八年级英语期末复习专题练习《阅读理解2》

Some years ago, on a hot summer day, a little boy decided to go swimming in the old swimming hole.

He jumped into the water, but he didn't realize that a crocodile(鳄鱼)

was swimming toward him. His mother was looking out of the window and

saw the two as they got closer and closer together. She ran toward the water

and shouted to her son as loudly as she could.

Hearing her voice, the little boy became scared and made a U-turn to

swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the crocodile

reached him.

From the dock（码头）, the mother held her little boy by the arms just as the crocodile caught his legs. That began a tug-of -war（拔河）between the two. The crocodile was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by. When he heard the mother's crying, he ran out from his truck, took aim and shot the crocodile.

Amazingly, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were full of cuts from the accident. And on his arms were deep scars（伤疤）from his mother's fingernails.

A newspaper reporter asked the boy if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his legs. And then, he said to the reporter: "But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mom wouldn't let go."

1. Hearing the mother's voice, the boy_______.

A. still went on swimming forwards

B. became too frightened to swim

C. swam back towards his mother

D. decided to beat the crocodile

2. The boy survived because of the following EXCEPT_______.

One afternoon many years ago, I sat down on a bench in a park and watched a little boy, around 2 years old, running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy would fall to the grass, get up, and without looking back at his mother, ran as fast as he could as if nothing had happened.

When kids fall down, they don't think of the fall as a failure. Instead, they

consider it as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed.

While I was touched by the boy's strong mind, I was also touched by the

way he ran. With each attempt, he looked so confident and natural. He only

wanted to run freely and to do it as well as he could. He was just being a

child-just being himself-being completely in the moment. He never gave up.

Each time he fell, he got himself back up again, as if he knew that falling down

was simply a part of life.

He was not looking for others' smiles, or worrying about whether someone was watching or not. He only wanted to run and to feel the experience of running fully and freely. I learned a lot from that experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in many parts in my life.

1. From Paragraph l, we know that the boy's mother_______.

A. was strict with him

B. had a special way to educate her son

C. didn't love her son as much as others

D. was too weak to help her son get up

2. Which is true according to the passage?

A. The kid was in a blue jacket.

B. The kid was about 2 years old.

C. The kid was playing with his grandparents when he fell down.

D. When the kid fell down he cried for a while.

3. The writer was touched by the boy because the boy _______.

A. might stop running when he fell down

B. never fell down if he made up his mind to run

C. didn't care about the fall and went on running

D. was good at running and never fell down

4. What can we learn from the story?

A. Falling down will make a person feel frightened from then on.

B. Falling down is the mother of success.

C. When others are watching, people fall down easily.

D. One will succeed if he/she is confident and never gives up.

When I was in the ninth grade, my parents started fighting about me. If my grades weren't perfect, they would scream at each other at night. I started to worry and couldn't fall asleep. My grades really started to drop too. It was hard to pay attention during class because I felt so tired all

the time.

talked about how my life might improve if I was able to get more sleep.

At the end of the consultation（会诊）, I was sent home with a piece of paper called a sleep diary.

During the treatment, the psychologist was a cheerleader (啦啦队队长) for my life and kept pointing out all the things I was doing right. With her help, I started to notice the positive things that were happening all around me.

After about two months of seeing my psychologist, I could sleep at least eight hours a night, sometimes even nine! I felt happier. My grades got better. It was so much better to admit that something was wrong and to do something to over come it rather than just watch my whole life get worse and worse!

I was walking around in a store. I saw a cashier(收银员) hand a little boy his money back, saying, "I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll

(玩偶)." I walked toward him and asked him whom he wished to

Little boy named Johnny was visiting his grandparents on their farm, and they gave him a slingshot(弹弓) to play with out in the woods. He practiced for some time but he could never hit the target he had set for himself.

One of my best childhood memories is going to the river and sitting quietly on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet, watching the bamboo trees bend in the wind and then return to their original positions after the wind had died down.

When I think about the bamboo tree's ability to come back to its

original position, the word "resilience" comes to my mind. When we use

the word to talk about a person, it means the ability to easily recover

from shock, sadness or any other bad situation.

Have you ever felt like you are about to snap（垮掉）? Have

you ever felt like you are at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have

survived the experience to live to talk about it.

Life is a mixture of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, bend but don't break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you. Your hope will take you through the unpleasant ordeal (折磨). With hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation things may not be as bad as they seem to be. The unpleasant ordeal may be easier to deal with if the end result is worth having.

If things get tough and you are at your breaking point, show resilience, like the bamboo tree.

Bend, but don't break!

1. What happened to the bamboo trees after the wind?

A. They were broken in half.

B. They disappeared along with the wind.

C. They grew much taller than before.

D. They returned to their original positions.

2. When talking about a person, the word "resilience" means the ability to _______.

A. recover from a bad situation

B. follow what others say

C. break at a breaking point

D. snap in a bad situation

3. According to the writer, what should we do when we are in a bad situation?

A. Let everything get to us.

B. Be hopeful for a better tomorrow.

C. Do nothing but enjoy the ordeal.

D. Get as close as we can to our breaking point.

4. We may bend in the following situations EXCEPT when _______.

B. we meet with some difficulties

C. we get on well with our study or work

D. we have something difficult to deal with

I had been sitting, lost in my thoughts. I needed to make a big decision about my job. It seemed that the more I thought about it, the more complicated(复杂的)

the problem became in my mind.

My friend Mary invited me over for lunch and I told her what was the

matter. When I finished explaining, she said: "I have a special coin just for

this situation." Then she opened her bag and took out a coin.

"This belonged to my grandfather," she said. "And he always used it to

make important decisions when he did not know which way to go."

"You can't be serious," I looked at my friend, unbelieving.

She just gave me the coin. It felt heavy in my hand.

"Quickly. Decide which answer is the head (正面) and which one is the tail(反面). Now toss (投拱F) it," said Mary. I did.

The head. That would be "Yes".

"But that can't be so ! I mean if I did that, it would mean...What are you smiling at?" I asked.

She really was, and looked very happy. "You see: you got your answer."

"No, I didn't! It showed 'yes', but that can't be right," I said.

I stopped talking. I got it. "Now you see why my grandfather used to toss a coin," Mary said. "He did not follow the answer it showed the head or the tail, yes or no. Instead, he listened very carefully to his first emotional reaction(情感反应) to the answer the coin gave. And that was the real answer.

1. Why was the writer lost in her thoughts?

A. Because she didn't do well in her job.

B. Because she had to make a big decision in her job.

If you put a buzzard（秃鹰）in a cage without a roof （顶棚），the bird

will be a prisoner, Even though it can fly, it can't fly through the open

roof . The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground

with a run of 3 0r 4 meters. Without space to run, he will not even try to

fly, but will stay in his small jail（监牢）for the rest of his life.

ground. If it is placed on the ground, all it can do is shuffle（穿梭）about

passage One (Violence Can Do Nothing to Diminish Race Prejudice) In some countries where racial prejudice is acute, violence has so come to be taken for granted as a means of solving differences, that it is not even questioned．There are countries where the white man imposes his rule by brute force; there are countries where the black man protests by setting fire to cities and by looting and pillaging．Important people on both sides, who would in other respects appear to be reasonable men, get up and calmly argue in favor of violence – as if it were a legitimate solution, like any other．What is really frightening, what really fills you with despair, is the realization that when it comes to the crunch, we have made no actual progress at all．We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint, but our instincts remain basically unchanged．The whole of the recorded history of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing．We have still not learnt that violence never solves a problem but makes it more acute．The sheer horror, the bloodshed, the suffering mean nothing．No solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us． The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions lie are finding it harder and herder to get a hearing．They are despised, mistrusted and even persecuted by their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as law enforcement．If half the energy that goes into violent acts were put to good use, if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos, at improving living-standards and providing education and employment for all, we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution．Our strength is sapped by having to mop up the mess that violence leaves in its wake．In a well-directed effort, it would not be impossible to fulfill the ideals of a stable social programme．The benefits that can be derived from constructive solutions are everywhere apparent in the world around us．Genuine and lasting solutions are always possible, providing we work within the framework of the law． Before we can even begin to contemplate peaceful co-existence between the races, we must appreciate each other’s problems．And to do this, we must learn about them: it is a simple exercise in communication, in exchanging information．'Talk, talk, talk,’the advocates of violence say,‘all you ever do is talk, and we are none the wiser．’It’s rather like the story of the famous barrister who painstakingly explained his case to the judge．After listening to a lengthy argument the judge complained that after all this talk, he was none the wiser．‘Possible, my lord,’the barrister replied,‘none the wiser, but surely far better informed．’Knowledge

（英语）高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 The setting was a packed gymnasium just before the start of a game against another school. There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team—all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach's decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little community that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness. While the school had been out for the New Year's holiday, the five girls had gone to the party with several of their friends. There was alcohol there. And they all drank some. Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn't back down on her rules. And the players—two junior students and three senior students—agreed. That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach's decision. “We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. What we did was definitely not worth it. We hope this event will make everyone realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our community,” one of the senior students said, “And if you work with us to try to solve this problem, you will help us feel that we have not been thrown off our basketball team for nothing.” The five left the floor to deafening applause. The team may not win another game this year. But they've learnt something about personal responsibility, the effect of one's action on others, and honesty that will serve them well throughout life. （1）It can be inferred from the passage that the five girls who were kicked off the team were ________. A. very good players on the team B. addicted to alcohol and drugs C. three junior students and two senior students D. scolded by their parents for drinking alcohol （2）What did the girls do to support their coach's decision? A. They didn't fight for Danville High School any more. B. They all gave speeches to apologize in the local press. C. They admitted their mistake in public in the gymnasium. D. They would never drink any alcohol throughout their life. （3）Which word best describes the coach Rainville? A. Indifferent. B. Strict. C. Stubborn. D. Cruel. （4）Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Growing up with pain B. A bad mistake C. Team rules are everything D. Basketball girls in high school 【答案】（1）A

社会生活类（Passage63～70） Passage63 题材：社会生活类字数：686建议用时：6分钟 From a hillside,Kamal Saadat looked forlornly at hundreds of potential customers,knowing he could not take them for trips in his boat to enjoy a spring weekend on picturesque Oroumieh Lake,the third largest saltwater lake on earth, which now lay encased by solidifying salt.Saadat lamented that he could not understand why the lake was fading away. The long popular lake,home to migrating flamingos,pelicans and gulls,has shrunken by60percent and could disappear entirely in just a few years—drained by drought,misguided irrigation policies,development and the damming of rivers that feed it. Until two years ago,Saadat supplemented his income from almond-and grape-growing by taking tourists on boat tours.But as the lake receded and its salinity rose,he found he had to stop the boat every10minutes to unfoul the propeller—and finally,he had to give up this second job that he'd used to support a five-member family.The visitors were not enjoying such a boring trip,for they had to cross hundreds of meters of salty lakebed just to reach the boat from the wharf. Other boatmen,too,have parked their vessels by their houses,where they stand as sad reminders of the deep-water days.And the lake's ebbing affects an ever-widening circle.

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world. Westerners' understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage(针灸，拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U. S. swimmer Michael Phelps，back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016. As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs. Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients (原材料) jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs. Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou's winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria (疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time. （1）Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps? A. Because he was injured in his swimming. B. Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment. C. Because westerners know a little about TCM. D. Because westerners attach great importance to TCM. （2）Why don't some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine? A. Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases. B. Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture. C. Because Western medicine is more effective. D. Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly. （3）Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4? A. The methods of planting herbs. B. The effectiveness of prescription. C. Lacking in standardization. D. Its stable functions.
