陕西省西安市2019-2020学年八年级上学期英语期末质量检测试卷(含听力音频)
In the spring of 2019, I went to watch the movie The Wandering Earth《流浪地球》. It is very exciting.
In the movie, the Earth is about to hit Jupiter (木星). Everybody lost hope in saving the earth, but a boy called Liu Qi. He thought up a wonderful idea at the last minute. However, there isn't enough help. There is not much time left for people to get together with their families again. Liu's sister then teaches people a lesson about what hope is. The lesson touches people's hearts and changes their minds, they are all ready to save the earth at last.
The love in Liu's family is really touching. I cried when Liu's grandfather died. All he cares about is his grandchildren's safety. Although Liu seems to dislike his father. When his father decides to help him out, Liu shouts and tries hard to stop his father. His father loves his son so deep. Their talk before their last goodbye made me cry again.
At last, people save the earth successfully. I believe Liu's family will love each other more. Where there's life, there's hope. As long as we join hands with each other. We can make anything come true. It is an important lesson I learned from the film.
Long ago, people didn't need a lot of numbers, but when small villages grew into big cities, people started to need bigger numbers to count bags of crops and make trades. How did people in ancient time count numbers?
Paclfic Islands Some Pacific Island cultures count using the whole body. Different body parts stood for a different number, and the name of that part also means that number. | Rome Greek, Roman, and Hebrew mathematicians used letters for their numbers, The Romans, for example, used I for 1, V for 5, X for 10, L for 50, C for 100, and M for 1,000. To write 49, it took nine letters: XXXXVIIII. | Peru In South America, the Inca came up with a different way to note down numbers — by making knots on ropes. Different kinds of knots stood for different numbers, while the color of the rope may have showed what was being counted. | |
Maya Math The Maya of Central America (200-900 CE) were great mathematicians. They counted in groups of 20. They wrote their numbers from bottom to top, with the bottom row standing for one time (1s), the next row up for 20 times (20s), then 400 times (400s), and so on. They used bean-shaped dots● for 1, twig-shaped lines for 5, and they even had a shell shaped symbol for 0! |
