Unit 5 Nature's Temper 阅读理解和完形填空 专项练 2025-2026学年下学期初中英语人教版（2024）八年级下册 一、阅读理解 My name is Jake, and I will never forget the summer I turned thirteen. It wasn’t because of a fun birthday party, but because of the great flood that hit our small town. It started with heavy rain. For two days, the sky was dark grey, and the rain just wouldn’t stop. My parents looked worried. The news on the radio warned about a big storm and possible flooding. We lived near a small river, which was usually peaceful.    On the third night, the electricity went out, leaving us in complete darkness. Dad lit some candles. “The river is rising too fast,” he said, his voice serious. “We need to go to the second floor. Now.”    We hurried upstairs, carrying blankets, water, and a flashlight. From the window, it was scary to see our quiet street turn into a moving river. Our car was almost completely under water.    The next morning, the rain finally stopped. We looked outside. Our garden was gone, covered in thick, brown mud（泥）. Broken branches and rubbish were everywhere. It was a sad sight.    But then, something amazing happened. People started coming out of their houses. Everyone was tired and dirty, but they began to help each other. Mr. Evans from next door used his boat to check on elderly people. My dad and other men worked together to move a big fallen tree from the road. My mom and I helped at the community centre, giving out sandwiches and clean water to those who lost their homes. Now, when it rains heavily, I still feel a little nervous. But I also remember that we rebuilt our town, and we rebuilt it together. 1．Why will Jake never forget the summer he turned thirteen?

Why do you seem to learn faster in some classes while more slowly in others? One reason you may not know is that people have different types (类型). Scientists say there are three different learning types: Visual (视觉型), Auditory (听觉型) and Kinesthetic (动觉型). Visual learners learn best by seeing. If you seem to easily remember information from pictures, graphs (图表) and videos, you are probably a visual learner. You’re not good at copying down what the teacher says in class. Never mind. You can draw graphs or pictures instead, if you find that works better for you. Auditory learners learn best by hearing. If you seem to easily remember things by hearing them, then you are probably an auditory learner. You must listen carefully while the teacher is speaking because it’s the easiest way for you to learn. Sometimes you may find that taking notes stops you from listening carefully. After class, you can write down what you remember or borrow your friend’s notes to copy. Kinesthetic learners learn best by doing. If you seem to learn best by working with your hands, you are probably a kinesthetic learner. Taking notes by writing can make you pay close attention to information as you receive it. Of course, you can learn best by making full use of labs or other class activities. Hope you learn better by knowing what your personal learning type is. 6．There are ________ different learning types according to the passage. A．two B．three C．four D．five 7．Jude can remember the words of a song quickly by listening to it once or twice. She might be a/an ________ according to the passage. A．auditory learner B．visual learner C．strange learner D．usual learner 8．Kinesthetic learners learn best by ________. A．remembering information from videos B．listening to teachers in class C．drawing graphs or pictures D．doing things with their hands 9．If you are a visual learner, which way helps you learn best? A．Listening to the teacher’s words carefully. B．Drawing graphs or pictures to remember information. C．Taking notes while the teacher is speaking. D．Doing hands-on activities in labs. 10．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How to take good notes in class. B．Why people have different study habits. C．Three types of learning and how to learn best for each. D．The importance of listening carefully in class. 11．What is safe to use during a thunderstorm? A．Radios. B．Corded telephones. C．Computers. D．Mobile phones. 12．What should we do first during a thunderstorm? A．Find a safe shelter. B．Power off mobile phones. C．Protect ears from loud thunder. D．Stay away from metal objects. 13．Which of the following is the best shelter during a thunderstorm? A．A tall tree in an open field. B．A small tent on the grass. C．A closed-window car. D．A bus stop with a metal roof. 14．A family camping in an open area meets a thunderstorm. What should they do? A．Stand together under the tallest tree. B．Crouch low with their heels together. C．Keep their feet touching the ground. D．Stay out and lie down on the ground. 15．Where might we read this passage? A．On a weather website. B．In a travel magazine. C．In a sports newspaper. D．In a museum guidebook. Can animals predict earthquakes? This question has interested scientists for a long time. Many stories from around the world suggest that animals act strangely before an earthquake hits. One famous example happened in China in 1975. In the city of Haicheng, people noticed many animals behaving unusually. Snakes came out of their holes in the middle of winter. Normally, snakes hibernate (冬眠) during cold weather, so this was very strange. Chickens refused to go into their coops (鸡笼). Dogs barked for no reason. Cows and horses seemed nervous and tried to break free from their fences. Because of these signs, the government ordered people to leave their homes. Just hours later, a huge earthquake struck the city. Many buildings fell down, but most people were safe because they had already moved outside. This event made people believe that animals really can sense when a disaster is coming. Scientists have several ideas about how animals might do this. Some think animals can feel small shaking in the ground that humans cannot feel. Others believe animals can sense changes in the air or in gases that come out of the ground before an earthquake. Animals also have much better hearing than humans, so they might hear sounds that we cannot hear. However, not all scientists agree that animals can predict earthquakes. They say that animals act strangely for many different reasons. Sometimes what looks like a warning sign is just normal animal behavior. More research is needed to understand this mystery. 16．What is the right order of what happened in Haicheng in 1975? a. A huge earthquake struck the city. b. People noticed animals behaving strangely. c. The government ordered people to leave their homes. A．a-b-c B．b-c-a C．c-a-b D．b-a-c 17．Why do some scientists think animals can sense earthquakes? A．Animals are smarter than humans. B．Animals can feel small shaking or sense changes in gases. C．Animals always act strangely for no reason. D．Animals have lived on Earth for a long time. 18．How does the writer support the main idea of paragraph 4? A．By telling a story. B．By giving numbers. C．By explaining reasons. D．By asking questions. 19．In which part of a newspaper can you probably read the text? A．Sports News. B．Science & Nature. C．Health & Life. D．Travel & Culture. 20．What can be the best title for the text? A．The Haicheng Earthquake B．How to Protect Yourself in an Earthquake C．Can Animals Predict Earthquakes? D．Strange Animal Behavior 二、完形填空 One evening, Leo was at home with his grandmother. Rain had been falling heavily for hours. Suddenly, Leo 21 that the water was rising quickly outside their window.

Now.’”，可知停电后Jake一家去了二楼。 3．第6段提到“the rain finally stopped...People started coming out of their houses...they began to help each other”，可知雨停后人们互相帮助重建小镇。 4．第6段提到“My mom and I helped at the community centre”，可知Jake的妈妈在社区中心提供帮助。 5．全文围绕Jake经历的洪水，以及洪水后社区居民互帮互助的善意展开，“Jake’s experience of the flood and the community’s kindness”最能概括主旨。 6．B 7．A 8．D 9．B 10．C 本文介绍了三种不同的学习类型（视觉型、听觉型、动觉型），并说明了每种类型的学习特点与对应的最佳学习方式。 6．第一段提到：“Scientists say there are three different learning types: Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic”，说明文中提到的学习类型有3种。 7．第三段指出：“Auditory learners learn best by hearing”，Jude通过听歌曲快速记歌词，符合听觉型学习者的特点。 8．第四段提到：“Kinesthetic learners learn best by doing...by working with your hands”，可知动觉型学习者通过动手实践学习效果最好。 9．第二段提到视觉型学习者：“learn best by seeing...draw graphs or pictures to remember information”，因此画图记信息是最适合的方式。 10．全文围绕“三种学习类型及每种类型的最佳学习方式”展开，“Three types of learning and how to learn best for each”最能概括文章主旨。 11．D 12．A 13．C 14．B 15．A 本文主要介绍了雷暴天气中应对雷电的安全防护知识，详细说明了遭遇雷电时的正确做法。 11．文章左侧部分“Stay off corded telephones, computers and radios except mobile phones.”表明雷暴天气中，手机是安全的使用设备，收音机、有线电话、电脑均不安全。 12．文章左侧部分“SEEK SHELTER FIRST”表明雷暴天气中，首要做法是寻找安全的庇护所。 13．文章左侧部分“Move to a building or a car with windows closed.”表明关闭车窗的汽车是雷暴天气中合适的庇护所，而大树、小帐篷、金属顶公交站均存在安全隐患。 14．文章右侧部分“Crouch down as low as possible.”以及“Keep your heels touching each other.”表明外出露营遭遇雷暴时，应蹲低身体并并拢脚后跟。 15．文章介绍的是雷暴天气的安全防护知识，这类内容通常出现在天气相关的网站上，而非旅游杂志、体育报纸或博物馆指南中。 16．B 17．B 18．C 19．B 20．C 本文是一篇说明文，探讨了动物是否能预测地震的问题，以1975年中国海城地震前动物异常行为为例，并介绍了科学家的不同观点。 16．根据原文第二、三段，事件顺序为：①“Snakes came out... chickens refused...”人们注意到动物行为异常；②“the government ordered people to leave”政府命令居民撤离；③“a huge earthquake struck”地震发生。正确顺序为b-c-a，故选B。 17．第四段“Some think animals can feel small shaking in the ground that humans cannot feel. Others believe animals can sense changes in the air or in gases…”可知一些科学家认为动物可能感觉到人无法察觉的微小震动，另一些科学家则认为它们可以感知空气及地面释放的气体变化。故选B。 18．第四段“…feel small shaking…sense changes in gases…have better hearing”主要列举了科学家关于动物如何感知地震的几种解释，属于解释原因。故选C。 19．文章主题是动物行为与地震预测的科学探讨，属于科学与自然范畴。故选B。 20．文章首句提出问题“Can animals predict earthquakes?”并全文围绕此展开，既包含案例又包含科学解释，故该疑问句最能概括主旨。故选C。 21．B 22．C 23．A 24．C 25．C 26．B 27．A 28．C 29．D 30．B 本文讲述暴雨引发洪水，男孩Leo沉着冷静、运用防灾知识，带着奶奶避险逃生，最终平安获救，被大家称赞为小英雄的故事。 21．句意：突然，Leo注意到窗外的水位正在快速上涨。 根据空格后“the water was rising quickly outside their window”可知，此处是指他发现窗外的水位在上涨，notice“注意到、察觉”符合语境；forgot“忘记”、hoped“希望”、explained“解释”均不符合场景。 22．句意：但她年纪大了、心里害怕，她拒绝离开，说水很快就会停下来。 根据后文“Leo didn’t give up”可知，奶奶一开始不愿意走，refuse“拒绝”符合语境；agreed“同意”、decided“决定”、wanted“想要”均与文意逻辑不符。 23．句意：就在这时，社区的一名守卫前来帮忙。 根据后文“from the neighborhood came to help. He knocked on the door and shouted”可知，险情里上门疏散大家的社区工作人员，guard“守卫、安保”符合身份与场景；teacher “老师”、doctor“医生”、driver“司机”均不符合紧急疏散的设定。 24．句意：Leo牵着奶奶的手，急忙护送她朝楼梯走去。 根据洪水来临的紧急危险背景，rushed“急速带领、护送”贴合紧迫逃生的氛围；pushed “推”、stopped“停下”、carried“背负”均不符合牵手搀扶撤离的动作语境。 25．句意：万幸的是，一位邻居帮忙把他们送上了屋顶。 根据后文成功登上屋顶、脱离低处危险的好结果，thankfully“庆幸地、万幸”符合劫后脱险的感情色彩；sadly“难过地”、unluckily“不幸地”、suddenly“突然地”均不符合此处语境。 26．句意：我只是用到了从电视节目中学到的知识。 根据前文“He remembered a TV program about floods”可知，他运用的是节目里学到的防灾内容，knowledge“知识”符合句意；money“金钱”、time“时间”、luck“运气”均不符合表达。 27．句意：很多人都称他为英雄，因为他没有逃跑，反而留下来照顾奶奶。 根据危难之中临危不乱、守护长辈、救人脱险的行为，hero“英雄”符合他人对他的夸赞评价；student“学生”、reporter“记者”、guard“守卫”均不符合赞美定位。 28．句意：他敏捷冷静的思考，让他们避开了危险。 根据全程Leo保持冷静、理智判断、做出正确逃生安排的表现，thinking“思考、判断力”契合文意；running“奔跑”、crying“哭泣”、shouting“呼喊”均偏离核心品质。 29．句意：我也很害怕，但我没有惊慌失措。 根据前文“he stayed calm”保持冷静的描述，panic“惊慌、慌乱”与之形成对应转折；help“帮忙”、listen“听从”、sleep“睡觉”均和语境无关。 30．句意：洪水摧毁了很多家园，但Leo一家人平安无事。 根据前文他们顺利获救、登上屋顶、等来救援的结局，safe“安全的、平安的”收尾贴合全文；lost“迷失的”、tired“疲惫的”、alone“孤单的”均与最终结果不符。 31．D 32．C 33．A 34．A 35．A 36．C 37．B 38．B 39．B 40．B 本文主要讲述了作者开车去学校接女儿的途中遭遇地震的经历。 31．句意：我永远不会忘记地震发生的那天。 根据最后一段“I had been in an earthquake.”可知，难忘的是作者遭遇地震的一天。earthquake“地震”，符合语境。 32．句意：当时是下午5：15左右，我正沿着一条高架路开车去学校接我女儿。 根据“Our plan was to go swimming together. ”可知，我去学校接女儿一起去游泳，get sb. from school“去学校接某人”，get符合句意。 33．句意：然后我在一家商店稍作停留，去买一些新鲜的水果，因为我们游泳后喜欢吃些水果。 根据下文提到“because we liked to have some fruit after swimming”可知，作者停车去商店买新鲜的水果。fruit“水果”，符合句意。 34．句意：突然，我看到前面的车开始左右摇晃。 我正开车去学校路上，前面的车开始摇晃，是意外发生的情况。suddenly“突然地”，符合语境。 35．句意：然后我的车开始摇晃。 根据上下文，“I saw the cars in front of me start to move from side to side.”可知，地震发生了，我的车也和前面的车一样开始摇晃。began（begin的过去式）“开始”，符合题意。 36．句意：我甚至开得更慢。 根据上下文，“I slowed down.”我看到前面的车摇晃后减慢了速度，自己的车开始摇晃后我开得更慢了，和前面进行比较。slower“更慢地”符合句意。 37．句意：我停下车，就在那一刻，路面塌陷到了我前面的车上。 根据上下文，地震发生了之后，地面开始摇晃并发生塌陷。fell（fall的过去式）“跌落，倒塌”，符合句意。 38．句意：我发现自己处于黑暗中。 根据上下文，地面发生塌陷，车都被陷入地下。find oneself in the dark“发现某人自己处于黑暗中”，found（find）的过去式，符合句意。 39．句意：但在我的下方，我能听到呼喊声和大量嘈杂声。 根据上下文，路面塌陷，只能听见呼喊声和嘈杂声。listen是不及物动词，后面需要加to才能接宾语，排除A。hear“听到”，符合句意。 40．句意：然后我意识到发生了什么。 根据上下文，作者经历了车摇晃，地面塌陷后明白发生地震了。“realized”（realize的过去式）意识到，符合题意。 41．B 42．C 43．D 44．A 45．D 46．A 47．B 48．B 49．D 50．C 本文主要介绍11岁的养蜂女孩Markela因气候变暖和野火频发，意识到自己成为养蜂人的梦想可能难以实现，也面临着和家人一样的安全担忧。 41．句意：她每个周末都会帮爷爷照看蜜蜂。 根据前面的“Markela is also good at keeping bees”可知，Markela很擅长养蜂，因此此处指她每周末帮爷爷照看蜜蜂，用look after。wake up“醒来”、deal with“处理”和search for“寻找”均不符。 42．句意：她梦想成为一名养蜂人，但恶劣的天气让她意识到，她的梦想很难实现。 结合“She dreams of becoming a beekeeper, but the terrible weather”以及常识可知，此处表达的是恶劣天气让她意识到自己的梦想很难实现，用realize。interview“采访”、explain“解释”和develop“发展”均不符。 43．句意：持续的干旱意味着夏天的雨天更少。 根据“means there are fewer rainy days in summer”可知，这里指干旱，用drought。typhoon“台风”、snowstorm“暴风雪”和earthquake“地震”均不符。 44．句意：加上干燥的天气，那里的气温上升到了很高的水平。 本句指气温“上升”到很高的水平，rise表示上升，是不及物动词，后面直接接to a high level。fall“下降”，不符合语境；raise是及物动词，后面要接宾语，故不符；add表示“把A加到B上”，不符合气温上升的用法。 45．句意：去年六月和七月是历史上最热的月份。 根据后面的“The hot and dry weather”可知，这里指天气最热，用hottest。coolest“最凉爽的”、shortest“最短的”和longest“最长的”均不符。 46．句意：灾后几乎没有花朵存活，所以蜂蜜的产量大幅下降。 前半句说“Few flowers survived after the fires”灾后几乎没有花朵存活，后半句说“the amount (数量) of honey fell a lot”蜂蜜的产量大幅下降，前后是因果关系，用连词so。but表示转折，if表示如果，though表示对比。 47．句意：野火也造成了许多其他问题。 根据后一句“Because of the fires, a large number of people lost their houses and even their lives.”可知，野火不仅对养蜂有影响，还造成了其他问题，用caused表示“引起”。accepted“接受”、rescued“营救”和answered“回答，回应”均不符。 48．句意：数千人不得不离开家园，前往更安全的地方。 根据前一句“a large number of people lost their houses and even their lives”可推知，此处指人们去更安全的地方，用safer。darker“更暗的”、quieter“更安静的”和cleaner“更干净的”均不符。 49．句意：然而，他们担心火灾可能会发生在自己身上，因为他们住在离森林很近的地方。 根据“because they live close to the forest”可知，Markela和家人住得离森林很近，因此会担心自己也可能遭遇火灾，用possibly。hardly“几乎不”、actually“实际上”和slowly“缓慢地”均不符。 50．句意：遗憾的是，一份报告指出，像 Markela 这样的孩子将经历比他们祖父母多三倍的气候灾害。 根据后面的“children like Markela will experience three times more climate disasters than their grandparents”可知，这是一份客观数据/研究结论，因此是出自一份报告，用report。postcard“明信片”、rule“规定”和standard“标准”均不符。 51．B 52．D 53．A 54．C 55．A 56．A 57．A 58．B 59．A 60．C 本文主要介绍了作者去年夏天在乡下遇到暴风雨，被困在小屋里。暴风雨过后，他看到树木受损、落叶遍地，便帮忙清理并补种树苗。这次经历让他意识到保护自然的重要性。 51．句意：天空变得昏暗，风开始猛烈地刮起来。 根据“Soon, a heavy rainstorm hit.”可知，暴风雨来之前风会“猛烈地”刮，用strongly。softly“轻柔地”、quietly“安静地”和slowly“缓慢地”均不符。 52．句意：一开始我有点害怕，但后来我冷静了下来。 根据“but then I calmed down”并结合常识可知，暴风雨来的时候作者是“害怕的”，和后面冷静下来形成对比，用scared。excited“兴奋的”、surprised“惊喜的”和happy“开心的”均不符。 53．句意：雷声太大了，震得窗户都在晃动。 make sth. do sth.是固定搭配，意为“使某物做某事”，故填动词原形shake。 54．句意：树木受损，一些树叶散落得到处都是。 结合常识可知，暴风雨过后，树叶会“散落”地上。lying everywhere表示“到处都是”，符合语境。flying“飞”、feeling“感受”和running“跑”均不符。 55．句意：这次经历让我意识到保护自然的重要性。 根据后一句“We should not cut down too many trees.”可知，这次经历让作者意识到保护自然的“重要性”，用importance。difficulty“困难”、trouble“麻烦”和success“成功”均不符。 56．句意：我们应该尽最大努力保护环境。 根据“We should not cut down too many trees.”可知，我们不应该砍太多树，而应该“保护环境”，用protect。destroy“破坏”、pollute“污染”和ignore“忽略”均不符。 57．句意：当我们保护自然时，我们也是在保护我们自己。 主语是we，反身代词用ourselves。 58．句意：我们应该尊重自然界中的每一个生命，比如树木、花朵和动物。 根据“such as trees, flowers and animals”可知，此处指自然界中的每一个“生命”，用life。thing“物品，东西”、person“人”和world“世界”均不符。 59．句意：我相信，如果我们共同努力，我们可以让地球变得更加美丽。 保护环境的目的是让地球变得更“美丽”，用beautiful。ugly“丑陋的”、dirty“脏的”和noisy“吵闹的”均不符。 60．句意：让我们现在就行动起来，保持自然的平衡吧。
