No one else came up with such a creative idea as we did.” they said. So far, th ey have made ￡47,000.The goal of the website isn't only to get people to look at the advertisements that are painted on their faces. Harper and Moyse also paint advertisements on their faces to advertise themselves. They started on January 1st 2017. The first advertisement went for ￡1 a day. But now the price has moved up to ￡400 a day. However, they know that their success won't be long-lived.

Do you know how to make it? What d oes a chocolate factory look like? My class had a fiel d trip to a chocolate factory in Toronto.We visited an ol d building in ten groups. In the beginning, we put on some special clothes to make sure that we couldn’t dirty the workplace. After preparation, we went to the second floor and walked into the chocolate-making place. The floor was filled with different kinds of machines. Each machine has a different job. There are only two people working on the floor, because machines do most of the work.In the next room, we learned about the history of chocolate making. There was a picture of the factory 100 years ago. They had more than 1,000 peopl e working there. The factory is very different now. How greatly the technol ogy is changing our life!Later, we saw how machines mad e chocolate. We got a cocoa bean (可可豆), some powd ered (粉末的) chocolate and a final chocolate. I opened the cocoa bean and tasted it. It doesn’t taste sweet at all, and it’s like dark chocolate. The best cocoa beans come from South America and Africa. Farmers dry them in the sun. Next, workers cook the beans at a high temperature. Machines took the shells (果壳) off the beans and made the beans into chocolate liquor which l ooks like water. Then, they put chocolate liquor and sugar together to make dark chocolate. If adding milk, they mad e milk chocolate. The machine made them smooth like silk.Finally, we bought some chocolate at a shop in the factory. It was at a very low price. This field trip taught me how important technology is and I also l earned a lot of knowledge (知识) about chocolate.50．Why did the writer’s class visit the chocolate factory?A．Because they studied in Toronto.B．Because they could get some chocolate at a l ow price there.C．Because they wanted to learn something about chocolate.51．What makes the writer think “How greatly technol ogy is changing our life”?A．The whole floor only has two machines working.B．Machines are d oing most of the work in this factory.C．People are making more and more delicious chocolate.52．Where do the best cocoa beans come from?A．North America.

C．Africa.53．Which is the RIGHT order about how to make chocolate?①Cook the beans at a high temperature.②Dry the cocoa beans in the sun.③Put chocolate liquor and sugar together.④Take the shells off the beans, and mad e the beans into chocolate liquor.A．②①④③B．①②④③C．②①③④54．The writer thought the field trip was ________.A．tiring B．unforgettabl e C．meaninglessNobody likes to d o chores, especially kids. How can you make your kids get into a good habit of d oing their chores? Try making chores fun for them.Play some music: Music makes everything seem like a party, doesn’t it? Play your kids’ favorite music and let them dance around while they are doing their chores.Make it a treasure hunt (寻宝): It’s a good way when you would like them to cl ean the house. Let them know that you hide (隐藏) a $5 bill someplace. If they find it, they can keep it.Change often: If your kids keep d oing the same chores for months, they may feel bored. Teaching them a new task (任务) is fun for both you and the kids.

Her parent, the Mattel Company, said that 90G of all American girls between 3 and 10 have at least one Barbie at home.However, Barbie is facing some trouble at present. There are many similar dolls on the market in competition with her. Another doll named Bratz, for example, came to life about sixteen years ago. She looks more like today's pop stars with heavy makeup（浓妆） and miniskirts. And her company offers more kinds of clothes.It seems that Barbie has lost her magic among older girls. "For younger girls, playing with a Barbie is much funnier. But when you get older, you want something smarter and more modern," says Vera Shepherd, a shop assistant of a toy store in New York.It is good news that on the international market, Barbie is still No. 1. Although Mattel is selling fewer Barbies in the United States these years, sales in other countries are still going up. Mattel opened its first Barbie store in Shanghai, where girls can shop, eat, drink or even become fashion designers for their own Barbies.Mattel is planning big celebrations for Barbie's 58th birthday. Fashion designers from all over the world have been called to make new dresses for Barbie. How long will Barbie stay popular in the world of toy dolls? It is hard to say, but 58 is surely not the age to retire（退休）.（1）Barbie's family name is .A. RobertsB. MillicentC. ShepherdD.

A阅读下列材料，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案，In Western society，especially in the English﹣speaking world，the chance for young people to see the other countries and experience life is considered important．Many young people，when they finish school at the age of 18，take a gap yearbefore they go to university．Parents often want their children to grow up a little and see what the real world is like when they finish school．Although they are worried about their safety，many think that the advantages of independenceand experience are worth the worries．Children are encouraged to be brave，independent and to explore the world on their own or with friends．Young people also want to experience freedom and see what life is like on the other side．This other side could be the other side of the world or just the other side of life．For example，if they have a rich life，they may want to see how people in poor areas live．A gap year after school is also an important chance for young people to spend time thinking about what they want to do with their lives．A little bit of growing up and experience will help them make their important career decisions，especially when they are unsure about what they want to study．Another reason for going straight after school is to get a break from studying before they start the next few years of university．So anywhere you travel in the world，you will meet young European people exploring the world．So much of the world has been travelled and explored．The young people are now looking for more worthy experiences．Some of them work as volunteers to do something for the country they are visiting．Many gap year volunteers are now spending a few months teaching English in Thailand，helping feed giant pandas in China or building a well（井）in a village in Africa．These young people’s wish to explore the world is an expression of the values of the societies that they are part of．Both discovering the world and making a positive difference in it are important parts of the Western mind．37．Which is NOT a reason for young people to take a gap year？DA．Young people want to take a break from studying．B．Young people want to be sure about what to study．C．Parents encourage them to be brave and independent．D．Parents encourage them to live a free and wealthy life．38．Now a gap year volunteer mightdosomething more valuable like B．A．experiencing different culturesB．helping protect rainforests in BrazilC．making friends with more peopleD．enjoying traditional local food39．By taking a gap year，young people may C．A．stay with their parents all the time B．make money for their further studyC．help change the world for the better D．change the Western mind completely40．The purpose of writing this article is to B．A．show different opinions about gap yearB．offer readers information about gap yearC．discover new ways to take a gap yearD．tell young people when to take a gap year．【考点】社会文化类阅读．【分析】翻译：在西方社会，特别是在讲英语的世界，看年轻人到其他国家和体验生活的机会被认为是重要的．很多年轻人，当他们完成学业，在18岁的时候，上大学以前的这年间隙．当他们完成学业，父母想要自己的孩子长大一点去看看真实的世界是什么样子．虽然他们很担心他们的安全，许多人认为独立和经验优势是值得担忧的．鼓励孩子勇敢，自己或与朋友独立探索世界．年轻人还想体验自由，看看生活是什么样的，另一边的世界是什么样的．另一边或是生活的另一边，例如，如果他们有富有的生活，他们可能希望看到穷人的生活方式．学校的一个空隙年也是年轻人花时间思考自己想做什么的重要机会，有点成长和经验会帮助他们做出重要的职业决策，特别是当他们不确定他们要学习什么时候．另一个去学校的原因是，在未来的几年里，你可以从学习中获得一个休息的机会，所以在世界上任何地方旅行，你都会遇到来自欧洲的年轻人．世界上许多的人已经在旅行和探索．年轻人正在寻找更多值得借鉴的经验．其中一些志愿者工作，为他们所访问的国家做一些事情．许多空隙年志愿者现在花几个月在泰国教学英语，在中国帮助喂养大熊猫或在非洲的建立一个村庄．这些年轻人希望探索世界是一个社会的价值观的表达，他们是世界的一部分，并在这方面的积极的差异是西方精神的重要组成部分．【解答】37．D．根据语境Parents often want their children to grow up a little and see what the real world is like when they finish school．可知父母鼓励孩子们过自由富足的生活是不对的．故选：D．38．B．A表示不同国家的文化经验；B表示在巴西帮忙保护雨林；C表示和更多的人交朋友；D表示享用当地传统美食．根据语境和汉语意思在巴西帮忙保护雨林属于志愿者活动．故选：B39．C．根据语境The young people are now looking for more worthy experiences．可知在间隙年，年轻人有助于改变世界．故选：C40．B．根据语境Many young people，when they finish school at the age of 18，take a gap yearbefore they go to university．可知文章说的是间隙年的事．故选：B【点评】本题考查的是一篇社会文化类阅读理解，首先要通读全文，了解文章大意，再熟悉题干和选项，然后根据语境逐一选出答案．最后在检查一遍，查缺补漏．BAre you looking for some new and exciting places to take your kids to?

It is a story about animals that get together to find water. Along their journey, lots of funny things happen, and of course, they have a lot of adventures.The animals in the grasslands in Africa are waiting for the coming flood. However, this year's flood seems to come later than in other years. The animals become upset and worried. At the same time, some animals from other places come to the grasslands to look for peace. However, the situation seems worse because the water is becoming less and less. So they decide to look for the river.Finally, they find the reason why they don't have any water to drink. A dam has been set up so that humans can have a better life. After a long fight with humans, they let the world know that animals are in danger.This film is about environmental matters. The humans are the bad and the animals are the good. This film is to give humans a warning that they must not destroy the homes of animals or damage nature in order to improve their own life.

It was invented in the 1960s in the USA. The American government needed a network of computers for its army. Then in the 1970s scientists and business people also wanted to use the Internet to send and receive messages. For some years, they weren't allowed to use the US network, and when they we re allowed to, the messages were in very simple text without photos.The World Wide Web was invented by a British scientist named Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. Hewanted to send documents to other scientists. So he developed the World Wide Web. This allowed him to send and receive scientific documents with text, drawings and photos (also called multimedia documents). In the 1990s, more and more people began to use the Internet and the World Wide Web.So what's the difference between the Internet and the World Wide Web? The Internet is the hardware. It allows us to communicate with other people. The World Wide Web is the software. It allows us to create, see and read multimedia documents.The web is made up of millions of documents called web pages. These pages are held in computers all over the world. Many people have a favourite website with a number of web pages on the same subject.Email is a way of using your computer to send and receive messages. It's cheaper and quicker to use email than send normal mail. New users call normal mail “snail mail” because it's so slow!It took 50 years for 100 million people to listen to the radio. It took 15 years for 100 million people to watch television. By the year 2000, it had taken only about three years for 100 million people to use the Internet. What will happen next on the Internet?11. The Internet was first invented for ____.A. scientific workB. American armyC. business peopleD. American government12. The World Wide Web was invented to ____.A. communicate with othersB. create, see and read documentsC. send and receive scientific documentsD. send and receive simple text without photos13. The Internet and the World Wide Web began to be widely used ____.A. in the 1970sB. in the 1990sC. in the late of 1980sD. by the year 200014. The writer wrote the last paragraph to show that ____.A. the Internet has a greater influence than radio and TVB. radio and TV will be replaced by computersC. the use of the Internet spread very quicklyD. people spend much more time on the Internet15. The best title of the passage may be “____”.A. The effect of the greatest inventionB. The development of the InternetC. The movement of new technologyD. The history of the World Wide Web答案： 11-15BCBCBNote- taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork. It can make you confident when you are studying. _16_If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that's great. You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class. _17_ For example, some teachers may focus on lots of dates and facts in class, but they only write the important ones on the blackboard. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may repeat them.Don't try to write down every word in class, or you might miss some important points. Some students really learn better with the help of these notes._18_ If your teacher speaks too fast and you can't follow what he is saying, you can ask him after class.Comparing your notes with your classmates' can be good for your learning. 19_Note-taking also needs organization. Keep notes for each subject in one place, so that you can find everything easily when a test comes. Good note-taking takes time. If you decide to recopy your notes every morning, you'll surely have less time to watch TV. But you'll save time in the coming test.A. It can also help you and your classmates correct some mistakes.B. It isn't interesting but you may find it very useful.C. However, most students don't know how to take notes.D. Don't be afraid to ask your teacher to repeat what you've missed.E. Surely, you will succeed if you follow your teacher in class.F. Different teachers do things differently.答案：16 C 17F 18D 19A。

I have made up my mind that I will study harder and help you to clean the house. I am serious （认真的）this time. I will have my homework done faster so that I can have more energy to clean the house. I will watch TV less so that I can have more time to study and get good grades. All these things are for one reason—I want to make you a happy mum.I love you!Yours,Sally 11．Why is Sally’s mother angry with Sally when she comes back from work?A．Because Sally doesn’t study hard.B．Because Sally isn’t good at English.C．Because Sally doesn’t clean the house.D．Because Sally doesn’t finish her homework.12．What does Sally’s mother think about her?A．She thinks Sally is very lazy.B．She feels frustrated about her grades.C．She thinks Sally studies very hard.D．She thinks Sally is a bad girl.13．What does Sally want?A．She wants enough money.B．She wants enough free time.C．She wants good grades and praise.D．She wants enough good food.14．Why does Sally want to do her homework faster?A．Because she will have enough time to watch TV.B．Because she is interested in doing homework.C．Because she has many important things to do.D．Because she can have more energy to do some cleaning in her house. 15．Which of the following is WRONG?A．Sally feels very tired after she finishes her homework.B．Sally loves her mother deeply.C．Sally’s teacher feels frustrated about her.D．Sally wants to make her mother happy.When Jane and Billy were little, they got along well. The fights didn’t start until they were both 10 years old.“Mom, Billy won’t give my book back!”“It’s not yours. It’s mine!”And so it went. Our peaceful house had turned into a war zone (战区). But we found a solution.We talked to the kids and discussed what would happen if they argued again. We came up with a list of “punishments (惩罚)” that we would give them if they fought. But they weren’t really punishments — just nice things that we would ask them to do for each other. For example, if Jane started a fight, we would ask her to clean Billy’s room. If Billy started a fight, we would ask him to give Jane a hug.We wrote these “punishments” on a circular board (圆形板子) with an arrow in the middle. If one of them started a fight, he/she would have to spin (转动) the board and receive the “punishment”.This “punishment wheel” worked wonders (取得惊人成效). Soon the kids stopped arguing so often. We didn’t have to really punish them — we just had to teach them to be nice to each other. 16．What does the underlined word “peaceful” mean?A．Quiet.B．Noisy.C．Comfortable.D．Exciting.17．What did the author do when her kids fought?A．She asked them to run outside.B．She asked them to say sorry to each other.C．She asked them to spin the “punishment wheel”.D．She helped the younger child argue with the older child.18．Why did the author use quotation marks (引号) for the word “punishments”?A．She wanted to show the importance of the word.B．She wanted to show that the “punishments” were not real punishments.C．She wanted the readers to guess the meaning of the word.D．She was not sure if the word is correct.19．With the “punishments”, the author wanted to teach the kids that ________.A．fighting was not a game B．there were no real punishments in lifeC．they should be nice to each other D．fighting was bad for both sides20．What’s the best title for the passage?A．Brother and Sister B．A Smart MomC．Stop Arguing D．The Punishment Wheel三、6选5下面文章中有五处（第1-5题）需要添加小标题。

My husband Mr. Smith went to bed at about half past ten. The servants had already gone to their rooms. Only my housekeeper stayed in her room at the top of the house until I needed her.I read a book in this room until after eleven. Then I walked round to make sure that all was right before I went upstairs（楼上）. I went into the kitchen, the storeroom, the living room, and finally the dining-room. As I came near the window, which is covered with thick curtains（窗帘）, I suddenly felt the wind blow on my face, and realized that it was open. I pulled the curtain to one side, and found myself face to face with a man who had just walked into the room. By the light of my bedroom candle, I saw two other men entering behind the first. I was so scared, walking back quickly, but the man was on me in a minute. He caught me first by the wrist（手腕）and then by the throat. I tried to shout, but he hit me heavily over the eyes, and I fell to the ground. I must have been unconscious for a few minutes. When I woke up, I found they had tied me to the chair, and a scarf round my mouth stopped me from making any sound. At this time, my unlucky husband came into the room. He had certainly heard some suspicious（令人怀疑的）sounds, and he came prepared. When he rushed at one of the bad men, another man took the poker（拔火棍）out of the fireplace quietly and hit him heavily as he passed. My husband fell without a sound and never moved again.6．When did the bad men go into the house?A．Before Mr. Smith went to bed. B．While Mrs. Smith was reading a book.

D．They killed Mr. Smith.10．Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A．Mrs. Smith was too scared to cry for help.B．The bad men went into the room through the door.C．Mr. Smith guessed something unusual was happening.D．Mr. Smith knew how many bad men were in the house.There was a park near my home. But I didn’t go there very often. Many people said there was nothing special. One afternoon I went into the park and found it was really small. I walked quickly because there wasn’t much to see. I walked for some time and found myself standing in front of two paths. “Which way should I go?” I asked myself. I looked at one way, then the other. I found that the two paths were different from each other.The left one was wide and clean. There were lots of flowers on both sides of the path. Though the flowers weren’t very beautiful, they made me feel good. I decided to ta ke this path. But wait! I looked at the right one. The path didn’t look nice. It looked like nobody had cleaned it for months. Grass grew everywhere. For a long time I couldn’t make up my mind. After a while a strange feeling made me follow the dirty path. It wasn’t nice, but I didn’t want to give up. At last, I came to the end of the path.Ah! There was a small garden there. It was beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful garden I had ever seen. There were trees, flowers and chairs. I thought it was the nicest part of the park. Many people told me that there was nothing much to see in the park. Now I’d like to tell them that if they had followed the right way, they would have felt differently. But when I told them about what I had seen in the park, they just smiled at me without saying a word. I knew they didn’t believe me. They couldn’t even remember that path because it was so small.My trip to the park that day made me understand something about life. Don’t be afraid to choose a different path. You may get a big surprise!11．Which of the following is TRUE about the park?A．It was big and special. B．It was far from the writer’s home. C．The writer seldom went to the park. D．There was a lot to see in the park. 12．According to the passage, we know that the left way was ________.A．wide and clean B．narrow and dirty C．wide but dirty D．strange but nice 13．Which path did the writer decide to take at last?A．The long one. B．The clean one. C．The left one. D．The right one. 14．How did the people feel when the writer told them the truth?A．Acceptable. B．Unbelievable. C．Interested. D．Disappointed. 15．What’s the best title for the text?A．A big surprise B．Two different paths C．The nicest part of the park D．A small parkHello! I’m Pleasant Goat. This is my room.

2020-2021年人教版英语八年级英语下册阅读理解专题复习练习(含解析)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Have you ever thought about what our food will be like in the future? As the population is growing fast, there must be changes in our food.More land will be used for building houses for people. Then there will be less space for cattle and chickens, so meat will be more expensive. Instead, people will eat more fruit and vegetables. Scientists are always trying out new ways of growing food. Only one third of the Earth's area is land and the rest is sea, so some think maybe we can get more food from the sea.Besides, though rice supports more than half of the world's population, it needs a lot of water to grow. Scientists predict（预测） the climate will get drier during the next century. Therefore, it might be impossible to grow rice in the future. Some farmers are experimenting with new crops. Farmers like to grow beans because they don't need much water, and beans also improve the quality of the soil. The soybean （黄豆） makes a good substitute（替代品） for rice and meat.（1）Why won't some people eat meat every day in the future according to the passage?A. Because meat makes people fat.B. Because meat may be more expensive.C. Because people want to be healthier.D. Because people want to eat more vegetables.（2）Where can we get more food according to the passage?A. From the sea.B. From the land.C. From the rivers.D. From other planets.（3）Why might it be impossible to grow rice in the future according to the passage?A. Because growing rice is hard work.B. Because people will eat less rice.C. Because rice needs much water to grow.D. Because it takes too much time to grow rice.（4）Which of the following about beans is NOT true?A. Beans may be popular for farmers to grow.B. Beans need as much water as rice to grow.C. Beans improve the quality of the soil.D. Beans can take the place of rice and meat.【答案】（1）B（2）A（3）C（4）B【解析】【分析】短文大意：这篇短文讲的是将来人们的食物会是什么样的。
