2022—2023学年度人教版PEP英语七年级下册期末专项练习—阅读理解 阅读理解（一）Parker Stewart, 15 years old, studies at the Sayre School in Kentucky, US. After doing some independent environmental studies, Parker wanted to make a difference in his community to help the environment.He started to work really hard last year to bring solar (太阳的) energy to his school’s science labs. Thirty solar panels (电板) are going to be used in late November.It started when Parker began researching solar energy. He found a solar power app. When he put in an exact address in it, it would tell him how much sunlight that area receives each day. He found that his school building receives a perfect amount (数量) of sunlight, which provided help for finding a good place to install (安装) solar panels for science labs.At his science teacher’s suggestion, Parker performed an energy examination of one of the school’s science labs to see how much energy it uses. He then started doing more research, including communicating with a local company called Synergy Home to install solar panels.Parker then went to the headmaster of his school to ask for money after explaining the upsides of solar power. The school used the money to buy one panel, but since then, the project has grown to a total of 30 panels. They’re expected to produce enough energy to run all of the four science labs.Debbie Wheeler, his science teacher, said the success of the project was because of Parker’s hard work. He did all of the research necessary to make clear of whether solar energy would be a suitable solution for the school’s labs, as well as found out the number of the cost and good results for the project.Others just talk about improving the environment “but Parker had the persistence to make it happen,” she added.1．Parker tried really hard to make use of __________ for his science labs.A．wind energy B．solar energy C．heat energy2．What do we know about the solar power app in Paragraph 3?A．Parker Steward created the solar power app.B．The app helps to receive more solar energy.C．The app helps find a good place to install solar panels.3．__________ provided Parker with the money he needed.A．His teacher B．His school C．Synergy Home4．According to Teacher Wheeler, Parker succeeded because __________.A．he got a lot of help from his teachersB．he did a lot of research before taking actionC．he worked on a similar project for a local company5．What can be the best title?A．Young Boy, Great Energy B．Parker and Science Labs C．Low Cost, Good Results  （二）Dear Li Mei,How are you?It’s Friday today.

Her mom gets a very low pay.But it doesn’t stop Sanchez’s love of music. She wrote her first song Keep Your Head Up when she was 12. It described the bad situation at her home, but it also sent the message of hope： “My house is old and poor, but it beats (胜过) being homeless… Love yourself and never give up. You’ll see a better life if you keep your head up…”It took Sanchez several months to finish the song. Sometimes during a break in class, when lyrics (歌词) came into her head, “I would have to write them down right then,” she told the local newspaper The Kansas City Star.Jeremy Lillig was a spokesman for Bright Futures, a charity fund. When he saw the video of the song, he was moved. He shared it through social media (社交媒体).

But do you know that a colour has weight? I think you'll say“no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don't believe, you may do a small experiment（实验）.First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes. Wrap（包裹） one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a lttle heavier.Why does it happen? A scientist found that different colours have different weight in a man's mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every colour has its .own weight in our mind. The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow an.d white. The scientists told us that colours also have smell. Can you smell the colour? Of course not. Then why did the scientists say so? That is because every colour represents a kind of light wave（光波）— a certain wavelength（波长）. It reaches our brain（大脑） through organs（感觉器官）According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colour they like, and refuse the colour they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colours you like. Or you'll be nervous or even get ill. If you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, you'll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you'll feel you have been there for only one hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change when we see different colours.1．Which is the lightest colour in a man's mind?A．Red B．Blue C．Green D．White2．Which of the following is NOT true?A．Different colors have different weights in a man's mind.B．The colours “blue” is the second heaviest colour in a man's mind.C．People can't smell the colours.D．The colour you don't like will keep you healthy.3．According to the passage, how long will you feel if you stay in a red room for an hour?A．Two hours. B．Fours hours C．Six hours D．Eight hours.  （六）Often you aren’t happy when you are with your parents. You say that your parents never understand(理解) you. You usually think they are too strict with you and they never give you any free time. Is everything like what you think of? Not really. You can do some things to be good with your parents.Talk to them often. Show your true ideas to them and tell them what you are thinking. Sometimes they want you to be good and healthy. So they worry much about you. Just let them understand you by talking. Help them with the housework. Your parents are usually busy. Why not help them do some housework to make them feel good? A smart child knows what to do for his parents. Spend time with them. Don’t always watch TV in your room. Go out and stay with your parents. Listen to some music with them. Play fun games with them. Or just take walks with them.Your parents also need people to be with.
