浙江省海盐县滨海中学2015-2016学年八年级下学期英语期中阶段性检测试卷
My grandfather Jack is 96 years old，and he has had an interesting life. He has travelled a lot in his life in the Far East. He visited the Taj Mahal in India and the Pyramids in Egypt. He hunted（狩猎） lions in Africa, and rode a camel in the Sahara Desert. He says the most beautiful place he has travelled to is Kathmandu in Nepal.
Jack has married twice. His first wife died when she was 32. He met his second wife Maria while he was cycling round France. They have been married for 50 years, and they have lived happily in a small village since they got married.
Jack says that he has never been ill in his life. The secret of good health, according to my grandfather, is exercise. He goes swimming every morning. He has done this since he was a boy. He also has a glass of wine every night! Perhaps that is his secret!
Time Will Tell Some students often ask,"Although I work hard, I still cannot get good {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(score) on tests. Why? How can I enjoy success?" The story of Chinese astronaut Deng Qingming might help to answer {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(they)questions. Deng was chosen as a backup (后备) astronaut {#blank#}3{#/blank#}1998. Since that day he had spent almost all of his time training hard to become {#blank#}4{#/blank#}astronaut. Over the years, Deng has seen his fellow trainees(实习生) go into space one after another. However, he {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(be) always a backup. He often felt upset. Sometimes, he even cried {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(sad). But Deng never gave up.{#blank#}7{#/blank#}he was in his fifties, he kept training hard."I must be ready whenever the opportunity (机会) comes to me,"he once said. Finally, on the night of November 29th, 2022, he and two other astronauts boarded the Shenzhou-15 aircraft and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(fly) into space. Deng had waited 24 years for this very moment. So, if you want to give up learning something, think about Deng's story. Be{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(patient) and try to improve your methods and keep going. One day, success {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(knock) at your door! But unlike Deng, you probably won't even have to wait 24 years for that moment! |
