青岛市二○一四年初中学生学业考试英语试题II．阅读理解阅读下列短文，做出正误判断或选出最佳答案。
A篇为判断正(A)误(B)题，B、C篇为选择题。
（共15小题，每小题1分，共15分）ADo you try to save electricity (电) and magazines at home? Do you make your bed every day? Read about the home habits of Americans. Are they the same as yours?26. The passage mainly talks about the home habits of Americans.27. 80% of Americans go out in the evening with the lights on.28. One fifth of Americans keep magazines for years and years.29. Most Americans like to keep the rooms clean and tidy.30. The people who make the beds are as many as those who wash the dishes every day.BMany people think the dinosaurs (恐龙) were the biggest animals that ever lived. They are wrong. The world’s biggest animal is still living and it lives in the ocean. It is called the blue whale (鲸鱼). Blue whales can be as long as 30 meters and weigh as much as 1,000 kilos. The largest dinosaurs weighed only 500 kilos.The whale is not only the world’s biggest animal, it is also one of the smartest. We know that whales can communicate with each other, although we do not know what they are saying. Perhaps one day we will learn how to communicate with whales, and then they will be able to tell us about themselves.Although they live in the ocean, whales don’t lay eggs like fish do. They are mammals (哺乳动物). They give birth to babies and produce milk inside their own bodies to feed them. Humans are also mammals.There are lots of stories about whales, but perhaps the most famous story is Moby Dick, which was written by an American writer named Herman Melville. In this book, a sailor named Captain Ahab spends a lot of time trying to find and kill an enormous white whale named Moby Dick.Sadly, there are not many kinds of whales left. People have killed them for food and other things for thousands of years. However, there are now laws (法律) to stop people killing most kinds of whales. So perhaps there will be more of them in years to come.31. Which picture shows the correct size of the largest whale?A. B. C. D.32. Whales can ______.A. tell us about themselvesB. lay eggsC. communicate with each otherD. live on land33. Moby Dick is ______.A. a story written by Herman MelvilleB. a sailorC. the name of a blue whaleD. a famous dinosaur34. There are not many kinds of whales left because ______.A. they don’t lay eggsB. people have killed themC. they live in the oceanD. there are laws against them35. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the world’s biggest animalB. lots of stories about whalesC. laws to stop people killing whalesD. the differences between dinosaurs and whalesCSome people can never be forgotten. That’s because their names become common words. As many as 50,000 words in the English language get their meaning from people’s names. Some are real people, others are characters in books or stories.Often a new dish is given the name of its inventor. The Chinese dish Gongbao chicken was created in Sichuan Province by Ding Baozhen. He served the hot dish when he was governor (总督) of the province from 1876 to 1886. After Ding died, people named the dish for him.The fisherman Willern Beukelz began to pickle (腌制) fish in the 14th century. His method of pickling fish was widely used, but people didn’t pronounce his name “Beukelz” correctly. Soon “pickles”became popular in many countries.Granny Smith apples are named for Maria Ann Smith, a grandmother. Maria was born into a farm family in Britain in 1799 and married Thomas Smith at the age of 19. Then they moved to Australia. On their farm near Sydney, they grew apple trees. Their special kind of apple became known in Australia as a Granny Smith.More than just foods take people’s names. Many people enjoyriding on a Ferris wheel, named for engineer George W. G. Ferris. He designed the first one for Chicago’s World Columbian Exposition in 1893.Scientific laws, diseases (疾病), sports terms and places around the world also use people’s names. Y ou can’t escape them, they’re everywhere!36. About 50,000 English words get their meaning from ______.A. people’s interestsB. people’s namesC. the names of placesD. the names of countries37.

【缤纷自然篇】-1We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded. When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration (迁移) is probably the migration of fish, which is called “salmon”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move downto the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.Recently (近来), scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster (龙虾). Every year,when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walkacross the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go.So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at othertimes we don’t. Maybe living things just like to travel.1.Most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to _______.A.give birthB. enjoy warmer weatherC. find food more easilyD. find beautiful places2.The fish called “salmon” spends a long time in ______.A. salt waterB. riversC. fresh waterD. its birthplace3.The mice in northern Europe move when _______.A. they give birthB. the place gets too crowdedC. the weather is badD. they haven’t enough food4.The lobsters move ________.A. to the fresh waterB. at a certain timeC. to the underseaD. to find more food5.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Animals move to find food more easily.B.The migration of the fish called “salmon” is the most famous migration.C.Living things move from one place to another because they like to travel.D. Sometimes we know why and how living things move from one place to another, but sometimes we don’t.【答案与解析】这篇短文讲述了某些生物的迁移这一自然现象，并分析了迁移的原因。

2014年中考英语复习：阅读理解练习含答案（20篇）初三英语阅读理解20练1.The worst tourist in the world is Nicholas Scottie of San-Francisco. Once he flew from the U.S. to his hometown in Italy to see someone at home. The plane made one-hour stop to get oil at Kennedy Airport of New York. As he thought he had arrived home. Mr. Scottie got off the plane. He thought he was in Rome. When nobody was there to meet him, Mr. Scottie thought maybe they were held up by heavy traffic. While looking for their address, Mr. Scottie found that the old “Rome” had changed a lot. Many old buildings were replaced by high modern ones. He also found that many people spoke English instead of Italian and that many streets were written in English. Mr. Scottie knew very little English, so he asked a policeman the way to the bus station. He happened to meet a policeman who was also born in Italy and answered him in the same language. After twelve hour’s traveling round on a bus, the driver handed him over to a second policeman. He asked the policeman why the Rome police employed so many people as policemen speaking English instead of Italian. Mr. Scottie did not believe he was in New York when he was told so. To get him on a plane back to San Francisco, he was sent to the airport in a police car with sirens (警报) on. “Look,” said Scottie to his interpreter (翻译), “I know I’m in Italy. That’s how they drive.”1. When Mr. Scottie arrived at the airport, nobody met him because _______.A. he was in New YorkB. he was not in RomeC. policeman could help himD. both A and B2. In what direction did the plane fly when Mr. Scottie went to Italy from the U.S.?A. To the eastB. To the southC. To the westD. To the north3. Why was Mr. Scottie so sure that he was in Rome?A. Because he knew little about the U.S.B. Because he knew little bout Italy.C. Because he traveled a lot.D. Because he didn’t travel much4. At last Mr. Scottie __________.A. know he did something wrongB. still thought he was in Rome.C. knew he was wrongD. knew he was at home5. Do you think many people do the same things as Mr. Scottie did?A. Nobody but Mr. Scottie made this kind of mistake.B. Many people make this kind of mistake.C. Few people make this kind of mistakeD. 50% of people will make the same mistakeKey: 1-5 DAABC2.“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the world has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool.” You may think, “He’s so cool,” when you see your favourite footballer. We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her stude nts to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool.”Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.6. We know that the word “cool” has had ________.A. only one meaningB. no meaningsC. many different meaningsD. the same meaning7. In the passage, the word “express” means “____________.”A. seeB. showC. knowD. feel8.

The write r takes an example to show he is _______ the waythe word is used.A. pleased withB. strange toC. worried aboutD. careful with10. In the passage, the writer suggests （暗示）that the word “cool” ______.A. can be used instead of many wordsB. usually means something interestingC. can make your life colourfulD. may not be as cool as it seemsKey: 6-10 CBACDn arts11.

Worlds like these are planets. But there are other stars, other suns, not only thousands of them, but millions of them. Do different stars have planets? We can see the planets round our own sun. but we haven’t been anymore. The stars are too far away from us. Stars give out light, but the planets don’t have any light of their own. So we can’t see them. They are too far, and too dark. Still, we can tell that some stars have planets. While a big planet goes round, it pulls its star to one side. And sometimes we can see this. Then we know that the star has a planet. For example, Barnard’s Star is a small red star. And it is the quickest star in the universe. But sometimes it moves slower, and then quicker again. We have known Bernard’s Star for many years, and now we are sure it has a planet.16. A star is a large body in the universe. It _________.A. moves round our sunB. has light of its ownC. can also be called a sunD. both B and C17. Which of the following is not true?A. The earth is one of the sun’s world’sB.

Sometimes they see that the planet pulls the star to one side and makes it move slower.B. The planet is shiningC. The planet is next to our earth.D. The planet is a red one.Key: 16-20 BCBBA5.We were going to play against a team from a country school.They didn’t come until the last minute. They looked worsethan we had thought. They were wearing dirty blue trousers and looked like farm boys.We sat down for a rest. We felt that we didn’t need any practice against a team like that.The game began. One of us got the ball and he shot a long pass to our forward （前锋）. From out of nowhere a boy in an old T-shirt stopped the ball and with beautiful style （姿势）he shot and got two points. Then another two points in a minute. Soon the game was all over. We were beaten by the country team.After that, we thought a lot. We certainly learned that even though your team is very good, you can’t look down upon the others and still need to do you best. And the most important lesson we learned was: One can’t judge (判断) a person or a team only by their clothes.21. The team from the country were in old clothes so the writer’s team _______.A. looked down upon themB. couldn’t winC. didn’t like the city boyD. were afraid of them22.
