初三英语任务型阅读专项练习

Today it is found that most middle school students pay little attention to sports. It’s because they have no interest in sports? It may not be the fact.

They often say they have other more important things to do. What are these important things? Exams! They usually spend over ten hours a day revising for exams. So many of them almost become bookworms. In the summer holidays they could hardly do anything they like. Books ①____ them from going in for ①____. ②因为来自父母和老师的压力,他们不得不更加努力学习.

As for the students themselves, they want to get good results so that they can go further for their studies. ③They don’t have to put all their effort into studying and give up all the sports and hobbies. In fact, education cannot go without physical exercise, because a quick mind hardly goes along a week body.

All the students should remember: If you don’t have a strong body, you can never achieve anything, let alone a great success in your life.

All living things on the earth need other living things to live with. Nothing lives alone.

Sometimes one living thing kills another. Each kind of life eats another kind of life in order to live, and together they form a food chain(食物链). 1）有些食物链简单而其它的不尽然。But all food chains begin with the sun, and all food chains become broken if one of the links disappears.

All life needs sunlight to live on. But only plants can use sunlight directly. They make food from sunlight, water, air and so on. 2）Animals can only use the sun’s energy after it has been changed into food by plants. Some animals feed directly on plants. Others eat smaller animals. Meat-eating animals are only eating plants indirectly.

What about human beings? We are members of many food chains. We eat wheat, rice, vegetables, fruit and so on. We also eat meat and drink milk. But people often break up the food chains. They kill wild animals. They also make rivers, lakes and seas dirty. 3）When these rivers, lakes and seas are ________, the fish in them cannot be _______. If people eat the fish, they will get strange diseases.

Each form of life is linked to all the others. Breaking the links puts all life in danger.

Did you see snow in your hometown last winter? Did you feel it was warmer than before?

"(2)自1986年以来中国已有21个暖冬了," said scientists. They also said that in the past 100 years, as the global (全球的) temperatures went up by 0.74 °C , the temperature in North China has climbed 1.4 °C in only 50 years.

China needs to (1) to cut carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) emission (排放),

because it's the main reason for global warming. The good news is that China has seen the importance of going green. China set the goal of cutting energy use by 20 and pollution emission by 10 in the 11th Five-Year Plan.

Can you slow down global warming? Sure! (3)You and your family can take steps to cut the amount of carbon dioxide that is sent out into the air.

Here are some pieces of advice to help you save the earth.

▲ Wear used clothes. Wearing your brother's, sister's or dad's old T-shirt means you save the energy.

▲ Change your light bulbs (灯泡). Use energy-saving light bulbs. And don't forget to turn off the lights when you leave a room and turn off your television and computer when they are not in use!

▲ Ride the bus. Taking a bus saves a lot of oil every year.

▲ Say no to plastic bags. The next time your parents go to the market, ask them to use baskets

▲ Open a window. Don't use the air conditioner (空调), and let some fresh air in. When you have to use the conditioner, set the temperature higher in the summer and lower in the winter to save energy

Make small changes in your daily life. Don't use paper cups, bags and boxes.

American and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between British English and American English.

First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don’t say each word separately. They say several words together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don’t know.” Or they may say “Whaddya say?” instead of “What did you say?” However, the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.

(3)Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English. Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries.

Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you “phone them up”. In America, you “give them a call”. When you are saying goodbye in England you might say “Cheerio!” In America you might say “See you later.”

There’re also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. They say “Do you have a storybook?” But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say “Have you a storybook?”

All these differences can be confusing(易混淆的) if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. This is what has happened to English. It can also happen to other languages, such as French. Many people in Canada speak French. (4)但是他们的法语和法国的法语不一样。
