江苏省大丰市实验初级中学2015-2016学年八年级下学期英语期末考试试卷

根据短文理解,选择正确答案。

    Nearly all our food comes from the soil. Some of us eat meat, of course, but animals live on plants. If there were no plants, we would have no animals and no meat. So the soil is very necessary for life. The top of the ground is usually covered with grass or other plants. There may be dead leaves and dead plants on the grass. The waste matter(粪) from animals also falls on it.

    All soil needs food. If we do not give it any, the plants will be weak. Farmers found that animals' waste is the best food for the soil, but chemical fertilizers(化肥) are also very useful. The same crop(庄稼)should not be grown in the same place every year; it 's better to have a different crop. A change of crop and the use of a good fertilizer will keep the land good.

(1)、Which of the following is true ?

A、All our food comes from the soil. B、Most of our food comes from the soil. C、None of our food comes from the soil. D、All our food comes from animals.
(2)、Which is the best food for soil in the field?

A、Chemical fertilizers. B、Plants and grass. C、Animals' waste. D、Different crops.
(3)、Why do we often grow a different crop in the same place every year?

A、Because we can keep the soil rich this way. B、Because we don't have enough land. C、Because we want to have a different food. D、Because we do this as a habit.
(4)、What is the best title for the passage?

A、Soil and Waste B、Plants and Animals C、Food and Waste D、Soil and Food

   Step 1 Write down the subject that you are interested in on a piece of paper. Just get the main idea down. For example, you might write:
Discover more about robots.
   Step 2 Stop and think for a moment about what you have already known about your subject. List what you have already known like the sentences below:
   1. The first robot appeared in the USA in 1959.
   2. A robot can do housework and act as a teacher.
   3. Sometimes a robot catches viruses and causes a lot of problems.

   1. What might robots be like in the future?
   2. What other things can robots do for people?
   3. What kind of power will robots possibly use in five years?
   Step 4 Armed with your list of questions, you can now go to the nearest library or computer to begin your research. As you learn more about your subject, you'll probably discover some new questions.
   For example, you might discover that robots can help scientists explore dangerous places, like the sea and outer space. How? What happened? Asking new questions can help you research your subject more widely.
   The next time you find something interesting to research, take time to organize your thinking by asking good questions. And remember that learning more always brings more questions.

    The monarch is one of the most beautiful butterflies. It is famous for its yearly migration(迁徙)from the northern part of North America to Mexico, There, millions of monarchs spend the winter together in one small area. This migration is one of the greatest wonders of nature. Yet this behavior has now put the monarch at risk.

    Every September, millions of monarchs from the United States fly to Mexico. After about two months of flying time, they reach their sanctuary(庇护所)in central Mexico. Then, in the warm climate of private and quiet valleys, far from most human activity, the butterflies create one of nature's great scenes. They cover every tree with bright color. The show lasts until spring, when the butterflies return north.

    While they are all crowded together, the monarchs are highly weak. If the environment in those valleys was disturbed, the whole species could be hurt or even die out. That is why for many years scientists who knew about the monarchs' winter sanctuary kept the location a secret.

    In recent years, however, the monarchs' secret has been discovered. Today, the butterflies' winter sanctuary is crowded with tourists, who disturb the environment. Worse still, local farmers who need more land to farm have begun to take up the area. They are cutting down trees, making it difficult for the butterflies to survive. They should not farm in the monarchs' sanctuary.

    People should act immediately to protect the species' winter sanctuary. Local farmers must be helped so that they no longer need to take land from the butterflies. Tourist visits to the butterflies' hidden valleys must also be limited. Unless these steps are taken soon, in a few years the monarch butterfly of North America may be just a beautiful memory.
