If that, it can even make you feel sick!But if you talk with someone who cares for you, like your mom or dad, you will not be all alone with your problems or worries. It doesn't mean your problems and worries go off, but at least someone else knows what your trouble is and can help you find ways to do with it.If the person doesn't understand what you mean right away, try explaining it in a different way or give an example that has something to do with you. Of course, there are many ways for you to speak up your feelings. If you think you'll have trouble saying what's on your mind, write it down on a piece of paper.Some of us, just like some adults, are more private（有隐私的）than others. That means some people will feel shy about sharing their feelings.

These violins sound better than any other violin. They even sound better than the violins made today. Violin makers and scientists try to make instruments like the Italian violins. But they aren't the same. Musicians still prefer the old ones.Some people think it is the age of the violins. But not all the old violins sound wonderful. Only the old violins from Cremona are special. So age cannot be the correct answer.Other people think the secret to those violins is wood. The wood must be from certain kinds of trees. But the kind of wood may not be so important. It may be more important to cut the wood in a special way. Wood for a violin must be cut very carefully. It has to be the right size and shape. The smallest difference will change the sound of the violin. Musicians sometimes think that it is the secret of the Italians. Possibly they understood more than us about how to cut the wood.Size and shape may not be the answer either. Scientists can make new ones which are exactly the same size and shape. But the new violins still do not sound as good as the old ones. Some scientists think the secret may be the varnish （清漆）. Varnish is what covers the wood of the violin. It makes the wood look shiny. It also helps the sound of the instrument. But no one knows what the Italian violin makers used in their varnish.（1）Violins first made in Cremona .A. are worse than the violins made todayB. are the same as the violins made todayC. sound better than the violins made todayD. have the same varnish as the violins made today（2）Why is the violin painted with the varnish?A.

Scientific ideas about violins made today.B. The ways of making good violins.C. The musical instruments.D. The old Italian violins.12．阅读理解Lately, people have entered the forests where chimpanzees live. The chimpanzees have been getting sick because of people's diseases. In addition, people are hunting chimpanzees. Their number is becoming smaller and smaller.Chimpanzees live in the plains and forests of Africa. They eat many kinds of foods, from plant leaves and seeds to insects and even other small animals. Chimpanzees' favourite food is fruit.Chimpanzees are very clever and they can use tools well. They can catch bugs by using sticks, and break nuts by using rocks.The world's forests are much smaller than they were before. Roads were built in deep forests, so people start to enter the forests where chimpanzees live. That may lead to many problems. One problem for chimpanzees is that they can easily catch people's diseases and die. Chimpanzees are much closer to people than monkeys.As it's easier for people to enter forests, they hunt more often. Young chimpanzees are caught to be pets or for scientific research.

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?

八年级英语下册阅读理解专题(含答案)经典一、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。

He held up (举起) a glass of water and asked the class, "How heavy do you think this glass of water is?"The students' answers ranged from 20 g to 500 g? "It does not matter on the weight itself. 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.

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 wasforced 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 a time 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. My trade is more useful to me than all my former riches.”1. The young man learnt to make shoe tacks because ________.A. his father told him toB. he wanted to learn a skillC.

The blacksmith had predicted the young man would be in need of the skill.C. The higher prices they paid, the more tacks the shoemakers would get.D. 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 describe 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?①There are lights at home②People often eat home-cooked food now③Lots of families have computers④More 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.

Do they love the Backstreet Boys? Or do they dance with Eminem?Well, nearly 6,000 teens have taken part in a Teen & Music survey, made by the USA Weekend Magazine last autumn. And the result showed what type of music was hot and what was not.It comes without surprise that hip-hop and rap are the most popular types of music among American teenagers. They began in the mid-1970s with young black kids in New York, taking music onto the streets. Hip -hop and rap are well-known for the break-dancing that goes withthem.The word "rap" comes from a slang word. It is a rapid rhyme that is spoken rather than sung.Pop music, such as Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys, has always met the tastes of the general public. It continues to enjoy support from teens and is the second most popular music after hip-hop and rap.The third is rock music with exciting dance beats and simple lyrics that speak loudly of social problems. The melodies are led by electric guitars. Rock became popular in the USA in the early 1950s.

One of these, for example, was the great Italian artist, Leonardo da Vinci. In the sixteenth century he made designs for machines that could fly. But they were never built.Throughout history, other less famous men have wanted to fly as well. An example was a man in England about 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings* from chicken feathers. Then he fixed them to his body and jumped into the air from a tall building. As you can imagine, he did not fly very far. Instead he fell to the ground and broke every bone in his body.The first real try took place in France in 1783. The two Montgolfier brothers knew that hot air rises. If they could fill a large balloon with hot air, they thought it would rise into the air and fly. They were right. They made a very large "hot air balloon" of cloth and paper. They filled it with hot air and the balloon rose two hundred metres into the air. It fell to earth about three kilometres away. In September of that year, both the King and Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky. We do not know what the passengers felt about the trip as they were a cock, a duck, and a sheep. But we do know that the trip lasted for 8 minutes and then the animals landed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip lasted for twenty-five minutes and they traveled about 8 kilometers.（1）Leonardo da Vinci____________.A. made designs of flying machinesB. built a kind of machine which never flewC. drew many beautiful pictures of the birdsD. said that man would fly in the sky one day （2）Eight hundred years ago an Englishman____________.A. made a kind of flying machine himselfB. wanted to build a kind of hot air balloonC. tried to fly from a tall building on a large birdD. tried to fly with wings made of chicken feathers（3）The two Montgolfier brothers tried ____________at flying.A. onceB. twiceC. three timesD. four times（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A.

And I'm always trying my best to stay away from sugar.Know when to stay off your phone. This is another thing I'm still trying to be better at. We're used to putting our eyes on those small screens. And we often forget something else that's more important. It's not friendly to let your friends wait while you are busy answering your e-mails.Cook food yourself. Salad looks healthy.

They give people advice to sleep lightly before continuing with other activities. The experts say naps might improve health by reducing pressure.Some European and Latin American companies have supported the idea of napping for many years. They ask people to leave work, go home and have a nap before returning. In the UnitedStates, some companies let workers rest simply in their offices. They believe this can help workers make fewer mistakes and also increase the amount of work that a person can do.Sleep experts say it is likely that people make more mistakes at work than at other times. They say people should not carry out important tasks when they feel sleepy. And they say the best thing to do is to take a nap. About twenty minutes of rest is all you need.

A longer nap will put the body into deep sleep and waking up will be difficult.（1）This passage is probably taken from ________.A. a story bookB. a posterC. a science fictionD. a medical magazine （2）What's the best way to increase workers' effects?A.

Studies showthat people feel good when they volunteer their time to do good things for others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone.

八年级英语下册英语阅读理解专题练习(解析版)一、八年级英语下册阅读理解专项训练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.

Most people only lived to be twenty-five or thirty years old. 20% of people died before they were twelvemonths old and another 30% could not live to be five years old.Today, people can live much longer. One reason is that the water we drink is cleaner. Clean water does not cause diseases（疾病）. Besides, medical treatment is better today. More and more people live to be over eighty.Women often live longer than men.

The difference between Mark and other climbers is that he lost both his legs when climbing New Zealand's highest mountain, Mount Cook. He was caught in a big ice hole and he had to have his legs cut below the knees after he was saved. But that couldn't make him lose heart, who has become the first person with man-made legs to reach the top of Mount Everest.From the top of the world's highest mountain, Mark called his wife to say he made it. His wife, Anne got the phone when she was sleeping. She couldn't hear him clearly on the phone. She was unable to say when he reached the top but thought it was around mid-day. She also said his "legs" didn't work well sometimes, so her husband was carrying a spare leg and repair tools.Mark used to be a mountain guide before his accident. He said it was not important that no one like him had ever reached the 8,850-meter mountain."I'm not doing this to be the first. I have been climbing most of my life and I just feel Mount Everest is really a great aim. I want to send a message that I can do anything better.

Are they crazy about Britney Spears? Do they love the Backstreet Boys? Or do they dance with Eminem?Well, nearly 6,000 teens have taken part in a Teen & Music survey, made by the USA Weekend Magazine last autumn. And the result showed what type of music was hot and what was not.It comes without surprise that hip-hop and rap are the most popular types of music among American teenagers. They began in the mid-1970s with young black kids in New York, taking music onto the streets. Hip -hop and rap are well-known for the break-dancing that goes with them.The word "rap" comes from a slang word. It is a rapid rhyme that is spoken rather than sung.Pop music, such as Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys, has always met the tastes of the general public. It continues to enjoy support from teens and is the second most popular music after hip-hop and rap.The third is rock music with exciting dance beats and simple lyrics that speak loudly of social problems. The melodies are led by electric guitars. Rock became popular in the USA in the early 1950s. The American singer Elvis Presley and British group the Beatles became world famous rock artists.The survey also shows that jazz is least loved by American teens. It developed in the later part of the 19th century from a mixture of African songs and hymns. Jazz tends to be the type of music that people enjoy more as they get older.（1）American teenagers like best.A. hip-hop and rapB. pop musicC. rock musicD. jazz（2）Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys belong to .A. pop musicB. hip-hopC. rock musicD. jazz（3）In the later part of the 19th century developed .A. rapB. jazzC. the BeatlesD. the electric guitar（4）The main purpose of this passage is to tell the readers .A. about a study conducted among US teensB. what types of music are popular among US teensC. that both American and Chinese teens love musicD. that kids love different types of music because of the stars5．阅读理解Shopping for clothes is not the same for men as it is for women. A man goes shopping because he needs something. He will decide what to buy in advance. He knows what he wants, and his aim is to find it and buy it. Most men simply walk into a shop and ask someone for what they want. If the shop has it, and the price is good, they often finish shopping in less than five minutes, to everyone's satisfaction.For a man, some problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants. At that time, the salesman tries to sell the man something else. He offers something that is almost the same as the article the man wants. Good salespeople say, "I know this jacket is not what you really want, sir, but would you like to try it for size. It happens to be the color you like." Most men don't care about this and may answer, "This may be the right color and the right size, but I won't waste my time trying it on."For a woman, it is different. Most of the time, she goes shopping not because she needs something. She hasn't decided what she wants before she goes shopping. She just goes to "have a look around". At first, she thinks about finding something that everyone will say "It looks good on you." Most women are always looking for bargains（特价商品）. A woman may easily spend an hour looking at dresses before she wants to try on. It is a tiresome（令人厌烦的） process. Most clothes stores provide chairs for the waiting husbands.（1）According to the underlined sentence in the first paragraph, we know that men decidewhat they want . A. before they go shopping B. after they go into shops C. right away D. after thinking about it for a while（2）What does "… but I won't waste my time trying it on" mean in the second paragraph?A. The jacket is not the right color.B. The man has no time.C. The jacket is not what the man wants.D. The man doesn't want to buy anything at all.（3）The underlined word "article" in the second paragraph is . A. a piece of writing B. a part of an agreement C. a thing D. a jacket（4）Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?A. Men buy clothes faster than women.B. Most women always look for bargains.C. Most women like to have a look around.D. Most clothes stores provide chairs for the children.6．阅读理解Ben has received four messages today.
