Then you see a nice pie in the fridge. Do you eat it It seems that you shouldn't, for many reasons, including its influence on your studies.Scientists have long known that eating late at night can make us gain weight. But now a new study has shown that late— night eating can also have a bad influence on our brains—it might hurt our ability to learn new things and store memories.“We believe that late—night eating may affect（影响） our learning by affecting the parts of the brain that control learning and memory, "DawnLon, PhD, a project scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles said," we believe the timing of when we eat is the main cause of the damaged （受损的） memory."For the study, the researchers looked at mice with strict feeding plans for two weeks, the mice were either allowed to eat during the time when they are usually the most active, or during the time when they usually sleep.The mice received the same amount of sleep and calories.Then the researchers tested the brains of the mice. In one test, the researchers tried to find out whether the mice could remember that a room was connected to an electric shock（电击）after 24 hours had gone by.The researchers noticed that when the mice were put in the room again hose mice that ate when they should have been sleeping were less likely（可能的） to get scared than those mice that ate during usual hours. It means that they didn't remember.So think twice before the midnight snack— it might be bad for more than your weight.（1）What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer toA. Studying for long.B. A nice pie.C. A new stud.D. Late—night eating.（2）For the study, the researchers need to ______.A. check the brains of the mice before the test startedB. feed the mice only during the time when they usually sleepC. keep the mice in a room with an electric shock all the timeD. let the mice receive the same amount of sleep and calories（3）According to the passage, which of the following sentences is TRUEA. a recent study shows late eating affects weight.B. What we eat can affect learning and memory.C. The mice that ate during sleeping hours didn't remember.D. The mice that ate during usual hours didn't remember.（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the passageA. Eating snacks affects memoryB. Late eating hurts brainC. Never stay up lateD. Keep away from snacks【答案】（1）D（2）D（3）C（4）B【解析】【分析】主要讲了吃夜宵不仅会增加我们的体重。
人教版英语八年级上册初二年级第一学期期末英语复习—阅读理解
初中英语学习资料madeofjingetieji初二年级第一学期期末英语复习—阅读理解( 1 )The undersea world is very beautiful. Now more and more people want to dive in the water to find the secret there. Scuba diving is a new sport today. It can take you into a wonderful undersea world.You will find many strange animals in the sea. Some are as large as a school bus.Many sea animals give out light in the dark and some have sharp teeth.During the day, there is enough light. Here, under the sea, everything is blue and green. When fish swim nearby, you can catch them with your hands. When you have bottles of air onyour back, you can stay in deep water for a long time. However, you can't dive too deep. Andyou must be very careful when you dive in deep water.The deep sea is not an easy place to live in. It's cold, and it's dark, too. The deeper it is,the less sunlight there is. At about 3,000 feet, there is no light at all. It is very dark in the sea. Many fishes have no eyes. Some have big eyes. A few have eyes on one side.Besides the cold and the darkness, deep-sea animals face a third danger ― other animals. Animals eat! They must find food to eat. Many animals eat plants. However, some animals eat meat. This means these sea animals have two big jobs. They need to find animals as food, andthey have to try not to become other animals' meal.() 1. In the daytime, when you dive in the sea, you ______.A. can see everything green and blueB. can't be in dangerC. can catch nothingD. can ’seet anything clearly() 2.

The deeper the sea is, the darker and colder it is.D. At the depth of 3, 000 feet under the sea, all animals can find their way by seeing.（ 2）The British are known as people who love to stand in line, but a new research shows that the British are only about average at waiting politely in a queue (排队). The French are the best. It's the Germans who don't have a good habit of standing in line. They can't stand to wait for anything. They begin to shout loudly and noisily if the line doesn't seem to be moving fast enough. Sadly it never moves fast enough for them.The experts studied 940 people across Europe. They watched secretly as they waited inline-to get tickets, to order fast food and to wait for the bus. They found people who are goodat forming queues feel that they move along faster. For example, in Britain, the averagewaiting at a queue needs about three and a half minutes. In Germany or Sweden people hate waiting in line. In fact, people spend double the time as the British in queues. They get to the front of the queue without thinking about others, so they waste others' time.The expert who did the research had asked a person to break into a queue to see what people would do. In Britain, people shouted loudly at him, but when he said," I' m terribly sorry. I didn't realize there was a queue. Do go before me. " People smiled and said. "Oh, that's all right, one more won't matter much. "It was also found in France, where 80％ of the people didn't mind standing in line. Only if they were treated politely. While in Germany everyone was angry and wore an unhappy face. The expert said, "If only they could learn from the British and the French to think of queuing as an exercise in making the best of an unhappy thing, they might find that the queue then moves faster."() 1.The Germans spend more time than the British in queues because they _______.A. always talk a lot with othersB. like waiting in lineC. don't follow the rule of queuingD. don't know the rule of queuing() 2.According to the research, which of the following is TRUE ?A. The British didn't care about the queue jumper.B. The Germans were angry with the queue jumper.C. The French treated the queue jumper badly.D. The Swedish enjoyed themselves while queuing.()3. From the last sentence we know the expert wished the Germans could_______.A. have a good habit of standing in lineB. save others' time while queuingC. move quickly when queuingD. take exercise in queues（3）Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb themountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversationsthrough which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me,“ You shou goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the -mountainclimbing that we both enjoyed, wecouldn ’ t have enough time to spend together because myfather was very busy. I really got alot from mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought aswell as develop my patience ( 耐力 ).Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was onlyten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and thebirds ’ singing, but as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing. Infact, I hated it at that moment, but my father said to me,You can always see a “beautiful sky atthe top of the mountain, but you can’ t see it before you reach the top. Only there at the top, can you see all of the nice things, ju st like in life.”At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got new hopeand confidence (信心 ). I found myself standing at the top of the sky, which was as clear ascrystal (水晶 ).() 1.

Mothers in the US(5)Height is just one of the thousands of features your genes(基因)decide. In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then most probably you will be tall, too, butif you have questions about how tall you're going to be, ask your doctor if he or she canhelp you find it out.But genes don't decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential( 潜力 ). Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height.No doubt(思疑 ) you're wondering how fast you should grow. It depends. There's no perfect or right answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 2 inches (6 centimeters) a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty (when your body starts changing and becoming more grown up).Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. Two centimeters here and 2 inches there are not nearly as important as the height you're at now, how you've been growing up to this point, and what other changes your body may be going through.Don't be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt（巅峰） during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later ------between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.You'll usually begin to notice that you're growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.() 1.The Chinese for the word“puberty ”is __________.A. 童年时期B. 婴少儿时期C. 生长发育期D. 习惯养成期() 2.This passage is mainly about ____________.A. how the genes work in your bodyB. when is the time you grow fastC. why you look like your parentsD. how you grow to a certain height() 3.After reading this passage, we can explain ___________.A. how good it is to be a doctorB. how much sleep time we needC. why genes can’tdecide everythingD. what healthy diet is() 4.Which is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. You may be scared sometimes when you grow too fast.B The time showing the first changes of puberty is never noticed.C. Your height most probably depends on how high your parents are.D. Girls ’age for starting puberty is usually earlier than that for boys ’.（ 6）In the UK, most children have their lunches at school, but in some schools, parents can choose what their children eat. The children can have a school dinner— a hot, cooked meal; or they can take a packed（包装的）lunch with them, which usually includes cold food like sandwiches.Often parents know what their children want. Cath, a mother of three children, told us,“My children have packed lunches because they say they hate school dinners. So I make three packed lunches every morning. ”However, another mother, Susan, made a different choice. She said,“My daughters have always had school dinners. I think they probably get healthier food at school than a few sandwiches I make of them. ”But hoe healthy are school dinners? Kaz, a father, thought poorly of them. He said,“Fizzy (起泡的 ) drinks were offered and I think there were lot of chips.”Jamie Oliver spent a year working in a school kitchen. He was worried about the unhealthy food which included burgers, pizzas and chips. So he tried to cook healthy foodsuch as good stews and curries for the children instead.So Janie improved the school dinners, and trained the dinner ladies to cook healthy food in that school. Then he advised the government to improve school food across the country. And it seems that the changes have begun.Anna, a pupil, told us, “we used to have a fast food window where you got chips and coke, but they stopped that this year. There’s salad restaurant, which is good, so it ’s healthier than it was.”（） 1.How many meals do most children in the UK have at school?A. OneB. TwoC. ThreeD.

AsChina opens its doors ， studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students.They want to learn about the world.It's true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Language skills willimprove and it may be easier to find jobs.But there are problems that should be considered． Language is the first. Students mustspend a lot of time learning another language and getting used to a different culture.Students must also learn to live without parents’ care and deal with all kinds of things t haven't had to do before， like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinesestudents abroad sinking into an ocean of difficulties and giving up easily. When they have totake care of themselves， it is hard for students to study well.Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden to the family. For most Chinese parents,the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth doing ?We know that there are many famous people who succeed in great things through theirhard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there buthe refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher.

Stand in a very large, empty hall with nothing on the walls. Then shout. The sounds you make will hit the walls and come back to you. The walls reflect the sounds. These reflected sounds are called "echoes".We can use reflected sound to make sound travel farther. Hold a watch about fifty centimeters from your ear. You cannot hear it. The sound of the watch travels a short way inall directions. It does not travel as far as your ear. You can make it travel to your ear by using a roll of cardboard ( 纸板筒 ).Make the roll of cardboard about fifty centimeters long. Put one end over your ear and hold the watch at the other. Now you can hear the watch because the sound has not gone inall directions. It is reflected down the roll to your ear.A megaphone ( 喇叭筒 ) works in the same way. It makes sound travel farther. It reflects the sound into a beam which can travel a long way. In the ship, the sailor uses the megaphone to make his voice travel. Without the megaphone, his voice cannot travel far.We use reflected sound in many ways. We use it to measure the depth of the sea, for example. Among the animals, bats and whales use reflected sound to tell them where they are and what things are near them.() 1. What is called "echo"?A. Very loud voicesB.

From the text we learn that ________ .A. reflected sound is useful only to blind peopleB. people haven't made use of reflected sound yetC. bats use reflected sound to fly and get foodD. whales don't use reflected sound as they live in the sea() 4. If you haven't got a megaphone, _______ will help you to make your voice travel farther.A. a long piece of woodB. a roll of cardboardC. a thin threadD. a long piece of silk（9）When you are learning English, listening, speaking and writing are important, but readingcan also be very helpful.

They found that people whoexercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi’ s :“ The Four Season better on language ability tests than without music.“ Factsuggest that exercise improve the learning ability of people with heart disease, ”said the psychologist Charles Emery, who led the study.“ And listening to music is thought enhance understanding. We just wanted to put the two results together,” he added.The volunteers said they felt better emotionally and physically after working out with orwithout the music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music duringexercise. Scientists have proved that music can be good for health, education and well-being. Ithelps reduce stress, sadness and nervousness: encourages relaxation or sleep: wakes up thebody and improves memory and thoughts.In medical fields, music is used widely for patients who have had head hurts before andafter operation. “ The Four Seasons” was used because of its moderate tempo (舒缓的节拍 )and positive results in earlier research. “ Exercise seems to cause positive changes in thenervous system ( 神经系统 ) and these changes may have a direct result on learning ability,”Emery said.Scientists have been studying the results of music on understanding since the early 1950s. By1990, psychologists were using Mozart’ s music, especially his violin pieces, to help childrenwith speech disorders, Mozart was chosen because his music is not over-exciting and has clearstructures. A study showed students who listened to Mozart went on to score higher marks in anintelligence test. With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you tolisten to music.

They used the cocoa bean (可可豆) to make a chocolate drink and they enjoyed it very much. Many years later, the cocoa bean was broughtto other countries and people came to love the taste of chocolate.In 1824, John Cadbury opened a small shop in Britain. One of the things he sold was chocolate drink. In 1831, he opened a factory to make chocolate drink. He wanted to encourage people to drink chocolate instead of other drinks. A few years later, a man called Joseph Fry found a way to make chocolate instead of only drinking it. But at that time chocolate was very expensive and only the rich people could buy it. Later, ad more and more chocolate bars were produced and sold, it became cheaper.However, at first only plain chocolate (a kind of chocolate without milk and with verylittle sugar) was produced. Milk chocolate came later and this was made by adding milk to the chocolate. The first milk chocolate bar was made in Cadbury’s factory in 1897. Their most famous chocolate, Cadbury ’s Milk Bar, was made in 1905, It has been the most popular chocolate in Britain and around the world for over 100 years. The Cadbury factory is still in Britain and the chocolate produced there is eaten all over the world. Every year, thousands of visitors visit the factory in order to see how chocolate is made.() 1.Hundreds of years ago, people first began to drink chocolate in ________ .A. South AmericaB.

The USDA has prepared a food guide to help people learn about which kind of food is the healthiest to eat. The food guide describes six main food groups: meat (like fish and chicken), dairy (like milk and cheese), grains (like bread and rice), fruit, and vegetables. The last group is fats and sweets. The USDA also suggests how much of each food group is healthy to eat daily. Though this guide was prepared by the US government, it is very useful for people all over the world.As a result of years of study, we know that too much animal fat is bad for out health. For example, Americans eat a lot of meat and only a small amount of grains, fruit and vegetables. Because of the way they eat, they have a high rate of cancer and heart disease. In Japan, people eat large amounts of grains and very little meat. The Japanese also have a very low rate of cancer and heart disease. The Japanese live longer than anyone else in the world. However, when Japanese people move to the US, the rate of heart disease and cancer goes up as their eating habit changes. And as hamburgers, ice creams and other high-fat foods become popular in Japan, the rate of heart disease and cancer is going up there as well. People are also eating more meat and dairy food in other countries, in which the disease rate is going up alone with the change of the way people eat. Doctors everywhere suggest people eat more grains, fruit and vegetables and less meat and dairy food.Eating healthily is important for children as well as their parents. When parents have poor eating habits, their children usually do, too. After all, children eat the same way as their parents. When parents eat healthy food, the children will learn to enjoy it, too. Then they will develop good eating habits. Doctors suggest parents give their children healthier food such as fruit, vegetables and juice.Everyone wants to live a long, healthy life. We know that the food we eat affects us in different ways. For example, doctors believe that fruit and vegetables can really protect people from many different diseases. On the other hand, animal fat can cause diseases. We can change our eating habits now and enjoy many years of healthy living.() 1.What is the USDA in the passage?A. A group of doctors in the US.B. An office of the US government.C. A report on diseases in the US.D. An order given by the US president. () 2.The second paragraph mainly tells us that ______.A. Japanese are always healthier than AmericansB. living in the US is not good for people’s healthC. if you eat too much fat you will have cancerD. the way we eat may cause some health problems() 3.The greatest help the passage gives us is _______.A. to introduce a food guide to the worldB. to provide us with knowledge of six food groupsC. to suggest a way of eating for a healthy lifeD. to find the main cause of some serious diseases。

I'm afraid you'll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It's the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. Especially for the children in English-speaking countries. First, listen to others. Then, try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn't matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word. Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He's afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don't be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone as long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important, when there's nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It's interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you'll make.Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we're interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don't be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.Easier said than done. Well, let's do more practice from now on. I'm sure you'll learn English well in this way.（1）You can learn to swim by _________.A. reading books about itB. looking at others swimmingC. having lessons on itD. going into the river and learning（2）We should learn English by _________.A. listening and speakingB. reading and writingC. both A and BD. swimming（3）What will you do with mistakes when you speak?A.

八年级上册英语期末试卷阅读理解汇编经典及答案
八年级上册英语期末试卷阅读理解汇编经典及答案一、八年级英语上册阅读理解专项训练1．阅读理解Are you shy? If you are, you are not alone. In fact, close to 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives. These days, shyness is becoming more and more common. Now scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.Is it possible to be born shy? Many scientists say yes. They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists think that some shyness is genetic.Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had elder brothers or sisters, The scientists said that these children were often bullied （欺负）by their elder brothers or sisters. As a result, they became shy. At the same time, children with no brothers or sisters might be shy as well. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. They are not able to earn the same social skills as children from big families.You may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientists studied shyness in different countries, they found surprising differences. In Japan, most people said they were shy. But in Israel, only one of three people said so. What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and the Israeli have different opinions of failure. In Japan, when people do not succeed, they feel bad about themselves. They blame（责备）themselves for their failure. In Israel, the opposite is true, Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons, such as family, teachers, friends or bad luck. In Israel freedom of opinions and risk-taking are strongly supported. This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy.For shy people, it can be difficult to make friends, speak in class even get a good job. But scientists say you can get over your shyness, suggest trying new things and practicing conversations. And don't forget—if you are shy, you are not the only one.（1）What is the passage mainly about?A. Happiness.B. Shyness.C. Kindness.D. Loneliness.（2）What does the underlined word "genetic" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Passed down from parents.B. Learned from friendsC. Taught by teachers.D.

Many shy children have elder brothers or sisters.D. Most Israeli people are shy of expressing opinions.（4）We can learn from the passage that _______ may cause shyness.A. genes, grown-ups and birthplaceB. genes, family size and birthplaceC. family size, grown-ups and failureD. genes, family size and freedom2．阅读理解Joe Smith is a singer.

Hiroyuki's bed will solve your problem! Here is how it works.The bed is connected to an alarm clock. First, the alarm clock rings. You have a few minutes to wake up. Next, a tape recorder in the bed plays soft music. The tape recorder in Hiroyuki's bed plays a recording of his girlfriend. She whispers in a sweet voice, “Wake up, darling, please.” A few minutes later, Hiroyuki hears a recording of his boss. His boss shouts, “Get up at once, or you'll be late!”If you don't get up after the second recording, a mechanical “foot” in the bed will kick you onthe head. The bed waits a few more minutes. What!
