2025-2026学年（上）南昌八年级质量检测英语

1、阅读下面的短文, 将划线部分译成英文或中文。

The world is not hungry, but it is thirsty.1. It seems strange that nearly3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can't drink or use for watering plants directly. Man can only drink and use 3%—the water that comes from rivers and lakes. 2.而且由于有一些水已经被污染, 我们甚至不能全部利用。

Now more water is needed. The problem is:Can we avoid（避免）a serious water shortage later on? Firstly, we should all learn how to save water. Secondly, we should find out ways to reuse it. Scientists have always been making studies in the field. 3. Today. in most large cities. water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers. But it can be used again.4. Even if every large city reused its water. still it would not be enough. Thirdly, there is a lot of water in the sea. What we should do is to separate the salt from the sea water. This is expensive, but it's already used in many parts of the world.5.科学家们正在尽力找出一个更加便宜的方式来做这件事。So you see, if we can find a way out. we'll be in no danger of drying up.

24、Felicia Grimenhag from Sweden doesn’t let anything get in her way, even a life changing accident.

After a serious car accident, Felicia had to get used to getting around in a wheelchair. But that didn’t stop her from following her dream of becoming a top horse rider.

In early June 2011, 17-year-old Felicia got hit by a car. When she woke up in the hospital, she found both of her legs were missing. However. Felicia didn’t quit trying to achieve her dream. She wanted to get back on the horse. She had ridden as a little girl and decided in the hospital to try again. She wasn’t sure if she would be able to. But after ten weeks training, she could ride once again!

“The horses have meant a lot to me,” Felicia said. “When I sit on a horse, I don’t feel like the disabled Felicia, I feel like the confident Felicia.”

She has since taken part in competitions around the world, showing she doesn’t need legs to win. Last year, she won silver at the Swedish Championships, and now she is preparing for the Tokyo Paralympics.

“What I have learned from all this is that you should dare to challenge yourself and remember that you are the only person that sets your own limits(限制),” Felicia said.

25、   When you're sitting in class, have you ever drawn pictures in the margins(页边的空白处) of your notebooks? If so, you are doodling. Many people think of doodling as a distraction(精神焕发) from more important things. But it might be just the opposite.

One study shows that doodling may help you remember things you hear. In 2009 researchers asked two groups of people to listen to a phone message. One group was encouraged to doodle, but the other was not. Neither group knew that it would be asked to remember information from the message. But the group that doodled remembered 29% more.

Other people have suggested other uses for drawing. Jesse Prinz, a professor who studies doodling, says it can help you think creatively. Walking away from a problem to draw might actually help you solve it. When you come back, you will have a fresh perspective(观点) and figure out an answer more quickly.

Two years ago, an author named Sunni Brown wrote a book on doodling. She argues that doodling is a tool that can help people think. She admits that people see doodling as doing nothing, but she wants to change that In fact, she runs a business that helps companies improve organization and planning through doodling. Brown believes doodling is helpful because it includes many ways of learning. You learn in four ways: seeing, hearing, reading or writing, and through movement. The more ways you use, the better you learn. And when you doodle while listening to a lecture, you use all four.

You might think that being good at drawing is important for doodling. But if the point of doodling is to help you think, then it doesn't matter what the picture looks like. Even if you're not an artist, doodling can help you. So next time you need help focusing, pick up a pen and doodle away !

A.doodling should be done while listening to a lecture

B.doodling can help you remember information very quickly
