初三英语15篇阅读(含答案)

Passage 1(2017 江西)“Color, color, color!” are the words of artist Eric Carle. Eric is like the king in the world of children’s books. He has written over 70 children’s books. His most famous book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, is common on children’s bookshelves all over the world. What most people don’t know is that Eric also makes art for adults, which is called “ArtArt”. People didn’t know about it, because he didn’t show it to the public until he was 84 years old!Like Eric’s children’s books, his “ArtArt” is full of bright and clear color. He says that he loves color so much because he missed it during the war in Germany. Eric was born in New York in 1929, but moved to Germany with his family when he was 6. When he was 10, World War II began. He noticed that all the houses and buildings in his town were painted grey, brown or dark green, It was a sad time, and it seemed like there was no color anywhere.At the end of the war, “When color came back,” Eric explains, “I just loved it so much. I keep saying that I wish our eyes could see more color. Color is a very important part of my work.’’That’s true. Eric paints bright colors on paper, cuts out shapes, and then glues them onto another piece of paper. This method is called collage. In fact, it is what led Eric to his “ArtArt”.Eric’s “ArtArt” includes large collages as well as paintings, photographs and even costumes. In all these works, he uses all kinds of colors—everything from purple to light green to orange. Now that’s a lot of color!()1. When did Eric show “ArtArt” to the public?A. In 1929.B. In 1993.C.

When he was a small boy, Tim was interested in playing with electrical things. He studied science at Oxford University. He made his first computer from an old television at the age of 21.Tim started working on early computers. At that time, they were much bigger than now. He worked in England then Switzerland. Tim was really interested in two things, computers and how the brain works. How could the brain connect so many facts so quickly? He had to work with people all over the world. They shared information about computers. It was hard to manage all the information. He answered the same questions again and again. It took a lot of time. It was even difficult for computers in the same office in Switzerland to share information. Tim also forgot things easily. Could a computer work like a brain? Could it “talk” to other computers?There was an Internet already but it was difficult to use. In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web(WWW)all by himself. This had a special language that helped computers talk to each other on the Internet. When people wanted to share information with others, they used the World Wide Web. The Internet grew quickly after that.Tim Berners-Lee doesn’t think he did anything special. He says that all of the ideas about the Internet were already there. All he did was to put them together. He says that many other people worked together to make the Internet what it is today.Most inventors want to become rich, but Tim gave away the World Wide Web for nothing. He now works in America.

On display were a few seashells, some dead insects and some birds’ nests. Young Roosevelt took great pride in his small museum.Born in New York in 1858, Theodore Roosevelt was not always healthy. “I was a sickly, delicate boy,” he once wrote. Roosevelt had a health condition called asthma(哮喘). He often found it hard to breathe. Instead of playing, he observed(观察)nature and then read and wrote about it.Roosevelt’s interest in nature sometimes got him into trouble. Once, his mother found several dead mice in the icebox. She ordered him to throw them out. This was indeed a loss to science, Roosevelt said later.Because Roosevelt was often sickly as a boy, his body was small and weak. When he was about 12, his father urged him to improve his body. Roosevelt began working out in a gym. He didn’t become strong quickly. But he did decide to face life’s challenges with a strong spirit. That determination stayed with Roosevelt his whole life. And finally his body did get strong. As an adult, he was an active, healthy person. He enjoyed adventures and loved the outdoors.In 1900, at the age of 41, Roosevelt was elected Vice President.

Especially girls were not allowed to go to school.Reporters from Britain told the world what was happening with the help of Malala. In 2009, 12-year-old Malala wrote 35 diaries on the Internet. She wrote about the difficulties of her life, and about her strong hope for education.Soon after that, Malala’s family was chosen to be in a TV program to show ordinary children’s education because both father and daughter spoke good English, and they cared about children getting an education.From then on, a few people hated her and hurt her.

Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road covered almost 6500 kilometers. It went from Rome to China, which was from the West to the Far East.Merchants travelled along the Silk Road to carry silk, of course. They also carried and traded other things like spices(香料), cloth, jewels and gold.Along and around these ancient paths(小路), have come many fascinating and mysterious stories.It is said that Roman soldiers who lost a war travelled through central Asia. They decided to live somewhere near the ancient Chinese villages. Some of these Romans married local Chinese women and the legend of the blond-haired, blue-eyed tribes of China was started.Some historians believe that the people of Kashmir were taken away from their country Israel. They were prisoners(俘虏)of war almost 2800 years ago. People say that these people travelled along the Silk Road. They kept their Jewish way of life for a long time.During its busiest period, the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures and countries to meet each other and mix. The Silk Road allowed the sharing of valuable things and new ideas. It included people and trading goods from different areas. All these peoples travelled the Silk Road, and they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.In modern times, the old Silk Road routes(路线)are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses.

Trade for SilkD. The West and the Far EastPassage 9(2017 河南)The idea that red means stop and green means go has influenced our lives in more ways than just traffic signals(信号). We have been taught from a young age that the color red means danger and green means it’s okay to move forward. But why were those colors chosen for traffic lights in the first place? For something we have to look at every day, why couldn’t they have been prettier colors?Well, it’s important to know that before traffic lights for cars, there were traffic signals for trains. At first, railway companies used red to mean stop, white to mean go, and green to mean warn. As you could imagine, trains ran into a few problems with white meaning go. For example, one train mistook a bright star for a white light and something unexpected happened. Because of that, railway companies finally moved green meaning go and used yellow to mean warn. And it’s been that way ever since.Red has always been a color that meant danger, long before cars were even around. This most likely started because of the color with the longest wavelength(波长)so it can be seen somewhere farther than other colors.But, believe it or not, yellow was once used to mean stop. Back in the 1900s, some stop signs were yellow because it was too hard to see a red sign in a poorly lit area. Finally, highly reflective materials(高反射材料)were developed and red stop signs were born. Since yellow can be seen well at all times of the day, school zones, some traffic signs, and school buses continue to be painted yellow.So next time you’re impatiently waiting at a traffic light, don’t get so mad at them; they’ve certainly come a long way.()1. What were traffic signals for before traffic lights for cars?A. Trains.B. Boats.C. Planes.D. Bicycles.()2. Which of the following colors meant go at first?A. Red.B. Yellow.C. White.D. Green.()3. Why does red mean danger?A. Because it’s the brightest color,B. Because it can be seen far away.C. Because railway companies say so.D. Because it has the shortest wavelength.()4. Why are school buses painted yellow?A. Because yellow is a prettier color.B. Because yellow once meant danger.C. Because yellow can be seen well in daytime.D. Because yellow means it’s OK to go forward. ()5. What does the text mainly tell us?A. How important traffic lights are.B. Which color has the longest wavelength.C. What red, yellow and green can be used for.D. Why traffic lights are red, yellow and green.Passage 10(2017 广东)People often think of the North Pole(北极)and the South Pole as similar frozen(冰冻的)wastelands. They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine.The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures seldom go above 32°F, at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperatures are usually as low as -30°F.Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March 8th, 1909. It was really a hard trip for them.There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic(北极圈)on foot. People who stayed there may face many problems: very cold temperatures, sudden storms, and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited. Few people can live in such a difficult place.People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard.However, this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water(水道)called “leads”. Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.()1. This passage is probably from___________.A. a book reviewB. a science bookC. a school reportD. a computer magazine()2.

What does the underlined word “uninhabited” probably mean in Chinese?A. 气候恶劣的B. 充满危险的C. 困难重重的D. 无人居住的()4. The reason for the ice to break into two opening lanes of water is___________.A. that the temperature suddenly dropsB. that the water under the ice is frozenC. that the ocean water under the ice movesD. that the surface is covered with lots of ice()5. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. The thick ice in the North Pole.B. A difficult trip to the North Pole.C. The real situation in the North Pole.D. The differences between the North Pole and the South Pole.Passage 11(2017 福建)No one knows when the first kite was made. The first record of a kite was more than 2,000 years ago in China. Han Xin, the leader of an army, wanted to bring down a king. He decided to dig a tunnel(隧道)into the king’s palace. He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure the length(长度)of its string(线). In this way, he could determine how long the tunnel should be. His men in the tunnel took the kite string with them. When they reached the end of the string, they knew to dig up.Kites have been flown in Japan for hundreds of years. In the 1700s, kites were flown in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest. They were also flown to send good wishes to couples who had their first son. Today in Japan, kites are often flown as part of a celebration, such as the beginning of a new year. And kite festivals are held each year in many parts of the country.Kites have been used for scientific purposes in the western world. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm to find out that lightening was a form of electricity. In the 1890s, Lawrence Hargrave invented the box kite to test ideas about flight. From 1898 until 1933, the United States Weather Bureau(气象局)used box kites to collect weather data. The Wright brothers also experimented(试验)with kites. What they learnt helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903.()1. Why did Han Xin want to dig a tunnel?A. To pull down the palace.B.

九年级上册英语阅读理解50篇一、阅读理解（共50题）1.阅读短文，下列问题BEach year there is an increasing number of cars on the roads and streets as millions of new cars and trucks are produced. One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of the cars,driving trucks,building roads,or filling cars with gas.Americans won't live without cars!Most Americans would find it hard to think what life could look like without a car.However，some have realized the serious problem of the air pollution caused by the car.The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to people's health. One way to get rid of the polluted car is to design a car that does not pollute.That's what several of the large car factories have been trying to do.But to build a clean car is easier said than done.Progress in this field has been slow.Another way is to take the place of the car engine（发动机）by something else.Inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars.Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.To prevent the world from being polluted by car,we'll have to make some changes.Americans，for example,have to cut down on the number of their total cars.They are encouraged to travel and to go to work by bicycle.Bicycling is thought to help keep the air clean.But this change doesn't come easily—a large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down.Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.Althoughcars have led us to a better life,they have also brought us new problems.（1）Some large car factories in the US are trying to build a new kind of car which_______.A.is clean in itselfB.is used to clean streetsC.is easier to makeD.does not pollute the air（2）If the number of cars cuts down,the most serious problem to American workers is to_______.A.have no work to doB.improve their environmentC.go to work by bikeD.make their factories richer（3）The writer wants to tell us that_______.A.riding a bike is the only way outB.the number of cars must be cut downC.people wouldn't live without carsD.cars bring us not only a better life but also serious problems（4）Which fact does the passage provide？A.About one sixth of American workers are working in car factories.B.The best way to get rid of air pollution is to change the car engine by something else.C.It isn't easy to change the way of life in the US.D.In the US bikes will surely take the place of cars in the future.（5）Which is the best title（标题）for the passage?A.A New Way to Get Rid of Polluted AirB.Cars and Polluted AirC.Many Serious Problems in the USD.Changes in Car Production2.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

话题1 创新技术Passage 1It seems like technology is everywhere. Computers and smart phones are at the center of almost everything we do. They constantly（持续地）require our attention. We text our fr i ends with them during the day, sleep with them by our beds and check our messages as soon as we wake up.In the future we will use calm technology which was first developed by scientist Mark Weiser in the 1970s. In his opinion, calm technology works quietly but constantly. We know it is there, but we don’t pay much attention to it. According to Mark, the best technology should be invisible(隐形的) and let you li ve your life.We already use many different types of calm technology in our everyday life. Do you have a smoke alarm in your house? That smoke alarm is always there, checking the air for smoke and quietly keeping you safe. It only reminds you it’s there when you’ve burnt your bread! Or there may be lights in your home or school. When somebody passes in front of their sensor （传感器）, the lights turn on. You don’t think about this type of technology until you see the light go on.In the future, our houses will use calm technology to open the door for us. Or even to choose the best music for our mood. The minute we walk through the door, our house will respond by turning on the lights and music, and perhaps even starting to prepare our dinner!1~2 题完成句子；3 题简略回答问题；4 题找出并写下第三段的主题句；5 题将文中画线句子译成汉语。

英语阅读理解练习题20篇及解析

英语阅读理解练习题20篇及解析一、英语阅读（日常生活类）1．阅读理解When it comes to helping developing countries, we often think about offering money in order that they can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs in their lives. However, it's far from enough. We have to come up with better ideas.A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer, which he decided to invent after he visited a school in Cambodia. The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed is not the same as the normal one that you can buy in the shops. One difference is that it will be covered in rubber so that it is strong and won't be damaged easily. As an electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries, the computer also has a special handle in order that children can wind the computer up to give it extra power when needed.This special laptop computer will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr. Negroponte wants to produce as many as 15 million laptop computers in the first year. The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to access the Internet. These computers might not benefit the people in developing countries immediately, but by improving children's education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK. And probably in many other countries too, millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste crested by throwing away thee old phones is very bed for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to achieve two important goals at the same time. We will reduce the waste we produce and help others. In other words, we will be able to" kill two birds with one "and that is always a good thing.)（1）The underlined phrase "wind up" in paragraph 2 means .A. 吹风B. 给……上发条C. 摇上D. 利用空气……使……（2）The laptop computer that Mr. Negroponte has designed .A. will be damaged much easier than the normal oneB. has a special handle to access the InternetC. is cheap and can run with extra powerD. can be helpful to find the people's own solutions（3）According to the passage，what benefit can we get from recycling old mobile phones ￥A. We can reduce the waste to protect the environment.B. We can help children in developing countries reuse the old mobile phones.C. it is good for the environment and very educative for phone users.D. It not only reduces the waste produced by developed countries but also helps the children in developing countries.（4）Mr. Negroponte's cheap computer is mentioned in the passage to .A. illustrate the kindness of people in the developed countriesB. tell us what high technology can help peopleC. show how to find business opportunities in developing countries[D. give an example of how to help developing countries（5）Which is the best idea the author gives us to help the developing countriesA. We need to help people in developing countries to help themselves，not just throw money at the problem.B. We should spend much money helping people in developing countries build more schools and hospitals.C. We should think about giving help to developing countries more often.D. We should help the people in developing countries by improving children's education immediately.【答案】（1）B（2）C>（3）D（4）D（5）A【解析】【分析】主要讲了Nicholas Negroponte发明了一种便宜的手提电脑和循环使用手机来帮助发展中国家。

九年级英语阅读20篇

九年级英语阅读20篇1I was an unlucky nurse who had to work on Christmas Day. It was always quite in the emergency room on this day, so I was not expecting any patients. When I was complaining about working on such a beautiful festival ,five people showed up at my desk —a pale woman and four small children.“Are you all sick?” I asked doubtfully because they seemed all right.“Yes, ”the woman answered weakly and lowered her head. But when they started to present their problems, things got a little vague(模糊的）. The children had earaches, but they could not tell me which ear was in pain. The mother complained of a cough, but she seemed to be pretending.Something was wrong. I didn’t say anything but explained that it might take a while before a doctor could meet them.” Take your time, please,” the mother responded. On a hunch(出于直觉)I checked their charts(记录)—no address. Suddenly I knew, they were homeless and the hospital was warm.I look out at the family, huddling(蜷缩) together under the Christmas tree, smiling and chatting with each other sweetly. Quietly,I went back to the nurses’ station and told them that we had a homeless family in the waiting room. It was just like the God sending us a gift on Christmas Day. We took out our meals for our Christmas “patients”. We also put together oranges and apples as presents. We worked hard to exceed the needs of a family who only wanted a warm place on Christmas Day. Later, when the family was leaving, the 4-year-old girl ran back and gives me a kiss. “Thanks for__________________________today，”she whispered in my ear.1. The author was unhappy to work on Christmas Day, wasn’t she? ___________________________________________________________2. How did the author know that the families were homeless? ___________________________________________________________3. Why did the family pretend to be sick?___________________________________________________________ 4. What did the nurse on duty for the family?___________________________________________________________5. What might the 4-year-old girl say to the author?She might say,“ Thanks for___________________________________6. What do you think of the author? Give your reason.___________________________________________________________________2A 108-year-old Message in a BottleOn November 30, 1906, George Bidder dropped a bottle from a boat into the North Sea. The weighted glass bottle sank almost to the sea floor, and then it move slowly for 108 years and 138 days.Its journey ended when Marianne Winkler found the bottle in 2015. Winkler was then on vacation on Amrum Island. She picked up the bottle when it was washed up onto the beach. She saw a piece of paper inside, but didn’t break it open. She could tell that the bottle was old. So she didn’t want to damage it.Finally she got the piece of paper out of the bottle. She found that the paper was actually a postcard. On the back of the cardthere was this message: The Marine Biological Association（海洋生物学协会） would pay a shilling（先令） for the bottle. A shilling was a unit of money that was used in Great Britain before the early 1970s.Winkler filled out the card and posted it. The association was surprised to get a postcard addressed to George Bidder, the president of the association from 1939 to 1945. The workers of the association searched on the Internet to find a shilling. They found one and sent it to Winkler as a reward.The message in the bottle was the oldest ever re-discovered. For this reason Marianne Winkler got a place in “Guinness World Records”（吉尼斯世界纪录）. She broke the record for the oldest message in a bottle.Winkler’s bottle was not the only one Bidder sent to sea. Between 1904 and 1906, he spent away more than one thousand bottles. He placed postcards inside them. The bottles were part of a research project to map currents（洋流） in the North Sea. This was the best method at that time. But whether the association could get the bottles back depended on the people who found them.

Elizabeth used to attend a school for the blind. Today she was joining Kate at Washington Carver Elementary. "Here comes my brother." Elizabeth said, Kate looked around but saw no one. Then, suddenly, John came around the next corner on his skateboard. "How did you know John was coming?" Kate asked."From the sound of the wheels on his board," replied Elizabeth. "I'd know it anywhere." Kate listened again until she heard the joyful sound hidden among all the much louder noises on the street.John road along the sidewalk, moving from one side to the other and back again, until he came to a stop in front of Elizabeth and Kate. "Hey, Sis" he said. "Good luck today!" "Thanks John," said Elizabeth. "Any words of wisdom for me?" "Yeah," her brother replied, smiling. "Stay away from the Sloppy Joes in the cafeteria." After these words, John went away on his board.Kate wondered if Elizabeth still remembered eating the sloppy joes before she lost her sight at the age of six, because of a high fever. Kate wondered if she felt sad. She decided to ask. "I used to think I couldn't do anything," explained Elizabeth. "But now I know that I can do most things. I just need a little more learning time."

However, after my first visit to UK during the summer vacation, I think one thing should be added to the list—street artists.In York, I met a “purple man”. He was in the middle of the street and was pretending to ride a bike. Most of the time, he stood there without making a move. When people went close to him, he would make fun of them putting paint in their Some ranaway to avoid being painted while some accepted it with a smile. From the collection pot beside his foot, I could see that he made a living by taking photos with tourists.I met another performer in Edinburgh. He stood quite still (静止的）and was simply staring at the ground with several flyers (传单）in his hands. When a passer-by took a flyer, he .would dance for a while and then stand still again.Not all street artists are performing for money. Once I saw a young man just lying on the street; facing the ground as if listening to the heartbeat of nature.Before I went to Britain, I had heard that the people there were quite serious and somewhat dull. But what I saw on the streets changed my idea about them completely. These people are interesting and full of unexpectedly good ideas. They just wanted to express themselves in their own ways.Seeing is believing一that’s another thing I learned from my trip, and from the amazing street artists.1.How many street artists does the writer mention?(1分)2.How did the purple man make fun of people who went close to him? (2 分）3.When a passer-by took a flyer from the street artist in Edinburgh, what would he do? (2 分）4.What does the writer think of British people after his trip?(2 分）5. What does "Seeing is believing” mean in Chinese? And what does the writer mean by saying it? (3 分）7You may think that inventions are far away from your everyday life. But in fact, almost everyone can invent. It's just that they do not recognize that their idea could be the start of an invention. Once inventors see their ideas have some practical value, they don't let them slip away.For example, the inventors of the dishwasher, American Josephine Cochrane, loved to give dinner parties. But she found it took too long to wash her dishes by hand and too many of them broke. She decided that a machine could do the job faster and with fewer mistakes. So, in 1886, she set out to make one for herself.Most inventions are created to solve a problem. So, the first and most important step is to find the problem. Start by lookingat what is wrong with things you see now and ask people around if they remember ever saying, "I wish someone would invent something for ..." Then you might notice situations or things in need of improvement.The next step is to think about possible solutions. An invention is a new way of solving a problem. You can often come up with a solution to a problem if you think about it in a new way. When you try to invent things, you actually use a problem-solving technique(技巧). This problem-solving technique includes two parts:____________and___________. It can work in your everyday lives. So, why not try it in your studies, in your relationship with others, or even in the way you look at the world?1. Inventions are close to our daily life, aren’t they?2. What was the problem that Cochrane found in her life?3. According to the passage, why do people create things?4. How can we find a problem?5. Complete the sentence in the last paragraph.6. What do you want to invent for your everyday life? Why? (Give at least two reasons)8.Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955. When he was a boy, Jobs and his father always worked on electronics.

We were grocery shopping in a small store one day when I noticed a family come into the store. It looked like a mother, her daughter, and her granddaughter. They were clean, but dressed in worn clothes,and it was clear they were less fortunate. They pushed a cart through the store, carefully selecting items, only necessary foods.My mother and I finished our shopping and headed toward the counter to pay. As we got there, the family was in front of us, with one person in between. As I watched the family place groceries on the conveyor belt, I heard the mother ask the clerk ever so often to check the price, as she only had so much to spend. This took a while, and the person in front of me was getting impatient, mumbling about how he wished they would hurry and finish. When the store clerk did a final total, the woman did not have enough money, so she began pointing to different items to be put back.My mother then did something I will never forget. She reached into her purse, pulled out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to the woman. The woman looked very surprised and said, "I can't take that!" My mother looked directly at the woman and quietly replied, "Yes, you most certainly can. Consider it a gift. There's nothing in that cart you don't really need, so please accept it. "The woman then reached out and took the money, holding my mom's hand for just a moment, and with tears runningdown her cheeks, said, "Thank you so much. No one has ever done anything this nice for me before. "I learned from my mother that day that the best kind of giving is giving from the heart.1.

He held a sign which said, "I am blind, please help me."There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the words.Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?"The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a different way."What he had written was, "Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it."Do you think the first sign and second sign were saying the same thing?Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.The first is: Treasure (珍惜) what you have. Someone else has less. Try your best to help those who need your help.The second is: Be creative(有创造力的). Think differently. There is always a better way！1.Who sat on the steps of a building asking for help ?___________________________________________________________ _________2.A man walked by and gave the boy a few coins, didn’t he ? ___________________________________________________________ _________3.What did the man do to the boy’s sign ?___________________________________________________________ _________4.What happened to the boy’s hat soon ?___________________________________________________________ _________5.How did the man write the sign?___________________________________________________________ _________6.Which sign do you prefer, the first one or the second one?

中考英语阅读理解(共20篇)

2010年海陵区初三英语总复习阅读理解（共20篇）（来自朱庄初中）（1）Last week, 169 Junior 1 students at No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang took their first no-teacher exam. After the teacher handed out the exam paper, he left the room and never came back. A student collected the papers when the exam ended.‘That test was not only a test of knowledge, but also a test of moral . We wanted to show students how important honesty is,’ said Cai Wenguo, the school's headmaster. The school says no cheating happened in the test. Next year, it wants 80％of its exams to be without teachers. But students have different ideas.‘I was happy and excited during the exam because my teachers trusted me,’ said Lang Yu Dan, a 13-year-old girl in Class 11. ‘Schools must trust students a lot not to use invigilators. But I think it is too early. Some students will cheat if there are no invigilators. And the students will not be able to ask for help when needed.’ said Hua Sha.‘I don't like having invigilators in exams. When they walk around the classroom, they make me nervous. I would get higher marks without them in the room because I would feel more relaxed,’ Liu Qing Xi said.‘I think it's very important to have invigilators in exams. Many students want to check their answers with each other after they have finished papers. And they can also keep the classroom in order when something unusual happens. They may make me nervous, but I still think we need them,’ Shang Guanyuan said.Not using invigilators may be a good idea. But before using it, schools must tell students the importance of honesty and try to find ways to solve something unusual in exams.( ) 1. The passage mainly talks about ____________.A. how to pass an examB. how to make students honestC. whether invigilators are needed in examsD. how to get higher marks ( )2. No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang held a no-teacher exam to __________.A. let the students have a good restB. teach the students in a better wayC. help all the students pass the examD. find whether the students were honest( )3. From what the students have said, we know ______________________A. invigilators really help them a lotB. not all of them agree with the headmasterC. something unusual never happens in examsD. no cheating will happen if teachers trust students( ) 4. The underlined word ‘invigilators’ in Paragraph 4 mean _______ in Chinese.A.监考人B. 监视器C. 阅卷人D. 调查者( ) 5. In the sentence ‘And they can also keep the classroom in order when something unusual happens ’ ‘they’ refers to __________.A. studentsB. headmastersC. invigilatorsD. monitors（2）It is important to learn how we can protect the environment. Here are 5R rules for us.Reduce If you want to reduce waste, you should use things more cleverly. A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don’t know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the amount of waste we produce.Reuse You should always think of reusing things before throwing them out. For example, give the clothes you do not use or the ones are too small to the poor. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to young brothers or sisters.Recycle Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By recycling we can save lots of time and money. For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat and melted. The metal can be used to make new coke cans.Recover When you buy a box of apples, then there will be a few rotten () ones. You have two choices: one is to throw all the apples away; the other is to throw the rotten ones and keep the good ones. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.Repair If one of the legs of your table is broken, you should repair it. If you want to buy something newer and better, it is better for you to sell the old things, or give it to people who can use it after repair it.Learn the rules to protect our environment. Let’s try our best to make the earth cleaner and more beautiful.( ) 6. The ‘Reduce ’ rule mainly asks us _____________.A. to use things more cleverlyB. to cut down lots of treesC. to use a lot of paperD. to throw away your old clothes ( )7. What should you think of before throwing things out?A. Buying new ones.B. Repairing.C. Reusing.D. Eating them. ( )8. What’s the correct order for recycling coke cans?a. collect the used cansb. melt themc. smash them flatd. send them to a factoryA. a, b, c, dB. a, d, c, bC. b, d, c, aD. c, a, b, d( )9. The ‘Recover’ rule tells us to _____________.A. keep waste thingsB. cover waste things with earthC. keep the useful partD. to throw everything away ( )10. What is the first suggestion that you should do with broken things?A. To throw them away.B. To put them in a cupboardC. To sell them.D. To repair them.（3）An Unpleasant ExperienceAn old and very rich friend of mine told me he had an unpleasant experience. He went to a famous jewelry shop and asked to be shown some gold necklaces. Afterexamining several, he decided to buy a gold necklace with a precious stone, and asked if he could pay by cheque (支票). The assistant said that was quite in order, after my friend signed his name, he was invited into the manager's office. The manager was very polite, but he explained that someone with exactly the same name had given them a worthless cheque not long ago. My friend got very angry when he heard this and said that he would buy a necklace somewhere else. When he got up to go, the manager told him that the police would arrive at any moment and he had better stay unless he wanted to get into serious trouble. Sure enough, the police arrived soon afterwards. They were polite, too. but explained that a person who had used the same name as his was guilty of a number of recent robberies. Then the police asked my friend to copy out a note which had been used by the thief in a number of stores. The note read, "I have a gun in my pocket. Ask no question and give me all the money in the drawer."Fortunately, my friend's handwriting was quite unlike the thief’s.

Today, the area has only two small lakes and two salt deserts.The larger of the two deserts, the Uyuni salt desert, is 12,000 square kilometres. During the day, the desert is bright white because of the salt. There are no roads across the Uyuni desert, so local people must show guests the way to the hotel.In the early 1990s, a man named Juan Quesada built the hotel. He cut big blocks of salt from the desert and used the blocks to build it. Everything in the hotel is made out of salt: the walls, the dome roof, the tables, the chairs, the beds, and the bar.The sun heats（使变热）the walls and roof during the day. At night the desert is very cold, but the rooms stay warm. The hotel has twelve rooms.

This would be an example to the others. He took a deep breath and opened the classroom door. "Silence ! "he shouted at the top of his voice.This time the students stopped what they were doing and looked at him. Quickly he walked up to the oldest-looking boy in the room, who was also the noisiest and had been shouting at others at the top of his voice.

She bas just become motherless.A few minutes ago, a big bombing(轰炸) happened near her home in the south of Iraq(伊拉克).Every day we see pictures like this on our televisions. We see young Iraqi children asking for food and water from American and British soldiers as they move through towns and dries towards the capital, Baghdad. We see these children following grown-ups, carrying bags of things almost the same size as their small bodies as they quickly left their homes in Baghdad.All this shows that some of the young lives have been turned upside down bythe war.And they show the terrible price being paid by Iraqi children.In southern parts of the country, like the second largest city, Basra, the UN is working to repair the damage(损失) caused by the war. "We are working to provide clean water and get the electrical power to work again," said Geoffrey Keele, a UN spokesman.But little else can be done, in Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to try.and let them escape the sound of bombing. And all the schools are closed. Some diseases break out among the children, sometimes leading to death.Nearly 50% of the Iraqi population, which is over 20 million, is under 15 years old.

Five hopeful cities are waiting to find out where the 2012 Olympics will be held.Hosting is no easy work but it's a good chance for a country to attract tourists and make friends with people from all over the world.Two years ago, cities which were interested in hosting the Games enrolled(登记) their names. Later they handed in their reports to the International Olympic Committee(IOC,国际奥林匹克委员会). Nine cities hoped that they would have the honour. On May 18,2004, after the careful checking of each report, the IOC chose five cities: Paris, London, Moscow, Madrid(马德里) and New York City to be the possible cities to hold the 2012 Olympic Games.Since February, the IOC has visited these five cities, Moscow being the last; to hear each city's report as to how they will host the Games.Want to know the result? Some people guess that Paris will be the winner. London and New York could only show plans for gyms to be built for the Games, but Paris showed off their well-run gym that was built for the 1998 Soccer World Cup. One problem with Paris is that they ran against Beijing for the 2008 Game.The IOC members thought that French people were too proud.But don't rush to give an answer. Wait until July 6.

Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main useof coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they have the colors much like the trees.Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can sendout a kind of very black liquid (液体)when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over (散开), its enemies (敌人)cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.( )1.From the passage we learn that locusts________.A. are small animalsB. are easily found by birdsC. are dangerous to their enemiesD. change their colors to protect themselves( )2.How can pests with different colors from plants keep out of danger?A.

Because it is very and strong.B. Because the liquid it sends out can help it escape from its enemies.C. Because the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies.D. Because it swims faster than any other fish.( )5.Which is the best title for this passage?A. The Change of Colors for Animals and PestsB. Colors of Different Animals and PestsC. The Main Use of Colors for Animals and PestsD. Some Animals and Pests（10）In 1993 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had a n unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon(动画片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said”Stop! That’s our duck!”The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the firm The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight – minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper (发脾气) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody like Mickey. In the 1930S, ‘ 40s and ‘ 50s Donald and his friends Micke y, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared – there were no more new cartoons.Clarence Nash died in February, 1985.

The first great invention was one that is still very important today- the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn’t have to explore(探测) much any more. They began to work instead to make life better.In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today.The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909. Movies with sound in 1926. The computer in 1928. And jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear.By this time most people had a very good life, Man has a desire to explore again, The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan , have made their steps into space.In 1969 man took his biggest step from the earth. Americans first walked on the moon.

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.

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.
