Every day when I enter the classroom, I will take a look at the wall beside my seat. You will find nothing special about this old wall if you just look at it. But for the

students in my class, it is a special wall. Take a good look at it, and you will get to know the real feelings and thoughts of us, the 9th graders.

In the middle of the wall, there is a big “VICTORY”. It was written in pencil. I guess it must have been written by someone who got a good mark in an exam.

A little higher above the formulas, there is a poem. It only has two sentences. It reads: All those sweet memories have disappeared. Like tears dropping in the heavy rain.

Oh! It must have been written at the end of the last term in middle school. Classmates had to leave school and good friends had to part. What a sad poem!

If you “explore” the wall more carefully, you will find many other interesting things, like a crying face, or a happy face, and other patterns(图案). There are still some patterns and letters that I can’t understand, but they all show the feeling of the students who drew them.

For years, the wall has witnessed(目睹) all the things that have happened in the classroom. I don’t know how it will be next year, two years from now, or even ten years from now. But I hope more smiling faces will be drawn on it.

The film Forever Enthralled was directed by the director Chen Kaige, and famous stars acted in it, such as Li Ming and Zhang Ziyi and Chen Hong. This film shows Mei Lanfang’s life as a master of Beijing opera.

It was the last day of the final examination in a college. On the steps of building, a group of engineering students were waiting for the last exam. On their faces was confidence.

They knew the exam would be easy. The professor (a teacher at a college) had said they could bring any books or notes during the test.

Right after they came into the classroom. The professor handed out the papers. There were only five questions on it.

Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was nervous expression. The professor watched the worried faces before him, and then asked, “How many of you have completed all five questions?” No hand was raised. “How many of you have answered four?” Still no hands. “Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats. “One, then? Certainly somebody has finished one.” But the class kept silent. The professor said, “That is exactly what I expected. I just want to make you know clearly that even though you have completed four years of engineering. There are still many things about the subject you don't know. These questions you could not answer are common in everyday practice.” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all pass this course, your education has just begun.”

The years have obscured the name of this professor, but not the lesson he taught.

（）16. Why did the students think the exam was easy at first?

A. Sorry.

B. Angry.

C. Unexpected.

D. Unsurprised.

（）20. What’s the best title for the article?

A. Some Confident Students.

B. An Engineering Exam.

C. An Interesting Professor.

D. An Unforgettable Lesson.

Today, people are paying more and more attention to improving their health through sports and exercise. But some of them have some wrong ideas about it.

A plate of chicken is a good meal before games because it has much energy.

In fact, the best meal before games should have carbohydrates(碳水化合物). Foods like potatoes, bread, bananas are rich in it, but chicken and meat are not. Carbohydrates are the best and most easily used form of energy. The energy that you get for today's game is from what you ate yesterday!

The best time to exercise is early in the morning.

No. Morning is a good time to exercise, but it may not be suitable for you. If an afternoon or evening period suits you, and you enjoy the feeling of getting healthier, you can choose any time to exercise. There is no fixed time for you to exercise.

If you drink water when you exercise, you'll get headaches and feel tired.

The fact is that you must have some water during breaks when you exercise. And after exercising, you must have enough water. If you don't drink enough water, then you'll probably get headaches and feel tired.

Exercising the same body part every day is the fastest way to improve strength.

False. Exercising the same body part every day is the fastest way to cause

problems. To improve

strength, you want to work your muscles(肌肉) hard, but then you need to give those muscles a day of rest. Too much exercise can cause serious problems to muscles.

Girls who do strength training will make their muscles big.

Wrong. We usually connect those big muscles with bodybuilders(健美运动员)but girls don't have enough of male hormone(雄性激素) to make their muscles big like men. Strength training is a good way to make their muscles strong for girls. （）21. You had better eat _____ before games.

A. bananas

B. chicken

C. meat

D. beef （）22. What does the underlined word "fixed" mean in the article?

A. important

B. regular

C. simple

D. difficult

（）23. Which of the following statements is true?

A. Strength training might make girls become silly.

B. Evening is the best time to exercise as it's always cool.

C. You should eat food full of energy today for tomorrow's games.

八年级英语阅读竞赛试卷

八年级英语阅读竞赛试卷 Name:__________ Class:___________ A Sociologists(社会学家), working in western countries, have found that a large number of women wished they had been born men. The number is said to be as high as 60% in Germany. “Women often wish they had the same chances as men have, and think it is still men’s world.” Said Dr. James Helen, one of the sociologists who did the study. Many men say that they have more duties than women. A man has to make money to support(养活) his family and to make the important decision, so it is right for men to be paid more. Some are even against their wives working at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the home and children cannot be taken good care of. If women take full-time jobs, they won’t be able to do what they are best at doing: making a nice home and bringing up the children. Some women disagree. They say they want to get out of their homes and to have freedom to choose between work and home life. Women have the right of equal pay and equal chances. Anne Harper has a very good job. She also believes in “Women’s Liberation”. “I don’t wish I were a man,” she says, “and I don’t think many women do. But I do wish people would stop treating us like second-class people. At work, for example, we usually do the work that men do but get paid less. There are still a lot of jobs only to men usually they are the best ones. If you are a man, you have a much better chance of living a wonderful life. How many women scientists are there…or engineers?” 1.Many men think_______. A. women can’t do what men can. B. men have to work much harder than women C. men can make money more easily than women. D. women’s duty is mainly to do housework at home. 2.Some women have different ideas. They say that____________. A. women need chances to go out of the home more often. B. women want more freedom in deciding the kind of life they want. C. if women are given equal pay, they can do everything instead of men. D. women are no longer interested in taking care of their homes. 3. Anne Harper thought that women should _________. A. live a better life than men B. be really liberated C. be given better jobs than men D. live a more wonderful life than men 4. Anne Harper didn’t wish to be a man __________. A. because she believed in “Women’s Liberation” B. but she wished to get the same job as men C. because she had got a good job D. but she wished to be treated the same as a man 5. Which of the following is not true according to the passage? A. There are more men scientists, engineers than women ones. B. Women are second-class people, so they shouldn’t live a better life. C. Women do the same jobs as men, but get paid less than men.

八年级英语下册阅读理解经典题型带答案

八年级英语下册阅读理解经典题型带答案一、八年级英语下册阅读理解专项练习（含答案解析） 1．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 When I was younger, bedtime was always my favorite part of the day. Wearing soft pajamas （睡衣裤） and with Lan, my stuffed monkey, in my arms, I felt no pressure at all. I named Lan after my uncle when I compared Lan's long arms and legs to his. One night I ran up to Uncle Lan at a family party and told him I had named my monkey after him. His eyebrows wrinkled （起皱纹）in confusion, and then a chuckle （哈哈大笑）escaped from his lips. I guess he didn't understand how important it was to me. Even if Uncle Lan didn't think my monkey was special, I certainly did. I dressed him in a white baby nightgown （睡衣）. My mother thought that Lan was the best-dressed stuffed animal in the world. Yes, he was certainly a fashionable creature. The strong cologne （科隆香水） I used on him years ago makes him still smell "pretty". For a long time, Lan went everywhere with me. He was my best friend, and I told him everything. But when I turned twelve, I realized I was too old for stuffed animals. I thought people would think I was babyish, so I put him in the cupboard with the rest of my teddy bears and dolls. I begged him to understand why I was doing this, but at the same time I longed to talk to him again. It took me several years to realize that it was OK to miss Lan. I know now that maturity （成熟） doesn't only mean growing up and taking on more responsibility （责任）. It also means holding on to your childhood and acting young sometimes. Lan has been with me since I was six years old. Holding him in my arms connects me with my past and my present as I continue growing and understanding myself. （1）Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A. Bedtime used to be the writer's favorite part of the day because of the stuffed monkey. B. Uncle Lan liked the stuffed monkey as much as the writer. C. The writer used to carry the monkey with her wherever she went. D. Years later the writer realized that it was not wrong to miss Monkey Lan. （2）The writer loved Monkey Lan deeply because ________. A. he could understand her B. he was a fashionable monkey C. he could talk with her D. he was her most honest listener （3）We can learn from the passage that the writer believes ________. A. keeping stuffed animals is babyish B. maturity doesn't mean growing up and taking on more responsibility C. one should keep to his childhood and act young sometimes even when he has grown up D. human beings should be kind to animals 【答案】（1）B （2）D

一. 阅读理解 11. Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair, or your fridge? Probably they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, thanks to the so-called "Internet of things". The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. Earlier this year, Samsung CEO spent a lot of time talking about the Internet things. He said that five years from now, every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things, no matter whether it's a remote control or a washing machine. So, how do household(家用的) objects that are part of the Internet of things work? Well, think of a common chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold. An Internet-connected camera could help people feel safer in their homes. It can know people's faces and has an infrared sensor(红外传感器), so even if it's dark it can see when someone passes by and send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who's there. If the person is someone you don't know, it can tell you that, too. But according to MIT Technology Roview, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security (安全) systems to the Internet, there may be some problems. For example, many early connected-home objects don't have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked(被黑客攻击). Moreover, it could be difficult to get these new machines to work together especially when they are made by different companies. To fight this, many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 members by late 2014. So, picture this: you enter your home. The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think. ( ) 1. The Samsung CEO's speech is mentioned to prove that ______. A. Samsung has produced the Internet of things recently B. the Internet of things will appear in our daily life sooner C. Samsung products have been part of the Internet of things D. he spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things ( ) 2. We can infer(推断)from paragraphs 3 and 4 that ______. A. the chair can know whether the user feels cold or not B. a usual chair can warm up when it knows the user comes in C. an Internet-connected camera can be used to take photos in the house D. an Internet-connected camera can be connected to the user's smartphone ( ) 3. Paragraph 5 is mainly about ______. A. the possible problems of "the Internet of things" B. the problems with early connected-home objects C. how to get different new machines working together D. how to solve the "the Internet of things" problems ( ) 4. Which of the following words best describes the writer's tone(语气) in the article? A. Worried B. Doubtful C. Hopeful D. Humorous 12. Almost every day, we discuss the topic of health, especially for kids. But what is health? "Health" means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having a healthy weight. Let's read the following rules. They can help you stay healthy. Eat a variety of foods, especially fruits and vegetables. We all know that eating fruits and vegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favorite foods. Remember that we can only get the nutrition (营养) we need by eating different kinds of food, especially fruits and vegetables. Drink water and milk most often. Everyone knows that water is important. Besides that, kids need plenty of calcium(钙)to grow strong bones, and milk has a lot of it. Every day, you should drink at least three cups of milk (1300 milligrams of calcium), when you are 9 years old or older. You should also try to have less sugary drinks like soda and coca. They include a lot of added sugar. Sugar just includes calories without any important nutrition. Listen to your body. When you are eating, notice how you body feels. When your stomach feels comfortably full, stop eating. Eating too much makes you feel uncomfortable. If you do it too often, it can make you unhealthy and fat.
