八年级英语下册阅读理解专项练习经典1 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Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print?Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare. And because there weren't many books, few people learned to read.Then printing was invented in China. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly.Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players.Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. So will books be replaced by computers one day?

Some of the greatest men in history have thought about the problem. One of these, for example, was the great Italian artist, Leonardo da Vinci. In the sixteenth century he made designs for machines that could fly. But they were never built.Throughout history, other less famous men have wanted to fly as well. An example was a man in England about 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings* from chicken feathers. Then he fixed them to his body and jumped into the air from a tall building. As you can imagine, he did not fly very far. Instead he fell to the ground and broke every bone in his body.The first real try took place in France in 1783. The two Montgolfier brothers knew that hot air rises. If they could fill a large balloon with hot air; they thought it would rise into the air and fly. They were right. They made a very large "hot air balloon" of cloth and paper. They filled it with hot air and the balloon rose two hundred metres into the air. It fell to earth about three kilometres away. In September of that year, both the King and Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky. We do not know what the passengers felt about the trip as they were a cock, a duck, and a sheep. But we do know that the trip lasted for 8 minutes and then the animals landed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip lasted for twenty-five minutes and they traveled about 8 kilometers.(1) Leonardo da Vinci.A. made designs of flying machinesB. built a kind of machine which never flewC. drew many beautiful pictures of the birds D. said that man would fly in the sky one day(2) Eight hundred years ago an Englishman.A. made a kind of flying machine himselfwanted to build a kind of hot air balloonB. tried to fly from a tall building on a large birdtried to fly with wings made of chicken feathers(3) The two Montgolfier brothers tried at flying.A. onceB. twiceC. three timesD. four times(4) Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A.
