2025-2026 学年沪教版英语八年级下册 Unit 5 阅读理解专项训练 Passage 1: 基础细节题（适合巩固词汇） Topic: The Giant Panda The giant panda is one of the most popular animals in the world. It is also one of the most endangered. There are only about 1,800 giant pandas living in the wild today. Most of them live in the cool, wet bamboo forests of central China. Giant pandas are famous for their black and white fur. They have a round face, a short tail, and a chubby body. An adult panda can weigh about 100 to 150 kilograms. Although they look cute and friendly, they are actually very strong. A panda's daily diet is very special. It eats mainly bamboo. In fact, a giant panda eats up to 30 kilograms of bamboo every day! They spend about 12 hours a day eating because bamboo has very little nutrition. Pandas also need to drink a lot of water, so they usually live near streams. Sadly, giant pandas are in great danger. The main reason is the loss of their habitat. People cut down too many trees to build houses and roads. This leaves pandas with less land to live in and less bamboo to eat. Another reason is that baby pandas are very hard to raise. Thankfully, many organizations are working hard to protect pandas. China has set up many nature reserves to protect their homes. People around the world are also helping to save these lovely animals. Choose the best answer. 1.Where do most giant pandas live? A. In the forests of North America. B.

However, the number of bees is dropping quickly around the world. This is a big problem for all of us. Bees are responsible for pollinating (授粉) about 70% of the world's food crops. Without bees, we would not have apples, strawberries, almonds, or even coffee. Bees work together in a colony. Each bee has a job. Worker bees collect nectar (花蜜) to make honey, while the queen bee lays eggs. Scientists say there are many reasons for the drop in bees. The use of pesticides (杀虫剂) on farms is one of the main causes. Pesticides poison the bees. Another big problem is the loss of flowers. As cities grow and fields become buildings, bees have fewer places to find food. Climate change is also making it harder for bees to survive. What can we do to help the bees? Here are some simple tips. First, we can plant bee-friendly flowers in our gardens or on balconies. Sunflowers and clover are great choices. Second, we should buy organic food to reduce the use of pesticides. Third, we can build a "bee hotel" with hollow stems (空心茎) to give bees a safe place to live. Protecting bees is protecting our future. Every small action counts. Judge the following sentences (T/F) or answer questions. 5. Bees are not important because they only make honey. ( ) 6. If there are no bees, we will have less food to eat. ( ) 7. Which of the following is NOT a reason for the drop in bees? A. Pesticides.B. Loss of flowers.C. Climate change.D. Air pollution. 8.What can we do to help bees? A. Plant more bee-friendly flowers.B. Use more pesticides. C. Cut down more trees.D. Kill bees that sting (叮) people. Passage 3: 综合主旨题（适合冲刺满分） Topic: Protecting Our Wildlife Friends Wild animals are our friends. They make the Earth a beautiful and lively place. However, many wild animals are now facing extinction. Tigers, elephants, rhinos, and turtles are all in great danger. People hunt animals for many reasons. Some hunters kill animals for their fur, bones, or teeth. They sell these parts for a lot of money. This is called poaching (偷猎). Poaching is illegal (非法的), but it still happens because of high demand. Other animals lose their lives because their habitats are destroyed. People clear forests to make space for farms and cities. Without a home, animals cannot survive. We must take action to stop this. Governments should make stricter laws to punish poachers. They should also build more nature reserves for the animals. As for us, we can refuse to buy any products made from endangered animals. We should also tell our friends and family about the importance of wildlife protection. "Take only memories, leave only footprints." This is a famous saying about protecting nature. Let's work together to save our wildlife friends. 1.According to the passage, what is the main reason for animals' extinction? A. Natural disasters.B. Poaching and habitat loss. C. Too much food.D. New diseases. 2.What does the phrase "Take only memories, leave only footprints" mean? A. We should take photos of animals. B. We should hunt animals for fun. C. We should respect nature and take nothing away. D. We should build more roads in forests. 答案与解析 Passage 1 解析 1.B解析： 由第一段第三句 "Most of them live in the cool, wet bamboo forests of central China." 可知。 2.B解析： 由第三段第四句 "In fact, a giant panda eats up to 30 kilograms of bamboo every day!" 可知。 3.C解析： 由第四段可知，熊猫濒危的主要原因是栖息地丧失（loss of their habitat）和幼崽难存活（low birth rates）。 4.B解析： 语境推断法。熊猫每天吃 30 公斤竹子，但仍然需要花大量时间进食，推测是因为 "营养" 成分少。 Passage 2 解析 1.F解析： 由第二段第一句 "Bees are amazing insects. They play a very important role..." 可知蜜蜂非常重要，不仅是酿蜜。 2.T解析： 由第二段第二句 "Without bees, we would not have apples..." 可知。 3.D解析： 细节排除法。第三段提到了 Pesticides, loss of flowers, climate change，没有提到 Air pollution。 4.A解析： 由第四段第二句 "we can plant bee-friendly flowers" 可知。 Passage 3 解析 1.B解析： 主旨概括题。第三段主要讲了两个原因：People hunt animals (Poaching) 和 habitats are destroyed (habitat loss)。 2.C解析： 句意理解题。这是一句环保谚语，意为 “只带走回忆，只留下脚印”，倡导的是尊重自然，不从自然中过度索取。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
