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.

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. E xperts 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.

英语八年级英语上册阅读理解经典一、八年级英语上册阅读理解专项练习(含答案解析)1.阅读理解A few years ago, Masaru Ibuka, the head of Sony, was at a company planning meeting. Suddenly he had an idea. He stopped the meeting an asked everyone what would happen if Sony took away the recording function and speakers and sold headphones with a tape player instead. Almost everyone thought he was silly. However Ibuka kept his idea and worked at it. The result, of course, turned out to be the successful Sony Walkman.Good ideas often start with a really silly question. Bill Bowerman was making breakfast one day. As he stood there making cakes for his son, he asked himself what would happen if he put rubber into his mold(模具) Later, he tried it and the result was something like the bottom of most sports shoes we see today. Still, when he took his idea to several shoe companies, he was laughed at. In fact, every single company turned him down. Though rather disappointed, Bowerman went on to form his own company, making NIKE sports shoes.We know today, of course, that each of these ideas caused a successful thing that has changed the way many of us live. The best questions are usually open-ended and are often silly. Children aren't afraid to ask such questions, but adults usually are. Think how different the world might be if people never asked "silly" questions!(1)At first, almost everyone thought Masaru's idea was _______.A. goodB. easyC. sillyD. difficult(2)Bill Bowerman got his idea _______.A. at a meetingB. while he was making breakfastC. from another companyD. while he was making sports shoes(3)What might the underlined phrase "turn down" mean?A. refuseB. welcomeC. acceptD. hate(4)Bowerman felt very disappointed because _______.A. he didn't make a cake for his sonB. he had to set up his own companyC. his idea was hard to come trueD. no companies accepted his idea【答案】(1)C(2)B(3)A(4)D【解析】【分析】大意:本文举例说明好想法的产生刚开始会被认为是一个愚蠢的问题,刚开始索尼公司的负责人井深在公司规划会议上提出,拿走录音功能和扬声器和专注于出售带有磁带录音机的头式耳机,几乎所有人都认为他是愚蠢的,不过,井深保持自己的想法和工作,当然,结果是成功的索尼随身听的问世。

However, when she first walked past the students in the school, her excitement turned to fear, and then to loneliness(孤独) over the next few days. "Why didn't anyone say 'hi' to me or invite me to his or her lunch table? Is it because of my clothes or my hair?" she wondered. Almost every day during the first week, Anna stayed alone, thinking that there must have been something wrong with her or that nobody saw her at all!What caused Anna's problem? The reason was that nobody knew her. Most people don't like talking with strangers. So it's your job to volunteer to make contact with people who you want to know. The easiest way to catch their attention is to notice them first. Make eye contact with them, and smile at them. When you smile at them, you are doing your best to show your kindness to them, and they are sure to understand that you are saying, "Hey, how's everything going?" In thisway, you are taking the first step towards the road to friendship.When Anna realized this, she started talking to her classmates. Guess what happened? It really worked. She had made two friends by the end of the month.In fact, saying "hi" or making friends with strangers is not hard. And the joy it brings you is really great. So try to open your heart to strangers!(1)Which of the following shows the change in Anna's feelings?A. excited→afraid→lonely→happyB. happy→lonely→sad→proudC. afraid→relaxed→nervous→happyD. nervous→angry→happy→sad(2)The underlined word "contact" in Paragraph 2 means .A. agreeB. greetC. praiseD. communicate(3)According to the writer's opinion, which is the easiest way to catch others' attention?A. Doing something for them.B. Making yourself cool.C. Noticing them first.D. Talking to them.(4)What can we learn from the passage?A. Loneliness is a common problem these days.B. Teenagers can't get along well with each other.C. Opening our heart to strangers can help us get friends.D. It's hard to take the first step towards the road to friendship.3.阅读理解Bike-sharing has swept across China, with an increasing number of people choosing bike riding instead of driving. The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it, and those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smartphone and left anywhere in public. Bike-sharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily.In some cities, we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharing-bikes. It's very convenient to use the bikes if you have a smartphone. First, you have to download such an app on your smartphone. Then what you need to do is find a nearest hike through the app, scan the QR code on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection. You will find the bike can be unlocked itself. Then you can enjoy your trip. What's more, the greatest advantage of hike- sharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend. Normally, every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesn't cost so much, does it?At the same time, some people park the hikes in their own homes. Besides, some people don't value the bikes. Now service companies are trying to solve the problems like being stolen.Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles. We have to say bike- sharing brings us more convenience without doubt. And we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also put it to good use.(1)From the first paragraph, we know ______.A. bike-sharing is invented in ChinaB. sharing-bikes are used by some peopleC. most people in cities don t driveD. sharing-bikes can be borrowed anywhere(2)II you want to use a sharing-bike, you must _________ first.A. have a smartphone and download an appB. download an app and pay for the tripC. unlock the bike and download an appD. find a nearest bike and borrow it from anyone(3)Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?A.

Bike-sharing is a kind of green transport.(4)The passage probably comes from a ________.A. science textbookB. tourist guideC. website news reportD. restaurant menu 4.阅读理解Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to make money for my schooling.One day, my mother was sewing a quilt(缝被子).I silently sat beside her."Mom, is there love between you and Dad? "I asked in a very low voice.With surprise in her eyes, she stopped her work for a while. Then she said, "Susan, look at this thread(线).It can hardly be seen, but it's really there. It makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, love should be a thread. Love is inside."I couldn't understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.After they were back, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road every day. They were so kind to each other and it seemed they were the happiest couple.After two months my father still couldn't walk by himself."Dad, how are you feeling now?

Others grow up small and unhealthy. In search of food, hungry deer move closer to where humans live. They eatfarm crops, vegetables and even trees. Besides, increased numbers of deer near roads can cause traffic accidents.People admire the grace and fast speed of deer. Most people don't want these animals to be hungry and ill. Should people take action to control the growing deer populations?Should People Take Direct Action?Many people think that hunting(打猎) is the best way to control the animal populations. Wildlife managers will see if there's enough food in an area and decide its carrying capacity(容量). Then hunters with licenses are sent to help control the number of deer. Hunting is usually not allowed in cities or suburbs, however.Some people have the idea to catch the deer and move them to other places. But this methodis expensive and requires finding another place that can accept the deer without breaking the balance of ecosystem(生态系统).Scientists are also working to develop chemicals(化学药品) to control the birth rate(率)in deer populations. But this plan works for only one year at a time.Should People Take Indirect Action?Some suggest bringing in natural enemies of deer, such as wolves, lions and bears, to areas with too many deer. But these animals could also hurt dogs, cats, and even humans. Other communities have built tall fences(篱笆) around areas to keep out the deer. However, this is impossible for farmers.▲Some people are against any kind of action. They support leaving the deer alone. Animal populations in an area naturally go up and down over time. Doing nothing means that some deer will die of hunger or illness. But finally, the population will reach a size within the carrying capacity(容量) of the environment. So, let nature go its own way.(1)According to the passage, increased numbers of deer can bring to people in the area.A. water pollutionB. traffic accidentsC. serious illnessesD. growing populations(2)Which of the following is the best to fill in the " ▲ " in the passage?A. Should People Do Nothing?B. Should People Protect the Deer?C. Should People Take Special Action?D. Should People Drive the Deer Away?(3)The writer most probably agrees that .A. farmers can build fences to keep the deer outB. people should leave the deer alone in the wildC. hunting is the best way to control the deer populationsD. it's great to catch the deer and move them to other places(4)The writer organizes this passage by .A. telling storiesB. using numbersC. giving opinionsD. describing scenes (场景)7.阅读理解By Anna Matteo28 January, 2019A 3-year-old boy who was lost in the woods for two days is now safe at home with his family.

Some colors can make people feel relaxed, and some colors can make people feel nervous. Now, this kind of knowledge is being used in many places. For example, school walls are always painted green because green makes students feel relaxed. It is also good for the students' eyes. Some books are also green or light blue for the same reason.

Many fast food restaurants have red furniture or walls. Soft colors like pink and light blue make people feel relaxed, so they spend more time eating. Loud music may be nice at first, but it soon makes people want to leave. Hard seats also make customers want to eat quickly and leave. Many restaurants, especially fast food restaurants, use this knowledge to make customers eat faster.(1)How does the color green make the students feel?A. Hungry.B. Nervous.C. Angry.D.

Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟).Don't argue (争辩) with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something.You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!(1)According to the passage who have a communication problem?A. parents and other peopleB. only school kids and their parentsC. teachers and their studentsD. parents and children of all ages(2)How many pieces of advice does the writer give us to bridge the generation gap?A. 5.B. 4.C. 3.D. 2.(3)The underlined word "bridge" in the passage means "___________".A. 建立B. 消除C. 通过D. 到达(4)If the values of your parents are different from those of yours, you'd better ___________.A. argue with themB. keep away from themC. agree with them all the timeD. tell your parents what you care about(5)The best title for the passage is ___________.A.

Living in a modern Asian city is not very different from livingin an American city. But it is different from living on farms however.In many parts of the world, farmers and their families live in villages or towns. In the United States, however, each family lives on its own fields and often can't see any neighbor. Instead of traveling from a village to the fields every morning. American farmers stay on their land all theweek. They travel to the nearest town on Saturdays for shopping or on Sundays for church. Thechildren ride on horses to large schools which serve all of the farm families living in the area. In some areas there are some small schools serving a few families and the children walk to school.Of course, life keeps changing for everyone including farmers. Today there are cars, good roads, radios and TV sets. And of course, there are modern machines for faming now. All these have greatly changed farmers’ life.Before, farming in America was often a lonely way of living for a long time. Farmers had todeal with their own problems, instead of getting help from others. They learned to try new ways,and thought of their own ideas instead of following old ways.54. Where do the farmers live in the United States?A. VillagesB. TownsC. BuildingsD. Fields55. Why do the farmers in America travel to the nearest town on Saturdays?A. Because they want to meet friendsB. Because they want to buy somethingC. Because they want to go churchD. Because they want to sell fruit56. What are the lives of the farmers in America like today?A. They have a modern lifeB. They don’t change their livesC. They have a lonely way of livingD. They have many problems about their lives57. Which sentence is TRUE according to the passage?A. The life in the cities should be the same.B. There is no difference between cities.C. The life on the farm is different in different countries.D. The life on farms doesn’t change all the time.CHaving a husband means an extra seven hours of housework each week for women, according to a new study.For men, getting married saves an hour of housework a week. "It's a well-known pattern(模式)," said lead researcher Frank Stafford at University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research. "Men usually work mo re outside the home, while women take on more of the housework."He points out that differences among households(家庭) exist. But in general, marriage means more housework for women and less for men. "And the situation gets worse for women when they have children," Stafford said.Overall, times are changing in the American home. In 1976, women busied themselves with26 weekly hours of housework, compared with 17 hours in 2005. Men are taking on more housework, more than doubling their housework hours from 6 in 1976 to 13 in 2005.Single women in their 20s and 30s did the least housework, about 12 weekly hours, while married women in their 60s and 70s did the most-about 21 hours a week.Men showed a somewhat different pattern, with older men picking up the broom(扫帚) more often than younger men. Single men worked the hardest around the house, more than that of all other age groups of married men.Having children increases housework even further. With more than three children, for example, wives took on more of the extra work, clocking about 28 hours a week compared with husbands'10 hours.58. According to the "well-known pattern" in Paragraph 1, a married man ________.A. takes on heavier workB. does more houseworkC. is the main breadwinnerD. is the master of the house59. How many hours of housework did men do every week in the 1970s?A. About 23.B. About 28.C. About 13.D. About 6.60. What kind of man is doing most housework according to the text?A. An unmarried man.B. An older married man.C. A younger married man.D. A married man with children.61. What can we conclude from Stafford's research?A. Marriage gives men less freedom.B. Marriage has effects on job choices.C. Housework sharing changes over time.D. Having children means doubled housework.DIt is difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible(有责任的) for housework, but with one of the following suggestions, you really can get your childrento help at home.If you give your children the impression(印象) that they can never do anything right, then they will treat themselves as unable persons. Unless children believe they can succeed, they will never become totally independent(独立).My daughter Mary's fifth-grade teacher made every child in her class feel good When students received less than a perfect test score, she would point out what they had mastered and said they could learn what they had missed.You can use the same way when you evaluate(评价) your child's work at home. Do not always scold but give lots of praise to your children instead. Talk about what he has done right,not about what he hasn't done. If your child completes a difficult task, promise him a Sunday tripor a ball game with Dad.Learning is a process(过程) of trying and failing and trying and succeeding. If you teach your children not to fear a mistake of failure, they will learn faster and achieve success at last.62. The whole passage deals with ________.A. social educationB. school educationC. family educationD. pre-school education63. The author thinks that ________.A. there is no way to get children to help at homeB. the more encouragement and praise you give, the more responsible and helpful childrenwill becomeC. it is very difficult to make children responsible for houseworkD. children can be forced to help with housework64. The passage gives us a good suggestion about how to evaluate your child's work at home. That is to ____.A. praise his hard workB. promise him a tripC. give him a punishmentD. promise him a ball game65. Through the last paragraph, we can conclude that ________.A. pride goes before a fallB. practice makes perfectC. no pains, no gainsD. failure is the mother of success51~53 DCB 54~57 DBAC 58~61 CDAC 62~65 CBADAShopping in Wonder Commercial Mall will be cheaper and more enjoyable on November 11.4-hour free parking.Showing your If you spend more than 200 yuan in the mall, you can get 4 hours’ free parking shopping tickets to the service desk is OK.50% discount(折扣)If you have a VIP card, you can get 50% discount on any clothes you buy.

How you feel is controlled by many things, such as your personality, the actions (行动) of others. Maybe you don’t know the weather can affect your feelings as well.People often say they feel good when the sun is shining and sad when it is cloudy. In fact, sunlight makes us feel good. When sunlight hits our skins, our bodies make vitamin D. Vitamin D helps ourbodies make a special chemical. This special chemical affects our brains and makes us feel happy.However, there are long dark winters of little sunlight in Sweden and Norway, so many people inthese countries often feel sad. To help the people in these countries feel better, scientists buildspecial “sunrooms” for people to go there and get “sunlight” for an hour or two!The weather can also affect people’s feelings in other ways. Hot weather can make people angry because they don’t feel comfortable. In the same way, rain can make people angry because peoplehate to be wet all over. As you can see, the weather can have an effect on the chemicals whichcontrol our brains and affect our feelings. Sadly, only the weather can change us, we cannot changethe weather.54.

we break our promises.This behavior is called “bedtime procrastination”(睡眠拖延症),and results from being short of self-control and our body clock.Bedtime procrastination is a common problem.According to a study,among 2,400 people,53 percent of them couldn't follow their sleeping time they had planned,delaying(推迟)it at least twice a week.They delayed bedtime not because they liked to stay up late,but they couldn't stop doing some other things.Accordingly,people who usually have trouble resisting temptations(抵制诱惑)and adhering to their intentions(坚持己见)are more likely to delay going to

on sleep,scientists studied the sleep patterns(模式)of 108 people.It was found that those who got up late are more likely to delay their bedtime than those who woke up early every morning.And more surprisingly,night owls(夜猫子)would go to bed late at the very beginning of the weekday,even though they had to get up early for work and school.It's their special body clock that plays a part in

A man was selling medicine at a fair(集市).At first he sold bottles of a cure(药剂)for colds(感冒)for just a dollar a bottle.

Then another person cried,“Yes,you look as if you're at least sixty years old.“Thank you,sir,thank you,the man answered,“I'm so glad you said that.My real age is three hundred and twenty-nine.
