He climbed up and down the tree. Sometimesa bird would come down to perch(2) on top of the doghouse. Then Tom would have thegreatest fun(3) by throwing a stone or something at it. Though he never made it, he did like doing this kind of thing.Now Tom had been in the garden for half an hour. Suddenly a crack(4) was heard and the little boy began crying.“What’s the matter,Tom?"his mother looked through the kitchen(5) window. Tom ran into the kitchen.“Mum," he sobbed(6). "I broke Bobby’s plate. I didn’t know it was so fragile(7)."His mother put her arms round him and said, “Don’t feel so sad, Tom. We have other plates for Bobby. But how did you break that one?"“I threw it at a bird but missed, and it went straight to the plate."In Tom’s hand was his father’s gold pocket watch(8)!Notes: (1)be used to 习惯于(2)perch/p:t/n. 停歇(3)fun/fn/n. 爱好(4)crack /crk/n.破碎声(5)kitchen/`kItn/n. 厨房(6)sob/sb/v. 抽泣(7)fragile/`frdaIl/adj. 易碎的(8)gold pocket watch 金怀表1.When did the story happen?A.On a Sunday afternoon.B.On a Sunday morning.C.At noon.D.In the evening.2.When a bird perched on top of the doghouse,Tom .A.would like to play with itB.was very interested in it by throwing a stone at itC.would like to give it something to eatD.would smile3.There were no kids around and he was used to playing alone quietly.

If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him, you may say something like this,“I’m afraid it’ll have to be someplace cheap, as I have very little money." The other person may say,“OK, I’ll meet you at McDonald’s."This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say,“Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Smith’s," or“I want you to try the Chinese dumplings there. They’re great." This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him and you needn’t pay for the meal. You may just say,“Thank you. That would be very nice."American customs(1) about who pays for dates(2) are much the same as in other parts of the world. In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But, today, a university(3) girl or a woman in business world will usually pay her wayduring the day. If a man asks her for a dance outside the working hours, it means “Come, as my guest(4).” So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make the question clear at the very beginning.Notes:(1)custom/`kstm/n. 风俗(2)date/deIt/n.约会(3)university/、ju:nI`v:sItI/n.大学(4)guest/gest/n. 客人1.The passage tells us .A.how to eat outB.where to eat outC.what to eat outD.who pays for the meal2.If you have little money, .A.you’ll have a cheap mealB.you’ll borrow some from othersC.you’ll ask your friend to pay for your mealD.you won’t want your friends to ask you to dinner3.“Go Dutch" in this passage means .A.去饭馆B.就餐C.订餐D.各自付款4.Sometimes your friend takes you to lunch.

初一英语阅读理解100篇答案初一英语阅读理解100篇答案_初一英语阅读理解(含答案).初一英语阅读理解100篇答案_初一英语阅读理解60篇.初一英语阅读 60 篇 1 I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top ofit as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world. Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she’d said again, “it’s for Elizabeth. ” I nev er saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed itin action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on thesurface(外表)”. As years passed I had my own family.I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family.I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive(原谅) me. I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came. My hope turned to disappointment(绝望),then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not. Now the present of her desk told, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleasedthat writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) andrefolded many times. Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose theact that speaks louder than words. 根据短文内容,选择最正确答案。

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 inv ented, 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:clean your knife on the tablecloth.·Don’t·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 o n 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 ourlives.

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. 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.初中英语阅读理解篇2QQ聊天对我们来说并不陌生,但是该不该完全相信网友呢?我们究竟该以怎样的心态对待网络呢?让我们来看看本文主人公与网友的奇遇吧!Jean is a bright young woman who comes from a richand famous family. She goes to a good university and haseverything that money can buy. Well, almost everything.The problem is that the people in Jean‟s family are sobusy that they can hardly find time to be with her.

She uses the name Linda on QQ and has madea lot of friends who she keeps in touch with quiteoften.Last year Jean made a very special friend on QQ. His name was David and lived in San Francisco.David was full of stories and jokes. He and Jean had a common(共同的) interest in rock music and modern dance. So it always took them hours to talk happily on QQ and sometimes they even forgot their time. Of course, they wanted to know more about each other. David sent a picture of himself: He was a tall, good-looking young man with a big, happy smile. As time went by, they became good friends and often sent cards and small things to each other.When Jean‟s father told her that he was going on a business trip to San Francisco, she asked him to let her go with him so that she could give David a surprise for his birthday. She would take him the latest DVD of their favorite rock singer. But when she knocked on David‟s door in San Francisco, she found that her special friend was a twelve-year-old boy named Jim!初中英语阅读理解篇3朋友与你相互嬉闹,朋友与你互掏腰包;朋友与你互相惦记,朋友与你心有灵犀;朋友与你有苦共担,朋友与有乐同欢……请读读这篇真挚的友情故事。

初中英语阅读理解 100篇
初中英语阅读理解 100篇Reading is a fundamental skill that is essential for academic success and personal growth. In the context of middle school English education, reading comprehension plays a crucial role in developing students' language proficiency and critical thinking abilities. One effective approach to fostering these skills is through the use of well-crafted reading comprehension passages.The value of 100 middle school English reading comprehension passages lies in their ability to expose students to a diverse range of texts and genres. These passages can cover a wide variety of topics such as literature, history, science, and current events, allowing students to broaden their knowledge and perspectives. By engaging with these passages, students can hone their abilities to understand the main ideas, identify key details, make inferences, and draw conclusions.One of the primary benefits of having 100 reading comprehension passages is the opportunity for repeated practice and skill development. As students work through the passages, they cangradually build their vocabulary, improve their grammar and sentence structure, and enhance their overall reading proficiency. The repetition and variation in the passages can help students become more adept at navigating different text structures, recognizing literary devices, and developing strategies for comprehending complex information.Moreover, the use of 100 reading comprehension passages can foster a love of reading and encourage students to become more independent and self-directed learners.

It also involves the development of critical thinking skills, which are essential for academic success and lifelong learning. The 100 reading comprehension passages can challenge students to analyze, evaluate, and synthesize information, requiring them to go beyond surface-level understanding and delve into deeper levels of comprehension.For instance, some passages may present complex arguments or controversial issues, encouraging students to consider multiple perspectives, evaluate evidence, and formulate their own informed opinions. Other passages may require students to draw connections between different ideas or make inferences about the author's intent or the underlying themes. By engaging with these types of passages, students can hone their critical thinking skills, which can serve them well in their future academic and professional pursuits.Furthermore, the use of 100 reading comprehension passages can be tailored to meet the diverse needs and learning styles of middle school students. Teachers can carefully select or adapt the passages to match the reading levels, interests, and linguistic backgrounds of their students. This differentiated approach can help ensure that all students have the opportunity to develop their reading skills and achieve academic success.In conclusion, the integration of 100 middle school English reading comprehension passages into the curriculum can have a profound impact on students' learning and development.
