上海市西南模范中学2023-2024学年八年级上学期第一次段考英语试卷
Daniel Olin was 11 years old when his parents moved to Canada. He liked his new school and made friends there,but then things at home started to change. His mum and dad began to argue and the arguments got worse and worse until one day,Daniel's mum left. With his father working long hours,to run away. And that's what he did.
Very early one terribly cold morning when the snow was deep on the ground,he packed a bag with some clothes,some chocolate and a map of Canada and set off to a forest. He ran and ran until he could hardly breathe. His feet were heavy with the snow but he still walked on through deep snow, not even watching where he was going.
Then,disaster struck. A rock hidden by the deep snow caught his feet and Daniel fell to the ground. He had broken the bone. He was very cold and was starting to feel tired,but he knew that if he fell asleep in the snow, he would certainly die from the cold.
A tree shook ahead. From within the branches(树枝),a pair of yellow eyes watched Daniel. The puma had been following him. A puma is a large wild cat with claws that could tear(撕开) Daniel into pieces. But instead of moving in for the kill,arms and legs. Daniel was too frightened to move,but soon the warmth of the animal reached Daniel and he began to feel better. From time to time(口鼻) against Daniel and rocked his head gently. Clearly,the puma knew that Daniel must not fall asleep. This animal should have been a real danger to Daniel and yet the boy began to feel safe.
They remained like that for several hours until Daniel and the puma heard voices. The rescue (援救) team had found them.

THIS IS HOW READING HAS CHANGED
CAVE(洞穴) PAINTINGS Cave paintings are the oldest pictures. Some of them,like the beautiful pictures in the caves in the north of Spain,are almost 30,we get an idea of how the people felt when drawing them. That's what the painters wanted to show others—hopes and fears. |
STONES AND PAPYRUS(纸莎草) Sometime between 4000 and 3000 BCE(公元前),people in Egypt developed the skill of writing. They put writing on stones first. But it was impossible to carry the stones from place to place. The invention of papyrus made it. It was easier to correct mistakes,too. |
PAPER AND PRINTING Paper was invented in China in 105 CE(公元年). The world's oldest known printed book is from China,too. It was published around 700 hundred years later. In Europe,when Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in Germany. Since that time,almost 140 million books have been published. |
OTHER WAYS OF READING Books will be around for many years,of course. But there are many new ways of reading books,such as e-books and apps on mobile phones. |
