But after a little practice he found that he was becoming very skilled and soon he was making some of the finest tacks.Old Mr. Smith died and the son on account of the war lost all his goods. He had to leave home and wasforced to live in another country. It so happened that in this village there were many shoemakers who were spending a lot of money buying tacks for their shoes and even at times when they paid high prices they were not always able to get what they wanted, because in that part of the country there was a high demand for soldiers’ shoes.Our young Mr. Smith, who was finding it difficult to earn his daily bread, remembered that once upon a time he had learned the art of making tacks and had the sudden idea of making a bargain with the shoemakers. He told them that he would make the tacks if they would help to get him settled in the workshop. The shoemakers were only too glad of the offer.

Then, some people learned to grow crops and raise animals for food. They were the first farmers.From the sixteenth century on, the word “farm” has meant agricultural land. But a much older meaning of the word “farm” is linked to economics. The word “farm” comes from the Latin word “firma”, which means an unchanging payment. E xperts say the earliest meaning of the English word “farm” was a yearly payment made as a tax or rent.Farmers in early England did not own their land. They paid every year to use agricultural lands. In England, farmers used hawthorn trees along the edges of houses. They called this row of hawthorns a hedge. Hedging fields was how careful farmers marked and protected them. Soon, people began to use the word “hedging” to describe steps that could be taken to protect against financial loss. Hedging is common among gamblers who make large bets. A gambler bets a lot of money on one team. But, to be on the safe side, he also places a smaller bet on the other team, to reduce a possible loss.You might say that someone is hedging his bet when he invests in several different kinds of business. One business may fail, but likely not all. Farmers know that it is necessary to make hay while the sun shines. Hay has to be cut and gathered when it is dry. So a wise farmer never postpones gathering his hay when the sun is shining. Rain may soon appear. A wise person copies the farmer. He works when conditions are right.1.We can know from the 3rd paragraph that farmers in early England _________.A. had land of their ownB. paid to use hawthorn trees every yearC. used hedging fieldsD. often suffered from financial loss2.Which of the following is wise?A. A mother tries to sleep as soon as her baby is quietB. Hay has to be cut and gathered before it is dryC. Put off gathering hay when the sun is shiningD. Gather hay as it is rainy3.If a boy is carefully listening to his teacher in class, he learns to _________.A. become a wise farmerB. hedge his betC. gather his hayD. make hay while the sun shines答案：CAD6My grandfather is eighty years old. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better."Families aren't what they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If the husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now parents are both busy working. No one has time to look after children at home.And the cars! No one walks anymore. More and more people drive. We used to walk five miles to school on school days, even in winter. But now we don't. And in school, children don't have to think anymore. In math class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide by using our heads. But now kids don't use their heads anymore. Instead, they use calculators.Most families have computers now. In the past we didn't have computers. We didn't even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now we don't often eat home-cooked food.And people talk less to each other than before. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think...Life used to be simple, but it isn't anymore."1. What does the grandfather think of the life now?A. It's as good as it used to beB. It's worse than it used to beC. It's better than it used to beD. It's the same as it used to be2. What does the underlined word "marriage" mean in Chinese?A. 生活B. 工作C. 婚姻D. 家庭3. What did the grandfather used to do?A. He used to use calculators in math classB. He used to drive to school in winterC. He used to go to school by bikeD. He used to walk five miles to school4. What changes have happened?①There are lights at home②People often eat home-cooked food now③Lots of families have computers④More and more people drive instead of walkingA. ①②④B. ②③④C. ①②③D. ①③④5.

Dreams are like short films. They are usually in colour. Some dreams are like old films. They come to us over and over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something. Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an answer. Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams. They may(可能) have been thinking about their work all day. These thoughts can carry over(携⼊) into dreams. Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can't remember the dream. Dreams can disappear (消失) quickly from memory (记忆). Too much dreaming can be harmful (有害的). The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is hard at work when we dream. That is why we may have a long sleep and still wake up tired. 1.

人教版八年级英语上册阅读理解12篇(含答案解析)
人教版八年级英语上册阅读理解12篇(一)Many animals migrate-they move over long ways, often at the same time and to the same place each year. They move to places where the weather is warmer, where there is more food and water, or where their young will be safer. Here are three amazing examples of migration: One of the largest animal migrations happens on the Serengeti plains(塞伦盖蒂平原) in Africa. More than one million wildebeest(角马) migrate in a big group. As the seasons change, they follow the rain, looking for better grass to eat and water to drink. They stay in one place while the grass and water are good, and then they move on. They return to the same places each year. Thousands of zebras and other animals travel with the wildebeest.Out of all migrating animals, Arctic terns(北极燕鸥) travel the longest way. These seabirds lay their eggs and raise their young in summer in the north of Europe, Asia and North America. Each year around August, they fly south over the oceans. They spend about five months near Antarctica, while it is warmer there. Then after the southern summer ends, they fly north again. Arctic terns travel more than 70.000 kilometers in a year.Salmon(蛙鱼) live most of their lives in the ocean. But when it’s time for them to lay their eggs, they return to the rivers where they were born. They move up rivers and streams to find the right place. Scientists think that the fish remember the special smell of their river, and this is how they find their way. Salmon can swim strongly up hills, and will jump high to get over waterfalls. ( )1．The word “migrate” means ________ in the first paragraph.A．移民B．迁徙B．C．搬家D．移动( )2．Animals migrate because ________.A．they need warmer weather B．they need foodC．they need good places to raise their young D．all of the above( )3．Arctic terns can travel ________ kilometers each year.A．5,000B．30,000C．over 70,000D．1 million( )4．Scientists think ________ helps salmon find their way as they migrate.A．the smell of the river B．the sound of the riverC．the warmth of the river D．the amount of water in the river答案详解本文介绍了角马、北极燕鸥和蛙鱼三个令人吃惊的迁徙例子。

新目标英语八年级阅读理解精选20篇阅读理解1Jack is a twenty-year-old young man. Two years ago, when he finished middle school, he found work in a shop. Usually he works until ten o'clock in the evening. He is very tired when he gets home. After a quick supper he goes to bed and soon falls asleep. His grandma who lives downstairs is satisfied with (满意) him.One day, on his way home, he met Mary. They were both happy. He asked the girl to his house, she agreed happily. He bought some fruit and drinks for her. And they talked about their school, teachers, classmates and their future (未来). They talked for a long time.“Have a look at your watch, please,”said the girl. “What time is it now?”“Sorry, something is wrong with my watch,”said Jack. “Where's yours?”“I left it at home.”Jack thought for a moment and found a way. He began to stamp his foot on the floor, “Bang! Bang! Bang!”The sound woke his grandma up. The old woman shouted downstairs, “It's twelve o'clock in the night, Jack.

5．因他表坏了，Mary 又没带，他们想知道时间阅读理解2We are all busy talking about and using the Internet (互联网), but how many of us know the history of the Internet?Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks (网络) didn't work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time.At first the Internet was only used by the government, but, in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made 'surfing' (浏览) the Internet more convenient.Today it is easy to get on-line (上网) and it is said that millions of people use the Internet everyday. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students.The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people's life.判断下列句子是否符合短文内容，符合的用“T”表示，不符合的用“F”表示。
l. The Internet has a history of less than thirty years.T F2. In the 1960s computer networks went wrong easily.T F3. Computers become cheaper so that many hospitals and banks were allowed to use them.T F4. People didn't have enough software to get on-line conveniently until the early 1990s.T F参考答案：1．F2．T3．F4．T讲解：1．第二段开头讲互联网是在60年代建立的，故至今历史已超过30年。
2．文中第二段阐明计算机网络工作状况不好(didn't work well)。
3．第三段中说明大学、医院等都被允许使用电脑，然而，计算机仍然很贵，并且网络很难使用。
4．由第三段最后几句介绍可知，到90年代，计算机便宜且好用。
科学家也发展了软件使网上浏览更方便。
而本题干用了not…until句型，译为“直到90年代早期人们才有足够的软件上网”。
