2026年秋季外研版八年级上 话题阅读与完形填空练习 Unit 2 Getting along 阅读理解（四篇） Passage 1 记叙文 · 生活故事 The Pottery Class Lesson I used to think I was good at getting along with people. I knew how to communicate and I always tried to be helpful. But I realised I still had a lot to learn when I took a pottery (陶艺) class. In class, the teacher asked us to shape the clay (黏土) into a flower. I happily started to work. Soon I noticed that my classmate Adam was still playing with his clay. "Hey, we are expected to make a flower now," I said. He looked at me and stayed silent. I worried he wouldn't have enough time to finish, so I made another flower. "Here," I said. "You can use this if you want to catch up." "Do you always tell everyone what to do?" he shouted angrily. My face turned red. I was just trying to help! In the next class, Adam was making a tiger. He saw me looking and glared at me. "Are you planning to tell me how to do this, too?" I didn't know what to say. I was trying to be friendly, but he misunderstood me. I felt sad and almost cried. Later, I learned that Adam had been in a very competitive pottery class before, where everyone just tried to outdo each other. He thought I was showing off, not helping. I felt sorry for what I had done. I learned that helping is good, but giving others enough space is just as important. Getting along with people means understanding their feelings, not just offering help your own way. 1. What did the teacher ask the students to do in the pottery class? A. To make a clay tiger. B. To make a clay flower. C. To play with the clay freely. D. To help each other. 2. Why did Adam get angry at the writer? A. Because the writer broke his clay. B.

Let's enjoy two famous poems about friendship from different cultures. To Wang Lun By Li Bai I, Li Bai, sit aboard a ship about to go, When suddenly on shore your farewell songs overflow. However deep the Lake of Peach Blossoms may be, It is not so deep, Oh, Wang Lun, as your love for me. A Time to Talk By Robert Frost When a friend calls to me from the road, And slows his horse to a meaning walk, I don't stand still and look around, On all the hills I haven't hoed, And shout from where I am, "What is it?" No, not as there is a time to talk. I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground, Blade-end up and five feet tall, And plod: I go up to the stone wall, For a friendly visit. Both poems are famous in their cultures, but they tell different stories. Li Bai's poem describes the scene of his friend seeing him off. He compares his friend's love to the deep lake and shows that friendship is even deeper than the water. Robert Frost's poem tells a different message—when a friend comes to visit, we should stop what we are doing and go to talk. Friendship deserves our time and attention. Which poem do you like better? One shows the depth of friendship through a beautiful comparison. The other teaches us that we should always make time for friends. Both remind us that true friendship is one of the most valuable things in life. 6. In Li Bai's poem, the poet compares Wang Lun's love to ______. A. a farewell song B. a ship going away C. the Lake of Peach Blossoms D. the hills he hasn't hoed 7. What does Robert Frost do when his friend calls to him? A. He shouts from where he is. B. He keeps working on the hills. C. He stops his work and goes to talk to his friend. D. He asks his friend to come to him. 8. What is the main difference between the two poems according to the passage? A. One is Chinese and the other is American. B. One is about saying goodbye and the other is about a visit. C. One is longer and the other is shorter. D. One was written long ago and the other is modern. 9. What message does Robert Frost's poem mainly express? A. Work is more important than friends. B. We should always make time for friends. C. Friends should not visit when we are busy. D. It's better to shout than to walk. 10. What do both poems teach us about friendship? A. Friendship is easy to keep. B. Friends should always write poems for each other. C. True friendship is very valuable. D. Friends should only meet in beautiful places. Passage 3 说明文 · 交往建议 Secrets to Getting Along With Others Many people want to know the secret to getting along with others. The answer is simpler than you might think. Here are some useful tips. Be a good listener. When your friends talk to you, listen carefully. Don't interrupt or look at your phone. Sometimes, people just need someone to hear them out. Good listening shows that you care about what they have to say. Be understanding. Try to understand how your friends feel. If they are sad, comfort them. If they are happy, celebrate with them. Putting yourself in others' shoes helps you see things from their perspective and makes your relationship stronger. Be honest. Always tell the truth, even when it's difficult. Honesty builds trust in a relationship. If you make a mistake, admit it. If you have a problem with a friend, talk about it openly. True friends can handle the truth. Be willing to compromise (妥协). Sometimes you need to give up a little to keep the friendship going. Maybe you want to watch one movie but your friend wants another—you can take turns choosing. Small compromises show that you value the relationship more than being right. Show appreciation (感激). Never forget to say "thank you." A simple thank you can make a big difference to someone's day. When your friends do something nice for you, let them know you notice and you care. Remember, good relationships don't just happen—they take effort. But the reward of having true friends is worth every bit of that effort. 11. What should you do when your friends talk to you according to the passage? A. Look at your phone. B. Interrupt them often. C. Listen carefully to them. D. Give them advice immediately. 12. What does "putting yourself in others' shoes" mean in Paragraph 3? A. Wearing someone else's shoes. B. Understanding how others feel. C. Asking others to change their shoes. D. Telling others what to do. 13. Why is honesty important in a relationship? A. It makes people laugh. B. It builds trust. C. It helps people win arguments. D. It makes people more popular. 14. What does the writer say about compromise? A. It means you should always give up. B. It shows you value the relationship. C. It is a sign of weakness. D. It is not necessary in good friendships. 15. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To tell a story about friendship. B. To give advice on getting along with others. C. To compare different types of friends. D. To describe a famous friendship. Passage 4 记叙文 · 传统故事 Six Chi Away, But Closer Together During the Qing Dynasty, there lived two families in a small town—the Zhang family and the Wu family. Their houses stood side by side, with only a narrow path between them. One year, the Zhang family decided to build a new wall around their house. They wanted to make it two chi (尺) wider so that their courtyard would be bigger. But this would take away space from the path that the Wu family also used. The Wu family was angry and refused to agree. The two families argued for days, and neither would give in. The Zhang family wrote a letter to a relative who was a high official in the capital, hoping he would use his power to help them. But the official wrote back with a poem: "A letter from home, just for a wall, Why not let go and give three chi in all? The Great Wall still stands tall and grand, But where is the emperor who once ruled the land?" Reading this, the head of the Zhang family felt ashamed. He told his family to pull back not just two chi, but three chi from the original line. Seeing this, the Wu family was touched. They also pulled back three chi. The path between them became a six-chi-wide lane, and from then on, the two families lived in peace and friendship. The story of the "Six Chi Lane" has been told for generations. It teaches us that sometimes, giving in a little can bring people closer. When we are willing to compromise and understand others, we build stronger relationships. True strength is not about winning—it's about keeping peace and friendship. 16. Why did the Zhang family and Wu family argue? A. They argued about who should build the wall first. B. The Zhang family wanted to build a wall that would take the Wu family's space. C. They argued about who was richer. D. The Wu family wanted to knock down the Zhang family's wall. 17. What did the Zhang family's relative write in his reply? A. He told them to fight harder. B. He sent them money to buy more land. C. He wrote a poem suggesting they give in. D. He said he would come to help them. 18. How did the head of the Zhang family feel after reading the poem? A. Angry. B. Proud. C. Ashamed and thoughtful. D. Confused. 19. What did both families finally do? A. They moved to different towns. B. They each pulled back three chi from the original line. C. They took the matter to court. D. They built a high wall between their houses. 20. What is the main lesson of the "Six Chi Lane" story? A. Winning an argument is the most important thing. B. It is better to build high walls between neighbours. C. Giving in a little can bring people closer together. D. Only powerful people can solve problems. 完形填空（两篇） Cloze Test 1 My First Day at a New School I'll never forget that morning. It was cold and snowy outside.

He did not want children to play in his garden. He built a high wall and closed the gate. Whenever children came near, he would 2 loudly to drive them away. The garden soon lost its lively colour. The giant felt cold and lonely all the time. He feared spring would never return. One morning, he found a small 3 in the wall. Some children went inside through it. At once, flowers came out again. The giant watched quietly. He was 4 of himself. He decided to tear down the wall. He hoped to reach an agreement with the children. From then on, he offered kids a warm place to play. He learned to 5 others and understood: sharing brings happiness, not sadness. The giant's story teaches us an important lesson about getting along with others. When we are selfish, we keep others out—and we also keep happiness out. But when we open our hearts and 6 what we have, we find that giving actually makes us richer. True joy comes not from keeping things to ourselves, but from 7 them with others. That is why, in good relationships, people don't just take—they also give. They don't just ask for help—they also offer it. They don't just talk about themselves—they also 8 to others. The giant learned this the hard way, but in the end, he found something more valuable than his garden: he found 9 . And that is a lesson we can all learn from, whether we are giants in a fairy tale or 10 people in the real world. 1. A. kind B. generous C. selfish D. friendly 2.
