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

    More than fifty years ago, Barbie Millicent Roberts first appeared in the world of toys. Since then, Barbie doll, as everyone called her, has become the most successful toy doll in history. Her parent, the Mattel Company, said that 90G of all American girls between 3 and 10 have at least one Barbie at home.

    However, Barbie is facing some trouble at present. There are many similar dolls on the market in competition with her. Another doll named Bratz, for example, came to life about sixteen years ago. She looks more like today's pop stars with heavy makeup（浓妆） and miniskirts. And her company offers more kinds of clothes.

    It seems that Barbie has lost her magic among older girls. "For younger girls, playing with a Barbie is much funnier. But when you get older, you want something smarter and more modern," says Vera Shepherd, a shop assistant of a toy store in New York.

    It is good news that on the international market, Barbie is still No. 1. Although Mattel is selling fewer Barbies in the United States these years, sales in other countries are still going up. Mattel opened its first Barbie store in Shanghai, where girls can shop, eat, drink or even become fashion designers for their own Barbies.

    Mattel is planning big celebrations for Barbie's 58th birthday. Fashion designers from all over the world have been called to make new dresses for Barbie. How long will Barbie stay popular in the world of toy dolls? It is hard to say, but 58 is surely not the age to retire（退休）.

（3）Girls can do the following in the first Barbie store in Shanghai EXCEPT       .

2．阅读理解

    Have you ever thought about what our food will be like in the future? As the population is growing fast, there must be changes in our food.

    More land will be used for building houses for people. Then there will be less space for cattle and chickens, so meat will be more expensive. Instead, people will eat more fruit and vegetables.

    Scientists are always trying out new ways of growing food. Only one third of the Earth's area is land and the rest is sea, so some think maybe we can get more food from the sea.

    Besides, though rice supports more than half of the world's population, it needs a lot of water to grow. Scientists predict（预测） the climate will get drier during the next century. Therefore, it might be impossible to grow rice in the future. Some farmers are experimenting with new crops. Farmers like to grow beans because they don't need much water, and beans also improve the quality of the soil. The soybean （黄豆） makes a good substitute（替代品） for rice and meat.

（1）Why won't some people eat meat every day in the future according to the passage?

A. Because meat makes people fat.                 B. Because meat may be more expensive.

（2）Where can we get more food according to the passage?

A. From the sea.           B. From the land.            C. From the rivers.           D. From other planets.

（3）Why might it be impossible to grow rice in the future according to the passage?

A. Because growing rice is hard work.               B. Because people will eat less rice.

C.   Because rice needs much water to grow.    D. Because it takes too much time to grow rice.

（4）Which of the following about beans is NOT true?

A. Beans may be popular for farmers to grow.   B. Beans need as much water as rice to grow.

C. Beans improve the quality of the soil.            D. Beans can take the place of rice and meat.

【解析】【分析】短文大意：这篇短文讲的是将来人们的食物会是什么样的。在将来肉很贵，人们将吃的更多的是水果和蔬菜。人们从海洋中得到更多的食物。随着下个世纪气候的变干旱，在将来种植水稻是不可能的。人们会种植豆类，黄豆会制成米和肉好的替代品替。

（1）细节理解题。根据 Then there will be less space for cattle and chickens, so meat will be more expensive.那时牛和鸡的生存空间更小了，因此肉将更贵。 故选B。

（2）细节理解题。根据 Only one third of the Earth's area is land and the rest is sea, so some think maybe we can get more food from the sea. 地球只有三分之一是陆地，因此一些人认为或许我们能从海洋获取更多的食物。故选A。

（3）细节理解题。根据 Besides, though rice supports more than half of the world's population, it needs a lot of water to grow. 此外，虽然，水稻支撑着世界上一半多人口，它需要很多水来种植，故选C。

    Do you have any hobbies? If students don't have any interests except school work, they may be bored people. And that can influence their studies.

    "Love is still alive!" Wang Zhiru from Jiangxi Academy of Forestry, said excitedly when receiving a picture of a white crane on January 3rd 2019. The white crane they named Love was saved and set free in early 2018.

    Love was first found on April 24th 2018, when Li Zengming, a farmer, drove past a reservoir in the countryside of Nanchang, capital of Jiangxi Province. Seeing it trying to fly but falling again and again, Li thought that it might be hurt. He drove to the shore and went into the water to rescue it. "I saw the white crane with dull eyes and a weak body. It was probably hurt. If I let it alone, it would be in danger," Li recalled. After more than half an hour, Li finally took the white crane back to the shore.

Then he called his uncle, an experienced animal saver for help. "Come over immediately and let's send it to the police station right away"said his uncle. When seeing the weak wild crane, Jiang Qingchun from the Five-Star Police Station, put down his work and checked it carefully.

    "At the end of April, migratory （迁移的） birds usually return to the north. It's abnormal for a white crane to still be living nearby. It may be left behind because of its poor health." Jiang said. He contacted Wang at the Jiangxi Academy of Forestry for help. Wang's team found Love did not seem to be hurt or have illness, but it suffered from hunger and tiredness. After five days' treatment, its weight rose from 3.75kg to 4kg.

    Being kept for long will be bad for birds' ability to survive in the wild. Wang's team decided on May 2nd to set it free at a place in northern China so that it could join the migrating group heading for Siberia in Russia. On May 8th, Love was set free at the Momoge National Nature Reserve.

A. It was hurt.         B. It was weak and lost.         C. It was dead.         D. It was hungry and tired.

（4）Why was Love set free in northern China?

A. Because Love was able to fly again.

B. Because Love lost his ability to fly.

C. Because Wang's team couldn't keep it any more.

D. Because Love could join the migrating group there.

    Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history. Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sports, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the Earth forever. Hundreds of animals are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger. Why should people care? Because we need animals, and because once they are gone, there will never be any more. Animals are more than just beautiful or interesting. They are more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks, the farmers' stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice, with no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied quickly.

    Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem.

    A new camera made by a company named Netatmo has facial recognition software （人脸识别系统） that can tell parents at work that their children have returned from school, or that a package （包裹） has been taken to their home. It can also tell them if a stranger has entered their home.

    Janina Mattausch is a product marketing manager for Netatmo.

    "The common security （安全） cameras at present are not that smart. So, they can tell you if something is moving but they don't necessarily know if it's a human being or, ah, if it's your kid- they don't know the difference, so they will warn （警告） you all the time."

    When family members enter a home, the new camera "recognizes" （识别） them and sends information to the owner's smartphone. The owner can choose to see the video then or later. But if an unknown person enters a home, the camera will send the owner a warning that will cause an alarm to sound on the owner's smartphone.

    That is what happened recently to a smart home camera owner named Damien. He lives in Paris.

    "On a Friday I was at work, attending a big monthly meeting when my phone warned. At first I told myself 'Oh, it must be a mistake, maybe I have to set the system again.' —but the notice on my phone was telling me that there was a movement in my flat and also a face that the software did not recognize."

    He watched the video and was very surprised by what he saw.

    "I saw a person I did not know with his shoes on. I was watching it live on video. So I felt totally unbelievable, frozen. I asked a workmate to take me back home as fast as possible and I called the police on the way."

14．阅读下面的材料，然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。

    Do you know "Weibo Addicts" （微博控）? Do you write a Weibo? If you don't, you are "out"!

    Weibo means microblog. People may spend much time writing a blog, but it takes a little time to write a microblog. Why? Because every message on a microblog is less than 140 words.

    Microblog started in the USA. It came to China in 2009 and it grows very fast. In 2011, the number of Chinese micro-bloggers grew to 300 million. People write microblogs for many reasons. For many microblog users, it is a great way of learning the freshest news, talking with friends and sharing different kinds of information, including news, everyday life, pictures, music, videos and so on.

    It is easy and fast to send a message on a microblog. However, this can also bring problems and even panic （恐慌）. For example, when the big earthquake and tsunami （海啸） hit Japan in March, 2011, messages like "Salt can help people fight radiation （辐射）" were hot on microblogs. Then a crazy buying of salt followed. Later people knew it was just a rumor （谣言）.

    In a word, microblog plays a new part in the life of Chinese people.

（1）What does Weibo Addicts in the first paragraph mean?

A. People who are crazy about Weibo.

B. People who seldom use Weibo.

B. Why Weibo is so popular.

【答案】 （1）A

（3）C

（4）B

【解析】【分析】 本文介绍微博的广泛使用。介绍了微博的由来和发展史，它的利与弊，微博是观看新闻的好途径，但同样也是传播问题和引起恐慌的迅速途径。

（1）推理题。根据 Do you know "Weibo Addicts" （微博控）? Do you write a Weibo? If you don't, you are "out"! 可知微博控就是对微博着迷的人，故选A。

（2）推理题。根据第二，三段的描述，可知微博传播谣言不是优势，故选C。

（3）推理题。本文介绍了微博的利与弊，微博是观看新闻的好途径，但同样也是传播问题和引起恐慌的迅速途径。可知，微博作为一种流行事物，有它的优点和缺点是对的，故选C。
