In England recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited . 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 seewhat 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 be surprised 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 journeyin 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.

初三九年级英语(完整版)初中英语阅读理解阅读练习题含解析一、英语阅读理解阅读1．阅读理解For most people in the West, Valentine's Day（情人节）ends on February 15, but here in Japan it's not quite over until March 15. March 14-exactly one month after Valentine's Day--is White Day in Japan.To really understand what White Day is all about, you have to understand what Valentine's Day in Japan is like. Japanese Valentine's Day is all about men getting presents. Japanese women are usually too shy to show their love, though it might not be true today. Valentine's Day is a great chance to let women show their feelings. Men should return gifts to women on White Day.On both days, chocolate is the gift of choice. More often, the colour of the chocolate is white because of the name of the day. You can also buy flowers, candy or cookies.Does it sound good to you? Don't get too excited when you get chocolate from Japanese girls! They give chocolate not only to their loved ones, but also to men such as bosses（老板） and male（男性的） friends.The Japanese first celebrated White Day in 1978. Now it is also celebrated in South Korea and Taiwan, China.（1）In Japan, Valentine's Day ends on ________________.A. February 14B. February 15C. March 14D.

Would you like to know more about how the weather can affect how you feel?According to a recent study, there is a connection between weather and moods. Going to a warm place in the middle of winter can make our moods better. Pleasant weather has been proved to improve moods and memory. However, extremely hot weather can actually make us feel more tired and bored, spoiling our moods.In the study, people who spent time outdoors in warm weather were happier than those whospent all day inside.The best temperature for humans is about 22.2℃. That explains why people in southern California are happy all the time. To improve his or her moods, a person must spend at least 30 minutes outside in warm, sunny weather. Spending time indoors when the weather outside is so nice tends to lower moods.Maybe just the activities connected with being outside affect our moods. Warm weather is connected with the beach, fun outdoor sports and so on. It brings back childhood memories of playing outside all day. Who doesn't love that?Of course, we can wake up every day and decide how we will feel that day. If it's rainy, that won't necessarily make us unhappy. We'll just have to bring our umbrellas out and cheer up those who are feeling sad!（1）According to the study, we may feel on extremely hot days.A. happierB. more boredC. more excitedD. more pleased （2）Warm weather can help improve our moods and according to the passage.A. sightB. memoryC. heightD. hearing（3）Why are people in southern California happy all the time?A.

Because the weather there is extremely hot all the year round.（4）What is the best title for the passage?A. Rainy Days Make Us SadB. The Best Temperature for HumansC. Go Outside on Sunny DaysD. How the Weather Affects Our Moods3．阅读理解Technology is everywhere. We see it any place we go and, in fact, almost all of us carry some piece of technology with us every time we leave the house. What I always forget, though, is just how useful and powerful technology can be when we want to help others.There is not a single room in my house that does not have some electronic devices （设备）lying around in it. Whenever I am at home, I am almost always using at least one electronic device. If you walked into my living room on any given day, you would find that, first, I have the television on. At the same time, I usually have my laptop resting on my knee, or I will be using my mobile phone. Even when I'm not at home I am always using my phone, and at work or in cafés, I sit down and connect to the local wireless network on my laptop.I must say that I waste a lot of time on the computer and the time I spend on it could be much better spent if I were to take up a little online volunteering.The technology we carry about everywhere can have a great power to do good for the world and to help others and recently I discovered just how much online volunteering there is to do in the world. From using your language skills to do translations, to developing and managing projects and helping with IT work, there is so much that so many people can do to help people in their own countries and across the world. The United Nations, in fact, has a huge page with "Volunteers Recruited" on its website.This work can support the poor and help charities who cannot pay for staff members. Many organizations only require you to work an hour a week﹣some even less. And the support provided by online volunteers can really help make a difference to those in need.（1）From Paragraph 2, we can know that the writer .A. is a computer engineerB. works in a caféC. uses technology a lotD. likes modern music（2）The underlined word" Recruited" in Paragraph 4 means" ".A. OrderedB. VisitedC. WantedD. Warned（3）In the writer's opinion, people should spend more time with technology.A. working on computer programsB. keeping the Internet safeC. inventing electronic productsD. helping people in need（4）What can be the best title for the passage？A. Online VolunteeringB. Internet OrganizationsC. Website DesignD. Online Translation4．阅读理解We often hear stories of animals rescuing people. But now someone has managed to return the favor.The event took place on a snowy January morning. Thomas Smith was walking his dog, Jack, in the park. "As I was walking, I just saw Jack running into the ice towards the ducks in the middle, and then he fell into the water and couldn't climb out," said Smith. He realized he had no choice but to try and save his dog. "Someone else told me the lake was only one meter deep, but it was at least twice that. I had to break my way through the 6-cm ice. Finally, I got Jack by the neck and pulled him out. I didn't think I had ever felt so cold by the time we got back to dry land. And when we got there, everyone was asking if Jack was okay—no one was particularly worried about me!"A neighbor, Julie Brown, saw it all happen. "The dog went onto an icy lake. All of a sudden, it started to go under. There were crowds of people around, and they were all shouting and screaming. Before I knew it, the owner （Smith） was in the water forcing his way through the ice, I couldn't imagine how cold it was. Everyone was very nervous, but he was as cool as a cucumber-he just crawled back out, put the dog on its lead, and went home.Many regard him as a hero, but Mr. Smith is quite laid—back about it, "Most dog owners are the same as me. They would do what I did without a second thought. But in the future, I'm going to make sure he's on a lead near any icy pond.Pets are members of our family. Would you do the same for them?（1）What happened on a cold January morning?A. Mr. Smith met Jack in the park.B. Mr. Smith ran after Jack on the ice,C. Jack fell from the ice into the water.D.

A man's pet dogB. A dog's best friendC. The danger on the icy lakeD. Suggestions for pets' owners5．阅读理解My 14-year-old son, John, and I saw the coat at the same time in a second-hand clothing store. It stood out among big and old coats. It was so beautiful and had an unbelievable price, $ 28. I looked at my son and we both said nothing, but John's eyes shone. Dark, woolen coats were popular with teenage boys, but new ones could cost several hundred dollars. This coat was even better. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror. It fit him so well. John wore the coal to school the next clay. After he came home, I asked. "Did the kids like your coat?""They loved it," he said with a big grin.Over the next few weeks, John changed. He was polite, less argumentative, more thoughtful, and much happier. "Good dinner, Mom," he would say every evening. Without a word of complaining, he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said, "You're right. I guess I will." When I mentioned this change to one of his teachers, she joked that the coat must have changed him.John and I both know we should never judge a person by his clothes. But it is true that when wearing beautiful and suitable clothes, we may try to be better in thought, speech and behavior to match what is on the inside to what is on the outside.（1）What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. The price of the coat was too high.B. John liked the coat very much.C. They often went shopping together.D.

He always worried about his study.D. He said sweet words to make his mother happy.（4）What does the writer want to say through this passage?A. What we wear could help shape who we are inside.B. Life is full of possibilities when we are young.C. We should not judge people by their appearance.D. It's a good choice to try different things in our lives.6．阅读理解If you cannot travel around the world, why not travel on the Internet? GeoGuessr is a new online travel game.

It is one of the smallest countries in the world. But for those who are interested in adventure and sports, there is a lot to do. Vanuatu's islands offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world: volcano（火山） surfing and land diving.Volcano Surfing On Tanna Island, Mount Yasur rises 361 metres into the sky. Yasur is an active volcano, and it erupts（爆发） almost every day, sometimes several times a day. For centuries, people have climbed this mountain to visit the top. Recently, people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano. In some ways, volcano surfing is like surfing in the sea, but in other ways it's very different. Volcano surfers try to escape the erupting volcano-- without getting hit by flying rocks! It's fast, fun and dangerous- the perfect extreme sport（极限运动）.Land Diving Most people are familiar with bungee jumping, but do you know bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu and is almost fifteen centuries old? The activity, first called land diving, is part of a religious ceremony（宗教仪式）. A man ties tree vines（树藤） to his legs. He then jumps head- first from a high tower to touch the earth with the top of his head- without breaking the vine. Every spring, island natives （men only）still take part in this amazing activity.（1）In the first paragraph, what does the underlined word refer to?A. People.B. Animals.C. Activities.D. Islands.（2）According to the passage, Mount Yasur?A. is no longer activeB. is on Pentecost IslandC. erupts almost every dayD. rises 800 metres into the sky（3）Why have people recently started climbing Mount Yasur?A.

It is a traditional activity in Vanuatu.D. It came to Vanuatu from another country.（5）What is the purpose of the passage?A. To tell people not to do dangerous sports.B.

【英语】中考英语阅读理解练习题经典1一、初三英语阅读理解（含答案详细解析）1．阅读理解It's hard to turn down a tasty banana. They taste good and you don't have to wash them before eating them. However, British scientists say that the fruit may disappear by 2050.One reason for this is climate（气候） change. Scientists at the University of Exeter collected data（数据）from 27 countries and regions that produce 86 percent of the world's bananas. They found that climate change has improved growing conditions in 21 of these countries. In the past 60 years, the average yield（平均产量） has reached 1.37 tons of bananas per hectare（公顷）.However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage will disappear. Ten of the countries, including India, the world's biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may die out.Shouldn't bananas grow more easily if it's hotter outside? In fact, the perfect temperature range for growing bananas is between 24 and 32 C. If temperatures get too high, they will stop growing.Diseases are another danger to bananas. Unlike other crops, the bananas we grow come from shoot cuttings（茎段）rather than seeds. This means that all banana plants have the same genotype（基因型）. In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all.One serious disease is called Panama. Caused by fungus（真菌） in the soil, it spreads easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation（种植园）suffers from the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again. Scientists have yet to find a cure for this disease.（1）What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. People's love for bananas.B. The taste of bananas.C. The convenience of eating bananas.D. The future disappearance of bananas.（2）What might happen if temperatures keep going higher?A. More countries will start to grow bananas.B. Bananas will grow better in most countries.C. Bananas will not be able to grow any more.D. Bananas won't be as tasty as before.（3）What does Paragraph 5 tell us?A. What diseases bananas may suffer from.B. How bananas are grown.C. How diseases can easily kill bananas.D. Which diseases can kill bananas.（4）The passage is written to ________.A. offer tips for growing bananasB. explain why bananas may die outC. show the difficulties of growing bananasD. describe bananas' growing conditions【答案】（1）D（2）C（3）C（4）B【解析】【分析】主要讲了香蕉可能消失的原因。

Buy it on the Internet! Need it now? Why wait? Ask to receive it the next day! Each day, more and more people try on-line shopping. In fact, online sales have doubled in the last ten years. But not everyone is excited. Some scientists now say that online shopping is bad for the environment.People are surprised to hear this." They think, I don't need to drive, and the business doesn't need to build a store, so there will be less pollution," says Nuria Prost, an environmental scientist. "But it is not so simple. In fact, online shopping is wasteful. It also adds to air pollution."In truth, the Internet is not always as good a friend to the environment as it seems. For example, most people thought that the Internet would help offices use less paper and other materials. But paper use increased by33percent between 1986 and 1997."Online shopping could have similarly harmful results," says Nevil Cohen, a researcher of environmental science. Part of the problem is what people are buying these days. In the past, people bought things on the Internet that did not require much packing material, such as books and clothing. But now people also shop online for large, heavy pro ducts such as televisions, computers, chairs and tables. These products need to be packed in lots of plastic and paper. This creates a lot of waste.Another problem caused by online shopping is air pollution. When customers buy products and ask to receive them the next day, online businesses often have to send them by air. Airplanes use much more oil than cars and produce more carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）. When people buy a lot of different things from different online businesses, this creates even more travel by airplane.Online product returns are also a problem. For example, an online shoe store may allow customers to return shoes for free if they are wrong size. This doubles the packing materials and number of airline trips required to sell one pair of shoes."If people want to protect the environment, they need to think before they shop," says Prost. "People need to ask themselves: Is this exactly what I want? Do I really need it tomorrow, or can I wait?" Online stores can also ask customers to pay money for returns. This may make people shop more carefully." Online shopping is fast and easy, "says Prost," but we can't forget the harmful result it has caused to the environment."（1）The passage begins with several questions to .A. introduce the main topicB. describe online shoppingC. show the writer's opinionD. list advantages of shopping（2）What is the passage mainly about?A. The Internet is not good to the environment.B. Online shopping causes more air pollution.C. Online shopping is bad for the environment.D. Stop online shopping to protect the environment.（3）Which of the following is to show that online shopping is wasteful?A. Large products need more packing materials.B. Paper use increased by 33 percent about ten years.C. Businesses need to build a store to sell the products.D. Online shopping costs less than shopping in a store.（4）What is probably the best title of the passage?A. A Good Deal to MakeB. A Different Lifestyle to KeepC. A Cleaner Way to ShopD. A New Business to Start（5）Which of the following shows the structure（结构）of the passage?（P=Paragraph）A.B.C.D.3．阅读理解My 14-year-old son, John, and I saw the coat at the same time in a second-hand clothing store. It stood out among big and old coats. It was so beautiful and had an unbelievable price, $ 28. I looked at my son and we both said nothing, but John's eyes shone. Dark, woolen coats were popular with teenage boys, but new ones could cost several hundred dollars. This coat was even better. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror. It fit him so well. John wore the coal to school the next clay. After he came home, I asked. "Did the kids like your coat?""They loved it," he said with a big grin.Over the next few weeks, John changed. He was polite, less argumentative, more thoughtful, and much happier. "Good dinner, Mom," he would say every evening. Without a word of complaining, he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said, "You're right. I guess I will." When I mentioned this change to one of his teachers, she joked that the coat must have changed him.John and I both know we should never judge a person by his clothes. But it is true that when wearing beautiful and suitable clothes, we may try to be better in thought, speech and behavior to match what is on the inside to what is on the outside.（1）What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. The price of the coat was too high.B. John liked the coat very much.C. They often went shopping together.D. The writer didn't want to buy the coat.（2）What did John use to do when he was asked to study?A. Start at once.B. Put off his homework.C. Work hard on schoolwork.D. Carry in wood for the stove.（3）Which of the following changes did NOT happen to John after he wore the coat?A. He was willing to follow suggestions.B. He often helped to do some housework.C. He always worried about his study.D. He said sweet words to make his mother happy.（4）What does the writer want to say through this passage?A. What we wear could help shape who we are inside.B. Life is full of possibilities when we are young.C. We should not judge people by their appearance.D. It's a good choice to try different things in our lives.4．阅读理解One Thursday afternoon, when I was in Grade 9, a new boy came into my classroom. He was short and thin. He walked up to the teacher and told her, very seriously, that he was new. His name was Christian. He sat down, took a look at me, and then looked away. I didn't think he was very nice and I was sure he wasn't the type I would like to become friends with.During that year, I didn't talk to him much, but he smiled at me when our eyes met, always shyly. He never ate lunch with anybody, and he never talked to anybody but me.But one day I joined those unkind kids who were making fun of him. We made fun of him though I thought it was wrong."Haven't you got any friends?" a kid asked Christian, who had walked past us alone, head down. "No, he hasn't got any friends. He's too stupid and shy," I said. Then Christian looked up at me with the saddest dog eyes I had ever seen. I felt very sorry at that moment.That night, I couldn't sleep because I couldn't get Christian's face out of my mind. In the weeks that followed, he never met my eyes in class and never smiled at me. It was really hard for me to decide to write him a note asking him to forgive （原谅） me. But I thought I should.The next day in class, I wrote him a note telling him how sorry I felt. About five minutes later, I turned and saw tears in his eyes. "You will never realize what your apology （道歉） has meant to me, Jimmy," he said to me. "I hope we can become friends."We had lunch together that noon and we had the best talk I had ever had. Over the years at high school, we were close friends.When I think back, I realize that, if I had not apologized, I would never have known what a lovely person Christian was!Apologies can really change your life, so never miss the chance to tell somebody you are sorry.（1）From the passage, we know Christian was a ________ boy.A. tall and fatB. short and shyC. short and activeD. lovely and fat（2）Jimmy felt ________ after he made fun of Christian with other unkind kids.A. happyB. interestedC. sorryD. bored（3）This passage tells us that ________.A. we should make an apology when we hurt othersB. Jimmy's apology was unimportant to ChristianC. Christian wasn't lovely in factD. it is impossible to say sorry to others5．阅读理解Big data（数据） is lot of sets of information that are put together so they can be used by a computer program. 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 informative6．阅读理解I'm sure most people like music.

But to our surprise, one English school allows children to listen to music or even to have the TV on while they are studying, and they find it is helpful to improve the students' grades.According to a research at Millfield School in the UK, around 20% of teenagers work better withbackground music, and 10% excel when allowed to finish their work with short walks around the room while up to 80% can concentrate （集中注意）better if allowed to play with a small object.The research has made the school use a very new way, encouraging students to discover which learning styles suit them best, and then do their homework listening to music or even lying down.
