Qi Huangyang's actions were praised by Confucius.He said,"Qi Huangyang was right.He recommended people because of their abilities and talents,not because of personal reasons,not because of fearing others thoughts."Therefore,people like Qi Huangyang are referred to as people who are unselfish. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 )26.How many stories are mentioned in the passage?

First,check your house.Make sure the doors and windows are strong.If there are any broken parts,repair them quickly.You can use glue and tape to fix the windows so they won't break easily. Second,prepare necessary things.Go to the supermarket to buy enough food and water.Cooked food is better because you may not be able to cook during the typhoon.Also,remember to buy batteries and put flashlights within reach.When the electricity goes out,you will need them to see in the dark. Third,move things indoors.Bring flowers,chairs and other things from the garden into the house.Strong winds can blow them away and cause damage. 英语八年级下册XJ第3页共6页 试卷5 Finally,stay indoors during the typhoon.Don't go outside even if the wind seems to stop.Sometimes the eye of the typhoon passes over,and the wind will come again from the opposite direction.

The book tells the story of Esperanza,a Mexican-American girl. 37 Through different characters and their stories,it talks about themes such as personal identity(身份)，immigrant(移民)experience,and women and marriage In the chapter My Name,Esperanza struggles with the idea of her name.She explains that it means "hope"in English,but in Spanish it neans“sadness”and“waiting”.38So,she gives herself a new name:Zeze the X. In some chapters,she talks about women and marriage.While reading it,I thought of a picture:women looking out the window,wishing they could go outside and see the world.39 I believe this is why Esperanza wants a house of her own.To her,the house represents a new life.40 The book writes about change and de- pression,yet it still holds out hope at the end. 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项， 使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 A.It means she can make her own decisions.
