B When people think of tigers, words like “ strong” and “dangerous” come into their mind. But now, the big animal is calling for our help. There were once eight kinds of tigers in the world, but three died out during last century. In the past 70 years, the number of the Siberian tigers has gone from as many as 300 to somewhere between 18 and 22. The World Wildlife Fund started a programme. It is about to put an end to tiger poaching (非法狩猎) and save wild tigers. China, together with 12 other countries, has joined in. The aim is to double the number of wild tigers in the next ten years. According to research by Chinese officers and WWF, the Siberian tiger is already one of the world’s most endangered animals (濒危动物). “If the government doesn’t do anything, it’s quite possible that there will be no more Siberian tigers in China in 10 to 20 years.” said Zhu Chunguan, director at WWF’s Beijing office. Wild animals such as deer and wild boars are tigers’ main food. The poaching of these animals is the greatest danger to tigers. Traps (陷阱) are also a danger. “Volunteers from WWF remove traps every year, but we cannot clear all the traps ourselves,” Zhu said. The most important thing people can do is to save the animals tigers eat. “To protect the tigers, we need to call on more people to stop hunting wild animals.” 4．What is the main idea of the first paragraph? A．Tigers are not strong any more. B．There are only three kinds of tigers in the world. C．Most tigers live in Africa. D．The number of tigers fell during the past century. 5．What does the underlined word “remove” mean? A．Take something away. B．Make something stronger. C．Like something best. D．Go together with somebody. 6．Which dangerous fact to Siberian tigers is NOT mentioned in the passage? A．There are fewer and fewer deer and wild boars. B．The living areas for tigers are getting smaller. C．Different kinds of traps are still in the wild. D．People are trying to stop tigers poaching. C Most environmental pollution comes from humans and their inventions. The electric bulbs are thought to be one of the greatest human inventions of all time. However, too much of a good thing has started to influence (影响) the environment. Light pollution is influencing human health and wildlife behavior. There is a world-wide movement to reduce light pollution, and everyone can help. Light pollution problem became especially serious when the World Map of Night Sky Brightness was published in 2016. Large areas of North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia are glowing with light, while only Siberia, the Sahara, and the Amazon are in total darkness. Artificial (人造的) light can wreak havoc on natural body rhythms in both humans and animals. It interrupts sleep and confuses the circadian rhythm (生理节奏). An increased amount of light at night lowers melatonin (褪黑素) production, which results in less sleep, headaches, stress and other health problems. Blue light, in particular, has been shown to reduce levels of melatonin in humans. It is found in cell phones and other computer devices, as well as in LEDs, the kinds of bulbs that have become popular at home and in industrial and city lighting due to their low cost and energy efficiency. Studies show that light pollution is also influencing animal behaviors, such as migration (迁徙) patterns and habitat formation. Because of light pollution, sea turtles guided by moonlight during migration lose their way, and often die. Even animals living under the deep sea may be influenced by underwater artificial lighting. Studies show that the artificial light is changing ocean ecosystems. The good news is that light pollution is reversible (可逆的) and each one of us can make a difference! Now, many people are taking action to reduce light pollution and bring back the natural night sky. People are required to use outdoor lighting only when and where it is needed and to close window blinds, shades, and curtains at night to keep light inside. 7．What does the underlined word “havoc” in Para.3 probably mean? A．Improve. B．Keep. C．Manage. D．Damage. 8．Why is melatonin mentioned in the passage? A．To introduce an important biological process of our body. B．To describe the importance of having a good night’s sleep. C．To give an example of how artificial light influences our health. D．To suggest using more blue light at night. 9．What is the author’s attitude towards the control of light pollution? A．Uncertain. B．Doubtful. C．Worried. D．Hopeful. 10．According to the passage, which would the author agree with? A．Light pollution is the hardest type of pollution to solve. B．Deep-sea environment can help animals avoid light pollution. C．Artificial light influences the sense of direction of animals. D．LEDs can be used more because of low cost and energy efficiency. 四、根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Danger of Sit-ups Do you like doing sit-ups (仰卧起坐)? If you answer “No”, then here is some good news for you. 1 Stuart McGill has been studying sit-ups for years at his college. He said that this exercise could cause harm (伤害) to people. Here is how he did it. 2 The test goes on for many hours without a break. When McGill checked the spines afterward, he found serious harm. If the same thing happened to us, that would mean terrible backache. 3 However, McGill finds that doing regular (定期的) sit-ups can have the same result. Some people are more likely (可能) to have back problems. 4 It’s hard to know which group we fall into. 5 Put your hands under your lower back. Bend one knee up and keep the other straight. Then, move up the head and shoulders (肩膀)off the ground by a little bit. In this way, doing sit-ups will cause much less harm to us. A.He bent (使弯折) the spines just like a person might bend his when doing sit-ups. B.We might be fine doing 30 sit-ups a day for years, or we might not. C.If you love doing sit-ups, here is some advice from McGill. D.A recent study shows doing sit-ups might be bad for people. E.Doing sit-ups has really helped me to lose more weight. F.You might say you don’t do sit-ups for many hours at a time.

Great fun and new records, for sure. But to some places of interest for tourists, the popular film has also brought more visitors. One of them is the Nezha Palace in Yibin, Sichuan. “Usually, the number of visitors goes down after the Spring Festival,” says a spokesman. “This year, people are still coming.” The first half of February saw three times as many people as last year. Xixia County (西峡县), Henan, is also enjoying the fruits of the film’s success. It has places such as the Ne Zha Family Temple. To attract more visitors, the county has made a special offer. People with Ne Zha 2 movie tickets can visit some places of interest for free. In all, the number of visitors to the county has gone up by 18 percent. Hotel bookings have almost doubled since the movie came out. This means a 13.2 percent more in total. But the most popular place to go is Chengdu, the hometown of Ne Zha 2. Visitors have poured in from around the country. They take pictures in front of the city’s many Ne Zha statues (雕塑). They also make special trips to the film’s production studio (制作工作室), Chengdu Coco Cartoon. To some locals, the capital of Sichuan now feels like a “Nezha City.” “In the evening, big screens on tall buildings light up with pictures of Ne Zha and Ao Bing,” says a young woman. “It’s great to see people taking photos below. And I’ve taken some great photos myself. Thanks to all the designers for bringing the film characters to life.” 1．What has the movie Ne Zha 2 brought to some tourist places? 2．What special offer does Xixia County have for visitors with Ne Zha 2 movie tickets? 3．Which places do the visitors go to when they get to Chengdu, the hometown of Ne Zha 2? 4．Why has Ne Zha 2 brought more visitors to some places like Yibin and Xixia County? 八年级英语 第8页 共6页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
