2025-2026学年八年级英语上学期满分冲刺专练（人教版2024） Unit 3 Same or Different? 阅读理解专练 （1） Friends play an important part in our lives. Teenager Centre did a survey on “What do you think the most important thing about a friendship is?” 360 teenagers took part in the survey. The following is the result. Dr Allen wrote a report about it. Let’s read it together. Honesty is where a good friendship starts. You must tell true feelings to your friends. Keep their secrets to yourself and never break promises, or you may lose your friends. Generosity means sharing, and sharing makes the friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, of course. Instead, you share your ideas and feelings. Understanding can be valuable to a friend. Everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place, so you can understand the problem better. No two friendships are ever exactly alike (相像的). But all true friendships may have some things in common. In fact, good friendships will just not easily last. Many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give the friendship back. That is one of the reasons why some friendships don’t last very long. Therefore, to keep a lasting friendship, you must give as much as you take. 1．How many teenagers think understanding is the most important between friends in the survey? A．100. B．80. C．110. D．120. 2．According to the text, a good friendship usually begins from ________. A．honesty B．understanding C．generosity D．similarity 3．According to the text, a generous friend always ________. A．keeps your secret B．gives you money C．shares ideas with you D．solves your problems 4．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Friends don’t need to be similar. B．A good friend touches your heart. C．Giving is important in a friendship. D．You should take as much as possible. 5．The text is written to ________. A．teach teenagers how to make a survey B．teach people how to make new friends C．tell people what makes a good friendship D．help people understand the importance of friends （2） Two friends, Jason and Harry, lived happily on neighbouring farms. They worked together and helped each other for many years. But one day, the two friends had a big fight. Every time they met each other, they just walked away without any words.   One morning, there was a knock on Jason’s door. When he opened the door, Jason saw an old carpenter (木匠). He asked Jason if there was anything in need of fixing on his farm. Jason thought for a few minutes and asked the carpenter to build a high fence (篱笆) around the farm. “I never want to see Harry’s face again!” said Jason.   The old carpenter then learnt about what happened to the two friends. He thought quietly for a while and said, “I see.” Then Jason went to the city to buy things. When he came back in the evening, he was surprised. He didn’t see any fences, but a bridge over the small river between his farm and Harry’s!   Just then, Harry got out of his house and saw the bridge. He ran across the bridge and hugged (拥抱) Jason. They both said sorry to each other. The carpenter collected his tools and was ready to leave. “Please stay for a few more days. We have more things that need fixing,” said the friends. “I’d love to, sirs,” the carpenter smiled. “But I have many more bridges to build and things to fix in other places.” 1．What problem did Jason and Harry have?

After walking about 10 kilometres by the mountain, and just as he was about to give up, the Frenchman saw a beautiful place—Tunxi. He fell in love with the beautiful nature there. Lecomte lived in Tunxi for three months. The place is best known for its centuries-old street. “I didn’t want to leave here anymore,” Lecomte recalled. Eventually, his trip to China turned into a long stay. He often hikes or rides a motorcycle with his friends, escaping from the busy cities to find hidden scenery (隐秘的风景) around Huangshan Mountain. They repeatedly seek out riverside fields, ancient villages, and secluded forests. Lecomte likes taking photos wherever he goes. Up till now he has taken more than 118,000 photos in China. Now, he shares these photos on Chinese social media (社交媒体).

He’s very different from me and we fight a lot. ” “Sometimes I want to be alone. But my sister is always there! ” “I can’t have secrets (秘密) when my brother is around. He reads my text messages! ” “My sister uses my things — and she doesn’t ask me first! I hate that! ” According to a website, these problems are not unusual. Most teenagers have a difficult relationship with their siblings (兄弟；姐妹). They fight a lot. Usually, teenagers are not worried about their siblings when things go badly for them. And they are not proud of them when things go well! But most grown-ups really care about their siblings and have a good relationship. So when do things change? According to the website, the answer is: Around the age of 25. Madison is 28 years old. Her brother, Tyler, is 26. “I remember big, terrible fights with Tyler, ” says Madison. “But now, our relationship is very different. We get on well with each other and we don’t fight. We go out together two or three times a month and we have a great time. We’re interested in the same things. ” But for teenage brothers and sisters with difficult relationships, what can they do? How can they get on well? Here are a few ideas. * When your brother or sister uses your things, don’t get angry about that — learn to share. * See your brother or sister as a friend — and be nice! * Don’t tell people your brother’s or sister’s secrets. * Give your brother or sister some time alone when he or she needs it. Of course, the other answer is: Just wait ten years! 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By telling readers a true story. B．By asking teenagers some questions. C．By giving readers useful advice.

B．Using things without asking first. C．Having siblings. D．Learning to share. 4．Why does the writer write this text? A．To tell some stories about happy sibling relationships. B．To discuss possible reasons for fights between siblings. C．To show sibling problems are common and give advice. D．To invite teenagers to join the discussion about siblings. （5） S, M, P and C stand for different people who have different personalities. S people are the most popular at the party. They are friendly, energetic and humorous. They are interested in anything new and exciting and others always have fun with them. At the same time, they are careless and forgetful. M people are very careful and do everything as planned. They always want to find faults and never feel pleased with anything around them. They are strict with themselves, as well as with others. M people are real friends. If they make friends with you, it means that they will be your friends for life. They will do anything for their friends at any time. P people can easily be satisfied. They are peaceful and calm. But being peaceful and calm makes them very dull (迟钝的). They are always bystanders. P people are good listeners and are always ready to accept others’ opinions. C people are leaders and workaholics (工作狂). They are brave and are never afraid of taking risks. However, they don’t care about others’ opinions and seldom think of others. They want others to follow them, but they hate waiting for others. There are no good or bad personalities. Every personality has two sides.

Through some research on the human brain, they’ve discovered some interesting facts. Generally, women’s brains make them notice and remember details (细节) more easily. They are more likely to think back to the smell in a room, the sound of a song, or the little things they see during the day. For example, a woman might easily remember what her friend wore last week. However, men’s brains are more focused on the task at hand. A man will pay more attention to a single (单一的) job until it’s fully finished. He might work on fixing a car without being influenced by other things. These different thinking patterns also influence how they view their lives. Women usually see all sides of their lives as connected. If they have a bad day at work, it might influence their mood (情绪) at home. However, men usually see each part of their lives, like work, hobbies, and family, as separate (独立的) pieces. In a team, men and women contribute (贡献) differently. Women are more likely to share ideas and build good relationships among team members. Men, on the other hand, prefer to arrange tasks and make everyone work effectively (有效地). Although men and women have their differences, both ways of thinking are important. They help us solve different problems and answer all kinds of questions in life. 1．What does the underlined word “curious” mean in Paragraph 1? A．Interested. B．Happy. C．Surprised. D．Angry. 2．What do men usually do in group tasks? A．Share their ideas. B．Build good relationships. C．Finish tasks with the least time.

C．We need both men’s and women’s ways of thinking to live better. D．Men and women can’t work together well because of their different thinking. 4．What’s the writer’s purpose (目的) of writing the text? A．To show men and women are totally different. B．To explain why men and women think differently. C．To encourage men and women to learn from each other. D．To show the thinking differences between men and women. （7） 17-year-old Haley Bridges is from Wisconsin, USA．Last August, at the end of her high school, she started working in a fast food restaurant in Wisconsin. There, she met Taniguchi and they became friends. Taniguchi rode a bike to work and it took her about two hours. “It was a little hard,” the 19-year-old girl said, “because it was a bit cold here in Wisconsin.” The two friends took part in a raffle (买彩票抽奖) at Christmas last year. The winner could get a car. ①Bridges’ car didn’t work well, but she still promised to give the car to Taniguchi if she won. ②The moment Bridges heard her name at the Christmas party, she felt as if there were just them two in the room. They hugged each other and cried. Everyone else was either crying or cheering, too. “I can’t believe this is real,” Taniguchi said. “Now I can go to work by car.” Taniguchi helped Bridges a lot while they were working at the restaurant. “She changed my life so much and I’m so happy to be the one to change her life, too.

He thought that he was the best in everything he did. Whenever he lost, he would always find excuses (借口). One Friday, Randy and Jack came to the playground to play badminton. Jack was much better at badminton than Randy. After about half an hour, Randy said to Jack, “Oh, I need to take a rest. I have to say that you are really good at this game.” Their classmate Nick heard this. He laughed out loud and said, “Randy, that’s because you are really bad at the sport. I am the best of the three of us.” Then he asked Jack if he would like to play with him. Jack said, “OK.” Then the two began to play. As a tall boy, Nick showed great skill (技巧) at playing badminton. It was not easy for Jack to win, but he still won the game. To Jack’s surprise, Nick said, “I can win if I have a racket (球拍) as good as yours.” However, Jack didn’t think so. He said, “Let’s swap rackets to play again. ” Unluckily Nick still lost the game. This time Nick had no excuses. He lowered his head and planned to leave.

You live in the same house and with the same parents, but you have different personalities (性格). Why? One reason may be the way your parents think of you. Firstborn children get more love from their parents. Most families have twice as many photos of a firstborn as any other child. Parents usually give firstborn children more responsibility (责任) and ask them to look after younger brothers or sisters. As a result, firstborn children are often responsible, hard­working and jealous (妒忌的). They often want to do well at school and work. When a second child arrives, parents are more relaxed. The second child has to compete (竞争) with the firstborn for parents and love. These children often have different sports and interests to do well in at school and work, but they must have a new way to get their family’s care. They are often friendly and cool. Do you think so? 1．Why are firstborn children often responsible? A．Because they get more love from their parents. B．Because they have to compete with the second­born children.

Teenager Centre did a survey on “What do you think the most important thing about a friendship is?” 360 teenagers took part in the survey. The following is the result. Dr Allen wrote a report about it. Let’s read it together. Honesty is where a good friendship starts. You must tell true feelings to your friends. Keep their secrets to yourself and never break promises, or you may lose your friends. Generosity means sharing, and sharing makes the friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, of course. Instead, you share your ideas and feelings. Understanding can be valuable to a friend. Everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place, so you can understand the problem better. No two friendships are ever exactly alike (相像的). But all true friendships may have some things in common. In fact, good friendships will just not easily last. Many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give the friendship back. That is one of the reasons why some friendships don’t last very long. Therefore, to keep a lasting friendship, you must give as much as you take. 1．How many teenagers think understanding is the most important between friends in the survey? A．100. B．80. C．110.

They worked together and helped each other for many years. But one day, the two friends had a big fight. Every time they met each other, they just walked away without any words.   One morning, there was a knock on Jason’s door. When he opened the door, Jason saw an old carpenter (木匠).

He’s very different from me and we fight a lot. ” “Sometimes I want to be alone. But my sister is always there! ” “I can’t have secrets (秘密) when my brother is around. He reads my text messages! ” “My sister uses my things — and she doesn’t ask me first! I hate that! ” According to a website, these problems are not unusual. Most teenagers have a difficult relationship with their siblings (兄弟；姐妹). They fight a lot. Usually, teenagers are not worried about their siblings when things go badly for them. And they are not proud of them when things go well! But most grown-ups really care about their siblings and have a good relationship. So when do things change? According to the website, the answer is: Around the age of 25. Madison is 28 years old. Her brother, Tyler, is 26. “I remember big, terrible fights with Tyler, ” says Madison. “But now, our relationship is very different. We get on well with each other and we don’t fight. We go out together two or three times a month and we have a great time. We’re interested in the same things. ” But for teenage brothers and sisters with difficult relationships, what can they do? How can they get on well? Here are a few ideas. * When your brother or sister uses your things, don’t get angry about that — learn to share. * See your brother or sister as a friend — and be nice! * Don’t tell people your brother’s or sister’s secrets. * Give your brother or sister some time alone when he or she needs it.

Through some research on the human brain, they’ve discovered some interesting facts. Generally, women’s brains make them notice and remember details (细节) more easily. They are more likely to think back to the smell in a room, the sound of a song, or the little things they see during the day. For example, a woman might easily remember what her friend wore last week. However, men’s brains are more focused on the task at hand. A man will pay more attention to a single (单一的) job until it’s fully finished. He might work on fixing a car without being influenced by other things. These different thinking patterns also influence how they view their lives. Women usually see all sides of their lives as connected. If they have a bad day at work, it might influence their mood (情绪) at home. However, men usually see each part of their lives, like work, hobbies, and family, as separate (独立的) pieces. In a team, men and women contribute (贡献) differently. Women are more likely to share ideas and build good relationships among team members. Men, on the other hand, prefer to arrange tasks and make everyone work effectively (有效地). Although men and women have their differences, both ways of thinking are important. They help us solve different problems and answer all kinds of questions in life. 1．What does the underlined word “curious” mean in Paragraph 1? A．Interested. B．Happy. C．Surprised.

Jack was much better at badminton than Randy. After about half an hour, Randy said to Jack, “Oh, I need to take a rest.

You live in the same house and with the same parents, but you have different personalities (性格). Why? One reason may be the way your parents think of you. Firstborn children get more love from their parents. Most families have twice as many photos of a firstborn as any other child. Parents usually give firstborn children more responsibility (责任) and ask them to look after younger brothers or sisters. As a result, firstborn children are often responsible, hard­working and jealous (妒忌的). They often want to do well at school and work. When a second child arrives, parents are more relaxed. The second child has to compete (竞争) with the firstborn for parents and love.
