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 As space science develops, man has learned more and more about space. Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger as well as success. Scientists have found out that the radiation(辐射) is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of the radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The harm of the radiation won't be found until their children even grandchildren are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but no really effective medicine has been found so far. Space rubbish is also thought to be a great danger to spacemen. It's reported that there were 9,000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are satellites, 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space rubbish. An explosion(爆炸) in space in 1999 made a cloud of 300,000fragments, each at least 4mm in size. A small piece of these even knocked a spaceship window and caused some damage(损坏). Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working to deal with space rubbish. Although space is really dangerous, it interests many people on the earth. In the near future, it may become possible for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. People may even choose to leave the earth and live in space in a few years. So scientists are doing everything they can to help improve the space environment. (1)How many kinds of dangers in space does the passage mention? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. (2)Which of the following is TRUE? A. Scientists have found out many ways to solve problems in space. B. People can have a travel to space or even live in space in ten years. C. The harm of the radiation may be found in the spacemen's children. D. Space is really dangerous, so it only interests scientists on the earth. (3)______ shows the man-made things in space in the correct way.

In fact, it is really good for us to get up early every day. Maybe those who don’t like getting up early will not believe this, but it is true. Scientists made a survey(调查)in about one thousand people, and then they found that early rising people had less disease than late rising people, and early rising people also looked healthier than late rising people, and so on.So we may know early rising is helpful in more than one way. Firstly, it helps to keep us healthy. We all need fresh air. And air is the freshest early in the morning. Besides, it is useful to do morning exercises.Secondly, early rising helps us in our studies. In the morning we learn more quickly and find it easier to understand what we learn.Thirdly, early rising can give us a plan of our work for the day. We cannot work well without a good plan.Fourthly, early rising gives us enough time to get ready for our work, such as to wash our hands and faces and eat our breakfast.Late risers may find it difficult to form the habit of early rising. They have to make an effort(努力)to do so. As the English proverb(谚语)says, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”()11.We may read this passage in a________ magazine.A.health B.sports C.music D.travel()12.Air is the freshest________ according to the passage.A.in the morning B.in the afternoon C.in the evening D.all day()13.Which of the following is NOT the result of early rising?A.People can get ready for their work.

D.People can have enough food for breakfast.()14.If a man always likes to get up late, it’s________for him to form the habit of getting up early.A.easy B.difficult C.happy D.sad(二)What's the best thing to eat on a hot summer day?Quite a few people will say it isice-cream. Yes, eating ice-cream with some fruit is a good way to cool down.But think before you eat. If your body is hot from playing sports, it s not the best time to eat ice-cream.If you eat ice-cream when your body is hot, it may give your stomach some problems, and you may get diarrhea( 腹泻). You can eat some ice cream after you cool down or have some tea. Just try not to eat too much at a time!People shouldn't eat or drink anything cold just after dinner. If you want to stay cool and healthy ,oranges, bananas and pears can help.In summer,germs(细菌)grow very fast and food goes bad easily. You should eat clean and fresh food. When you want to eat a cold dish, put some vinegar(醋)to disinfect(杀菌)it.If you can’t finish your food and want to eat it again next day, you should heat it enough to kill the germs in it.()15.What can help you cool down?A.Vinegar B.Tea C.Vegetables D.Ice-creamA.just after dinner B.in the afternoonC.after you cool down D.when your body is very hot()17.If you, you may get diarrhea.A.eat too much food B.eat ice-cream when your body is hotC.eat some fruit after dinner D.drink lots of hot tea after dinner()18.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Vinegar can kill germs.

D.When you want to eat the food you don't finish, you needn't heat it.()19.What's the best title for this passage?A.How to Cool Down B.Some Useful Fruit C.Delicious Ice-cream D.Eating Right in Summer (三)Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.This is an old English saying. Have you heard of it before? I mean that we must go to bed early and get up early in the morning. Then we shall be healthy. We shall also be rich (wealthy) and clever (wise).This is true. The body must have enough sleep to be healthy. Children of young age should have ten hours' sleep every night. Children who do not have enough sleep cannot do their work very well. They will not be wise and they may not become wealthy!The body also needs exercise. Walking, running, jumping, swimming and playing games are all exercise. Exercise keeps the body strong.Exercise also helps the blood(血液) to move around inside the body. This is very important. Our blood takes food to all parts of our body. The head also needs blood. Exercise helps us to think better!()20.If we get up early and go to bed early,we'll ________.A.have enough exercise B.be healthyC.think better D.have strong blood()21.If a child doesn't have 10 hours' sleep,maybe he ________.A.becomes wise B.won't do well in his workC.goes to school in time D.has enough sleep()22.A person needs exercise because ________.A.it makes him healthy B.he has a lot of homework to doC.he is strong enough D.he does exercise()23.Exercise makes the ________ move quickly and smoothly(流畅).A.body B.blood C.children D.Head()24.Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A.Exercise does good to a person's head.

When I was young, one of my biggest dreams was to live in a house made out of candy. After so many years, I finally got a chance (机会) to live out my childhood dream at Sugar Republic, a popular candy museum in Melbourne(墨尔本). If you want to go there , remember that it is closed on Wednesday. And it is open from10 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is free for Children who are 2 years old and under. The cost of kids aged 3-16 is $25, adults $35. You can book online only. When I walked through the door, I felt like I had entered a whole new world. The first thing that caught my eye was a big gumball (口香糖球) machine. However, you could not get any gumballs from it. Instead, you could become a gumball yourself by climbing inside it! Many kids were playing inside. They happily threw gumballs at each other. If you like taking pictures, you would not be able to put down your camera here. A pink swing (秋千) and a huge birthday cake were just a few of the amazing things I saw. I really liked playing inside the cake. You could jump out of it and throw sprinkles (糖粒) everywhere. I wished it had been a real cake! The best part was the ball pit (球池). I had never thought about playing in a ball pit as a teenager, although I often did so in my childhood. But there I was, diving (冲) in and kicking balls around. All in all, it was really a wonderful experience(经历). I loved it! BY LI LANGJING, 15, KOROWA 1.
