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."

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。

When I was younger, bedtime was always my favorite part of the day. Wearing soft pajamas （睡衣裤） and with Lan, my stuffed monkey, in my arms, I felt no pressure at all.
I named Lan after my uncle when I compared Lan's long arms and legs to his. One night I ran up to Uncle Lan at a family party and told him I had named my monkey after him. His eyebrows wrinkled （起皱纹）in confusion, and then a chuckle （哈哈大笑）escaped from his lips. I guess he didn't understand how important it was to me.
Even if Uncle Lan didn't think my monkey was special, I certainly did. I dressed him in a white baby nightgown （睡衣）. My mother thought that Lan was the best-dressed stuffed animal in the world. Yes, he was certainly a fashionable creature. The strong cologne （科隆香水） I used on him years ago makes him still smell "pretty".
For a long time, Lan went everywhere with me. He was my best friend, and I told him everything. But when I turned twelve, I realized I was too old for stuffed animals. I thought people would think I was babyish, so I put him in the cupboard with the rest of my teddy bears and dolls. I begged him to understand why I was doing this, but at the same time I longed to talk to him again.
It took me several years to realize that it was OK to miss Lan. I know now that maturity （成熟） doesn't only mean growing up and taking on more responsibility （责任）. It also means holding on to your childhood and acting young sometimes.
Lan has been with me since I was six years old. Holding him in my arms connects me with my past and my present as I continue growing and understanding myself.
（1）Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Bedtime used to be the writer's favorite part of the day because of the stuffed monkey.
B. Uncle Lan liked the stuffed monkey as much as the writer.
C. The writer used to carry the monkey with her wherever she went.
D. Years later the writer realized that it was not wrong to miss Monkey Lan.
（2）The writer loved Monkey Lan deeply because ________.
A. he could understand her
B. he was a fashionable monkey
C. he could talk with her
D. he was her most honest listener
（3）We can learn from the passage that the writer believes ________.
A. keeping stuffed animals is babyish
B. maturity doesn't mean growing up and taking on more responsibility
C. one should keep to his childhood and act young sometimes even when he has grown up
D. human beings should be kind to animals
【答案】（1）B
（2）D
（3）C
【解析】【分析】文章大意：文章讲述了自从六岁一直陪伴自己的布袋猴Lan，它是她忠实的倾听者，她走到哪里把它带到哪里，直到12岁，把它放进橱柜里，现在我才意思到成熟不仅是长大和承担更多的责任，而且是有时候坚持童年和装嫩。

（1）细节理解题。

根据 When I was younger, bedtime was always my favorite part of the day.可知A是对的，根据For a long time, Lan went everywhere with me. 可知C正确，根据It took me several years to realize that it was OK to miss Lan. 可知D正确，根据 I guess he didn't understand how important it was to me. 可知Uncle Lan不理解布袋猴对我多么重要，故选B。

（2）细节理解题。

根据 He was my best friend, and I told him everything. 可知作者那么爱布袋猴Lan因为他是她最好的朋友，倾听她的一切，也就是它是她的最忠实的倾听者，故选D。

（3）细节理解题。

根据I know now that maturity （成熟）doesn't only mean growing up and taking on more responsibility （责任）. It also means holding on to your childhood and acting young sometimes. 可知成熟不只意味着长大和承担更多的责任。

它也意味着有时候坚持你的童年和装嫩。

故选C。

Scientists are working on helpful ways to do with space junk.

One of the most detailed（详细的） descriptions Of a UEO was given by nine-year-old Gaynor in Sunderland in July 1976.
Gaynor lived in Oakenholt, a village in North Wales. On her way home from school, she saw a silver（银色的） object shaped like a saucer（茶碟） in a field not far from her home.
The strange craft（飞行物） was about 30 feet long and 9 feet high. It had yellow windows along the side and on the top there was a light flashing in a kind of box.
