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”。
中考英语阅读理解附答案
No. 1 中考英语阅读理解·“老”字趣谈每个国家都有各自的文化习惯;而这种文化上的差异往往会引起一定的误会;不过只要熟悉对方的风俗习惯做到入乡随俗;一切就OK啦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 description “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.By Jack1.

The sunlight filtered through the leaves, creating a beautiful pattern on the ground.We followed a narrow path that led us deeper into the forest. Along the way, we saw various kinds of plants and flowers. Some of them were so colorful and unique that we couldn't help but stop and admire them. We also came across a small stream that was crystal clear. The water was so cold and refreshing that we took off our shoes and dipped our feet in.After walking for a while, we reached a clearing where there was a large rock. We climbed up on the rock and had a picnic. We ate sandwiches, fruits, and drank juice. It was a perfect moment, surrounded by nature.As we continued our adventure, we stumbled upon an old abandoned cabin. It was a bit spooky, but we were brave enough to explore it. Inside, we found some old tools and a dusty book. It was like stepping back in time.Finally, as the sun began to set, we made our way back home. We weretired but happy, filled with memories of our amazing outdoor adventure.1. What did they do when they saw the small stream?A. They swam in it.B. They took pictures of it.C.

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.

Ways to ring in the new yearWhen New Year comes, people like to celebrate the beginning of the year in different ways.

For example, if you want to learn to cook, you could offer to help your family prepare dinner every Friday night in January. You could help choose the recipe, supermarket for the ingredients, and then do the cooking.________Write “2024” on a bottle.

Write yourself a letter1．2．3．4．5．What else can you do to celebrate the beginning of the year?（23-24九年级上·浙江湖州·一模）Transportation means the way to go out. It has greatly changed with thedevelopment of society.Walking was the main way until humans used animals to carry things. More than 5, 000 years ago people made the wheel successfully. This made it possible for animals to pull carts. People can travel faster. They also traveled by water, at first with simple wooden boat.The steam engine (蒸汽机) was invented in the 1700s. It was an important thing in transportation history and it led the transportation into the modern times. Steam-powered boats and ships could easily travel without wind. On land, inventors used it to drive trains. This made railroads develop fast. The late 1800s saw the first successful bicycles and cars. This made quick and easy transportation possible to more people than ever before. People who bought cars needed more and better roads.In 1903 Wilbur and Orville Wright flew the world’s first plane. The invention of the jet engine in the1940s made air travel the fastest transportation in history.The development of transportation has brought problems, however. Traffic jams, accidents and air pollution are becoming more and more serious. Choosing a green way to travel may be a thing we can do for the earth. Let’s do it!任务A：补全第1—4题的信息。

英语中考英语阅读理解训练一、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.

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.
