Measuring Qomolangma
In 1856, a British survey team measured the height of Qomolangma, also known as Mount Everest in the West. While this initial result showed that Qomolangma reached a height of 8,840 meters above sea level, the exact measurement of the world’s highest mountain has never been settled.
In 1955, the figure was adjusted by an Indian survey team to 8,848 meters, and later to 8,850 meters according to a US team in 1999. And in 2005, a Chinese team calculated a height of 8,844 meters, but that result wasn’t widely accepted either.
On May 6, a 30-member Chinese survey team set out to reach the peak of Qomolangma, equipped with the latest technology – including a Global Navigation Satellite System receiver and a radar to measure the mountain’s snow cap – and is determined to settle the dispute.
But measuring Qomolangma is no easy task. The average air temperature there is -29 C – four degrees lower than in Antarctica – and hurricane-like winds blow all the time.
According to Li Guopeng, leader of the No 1 Geodetic Survey Team of China’s Ministry of Natural Resources, despite advanced technologies we now have—the likes of robots and drones—there is no guarantee that they can operate smoothly under extreme conditions, which is why sending human experts to the peak is still necessary to ensure a precise reading.
But does the difference of a few meters really matter when it comes to a gigantic mountain
The truth is that measuring the height of Qomolangma is much more than just getting that one particular number. Located at the point where the Eurasian plate meets the Indian plate, Mount Qomolangma emerged from an ocean 38 million years ago as a result of the two plates colliding, which makes it the perfect window for observing crustal movements. Changes to the peak’s height can indicate whether the two plates are heading toward or away from each other.
The survey team will also get firsthand information about the condition of the snow and other natural materials at the top, which could be an indicator of climate change on the Tibet-Qinghai Plateau.
It might be true that settling a dispute was the initial driving force for continued exploration, but the good thing is that we always end up discovering so much more.

Geology rocks!
It’s not easy keeping track of Sam Mukasa, a University of Michigan geologist.
Sam could be anywhere in the world looking at rocks or poking around volcanoes! He has been on expedition to Antarctica nine times. We caught Sam’s recent lecture at the University of Michigan’s Exhibit Museum of Natural History in the US.
Born in Kenya, Africa, of Ugandan parents, Sam told us his own fascinating story.
“How did someone born at the equator end up working in Antarctica ” he said, chuckling. “When I was about 8, a very adventurous uncle took me up a very small mountain and I was hooked for life. Some seven years later, I found myself on top of Mt. Kilimanjaro and some eight years later, I found myself doing work on a doctorate in the Andes.”
But Peru became dangerous because of political reasons. So Sam left and made his way first to Chile, then to Tierra del Fuego at the tip of Argentina.
“Then I worked my way to South Georgia Island, and by this time I could actually start smelling Antarctica. So it was only a matter of time before I started working in Antarctica.”
Sam’s knowledge of Antarctica is immense. His lecture was packed with surprises. How many people know that 146 freshwater lakes lurk beneath the frozen continent Or that one, Lake Vostok, is about the same length as Lake Ontario
“If it were at the surface, it would be recognized as the seventh largest lake in the world,” said Sam.
And get this: A volcano also lurks beneath Antarctica!
“We didn’t even know about it until a couple of years ago,” said Sam. “It erupted 2,000 years ago, spreading ash over a very large area. In the future, there could be another eruption that could have a devastating effect on the ice.”
Antarctica was only part of Sam’s studies. We will follow Sam’s work on other fields in the future. Stay tuned for more interesting stories.
6．Sam has explored Antarctica ________ times.
A．seven B．eight C．nine D．ten
7．Sam was born in ________.
A．Britain B．Africa C．Antarctica D．Argentina
8．Sam climbed a mountain with his uncle at the age of ________.

Exploding mountains
Boom! You hear a distant explosion. Then suddenly, the air is filled with thick smoke and dust. In the distance, you can see red-hot lava flowing down the side of a hill. What is going on
You just saw a volcanic eruption. That’s when a volcano, which is basically a hole in Earth’s surface, sends out hot ash, gas, and rocks into the air.
These eruptions can be quite dangerous. They can destroy houses and burn or choke people to death. A volcano in New Zealand called White Island recently erupted, killing 16 people and injuring many others.
How do volcanoes form As you may know, Earth’s surface is actually broken up into 17 parts, which are called tectonic plates. These plates move around sometimes. When they separate from or crash into each other, they usually form valleys or mountains. But sometimes, a volcano forms instead.
Volcanoes can be either dormant or active. If a volcano is dormant, it is “asleep”. There is little to no risk that it will erupt. But if it’s active, it is “awake”. It could erupt at almost any time!
White Island is an active volcano. It is located along the “Ring of Fire”, which refers to the chain of volcanoes that circles the Pacific Ocean.
The outside of the volcano has many cracks in it that allow water to get inside. Once water goes in, it is heated by the super-hot lava inside and turns into steam. But then, the steam becomes trapped. It has nowhere to go. This causes the volcano to violently erupt, sending out clouds of superheated steam, hot ash and rocks. Many eruptions occur in this way.
11．The air is filled with________ after a volcanic eruption.
A．small stones and dust B．thick smoke and dust
C．thick smoke and water D．dust and water
12．The eruption of White Island killed________ people.
A．16 B．17 C．18 D．19
13．Earth’s surface is broken up into________ parts.
A．7 B．8 C．16 D．17
14．________ could erupt at almost any time.
A．The Island B．The Dormant volcano
C．The Active volcano D．The Mountain
15．Water will become _______ after it gets in the volcano.
A．steam B．rocks C．ice D．lava

（23-24八年级上·安徽芜湖·期末）Swifts (雨燕) live mostly in the air. These small birds are among the fastest animals on Earth. In fact, swifts can go two or three days without touching the ground! To get used to life in the sky, swifts use their speed and the saliva (唾液) in their mouths.
Swifts can fly faster than 100 miles per hour. That’s because their wings are like boomerangs (回力镖). This shape of the wings helps them to fly much faster. They can also move one wing faster than the other, which allows them to make sharp turns without slowing down. Making fast, sharp turns helps swifts catch flying bugs to eat.
The saliva helps swifts catch bugs to feed their young. It is sticky, like glue. Swifts often fly into clouds of bugs such as mosquitoes and open their wide mouths to catch as many insects as they can. The bird collects as many insects as they can. The bird collects insects in its mouth gradually (逐渐地) and holds the insects in a sticky ball of saliva. One food ball can contain nearly 1,000 bugs.
Swifts also use their saliva as glue to build their nests. The birds catch feathers in the air and stick the feathers together to build a strong nest. Swifts’ short feet are not good for walking or standing on land for long. But their sharp claws allow them to stick to rocks and walls so they can take a short rest before returning to their lives in the sky.
25．The second paragraph mainly talks about ________.
A．how fast swifts can fly B．how swifts turn around in the sky
C．why swifts make sharp turns D．why swifts can fly and turn so fast
26．What does the underlined word “It” refer to in Paragraph 3
A．The saliva. B．The air. C．The shape. D．The speed.
27．Which of the following is True about swifts
A．They don’t usually live on land because of wings.
B．They can fly for a long time because of their small bodies.
C．They can’t walk for a long time because of their short feet.
D．They can catch nearly 1,000 bugs in one go with the saliva.
28．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage
A．B． C． D．

（23-24八年级上·广西来宾·期末）There are about 5, 000 different kinds of ladybugs (瓢虫) in the world. They come in many different colors. Their bright colors warn other animals or insects not to eat them. Ladybugs taste bad. A bird or a frog that eats a ladybug will remember the bright colors and it will not eat another ladybug with the same colors again. When ladybugs are in danger, they will give out a fluid (液体) that tastes terrible.
In many cultures, the ladybug is considered to be a symbol of good luck. Most ladybugs are kind to humans. They eat other insects which destroy crops. One ladybug can eat up to 5, 000 insects in its lifetime.
Ladybugs have six short legs. They live in many different places, including green lands, forests, cities, the countryside and along rivers. Different ladybugs have different spots (点) . Some of them don’t have spots at all. The most common kind in North America is the 7-spotted ladybug. The 7-spotted ladybugs are the most active from spring to autumn. When the weather turns cold, they look for a warm place to sleep, such as under stones or in houses.
29．Ladybugs can give out a terrible fluid to protect themselves.
30．In many cultures, ladybugs are believed to bring good luck.

（23-24八年级上·安徽芜湖·期末）Swifts (雨燕) live mostly in the air. These small birds are among the fastest animals on Earth. In fact, swifts can go two or three days without touching the ground! To get used to life in the sky, swifts use their speed and the saliva (唾液) in their mouths.
Swifts can fly faster than 100 miles per hour. That’s because their wings are like boomerangs (回力镖). This shape of the wings helps them to fly much faster. They can also move one wing faster than the other, which allows them to make sharp turns without slowing down. Making fast, sharp turns helps swifts catch flying bugs to eat.
The saliva helps swifts catch bugs to feed their young. It is sticky, like glue. Swifts often fly into clouds of bugs such as mosquitoes and open their wide mouths to catch as many insects as they can. The bird collects as many insects as they can. The bird collects insects in its mouth gradually (逐渐地) and holds the insects in a sticky ball of saliva. One food ball can contain nearly 1,000 bugs.
Swifts also use their saliva as glue to build their nests. The birds catch feathers in the air and stick the feathers together to build a strong nest. Swifts’ short feet are not good for walking or standing on land for long. But their sharp claws allow them to stick to rocks and walls so they can take a short rest before returning to their lives in the sky.
25．The second paragraph mainly talks about ________.
A．how fast swifts can fly B．how swifts turn around in the sky
C．why swifts make sharp turns D．why swifts can fly and turn so fast
26．What does the underlined word “It” refer to in Paragraph 3
A．The saliva. B．The air. C．The shape. D．The speed.
27．Which of the following is True about swifts
A．They don’t usually live on land because of wings.
B．They can fly for a long time because of their small bodies.
C．They can’t walk for a long time because of their short feet.
D．They can catch nearly 1,000 bugs in one go with the saliva.
28．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage
A．B． C． D．
【答案】25．D 26．A 27．C 28．C
【导语】本文介绍雨燕主要生活在空中，及其能长时间生活在空中的原因。
25．段落大意题。根据“Swifts can fly faster than 100 miles per hour. That’s because their wings are like boomerangs (回力镖). This shape of the wings helps them to fly much faster. They can also move one wing faster than the other, which allows them to make sharp turns without slowing down.”可知，雨燕的飞行速度可超过每小时100英里。那是因为它们的翅膀就像回旋镖。这种翅膀的形状可以帮助它们飞得更快。它们还可以移动一只翅膀比另一只更快，这使得它们可以在不减速的情况下进行急转弯。所以第二段讲述了为什么雨燕能飞得这么快，转弯也这么快。故选D。
26．词义猜测题。根据“The saliva helps swifts catch bugs to feed their young. It is sticky, like glue”可知，唾液可以帮助雨燕捕捉虫子来喂养它们的后代。它很粘，像胶水一样。所以It指的是“唾液”。故选A。
27．细节理解题。根据“Swifts’ short feet are not good for walking or standing on land for long”可知，因为脚短，它们很长时间不能走路。故选C。
28．篇章结构题。文章第一段概述雨燕生活在空中，第二段具体介绍它飞得快和能够急转的原因，第三、四段介绍它的唾液的作用。故正确的结构应该是C。故选C。

（23-24八年级上·广西来宾·期末）There are about 5, 000 different kinds of ladybugs (瓢虫) in the world. They come in many different colors. Their bright colors warn other animals or insects not to eat them. Ladybugs taste bad. A bird or a frog that eats a ladybug will remember the bright colors and it will not eat another ladybug with the same colors again. When ladybugs are in danger, they will give out a fluid (液体) that tastes terrible.
In many cultures, the ladybug is considered to be a symbol of good luck. Most ladybugs are kind to humans. They eat other insects which destroy crops. One ladybug can eat up to 5, 000 insects in its lifetime.
Ladybugs have six short legs. They live in many different places, including green lands, forests, cities, the countryside and along rivers. Different ladybugs have different spots (点) . Some of them don’t have spots at all. The most common kind in North America is the 7-spotted ladybug. The 7-spotted ladybugs are the most active from spring to autumn. When the weather turns cold, they look for a warm place to sleep, such as under stones or in houses.
29．Ladybugs can give out a terrible fluid to protect themselves.
30．In many cultures, ladybugs are believed to bring good luck.
31．Most of the ladybugs are harmful (有害的) to crops.
32．Ladybugs live in many places except cities.
33．Winter is the best time for 7-spotted ladybugs to go out for food.

【导语】本文讲述了世界上大约有五千种不同的瓢虫，详细地介绍了一些瓢虫的特点和习惯等。
29．细节理解题。根据文中“When ladybugs are in danger, they will give out a fluid (液体) that tastes terrible.”可知，瓢虫会释放出味道难闻的液体来保护自己，故填T。
30．细节理解题。根据文中“In many cultures, the ladybug is considered to be a symbol of good luck.”可知，在许多文化中，瓢虫被认为是好运的象征，故填T。
31．细节理解题。根据文中“Most ladybugs are kind to humans. They eat other insects which destroy crops.”可知，大多数瓢虫对人类都很友善，它们吃其他破坏农作物的昆虫，所以“大多数瓢虫对农作物有害。”表述错误，故填F。
32．细节理解题。根据文中“They live in many different places, including green lands, forests, cities, the countryside and along rivers.”可知，它们生活在许多不同的地方，包括绿地、森林、城市、乡村和河边，所以“瓢虫生活在除城市以外的许多地方”表述错误，故填F。
33．细节理解题。根据文中“The 7-spotted ladybugs are the most active from spring to autumn. When the weather turns cold, they look for a warm place to sleep, such as under stones or in houses.”可知，七星瓢虫在春季至秋季最为活跃，当天气变冷时，它们会找一个温暖的地方睡觉，比如在石头下面或房子里，所以“冬天是七星瓢虫外出觅食的最佳季节。”表述错误，故填F。

（23-24八年级上·山东济南·期末）When a baby elephant is born, it stands quickly on its feet. It drinks milk from its mother for a few years. The mother elephant is very important to a baby elephant. 34
Elephants travel a lot. Sometimes they have to cross rivers. The water might run too quickly and wash a baby elephant down a river. Or it can fall into a hole. When a baby elephant loses its mother, it becomes an orphan. Sometimes a baby elephant becomes an orphan because its mother is killed.
In the wild (野外), a baby elephant can’t live without its mother. Some people, called keepers, look after the orphan elephants in a park. 35 Then, the keepers send the elephants back to the wild.
In the wild, a baby elephant will stay under its mother to keep cool from the sun. 36 The keepers need to teach a baby elephant how to feed. To make it more relaxed, they always try many ways.
37 Some people killed Dika’s family, and he ran away. The keepers took Dika to the park. The keeper looked after him very well, but he cried for his mother. It was a long time before Dika was happy again. Dika was ten years old before he could live in the wild again. Many years later, he came back to the park. He had some wire (电线) around his leg. 38 Orphan elephants will never forget their keepers and if they meet trouble, they always think of the people who looked after them.

【答案】范文
I am Andy, a Grade 8 student from Sunshine Middle School. I love wild animals, and my favourite wild animal is the tiger. Tigers are big and strong. They have orange fur with dark stripes. They can run very fast. Besides, they are able to swim and climb.
Sadly, there are not many tigers left in the wild now. They are in danger because hunters catch them for their fur, bones or other parts of the body. Also, some people want to make the forests smaller and smaller in order to have more space for farms and buildings. This will lead to less and less space for them.
So it’s time for us to take action to protect tigers. We’d better prevent the hunters from hunting them. What’s more, I think we can build more reserves for them.
Animals are our friends. It’s our duty to help them live a happy life in the wild.

【答案】例文：
Animals are our best friends, they are also an important part of nature, we can’t live without them. However, most of them are in danger, such as the pandas. The situation is becoming more and more difficult.
It’s hard to believe that there are only about 1600 pandas left in the wild and about 340 pandas in zoos and research centers. Why is the situation becoming so serious On the one hand, pandas don’t have many babies and baby pandas often die. On the other hand, pandas eat bamboo, but the bamboo forests are getting smaller and smaller in these years. So it’s time for us to take actions to protect them. Why not plant more bamboo to make sure they have enough food What’s more, it’s also a good idea for us to give money to set enough natural parks to protect them in peace. Last but not least, don’t pollute the water and leaving them more forests can also help them a lot.
All in all, I believe that if everyone starts to do something to protect the animals, we all will live happier.

Saving Golden Monkeys
How much do you know about golden monkeys Let’s learn more about them.
Living in the southwest of China, like Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan, golden monkeys are seen in high mountains and thick forests. They feed on tree leaves, flowers and fruit. They also eat birds and their eggs. They live with their family. They take care of each other. They always go out and look for food together. They play together and even have a rest together. In China, they are one of the most famous and rarest animals like pandas. But they are in great danger now and they are becoming fewer in number.
How can we protect them First, we should protect the forests because they’re their home. Second, we must stop killing them and not buy anything made of their fur. What’s more, we should learn more about the animals and let more people know how important they are to us.

Dear sir and madam,
Recently, there are often reports in the newspaper that people got hurt by the animals in the zoo. Animals are lovely, but sometimes they can be a bit dangerous. So, when you’re watching animals, make sure to keep off them and avoid teasing them. Giving them the wrong food can make them sick or even cause their death. Some foods are not suitable for animals. The zoo will set up feeding areas and provide food for tourists to feed. If you are bitten by animals, please ask for help and go to see the doctor immediately. I think people should learn to respect and care for animals when visiting the zoo.

But their situation is becoming very difficult. They are in danger. First, pandas don’t have many babies and baby pandas often die. Second, pandas eat bamboo, but the bamboo forests are getting smaller. To protect animals is to protect ourselves. So we should make a better life for pandas. We can set up nature parks with lots of bamboo so that pandas can have enough food to eat. It is also a good idea to raise money for them. I hope there will be more pandas in the world.

I like tigers best among all the wild animals. They have yellow fur with black strips. Tigers like living in groups. They are very brave. They can run fast, but only for a short while. They can also swim and climb trees. Tigers eat small animals for food, like rabbits, deer, wolves and so on. However, these big cats are in great danger now.

Creating a bird-friendly garden or balcony
Good afternoon, everybody!
I’m very glad to share my topic with you. I’m Li Lin from Class 1, Grade 8. Today I’d like to talk about creating a bird-friendly garden or a balcony.
Birds play an important role in nature. They bring nature to life and I love nature. Some people keep birds as pets, which prevents them from flying freely. The number of birds has also decreased dramatically over the years. So let’s create a bird-friendly garden or balcony.
First, find a right place on the balcony and make a house for the birds. Second, use feeders to provide birds with the food they like. When they are hungry, they will come to your balcony. Third, cover the balcony with their favorite plants. Fourth, put some water on the balcony. If they are thirsty, they may come to drink. In a word, if you want to create a bird-friendly balcony, try to offer the birds something they’re looking for, then they’ll be much more likely to come to visit. In this way, the living environment of birds can be greatly improved.
That’s all. Thank you!

Protecting Tigers
Good morning, everyone! Today I am very happy to be here to give a report on protecting tigers. Tigers are the kings of the animal world. They are big and strong. They have very bright eyes. They have orange fur with dark strips. They can run very fast, but only for a short while. They are able to swim and climb. Tigers like to live alone. They live on animals like deer, sheep.
Sadly, there are not many tigers left in the wild now. They are in danger because hunters catch tigers for their fur, bones or other parts of the body. Also, some people want to make the forests smaller and smaller in order to have more space for farms and buildings. This will lead to less and less space for tigers.
Moreover, So we should take action to protect tigers. If we do nothing, soon there will be none left. We should encourage the government to make laws to provide cover and food for them. What’s more, We should also prevent the hungers from hunting them. Last but not least, we should build more reserves to protect the forests so that tigers can have enough living space. Wild animals are our friends. It’s our duty to help them live a happy life in the wild.
That’s all. Thank you very much!

Hello, everyone! I’d like to tell you something about the show “Working the Waste into Magic”.
A number of creative works were on show, including clothes made from waste paper and model planes made of used wood and glass. Another fascinating work is a chair that is made of plastic bottles. They are glued together and painted in different colors.
I was most interested in a backpack for computers. It is made out of a pair of old jeans! With the zipper of jeans on the top, two pockets on two sides, the backpack looks both useful and fashionable. It even has a logo!

【答案】例文：
How to Make Our Hometown More Beautiful
The clean water and green mountains are our treasures. It’s our dream to have a home with a blue sky, green trees and clean water. So it’s very important for us to realize the importance of protecting the environment and dealing with pollution. But what should we do
We can take actions in our daily life. We can plant more trees to keep the soil in place. Resources are very important, so we need to save resources to avoid polluting the environment. For example, we can use both sides of the paper. Polluted water should be dealt with in time to keep the river clean because we cannot live without water. When we go to other places, we can choose public transport to reduce air pollution.
In my opinion, everyone can do something small to make a difference. When we see rubbish on the road, we should pick it up immediately. We should also learn to recycle waste by separating the waste into different groups. If all of us work together, we will have a more beautiful home.
