That means more time and energy will have to be  put into domestic work.” 结合上下文，三孩政策背景下，家庭需要在 “家务” 上投入更多时间和精力，故“domestic”应表示“家庭的”。故选B。 30．主旨大意题。文章先纠正对家庭主妇的误解，阐述其压力与重要性，最后点明“家庭需要更多关心家庭主妇”。核心目的是呼吁人们关爱家庭主妇，对应选项 B。故选B。 （7） 31．B 32．D 33．B 34．B 35．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，通过Sally、Lisa、Jason 和David四位学生的自述，分别介绍了善于倾听、乐于助人、外向开朗和勤奋努力四种个人品质。 【详解】31．细节理解题。根据Sally部分“I look at people’s eyes when I’m talking with them.”可推知Sally与人交谈时注视对方眼睛。 32．细节理解题。根据David部分“I always believe that the harder I work, the luckier I am.”可推知David相信努力带来成功。 33．细节理解题。根据Lisa部分“Sam missed many classes because he was in hospital for weeks.”可推知Sam缺课是因为住院。 34．细节理解题。根据Jason部分“I am an outgoing person, so I like to make lots of friends.”可推知Jason喜欢交很多朋友。 35．推理判断题。根据文章开头“Some students are talking about their personalities”及文中“schoolwork”、“grades”等校园词汇可推知文章出自校园杂志。 （8） 36．B 37．B 38．C 39．C 40．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要阐述朋友在日常生活中的重要意义。朋友能带给我们欢乐与安慰，也帮助我们学习成长，号召我们珍惜友谊，享受和朋友相伴的时光。 【详解】36．根据文章第二段中“Friends bring us lots of fun…When we are sad, friends will comfort us.（朋友带给我们很多欢乐……当我们难过时，朋友会安慰我们。）可知，文中提到朋友给我们带来欢乐，在我们难过时给予安慰。 37．根据文章第二段中“When we are sad, friends will comfort us.（当我们难过的时候，朋友会安慰我们。）可知，人难过的时候，朋友会安慰、宽慰自己。B选项“Make sb. feel better.”符合语境。 38．根据文章中“We should value our friendship. With it, our daily life becomes more wonderful and meaningful.（我们应当珍惜我们的友谊。有了它，我们的日常生活变得更加精彩且有意义。）可知，it指代上一句刚出现的名词our friendship。 39．根据文章中“Friends are really important in our daily life.（朋友在我们日常生活中十分重要。）”、“Friends bring us lots of fun.（朋友带给我们许多欢乐。）”、“Friends also help us learn.（朋友也帮助我们学习。）”以及“In short, friends are very special in our daily life.（总之，朋友在日常生活中十分特别。）”可知，第①段总起提出朋友很重要；②③两段从两个方面分述朋友的作用；第④段总结全文，属于总—分—总结构，对应选项C。 40．根据文章中“Friends are really important in our daily life.（朋友在我们日常生活中十分重要。）”以及“In short, friends are very special in our daily life.（总之，朋友在日常生活中十分特别。）”可知，全文围绕朋友的重要性展开。 （9） 41．C 42．C 43．B 44．D 45．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍西非马里古尔马沙漠大象的生存现状，讲述大象数量锐减的原因、马里大象保护项目（MEP）采取的保护措施以及偷猎问题反复后，多方合力改善大象生存处境的故事。 【详解】41．根据第二段中的“On the one hand, the elephants’ main lake, their only water source (来源) dried up. On the other hand, the land which the elephants lived on was overused by humans.”和第四段中的“However, from 2012 to 2016, poaching and illegal (非法的) trade in the elephants increased rapidly.”可知，大象生存面临的威胁有三个：水源干涸、土地被人类过度使用和非法偷猎交易。 42．根据第三段中的“To protect the elephants’ living environment, the Mali Elephant Project (MEP) was started in 2007.”可知，MEP成立的目的是保护大象的生存环境。 43．根据第四段中“However, from 2012 to 2016, poaching and illegal (非法的) trade in the elephants increased rapidly.”和“Eighty-three elephants were lost in 2015 alone, and another fifty-one elephants were killed in 2016.”可知，poaching和“非法贸易”是并列关系，且导致了大象数量的减少，因此推测poaching意为“偷猎”。 44．根据第四段中“‘If this situation goes on, all the Gourma elephants will be killed by 2025,’ said a member of MEP.”可知，如果人们继续偷猎古尔马沙漠象，这些大象将于2025年灭绝。由此可推知，除非人们停止猎杀大象，否则情况会更糟糕。 45．本文主要介绍了古尔马沙漠象的现状以及人们为了拯救大象而采取的保护措施。因此，这篇文章主要是关于古尔马沙漠象的情况。 （10） 46．B 47．C 48．C 49．B 50．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了大熊猫的栖息地、饮食习性、濒危原因以及保护大熊猫的必要性。 【详解】46．第一段给出信息：“It lives in the bamboo forests of China”，直接说明大熊猫生活在中国的竹林。 47．第二段开头：“Pandas mainly feed on bamboo”，可直接得出大熊猫的主要食物是竹子。 48．第二段：“Because bamboo doesn’t have much nutrition, pandas need to eat a lot of it.” ，可知大熊猫大量进食竹子的原因是竹子的营养含量较低。 49．第三段：“The main reason is that their habitat is being destroyed.” ，可知大熊猫濒危的主要原因是栖息地遭到破坏。 50．第三段指出：“We need to protect pandas and their habitats to ensure their survival.” ，保护大熊猫的做法是保护栖息地、多种竹子，其余选项都会伤害大熊猫。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年八年级英语上册期中重难点专项训练（人教版新教材） 专项07 阅读理解专练Unit1-Unit4 基础篇 （1） Many amazing plants and animals live in the rainforest.

Lucy went to Lijiang Ancient Town with her family. The town has many old streets with traditional houses. She walked around the streets every morning and talked with local people. “The food there was delicious, especially the fried rice with eggs,” she said. In the afternoon, she took photos of the clear rivers. “It was so relaxing to watch the water flow slowly,” she added. Mike spent his holiday in Sanya. He loves the sea, so he swam for hours every day. In the afternoon, he played beach volleyball with new friends. “We laughed a lot, even when we lost the game,” he said. His favorite time was evening—he sat on the beach and watched the sun go down. “The sky turned orange and pink. It was beautiful!” Anna chose to hike in Mountain Huangshan. It was hard—she walked for 5 hours to reach the top. But the view was worth it. “I saw the Guest-Greeting Pine. It looks like it’s welcoming everyone!” she said.

Zhangjiajie is in Hunan Province, and it’s famous for its unique sandstone peaks (砂岩峰林) that inspired the movie Avatar. We arrived in Zhangjiajie by plane. The next morning, we went to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. As soon as we entered the park, we were shocked by the beautiful scenery. There are thousands of tall sandstone peaks standing in the mist (薄雾), and some of them look like people or animals. We took a cable car (缆车) to the top of a mountain. From there, we could see the whole park. The view was so amazing that we took hundreds of photos. In the afternoon, we walked along the Glass Bridge. The bridge is built between two mountains, and it’s made of glass. At first, I was a little scared to walk on it because I could see the valley (山谷) below. But when I looked at the beautiful scenery around, I forgot my fear. It was a very exciting experience. On the third day, we visited Tianmen Mountain. We took the longest cable car ride in the world to the top of the mountain. The ride took about 28 minutes, and we enjoyed the beautiful views of the mountains and forests along the way. At the top, we walked through Tianmen Cave, a big natural cave in the mountain. It was so amazing to see the cave formed by nature. During our trip, we also tasted local food like stinky tofu (臭豆腐) and rice noodles. They were very delicious. This trip to Zhangjiajie was unforgettable.

More and more people enjoy traveling during their holidays. But why is traveling so popular? Here are some reasons. First, traveling helps you learn about the world. When you visit a new place, you see different people, food, and cultures. For example, if you go to Yunnan, you can try crossing-the-bridge rice noodles and learn about the Dai people’s festivals. These experiences are much more interesting than reading about them in books. Second, traveling is good for your health. Walking in mountains or swimming in the sea gives your body exercise. Also, being in nature helps you relax and forget your worries. Many people say they sleep better after a trip. Third, traveling makes your life more colorful. You can try new things like riding an elephant in Thailand or skiing in Harbin. Even if something goes wrong — like losing your way or missing a bus — these become funny stories to tell your friends later. However, traveling also has some problems. It can be expensive and tiring. Sometimes the weather is bad or the food doesn’t taste good. But most travelers agree that the good things are more than the bad ones.

I moved into this community last month, and my bedroom still looks empty and boring. I hope we can make it warm and sweet in one day. Now let me tell you our housework and decorating plan clearly.

After that, we will fold all my clothes and put them into the wardrobe neatly. When all housework is finished, we will start decorating. My bedroom walls are plain white with no pictures. I have many warm family photos taken in my grandma’s village last holiday. We will hang up all these photos on the wall to fill empty space. We also need to set a small tea table near the window for reading time. I will prepare fruit snacks and warm tea for us. We can chat about our trips to the village and talk about different housework we do at home every day. If you have any creative ideas to make my room sweeter, please tell me when you come. We will meet at the gate of our community at nine o’clock this Sunday morning. Don’t forget to bring your small cleaning cloth.

It helps improve the relationship among family members. However, lots of Chinese parents are unaware (不知道的) of the importance of doing housework and they think it is a waste of time. In order to know how often middle school students do housework at home, we did a survey among 1,200 students from Grade 7 to Grade 9 in a middle school. The following bar chart shows the result of our survey. From the bar chart, we find that only a small number of students usually do housework. Nearly half of the students in Grade 9 never do housework. The result makes us worried. After all, doing housework is good for students. It can teach students many important skills, like planning, timing, solving problems and so on. Doing housework can also teach students what responsibility is. Everyone should do something for the family. What’s more, doing housework can help students relax themselves and keep a balance between study and life. Therefore, we suggest that parents should encourage their children to do housework. They must learn one or two life skills every year so that they can be better prepared for an independent (独立的) life in the future. 21．What is the main idea of the first paragraph? A．Doing housework is not necessary for family life. B．Doing housework is important but many Chinese parents don’t realize it. C．Chinese parents all think doing housework is a waste of time. D．Family relationship has nothing to do with doing housework. 22．What can we learn from the bar chart? A．Students in all grades actively take part in housework. B．Over half of the students in Grade 8 never do housework. C．Students in Grade 7 do housework more often than students in Grade 9. D．The result of Grade 9 students is the least worrying among all grades. 23．Which is NOT the good point of doing housework? A．Relaxing a busy mind. B．Saving more time for study. C．Practicing planning and timing skills. D．Learning to be independent from parents. 24．What does the underlined word “responsibility” probably mean in Paragraph 4? A．技能 B．能力 C．责任 D．方法 25．What’s the purpose of the passage? A．To show the result of a recent survey. B．To teach students how to do housework. C．To point out a worrying problem for teachers in school. D．To remind people of the importance of doing housework. （6） Some people always think the lives of housewives are so easy and relaxing, but is it really true? The fact is that housewives face more pressure than we imagine. They need to do more at home, not just cleaning or cooking. Nowadays, many moms stay at home for the kids and they need to learn more knowledge about early education for children. It is not easier than working outside. Li became a housewife five years ago because she wanted to spend more time with her son. “It was really hard to find a balance between family and work, so I gave up my job,” Li said. “It was a very difficult decision because many future uncertainties may appear, such as how to pick up a job after my son grows up.” “The meaning of doing chores is far more than just good for small families,” Wang Hongwei said, who is a professor from South China Normal University. It plays a very important role in social development. The combination (结合) of giving birth to children, feeding them and taking care of the other family members is a strong guarantee (保证) for the future workforce to have a career outside the home. Since 2021, a couple is allowed to have three children in China. That means more time and energy will have to be put into domestic work. The family need to care more about housewives. 26．What is the first paragraph mainly about? A．Housewives are not just doing chores at home. B．Housewives need to learn to take care of their children. C．Housewives just stay at home happily. D．Housewives avoid the pressure from the society. 27．Why did Li become a housewife? A．Her husband asked her to leave the job. B．Her boss didn’t like her.

B．Housewives play a very important role in social development. C．Housewives are just good for their families. D．Our nation encourages more housewives to give birth to the third child. 29．What does the underlined word “domestic” mean? A．国内的 B．家庭的 C．公司的 D．另外的 30．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To encourage us to be a housewife. B．To call on us to care for housewives. C．To teach us how to live a better life. D．To tell us how to be a good housewife. （7） Knowing yourself is very important. Some students are talking about their personalities. Are they the same as you? Be a good listener I care about people’s ideas and feelings. I listen to others carefully and don’t stop them talking. I look at people’s eyes when I’m talking with them.        —Sally Be helpful Sam missed many classes because he was in hospital for weeks. After he returned to school, I helped him with schoolwork.

Now there are fewer than four hundred. Why did the number of the elephants drop so quickly? On the one hand, the elephants’ main lake, their only water source (来源) dried up. On the other hand, the land which the elephants lived on was overused by humans. To protect the elephants’ living environment, the Mali Elephant Project (MEP) was started in 2007. MEP met with local people and helped them make rules of using land and water. As a result, the situation became better and there was more food, forests and grassland. However, from 2012 to 2016, poaching and illegal (非法的) trade in the elephants increased rapidly. Eighty-three elephants were lost in 2015 alone, and another fifty-one elephants were killed in 2016. “If this situation goes on, all the Gourma elephants will be killed by 2025,” said a member of MEP. Luckily, the voice of MEP was heard. More organizations have joined together to educate the local people that trading elephants is against the law. Elephant poaching has dropped to a very low level. The local people have learnt to live peacefully with the elephants. 41．How many threats to elephants’ survival are mentioned? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 42．Why was MEP started?

It lives in the bamboo forests of China. Pandas are black and white, and they look very cute. Pandas mainly feed on bamboo. They spend most of their day eating bamboo. Because bamboo doesn’t have much nutrition, pandas need to eat a lot of it. Pandas are also good at climbing trees, even though they are a bit fat. Giant pandas are an endangered species. The number of pandas in the wild is very small. The main reason is that their habitat is being destroyed. People are cutting down bamboo forests, so pandas have less food to eat. We need to protect pandas and their habitats to ensure their survival. 46．Where do giant pandas live? A．In the deserts of China. B．In the bamboo forests of China. C．In the rainforests of China.
