最新《八年级英语上册阅读理解》单元测试题(含答案) 1 一、八年级英语上册阅读理解专项练习（含答案解析） 1．阅读理解 How long is a year? Most people say a year is 365 days. It takes about 365 days for the earth to go around the sun. In fact, it takes a little longer for the earth to go around the sun. It needs 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds. If a year has only 365 days, what happens to the extra（额外的） 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds? The answer is this: Every four years, we have another day. It's February 29, and we call this day " a leap day（闰日）".This kind of year is called "a leap year". A leap year has 366 days. People born on February 29 are called leap-day babies, or leapers. There are about four million leapers in the world. When do they celebrate their birthday? Do they celebrate only once every four years? Some leapers celebrate the birthday on February 28, and others celebrate it on March 1. Think about it: A twelve-year-old leaper may have celebrated only three birthdays on the real day after he or she was born! Which year are leap years? Years that can be divided（除尽）by four are leap years. The year 2000 was a leap year. Then 2004,2008,2012,2016 were the next leap years. If you know a leaper, you must say "Happy birthday!" to him or her on the leap day, because you just have one time to do that every four years! （1）Why did the writer write the first paragrahp? A. To show us how the earth goes around the sun. B. To tell us why there is a leap year. C. To ask us some questions about a year. D. To show us a year is 365 days. （2）What can we know about the leapers' birthday? A. All of the leapers celebrate it on March 1 every year. B. All of the leapers celebrate it on February 29 every year. C. All of the leapers celebrate it on February 28 every year. D. All of the leapers can celebrate it on the real day every four years. （3）What can we learn from the third paragraph? A. How leap-day babies celebrate their birthdays. B. Why leap-day babies' birthdays are important. C. When leap-day babies celebrate their birthdays. D. Where leap-day babies celebrate their birthdays. （4）What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Something about the leap day and the leap year. B. How the idea of a leap year came from. C.
