人教版新教材八年级英语下册期中考试阅读专项训练 这份阅读专项训练包含三部分内容，第一部分为阅读理解，第二部分为完形填空，第三部分为阅读填空，旨在提高学生的阅读理解能力，请认真答题。 第一部分 阅读理解 A When I was small, my mum always told me,“I just want you to be happy.” But what exactly is happiness? Is it a place, or a never-ending journey? Is happiness on social media? It sure seems that way. People love sharing perfect pictures online. But going through posts on the Internet sometimes can actually make you feel worse about your life. They mislead people into thinking that others are better off.    ▲     Also, a study shows people spending over two hours daily on social media are twice as likely to feel lonely. But what if we're the ones posting? When we share a happy moment, we get excited, but after a while, we return to feeling the same as before. Happiness only lasts for so long, and when it ends, we set out looking for new happiness. And social media has made this search harder than ever. Happily, there's still hope for us to find lasting happiness. This happens when we allow ourselves to feel and deal with emotions like anger, disappointment, fear and sadness. It's not easy, but when we are honest about our experiences, we build deeper and more meaningful connections with others. And those friendships bring us smiles that last much longer than any number of “likes” on a screen! March 20th is World Happiness Day. Take it as a reminder that trying to be happy all the time is like trying to catch a unicorn(独角兽)-it's just not going to happen. Instead, focus on your own journey and accept different emotions you'll feel along the way. 1.Which of the following can be put in “   ▲    ”? A. In this way, people can know more about others. B. In fact, using social media too much causes low spirits. C. Instead, people will take it seriously. D. In addition, social media opens people's eyes. 2.Which of the following best describes the change of people's feelings in Paragraph 3? A. B. C. D. 3.Which person below might get lasting happiness in life according to Paragraph 4? A. Ava uses social media for over two hours a day. B. Bella usually shows off her life on the Internet. C. Chris loves posting pictures on the Internet. D. David controls his emotions calmly when he's angry. 4.Why does the writer mention World Happiness Day? A. To introduce a special day in March. B. To show the importance of being happy every day. C. To remind people to accept different emotions on the way to happiness. D. To encourage people to spend more time on social media on that day. 5.What would be the best title for the passage? A. The True Meaning of Social Media B. Happiness on Social Media C. The Search for True Happiness D. The Journey to World Happiness Day B Do you want a pet at home? Parents don't want a pet at home for a number of reasons. However,there are a lot of good sides of keeping a pet too. Before you ask for keeping a pet, plan out your words and actions with the following steps. First, look for information about how to look after the kind of pet you want. Read some books, search online, or ask friends who have pets and know the information. Does it need lots of outdoor space? What about its eating habits?      ▲      The more you know about the pet, the more likely your parents will agree. What's more, your parents need time to think about it and it may take a week or longer. If they refuse, don't urge them. Keep silent about it for a few days. Changing your talking ways helps a lot. For example, change your words “Mum/Dad, a cat is so cute” into “Cats are easier to look after than dogs. They are smaller and won't smell bad in the house”. Act like a mature (成熟的) one at home. Finish your homework carefully in time, do chores as possible as you can, and keep the house clean. Last but not least, find out the reason why they don't let you have a pet. You may have an answer to their worry. Is it because there isn't enough space? Start a clean-up! Follow these steps, show your responsibility, and your parents might say yes-then you'll have a lovely pet friend. 6.How does the writer begin the passage? A. By giving a number. B. By telling a story. C. By asking a question. D. By showing a saying. 7.Which sentence is the best for “     ▲     ” ? A. How long has it lived in the zoo? B. How much water does it need a day? C. How often do you talk to your parents? D. How many pets does your friend have? 8.What does the underlined word “urge” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Push. B. Hurt. C. Compare. D. Understand. 9.Who is the most likely to get a “yes” from parents about keeping pets? A. Zoe-her parents are not happy about her messy room. B. Sandy-her parents never worry about her schoolwork. C. Jane-she is so lazy that she never does any housework. D. Tom-he is crazy about searching on the Internet after class. 10.Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Good Points of Having a Pet B. Ways to Look After Pets Well C. Pets and People Around the World D. Steps of Letting Parents Agree to Keep a Pet 第二部分 完形填空 A A Tent with Wheels My family went on a road trip last summer. It was a great adventure(冒险).

We      (4)      outside on lawn chairs(草坪椅) to have the soup or eggs that Mum made. One of our      (5)      times was sitting around the campfire under the starry sky. Everyone was laughing, especially when Dad told jokes, and Mum sang songs with nature's sounds. We also played cards and talked about past trips, dreaming of future adventures. It was really comfortable and brought us closer as a family, giving us      (6)      and we'll always remember them. Bedtimes were      (7)     . We put out the campfire. Then we washed up in the sink and went to bed. My sister and I shared a      (8)      on one side of the trailer. Our parents slept in the bed on the other side.

Jeff      (15)      him, "There is no need to throw it. We can add a little more sugar. It'll be      (16)     ." "This is the gift I want you to understand. Compare this      (17)      with your life. The salt in juice is like      (18)      experiences in our life. To make juice nicer than before, we just need to add some sugar.

But      (1)      group in the UK wants people to stop cutting grass during this month. They hope      (2)      (protect) wild plants and insects in gardens. The “No Mow May” project      (3)      (help) flowers grow freely and gives insects like bees safe places to live. Bees are very important      (4)      they help plants grow by moving pollen（花粉）between flowers. Cutting grass too often leaves fewer flowers for bees to do their job. The group also asks people to check what grows in their gardens. In 2021, people found over 250 kinds of plants in their lawns, including many wild      (5)      (strawberry). They were really      (6)      (surprise) by the beautiful colors appearing in their uncut grass. Wild gardens can bring people happiness.      (7)      tidy gardens look nice, cutting grass too often does harm to nature. Letting gardens grow wild helps people get closer      (8)      nature. A natural garden might make      (9)      (we) feel like we're walking in a forest instead of our backyard! So this May, why not try “No Mow May”? Give nature a little help and see      (10)      happens next! B One of the best parts of autumn is its beautiful colors. Usually green leaves turn   (11)   red, orange, yellow, and finally brown. This is a   (12)   (nature) phenomenon (现象). It is called “leaf phenology(叶片物候)”too. However, because of the   (13)  (change) climate, autumn is changing. According to a study, the season length is   (14)   (grow), meaning that it is taking longer for leaves to change their colors.   (15)   this is not the only way that climate change is destroying the season. “Trees are holding on to their leaves longer,” explained Dr Howard.“In my own neighbourhood, I'm curious   (16)   (find) that the leaves would drop a lot sooner 20 years ago than they do now.” Climate change isn't only causing   (17)    leaves to change later. We can also expect later frosts(霜) according to Dr Michael. Michael said,“That means pests(害虫) will be active for a longer time in autumn, causing a greater health   (18)   (risky) to human beings.” If there is no good news at all, though, we may be able to avoid this   (19)   (develop). Michael said that if humans control their carbon dioxide emissions(二氧化碳排放),they can still stop the worst effects of climate change.“A new study   (20)   (recent) shows that warming will likely stop after carbon emissions reach zero,” Michael said. 答案 第一部分 阅读理解 1~5.B、B、D、C、C 6~10.C、B、A、B、D 第二部分 完形填空 1~10.B、A、C、D、C、B、B、A、C、A 11~20.D、B、A、C、A、C、B、A、C、B 第三部分 阅读填空 1.a 2.to protect 3.helps 4.because 5.strawberries 6.surprised 7.Although/Though 8.to 9.us 10.what 11.into 12.natural 13.changeable 14.growing 15.And 16.to find 17.the 18.risk 19.development 20.recently 第1页，共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
