期末复习之阅读理解20篇 （Units 1-8单元话题） Unit 1单元话题 Even in more rural or open areas like Scotland, the newer houses are so small but expensively. Compared to England, Scotland has so much space for much bigger homes like those in the U.S. or Australia, but people there choose to build small homes that look really out of place in the countryside. What’s more, the prices are so high. Why? We are a small country; lend suitable for building is expensive. The price of land is an important part in house prices. Also, in Britain, most houses are built of brick, so labour costs (人力成本) are high. When I visited the U.S., I noted that many of the new houses were built of timber and didn’t have slates (石板) or tiled roofs (用瓦平铺的屋顶). This is why when tornadoes (龙卷风) hit, houses there are blown away. Because of the housing market and prices, I am back for good in France, after 10 years of working in the U.K. For £130,000, you can at least get a three-to four-bedroom cottage and lots of land in France. You might Google “British country houses images” for some nice pictures of bigger houses. There is a huge variety of styles and sizes of houses in the U.K. well worth a look. In the past, nobody could afford bigger houses. And it’s cheaper when you have less space to heat. Remember that it’s not a warm country. If you have been to the U.K. , you will see how crowded it is around cities and towns. There is no room for large houses. What’s more, energy is very expensive in the U.K. and it is cold in winter, so a large house costs a lot of money to heat. 1．According to Berry, what causes Britain to have small but expensive houses? ①Limited land.          ②High labour costs. ③A large population.     ④High prices of land suitable for building. A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 2．According to the article, why is Sue back in France? A．She got tired of living in the U.K. B．She has found a better job in France. C．She already has a big house in France. D．She thinks the house prices in the U.K. are too high. 3．Who lists lower energy costs as a benefit of a smaller house? A．Sue and Kim. B．Kim and Chris. C．Berry and Chris. D．Berry and Tiffany. In Shenzhen, many rooftops (外屋顶) become sky farms. On the sky farms, people grow flowers, fruits, and vegetables. These farms help people get close to nature in the city. At the Shenzhen Lily Flower Town, there’s a special sky farm. It doesn’t use earth (土壤). Workers grow plants in special water solutions (溶液). The farm opened in 2024 and works with local communities and schools to help people learn about plants. If you stay at a hotel (酒房) and you can pick fresh herbs (草料) on a sky farm on its roof, how fantastic it will be! Visitors can just do that at the Yun Resort Shenzhen Longcheer. And the herbs can be used to cook special dishes then. Even schools are joining the fun. One school has built a rooftop garden for learning. Students can take part in farming activities as part of their labour practice (劳动实践) classes. Xia Yufan, a student, says she can learn things that teachers don’t teach in a classroom. “I can watch how the seeds sprout (种子发芽) and grow little by little. It feels great,” she says. But it’s not just farms up there. Some rooftops turn into coffee shops, outdoor movie theatres, and even places to camp! These special rooftops are like sky gardens for city people to enjoy nature and learn new things, high above the busy streets below. 1．The sky farm at the Shenzhen Lily Flower Town is special because of its ________.

Unit 4单元话题 Born in 1995 into a family of Tonghua porcelain (瓷器) craftsmen, Ye Hao naturally fell in love with this art. He has kept practicing his skills for 10 years, bringing new life to it. Seeing the number of people with Tonghua skills drop greatly in Chaozhou, Ye felt responsible (有责任) for learning and protecting the art. Ye began learning it in high school, believing that every Tonghua porcelain piece has a life of its own. During a winter holiday, when Ye was practicing carving flowers with his grandpa, his grandpa tried to teach him and laughed at the cracks (裂缝) in the flowers he made. “My grandpa told me that I had no feeling for the craft, but I didn’t take it to heart at that time, but now I get to know he was hoping that I could practice more,” Ye said. He came to understand that moisture (水分) in the clay is important, as dry clay can easily break. After learning all the skills, Ye said his biggest job lies in designing. Since Tonghua porcelain features (以……为特色) over 10,000 holes of different shapes, designing them needs careful thoughts of their sizes and structures (结构). If a hole is car ved too large, it can easily break during firing. Ye began to combine (结合) Tonghua porcelain with everyday things and his hobbies. For example, he designed a porcelain brooch (胸针) in the shape of a hand-painted rose. This brooch became a special souvenir chosen by the Guangdong government. As an animation (动画) lover, Ye also designed a vase with small porcelain figures from the animation The Outcast (《弃儿》). These vases mix traditional art with popular culture. Ye said he would keep looking for ways to bring the art into everyday life and show it to more people using fresh designs. 1．When did Ye Hao start learning Tonghua porcelain skills? A．In 1995.

This documentary becomes very popular. Because of this, thirty schools start to teach folk art in their classes. Now, students get a great chance (机会) to learn things like paper-cutting, embroidery and lots of other fun skills. The director (导演), Zhang Wei says, “Folk art isn’t old.

A beautiful bird and a tortoise are good friends. The bird lives in a tree by the banks of the river, and the tortoise has his home there too. They are neighbors. Every day, after the bird flies down and has a drink of water, he dances near the river to make the tortoise friend happy. One day, a bird-catcher catches the bird and is about to take him away to the market. The unhappy bird asks the catcher to allow (允许) him to say goodbye to his friend, the tortoise.

To his surprise, the tortoise then dives into the water and in a few seconds comes up with a nice pearl. As this is beyond (超越) his hopes, the bird-catcher lets the bird go at once. A short time later, the man comes back and tells the tortoise that he has not paid enough for his friend, and plans to catch the bird again unless (除非) another bigger and nicer pearl is given to him. The tortoise is very angry with the man. After the bird is set free, the tortoise helps his friend fly to a far-away forest. “Well,” says the tortoise, “If you insist on (坚持) having another pearl, give the first one to me and I will fish another one for you.” Because of his greed (贪婪), the bird-catcher gives the pearl to the tortoise, who swims away with it saying, “I am no fool to take one and give two!” The tortoise then disappears (消失) into the water quickly, leaving the bird-catcher without a single pearl. 1．How does the bird-catcher want to deal with the bird at first?

But before he can eat it, he has to wash his hands. He hides (藏) the bean on a bridge and flies down to the river below to clean up. “I just can’t wait for my wonderful breakfast, ” the sparrow says to himself. Then he makes his way back up to the bridge. “I won’t have to work for a week! ” But when he gets back to his hiding place, he can’t find the bean! As the sparrow flies around looking for his lost treasure, he sees a farmer coming over the bridge. “Excuse me, can you help me find my bean? ” the sparrow asks. “Please, do I look like I have time to find a tiny bean? Find it yourself,” says the farmer as he walks away. The sparrow sees a soldier (士兵) coming over the bridge. He asks the soldier the same question. “Please, little bird, I have no time for you,” he answers and walks on. Then a minister (大臣) comes walking by, but before the sparrow can even ask, he laughs and walks away. The little bird almost gives up hope, when the king comes up the bridge, riding on an elephant. The sparrow repeats (重复) his question, but the king doesn’t take a look at him. The sparrow sits on the bridge, hungry and sad. An ant comes by.

He calls the minister over and the minister orders the soldier.

Compared to England, Scotland has so much space for much bigger homes like those in the U.S. or Australia, but people there choose to build small homes that look really out of place in the countryside. What’s more, the prices are so high. Why? We are a small country; lend suitable for building is expensive. The price of land is an important part in house prices. Also, in Britain, most houses are built of brick, so labour costs (人力成本) are high. When I visited the U.S., I noted that many of the new houses were built of timber and didn’t have slates (石板) or tiled roofs (用瓦平铺的屋顶). This is why when tornadoes (龙卷风) hit, houses there are blown away. Because of the housing market and prices, I am back for good in France, after 10 years of working in the U.K. For £130,000, you can at least get a three-to four-bedroom cottage and lots of land in France. You might Google “British country houses images” for some nice pictures of bigger houses. There is a huge variety of styles and sizes of houses in the U.K. well worth a look. In the past, nobody could afford bigger houses. And it’s cheaper when you have less space to heat. Remember that it’s not a warm country. If you have been to the U.K. , you will see how crowded it is around cities and towns. There is no room for large houses. What’s more, energy is very expensive in the U.K. and it is cold in winter, so a large house costs a lot of money to heat. 1．According to Berry, what causes Britain to have small but expensive houses? ①Limited land.          ②High labour costs. ③A large population.     ④High prices of land suitable for building. A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 2．According to the article, why is Sue back in France? A．She got tired of living in the U.K. B．She has found a better job in France. C．She already has a big house in France. D．She thinks the house prices in the U.K. are too high. 3．Who lists lower energy costs as a benefit of a smaller house? A．Sue and Kim. B．Kim and Chris. C．Berry and Chris. D．Berry and Tiffany. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 【导语】本文主要讨论了英国房屋面积小但价格高的原因，并对比了其他国家的情况。 1．细节理解题。根据“We are a small country; land suitable for building is expensive. The price of land is an important part in house prices. Also, in Britain, most houses are built of brick, so labour costs are high.”可知，英国土地有限，适合建筑的土地价格高，且劳动力成本高。因此导致英国房屋面积小但价格高的原因是有限的土地、高劳动力成本和适合建筑的土地价格高。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Because of the housing market and prices, I am back for good in France, after 10 years of working in the U.K. For £130,000, you can at least get a three-to four-bedroom cottage and lots of land in France.”可知，由于房地产市场和房价的原因，在英国工作了10年之后，Sue永远地回到了法国。在法国，花13万英镑，至少可以买到一套三到四居室的别墅和大片土地。因此，Sue回到法国是因为英国的由于住房价格太高。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“And it’s cheaper when you have less space to heat. Remember that it’s not a warm country.”和“What’s more, energy is very expensive in the U.K. and it is cold in winter, so a large house costs a lot of money to heat.”可知，Kim和Chris都提到了小房子在能源成本上的优势。故选B。 In Shenzhen, many rooftops (外屋顶) become sky farms.

It doesn’t use earth (土壤). Workers grow plants in special water solutions (溶液).”可知，深圳百合花小镇的空中农场因其种植植物的方式而与众不同。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“If you stay at a hotel (酒房) and you can pick fresh herbs (草料) on a sky farm on its roof, how fantastic it will be! Visitors can just do that at the Yun Resort Shenzhen Longcheer.”可知，the Yun Resort Shenzhen Longcheer是一家酒店的名字。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“Xia Yufan, a student, says she can learn things that teachers don’t teach in a classroom. ‘I can watch how the seeds sprout (种子发芽) and grow little by little. It feels great,’ she says.”可知，学生可以学到在课堂上学不到的东西，可以看到种子是如何发芽并逐渐生长的，由此推知，学生们享受种植植物的乐趣。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了深圳市屋顶利用的新趋势，特别是将屋顶转变为空中农场的现象。这些空中农场不仅种植花卉、水果和蔬菜，帮助城市居民亲近自然，还成为教育和实践的新场所，因此本文主要讲述了人们以创造性的方式利用屋顶。故选D。 Unit 2单元话题 In the heart of our community sits a lovely little coffee shop—Smile Cafe.

He has kept practicing his skills for 10 years, bringing new life to it. Seeing the number of people with Tonghua skills drop greatly in Chaozhou, Ye felt responsible (有责任) for learning and protecting the art. Ye began learning it in high school, believing that every Tonghua porcelain piece has a life of its own. During a winter holiday, when Ye was practicing carving flowers with his grandpa, his grandpa tried to teach him and laughed at the cracks (裂缝) in the flowers he made. “My grandpa told me that I had no feeling for the craft, but I didn’t take it to heart at that time, but now I get to know he was hoping that I could practice more,” Ye said. He came to understand that moisture (水分) in the clay is important, as dry clay can easily break. After learning all the skills, Ye said his biggest job lies in designing. Since Tonghua porcelain features (以……为特色) over 10,000 holes of different shapes, designing them needs careful thoughts of their sizes and structures (结构). If a hole is car ved too large, it can easily break during firing. Ye began to combine (结合) Tonghua porcelain with everyday things and his hobbies. For example, he designed a porcelain brooch (胸针) in the shape of a hand-painted rose. This brooch became a special souvenir chosen by the Guangdong government. As an animation (动画) lover, Ye also designed a vase with small porcelain figures from the animation The Outcast (《弃儿》). These vases mix traditional art with popular culture. Ye said he would keep looking for ways to bring the art into everyday life and show it to more people using fresh designs. 1．When did Ye Hao start learning Tonghua porcelain skills? A．In 1995. B．During a winter holiday C．In high school. D．After he graduated from university 2．What problem did Ye Hao face when carving flowers with his grandpa? A．The flowers were too small. B．The clay was too wet to shape. C．His designs lacked creativity. D．The flowers had cracks. 3．As it is described in the article, which of the following may be a piece of Tonghua porcelain? A．B．C．D． 4．What might Ye Hao do next to introduce Tonghua porcelain to more people? A．Stop making traditional pieces. B．Teach the craft to children in schools. C．Focus on designing for the government. D．Keep the way of making Tonghua porcelain secret. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文主要讲述叶昊通过学习，将通花瓷器与日常用品和自己的爱好结合起来，创造了精美的瓷器艺术品。 1．细节理解题。根据“Ye began learning it in high school, believing that every Tonghua porcelain piece has a life of its own.”可知，叶昊高中时开始学习通花瓷器技术，故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“During a winter holiday, when Ye was practicing carving flowers with his grandpa, his grandpa tried to teach him and laughed at the cracks (裂缝) in the flowers he made.”可知，他制作的花朵上有裂缝。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“Since Tonghua porcelain features (以……为特色) over 10,000 holes of different shapes, designing them needs careful thoughts of their sizes and structures (结构)”可知，由于通花瓷器有10000多个不同形状的孔，设计它们需要仔细考虑它们的尺寸和结构，故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“Seeing the number of people with Tonghua skills drop greatly in Chaozhou, Ye felt responsible (有责任) for learning and protecting the art.”可知，看到潮州拥有通花技能的人数大幅下降，叶觉得有责任学习和保护这门艺术。所以可推测出他会在学校里教孩子们手艺来介绍通花瓷器。故选B。 “Heritage on Fingertips” is quite an interesting documentary (纪录片) about Chinese folk art.

What’s that sound coming from the forest at night? It’s an owl (猫头鹰), of course! The owl is different from all other birds in so many ways. All day long, the owl is sitting on a tree sleeping or trying to snooze, because it’s sometimes hard to close the eyes with all the sounds coming from little birds and animals in the forest! The owl gets food only at night. When evening comes, the animals all get to a safe place. The owl opens its big and round eyes. Any little animal around had better be careful! The owl usually eats small animals like mice, but it also gets birds if it can get! The owl uses its great hearing to find its food, and then it turns its head from side to side, using its eyes to follow the animal. Finally, it flies down to get the animal. Owls have special and soft feathers (羽毛), so they can fly without making any sound. Owls are such good hunters (猎手) that they can even catch a fly in the air! The owl is quiet most of the time. But when you get too close to its home, it will make sound to keep you away. The owl is a great mother. A mother owl will even hurt people if it thinks its babies are in danger! The owl has no teeth, so it eats an animal without chewing (咀嚼).
