You wouldn't be able to recognize anyone - even members of your own family. You would live in a present forever.

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.

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经典题型带答案（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Did you know that each day one person in the USA throws away 4.4 pounds of rubbish? Almost every month, we throw away our own rubbish in packaging alone. Packaging （including boxes, bags, etc.）comes to our homes with the things we have bought. Several weeks ago, the TV news said that in a city in Italy tons of rubbish were piled up in the streets, and the smell was rather terrible. What can we do to help? We should get to know the following Rs.Reduce To reduce means to make less rubbish. That is one of the first things we all should do for the environment. Reduce your rubbish by doing things like packing your lunch in reusable containers（可再利用的容器）, taking smaller portions（份）at dinner so you don't waste food when you have had enough, writing on both sides of paper, and using less water when taking a shower.Reuse to reuse is to use things again. Think about the bags you get from the shop. They can be reused to carry your lunch, to hold your rubbish, or to collect used cans. You can even take them back to the school next time to carry your things instead of getting a new bag!Recycle（回收利用） Recycling is an important part of keeping our planet clean and green. It can also save energy. Be sure that you don't throw things in the rubbish bins that can be recycled to make something else Paper, plastic, cans and bottles can all be recycled. But food, electrical waste and mobile phones cant. When you are not sure whether something can be recycled, go to your parents and teachers for advice.Follow the three Rs, and every one of us can do something to save the Earth. It is also the best way to save ourselves.（1）The first paragraph of the passage implies（暗示） that ______.A. packaging should be given upB. Italy is too dirty for us to visitC. the USA produces the most rubbishD. the Earth is becoming dirtier（2）If you want to reduce, you should ______.A. make good use of your paperB. take a bath instead of a showerC. eat a small dinner every dayD. pack your lunch with newspapers（3）The writer seems to ask people to reuse the bags ______.A. only as rubbish bagsB. only for carrying other thingsC. mainly to have a cleaner worldD. mainly to save some money（4）Which of the following can be recycled?A. Food and bottles.B. Books and newspapers.C. Paper and mobile phones.D. Plastic and electrical waste.【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）C（4）B【解析】【分析】主要讲了处理垃圾的三者方式：减少垃圾、重复利用垃圾和回收利用垃圾。

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!

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.

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.
