初中英语阅读题练习(附答案解析)

英语阅读理解24篇做阅读理解的五点注意注意一：试题各小题所提供的四个备选项，有的是语法、结构上有错误，有的是与短文意思不相符。解题时要把有结构、语法错误的先排除，再考虑是否符合短文内容。注意二：对短文中的生词或看不懂的句子，应大胆根据构词法及上、下文意思进行猜测，尤其对涉及文中某个词或某个句子含义的选择试题，要根据文章所阐述的主要内容及上、下文内在逻辑关系，大胆分析推断，去伪存真选出正确答案。注意三：对于涉及文章主旨、大意、作者意图及短文标题等选择试题，虽然短文中没有直接说明，可统观全文，通过短文所提供的材料或联想短文材料以外的常识，如结合已学过的自然、社会科学知识加以综合理解、分析推测或按作者的思路进行推理，从而且推断出正确答案。注意四：做选择试题时一般先做在文中能直接找到依据的细节题，后做主旨题、推理题。这样在对语篇有更多领悟的基础上再进行推理判断和概括总结，把握性就更大。注意五：阅读的顺序一般是先读短文，再看题目，然后逐题作答。若文章较长，也可以先将测试题目通览一遍，然后带着问题阅读文章。这样对与答题有关的段落、句子反应敏感，而对其他与答题无关的部分可以不必花费太多时间，阅读速度就可加快些。1.“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！WhenmyfamilymovedtoAmericain2010fromasmallvillageinGuangdong,China,webroughtnotonlyourluggage,butalsoourvillagerules,customsandculture.Oneoftherulesisthatyoungpeopleshouldalwaysrespect(尊敬)elders.Unluckily,thisruleledtomyveryfirstembarrassmentintheUnitedStates.Ihadapart-timejobasawaiterinaChineserestaurant.Onetime,whenIwasservingfoodtoamiddle-agedcouple,thewifeaskedmehowthefoodcouldbeservedsoquickly.ItoldherthatIhadmadesuretheygottheirfoodquicklybecauseIalwaysrespecttheelderly.AssoonasIsaidthat,herfaceshowedgreatdispleasure.Mymanager,whohappenedtohearwhatIsaid,tookmeasideandgavemealonglectureabouthowsensitive(敏感)Americansareandhowtheydislikethedescription“old”.Ithenwalkedbacktothetableandapologizedtothewife.Afterthecoupleheardmyreason,theyunderstoodthattheproblemwascausedbyculturaldifferences,sotheylaughedandwerenolongerangry.InmyvillageinChina,peopleareproudofbeingold.Notsomanypeoplelivetobeseventyoreighty,andpeoplewhoreachsuchanagehavethemostknowledgeandexperience.Youngpeoplealwaysrespectolderpeoplebecausetheyknowtheycanlearnfromtheirrichexperience.However,intheUnitedStates,peoplethink“growingold”isaproblemsince“old”showsthatapersonisgoingtoretireorthatthebodyisnotworkingwell.Heremanypeopletrytokeepthemselvesawayfromgrowingoldbydoingexercisesorjogging,andwomenputonmakeup,hopingtolookyoung.WhenItoldthecoupleintherestaurantthatIrespecttheelderly,theygotangrybecausethiscausedthemtofeeltheyhadfailedtostayyoung.Ihadtoldthemsomethingtheydidn’twanttohear.Afterthat,IchangedthewayIhadbeenwitholderpeople.ItisnotthatIdon’trespectthemanymore;Istillrespectthem,butnowIdon’tshowmyfeelingsthroughwords.ByJack根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。1.Jackbroughtthecoupletheirfoodveryfastbecause_______.A.themanageraskedhimtodosoB.herespectedtheelderlyC.thecouplewantedhimtodosoD.hewantedmorepay2.WhenJackcalledthecouple“elderly”,theybecame_______.A.nervous B.satisfiedC.unhappyD.excited3.InJack’shometown,_______.A.peopledislikebeingcalled“old”B.peopleareproudofbeingoldC.manypeoplereachtheageofseventyoreightyD.theelderlyarethefirsttogetfoodinrestaurants4.Afterthisexperience,Jack_______.A.losthisjobintherestaurantB.madefriendswiththecoupleC.nolongerrespectedtheelderlyD.changedhiswaywitholderpeople5.WhichofthefollowingisTRUE?A.ThemoreJackexplained,theangrierthecouplegot.B.Jackwantedtoshowhisfeelingsthroughwordsafterhisexperience.C.Themanagerwentbacktothetableandapologizedtothecouple.D.Fromthisexperience,JacklearnedmoreaboutAmericanculture.2.Jean的网友QQ聊天对我们来说并不陌生，但是该不该完全相信网友呢？我们究竟该以怎样的心态对待网络呢？让我们来看看本文主人公与网友的奇遇吧！Jeanisabrightyoungwomanwhocomesfromarichandfamousfamily.Shegoestoagooduniversityandhaseverythingthatmoneycanbuy.Well,almosteverything.TheproblemisthatthepeopleinJean’sfamilyaresobusythattheycanhardlyfindtimetobewithher.Infact,Jeanisquitelonely.SoJeanspendsalotoftimeonherQQ.Shelikesbeinganonymous(匿名),talkingtopeoplewhodonotknowaboutherfamousfamilyandherrichlife.SheusesthenameLindaonQQandhasmadealotoffriendswhoshekeepsintouchwithquiteoften.LastyearJeanmadeaveryspecialfriendonQQ.HisnamewasDavidandlivedinSanFrancisco.Davidwasfullofstoriesandjokes.HeandJeanhadacommon(共同的)interestinrockmusicandmoderndance.SoitalwaystookthemhourstotalkhappilyonQQandsometimestheyevenforgottheirtime.Ofcourse,theywantedtoknowmoreabouteachother.Davidsentapictureofhimself:Hewasatall,good-lookingyoungmanwithabig,happysmile.Astimewentby,theybecamegoodfriendsandoftensentcardsandsmallthingstoeachother.WhenJean’sfathertoldherthathewasgoingonabusinesstriptoSanFrancisco,sheaskedhimtolethergowithhimsothatshecouldgiveDavidasurpriseforhisbirthday.ShewouldtakehimthelatestDVDoftheirfavoriterocksinger.ButwhensheknockedonDavid’sdoorinSanFrancisco,shefoundthatherspecialfriendwasatwelve-year-oldboynamedJim!根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。1.JeanspendsalotofhertimeonQQbecausesheis_______.A.richB.famousC.youngD.lonely2.Jeanthought“David”wasspecialbecausehe_______.\nA.madeherquitehappyonQQ      B.wasfromSanFranciscoC.sentherapictureofhimself       D.wastallandgood-looking3.WhenJeanand“David”metandintroducedthemselvestoeachother,whofeltsurprised?A.“David”.   B.Both“David”andJean.C.Jean.    D.Neither“David”norJean.4.What’sthemainideaofthepassage?A.Don’tbelievethoseyougettoknowonQQsoeasily.B.Peopledon’tusetheirrealnamesonQQsooften.C.Don’tgotomeetthoseyougettoknowonQQ.D.PeopleshouldtelltheirrealnamestoothersonQQ.3一辈子的朋友朋友与你相互嬉闹，朋友与你互掏腰包；朋友与你互相惦记，朋友与你心有灵犀；朋友与你有苦共担，朋友与有乐同欢……请读读这篇真挚的友情故事。LindaEvanswasmybestfriend—likethesisterIne
