沪教版2019-2020年八年级下学期英语期末考试试卷D卷姓名:_ 班级:_ 成绩:_ 一、 阅读理解(共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分) (共4题；共30分)1. （6分）阅读理解 Reading is the key to school success and, like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking. Educators call it automaticity (自动性). A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase. With automaticity, he doesnt have to think about the meaning of words, so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.It can begin as early as the first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount(数量)of time a child spends reading, not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home. You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable for your level. If you read aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic reader. If you read brokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more practice.（1）Reading is the key to school success means that reading_. A . helps school develop fasterB . is a key to a successful schoolC . helps students go to a key schoolD . can improve students learning results（2）Children with automaticity can read faster because they_.

A . 结结巴巴地读B . 全神贯注地读C . 心不在焉地读D . 声情并茂地读（4）The best title for the passage is _. A . IQ is the Key to the AutomaticityB . TV is Bad for Childrens ReadingC . Automaticity Depends on PracticeD . Automatic Readers Will Be Successful2. （8分）阅读理解 There were many plants in a forest. When spring came, a pine tree saw a red rose nearby and said, What a beautiful flower! I wish I were that lovely.

So, choosing a job is one of the most important decisions to make in life.For my job, there are three important things that I will consider:The first onethat I must work in an area I likeis most important to me. Someone once said if you find a job that you enjoy, then you wont have to work another day. I would like to work in an area where I can be more creative. I would like to be the most valuable member there. All this is possible only if I like what I do.The second one is that the area of my work must lead me to solve some new and hard problems. I would like to stay in the same area for a long time. In order for this to happen, the work must provide enough problems. More than just working to live, I enjoy making a difference and trying my best for the whole progress. I would also like to be well remunerated for my hard work, so I can lead a comfortable life with this hard won money. Then I can provide the best for my family.The third important thing is that I would like to work in an area that would help other people. The work in my mind is in fields such as the army, training or management. In such areas, I can help to develop the abilities of others and bring out their best. It would be a most satisfying job to help young people to become the best that they can be. When I become old, I would like to look back with a great sense of satisfaction that thousands of people have become better persons through my work.I accept the idea that no one should make a choice of a job suddenly or quickly. He should decide what he wants to be in the long run. Then, he should decide how he works towards it. He should study the proper courses, read the books and speak to knowledgeable persons in that field before making a job choice. A good choice will most probably lead to a better life.（1）According to the passage, a good job choice probably makes people_. A . solve fewer problemsB . choose a good lifeC . be good family membersD . provide hard things（2）The underlined word “remunerated” in the passage means “_”. A . trainedB . praisedC . acceptedD . paid（3）The writer wants to tell us that everyone should _. A . become a knowledgeable personB . join the army to become a better personC . make preparations to find a satisfying jobD . help young people to choose an interesting job（4）What is the best title for the passage? A . My Job ChoiceB . My Favorite JobC . My Comfortable LifeD . My Secret of Satisfaction4. （8分）阅读理解 Dear friends, I am writing this letter to draw your attention to the disasters（灾难）these days.

Besides, dont keep TVs or computers on when you are not using them. When you leave a room, turn off the lights. A small action is very helpful to our planet.
