牛津译林版八年级上册英语期末复习：阅读理解专项练习题ⅠAEveryone needs friends. As the old saying goes, "Friendship is one mind in two bodies."But how can you find a real friendship and keep it? The Care and Keeping of Friends written by American author Nadine Bernard Westcott tells young students some smart ways to find friends.First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good fiend should do his or her best to help you. To make friends, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.But things cannot always be happy. Even best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, you can have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk with you, you may write a letter. Nadine says there are three steps about being friends again: tell him or her how you are feeling, say what you have done (已经做) wrong, and explain (解释) why you did this or that.The book also gives advice on some small but important things like celebrating your friend’s success (成功) .Even if you haven’t had a real fiend before, you will tart to think about having one if you read this book, because the book tells that friendship is the most important thing in your life.1.A good friend should ______ .A. have a lot of moneyB. be good-lookingC. be kind and patientD. be successful2.You can take ______ steps to fix a broken friendship.A.2B.3C.4D.53. What can’t you do if your good friend has done wrong?A. Write a letter to him or her.B. Have an honest talk with him or her.C. Tell him or her how you feelD. Have a fight with him or her.4.The writer of the passage really wants to tell us ______ .A. life is great if you have friendsB. an old sayingC. Nadine is an American writerD. what makes a good friendBI still remembered my first day of second grade. I walked into the classroom. No teacher yet. Girls were talking. Boys were trying to kill each other. I took some paper and a pencil, picked a desk, and went to work. Minutes later, a girl came over and sat on top of my desk. "What’re you doing?" she said. "Writing to 100," I replied."Is that you can do?" "No," I said. Then when I stand up from my seat to get my pencil sharpener, the desk fell over and hurt her leg.Her name was Jane. From that day on, she was my best fiend. Many years later, after college, I moved to California. Jane stayed in our hometown to be a social worker. We were friends for more than 50years. After her death seven years ago, I still think of her often, especially at the start of the school year.TV ads try to tell us what children need for school-new shoes, clothes, schoolbags.But rally, children’s needs are simple. They need the gift of friendship. For years, I feared how people saw me. But one day, I understood. I didn’t need to be smart or pretty or popular. I just needed to be kind.My grandson Henry recently finished his preschool and got a prize for "Friendship". Even an Olympic medal wouldn’t make me prouder! I think children need to know that they are loved. They need to know that they have all hey need and the best way to win friends is to be one5. After she came into the classroom, the writer ______ .A. went to talk with Jane quicklyB. helped Jane write the numbersC. worked quietly at her desk aloneD. asked the boys to stop fighting6.From the passage we know that ______ .A. the writer’s leg was hurt on the first day of schoolB. the two girls were close friends for many yearsC.

My best friend JaneB. How to choose friendsC. My first day at schoolD. Friendship is importantⅡAIn ancient India, there was an emperor (皇帝) named Akbar. He liked to ask his people strange questions. It was very hard to answer these questions and few people could answer them correctly.Once, he asked a very strange question. None of his people knew the answer. At this moment, a man named Birbal came to the emperor. "May I ask what the question is?" Birbal asked. Akbar said, "How many crows are there in this city?" Birbal answered quickly, "There are 50,589crows,my lord.""How can you be so sure?" asked Akbar. Birbal said, "Make your man count, my lord. If you find a greater number of crows than I gave, it means some have come to visit their friends here. If you find a smaller number of crows, it means some have gone to visit their friends elsewhere."Akbar was very happy with Birbal’s answer. Some questions may seem quite difficult, but actually they are open-ended ones. We just have to think about them in a cleverer way, as Birbal did.1.

But you are not sure who would be friendly and let you sit with them.Natalie Hampton, an 1lth-grader from Sherman Oaks. Calif. designed a new app called Sit With Us. It makes finding friends in the school lunchroom very easy. The free app went online on Sep.9. Students can sign up as "ambassadors" (大使) for a club. Then they can post "open lunch" events to invite others to join in.Natalie got the idea to create the app after she ate alone every day in her old school. The experience (经历) made her feel sad and she was even bullied. She changed schools because of that.People may want to know why you don’t just ask to sit down. Natalie said the app stops kids from being rejected (被拒绝) in front of others."This way it’s very private. It’s through the phone. No one else has to know. And you know that going up to a table won’t end in rejection," she said.So far, the app works well."I had my first club meeting, and everyone was very excited. People are already posting open lunches at my school. So I’m very excited," Natalie said.6.

And one event made our visit seem truly magical.We got to the front of the line at Space Mountain, only to find out that our little daughter Gloria couldn't take her ice cream on the ride. We were so excited that we all forgot ice cream was not allowed on the ride.Gloria broke into tears and we all had no idea what to do. Then Murphy, one of the staff (员工) members, came over. She bent down and told Gloria that she would hold the ice cream for her and give it to her when she finished the ride. Gloria said, "Promise?" Then she gave Murphy her ice cream, and she completely enjoyed the ride. Sure enough, as we walked out of the exit, there was Gloria's new friend with "her" ice cream. Now you and I both know what happened, because we know that an ice cream won't last twenty minutes on a summer afternoon in Florida. Murphy knew what time we would get off the ride; she went to the nearest shop and bought a brand-new ice cream thirty seconds before we walked out of the exit. Gloria said "thank you", but I'm sure she thought it was the same ice cream.We know that someone tried hard to make our visit special.

Some used their tails for balance and had two feet and two small arms,and they were often meat-eaters.We can only know about the lives of dinosaurs from fossils (化石) ) , eggs and foot prints they left behind.

It is also the first city in the US to join the "Lights Out Plan". Last month people turned off the lights in the city’s tall buildings so that thousands of birds could get to their winter homes.There areover9,000kinds of birds in the world,and about 600 kinds of birdsmigrate. Every year in autumn. some birds fly over Chicago on their way to the south,and come back the next spring. Birds migrate for several reasons. Many birds cannot live in the cold,so they fly to warmer places. But there are other reasons too. Birds need to find more food and have babies in the south. Many birds like to have their baby birds in the same"house"they lived in last year,so they fly back there.Usually birds find their way by looking at the stars in the sky at night. Lights in tall buildings are so bright that birds may mistake them for stars. Unluckily, this may make them lose their way. So Chicago decided to take action to help those poor birds. Turning off lights really gives birds a hand.1. Why did people in Chicago turn off their lights?A. Because they wanted to save money.B. Because they liked the dark night.C. Because they were afraid that birds would make much noise.D. Because they were afraid that birds would lose their way.2. What does the underlined word"migrate"mean in Chinese?A. 迁徙B. 定居C. 冬眠D. 重生3. The passage says that birds find their way by ______ .A. following the windB. looking at stars at nightC. remembering the cities on their wayD. looking at the lights in tall buildings4. Which of the following is NOT a reason for bird migration?A. They can’t live in cold winter.B. They need to find food in thesouth.C. They want to find their family members.D. They give birth to babies in the south.5. We probably read the passage in ______ .A. a storybookB. a history bookC. a newspaperD. a travelling bookBMany of us enjoy watching birds flying in the sky. But do you know they can teach us?Geese, for example, teach a very good lesson about teamwork. In the fall, Canada geese (加拿大黑雁) fly to the warm south to get away from Canada’s cold winter. They lift off in no order. Yet quickly they form (形成) a V shape with one bird leading the group.This V shape allows geese to save energy. When the lead bird moves its wings up and down, the resulting force of air lifts the next one. This continues down the line. The lead bird in front has the hardest job. When it gets tired i moves behind and another bird moves to the front. By sharing the role the group can travel great distances.During the long flying journey geese communicate with each other. They honk (鸣叫) from behind to encourage the birds up front to keep up the speed.What can we learn from the lovely geese’s experience and skills? ______6. Why do geese form a V shape while flying?A. To keep warmB. To save energy.C. To make them get tiredD. To get more food.7. Which bird in the picture works the hardest?A. aB. bC. cD. d8.

Every morning the farmer fed Bill in one corner and then fed Ben in another corner. This went on for many years. One day the farmer decided to do a little test. When the two donkeys were sleeping, the farmer tied a rope around Bill's neck. Then he tied the other end of the rope around Ben's neck. Hethen put some oats (donkeys' favourite food) in Bill's corner and in Ben's corner.When the two donkeys woke up, they were quite surprised to find a rope around their necks.

Ben walked off towards his corner.Well after 10metres, he donkeys stopped. The rope was too short. First Bill pulled hard and Ben slid away from his food. But then Ben pulled and Bill slid away from his food. This went on for hours. The donkeys were getting weaker and weaker, but still hey pulled and pulled. Then Bill had an idea. "Hey. Ben" he shouted. "Why not come over the fence to my corner and we can eat my oats together? Then we go to your corner and eat your oats together. ""Good idea. Bill" said Ben.
