The kid’s mother got angry about the young man’s attitude (态度) and they started to quarrel(吵架) with each other.This happened two years ago and has caused a huge argument on the Internet.

These activities made our family feel closer.In the warm afternoon, we peacefully (平静地) read books on hammocks hung among trees by the river. The days always ended with a campfire. We sat around the fire, talking and laughing.The river is a perfect place for people to forget about all the stresses of life and simply enjoy the moment.

I felt too tired to think of any special gifts.Knowing Justin felt the same way, I decided one year not to buy the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so on. I reached for something special just for Justin. The inspiration came in an unusual way.Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was wrestling （摔跤）at the junior level at the school he attended; and shortly before Christmas, there was a match against a team sponsored (赞助) by an inner-city church.These youngsters, dressed in such worn-out shoes that shoe strings seemed to be the only thing holding them together, while our boys were in their blue and gold uniforms and new wrestling shoes.As the match began, I was shocked to see that the other team were wrestling without wearing helmets (头盔) to protect their ears. Well, our boys ended up defeating them. We took every weight class.Justin, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, “I wish just one of them could have won,” he said. “They have a lot potential (潜力) , but losing like this could take the heart out of them.” Justin loved kids—all kids, and he knew them, having coached little league football and baseball. That"s when the idea for his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and bought different kinds of wrestling helmets and shoes. I sent them to inner-city church without leaving my name.On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Justin what I had done and that was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and since then the envelope has become the highlight of our Christmas.6. Justin hated Christmas because _____.A. he didn’t enjoy receiving giftsB. he had a hard time choosing giftsC. he spent too much money buying giftsD. he disliked putting gifts under the Christmas tree7. We know from the passage that the team sponsored by inner-city church _____.A. were well dressedB. paid no attention to safetyC. feared Kevin"s teamD. couldn’t afford a helmet8. How did Justin feel about the team"s failure ?A. UpsetB. AngryC. HopelessD. Shameful9. Why did the writer send gifts to the inner-city church without leaving her name ?A. To avoid being thankedB. To play a joke on JustinC. To give Justin a surpriseD. To protect her private information10. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. The Church GiftB. A Special NoteC. The White EnvelopeD. A Christmas Card 【答案】6-10 BDACC。

阅读理解专项训练 (一)阅读下列短文,从下面每题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
ABody language skills that make you popularWe’ve all heard that up to 90% of communication is non-verbal in nature. Body language is important. But what actually is “good” body language? How do we learn to “speak” body language?People should understand the importance of intention (意图).Actions come from thoughts and feelings. What are you doing and thinking before speaking or meeting new friends? Worrying? Being stressful? Imagining the worse things? If so, you may need to do some inner work. In order to have a happy result, people often spend some time preparing for meetings.People stand up straight, but not too straight.People stand up straight to show their confidence, but they don’t overdo it. Standing too straight appears unnatural, and others will not feel good about you.People make eye contact, but not too much.Looking at the ground? Looking at the ceiling? Looking anywhere but into people’s eyes? When people make good eye contact, they may get on well with others. Good eye contact is important to good communication, but making it for a long time is not good.People smile and laugh, but not at their own jokes.If you have a stone-like face during the communication, listeners will feel you are serious. The conversation partners take the information from you. So a good smile will be helpful to your friendly communication, and laughter will make you relaxed.()1.

When you’re holding the phone, it feels as if you're holding someone you miss.Paper PhoneHow many times have you wanted to smash (摔碎) your phone when talking to annoying people?

They need less space and are easier to look after.If you want to have a pet, you can buy one from a pet shop, but you must be careful not to buy a sick one. It is best if you know something about the pet you want. This will help you choose a healthy pet. However, if you do not have much money and know very little about animals, you can visit the Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA)(皇家防止虐待动物协会).The first RSPCA was founded in England in 1824. If an unhealthy animal has no home, it can come to the RSPCA office. People there will look after it until it is healthy again. People visiting the RSPCA may choose their pets from these animals and they make sure that you will get a healthy pet. If later your pet becomes ill, you can take it to the doctors at the RSPCA again.When you have a pet, it is very important that you look after it properly. You must remember to feed it on time. You should also give it a clean and comfortable place to rest. Your pet will be happy and healthy if you love it and care for it properly.()1.

We went with our friends Edward Smith and his wife Tina to the Yorkshire Moors. This is a beautiful place. It is a natural park. There are lots of places to walk on the tops of the hills, miles of grassland with no people, just sheep and birds.Edward, who had just come out of hospital, could not walk as far as be used to. However this meant that we walked in the mornings, and then stopped at a cafe for lunch each day, before returning to the place we live. Edward and I slept in front of the fire all afternoon, while the ladies went for another walk. Very pleasant!I have taken lots of photos from the place we live, across the valley（峡谷）below us, of the morning sunrise, and the mist in the valley. Also, in England, the old steam powered trains（蒸汽火车）are very popular. I have taken many photos of the train and from it.Yesterday we had the first snow of this winter. It is very early （we usually expect snow in January）. It rained all day, then snowed in the evening.

This is how wind power works. Wind makes windmills spin (旋转). When the windmills spin, they make electricity. Then we can use the electricity.A lot of people think that wind power is new, but that’s not true.For thousands of years, people have used wind to sail boats and move water. We still do those things today, but these days we mostly use wind power to make electricity.Wind power is a very popular source of energy. Most people think that we should use it more and more. First of all, it’s clean. Windmills don’t pollute the environment at all. Second, we can use wind power forever. After all, we will always have wi nd. Also, wind power is cheap, and it’s getting even cheaper.A lot of people don’t understand wind power very well. They believe that there are problems with wind power, but many of those problems are not real. For example, some people say that windmills are dangerous for birds. They used to be true, but it isn’t true anymore. Old windmills killed birds because they spun very fast. New windmills spin slowly, and they aren’t dangerous for birds.However, there are real problems with windmills. One problem is that many people think windmills are very ugly. This is a problem for people, because windmills are often in very pretty areas. Also, wind doesn’t blow all the time, so we can’t use wind power all the time. Finally, windmills are noisy.Wind power is becoming more and more common. Right now, more than 80 countries use wind power. About 2.5 percent of the world’s power comes from the wind. For some countries, that number is a lot higher. Wind power gives Denmark more than 25 percent of its electricity.1. Why DON’T new windmills kill birds? Because .A. birds don’t fly near themB. they spin slowlyC. they are shorter than old windmillsD. new windmills don’t spin2. When did people start using wind power?A. About 25 years ago.B. About 80 years ago.C. About 500 years ago.D. Over 1,000 years ago.3. , so we CAN’T use wind power all the time.A. Windmills break all the timeB. We can’t use windmills at nightC. Windmills are too expensive to use all the timeD. Wind doesn’t blow all the time4. What does the article say about wind power?A. Most people don’t like it.B. It’s getting cheaper.C. Denmark doesn’t use it.D. It’s getting more expensive.5. What is the best title for the passage?A. Expensive WindmillsB. Cheap and Clean EnergyC. Popular and Clean Wind PowerD. Dangerous Birds答案：BDDBB4Traveling can be expensive. But there are some ways to save money when traveling. Try some of the advice below on your next vacation and your wallet will thank you.Look for city tourism cards. With the card, you can pay less at restaurants and shops.

Everyone has different opinions about where is the best place to live in. Also, the best places to live are not always home to the best schools. Finally, many schools specialize in different areas of study. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for example, is a great school for computer science and technology-related fields of study. However, if you want to study oceanography (海洋学), your interests may be better served by attending school in a place that is on a coastline or near the ocean.Now I am sure that you know which schools are considered the best in the country. So I will tell you about which states I believe are the best to live in.California is a nice state. Northern California specifically has very good weather. Los Angeles in Southern California is another story though. Life in Los Angeles is full of excitement and fast,and sometimes dangerous.As for me, I enjoy the time I spent in Massachusetts, Virginia and Maryland and these states have a lot of history and culture. The weather is not as perfect as California, but it is still quite nice. My favorite areaof America is the Mid-west. Middle America, I think, is home to the true American sense of values. In addition, there are many good universities there.Also, you need to think about your likes and dislikes and then research the various states. You like sunshine and hate snow? Then you probably won't like the Midwest or even the Northeast. Open space, nature and peace and quiet? Then you probably should stay away from America's large cities. Are you interested in government? Then Washington D.C. is the only place for you. Whatever you decide, put some thought into it.The place you live could be the difference between a great study-abroad experience and a state of great suffering on earth.1. From the first paragraph we can conclude (得出结论) that in the USA _____.A. all colleges and universities lie in big citiesB. all colleges and universities lie in beautiful placesC. famous colleges and universities lie in nice placesD. famous colleges and universities may not lie in nice places2. What should be considered first if you want to study in the USA?A. The climate.B. The scenery.C. The study condition.D. The living condition.3. From the third paragraph we can find that _____.A. California is the best place to live inB. California is the worst place to live inC. California is a state with different climatesD. California is a small state in the USA4. If you study in Middle America, you can probably _____.A. find the best universitiesB. feel the real character of the nationC. meet the most famous professors thereD. face more difficulties5. From the last paragraph of this passage we can get to know that _____.A. Washington is the largest city in the USAB. Washington is the political centre of the USAC. you can't find sunshine in the MidwestD. you can't find any universities out of big cities in the USA答案：DCCBB6Every time you turn on the television or take a ride in a car,you could be adding to a problem called acid rain (酸雨). In this article, you'll learn how acid is created, and how it affects us, and more importantly, what we all can do to prevent it.How is acid rain created?When people use fuels (燃料), such as coal and gasoline, poisonous gases are give off. When these gases mix with rain, acid rain forms. Many power stations burn fuels in order to creat the electricity (电) that we use in our homes and offices every day. Cars and trucks also send these gases into the air when they burn gasoline.When rain mixes with these gases, harmful things called acids form. This is acid rain.How does acid rain affect us?Acid rain damages (毁坏) everything that it touches. It poisons our rivers, ponds, lakes, and oceans along with all the life in them. It pollutes our soil and crops, harms trees, and can even kill fish and plants. Acid rain also eats away at buildings.How can we prevent acid rain?We need to cut down on the pollution that gets into our air. Turn off lights, television, and other electrical appliances if you are not using them, Walk or take a bike whenever possible. If you are travelling a long distance, take a bus or train to save fuel.As research shows, acid rain harms our environment. But people everywhere can take small steps now to help protect our environment for future generations.1. When power stations burn fuel, ______.A. acid rain formB. air pollution is causedC. noise pollution is causedD. acid rain gets heavier2. According to the article, acid rain affects us ______.A. suddenlyB. slightlyC. seriouslyD. immediately3. What advice does the article give us?A. Go to school on foot or by bike if we can.B.

Since then, Barbie doll, as everyone called her, has become the most successful toy doll in history. 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?

牛津译林版八年级英语下册阅读理解专项练习阅读理解AWhat can a government do if its capital city is rapidly sinking? Indonesia's answer is: to get a new one.The country's president, Joko Widodo, made the decision in a speech to Parliament (议会) last year. The country has decided to move its seat of government out of Jakarta. He said, "A capital city is not just a symbol of national identity, but also a representation of the progress of the nation. "The new capital will be moved to Kalimantan. It is known for rainforests and coal mines. President Widodo toured the area in May, 2018 to visit potential sites. The exact location is till unknown, fearing the news would push up land prices.Indonesia has the fourth largest population in the world. Jakarta is home to more than ten million people To make matters worse, around three times as many people live around towns. The large population has used so much groundwater that it has affected the ground levels. That makes Jakarta the fastest-sinking city in the world. Almost half of its area is already below sea level. At the current speed, about 95 percent of north Jakarta will be underwater by 2050.The decision was met with doubt, however. People questioned whether such a move should be a matter of great urgency for Indonesia. There was also the question of cost. Moving the capital would cost as much as$33 billion, according to a government official. "This is a big job, and it would take up to ten years, "he added.1.

His new book The Wizenard Series: Traiming Camp came out in March, 2019.The story is about the West Bottom Badgers, a youth basketball team. The story2is broken up into five books, with each focusing on the story of one character: Rain, Twig, Cash, Peno, and Lab. All of young kids on this team come from a poor neighborhood. No one has faith in the kids to succeed. But things change after a new coach joins the team.After reading the book, we got to interview Bryant. He said he didn't think he was going to be a writer, but that he often tells stories to his daughters. This is one of the reasons he wrote his own book.

Bryant oncesaid he would like to play a game with Jordan.Bryant had two different jersey numbers-8 and24-during his career.

Will t ever come to an end?"Scientists have been thinking about these questions. However, it's hard to know what will happen. After all, the universe is so big. Still, scientists have made some guesses about the fate of the universe. As US poet Robert Frost once wrote, "Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice. "In the 1800s, the study of heat showed that the universe might someday experience "heat death". Our universe "runs" properly because of temperature differences. It's kind of like how a car engine is able to run because it's hotter inside the engine than outside the engine. But if temperatures become the same everywhere in the universe, certain energy processes will stop working and the universe will die. Will he universe continue to expand? And what will happen next? Here are some related theories.The Big Rip (大撕裂) We know that our universe is expanding. Dark energy causes it to expand faster and faster. This theory suggests that this expansion will continue forever. Finally, the expansion's speed will become so great that everything in the universe will be ripped apart.The Big Freeze (大冻结) As the universe expands, galaxies, stars and planets will pull away from each other. Light from stars will no longer reach the Earth. This will make the universe colder. Finally, the temperature of the universe will reach absolute zero. All movement stops at this temperature.The Big Crunch (大崩坠) This theory is different from the other two. Instead of expanding forever, it suggests that the mass of the universe will reverse the expansion. Then, like a star that grows too large, the universe will collapse in on itself, maybe creating a new condition.1. The US poet Robert Frost's words mean ______ .A. it's interesting to predict the futureB. it's hard to predict the futureC. the future will end in fireD. the future will end in ice2. From Paragraph 3, we know ______ .A. the Earth might become hotter and hotterB. the Earth's energy processes are different from the car'sC. the universe will be sure to expand in the futureD. the universe"runs"properly because it has the same temperature3. When we say the universe will continue to expand forever. Everything in the universe will be ripped apart, the theory is called ______ .A. the Big RipB. the Big FreezeC. the Big CrunchD. the Big Bang4. The meaning of the underlined word "collapse" is similar to " ______ ".A. speed upB. fly upC. set downD. fall down5. Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage?A. The theory of the Big Crunch is offered by scientists from the US.B. Humans didn't start to study the universe until the 1800s.C. Light from stars won't get to the Earth when the universe expands.D. When the universe gets hot, it will become very active.完形填空Dear Jason,I’m so happy to receive this letter from you, my new penfriend. I like your ___1___ , Canada.

Sometimes they are orange or yellow; sometimes they appear red. white or blue,So what causes flames to burn with different colors? Flames take on different colors for different reasons. ___A___ of the most important factors are temperature and the type of the fuel.Red flames correspond to temperatures from 520℃ up to 980℃. Flames turn orange when temperatures reach1, 090 ℃ to 1. 200℃. When temperatures come close to 1. 310℃ to 1, 480℃, flames appear white.You can notice these differences by looking at a candle flame.

So the part of the flame closest to the candle is usually white and the main part of the flame is often orange and the tip is redThere's another color you may have sen in flames: ___B___ . If you have a gas stove at home, you will know that the natural gas flames are mainly blue. Blue flames usually appear at a temperature between 1,420℃ and 1,640℃.

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.

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.

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.

It was given food and water without doing anything at all, so the bat decided to become a child’s pet.He flew to a park to make himself be seen by some children. However, the children paid little attention(注意) to him because he was a bat. So he acted like a bird and learned to sing from birds. One afternoon, he met a little boy who wore a pair of glasses. Then he became the pet of the boy.The bat was happy in his warm and comfortable cage. There he felt like the best of all bats, and the cleverest. Suddenly he started feeling hungry, but there were no insects for him to eat.

Dickens created some unforgettable characters. You must have heard of or even read some of his novels：Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol and A Tale of Two Cities. A Tale of Two Cities has sold more than 200 million copies. Since 1897, there have been more than 300 film and TV adaptations of Dickens' works. A Christmas Carol alone has had nearly 50.Natalie Mcknight is a literature professor who studies Dickens and his works. She explains why the novelist has remained so popular.One important reason, she says, is that Dickens wrote from his heart. He tried hard to produce emotional effects among his readers. In his works, he paid special attention to the “little man” at the bottom of society in the UK, which deeply showed the social reality at that time. A Christmas Carol, for example, was written to make every reader think about how they could make a difference to their society.People always enjoy works that make them laugh, cry and think. Many other 19thcentury novelists wrote entertaining works. However, few of them worked as hard as Dickens to touch the readers deeply.Dickens wrote about situations and emotions that still interest people today. Readers always enjoy seeing poor people rise and succeed.This year marks the 150th year of Dickens' death. It's another chance to remember this great writer. Will you read or reread some of his famous works?13．The paragraph 1 is mainly about ________．A．personality of Dickens B．appearance of DickensC．popularity of Dickens D．kindness of Dickens14．The purpose of writing this text is probably to ________.A．introduce Charles Dickens' life and deathB．encourage readers to read or reread Charles Dickens' worksC．present the similarities between Charles Dickens and other writersD．explain why Charles Dickens wrote so many books15．When people read Dickens' novels, they could ________．①meet the “little man” at the bottom of society in the UK①know about the social reality at that time①not be influenced by the works at all①think about how to make a difference to their societyA．①①①B．①①①C．①①①D．①①①Your mind has a deep connection with your body. If you are suffering from mental illness, it can influence your physical health.The following ways can help improve your mental(心理的) health.Practice optimism(乐观)The studies show that looking on the bright side of life is really good for you. People with optimism have a 35% less chance of having a heart disease. They are more likely to eat a healthy diet, exercise very often, have a stronger body and even live longer.Start volunteeringV olunteering reduces stress and improves your happiness. It can reduce the risk of cognitive(认知的)harm. Even if you have little time to offer, just the act of giving has been shown to improve your health, possibly by reducing your sense of pain.Be gratefulWe heard a lot about the advantages of thankfulness in the past. Our happiness protects us against depression which may make us feel sad and do nothing. One of the best ways to make thankfulness a part of your life is to keep a daily diary. Before you go to bed, write down any positive experience you had that day, no matter how small it is.Keep your social connectionsPeople who are more socially connected to family, friends and community are physically healthier, and they live longer than people who are less well connected.16．If you do some volunteering work, you will ________.A．have more pressure B．have less pressureC．feel more painful D．be full of sadness17．The underlined word “depression” means “________” in the passage.A．upset B．happiness C．anger D．excitement 18．Who do you think the writer is?A．A teacher.B．A singer.C．An engineer.D．A doctor. 19．What might be the best title(标题) for the passage?A．How to live longerB．How to keep a stronger bodyC．How to be happyD．How to improve mental healthWhen I was seven years old, my family made me an ant farm (蚂蚁窝). First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive.After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels (地道). I was amazed that each one knew well what to do. Each had its own job.On the fifth day, something terrible happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although (虽然) the ants kept alive after their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was frightened as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm.My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand (忍受) that their tunnels were gone.Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired (钦佩) for their hard work.But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another.Giving up is not a good choice.20．What did the writer’s family do for him when he was seven?A．They built a farm of ants.B．They bought a few ants.C．They caught a lot of ants.D．They found an ant city.21．Which of the following is WRONG according to (根据) the passage?A．Giving up isn’t a good way when we meet trouble.B．Like people, teamwork is very important for the ants.C．The ants didn’t die one by one after the tunnels were destroyed.D．The writer knocked the glass box over because he put his face so close to the glass farm. 22．What did the writer come to realize a few years later?A．Working together is useless.B．Teamwork is important.C．Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life,and must be accepted.D．Working alone is amazing. 23．What is the best title for the passage?A．Ants Fear Adversity B．My Family and AntsC．Giving Up in Adversity D．Don’t give up anytimeLittle stream (小河) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing (消失) into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,” she said sadly to herself.At this time, a deep voice said, “If a breeze (微风) can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “That’s because a breeze can fly, but I cannot.”“That’s because you stick to what you are. Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, and it can take you across,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The breeze can carry the vapor (蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,’’ said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of breeze. It carried her to the next stage of her life.The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are sometimes. 24．Before the stream reached the desert, she didn’t ________.A．believe in herself B．meet any diffcultiesC．want to cross the desert D．worry about the journey to the ocean 25．Who encouraged the little stream when she felt sad?A．The desert.B．The sun.C．The mountain.D．The breeze. 26．What does the underlined phrase stick to in third paragraph mean?A．粘贴B．坚持C．放弃D．展示27．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．Give up what you have.B．How to cross the desert.C．Change means success.D．The little stream and the desert.There was a young woman. She was proud of growing flowers in her yard. She had been brought up by her grandmother, who had taught her to love and care for flowers. So her yard was the most beautiful one in her village.One day, while looking through a flower list that she often ordered from, a picture of a plant immediately caught her eyes. She had never seen a flower like it before. “I have to have it,” she said to herself, and she immediately ordered it.When it arrived, she found a place to plant it. She planted it at the bottom of a stone wall at the back of her yard. It grew vigorously(旺盛地), with beautiful green leaves all over it. Day after day, she continued to take care of it, but there were no flowers.One morning, as she stood looking at the plant, she felt sad. She wanted to know why her plant had not bloomed(开花).However, at this moment, her disabled neighbour invited her to his yard and said, “Thank you so much). You can’t imagine how much I have enjoyed the flowers that you planted. “ The young woman walked through the gate into her neighbour’s yard. She saw that on the other side of the wall the plant was full of flowers.They were, indeed, the most beautiful flowers she had ever seen. The plant had grown up through the crevices(裂缝)in the wall.Just because you can’t see the results of your labour, it does not mean that there isn’t any fruit. 28．What was the young woman proud of?A．looking after her grandmother.B．Helping others.C．Growing flowers.D．Selling flowers.29．How did she feel when she found her plant had not bloomed?A．Lonely.B．Unhappy.C．Surprised.D．Bored.30．Why was the disabled neighbour thankful to the young woman?A．Because she often gave him some tasty food.B．Because she always helped him to do the housework.C．Because she taught him how to plant flowers.D．Because he enjoyed the flowers that she planted.参考答案1．C2．A 3．B 4．C5．C 6．B 7．B 8．D9．C 10．A 11．A 12．D13．C 14．B 15．C16．B 17．A 18．D 19．D20．A 21．C 22．B 23．D24．D25．A26．B27．C28．C29．B30．D第1页共9页。

新目标八年级下英语阅读理解专项练习二阅读理解6If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, and few of us know that it is just his own fault.Have you ever found that some people can' t read or write but usually they have better memories This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering.1. The main reason for one's poor memory is that his parents have poor memories.T F2. If you don't use your arms or legs for some time, they will become strong.T F3. A good memory comes from more practice.T F4. Some people can't read or write, but they have better memories, because they have saved trouble.T F5.

（一）Hi, Louis!I’m writing to tell you something about the customs and festivals.Everyone loves holidays since one doesn’t need to go to school or work. Although all holidays mean no school and work, but not all of them are the same. On some of them you go out with friends; on others you stay home to eat, talk, and have fun with your family. For example in the U.S., everyone thinks New Year’s Eve and New Year are both for partying with friends. Christmas is the time to stay home and exchange gifts with family members. The opposite is true in Japan though. For example, in Japan, New Year is for spending time with the family to eat, talk, have fun, and go to the temples. But Christmas is for boy and girl friends to go out and exchange gifts. Originally Christmas should be to celebrate the birth of Christ.I have been interested in foreign customs since I was little. If you learn these different holiday customs, you will learn about different histories and cultures. This is much more interesting than learning them at the library from morning to evening.Love,Sue 根据短文内容，判断正误。
