牛津版（深圳·广州）初中英语八年级上册期末复习（题型专练）：阅读理解D卷姓名:________ 班级:________ 成绩:________一、阅读理解 (共10题；共80分)1. （8分）阅读理解Have you ever noticed the black and white bars on a book？Do you know what they are used for?They are barcodes（条形码）used in most products. If you go to a supermarket, you can see almost every product with a barcode on it. Barcodes have information about the product, such as name and production date. It's an easy and convenient way to know about the products. Just scan the barcode and everything is clear.The first use of a barcode in a supermarket checkout system was on a pack of American Wrigley Company chewing gum in 1974. Beyond supermarkets, barcodes are needed everywhere: for renting cars, for luggage checks on a plane, for parcels you send. Life would be rather difficult without barcodes. Most of our things would get lost in the post.Barcodes change as well. Barcodes in the past were 1-D(one-dimensional空间), but now there are 2-D barcodes, such as QR code. Since 2009, QR has been used on Chinese train tickets. People can enter stadiums, cinemas and theaters by holding certain types of barcodes.With these small codes, life is getting much easier for us.If you find these barcode things boring, a barcode building might be more up your street. In St Petersburg, Russia, there is a building designed like a barcode. It looks strange, but it's actually a shopping mall. There are games too. Barcode Monsters is a mobile phone game. You have to scan barcodes and find the monsters!（1）Barcodes were first used in ______.A . 1974 in the UKB . 1974 in the USC . 2009 in ChinaD . 2009 in Russia（2）The underlined word “scan” might mean “_____” in Chinese.A . 复印B . 展示C . 描写D . 扫描（3）From Paragraph 3 and 4, we can learn that _____.A . barcodes are very useful in our daily lifeB . our things will get lost without barcodesC . barcodes make our life rather difficultD . we can't live without barcodes（4）Which of the following is NOT true about the barcode building?A . It looks like a barcode.B . It's in St Petersburg, Russia.C . It's used as a shopping mall.D . Its name is Barcode Monsters.（5）The best title of this passage is _____.A . From 1-D Barcodes to 2-D BarcodesB . Why Barcodes are Black and WhiteC . Small Codes that Make a Big DifferenceD . What if the World Doesn't Have a Barcode2. （8分）阅读理解More and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise. It is fun, healthy and good for the environment. Maybe that's why there are 1.4 billion bicycles and only 400 million cars on roads worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil cost!Get on a bicycle and ride around your neighbourhood. You may discover something new around you. Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your car. You can bike to work and benefit(受益) from the enjoyable exercise without polluting the environment. You don't even have to ride all the way.Folding(折叠) bikes work well for people who take the train. Just fold the bike and take it with you. You can do the same on an airplane. A folding bike can be packed in a suitcase. You can also take a common bike with you when you fly. But be sure to look for information by visiting airline websites. Not all airlines are bicycle-friendly to travelers.Health Benefits of Bicycling:It helps to prevent heart diseases.Bicycling helps to control your weight.A 15-minute bike ride to and from work three times a week burns off five kilos of fat in a year. Bicycling can improve your moods(心情).Exercise like bicycling has been shown to make people feel better, more relaxed and self-confident. Bicycling is healthier than driving.（1）From the passage, we know that bicycling is becoming veryA . surprisingB . excitingC . expensiveD . popular（2）When you are riding your bicycle around your neighbourhood, you may .A . pollute the, environment aroundB . find something you didn't noticeC . go everywhere and use a little oilD . get off your bike and begin to work（3）If you travel with a folding bike, you can fold it and .A . get out of the carB . take it onto a trainC . put it in your purseD . visit airline websites（4）One of the benefits from bicycling is that .A . you can fold the bicycleB . you will be friendly to othersC . you will be more relaxedD . you may get fatter and fatter3. （8分）阅读理解When you speak to foreigners, what will you do if you can't understand their languages? Will you use your body language to help you, or just say sorry to them and then go away? Learning spoken language is very important, but learning local gestures（手势） is also very necessary.I often use gestures to communicate with someone whose language I don't know. We use our hands to talk with each other. Although we don't understand the others' words, our hand movements make our conversation more necessary.However, gestures aren't always clear. Different gestures may have different meanings in different countries and cultures.In many countries, people move their hands at someone to call him to come near. In the United States, people usually move hands at somebody with their palms（手掌） up and sometimes move just one finger.But in many countries in Asia, hand movements like that would be impolite. In Asia, many people move hands at someone with their palms down using all fingers.Do you use your thumb, your thick short finger to make gestures? In western countries, "thumbs-up" means agreement. But it is very rude in parts of Africa.If you want to say "OK" in America, you can make a circle with the thumb and the second finger. But in France, it means "zero", and it is very rude in many other countries.You can use your second finger to point at something but not at somebody in the United States. However, in some parts of Europe, Asia and Africa, pointing at anything with one's second finger is not polite."V" form is often used when people take photos. But using two fingers to make up the "V" shape means "peace" in the West.The last example is that people in parts of Asia point to their noses to mean themselves, but people in western countries usually point to their chests.Gestures are important, but also have different meanings.（1）It's OK in to call someone to come near by moving just one finger.A . AmericaB . AsiaC . AfricaD . Europe（2）According to the passage, we can learn that .A . pointing one finger at someone in the United States is sometimes allowedB . using "thumbs-up" as your body language is very rude in parts of AfricaC . making a circle with the thumb and the next finger means"0"in AmericaD . using two fingers to make up the "V" shape means "success" in the West（3）There are examples of different gestures in the passage.A . fiveB . sixC . sevenD . eight（4）The best title of this passage can be .A . Work Hard to Learn Different Cultures around the WorldB . Talk to Other People with Spoken Language SuccessfullyC . DifferentGestures Are Difficult to Understand and LearnD . Make Sure Your Gestures Are Saying What You Want to Say4. （8分）阅读理解I am Steve. I was born and grew up in South Wales. My favourite place to play was out on the hills where my imagination had plenty of space to expand (拓展).My family moved out of Wales when I was thirteen. I went to a new school. One of my subjects wasFrench. Because I had never learned any French, my teacher told me to sit in the corner and write anythingI was interested in. That's the time I started writing, just for myself, and I've been writing ever since.I have always loved BIG IDEAS, and so I enjoy writing fantastic stories. And I also write horror (恐怖) stories. I think they are like the old fairytales (童话故事), and can teach you important things.I am in my forties on the outside, twelve on the inside. I like rock music, Indian and Chinese food, andI enjoy drinking. I live in a small village with my wife Mary,ducks,cats, goats,hens and lots of rabbits.

Writer Ellie Clare, has been to five cities around the world to find out. This week she writes about Paris.I went to Paris in June. It's a lovely city for sightseeing at that time of year, but it's alsoa great place to find high-quality fashion. I started in the speciality stores and visited all the top names, including Cartier, Chanel and Christian Dior. I've never seen such beautiful things, but they are, of course, very expensive. I bought some perfume and moved on to the huge department stores in Paris. Two of the most famous are Primtemps and Galleries Lafayette and they are definitely good places to visit. One place I found disappointing was the Champ-Elysees, the most famous street in Paris. In the old days, it was a great place for fashion, but now there are too many fast-food restaurants, banks, airline offices, shopping centres and cinemas aimed at tourists. Don't waste your time there!After the shops I tried the markets. One of the most famous places to find treasures in Paris is the flea market. There are three main flea markets --- each selling an unbelievable range of old and second hand goods. They are located around the old gates to the city. I spent hours walking around these fascinating places and while I was there I discovered the meaning of the name 'flea market'. Hundreds of years ago, the royal family gave away their old clothes, which were then sold by people at these markets. But the clothes were full of little insects --- fleas of course! One of the stall sellers told me that the best time to find treasures at the market was before the crowds arrived, usually between 5am and 6am. But that was a bit early for me. I was enjoying the Paris night life too much! There are also open-air markets all around the city where you can buy flowers, clothes, pets, food and many other things. And if you want to buy a book, visit the rows of bookstalls along the River Seine. You can find some great bargains there, or you can spend hours just looking.If you want to buy half of Paris or if you just want to walk around and look, you'll love the experience. Paris is a great place to shop!（1）What is the main purpose of the article?A . To advertise some of the famous Paris stores.B . To inform readers about the best places to shop in Paris.C . To introduce some of the famous tourist attractions in Paris.D . To compare shopping in Paris to shopping in other French cities.（2）Why was the writer disappointed with the Champ-Elysees?A . There were too many tourist-oriented businesses there.B . There were no clothes on sale there.C . There were too many tourists in the area.D . The stores kept changing too often.（3）What is sold at the Paris flea markets?A . Insects.B . Old things.C . The clothes of kings.D . Expensive jewellery.（4）Why didn't the writer go to the flea market at the best time?A . It was too crowded.B . It was too early.C . She was too busy.D . She was too excited.（5）Where is the best place to buy books according to the writer?A . The book shops in the large department stores.B . The open markets all around the city.C . The flea markets near the city gate.D . The stalls along the River Seine.6. （8分）阅读理解A . turkeyB . zongziC . cakesD . dumplings（2）Of the three festivals, _______ is in December.A .

Li Xiang doesn't like the dragon boat races7. （8分）阅读理解Music and Art will enter the Entrance Exam for the high school in Jiangsu. Without music, life would be a mistake. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets (预算).For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired (解雇) over 1,000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That's partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn't tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often.However, learning music is beneficial (有益的) in many ways.When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode (解码) them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano.（1）Some schools in the US cut music classes, because ________.A . students in the US weren't interested in musicB . they were too difficult to learnC . there weren't enough music teachers in the USD . the schools wanted to control budgets（2）In Paragraph 2, what does the underlined word "them" refer to (指代)？A . Public schools.B . Fired teachers.C . Parents in Chicago.D . Students in Chicago.（3）What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?A . Different abilities are needed to work together while we are playing music.B . Playing the piano needs people to use fingers to make sounds.C . Decoding music notes is needed while we are playing music.D . Playing the piano needs people to see music notes.（4）What's the writer's opinion according to this passage?A . Music is as simple as it looks.B . Music classes should be cut in some schools.C . Music is a big part of our lives.D . Music isn't a very important life skill for us.8. （8分）阅读理解A few days ago, I ran into a stranger as he passed by. I said sorry to him. And we were very polite. Then we went on our way after saying goodbye.Later in the kitchen at home, as I cooked our meal, my daughter Betty walked up to me. When I turned around, I nearly knocked her down. "Get out of the way!" I shouted angrily. She ran away, crying.That night, when I lay in bed, my husband said to me, "You were so rude to Betty. Go and look around on the kitchen floor, and you'll find some flowers there. Betty brought those for you. She picked them herself—pink, yellow, and your favorite blue."When I heard this, I thought deeply, "While meeting with a stranger, I was calm and polite, but with my daughter, I was not patient." I felt sad and tears began to fall.I quietly went to Betty's bed, "Wake up, my dear!" I said. "Are these the flowers you picked for me?" She smiled, "I found them by the tree. I know you like them, especially the blue ones." I said, "I am so sorry that I treated you that way today." And she whispered (悄声说), "Mommy, that's okay. I still love you anyway." I kissed her and said, "I love you, too and 1 do love the flowers."That day Betty gave me a lesson on how to get along with each other in the family. I spent much time on work and didn't realize how important family life was. I decided to do better in the future.（1）What did the writer do when she ran into a man?A . She got mad at him.B . She didn't say sorry to him.C . She said sorry to him politely.D . She left without saying anything.（2）Why did the writer feel sorry for what she had done?A . Because her husband didn't love her.B . Because her daughter brought her some flowers.C . Because she used to be friendly to others.D . Because she spent less time on her family life.（3）According to the passage, which do you think is I he best title?A . How to get along with a strangerB . I love my daughterC . My daughter gave me a good lessonD . How to be a polite person9. （8分）阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

初中英语 牛津深圳版八年级上册期末复习-阅读专项训练 (有答案)
八上阅读专项训练（一）(A)Most people want to work, but it has become more difficult in today’s world to find work for everyone. The economy of the world needs to grow by 4% each year just to keep the old number of jobs for people. Often this is not possible, and so more people are out of work.

Many people said that it would kill animals and the engine would catch fire to their houses. George Stephenson told the people that the train could go on small rails, and it could pull carriages full of things and passengers and there was nogreat danger to them. It was difficult for him to make them believe (相信). However，after some time, he was able to do it, and the first train that was driven by Stephenson himself showed what he had said. On the train there was a new steam engine. It was invented by him, and it was a complete success. The first day when the train ran on the rails, people along the way heard the noise and saw it running quickly to them. They ran quickly back home and closed their doors. They didn’t come out until it went away.A week later an old woman still said that her hen was so frightened (受惊吓的）that it didn’t lay any eggs for three days.( )36.

What’s the main idea of the passage?A.If you study hard, you will be a great inventor.B.We all should have a dream to invent something.C.When you invent something, you should show it to others.D.Every successful inventor has difficulties in their work.DMany great inventions changed the way we live. The first great invention was the one that is still very important today — the wheel.There were few inventions that had as much influence as the wheel for many years. In the early 1800s, the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People began to work to make life better.In the 19th century, many great inventions such as the camera, the light and the telephone came into being.The 20th century saw more great inventions —movies with sound in 1910, the computer in 1946, and jet planes (喷气式飞机）in the 1930s. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wore.By this time human beings had a strong wish to explore (探索）again. The worldwas known to human beings but the stars were not. Human beings began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space.In 1969 human beings took their biggest step from the Earth. An American first walked on the Moon. That was just a beginning. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never thought.。

But do you know it took men millions of years to be able to think this way？in Fact. one of the most difficult things to teach children is the idea of numbers.In ancient times.when a man wanted to tell how many animals he owned, he had no system（系统）of numbers to use. He put a stone into a bag for each animal. The more animals, the more stones he had. It may explain why the word "calculate" comes from the Latin word "calculus". "Calculus" means "stone."Then, man used lines to count. People would just draw a line for each thing they wanted to count, but they had no word to tell the number.Later on, people used fingers. Again we have word that goes back to this. The word "digit" comes from the Latin word "digitus". It means "finger"! And the fact that we have 10 fingers led to the use of 10 in the system of numbers.The number system we use today was invented by the Hindus in India thousands of years ago and was brought to Europe during 8th to 11th by Arab traders（商人）. In this system, people count things with ten numbers. 1. 2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.and 0.
