第五册A BIG CHANCE大好机会
3.和你的茶
Ray Martin，小镇足球俱乐部的新老板，非常不开心。比赛进行了几乎一半了，他的队伍1：0领先。
Ray冲到更衣室和队员讲话。11杯茶备好了等着队员们。
球队跑了进来，看上去疲惫但是很高兴。
4.“踢得好！小伙子们”，Ray笑着说，“你们一定渴了。趁热喝了茶”
“等一下，老板”，队长Steve说。
然后Ray注意到队员们一个个把他们的茶杯拿到浴室。他们回来时，杯子空了。
“这太可笑了，”Ray心想，“在浴室里喝茶。”
5.队长Steve拿起他的茶杯。Ray跟着他。在浴室，Steve把茶倒进水槽。
“怎么回事?”Ray问。
Steve吓了一跳，茶杯掉在地上。杯子摔碎的声音引着其他队员跑了进来。
“都怪他，”Steve抽泣着，“他吓了我一跳。“
“我们该怎么办？”守门员Nick难过地说。
“或许我们能把它粘起来”，Steve说。
6.“谁能告诉我到底怎么回事？”Ray说，“你们为什么把茶都倒进水槽？”
没有人说话。
“嗯？”
“因为茶不好喝。”
“一个破茶杯有什么大惊小怪的？”
“Hilda，”有人轻声说。
“谁是Hilda？”
“她煮的茶”，Nick小声说。
“那么我得告诉她茶不好喝。”
7.“嘘，”，队员们说，“她会听见你的。”
“她当然会听见我，”Ray说。
“哦，天哪”，Nick说。
“怪了，”Ray说“十几个大小伙子，怕一个沏茶的小老太太。”“哦，”一个队员说，“她不小。”
“她也不老。”另一个说。
“我们不是有点怕她，”Steve说，“我们是感到恐惧。”
“够了！”Ray说，“在哪儿能找到这个Hilda？”
“在茶水亭”，Nick说。
Ray大步走出门。
“祝你好运，“有人说。
Ray遇到Hilda
8.茶水亭是一辆旧的宿营车。Ray加入了排队的球迷中。
“请给我一杯茶，加些奶，不要糖，”一个大个子男人说。
“我给你什么你喝什么，你会喜欢的”。宿营车里一个声音说。
队伍里的下一个人手里已经有一杯茶。“对不起，”他有礼貌的说，
“怎么啦？”那个声音说。
“很抱歉打扰您，”那个人接着说，“但是这杯茶不是很好喝。”
9.“你说什么？”
宿营车开始颤动。宿营车开始摇晃。突然一声巨响，车门飞离了门轴。
原来是车门的洞里站着Hilda，她穿着绿裙子，一个围裙，毛衣上写着“小镇足球俱乐部“。
“Hilda“，Ray倒吸一口冷气。
10. Hilda走下宿营车，卷起袖管。她大步走向那个人。
“你知道我怎么对付总是细化抱怨的大米妮吗？“
“我不知道，”那个人结结巴巴说。
“我这么做，”Hilda说。
她抓起那个人，把他扛在肩上，大步走向球场。
“救命啊！“那个人大喊。
11. Hilda大步走到射门区。她把那人举过头顶，放到球门横梁上。
“放我下来，”那人大喊道。
Hilda大步走回茶水亭。
“你看什么看！”她对一个球迷说。
“没看啥。”
“地上的茶杯是你的吗？”
“额……”
“放到垃圾桶里。”
12. Hilda爬回车里。
“好，“Hilda说，“谁还抱怨？”
“我还是比赛结束后再和她谈吧，”ray心想。
几个球迷帮忙把那个人从球门柱上放下来。
“不好意思，“Ray问他们，“如果茶那么难喝，你们为啥买呢？”
13.一个球迷朝茶水亭方向看了看，“没事，”他说，“她朝别处看呢。”
“如果你不买茶，”另一个悄悄说，“她会出来让你和两杯茶。”
“所以，”另一个说，“还是买一杯安全一点，然后倒了”。
Ray环顾四周，发现看台上都是一滩一滩的茶水。
“她必须离开，“Ray心里想。
14. Ray走回更衣室。队员们刚刚离开开始下半场比赛。Ray没有看比赛，而是来回踱步。小镇队最后一3：1赢了比赛。队员们回到更衣室时，Ray拍拍他们的背。
“好了，”他勇敢的说，“我去和Hilda谈话了。”
队员们挤到浴室。守门员Nick趴到Steve肩上。他朝窗外望去。
“怎么样？”其他人问。
“他走到茶水亭了”。
“好！”
“他在和Hilda说话。哦，不，他往回走了。”
队员们冲出浴室，把Nick一个人留在窗台上。“
“嘿，小伙子们，放我下来。“Nick喊道。
15.更衣室门开了。Ray摇摇晃晃进来，头上扣了一个茶水桶。
“看来你跟她说了，“Steve一边说一遍拔下茶水桶。
更衣室的门被踢开，Hilda冲进来。
“你带着我的茶桶去哪儿？“
就在这时，浴室传来一声可怕的撞击声。
17所有人冲进浴室。Nick躺在地上。
“我摔倒了，”他痛苦地说“我的腿疼。”
“他下周没法比赛了”，Steve难过的说。
“那是和城市队争夺奖杯的比赛，”Hilda说。
“那正是我需要的”，Ray嘟囔着，“守门员守不了球，茶水工沏不了
茶。”“你说什么？”Hilda怒吼道。
18.更衣室静了下来。
“我……”Ray开口说。
突然，Hilda抽泣起来。“你以为我不知道是怎么回事吗？”她叹气说，“我看到人们把茶倒了。我很努力想沏一杯好喝的茶，但我做不到。总是做不好。”
然后，Hilda脱下围裙，哭了。队员们从没见过Hilda哭。这比看她发火更可怕。
19. Ray用胳膊搂住Hilda的肩。
“对不起，”他说，“我不应该说你的茶不好。”
“但那是事实。“Hilda大哭道。
“我怎么补偿你呢？“Ray问？
Hilda慢慢让围裙落在地上。嘴角泛起一丝微笑，“你可以让我周六比赛当守门员。”“不可能，”Ray说。
20.“但是没有其他人了，”Steve说。
“让我再想想，”Ray说。
“再想想，”Hilda不屑地说，“如果周六我不上，会发生两件事：一，我们会输了和城市队的比赛，因为我们没有守门员。”
“还有呢？”
“我会把你塞回茶桶，因为你不让我去比赛。”
“先生们，”Ray说，“请允许我介绍Hilda，我们的新守门员。”
正式守门员
21.在人群的欢呼声中，两支球队跑到球场上。Hilda大步走到城市队一端的球门。人群中有人喊，“那不是正式的守门员，她是茶水女工！”
Hilda慢慢转过身。
“谁说的？”她咆哮道。
人群变安静了。
“我问是谁说的？”
22.她用手指着人群。
“是你。过来。
一个围着城市队围巾的人紧张不安地站到人群前。
“对，蹲下，”Hilda生气地说，“你就坐在球门旁边，我能盯着你。至于其他的城市队球迷，你们可以为自己的队伍加油，但不能对我出言不逊。明白啦？”
“是的，Hilda，”城市队球迷一口同声地说。
23.比赛开始了。不一会儿，城市队发起了进攻。中卫突破防线奔向球门。他就要射门了，突然看到Hilda向他跑来。
“呀~”Hilda尖声叫道。那个球员吓了一跳，他一脚把球踢飞了，求飞过横梁飞到人群中。城市队球迷一阵唏嘘。
“把球拿过来。”Hilda说。
Hilda把球踢回球场。
24.到中场时，两个球队都没得分。
“大家踢得好，“Ray笑着说。当他和队员们说话时，注意到有些不对劲儿。
每个人都在开心地喝茶。
下半场进行地很拖沓，似乎没人能得分。
Hilda看了一下表。时间快到了。她转身对身后的球迷说
“如果是平局怎么办？“她问。
“必须再踢半小时加时赛，”有人喊道。
25.“还得在寒风中在站半小时？”Hilda说，“去它的吧。”
她大步走到球场。一个城市队球员在控球。Hilda朝他冲过去。他吃了一惊，他把球传给Hilda，而不是自己的队友。
Hilda一鼓作气跑到球场，喊着“我要结束这场比赛。别挡道。”
所有球员都闪开了，Hilda进球得分。
26.裁判吹哨结束比赛，小镇队把Hilda扛在肩上。他们让她去领奖杯。
“如果你们爱Hilda，鼓掌吧。”人群齐声喊道。球迷们掌声雷鸣。
“听那掌声，”Steve说，“他们爱你。”
“你说的队，”Hilda说，“的确如此。现在让我们在江北里倒上茶。”
27.“等下，”Nick说。他一瘸一拐推着手推车走上球场。推车上有个有点茶渍的茶桶。
他把茶倒进奖杯。每个队员喝了一大口美味的茶水。
“原来是你沏的茶啊，”Steve说。
28.这个故事简单的结局就是Nick继续烹茶，而Hilda继续当守门员。但是当Nick的腿好了后，他告诉Ray他想继续比赛。
“这太好了，”Ray说。
“那Hilda怎么办？”Nick问。
“我来解决，”Ray笑着说。
29. Hilda想把门装回露营车。
“能停一下吗？”Ray问。
Hilda放下工具。
“我想谢谢你当守门员，”Ray说。
“但是Nick腿好了你不想让我再当守门员了，”Hilda说。“你怎么知道我想说什么？”
“我不是傻子，“Hilda用手绢抹着眼睛。
30.“还有点事，“Ray说。
“我想让球队看上去更现代化，所以我要丢掉这个露营车。
“哦，“Hilda说，”你更不就不要我了。“
“我需要你，“Ray笑着说，”所有的球迷和球队也需要你。所以我要让你负责一个全新的自动沏茶机器。“
31.“你是说，“Hilda说”我不用再沏茶了？
“是的”，Ray说。
“我愿意做这个工作，”Hilda说。
Hilda确保球迷为了她的茶会排成笔直的一队。她也会检查他们把纸杯丢掉垃圾桶里。
没人再抱怨茶了。
Hilda把人卡在球门上的事已经过去很久了。

初二英语阅读理解精选题(一) My class will put on a short play in English at the end of the year. Yesterday our English teacher gave us copies of the play. “Choose a character in the play whom you’d like to be, ”she told us. “This afternoon learn a few lines of this part for homework. Then tomorrow you can say those lines in front of the class. I’ll decide who play each part.” I wanted to have one of the bigger parts in the play, so I choose the part of the king. He has a lot of lines to say. I learned them by heart. This morning in our English lesson we had to say our lines. I acted the part of the king. When I said my lines, I put a lot of expression into my acting. I thought I acted really well. Everyone in the class read a part and then the teacher who would play each part. Many of the students in my class couldn’t act at all. They couldn’t even read without making lots of mistakes. I was sure that I would get a big part in the play. However, the teacher gave me the part of a soldier. He has only one line. It is, “Yes, sir!” I was very disappointed. At the end of the lesson I went up to her and asked her why I had such a small part. “You put too much expression in your acting,” she said. “Good acting is not big acting. It is acting the audience can believe in.” I think I know what she means. 48. What did the boy want to do in the play? A. To get an important part B. To organize the play C. To get a large acting part. D. To work the lights. 49. How did the boy feel when the teacher told the class they would put on a play? A. Bored. B. Sad. C. Excited. D. Unhappy.

八年级英语下册阅读理解经典题型带答案 一、八年级英语下册阅读理解专项练习（含答案解析） 1．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 When I was younger, bedtime was always my favorite part of the day. Wearing soft pajamas （睡衣裤） and with Lan, my stuffed monkey, in my arms, I felt no pressure at all. I named Lan after my uncle when I compared Lan's long arms and legs to his. One night I ran up to Uncle Lan at a family party and told him I had named my monkey after him. His eyebrows wrinkled （起皱纹）in confusion, and then a chuckle （哈哈大笑）escaped from his lips. I guess he didn't understand how important it was to me. Even if Uncle Lan didn't think my monkey was special, I certainly did. I dressed him in a white baby nightgown （睡衣）. My mother thought that Lan was the best-dressed stuffed animal in the world. Yes, he was certainly a fashionable creature. The strong cologne （科隆香水） I used on him years ago makes him still smell "pretty". For a long time, Lan went everywhere with me. He was my best friend, and I told him everything. But when I turned twelve, I realized I was too old for stuffed animals. I thought people would think I was babyish, so I put him in the cupboard with the rest of my teddy bears and dolls. I begged him to understand why I was doing this, but at the same time I longed to talk to him again. It took me several years to realize that it was OK to miss Lan. I know now that maturity （成熟） doesn't only mean growing up and taking on more responsibility （责任）. It also means holding on to your childhood and acting young sometimes. Lan has been with me since I was six years old. Holding him in my arms connects me with my past and my present as I continue growing and understanding myself. （1）Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A. Bedtime used to be the writer's favorite part of the day because of the stuffed monkey. B. Uncle Lan liked the stuffed monkey as much as the writer. C. The writer used to carry the monkey with her wherever she went. D. Years later the writer realized that it was not wrong to miss Monkey Lan. （2）The writer loved Monkey Lan deeply because ________. A. he could understand her B. he was a fashionable monkey C. he could talk with her D. he was her most honest listener （3）We can learn from the passage that the writer believes ________. A. keeping stuffed animals is babyish B. maturity doesn't mean growing up and taking on more responsibility C. one should keep to his childhood and act young sometimes even when he has grown up D. human beings should be kind to animals 【答案】（1）B （2）D

A More and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise. It is fun, healthy and good for the environment. Maybe that’s why there are 1.4 billion bicycles and only 400 million cars on roads worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil cost! Get on a bicycle and ride around your neighbourhood. You may discover something new all around you. Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your car.

一. 阅读理解 11. Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair, or your fridge? Probably they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, thanks to the so-called "Internet of things". The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. Earlier this year, Samsung CEO spent a lot of time talking about the Internet things. He said that five years from now, every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things, no matter whether it's a remote control or a washing machine. So, how do household(家用的) objects that are part of the Internet of things work? Well, think of a common chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold. An Internet-connected camera could help people feel safer in their homes. It can know people's faces and has an infrared sensor(红外传感器), so even if it's dark it can see when someone passes by and send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who's there. If the person is someone you don't know, it can tell you that, too. But according to MIT Technology Roview, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security (安全) systems to the Internet, there may be some problems. For example, many early connected-home objects don't have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked(被黑客攻击). Moreover, it could be difficult to get these new machines to work together especially when they are made by different companies. To fight this, many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 members by late 2014. So, picture this: you enter your home. The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think. ( ) 1. The Samsung CEO's speech is mentioned to prove that ______. A. Samsung has produced the Internet of things recently B. the Internet of things will appear in our daily life sooner C. Samsung products have been part of the Internet of things D. he spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things ( ) 2. We can infer(推断)from paragraphs 3 and 4 that ______. A. the chair can know whether the user feels cold or not B. a usual chair can warm up when it knows the user comes in C. an Internet-connected camera can be used to take photos in the house D. an Internet-connected camera can be connected to the user's smartphone ( ) 3. Paragraph 5 is mainly about ______. A. the possible problems of "the Internet of things" B. the problems with early connected-home objects C. how to get different new machines working together D. how to solve the "the Internet of things" problems ( ) 4. Which of the following words best describes the writer's tone(语气) in the article? A. Worried B. Doubtful C. Hopeful D. Humorous 12. Almost every day, we discuss the topic of health, especially for kids. But what is health? "Health" means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having a healthy weight. Let's read the following rules. They can help you stay healthy. Eat a variety of foods, especially fruits and vegetables. We all know that eating fruits and vegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favorite foods. Remember that we can only get the nutrition (营养) we need by eating different kinds of food, especially fruits and vegetables. Drink water and milk most often. Everyone knows that water is important. Besides that, kids need plenty of calcium(钙)to grow strong bones, and milk has a lot of it. Every day, you should drink at least three cups of milk (1300 milligrams of calcium), when you are 9 years old or older. You should also try to have less sugary drinks like soda and coca. They include a lot of added sugar. Sugar just includes calories without any important nutrition. Listen to your body. When you are eating, notice how you body feels. When your stomach feels comfortably full, stop eating. Eating too much makes you feel uncomfortable. If you do it too often, it can make you unhealthy and fat.

This gift was the Amber Room, which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it. The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey. The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days. It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels, which took the country's best artists about ten years to make. 弗雷德里克?威廉?我,普鲁士国王,从未想像过这恩赐与俄罗斯人会令人惊喜的历史。这个礼物,琥珀屋的,赐给这个名字,因为好几吨的琥珀被用来制造它。琥珀被选有一个美丽的黄棕色的颜色就像蜂蜜。房间的设计是别致的流行的日子。这也是一种珍惜用金子来装饰和珠宝,将国家的最好的艺术家们大约10年了。 In fact, the room was not made to be a gift. It was designed for the palace of Frederick I. However, the next King of Prussia, Frederick William I, to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. In return, the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room became part of the Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg. About four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors. 事实上,这个房间没有是作为礼物送人的。它是设计出用于弗雷德里克的宫殿。然而,普鲁士的下一任国王弗雷德里克威廉?我、就是琥珀属于,决定不去保持它。在1716他给了彼得最重要的东西。作为回报,沙皇送给他一群他最好的士兵。所以琥珀房成了沙皇的一部分在圣彼得堡冬宫。大约四米长,房间作为一个小接待大厅为重要的游客。 Later, Catherine II had the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details to it. In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted. Almost six hundred candles lit the room, and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold. Sadly, although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world, it is now missing. 后来,凯瑟琳二世琥珀屋的搬到一座宫殿外面圣彼得堡她在她的夏天。她告
