一、八年级英语下册阅读理解专项练习（含答案解析）
1．阅读理解
Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print?
Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare. And because there weren't many books, few people learned to read.
Then printing was invented in China. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly.
Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players.
Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. So will books be replaced by computers one day? No, I don't think the Yao Ming posters on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a two-metre-high computer!

A. He reads books.

B. In the 19th century.
C. About 1,000 years ago.

A. People could not read.
B. People could not write words on paper.
C. People could not find silk, cotton or bamboo.
D. People could only produce books one at a time by hand.
（4）What happened after books became cheaper?
A. People didn't want to buy books.

2．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

On February 3rd, 1949, New York Harbor （港）was an exciting place. Many people were there to greet a ship from France. On the ship were 49 French railroad boxcars （火车车厢）filled with gifts from the people of France to the people of America. These boxcars were from the famous Merci Train （Merci: a French word meaning "thank you"）.
After World War Ⅱ, a lot of factories, roads and farms in France had been destroyed. Many French people had no jobs or money and had little to wear and little to eat. In the winter of 1947, a train was sent across the United States, stopping in cities and towns along the way. At every stop, people gave whatever they could. Factories gave clothing and medicine. Farmers gave food. Families gave money. Even school children gave away their pocket money. All the things were then taken to France by ship.
By 1949, the French had begun to recover （恢复） from the war. The Merci Train was their way of saying "thank you" to America. French people had filled the boxcars with gifts. Most of them were personal, like hand-made toys, children's drawings, or postcards. But the boxcars themselves were perhaps the most meaningful of the gifts. On each car, the French people had painted the pictures of all their 40 provinces, with an American eagle on the front. The boxcars were taken to each state of America, where they were warmly greeted.
Now many of the states still keep their boxcars. Gifts sent by the French people can still be seen in some museums. The Merci Train came out of the war, but it now reminds the world that countries can also work together in peace.
（1）Many people crowded at New York Harbor on February 3rd, 1949 to ________.
A. welcome the Merci Train
B. meet their families
C. have a big party
D. start a trip by ship
（2）In 1947, a train stopped in cities across America in order to ________.
A. give away clothing and food
B. get more soldiers for the war
C. collect things to help French people
D. show exhibitions from the museums
（3）The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 3 refers to （指） ________.
A. the American people
B. the French people
C. the boxcars
D. the gifts （4）The passage is mainly about ________.
A. the story of the Merci Train
B. the history of World War Ⅱ
C. gifts that American people liked
D. American museums where the boxcars were kept
【答案】（1）A
（2）C
（3）D
（4）A
【解析】【分析】大意：短文主要介绍了来自法国的Merci Train的故事。

（1）细节理解题。

根据第一段 Many people were there to greet a ship from France. 很多人在那里欢迎一艘来自法国的船，可知这一天人们聚集在纽约港是为了欢迎Merci Train。

（2）细节理解题。

根据第二段 All the things were then taken to France by ship. 所有的东西通过船被带到法国，可知火车在美国的每个城市停留是为了收集物资帮助法国人民。

故选C。

（3）代词辨析题。

On the first day of the New Year 2019, I made up my mind to go to Thailand to teach English as a volunteer. At the beginning, all I cared about was travelling and seeing the country. I didn't know how fantastic my life would be in the coming months!
My journey began with attending TESOL certification course in my home state of New York last February. After 3 weekends of study and another 40 hours' study online, I received my TESOL certificate.
I was asked to contact Philip, who is Program Director of the Teach in Thailand. After discussing with Philip, I chose my school and after many months of excitement, I finally flew to Thailand in
early April and I couldn't wait to explore the country!
After a few weeks of single travel, I met up with Philip and the other new teachers in my program in Bangkok. It was great to meet other people who were on the same journey as me, see some cool sights and walk in Thailand's cities! After that, I attended the week-long training. At the end of the training, I was sent to my school—Anuban Buriram Primary School.
I truly love my job—I teach Grades 5 and 6 and I have the cleverest and most active kids in the world. It's a truly fantastic thing that you can see the difference you make in someone else's life, right in front of you!
Buriram is a small city with green rice fields. People here are more friendly than anyone I've ever met—I've never been anywhere where a smile is so easily received, where everyone you pass is so friendly to say "Hello" and "Good morning". I've been taken out to countless dinners, and been lent a guitar, a camera, and I am given Thai treats and the most delicious fresh fruits many times a week. I only hope to repay them in the future.
