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

You must be told many times about the four historical stories. However, have you learned anything different about them in history classes?

George Washington lost his first adult tooth at the age of 22. When he became the first American president, he only had one real tooth left. All his other teeth were made of wood.

Everyone knows that in 1492, Christopher Columbus sailed from Spain to prove （证明） that the Earth was round. However, the truth is that Columbus didn't think the world was round at first

Many of us believe that Isaac Newton was hit on the head by an apple and he had the idea about gravity. In fact, he was never hit on the head by an apple. The story didn't appear until the year Newton died. Newton's story is interesting, but it isn't true.

Besides being one of the greatest people in history, Napoleon Bonaparte is remembered as a tiny man. And thanks to a famous painting by Louis David, people think he always had his hands hidden in his coat. But in fact his height

was about 1.7 metres. It is very normal even at present.

Of course, sometimes it's difficult to tell whether some historical stories are true or not. However, most of them can bring us much fun and teach us a lot.

A. Washington. B. Columbus C. Newton D. Napoleon

If you plan to take your pet on a trip, prepare ahead of time（提前）. At least two weeks before you leave, take your pet to a vet. See if he or she is fit for travel and ask if he or she should have any medicine before leaving. The vet may suggest（建议） certain pills for sickness or for calming the pet.

Some states or foreign countries have health laws that say animals must have certain injections（注射）before they can be allowed（允许） to enter. Your

If you are going by plane or train, ask if pets are allowed. If they are, ask where they will be kept and who will care for them. The big bus lines in this country do not allow pets.

Choose your pet's box carefully. Plastic boxes are better than cardboard or wooden ones because they can't be chewed（嚼碎）.

If going by plane or train during warm weather, try to go in the cooler early morning or evening hours. Also try to avoid （避免）very cold winter weather because pets often suffer from cold. Even in your own car, be careful. Do not leave the animal inside with the windows closed because the car may become too hot or too cold.

Zheng He was an amazing man. He was born in 1371. Ten years later, he was caught by the army of a rich young man called Zhu Di and made to work for him. Over time the rich man saw that Zheng He was very clever and strong and they

became close friends. In 1403 Zhu Di became the king of China and he asked Zheng He to join his government.

The king wanted to learn more about the world and show other countries his power. He ordered many new ships to be built and made Zheng He their leader.

On these trips he took many Chinese goods like silk and medicine with him to give to foreign kings or to sell for local goods. He returned from each trip with boats which were filled with expensive things such as gold and treasures, foreign guests and strange animals like a giraffe.

It is a pity that we may never learn everything about Zheng He's travels. The Columbus of the East, Zheng He, died in 1433. After that.

User: Saying hello to you.

George: Are you a monkey?

User: Do you think monkeys can type?

George: Sure.

User: Are you a monkey?

George: Do you think monkeys can type?

This is a conversation between a human \"user\" and a computer. The computer was made to be as human as possible. It was taught to talk to humans. It has also learnt from what people have said to it. This has helped it become more human.

What makes George talk is called Jabberwacky. It won the Loebner Prize not long ago. The prize is a contest to find the most realistic artificial intelligence （现实的人工智能）. In 2006, scientists talked to the computer. They typed questions to it, and it answered.

Jabberwacky first appeared in 1982. It has been gelling better every year since then. The list of things that the computer says to a human is getting bigger and bigger. It means the computer has more things to say when you talk to it.

It is hoped that a computer like this will do our jobs in call centres. When Jabberwacky is more realistic, this will be possible.

17．阅读理解

Emergencies（紧急情况）don't happen very often. But when they do, you want to get help first. No one wants to spend time looking up the phone numbers.

In 1968, the United States government agreed on one number that people could call for emergencies. They thought that 911 was easy to remember and people could dial it quickly. The first 911 call was made on February 16, 1968, in Alabama. Today, 911 is used for emergencies in most parts of the United States and many parts of Canada.

Other countries may use other numbers. In Great Britain, it's 999. If you're not sure which emergency number is used in your area, check your phone book.

When to call

Never call 911 as a joke or just to see what might happen. The only time you should call 911 is when a person is badly hurt or in danger at the moment! So call

when there is a fire, a car accident, or sudden sickness, etc.

When in an emergency call

When you dial the 911 operator（接线员）, it' s always OK to give out your information. Speak slowly and clearly when you explain what's happening. What happened? Where are you? Who needs help?

Don' t hang up（挂断）!

If you have to call 911, do not hang up until the operator tells you it's

OK to do so. In this way, you can be sure that the operator has all the information to offer help fast.

A dog named Faith dialed 911 when her owner who was in a wheelchair fell and needed help. She had been taught to use a speed-dial（快速拨号） function.

（1）The emergency number 911 was first used in _______ in the USA.

A. 1958 B. 1968 C. 1978 D. 1999

A. Because other countries also used the number.

B. Because it was suggested by the phone company.

C. Because it was simple and easy to remember and dial.

D. Because it was also used in many parts of Canada.

（3）People can't call 911 when _______.

A. a bus hits a boy badly

B. a girl feels bored

C. an old lady falls off the stairs, unable to stand up

D. some people can't get out of a burning building

（4）Which is the RIGHT thing to do?

A. Wait for the operators words to end the call.

C. Test if your phone can get through to 911.

D. Tell the operator everything as quickly as possible.

19．根据短文内容填空。

A seabird named Lydia recently made a 26-day nonstop（不间断的）journey of about 2,500 mi­les, just to search for food for her baby. She is fitted with a satellite tracking device （卫星跟踪仪）. Her trip started on Oct. 18 from Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean. The trip is known as the lon­gest nonstop journey by one of these endangered seabirds.

Before that, this kind of birds was known only to fly a few hundred miles from where they live, staying away for just a few days at a time. They usually fly over the sea.

The scientists feel it strange that Lydia made such a long, nonstop journey and flew overland. So the above facts raise some serious questions about efforts to stop the decline（减少）of the birds. The number of the birds has fallen by 10 percent over the past 20 years.

Besides, the scientists are surprised that she was away from her baby for such a long time. They wonder why she needed to go that far. Maybe it shows that fish resources （资源）around Christmas Island are not large enough now. That might explain the slow decline of the bird 一 sea pollution（污染） is serious.

（1）Why did Lydia make such a long and nonstop journey?

（2）How far does this kind of birds usually fly at a time?

（3）What do you know about the number of this kind of seabirds?

（4）What do the scientists think Lydia’s long journey may show?

（5）What can we learn from Lydia's journey?（请自拟一句话作答）

【答案】（1）Because she wanted to look/search for food for her baby.

（2）A few hundred miles.

（3）It has fallen by 10 percent over the past 20 years.

（4）Fish resources around Christmas Island are not large enough now.

（5）We should try to protect our environment.

【解析】【分析】

⑴细节理解。根据第一段just to search for food for her baby可知为了给她的孩子找食物。故答案是：Because she wanted to look/search for food for her baby.

⑵细节理解。根据 this kind of birds was known only to fly a few hundred miles from where they live, staying away for just a few days at a time可知这种鸟每次会飞几百英里，在外面呆几天。故答案是：A few hundred miles.

⑶细节理解。根据第三段 The number of the birds has fallen by 10 percent over the past 20 years.可知这种鸟儿的数量在过去的20年下降了10%。所以答案是：It has fallen by 10 percent over the past 20 years.

⑷细节理解。根据最后一段Maybe it shows that fish resources （资源）around Christmas Island are not large enough now. 可知科学家猜测可能是圣诞岛上的鱼资源不充足了。故答案是：Fish resources around Christmas Island are not large enough now.

⑸主旨大意。本文通过介绍海鸟Lydia 长时间不间断的飞行引起话题，谈论鸟类不得不飞到很远的地方觅食是由于海洋污染变得严重，导致鱼类资源的不足，从而导致鸟类数量的下降。故本题的答案与保护环境，避免污染有关。
