⽜津译林版⼋年级英语上册阅读理解专项强化训练(⼆)DAY ONETraining in first aidFirst aid is a very useful skill to have. By learning it, you could save someone’s life someday. But in China, less than 1 percent of adults (成年⼈) have first aid knowledge, according to the China Science Communication website.The Ministry of Education (MOE) has realized this. On Aug 24, it issued (发布) a statement (通知) along with the Red Cross Society of China. It has asked all public schools in China to provide first aid courses, including CPR (⼼肺复苏) training, as part of their health classes.A 2019 survey by the State Council showed that 64.6 percent of schools already have these courses. However, the results have not been good. According to the MOE statement, future results are expected (预计) to be better.Other countries have also made efforts (努⼒) to provide first aid training to theircitizens (公民). In 1966, the US government said police officers, firefighters, middle school teachers and college instructors (教师) must receive CPR training. A 2017 survey showed that 65 percent of Americans have received CPR training.In Switzerland, all citizens learn first aid skills. In Germany, 80 percent of people have received first aid training, according to CGTN.How does CPR help?CPR is an important first aid skill that can save victims (受害者) of cardiac arrest (⼼脏骤停). The first few minutes are very important. If CPR is correctly performed on the victim within the first four to six minutes, the victim has a better chance of surviving (幸存).1. The MOE is bringing first aid training to schools because _____.A. few Chinese people have first aid knowledgeB. the World Health Organization said it is neededC. there are not enough doctors and nursesD. it can help people live longer lives2. What might we know from the 2019 survey?A. Students didn’t get high scores in their courses.B. The first aid training courses didn’t go well.C. The first aid training went better than expected.D. Students were interested in learning first aid.3. The last two paragraphs are written to show _____.A. first aid training is common in Asian countriesB. teaching first aid is not easyC. people in some fields should learn first aid knowledgeD. other countries have provided first aid training to their citizens4. What is the story mainly about?A. We can save others with first aid knowledge.B. More people will need first aid in the future.C. We need more time to train people in first aid.D. China is making first aid training part of its school courses.DAY TWOLearn to skate againIn 2018, I saw Canadian ice skater Tessa Virtue and her partner Scott Moir performMoulin Rouge at the PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games. It encouraged me to realize my dream of skating. When I was just a little girl, I practiced skating for three years, but had to give it up and focus on (专注) school.Relearning figure skating (花样滑冰) at an older age is not easy. While standing on the thin steel blades (冰鞋⼑) for the first time in years, I felt both excited and scared.I couldn’t remember any jumps or spins (旋转). Younger skaters learn difficult rotation jumps (旋转跳跃). Could I still do that?“You have as much right to be here as anyone else,” my coach said to me. I felt better and decided to work harder. I fell many times while learning new jumps, spins and dance movements (舞蹈动作). Each fall only hurts more because you are already bruised (淤青的). But I still practice for hours each day.I’ve doubted (怀疑) myself and the pain is hard. But the feeling of joy is amazing. Fall down seven times, get up eight!1. After watching the two famous skaters perform, the writer _____.A. gave up her dreamB. decided to focus on schoolC. decided to relearn figure skatingD. wanted to learn something else2. When the writer got ready to start skating, _____.A. she was too excited to moveB. she found it difficult to put on her skatesC. she thought it might be too late to learnD. she felt both excited and scared3. What do we know from Paragraph 3?A. The coach didn’t think much of the writer.B. The writer couldn’t work hard.C.The writer’s early experience helped her.D. The writer wasn’t scared of pain4. From the story, we know that the writer _____.A. wants to compete in the Olympic GamesB. will stick to figure skatingC. will give up figure skatingD. is 100-percent sure she will succeedDAY THREEHelp scientists make progressIf you think doing scientific research (研究) is only for great scientists like Newton or Einstein, you might be wrong.In fact, if you like to play with insects or take pictures of wild animals, you might be able to help scientists do research yourself!The Shanghai Natural History Museum recently made an app called “Find Nature (听见万物)”. The app’s users can upload (上传) photos, sounds and locations (位置) of frogs, birds and other animals they see around them. These data (数据) can be used by scientists to study biodiversity (⽣物多样性) and better protect animals that live in cities.The concept of having people take part in scientific research, no matter what their background is, is called “citizen science”. The tasks are often easy and fun, but at the same time, you can become a big part of scientific studies.Of course, citizen science is not only about frogs or birds. There are also projects (项⽬) about watching stars and clouds, counting (数) penguins, or listening to laughs (笑声). Citizen science shows us that science can be fun and is for everyone!What citizen scientists have doneDataGalaxy Zoo invites people to help classify (分类) large numbers of galaxies. It has received 50 million classifications from more than 150,000 people!PapersWith the help of Cornell Lab citizen science data, more than 60 scientific papers have been written. The data used to write them has been collected by birdwatchers since 1997.DiscoveriesFoldit is an online puzzle game (智⼒游戏) about protein-folding (蛋⽩质折叠). Its players helped find the structure of an enzyme (酶) from an AIDS-like virus (病毒) in just three weeks.Where can I find my own projects?There are many websites (⽹站) where you can look for cool citizen science projects. They include Zooniverse, SciStarter, iNaturalist, and others. Just type (输⼊) in keywords that you’re interested in and you’ll see many projects. Here are some examples.Whale Song ProjectHave you ever heard whales singing beautiful songs? Do you want to know what they are singing? The Whale Song Project invites you to listen to whale calls and help scientists study how whales communicate with each other.When you visit the site, you’ll see an image (图像) that stands for a whale sound. Click on it and you’ll hear the sound. Under the image, there are several smaller images. Listen to each one and see if any of them matches the first one you heard.Age GuessAge Guess is an online game where you guess the ages of other people by looking at their pictures. You can also post your own photos and have other people guess yourage. In just a few minutes, you can help create (创造) research data for the study of human aging. The project studies the differences between how old you look to others and your real age.Answer the questions:1. How do people help scientists do research through Find Nature?_______________________________________2.What does the term “citizen science” mean?_______________________________________3. What does citizen science show us?_______________________________________4. What does the Whale Song Project study?_______________________________________5. How do people collect data for the project Age Guess?_______________________________________DAY FOURBack when our world was coldThese days, we often talk about global warming. In fact, the Earth was once the opposite (相反的事情) – it was cooling down instead of warming up. Scientists call this period the Ice Age (冰河时代). So far, Earth has gone through five Ice Ages. But how cold was this period? Was everything covered in ice and snow?According to a study by scientists at the University of Arizona, US, the average global temperature (全球温度) during the most recent Ice Age, which was about 20,000 years ago, was 7.8 C. This is about 6 degrees colder than today’s average temperature.You might just take off your T-shirt and put on a sweatshirt (运动衫) if the temperature drops by 6 degrees. However, on a global scale (范围), this is a hugechange.At the time, glaciers (冰川) covered about half of the Americas and Europe as well as many parts of Asia, according to Jessica Tierney, lead scientist of the study. The greatest cooling happened at higher latitudes (纬度). The Arctic (北极), for example, was about 14 degrees colder than today.Tierney said that past temperatures show us what really happens when the Earth cools or warms to a large degree (程度). It can help us know what to expect in the future.How did scientists find the average temperature?Scientists used ocean animal fossils (化⽯) and climate models (⽓候模型). The structures of fats from the fossils show changes in water temperature. Then they put this information into the models to get the global average temperature.1. The average global temperature today is about _____.A. 1.8 ℃B. 6 ℃C. 7.8 ℃D. 13.8 ℃2. When the average global temperature goes down, _____A. the temperature will drop by the same amount everywhereB. we won’t notice much of a change in temperatureC. all land will be covered with glaciersD. higher latitudes will experience greater changes3. Tierney thinks that _____.A. we can learn from past temperature changesB. we are about to go through a new Ice AgeC. we can do nothing to change global weatherD. we don’t have to worry about global warming4. What is the point of the story?A. Earth will cool down again in the future.B. Global warming isn’t a big problem.C. Earth has experienced cold periods before.D. The Ice Age is not over yet.DAY FIVEOnce upon a time, there lived a king named Minos. He ruled the island of Crete. He had a 1 monster called the Minotaur. The Minotaur lived in a maze (迷宫).

牛津译林版八年级英语上册专题练习--阅读表达It was a dark and cold night. The taxi driver didn’t have even one passenger(乘客) all day. When he went by the railway station, he saw a young man coming out with two bags in his hands. So he quickly opened the door of the car and asked, “Where do you want to go, sir?”“To Star Hotel,” the young man answered. When the taxi driver heard this, he didn’t feel happy any more. He knew the young man could give him only three dollars because the hotel was not far from the railway station. But suddenly, he had an idea. He took the passenger through many streets of the big city.After a long time, the car arrived at the hotel at last. “You should pay me fifteen dollars,” the driver said to the young man. “What?

She climbed a mountain.For eight days in May, Minnal hiked nearly 100 kilometres to reach the 5364-metre-high Everest(珠穆朗玛峰) base camp in Nepal. The girl talked about her special trip, “I think this was a meaningful climb for me.” Minnal has to wait for some years to climb the Everest because climbers have to be at least sixteen years to climb the peak.How did it all start? It all began last year when Minnal’s mother decided she might want to climb the famous Himalayas. As a good hiker, she asked both father and daughter if they were up for the challenge(挑战).This year, on 20 May, the family flew to Nepal.Minnal told that most of the eight days were spent hiking ten to fifteen kilometres from 8a.m. to 6 p.m. each day.

Xia Xue is a much better student than her brother, Liu Xing,” says Wang Lin, a student from Wuxi in Jiangsu Province.However, a student’s personality is more important than being a model student.Many students think it is a bad idea to judge(评判) a student only by his or her grades.

Here are a few simple ways to help you feel better when you are feeling sad.1. Stand up straight and this helps your energy flow(流动). When your energy is flowing freely, you can flow too.3. Smile! It’s easy to do and have good results. This way can not only leave you in a good mood but also bring others a good mood.3. Listen to music. It can be your favourite music. Some kinds of music work better than others, so try and find out what kind of music works the best for you.4. Take some “me” time. You can find pleasure in reading a book, watching a sunrise or having a hot bath, or something like that.5. Exercise. Even something as simple as taking a walk will get your blood flowing. It is a great way to clear your mind of anything that makes you sad.These ways will cheer you up when you are down, but don’t just use them when you are sad. Try and practice them every day to make them a habit. You will be surprised to learn that these simple ways will keep your sadness away. But if you are in a deep depression(沮丧), go to hospital.Title : How to beat 56.Opinions(观点)● It is OK to feel down, 57. and unhappy.● It is possible to make sadness a small 58. of life.● Stand up straight so that your 60. can flow freely.Simple 59.to cheer you up● 61. at others because it can bring you and others a goodmood.● Listen to your62. music because it works the best.● 63. pleasure in everyday life, such as watching a sunrise.● 64. a walk and you can clear your mind of sad things.Suggestions (建议)● Try to make these simple ways a habit.● Go to see a 65. when you are in a deep depression.56. sadness 57. tired 58. part 59. ways 60. energy61.

It means I could stay in bed for one more hour.On the first day, all the new students had a meeting. The headmaster told us about the school rules. He also told us that the best way to get respect(尊重) was to study hard and get high grades. This sounded like my school in China.We had to move to different classrooms for different classes. We also had different students in some classes, so it was difficult for me to remember all the faces and names.I found that the homework was not as heavy as what I did in my old school. Yet it was a bit difficult for me at first, because all the homework was in English.

It brings good results not only to the person showing the interest, but also to the person receiving the attention(注意).An Easy Way to Make a Good First Impression(印象)Smile as often as you can. Your smile is a sign of kindness.

Haze can also be called “Smog”. The word "smog" is from the words “smoke” and “fog”, it first appeared in the early20th century, It is a kind of air pollution(污染)caused(导致)mostly by cars and factories. Smog will do great harm(伤害)to your health, especially lungs(肺).It can make you cough and cause skin and eye problems. It seems that we can do nothing to stop it, but only wait until the wind blows all the smog away. However, there are some easy ways to prevent it hurting you. Here are some of them.1. Don’t do exercise in the open.Exercising in the open makes you breathe(呼吸)deeply, and you will take in the particles (颗粒物)deep into your lungs.2. Stay indoors and keep the air clean.If you can, just stay in your room and keep the doors and windows closed. Remember to air your room twice a day, you can open the window at noon or at night for half an hour.3. Wear a mask.Paper and cotton masks can not help you in the haze weather. Some special masks, such as N95 masks, can keep you from breathing in the particles in the air.4. Change your diet.Scientists find that vitamin A, C and E can greatly help protect your eyes, nose and lungs.So eat more green vegetables and fresh fruit everyday. What’s more, do not eat food with too much fat (脂肪),it’s bad for your lungs.The haze weatherWhat is haze?·It’s 56 smog, a kind of smoky and 57 weather.·It is a kind pollution caused by cars and 58 .What is the harm?·It is 59 for our health.·Don’t 61 outside.·Stay indoors as long as possible with the doors and windows 62 .·Remember to open the windows for a while to keep the 63 clean. · 64 a mask to prevent taking in the particles.60 to prevent the haze?·Change your diet.

Many children say that they are just happy. Because sometimes when you want to share your joy with others, you also sing.Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because of happy feelings. However they sing most of the time for a different reason. Their singing is in fact a warning (警告) to other birds to stay away from their territory.Then what is a “territory”? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims asits own. Only he and his family can stay there. For example, people’s garden and house are their territories. If a strange person wants to come to your territory and hurt you, you may shout. This might be enough to make him afraid and go away.If so, people drive the person away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. He screams. But he does it almost any time, especially at nesting(筑巢) seasons. And birds sing louder in spring than in other seasons. This screaming is what we called a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.You can see that birds have a language of their own.Title: Why do bird sing?Children’sideaBirds sing to share their 66 with other birdsSometimes birds sing because they feel 68 .People may 70 to make strangers stay away from theirterritory.Like people, birds warn other birds to stay away byscreaming, without 71 themA bird screams at 72 time.

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.

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.

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.
