2024-2025学年八年级英语上学期期末复习重难点突破（人教版） 专题15 期末复习之阅读理解15篇（期末真题+模拟试题） （1） Dear Bob, You asked me about the Awakening of Insects（惊蛰）. Now let me tell you something about it. As the third one of the 24 Chinese solar terms（二十四节气）in the lunar year, the Awakening of Insects means the fact that spring thunder awakens the animals sleeping in winter, and that the earth begins to come back to life. Just as the old Chinese saying “Once the Awakening of Insects comes, spring ploughing（耕犁）never rests” says, it is the major time for spring farming activities. During this time, most parts of China get warmer and warmer, with the temperatures above 10℃. The days get longer and there is a marked increase（增加）in sunshine. It is good for farming. People like going fishing during this time. Fishing can make people relaxed, especially for people living in the city. Driving to the countryside, fishing in a lake, bathing in the sunlight and enjoying the singing of birds make for a perfect weekend in spring. Eating pears around the Awakening of Insects is a widely-practiced custom in China. As the weather gets warmer and the air becomes dry, people feel their mouths are dry, which can cause colds or coughs. A pear is sweet, juicy and cold. And it is good for people’s health. The 24 Chinese solar terms is interesting, right? I’ll tell you more about it next time. 1．From the passage, we can know that _______.

More than 42 countries took part in the show, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and many other countries. Among the different models of airplanes, the J-20 Drone (无人机) took many people’s breath away. The drone is one of the greatest inventions in recent years. A drone is light and portable, which makes it possible to reach high places in a very short time and be put in a backpack easily. Some small drones are widely used for taking photos and putting on light shows. Other larger drones are used to carry things to far places in a smart way. For example, Mei Tuan Takeout uses drones to send food or packages to people’s offices in Shenzhen. The delivery time has been greatly cut down. Drones can be also set to finish tasks for farmers. They can spray pesticide and check whether the crops are growing well at different time of a day. So a farmer can look after land five times larger than that before. Scientists are also using underwater drones to get information on CO2 levels in the ocean. It’s the newest way to study the ocean’s condition and improve its environment. Drones have a deep influence on our life. People never stop the steps of flying in the sky.

For me, baking is always the favorite thing to do. Last Saturday I wanted to bake something, so I found some recipes(食谱) on the Internet and had a really good idea. I decided to bake a strawberry cake! My mom went to the shop with Jenny to buy some strawberries. After they came back, I started to bake. It was fun, and Jenny was watching next to me. She wanted to help me and I allowed her to put her little hands in the mixture. After a while, we started fighting because I couldn’t work well when she was next to me. I asked my mom to take her away from the kitchen. Minutes later I put the cake into the oven. After some time, the kitchen was full of the smell of the cake. Soon the cake was baked and I had only one more thing to do. I needed to put sugar, water and strawberry juice together and then spread the mixture over the cake. Then, I asked Jenny to help me finish the last step and she was happy. At the end of the day, we enjoyed the cake together.

Luckily, there are new ways for them to raise money, such as having animal shows online, selling cultural products (文化产品), making animal stars and adopting animals online (云认养). For Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo, online adoption is one of the ways to get help to get through hard times. People from all over the world can pay to adopt their favourite animals. The zoo will use the money to buy food for its animals and pay for their medical care. If someone adopts an animal, they can get a certificate (证书) and learn about the animal’s daily life online. They can go to the zoo for free, have the chance to feed the animal and clean its living space. Animals like elephants, golden monkeys, koalas and tigers are all on the adoption list. Each animal has its own introduction. You can see its photo and know about its age and living habits (生活习惯). These new ways to raise money make people think about how a zoo works. Modern zoos are no longer places for visitors to see animals but places to teach people how to protect animals. 1．How many ways are mentioned for the zoos to raise money? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four.

Different people have their own ways to keep fit. A lot of people like running on the treadmills (跑步机). But it is not a good way to make you strong and healthy. Here are some reasons why you should run outdoors but not on the treadmills. It costs you a lot of money to buy a treadmill. You can run outdoors, and it costs you nothing! Walk outside and the whole world is your treadmill. If you don’t mind getting a little dirty, outdoor activities will help you. Treadmills can become boring. You are limited (被限制) to what’s in front of you. Running and exercising outside provides a beautiful scenery (风景). Studies show that just looking at photos of nature can lower blood pressure (降低血压), so imagine what running through it will do. The fresh air and the unpolluted nature will also make you run more easily. You burn (燃烧) more calories running outside than you do on a treadmill, because you have to work harder in order to move your body. When you run on a treadmill, you only move your legs. But when exercising outside, you must move your legs and your hands and so on. Why not go for a run outdoors? Come on! 1．The passage gives ________ reason(s) not to exercise on the treadmills. A．1 B．2 C．3 D．4 2．What can’t running outside provide? A．Clean water. B．The unpolluted nature. C．Fresh air. D．Beautiful scenery. 3．What’s the structure of the passage?

Sitting there worrying is meaningless and it can’t solve (解决) your problems, either. Grades at school are often a top worry for kids. If you worry most about grades, try to ask yourself these questions. ●Why are grades important? What do grades mean (意味) to me? ●How do I get ready for class? Do I go over (复习) my notes when there isn’t a text? ●Do I have a good learning environment (环境)? ●Do I try different ways of studying? If your worries are about a fight with your friend, you might write down what you could do. Write a letter to him or her, invite him or her to watch a basketball game, apologize to him or her and so on. Once you have a list of things to do, you could choose one of them and try to get your friends back. And when you are worried, don’t be afraid to speak it out. It is not a bad idea to ask someone else for help. You can find someone to talk to, such as your parents, friends, teachers and so on. They can give you some advice on how to solve the problems or cool you down. What’s more, try to learn the ways to relax. Going for a run, listening to some quiet music are also good ways to help you relax. When you are relaxed, you can think clearly about the ways to solve your problems. 1．What may happen if we worry too much? A．We may be afraid of making friends. B．We may lose our friends.

It stops every time when it sees a stop light. Your close friend Xiaoice is a robot. If you feel lonely, you can talk with it. It is good at singing, writing poems and telling stories. You can make friends with it! World’s first AI anchor（主播） See this picture! The famous Chinese anchor Qiu Hao is reporting the news. But “he” is not the real Qiu Hao. It is the world’s first AI anchor. It looks and speaks just like a real person. It speaks both Chinese and English. It can work 24 hours without any mistakes. Popular AI artist A beautiful painting was sold for about 3, 000, 000 yuan in 2018. But it isn’t a work by a famous painter, such as Vincent van Gogh. An AI artist painted it.

A study found that 52 of the most common kinds of birds in the USA have become smaller in size in the past 38 years. This change in size follows a rule called Bergmann’s Rule. The rule says that animals in colder areas are usually larger than those in warmer areas. That’s because larger animals are able to keep warmer. As the climate changes, especially facing rising temperatures, ________. Some of them become smaller in size. Scientists studied over 70,000 kinds of birds. They found that some birds in North America were becoming smaller in size. Studies on fish also show the identical thing. Fish become smaller in size too. What does this mean? First, climate change is happening faster than ever before, so animals may not be able to change fast enough. Besides, when an animal becomes smaller, other things will change. When an animal’s body becomes smaller, it may not be able to produce as many little baby animals as before— this may change the number of the population. This shows the bigger problem with climate change— people are not able to know ahead (预先) what will happen when the earth’s temperature keeps rising, and that is the real danger. 1．How many kinds of American birds became smaller in size in the past 38 years? A．38. B．52. C．700. D．70,000. 2．Which of the following can be put in“________ ” in Paragraph 3?

And scientists now say that running is one of the best ways to keep fit. It can make you feel better and look better. Some say it can even make you live longer. All you need for running are some comfortable clothes and a pair of sports shoes. You don’t need to buy special clothes but you should get a good pair of sports shoes. And remember—you should always buy shoes for running one size larger than your usual shoes.      Some people find running boring, so go cycling or swimming instead (代替) sometimes. Also, ▲ . It’s very important to rest two or three times a week. You should eat well and drink lots of water but you can still have nice things like chocolate sometimes. Do some leg exercises every week as well, because this makes you stronger and helps you run better. If you’re a beginner, there are lots of ways to make exercise fun. You can join a club or you can exercise with a friend. Another idea is to run in a race. This can give you a justification to train and keep you interested in running.

Some Chinese parents buy hard cover school back-packs from Japan, although they can be as expensive as 5, 000 yuan, reports Chinese newspaper Urban Express. These backpacks are popular because the hard cover helps hold books in place. This can help kids keep their balance and protect their spines（脊柱）. But in fact, the bags can hardly fit in the students’ desks. A good backpack is important for children’s health. “It can relieve（减轻pressure from the shoulders,” says Dr. Rob Danoff from the US. He also says students need a backpack that’s made for the child’s size. Cushioned（加垫的）backs and shoulder straps（带子）will help them keep the pain away. However, the biggest problem for school backpacks is that they are too heavy, noted Hou Weiguang, a doctor in Chengdu. In China, students have many textbooks and exercise books. “The weight makes many kids suffer from side-bending（侧弯的）spines,” Hou said. He suggests that backpack should be no more than 15 percent of a child’s body weight to avoid pain or injury. That means if a student weighs 50 kg, the backpack should be less than 7.5 kg. Parents need to make sure their kids only carry what they need. Schools and governments need to help too, added Zheng Yongshun, an education official from Hong Kong. He said schools should offer locker（储物柜）space and shared books so kids can carry fewer books. 1．Hard cover school backpacks are popular because ________. A．they are made in Japan B．they are quite expensive C．they help protect kids’ spines D．they can perfectly fit into desks 2．In Paragraph 2, the underlined word “it” refers to ________.

A．how to choose good backpacks B．how to reduce the weight of backpacks C．how to encourage students to share books D．how to design lockers for students （11） Lao She Teahouse opened in 1988.

I’m Gao Gao, and I’ll sing Shanghai opera for you.” With this line, it is just three months after Gao began her online broadcast (直播). Then the Shanghai opera actress attracted (吸引) 30,000 new fans. She is happy about the growing number. But there is some even better news: Many of her fans are young people. Most Shanghai opera lovers are grey-haired. As they continue to age, fewer and fewer of them are able to watch live (现场的) performances in theaters. Gao was concerned about it after her first public performance. “Are many young people born with a natural dislike for Shanghai opera?” Gao once asked herself. This past summer, Gao started to broadcast Shanghai opera online. Few people took an interest in her shows. For two hours, only about 200 people went into her broadcast. Gao was a little sad. Gao hit upon a few good ideas. She sang some popular songs in the Shanghai dialect (方言). She also performed some Shanghai opera classics online. Besides, she always reads the messages from her fans.

People like going fishing during this time. Fishing can make people relaxed, especially for people living in the city. Driving to the countryside, fishing in a lake, bathing in the sunlight and enjoying the singing of birds make for a perfect weekend in spring. Eating pears around the Awakening of Insects is a widely-practiced custom in China. As the weather gets warmer and the air becomes dry, people feel their mouths are dry, which can cause colds or coughs. A pear is sweet, juicy and cold. And it is good for people’s health.

Here are some reasons why you should run outdoors but not on the treadmills. It costs you a lot of money to buy a treadmill. You can run outdoors, and it costs you nothing! Walk outside and the whole world is your treadmill. If you don’t mind getting a little dirty, outdoor activities will help you. Treadmills can become boring. You are limited (被限制) to what’s in front of you. Running and exercising outside provides a beautiful scenery (风景). Studies show that just looking at photos of nature can lower blood pressure (降低血压), so imagine what running through it will do. The fresh air and the unpolluted nature will also make you run more easily. You burn (燃烧) more calories running outside than you do on a treadmill, because you have to work harder in order to move your body. When you run on a treadmill, you only move your legs.

If you worry most about grades, try to ask yourself these questions. ●Why are grades important? What do grades mean (意味) to me? ●How do I get ready for class? Do I go over (复习) my notes when there isn’t a text? ●Do I have a good learning environment (环境)? ●Do I try different ways of studying? If your worries are about a fight with your friend, you might write down what you could do. Write a letter to him or her, invite him or her to watch a basketball game, apologize to him or her and so on. Once you have a list of things to do, you could choose one of them and try to get your friends back. And when you are worried, don’t be afraid to speak it out. It is not a bad idea to ask someone else for help. You can find someone to talk to, such as your parents, friends, teachers and so on. They can give you some advice on how to solve the problems or cool you down. What’s more, try to learn the ways to relax.

A study found that 52 of the most common kinds of birds in the USA have become smaller in size in the past 38 years. This change in size follows a rule called Bergmann’s Rule. The rule says that animals in colder areas are usually larger than those in warmer areas. That’s because larger animals are able to keep warmer. As the climate changes, especially facing rising temperatures, ________. Some of them become smaller in size. Scientists studied over 70,000 kinds of birds. They found that some birds in North America were becoming smaller in size. Studies on fish also show the identical thing. Fish become smaller in size too. What does this mean? First, climate change is happening faster than ever before, so animals may not be able to change fast enough. Besides, when an animal becomes smaller, other things will change. When an animal’s body becomes smaller, it may not be able to produce as many little baby animals as before— this may change the number of the population. This shows the bigger problem with climate change— people are not able to know ahead (预先) what will happen when the earth’s temperature keeps rising, and that is the real danger. 1．How many kinds of American birds became smaller in size in the past 38 years?

Some Chinese parents buy hard cover school back-packs from Japan, although they can be as expensive as 5, 000 yuan, reports Chinese newspaper Urban Express. These backpacks are popular because the hard cover helps hold books in place. This can help kids keep their balance and protect their spines（脊柱）. But in fact, the bags can hardly fit in the students’ desks. A good backpack is important for children’s health. “It can relieve（减轻pressure from the shoulders,” says Dr. Rob Danoff from the US. He also says students need a backpack that’s made for the child’s size. Cushioned（加垫的）backs and shoulder straps（带子）will help them keep the pain away. However, the biggest problem for school backpacks is that they are too heavy, noted Hou Weiguang, a doctor in Chengdu. In China, students have many textbooks and exercise books. “The weight makes many kids suffer from side-bending（侧弯的）spines,” Hou said. He suggests that backpack should be no more than 15 percent of a child’s body weight to avoid pain or injury. That means if a student weighs 50 kg, the backpack should be less than 7.5 kg. Parents need to make sure their kids only carry what they need. Schools and governments need to help too, added Zheng Yongshun, an education official from Hong Kong. He said schools should offer locker（储物柜）space and shared books so kids can carry fewer books. 1．Hard cover school backpacks are popular because ________.

Gao hit upon a few good ideas. She sang some popular songs in the Shanghai dialect (方言). She also performed some Shanghai opera classics online. Besides, she always reads the messages from her fans.
