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
Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print?
Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare. And because there weren't many books, few people learned to read.
Then printing was invented in China. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly.
Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players.
Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. So will books be replaced by computers one day? No, I don't think the Yao Ming posters on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a two-metre-high computer!

A. People could not read.
B. People could not write words on paper.
C. People could not find silk, cotton or bamboo.
D. People could only produce books one at a time by hand.
（4）What happened after books became cheaper?

3．阅读理解
When you communicate with others, you express your thoughts and feelings not only through the words you choose, but also through your body language.
To learn another language is more than just learning words and grammar. It involves （包括）learning about another culture too. Body language is different from culture to culture, so there is something that language learners should know about.
Sometimes, cultural differences in body language can cause discomfort or misunderstanding. For example, there are cultural differences in how much distance should be kept between two people who are talking with each other. If you would like people to keep a distance, you may feel very uncomfortable when someone keeps trying to stand close to you at a party.
In some Asian countries, a smile can show embarrassment（尴尬） or apology. However, smiling back at a teacher who is unhappy with you, or someone whose foot you accidentally stepped upon is probably not a good idea in most English-speaking countries.
In most countries, nodding your head means "yes" and shaking your head means "no". However, nodding and shaking your head have the opposite meanings in Albania.
Even speakers of the same language, such as British, American or Australian people, may not use the same body language .So learning how to understand and use body language is important to you to improve your communicative abilities.

A. words
B. grammar
C. culture

B. Another example of misunderstanding is the use of the smile.
C. Just smile, you will find the world is so peaceful and beautiful.
D. Never forget to smile because it is sometimes better than an apology.
（3）In Albania, shaking your head means .
A. yes
B. no

D. excuse me
（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Body language is the same in every country.
B. In every Asian country, a smile can show apology.
C. Speakers of the same language use the same body language.
D. You should keep a comfortable distance when talking with someone.
【答案】（1）D

What is at the top of the world's food chain? Humans are! We are not the biggest or fastest, but we are the cleverest. We could not run faster than most animals, so we invented cars and now we can move the fastest. We could not fight better than lions, so we invented guns. Now we can hunt the best.
People's inventions are clever, but they can be dangerous too. For example, many years ago, in Inner Mongolia, people used guns to kill a lot of wild wolves. The wild wolves usually eat wild rabbits. But in recent years, the number of wild rabbits is becoming bigger and bigger because the a number of wild wolves is getting smaller and smaller.

Please tell me where he stays!" I said angrily.
