Perhaps he grunted（发出呼噜声）like a pig when he lifted something heavy. Perhaps he made sounds like those he heard all round him----water splashing（飞溅）, bees humming（嗡嗡作响声）, a stone falling to the ground. Somehow he learned to make words. As the centuries went by, he made more and more new words. This is what we mean by language.People living in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fifteen hundred different languages in the world. Each contains four or five hundred thousand words. But we do not need all these. Only a few thousand words are used in everyday life.The words you know are called your vocabulary. You should try to make your vocabulary bigger. Read as many books as you can.

八年级阅读理解题【模拟试题】（答题时间：120分钟）阅读理解练习：（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 , 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 though. For example, in , 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。

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. It is the most important first-aid.C. ht plays the biggest role during the first four minutes of a heart problem.（）2.What should we do when we are doing the CPR?①take a course ① blow air through the mouth and into the heart①press on the chest①find out if the person is unconsciousA.①①①B.①①①C.①①①（）3.

To show us the popularity (普及) of CPR.C.To ask us to help people with a heart attack（二）Fish and chips, and Chinese take-away food(熟食) are very popular in England. 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. It's also very popular in the world.（）1.What's the favourite food in the USA?A.Hamburger.B. Fish and chips.C. Fried chicken.（）2.What does hamburger look like?A.It looks like a mooncake.B.

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.

An interesting CoupleC.A special Christmas（四）When fishermen throw fishing nets(渔网) into the water, they catch not only different kinds of fishes, but also a lot of seabirds. 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. Scientists made the eyes keep moving to let _______ see them.A. birds with poor eyesightB. birds from different placesC. fish under water（）3. Which of the following is TRUE?A. 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)。

They thought those strange sounds were made by gods(神) in the sky.The ancient Chinese also flew kites to bring good luck and to make their crops(农作物) grow rich and tall. Sometimes they tied long strings (细绳) and hooks (钩) to their kites.

Chinese Kites.003 InternetWe are all busy talking about and using the Internet (因特网), but how many of us know the history of the Internet?Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks (网络) didn't work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system (系统) had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information(信息)could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time.At first the Internet was only used by the government (政府), but in the early 1970s, universities (大学), hospitals and banks (银行) were allowed (允许) to use it too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software (软件) that made "surfing" (浏览) the Internet more convenient (方便).Today it is easy to get on-line (上网) and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mail (电子邮件) is more and more popular among students.The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people's life.1. The Internet has a history of more than ___ years.A. sixtyB. tenC. thirtyD. twenty2. A new network system was set up to ____.A. make computers cheaperB. make itself keep on working all the timeC. break down the whole networkD. make computers large and expensive3. At first the Internet was only used by ______.A. the governmentB. universitiesC. hospitals and banksD. schools4. ______ made "surfing" the Internet more conve-nient.A. ComputersB. ScientistsC. SoftwareD. Information5. Which of the following is true?A. In the 1960s, computer networks worked well.B. In the early 1970s, the Internet was easy to use.C. Sending e-mail is now more popular among students than before.D. Today it's still not easy to get on-line.004 Pollution(污染)The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modem traffic and modern communication means (通讯设备). Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution (污染). To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up(用完) or the river was dirty in one place, Man moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.Air pollution is still the most serious. It's bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.Many countries are making rules (法规) to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal (煤) in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air.Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused (引起) by heavy traffic. It is sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in population at the same time.1. Our world is becoming much smaller ___.A. because the earth is being polluted day and night.B. thanks to science developmentC. because of the rise in populationD. because the earth is blown away by the wind every year2. Thousands of years ago, life was ____ it is today.A. much easier thanB. as easy asC. as hard asD. much harder than3. Pollution comes in many ways. We can even hear it.

Which of the following is NOT true?A. Many countries are making rules to fight pollution.B. The pollution of the earth grows as fast as the world's population does.C. If people could go to work by bus or bike instead of car or motorbike it would be helpful in fighting against the problem ofSO2.D. The problem of pollution is not so serious because there are not so many people living on the earth.005PeopleLong, long ago there were only a few thousand people in the world. These people move form place to place over the land, hunting animals for food.No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did, their lives changed. They did not have to look for food any more. They could stay in one place and grow it.People began to live near one another. And so the first village grew. Many people came to work in the villages. These villages grew very big. When machines appeared(出现), life in the villages changed again. Factories were built. More and more people lived near the factories.

初二英语阅读理解试题答案及解析1. Dear Dr. Smith,My mom always keeps asking me, “What’s going on?” If I want to go to a concert, she asks who I will go with. I think that’s my own business（事情）. Sometimes it looks like she doesn’t trust （信任）me. It makes me very sad. How can I get her to stop?Dear Katie,M any young people have the same problem as you. If you don’t talk much with your parents,they might feel they need to ask you questions to know about your life. It seems to you that your mom is getting into your business, but I think she’s just trying to k eep a close relationship（关系）with you. In fact, some experts（专家）often tell parents to stay close to their kids by asking them about what’s going on in their life.Some parents do this better than others, of course. But, unluckily, some parents ask questions because they don’t trust their kids. So start by trying to trust your mom. She is probably just trying to stay close to you because she loves and cares about you. You can have a talk with her about it.Of course, that doesn’t make the questions less boring. If you’re tired of so many questions, tell your mom about your feelings the day before she asks. If you offer more information, conversations with your mom won’t seem like she’s just asking you too many questions!If you do this, I’m sure you can get on well with your mom.Dr. Smith【1】Katie’s problem is that___________.A．she is sad about the person at the concertB．she doesn’t like or care about her motherC．her mother always asks her lots of questionsD．her mother doesn’t want her to make new frie nds【答案】C【解析】C细节理解题。

八年级阅读理解题【模拟试题】（答题时间：120分钟）阅读理解练习：（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。
