不论学习何种语言，阅读都占有相当重要的地位。以汉语为例，尽管我们学习汉语的环境与生俱来，而且事实上也是通过听、说不断发展语言能力的，但真正达到驾轻就熟的境地则是在具备了相当的阅读技能之后。学习母语尚且如此，学习英语就更不用多说了。学生只有尽可能地涉猎课外英语读物，才能开拓视野，激发兴趣，培养语感，提高阅读技能。《新课标英语阅读步步高·八年级》正是基于这一目的，为广大八年级学生编写的。 《新课标英语阅读步步高（8年级）》共分两部分。第一部分是与教材配套的同步阅读，内容与现行教材的单元话题相关。第二部分是为帮助学生准备期末考试而设计的综合阅读模拟练习。 《新课标英语阅读步步高（8年级）》主要特点如下： 1.《新课标英语阅读步步高（8年级）》所选的材料题材广泛，体裁多样。文章的内容新颖、有趣，可读性强。通过阅读这些文章，学生不但可以提高阅读能力，而且可以开阔视野，扩大知识面。 2.完形填空和阅读理解是考查学生运用英语能力的主要题型，是各类考试中的“重头戏”。《新课标英语阅读步步高（8年级）》将这两者结合在一起，学生可以利用一《新课标英语阅读步步高（8年级）》同时进行完形填空和阅读理解两方面的训练。 3.《新课标英语阅读步步高（8年级）》练习按单元编写。每单元包括1篇完形填空（15小题）和3篇阅读理解（15小题）。学生可以按单元进行训练，每单元的练习题在40-45分钟内完成，以利于提高实战能力。 4.每单元的材料后面设有“小词典”，将文章中的生词和常用短语标明汉语释义，一方面便于学生阅读，另一方面有助于学生掌握更多英语词汇。 5.《新课标英语阅读步步高（8年级）》附有参考答案，但没有详细注释，目的是让学生在阅读时认真思考，最终对每篇文章、每道题作出正确的理解和判断，以帮助学生提高独立阅读的能力。 《新课标英语阅读步步高（8年级）》由邵葵主编，杨晓峰、徐碧瑛、金利琴、毛姝静、王婷、肖华、刘丽、赵航、徐凡、林语、王林、吕松婷等编写。 书中如有疏漏或错误之处，敬请读者和同行指正。

4 In today’s world，almost everyone knows that air pollution and water pollution are harmful to people’s health．However，not all the students know that noise is also a kind of pollution，and that is harmful to human health，too． People who work and live under noisy conditions usually become deaf．Today，however， scientists believe that 1 0 percent of workers in Britain are being deafened by the noise where they work．Many of the workers who print newspapers and books，and who weave cloth become deaf．Quite a few people living near airports also become deaf．Recently it was discovered that many teenagers in America could hear no better than 65-year-old people，for these young people like to listen to“pop”music and most of“pop”music is a kind of noise． Besides，noise produced by jet planes or machines will make people’s life difficult and unpleasant，Or even make people ill or even drive them mad．It is said that a continuous noise of over 85 decibels can cause deafness． Nowadays the governments in many countries have made laws o reduce or control noise and make it less than 85 decibels．In China，the people’s government is trying to solve not only air and water pollution problems but also noise pollution problem．
