一、八年级英语上册阅读理解专项训练
1．阅读理解

    Try to imagine a life without a memory. It would be impossible. You couldn't use a language, because you wouldn't remember the words. You couldn't understand a film, because you need to hold the first part of the story in your mind in order to understand the later parts. You wouldn't be able to recognize anyone - even members of your own family. You would live in a present forever. You would have no past and you wouldn't be able to imagine a future.
    Human beings have amazing memories. Besides all our memories about our own lives, we can recall （回忆） between 20,000 and 100,000 words in our own language as well as possibly thousands more in a foreign language. We have all kinds of information about different subjects such as history, science, and geography, and we have many skills such as driving a car or playing a musical instrument. All these things depend on our memory.
    How well you remember things depends on many different factors. Firstly, some people have better memories than others, in just the same way as some people are taller than others. Secondly, research shows that, you can store different things in different parts of the brain. Ideas, words, and numbers are stored in the left—hand side, while the right-hand side remembers pictures, sounds, and smells. In most people, one side of the brain is more developed than the other, and this may explain why some people can remember people's faces easily, but can't remember their names.
（1）What does "store" mean in the last paragraph?
A. 保存                                     B. 翻译                                     C. 吸收                                     D. 隐藏
（2）What does the first paragraph talk about?
A. How to keep memory better.
B. How the life would be without memory.
C. How brain works to keep memory.
D. How to remember things.
（3）What can we learn from this passage?
A. If we have no memory, we can use a lot of languages.
B. We can remember our lives and keep a lot of information in our mind.
C. All of people have good memories.
D. People can remember words when they are using their right-hand brain.
（4）Where can we probably read the passage?
A. In an advertisement.         B. In a storybook.         C. In a magazine.         D. In a news report.

5．根据短文内容，选择正确答案。
    Maybe you know floods, earthquakes, sandstorms and so on. But have you heard of typhoons?
    Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. Most happen in July, August and September.
    How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates （蒸发）into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into sky. Then cooler air around it rushes in. It fills the space that is left. After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind. The wind goes in circles（圆圈）and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves. And when the wind moves faster than 30 metres a second, a typhoon begins.
    A typhoon has two parts, one is called the “eye”. In the eye, the wind does not move so fast. The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye. Here are the strongest winds and hardest rains.
    Typhoons are very dangerous. In November this year, Typhoon Haiyan killed 5500 people in Philippines. More people are missing.
    What to do when a typhoon hits?
    Stay inside. Close all the windows and stay away from them.
    Try to bring all of your things inside. Strong winds could even blow away your bikes!
    Listen to the radio or TV for important information.
    If you're told to go to a safer place, do it right now.

A. an advertisement of a typhoon                       B. a travel record

A. in the hot season           B. in the cold season           C. only in China           D. under the sea

    In a town in Italy cats raced down the street in a group. That happened only a few hours before an earthquake. In San Francisco, a man kept tiny pet frogs. One Sunday, the frogs jumped around more than ever. They made loud noises, like bigger frogs. That night, an earthquake struck the city.

      Luckily before all of them disappeared, the Duke of Bedford（贝德福特公爵） took some to Britain. The Milu deer like the cool, wet weather in England and their numbers increased（增长） year by year.

      Since they returned to China, their number has grown quickly .There are now so many of them that a new park has been opened for them in Hubei Province. Now the Milu deer live in the wildlife parks and have good protection. We hope that one day they can live in the wild again.
