英语八级快速阅读理解试题及答案解析
英语八级快速阅读理解试题及答案解析TEXT CIn Barcelona the Catalonians call them castells, but these aren't stereotypical castles in Spain. These castles are made up of human beings, not stone. The people who perform this agile feat of acrobatics are called castellers, and to see their towers take shape is to observe a marvel of human cooperation.First the castellers form what looks like a gigantic rugby scrummage. They are the foundation blocks of the castle. Behind them, other people press together, forming outward-radiating ramparts of inward-pushing muscle: flying buttresses for the castle. Then sturdy but lighter castellers scramble over the backs of those at the bottom and stand, barefoot, on their shoulders—then still others, each time adding a higher "story".These human towers can rise higher than small apartment buildings: nine “stories”, 35 feet into the air. Then, just When it seems this tower of humanity can't defy gravity any longer, a little kid emerges from the crowd and climbs straight up to the top. Arms extended, the child grins while waving to the cheering crowd far below.Dressed in their traditional costumes, the castellers seem to epitomize an easier time, before Barcelona became a world metropolis arid the Mediterranean's most dynamic city. But when you observe-them tip close, in their street clothes, at practice, you see there's nothing easy about what the castellers do - and that they are not merely reenacting an ancient ritual.None of the castellers can-give a logical answer as to why they love doing this. But Victor Luna, 16, touches me on the shoulder and says in English: "We do it because it's beautiful. We do it because we are Catalan."Barcelona’s mother tongue is Catalan, and to understand Barcelona, you must understand two words of Catalan: seny and rauxa. Seny pretty much translates as common sense, or the ability to make money, arrange things, and get things done. Rauxa is reminiscent of our words “raucous” and “ruckus”.What makes the castellers revealing of the city is that they embody rauxa and seny. The idea of a human castle is rauxa—it defies common sense—but to watch one going up is to see seny in action. Success is based on everyone working together to achieve a shared goal.The success of Carlos Tusquets' bank, Fibanc, shows seny at work in everyday life. The bank started as a family concern and now employs hundreds. Tusquets said it exemplifies how the economy in Barcelona is different.Entrepreneurial seny demonstrates why Barcelona and Catalonia—the ancient region of which Barcelona is the capital—are distinct from the rest of Spain yet essential to Spain's emergence, after centuries of repression, as a prosperous, democratic European country. Catalonia, with Barcelona as its dynamo, has turned into an economic powerhouse. Making up 6 percent of Spain’s territory, with a sixth of its people, it accounts for nearly a quarter of Spain's production—everything from textiles to computers—even though the rest of Spain has been enjoying its own economic miracle.Hand in hand with seny goes rauxa, and there's no better place to see rauxa in action than on the Ramblas, the venerable, tree-shaded boulevard that, in gentle stages, leads you from the centre of Barcelona down to the port. There are two narrow lanes each way for cars and motorbikes, but it’s the wide centre walkway that makes the Ramblas a front-row seat for Barcelona's longest running theatrical event. Plastic armchairs are set out on the sidewalk. Sit in one of them, and an attendantwill come and charge you a small fee. Performance artists throng the Ramblas—stilt walkers, witches caked in charcoal dust, Elvis impersonators. But the real stars are the old women and happily playing children, millionaires on motorbikes, and pimps and women who, upon closer inspection, prove not to be.Aficionados (Fans) of Barcelona love to compare notes: “Last night there was a man standing on the balcony of his hotel room,” Mariana Bertagnolli, an Italian photographer, told me. "The balcony was on the second floor. He was naked, and he was talking into a cell phone."There you have it, Barcelona's essence. The man is naked (rauxa), but he is talking into a cell phone (seny).21. From the description in the passage, we learn thatA. all Catalonians can perform castells.B. castells require performers to stand on each other.C. people perform castells in different formations.D. in castells people have to push and pull each other.22. According to the passage, the4mplication of the performance is thatA. the Catalonians are insensible and noisy people.B. the Catalonians show more sense than is expected.C. the Catalonians display paradoxical characteristics.D. the Catalonians think highly of team work.23. The passage cites the following examples EXCEPT __________ to show seny at work.A. development of a bankB. dynamic role in economyC. contribution to national economyD. comparison with other regions24. In the last but two paragraph, the Ramblas is described as “a front-row seat for Barcelona’s longest running theatrical event”. Wha t does it mean?A. On the Ramblas people can see a greater variety of performances.B. The Ramblas provides many front seats for the performances.C. The Ramblas is preferred as an important venue for the events.D. Theatrical performers like to perform on the Ramblas.25. What is the main impression of the scenes on the Ramblas?A. It is bizarre and Outlandish.B. It is of average quality.C. It is conventional and quiet.D. It is of professional standard.TEXT DThe law firm Patrick worked for before he died filed for bankruptcy protection a year after his funeral. After his death, the firm's letterhead properly included him: Patrick S. Lanigan, 1954-1992. He was listed up in the right-hand corner, just above the paralegals. Then the rumors got started and wouldn't stop. Before long, everyone believed he had taken the money and disappeared. After three months, no one on the Gulf Coast believed that he was dead. His name came off the letterhead as the debts piled up.The remaining partners in the law firm were still together, attached unwillingly at the hip by the bondage of mortgages and the bank notes, back when they were rolling and on the verge of serious wealth. They had been joint defendants in several unwinnable lawsuits; thus the bankruptcy. Since Patrick's departure, they had tried every possible way to divorce one another, but nothing would work. Two were raging alcoholics who drank at the office behind locked doors, but nevertogether. The other two were in recovery, still teetering on the brink of sobriety.He took their money. Their millions. Money they had already spent long before it arrived, as only lawyers can do. Money for their richly renovated office building in downtown Biloxi. Money for new homes, yachts, condos in the Caribbean. The money was on the way, approved, the papers signed, orders entered; they could see it, almost touch it when their dead partner—Patrick—snatched it at the last possible second.He was dead. They buried him on February 11, 1992. They had consoled the widow and put his rotten name on their handsome letterhead. Yet six weeks later, he somehow stole their money. They had brawled over who was to blame. Charles Bogan, the firm's senior partner and its iron hand, had insisted the money be wired from its source into a new account offshore, and this made sense after some discussion. It was ninety million bucks, a third of which the firm would keep, and it would be impossible to hide that kind of money in Biloxi, population fifty thousand. Someone at the bank would talk. Soon everyone would know. All four vowed secrecy, even as they made plans to display as much of their new wealth as possible. There had even been talk of a firm jet, a six-seater.So Bogan took his share of the blame. At forty-nine, he was the oldest of the four, and, at the moment, the most stable. He was also responsible for hiring Patrick nine years earlier, and for this he had received no small amount of grief.Doug Vitrano, the litigator, had made the fateful decision to recommend Patrick as the fifth partner. The other three had agreed, and when Patrick Lanigan was added to the firm name, he had access to virtually every file in the office. Bogan, Rapley, Vitrano, Havarac, and Lanigan, Attorneys and Counselors-at-Law. A large ad in the yellow pages claimed "Specialists in Offshore Injuries." Specialists or not, like most firms they would take almost anything if the fees were lucrative. Lots of secretaries and paralegals. Big overhead, and the strongest political connections on the Coast. They were all in their mid- to late forties. Havarac had been raised by his father on a shrimp boat. His hands were still proudly calloused, and he dreamed of choking Patrick until his neck snapped. Rapley was severely depressed and seldom left his home, where he wrote briefs in a dark office in the attic.26. What happened to the four remaining lawyers after Patrick's disappearance?A. They all wanted to divorce their wives.B. They were all heavily involved in debts.C. They were all recovering from drinking.D. They had bought new homes, yachts, etc.27. Which of the following statements contains a metaphor?A. His name came off the letterhead as the debts piled up.B. …they could see it, almost touch it when their dead partner...C. …, attached unwillingly at the h ip by the bondage of mortgages...D. …, and for this he had received no small amount of grief.28. According to the passage, what is the main cause of Patrick stealing the money?A. Patrick was made a partner of the firm.B. The partners agreed to have the money transferred.C. Patrick had access to all the files in the firm.D. Bogan decided to hire Patrick nine years earlier.29. The lawyers were described as being all the following EXCEPTA. greedy.B. extravagantC. quarrelsome.D. bad-tempered.30. Which of the following implies a contrast?A. …, and it would be impossible to hide that kind of money in Biloxi, population fifty thousand.B. They had been joint defendants in several unwinnable lawsuits; thus the bankruptcy.C. There had even been talk of a firm jet, a six-seater.D.

英语快速阅读练习### English Speed Reading PracticeIn today's fast-paced world, the ability to read quickly is a valuable skill. Whether you're a student, a professional, or just someone who loves to read, improving your reading speed can save you time and increase your productivity. Here are some tips and exercises to help you enhance your English speed reading skills.1. Understanding the BasicsSpeed reading is not just about reading faster; it's about reading smarter. It involves techniques that allow you to comprehend more information in less time. Start by understanding the difference between speed reading and skimming. While skimming is about getting the gist of the text, speed reading focuses on retaining information at a faster pace.2. Eliminating SubvocalizationOne common barrier to speed reading is subvocalization, the habit of silently pronouncing each word as you read. To overcome this, try to focus on the meaning of the text rather than the individual words. Practice by reading without moving your lips or tongue.3. Expanding Your Peripheral VisionYour peripheral vision is the area outside your central focus. By training your eyes to take in more information at once,you can read more words per glance. Practice this by using a pen or your finger to guide your eyes across the page, gradually increasing the number of words you take in witheach pass.4. Using a Pacing ToolA pacing tool, such as a pen or a ruler, can help youmaintain a steady reading speed. Move the tool across thetext at a speed that is slightly faster than your current reading pace. This will encourage you to read faster without losing comprehension.5. Chunking InformationInstead of reading word by word, try to read in chunks or groups of words. This can help you process information more efficiently. Start by reading two or three words at a timeand gradually increase the number of words in each chunk as you become more comfortable.6. Reading with PurposeBefore you start reading, ask yourself what you want to getout of the text. Having a clear purpose can help you focus on the relevant information and ignore the rest, which can significantly speed up your reading.7. Practice RegularlyLike any skill, speed reading improves with practice. Set aside time each day to practice your speed reading. Start with texts that are easy for you and gradually move on to more challenging material.8. Monitor Your ProgressKeep track of your reading speed and comprehension. Use a timer to measure how long it takes you to read a set amount of text and then quiz yourself on the content to check your understanding. Over time, you should see improvements in both speed and comprehension.9. Stay HealthyYour physical health can impact your cognitive abilities. Ensure you are well-rested, hydrated, and eating a balanced diet to support optimal brain function.10. Don't Forget to Enjoy the ProcessWhile the goal is to read faster, it's also important to enjoy the reading experience. Don't let the pursuit of speed detract from the pleasure of reading.By incorporating these tips into your reading routine, you can gradually increase your reading speed while maintaining, or even improving, your comprehension. Remember, the key toeffective speed reading is practice and patience. Happy reading!。

Watchingmukbang can be a way to have someone to eat with. People can connect (联系) with others even though they are at home alone.However, mukbang has its bad sides. The way mukbangers eat food in some shows isn’t healthy. These bad eating habits can bring serious health problems. Worse still, some mukbangers prepare a lot of food but throw away much food without others knowing during the show or after the show. These mukbangers waste (浪费) a lot of food.Now, many people criticize such shows. Food waste is a serious problem around the world, and lots of people still don’t have enough food to eat. Our country does a lot of things to solve the problem and asks short-video platforms, such as TikTok and Kuaishou, to take action.21．If we watch mukbang videos, we may probably see ________.A．someone is telling stories B．someone is having some delicious food C．someone is cooking a meal D．someone is playing games 22．Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?A．Mukbang appeared about 20 years ago.B．Mukbang is just popular around South Korea.C．Very few people in South Korea eat on their own.D．Watching mukbang videos can make people feel they are eating with someone. 23．The problem of mukbang is that some mukbangers ________.A．don’t have enough food to eatB．show different eating habits to peopleC．disagree with the culture of eating togetherD．don’t eat all the food they prepare and throw much of it away24．What does the word “criticize” in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese?A．表扬B．报道C．批评D．期待25．The best title of this passage is ________.A．Bad Eating Habits B．Food Waste Around the World C．Eating on Camera D．The Culture of Eating in South KoreaFDo you love holidays but hate the increasing weight (体重) that follows?

Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them.Choose lean meat (瘦肉). Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables.If you have a sweet tooth, try mints (薄荷) and fruit. They don’t have fat content as cream and chocolate.Don’t let exercise take a break during the holidays.

They often invite friends over for a meal, a party, or just for a cup of coffee and conversation.Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their home:“Would you like to come over for dinner this Saturday night?”“Hey, we’re having a party on Friday. Can you come?”To reply to an invitation, either say thank you and accept, or say you're sorry, and give an excuse:“Thanks, I’d love to. What time would you like me to come?” or “Oh, sorry, I’ve tickets for a movie.”Sometimes, however, people use expressions that sound like invitations but which are not real invitations. For example:“Please come over for a drink sometime.”“Why not get together for a party sometime?”“Why don’t you come over and see us sometime soon?”They are really just polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don’t mention a specific （确定的）time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly. To reply to expressions like these, people just say “Sure, that would be great!” or “OK, yes, thanks.”So next time when you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully: Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?36．Why do Canadians and Americans often invite friends for meals at home? A．Because they can save time.B．Because they can spend less money. C．Because they enjoy entertaining at home.D．Because they have modern and beautiful house.37．Which of the following is a real invitation?A．“If you are free, let’s go for a dinner sometime.”B．“Please go to the cinema with me someday.”C．“Would you like to have a cup of tea with us some-time?”D．“I’ve two tickets here. Can you go to the movie with me?”38．If people say “Let’s get together for lunch some day”, you just say “_______”. A．That would be nice.B．How about this weekend?C．Oh, sorry. I’m very busy.D．That's great. I’ll be there on time.39．People use “an unreal invitation” in order to show that _______.A．they’re trying to be friendly B．they’re trying to be helpful C．they’re trying to make friends with others D．they haven’t got ready for a party yet 40．The passage is mainly about _______.A．entertainment at home B．real invitations or not C．expressions of starting a conversation D．ways of ending a conversation参考答案：1．A2．D3．B4．B5．A6．B7．B8．D9．A10．C11．D12．D13．C14．B15．D16．D17．A18．C19．B20．B21．B22．D23．D24．C25．C26．B27．A28．A29．C30．B31．D32．B33．C34．C35．A36．C37．D38．A39．A40．B。

英语八级快速阅读理解试题及答案解析
英语八级快速阅读理解试题及答案解析TEXT CIn Barcelona the Catalonians call them castells, but these aren't stereotypical castles in Spain. These castles are made up of human beings, not stone. The people who perform this agile feat of acrobatics are called castellers, and to see their towers take shape is to observe a marvel of human cooperation.First the castellers form what looks like a gigantic rugby scrummage. They are the foundation blocks of the castle. Behind them, other people press together, forming outward-radiating ramparts of inward-pushing muscle: flying buttresses for the castle. Then sturdy but lighter castellers scramble over the backs of those at the bottom and stand, barefoot, on their shoulders—then still others, each time adding a higher "story".These human towers can rise higher than small apartment buildings: nine “stories”, 35 feet into the air. Then, just When it seems this tower of humanity can't defy gravity any longer, a little kid emerges from the crowd and climbs straight up to the top. Arms extended, the child grins while waving to the cheering crowd far below.Dressed in their traditional costumes, the castellers seem to epitomize an easier time, before Barcelona became a world metropolis arid the Mediterranean's most dynamic city. But when you observe-them tip close, in their street clothes, at practice, you see there's nothing easy about what the castellers do - and that they are not merely reenacting an ancient ritual.None of the castellers can-give a logical answer as to why they love doing this. But Victor Luna, 16, touches me on the shoulder and says in English: "We do it because it's beautiful. We do it because we are Catalan."Barcelona’s mother tongue is Catalan, and to understand Barcelona, you must understand two words of Catalan: seny and rauxa. Seny pretty much translates as common sense, or the ability to make money, arrange things, and get things done. Rauxa is reminiscent of our words “raucous” and “ruckus”.What makes the castellers revealing of the city is that they embody rauxa and seny. The idea of a human castle is rauxa—it defies common sense—but to watch one going up is to see seny in action. Success is based on everyone working together to achieve a shared goal.The success of Carlos Tusquets' bank, Fibanc, shows seny at work in everyday life. The bank started as a family concern and now employs hundreds. Tusquets said it exemplifies how the economy in Barcelona is different.Entrepreneurial seny demonstrates why Barcelona and Catalonia—the ancient region of which Barcelona is the capital—are distinct from the rest of Spain yet essential to Spain's emergence, after centuries of repression, as a prosperous, democratic European country. Catalonia, with Barcelona as its dynamo, has turned into an economic powerhouse. Making up 6 percent of Spain’s territory, with a sixth of its people, it accounts for nearly a quarter of Spain's production—everything from textiles to computers—even though the rest of Spain has been enjoying its own economic miracle.Hand in hand with seny goes rauxa, and there's no better place to see rauxa in action than on the Ramblas, the venerable, tree-shaded boulevard that, in gentle stages, leads you from the centre of Barcelona down to the port. There are two narrow lanes each way for cars and motorbikes, but it’s the wide centre walkway that makes the Ramblas a front-row seat for Barcelona's longest running theatrical event. Plastic armchairs are set out on the sidewalk. Sit in one of them, and an attendantwill come and charge you a small fee. Performance artists throng the Ramblas—stilt walkers, witches caked in charcoal dust, Elvis impersonators. But the real stars are the old women and happily playing children, millionaires on motorbikes, and pimps and women who, upon closer inspection, prove not to be.Aficionados (Fans) of Barcelona love to compare notes: “Last night there was a man standing on the balcony of his hotel room,” Mariana Bertagnolli, an Italian photographer, told me. "The balcony was on the second floor. He was naked, and he was talking into a cell phone."There you have it, Barcelona's essence. The man is naked (rauxa), but he is talking into a cell phone (seny).21. From the description in the passage, we learn thatA. all Catalonians can perform castells.B. castells require performers to stand on each other.C. people perform castells in different formations.D. in castells people have to push and pull each other.22. According to the passage, the4mplication of the performance is thatA. the Catalonians are insensible and noisy people.B. the Catalonians show more sense than is expected.C. the Catalonians display paradoxical characteristics.D. the Catalonians think highly of team work.23. The passage cites the following examples EXCEPT __________ to show seny at work.A. development of a bankB. dynamic role in economyC. contribution to national economyD. comparison with other regions24. In the last but two paragraph, the Ramblas is described as “a front-row seat for Barcelona’s longest running theatrical event”. Wha t does it mean?A. On the Ramblas people can see a greater variety of performances.B. The Ramblas provides many front seats for the performances.C. The Ramblas is preferred as an important venue for the events.D. Theatrical performers like to perform on the Ramblas.25. What is the main impression of the scenes on the Ramblas?A. It is bizarre and Outlandish.B. It is of average quality.C. It is conventional and quiet.D. It is of professional standard.TEXT DThe law firm Patrick worked for before he died filed for bankruptcy protection a year after his funeral. After his death, the firm's letterhead properly included him: Patrick S. Lanigan, 1954-1992. He was listed up in the right-hand corner, just above the paralegals. Then the rumors got started and wouldn't stop. Before long, everyone believed he had taken the money and disappeared. After three months, no one on the Gulf Coast believed that he was dead. His name came off the letterhead as the debts piled up.The remaining partners in the law firm were still together, attached unwillingly at the hip by the bondage of mortgages and the bank notes, back when they were rolling and on the verge of serious wealth. They had been joint defendants in several unwinnable lawsuits; thus the bankruptcy. Since Patrick's departure, they had tried every possible way to divorce one another, but nothing would work. Two were raging alcoholics who drank at the office behind locked doors, but nevertogether. The other two were in recovery, still teetering on the brink of sobriety.He took their money. Their millions. Money they had already spent long before it arrived, as only lawyers can do. Money for their richly renovated office building in downtown Biloxi. Money for new homes, yachts, condos in the Caribbean. The money was on the way, approved, the papers signed, orders entered; they could see it, almost touch it when their dead partner—Patrick—snatched it at the last possible second.He was dead. They buried him on February 11, 1992. They had consoled the widow and put his rotten name on their handsome letterhead. Yet six weeks later, he somehow stole their money. They had brawled over who was to blame. Charles Bogan, the firm's senior partner and its iron hand, had insisted the money be wired from its source into a new account offshore, and this made sense after some discussion. It was ninety million bucks, a third of which the firm would keep, and it would be impossible to hide that kind of money in Biloxi, population fifty thousand. Someone at the bank would talk. Soon everyone would know. All four vowed secrecy, even as they made plans to display as much of their new wealth as possible. There had even been talk of a firm jet, a six-seater.So Bogan took his share of the blame. At forty-nine, he was the oldest of the four, and, at the moment, the most stable. He was also responsible for hiring Patrick nine years earlier, and for this he had received no small amount of grief.Doug Vitrano, the litigator, had made the fateful decision to recommend Patrick as the fifth partner.

Although gifts are alwayswelcome, it is not necessary to exchange gifts at any time.They exchange gifts only among good friends.Usually when you are invited to dinner, you needn't bring a gift except on special occasions, for example, when you are going to be a weekend guest (宾客). If you wish to bring something, the gifts should always be small, simple and cheap. You might bring some sweets or some small toys for the children, or a book, some flowers, a bottle of wine, etc for the host (主人). If you want to make your gifts special, you can bring some Chinese tea, Chinese paintings, Chinese papercuts (剪纸) or other things like that, or even you can cook Chinese dish and bring it with you.Westerners prefer to open a gift at once, and admire (赞美) it. They would thank you and make some comment (谈论) about the gift's beauty so that you know they like your gift verymuch.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

"What does the word "home" mean to you? How do you say the word in French, in Chinese, in your language? Although people usually know what the word means, it sometimes has no exact translation. It's not surprising, because the idea of home is different from country to country, and from person to person. A home is more than a roof and four walls. It's the cooking, eating, talking, playing and sleeping that go on inside. And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.Homes look different in different countries. They also have different things inside. For example, in cold northern Europe, there's a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it. In the south，where the sun shines a lot and it's more important to keep the heat out，there are small windows and cool stone floors.We asked some people about their homes.How often do people move house in your country?"In my country many people don't stay in one place for a very long time. They often move every ten years or so. " —Cherry, Boston, USAWhat are features(特征) of homes in your country?"In Britain, even in town, there's always a garden. We have separate bedrooms and living rooms. But we don't often have balconies(阳台).The weather isn't warm enough!" —Pat, Exeter, England( )6. The word "home" sometimes has no exact translation because.A. people can't find this word in the dictionaryB. no one knows what it isC. it has different meanings in different countriesD. people can't understand each other very well( )7. According to the passage, at home, you can do everything EXCEPT.A. making friendsB. cooking and eatingC. playing and talkingD. sleeping and relaxing( )8. Why is it important to keep the heat out of the houses in southern Europe?A. Because they want to breathe fresh air outside.B. Because there's a fire in the living room.C. Because they wear heavy clothes all day long.D. Because the sun there shines a lot.( )9. From the second paragraph, what kind of homes people have depends on.A. whether they are rich or notB. the climate they haveC. how old they areD. whether they live in the city or countryside( )10. Which of the following is TRUE?A. People in Britain seldom have balconies because it's so hot outside.B. Some Americans move house several times during their lifetime.C. Homes look the same in different countries.D. Houses in northern Europe have big windows and cool stone floors.CMy name is Sam. I joined a club called “passing help” last month. Now let me tell you why I joined it.One evening this May, on my way home my old car broken down. It was 25 miles from my home. I wanted to get a ride, but there was no car. It was also hard to take a taxi. I decided to take a bus home. I went to a bus stop nearby.After a while, a bus came, but it did not go to my town. The bus driver was a young woman. She was kind and she told me which bus I should take. I waited there for about thirty minutes, but no bus came. At last a car came to me and a woman came out of the car. She was just the bus driver.When I reached the bus station, I found that the bus to your town couldn't come, so I returned here. I just can't leave you here,” she said, “Get in my car and I will take you back to your home.”“It is a long way.” I said.“Come on, sir,” she said, “Let’s go.”On the way she told me a story. A few days ago, there wasn't gas (汽油）in her car. An old man drove her up to a gas station and then back to her car.When we got to my home, I wanted to give her some money to thank her, but she didn't accept it. “I only want to help others and do something nice for somebody. Pass it along.” she said.( )11. What happened to Sam one evening this May?A. He lost his way.B. His car broken down.C. He was hurt in an accident.D. He couldn't reach the gas station.( )12. Sam didn’t think of going home __________ that evening.A. by trainB. by busC. by carD. by taxi( )13. From the passage, we know that the young woman was _________.A. a club boss.B. a taxi driverC. a bus driver.D. a gas station worker. ( )14.

A broken car.DFor some people, music is no fun at all.About 4% of the population is what scientists call “amusic”.People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes.Amusic people often can’t tell the differences between two so ngs.As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic.Many amuics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other．Life can be hard for amusics．In fact, most people can’t understand what it feels like to be amusic．Just going to a restaurant or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful.That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music.However, this can result in social loneliness.“I used to hate parties,”says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic．By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition. Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different for those of people who can enjoy music.The difference is complex, and it is not connected with poor hearing.Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well.They also have no problems understanding common speech.Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed(诊断).For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem music．Now she knows that she is not alone.That makes it easier for her to explain.“When people invite me to a concert, I just say ”No, thanks.I’m amusic.’” says Margret.( )16. Amusics are the people who _________.A.like musicB.have poor listeningC.don’t like musicD.are born unable to enjoy music( )17. Life is hard for amusics mainly because _________.A.music seems noise for them.B.people don’t understand amusicsC.amusics try to stay at places full of musicD.amusics hate parties, restaurants or shopping center.( )18. Scientists identify amusics by _________.A.studying different kinds of musicB.going to parties regularlyC.studying amusic peopleparing music to colors( )19. What causes amusics different from most people according to scientists?A.Their brains.B.Their poor hearing.C.Their lack of colors.D.Their problems with speech.( )20. What is the main idea of the passage?A.Amusics’ strange behaviors.B.Musical ability.C.Some people’s inability to enjoy music.D.Identification and treatment of amusic.EEvery year on my birthday since I was 11, a white gardenia (栀子花) was sent to my house. No card ever came with it. Calls to the flower shop were not helpful at all. After some time I stopped trying to find out the sender’s name and was just pleased with the beautiful flower, in soft pink paper.I couldn’t st op imagining who the giver might be. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming(幻想)about the sender. My mother encouraged these daydreams. She’d ask me if I had been especially kind to someone. Perhaps it was one of my classmates Perhaps it was the old man who I once helped. As a girl, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy that I had met.A month before my high school graduation(毕业), my father died. I was so sad that I became completely uninterested in my coming graduation dance, and I did n’t care whether I had a new dress or not. My mother, in her own sadness, would not let me miss (过) any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved.

Don’t look down upon the small things.GWhen the weather is hot, you go to a lake or an ocean. When you are near a lake or an ocean, you feel cool. Why? The sun makes the earth hot, but it can not make the water hot. Though the air over the earth becomes hot, the air over the water stays cool. The hot air over the earth goes up, then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of the hot air. When you are near a lake or an ocean, you feel the cool air when it moves in. You feel the wind and the wind makes you cool.Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask “Why is the ocean full of salt？” scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cool, it cracks, and rain falls into the cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask “What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get saltier every year. “ scientists are not sure about the answer to the question.We know a lot about our world. But there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious.( ) 31. In the first paragraph, the underlined word “it” refers to.A. The hot air over the waterB. The cool air over the earthC. The hot air over the earthD. The cool air over the water( ) 32. Now scientists know.A. What makes people feel cool near a lake or an ocean in summer.B. Everything about the ocean.C. What happens to the salt in the ocean.D. Why the ocean does not get more saltier.( ) 33. A rock crack when.A. rain fallsB. it gets very hotC. it gets very coldD. Both B and C ( ) 34. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?A.The reason why people feel cool when they are near a lake or an ocean in hot weather.B. The reason why the ocean doesn’t get saltier every year.C. The reason why the water in the ocean is salty.D. The reason why rocks crack.( ) 35. The main idea of this passage is that .A. people feel cool when they are near a lake or an ocean.B. scientists can explain many things, but not everything.C. scientists can explain everything about the ocean.D. the salt in the ocean comes from rocks.人教新目标八年级（下）Unit 6—阅读专练参考答案第一节短文理解。
