学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 专题08 阅读回答问题15篇 （紧贴新教材主题，押题预测） Read the passage below and answer the following questions: Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means “holy（神圣的）evening”, and it comes every October 31, the evening before All Saints’ Day. However, it’s not really a church holiday. It’s a holiday for children. Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put lights inside. It looks like there is a person looking out of the pumpkin! Some children put on strange masks（面具）and frightening clothes on Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters（怪物）. They carry boxes for UNICEF（联合国儿童基金会）. They ask for money to help poor children all around the world. Of course, every time they help UNICEF, they usually receive a treat（款待）for themselves, too. 1．When is Halloween? 2．What kind of holiday is it? 3．What do children do with the pumpkins? 4．On Halloween, what do children put on? 5．What do children ask for? In most UK schools, students must wear a school uniform (校服), Why? First, uniforms can stop students from competing (攀比) with each other, Next, wearing school uniforms can help students put all their heart into their studies. Finally, when everyone wears the same, nobody will spend time thinking about what to wear every morning. But not everyone thinks so. Some parents say school uniforms are not good in quality (质量) but cost a lot. Some students say they don’t look cool in the same uniforms. They want to look different! Some schools don’t have uniforms, but they have their special dress rules. The rules tell students what kinds of clothes they should wear and what they mustn’t. For example, girls mustn’t wear skirts which are too short; boys mustn’t wear jackets which have bad words on them. If someone doesn’t follow the dress rules, he/she mustn’t go to school. They must change clothes before going to school again. So others say, “Why don’t we all wear the school uniforms?” 1．Must most English students wear a school uniform on weekdays? 2．Why are some parents unhappy about school uniforms? 3．What mustn’t girls wear according to some school dress rules? 4．How can the student go to school again after he/she breaks the dress rules? 5．Is it a good idea to wear a school uniform? Why or why not? There are many traditional (传统的) festivals in China. The Lantern Festival is an important festival. It’s the fifteenth day of the first lunar (阴历) month. It comes after the Spring Festival. The weather is usually cold in Harbin. People can often see a full moon in the sky on that day. Today is the Lantern Festival. I have a big dinner together with my family. People eat sweet dumplings for dinner. The sweet dumpling’s Chinese name is tangyuan. It’s a kind of special food for this festival. After dinner, I go to the street. I see many beautiful lanterns in the street. Some children light the lantern. They have fun. We like guessing the riddles (谜语) on the lantern. I get this riddle from a lantern. 根据语篇内容，回答问题。（每小题答案不超过4个词） 1．Which day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival? 2．What’s the sweet dumpling’s Chinese name? 3．Where does the writer see many beautiful lanterns? 4．Are the Lantern Festival and the Spring Festival in the same lunar month? 5．What’s the answer to the riddle? Do you obey the rules in your school? How do you like your school rules? A lot of school rules are similar around the world, but some are different. Every school has their own rules. There are some rules in Japanese schools. The students are not allowed to dye(染) their hair and should keep the hair Japanese black color. They are not allowed to wear earrings, either. Almost all schools required students to wear uniforms in the past but now half of the schools require uniforms. The students feel happy to wear all kinds of clothes. The students mustn’t be late for school. If they are late, they can’t get into the school gate because the school gate is closed. In Japan, students are not allowed to have part-time jobs because they may not concentrate on their study. American schools have their own rules. For example, in Morton High School, students are not allowed to choose their own clothes. They must get to school and leave school on time. They must wear sports shoes in gym class. They should keep quiet in the school bus. In America, the students can have part-time jobs in their free time. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．Are you allowed to wear earrings if you are a student in Japan? 2．Why are the students not allowed to have part-time jobs in Japan? 3．Japanese schools and Morton High School don’t have the same rule, do they? 4．What must the students in Morton High School wear in gym class? 5．There must be some rules in your school. Give one example, please. I am a junior high school student. I’m in China now. My name is Kelly Smith. I live with my parents, two sisters and a brother in Beijing. My parents teach English in No.8 Junior High School. I am in the same school. I am happy here, because I like my new school and my classmates a lot. They are very kind to me. They like to play with me because I look different from them. I have blue eyes and long brown hair. They often say I look like a doll. I speak English well, so lots of the students like to talk with me to improve (提高) their English. 根据语篇内容，回答问题。(每小题答案不超过5个词) 1．How many people are there in Kelly’s family? 2．What does Kelly’s parents do? 3．How are Kelly’s classmates to her? 4．What colour is Kelly’s hair? 5．What do students say Kelly look like? When was the last time you left home without your mobile phone? Can you imagine yourself living a month, or even a year without checking your mobile phone from time to time? As a busy modern person with lots of social connections, plans and responsibilities, I just cannot afford to not be in touch with the rest of the world. Staying connected to other people is a big part of my life. However, sometimes it can be bothersome. One day I discovered I was terribly tired out. I tried turning notifications off. But the fear of missing out something important made me check the phone more often than before. So, I simply stopped using my phone. Well, to tell the truth, it was not simple at all. For the first couple of days, I had a big fear that all of my friends would soon forget about me. When I had a free moment, I had no idea what to get myself distracted with, and the worries mixed with boredom kept bothering me. However, after three weeks without a mobile phone, I started noticing changes—changes which I liked, and which drove me to not just continue the experiment, but in fact to reorganize some of my habits. First of all, I noticed that I became much more focused. Before, while doing something, I would often find myself wondering what was going on online. After a month of staying away from my mobile phone, I found that the urge was already not that strong and that my ability to focus improved. I discovered that the world is a beautiful place. Before, I would look at it through my camera mostly: take a photo, post it, get some likes. Now, I saw beautiful people walking around and I sensed the seasons change. I could understand the actual beauty of the world, and I did not need anyone else to prove the value of this beauty through likes or shares. Now, as 100 days have passed, I can say that the experiment was worth it. I am planning to stay away from my phone for as long as possible. 1．What made the writer check the phone more often than before? 2．When did the writer start noticing his changes? 3．What does the writer plan to do with his phone after the experiment? 4．Would you like to follow the writer’s example? Why or why not? Schoolwork is becoming more and more difficult for students now. Recently, some new rules (规定) have been made to make them have a happy school life. These new rules are made for schools in Jiangsu province. They include some parts. For example, teachers of primary and junior high schools can’t reveal(公布) students’ test scores. They should use letters like A and B to grade students’ test results. Because of COVID-19, students spent a long holiday at home. After the new term started, some schools might give more homework or classes to students. But the new rules ask schools not to do that. At the same time, students should have music, sports and art classes as usual. People have different ideas about the new rules. Yin Fei, a college professor, says some students are not good at studying, but they can do well in other things. So it is good to cancel(取消) scores. But Peng Ming, a teacher in Nanjing, worries about that. He thinks scores are still important. Students need to get high scores to enter good colleges and parents care about their children’s scores. So the new rules are not so good for them. 根据短文内容回答问题。 1．In which place can’t teachers reveal students’ test scores? 2．How should teachers there grade students’ test results? 3．Can schools there cancel P. E. classes in the new term? 4．What does Yin Fei think of the new rules? 5．Why does Peng Ming worry about the new rules? 根据短文内容简要回答下面的问题。 In order to improve students’ health and reduce students’ pressure, our country made some rules. Here are some of them. Firstly, homework for middle school students should take no more than 90 minutes. They can finish most of the written homework at school so that after school they only spend a little time finishing the rest. Some students can still go to sleep on time even though they don’t finish their homework until bedtime. Then they will have more time to relax. Secondly, mobile phones mustn’t be brought to class because students are easily absent-minded (心不在焉的) from the lesson. Students must control the time on electronic products to protect their eyesight. They shouldn’t lose themselves in the Internet. Thirdly, students should listen carefully and go over lessons in time so that they can master the right ways of learning. Fourthly, parents should often talk to their children, pay attention to their feelings and help them develop good learning and life habits.

Foreigners join in the joy of Xishuangbanna’s Water Splashing Festival In Xishuangbanna, a region in Yunnan Province, China, there is a fun tradition called the Water Splashing Festival. The more water people splash (泼，溅) on you, the luckier and happier you will be—this festival brings smiles and good luck to everyone who takes part. Foreign visitors also enjoy the celebrations, making the festival a truly international event. Melissa Baidak, a visitor from Russia, was surprised when people started splashing water on her. At first, she was a little scared, but soon she joined in and had a lot of fun. “It reminded (使想起) me of my childhood,” she said with a smile. Melissa is a doctoral student at Beijing Foreign Studies University. During her visit to Xishuangbanna, she wore a traditional Dai dress and tried many local foods. She said the most special moments were releasing Sky Lanterns at night and splashing water on others. “It was amazing to see so many lanterns in the sky, like stars twinkling (闪耀) above,” she said. The Water Splashing Festival, usually celebrated in mid-April, is one of the most important festivals for the Dai people—an ethnic group (民族) mostly living in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province. They celebrate the festival as their new year with activities like water splashing, releasing (放) lanterns, and dragon boat races. The Water Splashing Festival also draws (吸引) many tourists from neighbouring countries, where similar celebrations are held. Htike Lwin Ko, a 37-year-old from Myanmar, said his home country also celebrates the Water Splashing Festival, which usually lasts (持续) four days and people are allowed a 10-day break. “We have some customs similar to Xishuangbanna, like releasing Sky Lanterns,” he said. “But we usually fly lanterns around October.” The Water Splashing Festival continues to be a highlight (亮点) in Xishuangbanna, drawing visitors from around the world to experience the joy and culture of the Dai people. 1．The Water Splashing Festival is an international event, isn’t it? 2．How did Melissa Baidak feel at first when people splashed water on her? 3．According to Melissa Baidak, what were the most special moments? 4．When is the Water Splashing Festival usually celebrated? 5．How long does the Water Splashing Festival in Myanmar usually last? 6．According to the passage, why does the Water Splashing Festival draw many visitors from around the world? Give 2 reasons. (1) (2) Many people find ghosts and death scary, but some countries have festivals to celebrate these things. In China, the Zhongyuan Festival, or the Ghost Festival, is celebrated on the 15th day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar. On this day, families light lanterns to guide the spirits of the dead back home. However, people often avoid going out at night during the festival, fearing that ghosts might harm them. Both the Zhongyuan Festival and the Qingming Festival honour the dead, but they are different. During the Zhongyuan Festival, all spirits are remembered, while the Qingming Festival is only for honouring one’s own ancestors. People believe spirits return home during the Ghost Festival, but not during the Qingming Festival. In Chinese culture, death is seen as a serious thing. However, in other cultures, death is sometimes viewed differently. In the United States, Halloween is a time to remember the dead, but it’s also a fun celebration with costumes and trick-or-treating. In Mexico, the Day of the Dead is a time to connect with the dead through dolls and stories, and there are even parties. Whether we like it or not, death is a part of life. Understanding it can help us cherish our time and live our best lives. 1．What is the Zhongyuan Festival also known as? 2．When is the Zhongyuan Festival celebrated in the Chinese lunar calendar? 3．How do families help the spirits of the dead find their way home during the Zhongyuan Festival? 4．Why do people avoid going out at night during the Zhongyuan Festival? 5．What is the difference between the Zhongyuan Festival and the Qingming Festival? 6．Death is seen as a serious thing in Chinese culture, isn’t it? 7．How do you think celebrating festivals about death helps people cope with it? 试卷第12页，共13页 试卷第13页，共13页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 专题08 阅读回答问题15篇 （紧贴新教材主题，押题预测） Read the passage below and answer the following questions: Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year.

Can you imagine yourself living a month, or even a year without checking your mobile phone from time to time? As a busy modern person with lots of social connections, plans and responsibilities, I just cannot afford to not be in touch with the rest of the world. Staying connected to other people is a big part of my life. However, sometimes it can be bothersome. One day I discovered I was terribly tired out. I tried turning notifications off. But the fear of missing out something important made me check the phone more often than before. So, I simply stopped using my phone. Well, to tell the truth, it was not simple at all. For the first couple of days, I had a big fear that all of my friends would soon forget about me. When I had a free moment, I had no idea what to get myself distracted with, and the worries mixed with boredom kept bothering me. However, after three weeks without a mobile phone, I started noticing changes—changes which I liked, and which drove me to not just continue the experiment, but in fact to reorganize some of my habits. First of all, I noticed that I became much more focused. Before, while doing something, I would often find myself wondering what was going on online. After a month of staying away from my mobile phone, I found that the urge was already not that strong and that my ability to focus improved. I discovered that the world is a beautiful place. Before, I would look at it through my camera mostly: take a photo, post it, get some likes. Now, I saw beautiful people walking around and I sensed the seasons change. I could understand the actual beauty of the world, and I did not need anyone else to prove the value of this beauty through likes or shares. Now, as 100 days have passed, I can say that the experiment was worth it. I am planning to stay away from my phone for as long as possible. 1．What made the writer check the phone more often than before? 2．When did the writer start noticing his changes? 3．What does the writer plan to do with his phone after the experiment? 4．Would you like to follow the writer’s example? Why or why not? 【答案】1．The fear of missing out something important. 2．After three weeks without a mobile phone. 3．The writer plans to stay away from his phone for as long as possible. 4．Yes. My phone often makes me distracted. Without it, I can concentrate better and enjoy the real life more./No. My phone is very important for talking with my family and friends. And I need it to study. So I can’t live without it. 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者100天不使用手机的经历，一开始不使用手机会让人很焦虑，但是三周后发生了很多可喜的变化，作者注意力更集中，可以更好地发现这个世界的美。 1．根据“But the fear of missing out something important made me check the phone more often than before.” 可知，作者尝试关掉手机通知后，由于担心错过重要的事情，反而比以前更频繁地查看手机，故填The fear of missing out something important. 2．根据“However, after three weeks without a mobile phone, I started noticing changes—changes which I liked, and which drove me to not just continue the experiment, but in fact to reorganize some of my habits.” 可知，在作者不用手机三周后，他开始注意到一些变化，故填After three weeks without a mobile phone. 3．根据“Now, as 100 days have passed, I can say that the experiment was worth it.

Recently, some new rules (规定) have been made to make them have a happy school life. These new rules are made for schools in Jiangsu province. They include some parts. For example, teachers of primary and junior high schools can’t reveal(公布) students’ test scores. They should use letters like A and B to grade students’ test results. Because of COVID-19, students spent a long holiday at home. After the new term started, some schools might give more homework or classes to students. But the new rules ask schools not to do that. At the same time, students should have music, sports and art classes as usual. People have different ideas about the new rules. Yin Fei, a college professor, says some students are not good at studying, but they can do well in other things. So it is good to cancel(取消) scores. But Peng Ming, a teacher in Nanjing, worries about that. He thinks scores are still important. Students need to get high scores to enter good colleges and parents care about their children’s scores. So the new rules are not so good for them. 根据短文内容回答问题。 1．In which place can’t teachers reveal students’ test scores? 2．How should teachers there grade students’ test results? 3．Can schools there cancel P.

In China, the Zhongyuan Festival, or the Ghost Festival, is celebrated on the 15th day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar. On this day, families light lanterns to guide the spirits of the dead back home. However, people often avoid going out at night during the festival, fearing that ghosts might harm them. Both the Zhongyuan Festival and the Qingming Festival honour the dead, but they are different. During the Zhongyuan Festival, all spirits are remembered, while the Qingming Festival is only for honouring one’s own ancestors. People believe spirits return home during the Ghost Festival, but not during the Qingming Festival. In Chinese culture, death is seen as a serious thing. However, in other cultures, death is sometimes viewed differently. In the United States, Halloween is a time to remember the dead, but it’s also a fun celebration with costumes and trick-or-treating.
