初中英语阅读理解训练及参考答案(通用9篇)

初中英语阅读理解训练及参考答案(通用9篇)中考英语阅读理解及解析篇一Advertisers Perform a Useful Service to the CommunityAdvertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they’re always coming in for criticism. Their critics seem to resent them because they have a flair for self-promotion and because they have so much money to throw around. ‘It’s iniquitous,’ they say, ‘that this entirely unproductive industry (if we can call it that) should absorb millions of pounds each year. It only goes to show how much profit the big companies are making. Why don’t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it’s the consumer who pays…’The poor old consumer! He’d have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn’t create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods derives largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement.Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway byelaws while waiting for a train? Would you like to read only closely printed columns of news in your daily paper? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a drab wall or a newspaper full of the daily ration of calamities.We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. Newspapers, commercial radio and television companies could not subsist without this source of revenue. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmes is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!Another thing we mustn’t forget is the ‘small ads.’ which are in virtually every newspaper and magazine. What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the ‘hatch, match and dispatch’ column but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or ‘agony’ column. No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It’s the best advertisement for advertising there is!1. What is main idea of this passage?A. Advertisement.B. The benefits of advertisement.C. Advertisers perform a useful service to communities.D. The costs of advertisement.2. The attitude of the author toward advertisers isA. appreciative.B. trustworthy.C. critical.D. dissatisfactory.3. Why do the critics criticize advertisers?A. Because advertisers often brag.B. Because critics think advertisement is a “waste of money”。

During my stay, he showed me around the city and took me to many interesting places.One day, uncle John suggested that we visit the British Museum. I agreed eagerly as I had heard so much about it. The museum was huge and full of ancient artifacts and treasures from all over the world. Uncle John and I spent hours walking through the different galleries, admiring the beautiful sculptures, paintings, and historical artifacts.As we wandered through the museum, we came across a section dedicated to ancient Egypt. I was fascinated by the mummies and the story behind them. Uncle John explained the process of mummification and the belief in the afterlife held by the ancient Egyptians. It was truly an eye-opening experience for me.After visiting the British Museum, we went to a nearby park and enjoyed a relaxing picnic. Uncle John asked me about my favorite part of the museum, and I shared my fascination with the ancient Egyptian artifacts. We continued to talk about history and culture, making it a memorable day.This trip to the British Museum not only allowed me to see incredible artifacts but also deepened my interest in history. I am grateful to have had such a wonderful experience with my uncle, who not only shared his knowledge but also made the visit enjoyable and educational.阅读理解二:Shopping is a popular activity in many countries. However, different cultures have different shopping habits.In Western countries, shopping malls and supermarkets are common. People there often go shopping once or twice a week to buy groceries and other household items. They are used to self-service and enjoy browsing through different products themselves. In Western countries, shopping is often seen as a recreational activity as well, where people can spend a whole day visiting different stores and shopping centers.In contrast, in Asian countries like China and Japan, traditional markets and small shops are still popular. People there prefer to buy fresh produce and ingredients on a daily basis. Many Asian countries also have street vendors and night markets, where people can find a variety of street food and snacks. In these cultures, bargaining is also common, and people enjoy haggling with the sellers to get the best price.Furthermore, online shopping has become increasingly popular worldwide. With the development of technology, people can now order products online and have them delivered to their doorstep. This convenience has changed the way people shop, allowing them to compare prices, read reviews, and make purchases without leaving their homes.Shopping habits are influenced by various factors, including culture, lifestyle, and technological advancements. Understanding and appreciating different shopping habits can help us learn more about a culture and enhance our cross-cultural understanding. Whether it's browsing through a Westernsupermarket or bargaining at an Asian market, shopping can be both a practical and cultural experience.。

He stopped the meeting an asked everyone what would happen if Sony took away the recording function and speakers and sold headphones with a tape player instead. Almost everyone thought he was silly. However Ibuka kept his idea and worked at it. The result, of course, turned out to be the successful Sony Walkman.Good ideas often start with a really silly question. Bill Bowerman was making breakfast one day. As he stood there making cakes for his son, he asked himself what would happen if he put rubber into his mold(模具) Later, he tried it and the result was something like the bottom of most sports shoes we see today. Still, when he took his idea to several shoe companies, he was laughed at. In fact, every single company turned him down. Though rather disappointed, Bowerman went on to form his own company, making NIKE sports shoes.We know today, of course, that each of these ideas caused a successful thing that has changed the way many of us live. The best questions are usually open-ended and are often silly. Children aren't afraid to ask such questions, but adults usually are. Think how different the world might be if people never asked "silly" questions!(1)At first, almost everyone thought Masaru's idea was _______.A. goodB. easyC. sillyD. difficult(2)Bill Bowerman got his idea _______.A. at a meetingB. while he was making breakfastC. from another companyD. while he was making sports shoes(3)What might the underlined phrase "turn down" mean?A. refuseB. welcomeC. acceptD. hate(4)Bowerman felt very disappointed because _______.A. he didn't make a cake for his sonB. he had to set up his own companyC. his idea was hard to come trueD. no companies accepted his idea【答案】(1)C(2)B(3)A(4)D【解析】【分析】大意:本文举例说明好想法的产生刚开始会被认为是一个愚蠢的问题,刚开始索尼公司的负责人井深在公司规划会议上提出,拿走录音功能和扬声器和专注于出售带有磁带录音机的头式耳机,几乎所有人都认为他是愚蠢的,不过,井深保持自己的想法和工作,当然,结果是成功的索尼随身听的问世。

初中英语阅读理解初二英语阅读理解100篇初中英语阅读理解篇1每个国家都有各自的文化习惯,而这种文化上的差异往往会引起一定的误会,不过只要熟悉对方的风俗习惯做到入乡随俗,一切就OK啦!When my family moved to America in 2021 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect(尊敬) elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young.

1When you’re invited to have dinner in a foreigner’s home, please remember the following:At table, when the hostess (女主人)picks up her napkin(餐巾),you may pick up yours and put it on your legs.If a servant(佣人) passes food around, he will pass the dish to you at your left hand so that you can easily serve yourself with your right hand. Never serve yourself while the dish is on your right; it is then the turn of your neighbour on the right.Do not reach across the table or in front of someone to get something---that is not polite. Ask him or her to pass it to you.There are things in the middle of the table, such as bread, butter, and candies. You shouldn’t take any until the hostess tells the servant to pass them to you.Do not leave your seat without saying anything. If you need to leave the table to go to the washroom or do something else, you should say “Excuse me for a moment, please.”41. You should put your napkin on your legs before the hostess picks up hers.42. The dish is passed to you on either of your sides.43. If the food is far from you, you shouldn’t stand up to serve yourself.44. You may take any food at any time.45.

But they are quite different from almost all land animals. Their brain(大脑)is as big as men’s and they live a long life---- at least 20 or 30 years.Like some animals, dolphins use sounds to help them find their way around. They also use these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. They do not use their ears to receive sounds, but use the jaw--- the lower part of the mouth.It is strange that dolphins are friendly to men, and for thousands of years, there are many stories about dolphins and men. In the 19th century, in a dangerous part of the sea near New Zealand, there was a dolphin. The seamen liked him very much and gave him a very good name, Jack. From 1871 to 1903, Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. In 1903 a passenger on a boat with the name of The Penguin shot and hurt Jack. Luckily the dolphin didn’t die, and after a long time he was well again. He guided the ships through the area for nine more years, but he refused to help theboat The Penguin.Today, some people still kill dolphins, but many countries in the world now protect them. In these places, people are not allowed to kill them.46. The word jaw means _______ in Chinese.A. 下颚B. 嘴巴C. 嘴唇D. 鼻子47. How do dolphins find their way?A. They use their noses to smell the way.B.

People always laughed at him. No one showed kindness to him.His only friend was a dog named Tige. He gave his dog enough to eat and drink, but sometimes he was not polite to it. He didn’t know that an unkind work sometimes could cut one’s heart like a knife.One day as he walked down the street, a young lady was walking in front of him. Suddenly one of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped to pick it up, she dropped other bags. He came to help her. “Thank you, dear!

He watched her until she went far away, and then he whistled (吹口哨)to his dog and went directly to the river nearby.“Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” he repeated(重复) the woman’s words. Then in a low voice he said to his dog, “You are a nice little dog!” Tige raised its ears as if it understood.“Uhum! Even a dog likes it!” he said, “Well, Tige, I won’t say unkind words to you any more.” Tige waved its tail happily.The boy thought and thought. Finally he looked at himself in the river. He saw nothing but a dirty boy. He washed his face carefully. Again he looked. He saw a clean nice boy. He was amazed. From then on, he had a new life.After telling this, the businessman stopped for a while, and then he said, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is the very place where that kind woman planted in me the first seed(种子) of kindness.

And he loves it.Arthur Bonner works with the Palos Verdes blue butterfly(蝴蝶), once thought to have died out. T oday the butterfly is coming back —thanks to him. But years ago if you’d told him this was what he’d be doing someday, he would have laughed, “ You’re crazy.” As a boy, he used to be “ a little tough guy on the streets”. At age thirteen, he was caught by police stealing. At eighteen, he landed in prison for shooting a man.“ I knew it had hurt my mom,” Bonner said after he got out of prison. “ So I told myself I would not put my mom through that pain again.”One day he met Professor Mattoni, who was working to rebuild the habitat(栖息地) for an endangered butterfly called El Segundo blue.“ I saw the sign ‘ Butterfly Habitat’ and asked, ‘ How can you have a habitat when the butterflies can just fly away?’” Bonner recalls. “ Dr. Mattoni laughed and handed me a magnifying glass(放大镜) , ‘Look at the leaves.’ I could see all these caterpillars(蝴蝶的幼虫) on the plant. Dr Mattoni explained, ‘ Without the plant, there are no butterflies.’”Weeks later, Bonner received a call from Dr. Mattoni, who told him there was a butterfly needed help. That was how he metthe Palos Verdes blue. Since then he’s been working for four years to help bring the butterfly back. He grows astragalus, the only plant the butterfly eats. He collects butterflies and brings them into a lab to lay eggs. Then he puts new butterflies into the habitat.The butterfly’s population, once almost zero, is now up to 900. For their work, Bonner and Dr. Mattoni received lots of awards. But for Bonner, he earned something more: he turned his life around.For six years now Bonner has kept his promise to stay out of prison.

They were asked to get a good nights sleep for two nights.A week later, they were asked to sleep for only four hours every night fortwo nights in a row.The researchers took make-up free (素颜) photos of the volunteers after boththe good and the bad sleep.Next, they asked 122 strangers to have a look at the photos and judge (评价)them on attractiveness, health, and sleepiness, as well as asking them: Howmuch would you like to make friends with this person in the picture?The strangers were good at judging if the person they were looking at wastired, and, if they were sleepy, their attractiveness score was low.The strangers also said they wouldnt want to socialize with the tiredstudents. The researchers say this is natural for people. An unhealthy-lookingface makes people run away. In other words, people dont want to hang aroundwith people whomight be ill.Dr. Brewer, an expert at the University of Liverpool said Judgement ofattractiveness is often unconscious (无意识的), hut we all do it, and we are able tojudge on even something small like whether someone looks tired or unhealthy.This study is a good reminder of how important sleep is to us.35.

We see it any place we go and,in fact,almostall of us carry some piece oftechnology with us every time we leave the house.What I always forget,though,is just how useful andpowerful technology can bewhen we want to help othersThere is not a single room in my house that does not have some electronicdevices(设备) lying around init. Whenever I am at home,I am almost always usingat least one electronic device.If you walked into myliving room on any givenday,you would find that,first,I have the television on. At the same time,Iusuallyhave my laptop resting on my knee,or I will be using my mobile phone,Even when im not at home I amalways using my phone,and at work or in cafes,Isit down and connect to the local wireless network on myipcop.I must say that I waste a lot of time on the computer and the time I spendon it could be much betterspent if I were to take up a little onlinevolunteeringThe technology we carry about everywhere can have a great power to do goodfor the world and to helpothers and recentlyI discovered just how much onlinevolunteering there is to doin the world. From usingyour language skills to dotranslations,to developing and managing projects and helping with IT work,thereis so much that so many people can do to help people in their own countriesand across the world. The UnitedNations,in fact,has a huge page withVolunteers Recruited on its website. This work can support the poor and help charities who cannot pay for staff.Many organizations onlyrequire you to work an hour a week-some even less.

What can be the best title for the passage?A. Website DesignB. Internet OrganizationsC. Online VolunteeringD. Online Translation英语阅读理解篇20Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. The worlds environment is surprisingly healthy. Discuss. If that were an examination topic, most students would tear it apart, offering a long list of complaints: from local smog(烟雾)to global climate change, from the felling(砍伐)of forests to the extinction of species. The list would largely be accurate, the concern legitimate. Yet the students who should be giventhe highest marks would actually be those who agreed with the statement. The surprise is how good things are, not how bad. After all, the worlds population has more than tripled during this century, and world output has risen hugely, so you would expect the earth itself to have been affected. Indeed, if people lived, consumed and produced things in the same way as they did in 1900 , the world by now would be a pretty disgusting place: smelly, dirty, toxic and dangerous.But they dont. The reasons why they dont, and why the environment has not been ruined, have to do with prices, technological innovation, social change and government regulation in response to popular pressure. That is why todays environmental problems in the poor countries ought, in principle, to be solvable.Raw materials have not run out, and show no sign of doing so. Logically, one day they must: the planet is a finite place. Yet it is also very big, and man is very ingenious. What has happened is that every time a material seems to be running short, the price has risen and, in response, people have looked for new sources of supply, tried to find ways to use less of the materials, or looked for a new substitute. For this reason prices for energy and for minerals have fallen in real termsduring the century. The same is true for food. Prices fluctuate, in response to harvests, natural disasters and political instability; and when they rise, it takes some time before new sources of supply become available. But they always do, assisted by new farming and crop technology. The long-term trend has been downwards.。

1When you’re invited to have dinner in a foreigner’s home, please remember the following:At table, when the hostess (女主人)picks up her napkin(餐巾),you may pick up yours and put it on your legs.If a servant(佣人) passes food around, he will pass the dish to you at your left hand so that you can easily serve yourself with your right hand. Never serve yourself while the dish is on your right; it is then the turn of your neighbour on the right.Do not reach across the table or in front of someone to get something---that is not polite. Ask him or her to pass it to you.There are things in the middle of the table, such as bread, butter, and candies. You shouldn’t take any until the hostess tells the servant to pass them to you.Do not leave your seat without saying anything. If you need to leave the table to go to the washroom or do something else, you should say “Excuse me for a moment, please.”41. You should put your napkin on your legs before the hostess picksup hers.42. The dish is passed to you on either of your sides.43. If the food is far from you, you shouldn’t stand up to serve yourself.44. You may take any food at any time.45.

But they are quite different from almost all land animals. Their brain(大脑)is as big as men’s and they live a long life---- at least 20 or 30 years.Like some animals, dolphins use sounds to help them find their way around. They also use these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. They do not use their ears to receive sounds, but use the jaw--- the lower part of the mouth.It is strange that dolphins are friendly to men, and for thousands of years, there are many stories about dolphins and men. In the 19th century, in a dangerous part of the sea near New Zealand, there was a dolphin. The seamen liked him very much and gave him a very good name, Jack. From 1871 to 1903, Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. In 1903 a passenger on a boat with the name of The Penguin shot and hurt Jack. Luckily the dolphin didn’t die, and after a long time he was well again. He guided the ships through the area for nine more years, but he refused to help the boat The Penguin.Today, some people still kill dolphins, but many countries in the world now protect them. In these places, people are not allowed to kill them.46. The word jaw means _______ in Chinese.A. 下颚B. 嘴巴C. 嘴唇D. 鼻子47. How do dolphins find their way?A. They use their noses to smell the way.B.

Dolphins don’t live in groups.C. Dolphins are kind and friendly to people.D. Dolphins can live a long life.3Jim, a successful businessman, told the experience of his childhood.When he was 12, his parents died. He was alone and didn’t get on well with others. People always laughed at him. No one showed kindness to him.His only friend was a dog named Tige. He gave his dog enough to eat and drink, but sometimes he was not polite to it. He didn’t know that an unkind work sometimes could cut one’s heart like a knife.One day as he walked down the street, a young lady was walking in front of him. Suddenly one of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped to pick it up, she dropped other bags. He came to help her. “Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” she said kindly, smiling.A special feeling came to him. These were the first kind words he had ever heard. He watched her until she went far away, and then he whistled (吹口哨)to his dog and went directly to the river nearby.“Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” he repeated(重复)the woman’s words. Then in a low voice he said to his dog, “You are a nice little dog!” Tige raised its ears as if it understood.“Uhum! Even a dog likes it!” he said, “Well, Tige, I won’t say unkind words to you any more.” Tige waved its tail happily.The boy thought and thought. Finally he looked at himself in the river. He saw nothing but a dirty boy. He washed his face carefully. Again he looked. He saw a clean nice boy. He was amazed. From then on, he had a new life.After telling this, the businessman stopped for a while, and then he said, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is the very place where that kind woman planted in me the first seed(种子) of kindness.
