If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of city to a dump（垃圾堆）.Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage （排污） system. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets（厕所）, bathtubs and other places.To keep mice（老鼠） and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you'd never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal （金属）. The mental can be reused and recycled. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles（堆）where they slowly change into something called humans, which looks like black earth.

成都七中八年级英语下册期末阅读理解汇编一、八年级英语下册阅读理解专项训练1．阅读理解It was the last day of the final examination in a college. On the steps of building, a group of engineering students were waiting for the last exam. On their faces was confidence.They knew the exam would be easy. The professor （教授）had said they could bring any books or notes during the test.Right after they came into the classroom, the professor handed out the papers. There were only five questions on it.Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was nervous expression. The professor watched the worried faces before him, and then asked, "How many of you have completed all five questions?" No hand was raised. "How many of you have answered four?" Still no hands. "Three? Two?" The students moved restlessly in their seats. "One, then? Certainly somebody has finished one." But the class kept silent. The professor said, "That is exactly what I expected. I just want to make you know clearly that even though you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the subject you don't know. These questions you could not answer are common in everyday practice." Then, smiling, he added, "You will all pass this course, but remember, your education has just begun."The years have obscured the name of this professor, but not the lesson he taught.（1）Why did the students think the exam was easy at first?A. Because it was their last exam in the college.B. Because they knew there were only five questions.C. Because they thought they were clever and talented.D. Because they were allowed to bring any books and notes.（2）What does the underlined word "obscured" mean in the last paragraph?A. 模糊B. 回忆C. 提醒D. 改变（3）What could the students learn from the last exam?A.

Some Confident StudentsB. An Easy ExamC. An Interesting ProfessorD. An Unforgettable Lesson2．阅读理解You don't have to be great to get started, but you have to get started to be great. I believe it is a normal thought in today's society to just let life happen to us. I also believe that we sometimes destroy（毁灭） our well-planned thoughts about success because it's easier to just continue as usual rather than "try" with the possible failure in mind.Most people never get moving because they don't know what they want. Without a certain result already set in your mind, it's really difficult to get going, and even if you do, your attentionmay soon disappear and you give up before long.Why not consider what's really important in your life? Write down what excites you, what would truly make you happy and what problems you have. At the end of the week, take a careful look at the notes you've taken .You'll soon begin to see a clearer picture of what direction you should be going towards.Knowledge is useless without action. You read many books but your life will stay the same if you don't use the knowledge. Knowledge is fantastic but it will not change your life until it is used.I love to read personal development material to keep a positive attitude（积极的态度）towards my life , but I also realize that if I don't set goals to achieve, then I will always be a talk the talk person who is great at giving advice but useless at realizing it .If you have no plans of practicing what you say, then it may be best to keep your mouth closed.Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask, Act! Action will explain you. Whatever excuses we have for not living up to our talent, the fact is that time will always move forward. Be whatever you want to be and whatever you can be. Always remember the only limits（限制）we have are the ones we create for ourselves. Life is not what we think. It is what we experience when we behave according to the thoughts we have.（1）What will happen if you have the possible failure in your mind?A. You will destroy your well-planned thoughts about success.B. You'll have great pressure and try not to make any mistakes.C. You will try your best and come up with a much better plan.D. You'll put all the opportunities to good use to try your plan.（2）In Paragraph Two, the writer wants to .A. tell us what people need to get successB. show us what people set in their mindC. talk about why people should practiceD. explain why people stop going ahead（3）What does the underlined part "a talk the talk person "mean in the passage?A. A person who is good at giving talks.B. A person who talks big but does nothing.C. A person who is active in talking.D. A person who is an energetic talker.（4）Which of the following is NOT true of the passage?A. Knowledge is fantastic when it's used, or it's useless.B. Knowledge is useless without action.C. Success always stops us from succeeding but ourselves.D. Action will tell you who you are.（5）What is the best title for the passage?A. See a Clear Picture of LifeB. Taking Actions Leads to SuccessC. Set Your Goals to AchieveD. Actions Speak Louder than Words3．阅读理解There are more than sixty cool places for kids in Virginia, and here are three of them.Busch Gardens is widely known for its roller coasters（过山车）.

This is understandable because the first house cats came from Africa.Cats first started to live around people in Egypt about 6,000 ~ 7,000 years ago. From Egypt, cats started to move around the world. At about the same time, Egyptians began storing grain（谷物） in buildings. Scientists used to believe that people tamed cats to catch mice and protect the grain. However, cats don't like to be told what to do! Now, scientists believed that eats followed the mice and learned to accept people. Finally, some of the cats began to grow comfortably around people. These were smaller cats that needed protection. As these cats and people got used to each other, they moved in together. Around 5,000 years ago, eats started to live with people.Soon cats were in Greece, then the Middle East and China. They moved along Egyptian business roads keeping away mice and keeping people around them. After the Romans came to Egypt, they also accepted the cats and brought them to Europe. These cats likely bred（繁殖）with other cats to form the many kinds of house cats we have today.Cats are relatively recent house animals. House cats still have a lot in common with their wild relatives. Cats sleep a lot to save energy just like wild cats. They often get food at night as well. House cats are generally peaceful and friendly, but be careful! If a cat feels it is in danger, it will fight back—just like a wild cat.（1）Where did the first house cats come from?A. Asia.B. Africa.C. Europe.D.

The birds fly around from room to room, some cackling, others talking like humans. Though they all have big cages, Brian lets them fly freely inside the house.Over the years, Brian has developed a special relationship with birds. The birds who bite other humans, seem to like him and can get along with him well.

成都市七中育才学校八年级英语下册期末阅读理解汇编一、八年级英语下册阅读理解专项训练1．阅读理解As space science develops, man has learned more and more about space. Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger as well as success.Scientists have found out that the radiation（辐射）is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of the radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The harm of the radiation won't be found until their children even grandchildren are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but no really effective medicine has been found so far. Space rubbish is also thought to be a great danger to spacemen. It's reported that there were 9,000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are satellites, 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space rubbish. An explosion（爆炸） in space in 1999 made a cloud of 300,000fragments, each at least 4mm in size. A small piece of these even knocked a spaceship window and caused some damage（损坏）.Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working to deal with space rubbish. Although space is really dangerous, it interests many people on the earth. In the near future, it may become possible for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. People may even choose to leave the earth and live in space in a few years. So scientists are doing everything they can to help improve the space environment.（1）How many kinds of dangers in space does the passage mention?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.（2）Which of the following is TRUE?A. Scientists have found out many ways to solve problems in space.B. People can have a travel to space or even live in space in ten years.C. The harm of the radiation may be found in the spacemen's children.D. Space is really dangerous, so it only interests scientists on the earth.（3）______ shows the man-made things in space in the correct way.A. B.C. D.（4）The main purpose of this passage is to ______.A. introduce what the space environment is like nowB. warn us the dangers in the space environment nowC. tell us spacemen are working hard to improve the space environmentD. explain why space rubbish has caused lots of damage to the environment2．阅读理解Perhaps you've already watched or heard about Readers, a TV show that has recently become popular. It invites different people to read aloud on the stage, as well as tell the touching stories behind them. They can read everything, like poems（诗）, book, and letters.Many people are fans of the show and begin to enjoy reading aloud at home. Now the show gives people a special place to read across China. Reading pavilions（亭）are now in cities like Shanghai, Hangzhou and Xi'an.The pavilion is quite small. Only one person can come into it each time. There is a microphone in it and it records people's voices. Everyone can read anything they like for three minutes in the pavilion. The show will later pick some of the readers and invite them to read on TV.People of all ages have come and read in the pavilion, according to People's Daily. " Reading should be just like singing and talking," said Dong Qing, the host of the show. "We can actually express our deep feelings through reading aloud."Both the TV show and the pavilion are encouraging reading among the public, reported China Youth Daily. In fact, this is also what our country is trying to do now. During the two sessions（两会）this month, deputy（代表）Lu Yaping suggested（建设）that a national reading day be set up. Many other deputies agreed with it.（1）Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?A. Reader is a popular TV show.B. People can only read poems on Reader.C.

A man goes shopping because he needs something. He will decide what to buy in advance. He knows what he wants, and his aim is to find it and buy it. Most men simply walk into a shop and ask someone for what they want. If the shop has it, and the price is good, they often finish shopping in less than five minutes, to everyone's satisfaction.For a man, some problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants. At that time, the salesman tries to sell the man something else. He offers something that is almost the same as the article the man wants. Good salespeople say, "I know this jacket is not what you really want, sir, but would you like to try it for size. It happens to be the color you like." Most men don't care about this and may answer, "This may be the right color and the right size, but I won't waste my time trying it on."For a woman, it is different. Most of the time, she goes shopping not because she needs something. She hasn't decided what she wants before she goes shopping. She just goes to "have a look around". At first, she thinks about finding something that everyone will say "It looks good on you." Most women are always looking for bargains（特价商品）. A woman may easily spend an hour looking at dresses before she wants to try on. It is a tiresome（令人厌烦的） process. Most clothes stores provide chairs for the waiting husbands.（1）According to the underlined sentence in the first paragraph, we know that men decide what they want .A. before they go shoppingB. after they go into shopsC. right awayD. after thinking about it for a while（2）What does "… but I won't waste my time trying it on" mean in the secon d paragraph?A. The jacket is not the right color.B. The man has no time.C. The jacket is not what the man wants.D.
