"I broke Bobby’s plate. I didn’t know it was so fragile(7)."His mother put her arms round him and said, “Don’t feel so sad, Tom. We have other plates for Bobby.

The other person may say,“OK, I’ll meet you atMcDonald’s."This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say,“Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Smith’s," or“I want you to try the Chinese dumplings there. They’re great." This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him and you needn’t pay for the meal.You may just say,“Thank you. That would be very nice."American customs(1) about who pays for dates(2) are much the same as in other parts of the world. In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals.

Itis only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes, Everything else seems blurry(=unclear). Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near—sighted. ThenPeople who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in 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. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be correcte d 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.Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle (角度). To prove this to yourself, look at an object our of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.1. We should take good care of our eyes .A. only when we can see wellB. only when we cannot see perfectlyC. even if we can see wellD. only when we realize how important our eyes are2.

People who suffer from astigmatism have .A. one eye bigger than the otherB. eyes that are not exactly the right shapeC. a difficulty that can be corrected by an operationD. an eye difficulty that cannot be corrected by glasses13、(1分)Grandma was a wonderful story-teller, and she had a set of priceless, individually (独特地) tailored stories with which American grandparents of her day brought up children. There was the story of the little boys who had been taught complete, quick obedience (服从). One day when they were out on the grassy plain, their father shouted. “Fall down on your faces!” They did, and the terrible prairie(草原) fire swept over them and they weren’t hurt. There was also the story of three boys at school, each of whom received a cake sent from home.

中考英语阅读理解真题及答案(1)Edward rose early on the New-year morning. He looked in every room and wished a Happy New Year to his family. Then he ran into the street to repeat that to those he might meet.When he came back, his father gave him two bright, new silver dollars.His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some pretty books that he had seen at the bookstore.He left the house with a light heart, expecting to buy the books. As he ran down the street, he saw a poor family.“I wish you a Happy New Year.” said Edward, as he was passing on. The man shook his head.“You are not from this country.” said Edward. The man again shook his head, for he could not understand or speak his language. But he pointed to his mouth and to the children shaking with cold, as if (好像) to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.”Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in trouble. He took out his dollars and gave one to the man, and the other to his wife.They were excited and said something in their language, which doubtless meant, “We thank you so much that we will remember you all the time.”When Edward came home, his father asked what books he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up.“I have bought no books”, said he. “I gave my money to some poor people, who seemed to be very hungry then.” He went on, “I think I can wait for my books till next New Year.”“My dear boy,” said his father, “here are some books for you, mor e as a prize for your goodness of heart than as a New-year gift”“I saw you give the money cheerfully to the poor German family. It was nice for a little boy to do so. Be always ready to help others and every year of your life will be to you a Happy New Year.”48.

英语中考英语阅读理解100及答案经典

英语中考英语阅读理解100及答案经典一、初三英语阅读理解(含答案详细解析)1.阅读理解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 (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 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 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 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!(1)According to the passage who have a communication problem?A. parents and other peopleB. only school kids and their parentsC. teachers and their studentsD. parents and children of all ages(2)How many pieces of advice does the writer give us to bridge the generation gap?A. 5.B. 4.C. 3.D. 2.(3)The underlined word "bridge" in the passage means "___________".A. 建立B. 消除C. 通过D. 到达(4)If the values of your parents are different from those of yours, you'd better ___________.A. argue with themB. keep away from themC. agree with them all the timeD. tell your parents what you care about(5)The best title for the passage is ___________.A. How to bridge the generation gapB. How to deal with family problemsC. How to be good parentsD. How to be a good child【答案】(1)D(2)C(3)B(4)D(5)A【解析】【分析】文章大意:短文讲了家长和孩子之间有代沟,主要原因就是缺少沟通,当我们彼此了解了对方的观点和想法以后,就能很容易的理解对方,从而消除代沟。

英语阅读理解100篇(中级篇)-3_英语题库Passage Three(Pop Stars Earn Much)Pop stars today enjoy a style of living which was once the prerogative only of Royalty.Wherever they go,people turn out in their thousands to greet them.The crowds go wild trying to catch a brief glimpse of their smiling,colorfully dressed idols.The stars are transported in their chauffeur driven Rolls-Royces,private helicopters or executive aeroplanes.They are surrounded by a permanent entourage of managers,press agents and bodyguards.Photographs of them appear regularly in the press and all their comings and goings are reported,for,like Royalty,pop stars are news.If they enjoy many of the privileges of Royalty,they certainly share many of the inconveniences as well.It is dangerous for them to make unscheduled appearances in public.They must be constantly shielded from the adoring crowds which idolize them.They are no longer private individuals,but public property.The financial rewards they receive for this sacrifice cannot be calculated,for their rates of pay are astronomical.And why not?Society has always rewarded its top entertainers lavishly.The great days of Hollywood have become legendary:famous stars enjoyed fame,wealth and adulation on an unprecedented scale.By today’s standards,the excesses of Hollywood do not seem quite so spectacular.A single gramophone record nowadays may earn much more in royalties than the films of the past ever did.The competition for the title‘Top of the Pops’is fierce,but the rewards are truly colossal.It is only right that the stars should be paid in this way.Don’t the top men in industry earn enormous salaries for the services they perform to their companies and their countries?Pop stars earn vast sums in foreign currency–often more than large industrial concerns–and the taxman can only be grateful fro their massive annual contributions to the exchequer.So who would begrudge them their rewards?It’s all very well for people in humdrum jobs to moan about the successes and rewards of others.People who make envious remarks should remember that the most famous stars represent only the tip of the iceberg.For every famous star,there are hundreds of others struggling to earn a living.A man working in a steady job and looking forward to a pension at the end of it has no right to expect very high rewards.He has chosen security and peace of mind,so there will always be a limit to what he can earn.But a man who attempts to become a star is taking enormous risks. He knows at the outset that only a handful of competitors ever get to the very top. He knows that years of concentrated effort may be rewarded with complete failure. But he knows,too,that the rewards for success are very high indeed:they are the recompense for the huge risks involved and if he achieves them,he has certainly earned them.That’s the essence of private enterprise.1.The sentence Pop stars’style of living was once the prerogative only ofRoyalty means[A]their life was as luxurious as that of royalty.[B]They enjoy what once only belonged to the royalty.[C]They are rather rich.[D]Their way of living was the same as that of the royalty.2.What is the author’s attitude toward top stars’high income?[A]Approval.[B]Disapproval.[C]Ironical.[D]Critical.3.It can be inferred from the passage[A]there exists fierce competition in climbing to the top.[B]People are blind in idolizing stars.[C]Successful Pop stars give great entertainment.[D]The tax they have paid are great.4.What can we learn from the passage?[A]Successful man should get high-income repayment.[B]Pop stars made great contribution to a country.[C]Pop stars can enjoy the life of royalty.[D]Successful men represent the tip of the iceberg.5.Which paragraph covers the main idea?[A]The first.[B]The second.[C]The third.[D]The fourth.Vocabulary1.prerogative权力,(尤指)特权2.chauffeur受雇开车人,(尤指富人、要人的)司机3.entourage随行人员,伴随者,近侍;建筑物周围4.astronomical庞大的,天文的5.adulation奉承6.gramophone灌音7.colossal巨大的8.exchequer国库,财源Exchequer Bond国库债券9.begrudge感到不快/不满,忌妒10.humdrum平淡的,单调的11.moan呻吟声moan about发牢骚难句译注1.the prerogative of Royalty或the royal prerogative皇家的特权(再英国指国王名义上享有不经议会认可而采取行动的权力)。

2.People turn out in their thousands to greet them.【结构简析】turn out露面、集合、出席。

EX:A vast crowd turned out to watch the match.大批观众到场观看比赛。

【参考译文】成千上万的人们出来欢迎他们。

3.The great days of Hollywood have become legendry.【参考译文】好莱坞鼎盛时期成了神话。

4.By today’s standards,the excesses of Hollywood do not seem quite sospectacular.【参考译文】按今天的标准来看,好莱坞的奢华(过分的行为)似乎并不那么引人注目。
