·模块一 阅读单选技巧
·模块二 阅读单选（名校期末真题）进阶练20篇
（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______.
（5）By … the writer means______.
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______.
（5）From the text，we learn that______.
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______.
（3）The main purpose of this selection is______.
4）The passage suggests that______.
5）Which of the following best states the theme of thepassage
具体解题时，应注意一些技巧：
（1）首先看短文的开头和结尾，确定短文题材，预测其内容。每段的第一句话往往会提供重要信息，可以帮助我们搜索各段落乃至整篇文章的大意。
（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。
（2022上·上海普陀·八年级校联考期末）A reader wrote to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend wasn’t around. Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.
It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime. You want to have new friends. But how do you make them Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends.
Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play with at break. Look for chances to say Hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation(欣赏) to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here ” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to the kids you want to play with.
If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help—and pretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends.
You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before she/he left: You can introduce her/him to your new friends!

（2022上·上海虹口·八年级上外附中校考期末）Anna Douglas was 72 years old when she started writing her newspaper column. After she retired, she found a volunteer job with an agency. The agency that she chose to work for helped find jobs for old people. Every day she talked with other retired people like herself. By talking, she recognized two things: Old people had abilities that were not being used. Old people also had problems—mostly problems with communication.
Mrs. Douglas found a new purpose for herself. She had written stories about people for national magazines. Now there was a subject: old people like herself. She began to write a newspaper column called “Sixty Phis”, which focuses on getting old. She wrote about the problems of the aged, especially their problems with being misunderstood.
Anna Douglas tries to see the truth behind a problem. She understands the reasons why problems begin. She understands old people and young people as well. For example, one of her readers said that his grandchildren left the house every time he came to visit. Mrs. Douglas suggested some ways for him to increase understanding with his grandchildren. She told him to listen to young people’s music and to watch the most popular television shows.
“It’s important to know something about your grandchildren’s world,” says Mrs. Douglas. “That means questions and listening—and listening is not what old people do best.” She continues, “Say good things to them and about them. Never criticize your grandchildren or any other youngsters, teenagers, or young adults. Never tell them that they are wrong. Don’t give them your opinion. They have been taught that they should have respect for old people. The old should also have respect for the young.”

（2022上·上海浦东新·八年级上海民办华二浦东实验学校校考期末）
More than 60 years after scientists made big discoveries about the structure of DNA, 20 students at US Coretta Scott King Young Women’s Leadership Academy gained insight（了解）into some of the molecular（分子的）mysteries that make them who they are.
Last fall, while studying life sciences, the girls sent samples（样本）of their DNA off to Living DNA, a DNA testing company. The test results became known last week and they left a big impression on the students, who were able to make real-world connections to topics they have been studying all semester long, including genotypes（基因型）.
“Students were able to maturely（成熟地）look at their results and apply what they learned in science. It’s about bringing learning to life,” said Laura Pena, the STEM program teacher.
For most of the girls, the DNA test was their ancestry（血统）. Sitting with her mom, Amariah Caudle, 15, looked with her mouth wide open at the charts showing her results. She was surprised that her European ancestry was only 13 percent. Her mother, Janell Caudle, was surprised it was that high.
“I didn’t think a trace（痕迹）would show up in her,” she said. “After many generations, this is still showing up in our bloodline（血统）. I was shocked by the science of it all.”
DNA has a power to engage people, said Diahan Southard, Living DNA community manager. Southard believes the program gives students an understanding of DNA at an important moment, when they are still young enough to absorb lessons and change their values.
Elianed Guzman, 14, said she knew little about her family except that they were from Mexico. She described in her native Spanish how surprised she was to learn that she shared genetic DNA with people in China, Japan and Korea.
As the girls sat in small groups to examine their results, with reactions ranging from confusion to surprise, they began to understand what it all means.
“Now I know I have family from everywhere,” said Amariah.
22．Scientists made big discoveries about the structure of DNA possibly________.
A．in the 1910s B．in the 1930s C．in the 1950s D．in the 1990s
23．How did the students feel when they found out the DNA test results
A．Anxious. B．Doubtful. C．Impressed. D．Calm.
24．Why was Amariah Caudle’s mother surprised
A．People had the opportunity to test their DNA． B．The European trace showed up in Amariah’s DNA．
C．Amariah possibly had European ancestry. D．Amariah shared genetic DNA with people from Asia.
25．What does Southard think of the program
A．It helps students understand their DNAs. B．It has a great power to bring people together.
C．It will change their students’ DNAs. D．It should be introduced to more people around the country.
26．What did the students learn from the program
A．People need to accept who they are. B．We should learn more about family history.
C．People’s personalities can be explained by their bloodlines. D．People from all over the world are connected with each other.
27．The best title for the passage is ________.
A．Our amazing past B．Our amazing present C．Our amazing future D．Our past, present and future
【答案】22．C 23．C 24．B 25．A 26．D 27．A
【导语】本文讲述了美国科雷塔·斯科特·金青年女子领导力学院的20名学生从她们的DNA检测中了解到自己的血统从而认识到世界人民是相互联系的。
22．推理判断题。根据“More than 60 years after scientists made big discoveries about the structure of DNA, 20 students at US Coretta Scott King Young Women’s Leadership Academy gained insight（了解）into some of the molecular（分子的）mysteries that make them who they are.”可知，在科学家对DNA结构做出重大发现60多年后，美国科雷塔·斯科特·金青年女子领导力学院的20名学生了解一些分子的奥秘。以现在的时间往前推60年，则科学家对DNA的结构有了重大发现的时间可能是在20世纪50年代左右。故选C。
23．细节理解题。根据“The test results became known last week and they left a big impression on the students, who were able to make real-world connections to topics they have been studying all semester long, including genotypes（基因型）.”可知，测试结果于上周公布，给学生们留下了深刻的印象，他们能够将自己整个学期所学的主题（包括基因型）与现实世界联系起来。故选C。
24．细节理解题。根据“She was surprised that her European ancestry was only 13 percent. Her mother, Janell Caudle, was surprised it was that high.”可知，她很惊讶自己的欧洲血统只有13%。她的母亲珍妮尔·考德尔惊讶地发现它竟然这么高。再根据“‘I didn’t think a trace（痕迹）would show up in her,’ she said.”可知，她的母亲以为欧洲血统在她女儿身上并没有显露出来，而检测结果却有。故选B。
25．细节理解题。根据“Southard believes the program gives students an understanding of DNA at an important moment, when they are still young enough to absorb lessons and change their values.”可知，索萨德认为，这个项目让学生在一个重要的时刻了解DNA，这时他们还足够年轻，可以吸取教训，改变自己的价值观。故选A。
26．推理判断题。根据“Now I know I have family from everywhere”可知，学生们通过基因检测了解到了世界各地的人民在血缘上都相互联系着。故选D。
27．最佳标题题。根据“For most of the girls, the DNA test was their ancestry（血统）.”可知，学生们参与的DNA检测是关于她们的血统的，且从其检测结果让学生们了解自己的血统来源，从而让她们意识到世界是相互联系的。因此选项A“我们惊人的过去”作为标题最为合适。故选A。

（2022上·上海嘉定·八年级统考期末）A subway is not just an important form of transport. It is also a window for other people to learn about local cultures.
Beijing, China
The Beijing Subway was opened in 1969 and is the oldest subway system in China. It has added some modern technologies. All stations now have touch-screen maps. In some stations, people can also see traditional Chinese cultures. For example, on the walls of a few stations of Line 8, there are some pictures of blue and white porcelain (青花瓷).
Stockholm, Sweden
The system of the Stockholm Subway has 100 stations in use, of which 47 are underground and 53 above ground. The first subway line for Stockholm was opened in 1950. The Stockholm Subway is well-known for its decoration of the stations. It is called the longest art gallery in the world. Over 90 percent of its stations are decorated with paintings. A few stations are decorated with red bedrocks (岩床). This makes you feel as if you are in a cave.
London, UK
The London Underground or the Tube is the oldest subway in the world. It was opened in 1863. During World War II, it was used to protect people from German plane attacks (袭击) on London. Now, it is a symbol of the city. There is no air conditioning in the trains, so it is very hot in summer.
New York, US
The New York City Subway has the most extensive public transportation system in the world, with 469 stations. It is also one of the world’s oldest public transit systems.

（2022上·上海黄浦·八年级统考阶段练习）When we think of food farming, we usually think of green fields in the country outside the city. Sam Chee works on a very different type of farm, in the center of the Canadian city of Toronto. “We grow fruits, vegetables and herbs,” says Sam. “But not many people know the farm is here. You can’t see it from the street. We’re on top of an office building, 50 meters above the ground.”
Rooftop farming is becoming popular in cities like Toronto, New York and London. The roofs of buildings are often just wasted space, but this space can be used for growing good fresh food right in the middle of the city. Sam explains how it works. “We grow everything in big pots and boxes—there are hundreds of them. We catch rainwater to water the plants when the weather is dry.”
The rooftop farm where Sam works belongs to a restaurant called Green Garden, on the ground floor of the building. The farm produces about half the restaurant’s fruits and vegetables. Sam believes that the rooftop farm is what makes Green Garden special. “We help to keep food production local. We don’t need to transport this food from anywhere, and that saves energy. It’s better for the environment.”
The food from the rooftop is fresher too. “When the fruit and vegetables are ripe (成熟), we can pick them and use them right away. They taste better when they’re really fresh,” says Sam.
“I hope that there will be more rooftop farms in the city soon. It could be the farming of the future.”

A．it’s cheaper and tastes better B．it is fresher and better for the environment

85．The best title of the passage should be _________.
A．The City of Toronto B．Fresh Fruits, Vegetables and Herbs

（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：

（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；

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：

5）Which of the following best states the theme of thepassage
具体解题时，应注意一些技巧：
（1）首先看短文的开头和结尾，确定短文题材，预测其内容。每段的第一句话往往会提供重要信息，可以帮助我们搜索各段落乃至整篇文章的大意。
（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。
（2022上·上海普陀·八年级校联考期末）A reader wrote to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend wasn’t around. Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.
It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime. You want to have new friends. But how do you make them Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends.
Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play with at break. Look for chances to say Hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation(欣赏) to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here ” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to the kids you want to play with.
If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help—and pretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends.

（2022上·上海虹口·八年级上外附中校考期末）Anna Douglas was 72 years old when she started writing her newspaper column. After she retired, she found a volunteer job with an agency. The agency that she chose to work for helped find jobs for old people. Every day she talked with other retired people like herself. By talking, she recognized two things: Old people had abilities that were not being used. Old people also had problems—mostly problems with communication.
Mrs. Douglas found a new purpose for herself. She had written stories about people for national magazines. Now there was a subject: old people like herself. She began to write a newspaper column called “Sixty Phis”, which focuses on getting old. She wrote about the problems of the aged, especially their problems with being misunderstood.
Anna Douglas tries to see the truth behind a problem. She understands the reasons why problems begin. She understands old people and young people as well. For example, one of her readers said that his grandchildren left the house every time he came to visit. Mrs. Douglas suggested some ways for him to increase understanding with his grandchildren. She told him to listen to young people’s music and to watch the most popular television shows.
“It’s important to know something about your grandchildren’s world,” says Mrs. Douglas. “That means questions and listening—and listening is not what old people do best.” She continues, “Say good things to them and about them. Never criticize your grandchildren or any other youngsters, teenagers, or young adults. Never tell them that they are wrong. Don’t give them your opinion. They have been taught that they should have respect for old people. The old should also have respect for the young.”

（2022上·上海浦东新·八年级上海民办华二浦东实验学校校考期末）
More than 60 years after scientists made big discoveries about the structure of DNA, 20 students at US Coretta Scott King Young Women’s Leadership Academy gained insight（了解）into some of the molecular（分子的）mysteries that make them who they are.
Last fall, while studying life sciences, the girls sent samples（样本）of their DNA off to Living DNA, a DNA testing company. The test results became known last week and they left a big impression on the students, who were able to make real-world connections to topics they have been studying all semester long, including genotypes（基因型）.
“Students were able to maturely（成熟地）look at their results and apply what they learned in science. It’s about bringing learning to life,” said Laura Pena, the STEM program teacher.
For most of the girls, the DNA test was their ancestry（血统）. Sitting with her mom, Amariah Caudle, 15, looked with her mouth wide open at the charts showing her results. She was surprised that her European ancestry was only 13 percent. Her mother, Janell Caudle, was surprised it was that high.
“I didn’t think a trace（痕迹）would show up in her,” she said. “After many generations, this is still showing up in our bloodline（血统）. I was shocked by the science of it all.”
DNA has a power to engage people, said Diahan Southard, Living DNA community manager. Southard believes the program gives students an understanding of DNA at an important moment, when they are still young enough to absorb lessons and change their values.
Elianed Guzman, 14, said she knew little about her family except that they were from Mexico. She described in her native Spanish how surprised she was to learn that she shared genetic DNA with people in China, Japan and Korea.
As the girls sat in small groups to examine their results, with reactions ranging from confusion to surprise, they began to understand what it all means.
“Now I know I have family from everywhere,” said Amariah.
22．Scientists made big discoveries about the structure of DNA possibly________.
A．in the 1910s B．in the 1930s C．in the 1950s D．in the 1990s

A．People had the opportunity to test their DNA． B．The European trace showed up in Amariah’s DNA．
C．Amariah possibly had European ancestry. D．Amariah shared genetic DNA with people from Asia.
25．What does Southard think of the program
A．It helps students understand their DNAs. B．It has a great power to bring people together.
C．It will change their students’ DNAs. D．It should be introduced to more people around the country.

（2022上·上海金山·八年级校联考期末）We use the Internet for many things: business, shopping, writing letters, talking to people,
finding information and so on. In recent years, a new kind of English has grown on the Internet. There’s no real word for it yet, so we’ll call it e-talk.
People don’t like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters (called acronyms 首字母缩略). Acronyms are often used in chat rooms (聊天室). Some of them are:
People also use many abbreviations (缩写词). They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations are:
We usually don’t see people when we communicate on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keyboards to draw “feelings”, such as:
These days, many forums (论坛) have picture feelings. For example:
There are even whole new words, like “newbies” (someone who is new on a chat board or forum). When you write something bad about someone else, it’s called “flaming” the person.
It takes time for people to get used to e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating. Newbies sometimes have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.
28．Why do people type acronyms
A．To show their feelings. B．To make jokes.
C．Because people can type them quickly. D．In this way newbies won’t understand them.

（2022上·上海嘉定·八年级统考期末）A subway is not just an important form of transport. It is also a window for other people to learn about local cultures.

The Beijing Subway was opened in 1969 and is the oldest subway system in China. It has added some modern technologies. All stations now have touch-screen maps. In some stations, people can also see traditional Chinese cultures. For example, on the walls of a few stations of Line 8, there are some pictures of blue and white porcelain (青花瓷).

A few stations are decorated with red bedrocks (岩床). This makes you feel as if you are in a cave.

（2022上·上海黄浦·八年级统考阶段练习）When we think of food farming, we usually think of green fields in the country outside the city. Sam Chee works on a very different type of farm, in the center of the Canadian city of Toronto. “We grow fruits, vegetables and herbs,” says Sam. “But not many people know the farm is here. You can’t see it from the street. We’re on top of an office building, 50 meters above the ground.”
Rooftop farming is becoming popular in cities like Toronto, New York and London. The roofs of buildings are often just wasted space, but this space can be used for growing good fresh food right in the middle of the city. Sam explains how it works. “We grow everything in big pots and boxes—there are hundreds of them. We catch rainwater to water the plants when the weather is dry.”
The rooftop farm where Sam works belongs to a restaurant called Green Garden, on the ground floor of the building. The farm produces about half the restaurant’s fruits and vegetables. Sam believes that the rooftop farm is what makes Green Garden special. “We help to keep food production local. We don’t need to transport this food from anywhere, and that saves energy. It’s better for the environment.”
The food from the rooftop is fresher too. “When the fruit and vegetables are ripe (成熟), we can pick them and use them right away. They taste better when they’re really fresh,” says Sam.
“I hope that there will be more rooftop farms in the city soon. It could be the farming of the future.”
81．Green Garden’s rooftop farm is _________.
A．in the countryside B．in the middle of a small town
C．in the city center of Toronto D．near the city of New York

C．taken home by the people working there D．offered to people working in the building
83．The underlined word “this space” in paragraph 2 refers to _________.
A．the roof of the building where Sam works B．different types of open space in cities
C．the roofs of city buildings D．green fields in the countryside
84．According to Sam, the food from the rooftop is better than the food bought from other places because _________.
A．it’s cheaper and tastes better B．it is fresher and better for the environment
C．it uses wasted space in the city D．it can’t be bought in the local supermarket
85．The best title of the passage should be _________.

The undersea world is very beautiful. Now more and more people want to dive in the water to find the secrets there. Scuba diving is a new sport! It can take you into a wonderful undersea world.
You will find many strange animals in the sea. Some are as large as a school bus.
Many sea animals give out light in the dark and some have sharp teeth.
During the day, there is enough light. Here under the sea, everything is blue and green. When fish swim nearby, you can catch them with your hands.

The deep sea is not an easy place to live in. It’s cold, and it’s dark, too. The deeper it is, the less sunlight there is. At about 3,000 feet deep, there is no light at all. It is dark in the sea. Many fishes have no eyes. Some have big eyes. A few have eyes on one side.
Besides the cold and darkness, deep-sea animals face a third danger—other animals.
Animals eat animals! They must find food to eat. Many animals eat plants. However, some animals eat meat. This means these sea animals have two big jobs. They need to find animals for food, and they have to try not to become other animals’ meat.

Do you have a mobile phone Do you send text messages to your friends and family
Text messaging or “texting” is becoming very popular. But, scientists have discovered that texting can give us problems with our hands. Be careful! Too much texting can cause swelling（肿胀）in our thumbs（拇指）and wrists（手腕）. Our thumbs are not made for pushing small buttons, over and over. Scientists call this problem RSI.
We spoke to a doctor called Harriet Wilson, who treats many patients with RSI. She said we needed to see how much time we were spending in typing text messages. If we are spending more than 10-15 minutes at once, we could have problems in the future.
We also talked with Dr Harjeet Deepa who treats（治疗）RSI patients. He told us that the youngest patient she had treated was a five-year-old girl. She wasn’t doing well at school, so her parents took her for treatment. It was found that she had such bad RSI in her hands, she couldn’t hold a pencil.
As mobile phones develop, they are getting smaller with buttons closer together. Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons. Using a computer keyboard and playing video games can also cause the same problem. So, more and more people could find themselves with RSI.
Many university students and teenagers have RSI, as they do not know the danger of spending so much time using computers, video games and mobile phones. If we don’t do something about this, too many young people could grow up in terrible pain.
98．Because ________, people have the problem RSI.
A．more people have mobile phones
B．texting is becoming very popular
C．people type too many text messages
D．our thumbs were made for pushing buttons
99．________ were interviewed about the problem RSI in this passage.
A．The writer and a little girl B．Harriet Wilson and Harjeet Deepa

（2023上·上海徐汇·八年级位育中学校考校考）Henry has recently received a letter from Paul, his pen-friend living in Canada. Here is the letter:
Dear Henry,
Thanks very much for your email, which I want to reply to for ages.
I have finished all my exams. The last one was History. It's extremely horrible because our teacher set a lot of long questions but only a few multiple choice items. I think this subject is difficult because there're lots of facts and dates to remember. I've got a poor memory and I hate to remember things. I'm afraid I won't pass the examination.
So this is the end of Year 8, my second year at secondary school. I did eight subjects in total. The worst were History and French. I find them very boring and difficult to learn. I've already forgotten most of the things I was taught! I need to study hard next year.
I liked Geography best this year, but we only had it twice a week. Our Geography teacher, Mr. Hill, is great. He taught the subject very well. He didn't like to spoon-feed students with lots of facts. He preferred to let us learn independently. He didn't give us any homework the whole year. Perhaps he hated doing homework when he's a student!
We did a project with Mr. Hill about several countries in Europe and Asia. Some of my friends went to the library for photos and I used the internet to search for appropriate information. Mr. Hill gave us a lot of valuable advice. At the end of the term, we gave an oral presentation in front of the class. I'd like to be a pilot, then I could travel and see all those places.
I'm going to visit Tokyo with my three classmates next month. We won't stay in a hotel because my uncle has a large house there. You visited ·Tokyo last year, didn't you Do you think we need to learn some Japanese before our journey You've told me that Japanese food is delicious, haven't you We'll have the opportunity to try it ourselves soon! I've saved money for the journey for nearly half a year. We're all very excited about it.
Please tell me about your year at school. Were your exams easy
Best wishes,
Paul

（2021上·上海虹口·八年级上外附中校考阶段练习）Chinese shoppers have spent big over the Singles’ Day shopping festival. This year, sales on Alibaba’s e-commerce platform Tmall exceeded 372.3 billion yuan. Every year this time, the high of shopping may feel like a drug and few Chinese will sit out this remarkable carnival.
And the retailers may be onto something.All year round, festival shopping never seems to disappear. Chinese companies are trying to expand Double Eleven’s shopping mindset to other holidays. These days, it’s commonplace for holidays in China to be commercialized. You can now buy Starbucks-branded treats for the Dragon Boat Festival, floral arrangements for any of the three Valentine’s Days celebrated in China — Qixi Festival, May 20, and Western Valentine’s Day — or elegantly packaged moon cakes for Mid-Autumn Festival. Children’s Day is now as targeted at nostalgic millennials as it is children, and retailers have even tried turning International Women’s Day into “Queens’ Day” and “Goddesses’ Day” with discounts targeting the so-called “she” economy. It’s as if conveying something. Want to tell someone you love them Buy them something. Going through a rough breakup Buy yourself something. Unhappy with your life Buy a new one.
The siren call of consumerism is hard to resist, even —or perhaps especially — in difficult economic times. Economists like to talk about what’s called the lipstick effect: When the economy declines, lipstick sales often increase. In times such as these, when we don’t have enough disposable income for the kind of major purchases that can have material impacts on our lives, sometimes it’s still nice to buy something small — like a tube of lipstick. Relatively inexpensive commodities such as these can satisfy our innate desire to consume, thereby giving us an emotional boost.
Double Eleven may be a shopping holiday, but the effects are more than just economic: The day has become a psychological crutch. Buying something on Double Eleven is our way of saying “Everything’s OK,” even when it’s not. As long as that’s the case, retailers can rest easy, at least for one day.

C．Mary wants to decorate her room. She decides to paint the wall green instead of buying expensive furniture because she doesn’t have enough money. Although it is cheap, she still feels happy.
D．Dan decided to buy a lipstick for his girlfriend on Valentine’s Day and he’s got two choices. The most popular lipstick “Dior 999” is more expensive than “Mac see sheer”. But Mac suits his girlfriend better. So he bought the Mac and he is happy that his girl loves it.
