八年级英语名著《汤姆·索亚历险记》阅读专项练习 一、阅读理解（5篇，每篇5题，） Passage 1 Tom Sawyer’s Saturday began with a heavy sigh. His aunt Polly had given him a task that seemed impossible: to paint the long, wooden fence around the house. The sun was shining brightly, and Tom could hear the laughter of other boys outside, playing baseball and flying kites. He stared at the fence, feeling bitter. “This is the worst day ever,” he muttered to himself. He dipped his brush in the paint and made a small, slow stroke. It would take him all day to finish, and he would miss every bit of fun. Just then, Ben Rogers walked by, eating an apple and whistling. He stopped when he saw Tom. “Hey, Tom! What are you doing? You’re not playing today?” Ben asked, grinning. Tom froze for a second, then a clever idea popped into his head. He didn’t look up from the fence. Instead, he continued painting slowly, as if he were doing something very important. “Painting?” he said casually. “Oh, it’s not just painting. This fence has to be done just right. I don’t think many boys could do it well.” Ben raised an eyebrow. “Really? I could do it! Let me try!” Tom shook his head. “I don’t know, Ben. Aunt Polly is very particular about this fence. She said only the best painter can touch it.” Ben begged and begged. Finally, Tom pretended to give in. “All right, but be careful.” Ben handed Tom his apple and grabbed the brush. Soon, other boys came by—Joe Harper, Billy Fisher, and more. Each one wanted to paint the fence, and each one gave Tom a gift: marbles, a toy soldier, a kite, even a piece of cake. By the end of the afternoon, the fence was painted three times, and Tom had a pile of treasures. He sat under a tree, eating Ben’s apple, and thought, “Being clever is better than working hard!” ( )1. Why did Tom feel bitter at the beginning? A. He had no friends to play with. B.

Passage 2 When Tom Sawyer walked into school on Monday morning, he noticed a new face immediately. A girl with bright blue eyes, golden curly hair, and a pink dress was sitting in the back row. She was the daughter of Judge Thatcher, who had just moved to St. Petersburg. Tom forgot all about his usual pranks and stared at her. He thought she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. During recess, Tom tried to get her attention, but he was too nervous to talk to her directly. Instead, he climbed a fence, fell off on purpose, and pretended to be hurt. The other boys laughed, but Becky Thatcher just looked at him and smiled. Tom’s heart raced. He walked over to her, his face red. “Hi,” he said awkwardly. “I’m Tom Sawyer. What’s your name?” “Becky,” she replied softly. Tom wanted to impress her, so he pulled out a box of colorful marbles and a small toy knife. “These are mine. I can show you how to play marbles,” he said. Becky shook her head. “I don’t know how to play, but thank you.” Tom thought for a minute, then he remembered a book of fairy tales he had. “I have a fairy tale book. I can read it to you after school,” he offered. Becky’s eyes lit up. “I love fairy tales!” she said. After school, they sat on a bench by the river. Tom read to her, and Becky listened carefully. They talked about their favorite stories, their families, and their dreams. Tom told her he wanted to be a pirate, and Becky said she wanted to be a princess. As the sun set, Becky’s nurse called her home. “I had a great time,” Becky said to Tom. “Me too,” Tom replied.

They carried a dead cat and a lantern, heading for the graveyard on the edge of St. Petersburg. Their plan was to perform a “magic trick” that Huck had heard about—they believed the dead cat would help them get rid of warts. The graveyard was dark and quiet, with only the sound of crickets and the rustle of leaves. The boys hid behind a large tombstone, their hearts beating fast. Suddenly, they saw three men walking towards them. The first was Muff Potter, a poor drunkard who often did odd jobs in town. The second was Dr. Robinson, a rich doctor. The third was Injun Joe, a tall, silent man with a scar on his face. The boys held their breath. They heard Dr. Robinson argue with Injun Joe about money. “You promised me more!” Injun Joe shouted angrily. A fight broke out. Dr. Robinson pushed Muff Potter to the ground, and Muff fell unconscious. Then, Injun Joe grabbed a knife from the doctor’s hand and stabbed him. Dr. Robinson fell to the ground, dead. Injun Joe looked around, saw Muff Potter’s knife nearby, and placed it in Muff’s hand. When Muff woke up, he saw the knife and the dead doctor. “I… I did this?” he whispered, terrified. Injun Joe said, “Yes, Muff. You killed him in a fight.” Tom and Huck were so scared that they ran out of the graveyard as fast as they could. When they reached a safe place, they stopped to catch their breath. “We saw a murder!” Huck said, shaking. “We have to promise never to tell anyone,” Tom said. “Injun Joe will kill us if we do.” They made a blood oath, swearing to keep the secret forever.

Passage 4 Weeks after the graveyard incident, Tom Sawyer was tired of his life. He was bored with school, annoyed by Aunt Polly’s rules, and haunted by the secret of the murder. One day, he sat by the river with Joe Harper and Huck Finn. “I wish I could leave this town forever,” Tom said. “Me too,” Joe replied. “My mom scolds me all the time.” Huck nodded. “I have no family. I don’t belong here.” Tom’s eyes lit up. “Let’s be pirates!” he shouted. “We’ll go to Jackson’s Island. It’s far away, and no one will find us. We’ll live like kings!” Joe and Huck loved the idea. That night, they packed some bread, bacon, and a few tools. They stole a small boat and rowed to Jackson’s Island, a wild, uninhabited place in the middle of the river. The next morning, they woke up to the sound of birds singing. The island was beautiful—there were tall trees, green grass, and a clean river. They built a campfire, caught fish with their hands, and cooked bacon on the fire. They swam in the river all day, climbed trees, and explored every corner of the island. They didn’t have to go to school, do homework, or listen to adults. For the first time in their lives, they felt truly free. Meanwhile, back in St. Petersburg, everyone thought the boys were dead. A search party looked for them everywhere, but found nothing. Aunt Polly cried every day, and Becky Thatcher was heartbroken. On the third day, the boys decided to go back. They hid in the church during their own funeral, surprising everyone. But for those three days on Jackson’s Island, they were the happiest pirates in the world. ( )1.

The highlight of the day was a trip to McDougal’s Cave, a huge, dark cave with hundreds of winding paths and hidden rooms. The children explored the cave for hours, laughing and shouting. Tom and Becky wandered off from the group, curious to see a “secret room” that Tom had heard about from a local fisherman. They walked deeper and deeper into the cave, admiring the strange rock formations and dripping water that glistened like diamonds in their candlelight. But when they tried to retrace their steps an hour later, they realized they were completely lost. The cave was pitch-black in the areas where their candles didn’t reach, and the winding paths all looked identical. Becky burst into tears, clutching Tom’s arm tightly. “Don’t worry, Becky,” Tom said, his voice steady even though his heart was racing. “We’ll find a way out. I promise.” He shared his last piece of bread with her and kept exploring new paths, calling out for the picnic group every few minutes. On the third day of being lost, their candles burned out completely. In the total darkness, Tom felt his way along the cave walls until his hand touched a small, damp hole in the rock. He crawled through it and found a narrow stream flowing steadily. Remembering that water always leads to the outside, he guided Becky along the stream. After walking for what felt like hours, they saw a faint glimmer of sunlight—it was the cave’s hidden exit! As they stumbled out into the daylight, Tom noticed a rusted iron box half-buried behind a large boulder near the exit. He pried it open with a rock and gasped—inside were hundreds of gold coins, silver rings, and precious jewels, the stolen treasure that Injun Joe had hidden in the cave years before. Tom and Becky were soon rescued by a search party, and the treasure made Tom an instant hero in St. Petersburg. ( )1. Why did Tom and Becky go to McDougal’s Cave? A.

One sunny Saturday, Aunt Polly assigned him to paint the 30-yard wooden fence, threatening to punish him if it wasn’t perfect by dinner. Tom stared at the task, dreading the lost playtime. When Ben Rogers passed by with a crisp apple, Tom hatched his plan. He painted slowly, his face full of concentration, making Ben believe the job was a rare honor. Ben begged for a turn, trading his apple for the brush. Soon, Joe Harper arrived with a pocket knife, and Billy Fisher brought a kite—each boy eager to “earn” the chance to paint. By late afternoon, the fence had three coats of paint, and Tom sat under an oak tree, surrounded by toys and treats. Aunt Polly arrived, shocked by the flawless work, and gave Tom a slice of her famous cherry pie as a reward. Tom never revealed his trick, grinning as he enjoyed his well-earned prize. 1.

One Wednesday, Becky left her brand-new spelling book on her desk before recess. Tom, hoping to impress her, snuck over and tucked a red clover flower inside the cover. But in his hurry to close the book, he tore a page from the middle of the lesson on “irregular verbs”—Becky’s favorite section. When Becky returned, she saw the torn page and the flower, and immediately thought Tom had ruined her book on purpose. She refused to speak to him, even when he tried to apologize with a bag of lemon drops. For a week, they avoided each other in school and on the playground. Then, on Friday, a stray dog chased Becky near the school gate. Tom jumped in front of her, waving a stick and scaring the dog away. Becky’s anger melted, and she accepted his apology, giving him a piece of her homemade candy in return. 1.

After the graveyard murder, Muff—an innocent drunkard—was arrested and locked in the town jail. Tom Sawyer struggled daily with guilt; he knew Injun Joe was the real killer, but the blood oath he made with Huck Finn kept him silent. The trial lasted three days. Injun Joe took the stand, lying smoothly about Muff attacking Dr. Robinson in a drunken rage. The judge and jury seemed ready to convict Muff, and the courtroom fell silent as the judge prepared to announce the sentence. Just then, Tom stood up, his voice shaking but clear, and told the court everything he and Huck had seen that night. Injun Joe’s face turned white, and he jumped out a window, fleeing the town. The jury immediately declared Muff innocent, and the crowd cheered. Muff hugged Tom, tears of gratitude in his eyes, and later gave Tom a handmade wooden whistle as a thank-you gift. 1.

After rowing across the river at midnight, they landed on the island’s northern shore and built a camp under a stand of pine trees. They spent their days exploring the island’s hidden coves, swimming in the calm river, and fishing for catfish with homemade lines. For dinner, they cooked bacon over an open fire and ate bread they’d brought from home, laughing as they told stories about their “pirate adventures”. On the second night, they climbed to the top of a hill and watched a search boat glide along the river, its lantern bobbing in the dark—they realized the town thought they were dead. A twinge of sadness hit them, but they quickly shook it off, determined to enjoy their freedom. On the third morning, they heard the church bell tolling for their funeral. Overcome with longing for their families, they rowed back to town and hid in the church’s balcony, surprising everyone when they stepped out during the service. 1.

After escaping McDougal’s Cave with Becky, Tom remembered the rusted iron box he’d seen near the exit. The next day, he returned with Huck, and together they dug up the box. Inside were 1,200 gold coins, a handful of diamond rings, a silver necklace, and a small gold watch—worth thousands of dollars in 1876. Tom immediately decided to split the treasure evenly with Huck, who had always lived in poverty with no one to care for him. Aunt Polly was stunned by the find, and Judge Thatcher—grateful for Tom saving Becky—arranged for Huck to live with the Widow Douglas, who promised to care for him. The town of St. Petersburg celebrated Tom as a hero, and the local newspaper printed a story about his adventure. A week later, a search party found Injun Joe’s body in the cave, trapped by a fallen rock—he had starved to death after being unable to find the exit. 1.
