2025-2026学年（上）白杨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.

25、We all dream about things that we would like to do we hope to achieve in the future．But are everybody’s dreams the same? Here are some of the findings of a survey about hopes and dreams, in which thousands of students across China took part in it.

What are the hopes of teenagers?

We received several different answers to the question: what would you like to do after finishing your education? I t seems some students would like to start work as soon as possible, so that they can help provide better lives for their parents．Other students hope to continue studying after finis hing school and to go to university．Although money is important, many teenagers said they want to do jobs they enjoy．According to the survey, the most popular choice of job is computer programming.

What are the dreams of teenagers?

Teenagers have all kinds of dreams．Some are more realistic than others．For example, many students said they would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup, maybe working as translators or tour guides．And some said they dream of going to the moon one day.

According to the survey, less realistic dreams are also common, but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve their dreams．Quite a few dream of becoming famous, perhaps famous sports people or singers．Some said they’d like to go on exciting trips; one student said she’d love to sail across the Pacific Ocean．And then there are dreams that are impossible; three students said they’d like to be able to fly!

onclusion: It was clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes．It seems that most stude  nts hope to have a good education and find a good joB． On the other hand, students dream of very different things: good things, and even crazy things．It is very important to dream, so hold on your dreams; one day they may just come true.

26、When the bell rings at 9 o’clock, He Yue, 18, and a group of other students from Jiangsu Xishan Senior High School, crowd into the student community. They quickly put on their work uniforms and act as various workers. They could be a banker, a postman, a radio host or even a leader.

This is part of a project to create a simulated (模拟的) city run by students. Since last year, He Yue has been serving as an office worker for the students’ bank named K-bank.

Besides that, they also offer students interest—free funds and provide safe money—stored boxes. If students want to start a business like designing bookmarks but have no money to buy materials they can come here to loan. “With so much money, I’ve gradually learned to be more careful and thoughtful,” said He.

He is not the only one serving the school. Also, some students serve the food test center and other parts of the project including cultural and creative product community, radio stations, roasts... All of these are real life experiences. “Educators must realize that the top goal of education is not just about scoring good grades, but improving useful skills that will allow students to lead a good life,” said Tang Jiangpeng, headmaster of Jiangsu Xishan High School.
