Unit8 阅读理解专练AEvery country has its favorite food. Italians like to eat pizza. Indians like to eat hot food. Japanese like to eat fish. Often they don’t cook it.In England, one of the most popular kinds of food is fish and chips. People usually buy it in a fish and chip shop. They put it in paper bags, and take it home, or to their workplace. Sometimes they eat it in the park or on the road. The world’s favorite food is American fast food. If you go to some important cities in the world, you can find people eating hamburgers and chips.Fish and chips, and Chinese take-away food are very popular in England. But they are less popular in the USA. The Americans eat take-away food, too, like chicken. But the most popular kind of take-away food is the hamburger. It looks like bread with meat in it. Ham (火腿) is a kind of pork, but the hamburger does not have any pork in it. The hamburgers are also popular in England and Australia.1. Italians like to eat _______.A. dumplingsB. pizzaC. hot foodD. fish2. Fish and chips is very popular in _______.A. EnglandB. AustraliaC. the USAD. Canada3.

Hamburger is a kind of _______.A. meatB. drinksC. foodD. vegetablesBPotato chips are very popular in the world. Do you know how they were invented (发明)? In 1853, a native (本土的) American named George Crum made the first potato chips. Crum was a chef (厨师) in an expensive restaurant in Saratoga Springs, New York. One day, a customer (顾客) did not like the French fries. He said they were cut too thick. That day Crum was in a bad mood, so he cut the potatoes really,really thin and he cooked them for a long time until they were very crispy (酥脆的). He wanted to make the customer dislike them. But the customer loved them very much and asked for more.Other people wanted Crum’s potato chips. Now, there was a new food on the menu—Saratoga chips. Soon Crum opened his own restaurant and made his special chips. It took a long time to make potato chips. People peeled the potatoes by hand. Then in 1920, the automatic (自动的) potato peeler changed everything. Now it was faster and easier to make potato chips. Now potato chips were not a specialty. They were a popular snack food, but only in the north.A salesman named Herman Lay wanted to sell potato chips in the south. He sold potato chips in bags. His business grew. Today, Americans eat a lot of potato chips every day.阅读短文，判断正（T）误（F）。

They both help you to see your aims(目标) in life.Although most students would be unhappy if they found that they had failed a very difficult physics course，they have in fact learned a lot about themselves. They know that they should not become engineers or physical scientists. So failing can help a student to live a much happier life if he or she draws something out of the failing. They may then decide on their aims and choose the kind of work they would be fit for and they would like to do.It is impossible to decide whether or not you li ke something until you have tried it. If you decide that you would like to play the piano，you need to take more than one lesson before you can know whether you are really interested in it or you are able to do it well.It is not enough to want to be a great pianist. You also have to like the hard practice and long training before you become one. If you would enjoy being a great pianist but hate the work, forget it.It's a good plan to try as many ideas as possible when you are still young. And then you will be able to find out what your true interests are.根据短文内容, 回答问题。

ADumplings are the traditional food for the Spring Festival in China.Almost everyone ea ts them that day.Do you know why they are so popular?In the old days，people thought eating dumplings could make their wishes come true.They usually made dumplings in the shape of Chinese gold ingots(金锭)，because they hoped for a rich life in the coming year.Dumplings with different foods in them had different meanings.For example，sugar dumplings would make people's life happy and sweet in the future.Peanut(花生)dumplings would bring people a long and healthy life.Anyway people ate dumplings with their best wishes.On Spring Festival Eve，every family makes dumplings ready early.When the midnight comes，the whole family will sit together and eat the dumplings.The midnight is also called “交子(jiao zi)”．It means that the new year comes at this time.And it sounds the same as the Chinese word for dumplings：饺子．So eating the dumplings is also a way to welcome the new year.( )1．What did the dumplings look like in the old times?( )2．What did people eat sugar dumplings for?A．To live a long life.

Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty--sometimes you are just thirsty, and you need no food. Stop eating before you feel full.Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Because you don't eat for the past ten hours, your body needs food to get you going. You will be smarter after eating breakfastEat healthy snacks like fruits, yogurt or cheese.

In our busy life, we always put off eating dinner until the last minute. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed.

Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plan. So airlines（航空公司）offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree?To solve this problem, airlines try hard to improve their food. They would like to do so because they don’t want to lose customers.However, according to scientific research, part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at high altitude（海拔）we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure（气压）reduces one third of the sensibility（感觉）of our taste buds. So our taste buds become senseless. The sad face, however, is that our noses don’t know it.All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy（辛辣的）food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless.Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.Though scientists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought. Because they can’t deal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, making food taste good is still hard for them.( )16.In Paragraph 2, “this problem” means ______.A．passengers stay long in the plane B．food on the plane tastes bad C．passengers have no food to eat D．food on the plane is expensive ( )17.What do airlines do to solve this problem?A．Get more customers. B．Offer more food.C．Improve their food. D．Reduce the ticket price.( )18.As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure reduces of the sensibility of our taste buds.A．half B．one third C．one fourth D．one fifth ( )19.Why do scientists feel it hard to made food on the plane taste good?A．The volunteers don’t know about food taste.B．The volunteers don’t understand them.C．They can’t find enough volunteers.D．They can’t deal with the special environment successfully.( )20.What is the best title of the passage?A．Taste of Airplane Food B．Airplane TravelC．Scientific Research on Noses D．The Change in Air PressureEEvery country has its own way of cooking. American people have their own way of cooking, don't they? Most people in the United States like fast food, but if you think that American people don't like cooking, you are wrong. It's true that most Americans eat fast food for their breakfast and lunch, but they also think cooking is interesting. Parents see the importance of teaching their children how to cook, and most Americans say that home-cooked meals are the best.Americans have their own way of cooking. For example, baking is the most popular way of cooking in America. Most American families have ovens. American cooks pay attention to (注意) the balance of food. While planning a big meal, they try to cook meat, a few vegetables, some bread and sweet food. They also like to make the meal look beautiful.

培优专项训练八Unit 8 主题阅读阅读理解AZhao Hua is a student from a university. He has led a group of university student volunteers since last year. They help children at a primary school with their studies and daily lives.“When I was a small child,”Zhao said, “I knew March 5th was a day for people to learn from Lei Feng and help others, but I didn‟t know the real meaning of the spirit of Lei Feng. Now when I see the smiling faces of the kids I have helped, I deeply understand Lei Feng. Helping others makes me happy.”Lei Feng（1940—1962）is one of the best-known soldiers in Chinese history. He lost his parents when he was very young. His neighbors brought him up. He died in an accident at the age of 22. He did many good deeds in his short life. For example, he gave his own money to the parents of another soldier, and bought a ticket for a woman he didn‟t know without telling her his name.On March 5th,1963, Chairman Mao called on people to “Learn from Lei Feng”and made the day “Lei Feng Day”.Today almost 50 years has passed since Lei Feng‟s death. Some people say that the spirit of Lei Feng is out. There have been many reports about the coldness (冷漠) of people towards strangers. This has made many Chinese people think deeply about themselves.Many people think we need to promote (提倡) that spirit again. The important thing is that we must be ready to help others and make it a habit.1. Which day is “Lei Feng Day”？A. May 3rd.B. May 5 th.C. March 3rd.D. March 5 th.2. Who brought Lei Feng up?A. His parents.B. Chairman Mao.C. His neighbors.D. Soldiers.3. The underlined phrase “good deeds”means_________ in Chinese.A.好人B.好事C. 好梦D. 好主意4.

Lei Feng always helped others.D. We should learn from Lei Feng.5. What‟s the best title (标题) of this passage ?A. Lei Feng‟s SpiritB. Lei Feng‟s deathC. Lei Feng‟s good neighborsD. University Student VolunteersBLike many people, I have no clear idea about heroes. At some point, we all wonder if we need a hero and what a hero really is.Although there are a lot of differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics (特点) which give us courage and make us want to learn from them.A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a special story to tell and people think highly of it. But a hero is not just the person with great fame (声誉) .A hero has powers (力量) larger than himself. Some people want to live like a hero, and they have to experience life with a new and further meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom they serve. What do they want to live and die for? If the answer suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes.A hero has a vision from the mountaintop. He has the power to move people. He creates new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of Britain. Without Martin Luther King, Jr., Americans might take different buses, eat in different restaurants, go for walks in different parks, and shop in different stores because of the different colours of their skin. There might be changes in society without a hero, but the speed of change would be rather slow. Thanks to heroes in history, they make the society develop so rapidly.1. According to this passage, a hero is a person who always ________.A. gives us courageB. thinks highly of othersC. shares great fameD. stands on the mountaintop2. If you want to live like a hero, you should _______.A. experience a new and meaningful lifeB. listen to something worth talking aboutC. serve your own fame and try to be famousD. know where and how you want to live and die3.
