That’s because hippos spend up to 16 hours a day in the water to stay away from the hot weather in Africa. They sleep in the water, and their babies are also born there. You may think hippos live only in rivers or lakes, and they are good at swimming. However, they can’t swim. They are just large enough to walk in the water or stand on the lake floor. They can breathe (呼吸), see and hear when their bodies are under the water because their noses, eyes and ears are on the top of their heads. When the sun goes down, hippos will come out of the water and travel to look for food.    ③It’s easy to think hippos are funny and friendly animals. But the truth is that they are easy to be angry and often fight ____▲____ ? They fight with lions as well as crocodiles for land or rivers. They fight to protect their young babies. They also attack (袭击) boats that come too close to them for safety (安全). In fact, hippos are dangerous! ④Hippos may look like big, slow animals, but they can run fast—about 30 kilometers an hour. That’s faster than a person can run. ⑤In a word, if you meet hippos in the wild, just stay away from them! 1．The hippo stays in the water during daytime mainly to _________.

The clear, blue sky and the cool wind made my morning tea enjoyable. Everything was quiet and the book in my hands was lovely. Suddenly (突然) I felt my chair moving. At that moment, I thought to myself, “It is an earthquake (地震).” I was so scared that I ran to my parents.

The black and orange butterflies face insecticides (杀虫剂), loss of milkweed—the plant monarchs lay eggs on and the caterpillars’ only food, and habitat (栖息地) loss. City people making a difference The smaller population led Field Museum researchers in Chicago to ask: what makes a successful monarch garden? Hasle, an ecologist (生态学家) at the Field Museum, and Karen Klinger, a geographer, are working to answer that question. Many stops along the monarchs migratory route (迁徙路线) are trying to help out the butterfly, looking for more places where milkweed might grow. “We think, in one way, cities are giving an important place for a lot of insects (昆虫),” Hasle said. Although the project is still very new, there are already some findings. Unlike some other field work derailed by the COVID-19, the monarch project worked well with more people staying home to watch over their gardens. According to the weekly reports participants (参与者) sent, more successful gardens had more milkweed and flowering plants or much larger fields. But Klinger said one participant with only one plant watched eggs change all the way to a chrysalis. “So,” she said, “you just need one plant.” ________ In 2020, during the second season of the study, the number of caterpillars dropped, even though there were more participants. Chicago saw a hot, dry summer in 2020, which may have affected (影响) the health of the milkweed plants. In 2021, the reports out of Mexico noted illegal logging (非法砍伐), as well as trees hit by wind and drought (干旱). But they also said spring and summer weather were hard for milkweed flowers and egg development in the southern U.S., which affected the growth of butterflies. Not giving up Now is the perfect time to start planning to plant some milkweed, Hasle and Klinger said. “The best thing to do is what you can do,” Hasle said. “One milkweed plant in a pot (花盆) on your window board is doing something. Probably it gives you something to look forward to during the boring winter in Chicago.” 1．According to the report, which is NOT the reason for the reduced populations of monarch butterflies? A．The habitat loss. B．The colors of caterpillars. C．The use of insecticides. D．The loss of milkweed. 2．The word “derailed” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”. A．completed B．improved C．stopped D．decided 3．What is the best heading for Paragraph 4 and 5? A．Difficulties we meet B．Illegal logging C．A bright future D．Fighting against drought 4．The writer writes the passage to ________. A．encourage people to keep more monarchs B．warn people the danger of the loss of milkweed C．advise people to grow more flowers in their gardens D．ask people to give a better environment for monarchs （23-24八年级上·天津河北·期中）Yao Xin, 23, is a panda keeper at the Xining Wildlife Park. “People may think the job is easy, but I work long hours and sometimes even at night,” she said. “However, it isn’t tiring at all when I see the cute animals.” For Yao, becoming panda keeper was unexpected (出乎意料的).

It is a spelling competition in the United States. If you heard the word “koinonia”, would you be able to spell it? This was the strange word that Karthik Nemmani, 14, spelled correctly to win the 2018 spelling competition on May 31st. As a result, he won a prize of $40,000.

They are about 6 to 7 feet high and they can run up to 40 miles per hour. They are called the ship of the desert (沙漠) because they can live in the desert without food and water for six to ten days, taking people and things. A camel’s body is right for desert life. A camel has special feet helping it walk in the desert. To fight with blowing sand, a camel’s ears have fur (毛皮). Its long eyelashes (眼睫毛) protect its eyes. On a desert trip, a camel can live on little food and water. Its special body part keeps fat so it can go without eating for days. A camel can lose as much as a fourth of its body weight (重量) without getting sick. Also, its body temperature can go up by more than 10℉ before it has sweat (汗). In this way, the camel doesn’t lose as much water from sweat as a horse or a person would. When the weather is cool, camels can go for as long as several months without water. During the summer, when temperatures are higher, they can live without water for up to ten days. To become fresh from a long desert trip, a camel drinks as much as 21 gallons of water in ten minutes. Drinking that much water so quickly might kill any other animal. But too much water or too little doesn’t hurt a camel. After a few days’ rest, the camel is ready to cross the desert again! 1．How is a camel in the writer’s mind? A．It is lazy. B．It can help save food. C．It is right for desert life.

Christian is an ornithologist (鸟类学家) and works for a project to help a group of endangered geese fly from Norway to France in a light aircraft (飞行器). Thomas decided to join his father to help him with the task. To guide the geese to France, Thomas had to use a skill called imprinting. This is about letting the geese live with humans from a young age, so they learn to recognize them as their leaders. Thomas spent a lot of time with the geese, talking to them, and even sleeping in the same room as them. This helped the geese build close connection with him and see him as their leader. Once the geese were comfortable with Thomas, they were ready to make their first flight with their leader—Thomas. He carefully put the geese into the plane. As they took off, the geese became uneasy and started to flap their wings, which could make the aircraft unstable. To solve this problem, Thomas used his knowledge of birds to create a peaceful environment for the geese. As they flew across the ocean, the team met unexpected weather conditions, including strong winds and turbulence (湍流). Thomas remained calm, using his knowledge of birds to guess their reactions (反应) in advance and ensured the geese remain calm and safe. Finally, they successfully arrived in France, where Thomas released the geese into the wild. 1．What does Thomas decide to do with his father? A．To spend summer holidays with his father.

But they have really been liked by a lot of people over the last ten years. More than three million all-electric cars, trucks and vans are now on the road worldwide. Helping the Environment Most cars run on petrol. They burn petrol or other fossil fuels (燃料) in their engines, and send a lot of greenhouse gases into the air. Electric vehicles don’t burn petrol. Strong batteries run their electric engines. So electric vehicles don’t directly produce greenhouse gases. Poop (粪) Power Electric vehicles are better for the environment. But they are not perfect. Their batteries often use electricity that was made by burning fossil fuels. But an electric vehicle uses less energy than a vehicle that runs on petrol. Also, some of the electricity comes from “greener” sources, such as solar and wind power. And some may soon come from a new source—cow poop! An electric car company has worked together with a large dairy farm. They plan to make electricity by using greenhouse gases from cow poop. Always Improving One of the problems for electric vehicles is their limited range. This is how far they can travel before their batteries need another charge (充电). But now their range is improving. Some new electric vehicles can travel almost three times as far as older ones did. Another problem is finding a place to recharge the batteries. But there are more charging stations than before. China now has thousands more charging stations than it did ten years ago. In Sweden, engineers have even designed a road that will charge electric vehicles as they drive along. 1．Which of the following best describes electric vehicles according to Paragraph 1? A．Useless. B．Popular. C．Cheap. D．Perfect. 2．How does the company which works with a dairy farm plan to make electricity? A．By burning petrol. B．By burning fossil fuels. C．By using solar power. D．By using cow poop. 3．What is TRUE about the electric vehicles? A．They can be charged when driving under the sun. B．They don’t produce any greenhouse gases. C．They use less energy than petrol-powered cars. D．They can travel farther than petrol-powered cars. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．The introduction of electric vehicles. B．The reasons for buying electric vehicles. C．The ways to produce more electric vehicles. D．The development of electric vehicles. （23-24八年级上·重庆沙坪坝·期中）Drivers in London may need to pay more money from Aug 29. The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ，超低排放区) now covers the whole city. If someone drives a polluting (污染的) car in London, he or she has to pay 12.5 pounds (about 115 yuan) every day. The polluting cars are petrol cars (汽油车) made before 2006 and diesel cars (柴油车) made before 2016. Because they are old, they make the air more polluted. The ULEZ first started in 2015 but now it is a much bigger area. The goal is to make the air cleaner and make traffic better. London mayor Sadiq Khan said this will help 5,000,000 more Londoners “breathe (呼吸) cleaner air,” according to The Guardian. But the ULEZ costs people more money, so people are unhappy. Hirbod Pirnia complained to Euro News that every day when he leaves his house, he has to pay 12.5 pounds for ULEZ. Pirnia is a university student in London. The cost of living is too high, he said. Some people even broke ULEZ cameras (摄像头). By Aug 1,164 cameras were lost, and 185 cameras were broken, according to London’s police. To make things easier, Transport for London wants people to take the bus or subway, walk or ride bikes in the city. 1．What does the driver of a less clean car pay for in ULEZ?

Researchers(研究者) are studying the relationship(关系) between music and remembering a foreign language. “Singing could be a new way of learning, especially for a foreign language. The brain(脑) likes to remember things in a catchy(悦耳易记的) and relaxing way. For example, children can remember difficult words quickly when they are in a song,” said Dr. Karen Ludke. If children find it difficult to learn foreign languages, this new way may help. On his blog, Dr. Ludke wrote “A listen-and-repeat(重复) singing way can help to learn foreign languages and open the door for future research in this area.” Many language teachers know the importance of music and they often use it in teaching and learning. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington DC, likes using songs in teaching Chinese. She said, “I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids usually we use English songs but teach them the Chinese lyrics(歌词). Not only does it work, but it is fun for children. Sometimes I think if I learned English that way when I was young, maybe I could speak English much better.” Our brain likes music in learning languages, especially for remembering. If you are still having problems in learning a language, why not try singing it out? 根据语篇内容，选择最佳答案。 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By asking questions. B．By telling a story. C．By listing numbers. 2．Why can singing help people learn foreign languages? A．Because people can learn languages from the lyrics. B．Because it’s easier for brain to remember things in this way. C．Because singing songs is very popular all around the world. 3．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Little kids. B．English songs. C．Languages. 4．What can we learn from this passage? A．Learning foreign languages can open the door for future. B．Teachers should have some special ways to teach students. C．It’s helpful for children to learn foreign languages in music. 5．What’s the best title of this passage? A．The importance of music B．A great foreign language teacher C．Learning foreign languages in music （23-24八年级上·江西抚州·期中）If you feel sad, remember not to watch a happy movie. A sad movie may be good for you. Some scientists at Ohio State University found that sad movies can make people happier. They showed their study in a magazine called Communication Reaches. Scientists asked 361 college students to watch a sad movie. The movie tells a story of two lovers who were separated. They died during World War II at the end of the movie. The 361 college students answered questions from the scientists before, after and three times during the movie to find out their different feeling, such as sadness. According to the result, scientists found out that people felt better after watching the sad movie. Scientists believed this was because the movie made them think about their lives. Compared to those of unlucky lovers, their lives were full of hope. “I want to live my life to the fullest, and this movie made me think a lot,” one student wrote. Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, the head of the study, said that bad moods (情绪) would make people more thoughtful. “Good moods are usually a sign that everything is fine. You don’t have to worry, and you don’t have to think about your problems in your life,” she said. “But bad moods make you feel terrible. So, seeing a sad movie may make you feel bad, but that will make you think more about yourself and be full of hope in the future.” 1．Why did the scientist ask the college students to watch a sad movie? A．To help them make more friends. B．To make them feel better about themselves. C．To find out how they felt after watching it. D．To ask them share their feelings. 2．How many times did the students answer questions from the scientists? A．Six times. B．Five times. C．Four times. D．Three times. 3．What does the underlined word “those” refer to? A．Stories. B．Feelings. C．Friends. D．Lives. 4．What does the writer want to tell us? A．Watch a sad movie when we are sad. B．Find true love when feel sad. C．See a happy film when we feel bad. D．Think about others when we are down. 5．How did the college students’ feeling change? A．happy-scared-sad B．sad-excited-happy C．terrible-lucky-hopeful D．terrible-serious-sad （23-24八年级上·辽宁沈阳·期中）Have you ever gotten stung（蛰）by a bee?

That’s because hippos spend up to 16 hours a day in the water to stay away from the hot weather in Africa. They sleep in the water, and their babies are also born there. You may think hippos live only in rivers or lakes, and they are good at swimming. However, they can’t swim. They are just large enough to walk in the water or stand on the lake floor.

When the sun goes down, hippos will come out of the water and travel to look for food.    ③It’s easy to think hippos are funny and friendly animals. But the truth is that they are easy to be angry and often fight ____▲____ ? They fight with lions as well as crocodiles for land or rivers. They fight to protect their young babies. They also attack (袭击) boats that come too close to them for safety (安全). In fact, hippos are dangerous! ④Hippos may look like big, slow animals, but they can run fast—about 30 kilometers an hour.

The black and orange butterflies face insecticides (杀虫剂), loss of milkweed—the plant monarchs lay eggs on and the caterpillars’ only food, and habitat (栖息地) loss. City people making a difference The smaller population led Field Museum researchers in Chicago to ask: what makes a successful monarch garden? Hasle, an ecologist (生态学家) at the Field Museum, and Karen Klinger, a geographer, are working to answer that question. Many stops along the monarchs migratory route (迁徙路线) are trying to help out the butterfly, looking for more places where milkweed might grow. “We think, in one way, cities are giving an important place for a lot of insects (昆虫),” Hasle said. Although the project is still very new, there are already some findings. Unlike some other field work derailed by the COVID-19, the monarch project worked well with more people staying home to watch over their gardens. According to the weekly reports participants (参与者) sent, more successful gardens had more milkweed and flowering plants or much larger fields. But Klinger said one participant with only one plant watched eggs change all the way to a chrysalis. “So,” she said, “you just need one plant.” ________ In 2020, during the second season of the study, the number of caterpillars dropped, even though there were more participants. Chicago saw a hot, dry summer in 2020, which may have affected (影响) the health of the milkweed plants. In 2021, the reports out of Mexico noted illegal logging (非法砍伐), as well as trees hit by wind and drought (干旱). But they also said spring and summer weather were hard for milkweed flowers and egg development in the southern U.S., which affected the growth of butterflies. Not giving up Now is the perfect time to start planning to plant some milkweed, Hasle and Klinger said. “The best thing to do is what you can do,” Hasle said. “One milkweed plant in a pot (花盆) on your window board is doing something. Probably it gives you something to look forward to during the boring winter in Chicago.” 1．According to the report, which is NOT the reason for the reduced populations of monarch butterflies? A．The habitat loss. B．The colors of caterpillars. C．The use of insecticides. D．The loss of milkweed. 2．The word “derailed” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”. A．completed B．improved C．stopped D．decided 3．What is the best heading for Paragraph 4 and 5? A．Difficulties we meet B．Illegal logging C．A bright future D．Fighting against drought 4．The writer writes the passage to ________. A．encourage people to keep more monarchs B．warn people the danger of the loss of milkweed C．advise people to grow more flowers in their gardens D．ask people to give a better environment for monarchs 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文介绍了帝王蝶数量骤减的原因、芝加哥研究人员保护帝王蝶项目的成功尝试，并鼓励大家在自家花园种植乳草属植物来为帝王蝶提供更好的生存环境。 1．细节理解题。根据“The black and orange butterflies face insecticides (杀虫剂), loss of milkweed—the plant monarchs lay eggs on and the caterpillars’ only food, and habitat (栖息地) loss.”可知造成帝王蝶减少的原因有：使用杀虫剂、乳草属植物的减少和栖息地的减少。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Unlike some other field work derailed by the COVID-19, the monarch project worked well with more people staying home to watch over their gardens.”可知帝王蝶项目进行顺利，因为有更多的人可以待在家里照顾他们的花园，不像其他田园工作受到了新冠疫情的影响。因此意思是“stopped”。故选C。 3．最佳标题题。根据“Chicago saw a hot, dry summer in...the reports out of Mexico noted illegal logging (非法砍伐), as well as trees hit by wind and drought…which affected the growth of butterflies”可知这两段主要说明的是我们遇到的困难，导致帝王蝶数量下降的原因。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“The best thing to do is...gives you something to look forward to during the boring winter in Chicago.”可知作者的目的是号召人们给帝王蝶提供更好的生存环境。故选D。 （23-24八年级上·天津河北·期中）Yao Xin, 23, is a panda keeper at the Xining Wildlife Park. “People may think the job is easy, but I work long hours and sometimes even at night,” she said. “However, it isn’t tiring at all when I see the cute animals.” For Yao, becoming panda keeper was unexpected (出乎意料的).

If so, you can join in the Scripps National Spelling Bee. It is a spelling competition in the United States. If you heard the word “koinonia”, would you be able to spell it? This was the strange word that Karthik Nemmani, 14, spelled correctly to win the 2018 spelling competition on May 31st. As a result, he won a prize of $40,000. The Scripps National Spelling Bee has been held in May or June every year since 1925. It is open to students around the world who are less than 15 years old and have not yet finished eighth grade. Competitors have to correctly spell English words to win the competition. The words are usually quite hard to spell because they are either uncommon or have many letters. One interesting fact about the competition is that most of the winners in recent years have been Indian-Americans. Karthik Nemmani is the 19th Indian-American winner in the last 23 years. One reason for this is that Indian-American parents pay attention to their children’s education. Their kids often work much harder than others in both school and their future work. 1．The Scripps National Spelling Bee had been held ________ times by 2018.

Camels are big. They are about 6 to 7 feet high and they can run up to 40 miles per hour. They are called the ship of the desert (沙漠) because they can live in the desert without food and water for six to ten days, taking people and things. A camel’s body is right for desert life. A camel has special feet helping it walk in the desert. To fight with blowing sand, a camel’s ears have fur (毛皮). Its long eyelashes (眼睫毛) protect its eyes. On a desert trip, a camel can live on little food and water. Its special body part keeps fat so it can go without eating for days. A camel can lose as much as a fourth of its body weight (重量) without getting sick. Also, its body temperature can go up by more than 10℉ before it has sweat (汗). In this way, the camel doesn’t lose as much water from sweat as a horse or a person would. When the weather is cool, camels can go for as long as several months without water. During the summer, when temperatures are higher, they can live without water for up to ten days. To become fresh from a long desert trip, a camel drinks as much as 21 gallons of water in ten minutes. Drinking that much water so quickly might kill any other animal. But too much water or too little doesn’t hurt a camel. After a few days’ rest, the camel is ready to cross the desert again! 1．How is a camel in the writer’s mind? A．It is lazy. B．It can help save food. C．It is right for desert life. D．It is a kind of short animal. 2．What does a camel do when it comes back after a long desert trip? A．It starts to sweat. B．It drinks lots of water. C．It eats more than ever. D．It needs to rest for a long time. 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Camels are the biggest and fastest animals in the world. B．The camel’s short eyelashes can help fight with blowing sand. C．If it is necessary, the camel can walk without eating or drinking for days. D．The camel can walk without water for days, but it must eat much every day. 4．Why does the writer write the passage? A．To tell us about a special animal. B．To show us what camels eat. C．To tell us to protect camels. D．To tell us some new ways of traveling. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了有关骆驼的相关知识。 1．细节理解题。根据“They are called the ship of the desert (沙漠) because they can live in the desert without food and water for six to ten days, taking people and things.”和“A camel’s body is right for desert life.”可知，在作者心中，骆驼适合沙漠生活，故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“To become fresh from a long desert trip, a camel drinks as much as 21 gallons of water in ten minutes.”可知，骆驼在长途沙漠旅行回来后，为了从长途沙漠旅行中恢复精力，骆驼会在十分钟内要喝下多达21加仑的水。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“because they can live in the desert without food and water for six to ten days,”、“On a desert trip, a camel can live on little food and water. Its special body part keeps fat so it can go without eating for days. ”和“When the weather is cool, camels can go for as long as several months without water.”可知，如果有必要，骆驼可以一连几天不吃不喝地走，故选C。 4．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了一种特别的动物——骆驼的相关知识，故选A。 （23-24八年级上·四川宜宾·期中）Hello, I’m Bill.

Christian is an ornithologist (鸟类学家) and works for a project to help a group of endangered geese fly from Norway to France in a light aircraft (飞行器). Thomas decided to join his father to help him with the task. To guide the geese to France, Thomas had to use a skill called imprinting. This is about letting the geese live with humans from a young age, so they learn to recognize them as their leaders. Thomas spent a lot of time with the geese, talking to them, and even sleeping in the same room as them. This helped the geese build close connection with him and see him as their leader. Once the geese were comfortable with Thomas, they were ready to make their first flight with their leader—Thomas. He carefully put the geese into the plane. As they took off, the geese became uneasy and started to flap their wings, which could make the aircraft unstable. To solve this problem, Thomas used his knowledge of birds to create a peaceful environment for the geese. As they flew across the ocean, the team met unexpected weather conditions, including strong winds and turbulence (湍流). Thomas remained calm, using his knowledge of birds to guess their reactions (反应) in advance and ensured the geese remain calm and safe.

They have been around for more than a hundred years. But they have really been liked by a lot of people over the last ten years. More than three million all-electric cars, trucks and vans are now on the road worldwide. Helping the Environment Most cars run on petrol. They burn petrol or other fossil fuels (燃料) in their engines, and send a lot of greenhouse gases into the air. Electric vehicles don’t burn petrol. Strong batteries run their electric engines. So electric vehicles don’t directly produce greenhouse gases. Poop (粪) Power Electric vehicles are better for the environment. But they are not perfect. Their batteries often use electricity that was made by burning fossil fuels. But an electric vehicle uses less energy than a vehicle that runs on petrol. Also, some of the electricity comes from “greener” sources, such as solar and wind power. And some may soon come from a new source—cow poop! An electric car company has worked together with a large dairy farm. They plan to make electricity by using greenhouse gases from cow poop. Always Improving One of the problems for electric vehicles is their limited range. This is how far they can travel before their batteries need another charge (充电). But now their range is improving. Some new electric vehicles can travel almost three times as far as older ones did. Another problem is finding a place to recharge the batteries. But there are more charging stations than before. China now has thousands more charging stations than it did ten years ago. In Sweden, engineers have even designed a road that will charge electric vehicles as they drive along. 1．Which of the following best describes electric vehicles according to Paragraph 1? A．Useless. B．Popular. C．Cheap. D．Perfect. 2．How does the company which works with a dairy farm plan to make electricity? A．By burning petrol. B．By burning fossil fuels. C．By using solar power. D．By using cow poop. 3．What is TRUE about the electric vehicles? A．They can be charged when driving under the sun. B．They don’t produce any greenhouse gases. C．They use less energy than petrol-powered cars. D．They can travel farther than petrol-powered cars. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．The introduction of electric vehicles. B．The reasons for buying electric vehicles. C．The ways to produce more electric vehicles. D．The development of electric vehicles. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了电动汽车的优缺点。 1．推理判断题。根据“But they have really been liked by a lot of people over the last ten years.”可知，本段提到了电动汽车很受人们欢迎。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“An electric car company has worked together with a large dairy farm.

The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ，超低排放区) now covers the whole city. If someone drives a polluting (污染的) car in London, he or she has to pay 12.5 pounds (about 115 yuan) every day. The polluting cars are petrol cars (汽油车) made before 2006 and diesel cars (柴油车) made before 2016. Because they are old, they make the air more polluted. The ULEZ first started in 2015 but now it is a much bigger area. The goal is to make the air cleaner and make traffic better. London mayor Sadiq Khan said this will help 5,000,000 more Londoners “breathe (呼吸) cleaner air,” according to The Guardian. But the ULEZ costs people more money, so people are unhappy. Hirbod Pirnia complained to Euro News that every day when he leaves his house, he has to pay 12.5 pounds for ULEZ. Pirnia is a university student in London. The cost of living is too high, he said. Some people even broke ULEZ cameras (摄像头). By Aug 1,164 cameras were lost, and 185 cameras were broken, according to London’s police. To make things easier, Transport for London wants people to take the bus or subway, walk or ride bikes in the city. 1．What does the driver of a less clean car pay for in ULEZ? A．The right to park a car in London. B．The polluting air from the car. C．Cleaning the city street. D．The bigger area it takes up. 2．Why did people set ULEZ? a. To help people spend less money on cars.        b. To improve the traffic (改善交通) in London. c. To make the air clean.    d. To make more money.

D．Some people are angry with ULEZ. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了伦敦超低排放区的规定以及大众的反应。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“If someone drives a polluting car in London, he or she has to pay 12.5 pounds (about 115 yuan) every day.”和第二段“Because they are old, they make the air more polluted.”可知，在超低排放区一辆不太干净的汽车的司机要为汽车排放的污染气体买单。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“The goal is to make the air cleaner and make traffic better.”可知，设置低排放区的原因是为了空气更清洁，交通更顺畅。故选C。 3．词义猜测题。根据第四段“But the ULEZ costs people more money, so people are unhappy.”和“every day when he leaves his house, he has to pay 12.5 pounds for ULEZ.”可知，因为超低排放区的设置，人们不高兴，所以他们会有所抱怨。所以complain意为“抱怨”，即不高兴地说一些事。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据第五段“Some people even broke ULEZ cameras. By Aug 1,164 cameras were lost, and 185 cameras were broken, according to London’s police.”可知，丢失摄像头的事实表明了一些人对超低排放区感到愤怒。故选D。 （23-24八年级上·广西南宁·期中）How can you remember a song for a long time?

A sad movie may be good for you. Some scientists at Ohio State University found that sad movies can make people happier. They showed their study in a magazine called Communication Reaches. Scientists asked 361 college students to watch a sad movie. The movie tells a story of two lovers who were separated. They died during World War II at the end of the movie. The 361 college students answered questions from the scientists before, after and three times during the movie to find out their different feeling, such as sadness. According to the result, scientists found out that people felt better after watching the sad movie. Scientists believed this was because the movie made them think about their lives. Compared to those of unlucky lovers, their lives were full of hope. “I want to live my life to the fullest, and this movie made me think a lot,” one student wrote. Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, the head of the study, said that bad moods (情绪) would make people more thoughtful. “Good moods are usually a sign that everything is fine. You don’t have to worry, and you don’t have to think about your problems in your life,” she said. “But bad moods make you feel terrible. So, seeing a sad movie may make you feel bad, but that will make you think more about yourself and be full of hope in the future.” 1．Why did the scientist ask the college students to watch a sad movie? A．To help them make more friends. B．To make them feel better about themselves. C．To find out how they felt after watching it. D．To ask them share their feelings. 2．How many times did the students answer questions from the scientists? A．Six times. B．Five times. C．Four times.
