八年级英语上册阅读理解汇编（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
Many of you have watched a Superman cartoon or movie. But did you know he first appeared in comics（连环漫画）? Do you want to learn more about popular comic books around the world? Take a look!
Do you find reading boring? Have a read of some comic books. You will learn to love their colorful pictures and simple language.
Comic books usually tell stories through cartoons. The US and Japan have some great comic books. But they are not the same.
Their names are different. People say "comic books" in the US but "manga" in Japan.
American comics are often about superheroes—characters like Superman and Spider Man. So action is a major part of American comics. But Japanese manga like to tell stories of ordinary people. Luffy in One Piece is such an example.
American comics make people excited with super powers, while Japanese manga comfort（安慰） people with moving stories. Natsume's Book of Friends is about a teenage boy. He can see spirits（精灵）. He is confused（困惑的） at first but later he makes friends with spirits.
If you are not interested in these two kinds, why not try some from China? Xia Da, 32, is a great comic book artist from China. Some of her comics are about school life. Others show the beauty of Chinese culture.

2．根据材料内容，选择正确答案。

C
Ted, my little brother, is in Grade One. Last Friday he came back from school with a letter. The letter was from his teacher. “I got a red flower today. Could you please sign this note?” he said to mum. The note showed that he had been talking in class.
Ted hardly gets top scores in his school work. The best he gets is “OK”, but he often gets “You can do better than this.” Mum knows what it means. She tells me “You can do better than this” means “Extremely bad” in China.
In the USA, teachers never say anything too bad about their students, even if the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough. The worst they might say is “Please be nicer tomorrow”. Many parents are satisfied with a B-grade for each subject.
But things in Chinese schools are quite different. Parents have high expectations for their children. I sometimes felt that my second-grade cousin spend more time on homework than I did when I was 6th grade in the US! Yet his parents and teachers didn't think he worked hard enough. Is it too strict in China? Or is it not strict enough in the USA? Maybe both are true.
（1）Why did Ted come home with a letter last Friday?
A. Because the teacher wanted to visit his mother.
B. Because he did something wrong.
C. Because the teacher was happy with his progress.
D. Because the teacher thought he was too lazy.
（2）If a student i n the USA gets “OK” in his schoolwork, it means ________.
A. he gets top scores
B. he gets medium scores
C. he gets extremely bad scores
D. he gets the worst scores
（3）The underlined word s “high expectations” in this passage means “________”.
A. 很高的待遇
B. 很多的自由
C. 很高的期望
D. 很多的关爱
（4）The writer mainly wants to tell us ________.
A. the differences between Chinese education and American education
B. Chinese students are better than American students
C. American parents are not strict enough with their children
D. what's the best way to educate child
【答案】（1）B
（2）B
（3）C
（4）A
【解析】【分析】本文通过自己的感受谈论中国教育与美国教育的不同。

美国的教育依靠学生的自觉性与自主性。

中国的家长对孩子的要求严格，并且学校给学生的作业量上也是较大的。

⑴推理判断。

根据第一段最后一句he had been talking in class结合上文得知，他在学校做了错事，那就是在课堂乱说话。

故选B
⑵推理判断。

问题：如果一名美国的学生在学校评语中得到了一个“OK”，它的意思是什么？分析原句：Ted hardly gets top scores in his school work. The best he gets is "OK".句意：泰德几乎得不了很高的成绩在他的学校学习。

他得到最好的评语是“OK”。

联系下文，因为他的表现不好，所以他经常得到的是“你能做的比这次好。

”因此体现当学生在学校成绩中等的时候，评语为OK.故选Ｂ。

⑶词义猜测。

句意：但是，事情在中国的学校有很大的不同。

父母对孩子有很高的期望。

同时结合实际情况，中国的父母对孩子的期望很高。

因此划线部分为很高有期望。

故选C ⑷作者意图。

根据最后一句Is it too strict in China? Or is it not strict enough in the USA? Maybe both are true.句意：中国的教育太严吗？还是美国的教育不严？可能两者都是真的。

从中心句中得出结论，重点在介绍中国与美国的教育上有所不同。

故选A
【点评】议论文阅读首先要弄清楚作者要证明什么观点，然后用什么样的论据进行怎样的分析，最后得出了什么样的结论，理清了线索，理解文章就不是问题。

看题时注意确定关键词，然后在文章中定位，找到与选项一致的内容，就可以轻松的确定答案。

She brought us to the front of the class and asked him to stand on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the middle of her desk was a large, round ball. I could clearly see that it was black. She asked the boy what color the ball was. "White," he answered.
I couldn't believe he said the ball was white, when it was obviously（明显地）black! Another argument started between us, this time about the color of the ball.
The teacher told us to change places and then asked me what color the ball was. I answered:
"White."
It was a ball with two differently colored sides, and from his side it was white. Only from my side it was black.

Finishing the 100- meter backstroke with 58. 95 seconds, Fu thought it was 59 seconds, and she was quite surprised with the result. This was the first moment when she impressed Chinese audience（观众）with her surprising look and body language in front of the camera.

8．阅读理解
Do you have true friends? Do you want to know better between you and your friends? There are three different kinds of friends: "pest friends", "guest friends", and "best friends".
The first kind of friend is simply acquaintances （熟人）, and all you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friend at school, at work, or on the bus, but you don't miss them when they're not around. When this kind of friend does something bad, you don't tell them. That is why they are called "pest friends".
The second kind of friend could also be called "social partners". They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends. You know their names, a little of what they like or dislike, and a little of their family histories; you usually have a few things in common, but you don't talk about anything deep（深）, such as your wishes or fears（害怕）, and they don't open up to you how they really feel.
The last kind of friend, the "best friend", is the one you know the deepest. You're like family, and know everything about each other. You have no problem staying at each other's houses, and you share your deepest feelings and thoughts. They will correct you when you're wrong, and though they may not be perfect（完美的）, they at least will always care about you, and never
do anything on purpose（故意地）to hurt you.
We all have our pest, guest, and best friends. We should value（重视）all friendships and remember, all best friends start out as just acquaintances.

If you put your history notes under your pillow and sleep on them the night before an exam, will you do any better in the exam? Most of us have hoped this might help. However, knowledge can't go through the pillow into your brain. But that doesn't mean you can't learn while you are asleep.
Scientists aren't exactly sure how it works, but they have discovered that the brain can learn things during sleeping hours.
In one experiment, researchers gave German speakers some Dutch words to learn. Then, they divide them into three groups. The researchers played the Dutch words for people in Group 1 while they were asleep, without telling these German speakers what they were doing. The sound was low. So it didn't wake them up, and only the newly introduced words were used.
Another group listened to the same words while they were awake. The researchers found the people in Group 1 were better able to identify and translate the words later. This was true only for the words that were played while they slept. The third group listened to words when they walked. The walkers didn't have the same success remembering the words as the sleeping group. The researchers later found that people had more slow wave（慢波的） brain activity all over the night. They said that more slow waves made people have a better memory for the new words.
（1）When did the researchers play foreign words for people in Group 1 in the experiment?
A. Before they went for a walk.
B. Before they went to bed.
C. When they were asleep.
D. When they were having dinner.
（2）What does the underlined word "identify" mean in Chinese?
A. 提高
B. 辨认出
C. 隐藏
D. 逃避（3）The last two paragraphs tell us the experiment's
A. results
B. reasons
C. influence
D. purpose
（4）Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Scientists think people can't learn during sleeping hours.
B. German speakers enjoy learning Dutch words.
C. Slow-wave brain activity can help people have a good sleep.
D. People in Group 3 didn't remember the words as well as those in Group 1.
（5）Where is the passage most probably from?
A. A history textbook.
B. A science magazine.
C. A travel newspaper.
D. A modern novel.
【答案】（1）C
（2）B
（3）A
（4）D
（5）B

Tibetan antelopes are medium-sized animals. They mainly feed on grass. They are usually found in groups of about 20. The number of them is dropping year by year. There are less than 75,000 Tibetan antelopes left in the world, down from a million 50 years ago.
Golden Monkeys
Golden monkeys are mainly found in Sichuan, Gansu, Shanxi provinces and Shengnongjia mountainous area of Hubei Province. They move around in the daytime, usually in groups of as many as 100 to 200 heads, or 20 to 30 heads. They feed on fruits and young leaves of bamboos. But trees and bamboos are disappearing, so golden monkeys have less and less to eat. Elephants
Elephants are very big and strong. They are bigger than any other animals on land. They are grey and have long trunks and tusks. They have poor eyesight, but very good hearing and smell. They can lift heavy things. Elephants are very friendly towards each other and towards their neighbours. Now, there are very few elephants in the world. The number of them is becoming smaller and smaller because their living areas are used for farming. Also, people hunt them for their tusks.
Wolves
Wolves are not very big. They have grey fur. Wolves have very good eyesight, hearing and smell. They eat animals, insects and snails. They are friendly to each other and never attack people. They do not kill for fun. Wolves are in danger, too. They are losing their living areas because people cut down forests. Soon they will have no home or food.
