Day One

Song without sight

牛津译林版八年级英语上阅读理解专项强化训练含答案

 

In 1798, German composer Ludwig van Beethoven marked the first passage of his newest composition (作曲) with the Italian term "grave", meaning slow and solemn (肃穆的). He was troubled to learn that he was losing his hearing. But his Sonata Pathétique (《悲怆奏鸣曲》) sounded exciting and optimistic (积极的). It has inspired (激励) many people over the years. On Aug 29, 18-year-old Xiong Linghao from Chengdu Special Education School played the sonata at the 13th Shanghai International Youth Piano Competition. A video of her performance has gotten 7 million views online. It's been a long and hard journey for Xiong. She lost her eyesight due to a medical accident when she was still a baby. Her mother later found that Xiong had a talent for music. At age 3, she could play children's songs on a small electric (电子的) piano. At age 6, she started learning the piano for real. Unlike people who can see the keyboard (键盘), she must remember where each note is. Practice is key because she needs to form muscle memory (肌肉记忆) so she can find the right keys. She practices six to eight hours every day. "I listen to the melody (旋律) again and again and then send what I hear to my fingers. I used to practice with each hand separately before I could play with both hands together," Xiong said. Xiong won the Special Jury Prize (评审团特别奖) at the competition. "The piano has accompanied (陪伴) me through my ups and downs in its own way," she said. "It empowers me and brings so much pleasure (乐趣) into my life."1. Xiong Linghao got attention online for _____.A. being a blind piano playerB. being a young piano playerC. her outstanding memoryD. her sad experience

2. Paragraph 3 is written to show _____.A. how Xiong lost her eyesight B. how Xiong started to learn the pianoC. how Xiong practiced piano D. how Xiong recovered from an accident

3. From what Xiong said, we know that _____.A. she easily remembers where each key isB. she spends a lot of time practicing the pianoC. she gets bored with practicing only one melodyD. she can play any melody after listening to it

4. Xiong's experience is _____.A. dangerousB. excitingC. encouragingD. common

Day Two

Taking care of our outdoor work

What kinds of chores do you usually do around the house? Maybe you clean your room, wash the dishes, sweep or mop (拖) the floor. All of these are "indoor" chores. But in many places – especially in rural (农村的) areas and suburbs (郊区) in the US – kids have different "outdoor" chores during different seasons. In the fall, the most common outdoor chore is raking (清扫) leaves. As trees lose their leaves in fall, the leaves will pile up (堆积) in people's yards. It is up to each family to rake up the leaves and put them in big trash bags. After a heavy snowfall in winter, children help shovel (铲) snow in their front yard. Otherwise (否则), it might be hard for families to leave their homes. Spring and summer bring lots of rain and sun, which make the grass in people's yards grow tall. It is common for kids to mow (割草) their yards to keep them fresh and neat (整洁的). Doing all of these chores might sound like a lot of work. Fortunately (幸运的是), most families give their kids a little bit of money for doing them. People who don't have children might even pay neighborhood kids to take care of chores for them. Either way, it's a good way to make some money if you aren't old enough to have a real job yet.1. In the US, the most common outdoor chore in fall is _____.A. mopping the floorB. walking dogsC. raking leavesD. mowing yards

2. In winter, people shovel snow in their front yard because _____.A. they like to keep their yard clean and neatB. grass won't grow if snow is on itC. it is a traditional winter outdoor activityD. the snow might block their way out

3. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Doing outdoor chores is difficult.B. Kids can earn money by doing outdoor chores.C. People without kids find it hard to do chores.D. US parents don't want to do outdoor chores.

4. The story is mainly about _____.A. ways of making money in the USB. different outdoor chores in the USC. differences between outdoor chores in China and the USD. why people in the US have yards
