人教版八年级下册英语第一单元阅读理解
人教版八年级下册英语第一单元阅读理解Unit 1 FriendshipPart One: Pre-readingBefore we dive into the reading comprehension exercises in this unit, let's take a moment to reflect on the importance of friendship in our lives. Friends play a significant role in our emotional well-being, providing support, companionship, and laughter in both good times and bad. In fact, studies have shown that having strong social connections can improve our physical health and overall happiness.Think about your own circle of friends. What qualities do you value in a friend? Is it loyalty, trustworthiness, a sense of humor, or a willingness to listen? Each of us may have a different answer, but one thing is clear: true friendships are built on mutual respect, communication, and shared experiences.Part Two: Reading ComprehensionNow, let's explore some stories and articles centered around the theme of friendship. As you read each passage, pay attention to the relationships between the characters, the challenges they face, and the ways in which they support each other.1. The BFF ChallengeIn this story, two best friends, Lily and Sarah, decide to take on a challenge together - running a marathon. Despite facing obstacles along the way, including injuries and doubts about their abilities, the girls support each other and ultimately cross the finish line hand in hand. This story highlights the power of friendship in overcoming adversity and achieving shared goals.2. The Science of FriendshipIn this informative article, we learn about the psychological and physiological benefits of friendships. Research shows that close friendships can reduce stress, enhance self-esteem, and even increase lifespan. By nurturing our relationships with friends, we not only improve our mental and emotionalwell-being but also boost our physical health.3. A Friend in NeedIn this heartwarming tale, a young boy named Jack befriends a new student at school who is struggling to fit in. Despite facing peer pressure to ignore the new student, Jack stands by his side and helps him navigate the social challenges of middle school. Through his kindness and empathy, Jack demonstrates the truemeaning of friendship - being there for someone when they need it most.Part Three: Discussion QuestionsAfter reading these passages, consider the following questions to deepen your understanding of friendship:1. How do the stories and articles in this unit illustrate the importance of communication in friendships?2. What qualities do you think are essential for maintaining a strong and lasting friendship?3. Have you ever faced a situation where a friend helped you through a difficult time? How did their support impact your life?4. In what ways can we be better friends to those around us, both in times of need and in times of joy?As you reflect on these questions, remember that friendships are a vital and enriching part of our lives. By nurturing and cherishing these relationships, we can create lasting bonds that bring joy, comfort, and support to our journey through life.Unit 1 Friendship – Reading Comprehension1. The BFF ChallengeLily and Sarah were inseparable best friends. They did everything together, from sharing secrets to dreaming about their future adventures. One day, Sarah came up with an idea that would change their lives forever - running a marathon.At first, Lily was hesitant. "I'm not sure I can do it," she admitted, looking down at her sneakers nervously. Sarah, with her trademark determination, replied, "We can do anything if we do it together. Let's take on this challenge as BFFs!"And so, the girls began their rigorous training regimen. They ran miles each day, pushing themselves to their limit and encouraging each other every step of the way. But as the race drew nearer, disaster struck - Lily sprained her ankle during a practice run."I'm sorry, Sarah," Lily said tearfully, afraid she would let her friend down. But Sarah simply smiled and replied, "We're in this together, remember? We'll find a way to make it work."On the day of the marathon, Lily and Sarah lined up at the starting line, their hearts pounding in unison. Together, they ran mile after mile, overcoming fatigue, doubts, and setbacks. And when they finally reached the finish line, they did it hand in hand, their smiles radiant with pride and accomplishment.2. The Science of FriendshipDid you know that having close friends can actually make you healthier? It's true! Studies have shown that strong social connections can boost our immune system, lower our risk of depression, and even help us live longer.When we spend time with friends, our bodies release hormones like oxytocin and endorphins, which reduce stress and increase feelings of happiness. In fact, laughing with friends has been shown to have a similar effect on our bodies as exercising!But it's not just our physical health that benefits from friendships. Emotional support from friends can help us navigate life's challenges, cope with stress, and build resilience in the face of adversity. By surrounding ourselves with positive and supportive people, we create a network of care and love that sustains us through life's ups and downs.So next time you're feeling down or stressed out, reach out to a friend. Whether it's a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear, or a good laugh, the power of friendship can work wonders for your mind, body, and soul.3. A Friend in NeedWhen a new student named Ben arrived at Jack's school, he immediately stood out from the crowd. Shy and awkward, with glasses that were too big for his face, Ben struggled to make friends and fit in with his classmates.Despite the whispers and stares from his peers, Jack felt a pang of empathy for Ben. He remembered what it was like to be the new kid in school, trying to find his place in an unfamiliar environment. So, he decided to reach out to Ben and offer him a friendly smile and a helping hand.As weeks passed, Jack and Ben became unlikely friends. They shared jokes, studied together, and even worked on a science project as partners. And when a group of bullies teased Ben during lunch one day, Jack stood up for his friend and told them to back off.From that day on, Ben was no longer alone. With Jack by his side, he found the courage to be himself, express his ideas, and make new friends. And Jack, in turn, discovered the true meaning of friendship - standing up for someone in need, no matter the cost.ConclusionFriendship is a precious gift that enriches our lives in countless ways. Through the stories and articles in this unit, we have explored the power of friendship to overcome challenges, improve our health, and bring joy to our hearts. May we all cherish and nurture the friendships in our lives, for they are the true treasures that light our way on this journey called life.。

It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance (救护车). It is exactly the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."If we carry our burdens (负担) all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier."What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again."We have to put down the burden sometimes, so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on.So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down.

Take 200 boys, between the ages of 12 and 16, and find out their living environment. The predict their chances for the future.After doing some research, the students found that 90% of the boys would spend some time in jail (监狱). Twenty-five years later, another group of students was given the job: Go to test what the first group of students had predicted. They went back to the same place. These 200 boys had then become men. Some of them were still there, a few had died and some had moved away. The students found that only four of them had ever been sent tot jail.These men had lived in a place full of crime (犯罪, 罪行) for many years. Why did the have such a good record?

But after a little practice he found that he was becoming very skilled and soon he was making some of the finest tacks.Old Mr. Smith died and the son on account of the war lost all his goods. He had to leave home and was forced to live in another country. It so happened that in this village there were many shoemakers who were spending a lot of money buying tacks for their shoes and even at times when they paid high prices they were not always able to get what they wanted, because in that part of the country there was a high demand for soldiers’ shoes.Our young Mr. Smith, who was finding it difficult to earn his daily bread, remembered that once upon atime he had learned the art of making tacks and had the sudden idea of making a bargain with the shoemakers. He told them that he would make the tacks if they would help to get him settled in the workshop. The shoemakers were only too glad of the offer. And after a while, Mr. Smith found that he was soon making the finest tacks in the village.“How funny it seems,”he used to say, “even making tacks can make money.

The young man earned his living by his skills learnt when he was young.3. What can we learn from the story?A. Practice makes perfect.B. Skill makes life easy.C. A good beginning makes a good ending.D. Every man has his gift.答案：CDB5In the early days of human history, people survived by hunting wild animals, or gathering wild grains and plants for food. Then, some people learned to grow crops and raise animals for food. They were the first farmers.From the sixteenth century on, the word “farm” has meant agricultural land. But a much older meaning of the word “farm” is linked to economics. The word “farm” comes from the Latin word “firma”, which means an unchanging payment. Experts say the earliest meaning of the English word “farm” was a yearly payment made as a tax or rent.Farmers in early England did not own their land. They paid every year to use agricultural lands. In England, farmers used hawthorn trees along the edges of houses. They called this row of hawthorns a hedge. Hedging fields was how careful farmers marked and protected them. Soon, people began to use the word “hedging” to describ e steps that could be taken to protect against financial loss. Hedging is common among gamblers who make large bets. A gambler bets a lot of money on one team. But, to be on the safe side, he also places a smaller bet on the other team, to reduce a possible loss.You might say that someone is hedging his bet when he invests in several different kinds of business. One business may fail, but likely not all. Farmers know that it is necessary to make hay while the sun shines. Hay has to be cut and gathered when it is dry. So a wise farmer never postpones gathering his hay when the sun is shining. Rain may soon appear. A wise person copies the farmer. He works when conditions are right.1.We can know from the 3rd paragraph that farmers in early England _________.A. had land of their ownB. paid to use hawthorn trees every yearC. used hedging fieldsD. often suffered from financial loss2.Which of the following is wise?A. A mother tries to sleep as soon as her baby is quietB. Hay has to be cut and gathered before it is dryC. Put off gathering hay when the sun is shiningD. Gather hay as it is rainy3.If a boy is carefully listening to his teacher in class, he learns to _________.A. become a wise farmerB. hedge his betC. gather his hayD. make hay while the sun shines答案：CAD6My grandfather is eighty years old. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better."Families aren't what they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If the husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now parents are both busy working. No one has time to look after children at home.And the cars! No one walks anymore. More and more people drive. We used to walk five miles to school on school days, even in winter. But now we don't. And in school, children don't have to think anymore. In math class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide by using our heads. But now kids don't use their heads anymore. Instead, they use calculators.Most families have computers now. In the past we didn't have computers. We didn't even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now we don't often eat home-cooked food.And people talk less to each other than before. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think...Life used to be simple, but it isn't anymore."1. What does the grandfather think of the life now?A. It's as good as it used to beB. It's worse than it used to beC. It's better than it used to beD. It's the same as it used to be2. What does the underlined word "marriage" mean in Chinese?A. 生活B. 工作C. 婚姻D. 家庭3. What did the grandfather used to do?A. He used to use calculators in math classB. He used to drive to school in winterC. He used to go to school by bikeD. He used to walk five miles to school4. What changes have happened?① There are lights at home② People often eat home-cooked food now③ Lots of families have computers④ More and more people drive instead of walkingA. ①②④B. ②③④C. ①②③D. ①③④5. Which of the following is TURE?A. Life now is much simplerB. People have more time to talk with each other nowC. The grandfather only complains and pays no attention to the better life nowD. Lots of mothers still stay at home and look after their children.答案：BCCDC。

The exams were over and Sara wanted to invite her friends for a party and have fun."Sara, aren't you going to invite Ada?" her mother asked. Ada had been her best friend since childhood."Mother, you know I am now a member of Purple Girls Club and we have some rules about people we can be friends with." Sara answered in a low voice."Really? And what are the rules?" her mother asked in surprise."Well, only very pretty girls can be part of our group. And Ada is so...you know...dark.""I can't believe it." her mother said angrily.As Sara left the kitchen, her father called her from the living room. Sara went to her father and got nervous when she saw the exam report in his hands."Sara, what has happened to your grades? You have failed in math." her father said.Sara had no answer. The truth was that the activities of Purple Girls Club left her with very little time for studies."Sara, it says that you can take part in supplementary exams. If your grades don't improve then, I'll cancel your trip to Spain in the coming holiday."Sara went to her room and called Gina, the leader of Purple Girls Club."Gina, can you help me to complete my notes before the exams?"Gina just said, "Exams? Who cares about exams?"One by one, she called all her friends in the club but no one seemed to care or wanted to help her. Then Sara thought of Ada. She knew Ada would help her. She also knew Ada had been hurt by her, but Ada said, "If you need any help, just let me know. We can study together till your exams."Next Monday, as the two friends entered the school together, Gina called out, "Sara, you know our club rules. You can't be friends with those who do not belong to our club.""Gina, I have a new rule about friendship." Sara replied, "And I've decided to leave the club."（1）After Sara became a member of Purple Girls Club, she chose a friend according to a person's____________.A. gradesB. looksC. usual activitiesD. favorite colors（2）Sara became nervous after going to her father because____________.A. she didn't do well in her examsB. he didn't allow her to go to SpainC. she had to leave Purple Girls ClubD. he asked her to improve her grades（3）From the passage we know that Ada is ____________.A. Silly.B. Rude.C. Kind.D. Beautiful.（4）Why did Sara leave the club at last? （请用约30-50个词回答）【答案】（1）B（2）A（3）C（4）Because the club members and Sara have different rules about friendship. The members only make friends with very pretty people. Also, When Sara failed in the exam, no one in the club wanted to help her except Ada. What's more, the club members don’t care about study and exams.【解析】【分析】大意：文章主要介绍了Sara参加了一个紫色女子俱乐部，这个俱乐部只接受漂亮的女孩子，因此Sara不再跟Ada做朋友，但是俱乐部还使得Sara没时间学习且俱乐部里没有人愿意帮助Sara，最后她决定退出这个俱乐部的故事。

八年级英语下册阅读理解单元练习题(含答案)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One day, Susie was unhappy when she came home from school. "What's the matter, my dear?" asked her mother, drawing her to her side and smiling."All our class must hand in compositions tomorrow. We must write 12 lines at least. But I can never write one. I'll have to go to school without a composition, for I won't copy one from a book, or ask you or papa to write one for me.""That's right," said her mother. "You'll be happier with a poor composition, if it's your own, than with a fine one written by somebody else. But cheer up. Run into the garden and play. I'll call you in half an hour. Don't think about your composition now. Just have a good time."It seemed just a few minutes to Susie before she heard her mother calling her. She went into the house immediately — her hands full of sweet flowers, and her face red with exercise.Then her mother asked her to sit by the window with a nice piece of paper and a pencil, and write something about what she could see. "Never mind your composition; do this to please me, and we'll talk about that later."Although Susie thought her mother's request was strange, she knew she always had a good reason for everything she did. So she did as her mother requested.As she looked out, she first saw the western sky and some bright, sunset clouds. "Oh, mother, what a sunset!""Don't talk. Just write."The pencil began moving rapidly across the paper. She wrote about the sunset clouds, the look of the distant hills, the streets, the river, the garden with its flowers, and the birds flying past the window. She forgot all about the terrible composition!Just as she had reached the bottom of the page, her mother came in and said with a smile, "Well, Susie, how does that composition come on?""Composition! You told me not to think about it, and I've never thought of it once. I've had such a nice time writing about what I could see from the window."Mrs. Smith took the paper and read what Susie had written. She said, "There, Susie, that's a very nice composition, really.""A composition! Is that a composition?" Susie asked in surprise."Yes, my dear, and a very good one, too, if we find a title for it," replied her mother. Then she added, "I'm sure it will please your teacher, as it does me. You see, it's easy enough to write a composition if you have anything interesting to write about."（1）Susie was unhappy when she came home because _____.A. she was punished by her teacherB. she couldn't write a compositionC. she forgot to take her composition homeD. she didn't get on well with her classmates（2）From the story we can know Susie's mother _____.A. had never understood her daughterB. had never talked with Susie's teacherC. knew how to write a good compositionD. wrote the composition for her daughter（3）The title of Susie's composition might be _____.A.

The computer is a useful machine. It is the most important invention in many years. The oldest kind of computer is the abacus(算盘), used in China centuries ago, but the first large, modern computer was built in 1946. A computer then could do maths problems quite fast.
Today computers are used in many ways and can do many kinds of work. In a few years the computer may touch the lives of everyone, even people in faraway(遥远的)villages.
In the last few years, there have been great changes in computers. They are getting smaller and smaller, and computing(计算) faster and faster, Many scientists agree that computers can now do many things, but they cannot do everything. Who knows what the computers of tomorrow will be like? Will computers bring good things or bad things to people? The scientists of today will have to decide how to use the computers of tomorrow.
