Mary grumbled and threw the socks into the basket. “Why me?” she said in a low and unhappy voice. Her mom was cleaning the kitchen floor. She looked up and answered, “We’re a family, right?” Mary thought of her friend Emma. Emma’s house was always clean because they had a cleaner. “Why can’t we get a cleaner too?” Mary asked. “Doing chores teaches you responsibility (责任),” her mom said slowly. Mary still didn’t like chores, but that began to change when her history teacher gave the class a project (项目) called “Hidden Heroes.” When Mary was looking for information, she found a story about Mierle Ukeles, an artist from the 1970s. Ukeles thought housework was like “art”. She even cleaned museums to show its importance. Mary was surprised. That weekend, Mary started to notice something different. Her dad fixed (修理) the broken window. Her mom’s hands looked dirty from cleaning. Her little brother watered the flowers outside. Mary finally understood: their home needed everyone’s care. For her project, Mary made a video about her family’s Saturday chores. She wrote funny titles like “Dad: The Fixer and Breakfast Maker” and “Mom: The Cleaning Boss.” She shared it in class, and all her classmates loved it. Emma even said, “Chores aren’t that boring.” Mary agreed. 5．How often did Mary have to wash clothes? A．Hardly ever. B．Every day. C．Every Saturday. 6．What does the underlined word “grumbled” mean in Paragraph 2? A．嘟囔抱怨 B．轻声道歉 C．大声欢呼 7．Why did Ukeles clean museums? A．To get a job there. B．To practice her art skills.

Different people have different hobbies. Some people like reading, some like swimming, and some like collecting things. I have many hobbies, such as reading, skating, and travelling. I used to read books in my free time. At that time, reading was part of my life. At night, I could hardly get to sleep without a novel in my hand. But later I found I could only learn by reading but couldn’t get knowledge from others. I needed a change. Travelling is my hobby now. I can visit many different places by travelling. I can learn a lot about people. I have many good friends. They all have their hobbies. Ann studies very hard. Her hobby is reading. Tony loves working with his hands, and his hobby is gardening. He plants flowers and trees in his yard. Judy is quiet. She likes knitting (编织). She always knits sweaters for her dolls.

A．Different Hobbies, Shared Friendship B．How to Make Friends C．Reading Is Important D．Ways of Travelling Hi, I’m Wisdom, the world’s oldest wild bird. I am 74 years old, but I’m still laying (下蛋) eggs! On November 26, 2024, I returned to my favourite home on Midway Atoll and laid one more egg. Not bad for an old bird, huh? Midway Atoll is an island in the big Pacific Ocean. Every year, about 1.3 million laysan albatrosses (黑背信天翁) like me come together here. We spend most of our lives flying over the ocean, but we always come back here to raise our baby birds. Back in 1956, scientists put a little band on my leg with the number Z333 to study me more easily. They guessed I was 5 years old at the time, the youngest age we can lay eggs. They follow me all the time. Most laysan albatrosses live 12 to 40 years, so I am like a bird superstar. My leg band was changed six times because I lived longer than people thought I would! Laysan albatrosses usually choose one partner for life, but I lived longer than many of my partners. For years, I stayed with Akeakamai, but he went away some time ago. In 2024, I found a new partner, and on November 26, we laid an egg together. My partner and I are taking turns sitting on the egg, keeping it warm. If it breaks open and a baby bird comes out in February, we will spend about seven months feeding and protecting the baby bird until it is ready to fly. It is a lot of work, but I did it many times before— scientists say I laid 50 to 60 eggs in my lifetime, and I had 30 to 36 baby birds. My last baby bird was born in 2021 when I was 70. Oh, and fun fact: in 2017, scientists saw one of my grown children building a home nearby. I may be a mum, grandma, and even great-grandma by now. At 74, I am still flying strongly, raising baby birds, and showing everyone that age is just a number. Let’s see if this egg can work well—I might have a new baby bird to add to my bird family! 13．According to the article, ______ introduces this article to us. A．A hunter living on the island. B．A writer visiting Midway Atoll. C．Wisdom, the bird itself. D．A birdwatcher studying birds. 14．Which is the correct order of these events in the story? ① Wisdom’s last baby bird was born. ② Scientists put a band on Wisdom’s leg. ③ Wisdom found a new partner and laid an egg together. ④ Scientists saw Wisdom’s grown child building a home nearby. A．②④③① B．②④①③ C．④②③① D．④②①③ 15．From the article, we know ______. A．Wisdom never changes her partner. B．Wisdom only lays one egg every year. C．Wisdom lives longer than most laysan albatrosses. D．Wisdom’s leg band was changed five times. 16．The best title for this article is ______. A．My bird family B．How birds lay eggs C．Life on Midway Atoll D．All about me: the oldest wild bird On 24th October, two Chinese bakers, Lin Yeqiang and Feng Yingjie, stood head and shoulders above the other bakers around the world. They became the world winners! Their winning secret was using Chinese ingredients. They made bread with highland barley (青稞) from Tibet, pepper from Hunan, and roses from Yunnan. A star bread in the competition (比赛) was the panda highland barley bread. Lin said, “Highland barley has a special smell. The way of fermentation (发酵) makes it even more special.” The team carried out over 50 tests before the competition to get the perfect bread. To show more Chinese culture, the team painted pandas on the bread. It ended up being cute and delicious in a Chinese style. They also made a large bread rabbit alongside other animal—shaped bread pieces. The idea was from the movie Zootopia. In this movie, different animals work together for better lives. “Even different kinds of animals can live happily together. Similarly, as humans, we should help each other no matter where we are from and what we believe in,” said Lin. “China is home to so many amazing foods. Bread, as a wonderful carrier, allows us to introduce these great tastes to the rest of the world,” said Lin. He is working on bringing together Chinese medicinal diets and baking. 17．What does the underlined phrase “stood head and shoulders above” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．were taller than B．were angry with C．were better than D．were careful with 18．What ingredients were in Lin Yeqiang and Feng Yingjie’s bread? A．Fish. B．Roses. C．Tomatoes. D．Strawberries. 19．Which of the following can best describe Lin Yeqiang and Feng Yingjie? A．Creative. B．Outgoing. C．Funny. D．Honest. 20．What is the main idea of the text? A．It discusses the importance of healthy food ingredients. B．It introduces the top movies about animals in the world. C．It reports two bakers won a world prize with Chinese-style food. D．It explains why people enjoy traveling to different places in China. Have you ever thought about what you want to be when you grow up? Do you want to be a singer, a dancer or a writer? Almost everyone has his or her favourite job when they are young. Our Chinese teacher Mr. Brown asked us about our dreams in class today. Here are the results. After discussion, Mr. Brown asked three students to share their dream jobs and reasons. Linda I want to be a teacher like my father. Teachers play an important part in passing on the knowledge (知识). Andrew I began to play the violin when I was 4, and I am quite good at it. My dream is to give excellent performances to people around the world. Mike I’d like to be a computer programmer. It is a hot job these days. Some people think computer science is more boring than computer games, but I don’t think so. 21．Which job is the most popular among students? A．Teacher. B．Doctor. C．Scientist. D．Musician. 22．What is Andrew’s dream according to the passage? A．To pass on knowledge to kids in his hometown. B．To be a computer programmer in a big city. C．To work as a doctor to save people’s lives. D．To give excellent shows to people around the world. 23．How does Mike like computer science? A．Difficult. B．Boring. C．Interesting. D．Surprising. 24．In which part of a newspaper can we read this passage? A．School life. B．Culture. C．Science. D．Health. What will our lives be like in 50 years? In the future, I think we will live on Mars. Here is what life will be like there. First, transport will be much better. Now, our spaceships (宇宙飞船) are too slow to get to Mars—it takes more than six months. However, in the future, it’ll only take two days to get there! Second, we need food, water and air to live. Scientists will cultivate (培育) some plants that can grow on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air we need. There is a problem for us. Mars pulls us less than the earth does. This will not be secure, because we can easily fly into space and be unable (不能的) to return. To stop this, humans on Mars need to wear special shoes. They can help people become heavy. People on Mars will have more free time. Robots will do most of our work, so we’ll have more time for our hobbies. However, life on Mars may not be better than that on Earth today. Food will not be as delicious as it is today. 25．The future spaceships will be ________. A．bigger B．smaller C．faster D．slower 26．What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A．The air on Mars will be cleaner. B．There will be some plants on Mars. C．There will be no water on Mars. D．Humans can live even without plants. 27．The underlined word “secure” probably means “________”. A．dangerous B．safe C．funny D．busy 28．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．The Future of the Earth. B．The Dreams of Humans. C．The Problems on the Earth. D．Life on Mars in the Future. The most basic and powerful way to connect (沟通) with another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our full attention (注意力). When people are talking, just listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most of the time caring about it is even more important than understanding it. It has taken me a long time to believe in the power of saying and meaning “I’m so sorry” when someone is sad. One of my friends told me that when she tried to tell her story, people often broke in to tell her that something similar happened to them even when she didn’t finish her words. For some reason, her sadness became a story about them. In the end, she stopped talking to most people. We connect through listening. When we break into what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care. This easy thing isn’t that easy to learn. When I was young, I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the answer. A loving silence (沉默) often has more power to comfort and to connect than the kindest words. 29．In the writer’s eyes, the most important thing we can give people is ________. A．plenty of money B．lots of freedom C．full attention D．a smile 30．We should ________ when our friends are sad. A．share our sad stories with them B．listen to their stories and say “I’m so sorry” C．let them enjoy the silence and not talk about it D．tell them something interesting to make them happy 31．The underlined phrase “broke in” probably means ________ in the passage. A．打断 B．拒绝 C．畏惧 D．同意 32．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Being a good listener makes you a good talker. B．Listening to people isn’t something easy to learn. C．Most listeners are too shy to show themselves. D．Sometimes a loving silence does a better job than beautiful words. 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 《（寒假巩固作业）Unit1-8阅读单选精练-2025-2026学年英语八年级上册人教版》参考答案 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 C D B A C A C B B D 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 C A C B C D C B A C 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 C D C A C B B D C B 题号 31 32 答案 A D 1．C 2．D 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文记录了露西和父母为期三天的北京之旅，包括游览天安门广场、长城、故宫及北海公园等经历，展现了假期的充实与快乐。 1．细节理解题。根据“My parents and I went to Tian’anmen Square...
