When Prince was a young boy,he didn't share the same interest as the others.He didn't have many toys at home and seldom played computer games.Howeyer,he was interested in playing with blocks to build things whenever he could. One day,Prince's mom said that there was not enough space in their apartment to grow all her plants,so he started thinking about ways to solve the problem.Then an idea came up,"What if we plant them in a different place from where we live". Prince spent about two to three months building his robot.Before drawing out designs,he had to search for a great deal of information on the Internet.In order to build the robot successfully,he went to the market to buy necessary parts.The robot had everything to help it move around.The last step is doing all the coding (to get the robot to be useful and not just a model.His robot was named GrRobot.It had a camera for live video and a basket to plant seeds.It could decide whether to open the sprinkler (according to the soil conditions.All of these will help farmers do farm work and even some difficult work. Besides this robot,Prince had also invented a game and apps.When asked about the secret to his achievements,he replied,"Seeing people's life getting better because of my inventions lets me feel great.I'll do what I can to solve more people's problems.And the world may be different with my help." 26.Why did Prince invent the robot?

B.Hard work is the secret to success. C.Working together makes a difference. D.Happiness may be achieved by helping others. B Some fish weigh more than a fridge.Some fish look like cows.Now,getting to know these very special creatures is becoming easier.On a new website (www.eolorg),called the Encyclopaedia of Life(EOL),you will find basic facts on about 30,000 species-or kinds-of fish. But as surprising as 30,000 fish sounds,it's just a baby step for the website.Its designers dream of making it the largest biological encyclopaedia ever,with a web page for every living species. "Although there are already a lot of websites about living things,and a lot of encyclopaedias too, they're not the best tools for scientists",say the encyclopaedia's designers.Scientists need websites with information that has been double-checked by other scientists.A dream site would include links to all the basic research and also automatically()update itself as new research is published.Finally,even people who aren't scientists should be able to use such a site to get to know what's living in their backyards-or anywhere else in the world. Think of it as one huge book that can keep growing in size-to millions of pages.If those pages were made of paper,the book would become large and heavy and hard to update.However,because it's used online,anyone who has a computer can search its pages easily.Moreover,those new pages can be added quickly. 30.What is EOL? A.An organization studying special species. B.A large,heavy book which is a record of living things. C.A website where people can find information of many kinds of fish. D.A meeting where people discuss the research of the living things. 31.What's the purpose of the EOL designers? A.To make the encyclopaedia popular. B.To provide information of every living species. C.To give correct information to the scientists. D.To challenge the other websites and encyclopaedias. 八年级英语第4项共8页 31.What can we know about today's websites and encyclopaedias about living things from paragraph 3? A.They provide wrong information. B.They are easy to get information. C.They are the best tools for scientists. D.They seldom update the information. 33.What's the best title of this passage? A.A dream website. B.A“Book”of life. C.A surprising tool. D.An automatic encyclopaedia C How fast can you count from one to ten?Do you use ten different words to do it?Can you do it in English,or do you have to use your first language?Do you count on your fingers?Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world.But scientists have discovered that it is not true. People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers.In the United States, people begin counting with their first finger.They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb to count to five.Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten.In China,people use different finger positions to count.In this way,a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand. Besides ways of finger counting,scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers.Some languages have only a few words for numbers,and others have no words for numbers.For example,the aboriginal(士著居民)，people in Australia don't have hand movements to stand for numbers.They don't even have words for numbers.However,they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.Professor Edward Gibson from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said that most people believe that everyone knows how to count."But here is a group that does not count. They could learn,but they found it is not useful in their culture.Therefore,they've never picked it up." Although all humans are able to understand quantities,not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting.Number words in a certain language are a result of people needing numbers in their daily lives.Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math,too. 34.The four questions in paragraph I are used to A.tell a story B.make a survey C.interest readers D.solve math problems 35.The writer compares the finger counting of the US and China to prove that A.people from China need two hands to count from one to ten. B.people from China count much faster than people from the US. C.people of different cultures use the same way of finger counting. D.people of different cultures may use different ways of finger counting. 36.What does the underlined"it"in paragraph 3 refer to? A.Counting B.Culture C.Math D.Finger 37.What does the passage mainly talk about? A.In some aboriginal cultures,people don't even know how to count. B.Chinese people can count more easily on their fingers than Americans. C.People from different cultures have different ideas about numbers and math. D.Some languages don't have number words because people don't need numbers. 八年级英语第5页共8页 D The Internet is useful in our daily life.We often use it to communicate with people,buy and sell things,aud pay bills.But how safe is it when we use the Internet?Our magazine Interactions asked some Internet users about their experiences. Paula,23,office worker:I was at work,and I sent an email to a friend of mine.I was telling her about my problems with Thomas,the manager.A few minutes later,a friend of Thomas's came over to my desk.He said,"So you think Thomas is too strict?"My face was red.I chose the wrong name on my address list.It was my own fault,so I'll look over my einails more carefully before I click "Send"next time.
