Do you know glamping (豪华露营)? It is a new way of camping among young Chinese. Traditional camping often lets people sleep in simple tents, but glamping makes comfortable beds and chairs, bathrooms, kitchens and other things available to people. 27-year-old Yoga Song is a glamping lover. In April, 2021, Song took her first glamping trip in Zhongwei, Ningxia. Zhongwei has many attractions (景区), such as the Yellow River, parts of the Great Wall and old villages. Many good hotels are also available in the city. But when Song got there, she decided to try something different—glamping. Song’s special glamping tent was just 10 meters away from the Yellow River. Cows and sheep came by her tent from time to time. At night, Song could see the sky filled with stars. It was quiet and beautiful. And inside the tent, Song could sleep well. She enjoyed the trip very much. After the trip to Zhongwei, Song started to take more glamping trips in China. “Some of my friends can just go camping in the mountains with only a backpack,” Song said. “That is too hard for me. I want to get close to nature, but I can’t give up the comfort of life.” For many young people, glamping is just the right activity for vacations.

Sometimes parents think about whether they should really give their kids some housework. In some parents’ eyes, kids should just be kids. After all, they are still young and it will be a long time for them to do housework after they grow up. So they don’t want their kids to do any housework. For most kids, it seems that their duty is to study hard, so they are busy with their schoolwork all the time. They have little time to do the cleaning or fold the clothes. However, I think teaching your kids to do some easy housework is important. Kids who do housework can learn some life skills. They will be useful in the future life. And they can also teach children to be independent in their life. Once kids start going to school, you can ask them to do some simple things at home. For example, teach your kids to put away their shoes and schoolbags. Then, you can gradually give more jobs to them. As the jobs become more difficult, you can teach your kids slowly how to finish each of them. For example, when kids do the dishes, tell them as clearly as possible how much washing-up liquid (洗涤剂) they need to use. It is common that kids can’t do everything very well at their first try. But don’t worry. Just give them more chances, and they will do the jobs better and better. 1．Why do some parents NOT want their kids to do any housework? A．Because they are still young. B．Because they are too busy. C．Because parents can do everything. D．Because they can't do housework well. 2．What does the writer think of asking kids to do some housework? A．It’s boring. B．It’s enjoyable. C．It’s difficult. D．It’s necessary (有必要的). 3．What does the underlined word “gradually” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Slowly. B．Clearly. C．Especially. D．Carefully. 4．What’s the main idea of the third paragraph? A．Kids must do housework that they're able to do. B．Parents should teach kids how to do housework quickly. C．Parents should make kids do housework from simple things. D．Parents should give more chances to kids when they make mistakes. 5．What does the text mainly talk about? A．What children’s duty is. B．Parents should let kids do some housework. C．Parents should do housework with their kids. D．Why children should finish their homework first. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，围绕“父母是否应让孩子做家务”的话题展开，分析部分家长不愿孩子做家务的原因，阐述作者认为孩子做简单家务很有必要的观点，并介绍家长教孩子做家务的方法。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“In some parents’ eyes, kids should just be kids.

Some people even think getting in touch with their old friends is as hard as talking to strange people. Lara Aknin, one of the psychologists, said, “Most people are worried that they have different lifestyles and interests now. But these differences can be helpful for people to get close to each other. After sharing something new and interesting, they won't feel embarrassed（尴尬的） at all.

If you’re a quiet and shy person and want to know how to make friends, here’s some advice for you. ②Start with small things. If you have a feeling of loneliness (孤单), don’t be afraid of making friends with others. Always start with small steps. Begin communicating with one or two people to get comfortable in socializing (交际). That way your life won’t be too busy and you’ll learn something about communication. ③Get along with people who have similar interests to you. If you communicate with a few people first, get to know them and try to find your common interests. For example, if both of you like soccer or basketball, then sports can be a good topic between you and your friend. ④Remember quality over quantity. It’s always about having two or three good friendships instead of having ten unstable (不稳定) relationships. The more we care about quantity, the more tiring our lives will be. Try to make friends with those who help you in trouble. ⑤Keep positives (积极的) and never compare. Even if you can’t find your true friend in few months or years, you should keep on trying. Always keep your experiences in the past to continue building your friendships. Also, never forget that every person is special in his/ her ways. So, don’t compare one friend of yours with another.

Seals breathe air, but that doesn’t stop them from sleeping underwater. They hold their breath and dive deep to sleep for up to twenty minutes at a time. Some fish make their own sleeping bags.

Here are some interesting facts. How do birds fly? Birds have one feature (特点) that tells them apart from all other animals: feathers. These strong feathers, together with their light bodies, allow birds to fly with amazing skills and speed. Their special wings can be used in many different ways to control height and direction. Some birds fly high, while others stay low to the ground. Why do birds fly south in the winter? Birds move from one place to another for some reasons. Some areas in the world are only comfortable during the warmer months of the year. So when cold weather comes, birds fly to warmer areas. These trips can be as long as thousands of miles. In this way, they can find lots of food. _____________ Bird families work together to build nests, and each bird has its own special job. Some birds are great at collecting things, while others are good at building. Once they started, every bird followed, and now they have a tradition. Younger birds watch and try to copy what the older ones do. This teamwork helps them learn the ways to build special nests. 1．What feature tells birds from all other animals? A．Light bodies.

Then the god pulled (拔) the tree out and planted it upside down (颠倒) to make sure it stayed in one place. What’s the tree? It’s the baobab tree, also called the monkey bread tree, the bottle tree or others. The baobab tree is a strange-look tree that grows in Africa and Australia. Just like its name “the bottle tree”, it looks like a large bottle. Some grow as tall as a 16-floor building. During the dry season, these trees are standing there without leaves, and look like trunks (树干) sticking up in the air. But when the rainy season comes, leaves appear and then flowers come out. Later, the flowers can turn into fruit. The baobab is called “the tree of life”, because it can live for more than 1,000 years. In the dry land, the baobab can pull in and hold 1,000 gallons of water. Thirsty people can drink the water stored in the tree. The fruit, monkey bread, is good to eat. Baobab leaves are a kind of medicine. People can use the bark (树皮) to make paper or cloth. When a baobab gets old, its trunk becomes hollow. An old tree can hold many people. The local people often build their houses inside these trunks. It is such a useful tree that some people can hardly live without it. 1．How does the writer begin the text? A．By singing a song. B．By showing a story. C．By asking a question. D．By giving an example. 2．Which of the following pictures is the baobab? A． B． C． D． 3．What does the underlined word “hollow” mean in Paragraph 3?

C．A special tree—the baobab D．The baobab’s trunk, leaves and fruit 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了猴面包树，讲述了关于它的传说、外观、价值等内容。 1．细节理解题。根据“Long ago, when the God first planted a tree in the garden”可知，作者讲述了上帝种树的故事，所以作者是通过展示一个故事来开始这篇文章的，故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“During the dry season, these trees are standing there without leaves, and look like trunks (树干) sticking up in the air.”可知，旱季猴面包树的样子是没有叶子，像树干直立在空中，故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据“When a baobab gets old, its trunk becomes hollow. An old tree can hold many people.”可知，老树能容纳很多人，说明树干里面是空的；可推测出“empty”意为“空的”，与“hollow”意思相近。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“Baobab is called ‘the tree of life’, because they can live longer than 1000 years old.”可知猴面包树能活1000多年，不是不到1000 年。故选D。 5．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了猴面包树，包括它的外观、生长环境、用途等，C选项“一种特殊的树——猴面包树”为最佳标题。故选C。 2 / 52 1 / 52 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年初中英语八年级上册期中高频考点通关 06阅读理解 30篇 （人教版2024） （一） Protect Animals, Protect the World Animals are important to our world.

In April, 2021, Song took her first glamping trip in Zhongwei, Ningxia. Zhongwei has many attractions (景区), such as the Yellow River, parts of the Great Wall and old villages. Many good hotels are also available in the city. But when Song got there, she decided to try something different—glamping. Song’s special glamping tent was just 10 meters away from the Yellow River. Cows and sheep came by her tent from time to time. At night, Song could see the sky filled with stars. It was quiet and beautiful. And inside the tent, Song could sleep well. She enjoyed the trip very much. After the trip to Zhongwei, Song started to take more glamping trips in China. “Some of my friends can just go camping in the mountains with only a backpack,” Song said. “That is too hard for me. I want to get close to nature, but I can’t give up the comfort of life.” For many young people, glamping is just the right activity for vacations.

Sometimes parents think about whether they should really give their kids some housework. In some parents’ eyes, kids should just be kids. After all, they are still young and it will be a long time for them to do housework after they grow up. So they don’t want their kids to do any housework. For most kids, it seems that their duty is to study hard, so they are busy with their schoolwork all the time. They have little time to do the cleaning or fold the clothes. However, I think teaching your kids to do some easy housework is important. Kids who do housework can learn some life skills. They will be useful in the future life. And they can also teach children to be independent in their life. Once kids start going to school, you can ask them to do some simple things at home. For example, teach your kids to put away their shoes and schoolbags. Then, you can gradually give more jobs to them. As the jobs become more difficult, you can teach your kids slowly how to finish each of them. For example, when kids do the dishes, tell them as clearly as possible how much washing-up liquid (洗涤剂) they need to use. It is common that kids can’t do everything very well at their first try. But don’t worry. Just give them more chances, and they will do the jobs better and better. 1．Why do some parents NOT want their kids to do any housework? A．Because they are still young. B．Because they are too busy. C．Because parents can do everything. D．Because they can't do housework well. 2．What does the writer think of asking kids to do some housework? A．It’s boring.

It will make them happier and they may want to do more chores. Parents should give kids something to do at home. It can help kids be a responsible person in life. They will see the good side of keeping things clean and tidy, and they will also be thankful for everything parents do for them. Making plans is a life skill that can be got from doing chores. As kids get older, parents can start to teach them how to plan their own time and things well.

They don't know how to start the conversation again if they don't talk with their friends for a long time. Many people want to get in touch with old friends, but they are afraid to do so.

Some people even think getting in touch with their old friends is as hard as talking to strange people. Lara Aknin, one of the psychologists, said, “Most people are worried that they have different lifestyles and interests now. But these differences can be helpful for people to get close to each other. After sharing something new and interesting, they won't feel embarrassed（尴尬的） at all.

If you have a feeling of loneliness (孤单), don’t be afraid of making friends with others. Always start with small steps. Begin communicating with one or two people to get comfortable in socializing (交际). That way your life won’t be too busy and you’ll learn something about communication. ③Get along with people who have similar interests to you. If you communicate with a few people first, get to know them and try to find your common interests. For example, if both of you like soccer or basketball, then sports can be a good topic between you and your friend. ④Remember quality over quantity. It’s always about having two or three good friendships instead of having ten unstable (不稳定) relationships. The more we care about quantity, the more tiring our lives will be. Try to make friends with those who help you in trouble. ⑤Keep positives (积极的) and never compare. Even if you can’t find your true friend in few months or years, you should keep on trying. Always keep your experiences in the past to continue building your friendships. Also, never forget that every person is special in his/ her ways. So, don’t compare one friend of yours with another.

Then the god pulled (拔) the tree out and planted it upside down (颠倒) to make sure it stayed in one place. What’s the tree? It’s the baobab tree, also called the monkey bread tree, the bottle tree or others. The baobab tree is a strange-look tree that grows in Africa and Australia. Just like its name “the bottle tree”, it looks like a large bottle. Some grow as tall as a 16-floor building. During the dry season, these trees are standing there without leaves, and look like trunks (树干) sticking up in the air. But when the rainy season comes, leaves appear and then flowers come out. Later, the flowers can turn into fruit. The baobab is called “the tree of life”, because it can live for more than 1,000 years. In the dry land, the baobab can pull in and hold 1,000 gallons of water. Thirsty people can drink the water stored in the tree. The fruit, monkey bread, is good to eat. Baobab leaves are a kind of medicine. People can use the bark (树皮) to make paper or cloth. When a baobab gets old, its trunk becomes hollow. An old tree can hold many people. The local people often build their houses inside these trunks. It is such a useful tree that some people can hardly live without it. 1．How does the writer begin the text? A．By singing a song.
