【英语】英语八年级英语上册阅读理解20(附带答案解析)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Nowadays children are spending too much time and money on computer games. As a result, some people even suggest that video games should be done away with. They are nothing but a great waste of time, money and energy. I totally agree with them.First of all, too much indulgence（沉溺）in the computer games may lead to the deterioration of children's physical health. Children desert the football ground as they all sit at home around the computers playing the football game. So they can't be physically fit and strong. Moreover, facing the computer for a long time, children easily suffer from myopia（近视）.Secondly, computer games distract（分散） children's attention from their studies. They finish their homework in a hurry, or even copy theirclassmates', in order to squeeze（挤出）time to play games.Therefore, video arcades（电子游戏厅）should be banned in cities and towns. Teenagers will be much better without the temptation of video games. They should be encouraged to do more meaningful and valuable things like reading, studying, and going to concerts and museums.（1）Which sentence is RIGHT according to the passage?A. More people suggest that children should be encouraged to play computer games.B. Computer games can't lead to the deterioration of children's physical health.C. Computer games can't distract children's attention from their studies.D. Video arcades should be banned in cities and towns.（2）Children desert the football ground as they all sit at home ____________ the computers playing the football game.A. onB. inC. aroundD. at（3）We CANNOT ____________ on the computer.A. play gamesB. listen to musicC. write articlesD. think（4）What CANNOT we learn from the passage?A. Children desert the football ground as they all sit at home around the computers playing the football game.B. Video arcades should be banned in cities and towns.C. Facing the computer for a long time, children easily suffer from myopia.D. Nowadays children are spending less time and money on computer games.【答案】（1）D（2）C（3）D（4）D【解析】【分析】文章大意：电子游戏对孩子的身心健康以及学习造成很大的影响，建议取消它。
