2020-2021年八年级英语下册阅读理解达标检测卷（有答案）经典一、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Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print?Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare. And because there weren't many books, few people learned to read.Then printing was invented in China. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly.Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players.Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. So will books be replaced by computers one day? No, I don't think the Yao Ming posters on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a two-metre-high computer!（1）What does the writer do before he goes to sleep?A. He reads books.B. He reads newspapers.C. He looks through magazines.D. He looks at the posters on the wall.（2）When was paper first created?A. About 2,000 years ago.B. In the 19th century.C. About 1,000 years ago.D. In the 11th century.（3）Why were books expensive and rare before the invention of printing?A. People could not read.B. People could not write words on paper.C. People could not find silk, cotton or bamboo.D. People could only produce books one at a time by hand.（4）What happened after books became cheaper?A. People didn't want to buy books.B. Printing was invented in China.C. Knowledge and ideas spread quickly.D. The Internet was introduced to people soon.【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）D（4）C【解析】【分析】讲述了纸的起源，一开始的现状，讲述了纸和印刷术的发展过程。

2．阅读理解A proverb is a short, well-known saying that tells a common truth or belief. Proverbs are popular around the world.Many listeners have sent us their favorite proverbs. They give advice about how to live. We begin with two popular proverbs about staying healthy by eating good food. One is" An apple a day keeps the doctor away." The other is" You are what you eat."Several proverbs about birds also give advice. You may have heard this one: The early bird catches the worm. This means a person who gets up early, or acts quickly, has the best chance of success. Another famous proverb is" a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". This means you should not risk losing something you have by searching something that is not guaranteed（有保证的）.Another proverb warns "do not put all your eggs in one basket". This means you should not put all of your resources（资源） together in one place because you could risk losing everything at one time.Here is more advice: If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Also," Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today."Yet another proverb advises us not to be concerned about something bad that you cannot change. It says," There is no use crying over spilled milk."Do you agree with the proverb" Children should be seen and not heard"? Maybe you have told your children that" hard work never hurt anyone". But other people say that" all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". They believe it is not wise to spend all your time working but never having fun.Finally, here is one of our favorite pro-verbs: People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. This means you should not criticize other people unless you are perfect yourself.That's all for today. Thanks for listening.（1）A proverb is ________.A. a long sayingB. not famous at allC. about common truthD. only popular in China（2）The proverb "you are what you eat" advises us to ________.A. eat what we likeB. have a healthy dietC. eat an apple every dayD. eat as much as we can（3）If someone is slow in action, we can tell him/her the proverb "________".A. the early bird catches the wormB. do not put all your eggs in one basketC. all work and no play makes Jack a dull boyD. people who live in glass houses should not throw stones（4）What is this passage probably used for?A.

"What's the matter, my dear?" asked her mother, drawing her to her side and smiling."All our class must hand in compositions tomorrow. We must write 12 lines at least. But I can never write one. I'll have to go to school without a composition, for I won't copy one from a book, or ask you or papa to write one for me.""That's right," said her mother. "You'll be happier with a poor composition, if it's your own, than with a fine one written by somebody else. But cheer up. Run into the garden and play. I'll call you in half an hour. Don't think about your composition now. Just have a good time."It seemed just a few minutes to Susie before she heard her mother calling her. She went into the house immediately — her hands full of sweet flowers, and her face red with exercise.Then her mother asked her to sit by the window with a nice piece of paper and a pencil, and write something about what she could see. "Never mind your composition; do this to please me, and we'll talk about that later."Although Susie thought her mother's request was strange, she knew she always had a good reason for everything she did. So she did as her mother requested.As she looked out, she first saw the western sky and some bright, sunset clouds. "Oh, mother, what a sunset!""Don't talk. Just write."The pencil began moving rapidly across the paper. She wrote about the sunset clouds, the look of the distant hills, the streets, the river, the garden with its flowers, and the birds flying past the window. She forgot all about the terrible composition!Just as she had reached the bottom of the page, her mother came in and said with a smile, "Well, Susie, how does that composition come on?""Composition! You told me not to think about it, and I've never thought of it once. I've had such a nice time writing about what I could see from the window."Mrs. Smith took the paper and read what Susie had written. She said, "There, Susie, that's a very nice composition, really.""A composition! Is that a composition?" Susie asked in surprise."Yes, my dear, and a very good one, too, if we find a title for it," replied her mother. Then she added, "I'm sure it will please your teacher, as it does me. You see, it's easy enough to write a composition if you have anything interesting to write about."（1）Susie was unhappy when she came home because _____.A. she was punished by her teacherB. she couldn't write a compositionC. she forgot to take her composition homeD. she didn't get on well with her classmates（2）From the story we can know Susie's mother _____.A. had never understood her daughterB. had never talked with Susie's teacherC. knew how to write a good compositionD. wrote the composition for her daughter（3）The title of Susie's composition might be _____.A.

2020-2021年 八年级英语下册阅读理解单元检测题 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. words B. grammar C. culture D. 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. yes B. no C. thank you D. 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。 （1）细节题。根据To learn another language is more than just learning words and grammar. It involves （包括） learning about another culture too.可知我们需要学习单词、语法和文化，故选D。 （2）细节题。根据第三段Sometimes, cultural differences in body language can cause discomfort or misunderstanding.可知肢体语言文化差异可能导致误解，所以第四段讲的是微笑带来的误解，故选B。 （3）细节题。根据However, nodding and shaking your head have the opposite meanings in Albania.可知在Albania点头是no，摇头是yes，故选A。 （4）细节题。根据there are cultural differences in how much distance should be kept between two people who are talking with each other.可知两个人交谈时应该保持合适的距离，故选D。 【点评】考查阅读理解，主要考查细节题，注意从文中仔细寻找答案。
