阅读理解1Mr. Lee was in bed and was trying to go to sleep when he heard the bell ring. He turned on the light and looked at his clock. It was twelve o'clock. "Who can it be at this time of night?" He thought. He decided to go and find out. So he got of bed, put on his dressing gown (浴袍) and went to the door. When he opened the door, there was nobody there. "That is very strange." Then he went back to his bedroom, took off his dressing gown, got back into bed ,turned off the light and tried to go to sleep.A few minutes later he heard the bell again. Mr. Lee jumped out of bed very quickly and rushed to the door. He opened it, but again he found no one there. He closed the door and tried not to feel angry. Then he saw a piece of paper on the floor. He picked it up. There were some words on it : "It is now after midnight(午夜), so it is April Fool's Day (禺人节) . April fool to you!""Oh , it was the English boy next door!" Mr. Lee exclaimed (惊叫) and almost smiled. He went back to bed and feel asleep at once. The bell did not ring again.1. When did Mr. Lee go to bed?He went to bed _______.A. before twelve o'clockB. after twelve o'clockC. when the bell rangD. when he saw the boy2.

What did Mr. Lee think about the English boy?He thought he _________.A. was a good boyB. was friendly with himC. shouldn't ring the bell at midnightD. did a dangerous thing just now阅读理解2Babies love chocolate and sometimes they also eat the paper around it. My cat enjoys a meal of good, thick paper, old letters, for example. She does not like newspapers very muchOf course, the best paper comes from wood. Wood comes from trees, and trees are plants. Vegetables and fruit are plants, too, and we eat a lot of them. So can we also eat wood and paper?Scientists say, "All food comes in some way from plants." Well, is that true? Animals eat grass and grow fat. Then we eat their meat. Little fish eat little sea-plants, then bigger fish swim along and eat the ……Chickens eat bits of grass and give us…… Think for a minute. What food does not come from plants in some way?Scientists can do wonderful things with plants. They can make food just like meat and cheese. And they can make it without the help of animals. It is very good food, too. Now they have begun to say, "We make our paper from wood. We can also make food from wood. The next thing is not very difficult." What is the next thing? Perhaps it is—food from paper. Scientists say, "We can turn paper into food. It will be good, cheap food, too, cheaper than meat or fish or eggs."So please keep your old books and letters. (Don't feed [喂] your cat.) One day, they will be on your plate, if what scientists say may come true.1. The writer asks us to keep our old books and letters because _______.A. they are useful for readingB. They may be used to feed catsC. We can make food from them soonD. we can read them at breakfast2.

About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way . Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked embarrassed (窘迫的. No one had told them about the British custom (习惯)of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus .Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably besurprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding (点头) your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty .In that country, you shake your head to mean 'yes'— a nod means 'no' . At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up . If you think that you have had enough , you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.In Europe it quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble . Also, you should try to avoid (避免)touching the head of an adult (成人) ——it's just not done in Thailand .1. The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way, because the gentlemen _________ .A. were foreignersB. didn't have ticketsC. made a loud noiseD. didn't line up for the bus2. According to the article, if you want to have a pleasant journey in a foreign country, you should _________.A. learn the language of the countryB. understand the manners and customs of the countryC. have enough time and moneyD. make friends with the people there3. In India it is considered impolite ___________.A. to use the right hand for passing food at table.B. to pass food with the left hand.C. to eat food with your hands.D. to help yourself at table.4. To cross one's legs at an important meeting in Europe is _______.A. a common (平常的) habitB. an important mannerC. a serious (严重的) troubleD. a bad manner5. The best title (题目) for this article is ________.A. People's Everyday LifeB. Mind Your MannersC. Shaking and Nodding HeadD. Taking a Bus in England阅读理解4Tom walked into a shop . It bad a sign outside : "Second-hand (旧的) clothes bought and sold . "He was carrying an old pair of trousers and asked the owner of the shop, "How much will you give me for these?" The man looked at them and then said: "Two dollars.""What !" said Tom. "I had guessed they were worth at least five dollars.""No," said the man, "they aren't worth a cent more than two dollars.""Well," said Tom, taking two dollars out of his pocket. "Here's your money. These trousers were hanging outside your shop. The list price (标价)of them was six dollars and a half. But I thought that was too much money, so I wanted to find out how much they were really worth."Then he walked out of the shop with the pair of trousers and disappeared before the shop owner could think of anything to say .1.

From the story we know that _________ cheaper than the list price.A. the owner sold the trousers two dollarsB. Tom sold the trousers one dollar and a halfC. the owner bought the trousers three dollarsD. Tom bought the trousers four dollars and a half阅读理解5Big BenBig Ben is not the name of a man. It is the name of a huge（庞大的）clock in London. London is the capital of England. This clock has four faces. So，no matter where you stand，you can read the time on the face of Big Ben. Each face is the size of a double decker（层）bus. The hands are about four metres long. It is about the size of two people standing on top of each other. If you go to London，you may want to visit the Houses of Parliament（国会大厦）. There you will find Big Ben sits at the top of the clock tower（塔）in the Houses of Parliament. Maybe you will hear it as well as see it. The huge clock makes such a loud noise. “Ding dong，ding dong，”it goes every quarter of an hour.The clock was named after a big man. He was Sir Benjamin Hall.

They help keep our things and us safe. They help keep cars moving safely. They take care of people who are hurt. Then they see these people get to a doctor. The police go around town to see that everything is all right. They get around town in many ways. Some of them walk or go by car. In some big cities ，some of the police ride on horses. It is strange to see these animals in the street.As they go around town ，the police help people. Sometimes they find lost children. They take the children home. If the police see a fight ，they put an end to it right away. Sometimes people will ask the police how to get to a place in town. The police can always tell the people which way to go. They know all the streets and roads well.Some police stand at crossings. They tell the cars when to go and when to stop. They make sure that the cars do not go too fast. They help children cross the street. They also help people who can't walk too well.Without the police ，our streets would not be safe. Cars might go too fast and hurt people. Lost people might never be found. The police do a good job. We need them. And we should thank them for a job well done.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

初三英语能力大赛一：选择型阅读：（共30个小题，每小题3分，计90分）A篇A group of 68 Australian tourists are staying at a hotel in Singapore. Today is Thursday. Their leader put up this1. Mrs. Johnson wants to go to the National Museum. Then we know that she will Not visit________.A. Mount FaberB. the aquariumC. Crocodile FarmD. Jurong Bird Park2. On 21 July, the tourists will leave the hotel rooms at about_________.A. 8:20a.m.B. 8:30a.m.C. 9:00a.m.D. 9:10a.m.3. The last day for signing that a tourist wants to go on the tour is _________.A.

In note (b), “punctual” means____________.A. happyB. very earlyC. on timeD. awakeB篇Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have found out that stress (紧张、压力) helps to bring it on. It is worth considering. What are the causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do anything about them? Are we out of work, or have too many responsibilities (责任)? Do we have a right balance of work and leisure (闲暇) in our lives? Are our relationships with family, fiends or fellow workers all they should be? All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face them honestly, and to bring out frustrations (失意，失败) into the open. People who have a good row and then forget it are doing their health better than those who bottle up(抑制) their feelings. If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more leisure and fill it more happily, if we will accept a different living standard (标准). We can improve our personal relationships by a different attitude (态度). It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour's anger. The teaching in the Bible(圣经) "Don't let the sun go down upon your wrath(愤怒)" is good advice from the health point of view.6. According to the text, which of the following sentences is the best statement?A. Freedom from responsibilities helps reduce(减少) stress.B. Stress is the direct cause of cancer.C. The causes of stress are worth studying seriously.D. Cancer is the number one killer in our society today. 7. According to the text, which of the following kinds of people are more likely to suffer from stress?A. People who have cancer.B. People who like to quarrel with others.C. People whose living standard is low.D. People who have more responsibilities than they can handle(应付).8. The word "row" in the third paragraph means________.A. a noisy quarrelB. a very loud noiseC.a line of things side by sideD. a trip in a boat9. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to reduce our stress?A. Changing our jobs.B.Changing our attitude about little things that make us unhappy.C. Speaking out about our frustration.D. Reading the Bible.10. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. We should read Bible every day.B. We should have good relationships with our family members.C. We should do something to reduce the stress that helps to bring cancer on.D. Sometimes we can quarrel with others.C篇Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. 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 (消除代沟). 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 id eas 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 a t 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!11. The passage tells us ___have a communication problem.A. parents and other peopleB. school kids and their parentsC. teachers and their studentsD. parents and children of all ages12. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you ___.A. don’t get to them oftenB. write a letter to themC. don’t speak to them politel yD. express yourself well13. The underline d phrase “cool off” in the passage means “___”.A. to make yourself happyB. to get you quiet and relaxedC. to have a good restD. to hide yourself quickly14. If there’s really a generation gap between you and your parents, you’d bett er _______.A. have a talk with them oftenB. keep away from themC. agree with them all the timeD. know about their values15. From the passage we learn ___.A. parents and children should not have a generation gapB. parents should show love and respect to their childrenC. there are some good ways to bridge the generation gapD. there are so many serious problems in families todayD篇My mum says my head is too expensive, because all my operations have cost millions of dollars. I am sick with hydrocephalus. That means “water in the head." Water runs through the body like a river, but sometimes it won’t leave my head. That water gives me bad headaches and lots of other problems. so doctors put a small tube(管子)in me to take away that water from my head. I stay in the hospital most of the time . Sometimes the doctors let me go out to play. But sometimes, if I play too much , my tube has problems. I have to go back to the hospital. My doctor, Dr. Beck , is the greatest. He takes good care of me, and he’s a lot of fun, too. My illness is hard to understand, but Dr. Beck always takes time to teach me about it by drawing pictures or telling stories. I draw cartoons for him, too, to make him laugh when he gets tired. When I grow up, I dream of becoming a doctor so that I can take care of kids like me. I have been in the hospital a lot, and my mum is a nurse, so I have learned a lot by watching and asking questions.

No one can live a completely isolated life. Without other people, life became empty and sad. We all need to have friends. For some of us, though making friends is not difficult, feeling sheepish, we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we al-ready have.There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegie\'s How to Win Friends and Influence People, written in 1936, is the most famous. This "how to" book about getting along with other people became a best seller. It was later put into 28 languages.Dale Carnegie\'s advice seems to be simple, but can his advice help you? Do you need to change the way you act? Here is the list of advice from his book:l. Be friendly and polite. Always greet with a smile. Begin with "excuse me" or "would you please" when you want to ask somebody. Remember to say "thank you" and try to be as helpful as you can.2. Go out of your way to be nice. Find some time to do special things for other people. Making some soup fora sick neighbor may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbor feel a lot better. 3. Remember names. They say that the sweetest music to a person \'s ears is the sound of his or her own name.4.Be open-minded. Try to understand other people’s ways and ideas and learn something from them.5. Listen patiently. When someone is talking to you, look at him or her, listen carefully and say something when necessary. 21.

He inherited(继承) a million dollars when he was 23, but he wasn’t happy at all. When his college friends were looking for their jobs, he didn’t have to. He gave $10,000 of his money to charity to help poor children live a better life. Today he is 36. He still wears cheap shoes and clothes and drives a small car only, but he is very happy.Up to now Jack has helped some children from poor countries all over the world, by sending them each $200 a month. The money was used for the children’s study, food, medicine and clothing. Jack receives a report each year on the children’s progress. They can write to each other, but usually the children do not speak English. When Jack first heard about these children, he wanted to help them. “It was nothing special.” He said, “Until I went to these countries and met the children I was helping, I didn’t know anything about their life.” Once Jack went to meet a little girl in Africa.

For hundreds of year, men have wanted to travel to the moon. When they looked at the moon, they asked many questions. Was the moon hot or cold? Were there any plants or other living things there? They asked many, many other questions. Some people said there were living plants on the moon. Others said nothing could live there because there was no air or water on the moon.We know much about the moon now. Scientists have studied the moon for many years and have found out many facts. Not long ago spaceships with men in them flew to the moon. What do we know about the moon? We find that the moon is much smaller than the earth. It is about one quarter size of the earth. It is traveling round the earth all the time. Days and nights on the moon are very long. One day on the moon is as long as two weeks on the earth. One night is also as long as two weeks on the earth. In the day the moon is very hot. At night it is very cold. The moon is muchhotter and much colder than the earth.There is another surprising thing.

初三英语竞赛阅读初三英语能力大赛一：选择型阅读：（共30个小题，每小题3分，计90分）A篇A group of 68 Australian tourists are staying at a hotel in Singapore. Today is Thursday. Their1. Mrs. Johnson wants to go to the National Museum.

In note (b), “punctual” means____________.A. happyB. very earlyC. on timeD. awakeB篇Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have found out that stress (紧张、压力) helps to bring it on. It is worth considering. What are the causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do anything about them? Are we out of work, or have too many responsibilities (责任)? Do we have a right balance of work and leisure (闲暇) in our lives? Are our relationships with family, fiends or fellow workers all they should be? All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face them honestly, and to bring out frustrations (失意，失败) into the open. People who have a good row and then forget it are doing their health better than those who bottle up(抑制) their feelings. If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more leisure and fill it more happily, if we will accept a different living standard (标准). We can improve our personal relationships by a different attitude (态度). It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour's anger. The teaching in the Bible(圣经) "Don't let the sun go down upon your wrath(愤怒)" is good advice from the health point of view.6. According to the text, which of the following sentences is the best statement?A. Freedom from responsibilities helps reduce(减少) stress.B. Stress is the direct cause of cancer.C. The causes of stress are worth studying seriously.D. Cancer is the number one killer in our society today.7. According to the text, which of the following kinds of people are more likely to suffer from stress?A. People who have cancer.B. People who like to quarrel with others.C. People whose living standard is low.D. People who have more responsibilities than they can handle(应付).8. The word "row" in the third paragraph means________.A. a noisy quarrelB. a very loud noiseC.a line of things side by sideD. a trip in a boat9. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to reduce our stress?A. Changing our jobs.B.Changing our attitude about little things that make us unhappy.C. Speaking out about our frustration.D. Reading the Bible.10. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. We should read Bible every day.B. We should have good relationships with our family members.C. We should do something to reduce the stress that helps to bring cancer on.D. Sometimes we can quarrel with others.C篇Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. 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 (消除代沟). 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 c an’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收集于网络，如有侵权请联系管理员删除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.

No one can live a completely isolated life. Without other people, life became empty and sad. We all need to have friends. For some of us, though making friends is not difficult, feeling sheepish, we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegie\'s How to Win Friends and Influence People, written in 1936, is the most famous. This "how to" book about getting along with other people became a best seller. It was later put into 28 languages.Dale Carnegie\'s advice seems to be simple, but can his advice help you? Do you need to change the way you act? Here is the list of advice from his book:l. Be friendly and polite. Always greet with a smile. Begin with "excuse me" or "would you please" when you want to ask somebody. Remember to say "thank you" and try to be as helpful as you can.2. Go out of your way to be nice. Find some time to do special things for other people. Making some soup fora sick neighbor may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbor feel a lot better.3. Remember names. They say that the sweetest music to a person \'s ears is the sound of his or her own name.4.Be open-minded. Try to understand other people’s ways and ideas and learn something from them.5. Listen patiently. When someone is talking to you, look at him or her, listen carefully and say something when necessary.21.
