When it began to get light, we hid. When it was dark again, we chose to travel on. On the fifth day, we passed St. Louis, and we decided to go on down to Cairo in Illinois, sell the raft there and get a boat to Ohio. There are no slaves(奴隶) in Ohio. After some time, we saw lights on the Illinois side of the river and Jim got very excited. “Huck, is that Cairo?” He asked. I looked carefully, but it wasn’t Cairo. After that, we went on down the river. It was very dark and it wasn’t easy to see where we were going. Suddenly, a big steamboat came at us very fast and hit the raft, so Jim and I jumped off the raft into the water. When I came up out of the water, I couldn’t see Jim anywhere. I called out his name again and again, but there was no answer. “He may be dead!” I thought. Slowly, I swam to the side of the river and saw that I was near a big old wooden house. Suddenly a lot of very angry dogs jumped out at me. Someone called from the house, “Who’s there?” “George Jackson,” I lied quickly. “I’ve fallen off a river boat.” Well, the people treated me very well and I told them that my family were all dead, so they said I could stay with them as long as I wanted. A few days later, one of the slaves in the house came to me and said, “Come with me!” We went down to some trees by the river. On the ground, I found a man, asleep. It was Jim! —Adapted from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn 1．How did Jim and Huck travel down the river? A．By raft. B．By boat. C．By steamboat. D．On foot. 2．Why did Jim and Huck want to go to Ohio?

It is a good way to help others and make our lives more meaningful. Volunteers help different people in different places. Some volunteers help children in poor areas. They give them books, pens, schoolbags and clothes. They also teach them to read and write. These children are very happy to get help. Some volunteers help old people. They clean their rooms, buy food for them and talk with them. Old people often feel lonely, so love and care are very important to them. Some volunteers help clean up parks, streets or rivers. They make our city more beautiful and cleaner. Volunteering is not only helpful to others but also good for volunteers themselves. When we help others, we can feel happy and proud. We can make new friends and learn new skills. We can also learn how to care for others and understand the world better. For students, volunteering can teach us responsibility and help us grow up. Many students want to be volunteers, but they don’t know how to start. In fact, it is very easy. We can join volunteer clubs at school. We can help clean our classroom or school garden. We can help old people in our neighborhood. We can also give away old books and clothes to people in need. Even small things can help others a lot. Everyone can be a volunteer. We don’t need much money or time. We just need love and a kind heart. If everyone gives a little help, the world will become much warmer and more beautiful. Let’s take action and be volunteers from now on. 1．What is volunteering? A．A way to make money. B．A way to help others. C．A way to study better. D．A way to play happily. 2．What do volunteers give to children in poor areas? A．Cars. B．Computers. C．School things. D．Houses. 3．Why do volunteers clean parks or streets? A．To make the city beautiful.

Isn’t it a magic palace under the ground?” The beautiful caves, with their amazing stones and clear pools, look like fairy-tale worlds hidden under our feet. These special landscapes were created by nature over millions of years. That is a landform (地形) called karst (喀斯特). Over millions of years, rainwater and rivers have worked together to shape the land. In Chongqing, this natural process has created some of the most wonderful karst scenery in the world. Let me introduce three famous sites to you. Furong Cave in Wulong is one of the most beautiful caves in China. Inside, you can see stone flowers, stone waterfalls, and even stone animals. Colorful lights make the cave look like a dream world. The temperature stays at 16°C all year round, so it’s cool in summer and warm in winter. The Three Natural Bridges in Wulong are breathtaking stone arches (石拱门) that connect mountains across deep valleys. In 2007, this area became a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so it’s a must-see for visitors. Jinfoshan National Nature Reserve in Nanchuan is another karst treasure. The mountain looks like a huge table standing among clouds. There is almost no animal or plant living here, making it a perfect place for nature lovers. Thanks to tourism and scientific research, karst studies have developed quickly. Researchers use modern tools to protect them. Drones (无人机) help explore dangerous areas. Digital (数码的) cameras record every detail so that people can “visit” the caves online. Technology helps us understand and protect nature. However, karst protection still faces many challenges. So we need to control visitor numbers and stop pollution to keep these natural treasures perfect. 1．What makes Furong Cave a comfortable place to visit all year round? A．Its colorful lights. B．Its stone animals. C．Its pleasant temperature. D．Its online visiting service. 2．What modern tool do researchers use to explore dangerous karst areas? A．Drones. B．Stone arches. C．Digital cameras. D．Colorful lights. 3．What is the passage mainly about? A．Karst wonders in Chongqing and its protection. B．The use of modern technology in karst protection. C．The beautiful scenery of three karst sites in Chongqing. D．The process of creating these special karst landforms. 4．According to the passage, how does the writer feel about karst protection? A．Surprised but relaxed. B．Worried but hopeful. C．Calm and satisfied. D．Uncaring and doubtful. Good morning, everyone! My name is Li Ming, and I’m a new Shenzhener. It’s a great pleasure to stand here and talk about this wonderful city with you. Shenzhen is a “city of miracles” in China. It sits by the South China Sea and is in the heart of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Forty-six years ago, it was just a small fishing village. But now, after over forty years, it has grown into a famous international city. This is the best example of China’s reform and opening up (改革开放). When you visit Shenzhen, there are some fun things you must try. First, climb Lianhua Hill. Stand by the statue of Mr Deng Xiaoping who helped China’s reform. From there, you can look at the whole city shining. Then, go to Nantou Ancient Town. Walk around, and you’ll find shared stories of Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macao. If you love music, don’t miss the Belt and Road International Music Festival. You can enjoy songs from all over the world. Shenzhen is also a great place for food. As a city of immigrants (移民), it has flavours from every corner of China, like Cantonese dim sum and Chaoshan noodles. There are nice big restaurants and small local shops. Every bite tastes good! Today, Shenzhen is full of possibilities. It opens its arms to welcome everyone. Come here, and your amazing journey will start in this magic city Thank you for listening. 1．Where does Shenzhen lie?

But the tickets are more expensive than any other movie theater. Easy Mall I always do some shopping here because it’s the closest to my home. Many things in the mall are much cheaper.

They show one’s personal quality and respect for others. For eighth-grade students, learning good manners is as important as learning school subjects. Good manners can help us make more friends, keep good relationships with others and make our social life easier. Firstly, we should have polite manners in school. We should greet teachers politely when we meet them. We must listen carefully in class and never interrupt others when they are speaking. We should be friendly to classmates, help each other and never laugh at students who are in trouble. Keeping the classroom clean and quiet is also a basic school manner. Secondly, we need good manners in public places. When we wait for the bus or in a shop, we should stand in line and never push others. We should speak in a low voice in libraries, cinemas and hospitals so that we won’t disturb others. We must never spit everywhere or throw rubbish casually. It’s also polite to give seats to the old, the disabled and pregnant women on buses and subways. Thirdly, we should have good family manners. At home, we should respect our parents and elders. We can help parents do some housework in our free time. When we have dinner with family, we should wait for elders to sit down first before we eat. We should not make loud noise while eating. Good manners are not formed in a short time. We need to keep good behavior every day. Small polite words and simple actions can bring warmth to others. A person with good manners is always popular everywhere. Let’s develop good manners from small things in our daily life. 1．What do good manners show? A．One’s wealth. B．One’s personal quality. C．One’s study grades. D．One’s hobby. 2．What should we do when we meet teachers? A．Walk away quickly. B．Greet them politely. C．Keep silent. D．Talk loudly with classmates. 3．Which is a good public manner? A．Push others while waiting. B．Speak loudly in the library. C．Stand in line patiently. D．Throw rubbish on the ground. 4．What is a good family manner? A．Eat before elders sit down. B．Refuse to do housework. C．Respect parents and elders. D．Make noise at dinner. 5．What is the best title of the passage? A．The Importance of Good Manners B．How to Make Friends at School C．Manners in Public Places D．School Life of Middle School Students When I was in Grade 8, I joined the school’s etiquette club. At that time, I didn’t know much about etiquette, and I just joined it because my best friend was in it. But the one-year club experience changed my life completely, and taught me the importance of good manners. At the first meeting of the club, our teacher told us that etiquette is not just a set of empty rules, but a way to show respect and kindness to others. It can help us get along well with others, and make our life more pleasant. At that time, I didn’t quite understand what she meant, but as I took part in more activities, I began to understand it. In the club, we learned many different kinds of etiquette. We learned public etiquette, table manners, greeting etiquette, cross-cultural etiquette and so on. We learned how to greet people politely, how to behave in public places, how to set the table properly, and how to talk with others in a proper way. We also had many practice activities. We had a formal dinner to practice table manners, and we went to the community to teach people about good manners. The most unforgettable experience for me was the etiquette competition. We took part in the city’s middle school etiquette competition, and we had to give a performance about good manners in public places. We practiced for nearly two months after school every day. We practiced every move, every word, and every expression again and again. At last, we won the first prize in the competition. I felt so proud and happy. But the most important thing I got from the club was not the prize, but the change in myself. Before I joined the club, I was a careless girl. I often talked loudly in public places, cut in line, and forgot to say “thank you” and “please”. But after joining the club, I began to pay attention to my manners. I learned to wait in line patiently, keep quiet in public places, and be polite to everyone around me. My friends and family were surprised by my change. My parents said that I had become more polite and thoughtful. My teachers said that I had become more confident and popular at school. I also found that it was easier for me to get along well with others, and I made more new friends. Now, I have left the etiquette club, but the good manners I learned have become a part of my life. I will always remember that good manners can make the world a better place. I will keep practicing good manners, and tell more people about the importance of etiquette. 1．Why did the writer join the etiquette club at first? A．Because she was very interested in etiquette. B．Because her best friend was in the club. C．Because her teacher asked her to join it. D．Because she wanted to take part in the competition. 2．What did the writer learn in the etiquette club? A．Different kinds of etiquette and how to be polite. B．How to win the etiquette competition. C．How to teach people about good manners in the community. D．How to give a performance in the competition. 3．What does the underlined sentence “etiquette is not just a set of empty rules” mean? A．Etiquette is useless and has no meaning. B．Etiquette is just a set of rules that we need to follow. C．Etiquette is more than rules, it shows respect and kindness to others. D．Etiquette is very difficult for people to learn. 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．The writer didn’t change at all after joining the club. B．The writer won the second prize in the city’s etiquette competition. C．The writer’s friends and family were surprised by her change. D．The writer thought the club experience was useless and boring. We know good manners are important. Today I am going to tell you something about manners in different countries. I think you may know that people in different countries usually have different ways of doing things. Something that is rude in one country may be quite polite in another. For example, in Britain you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having liquid food, such as porridge. That is considered bad manners in Britain. But in Japan, you needn’t worry about making a noise when you drink something. It shows that you are enjoying it. In Britain, we try not to put our hands on the table at all during a meal. In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table throughout a meal. In Arabic countries, you mustn’t eat with your left hand. This is considered to be very impolite. So what should you do if you visit a foreign country? Well, you needn’t worry. You can ask the native people there to help you and you can just watch carefully and try to do what they do. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．In Britain we try not to put our hands ________ during a meal. A．on the desk B．on the table C．on the chair D．A and B 2．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “throughout” in Chinese?

A．manners B．habits C．traffic D．rules Picking mushrooms is becoming more and more popular. Last summer, many visitors came every day to pick wild mushrooms at Cangshan Mountain in Dali. This damaged (破坏) the beautiful forests and the local environment. Reporters find that many forest areas now show clear signs of damage from all the people walking through them. Some guides who lead mushroom tours don’t actually have proper training. They sometimes can’t give right information about which mushrooms are safe to pick. Many visitors simply dig up mushrooms, take pictures with them, and then throw them away. On one day, more than 500 people come into the mountain through just one entrance. There are many paths (小路) where people search for mushrooms across the whole mountain. This searching and digging is harmful to the natural home where mushrooms grow. Environmental experts explain that mushrooms play an important role in nature. They help break down (分解) dead leaves and branches, which helps plants grow. They also provide food for insects and small animals. When too many people pick too many mushrooms, it can damage the whole ecosystem. It might take many years for the mushroom population to return to normal. Local officials have realized the problem and they are now taking action. They start to reduce the number of visitors and send more police to protect the area. 1．Who caused the environmental problem at Cangshan Mountain? A．Tourists. B．Reporters. C．Local officials. D．Researchers. 2．According to Paragraph 4, what are the benefits of the mushrooms? ①They are good for people’s heart and brain. ②They break down dead leaves and branches. ③They protect the mountain from heavy rains. ④They provide food for insects and small animals. A．①② B．③④ C．①④ D．②④ 3．Which of the following statements is TRUE? A．Most guides have proper training to pick safe mushrooms. B．Most tourists take the mushrooms back home with them. C．People search for mushrooms along one special path. D．Local officials start to reduce the number of tourists. 4．What is the purpose of the text? A．To encourage more people to pick mushrooms. B．To tell people about the dangers of eating wild mushrooms. C．To describe the beautiful scenery of Cangshan Mountain. D．To report on an environmental problem and the measures against it. Online tours are very popular. I have taken many online tours. I visited palaces, learned local customs and knew foreign languages. I got much useful information. It is my pleasure to learn about the world online. I dream of travelling around the real world some day. 1．What is very popular? A．Online tours. B．Watching TV. C．Reading books.

I have left to follow my dream of knitting (编织) sweaters for penguins on Phillip Island in Australia and no longer work for the School of Economics. I will be out of office... until my penguin friends are happy.” Weeks ago, a teacher in the UK sent this email to her Chinese student, and it soon became popular online. You may find this email surprising, but knitting sweaters for penguins is a real act of kindness. The Penguin Foundation and Phillip Island Nature Parks in Australia came up with the idea. The activity began because of a serious oil spill (石油泄漏) near Phillip Island in the 1990s. During that time, the number and health of baby penguins had a serious drop. When little penguins were covered in oil, their lives were put in danger. To solve this problem, the foundation asked people from all over the world to knit sweaters for penguins. These sweaters could keep them warm during the cleaning process and stop them from eating the oil. Luckily, the idea worked. In 2001, there was another oil spill near Phillip Island. This time, the sweaters helped save 96 percent of the penguins in the area. However, some bird protection groups have questioned if these sweaters might put more stress on penguins. In answer to this, the foundation said that the sweaters are only used for a short time. Once the penguins are better, they no longer wear them. 1．Why did the teacher leave the school? A．To study penguins. B．To help penguins. C．To have a good rest. D．To sell sweaters in Antarctica. 2．In the sentence “This time, the sweaters helped save 96 percent of the penguins in the area.” What does “This time” refer to? A．The original idea to knit sweaters for penguins B．The oil spill in the 1990s C．The oil spill in 2001 D．The time when the teacher left her job 3．What can sweaters do for the penguins? A．Help baby penguins learn to swim. B．Protect them from falling into the water. C．Stop them from eating the spilled oil. D．Clean baby penguins covered in oil. 4．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Penguins only wear sweaters for a short time. B．The Penguin Foundation faces a lot of stress. C．There are not enough sweaters for penguins. D．Sweaters may hurt other animals in Antarctica. 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．New technology to protect penguins. B．The problem of oil spills in Antarctica. C．A teacher’s journey to Antarctica. D．Knitting sweaters to help penguins. 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 期末复习之阅读理解12篇（江苏专用） 本资料属于译林版八年级下册英语期末复习专辑，专辑内包含期末考试各个题型的专项训练，综合训练。 一、阅读理解 Ten-year-old Orion Jean has always known that kindness is important.

It is a good way to help others and make our lives more meaningful. Volunteers help different people in different places. Some volunteers help children in poor areas. They give them books, pens, schoolbags and clothes. They also teach them to read and write. These children are very happy to get help. Some volunteers help old people. They clean their rooms, buy food for them and talk with them. Old people often feel lonely, so love and care are very important to them. Some volunteers help clean up parks, streets or rivers. They make our city more beautiful and cleaner. Volunteering is not only helpful to others but also good for volunteers themselves. When we help others, we can feel happy and proud.

Look at that! Isn’t it a magic palace under the ground?” The beautiful caves, with their amazing stones and clear pools, look like fairy-tale worlds hidden under our feet. These special landscapes were created by nature over millions of years. That is a landform (地形) called karst (喀斯特). Over millions of years, rainwater and rivers have worked together to shape the land. In Chongqing, this natural process has created some of the most wonderful karst scenery in the world. Let me introduce three famous sites to you. Furong Cave in Wulong is one of the most beautiful caves in China. Inside, you can see stone flowers, stone waterfalls, and even stone animals. Colorful lights make the cave look like a dream world. The temperature stays at 16°C all year round, so it’s cool in summer and warm in winter. The Three Natural Bridges in Wulong are breathtaking stone arches (石拱门) that connect mountains across deep valleys. In 2007, this area became a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so it’s a must-see for visitors. Jinfoshan National Nature Reserve in Nanchuan is another karst treasure. The mountain looks like a huge table standing among clouds. There is almost no animal or plant living here, making it a perfect place for nature lovers. Thanks to tourism and scientific research, karst studies have developed quickly. Researchers use modern tools to protect them. Drones (无人机) help explore dangerous areas. Digital (数码的) cameras record every detail so that people can “visit” the caves online. Technology helps us understand and protect nature. However, karst protection still faces many challenges. So we need to control visitor numbers and stop pollution to keep these natural treasures perfect. 1．What makes Furong Cave a comfortable place to visit all year round? A．Its colorful lights. B．Its stone animals. C．Its pleasant temperature. D．Its online visiting service. 2．What modern tool do researchers use to explore dangerous karst areas? A．Drones. B．Stone arches. C．Digital cameras. D．Colorful lights. 3．What is the passage mainly about? A．Karst wonders in Chongqing and its protection. B．The use of modern technology in karst protection. C．The beautiful scenery of three karst sites in Chongqing. D．The process of creating these special karst landforms. 4．According to the passage, how does the writer feel about karst protection? A．Surprised but relaxed. B．Worried but hopeful. C．Calm and satisfied. D．Uncaring and doubtful. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了重庆三处著名的喀斯特地貌奇观以及现代科技在喀斯特保护中的应用和面临的挑战。 1．第三段明确指出“The temperature stays at 16°C all year round, so it’s cool in summer and warm in winter”，说明芙蓉洞全年舒适是因为其宜人的温度。 2．最后一段明确指出“Drones help explore dangerous areas”，说明研究人员使用无人机探索危险的喀斯特地区。 3．文章先介绍重庆的喀斯特地貌创造了美妙景观，接着介绍三个著名景点，然后说喀斯特研究因旅游和科研快速发展，现代工具助力保护，最后提到喀斯特保护面临挑战及应对措施，整体围绕重庆喀斯特奇观及其保护展开。 4．最后一段提到“However, karst protection still faces many challenges.

They show one’s personal quality and respect for others. For eighth-grade students, learning good manners is as important as learning school subjects. Good manners can help us make more friends, keep good relationships with others and make our social life easier. Firstly, we should have polite manners in school. We should greet teachers politely when we meet them. We must listen carefully in class and never interrupt others when they are speaking. We should be friendly to classmates, help each other and never laugh at students who are in trouble. Keeping the classroom clean and quiet is also a basic school manner.

We should speak in a low voice in libraries, cinemas and hospitals so that we won’t disturb others. We must never spit everywhere or throw rubbish casually. It’s also polite to give seats to the old, the disabled and pregnant women on buses and subways. Thirdly, we should have good family manners. At home, we should respect our parents and elders. We can help parents do some housework in our free time. When we have dinner with family, we should wait for elders to sit down first before we eat. We should not make loud noise while eating. Good manners are not formed in a short time. We need to keep good behavior every day. Small polite words and simple actions can bring warmth to others. A person with good manners is always popular everywhere. Let’s develop good manners from small things in our daily life. 1．What do good manners show? A．One’s wealth. B．One’s personal quality.

At that time, I didn’t know much about etiquette, and I just joined it because my best friend was in it. But the one-year club experience changed my life completely, and taught me the importance of good manners. At the first meeting of the club, our teacher told us that etiquette is not just a set of empty rules, but a way to show respect and kindness to others. It can help us get along well with others, and make our life more pleasant. At that time, I didn’t quite understand what she meant, but as I took part in more activities, I began to understand it. In the club, we learned many different kinds of etiquette. We learned public etiquette, table manners, greeting etiquette, cross-cultural etiquette and so on. We learned how to greet people politely, how to behave in public places, how to set the table properly, and how to talk with others in a proper way. We also had many practice activities. We had a formal dinner to practice table manners, and we went to the community to teach people about good manners. The most unforgettable experience for me was the etiquette competition. We took part in the city’s middle school etiquette competition, and we had to give a performance about good manners in public places. We practiced for nearly two months after school every day. We practiced every move, every word, and every expression again and again. At last, we won the first prize in the competition. I felt so proud and happy. But the most important thing I got from the club was not the prize, but the change in myself. Before I joined the club, I was a careless girl. I often talked loudly in public places, cut in line, and forgot to say “thank you” and “please”. But after joining the club, I began to pay attention to my manners. I learned to wait in line patiently, keep quiet in public places, and be polite to everyone around me. My friends and family were surprised by my change. My parents said that I had become more polite and thoughtful. My teachers said that I had become more confident and popular at school. I also found that it was easier for me to get along well with others, and I made more new friends. Now, I have left the etiquette club, but the good manners I learned have become a part of my life. I will always remember that good manners can make the world a better place. I will keep practicing good manners, and tell more people about the importance of etiquette. 1．Why did the writer join the etiquette club at first? A．Because she was very interested in etiquette. B．Because her best friend was in the club. C．Because her teacher asked her to join it. D．Because she wanted to take part in the competition. 2．What did the writer learn in the etiquette club? A．Different kinds of etiquette and how to be polite. B．How to win the etiquette competition. C．How to teach people about good manners in the community. D．How to give a performance in the competition. 3．What does the underlined sentence “etiquette is not just a set of empty rules” mean? A．Etiquette is useless and has no meaning.

Today I am going to tell you something about manners in different countries. I think you may know that people in different countries usually have different ways of doing things. Something that is rude in one country may be quite polite in another. For example, in Britain you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having liquid food, such as porridge. That is considered bad manners in Britain. But in Japan, you needn’t worry about making a noise when you drink something. It shows that you are enjoying it. In Britain, we try not to put our hands on the table at all during a meal. In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table throughout a meal. In Arabic countries, you mustn’t eat with your left hand. This is considered to be very impolite. So what should you do if you visit a foreign country? Well, you needn’t worry. You can ask the native people there to help you and you can just watch carefully and try to do what they do. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．In Britain we try not to put our hands ________ during a meal. A．on the desk B．on the table C．on the chair D．A and B 2．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “throughout” in Chinese?

This is considered to be very impolite.”指出，在阿拉伯国家不能用左手吃饭，因此要注意自己的手。 4．文章第二段第一句“people in different countries usually have different ways of doing things”及全文的例子说明不同国家有不同的礼仪习惯。 5．文章第一段点明主题“tell you something about manners in different countries”，全文围绕不同国家的餐桌礼仪展开，因此主旨是“manners”（礼仪）。 Picking mushrooms is becoming more and more popular. Last summer, many visitors came every day to pick wild mushrooms at Cangshan Mountain in Dali. This damaged (破坏) the beautiful forests and the local environment. Reporters find that many forest areas now show clear signs of damage from all the people walking through them. Some guides who lead mushroom tours don’t actually have proper training. They sometimes can’t give right information about which mushrooms are safe to pick. Many visitors simply dig up mushrooms, take pictures with them, and then throw them away. On one day, more than 500 people come into the mountain through just one entrance. There are many paths (小路) where people search for mushrooms across the whole mountain. This searching and digging is harmful to the natural home where mushrooms grow. Environmental experts explain that mushrooms play an important role in nature. They help break down (分解) dead leaves and branches, which helps plants grow. They also provide food for insects and small animals. When too many people pick too many mushrooms, it can damage the whole ecosystem. It might take many years for the mushroom population to return to normal. Local officials have realized the problem and they are now taking action. They start to reduce the number of visitors and send more police to protect the area. 1．Who caused the environmental problem at Cangshan Mountain? A．Tourists. B．Reporters. C．Local officials. D．Researchers. 2．According to Paragraph 4, what are the benefits of the mushrooms? ①They are good for people’s heart and brain. ②They break down dead leaves and branches. ③They protect the mountain from heavy rains. ④They provide food for insects and small animals.

I have left to follow my dream of knitting (编织) sweaters for penguins on Phillip Island in Australia and no longer work for the School of Economics. I will be out of office... until my penguin friends are happy.” Weeks ago, a teacher in the UK sent this email to her Chinese student, and it soon became popular online. You may find this email surprising, but knitting sweaters for penguins is a real act of kindness. The Penguin Foundation and Phillip Island Nature Parks in Australia came up with the idea. The activity began because of a serious oil spill (石油泄漏) near Phillip Island in the 1990s. During that time, the number and health of baby penguins had a serious drop. When little penguins were covered in oil, their lives were put in danger. To solve this problem, the foundation asked people from all over the world to knit sweaters for penguins. These sweaters could keep them warm during the cleaning process and stop them from eating the oil. Luckily, the idea worked. In 2001, there was another oil spill near Phillip Island. This time, the sweaters helped save 96 percent of the penguins in the area. However, some bird protection groups have questioned if these sweaters might put more stress on penguins. In answer to this, the foundation said that the sweaters are only used for a short time. Once the penguins are better, they no longer wear them. 1．Why did the teacher leave the school? A．To study penguins. B．To help penguins. C．To have a good rest. D．To sell sweaters in Antarctica. 2．In the sentence “This time, the sweaters helped save 96 percent of the penguins in the area.” What does “This time” refer to?

A．Help baby penguins learn to swim. B．Protect them from falling into the water. C．Stop them from eating the spilled oil. D．Clean baby penguins covered in oil. 4．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Penguins only wear sweaters for a short time. B．The Penguin Foundation faces a lot of stress. C．There are not enough sweaters for penguins. D．Sweaters may hurt other animals in Antarctica. 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．New technology to protect penguins. B．The problem of oil spills in Antarctica. C．A teacher’s journey to Antarctica. D．Knitting sweaters to help penguins. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了为企鹅编织毛衣这一善举的由来、作用以及相关争议。 1．根据第一段中“I have left to follow my dream of knitting sweaters for penguins on Phillip Island in Australia and no longer work for the School of Economics.”可知，这位老师离开学校是为了给南极的企鹅编织毛衣，帮助它们。 2．根据第五段中“Luckily, the idea worked. In 2001, there was another oil spill near Phillip Island. This time, the sweaters helped save 96 percent of the penguins in the area.”可知，“This time”指代的是2001年的这次石油泄漏事件。 3．根据第四段中“These sweaters could keep them warm during the cleaning process and stop them from eating the oil.”可知，毛衣可以防止企鹅误食泄漏的石油。 4．根据最后一段中“In answer to this, the foundation said that the sweaters are only used for a short time. Once the penguins are better, they no longer wear them.”可知，企鹅只会在短时间内穿毛衣，恢复健康后就不再穿了。 5．全文围绕为企鹅编织毛衣这一善举展开，介绍了它的由来、作用以及相关争议，因此主旨是“编织毛衣帮助企鹅”。 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
