江苏省常州地区2017-2019年上学期八年级英语期中试卷分类汇编：阅读理解(含答案)
常州地区八年级上学期期中英语试卷分类汇编阅读理解新北区实验学校AYou may have seen photos and videos of broken windows, falling trees and heavy rain on the internet. They were caused by Typhoon Mangkhut (台风山竹), the strongest typhoon to hit China this year.On Sept 15, Mangkhut landed on the coast (海岸) of Jiangmen in Guangdong province, with wind speeds of 162 kilometers per hour. Till Sept 18, five people were killed and over 1.6 millionwell.One of the causes of all the powerful storms this year may be climate change. Hurricanes(飓风) and typhoons are actually the same thing –they are both tropical cyclones(热带气旋). Temperature(温度) changes cause them to form on the sea.Because of global(全球）warming, ocean temperatures are rising and tropical cyclones are forming with more energy and strength. Experts say that strong storms like these ones will become more common in future, the South China Morning Post said.43. The underlined word “evacuate” in the passage means “_________” in Chinese.A. 逃跑B.死亡C. 撤离D. 受伤44. What’s the fundamental (根本) cause of Typhoon Mangkhut?A. Tropical cyclones.B. Global warming.C. Temperature changes.D. Hurricanes.45. We can read this passage most probably(可能) in a _________.A. magazineB. newspaperC. novelD. videoBIn 1976, Steve Jobs and his friend Steve Wozniak started AppleComputers. When Steve got his first order, he didn't have enough moneyto buy parts to make the computers.But Steve came up with an idea. He went to an electronic(电子的)supply store. He persuaded(说服) the store to give him the parts to make thecomputers. Steve couldn't pay for the parts right then. But he promised to pay the store back later. Steve was very good at persuading people to do what he asked. The store said yes.Each Apple computer cost $220 to make. Each Apple computer was sold to the electronics store for $500. So even after Steve and Woz paid back the electronic supply store, they made a very big profit(利润).Steve and Woz knew they could do better. What if they made a computer that came witheverything, so a person could just take it out of the box and use it right away? He and Woz got to work on making such a computer — Apple II.Woz and Steve wanted to make the most beautiful computer in the world. At the time, plastic was much more expensive than metal or wood. But Steve thought plastic looked cool and modern. And how a computer looked was important. If it looked good, people would want it.46. What was the problem of Steve Jobs?A. He couldn't sell his expensive computers.B. He didn't have money to start a company.C. He couldn't find a store to buy computer parts.D. He didn't have money to buy computer parts.47. We can infer(推断) from the passage that _________.A. Steve Jobs was good at communicating(沟通)B. Steve Jobs was good at borrowingmoneyC. the store owner was a friend of Steve JobsD. the store owner didn't get the moneyback48. How did Jobs and Wozniak feel about the Apple II?A. Don’t believe it.B. A little surprised.C. A little worried.D. Trust it.CWhat subject do you worry about the most at school? Many students worry about math. Some students c an’t sleep well the day before a math exam. Others may feel very nervous during the exam itself. But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful(有压力的).That’s right — sitting up straight can help you do better on math exams.Scientists tested 125 college students. They asked them to do a simple math text while sitting in a slumped-over (趴倒的) position, or sitting up straight. After the test, 56％of students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight.Slumping over is a defensive posture(防御姿势). It can cause negative (消极的) memories in the body and brain. This can stop you from thinking clearly, Peper said.Students who were good at math did not necessarily benefit(有益于) from better posture. But they did find that doing math while slumped over was more difficult, Science Daily reported.Good posture isn’t just helpful for taking math exams. Players, musicians and public speakers can all benefit from better posture. When you feel worried, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more positive(积极的) and do better.49. What posture(姿势) can make people feel less stressed during math exams?A. Lying on your back.B. Putting your head on your desk.C. Sitting up straight.D. Raising one hand.50. What did the 125 college students do while they were taking the exam?A. Doing sit-ups.B. Sitting in different positions.C. Thinking carefully.D. Counting numbers.51. What can we learn from the fifth paragraph ?A. Slumping over is more difficult for many students.B. Everyone should benefit from better posture in math exams.C. Good students should slump over when they have math exams.D. Different postures mean different results of the same math exam.52. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Sit up to do mathB. Slump overC. Nervous studentsD. Feel more positive43-45 CBB 46-48 DAD 49-52 CBDA钟楼区清潭中学（A）Shlander is a man from space(太空). He thinks the people and things on the earth are very strange.

lowest point on land．It is popular for its wonderful buoyancy（浮力）．The high salt content﹣more than 34 percent ﹣makes swimming more like floating．Now the Dead Sea is actually dying．People are using water from the Jordan River，which takes water away from the Dead Sea．Since 1930，its surf area has reduced by almost40 percent．Venice，ItalyWith waterways instead of streets．This "Floating City" has attracted visitors for centuries．But no visit to Venice is complete without a ride on one of its famous gondolas，human powered water taxis．Water creates V enice．But water will also kill the city．Built on soft earth，Venice has slowly been sinking （下沉）for centuries．Now，with rising sea levels caused by human activities，it's sinking faster．According to US﹣based magazine Architectural Digest，the city may disappear in the next 100 years．Better book your gondola soon!Great Barrier Reef，AustraliaCovering more than 2，300 kilometers of Australia's northeast coast，Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest reef ecosystem，and an ideal place for scuba divers （水肺潜水者）．Thousands of colorful coral （珊瑚）and fish make homes in the blue sea water．It's like a big underwater party!Sadly，the party might be over soon．The reef is dying．Human activities are changing the weather．Warming ocean，water kills the coral，and this causes problems up the food chain．The New York Times reported that large parts are already dead，and the reef system might be gone by 2030．（1）What can be the best title of the passage？A．Disappearing Watery WondersB．Amazing Man﹣made Wonders on the SeaC．Lost Watery Wonders on the

good news for students of vocational （职业的）colleges in China：the government has announced plans to develop modern vocational education．Premier Li Kegiang said the government should speed up the development of modern vocational education to meet the need for skilled workers and technicians （技术人员）in the job market．High school graduates and workers with no special training are encouraged to study in higher vocational colleges．Li said that the number of the new students in higher vocational colleges in China should go up by 1 million this year．This is the first time the central government has a clear plan．This comes after the news of the large shortfall （不足）in highly skilled technicians，although China has millions of technical workers．China is expected to face a shortfall of 3 million skilled workers who can operate the newest machines by 2020．The shortfall will grow to 4.5 million by 2025．Also，vocational education is unsatisfactory （不令人满意的），although there are many vocational colleges in China．In some vocational colleges，the education methods and courses cannot meet the need of upgrading （升级），manufacturing（制造业）．As can be seen from the job market，some companies still can't find highly skilled technicians even with high pay．To deal with the problem．some vocational colleges have worked with companies to teach students．They have hired skilled technicians from companies as teachers．With the rising of the skilled workers' social position and pay，it is believed the vocational education system in China will start to play a bigger role in the development of China．（1）What's the main purpose of the development of modern vocational education in China？A．To train more highly skilled technicians for the job marketsB．To help vocational college graduates get higher pay from their work．C．To ask more people to live on themselves with technical skills．D．To encourage more companies to upgrade manufacturing．（2）What is one of the problems of Chinese vocational education according to the passage？A．Higher vocational college teachers are not well paid and valued．．B．There are only a small number of higher vocational colleges in China．C．The education methods and courses in vocational colleges are unsatisfactory．D．Some of the vocational college teachers are skilled technicians from companies．（3）The writer believes China's future vocational education is．A．hopefulB．doubtfulC．unsatisfactoryD．worrying14．（6分）Nowadays，it never seems we have enough time to realize all of the reading goals （目标）that we set for ourselves．Luckily，we have mobile apps such as Latte Read and GetAbstract to provide abstracts （梗概）of a text．Abstracts are useful tools，especially for students，but like having a friend describe the main content of a story to you，you cannot experience the joy and excitement of reading the original （原来的）text of yourself．I recently finished reading a thick book of W．Somerset Maugham's collected shortstories．It took me around ten years to get through．Thomas Mann's difficult The Magic Mountain took me about six months to read；Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged made me very boredmost of the time．Reading a book，whether it is good or bad，is a formative （建设性的）experience．There are plenty of books which I probably shouldn't have taken the time to read．But the challenge of living for a time in the thoughts and experiences of a different history or character makes even the worst book a valuable effort．Whenever I finish the last line of a book and slowly close it，I like to sit there and think over its lines with a mix of nostalgia （怀旧之情）and pride．I then take the book in hand and find a place for it on my bookshelf．When I step back and look at the books on my shelf，it is as if I am looking at the history of the different lives that I have lived．Abstracts are useful as a tool to an end，but reading the actual （真正的）book is something much richer．Reading，like anything else in life，is much more about the journey than it ever was the destination （目的地）．（1）What does the writer mainly want to say？A．Reading abstracts is a best short way to enjoy literature．B．Reading abstracts cannot bring you the true feeling of actual reading．C．Reading different kinds of books brings you many advantages．D．The journey and the destination are equally important in our reading．（2）What can we know about the writer from the second paragraph？A．He prefers thick and difficult books to short stories．B．A good book is better worth reading than a bad one to him．C．He achieves a lot from reading some challenging books．D．He is lucky enough never to have read a regrettable book．（3）In the third paragraph the writer his main point of view （主要观点）．A．explains the meaning ofB．provides further support forC．makes a conclusion ofD．offers an opposite example for15．（8分）When Major，the most respected pig，saw all the animals were present，he cleared his throat and began："Now，comrades （同志们），I don't think I shall be with you for manymonths．Before I die，let me ask you a question．What is the nature of this life of ours？Let us face it：our lives are miserable and short．We are born，we are given just so much food as will keep the breath in our bodies，and those of us who are able to do it are forced to work to the last"Why then do we continue in this miserable？Because nearly the whole of the produce of our hard work is stolen from beings．There，comrades，is the answer to all our problems．It is summed up in a single word﹣Man．Man is the only real enemy we have．Remove （消灭）Man from the scene，and the basic cause of hunger and overwork is ended for ever．""And now，comrades，I will sing an old song that came into my dream last night to you．I am sure，it was a song sung by the animals of long ago and have been lost to memory for marry years．It is called Animals of England．"His voice was hoarse （沙哑的），but he sang well enough to throw the animals into the wildest excitement．Almost before Major had reached the end，they had begun singing it for themselves．Unluckily，the singing woke Mr．Jones，the farm owner，who jumped out of bed，thinking that there was a fox in the yard．He took the gun which always stood in a comer of his bedroom，and let fly 6 shots （射击）into the darkness．The pellets （子弹）flew into the wall of the yard and the meeting broke up hurriedly．Everyone ran to his own sleeping place．The birds jumped onto their trees，the animals settled down in the straw，and the whole farm was asleep in a moment．（1）Why did Major make the speech？A．To encourage the animals to fight against Man．B．To teach the animals to sing an old song．C．To say goodbye to the animals before death．D．To complain about his personal miserable life．（2）What does the underlined word " miserable" in the second paragraph most probably mean？A．commonB．boringC．lonelyD．painful（3）Which of the following is true according to the passage？A．The animals on the farm were brave．B．Major's speech was nearly successful．C．Major and Mr．Jones were friendly to each other．D．Mr．Jones forced his animals to work from birth to death．（4）Why did Mr．Jones fire his gun？A．To break up the animals' meeting．′B．To kill the fox he saw in the yard．C．To make sure his gun was in good condition．D．To protect the animals he raised on his farm．四、阅读表达（共1小题；每小题5分，满分5分）阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词．注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上．每个空格只填一个单词．16．（5分）One cannot discuss Chinese music without mentioning the Chinese seven﹣string zither （七弦琴），also known as the guqin，one of the four arts ﹣along with go，calligraphy and painting．It first appeared over 3，000 ago and represents China's solo musical instrument tradition．At first，the guqin had only five strings，representing the five elements of metal，wood，water，fire and earth．Later．in the Zhou dynasty，King Wen of Zhou added a sixth string for his son，King Wu of Zhou，added a seventh string to encourage his army to fight with the Shang．Ambience （环境气氛）was important in playing the Chinese zither．Usually，it was practised in quiet setting and never for public performance．Ancient artists enjoyed performing by a stream in the mountains．The sound of the guqin mixed with the echoes （回音）from the mountains，until the musician found himself at one with nature．Playing it in snow was also a favorite pastime for ancient artists，who believed the instrument was the purest of its kind in the world．Also．a night with moonlight wasconsidered ideal for Playing the guqin．Wang Wei （701﹣761），a highly talented man of the Tang dynasty，liked playing it in a bamboo forest on nights with moonlight most．Guqin pieces are usually around three to eight minutes long，with the longest being Guangling Verse，which is 22 minutes long．Other famous pieces include Plum Blossoms in Three Movements，Wild Geese Landing on the Sandbank and Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute．Nowadays，there are fewer than one thousand well﹣trained gugin players and perhaps no more than fifty living masters．The original number of several thousand pieces has greatly reduced to only a hundred works by today．The guqin and its music was added to the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity （人类非物质文化遗产）in 2003．Title：The guqin and Its MusicMain Parts Detailedinformation Introduction to the guqin●As one of the fourarts，it has a（1）of 3，000 years andrepresents China'ssolo musicalinstrument tradition．The strings●At first，therewere five
