Students from Steamboat Spring Middle School in the US could tell you exactly what it’s like. They recently got a taste of the life of a star. A local movie company wanted to produce a film. All the actors in this film were to be students. Fourteen students were chosen from the school. The film, called Ruby vs Wolfgang, was based on the story of Little Red Riding Hood (《小红帽》). It came with a twist (改变), however—the story was told from the perspective (看法) of the wolf. Zoe Walsh, a seventh-grader, signed up to do behind-the-scenes work. But she soon found herself in front of the camera. She played a strange middle school student in the film. “It’s just for fun,” she told the Steamboat Today. “Just pretending that you’re someone else.” But there were also difficulties. It was very cold during shooting. Students had to put up with snow and icy wind. Lack (缺乏) of experience was another problem. The director Michael Staley said he tried to help each student bring out the wolf—or whatever animals they represent—in themselves. Erus Harrington, an eighth-grader, said he played a nice, silly British guy. He learned the British accent all at home. “I just taught myself how to do it by watching videos,” he said “It makes me feel good after I do it because I’m proud of myself.” The students will watch themselves on the big screen for the first time during the film festival at a local high school in May. “I’m probably going to laugh at myself,” said Zach, the brother of Zoe. 1．Fourteen students were chosen as actors in this film, weren’t they? 2．Who did Walsh play in the film? 3．How did Harrington learn the British accent? 4．Where will the students first see the film acted by themselves? 5．What were the two main problems for the actors?  （No more than three words for each blank.） and . 6．What do you think of being a film star? Why do you think so? （23-24八年级上·上海奉贤·期中）Making colorful art on wood Many traditional woodcut prints (版画) are either black and white or simple in color, but reduction woodcuts (绝版木刻) can show rich colors like Western oil paintings. The reduction woodcut is a kind of woodcut that uses one piece of wood to make a colorful artwork. The artist cuts and prints different layers (层) in order on the same piece of wood. Famous for its colors, the reduction woodcut was listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in Pu’er, Yunnan, in 2009. Master’s story Leng Guangmian, 40, is a reduction woodcut artist and he has learnt the art for over 20 years. Leng started learning the art at university in 2003. He said that making reduction woodcut prints is just like an adventure. “Every time we cut a pattern on the block (木块) and then print, we never know what it will be like in the end.” As he sees beautiful patterns layer by layer, he only gets more excited, added Leng. But finishing such work is not easy. He said that before cutting, he needs to plan for the whole print and choose colors for different layers. A big print usually takes months to finish. Leng hopes his artwork shows not only excellent woodcutting skills but also local culture and life. “For my works, there are two series: the Tea Horse Road (茶马古道), since Pu’er is one of the starting points of that road; and disappearing villages,” Leng said. “Many old villages in Pu’er need rebuilding because of safety reasons, so I want to make people remember their beauty before they are gone.” 1．Are reduction woodcuts different from traditional woodcut prints in color? 2．How long has Leng Guangmian learned the reduction woodcut? 3．How does Leng feel when he makes a reduction wood print with patterns layer by layer? 4．Complete the steps in making a reduction woodcut print. 1) 2) Choose colors for different layers. 3) 4) Print. 5．What does Leng hope his artworks show? 6．Do you want to learn reduction woodcut skill? Why or Why not? （23-24八年级上·上海静安·期中）Trees are one of the oldest “citizens”(居民) of our Earth. They keep our air clean, reduce(减少) noise pollution, improve water quality and provide food and building materials. Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. At 1 to 3 years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns(刺) to warn animals not to go near. Most young trees have large, deep green leaves so that they can catch enough sunlight and change it into their food and energy. When trees are 4 years old, they begin to grow every rapidly and become strong enough to face challenges later in life. At the age of 15, trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit. It is not until the tree is 20 to 25 years old that it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. Not only does the adult tree give us shade, oxygen and natural beauty; it is also a great place for a tree house, or a place for us to nap, read a book, listen to music or sip tea. If the adult tree receives proper care, it will continue to live healthily for many years. Gradually(渐渐地), trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have their important place in nature. When a tree becomes hollow or part of it becomes dead, it provides a home to small animals and is a source of food for many other animals. In many ways, the life of a tree is similar to our own life experience. When looking at the life of a tree, we learn that each period of life brings its own form of joy and challenge. Enjoy every minute of it and take care of the trees. 1．How do young trees protect themselves? 2．Do all young trees have large, deep green leaves? 3．When do trees grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit? 4．Trees are important in nature when they grow older, aren’t they? 5．What does the writer suggest us do with trees? （22-23八年级上·上海浦东新·期中）Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题） English has become part of our daily lives. Many people think it’s fashionable to use a few English words when talking in Chinese. However, some people don’t agree with this. Have you experienced this way of speaking? Do you agree with it? Tian Shuhui, a boy, 16 When I watch some TV shows, I sometimes find some people who speak Chinese mixed with some English words. For example, they say some key words like “presentation” or “GDP”. In this case, English words are more suitable than Chinese ones. The use of both English and Chinese shows that speakers have a high understanding of English. Liu Haihang, a boy, 16 I agree with the new way of speaking. On one hand, as the world develops more and more rapidly, we have the duty to connect with each other. English plays a key role in the process. On the other hand, using a few English words in Chinese sentences doesn’t mean that we are not showing respect to our culture. We should take an open attitude to this phenomenon（现象）. Ren Yizhong, a girl, 16 I don’t think it’s good for our culture. Chinese, one of the most ancient languages, reflects our history. The structure and meaning of Chinese words clearly show our country’s values and the intelligence of our ancient people. No matter how fashionable it is, using English words when talking in Chinese is not respectful to such an ancient civilization（文明）. Li Jingyang, a girl, 17 Some may find it fashionable, but I really don’t agree with it. First, we ought to protect our own culture and language. We shouldn’t let English or other foreign languages influence our language. Second, mixing English words into a Chinese sentence doesn’t mean your English is good. The wise choice is to show your respect to Chinese, and speak English only when you have to. 1．Does Tian Shuhui agree with the idea of using English words when speaking Chinese? . 2．According to Liu Haihang, what is good about this new way of speaking? It enables us . 3．What does “phenomenon” stand for in paragraph 3? . 4．Why does Ren Yizhong think using English words when speaking Chinese is bad for our culture? . 5．How can we protect our culture and language according to Li Jingyang? . 6．What do you think of the new way of speaking? Why? . （21-22八年级上·上海徐汇·期中）I grew up in a small town in Italy. One morning when I was 16, Dad told me I could drive him into a village, about 18 miles away, if I took the car to be serviced (保养) at a nearby garage. Thinking that I had just learned to drive, and hardly had the chance to use the car, I agreed happily.        I drove Dad into the village and made sure to pick him up at 4 p.m. Then I drove to a nearby garage and dropped off the car. Because there were still a few hours to be left, I decided to watch movies at a theatre near the garage. But, when the last movie finished, I was two hours late. I was afraid of the result of being late. I thought if Dad knew what I had done, he would never let me drive again. So when I drove up to the place where we had planned to meet and saw Dad waiting patiently on the corner, I told him that I had come as quickly as I could, but the car had needed some special repairs. “I’m terribly sorry that you feel you have to lie to me, Jason.” “What do you mean, Dad? I’m telling the truth.” “I called the garage to ask if there were any problems, and they told me that you had not yet picked up the car. So I know there were no problems with the car. I’m angry not with you but with myself. You see, I’ve failed as a father, so I’m going to walk home now and think carefully about where I have gone wrong all these years.” “But it’s dark, and it’s 18 miles to walk home.” I pleaded (请求) all the way, telling him how sorry I was. But nothing helped. I had to drive behind him for 18 miles. It was one of the most painful moments I had ever had. But it was the best lesson. 1．How old was Jason when the story happened?         . 2．Jason often had the chance to drive the car, didn’t he? . 3．Why did Jason decide to watch movies at a theatre? . 4．What time was it when the last movie finished? . 5．How did Dad punish (惩罚) himself for not doing well enough as a father? . 6．What could Jason learn from his father’s action?（2’） . （21-22八年级上·上海浦东新·期中）Millions of film viewers are excited about the Indian movie Dangal(摔跤吧，爸爸), not just because it’s a well-produced movie. It’s the true story of an Indian father, Mahavir Phogat, who trained his daughters to become the best wrestlers(摔跤选手) of the country when women weren’t even considered to be able of wrestling. Phogat’s inspiration to train his daughters to become wrestlers came from Kamam Malleswari, the first Indian woman to win an Olympic medal. Phogat thought his girls can lead the country in women’s wrestling if he trained them properly. So he gave up his job and taught them all the tricks he knew from his own experience as a wrestler. The girls, Geeta and Babita, started their training by running on the farm every day. Since there were no other female wrestlers in the village, the girls had to compete with the boys. However, the villagers laughed at them and told them to go back home for wrestling was a “male” sport. However, Phogat didn’t listen to any of this. Eventually, he took his girls to the Sports Authority(部门) of India, where they trained under professional coaches. In 2010, Geeta Phogat became the first Indian woman to win a gold medal in the 55 kg freestyle women’s wrestling at the Commonwealth Games. Babita Phogat finished with a silver medal. In 2012, Geeta became the first Indian woman to win a bronze(铜) medal at World Wrestling Championship. Babita won her first gold medal at the 2014 Common wealth Games. The Phogat sisters have shown that women can stand out in any sport if they put their heart and hard work into it. They have also proved that wrestling is not just a man’s sport. It’s a message of encouragement to all the women who have been working hard for their dreams. 1．The film Dangal isn’t based on a true story in India, is it? 2．What did Mahavir Phogat himself do to train his daughters? 3．Why did the villagers laugh at Phogat and his daughters? 4．How have the Phogat sisters proved that women can also be good at sports? 5．How can women stand out in sports? 6．In your opinion, who helped the Phogat sisters make their dreams come true? Give your own reason. （22-23八年级上·上海·期中）When your friend has a bad day, what will you do to comfort him or her? Hugging can help them feel better, Time reported. According to scientists from Carnegie Melon University in the US, hugs can be good for a person’s mood and stress levels. Hugging can increase positive（积极的）feelings and reduce negative（消极的）feelings. Researchers talked to about 400 people. They asked them about their mood, whether they had any conflicts（冲突）with others and if they had a hug that day. They found that when people experienced conflicts but didn’t get any hugs, they reported more negative feelings. But when people had both on the same day, they reported more positive feelings and fewer negative feelings. When you receive a hug, your body releases a certain hormone（荷尔蒙）. This hormone lowers blood pressure, as well as reduces stress and anxiety（焦虑）, Michael Murphy from Carnegie Melon told Time. Of course, hugging is not the only way to comfort others. People sometimes give advice or just try to solve the other person’s problems directly. However, doing these things might make people feel like they’re being criticized（批评）, But physical contact like hugging “makes people feel like they are cared about and have someone who is there for them,” Murphy said. “But that doesn’t make any judgments（about right or wrong）.” 1．According to Time, what can improve someone’s mood? . 2．Did researchers ask about 400 people about their mood? , . 3．When people had both on the same day, they reported ... Here what did “both” refer to（指的是）? Here “both” referred to . 4．What is Michael Murphy? He is . 5．What other ways do you think can comfort others besides hugging? I think . 6．What do you often do to help your friend when he/she has a bad day? . （22-23八年级上·上海黄浦·期中）Answer the questions.(根据短文内容，回答下列问题) Vanessa Tahay is different from the other teenagers (青少年) in her school. Her skin is dark and her voice is thick. But these are the things she is proudest of. Tahay is one of the best poets (诗人) in Los Angeles. But that doesn’t come easily to someone who comes from a small village in Central America. When she first came to school, she was shy and laughed at by others for being short and different. She spent hours after school and on weekends watching the same DVDs: English Without Barriers (障碍). Tahay’s elder brother, Elmer, advised her to join the after-school poetry club. The first time Tahay read the poems in the club, she was shocked. “I wish I could write like that,” she thought to herself. She wrote her first poem about her first year in America. She called it “Invisible (无形的)”. The day she read it in front of the team, she broke down crying. She cried a lot. “I had too much to express (表达) myself,” Tahay said.   Though her English was not good at that time, she kept at it. At first, she wouldn’t tell her friends about her poetry because she worried they’d make fun of her. But with time, her poems changed her. “They gave me pride,” Tahay said. “They told me I’m worth (值得的) something.” 1．What does Tahay take pride in most? 2．Where does Tahay come from? 3．What’s Tahay’s first poem “Invisible” mainly about? 4．What event changed Tahay’s life? 5．Why did Tahay seldom share her poems with her friends at first? 6．What can you learn from this story? （22-23八年级上·上海金山·期中）Read the passage and answer the following questions. （回答问题）： When it comes to the letter grade on your test or homework, you might notice that there is no letter (字母) E. Have you ever thought about why that is so? In the A, B, C, D and F grading system, the first four letters are considered passing grades. An F in this system simply stands for “fail”. The word “fail” happens to start with the letter F, which seems to leave out the letter E. However, E grade actually has been used pretty commonly throughout the history of letter grades in the US. The first college in the US to use a letter grading system like the ones we use today is Mount Holyoke College. In 1897, they began to use the following grading scale: A: 95-100% (excellent)       B: 85-94% (good)      C: 76-84% (fair) D: 75% (barely passed)       E: below 75% (failed) We can see the E grade instead of F grade. Gradually, the letter grading system became more popular throughout the US. Later, many schools decided to change the E grade and into the F grade. There is no evidence (证据) to really support this, but one possible explanation is that teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for “excellent”. Why do we have letter grades? Well, part of the reason is that they made grading simpler. As the 20th century began, school classrooms became bigger. Most teachers at that time thought this new letter grading system was an easy, fair and clear way to grade students. Today, more and more people argue that letter grades don’t fully reflect (反映) student learning. However, as teachers try to improve grading methods, many parents still prefer the letter grades because they are familiar and easy for parents to understand. Although they might not be perfect, the letter grades probably aren’t going away any time soon. 1．It there a letter E in the grading system now? 2．What does an F stand for in the A．B．C．D and F grading system? 3．When was the letter grading system first used in the US college? 4．What is the one of the possible reasons for changing the E grade and into the F grade? 5．How did most teachers like the letter grading system in the 20th century? 6．Do you want to get letter grades or number scores on your test or homework? Why? （19-20八年级上·上海·期中）Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题): As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values(价值)or beliefs. These are Influenced(影响)by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it's not easy to change later in life. Financial(金融)experts say that every one also has their own belief of how to manage their money. According to our different values, experts put us in three kind. They are: the ant, the cricket(蟋蟀) and the snail.(蜗牛) ★ The ant-work first Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don’t care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks(股票基金) with low risk ★ The cricket- fun first The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn't think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance (保险). ★The snail------lives under pressure The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loads（贷款）from the bank in order to buy things such as expensive houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure they can afford((买得起)it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully. 1．Is it easy or difficult to change when the value system is set up? 2．How many groups has the writer divided people into according to different values? 3．Do people like ants care about enjoying the moment now? 4．The cricket works hard for the future, doesn’t he? 5．Why do some people take big long-term loans from the bank? 6．Which group do you belong to?

In fact, it’s not only Chinese universities that are overcrowded with tourists in summer. Cambridge and Oxford in the United Kingdom also come across the same problem. According to the Guardian, the road in front of King’s College, Cambridge is usually filled with tourists, including Chinese schoolchildren in uniforms, before most coach (长途汽车) tours have even arrived. Universities in the United States are also popular among Chinese tourists. Nine out of ten Chinese visitors to the US want to tour a university, according to a survey. So why do Chinese tourists have such a big love for famous universities? One reason is that many parents hope to get their children accepted into a top university in the future, according to People’s Daily. One of the mothers from Hunan Province said while walking her 14-year-old son around the campuses of Tsinghua and Peking universities this summer, “I brought him here to see what top universities look like and let him compare them with those of our hometown. I hope he can learn something and be inspired to come here to study in the future,” she told China Daily. And it’s not just ambitious students and parents you’ll find touring campuses. A tourist of 31, who comes from Xi’an, visited tow famous US universities in 2014. “American universities are much more open than Chinese ones. There are no walls,” he told The New York Times, “I was excited. I felt this urge to have a free exchange of ideas with someone.” 1．When do most tourists start to line up at Tsinghua University? ________________________________________________________________ 2．What problem do Cambridge and Oxford come across? ________________________________________________________________ 3．Do King’s College tourists love to visit famous universities? ________________________________________________________________ 4．How many Chinese visitors to the US want to tour a university? ________________________________________________________________ 5．Why do Chinese tourists love to visit famous university? ________________________________________________________________ 6．Do you want to visit the famous universities?

Lights are waving. Bed is shaking. Everything is moving. What’s going on? It’s an earthquake. Earthquakes are horrible disasters (灾难) and some of them are destructive (毁灭性的). The top layer of the earth is made up of huge pieces of rock. They move past each other all the time along fault lines (裂纹线). But sometimes two pieces get stuck together. When they finally move away from each other, they move suddenly. And this makes the land above them shake. This is the most common cause of earthquakes. During a small earthquake, you will feel a little shaking. But during a strong one, you will be thrown about. A strong earthquake is very horrible. Cracks will appear on the ground and windows and doors will break. Buildings will even fall down. So watch out! If an earthquake happens at sea, it can make big waves called “tsunamis” (海啸). When these waves reach land, they can destroy villages. Earthquakes are measured (测量) on a scale (等级) of 0-9. It is called the Richter scale. A size 9 earthquake is the strongest and most dangerous. Since 1900, more than two million people have died in earthquakes. In 1976, a size 7.8 earthquake hit Tangshan, China. It killed more than 240,000 people! Many earthquakes happened in China, so it is important for us to know what to do when an earthquake hits. Here are some tips on how to stay safe in an earthquake. Indoors ◆ Hide under a desk or bed. Stay away from windows and anything that could fall on you. ◆ Do not get into a lift during an earthquake! When an earthquake has ended, stay under the desk until it is really safe to get up. ◆ Open a window and get out of the building quickly if the gas line in your house is broke. Outdoors ◆ Move away from buildings and street lights. ◆ Do not run outside if you are in a shop and far from the door. ◆ Make sure you wear shoes after an earthquake. There may be broken glass on the ground. 1．What will happen when an earthquake happens at sea? ______________________________________________________ 2．How are earthquakes measured? ______________________________________________________ 3．Where should we hide when an earthquake happens if we are at home? ______________________________________________________ 4．We don’t need to wear shoes after an earthquake, do we? ______________________________________________________ 5．Why should we move away from buildings and street lights when an earthquake happens? ______________________________________________________ 6．According to the passage, what is the common cause of an earthquake? ______________________________________________________ （22-23八年级上·上海·期中）Answer the questions: It was raining. I went into a café and asked for a coffee. While I was waiting for my drink, I realized there were other people in the place, but I sensed loneliness (孤独). I saw their bodies, but I could not feel their minds because their minds belonged to the Net. I stood up and walked between the tables. When I came to the biggest computer, I saw a thin, small man sitting in front of it. “I’m Steve,” he finally answered after I asked him several times what his name was. “I cannot talk with you. I’m busy,” he said. He was chatting online and, at the same time, he was playing a computer game. I was surprised. Why didn’t Steve want to talk with me? I tried again to speak to the computer geek (怪人), but not a word came out of his mouth. I touched his shoulder, but no reaction (反应). I was unhappy and then put my hand in front of the monitor, and he started to shout, “Leave me alone!” I took a few steps back, wondering if all those people in the café were looking at me. I raised my head, and saw nobody showed any interest. At that moment, I realized that the people there were having a nice conversation with their machines, not with people. They were more interested in having a relationship with the computer, especially Steve. I would not want to imagine the future of human beings if they preferred sharing their lives with machines instead of with people. I was worried and sank in my thoughts. I did not even realize that the coffee was bad, just as Steve did not notice there was a person next to him. 1．Why couldn’t the writer feel the people’s minds in the café?   2．When did the writer see a thin and small man?   3．How many things did the thin and small man do at the same time?   4．What happened when the writer put his hand in front of the monitor?   5．What do you think the writer was worried about? 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 期中复习之任务型阅读15篇 (上海期中真题) （23-24八年级上·上海杨浦·期中）Read the passage and answer the following questions.（根据短文内容回答下列问题） What is it like being a film star? What’s it like in front of the camera? Students from Steamboat Spring Middle School in the US could tell you exactly what it’s like. They recently got a taste of the life of a star. A local movie company wanted to produce a film. All the actors in this film were to be students. Fourteen students were chosen from the school. The film, called Ruby vs Wolfgang, was based on the story of Little Red Riding Hood (《小红帽》). It came with a twist (改变), however—the story was told from the perspective (看法) of the wolf. Zoe Walsh, a seventh-grader, signed up to do behind-the-scenes work. But she soon found herself in front of the camera. She played a strange middle school student in the film. “It’s just for fun,” she told the Steamboat Today. “Just pretending that you’re someone else.” But there were also difficulties. It was very cold during shooting. Students had to put up with snow and icy wind. Lack (缺乏) of experience was another problem.

The reduction woodcut is a kind of woodcut that uses one piece of wood to make a colorful artwork. The artist cuts and prints different layers (层) in order on the same piece of wood. Famous for its colors, the reduction woodcut was listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in Pu’er, Yunnan, in 2009. Master’s story Leng Guangmian, 40, is a reduction woodcut artist and he has learnt the art for over 20 years. Leng started learning the art at university in 2003. He said that making reduction woodcut prints is just like an adventure. “Every time we cut a pattern on the block (木块) and then print, we never know what it will be like in the end.” As he sees beautiful patterns layer by layer, he only gets more excited, added Leng. But finishing such work is not easy. He said that before cutting, he needs to plan for the whole print and choose colors for different layers. A big print usually takes months to finish. Leng hopes his artwork shows not only excellent woodcutting skills but also local culture and life. “For my works, there are two series: the Tea Horse Road (茶马古道), since Pu’er is one of the starting points of that road; and disappearing villages,” Leng said. “Many old villages in Pu’er need rebuilding because of safety reasons, so I want to make people remember their beauty before they are gone.” 1．Are reduction woodcuts different from traditional woodcut prints in color? 2．How long has Leng Guangmian learned the reduction woodcut? 3．How does Leng feel when he makes a reduction wood print with patterns layer by layer? 4．Complete the steps in making a reduction woodcut print. 1) 2) Choose colors for different layers. 3) 4) Print. 5．What does Leng hope his artworks show? 6．Do you want to learn reduction woodcut skill?

They keep our air clean, reduce(减少) noise pollution, improve water quality and provide food and building materials. Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. At 1 to 3 years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns(刺) to warn animals not to go near. Most young trees have large, deep green leaves so that they can catch enough sunlight and change it into their food and energy. When trees are 4 years old, they begin to grow every rapidly and become strong enough to face challenges later in life. At the age of 15, trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit. It is not until the tree is 20 to 25 years old that it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. Not only does the adult tree give us shade, oxygen and natural beauty; it is also a great place for a tree house, or a place for us to nap, read a book, listen to music or sip tea. If the adult tree receives proper care, it will continue to live healthily for many years. Gradually(渐渐地), trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have their important place in nature. When a tree becomes hollow or part of it becomes dead, it provides a home to small animals and is a source of food for many other animals. In many ways, the life of a tree is similar to our own life experience. When looking at the life of a tree, we learn that each period of life brings its own form of joy and challenge. Enjoy every minute of it and take care of the trees. 1．How do young trees protect themselves? 2．Do all young trees have large, deep green leaves? 3．When do trees grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit? 4．Trees are important in nature when they grow older, aren’t they? 5．What does the writer suggest us do with trees? 【答案】1．They grow thorns. 2．No, they don’t. 3．At the age of 15. 4．Yes, they are. 5．We should enjoy every minute of it and take care of the trees. 【导语】本文主要介绍了树木从小到大的生长过程以及对人类的贡献。 1．根据“For example, many trees grow thorns(刺) to warn animals not to go near.”可知，许多树长荆棘来保护自己，故填They grow thorns. 2．根据“Most young trees have large, deep green leaves ”可知，大多数幼树都有深绿色的大叶子，而不是所有。故填No, they don’t. 3．根据“At the age of 15, trees become young adults.

At this time, they still have their important place in nature. ”可知，树木长大后在自然界中还是很重要，故填Yes, they are. 5．根据“Enjoy every minute of it and take care of the trees.”可知，我们应该享受它的每一分钟，爱护树木。故填We should enjoy every minute of it and take care of the trees. （22-23八年级上·上海浦东新·期中）Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题） English has become part of our daily lives. Many people think it’s fashionable to use a few English words when talking in Chinese. However, some people don’t agree with this. Have you experienced this way of speaking? Do you agree with it? Tian Shuhui, a boy, 16 When I watch some TV shows, I sometimes find some people who speak Chinese mixed with some English words. For example, they say some key words like “presentation” or “GDP”. In this case, English words are more suitable than Chinese ones. The use of both English and Chinese shows that speakers have a high understanding of English. Liu Haihang, a boy, 16 I agree with the new way of speaking. On one hand, as the world develops more and more rapidly, we have the duty to connect with each other. English plays a key role in the process. On the other hand, using a few English words in Chinese sentences doesn’t mean that we are not showing respect to our culture. We should take an open attitude to this phenomenon（现象）. Ren Yizhong, a girl, 16 I don’t think it’s good for our culture. Chinese, one of the most ancient languages, reflects our history. The structure and meaning of Chinese words clearly show our country’s values and the intelligence of our ancient people. No matter how fashionable it is, using English words when talking in Chinese is not respectful to such an ancient civilization（文明）. Li Jingyang, a girl, 17 Some may find it fashionable, but I really don’t agree with it. First, we ought to protect our own culture and language. We shouldn’t let English or other foreign languages influence our language. Second, mixing English words into a Chinese sentence doesn’t mean your English is good. The wise choice is to show your respect to Chinese, and speak English only when you have to. 1．Does Tian Shuhui agree with the idea of using English words when speaking Chinese? . 2．According to Liu Haihang, what is good about this new way of speaking? It enables us . 3．What does “phenomenon” stand for in paragraph 3? . 4．Why does Ren Yizhong think using English words when speaking Chinese is bad for our culture? . 5．How can we protect our culture and language according to Li Jingyang? . 6．What do you think of the new way of speaking? Why? . 【答案】1．Yes, he does 2．to connect with each other 3．Using a few English words in Chinese sentences 4．Because the structure and meaning of Chinese words clearly show our country’s values and the intelligence of our ancient people 5．By showing our respect to our Chinese and speaking English when we have to 6．I think it is nice because it makes us have a good command of English words 【导语】本文介绍了四位同学发表了自己对“在用汉语交谈时使用几个英语单词”这一现象的不同看法。 1．根据“In this case, English words are more suitable than Chinese ones. The use of both English and Chinese shows that speakers have a high understanding of English.”可知，在这种情况下，英语单词比汉语单词更合适。英语和汉语的使用表明说话者对英语有很高的理解。由此可知，Tian Shuhui同意在说汉语时使用英语单词，应作肯定回答。根据“Tian Shuhui, a boy”可知，Tian Shuhui是一个男孩，人称代词应用he。故填Yes, he does。 2．根据“On one hand, as the world develops more and more rapidly, we have the duty to connect with each other.”可知，一方面，随着世界发展越来越快，我们有责任相互联系。由此可知，这种新的说话方式的好处之一是它能让我们相互联系。enable sb to do sth表示“让某人能做某事”。故填to connect with each other。 3．根据“On the other hand, using a few English words in Chinese sentences doesn’t mean that we are not showing respect to our culture. We should take an open attitude to this phenomenon（现象）.”可知，另一方面，在汉语句子中使用几个英语单词并不意味着我们不尊重我们的文化。我们应该对这种现象持开放态度。因此phenomenon一词指代using a few English words in Chinese sentences“在汉语句子中使用几个英语单词”。故填Using a few English words in Chinese sentences。 4．根据“The structure and meaning of Chinese words clearly show our country’s values and the intelligence of our ancient people.”可知，汉语单词的结构和含义清楚地显示了我们国家的价值观和我们古人的智慧。这是Ren Yizhong认为说中文时使用英语单词对我们的文化有害的原因之一。故填Because the structure and meaning of Chinese words clearly show our country’s values and the intelligence of our ancient people。 5．根据“The wise choice is to show your respect to Chinese, and speak English only when you have to.”可知，她认为，明智的选择是尊重中文，只有在必要的时候才说英语。故填By showing our respect to our Chinese and speaking English when we have to。 6．该题为开放性题目，答案不唯一。可以这样回答：我认为这很好，因为它使我们能够很好地掌握英语单词。故填I think it is nice because it makes us have a good command of English words。 （21-22八年级上·上海徐汇·期中）I grew up in a small town in Italy. One morning when I was 16, Dad told me I could drive him into a village, about 18 miles away, if I took the car to be serviced (保养) at a nearby garage. Thinking that I had just learned to drive, and hardly had the chance to use the car, I agreed happily.        I drove Dad into the village and made sure to pick him up at 4 p.m. Then I drove to a nearby garage and dropped off the car. Because there were still a few hours to be left, I decided to watch movies at a theatre near the garage. But, when the last movie finished, I was two hours late. I was afraid of the result of being late. I thought if Dad knew what I had done, he would never let me drive again. So when I drove up to the place where we had planned to meet and saw Dad waiting patiently on the corner, I told him that I had come as quickly as I could, but the car had needed some special repairs. “I’m terribly sorry that you feel you have to lie to me, Jason.” “What do you mean, Dad? I’m telling the truth.” “I called the garage to ask if there were any problems, and they told me that you had not yet picked up the car. So I know there were no problems with the car. I’m angry not with you but with myself. You see, I’ve failed as a father, so I’m going to walk home now and think carefully about where I have gone wrong all these years.” “But it’s dark, and it’s 18 miles to walk home.” I pleaded (请求) all the way, telling him how sorry I was. But nothing helped. I had to drive behind him for 18 miles. It was one of the most painful moments I had ever had. But it was the best lesson. 1．How old was Jason when the story happened?         . 2．Jason often had the chance to drive the car, didn’t he? . 3．Why did Jason decide to watch movies at a theatre? . 4．What time was it when the last movie finished? . 5．How did Dad punish (惩罚) himself for not doing well enough as a father? . 6．What could Jason learn from his father’s action?（2’） . 【答案】1．16/Sixteen/He was 16 2．No, he didn’t 3．Because there were still a few hours to be left 4．It was 6 p.m. 5．By walking 18 miles home./He walked 18 miles home 6．One should be brave to admit that he has done something wrong and be responsible for the possible bad result./One  should  be  honest  and  never  tell  lies (Any reasonable answer is acceptable.) 【分析】本文是记叙文，短文讲述作者帮父亲去保养车时去看了电影，由于接父亲迟到而向父亲撒谎，最后父亲因为没有教育好儿子而自我惩罚的故事，这让作者感到是自己最痛苦的时刻并且是最好的教训。 1．根据第一段“One morning when I was 16, Dad told me I could drive him into a village, about 18 miles away, if I took the car to be serviced at a nearly garage”可知，故事发生时作者16岁，故填16/Sixteen/He was 16。 2．根据第一段“Thinking that I had just learned to drive, and hardly had the chance to use the car, I agreed happily”，可知杰森很少有机会开车，需作否定回答，故填No, he didn’t。 3．根据第二段“Because there were still a few hours to be left, I decided to watch movies at a theatre near the garage”，可知他打算看电影是因为还有几个小时空闲，故填Because there were still a few hours to be left。 4．根据第二段“But, when the last movie finished, I was two hours late”，结合上文提到在下午4点接父亲，可知最后一部电影结束的时候是下午六点，故填It was 6 p.m.。 5．根据父亲的话“I’ve failed as a father, so I’m going to walk home now and think carefully about where I have gone wrong all these years”，结合后文提到作者跟在后面开了18英里，可知父亲通过走18英里路回家来惩罚自己，故填By walking 18 miles home/He walked 18 miles home。 6．通读全文，作者恳请父亲原谅，可是父亲坚持自我惩罚走了18英里路，这让作者十分痛苦，体会到“it was the best lesson”是自己最好的教训。可推断作者从父亲的行为中学到了为人要诚实，要敢于对做过的事情负责，故填One should be brave to admit that he has done something wrong and be responsible for the possible bad result/One should be honest and never tell lies。 （21-22八年级上·上海浦东新·期中）Millions of film viewers are excited about the Indian movie Dangal(摔跤吧，爸爸), not just because it’s a well-produced movie. It’s the true story of an Indian father, Mahavir Phogat, who trained his daughters to become the best wrestlers(摔跤选手) of the country when women weren’t even considered to be able of wrestling. Phogat’s inspiration to train his daughters to become wrestlers came from Kamam Malleswari, the first Indian woman to win an Olympic medal.

Hugging can help them feel better, Time reported. According to scientists from Carnegie Melon University in the US, hugs can be good for a person’s mood and stress levels. Hugging can increase positive（积极的）feelings and reduce negative（消极的）feelings. Researchers talked to about 400 people. They asked them about their mood, whether they had any conflicts（冲突）with others and if they had a hug that day. They found that when people experienced conflicts but didn’t get any hugs, they reported more negative feelings. But when people had both on the same day, they reported more positive feelings and fewer negative feelings. When you receive a hug, your body releases a certain hormone（荷尔蒙）. This hormone lowers blood pressure, as well as reduces stress and anxiety（焦虑）, Michael Murphy from Carnegie Melon told Time. Of course, hugging is not the only way to comfort others. People sometimes give advice or just try to solve the other person’s problems directly. However, doing these things might make people feel like they’re being criticized（批评）, But physical contact like hugging “makes people feel like they are cared about and have someone who is there for them,” Murphy said. “But that doesn’t make any judgments（about right or wrong）.” 1．According to Time, what can improve someone’s mood? . 2．Did researchers ask about 400 people about their mood? , . 3．When people had both on the same day, they reported ... Here what did “both” refer to（指的是）? Here “both” referred to . 4．What is Michael Murphy? He is . 5．What other ways do you think can comfort others besides hugging? I think . 6．What do you often do to help your friend when he/she has a bad day? . 【答案】207．Hugs can improve someone’s mood. 208． Yes they did. 209．（having）conflicts and（getting）hugs. 210．a scientist（form Carnegie Mellon University in the US）. 211．giving advice or trying to solve the other person’s problems directly 212．I often have a talk with him. /I often go out with him./I often hear him/her telling his trouble ... 【分析】这篇短文主要讲述了拥抱对人的情绪和压力水平都有好处。拥抱可以增加积极的感觉，减少消极的感觉。 1．题干“根据时间，什么能改善一个人的情绪？”根据文中“ hugs can be good for a person’s mood and stress levels.”可知，拥抱可以改善某人的情绪。故答案为Hugs can improve someone’s mood. 2．题干“研究人员询问了大约400人的情绪吗？”根据文中“Researchers talked to about 400 people.”可知，这里是做肯定回答。Yes, they did是的，他们是。根据题意，故答案为(1). Yes    (2). they did. 3．根据文中“They found that when people experienced conflicts but didn’t get any hugs, they reported more negative feelings. But when people had both on the same day, they reported more positive feelings and fewer negative feelings.”他们发现，当人们经历冲突但没有得到拥抱时，他们会报告更多的负面情绪。但当人们在同一天同时拥有这两种情绪时，他们报告的积极情绪更多，消极情绪更少。。可知这里的both指的是“（有）冲突和（得到）拥抱。”。故答案为（having）conflicts and（getting）hugs. 4．题干“Michael Murphy是做什么的？”根据文中“According to scientists from Carnegie Melon University in the US”可知，Michael Murphy是美国卡内基梅隆大学的科学家。故答案为a scientist（form Carnegie Mellon University in the US）. 5．题干“除了拥抱，你认为还有什么方法可以安慰别人？”根据文中“Of course, hugging is not the only way to comfort others. People sometimes give advice or just try to solve he other person’s problems directly.”可知，当然，拥抱并不是安慰别人的唯一方式。人们有时给别人提建议或尝试直接解决别人的问题。故答案为giving advice or trying to solve the other person’s problems directly. 6．题干“你经常做什么来帮助你的朋友，当他/她有一个糟糕的一天？”我经常和他交谈；和他一块出去；听他讲他的麻烦。故答案为I often have a talk with him. /I often go out with him./I often hear him/her telling his trouble .. （22-23八年级上·上海黄浦·期中）Answer the questions.(根据短文内容，回答下列问题) Vanessa Tahay is different from the other teenagers (青少年) in her school.

Have you ever thought about why that is so? In the A, B, C, D and F grading system, the first four letters are considered passing grades. An F in this system simply stands for “fail”. The word “fail” happens to start with the letter F, which seems to leave out the letter E. However, E grade actually has been used pretty commonly throughout the history of letter grades in the US. The first college in the US to use a letter grading system like the ones we use today is Mount Holyoke College. In 1897, they began to use the following grading scale: A: 95-100% (excellent)       B: 85-94% (good)      C: 76-84% (fair) D: 75% (barely passed)       E: below 75% (failed) We can see the E grade instead of F grade. Gradually, the letter grading system became more popular throughout the US. Later, many schools decided to change the E grade and into the F grade. There is no evidence (证据) to really support this, but one possible explanation is that teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for “excellent”. Why do we have letter grades? Well, part of the reason is that they made grading simpler. As the 20th century began, school classrooms became bigger. Most teachers at that time thought this new letter grading system was an easy, fair and clear way to grade students. Today, more and more people argue that letter grades don’t fully reflect (反映) student learning. However, as teachers try to improve grading methods, many parents still prefer the letter grades because they are familiar and easy for parents to understand. Although they might not be perfect, the letter grades probably aren’t going away any time soon. 1．It there a letter E in the grading system now? 2．What does an F stand for in the A．B．C．D and F grading system? 3．When was the letter grading system first used in the US college? 4．What is the one of the possible reasons for changing the E grade and into the F grade? 5．How did most teachers like the letter grading system in the 20th century? 6．Do you want to get letter grades or number scores on your test or homework? Why? 【答案】1．No, there isn’t. 2．It stands for “fail”. 3．In 1897. 4．Teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for “excellent”. 5．They thought it was an easy, fair and clear way to grade students. 6．I want to get letter grades. Because they are easy for my parents to understand. / I want to get number scores. Because they can fully reflect my learning. I want to get neither. Because neither of them is perfect. I want to make them better. 【分析】本文主要讲了判定测试或作业的字母等级方法，详细地介绍了字母代表的含义，以及人们对这种判定方法的看法等。 1．题干问：现在评分系统里有E吗？根据文中“When it comes to the letter grade on your test or homework, you might notice that there is no letter E.”可知，现在评分系统里没有E，故填No, there isn't. 2．题干问：F在A.B.C.D和F评分系统里代表什么？根据文中“An F in this system simply stands for ‘fail’.”可知，F代表不及格，故填It stands for “fail”. 3．题干问：美国大学什么时候开始使用字母评分系统？根据文中“In 1897, they began to use the following grading scale.”可知，是在1897年，故填In 1897. 4．题干问：把E级改为F级什么是可能的原因之一？根据文中“but one possible explanation is that teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for ‘excellent’.”可知老师们担心一些学生和家长会把E误认为“优秀”，故填Teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for “excellent”. 5．题干问：大多数老师觉得20世纪的字母评分系统怎么样？根据文中“Most teachers at that time thought this new letter grading system was an easy, fair and clear way to grade students.”可知，大多数老师认为这种新的字母评分系统是一种简单、公平、清晰的学生评分方法，故填They thought it was an easy, fair and clear way to grade students. 6．题干问：你想在考试或家庭作业中得到字母分数还是数字分数？本题属于开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案：I want to get letter grades. Because they are easy for my parents to understand. / I want to get number scores. Because they can fully reflect my learning./ I want to get neither. Because neither of them is perfect. I want to make them better. 【点睛】做题时首先对原文材料迅速浏览，掌握全文的主旨大意。其次，细读题材，各个击破。掌握全文的大意之后，细读材料后的问题，弄清每题要求后带着问题再回到原文中去寻找，捕获有关信息。 （19-20八年级上·上海·期中）Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题): As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values(价值)or beliefs. These are Influenced(影响)by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it's not easy to change later in life. Financial(金融)experts say that every one also has their own belief of how to manage their money. According to our different values, experts put us in three kind. They are: the ant, the cricket(蟋蟀) and the snail.(蜗牛) ★ The ant-work first Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don’t care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks(股票基金) with low risk ★ The cricket- fun first The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn't think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance (保险). ★The snail------lives under pressure The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loads（贷款）from the bank in order to buy things such as expensive houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure they can afford((买得起)it. This can cause problems in the future.

In fact, it’s not only Chinese universities that are overcrowded with tourists in summer. Cambridge and Oxford in the United Kingdom also come across the same problem. According to the Guardian, the road in front of King’s College, Cambridge is usually filled with tourists, including Chinese schoolchildren in uniforms, before most coach (长途汽车) tours have even arrived. Universities in the United States are also popular among Chinese tourists. Nine out of ten Chinese visitors to the US want to tour a university, according to a survey. So why do Chinese tourists have such a big love for famous universities? One reason is that many parents hope to get their children accepted into a top university in the future, according to People’s Daily. One of the mothers from Hunan Province said while walking her 14-year-old son around the campuses of Tsinghua and Peking universities this summer, “I brought him here to see what top universities look like and let him compare them with those of our hometown. I hope he can learn something and be inspired to come here to study in the future,” she told China Daily. And it’s not just ambitious students and parents you’ll find touring campuses.

Lights are waving. Bed is shaking. Everything is moving. What’s going on? It’s an earthquake. Earthquakes are horrible disasters (灾难) and some of them are destructive (毁灭性的). The top layer of the earth is made up of huge pieces of rock. They move past each other all the time along fault lines (裂纹线). But sometimes two pieces get stuck together. When they finally move away from each other, they move suddenly. And this makes the land above them shake. This is the most common cause of earthquakes. During a small earthquake, you will feel a little shaking. But during a strong one, you will be thrown about. A strong earthquake is very horrible. Cracks will appear on the ground and windows and doors will break. Buildings will even fall down. So watch out! If an earthquake happens at sea, it can make big waves called “tsunamis” (海啸). When these waves reach land, they can destroy villages. Earthquakes are measured (测量) on a scale (等级) of 0-9. It is called the Richter scale. A size 9 earthquake is the strongest and most dangerous. Since 1900, more than two million people have died in earthquakes. In 1976, a size 7.8 earthquake hit Tangshan, China. It killed more than 240,000 people! Many earthquakes happened in China, so it is important for us to know what to do when an earthquake hits. Here are some tips on how to stay safe in an earthquake. Indoors ◆ Hide under a desk or bed. Stay away from windows and anything that could fall on you. ◆ Do not get into a lift during an earthquake! When an earthquake has ended, stay under the desk until it is really safe to get up. ◆ Open a window and get out of the building quickly if the gas line in your house is broke. Outdoors ◆ Move away from buildings and street lights. ◆ Do not run outside if you are in a shop and far from the door. ◆ Make sure you wear shoes after an earthquake. There may be broken glass on the ground. 1．What will happen when an earthquake happens at sea? ______________________________________________________ 2．How are earthquakes measured? ______________________________________________________ 3．Where should we hide when an earthquake happens if we are at home? ______________________________________________________ 4．We don’t need to wear shoes after an earthquake, do we? ______________________________________________________ 5．Why should we move away from buildings and street lights when an earthquake happens? ______________________________________________________ 6．According to the passage, what is the common cause of an earthquake? ______________________________________________________ 【答案】1．It can make big waves called “tsunamis” (海啸). 2．Earthquakes are measured  on a scale (等级) of 0-9. 3．Hide under a desk or bed 4．Yes, we do 5．They are dangerous. 6．The huge pieces of rock move suddenly. 【分析】这篇短文主要讲述了如何在地震中保持安全。 1．题干“当海上发生地震时会发生什么？”根据文中 If an earthquake happens at sea, it can make big waves called “tsunamis” (海啸).可知， 当这些海浪到达陆地时，它们会摧毁村庄。故填It can make big waves called “tsunamis” (海啸). 2．题干“如何测量地震？”根据文中 Earthquakes are measured (测量) on a scale (等级) of 0-9.可知答案，故填Earthquakes are measured  on a scale (等级) of 0-9.。 3．题干“如果我们在家，地震发生时我们应该躲在哪里？” 根据文中Hide under a desk or bed.可知躲藏在桌子或床底下。故填Hide under a desk or bed。 4．题干“地震后我们不需要穿鞋子，是吗？” 根据文中Make sure you wear shoes after an earthquake. There may be broken glass on the ground.可知，这里是做否定回答，Yes, We do，这里是说不，我需要穿鞋子；故填Yes, We do。 5．题干“地震发生时，我们为什么要远离建筑物和路灯？”在地震中我们要远离建筑物和路灯，他们可能会倒塌，是危险的。故填They are dangerous. 6．题干“根据文章，造成地震的共同原因是什么？” 根据文中 When they finally move away from each other, they move suddenly. And this makes the land above them shake. This is the most common cause of earthquakes.可知，地球的顶层是由大块岩石构成的它们一直沿着断层线移动但有时两块粘在一起当它们最终离开彼此时，它们突然移动这就使它们以上的地面震动，这是地震最常见的原因。故填The huge pieces of rock move suddenly.。 （22-23八年级上·上海·期中）Answer the questions: It was raining. I went into a café and asked for a coffee. While I was waiting for my drink, I realized there were other people in the place, but I sensed loneliness (孤独). I saw their bodies, but I could not feel their minds because their minds belonged to the Net. I stood up and walked between the tables. When I came to the biggest computer, I saw a thin, small man sitting in front of it. “I’m Steve,” he finally answered after I asked him several times what his name was. “I cannot talk with you. I’m busy,” he said. He was chatting online and, at the same time, he was playing a computer game. I was surprised. Why didn’t Steve want to talk with me? I tried again to speak to the computer geek (怪人), but not a word came out of his mouth. I touched his shoulder, but no reaction (反应). I was unhappy and then put my hand in front of the monitor, and he started to shout, “Leave me alone!” I took a few steps back, wondering if all those people in the café were looking at me. I raised my head, and saw nobody showed any interest. At that moment, I realized that the people there were having a nice conversation with their machines, not with people. They were more interested in having a relationship with the computer, especially Steve. I would not want to imagine the future of human beings if they preferred sharing their lives with machines instead of with people. I was worried and sank in my thoughts. I did not even realize that the coffee was bad, just as Steve did not notice there was a person next to him. 1．Why couldn’t the writer feel the people’s minds in the café?   2．When did the writer see a thin and small man?   3．How many things did the thin and small man do at the same time?   4．What happened when the writer put his hand in front of the monitor?   5．What do you think the writer was worried about? 【答案】1．Because their minds belonged to the Net. 2．When he came to the biggest computer. 3．Two. 4．He started to shout, “Leave me alone!” 5．He was worried about that people would share their lives with machines instead of with people.  (Any reasonable answer can be accepted.) 【分析】文章大意：本文主要讲述了作者在咖啡馆里遇到的故事。作者发现现实社会中很多人沉迷于网络，，他们缺少与人交流，作者通过亲身体验身边的人都忙于网络的事情，让他陷入深思中，如果一直这样下去，未来的世界会是什么样的？ 1．细节理解题。根据文中的信息I saw their bodies, but I could not feel their minds because their minds belonged to the Net.可知，作者在咖啡馆里感受不到人们的思想，是因为他们的思想属于网络，故答案为Because their minds belonged to the Net。 2．细节理解题。根据文中的信息When I came to the biggest computer, I saw a thin, small man sitting in front of it.可知，当作者来到最大的电脑前时，看到一个又瘦又小的男人，故答案为When he came to the biggest computer。 3．细节理解题。根据文中的信息He was chatting online and, at the same time, he was playing a computer game. 他在网上聊天，同时在玩电脑游戏。由此可知，这个瘦小的男人同时做了两件事情，故答案为Two。 4．细节理解题。根据文中的信息then put my hand in front of the monitor, and he started to shout, “Leave me alone!”可知，当作者把手放在监视器前面时，他开始大叫：“离我远点!”故答案为He started to shout, “Leave me alone!” 5．推理判断题。题意：你认为作者在担心什么？根据文中的信息I would not want to imagine the future of human beings if they preferred sharing their lives with machines instead of with people.可知，作者担心人们会与机器共享生活，而不是与人共享生活，故答案可以为：He was worried about that people would share their lives with machines instead of with people。 本题为开放性试题，学生可以根据自己的理解来做答，只要表述正确，言之有理且无表达错误即可。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
