In China,children like to sing a lovely little song.“Little swallow,wears bright clothes,and comes here every spring.”But have you ever wondered where all the swallows go during the cold winter?

Like many other animals,swallows will fly south when days turn cold leaves begin to fall from trees.They travel many miles to find a warmer winter.This type of travel is called migration. Birds are animals that like to migrate a lot when it is cold.About600out9,000kinds of birds do it. They leave in autumn and come back during the warm spring months.

Many birds don’t like the cold weather.They need food,but plants die and insects hide in winter. So,they will only come home the next year,when there will be lots of food for them to eat.But the trip is often hard and not safe.Many birds fly in groups and make noises.Cranes fly in groups like the letter V,or in a row.Others travel in pairs or alone.

Some can travel a very long way.They fly between lands.For example,the Arctic tern can travel 20,100kilometres.They build a home near the North Pole,go to the Antarctica in autumn,and then come back in spring.

American and British people both speak English of course.But sometimes there are some important differences between British English and American English.

First of all,they sound very different.Often,Americans don’t say each word separately.They say words together.Americans may say“I dun no”instead of“I don’t know”.Or they may say “Whaddya say?”instead of“What did you say?”However,the British are more careful.They usually say all the words and keep them separate.

Sound is not only the difference.Words sometimes have different meanings too.For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different.Americans drive trucks,but in England people drive lorries.

Many expressions are also different in the two countries.In England,if you are going to telephone your friends,you“phone them up”.In America,you“give them a call”.When you are saying goodbye in England you might say“Cheerio!”In America you might say“See you later.”There’re also some differences in grammar.For example,Americans usually use the helping verb “do”when they ask a question.They say“Do you have a storybook?”But the British often leave out the helping verb.They say“Have you a storybook?”

Most languages are like https://www.sodocs.net/doc/332918785.html,nguages change over time.When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways.This is what has happened to English.It can also happen to other languages,such as French.Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France.

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.

高考英语阅读理解试题经典及解析

高考英语阅读理解试题经典及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 When times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we're hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education. One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor's degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But there's a question: Would the quality of undergraduate education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a "three-year degree" model. I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits. In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly "throw out" one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist "diluting (稀释)" the quality of the education they offer. In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it's not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns (实习生) in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University. （1）Which of the following can best sum up the main idea? A.It's time to shorten the learning process. B.Best learning takes place over time. C.University education should be watered down. D.College education calls for reform. （2）We can learn from the passage that ________. A.most American universities are against the "three-year degree" model B.many famous US universities are considering adopting the "three-year degree" model C.professors are willing to accept the "three-year degree" model D.The "three-year degree" model can make college learning more efficient （3）In most US universities, ________. A.college students are offered the co-op program B.electives' credits make up one quarter of the required credits C.all students are required to finish four-year education before graduation D.some excellent students can graduate ahead of time
