八年级英语上册阅读理解专项练习综合一、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Are you the kind of person that loves studying new grammar rules? Or do you dislike doing grammar exercises? Whether you love it or dislike it learning and practising grammar will help you improve your spoken and written English. Using grammar correctly is also very useful for passing exams! Here are some tips for learning grammar:Don't worry about making mistakes. Every time someone corrects you, you learn something new. Do you know which mistakes you make most? Make a list(清单) of your mistakes and pay special attention to them.Be patient. Maybe you can do the practice exercises, but when you're speaking you don't have time to think about the correct grammar. Don't worry, that's completely normal! If someone explains(解释) to you exactly how to swim, can you just get in the water and swim without practising? Of course not! It's just the same with grammar. The more you practise, the better you'll be.Read and listen to English as much as possible. Think about grammar when you're reading and listening. Do you notice any differences between your language and English? Knowing what the differences are will help you get English grammar right.Practise, practise, and practise! Try to use the new grammar you have learnt immediately. When you do the practice exercises, try writing a sentence of your own, and use that grammar next time you're speaking. This will help you remember new grammar very well.(1)What's the passage about?A. Some advice on how to learn English well.B. Some tips on how to pass exams.C. Some advice on how to learn grammar.D.

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。

A seabird named Lydia recently made a 26-day nonstop(不间断的)journey of about 2,500 mi-les, just to search for food for her baby. She is fitted with a satellite tracking device (卫星跟踪仪). Her trip started on Oct. 18 from Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean.

They wonder why she needed to go that far. Maybe it shows that fish resources (资源)around Christmas Island are not large enough now. That might explain the slow decline of the bird 一 sea pollution(污染) is serious.(1)Why did Lydia make such a long and nonstop journey?(2)How far does this kind of birds usually fly at a time?(3)What do you know about the number of this kind of seabirds?(4)What do the scientists think Lydia’s long journey may show?(5)What can we learn from Lydia's journey?(请自拟一句话作答)2.阅读理解Mother's Day is a holiday for mothers.
