2019-2020年牛津译林版八年级英语上阅读理解加强训练（五）(含答案)

On Sept 29, China took the Women’s Volleyball World Cup trophy in Japan. The team didn’t lose any of its games during the tournament. It was also the team’s 10th world title (冠军).

“The trophy is the best gift to celebrate the 70th birthday of New China,” People’s Daily said in an article.

The Chinese women’s volleyball team has long been the pride (骄傲) of Chinese athletics. In the 1980s, the team won five world titles in a row (连续), which raised people’s confidence (自信) at the time. Since then, its fighting spirit (精神) has inspired (激励) generations (一代代) of people, both within the team and across the country.

Working hard was key to the team’s success. The World Cup was played in several different cities and the team didn’t have much time to train. The girls had to squeeze in (挤出) training time when they could. On Sept 25, for example, they arrived in Osaka at 2:30 pm and started training only an hour later.

Never giving up, especially during difficult times, is also part of the team’s

fighting spirit, according to head coach Lang Ping. Many of the team’s members kept on playing even after being injured (受伤的). Opposite hitter Gong Xiangyu went to Japan with an injured finger. Blocker Yan Ni had a serious shoulder injury.

With their latest win, the girls are ready to prepare for next year’s Tokyo Olympics. Choose the answer:

1. The Chinese women’s volleyball team _____ in the recent World Cup tournament. A. beat Japan in the final round B. played a total of 10 games C. lost a game on Sept 28 D. won its 10th world title

Day Four

Learning about the natural world

During the spring of 2018, I started taking an online biology class through the Center for Talented Youth (CTY). The online program has many different classes and camps.

I ended up taking over 90 pages of notes on what was covered in the class. I also had exams on every lesson. The exams included difficult multiple choice (多选) questions about what I had learned in the lessons.

In addition to the exams, I also had to finish interactive labs (互动实验).
