(一)直接理解题
这种题目比较简单,只要通读全文,了解文中所叙述的重要事实或细节就可以解答出来,有的甚至可以从文章的原句中直接找到答案。此类题目的出题形式很多,例如:
(1)Which of the following statements is true / false
(2)Which of the following is(not)mentioned
(3)How many / How much / Where / How / What……
(4)What does the writer think about
(5)Which is the right order of the events given in thepassage
要快速辨认和记忆事实或细节,就需要恰当地使用查阅的方法。查阅是读者在对材料有所了解的情况下进行的,它的特点是带着问题去寻找答案,往往与略读综合使用,具体方法与步骤如下:
(1)略读材料,了解原文大意,掌握其中心意思或主旨。
(2)按文章的体裁、作者写作的组织模式及有关信息词,如for example,first,second……预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实。
(3)将自己的精力放在寻找所需要的细节上,快速通篇阅读,眼睛自左至右、自下而上呈Z形扫视,待找到含有相关细节的句子时,就要放慢速度,仔细核对,比较内容,直至找到答案。
(二)语义理解题
在阅读中,我们经常会遇到一些生词,需要根据上下文猜测它们的意思。此类问题考查学生紧扣原文,根据上下文语境判断单词、词语或短句意义的能力。常见的题型有:直接对生词进行解释;对多义词或短语在文章具体语言环境中的意义作出准确判断;对英语中的一些格言或谚语进行解释;对文中一些代词的指代对象作出界定等。这种题型常见的设题方式如下:
(1)The underlined word(phrase)in the passage means______.
(2)The word“it/them”in the first paragraph refers to______.
(3)The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means____.
(4)What does the underlined word“…”refer to______.

在做此类题时,考生应紧扣原文,根据上下文语境进行判断,切不要望文生义或断章取义,也不能只选择自己熟悉的意思。猜测词义的常见方法有:
1)根据构词法猜测词义;
(2)根据上下文猜测词义;
(3)根据定义或解释猜测词义;
(4)根据同义词、反义词以及对比关系猜测词义;
(5)根据生活常识猜测词义。
(三)逻辑推理题
推理判断试题属于深层阅读理解题。它要求考生尽量考虑文中全部信息或事实,在通篇理解文章的基础上,严格按照作者提供的信息推断出作者的言外之意。这种题型常见的设题方式有:
(1)From the text,it can be inferred that______.
(2)The passage suggests that______.
(3)Which of the following best describes______.
(4)The writer’s attitude towards…is______.

这种题目有一定难度,解答时必须根据上下文及相互间的关系或对整篇文章进行深层理解后,才能找到答案。有时甚至还得联系作者的意图、态度等文外之意加以推理。解此类题目可从以下几方面入手:
(1)根据常识判断。即解题时,除弄清文意外,还需借助生活常识、风土人情、传说掌故、名人轶事等进行判断。
(2)根据知识判断。即解题时,运用一些一般性知识,如天文、地理、文学、艺术、科技等自然科学和社会科学知识。
(3)根据计算判断。即解题时,运用一些数学知识进行和差、面积、体积、速度等方面的运算。
(4)根据情节判断。即解题时,从情节所提供的基本事实出发,寻找一定规律,如时间关系、条件关系、因果关系、比较关系、转折关系等作为推理根据。这种题目最容易出现,考生要从时间、地点、事件的情节安排与发展中,深入探讨其逻辑关系及隐喻、引申等因素。
(四)归纳总结题
这种题型要求学生在理解全文的基础上,对文章进行归纳、概括或评价。解这种题目时,不能只凭文中的只言片语而断章取义,如涉及文章的标题(title)、主题(main idea)、结论(conclusion)、结局(end)等有关问题,都需要在细读全文的基础上,结合所学语言知识进行逻辑思维、推理、判断,从而获取文章中的内在信息。常见的设题方式有:
(1)The general idea of the passage is about______.
2)The main idea of the article is______.

(2)速读全文,整体理解短文大意,抓住关键词语,弄清文章的主旨。
(3)根据已知短文内容,着手解题。可先将文后的选择题看一下,然后带着问题再去阅读。这样做,一方面有助于对文章进一步理解,另一方面可以有针对性地从文章中寻找答案。
(4)迅速复读全文,检查自己的理解是否正确,所选答案是否前后矛盾。通过全面考虑,最后确定答案。

High above our heads we see the clouds, sometimes white as wool, sometimes dark and angry, and sometimes shining like gold.
Rain is the eldest child of the clouds. At times he is mild(温和的)and gentle, falling softly and lightly on the dry ground, cooling the dusty streets, and giving water to the thirsty plants and flowers.

According to the law, when people fail to make good use of food and drinks or throw them away at will, they are wasting food. However, there might be different reasons for leaving food uneaten.

“The lord’s son made me race, he is very heavy, and I’m too old to race. He kept beating me. I nearly died.”

He was the only gray cub (灰色幼崽) of the she-wolf. The other cubs had red in their hair. He was gray like his father. He was the strongest cub. He showed more anger than his brothers and sisters. He made more noise.
His father and mother live mainly upon meat. In his first month of life, he lives on mother’s milk. And now, at a month old, when his eyes had been open for about a week, he began to eat meat himself.
There came a time when there was no meat. For many days the cubs did not eat. They were too weak and tired to play. One-Eye, the cub’s father, was killed in the fight over food. Even the she-wolf left home to find meat. But there was nothing. One by one, the cubs died. Only the she-wolf and gray cub were left.
One day the gray cub ran out to hunt for his own food. He met a weasel (鼬) of his size. The rat-like animal ran at him and bit his throat (喉咙). He was nearly dead when the she-wolf arrived just in time to kill and eat the weasel.
The gray cub was not good at hunting yet, and still needed food from his mother. One day, the she-wolf brought him a lynx kitten (小山猫). While eating, he heard great noise. The kitten’s mother had followed the she-wolf here. The she-wolf and the she-lynx started to fight, and they would fight to the death. The gray cub ran forward and bit one of her legs. This was enough to give the she-wolf the time she needed. The lynx was dead, but the she-wolf was badly hurt. For about a week, she didn’t move. The gray cub had to find food for both of them.

Sitting for hours at a time is dangerous and can even lead to death. Today, however, many people spend more time sitting than sleeping.
Researchers say that all the time spent at the desk, at the computer, or in front of the television is taking years off your life. Ancient humans spent their days hunting, working, and moving from place to place. So being active is what our bodies are designed for. As a rapid reaction (反应) to this discovery, many people have begun using standing desks. However, this really isn’t an answer to the question.
A standing desk is a desk specially designed for use without a chair. There are many kinds of them, including normal work desks and special standing computer desks. Researchers say that simply standing instead of sitting won’t make your body much better. Standing only costs a few more calories than sitting and places more stress on your joints (关节) and back. The best way is to actually move around more. Take a walk around the office every half an hour. You can also walk over to your colleagues and talk to them instead of sending emails.
These are just a few ways to start moving more while at work. Outside of work, of course, be sure to do plenty of exercise.
31.What did ancient humans do in the daytime
①Hunt. ②Work. ③ Sit. ④ Move.
A.①②③ B.②③④ C.①③④ D.①②④

A.Normal work desks. B.Standing computer desks.
C.Standing desks. D.Some chairs.

C.people who you live with D.people who you exercise with
34.Which of the following does the writer probably agree
A.Using standing desks is a good way to keep healthy.
B.People should be active both at work and after work.
C.Most people spend more time standing than sleeping.
D.The best way to communicate with others is to send emails.
(2022上·江苏南京·八年级统考期末)Dear Malia and Sasha,
I know that you’ve both had a lot of fun these two years. You have been to many picnics and had all kinds of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn’t have let you eat. But I also know that it hasn’t always been easy for you and Mum. So now I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.
When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me —about how I’d make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then two of you came into my world with those smiles and suddenly, all my big plans didn’t seem so important any more. I soon found that the greatest happiness in my life was that you were so happy. And I realized that my own life wouldn’t mean much if I couldn’t make you two happy. In the end, girls, I ran for (竞选) President: because of what I want for you and for every child in the US.
I want all our children to go to school so that they can learn and grow. I want them to have the chance to go to college even though their parents don’t have enough money. And I want them to get good jobs.
I want us to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our earth cleaner and safer. And I want us to see no difference of different colors and areas because we are all equal (平等的).
I hope both of you will start to give others the chances you’ve had. You know, this country has given our family so much, so you have to, and really should, give something back. When you are doing something larger than yourself, you will realize how helpful you are.
There are the things I want for you—to grow up in the world in which you can make your dreams come true. And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and get what you girls have. That’s why I’ve taken our family on this great adventure.
I am so proud of you. I love you more than I can ever know. And I am thankful every day. Because you behave so well when we get ready to start our new life together in the White House.
Love,
Dad

Throughout history, humans have played some kinds of kicking games. What the world now calls football or soccer in the US began as far back as 2500 B.C.E. with the Chinese game of cuju. However, the sport we know today started from Britain. In the 1840s, England’s Football Association(协会)made a set of rules, and the modern game was born. Today, more than 200 million players all over the world take part in the game, truly making soccer the world’s sport.
So, why is soccer so popular Maybe it’s the game’s spirit: the feeling that the team on the field is your team, their winning makes you happy, and their losing makes you sad. Or maybe it’s the game’s international(国际的)quality. In countries like France, England, Spain and Brazil, most teams have players from many different nations, and these clubs now have fans all over the world. Or perhaps it’s the promise of great wealth(财富). A number of professional(专业的)soccer players, including Brazil’s Neymar and Nigeria’s Victor Moses, come from poor families. Today, both of these players make much money every year.
Soccer is popular for those reasons above, but finally, the main reason for its appeal(吸引力)may be this: It’s a simple game. It can be played anywhere with anything a ball or a can(罐头). And anyone can play it. “You don’t need to be rich to play soccer.” says Peter Alegi, “You just need a flat space and a ball.” Soccer takes less equipment(设备)than some other sports, so it’s not very expensive for a kid to join a soccer team.
It is this simplicity that makes soccer the most popular sport. In Africa, even in rural areas far from the bright lights and big stadiums(体育场), children and adults play the game, often with handmade balls.
38.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1
A.Soccer comes from ancient China. B.England people made rules for soccer.
C.People have played lots of kicking games. D.Soccer has a long history and it is also popular now.
39.The writer uses the examples of Neymar and Victor Moses in Paragraph 2 to show ________.
A.even poor people can also play soccer
B.some professional players can become rich
C.people from different countries love to play soccer
D.they play soccer because they need lots of money
40.What is the most important reason for the popularity (流行) of soccer
A.The game’s spirit. B.The game is not difficult.
C.The promise of great wealth. D.The game’s international quality.

(2022上·江苏泰州·八年级校考期末)A man in Pakistan(巴基斯坦) is now working to help children get an education(教育). When he was a child, he did not go to school because he was too poor.
It is reported that Pakistan has 25 million children who do not go to school. That is the second highest number in the world. Only Nigeria(尼日利亚) has more. Many Pakistani children must work to support their families.
Mohammad Ayub was once one of those children. He is now a firefighter. He also manages a small school. VOA recently visited the school in the capital Islamabad.
Ayub started with just one student in 1982. He saw a boy cleaning cars for days. He asked him, “Why don’t you go to school ” The boy answered that his parents were dead and he had to work to help support his five brothers and three sisters.
Ayub was also an orphan(孤儿) and he, too, had to work to help support his five brothers and three sisters. He said, “When my father died, everyone who came to the funeral(葬礼) said they were sorry, but no one helped.” He sold newspapers and did other work to earn enough money to pay school fees for his brothers and sisters.
Ayub wanted to help the young boy who washed cars, but he did not have enough money to pay the boy’s school fees. _______.
Today, Ayub teaches many children at his school in a public park. Some of the children attend other schools in the morning, but come to Ayub in the afternoon to get help with their homework.
Ayub has helped a large number of poor children since(自从) he began teaching. Many of them come from very poor areas near the park.
Ayub said, “I used to argue with kids who worked ‘Why are you washing someone’s dishes or their clothes Why don’t you study ’”
One of the children he advised to attend classes was Farhat Abbas. Ayub found him working with his friends about 12 years ago. “He followed us back home. He told our parents he wanted to teach us and asked them to send us to his school,” Abbas said.
Today, Abbas is taking classes at a college and is helping Ayub.

(2022上·江苏南通·八年级校联考期末)Imagine (想象) there is a glass on a table in front of you. It has water in it but it is not full. How do you describe the glass Do you say it is half full or half empty
If you say half full, you might be an optimist (乐观主义者). If you say half empty, you might be the opposite (相反的)—a pessimist.
A new study suggests that your level of optimism may affect (影响) your health. People who are optimistic (乐观的) may live longer than those who are pessimistic (悲观的).
Researchers at Harvard University’s of Public Health in Boston did the study. They compared (作比较) women “with a general expectation that good things will happen” with women who were less optimistic. They found that the optimists had a much lower risk of getting several deadly (致命的) diseases (疾病), including cancer and heart disease.
Kaitlin Hagan, a study leader says optimists can take better care of themselves by exercising, eating healthy food and getting enough sleep.
She also says earlier studies show that a person can use simple, low-cost ways to increase optimism. She says each night we can plan to do two or three simple and enjoyable activities. They might be watching the sun rise, visiting a friend, dancing to a favorite song or reading a story with your child.

(2022上·江苏无锡·八年级统考期末)If you’re worried about being a self-centered person, that shows you’ve already taken an important step towards change. Here is a useful list of simple things you can try that can help you focus(关注)less on yourself and more on the needs of others. Even small changes in your daily life can make a big difference!
Focus on listening instead of talking. Give others your full attention(注意力)and really hear them out. Self-centered people often make conversations go around themselves and they are easy to get bored when the focus isn’t on them. If this sounds like you, you can break that habit! Give others a chance to speak and do your best to show that you’re really listening.
Put yourself in someone else’s shoes. Imagining(想象)yourself in their situations(情形)helps you understand them better. If your friends are telling you about something that happened to them, you can try to ask yourself how you’d feel and what you’d need if you were them. Then, keep those things in mind when you reply to your friend.
Use fewer “I” and “me” sentences. Don’t always want to talk about yourself in every conversation. You can’t focus on anyone else if you’re always talking about yourself. Try to actively lower the number of “I” and “me” sentences you make in daily conversations.

(2022上·江苏南通·八年级统考期末)The six Chinese astronauts from the Shenzhou-l4 and Shenzhou-15 missions marked a historic moment on 30 November as they met inside the country’s Tiangong space station. It was the first time that six Chinese were in a space station at the same time and the first in-orbit (轨道内的) gathering of two Chinese crews (乘组).
The Shenzhou-15 crew set out on the journey to the Tiangong station on the night of 29 November from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China’s Gobi Desert. They rode a spaceship that was lifted into space by a Long March 2F rocket. At 7:33 a.m. (Beijing Time), the Shenzhou-14 astronauts opened the door of their “space home” to welcome the Shenzhou-15 astronauts. The six then took a group photo to record the great moment.

(2022上·江苏·八年级统考期末)On April 29, the National People’s Congress (NPC)passed a new food waste law that will be carried out immediately, CGTN reported. The newly-passed law more clearly defines(定义)food waste, as well as makes clear the responsibilities(责任)of both diners and restaurants.
According to the law, when people fail to make good use of food and drinks or throw them away at will, they are wasting food. However, there might be different reasons for leaving food uneaten. For example, students might not finish their meal because they don’t think it tastes good. In this situation, school cafeterias should improve the taste of their food.
On the other hand, restaurants should not mislead diners to order too much food, either. Otherwise, they will face a fine of up to 10, 000 yuan. Restaurants can charge(收费)diners a disposal fee(处理费用)if they waste too much food, China Daily reported.
The new law will ensure food safety and promote thrift(勤俭节约). “Food that is wasted should be used in a much better way,” said Wu Zidan, a professor at Jilin University.
Food waste is a serious problem in China. The new law aims to prevent food waste and achieve one of the goals of the UN 2030 Agenda: Zero Hunger. The world is in danger of a food crisis(危机)in the next 50 years, according to a UN report.

I’m Black Beauty. My hoof(蹄)was badly hurt. I could not work. I stayed in a field. Ginger came into the field. She was sick and angry.
“You can’t work,” she said, “and I can’t breathe(呼吸).”
“The lord’s son made me race, he is very heavy, and I’m too old to race. He kept beating me. I nearly died.”
A week later, the lord and York came into the field. They watched me move. “That horse is useless, and we cannot keep him here. We must sell him,” the lord said.
A week later, York led me away. York’s friend who lived in another city bought me. I was very sad and so was Ginger.

I now worked with Peggy. She was a beautiful horse, but she walked strangely.
“My legs are short,” she told me, “My first owner sold me to a new owner. The new owner was not good. He did not care about me. He cared only about going quickly.”

“Perhaps your stableman is stealing your horse’s food.” Mr. Barry’s friend said. Mr. Barry found out the truth, and he sent for the police. They took Fletcher away.
Soon a new stableman came. He was very lazy, and never cleaned the stable(马厩). He covered old, dirty straw(稻草)with clean straw.

The Shenzhou-15 crewed spaceship was launched (发射) successfully from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Northwest China on the evening of November 29, 2022.
The spaceship took three astronauts (Fei Junlong, Deng Qingming and Zhang Lu) to carry out the Shenzhou-15 spaceflight mission (任务). This is the second time Fei has gone into space.”Fei is the commander.” said Ji Qiming, the director of the CMSA.
After entering orbit (轨道), Fei’s team made the first in-orbit shift with the three Shenzhou-14 crew. Then, the Shenzhou-15 spaceship entered the country’s space station. There, Fei Junlong, Deng Qingming and Zhang Lu met with another three astronauts of the Shenzhou-14 spaceship. This was a historic time, because this was the first time that as many as six Chinese people were travelling in space at the same time. They took a group picture with their thumbs up. The six astronauts lived and worked together for about five days to finish planned tasks and handover work. After that, the Shenzhou-14 crew flew back to the Earth.
The Shenzhou-15 crew will stay inside the Tiangong space station and carry out three to four spacewalks through the mission. Their main tasks include unlocking, installing and testing 15 scientific equipment (设备) doing more than 40 scientific experiments (实验) and so on. They are going to return to the Earth in May, 2023.
As the final step in the building of the Tiangong space station, the Shenzhou-15 mission also marks the first step in the operation (运行) of the space station. The Tiangong space station turned into its largest size after the arrival of the Shenzhou-15 spaceship. Weighing nearly 100 tons, it is one of the largest space-based structures mankind has ever built in outer space. Maybe it will be open to foreign astronauts in the near future, according to the CMSA.
China’s space station is always worth (值得) looking forward to. Keep up the good work.
14.The Shenzhou-15 crew will stay ________ inside the Tiangong space station.

He was the only gray cub (灰色幼崽) of the she-wolf. The other cubs had red in their hair. He was gray like his father. He was the strongest cub. He showed more anger than his brothers and sisters. He made more noise.
His father and mother live mainly upon meat. In his first month of life, he lives on mother’s milk. And now, at a month old, when his eyes had been open for about a week, he began to eat meat himself.
There came a time when there was no meat. For many days the cubs did not eat. They were too weak and tired to play. One-Eye, the cub’s father, was killed in the fight over food. Even the she-wolf left home to find meat. But there was nothing. One by one, the cubs died. Only the she-wolf and gray cub were left.
One day the gray cub ran out to hunt for his own food. He met a weasel (鼬) of his size. The rat-like animal ran at him and bit his throat (喉咙). He was nearly dead when the she-wolf arrived just in time to kill and eat the weasel.
The gray cub was not good at hunting yet, and still needed food from his mother. One day, the she-wolf brought him a lynx kitten (小山猫). While eating, he heard great noise. The kitten’s mother had followed the she-wolf here. The she-wolf and the she-lynx started to fight, and they would fight to the death. The gray cub ran forward and bit one of her legs. This was enough to give the she-wolf the time she needed. The lynx was dead, but the she-wolf was badly hurt. For about a week, she didn’t move. The gray cub had to find food for both of them.
Without his mother to take care of him, he learnt what life was about. Without meat there was no life. Animals had to eat other animals to live. The law was: EAT OR BE EATEN.

(2022上·江苏南京·八年级统考期末)
Sitting for hours at a time is dangerous and can even lead to death. Today, however, many people spend more time sitting than sleeping.
Researchers say that all the time spent at the desk, at the computer, or in front of the television is taking years off your life. Ancient humans spent their days hunting, working, and moving from place to place. So being active is what our bodies are designed for. As a rapid reaction (反应) to this discovery, many people have begun using standing desks. However, this really isn’t an answer to the question.
A standing desk is a desk specially designed for use without a chair. There are many kinds of them, including normal work desks and special standing computer desks. Researchers say that simply standing instead of sitting won’t make your body much better. Standing only costs a few more calories than sitting and places more stress on your joints (关节) and back. The best way is to actually move around more. Take a walk around the office every half an hour. You can also walk over to your colleagues and talk to them instead of sending emails.
These are just a few ways to start moving more while at work. Outside of work, of course, be sure to do plenty of exercise.
31.What did ancient humans do in the daytime
①Hunt. ②Work. ③ Sit. ④ Move.
A.①②③ B.②③④ C.①③④ D.①②④
32.What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to
A.Normal work desks. B.Standing computer desks.
C.Standing desks. D.Some chairs.
33.The underlined word “colleagues” probably means “_______”.
A.people who you study with B.people who you work with
C.people who you live with D.people who you exercise with
34.Which of the following does the writer probably agree
A.Using standing desks is a good way to keep healthy.
B.People should be active both at work and after work.
C.Most people spend more time standing than sleeping.
D.The best way to communicate with others is to send emails.
【答案】31.D 32.C 33.B 34.B

(2022上·江苏南京·八年级统考期末)Dear Malia and Sasha,
I know that you’ve both had a lot of fun these two years. You have been to many picnics and had all kinds of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn’t have let you eat. But I also know that it hasn’t always been easy for you and Mum. So now I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.
When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me —about how I’d make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then two of you came into my world with those smiles and suddenly, all my big plans didn’t seem so important any more. I soon found that the greatest happiness in my life was that you were so happy. And I realized that my own life wouldn’t mean much if I couldn’t make you two happy. In the end, girls, I ran for (竞选) President: because of what I want for you and for every child in the US.
I want all our children to go to school so that they can learn and grow. I want them to have the chance to go to college even though their parents don’t have enough money. And I want them to get good jobs.
I want us to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our earth cleaner and safer. And I want us to see no difference of different colors and areas because we are all equal (平等的).
I hope both of you will start to give others the chances you’ve had. You know, this country has given our family so much, so you have to, and really should, give something back. When you are doing something larger than yourself, you will realize how helpful you are.
There are the things I want for you—to grow up in the world in which you can make your dreams come true. And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and get what you girls have. That’s why I’ve taken our family on this great adventure.
I am so proud of you. I love you more than I can ever know. And I am thankful every day. Because you behave so well when we get ready to start our new life together in the White House.
Love,
Dad

Throughout history, humans have played some kinds of kicking games. What the world now calls football or soccer in the US began as far back as 2500 B.C.E. with the Chinese game of cuju. However, the sport we know today started from Britain. In the 1840s, England’s Football Association(协会)made a set of rules, and the modern game was born. Today, more than 200 million players all over the world take part in the game, truly making soccer the world’s sport.
So, why is soccer so popular Maybe it’s the game’s spirit: the feeling that the team on the field is your team, their winning makes you happy, and their losing makes you sad. Or maybe it’s the game’s international(国际的)quality. In countries like France, England, Spain and Brazil, most teams have players from many different nations, and these clubs now have fans all over the world. Or perhaps it’s the promise of great wealth(财富). A number of professional(专业的)soccer players, including Brazil’s Neymar and Nigeria’s Victor Moses, come from poor families. Today, both of these players make much money every year.
Soccer is popular for those reasons above, but finally, the main reason for its appeal(吸引力)may be this: It’s a simple game. It can be played anywhere with anything a ball or a can(罐头). And anyone can play it. “You don’t need to be rich to play soccer.” says Peter Alegi, “You just need a flat space and a ball.” Soccer takes less equipment(设备)than some other sports, so it’s not very expensive for a kid to join a soccer team.
It is this simplicity that makes soccer the most popular sport. In Africa, even in rural areas far from the bright lights and big stadiums(体育场), children and adults play the game, often with handmade balls.
38.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1
A.Soccer comes from ancient China. B.England people made rules for soccer.

A.even poor people can also play soccer

C.people from different countries love to play soccer
D.they play soccer because they need lots of money
40.What is the most important reason for the popularity (流行) of soccer

It is reported that Pakistan has 25 million children who do not go to school. That is the second highest number in the world. Only Nigeria(尼日利亚) has more. Many Pakistani children must work to support their families.
Mohammad Ayub was once one of those children. He is now a firefighter. He also manages a small school. VOA recently visited the school in the capital Islamabad.
Ayub started with just one student in 1982. He saw a boy cleaning cars for days. He asked him, “Why don’t you go to school ” The boy answered that his parents were dead and he had to work to help support his five brothers and three sisters.

(2022上·江苏南通·八年级校联考期末)Imagine (想象) there is a glass on a table in front of you. It has water in it but it is not full. How do you describe the glass Do you say it is half full or half empty
If you say half full, you might be an optimist (乐观主义者). If you say half empty, you might be the opposite (相反的)—a pessimist.
A new study suggests that your level of optimism may affect (影响) your health. People who are optimistic (乐观的) may live longer than those who are pessimistic (悲观的).
Researchers at Harvard University’s of Public Health in Boston did the study. They compared (作比较) women “with a general expectation that good things will happen” with women who were less optimistic. They found that the optimists had a much lower risk of getting several deadly (致命的) diseases (疾病), including cancer and heart disease.
Kaitlin Hagan, a study leader says optimists can take better care of themselves by exercising, eating healthy food and getting enough sleep.
She also says earlier studies show that a person can use simple, low-cost ways to increase optimism. She says each night we can plan to do two or three simple and enjoyable activities. They might be watching the sun rise, visiting a friend, dancing to a favorite song or reading a story with your child.
69.From the passage, we can know ________.
A.we should drink a glass of water every day
B.optimists may live shorter than those who are pessimistic
C.we should make more friends to be optimistic

(2022上·江苏无锡·八年级统考期末)If you’re worried about being a self-centered person, that shows you’ve already taken an important step towards change. Here is a useful list of simple things you can try that can help you focus(关注)less on yourself and more on the needs of others. Even small changes in your daily life can make a big difference!
Focus on listening instead of talking. Give others your full attention(注意力)and really hear them out. Self-centered people often make conversations go around themselves and they are easy to get bored when the focus isn’t on them. If this sounds like you, you can break that habit! Give others a chance to speak and do your best to show that you’re really listening.
Put yourself in someone else’s shoes. Imagining(想象)yourself in their situations(情形)helps you understand them better. If your friends are telling you about something that happened to them, you can try to ask yourself how you’d feel and what you’d need if you were them. Then, keep those things in mind when you reply to your friend.
Use fewer “I” and “me” sentences. Don’t always want to talk about yourself in every conversation. You can’t focus on anyone else if you’re always talking about yourself. Try to actively lower the number of “I” and “me” sentences you make in daily conversations. Studies show that talking about yourself less often can make you happier and healthier, so try to remind(提醒)yourself of that.
