B In the past, Chinese children played many traditional games like rope skipping (跳绳), shuttlecock (毽子) kicking, and iron hoop rolling. These games were not only fun but also helped kids exercise and make friends. However, today these games are slowly disappearing (消失) from children’s lives. Many people worry that this important part of culture may be lost. One main reason is technology. With smartphones and computers everywhere, many children now like playing digital games indoors more than doing outdoor activities. A survey shows that three quarters of the Chinese children spend over 2 hours daily on electronic devices (电子设备) such as computers and smartphones. Traditional games seem “old-fashioned” to them. Another reason is that there is not enough space. In modern cities, playgrounds are becoming fewer because buildings take up more areas. Also, busy parents don’t have enough time to teach these games to their children. Some schools try to keep the tradition alive by including these games in PE classes, but it’s not enough. The disappearance (消失) of these games means more than just losing fun activities. They were an important part of Chinese culture. Without them, children miss chances to develop social skills and learn about their cultural traditions. 1.What percentage of Chinese children spend over 2 hours daily on electronic devices? A.25%. B.34%. C.75%. D.90%. 2.Which of the following can be put in “ ”? A.Traditional games are too boring to play. B.Children don’t know where to play traditional games. C.Children are too lazy to play traditional games. D.This makes traditional games less interesting. 3.How does the writer feel about the disappearance of traditional Chinese games? A.Awful. B.Magical. C.Hopeful. D.Angry. 4.What is the best title for the passage? A.The History of Traditional Chinese Games B.Traditional Games: Disappearing Treasures of Chinese Culture C.How to Play Popular Traditional Chinese Games D.Digital Games: Better than Traditional Games C C Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience. Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to stop climbing, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life.” At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal(水晶). 1.The writer tells us that mountain-climbing was _ for his father and him.

When they were free, they often played outside or did simple sports with their classmates. Most of them lived a simple but enjoyable life. Now great changes have taken place around us. 4 With mobile phones and the Internet, students can learn almost everything they like online. They can chat with friends at any time and know the latest news in a short time.

But the West Lake in Hangzhou is the most famous of them all. It lies in Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province on the southeastern coast. And the city is well known as a paradise in China. Thousands of years ago, the West Lake was connected to the sea. The Qiantang River, not far away from the West Lake, enters the sea in the eastern part of the area. The sediment (沉积物) settled by the river finally blocked the connection between the West Lake and the sea, making it an inland water area. Since the 9th century A.D., the beautiful scenery of the West Lake in all seasons has appeared in poems, stories and legends. It’s roughly estimated (估计) that there are about 630 legends of the West Lake alone. In 2011 West Lake Cultural Landscape of Hangzhou was included on the World Heritage List (世界遗产名录). It is visited by more and more international tourists. 1.How many lakes named “West Lake” are there in China? 2.Which city is the capital of Zhejiang Province? 3.When was the West Lake connected to the sea? 4.Where has the beautiful scenery of the West Lake appeared in all seasons? 5.In 2011, what was West Lake Cultural Landscape of Hangzhou included on? 八年级英语 第8页 共6页 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $
