If you have a short-term saving goal, it means you ___5__ to have enough money for the thing you want within that time. The other is a long-term goal.

Camping has a long history in Australia. Most Australians love camping in

the holiday. The country has a long history about it, which is a way of life for people in that country. Although that way of life has mostly died out in the modern country, we must take care to remember it.

There is a long tradition. When gold was first discovered and people came from around the world to find their fortune(运气), many could not afford to stay in a hotel. Even if they wanted to, there weren't enough hotels. So they all brought tents and set them up next to their little goldfield. Many people alive

in Australia today are born from those people who spent large parts of their

lives in tents. And it seems to have stayed with us all the way to modern Australia.

In summer, the nation’s camping grounds are covered with families on holiday. It is a great experience for a kid to stay in a tent. He or she can

hear all the sounds of nature in the tent. It’s a place where kids can learn skills like making a fire, cooking and swimming in the water. These experiences can be used for their whole lives. So, you can see it’s always the whole family to go out to the camping grounds and stay in a tent.

Of course, things have changed a lot from the early days of camping, when

you would carry everything needed on your back. Now there are all kinds of tools to take with you, from solar panels(太阳能板) for your electric products to an outdoor shower. They make the camping life more colorful. In fact, many camping grounds you see around the country are so decorated(装饰的）that you have to wonder why those Australians aren't bored to leave the house at all.

16. The second paragraph mainly tells us about_____.

A. the history of camping in Australia

B. what the first visitors did in Australia

C. the hotel situations in Australia

D. Australian’s modern way of life

17. What do Australians prefer to do when summer comes?

A. To go fishing.

B. To make tents by themselves.

C. To go camping.

D. To listen to nature.

18. We can learn from the passage that_____.

A. solar panels are necessary for camping

B. things have changed a lot about camping

C. there are lots of goldfields in Australia

D. camping has already died out nowadays

19. What is the best title for the passage?

A. The history of Australia.

B. The tradition of Australia.

C. Traveling in Australia.

D. Camping in Australia.

B篇

Saalumrada Thimmakka, an uneducated woman who, along with her late husband, planted and cared for 384 banyan trees(榕树) in her hometown of HUlikal village, Inida. Now she is 104 years old. And she lives on to tell the story.

When Thimmakka was a young girl, she married a farmer named CHikkaiah and together they made a living by farming. The couple remained childless for many years. But instead of losing themselves in self-pity, they decided to make the best of their situation. “One day, we thought why not plant trees and take care of them like our children,” Thimmakka said.

They started by grafting(嫁接) 10 saplings(树苗) from the banyan trees that grew in their village. They planted those saplings on an empty land about four kilometers from the village. There wasn't any water in the area, so they carried water all the way to water the trees every single day. They protected the saplings from bad weather and animals, until they took root(根). The next year, they planted 15 more saplings, 20 the year after that, and kept going until they planted a total of 384 trees, which are worth about 1.5 million dollars now.

Today, the trees have grown up into a forest. The forest is between the villages of Hulikal and Kudoor, about 80 kilometers away from the state capital of Bangalore. Unluckily, her husband died in 1991, but Thimmakka has won several state and national prizes, including the National Citizen’s Award in 1995 and the Godfrey Phillips Bravery Award in 2006. She has been highly spoken of(赞扬) by governments and environmental organizations. However, she still lives a very poor life. She owns a simple three-room house.

Though she is old, Thimmakka is still active in making a difference. “I have been hoping to start a hospital, but no one seems interested,” she said. “Although it is hard for me, I will keep trying. I do believe my dream will be realized if I stick to（坚持） it.”

20. How did Thimmakka and her husband make a living after they married?

A. By farming.

八年级英语阅读竞赛试卷

八年级英语阅读竞赛试卷 Name:__________ Class:___________ A Sociologists(社会学家), working in western countries, have found that a large number of women wished they had been born men. The number is said to be as high as 60% in Germany. “Women often wish they had the same chances as men have, and think it is still men’s world.” Said Dr. James Helen, one of the sociologists who did the study. Many men say that they have more duties than women. A man has to make money to support(养活) his family and to make the important decision, so it is right for men to be paid more. Some are even against their wives working at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the home and children cannot be taken good care of. If women take full-time jobs, they won’t be able to do what they are best at doing: making a nice home and bringing up the children. Some women disagree. They say they want to get out of their homes and to have freedom to choose between work and home life. Women have the right of equal pay and equal chances. Anne Harper has a very good job. She also believes in “Women’s Liberation”. “I don’t wish I were a man,” she says, “and I don’t think many women do. But I do wish people would stop treating us like second-class people. At work, for example, we usually do the work that men do but get paid less. There are still a lot of jobs only to men usually they are the best ones. If you are a man, you have a much better chance of living a wonderful life. How many women scientists are there…or engineers?” 1.Many men think_______. A. women can’t do what men can. B. men have to work much harder than women C. men can make money more easily than women. D. women’s duty is mainly to do housework at home. 2.Some women have different ideas. They say that____________. A. women need chances to go out of the home more often. B. women want more freedom in deciding the kind of life they want. C. if women are given equal pay, they can do everything instead of men. D. women are no longer interested in taking care of their homes. 3. Anne Harper thought that women should _________. A. live a better life than men B. be really liberated C. be given better jobs than men D. live a more wonderful life than men 4. Anne Harper didn’t wish to be a man __________. A. because she believed in “Women’s Liberation” B. but she wished to get the same job as men C. because she had got a good job D. but she wished to be treated the same as a man 5. Which of the following is not true according to the passage? A. There are more men scientists, engineers than women ones. B. Women are second-class people, so they shouldn’t live a better life. C. Women do the same jobs as men, but get paid less than men.
