2025-2026学年（上）通化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、Chinese movies have become one of the favorites among the youth in Malawi. Because lots of Chinese movies are available in the country, many people can now enjoy them in video show halls, homes and through the Internet.

Luis Ndalama, 38, is a businessman who has been doing a videodisc (影碟) business for over 15 years. He told Xinhua Agency his customers have been watching Chinese movies for a long time. However, because they didn’t understand Chinese, many of them used to have difficulties in following the movies. “But with time, we have seen many Chinese movies with subtitles (字幕) and this helps many of my customers to understand them even better because the Chinese language is new to most of us,” Ndalama said.

In an interview with Xinhua, many young people were able to explain things they learned from movies about China. “It’s always fun watching Chinese movies. At first it was very hard to understand them because everything about them and us was different in terms of language, food, dressing, dances and many other cultural values.

26、Have you ever paid for educational podcasts (播客) or live videos? Ask some people and most of them will say yes. “Pay-for-knowledge” has been a fashionable thing these years. Everything you think of can be found online, skills of talking, designing, computer programming — you name it!

Why is “pay-for-knowledge” industry (产业) developing so rapidly? First, its development is based on the Internet. With a fast network and a smart phone, anyone who has passed the identity (身份) check can be an online teacher, and anyone with an online account can buy “pay-for-knowledge” products that he or she wants at a good price. Second, people are afraid to miss any information. They hope for more useful information which is usually at the hands of experts. Moreover, the need to learn new skills in today’s job market also pushes people to learn on such educational podcasts.

The industry of “pay-for-knowledge” has proved to be a great way of making money. It promises possibilities of turning information into money. It is good for the development of our country and it can help sellers make lots of money. Besides, buyers can enjoy self-growth from it. What’s more, this is a reflection (反映) of people’s respect for knowledge and talents.

However, “pay-for-knowledge” also causes a few problems. For one thing, the market is full of eye-catching words such as “How to be an Industry’s Expert?” which sounds like if you pay for it, you are sure to succeed. For another, a large number of customers buy them just for showing off. That means, with or without these products, they can make it anyway, because they are those who have the ability to learn by themselves.

In general, the best is the one that suits you most. “Pay-for-knowledge” may be used as a good start for self-growth. But be careful when you make a choice, or your dream of success may not come true.

【1】“Pay-for-knowledge” industry is developing rapidly because of the following reasons EXCEPT ____.

A．people today don’t want to miss information

B．the traditional education system doesn’t work

C．today’s job market need people to be more skilled

D．there is a fast network and smart phones nowadays

【2】What can we learn about “pay-for-knowledge” industry from Paragraph 3?

A．The history of its development

B．The problems of its products

C．The advantages of its products

D．The future of this industry

【3】The structure of the passage may be ____.

A．

B．

C．

D．

【4】The author writes this passage to _____.

A．advise people to learn knowledge by themselves online

B．teach parents how to buy “pay-for-knowledge” products

C．ask people to stop trying any of “pay-for-knowledge” products

D．remind people to choose “pay-for-knowledge” products wisely
