内蒙古包头市固阳县2019-2020学年八年级下学期英语期末考试试卷
The Flame Mountain(火焰山)is about 200 km away from Urumqi in Xinjiang. It is in a place with many high mountains around it. It is much hotter than nearby places. If you want to enjoy the feeling of a hot shower in summer, it's the right place to go!
On hot summer days, it can get hotter than 80℃. Try to cook eggs or cakes in the sand and they will be ready in a few minutes!
Does rain help make it cooler? People hardly see rain in 10 out of the 12 months in a year. Why? For most of the time, the raindrops dry in the hot air before they reach the ground.
The mountain came into being millions of years ago when the earth was changing a lot. We can't see any plants on the top of the mountain, only red rocks. They make the whole mountain look red. In hot air and strong sunshine, the mountain looks like a burning flame. That's where its name comes from.
Why should We Read Literature (文学作品) |
Maria: I enjoy reading literature because it increases my vocabulary. Literary novels rather than easy-to-read novels, help me learn new words and good sentences while showing me new thoughts and ideas. Frank: Literature is culture. Just as each painting tells a story, so does a novel. I always feel excited to know different cultures from many different writers. They come from different places, times and ages. Each of their great novels is beautiful and an important piece of culture. Lily: I think literature makes me more creative. Works of novels show everything in a new way. Our minds open up to think about how the main character of a story thinks, or the story develops. Novels influence how we think so that we may discover new ideas. William: Reading literature makes me a better man. When I read literature, I'll learn about the world, others and myself. I get new information from each work and learn what is good or bad. Reading literature develops my mind and tells me how to interact with the world. I can be a better person after reading good works. I love literature. |
