2024-2025冀教版初中英语八年级上册期末必刷 阅读理解专项练习30篇 附答案及解析 When the Dragon Boat Festival comes, many Chinese like to watch or take part in dragon boat races. However, in a small village in Fuzhou, people are busy making dragon boats during the festival. Fangzhuang, known as the “Dragon Boat Village”, has a history of more than 700 years of boat-making. It is the biggest dragon boat making place in China. Fang Shaohuang, a 72-year-old man, has a boat-making factory in Fangzhuang. He began to learn the skill (技能) 58 years ago. It is not easy to build a dragon boat because workers need to use many tools (工具) and finish all the work by hand. “The materials (材料) for making the boat are crucial.” Fang said. “We often choose trees over 40 years old. And the wood must be hard and waterproof (耐水的) or the boat can’t be used for a long time.” In Fang’s factory, the boats are 18 meters long, and each of them can carry (承载) as many as 34 people. It usually takes one worker over 20 days to finish a boat. This year, the four main factories in Fangzhuang made about 200 boats before the festival. Besides making boats, the factory also welcomes visitors. Many primary school students and college students come to learn about the traditional boat-making skill. “My son says he hopes to build a hall for showing our boats so that more young people are able to know about the dragon boat culture,” Fang said. 1．Why is Fangzhuang known as the “Dragon Boat Village”? A．Because the first dragon boat race takes place there. B．Because it has a long history of dragon boat races. C．Because it’s biggest place for dragon boat making. D．Because people there are good at painting boats. 2．The underlined (划线的) word “crucial” probably means ________ in Chinese. A．至关重要的 B．有益的 C．有道理的 D．糟糕的 3．What can we know about the boats in Fang’s factory? A．They are small but heavy. B．Workers make them by hand. C．They are made of bad materials. D．Each of them can carry 20 people. 4．What can we learn from the last paragraph (段落) ? A．Fang hopes to build a big hall on the dragon boat. B．Few people want to learn about the boat-making skill now. C．There is a hall for showing dragon boats in Fang’s factory. D．Many students pay a visit to Fang’s factory. I asked four students what they were going to be when they grew up. Here are the results. Wang Li: I want to be a movie director (导演). And I want to make movies more beautiful and exciting. Maybe you will see my great movies many years later. And I’m sure you will like them very much. Eric: I want to be an actor because I love acting. I always perform with the DVD on, and I enjoy doing it. I take acting lessons three times a week and I’m going to continue acting in the university. Thomas: When I grow up, I want to be a dentist. Because I am very interested in dentistry. I also want to make my mom and dad proud. But I need enough money to get the education. Ray: I’m going to be a professional programmer. Why? I like to work on computers. I like surfing the Internet, and I know the job can help me realize my dream. I’m going to live in a big house with my pets—a cat and a puppy. 5．Who wants to make movies more beautiful and exciting? A．Wang Li. B．Thomas. C．Ray. D．Eric. 6．What is Thomas going to be when he grows up? A．A director. B．An actor. C．A dentist. D．A programmer. 7．Which is NOT true according to the passage? A．Thomas needs enough money to get an education in dentistry. B．Ray likes to work on computers and surf the Internet. C．Eric takes acting lessons three times a week. D．Wang Li wants to make his mom and dad proud. 8．The underlined word “proud” means __________ in Chinese. A．确信的 B．成功的 C．骄傲的 D．感动的 9．What’s the best title of the passage? A．Beautiful Dreams B．Favorite Animals C．Exciting Movies D．Great Jobs Did you ever dream of traveling all the way over the rainbow (彩虹)? In fact, it’s easier than you think. All you need to do is to buy a plane ticket to Peru (秘鲁). The South American country is home to wonderful natural sights, and one of the most amazing is Rainbow Mountain. Rainbow Mountain, also called Mountain of Seven Colors, lies in the Andes in Cusco. As its name shows, the mountain has different colors. It attracts (吸引) lots of tourists every year. But what makes the mountain look like it is painted in yellows, greens, reds, and purples? The reason is the ice that covered the area centuries ago. When it began to melt, the water mixed with minerals (矿物质) in the ground, turning the earth into the many colors you see today. If you plan your trip to the mountain, you’d better visit it during warmer months when there will be less rain or snow. Rain or snow will make the climbing more difficult and the colors will look duller (更暗淡的). The best time begins in March and lasts nine months, when there will be blue skies and pleasant weather. At the same time, visit it in the morning or during evening hours, either right after sunrise or right before sunset. Very sunny days may prevent you from taking nice photos. To get to Rainbow Mountain, you should first go to Cusco. From the city, you can take a two-or-three-hour car ride to Pitumarca. Then you have to make your way to Qesoyuno to start the journey on foot. Once you arrive at the base (大本营), it’s about a two-or-three-hour walk to the top. This really is the best way, but the trip is very challenging. The other important thing to remember is that the mountain sits at a really high elevation (纬度) about 5,200 meters above sea level, so prepare enough water and take your time. 10．How does the writer start the passage? A．By listing a fact. B．By telling a story. C．By asking a question. D．By giving an example. 11．What does the underlined word “melt” mean in Chinese? A．融化 B．熔化 C．蒸发 D．凝固 12．Which of the following is a perfect time for a trip to Rainbow Mountain? A．At noon of a cold day in December. B．On the evening of a rainy day in August. C．On the afternoon of a snowy day in January. D．On the morning of a sunny day in September. Everyone has worries. How will you do if you have your worry? There is always something you can do to help yourself feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won’t solve your problems. Children are worried about their grades in school. If you worry about grades, ask yourself these questions: ▲Why are grades important? What do grades mean to me? ▲How do I get ready for class? Do I go over my notes even when there isn’t a test? ▲Do I have a good place to do my homework? ▲Did I try different ways of studying? If your worry is about a fight you had with your friend, you might write down all the things you could do—write a note to him or her, invite him or her to watch a basketball game, say sorry to him or her and so on. Once you have several things you could do, you can choose one thing that could get your friend back. You can ask for help when you’re worried. You can find someone to talk to, such as your parents, friends, teachers, and so on. 13．What do children often worry most about? A．Their homework. B．Their hobbies. C．Their grades at school. D．A fight with their friends. 14．If you’re worried, you should ________. A．do your homework B．ask for help and talk to someone C．get ready for class D．work hard 15．If you’re worried about grades, you shouldn’t ask yourself “________”. A．How do I get ready for class? B．What do grades mean to me? C．Why are grades important? D．Why not give up (放弃) my studies? 16．If you had a fight with a friend, you could ________. A．invite him or her to watch a game B．leave him or her alone C．try to make new friends D．put the blame (责备) on him or her 17．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．When people are worried. B．How to deal with (处理) worries. C．Who is often worried. D．What kinds of worries people have. A reader wrote to say that she was feeling lonely at break (休息) because her best friend wasn’t around. Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes. It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime. You want to have new friends. But how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends. Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play with at break. Look for chances to say Hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation (欣赏) to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to the kids you want to play with. If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help—and pretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends. You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before she/he left: You can introduce her/him to your new friends! 18．This text is written for ________. A．teachers B．parents C．students D．visitors 19．Why do some kids feel lonely at break according to the passage? A．Because they have trouble with their studies. B．Because they don’t have their best friends with them. C．Because they need their parents to be with them.

C．Write to our best friends. D．Love our best friends. Each country has its unique (独特的) rules. When in a foreign country, we should obey the rules. When in Rome, do as the Romans do! Now let’s learn about some manners (礼仪) in four different countries. Manal, from Saudi Arabia The traditional greeting between men in my country—grasp (抓住) right hand, place left hand on his right shoulder and kiss each cheek (面颊), if you like some food, you can let out a noisy burping (打嗝), it’s rude if you don’t do so. Razdan, from Malaysia We greet people by shaking hands. But the handshake lasts 10 or 12 seconds. Often, both hands are used. In my country, we never use the word “No”.

In order to make greater improvement, Cheng Lian took him to visit a new teacher, Fang Zichun. Zichun lived on an island in the East Sea. Unluckily, when they arrived, Zichun was away. Cheng Lian left and asked Boya to stay. Boya played his qin while waiting for the teacher. One day, when he was walking on the beach, the wind suddenly blew strongly and it started to rain heavily. He was amazed at the sound of the storm and started to play his qin. When he finished playing, Cheng Lian arrived. “What do you think about your new teacher?” Cheng asked with a smile. “New teacher? Ah, I see!” Boya suddenly realized why Cheng took him here. Boya created many pieces of beautiful music including High Mountains and Flowing Water but he felt no one really understand his music. One day, Boya started to play qin on the boat. While he was playing High Mountains and Flowing Water, a woodcutter, Zhong Ziqi stopped to hear his music. Ziqi closed his eyes and listened carefully. When Boya finished the part about high mountains, Ziqi said: “How wonderful! It sounds like Mount Tai.” Boya didn’t speak and went on playing. This time the tune (曲调) was different. Ziqi said: “How amazing! It sounded like the great river!” Boya felt very touched and said: “You are the one who knows my heart!” They promised to meet each other the same day next year. Unluckily, Ziqi didn’t come because he died some time before. Boya was so sad that he smashed his qin and promised never to play again. People were deeply touched by the friendship between Boya and Ziqi. Today people will use “high mountains and flowing water” to refer to beautiful music and understanding between friends. 28．Why did Boya visit a new teacher?

That means you got a classic book hangover. “Book hangover” isn’t an official term, but the experience is very real. “We get very sad when a book ends,” says Solomon, a psychologist (心理学家). “It is as though we are losing our world and the characters in it.” Making the loss even more painful is the fact that the made-up world is often better than the reality. It may take our brains some time to get used to that. So, what’s behind the book hangover? Well, there are a few factors at play. Basically, you are sad that it’s over. Ending a great book is like completing a fantastic movie or vacation. It’s normal to feel a bit blue that the good times are over. Besides, you’re thrown back to reality. Reading puts you in the driver’s seat. You can put the book down if the story makes you upset or pick it up again if you want to stay away from real life for a few minutes. Losing this control might make you feel lost and upset. Moreover, you’re emotionally (情感上) spent. Feeling what the characters feel makes reading wonderful. But it can use up your emotion. As a result, when the book ends and the characters are no longer there to activate your mind and heart, you may feel empty and tired. Then how do you get over a book hangover? Here is some smart advice. First, pick up a new book. Many book lovers say picking up a new book is their favorite cure (治疗) for a book hangover. “I always have another unread book ready to read to cure that previous book hangover,” says Ferguson, a book lover. Second, reread your favorite parts. If you love a story so much that you can’t let it go, why not enjoy yourself by revisiting those beloved characters and worlds? Third, retell the story with a friend. “I like to discuss the book with another reader. I like to hear their views,” says Scott, another book lover. Research shows that reading stimulates (刺激) the brain’s pleasure centers and friendship developed through books also makes us happier. Connecting a love of reading with friendship will help you feel better during a book hangover. 33．Which of the following shows you may experience a book hangover? A．You feel sad after you finish reading a book you love. B．You know how the characters feel about their life events. C．You realize the reality is better than the world in the book. D．You understand what the writers want to show through books. 34．To get over the book hangover, we can ________. A．read the whole book again and again B．share the story in the book with friends C．write down our feelings about the book D．read at least two books at the same time 35．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How useful reading is and what to do to enjoy it. B．What a book hangover is and ways to deal with it. C．Why a book hangover is helpful for the book lovers. D．When people can get out of troubles through reading. Everyone knows magic tricks are fun, but not enough people realize that math can be as well. Here is one of the most popular tricks to show you how amazing math can be. Firstly, pick a friend with good math skills. To play the trick, your friend needs to know how to add numbers and do subtraction (减法). Then, write down 1089 on a piece of paper without showing anyone. Thirdly, ask your friend to write down a number with three different digits (位数). Tell him not to show you the number. Make sure the three digits can not be the same. For example, he could pick 481. Next, let your friend write down the number backwards. For example, 481 backwards is 184. After that, make it into a subtraction problem. Now your friend has two numbers. Get him to subtract the smaller one from the larger one. In our example, the result should be 481-184＝297. If the result has only two digits, ask your friend to add a zero at the beginning. Next step, reverse this number as well. Ask your friend to take his answer and reverse the digits order again. If he added the zero at the beginning, remind him to include it as part of the number. For example, the reverse of 297 is 792. Here comes the most exciting part. As the final calculation, get your friend to add the last two numbers and write down the result. In our example, 792+297＝1089. Finally, tell everyone that you know the last number your friend wrote down. Show others the piece of paper with the 1089 you’ve written down earlier. In the trick, the last number will always be 1089. If your friend has a different answer, he did not follow instructions, or he made a mistake. 36．To play the trick, how many steps should you follow? ________ A．5. B．6. C．7. D．8. 37．If your friend got “99” after doing the subtraction, what did he need to do? ________ A．Go on with the other steps. B．Change the number into 099. C．Tell others the number he got. D．Choose another number to start again. 38．What’s the underlined word “reverse” in paragraph 7 mean? ________ A．To get something inside out. B．To turn something upside down. C．To turn or move something to one side. D．To change the order of something around. 39．Which is the best name for the math trick? ________ A．The 481 trick B．The 2 numbers trick C．The 1089 trick D．The subtraction trick In the South China Sea, there is a group of Jiaoren, or Chinese mermaids (美人鱼), whose tears become pearls (珍珠) after they fall. To the north of Kunlun Mountains, there is a monster (怪物) called Xiangliu, which has nine heads with human faces but the body of a snake. These magic characters are from the ancient book of mythical (神话的) story Shan Hai Jing. Shan Hai Jing, also known as The Classic of Mountains and Seas, is said to be at least 2, 200 years old. It is about culture and geography of China before the Qin dynasty. It has 31, 000 words, more or less. The whole collection includes eighteen parts, talking about more than 550 mountains and 300 seas. It also tells many interesting stories and describes lots of mythical characters. A famous story in the book is about Zhu Rong, the God of Fire. He is described as having a beast-like (野兽般的) body and a human face, riding around the sky on two dragons. When he had a big fight with Gong Gong, the God of Water, Zhu Rong won. But after the fight, the human world came into complete darkness. Then he brought fire from heaven (天堂) to the world and taught humans how to use it. Another famous character in the book is Feibao, which in another part is named Mo. It is described as a black-and-white monster that feeds on iron (铁). It also goes by “the Iron Eater”. The mysterious character might be the giant panda. Although it’s not clear who wrote it, Shan Hai Jing is an important ancient book in the pre-Qin period of China and considered one of the treasures of Chinese culture. The stories in the book are now being spread (传播) from one generation (一代人) to another in China. The book has encouraged many people like Lu Xun and JK Rowling. There are also many books, films, games and artworks made from it. 40．What is the second paragraph mainly about? A．Why Shan Hai Jing is popular. B．How Shan Hai Jing was written.

A washing machine helps us to wash clothes fast. A printing machine helps us to print a lot of books, newspapers, magazines and many other things fast. Bikes, cars, trains and planes are all machines. They help us to travel faster than on foot. The computer is a wonderful machine. It was invented not long ago. It not only stores (贮存) information (信息) but also stores numbers millions of times as fast as a scientist does. Let’s study hard and try to use all kinds of machines to build China into a modern country. 45．Machines can help us to do things better and faster, so they _______.

While most of Asia celebrates the year of the rabbit, Vietnam (越南) celebrates the year of the cat. In the Chinese zodiac (十二生肖), there are 12 animals, and the 4th animal is the rabbit; while in the Vietnamese zodiac, the 4th position is got by the cat. How the cat substituted for the rabbit in Vietnam’s zodiac is still the topic of debate. Ancient storytellers said the Jade Emperor organized a race across a river for all the animals in the world. The first 12 to reach the other side would appear in the zodiac. In the Chinese version of the story, the cat and the rat were riding across a river on an ox when the rat pushed the cat into the water. The rat won the race, turning the two animals into enemies. That is why cats have been hunting rats ever since. However, in the Vietnamese version—which did not have a rabbit—the cat could swim and ended up arriving. One possible explanation for replacing rabbit with cat might have to do with language. In old Chinese, there is a word tied to the sign of the rabbit that is pronounced mao (卯). The pronunciation is similar to mèo, the Vietnamese word for cat. Quyen Di, a lecturer at UCLA, said people of Vietnam consider rabbits as animals that are used for food and chose the cat because they believe cats are friends living in their house. This year, many Vietnamese are buying new cat-themed cases for their mobile phones. And one of the top Google searches in Vietnam is “why there is no cat in the Chinese zodiac”. 50．The underlined words “substituted for” in paragraph 1 can be replaced by ________. A．took care of B．paid for C．took the place of D．depended on 51．What can we learn from the Vietnamese zodiac story? A．The Jade Emperor loved the cat. B．The rabbit fell into the river in the zodiac race. C．The rat and the rabbit were enemies in ancient times. D．The cat finished fourth by swimming across the river. 52．What can we know from the text? A．To explain the history of the Chinese zodiac. B．To show ways of celebrating the year of the rabbit. C．To state the popularity of Chinese traditional culture. D．To introduce the start of the year of the cat in Vietnam. ①Chinese characters (文字) are one of the oldest characters in the world, with a history of more than 6 thousand years. More than 1,600,000,000 people use them in the world, the number is larger than the other characters. ②“I fall in love with the shape of Chinese characters, it’s beautiful and it is a kind of an art-the art of calligraphy (书法), although it’s too difficult for me to speak it well, haha,” says Anna, from Thailand. ③“Chinese characters have the largest amount (量) of information. In the UN documents (文献), if we turn the same book into different languages, the Chinese version (版本) must be the thinnest of all,” says Robert from the UN. ④However, a piece of news reported ________. It also showed more than 24 characters aren’t right in the 400-word letter for a job. To wake up people’s love for writing of Chinese characters, the Ministry (部) of Education in China have asked people to spend more time writing Chinese characters six times. More and more people take part in it. ⑤Most of the school in China have calligraphy classes. Mr. Tan, a Chinese teacher from a primary school in Chongqing, has calligraphy classes for his students on weekends for free as a hobby. And he always writes Spring Festival couplets (对联) and sends them to his students. Some supermarkets in Wanzhou also started to do so last Spring Festival. ⑥Chinese characters show the beauty of Chinese culture.

Recently, I read a book about animals called A Lion’s Traveling. Chinese writer Shen Shixi wrote it. The book tells the story of five lion brothers. They had to leave their home and began an adventure (冒险). Unluckily, four of them all died along the way. Only the youngest one, named Red Ribbon, was alive. After going through many difficulties, he finally became the lion king. The story shows the love and care between friends, the life and death brothers need to face, and the determination (决心) to fight with difficulties. The young lion finally became the king. This teaches me a great lesson—those who cannot defeat (打败) you will make you stronger. Everyone will face lots of difficulties during their lifetime. We should learn to stay strong and be better. The book has many exciting things about lions, as well as many pictures. You can not only read the great story but also learn a lot about the animals in the real world. If you like reading, choose A Lion’s Traveling. 57．Red Ribbon is ________. A．a tiger B．a lion C．a writer D．a reader 58．In the book A Lion’s Traveling, ________.

And I had a good idea—I planned to put on a show with my cat, Mimi! However, my best friend Grace showed up, “Kelly, we should do an act together!” I was going to tell her my idea, but she quickly interrupted me. “We will discuss the act after school.” she said, “I’ll see you at 6 when we practice ping-pong.” We always did what Grace wanted. She picked the sport we played. We watched comedies because she liked them. Sometimes I felt unhappy about how our friendship worked. However, Grace always seemed so sure that I couldn’t say anything. After school, Grace was excited about her plan, “I learned this from a TV show. We can do a magic trick together.” “That’s great.” I said, “Do you think maybe we can put Mimi in our show?” “Kelly, you know I am not good with animals.” said Grace. When I got home, Mum asked me why I was so quiet. I told her about the talent show. “Kelly. You can’t always follow your friend around.” Mum smiled, “Grace is a very good friend, but you should be yourself and help your friend see it.” That evening, I called Grace and told her I really wanted to do the show with Mimi. After I hung up, I spent the night worrying it could be the end of our friendship. The next morning at school, something surprising happened. Grace told me about a new act. She also planned to go by herself! After class, we played tennis, my favorite sport, instead of ping-pong! The talent show was a month ago. Grace and I are still good friends.

My 10-year-old Donna said, “Mom, I made a new friend at school today. Can she come over tomorrow?” Donna was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell. “Sure, honey, that sounds great.” I said, thinking back to my own best friend, Lillian. We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter, I was shy, but Lillian drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile. In senior high school, Lillian went on a trip to Florida. This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. “I’ll be back soon.” she told me. But three days later, Lillian’s sister told me that she had fallen into a river and hadn’t come out any more. Soon, my family moved to New Jersey. Whenever I thought of her, tears (眼泪) came into my eyes. The next day Donna brought her new friend home. “Hi, Mrs. Loggia.” the little girl said. Her hair was so shiny and black and she gave me a big smile. “My name is Laura.” My daughter’s new friend was so much like Lillian. I was still puzzled (迷惑) when Laura’s mom came to pick her up later that afternoon. I opened the door to let her in. “Judy!” she cried. “It’s me, Lillian’s sister, from Washington Heights.” Yes, my daughter’s friend looked familiar.

A new device (设备) can now give you that same feeling even if you don’t have a cat! Scientists at Cornell University, recently made a brush-like device, reported New Atlas, an online science website. Wear it on your arm and it can slowly move a piece of soft fur back and forth along your skin. It feels just like touching a furry (毛茸茸的) cat. Scientists made this device to help people deal with stress. Past studies showed that touching either humans or animals can lower people’s heart rate (心率) and blood pressure, and allow people to relax. Why is that? According to the science website Wired, this comes from evolution (进化). Primates (灵长目动物) spend about 15 percent of their waking hours grooming one another. They do this to make friends and trade food with others. Chimps (大猩猩) have been found to share food with those that groomed them earlier in the day. Touch is the basis (基础) of this act of kindness. As humans evolved into the most social animals, touch became a more powerful way to show our ties with others. Many studies found that a hug or a pat can make our body produce oxytocin, a chemical (化学物质) that makes us more trusting, more generous (慷慨的), and friendlier, while also lowering our blood pressure. The designers of the device also made a system that can detect users’ stress levels. Then it can automatically (自动) start to work when needed. They even want to use the design in the armrest (扶手) of the theater seat. The armrest will touch you while you are watching the movie, and its emotion (情绪) will change with the story in the film. 81．How does the brush-like device work to make users feel relaxed? A．It brushes people’s arms to clean their skin. B．People move the fur on the device back and forth. C．The soft fur on it moves slowly back and forth on people’s arms. D．The fake furry cat on the device touches people’s arms slowly. 82．Why did the writer use the example of primates? A．To give suggestions on people’s social activities. B．To prove that humans evolved from primates. C．To show that humans differ from other animals. D．To show the importance of touch. 83．In what way can touch help humans feel more trusting and friendlier? A．It helps people keep fit so they can feel good about themselves. B．It is the best way to show friendliness and kindness. C．It works through a kind of chemical which can influence people’s feelings. D．It can change people’s body temperature and make them feel warm. 84．What does “its emotion” refer to in the last paragraph? A．the emotion of the movie B．the emotion of the armrest C．the emotion of the movie watcher D．the emotion of the film’s story 85．If the passage went on, what might the next paragraph be about? A．The price of this kind of new armrest. B．Other good ways to deal with stress. C．More uses of the detecting system and the armrest. D．Other recent inventions by scientists at Cornell University. In our life, we should often be ready for change that will help us unlock (释放) our self-improvement power. However, we don’t always understand it. We think of unlocking our self-improvement power only when everything gets worst. When do we realize that we need to change diets? When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth have fallen off. We see the warning signs when things get difficult. Most of us will learn about unlocking our self-improvement power only when the whole world falls apart. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change. However, change becomes more painful when we pay no attention to it. Change will happen, like it or hate it. At one point or another, we are all going to finally unlock our self-improvement power, not because the world says so, but because we realize it’s good for ourselves. Happy people don’t just accept change; they welcome it. Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change. Jane always tells everyone that she is afraid of being around groups of people. Over the years, that is what Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd come, she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it! If we look at things in a different way, we might have greater fun. Doing exercise three times a week would lead to a healthier life. Reading books every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying the whole process (过程) of unlocking out self-improvement power, we will realize that we can take things light and become happy. 86．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing Paragraph 2? A．To show that health is the most important. B．To explain we will meet trouble in life. C．To tell problems are not realized at times. D．To show we learn lessons when experiencing pain. 87．What advice might be given to help solve Jane’s problem? A．Always believe in herself. B．Unlock herself out of the box of thought. C．Get on with people in a friendly way. D．Count the days until she is fully improved. 88．Which of the following opinions may the writer support? A．Don’t improve ourselves until things get worst. B．People change when they find it easy to do that. C．If you welcome change in life, you’ll make it better. D．Process of self-improvement makes life worse. 89．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Is it important to take things light? B．Is it necessary to believe in yourselves? C．To hold on to the last moment or to give up? D．To unlock ourselves out of the box of thought or to stay in it? When you think of Chinese kung fu, what first comes to your mind? Maybe tai chi or Shaolin kung fu. But have you ever heard of Wing Chun (咏春拳)? Wing Chun is a traditional fist style that started in the late Ming dynasty in South China. This kung fu style calls for quick arm movements and strong legs. To build up speed, people usually practice with a stand—in opponent a dummy made of wood. Besides, Wing Chun also needs people to be flexible (灵活的) and soft while building up strength to fight back. Just like the flexible nature of bamboo! Wing Chun is one of the martial arts (武术) inherited (传承) from Shaolin. The name Wing Chun is in memory of Yim Wing Chun, the founder of Wing Chun. IP Man (叶问) is the third generation (代) of Wing Chun. He opened a martial arts academy and began teaching Wing Chun in Hong Kong in 1949. Bruce Lee is his famous student. IP Man promoted (推广) Wing Chun to the country. Today, Wing Chun is the second most popular martial art after Tai Chi started by Zhang sanfeng. All this is because of IP Man. In 2014, Wing Chun was added to the national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) list. It has also become popular worldwide through action films. Wing Chun has also made its way into cinema. Here’s a checklist of Wing Chun films. First, IP Man, it tells the story of the legendary IP Man, the first Wing Chun master to teach the art to the large public.

People often said things to me, like “Oh, the three of you, you’re such nice girls. Your sisters are so pretty and so thin! You’re really nothing like them.” That made me really upset. At school, all of my teachers had taught my sisters. On the first day of school, they said, “Oh, the youngest of the three! I hope you’re just like your sisters. They’re such wonderful students.” People always compared(比较) me with my sisters. So I couldn’t help comparing myself with them. Theresa was smarter, and Amanda was prettier. I began to work hard to be more like them. What my sisters did, I did, too. At last, I became the lead drummer(首席鼓手) of our school’s marching band(仪仗队). Both Amanda and Theresa had been lead drummers. But last year, Amanda went to college, and Theresa went to high school. Now everyone knows me, because I’m the lead drummer.

It cuts hair with little mess. The Flowbee was made by an American man who built things with wood. In 1987, Rick Hunt was working in his wood shop. A lot of wood was cut in the shop, so little pieces of wood were everywhere. They were on the ground, on Hunt’s shirt and even in his hair. The shop had a big vacuum（真空吸尘器） for cleaning. Hunt used it to clean not only the shop, but also himself. The pieces of wood were easily sucked（ 吸 ） from his clothes and his hair. As Hunt used the vacuum to clean his hair, he got an idea. “This would be a good way to cut hair with less mess,” he thought. He added some special parts to a common vacuum. In this way, the first Flowbees were born. Those first Flowbees were sold out of Hunt’s home. Then, a fall festival was held near Hunt’s home. He took all of his Flowbees there, and a lot of people bought them. Next, Hunt went on television with the Flowbee. More and more Flowbees were sold. More than a million Flowbees were sold in America over the next ten years. Today, this interesting machine is sold to people around the world. Hunt’s clever way to cut hair really works. Sometimes great ideas come from surprising places. 115．What kind of machine is the Flowbee? A．A funny machine to dry hair. B．A useful machine to cut hair. C．A modern machine to cut wood.

Lion dancing first started in China hundreds of years ago. It means bringing good luck in the coming year. Usually, a lion is made up of two dancers. One dancer controls the head. The other controls the tail. “I think of it as a sport.” says Anthony Huang, aged 16. He is a member of the New York Chinese Freemasons Athletic Club (美国华人共济会俱乐部). Anthony performs as the lion’s head. It can weigh 20 pounds. Lion dancing is important to Anthony. “This tradition(传统) really lifts me up,” he says. In the past, lion dancing was performed mostly by men. But it is different today. Lion Dance Me is a lion dancing group in San Francisco, California. There are boys and girls on its team. They dance together. “Anyone can take up lion dancing. You have to believe that you can do it,” says Ananda Tang-Lee, a 17-year-old girl. Lion dancing will continue to evolve. But a team’s spirit (精神) will never change. “We call it a family.” Ananda says. “It’s really great because we always have each other’s backs.” 119．Why do people perform lion dancing?

I’ve always liked designing things. I remember drawing clothes and shoes when I was eight, and I made my first skirt aged nine. At eleven, I started making shoes, and I now spend my free time doing that. I became interested in making shoes when my cousin told me about an online shoemaking course that he was doing. I immediately wanted to do one, too. Mum booked (为……预约) me on a four-day course at the I Can Make Shoes School in London to see if I liked it, and then I did a ten-day course there in the summer holidays. I loved the courses. I made four pairs of shoes! I couldn’t believe it. The teachers were excellent. That’s the best thing about the classes.
