人教版八年级英语上册阅读理解12篇(一)Many animals migrate-they move over long ways, often at the same time and to the same place each year. They move to places where the weather is warmer, where there is more food and water, or where their young will be safer. Here are three amazing examples of migration: One of the largest animal migrations happens on the Serengeti plains(塞伦盖蒂平原) in Africa. More than one million wildebeest(角马) migrate in a big group. As the seasons change, they follow the rain, looking for better grass to eat and water to drink. They stay in one place while the grass and water are good, and then they move on. They return to the same places each year. Thousands of zebras and other animals travel with the wildebeest.Out of all migrating animals, Arctic terns(北极燕鸥) travel the longest way. These seabirds lay their eggs and raise their young in summer in the north of Europe, Asia and North America. Each year around August, they fly south over the oceans. They spend about five months near Antarctica, while it is warmer there. Then after the southern summer ends, they fly north again. Arctic terns travel more than 70.000 kilometers in a year.Salmon(蛙鱼) live most of their lives in the ocean. But when it’s time for them to lay their eggs, they return to the rivers where they were born. They move up rivers and streams to find the right place. Scientists think that the fish remember the special smell of their river, and this is how they find their way. Salmon can swim strongly up hills, and will jump high to get over waterfalls. ( )1．The word “migrate” means ________ in the first paragraph.A．移民B．迁徙B．C．搬家D．移动( )2．Animals migrate because ________.A．they need warmer weather B．they need foodC．they need good places to raise their young D．all of the above( )3．Arctic terns can travel ________ kilometers each year.A．5,000B．30,000C．over 70,000D．1 million( )4．Scientists think ________ helps salmon find their way as they migrate.A．the smell of the river B．the sound of the riverC．the warmth of the river D．the amount of water in the river答案详解本文介绍了角马、北极燕鸥和蛙鱼三个令人吃惊的迁徙例子。

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.

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.

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.

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)。

Last Thursday, we were going to buy lunch for the beggars (乞丐) in the street. I ordered 15 lunches from McDonald’s and decided to deliver them.We enjoyed what we saw in the street: a surprised and happy person holding up his lunch bag. Then we noticed a small old woman asking for food. We handed her our final lunch bag. As we got into the car, she started to speak to us. “No one has ever done anything like this for me before,” she said with a smile. “Well, I’m glad that we were the first,” I replied. “So, when will you eat your lunch?” I asked. She just looked at me with her huge, tired brown eyes and said, “Oh, honey, I’m not going to eat this lunch. You see, I have a little girl. I usually can’t afford to buy her the food she enjoys. But tonight s he will be so happy!”I don’t know if the woman noticed the tears(泪水) in my eyes. I have questioned many times whether our acts of kindness were too small to make a difference.

I slept in late every day. I worked on music and played video games. I wasn’t too lonely — I had my cat to play with, and I visited some of my friends around the city.Traveling is fun from time to time. But it’s also nice to just stay at home and relax.

There are a lot of new buildings now, but many of the old buildings are still there. In Weld Quay, a really old place in Georgetown, we saw the houses of the Chinese traders from 100 years ago. I wonder what life was like here in the past. I really enjoyed walking around the town.Tuesday, July 16thWhat a difference a day makes! My father and I decided to go to Penang Hill today. We wanted to walk up to the top, but then it started raining a little, so we decided to take the train. We waited over an hour for the train because there were too many people.

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. I belong to the generation who turned a blind eye to all the warnings.I wish this letter could go back in time and that it would make people living in the 2020s truly understand the importance of saving water.Best,Natalie 20．According to the writer, people keep their heads clean by _________ in the year 2070.A．getting their hair cut B．washing them oftenC．drinking enough water D．wearing hats every day21．The writer shows the water problem is serious by _________.A．telling stories B．listing numbersC．asking questions D．making comparisons22．The underlined word “guilty” probably means _________.A．angry B．sorry C．worried D．surprised23．By writing this letter, the writer mainly wants to ________.A．introduce the life in 2070 B．explain why people get sickC．warn people to save water D．tell her son about her childhood第7篇Soap operas and sitcoms are two kinds of popular TV shows. What are the differences between them?A soap opera is usually very long and has many episodes (集). All the episodes of a soap opera are interconnected. The first soap opera was on radio in the early 1920s. One of the most famous soap operas is Gossip Girl.A sitcom, or a situation comedy, is a set of funny stories.

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。

She sent her Hello Kitty doll into the sky early this month.

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。

英语八年级英语上册阅读理解（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What should you take with you when you take an exam? Pens, pen an eraser, a ruler, and don't forget a bottle of water.According to a study at the British Psychological（心理学的） Society Annual Conference heldin London, students who bring water into exam halls may improve their grades by up to 10 percent.Scientists at the University of East London and the University of Westminster, did a study on447 students. The students were studying for different degrees（学位） at the University of East London. Only 25 percent of them entered the exam hall with something to drink.Scientists then compared their exam results with their normal schoolwork grades. They foundthat all those who had brought drinks with them got better grades by between 2 and 10 percent.It is unclear why drinking water improves exam results. But scientists said having enough waterin our bodies and not feeling thirsty could have a positive effect on our brains. "Drinking water may also cut down on anxiety （焦虑）which had a bad effect on exam performances," said Chris Paw son, PhD of the University of East London."Whatever the explanation is, it is clear that students should try hard to stay hydrated（含水的） during exams," he said.So next time, when you are going to have a big exam, try bringing a bottle of water with you. Who knows—it may help you pass the exam!（1）How much may the students improve their grades most if they bring water into exam halls?A. By 2%B. By 8%C. By 10%D.

The one time I wasn’t sure of that was on September 11.I usually wake up a 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning. That day, I happened to wake up earlier. I turned on the TV and I saw that a plane had crashed (撞击) into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. My first reaction (反应) was that it was a terrible accident. Then I saw another plane fly into the South Tower and I realized that I was witnessing (目击) an act of terrorism.My wife and I spent the day watching the terrible pictures over again. When I watched family members looking for their loved ones, the pain in their eyes was something I would never forget. I couldn’t understand how something this terrible could have happened.It wasn’t until a few weeks after September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy (悲剧). People seem different now, more understanding, more tolerant(宽容的). Little things that seemed to be such a trouble before are no longer big things. Personally, I am more tolerant than I was. I realize life is too short, and too precious(珍贵的), to let myself get worried over small things. I’ve learned also that you can’t take things for granted. Things change in the blink of an eye. People go to work and don’t come back. One moment they’re living and the next minute they’re not. And, it doesn’t matter who you are, there is nothing you can do about it. We never know when our time here will be over, so we all need to make the most of every minute we have.You try to learn from what happened. You can’t be used up by it. You can’t live by it. All you can do is just live.1. The word “positive”in the passage probably means ______.A. terribleB. badC. goodD. real2. What did the writer see after he turned on the TV that morning?A. A fire startingB. A plane flyingC. A terrible accidentD. An act of terrorism.3. From September 11, the writer had realized that___________.A. people should make the most of every minute they haveB. he has become less tolerant towards othersC. he should get worried about little thingsD. life is too short to care about others.4. What’s t he best title of this passage?A. A Report about September 11B. The Tragedy of September 11C. September 11 and My FamilyD. September 11 and My Turn.参考答案CDAD第3篇My father is tall and has short gray hair. He wears glasses with heavy black frames(框). But I just saw a picture of him from 1968. What a surprise!

He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.The next important date in the history of photography (摄影术) was in 1837. That yeat ,Daguere,another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room .He used a new kind of camera in a differentway. In his picture you couild see exerything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype.Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s way. Travellers brought back wondeful photos from all around the world. People took picture of famous buildings, cities and mountains. In 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take picture of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example,somein the United Ststes worked so hard.Mathew Brady was a famous American photographers. He took many picture of gread people.The picture were unusual beause they were very lifelike(栩栩如生的). Photographers also became one kind of art by the end of the 19th century.

Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.“Cool”can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say “It's cool.”You may think, “He's so cool,”when you see your favourite footballer.We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new”or “surprising”. Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student's paper was just the one sentence, “It's so cool”. Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, somepeople have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.1. We know that the word “cool”has ________.A. only one meaningB. no meaningsC. many different meaningsD. the same meaning2.
