牛津版(深圳•广州)2017-2018学年初中英语八年级下册Module 1 Unit 2单元综合能力检测题(音频暂未更新)

阅读下列短文,从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

    Shaking the head doesn't always mean the same in different countries. Maybe some visitors would be surprised when they first come to India. When they talk to an Indian, they would find he would often shake his head. The visitors might think that the Indian doesn't like what they say. But in fact, they would be completely wrong. Indians always shake their heads when they talk to others. It doesn't mean "No". If someone wants to visit India, he should know this, or he will be in trouble.

    One day, a foreign officer went to India on business. He hired a car and asked an Indian to drive him. When he told his driver to take him to his office, the Indian shook his head at once. The officer said again and the driver shook his head again. At last the officer, of course, got angry.

    "How dare you refuse my order?" he shouted. "Drive me to my office at once!"

    The driver answered in quite a loud voice too, "Yes, sir!" But to the officer's surprise, the driver shook his head at the same time.

    The car started and the foreign officer was now too surprised to say a word. He thought about it for a while, and then he nodded with a smile, "'No' means 'Yes' here!"

(1)、What does shaking one's head mean all over the world?
A、It means "Yes". B、It means "No". C、It means "Glad". D、It means "Yes" or "No".
(2)、If an Indian _______, he agrees with what you said.
A、shakes his head B、nods his head C、speaks in a loud voice D、says it again and again
(3)、Why did the officer go to India?
A、He went there to visit his friend. B、He went there to buy a car. C、He went there to learn driving. D、He went there because of his job.
(4)、Why did the officer get angry?
A、Because the driver didn't understand him. B、Because the driver still shook his head after he said again. C、Because the driver didn't like the officer. D、Because the driver didn't answer in a loud voice.
举一反三
   It's not easy to be an astronaut's son. Everybody expects(期望) you to be special or perfect. I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me. I mean he's so special and so good at everything he does. Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football team. Well, to be honest, I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special-like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star. I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father's Day writing competition for the whole school "I hope we have a winner right here in my class."
   When I got home, I started to think about what to write. My father is an astronaut. No, I wouldn't start like that. That was the way others saw him. How did I see my father? Hmm. I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream. I remembered how he hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car. Yes, these were the things I was going to write. To me, he wasn't just a world-famous astronaut. He was my dad.
   My parents and l went to school Thursday night. There were so many people in the big hall! My dad looked at me, and I shrugged(耸肩).
   The third prize was announced(宣布) and it was not me. I was relieved(释然)and disappointed at the same time. The second prize was announced. It was me. I went up to the stage and read what I had written, "My father's son". When I finished,the people stood up and cheered. I saw my father blowing his nose. Tears were running down my mother's face. Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder. "Son, this is the proudest moment of my life.''
   It was the proudest moment of my life, too. Maybe I'll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but it was enough just to be my father's son.
