牛津译林版八年级上册英语期中复习：任务型阅读练习题精选We all know that everyone has his own dream as well as his own future. But do you know what future really is? I have to say that future is now. That is to say we must treasure (珍惜) every minute now. If we want to have a bright future, we should know how important time is and use it well.There is an old English saying: “Gain time, gain life.”Then what’s time? Time is something that we can’t see or touch, but we can feel it passing by. Time is always with us. When we are at table, time passes; when we play, time goes by unnoticeably. We always say “Time is money”, but time is even more precious (珍贵的) than money, because when money is spent, we can earn it back. But if time is gone, it will never return (回来). So, some of us even say time is priceless.We should always remember: future is now. For us students, we should work hard in order to make our own future better. We should make the best use of every hour and be the master of today. We should do what we can to do everything as well as possible. And never put off what we can do today till tomorrow.As we all know, “Time and tide wait for no man.”If you waste today, you will regret (后悔) tomorrow. So from now on, work hard. Tomorrow will be better, and your future will be brighter. Remember: “No pains, no gains.”Today’s hard work is the cause(原因) of tomorrow’s harvest.Title: Future and 11. ___Today / Present___2. __useful_3. __Time___4. __come___5. __best__DIY means making or creating things on your own, with your own hands. It may take much time, but some people, now known as DIYers —do-it-yourselfers, enjoy doing it very much. They are interested in it because it is fun. And they also say it helps them save money, too. What’s more, they think it is a good way to protect the environment. It is a kind of green life. In fact, DIY is not a modern thing in China. Many people remember when it was once a way of life in the past. During the 1960s and 1970s, when there were not enough living things for people to live on, they had to use their own hands to do many things. If you wanted something, you had to do it yourself, and if you needed something, you made it yourself.Times have changed and DIY also has different meanings.。

This kind of friend knows all of your deepest and darkest secrets, but still loves you all the same.A Friendly NeighborThese days, a lot of people don’t know their own neighbours. It’s a s hame, because some neighbors can be the most helpful people. If you forget to lock the front door when you are on holiday, you can call your neighbors to lock it for you.

If you two get along with each other, you can always start going out with them outside of the office.A Friend from a Different CultureIf everyone has a friend from a different culture, the world would be much better.

You may spend time with a friend and get to see where he lives. So remember to be polite.When to arrive?The first thing to remember is that when a friend invites you over, you need to arrive on time. If your friend tells you to come around 3:00 p.m., that means you can turn up a little bit late after 3:00 p.m. But usually it is a good thing to arrive at the right time.What to bring?Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend’s house. This could be a box of chocolates for you two share, or may be a movie that you can watch together. You can also bring some flowers. A little gift is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his house.How to greet?When you visit your friend’s house, you may also meet his parents.

We were sitting in the classroom. The teacher was giving us our results of a Chinese test. I had done badly. I felt so sad that I wouldn’t talk to anyone. At lunchtime, I even stayed in the classroom alone. Suddenly, I heard a voice. It was Vanilla. “You look very unhappy,” she said. “What’s wrong?” I looked up at her, but said nothing. I knew Vanilla had got a good mark in the test. I thought she was making fun of me. I kept in silent, but Vanilla didn’t go away. She kept asking me questions, “Is it because of the exam? Do you want me to show you the right answers?” I looked away from her. When I looked up again, Vanilla had gone. And so had my exam paper! I looked everywhere for my paper, but couldn’t find it.In the afternoon, Vanilla came up to my desk and gave me my exam paper back. I looked at it and got a big surprise.

牛津译林版八年级英语上册任务型阅读专题练习A game of catch is not difficult at all. Two people throw a ballback and forth( 来回地掷球). It seems a little boring. The twopeople are close enough to talk, but they can’t touch each other.In fact, playing catch is part of baseball practice. It’s a populargame. Because baseball is an American sport and a big part of being American, playing catch is kind of an all-American dad activity. Outside cities, most people have backyards – not large enough to play baseball in, but just big enough for a game of catch. Those without yards can play in streets.But any American kid will tell you it’s much more than a game. Playing catch is a time to be with your father. It’s a time when there’s nothing to worry about except( 除了) catching a ball. When they play it, words move together with the ball itself, back and forth, easy and relaxing(放松). Kids and dads spend time together.The game can be good memories(记忆) of dads. Why? Dads are usually very busy. This is a time when a kid has all of his or her dad’s attention(注意力). There is no work, no phone and no other people around to take your dad away from you. For the time that it takes to play a game of catch, your dad is all yours.The Game of61What’s the game It’s part of baseball62.A 63 game•Two people throw a ball back and forth.•They can talk but can’t64each other when playing it.A 65 game•Catch is an all-American activity because 66is part of beingAmerican.•People play the game in yards or67.•Players needn’t worry about 68 except catching a ball,69and theball move together when they play it.A Dad-kid game•Kids and dads spend time together.•A kid can have the 70of his or her Dad when they play the game.61.

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. We had many subjects: English, History, Science, Art and so on, but we can stop studying some subjects if we have no interest in them. Then they can choose some other subjects.I missed Chinese food a lot at lunch. British food is very different. British people like eating desserts(甜点) which usually come after their main meal.

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.

It reminds people not to wastefood and fight hunger.A number of people in the world still don’t have enough food to eat. The food shortage(短缺) is a big problem all over the world. Now, there are more than 1000 million hungry people in the world according to the UN. Many children go to sleep hungry, and 15 million of them die of hunger each year.There are several reasons for food shortage. First, there are more natural disasters. Also, a growing population(人口) makes feeding everyone more difficult.Another big reason is food waste. Most people don’t realize how much food they throw away every day. The average(平均的) person throws away 50kg of food every year. According to the UN, more than one third of all food goes to waste each year.Over 1,300 billion kilograms of food is wasted each year. The food wasted in Europe can feed 200 million people, while in Latin America 300 million a year.So think twice before you throw away food. You’d better order as much food as you can eat at a restaurant. If you can’t eat all, take the rest home. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much. Don’t cook too much.When you throw away food, you are not just wasting the food itself. Resources(资源), such as energy, time and water, are also wasted while growing and cooking. So everyone should know that it is important to save food. Saving food is saving ourselves.Title: Introduction to World Food DayThe UN’s purpose(目的) to start this dayTo remind people not to 56 food and fight hunger.Facts of food shortage ◆57 1,000 million people are hungry each year.◆15 million children 58 their lives because of hunger each year.◆There are more 60 disasters now.◆The number of people is becoming 61 .59 for foodshortage◆The problem of food waste is serious all over the world.62 to stop food waste ◆63 order more than you can eat at a restaurant.◆Take the rest of food home if you can’t eat all you’ve ordered.◆Be sure not to 64 more food at home than you need.Conclusion Everyone should know the 65 of saving food.56. waste 57.

How do we make the school safer and keep us away from danger?Here are some tips for us to be safe in an easy way.For example,we must remember some important rules in the playground. Before we do sports,we need to do some warm up activities(热身运功),and after that we should drink some water.And in the classroom,we need to learn how to behave well.Don’t run in the hallways.We mustn’t fight with or run after each other.And teachers need to keep an eye on the students after class and stop them from running.We students should remember not to be naughty and get into trouble.What’s more,we can have some practice to learn to protect ourselves from a fire.In this way,we can know where to go if there is a fire in our school.We should learn to use the fire extinguisher（灭火器）,too.I don’t think we should put our a fire by ourselves,because it is too dangerous for young students.Well,I think all of us should think more of our safety in school.How to keep___1_____in the schoolIn the playground Do some warm up activities__2___doing sports Drink some water___3_____doing sportsIn the__4____Don’t run in the hallways.Teachers need to__5___their students carefully.

The centre of a hurricane is called the eye.While most of a hurricane has dangerously strong winds,the eye is actually(事实上)a calm area in the storm.When the eye of a hurricane passes over land,people might think that it’s over,but before long the wind and rain increase again as the second part of the hurricane moves through.Hurricane Safety TipsThere is no way to stop a hurricane or make it change direction,so if you ever find yourselfin the path of a hurricane,be sure to remember the following safety tips.·Be sure you have a radio,batteries,fresh drinking water,and enough food.·Tell neighbours,friends,and family members your emergency plans.Tell them where you’ll go if you need to leave your home.·If you live near the ocean,leave your home and travel to a safe place.You could stay with a friend or a family member,in a hotel/motel,or in an emergency shelter area.·Stay inside during the storm.You could be seriously injured(受伤)if you go outside.HurricanesCharacteristics Hurricane Season usually1about6months in the Atlantic Ocean and6.5 months in the Pacific Ocean.Devastating waves,wind,and rain are usually the2of hurricanes.Categories Hurricanes have been3into five categories by scientists,based on wind speeds.A Category5hurricane can destroy all the4along the shorelines.5When a hurricane comes together with heavy rainfall,a terrible6may happen.The eye is the7of a hurricane.Soon after it passes,the wind and rain increase again.Safety Tips It’s8to stop a hurricane or change its direction.Don’t9the safety tips if you find yourself in the path of a hurricane.Stay inside during the storm,10you could be seriously injured.1. 2. 3. 4. 5.6.7.8.9.10.Everyone needs friends.We all like to feel close to someone.It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with.Certainly,we need to be alone sometimes.We don’t always want people around.But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.Sometimes friends don’t make each other happy.That doesn’t mean that they don’t like each other any more.Most of the time,they will make up and go on being friends.Sometimes friends move away.Then we feel very sad.If we miss them very much,we can call them or write to them.Maybe,we can never see them again.However,we can make new friends.It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them, There is more good news for people who have friends.They live longer than people who don’t.Why?It could be that they are much happier.Being happy helps you to stay well.We will feel happy1a friend.When friends make each other2,you will make up or go on being friends.

牛津译林版八年级英语上册专题练习--任务型阅读理解Creating a study planStudying is important to students. But it is always difficult to find enough time to study every subject you need. So a good plan helps you to make sure of your success in study.Then, how to make a study plan? Well, you can begin with listing all the subjects you need to study and make sure what you need to do for each subject. Next,you should decide how much time you should spend on differentsubjects. Now, it is a good idea to study at the same time every day.In this way, you actually have a plan you can remember easily.While arranging ( 安排) time for each subject, you also need tomake sure that you still have time for family, friends and rest. Thisis because you won't be able to succeed in your studies unless you balance Your personal life and your study.Once the plan is made, the next thing you need to do is to follow it. One of the biggest challenges in following your study plan is that you will be tempted ( 诱惑) to avoid it and do something relaxing, or fun instead. Luckily, you can fight this temptation by taking breaks. But be sure not to take extra breaks or too long breaks as it can affect your plan. So at the start of your break，set an alarm clock to remind you when your break is over. Also, you need to use your break wisely. For example, go for a short walk, eat a small snack, or listen to some music.To avoid forgetting to follow your plan, try to get into the habit of looking at your calendar every day. Sometimes our plans are herd to follow because some important people in our lives distract ( 使分心) us from our goals. In order to avoid this, tell people in your life about your plan. Put up a copy of your study guide at home so you and your family can see it, and email a copy to your friends so they know when you have spare time.Creating a study planThe(76) _________ of a study plan.

Just when you think you nearly reach it, something unexpected happens. This may puzzle you a lot.Here are some tips for helping you find happiness.Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. If you depend on one thing or one person to make you happy, it may be impossible. You need to enlarge your circle of friends and activities.Follow your heart. When we go against our own thoughts, we usually feel sad. Follow your strong feeling and let it guide you through your life. Day by day, you will be happier than before.Organize your ideas. Many people push away happiness when they think too much. Don't keep everything in head. Try to make a list of the things that you find difficult to do. You may find the list isn’t as long as you thought. You can do most of the things on your own.Look at your life as a whole. Most of the things that prevent us from feeling happy are just some little things.Remember that life will always continue, and everything will be fine in the end.Happiness can be hard to feel at times, but don’t feel worried.

Cherie Blair, wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, said that she would prepare a packed lunch for her son if school dinners do not improve. So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school?JapanHigh schools have canteens, which serve everything from noodles to rice, but not burgers and chips. Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls, meat or fish, pickles(泡菜) and vegetables.Students take home a menu for the coming month containing notes on nutrition value.Twice a year parents are invited to have a taste of the food. The class with the fewest leftovers(剩饭) at the end of the month receives a prize.United StatesA typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken, lettuce and pickles, fruit and cookies. School lunches must also provide at least one-third of the daily dietary allowances(定量) of protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium and calories.AustraliaMeat pies, sausage rolls and hot dogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops. But as the nation pays more attention to children’s health, healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus.Many schools have used a traffic light system. The sale of red-labeled foods, including pastries, chocolate and soft drinks, is served only twice a week. Healthier green-labeled foods such as sushi, sandwiches, corn and watermelon, however, are available every day.In some schools, students have a choice of up to 89 foods to choose from, including popcorn and rice.South AfricaMost of South Africa's schools do not serve meals at all. Classes end at 1:30 pm and students get their own lunches. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches.Fast food and fried food sell the best among students, which has led to a rise in obesity among children. But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different diseases, some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition(营养). Now students at these schools are provided with lunches of porridge with vegetables, such as cabbages, onions, beans, carrots and tomatoes.Schools serve different foods in different (71) _____.Japan In high schools, children can buy everything, such as noodles and rice.

If you answered much happier, then you were right, according to a study in 2008. It found that people always become happier and experience less worry after age fifty. In fact, it found that by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were at eighteen.The findings came from a Gallup survey of more than three hundred forty thousand adults in the United States in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.Arthur Stone, a professor at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five had more life problems. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.Happiness was the highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns (情感状态) as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, losing jobs or being single.But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness connected to the age.So why would happiness grow with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions (感情). They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.Happiness is not the only thing that obviously improves with the age. In a study, people intheir eighties reported the fewest problems with their sleep.Scientists wanted to make people know that aging is connected with more sleep problems. For people, sleep is very important. The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women. But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older.The 81 of a study in 200881. findings 82. something 83. eighteen 84. ages 85. highest86.

牛津英语译林版八年级上册期末复习专项练习–任务型阅读B 卷AHaving nice friendships is one of the happiest things in life, but sometimes you might find yourself without any close friends. Here is some advice that might help you get through the hard times.Loneliness (孤独) is something that everyone can feel. Feeling lonely doesn’t mean you’re a strange person. Having fun by yourself is totally possible. You can spend time doing activities you enjoy. That can be a good way to pass the time and help you get to know yourself better. Putting your energy into your dream is also a good way. For example, if you always dream of travelling to somewhere, make a plan for it.To be positive (乐观的) is important. If you find yourself thinking "no one likes me", then remember you’re alwa ys the best to your parents. Having healthy living habits can also help. Spend at least three times a week doing exercise or something that makes your body fee comfortable. And try giving a big smile to the people you pass by on the street. Maybe you’ll ge t a few back.The last one is to make new friends. Going to the parties or activities that you are interested in. Although you might be shy, just believe in yourself and talk with people. You can also find friends on the Internet who share your thoughts and like the same things as you. They may not as close as those in real life, but it’s still a good way to feel connected (有联系的) . Just beBIt happens every spring. We can find flowers here and there over night. Do they call each other? Of course not, but how do plants "know" when to flower?It's a question for the biologist for years. But a new study may have found the answer— the secret lies in a protein (蛋白质) called FKF1. This allows plants to sense the differences in day lengths (时长) so that they can tell the seasons are changing.Biologists found FKF1 protein when they were studying a plant called Arabidopsis. They found that the FKF1 protein can be activated (激活) by sunlight.Plants make the protein every day in the late afternoon all year round. If there is no light at this time, for example, in winter when the sun goes down early. the protein won't be active. But when spring comes and days get longer, the FKF1 protein can be activated by sunlight and the plant knows it's time to flower. The daylight-sensing system also keeps plants from flowering when conditions (条件) are poor for growing, such as during autumn or winter when the weather is cold and days are short.Biologists only studied how the FKF1 protein works in the Arabidopsis, but they believe that the process is same in many other plants, like rice and wheat. These could be useful to the farmers. If we can control (控制) the timing of flowering, we will have more crops in the field or more flowers in the garden. Also, we will have more biofuel (生物燃料) plants. This would beCYou might not be willing to see this: large numbers of whales (鲸) lie nearly dead on a beach. However, it is true and it happens in more than one part of the world. Scientists try to find out why.One reason may be the poor health of whales. They could get hurt by some animals or become sick and are too weak to swim. But according to scientists, this reason would be mainly fit for the stranding (搁浅) of one whale, not larger groups. Another reason may be that they lose their way at sea. When whales travel outside of their usual living places, they may feel afraid and don’t know where to go. In the end, they happen to swim to the beach and could never go back.All these might be fit for the stranding of one whale or a small group, but what leads large groups to do so?As scientists have discussed it might have something to do with the member. One theory (理论) is that when the leader gets sick or lost and goes to the wrong place, the group follows it As a result, plenty of whales strand. Or maybe the leader comes to close to the beach while following a school offish or while running away from some terrible animals. However, withDCamping in the backyard is full of fun. It makes us relaxed ( (放松) . It offers chances (机会) to enjoy the night sky and we needn't be as quiet as usual. It brings us close to the outside world. It also allows us to have many friends to stay with us. Follow these tips and you'll have a night you'll never forget!Put up your tent.How many family members and friends will join? It decides how many tents you need. Tell your friends to bring their tents if needed. Remember to learn about how to put up a tent on the Internet.Prepare your bedding.Put something soft to lie on the ground. An air mattress (充气床垫) may work well. Fill the tent with soft toys and blankets. Have sleeping bags and cotton blankets. They are important if it gets cold at night.Prepare a seating area.A picnic table is the best. Or you can set up a few chairs and a small table to put drinks and food on. You can lay out (铺开) a blanket in the sun. Be sure the grass isn't wet!Make memories (记忆) .Plan some activities. You're camping in the backyard, so it's time to make the most of being outdoors. Have a camera toEBirds migrate (迁徙) for several reasons. Many birds cannot live in the cold, so they fly to warmer places in the south. But there are other reasons, too. Birds need to search for food. In winter, many plants die and insects hibernate (冬眠) .When it gets colder, birds know it's time to fly to warmer places with more food. Reproduction (繁殖) is another reason. Many birds like to reproduce in the same "house" they used the year before, so they fly back there.There are around 9,000 kinds of birds in the world, and 600 types are migratory birds. Most migratory birds in China follow three routes (路线) . The first one is the western route, across the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (青藏高原) to Sichuan. The second route is from the Taihang Mountain to Sichuan and other southern parts of China. Other birds fly along the coast to eastern and southern China. Birds can fly very long distances when migrating. The longest distance a bird has flown is 22,000 miles (35,400km).How can they make the journey? Before migration, birds start to get fatter. Fat gives them energy during the trip. They have to stop during their journeys because they need to rest and make up or (弥补) the energy lost in flight.The number of migratory birds now is smaller than ever before. There are many reasons, and one of them is collisions (碰FIt was in one of Australia’s worst fire seasons. s Bush fires in Australia lasted from September 2019 to March 2020. They killed (致死) at least 29 people and destroyed (摧毁) about 2, 500 homes. Around 1. 25 billion animals died in the fires.Like millions of others around the world,18-year-old Rachel Ratelle from the US saw news of the fires. She felt sad as she watched a koala trying to climb a tree to safety. But unlike many people, she decided to do something about it.She searched for organizations in Australia to find out what they needed most. Many groups were asking for hand-sewn (手工缝制的) pouches (育儿袋) for animals like koalas and kangaroos. The fires burnt their homes and killed their parents. Ratelle wanted to make these things, but there was just one problem."I knew nothing about it," Ratelle said. "Giving money seemed like something too easy. I wanted to help these animals by doing something myself, so I decided to learn how to sew. "Over the next month, Ratelle bought her own sewing machine and taught herself how to sew by watching online videos. She sewed 25 pouches of different sizes on her own and sent them to organizations in Australia.A week later, she received a photo from an organization. In the photo a baby kangaroo is in one of her pouches. She said it was a great feeling."It made me feel like I contributed (作出贡献) to the world, and it showed how kindness can go a long way," Ratelle said.GLast autumn, a senior high school student caught people's eyes at the second World Laureates Forum (世界顶尖科学家论坛) in Shanghai. She is Tan Fanglin (谭方琳) , a senior high school student from Shanghai.The forum was from October 29 to November 1. It brought nearly 70 world's top scientists together to talk about important issues (议题) about science. Besides the world's top scientists, the forum also invited many young scientists. Tan Fanglin was among them, and as a 15-year-old girl, she was the youngest member in the meeting. Her study has improved people's understanding of the Fibonacci sequence and Bezout numbers (斐波那契数列与贝祖数) . She won many prizes (奖) in youth innovation competitions in Shanghai and other places in China.At a very young age, Tan became interested in Maths. This is largely because of her father, who is a maths teacher in East China Normal University. According to Tan's head teacher, she never takes after-school classes or too many exercises. Her great work comes from her strong interest in maths and the right study ways.Tan felt excited when talking about her success (成功) . Tan said, "Taking part in the WLA Forum and exchanging information with great scientists face to face have further encouraged me to go on doing scientific study and I dream of greatHWhen you are talking to a friend, you sometimes try to change his or her mind (想法) . But it is very possible that you find it hard. Here are some tips you can try.First of all, please don't change your talk into a quarrel (吵架) at any time. It is better to show the ideas and facts. By showing facts, you show that you are right.Secondly, don't say "You're wrong". If you think someone is wrong, a better way to point it out is to use "may/might be wrong", not "you are wrong". This opens up the door for both of you to talk about your ideas. It shows that you're open to new ideas.Thirdly, get the other person to say yes. You may begin talking about the hobbies he or she has. A small talk like this willmake it easier for your friend to accept (接受) you and then they will be more open to your ideas. It makes you two trust each other.And don't forget to let the other person talk enough. By listening to them talk patiently, you show that you really care about what they think.This will earn respect (赢得尊重) and trust. So when it's your turn to talk, they'll listen.In a word, you should respect others all the time when you don't agree with each other. And, don't feel down if your friend isn't willing to change. A gentleman gets along with others, but doesn't necessarily (必要地) agree with them, right?A1. friends2. yourself3. feel4. spend5. Prepare6. best7. helpful8. Smile9.

Many teenagers think that happiness comes from a good exam result or praise(赞扬)from other people. But you can still be happy when there are no such "good" things.Success comes from a good attitude(态度).If you learn from problems, you will have success in the future.Some school students have problems, such as being too tall or too short. But Matthews tells us that happiness comes from thinking in a positive(积极的)way. If you are tall, people notice you and you can get a better view(视线)at the movie; if you are short, your clothes and shoes take less room in your bedroom!This is Matthews' most important lesson; You choose to be happy!1.

She searched all around her town aid even wrote letters to some newspapers for help. But she was never able to find him. At the end of the three months, her search stopped.But someone recently discovered a dirty, thin stray(流浪的;走失的)cat in the street and took him into West Flamingo Animal Hospital. The people working in the hospital checked the cat and were sure enough that his name was Spas and he belonged to Linda Edwards! "An old lady found the cat on Sunday and brought him here. We scanned(扫描)his microchip(微芯片)and we could find out his owner. The cat, whose name is Spas, has been missing for 12 years! " said a doctor. It is a way to recognize pets by scanning their microchips if the stray animals belong to anyone who muld be missing them It also allows animal services to know if the animals have a family waiting for them Linda was very thankful that she had Spas taken the microchip and was so excited to get him back!"I have a second chance to play with my cat, " she said.

They happen during "Hurricane Season", which is from June 1st until November 30th in the Atlantic Ocean and from May 15th until November 30th in the Pacific Ocean.Categories(类别)of Hurricanes: There are five categories of hurricanes, which are based on wind speeds. The categories help people know how much damage(危害)a hurricane may cause because the greater the wind speed, the more dangerous the storm is. For example, a Category 5 hurricane has winds over 155 miles per hour, which are strong enough to destroy the buildings along the shorelines completely.Hurricane Dangers: When a hurricane happens together with heavy rainfall, there can be a devastating flood. The centre of a hurricane is called the eye. While most of a hurricane has dangerously strong winds, the eye is actually(事实上) a calm area in the storm. When the eye of a hurricane passes over land, people might think that it's over, but before long the wind and rain increase again as the second part of the hurricane moves through.Hurricane Safety Tips: There is no way to stop a hurricane or make it change direction, so if you ever find yourself in the path of a hurricane, be sure to remember the following safety tips.●Be sure you have a radio, batteries, fresh drinking water, and enough food.●Tell neighbours, friends, and family members your emergency plans. Tell them where you'll go if you need to leave your home.●If you live near the ocean, leave your home and travel to a safe place. You could stay with a friend or a family member, in a hotel or in an emergency shelter area.●Stay inside during the storm. You could be seriously injured(受伤)if you go outside.1. When is Hurricane Season in the Atlantic Ocean?2. What are categories of hurricanes based on?3. What is called the eye?4. How many hurricane safety tips are mentioned(提到)in the passage?5. What should you do most probably if a hurricane happens?(自拟一句话)JEveryone needs friends. A friend can give us help and share our difficulties and happiness. But how can we make friendsFirst, to make friends, you must be friendly to others. Smile at others and you are sure to get a smile in return. You should try to make a stranger feel at home wherever he happens to be. Think more of others than of yourself and never judge a person by his appearance and clothes.Second, friends should negotiate(商量)instead of quarrel(争吵)，When you don't agree with someone, please discuss with him.Finally, never believe in those who leave you when you are in trouble. And never leave your friend when he is in trouble. Remember, a friend in need is a friend indeed.Friends should be faithful to each other. So long as you can put your friend's interests in front of yours, you will have a lot of good friends.1. Why do we need friends?2. If we smile at others, what will happen?3. Put the underlined part into Chinese.4. What kind of people shouldn't we believe?5. If you can't agree with your friend, what can you do then?KLooking after my school flour（面粉）babyMany girls like to have dolls in their childhood．If you visit our school，you will see lots of students carrying flour babies．We also have such classes to learn about what it's like to be a parent．The 10﹣pound （4.5kilograms）flour bags were used as babies．We decide the gender （性别）by throwing a coin．We parents must keep the babies' faces exposed （暴露）for their breath and have to keep a close eye on them so that we don't lose them．Mr．Craton，our history teacher like taking away"babies"when we parents lose attention．He takes 22 babies away from parents in four days．We need to write a baby diary．To support the baby，we also need to find a job to feed the baby．Do you know the total cost of raising a baby for the first year？It is about 5，000．I really love this special class．It helps students to understand how much their parents spend on them when they were little．阅读以上信息，用恰当的词完成下面的表格，每空一词．LMental health is about the way youMental health is about the way you think and feel and your ability to deal with ups and downs．Even though you are mentally healthy，it doesn't mean that you don't have a menta1health problem．Mental health is everyone's business．We all have times when we feel down or stressed．Most of the time those feelings pass，but sometimes they develop into a more serious problem．It seems that our mental health doesn't always stay the same．It can change as the environment changes and as you move through different stages （阶段）of your life．Here are four practical ways to look after your mental health．Making simple changes to how you live doesn't cost much or take up lots of time．Anyone can follow them．●Talk about your feelings．It can help you stay in good mental health．It isn't a sign of weakness，but part of your ability to do what you can to stay healthy．●Eat well．What you eat and how you feel are closely connected．A proper diet can have a good effect on your mental health．●Keep in touch．Friends and family members can offer various suggestions which may help you do everything actively and solve practical problems．●Take a break．It could be a weekend exploring new places to enjoy the nature，or even a ten ﹣minute break from doing your homework．A few minutes can be enough to relax you．阅读以上信息，用恰当的词完成下面的短文，每空一词．Mental health is about （56）how you think and feel and your ability to deal with ups and downs．Even though you are mentally healthy，it is （57）possible that you have a menta1health problem．We all have times when we feel down or stressed．Most of the time those feelings pass，but sometimes they develop into a more serious problem．Making simple changes to your （58）lifestyle doesn't cost much or take up lots of time．First，talk about your feelings．Second，a proper diet can have a good effect on your mental health．Third，various suggestions may be （59）offered by your friends and family members．It helps you keep（60）active and solve practical problems．Finally，take a break at weekends．参考答案一、A. 1.

牛津译林版八年级英语上册分类练习：任务型阅读Good morning, boys and girl. Today I’ll give a talk about going online.We know that there are too many net bars around us. The Internet can make our lives interesting and enjoyable（令人愉快的）. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer. We can learn English and read some newspapers and magazines to know more around us. It can make us clever in playing computer games. Also when we can send e-mails to our friends，they can get them at once. It can help us communicate(交流)with people from all over the world.But some students spend too much time playing computer games and some stay in the net bars all day and all night. Some girls even get to have boyfriends or some boys get to have girlfriends online. They write too many letters to each other. It takes them too much time to chat online so they do worse in their lessons and they don’t study well any more. I think we mustn’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. I think we should get online with our teachers or parents.At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some activities after school. We usually have activities from 4:50 to 5:50 in the afternoon . You can play basket ball or football. We also have some interest groups in school, such as drawing, singing and dancing. We can go to the English corner on Monday afternoon. We hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet.Title: A ____76_____ about going onlineAdvantages (优点) ● Make our lives interesting and make us____77____ our lives.● Learn how to use the computer and can get more information.● Send e-mails to our friends _____78_______.● Help us get in touch with people from______79_______ the world.Disadvantages （缺点）● It _____80______ them too much time to play computer games.● Some students write too____81_____ letters to each other and spend too much time _____82_____ online so they do worse in their lessons.Tips_____83____ it in summer or winter holidays; do some ____84_____activities and have some ____85_____ groups in school.76.talk 77. love/enjoy/love 78. quickly 79. around/across 80.takes81.many 82. chatting 83.Do 84. after-school 85. interest“Who would you like to change your life with if possible?” Last week, we asked many middle school students this question. The following are some of their answers.Zhang Yike, 12I want to change my life with my friend, Wang Xiaohui. She is studying in England now. She went to many countries several years ago, such as the USA and France. They are the places I wish to visit. What’s more, she speaks much better English than me. If I change my life with her, I can visit many beautiful countries, eat delicious food and meet different kinds of people there.Qiu Haoran, 14I’d like to change my life with my Chinese teacher Miss Zhao. Miss Zhao is a very kind lady. She knows a lot, so she always has so many interesting stories to tell us. We all like her classes. I also want to be such an excellent teacher and be popular with my students.Tan Bo, 13I will change my life with my brother. He is two years older than I. My brother is a college （大学）student now. He doesn’t have to go to class all the time. He can study what he is interested in. And he even has a part-time job to make money. To him, all of these sound very interesting.

How you feel is controlled by many things. Your emotions can be affected by your personality, the actions of others and the events around you. Perhaps you don’t know your emotions can be influenced by the weather as well.People often say they feel good when the sun is shining and sad when it is cloudy. In fact, sunlight makes us feel good. When sunlight hits our skins, our bodies produce a vitamin. Vitamins are chemical substances ( 化学物质) which we all need to stay healthy.Sunlight helps our bodies produce vitamin D. Vitamin D helps our bodies make a special chemical substance. This special chemical substance affects our brains(大脑) and makes us feel happy. Forexample, there are long, dark winters of little sunlight in Sweden and Norway, so many people in these countries often feel sad. Without much sunlight, their bodies produce less vitamin D. Without enough vitamin D, their bodies make less of this special chemical substance which makes them feel good. To help the people in these countries feel better, special “ sunrooms” with artificial( 人造的) ligh ts have been built. People can go there and get ‘sunlight’ for an hour or two!76. weather 77.

牛津英语译林版八年级上册期末复习专项练习-任务型阅读A卷AWe throw away many things every day, though some of them can get a new life after a simple repair. The trouble is, lots of people have forgotten that tliey can repair things themselves or they no longer know how. It's a skill quickly lost.Repair Cafds change all that! They are free meeting places about repairing things together. In the cafe, there are tools and materials to help visitors repair anything, on clothes, furniturc. bikes, toys and so on. Volunteers are there to give them a hand. If they have notliing to repair, tliey can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee. Or tliey can help with someone else's repair job. They can also get ideas at the reading table by reading books on repairs and DIY.Matt Brewer is the director (负责人)of a Repair CafO. Also, he is a teacher at a high school. In his eyes, being a teacher not only means teaching students to get high scores in exams, but also means passing some important life skills on to them. Some of his students study many different skills and try to make broken things work again by themselves in his Repair Cafe. Zander and Chase are two of them.Recently. Zander and Chase helped an old lady repair a telephone・ The phone was so old that the two had never known it. but that didn't stop the repair team. Brewer taught them to use the tools and then fixed the telephone. When the old lady told them the phone was nice to use, they were both happy. "It's fiin to leani how to repair tilings,H Zander said.BStephen and Ashlie are visiting the seaside town of Blackpool and having a go on some of the rides (过山车)at the Pleasure Beach theme park.Stephen: This may look like Paris, but wc'rc in Blackpool, in the north of England—about an hour's drive from Manchester. And as you can see, it's a seaside town and became famous more than a hundred years ago. People always like coming here for their holidays. They like the rides in the park, too. In fact, I often came here when I was a kid.Ashlie: Yes, thafs right. I know the place we 11. too. I liked to come to Blackpool to enjoy the beach and the sunshine・ I always had great fun.Stephen: So did I. And I love the theme park and all the rides・ Come on Ashlie, this is going to be great!(They are in front of a ride.)Stephen: Come on Ashlie, shall we have a go?Ashlie: No way!Stephen: Oh Ashlie, don't be such a chicken.Ashlie: No way. You can have a go on that if you want, but there is no way Fm going on it.Stephen: I'll wave to you when I go past. See you later!(Stephen meets Ashlie after he takes the ride・)Ashlie: Are you OK? You look a little white. Stephen.Stephen: What? I've never felt better. That was amazing, Ashlie・ You should have come on it, too. Shame you were too afraid. What a pity (遗憾)！Ashlie: You weren't afraid?Stephen: Of course not. I loved it.CApril 26 is a special day for friends. It is "Hug (拥抱)a Friend Day〞. Can you guess how people celebrate it? Thafs right. Friends hug one another, in a warm and friendly way!Why do we need this day? Giving a hug can show our love, support or even just mean 〞hello〞 or "goodbye〞・ Il can make a person feel happier and warmer, or even bring him better health by taking stress (压力)away. And a hug doesn't cost anything. So why not hug your friends?However, it can also get you in trouble・ Ryan Blackmon. a middle school student in North Carolina・ US, was fighting with another student, and a teacher pulled them apart (拉开)・When she finished. Ryan said H thank you〞 and gave her a hug. This did not make the teacher feel happy. Instead. she angrily took Ryan's arm and took him to an office・ Then school officials said Ryan must say sorry to the teache匚Why did she get so angry over a hug? First of all, Ryan is a boy and his teacher is a woman. In that situation (状况)，she mightthink Ryan's hug showed the wrong kind of love・ Also, a student hugging a teacher shows that they are friends, on an equal (平等的)level. That might have hurt her feeling of authority (权威).So be careful who you hug, and how you hug them! The best way is just to ask first, or to say, ''Give me a hug!〞 From the person's reaction, yoifll decide to hug or not to hug.Japan is no stranger to natural disasters・ To make sure people are ready for them. cities across Japan have built over 60 disaster education (教冇)centres・ The Tokyo Earthquake Museum is just one of them. The museum is on the fourth floor of a fire station inIkcbukuro, Tokyo. It is open every day except Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays・ It has a small theatre showing the history of Japanese earthquakes, a smoke room and an earthquake simulator (模拟器)・It is the earthquake simulator, however, that interests people the most. It is a platform (平台)with a dining table and some chairs on it. Six people at a time are invited to take a turn. Anyone 3 years old and above can ride the simulator. It's free to experience (体验)two minutes of terrifying shaking・Before you ride the simulator, you need to watch a slide show on what should be done when an earthquake hits・ Once it*s your turn to ride the simulator, you can use what you've learnt from the slide show. The simulator gives you the real feel of an earthquake・The simulator is not H fun*\ but it is a useful experience・ If you're in Tokyo, you should go to the centre and try it out for yourself. You'd better call ahead to make sure the simulator will be available (可以使用的),because they have a lot of scheduled (有汁划fl勺)toursEA century ago, there were about 200. 000 orangutans (红毛猩猩)living in Indonesia, but now the number has been cut in half. They are in danger. Why?People are cutting down the forests where they live, so it's getting hard for tliein to find food. Farmers kill many orangutans to stop them from taking food from farms・ Now many baby orangutans do not have moms to teach them what they need to know. That's why an animal organization (组织)called Four Paws built schools for orangutans. The schools take care of baby orangutans until they can take care of themselves in the wild.Orangutans go to different schools according to their ages and ability. Usually the youngest babies go to the Nursery (冇儿所).People feed them and take care of them all day long. They must wear masks so tliey don't make die orangutans sick. When the orangutans turn 2, they go to Baby School. They spend a little time in the forest. They learn how to climb trees, look for food and make nests・ When they turn 4 years old, they go to Forest School. They stay in the forest overnight. Now they can do more on their own. without help from people.After a few years, the orangutans have learned everything they need to know. People take the orangutans into the forest and let them go.The orangutans will live and grow in the forest. Maybe one day they will have babies・ They can teach them everything they learned atFEric and Chen first met in their Maths class at an American school. Chen was a student from China・ He wanted to learn about American culture (文(匕)and make good friends with Eire・At first, Eric seemed friendly. He always said hello to Chen warmly before class. Sometimes he studied and played with Chen. He even asked Chen to eat lunch with him・ But after the term was over and they were in different classes, Eric seemed more distant (疏远白勺)• They didn't see each otlier very much at school. One day Clieii called Eric, but Eric didn't seem very interested in talking to him. Cheii was surprised by Erics chaiige/Enc said we were friends/* Chen said. "I thought & lends were friends all the time.、、As a foreigner, he doesn't know what Americans think of friendship (友谊)・Americans don't use the word 'friend5' in the same way as we Chinese. Their &iendslup is built on common (共同的) interests・When the shared activity ends, the friendship may die (i肖亡)・Now as Eric and Chen are no longer classmates, their "frieiidslup,> has changed. Iii Chinese culture, friendship means a life-long thing between two people—friendship grows slowly, because it is built to last. American society changes quickly. Twenty percent of American families move (搬迁)every year. Their friendship grows quickly, and it may change just as quickly.Learning what Americans think of friendship can help us remove misunderstandings (，肖I徐误角*)・Il can help us make friends inGAs the world's second largest country in area, I you may meet with different weather in different cities in Canada in the same season. This shows the diversity in climates (气候多样性)in the country. To get good information of the country, let's see what four seasons in Vancouver (温哥华)are like.Vancouver is a western city in Canada .It is one of the warmest cities in the country; And it is also wetter than most other cities in Canada・ Spring in Vancouver comes early. In February, you may see tulips (郁金香and temperatures on average (平上匀)stay above 0°C・ It's wet with much rain here・ So an umbrella is necessary.Summer in Vancouver, , like the other seasons, has mild (温*IT) weather. Daytime temperatures run around to 20°C. Sometimes, it's necessary to bring a sweater for cooler nights.Autumn sees the city's rain slow down. Temperatures stay mild, staying from 4 to 10C. September to November is a great time to pay a visit as weather is comfortable and the prices of plane tickets and hotels drop・Winter is cold (not as cold as many other cities) and wet from December to February. January is the coldest month whileDecember and February are only a little warmer. Twice a year, the temperatures will be below・10°C. Snow, on average, falls about eleven days・ Snowfall is very low for Canada which is known for its long, white winters・ Rain is more likely to be seen than snow. This is also the wettest season in Vancouver.Hummingbirds (蜂are one of the smallest birds in the world・ They are found only in America・They are called hununingbirds because they make a humming noise when they fly. They make this noise because they beat their wings so fast. Hummingbirds are well known for their ability to move their wings fast. They can move their wings up to 70 times in a second.Most of them are 7.5-13 cm long. The Bee Hummingbird is the smallest at just 5 cm. The largest is the Giant Hummingbird reaching over 20 cm. Most hummingbirds weigh less than 4 grams・ They eat mostly nectar (花蜜)，and they also eat insects・ They need to eat at least half their body weight of food each day.No other bird on Earth can fly like a hummingbird. They can move their wings in a circle (I园圈)，so they can fly forwards, backwards, up, down, sideways and hover (盘旋)in mid ai匚This type of flying can be quite an exercise・ Thafs why hummingbirds eat a lot of food each day.Hummingbirds have no sense of smell but have very good eyesight. They can see and hear better than humans・ They find their food through bright colours. They like red flowers・ They are often seen flying near small flowers because they can't reach deep in largerA1 ・ repairing 5.

But I’ve thought a lot about the life that you have ahead of you, and I write it down to help you along your path by sharing some of the best of what I’ve learned.Life can be unkindThere will be people in your life who won't be very nice. They’ll laugh at you or try to hurt you because you’re different. There’s not much you can do about these people except to learn to deal with them, and learn to choose friends who are kind to you and who make you feel good about yourself. When you find friends like this, treasure them, spend time with them and love them.Life isn’t a competitionThere are many people better than you, in school, in college, at work. To them, life is a competition. But here’s the secret: life isn’t a competition. It's a journey.

It might sound out of date, I know, but trust me, there’s no better rule in life. Love not only your loved ones, but your neighbors, your co-workers, strangers, even your enemy. The person who is hardest on you, unkind to you…, love him. He is most in need of your love. And most of all, love yourself and learn to love yourself for who you are.Finally, know that I love you and always will.

(每空一词)Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy. He was the oldest of five children in a worker’s family. He enjoyed going to the sea when he was a young boy.He heard that there was a lot of gold and other valuable things in East India. He wanted to find a short way to get to the Indies by ship. On August 3, 1492, he sailed toward the west from Palos, Spain with three ships. After many days, the sailors had covered a long distance on the sea and were ready to turn around for home when they saw land, an island Columbus named San Salvador. He thought he had found the Indies and called the people he saw there “Indians”. When they got to Cuba, he thought he was in Japan. The world was a lot larger than he thought.In his life, he made four trips across the ocean. His 13-year-old son, Ferdinand, went with him during the last time. He returned to Spain in 1504. Columbus did not become rich as he had hoped. At the end of his life he only had a pension(退休金) the king and the queen had given him because he was the first to reach the New World. He died in 1506, still believing that he had found a new route to East India and that he had reached Asia.Columbus didn’t get to school very much, but he learned to read and write Spanish during his travels. He also taught himself Latin because all the geography books were written in Latin. He is remembered by all not only for the New World he discovered, but also for the way he led for other explorers.答案：76.birthplace 77.age 78.trip 79.because 80.much81.mistake 82.another 83.Instead 84.remember 85.led六、任务型阅读(共10空；每小题1分，计10分）阅读短文，根据短文信息完成文后表格，在横线上写出空缺单词的正确形式。
