（英语）初三英语阅读理解试题(有答案和解析)

一、阅读理解

1．阅读理解

"Without music, life would be a mistake, "famous German philosopher（哲学家）Friedrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some American schools have cut music classes to control budgets（预算）.

For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired over 1, 000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That's partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn't tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often. However, learning music is beneficial（有益的）in many ways.

When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth K. Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode（解码）them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.

Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music：Einstein played the violin and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano.

（1）Some schools in the US cut music classes, because ____.

A. they were too difficult to learn

B. students in the US weren't interested in music

C. the schools wanted to control budgets

D. there weren't enough music teachers in the US （2）In Paragraph 2, what does the underlined word "them" refer to（指代）?

A. Students in Chicago.

B. Public schools.

C. Parents in Chicago.

D. Fired teachers.（3）How many scientists who are good at playing music are mentioned in this passage? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.

（4）What's the writer's opinion according to this passage?

A. Music is as simple as it looks.

B. Music classes should be cut in some schools.

C. Music is a big part of our lives.

D. Music isn't a very important life skill for us.

【答案】（1）C

（2）D

（3）B

（4）C

【解析】【分析】本文介绍了很多地区削减了音乐课以控制预算，这是不合适的，因为音乐在许多方面都是有益的。

（1）细节题。根据some American schools have cut music classes to control budgets可知美国的一些学校停课，因为学校想控制预算，故选C。

（2）词义猜测题。根据Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired over 1, 000

teachers...10 percent of the teachers taught art or music 芝加哥公立学校解雇了1000多名教师……10%的教师教授艺术或音乐，可知them指代被解雇的教师，故选D。

（3）细节题。根据 Einstein played the violin and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano 爱因斯坦拉小提琴，德国物理学家马克斯·普朗克擅长弹钢琴可知文章提到了2名擅长演奏音乐的科学家，故选B。

2．阅读理解

What do you see when you look at abstract （抽象的）art? Can you understand it? Does it look like anything?

Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century. Artists did not want to paint, draw, or sculpt things exactly like they looked. They didn't want their art to be realistic（现实的）. They were more interested in basic shapes and colours.

Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists. He painted and drew in many, many styles. Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours （his "blue period"）. Later, he used more red and pink colours （his "rose period"）. Many of his other paintings are called "cubist （立体派的）" because they are made of painted squares.

After a long time, Picasso's paintings became more and more abstract. He painted people and things using strange shapes. His work was so strange that many of his workmates didn't understand it.

Kandinsky, another famous artist, used lines, shapes, and patterns to paint his subjects. His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings. Other artists like the surrealists （超现实主义画家），were interested in subconsciousness （潜意识）. Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbols in their work. The meaning or subject of their work wasn't always clear. Dali, another surrealist artist, painted pictures that looked like dreams.

There are still many abstract artists around the world. That's the way many artists prefer. They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it.

（1）Which would be most like abstract art?

A. A painting of a house.

B. A sculpture of a car.

C. A drawing of two people in a coffee house.

D. A red and blue painting, with no clear subject.

（2）What happened to Picasso's work after a long time?

A. It became more abstract.

B. It became less strange.

C. He went from using red colours to using blue colours.

D. He only painted with coloured squares.

（3）How did Kandinsky express feelings?

A. By using strong colours.

B. By painting realistic people.

C. By painting with a lot of symbols.

D. By painting in red and pink colours.

（4）Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Picasso painted in many different styles.

B. Dali was interested in dreams.

C. Abstract artists feel each work of art only has one meaning.

D. Magritte's art was full of symbols.

【答案】（1）D

（2）A

（3）A

（4）C

【解析】【分析】本文介绍了抽象派艺术及其代表人物毕加索。

（1）推理题。根据毕加索是抽象艺术的代表人物Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours （his "blue period"）. Later, he used more red and pink colours有时他使用很多蓝色，后来，他使用了更多的红色和粉色，可知一幅红色和蓝色的画，没有清晰的主题最像抽象艺术，故选D。

（2）细节题。根据After a long time, Picasso's paintings became more and more abstract可知很久以后毕加索的作品变得更加抽象，故选A。

（3）细节题。根据His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings可知康定斯通过使用强烈的颜色基表达感情的，故选A。

（4）细节题。根据The meaning or subject of their work wasn't always clear. Dali, another surrealist artist, painted pictures that looked like dreams.他们工作的意义或主题并不总是清楚的。另一位超现实主义艺术家达利画的画看起来像梦可知抽象艺术家觉得每件艺术品只有一种意义是错误的，故选C。

3．阅读与回答问题。

CCTV reported that every year Chinese people throw away a lot of food which can feed 200 million people for a year.

Do we have too much food? Of course not. According to the UN World Food Programme, there were 900million hungry people all over the world in 2013. About six million children die of hunger every year.

So think about it. We should say no to people who waste food every day. An old saying goes, “Every grain on the plate comes from hard work.” It tells us everybody must save food.

Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Jiangsu, once lost her job because she took some leftover（剩余的） food home

for her son. But many people were by her side and criticized （批评） the waste of food.

What should we do in our daily life to stop wasting food? We can do many things to prevent it from happening. Here are some tips:

Don't order too much food in a restaurant. Only order as much as you can eat. If you can't eat all the food you order, take the rest of it home.

Don't be too picky（挑剔的） about food. Some food may not be tasty, but put body need it. Don't keep too much food at home, especially for fruit and vegetables.

（2）Why did Li Hong lose her job?

（3）What should you do if you can’t eat all the food you ask for?

（4）Can you keep too much food at home?

（5）What's the main idea of the passage?

（3）I/We can take the rest of it home.

（4）No, I/We can't.

（5）The reasons we can't waste food and the ways to stop wasting food.

【解析】【分析】据联合会世界粮食计划署的报告，2013年世界上仍然有9亿人在挨饿。因此我们不要再浪费粮食了。文中给了一些关于节约粮食的建议。

⑴细节理解。根据第二段第二句there were 900million hungry people all over the world in 2013.可知答案是About 900 million

⑵细节理解。根据第三段第二句Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Jiangsu, once lost her job because she took some leftover（剩余的）food home for her son. 可知答案是Because she

took some leftover food home for her son.

⑶细节理解。根据第第六段If you can’t eat all the food you order, take the rest of it home.所以答案是：I/We can take the rest of it home.

⑷细节理解。根据最后一段Don’t keep too much food at home, especially for fruit and vegetables. 可知回答应该是：No, I/We can't.

⑸主旨大意。本文讲述了世界上有很多人在挨饿，我们不要浪费粮食以及节约粮食的具体做法。故答案是：The reasons we can't waste food and the ways to stop wasting food.

4．阅读理解

Everybody hates rats. But rats may soon be man's new good friends. What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can't get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.

How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat's brain gives a signal. This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat's brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.

Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Robots' noses don't work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that. Rats can also see in the dark, they are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don't need electricity!

The "rat project" is not finished. But a scientist says, "It would be great. A rat could get into any place we couldn't get to, and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe." Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building （but only after an earthquake, of course）.

（1）Where do you think you can find this passage?

A. In a magazine about toys.

B. In a history book.

C. In a newspaper about science.

D. In an advertisement.

（2）Which of the following is NOT TRUE?

A. Rats don't need electricity.

B. Rats are better than robots when smelling.

C. Rats are as clever as radios.

D. Rats can see things in the dark when doing rescues.（3）Why does the "rat project" sound great according to the passage?

A. Because rats can get into very small spaces.

B. Because rats have better noses than dogs.

C. Because rats don't like robots.

D. Because rats are brave.

（4）Which is the best title of this passage?

A. Ways of saving people

B. Rats

C. Earthquakes

D. Rats for rescue

【答案】（1）C

（2）C

（3）A

（4）D

【解析】【分析】主要讲了老鼠是怎样营救人的。

（1）推断题。根据全文可知主要讲了老鼠救人，所以可以在关于科学的报纸上发现，故

It is a cold and dry winter morning. When you wake up, you feel that your throat hurts. You begin to sneeze and later you may cough. You must have a cold！Wait a moment. Could it just be a common cold or the flu（流感）that's been going around？

A cold gives you a runny nose and cough. But it's usually easy to deal with. Some people take medicine while others drink herbal tea or chicken soup. Usually you feel better after a week.

On the other hand, the flu can be much more dangerous. It usually gives you fever. Sometimes it can cause death. According to an American magazine, the worst flu killed about 50 million people from 1918 to 1919.

Don't worry. If you get a flu vaccine（疫苗）, it can stop you from getting the virus（病毒）.Flu vaccines work by giving the body a small number of flu viruses. This causes your body to develop antibodies（抗体）. So next time you get the flu, the antibodies will help you.

The flu virus changes every few years. Therefore, there are so many types of flu, such as HlN1 and H5N1.The antibodies for one type of flu can't help us against all types of flu. That's why we need to get the vaccine every year.

How do you get to school every day? By bus or car? Song Kexin, a 14-year-old schoolgirl in Xiamen, prefers to go to school on her bike. "It's the quickest and easiest way to get to school," she said. "When there's a traffic jam, I feel the freedom while passing so many car lines."

China was once known as the kingdom of bicycles. But these years, the popularity of bicycles in Europe is rising. Last year, more bicycles were sold than cars in Europe, according to the BBC.

Cycling is a safe, clean and cheap way to get around the city. It makes both traffic jams and pollution less, and is great for our health.

Of course, Rome wasn't built in a day. The popularity of cycling in many European countries is greatly because of bike-friendly policies.

As the traditional "cycling capital" in Northern Europe, Copenhagen's roads keep bicycles and motor cars separated（分离）as much as possible. On these roads, there are pre-green lights for cyclists. These kinds of bicycle traffic lights turn green a few seconds before car traffic lights do. They give the cyclists time to avoid traffic while they are crossing.

In Amsterdam, people can hire a bike from almost anywhere in the city. You can start from three hours and the average price for a full day is 8 euros （66.8 yuan）.

This year, in Ruian, there are also similar policies to hire public bikes. It's only 20 yuan for a full day. Do you see them around the city? It's important to be safe when you are cycling. If you remember the following ideas, you will be safer.

■Although you may think a helmet（头盔）is not cool, it can protect your head if you fall down. Just choose the one that fits you best.

■Stop at all stop signs and obey red lights just as cars do. It's a good idea to walk your bike across busy crossings by following traffic lights.

■If you are cycling with friends, ride in a line. Don't ride with each other side by side.

■Wearing headphones while you are biking is not a good idea. You need to hear what's going on around you.

Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mother was one of those people.

My father died when I was one year-old. While I was growing up, we led a very hard life, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Bach night, she seated me on her lap and, spoke the words that would change my life," Kemmons, you are sure to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it."

At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said that I would never walk again. Every might my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me whatever those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I walked on my own to school!

When the Great Depression broke out, my mother lost her job. Then I left school to support the two of us. At that moment I decided never to be poor again.

Over the years, I experienced a lot of business success. But the real turning point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was very angry, that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for an ordinary American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel （汽车旅馆） for families that would never charge extra money for children. Many people did

not believe me at that time.

Not surprisingly, mom was my strongest supporter. As in any business, I experienced a lot of difficulties. But with my mom's words in my heart, I never doubted I would succeed. Fifteen years later, I had the largest hotel system in the world- Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $I billion a year.

What can we learn from the special, very successful people in the world who make the impossible possible?

Lesson 1: Ways of creative thinking are needed

Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg both dropped out of college. They prefer to teach themselves because they like to develop their own ways of thinking. They think standard ways of teaching might stop people from being creative and having new ideas.

Lesson 2: The answer might not be what you expect

Find your answers from facts-not start with an expectation of what you will find. Stephen Jacobsen believed what he was taught: that water on Earth came from icy comets（封星） or planets which hit into Earth.

However, by studying a special rock, he discovered that it acted like a sponge（海绵）. This suggested that Earth's water might have come from inside, driven to the surface to form the oceans, by geological activity.

"I had a pretty hard time making others believe it, "he said. "But thinking about the fact that you may be the first person to see something for the first time doesn't happen very often. When it does, it's amazing."

Lesson 3: A little luck goes a long way

Years of planning went into a recent achievement in space travel. The European Space Agency's "Philae", a robot landing craft, met up with Comet 67P, which was 480 million kilometres away. The trip from Earth by "Philae" had taken ten years!

The scientists had no idea what the surface of the comet would be like. If the landing failed, it would be impossible to get information from the spacecraft. Twenty years of work would have been wasted.

When "Philae" tried to land, it bounced（弹起）away from the comet's icy surface twice. Luckily, however, "Philae" landed successfully and began sending information back to Earth. （1）Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg left college because____________.

A. they preferred to learn by themselves

B. they needed standard ways of teaching

C. their teachers didn't like their new ideas

D. their teachers weren't able to teach them （2）In Lesson 2, the writer mainly wants to tell us that___________.

A. we should get answers from facts

B. we can believe what we are taught

C. it's hard to make others believe something
