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

一、阅读理解1. Storytelling has caught the human imagination for thousands of years. People everywhere have told stories to amuse(消遣), to teach, toremember, and just to pass the time. People started telling stories long before writing was invented. 1 But people all over the world still tell one another stories out loud. A person who can tell a good story nearly always finds listeners.Before people developed writing, storytelling was the most important way to pass along information. Anything a culture wanted to protect—its beliefs, its history, and its traditions—had to be told out loud. Each generation would tell the culture’s stories to the next. 2 Knowledge passed on in this method is called the spoken tradition. Even cultures that know how to write still pass along some information in this way.3 In other cultures only special storytellers were trusted to do this important job. A culture’s best storytellers had good memories. Theycould also make the stories very interesting, so people would listen and remember them. Sometimes people would sing the stories or tell them in the form of poems. 4However, stories told aloud change over time as different people tell them. A storyteller might change a story in order to make it better. Or a teller may simply not remember all the details of a story. Unlike written stories, the spoken tradition is not created by any one person. 5 Sometimes the stories are collected and written down long after they have been created.A．In this way the stories were passed along.B．In some cultures everyone would pass along the stories.C．Soon storytelling became very popular all over the world.D．Songs and poems can both make stories easier to remember.E．Instead, a whole culture helps shape the changing stories in history.F．The spoken tradition is created by good storytellers rather than listeners.G．Today stories are also written down in books and acted out in movies, TV shows, and plays.2. One day, while my friend and I were traveling through Germany, we were very hungry but we didn’t have a lot of money. 1 I chosesome cookies and went to the front counter to pay. Near the counter I saw some packaged (包装好的) cookies in a large box. 2 I decided to take them instead so that we could save money.3 We found a quiet place under a tree and we ate our sandwiches first, and then the cookies. We thought they were great.“Let’s get these again,” I said. “ 4 ”My friend can read some German, but I can’t, so I gave her the package in order that she could look for the brand (品牌) name. 5“Why are you laughing?” I asked.“Because they’re dog biscuits!” she said.A．We left the store and looked for a place where we could eat.B．She looked at it and then started to laugh.C．We decided to stop at a small store to get some food.D．They’re cheap and they really taste good.E．More and more people will go there.F．She liked Germany very much.G．They looked good and were a lot cheaper than the ones I had in my hand.文章大意：本文主要介绍了一位中学生发明的环保垃圾袋，介绍了发明它的起因，它的用处等。

However, when she first walked past the students in the school, her excitement turned to fear, and then to loneliness（孤独） over the next few days. "Why didn't anyone say 'hi' to me or invite me to his or her lunch table? Is it because of my clothes or my hair?" she wondered. Almost every day during the first week, Anna stayed alone, thinking that there must have been something wrong with her or that nobody saw her at all!What caused Anna's problem? The reason was that nobody knew her. Most people don't like talking with strangers. So it's your job to volunteer to make contact with people who you want to know. The easiest way to catch their attention is to notice them first. Make eye contact with them, and smile at them. When you smile at them, you are doing your best to show your kindness to them, and they are sure to understand that you are saying, "Hey, how's everything going?" In this way, you are taking the first step towards the road to friendship.When Anna realized this, she started talking to her classmates. Guess what happened? It really worked. She had made two friends by the end of the month.In fact, saying "hi" or making friends with strangers is not hard. And the joy it brings you is really great. So try to open your heart to strangers!（1）Which of the following shows the change in Anna's feelings?A. excited→afraid→lonely→happyB. happy→lonely→sad→proudC. afraid→relaxed→nervous→happyD. nervous→angry→happy→sad（2）The underlined word "contact" in Paragraph 2 means .A. agreeB. greetC. praiseD. communicate（3）According to the writer's opinion, which is the easiest way to catch others' attention?A.

Teenagers can't get along well with each other.C. Opening our heart to strangers can help us get friends.D. It's hard to take the first step towards the road to friendship.4．阅读理解When my brother and I were children, we spent a few weeks each summer in the countryside with our uncle. He was a geologist and loved to go on long walks to find stones to add to his collection at the university. More often than not, we followed him.One day, we left early and this time, our uncle gave us two backpacks. "You can help me carry the samples（样本）," he explained.Sure, why not? The whole day, we walked around the countryside, and every now and then, our uncle put stones in our bags. We were a bit surprised that sometimes he also took some stones out from our bags, but thought he had just found better samples.We reached the house in the late afternoon. The backpacks were so heavy that we were really tired out when we put them on the ground. Yet our uncle's backpack was half-empty."Why did you give us so many stones?" we asked. "I didn't. You did, "he said, waiting for a while before continuing." You did not know it, but I made you go through a little attitude（态度） test today.""What do you mean an attitude test?" we wanted to know."It is something someone once did to me. You see, I listened to every word you said. And whenever you complained（抱怨） about anyone or anything, I added a stone to your bags. And whenever you talked about something in an attitude of positive thinking, I took out a stone. And now look at your backpacks." We did. They were full. "I hope you remember this little attitude test. You see, your negative（负面的） thoughts are like stones. You carry them in your mind just like those stones in a backpack. The more negative thoughts you have, the heavier your mind is. So look at those bags and start paying attention to what you say and how you say things."This little lesson was one of the most important I ever had.

Besides, in decent（像样的）restaurants, you can always ask for a knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough. The real difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food, while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares. If you are being treated to a formal（正式的）dinner and particularly if the host thinks you're in the country for the first time, he will do his best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes. The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup will then be served （unless it is a Guangdong-style restaurant）, followed by rice, noodles or dumplings. Perhaps one of the things that surprise a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food onto their guests' plates. In formal dinners, there are always "public" chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts may use their own chopsticks. This is a sign of real friendship and politeness. It is always polite to eat the food. If you do not eat it, just leave the food on the plate. People in China tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrassing（令人尴尬的） if all the food is consumed（吃光）. When you have had enough, just say so, or you will always overeat!（1）What's the real difference between Chinese and Western table manners?A. The tools people use to eat.B. Whether people share food on the same plate.C. The things people like to eat.D. How to begin the dinner politely.（2）If a foreigner first comes to have dinner in a Chinese family, he may be _____.A. given little foodB. served with rice firstC. served with many dishesD. asked to use "public" chopsticks（3）Which of the following is the RIGHT order for most Chinese formal dinners according to the passage?A. Rice-soup-hot meat-cold dishes.B. Vegetable dishes-soup-dumplings-cold dishes.C. Cold dishes-hot meat-soup-rice.D. Cold dishes-soup-hot meat-rice.（4）What's the best title for this passage?A. Having dinner with foreignersB. How to use chopsticksC. The importance of table mannersD. Chinese table manners6．阅读理解By Anna Matteo28 January, 2019A 3-year-old boy who was lost in the woods for two days is now safe at home with his family. But Casey Hathaway told his rescuers（救援者） that he was not alone in the rainy, freezing cold woods.

The computer program looks for different kinds of answers or patterns in the data. Big data can have different kinds of information from many sources, such as information that comes from schools, social media sites（社交媒体网站）, companies and governments. One set of data can have people's names and addresses. Another set can have what they like, where they go to school, and how much time they spend on the computer.Big data can be used in many ways. The government uses it to understand how many people travel on buses or trains. This information is then used to make bus or train systems better. Some schools use big data to understand which children may need more help in class. The teacher can then give certain students more help or support so those students can succeed in school. Companies use big data, too. It helps them understand who buys their products. For example, one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice cream.Big data can be used for good reasons. Some hospitals use big data to predict if a baby who is born too early will get sick. The hospital can then take extra steps to take care of that baby so he, she does not get sick. Big data can also be used for bad reasons. It can be used to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurt others, even if they have not done anything wrong.How can big data be used for good and bad things? It is because the computer programs used to look at big data and understand it are written by people. People think a certain way. Because they think a certain way, they build a model of those ideas. These ideas are then used to look at the data. Sometimes, these ideas are helpful for people or businesses. Other times, bad ideas can cause problems for certain groups of people.（1）This reading is about ______.A. what big data is and how it is usedB. what schools and hospitals people likeC. where important data is collected and storedD. how big data is controlled by governments and companies（2）One company uses weather information to ______.A. help children in needB. know when people will visit the hospitalC. find out who tides the bus or trainD. understand when people will need ice cream （3）The main idea of Paragraph 3 is ____.A. big data can be used for good reasonsB. we can use big data in a number of waysC. big data can be used for both good and bad reasonsD. we can use big data to stop babies from getting sick（4）The overall tone （总基调） of this reading is _________.A. sad and personalB. personal and scientificC. informative but sillyD. scientific and informative8．阅读理解Good food photography（摄影） makes the food look fresh, so many dishes have stand-ins （替身）, just as movie stars do. "When I get my lights and camera set up, I remove the stand-in and put in the real thing," explains Ray Webber, who photographs food for magazine advertisements. "Sometimes I have to brush the food with its juices because it may have dried out a bit. And when I'm shooting（拍摄） something like tomatoes, I always carry an atomizer （喷雾器） of water to spray（喷洒） them with dew（水珠） just before I shoot."Shooting food outdoors has special problems. "I'm always worrying about flies or worms （虫） coming up the glass," Webber explains. "I am also worried that someday a dog will come up from behind and run off with the food."

It is said that if you take care of your body, then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in the first place.There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not eating enough food, genes（基因）and. aging（老化）. Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you happen to work in front of a computer, you'd better take a break every once in a while.Something dirty can cause redness and it will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes, too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things.

Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because they protect your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly（定期地） and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.All above are natural ways of eye care that help us keep healthy eyes.

However, when she first walked past the students in the school, her excitement turned to fear, and then to loneliness（孤独） over the next few days. "Why didn't anyone say 'hi' to me or invite me to his or her lunch table? Is it because of my clothes or my hair?" she wondered. Almost every day during the first week, Anna stayed alone, thinking that there must have been something wrong with her or that nobody saw her at all!What caused Anna's problem? The reason was that nobody knew her. Most people don't like talking with strangers. So it's your job to volunteer to make contact with people who you want to know. The easiest way to catch their attention is to notice them first. Make eye contact with them, and smile at them. When you smile at them, you are doing your best to show your kindness to them, and they are sure to understand that you are saying, "Hey, how's everything going?" In thisway, you are taking the first step towards the road to friendship.When Anna realized this, she started talking to her classmates. Guess what happened? It really worked. She had made two friends by the end of the month.In fact, saying "hi" or making friends with strangers is not hard. And the joy it brings you is really great.

The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it, and those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smartphone and left anywhere in public. Bike-sharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily.In some cities, we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharing-bikes. It's very convenient to use the bikes if you have a smartphone. First, you have to download such an app on your smartphone. Then what you need to do is find a nearest hike through the app, scan the QR code on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection. You will find the bike can be unlocked itself. Then you can enjoy your trip. What's more, the greatest advantage of hike- sharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend. Normally, every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesn't cost so much, does it?At the same time, some people park the hikes in their own homes. Besides, some people don't value the bikes. Now service companies are trying to solve the problems like being stolen.Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles. We have to say bike- sharing brings us more convenience without doubt. And we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also put it to good use.（1）From the first paragraph, we know ______.A. bike-sharing is invented in ChinaB. sharing-bikes are used by some peopleC. most people in cities don t driveD. sharing-bikes can be borrowed anywhere（2）II you want to use a sharing-bike, you must _________ first.A. have a smartphone and download an appB. download an app and pay for the tripC. unlock the bike and download an appD. find a nearest bike and borrow it from anyone（3）Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?A.

Others grow up small and unhealthy. In search of food, hungry deer move closer to where humans live. They eatfarm crops, vegetables and even trees. Besides, increased numbers of deer near roads can cause traffic accidents.People admire the grace and fast speed of deer. Most people don't want these animals to be hungry and ill. Should people take action to control the growing deer populations?Should People Take Direct Action?Many people think that hunting（打猎） is the best way to control the animal populations. Wildlife managers will see if there's enough food in an area and decide its carrying capacity（容量）. Then hunters with licenses are sent to help control the number of deer. Hunting is usually not allowed in cities or suburbs, however.Some people have the idea to catch the deer and move them to other places. But this methodis expensive and requires finding another place that can accept the deer without breaking the balance of ecosystem（生态系统）.Scientists are also working to develop chemicals（化学药品） to control the birth rate（率）in deer populations. But this plan works for only one year at a time.Should People Take Indirect Action?Some suggest bringing in natural enemies of deer, such as wolves, lions and bears, to areas with too many deer. But these animals could also hurt dogs, cats, and even humans. Other communities have built tall fences（篱笆） around areas to keep out the deer. However, this is impossible for farmers.▲Some people are against any kind of action. They support leaving the deer alone. Animal populations in an area naturally go up and down over time. Doing nothing means that some deer will die of hunger or illness. But finally, the population will reach a size within the carrying capacity（容量） of the environment. So, let nature go its own way.（1）According to the passage, increased numbers of deer can bring to people in the area.A. water pollutionB. traffic accidentsC. serious illnessesD. growing populations（2）Which of the following is the best to fill in the " ▲ " in the passage?A. Should People Do Nothing?B. Should People Protect the Deer?C. Should People Take Special Action?D. Should People Drive the Deer Away?（3）The writer most probably agrees that .A. farmers can build fences to keep the deer outB. people should leave the deer alone in the wildC. hunting is the best way to control the deer populationsD. it's great to catch the deer and move them to other places（4）The writer organizes this passage by .A. telling storiesB. using numbersC. giving opinionsD. describing scenes （场景）7．阅读理解By Anna Matteo28 January, 2019A 3-year-old boy who was lost in the woods for two days is now safe at home with his family.

Some colors can make people feel relaxed, and some colors can make people feel nervous. Now, this kind of knowledge is being used in many places. For example, school walls are always painted green because green makes students feel relaxed. It is also good for the students' eyes. Some books are also green or light blue for the same reason. Restaurant owners not only have to know how to make food, but also have to know how to make money. Here are some things they've learned from scientific studies. The color red makes people hungry. Many fast food restaurants have red furniture or walls. Soft colors like pink and light blue make people feel relaxed, so they spend more time eating. Loud music may be nice at first, but it soon makes people want to leave. Hard seats also make customers want to eat quickly and leave. Many restaurants, especially fast food restaurants, use this knowledge to make customers eat faster.（1）How does the color green make the students feel?A. Hungry.B. Nervous.C. Angry.D. Relaxed.（2）Which color isn't mentioned in this passage?A. Green.B. White.C. Light blue.D.

Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap （代沟）.Don't argue （争辩） with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.Try to reach a compromise （和解）. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something.You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect （尊敬） to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!（1）According to the passage who have a communication problem?A. parents and other peopleB. only school kids and their parentsC. teachers and their studentsD. parents and children of all ages（2）How many pieces of advice does the writer give us to bridge the generation gap?A. 5.B. 4.C. 3.D. 2.（3）The underlined word "bridge" in the passage means "___________".A. 建立B. 消除C. 通过D. 到达（4）If the values of your parents are different from those of yours, you'd better ___________.A. argue with themB. keep away from themC. agree with them all the timeD. tell your parents what you care about（5）The best title for the passage is ___________.A.

初中英语阅读理解练习题和答案初中英语阅读理解练习题和答案阅读理解题在初中英语考试中所占的分值相对较大。

下面给大家整理了初中英语阅读理解练习题及答案，希望对大家有所帮助!初中英语阅读理解练习题和答案篇1When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect(尊敬) elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the 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 retireor 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.By Jack根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。
