九年级初三英语课外阅读理解期末专项练习10篇【附答案】1The 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.

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 students 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. AndI 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. If you are ________ something, you may say, “It’s cool.”A. interested inB. angry aboutC. afraid ofD. unhappy with9. The writer takes an example to show he is _______ the way the 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 CBACD22:06 On TV next week11.

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.

The planet is a red one.Key: 16-20 BCBBA5We were going to play against a team from a country school.They didn’t come until the last minute. They looked worse than 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 aboy 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.

人教版九年级英语下册阅读理解10篇(含答案)

九年级英语下册阅读理解10篇【一】If you were born in the 2000s, you are called the oh-ohs. Maybe you feel proud of yourselves? But what do other people think about your generation(代)?Some adults think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phones so much. They wonder how you will deal with school, friends and family.Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life on their own. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents”. They were always there to guide and help their children with a busy program filled with homework and after-school activities such as dancing , drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them，today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. More young people volunteer to help their neighborhoods. There are also brave young people such as MalalaYousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights of going to school in poor areas.So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you do great and laugh out loud.1.Which of the following is an oh-oh?2. A girl who is good-looking.3. B. A girl who is smart.4. C. A boy who was born in 2004.5.The oh-ohs are thought as the "face-down generation” because they___________.6. A. use their phones too much7. B. need to study hard in school8. C. are more creative than their parents9.What does the underline word “spoilt” mean in the third paragraph?A. 独立的B. 溺爱的C. 顺从的4. What do "helicopter parents” do for their children?A. They help their children to face all the challenges.B. They keep their children away from after-school activities.C. They guide and plan everything for them.5.What does the passage tell us?A. Young people should be better educated.B. The neighborhoods should care about teenagers.C. The oh-ohs should be hopeful about the future.【二】Penguins always live close to ocean waters since they spend three quarters of their lifetime there. They come onto land only to lay eggs and look after their chicks. Each spring, the penguins will return to the same place to lay their eggs.The largest penguins stand to 1.1 m tall and can weigh more than 41 kg. The penguin’s body is good for swimming. So they are the birds who can’t fly, but are fantastic swimmers. They have great eyesight which helps them catch fish in the darkness of the ocean. Besides, some penguins sleep standing up.How do penguins live in such cold ocean waters?They have special glands (腺).Penguins drink salty seawater and eat food full of salt. Most animals (including humans) would become ill after eating so much salt. But penguins have special glands (腺) which are above their eyes. These glands can put salt out of their insides and send it through their nose. All they have to do is to sneeze or shake their heads, and salty water will be taken out. They sometimes look like they have runny noses. They wear the great winter coat.Each penguin feather (皮毛) keeps the birds warm and dry in more than one way. The part at the bottom holds in body heat, while the part at the top prevents the water from touching them.They have strong feet.Since penguins can’t fly, they depend on their pink feet to get them to places. Their feet have nails (指甲) that help the birds in climbing the rock where they often build their nests with rocks and stones to lay their eggs. The birds also use their nails to push themselves forward on snow and ice. Along with their small wings, they use their feet to move themselves when they are swimming in cold waters.1.Penguins come onto land to lay their eggs ________.A. in springB. in summerC. in autumn2. The writer wrote the first two paragraphs to _________.A. introduce a topicB. give examplesC. show a result3.Penguins often build their nests ________.A. in the waterB. in the treeC. on the rock4.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. It takes penguins half of their lifetime to live in the water.B. Penguins’ feather can prevent the water from touching them.C. Penguins have runny noses because they are ill.5.What is the main idea of this passage?A. The knowledge about penguins.B. The place where penguins live.C. The ways that penguins keep warm.【三】After touring the Mogao Grottoes(莫高窟) yesterday, we got up early this morning and headed outto the Mingsha Sand Dunes(沙丘). We were very surprised when we saw them in front of us through the car window — they towered like mountains! Later, I read in my guidebook that some of the dunes are up to 250 meters in height. Amazing!The name “Mingsha” means “singing sand,” because when the wind blows over the sand it sounds like a musical instrument being played. We didn’t hear anything that sounded like a musical instrument while we were there, however. What we did hear were the sounds of camels right inside the gates — there were hundreds of them all sitting there with their handlers. We decided to take a camel ride, and were soon glad we did, as it was the most wonderful experience of our lives.The camels were calm and gentle(温和的) and the ride was actually quite comfortable. With their wide feet, they easily climbed up a sandy dune. At the top of the dune we saw mile upon mile of dunes stretch(绵延) out before us.We stopped at one large dune with wooden steps on it, and we went sledding(滑雪橇). It reminded me of when I was a kid sledding in the snow, but this was down a hill of warm sand. It was so fun that we tried it over and over again, until we were too tired to walk up the dune.Finally, hot and tired, we decided to leave the dunes so that we could eat some cold spicy(香辣的) noodles. It was a perfect ending to a day we’ll never forget.1. They went to the Mingsha Sand Dunes _______.A. by carB. on footC. by bus2. When they got to the Mingsha Sand Dunes, they heard _______.A. the sound of singing sandB. a musical instrument being playedC. the sounds of camels3. What do they think of the camels?A. big and strongB. calm and gentleC. big and tall10.What did they do when they stopped at one large dune with wooden steps on it?11. A. They took a camel ride.12. B. They went sledding.13. C. They ate some cold spicy noodles.14.The writer wants to tell us that _______.15. A. their trip to the Mingsha Dunes is wonderful and unforgettable16. B. the Mingsha Dunes is a right place to ride camels and go sledding17. C. they’ll never forget the day because it’s hot and they were tired【四】It’s a breathtaking picture. The sun, the moon and other planets (without Earth) of our solar system(太阳系) stand side by side as a loving family.Taken by Wang Zhipu, a 17-year-old Chinese boy, it won the top prize in the Young Competition category(组别) at the 2021 Astronomy Photographer of the Year, the world’s biggest astrophotography(天文摄影) competition.Wang loved stargazing when he was a little kid. In Grade 8, he got his first telescope(文望远镜). That was when he became a die-hard fan of astrophotography. “Astrophotography needs lots of time and effort. You may need to take hundreds or even thousands of photos, then edit(编辑) them to make one picture,” said Wang.In 2019, Wang started to take pictures of Saturn(土星) and Jupiter(木星). He got up early in the morning to get the best shots. In 2020, he got pictures of all the planets in the solar system.“I tried three times to photograph Mercury(水星). The first two tries were not satisfactory because they were not clear enough,” said Wang. The last time he took more than 10,000 pictures of Mercury and chose thousands of them to edit.“I couldn’t believe that I could win the top prize,” Wang said. “That was certainly a great honor and it encourages me to take better pictures in the future!”1. What does the word “it” refer to(指代) in Paragraph 2?A. The breathtaking picture.B. Our solar system.C. A loving family.2. What does the underlined word “stargazing” mean in Chinese?A. 收集星星B. 仰望星空C. 拍摄星球3. Wang Zhipu got his first telescope _______.A. when he won the top prizeB.when he was a little boyC. when he was in Grade 84. Which of the following is right?A. He took the picture when the sun, the moon and other planets stood side by side.B. He took more than 10,000 pictures of Mercury and chose thousands of them to edit.C. He believed that he could win the top prize because he had tried three times.5. What is the best title of the passage?A. A breathtaking pictureB. A die-hard fan of telescopeC. A Chinese boy won the top prize【五】When Wang Haiyan was young, her favorite toys weren’t Barbie dolls. Instead, she started learning to make shadow puppets(皮影) from her father at 13. Now 43, Wang has spent 30 years practicing and spreading the art.Shadow puppetry is a form of theater that uses puppets made from leather(皮) or paper, accompanied(伴随) by music and singing. Invented during the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC— AD 24), it tells us about folklore(民间传说) and historical stories,passing down culture and customs over thousands of years.Shadow puppetry is all about creating the puppets and performing with them. Wang’s hometown of Hua County, Shaanxi, is known as the birthplace of the folk art.Puppet-makers must follow 24 steps to make the puppets, including washing the leather, carving(雕刻), and painting, according to Wang. Carving is the most difficult part. “We have a special carving technique — moving the leather under the knife,” Wang said. “You have to hold the knife still in your right hand and only move the leather in your left hand.”It took Wang three years to master this skill. She used a brick(砖块) to strengthen her left hand while practicing. It takes about 3,000 carves to make a shadow puppet. “The complicated(复杂的) steps make it hard to hand down the folk art,” she said.But Wang has found a way to do so. In 2016, she made shadow puppets based on the cartoon series HuyaoXiaohongniang(《狐妖小红娘》) and gave a livestreaming performance. She used colors like blue and purple that are hardly seen in shadow puppetry and added more sticks to the puppets to make the performance livelier.1. What does the second paragraph explain?A. Why Wang is interested in shadow puppetry.B. When shadow puppetry became popular.C. What shadow puppetry is.2. Which is the hardest step in making a puppet?A. Washing the leather.B. Carving the leather.C. Painting the leather.3. According to Wang, why is it difficult to spread shadow puppetry?A. It’s difficult to learn to make puppets.B. This art is only known in a small county.C. It requires people of great strength to perform the art.4. What is the last paragraph about?A. The difficulties in performing this art online.B. Improvements in making puppets.C. The efforts Wang made to spread this art.5. What do we know from the passage?A. Wang spent 13 years learning to carve puppets.B. Wang enjoys getting young people interested in this art.C. Wang has set up a company to make and sell shadow puppets.【六】The first people to go into space only went for short trips to see what it was like. Today, astronauts can spend weeks or even months living and working in space. We all know that living in space is very different from living on earth. So, what’s astronauts’ daily life like?Brushing teethAstronauts brush their teeth in the normal way as we do, but there is a difference! On the International Space Station (ISS), there is no weight pulling things downwards like on earth, so everything including the water and toothpaste floats(漂浮) around. The toothpaste(牙膏) which astronauts use can be swallowed after they brush their teeth and the mouth is then cleaned with a wet paper napkin. The astronauts have to do it with their mouths as closed as possible to prevent the toothpaste floating out!EatingNutrition(营养) plays an important role in keeping the health of the astronauts. However, not all the food can be taken to space. For example, American astronaut John Young took a sandwich into space in 1965. If its tiny pieces had got into space plane’s electronics, it could have caused considerable malfunction(故障). So, astronauts’ food is specially prepared. The food trays(盘子) are prepared on the ground for each astronaut and sent to the ISS before he/she arrives. Red food trays contain foods from Russia and blue ones contain food from American/European countries.ExerciseThe absence of weight leads to health problems such as bone and muscle loss. So, on the ISS there is a running machine and a special exercise bicycle. Astronauts have to do at least 2 hours of exercise every day to keep in good shape. There are also some pulleys(滑轮) and ropes. All these help them maintain the condition of their bones and muscles.1. Astronauts brush their teeth differently than we do mainly because _______.A. water is not enoughB. everything in space becomes lighterC. there is no weight in space2. The underlined word “swallow” probably means “_______”.A. 蒸发B. 吞咽C. 扔弃3. Why does the author mention the case of John Young in Paragraph 3?A. To describe the use of different food trays.B. To explain why not all food can go into space.C. To introduce how astronauts’ food is prepared.4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the last paragraph?A. Space environment has an influence on astronauts’ health.B. Astronauts exercise no more than two hours a day.C. The space station has no room for astronauts to exercise.5. What’s the best tittle of the passage?A. The problems in space.B. The life in space.C. The challenges in space.【七】Classic books never go out of fashion. The Outsider first came out in 1967. But even though the book is old, it is still worth reading. The book is written by US writer S.E. Hinton.The book tells the story of a 14-year-old boy called Ponyboy Curtis. He struggles with (挣扎于)right and wrong in a society where he believes he is an outsider. The story took place in Oklahoma, US, in 1965.In the book, the children are divided into two groups. One includes Curtis and Greasers, which are mostly made up of poor kids. They have longer hair and often smoke at a young age. The other group is called the Socs, which is made up of rich children. They wear expensive clothes and drive high-tech cars. Those two groups do not get along well. The book only shows us two weeks of the boy’s life. But unexpected things happen and change the boy’s life forever.I was touched by the friendship among the boys. When any of them had a problem, the others would help. Although they are not well-educated, they are kind and brave. For example, when Johnny was hurt and in hospital, his friends visited him almost every day. They brought him food and told him interesting stories. I always dreamed of having kind and strong friendships like this.This book shows the beautiful personalities in those ordinary people. I advise that teenagers read this book and I hope they can enjoy it.1. What does the writer mean by saying “Classic books never go out of fashion.”?A. Books about fashion are always popular.B. Good books are worth reading all the time.C. Students should read some fashionable books.2. The story in the book took place ________.A. in 1965B. in 1967C. more than 14 years ago3. The writer divided the boys into two groups according to ________.A. their families’ wealthB. their looksC. their studies4. The writer always dreamed about ________ in his life.A. healthB. knowledgeC. friendship5. The writer wrote this text to ________.A. tell us his early lifeB.introduce a book to teenagersC. explain what classic is【八】Dogs have always been considered people’s best friends. However, as miniature pigs (小型猪) are becoming popular, will they win over people’s love?Since little is known about pigs’ social skills and their communicative behavior towards humans, experts decided to make a study to compare dogs and pigs. This experiment required solving a problem. Each animal was presented at first with a problem he could solve. In this case, it was a box with food that could be easily opened. Then, they were presented with the same box, which is the unsolvable problem.What did the researchers find out? When the box in the room was empty, both the pigs and the dogs turned to people for help. However, when opening the box with food inside became a challenge, dogs turned to people earlier and for longer periods of time. Pigs, on the other hand, were faster solving the problem and turned to people less often for help.So while pigs, behavior proved to be similar to dogs towards people, pigs were more independent when they had to solve a problem. Another interesting finding is that only dogs looked up at people’s faces when they didn’t expect to receive any food at all.According to The Science Times, pigs make great pets. Similar to dogs, they are social animals that like to live in groups. Miniature pigs are also known to be highly intelligent and clean. What’s more, they get along well with cats and can live long lives of up to 20 years.Still, there’s something important to consider. Pig owners should make sure that their pet pig will receive loving care. Pigs like to play with toys and can learn tricks. They also need exercise, or they can become too obese. No matter how big or small pigs are, they are still pigs and they require special attention.It seems both dogs and pigs can make friendly and social pets. However, according to science, the bond (纽带) between dogs and humans is still the strongest.1. What can be the purpose of the study?A. To see if pigs are as smart as dogs.B. To see if pigs get used to human society.C. To see if pigs are better friends with humans than dogs.2. When pigs and dogs faced the same challenge in the study, _________.A. only pigs went to ask people for helpB. dogs needed less help from people than pigsC. pigs were better at dealing with the challenge than dogs3. What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?A. Pig’s friendly behaviors.B.Reasons to keep a pet pig.C.Great abilities of pigs.4. The underlined word “obese” can be replaced by _________.A. fatB. stupidC. sleepy5. What is the best title for the passage?A. Advice on how to keep a pet pigB. Things to consider while keeping a petC. Are miniature pigs people’s new best friends?【九】Stephen CurryMy favorite basketball player is Stephen Curry.Physically, Curry looks younger than most other men. His baby face makes him look even cuter.Curry is gentle and good-tempered. Basketball matches are often so intense that there can be some conflicts(冲突) between the players. But when Curry meets conflicts, he always stays calm.At the same time, Curry is so hard-working that he practices basketball every day to improve his skills. Also, he is very determined(坚定的). He tries to be himself and never be easily influenced by others.Stephen Curry is the person I respect the most. He has inspired me a lot. I will work harder, trying to become a good person like him.Wang Kailin, 15, BeijingThe Kite RunnerMy favorite book is The Kite Runner.This story is mainly about Amir and Hasan’s friendship. Hasan is a good kite runner. When he went to catch a kite, a bad boy named Assef humiliated(羞辱) Hasan. Amir saw the bullying(欺侮), but he didn’t help Hasan because he was afraid. Later, feeling too sorry for Hasan, Amir drove away Hasan and his dad. Amir then went to America. Many years later, Amir’s uncle asked him to go back to Afghanistan and save Hasan’s son, Strabo. Later, Amir showed a great encouragement and tried his best to make up his mistakes. He went to Kabul and looked for Strabo. Finally, Amir got the salvation(拯救) of his own soul(灵魂).I was deeply moved by this story. We should try our best to run for the “kite”. The author also tells us to love peace and life.Wu Yulin, 14, GuangDong1.According to the first passage, Wang Kailin thinks Curry is _______.A. cute and good at physicsB. gentle but determinedC. bad-tempered but hard-working2. What does the underlined word “intense” mean?A. 精彩的B. 激烈的C. 震撼的3. What does the book The Kite Runner mainly talk about?A. Kiteflying.B. Friendship.C. Bullying.4. What can we infer(推断) from the second passage?A. The bad boy named Assef became a good kite runner later.B. Amir hardly regretted not helping Hasan.C. Amir went back to Afghanistan and saved Hasan’s son.5. What’s Wu Yulin’s main purpose of writing the last Paragraph(段落)?A. To introduce a topic.B. To give examples.C. To express feelings.【十】Recently, the term “carbon neutral(碳中和)” has been used frequently at some important meetings in many countries. Many countries have put forward the goal of striving(奋斗目标) to be carbon neutral. China is expected to be carbon neutral by 2060. So, as middle school students, what can we do to protect the environment and live a low carbon life? Here are some suggestions for you.Travel in a green way. Now more Chinese people have cars of their own. It has brought us a lot of benefits but has created some serious problems as well. So we’d better do more walking, cycling and less driving. By doing so, we can save energy and reduce pollution.Cut down white pollution. We should reduce the pollution of plastic bags. When you go to the supermarket, bring your own shopping bags.Save water. Lack(缺乏) of water resources will affect the ecological environment(生态环境). So please turn off the tap after using it.Sort(分类) the rubbish. Doing garbage classification(垃圾分类) in a right way can turn waste into wealth.Plant more trees. Planting more trees means cutting down and reducing the carbon footprint(碳足迹) and spreading of greenhouse gases(气体). For example, the trees planted in China are playing an important role. A report published in Nature shows that CO2 absorption(吸收) in two new forest areas in China is more than we thought. The two areas are located in China’s southwestern and northeastern provinces. They make up over 35 percent of China’s carbon sinks(碳汇). The main natural carbon sinks are trees and other plants.Use both sides of the paper. The paper production process uses a lot of trees.Now is the time that we should take up our responsibility to protect our environment from being polluted. Let’s join our hands and take actions immediately.1.How many suggestions does the writer give in the passage to be carbon neutral?A. 5.B. 6.C. 7.2. In order to protect the environment and live a low carbon life, we can _______.①walk, cycle more and drive less ①use plastic bags while shopping①use only one side of the paper ①turn off the water after using it①do garbage classification in a right wayA. ①①①①①B. ①①①①C. ①①①3. China’s carbon sinks are mainly located in the _______.A. southeast and northeastB. southwest and northeastC. southeast and northwest4.

初三英语 | 期末阅读理解专项练习10篇期末考前测试一下吧！1The 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.

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 st reet, 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 teacherasked her students 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.

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 li ght, 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 goesround, 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.

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.

2．阅读理解According to a 2018 study from San Francisco State University, nearly 2. 4 billion people around the world used a smartphone in 2017. By the end of 2019, more than a third of the global population will be using a smartphone.However, smartphone technology can be a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it sends us unlimited amounts of information. On the other hand, using a smartphone may become an addiction.Erik Peper and Richard Harvey are both health education professors at San Francisco State university. They led the study. Peper explains that smartphone addiction forms connections in the brain that are similar to drug addiction.And these connections form slowly over time. Also, addiction to social media may affect our emotional state. The two professors asked 135 university students about their habit of smartphone use and their feelings. They found that students who used their phones the most reported higher levels of feeling lonely, depressed and anxious.Peper and Harvey do not blame users for their technology addiction. They believe it is the tech industry's desire to make more money that is to blame for the technology addiction. The researchers warm that workers in the technology industry know how to control our brains and turn us into addicts.But the researchers say that we can limit our brains to be less addicted to our phones and computers. Enk Peper suggests timing off our phones before we sleep or do something important. The researchers also suggest taking control of when and where you answer texts or emails. You do not need to answer them all. And you certainly don't need to answer them as soon as you get them. They also suggest putting limits on the time you spend on social media. If you want to catch up with friends on Facebook, set aside a small amount of time to it. You should focus on important tasks and do not allow technology to disturb you.（1）What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A. Smartphone use has become extremely common.B. Most young people can't live without smartphones.C. Smartphones make our life more colorful and convenient.D. Most people consider smartphones as the greatest invention.（2）The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means smartphone technology____.A. has a brilliant futureB. can be better than most people thinkC. has both advantages and disadvantagesD. can give us unlimited amounts of information（3）What did Enk Peper and Richard Harvey find about smartphone use?A. It can help reduce loneliness.B. It's more popular with students.C. It's preferred by young people feeling lonely.D. It can harm students' emotional state in many ways.（4）What does the last paragraph mainly want to tell us?A. Social media isn't that important to us.B. We can train our brine to do many things.C. We shouldn't become addicted to our smartphones.D. There are ways to deal with Smartphone use addiction.（5）Which of the followings is True?A. We can use smartphones to deal with loneliness.B. An addiction can't be controlled if we still use smartphones.C. There were nearly 2. 4 billion people using smartphones in the world in 2017.D. Stop using smartphones if you don't know when and where you should answer the emails.【答案】（1）A（2）C（3）D（4）D（5）C【解析】【分析】【文章大意】本文讲述了智能手机的利与弊。

初中英语阅读理解10篇（含答案）

When Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502, he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place Costa Rica, which means “rich coast” in Spanish.Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important product in Costa Rica and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries like America and West Germany. Bananas are the country’s second most important export.Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors.Education is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a school and education is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. Boys and girls go to separate (单独的) schools. Classes begin in March and end in November. The other three months of the year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.1.

This passage is mainly about ______.A. Christopher ColumbusB. Costa RicaC. some products from Costa RicaD. the education of Costa RicaChristian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease called beri-beri. He was going there to try and find a cure.At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (细菌) caused beri-beri. He raised some chickens. He didn’t eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate —refined white rice (精炼米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery —that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins (维生素). The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person’s food.Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they don’t, they can also take vitamin pills.6. The underlined word “cure” in Paragragh 1 probably means ______.A. a medical treatmentB. a kind of vitaminC. a kind of germD. a kind of ric7.

Christian Eijkman’s experiment was successfulD. the Javanese’s disease was caused by a kind of germAmerica is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily. Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.

They can’t even understand a bit of music.”“I’m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.”But, one younger musician said, “There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.”I’ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.Attitu des are important. Whether they’ positive or negative, they’ rubbing off on you. If you’ around re re re people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame (责怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are you will start to as well. So it’s time to take a look at the people you call “friends”.This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard (标准) for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard.Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you’re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.16.

Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called “What Color is Y our Parachute (降落伞)?” by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (职业) since it was first published in nineteen seventy.Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests.

One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two g eese — so one moose, two meese?How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.36. According to the passage ______.A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different thingsB. there should be egg in an eggplantC. pineapples are the apples on the pine treeD. boxing rings should be round37.

We all need to dream," some scientists say.Dreams take up about one quarter of our sleeping time. People have several dreams each night. Dreams are like short films. They are usually in colour. Some dreams are like old films. They come to us over and over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something. Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an answer.Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams. They may have been thinking about their work all day. These thoughts can carry over into dreams.Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can't remember the dream. Dreams can disappear quickly from memoryToo much dreaming can be harmful . The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is hard at work when we dream.

At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn't work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, informationcould be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time.At first the Internet was only used by the government , but in the early 1970s, universities , hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made "surfing" the Internet more convenient.Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students.The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people's life.1.

Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, theproblem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, Man moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.Air pollution is still the most serious. It's bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coalin houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air.Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. It is sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in population at the same time.1.
