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
（3）C
【解析】【分析】文章大意：文章讲述了自从六岁一直陪伴自己的布袋猴Lan，它是她忠实的倾听者，她走到哪里把它带到哪里，直到12岁，把它放进橱柜里，现在我才意思到成熟不仅是长大和承担更多的责任，而且是有时候坚持童年和装嫩。

If you look at the top of your phone, you'll usually see a little symbol that says 3G or 4G.The \"G\" stands for the \"generation （代）\" of your mobile phone network. But these symbols will become things of the past after 5G networks fully arrive.
On March 30, Shanghai vice-mayor Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X smartphone, CGTN reported. Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks.
About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will let people download and upload data faster than ever before. But 5G won't just bring faster mobile Internet. People can use it to do many other things as well.
For example, 5G will help to make self-driving cars safer. Today's self-driving test cars have one problem-lag （延迟）. When the car \"sees\" an obstacle （障碍物）, it sends he information to a data center and receives instructions. However, it takes time to send and receive the information with this kind of lag, the cars might crash because they don't receive instructions in time.

Medical experts say most Americans do not get enough sleep. They say more Americans need to take a nap—that is to rest for a short period in the middle of the day. They give people advice to sleep lightly before continuing with other activities. The experts say naps might improve health by reducing pressure.
Some European and Latin American companies have supported the idea of napping for many years. They ask people to leave work, go home and have a nap before returning. In the United States, some companies let workers rest simply in their offices. They believe this can help workers make fewer mistakes and also increase the amount of work that a person can do.
Sleep experts say it is likely that people make more mistakes at work than at other times. They say people should not carry out important tasks when they feel sleepy. And they say the best thing to do is to take a nap. About twenty minutes of rest is all you need. Experts say this provides extra energy and can increase your effects until the end of the day. But experts said that a nap should last no more than twenty to thirty minutes. A longer nap will put the body into deep sleep and waking up will be difficult.

A. a story book B. a poster C. a science fiction D. a medical magazine （2）What's the best way to increase workers' effects? A. Talking with friends. B. Doing relaxing exercise.
