A few years ago, Lisa Turnbull was in her home. She made a cake and left it on the kitchen table. When she opened the kitchen window to help the cake cool more quickly, she didn’t notice lots of bees flying around in her back garden. A few minutes later, Lisa heard a loud noise coming from her kitchen. She opened the door and saw a group of bees all over her kitchen table. The bees left their old home and were looking for a new one. It seemed that the queen bee (蜂王) liked the cake and stopped on it. About 15,000 others followed her. Luckily, Lisa knew a bit about bees so she knew they weren’t dangerous. She told herself she didn’t need to be afraid. She calmly closed the door and called a beekeeper to take the bees away. Last summer, the same thing happened to John Norton. He was driving home and he found thousands of bees following his car. He then stopped his car, hoping that they would fly on and leave him. However, they landed on the back of it and stayed there. Feeling very frightened, John called a beekeeper. They found that the queen bee flew into the boot (后备箱) of the car while John was putting some shopping into it. When he closed the boot, she was inside. So when he drove off, the rest of the bees followed. The beekeeper spent over three hours removing all the bees. 1．Why did Lisa Turnbull open the kitchen window? 2．What were the bees doing in Lisa Turnbull’s kitchen? 3．How many bees were in Lisa Turnbull’s kitchen? 4．How did John Norton feel when he found thousands of bees following his car? 5．How long did the beekeeper spend removing all the bees in John Norton’s car? （23-24八年级上·江苏南京·期末） Yeshe Dolkar still remembers the moment she saw snow leopards at Sanjiangyuan National Nature Reserve a year ago. On that cold snowy day, the 15-year-old Yeshe Dolkar living in Nangqen County, Qinghai was heading down a mountaintop with her family. Suddenly, they saw two snow leopards near the headwaters of the Lancang River. “They have blue-green eyes and long tails. The fur is gray-white with black spots all over the body. “They look so cool!” said Yeshe Dolkar. Since the mid-20th century, the area of snow, grasslands and lakes in Sanjiangyuan has become smaller because of climate change and human activities. Many wild animals living in the area are in danger of extinction (灭绝). On Jan 24, 2003, China set up Sanjiangyuan National Nature Reserve to better protect the area and the wildlife there. Last year was the 20th anniversary of the setup of the reserve. In these years, the population (种群) of wild animals has been rising. More than 70,000 Tibetan antelopes now live there. And more than 1,000 snow leopards can be found in the area. Local people have improved (提高) their understanding about environmental protection and have tried hard to look after the environment in Sanjiangyuan over the years. They used to carry food with them in plastic bags and left the bags behind. But now things have changed. According to Palden Wangchuk, a 22-year-old young man, local people are regularly called on to pick up waste (废物) on the grasslands. “People would also take their food waste down the mountains. The grasslands have put on a new look,” he said. 1．What was the weather like when Yeshe Dolkar saw snow leopards a year ago? 2．When did China set up Sanjiangyuan National Nature Reserve? 3．How does the writer show the change of the population of wild animals? 4．What are local people called on to do on the grasslands? 5．What does the writer mainly want to tell us through this passage? （23-24八年级上·江苏扬州·期末）Clive is a lovely dog.

But according to a report, humans bring a far greater danger to sharks than they do to us. Shark attacks (攻击) do happen, however they are not very often. On the other hand, every hour, about 11,000 sharks are killed by humans. It is time that we should take action to stop many kinds of sharks from dying out. Why should we save sharks? Because killing sharks is a problem for the whole world. Sharks are on the top of food chain. They eat other species (物种), but few species eat them. As sharks die off, the number of other species will increase. This, in turn, means the food that other species eat will become less. So how can you help save sharks? Don’t use shark products (产品). Pet foods, energy drinks, leather products can be made from shark parts. And shark meat is sold around the world. Most sharks killed worldwide are hunted for their fins (鳍), which are used to make shark fin soup. The process is unfriendly and cruel. Fishermen often cut the shark’s fins off and then drop the shark back into the water, still alive. Sharks breathe by swimming. So if a shark can’t swim with its fin, it will die. If you eat seafood, make sure the food you eat comes from fisheries (渔场) that care for the sea. Many organizations try to protect sharks. They give us advice on how to keep them alive. No buying, no killing! Maybe that is the best way to save sharks. 1．How many sharks are killed per hour? 2．What will happen, if sharks die off? 3．Can sharks live without fins? Why? 4．What do the organizations do to protect sharks? 5．What can we do to protect sharks? （22-23八年级上·江苏宿迁·期末）阅读表达：阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Humans (人类) need bees to help grow plants. When these insects visit flowers, they collect pollen (花粉). Without bees moving pollen from one flower to another, many plants can’t grow fruits. In recent years, scientists have noticed a sharp drop in bee numbers. What has happened? In brief (简而言之), the insects have lost their food source. As humans have taken over more and more land for cities, natural areas have disappeared. Take England for example. It has lost about 97 percent of its wildflower fields since World War II. To help out bees, Britain is building “bee bus stops” across the country. These bus stops look ordinary. But there’s a small garden on each of their roofs (顶部). The gardens are full of flowers. They attract (吸引) bees. Because the soil for these gardens is heavy, gardeners have to take care of them twice a year. Other than that, not much is needed to keep the gardens going. The idea of bee bus stops isn’t new. Several years ago, the Netherlands (荷兰) turned more than 300 of its bus stops into bee bus stops. This project is working. Bee numbers have grown since these bus stops were put into place, according to research. This is certainly good news for the British government. Please answer each question with no more than 10 words. (每题答案不超过10个词) 1．Why can’t many plants grow fruits? 2．Why is there a sharp drop in bee numbers? 3．Where are small gardens built at these bee bus stops in Britain? 4．What can attract bees? 5．Does building bee bus stops make bee numbers grow? （22-23八年级上·江苏盐城·阶段练习）People call lions the kings of the animal world. Lions usually live in the wild in Africa and India. Lions in Africa can go without water for up to one month, so they have no trouble if there is no water for a long time. Without question, lions are also one of the most popular animals in zoos. Almost every zoo around the world has a few lions. It is very easy for people to tell male(雄性) and female(雌性) lions. Lions are the only kind of cat that shows this strong difference between males and females. A male lion has a mane, a large collar of hair around its face. Female do not have manes. Male lions are also larger than females. A male lion usually weighs about 200 kilograms. Both male and female lions have very strong mouths. They can break the backs of animals with one bite. One lion will usually kill between one and twenty animals each year for food. It is unusual for lions to kill people. However, in 1898 two lions killed and ate over one hundred people in Kenya before an Englishman named P. J. Patterson killed them. Many years later, a 1996 Hollywood movie called The Ghost and the Darkness told this story. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。（每题答案不超过6个单词） 1．What are lions called by people? 2．How long can a lion live without water? 3．How many large animals does a lion usually kill for food in one year? 4．Are female lions smaller than male ones? 5．Who killed the two lions that killed and ate over one hundred people in Kenya? （23-24八年级上·湖南怀化·开学考试）阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 The Fairy Penguin (精灵企鹅) Fairy penguins are the smallest of all the penguins in the world.

We may hear of many stories about how dolphins save people out of water. Dolphins often eat fish and some other sea animals. A dolphin with a weight (重量) of 200 kg to 250 kg will eat 10 kg to 25 kg of fish every day. Dolphins have good hearing. They use it to find things under the water. Many scientists also believe dolphins can even talk to each other through a special whistle (哨声) . Just like people, dolphins’ whistles have many kinds. Dolphins live in the sea, but they are not a kind of fish and they don’t lay eggs. They have babies in the same way as cows and cats do, and give their babies milk. A female (雌性) dolphin has a baby every two to three years. Dolphins are very friendly. Sadly, there are not many kinds of dolphins left. People killed them for food and other things for many years. Now it’s time to stop this and perhaps there will be more of them in the years to come. 1．How many fish does a dolphin with a weight of 200 kg to 250 kg eat every day?

We may hear of many stories about how dolphins save people out of water. Dolphins often eat fish and some other sea animals. A dolphin with a weight (重量) of 200 kg to 250 kg will eat 10 kg to 25 kg of fish every day. Dolphins have good hearing. They use it to find things under the water. Many scientists also believe dolphins can even talk to each other through a special whistle (哨声) . Just like people, dolphins’ whistles have many kinds. Dolphins live in the sea, but they are not a kind of fish and they don’t lay eggs. They have babies in the same way as cows and cats do, and give their babies milk. A female (雌性) dolphin has a baby every two to three years. Dolphins are very friendly. Sadly, there are not many kinds of dolphins left. People killed them for food and other things for many years. Now it’s time to stop this and perhaps there will be more of them in the years to come. 1．How many fish does a dolphin with a weight of 200 kg to 250 kg eat every day?
