2．阅读理解 It is necessary to share your feelings with others. Sharing your feelings helps you to get closer to people you care about and who care about you. Sometimes it can be really hard not to tell anyone that you're feeling sad, worried, or upset. Don't keep feelings locked inside. If that, it can even make you feel sick! But if you talk with someone who cares for you, like your mom or dad, you will not be all alone with your problems or worries. It doesn't mean your problems and worries go off, but at least someone else knows what your trouble is and can help you find ways to do with it. If the person doesn't understand what you mean right away, try explaining it in a different way or give an example that has something to do with you. Of course, there are many ways for you to speak up your feelings. If you think you'll have trouble saying what's on your mind, write it down on a piece of paper. Some of us, just like some adults, are more private（有隐私的） than others. That means some people will feel shy about sharing their feelings. A kid doesn't have to share every feeling he or she has, but it is important to share feelings when a kid needs help. （1）The passage is mainly for ________. A. the teachers B. the parents C. the teenagers D. every reader （2）What does the underlined sentence tell us? A. Don't tell anything to others. B. Don't care about what others think. C. You should share your feelings with others. D. You have to stay inside and think it over. （3）According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A. Sharing your feelings makes you closer to people. B. Worrying too much even makes you feel sick. C. There are many ways to speak up your feelings. D. Teenagers are more private than adults. （4）In the writer's opinion, what will happen if you talk with someone about your worries? A. They will help you find ways. B. They will laugh at you. C. They will tell others about your worries. D. They will share the feelings with you. 【答案】 （1）C （2）C （3）D （4）A 【解析】【分析】文章大意：和他人分享感觉有助于人际交往，提到吐露心声的好处，提到表达感觉的方式有很多种。 （1）细节题。通读全文，可知，这篇文章主要告诉孩子，不要过于隐藏自己的心思，要懂得与他人沟通，因此是写给青少年的，故选C。 （2）推断题。划线句子 Don't keep feelings locked inside.，句意为不要把你的感受藏在心里，即应该与他人分享你的感受，故选C。 （3）细节题。根据文章提到的 Some of us, just like some adults, are more private than others可知，成年人的隐私更多，因此D选项错误，故选D。 （4）细节题。根据文章提到的 but at least someone else knows what your trouble is and can help you find ways to do with it 可知他们会帮助你找到方式，故选A。 【点评】考查细节题和推断题，做细节题的时候熟悉文章大意，熟悉问题，带着问题到文章找出答案，即可；做推断题的时候联系句子前后，确定句子的意思，即可。
3．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 "Homestay is a form of study abroad program. It allows a visitor to rent a room from a local （当地的） family to understand the local lifestyle better. It also helps to improve the visitor's language ability," said a teacher, during a school meeting last term. "Students who wish to learn more about foreign cultures or to get foreign experience should join this kind of holiday. I am sure you won't be disappointed （失望的）." After this special meeting, I always thought about this kind of holiday. Last month I had a chance at last to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London—a place where I had wanted to go since years ago. As we were still young, we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to London, we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family （寄宿家庭） was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. They treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from them too. The holiday was filled with activities every day. After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sightseeing trip to different places of interest, like the Big Ben, the London Bridge and the Buckingham Palace. We would go back to

If you think there aren't enough camels in Australia for a camel race, think again! Australia has the world's largest camel population. In the 19th century people used them for journeys when there wasn't enough water for their horses. When railways and roads arrived, the camels weren't useful anymore, but they lived very happily in Australia's central desert.The other strange race in Alice Springs is the Henley-on-todd Regatta. The name comes from a famous boat race at Henley-on-thames in England. But there's one big difference. There's always water in the Thames but the Todd River in Alice Springs is almost always dry. They use boats without a bottom(底)and teams of people run along the river bed,carrying their boats with them.

They thought the best way was to send men to the moon.The moon is about 384, 000 kilometers away from the earth. A plane can't fly to the moon because the air reaches only 240 kilometers away from the earth. But something can fly even when there is no air. That is a rocket.How does a rocket fly? There is gas(气体)in the rocket. When the gas is made very hot inside the rocket, it will rush out of the end of the rocket, so it can make the rocket fly into the sky.Rockets can fly far out into space.

Bangkok is a wonderful place to shop for jewelry(珠宝)and clothes. My mother bought a nice necklace(项链). My father and I bought some fashionable T-shirts.Thailand is called "Land of Smiles"because people here are very friendly, And it's true! When we eat in the restaurants in Bangkok, the waiters are really nice and they are always smiling. Thai food is delicious ,but it is sometimes a little spicy（辛辣的）for me．You can also get Chinese food here because a lot of Chinese people came to live in Bangkok many years ago. Chinese food is very good, and it isn't as spicy as Thai food. Our American food can also be found in Bangkok, however, I don't eat it. You know, I'd like to try new things when I travel.The weather has been very hot. Yesterday it rained and got a little cooler. But today it's hot again.根据短文内容填空。

【初中英语】八年级英语下册阅读理解练习题人教版一、八年级英语下册阅读理解专项练习（含答案解析）1．阅读理解When you communicate with others, you express your thoughts and feelings not only through the words you choose, but also through your body language.To learn another language is more than just learning words and grammar. It involves （包括）learning about another culture too. Body language is different from culture to culture, so there is something that language learners should know about.Sometimes, cultural differences in body language can cause discomfort or misunderstanding. For example, there are cultural differences in how much distance should be kept between two people who are talking with each other. If you would like people to keep a distance, you may feel very uncomfortable when someone keeps trying to stand close to you at a party.In some Asian countries, a smile can show embarrassment（尴尬） or apology. However, smiling back at a teacher who is unhappy with you, or someone whose foot you accidentally stepped upon is probably not a good idea in most English-speaking countries.In most countries, nodding your head means "yes" and shaking your head means "no". However, nodding and shaking your head have the opposite meanings in Albania.Even speakers of the same language, such as British, American or Australian people, may not use the same body language .So learning how to understand and use body language is important to you to improve your communicative abilities.（1）To learn another language, we need to learn its .A. wordsB. grammarC. cultureD. A, B & C（2）Which of the following sentences can be put in the blank of the fourth paragraph?A. The world shines when a smile is on your face.B. Another example of misunderstanding is the use of the smile.C. Just smile, you will find the world is so peaceful and beautiful.D. Never forget to smile because it is sometimes better than an apology.（3）In Albania, shaking your head means .A. yesB. noC. thank youD. excuse me（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Body language is the same in every country.B. In every Asian country, a smile can show apology.C. Speakers of the same language use the same body language.D. You should keep a comfortable distance when talking with someone.【答案】（1）D（2）B（3）A（4）D【解析】【分析】主要讲了怎样理解和使用肢体语言的重要性。

One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all made boats and left, except for Love.Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment. When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, “Richness, can you take me with you?” Richness answered, “No, I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.” Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. “Vanity, please help me!” “I can’t help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat,” Vanity answered. Sadness was close by so Love asked, “Sadness, let me go with you.” “Oh...Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!” Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.Suddenly, there was a voice, “Come, Love, I will take you.” It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder, Love asked Knowledge, another elder, “Who helped me?” “It was Time,” Knowledge answered. “Time?” asked Love. “But why did Time help me?” Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, “Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is.”1．Why did the feelings leave the island?A．Because they didn’t want to stay there.B．Because the island would sink.C．Because there wasn’t enough place for them to live there.D．Because the island will become smaller.2．How many feelings did Love ask for help?A．Three.B．Four.C．Five.D．Six.3．Why didn’t Happiness help Love?A．Because he wanted to be alone.B．Because there was no place for Love in her boat.C．Because she was too happy to hear Love’s calling.D．Because Love was wet and would damage her boat.4．Who saved Love at last?A．Happiness.B．Sadness.C．Knowledge.D．Time.CBeauty sleep is a real thing, researches have shown that people who have enough sleep look more attractive (有魅力的) to others.A few bad nights is enough to make a person look "especially" more ugly, theirsleep experiments show.The researchers asked 25 university students to join in their sleep experiment. They were asked to get a good night's sleep for two nights.A week later, they were asked to sleep for only four hours every night for two nights in a row.The researchers took make-up free (素颜) photos of the volunteers after both the good and the bad sleep.Next, they asked 122 strangers to have a look at the photos and judge (评价) them on attractiveness, health, and sleepiness, as well as asking them: "How much would you like to make friends with this person in the picture?"The strangers were good at judging if the person they were looking at was tired, and, if they were sleepy, their attractiveness score was low.The strangers also said they wouldn't want to socialize with the tired students. Theresearchers say this is natural for people. An unhealthy-looking face makes people run away.

According to the China Manned Space Agency, Tiangong 1 re-entered (重返) the Earth’s atmosphere (大气层) and some of its debris (碎片) fell into the South Pacific Ocean.There are many spacecraft that are still in orbit (轨道) above the earth. After finishing their trips, they will all re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere like Tiangong 1.There are two types of re-entries: controlled re-entry and uncontrolled re-entry.Some satellites and manned spacecraft come back to the earth in a controlled re-entry. Experts calculate (计算) the path of the falling spacecraft and its speed. They can guide the spacecraft to fall into a chosen area.Some spacecraft may have problems while in space after a certain amount of time. These spacecraft come back in an uncontrolled re-entry. It is hard to tell when and where they will fall until the last few hours. The US space station Skylab came back partially uncontrolled in 1979. Parts of the station fell in Western Australia, but no one was hurt.During the re-entry, most of the spacecraft will burn up while passing through the Earth’s atmosphere. Only a small amount of the debris ends up falling into the ocean, China Daily reported.1．The debris from Tiangong 1 _________.A．fell into the South Pacific Ocean B．fell into Western AustraliaC．fell into the central part of the US D．fell into North Pacific Ocean2．From the passage we know that there are ________ kinds of re-entries.A．two B．three C．four D．five3．This passage is most probably from _________.A．a storybook B．a poster C．a science magazine D．a government reportDActress Jiang Yiyan has spent around a month a year volunteering as a teacher in mountain villages in Guangxi for nine years in row（连续）.In 2007, when she took part in film shooting in that area. she was shocked by the poverty（贫穷）there.

So she came up with the idea of doing something for these children.Besides giving classes, Jiang also plays games with children and sings songs for them. And she cares much for their daily life. Moreover, she donated billion yuan to set up a fund（基金）for students there.“Like the grass in stone clefts（裂缝），they have to try their best to find sunshine on their own rather than waiting for others to do it for them. "Jiang said.When asked how she persisted in her volunteer to services for such a long time, Jiang said,"I’m not persisting but enjoying.“It's not that I gave these kids love. I am actually learning about love. "Jiang added.To enjoy and share love is seen as the most important thing in her life.At the same time, children in the big mountains have also influenced Jiang.Whenever I meet with something difficult to do, I'll think of these kids.

The year 2021 will bring plenty of works. According to news website TMT, 188 Chinese animated series will come out this year on Tencent Video, iQiyi, Youku and Bilibili. Among them are new seasons of older shows, including the fourth season of Douluo Dalu and the second season of Shaonian Gexing.Nearly half of the new works are in guofeng (国风) style, or “traditional Chinese style”. The stories are mostly based on Chinese legends (传说) or literature. For example, The Westward comes from Journey to the West. The Legend of Qin VII follows the Qin Dynasty from when the Emperor of the Kingdom of Qin, Ying Zheng to the rise of the king of Western Chu, Xiang Yu.Other animations are different. Modao Zushi is one of them. It’s based on fiction, but the animation has many elements of traditional Chinese culture. For example, it brings the traditional Chinese water-ink paintings and guofeng music together.“As our society gets wealthier, it’s natural that Chinese people take greater pride and confidence in their own cultural,” Mou Aili, associate professor at the School of Animation with Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in Chongqing, told China Daily. This is why these guofeng animations are rising in China.1．From the passage what can’t we learn about guofeng style?A．It means traditional Chinese style.B．It’s based on Chinese legends.C．It’s based on Chinese literature.D．All the new works are in guofeng style.2．Which of the following is wrong about Maodao Zushi?A．It’s based on fiction.B．It has many elements of traditional Chinese culture.C．It comes from Journey to the West.D．It brings the traditional Chinese water-ink paintings and guofeng music together.3．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Animations around the world.B．Chinese animations.C．Chinese legends.D．Guofeng animations.FYou might ask, “Where will the universe go? Will it ever come to an end?”Scientists have been thinking about these questions. However, it’s hard to know what will happen. After all, the universe is so big. Still, scientists have made some guesses about the fate of the universe. As US poet Robert Frost once wrote, “Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice.”In the 1800s, the study of heat showed that the universe might someday experience “heat death”. Our universe “runs” properly because of temperature differences. It’s kind of like how a car engine is able to run because it’s hotter inside the engine than outside the engine. But if temperatures become the same everywhere in the universe, certain energy processes will stop working and the universe will die. Will the universe continue to expand? And what will happen next? Here are some related theories.The Big Rip(大撕裂)We know that our universe is expanding. Dark energy causes it to expand faster and faster. This theory suggests that this expansion will continue forever. Finally, the expansion’s speed will become so great that everything in the universe will be ripped apart.The Big Freeze(大冻结)As the universe expands, galaxies, stars and planets will pull away from each other. Light from stars will no longer reach the Earth. This will make the universe colder. Finally, the temperature of the universe will reach absolute zero. All movement stops at this temperature.The Big Crunch(大崩坠)This theory is different from the other two. Instead of expanding forever, it suggests that the mass of the universe will reverse the expansion. Then, likea star that grows too large, the universe will collapse in on itself, maybe creating a new condition. 1．The US poet Robert Frost’s words mean ________.A．it’s interesting to predict the futureB．it’s hard to predict the futureC．the future will end in fireD．the future will end in ice2．From Paragraph 3, we know ________.A．the Earth might become hotter and hotterB．the Earth’s energy processes are different from the car’sC．the universe will be sure to expand in the futureD．the universe “runs” properly because it has the same temperature3．When we say the universe will continue to expand forever. Everything in the universe will be ripped apart, the theory is called ________.A．the Big Rip B．the Big Freeze C．the Big Crunch D．the Big Bang 4．The meaning of the underlined word “collapse” is similar to “________”.A．speed up B．fly up C．set down D．fall down 5．Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage?A．The theory of the Big Crunch is offered by scientists from the us.B．Humans didn’t start to study the universe until the 1800s.C．Light from stars won’t get to the Earth when the universe expands.D．When the universe gets hot, it will become very active.GHave you ever walked into a room and felt relaxed? It could be because the walls were painted blue, a calm and peaceful color.Sometimes colors can affect our feelings and moods. Some colors can make us feel calm and peaceful. Blue is one of these. Wearing blue clothes or sleeping in a blue room is good for our mind and body, because this color makes a good feeling. Blue is also the color of sadness, so you may say you’re feeling blue when you are feeling sad. White is another calm color. You should wear white clothes if you are feeling nervous. White is also the color of purity(纯洁). Manywomen like to be in white on their wedding day. Green is the color of nature. It can give us more energy when we are feeling tired.Some colors can make you feel warm. These colors can give you a happy feeling. People who live in cold climates use warm colors in their homes like orange and yellow instead of white and blue.Orange shows joy. It can bring you success and cheer you up when you are feeling sad. Yellow is the color of the sun, so it can remind you of a warm, sunny day. Yellow is also the color of wisdom. Some people prefer this color when they study for exams. For example, they may use yellow school things. Red is one of the strong colors. Wearing red often makes us active.In short, we can try out different colors if we aren’t feeling our best.1．According to the passage, which color of the following can make you feel relaxed? A．Yellow.B．Orange.C．Red.D．White. 2．What’s the meaning of the sentence “She is blue today.”?A．She is angry.B．She is sad.C．She is bored.D．She is excited. 3．Some students prefer yellow rulers or erasers when they study for exams because yellow is the color of _______.A．wisdom B．purity C．nature D．peace 4．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A．People who live in cold climates had better paint the walls of their houses white.B．Many women like to be in white on their wedding day because it’s the color of purity.

She would like to give the boy some money, but she didn't have any with her. So the boy asked her if she could give him the old box. Then he could sell it for a little money. At first the queen hesitated (犹豫), because she had been told the box had magical powers. But seeing how poor the boy was, she gave it to him. The boy took the box and opened it.Immediately, all the most wonderful things one could imagine started flying out of the box and a voice said, “Why look for it in others?
