2025-2026学年八年级上册英语单元测试 Unit2·提升卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：90分钟，满分：100分） 一、完形填空(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) Some students cheat (作弊) because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without 1 the time studying. Other students might feel that they can’t 2 the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, it isn’t a good idea. A student who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test 3 to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so that may can find some better ways together. Talking about these problems and 4 them out will help feel better than cheating. If a student gets caught cheating, the teacher may give a “zero” on the test, send him or her to the head teacher’s 5 , and call his or her parents. Worse than the 6 grade may be the feeling of having disappointed those people, like parents and teachers. A parent may worry that you are not an 7 person and a teacher might watch you more closely the next time you’re taking a test. There are plenty of reasons why a kid shouldn’t cheat, but some students have already cheated. If that’s you, it’s 8 too late to stop cheating. Cheating can become a 9 , but a student is always able to act better and make better 10 . It might help to talk the problem over with a parent, teacher, or friend. 1．A．taking B．using C．spending D．costing 2．A．write B．exercise C．pass D．expect 3．A．decides B．hopes C．refuses D．needs 4．A．breaking B．dreaming C．missing D．working 5．A．office B．school C．seat D．conversation 6．A．bad B．dangerous C．exciting D．good 7．A．out-going B．active C．interesting D．honest 8．A．always B．never C．once D．neither 9．A．menu B．medicine C．habit D．match 10．A．education B．decisions C．challenges D．risks 二、阅读理解(本大题共20小题，每小题2分，共40分) A Sometimes a little self-criticism (自我批评) is not a bad thing. We can learn much from our mistakes. However, too much of it may result in health problems. When self-criticism becomes too much, it can turn into negative self-talk. Negative self-talk is that little voice in your head. It says you are not good enough. Dr. Hugh, a scientist said that some good students who study hard usually do not do well in a test because of negative self-talk. Lindsay was one of Hugh’s best students. She came to class early, took part in discussions and did all her homework. However, she did poorly in exams. When Hugh asked her how she felt before a test, she told him she was very nervous. She was not sure that she knew the right answers. This is an example of negative self-talk. Dr. Hugh turned Lindsay’s negative self-talk into positive (积极的) questions. During a test, he told Lindsay to say to herself: Why do I remember everything I study for an exam? ★ ? Lindsay took his advice. Two weeks later, she took an exam in another class and scored 15 points higher than she had on an earlier exam. Four weeks later, she earned an “A” on the final exam in Hugh’s class. Dr. Hugh saw students work out fine with his method. And he does not just help his students. He also advises his friends and neighbors to give up negative self-talk in their life. He once said, “We can program ourselves for success in class or in life, or we can program ourselves for failure.” 11．How does the writer lead in the topic in paragraph 1? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving an example. C．By asking a question. D．By making a comparison. 12．Paragraph 3 is written to ________. A．introduce Lindsay B．show Dr. Huge’s success C．support (支撑) Dr. Hugh’s idea D．catch (吸引) readers’ interest 13．Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A．Why do I get my answers right B．Who can I ask for advice C．When should I solve the problem D．What difficulties will I face 14．The underlined words “his method” in paragraph 5 refers to ________. A．visiting Dr. Hugh more often B．using positive self-talk C．getting higher points in exams D．thinking about all the mistakes 15．What’s the structure of the passage? (①=paragraph 1 ②=paragraph 2, ...) A． B． C． D． B I have a question for all of us. Is all winning success? Winning is really, really fun. But I am here to share my idea: Winning does not always mean success. All around the world, we have created the win-at-all-cost culture. As a society, we honor the champion (冠军). We cheer for those people who win championships. Winning at all costs has become acceptable. We have become so focused (关注) on that end result instead of the process, and when it is a win, usually how we got there often gets little attention. We need to redefine (重新定义) success. Real success is developing champions in life for our world, win or lose. We may be able to plan our way to a win, but we can’t plan our way to success. Back to 1990, when I was first made the head coach of the UCLA Women’s Gymnastics Team, the best I could do was what other “successful”coaches had done. So, I became tough-talking and mean. I acted like a head coach whose only thought was to figure out how to win. After putting up with me for a few years, our team asked me for a team meeting. And for over two hours, they gave me examples of how my arrogance (傲慢) was hurtful. That was my time-out, and I chose to change. I found out that I needed to support our student players as whole human beings, not just players who won. It is so much easier to give orders than to actually figure out how to encourage someone to be better. And it takes a really long time to take root. The key was to develop trust through patience and honesty. Let’s think about what you are talking with your parents on the car ride home. Are they focusing on the end result? Are you excited to use that time to show you are a winner? All of you care too much about the end result instead of your steps of learning. We are all coaches in some ways. We all have the responsibility to develop champions in life for our world. That is what real success looks like, and that is what we call a win-win. 16．The writer introduced the topic by _______. A．asking a question B．showing some examples C．listing a few numbers D．comparing two different things 17．The underlined word “it” in the Paragraph 2 refers to (指代) _______. A．the process B．end result C．the champion D．real success 18．As the head coach, the writer chose to change because _______. A．other“successful”coaches asked him to do so B．he was trying so hard to figure out how to win C．he learnt to care more about players than winning D．he learnt he should only support players who won 19．According to the writer, which of the following is a real success in life? A．A kid who shows the medals and prizes he won to his parents. B．A player who tries to win a gold medal at the cost of his health. C．A coach who respects his members even though the team didn’t win. D．A parent who keeps asking about the grades his kid gets in the exams. 20．The structure of the passage is _______. A． B． C． D． C As the weather gets warmer, there are few things that are better to do than travel. But traveling might not be that fun for everyone, especially for those who have motion sickness (晕动症) . Motion sickness is also called travel sickness. It is a common experience for many people. Depending on how you travel, it can be called carsickness or seasickness. People with motion sickness feel very uncomfortable while they are in motion. They feel sick and dizzy, like the room around them won’t stop spinning (旋转). It is generally believed that motion sickness happens when your senses (感觉) become confused (困惑的) with each other, Scientific American reported. We use different parts of our body to sense movement. Our eyes tell us if we are moving. The inner ears (内耳) contain a special liquid that helps us sense our direction and balance. Our muscles react to movement. When you move around, these body parts work well together. But when you are in a car or an airplane, they get confused. Your inner ear signals that you’re moving, but your eyes say you’re sitting still (静止的) because you can’t see that you’re moving. This mismatch gives us motion sickness. But some people are less sensitive (敏感的) to motion sickness. This may be because they have certain genes (基因) that stop mismatching senses, Bethann Hromatka, a genetics expert from the US, told the Atlantic. Although there are many ways to deal with motion sickness, scientists believe that the key is to simply try to adapt to it. For example, some astronauts do special exercises that give them mild motion sickness. After a week or two, the astronauts become used to it and don’t feel uncomfortable anymore, Sam Puma, a NASA flight doctor, told the BBC． 21．What do we know about motion sickness? A．It is called carsickness when you travel by car. B．It happens to only a small number of people. C．It can make traveling more fun. D．It makes the room go around all the time. 22．How do people feel if they have motion sickness? A．Worried and angry. B．Sick and dizzy. C．Hungry. D．Sleepy. 23．Why do some people have motion sickness? A．Because their senses stop working. B．Because they lose their senses of direction. C．Because their eyes can’t see clearly. D．Because there is a mismatch among their senses. 24．What does the underlined phrase “adapt to” in paragraph 7 mean in Chinese ________? A．提高 B．适应 C．变异 D．筛选 25．The astronauts are mentioned to show that ________. A．it is impossible for others to deal with motion sickness. B．they can easily get used to motion sickness. C．special exercises can help deal with motion sickness. D．motion sickness has something to do with genes. 根据短文内容，从短文后的 A—F选项中，选出5个适当的选项补全短文。 Do you ever compare (比较) yourself with other people? 26 Accepting (接受) who you are can help you feel happier and more positive (积极的) about yourself. Self-acceptance means learning to accept the things that make you who you are, and taking notes of what you’re good at. Self-acceptance means caring about the parts of you that don’t show well, like being careless or untidy. 27 When you accept who you are, you worry less about things you can’t change. 28 Many young people may think they have to perform best. In fact, it’s not true. Some people may find letters or numbers hard to read, for example, but they might be talented in other places, like finding a creative way to work out problems. Learning to accept everything about yourself can also help you find what you’re really good at. 29 Maybe you’re good at cooking, or people find it easy to talk to you. Ask your friends for help. Also, try saying kind, positive things to yourself in a mirror every morning. Think up ways to pick yourself up, like taking a long bath or watching your favorite film. 30 A．We are all different in our own ways. B．Everyone has good and bad sides, and it’s OK not to be perfect. C．This makes you feel surer and more comfortable about yourself. D．You can also look after yourself by eating healthy food and getting enough sleep. E．To accept yourself, start by making a list of all the things you like about yourself. F．It’s a habit that includes (包括) being kind to yourself even when you make something wrong. 三、选词填空(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) be, beautiful, grow, I, pick, play, share, surprise, taste, well, when, work I am a mother of five children.

And I would hand out tasks. “Here: you water the onions, you dig the holes, and...” Soon they would be hot or their arms would be sore, and they would leave me to 33 . But during the last spring, while I was working in the garden, my 13-year-old son, Josiah noticed me. He picked up a tool and began helping. As a team, we finished the job in no time at all. I thanked Josiah, finding that I’d enjoyed 34 with him. The same thing happened—one or two of the children would appear and join in the gardening from time to time. 35 , I would feel that the work was lighter because of their help. One day, when I 36 the peas (豌豆) and having a taste alone, Abby saw me and ran over. I put several peas into her mouth. She just loved how 37 they were. “Ma ma, I want the others to try them, too.” Suddenly, I came to know I had been wrong for long. I’d tried to keep the happiness of gardening to myself, and here was a child who couldn’t wait 38 with others. “Sure, honey, let’s pick some. We’ll make a wonderful dinner.” Now I enjoy all of the garden’s 39 with the children.

We can learn much from our mistakes. However, too much of it may result in health problems. When self-criticism becomes too much, it can turn into negative self-talk. Negative self-talk is that little voice in your head. It says you are not good enough. Dr. Hugh, a scientist said that some good students who study hard usually do not do well in a test because of negative self-talk. Lindsay was one of Hugh’s best students. She came to class early, took part in discussions and did all her homework. However, she did poorly in exams. When Hugh asked her how she felt before a test, she told him she was very nervous. She was not sure that she knew the right answers. This is an example of negative self-talk. Dr. Hugh turned Lindsay’s negative self-talk into positive (积极的) questions. During a test, he told Lindsay to say to herself: Why do I remember everything I study for an exam? ★ ? Lindsay took his advice. Two weeks later, she took an exam in another class and scored 15 points higher than she had on an earlier exam. Four weeks later, she earned an “A” on the final exam in Hugh’s class. Dr. Hugh saw students work out fine with his method. And he does not just help his students. He also advises his friends and neighbors to give up negative self-talk in their life. He once said, “We can program ourselves for success in class or in life, or we can program ourselves for failure.” 11．How does the writer lead in the topic in paragraph 1? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving an example. C．By asking a question. D．By making a comparison. 12．Paragraph 3 is written to ________. A．introduce Lindsay B．show Dr. Huge’s success C．support (支撑) Dr. Hugh’s idea D．catch (吸引) readers’ interest 13．Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A．Why do I get my answers right B．Who can I ask for advice C．When should I solve the problem D．What difficulties will I face 14．The underlined words “his method” in paragraph 5 refers to ________. A．visiting Dr. Hugh more often B．using positive self-talk C．getting higher points in exams D．thinking about all the mistakes 15．What’s the structure of the passage? (①=paragraph 1 ②=paragraph 2, ...) A． B． C． D． 【答案】11．D 12．C 13．A 14．B 15．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了负面自我对话对学生成绩和自信心的影响，并通过Lindsay的故事展示了通过积极自我对话来提高成绩和恢复自信的方法。 11．推理判断题。根据“Sometimes a little self-criticism (自我批评) is not a bad thing.”及“However, too much of it may result in health problems.”可推断，作者通过比较的方式进入第1段的主题。故选D。 12．推理判断题。第三段主要介绍了Lindsay的情况，她虽然平时学习努力，但考试成绩不佳，原因是紧张和不自信，这正好支持了第二段中提到的“负面自我对话”和负面自我对话对学生成绩的影响，即Dr. Hugh的观点。因此，第三段的目的是支持Dr. Hugh的观点。故选C。 13．推理判断题。根据“Dr. Hugh turned Lindsay’s negative self-talk into positive (积极的) questions.”可知，Dr. Hugh把Lindsay消极的自言自语变成了积极的问题。而前文提到“During a test, he told Lindsay to say to herself: Why do I remember everything I study for an exam?”都是积极的自我对话，所以空格处也应是积极的自我提问。选项A“为什么我的答案是正确的”符合这一要求。故选A。 14．词义猜测题。根据“Dr. Hugh turned Lindsay’s negative self-talk into positive (积极的) questions.”、“Lindsay took his advice. Two weeks later, she took an exam in another class and scored 15 points higher than she had on an earlier exam. Four weeks later, she earned an ‘A’ on the final exam in Hugh’s class.”及“He also advises his friends and neighbors to give up negative self-talk in their life.”可知，Dr. Hugh的方法帮助学生提高了成绩，并鼓励他的朋友和邻居在生活中逐渐摆脱负面自我对话。因此，“his method”指的是通过积极自我对话。故选B。 15．篇章结构题。第一段首先提出负面自我对话的问题，第二、三、四、五段通过Lindsay的故事来支持这一观点，并展示积极自我对话的效果，因此，文章的结构是“总—分”的结构。故选A。 B I have a question for all of us. Is all winning success? Winning is really, really fun. But I am here to share my idea: Winning does not always mean success. All around the world, we have created the win-at-all-cost culture.

A．other“successful”coaches asked him to do so B．he was trying so hard to figure out how to win C．he learnt to care more about players than winning D．he learnt he should only support players who won 19．According to the writer, which of the following is a real success in life?

D．A parent who keeps asking about the grades his kid gets in the exams. 20．The structure of the passage is _______. A． B． C． D． 【答案】16．A 17．B 18．C 19．C 20．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了人们太专注取得胜利的结果而不是过程，作者讲述自己做教练的经历，认为激励人更重要。 16．细节理解题。根据第一段“I have a question for all of us. Is all winning success? Winning is really, really fun. But I am here to share my idea: Winning does not always mean success.”可知，作者通过提出一个问题来引入主题。故选A。 17．词义猜测题。根据第二段“We have become so focused (关注) on that end result instead of the process, and when it is a win, usually how we got there often gets little attention.”可知，it指代的是end result“最后的结果”。故选B。 18．细节理解题。根据第五段“I found out that I needed to support our student players as whole human beings, not just players who won.”可知，作者意识到需要支持我们的学生运动员，不仅仅是在他们取得胜利的时候。故选C。 19．推理判断题。根据第五段“I found out that I needed to support our student players as whole human beings, not just players who won.”可知，我意识到我需要支持我们的学生运动员，不仅仅是在他们取得胜利的时候，即使没有取得胜利也要尊重他们。故选C。 20．篇章结构题。第一，二段提出问题，胜利是成功吗？第三，四和五段用作者的亲身经历重新定义成功。第六段总结，激励人更重要。 C As the weather gets warmer, there are few things that are better to do than travel.

A．Because their senses stop working. B．Because they lose their senses of direction. C．Because their eyes can’t see clearly.

D．motion sickness has something to do with genes. 【答案】21．A 22．B 23．D 24．B 25．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了晕动症这一现象产生的原因以及如何改善。 21．细节理解题。根据“Depending on how you travel, it can be called carsickness or seasickness.”可知，根据旅行方式的不同，叫法不同。当你坐车旅行时，晕动症被称为晕车。故选A。 22．细节理解题。根据“People with motion sickness feel very uncomfortable while they are in motion. They feel sick and dizzy, like the room around them won’t stop spinning”可知，晕动症的人会头晕目眩且虚弱。故选B。 23．细节理解题。根据“But when you are in a car or an airplane, they get confused. Your inner ear signals that you’re moving, but your eyes say you’re sitting still (静止的) because you can’t see that you’re moving. This mismatch gives us motion sickness.”可知，当你坐车或者坐飞机时，内耳告诉你在运动，但是眼睛告诉你仍然是静止的，因此是这种感官之间的错乱导致了晕动症。故选D。 24．词义猜测题。根据“For example, some astronauts do special exercises that give them mild motion sickness. After a week or two, the astronauts become used to it and don’t feel uncomfortable anymore”可知，此处举了航天员经常训练晕动症，最后他们习惯了这种症状就不会感到不舒服了。因此此处指习惯，适应晕动症，adapt to表示“适应”。故选B。 25．推理判断题。根据“For example, some astronauts do special exercises that give them mild motion sickness. After a week or two, the astronauts become used to it and don’t feel uncomfortable anymore,”可知，经过一段时间的训练，航天员能够习惯晕动症，就不会感到不舒服了，因此C项“特殊的训练能够帮助应对晕动症。”符合内容。故选C。 D 根据短文内容，从短文后的 A—F选项中，选出5个适当的选项补全短文。 Do you ever compare (比较) yourself with other people? 26 Accepting (接受) who you are can help you feel happier and more positive (积极的) about yourself. Self-acceptance means learning to accept the things that make you who you are, and taking notes of what you’re good at. Self-acceptance means caring about the parts of you that don’t show well, like being careless or untidy. 27 When you accept who you are, you worry less about things you can’t change. 28 Many young people may think they have to perform best. In fact, it’s not true. Some people may find letters or numbers hard to read, for example, but they might be talented in other places, like finding a creative way to work out problems. Learning to accept everything about yourself can also help you find what you’re really good at. 29 Maybe you’re good at cooking, or people find it easy to talk to you. Ask your friends for help. Also, try saying kind, positive things to yourself in a mirror every morning. Think up ways to pick yourself up, like taking a long bath or watching your favorite film. 30 A．We are all different in our own ways. B．Everyone has good and bad sides, and it’s OK not to be perfect. C．This makes you feel surer and more comfortable about yourself. D．You can also look after yourself by eating healthy food and getting enough sleep. E．To accept yourself, start by making a list of all the things you like about yourself. F．It’s a habit that includes (包括) being kind to yourself even when you make something wrong. 【答案】26．A 27．F 28．C 29．E 30．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了接纳自己的好处以及如何接纳自己。 26．根据上文“Do you ever compare (比较) yourself with other people?”可知，上文提问是否把自己和他人做过比较，由此推知，空处应说明比较后的结果。选项A“我们都有自己的不同之处。”符合语境，故选A。 27．根据上文“Self-acceptance means caring about the parts of you that don’t show well, like being careless or untidy.”可知，此处讲的是接纳自己的缺点。选项F“这是一种习惯，包括即使你做错了事也要善待自己。”符合语境，故选F。 28．根据上文“When you accept who you are, you worry less about things you can’t change.”可知，上文讲的是当你接纳了自己，你就不会那么担心你无法改变的事情。由此推知，空处应说明当你不那么担心你无法改变的事情时，你的状态会是怎样的。选项C“这让你对自己更有信心，更舒服。”符合语境，故选C。 29．根据下文“Maybe you’re good at cooking, or people find it easy to talk to you.”可知，下文提到了擅长烹饪以及让人们觉得和你交谈很容易，而这些属于个人的优点，由此推知，空处的内容应和自己的优点有关。选项E“要接受自己，首先要列出你喜欢自己的所有方面。”符合语境，故选E。 30．根据上文“Also, try saying kind, positive things to yourself in a mirror every morning. Think up ways to pick yourself up, like taking a long bath or watching your favorite film.”可知，此处讲的是你可以为自己所做的事情。选项D“你也可以通过吃健康的食物和充足的睡眠来照顾自己。”符合语境，故选D。 三、选词填空(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) be, beautiful, grow, I, pick, play, share, surprise, taste, well, when, work I am a mother of five children.

But during the last spring, while I was working in the garden, my 13-year-old son, Josiah noticed me. He picked up a tool and began helping. As a team, we finished the job in no time at all. I thanked Josiah, finding that I’d enjoyed 34 with him. The same thing happened—one or two of the children would appear and join in the gardening from time to time. 35 , I would feel that the work was lighter because of their help.

Other students might feel that they can’t 2 the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, it isn’t a good idea. A student who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test 3 to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so that may can find some better ways together. Talking about these problems and 4 them out will help feel better than cheating. If a student gets caught cheating, the teacher may give a “zero” on the test, send him or her to the head teacher’s 5 , and call his or her parents. Worse than the 6 grade may be the feeling of having disappointed those people, like parents and teachers. A parent may worry that you are not an 7 person and a teacher might watch you more closely the next time you’re taking a test. There are plenty of reasons why a kid shouldn’t cheat, but some students have already cheated. If that’s you, it’s 8 too late to stop cheating.

We can learn much from our mistakes. However, too much of it may result in health problems. When self-criticism becomes too much, it can turn into negative self-talk. Negative self-talk is that little voice in your head. It says you are not good enough. Dr. Hugh, a scientist said that some good students who study hard usually do not do well in a test because of negative self-talk. Lindsay was one of Hugh’s best students. She came to class early, took part in discussions and did all her homework. However, she did poorly in exams. When Hugh asked her how she felt before a test, she told him she was very nervous. She was not sure that she knew the right answers. This is an example of negative self-talk. Dr. Hugh turned Lindsay’s negative self-talk into positive (积极的) questions. During a test, he told Lindsay to say to herself: Why do I remember everything I study for an exam? ★ ? Lindsay took his advice. Two weeks later, she took an exam in another class and scored 15 points higher than she had on an earlier exam. Four weeks later, she earned an “A” on the final exam in Hugh’s class. Dr. Hugh saw students work out fine with his method. And he does not just help his students. He also advises his friends and neighbors to give up negative self-talk in their life. He once said, “We can program ourselves for success in class or in life, or we can program ourselves for failure.” 11．How does the writer lead in the topic in paragraph 1? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving an example. C．By asking a question. D．By making a comparison. 12．Paragraph 3 is written to ________. A．introduce Lindsay B．show Dr. Huge’s success C．support (支撑) Dr. Hugh’s idea D．catch (吸引) readers’ interest 13．Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A．Why do I get my answers right B．Who can I ask for advice C．When should I solve the problem D．What difficulties will I face 14．The underlined words “his method” in paragraph 5 refers to ________. A．visiting Dr. Hugh more often B．using positive self-talk C．getting higher points in exams D．thinking about all the mistakes 15．What’s the structure of the passage? (①=paragraph 1 ②=paragraph 2, ...) A． B． C． D． B I have a question for all of us. Is all winning success? Winning is really, really fun. But I am here to share my idea: Winning does not always mean success. All around the world, we have created the win-at-all-cost culture. As a society, we honor the champion (冠军). We cheer for those people who win championships. Winning at all costs has become acceptable. We have become so focused (关注) on that end result instead of the process, and when it is a win, usually how we got there often gets little attention. We need to redefine (重新定义) success. Real success is developing champions in life for our world, win or lose. We may be able to plan our way to a win, but we can’t plan our way to success. Back to 1990, when I was first made the head coach of the UCLA Women’s Gymnastics Team, the best I could do was what other “successful”coaches had done. So, I became tough-talking and mean. I acted like a head coach whose only thought was to figure out how to win. After putting up with me for a few years, our team asked me for a team meeting. And for over two hours, they gave me examples of how my arrogance (傲慢) was hurtful. That was my time-out, and I chose to change. I found out that I needed to support our student players as whole human beings, not just players who won. It is so much easier to give orders than to actually figure out how to encourage someone to be better. And it takes a really long time to take root. The key was to develop trust through patience and honesty. Let’s think about what you are talking with your parents on the car ride home. Are they focusing on the end result? Are you excited to use that time to show you are a winner? All of you care too much about the end result instead of your steps of learning. We are all coaches in some ways. We all have the responsibility to develop champions in life for our world. That is what real success looks like, and that is what we call a win-win. 16．The writer introduced the topic by _______. A．asking a question B．showing some examples C．listing a few numbers D．comparing two different things 17．The underlined word “it” in the Paragraph 2 refers to (指代) _______. A．the process B．end result C．the champion D．real success 18．As the head coach, the writer chose to change because _______. A．other“successful”coaches asked him to do so B．he was trying so hard to figure out how to win C．he learnt to care more about players than winning D．he learnt he should only support players who won 19．According to the writer, which of the following is a real success in life? A．A kid who shows the medals and prizes he won to his parents. B．A player who tries to win a gold medal at the cost of his health. C．A coach who respects his members even though the team didn’t win. D．A parent who keeps asking about the grades his kid gets in the exams. 20．The structure of the passage is _______. A． B． C． D． C As the weather gets warmer, there are few things that are better to do than travel. But traveling might not be that fun for everyone, especially for those who have motion sickness (晕动症) . Motion sickness is also called travel sickness. It is a common experience for many people. Depending on how you travel, it can be called carsickness or seasickness. People with motion sickness feel very uncomfortable while they are in motion. They feel sick and dizzy, like the room around them won’t stop spinning (旋转). It is generally believed that motion sickness happens when your senses (感觉) become confused (困惑的) with each other, Scientific American reported. We use different parts of our body to sense movement. Our eyes tell us if we are moving. The inner ears (内耳) contain a special liquid that helps us sense our direction and balance. Our muscles react to movement. When you move around, these body parts work well together. But when you are in a car or an airplane, they get confused. Your inner ear signals that you’re moving, but your eyes say you’re sitting still (静止的) because you can’t see that you’re moving. This mismatch gives us motion sickness. But some people are less sensitive (敏感的) to motion sickness. This may be because they have certain genes (基因) that stop mismatching senses, Bethann Hromatka, a genetics expert from the US, told the Atlantic. Although there are many ways to deal with motion sickness, scientists believe that the key is to simply try to adapt to it. For example, some astronauts do special exercises that give them mild motion sickness. After a week or two, the astronauts become used to it and don’t feel uncomfortable anymore, Sam Puma, a NASA flight doctor, told the BBC． 21．What do we know about motion sickness? A．It is called carsickness when you travel by car. B．It happens to only a small number of people. C．It can make traveling more fun. D．It makes the room go around all the time. 22．How do people feel if they have motion sickness? A．Worried and angry. B．Sick and dizzy. C．Hungry. D．Sleepy. 23．Why do some people have motion sickness? A．Because their senses stop working. B．Because they lose their senses of direction. C．Because their eyes can’t see clearly. D．Because there is a mismatch among their senses. 24．What does the underlined phrase “adapt to” in paragraph 7 mean in Chinese ________? A．提高 B．适应 C．变异 D．筛选 25．The astronauts are mentioned to show that ________. A．it is impossible for others to deal with motion sickness. B．they can easily get used to motion sickness. C．special exercises can help deal with motion sickness.
