期中复习之阅读理解20篇 (深圳期中真题) （23-24八年级上·广东深圳·期中）①How do we know the time? A clock, a watch or a mobile phone can help us. However, many years ago, there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries, people have developed different ways of telling the time.   ②About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building. Its shadow (影子) showed the movement of the sun. So people could know midday. On cloudy days or at night, it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows (流动) from one bottle to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. But they failed to make people know the exact time. ③In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. In 1927, the first quartz (石英) clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build. It’s also cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock. More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. Nowadays, satellites can send our mobile phones the time to the exact second. ④There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed and not being late for school or work. 1．According to the passage, we can’t use ________ to tell the time on a rainy day.

But sleeping can also be dangerous because other animals may hurt those who are sleeping. This leads to many different ways of sleeping that help them stay safe. Some of these ways may surprise you! Almost all bats sleep upside down. They hang from a branch of a tree or the ceiling of a cave. Up high, bats are safe from most other animals. If they are in danger,they just fly away. A dolphin sleeps with just half its brain at a time. It must stay awake to breathe and to watch for danger. Dolphin mothers and babies can go without sleep for as long as two months to stay safe. Some ducks sleep with just half their brains, too. These ducks often sleep in a line. The ducks at both ends help to keep the group safe. They keep one eye open to watch for danger. The ducks in the middle sleep deeply with both eyes closed. Seals breathe air, but that doesn’t stop some of them from sleeping underwater. They hold their breath and dive deep to sleep for up to twenty minutes at a time. Sleeping deep underwater helps these seals stay safe from animals that hunt them near the surface. Horses often sleep standing up. Their legs lock in place so they don’t fall over. If a horse is lying down, it needs a long time to get up. A horse can run from danger more quickly if it is already standing. Some seabirds can sleep while they fly. These large birds spend most of their lives over the ocean. They are in danger on the water, but they are safe in the air. They fly for many hours without flapping（拍打）their wings. Sometimes they sleep while they are flying. Would you like to sleep how they sleep? 1．The animals that sleep with half their brains are ________. A．ducks and seals B．dolphins and ducks C．bats and dolphins D．horses and sea birds 2．Horses often stand up when they sleep because ________.

Now, scientists think they know how they do it. The birds’ trick is called “feathering.” It changes the angle of their wings while swimming. That helps them achieve faster speed. Bo Yin is a scientist. He works at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. He and other scientists watched videos of the birds. They also made computer models of penguin wings in motion (动作). Then, they looked at the models. They saw the effect of feathering. How does feathering work? A penguin raises the bottoms of its wings. It moves them forward or back. That changes the wings’ angle to the water and also reduces the water resistance against a penguin’s wings. That means less water pushes against the wings. This lets the penguin move ahead faster. How often a Gentoo flaps (拍打) its wings also plays an important role. Flapping many times per second helps the bird move forward. But it uses more energy. So, it’s not really the best way to gain speed. Yin and his team found the most efficient way for penguins is to tilt their wings back 18 degrees and flap about once per second. H. Tanaka, an engineer, has studied penguin movement. A computer model can capture many key details of penguin wings, he says. But still, it isn’t 100 percent true. “This model was still simpler than the real penguin,” Tanaka says. 1．What is the Gentoo penguin known for? A．Being the largest penguin species. B．Being the smallest penguin species. C．Being the best diver among penguins. D．Being the fastest swimming bird in the world. 2．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The meaning of feathering. B．The ways feathering work. C．The study about feathering. D．The importance of feathering. 3．What does “gain” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．develop B．reduce C．stop D．change 4．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．In the future, more detailed work is needed. B．The wing model was as flat as the real penguin. C．The study failed to capture the movement of the bird. D．The model failed to get the details of penguin wings. 5．Where can you find this article? A．A science fiction. B．A science magazine. C．A story book. D．An encyclopedia. （23-24八年级上·广东深圳·期中）A kind of strange food has become popular on the Internet. There are many videos about it.

Many people have a special number and they hope that it will bring them good luck. In China, people think that, some numbers are lucky or unlucky because those numbers sound similar to some Chinese words that mean something good or bad. For example, the word for number 8 sounds like “making lots of money” in Chinese. So, people think it a very lucky number. Some people will even spend much more money to have 8s in their phone numbers. Do you remember the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing? It opened at 8: 08 p. m. on August 8, 2008. The number 9 is also a lucky number because of its connection to the emperors of China. There were nine dragons on emperors’ robes (龙袍) and it’s told in many Chinese ancient stories that the dragon has nine children. The number of 9 also means “long lasting”. In China, a man would send 99 or 999 roses to his lover with the wishes that the love between them will be long lasting. What’s more, Chinese think that the number 2 is lucky as it’s said that “all good things come in pairs”. For example, during wedding celebrations, you usually find pairs of red candles, double pillows and many other things in pairs and people often give gifts in pairs for someone’s birthday, wedding or other celebrations. So what’s an unlucky number in China? It might be 4. Many Chinese people see 4 as an unlucky number because it sounds similar to the Chinese word “death”. Because of this, many buildings don’t have the fourth floor, and just call it the fifth floor. In Hong Kong, some buildings even skip all floors with the numbered 4, such as 4, 14, 24, 34 and all 40-49 floors. So, a building whose highest floor is 50 may have only 36 floors actually. 1．What makes Chinese people believe a number is lucky or unlucky? A．the shape of the numbers. B．the quantity of the numbers. C．the history of the numbers. D．the sound of the number in Chinese. 2．Some people would pay much more money for ________ A．the Summer Olympic Games. B．the phone numbers with 8s.

There he read some books about the Xinjiang Chengni ink-stone, and then decided to revive the lost skills. It was easier said than done. It took the father and son two years to find proper materials to produce the Chengni ink-stone. That was just the first step. After failing many times, they finally succeeded in making two Chengni ink-stones in 1991. Three years later, on China’s famous ink-stones. But the father and son did not stop there. While improving the skills of making the Chengni ink-stone, they set up a workshop in the hope of passing the skills on to young people.

Quite a few people are very afraid of it, so they may shout for help or try to kill it. Next time you see it, you may need to think twice before killing it. ②There were cockroaches on the earth long ago, and many people believe that they will still be here long after all the people leave it. Cockroaches are small in size, and they are good at climbing and jumping. A cockroach can live for about a week even without a head. These make them great helpers during the search and rescue missions (搜救任务). ③Alper heads up a scientist team at North Carolina Stage University. “I joined the search and rescue missions in Turkey in 1999,” he said. “one of the most difficult problems was to find where the living people were. We needed to find them in a short time, but there was no useful way to help us at that time.” So Alper and his team had the idea of turning cockroaches into special robots. ④Scientists put a small sensor (传感器) and a smart camera (相机) on a cockroach’s back. Cockroaches climb everywhere with them, cockroaches can tell people from other things, and then find where the missing people are. In this way, more people can be saved in time. ⑤All in all, the scientists hope these special cockroach roots will be used for more work over the next five years. “We never thought we would see the day, but here we are!” a scientist said. 1．What’s the main idea of paragraph 2? ________ A．What do cockroaches look like? B．How do cockroaches have a long life? C．Why can cockroaches help with the search? D．When can cockroaches help us during the search? 2．According to Alper, ________ at that time.

You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number. That’s because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world. Why is that? The 11 digits (数字) include three parts. Each part has a different meaning. The first three numbers tell you the mobile phone service provider (服务提供商) you are using. For example, 135 is for the China Mobile Communication Corporation (中国移动) and 188 is for China Unicorn (中国联通). The fourth to the seventh digits tell you where the number is from. And the last four digits are random (随机的). The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population (人口) in the world. We once had 10 numbers. But as our population grew, there were not enough numbers for us to use. So we began to use 11 digits from 1999. 11 digits can make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers. That’s enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China. Also, we can reuse the mobile phone numbers. Usually, the service provider will use a canceled number again after three to six months. If you call a number that you haven’t called for a long time, you may find its owner has changed. Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11-digit mobile phone numbers. But their numbers always start with 0. So they cannot make as many numbers as we can. Countries like the United States, Australia and India use phone numbers with 10 digits. Canada’s mobile phone numbers are perhaps the world’s shortest: they use seven digits. 1．What can we learn from the mobile phone number 188-4792-8343? A．The service provider is the China Mobile Communication Corporation. B．The digits 4792 tell you the area the mobile phone number is from. C．There are ten digits in the mobile phone number. D．The digits 8343 tell you the number of service providers in China. 2．Why do we use 11-digit mobile phone numbers in China? A．There are many people in China. B．People in China can remember numbers well. C．11 is a lucky number for Chinese people. D．It helps people to remember more phone numbers. 3．What does the underlined word “canceled” mean? A．out of time B．out of use C．out of sight D．out of breath 4．Which of the following can make the most mobile phone numbers? A．10 digits starting with 1 B．11 digits starting with 0 C．11 digits starting with 1 D．10 digits starting with 0 5．Which countries use phone numbers with 10 digits? A．Britain and Japan. B．Britain and China. C．Canada and Australia. D．India and Australia. （23-24八年级上·广东深圳·期中）Last fall, I went to New York for sightseeing. I visited many tourist attractions there, and I also saw many unfortunate citizens on the street like beggars and homeless people. Standing outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I heard a voice ask, “Can you do me a favor?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman extending out her hand. Naturally, I reached into my pocket for some change immediately and placed it in her hand without even looking at her. I was really annoyed at being bothered by a beggar. What I only thought at that moment was to send her away. But the blind woman said with a warm smile on her face, “I don’t want your money. I just need you to show me the way to the subway entrance.” Suddenly, I realized what I had done. Her unexpected words took me by surprise and shame. I had acted with prejudice (偏见). I felt ashamed of myself and couldn’t face the old woman anymore. And I felt small beside her. This reminded me that I believed in being humble (谦逊的), even though I had lost that belief for a moment. The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Honduras and arrived n the U.S. at an early age. Through the years, I have experienced many acts of prejudice. I remember a time when I was a busboy, I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me.

They sell everything from drinks to clothes at good prices. Lots of customers would like to buy something each time they pass by. This is the trunk market which has become popular in many cities recently. Those who sell things at the stalls are mostly young people. Many young stallholders say they set up the stalls out of interest. They think they might be able to make some money after work. And they find the lively market brings them a special feeling of satisfaction. “Every time I work at my stall, I get to talk with nice passers-by. It feels great to meet new friends,” said a stallholder. “I really enjoy hearing people tell me how good my coffee is,” another stallholder said. But young people can’t expect to make a lot of money from the business because the number would fluctuate. For example, a coffee stall may sell 60 cups of coffee on a good day, but less than 10 cups on another day. And when the weather is bad, the stallholder can’t even go out to the market. While enjoying the fun of buying things at the trunk market, some people also worry about its development. As the food sold there is mostly fast food, no one knows for sure whether it is safe.

As a native of Guizhou Province, Shu has had a deep love for traditional Chinese clothes since her childhood. “I have become friends with many customers as we have the same hobbies. We often exchange views on styles and production skills,” said Shu, adding that young people make up a big part of her customers. Shu is not alone in the recent developing guochao market. Over the past few years, China has seen an increase in young consumers (消费者). Those young people are interested in domestic (国内的) brands and products that include traditional Chinese style and culture, a trend known as guochao. This is not just a flash-in-the-pan fashion, but a long-lasting trend that shows the changing preferences and habits of Chinese consumers. In China, there are around 260 million people born between 1995 and 2009, who are often called “Generation Z”. Growing up in a different environment from their elders, they have formed a new buying habit thanks to China’s rise as a global engine. Beijing’s Palace Museum has been at the forefront (前沿) of the nationwide guochao trend. Its lipsticks and blushes with traditional Chinese patterns are always the bestsellers on the shelves. These products have been very popular with Generation Z consumers.

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. B．To help all geese in Norway fly to France. C．To fly some endangered geese to France. D．To complete a flying task on his own. 2．Thomas built close connection with the geese by doing the following EXCEPT ________.

After more than 30 years of development, the company has now beaten Apple and become the world’s second largest maker of smartphones. It has also become the world’s supplier (供应者) of 5G. In China and even in the world, Huawei is a wonder. Although it started producing mobile phones not many years ago, it has become one of the most famous phone companies. But recently, Huawei faces some difficulties. The US government made a law to stop its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the US government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei. They believed that Huawei’s business would be hurt in this way. “We have never received such a request from the Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other systems to collect information,” Ren Zhengfei, Huawei’s president said. “The law would have little effect on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems,” Ren added. In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said. “I started Huawei with only £4000 at the beginning, but now it has become a 100 billion company. The experience was not as romantic as you imagine.” Facing the law of the US, Huawei is growing. Huawei’s smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared with a year earlier in the first three months of 2019. At the same time, sales from both Samsung and Apple fell. So far Huawei has grown into the world’s largest telecommunication equipment supplier (供应商), selling in 170 countries. It may beat Samsung as the largest smartphone maker in the near future. 1．How many kinds of smart phones are mentioned in total in this passage? A．One. B．Two. C．Three.

A clock, a watch or a mobile phone can help us. However, many years ago, there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries, people have developed different ways of telling the time.   ②About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building. Its shadow (影子) showed the movement of the sun. So people could know midday. On cloudy days or at night, it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows (流动) from one bottle to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. But they failed to make people know the exact time. ③In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. In 1927, the first quartz (石英) clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build. It’s also cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock. More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. Nowadays, satellites can send our mobile phones the time to the exact second. ④There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed and not being late for school or work. 1．According to the passage, we can’t use ________ to tell the time on a rainy day. A．water clock B．sun clock C．digital clock D．mechanical clock 2．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ordinary” in the third paragraph? A．modern B．special C．rich D．common 3．How many kinds of clocks are mentioned in the passage? A．Four. B．Five. C．Six. D．Seven. 4．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．The importance of time. B．The development of timekeeping. C．The inventions of ancient clocks. D．The history of a digital clock. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文介绍了从古至今计时方法的不断演变和进步。 1．推理判断题。根据“About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building.

But sleeping can also be dangerous because other animals may hurt those who are sleeping. This leads to many different ways of sleeping that help them stay safe. Some of these ways may surprise you! Almost all bats sleep upside down. They hang from a branch of a tree or the ceiling of a cave. Up high, bats are safe from most other animals. If they are in danger,they just fly away. A dolphin sleeps with just half its brain at a time. It must stay awake to breathe and to watch for danger. Dolphin mothers and babies can go without sleep for as long as two months to stay safe. Some ducks sleep with just half their brains, too. These ducks often sleep in a line. The ducks at both ends help to keep the group safe. They keep one eye open to watch for danger. The ducks in the middle sleep deeply with both eyes closed. Seals breathe air, but that doesn’t stop some of them from sleeping underwater. They hold their breath and dive deep to sleep for up to twenty minutes at a time. Sleeping deep underwater helps these seals stay safe from animals that hunt them near the surface. Horses often sleep standing up. Their legs lock in place so they don’t fall over. If a horse is lying down, it needs a long time to get up. A horse can run from danger more quickly if it is already standing. Some seabirds can sleep while they fly. These large birds spend most of their lives over the ocean. They are in danger on the water, but they are safe in the air. They fly for many hours without flapping（拍打）their wings. Sometimes they sleep while they are flying. Would you like to sleep how they sleep? 1．The animals that sleep with half their brains are ________. A．ducks and seals B．dolphins and ducks C．bats and dolphins D．horses and sea birds 2．Horses often stand up when they sleep because ________. A．they car run from danger quickly B．they are afraid of falling over C．this helps them to sleep deeply D．it takes them a long time to go to sleep 3．The underlined word “hunt” probably means ________.

Now, scientists think they know how they do it. The birds’ trick is called “feathering.” It changes the angle of their wings while swimming. That helps them achieve faster speed. Bo Yin is a scientist. He works at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. He and other scientists watched videos of the birds. They also made computer models of penguin wings in motion (动作). Then, they looked at the models. They saw the effect of feathering. How does feathering work? A penguin raises the bottoms of its wings. It moves them forward or back. That changes the wings’ angle to the water and also reduces the water resistance against a penguin’s wings. That means less water pushes against the wings. This lets the penguin move ahead faster. How often a Gentoo flaps (拍打) its wings also plays an important role. Flapping many times per second helps the bird move forward. But it uses more energy. So, it’s not really the best way to gain speed. Yin and his team found the most efficient way for penguins is to tilt their wings back 18 degrees and flap about once per second. H. Tanaka, an engineer, has studied penguin movement. A computer model can capture many key details of penguin wings, he says. But still, it isn’t 100 percent true. “This model was still simpler than the real penguin,” Tanaka says. 1．What is the Gentoo penguin known for? A．Being the largest penguin species. B．Being the smallest penguin species. C．Being the best diver among penguins. D．Being the fastest swimming bird in the world. 2．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The meaning of feathering.

But it uses more energy. So, it’s not really the best way to gain speed.”可知，每秒拍打多次有助于鸟向前移动。但它消耗的能量更多。所以，这并不是获得速度的最佳方式。gain在此处意为“获得”，与develop意思相近。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“it isn’t 100 percent true. ‘This model was still simpler than the real penguin,’ Tanaka says.”可知，不是百分之百正确的，这个模型仍然比真正的企鹅简单，因此未来需要更详细的研究工作。故选A。 5．推理判断题。本文介绍了科学家们对巴布亚企鹅游泳速度的研究，属于科学类文章，因此最有可能出现在科学杂志上。故选B。 （23-24八年级上·广东深圳·期中）A kind of strange food has become popular on the Internet.

Many people have a special number and they hope that it will bring them good luck. In China, people think that, some numbers are lucky or unlucky because those numbers sound similar to some Chinese words that mean something good or bad. For example, the word for number 8 sounds like “making lots of money” in Chinese. So, people think it a very lucky number. Some people will even spend much more money to have 8s in their phone numbers. Do you remember the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing? It opened at 8: 08 p. m. on August 8, 2008. The number 9 is also a lucky number because of its connection to the emperors of China. There were nine dragons on emperors’ robes (龙袍) and it’s told in many Chinese ancient stories that the dragon has nine children. The number of 9 also means “long lasting”. In China, a man would send 99 or 999 roses to his lover with the wishes that the love between them will be long lasting. What’s more, Chinese think that the number 2 is lucky as it’s said that “all good things come in pairs”. For example, during wedding celebrations, you usually find pairs of red candles, double pillows and many other things in pairs and people often give gifts in pairs for someone’s birthday, wedding or other celebrations. So what’s an unlucky number in China? It might be 4. Many Chinese people see 4 as an unlucky number because it sounds similar to the Chinese word “death”. Because of this, many buildings don’t have the fourth floor, and just call it the fifth floor. In Hong Kong, some buildings even skip all floors with the numbered 4, such as 4, 14, 24, 34 and all 40-49 floors. So, a building whose highest floor is 50 may have only 36 floors actually. 1．What makes Chinese people believe a number is lucky or unlucky? A．the shape of the numbers. B．the quantity of the numbers. C．the history of the numbers. D．the sound of the number in Chinese. 2．Some people would pay much more money for ________ A．the Summer Olympic Games. B．the phone numbers with 8s. C．the emperors’ robes. D．the wedding celebrations. 3．Why would a man like to send 99 roses to his lover? A．Because he thinks that women love roses the best. B．Because the number 9 has a connection o the emperors of China. C．Because he hopes that he will be in love with the woman for a long time. D．Because he wishes that he will have lots of children with the woman in the future. 4．In Hong Kong, you may NOT find the ________ floor in some buildings. A．50th B．35th C．46th D．17th 5．What is the purpose of the author? A．To describe numbers and ancient stories in China. B．To introduce lucky and unlucky numbers in Chinese culture.

You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number. That’s because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world. Why is that? The 11 digits (数字) include three parts. Each part has a different meaning. The first three numbers tell you the mobile phone service provider (服务提供商) you are using. For example, 135 is for the China Mobile Communication Corporation (中国移动) and 188 is for China Unicorn (中国联通). The fourth to the seventh digits tell you where the number is from. And the last four digits are random (随机的). The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population (人口) in the world. We once had 10 numbers. But as our population grew, there were not enough numbers for us to use. So we began to use 11 digits from 1999. 11 digits can make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers. That’s enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China. Also, we can reuse the mobile phone numbers. Usually, the service provider will use a canceled number again after three to six months. If you call a number that you haven’t called for a long time, you may find its owner has changed. Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11-digit mobile phone numbers. But their numbers always start with 0. So they cannot make as many numbers as we can. Countries like the United States, Australia and India use phone numbers with 10 digits. Canada’s mobile phone numbers are perhaps the world’s shortest: they use seven digits. 1．What can we learn from the mobile phone number 188-4792-8343? A．The service provider is the China Mobile Communication Corporation. B．The digits 4792 tell you the area the mobile phone number is from. C．There are ten digits in the mobile phone number. D．The digits 8343 tell you the number of service providers in China. 2．Why do we use 11-digit mobile phone numbers in China? A．There are many people in China. B．People in China can remember numbers well. C．11 is a lucky number for Chinese people. D．It helps people to remember more phone numbers. 3．What does the underlined word “canceled” mean? A．out of time B．out of use C．out of sight D．out of breath 4．Which of the following can make the most mobile phone numbers? A．10 digits starting with 1 B．11 digits starting with 0 C．11 digits starting with 1 D．10 digits starting with 0 5．Which countries use phone numbers with 10 digits? A．Britain and Japan. B．Britain and China. C．Canada and Australia. D．India and Australia. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国手机号码是11位的原因，并介绍了其他国家的手机号码数字。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For example, 135 is for the China Mobile Communication Corporation (中国移动) and 188 is for China Unicorn (中国联通).

And the last four digits are random (随机的).”可知，135是中国移动通信公司，188是中国联通，第四位数到第七位数告诉你这个号码来自哪里，最后四位数字是随机的。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population (人口) in the world.”可知，使用11位数字的主要原因是我们拥有世界上最多的人口。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段中的“If you call a number that you haven’t called for a long time, you may find its owner has changed.”可知，如果你拨打了一个很久没有拨打的号码，你可能会发现它的主人已经改变了，所以划线部分的含义是“取消了的”。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“11 digits can make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers.”以及最后一段中的“Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11-digit mobile phone numbers. But their numbers always start with 0. So they cannot make as many numbers as we can.”并结合选项可知，11位数字可以组成几百亿个电话号码，除了中国，英国和日本也使用11位的手机号码，但它们的数字总是以0开头，所以他们的号码不如我们的多，所以可推知，以1开头的11位数字可以构成最多的电话号码。故选C。 5．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Countries like the United States, Australia and India use phone numbers with 10 digits.”可知，美国、澳大利亚和印度的电话号码是10个数字。故选D。 （23-24八年级上·广东深圳·期中）Last fall, I went to New York for sightseeing. I visited many tourist attractions there, and I also saw many unfortunate citizens on the street like beggars and homeless people. Standing outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I heard a voice ask, “Can you do me a favor?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman extending out her hand. Naturally, I reached into my pocket for some change immediately and placed it in her hand without even looking at her. I was really annoyed at being bothered by a beggar. What I only thought at that moment was to send her away. But the blind woman said with a warm smile on her face, “I don’t want your money. I just need you to show me the way to the subway entrance.” Suddenly, I realized what I had done. Her unexpected words took me by surprise and shame. I had acted with prejudice (偏见). I felt ashamed of myself and couldn’t face the old woman anymore. And I felt small beside her. This reminded me that I believed in being humble (谦逊的), even though I had lost that belief for a moment. The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Honduras and arrived n the U.S. at an early age. Through the years, I have experienced many acts of prejudice. I remember a time when I was a busboy, I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me. But now, living my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to go. It is the blind woman who cured me of my blindness. 1．What did the author think the blind woman wanted at first sight? A．To ask for directions. B．To offer him some help. C．To ask for some money. D．To give him some money. 2．Why did the author feel ashamed? A．Because he couldn’t face the woman. B．Because he was an immigrant himself. C．Because he had prejudice on the woman. D．Because he didn’t judge the woman by her appearance. 3．Why did the author mention his experience as a busboy? A．To show he was a poor boy. B．To tell he didn’t work hard at school. C．To prove he used to be a humble man. D．To show he used to be judged unequally. 4．What does the underlined sentence mean? A．The woman helped the author get eyesight back. B．The woman taught the author some professional knowledge. C．The woman made the author realize the importance of being humble. D．The woman enabled the author to live an American middle-class lifestyle. 5．Which is the best title for the text? A．Have a big dream B．Mind the language C．Help those in need D．Put away the prejudice 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．D 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文讲述了作者因把一位盲人女士的求助误认为是乞讨行为，从而反思自己不应该带着偏见看人的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据“Naturally, I reached into my pocket for some change immediately and placed it in her hand without even looking at her.”可知，作者认为那个女人是想要钱，故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“I had acted with prejudice (偏见). I felt ashamed of myself and couldn’t face the old woman anymore.”可知，作者感到羞愧，因为他对那个女人有偏见。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“Through the years, I have experienced many acts of prejudice. I remember a time when I was a busboy, I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me.”可知，作者提到自己做勤杂工的事情是为了表明他曾经受到不公平的评价。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据前文“This reminded me that I believed in being humble (谦逊的), even though I had lost that belief for a moment.”以及“It is the blind woman who cured me of my blindness.”可知，这件事提醒了作者要谦虚，尽管他一度失去了这个信念。因此划线句子中作者把带有偏见的自己形容成失明的人，而这个女人让作者意识到谦卑的重要性。故选C。 5．标题归纳题。本文讲述了作者因把一位盲人女士的求助误认为是乞讨行为，从而反思自己不应该带着偏见看人的故事，选项D“放下偏见”适合作为文章标题。故选D。 （23-24八年级上·广东深圳·期中）When night falls, trunks (后备箱) of private cars are turned into special mobile stalls (摊位) on the street.

As a native of Guizhou Province, Shu has had a deep love for traditional Chinese clothes since her childhood. “I have become friends with many customers as we have the same hobbies. We often exchange views on styles and production skills,” said Shu, adding that young people make up a big part of her customers. Shu is not alone in the recent developing guochao market.

Growing up in a different environment from their elders, they have formed a new buying habit thanks to China’s rise as a global engine. Beijing’s Palace Museum has been at the forefront (前沿) of the nationwide guochao trend. Its lipsticks and blushes with traditional Chinese patterns are always the bestsellers on the shelves.

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.

After more than 30 years of development, the company has now beaten Apple and become the world’s second largest maker of smartphones. It has also become the world’s supplier (供应者) of 5G. In China and even in the world, Huawei is a wonder. Although it started producing mobile phones not many years ago, it has become one of the most famous phone companies. But recently, Huawei faces some difficulties. The US government made a law to stop its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the US government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei. They believed that Huawei’s business would be hurt in this way. “We have never received such a request from the Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other systems to collect information,” Ren Zhengfei, Huawei’s president said. “The law would have little effect on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems,” Ren added. In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said. “I started Huawei with only £4000 at the beginning, but now it has become a 100 billion company. The experience was not as romantic as you imagine.” Facing the law of the US, Huawei is growing. Huawei’s smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared with a year earlier in the first three months of 2019. At the same time, sales from both Samsung and Apple fell. So far Huawei has grown into the world’s largest telecommunication equipment supplier (供应商), selling in 170 countries.
