人教版八年级英语上册阅读理解12篇(一)Many animals migrate-they move over long ways, often at the same time and to the same place each year. They move to places where the weather is warmer, where there is more food and water, or where their young will be safer. Here are three amazing examples of migration: One of the largest animal migrations happens on the Serengeti plains(塞伦盖蒂平原) in Africa. More than one million wildebeest(角马) migrate in a big group. As the seasons change, they follow the rain, looking for better grass to eat and water to drink. They stay in one place while the grass and water are good, and then they move on. They return to the same places each year. Thousands of zebras and other animals travel with the wildebeest.Out of all migrating animals, Arctic terns(北极燕鸥) travel the longest way. These seabirds lay their eggs and raise their young in summer in the north of Europe, Asia and North America. Each year around August, they fly south over the oceans. They spend about five months near Antarctica, while it is warmer there. Then after the southern summer ends, they fly north again. Arctic terns travel more than 70.000 kilometers in a year.Salmon(蛙鱼) live most of their lives in the ocean. But when it’s time for them to lay their eggs, they return to the rivers where they were born. They move up rivers and streams to find the right place. Scientists think that the fish remember the special smell of their river, and this is how they find their way. Salmon can swim strongly up hills, and will jump high to get over waterfalls. ( )1．The word “migrate” means ________ in the first paragraph.A．移民B．迁徙B．C．搬家D．移动( )2．Animals migrate because ________.A．they need warmer weather B．they need foodC．they need good places to raise their young D．all of the above( )3．Arctic terns can travel ________ kilometers each year.A．5,000B．30,000C．over 70,000D．1 million( )4．Scientists think ________ helps salmon find their way as they migrate.A．the smell of the river B．the sound of the riverC．the warmth of the river D．the amount of water in the river答案详解本文介绍了角马、北极燕鸥和蛙鱼三个令人吃惊的迁徙例子。

The one time I wasn’t sure of that was on September 11.I usually wake up a 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning. That day, I happened to wake up earlier. I turned on the TV and I saw that a plane had crashed (撞击) into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. My first reaction (反应) was that it was a terrible accident. Then I saw another plane fly into the South Tower and I realized that I was witnessing (目击) an act of terrorism.My wife and I spent the day watching the terrible pictures over again. When I watched family members looking for their loved ones, the pain in their eyes was something I would never forget. I couldn’t understand how something this terrible could have happened.It wasn’t until a few weeks after September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy (悲剧). People seem different now, more understanding, more tolerant(宽容的). Little things that seemed to be such a trouble before are no longer big things. Personally, I am more tolerant than I was. I realize life is too short, and too precious(珍贵的), to let myself get worried over small things. I’ve learned also that you can’t take things for granted. Things change in the blink of an eye. People go to work and don’t come back. One moment they’re living and the next minute they’re not. And, it doesn’t matter who you are, there is nothing you can do about it. We never know when our time here will be over, so we all need to make the most of every minute we have.You try to learn from what happened. You can’t be used up by it. You can’t live by it. All you can do is just live.1. The word “positive”in the passage probably means ______.A. terribleB. badC. goodD. real2. What did the writer see after he turned on the TV that morning?A. A fire startingB. A plane flyingC. A terrible accidentD. An act of terrorism.3. From September 11, the writer had realized that___________.A. people should make the most of every minute they haveB. he has become less tolerant towards othersC. he should get worried about little thingsD. life is too short to care about others.4. What’s t he best title of this passage?A. A Report about September 11B. The Tragedy of September 11C. September 11 and My FamilyD. September 11 and My Turn.参考答案CDAD第3篇My father is tall and has short gray hair. He wears glasses with heavy black frames(框). But I just saw a picture of him from 1968. What a surprise!

That yeat ,Daguere,another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room .He used a new kind of camera in a differentway. In his picture you couild see exerything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype.Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s way. Travellers brought back wondeful photos from all around the world. People took picture of famous buildings, cities and mountains. In 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take picture of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines.

Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.“Cool”can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say “It's cool.”You may think, “He's so cool,”when you see your favourite footballer.We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new”or “surprising”. Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student's paper was just the one sentence, “It's so cool”. Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, somepeople have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.1.
