人教版2019-2020年八年级下学期英语期末考试试卷D卷姓名:_ 班级:_ 成绩:_一、 阅读理解(共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分) (共4题；共30分)1. （6分）阅读理解 Todays teens have grown up online. They socialize online. They do homework online. And surely they get their news online. But because they are so comfortable with the Internet, they seldom question the news stories online and pass along to their friends.Now William Colglazier, a history teacher at a high school in America, is teaching his students how to think critically about online information and recognize a fake(假的)news story. His idea came from a study on peoples online reasoning at Stanford University. The study found that young people lack(缺少)ability to reason about the information on the Internet. Most middle school students in the study could not tell the difference between an advertisement and a news story, and high school and college students fully trusted the websites ending inorg.The good news is that, according to Colglazier, once teens realize theyve been duped, they have strong will to tell truth from lies. But they need some pointers on how to find dependable and persuasive evidence(证据)and how to recognize when others use poor argumentation, he said. Some of the pointersthat Colglazier offers his students include moving off the site to find more information about the site and the writers motivations(动机), looking past the first page of results in a google search and looking at the second or third page, and going beyond the About Us page on a website to find out more about the organization behind the news story.Colglazier has tips for parents as well. He says its a good idea for parents to be friends with their kids on social media(媒体)to see what stories they are sharing. He also suggests parents watch their teens as they search for something online and ask questions like Why did you click on that? and Do you trust this information? Those questions can lead kids to form habits of thinking critically about online information.Colglazier shared some of his course with other teens in Teen Vogue, a famous magazine. He hopes more kids would take away some knowledge about thinking critically when they read news online. The Internet is both beautiful and ugly, he said. If people cannot tell real news from fake news, the results can be frightening.（1）When teens read a news story online, they .A . seldom raise doubts about itB . always share it with their parentsC . usually pay attention to the websiteD . often consider it as an advertisement（2）The word duped in Paragraph 3 probably means .

With its help, plastics can be turned into smaller parts and go away quickly. Scientists believe that, in the future, it could solve the problem of plastic pollution.The enzyme is able to break down PET, a form of plastic. PET was first made in the 1940s and is now widely used to make plastic bottles. It can remain in the environment for many years and pollute large areas of land and water. So it has always been a headache to deal with the waste from PET and other plastics.The researchers made the discovery (发现) while examining the structure of a natural enzyme in Japan. They found that the natural enzyme was helping to break down PET plastics. So, they decided to make small changes to the enzyme by adding some amino acids (氨基酸). It made the natural enzymes plastic-eating abilities work faster and better.John McGeehan, one of the lead researchers, said, Weve made an improved enzyme. Its better than the natural one. And we are trying to make more improvements to it. He went on, The enzyme is not harmful to humans or animals, and it is friendly to the environment. So we are considering putting it into wider use.The team is now trying to make the enzyme break down PET in large quantities (大量地).Well see that the plastic pollution may be stopped with this technology. However, there is still a long way to go, John McGeehan added.（1）According to the scientists the enzyme may solve the problem of pollution. A . airB . waterC . lightD . plastic（2）The underlined phrase break down in the passage probably means _ in Chinese. A . 实验B . 生产C . 发明D . 分解（3）Researchers discovered that a natural enzyme helped eat plastics _.
