暑假作业08 阅读理解-【暑假分层作业】2024年八年级英语暑假培优练（牛津译林版）

完成时间： 月 日 天气： 作业08 阅读理解 一、为什么要扩充词汇量 词汇是语言的基本单位，没有词汇，就没有理解，更谈不上意义的表达。当然，这里的词汇不仅仅是指一个单词，它包括单词和由单词组成的固定短语、习惯用语、谚语、俗语、流行用语等，但有时一些词汇的意思在不同的语境中意思迥异。因此，生词的含义只有在阅读中，即上下文语境中才能完全展现出来，并易于被识记、理解和掌握。换句话说，是上下文给某个词以特定含义，而这个特定含义有时是词典无法提供的。多读是扩大词汇量的好方法，不仅要读不同体裁的文章，而且要多读不同题材的文章，才能有效扩大词汇量，让备考更高效。 怎样扩充词汇量 (一)利用词缀法记单词 (二)利用词根记单词 (三)利用逆序归类记单词 (四)利用一词多用记单词 (五)利用熟词僻义记单词 (六)利用易错比较记单词 (七)“4角度”区分完形填空易错词汇 1．比较形近词和义近词，如：live; living; alive; lively。 2．比对高频易混短语的意义，如carry out; carry on等。 (八)利用语境记忆词汇 (九)通过阅读记忆词汇 (十)积极应用加强记忆 做到“词不离句，句不离文”。这样，我们在不知不觉中就能巩固自己的词汇。 做到“词不离句，句不离文”。这样，我们在不知不觉中就能巩固自己的词汇 一 江苏昆山发生爆炸事故 题材 体裁 难度 词汇 建议用时 实际用时 正确率 新闻热点 记叙文 ★★★★ 177 6分钟 An explosion from a factory in Kunshan killed at least 69 people and more than 120 people got hurt.

That is today’s sensitive and hot topic all over the world. According to China’s census, 118 baby boys were born for every 100 girls in 2010. Because of this ratio, many men in China will fail to marry a wife. This serious social problem is due to Chinese traditional opinion towards boys and girls. Chinese favor boys much more than girls. They think that man can do more hard labor outside and they are able to earn more money, while women are supposed to stay at home, doing housework. The other reason is that boys carry on the family name when they get married, while girls do not carry on the bloodline which is of great importance to Chinese family. So, in the countryside, many baby girls are killed before they are given birth. The same issue is also getting popular in America. If they were only allowed to have one child, more Americans would prefer it be a boy rather than a girl, a new survey finds. The Gallup polling agency tell us in the survey, forty percent said they would pick a boy, 28 percent said they would want a girl, and the rest didn't care the baby’s gender or they were not sure. There’s no way to know how many sex-selective abortion are there in the world every year. All we know is that we are losing the gender balance and some measures should be taken. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 ( ) 1. According to China's census _______________________. A. in 2010, the number of baby boys is the same with that of baby girls B. in 2010, there are more baby boys than baby girls C. in 2010, there are less baby boys than baby girls D. in 2010, there are more baby girls than baby boys ( ) 2. Why do Chinese like boys much more than girls? A. Because men can do more labor outside. B. Because men can earn more money. C. Because men can carry the family name. D. All of the above. ( ) 3. According to Paragraph 4, what does Gallup polling agency imply? A. Americans don’t care baby’s sex. B. People in China like baby boys better. C. People in American like baby boys better. D. People in the world like baby boys better. ( ) 4. In the survey, how many people don’t care the baby’s gender or are not sure? A. 28%. B. 40%. C. More than 50%. D. 32%. ( ) 5. What’s the author’s attitude about sex-selective abortion? A. Don’t agree. B. Support. C. Remain neutral. D.

Most said students should spend less time remembering facts and have more space for creative activities. As the Internet grows more powerful, students can get knowledge easily. Why should they be required to carry so much of it around in their heads? Civilizations (文明) develop through forgetting life skills that were once necessary. In the Agricultural Age, a farmer could afford to forget hunting skills. When societies industrialized, the knowledge of farming could be safe to forget. Nowadays, smart machines help us to get most human knowledge. It seems that we no longer need to remember most things. Does it matter? Researchers have realized several problems that may happen. For one, human beings have biases (偏见), and smart machines are likely to increase our biases. Many people believe smart machines are necessarily correct and objective (客观的), but machines are trained through a repeated testing and scoring process. In the process, human beings still decide on the correct answers. Another problem relates to the ease (容易) of getting information. When there were no computers, efforts were required to get knowledge from other people, or go to the library. We know what knowledge lies in other brains or books, and what lies in our heads. But today, the Internet gives us the information we need quickly. This can lead to the mistaken belief—the knowledge we found was part of what we knew all along. In a new civilization rich in machine intelligence (智慧), we can easily get to smart memory networks where information is stored. But dependency on a network suggests possibilities of being harmed easily. The collapse of any of the networks of relations our health depends upon, such as food and energy, would produce terrible results. Without food we get hungry; without energy we feel cold. And it is through widespread loss of memory that civilizations are at risk of falling into a dark age. We forget old ways to free up time and space for new skills. As long as the older forms of knowledge are stored somewhere in our networks, and can be found when we need them, perhaps they’re not really forgotten. Still, as time goes on, we slowly but unquestionably become strangers to future people. 1．Smart machines are likely to increase our biases because ________. A．they go off course in testing and scoring B．we control the training process on them C．we offer them too much information D．they overuse the provided answers 2．The ease of getting information from the Internet ________. A．frees us from making efforts to learn new skills B．prevents civilizations from being lost at a high speed C．misleads us into thinking we already knew the knowledge D．separates the facts we have from those in the smart machines 3．According to this passage, the following are true except ________. A．Most young scientists replied to Science that students should have more creative activities. B．Nowadays, with smart machines, people no longer need to remember most things. C．The use of smart machines causes some problems to people. D．It is through widespread loss of memory that civilizations are at risk of falling into a dark age. 4．The writer’s main purpose in writing this passage is to ________. A．question about the standards of information storage B．discuss our problems of communication with machines C．stress the importance of improving our remembering ability D．remind us of the risk of depending on machines to remember 二 （2023·江苏·无锡外国语学校一模）A team of US psychologist (心理学家) have found that talking to another person for ten minutes a day helps with memory. “Socializing is just as useful as more traditional kinds of mental(脑力的) exercises in boosting memory and intellectual performance,” Oscar Ybarra, a psychologist at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research, said in a statement. In one investigation (调查), they analyzed data on 3610 people, aged 24 to 96. They find that the higher their level of social interaction (交流), the better their cognitive(认知的) functioning. Social interaction includes getting together or having phone chats with relatives, friends and neighbors. In another experiment, the researchers conducted laboratory tests on 76 college students, aged 18 to 21, to evaluate (评估) how social interactions and mental exercises influenced the results of memory and intellectual performance tests. The students were divided into three groups: the social interaction group had a discussion of a social issue for 10 minutes before taking the tests; the mental activities group completed three tasks (including a reading comprehension exercise and a crossword puzzle) before the tests; and a control group watched a 10-minute film of the Seinfeld television show. “We found that short-term social interaction lasting for just 10 minutes improved the students’ intellectual performance as much as working on so-called ‘mental’ activities for the same amount of time,” Ybarra said. The study was expected to be published in the February issue of the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin. 1．What does the underlined word “boosting” in the second paragraph probably mean? A．Improving. B．Reducing. C．Preventing. D．Training. 2．The researchers conducted laboratory tests on 76 college students to ________. A．judge the influence of social interaction on memory and intelligence B．find out what is real social interaction C．learn how much time is needed for social interaction D．show the function of people’s cognition 3．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Mental exercises make your memory better. B．Different people have different ways of communication C．Communicating with others keeps you healthy. D．Social interaction makes you smart. 三 （2022·江苏镇江·模拟预测）One night we were walking down one long, dirty street. Suddenly, Dupin spoke, “You’re right,” he said. “He is a very small man.” At first I saw nothing strange in this. Then it hit me. Dupin had agreed directly with my thoughts. I had not spoken a word! Dupin had read my mind. I stopped walking. “Dupin,” I said, “how could you know that I was thinking of?” Here, I stopped speaking. ________ And he did. He said, “How did I know you were thinking of Chantilly and thinking he is too small? It was the fruit-seller.” “Fruit-seller!?” “I mean the man who bumped into you fifteen minutes ago.” “Oh, yes…I remember, now. That fruit-seller. But what does that have to do with you knowing I was thinking of Chantilly?” “I will explain. Let us follow your thoughts from the fruit-seller to the stage actor, Chantilly. A fruit-seller bumped into you. You stepped on some cobblestones and hurt your feet. You continued walking, but kept looking at the cobblestones. Then we came to a small street with new street stones. Here your face became brighter and your lips formed the word ‘stereotomy’ which we read about in the newspaper only yesterday. The word ‘stereotomy’ reminded you of the old Greek writer and thinker Epicurus and his ideas about atoms. We were talking about how much those old ideas are like today’s scientific study of the planets and stars. Then you looked up and saw that the group of stars called Orion. Only yesterday, in the newspaper, there was a report about the actor Chantilly. The critic used a Latin saying about Orion to describe Chantilly. So you would connect Orion and Chantilly. Then, I saw you straighten up because you were thinking of Chantilly’s size. And so I spoke, saying that he is indeed a very little man.” I was surprised. Dupin was right. Those were in fact my unspoken thoughts, as my mind moved from one thought to the next. But if I was surprised by this, I would soon be more than surprised. 1．Which of the following can be put in Paragraph 5? A．We were quiet, both lost in our own thoughts. B．I was surprised at how much and how widely he had read. C．At such times it seemed to me that I saw not just one Dupin. D．If he really had heard my thoughts, he would have to prove it. 2．What is the right order of the following events? ①“I” read about the word “stereotomy” in the newspaper. ② Dupin directly agreed with my thoughts about Chantilly. ③ A fruit-seller bumped into “I” in the street with cobblestones. A．①-②-③ B．③-①-② C．①-③-② D．③-②-① 3．What can you infer(推断)from the article? A．“I” was not as high as the stage actor Chantilly. B．The word “Orion” was a Greek thinker’s name. C．Dupin is careful at seeing and understanding people. D．Dupin seldom communicated with “me” about his thoughts.

That is today’s sensitive and hot topic all over the world. According to China’s census, 118 baby boys were born for every 100 girls in 2010. Because of this ratio, many men in China will fail to marry a wife. This serious social problem is due to Chinese traditional opinion towards boys and girls. Chinese favor boys much more than girls. They think that man can do more hard labor outside and they are able to earn more money, while women are supposed to stay at home, doing housework. The other reason is that boys carry on the family name when they get married, while girls do not carry on the bloodline which is of great importance to Chinese family. So, in the countryside, many baby girls are killed before they are given birth. The same issue is also getting popular in America. If they were only allowed to have one child, more Americans would prefer it be a boy rather than a girl, a new survey finds. The Gallup polling agency tell us in the survey, forty percent said they would pick a boy, 28 percent said they would want a girl, and the rest didn't care the baby’s gender or they were not sure. There’s no way to know how many sex-selective abortion are there in the world every year. All we know is that we are losing the gender balance and some measures should be taken. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 ( ) 1. According to China's census _______________________. A. in 2010, the number of baby boys is the same with that of baby girls B. in 2010, there are more baby boys than baby girls C. in 2010, there are less baby boys than baby girls D. in 2010, there are more baby girls than baby boys ( ) 2. Why do Chinese like boys much more than girls? A. Because men can do more labor outside. B. Because men can earn more money. C. Because men can carry the family name. D. All of the above. ( ) 3. According to Paragraph 4, what does Gallup polling agency imply? A. Americans don’t care baby’s sex. B. People in China like baby boys better. C. People in American like baby boys better. D. People in the world like baby boys better. ( ) 4. In the survey, how many people don’t care the baby’s gender or are not sure? A. 28%. B. 40%. C. More than 50%. D. 32%. ( ) 5. What’s the author’s attitude about sex-selective abortion? A. Don’t agree. B. Support. C. Remain neutral. D. We don’t know. 【语篇导读】 重男轻女现象不仅在中国存在，据报道，美国人也更喜欢生男孩。 【答案解析】 1.

A 推理判断题。从最后一段All we know is that we are losing the gender balance and some measures should be taken可知，作者希望采取一些措施来解决男女比例失调问题，故他对选择性堕胎这一做法并不赞成，故选A。 【生词】 census / 'sensəs / n. 人口普查 例句：This country has just carried out a census. 这个国家刚刚进行过人口普查。 ratio / 'reɪʃəʊ / n. 比例 例句：The ratio of students to teachers is 35:1. 学生和老师的比率是三十五比一。 bloodline / 'blʌdlaɪn / n. 血统 例句：Being king is a bloodline, not a job in the CEO sense of the word. 当国王其实只事关血统，这可和做CEO截然不同。 gender / 'dʒendə / n. 性别 例句：What's the gender of the new born baby? 新生儿是男孩还是女孩? abortion / ə'bɔːʃn / n. 堕胎 例句：They are discussing the morality of abortion. 他们正在讨论堕胎的道德性。 【长难句分析】 1. This serious social problem is due to Chinese traditional opinion towards boys and girls. 这个严重的社会问题是由中国人对男孩女孩的传统看法导致的。 句中be due to 意为“由于......” 2. The other reason is that boys carry on the family name when they get married, while girls do not carry on the bloodline which is of great importance to Chinese family. 另外一个原因是，男人结婚后可以传承家族姓氏和血统，而女人却不能。家族血统对于中国家庭来说是至关重要的。 句中while 意为“然而”，表转折；be of great importance = important。 3. All we know is that we are losing the gender balance and some measures should be taken. 我们所知道的是人口性别比例失衡，我们应该采取一些行动。 此句是一个由that 引导的表语从句。 一 （2023·江苏·无锡外国语学校一模）In 2018, Science magazine asked some young scientists what schools should teach students. Most said students should spend less time remembering facts and have more space for creative activities. As the Internet grows more powerful, students can get knowledge easily. Why should they be required to carry so much of it around in their heads? Civilizations (文明) develop through forgetting life skills that were once necessary. In the Agricultural Age, a farmer could afford to forget hunting skills. When societies industrialized, the knowledge of farming could be safe to forget. Nowadays, smart machines help us to get most human knowledge. It seems that we no longer need to remember most things. Does it matter? Researchers have realized several problems that may happen. For one, human beings have biases (偏见), and smart machines are likely to increase our biases. Many people believe smart machines are necessarily correct and objective (客观的), but machines are trained through a repeated testing and scoring process. In the process, human beings still decide on the correct answers. Another problem relates to the ease (容易) of getting information. When there were no computers, efforts were required to get knowledge from other people, or go to the library. We know what knowledge lies in other brains or books, and what lies in our heads. But today, the Internet gives us the information we need quickly. This can lead to the mistaken belief—the knowledge we found was part of what we knew all along. In a new civilization rich in machine intelligence (智慧), we can easily get to smart memory networks where information is stored. But dependency on a network suggests possibilities of being harmed easily. The collapse of any of the networks of relations our health depends upon, such as food and energy, would produce terrible results. Without food we get hungry; without energy we feel cold. And it is through widespread loss of memory that civilizations are at risk of falling into a dark age. We forget old ways to free up time and space for new skills. As long as the older forms of knowledge are stored somewhere in our networks, and can be found when we need them, perhaps they’re not really forgotten. Still, as time goes on, we slowly but unquestionably become strangers to future people. 1．Smart machines are likely to increase our biases because ________. A．they go off course in testing and scoring B．we control the training process on them C．we offer them too much information D．they overuse the provided answers 2．The ease of getting information from the Internet ________. A．frees us from making efforts to learn new skills B．prevents civilizations from being lost at a high speed C．misleads us into thinking we already knew the knowledge D．separates the facts we have from those in the smart machines 3．According to this passage, the following are true except ________. A．Most young scientists replied to Science that students should have more creative activities. B．Nowadays, with smart machines, people no longer need to remember most things. C．The use of smart machines causes some problems to people. D．It is through widespread loss of memory that civilizations are at risk of falling into a dark age. 4．The writer’s main purpose in writing this passage is to ________. A．question about the standards of information storage B．discuss our problems of communication with machines C．stress the importance of improving our remembering ability D．remind us of the risk of depending on machines to remember 1．B    2．C    3．B    4．D 【导语】本文主要论述了用机器记信息可能会产生的不良影响。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段的后两句“…but machines are trained through a repeated testing and scoring process. In the process, human beings still decide on the correct answers.”可知由于人类是有偏见的，而人控制机器培训的过程，所以智能机器可能会增加我们的偏见。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段后两句“But today, the Internet gives us the information we need quickly. This can lead to the mistaken belief — the knowledge we found was part of what we knew all along.”可知从网上轻松获取信息让我们误以为自己已经知道了这些知识。故选C。 3．判断推理题。根据第二段最后两句“It seems that we no longer need to remember most things. Does it matter?”和接下来的论述，尤其是第三段的第一句“Researchers have realized several problems that may happen.”以及第五段最后一句“And it is through widespread loss of memory that civilizations are at risk of falling into a dark age.”可知即使有了智能机器，人类也还需要自己去记很多东西，不然会带来很多问题，所以选项B表述错误。故选B。 4．判断推理题。通读全文，尤其是第五段的前两句“In a new civilization rich in machine intelligence (智慧), we can easily get to smart memory networks where information is stored. But dependency on a network suggests possibilities of being harmed easily.”可知文章主要论述了人类过于依赖智能机器记信息所产生的问题，可推断出作者写这篇文章旨在提醒人们依赖机器记信息所带来的风险。故选D。 二 （2023·江苏·无锡外国语学校一模）A team of US psychologist (心理学家) have found that talking to another person for ten minutes a day helps with memory. “Socializing is just as useful as more traditional kinds of mental(脑力的) exercises in boosting memory and intellectual performance,” Oscar Ybarra, a psychologist at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research, said in a statement. In one investigation (调查), they analyzed data on 3610 people, aged 24 to 96. They find that the higher their level of social interaction (交流), the better their cognitive(认知的) functioning. Social interaction includes getting together or having phone chats with relatives, friends and neighbors. In another experiment, the researchers conducted laboratory tests on 76 college students, aged 18 to 21, to evaluate (评估) how social interactions and mental exercises influenced the results of memory and intellectual performance tests. The students were divided into three groups: the social interaction group had a discussion of a social issue for 10 minutes before taking the tests; the mental activities group completed three tasks (including a reading comprehension exercise and a crossword puzzle) before the tests; and a control group watched a 10-minute film of the Seinfeld television show. “We found that short-term social interaction lasting for just 10 minutes improved the students’ intellectual performance as much as working on so-called ‘mental’ activities for the same amount of time,” Ybarra said. The study was expected to be published in the February issue of the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin. 1．What does the underlined word “boosting” in the second paragraph probably mean? A．Improving. B．Reducing. C．Preventing. D．Training. 2．The researchers conducted laboratory tests on 76 college students to ________. A．judge the influence of social interaction on memory and intelligence B．find out what is real social interaction C．learn how much time is needed for social interaction D．show the function of people’s cognition 3．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Mental exercises make your memory better. B．Different people have different ways of communication C．Communicating with others keeps you healthy. D．Social interaction makes you smart. 1．A    2．A    3．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了美国心理学家的近日发现：每天与人交谈十分钟能够提高记忆力。社会交往与传统的思维训练方式对于提高记忆力和智力表现具有同样效果。 1．词义猜测题。根据第一段“Socializing is just as useful as more traditional kinds of mental (脑力的) exercises in boosting memory and intellectual performance”和“talking to another person for ten minutes a day helps with memory”可知，每天和别人交谈十分钟有助于提高记忆力，所以社交活动和传统的脑力锻炼一样，可以在提高记忆力和智力。推测boosting与“Improving”同义，意思是“提高”。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第五段第二行“to evaluate (评估) how social interactions and mental exercises influenced the results of memory and intellectual performance tests.”可知，此实验是为了评估社交与智力训练是如何影响测试的结果的。故选A。 3．主旨大意题。根据第一段和第二段第一句“Socializing is just as useful as more traditional kinds of mental(脑力的) exercises in boosting memory and intellectual performance,”社交和传统的脑力锻炼一样有用，可以增强记忆力和智力表现，可知，本文主要是说社交会使你聪明。故选D。 三 （2022·江苏镇江·模拟预测）One night we were walking down one long, dirty street. Suddenly, Dupin spoke, “You’re right,” he said. “He is a very small man.” At first I saw nothing strange in this. Then it hit me. Dupin had agreed directly with my thoughts. I had not spoken a word! Dupin had read my mind. I stopped walking. “Dupin,” I said, “how could you know that I was thinking of?” Here, I stopped speaking. ________ And he did. He said, “How did I know you were thinking of Chantilly and thinking he is too small? It was the fruit-seller.” “Fruit-seller!?” “I mean the man who bumped into you fifteen minutes ago.” “Oh, yes…I remember, now. That fruit-seller. But what does that have to do with you knowing I was thinking of Chantilly?” “I will explain. Let us follow your thoughts from the fruit-seller to the stage actor, Chantilly. A fruit-seller bumped into you. You stepped on some cobblestones and hurt your feet. You continued walking, but kept looking at the cobblestones. Then we came to a small street with new street stones. Here your face became brighter and your lips formed the word ‘stereotomy’ which we read about in the newspaper only yesterday. The word ‘stereotomy’ reminded you of the old Greek writer and thinker Epicurus and his ideas about atoms. We were talking about how much those old ideas are like today’s scientific study of the planets and stars. Then you looked up and saw that the group of stars called Orion. Only yesterday, in the newspaper, there was a report about the actor Chantilly. The critic used a Latin saying about Orion to describe Chantilly. So you would connect Orion and Chantilly. Then, I saw you straighten up because you were thinking of Chantilly’s size. And so I spoke, saying that he is indeed a very little man.” I was surprised. Dupin was right. Those were in fact my unspoken thoughts, as my mind moved from one thought to the next. But if I was surprised by this, I would soon be more than surprised. 1．Which of the following can be put in Paragraph 5? A．We were quiet, both lost in our own thoughts. B．I was surprised at how much and how widely he had read. C．At such times it seemed to me that I saw not just one Dupin. D．If he really had heard my thoughts, he would have to prove it. 2．What is the right order of the following events? ①“I” read about the word “stereotomy” in the newspaper. ② Dupin directly agreed with my thoughts about Chantilly. ③ A fruit-seller bumped into “I” in the street with cobblestones. A．①-②-③ B．③-①-② C．①-③-② D．③-②-① 3．What can you infer(推断)from the article? A．“I” was not as high as the stage actor Chantilly. B．The word “Orion” was a Greek thinker’s name. C．Dupin is careful at seeing and understanding people. D．Dupin seldom communicated with “me” about his thoughts. 1．D    2．C    3．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述Dupin读懂我内心想法的故事。 1．推理判断题。根据“And he did.”以及“It was the fruit-seller.”可知，此处应在表示与“证明Dupin知道我想法”相关的内容。选项D“如果他知道我的想法，他应该会证明”，符合语境。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“the word ‘stereotomy’ which we read about in the newspaper only yesterday.”，“ A fruit-seller bumped into you. You stepped on some cobblestones and hurt your feet.”以及“Then it hit me. Dupin had agreed directly with my thoughts.”可知，正确的顺序是①-③-②。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“Dupin had agreed directly with my thoughts. I had not spoken a word!”以及“I will explain...”可知，Dupin非常细心，善于观察他人的一举一动，理解他人。故选C。 ( 2 )原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
