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

Writing your own funny comic strip

a. Practise drawing and create your characters.

In order to ensure that you're at your very best, create sketches of basic items. People, animals, backgrounds, and props are excellent subjects to begin with.

Choose attractive names for them and dip deep into your characters. This will help you connect to them, and you'll be able to bring them to life in your comics.

b. Think of a short, amusing tale or a humorous skit featuring a joke for your comic. Once you establish a basic plot, write down the main story with additional details. c. Make a rough copy of your first comic.

Determine its structure, as well as the size of the boxes that will contain the characters and their story. Use stick figures or quick drawings to figure out the basic skeleton of your comic. Do not worry about doing your best, as this is a rough draft.

d. Create a unique name for your comic and a good copy of your comic.

If you have trouble thinking of one, surf the Internet for suggestions or read other people's titles for inspiration.

Once you are satisfied with the drawings, go over them with black ink for a professional look. To colour the comic, you can scan it into the computer and digitally colour it. Otherwise, you can use special colour pencils or markers.

e. Show the comic to your family and friends and keep your comic in a safe place.

Ask them to read it and give you a critique. This will help you to gauge how funny and successful your comic is, which will guide your future comic- making.

Continue practising and creating new comics. You may consider publishing your works in the future.

（1）What can you practise drawing by?

A. People and animals. B. Backgrounds and props. C. People and forest. D. Both A and B. （2）What's the meaning of the underlined word in Para. 2?

A. Funny. B. Surprised. C. Detailed. D. Lovely. （3）What's the correct order to write your own funny comic strip? ①Think of a short, amusing tale. ②Create a good copy of your comic. ③Create your characters.

2．阅读理解

Is there intelligent（有智力的）life on other planets? For years, scientists said \"no.\" or \"we don't know.\" But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers（天文学家）. They believe intelligent life exists（存在）somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon contact them.

Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. \"This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life, \"say Shostak and Barnett. The second reason is size the universe is huge. \"Tools like the Hubble Telescope（哈勃望远镜）have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies, \"says Shostak. \"And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to the earth. \"

In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes（高倍望远镜）allow scientists to discover smaller planets-the size of Mars or the earth-in other solar systems, these planets might have intelligent life.

Have beings from space already visited the earth? \"Probably not, \"says Shostak. \"It's a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other way, such as radio signals（信号）. In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don't have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. By 2025, we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other. \" （1）What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. The age and size of the earth. B. Something about the Milky Way.

C. The reasons why intelligent life might exist. D. The earth is the only planet with intelligent life.

（2）Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past? A. There were not any smaller planets. B. There were not any powerful telescopes. C. The astronomers were not interested in them. D. The Milky Way didn't exist at that time.

（3）Why haven't beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak? A. Because they're afraid of us. B. Because it's long way away. C. Because they don't want to see us.

D. Because they don't know how to use radio signals.

（4）What does the underlined phrase \"life forms\" in the last paragraph mean? A. Messages. B. Tools. C. Radio signals. D. Intelligent beings. 【答案】 （1）C （2）B （3）B （4）D

【解析】【分析】短文大意： 本文叙述了科学家认为其他星球也存在智能生命，因为宇宙形成的时间这么长，足够其他星球形成生命；其次宇宙这么大，周围会有跟地球相似的星球。不久来自太空的生命有可能将会和我们联系，我们可能到2025年，也会和他们取得联系，我们可能会互相帮助。

（1）段落大意题。根据段落主题句Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets? 可知这个段落讲的是有智慧的东西在其它星球存在的原因。故选C。 （2）推理判断题。根据 In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes（高倍望远镜）allow scientists to discover smaller planets-the size of Mars or the earth-in other solar systems, these planets might have intelligent life. 过去，在宇宙中很难找到智慧生活的标志，但是现在，高倍望远镜让科学家发现了更小的行星-火星的大小或地球-在其它太阳系，这些行星可能有智慧的生命。可知过去人们很难发现智慧生命的标志是因为没有高倍望远镜。故选B。

（3）推理判断题。根据 Have beings from space already visited the earth? \"Probably not, \"says Shostak. \"It's a long way away. 可知Shostak.认为来自太空的生命可能没有来过地球，因为路途遥远。故选B。

（4） 词义猜测题。根据 However, intelligent beings may contact us in other way, 可知智能生命可能会用其他方式联系我们，故推测此处的life forms指的是intelligent beings，故选D。 【点评】此题考查阅读理解。这道题涉及段落大意，推理判断和词意猜测。段落大意可根据段落的主题句决定。对于推理判断题，我们要根据文章的细节内容进行推理，确定正确答案。对于词意猜测题，我们要根据上下文的联系确定，找出正确答案。

On the first day of the New Year 2019, I made up my mind to go to Thailand to teach English as a volunteer. At the beginning, all I cared about was travelling and seeing the country. I didn't know how fantastic my life would be in the coming months!

My journey began with attending TESOL certification course in my home state of New York last February. After 3 weekends of study and another 40 hours' study online, I received my TESOL certificate.

I was asked to contact Philip, who is Program Director of the Teach in Thailand. After discussing with Philip, I chose my school and after many months of excitement, I finally flew to Thailand in early April and I couldn't wait to explore the country!

After a few weeks of single travel, I met up with Philip and the other new teachers in my program in Bangkok. It was great to meet other people who were on the same journey as me, see some cool sights and walk in Thailand's cities! After that, I attended the week-long training. At the end of the training, I was sent to my school—Anuban Buriram Primary School.

I truly love my job—I teach Grades 5 and 6 and I have the cleverest and most active kids in the world. It's a truly fantastic thing that you can see the difference you make in someone else's life, right in front of you!

Buriram is a small city with green rice fields. People here are more friendly than anyone I've ever met—I've never been anywhere where a smile is so easily received, where everyone you pass is so friendly to say \"Hello\" and \"Good morning\". I've been taken out to countless dinners,

and been lent a guitar, a camera, and I am given Thai treats and the most delicious fresh fruits many times a week. I only hope to repay them in the future. （1）Where do \"I\" come from?

A. Thailand. B. America. C. England. D. China. （2）What did the writer do right away after arriving in Thailand? A. He travelled around Thailand by himself. B. He had a discussion with Philip. C. He attended a seminar in Bangkok. D. He met with other volunteers.

5．阅读理解

After some time, another official climbed up to the platform and spoke to me. From his signs I understood that they were going to move me. The King of this country（which was called Lilliput）had ordered his people to carry me to the capital city, about a kilometre away. I made signs to ask whether（是否） I could be untied, but the official politely said \"No\". While I was

eating bread, a platform had been prepared to carry me. The people of Lilliput, known as the Lilliputians, are very clever with their hands. For me, five hundred men built a special wooden platform with twenty－two wheels. Nine hundred of the strongest men worked for about three hours to lift me on to the platform, and one thousand five hundred of the King's largest horses（each eleven and a half centimetres high）pulled me to the capital. I did not know about any of this, because they had put a sleeping powder in my wine, and I was in a deep sleep. （An Extract from A voyage to Lilliput ）

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
