Unit 1 Past and present 单元话题阅读回答问题练习 基础语篇巩固练 （23-24八年级下·江苏扬州·期末）阅读下列短文，根据短文中的信息回答问题。(每题答案不超过5个词) “Even the hardest life must be lived brightly!” This is one of the famous lines from the hit TV show To the Wonder (《我的阿勒泰》). In the show, herdsmen (牧民) in Altay, Xinjiang, move to new grasslands. Herdsmen move as the seasons change. In spring around April, herdsmen take their livestock (牲畜) halfway up the mountain. In summer, livestock will be moved to the top of the mountain for greener grass. In autumn, they come down from the mountain to spend the winter. Wulijiang Qialihaer, 13, has seen her grandparents and dad go through this cycle every year. “Before they leave, they usually take everything they need to the top of the mountain, including food and clothing.” Qialihaer said. “We have more than 200 heads of livestock. ” When her dad was a boy, her grandparents usually picked one or two children of theirs to go with them. The rest stayed at home for school. However, now for Qialihaer, she only goes to the mountaintop when it’s summer vacation. “I enjoy the beautiful views along the way, the sky, the grass and the clouds,” Qialihaer said. For Aybol, 14, his family has a faster way to move: riding a truck. “I wake up at six in the morning. Dad puts the cows and sheep on the trucks. Mom packs my favorite milk food and dried meat,” Aybol said. “We won’t forget to take our yurt (毡房) with us.” Although there are no cartoons or video games in the mountains, Aybol doesn’t feel bored at all. “My friends also come with their families as our yurts are close together. We usually ride horses and look for squirrels in the trees.” Aybol said. 1．Why do herdsmen move down from the mountain in autumn? 2．What do Qialihaer’s grandparents and dad take to the mountain top? 3．When does Qialihaer go to the mountaintop? 4．How does Aybol’s family move into the mountains? 5．How does Aybol like the life in the mountains? 【答案】1．To spend the winter. 2．Everything they need. 3．When it’s summer vacation./During summer vacation./In summer vacation. 4．By riding a truck./By truck. 5．Interesting/Fun/Not boring. 【导语】本文主要讲了新疆牧民的放牧日常生活。 1．根据第二段“In autumn, they come down from the mountain to spend the winter.”可知，在秋天的时候，他们的牲畜要下山过冬。故填To spend the winter. 2．根据第三段“Before they leave, they usually take everything they need to the top of the mountain, including food and clothing.”可知，出发前，Qialihaer的祖父母和父亲通常会把所需的一切东西带到山顶，包括食物和衣物。故填Everything they need. 3．根据第四段“However, now for Qialihaer, she only goes to the mountaintop when it’s summer vacation.”可知，Qialihaer现在只有暑假的时候才会去山顶。故填When it’s summer vacation./During summer vacation./In summer vacation. 4．根据第五段“For Aybol, 14, his family has a faster way to move: riding a truck.”可知，对于14岁的Aybol来说，他的家人有一种更快捷的出行方式：乘坐卡车。故填By riding a truck./By truck. 5．根据最后一段“Although there are no cartoons or video games in the mountains, Aybol doesn’t feel bored at all.”可知，虽然山里没有动画片和电子游戏，但Aybol一点也不觉得无聊。故填Interesting/Fun/Not boring. （23-24八年级下·江苏徐州·期末）Many years ago, I bought a house in Sunshine Town, and we still go there every summer. The first time we stayed there, our neighbour Mary came and brought us a box with some tomatoes and a bottle of wine (葡萄酒) in it. It was nice of her to do it. But when we looked at the tomatoes, we were worried because they looked terrible: not at all like the nice, round, shiny things you get in a supermarket. And the wine was cloudy, in a funny old bottle with no label (标签) on it. These couldn’t be any good, we thought. But we were thankful for her kindness, so we tried them. What a wonderful taste! Those tomatoes made me think of the ones my uncle grew when I was a child. Nowadays supermarket tomatoes look perfect but they have a taste of water. Nobody’s going to have a happy memory of those.

I liked going to school and learning new things. But I often daydreamed about going to sea. One day, Father asked, “Lemuel, have you thought about your future? I think you would be a good doctor.” I wanted to please him, so I said, “Yes, Father. I’ll go to Cambridge University and study medicine.” But as I spoke, I was thinking, “At university, I can also learn things that will be useful to a sailor.” After several years of study, I became a doctor. Not long after, I asked my sweetheart, Mary, to marry me. Before long, we had children, a boy and a girl. They gave us great joy. I enjoyed being a doctor for the first few years. But then I became bored, and ideas of travel filled my mind. I imagined going to far-off places and seeing wonderful new things. “Mary,” I said one day, “I need more adventures in my life. The captain of a ship about to sail has offered me a job as the ship’s doctor. I don’t know how long the journey will take, but I promise I will return. And when I do, I’ll tell you and the children all about my adventures.” So in 1699, I set sail on the Antelope from Bristol. That city is a large and very old port in the southwest of England. The captain was a good man and had sailed a great deal! “Welcome aboard. Doctor Gulliver,” he said, “First we’ll be sailing down the Atlantic Ocean and around the coast of Africa. Then we’ll sail through the Indian Ocean to the South Seas.” Our journey went well until one morning, somewhere near Tasmania in the South Pacific Ocean. “I don’t like the look of those clouds,” the captain said, “I think a storm is coming.” Within an hour, a big storm began.

At the end of our conversation, I asked him, “As a writer, you must enjoy writing, right?” “Not always,” he said. He thought for a moment and added, “I enjoy writing when it gives me a sense of pride.” “You know,” Alex went on, “some articles are harder to write than others. Sometimes, I’m not sure if the readers will like my article. I try to write as well as I can. When I finally look at my work, I feel good about myself.” Alex’s answer made me think of a trip ten years ago. My friends and I were halfway up Mount Hua after a short bus ride. It was a rainy day, and the mountain is famous for its steepness. As we looked up at its peaks (山顶), some of us thought of giving up. “You’ll feel sorry about your decision,” our guide said when he encouraged (鼓励) us to keep going. Soon, we arrived at “Yaozi Fanshen (鹞子翻身)”. It’s the most famous and challenging attraction on East Peak. We climbed up the almost vertical (垂直的) rock face (岩壁) by pulling at the iron chains (铁链). We were very tired. But we felt proud. We finally climbed three peaks of Mount Hua that day. In some places, we even took the steeper way. We found that the more difficult the climb was, the prouder we felt. Some mountains now provide visitors with an easier way up — a ride on an escalator (自动扶梯). But just as it is in writing, for some things in our lives, the harder way brings better rewards (回报). 1．What is Alex? 2．What was the weather like when the author and his friends climbed Mount Hua ten years ago? 3．How did the author and his friends feel after reaching “Yaozi Fanshen”? 4．How many peaks of Mount Hua did the author and his friends climb in the end? 5．What can you learn from the underlined sentence? 【答案】1．A writer. 2．Rainy. 3．Tired but proud./They felt tired but proud. 4．Three. 5．We should work hard./We shouldn’t choose an easy way./We should choose a harder way. 【导语】本文作者回忆了自己攀登华山的经历，告诉我们，道路越艰难，回报越丰厚。 1．根据第一段“One day last month, I was talking to my writer friend Alex about writing.”可知，Alex是一名作家。故填A writer. 2．根据第四段“My friends and I were halfway up Mount Hua after a short bus ride. It was a rainy day, ...”可知，作者和他的朋友十年前爬华山的那天，是下着雨的。故填Rainy. 3．根据第五段“We were very tired. But we felt proud.”可知，当作者和她的朋友到达鹞子翻身时，他们虽然很累，但是感到很自豪。故填Tired but proud./They felt tired but proud. 4．根据第六段“We finally climbed three peaks of Mount Hua that day.”可知，作者和他的朋友们最后爬了三座华山山峰。故填Three. 5．开放性题目，答案不唯一，言之有理即可。故填We should work hard./We shouldn’t choose an easy way./We should choose a harder way. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 1 Past and present 单元话题阅读回答问题练习 基础语篇巩固练 （23-24八年级下·江苏扬州·期末）阅读下列短文，根据短文中的信息回答问题。(每题答案不超过5个词) “Even the hardest life must be lived brightly!” This is one of the famous lines from the hit TV show To the Wonder (《我的阿勒泰》).

I was the third of five sons. My childhood was very happy. I liked going to school and learning new things. But I often daydreamed about going to sea. One day, Father asked, “Lemuel, have you thought about your future? I think you would be a good doctor.” I wanted to please him, so I said, “Yes, Father. I’ll go to Cambridge University and study medicine.” But as I spoke, I was thinking, “At university, I can also learn things that will be useful to a sailor.” After several years of study, I became a doctor. Not long after, I asked my sweetheart, Mary, to marry me. Before long, we had children, a boy and a girl. They gave us great joy. I enjoyed being a doctor for the first few years. But then I became bored, and ideas of travel filled my mind. I imagined going to far-off places and seeing wonderful new things. “Mary,” I said one day, “I need more adventures in my life. The captain of a ship about to sail has offered me a job as the ship’s doctor. I don’t know how long the journey will take, but I promise I will return. And when I do, I’ll tell you and the children all about my adventures.” So in 1699, I set sail on the Antelope from Bristol. That city is a large and very old port in the southwest of England. The captain was a good man and had sailed a great deal! “Welcome aboard. Doctor Gulliver,” he said, “First we’ll be sailing down the Atlantic Ocean and around the coast of Africa. Then we’ll sail through the Indian Ocean to the South Seas.” Our journey went well until one morning, somewhere near Tasmania in the South Pacific Ocean. “I don’t like the look of those clouds,” the captain said, “I think a storm is coming.” Within an hour, a big storm began. The sea rose in great, angry waves much taller than the Antelope. The wind, now as strong as a hurricane, made a terrible sound. “The wind is blowing the ship off course!” shouted the captain. “Look out!” —Adapted from Gulliver’s Travels 阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。(每题答案不超过7个词) 1．Why did Gulliver agree to be a doctor? 2．What was Gulliver’s job on the ship? 3．How old was Gulliver when he first started his adventure to the sea? 4．Did the journey go well after they arrived near Tasmania? 5．What do you think of Gulliver according to the passage? （24-25八年级上·江苏连云港·期中）阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题，每题答案不超过5个单词。 Do you live in a city? Do you know how cities began? Long long ago, the world had only a few thousand people. These people moved (搬迁) from one place to another. They moved over the land (陆地), hunting animals for food. No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did, their lives changed. They did not have to move houses any more. They could stay in one place and grow it. People began to live near each other, so the first village (村庄) grew. Many people came to work in the villages, and these villages became larger and larger. Then people had machines, life in the villages changed again. People built factories (工厂). More and more people lived near the factories. So the villages grew into cities. Some of them grew very big. Today, it’s strange that some people are moving back to small villages. Can you tell me why? 1．How many people were there in the world long long ago? 2．What did the villages grow into after people built factories? 3．Why did people move from place to place long long ago? 4．Who knows when people learned about growing food? 5．In your opinion, Why are some people moving back to small villages? 重难语篇拔高练 （24-25八年级上·江苏无锡·期中）阅读短文，回答问题，每小题不超过6个单词。 One day last month, I was talking to my writer friend Alex about writing. At the end of our conversation, I asked him, “As a writer, you must enjoy writing, right?” “Not always,” he said. He thought for a moment and added, “I enjoy writing when it gives me a sense of pride.” “You know,” Alex went on, “some articles are harder to write than others. Sometimes, I’m not sure if the readers will like my article. I try to write as well as I can. When I finally look at my work, I feel good about myself.” Alex’s answer made me think of a trip ten years ago. My friends and I were halfway up Mount Hua after a short bus ride. It was a rainy day, and the mountain is famous for its steepness. As we looked up at its peaks (山顶), some of us thought of giving up. “You’ll feel sorry about your decision,” our guide said when he encouraged (鼓励) us to keep going. Soon, we arrived at “Yaozi Fanshen (鹞子翻身)”. It’s the most famous and challenging attraction on East Peak. We climbed up the almost vertical (垂直的) rock face (岩壁) by pulling at the iron chains (铁链). We were very tired. But we felt proud. We finally climbed three peaks of Mount Hua that day. In some places, we even took the steeper way. We found that the more difficult the climb was, the prouder we felt. Some mountains now provide visitors with an easier way up — a ride on an escalator (自动扶梯). But just as it is in writing, for some things in our lives, the harder way brings better rewards (回报). 1．What is Alex? 2．What was the weather like when the author and his friends climbed Mount Hua ten years ago? 3．How did the author and his friends feel after reaching “Yaozi Fanshen”? 4．How many peaks of Mount Hua did the author and his friends climb in the end? 5．What can you learn from the underlined sentence? 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
