八年级英语上册阅读理解专题(含答案)（word）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Try to imagine a life without a memory. It would be impossible. You couldn't use a language, because you wouldn't remember the words. You couldn't understand a film, because you need to hold the first part of the story in your mind in order to understand the later parts. You wouldn't be able to recognize anyone - even members of your own family. You would live in a present forever. You would have no past and you wouldn't be able to imagine a future.Human beings have amazing memories. Besides all our memories about our own lives, we can recall （回忆）between 20,000 and 100,000 words in our own language as well as possibly thousands more in a foreign language. We have all kinds of information about different subjects such as history, science, and geography, and we have many skills such as driving a car or playing a musical instrument. All these things depend on our memory.How well you remember things depends on many different factors. Firstly, some people have better memories than others, in just the same way as some people are taller than others. Secondly, research shows that, you can store different things in different parts of the brain. Ideas, words, and numbers are stored in the left—hand side, while the right-hand side remembers pictures, sounds, and smells. In most people, one side of the brain is more developed than the other, and this may explain why some people can remember people's faces easily, but can't remember their names.（1）What does "store" mean in the last paragraph?A. 保存B. 翻译C. 吸收D. 隐藏（2）What does the first paragraph talk about?A. How to keep memory better.B. How the life would be without memory.C. How brain works to keep memory.D. How to remember things.（3）What can we learn from this passage?A. If we have no memory, we can use a lot of languages.B. We can remember our lives and keep a lot of information in our mind.C. All of people have good memories.D. People can remember words when they are using their right-hand brain.（4）Where can we probably read the passage?A. In an advertisement.B. In a storybook.C. In a magazine.D. In a news report.【答案】（1）A（2）B（3）B（4）C【解析】【分析】主要讲了记忆对人类的重要性，介绍了记忆在大脑不同区域的储存及记忆好取决于不同的因素。

I have just turned 50, but I look like a person of 85. I have serious kidney (肾脏) problems because I don’t have enough water to drink. I’m afraid I don’t have much time left to live. I am already one of the oldest people in this society.I remember when I was five years old, everything was very different. There were lots of trees in the parks. I could enjoy a shower for half an hour. At that time, women had beautiful hair. Now, we have to shave (剃) our heads to keep them clean without the use of water.I remember there were “Save Water” warnings in many public places, but nobody paid attention. We believed water would last forever. Now, all the rivers and lakes are either dry or polluted. Water is much more expensive than gold and diamonds.Without water, almost all factories are closed. Most people lose their jobs. Those who have a job work in desalination (脱盐) factories and are paid with drinkable water rather than with money.In the past, doctors suggested adults drink eight glasses of water a day. Nowadays, I am only allowed half a glass. Most people are weak. Young people in their early 20s look as if they were in their 40s.Because there are few trees, we don’t have enough oxygen. We have to pay for air. The air isn’t very fresh, but at least we can breathe. Poor people die young. The average (平均的) life expectancy is 40 years.When my son asks me about my childhood, I tell him about how pleasant it was to fish in the rivers and howhealthy people were. When he asks, “Why is there no clean water now?” I feel guilty.

We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorten than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively short period of time, so we may think that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brain a great deal. Even so, we will make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and finally we shall need large ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, especially the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to (倾向于) make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body totally as time goes by because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald(秃顶的).Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same. Although all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.43．The passage mainly tells us that ________.A．man’s life will be different from in the futureB．future man will look quite different from usC．man is growing taller and uglier as time passesD．the functions of man’s organs(器官) will function as well as today44．Which of the following serves as the proof(证据) that man is changing?A．Man’s hair is getting thinner and thinner.B．Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.C．Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.D．Man’s arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.45．The change in man’s size of forehead is probably because ________A．he makes use of only 20% of the brain’s capacity.B．the other 80% of his brain will grow in due(预定的) time.C．his brain has grown larger over the past centuries.D．he will use his brain more and more as time goes on.46．Which of the following is true about a human being in the future?A．He thinks and feels in different way.B．He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.C．He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.D．His fingers grow weaker because he doesn’t use them.47．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A．future life is always predictable(可预测的)B．human beings hope for a change in the future lifeC．human beings will became less attractive in the futureD．less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration(衰退)第12篇Let’s suppose it is a common day of 2060. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.Trips to the Moon are being made every day. Taking a holiday on the Moon today is as easy as taking a holiday in Europe in 2016. At a number of scenic spots (风景胜地) on the Moon, many hotels have been built. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the Moon, every room has at least one picture window.What are people eating now? People are still eating food. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill comes mainly from green plants.Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just using a few computers.People are now largely vegetarians, and they eat only bread, vegetables, fruit and so on and they don’t eat meat or fish. You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. So people have to be vegetarians. We are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know how to deal with all kinds of illness. No one has to be ill any more.Such would be our life in 2060.48．The passage mainly talks about________.A．trips to the Moon in 2060 B．developed farming in 2060C．what our lives would be like in 2060 D．what people would eat in 206049．We are healthier because of the following EXCEPT________.A．what we eat is green food B．we can treat any illnessC．we are largely vegetarians D．we run the farm by using computers第13篇Your summer vacation is coming.

And it has 79 moons. Some of its moons are like small planets, and others are pieces of rock and ice. Studying Jupiter’s moons has helped scientists learn more about the solar system. But the moon that scientists are most interested in is Europa.The conditions on Europa make it the most likely place beyond Earth to have life in our solar system. It is covered in a layer of ice, and some scientists believe a liquid (流动的) ocean lies under the icy surface. If this is true, Europa may have simple forms of life in these oceans. The creatures on Europa would probably be too small to see without a microscope (显微镜). But the idea of anything at all living on Europa is very exciting.Right now, we cannot explore Europa because it is too cold and too far away to send people there. The spacecrafts and robots we have are not dependable enough to land on the surface. But scientists have big plans. In the future, they hope to send one robot to melt (融化) some of the ice on Europa’s surface, and another robot to swim through its oceans. The information that these robots gather could help find out whether there is life in Europa’s oceans.If we eventually find some form of life on Europa, then it is almost certain that life formed independently in two places around the same star. If so, it would be reasonable to believe that life springs up in the universe quite easily once there are the necessary ingredients, and that life might be found throughout our galaxy (银河系), and the universe. If life were found on Europa, how might it change your view of the universe and our place in it? 54．What is the passage mostly about?A．Life on Europa. B．Jupiter’s many moons.C．Scientists’ search for new life.D．The problem with exploring outer space.55．What does the underlined “moon” mean in Pa ragraph 1?A．月球B．恒星C．行星D．卫星56．Europa is best described as ________.A．cool and dry B．icy and mysteriousC．warm and full of life D．cold and uninteresting57．Which of these explains why scientists think life could exist on Europa?A．Europa is one of Jupiter’s 79 moons.B．Jupiter is the solar system’s largest planet.C．Europa has a layer of ice that may have liquid below it.D．The creatures would be too small to see without a microscope.58．What can we infer from the passage?A．Scientists are most interested in Europa because of its size.B．Scientists will not be able to explore Europa until people are sent there.C．If creatures found on Europa were too small, scientists would be disappointed.D．If life were found on Europa, it might change man’s vi ew of his place in the universe.第15篇59．Thanksgiving Day often comes on ________.A．October 31st B．December 25th C．the fourth Thursday in November 60．Of all the festivals above, ________ comes last in a year.A．Christmas Day B．Thanksgiving Day C．Halloween61．From the form we know that Boy’s Day is celebrated in ________.A．Western countries B．the USA C．Japan参考答案1．A2．B 3．B4．B 5．A 6．C 7．B8．B 9．A 10．D 11．C 12．B13．A 14．C 15．A16．A 17．D 18．C 19．D20．A 21．D 22．B 23．C 24．B25．B26．A27．C28．A29．A30．B31．C32．C33．A34．D35．A36．B37．C38．D39．B40．D41．B42．A43．B44．C45．D46．C47．D48．C49．D50．D51．B52．A53．D54．C55．D56．B57．C58．D59．C60．A61．C答案第1页，共1页。
