一、阅读理解
  • 1. (2023八上·金华期中) 阅读理解

    A smile is the best language. The truth of a smile is that it's like a seed that can grow in a garden called "life".

    If there is one thing I have missed the most in the past 3 years, it is to see other people smile. When every face has a mask(口罩)on it, you might feel safer. But your mind might start to feel sick. Over these last months, I've learned to notice the "stars" in people's eyes that they still have when they smile from behind a mask. But it isn't quite the same.

    Every smile is like a gift. As I grow up, my mom's smile always warms my heart. I am so happy that it appears on the faces of my children. My grandparents' smile always has a happy "Hello!" along with it. My dad hardly smiles to us, but I always loved seeing it.

    Over the years, I have also learned a lot about smiles. I have read that "We don't smile because we are happy. We are happy because we smile." I also read that "I have never seen a smiling face that wasn't beautiful." And I know that both of these things were true. What I remember most, though, is something from my teacher. He said, "If nobody wants us to be happy, why does smiling feel so good?"

    It doesn't matter if you are wearing a mask or not. It doesn't matter if your teeth are white or not. Show the world your smile. Smiles share our love. Smiles spread our joy. Smiles make the world's better place. One of the greatest, kindness and most loving things you can do is to give another person your smile.

    1. (1) What does the writer tell us in Paragraph 2?
      A . Smile with "stars" in our eyes, or we'll feel sick. B . The more we smile, the more happiness we'll get. C . A smiling face behind a mask is different but happy. D . We can bring out the best to make our friend smile.
    2. (2) What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
      A . Mom's smile. B . Grandma's smile. C . My grandparents' smiles. D . My children's smiles.
    3. (3) What can we learn from the passage?
      A . Smile to yourself every morning. B . It's meaningless to smile with a mask. C . Never show your smile to strangers. D . Try to share your smile with the world.
    4. (4) Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
      A . B . C . D .

    In the middle of the first term of school, the entire eighth grade was tested for basic skills. Steve hurried through his tests, and continued to dream of other things. His heart was not in school, but in the woods. 

    One day, Miss White's impatient voice broke into his daydreams. "Steve! Pay attention!" Steve turned to look at her, fixing his eyes on Miss White, as she began to go over the test results for the eighth grade.

    "You all did pretty well," she told the class, "except for one boy, and it breaks my heart to tell you this, but..." She hesitated, her eyes searching his face. "...The smartest boy in the eighth grade is failing my class!" She just stared at Steve. Steve dropped his eyes.

    After that, it was war! Steve still wouldn't do his homework. Even as the punishments became more severe, he remained stubborn(顽固不化的).

    "Just try it! ONE WEEK!" He was unmoved.

    "You're smart enough! You'll see a change!" Nothing touched him.

    "Give yourself a chance! Don't give up on your life!" Nothing.

    "Steve! Please! I care about you!"

    Wow! Suddenly, Steve got it! Someone cared about him? Steve went home from school, thoughtful, that afternoon. Walking into the house, both parents were out. He, quickly, gathered up a jar of peanut butter, a loaf of bread, a bottle of water, and this time...his schoolbooks.

    The following Monday he arrived at school on time, and he waited for Miss White to enter the classroom. She walked in, all smiles! God, she was beautiful! 

    Miss White, immediately, gave a quiz on the weekend homework. Steve hurried through the test and was the first to hand in his paper. With a look of surprise, Miss White took his paper. Obviously puzzled, she began to look it over. Miss White's face was in total shock! The smartest boy in the eighth grade had just passed his first test!

    From that moment nothing was the same for Steve. Life at home remained the same, but life still changed. He discovered that not only could he learn, but he was good at it!

    He discovered that he could understand knowledge and translate the things he learned into his own life. Steve began to go ahead! 

    1. (1) Steve used to be bad at his lessons because ____.
      A . the teacher blamed him from time to time B . he was not a smart boy in his class C . the test for the seventh grade challenged his confidence D . he hadn't put his heart into his studies
    2. (2) It was the ____that made Steve begin to work hard at his lessons later.
      A . his parents B . his classmates C . the teacher D . failure in the test
    3. (3) Which of the following descriptions is TRUE according to the passage?
      A . Steve often helped his parents work in the woods instead of going to school. B . The teacher punished Steve for his failure in the test for the eighth grade. C . Steve not only made progress but finally became a good student of the class. D . Steve was actually a clever boy, but Miss White hadn't realized it at first.
    4. (4) Which of the following words best describes Steve's teacher?
      A . Hardworking. B . Caring. C . Outstanding. D . Strict.

    Last month, I took my son Tom to see his grandparents in the countryside. His grandpa took him to the yard to play. Tom was curious about everything.

    At lunch, Tom told me, "Dad, I saw a hen flying."

    "Impossible!" I said without thinking. "How can a hen fly?"

    "Dad the dog ran after the hen in the yard. The hen was tapped (被困) in a corner. When the hen saw no other way out, she suddenly flapped her wings and flew up to the roof (房顶). The hen escaped. Dad, I didn't know hens could fly. How can she fly?" my child asked.

    I thought for a while and said, "Maybe because of love. The hen loves her own life and that helps her fly!"

    Tom nodded (点头). He seemed to have understood.

    Last weekend, we visited Tom's grandparents again. This time I heard Tom shouting from the yard, "Dad! The dog is chasing the hen again! Come and see!"

    I ran out of the house. The hen was running after a group of chickens, followed closely by the dog. Then the hen suddenly stopped and turned around-she raised up wings and clucked at the dog.

    I ran over and got between the dog and the hen, shouting at the dog to drive it away.

    "Dad, why didn't the hen fly away? She knows she can't fight the dog." Tom asked.

    I thought for a while and said, "Maybe because of love. She loves her babies more than anything in the world."

    Tom thought for a long time and nodded. He seemed to have understood.

    1. (1) How many times did the dog run after the hen in the passage?
      A . Once. B . Twice. C . Three times. D . Four times.
    2. (2) What does the underlined word "chasing" mean?
      A . 抓住 B . 跑开 C . 追赶 D . 追求
    3. (3) Why did the hen stop running and stand in front of the dog the second time?
      A . Because she was trying to protect her children. B . Because she knew the dog couldn't fight her. C . Because she knew she could fly up to the roof. D . Because she knew how to ask people for help.
    4. (4) What lesson does the writer try to teach his son?
      A . Don't run away from your problems. B . Nothing can beat you if you tell yourself to be brave. C . You should love yourself more than anyone else. D . Parents love their kids more than anything.
