2026年课时A计划八年级英语下册外研版第51页答案
Ⅱ. 阅读理解 
Do you expect to be successful in everything you do? If so, then how? Here is an example.
There was a farmer who grew corn all his life. Each year he took his corn to the market. Then each time his corn was chosen as the best and won the first prize.
One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learnt something surprising about how he grew it. The farmer offered his seed corn to his neighbours.
“How can you share your best seed corn with your neighbours?” the reporter asked. “You know they are taking part in the competition with you every year.” “Didn’t you know?” said the farmer. “The wind picks up pollen (花粉) from the corn and moves it quickly from field to field. If my neighbours grow bad corn, cross - pollination will affect (影响) the quality of my corn. So if I want to grow good corn, I must help my neighbours to grow good corn.” The newspaper reporter laughed after hearing that.
This is the truth about life. You can’t improve your corn if your neighbours’ corn doesn’t improve. As a great man says, “We make a living by what we grow; we make a life by what we give.” We can’t live without food, clothes and many other things. But a meaningful life is not decided by how much we can get, but by how much we can give others. Giving instead of getting makes us different from other animals.
So if you choose to live well, you must help others to live well; if you choose to be happy, you must help others to find happiness in their life.

解析

【分析】
这是一篇围绕“分享与帮助”主题的英语阅读理解题,共设置4道小题,分别考查细节理解、人物情绪推断、主旨句含义理解、观点匹配。解题时需先通读全文把握核心主旨,再针对各小题定位原文关键信息,结合语境逐一分析选项,排除干扰项得出正确答案。
【解析】
1. 第1题(细节理解题):根据原文第三段“The farmer offered his seed corn to his neighbours.”可知,农民为帮助邻居,将自己的玉米种子提供给他们,对应选项B。A选项“教邻居种玉米的方法”、C选项“分享一等奖”、D选项“帮邻居在市场卖玉米”原文均未提及,故答案为B。
2. 第2题(人物情绪推断题):根据原文第四段“learnt something surprising about how he grew it.”可知记者最初感到惊讶;再由第四段最后一句“The newspaper reporter laughed after hearing that.”可知记者听完后笑了,情绪变为开心,对应选项D。A、B、C选项的情绪变化均不符合原文,故答案为D。
3. 第3题(主旨句理解题):划线句意为“我们靠所种的谋生,靠所给的创造生活”,强调帮助他人的重要性。选项A“己欲立而立人,己欲达而达人”(自己要站稳也要帮助别人站稳,自己要顺遂也要帮助别人顺遂)与划线句含义一致;B强调学习与思考的关系,C强调实践的重要性,D强调听取长辈建议,均不符合,故答案为A。
4. 第4题(观点匹配题):农民的核心观点是帮助他人才能让自己更好。选项B“志愿者给贫困家庭送新鲜面包”是帮助他人的行为,符合其观点;A拒绝分享、C保留技能、D高价卖食品均不符合,故答案为B。
