2024-2025学年年八年级下册期末阅读练习
一、阅读理解
Imagine you are sitting in an airplane, please look down at your school. What would it look like A map shows the view of an area from above. We use maps to find out where places are, or how far it is between places. Maps also help us to find the way. This is because they tell us which direction to take to reach a place.
Map scales (比例)
Map Distance on paper Real distance on the ground
School 1 cm 10m
Town or city 1 cm 250m
Small country 1 cm 50km
When people draw maps, they draw them much smaller than the area of land or sea the maps show. Maps are nearly always drawn to scale. Different scales are used to draw different types of map.
A large-scale map shows a small area in a lot of detail. It is the kind of map you might use if you are out walking. A small-scale map shows a large area in less detail. Who would use this type of map
Map symbols (标志)
The things that maps show are shown by symbols. Some symbols are tiny pictures. Others are letters, such as “B” for bridge or “P” for car park. Most maps have a key to tell you what these different symbols mean. There are no rules about what colours are used on maps, but map-makers use the same colours for the same things. Water is usually blue, for example, and forests are green.

There was once a beautiful girl who lived in a small village. Her father was a shoemaker. One day, a foreign army came to the village. A soldier (士兵) got to know the girl, fell in love with her and they got married.
There was once a small boy who lived with his 12 brothers and sisters on a farm. They were so poor that they couldn’t afford to go to school. The children had to work to support their family. One day, a famous teacher came to
visit. He noticed that one boy was very smart. He took him to the city and helped him get better education. Later, the boy became a leader of the army.

IS SUCCESS ABOUT LEARNING OR SHOWING YOU’RE SMART
Benjamin once said, “I don’t divide (分) the world into the weak and the strong, or the successes and the failures. I divide the world into the learners and nonlearners.”
What would make someone a nonlearner Everyone is born with an intense drive (驱动力) to learn. Babies practise their skills daily, even the most difficult tasks of a lifetime, like learning to walk and talk. They never think it’s too hard. Babies don’t worry about making mistakes. They walk, they fall and they get up. They just move forward.
What could put an end to this kind of learning The fixed mindset (固定的思维模式). As soon as children become able to evaluate (评价) themselves, some of them become afraid of hard tasks. They become afraid of not being smart. I have studied thousands of students, and you can’t believe how many people refuse a chance to learn.
We offered four-year-olds a choice: They could redo an easy task or they could try a harder one. Even at this age, children with the fixed mindset — stuck with the safe one. Children with the growth mindset-the ones who believed you could get smarter by learning — thought it was a strange choice. Why are you asking me this Why would anyone want to keep doing the same task over and over They chose one hard one after another. “I’m dying to solve them!” one little girl said.
So children with the fixed mindset want to make sure they are successful. Smart people should always be successful. But for children with the growth mindset, success is about practising themselves. It’s about learning to become smarter.
One seventh-grade girl made a conclusion. “I think being smart is something you have to work for … it isn’t just given to you … Most kids, if they’re not sure of an answer, will not raise their hand to answer the question. But what I usually do is to raise my hand, because if I’m wrong, then my mistake will be corrected. Just by doing that I’m improving my ability.”
1. What does the writer want to tell by using the example of babies in Paragraph 2
A. Walking and talking are very difficult. B. It’s easy for babies to learn different skills.
C. People are born with abilities to learn. D. Babies need to face many tasks every day.
2. Which of the following is a fixed mindset according to the passage
A. Being happy with his own growth. B. Working hard and being thirsty to learn.
C. Avoiding showing how smart he is. D. Being afraid of facing different failures.
3. What does the girl mean by saying “I’m dying to solve them!”
A. She can’t wait to give herself a task to practise.
B. She thinks a healthy body can help learn better.
C. She believes it’s painful to solve the problems.
D. She doesn’t find it difficult to finish these tasks.
4. What’s the main purpose of the passage
A. Be a good learner in babyhood. B. Stay active when facing difficulties.
C. Show the importance of success. D. Make decisions and choices carefully.
【答案】CDAB
【解析】
1. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Everyone is born with an intense drive (驱动力) to learn.（每个人生来都有强烈的学习的驱动力。）”可知，作者想通过第2段中婴儿的例子来说明人天生就有学习的能力。故选C。
2. 细节理解题。根据第三段What could put an end to this kind of learning The fixed mindset (固定的思维模式). As soon as children become able to evaluate (评价) themselves, some of them become afraid of hard tasks. They become afraid of not being smart.（怎样才能结束这种学习呢？固定的思维模式。一旦孩子们能够评价自己，他们中的一些人就会害怕艰巨的任务。他们开始害怕自己不够聪明。）”可知，D选项“害怕面对不同的失败”属于固定的思维模式。故选D。
3. 语义猜测题。根据第四段“Even at this age, children with the fixed mindset — stuck with the safe one. Children with the growth mindset-the ones who believed you could get smarter by learning — thought it was a strange choice. Why are you asking me this Why would anyone want to keep doing the same task over and over They chose one hard one after another. “I’m dying to solve them!” one little girl said. （拥有成长型思维的孩子——那些相信你可以通过学习变得更聪明的孩子——认为这是一个奇怪的选择。你为什么问我这个？为什么会有人想要一遍又一遍地做同样的工作呢？他们一个接一个地艰难地选择。一个小女孩说：“我非常想解决这些问题！）”可知，女孩这样说表明她迫不及待地想给自己一个练习的任务。故选A。
4. 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“‘I think being smart is something you have to work for … it isn’t just given to you … Most kids, if they’re not sure of an answer, will not raise their hand to answer the question. But what I usually do is to raise my hand, because if I’m wrong, then my mistake will be corrected. Just by doing that I’m improving my ability.’（我认为聪明是你必须努力争取的，而不是天生的。大多数孩子，如果他们不确定答案，不会举手回答问题。但我通常做的是举手，因为如果我错了，我的错误就会被纠正。通过这样做，我提高了自己的能力。）以及通读全文可知，作者写这篇文章是为了告诉我们面对困难时要保持积极主动。故选B。
D
Though Sylvia had grown up among tall buildings and busy streets, she had recently found herself more at home in the Maine countryside, where she had come to help her aging grandmother. She let the cow out to walk in the nearby fields every morning and led it back home in the evenings, staying with the woods and her animal neighbours every day.
One evening, when Sylvia walked back home from the fields, she saw a stranger coming out of the forest. When the man reached her, he explained that he was quite interested in collecting rare birds and was searching for the white heron (苍鹭) nested (筑巢) in the area according to his book. He asked if he could stay at her house. Though Sylvia was a little bit worried, she led him to her grandmother.
Over dinner, Sylvia’s grandmother told the man how her son had loved making friends with animals while he enjoyed living in the wild and that Sylvia was just the same. On hearing the news, the man offered Sylvia a lot of money to help him find the white heron, telling that he planned to shoot (打猎) and put it into his collection. Sylvia knew her grandmother had little savings, so she accepted.
The next day, Sylvia and the man searched the forest for the white heron, but they came back empty-handed. At first, Sylvia was afraid of the man’s shooting and collection plan. With some time passing by, she was surprised to find that he was a person with a warm heart and rich knowledge of birds. The two led the cow home together in the afternoon.
Just before bed, Sylvia remembered that one tree in the forest stood taller than the rest. If she managed to climb it, she would surely find the heron’s nest below. The thought made her so excited that she couldn’t sleep. She finally got out of house in the early morning to find the heron before the man awoke.
Reaching the top of the tree was a success in itself, but nothing was more amazing than the moment Sylvia truly saw the heron. High as a bird, she felt she and the heron were one, and she suddenly realized she couldn’t be part of its death. The man was waiting for her when she returned home, but she refused to help him any longer.
Later, Sylvia wondered whether giving up the money — and the man’s friendship — was really worth (值得) the heron’s life, but the treasures she might have gained were easily forgotten among the beauty of the wild.

【答案】BACD
【解析】《白鹭》这篇短文主要讲述了西尔维娅在缅因州乡村帮助年迈的祖母时，遇到了一位寻找稀有鸟类的陌生人。这位陌生人请求西尔维娅帮助他找到一只白色的鹭鸟以便射杀并收藏。虽然最初西尔维娅因为金钱答应了他的请求，但在真正看到白鹭的那一刻，她意识到自己不能成为杀害这只美丽生灵的一部分，于是拒绝了继续帮助这位陌生人。
