一、八年级英语下册阅读理解专项练习（含答案解析）
1．阅读理解
One day, Susie was unhappy when she came home from school. "What's the matter, my dear?" asked her mother, drawing her to her side and smiling.
"All our class must hand in compositions tomorrow. We must write 12 lines at least. But I can never write one. I'll have to go to school without a composition, for I won't copy one from a book, or ask you or papa to write one for me."
"That's right," said her mother. "You'll be happier with a poor composition, if it's your own, than with a fine one written by somebody else. But cheer up. Run into the garden and play. I'll call you in half an hour. Don't think about your composition now. Just have a good time."
It seemed just a few minutes to Susie before she heard her mother calling her. She went into the house immediately — her hands full of sweet flowers, and her face red with exercise.
Then her mother asked her to sit by the window with a nice piece of paper and a pencil, and write something about what she could see. "Never mind your composition; do this to please me, and we'll talk about that later."
Although Susie thought her mother's request was strange, she knew she always had a good reason for everything she did. So she did as her mother requested.
As she looked out, she first saw the western sky and some bright, sunset clouds. "Oh, mother, what a sunset!"
"Don't talk. Just write."
The pencil began moving rapidly across the paper. She wrote about the sunset clouds, the look of the distant hills, the streets, the river, the garden with its flowers, and the birds flying past the window. She forgot all about the terrible composition!
Just as she had reached the bottom of the page, her mother came in and said with a smile, "Well, Susie, how does that composition come on?"
"Composition! You told me not to think about it, and I've never thought of it once. I've had such a nice time writing about what I could see from the window."
Mrs. Smith took the paper and read what Susie had written. She said, "There, Susie, that's a very nice composition, really."
"A composition! Is that a composition?" Susie asked in surprise.
"Yes, my dear, and a very good one, too, if we find a title for it," replied her mother. Then she added, "I'm sure it will please your teacher, as it does me. You see, it's easy enough to write a composition if you have anything interesting to write about."

9．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。
Have you ever had thought about building a robot? Or putting together a spaceship? Or even seeing your face made out of chocolate? Done. All you need is a 3-D printer.
The possibilities of 3-D printing seem endless. All the user has to do is to design an object on the computer and choose a material to print in. The printers print in hundreds of different materials including glass, sugar and even skin! When the user presses "print", the 3-D printer spreads the materials layer by layer and like magic the object is produced.
The first 3-D printer was invented in 1986 by American, Charles Hull. But 3-D printing has only become cheap enough recently for most people to use. Designers now use 3-D printing to create unusual things. The Dutch artist Dirk Vander Kooj prints furniture made from old fridges.
And doctors have used 3-D printing to print human body parts! The Telegraph reported in February that scientists from Cornell Medical College even printed a man-made ear.
But like a lot of new technologies, if 3-D printing gets into the wrong hands, it can be dangerous.
In 2011 a group of four men in the US used 3-D printing to produce ATM skimmers. These were placed on an ATM and stole over $400,000 from users of the ATM. It is terrible to think that criminals like them might one day use a 3-D printer to print a gun.
But for better or for worse, 3-D printing has been put into use. In a few years, you'll probably be wondering how you could ever live without your 3-D printer!
（1）________ invented the first3-D printer.
A. Charles Hull
B. Four men in the US
C. Dirk Vander Kooj
D. A doctor called Cornell （2）What is the correct order for people to use a 3-D printer?
a. choose a proper material.
b. Press "print".
c. The 3-D printer spreads the material.
d. Use a computer to design an object.
A. a-b-c-d
B. d-c-b-a
C. a-c-d-b
D. d-a-b-c
（3）According to the passage, people have NOT yet produced ________ with a 3-D printer.
A. a gun
B. some furniture
C. a man-made ear
D. ATM skimmers
（4）What does the writer think of the 3-D printer?
A. It is useless in our daily life.
B. It is helpful but dangerous.
C. It is important only for our work.
D. It is too expensive for most people.
【答案】（1）A
（2）D
（3）A
（4）B
【解析】【分析】文章大意：这篇短文给我们介绍了现在科技3D打印机的发展和用途，以及3D打印机的发明创造，应广泛用于现在生活的领域。以及其重要作用。
（1）细节理解题。根据短文中The first 3-D printer was invented in 1986 by an American, Charles Hull.可知，在1986年第一个3D打印机是一位美国人叫Charles Hull发明的，故选A。
