The game became less violent (激烈的), less dangerous and easier to control（控制). It became a game for young gentlemen.Each public school divided its pupils into clubs or houses. The houses played football matches against each other, with each house wearing a particular(特定的) colour.The first football clubs were organized(组织) in the same way as the house teams. Later the house competitions were used as a model(模型，模范) for the FA Cup(the Football Association Challenge Cup(英格兰足球杯).Many of the boys at the public schools went on to the two English universities, Oxford and Cambridge.

With its help, plastics can be turned into smaller parts and go away quickly. Scientists believe that, in the future, it could solve the problem of plastic pollution.The enzyme is able to break down PET, a form of plastic. PET was first made in the 1940s and is now widely used to make plastic bottles. It can remain in the environment for many years and pollute large areas of land and water. So it has always been a headache to deal with the waste from PET and other plastics.The researchers made the discovery (发现) while examining the structure of a natural enzyme in Japan. They found that the natural enzyme was helping to break down PET plastics. So, they decided to make small changes to the enzyme by adding some amino acids (氨基酸). It made the natural enzymes plastic-eating abilities work faster and better.John McGeehan, one of the lead researchers, said, “Weve made an improved enzyme. Its better than the natural one. And we are trying to make more improvements to it.” He went on, “The enzyme is not harmful to humans or animals, and it is friendly to the environment. So we are considering putting it into wider use.”The team is now trying to make the enzyme break down PET in large quantities (大量地). “Well see that the plastic pollution may be stopped with this technology. However, there is still a long way to go,” John McGeehan added. （1）According to the scientists, the enzyme may solve the problem of _ pollution. A . airB . waterC . lightD . plastic（2）The underlined phrase “break down” in the passage probably means “_” in Chinese. A . 实验B . 生产C . 发明D . 分解（3）Researchers discovered that a natural enzyme helped eat plastics _. A . in BritainB . in the USC . in JapanD . in China（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A . The scientists are still trying to improve the enzyme.B . The enzyme will pollute large areas of land and water.C . The natural enzyme works better than the improved one.D . The natural enzyme is harmful to humans and animals.五、 阅读短文，回答问题 (共1题；共25分)7. （25分）任务型阅读You run among crowded people in a railway station, only to find that the train has left. Do you feel depressed(沮丧的)? Probably. But if you are in France, someone may play the piano for you. It might be a performance of Chopins Fantaisie-Impromptu or the Pirates of the Caribbean theme song. To our surprise, it is not performed by a paid musician or a street entertainer asking for coins. Instead, a passer-by jams (即兴演奏) on the piano in the station.The national railroad company SNCF has put pianos in nearly 100 stations across France. They are rented from Yamaha Corporation. The first piano was set up in the Gare Montparnasse in Paris in 2012.The pianos have proved to be very popular. In 2014, the SNCF and Yamaha organized a nationwide contest called Your Turn to Play. It asked participants to upload (上传) video clips of themselves using one of the pianos. At last, about 900 people took part in the contest.So if you miss a train in France one day, perhaps someone will be playing your favourite piece, and that will reduce your anxiety (焦虑) a bit. Or perhaps youll sit down, roll up your sleeves and play your sadness away yourself.（1）If you miss a train in France, who may play the piano for you? （2）When was the first piano set up in the Gare Montparnasse in Paris? （3）What was the name of the contest organized by the SNCF and Yamaha in 2014? （4）Why has the company SNCF put pianos in nearly 100 stations across France? （5）If possible, would you like to jam on the piano in such stations? Why or why not? 六、 书面表达 (共1题；共5分)8. （5分）在八年级即将结束之际，八（1）班将举行一次主题班会，要求同学们谈谈一年来自己的收获与变化。请为Simon准备一份100词左右的演讲稿，具体内容如下：过去现在业余生活大部分业余时间听音乐，看电视，上网玩游戏在老师的帮助下，意识到， 阅读，锻炼礼仪举止不文明，乱扔垃圾，在公共场所大声喧哗举止文明，力行环保，受到表扬（praise）爱心不关心他人，零用钱用来了解到贫困地区的孩子上不起学，把零用钱捐给希望工程展望未来自我发挥（至少两点）Hello, everyone.
