八年级初二语文阅读理解(含答案)
八年级初二语文阅读理解（含答案）（一）送花生活的真谛并不神秘，幸福的源泉大家也知道，只是常常忘了，于是这才真有点奥妙。
故事是由一个守墓人亲身经历和看到的。
一连好几年，这位温和的小个子守墓人每星期都收到一个不相识的妇人的来信，信里附着钞票，要他每周给她儿子的墓地放一束鲜花，后来有一天，他们照面了。
那天，一辆小车开来停在公墓大门口，司机匆匆来到守墓人的小屋，说“夫人在门口、车上。
她病得走不动，请你去一下。
”一位上了年纪的妇人坐在车上，表情有几分高贵，但眼神已哀伤，毫无光采。
她怀抱着一大束鲜花。
“我就是亚当夫人，”她说“这几年我每礼拜给你寄钱……”“买花。
”守墓人应道。
“对，给我儿子。
”“我一次也没忘了放花，夫人。
”“今天我亲自来，”亚当夫人温存地说，“因为医生说我活不了几个礼拜。
死了倒好，活着也没意思了。
我只是想再看一眼我儿子，亲手来放这些花。
”小个子守墓人眨巴着眼睛，没了主意。
他苦笑了一下，决定再讲几句。
“我说，夫人，这几年您常寄钱来买花，我总觉得可惜。
”“可惜？”“鲜花搁在那儿，几天就干了。
没人闻，没人看，太可惜了！”“你真是这么想的？”△“是的，夫人，你别见怪。
我是想起来自己常跑医院孤儿院，那儿的人可爱花了。
他们爱看花，爱闻花。
那儿都是活人，可这儿墓里哪个活着？”老夫人没有作答。
她只是小坐了一会儿，默默地祷告了一阵，没留话便走了。
守墓人人后悔自己一番话太率直、太欠考虑，这会使她受不了。
可是几个月后，这位老妇人又忽然来访，把守墓人惊得目瞪口呆：她这回是自己开车来的。
“我把花都给那儿的人们了，”她友好地向守墓人微笑着，你说得对，他们看到花可高兴了，这真叫我快活！我的病好转了，医生不明白是怎么回事，可我自己明白，。
不错，她发现了我们大家都懂得却又常常忘记的道理：活着要对别人有些用处才能快活。

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”。
初中记叙文阅读理解(7篇)含答案
一．阅读下面的文章，回答下列各小题。
回家①已近年关，隐藏在大山褶皱里的小县城年味渐浓。
火车的汽笛声频繁地响起。
一条悠长的巷道里藏着几户人家。
一座陈旧的小四合院里传来清脆的电话铃声。
②妈，再过一两个小时我们就到家了，晚饭回家吃，一年没吃到您做的饭了，呵呵。
③你这孩子，咋突然就改主意了？不早讲，也好让妈提前高兴着，刚才还和苗苗念叨呢，苗苗一直想去看你们呢。
④不是想给您个惊喜吗，呵呵。
⑤好好好，妈这就准备去。
苗苗奶奶放下电话，苗苗，你都听到了吧，你爸妈一会就到家喽，自己好好玩，奶奶给你做好吃的。
奶奶脸上的皱纹一下全舒展开了。
⑥五岁的苗苗听说爸妈要回家了，高兴得手舞足蹈，冲向大门口。
奶奶扶起被门槛绊倒的孙子，轻拍了下孙子的小脑瓜，乐呵呵跑进了厨房。
⑦就是，有钱没钱也得回家过年嘛。
你们不记挂妈，不记挂苗苗，俺祖孙俩可天天伸脖子盼呢。
苗苗奶奶一边自言自语，一边恨不得手脚并用地忙活。
一切准备就绪，额头上竟沁出了一层细密的汗珠。
瞅着还算丰盛的菜肴，关键都是儿子媳妇爱吃的，喜滋滋地擦了擦汗，又捶了几下腰，却并不急着点火。
天寒地冻的，等着儿子媳妇回家边炒边吃。
也就在此时她才忽然想起小孙子，好像老一会没听到动静了，心里不知咋的“咯噔”一下，边喊边出了厨房，无人应答。
⑧苗苗奶奶翻遍了满屋满院，犄角旮旯，仍不见小孙子人影，便心慌慌地跑出院子，挨家挨户寻找。
邻居们都是一样的答案，她大声呼喊着追出巷子，来到街上，四下里飞速扫了一遍，眼里满是失望和惊恐。
⑨这个节骨眼上孙子要是出点啥事，这个年还咋过？我咋向他爸妈交代？老天爷啊！苗苗奶奶双腿如灌了铅，“扑通”瘫坐在地上。
⑩天色渐晚，还飘起了雪花。
⑪咱这儿就巴掌大的地方，何况还报了警，他们很快就能把苗苗找到的。
⑫邻居们正在不住地安慰着精神几乎失控的苗苗奶奶，一阵急促的铃声骤然响起。
⑬真悬哪！苗苗奶奶哆嗦着手听完电话，扯着电话线瘫倒在地。
⑭邻居们急忙把苗苗奶奶搀起来，问：咋了？到底说啥了？⑮孩子在车站警务室呢！苗苗奶奶带着哭腔说。

When 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 desc ription “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry. In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience. However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn‟t want to hear. After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don‟t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don‟t show my feelings through words.【篇⼆】初中英语阅读理解短⽂ QQ聊天对我们来说并不陌⽣，但是该不该完全相信⽹友呢?我们究竟该以怎样的⼼态对待⽹络呢?让我们来看看本⽂主⼈公与⽹友的奇遇吧!

15道初中语文阅读理解题附答案
15道初中语文阅读理解题附答案1酒事17岁那年,我离开了学校,走上了社会.我父亲是一个古板而严谨的人,他当时是一家报纸的副总编,在人群里总有点面子,特别希望我能去一家好一点的高中重读.我生来就倔,小事还犹豫,大事从来是一去不回头.当时,我外语不好,数学不好,考上大学的希望十分渺茫,所以,我毅然选择离家,到外面的世界去漂泊.我曾在一个建筑工地当力工。
力工的活苦，没技术，让人瞧不起。
不像钢筋工、架子工、木工、电工那么气派，受人尊敬。
力工像杂役，什么地方缺人都得顶上。
心中就苦闷。
苦闷也没有办法，因为，这毕竟上自己的选择。
那年夏天，雨水大，工期被耽误了，大家都很着急。
有一天，我被分到李师傅带的混凝土班，跟着大家打立柱。
一天的任务是11根立柱，打到下午的时候，云彩就来了。
李师傅抬头看看天，凭空叫了一句:“爷儿几个，加把劲，抢雨前干完了，我管酒。
”我知道这个李师傅，他是建筑公司的劳模。
他有一个疯老婆，已经疯了三十几年，但三十几年里，李师傅从来没让她磕着、碰着，从来没让他弄脏了衣服，从来没让他走失过。
谁也不知道他是怎么做到的。
李师傅有一个女儿，刚刚上大学，李师傅的负担不轻，平日里花钱节省人人尽知。
“真管酒,”有人问。
“管～”李师傅平时是一个话语极少的人，他这一喊，有一点一诺千金的意思，身边的人陡然增了一股劲，硬是抢在倾盆大雨下来之前，把立柱打完了。
酒、肉都有价，酒是9毛钱一斤，肉是8毛钱一盘。
六个人，围坐在工棚里，大呼小叫地吃开了。
我不会喝酒，自然往后挪挪身子，我感到有点冷。
这时，一只粗糙的大手扶住了我的后背，并用力地往回拢了拢。
是李师傅。
他把发乌的饭盒递到我眼前，说:“啁一口。
”我摇了摇头。
“啁一口。
”语气是命令似的。
我接过饭盒盖，抿了一口里边的白酒，顿时被呛得咳嗽起来。
李师傅拍了拍我的后背，鼓励说:“再啁一口。
”我抬头看看他，突然在他的目光里发现了一种异样的东西——那是父亲般的慈爱和让人无法抗拒的关怀。
我又喝了一口。

初中语文中考总复习——阅读理解专题训练（含答案解析)296．阅读下面文段，完成小题。
（共9分）最温暖的墙马国福①玲玲是一名中学教师。
她的职业性质决定了她要经常与粉笔打交道。
当粉笔灰尘雪花一样把她的世界装点得银装素裹的同时，也悄然腐蚀着她的手指。
②几年下来，她的右手拇指和食指结了厚厚的一层老茧。
尤其是冬天，天冷的时候，她手上的老茧裂开了口子，一堂课板书下来，疼痛不已。
上课前擦的润肤油，不到几分钟就被粉笔灰吸得一干二净。
为了减轻疼痛，下课后她经常用热水袋捂住冰凉疼痛的手指。
③有一堂课，玲玲需要板书一黑板内容，写到一半的时候，她手上的裂口流出很多血，染红了手中的粉笔。
坐在前排细心的学生发现了老师手上的血。
那点点血迹像梅花一样，竟将白色的粉笔点缀得分外引人注目。
④玲玲拿出纸擦掉手上的血，继续书写。
不专心上课叽叽喳喳说话的学生见状后不再说话。
教室里静极了，只听见粉笔头在黑板上轻轻发出的沙沙声，就像秋天的叶子，一片一片凋落在草地上发出的轻微声音。
⑤第二天上课时，玲玲一走进教室，发现学生们的眼神和往常不一样，有一种期待、一种激动，那种神情意味深长，就像捉迷藏的孩子希望自己的秘密不被人发现一样。
班长喊起立，全班学生向老师问好，他们并没有把目光放在老师身上，眼睛全盯着讲台上的粉笔盒。
这让她感到很蹊跷，莫非今天是什么特殊的日子?当她从粉笔盒里拿出粉笔准备书写时才发现。
那些粉笔整整齐齐全部穿上了外套，一根根粉笔被五颜六色的彩纸裹了起来，像花园里多彩的花枝。
⑥玲玲以为学生们在和她开玩笑，准备撕掉包裹粉笔的彩纸时，学生们异口同声地喊：“老师先不要撕。
请先看看那些字!那纸上面有字。
”⑦玲玲轻轻撕开纸，纸上密密麻麻写着：“老师，天冷了，我们看到你板书时手上流血，就用纸把粉笔包起来。
这样你写字时手就不会疼了!”在那些粉笔中有一支独特的，没有包纸，被一个硬壳的彩色笔筒包着。
玲玲拿起来仔细一看，原来是一个已经用尽，可以随意拧着伸缩的唇膏筒!这是多么诗意美好的创意啊!这些纯真的孩子，把母亲用来化妆的唇膏筒也给拿来了。
初中英语阅读理解10篇（含答案）
When Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502, he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place Costa Rica, which means “rich coast” in Spanish.Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important product in Costa Rica and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries like America and West Germany. Bananas are the country’s second most important export.Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors.Education is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a school and education is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. Boys and girls go to separate (单独的) schools. Classes begin in March and end in November. The other three months of the year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.1. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?A. How Columbus found Costa Rica.B. How Costa Rica got its name.C. What the Costa Ricans wore.D. What language the Costa Ricans spoke.2. The Costa Ricans may NOT paint their houses ______.A. pink and redB. grey and blackC. blue and greenD. yellow and orange3.

This passage is mainly about ______.A. Christopher ColumbusB. Costa RicaC. some products from Costa RicaD. the education of Costa RicaChristian 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. Christian Eijkman went to the island of Java to ______.A. spend his holidayB. find ways to grow better cropsC. do some research about the islandD. help the Javanese with their illness8. Why did Christian Eijkman raise some chickens?A. To eat them.B. To carry out his experiments.C. To give the Javanese a surprise.D. To make money by selling them.9. If a person doesn’t get enough vitamins in his diet, he’d better ______.A. eat more riceB. eat more meatC. eat some chickenD. eat vitamin pills10. We can learn from the passage that ______.A. beri-beri was caused by chickensB. the Javanese didn’t like vitaminsC. 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 disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, 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. Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal 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 days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, 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 expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to 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 put it another way, you are who your friends are.Attitudes are important. Whether they’ positive or negative, they’ rubbing off on you. If you’ around re re re people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame (责怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are you will start to as well. So it’s time to take a look at the people you call “friends”.This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard (标准) for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard.Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you’re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.16. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. A friend in need is a friend indeedB. How to make friendship last for everC. You are who your friends areD. Friends are the most important in one’s success17. The underlined sentence “they’re rubbing off on you” in Paragraph 6 means ______.A. they’ll push you aheadB. they’ll influence youC. they’ll cover your shortcomingsD. they’ll help you achieve your goal18. The musicians’ words at the beginning are written mainly to show ______.A. the musicians’ living conditions are quite poorB. people have poor taste in musicC. people have different attitudes towards the same thingD. young people have greater chances of succeeding19. By taking the exercise mentioned in Paragraph 7, you can ______.A. improve a lot in making more friendsB. come to the right way of making friendsC. develop a better relationship with your friendsD. arrange the time with your friends properly20. The passage is mainly written for ______.A. musiciansB. managersC. negative peopl eD. people wanting to succeedNorm Pethrick, a 36-year-old man in Australia’s northern city Darwin, was praised on Thursday for jumping onto a crocodile’s back to save his wife Wendy at Litchfield National Park, a popular tourist spot southwest of Darwin, a local newspaper reported.Ms Pethrick was standing on a river bank Wednesday afternoon when the saltwater crocodile lunged (扑), locking its jaws on both her legs as it tried to drag her underwater.Norm Pethrick, who with his wife had been collecting water, immediately went to help her. He jumped onto the back, poked (戳) the eyes of the crocodile and finally got his wife free.Ms Pethrick was later taken to Royal Darwin Hospital for a medical treatment. The doctors said she was suffering eight puncture wounds (伤口) in her right leg, a puncture wound in her left leg and a serious cut to one 3 of her fingers.“ This could have been a fatal and tragic situation,” said the general manager of Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH), Dr Len Notaras, according to a local report.He said Ms Pethrick was saved by her husband’s “quick and diligent actions”.Dr Notaras also said she would remain in hospital for three to four days and have an operation to clean the wounds, which are easy to get infected because of bacteria (细菌) on the teeth of the crocodile.21.

It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called “What Color is Your Parachute (降落伞)?” by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (职业) since it was first published in nineteen seventy.Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.26. What is the passage mainly about?A. Finding a job.B. College students’ part-time jobs.C. Craigslist Web site.D.

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 geese — 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.

But what the He boy said surprised Paul greatly.“I wish,” the boy went on，“that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car？”“Oh yes，I'd love that．”After a short ride，boy turned and with his eyes shining，the said，“Paul，would you mind driving in front of my house？”Paul smiled a little．He thought he knew what the boy wanted．He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was 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 Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about.”Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.

(1)For many years scientists have said that the earth is getting warmer. Now they have found something new－hot cities! In the southern US, they have found that cities become very hot in summer. For example, the city of Atlanta in Georgia has rooftop temperatures of up to 50 degrees while it is 27 degrees in the streets! At night, the outsides of the building stay so hot that the heat of the city causes storm over the city.China also has the same kind of problems. Every year more farming land is used for factories or offices. More housing is needed, too. As people become richer, they buy more cars. Now roads are needed and new car parks are built in the city centers. This all makes the city hotter.It is not easy to change the situation. City planners say that we should plant more trees in the middle of cities. Every new street should have trees on both sides, they say. Trees make the temperatures lower, so we should have more trees in our parks and squares. Also we should paint our roofs white. If we do this, they do not become so hot. Every roof in a hot and sunny country should have solar roof panels. The electricity from these can be used to run the air conditioners in the building.People continue to cut down forests around the cities. This makes the problem worse. Cities are growing faster and faster. By the year 2025, 80％of the world’s population will be living in cities. If we go on like this, there will not be enough farmland to feed everyone in the world.1. The best title for the passage is _______.A. The earth is getting warmerB. More land is neededC. Cities are warmer in winterD. Scientists are worried about storms2. What have scientists found?A. Atlanta is the hottest town in the USA.B. Buildings become very hot in the sun.C. It is not as hot on the roof as in the street.D. There are not as many storms as before.3. What can we do to make the cities cooler?A. Make more Parks.B. Use air conditioners more.C. Paint the roofs of all the white buildings.D. Plant more trees.4. What may happen in future?A. Most people will move to the villages.B. People will plant more trees outside the cities.C. We will not have enough food.D. The problem will get better, not worse(2)When might you need to give blood(血) for a personality test? The answer is that you need to do so when you ask for a job.Some people believe that your blood group hides(隐藏) no secrets. It shows the “real you”. And the owners of certain blood groups might be particularly good or bad at certain tasks(任务). This is the very reasons of why you could be asked to offer your blood group before being given a job.The new idea was carried out first in Japan and now it has been brought over to other parts of the world. One important business company in Japan is quite special about this need:“For our office members, we must have 30 percent of group A and 15 percent of AB, 25 percent of O and 30 percent of B”.Do you happen to know your own blood group? It seems that if you belong to blood group O, you can get things done and sell the goods well. Blood group A are the thinkers, while blood groupB are highly creative. And if you have problems, ask the ABs to solve them. So if you visited the Japanese company, you would find the O types out selling goods and A types keeping order in the office.1. According to the passage, __________.A. four types of the blood were discovered by JapanB. people of good blood might do their work very wellC. know your own blood group and you could get a good jobD. more and more countries have accepted the new idea about blood groups2.

This passage is mainly about ___________.A. the origin of blood groupB. the effect of the blood group on personalityC. the secrets of blood groupsD. the new skill of hiring people(3)When you want to call a store o r an office that you don’t call often, you may look the number up in a telephone book. Y ou dial (拨) the number, and then you forget it! Y our short-term (短期) memory last about 30 seconds. However, you don’t need to look in the telephone book for your best friend’s number because you already know it. This information is in your long-term memory. Y our long-term memory has everything that you remember through the years.Why do you forget things sometimes? There are several reasons. An important reason for forgetting something is that you didn’t learn it well in the beginning. For example, you meet some new people, and soon you forget their names. Y ou hear the names but you don’t learn them, so you forget them.Y ou can help yourself remember better. Move information from your short-term memory to your long-term memory. Y ou can do this if you practise the new information for more times.1. Why do you forget the telephone number that you don’t call often?A. Because the telephone number is too long.B.

His mother took him to see the famous showman, P.T. Barnum. Mr. Barnum thought a small person would be the perfect addition to his show. He hired Charles’ parents along with him, and they traveled the world together.He gave the two-foot tall Charles a new name, General Tom Thumb. He taught Tom how to sing, dance, act, and tell jokes. When he felt Tom was ready to perform on stage, he made up ads. To stir up great interest, he said that Tom was eleven years old and had come from England.During the show, Tom fought battles pretendedly with tall people. He also danced upon a wooden plate held by a person who was eight feet tall.Tom’s act was very popular and brought in a lot of money. By the time Tom was an adult, he had grown very rich. He had become a billionaire at the age of twenty-five.Fortunately for Tom, Mr. Barnum added more little people to his show, and Tom became lucky in love as well. One of the little people was Lavinia Warren, a school teacher. Tom was able to win her love, and they married.The ceremony and reception were the talk of the town. They were attended by many rich and famous people and by about two thousand guests. Crowds filled the streets of New Y ork to have a look at their honeymoon, just before the couple would be going to live in Tom’s house in Connecticut.Their wedding, which took place during the Civil War, provided a welcome escape from the sad problems of war.

It looks like a credit card.A few weeks later, the bank posted her a card and a four-number personal identification number (PIN). Her PIN is 1234.As Pat was getting ready for bed one night, she remembered that she had only $2 in her bag. The next day she had to give $10 for a lunch for a co-worker. She didn’t want to get up early to go to the bank. So she had to go to the bank that night. She used her A TM card to take out $50 from her checking account (账户).These are the steps she followed to withdraw (提取) money. First, she put her card in the lower slot (狭孔) on the right side of the machine. She made sure her card was facing the right way. Second, the computer screen said, “Please enter your PIN.” Pat pressed the number 1, 2, 3 and 4. Next, the screen said, “Please select type of transaction (交易) you want by pressing other keys.” Pat pressed the button key for taking out money.Then the screen said, “From which account?” The choices it gave were Checking, Savings, and Money market. Pat pressed the key for Checking. Next, the screen said, “Please select amount (数量) of transaction (办理).” Pat pushed the number 5 and then 0 three times, and the screen read, “50.00.” The screen then read, “Please wait.” In less than a minute, it read, “Please lift the lid and take your money.”Pat lifted the lid marked withdraw (提取). She counted her $50 to make sure the A TM hadn’t made a mistake. Then she waited for her withdrawal slip to come out of the slot at the upper right corner of the machine. Pat checked the slip to make sure it was correct. Then her A TM card was returned through the card slot. She put it in her bag and walked away. If Pat had made a mistake at any point by pressing the wrong button, she could have pressed Cancel (取消, 删去) and started over again.1. What was Pat’s first step?A. Pressing the withdrawal button.B.

Lenin and his wife Krupskaya translated a long English book into Russian. But when they went to England in 1902, English people couldn’t understand a word they said and they couldn’t understand what was said to them. These days more and more foreigner s are coming to China and more Chinese are going out to foreign countries to work or study. So the spoken language is becoming more and more important.Speaking, of course, can’t go without listening. If you want to pronounce a word correctly, first you must hear it correctly. Thy sounds of the Chinese and English languages are not exactly the same. If you don’t listen carefully, you’ll find it difficult or even impossible to understand the native speakers.Well, what about writing? Like speaking, it’s to exchange ideas. People generally use shorter words and shorter sentences in their writing. The important thing is to make your idea clear in your head and then to write it in clear lively language.Chinese students read far too slowly. If you read fast, you understand better. If you read too slowly, by the time you have reached the end of a page you have forgotten what the beginning is about. When you meet with new words, don’t look them up in the dictionary. Guess the meaning from the context. Y ou may not guess quite correctly the first time, but as new words come up again and again in different contexts, their meaning will become clearer and clearer. If you look up every word, you’ll never finish a book.Students of a foreign language need a particular knowledge, the knowledge of the life, history and geography of the people whose language they are studying. They should study these subjects in the foreign language, not only in translation. In this way one can kill two birds with one stone: learn a foreign language and get some knowledge of the foreign country at the same time.1. How many points are there in the passage?A. TwoB. ThreeC. FourD. Five2. In his first point the writer told us ____________.A. how to speak EnglishB. how to read and writeC. why spoken English is importantD. why English people couldn’t understand Lenin3. In his last point the writer advised us ____________.A. to kill two birds with one stoneB. to learn two languages at a timeC. to study all the subjects in a foreign languageD. to get some knowledge of the foreign country whose language you are studying4. In the fourth paragraph the writer gave some advice on ___________.A. how to read fasterB. how to guess the meaning from the contextC. how to look up new words in the dictionaryD. how to grasp the general meaning of a passage5. “To kill two birds with one stone” means ___________.A. to get some particular knowledgeB. to get more than what one paysC. the stone is too bigD. the birds are blind enough(7)February 14th, V alentine’s Day, is a complicated but interesting occasion. First of all, V alentine’s Day is not a holiday from work. No one gets a day off. In many countries it is observed by sending cards to your friends and candy or flowers to your husband or wife if you’re married, or to your boy friend or girl friend if you’re not married. In Japan, some girls even give their fathers chocolates.Why is this holiday for people in love called V alentine’s Day?One explanation comes from a Christian man whose name was something like“V alentine”. He lived at a time when the Roman Emperor refused to allow any Roman soldiers to get married for any reason. Many couples came to V alentine to be married. So he would secretly marry them in a Christian ceremony. He was discovered and put in prison by the Emperor. One tradition says that he wrote notes to his friends by marking on leaves and then throwing them out of the window of his prison. The leaves were shaped like a heart. V alentine was killed on February 14th and V alentine’s Day recalls his tragic death.On V alentine’s Day, American elementary school children make or buy V alentine cards, write the name of a classmate on them, and take them to school and put them in a special V alentine’s Day box. And then on that day the box is opened, the cards are taken out and given out.1. Which of the following is true about V alentine’s Day?A. It is observed by sending flowers to one’s husband or wife.B. Children in Japan give their fathers chocolates.C. It is a legal holiday in many countries.D. People send candy to each other.2. The man called V alentine was put in prison because ________.A. He secretly got married in a Christian ceremonyB. He helped people get married when love was not allowedC. He helped Roman soldiers get marriedD. He wanted to kill the Roman Emperor3. So he would secretly marry them in a Christian ceremony. “marry” is closest in meaning to ________.A. Which priest is going to marry them?B. She has married off all her daughters.C. I’m gl ad Hubert married a girl of spirit.D. At present she doesn’t intend to marry at all.4. People celebrate V alentine’s Day _________.A. to take a day offB. in memory of V alentineC. C. to show their loveD. both B and C5. American school children don’t _______ on V alentine’s Day.A. buy V alentine cardsB. make cards for their teachersC. give each other V alentine cardsD. put their cards in a V alentine’s Day box(8)Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, politics, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Y et, no one can learn everything from school.A teacher, no matter how much he knows, can not teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula. It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem. Great scientists befor e us didn’t get everything from school. Their teachers only showed them the way. Edison didn’t even finish primary school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They would ask many questions as they read. They did thousands of experiments. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. Above all, they knew how to use their brain.1. People go to school to _________.A. learn several subjectsB. make a livingC. get an educationD. learn from teachers2. According to the passage, the most important thing a teacher should do is _________.A. to teacher his students everything he knowsB. to know everythingC. to teach the students how to thinkD. to teach the students how to study by themselves3. To work out a math problem, you need to know _________.A. only a certain formulaB. more than one formulaC. some factsD. the method to solve it4. Why were many scientists so successful?A. They received good education.B. They were very clever.C. They knew how to learn.D. They learned lots of facts and formulas.5. How did great scientists study?A. They read a lot of books and asked many questions while reading.B. They did thousands of experiments.C. They always worked hard and never wasted time.D. All of the above.(9)The customs in different countries are rather different. If I have dinner with a Chinese host, he always puts more food onto my plates as soon as I have emptied them. It often discomforts me greatly. I have to eat the food even if I don’t want to, because it is considered bad manners in the West to leave one’s food on the plate. I have already noticed that when a Chinese sits at a n American’s dinner party, he very often refuses the offer of food or drink though he is in fact still hungry or thirsty. This might be good manners in china, but it is not in the West at all. In the US it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again or insist on him accepting something. Americans have a direct way of speaking. If they want something, they will ask for it. If not, they will say “No, thanks”. When an American is fed with beer by the host, for example, he might say, “No, thanks, I’ll ta ke some Diet. Pepsy–cola if you have it.” That is what an American will do. So when you go to the US, you had better remember the famous saying, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”.1. From the passage, we know that the Chinese are usually _______ to the guests.A. eager to give all they haveB. politeC. impoliteD. cold2. When a foreigner has dinner with a Chinese host, he often feels _________.A. pleasantB. uncomfortableC. satisfiedD. happy3. Why does a Chinese often refuse the offer of food or drink at a dinner party? Because _______.A. he has had enoughB. he is shyC. he is afraid that others will laugh at himD. he thinks it’s polite to do that4. When an American wants something to eat or drink at dinner, he will _________.A. go and take it himselfB. refuse the hosts offerC. ask for it directlyD. ask another to fetch it for him5. “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” Means ________.A. when you get to Rome, you should act as the Romans doB. when you stay in Rome, you should do as the Romans doC. when you are in a new country, you should do as the natives doD. Romans can be example for you(10)When we can see well, we don’t think about our eyes very often. It is only when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing, reading and sewing, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.People who are farsighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts（白内障）. Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.When night falls, colours become fainter to the eyes and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the sides of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you can see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they can’t see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.1. We don’t know that our eyes are of great importance until ___.A. we think about our eyesB. we cannot see clearlyC. we wear glassesD. we have to do much reading2. According to the passage, a _________ is more likely to be nearsighted than the average person.A. tailorB. doctorC. guardD. driver3.

奔
长江的浩荡波流，回旋着，翻卷着，仿佛在挣脱着什么，响出轰隆隆巨声。
浪涛和浪涛彼此呼唤着，滚滚东奔，追赶那一轮红日。
从最遥远的迷漫着雾气的天际，也能看见它闪亮的水面。
而两岸的岩绝壁，把峻峭的山峰，高高地耸在它们头上那一片荒凉的蓝空中，俯视着澎湃的急流。
只有它们知道长江已经走过和将要走过的迢遥途程的时间，是多么悠久。
我站在飞驰于长江的轮船甲板上，风吹着头发，衣襟向天空飘起。
我手扶横栏，凝望着从荒古以来就以自己征服一切的雄浑大气，凌驾着风暴，岁月的重轭所不能制服的生命急流，在无尽的追求中，宽阔的胸膛，倾吐出深沉洪亮的声音，好像在告诉人们一种重要的事情。
而它所追赶的太阳，正在朝它背后的西方沉落。
那鲜红艳丽给大地倾注了青春和轰响的生命的火球，使冻结的江河，在山野丛林的摇篮中醒来，使寒冬岁月里深藏在地下的种子，诞生出嫩绿的禾苗，给草原洒满鲜花，让鱼群在温暖的水波里自由浮沉。
万物都受到太阳的抚爱。
它现在却不可抗拒地，必然地向着西方沉落，最后燃烧的烈焰飞奔，浓烟缭绕，天空笼罩着一片无涯无际黑沉沉着火的乌云。
映着豪光的长江，依然滚滚东流，从不折回，它没有追赶那追赶不到的，却追赶着黑暗。
它背后的太阳，越过狭谷，落进那被它的光辉渲染成绚烂色彩的烟云里去了。
江上升起茫茫淡墨色的雾。
两岸间或闪现的灯火，在水天辉映的波影里，如梦如幻的抖颤。
从荒
凉绝壁降下来的淡紫色的黄昏和白浪滔滔的长江，进入比梦中甜蜜的想像更为神奇的黑暗里。
白昼是壮丽的，但是黑暗比白昼更壮丽。
深沉的宁静中，充满了幻想，充满了希望。
什么都没有，却包含着所有的一切，也包含着对它的惧怕和嘲笑。
我注视着近处被轮船探路灯光照出的波浪，不断地互相撞碎，似乎是唯有碎裂才充满生命，才能奔腾，才能掀起冲天巨浪。
而那从不碎裂的在幽暗星光下巨大而模糊的山岭，只能万古不变地伫立着。
它们感到黑暗是如此的冰冷、沉重、浓厚，像巢居着鬼魅的莽石洞穴阴森可怕。
而长江却是明一切地、勇敢地向黑暗奔流。
前面波浪的空缺，立即被后面的填补。
因风的袭击而高高地扬起头来吼叫，不顾一切地向着漩涡扑去；因狭谷险峰的阻隔更加奔猛。
我倾听着黑暗里波涛的轰响，感到它的孤独和悲壮。
同时向我展示了一个永恒的伟大思想：
给万物以生命的光明是灿烂的。
而黑暗是孕育着那无比硕大太阳的母腹。
