第9課時 八年級上冊Units 13好題隨堂演練一、閱讀理解A(xx廣西貴港港南二模改編)Chris Hughes is a 24yearold man from the United Kingdom. He often wears the same clothes for many days in a row because he doesnt know how to use a washing machine.This is not a joke. Hughes is far from the only young person who doesnt have basic life skills. According to a recent study by You Gov (a UK market research firm 2 B), todays young people in the UK are less capable(有能力的) than older generations(老一輩人) when it comes to basic life skills.For example, about 35% dont know how to sew(縫) on a button and 11% dont understand how to change a light bulb(電燈泡) or iron(熨燙) clothes.This problem is shared by young people in the United States as well. According to Forbes(福布斯), many young people in the US are losing the skill of cooking, as they are much more likely to order takeout food.Technology may be the main reason for this. Born and grown in a digital age(數(shù)字化時代), young people are more familiar(熟悉的) with using phones and computers. For example, with GPS always at hand, young people have no need to learn how to read physical maps.However, this does not mean that younger generations are unable to complete basic everyday tasks. The Mimor showed that as their lives have changed, the major life skills that they are good at have changed as well.The study results show that although only 45% know how to pay their water and electricity bills after leaving home, 72% could help set up a WiFi network in a new house.1Why does Hughes often wear the same clothes for many days?ABecause he has developed it as a habit.BBecause his clothes wont get dirty.CBecause he likes to play jokes on others.DBecause he doesnt know how to wash them.2According to You Govs study, young people cant iron clothes.A11% B35%C45% D72%3What could be the main reason for this problem?ATechnology in the digital age.BToo much homework every day.CParents love for their children.DThe convenient use of GPS.4According to The Mimor, most young people today Adont need to learn basic life skillsBare developing new basic life skillsCcant complete basic everyday tasksDare good at setting up new houses5Whats the best title of the passage?AThe story of ChrisBHow to sew on a buttonCTechnology skillsDBasic life skills are drying outB(2019預(yù)測)As time goes by, are you still the same person you were?
