人教版八年级下册英语Unit1 Time to relax 阅读理解专项训练 难度系数：★★★★ 一、阅读判断（Reading Judgment） 要求：根据短文内容判断句子正（T）误（F）. （一）My Relaxing Weekend Routine As a Grade 8 student, I am busy with my lessons from Monday to Friday, so the weekend is my most precious time to relax. I never get up early on weekends—I usually wake up at 9 a.m. and have a slow breakfast with my family. After breakfast, I don’t do any homework at once. Instead, I spend one hour reading my favorite storybooks in the study. Reading makes me forget all my study pressure and feel calm. At noon, I help my mom cook lunch. It’s not only a way to thank her, but also a great way to relax my hands and brain. In the afternoon, I usually go out with my best friend. Sometimes we ride bikes in the park, sometimes we play badminton on the playground, and sometimes we just walk around the street and chat. We always talk about our school life, hobbies and dreams, which makes me feel very happy. In the evening, I watch a funny cartoon or a light movie with my parents. I go to bed at 10 p.m., which is a little later than school days, but still very regular. This weekend routine makes me relax well and get enough energy for the new week. I think it’s very important for students to have a proper way to relax after busy study. ( ) 1. The writer is a Grade 8 student who is busy with study on school days. ( ) 2.

Many people think listening to music is just for fun, but in fact, it has many unexpected benefits for teenagers’ body and mind. First, listening to soft music can help teenagers reduce stress. When you feel tired after a long day of study, putting on a pair of earphones and listening to some gentle music can make your brain relax quickly, and your bad mood will disappear soon. Second, music can improve your concentration. Some studies show that listening to light instrumental music when doing homework can help students focus better on their lessons and finish their homework faster. Third, listening to music can also develop teenagers’ imagination. When you listen to music, your brain will create different pictures and scenes according to the melody, which is good for your creative thinking. However, not all music is good for relaxation. Loud rock music with fast beats will make your heart beat faster and make you more excited instead of relaxed. Also, it’s not a good idea to listen to music for too long—more than 2 hours a day will hurt your ears. So teenagers should choose the right music and control the time when listening to music to relax. ( ) 1. Listening to music is a popular relaxation way among teenagers. ( ) 2. Listening to music only brings fun and has no other benefits for teenagers. ( ) 3. Soft music can help teenagers reduce stress and improve their mood. ( ) 4. All kinds of music can help students focus better on their homework. ( ) 5. Teenagers should listen to music for more than 2 hours a day to relax well. 二、阅读选择（Reading Multiple Choice） 要求：阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。 （一）How to Balance Study and Relaxation For middle school students, study is the main task, but proper relaxation is also very important. Without good relaxation, students will feel tired and stressed, and their study efficiency will drop a lot. However, some students don’t know how to balance study and relaxation—some of them spend all their time on study and have no time to relax, while others are too lazy to study and spend too much time on playing games or watching TV. So how to balance study and relaxation? Here is some useful advice from a teacher. First, make a reasonable schedule. You can make a daily plan that includes study time and relaxation time.

Don’t choose relaxation ways that will make you more tired, such as playing mobile games for a long time. Instead, you can choose reading, doing sports, drawing or talking with family and friends. Third, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. If you can’t finish your homework on time, don’t worry too much. You can ask your teacher for help tomorrow. Remember, the purpose of relaxation is to get more energy for study. Balancing study and relaxation is a skill that every middle school student should learn.

I like reading all k 1 of books, such as storybooks, science books and history books. I usually read for one hour every day after finishing my homework. I think reading is a perfect way to relax because it can take me to different worlds and make me f 2 all my worries and pressure from study. When I read storybooks, I can imagine that I am the main character in the story and experience different adventures. When I read science books, I can learn many interesting facts about nature and the world, which makes me curious about everything around me. When I read history books, I can know about the stories of ancient people and learn valuable lessons from them. Reading is not only a way to relax, but also a way to improve myself. It can i 3 my vocabulary and writing skills, and it also makes me more knowledgeable. I usually read in my small study. It’s a quiet place with a big window. When I read there, I can hear the birds singing outside and feel the soft wind through the window. It’s a very c 4 feeling. I often tell my classmates to read more books in their free time. Because reading is a healthy and meaningful way to relax. It’s better than playing mobile games or watching TV for a long time. I hope more and more students can fall in l 5 with reading and make it a part of their life. k______ 2. f______ 3. i______ 4. c______ 5. l______ （二）Doing Sports to Relax For many teenagers, doing sports is a great way to relax. Unlike staying at home, doing sports can make us move our b 1 and breathe fresh air, which is good for both our body and mind. I like doing sports very much, and my favorite sport is running. I usually run in the park near my home every evening after dinner. Running is a simple sport and it doesn’t need any special equipment. I just need a pair of comfortable sports shoes. When I run, I can feel my heart beat fast and the sweat run down my face. At first, I feel a little tired, but after 10 minutes, I will feel very relaxed. All the bad mood and study pressure will disappear with the sweat. Running also makes me keep healthy—I haven’t got a cold for a long time b 2 of it. Besides running, I also play table tennis with my father on weekends. It’s a fun sport that needs teamwork and skill. When I play table tennis with my father, I not only relax my body, but also s 3 a happy time with him. It makes our father-son relationship closer. However, we need to pay attention to some things when doing sports to relax. First, we should do warm-up exercises before sports to a 4 getting hurt. Second, we shouldn’t do sports too hard. The purpose is to relax, not to make ourselves more tired. Third, we should choose the right time and place. It’s not a good idea to do sports in the hot sun or on the wet ground. Doing sports is a healthy and exciting way to relax. It can make us strong, happy and full of energy. I hope every teenager can choose a sport they like and make it a part of their r 5 relaxation. b______ 2. b______ 3. s______ 4. a______ 5. r______ 四、回答问题（Reading Comprehension Questions） （一）A Relaxing Trip to the Countryside Last month, I had a two-day trip to the countryside with my family, and it was the most relaxing trip I have ever had. We went to a small village in the mountains, which is far away from the noisy city. The village is very beautiful—there are green mountains, clear rivers and fresh air everywhere. We lived in a small farmhouse run by a local family. The house is clean and warm, and the food there is all homemade, like fresh vegetables from their garden, eggs from their chickens and fish from the river. It’s much more delicious than the food in the city. On the first day, we walked along the river and picked some wild flowers by the bank. We also fed the chickens and ducks in the farmhouse. In the afternoon, we climbed the small mountain near the village. We talked and laughed all the way, and when we got to the top, we could see the whole village. The scenery was amazing. In the evening, we sat in the yard and watched the stars. There are no bright lights in the countryside, so the stars are very bright and many. We also listened to the sound of crickets and frogs, which is a special music of nature. On the second day, we helped the local family pick apples in their orchard. It was a little tiring, but we had a great time. Before we left, the local family gave us a lot of fresh apples and vegetables. This trip made me relax a lot. I forgot all my study pressure and felt very close to nature. I think going to the countryside is a perfect way to relax for city students. Who did the writer go to the countryside trip with? What is the small village in the mountains like? What did the writer and his family do on the first day afternoon? Why can people see many bright stars in the countryside at night? What did the writer think of this countryside trip? （二）Relaxing with Family Nowadays, many teenagers are busy with study and after-school classes, and they spend less and less time with their family. They usually relax by playing mobile phones or computer games alone, but in fact, relaxing with family is the warmest and most meaningful way to relax. It can not only make us relax our body and mind, but also make our family relationship closer. There are many simple and happy ways to relax with family. First, having a family dinner together every day is a good way. During the dinner, we can talk about our day, share our happiness and worries with each other. It’s a great time to communicate with family. Second, watching a movie or a TV show together on weekends is also a good choice. We can sit on the sofa and eat some snacks, and talk about the movie or show after watching it. Third, doing some family activities together, like going for a walk in the park, planting flowers at home or cooking food together. These activities can make us spend happy time with family and relax at the same time. 14-year-old Zhang Min says that she used to relax by playing mobile phones alone in her room after study. She seldom talked with her parents, and their relationship was not very close. Later, her mother asked her to cook dinner with her every evening. At first, she was not willing to, but after a few days, she found it very interesting. She learned how to cook some simple dishes, and she could talk with her mother while cooking. Now, she feels very close to her mother, and cooking with her mother has become her favorite way to relax. She says this way of relaxation is much better than playing mobile phones alone. Relaxing with family is a precious experience. It’s free, warm and full of love. Every teenager should spend more time with family and relax with them. Why do many teenagers spend less time with their family now? What is the warmest and most meaningful way to relax according to the passage?
