(B) 八年级英语 （第 5 页 共 8 页） The report shows that, in this century, influence of climate change “will slow down economic growth (增长), and further cause new food problems”. The most important thing is to reduce (降 低) and do with the bad results. Field said, “If you look around the world at the losses (损失) that have been caused by recent floods, droughts and other extreme weather, it’s very clear that we’re not prepared for the kinds of extreme things. Extreme weather becomes a threat to nature, humans, and society. But I believe at any time we could make smart decisions that help us more successfully do with danger now and better do with them in the future.” The report will also compare (比较) dangers in a future world in which high emissions (排 放) go on, with one where polluters lower emissions. “There’s really a big difference between what those worlds look like. Making the changes necessary to stop major influences will take a long time,” Field said. “The dangers go up as you wait.” 49.

In fact, trouble was on its way for every strong dog with warm long hair. This was because men, going through the Arctic (北极的) darkness, had found a yellow metal—gold. And because shipping and transportation companies were advertising the discovery, thousands of men were rushing into the Northland. These men wanted heavy dogs, with strong muscles (肌肉) for working and thick coats to protect them from the cold. Buck lived at Judge Miller’s house in the sunny-kissed Santa Clara Valley. There were big stables (马厩), long grape fields, fruit gardens and a big swimming pool. Buck ruled over the whole kingdom. Here he was born and here he had lived the four years of his life. He protected the Judge’s sons and daughters at long midnight or early morning walks. On cold winter nights he lay at the Judge’s feet in front of the warm library fire. He was king—king over everything, walked, or flew at Judge Miller’s place, including humans. Buck was this kind of dog in the autumn of 1897, when people found gold in the Klondike, they rushed into the frozen North. But Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that Manuel, one of gardener’s helpers, was not to be trusted. Manuel loved to gamble (赌博). He believed he could win but he was sure to fail. On the night of Manuel’s betrayal (背叛), no one saw him and Buck went off through the fields. Buck imagined it to be a relaxing walk. They arrived at a little train. A man talked with Manuel and money passed between them. Manuel tied a piece of thick rope around Buck’s neck. Buck accepted it quietly. To be sure, it was unwanted, but Buck had learned to trust men he knew. However, when the ends of the rope were placed in the stranger’s hands, he barked. Then the rope tightened painfully, his tongue hanging out of his mouth. Then his strength disappeared, his 八年级英语 （第 6 页 共 8 页） eyes grew dim (浑浊), and he knew nothing when the train pulled up. Two men threw him into the baggage car. ——Adapted from The Call of the Wild by Jack London 52.Why were thousands of men rushing into the Northland? A. Because they could live a better life there. B.

He had lived in Judge Miller’s house since he was born. C. Life before the autumn of 1897 was enjoyable for him. D. Manuel could take him out of Miller’s house because he believed in Manuel. 54.The trouble Buck didn’t know at first is that ▲ . A. he did not read the newspapers B. Judge Miller would ask someone to send Buck away C. men wanted heavy dogs to work for them in the cold areas D. Manuel was sure to lose money when gambling 55.The story is mainly about ▲ . A. animals’ trust in humans B. people’s discovery of gold C. Buck’s early life at Judge Miller’s D. the turning point of Buck’s life (D) 阅读以下内容,从其后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 有两项是多余的。 Many people like having a pet at home.

When things happen so fast, it’s easy to get lost of what you’re doing or learning. It’s important to stop yourself now and then to think about what you are doing or learning. Self-reflection (反省) means slowing down and calming yourself down. By being calm and not going quickly, you give your brain a chance to think about what you have learned. Some people like to do self-reflections only in their mind. Others write down in diaries or notes. You can follow the steps to do self-reflection. First, choose the proper time to do it. School textbooks are usually divided (被分成) into units of study. This makes it easier to begin self-reflection. Look for time when you finish a unit of study. Sometimes you know the unit is over because there is some kind of test. Use these natural 八年级英语 （第 8 页 共 8 页） breaks to stop and do self-reflection. Then, find a quiet place and take out your reflection diary. Write down some notes on the new things that you have learned in the unit. Let your mind think about the notes you’ve written before and make some connections (联系). Finally, think about things that you’re not sure of. Maybe you learned a new way to work out a math problem, but you’re not sure when to use it. Writing down your questions will help you remember to look for answers the next time you are working with the same topic. Self-reflection is important for a successful student. If you have never taken the time to do self-reflection, try it now.
