掌上周报英语周报答案2023-2024八年级上册第九期期中专练

Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some forms—football, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.

Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.

Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.

If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.

The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.

A mountain climber continues to improve in skills year by year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

1.What sports are popular among people in winter in the passage?

A. Soccer and golf.               B. Skiing and skating.

3. Mountaineering is a sport, not a game because_______.

A. it has man-made rules

C. a mountain climber passes his best by the age of thirty

试题分析: 本文给读者介绍了登山这项体育运动。虽然同是体育活动，但是登山不同于足球，高尔夫球等竞赛性运动方式，因为它没有人为制定的规章制度要求参与者必须遵守。登山是一种参与者可以使用任何适合自己的方法，根据自己的体力和技能进行的一种有益于健康的野外活动。

1.细节理解题。根据文章首段Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing.可知冬天人们喜欢滑冰，滑雪，选B。

2.词义猜测题。根据后句Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship,可以判断有些人非常乐于去爬高而险的山，由此推断passion有“非常愿意，渴望”之意，故答案选A。

3.细节理解题。从文章第三段首句Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. 和尾句Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.可知登山只是一项运动而非比赛的原因是登山没有人为制定的规则，登山者可以自由使用任何方法，故答案选D。

4.细节理解题。从文章末段内容But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps……and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.可知年纪在五、六十岁的人攀登最高的山是很少见的，但是通过更多的技巧，节省更多的体力，他们仍然是可以爬上阿尔卑斯山脉山的，选D。

5.主旨大意题。文章首段通过列举人们喜欢的体育运动，提出登山这一话题。然后在下文围绕mountaineering展开行文，讲述了登山与其他体育竞赛存在的不同之处，由此可知文章中心话题是mountaineering，故答案选C。

6.is being put on

7.can hardly /could hardly / cannot/could not wait to begin

8.because of the bad/terrible weather that

9.three of whom agreed

10.did they make

【解析】

试题分析:

1. travels faster 考查时态。因为“光传播速度比声音快”是真理，所以用一般现在时。故答案为light travels faster.

2. I had gone through 考查固定结构。某人第一次做某事：it is （was ）the first time that sb. have （had ）done sth. 如果主句为一般现在时（is），从句中则用现在完成时（have done )；如果主句为一般过去时(was)，从句则用过去完成时(had done).经历:go through. 故答案为that I had gone through.

3. organize 考查insist 的用法。当insist 表示”坚持(做某事)”，引导的宾语从句中谓语动词要用(should )+动词原形。故答案为(should) organize.

4. matter how tired I am/feel考查让步状语从句。no matter +疑问词可引导让步状语从句，no matter when: 无论何时;no matter what: 无论什么;no matter how: 无论多么的… 故答案为No matter how tired I am/feel.

5. he explained考查定语从句。分析句子可知(that/which) he explained at yesterday’s meeting for his carelessness in his work为定语从句，先行词为the reason,所以用that /which 引导定语从句。先行词在定语从句中充当explained的宾语，故引导词that /which 可省略。故答案为(that/which) he explained.

6. being put on考查现在进行时表将来时态。put on:增加;穿上;上演。分析语境可知是将来时，因为主语为a new film与put on 之间为动宾关系，所以用被动语态。故答案为is being put on.

7. hardly /could hardly / cannot/could not wait to begin考查固定结构。迫不及待做某事:can hardly /could hardly / cannot/could not wait to do sth. 故答案为can hardly /could hardly / cannot/could not wait to begin.

8. of the bad/terrible weather that考查强调句。分析句子可知它是一个强调句，被强调部分为原因状语。强调句基本结构为it’s+被强调部分+that…坏的天气:bad weather 由于because后接从句，而because of 后接名词或名词性短语，所以这里选用because of. 故答案为because of the bad/terrible weather that.

9. of whom agreed考查非限制性定语从句。分析句子可知three of whom agreed that it was the best one this year为定语从句，先行词为five judges，先行词在定语从句中和three of 一起做主语，故用who 引导。因为介词of 后面应用宾格形式whom ，故答案为three of whom agreed.

10. they make考查部分倒装。当only 修饰状语或者状语从句并位于句首时，句子要部分倒装，即将情态动词/be 动词/助动词提到主语前。做决定:make a decision. 所以用助动词帮助句子形成倒装。由had discussed可知句子为过去时,所以用did 。故答案为did they make.
