8上Unit3 阅读理解8篇Passage 1(2023秋·全国·八年级专题练习)Are you shy sometimes? The answer from 16-year-old Liu Yuexian is “Yes”. “When my teacher asked me to come to the blackboard, I was too nervous to work out the problem,” said Liu. “I thought everyone was looking at me.”Do you feel the same as Liu? Experts have found that more than 80 per cent of middle school students feel afraid to be the centre of attention. Shyness means feeling frightened when you’re around other people. Some kids are born shy. Some become shy later because of their life experiences. It’s OK if it takes you a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people.In fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. It’s just a case of how much. Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy. But some become so shy that they won’t go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay for their food. Some are afraid of meeting new people, so they seldom go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn’t a very big problem. Some experts say shy people are smarter because they think more and talk less. Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people. You see, being shy isn’t all bad. But remember not to let good opportunities pass you by just because of it. If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practise spoken English in front of others, just do it! There’s nothing to be afraid of.1.________ of middle school students feel afraid to be the centre of attention.A.Less than 80% B.More than 80% C.Less than 60% D.All2.What does the underlined word “frightened” mean?A.兴奋的B.勇敢的C.自信的D.害怕的3.What can we learn from the third paragraph?A.Shyness can’t st op you from doing something you want to do.B.Being shy isn’t a very big problem.C.If shyness stops you from doing something you want to do, it is bad for you.D.All kinds of shyness are good for you.4.Why are shy people smarter according to some experts?A.Because they are good at working.B.Because they think less and talk more.C.Because they think more and talk less.D.Because they can speak in front of others.5.What’s the passage mainly about?A.Shyness is bad for everyone.B.Shyness is not all bad and we should be brave.C.Shyness is good for everyone.D.We should practise spoken English by ourselves.Passage 2(2023秋·全国·八年级专题练习)As time goes by, are you still the same person you used to be? Many of you would think you are. But according to a new study, your personality can change greatly. You could be a completely different person at 77, compared to when you were a 14-year-old, reported The Huffington Post.Psychologists at the UK’s University of Edinburgh did the study on a group of Scottish peop le. The research found that almost everyone’s personality changed when they grew old. The findings are published in a journal called Psychology and Aging.The research is based on a study that began in 1950. A group of teachers gave more than 1,200 14-year-old students personality tests. They tested six basic personality traits: self-confidence, conscientiousness, perseverance, desire to excel, creativity and moods.In 2012, researchers successfully found 174 of the 1,200 students, who were 77 years old on average at the time. They agreed to take a personality test similar to the one they had completed 63 years earlier.Researchers then compared the then-and-now test results. They were surprised to find great changes to all six personality traits of these people. Moods and conscientiousness had changed less. But there were still not too many similarities between the two results.The younger and older self seemed to be totally different for each person. It was “as if the second tests had been given to differen t people,” the study’s authors noted.In the past, personality was widely believed to be stable. William James, the father of American psychology, said that personality is “set like plaster”. This new study may bring some fresh ideas to the theory.6.Psych ologists at the UK’s University of Edinburgh did a study on________.A.Chinese people B.Scottish peopleC.British people D.American people7.In the study in 1950, teachers gave more than 1,200 14-year-old students________ tests.A.sight B.language C.personality D.oral English8.How many basic personality traits did the teachers test in 1950?A.One.

B.Everyone has the same personality.C.Personality may change as people grow older. D.The results of the study are the same.Passage 3(2023秋·全国·八年级专题练习)What makes us who we are? This question has two typical answers. One is the environment that surrounds us when we grow up, and the other is our genes. In English, this is called the “nature vs nurture debate”. Nature means genes, whereas nurture means environment, including the people around you.There is a famous saying: “Give me a child until the age of 7 and I’ll show you the man.” The meaning is that the environment in the early part of our life has the biggest effect on our adult life. Now, there is scientific research to support this famous saying.Scientists at the universities of Exeter, UK and Hamburg, Germany did studies on birds. They found that their personalities were affected most by the birds around them when they grew up—more so than genes. They watched small birds in new environments, and wrote down how much they explored. Birds that grew up with very curious birds were more curious themselves.Nick Royle from the University of Exeter in the UK said the research was surprising because it shows that “for these birds, personality is mainly determined by environment.” However, human personalities are a lot more comp licated than birds, so there is much we still don’t know. The nature vs nurture debate will continue for a longtime, if not forever.11.According to the first paragraph, nature means ________, and nurture means________.A.environment; genes B.genes; environmentC.child; adult D.adult; child12.________ has great impact on our adult life.A.The environment in our early life B.The environment in our old lifeC.The gene in our early life D.The gene in our adult life13.Scientists from the two universities did studies on________.A.human B.adults C.birds D.children14.The study in the third paragraph tells us________.A.gene is the most important to the birds’ personalityB.environment is the most important to the birds’ personalityC.the personality of birds is not related to environmentD.the personality of birds is not related to gene15.Human personalities are________birds.A.simpler than B.more complicated thanC.less complicated than D.as simple asPassage 4(2023秋·全国·八年级专题练习)Every country shares things in common: we value family and laughter, cherish food and health, and celebrate large festivals and traditions. Yet within the similar things we share, there are unique parts of each country. One characteristic that is famous of British people is their sense of humor, particularly self-mockery.This is a type of humor that criticizes and undervalues oneself. For example, a fat person may joke: “I’m on a new sea food diet. If I see food, I eat it.” This is a well-known self-mockery joke. Famous British writer Oscar Wilde once said: “I am so clever that sometimes I don’t understand a word that I am saying.”It’s difficult to say why self-mockery is tied to the British people. But every nation’s sense of humor comes from its culture and history. It could come from another British characteristic, modesty, meaning to not highlight or talk openly about your skills. This seems to be something that is similar with the Chinese people, where modesty plays a big part in daily life.It also acts as a defense of our self-esteem by playing down our skills. This can lessen the chances of people criticizing us.Another possible reason is that on average, the British people don’t take themselves too seriously. So mocking themselves is simply a healthy result of this.16.________ is a characteristic among British people.A.Self-mockery B.Laughing at othersC.Cooking D.Modesty17.The two examples in the second paragraph can be called “________”.A.overvaluation B.self-mockery C.skill D.criticism18.Every nation’s sense of humor comes from its ________.A.history B.culture C.history and culture D.economy and culture19.For Chinese people, ________is important in daily life.A.joke B.modesty C.criticism D.self-mockery20.Self-mockery can________.A.reduce our abilitiesB.make others criticize usC.lessen the chances of people criticizing usD.enhance our skillsPassage 5(2022秋·八年级校考单元测试)Friends are very important in everyone’s life because friends are always there when we need them. It’s great to have many friends, and I can’t thi nk about my life without my friends.My best friend is Lisa. When I first met her, I was five. She is one year older than me.

D.Smart.25.What can we learn from the passage?A.Lisa is taller than Molly.B.Molly is more beautiful than Lisa.C.Lisa has brown hair and blue eyes.D.Molly is happy to have a friend like Lisa.Passage 6(2022秋·八年级课时练习)We know that we live in a society, so we need a lot of friends. I think that a great friend is like a great artist who can change my feeling about life greatly. When I talk about the person who influenced(影响)me most, I must think of Wang Tao. He is my unforgettable(难忘的)friend in my life. He is good at study and looks handsome.He is kind-hearted and is always ready to help others. But he doesn’t like others to praise(称赞)him, because he thinks what he did is common. There is an old saying: A friend in need is a friend indeed. Wang Tao sets a goodexample in many parts in my life.I remembered that my math was mediocre at that time, but he was excellent in math. He often got high grades, but I could only reach 70 percent. Since we talked all day long, he was kind and polite to answer my math questions. Slowly, I did well in math. Then we became friends naturally.There are two kinds of friends, good and bad. Bad friends may make our life fail while good ones make our life successful. To me, Wang Tao is a very good friend.

Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our full attention(注意力).When people are talking, just listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most of the time caring about it iseven more important than understanding it. It has taken me a long time to believe in the power of saying and meaning “I’m so sorry” when someone is sad.One of my friends told me that when she tried to tell her story, people often broke in to tell her that something similar happened to them even when she didn’t finish her words. For some reasons, her sadness became a story about them. In the end, she stopped talking to most people. We connect through listening. When we break into what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care.This easy thing isn’t that easy to learn. When I was young, I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the answer. A loving silence(沉默)often has more power to comfort and to connect than the kindest words.36.In the writer’s eyes, the most important thing we can give people is__________.A.plenty of money B.lots of freedom C.full attention D.a smile 37.We should__________ when our friends are sad.A.share our sad stories with them B.listen to their stories and say “I’m so sorry”C.let them enjoy the silence and not talk about it D.tell them something interesting to make them happyA.打断B.拒绝C.畏惧D.同意39.What can we know from the passage?A.The only connection between people is listening.B.Caring about what people say is more important than understanding it.C.People want others to share their feeling when they are telling their stories.D.People listen because they are too shy to speak or don’t know the answer.40.What’s th e main idea of the passage?A.Being a good listener makes you a good talker.B.Listening to people isn’t something easy to learn.C.Most listeners are too shy to show themselves.D.Sometimes a loving silence does a better job than beautiful words.参考答案:1.B 2.D 3.C 4.C 5.B【导语】本文主要介绍了不同程度的害羞对人的影响,并建议读者不要害怕,不要畏惧与人沟通和展示自己,要大胆一点。

It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance (救护车). It is exactly the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."If we carry our burdens (负担) all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier."What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again."We have to put down the burden sometimes, so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on.So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down.

But after a little practice he found that he was becoming very skilled and soon he was making some of the finest tacks.Old Mr. Smith died and the son on account of the war lost all his goods. He had to leave home and wasforced to live in another country. It so happened that in this village there were many shoemakers who were spending a lot of money buying tacks for their shoes and even at times when they paid high prices they were not always able to get what they wanted, because in that part of the country there was a high demand for soldiers’ shoes.Our young Mr. Smith, who was finding it difficult to earn his daily bread, remembered that once upon a time he had learned the art of making tacks and had the sudden idea of making a bargain with the shoemakers. He told them that he would make the tacks if they would help to get him settled in the workshop. The shoemakers were only too glad of the offer.

A good beginning makes a good ending.D. Every man has his gift.答案:CDB5In the early days of human history, people survived by hunting wild animals, or gathering wild grains and plants for food. Then, some people learned to grow crops and raise animals for food. They were the first farmers.From the sixteenth century on, the word “farm” has meant agricultural land. But a much older meaning of the word “farm” is linked to economics. The word “farm” comes from the Latin word “firma”, which means an unchanging payment. E xperts say the earliest meaning of the English word “farm” was a yearly payment made as a tax or rent.Farmers in early England did not own their land. They paid every year to use agricultural lands. In England, farmers used hawthorn trees along the edges of houses. They called this row of hawthorns a hedge. Hedging fields was how careful farmers marked and protected them. Soon, people began to use the word “hedging” to describe steps that could be taken to protect against financial loss. Hedging is common among gamblers who make large bets. A gambler bets a lot of money on one team. But, to be on the safe side, he also places a smaller bet on the other team, to reduce a possible loss.You might say that someone is hedging his bet when he invests in several different kinds of business. One business may fail, but likely not all. Farmers know that it is necessary to make hay while the sun shines. Hay has to be cut and gathered when it is dry. So a wise farmer never postpones gathering his hay when the sun is shining. Rain may soon appear. A wise person copies the farmer. He works when conditions are right.1.We can know from the 3rd paragraph that farmers in early England _________.A. had land of their ownB. paid to use hawthorn trees every yearC. used hedging fieldsD. often suffered from financial loss2.Which of the following is wise?A. A mother tries to sleep as soon as her baby is quietB. Hay has to be cut and gathered before it is dryC. Put off gathering hay when the sun is shiningD. Gather hay as it is rainy3.If a boy is carefully listening to his teacher in class, he learns to _________.A. become a wise farmerB. hedge his betC. gather his hayD. make hay while the sun shines答案:CAD6My grandfather is eighty years old. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better."Families aren't what they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If the husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now parents are both busy working. No one has time to look after children at home.And the cars! No one walks anymore. More and more people drive. We used to walk five miles to school on school days, even in winter. But now we don't. And in school, children don't have to think anymore. In math class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide by using our heads. But now kids don't use their heads anymore. Instead, they use calculators.Most families have computers now. In the past we didn't have computers. We didn't even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now we don't often eat home-cooked food.And people talk less to each other than before. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think...Life used to be simple, but it isn't anymore."1. What does the grandfather think of the life now?A. It's as good as it used to beB. It's worse than it used to beC. It's better than it used to beD. It's the same as it used to be2. What does the underlined word "marriage" mean in Chinese?A. 生活B. 工作C. 婚姻D. 家庭3.

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. The trip is known as the lon-gest nonstop journey by one of these endangered seabirds.Before that, this kind of birds was known only to fly a few hundred miles from where they live, staying away for just a few days at a time. They usually fly over the sea.The scientists feel it strange that Lydia made such a long, nonstop journey and flew overland. So the above facts raise some serious questions about efforts to stop the decline(减少)of the birds. The number of the birds has fallen by 10 percent over the past 20 years.Besides, the scientists are surprised that she was away from her baby for such a long time. 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.

八年级上册Unit1 阅读理解 10篇一、阅读单选(2023秋·全国·八年级专题练习)Vacation in the sunFor over a year, I had not left my house because of the pandemic. I dreamed of a getaway.Luckily, my best friend was also thinking of getting out of Los Angeles and invited me to go to Hawaii with her family. After two COVID-19 tests and a double-masked five-hour flight, our five-person group arrived on the Big Island in Hawaii.We packed into a car and drove to our rental (租的) house. It was late at night, so we didn’t really see the island until the next day. Our first day was bright and sunny, so we spent all day at the beach before getting shaved ice (刨冰).We found possibly the best shaved ice place on the island. Big Island Shaved Ice Company (BISIC) has homemade, natural shaved ice flavors (口味) such as passion fruit (百香果), lychee (荔枝), coconut and mango. Unsurprisingly, we visited the place every day.Other than the delicious dessert, Hawaii treated (招待) us to cloudy, sometimes rainy weather on the days we planned to go hiking to waterfalls, and sunny weather on the days we planned to head to the beaches (where I got very, very sunburned). My favorite activity, though, was when we went horseback riding. We saw bright green fields and breathtaking views of the island’s shoreline (海岸线). I rode a horse named Arya. Along the way, our guide told us interesting stories about the island.Although I was sad to leave, after a week of laughter and fun, I was more prepared to go back into quarantine (隔离).1.The author hadn’t left his house for o ver a year because of the________.A.study B.work C.pandemic D.war2.The author’s best friend invited him to go to ________.A.Los Angeles B.HawaiiC.Taiwan D.England3.How many COVID-19 tests did the author have before arriving in Hawaii?A.One.

They have drive-in movie theaters and drive-through restaurants. And they also drive for vacations. They often call it the “Great American Road Trip”: the whole family gets into a car or recreational vehicle (RV, 旅行房车), and goes on a summertime trip across the country.American cars are always big, but RVs are the biggest. These are houses on wheels. RVs have kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms. All across the country you can find RV parks. They are places to park your RV and spend the night. And, if you can’t find a good park, you can always make your home in a grocery store parking lot.When your little brother kicks you in the face all night in your small bed under the table, a big RV can seem very small. And, when the dog barks (吠) and Mom plays her country music on the radio——your family is not at its best. What’s worse, RVs are always breaking down.But RV travel can be a great time with the family, too. You can see the country in the comfort of your own “home”. You can spend every night in a different scenic (景色的) place, or just stay where you are. You don’t have to pay for hotels or restaurants, only gas. But, best of all, you are free to go wherever you want whenever you want in your home-away-from-home.6.Americans love to ________.A.cook B.drive C.shop D.sleep7.RVs are________ cars in America.A.smaller than B.not as big asC.bigger than D.the same as8.RVs have kitchens, bathrooms and________.A.parks B.bedroomsC.living rooms D.classrooms9.What is one of the disadvantages of the RV?A.It is always breaking down.B.The space of RV is very big.C.There is no noise in RV.D.The radio is always breaking down.10.When you travel by your RV, you can________.A.only stay in the parkB.pay for hotels or restaurantsC.spend every night in a different scenic placeD.only go out on the weekend(2023秋·全国·八年级专题练习)Time for familyOne of my most memorable (难忘的) vacations took place on a farm.When I was a boy, my parents and I traveled from New York City to the countryside for a weeklong taste of rural life. We stayed in a guesthouse on a farm, joining in the daily routines (日常事务) and eating meals with the farmer and his family.We got up early to see the cows as they were milked. I even tried my hand at milking one, then joined the farmer as he released the cows into the field afterward. Later, while my parents busied themselves with farm chores, I helped feed the other animals, then played with the farmer’s kids.Decades later I still have vivid memories of that trip and of experiencing a lifestyle different from my own. It made me realize the value of a vacation, of seeing new things, meeting new people and sharing memorable experiences with family members.To this day I still consider that family trip when I plan my approach to taking time off with my wife and kids. Vacations are a time for resting and connecting. As a bank manager, I spend much of my workday encouraging mycustomers to save their money. One of the reasons I give is that we should all have enough for a family vacation every year. In our busy lives, family is what we should be saving our money, and time for.For my family, our vacations start when we begin planning the trips. We talk about destinations and our budget ahead of time. Among the things we discuss: Can we save money by renting a house instead of spending six nights in a hotel? Would it be better to buy groceries and cook for ourselves rather than eat out every night?Involving the kids in planning the vacation makes sure that they have a great vacation too. While I prefer to visit historical sites and museums, they love to fish and swim. So I build in some relaxation time so that the vacation works for everyone.Each year, setting aside vacation time to spend together is especially important to us. A relaxing environment opens the doors to all kinds of conversations—deep, silly, meaningful. There’s no pressure from the usual everyday tasks.This is the one week a year when I don’t car e whether my kids cleaned their room or did the dishes. What matters that week is that everyone is having a great time.11.The author’s family stayed in a________ on a farm for a weeklong taste of rural life.A.greenhouse B.hotelC.yard D.guesthouse12.What does the author do?A.He is a teacher.

It’s called the UK! More and more people are choosing to take their holidays in their own country rather than travel abroad.One of the most traditional British holidays is the “seaside holiday”. Stereotypically (典型地), families get on a train or into a car and travel to British seaside towns.In the late 1970s, air travel became affordable (负担得起) for the average (普通的) family, and more and more British people started traveling abroad for their summer holidays. After all, the British weather isn’t very good, even in summer, so a lot of Britons leave the UK for a vacation.British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. Climate (气候) change means that the UK now has a hotter climate than before, so people do not need to go overseas to find good weather. Also, the credit crunch (信贷危机) has affected (影响) the international value of the British pound, so going abroad is more expensive than it used to be. As a result, more and more Britons are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK.In the UK, the domestic (国内的) tourism industry—when people go on holiday in their own country—is healthier than it has been before. UK newspapers have even invented a new word: a “staycation”. It is a term to describe the vacation when people stay in their own homes and go on a few day-trips rather than spending money on hotels.In some ways, therefore, the UK has come full circle. There is now an increased appreciation (欣赏) among Britons for the diversity (多样性) of the UK. It is not just the geography that is diverse, ranging (范围包括) from the green hills of England to the mountains of Scotland. It is also the diversity of cultures that is beginning to be of interest to domestic tourists.

On Monday, the government officially limited(限制) the weekly time a student can spend on video games.According to the official notice, companies can only offer services to teenagers for one hour between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and other public holidays.The move made many adults happy online and off.Research showed that youths who lost themselves in video games can play as much as 10 hours a day, and many have no interest in studies or playing with others in real life.What’s more, too much screen time at a close distance can cause myopia(近视). This can also make students not sleep well. Too much screen time may also make students become fat.While there are good sides of video games, it might be important to remember bad habits have to start somewhere. And young children should learn to control themselves and manage(管理) their time.The move sounds a little hard to kids. But as the Chinese saying goes, good advice doesn’t so und nice, and bitter medicine has effective results.It is, of course, good for kids to develop good habits. But regulations(法规) are only one piece of the problem. Parents and teachers’ help is also very important. They should suggest more healthy activiti es that can develop the youth’s love for real life—in the real world.21.How many days can’t students play video games in a week usually?A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five22.What does the writer want to express in Paragraph 7?A.The time limit is surely helpful for students.B.The time limit is a sad thing for students.C.There’re no better ways to solve the problem.D.Keep the good habit and you will make success.23.Why does the government limit the time a student can spend on video games?A.To protect the healthy development of students.B.To make parents feel more relaxed.C.To improve students’ interest in study.D.To improve the relationship between students and parents.24.How should parents or teachers help students develop good habits according to the writer?A.They should give more homework to students.B.They should play with students for longer time.C.They should lead students to join in some healthy activities.D.They should tell students more about the bad sides of playing video games.(2022秋·八年级校考单元测试)A great number of people in the world have never seen snow. Others see more of it than they want to. Hail is much more common: it happens even in deserts.Hail is a small round ball of alternating layers(交互层) of snow and clear ice. It forms inside large dark clouds that you can see before or during a storm. There are two ideas about how hailstones form (构成).One idea shows that hail forms when drops of water freeze in the upper air. As they fall, they collect more drops of water. They also collect snow. The ice and snow build up in layers. If you cut a hailstone, you can see these alternating layers.The other idea says that hail starts as a raindrop. The wind cries it higher into the atmosphere(大气层) where it gets covered by snow. It becomes heavy and begins to fall. As it falls, it gets a layer of water, which freezes. Then the wind carries it back up to the snow area, and it gets another layer of snow. This can happen a number of times. Finally the hailstone is too heavy to travel on the wind, and it falls to the ground.Only a thunderstorm, a storm with loud noises and lightning can produce hail, but very few of them do. Perhaps only one in 400 thunderstorms creates hailstones.A hailstone is usually less than eight centimeters in diameter. However, hailstones can be much bigger than that. Sometimes they are as big as baseballs. The largest hailstone which people have ever recorded weighed over 680 grams and had a diameter of thirteen centimeters.Hail can cause the death of plants, especially since hail usually appears in the middle of summer, when the plants are partly grown. If the crops are destroyed, it is too late to plant more, and the farmer has lost everything. In one terrible hailstorm in 1923 in Rostov, in Ukraine, twenty-three people and many farm animals were killed. 25.Which of the following is about HAIL?A. B.C.D.26.According to the passage, which of the following is the fact about hail?A.Hail is formed of snow and ice.B.Hail can’t be found in deserts any more.C.Hail often comes in cold winter.D.People can see snow more often than hail.A.Noises. B.Hailstones. C.Thunderstorms. D.Deserts.28.What’s the passage mainly about?A.Different ideas about how hail forms.B.A brief introduction about hail.C.The size and the weight of hailstones.D.The influence that hail causes.29.The Art Festival in Lushan Middle School lasted for _______.A.two days B.four days C.seven days30.Which of the following activities is NOT in Lushan Art Festival?A.Dyeing the T-shirt.B.Making things out of paper.C.Holding a dancing competition.(2022秋·浙江杭州·八年级统考期末)Many people like to travel when they have time off from school or work. They might go to their hometown to see their family, or travel somewhere far. But not everyone does this, more and more people are choosing to take a “staycation”.A staycation is a new word for a period of time when people stay at home on vacation or take day trips from their home to local(当地的)places of interest. Some people might travel around their city, visiting local parks and museums. Others might try countryside trips and take part in local festivals. People like me love to just stay at home.I had a staycation of my own over the summer. I slept late every day. I worked on music and played videogames. I wasn’t too lonely(孤独的). I had my cat to play with, and I got together with some of my friends around the city.Traveling is fun, but it’s also nice to just stay home and relax. It’s cheaper as well, since I don’t have to pay for travel. And you can choose to do whatever you like, if you want, just do nothing. There’s nothing wro ng with that. 31.Which of the following things might people do during a staycation? ________A.Studying hard at school.B.Going back to their hometown.C.Traveling around their city.D.Traveling somewhere far.32.How did the writer feel during his staycation? ________A.Busy.B.Bored.C.Relaxed.D.Lonely.33.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? ________A.City life with friends.B.My Staycation experience.C.Holidays and vacations.D.New Year’s Resolution.A.Doing nothing.B.Traveling around.C.Paying for travel.D.Visiting some friends.(2022秋·天津滨海新·八年级统考期末)Jay and Joan like to spend the winter holiday with their mum and dad.

Bob heard the window being opened slowly. For a minute, Bob was so frightened that he could not move, and his body felt like ice. He knew that he couldn't lose his head and began to think of the things he could do.Again he heard the sound of someone trying to climb into his home through the window.Bob's drums were standing in the corner near the TV.

However, when she first walked past the students in the school, her excitement turned to fear, and then to loneliness(孤独) over the next few days. "Why didn't anyone say 'hi' to me or invite me to his or her lunch table? Is it because of my clothes or my hair?" she wondered. Almost every day during the first week, Anna stayed alone, thinking that there must have been something wrong with her or that nobody saw her at all!What caused Anna's problem? The reason was that nobody knew her. Most people don't like talking with strangers. So it's your job to volunteer to make contact with people who you want to know. The easiest way to catch their attention is to notice them first. Make eye contact with them, and smile at them. When you smile at them, you are doing your best to show your kindness to them, and they are sure to understand that you are saying, "Hey, how's everything going?" In thisway, you are taking the first step towards the road to friendship.When Anna realized this, she started talking to her classmates. Guess what happened? It really worked. She had made two friends by the end of the month.In fact, saying "hi" or making friends with strangers is not hard. And the joy it brings you is really great. So try to open your heart to strangers!(1)Which of the following shows the change in Anna's feelings?A. excited→afraid→lonely→happyB. happy→lonely→sad→proudC. afraid→relaxed→nervous→happyD. nervous→angry→happy→sad(2)The underlined word "contact" in Paragraph 2 means .A. agreeB. greetC. praiseD. communicate(3)According to the writer's opinion, which is the easiest way to catch others' attention?A. Doing something for them.B. Making yourself cool.C. Noticing them first.D. Talking to them.(4)What can we learn from the passage?A. Loneliness is a common problem these days.B. Teenagers can't get along well with each other.C. Opening our heart to strangers can help us get friends.D. It's hard to take the first step towards the road to friendship.3.阅读理解Bike-sharing has swept across China, with an increasing number of people choosing bike riding instead of driving. The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it, and those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smartphone and left anywhere in public. Bike-sharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily.In some cities, we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharing-bikes. It's very convenient to use the bikes if you have a smartphone. First, you have to download such an app on your smartphone. Then what you need to do is find a nearest hike through the app, scan the QR code on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection. You will find the bike can be unlocked itself. Then you can enjoy your trip. What's more, the greatest advantage of hike- sharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend. Normally, every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesn't cost so much, does it?At the same time, some people park the hikes in their own homes. Besides, some people don't value the bikes. Now service companies are trying to solve the problems like being stolen.Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles. We have to say bike- sharing brings us more convenience without doubt. And we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also put it to good use.(1)From the first paragraph, we know ______.A. bike-sharing is invented in ChinaB. sharing-bikes are used by some peopleC. most people in cities don t driveD. sharing-bikes can be borrowed anywhere(2)II you want to use a sharing-bike, you must _________ first.A. have a smartphone and download an appB. download an app and pay for the tripC. unlock the bike and download an appD. find a nearest bike and borrow it from anyone(3)Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?A.

Bike-sharing is a kind of green transport.(4)The passage probably comes from a ________.A. science textbookB. tourist guideC. website news reportD. restaurant menu 4.阅读理解Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to make money for my schooling.One day, my mother was sewing a quilt(缝被子).I silently sat beside her."Mom, is there love between you and Dad? "I asked in a very low voice.With surprise in her eyes, she stopped her work for a while. Then she said, "Susan, look at this thread(线).It can hardly be seen, but it's really there. It makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, love should be a thread. Love is inside."I couldn't understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.After they were back, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road every day. They were so kind to each other and it seemed they were the happiest couple.After two months my father still couldn't walk by himself."Dad, how are you feeling now? "I asked him one day."Susan, don't worry about me, "he said. "I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life."

Others grow up small and unhealthy. In search of food, hungry deer move closer to where humans live. They eatfarm crops, vegetables and even trees. Besides, increased numbers of deer near roads can cause traffic accidents.People admire the grace and fast speed of deer. Most people don't want these animals to be hungry and ill. Should people take action to control the growing deer populations?Should People Take Direct Action?Many people think that hunting(打猎) is the best way to control the animal populations. Wildlife managers will see if there's enough food in an area and decide its carrying capacity(容量). Then hunters with licenses are sent to help control the number of deer. Hunting is usually not allowed in cities or suburbs, however.Some people have the idea to catch the deer and move them to other places. But this methodis expensive and requires finding another place that can accept the deer without breaking the balance of ecosystem(生态系统).Scientists are also working to develop chemicals(化学药品) to control the birth rate(率)in deer populations. But this plan works for only one year at a time.Should People Take Indirect Action?Some suggest bringing in natural enemies of deer, such as wolves, lions and bears, to areas with too many deer. But these animals could also hurt dogs, cats, and even humans. Other communities have built tall fences(篱笆) around areas to keep out the deer. However, this is impossible for farmers.▲Some people are against any kind of action. They support leaving the deer alone. Animal populations in an area naturally go up and down over time. Doing nothing means that some deer will die of hunger or illness. But finally, the population will reach a size within the carrying capacity(容量) of the environment. So, let nature go its own way.(1)According to the passage, increased numbers of deer can bring to people in the area.A. water pollutionB. traffic accidentsC. serious illnessesD. growing populations(2)Which of the following is the best to fill in the " ▲ " in the passage?A. Should People Do Nothing?B. Should People Protect the Deer?C. Should People Take Special Action?D. Should People Drive the Deer Away?(3)The writer most probably agrees that .A. farmers can build fences to keep the deer outB. people should leave the deer alone in the wildC. hunting is the best way to control the deer populationsD. it's great to catch the deer and move them to other places(4)The writer organizes this passage by .A. telling storiesB. using numbersC. giving opinionsD. describing scenes (场景)7.阅读理解By Anna Matteo28 January, 2019A 3-year-old boy who was lost in the woods for two days is now safe at home with his family.

Doctors at the medical center gave Casey some examination. He was then sent to his family on January 25.His mother talked with reporters and thanked everyone who joined the search for her son. "We just want to tell everybody that we're very thankful that you took the time out to search for Casey," said his mother. "He is up and talking. He's already asked to watch cartoons."(1)Who stayed with Casey during in the woods the two days ?A. A bear.B. The police.C. His mother.D.

Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟).Don't argue (争辩) with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something.You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!(1)According to the passage who have a communication problem?A. parents and other peopleB. only school kids and their parentsC. teachers and their studentsD. parents and children of all ages(2)How many pieces of advice does the writer give us to bridge the generation gap?A. 5.B. 4.C. 3.D. 2.(3)The underlined word "bridge" in the passage means "___________".A. 建立B. 消除C. 通过D. 到达(4)If the values of your parents are different from those of yours, you'd better ___________.A. argue with themB. keep away from themC. agree with them all the timeD. tell your parents what you care about(5)The best title for the passage is ___________.A.
