初二英语阅读理解题
初二英语阅读理解精选题(一) My class will put on a short play in English at the end of the year. Yesterday our English teacher gave us copies of the play. “Choose a character in the play whom you’d like to be, ”she told us. “This afternoon learn a few lines of this part for homework. Then tomorrow you can say those lines in front of the class. I’ll decide who play each part.” I wanted to have one of the bigger parts in the play, so I choose the part of the king. He has a lot of lines to say. I learned them by heart. This morning in our English lesson we had to say our lines. I acted the part of the king. When I said my lines, I put a lot of expression into my acting. I thought I acted really well. Everyone in the class read a part and then the teacher who would play each part. Many of the students in my class couldn’t act at all. They couldn’t even read without making lots of mistakes. I was sure that I would get a big part in the play. However, the teacher gave me the part of a soldier. He has only one line. It is, “Yes, sir!” I was very disappointed. At the end of the lesson I went up to her and asked her why I had such a small part. “You put too much expression in your acting,” she said. “Good acting is not big acting. It is acting the audience can believe in.” I think I know what she means. 48. What did the boy want to do in the play? A. To get an important part B. To organize the play C. To get a large acting part. D. To work the lights. 49. How did the boy feel when the teacher told the class they would put on a play? A. Bored. B. Sad. C. Excited. D. Unhappy.

浅谈如何提高初中英语阅读理解能力
浅谈如何提高初中英语阅读理解能力 [摘要]阅读理解是初中英语教学中的重要环节，在历年中考英语中也占用相当大的比例。《英语课程标准》把英语阅读能力的培养视为中学英语教学的重要目标之一：了解信息，丰富知识，欣赏，获得乐趣，培养和发展阅读技能，在篇章中学习语言知识。《中学英语教学大纲》中规定，“中学英语教学要发展学生听、说、读、写的基本技能，培养在口头上和书面上初步运用英语进行交际的能力，更侧重培养学生的阅读能力。”因此，学生阅读理解能力的培养已成为主要教学目标之一，也是重要目标之一。但我们在平时教学中发现，阅读理解是学生们尤其是基础差的学生们尤为头疼的一大问题，这也成了影响学生成绩的重要原因。而造成学生阅读理解困难的原因是多方面的，如词汇量少，背景知识的缺乏，没有必要的阅读技巧等。针对不同的原因，可以用不同的方法来训练和改进，例如，补充扩大学生的词汇量，使学生渐渐养成良好的阅读习惯和掌握良好的阅读技巧等，从而逐步提高学生的阅读理解能力。 [关键词]阅读兴趣；阅读习惯；阅读训练；阅读技巧 一、激发学生英语阅读兴趣，提高学生阅读的积极性 兴趣是最好的老师，这不仅是对中学生学习英语的一种鞭策，也是提高学生阅读理解能力的有效途径和前提。 在英语课堂教学中，教师与学生的关系应为：教师为主导，学生为主体，学生在教师的指导下积极主导地参与学习；而学习动机正是激发、维持和推动学生进行学习活动的内部动力。学生的一切学习活动都是由动机引起的，学生学习英语的行为也不例外。因此，调动内在的学习动机是提高自主阅读能力的重要保证。大量研究表明，从长期效果来看，内在动机比外来压力具有更大的影响力和持久力。在阅读教学中，教师要摒弃“满堂灌”和“填鸭式”的教学模式，想方设法激发学生的内在动力，从学生的学习兴趣、学习经验出发，贯彻体验、实践、参与、合作与交流的学习方式，努力唤醒学生的潜能，开启幽闭的心灵，放飞禁锢的情感，发挥学生的主体作用，增强学生对自我价值和能力的认识，使他们学有所乐、学有所成，实现最大限度的满足感，真正为学生个性和创造力的发展营造宽松、和谐的环境。 二、培养学生良好的阅读习惯 要提高阅读速度和理解的准确率，学生必须具有良好的阅读习惯。良好的阅读习惯主要有以下几个方面。 1、视读： 阅读是看的过程，因此，学生在阅读的过程中不应用手或笔尖指着文章逐字地读，也不应读出声音来或在心里默读，这些都会影响阅读的速度。
2020届中考英语阅读理解50篇(含答案)
2020届中考英语阅读理解50篇 (精品训练题值得练习) 1 When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon was expensive. One of my father’s friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul. Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie’s place. We’d sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）, and got ready for a big meal. Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we’d bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest. Bernie was my father’s idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie’s wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon. What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don’t take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life’s small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life. For many years, I forgot that lesson I’d learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could. Well, I’ve relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That’s the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw t he rest away. 1. We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling ______. A. relaxed B. worried C. hungry D. proud 2. How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon? A. They ate it in a polite way. B. They only ate its best part. C. They ate every part of it. D. They shared only one piece. 3. In the eyes of the writer’s father, Bernie ______. A. was just a rich businessman B. worked hard all the time

如何提高初中英语阅读理解能力
如何提高初中英语阅读理解能力 阅读理解在中考里占据很大的分值（30分），怎样做好这部分题对于很多学生都是一件头疼的事情。首先，在阅读过程中，应注意克服一些不良阅读习惯以促进阅读速度有效提高。常见的不良阅读习惯有：指读、声读和回视。 指读是指为了在阅读时能集中注意力，学生常常用手指、铅笔、尺子等指着一个个的字或放在这些字的下面阅读。指读减慢了阅读速度，分散读者的注意力，因此，阅读中一定要克服这个毛病。声读一般有三种形式：出声读、默读和心读。事实证明，阅读速度缓慢一般都是因为读者采用了某种声读的方式，所以要提高阅读速度就必须自觉地克服这种习惯。回视又叫返读。如果我们在阅读中多次返回重读，既会影响速度，也会影响理解。这些错误的阅读方法都会把阅读速度减慢，直接影响到我们的思路，因此应及时加以纠正。 兴趣是学习最好的老师，因此，在开始阅读时可以选一些自己感兴趣的、生词不多、篇幅不长的文章进行阅读。这方面文章在英语辅导报里就有一些趣味阅读值得推荐一下。一旦学生有了兴趣，对阅读题就不会有太多的恐惧感了。 在实际进行阅读中学生应加强掌握的几点基础： 一、词汇量 词汇量偏低会制约学生阅读速度。每年中考都会出现超出考纲的词汇，如果考生只满足于记住课本以内的词汇和用法，甚至连课本上的词汇都要大打折扣，怎么能适应中考阅读要求？因此，扩大常用词汇是做好英语阅读的必要手段。学生首先应该记住课本上的基本词汇。其次，通过补充大量英语课外读物，让学生在阅读中复习词汇、巩固词汇、增加词汇，并将补充词汇纳入考查范围之内。学生应适当学习一些基本的构词知识，这有助于学生快速、高效地积累词汇，同时也为猜测生词提供一定的参考依据，便于学生在阅读过程中遇到生词时能观其形，知其意。 二、知识面 中考试题中的阅读文章题材多样，涉及政治经济、社会文化、风俗习惯、历史、地理、科学技术等各个方面；体裁形式丰富，包括记叙文、说明文、议论文、应用文以及新闻报道、广告、通知、操作说明、表格等。这就需要考生在平时对各方面的知识都有所积累。所以增加一些题材广泛的泛读，扩大学生的知识面，让学生多掌握一些文化背景知识，了解当今英语国家历史文化、人物传记、科技教育等方面的社会知识对提高阅读速度是极其重要的，即便是增加非英语阅读也有助于英语阅读速度的提高。另外，还要鼓励学生多读英语报刊、杂志。 三、解题技巧 1.找主题句获取段落的主旨和大意 一篇文章通常都是围绕一个中心意思展开的，而这个中心意思往往由一个句子来概括。这个能概括文章或段落中心意思的句子叫做主题句。因此，理解一个段落或一篇文章的中心意思首先要学会寻找主题句。主题句一般具有三个特点：表述的意思比较概括，相对其主句来看，这种概括性更为明显；句子结构较简单，多数都不采用长、难句的形式；段落中其它的句子必定是用来解释、支撑或发展主题句所表述的主题思想。在一个段落中，大部分主题句的位置有两种：1）主题句在段首。主题句在段首的情况相当普遍。一般新闻报道、说明文、议论文大都采用先总述，后分述的叙事方法。
