期末复习之任务型阅读16篇 （Units 1-8单元话题） Unit 1单元话题 阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题。 My dream home is a flying home. I get the idea from the film Up (《飞屋环游记》). It is a wooden house, so it is light. And how can I make it fly? I plan to tie some helium balloons to the house. They can bring the house up into the air. It can fly for one hour at a time. It can take my family and me to a different place every season. The house is not very big in size. We only need six comfortable rooms—two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a dining room, and a bathroom. The house flies to warm places in winter and cool places in summer. Where can we get energy and water? We get energy from the sun and we collect rainwater to use. So it is a green house. I think it would be a cool home. But my parents say it is a crazy idea. They ask me what school I can study in if I live in that home. And they also say they must work. They cannot live in a different place every season. But I still hope my dream can come true one day. This is a great idea, right? Do you like the flying home? 1．Why is the house light? 2．How can the writer get water in the flying house? 3．What do you think of the writer’s idea? 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题，每个题目的答案不超过5个单词。 Do you know the saying “There is no place like home!” This is just another way of saying that home is a very special place.

It is believed that wax printing appeared in China as early as the Qin and Han dynasties and got popular in the Sui and Tang dynasties. There is an interesting story about how wax printing was invented. Once upon a time, a girl was fond of dyeing (染色) white cloth blue and purple. One day, while she was working, a bee landed on her cloth. She got the bee away and found there was beeswax (蜂蜡) on the cloth. After she dyed the cloth, she saw a round white mark on the cloth. It looked very pretty. Her finding later led to the use of wax in dyeing. Wax printing has many steps (步骤). First, draw some pictures of flowers, birds, fish, etc. on a piece of white cloth. Then use a special knife-like tool to spread melted (融化的) wax on the pictures. After that, put the cloth into a dye bath so that the unwaxed part take on the colour. Finally, wash the dyed cloth in boiling water and wait for the wax to melt, leaving clear pictures in white on the dyed cloth.

When talking about popular Chinese novels (长篇小说), Journey to the West often comes to mind. It is a classic novel by Wu Cheng’en and was published in the 16th century. Journey to the West is one of the most famous Chinese works in the West. Its popularity (受欢迎) has made it an inspiration (灵感) for many Western works. For example, Fred Ho, an American musician, wrote an opera called Journey Beyond the West: The New Adventures of Monkey. But why has Journey to the West been popular with Western readers for centuries? James Trapp is a writer from Britain. He thinks that the Monkey King is the reason for the novel’s popularity. “In many ways, the role Monkey King is like a folk hero,” Trapp wrote. The Monkey King is similar to Western folk heroes such as Robin Hood, Shakespeare’s Puck and Huckleberry Finn. However, he has been popular for much longer than many of these heroes. Journey to the West is widely known around the world and is translated into different languages. It is not only very useful to scholars of Chinese culture, but also a delight for any reader. 1．When was Journey to the West published? 2．Who wrote the opera called Journey Beyond the West? 3．Who does the underlined word “he” refer to? 4．What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us? 5．What do you think of Journey to the West?

When talking about popular Chinese novels (长篇小说), Journey to the West often comes to mind. It is a classic novel by Wu Cheng’en and was published in the 16th century. Journey to the West is one of the most famous Chinese works in the West. Its popularity (受欢迎) has made it an inspiration (灵感) for many Western works. For example, Fred Ho, an American musician, wrote an opera called Journey Beyond the West: The New Adventures of Monkey.
