最新八年级英语上册阅读理解练习题（word）一、八年级英语上册阅读理解专项练习（含答案解析）1．阅读理解What's that in the sky? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Hello Kitty.That's how Lauren Rojas, 12, from the US thought of her science project. She sent her Hello Kitty doll into the sky early this month. She wanted to find out how altitude（高度）changed air pressure（气压） and temperature, according to New York Daily News.Rojas put the doll and a small computer into a rocket model, and then sent it up with a weather balloon（气球）. The computer recorded the height, air pressure and temperature. Rojas also put in a video camera to record the trip."It took about two or three weeks to put it all together," said Rojas. "I think people will think it （the video） is really cool."The balloon got to 28.5km above the Earth. At that height, the doll could see the blue curves （曲线） of our planet. The air was very thin up there, and soon the balloon broke up （爆炸）. The doll fell from the sky and at last it ended up in a tree. It was 76km from the place where it had started its journey.（1）Rojas do her science project___________.A. early this morningB. early this monthC. last weekD. two or three weeks ago （2）Rojas used __________ to find out how high the doll was.A.

2．阅读理解The sun is always shining（照射）. But it can only shine on one side（一边） of the earth （地球） at one time. When the sun is shining on one side of the earth, it is night on the other side.At night, you can see the stars. The stars are in the sky（天空） all day.

But some of them are even bigger than the sun. They look small because they are so far away from you. Big things look much smaller when they are far away. The sun is closer to the earth than other stars, so it looks bigger.（1）When it is night, the sun ____________.A. doesn't shineB. shines for a short timeC. disappears （消失）D. shines on the other side of the earth（2）We can't see the stars in the sky at daytime because ____________.A. there are no stars thereB. the stars are much smaller than the sunC. the bright light from the sun makes them not seen（被看见）D. the stars come out only at night（3）The stars look small because ____________.A. they are far awayB. they are smallC. they have no lightD. they are in the sky【答案】（1）D（2）C（3）A【解析】【分析】文章大意：本文主要介绍白天和黑夜的形成和只有夜晚才能看见星星及它们看上去那么小的原因。

3．阅读理解Do you know the whales in the sea? There are many relatives（亲属） in the whale family and they always live together with whales.Few people know dolphins（海豚） are part of the whale family. Dolphins are not fish. They are mammals（哺乳动物）. They breathe air, and they have babies and feed them with milk. Dolphins are famous for their wonderful shows. They can jump high out of the water and show turns in the air. These jumps give the dolphins time to breathe.Porpoises（鼠海豚）are also in the whale family and are quite like dolphins. But they are different in the size and shape of the mouth. The dolphin's mouth is long and thin, but the porpoise's is short and thick. Dolphins are also more talkative than porpoises. Dolphins make sounds to talk with each other under water. But porpoises do not do this. Both of them are smart and friendly to humans.Not all the members of the whale family are friendly. Big whales are much easier to be angry than smaller dolphins or porpoises. An angry whale can be dangerous. Perhaps this helped to create the story of Moby Dick that sank （使下沉） a ship and made all the people on it die in the sea.（1）According to the passage, the porpoise .A. is a kind of mouseB. is friendly to humansC. is much bigger than the dolphinD. has a longer nose than the dolphin（2）What can we learn from the passage?A. Dolphins and porpoises have great differences in their habits.B. Whale families often like swimming and living in groups.C. Porpoises make sounds to communicate with one another under water.D. Dolphins jump high out of the water to have fun.（3）The underlined part "Moby Dick" in the last paragraph is probably .A. a shipB. a dolphinC. a porpoiseD. a whale（4）Which is the best title for the passage?A. Food that Whales EatB. Whales' Eating HabitsC. Members of the Whale FamilyD. Differences Between Dolphins and Porpoises【答案】（1）B（2）B（3）D（4）C【解析】【分析】本文介绍了鲸类的生活习性。
