初中英语阅读理解试题
下面是小编给大家总结的试题，主要是阅读理解，后面附有答案，当然更多英语试题可以参考英语网&.
一、阅读理解(共13小题;每小题2分，满分26分)
　　阅读下面短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
　　I still remember the last time when two of my children and I went
to the playground. It had rained during the night and the
playground was very muddy (泥泞的). They had just put on clean
clothes, so I was a little worried about the pools of water on the
playground. It was not long before Kathy got her beautiful skirt
dirty on the playground. She dug through the rocks. I was about to
blame her for getting her clothes dirty when she ran towards me
with a smile on her face. When she got to me, she handed me a
little heart-shaped rock and said, “Here Mom! Here is a heart for
you-just because I love you! Keep it!” with tears in my eyes, I
thanked her.
　　Should I blame her for getting her clothes muddy? No way! I still
have that little heart-shaped rock. It is one of the best gifts
that I have ever received. I realize that many times it is not
necessary for us adults to worry about the small things our
children do. Let them do what they’d like to.
　　I will spend a lot more time on the playground with my children.
I’m sure I will learn a lot from the children. It reminds me of
some years ago when my grandfather told me, “You would not enter
the kingdom (王国) of happiness until you pretended (假装) to be a
small child.”
　　21. The writer was deeply moved by her daughter’s
____________.
　　A. digging task on the playground B. love of the muddy
playground
　　C. special way to show her love D. smile on her face when
　　22. From Paragraph 2, we can learn that the writer thought
parents should _________.
　　A. allow kids to do whatever they like
　　B. keep the presents given by children
　　C. not give too much care to their own children
　　D. not worry about the small things their children do
　　23. In the last paragraph, Grandpa’s words imply (暗示) that
_____________.
　　A. children may find happiness easily in life
　　B. children care more about happiness than adults do
　　C. adults cannot share children’s happiness
　　D. adults should pretend to be a child
　　Nobody is happy all the time, but some people are really happier
than others. Here are some tips for you to be happy.
　　Make enough money to meet your basic needs: food, shelter, and
clothing. In the US, that magic number is $40,000 a year. Any money
you make beyond that will not necessarily make you happier. Once
you make enough money to support your basic needs, your happiness
is not affected by how much money you make.
　　______________________________ Or move to where other members
are-so you can see them more. Now, people follow jobs around the
country and sometimes around the world. As a result, our
relationships with our friends and family have a far greater impact
(影响) on our happiness than our jobs do. So next time you think
about moving, consider a place where most of your friends and
families live.
　　Find happiness in the job you have now. Many people expect (期待)
the right job to change their level of happiness. But happiness
research makes it clear that changing jobs can’t bring you
happiness. If you want, you will make the best of any job. If you
have good relationships with people, you won’t depend on (依赖) your
job to give your life a greater sense of meaning. You will find it
in your interactions with the people you care about.
　　If you are unhappy for a long time, you should ask an expert (专家)
or a doctor for help. I hope you will be happy all the
　　24. The writer wrote this passage mainly to
_____________.
　　A. make friends B. give suggestions
　　C. put on an advertisement D. complain about your
　　25. The underlined word “interactions” means
____________.
　　A. arrangement B. choice C. communication D. agreement
　　26. What is the title for the third paragraph?
　　A. Ask family members for help. B. Borrow money from family
　　C. How to make family members be happy. D. Stay close to friends
and family.
　　A study finds that not enough morning light causes teenagers not
to get enough sleep at night. “As teenagers spend more time
indoors, they miss necessary morning light. Day light is needed to
keep the balance of the body’s 24-hour biological system (生物系统),
which regulates (调节) body temperature and sleep styles,” reports
Dr. Mariana Figueiro. “These teenagers who receive little morning
light are going to bed later, getting less sleep and doing badly in
tests. They are more likely to fail in their exams.”
　　In the study, Dr. Figueiro asked 11 students in Grade 8 to wear
special glasses to prevent blue morning light from reaching their
eyes. At the end of the 5-day study she found that they fell asleep
30 minutes later than usual.
　　Throughout her research, Dr. Figueiro has been very worried about
teenagers going to bed too late. The problem is that today’s
schools require teenagers to be in school very early in the
morning. These students are likely to miss the morning light
because they often go to school before the sun is up or as it’s
just rising.
　　Furthermore (此外), the schools are not likely to provide enough
electric light to keep the balance of this biological system. Our
biological system is much more sensitive (敏感的) to blue light.
Therefore, having lots of light in the classroom does not make sure
that there is enough light to keep our biological system
　　27. Which of the following is the result of the study?
　　A. Blue light in the morning harms the biological
　　B. Not enough morning light keeps teenagers sleep
　　C. Not getting more light in the morning make teenagers
　　D. Not enough sleep makes teenagers fail in tests.
　　28. We know from the passage that morning light
__________.
　　A. has the same effects as afternoon light B. may change studying
habits of teenagers
　　C. is important to children’s biological system D. has no effect
on students’ tests
　　29. What’s the problem of the students according to the
　　A. There are not enough electric lights in the
classroom.
　　B. Being in school early affects their study habits.
　　C. They have to go to bed very early to have enough
　　D. They go to school too early to get enough morning
　　The traditional school exercise book and pen could become
history. Every pupil at Writhlinton School is being offered their
own laptop (笔记本电脑) to use in class and for homework.
　　Buildings with wireless (无线的) systems will open soon. The laptop
project will cost the school about &400,000. Parents are being
asked to pay &2 per week for their children’s laptop as long as the
child stays at the school. Those unable to pay will receive
economic aid (经济援助).
　　The headmaster, Will Roberts, says parents think it is a “bargain
(划算的买卖)” because it’s expensive to buy a laptop.
　　“With the help of the laptop, any time they want to learn, they
can. Pupils, who are aged between 11 and 18, can complete homework
by connecting to the school servers (服务器) from home. And their work
can be marked at once and teachers share pupils’ work away from the
classroom.”
　　Mr. Roberts insists, however, that children will continue to use
traditional learning materials. “There will always be a place for
traditional writing and textbooks here,” he says. “But we want to
prepare our pupils for the real world.”
　　The project was started with the help of the government-supported
charity, the e-Learning Foundation (学习平台基金会). It is trying to make
information technology (技术) more widely used in schools.
　　Spokesman, Kevin Pay, says using computers improves pupil’s work
speed-“after all, there is no excuse for not having
homework”.
　　30. For what purpose is the school giving each pupil a
　　A. To prepare its pupils well for society (社会).
　　B. To attract more pupils to study there.
　　C. To draw the attention of the public and charities.
　　D. To reduce the stress of teachers and pupils.
　　31. From the passage, what do we know about the
　　A. It will begin in several months. B. It is not good for poor
　　C. It is based on some researches. D. It received support from
the government.
　　32. All the following statements are true EXCEPT
_____________.
　　A. computers can greatly improve pupils’ studies
　　B. the traditional book and pen will disappear from
　　C. pupils unable to pay for the laptop can have the laptop
　　D. computers make it easier for teachers to contact
　　33. What is the parents’ attitude (态度) towards the
　　A. They are against it. B. The don’t care about it.
　　C. They like it very much. D. They are worried about

One night, I wondered what it would be like if I only asked questions. I decided that no matter what anyone said to me the next day, I would reply only with &&36&.

Every month, junior high schools in China choose one
hero of the month. This person is a hero because he or she has done something
to help protect animals in danger. Huang Jing decided to write a letter to the
President of China.
Dear Mr. President,
I have been doing a project at school recently about
animals in danger. I think the situation all over the world is really
terrible. I am writing to you to suggest what China should do to help protect
animals more.
I know that there are nearly 2,000 nature reserves
in China, which is good. I live in Beijing and there are about 30 reserves
outside the city. We visited one of them last month to see for ourselves.
I feel so sorry for the giant panda. It’s one of the most popular animals in the world and a
real symbol of China. We learned that pandas mainly live on bamboo, and that
a panda can eat half its body weight of bamboo in 24 hours! That’s a lot of bamboo. I think we should try to do more
to stop cutting down forests. Pandas are already a rare animal and it would
be so sad if they became extinct (灭绝) forever.
The other animal we should try to protect more is
the Chinese alligator (扬子鳄). These creatures live in some parts of
eastern China. These beautiful animals live in freshwater rivers and lakes
but the water in some places isn’t clean
enough for them to live in. It’s really
dirty in fact. The government should stop factories polluting the lakes and
If we protect these beautiful animals in China, more
foreigners may wish to visit China to see them. They could be an important
tourist attraction. It would be good if more people came to visit our
beautiful country, especially to see the quieter areas in the country. Now
most visitors just see the cities.
I hope you will encourage more people to think about
such an important subject.
Sincerely yours,
Huang Jing
1.What’s Huang Jing’s project at school about?
2.What animals did Huang Jing talk about in his
letter?
3.How much bamboo can a panda eat in 24 hours?
4.Why is the water in some places too dirty for
alligators to live in?
5.If you are a hero of the month like Huang Jing, what
else will you possibly do to help protect the animals in
danger?&&&（请自拟一句话回答）
