人教版八年级英语上册阅读理解10篇（一）If you see someone fall onto the ground because of a heart problem, what will you do before doctors come? Chen Wenqiao set a good example when he was 14. He did CPR (心肺复苏) in his school and saved a man's life in 2013. Chen showed that it was quite useful to know how to do CPR.According to medical experts, there is a "golden period(黄金期)"—the first 4 minutes of a heart problem. During the time, CPR makes the biggest difference. Unluckily, only less than I percent of Chinese adults have known the skill of CPR, while many even have never heard of it. On August 24 of 2020, the Ministry of ERCSC made a joint guideline (联合指示) to ask all public schools to give first-aid(急救) courses, including (包括)CPR training.CPR is not hard to learn. All that one needs to do is how to watch and decide if a person is unconscious (失去知觉的), where to press on the patient's chest, and how to blow air through the mouth and into the lungs(肺).A 2017 study showed that 65 percent of Americans had received CPR training. In Switzerland, all people are asked to be trained in first aid, including CPR: tn Germany, everyone must be trained before getting their driver's license, which means about 80 percent of the country has received first-aid training. Forty percent of people in France are also trained in first aid.（）1. About CPR, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. It is very difficult to learn.B.

But they are less popular(不受欢迎) in the USA. In the USA, they eat take-away food, too, like fried(油炸的) chicken. But the most popular kind of take-away food is hamburger. It looks like bread with meat in it. Hamburgers are delicious. They are very popular in the world.Chinese food has different tastes and is usually very delicious.

Jim was very proud of two things. One was Jim's gold watch from his grandfather. The other was Della's hair. It almost made itself into a dress for her.Della wanted to buy Jim a Christmas gift. The only thing she thought valuable(有价值的) was her hair. She sold it, without thinking twice, for 20 dollars. She was going from one shop to another to find a gift for Jim. She saw a gold watch chain (链条) It was so perfect for his watch! She paid for it unhesitatingly and hurried home with the chain and 87 cents.At seven before the dinner, Jim stepped in and he was not smiling. He looked strangely at Della and said slowly,” You cut off your hair?”"Yes. I sold it for the gift so don’t be sad." Della answered "Oh, my dear, I also bought a gift for you,”Jim took out a paper bag from his coat. "If you open that, you may know how I felt when I came in.”White fingers opened the bag And then a cry of joy. And then a change to tears. For there lay The Comb---the combs that Della had seen in a shop window and loved for a long time.Della took out the gift for Jim. However, Jim smiled and said, "Let's put our Christmas gifts away and keep them a while. They are too nice to use now. I will buy my watch back someday.

Here is the reason: seabirds mainly live on fish. When there are fish in the nets, seabirds can smell fish from far away and fly to the nets to catch fish. As a result, they get caught in the nets and then die. These fishing nets kill at least 400,000 seabirds every year. Some seabirds are in great danger now.Scientists know that many seabirds don’t like to see other animals’ eyes. If they do, they will fly away. So they came up with an idea. They designed a floating buoy(浮标) with big eyes and made the eyes large enough so that all seabirds could see the eyes. Also, scientists made the eyes keep moving in the water, so birds coming from different places could see them easily and then flew away. Scientists tested the buoys in the water for 250 hours. The result showed that the eyes made 20%-30% of ducks leave, and some seabirds visited the water less even three weeks after scientists took away the buoys.The test showed success and hope, but scientists found that the eyes didn’t work for all kinds of seabirds. Some were not afraid of the eyes in the first place, and some came back again to fish finally. Scientists hope that they will build better eyes. There is a long way to go to save seabirds, but scientists will keep moving forward.（）1. The first paragraph mainly talks about _______.A. how fishermen fishB. how seabirds get fishC. why seabirds die in fishing nets（）2.

All ducks were afraid of the floating buoys with big eyes.B. Less than 400,000 seabirds died in these fishing nets.C. The floating buoys with big eyes worked for some seabirds.（）4. We can infer(推断) from the passage that scientists are _______ the eyes.A. sorry aboutB. hopeful aboutC. worried about（）5. What’s the best title for the passage?A. Are seabirds in danger?B. Why do we save seabirds?C. Can big eyes save seabirds?（五）What does taking the train mean to you? Perhaps it’s just a way of getting to your destination(目的地). In fact, the train itself can be part of the fun.On March 28, 2021, China’s first panda-themed tourist train left Chengdu in Sichuan for Zunyi in Guizhou. It soon became the talk of China with its special design and fun facilities(设施). The train is full of giant panda pictures. Attendants(乘务员) carry panda toys to move around and passengers(乘客) can try panda-shaped food, as well as Sichuan snacks. Some people call it a “mobile star hotel” because it has a bar, karaoke room, dance hall, and mahjong(麻将) room. Passengers can take showers and use its 5G network as well.Besides fun facilities, train travel appeals to people for other reasons. In the fast-paced times we live in, train travel is a good way to slow down. It gives you time and space to read, sleep, chat with friends, or simply do nothing but watch the changing scenery(风景) outside.Sheng Yawei, 26, once took the longest railway in the world — the Trans-Siberian(穿越西伯利亚的) Railway. Running from Moscow to Vladivostok, it takes six days. Sheng said, “It was like a time travel experience. Since the journey covers eight time zones(时区), I saw my watch go back suddenly.” He added, “The rivers, forests, mountains, and deserted countryside along the way made me feel peaceful.” Train travel is also filled with surprises. You might meet new people. Sheng met a Russian college student and they became friends. “I also met a cute boy who gave me melon seeds(瓜子). Though we didn’t understand each other’s language, it made me feel nice. Taking the train is very interesting. You don’t know who you’ll meet or what you’ll see. It’s a window to see the world,” he said.（）1. On the panda-themed train, passengers can NOT _______.A. have Sichuan snacksB. have a dancing partyC. take photos with real giant pandas（）2. People call the panda-themed train a “mobile star hotel” because of _______.A. its fun facilitiesB. its special foodC. its fast speed(速度)（）3. The underlined phrase “appeals to” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_______” in Chinese.A. 挑战B. 吸引C. 排斥（）4. In Sheng Yawei’s opinion, _______ made his travel full of surprises.A. watching the deserted countryside along the wayB. making friends with foreignersC. understanding a different language（）5. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The panda-themed tourist train.B. Travel experiences.C. Interesting train travels.（六）The next day was also cold and grey. Nobody talked much during breakfast. Mrs March was pale (苍白的) and red. The girls tried to hide their tears.Then Mr Brooke arrived with the carriage(四轮马车) and it was time for Mrs March to leave.She kissed her daughters one by one and said, “Keep busy, my dears, and never lose hope!"“Yes, Mother.""Meg. look after your sisters. If you need help, ask Mr Frence. Jo,be patient and cheerful, and write to me often. Beth and Amy, help with the housework and be obedient (服从的)”“Yes. Mother I Don't worry!"Mrs March got into the carriage and opened the window.“Goodbye, my dears!" she called as it drove away. The girls waved their hands cheerfully until the carriage turned the corner.Then, with sad faces and heavy hearts, they went back inside.“The house seems very empty now," said Meg.“Our motto(座右铭)is“Hope and keep busy'," said Jo brightly. She was trying to forget how sad she was feeling. “So I'm going to go and see Aunt March. What about you,Meg?"“I'm going to teach the Kings' children," replied Meg.“And Amy and I are going to help Hannah with the housework," said Beth.“I think anxiety (焦虑) is very interesting," Amy said seriously. Her remark made her sisters laugh, and they all started to feel a little better.（）1. When did the story happen?A. In the morning.B. In the afternoonC. In the evening.（）2. How many daughters did Mrs March have?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.（）3. Who was going to help Hannah with the housework?A. Beth.B. Meg.C. Amy and Beth.（）4. What does the underlined word remark mean in Chinese?A.话语B.表情C.态度（）5. According to the story, we can know that_________.A. it was hot and sunny that dayB. the girls felt unhappy when their mother leftC. Mr Brooke worked for Mrs March and her family（七）Almost every Chinese person can recite(背诵)the two lines of the famous poem,"Every grain on the plate comes from hard work." But sadly, many of us don't actually get the real meaning of these lines: Don't waste food.A CCTV program reported that the food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year. Do we have too much food? Absolutely not.According to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2011, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger (饥饿)every year.Chinese people are well-known for being friendly and generous (大方的)。

This is true of some of the things we say every day. For e_ample, ;How do you do?;;How are you?; This is what people say on meeting . Sometimes theystop and shake hands. ;How are you?; looks like a question. It is written with a question mark( 问号) after it. And sometimes ;How are you ?; is a question.One person may want to know if another is well or ill ----how his health is----and so on.When these ar questions they arealmost always said as if(好象)the person who says them wants an answer.But most of the time they are said in away which does not ask for anyanswer. When these words are said so, we do not answer ;I am tired,;or ;I have a bad cold,; or ;I am not well.; We say the samething back to the other person. ;How are you?;or ;Hello;.Such words are like a smile or awave of the hand.In the same way, when we meetsomeone in the morning we may say ;Good morning!; The weather may be very bad but we say ;Good morning!; and the other person will say;Good morning; back to us. We are not talking about the weather or about how good or bad the morning is.Again, when people are parting(分手), they may say ;Goodmorning!; or ;Good afternoon!; or ;Good evening!; or;Good night!; to one another instead of ;Good-bye!; Theyare not talking about the weather but saying ; May all be well with youat thistime!;You will find few people today who know that ;Good -bye!;is a short way of saying ;God be with you!;(上帝保佑你). But in times past, whenreligion (宗教)had moreplace than it now has in education, a child could be taught this very young aspart of his knowledge of English.( )1. When most of the time someonesays ;How are you!;, we shouldanswer ;________;.A. I amtired. B. I have a bad cold. C. I’m fine. D.

How do I know whatto do and what not to do?;Here are some e_amples ofthese things. They tell you what a person with good manners does or does notdo.He never laughs at peoplewhen they are in trouble. Instead he tries to help them. He is always kind, never cruel(残酷), either topeople or to animals. When people are waiting for a bus, or in a post office, he takes his turn. He does not push to the front ! On the bus, he gives his seat to an oldperson or a lady. If he, by accident, knocks someone, or gets in their way, hesays, ;E_cuse me; or ;I’m sorry;.He says ;Please;when he asks somebody to help. He says ;Thank you ; when he receives something. He stands up when he speaks to a lady or an older person. Andhedoes not sit down until the other person does. He does no talk or laugh loudlyin public.However, difficult countries havedifferent manners. When you enter ahouse in some Asian countries, it is good manners to take off your shoes. InEuropean countries, even thoughshoes sometimes become very dirty, this is not done. In Japan , the guest andhost bow to each other. But in some other countries they only nod or shake hands. A guest in a Chinese house seldom(很少) finishes a drink. He leaves a little to show that he has hadenough. In England, a guest alwaysfinishes a drink to show that he has enjoyed it.But no matter how differentthe manners are, people all over the world agree that good manners really meanto be kind and helpful to others, especially those older or weaker than themselves. If you remember this, you will not go for far wrong.( )1. When we talk to elderlypeople , we should stand until _________.A. they。

Three ways were found to keep meat from spoiling (腐烂.) : salting ( 盐) , drying, and freezing.People near salty waters salted their meat. At first they probably put dry salt on it, but this kept only the outside. Later they may have pickled (腌) their meat by putting it in salt water.In hot, dry places, men found that they could eat meat that had dried while it was still on the bones (骨头) .They later learned to cut meat into thin pieces and put it up to dry in the hot air.Men in cold places found that frozen (结冰的) meat didn't spoil. They could leave their meat outside and eat it when they pleased.( )1.

I‘ll cheat(作弊)in the maths exam, then I won‘t be in trouble.‖―I‘ll sit next to the boy who‘s best at maths,‖ he thought, ―and copy down his answers.‖ The day of the exam came, and Donald sat next to Brian Smith, who always was at the top of the class in maths. Donald carefully copied Brian‘s answers onto his own exam paper. At the end of the exam, the teacher collected the papers and graded(批改) them. Then she said, ―Well, boys and girls.

This is true of some of the things we say every day. For example, "How do you do?" "How are you?" This is what people say on meeting . Sometimes they stop and shake hands. "How are you?" looks like a question. It is written with a question mark( 问号) after it. And sometimes "How are you ?" is a question. One person may want to know if another is well or ill ----how his health is ----and so on.When these ar questions they are almost always said as if(好象）the person who says them wants an answer.But most of the time they are said in a way which does not ask for any answer. When these words are said so, we do not answer "I am tired," or "I have a bad cold," or "I am not well." We say the same thing back to the other person. "How are you?"or "Hello". Such words are like a smile or a wave of the hand.In the same way, when we meet someone in the morning we may say "Good morning!" The weather may be very bad but we say "Good morning!" and the other person will say "Good morning" back to us. We are not talking about the weather or about how good or bad the morning is.Again, when people are parting(分手), they may say "Good morning!" or "Good afternoon!" or "Good evening!" or "Good night!" to one another instead of "Good-bye!" They are not talking about the weather but saying " May all be well with you at this time!"You will find few people today who know that "Good -bye!" is a short way of saying "God be with you!"(上帝保佑你). But in times past, when religion (宗教)had more place than it now has in education, a child could be taught this very young as part of his knowledge of English. ( )1. When most of the time someone says "How are you!", we should answer "________".A. I am tired.B. I have a bad cold.C. I'm fine.D. I am not well.( )2. "Good morning!" is used in __________.A. talking about the weatherB. how good or bad the weather isC. the morningD. greeting when people meet in the morning( )3. We say "Good night!" when __________.A. we leave at nightB. we talk about the nightC. the weather is fine at nightD. people meet at night( )4. In the past, people often said "____________".A. Good -byeB. Good afternoonC. Good nightD. God be with you( )5. In the past, when a child was very young, he was taught_________.A. things about religionB. a short way of sayingC. things about weatherD. knowledge of EnglishJWe say that a person has good manners if he or she is polite kind and helpful to others. Everyone likes a person with good manners. But no one likes a person with bad or careless manners. "Yes" you say, " but what are good manners? How do I know what to do and what not to do?"Here are some examples of these things. They tell you what a person with good manners does or does not do.He never laughs at people when they are in trouble. Instead he tries to help them. He is always kind, never cruel(残酷), either to people or to animals. When people are waiting for a bus, or in a post office, he takes his turn. He does not push to the front ! On the bus, he gives his seatto an old person or a lady. If he, by accident, knocks someone, or gets in their way, he says, "Excuse me" or "I'm sorry".He says "Please" when he asks somebody to help. He says "Thank you " when he receives something. He stands up when he speaks to a lady or an older person. And he does not sit down until the other person does. He does no talk or laugh loudly in public.However, difficult countries have different manners. When you enter a house in some Asian countries, it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very dirty, this is not done. In Japan , the guest and host bow to each other. But in some other countries they only nod or shake hands. A guest in a Chinese house seldom(很少）finishes a drink. He leaves a little to show that he has had enough. In England, a guest always finishes a drink to show that he has enjoyed it.But no matter how different the manners are, people all over the world agree that good manners really mean to be kind and helpful to others, especially those older or weaker than themselves.

Also, machines don't ask for more money and longer holidays. In all of the countries of the world machines are taking work from people, not only in factories but also on farms.
