英语阅读理解带翻译10篇：给予Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving-away. If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper. One discovery I made about giving-away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation. “Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?”I said yes. “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints.”像大多数人，我长大看待生命是一个过程获得。

英语阅读理解练习题(初级)
英语阅读理解练习题(初级)（A）A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well,but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly（肚子）or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people’s rule.They make their own rule s. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar(奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easyto work in that way.Now the very same thing is true to literature(文学). And the question, "How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced(有经验的) enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you willnever ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail --that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.1. A friend of the writer’s drew the horses ____.A. very wellB. in the way of western ruleC. in the way of his own ruleD. all of the above2.

Costa RicaC. some products from Costa RicaD. the education of Costa Rica1Christian 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.

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 disappearsoon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for ayear or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again bychance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese tounderstand, 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. Anotherdifficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in theirpersonal 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 daysoff to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually athomes, 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 expectthat we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm andreal. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to goto 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 putit another way, you are who your friends are.Attitu des are important.

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. The underlined words “wind up” in the last paragraph probably mean “______”.A. blowB. roll upC. get hurtD. finish40. Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ______.A. cleverB. crazyC. lazyD. dullPassage 9A 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， “Yes，my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised． “You 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 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. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Chri stmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about.”Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.

基础英语阅读理解15篇(二)
基础英语阅读理解15篇（二）一One does not find many outdoor cafes in Great Britain, for the weather there often changes during the day. When British people want to have some drinks either with a group of friends or by themselves, they usually go to a pub. The “pub” is the short form for “public house”. In a pub people can buy all kinds of drinks, from beer to orange juice. The Englishman’s favorite drink is beer.Quite a lot of businessmen have lunch in pubs near their offices because in many pubs fast food is served. There may even be a restaurant in a pub. The food they sell is usually cheap and good. In the countryside the pub is often part of an inn – a kind of small hotel. People can stay there for the night.The opening time of pubs is set by law. It might be different from place to place, but usually a pub is open from half past eleven to three o’clock and from half past five to half past ten or eleven o’clock. In the old days, children were not allowed to ent er pubs, because when people drank too much they could become troublesome. Today, however, more and more pubs are opening their gardens to customers, so that the children can play safely in the garden while their parents are having a quick drink.Generally speaking, the English pub is a friendly place, and offers good drink and food.1. Where do British people usually go for drinks?A. Cafes.B. Pubs.C. Restaurants.D. Hotels.2. At the most, how many opening hours does a pub usually have every day?A. 8 hours.B. 9 hours.C. 10 hours.D. 11 hours.3. Why were children not allowed to enter pubs in the old days?A. Because people often drank too much and became troublesome.B. Because the pubs did not open their gardens to children.C. Because the pubs had no orange juice for children.D. Because people liked to stay in the pubs for the night.4. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Englishmen like to drink beer very much.B. You can stay for the night in countryside pubs.C. Usually pubs don't open until half past eleven.D. Up to now, children are not allowed to enter pubs.二Students in our school have one thing in common-an interest in sports. According to their different aims in doing sports, they fall into three groups.Many students go to the playground when they feel tired after a few hours of study. These students put much more stress on their study efficiency(效率）than the fun of sports. They just want to go back to their classrooms from the playground with a clearer and quicker mind. So they don't actually care whether they can enjoy themselves on the playground. Most of them choose long-distance running, the kind of exercise which few real sportsmen like. So this group of students can be well regarded as study-oriented participants(参加者）.Students that make up the second group are real sports lovers. Sometimes they even put aside their studies for a match. They participate in the sport that interests them most, not caring whether it is good for their health. They may be called fun-oriented sports participants.The third group want beauty from sports. Boys want to become strong；girls want to be slim and graceful. Those who consider sports the only way of losing weight also belong to this group. They are very careful in choosing the kind of exercise they do, and are afraid that certain sports may influence their body shapes. The proper name for this group may be beauty-oriented sports participants.No matter which group we belong to, we all benefit(受益）from sports. If you look around the school yard, you will find that bookworms have disappeared, and instead, there are healthy, strong, clever and modernized students everywhere.1. The common interest of the three groups is .A. studyB. sportsC. funD. beauty2. The study-oriented group .A. think the study efficiency is more importantB. enjoy themselves on the playgroundC. choose long-distance running as real sportsmen doD. want to study sports3.

The two systems are similar to each other, but there are also important differences between them. The following table sets out some of the similarities and differences.

We usually think of grass as food for animals, but humans eat grass, too.Humans eat the seeds (种子) of the grass. Rice is a special kind of grass that has big seeds, and they taste good! There are over 100 different kinds of rice grown around the world. Over many years, humans have changed rice to have more and larger seeds, and it has become a very important food. After corn, it is the most popular seed in the world. It is the basic food for a large part of the world’s popul ation.How often do you eat rice? We are eating it less often than we used to.

Seven others were so badly damaged (破坏) that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or broken roofs. One person was killed, several were badly hurt and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller hurt.

A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and f ound him, safe but very frightened.”Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.“There was no time to take anything,” she said, “A few minutes later, the roof came down.”Soldiers helped to take people out of the flooded (水淹的) area and the welfare department (福利机构) brought them food, clothes and shelter.1.

Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.In the early years, these schools were nearly the same. Only young men went to college. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin and Greek. Little was known about science. And few people knew that one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers.In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could study in Harvard’s law school. In 1825, besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began to teach modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began to teach American history.As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them.Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities. Most of them are made up of smaller schools that deal with special fields of learning. There’s so much to learn that one kind of school can’t offer all.1. In the early years, people learned ________ in colleges.A. scienceB. medicineC. lawD. Latin and Greek2.

He held it up for all to see, and asked the students, “ How much do you think this glass weighs?”“50 g!” “100 g!” “125 g!” the students answered.“ I really don’t know unless I weigh it,” said the teacher, “but my question is what would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?”“Nothing!” the students said.“OK. What would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?” the teacher asked.“Your arm would begin to ache,” said one of the students.“You’re right. Now, what would happen if I held it for a day?”“Your arm could go numb. Have to go to hospital for sure!” said another student. All the students laughed.“Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?” asked the teacher.“No.” the students said.“Then what caused the arm ache and the muscle (肌肉) stress?”The students fell silent for a moment.“Put the glass down!” said one of the students.“Exactly!” said the teacher. “The problems of life are something like this. Hold th em for a few minutes in your head, and it seems OK. Think of them for a long time and they begin to make you ache. Hold them even longer and you will not be able to do anything. It’s important to think of the challenges in your life, but it’s even more imp ortant to put them down at the end of every day before you go to sleep. That way, you are not stressed. You wake up fresh and strong and can handle (处理) any challenge that comes your way!”Remember to put the glass down today.1. Why did the teacher hold up a glass in his class?

But how do satellites stay up without falling down?There are two opposite forces (力量) acting on the satellite. One of them is the force of gravitation (地心引力), which tries to pull the satellite towards the earth. The other force is created by the rotation (旋转) of the satellite around the earth. This force tries to take the satellite away from the earth. With these two forces, the satellite goes round and round. The gravitational pull of the earth (the force which pulls everything towards the ground) is like a rope which keeps the satellite from flying away.Everything that goes up has to come down. It is only a matter of time before a satellite comes back to the earth. As time goes by, the satellite loses its speed, which makes the gravitational pull stronger than the force pulling it away. This makes the satellite crash (坠落) down to the earth.1. Which of the following uses of satellites is NOT mentioned?A. communicationB. monitoring the weather conditionC. doing some researchD.taking pictures2. The force that pulls the satellite towards the earth is created by ________.A. the earthB. the satellite itselfC. the rotation of the satelliteD. the rope3. Why can’t the satellites fly away?A. Because of the force from the earth.B. Because the satellite is too big.C. Because of the force created by the rotation of the satellite around the earth.D. Because people on earth have made ropes to tie the satellites tightly.4. The satellite will finally crashes down to the earth ________.A. when it flies fasterB. when its speed slows downC. when people cut the ropeD. when there is no electricity in it5. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. There are four forces acting on the satellite.B. The force of gravitation makes the satellite go round and round.C. As time goes by, the satellite will finally fall down.D. The satellite will stay in space forever.九H ave you heard about “Survival Holidays”? It is for c hildren to gointo the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,100companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoorswithout their parents.The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they thinkbeing close to nature is good for children. Many children in big citiesspend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “SurvivalHolidays” gives them an important change.Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing (干扰) them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled (控制) by adults, which causes many problems. Children don’t know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even slight danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in dangerous times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.1. What is “Survival Holidays” according to the passage?A. It is summer holidays.B. It is winter holidays.C.

But students in Yat Sen middle school in New York, US, don’t think so. Why? Because they are in the school of One Program, which asks students to work on their own or in small g roups on computers to have math lessons.“The program gives the students a new learning style. No traditional classroom can compare with it. We give each lesson according to the students’ interest and their strong and weak points,”said JoelⅠ. Klein, the school’s head teacher, “we’re looking for a new way that interest students children.”Students enjoy these math lessons, especially lessons with video games. They must find out the answers to math problems to get through the game. One such game is Dimension M. As students move through mazes(迷宫) with their keyboards, some questions come up.Caleb Deng had to answer the question: What is 5+ (6×3)? He calculated on paper quickly because there was just a m inute left to play.“ I was right,” said Deng, 14, as he ended the game with a high score (高分). “this really makes math lessons more exciting, since we are fighting to learn better.”1.

Everybody must have 12 grapes(葡萄) to eat at midnight. At each sound of the clock, we must eat a group. But we can’t ever finish eating the grapes on time! Usually when people still have some grapes in their mouths, they look at each other and start to laugh. This tradition started in Spain long ago. One year, when there were a lot of grapes, the king of Spain decided to give grapes to everybody to eat on New Year’s Eve.B Cordon from BritainOn New Year’s Day in Britain, people have parties. At 12 o’clock, the music stops, and we listen to the radio. On the radio we hear Big Ben, the famous clock in London. Then everybody sings a song about friendship and kisses their friends. We say “Happy New Year” to each other. It’s lucky if a tall man with dark hair is the first person to come to the house in the new year. So I go and visit as many friends as I can. They all give me a drink.C Angela from BrazilIn all cities in Brazil, we have a big party on New Year’s Eve, especially in Rio de Janeiro. People in this city go to the beaches to watch fireworks(焰火)。

Hyperloop Could Travel Amsterdam to Paris in 90 MinutesHardt Hyperloop, a Dutch technology company, has worked with the province of North Holland to study plans for a hyperloop between Amsterdam and Paris.The study found that passengers on a hyperloop could get from Amsterdam to Brussels in less than half an hour, or to Paris in an hour and a half. Today, going from Amsterdam to Brussels by train takes about two hours, and it's almost three and a half hours to Paris. Billionaire Elon Musk first started talking about hyperloops in 2012. It's an idea for a new kind of public transport, similar to a train, where pods travel through tubes that have very little air inside them. With less air to slow them down, the pods could go over 950 kilometers an hour – twice as fast as the world's fastest train, and almost as fast as the speed of sound.By making it faster and easier for workers to travel between large cities in nearby countries, the study found that a hyperloop could increase North Holland's gross domestic product (GDP) by over $298 billion, or 121%.The hyperloop could also mean that between 20,000 and 24,000 fewer flights would be needed at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol by 2040. Hardt also says the hyperloop would use less energy per passenger than a train or plane; Elon Musk has even suggested putting solar panels on hyperloops to power them.Jeroen Olthof, the deputy responsible for mobility in North Holland, said that people were willing to travel up to an hour to get to work, and a hyperloop would let them travel much farther in that time. He called the idea of a hyperloop "very promising."Hardt Hyperloop is building a 3 kilometer test track in the Dutch province of Groningen to continue researching the technology.。

French Inventor Makes It Halfway to England On FlyboardThe French inventor of the Flyboard made it more than halfway across the English Channel before falling into the sea.Franky Zapata tried to fly 36 kilometers from the French town of Sangatte to Dover in England, but faced problems when trying to land on a refueling platform in the channel. The platform was moving too much from the waves and Zapata was unable to grab onto it.Zapata's Flyboard was broken and he had to be helped out of the water by divers. The 40 year old was not hurt and says he will try to cross the English Channel again.The Flyboard went as fast as 177 kilometers per hour, and Zapata traveled 20 kilometers in total – the longest he had ever traveled on his Flyboard."I felt really great. It's just fantastic," Zapata told journalists later. "I was flying. It was like a dream."He planned the flight for July 25, because that is the day that Louis Bleriot made the first successful flight across the English Channel in 1909. The beach where Zapata started his journey is named after Bleriot.The Flyboard that Zapata used for his flight is the same type that he sells through his business.。

Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, Man moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.Air pollution is still the most serious. It's bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air.Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. It is sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.The earth is our home. We must take care of it.
