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．Five. C．Six. D．Seven.9．According to the study, we can learn that________.A．there are too many similarities between the younger and older selfB．the younger and older self are different for each personC．the younger and older self are similar for each personD．there is no differences between the younger and older self10．What does the passage mainly tell us?A．Personality is stable. 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. Now she is in the same class with me, in the 7th grade. She is tall and quite thin. She has long curly blond hair and blue eyes. I am not so beautiful. Sometimes I wish I could be as beautiful as she is.My name’s Molly. I am tall enough but a little fat. Lisa and I like doing a lot of things together and talking about different things.

The next day, I read it in front of the class. But the teacher told me that my report was wrong and all my classmates laughed at (嘲笑)me. I felt very bad about myself.

B．Friendly.C．Popular. 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。

语篇提能Ⅰ.阅读理解Across the United States, there are several places where two independent towns grew together to become one city — but kept both their names.Winston-Salem is one of them. It's a mid-sized city in what's called the plateau (high land), between the Atlantic Coast and the inland mountains in the state of North Carolina. The Winston part is a relatively new place, founded early last century. It's home to the nation's biggest open-air tobacco market.The giant R．J. Reynolds Tobacco Company's headquarters is in Winston-Salem, and Winston is the name of one of Reynolds' best-known cigarette brands. Fast-growing Winston soon surrounded the much older town of Salem，so in 1913, people in the area voted to combine them into a single place.From a historical and tourist point of view，Salem，or Old Salem, as it's called today, is the interesting and unusual part of town.Salem was founded in the 1700s by the Moravians. They spoke German，and their community was religiously based, with single men and single women living apart in separate dormitories. The Moravians greatly valued women's work and brainpower. In fact, one of the nation's oldest boarding schools for young women —the Moravians' Salem Academy founded in 1772 — is still in operation.Over the years，Salem lost its Moravian character. That all changed, though, when a non-profit group began to rehabilitate the historic area. These days Old Salem is what's called a living history museum, with exhibits, music, and tours of 18th-century houses, taverns and Moravian dormitory buildings just seven blocks from the tallest skyscraper inWinston-Salem.The historic community is booming again. Just as R．J. Reynolds is taking in millions of dollars making cigarettes across the town, Old Salem is generating about $15 million a year in tourism revenue and donations.1．From the passage we can know that ________.A. Winston-Salem is the name of a cityB. Salem is home to the tobacco marketC. the city Winston-Salem has two namesD. Old Salem is the name of a tobacco brand答案与解析A推理判断题。

新人教版高中英语测试卷语篇提能Ⅰ.阅读理解Babies can seem pretty helpless. They can't talk or use a spoon properly. They can't go to the bathroom by themselves.A long time ago, you were a baby yourself. But you've made the transition from a crying infant (婴儿) to an independent kid. As you've grown, your brain has undergone major changes. As a result, you know the difference between a cow and a car, an orange and a tennis ball. You can read, spell, and do maths.For years, scientists have been intrigued (激起兴趣) by how a baby's brain develops. They've been trying to figure out how and when babies become learning machines and begin to make sense of the world.Some researchers suggest that babies start off early. “The ‘smart baby’ camp believes that babies learn quickly，” says David Rakison, a psychologist at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. “They do maths — (simple) addition and subtraction — within the first 6 months.”Other researchers argue that babies take their time, slowly learning what they need to know.Scientists who specialize in brain development do agree on one thing: the ways in which babies sort (给……分类) objects into groups is a key sign of brain development.And after years of studying how babies sort toys and other objects, Rakison has concluded that babies are “smart” in some ways and “dumb” in others. Babies are particularly good, he says, at learning things that are essential for survival, such as recognizingfaces or dangerous animals.语篇解读本文是说明文。
Unit 2 阅读理解8篇-英语八年级上册单元冲刺满分题型训练(人教版)
八上 Unit2 阅读理解 8篇（2023秋·全国·八年级专题练习）Simple move for a fitter lifeLast year, the plank exercise was still a new thing for most Chinese. Now, the exercise is so popular that not only do many people post photos of themselves doing it on social media, there was even a Plank World Cup, which was held for the first time in Beijing last month.The plank, also known as the front hold or hover, is a core strength exercise that involves suspending the body in a horizontal position with one’s forearms and toes. Its popularity in China can be partially attributed to real estate tycoon Pan Shiyi, according to Beijing Youth Daily. Last November, he posted a photo on Weibo, in which he performed the move with former US ambassador to China Gary Locke.The celebrity effect may have started the plank wave, but its popularity lies more in the exercise’s simplicity and benefits. Without any special equipment, it can be done anytime, anywhere. Plus, it’s the most effective and efficient way to exercise the abdominal muscles (abs).While performing the exercise, all of your abs, including the *transverse, *oblique and upper abs, must work together to stabilize and support your whole body. It also exercises what is known as your “core” muscles, including the hips and the upper back muscles that protect your spine, which gives you more stability and a better balance. Other muscle groups, including the gluteus, shoulders, lats, arms, and legs, are toned and tightened as well.A new record for the plank exercise was set at last month’s competition by US fitness enthusiast and retired marine soldier George Hood. His time was four hours and one minute.How long can you hold the position? Of course, the time isn’t all that counts. But, why not take a few minutes every day to work toward a better and healthier body?1．There was a Plank World Cup in Beijing________.A．last year B．last month C．last week D．last November2．The plank is an exercise that suspends the body in a horizontal position with one’s________.A．legs and toes B．back C．forearms and toes D．hands and toes3．What does the underlined word “simplicity” mean?A．困难B．昂贵C．特殊D．简单4．According to the author, the plank can exercise our________.A．fingers B．muscles C．eyes D．toes5．What’s the passage mainly about?A．The plank—a good way to exercise.B．The most popular sport in China.C．The time limits of the plank.D．How to exercise muscles.（2023秋·全国·八年级专题练习）Stay active, stay fitPeople across the world need to get moving, according to a new study by the World Health Organization (WHO).About 25 percent of adults (成年人) do not get enough exercise, according to the study. This figure (数字) hasn’t changed from 2001. Because of this, about 1.4 billion people are at greater risk (风险) for deadly diseases (疾病) such as heart disease and cancer.People should do at least 150 minutes of “moderate intensity (中等强度)” exercise each week, such as dancing or swimming. They can also do 75 minutes of “vigorous intensity (高强度)” activity, such as running or playing soccer, according to the WHO.As f or how to exercise more, experts suggest we don’t have to go to the gym every time, the Guardian noted. For example, we can go up and down stairs a lot instead of taking the lift. If we don’t feel we can go to a dancing class each week, standing on one leg for 30 seconds a day is very good too.The study also found that women are less active than men, with 32 percent of women failing to exercise enough, compared to 23 percent of men. Women tend to spend more time at home taking care of children and doing housework, Time magazine noted.Countries with higher incomes showed higher rates of inactivity. For example, people in Kuwait and the United States exercise less than people in Uganda and Nepal. This is partly because in developed areas, desk jobs have taken the place of manual labor (体力劳动).6．About________ of adults do not get enough exercise.A．23% B．25% C．30% D．32%7．The risk of having deadly diseases can be related to________ according to the study.A．smoking B．drinking C．exercise D．sleeping8．According to the WHO, people should do at least________of “moderate intensity” exercise each week.A．75 minutes B．30 seconds C．150 seconds D．150 minutes9．23 percent of ________do not have enough exercise.A．adults B．women C．men D．children10．What does the passage mainly tell us?A．People around the world need to exercise.B．People around the world need to learn swimming.C．People around the world need to do manual labor.D．Men need to do housework.（2023秋·全国·八年级专题练习）Catch discs on lawnFrisbee is both competitive and socialIn recent years, a sport has become popular for how social (社交的) it is.

It was held over a weekend in a park in Paris. Like most music festivals, it had wonderful singers and music. However, there was something special about this one.

Take the sentence “How do you do?” for example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.Languages don’t just have different sounds, and they are different in many ways. It’s important to ma ster the rules for the word order in the study of English, too. If the speaker puts words in a wrong order, the listener can’t understand the speaker’s sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.“She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.” “I have seen the movie already.” “I have already seen the movie.”When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker does.26．From the passage we know that ________ when we are learning English.A．we shouldn’t put every word in to our own languageB．we should look up every word in the dictionaryC．we need to put every word into our own languageD．we must read word by word27．The writer thinks it is ________ in learning English.A．difficult to understand different sounds B．possible to remember the word orderC．important to master the rules for the word order D．easy to master the rules for the word order 28．We can learn from the passage that ________.A．the meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of the wordsB．the order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentenceC．sometimes different orders of words have different meaningsD．if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be different29．“She only likes apples.” ________.A．is the same as “Only she likes apples.”B．is different from “Only she likes apples.”C．mean “She likes fruit except apples.”D．means “She doesn’t like apples.”30．Which is the best title for the passage?A．Different Orders, Different Meanings B．How to Speak EnglishC．How to Put English into Our Own Language D．How to Learn English（2022秋·八年级校考单元测试）There are three common questions about how to improve our English.The first question is about real English. Some students say that they want to learn rea l English. But they don’t know what to do. Watching English films is a good way. When we are tired after studying for a long time, we can watch an English film to relax. While watching it, we can also learn real English at the same time.The second question is about speaking, Most speaking. Most students feel too shy to talk with foreigners.“Where are you from?” What do you think of China?” There are both good questions to start a conversation. Before we begin, take a deep breath and smile! Smiling always helps.The third question is about vocabulary. We want to remember all the new words. The problem is that we write them down but forget them soon. Write eight or ten words on a piece of paper and put it in our bedroom. Try to remember them. Spell the words whenever we see them, and change them every day. There is another way, when you’re shopping, counting the English words or saying the English names for everything you see as much as possible.31．According to the second paragraph, what can we do to learn real English?A．Talk to foreign friends. B．Remember all words.C．Watch English films. D．Write down words on paper.32．In this passage, what’s the problem with most of the students speaking English?A．Too shy to talk to foreigners. B．Don’t know how to learn real English.C．Can’t remember English words.D．Want to watch English films.33．How can we start a conversation with foreigners?A．By taking a deep breath.

D．By asking some good questions.34．If we want to remember new words, we can write them down and ________ whenever we see.A．search them B．forget them C．spell them D．say them out35．Which part of a magazine may the passage come from?A．Learning tips. B．English stories. C．Foreign culture. D．Students’ life.（2023·全国·八年级假期作业）Dear Lisa,It was sunny last weekend. I got up early on Sunday because I had many things to do.

2024初中英语中考总复习任务型阅读专项练习8
2024初中英语中考总复习任务型阅读专项练习一Are you an “I person” or an “E person”? These two personality labels (个性标签) are widely discussed online. They are part of a popular personality test called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI. All of the results have four letters, and there are 16 results in total. “I” stands for “introverted (内向的)” and “E” refers to “extroverted”.Even if someone is typically quiet, many online discussions suggest that an “I” person can still act outgoing at times. For example, when an introverted person is with a group of introverted friends, they might become more social like an “E” person. According to experts, this is called “masking”. That is hiding your true personality in some situations. Because human beings want to get the sense of belonging by pleasing others.Using the MBTI result to identify (识别) and describe someone’s personality seems fun. However, I went too far at one time. My sister was excitedly making a day-to-day travel plan when I remembered from an article that “P people” don’t like to make or stick to plans, so I said to her, “You don’t seem like a ‘P person’.” “Why?” she asked back. “Since when do I need to follow what my personality test tells me to do?” It was then I realized I’d taken the result too seriously.The M BTI personality test may show something you don’t know about yourself and can even be a fun ice-breaker question when meeting new friends. And that’s all it is—for fun. Knowing someone’s MBTI result doesn’t mean you really know this person. And those four letters of yours don’t define (定义) who you are.阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
