初中三年级英语阅读阅读理解及答案解析(二)Babies love chocolate and sometimes they also eat the paper around it. My cat enjoys a meal of good, thick paper, old letters, for example. She does not like newspapers very muchOf course, the best paper comes from wood. Wood comes from trees, and trees are plants. Vegetables and fruit are plants, too, and we eat a lot of them. So can we also eat wood and paper?Scientists say, "All food comes in some way from plants." Well, is that true? Animals eat grass and grow fat. Then we eat their meat. Little fish eat little sea-plants, then bigger fish swim along and eat the ……Chickens eat bits of grass and give us…… Think for a minute. What food does not come from plants in some way?Scientists can do wonderful things with plants. They can make food just like meat and cheese. And they can make it without the help of animals. It is very good food, too. Now they have begun to say, "We make our paper from wood. We can also make food from wood. The next thing is not very difficult." What is the next thing? Perhaps it is-food from paper. Scientists say, "We can turn paper into food. It will be good, cheap food, too, cheaper than meat or fish or eggs."So please keep your old books and letters. (Don't feed [喂] your cat.) One day, they will be on your plate, if what scientists say may come true.1.

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”。

The most frightening words in the English language are, “Our computer is down.” You hear it more and more when you are in business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I’m sorry, I can’t sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.”“If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”“I can’t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.”I looked down the counter and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do you do?”“We give the computer the information about your trip, and it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”“So when it goes down, you go down with it.”“That’s right, sir.”“How long will the computer be down?” I wanted to know.“I have no idea. Sometimes it’s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There is no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it’s down it won't answer us.”After the girl told me they had no backup(备用的) computers. I said, “Let’s forget the computer. What about your planes? They’re still flying, aren’t they?”“I couldn't tell without asking the computer.”“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot the he’s flying to Washington.”I suggested.“I wouldn't know what gate to sent you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn't take you if you didn't have a ticket.”“Is there any other flight to Washington within the next few hours?”“I wouldn't know,” she said, pointing at the dark screen. “Only 'IT’ knows. 'IT’ can tell me.”By this time there were quiet a few people standing in line. The word spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people left, some people started to cry and still others kicked luggage.在英语语言中最可怕的话是:“我们的电脑出故障了。

初三英语阅读理解百战精炼(一)A wallet misplaced during a romantic embrace has been returned to its forgetful owner after 55 years.Two classic car collectors from the US state of Idaho found the wallet after it fell out of the back of a vintage (旧式的)car they were planning to restore.After an Internet search they found and contacted the owner, Glenn Goodlove.Mr.Goodlove said he probably lost the wallet in the back seat of his 1946 Hudson car while kissing a girl when he was home on leave from the US Navy.Jon Beck, 61, and Chuck Merrill, 72, b ought the now-vintage vehicle in Idaho after placing an ad in a local newspaper to buy a classic car in need of restoration.Driving the car home after buying it, the collectors stopped at a restaurant and saw something from below the back seat."Like a couple of kids, we thought we had a goldmine," Mr.Beck said.Instead, they found some small change - the leather wallet held a $10 bill, Mr.Goodlove's military ID, his social security card, his driver's licen ce and several jewellery receipts from 1952.But they were all in the name of Glenn Putnam.After searching online, Mr.Beck discovered that Mr.Putnam had since changed his name to Glenn Goodlove and moved to San Diego, California.He called Mr.Goodlove, asking to speak to a man who used to drive a '46 Hudson."There was a silence for about 15 seconds," Mr.Beck told the Twin Falls Times-News."Then he said, 'Who is that?'" M r.Goodlove, now 75, says he did not even r emember losing the wallet, but the find has brought memories of his youth in Everett, Washington, flooding back."I could see the house and the car and the town and all the good stuff from living there," he said."They've been flowing ever since he talked to me."56.The lost wallet contained all the following EXCEPT ______.A.some money B.some jewelleryC.some receipts D.some cards57.Which of the following happened last?A.The vintage car was purchased.B.An advertisement was placed.C.Mr.Goodlove's name was changed.D.Some personal belongings were found.58.What difference did the wallet make to Glenn?A.He gained unexpected wealth.B.He got back his lost car as well.C.He improved his poor memory a lot.D.He recalled what had long been forgotten.59.The most proper title for the passage is ______.A.A Forgetful Wallet Owner B.Two Car C ollectors and a Good DeedC.Price Paid for Romance D.Lost Wallet Found after 55 Years阅读理解答案:56—59 BDDD初三英语阅读理解百战精炼(二)Writing being largely a self-taught occupation, texts on how to get about it -though great in number- seldom are of much use.You try, and fail.Then try again, and perhaps fail not quite so grievously.Until at last, if you have some gift for it, the failures become less frequent, or at any rate less noticeable.It is this ability to conceal one's defects(瑕疵)that passes, finally, for accomplishment.Along the way there are the discouragements of unkind criticism, outright rejection, nagging insecurity and irregular inability to meet debts.It is uncommon, therefore, to come across a book containing advice of much practical value for anyone toying with the dangerous idea of staring on a writing l ife.A friend recently loaned me such a book, however - one I wish I'd had the luck to read years ago, and which I would commend to any young person bent on making a career of words.It is the autobiography of the English novelist Anthony Trollope, first published in 1883, the year after hi s death.Needing s ome means to support himself, Trollope at age 19 signed on as a junior clerk in the British postal service.He was at his desk at 5:30 each morning to write for three hours.And he remained in the mail service 33 years, long after reputation and prosperity had come to him.Now, what of his advice?1.For safety's sak e, a rm yourself with some other skills, some other line of work to fall back on.That way, failure at writing, though the disappointment may be keen, will not mean utter ruin.2.Do not depend overly much on inspiration.Writing is a craft, which Trollope compared to the craft of shoemaking.The shoemaker who has just turned out one pair of his work sets to work immediately on the next pair.3.Have a story to tell, but, more important t han that, people it with characters who will speak and move as living creatures in the reader's mind.Without memorable characters, story alone is nothing.4.Meet your deadlines.Life is endlessly "painful and troublesome" for writers who can't finish their work on time.5.Do not be inflated by praise.And, above all, do not be crushed by criticism.6.Understand the risks of writing for a living."The career, when successful, is pleasant enough certainly; but when unsuc cessful, it is of all careers the most painful."60.This passage mainly di scusses _____.A.the difficulties and risks of making a career of wordsB.the uselessness of instructions in writing manualsC.the autobiography of the 19th century English novelist Anthony TrollopeD.sound advice provided in a Trollope's autobiography61.From the context we can figure out that the phrase "pass for" in Paragraph 3 means _____.A.focus on B.be regarded as C.be equal to D.lie in62.According to the author, writing _____.A.is basically a self-taught occupation and few instructions are of much practical useB.is a "trial and error" process and it does not count whether you have the gift or notC.for a living is the most pleasant of all careers, full of praise and enjoymentD.sometimes provides good hopes of winning public praise and escaping poverty63.From the passage we may infer that the author is most probably _____.A.an instructor of writing B.a writerC.an educator D.a publisher阅读理解答案:60—63DBAB初三英语阅读理解百战精炼(三)Schools have been blamed for giving kids access to soda in vending machines (自动售货机).B ut new data suggest that school soft drink sales may not be an important factor in how much soda kids drink.In the current issue of The Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, researchers compared soda consumption among nearly 500 students in Maine who attended seven schools over two school years.Four of the schools cut back on soft drink availability at the schools, while three of the schools made no changes.All the students were drinking less soda by the end of the study period, but there were no meaningfu l differences in overall soft drink consumption among the different schools.The data suggest that limiting soft drink availabi lity at school doesn't result in meaningful changes in drink consumption patterns.While there were no changes in overall soda consumption, there was a notable shift in diet soda drinking among girls.If the school cut back on soda availability, girls were less likely to drink diet soda, compared to girls in schools that made no changes.The data are the latest to suggest that schools may not play as big of a role in kids' poor eating habits as widely believed.Last year, The American Journal of Public Health p ublished a provocative (引起争论的)study showing that childhood weight problems often get worse in the summer, when kids are out o f school.Data from kindergarteners and first graders found that body mass index (指数)increased two to three times as fast in summer as during the regular school year.Minority children were especially at risk, as were children who were already overweight.Even children who were too thin and needed to gain weight appeared to have better eating habits during the school year.They actually gained more weight while in school andless in the summer.Even so, much of the focus on childhood nutrition and obesity (肥胖)remains in the nation 's schools.Today, The Times reported that even the school bake sale is disappearing as districts impose strict standards on the food served on school grounds.64.What can be learned from The Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior?A.Soft drink remains a problem in schools.B.Girls tend to consume less soda at school.C.Soft drinks may not be to blame for eating problems.D.Vending machines are not available in all schools.65.Better eating habits may be best developed _____ _.A.during summer B.on schooldaysC.with less soda availability D.in attempts for weight-gain66.The writer voices his opinion by ______.A.conducting scientific research B.comparing two journalsC.criticizing wrong beliefs D.referring to ready data67.Which of the following can best summarize the passage?A.Schools are to bl ame for kids' nutrition problems.B.Schools have made changes for a better reputation.C.Kids' po or eating habit has little to do with schools.D.A lot has been done regarding kids' nutrition and obesity.阅读理解答案:64-67CBDC初三英语阅读理解百战精炼(四)KISSI HEALTH-BEAUTY CENTERWith a busy life and job, pres sure can make you look tired and aged.Kissi Health-Beauty Center gives classes, makes training plans

widely used by celebrities or public figures who wish to publish their autobiographies (自传).The degree of involvement of the ghostwriter in nonfiction writing projects ranges from minor to significant.Various sources explain the role of the ghostwriter and how competent (能胜任的)writers can get this kind of work.In some cases, a ghostwriter may be called in just to clean up, edit, and polish a rough draft of an autobiography or a "how-to" book.In other cases, the ghostwriter will write an entire book or article based on information, stories, notes, and an outline, interviews with the celebrity or public figure.The credited authors also indicate to the ghostwriter what type of style, tone, or "voice" they want in the book.Celebrity books are usually ghostwritten in the first perso n (I did this and that)or the third person (David Pardon asked the group to recommend someone etc.).In some cases, such as with some "how-to" books, diet guides, or cookbooks, a book will be entirely written by a ghostwriter, and the celebrity (e.g.a well-known musician or sports star)will be credited as author.Publishing companies use this method to increase the marketability of a book by associating it with a celebrity or well-known figure.In several countries before elections, candidates employ ghostwriters to produce autobiographies for them so as to gain visibility and exposure.Two of John F.Ke nnedy's bo oks were almost entirely ghostwritten.Former President Ronald Reagan also released a ghostwritten autobiography.A consultant or career-switcher may pay to have a book ghostwritten on a topic in their professional area, to establish or enhance their credibility as an "expert" in their field.For example, a su ccessful salesperson hopi ng to become an inspiring speaker on selling may pay a ghostwriter to write a book on sales techniques.Often this type of book is published in the vanity press, which means that the author is paying to have the book published.This type of book is typically given away to potential clients (客户)as a promotional tool, rather than being sold in bookstores.72.A ghostwriter does all the following EXCEPT ______ for his client, according to the passage.A.correct a piece of writing B.write a complete bookC.improve a written article D.interview a celebrity73.By using "this method" (paragraph 3), the writer means ______ .A.celebrities may help to increase salesB.celebrities may shift into ghostwritersC.authors may sometimes become celebr itiesD.celebrities may pay publishers for promotion74.It is implied in the passage that ______.A.vanity presses are illegalB.ghostwriters work behind the sceneC.boo ks by ghostwriters don't sellD.celebrities can't do without ghostwriters75.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about ghostwriters?A.People who employ them.B.Responsibilities they take on.C.Challenges their work involves.D.Reasons why they ghostwrite.阅读理解答案:72-75 DABC中考英语阅读理解练习:Christmas EveChristmas Eve means a warm get-together with friends,a candlelight dinner,or perhaps a celebration at a pub(酒馆)for students.But,for Cai Yingjie,the night has a different meaning:helping beggars(乞丐)and the homeless(people without homes).Cai,who is a student in journalism at Tsinghua,could be found at Beijing's Wudaokou Light Railway Station that special evening. When she saw an old beggar,she took the cold,rough hands of the woman with her warm,clean hands,and gave the woman some warm bread and helped her put on a pair of new gloves(手套).The woman was surprised for a few seconds,then burst into tears,saying "for the first time I feel respected(尊重)".Cai said,"A beggar's life is very hard. That's why I want to help them."Cai was one of 14 Tsinghua students spending Christmas Eve among the poor.They walked in the cold wind along the streets from 4 to 7 pm on Friday,visiting 15 beggars in Beijing's Haidian District.They brought bread and gloves with them,and stopped to greet beggars and offer them some of the warm food.Each beggar greeted them with a look of surprise."I know the activity can't help much,but it's meant to show our respect and care for beggars and the homeless who have been neglected for so long,"said Sun,head of the group.“And Christmas is a good time for that.”根据以上短文内容,然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。

初中英语阅读理解10篇(含答案)
When Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502, he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place Costa Rica, which means “rich coast” in Spanish.Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important product in Costa Rica and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries like America and West Germany. Bananas are the country’s second most important export.Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors.Education is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a school and education is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. Boys and girls go to separate (单独的) schools. Classes begin in March and end in November. The other three months of the year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.1. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?A. How Columbus found Costa Rica.B. How Costa Rica got its name.C. What the Costa Ricans wore.D. What language the Costa Ricans spoke.2. The Costa Ricans may NOT paint their houses ______.A. pink and redB. grey and blackC. blue and greenD. yellow and orange3. In Costa Rica, boys and girls between seven and fourteen ______.A. must go to schoolB. study in the same schoolC. do not have to go to school at allD. can choose to stop schooling at any time4. From December to February, school children in Costa Rica ______.A. have lessons every dayB. have their examinationsC. help their parents pick coffee beansD. help their parents decorate their houses5. This passage is mainly about ______.A. Christopher ColumbusB. Costa RicaC. some products from Costa RicaD. the education of Costa RicaChristian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease called beri-beri. He was going there to try and find a cure.At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (细菌) caused beri-beri. He raised some chickens. He didn’t eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate —refined white rice (精炼米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery —that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins (维生素). The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person’s food.Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they don’t, they can also take vitamin pills.6. The underlined word “cure” in Paragragh 1 probably means ______.A. a medical treatmentB. a kind of vitaminC. a kind of germD. a kind of ric7. Christian Eijkman went to the island of Java to ______.A. spend his holidayB. find ways to grow better cropsC. do some research about the islandD. help the Javanese with their illness8. Why did Christian Eijkman raise some chickens?A. To eat them.B. To carry out his experiments.C. To give the Javanese a surprise.D. To make money by selling them.9. If a person doesn’t get enough vitamins in his diet, he’d better ______.A. eat more riceB. eat more meatC. eat some chickenD. eat vitamin pills10. We can learn from the passage that ______.A. beri-beri was caused by chickensB. the Javanese didn’t like vita minsC. Christian Eijkman’s experiment was successfulD. the Javanese’s disease was caused by a kind of germAmerica is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily. Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!11. The writer of this passage must be ______.A. an AmericanB. a ChineseC. a professorD. a student12. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.13. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______.A. warmly welcomed at the airportB. offered a ride to his homeC. treated hospitably at his homeD. treated to dinner in a restaurant14. The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______.A. strict with timeB. serious with timeC. careful with timeD. willing to spend time15. A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”.A. Friendships between ChineseB. Friendships between AmericansC. Americans’ hospitalityD. Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendshipsThe other day I heard a few local musicians talking:“I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can’t even understand a bit of music.”“I’m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.”But, one younger musician said, “There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.”I’ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.Attitu des are important. Whether they’ positive or negative, they’ rubbing off on you. If you’ around re re re people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame (责怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are you will start to as well. So it’s time to take a look at the people you call “friends”.This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard (标准) for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard.Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you’re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.16. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. A friend in need is a friend indeedB. How to make friendship last for everC. Y ou are who your friends areD. Friends are the most important in one’s success17.

The musicians’ words at the beginning are writ ten mainly to show ______.A. the musicians’ living conditions are quite poorB. people have poor taste in musicC. people have different attitudes towards the same thingD. young people have greater chances of succeeding19.

He jumped onto the back, poked (戳) the eyes of the crocodile and finally got his wife free.Ms Pethrick was later taken to Royal Darwin Hospital for a medical treatment. The doctors said she was suffering eight puncture wounds (伤口) in her right leg, a puncture wound in her left leg and a serious cut to one 3 of her fingers.“This coul d have been a fatal and tragic situation,” said the general manager of Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH), Dr Len Notaras, according to a local report.He said Ms Pethrick was saved by her husband’s “quick and diligent actions”.Dr Notaras also said she would remain in hospital for three to four days and have an operation to clean the wounds, which are easy to get infected because of bacteria (细菌) on the teeth of the crocodile.21.

It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called “What Color is Y our Parachute (降落伞)?” by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (职业) since it was first published in nineteen seventy.Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.26. What is the passage mainly about?A. Finding a job.B. College students’ part-time jobs.C. Craigslist Web site.D.

One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two g eese — so one moose, two meese?How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.36. According to the passage ______.A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different thingsB. there should be egg in an eggplantC. pineapples are the apples on the pine treeD. boxing rings should be round37.

Overlook and oversee.C. Quite a lot and quite a few.D. Hot as hell and cold as hell.39.

Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ______.A. cleverB. crazyC. lazyD. dullA friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present.On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office,street urchin was walking around the shining car.this your a “Is car,Paul?”he asked.Paul answered,“Y es,my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised.“Y ou mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you nothing?Boy,I wish…” He hesitated.Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for.was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the He boy said surprised Paul greatly.“I wish,” the boy went on,“that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?”“Oh yes,I'd love that.”After a short ride,boy turned and with his eyes shining,the said,“Paul,would you mind driving in front of my house?”Paul smiled a little.He thought he knew what the boy wanted.He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul wa s wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs.

So in both East and West, we have festivals to celebrate family reunions. These festivals include Mid-Autumn Festival in China and Thanksgiving in the US. How are they celebrated and what are the differences? Let’s take a look.Sharing the moonlightWith delicious moon cakes hitting the shops, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrives. It’s on the 15th day of the eighth month of the Chinese lunar calendar. In ancient China, the day was considered a harvest festival since fruits, vegetables and grain had been collected from the fields.The full moon is a symbol for family reunions (tuanyuan means reunion in Chinese, with yuan meaning round). Chinese people celebrate by coming together to eat, drink and be happy.On the day, food offerings (供品) are traditionally placed at altars (供桌) set up in old yards. Moon cakes are a special festival food.When it gets dark, people look up at the full moon and drink wine to celebrate or remember friends and relatives who are far from home. “Though miles apart, could men but live forever dreaming they shared this moonlight endlessly! (但愿人长久,千里共婵娟)” wrote Song Dynasty poet Su Shi.Showing our thanksThanksgiving is on the fourth Thursday of November. The first Thanksgiving was in December of 1621. About 100 English people took a ship, the Mayflower, to a place they named Plymouth in the northeastern US. The winter there was very cold and life was difficult. The American Indians (印第安人) helped them a lot. The English peopleinvited the American Indians to have a big meal to thank them for all of their help. The celebration lasted for three days.Today, people usually have a family meal on Thanksgiving. They enjoy delicious food such as pumpkins, corn and a big, golden turkey.There are other traditions on the day. For example, the turkey has a V-shaped bone in the breast. It’s called a wishbone. After roasting, two people each take one end of the bone. They make a wish and then pull. If you get the larger part of the bone, you will get good luck.The most important part of Thanksgiving is to say “thanks” – this is the spirit of the holiday. People also like to watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade (游行) on TV or play American football.1.What do people usually do on the Mid-Autumn Festival?a. harvest crops.b. get together with familyc. eat mooncakesd. remember friends and family far awaye. write poetryA. abcB. bcdC. cdeD. ade2.

How the two festivals are celebrated and what the differences are.D. Different cultures have different meaning and customs.C,阅读理解China has rich food culture. There are interesting stories behind some cuisine(菜肴), as well as table manners relating to tableware (餐具).HotpotHotpot has been popular among Chinese people for a long time. As early as in the Shang Dynasty (c.16thcentury–11th century BC), people boiled foods in bronze cauldrons(青铜鼎). The cauldron had two parts – one was the pot to cook foods in soup, and the other part was a layer (层) or a space inside the cauldron to hold firewood. People started to have lattice (分格的) hotpot during the Han Dynasty (206 BC–AD 220). They divided pots into several parts to enjoy different flavors (口味).Yuan Mei was a poet and foodie (美食家) in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). He mentioned huoguo, the Chinese name for hotpot, in a book about all kinds of food. At that time, hotpot was very popular. People put all kinds of meat and vegetables into the hotpot. They also used different materials, such as copper (铜) and iron (铁), to make pots. Dongpo porkThere is a famous Chinese dish called “Dongpo pork”. Does it have anything to do with the great poet Su Dongpo?Yes. Su Dongpo (Su Shi) was a poet who lived during the Song Dynasty (960-1279). He was the first to make this dish. When he was a local official in Huangzhou, Hubei, he fell in love with cooking pork. In his article Ode to Pork (《猪肉颂》), Su wrote about how to cook it.According to folk stories, the dish became well-known when Su went to Hangzhou, Zhejiang, to take office. One day, there was a big flood and Su went out to help people. People heard that Su loved eating pork, so they gave him a lot of it.But Su wanted to give it back. He cooked the pork in his own special way. Then he gave the dish to every family in the city and every worker on the street. Very soon the dish became famous in Hangzhou and got the name “Dongpo pork”.ChopsticksWhat are the dos and don’ts of using chopsticks?For Chinese people, chopsticks are not just simple tools to pick up food. They come with their own special rules and traditions.First, people should not make noise with chopsticks. Playing with chopsticks is seen as rude, just as playing with forks and knives in a Western country is.There are also some superstitions (迷信) related to chopsticks. For example, some people believe that chopsticks should not be left standing upright in a bowl. It looks like the incense (香) that Chinese people use to honor (祭奠) the dead. Doing it at the dinner table is believed to bring bad luck.You should not tap chopsticks on the edge (边缘) of the bowl either, as beggars do this to ask for food.1. When did people start to have lattice hotpots?A. During the Shang Dynasty.B. During the Qin Dynasty.C. During the Han Dynasty.D. During the Qing Dynasty.2. According to the story, what did Yuan Mei do?A. He added a layer of space to the bronze cauldrons.B. He wrote about hotpot in his book about cuisine.C. He taught people to cook meat and vegetables together.D. He used different materials to make pots.3. “Dongpo pork” was named after Su Dongpo because _____.A. he created the dishB. he wrote a poem to praise the dishC. he spread the dish to more citiesD. people made the dish to remember him4. People gave Su a lot of pork after he fought the flood because _____.A. Su tried hard to help themB. they wanted Su to praise their porkC. they wanted Su to cook pork for themD. they wanted to learn how to cook pork5. What is a taboo(禁忌)when Chinese people are using chopsticks?A. Using chopsticks to pick up food for guests.B. Laying chopsticks sideways on the table.C. Sticking chopsticks in the food and leaving them upright.D. Picking up things other than food with chopsticksD,阅读理解During the Warring States Period (475-221 BC), King Zhao of the State of Yan (燕昭王) wanted to gather talented people to make the state strong. He asked the scholar (有学问的人) Guo Weifor advice. Guo told the king a story.In ancient times, there was a king who wanted a special kind of horse. This horsecould run 1,000 li a day. It was called qianlima. He sent many people to find thesehorses and buy them for him. After three years, nobody found him such a horse.One day, someone new volunteered to help. Within three months, he heard abouta qianlima. He rushed to find it, but the horse was already dead. Still, he bought the bones of the horse with 500 pieces of gold.The king was very angry. “What I want is a live horse, not the bones of a dead horse!”The man answered calmly (冷静地), “Imagine this. You’re willing to pay a high price for a dead horse, let alonea live one. This shows people you truly wish to buy the horses. Just wait and the horses you want will come very soon.”Indeed (的确), within a year, many qianlima owners brought their horses to the king.Guo told the king that he could see himself as the bones of the horse. “If I am valued (重视), more talent will be willing (愿意的) to serve the state,” he said. The king built houses for Guo and treated him as a teacher. Soon, talented people across the state came to help the king. His state finally beat the State of Qi.We can better understand the story by reading the essay (文章) On Horses (《马说》) by Han Yu, a writer in the Tang Dynasty. In the essay, Han wrote that qianlima are common, but a person who can find them is rare. It tells us that talented people are common. Finding them is difficult.The story helps us understand that talented people are important to society. They deserve (应得) respect. President Xi Jinping once told this story to officials, asking them to respect talented people. More importantly, the story pushes us to think about our own talents. It means to develop your all-around (全面的) abilities and create opportunities for yourself. Instead of waiting for someone to find you, you can actively sell yourself.1. What did King Zhao of the State Yan actually want to have?A. Talented people.B. Qianlima.C. The bones of a qianlima.D. Wealth.2. In Guo’s story, the king got angry with the man because he thought _____.A. qianlima weren’t the best horses in the worldB. there wasn’t a qianlima in the worldC. the bones were not from a qianlimaD. a dead horse was of no use at all3. What was the man’s reason for buying the bones of a dead horse?A. It could help the king gather talented people.B. Horse owners would see the king’s need for qianlima.C. More people would kill their horses to sell horse bones.D. The king could tell qianlima from common horses this way.4. Guo compared himself to _____ in the story he told.A. the volunteerB. the kingC. the bones of a dead qianlimaD. the qianlima ownerE,阅读理解During the Tang Dynasty (618-907), Emperor Taizong asked the prime minister (宰相) Feng Deyi to recommend (推荐) talented people. However, several months passed, Feng didn’t recommend anyone.“I tried my best, but there are not unusual and well-rounded people at all,” Feng said.“People are like utensils (器物). What we need to do is to make good use of their strengths. You should blame (责怪) yourself for not noticing talented people. How could you say that there are no talented people in our era?” said the emperor.Indeed (的确), each utensil or tool has a specific function (功能). A knife is made to cut things while chopsticks are made to pick up food. We can’t use a knife as a chopstick. Like a utensil, each person has a particular strength. Nobody is perfect. We can’t expect a person to be good at everything.With this idea in mind, Emperor Taizong discovered many talented people of different backgrounds. He offered them important positions , which helped them make the most of their talents. His talented people helped the society develop and created a “golden age”.A good example is Ma Zhou, who grew up in a poor family. Ma gave a lot of useful advice, so Emperor Taizong offered him a position and promoted (晋升) him many times. Ma helped the emperor deal with complicated issues and became a well-known person in history.Chang Sheng, Chinese teacher at the High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China explains as followings:As long as a person is talented in one aspect, we should give them a chance. The same idea can be found in the Analects of Confucius (《论语》). Treating people as utensils shows not only good leadership, but a sincere and inclusive (包容的) attitude. President Xi Jinping once told this story to officials, asking them to value talented people.Today, as the division of labor (劳动分工) in society is becoming clearer, the idea still makes sense. If we become leaders someday, we should help others give full play to their strengths. For example, Liu Bang, the founder of Han Dynasty (206BC-AD220), let Zhang Liang and Xiao He work as advisors for their wisdom while inviting Han Xin to lead the army for his war strategies. Known as the “three heroes of the early Han Dynasty”, they helped Liu builda strong dynasty.1. Why couldn’t Feng Deyi find any talented people in Taizong’s opinion?A. There were no talented people then.B. His standards were wrong.C. He was afraid of being replaced.D. He was dissatisfied with the emperor.2. Knives and chopsticks are compared to _____.A. positionsB. strengthsC. toolsD. people3. Ma Zhou is a good example of people who _____.A. have no talent but are still usefulB. are unusual and well-roundedC. know when to take a chanceD. show talent in the right field4. What might be Chang Sheng’s opinion?A. People with any talent should be valued.B. Talented people are difficult to discover.C. Using people as tools is taking advantage of them.D. Using people as tools doesn’t work today.5. What is the main message of the story?A. Opportunity only comes to those who are prepared.B. There is no such thing as a great talent without great willpower.C. Talented people should be valued and led to the right place.D. Pearls are everywhere but not the same as eyes.完形填空Cloze 1Zu Ti was a great man of Jin Dynasty. He was ____1____ for his hard work and great achievements.

The Change in Air Pressure【考点】科普知识类阅读;内容归纳;文中细节.【分析】本篇文章讲述了一个问题--为什么在飞机上食物变得很难吃?科学家的回答是--由于海拔升高的原因,气压的改变钝化了我们三分之一的味觉,我们的鼻子变得干燥,对气味不敏感.这也是为什么飞机餐通常比较"重口"(偏咸且偏辣)的原因.科学家和志愿者尝试用一些方法改善飞机上的用餐,但由于气压的变化的原因,想要让飞机餐变得好吃还是很难.【解答】61.B 词义理解题.找到原句T o solve this problem,airlines try hard to improve their food.这一句说到"improve their food",可以推测this problem是和food有联系的,可以排除A选项;根据原句前面一句But it is common that they feel bad about food taste.Do you agree?可知是"食物很难吃",因此答案为B.62.C 推理判断题.根据To solve this problem,airlines try hard to improve their food.可知,为了解决食物难吃这个问题,航空公司努力改善他们的食物,故选C.63.B 细节理解题.根据第三段句子 the change in air pressure(气压)reduces one third of the sensibility(感觉)of our taste buds(味蕾)可知,气压的变化减弱了我们三分之一的味觉.故选B64.D 推理判断题.仔细理解最后一段内容可知,Though scientists try their best,it is not as easy as they thought.Because they can't deal with the special environment successfully,such as the change in air pressure,making food taste good is still hard for them.科学家认为要解决这个问题不容易的原因是他们无法成功地处理这种特殊的环境,比如气压的改变.因此答案为D.65.A 内容归纳题.本文主要讲了"飞机餐为什么难吃",因此答案为A.阅读理解【3】Jenny is from New York.Her uncle works as a teacher in Qingdao,st summer,Jenny went to China to visit her uncle and spent a week in Qingdao.Tina,her uncle’s daughter,took her to many interesting places.They went to May—Fourth Square(五四广场).They went shopping in the shopping mall there.Jenny bought some clothes,books,CDs and some gifts for her friends.Then they climbed Laoshan Mountain.Jenny liked the beautiful flowers and enjoyed the warm weather there very much.She was tired but happy.They also went to the night market on the last day.There Jenny ate lots of nice food.It was really delicious and Jenny liked it very much.Jenny really enjoyed her stay in Qingdao!55.What does Jenny’s uncle do?A.He’s a doctor.B.He’s a policeman.C.He’s a teacher.D.He’s a farmer.56.How long did Jenny stay in Qingdao?A.Three days.B.Four days.C.Five days.D.Seven days.57.Who’s Tina?A.Jenn y’s sister.B.Jenny’s cousin.C.Jenny’s friend.D.Jenny’s aunt.58.What did they do on the last day of the trip?A.They visited May—Fourth Square.B.They climbed Laoshan Mountain.C.They went to the night market.D.They bought some gifts for Jenny’s friends. 答案 55-58 C D B C【初中英语阅读专项训练材料】。

下⾯是由给⼤家整理的⼀些初中英语阅读理解短⽂,供⼤家参阅!【篇⼀】初中英语阅读理解短⽂ 每个国家都有各⾃⽂化习惯,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 2010 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 desc ription “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. I had told them something they didn‟t want to hear. After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don‟t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don‟t show my feelings through words.【篇⼆】初中英语阅读理解短⽂ QQ聊天对我们来说并不陌⽣,但是该不该完全相信友呢?我们究竟该以怎样的⼼态对待络呢?让我们来看看本⽂主⼈公与友的奇遇吧!

They only saw their parents at dinner time. There were many rules about how to behave at meal times. Everyone had his or her own knife, which was used for cutting food, spoons were setout on the table. Forks hadn’t been invented, so fingers were used to take food from dishes on the table. We all know fingers were invented before forks!These are some of the rules:·Don’t clean your knife on the tablecloth.·Don’t carve the table with your knife.·Don’t spread the butter with your thumb.·Don’t drink out of the bowl. Use a spoon.·Wipe your spoon clean and take care it isn’t stolen.·Keep your hands from dirtying the tablecloth, and don’t blow your nose on it.·Don’t put unwanted food back in the dish.·Don’t throw any bones on the floor.·Don’t blow crumbs out of your mouth.·Don’t grin, shout, or stuff your jaws with food.True or False:1. In old England, children were taught table manner by their parents.2. Nowadays, we would find some of these rules still very popular.3. People used their fingers because they didn’t have forks.4. Put chicken bones on your plate.5. The tablecloth was for wiping handsOut of schoolThere are many things we need to know that we do not learn at school. For example, if we want to use our allowance wisely, we need to shop carefully. We need know how to compare the prices of things in different shops. We need to be able to compare quality of different designer names. We need to know how to make sensible choices when we shop. Knowing how to make such choices is a “life skill”, and we need these skills if we are to lead useful and happy lives.Some of these choices are small. For example, will I take an apple for lunch or a pear? Will I get the bus to school today or will I walk? Will I wear the red T-shirt or the blue one to the movies? Other choices are more important. For example, will I eat healthy food for lunch or will I eat junk food because it is tastier? Will I work hard in all my classes or will I only work hard in the classes which I enjoy? We make decisions like this every day.Making the wrong choices can result in unhappiness. We have to realize that the choices we make can affect the rest of our lives. Just as importantly, our choices can also affect other people. The next time you decide to waste time in class, play a joke on someone or talk loudly at the movies, consider this: Who else does my choice affect?Choose the best answer1. What helps us use more wisely?A. Comparing prices and designer namesB. Buying things in different shopsC. Choosing different designer namesD. Choosing sensible designer names2. Why do we need “life skills”?A. To know how to shop sensiblyB. To compare designer names and priceC. To compare designer names and priceD. To learn things at school3. Which of these choices is the most important?A. Which fruit to take for lunchB. How to get to schoolC. Which T-shirt to wear to the moviesD. Which subjects to work hard in4. Why is it important to make the right choices?A. Because they can affect the rest of our livesB. Because they can make us waste timeC. Because they keep us from being happyD. Because we make choices most days5. Who do your choices affect?A. You and your parentsB. Lots of peopleC. You and other peopleD. Everybody except you。
