一、八年级英语下册阅读理解专项练习（含答案解析）

1．阅读理解

Have you ever thought about what our food will be like in the future? As the population is

growing fast, there must be changes in our food.

More land will be used for building houses for people. Then there will be less space for cattle

and chickens, so meat will be more expensive. Instead, people will eat more fruit and vegetables.

Scientists are always trying out new ways of growing food. Only one third of the Earth's area is

land and the rest is sea, so some think maybe we can get more food from the sea.

Besides, though rice supports more than half of the world's population, it needs a lot of water

to grow. Scientists predict（预测） the climate will get drier during the next century. Therefore,

it might be impossible to grow rice in the future. Some farmers are experimenting with new crops.

Farmers like to grow beans because they don't need much water, and beans also improve the

quality of the soil. The soybean （黄豆） makes a good substitute（替代品） for rice and meat.

（1）Why won't some people eat meat every day in the future according to the passage?

A. Because meat makes people fat. B. Because meat may be more expensive.

C. Because people want to be healthier. D. Because people want to eat more vegetables.

（2）Where can we get more food according to the passage?

A. From the sea. B. From the land. C. From the rivers. D. From other planets.

（3）Why might it be impossible to grow rice in the future according to the passage?

A. Because growing rice is hard work. B. Because people will eat less rice.

C. Because rice needs much water to grow. D. Because it takes too much time to grow rice.

（4）Which of the following about beans is NOT true?

A. Beans may be popular for farmers to grow. B. Beans need as much water as rice to grow.

C. Beans improve the quality of the soil. D. Beans can take the place of rice and meat.

【答案】 （1）B

（2）A

（3）C

（4）B

【解析】【分析】短文大意：这篇短文讲的是将来人们的食物会是什么样的。在将来肉很贵，人们将吃的更多的是水果和蔬菜。人们从海洋中得到更多的食物。随着下个世纪气候的变干旱，在将来种植水稻是不可能的。人们会种植豆类，黄豆会制成米和肉好的替代品替。

（1）细节理解题。根据 Then there will be less space for cattle and chickens, so meat will be

more expensive.那时牛和鸡的生存空间更小了，因此肉将更贵。 故选B。

（2）细节理解题。根据 Only one third of the Earth's area is land and the rest is sea, so some

think maybe we can get more food from the sea. 地球只有三分之一是陆地，因此一些人认为或许我们能从海洋获取更多的食物。故选A。

（3）细节理解题。根据 Besides, though rice supports more than half of the world's

population, it needs a lot of water to grow. 此外，虽然，水稻支撑着世界上一半多人口，它需要很多水来种植，故选C。

【点评】此题考查阅读理解。我们在做题之前先阅读短文，了解短文大意，然后分析问题，带着问题读文章，从短文的细节中找到问题答案。

2．阅读理解

Sara was sitting in the kitchen going over the party list with her mother. The exams were over

and Sara wanted to invite her friends for a party and have fun.

"Sara, aren't you going to invite Ada?" her mother asked. Ada had been her best friend since

childhood.

"Mother, you know I am now a member of Purple Girls Club and we have some rules about

people we can be friends with." Sara answered in a low voice.

"Really? And what are the rules?" her mother asked in surprise.

"Well, only very pretty girls can be part of our group. And Ada is so...you know...dark."

"I can't believe it." her mother said angrily.

As Sara left the kitchen, her father called her from the living room. Sara went to her father and

got nervous when she saw the exam report in his hands.

"Sara, what has happened to your grades? You have failed in math." her father said.

Sara had no answer. The truth was that the activities of Purple Girls Club left her with very little

time for studies.

"Sara, it says that you can take part in supplementary exams. If your grades don't improve then,

I'll cancel your trip to Spain in the coming holiday."

Sara went to her room and called Gina, the leader of Purple Girls Club.

"Gina, can you help me to complete my notes before the exams?"

Gina just said, "Exams? Who cares about exams?"

One by one, she called all her friends in the club but no one seemed to care or wanted to help

her. Then Sara thought of Ada. She knew Ada would help her. She also knew Ada had been hurt

by her, but Ada said, "If you need any help, just let me know. We can study together till your

exams."

Next Monday, as the two friends entered the school together, Gina called out, "Sara, you know

our club rules. You can't be friends with those who do not belong to our club."
