the earth. For example, we can use fridges less. We can tell more people about protecting the earth.(1)Earth Day is probably set for people to ______.A. learn more about the earthB. make full use of the earthC. take better care of the earth.D. study the warmth of the earth(2)Greenhouse effect comes from______.A. sea risingB. climate changeC. nature's unbalanceD. people's activity (3)According to the passage, _______ many affect each other.A. animals and islandB. climate and the warmth of the earthC. fridges and animalsD. sea level and the growth of plants(4)We can infer (推断) from the passage that the reasons for the warmer earth are______ now.A. not very clearB. completely secretC. well knownD. not given yet (5)The passage mainly tells us that ______.A. there is more rain nowB. we should protect the earthC. we must stop pollutionD. sea level is getting higher【答案】(1)C(2)D(3)B(4)A(5)B【解析】【分析】这篇短文中作者主要分析了地球变暖的原因,并号召我们行动起来保护地球。
