一、There are many wetlands（濕地） in China and some of them have become the world『s important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng， Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals. The world』 largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve（自然保護區） is in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world， but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Cranes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.
The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine， too. They are really good places for wildlife（野生生物）。 Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.
Luckily， more and more people are beginning to realize the important of wetlands and wildlife. Every year， on February 2nd， many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.

2. 選B.由第2段的句子The temperature in the wetland is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine， too.可知，濕地的氣溫不高也不低，雨量充沛，陽光充足，這樣的天氣不是很pleasant嗎？

4. 選D.短文的第1段講述了They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals.（濕地是許多野生動物的家園）；第2段又講述了濕地Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals 以及Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood.所以答案為D.
5. 選B.根據第4題我們就可知道本文列舉了濕地的重要性，所以B選項最佳。
二、Do you know how to play a game called 「Musical Chairs」？ It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs， some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument， if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.
Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos， back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.
The game is easy. When the music starts， the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction， of course， they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow， they should walk slowly.
The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops， the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on， he drops out. Then， before the music starts again， one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again， one more player will be out.
At last， there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.

「答案與解析」
1. 選A.因為在第4段有這樣一句If a person cannot find a chair to sit on， he drops out.那麼肯定是椅子比人數少1，這樣才會有人沒得坐，故選A.
2. 選D.在第1段中提到了A、B、C三種可以播放音樂的器具，而D項沒有，因為一般來說電話是不能播放音樂的，所以選D.

三、Several years ago， a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker， another owned one of the largest companies in the world， and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.
The reporter was talking to them about being important.
「How do we know if someone is really important？」 the reporter asked the banker.
The banker thought for a few moments and then said， 「I think anybody who is invited to the Whiter House to meet the President of the United States is really important.」
The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. 「Do you agree with that？」 she asked.
The man shook his head， 「No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You『d only be important if while you were visiting the President， there was a telephone call from the president of another country， and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it.」
The reporter turned to the third man. 「Do you think so？」
「No， I don『t，」 he said. 「I don』t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.」
「Then what would make the visitor important？」 the reporter and the other two men asked.
「Oh， I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang， and the President picked up the receiver， listened and then said， 『It』s for you.『 」

4. 選D.從第6段這位男士的回答我們很容易得出答案是D.

Ⅵ 如何上好八年級英語的閱讀課
一、在教學過程中首先向學生強調閱讀課的重要性,使學生在心目中重視閱讀課
學生的英語閱讀效果常常取決於學生的主觀能動性的發揮水平。有的時候,學生的耐心是很重要的,大部分學生一看到閱讀文章,覺得好長,在心理上產生一種卷怠的情緒,沒了耐性讀下去,最後導致閱讀效果不佳。如果學生對教師的閱讀材料背景介紹產生興趣,或充分認識到閱讀的重要意義,或受教師和同學的閱讀情緒的影響等等,都能使他們提高閱讀興趣,閱讀興趣濃厚,對閱讀材料的內容、形式等充滿好奇心,有急於獲得閱讀材料所提供的信息的強烈慾望。所以我在閱讀教學導入過程中盡量激發學生的閱讀興趣,盡量讓學生把他們的主觀能動性發揮出來。
二、授課之前,讓學生預習並要求學生主動到閱覽室或者網上查尋相關的資料
鼓勵學生預測所要閱讀的內容,明確閱讀任務,講解必要詞彙。
例如教Unit 1中的Do you think you will have your own robot?時,我請學生從網路上找相關的圖片或者動畫片,並提問學生問題,
What can you see in the videos and pictures?
What do these robots look like?
What can they do?
這樣不僅自然地引出這課所要掌握的重要的詞彙,並且把文章中一些學生還未了解的機器人的知識先通過圖片讓學生有初步的印象,有效地激發學生的知識背景。
教Unit 3中的Do you remember what you were doing?時,我讓學生分四個小組分頭尋找資料,向同學講述劉翔和楊利偉的個人情況;馬丁路德金的事跡;美國的911事件和人類第一次探月活動。又例如教這冊Unit 4中的閱讀文章she said helping others changed her life時,我讓每位學生查閱有關徐本禹的情況,並且每人轉述你認為他說的最感動你的話。根據學生的情況和需要開展思路,設計有意義的,適合交際的活動,為後面的閱讀做好適當的鋪墊,收到事半功倍的效果。在學生閱讀文章時,應根據文章內容設計任務,注重學生閱讀策略的培養,提高他們獨立閱讀文章的能力。
1.根據文章的內容,准確把握詞義
學生在閱讀的過程中每當遇到生詞的時候,總是為之頭疼,一下子就覺得這個文章難,甚至於放棄整篇文章的閱讀。有的成績好點的同學就開始翻閱字典,了解單詞的確切意義,其實如果通篇理解全文,往往不必了解每個單詞的確切含義。
例如教Unit 2中的Maybe you should learn to relax!時,文中有這么一句:Pushy parents are nothing new, but now parents seem to push their children a lot more.pushy這個單詞在文中的意思不是很容易理解,但是當把整個文章閱讀完就會了解到英美國的學生沒有什麼自己的時間可以放鬆,那麼就可以理解這個詞的意思。沒有必要去查閱字典了,所以學生應該學會在閱讀的時候放棄一些詞,等到文章的意思概括後在去理解它,或許理解的更到位。
2.每個段落都有其中心意思,理解重點句子,提高閱讀速度
每個段落都有一個句子表達這個段落的主題思想,這個句子叫主題句,其他句子則圍繞主題句進行說明或闡述。
3.猜測文章的內容,一個文章的題目就是題眼,題目往往更引發學生的閱讀興趣
現實生活中我們看書,閱讀文章並不是被動地接受知識和獲取信息,而是帶著問題進行閱讀。教師在教學中應有意識地培養學生對所讀文章進行猜測的能力,如通過文章的標題猜測文章內容,根據首句猜測段落,根據開頭猜測結尾等。
三、閱讀後給學生寫作任務,讓學生進行自我鞏固
讀後的活動可以要求學生書面表達閱讀體會,或就某一話題聯系實際進行小組討論,在這個用英語的過程中學生發展了英語思維的能力和文章的謀篇布局能力,這些能力不但有利於提高閱讀速度,培養良好的閱讀習慣,也有利於學生抓住文章要領,了解文章組織結構的能力及對篇章的推理能力,鞏固了知識點。在讀後的活動中特別強調寫,或改寫,或復述。
Ⅶ 初二英語閱讀理解練習有什麼技巧
初中的閱讀一般都只要理解句子的字面意思就可以，一般不像高中，你得看懂言外之意，所以呢，背好單詞，多讀課文就行了。如果能背過課文，那就考試基本無敵了。我的經驗之談。
Ⅷ 做初二英語閱讀的技巧
1.外籍教師說：每天聽半小時英語，培養語感（注意，是無意識地聽），我回們小時候也是這樣才學答會說話的。你可以在休閑中播，但只可以是半小時！ 2.抄得多自然熟，知識點抄抄抄。 3.設立錯題本（非常有效），把錯的答案，為什麼錯，列出來 .4.要對英語充滿興趣，細細體味英語中的詞語表達精妙之處。5.我跟你說！你每天要看以兩段文字，如果沒有時間，那就考試前一個星期每天看兩篇！這樣可以保持考試的閱讀速度！ 6.抄的單詞本你們要復習啊！ 7.找一個外國歌手做你的偶像，把他（她）的歌聽完全 .8.多看中英對照文章，這樣對你的翻譯語感非常有幫助

When he looked around, he saw some old people put glasses on before reading their newspapers. So after lunch he decided to go to a shop to buy himself one pair, too.

We know mosquitoes very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They can be found almost all over the world, and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them.
No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide if she loves you. She? Yes, she. The male mosquito doesn』t bite! Only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay eggs. She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn』t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosquito bites you, just remember you are chosen. You』re different from the others!
If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch(癢) on your body because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood. When the itch begins, she has flown away.
And then what happens? Well, after her delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She wants to find a place to have a good rest. There, in a tree or on a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs.

Do you know why different animals or pests(昆蟲) have their special colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts(蝗蟲), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops(莊稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest (收獲)time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you』ll find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colours much like the trees.
Have you ever found an even more strange act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid(液體) when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over(散開), its enemies(敵人) cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.
