一、八年级英语下册语法填空专项练习（含答案解析）

1．语法填空

Which is better, writing or typing（打字）? These days, many college students have given up taking class notes by hand.________, they type on laptops because they think typing is fast, and they can type________ （many） notes, But research has shown that taking notes by hand is in fact better for long term memory.

In the research, students were asked to listen________ a teacher. Some took notes by typing on a laptop. The ________ （other） took notes by writing them down. Then they were given a test. Both groups got almost the same result in________ （remember） the facts. But students who typed their notes did worse on conceptual （概念的） questions.

Why is it like this? The answer is that writing by hand is slow, but it gives the students more time________ （think） about the questions they don't understand. They are________ to write down the main points. "This leads to a deeper understanding," say the scientists.

However, the students typing notes on a laptop________ （usual） just write down what the teacher says word for word in class. Although they can write more notes, they just type without really________（think）about what they are typing. "This usually leads to mindless transcription （抄

录）,"say the scientists.

So if you want to remember something________（well）, write it by hand!

【答案】Instead；more；to；others；remembering；to think；able；usually；thinking；better

【解析】【分析】文章大意：短文论述了到底用手做比你好还是打字好，人们认为用手写字能够让人们进行深入思考，好找人们用手写字。

（1）句意：相反，他们用笔记本电脑打字，因为他们认为打字快。这是两个进行比较的句子，使用instead表示强调，故答案是Instead。

（2）句意：他们可以打印更多的笔记。对应前面的打字快，可以推测打印更多的笔记，应使用比较级many的比较级是more，故答案是more。

（3）句意：在调查中，学生被问到听老师讲课。listen to，听……固定搭配，故答案是to （4）句意：其他人用手写字做笔记。some…the others，一些……其余的，故答案是others。

（5）句意：两组事实上得到了相同的结果。in是介词，介词后的动词使用ing形式，故答案是remembering。

（6）句意：这样会给学生跟多的去思考他们不明白的问题。思考问题作定语修饰time，因此使用动词不定式，故答案是to think。

（7）句意：他们能够记下重点。be able to能够，固定搭配，故答案是able。

（8）句意：然而，学生们通常在笔记本电脑上打印笔记。usual做状语，应使用副词usually，故答案是usually。

（9）句意：他们只是打字，没有真正的思考。withoutWie介词，介词后的懂事使用ing

形式，故答案是thinking。

（10）句意：如果你想把东西记忆得更好，用手记下来。根据前面的叙述可知，右手写字可以深入思考，记忆会更好，因此使用比较级better，故答案是better。

【点评】考查词汇在篇章中的运用能力，答题时首先要跳过空格通读文章掌握其大意，然后细读文章，字斟句酌逐一作答，注意考虑句型、语法、搭配、语境等因素。最后通读一遍，检查验证。

10．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."

I did as he told me and I was very surprised to discover that about half the things were true.

I took the list to my dad. He refused to take it. "That's just for you," he said. "You know the truth about yourself better than any other people. When something said about you is true, it will be helpful to you. Don't shut your ears. Listen to them all, but remember the truth and do what you think is right."

12．阅读理解

One morning, I was driving my father-in-law to the airport when a plane flew silently over the road like a big bird, about to touch down at the airport.

"It's magic," my father-in-law said. I looked at him, without knowing what was happening.

He was a doctor who gave speeches at colleges and had visited more than 100 countries. He understood better than I why a plane can fly in the sky. It, really, wasn't magic. But now, I realize he was at least right in some way.

Though flying might not be magic, it's certainly magical. What it brings to our real lives is something found in our dreams.

But too often, we, especially I forget. I read a sentence a few months ago. It said, "You know you're growing-up when you no longer want a window seat."

Too often in recent years, I've asked for a seat near the exit row, forgetting the wonders of traveling fast. But sometimes, when the Wi-Fi's not working or my computer has no power, I remember to look.

I think of one time when I was leaving on a family vacation. Moments after take-off, I started working. But a passenger behind me wouldn't stop talking. "The clouds!" he kept saying, "Look at the clouds!"

I turned around, and saw two men, one who appeared to be in his seventies and the other much younger. The chat continued for 20 minutes until, not patiently, I raised my eyes from my computer screen and looked out of the window.

The clouds!

He was right. We were floating through big soft balls of cotton, each in different shapes. They seemed easy enough to touch. The afternoon sun provided all kinds of colors, all against a blue sky. I put away my computer and appreciated（欣赏）them for the rest of the flight.

I don't remember the work I felt like I had to complete that afternoon. I've never forgotten those clouds.

（1）The writer thinks flying is "magical" because .

A. he wonders why a plane can fly

B. it has changed human lives in some ways

C. he thinks planes have magic powers

D. it can fly silently over the road like a big bird

（2）What is the meaning of the underlined sentence in the 6th paragraph?

A. Where people grow up, their minds slow down.

B. When people grow up, they do not like changes.

C. Grown-ups often care too much about day-to-day work.

D. Grown-ups care little about the speed of travelling by plane.

（3）How did the writer feel first when he listened to the chat for 20 minutes?

A. Unhappy.

B. Excited.

C. Interested.

D. Nervous.

（4）Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage?

A. Is it a wonder?

B. Is it magic?

C. What soft clouds!

D. What a strange flight!

【答案】（1）B

（2）C

（3）A

（4）B

If you watch the sky for about an hour after the sun goes down, you may see some "moving stars". But they are not real stars. They are man-made satellites. And the biggest of all is the International Space Station （ISS）. From May to July, it is the best season to watch the ISS flying

over the earth. And people can see it with their eyes during the time.

The scientists want to live on the ISS. They think that the best way to learn more about space is to live there.

When the space station is finished, it will be like a city in space. People will stay and study there with many of the things they have at home. Laboratories, living rooms and power stations are being built. The ISS is the most expensive program. Billions of dollars are spent on it every year. Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping stone for future space exploration. "The ISS will be more useful some day. The ISS will help us understand the human body better, explore space and study the earth. It can help us make life on the earth better," said Kathryn Clark, an ISS scientist.

Sixteen countries are part of the space program, the US, Russia, Canada, Japan, Brazil, and 11 European countries. China isn't an ISS country, but it has helped with some of the experiments. In 2003, China sent some rice up to the ISS to find out what space would do to it.
