一、初三英语阅读理解(含答案详细解析) 1.根据短文内容选择正确答案。
D
If you could see a movie of your life before you lived it, would you want to live it? Probably not. The excitement of living is that you don’t know what’s coming.
Sure, it’s hard to see uncertainty in such positive(积极的)light when you’re out of work, or when you feel like you’re failing. But uncertainty is really another word for chance.
When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chan ces all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do. She took a job in consulting(咨询), but she knew she wouldn’t stay there. She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income(收入)by teaching students. Still, she didn’t think she wanted to go to graduate school. Allison knew she wasn’t doing what she wanted, but she didn’t know what she wanted.
She worried. All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses. She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out. After six years, Allison, by having a general(全面的)plan in mind, got married, moved to the Midwest, and used her consulting experience to get a great job. Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way: time well spent, and time we must all take if we’re being honest with ourselves.
The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty and make a choice. Otherwise your life is not your own—it is a path someone else has chosen. Moments of uncertainty are when you create your life, when you become who you are. Uncertainty usually begins with a job hunt, but it doesn’t end there. Every new role we take on means another round of uncertainty. Instead of fearing it, you should find some ways to deal with uncertainty. (1)From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that .
A. being out of work is a sad thing B. uncertainty is what makes life interesting C. life in a film is more exciting than real life. D. chance never appears when we need it (2)What troubles Allison after graduation?
A. She couldn’t find a well-paid job. B. She had no money to start a business. C. She was not sure what to do.
D. She didn’t score high enough for graduate school.
(3)How did Allison feel about her six years’ working experience?
A. Uncertain. B. Amazed . C. Sorry. D. Satisfied. (4)What may be discussed in the following paragraph?
A. How to deal with uncertainty. B. What role uncertainty plays in life.
C. Why people fear uncertainty. D. Whom to go to when facing uncertainty. 【答案】 (1)B (2)C (3)D (4)A

For more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming to an empty house. Some deal with the situation by watching TV. Some may hide. But all of them have something in common. They spend part of each day alone. They are called \"latchkey children\". They're children who look after themselves while their parents are working. And their bad condition has become a subject of concern.
Lynette Long was once the headmistress of an elementary school. She said, \"We had a school rule
against wearing jewellery. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys fastened. I was constantly telling them to put them inside their shirts. There were so many keys. It never came to my mind what they meant,\" Slowly, she learned they were house keys.
She and her husband began talking to the children who had them. They learned of the impact(影响) working couples and single parents were having on their children. Fear is the biggest problem faced by children at home alone. One in each three latchkey children the Longs talked to reported being scared. Many had nightmares and were worried about their own safety. The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. It might be in a shower stall, under a bed, or in a closet. The second is TV. They'll often play it at high volume. It's hard to get statistics(统计数据) on latchkey children, the Longs learned. Most parents are slow to admit they leave their children alone.

A few days ago, I ran into a stranger as he passed by. I said sorry to him. And we were very polite. Then we went on our way after saying goodbye.
Later in the kitchen at home, as I cooked our meal, my daughter Betty walked up to me. When I turned around, I nearly knocked her down. \"Get out of the way!\" I shouted angrily. She ran away, crying.
That night, when I lay in bed, my husband said to me, \"You were so rude to Betty. Go and look around on the kitchen floor, and you'll find some flowers there. Betty brought those for you. She picked them herself—pink, yellow, and your favorite blue.\"
When I heard this, I thought deeply, \"While meeting with a stranger, I was calm and polite, but with my daughter, I was not patient.\" I felt sad and tears began to fall.
I quietly went to Betty's bed, \"Wake up, my dear!\" I said. \"Are these the flowers you picked for me?\" She smiled, \"I found them by the tree. I know you like them, especially the blue ones.\" I said, \"I am so sorry that I treated you that way today.\" And she whispered (悄声说), \"Mommy, that's okay. I still love you anyway.\" I kissed her and said, \"I love you, too and 1 do love the flowers.\"

8.阅读理解
In Britain. Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th, which is the following day after Christmas Day. However, strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it's a non-working day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.
The exact origin(起源)of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by a priest(神父)on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed up and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the priest in exchange for the saying of a mass of thanks for the success of the sailing. The priest wouldn't open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas.
One more thought is about the \"Alms Box\" placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers(做礼拜的人) put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas. That is why that day became known as Boxing Day.
Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating(捐赠) their time, services and money to aid Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need. Besides, spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.
(1)If Christmas Day is on a Saturday, Boxing Day will be celebrated on____________. A. December 25th B. December 26th C. December 27th D. December 28th (2)Sailors dropped money into the Christmas Box in order to____________. A. save the poor B. pay for the priest C. discover new land D. pray for sailing safety (3)What does the underlined phrase“sealed up\" mean in Chinese?
A. 密封 B. 悬挂 C. 归还 D. 传递 (4)The purpose of the passage is____________.
A. to praise the kindness of priests B. to introduce the origins of Boxing Day C. to call on people to help the poor D. to compare Boxing Day with Christmas Day 【答案】 (1)C (2)D (3)A (4)B
【解析】【分析】文章大意:在英国。节礼日通常在12月26日举行,这是圣诞节后的第二天。但是,严格来说,节礼日是圣诞节后的第一个工作日。像圣诞节一样,节礼日也是一个公共假日。这意味着这是整个英国的非工作日。当节礼日是星期六或星期日时,下一个星期一是公共假日。
(1)细节理解题,根据When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.可知,如果圣诞节在星期六,节礼日就在星期一,也就是十二月二十七日,故答案是C。
(2)细节理解题,根据Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box.可知水手往节礼箱里方硬币是为了祈求航行安全,故答案是D。
(3)词义猜测题,根据The priest wouldn't open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas.可知回来之后让神父打开箱子,可知之前箱子被密封了,故答案是A。 (4)主旨大意题,根据文章介绍了节礼日的起源,故答案是B。
【点评】考查阅读理解。本文涉及细节理解题、词义猜测题和主旨大意题。细节理解题要可以直接从文中寻找答案;词义猜测题,需要根据单词所在的语境,进行合理想象,确定单词的意思;主旨题需要通读全文,了解大意之后找出中心思想。

Technology is everywhere. We see it any place we go and, in fact, almost all of us carry some piece of technology with us every time we leave the house. What I always forget, though, is just how useful and powerful technology can be when we want to help others.
There is not a single room in my house that does not have some electronic devices (设备)lying around in it. Whenever I am at home, I am almost always using at least one electronic device. If you walked into my living room on any given day, you would find that, first, I have the television on. At the same time, I usually have my laptop resting on my knee, or I will be using my mobile phone. Even when I'm not at home I am always using my phone, and at work or in cafés, I sit down and connect to the local wireless network on my laptop.
I must say that I waste a lot of time on the computer and the time I spend on it could be much better spent if I were to take up a little online volunteering.
The technology we carry about everywhere can have a great power to do good for the world and to help others and recently I discovered just how much online volunteering there is to do in the world. From using your language skills to do translations, to developing and managing projects and helping with IT work, there is so much that so many people can do to help people in their own countries and across the world. The United Nations, in fact, has a huge page with \"Volunteers Recruited\" on its website.
This work can support the poor and help charities who cannot pay for staff members. Many organizations only require you to work an hour a week﹣some even less. And the support provided by online volunteers can really help make a difference to those in need. (1)From Paragraph 2, we can know that the writer . A. is a computer engineer B. works in a café C. uses technology a lot D. likes modern music
(2)The underlined word\" Recruited\" in Paragraph 4 means\" \".
A. Ordered B. Visited C. Wanted D. Warned (3)In the writer's opinion, people should spend more time with technology. A. working on computer programs B. keeping the Internet safe
C. inventing electronic products D. helping people in need
(4)What can be the best title for the passage? A. Online Volunteering B. Internet Organizations C. Website Design D. Online Translation 【答案】 (1)C (2)C (3)D (4)A
【解析】【分析】本文介绍了科学技术已经渗透进了我们的生活,我们每天都在使用这些科技带来的方便中。但作者认为我们应该利用这些先进的技术去帮助别人,这样才能体现出这些科技的力量。
(1)推理题。根据There is not a single room in my house that does not have some electronic devices(设备) lying around in it.的意思可知,在作者的家里,没有一个房间里是没有电子设备的,也就是说作者使用非常多的电子设备,下面的文字作者举例来说明,如television, laptop, mobile phone等,故选C。
(2)词义猜测题。根据该段中I discovered just how much online volunteering there is to do in the world.可知,作者发现在网上有很多在线志愿活动,而这句话说的就是联合国在网上招募志愿者的一个网站,由此我们可以知道划线这个单词应该是“招聘”的意思,与wanted同义,故选C。
(3)推理题。根据I must say that I waste a lot of time on the computer and the time I spend on it could be much better spent if I were to take up a little online volunteering以及下一段的开头The technology we carry about everywhere can have a great power to do good for the world and to help others可知,作者觉得自己浪费了很多时间在电脑上,这些时间他可以更好的利用起来去从事一些网上的志愿者工作。由此我们可以知道,作者认为人们应该花费一点时间去帮助别人,故选D。
(4)主旨题。这篇短文开头部分作者讲述了我们周围无处不在使用着科学技术,短文的第一段中What I always forget, though, is just how useful and powerful technology can be when we want to help others点明文章的主题,从短文的第三段开始,作者对文章主题进行展开论述,即我们应该利用这些技术去做一些在线的志愿者活动,去帮助别人,所以C选项Online volunteering在线志愿者活动这个题目能点明文章的主题,故选C。A选项Website Design网站设计;B选项Internet Organization在线组织;D选项Online Translation在线翻译,这几个选项都不符合文意,故选A。
【点评】考查阅读理解。本文涉及推断题,词义猜测题和主旨题四种常考题型,推断题需要联系上下文,推断出需要的信息,词义猜测题需要根据上下文提炼相关信息锁定词意,主旨题需要通读全文,了解大意之后找出中心思想。

When my brother and I were children, we spent a few weeks each summer in the countryside with our uncle. He was a geologist and loved to go on long walks to find stones to add to his collection at the university. More often than not, we followed him.
One day, we left early and this time, our uncle gave us two backpacks. \"You can help me carry the samples(样本),\" he explained.
Sure, why not? The whole day, we walked around the countryside, and every now and then, our uncle put stones in our bags. We were a bit surprised that sometimes he also took some stones out from our bags, but thought he had just found better samples.
We reached the house in the late afternoon. The backpacks were so heavy that we were really tired out when we put them on the ground. Yet our uncle's backpack was half-empty.
\"Why did you give us so many stones?\" we asked. \"I didn't. You did, \"he said, waiting for a while before continuing.\" You did not know it, but I made you go through a little attitude(态度) test today.\"
\"What do you mean an attitude test?\" we wanted to know.
\"It is something someone once did to me. You see, I listened to every word you said. And whenever you complained(抱怨) about anyone or anything, I added a stone to your bags. And whenever you talked about something in an attitude of positive thinking, I took out a stone. And now look at your backpacks.\" We did. They were full. \"I hope you remember this little attitude test. You see, your negative(负面的) thoughts are like stones. You carry them in your mind just like those stones in a backpack. The more negative thoughts you have, the heavier your mind is. So look at those bags and start paying attention to what you say and how you say things.\" This little lesson was one of the most important I ever had.

When you enter my home for the first time, you will always be impressed with a small and white envelope(信封). No name, no address. It has hung on our Christmas tree for about 10 years.
It all began because my husband Mike hated Christmas. He didn't hate the true meaning of Christmas, but the commercial(商业的) way of it, spending too much on the usual Christmas gifts, such as rushing into a store to buy a tie for Uncle Harry.
Knowing he felt this way, I decided not to buy the usual gifts, such as shirts and sweaters. I reached for something special for Mike. The idea came in an unusual way.
Our son Kevin, 12, was wrestling(摔跤) at the school. Before Christmas there was a match against a team helped by a city church, mostly poor kids. As the match began, I was surprised to see the other team wrestling only wearing the old clothes because they couldn't afford the wrestling uniforms, while our boys in their blue and gold uniforms. Of course, we ended up with beating them.
Mike, seated beside me, shook his head sadly,\" I wish just one of them could have won. In fact, they could if they had worn the uniforms. They have talent for wrestling, but losing like this could take the heart right out of them.\"
Mike loved kids-all kids and he knew them, having trained kids football and baseball. At that time, I thought of the idea for the gift.
That afternoon, I went to a store and bought some wrestling uniforms and sent them to the city church for the kids without leaving my name.
On Christmas Eve, I put the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Mike what I had done and telling him that this was his gift from me. His smile was the greatest thing about Christmas that year and the next years.
You see, we lost Mike now. But every Christmas Eve I would put an envelope on the tree, and in the morning, three more joined it. Each of our children had secretly put an envelope on the tree for their dad.
