2025-2026学年译林八年级英语七选五专项练习 A As school kids, we have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize. __1__________ You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class. Once you have found a dream, what do you do with it? Have you ever tried to achieve your dream? Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that realizing our dreams is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. __2__________ In fact, everyone can realize their dream. The first thing you must do is remember what your dream is. __3__________ Keep telling yourself what you want, and you will realize your dream faster. Do this step by step. A dream cannot be realized in one day. A big dream is, in fact, many small dreams. You must also never give up on your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to realizing it. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. __4__________ Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book. __5__________ But it is OK as long as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests. A. Or they can be small. B. Don’t let it leave your heart. C. Having a happy life means giving. D. You need to decide what is most important. E. As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. F. Then it may help them to be confident to face challenges. G. These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream, the book says. 【答案】AGBDE 【解析】 1. 细节理解题。根据上文“These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize.（这些梦想可以很大，比如获得诺贝尔奖。）”可知获得诺贝尔奖是伟大的理想，与之对应的是下文“You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.（你可能只是想成为班上最好的十个学生之一。）”可知成为班里的十佳学生之一是小的理想，结合选项，选项A“Or they can be small.（或者它们可以很小。）”符合语境。故选A。 2. 联系上文题。根据上文“You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer.（你可能认为自己不擅长某些学科，或者认为自己不可能成为一名作家。）”可知此处表示认为自己不擅长学校的科目，认为自己不可能成为作家，这些想法会阻止自己实现梦想，结合选项，选项G“These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream, the book says.（书中说，这些想法会阻碍你实现梦想。）”符合语境。故选G。 3. 联系下文题。根据下文“Keep telling yourself what you want, and you will realize your dream faster.（不断地告诉自己你想要什么，你会更快地实现你的梦想。）”可知要一直告诉你自己你想要的东西，因此不要忘记了你的梦想，选项B“Don’t let it leave your heart.（别让它离开你的心。）”符合语境。故选B。 4. 联系下文题。根据下文“Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.（学习而不是看电视会导致更好的考试成绩，而节省五元钱而不是买冰淇淋意味着你可以买一本新书。）”可知是在决定做什么才是最重要的事，选项D“You need to decide what is most important.（你需要决定什么是最重要的。）”符合语境。故选D。 5. 联系下文题。根据下文“But it is OK as long as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests. （但只要你有机会学习更多的技能，找到新的兴趣，这是可以的。）”可知你有机会学习更多技巧，找到新的兴趣爱好，这是梦想发生了一些变化的好处，选项E“As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. （当你越来越接近自己的梦想时，它可能会发生一些变化。）”符合语境。故选E。 B A survey shows that the number of lonely adults is increasing.

The other level is long-term memory, which can be stored for days, months or even years. There are many uses for memory. __3__________ Emotional memory makes you think of how you felt about something and can be strong and powerful. They are long term. Memories can tell you the story of yourself. __4__________ This much easier to remember all those facts, or formulas (公式) or whatever it is you’re learning if you have a good memory. Memories can also help you manage feelings. Heid12, told The Week Junior, “If I miss seeing my granny and grandad, I remember staying with them in Devon. It makes me feel happy.” Our memory is amazing, but why do we still forget things? It’s possible we don’t always store information in our memory effectively. __5__________ If you don’t have these connections, then it can be easier to forget. It is also possible that memories decay (衰退) over time. As they have not been revised, their biological trace becomes weak. However, forgetting is not always a bad thing! It would waste cognitive (认知的) resources if we remembered every detail of the world around us. That’s something worth remembering. A. Maybe it’s not surprising that sometimes we forget things. B. Motor skill memory helps you remember how to ride a bike or other activities, which can be strong can be short or big term. C. When we do store information, we often make connections with other things, which helps us recall it later. D. Information, such as which school you go to and who your friends are, is stored inside your brain, ready for when you need it. E. Scientists believe there are two levels of memory. F. Forgetting is always harmful because it makes us lose important information about our lives. G. Short-term memory can last for several hours, like remembering a phone number you just wrote down. 【答案】AEBDC 【解析】本文主要介绍了人类的两种记忆类型以及忘记事情的原因。 1. 根据上文“If we can’t remember how to do something, we can’t survive.
